We will call on all wives, girlfriends, sex workers and girls within the age of consent to boycott sex for the specified number of days, starting from Friday, 20th to 27th August 2010.

Some ‘sex warriors’ aka the Nigerian chapter of the African Women in Diaspora (OAWDN) gave President Goodluck Jonathan an ultimatum to declare his interest in the presidential election otherwise they would starve their husbands, partners and clients of sex for seven days. Two other Pro-Jonathan pressure groups issued another ultimatum.
Oh yes! Prostitutes aka commercial sex workers are expected to join in the naughty anti-sex 'demonstration'. Most of the affected men would not take such a threat seriously because they would be willing to stray for seven days anyway. It would be a good opportunity for them to chase girls all over the place in a polygamous society.
The campaigners were smart enough to invite wives, grown-up girls and prostitutes as fellow demonstrators so that their husbands would have no where to ‘exhale' a la Terry McMillan’s novel Waiting to Exhale. The funny PR stunt for a 'sly fox' like Mr Jonathan is nothing but spin… He is expected to respond with a good show including the theatrics of sex and probably say: I have to contest to save marriages, affairs and commercial sex sales in Nigeria. Bravo!
The First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan flagged off a campaign for her hubby some weeks ago so it was easy to spot the biblical hands of Esau in the ‘No Jonathan No Sex’ fireworks. 60 commercial sex workers were recently arrested in Abuja by the Task Force. Would that affect the ‘No Jonathan No Sex’ mantra?
If Dr Jonathan aka Mr Jonathan in presidential capacity wants to contest he should, but should know that a ‘perfect’ Nigerian president should be as active as Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola of Lagos State, have the clout to fight corruption like Nuhu Ribadu with the economic brains of Pat Utomi or Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and the Human Rights activism of Femi Falana. The zeal to be as outspoken as Abubakar Dangiwa Umar or to be as courageous to 'join' the race as Dele Momodu should not be ruled out. Even the tourism acumen of Donald Duke is useful.
Some people may argue that there is no perfect person so it is impossible to have a perfect president and vice-president. So, who would you vote for? Manifestoes are more or less a farce since politicians hardly do what they promised to do. In the 2011 presidential election, what should be more important are candidates' track records and less money politics. However, it may be very difficult for voters that live in poverty not to sell their votes.
Flight 2011…
President Goodluck Jonathan intends to buy three new presidential jets at a whooping cost of N23.2 billion while the masses are living in penury. Aeroplanes should not be his priority unless he wants to teach us how to be reckless spenders as a former lecturer. Maybe he intends to buy a fleet as soon as he is out of office and start Goodluck Airlines. So, buying and managing new three jets as a presidential 'apprentice airline owner' could do him some good. All together the presidential fleet could become 'nine' or 'eleven'. Wow!
A few months ago, he went to the G8 Summit with a larger than normal entourage. What for? Was it necessary? N9.5 billion to celebrate Nigeria at 50 is useless to commoners in a country with epileptic electricity supply and lack of pipe borne water. Are the in-coming planes to intimidate other candidates without private jets during the 2011 presidential election campaign or what?
He should be able to take commercial flights like the British Prime Minister David Cameron who took a BA flight to the US and saved Britain £200,000. Why can’t Jonathan 'copy' Cameron and save Nigeria billions of Naira? It is alarming that Jonathan doesn't want to buy a plane but three? Oh gush!
Jonathan buys N23B jets
Cam's flight saves £200K
