Pendulum by Dele Momodu, published on today's Thisday Newspaper. Read below...
Your Excellency please let me start by emphasising the fact that this
is my very first letter to you since destiny elevated you and your
husband to the highest positions in Nigeria. It may be the last before
your tenure expires on May 29, 2015, and another begins with you or
someone else in the saddle. Despite all the controversies engulfing you
and your husband, I had resisted the temptation of writing you in the
past for several, if not many, reasons. Kindly permit me to expatiate a
bit.
I’m a great admirer of strong, confident and energetic women who cannot
be bullied by the galaxy of male chauvinists that litter the political
landscape of Africa. As someone who was brought up by my amazing mum,
Omo Arotiwebiojo, an unlettered woman and petty trader, I knew what it
took to survive in a particularly difficult terrain. Indeed, whilst some
have impugned you for your so-called lack of command of the English
language, I have remained partial to you because, like most of us,
English is not your first language, and your contributions have enriched
our home-grown lexicon! I can therefore imagine what you and our dear
beloved President must have gone through together, in thunder,
lightning, rain and sunshine. The hurly-burly of life must have thrown
you hither and thither when there was no one else around to share in
your secret pain and anguish. But it must have pleased God in His
infinite mercy to raise you and your husband up, like Jesus did to a
dead Lazarus, as original examples of uncommon transformation.
I must say, Ma, that I have a soft spot for you for other reasons. I
was told on good authority that you were a more formidable politician
and mobiliser of people and resources than your husband. A few of your
friends often regale how you have been a solid pillar and a rock of
Gibraltar behind the love of your life, Dr Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe
Jonathan. It is said that you’re willing to sacrifice your all for his
sake and he has also reciprocated by according you humongous respect and
granting you such vast powers that make onlookers see you as a de facto
President in your own right. To God be the glory.
I vividly recollect your relationship with the former First Lady, Hajia
Turai Yar’Adua. You gave her tremendous respect and your taciturnity
was legendary. Not much was heard from you at that time and not many,
except probably Bayelsans, ever suspected that you had so much buried
inside your heart and that you were only waiting for the opportune time
to vomit them. Even in the days of tribulations when the cabal held sway
and grabbed our nation by the jugular, you and your husband handled the
volatile situation with maturity and remarkable equanimity. Some of us
were ready to fight your battle, and risked our lives, because we saw
you as the underdogs who must be rescued from the fangs of the political
hyenas. We were further emboldened by the facts of your husband’s
man-in-the-street story, a fairy-tale of sorts about a man from the
Otuoke manger who had no shoes. We were not just titillated but
fascinated by such flashes of inspiration.
Against all odds, your husband became the substantive President and
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria after the demise of
President Yar’Adua. Nigerians were happy about the smooth transition of
power and they even boasted that for the first time we had not just
another graduate but a PhD holder as President. Sooner than later, as
time sped by, it was time for your husband to run his own race.
Nigerians from all walks of life queued behind him and he won without
much ado. The goodwill he garnered was awesomely massive and the people
were very expectant about the “fresh air” promised by him. Of course, to
whom much is given, much is expected.
It is nearly four years since that momentous occasion and it is time
for a re-examination and re-election. But what should have been a simple
walk-over for your sweetheart seems to have developed k-leg. While your
husband and those close to him would want us to believe he is Nigeria’s
best President ever, many Nigerians feel he has under-performed and
would want to try someone else. I have seen you and your husband waka up
and down this nation campaigning like no man’s business. Many have
likened the exercise to a student engaging in last minute agberu
(memorising) after failing to do so all along. This is the crux of my
epistle to you today.
I have read and heard so much about you as a very powerful First Lady. I
know that when you are at that level, not many people can tell you the
gospel truth. No one wants to offend those in power. But I have decided
to tell you the bitter reality once and for all. I’m not writing out of
any malice, since none can exist between us. But for the sake of
posterity, which I know beckons as always; the fact must be told to you.
The summary of what I’m about to say is that you and your husband have
frittered away most of your goodwill. Had you retained your humility in
power, may be you could have avoided this commotion and conundrum of
trying to achieve in two months what you couldn’t in about five years.
