Dear Aishat Muhammad Buhari by Usman Rayyanu Dabai


Dear Aishat Muhammad Buhari,

Are you telling us the zoo analogy remains the true picture of Nigeria ?

When Shehu Sani wrote that comment, my only response to it was that he has written in deep innuendos. Then Madam responded, confirming my worries.

Well, One significant tribe of Nigerians that derailed the government of President Jonathan then was the army of sycophants around and far from him.

Any step he took, whether major or minor, positive or negative, he was always being showered with praises that were out of this world. He was simply their messiah. He could do no wrong.
Of course President Jonathan got carried away. He thought he was actually building a virile nation. The sycophants failed him. He too failed himself for failing to separate reality from sycophancy.
Most leaders get derailed by sycophants and praise singers.

In a society where the leadership class is alleged to be populated and hijacked by Hyenas and Jackals........ does such revelation from very highly placed quarters (that should be in the know), not validate in part, and also reinforces the reference made by some that the country is a zoo? What an insult
 
Of all animals on earth,we are under the control of a leadership whose characters are captured by some of the most dishonourable species in the animal kingdom; Hyenas and Jackals?
Not even majestic Lions,elusive Leopards or princely Tigers?
Have you ever sat down to watch The Savage Kingdom on National Geographic Wild?

Oh my God. ...
Hyenas and Jackals do not leave any living trail behind. Even the grass that had the misfortune of being stained by the blood of their victims are chopped off for daring to interfere. These class of animals do not allow their victims the dignity of death before devouring them. They commence tearing their victims while they're still alive, giving them the opportunity to watch the horror of being dismembered alive.

When you take a cursory look at Nigeria, you wouldn't argue with such description that Hyenas and Jackals have been running the show.
Savagery in its worst form.
And where are the citizenry located in such a vicious circle of dog eat dog?
I am just asking. .....

BOOK EXCERPT: The Farmhouse by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren

The Farmhouse  by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren Chapter One The Family `Once upon a time in the old town of Gid, an old farmer called Erasmus had a horse and a son. The boy’s name was Jason, and the horse was Francis. They lived in a farmhouse, and Francis took them everywhere they went. The farmer had no wife. She died after Jason was born. Erasmus vowed never to remarry and had remained a widower ever since. Taking care of Jason and Francis alone was never easy, but the farmer promised his late wife on her deathbed that he was going to raise Jason into a fine man. One sad morning, the cockerel said it was dawn. The disturbance woke Jason. The boy stormed out of sleep. He removed the blanket and rolled out of bed. He went to the window and peered out. The weather was clear, and the boughs of trees bowed and danced to the sweet movement of the morning breeze. Jason liked the morning, and then he carried himself to the sitting room, where his father was on his knees saying his morning prayers....

From the novel entitled, "Beyond Imagination" by Oladele Dada.

 Oladele Dada. It was dawn. The chilly dust-laden wind formed dense fog on the road. The rocky hills and the tall trees made Ajewole a beautiful town. The birds sang aloud, and clanging of stainless dishes in the neighbourhood suggested human activity was at its peak. Humans had begun to move to their various destinations. Adunni had trouble with child bearing and her husband was worried. Then she booked an appointment with her doctor. After several tests, the doctor suggested the couple be patient and that she will surely get pregnant. Not long after, Adunni was pregnant. After several months, Adunni was delivered of a boy. The women in her neighbourhood, alongside the children, sang and danced to her home to celebrate with her. Her husband, Fredrick Olagbade, thanked the Lord and named the boy Juwon.     As Juwon grew, his mother had another child whose name was Olakitan. Juwon was intelligent and his parents were struggling to make ends meet. As poverty st...

NEW RELEASE: Those Ghostly Victorians by Annette Siketa

  Those Ghostly Victorians by Annette Siketa ABOUT THE BOOK At its zenith, the belief in ghosts in the Victorian era bordered on the hysterical. From stately homes to deserted wells, no dwelling was complete without a resident ghost. Halls and mansions and even the odd palace or two, spawned a multitude of family legends, many of which still persist. Many people claimed to have direct contact with a ghost through an object such as a ouija board or a pen, the latter collectively known as 'spiritual writing'. For example, a secretary allegedly continued to take dictation from his employer long after the latter was dead. Whether it was through books, plays, or supposedly true stories, the influence of the supernatural was profound. And it is not difficult to understand why, especially in the 'lower class', the majority of whom were uneducated. With nothing but drabness and poverty on the horizon, events such as a windy night or a violent storm were likely to set the ima...
