RIDICULOUS:1
Born Ayobamidele Ayobami Ojutelegan Ajani Momodu on May 16 1960,Bob Dee as he is popular known to his admirers has been a real man about town.
Momodu,a graduate of Yoruba from the Obafemi Awolowo University was a journalist of note during his useful years.
A true pro democracy advocate during the June 12 struggle,Chief Dele has since metamorphosed into a party animal.No party is complete without he or his ever present Ovation magazine an ear shot away.
A man known for exaggerating his intellectual abilities and who in recent years has been overtly aggressive in his determination to be photographed with 'great,' personalities like Tu face,M I and Ekwe,he has even appeared in a couple of music videos and i can almost swear that i have seen him rap in a couple.
Only god knows what leaf he was smoking when he declared his intention to run for president;though ugwu leaf is my personal bet!
He has since resigned from the Labour Party because of the party's refusal to present a presidential candidate.
The party hierarchy obviously thought his ambition was a publicity stunt and chose to humor him but recent actions on Bob Dee's part must have alerted them on his seriousness.Little wonder the party chose to distance itself from such discoubulity(Hon Patrick Obahiagbon,i hail oh!)
My verdict:1)Drop those ridiculous red sunshades you wear.
2)I would rather vote two donkeys and a monkey instead.Nigeria might have lost prestige worldwide but still........................................
Your mind is yours to make,that's why you wear clothes!
Beyond the Nigerian jokes and anecdotes,beyond the obvious delight we take in portraying ourselves as exceedingly shameless,beyond our poor education and manners lies an even deeper determination to prove to the world that we could be much worse.
When our cattle rearing brothers from Ilorin and beyond led by the indefatigable yet senile Adamu Ciroma chose a certain Turaki Adamawa;a man facing multiple corruption charges in major capitals of the world;a man rumoured to be on the wanted list of the American authorities;as the consensus candidate(the last time i heard consensus in the same sentence with candidate,a certain dark goggled general with a love for soft Indian thighs was in power and a certain Adamu Ciroma was not far behind) for the north,most observers seriously doubted if they had their bowl of tuwo for the morning!
So,our consensus committee members devoid of the brain sharpening properties of tuwo,have decided to add another embarrassing chapter to the political tale of Nigeria.In less insane countries,the former number two to Baba Iyabo would be in prison playing D.G's cup with fellow inmates while Baba Ciroma would,well,in all honesty,be irrelevant.
But let us spare a thought for those old rascals from the lands beyond the Niger.If you had to choose amongst Atiku,IBB,Saraki and Gusau(who be that guy sef?);two thieves,one nobody and another extra-nobody!The matter tie wrapper no be small!
In a land as vast and diverse as Northern Nigeria,the least we would expect would be an individual with integrity.
If integrity is too much too ask for,then dont bore me with the bland facade of Atiku Abubakar,at least make it interesting and offer up Sani Yerima or Sani Kaita!
In the immortal words of Hon.Patrick Obahiagbon:Nigerian politics has gone beyond sactas simplicitas and evolved on the plain of terra incognitia and parliamentary discobulous!
I dey laugh oh!