You would probably have avoided the tragedy of trying to manipulate the
electoral process, buying more time and doing a catch-up on lost
grounds.
If the actuality must be told Ma, the whole trouble started the day you
publicly ridiculed the Governor of your home state. It was reported
that you yanked a microphone out of his hands and lambasted him like a
recalcitrant school boy. In order not to cause mayhem right there, the
Governor was said to have left you to your tantrums and went home
quietly like a penitent student. That day, you sowed the seed of discord
that would later germinate and snowball into a consuming fire. Though
the Governor and your husband like true gentlemen chose to carry on
their damaged relationship as if all was well, but the worst was on the
way.
The battle for the soul and control of your state would later spread to
Abuja where your husband began to see the Governor as an enemy who must
be cut down to size. In the process of trying to achieve that dream,
more Governors joined the fray and in a jiffy, the centre could no
longer hold. I do not want to go into some obvious details as I’m sure
you know about the intrigues of power more than me. But I must give one
more example of how you laid the foundation for today’s grand alliance
against your husband.
Let me put it this way. Never in the history of Nigeria have I read of a
First Lady responding to criticisms in the frontal manner you attacked
Professor Wole Soyinka over an issue that you could easily have ignored.
That singular act of unrestrained combativeness was one of your worst
public relations gaffes. Wole Soyinka is one of those global icons that
you can’t take on and win. If for nothing, here was a man who at about
76 years of age trekked under the scorching sun of Abuja to defend the
rights of your husband when many of the acolytes around you today were
nowhere to be found. You were not supposed to repay such selfless
gestures with verbal blows. That was when you finally lost me and I’m
sure many others.
Let me remind you that virtually all Nigerian leaders have been
disparaged at one time or the other. It is one of the heavy prices to
pay in compensation for the privileges of leadership. Just imagine how
much some of us attacked President Ibrahim Babangida, Chief Ernest
Shonekan, General Sani Abacha and others over the June 12 crisis. None
of their wives ever hit back at the critics no matter the degree of
provocation. In fact, they acted perfectly normal and even tried to
build bridges of friendship instead of bombing the castle. I remember
with fond memories, Dr (Mrs) Maryam Ndidi Babangida, who remained
graceful to the very end. Mrs Maryam Abacha endured the most blistering
attacks against her husband in life and death. She has since reconciled
with many of her husband’s vociferous enemies. Hajia Turai Yar’Adua was
subjected to virulent criticism by many, and I confess I was one of her
knockers in the dying throes of the cabal, but she wisely kept her own
counsel and declined to join issues with anyone. When it dawn on her
that the battle was lost and won, she packed her baggage out of Aso Rock
without as much as a whimper.
If Justice Fati Abubakar was a selfish woman and a poor adviser to her
husband, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, she would have insisted that they
should not quit power within the one year he promised to hand over to a
democratically-elected President. That government had more than enough
resources to buy the ubiquitous array of mercenaries but General
Abubakar chose to go in peace and not in pieces. It was such a rarity in
Africa and till this day the General is still enjoying a standing
ovation for his vision.
I must also mention specifically Mrs Stella Obasanjo, whose husband has
always had a running battle with the media and yet she maintained
steady media frenzy in her own kingdom. She was everyone’s friend and
continues to be fondly remembered even in death. I recollect one
occasion when we travelled to Beverley Hills, USA, with her, and her
simplicity just wowed everyone. She made sure we jumped in the cars and
buses and headed out to a night club owned by Don Cornelius. She was so
down to earth. On her last trip to Ghana before her unfortunate death, I
had gone to pay her a visit at M-Plaza hotel where she and President
Obasanjo stayed. Despite my frosty relationship with her husband, we sat
in one corner chatting away as the President attended to his own
visitors. She never got involved in our endless battles with Baba. I
have cited these examples to show that you and your husband are not
alone in the barrage of criticisms and attacks. You must rise up way
above such pedestal. But sadly, you have not been able to allow any
comment pass you by, no matter how mundane.
