Don’t seek re-election G7 Govs, Baraje tell GEJ
Mr. nPDP Chairman speaks and exposes ignorance
Woman! what is the problem, why are you threatening to destroy this big city; a concerned citizen asked a woman in her late 40s raising hell while threatening to destroyed a great beautiful city, yonder. And in so much rage and gasping for air the woman said this city must be destroyed unless he marries me as he promised. Hearing the flimsy reason a great city would be destroyed and the good citizen rightly believing that this woman is either insane or evil or both reports the threat against the city to the city guardians. Being a great city the city guardians were versed in the laws of the land so they organized and quickly apprehended the woman before she could destroy the great city.
The revered, wise and all-knowing chairman of nPDP has spoken and thank God he did because we’re now proven right that it is not Bamanga Tukur's leadership but rather Jonathan’s 2015 reelection against Hausa/Fulani hegemonic mindset and interest that is the force behind the rebellious 5 president wannabe Governors. But mostly interestingly is that by his statement Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje has shown that he not only lack the political sagacity and logical prowess to lead a big Party like PDP but that he is a dullard and a No-Nigerian, by threatening disintegration just because an eligible politician renegades in a prior promise to not contest for political position. How could Baraje and co- travelers today argue on mere promise if they claim as they have told Nigerians many times in the past that Jonathan had an agreement with the North to serve only one term? If this claim is true why would they argue on mere promise today? So today, with Baraje's promise argument Nigerians must take one truth home and that is there was no one term agreement between Jonathan and any political interest group. What they called promised today is what they called agreement yesterday. Besides, if Jonathan's 2nd term ambition is unconstitutional as Baraje and co say why would they enter into agreement to stop Jonathan's 2nd ambition if the ambition is already unconstitutional?
Mr. Baraje you’re neither a politician, smart nor a Nigerian if the reason you’re threatening the disintegration of Country you call home is for political promised not kept. One could not help to wonder how you become the chairman of PDP in the past. Well, this is Nigeria the land of mediocrity of quota. The only reason Baraje could have been PDP party chairman in the past was through the use quota system otherwise called federal character. But here we are and watch as Baraje rabidly oppose Jonathan who not only is taking advantage of his own quota like Baraje did but was actually positioned to receive his own quota through the act of God.
If a military dictator IBB would abrogate the constitution for 9 good years and took Nigeria through 9 years of one man rule or dictatorship and Nigerians see fit to remain Nigerians then it is alter ignorance, stupidity, empty ego, arrogance and childishness to make empty threats against any leader elected by popular vote in 2015. Mr. Baraje, if 2015 presidency is your god given right then you must trust and believe your god and therefore not afraid and then come 2015, stand for election under any party.
You said “God has been merciful to you, Mr. President, lifting you from being a university teacher to President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in so short a time is something you should be grateful and be contented with.” So Mr. Baraje, why not wait for the same God to dethrone him. Or do you not believe that the same God that lifted him will in due time lower him? why do you now want to do God's work? Do not believe that God is capable to lower Jonathan when God chooses? If you truly believe that God lifted him has God sought for your help to lower him?
And which ought to be easier, from military service to presidency like IBB, Abacha, etc, or from civil service to presidency? Last time I checked must American presidents were all civilians. Obama was a law professor, a legislator and then the president, in very short time period. And what does this argument or line thought of yours actually mean, Mr. nPDP Chairman? Are you suggesting that a collage professor would ordinarily be unfit for presidential post?

Atiku, David Mark, Orji Kalu, Daily Times’ men of honor.
David Mark, Atiku, Orji Kalu are Daily Times’ news makers and men of honor. They say, tell me the company you keep I will tell you the kind of person you are. Now, the Daily Times news maker are the trio of Atiku, David Mark and Orji Kalu. Now, let us see whom these Daily Times' men of honor are truly are. Let us see the men Daily Times glorifies in its daily news.
