PhD 2

Dear PhD,

Doxology and first of all…..go down low.

That is a line from a song by Olamide the Baddo crooner and that line suddenly caught our hearts and our mouths dished it like wildfire as it is a common word used on daily, thanks to the song which was and still is a big hit. The words has been in existence even before the creation of the word I think, but then it was pieced together by that talented young man; First of all…….go down low.

Today it is not about Olamide or a dancehall beat or catch phrase or Grammy award winning line in a song it is about the failed institution in Nigeria and how it has become a recurring decimal on our psych and consciousness. The well thought out plans and schemes to derail the stability of a great Nation like Nigeria and greater people as Nigerians has become a common sight and sound as we are forced to watch on national TV our Criminally Insane Leaders battling for the survival of their criminal heritage and listen to bogus lies on the radio how they are working and “trying to repair” what was not spoilt in the first place, or do I say what they spoilt.

More pressure should be on your mind as the Commander in Chief of the country to deliver at least 10% of the dividend of democracy to the populace instead of pursuing what possibly may lead to your demise from relevance and importance because these things are not muscled but gained over a period of time in the pursuit of service to mankind and God. The commander in Chief should be seen as a man defending his tuff and making sure he stays the man instead of being played for a pawn and if he wants to be played for the pawn or taken for a ride, he should be seen as such and not trying to be all he can when he cannot even convince himself he is in charge.

Are you in Charge sir? Are you being made to believe you are in charge? Is it working for you being in charge this way?

Relevance is a state of being and not acquired with money and more sad is that the monies being used to acquire such relevance are stained with blood, blood of Nigerians who have been deprived of their right to live as an independent people and forced into advanced slavery all in the guise of practicing Democracy. It is of this same Democracy that Fela Anikulapo Kuti sang and warned us that it is a Demonstration of Craze, and I cannot stop agreeing more with the Abami Eda, because it is a common sight to see leaders of our country going crazy in day light and night time demonstrating crazily and irresponsibly before the people they are made leaders over when they should be setting workable and acceptable examples.

Mad people on the street know the importance of madness and even if we fail to notice, they never behave sane because they are not, so it is really disturbing to see sane people like the ones you are familiar with (Criminally Insane leaders) walking in and out of madness. You can’t be both. The state of the Nigerian polity has become the center of attraction to the world and people wonder why with so much monies and natural resources, we are still being tagged as an underdeveloped Nation while Nations that started out later are actually competing for relevance in the world stage as Developing or Developed Countries.

I have some pointers that may possibly lead you to understand that there are more we need as a people than what we are getting and the treatment being meted us is unacceptable and may lead to continuous divided loyalty to the Nigerian nation. We have been divided but the divide may get wider and when it does, there may not be a chance to close it. As for you and the various leaders, their loyalty divided long before now and they pitched your tents against the unification of the Nigerian Nation and we are okay with that because these persons are less than a million out of over 150 million great individuals with exceptional qualities, talents, hearts, patriotism and love.

My thought is that the pursuit of happiness of a people you are privileged to lead, their welfare and continuous survival in peace should be key and not of selfish gains as propelled by greed from within and outside you, these greed will never get your name on the books of history for good reasons. Greed and the pursuit of vain things makes leaders become gods and when they see themselves as such, they magnify themselves and call out the Almighty for a duel. We have over time from history read of some persons who failed in their bid to remain relevance in their own accord and ended up becoming the stain on history and as we are aware, History does repeat itself.

Bros, 2015 is still far and I am alarmed at the level with which you guys are killing yourselves over that year when you cannot even determine when your end will be, how can you keep living life like you own yourself?

The No. 1 office of the land will be vacant soon and there are many persons who think they are credible enough to make good on the aspiration of the people and like you, they too are making sure they present their case to the people hoping that we will decide to give them a chance like we did you to either make good or mess us up like you have done and still doing. Are you forgetting that you are the Commander in Chief and that counts for something? Are those boneheads you have around you not smart enough to explain the power and strength of incumbency? You are the incumbent for Pete’s sake and you are yet to identify of whose son you are, because clearly you are failing to work in line with that understanding.

