President Jonathan still think that the Yorubas just like other Nigerian tribes live in the 14th century. In those dark days, the Kings or Obas, Emirs and other have total control of the affairs of their respective people. But this is 20th century where people are free to exercise their freedom under the law, Among which is the citizens right to vote for who they believe can represent their interests best. Four years ago, president Badluck Jonathan was not traveling around begging and bribing dubious kings for him to get reelected. Alaafin Oyo will only guarantee this dumb president his only vote if only he will go out to vote on election day. Over 48 millions Yorubas and other suffering Nigerian masses will cast their precious votes against this corrupt, unpatriotic and criminal president on March 28th, 2015. Why? This zoologist turned politician has been in power for six years with nothing good to show rather than mass murder of innocent children, mothers and fathers; sudden increase in the prices of petrol and kerosene by 75 % just less than three weeks he was reelected in 2011; prices of food products have sky rocketed in our various markets, he is clueless about insecurity posed by evildoers called Boko Haram terrorists, corruption is openly celebrated by Jonathan’s administration, money laundering operations like never before seen in Nigeria history, unemployment rate among our able youths is nothing to talk about. The people’s money that should have been used for physical development are now been used to bribe hungry Nigerian celebrities, Obas, Emirs, pastors, Imans, Bishop and Obis while millions of our people can not avoid two meal per day. Nigerian economy has been shattered, and our nation’s image abroad has been damaged beyond repair. The 20 billion dollars stolen from the NNPC account is more than enough to turn the country economy around if this president is patriotic, smart, intelligent and competent, but he will rather used the money for political campaign and election bribery. Is a matter of time, God Almighty will surely judge president Jonathan and all his criminal allies or friends destroying our beloved nation. They have stolen billion of naira for their own comfort while over 170 millions great Nigerians citizens are been driven into abject poverty by president Jonathan’s policies and leadership failures with in the past six years. There is God ooooooooooo Jona!
