Yar Adua Cannot Lead Nigeria Anywhere

Yar Adua Cannot Lead Nigeria Anywhere
By Emmanuel Franklyne Ogbunwezeh
Nigerians are the worst of dysfunctional optimists in the world. But shock awaits their timidity. Umaru Musa Yar Adua will never lead Nigeria anywhere. He is grossly ill equipped for that. He has lacks the vision and the competence. He is simply bidding for time, giving the hawks below the covering fire to plunder Nigeria as much as they can before the baton is handed over to the next species of tribal buccaneers to use Nigeria for their own sport. If Nigerians think that epileptic or non-existent power supply will be addressed by this administration, they are in for a rude shock. Take this to the bank; this administration has no plan to that effect. It lacks the moral muscle or the administrative competence to achieve that. It will go into the catalogue of failed government policies.

Frank,

You are at your best here today and smoking.This is a masterpiece presentation of facts that cannot be denied.
The bitter truth is what you've spoken,that Yaradua is a "no show". And who will deny it?
It is a shame that for nearly 50yrs, Nigeria is still not able to elect a dynamic leader who can truely lead this nation out of blackman's pathetic jungle unto modern day economic prosperities and self realisations.
Based upon the truths that you unearthed about the tragedy of having the type of Yaradua as President,can you now see it yourself the blackman's tragedy that Osuji was directing our attentions to the other time? Is it not the same kind of blackman's tragedy that you just highlighted? Yes,it is!
Emma,sincerely speaking,are you aware of any democratic society in the West that would put the type of Yarardua in office as President?Only in a blackman's country can such happen and our Nigeria is a typical example.
Check these out.
In 1960 at Independence,Sir Tafa Balewa got into office as Prime Minister, but Tafa knew not how to nurse up the newly emerged nation and how to lay solid foundations for future economic bouyancy.
Instead for Balewa to seek for helping hands from those who are skilled in the job,he concentrated his attention and the nation's resources into fighting his chief opposition leader,Obafemi Awolowo. He framed up the sage and locked him away.He then turned to Zik and neutralized him.
Balewa's six years in office was only a sorry merry-go-round and a very bad begining for a newly independent nation.
Then,came our most humble Aliyu Shagari who in the first place did not want to be President.The most he planned to be was a Senator but he found himself in Presidential office anyway.
In Western democratic countries,are you aware of any of them that will knowingly put in office as President, someone who is visibly unwilling to be President? We saw it in blackman's country of Nigeria.
What did Mallam Aliyu Shagari do or what did we expect him to do? Poor job indeed!
The ferocious lions that packed his NPN{National Party of Nigeria} were preying on the nations economic resources and actually started the era of massive treasury lootings.
What did Shagari the unwilling President do?He looked the other way throughout as the wrecking of the country he supposed to be govering continued until cowboy Buhari rode into town and led him out of the office.
Then came His Majesty and former military dictator, Olusegun Obasanjo another an unwilling individual who was fresh out of jail.
His paymasters,sponsors,friends and political partners were old timers.They included professional thieves and scientific treasury looters,evil perpetrators, expert election riggers and extravagant opportunists.The rest is history.
Today another tragedy struck this unfortunate blackman's nation which is what your work is centered around - the unholy imposition of Yaradua on a nation that is groaning in economic pains.
The President that was imposed upon us according to you is the one that has no plan for the nation he was "elected" to govern. The imposed President does not know what to do in the first place hence he has not embarked on anything after one year in office.
You are right,Emma,he cannot lead the nation. He knows not where to go and if he ever does he is lacking in strenght to move on.
A well presented episode of blackman's tragedy.

Look Emmanuel,try to avoid acusing your leaders,don"t you think you may be a leader,look even the bible prohibited you to do so,since you are a good writer,historian as well as evaluator of nigerian leaders,it is important that you evaluate nigerian people so that we will know who is at fault,the leaders or the people.
Hope this is the right idea for you instead of acusing,because leader is a leader what ever he is,so avoid it Mr Emmanuel.

I wrote in part 4 of my series "One Nigeria: To be or not to be? that Alhaji Tuwo Yaradua, like ALL his predecessors, is another INCOMPETENT, CORRUPT, VISIONLESS AND MORALLY BANKRUPT RULER and that HE IS FAR FROM BEING THE MESSIAH that will lead us to THE PROMISE LAND. Political , social and economic events have proved me right again

Bode Eluyera · Oct 30, 2008 , 05:01 AM

All what these COWARDS are capable of doing is to intimidate and arrest armless and innocent Nigerians. They DON'T have the BRAINS NEITHER to run a successful economy nor country. He is only capable of eating his lovely tuwo, running to the British to help him fix the Nigerian Police Force, giving Nigeria medical bills for his ENDLESS treatment in Germany. YARADUA IS A A CONFUSED MAN. WE ARE DOOMED!!!

The ONLY SOLUTION - as I have said many times over and over, is to GET RID of these UNGRATEFUL PARASITES!!! NO OTHER WAY OUT!!!

Bode Eluyera · Oct 30, 2008 , 05:35 AM

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS ARTICLE! Concerning Obasanjo, I saw it coming too in my 2 parts series "Election rigging and other atrocities: Obasanjo is NOT guilty!