Atiku;
His American partner in crime Congressman Jefferson is still serving his long prison term in America prison for receiving $100,000 bribe from American oil firm that he arranged to bribe Atiku with $3M for oil deal in Nigeria. One of the Atiku's concubines then living in U.S. and connected to this crime of bribery abandoned her U.S money- laundry -mansion when FBI closed on her. Today this woman is still a fugitive in U.S. Atiku himself a prime suspect have a case to answer in U.S but in Nigeria today his is a king maker. Only in Nigeria do crooks and criminals roam the street freely and making kings. Since Nigeria journalist are either unprofessional or cowards here some of the questions they ought to have asked Atiku;
Mr. Vice President, do you know one Mr. Jefferson? How and when did you meet Mr. Jefferson for the 1st time? Was Mr. Jefferson a friend of yours and or a business acquaintance? Is Mr. Jefferson still you friend? When was the last time you spoke to him? Do you know that his is serving a prison term? Since he was or is your friend have you spoken to Jefferson while in prison? Do know why he went to prison? Are you aware that his sentencing has something to do you, something involving you Mr. Vice president? Since Jefferson went to prison have you visited U.S.? Why have you not? Is a female friend of yours or wife or concubine that once lived in U.S a fugitive in U.S. today? Why is she a fugitive?
Those are few of the million questions responsible press ought to ask a once Vice President of a country wanted for a crime in a foreign land. By not asking the right questions Nigeria press is not only failing in its responsibility but grossly disappointing Nigerians on whose investigative journalism, the citizenry should depend on for accountability, check and balances in the society.
David Mark: Mark Bloody University?
Only in Nigeria do murderers lead a premier law making body. Mr. Mark advocates harsher punishment for vandals but Daily Times failed to ask him the punishment for the looting of public coffer; the punishment for official corruption, impunity and abuse of power, authority, office, position; the punishment for the killing of villagers asking for compensations from Mark for his usurpation of the farm land for his ego driven University; their little pieces of land from which they sustain their mere existence. Mr. Mark how and where did you get money for a 4sq mile university campus, the Mark Bloody University? Everyone give applause for Mark. I say shame on you oga Mark. Only in Nigeria do mass murderers lead a premier law making body. No wonder you're above the law. From now this Mark University will be called Mark Bloody University.
Orji Kalu; Robin Hood in reverse
Con Kalu, a Robin Hood in reverse that robs for his own pocket and acts as if the internal deportation of the poor is worse than stealing from them. In as much as I condemn in the strongest terms Fashola's internal deportation of Nigerians, I support his sealing of the Lagos house purportedly owned by Con Orji Uzo Kalu. The Lagos state Government and Abia state government should seize the house pending the outcome of investigation on when this house was built, on how Con Kalu got the fund he used to build this house. In as much as I applaud Con Kalu for defending human, constitutional and universal rights of Nigerians, Indi-Igbo against Lagos State Government’s subversive act that is capable of causing national disintegration I still completely distaste Con Kalu for looting Abia state to the verge of death. Had Con Kalu overcame his greedy, primitive self-centeredness not for 8 years appropriated Abia’s wealth to himself, had he instead of looting Abia wealth used those public wealth for infrastructure and industrial development of Abia State, he would have saved some of these Igbo deportees the shame or indignity of being deported even in their own country.
As Governor of Abia State Con Kalu should have led by example and should now show Abia people and Nigerians the houses he built in the cities in Abia State prior and after being the governor of Abia State if he built this much house in Lagos State. He would do himself a great favor if he would explain when and how he got the money he used to build these houses including the ones In U.S. Con Kalu should know that his baloney cook and bullshit oil and fish business narrative is not selling given the multi- billion Naira asset, business, and investment he controls around the world and particularly in Africa. The reason Con Kalu invested heavily in other Africa countries and not in the West, his Abia loot, the loot responsible; for high infant mortality, high children illiteracy, high maternal deaths, high unemployment, dead infrastructure and all manner of abjectness in Abia state and by extension in Igbo land was to avert the rigorous campaign against money laundry in the West.
