The Nigerian first lady has wondered why the media has rendered her the butt of jokes and negative press coverage. While one may be a bit empathic to her cause it is rather pertinent to point out that she did not help her cause with the way she threw herself into the limelight. Lets face it,our first lady is rather unpolished in the way she carries herself and it should have been the job of her handlers to carefully craft her public appearances in such a way that her deficiencies are covered up. A situation where she ebulliently tried to yell that folks should 'go to vote the humbllelah while trying to say umbrella' did not particularly endear her to Nigerians. Also,her husband's coterie of advisers should have asked her to stay away from taking the position of a permanent secretary in Bayelsa while she was still the first lady. That move was rather dumb and made them look as if they are totally out of touch with the feelings of the electorate Next she was rushed to Germany for the medical reasons and her handlers spend so much time lying blatantly that she went for a deserved rest only for her to return and told us that she died more than seven times while in Germany. She also told a bemused nation that she was operated upon in Germany while she was there. I am pretty sure she must expected some form of sympathy for her ordeal but the problem is that she and her handlers lied many times that Nigerians could not help but refer to her as female version of Lazarus (Madam Lazarus,Lazarine etc). In the last couple of weeks she jetted off to Germany again and we were told that she needs check up just like other people do. Well,Madam first lady,we wonder why you,your husband and all the bunch of selfish leaders in Nigeria has ensured that our health sector is in a bad state while you run out to overseas country for treatment at tax payers expense.
