Jonathan, His Governors And The Step-aside Anointing by miccheck57: 9:15am On Dec 16, 2012 |
While Nigerians were thrown into another traumatic experience on Saturday the 15th of December, of the Navy helicopter crash that claimed the lives of the Kaduna State Governor, Patrick Yakowa, former National Security Adviser, General Owoye Azazi, and in no less pain, Dauda Tsoho, Warrant Officer Mohammed Kamal and pilots, Commander Muritala Daba and Lt. Adeyemi O. Sowole, one cannot help but ponder on likely physical, metaphysical, spiritual, political and socio-economic forces that caused four crashes in the 2012 calendar year (Police Helicopter – March 14; Dana Airplane – June 3; Danbaba’s Cessna – October 25; Military Helicopter – December 15). One cause that flashed through my thoughts are, in the words of journalists, UNCONFIRMED; Sounds jejune but permit me to express it anyway. That the different political capacities Mr President has served, was made possible by the goodluck factor on his part but bad news in the camp of those he happened to have been next in command to, is no news, at least to the religious, sarcastic and permutative in Nigeria. News from Enugu, Cross River, Taraba and now Kaduna seem to confirm that the deputies are dancing to the throne while the original office holders are either crashed, sick or on prolonged ‘leave’. Don’t Africans believe the fish spoils and smells from the head? Indeed, one cannot underestimate the control the head (as a metaphor for the brain) has over the other parts of the body! Is the ‘step-aside’, or what you may call “die-and- go” syndrome rubbing off on the lower wrung of the political ladder in Nigeria? What spiritual message is this sending? Much as panic of any kind is not my intention here, this exposure of my thoughts is for the wise and discerning to help a Nigerian like me look beyond the physical. Afterall even serving Honourable Ministers are of the believe that happenings in Nigeria is more than meets the eye.
