The first law of power says; Never Outshine the Master : Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power. But it is so very obvious the President Jonathan had undermined that law. Once upon a time, the former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo in the quest to hold unto power for as long as possible, tried to materialise a third term bid. Behold! He was humiliated by the anti third term political movement. Haven failed, he resorted to godfatherism with the view to rule indirectly (imperialism). If youd ask me, Id say he (Obj) is a good physicist; he employed the projectile formulae , he did his calculations well, looked onto the probable, possible prospect, and finally, he pounced upon late president Yaradua of blessed memory. The choice of Umaru was not without a baggage called Goodluck Jonathan; the man who was perfectly positioned to be helped to get a job. Let me put it succinctly; the idea of choosing Umaru was to make Jonathan, a man without any shoes, a president. This is topic for another day. Like a de javu, he passed away and piam! grin grin GEJ was sworn in... Lols... I could picture Obj sighed heavily and said hmm.... Mission accomplished. TWISTS AND TURNS It was so unfortunate that the imperialist failed to put into cognisance how absolute power grow at a geometric rate and corrupt absolutely. Verily I say unto you, Jonathan, foresaw his goals and played according to his scriptural objectives, but had his plans and road map to freedom. In slow succession, he (Jonathan) began to disentangle himself gently like a rat that blows air on its host while it bites off his skin. I just couldnt fathom with why he had to defile the first law of power by being sturbon to his godfathers dictations... 1. Maybe because he had other better ideas to transform the country. 2. Maybe because hes sort of a dictator too. 3. Maybe he wants to change the political paradigm of Nigeria as opposed to what the old quagmires laid down initially. Many are the speculated rifts that arouse between them such as: The PDP BoT tussle pls read here ----» mobile.punchng/output.php?link=punchng/news/pdp-bot-jonathan-obasanjo-to-clash-over-anenih/ The Gbenga Daniels connection: -----» mobile.punchng/output.php?link=punchng/news/obasanjo-jonathan-rift-worsens-%E2%80%A2the-gbenga-daniel-connection/ Alamieyeseighas pardon ------» mobile.punchng/output.php?link=punchng/news/alamieyeseighas-pardon-may-deepen-jonathan-obasanjos-rift/ These and many more. It is now very obvious that Obj had given up on Jonathan and he had resorted to another man whom he had seen traits of a puppet in. With his statement(s) in Jigawa state on democracy day celebrations in his exact words (“You can help a man to get a job but you can’t help him do the job”). and his boycotting the gathering in Abuja, theres no need for a seer to tell whats in the air around our political sphere. Governor Sule Lamido is about to help to become president come 2015. Over all, perhaps its a good thing Jonathan defiled the first law of power, probably because we cant continue to get new wines in old bottles no more. Obj had rule this country for so many years and we are still battling corruption and other heartbreaking brouhahas. Maybe he should retire back to his farm and focus on maximising profit. According to my friend; he (Obj) is a bad shopper, he cant continue to shop for presidents for us. Jonathan has his bunch of flaws, either he realise quickly and win our hearts and prolong his stay beyond 2015 or continue like this and he leaves there for good. God bless Nigeria!
