Now,
isn't it funny that anytime you put in front of them some facts or reasonable
arguments against their Supreme Candidate, most Buharists now happily tell you
that they are no longer moved by all that, because their minds are already made
up? Don’t they know that only stones give such a standard response?
Why would
anyone gleefully show pride in not being moved by superior arguments or
superior reasoning or, if they do not see it that way, why would anyone feel
proud not to engage with facts or opinion they do not agree with in a
reasonable way?
Their
first reaction is almost always to insult you and when you give them a little
taste of their own medicine they bray like tortured donkeys in a psychopathic
knacker’s yard!
They all seem in some kind of opium-induced amnesia about the
personality they are attempting to sell to the rest of us to the extent that
the worst crime going now in Nigeria is that you’re not sniffing!
They
present him like God on earth deserving only of our silent acquiescence or
very, very loud praises! They expect a coronation on February 14 and anything
short of that can only be a conspiracy to stop God’s plan and, as their God has
proclaimed, a call to the very bloody end of poor baboons and dogs!
Yes,
the precipitate celebration would have been amusing were it not the dark
atmospherics we see all over. Indeed, one of their members, Festus Keyamo, has
actually called for the stoning and chasing out of President Goodluck Jonathan
from campaign grounds as proof that we are a sane society!
Their idea of
democracy is the execution of political opponents and the ridiculing of the
Office of the President as far as that office is still occupied by a man
they’ve chosen to call the worst of names.
In fact, it looks like they’ve
concluded plans to bring down all the walls of Aso Rock and cart off all
furniture, curtains and utensils and replace them with brand new ones in one
night, just so they don’t get a whiff of the one they’ve termed the usurper.
The
more worrying thing is that nobody in the leadership of this horde is stepping
back and looking at where all this is leading.
Every one of them seem to think
they’ve reached their destination and all that remains now is to draw out their
swords and pass judgment on their political enemies in the name of the change
conjured up in their rear mirror as they careen off their cliffs.
So is anyone
taking a bet on how many oceans of tears we would be scooping up on February 15?
