ATIKU, A NIGERIAN JACOB ZUMA.

ICHEOKU says ever noticed the uncanny resemblance and similitude between the  disgraced former South African President Jacob Zuma and the soon to also be disgraced corrupt and crooked polygamist Abubakar Atiku of Nigeria. ICHEOKU has been laboring for sometime now, to drum into the ears of the Atikulated vuvuzelas, trying to warn them that the Atiku brand is not good; and that he is as dangerous as Onitsha bridge-head manufactured drugs. But the hardship under the Dracula of Daura has blinded their eyes and deafened their ears. 

So, possessed by their maniacal zeal to send Buhari back to his 150 cows, they are headstrong and adamant; and barreling through to a certain head-on collision with a moving train. They are so mad at Buhari that they could care less even if it is a Lucifer that will provide his replacement. But tire, ICHEOKU must not; in trying to drum it home, with the allusion to the former South African President Jacob Zuma, whose term in office did not augur well for South Africans, admitted he personally made out like a bandit, leaving many South Africans holding the plate of want, need, hunger, thirst and hopelessness. 

Atiku and Zuma are about the same age, 74 years old. Atiku and Zuma are both certificate-less illiterates. Atiku and Zuma are both undisciplined womanizing polygamists. Atiku and Zuma are obstinate , averse to advise, impervious to correction and resistant to wise counsel. Atiku and Zuma are about the same height, gait, physique and body type. Atiku and Zuma are both fathers to countless children, from both those women they married as well as many others from countless number of mistresses, many of who are incognito and paid top money to keep the affairs secret, as kept women. Atiku and Zuma are unapologetically two fantastically corrupt people. 

It is on record that Zuma once spent $20 million USD just to renovate his private country home when millions of South Africans are still living in shanty towns; and you wonder how much exactly was this home's original worth, before being renovated. Atiku's commandeering of NITEL, as well as so many other Nigerians' common asset, under the ruse of privatization, is also of public knowledge. The disaster recorded in South Africa under Jacob Zuma is what Nigerians are about to face in Nigeria, if Abubakar Atiku is not stopped. But it is not yet too late as the train can still be stopped before it departs, while it is still at the station. 

ICHEOKU says the similarities between Abubakar Atiku and Jacob Zuma are so much that the two might as well pass for two Siamese twins, born of the same mother, but who were separated at birth, one gifted to South Africa, while the other was retained in Adamawa State. If in doubt, lay their pictures side by side and see for yourself. Jacob Zuma did not succeed because he was unprepared, uneducated, too distracted by too many wives and too many concubines; and hardly takes advise nor listens to anyone. A picture perfect description of his half brother in Nigeria, Abubakar Atiku, who is trying to use the opportunity of a near total disillusionment of Nigerians against Buhari, to smuggle himself into Aso Rock. 

It is also on record that the late former President Nelson Mandela, understandably, never wanted Jacob Zuma to ever become president and publicly voiced his displeasure of him and his life of debauchery. A lifestyle which he shares with his half brother, the Nigerian Jacob Zuma, aka Abubakar Atiku. However, unlike the Ota Deity, who later licked up his vomit by going back to endorse a man he once swore that it will be over his dead body that he becomes president, Nelson Mandela was resolute until death. Mandela refused to withdraw his admonition nor forgave Zuma; and never recanted his chastisement, despite all the entreaties, championed by Jacob Zuma, who was desperately seeking the validation and forgiveness of the leader Mandibo. Eventually Mandela passed away and Zuma managed to sneak himself into Mahlamba Ndlopfu, Gauteng Pretoria. Abubakar Atiku is also trying to use the same ploy, admitted Obasanjo is still alive and supposedly has forgiven him. 

However, Nigerians are the ones who will be at the receiving end in the woodshed, shocked to their bone marrows of what will befall them, in the unfortunate event Atiku ever pulls if off. But ICHEOKU is not shaken, fully aware that it will be easier for Olusegun Obasanjo to do another term in Aso Rock than for Atiku to move in there as an elected president of Nigeria. But be that as it may, what you sow is what you reap and if you think Abubakar Atiku is going to wrought miracles or magically solve all the myriads of problems militating against Nigeria, then you need to have your head reexamined for logicality. 

At best, what happened in South Africa under Jacob Zuma will exactly be replicated in Nigeria, should Atiku ever clinches the presidency. First he is too lousy as a person and will be very weak in prosecuting corruption, because every attempt he makes to point at corrupt individuals, will have three of his fingers pointing right back at him. Every attempt he makes to find corruption using the mirror, will have the face of corruption staring back at him. Anyway, the current effort is no longer to wean you off your Atikulated hallucinogens; but, heeding the advise of Professor Wole Soyinka, that records be kept for posterity. Salute
