ATIKU: OBASANJO IS A BIG FRAUD.

ICHEOKU says Aremu Matthew Kikiola Olusegun Obasanjo is the biggest fraud to ever come out of the continental Africa and it shows in everything he touches. The foxy pretentiousness and manipulative ingenuity which Obasanjo frequently deploys against an indolent Nigerian polity, in order to achieve any given objective is simply legendary; and as adroit as only befits a voodoo witch doctor. Remember, it was the same Olusegun Obasanjo, as then Head of State, who once advocated for juju to be deployed to South Africa and used as a weapon to defeat the then South Africa apartheid government. So, his ICHEOKU's given moniker, Ota Deity, is quite aptly befitting and rightly earned as well. 

Speaking of an intelligent man who really wants what is best for Nigerians and he was instrumental to the annulment of MKO Abiola's June 12th election victory, claiming that Abiola was not the Messiah who Nigerians clamored for. That he was a party to cover up of the murder of MKO Abiola, especially the dousing of the protest which erupted as a result, is also a consequential fact. This guy Olusegun Obasanjo has been in power in Nigeria since 1970, first as Chief of Army Staff and later in 1976 as Head of State. When he sabotaged Obafemi Awolowo nearly assured presidency and used Richard Akinjide to manufacture the 12 2/3rd victory for Shehu Shagari, Nigerians allowed him to have his way. Again in 1999, the same Obasanjo was rewarded for sabotaging Abiola's election victory by being made the president of Nigeria and he was in power until 2008. 

Query, if Olusegun Obasanjo stayed this long in power and Nigeria remained so bedeviled, is it not a safe argument to make that Obasanjo was the sole architect of Nigeria's rot and decay?  Ever asked yourself or wondered who actually contributed most to or rather is the reason for the decay and rot that became Nigeria if not the Ota Deity. Yet, this fella is who Nigerians are still listening to and tolerating and allowing to direct their affairs and in own their land. It also never mattered to these knuckleheads that this man was sleeping with his son's wife, his daughter in-law. It is also highly instructive that Olusegun Obasanjo did not win the MO Ibrahim African Leadership Award for excellence because of his unquantifiable corruption. A telling tale repudiation of a braggadocious decrepitude, yet this fellow is who Nigerians are listening to for direction on the way forward of their country. 

ICHEOKU says for what? Little wonder the country is mired in the mud where it is or what does an Obasanjo have to offer to Nigeria other than grieve and mischief; and he is doling them out in huge portions.

ICHEOKU says was somewhere over the week and after necessary introductions, one mid aged entrepreneur cleared his voice in the manner which attention is drawn to a person. He asked ICHEOKU how Nigerians could continuously allow the rot in their country to go on without fighting back. This guy is French from Monaco and alluded to the violent crash going on in Paris just because the French people got tired of an unreasonable fuel price increase. Continuing, he said that the capacity of Nigerians to stoically bear burden is simply inexplicable, as no people on the entire planet earth can withstand the type of inhumanity visited on the average Nigerian daily, without losing their minds. 

He went on to enumerate all the deficiencies and lack of infrastructural amenities in Nigeria, stating that despite all these, the people are always hoping that some day everything will be alright. He then pointedly asked ICHEOKU, whether Nigerians actually know the day when everything will become okay in their country, especially without Nigerians doing the heavy lifting necessarily required to make things okay and fighting for them as well as sacrificing for them, if need be. This guy said he lived in Nigeria in the 1990s and knows exactly what the living conditions then was all about and still pays monitoring attention developments in Nigeria, especially within the last few years; mentioning the mystery Sudanese in Aso Rock and how laughable the conspiracy theory is. He also said he enjoyed ewedu soup and amala as well as jolof rice and liked Gulder beer too.

He rounded off the inquisition by pointing to the endorsement of Abubakar Atiku by  Olusegun Obasanjo, wondering how anybody in the world would ever again believe a Nigerian after what Obasanjo did. According to him, why would anyone still believe what a Nigerian said, when their former president could go back on his words and endorsed for president, a man he had previously described as being too corrupt; and who he accused of stealing billions of Nigeria's money and followed it up by swearing that it is over his dead body that Atiku will ever be president of Nigeria. Everyone among the gathered, now took a keener interest, as they sought to know more about the place of birth of their African friend. 

ICHEOKU frolicked this much to highlight the damage which Olusegun Obasanjo has done to Nigeria's image with his irreconcilable and inexplicable endorsement of Abubakar Atiku, especially after previously leveling such scathing and unflattering accusations, including some which bothered on pure banditry and robbery of the Nigeria's coffers. 

