Chief Ojo Maduekwe And His Bicycle Project
otasco otanda
Yea, it is necessary to refer to ojo maduekwe as a
nigerian leader in quotes, for he is indeed a fool,
just like the other fools, olabode george and olusegun
obasonjo.
Seriously, the name ojo maduekwe means a human drum
that is hollow, because madu is human, ekwe is drum
and ojo is hollow. We thank his father for the good
job in naming his boy so aptly and perfectly. Who
could ever fault that, and besides, who knows a son
better than the father?
ojo maduekwe is a total disgrace to his people; he is
a terrible boil and pus in the scrotum of liberation
and freedom fighters, a perfect inconvenience that
adds much more sand to the little garri his people
have.

Hello Mazi Otasco,
Wetin concern you for "Naija affairs"?
What do you really have against the "bicycle project"?
I mean, this Minister is obviously more concerned
about the overall picture, not just "an Igbo agenda".
After all, he represents all Nigerians.....
Well, Nigerians need "leaders" like Chief Ojo
Maduekwe. If you'd rather worship the likes of Ralph
Uwazurike, well, that is your beef.
Chei, where is Mazi MOE when you need him? "A na-akwa
akwa ndi oke tagbulu, ngwere ewere nnu na-eso eze
ha."
For now, keep on chipping at the wrong tree.....
My Hausa brothers would say: "Sara daya ba ya ka da
hace". That is, one simple cut won't bring down a
tree...[Chief Ojo Maduekwe is an Iroko tree].

Well, what just happened is a perfect metaphor for
what will happen should an attempt be made, or
continued to be made, to fix that accursed country
according to the recommendations of one-nigerianists.
The right mental attitude is lacking from among vast
majority of them, and the operating environment is a
complete nightmare, which is completely screwed up
further by hyper corruption.
Only a square fool would attempt a quick fix such as
ojo's, and ojo madukwe, an ojoish ekwe madu, is
definitely a fool, because he failed to grasp the lack
of right mental attitute among nigerians, or failed to
tackle it as the first step in his so-called bicycle
project. He was indeed lucky that he was not hit in
one of those SE errosion-filled or terribly bad roads.

Ore mi, ki ni ko? I remember quite well when the Yoruba cursed and spat at
Adetibu (Abi na Adedibu) when the man was for Abacha or nothing. The Yoruba
went as far as destroying the man's property all over Yoruba. Now, your
princeship, was Adetibu(?) not Nigerian? Was he not doing what every
Nigerian is expected to do and that is support his HOS? Now, if all of
Yoruba despised their own for doing things against the will of the Yoruba,
why can't ndiigbo tell their own, Ojo Maduekwe, that he is traveling the
wring path? Is what is good for the goose not good for the gander, mon
ami? This is the problem with the Yoruba. They believe only they will live
and let others die. Is Obasanjo not president for all Nigeria? Has Bola
Ige not told Nigeria that Obasanjo is carrying on the AD agenda? Now is AD
not an entirely Yoruba outfit controlled by Afenifere? Ki lo de, amigo?
Stretching it a bit further, the only reason why the Yoruba fought J12 was
because it was MKO who was denied rulership of Nigeria. If not, why did
they not come out in numbers when Shagari/Ekwueme, another duly elected
team, were thrown out? Why did they not complain when Ekwueme languished in
prison? I am sorry for rehashing old stories but I take refuge in the fact
that you must know your history or you wouldn't know whence you come from
and therefore, could not plan so as not to repeat the past mistakes. So, my
friend, all this cry, in short crying more than the bereaved and making
yourself seem more patriotic than anyone else, is self serving. It is all
because a Yoruba is at the top of the mountain. Abi?
Rgds.,
-Magnus
