The consequence of justified injustice

By Oledinma Onyesarah … .

In ‘Orika’ kingdom we have an adage that says: ‘if a hunter sends his dog to fight other dogs, when the fight becomes fierce the hunter’s dog would bite the hunter.

In August 2011, the Nigerian Boko Haram Islamist organisation struck with their merciless bombings at the United Nations headquarters and a suburb of Abuja with over 20 folks killed.

Then, to Jonathan’s government it was strange, least expected and highly flabbergasting to his regime because they knew little or nothing about ‘organised sabotage’

But to the opposition APC party, it became a tested, trusted, useful and successful weapon to weaken, overrun and ground the regime of enemy leader (Jonathan) hence, they ignored the voice of reason but progressed in their wickedness not minding the irredeemable damages, loss of lives and properties.

Eventually, they had their ways to the mantle of leadership on “change” mantra while most ‘mumu’ and blind followers chanted their destinies to oblivion.

No sooner the news of Boko Haram hostility of Abuja bombing filtered in from Abuja than heaven got loosed with unprintable derogatory languages, championed by the southwest APC hawks freely unleashed on the person of President Jonathan.

They abused him and ran their dirty mouths on the gentleman.

DEBACLE

Just last week Friday, specifically 02/10/2015, in the suburb of Abuja, the daredevil and indomitable Boko Haram vampires came inside the enclave of the ex-General, Muhammad Buhari and made nonsense of all the boasts and tall order given to the Nigerian military to exterminate anything with the colouration of Boko Haram on or before December 2015. Gosh! What a mirage!

Be it as it may, my anger got kindled not only on the ‘Old horse’ (Mr. President), but also on these conscienceless sycophants who called for Jonathan’s head when this kind of attack was first witnessed during his regime, and how suddenly they developed incurable mouth cancer to speak -out and condemn the insensitive cum inactiveness of their hero.

Would I be surprised if they come up with their coded language, “let us be patience with the man, it is for our good”
