Trump! Another Banger!

Dr. Jarlath Uche Opara Jarlathuche@gmail.com

From day one he hasn’t stopped creating ripples. He hits the ground running the first minute, stepping on toes, shoving them off and hitting them so hard below the belt. The world is talking. Both the mighty and the lowly have their shares. Like a whirlwind wind he keeps moving, raising dust and creating hazy environment everywhere.

His executive orders are riotous. His utterance not too mild and his disposition to his policies unbending.

He talks like a demi god, carries himself like an Alpha and commands like an Omega. He is so confident, his carriage overbearing, with the daring spirit of a Warthog.

He believes he is over and above all, with the power to dominate , subdue, leaving non with no option to challenge him.

The President of the most powerful country? May be he is being delusionary, living in a fake aura of the most powerful? But is he really the most powerful? Deal with this question in a very sincere manner without prejudices. You remember his stance on Covid 19 saga? His vituperous comments on the mendacious intentions of World Health Organisation? Looking back with the power of hindsight has he been vindicated?

He lost as an incumbent. After four years he came back in grandstyle of MAGA dimension. The chill from his policies are ice cold ,causing shivers at all the quarters that in their cupboards are skeletons.

I may not have all the time and space to reel out all his policies, but one thing stands out for me, his insistence that there are two sexes, male and female. Who can beat that? In the world that is gone crazy with transgender and other sexual deviations, what could be more cherring than his reiteration and insistence on God’s plans for humanity originally?

On his executive orders on illegal immigrants and birthright citizenship. These two among others have been the loudest in the public talking drums, affecting my Nigeria folks.

These orders if fully implemented without the legal logs and spanners in its wheels, USA would become less attractive to my Nigerian dudes with Japa syndrome.

Come to think of it, the high level of uncanny predilection that many Nigerians expressed either going to USA for greener pastures or to give birth to their children for USA citizenship is unimaginable. It beats my imagination how we have become too sucked Inn with such mentality, forgetting that what is in sokoto is equally in shokoto if patriotism and discipline are cultivated intentionally.

Nigeria is the only country we have. Running away to America, where the beds are well laid to sleep and snore while ones country swims in obscurity is to my mind very unpatriotic.

Who would fix Nigeria ? Our ancestry heritage would soon go into extinction like the dinosaur. When everybody wants to jump into the next available flight to do the most menial job ,job they probably won’t touch with a longest stick in Nigeria, is ironic.

Nigeria is not a pariah nation. It isn’t a failed country either. It is blessed with both mineral and human resources. Our vegetation very greenish, our land arable. Nature is very kind to us, no earthquake, no Tsunami ,our weather very friendly.

Take the statistics of those who are running things in Nigeria, those who are doing great, the E- money, the Cubanas, the B lord, the Zenco and all the young Nigerians that are doing pretty well, they are all local content, with zero japa syndrome in their system. Japa money is counted with its limitations.

No person with Japa money can do half of what these guys mentioned above can do. 70% of Japa money is for sustainable lifestyle not for massive projects for generational income.

Even with the weakness of naira, many dudes here are doing well , more than those that Japa..

I see Nigeria again in her greatness. I see a country where honey flows, dripping down the elbow of many as they lick their fortunes in their land with no threat of deportation.

I see a country, nations of the world would queque to come and have a bite of the goodies of her fortunes. A country whose passport would command influence globally, having access to nations without visa.

I see a country whose currency will have greater influence than dollar , pounds and Euro. I see a country with a massive potential, raw and loaded, nations would come in droves to partake in. I see a Nigeria of the 60’s and 70′ a land of milk and honey, a country that had no problem with money but how to spend it.

I see a country going back to 1979/1980 era when fifty five kobo (55k) could fetch one one dollar ($1). You may doubt it, laugh over it and make a public caricature of it, the truth is, I see it coming by.

Nigeria will raise again, the bones are coming together, the flesh is forming, the arteries and veins are joining. It may look like a dream that wouldn’t come through, surely it would.

Trump’ policies may be that divine vehicle, that chariot of fire that would transport Nigeria from this place of financial quagmire to a place of eldorado.

Let us stay here, remedy her, fight the vices and demons sucking the blood of this country to extinction. Nigeria is our country, collectively we can make it work. Running away for greener pastures may be nice, but staying to fight for the soul of this country that was once a destination point for these countries that are today our haven, very patriotic .Dry Bones Shall Rise Again! Change the only thing that is constant!!
