George Onmonya Daniel 33 minutes ago I can see President Goodluck Jonathans enemies are having a swell time over #Bring Back Our Girls# and all of that. Yes, he is the president but the most blackmailed president in the history of Nigeria. Why? Because some people have over the years poisoned others mind against the man. In the calculation Goodluck Jonathan was not supposed to be president. He was supposed to be the Vice President and they quiet loyal Vice President. Olusegun Obasanjo picked Goodluck Jonathan and made him Yaraduas assistant because he didnt want an Atiku type of Vice President for Yaradua. You know how Atiku showed Obasanjo pepper. Now Obasanjo didnt know Umar Musa Yaradua would die. He didnt. Yaradua was the only person Baba Iyabo trusted to handover to because Obasanjo and Yaradua are cousin. Yaraduas bros, that one that died in prison was Obasanjos right hand man. You recalled when General Sani Abacha picked up Yaradua senior, he picked up Obasanjo. Obasanjo handed over power to a man he knows would never prosecute him. Goodluck Jonathan was supposed to be that docile Vice President. But like Wole Soyinka would say, The Man Died. He died. When he died some people were very angry that Goodluck Jonathan was sworn in as president even though that is the constitution. The hate relationship started immediately some political class who wanted to hijack power from the Yaradua regime got information that Yaradua wasnt coming back. After Goodluck Jonathan was sworn in he was told by these mafiaso gangs to step down for them immediately Umar Musa Yaraduas regime come to a close. They call themselves Northern Alliance. Goodluck Jonathan went ahead to win the primaries after they handpicked Atiku Abubakar from the likes of IBB, Saraki (disqualified as Yoruba) and Gusau. Immediately Goodluck Jonathan won the primaries allegiance shifted to General Muhammad Buhari. People were angry. Politicians kept poisoning the atmosphere with hate. It was that hate that led to the CPC massacre after the 2011 election where Buharis supported took to the streets to unleash mayhem when the Peoples General lost in one of the freest and fairest election in Nigerias history. Those who hate Goodluck Jonathan kept campaigning. No matter what the man does even today to them is useless. I see them hijacking the #Bring Back Our Girls# campaign and turning it into hate campaign. A lot of people have been killed by BOKO HARAM. If we have all screamed and shouted in unison like this from the beginning we would have averted Chibok and all the bombing in Nigeria. We were SILENT. The President is not the only leader in Nigeria. We are all leaders. Leadership starts from the house. It starts from your immediate vicinity. I hold Northern Nigerian leaders more responsible for Boko Haram than the president. Those who know where Boko Haram are heading did nothing until now. Those who understand the mindset of this people did nothing until now. Those who even talked were talking rubbish, blaming Christian Association of Nigeria, Israel, the United States and all for Boko Haram. The only people they did not blame are themselves. In this country people celebrated and defended Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the underwear bomber. When that shit happened you see them taking pictures with the father and spashing it all over Facebook. Is it not like taking picture with the father of Lawrence Anini? I will stop this by saying even though we must demonstrate when it is time to demonstrate, we should also support government to end this madness not use the madness as an opportunism to become nuisance. Some people are really becoming nuisance with all this noise. The noise is not even about CHIBOK anymore. The reason why I am refreshing history is not to exonerate the president of blames but to tell Nigerians that at times of trouble we support our nation and not betray it. A lot of people are happy Boko Haram are embarrassing Nigeria because they dont like President Goodluck Jonathan. Thats the mindset in some areas and you cannot change it. -George Onmonya Daniel
