Akin to the child prodigy Osmet in the movie "Sixth Sense" who "sees dead people everywhere," Nigerian President Goodluck Ebelesimi Jonathan now sees Goliaths everywhere in Nigeria. Icheoku wonders whether the president is collapsing mentally to all those occultic powers constantly bombarding him in the spiritual realm or he is suddenly realizing that being a president is a "real hard-work?"
According to the president, "there are very, very terrible Goliaths everywhere. There are Goliaths that can easily kill their mothers and fathers and even some of their children. And to stop government, they are willing to to do it. These terrible Goliaths would want to frustrate us. But, surely, with God, we will conquer them. Every Goliath has an exposed forehead. All the Goliaths that are stumbling blocks to the development and growth of this country, God will expose their heads for the stone of David."
Icheoku says there could only be two known Goliaths in Nigeria at worst - Olusegun Obasanjo and Ibrahim Babangida, two men who can really become a stumbling block for the president if they so choose. So Mr President instead of seeing imaginary Goliaths everywhere, start devising a game-plan to cage them or shoot them down with your David's stone. It is about time you start real governing and stop seeing shadows or hallucinating about non-existent Goliaths that are supposedly hounding your government and making it impossible for you to deliver on your campaign promises.
Please name those Goliaths who are stopping you from doing the work for which you were elected so that Nigerians could put them to shame them or help you slay them. Better still, If you cannot stand the heat, just get out of the kitchen or did anyone ever tell you it was going to be an easy job being Nigeria's president. Take a cue from the former US President George Bush who publicly admitted that the presidency is a hard work. So is Icheoku hearing the same from you, President Jonathan since the rest of Nigerians are not seeing those larger-than-life Goliaths stopping you from doing your work? The really problem here is an ill-prepared president who appears clueless on how to really shake things up for Nigeria to trudge on, now making excuses for his shortcomings? Mister President, icheoku says to you, just put aside the fear of whatever apparition you may be seeing as it is all in your head and start governing - no bogey man is out there to get you!
