Hello President Jonathan, Are You Still Incharge?
Goodluck Jonathan,
President and
Commander In Chief Of The
Arm Forces,
Federal Republic Of Nigeria.
With due respect, i am writing you for the second time in five months with tears and pains regarding the current state of perturbation and fiasco we found ourselves in this Nation under your dictum. I must first of all salute your courage and efforts in refreshing Nigeria to a georgic land of hatred, ethnic bigotry, religious and tribal sentiments, i must also commend your transformation agenda for transforming Nigeria from peace loving nation to a battle field. Indeed, we have had enough fresh air.
Seeing we are no longer in the season of "Open letters" but in the season of "blames", i decided to inform you about the extreme state of calamitous tragedies we are and the way we live can only be compared to that of those in hell.
Sir, i am writing to inform you that more and more Nigerians are running out of serenity with your superintendence, the remaining few giving you benefit of doubt are seething with rage, you have disappointed us all and displayed no signs of regaining your lost veneration.
Permit me to remind you of a dishonorable and villainous etiquette you staged some weeks ago on the 15th April 2014 when you went partying after the brutal massacre of nothing less than 100 nigerians and the abduction of over 250 school girls, this flagitious demeanor didn't only tarnished your image but obliterated all your innocence if any toward the fight to fish out the sponsors of deadly Boko Haram operations in the rural, and If nothing, it has shown your dereliction to service and your gross irresponsibilities as the number one citizen of this country.
Lest we forget your Excellency, despite your promises to overcome the menace of insecurity in our land, your leadership is not showing any real generosity to the plight of terrorism ravaging the whole north and even expanding to other regions. Your regime keep double bouncing in the ongoing fight against terror, you keep scoring own goals and committing unforced errors, why? You always pretends to be doing your best but i am sorry to say if what we are witnessing is the best you can offer, then leaders of your quality are no longer needed in Nigeria and therefore, you may leave because we've had enough of your recklessness. I see no reason why you should ask for more.
When you declared a state of emergency in three states troubled by insurgency a year back, i thought it was a nice shot but later arosed to be a nice offside. The emergency rule proved fruitless as it only worsen the situation and came like a sort of motivation to the terrorists, it was never as lethal as during the rule of emergency. How comes? Your insensitivity to the plight may be a determining factor to the sluggishness of our unmotivated soldiers.
I may not be touched by the dividends of your management for the fact that i wasn't a Niger Deltan or may be being me an extract from where you considered as Chad, but to tell you the fact sir, nothing real has change since you took over leadership from late President Umar Musa Yer'adua, things only worsened but yet, you keep saying we should make sacrifice to help Nigeria grow. What kind of sacrifice do you precisely mean Mr. President?
If the you can throw a jamboree in Australia on behalf of Mama Peace and senators earn millions of dollars a year, why does you keep asking us, the people, to make sacrifice?
Sir, our lives are endangered, our unity is fast becoming extinct, our properties are annihilated, our schools are smashed, our daughters are abducted, our youths jobless and yet, you are desperate to return on power, to continue the wasteful fashion of rascality you are mushy of? Your “body language” carries more weight than what your senior aide posts on social medias, or what the younger aides retweet. No, no way, gone are the days when we will allow a clueless person to pilot our affairs.
Let me at least remind you (again) of the similarity between our current dilemma and the documented tragedies of years past. No difference, Nothing different indeed, really.
Yet, we keep reading on dailies and watching on televisions about the numbers your aides quoted to prove that things have become better under your watch, but this house is not in the best shape. Why is it that the common man's life hasn't felt the impact of the rising figures? The security of lives and properties should be, and it is top on the cardinal principles of any nation and the mandate you were elected to execute, but we are drawing down from eagles to chickens.
Sir, i know you have busy schedules ahead with preparations to gear up commencement for a smooth takeoff of the upcoming world economic summit in Abuja. At a time when the world is busy debating and passing resolutions on how to rescue the over 200 abducted school girls under your care, you are here busy declaring holidays and shutting down government businesses just to host a summit. Another unforced error.
Sir, we have had enough of your divide and rule peculiarity, nigerians are no more prejudiced in your temerity, we need not more of your monkey, we are sick and bored of your tommyrot, we are fed up with your halfheartedness, Nigerians want peace, we need actions not blames, we need solutions not cheap blackmails, we want a leader not a drunk bigot.
The reality is that people who foolishly placed so much hope on your candidacy and government have been so short-changed. Nigerians built heavily on your outrageous promises and got nothing in return. Your government, within its short life span, has been nothing but an unmitigated disaster.
We have never had it so bad. Life has not been really worth it in Nigeria but under your stewardship, the meaninglessly of life assumed a tragic dimension. Terrorists are having a field day – please ask the unfortunate victims of terrorism that have paid the heavy price.
Kidnapping has become an established respected profession. It got so bad that even Igwes and Emirs became fair games for kidnappers. As if these calamities are insufficient, Boko Haram swung into action in all its glory. Nigeria has become an unimagined wild jungle in the midst of civilized nations. Is this the fresh air we were promised?
With due respect Mr. President, we will no longer accept half devils-half Nazi leaders. We wouldn't tolerate injustice anymore, we have seized accommodating criminals gawking for immunity with impunity. We will be force to come out in mass and occupy Nigeria, we must protest the long surviving oppression from occupation. We won't summon to radicalism nor will we accept indiscipline and abuse of power, neither will we support corruption and injustice by few rascals accidentally opportuned to be on national leadership.
Your Excellency Sir, your aides are your greatest enemies. Your aides are contributing negatively to your reputation, they are all notice-me monkeys dancing in front of you but spoils your name at your back. Believe me or not, almost all of your aides are irrelevant in the political equation that no serious-minded person should take seriously.
The hypocrisy of your senior aides have successful succeeded in making your administration a miserable one for Nigerians.
However, it has become pertinent to alert you Mr. President that your aides represent the very worst of your administration. With aides and advisers like Abati and co. you certainly does not need any enemy. Indeed, your aides are more than enough. The earlier you purged your government of characters like Abati as you did to Gulak, the better for us all.
Lastly Sir, i wish you a smooth takeoff and landing of the upcoming world summit in Abuja and i prayed that it should be a hitch free conference. Drink well sir, as we storm Sambisa forest to search and free our abducted school girls since your leadership can't.
My regards to Mama Peace please, we are patiently waiting for the release of her next movie.
Usama A. Dandare
National Coordinator,
Social Movement For Change (SMC).