I decided to write this open letter after the spate of vocal terror you
deployed in the last few days against your husband’s opponents. In case
some praise-singers told you lies that what you did was right, I wish
to assure you that you’ve done almost irreparable damage to your
husband’s presidential campaign. I will now proceed to paraphrase about
three of those satanic verses that escaped from your tongue this week
alone, but not in any particular order.
The first shocker was when you said before a crowd that those shouting
the mantra of Change are not serious and that as a matter of fact they
should be stoned anywhere they shout Change! I thought it was a joke
until the video went viral. The next one was when you spoke
dispassionately about how your husband should be praised and thanked for
improving the welfare of the menacing Almajiri kids in Northern Nigeria
but you then went astray by insensitively and inconsiderately saying
that the Northerners are fond of bearing children with reckless abandon
and throwing them on the streets to fend for themselves. You went
further to say such things don’t happen in the part of Nigeria you come
from. I think that wasn’t very nice or tactful.
The last straw for me was when you declared matter-of-factly that your
husband’s main challenger, Major General Muhammadu Buhari should not be
voted in because he is “brain dead”, according to you. That was
extremely malevolent and sinister, to say the least. It is not an
elegant language to be used by any lady not to mention the First Lady
and certainly not about a former Head of State of the same country that
you are governing and from whose citizens you are seeking a second term
in office. However, I believe that this may have been an innocent quip.
Whilst some may be willing to forgive such naivety, it is essential for
you to quickly assure Nigerians that you meant no harm and that despite
the ill-feeling and bitterness that politics and electioneering may
engender you wish no evil to any man least of all your husband’s leading
rival and contender. There is nothing wrong in admitting your mistake
of commission or omission. It is actually a sign of strength.
In conclusion, I think you need to offer urgent apologies for those
unguarded, unbecoming statements and try to be more circumspect in the
future. One of your best appellations that I love most sincerely is that
of Mama Peace. Please, don’t change it to Mama War …!
May God continue to bless you and yours.

wow !!! nice words from DELE MOMODU.the most beautiful part is his choice of words ,so mature! Well,i think the word is not only for the first lady but for everyone to be cautious of what we say all in the name of politics.Lets be real with our thoughts and words or Actions.
Violence is not the answer but love and unity of our entire populace .
GOD BLESS MY DEAR COUNTRY NIGERIA FOR UNITED WE STAND !!!
A very constructive, sensible, matured and unpolitical. I will advise the First Lady to heed to his advice.
Patience Jonathan uses human beings as sacrifice to enable her husband get what they want, that Was Why she always promise her husband and the man thrust her because she always deliver .
Am very pleased with this candid write up, thanks again for being so confident & courageous to write this open letter, may God enrish you with long life & sound health. Nigerians needs more of ur likes. Thumbs up!
Gbam!
Word!
Well said.
This is indeed an epistle. Dele momodu would have hit d nail on d head than writing and reminding us of dead issues. Anyways he is so right. Never heard that anyone got choked by swallowing their pride. So P baby swallow ur pride and apologize.
Lol. True talk tho.
Words. This man wrote well. I love the manner he wrote this, without disrespecting her person.
Busy Fingers.
God bless you Mr Dele Momodu...you have spoken our minds.
Politics things jooor. Very one looking for favour here n there.
Politics things jooor. Very one looking for favour here n there.
Nicely written and i cocncur with everything written here. Mama peace doesn't speak like a lady she speaks anyhow cuz she feels she's above d law. I wonder how her husband keeps up with her.
This is very nyc piece
Did Madam Jonathan actually say that Northerners are fond of giving birth to kids they can't take care of??????...I hope not i will investigate and if it is true then we port
Really my guy ?
You've got lots of free time for you to write this . Was that for the first lady to read and understand or just..........I don't even know what to write .
Mama peace, hmm...we have people whose brain and mind can download and store things .
If truly you used those words he said , Then is time to fire everybody around you, including your friends .
People hang on our leaders words as hope for a better tomorrow , if at all you used those words, then sit down and cook up a better story and explain yourself in a better way .
Thank God am not supporting any one or my heart will be racing like Olympic runners !
