Reading through news excerpts relating to the resignation of the foreign
secretary, I see that when contacted by reuters for reasons of his
resignation, Dr. Sedat Jobe advanced that he resigned based on "principles".
What principle? What is your principle Mr. Jobe?

Do you want to tell us that allowing yourself to be prostituted by a despot
in the presence of the diplomatic community is what you call a principle? Do
you remember the statements you were coerced to make against the EU on
behalf of your all-powerful boss? Do you remember the statements you made on
behalf of your coercive boss against the U.N, America and Britain in
response to the ban slapped on your chief thug Baba Jobe? What about all the
atrocities committed by your boss and his thugs. Do these things elude your
principles? What is your principle Mr?

Oh! I see, you were not given the privilege to drive away the Brit huh?
Your boss undermined your ego by making the decision in your absence. How
you would've loved to give the word to the Brits! It hurts me to see
otherwise respectable people like yourself manifesting the worst tendencies
that can put a whole nation down. Calling yourself a learnt gentleman who
loves his country. Is this how you contribute to your society - by
perpetuating and reinforcing despots? See what you get in return? How come
you didn't see this coming? Who would think that Sedat Jobe of all people,
the right hand man - probably not of late - of the most ignorant dictator in
Africa will be humiliated as such. What a lame excuse for someone who had
been so staunch and egoistic.

Please let that straw lose. You have absolutely no principles, whatsoever.
If you did, you would not have done and said things that are much worse than
not being informed about expelling a British diplomat. What would you have
done if your all-powerful had already made his mind about expelling the
Brit? Would you have had the courage to tell it in his face to suck it? I
doubt it. Why didn't you tell him to suck up the Baba Jobe deal. Instead we
saw you parading yourself in the most ridiculous manner in front of the
whole world trying to justify the unjustifiable. That from a man of
principle?

Please let's not hear you say you have principles : A rule or standard,
especially of good behavior: a man of principle.

Drop that one a lay low.

Good day,

Babs
