Charlie Boy's Farewell Message To Late Former President Shehu Shagari

Charlie Boy & Late Shagari

Dear SHEHU SHAGARI,

Thank you for everything, I wish you eternal rest, you deserve it. You don try, you don't belong in this place. As you officially join the league of ancestors, please if you see Tafawa Balewa, tell him that his sons are carrying guns against Nigerian State.

Tell Yar'Adua that the amnesty he granted is now business for the privilege few, causing wahala everywhere. Please if you see Ojukwu, tell him that his brothers and sisters are expecting another program. Tell Awolowo that Nigeria is now more divided and preparing for another war. Tell Nnamdi Azikiwe that those things that made him cross the ocean 100 times seeking for peace are coming back.

Obviously you will not see Abacha, but if you see anyone that sees him, please tell him that Al'mustapha his main man is out of kirikiri prison, tell him that even Obasanjo came out of prison and became President. Please try to see Baba Fela, biko tell him that we are no longer suffering and smiling, we are suffering and dropping dead daily.

Tell MKO Abiola that another June 12 is looming and his kinsmen no longer speak with one voice. I know you will see my father, Justice Oputa, tell him am holding ground and that I miss him, tell him not to worry about me. But don't forget to remind him that justice can no longer be found in Nigeria, its's for the highest bidder.

Tell Gani Fawehimi Senior Advocate of the Masses, that corruption is now official, tell him that even prosecution and conviction of Politicians who are looting the country dry is selective. Tell him that Mike Ezekome now defends known treasury looters...kai.

Please don't fail to tell Chinue Achebe not to be disappointed in Nigeria, it's just that since he left to join the league of ancestors, THINGS FALL APART, Nigeria is NO LONGER AT EASE and the ARROW OF GOD is now pointing seriously at Nigeria because of THE TROUBLE IN NIGERIA, even though we've had MAN OF THE PEOPLE like you, but when we cast our minds back to the good old days, indeed we remember THERE WAS A COUNTRY.

As you join the league of ancestors, SHAGARI rest in peace.
