Charley boy Write and Open letter to Buhari
Mr. President Sir,
Once again I am compelled to voice out my
bewilderment at the stumbling and wobbly kind of
governance we have had since you came onboard.
I wonder what you are doing right now.
I wonder if our tears, pains and hopelessness affect
you in
anyway.
I wonder if you are the one in charge or some other
people.
You have tasted leadership before and you know
what it entails. I understand that. However, then and
now are two different scenarios, two separate
dispensations.
We know you.
We know about your war against indiscipline.
We hear about your no-nonsense stand against
corruption.
We have read so much about our stolen monies
which you have managed to recover. Well done sha.
Meanwhile, the nagging questions that leave me
sleepless most nights remain unanswered…
How much money have you collected from the looters
so far?
To what use have the monies been put?
From where I stand, it seems you’re the only one in
your cabinet fighting corruption while your praise
singers are busy washing you all over town trying to
convince us that you’re a good man.
I, CharlyBoy, know that you are a “good” man:
someone who loves the country, a patriot with a high
sense of morals perhaps. But na that one we go chop?
Is that all that is needed to fix the rot of over 40yrs.?
I don’t think so!
To a great degree, Nigeria has become a terribly
dysfunctional society.
I didn’t vote in the last elections because I just tire
with the kalokalo leadership so far. Even when a lot of
people wanted change, I wondered what manner of
change could come when in our history we never really
struggled for anything.
Before you sat on that chair, I proclaimed that Nigeria
would only survive under a benevolent dictator; one
with lots of selfless love for the country and is willing
to lay down his life, one who would deal mercilessly
with all those who have ruined our land.
A lot of people thought I was talking about you.
From Boko Haram to Niger Delta Avengers. MASSOB,
OPC, to Biafran Avengers, name it, the list is endless.
Mr President Sir, you ought to, as a matter of
urgency, review your approach to handling issues
because, sometimes diplomacy works better. Excessive
force will only breed more discontentment. Take it from
me.
Your mark of fair play must cut across board, you
must not leave room for us to second-guess your
intentions biko, and you must at all times convey clarity
of purpose.
It is not possible (or I should say it is unbelievable)
that you can’t see that we are swimming in the river of
chaos.
It is funny because, those who feel insulated and
protected by the State will discover that they are mere
sitting ducks!
Just because say boys dey vex!
Putting Nigeria together will take a lot more than
childish, nonsensical propaganda.
It will take more than prayers, more than just being a
good guy.
Being good is important but not as important as
being a no-nonsense ass-kicker; person wey no send,
because many things don scatter.
I don’t care if you’re trying to convert all of us to
Islam, I don’t care if everyone in your cabinet is your in-
law, brother, sister, tribesman, cook, steward or even
your MaiGuard.
On behalf of all the frustrated youths in this country,
all we need is a leader who can fix things, not the one
that comes with excuses.
A leader who is not afraid to admit that he has no
clue to certain matters but willing to learn spot on and
hands on.
A leader who can’t be comfortable with praise
singers.
A leader who is troubled by the cry of poverty-ridden
Nigerians.
A leader who can raise our hope once again in our
battered country.
A leader who can make us start believing in our
Nigeria again.
Oga Presido, do sometin o, boys are vexing!
