We live in interesting times in Nigeria today. Cowards and Villains nobody knew when it mattered most in Nigeria between 1985 and 1998 are the ones terrorizing Nigeria today. Lily-livered men without bones who could not raise a voice in the days of locusts are the ones telling us today that they are courageous and strong. Men who are women who could not stand up the way the Late Ken Sarowiwa stood up to Abacha Regime are now the common fools abusing our nationhood.
Now enter Asari Dokubo, the emergency activist, the only bold one in Nigeria, the man stronger than all the armies of Nigeria. Nigeria can never change. Some of the things we accused Northern Military leaders of doing from 1985 to 1998 are repeating itself today in Nigeria. Sectional Politics, Ethnic preoccupation, Mediocracy, Favoritism and impunity are driving leadership in Nigeria today.
When the good man, the late President Yar’ Adua was hospitalized and could not continue in office in his capacity as the president many raised their voices to call for President Jonathan to be sworn in but the coward and opportunist Asari Dokubo did not threaten fire and brimstone.Today Asari Dokubo, the school drop out has become the defender and strong pillar of the President. Asari Dokubo has been making provocative and irresponsible statements abusing everybody who do not share his ideas and sentiments. He has threatened blood shed and war times without number and yet he continues to walk the street as a free man. Others from other sections of the country have been picked up and detained for doing the same thing Asari Dokubo is doing today. Mallam El Rufai was detained in Awka for going to witness Anambra Guber elections. Mallam El Rufai was also questioned recently by SSS for saying that there maybe bloodshed if we mess up with 2015 elections.
Asari Dokubo and Chief Edwin Clark may think they are helping President Goodluck Jonathan but in actions and deeds they are creating big problems for the President. Nigerians know that President Goodluck Jonathan has empowered Asari Dokubo, Chief Edwin Clark and others in such a way that they are now multi billionaires. The world knows that Asari Dokubo and Clark have never had it so good. No wonder both of them are now planning to set up a university each. But success is supposed to be managed. Asari Dokubo and his co-traveller Chief Edwin Clark lack the capacity and the common sense that this is the time for consultations with other Nigerians and not confrontation. Both lack the discipline to consider the feelings of other Nigerians at a time like this. One understands the politics of tribes in Nigeria very well and both have the right to support one of their own but thinking in terms of other people is the way to go for the sake of unity, peace and harmony.
I blame the past presidents of Nigeria for depending so much on crude oil instead of developing other sectors of the economy. Japan has no oil and yet is a world power today. Singapore has no oil and yet it is one of the best countries in the world today. Nigeria can do without oil if and only if we can have a thinking and creative Leader. The world today is thinking of what is in our heads and not what is underground. Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, Ford Motors, Toyota, Mercedes, Intel, Twitter, Panasonic, KIA, Hyundai e.tc. are not oil companies. Asari please take notice that the world is moving away from crude oil.
Asari Dokubo in his stupidity thinks that President Jonathan will be installed into office in 2015 by executive fiat. No sir! It is going to be decided through the ballot box and i know that politics is a game of numbers. We may have been writing Presidential election results in the past but Asari Dokubo must put it in his head that votes will count in 2015. Everybody’s eyes are wide open now and woe betide any crook that will want to do something funny in 2015.
Again we must register into the consciousness of every Nigerian that it is not a must that every President in Nigeria must get eight years in office. The reason why elections are conducted every four years is for the electorates to have the liberty to change a bad leader or to re-elect a good leader. A leader that lacks the capacity to perform should not be re-elected.
All things considered ,there are many compelling reasons why President Jonathan may not be re-elected in 2015. One is that we have to worry about the feelings of other ethnic groups in a democracy. The unity of this country is very important. If the President is re-elected in 2015 he would have ruled for 10years in 2019. I do not think it is fair judging from the circumstances that lead to President Umaru Yar’Adua’s death. Secondly, corruption at the federal level under President Jonathan is alarming and unacceptable. Thirdly, impunity has assumed a frightening dimension under the leadership of President Jonathan. Fourthly, the inability of President Goodluck Jonathan to tackle the problem of insecurity is threatening also. In the midst of plenty our institutions are collapsing with no end in sight. The power sector is still down.
Asari Dokubo must shut up now and hold his peace. The best he can do now is to start moving round the country with the billions President Jonathan has provided for him to canvass for votes for Jonathan. Asari Dokubo cannot continue to preach hate to the Northerners and yet still think they will vote for President Jonathan. I plead that the loquacious Chief Edwin Clark should do the same.

