GEJ & THE COAT OF 'HARMS' (1)

*clears throat*fellow Nigerians...",the ever lovely first two words that has become the introductory axims that begins the Nigerian President's Speech. Ever since His Excellency, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan ascended the Aso Rock Villa's sacred sit, it has neen 'HELL' for him, his friends and 'concubines' which has never been fair n him since this 'HELL' was inherited (at least that's what his attack dogs implied). After eventually winning the 'battle' to complete late President Yaradua's tenure and cajoling the whole country with the "I had no shoes" campaign, GEJ has not really done anything to douse the fierce conflagration that's been engulfing him. From seemingly going back on the alleged gentleman's agreement with the Northern Statesmen not to contest for a second term, adoption a siddon-look approach to the Boko Haram menace until thousands of Nigerians (foreigners inclusive) had been -still is- maimed, decapitated, killed, rendered fatherless, widows in the north; to defiling the simple rules of Mathematics by recognising Jang, Governor of Plateau State, as the Chairman, Governors Forum and relatively the recent crisis in Rivers State.

In as much as GEJ&his assistants try to fence off from the crisis, a Ray Charles will see that the bulk stops on his desk. The first lady confessed during the courtesy call meeting with the South South Bishops that the 'beef' with Amaechi started four years ago because he disobeyed her order by demolishing the Okrika Waterfronts. Amaechi explained he did so because he felt (who turned out to be vindicated) the waterfront acted as a getaway for militants and needed to put an end to their excesses. A reply the first lady did not take lightly.

Logical reasoning begs to ask why now? Why did she wait till now to "show herself" if she does not have a full territorial backing? Juxtaposing GEJ's obstreperous achievements as the GCFR(both physically and spiritually) with the obstinate ways he has handled the running of state affairs(over 3years spent in office), it will be easy to conclude that he needs serious help as he has done more HARM than good to the country and its coat of ARMS.
