People like Oby Ezekwesili must continue to be attacked and blackmailed. She deserves it. 2015 is around the corner yet people like her continue to make the Chibok Girls the central issue despite over three months of passage since their abduction.

Democracy has afforded Nigerian citizens the right to express their opinion on national issues without fear of being arrested. It now appears these citizens do not know their boundaries. They criticize the government even when the government is wrong despite an understanding that government is always right, especially the federal government under the leadership of the Emperor and Conqueror of the Nigerian people, President and Commander in Chief  of the Armed Forces, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan. Under the Jonathan administration, you only have one choice; support the government no matter what it does, no matter how ludicrous its decisions. Where perhaps you cannot scream your support for the government, let your silence be loud enough to be heard. Anything more and you’d be committing an act of trying to bring the government down.

Efforts must not be spared by the government to institutionalize the current state of presidential paranoia. Instead of citizens expecting to be abused and called names when they take a stand on any national issue, government should institutionalize the abusing process so that citizens can expect exactly what sort of name they will be called. Instead of referring to some citizens as APC members for instance, they should be called “Partisan Opposition.” This is because while APC may not even be in existence in the next 5 years, the opposition will always be in existence, if we do not decide that instead of wasting the energy and time of everyone, we should just stick to one almighty and all powerful PDP. “Partisan Opposition” P.O. for short will include all the Nigerians that do not see the big picture; the picture that says President Jonathan can do no wrong. That in the history of our country, we have never had a leader like Goodluck Jonathan. People talk about the disappearance of $20 billion under this administration, they forget that managing the image of the best president in our country will require all the resources we can muster. Those who criticize this government must immediately be institutionalized as haters of not just the government but of our country Nigeria.

People like Oby Ezekwesili must continue to be attacked and blackmailed. She deserves it. 2015 is around the corner yet people like her continue to make the Chibok Girls the central issue despite over three months of passage since their abduction. They continue to remind the government and people of Nigeria about the Chibok Girls. If not for Oby and her #BringBackOurGirls crew, everyone would have moved on and the space would have been open for our Lord and Master, President and Saviour Goodluck Jonathan to focus on his 2015 ambition. Oby and her likes are not patriotic!

Now that the government has hired a US based PR agency Levick to manage its image for a paltry $1.2 million, efforts must be put in place by patriotic Nigerian citizens to now stop talking about the Chibok Girls altogether. You must by now know that tweeting or mentioning anything to do with #BringBackOurGirls is an act capable of bringing down our government.

In about 5 days, it will be 100 Days since the abduction of the Chibok Girls. Yes, Mr. President Jonathan only finally believed they were abducted after 41 days so it is important that we now adjust the count from Day 100 to 100 – 41 which will then be 59 days. Power supply remains erratic but it was like that before President Jonathan. Maternal mortality remains on the high, so, what did ex-President Obasanjo do in his time? Insecurity is the worst it has ever been but we must be glad we still have a country because do no forget that we once fought a war but President Jonathan has kept us together. Dear Citizens, if we do not stop criticizing this God sent leader, we’d have to put a laws in place to make cricising in whatever guise and through whatever means as a treasonable act punishable by death. This is the time of our leader and all these critics must step out of the way. God bless the King and Protector of the Nigerian people, Dr. Ebele Azikiwe Goodluck Jonathan.
