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
Abeg conserve your energy and leave Madam P to continue 'chopping the life of her head'
ReplyDeleteMaybe this letter will get to her before May 2015...that is if the Nigerian Postal Service still works or if this would 'abracadabrily' drop into her mailbox (assuming she has one) or if she could take a break from all the incessant bickering and politicking to think about the issues that really matter to the people 'they' are supposed to be leading.
It really is well with this nation.
lol..at "maybe this letter will get to her before May 2015"...she needs a wake-up call. I thought after her near death experience, we will see a change.....obviously I was wrong
DeleteHer PR people need to be whipped! Whipped i say!
ReplyDeleteHer PR personnel are obviously her puppets because I don't want to believe that they are as lame as we read in their rejoinders
DeleteIn fact, you should send this to her.
ReplyDeleteMy Dear, I pray God nudges her heart into seeing reality
DeleteSometimes I wonder about the priorities of those in authority.
ReplyDeleteIt's really disheartening.
DeleteSometimes you wonder if they are so busy that they are unable to read newspapers or visit internets to know what is happening in their own land. shey if their people shield them from reading the dailies, shey dem dey also block them from accessing the internet? it is just a case of misplaced priorities or being politically correct. if she lends her voice to the "child not bride" campaign, permutations and combinations will be scattered. So it is safer for them to jeun soke. However, nobody should reel out imaginary achievements when they are no longer in power!
ReplyDelete#yesterday's men#
My darling,
Deletetrue talk oh...when they leave power, thats when we start reading of achievements as though them dey hallucinate.
It is well..
** visit the internet***
ReplyDeletesorry
It is sad my sis. I wish she could see this. The goings on in our polity is pathetic, especially when one travels to more organized societies and sees order and good governance, even though they may still have their own hiccups and clogs in the wheel. Maybe...just maybe...one day!!!
ReplyDeleteAfter her near death experience, I thought she knew better. Our leaders are so self-centered it's appalling
DeleteThanks for your wonderful prayers for my hubby on his birthday. God bless you and yours real good dear.
ReplyDeleteI really wish she could get to read this......I actually wanted to post it to her dear husband's page but how foolish of me! Of course you cannot post stuff to his page......You would think that her PR people would pick up these things you have mentioned and raised with her.........I refuse to feel helpless. I will continue to pray. These our leaders will not kill my hope for my country*smh*
ReplyDeleteHopefully, her PR people will do something
DeleteThank you Sykik! Thank you! I really wish she could read this. Is she on Facebook? She's just... Amazing. I can't think of a better word.
ReplyDeletelol@ "amazing"..she's just a special breed
Delete...This letter is endorsed by me...:D.
ReplyDeleteWell we can only do our part and hope that one day, it'll make a worthy difference
I hope she gets to read this letter! It's just sad.. sad, sad, sad! God help Nigeria