Now the mouth piece of shit for the Ndi-Igbo, Kalu, claims that he was rich before he hacked his way to the governorship. He claimed he made his wealth by taking palm oil to north and fish from north to the south. The question then becomes, how many trailer loads or what quantity of fish and oil was this crook transporting that enabled him own an airline business and multi billion naira business and assets across Africa and in the US? How long did he do this fishy oily business? What was or is his fish and oil business transport system called? People that made this level of fortune from buying and selling always accomplish such feat by using fleets of personalized goods transport systems. Where were Orji Uzor Kalu’s fish and oil transports limited? He couldn’t have raised billions of naira from fish and oil sales using public, or rented or pay per use transport system.
I wish I am wrong to say that this Con Kalu’s epiphany to speak and defend ind-Igbo and the poor is but another attempt to game Igbos for support for his presidential ambition now that he has more than enough stolen Igbo money to buy Igbos for his ego and greed driven presidential ambition.
Obasanjo knew that this man was a crook but he could not prosecute him effectively because he himself Obasanjo was compromised, a crook in his own ranks And because of political correctness and his dislike of the Igbos, Obasanjo took Con Ka aru's criminality as Igbo problem.
Folk, behold the grievance against PDP by the 5 renegade crooks led by Rabid Kwasoka as reported by Tribune. 9/3/13
I said it Gernor Rabid Kwasoko is a green snake in a green grass.
The Meeting, please read, pay attention to the bold, underlined and italised
"Stalemate as PDP govs disagree at parleyThere was a sharp division among governors of PDP at the peace meeting called by President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday night.
The meeting, which lasted till early hours of Monday, however, resolved to continue today.
A source, however, said much of the submissions by the G7 governors bothered on flimsy excuses, adding that if the president should follow that path, he would have nothing to show Nigerians in 2015.
“It appears the aggrieved governors want the president to fail, so they can easily take his job in 2015,” a source said.
Sources close to the meeting, however, told the Nigerian Tribune that a sharp division ensued among governors at the meeting, following the declaration by the Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwakwanso, who spoke on behalf of the G7 governors that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had become a thorn in the flesh of state governors, calling on the president to order the commission to stop probing of governors.
Besides Kwakwanso, Kwara State governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, also asked the president to put a stop to activities of the EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
Kwakwanso, the first to speak among the aggrieved governors who, on Saturday, teamed up with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to form the New PDP, said they were angry over four issues.
He said they were being stalked by the EFCC, while the commission was also harassing the son of the governor of Jigawa State, also one of the G7 governors.
He said as PDP governors, they should be protected from EFCC harassment, adding that members of the ruling party should not be so exposed to EFCC probe.
Kwara State governor also told the meeting that he had been facing EFCC probe since he served in the cabinet of Senator Bukola Saraki, adding that there was an atmosphere of fear in the state over activities of the anti-graft agency.
He said as a PDP governor, the government should not only protect him, but also protect his predecessor, who was being investigated by the EFCC.
The claims by the two governors, however, elicited reactions from Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom and Gabriel Suswam of Benue.
The trio opposed the request that President Jonathan should put a stop to EFCC activities.
Jang was said to have insisted that EFCC should continue with its job, adding that he was also a victim of the probe by the commission for the first three years of his first term.
He said the fact that the commission was a federal agency did not mean the president should take control of its activities.
Suswam also told the meeting that his government had been severally investigated and that he never attributed the situation to the president.
Akpabio, according to a source, said that the governors should strive to keep clean books, since nobody would be in office for life.
Sources said Kwakwanso, who presented a four-point grouse, also mentioned the issue of Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF) election, the Adamawa PDP crisis and the Rivers situation as some of the grouse of the aggrieved governors.
