Dear Dame Patience
Jonathan,
I accord you the
respect due to your office. It isn’t an easy feat being the wife of the
President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is an honour and a privilege
most women dream about and wouldn’t mind coming true….oh what bliss!!! to wake
up every morning knowing that almost everything is at your beck and call…yes,
almost everything but not everything…
I know that you
know that as the wife of the number one citizen of Nigeria, you have both critics
and fanatics …….this is because you are the epitome of femininity in the office of
the Presidency.
You have found
yourself assessed by print and social media . Your
publicists have wondered why, oh why, our Patience is dragged into the
politics and all “what-not” of the Nigerian entity. Madam, wonder no further,
it’s pretty simple…..
You have showed so
much vigour in the Rivers State “politic-drama” than you have about the #ChildNotBride campaign, last time I
checked; I haven’t heard your voice joining other mothers to condemn this
dastardly act.
Just maybe if you lend
your voice to the #ChildNotBride
campaign, the likes of Senator Yerima will see reason why a young female child isn’t
a wife “material”
You have showed so
much vigour getting women from all works of life through the auspices of
Nigerian Council of Women Society to close the streets of Abuja(August 15,2013)
….last time I checked, I haven’t heard your voice joining others to find a
solution to the on-going ASUUASUU strike……
Just maybe, if you
can concede 50% of the feeding budget of ASO ROCK for the year 2013, to our
Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala to meet ASUU demands, so our
undergraduates can go back to school
You have showed so
much emotions berating those who haven't paid you
condolence visits on the demise of your mother, Madam Charity Obah, ….last time I
checked, I haven’t heard that you paid condolence visits to the several
families who have lost wife (mother), husband (father), children, loved ones
and property in the several bomb blasts that have rocked the country since your
husband, Mr. President took over the helm of affairs in Nigeria.
Just maybe, if you
take the bible injunction to “mourn with those who mourn” by paying a
condolence visit to show the nameless and helpless families that in their pain and
grief, they are loved selflessly…
I could go on and
on with my endless list, however…just maybe, very soon; your voice will be
heard
Yours sincerely,
Sykik
