Icheoku once again reiterates that the six months Mubarak is asking for is reasonable and that Mubarak should be accommodated with it instead of the long-drawn rough road those protesters are clamoring to travel. In our oped of day before, we called out Wael Ghonim as overreaching himself when he invited the Mubarak regime to kill him while insisting that Mubarak must go and go NOW! Icheoku asks, now that Ghonim has not been killed by the regime and Mubarak is still in office or has rejected his call, what recourse for redress is then left for Ghonim and the rest of the Egyptian protest world? And how do they plan to pay their bills if they are not paid their wages as result of a long-drawn out society in disarray or don't those Egyptians pay bills?
Icheoku says what a clever speech delivered by Grandpa Mubarak, which was meant "to meet all the peoples demand" as earlier promised by the Egyptian military Chief. Meanwhile Icheoku likes and admires men of great courage and President Hosni Mubarak is one of such men, a man who have severally put his life on the line for these protesting young pharaohs to have a place they can proudly call a home. The parties seem to be totally entrenched in their un-shifting positions and only the destruction of one by the other will sort the situation out at this point. Icheoku admonishes President Hosni Mubarak that the protest has lasted for too long and now is time to end it; either he cracks-down on it or he should meet the protesters demand and quit. But to apparently remain powerless in a situation where exhibition of some power may be very productive shows a man whose regime is on life-support. Mubarak has no choice at this point but to decisively crackdown on the protesters if he wants to retain power and remain in office; and the other guys need to come up with something better to support their call for the early exit of the grandpa of the River Nile. But Egypt cannot remain in a state of anomie or a standing still position forever; something gonna give way and NOW!.
