THE GRAPE IS NOW SOUR FOR THE LOSERS AND THEIR APOLOGISTS!

Utopia, an imagined perfect place in which righteousness existed or is exhibited in governance and in all the affairs of man is yet to be discovered or actualized on planet Earth and it would therefore be foolhardy for anyone to expect a perfect human being or a perfect government in all dispensations of the existing global village. A perfect State will produce a people of pure moral attitudes and consciousness, righteous behavioural patterns and attitudes, impeccable character of honesty in all assignments, absolute dedication, truthfulness, faithfulness and total commitment to duties in public and private lives, God-fearing citizens, workers and families who needed no oversight or supervision in their day-to-day chores and above all, crime-free societies, neighbourhoods, communities and countries! The United States of America, which stands shoulder high above other countries of the universe as the best democracy still falls short of being referred to as Utopia in view of the fallibilities of men and women in government and also among the governed but the existence of an IDEAL state in which the activities of man – political, social or economic – could be predicated on basic principles of sound practice of the RULE OF LAW and SOCIAL JUSTICE, without exception or immunity should not be ruled out! Nigeria’s new government of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had been under fire from all people who believed that President Buhari’s pedigree of a Spartan and prudent lifestyle should rub off and produce an immediate perfect administration which will wipe off the rot and decadence that have been witnessed in the past 16 years of selfish and greedy politicians who abandoned their oath of office for filthy lucre, forgetting that the doctrine of CHANGE would take a gradual process!
The furore that greeted the partial release of the Ministerial List by government through the Senate on Tuesday 6 October 2015, mostly by contracted and sponsored antagonists bombarded the political turf like the angry sea wave agitated by a roaring stormy weather with a devastating and total condemnation of the 21-member nominee without exception! Having pondered to listen and constructively reviewed the agitated persons and their grouses against nominees which some described as old wine in new wine bottles who had dubious and criminal antecedents; and were all old citizens who had been re-cycled for too long while some others still expressed disappointment that their four-month vigil of expectation was dashed to pieces with such an awful assemblage of people of disrepute, we arrived at this unambiguous conclusion that, without the right perception or understanding, the uneducated the disorientated, the misguided and the spiritually blind and vision impaired would keep crying “wolf” where none existed! Therefore, the “WORLD SIGHT DAY” (WSD), which was celebrated on Thursday, 8 October 2015, could not have been better timed because both the physically and the spiritually vision impaired become the endangered species when it comes to truthful exposition and analysis of social, political and economic issues in any given environment, situations and circumstances of governance! Though the partial list in question, of divinely chosen Change Ministers, who would be screened by Senate at plenary according to the sacred provisions of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 Constitution had thrown up patriotic, diligent, trusted and competent Nigerian politicians/professionals who had proved their mettle in governance and in the administration of this nation in various capacities, yet the sight impaired would be blind to the qualities of those dedicated and patriotic Nigerians who had been meticulously chosen under the guidance of the Holy Spirit! While we maintain the fact that there is nothing like perfection in the human nature or character, we believe that the perfect God, through impartation could perfect the activities and capabilities of His creations according to His purposive will.

Let us check out the pedigrees and antecedents of some this first group, of Federal Ministers:
Chris Ngige (Anambra); was governor of Anambra State and later a distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He performed creditably according to human standards. Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti); former governor of Ekiti State who was diligent and very meticulous in governance as he, during his one term tenure, touched lives of the masses. He was meek and gentle to the core. Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers); was two-term governor of Rivers State who left indelible marks majorly in areas of education and health sectors. He was a remarkable administrator who discharged his functions creditably in spite of the array of protests against his nomination. Babatunde Fashola (Lagos); had a two-term stint as governor of Lagos State. He was a reference point in good and creditable governance all over the country. He remained impeccable in spite of petitions against his nomination by Mr. President. Aisha Al Hassan (Taraba); former senator and recently APC governorship candidate in the 2015 general elections is credible and ready to serve the nation in honesty. Ogbonaya Onu (Ebonyi); former governor of the old Abia State and Chairman of the defunct ANPP which collapsed to form the APC. A distinguished politician and statesman of no mean standing! Kemi Adeosun (Ogun); a former Commissioner of Finance in Ogun State. Was reported to have been distinguished and had performed creditably. Since her nomination, petitions have poured in an avalanche against her! Ibe Kachikwu (Delta); presently Chief Executive Officer of NNPC and who within a very short time of appointment had distinguished himself by ensuring that petroleum products –petro l and kerosene are available all over the country at official pump price - a feat no one ever achieved!

