How will you feel to wake up one day to learn that a non-Igbo President is proposing to change the primordial Gulf of Biafra to Gulf of Nigeria? Why? To exorcise the ghost of BIAFRA. What will the Igbo people think? Vendetta? Revisionism? Pettiness? Vengeance? Retrogression or what?
Sounds ridiculous…
Shhhh…. supporters of Trump in Nigeria must not hear that because their “hero” and “mentor”, Donald J. Trump is already back in power and proposing to do something similar if not exactly that. He and his MAGA, Make America Great Again, movement want to reclaim the Panama Canal and rename Gulf of Mexico as GULF OF AMERICA! O America. One time they “entered one chance”. Once beaten America seems not shy at all…
That’s Impossican’t! Very ridiculous. What does he want to achieve with that? What’s in a name?
You don’t know that man and his fellow MAGALOMANIACS!
Wait. Which is that? You mean MEGALOMANIACS?
MAGAlomaniacs. Got what I mean? They want to DO and UNDO to make America great again. Once again America is no longer a member of WHO.
Which or who is WHO?
Oh, that’s World Health Organisation.
I see. So soon?
Not only that. The Paris Climate Change Agreement paper has also been torn into shreds.
Meaning what?
That US is no longer a believer in the theory and reality of climate change and its global effects for as long as the wealthy and the wealthiest can afford to live under GREEN HOUSE conditions in their separate homes and offices AND can afford to go once or twice a year on vacation to the MOON in Elon Musk’s spacecraft…
How will the Trumpians in Nigeria take advantage of their hero’s style, bravado and political shenanigans and do the unimaginable in “our own dear native land”?
Sure. Pedagogists are won’t to say that imitation and adaptation are necessary, though not sufficient, factors in the learning process. When mother cow is chewing grass, says an Igbo proverb, its younger ones tend to watch its mouth. The Trumpians among us are watching and understudying the weird one.
Are you saying TINUBU will one day change GULF OF BIAFRA to Gulf of Nigeria?
Don’t pack bush into my mouth, pls. (Ma kogbo simi lenu). I did not say that. Neither did I finger him as a Nigerian Trumpian who is ready to carry out the “disorders” of the maverick of a kind in God’s own country. I will be very naive or even disrespectful to the intellect of Tinubu to think he would be so naive to propose such a ridiculous thing in the post-civil war Nigeria. Tufia! Nigeria has never had the misfortune of having a “cockroach” as leader. Not even Abasha aka Saniba, reputed to be just a military warhorse full of muscles and bones but no brain.
Can you decode your code?
Then it’s no more a code. Hints are more than enough for OMOLUWABI to decode and decipher. “Eemo wolu…”! (a monster is let loose!).
What’s that again?
Just keep watching. Sooner or later, you will see fire in the well in the name of MAGA.
