Once upon a time, in the political landscape of Nigeria, a group of conspirators known and styled the All Progressive Congress (APC) emerged. Their aim was to undermine and conspire against President Ebele Jonathan, who was then in power. President Jonathan, a well-meaning leader, found himself facing a relentless onslaught of distractions and fabricated controversies, herdsmen, kidnapping, Chibok girls, bring back our girls, all designed to tarnish his government's reputation and incite the civil populace to continuously undermine his authority.

At the heart of this conspiracy was a prominent figure, the terror himself, the now emperor, the Jagaban, who held significant influence and power within the APC. The emperor, who is now the Lord of the ring, played a central role in orchestrating the plot against President Jonathan. However, little did he know that the nemesis he helped create would eventually come back to haunt him.

The southern brotherhood he once conspired against is now witnessing him facing the repercussions of his actions. The northern oligarchs, known collaborators in such political maneuvers, are always ready to be used as tools to stage-manage chaos when their interests are not sufficiently protected. The tables have turned, and the emperor finds himself on the receiving end of the political machinations he once orchestrated.

Amidst the current circumstances, it is important for the emperor to reflect on his past actions and accept the consequences that come with them. Instead of crying foul, he should take the necessary steps to address the challenges he now faces. He should pay ransom and bring back our educator and educationists. Just as he once served his southern brother a bitter dose, it is time for him to take his own medicine and experience the taste of his own actions.

In the intricate web of political conspiracies, it is often the case that those who conspire against others eventually find themselves entangled in their own snares. The story of President Jonathan and the All Progressive Congress serves as a reminder that no one is immune to the consequences of their actions. As the emperor navigates the challenges ahead, he must come to terms with the nemesis that has befallen him and learn from the lessons of the past.
