Friends of Val Obienyem should be worried about the current state of his mind. The young man sounds like someone whose colossal inheritance of loss has weighed down and the power of coordination has deserted him. The tragedy is that Val is not the only one whose career has come to the end of the road all of a sudden. The worry therefore lies in the way the young man has taken his loss so far. Since his dream of vending his voodoo media skills for the botched second term of President Jonathan disappeared into thin air, Val Obienyem has taken the high road of infamy to give Peter Obi one more reason to retain his services.
Has anyone really wondered why Peter Obi and his handlers have become so paranoid about the money they handed over to his successor? Since Obi’s puny efforts to transit from Agulu to national politics crashed into Oba Akiolu’s lagoon, they have been moving around Anambra State, trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. The other day, Obi whose criminal neglect of the state broadcasting service laid the station waste for eight years, was a guest in some radio stations where he spoke excitedly about the money he left behind.
Val has been running around like a rat smoked out of a hellhole, instigating arguments here and there on Facebook to give the illusion of a serious engagement to his boss. While no one begrudges a man who willfully chooses to live like a rodent his choice, Val’s constant resort to the so called N75bn, purportedly left behind by Obi is akin to rabid fixation. But Val is not the only one guilty of this retarded grandstanding.

Has anyone wondered why Obi is intent on talking about leaving N75bn behind when neither Governor Obiano nor his aides have challenged him on that yet? Why is Obi asking and answering his own questions? Has anyone who speaks in a representative capacity for Governor Obiano ever taken him or his boy Val, to task? Why is Obi stricken with this needless anxiety? Is Obiano’s silence nudging him to a point of neurotic disorder?
From the fevered anxiety of Peter Obi and his handlers over the N75bn he allegedly left behind, it has become clear that the public was not told the whole truth. Obiano’s silence in the face of all the unsolicited answers has added to Obi’s anxiety and now the man whose image once towered like a pillar of morality has started making the puny mistakes of a man who is about to suffer a shipwreck.
And that is very pathetic!
