A lot of people were incensed by the grip on power by Yar’Adua
or his wife. It was an open secret that Turai Yar’Adua was running the
executive arm of government at the time her husband was sick.
Allegiances switched, and lots of people clamoured for the
current President, GEJ to take the bull by the horn and mount the nation’s
topmost echelon despite being docile. After lots of drama and lots of damage
done to the presidency the mantle of leadership was FORCED on GEJ.
Finally the minority rose to the highest position in Nigeria
and lots of people especially the southerners thrusted their hopes and life on
GEJ. People loved him so much that we immediately forgot all issues of
corruption levelled against him and his wife during his tenure as Governor of Bayelsa
State. I know quite a few people who named their child ‘Goodluck’ due to his
dramatic and lucky ascend to power.
Presently the man who had no shoes feels the only way to
make Nigerians get more dividends of democracy is to increase the hardship (for
a short time). A lot of arguments have been thrown around and the same people
who once loved this man dearly loathe him so much now. It is said that there is
a thin line between love and hate and his betrayal have made Nigerians to cross
that line.
We should get ready for another round of christening for
kids named Goodluck. I suggest they should be christened ‘Bestofluck’
