BY THE OCEAN SIDE (4rm de free-man poems)


Dedicated to
Miss Stephanie Umeanaka

On her 2015 Birthday Anniversary
By
Jubal Free-man Dabo

By the ocean where I stand
Feeling the wind blowing gently
Chilling the heartech pains has brought
Then at once I feel hope restored
A child is born a queen is made.

In the wind the ocean sing
As it sing the waters jump and clap their hands
The mountains danced and hills now rock
The trees whumming shacking their heads.

From afar the birds I hear
Singing gently a majestic chant
A Chant that say a queen is born
Then I saw a moab arrive
Bearing palms as in the days of old.

The whistling bird annouce a Birth
Describing clear the queen at birth

Beautiful
Mighty
Blessed
Favoured
Charitable
Caring
Hospitable
Prudent
Unique
Majestic
Faithful
Fruitful
A blessing to the land.

She moves all eyes where e're she goes
A cat at step an angel at heart
Fank at principles fun to all.

Evalasting is her reign.

(Happy birthday girlfriend)

A Rejoinder to: MUKHTAR RAMALAN YERO ON


The Promise to End Incessant Security Challenges in Southern Kaduna

Toward a critical look at Yero's reactions in our time of murnning and the present primise. Facts or fables.
 (An appeal to reason)

"Abstract"
Òne fact is the admitance of our security challenges as "incessant". By thesame authority who promise to end it months after we have gotten over it consiquencies. Here leaving us no choice but to ask is this a sort of a mockery or what? For it is clear, our once held hope a revealed doom of our existence.

Intro.
Today will mark the second day I beheld this article, i try to ignore it but it jùst will not stop provocking a sense of sympathy to those who become so flexible thàt even a visibly staged drama least the merits of a convinsing fiction take them off the track. Pèrmit me ask:

What Rendered Yero incapacitated before now?

Apeal to reason:
Insecurity in sourthern Kaduna is not a resent issue, infact, it is a dying issue cot-cee the work of nature and the metamphosies of the once Peaceful and forgiving people into a people of the battle field...

Is the wise choice to prevent or to treat. Supposing it is to treat, do you treat when the injury is àt the last stage of healing? I asure u, Great wisdom in the side of Yero is to remain silent and accept things he cannot change.

Yero should attempt a meditation on the following:

when did insecurity became topical in SK?
What is my contribution fòr or against it?
Why was i incapacitated?
Are my resons justified?
How is it possible to fight what i refused to prevent?
Am i justified now?
What is my gain and lost becouse of my being indifferent?
Am i justified?
Are my gains selfish or selfless?
Can i tell my self convinsingly that i am worth what I seek?

Will i vote my like in the case I am a poor citizen?

Note:
Those in southern Kaduna who were to be instrumental in your re-election yero, were all killed in the last attacks, (kaura LG to be presis) the little that remained to help mobilise others to ur favour were the càtualties you segregate upobn when you took the fulani/hausa victims for Better health care servise and left them to fate and the mòuners generosities.
The youth who you would have used for Your campaigns successfully apart from the decievers that surround you to Your doom are the youth Your army boys maltreated unjustly (visit the moro'a encounter)
The Royal fathers who the people would have compromise their grievancies to Your favour at their pleas are those you show a disregard to.

Little wonder, the women who would have gone on their knees for you will rather go necket in a protest against u. (sanga encounter)

Who is to blame Yero?
Whose doom is it now?

#Allyours..

For even if you rig, even if you fource yourself on the people, two facts will never change:

1. It wil not be easy.
2. You wil never have the heart of "Your" people.

I know that is not your problem, but i put it to u. It is you consience's.

Jùst a food for thought....

#Peace KDstate.

"OUR ELDER STATE MAN" AND THE REST OF US: By Jubal Freeman Dabo B. A Rejoinder to "An Open Letter To The People Of Southern Kaduna on Why We Must REMAIN RESOLUTELY IN PDP". BY Allahmagani Yohanna. Published on Kaduna Dreams facebook page BY Adamu Abdullahi


Dear 'Sir'. Allahmagani Yohanna, Principal Private Secretary (PPS) to the Late Governor Yakowa Patrick. I was so amazed by your open latter to us SK people. In the first lines of your letter and by way of introduction you made clear your motive behind the open letter 'as the race toward 2015 is drawing near'. Sir, you are of the opinion that SK "must remain Resolutely in PDP with very beautiful but unsubstantial reasons to back your view. It is good that you and I agree on one fact which is that we in sK 'are known to appreciate if someone has performed, and we do not hide our satisfaction if such share us in the face' (your exact words) but you seem not aware of the fact that we also express our discertisfaction too, we are not bear boot lickers nor praise singers.
Let us look at your said 'general improvement in our lives: on this you start with:
APPOINTMET:
Here you showed how desperate you are even to and extent of attempting providing reasons even where there seem none, you began with the two Chief of defence Staff AGWAI and Chief of Naval Staff Iko. Which you forgot that it is a matter of merits than privilage. Besides, with no Yero's effort. Then the ministerial postions from the late senator  Balat to Mrs. Lawrecia Mallam, which we know are federal appoitments subject to the appointees contribution to the party and society which makes it what I call a "a privilleged right". Deputy Governo of Central Bank, GMD NNPC, DG NEma and National Chairman Sure-P all these you mentioned. You equally said PDP made it possible for Patrick Yakowa to become first ever southern Kaduna governor without telling us which party made it impossible before now. About professor W.B Qurix his VC-ship is also with higher passentage of merits which you know Yero contributed nothing to it.