We need to re-emphasize for the umpteenth time that President Buhari was not an emergency Head of State but a product of God’s arrangement to purge Nigeria of all rot and filth of corruption that have become a second nature of many Nigerians! The World Sight Day (WSD) was dedicated to create the much-needed awareness at this most opportune time to avoid physical vision impairment which according to the World Health Organization (WHO), has affected about 80% of the world’s 45 million blind people of which 90% are domiciled in developing countries – including Nigeria! Our concern is that – would it be expeditious for the detractors of the Change government to be both physically and spiritually vision impaired at this age and time when God-fearing persons are thanking and giving glory to Him for putting a righteous government together for this nation that almost went underground with the miry clay of terrible and unmitigated corruption of 16 uninterrupted administrations of consecutive Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), governments -1999-2015! Should any member of the disgraced past administrations be bold to condemn divinely-chosen Nigerians who are determined to frontally confront and address the issues of insecurity and endemic corruption which are the fall outs and ripple effects of their bad governments of recent past if they are not both physically and spiritually vision impaired? Apart from the ministerial list, these contracted do-gooders have virtually criticized every move of Mr. President in the last FOUR months since his investiture on 29 May, 2015! Check out the following list: They said that the inaugural speech lacked economic direction! The International and overseas diplomatic trips to solicit co-operation on insecurity created by Boko Haram terrorists were unnecessary; he should have stayed home to solve the problems! His appreciation tours to neighbouring West African countries of Chad, Niger, Cameroon, Benin Republics which militarily assisted to defend the territorial integrity of Nigeria, was waste of meagre public funds! The G7 meeting in Germany was a waste of precious time! The United States visit at the invitation of President Obama would not yield any meaningful results. Choice of presidential advisers was myopic and one-sided. Change of Armed Forces commanding officers was dismissed as a Northern agenda. Financial bail-out to indebted States who had arrears of worker salaries to settle was also condemned as an undiplomatic move which would deplete foreign reserves. The 55 Anniversary address by Mr President to the nation on 1st October, 2015, was also condemned for being without focus on economic blue print and policy direction etc, etc! It is common knowledge that it is easier to destroy than to build; but all well-meaning and patriotic Nigerians must rally round this new administration to rebuild the nation from the ashes of the failures of those detractors who were part and parcel of all the failed governments. It does not matter whether the President’s cabinet is made up of old or young persons or the mixture of both, the important thing is that the President is comfortable working with his team. President Obama who is 54 years old has a cabinet full of elderly men and women and he is getting wonderful results from them even in his second term in office! No one has the moral right to disqualify (not even the Senate) any of the nominee in the partial ministerial list and other lists that would pass through the Red Chambers because, THE POT CANNOT CALL THE KETTLE BLACK! President Buhari should be left to work with his divinely chosen team and win the battle over insecurity and the endemic corruption left behind by the old administrations! His detractors are not speaking on behalf of the downtrodden whom Buhari represents but their PIPERS who contracted them to create unnecessary confusion in the polity. They must be resisted, isolated, annihilated and completely flushed out from the United States of Nigeria. (USN). Patriotic Nigerians must rise with one voice to reject poverty and embrace abundance; reject sickness and diseases for good life and good health; lack of illiteracy for quality education at all levels and be ready to carry out oversight on all governments of the three to ensure the fulfilment of the social contracts with the people!
The following conversation was overheard in an orchard between two birds; please read, digest and be wise: Said the Robin to the Sparrow: “I should really like to know why these anxious human beings rush about and worry so?” Said the Sparrow to the Robin: “Friend, I think that it must be that they have no Heavenly Father such as cares for you and me.”