First of all Mr. PhD……go down low, I cannot assure you of your win in 2015, but I can assure you that you will be the better for it after 2015 if you can just go down low into these issues below:

1. EDUCATION: This is one of the most important sectors of a community and we will never be better for what God has created within us if we are deprived the opportunity to attain higher learning be it in the classrooms, pages of newspapers, radio stations, internet and daily living. Education is the foundation that sets the people higher than the rest of creation and funny enough, we have as a nation been given pretty much what is unacceptable. We have been forced to drop values and quality of education in this country while other countries of the world have taken it upon themselves to keep evolving and improving in that aspect because to them it is an IMPORTANT sector and no developing or developed nation will take it for granted the way you have.

For starters, whatever were you thinking playing with the future of over 10 million Nigerian students by keeping them out of school indefinitely? If this was obtained when you went to school, would you have been able to graduate at the time you did and with more than a degree? Why on earth would you appoint a known thug, uncouth and irresponsible individual to the office of the Ministry of Education? Are these appointments carried out by your Princess? If yes, please I strongly advise you to desist from it going forward, the student has no right evaluating the teacher if he fails to pass his exams. What informs your decision to appoint these persons to these offices when we all know they have no business being there?

2. HEALTH: are the people of this nation supposed to die in their own land and from the institutions they created? Why is nothing working and why are we now the biggest medical tourist in the world? We spend an upward of N1billion annually for medical treatments overseas and yet we still have offices we call Hospitals, Ministry of health etc and people are retained and paid salaries without anything to show for what that sector stands for. Why are you bent on taking it upon yourself as the one that grounded our economy when we still have people like IBB, OBJ, Atiku, Gowon, Abdusalam, Buhari, Tukur, Anenih etc that could easily be pointed as the architects of the decay that we now experience? You were the golden boy and you was supposed to redefine the status quo to work for the masses from whence you came, and I will quickly agree it is hard to win in the midst of these principalities but then you have yourself to blame when you keep going to pick the dead and place them amongst the living.

It is a common thing to see and hear of how Nigerians from Nigeria which is supposed to be the giant of Africa with abundant natural resources being flown out of the shores of our countries to countries regarded and branded as Slums for quality health care and you will be quick to take offence when international communities treats us as such. My brother truth is bitter but you must hear it, you don fuck up big time.

3. SOCIAL WELFARE: it is a common knowledge that the people are a product of their society and if the society is faulty, you will always see uncouth, irresponsible, ill-mannered, criminally insane rogues, militant billionaires, disgruntled followers etc all over the place for it is easy for dirt to spread than for cleanliness to be achieved. The achievement of a society that will last must start from the creation and diligent adoption of the tenets of a solid and positive social welfare system. A system devoid of corruption and aimed at inculcating in the people especially the young ones that they country holds you dearly in her thought. With a system that works and seeks the welfare of her people, you will be amazed at the great things that will come out from this country that you and your cronies have seriously messed up. Do you really think you will live forever? If you do, are you forgetting you will lose strength and sight and taste and bowel handling and hearing and everything? No one will live as long as was recorded in the Bible so take that thought out of your small mind and focus on being the man you can be instead of trying to be the man they want you to be.

Nelson Mandela is African and his people and the world don’t want him gone from them and that is because he is a Man who was true to being a credible responsible person and took the welfare of his people seriously and he during his lifetime even while in prison, lived, breath, ate and drank it hook line and sinker. Ask yourself this, do you think anyone will lose a second’s sleep if you were to be at the verge of death from either old age or whatever? You know say that one no go happen.

4. SECURITY: Hmmm……, I can hear the very dead silent whispers of my heart saying “no security for the masses in Nigeria”. It was you who told us in a broadcast that terrorism is all over the world and that you think it is our own time to start experiencing it and hence advised that we live with it. Shocking right? It is really shocking to the world when you said it and we thought it was a slip of tongue but then when you went on to say “I don’t give a damn” and also ordered the army to combat peaceful demonstrators in January of 2012. Millions of Nigerians have been killed since your take over through stagnation, unemployment, Boko Haram and Militancy which we have now come to realize is an arm of your government and from happenings of late, it is a plum sector ………
