My president,
I bare
my heart out in this letter with great respect and humility.
Often
times I wonder if you read any of my open letters. However, I write this open
letter so fellow Nigerians will understand the ache in my heart.
I was
about 17yrs during the Nigerian civil war. My youth was scandalized, and since
then, I have carried a big scar in my heart. All I saw around me then was
blood, death, and hunger. That war, which could have been avoided, was a
collateral damage for Easterners. Over Three million people died – when it
could have been resolved on a conference table.
Mr
President Sir,
Most
Nigerians are hopeless, helpless, fearful, aggrieved and have been brutalized
by poverty created by the status quo to terrorize my people.
When
you came on board, I had hoped that yours would be a government that would
assist the ordinary people; a government that will turn round the economy and
put a smile on the faces of Nigerians.
No, I
don’t blame you for the woes that have befallen us, but, truth be told, you have
so far spent too much time passing the buck than actually serving the people
you struggled to lead. Two years is enough for us to start feeling like
something will happen. I can’t believe that as hard and as many times as you
applied for this job and you finally got it, this is the best you can do? Haba,
Baba!
Now you
can see the disadvantage of surrounding yourself with incompetent people.
I
remember it was your wife who first cried out, warned us that you have been
hijacked by hyenas, jackals, and very suspicious people who don’t really care
about Nigeria or you.
Sir, as
a father, please do something to calm down this rising tension.
As a
father, it is very wrong to show your children that you have a favourite. Right
now, it is clear that we are in a big mess. And sometimes I wonder
if you understand how difficult it is for the masses to cope. People even from
your village have complained to us (OurMumuDonDo movement); From Sokoto to
Owerri, Benue to Delta, hunger is everywhere, young people are committing
suicide; yet legislators and executives still maintain their obnoxious
lifestyle.
There
is so much I want to say as a very frustrated Nigerian, but for now what’s
uppermost in my heart is to plead with you to intervene in this “Operation
Python Dance”. Biko Baba, you should be committed to dousing tensions and
promoting peace and unity.
In as
much as I am aware that the Federal Government is concerned about curbing
divisive messages and inordinate agitations within the country, I believe it
should be more concerned about safeguarding the lives and properties of all
Nigerians in any part of the country.
It is
also important to note that though recanted, the October 1 ultimatum issued by
some misguided northern youths to the Igbos in the north remains weighty in the
minds of many and the atmosphere is hypersensitive to any mishap that could
foment such inter-ethnic wahala.
Sir,
suffering Nigerians are begging you to quell this tension than steaming up the
flames of enmity and discord within the country by using force on harmless
citizens.
During
the Resume or Resign peaceful protests, Baba, you listened, and that’s why you
came back.
On
behalf of all frustrated, hopeless, unsafe, hungry Nigerians I beg you, hear
our prayer. As a father, show some compassion and give us hope that this too
shall pass away.
I am
proud to say that I’m discovering exceptional youths who are inflamed by love
of fatherland, angered at the rape of our dignity and prosperity, determined to
rise up and hold one another, to march down and uphold the dignity and
prosperity of all Nigerians.
Baba,
make Naija no spoil for your hand O!!!!!!
God
Bless Nigeria.
Best
regards
