Most columnists, writers and public
commentators have shied away from doing so but today yours truly will treat a
matter and pose a question that is in the hearts and minds of many both within
and outside Nigeria.
The question is whether President
Muhammadu Buhari (remember him?) is actually dead or still alive. And, assuming
that he is still alive, is he lost to the world in a vegetative state and deep
coma, is he suffering from an extreme and crippling form of dementia or is he
lucid, functional, rational and clear-thinking?
These are the relevant and
poignant questions that many are seeking answers to yet this whole matter and
everything that flows from it, for some strange and inexplicable reason, is
shrouded in the utmost secrecy and subterfuge.
The Presidency has told us that
Buhari has travelled out of the country yet no-one has seen pictures or footage
of him going out of Nigeria or arriving in his preferred destination in a
foreign land.
Assuming that he really did
travel out one wonders which country he was ferried to, whether he went there
on his feet or on his back and whether he is presently on admission in a
hospital or resides in a private or official residence.
The Presidency claims that he is
still alive and we sincerely hope that this is the case.
Yet many have their doubts simply
because it has been proved over and over again that the Federal Government are
nothing but a nest of vipers and a brood of pernicious and pathological liars.
They lie as if there is no
tomorrow and consequently few believe anything that they say including the
assertion that the President is still alive or that he is running the affairs
of our nation from his sick bed in the United Kingdom.
The truth is that if the
Presidency or the Federal Government told us that it was day outside most of us
would be forced to assume that it was night.
That is how skeptical the more
discerning amongst us are about what those in power tell us.
Between the rulers and the ruled
in Nigeria today there is no trust.
Consequently we are under no
obligation, given their compulsive and sociopathic affinity for mendacities and
deceit, to believe anything that the Buhari administration or the Presidency
tells us.
The bottom line is this: if the
President is dead, stop playing games, tell us the truth, bury him with dignity
and let his soul rest in peace.
If he is alive let us know
exactly what has afflicted him, what his condition is, where he is, how he is
doing and, most important of all, give us PROOF OF LIFE.
Anything short of treading one of
these two paths is not only dishonorable but also utterly reprehensible and
amounts to nothing less than a glaring and singular insult to the collective
sensibilities of the Nigerian people. Simply put, we have a right to know the
truth.
The usage of lies, deceit,
secrecy, subterfuge and disinformation in the administration of governance
coupled with the promotion of indiscipline, the encouragement of impunity, the
disobedience of court orders, the undermining of the rule of law, the
destruction of democratic institutions and the lack of fairness and justice are
the worst forms of corruption.
Sadly this government, more than
any other in the history of our country, is guilty of each and everyone of
these grave charges. This is deeply troubling and it gives us cause not only
for concern but also deep introspection.
Meanwhile we congratulate Acting
President Yemi Osinbajo for finally signing the 2017 budget. Even though we are
already half way through the year, as they say, it is better late than never.
This is a step in the right
direction and it is worthy of applause and commendation. However what causes
some consternation and beggars belief is the asinine and childish assertion by
Mr. Shehu Garbage of the Presidency that President Buhari “gave his permission”
for the Acting President to sign it.
Honestly when I heard this
contribution I didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. I was constrained to ask
when the Presidency had transformed from being Nigeria’s most powerful and
exalted seat of power into a theatre of comedy and a home for second rate
comedians.
These people will do and say
anything to hide or distort the truth and to humiliate and undermine the
authority and standing of Acting President Osinbajo.
And the fact that Osinbajo allows
them to get away with it is an eloquent testimony to his nauseating weakness
and inability to take control and administer power in the way that he is
expected to do.
After all we do not operate a
monarchical system of government in Nigeria and Buhari is not a King. He does
not have any “divine rights” and he is not a deity or a ruler with absolute
powers.
He is simply a
democratically-elected President who is bound by the rules and conventions of
the constitution and who is meant to be nothing more than a servant of the
people.
In this context the question that
needs to be answered is simple and clear and that question is as follows.
Does an Acting President need the
permission of a sick, AWOL and bed-ridden President, who has been compelled by
his debilitating ill-health to formally hand over power to his
second-in-command as the constitution dictates, to sign the budget? The answer
is a resounding “no”.
