Above are two pictures. One is of a cartoon character with wild eyes, a crazed look, penchant for lecturing and a fervent zeal to educate the masses. The other is of course Dora the Explorer – a popular TV show for children.
I have been amazed over the past few weeks about the number of articles (planted??) in newspapers and magazines praising our erstwhile Minister for (Dis) (Un) (No) (Wrong) – take your pick – Information with regards the memo she wrote asking for support to oust Yardy and get Goodluck enshrined.
Apparently after a whole two months and more she woke up one morning with her conscience pricking her to make a stand. Hence her “inspired” memo. She has been called a voice a reason, a true citizen, an ambassador for truth and other such rubbish that we Nigerians are prone to throw at any elected person who actually does anything remotely connected to their job.
Well here is my view. I reckon that Aunty D. got inside info that Yardy would not be returning in exactly the same format in which he had left the country. He left the country in VHS format and will be returning in Beta. i.e. old, outdated, gone. Being Minister of Info I suspect she was actually given this info or tipped off in one way or another. This I feel was the fuel that ignited her conscience and fired her up to her act of unrivalled bravery.
For me the day she delivered the memo was the day I knew that Yardy was a goner from this mortal coil because you see there is no way Aunty D. would have dared step out of line if there was a chance in Sokoto that Yardy would return. Remember she has been on every single leaked list of Ministers for the chop whilst he was still of full cranial functions. So getting the news that he had ceased to be so Presidential in demeanour she quickly hatched her plan to get into Uncle Goodluck’s good books. She is obviously more than a pretty face our Aunty D.
My mole tells me that not long too long after the memo Aunty paid one of those courtesy visits, so beloved of the favour seeking, to Uncle G to commiserate with him on his time in limbo and to assure him that all would be well and the of course she would be standing shoulder to shoulder with him through thick and thin (and his first cabinet reshuffle) once he got himself in the driver’s seat. She also offered to make him a special stew from her part of the country. I understand he politely declined both offers. He has already won me over.

To top it all off she then had to deal with a jolt from the king of darkness himself - our former Attorney General who seemed to imply that all had not been tickidy boo at NAFDAC whist she was in charge. Ouch that must have hurt. To have someone with whom snakes and other belly crawling reptiles are loathe to be compared to cast aspersions on your name and character?
Well how low can you go? This game of politics is definitely not for toddlers. Is it Aunty?

I agree with you 100%.
I also smelt some dirty poli-tricking going on.
ouch.
mrs rebrand, someone labelled worse than a worse.
say no more really.
...to have someone with whom snakes and other belly crawling reptiles are loathe to be compared with...
Now THAT has made my day. Thanks so much.
VHS and Beta-lol.
Yeah politics is not for toddlers and I am sure Dora isn't one. We cnnot always ask honest and upright people to leave politics we must encourage as many as possible of these people of integrity to participate in politics for total overhauling of the system to be possible.
I strongly disagree with you. Our sense of not applying good fate is one of the problems we have. Yes Dora took forever to respond wht information did she have and did not have. Your position as a citizen outside the corridor of power is fuelled by continous assumptions, and other factors which are inherent in our system did not help mattter, next gave us news from postion of assumtptions, rather than news with collaborative tale.
The truth Yaradua maybe dead brain, but the FEC did not see it that way, who is Dora to respond based on assumptions. The woman responded after hw many days? so dont blame Dora she has done well and she is not an opportunist has u have portrayed her rather everyone of you and us have remained opportunist rather than create opportunities.
I get pained and angered by self righteous nigerians, some our parents have been in positions what did they do, we have had parents that were ministers, commissioners, Vice chancellors, senators etc what did they do.. so you dare not question Dora's bravery and committement to the life of common Nigerians
All against are named and shamed but the only one for chooses to remain anonymous and then has the audacity to fingerpoint. Well ....that says it all.
"special stew from her part of the country"
he-he-he!!!
"To have someone with whom snakes and other belly crawling reptiles are loathe..."
You sure you don't write poetry in your spare time?
Anonymous, let me tell you something you cannot count as assumption, except on Dora's side: At the onset of the Moutallab debacle, she said that Moutallab SNEAKED into Nigeria on his was to the US where he had attempted to blow up a plane (emphasis mine). Pray tell, the dude has a green passport, how can you SNEAK into your own country? It was not as if he is an illegal undocumented immigrant. He is a citizen, born and bred. The problem I see with the chick, Dora that is, she is well uninformed.
Toksie: You differentiation between the two Dora's was funny. Did you notice you called the human one a cartoon character? Abi I misread?
@BMC - na my artistic license i use to juxtapose the two. So you read am correct.No be cartoon she be? Did you see her shaking George Bush's hand at the This Day thing. My goodness the poor man (never thought I would ever say that) was lucky to escape with his arm still attached.
Oh Toksy toksy, u ve done it again.Right on the head. And ANONYMOUS..........the day mrs nafdac started with this nonsense was the day i knew our presido is dead even a mumu who "is not in the corridors of power" knew it. also dear anonymous,u accuse someone of assuming, why do u assume too that the man is brain dead?? or do u have assess to yaradua???loll... u would do well to tell us if u have...
