State of the Nation: I’m still suffering for failing to stop Tambuwal from becoming Speaker in 2011 — Jonathan. Comment by True Nigerian ( culled from Sahara reporters) which I found instructive: The ever ethno-religiously manipulative Jonathan tries his magic wand on the Yorubas! Hahaha! What he failed to see is that the Yorubas couldnt care less about having the speakership of the House. How much improvement did Dimeji Bankoles days bring to the Yorubas? How much difference has the absence of Yoruba Speaker made to governance in Western Nigeria? Nothing! I come from a local government that produced the governor of my state for 8 good years in which he ruled like Sani Abacha. Yet, if you visit the same local government today, you will weep over the low human development index and the infrastructural poverty. But the same governor is known to have stolen as much as N8billion of public funds for himself alone. Meanwhile, if the local government he comes from gets a well-managed injection of N1b into some sensitive areas of the local economy/infrastructure, the people there would probably have 10 happy years added to their lifespan. So why on earth should it be my business to support such fellow for the speakership, senate Presidency or even the Presidency of Nigeria? Doesnt that make me a FUUL? President Jonathan, please get your thinking caps on and know that you are planting your divisive seeds on a stony rocky ground with no water! Your divisive ideas will not fly in the West of Nigeria. You are speaking to the region/ethnic group that voted against Obasanjo (an incumbent Yoruba President) in every election he contested since 1999, because they didnt believe in him, regardless of his ethnic origin. That is an exemplar for the rest of Nigeria. It is an example of what responsible electoral thinking should be among the voters. It is an example for your Ijaw people and my Igbo people who will vote for a horrendous Presidential leadership like yours which has made their lives twice more difficult on cost of fuel, high cost of corruption, higher school fees and more electricity bills for less power supply. The contemporary dynamism of the Yoruba electoral thinking is quite a stark contrast to the Nigerians who will vote for horrendous leaderships on grounds of ethnicism and religion, as if the consequences of horrible leadership is made any easier when the perpetrator comes from the same tribe as his victims. If the Yorubas were as sheepish followers of Tinubu as your warped logic seems to suggest, they would not have Fayose state and Mimiko state in an APC-dominated region. Think, Jonathan, think! Mr Jonathan, you should have been advised that the Yoruba thinking on politics is way more progressive and more advanced than your ethnic/village myopism in which you always unleash your Ijaw militants to threaten the rest of us about bringing down hell on earth if you are ever lawfully removed either through impeachment or through intra-party primaries or general elections. Quite opposite to your ethnocentric Ijaw reasoning, Yorubas of Nigeria cant be goaded into self-pity for missing out on your proposed speakership by Mulikaat who openly supported your horrendous anti-people policy on the fuel subsidy fraud committed by your friends and oil minister. Nigeria doesnt need such legislative leadership that is merely an extension of the irresponsible executive leadership which you anchor. Pastor Jona, please read the handwriting on the wall....it says mene mene tekeli Jona! meaning Jonathan, your shoes are oversize and expired, and you are fired!
