That our president, his excellency, Mr Goodluck Jonathan is making his intention known today is not news. It is not news because he has the right so to do.

Politically, the conditions are also right.

The two hundred girls who were seized by the dreaded boko haram have been married off to members of boko haram. No less a person than the cat who has seven lives, Shekau, announced that.

It is traditionally right. Or which ethnic group is there in Nigeria where such practice is not right traditionally? Their dowries have been paid by no less an organ than the federal government itself. Or have you forgotten the money that was doled out to their parents?

The girls have also been islamised. Of course, it is only right that when kaffirs are married to great mallams that they are converted.

Do not think that is the only achievement of this government. What about NEPA or PHCN? Thanks to this government, we now have light 25 hours daily.

We now have all basic amenities expected of the government. In fact, Nigerians are practically begging Mr Jonathan to contest.

Back to security, the country is so safe that we now use the boko haram to secure the country. In fact, the conventional security agencies hardly have any work to do again.

Have you seen the new electric trains. They exist in every Nigerian’s imagination. They will rid our our roads of the diesel consuming trailers and make our traffic free.

Have you seen our refineries? Every state has a refinery now. The states control the revenue accruing from the refineries. As a result states do not need allocation again because they are now self reliant. That is federalism for you!

I wonder where Jonathan had been all these days we had been looking for a messiah. As a result of his achievements all the communities in Nigeria have contributed a wife each to him. As if that is not enough, every family is thinking of donating a wife to him.

They all want to be in-laws to Mr Jonathan. We are waiting for you!
