Another Madness Called Election 2007 Vol. 2
Julius Caesar (100-44 BC) was a Roman Military General and statesman who became great as a result of his military prowess. Story has it that after Caesar had defeated Pompey the Great (106-48 BC), another Roman General and statesman, at Pharsalus, an ancient Greek City, in 48 BC, a defeat during which Pompey lost 15000 soldiers, he made his famous statement: Veni, Vidi, Vici – I came, I saw, I conquered. On Tuesday, May 22, 2007, exactly seven days before he handed over power to President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, President Obasanjo declared to the nation: “I came, I saw, and I conquered.” No other person in history has so far laid any claim to the origin of that statement except Julius Caesar. And so, when Obasanjo made his declaration, we needed nobody else to tell us that he had Caesar’s famous statement in mind. As inappropriate as this statement is, it is a fitting x-ray of Obasanjo’s frame of mind. And so rather than being angry that he told us that he has conquered all of us, we should appreciate his bluntness. Anybody who looks back at the eight years that he ruled Nigeria with particular reference to the way he tried to wipe out the poor and install the rich, the powerful and the crooked in their place and fails to understand that he came, saw and conquered Nigerians does not know history. Beginning from April 2003, this book is the story of how he used our security and law enforcement agents and hooded political thugs to conquer Nigerians.
