I’m intoxicated not through the means of being drugged up to the eyeballs but to address Mr President .
I got all my ducks on a row to put the mockers on what’s really happening in Nigeria.
I hope and pray this memorandum will end up going around Robin Hood’s barn to get to Mr President.
The President has the wind at his back on these issues. Therefore, he must wake up and smell the coffee. I detest keeping up with the Joneses to be a mokingbird but love to be the parrot that vocalizes the bitter truth.
Message To United States President-Elect Joe Biden ,by Jonathan
I’m highly opinionated when it comes to something like this. With utmost respect and a feeling of deep admiration i honour all dignitaries and bigwigs.
Despite the fact that i have gone off the deep end i will still make a dive for your appraisal in dribs and drabs. The grand old man of decorum and dignity, cordiality and civility, kindness and niceness, gentleness and politeness, above all faithfulness and devoutness.
Let’s drill down some facts not to drive a coach and horses through Mr President plans, but to find solutions to the unceremonious occurrences of henous events under Buhar’s political dispensation.
Kidnap for ransom is one of the biggest organized group or gang crime in Nigeria and is seen as a national security challenge.
The current wave of abductions or kidnaps across the country makes every person a potential target regardless of social class or economic status.
Today, thousands of Nigerians have fallen victim of the crime and have had to pay millions of dollars in ransom for their freedom.
Mr President what’s happening? Where are our Chibok girls? Where is Dadiyata? And among others. Another epidemic is rape, a culture of rape and impunity persists, making it a herculean task for victims to hold their abusers accountable.
Due to the fact that law enforcement agents have been trying to deal with such cases, sexual assault has continued in a hectic pace.
Mr President what’s happening? Baraka Bello was raped and killed in her home. Vera Uwa Omozuwa was killed in her church in Benin city, Southern Nigeria, a twelve year old girl was raped by 11 men in Jigawa Northern Nigeria. And among others.
If we are to revisit the past conflicts between farmers and herders have exacerbated ethnoreligious hostilities because the majority of farmer – herder clashes have first occurred between Muslims fulani herdsmen and Christian farmers. Currently, aside the incessant killings, Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna, Niger and among other states ,how do we define their conditions ?
Mr President what’s really happening? Level of poverty has increased. Poverty has intoxicated and frustrated many people in Nigeria while famine is running off the feet Killing the masses all as a result of the rise in food index which has been caused by increases in prices of food stuffs such as bread and cereals, potatoes, yam and other tubers, fruits, oils and fat, meat, fish, vegetables and among others.
Mr President what’s happening? The increasing level of road traffic crash all the way from Kano, Kaduna, to Abuja and among other routes , the consequent of injuries and death necessitates the need for its resolution. Mr President these routes commit murder almost every blessed day as a result of unfinished road construction meanwhile the grass is always greener on the other side when it comes to the Southerners. Looters and embezzlement; embezzlement has remained terribly terrifying and consternating, Mr President you are surrounded by great looters but i don’t know if it has been as a result of your erroneous appointments.
You combat corruption and at the same time looting goes on. Take a look at magu for example. I’m putting a stop to latching onto these examples not because i have exhausted them, but to launch and establish the steps toward decompositioning the dilemma of Nigerians.
Mr President if you could recall with self exaltation when you cried foul, feeling tenderness and sympathy which endeared so many hearts, as your wonderful achievement of emerging as the President of the Federal Republic enlisted our admiration. Although, we have gone through thick and thin to situate and fix you there, but unfortunately the current situation of Nigerians cuts me some slack, therefore, i got a chip on my shoulder to discourse on behalf of them.
We (Nigerians) have been dullwitted by being placed on dullsville. Mr President your pattern of leadership has more holes than swiss cheese, but there is more than one way to skin the cat. Mr President you are our servant and i repeat, you are our servant, we are not your servants in any way. So, we are to decide for you what to do. I have all the more reasons why i said so. In the book of Mathew chapter 20 verse 26 the Bible says and i quote ” but among you it will be different, whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant. Exodus chapter 18 verse 21 the Bible says and i quote ” but select capable men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.”
The beloved Prophet of Allah Muhammad peace and blessings of God be upon him says ” the leader of a Nation is a servant.
He says all of you are shephards and each of you will be asked concerning his flock. The Glorious scripture Qur’an ” ….. they said, how can he have kinship over us while we are more worthy of kinship than him and he has not been given any measure of wealth? He said indeed, Allah has chosen him over you and has increased him abundantly in knowledge and statue. And Allah gives His sovereignty to whom He wills. And Allah is all- Encompassing in favor and knowing” the above verses have made it clear and self explanatory.
Mr President we are not against you dressing up the nines, enjoying merrimently or keeping fresh in the villa, but looking at the masses with the eyes of the compatriots not with the eyes of the previllaged few, considering the rags they put on, excessive famine or hunger worrying the poor etc. Before i leave i will want to take a french leave. Lastly, there is need to nip the failings or achilles heels in the bud.
Thank you Mr President
