In the past one month, Senator S. Sani a senator of the federal republic of Nigeria from Kaduna state also used animal figures to express his disgust with the Nigerian Leadership. After weeks of observing the power play taking place in Nigerian presidency in the absence of Buhari the president of Nigeria, he released a statement as follows,
"'Prayer for the absent Lion King has waned;Until he's back then they will fall over each other to be on the front row of the palace temple. Now the hyenas and the jackals are scheming and talking to each other in whispers;still doubting whether the Lion King will be back or not. Now the Lion king is asleep and no other dare to confirm if he will wake up or not. Its the wish of the Hyenas that the Lion King never wakes or come back so that they can be kings"
Some observers were saying that the outspoken Senator used the word Hyenas and Jackal to illustrate that his political rival who is leader of his state is an opportunist hoping to pounce on the kills of the Lion King(Buhari) that seems to have fallen asleep on top of the food.
Shortly after that press release, Aisha the wife of Nigeria's president came back from a visit to her husband obviously not happy with the condition of the president and not sure whether calling her husband Lion king is out of support or rebuttal, reacted in her own animal language as follows:
'God has answered the prayers of the weaker Animals, The Hyena's and the Jackals will soon be sent out of the kingdom .
We strongly believe in the prayers and support of the weaker animals.
Long live the weaker animals, Long live Nigeria'
Aisha's message made different meaning to different people because she had openly expressed her disapproval of the kind of men and women that have taken over the running of the government and once said that she will not ask any woman to vote for her husband again. Therefore to die hard supporters of Buhari, it was a positive message that Buhari is doing well, but to the die-hard opponents, it was a sign that Buhari will soon relinquish the power altogether and deprive the opportunists any access to the corridors of power.
Again the senator went to market and came up with a statement that deviated from the original discussion. He implied that the ex president Jonathan and his cohorts were like python and anacondas. These pythons and anacondas were removed from power by equally dangerous animals like boars and vipers who promised to take Nigeria out of the thorn infested forest. He implied that after those bigger snakes were removed those that lost out in that election have so far become even more united than the winners and that in order to silence the losers the winners needed to be talking to each other and become united.
"The Anaconda and the Python once ruled the Forest;they ruled unjustly and brutally,
The Cobras,the Vipers,the mambas,the Boars merged and promised to take the inhabitants of the forest out of the forest of thorns to the promised forest of roses; and they dethroned the Anaconda and the Python.Then the forest was stuck with the Losers talking at each other and the winners not talking to each other.The Winners must talk to each other before the losers stop talking at each other."
After following the irreverent vituperations, Reno Omokri an ex aide to Nigeria's former president and also a Pastor released a long article to show that Nigeria has totally derailed. He cited the numerous injustice and crises facing Nigeria and prominent people in Nigeria especially the wife of the president is busy describing Nigerians as animals. He reiterated that those animals are far lower than human being in the food chain. He fell short of calling Fela Kuti a prophet. We all remember that Fela in his numerous musics referred to our military leaders especially Buhari in in derogatory words like "Zombie", "Animal in human body" etc
"Nigeria is facing unprecedented floods with no solution, secession threats, quit notices, hyperinflation, Naira losing value and at this critical time the First Family chooses to reference us with Animal innuendo! How did we go from ‘my ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian’ to being called Dogs, Baboons, Hyenas and Jackals? How did this happen? It is now I believe that Fela Kuti was a prophet of sorts".....
All Nigerians should in deed speak with one voice " We are not animals. We are better and superior to cows. we are better than Pythons, anacondas, boars and baboons, Oh my God. We really need prayers in Nigeria
