It is time to start shopping for the most moderate of the Fulanis come 2019 to be president. Activities of a particular region makes this imperative. To them, everyone else in Nigeria is terrible except them. That feeling of sole SAINT, MARTYR, VICTIM and OPPRESSED has made any talk of unity and projections and permutation of Peter Obi or Ayo Fayose or Osinbajo or Fashola or Donald Duke a loss already. All the talk of looking for a Christian Midbelter etc is in vain.

Obviously, their VICTIM mentality so blinds that it will never allow them see the whole chessboard. If it was one of them that picked Jonathan as Obasanjo did and if it was them who formed SAVE NIGERIA GROUP and risked life and limb to hand Jonathan presidency, Jonathan and south south would not have drunk water and dropped cup.

The funny truth is that only Delta State gave Jonathan a vote differential that the five states of this region could not. But no one will hear word. As surely as most stood online to support, the HARSHEST CRITICS of Jonathan still came from this group. But we dare not talk because they “supported Jonathan”

Jonathan has done his part. In doing his part, he made one of them the most powerful military man in the country, a position they never attained before. He made an international airport,and above all, his Chief of staff, the person that brought the contract papers to Jonathan to sign and who chose who sees Jonathan and who does not was one of their. Their businesses flourished. Brilliance of the Innosons was rewarded. One of them headed the stock market. And should we agree that anyone who bears their tribal names is one of them, the economy and CBN was handed to them to manage as well. The Ifeanyi Ubahs as started by Obasanjo continued to have a position of power and finance. If GEJ had won,perhaps 2nd Niger Bridge would be a reality, maybe not. But it became front and center.

But today, none of it matters anymore. HE IS WEAK. Same people that will not tolerate any negative reference to Ojukwu will not leave ex leaders to pasture in peace.

So today, as their newfound Moses is raised as a beacon with chants of “HOLY HOLY HOLY SAVIOUR SAVIOUR”, as many insist they will not register, as they continue to make the bridge between Yorubas and Mid belt and Niger Delta and them to be built, the smartest and best thing to do is to look closely Tambuwal or Saraki and stand behind them to defeat El Rufai and Kwankwaso and other such like bigots.

And I understand it. Everything is in DNA sometimes. There is a reason they do not have Kings. Maybe it is just not in them to play TOGETHERNESS. Maybe they do not know to be TOGETHER, sometimes you let some things go. It is not everytime you bare FANGS as you will see many of them bare now.

My pain is just Peter Obi whose leadership and investment skill was tailor-made for this generation of Nigeria. All the closeness to Fayose and GEJ and Mimiko by him is in vain. Our best will not stand a chance because a people cannot just play TEAM with their neighbours. ONLY THEM ARE VICTIMS. Everybody Hates Chris.