The problem with most Nigerians, especially the religious ones, is that we are optimistic, but WITHOUT ANY JUSTIFICATION. 2. We are VERY EMOTIONAL and NOT READY for drastic measures - like dividing up Nigeria; and getting rid of the descendants of Usman Dan Fodio, FOR GOOD. This is our main undoing.

THESE PEOPLE ARE READY TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER 100 HUNDRED YEARS IN ORDER TO SOLE THESE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC PROBLEMS.

Lawal,
What did Emma say that rumbles your stomach in this case and where in your so called Bible was is said that a leader cannot be corrected or talked about when he is not leading?
Did Jesus Christ{in all His Greatness}not stand up to Jewish leaders{Pharisees,Sadducees,Scrbes etc} and condemned them for lousiness and cursed them out?Did Jesus Christ not accuse the Jewish leaders of various ecclesiatical crimes?
When Saul failed in his Royal assignments,was he not condemned,dethroned and replaced? Several Kings and leaders suffered same fate in the Bible when they failed in their assigned duties.
It is on record how Prophets of God confronted powerful leaders Kings etc in the Bible and condemned them of wrongdoings.
The list is endless if you would like us to travel through the Bible.
If you are a sincere Nigerian,you should consider Emma as our modern day social prophet and thank him for coming out in broad daylight to ring the alarm so loudly that an incompetent sick and lousy President is dubiously imposed on over 140million Nigerians.
I don't know where you are from but your assertion sounded as if you are from the North,the most primitive and barbaric segment of Nigeria.It is only in the North that leaders must not be talked about no matter how evil such leader is.
Lawal, pls remember that not all Nigerians are Northerners nor enslaved by such perverse culture.No wonder,primitivities and barbarisms are still so visible in the North.

AJIGDIMOLAJA,
Look is not a matter of where i come from,because anywhere i come from i am nigerian,and when you go back to the nigerian leaders history from ZIK to YAR"ADUA ,evaluate them and find out who are the good leaders among them,and where they came from.
And if you want to know the type of YAR"ADUA leadership come to katsina state you will see the riality,and from there you will know who is he,look where are you when the OBSANJO ruling Nigeria,where does he lead the country and the entire citizen.
And when you talk about JESUS,does he acuse any leader on his own wish, go and read your bible,he do so with the authority of GOD,not like the way Emmanuel doing it.
Kai!!,so called nigerian leave our leaders to lead our country in a right position for the benefit of nigerian citizen.

You see my people, reasoning like this is the reason we are doomed in Nigeira.

Lawal sir,

I already visited Katsina several times as far back as when Usman Nagogo was the Emir and his son Hassan Usman was a top military official.
Recently,I came home and visited the North again and stopped by in your Katsina.
Katsina despite the fact that it has produced few "great" people is still so irritating to behold.An eye sore indeed.
Katsina State is still one of the most backward States in Nigeria with very high level of illiteracy. Beggers and destitutes still lined all the streets of Katsina just as it was in the days of Usman Nagogo while the fate suffered by the citizens is so lamentable. Surely,Katsina stinks like an Irish pig.
What did you say Yaradua do for Katsina?
Yes,I knew few things that he did. He imposed sharia on his already so primitive people so as to increase their primitiveness. He also bought two dialysis machines for the dilapidating Katsina General Hospital.
Not because he loved the people,but because he needed the machines for his own ill health.
Your schools are among the very worst in the nation while the breeding of "almanjiris" is skyrocketing.The list is endless.
Where was I during Obj's years in office?
I was here in Texas,USA. What about Obj? Why are you bringing him in here now? Were the people of Katsina not among those that voted for him in 1999 when we his people all over the Southwest rejected him at the polls even in his own ward?
Then, blame your own opportunistic people, not us.
It may be truthful to say that the Prophets who confronted past leaders in the Bible did so having been instructed by God to do so.
I'm of the opinion too that it was the same God that put it in the mind of Emma to cry out against an evil and inept sickly President who was imposed upon us.
Do you say,NAY? That was why I considered Emma,{based upon the contents of that article} as a modern day social prophet.
Even though you are a Nigerian as you rightly said,yet where you come from sometimes matters, especially when it comes to the way you reason and do things.
I travelled far and wide in Nigerial and lived in the old Northern Nigeria.I'm quite very familiar with how the North reason and do things.Are you not surprised that I quickly figured you out?
The way you reason is the way the North reason.The way the North reason is responsible for the North's continual backwardness.
Sincere greetings!

VOR · Oct 31, 2008 , 02:43 PM

Thanks Agidi, I was wondering which Katsina state he was referring to.

Lawal, I can see you greatly benefitted from UMYA's educational policy in Katsina state during is 8 years of governance.

lawal kurabau · Oct 31, 2008 , 09:00 PM

look Agidimolaja,i realise you are selfishness person,because all what you are saying is rubbish,it does not contain any point.
Sorry,this is not the point for anybody to understand or to support even the irresponsible person.
Also even the Dogs in katsina realise the development 1999 to date without selfishness,we know the other states and their position.
Sorry for you i don"t know you are like that.

Lawal,
Do your readers the favour of telling them in full all that your exGovernor{now President} Yaradua did for Katsina while in office that you are crowing about.
When I visited there few months ago I did not see a single trace of development.
It is dogs that know what Yaradua did, not human beings. Those dogs in Katsina must have been well fed by Yaradua while his fellow human beings are so hungry and lacking in all basic amenities.