He was also quoted as saying that the president should find solution to the crisis rocking Adamawa PDP, as delegates loyal to the governor were stopped from attending the mini convention on Saturday.
Kwankwaso also stressed the need for PDP to discuss party structures, with the president ensuring inclusive government.
According to him, the list of those who were appointed into positions and boards of parastatal agencies in his state, for example, did not emanate from him, adding that those people had been giving him a lot of problems.
“We don’t want to leave PDP, but we want to ensure the right things are done. We need a united NGF and we want the president to intervene and help sort out the crisis,” he was quoted to have said.
The governors, however, insisted that besides the listed grievances, they did not intend to leave the party, adding that their action on Saturday [8/31/13] was aimed at driving home their grievances.
A governor at the meeting further confirmed that Jang was angry at the mention of the NGF crisis and that when he was given the floor, he accused his colleague governors of playing a deceitful game.
He told the president that he was drafted into the NGF election by his colleagues who adopted him as a consensus candidate, adding that he was shocked to discover that the same people who drafted him later said they were deceiving him.
He also said the action of the breakaway governors on Saturday was premeditated, adding that they had planned to hold a parallel convention long ago.
According to him, the governors could not just wake up and get the venue decorated within few minutes of their leaving Eagle Square.
He insisted that political leaders must do away with politics of deceit if the PDP must get to the roots of the problem.
A source said President Jonathan, who rounded off the discussions, said the problems enumerated were all human problems, promising that all of the issues would be resolved.
According to a reliable source, the president declared that those within his powers would be resolved by him, while he would readily refer issues of the party to the party leadership for appropriate action."
Mark Bloody University, Only in Nigeria do murderers lead a premier law making body.
"Mark Advocates Stiff Punishment for Vandals" Daily Time, 9/3/13
Mark Bloody University, Only in Nigeria do murderers lead a premier law making body.And Mr. Mark what is the punishment for the looting of public coffer. What is the punishment for official corruption, impunity and abuse of power, authority, office, position? What is the punishment for the killing of villagers asking for compensations before you usurp for your ego driven University, their little pieces of land from which they sustain their mere existence. Mr. Mark how and where did you get money for a 4sq mile university campus, the Mark Bloody University? Everyone give applause for Mark. I say shame on you oga Mark. Only in Nigeria do mass murderers lead a premier law making body. No wonder you're above the law.

Boko Haram is but Institutional Failures exemplified by Rabi'u Kwankwaso 2 .
Boko Haram is but Institutional Failures exemplified by Rabi'u Kwankwaso 2 .
In honesty, the threat of BOko Haram to Nigerian is greater than that posed either by Al-Qaeda or by any other terrorist organizations to any other Nation. And this threat to Nigeria is neither because of the sophistication of this terror group nor because of their uncanny abilities to cause mayhem and or destructions. These ragtag terrorist primitive bastards are successful in their scourge because of institutional failures, corruption, mediocrity and gross incompetence in the Nigerian society exemplified by Rabi'u Kwankwaso .
For example, how can a nation fight terrorism or terrorist when it does not have even an inaccurate head counter and identities of its citizenry. In Nigeria there is neither birth, death, national, local registry of the citizenry. The result of this one out of many institutional failures is that anybody is and is not Nigerian depending on the immediate circumstances and desires of the individual.
Just by mere common sense, it is impossible to stop Boko Haram if its members like many Nigerians can assume any identity at any time and place of their choosing. Boko Haram will grow and increase in straight and assume any name and coloration as long as Nigeria remains one of the few countries in the world that cannot identify its own citizens.
A terrorist who appears Middle Eastern laden with explosives and AK 47s can walk freely across the porous Nigerian borders and within the Nigerian states parading self as citizen. And I ask, can we found somebody we know not of his or her existence, identity, name, height, complexion, familial? The answers is no; but when we do, it is by sheer luck and the security of a nation and of a people cannot be entrusted to luck and randomness. So credible head count back with biometrics is an Imperative and Odimegwu should have been encouraged and supported and Kwankwaso and his likes can go to hell.
