Boko Haram; socio-economic political instability Nigeria

Boko Haram; Child of Official corruption and leadership incompetence.

"Boko Haram: David Mark, his deputy, governors, clerics, others condemn Kano bombings" (sun newspaper 3/20/13)

Boko Haram; Child of Official corruption and leadership incompetence.

Boko Haram is an immediate and acute threat but official and public corruption, grandfatherism, and cronyism remain the greatest mortal threat to Nigerians and to Nigeria's corporate existence. I do not in any way condone the misguided cowardly acts of Boko Haram or its affiliates. However, Boko Haram is one of the products of gross public corruption by cabal leaderships Nigerians have had in the last 34 years. Boko Haram showcases socio-economic political and tribal instability in the country cause by endemic official corruption and 34 years of leadership incompetence.

Koro; Penis Snatching

Koro is as real as ignorance in West Africa.

"Penis-Snatching Panics Resurface in Africa"

By Benjamin Radford, LiveScience Bad Science Columnist (yahoo news 3/20/13) 

Surely this phenomenon was common in my native Eastern Nigeria in the 80s and suddenly this penis snatching or snatchers completely disappeared. I never believed that there was such penis snatching or penis rush then and I do not believe it now.

This author is right, those who believe in this penis snatching and there are many who do have psychological disorder compounded by ignorance. These disorder and ignorance are responsible for the killing of Albinos in Kenya and ritual killings in Nigeria. This mass mental disorder and ignorance is the reason the backward masses of these countries cannot unite and demand and overthrow their greedy corrupt primitive leaderships that are in a major part responsible for the masses' mental disorders, mass ignorance and general backwardness across the West African countries.

Bamanga Tukur

"Alamieyeseigha: Tukur seeks understanding"

"Tukur further declared that the power to grant amnesty falls within the exclusive powers of the president, as enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution. He submitted that state pardon was meant all over the world to get the best attitude out of individuals, as instituted in the political programmes of different countries across the world, “Do you ever grant pardon to the innocent? “I cannot understand why our people are politicising the issue of amnesty so granted by Mr. President." (Sun Newspaper, 3/18/13)



Tukur, yours is but a poor and childish defense of a presidential blunder, procedual incompetence and cronyism. Just because the Congress or the Presidency has the constitutional power to declare wars does not mean or justify these departments declaring war against all foes or against all friends.  Power and authority must be exercised prudently otherwise they become acts of dictatorships and impunity. The pardoning of Alamieyeseigha is presidential impunity that insults any decent Nigerian.

The Con prefix

The Con Prefix

I suggest we enshrine in the constitution that IBB, Buhari, Abacha, Obasanjo Orji Uzo Kalu etc and any official convicted of embezzling public fund will have his or her name prefixed with the word "Con" so that generations will know the pain and the anguish this person caused Nigeria and Nigerians, for example, Con Ibrahim B Baba.

Once labeled with the Con Prefix the criminal, immediate children and grand children will not be able to change name or erase the prefix except with congressional pardon.  

The self deceiving Mass

The self deceiving Mass

This reason corruption and misrule are pervasive in Nigeria is not because of the abundance of corrupt public officials or leadership but  rather because of the abundance of ignorant,  illiterate, ill- informed sectionalize mass that defends corrupt public leaders of their kith and kin even when such leaders' corrupt acts mortally affects them. Until such a time when Mr. Okeke will in the court of law, and in the public court condemn and convict his blood brother Mr. Okafor for a proven act of public corruption; and Mr. Olu condemns and convicts his brother Mr. Oluwale; and Alhaji Musa condemns and convicts his brother Alhaji Mustapher for a proven act of public corruption, Nigerian will remain a dream, a drowning and fading geo-political idea.

The Muder in Jonnathan's Presidency

The Murder in Jonnathan's Presidency


"Nigeria president pardons ex-governor convicted of graft." (Reuters – Wed, Mar 13, 2013) (yahoo news 3/14/13)


I have always wished and prayed for the success of Mr. Goodluck's presidency because his success means success for Nigeria and for Nigerians. However, lately Mr. President has increasingly shown that he is in no way different from the different leadership cabals that have in the last 34 years held Nigeria and Nigerians back.

Mr. President, please stay away from corrupt persons and from people infested with the disease of corruption. Because in due time public officials and Leaders infested with this social disease will have their names prefixed with Con when the dark side of Nigeria story is finally told and written.
Mr. President, how would you feel if in the history book your name is written in the form, Con Ibrahim B Baba?    

History has shown that irrespective of educational level attained, financial status reached, social class occupied, familial, physical stature, built or features, the least corrupt leaders are the most successful ones; and the ones that go on to lead and live forever.

Mr. President what is your vision for Nigeria? Do you believe that the pardoning of Diepreye Alamieyeseigha will enhance this vision for Nigerian? I think this Pardon if not remedy rescinded will forever negatively affect and effectively damage Jonnathn's presidency irrespective of what he does from now on. 

Again Mr. President, stay away from corruption and from corrupt Persons.