Dele Momodu, every discerning Nigerian knows that you are just a rabble rouser. Where were you when Jonathan was called ogogoro master, clueless and kindergarten president by your fellow APC apologist. The First Lady has the same right to return the favour by telling your paymasters the bitter truth. If you've been to the far North, you will see that that word "family" is not in their lexicon. How can you have children that you do not have intention to cater for. Dele Momodu, keep to your photography job and stop poking nose into other people's affair.
Nicely written n so true !
forget this man...APC talking
Long story, d long & short of it is dt mama peace shld refrain 4rm replying any form of criticism/insults targeted @ her or d hubby, she shld learn 4rm her hubby, her name is patience bt ironically d hubby has more patience dan her. Is wrong 4 her 2 utter any insultive words against d hubby's rival, she can afford 2 mk a constructive criticism nt vomiting rubbish. #teamGEJ#4dluvofcountry
may GOD ALMIGHTY BLESS U SIR, FOR SUCH TRUTH AND COURAGE ADVICE,WHICH MANY FRIENDS FAIL TO TELL MAMA PATIENT
Her unquotable quotes will go down as some of the most ridiculous statements ever uttered by any human on earth. It ruins peace, destroys civility and provides a vivid idea of what goes on in Aso rock. So unfortunate!!!!!!
a word is enough for the wise... this collection of words should work for her excellency .
The woman is the down fall of her husband. She no get home training, she is a bastard without parents herself so what do you expect. That is why we have to be careful who we select as president from this time onwards. This classless First Lady is uncultured and worse her husband is a suegbe! A man that let's his wife push him around.

Well said Dele

Too grammatical for madam and even for me.
Too long for me
Nice talk more wisdom from elder Dele momodu.
An absolutely splendid piece. I thoroughly enjoyed reading every line of it, and I would not hesitate to recommend it as a must read to all.
Thanks for your epistle. You have definitely spent a really long time in the corridors of power.
However, I think the lady said - some old people might be brain dead.
who is this one seeking for appointment, Oga i know too well that u were paid by APC Dead party..BUHARI IS FOUNDER OF BOKO HARAM, BUHARI IS BOKO HARAM EVIL MAN. Oga be careful the way you write your long note about your First Lady. FOOL
Wow this is the first time am eve gonna comment on this Blog... Thank You Dele... God bless you...
Nice 1 dele momodu,I tink d 1st lady wil take ammedament to all u ve said,I pray,she understands it d way u c it also
Hope she would listen...!
OMG, u ve said it all.she who have ears should hear.mama peace go and render apologies to GMB.
Chaai.am short of words.
Mama Peace is a retard, she can't comprehend this. You should have written it in pidgin
Linda thanks for posting this piece of words from Oga Dele. i like the concluding part of the message, not to turn Mama Peace into Mama......what a great advice!
by Wale tomtom
I was just having this discussion with my husband a few days ago. There is a way you can support your husband and be graceful about it. With everything Obama has gone through and is still going through, you will never see Michelle Obama come out and talk like a market woman. She lets her husband be the Man he is, in public. She even earns her respect from the Replublicans.
Her speeches disgust me if late! So unbeffiting of a first lady.
Not in this world will Faka withdraw whatever came out of her mouth. She's too big for that, she's to powerful to apologize
Nice epistle
All these letter writers, u can channel this same energy to make dis country better by advising and supporting the person in power not heating up d country with so much opposition. Anywatmys Mama Peace, u are mother of sis nation for now, pls with all due respect, always tink b4 u tlk ma. Tnk u
#Linda'schiefbridesmaid
No apology needed. She spoke the truth. Momodu should stay in Ghana and leave Maija politics alone.
Dele u v spoken well, but hp they ll not come for ur balls.
U nailed it Sir....kudoos! plz sum1 shud brk it down for mama peace.
Is he for or against her? Watchin
Go and die you fat fool. Who is Dele again? Taaaa fat face fool with 2 face. Have u forgotten what u said about buhari so soon? How many letters have you fool written to those who have been calling d president names since. Where u not there when GEJ n d wife were called all kinds of names. You never bordered to write any of ur stupid letter it's now u want to show ur self abi.
Linda.....show my comment ooo
Wow!...Like....,wow!..Beautiful piece!