The ongoning National Conference must recommend National Identity Card sheme backed with biometrics and an 8 to 10 year period national head count.

Presidency, call Kwankwaso to Order or to a Conference
The entire crisis in PDP was manufactured and given breath of life by the five governors among them are those that believe that certain section of the country was born to rule. The most dangerous but evilly quite among these five governors is Kwankwaso. This man is a tribal xenophobe in the ranks of Ahmadu Bello. Kwankwaso dislike southerners, Christians especially Igbos in the manner and level Sardauna did. Kwankwaso was the reason the national assembly jettisoned new state creation especially in the South East when he cried wolf, accused, and charged Iheodioha and Ekweremadu of leading Igbo conspiracy for more Igbo states, a similar conspiracy charge of Igbos penchant for domination that preceded the 1966 Igbo massacre or pogrom in the North and South West. Kwankwaso government few months ago accused the Minister of Aviation Ms Oduah of abandoning Aminu Kano International Kano for the new commissioned Akanu Ibiam International airport in Enugu even as evidence showed the Ministry had invested more and commissioned more renovation work at Kano airport than in any other airport in Nigeria. The Governor even shamelessly accused the Minster as being responsible for the very low patronage of the Kano Airport even when he knows that bombing and terrorism are the reason businesses and travelers are avoiding his death trap state.
Just last week this tribal ignoramus religious zealot called for the sack of Odimegwu, an Igbo, and the chairman of National Population Commission. He called Odimegwu a drunkard and unfit to lead NPC. Thank God Kwankwaso did not say that Odimegwu is an Islamic fundamentalist blood sucking vampire like himself. He called for Odimegwu’s sack just because Odimegwe rightly berated the highly manipulated 2006 census and promised credible head count backed with biometric. Sources had it that Kwankwaso demanded the sack of Odimegwe as condition to reconcile and back Jonathan for 2015. And Jonathan by sending query to Odimegwu is succumbing to Kwankwaso’s mischief, antics, evil mechanization and political manipulation at his own political peril. Jonathan should be reminded that even before Odimegwu made the statement in which he rightly criticized the past censuses, Rabi’u Kwankwaso had already mortally opposed his Presidency and 2015 ambition. He was already going all over Nigeria campaigning against Jonathan’s 2015 ambition and romancing the president’s perceived political enemies. It is on record that the Muslim North have consistently opposed credible head count in Nigeria because the status quo benefits them. The attacked Odimewgwu today is only but a smoke screen to mask North's long opposition to accurate head count and attempt to kill Odimegwu's lofty goal of credible head count backed with Biometrics.
Jonathan must not be naïve and must learn from recent history when during the civil war north incited the south eastern minorities against the Igbo. To cause disaffection and disunity in the south east during the civil war north evilly manipulated the south east minorities, indoctrinating them that they would be better off in Nigeria than in Biafra. They told them falsely that the Niger Delta oil wealth would be best protected for the Niger Deltans in Nigeria than in Biafra. Lacking simple knowledge of arithmetic the South East minorities bought the North’s poisonous pill, rebelled and abandoned their natural and cultural brothers, the Igbos. What followed immediately after the civil war was the absolute takeover of the Niger Delta oil wealth by the North; the construction of South South-Kaduna oil pipe line, (the first of its kind even in moderate economic powers of the world); the north’s complete ownerships of Niger Delta oil rings, the Yoruba complete control and administration of the production of Niger Delta oil. Not until recently, what did the Niger Delta get from the civil war deal against Igbos, environmental damage and degradation and meager 5% of oil derivative.
