Northern Elders Forum and its Antics once again!

Northern Elders Forum and its Antics once again! Intelligent people know that it would be almost impossible for the shrew to be washed of its stink no matter how hard one tries so it is hard to wash off the Northern Elders Forum and other reactionary Northern groups of its clandestine attempt to prevent President Jonathan from going for a second term guaranteed him by the nation’s constitution. It is simply continuous change of strategy after strategy. The initial strategy was Boko Haram which the Northern elders forum can never completely disassociate itself from without doubt in the mind of any intelligent person considering what NEF has been saying and doing about the activities of the crazy group; was to create a whole lot of trouble to make the Nigeria state ungovernable and probably because the President were unable to handle the situation he would be forced out of office either by resignation or act of parliamentary impeachment but that quickly failed. The next strategy was to attempt a fragmentation of PDP itself which partially worked but it is obvious that the President has quickly repaired the damage and are even gaining new grounds as we speak! The next move was the abduction of several girls from a school in Chibuk. From day one any body with moderate gray matter in his brain knew that the abduction was at the very best a conspiracy between several reactionary northern elements and a particular opposition political party but that strategy has also ran into murky waters as in no time the interest of the globe has been attracted. Now the latest strategy all aimed at flushing President Jonathan out of Aso Rock are two plunged attack, some members of the North attending the national confer is alleging of course dubiously that President Jonathan is gunning for a third tem even though he is yet to get a second term! The second arm of the strategy playing out simultaneously is same NEF giving a crazy ultimatum to the President that on or before October 2015 he the President must have freed the Chibuk girls if the President would get the support of the Northern Elders Forum! What a dubious malicious ultimatum! It is a simple black mail. If the President should fall stupidly to this black mail, see the scenario that would play out: If the President succeed the Northern elders forum would say that it was because of the plodding by NEF and the presidents inordinate quest to remain in power that forced the president to free the girls! On the order hand if the President’s hasty move to satisfy the ultimatum of the NEF led to the death of most or all the girls the Northern Elders forum would say the president and the Nigeria army are incompetent and that the president killed all those girls because of his quest to remain in power! When you put together the combination of these two plunged strategy you will definitely find it difficult to understand that the Northern elders Forum is sure playing games with President but not a particularly bright game man the Northern elders forum are at best now game masters with limited intelligence. The President should ignore their ineffectual ultimatum and rely solely on the advice of military high command on the issue of Chibuk girls. In any case if the Northern elders forum and perhaps the opposition party are bent on playing expulsion politics against our President; even when and if the Chibuk girls are freed, Boko Haram will sooner or later abduct another sets of girls or women to keep NEF and the opposition party on the game table!
