What’s up people?
Today is 4/20 and all I heard on the radio were KUSH and WEED references in every song played. I just believe that when adults stop being the biggest hypocrites then the youth of today will stand a better chance. How can adults preach to kids the importance of not doing drugs time and time again but yet be quick to sing along with Nate Dogg talking about “smoke weed everyday”. Wait minute is that DMX I see on television crying like a little Biaaaaaaatch? Oh, I can’t wait to talk about this next week on the blog spot. Get ready because it’s gonna be a CLASSIC.
Ok people; let me get focused...
It is a must that I question the criteria used by TIME Magazine in identifying the one and only Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan as one of its most influential people in 2012. According to TIME, Goodluck exemplifies the African political renaissance at a time when the people of the continent are starting to reap the fruit of their resources and their hard work. Na Lie… TIME also reports that Nigeria has grown out of its past of corruption, mismanagement and brutality under Goodluck’s regime. WTF? TIME went as far to credit Goodluck for turning Nigeria as an example of good governance. SMH! Now is this the same fedora wearing Goodluck? And is this the same Nigeria? This is truly utter nonsense.
The best way I would describe Goodluck Jonathan is this, what started out as a Walt Disney fairytale has truly become Nigeria’s nightmare. Goodluck is big on promises but short on delivery. Here are glaring failures under Jonathan since he took over office a little over two years ago that TIME ignored in their praise of Nigeria’s current president.
Corruption – for every James Ibori convicted this past week in the UK, there are thousands more who still serve as elected officials in Nigeria that abuse their seat in power by engaging in fraud, solicitation, bribery and high stakes kick-backs in Jonathan’s Administration.
Poor Leadership – only in Nigeria is where you wake up a village idiot drunkard one day and be elected as governor of state the next and the people say it was God’s will. Bulls**t! It’s more like somebody just got CTC aka…Collected THE Check. Case in point just take a look back at the fuel subsidy disaster where under Goodluck’s leadership a nationwide strike to protest his government’s removal of fuel subsidies threaten to cripple the country’s economy.
Blind Leading Blind – I love how we Nigerians do little to no research on who we elect to represent us in government while the poor are generally bought off and paid for their vote. They don’t care because the way the poor see it is, “hey at least am getting something in my pockets now because I will never see change that is promised anyways”.
Religious Strife – The way the media reports on bombings in Nigeria nowadays it’s like we are the new Israel & Palestine conflict. Everyday in the news is a report of some alleged attack on sect of people versus another. Goodluck’s inability to curb Boko Haram and their mass terror on Nigeria is unacceptable and if not better managed could subject the country into possibly another civil war.
Tribal Tension – Tribal beef in Nigeria will never go away. The rule remains protect your turf and look out for your kind ONLY. Go ask Jonathan, he knows all about that.
Go do your homework TIME.