I am not a champion of Biafra State but knowledge of simple arithmetic and not rocket science would have been enough to intimate South East minorities that, one divided by many is far less than one divided by few; that is, Niger Delta oil wealth shared by the old south easterners Igbo included would have given more dividend per capita than as it is being shared by the whole Nigeria today. In fact if Niger delta oil wealth was shared only among Biafrans, the dividend would have satisfied everyone’s greed no matter the degree of greed of the people. Not only did Niger Delta Mortgaged its oil wealth to the North it also since the civil war pitched its political tent with the north and have supported the north politically. Since that civil war anti-Igbo deal, it has been politically a one way street from the South South to northern leadership of the country. But for providence, a Niger Deltan, by God’s will was positioned to occupy the high office in the land for the first time and perhaps the only time and may be the only time in the foreseeable future it would ever again happen. Now for their long support of Northern hegemony, for mortgaging their oil wealth to the north, for selling their brothers and next door neighbor to a faraway friend one would be compelled to ask, what has Niger Delta gotten in return from the north since 2011, when out of providence (and not out of North’s reciprocity) a Niger Deltan was position to occupy the exalted office of the presidency. Since 2011 to present the strongest and even deadly opposition to Niger Deltan, Goddluck Jonathan’s presidency is from the north, the same North that promised the Niger Deltans comfort and equality in a united Nigeria. The North has threatened to make the country ungovernable for Jonathan and lo and behold they delivered on the threat. They threatened to make his second term ambition a pipe dream and they are currently delivering on this by splitting and weakening the PDP platform upon which Jonathan would contest for his second term. The biggest irony yet is that Jonathan since 2011 to present enjoys his biggest unalloyed support from the Igbos, the same people his fathers and people were told to be afraid of, to not trust. The same Igbo brothers Niger Delta abandoned in time of great need, the same Igbo it conspired against with a distance northern fair weather friend are the ones hedging Jonathan’s North’s abandonment. Yet Igbos being people with bad fate in Nigeria but love by their creator would still be despised by their Niger Delta brothers tomorrow because hate is irrational. Yet, I would still ask Igbos to continue to show leadership, maturity, big brotherliness and one Nigerianess because to err is human, to forgive is divine. Because hate only destroys the hater while the hated innocence goes home hearty and unscathed
Among the 5 governor rampaging against Jonathan’s presidency and 2015 ambition, Kwankwaso though less boisterous, not laud like the other four is the tribal northern hegemonic brain behind the rebellious 5, he is not persuadable. Lamido is only being a politician with presidential ambition and north hegemonic, given a good deal his is persuadable. Nyako with rebellious nature wants a northern presidency not necessarily for himself or for hegemonic control but as the North’s turn to produce the president, difficult but his is persuadable to support Jonathan, he need an assurance. Alieu Babagida have presidential ambition that is fueled by his age and his belief that the north must produce the presidency in 2015, not for hegemonic control but as north’s turn to produced the president. If not for his age he could be persuadable. He believes that 2015 is his last chance to aboard in Aso Rock. Like Kwankwaso Wamako has no strong presidential ambition. He strongly believes that it is north’s turn to produce the president. It is difficult to read if he nurses northern hegemonic feelings like kwankwaso hence it is not yet known if he is persuadable. For a 2nd term Jonathan must find a way around these 5 Governors. He may have to cut a deal with them. Or he must have to find a way around them and then divide, conquer and reduce their influence in their states. As for Atiku, only in Nigeria would a crook like him be walking freely on the street. His American partner in crime Congressman Jefferson is still serving his long prison term in America prison for receiving $100,000 bribe from American oil firm that he arranged to bribed Atiku with $3M for oil deal in Nigeria.
