Our Souped WikiLeaks Portion
Imagine the principal officials and officionado of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on a big dining table, at the head of the table is the president himself, on these occasion however there was no shouting and cursing in the hallowed chambers as the administrative position of the commander in chief is firmly secured, though the issues of competencies merely fall under the realm of souped up allegations, while the chief usherer and the quintessential voice of the president is hanging around for an opportunity to issue a flotilla of proclamations from the villa, however rather than them waiting for a hot bowl of soup, it was actually a meeting to tackle and strategize on how to interdict our former foreign friends, off-course the massive and gargantuan corruption allegation against former vice president Dick Cheney of the United States of America and Halliburton should elicit a bench warrant of arrest, though later the holder of diplomatic passport could enjoy a settlement out of court in mutual terms upon a paltry sum as it happened in the Siemense saga. This subsisting situation is an embarrassment to the position of Nigeria and a threat to the anti-corruption efforts of The Economic And Financial Crimes Commission, it could also be construed as a sabotage to the empirial reign of madam Farida Waziri as a corruption czar.
The seditious proclamation by Julian Assange and his activist collective on the person and position of the Nigerian president is nothing short of high treason and subversion of the highest order, a country that cannot pass the Freedom of Information Act should not be unnecessarily maligned and harassed, after the nation has been independent for the past fifty years, more so as we are marking a decade of democracy. Indeed Nigeria and its expensive legislators have gained enough experience in defending the institutions of democracy, thus when the unelected governor of the central bank sought to question their privileges, he was declared an imminent threat to democracy, his assertions about democracy going hand in hand good with governance was regarded as a mere plot to convince and confuse our temples of wisdom, after all who needs good governance when democracy grants freedom to fix your own salary and allowance, indeed is it not the same Julian Assange facing extradition charges on infractions of moral behavior as comparable to senator Ahmed Sani Yerima, yet the pious senator did marry the egyptian minor thus surely acted responsibly.
This is the premises upon which my unsolicited counsel arises as a pro bono service to the government of the child of necessity, were every little actions, infractions, innuendos, mistakes and misrepresentations are subjected to undue scrutiny, when the president on a visit to the national secretariat of the people's democratic party asserted that the zoning principle only existed at mind of his detractors, the party had to be forced to affirm a provision unknown to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, off-course the president had the last laugh as even the courts while admitting its existence yet declared their impotence to give it effect, thus an ineffectual provision could be equated with a nonexistent stipulation. Then came the bombing at the colloquium of presidential swearing-in ceremonies called the Eagle Square, where a nebulous organization sought to hijack the just struggles of the Niger Delta-people, and the president saw through it by declaring that a true son of Niger-Delta would never dare embarrass the president, the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger-Delta that was later implicated was actually a south African outfit under the influence of northern politicians.
However my free solicitor service is actually concerned with the latest revelation of the WikiLeaks para-legal materials, were the departed United States Ambassador Mrs. Robin Sanders made claims on the president's capacity and administrative competence, perhaps our president did not deem it fit to extend the kind of transport money extended to pastor Tunde Bakare of the Save Nigeria Group, yet even that gracious act was rewarded with an ungodly allegation of corruption leveled against the office of the president, however it is of note that it is part of African tradition to give transport money to a visitor as a sign of appreciation, thus whether it is fifty thousand dollars [$50,000] or fifty naira [N50] it is the thought that mattered, after all the money was indeed collected though later returned and in the context Nigerian laws the receiver and giver of graft are equally guilty.
The most distasteful portion was the incomprehensible claims that the president related in a conversation that there were more qualified persons that should have became vice president to president Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, as the only criteria that clinched the position to Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was his heritage and lineage as an Ijaw man from Niger-Delta, the peddlers of the discredited document forgot that the president is a doctor of philosophy with critical bias in animals of the wild kingdom and a perennial stepper on the big shoes of his principals that have perished due to natural and sometimes man-made tragedies, however the carefully crafted spin from Mr. Ima Niboro duely seem to have cleared the impressionable diplomatic posting, thus were lies my unsolicited solicitations.