ReplyDeleteThose In The Core-North That is giving you money To write this rubbish will later Kill you.....
In 2011 your people the Igbo's gave GEJ the highest Vote in Nigeria,,,,And They Will Do More In 2015......So Help Your self with something else....
Joe, when will you learn the right hand clean your eyes with? When will you learn to be polit in your written? When will learn to respect elders, even the Bible say it, so that you can live long on the land your God has given you. For Asari Dokubo, he has the right to say what ever he want but only time can tell. For Chief Edwin Clark, he has paid his duties to this conutry, and has the right to call you and your party who are despreta for power that by all means to shout their mouth and if they want to change the govt, it should only be through the ballout not through proaganda. I rest my case.
DeleteLike being a general commentator like u, I think that's what Mr joe here is trying to do, u post ur comments, expressing urself with the way u feel, isn't so? Then why do u have to castigate Mr Joe? Guy do unto others s u want them to do to u!
DeleteU can't force GEJ down our throats on this platform! First it was MATOLSKY! ( I guess he had gotten a better job by now) now you!!. I don't hate GEJ but Pls let his good work speak for him.
MALIK¤
You are lacking a common sense ignorant of reality
Delete@Emex and anonymous@5:07,I advise that you call up your ideas and stop this stupid castigation of Joe Igbokwe.
DeleteEmex you have never been reasonable since I have been following your comments on this medium.
The two of you speak and write bad english with terribly wrong spellings .
Be reasonable!!!
Emex is clearly thinking from his anus.
DeleteAnd you & Emex are stupid, ignorant ethnic-leaning, xenophobic bastards. GEJ is as shamefully stupid as he looks & Asari more so. Edwin Clark is a thief & squanderer of our national resources.
DeleteJonathan will never get my vote & I know many others who say the same thing. So go fuck yourselves.
Nothing for you.
@Emex...dont b sentimental in ur comments!evrybody has freedom of speech,there4 dont dont go down/condemn d opinions of others.4rm ur contributn its crystal clear dat u r takin one side as u av bn bribed,so whatch ur back when next u make comment.lov u...
ReplyDeletejoe,keep on decieving yourself for the peanut you are recieving.just as the ijaw have suffered,igbo have suffered even more.igbos are killed like flies in the north.just see how igbo suffered during the prolonged army rule.they were like outcasts ln the police army navy and airforce .how many of your state have federal presence?u think that lagos is your home,abi?ijaw is even better their oil can help them if it happens...keep on fooling around,idiot
ReplyDeleteIgbos's are killed like flies? How? And where. Where are the statistics and proof bring it and present it. Also make sure u come along with statistics of how much our Igbo brothers are making in business outside their land. Don't just come here and talk nonsense ok, talk with facts.
DeleteAre you sure that this so called saint is an Igbo man? Large mouth, go and address the Boko harams and stop being what u are not. Bold talk and call for armegeddon is not the exclusive preserve of Buhari and his minions .If you have eyes to see, you will find out that Joe came to transform Nigeria, but those 'who must rule for ever' have frustrated him even with mindless people like you. Igbokwe, as you call urself, go and grow up. Don't bring shame to your people by being a hireling.
ReplyDeleteEmex... do u reason like a goat or sheep? 4 GOD's sake is there anythin wrong wt d points Joe lgbokwe raised? Hve u 4goten dat asari was not suportn gej in d past b4 'some papers' changed hands? Hve we ever wtnesd any president as triblisd as gej? Are d ijaws aware dat even if gej wins d nxt election(GOD 4bid) one day his tenure wl xpire? GOD help naija!

The drop out is proving that those that sent him out of school were right. When men were men where was he? A brave and courageous fighter doesnt talk but believe in actions only. He evem won't be around when there is real fight.

ReplyDeleteLadies n Gents, I like to inform all to consistentlygive kudos to bros GEJ. Most people claim he does things wit sentimentn, but come to think of it, he has really done quite enough for the northerns aboki dem even at detriment of his people here in d south yet u northerners claims he has not done anything. Its obvious in d north a lot of federal government project done n stil on going since d begining of tenure, without anything done by FG in d south. Because of d crave fr power PDP governor dat wants to rule d affairs of country by all means will d same people will b condemning this best administration we hv ever had in the history of this country. This new PDP now in APC. What differnce r they goin to make in this country, what has changed in them dat has made dem beTter persons nw, pls tell us.

Ibokwe, i salute you once more and pls never mind what some those brainless and spineless FOOOOOOOLS are talking about.

ReplyDeleteI guess is time for us to get it right.Ask E.K.Clark why is it that is now that he has to moved to Abuja. Was Abuja created today? who caused warri crisis? OBJ, pardon him few years ago, why was the former sch. of nursing Warri was seized from when he was a minister. Ask E.K. clark his during Niger delta crisis? Why is he Father to all Niger militants group. We strongly believed that God Almighty exist.All evil men shall recieved their rewards on earth/ Heave.
