Former president of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, yesterday 16th February, at a press conference in Abeokuta, asked his ward chairman to publicly tear his PDP membership card while he looked on... I don't know about you but I find this act in itself very childish. I want to point out an infinitesimal yet most important thing that is wrong with this act - the spraying of the papers on the floor after tearing it. This might not make sense to the average Nigerian but these smallest things matter the most. It reflects who we are. It is a proof of indiscipline. A saying goes thus: "The way you behave in one thing is the way you behave in every other thing". What happened to the garbage can? Or better still, he could have arranged it on the table where it could be easier to pack. (more pics below)
I watched the replay on TV and I just wondered what was going on their minds as they did that. What was most incredible was the smirk on OBJ's ward chairman's face as he tore the very card and then the ultimately landing on the floor of the pieces. You could tell from the smiles that would never leave his face that he was enjoying every bit of the moment. For a moment, I thought he was performing some kind of ritual. Oh, he really looked fetish too! LOL!
