That boy, Julius Malema, was born in 1981. In Nigeria, he would still be arranging chairs and canopies during political rallies in the hope of becoming the national youth leader of a division two political party in his fifties and, ultimately, the national youth leader of a division one political party in his sixties. Yet, he gets to send his umqombothi mouth on rude errands against the President of Nigeria, against the Presidency of Nigeria. He even rubs salt and pepper into the injury by suggesting a South African intervention to save us from ourselves in Nigeria. Ouch, sorry, I meant yeepa. This kind of talk in the context of the fratricidal clash of egos which permanently underwrites the relationship between Nigeria and South Africa? This boy surely knows how to kill ones soul. To think that barely three decades ago, we were pumping petrodollars down there to save them from themselves in South Africa? The mighty can fall very quickly in global affairs o. Sadly for us, I was once very rich, funded your anti-apartheid efforts, and gave scholarships to your children to attend Nigerian Universities - itan mo lowo ri ni yen. All dat one na tori. I get am before no be money. Therefore, mi o kuku ri omo Malema yen ba wi. I cant blame the Malema boy at all. The best you can do is whine that, like the somnambulistic Senator John McCain in America, Malema was low, crude, and uncouth with that clowning dismissal of Goodluck Jonathans name. Beyond that, there is nothing that the unruly South African kid said about the irresponsible level of leadership in Nigeria that can be faulted. Once again, we are in Ezeulus position. When the Chief Priest of Ulu heard that the white man had flogged Obika, he said it was his sons irresponsibility that had brought that foreign shame on Ezeulus household. Obikas behaviour, laments Mazi Ezeulu, ties my hands and my tongue. I cannot vouch for him. I am not even sure that he was not drunk when he reported late for the white mans work. It is not that I wouldnt have known what to do or say in these circumstances. Hmmmm, greetings to you Ezeulu. It is not that one does not now what to say to this miseducated South African boy but Goodluck Jonathans handling of Baga ties ones hands. Goodluck Jonathans handling of Nigeria ties ones tongue. With which mouth is one to counter Malema? Like you, Ezeulu, who knows the role played by Orijin and other beverages of similar parentage in Goodluck Jonathans globally-shamed/shameful handling of Baga? Malema did not insult the Nigerian presidency. Goodluck Jonathan did and does all the time. If it is any consolation for those of you asking me for my take on the Malema issue, well, the boy says worse things everyday about the mediocre polygamist who runs South Africa. So, leave Malema alone. Worry about your President who is such a prolific magnet of global opprobrium for your country. He still hasnt said anything about the 2000 Nigerian souls he lost in Baga while wailing louder than Francois Hollande over the French Presidents loss of 12 French journalists but I will not be surprised to wake up to news tomorrow that he has offered to renovate the offices of Charlie Hebdo in continuation of the demonstration of support for France by the Government and people of Nigeria.
