Yar'dua, Jonathan the New Movie

Nigeria has always been a funny country, I will say probably the most entertaining country politically around. If you decide to separate yourself emotionally from the happenings in Nigeria for the past four months, you might be surprise that a Nollywood block buster story is in the making. I mean what is the probability of any of our movie writers thinking up such an explosive, intriguing and attention grabbing story. Every thing is complete in the story, we have the heroin/ lead actor of the movie in the person of Yar’adua. Turai, the beautiful and politically ambitious co- lead actor. Not forgetting the forever lucky Jonathan who is always at the right place at the right time and does not expect his luck to fail him now. Off course there are the bad guys in Aondaka and co who are bent on in fringing on not just the constitution but on common sense. We also have the supporting actors in the form of boot lickers who can’t seem to decide where there bread is most buttered. When Yar’adua was away it was tantamount to sacrilege to hand over the Government to Jonathan, but they could not move fast enough to show there loyalty once Jonathan was sworn in as Acting President. And of course no movie is complete without its extra’s, those that have no say in the movie but are never the less seen but not heard. The Honorable Nigerian public won this challenging and somehow mediocre role. The story is still under production, while we the reviewers wait with bated breathe for the next action. We only pray that in the course of these display of selfish ambition by all parties in the drama, Nigeria does not end up becoming the heroin that that is tragically eliminated.
