A Typical Foolish Unproductive Fight Nigerians Indulge Themselves Into

By Mr. A, in Vanguard Newspaper

I am seriously appalled by the claim that power belongs to the North and they will always determine who they permit to rule. This is my father's land too! Why should a section of the country arrogate power to themselves at the expense of the other groups? That is recipe for disintegration. In 50 years of Nigeria independence the North ruled for 38 years! The South should demand their own 38 years to be fair. Out of the 38 years that should be given to the South OBJ wasted 10 years and Jonathan is on his second year. This means the South should hang on to power for the next 26 years! Yes, that is the way it should be to be fair. If I were Jonathan, I would contest again in 2015! Southern politicians are so self-serving and lack vision and principle- they cannot reason beyond their noses. Enough of this nonsense! If the North continues to reason and act like this may be we should divide the country so the South can rule their own place. PDP may have put zoning in their party constitution but any constitution that undermines anyone's right as specified in the Federal Constitution of Nigeria is a fraud, indefensible and therefore null and void. By the way, what does the North contributes to Nigeria? Corruption, Niger-Delta, Boko Haram, terrorism, insecurity of life and properties everywhere? See what is happening in Jos and Maiduguri for God's sake! In the 38 years they ruled with absolute power what was the benefit even to the north let alone to the whole of Nigeria? For 38 years of their rule they neglected Niger Delta, kill their prominent sons and daughters! For 38 years they even neglected their own people giving them no education, public amenities and economic power. They empowered a few and left their populace in abject poverty and misery! Sensible northerners should not listen to them. In fact only a southern president can repair the damage these crooks have unleashed on the north! Look at the so-called ACF! How is the Middle-Belt represented in this communique? Just think of the map drawn by the late Orkar and you will understand better! The ranting is from a section of the north and not from the whole North as they are claiming! Sensible northerners better queue behind Jonathan because Nigeria is moving forward and not backward. Jonathan's presidency is good for us for at least one thing- breaking the strangle hold of the anti-progressive oligarchy of the north! Jonathan's winning this election serves a purpose larger than Jonathan himself. Let's dare them! Jonathan needs to win without them in order to free this country from these never-do-well bigots. Let them not support him-- they are merely shooting themselves in the foot. Nigeria belongs to ALL of us and we collectively determine our destiny

Responding to MR A's comment in Vanguard daily



No! power belongs to a united people. For years criminal leaderships in Nigeria have employed these tactics of 'divide and conquer’, appealing to our little difference instead of our larger and bigger commonalties, they have exploited our differences instead of our similarities for their selfish ends. Nigerian problems are not just the makings of the primitive leaderships but largely the willful and ignorant abdication of responsibilities on the part of the citizenry. Instead of demanding for a good leadership, sections of Nigeria demand sectional leaders comprise of their tribes. Yet all over Nigeria, north, south, east west, in all the ethnic groups majority of the people are abjectly poor. Good governance like respect, peace are neither gifts from the government nor from the most powerful to least but assured by willingness of the governed to demand and secure them once they are threatened. Nigerians are playing at the hands of the few primitive cabals masked as leaders when they fight one another not on principal and differing political ideology but over ethnic difference. This is exactly what these criminal leaders from south, north east and west want us to do. As Long as ordinary citizens are fighting each other over ethnic differences they would be too busy to realize the crime perpetrated against them even by their sectional leaders. Nigerians especially the youths must wakeup and take back this country before it is too late. Most people do not know the great value of a possession until they loose it. Most Nigerians do not see the great gift of a nation until Nigeria is no more.
To reiterate, Nigeria problem lies at the fact that Nigerians are fighting the cheap, easy and unproductive ethnic war while ignoring the difficult but true and rewarding war of national interest.

My reply to comments by Mr. A and others in Vanguard Newspaper

Mr. A, You are about 90 percent correct but do not forget that many governors from the south especially those from the South-East, the likes of Orji Uzokalu did more socio-economic harm to the people of Abia State than any president of northern descent ever did or will ever do a southern. Truth is that president of either northern or southern descent; it does not matter to that hungry Nigerian, to that Jobless Nigerian, to that sick Nigerian without access to adequate medical treatment, to that Nigeria family that lost loved one due to either insecurity in the nation or due to deplorable conditions of the nation’s road ways. It does not matter to the university students whose educations are always in limbo. It does not matter to that poorly trained and poorly equipped police force, nor does it matter to so many Nigerians whose aspirations and life ambitions are been choked either by southern or northern president, governor, minister, senator that criminally export public funds overseas for personal use. What matters most to Nigerians and what Nigerians need today is a true leader regardless of his or her ethnicity? Those who clamor that the south must produce the presidency are no less divisionary than those that clamor for a northern president, and this line of thought is guided only by politics and sectionalism but not reason and will only make worse the ethnic tension and division in the country. Obasonjo is a southern; his eight years of presidency and two years of dictatorship did not move Nigeria a bit forward.

I am from the south and I care less about the president's ethnicity but about his or her honesty, vision, courage, intellect but above his or her love for the people and for the country. I hope no one is suggesting that we give the south thirty eight years of presidency to further destroy Nigerian as some leaders beginning in late seventies to present have only but ruined the country.

But my good friends, and fellow Nigerians remember this; because leaders generally are inherently corrupt, good governance is assured by the governed and not by the governmenors.

Wireless communication and the new crime wave in Nigeria

Wireless communication and the new crime wave in Nigeria

In Nigeria telecommunication appears to have improved over the years but truth is that Nigerian has the most inefficient and ineffective telecommunication system in the world. Besides, this poorly managed and regulated communication system has aided the increased crime wave in Nigeria. Criminals now can plan, coordinate and execute their nefarious activity with else without the need of gathering which increases the chance of them being captured. No body here is advocating against improve and easy access to telecommunication nor is any body suggesting that government spy communications between or among citizens. The point here is that governments must devise a non intrusive method to create registry for wireless services at the provider’s level. 

          

No Kingdom That Cometh Against Itself Have Stood

"No kingdom that cometh against itself stands"  If Nigerian leaders liquidate the nation through the embezzlement of public funds and corrupt exportation of  public fund overseas how then do any body expect development in any form to occur in Nigeria. It is self evident that these are not leaders but criminals that must be dragged before the law. These criminals leaders have kingdom of their own, the corrupt criminal kingdom and this kingdom cannot come against itself. So Nigerians must not expect any good from these primitive cabals. These criminals must be confronted just as their likes in Tunisia Egypt, Libya, and middle east are being confronted today. In all human history good governance is never assured by the governors but by governed. Nigerians should wakeup and take up the responsibility for the wellbeing of the nation; freedom is never free.
