...WAITING FOR BUGODOT

BY JOHN ODEY ADUMA, PUBLISHER AND BRITISH CHEVENING SCHOLAR, UNITED KINGDOM

Just like Nigerians...a frog in error of judgement on a journey to NO WHERE!

Series: Buharism and Fierce Urgency of Now

THE SCARECROW AND HIS 100 DAYS OF SIDDON LOOK:

It was in the season before the day of reckoning

when the two parrots in the savanna ochard

began firing their salvoes, fussilade and cannonade simultaneously

in a pulsating rythm as if under the influence of a wicked medium

forcing every creature on the farm out of their sleep

and commanding them that the dreaded-evil sheriff and the potentate of the orchard

wanted every animal without exception

to assemble at the courtyard

and testify to the abundant and the good life they had each been a beneficiary of

since Rehoboam ascended the Davidic throne of the ancient Israel and Judah,

But warning them never to speak about the yawing chasm

he had put between Israel and Judah:

Then came the timid old pig grunting about the king outlawing

any form of muddiness in the orchard

And then the seven bull dogs to woo! Woo-woo!

And the doves to coo endlessly - Manogugu coo-coo...manogugu coo-coo!

And the sparrow entered to twi, twi...twi-twi..twi-twi-twi;

The canary to chiro-chiro...chirororororororro;

The weaver bird to krikri...krikri- krikrikrikrikriii;

And the cow to mooo - mooo! Mooooooo!

The cock to cock a doodle doo;

the cat to meow! Meow!

the goat to mmeee-eh,  mmeee-eh!

the owl to hoo, hoo;

And the 1960 Bedford to tut, tut, tutu-u-u!

All for his 100 days in office

But the town crier when ushered in

defied the so-called sheriff who to him, is nothing

other than a bloody tyrant;

a despot with indescribable despotism;

a sanguinary viper who delights in bloodbath

and revels in human miseries,

just the same old monster on the throne

scaring everyone underneath his ebony desk

mistaken theocracy for democracy;

deceptocracy for the truth,

propagandocracy for liberalism,

wayocracy for free speech,

jibitocracy for consultation,

wahalaocracy for rule of law,

katakataocracy for peaceful resolution;

a scarecrow presiding over a Scarecrow Government

that has purposed to fool the governed by propalieda

and propascareda.

And turning to the two noisy parrots in the orchard:

PARROT NUMBER 1:

A very strong warning to you -

And to PARROT NUMBER TWO, he asked very furiously:

Parrot Number Two, "Do you know me?"

I'm the Dimaranga of the rainforest and I hunt men and women

at a time their lives are sweetest to them;

I'm warning you and I'm watching you at the same time from my OBSERVATORY,

Warning all of you together with your evil sheriff.

And from my OBSERVATORY keeping an eye on all the vampires,

worms and vultures,

caterpillars and palmerworms,

locusts and cankerworms, not better than the other worms,

and vultures, locust and cankerworms,

caterpillars and palmerworms,

And I adjuge you the worst for your hypocrisy,

your resort to self-righteousness, puritanism and pharisaism

knowing you therefore, for who you are,

and for what you are, O king Rehoboam:

Shall I then like the other citizens of greater gullibility

give you the thumbs-up on your 100 wasted days;

one hundred days of sorrow and tears;

one hundred days of fear and witch-hunting;

one hundred days of pain, complaining and murmuring;

one hundred days of do-nothingness;

one hundred days of playing politics with the Chibok girls still in captivity;

one hundred days of taking the country for a ride;

one hundred days of taking Nigerians for fools;

one hundred days of dividing Nigerians into North and South,

Christians and Muslims,

my people and your people,

the North and other Nigerians,

Arewa and Abeeds,

Muslims and kafirs,

Kichen Cabinet and Noise Making Cabinet,

Inner circle and outsiders of the inner circle,

ruling house and the house of slaves,

victors and the vanquished,

the free and slaves,

All talk and no action;

all motion and no movement;

of tyranny and despotism;

of not knowing what to call a house wife;

whether First Lady or the the wife of the President;

wife of a despot or a dictator;

and since they don't know how to call one of these fragrance cohorts,

let them know she is just a HOUSE WIFE!