Just ask yourself what could make such an old 90 year old grandfather, to so treacherously renege on his sworn oath and you wonder at what price was his sudden somersault purchased. Possibly, the notoriously corrupt Abubakar Atiku made Obasanjo an offer he could not refuse and he took the poison pill; and is now pushing for the presidency of a man who is not fit for merchantability - the purpose for which Obasanjo want him sold to Nigerian electorates. How could any rational Nigeria reconcile the two Obasanjo's polar opposite positions of Obasanjo concerning a man who has become the notorious face of corruption in Nigeria. ICHEOKU says it is either Olusegun Obasanjo was lying then when he accused Atiku of all manners of unprintable crimes or Olusegun Obasanjo is lying now by vouching that the same brigand suddenly has been sanctified as a good choice for Nigeria's presidency. 

Therefore, the Ota Deity cannot be allowed to have it both ways or use Nigerians once again for his practiced forked-tongue speaking, and must be held accountable for speaking from both sides of his mouth. Why would any sane Nigerian still believe Olusegun  Obasanjo, who once said in his written book, My Watch, at page 39, that Abubakar Atiku stole so much from the Nigeria's coffers which could feed millions of Nigerians for several decades, but now turned around to urge victims of this Atiku's huge heist, to put the same bandit who stole from them in charge of their country and treasures. Obasanjo also selectively absolved himself of any negligence in not watching Atiku as he made a mince meat of Nigeria's treasury. 

So much for his watching and you wonder whether Obasanjo was actually watching anything or was he merely a sleeping muruanya that Atiku stole this much under his nose. What impetus warranted Obasanjo's writing of a book titled under his watch when he was not watching at all, otherwise he would have caught Atiku with his hands in the jar and stopped him from stealing Nigerians blind. ICHEOKU says it will require the suspension of disbelief to accept Obasanjo's skewed logic that a rat could ever be reformed enough not to be tempted by dry fish and therefore eligible to be put in charge of an iron-basket filled with dry fish. How can a bank armed robber be asked to guard a bank's vault or even armored bullion vehicles. Can anybody ever asks a drunk to be in charge of a bar or employed in a brewery. 

ICHEOKU says if only Nigerians can focus their curiosity on this unholy marriage between Obasanjo and Atiku, and sincerely desire to unveil behind the reconciliation of this two formerly sworn enemies. it is only then that Nigerians will realize that their country is being shared and portioned out, on a promissory note by Abubakar Atiku, to the same vultures and jackals who kept Nigeria comatose all these decades and continuing till this day. 

Olusegun Obasanjo has now become the officially recognized face of 419 in Nigeria by reason of his trying to hoodwink Nigerians into buying into a reject which he too seriously warned them against. Olusegun Obasanjo has become the reason why the rest of the world does not trust Nigerians, because Nigerians' word don't mean a thing or much; and is  not always their bond. If Nigerians are deemed unreliable and cannot be trusted; and that handshakes does not mean a thing to them, how does Nigerians expect any foreign investor to be attracted to their hellhole, where people say one thing and mean the other; where people's yes, means no and their no, means yes. Who wants to operate in such environment of murkiness which confuses more than it is elucidates.

Majority of businesses in the world are conducted on reliability and credibility and the vouched vaulted veracity that you will keep your own side of the bargain. This understanding is usually sealed with a handshake; so could somebody please tell ICHEOKU which foreigner would acquiesce to conducting business in like manner with Nigerians, following what Olusegun Obasanjo did. If your word is not your bond, what else could you be if not a con artist, period. Why would anyone want to deal with Nigerians when their words doesn't mean a thing and they cannot be trusted to keep their words. Cry thy beloved country, as Nigeria is finished and cannot be made whole again. The greatest tragedy of it all is that Nigerians are not even aware of the damage which has befallen their country and they are oblivious of the sunken ship in which they are still pretentiously sailing. 

ICHEOKU's heart bleeds for motherland, admitted there is no magic wand to startle the hypnotized citizenry into squarely facing their responsibility, to help rescue their adrift country from these band of bandits, who plugged their proboscis into Nigeria's veins and are sucking the country dry like the vampire bats which they are. 

ICHEOKU says in the spirit of Hanukkah, which means to rededicate, can Nigerians learn to rededicate themselves to what is good for their country and rise up to stop these vagrants from always having their way with Nigerians as if the polity is a cheap Stormy Daniels type prostitute, who could be so easily had at any time, with or without lubrication. This perilous times in Nigeria calls for people to rise up and protect themselves, their country  and treasury from the impending locust invasion by resisting and preventing the Obasanjo and Atiku gang up from swarming the country's treasures. Only two bad people with extremely bad intentions would so suddenly temporarily make up just for the objective at hand; but only if Nigerians let them. It is SAD and it is an existential threat to Nigeria for Abubakar Atiku and Olusegun Obasanjo to be allowed back on the saddle of power in Nigeria. Please Nigerians,  SAY NO TO ATIKU; reject the latest gathering of vultures whose only motivation is to continuously stick it to Nigerians. Atiku, NOT GOOD FOR NIGERIA.