Very Gud one. Dele Momodu hit the nail on the head. Someone shud advice Patience Jonathan cos life will return to normal after their tenure .
Best write up!!!
Well articulated letter.I wish that she is forgiven.knowing how some women can talk.I still love our First Lady.
Well said Sir. A dog that will go astray will not hear the whistle of the owner. You are very generous to d first lady. Hopefully, she will take your advice. She most certainly will not.
i will find time to read it completely
#Commenting thru Glo 4G LTE

Nice piece from Dele Momodu
Nice writeup devoid of personal attacks.
Dele tanx for telling mama peace aw it is. She feels as if na she sabi talk pass, n na u dey ruin gej career. U always want feel like an orator while ure not close to one. No worry ur end don almost reach. If GMB decides to reply u nd calls u barren u go turn am into anoda story say he no respect u meanwhile na u b d causer.

A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE,.. That`s actually a wise counsel for anyone that`s ready to listen.
Dele mamodu funny enough she is ruling till 2019 the high time u know this the better for u,save the heartbreak, there is nothing u write that will change anything, u are still under her till 2019
shez gona nid a translator for this shit..too much grama mehn..
She could actually be charged to court for that statement! In law it is called violation of information, that is saying what is not because that way so many people can think he is actually brain dead and might affect his relationship with people. Some one has won a similar case. #fact.
I just can't imagine the effrontery of that woman . She goes about ranting and barking like a wounded dog. You people are not coming back no matter what. We need a change .
*Linda. Dele is a member of AGIP(Any gov in power)as he is always around the corridors of power. This essay is a brilliant one and I hope mama peace takes on the advice. Dele should have written this 2 years ago. Its quite late now that they are sure to lose the election.
Hmmmmm well said sir
Truly said. I was chocked d day I heard her saying buhari was brain dead. Well all in the name of politics. God help niger
Well said sir..

Very stupid writer. You should have complained then and see if you won't be either executed or locked up in prison. Too quick to forget the past. Foolish generation!
i took my time to read this article ..infact dele momodu is articulate and very spot on..in Wrestlemania this is what we call Combo Breaker..trying to imagine what could be running through the hearts of the incumbents after reading this lets see if FFK would respond moreover Etcetera should learn from Dele momodu on how to write infact he should take it to him for editing before publishing mumu singer turn writer God Bless Dele momodu he deserves an Ovation for this..Boss!
DELE MOMODU HAS JUST DECLARED WAR ON HIMSELF WITH MRS PRESIDENT.
I AM WAITING FOR THE RETURN MATCH.
Abeg ppl wey read am, Wetin him talk?
Etcetera are you reading this article to see how to attack without hurting indirectly? you think its to carry pen to write everyone can write but applying brain power and skill is what matters. infact you have made yourself an enemy in the industry with your fellow guys you started together with..better go clean your guitar and start off but this time something more up tempo and not those drab draggy sluggish mumu tunes...
I won’t read a letter this long normally but if it’s from Dele Momodu, it must be interesting.
points.....
1. It was reported that you yanked a microphone out of his hands and lambasted him like a recalcitrant school boy (mama peach yanke mic from a governor?!!!!!!!!!) I did not know about this.
2. The first shocker was when you said before a crowd that those shouting the mantra of Change are not serious and that as a matter of fact they should be stoned anywhere they shout Change (mama peace wants us stoned?!!!!!!!!)
3. The Northerners are fond of bearing children with reckless abandon and throwing them on the streets to fend for themselves (mama peace choose to insult people that may vote for her husband?!!!!!!!!!!!)
I said it before, GEJ should check this woman, now she is gradually ruining his campaign and any hope of him having a sincere victory.
I read dis write up from d beginning to d end. Love every word, every sentence. This should get to Mama Peace, and i pray she learns from it. Kisses to Dele Mohmodu
Dont worry guys i know whats on your mind ..FFk would call up the boss and i could imagine him saying "oga she has marred our chances isnt there something we can do to keep her away from the public and let me do my Job..
Those who would find this article boring are those who are killing this nation you will not read to be powerful yet you want the good things of life let me hear anyone complaining that this article is too long ..rubbish..!!
