No matter how big you grow, there are certain actions you will take for which you will receive a tongue lashing by the elders of your family or community. And whether you live in Lagos or America or you are the President or a civil servant the public ridiculing will just be as severe.
Dr. Jonathan missed his own opportunity to text the will of whole Ogbia elders at home and in Diaspora recently, it was a serious matter that the wire services missed out on. How? Be patient.
The fat Cats in The Nigerian Navy , as part of Nigeria @ 50 celebration thought it will be nice to buy a N3.2 billion yatch to be used principally to ferry the President , an ijaw boy, to the high sea , so that he and his wife and a hand full of VIP’s can appreciate the acrobat displays of the Navy.
The Navy top brass must have been congratulating themselves on a wonderful presentation when they submitted that proposal. Their boat hit sand. How did they expect Lucky Joe, a fisher boy, who was raised in dug out wooden canoes catching fish in the Atlantic to explain that he bought a N3.2 billion boat, perhaps with a master bedroom, bar, kitchen, toilet and guest chalets,servant quarters because he was afraid of the high tides.
How did they expect him to explain to militants who attack Shell offshore platforms with fiberglass boats fitted with double 85 horsepower out board engines . president or not he will never have been able to face his people to defend that decision that would have profited a few smiling faces no doubt. Those elders would have booed him. I don’t know if a few strokes would have been in order. I am so glad he did not fall. Aso Rock is also full of banana peels.
