There were many birthday messages to the man who has chosen to do the craziest job in the world – patching the tire called Nigeria with too many holes everywhere.
With Nigeria, the more you patch, the more the tire leaks.
Some persons even took up adverts in a number of newspapers to congratulate our President. I don’t know whether they were really congratulating Oga or advertising themselves.
I do not mind it o! I have so many friends working in the newspaper business and with a Dasuki, the great benefactor of Nigerian Journalism, out of circulation, one has to wonder where the next salary of my friends will come from.
I actually looked out for a birthday message to our President from Ayo Fayose.
I also looked out for one from Doyin Okupe and Femi Fani Kayode.
Do you recall that these guys never thought that Buhari would ever become President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?
One of them was so sure that the General in one of his trips to the United Kingdom before the elections had traveled in an ambulance and may never make it back.
He even predicted that the man would be wearing pampers if he ever got anywhere near Aso Rock.
I don’t know if they have noticed that the older our President is getting, the younger and stronger he is looking. You have got to admire the man’s current swag.
Let it be said here that while the General is the biggest boy around, he is not the only December boy.
In fact I am hereby reminding all my friends that it is my birthday in three days.
My ‘enemies’ who have prayed that I would not see another December are also reminded that I am still here o! I am still bouncing. Can you see how great and mighty the Lord is?
Please help me pass the message on that despite the love I have for my journalist friends, I do not want any newspaper congratulations on Tuesday.
The young men and women who work with me at COSON have already ambushed me with a mighty cake and some presents. I thank the “Total Boss’’ and his gang for the surprise birthday party.
For the dancing, I am going to the Coliseum tomorrow to join my brother with the Double Engine, the unstoppable Bisi Olatilo who is also a December boy and who is celebrating big time tomorrow.
What would I want? I want Sambo Dasuki’s number. I want to call the man and ask him if there is any small piece of the Dasuki Pie left.
After all, I am a full bloodied Nigerian. Is it because I do not run a TV Station and I am not a publisher, a politician or a ‘Man of God’?
As my former driver would say, “what is good for the goose is also good for Uganda“!
