Sarcastic Sunday: Tinubu's Amnesty - But Who Will Pardon The President - Part 2

By: Mohammed Bello Doka - 12th October 2025

Meanwhile, the country’s leadership has turned itself into a confederation of excuses. Every scandal is explained away, every failure repackaged as reform. Even the pardon list is now being marketed as a “humanitarian gesture.” Indeed, humanitarianism has never been so criminally inspired.

 “Nigeria is the only country where the government commits the crime and the citizens serve the sentence.”

This pardon isn’t about mercy. It’s about messaging. It tells the powerful, ‘We are all in this together’, and tells the powerless, ‘You’re on your own.’ It’s a declaration that in this country, the law bends only for those who can afford the lawyer, the lobbyist, or the label of “reformed offender.”

Let’s talk about numbers again, since our leaders love statistics — especially the kind that don’t feed anyone. The inflation rate of 24% has turned ₦1,000 into loose change. Food prices have tripled, transportation costs doubled, and rent has become a mathematical equation only God can solve. Yet, the government’s solution to rising hardship is to free criminals. Perhaps they’ll soon release hunger itself on parole.

 “Nigeria’s economy is so bad that even corruption is now working on a payment plan.”

But wait — we must give credit where it’s due. President Tinubu has achieved what many thought impossible: he has united Nigerians across tribe, religion, and region — not in prosperity, but in collective suffering. Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, and every other tongue now speak one language — “E go better.” Unfortunately, “e never better.”

So what do we call this new national mood? Is it mercy, hypocrisy, or just high-level political theatre? Some say the President is showing compassion. Others say he’s building alliances with his reflection. Whatever it is, it has confirmed one truth: in Nigeria, leadership is not about setting people free; it’s about freeing your friends and forgiving yourself.

And so, as Nigeria continues its journey through the valley of poverty and the shadow of pardon, we the citizens remain the audience to an endless play — laughing through our tears, clapping between power cuts, and praying that one day, mercy will descend on us too.

Because if murderers can be pardoned, if drug dealers can be forgiven, if criminals can be rebranded — then maybe, just maybe, there’s still hope for the ordinary Nigerian struggling to survive on $43 a month.

“Forgiveness is the new oil — the more you sin, the more you earn.”

And so we close another edition of Sarcastic Sunday, where satire is the only medicine left for national madness.

The prisons are open. The thieves are free. The poor are hungrier. The naira is bleeding. Inflation is celebrating. And the President smiles from his golden seat of mercy.

But as Nigeria pardons the guilty and punishes the innocent, one final question echoes louder than all the political noise —

Who will pardon Tinubu?

In Ramadan, Imam Shafi’i would finish the Qur'an 60 times while Imam Malik would pause all scholarly work & focus solely on Qur'an too.

So, this Ramadan let the Qur'an guide your days, fill your nights, & soften your heart.

How many khatms are you planning?

It pays to be patient. So be patient with people, and give them the chance to grow and become better. Be patient with yourself, and learn the skills you need to succeed. Be patient with your circumstances, thank Allah for His blessings upon you, and He will give you more.

Ya Allah forgive their shortcomings and grant them Jannatul Firdaus!

Avoid yearning for someone else’s life as it may not be suitable for you. Allah’s wisdom is supreme, and He knows what’s best for you. Have faith, and trust His plans for your life.

Alhamdulillah, Ya Rabb, for allowing us to witness this moment of mercy and forgiveness. Grant us the inspiration to take full advantage of this blessed season to earn Your infinite mercy and forgiveness!
