Is Karma Not at Work in Nigeria?
Basil Odilim
Today, Tinubu is allegedly threatening protesters and accusing Obi of being behind them. But in 2012, Tinubu was not just an organizer; he was openly leading protests and threatening Jonathan.
Tinubu did everything unbelievable to install Buhari in 2015 and 2019, they did everything to keep Buhari in power, even when Nigeria voted for Atiku. In 2023, didn’t they do everything to take from Obi what God gave him on a platter of gold?
Now, Jonathan, who has been wrongfully accused, insulted, and assaulted, must return to save Nigeria from Tinubu in 2027. I’ve seen it in my dreams, where millions of Nigerian youths are crying and begging Jonathan to come back and save Nigeria. I witnessed Jonathan returning to the Villa, with millions across the country rejoicing. You can see how karma works.
Karma, the concept that actions have consequences, is a potent force. The law of retribution states that good deeds lead to positive outcomes, while evil deeds result in suffering and punishment. History is replete with examples of wicked leaders who have faced retribution for their actions.
Consider the case of Idi Amin, the ruthless Ugandan dictator. His reign of terror from 1971 to 1979 was marked by gross human rights abuses, economic mismanagement, and political repression. Eventually, he was overthrown and forced into exile, living his final years in obscurity and disgrace. His downfall was a clear example of karma at work.
Similarly, in more recent times, Saddam Hussein of Iraq, who ruled with an iron fist from 1979 until his capture in 2003, faced a grim end. His regime was known for its brutality, including the use of chemical weapons against his own people. His capture, trial, and eventual execution symbolized the retributive justice that karma brings.
In Nigeria, the story of karma is unfolding. Tinubu’s actions, from allegedly leading protests against Jonathan in 2012 to his manipulative strategies in subsequent elections, demonstrate a disregard for democratic principles and fairness. His current threats against protesters and baseless accusations against Obi only add to his record of coercion and deceit.
Yet, karma spares no one. What if Tinubu’s four years are set aside by God to ensure that he fully reaps what he has sown? Just as past leaders have faced their comeuppance, Tinubu’s actions will inevitably catch up with him. The dreams of millions, where Jonathan returns to restore justice and integrity, signify the powerful workings of karma and the law of retribution. Nigeria’s future may very well see a reckoning for those who have sown discord and injustice.
No human being can stop this karmic tsunami. The universe maintains balance, and those who act with malice will eventually encounter the consequences of their deeds. This is the timeless lesson of karma, a reminder that no matter how powerful a leader might seem, they are not beyond the reach of moral retribution.
