INFERNO IN ASO VILLA.

Although some of us were intransigent when we made up our mind not to by what ever reasons give out our rights of vote just because we need to have a leader in our country but rather, we were willing to do anything possible with the last breath of our soul to see a free flow of democracy transforming into a new magnificent brain of ideas with total submission to the rules of law and justice under merit in our one and only beloved country called Nigeria. But after a second confrontation was accorded us by some vantage political big fish back home with an understanding that a country that is divided against it-selves can never stand, only then we made up our mind to give it a try. On that grand of understanding, we decided to pull back our unlimited venom to allow our country to be creamed with a locally manufactured Political lotion bought from the Military-political store because to many of us what is more important is to waist no time to allowing a Presidential arrangement of our natural endowments to be used to positively affect the standard of living of the Nigeria people but more importantly to put an end to any breeding ground for cruel dictators and general decline. 
 
Unfortunately, almost eight whole years after that interception it appears to many of us  that once again if not protected by Almighty God our country will go deep down more to an intractable position she had never been in any time in history. Death and destruction are never satisfied and so are the eyes of some men and deep down in us as civilized Nigerians leaving as kings and queens outside our native land and culture we know for sure those ungrateful ones who are very close to political destruction. We have no other place to call our country and only for this reason Nigeria visional were able to read to understand that the current political fatality will crate a preposterous and excruciating political audience to the international community if we should allow those appalling protagonist bake our cake. We as a democratic people of the federal republic of Nigeria must stop at nothing to making sure we harness this distressed Political situation that is currently bringing shame to our country with any discipline correction machine home and abroad.   
 
Even if the vice President of the federal republic of Nigeria Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is not loyal to his boss President Olusegun Obasanjo, is it a prelude for Mr. President to forget his position as the master of the people to engage himself with an open confrontation with his Deputy? Both of them have created a demean atmosphere for themselves. Mr. President should have honored the only discipline diplomatic court approach to resolve this political bitter aroma at list for the interest of the integrity of the general Nigeria people. Honestly speaking the current Political war between the country number one and number two man is purely political and needs to be address politically by Politicians of the party broad of trustees in their political secretariat. When their Political romance started in 1999 it was like the beginning of a new day brake for both of them, but to many of us who knew fully well the implication of the intermarriage of a military-politician and a civilian politician, only prayed that if their should be a fight in the presidential villa which we were optimistic would happened around the corner some day, then it should be without the usage of physical pouches and heading so as not to crate an alibi  for the military to brake the bound of peaceful democratic atmosphere in the country. As a big, dynamic and complicating country it was generally agreed that the due of Olusegun Obasanjo and Atiku Abubakar was the best as at the time they were sworn into office as President and Vice President respectively.  But today no matter who claim to be innocent between the both of them one thing is sure, how many people can you explain to? Just look at the ways they are now unfolding what they did in the secret to the open when no one is on their tails. Let a powerful machine of insurrection arise to be on their tails and let’s see if the world will not hear more of these unimpressive stories.
 
What is happening today between the President and the vice President of the country goes as far as to show Nigerians and the world how arrogant their Political leaders or advisers are. Imagine the embarrassing day to day disdainful word to word battle between the so called Obasanjo special assistance and Atiku Campaign Organization with aegis from the President and the Vice President respectively. The most unfortunate part of this regretted game is that none of them will come out openly to tell Nigerians the truth, they send their representative to address serious matter that have the capacity of splitting the country into two. What is their love and vision for the country if I may ask?  Or do Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar thought that they are more important then the unity and peace of the country? It is better for them to lose their Political position than for Nigeria to be divided.  We must as a people of the federal republic of Nigeria take the bull by the horn to send a signer across to who ever think he is a bull that as a united and civilized people with one voice the biggest bull in the jungle can not take us for a ride.
 
I was told by some political experts in London some time ago that the political chaos between the country two pilots is attributed to greed and the zeal to stay in power. I agree with them because if Atiku is satisfy with his position as number two man of the country then this inconsequential drama will not arise and on the other hand, if Obasanjo was wholeheartedly willing to relinquish his office by 2007 as was originally arranged by the democratic time table of the federal Republic of Nigeria, this political inferno he found himself now would have been design to be a paradise for him. Now we can clearly see that once a soldier is always a soldier and I think this is the only reasons diplomatic matter is being treated the military ways.
 
Most of the noise about corruption being paraded now by Mr. President and Mr. vice President against each others happen some few years back but they kept it to themselves, So ask yourself why are they saying it now? They failed to make an alarm as a patriotic Nigerian before now. This you will agree with me was when their going was good and I wasn’t there neither were you there so they should keep quite and wait as we propel Nigeria next president without fear of victimization and beside, this whole episodes is after thought and according to law it has no base to stand.
 
On the other hand, what is the people’s Democratic Party (P.D.P) position about this whole scenario? Why did they fail to put an end to this unnecessary garrulous confrontation between the country two giants? Why have they lost their political credibility as a party that is supposed to be bigger then the due of Obasanjo and Atiku put together? This world they say is a very big place, you never can say much about a man until he has power.
 
The political understanding of President Olusegun Obasanjo towards the next President of the federal republic of Nigeria is very wrong. He forgot to understand that if he is truly a politician and if Nigeria will conduct a free and fair election as we are hoping to have, he can not single-handedly hand-picked who becomes the next president of Nigeria. This decision is for Nigerians home and abroad to make base on nothing but on merits. Even in a civilized world like America , President George W. Bush can not even influence the presidential candidacy of the Republican Party because he is a president. This decision is for the leaders of the party to make with respect to who merits it, after which the American people have the responsibility to decide who will be the next American President.
 
We as vantage people of a great country Nigeria must come out openly to tell each other the truth about the political situation of our country. The voice of the people is the voice of GOD and so what you are reading now is the voice of the majority of the honest and patriotic civilized Nigerians living in the Diaspora.
 
Please pass this peace of message to your friends because no matter how they try to project their elicit political idiosyncrasy on us, we as a people of the federal republic of Nigerians home and abroad is prepared to produce a President after transparent scrutiny having providence as a friend to represent us home and abroad with a political sophisticated microscope in line with the characteristics of a real President, the real black president our one and only country Nigeria has never had. Only then do we rest as we proceed to teach our children that respect for democracy is the order of the day, a position which they will transfer also to the next generation after them. But not until this is done at the right time which is now we can not be too secured of a true democratic principle coated with true love and respect for the opinion of the people.
 
May God Bless and give you the strength to fight along with us, dieing as a hero is better then dieing like a coward. Nigeria is our home and we shall come down to Nigeria from any were we are in the world to make that desire of our vision 2007 comes true. This is a promise God will give to every God fearing people because it is the only medicine our country need from us. God bless you.
