Re: Now, I join OBJ to laugh

Yomi, contrary to the understanding of a lot of people, OBJ didn’t ask to be excused as a person. Said he: PDP and not himself should not join to welcome an ex-convict back home!

It beats my imagination as to why two of you, Vincent and yourself, should chose to dedicate your columns to ridicule and insult Obasanjo at a time we have less than thirty days before elections begin. You should be writing to educate the masses on how to be part of the process toward a free, fair, credible and violent free election instead wasting time talking about OBJ and a better-forgotten thanksgiving service. It’s a shame.

Yomi, OBJ knows that the elites of this country are not strong-willed. They are the ones that OBJ is laughing at. He knows they are in a position to challenge him but nobody has been able to do that. They have united to protect their ill-gotten wealth. So, who is celebrating criminality?

Ha! Ha! Well done!

Hello Yomi, OBJ’s condemnation of criminality is an afterthought and deceitful. The PDP had been rewarding criminality since the days of a particular serving Senator who won an election from prison. There are few men of honour and integrity in the PDP and OBJ is not among them!

Re: Take me to prison

Yomi, you want to go to prison? Pray hard about it. Before you return your children won’t recognize you again. How much do you have in your account to sustain you in prison? Besides, don’t you want warders to drive fine cars like other security outfits?

Greetings Oga Yomi, truly speaking this Bode George issue has been giving me sleepless night. I can’t just believe that a well-known convict could be so elevated to the level of national hero live in this country! I think the best thing for us to do now is to start apologizing to the family of Anini and co. These persons were executed for the stealing peanuts when compared to want some political criminals have stolen.

Yomi, your piece ”take me to prison” was, as usual, well crafted. But no mention was made of the front seat role of Bode George at the PDP rally in Lagos.

Hello Yomi, let me use this medium to welcome you back from your previous ‘halucinatory optimism’ concerning Nigeria. Our teachers were not only guilty of sermonising us on morals, ethics and virtues, our parents are too, ”absolutely guilty”. They will allways say, ‘ranti omo eni ti iwo nse’, ‘oruko rere san ju wura ohun fadaka’ and all other ”out- of- tune- with- present- day- Nigeria” moralistic pep talks. Did you see the coterie of security personnel around Bode Georgewhen he left the prison? SSS, Policemen, Civil defence and all climbing his jeep? The siren? Yomi, jo, ‘awon ole lo ni ijoba jare’. You can be sure of a presidential pardon very soon, he will then be appointed as COS to the president, he will be made Baba Ijo of the Anglican Cathedral Church, Marina. Check out the roll call at the reception too? ‘Show me your friend and I will tell the type of person you are.’Awon ole lo ni joba jo! There is no day Nigeria will generate more than the 800megawatts of electricity that we currently generate even though our needs are around 50,000megawatts and billions of dollars have been spent and have also been earmarked for future spending. All the dollars will end up in private pockets! ‘No be curse’, no so e be. Our roads will remain in the dilapidated way they are now despite FERMA and all the billion dollars already spent and earmarked for future spending. Our hospitals will remain the way they are. No bi curse, na reality.Corruption SHALL continue to STRIVE in Nigeria and corrupt people shall continue to be celebrated in our societies, no be curse, it is a reality! In retrospect, these are indeed sad times in this country. Everyday the country is ridiculed in the comity of Nations, we have been made laughing stocks all around the globe. Hard working, honest, upright Nigerians have been turned to ‘poor fools’, the reality confronting us everyday is that the ”thieves, looters” will always have their way. It is, indeed, sad.

Yomi, you shouldn’t be surprised that the PDP celebrated Bode George after his return from prison. They are all criminals and treasury looters.

Knucklehead; witty, ironical and distinctively entertaining as ever. Your piece ‘Take me to prison’ is downright marvelous. .

The party was a slap on the moral face of Nigerians and to think that it was held in a church!.May God forgive us all. Amen.

Bros, in as much as I tried to write an article on any burning national issues, you guys always capture my thought with your writings. As Olabode is busy celebrating his sojourn from university of life. I would gladly accept invitations from any criminal organizing thanksgiving.
