There lived a man who had a dream. A dream that one day his people would live a better live. A dream that one day, everybody would be equal and would be subjects to the law. A dream that even the rich would abide by the law no matter whose axe is gored. There live a man in the black continent in the most populous black nation known to man who had a dream in discipline in all aspect of life. A dream whereby corruption is eradicated in all spheres of the nation. A dream to fight the cabals that has left a nation in backwardness since independence. But as they say, a prophet is not respected in his home.
In his love for the nation, he enlisted into the army where he quickly rose to the top echelons of the military institution. He became a General. Those who was privy to his records say he is the most disciplined officer they ever come across and was incorruptible. Some called him a sadist; why not? In a country where corruption and indiscipline hold sway, he was one amongst millions. Yet he continued on his path. When the nation needed someone to handle a very crucial department in the petroleum sector, guess who was called upon? Same man. and boy did he build a flattering sector that is still benefiting the nation till this present day. Then something changed the course of a nation that would bring him prominence but at the same time bring a nation to its knees. In 1983, during one seriously corrupt so called democratic government, some group of military men seized power and in an effort to sanitized the nation and get rid of corruption, the called on the most incorruptible military officer and he answered. He was made a military president and proceeded in ridding corruption in a no hold bare campaign. Nobody was spared. Not even his closest allies. He instilled discipline across the board. His regime was termed "Buharism" because no body was above the law even his fellow military compatriots was not spared. Perhaps this was his biggest problem because 18 months later, he was overthrown and with him went a dream. But as a gallant soldier, he maintained a path that is uncommon in his nation. He stayed true to himself. Didn't seek any government contract and didn't seek to be friends with looters. He watched from afar...
All these while he was gone, criminals ran amok with the national treasury. Corruption was celebrated like never before. The nation became associated with corruption. Her citizens became brainwashed. The cabals held the nation to ransom. The region that provided the national resources that fed the nation was neglected and it's people lived in abject poverty. More than 60% of the nation's citizens lived in abject poverty and this poor folks had no choice than to take up arms and plunged the country into total lawlessness. The worse of this is the brainwashing of it citizens to celebrate this lawlessness. The country's corrupt leaders was celebrated. The name of the country became associated with criminality.
But the general couldn't take it any longer. Amidst the dilapidated state of the nation, he offered himself to the nation for election. Shockingly, he was rejected at the poll because the nation wanted someone from a different ethnic background. He offered himself again and was rejected. But he remained strong. His resolve was unshaken. He offered himself again and still was rejected for the third time. So as much that he cried for the nation. But history was about to repeat itself in the most unconspitous manner. The nation was tricked into electing a man who was from a minority tribe. They were told he was smart and that he had a PHD in Zoology. But my God was he clueless. He plunged the nation into further crisis. Him and his goons partook in unprecedented looting of the national treasury. He knowingly or unknowingly sponsored terrorism and divided the nation along religious and ethnic lines... And when it was time for another election, guess what? The general offered himself up again. But this time, the nation's citizens were smarter and wiser to their tricks. The cabals did all they could. The government tried all they could to disqualify him but the General stood still. They said he was uneducated, a tyrant, a sadist and levelled all kind of allegations against him but he stood still. The progressive citizens fought his conner and low and behold he emerged as the new president of the most populous black nation on mother earth.
Now 100 days into his regime, the criminals are running helter skelter. He has promised to track them down and jail anyone who has looted the nation. Now there is renewed hope for a nation that has been destabilized for too long. He is appointing people who has been held back for too long because they refused to partake in looting the treasury. But even as he tries to repair the damages done for so long, the brainwashed ones are still making empty noise from their computers. The general has come back to rescue his nation. A nation he has swore to uphold and nothing I mean absolutely nothing can stop the general's moving train. Anyone or group of people including the twitter fingers try to wave down the moving train of progress would be crushed never to be found again... And as the general promised, there would be no sacred cows in the quest to bring glory and honour to the most populous black nation on planet earth.
To my President... Thou be hail-let