Any decent Nigerian Knows why Kwankwaso and Islamic far North is against and will fight to finish against credible head count in Nigeria. The past manipulated censuses gave the semi-arid desert Islamic far north underserved manipulated overstated population demographic that gave them 13 states and over blown local government councils. It’s only in Nigeria that desert means tropics, where deserters are more populous than Riverain and tropical dwellers. The past censuses under represented the Northern minority and Christians as the past military juntas led by the far Muslim north instead of carving out minority and Christian dominant states, shredded the northern minorities and Christians into dominant Muslim states thereby reducing northern minority, politically relevancy and influence. The most credible yet not so accurate census of 1959 put Hausa/Fulani, (North West and North East), Igbo, Yoruba, Northern Minority and Southern Minority at same population demographic tally. Yet Hausa/Fulani occupies the 13 states of NW and NE with ruminants scattered in the 5 other north central states. I am not a proponent of more states but for fairness since the national cake is shared on state bases and Hausa/Fulani have 13 states, Igbo, Yoruba, Northern and Southern Minorities ought to have received 13 states, each.
In the last months this Kwankwaso used the Kano police establishment to constantly harass the Kano Igbo leader in the state just because this Igbo leader gave accurate number of victims of the last Islamic terrorist bomb attack in Kano. The Igbo leader’s figure was in variance to the reduce number of the victims reported by the Kano state government. It have long been reported that kwankwaso has throughout his leadership of Kano embarked in anti-Igbo policies and harassment. I think it is time that Oha-na- Eze and the presidency call this xenophobe, Kwankwaso to order to desist from harassing or targeting any Nigeria living in Kano.
The entire crisis in PDP was manufactured and given breath of life by the five governors among them are those that believe that certain section of the country was born to rule. The most dangerous but evilly quite among these five governors is Kwankwaso. This man is a tribal xenophobe in the ranks of Ahmadu Bello.

Jonathan must not be naïve and must learn from recent history when during the civil war north incited the south eastern minorities against the Igbo. To cause disaffection and disunity in the south east during the civil war north evilly manipulated the south east minorities, indoctrinating them that they would be better off in Nigeria than in Biafra. They told them falsely that the Niger Delta oil wealth would be best protected for the Niger Deltans in Nigeria than in Biafra. Lacking simple knowledge of arithmetic the South East minorities bought the North’s poisonous pill, rebelled and abandoned their natural and cultural brothers, the Igbos. What followed immediately after the civil war was the absolute takeover of the Niger Delta oil wealth by the North; the construction of South South-Kaduna oil pipe line, (the first of its kind even in moderate economic powers of the world); the north’s complete ownerships of Niger Delta oil rings, the Yoruba complete control and administration of the production of Niger Delta oil. Not until recently, what did the Niger Delta get from the civil war deal against Igbos, environmental damage and degradation and meager 5% of oil derivative.
I am not a champion of Biafra State but knowledge of simple arithmetic and not rocket science would have been enough to intimate South East minorities that, one divided by many is far less than one divided by few; that is, Niger Delta oil wealth shared by the old south easterners Igbo included would have given more dividend per capita than as it is being shared by the whole Nigeria today. In fact if Niger delta oil wealth was shared only among Biafrans, the dividend would have satisfied everyone’s greed no matter the degree of greed of the people. Not only did Niger Delta Mortgaged its oil wealth to the North it also since the civil war pitched its political tent with the north and have supported the north politically. Since that civil war anti-Igbo deal, it has been politically a one way street from the South South to northern leadership of the country. But for providence, a Niger Deltan, by God’s will was positioned to occupy the high office in the land for the first time and perhaps the only time and may be the only time in the foreseeable future it would ever again happen. Now for their long support of Northern hegemony, for mortgaging their oil wealth to the north, for selling their brothers and next door neighbor to a faraway friend one would be compelled to ask, what has Niger Delta gotten in return from the north since 2011, when out of providence (and not out of North’s reciprocity) a Niger Deltan was position to occupy the exalted office of the presidency. Since 2011 to present