Nice one...I hope she understands all d big big words on d letter... Mrs jonathan u be disgraz to nigerian and nigerians..
The irreparable damage is done already!
Who will translate your epistle to Okrika dialect as you wrote too high above her head!
I love this article,bravo sir Dele
Mama peace will not understand this one o
You would have use pidgin English to write it
Well
The statement is very intelligent
And right
I think mama peace should heed to this
Ovation to the Boss.....let them digest this and see the angle they will shoot from we are all watching desperados!
infact mama has ruined everything...bhet why!!!
I am very proud of your comment dele.i know we love empowerment but it shouldn't be abused.i wish she could apologise but she won't. She is uncultured.
Chief Dele Momodu the photographer... This your letter wouldn't have gotten to the First Lady if it wasn't for God sent Linda Ikeji.. Thanks to Linda.. You've spoken well in Okonkwo's voice but let me remind you that it's almost a wasted time writing that letter based on who it's being directed to. Madam Patience Jona is someone who is always right.. Even when she's wrong. Our President would've won this election quietly without going through huddles if Patience has taken her course.. she don shit full church.. This letter won't change anything about her.. Before you wrote this, Some persons must've told her how she's been messing up.. But she's recalcitrant and wouldn't listen.. There's difference between a child that knows that his parent are rich than a child who the parent told they are rich.. Patient Jona is always reminded of her position by those followers of hers whom are seeking for help in one way or the other. so, she its intoxicate her whenever she's in public.. Imagin someone who's been in the creek finding her self in the limelight without undergoing difficulties.. Imagin the husband who had no shoes, talk herself without high heels.. now that she's rocking presidential akpola (old skool wedge). I can bet you that that woman sometimes don't recall that she's a mother and that people are watching and hoping on her to behave proper and sound sane. I think this letter would've made more sense if you had written it the next day she insulted Buhari..that was absurd though.. Moreover, it's obvious that whatever words she must've used during campaign is basically for campaign purposes.. it's just a way of shading off the opponent and making the voters have more reason not to vote the opponent.. We don't need more letters. We need prayers that God should help our country and rescue Nigeria from the hands of these self centered and greedy politicians of our time. In other news, I'm not in support of The First Lady for using such words. Chief Dele Momodu, please kindly continue with your Ovation Magazine and give less time to Presidential race because your products are few in the market right now. You were once my motivation till you diverted your attention by trying to become the President of Nigeria.. Thank you for you're far too kind by writing the First Lady through Linda.. Linda na you and Dele carry una self come? These letters you people are writing, diaris God ooo

I LOVE THIS PIECE. Dele Momodu has done a great service to her excellency if only she and her praise singers will be humble enough to learn.
Lovely. A word is enough for the wise
Wow!!!!! Very intelligent way to table it down 2 her,she should really learn from past 1st ladies,stella is one grt woman
Mr Momodu should please quit with his holier-than-thou and i-know-it-all attitude every other Saturday. Yes mama peace went overboard with Buhari but Mr. Momodu wont be saying these things if he was invited to be part of GEJ's government. The same applies to Nasir Elrufai.
good i completely agree with dele, good feedback technique dele.....
hmmmm nice write up from dele momod, i pray she read or whoever will read to her make her understand, cos is another to read another to understand. that power is realy pushing her.

Good advice! But bitter truth be told, why Momodu had not advised Buhari to apologise to Nigerians, not only Mr President, for saying that Mr President's government would be ungovernable when he lost in 2011 Election? I hate negative sentiments as if the adviser is more moral.
Well said!
Oh dear! Thank you sir! Someone needed to let her know.... if u ask me i fink she doesnt hv manners, u know.Seriously!
Looong makes sense tho while but too much beating around the bush. My bis question is this, will the recipient "the first lady" be able to read this? Or even the first paragraph...lol. I think PIGIN would suffice
Well said
kponkwem!!! dis is indeed brilliant the truth must be told against all odds.i was a fan of mama peace GEJ until recently when she began her verbal assasin.
