Dear Buharists,
I'm here to
sympathise with you in this your trying period. For over 3 years now, I have
watched you suffer in the most difficult situations trying to defend your bad
news of a president. The worst of it is that while you do so on empty stomachs,
some have become stupendously rich at your applause.
The son of a man who once
borrowed N21m to purchase presidential form can now afford a N45m playing toy.
But you who contributed to see him becoming the president can't even buy
textbooks for your wards in school. My love for humanity will not let me know these
things and not pity you.
As a lawyer, I
know what it is and how it feels to defend a bad case, especially when my
client keeps exposing the bad situation I try to cover up and making me look
empty headed. I also know as a lawyer that I have to keep doing my job no
matter how bad the situation is. But the law allows me to back out when my
conscience is being impeached , especially when I become aware that my client
never told me the truth in the matter I try to defend.
In your case,
I see you can't back out as it becomes obvious that you may be under a spell. I
have a strong feeling that Baba has taken your matter beyond the earth, hence
you cannot see even when we shout it that your brains might have been replaced
by the concoction probably exhumed from the grave of a wicked native doctor. It
would be heartless of me not to show understanding of these possible facts so
as to limit the weight I attach to your insults.
Your case is
likened to that of a deaf and blind man walking in the direction of a moving
trailer. You don't call him foolish; you try to rescue him because his ability
to see or hear the danger is zero. Now you understand why you are still on my
list.
The highest
level of your ignorance is calling everyone who points out the wrongs in this
government corrupt or PDP members. I know the concoction wouldn't let you see
that some of us have never been politicians or in any party. I know the
concoction lacks the potency to tell you that we don't need to be corrupt to
know that the market price of all commodities have tripled since Baba came on
board. Yeah, it can't tell you that since fuel price was hiked to N145 per
litre in the bid to remove subsidy, the actual amount still spend on subsidy is
far above what the PDP government spent on subsidy when fuel price was N87. Do
I blame you when I know you are under a spell? No!
You have
before you 2019, another opportunity to liberate yourselves. But you seem still
far from the knowledge of the realities on ground, even though you now lack words
to defend this failure of your supposed Messiah. Day after day, the realities
reflect even in your pockets.
My pain,
still, is that you are growing stronger bones in your gullibility, obviously
because you've stayed too long mirroring "lifelessness". You can't
stay too long perceiving faeces and not inherit the smell.
Accept my
sympathy. Trust me, when the spell is broken, you will be fine....
Or I should
say, if the spell is broken.
It's I, Itse
De, your "better-life" wailing friend.