This is especially so when we
have been intimated and informed by an excitable, well-known and rabidly
pro-government and fanatically pro-APC online medium known that the President
is in a “vegetative state” and that he “cannot speak to those around him or
recognise his environment”.
If the Presidents friends and
supporters can write and publish such things about his medical condition what
are the rest of us supposed to think or believe?
We have been assured by that
medium that his situation is so critical that even his wife was barred from
seeing him when she travelled all the way to the United Kingdom to do so.
If this is true (and up until the
time that I am writing this contribution it has not been publicly refuted or
denied) it raises some very serious questions and the first one of those
questions is why the Presidency and the Federal Government deem it appropriate
to hide the truth from the Nigerian people?
Yet it does not stop there. Mr.
Eric Joyce, the well-known British ex-military, ex-Member of Parliament and
serving MI6 operative who has always had a special interest in Nigeria and who
has always been an ardent supporter and friend of the President and his
government has come out boldly to suggest that Buhari is dead and he has
challenged the Nigerian people to ask the Presidency for proof of life. His
words:
“For now, with no sight nor sound
of the President and no proof even of life for some time, it seems that in a
bid to manage the succession the Presidency may be lying to the public about
the Presidents health or even life, and making Nigeria’s democratic status a
mockery into the bargain”.
If we choose to reject Joyce’s
suggestion that Buhari is dead and instead we accept the narrative that he is
still alive but bed-ridden and critically ill, the assertion that he is in a
position to “give permission” for the budget to be signed remains equally
childish and absurd.
And the truth is that the Villa
rats that made that astounding assertion are talking and behaving like second
rate actors and low-level performers in an X-rated, sleazy and seedy Parisian
porn film and Swedish blue movie.
All you hear from them are
animal-like grunts and groans and loud, fake orgasms.
This is corpsocracy in its most
glaring, repugnant, primitive and repulsive form. It is a squalid and sordid
attempt to impose a godless and alien system of governance which can be best
described as the “rulership of the living by the dead” on the Nigerian people.
Nigeria cannot be ruled from the
grave. She cannot and must not be ruled by the dark and faceless agents and
sinister emissaries of a shrouded and embalmed Egyptian-like entombed mummy or
the surrogates of a corpse that is either stone-cold dead or is dead to to the
world and barely alive.
We deserve far better than that
and we have the right to be told the truth no matter how bitter that truth may
be.
The fact of the matter is that
anyone that believes anything that this evil government tells them is truly
lost.
The truth is that it was not
Buhari that gave Osinbajo permission to sign the budget but rather evil mafia
and dark cabal that runs this country in his name.
If those that put that statement
out were not utterly shameless how can they even say publicly that an Acting
President who is more than capable of running the country has to wait for
permission or for backing from a sick President that no-one has seen or heard
from in weeks to sign a budget six months into the fiscal year.
Clearly these people are drunk on
power and it has affected their ability to reason properly or think straight.
Clearly Nigeria is in a precarious position right now.
Our government is a government of
liars who are sustained by lies, who live by lies and who will die by lies.
Their spiritual foundation and
the very essence of their being is built on nothing but perfidy and mendacity.
Their souls are dark, their
spirits are corrupt and their consciences are seared beyond redemption.
The shedding of human blood is
their delight, the sacrifice of the innocents is their pleasure and the
administration of disaster, hardship and misery is their joy.
They are nothing but sadists
whose declared intention is to keep us in bondage and rule for another “two
hundred years”.
And even as our people are dying
of hunger and being slaughtered on a daily basis by Fulani herdsmen and Boko
Haram they offer no apology for their shameful and glaring incompetence and
neither do they display any remorse for their inability to protect the people
that they were elected to serve and defend.
Instead of doing that all they do
is just tell us one lie after the other. For example when asked about Buhari’s
medical condition the Minister of Information, Mr. Lai Mohammed, had the
effrontery and nerve to tell Channels Television that
“President Buhari is alive and
well and he talks to Acting President Osinbajo every day!”
If anyone believes that hogwash
they will believe anything! And the minute Lai said it his already big, fat and
oversized nose grew ten inches longer.
What a terrible plague and affliction
has befallen our nation. That plague and affliction is known as Muhammadu
Buhari and his clandestine cabal of sinister and byzantian tormentors.
May God deliver Nigeria from
their evil claws and mendacious clutches.