the strongest and even deadly opposition to Niger Deltan, Goddluck Jonathan’s presidency is from the north, the same North that promised the Niger Deltans comfort and equality in a united Nigeria. The North has threatened to make the country ungovernable for Jonathan and lo and behold they delivered on the threat. They threatened to make his second term ambition a pipe dream and they are currently delivering on this by splitting and weakening the PDP platform upon which Jonathan would contest for his second term. The biggest irony yet is that Jonathan since 2011 to present enjoys his biggest unalloyed support from the Igbos, the same people his fathers and people were told to be afraid of, to not trust. The same Igbo brothers Niger Delta abandoned in time of great need, the same Igbo it conspired against with a distance northern fair weather friend are the ones hedging Jonathan’s North’s abandonment. Yet Igbos being people with bad fate in Nigeria but love by their creator would still be despised by their Niger Delta brothers tomorrow because hate is irrational. Yet, I would still ask Igbos to continue to show leadership, maturity, big brotherliness and one Nigerianess because to err is human, to forgive is divine. Because hate only destroys the hater while the hated innocence goes home hearty and unscathed
Among the 5 governor rampaging against Jonathan’s presidency and 2015 ambition, Kwankwaso though less boisterous, not laud like the other four is the tribal northern hegemonic brain behind the rebellious 5, he is not persuadable. Lamido is only being a politician with presidential ambition and north hegemonic, given a good deal his is persuadable. Nyako with rebellious nature wants a northern presidency not necessarily for himself or for hegemonic control but as the North’s turn to produce the president, difficult but his is persuadable to support Jonathan, he need an assurance. Alieu Babagida have presidential ambition that is fueled by his age and his belief that the north must produce the presidency in 2015, not for hegemonic control but as north’s turn to produced the president. If not for his age he could be persuadable. He believes that 2015 is his last chance to aboard in Aso Rock. Like Kwankwaso Wamako has no strong presidential ambition. He strongly believes that it is north’s turn to produce the president. It is difficult to read if he nurses northern hegemonic feelings like kwankwaso hence it is not yet known if he is persuadable. For a 2nd term Jonathan must find a way around these 5 Governors. He may have to cut a deal with them. Or he must have to find a way around them and then divide, conquer and reduce their influence in their states. As for Atiku, only in Nigeria would a crook like him be walking freely on the street. His American partner in crime Congressman Jefferson is still serving his long prison term in America prison for receiving $100,000 bribe from American oil firm that he arranged to bribed Atiku with $3M for oil deal in Nigeria.
Any decent Nigerian Knows why Kwankwaso and Islamic far North is against and will fight to finish against credible head count in Nigeria. The past manipulated censuses gave the semi-arid desert Islamic far north underserved manipulated overstated population demographic that gave them 13 states and over blown local government councils. It’s only in Nigeria that desert means tropics, where deserters are more populous than Riverain and tropical dwellers. The past censuses under represented the Northern minority and Christians as the past military juntas led by the far Muslim north instead of carving out minority and Christian dominant states, shredded the northern minorities and Christians into dominant Muslim states thereby reducing northern minority, politically relevancy and influence. The most credible yet not so accurate census of 1959 put Hausa/Fulani, (North West and North East), Igbo, Yoruba, Northern Minority and Southern Minority at same population demographic tally. Yet Hausa/Fulani occupies the 13 states of NW and NE with ruminants scattered in the 5 other north central states. I am not a proponent of more states but for fairness since the national cake is shared on state bases and Hausa/Fulani have 13 states, Igbo, Yoruba, Northern and Southern Minorities ought to have received 13 states, each.
In the last months this Kwankwaso used the Kano police establishment to constantly harass the Kano Igbo leader in the state just because this Igbo leader gave accurate number of victims of the last Islamic terrorist bomb attack in Kano. The Igbo leader’s figure was in variance to the reduce number of the victims reported by the Kano state government. It have long been reported that kwankwaso has throughout his leadership of Kano embarked in anti-Igbo policies and harassment. I think it is time that Oha-na- Eze and the presidency call this xenophobe, Kwankwaso to order to desist from harassing or targeting any Nigeria living in Kano.
