BLAME IT ON BUHARI

Yes, I can bet the laptop on which I write this piece that when Muhamadu Buhari set out on his recent journey to Aso Rock, he did not expect to see anything near the confusion that now surrounds him.

There was this wise old man in my village who when confronted with a very bad situation, sighed and exclaimed, ‘the world has burst both its tube and its tire!’ Indeed, Nigeria appears to have burst both its tube and its tire.

‘If You Continue This Way, You Will End Up Like Jonathan” -Sanusi Tells Buhari

Emir of Kano, Sanusi Muhammad II, has disclosed that President Buhari’s government could end up like Jonathan’s own if it continuing behaving like the past government.

I AM TIRED OF BEING SECOND BEST

The games in Rio are going on better than anyone expected. The facilities are amazing and the spectacles, breath-taking. Old records are being shattered and new records set. While Michael Phelps is minting gold in Rio, Simon Biles, the under five feet 19 year old African American gymnast from Texas, is doing what no one else has done in a sport which before now was considered the exclusive preserve of those with European and Asian genes. Simone Biles is a miracle, pure and simple.

Another African American girl named Simone has set a new Olympic record in the swimming pool, another area that was hitherto the exclusive preserve of those with European and Asian genes. Her name is Simone Manuel. Incredible!

Nigeria which accounts for a quarter of all black people in the world has not won even a copper medal with all our Ijaw swimmers, our Boko Haram marksmen and all our young and angry boys boxing and wrestling themselves silly in every motor park in Oshodi, Ojota, Mile 2 and across our country

The Track & Field events will commence today. The Jamaican, Usen Bolt, will be there doing his thing as if he comes from a different planet with special genes. The Kenyans will be all over the tracks with their national anthem played over and over again. Some Nigerians will make up the number and if we get a silver medal, there will be celebrations in Lagos and Abuja!

To tell you the truth, I am tired of being second best. What is wrong with a Nigerian gold in swimming, boxing, wrestling, archery, basketball, judo, etc.? What is wrong with having “Arise O Compatriots” blare from the loud speakers in Rio?

It worries me that we have accepted that we cannot be the best in anything anymore. I do not see us making the efforts to be world beaters in any discipline whether in sports or any other area of human endeavour. If I am wrong, please tell me where. The tragedy is that this lack of self-belief is affecting our children badly. Nearly every Nigerian child now believes that except he immigrates to Europe or America, he or she is condemned to being second best in the world.

Have you noticed that many in our nation now prefer to send their children to school in Ghana or Republic of Benin? Ghana! Benin! That is how low we have sunk.

Wake up Nigerians! I am tired of being second best!

See you next week.

For the entire five years of Omran’s life, breakfast, lunch and dinner every day have been punctuated by bombs, bullets, rockets, shrapnel, violence destruction and death. As I

HOW DID NIGERIA BEAT JAPAN AT THE OLYMPICS?

Nobody gave them a chance. This is not because Nigeria does not know how to tap football. After all, we have once won the Olympic gold in the game and have been world champions in several FIFA organized football competitions.

During the week, the Nigerian Olympic football team was in the news. None of it had to do with our artistry in the world’s most popular sport. Sadly, much of it had to do with our artistry in getting simple things done very wrong. For several days, the representatives of the world’s most populous black nation and Africa’s largest economy to the world’s greatest sporting spectacle, the Olympics, were stranded in Atlanta Georgia. For days on end, no one seemed to know how to get our football team to Brazil.

TWO WEEKS IN AMERICA

This time last year, no one gave Donald Trump a beggar’s chance of getting anywhere near the White House. The pundits said that he was a joke. The media wrote him off. No one would have bet a cent in any of Trump’s failed casinos across America that Donald J. Trump could become President of the United States of America.

It is no longer a joke! The next President of the United States of America, the most powerful nation in the world, may very well be a trash talking egomaniac who spews obscenities as much as he openly sprouts hatred, a guy who has run his companies four times into