Irrelevant pipo talking!nxt pls
Dele if u like write from here to america ur black ass will not smell aso rock ! U want power ? Wait till GEJ is done in 2019 then we might listen to u but for now? Pls go back to ghana where u belong and leave our first lady alone, we love her like that !........#OYEGO !!! ..... Linda Return My Ring !!....

Oga Dele. I kwuchala everything. O tu a k'o di. CHANGE WE NEED AND CHANGE WE MUST GET.
Lol oooo lord.
Nice one Dele Momodu.Mama needs to learn.
Well written uncle Dele.
Miguel.
Perfect
These advices shud work for her when she's in Otuoke cos they are most certainly not going back to ASO ROCk
Nawa for u o. Dis man! How convenient for u to pick and choose those to write letters to for 'insulting' people. Where were u wen people were calling Mr President all sorts of names, saying all sorts of things about this administration wit reckless abandon, esp ppl from ur party APC. Did u write any letter? No. So it is ok for dem to do dat. You are looking for cheap publicity stunt and so biased in ur reportage. Go write letters to all those other people before writing to Madam Peace. Dont play with her husband o. She no go leave u o
And you expect madam to understand all this oyinbo.....ok o
Thanks for this non-partisan speech, I totally agree with you on every phrase, sentance, paragraph, commas and full-stops... God bless you Dele MOMODU
Nice one Dele, may God raise up for us more good and well meaningful Nigerians.
Wowwww well said sir, I hope the first lady reads it and do the needful. Thanx 4dat advice senior man Dele momodu.
Hmmmmm....i hope Napoleon (GEJ) won't release his two voracious dogs (FFK & AF) on Uncle Dele. Make this election do come sef
9ce one!! I hope som1 reads dis to her ears cos i knw she cant read.
Chio, this letter is just too long. Abeg make my food no burn for fire.
She should be cautioned. In the history of all the first ladies Nigeria has had, I never heard any of them run their mouths so loosely like this one. She has crossed the boundary. Buhari's is campaigning, I never heard her talk ill of GEJ. Patience Jonathan's advisers are not doing well for her
Nice one! I love dz man
Well written! I hope she listens and apologize to all concerned.
Very rich and concise. Patience just admit your flaws and turn it into strength.
Meanwhile Vote for GMB
Mr. Dele is just an ashawo man.. looking for greener pasture.. he should go and sit down.
Who paid u to waste ur time writing this frivolous letter? Don't u know what campaign is ? GEJ all the way and mama peace our focus.
Wow, ds s no longer a letter but a book. I Love ds.
Thank you, DM! You're indeed, a great & loyal citizen of the Naija! Let peace reign and may God bless Nigeria!!!
She helped to build her husband;So what if she also destroys it?
Stupid woman
Dele momodu on point. First lady shud watch and take note of wat she say. God bless 9ja
No point in reminding them, they're all an ingrates in that part of the country, do I care about what those faceless/ nameless commentators say to me?( I don't gv a f***) where were they when people like ken saro wiwa, kudirat,rewane and the rest paid the ultimate prize? Where were they when people like Soyinka, same tinubu and rest were fighting for what this all this ingrates were enjoying today? Lest we forget, how about save the Nigerian group? Everyone set aside their religious,ethnicity and fought those cabal that held the country to ransom and where were they? Now they are there, they felt comfortable and forget the Nigerians and the reasons we fought for them(to better Nigerian)and we're no longer comfortable with them, is it a crime to demand for A CHANGE?
She helped to build her husband;So what if she also destroys him??
Stupid woman with loosed tongued.
Is very right when people say things or insult the president and his wife but is wrong when they reply back, why are you saying all this things now you should have waited till after election, all this is for the president to loss election
#deep
Whenvu and ur husband they waka up and down dats gas seriously
Mr Dele, u lie when u said past president and first lady were insulted without them replying. During Abacha's regime who gave u the mouth or voice to speak, the same goes to IBB. Most of us are abusing the freedom of information and speech we are enjoying now. All the same the 1st lady show be cautioned....
He just nailed it'. lovely write up and the truth Was said. I hope Madam would learn her lessons and try as much as possible not to comment. On every tin be said about herself and her husband.
