A President Who Lacks Empathy !!! WHO ?

Chibok Girls And A Father Who Doesn't Know What It Is like To lose A Daughter

Editor’s note: After the Chibok girls were... kidnapped from their school on April 14, 2014. It took almost a month for President Goodluck Jonathan to acknowledge that the girls were missing. After pledging to find the schoolgirls, the president displayed apathy and nonchalance towards fulfilling his hollow promises of rescuing them. In so doing, Jonathan exhibited that he is a father who doesn’t know what it is like to lose a daughter.

Story highlights:

- The day Jonathan failed to write his name with a golden pen

- Chai chai, there is God o

- History will always be remember Jonathan as a president who failed to deliver when it mattered most

April 15, 2014, was a day President Jonathan failed to write his name in gold, it was a day our president chose to pursue parochial interests rather than national interests. That day and in the weeks to come, Jonathan occupied himself with playing the blame game and fighting hard to dismiss the news that over 200 school girls were kidnapped from their school by Boko Haram.

But his blame game could not change the grim reality that on  April 14, 2014, Boko Haram struck the town of Chibok, Borno state and ferried away more than 200 female students from their school in the dead of the night.

What followed next was an array of insensitive arguments by the president and his supporters that the Chibok kidnap was all a ploy hatched by the opposition to discredit his inept administration. Championing this insensitive ideology  was Patience Jonathan, the first lady, who came on television insulting our sensibilities with grammatical bazooka’s and shedding crocodile tears screaming: Na only you waka come, principal, chai chai there is God o, while Boko Haram was busy ferrying the girls far beyond reach of their loving parents.