PROJECTS:
On projects you mentioned many projects as the 2016 thermal power plant in SK, 30mw generated in Gurara dam using a KVA high voltage transmission lines to SK. All these and others are Federal government projects and more so none was initiated by Yero. You claimed YERO appraised ongoing projects across the state and 65% of the ongoing road projects in the state were all SITUATED AT SOUTHERN KADUNA. You never cared to find out why only the southern kaduna based state projects still reamin on the ongoing level, you were concern with the fact that their are ongoing projects without asking why SK should carry 65% single road projects at a perticular time when it is obvious these are a jam-pack of different abandoned projects.
In conclusion you adviced us not 'to ignore glaring DIVIDENDS that our people have benefited from the PDP'.
 Sir. We are not insencere to say we have benefited nothing from PDP but sir, your letter says a lot about your person than the people you fight for.
• PDP is painted in your letter as truthfull than even yourself.
•PDP appear a SK party than you as SK indigine if incase you are.
•you have defind yourself more selfish than a patriot of the land.

WHAT DO YOUR LETTER SUGGEST:
¤it suggest you are afirming that Yero have really not performed.
¤it suggest that you still want Yero back on that seat with or without good leadership.
¤it suggest that you know yero's score card is not enough to get him back to office come 2015.
¤it suggest that you agree Yero has nothing to offer but need to be covered.
And so what did you attempt:
»You attempt to confuse the masses to their doom. What a betrayal.
»You attempt to use the party's "glory" to cover Yero. What an unfaitful player.
»You attempt also to enrich yourself and protect your political carree. What a selfish fellow.
» You attempt to sale the land. What a ??? I just pray not a curse. Worse of all
»You attempt to present PDP as a god and more than God saying: 'made it possible for us to produce a governor" what an unreasonable claim. Who made it impossible?

WHAT YOU SUCCEDED IN DOING:
Yo succeded in telling the world Yero is not any good a leader for Kaduna State, but that he is trying hard to force himself on the. People. You also afirm our doubts on Yero and showed how incapacitated he is in that office as it regards just leadership or even good ledership. You are out there preaching to us counting of blessings and you don't want to see the people who your man turned god has under him as a blessing, little wonder you do with them as your man turned god wills. See how you turned your self deef to the fact that the blessing you want the people to count includes more intellegent and logical sound minds that your games cannot stand.

This is a preaching on faithfulness to a party. As a people has the party been faithful to us over time?
Is the PDP at the national level even same with that at the state level? If same why is it that in the state level she does not recognized the zoning sysytem especially on the gobernoterial seat. Why do you Sir. Yohanna choose to be a scab goat to your unqualified master. In all your years in the PDP Sir have Yero contributed to the party more than you or all others that only him even when it is crystal clear he has nothing to offer should lead? Why cover him to take your birth right.

Let me remained you what you don't want to remember which is the fact that SK has no problem with the PDP at the national level nor at the state level nor do SK have problem with GEJ but not only SK, rather Kaduna state as a whole sees yero as her problem and her doom. The problem will only affect the party in the state level as a whole ony if she insist on Yero returning back for even if she used her usual masures to get him back, one thing is sure, Yero will never win the heart of a people and if he were a good leader; knowing he do not dwell in the heart of the people he would gladly step down for the growth of the state but am sure greed and selfishness added to the bad and false councile the likes of you Sir offer him, he will never step down for good but he is doom to walk the night.

TO YOU "ELDER STATEMEN"
Be truthful when representing the land, whatever you will say and it is as you know not in the interest of the people please keep mute; it saves. It is better to be silent than speack rubish throwing distorted facts an expression of blind sycophancy which clearly definds you not only boot lickers and praise singers but like Kokwain Adamu will say: "Ass Kissers". We have had enough toxic waste in the past do not add to the many we have to garbage out. Above all, bear in mind southern Kaduna have outgrown the age of faifulness to an unfaithful party, our eyes are turned to creadible candidates with total disregard to whatever party the come through. Lastly I repeat. SK have no problem with PDP am sure you know that which is why you used the PDP in your open letter. But we will want an answer as to which party made it impossible for Sk to produce a governor which was made possible by PDP.

PEACE....
