#Bring Back Our Bulldog (BBOB)

Published by The Nation on Tue, 21 Oct 2014


In Doyin Okupe,the presidential bulldog roars! And its object of irritation is the BBOG coalition, which keeps on telling the Jonathan presidency the satanic verses it would rather not hear; showing it the hateful self-image it would rather not see!But as a dog barks out of fear and not out of might, the presidential bulldog roars to cover its fear and panic.Bring Back Our Girls has sent Doyin Okupe into a tizzy. On Chibok and its ill-fated girls, Goodluck has murdered sleep, so Jonathan will sleep no moreto parody Shakespeare in his play, Macbeth.But that presidential plight is driving the presidential bulldog irritable and excitable. But alas! Chibok would just not go away!For Okupe, the Chibok saga would appear especially haunting, even on the personal front. The other day, this medic-turned-presidential bluffer was the reported author of the presidents own satanic verse, to cancel out the satanic verse it would rather not see.In an infamous parody of the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls, font-for-font, syllable-for-syllable, Dr. Okupe came up with the thoughtless #BringBackGoodluck2015. But the hare-brained idea drew so much odium, and its mass flak hinted at #ThrowOutJonathan2015, that even the president ordered its immediate scrapping!So, each time Okupe tries to show his loyalty to the chief, in his own peculiarly eerie way, he ends up in shame. Yet, he appears unable or unwillingor bothto learn from his own exclusive debacles.The latest offensive of the presidential battler against the Chibok girls and their parents is his panic twittering. He called for the disbandment of the Bring Back Our Girls coalitionbut who will do that: Police AIG Mbu Joseph Mbu, who for being reported as controversial (well, is he not'), bundled the reporter into gaol' Or the president himself, claiming imperial powers'Mbu may misguide himself that he can, with fiat, abolish citizens rights; and even flatterers may kid Jonathan that, with the famed humongous powers of the Nigerian president, he has powers to change a man into a woman or vice-versa! But as long as Nigerias democracy lives, and everyone plays by the rule, Okupes wish remains a pipe dream and rude nightmare.Still, in the interim, the bulldog is entitled to its barking rights (woof! woof!), even if it is all petulance, bad grace and wilful wishful thinking.The Doyin Okupe tweets, according to a report in The Punch of October 16: BBOG group are a sordid affair; they exploit the national tragedy for selfish gains and seek cheap attention; they abuse and harass Mr. President, roaming the streets of Abuja; they must change their tactics: The present style is neither working nor producing the desired resultssays who' And if that were so, why is the bull dog in such excitable tizzy'And the bulldog-ic sour grape: Their outing with 48 people (so Okupe was busy counting!) on Thursday was a no-show. And the clincher: With the poor and shameful outing by Dr. Oby Ezekwesili and her team, they should be disbanded and asked to go home Mr. President, please #BringBackOurBulldog (BBOB) before it inflicts on itself irreparable harm!]]>
