No Revolution Here
You would have thought that having spent so many years in the ‘shruggle’, Omoyele Sowore would’ve learnt shruggle tactics. The cardinal principle is that you never make demands except you’re in a position to do damage. Ask Biafraud exponent, Nnamdi Kanu. His radio rants were tolerated until he returned home to ‘actualize’. For a while, Uncle Bubu pretended as usual that he is ‘not aware’ then at the opportune time, he crushed.
Sowore committed the first act of treason when he launched his ‘TakeItBack” movement and cornered 38,000 of Sai Baba’s benigh votes. If the Kano script had been used, those votes would have been discounted into Sai Baba’s account and the heavens would not have fallen. Once is a dare, a second attempt is a declaration of war. Only those with cows are excused such daring.
If you want to be in a position to do anything in Naija and get away with it there are specific things you must do. One; you must join the APC. According to Adams Oshiomole, even corruptly fatted cows could pass through the eye of the APC needle easier than my grandmother could thread her needle. Sowore knows this. His outfit has published so many stories of fatted cows sashaying the corridors of power without scruples.
The other thing is to invest in cows – lots of them. It doesn’t matter whether the cows are gay or barren – they must be cows registered by Miyetti Allah Kautal Horeh. An endorsement by that group makes you untouchable in a manner that would make India’s lowest caste jealous. When it comes to sacred cows, the Indians have nothing on Sai Baba. Herdsmen are above the law; they could do anything and get away with it – yes, including carrying out pogroms, genocides and the odd blue murder.
When herdsmen showed up in Benue, killed 93 people and wiped out several communities or succinctly made the food basket of the nation a basket case, nothing happened. President Buhari
was not ‘aware’. Revolutions are the exclusive birthright of herdsmen and Sowore is not a herdsman.
Not many people know that Ijaw blood flows in Sowore’s vein. Imagine at this trying times when the UN is monitoring our foreign investment if Sowore had bought a few rocket launchers, RPGs and AK47 and mobilized a fraction of his voters, using Sahara Reporters’ video unit, he’d be rolling in dollars. His Royal Highness, King Tompolo was a man like Sowore when President Jones ordered
