Zik would still be for one Nigeria

Zik would still be for one Nigeria


I agree with your historic analysis but still believe that the hopeless situation in Nigeria is redeemable. We must redeem Nigeria if not for any other reason for the sake Zik who gave everything to secure independence for the Niger Area people now called Nigerians. For his humanitarian, national and independent struggles for his freedom struggles, ZIk ought to be immortalize like Gandi,George Washington, like Abraham Lincoln, like Martin Luther king Jr. But if Nigeria goes so could be the memory of ZIk. Remember Zik ought to have been the first executive prime minster of Nigeria but for the same unfouded and myopic Igbo fears and hate he was denied the heroic position he so rightly and respectfully deserved.

So the only way left to honor and immotalize him, now that he has gone is to keep Nigeria one. Yes, it seems painful and  difficult give the circumstances in Nigeria past and present yet difficulties and challenging sitiations are what define a man and man’s character. They are what define a people. We must keep Nigeria for so many reasons among which is to ensure that zik struggles is not rubbished but that his memory is preserved. As you highlighted in your comment Zik’s positions or achieving a truly one Nigeria still remains the only way out. The North has now beginning to see what Zik saw 54 years ago on the best way to build a perfect and united nigeria.  

Boko Hara Islamic insurgency is a very winniable war. And I guarantee you, after 2015 election Boko Hara would fizzle out or outrightly crushed. Take this my assurance to the bank.

Kill the indigeneships

 Kill the indigeneships


To solve many of Nigeria ills that are rooted in ‘rivalrism,’ethnicity, disunity, disharmony, tribalism, nepotism, and cronyism with their associative corruption and backwardness, every Nigerian must be granted, and assured complete citizenship regardless of place of birth, ethnicity, religion or residency. Nigeria must abrogate indigene-ship laws or policies promulgated in the regions and in the states and replace them with one, complete and equal citizenship for every Nigerian irrespective of genealogical and religious backgrounds.
In the regions, and in the states, in civil service and political appointments, and in admissions into the universities, Nigeria lays more emphasis on mediocrities of indigene-ship, ethnicity, religion, states of origin and catchment areas instead of on citizenship and competence. Yet our politicians cry wolf about the ethnic division and tension among the citizenry.
Until such a time a Yoruba resident in Kano or Enugu would without fear or faint of heart, an Igbo resident in Kano or Lagos would without fear or faint of heart, a Hausa/Fulani resident in Enugu, Porthacourt or Lagos would without fear or faint of heart be able to viably and confidently stand for a statewide election in their state of residence, the call for national unity and development will continue to be a wash. Until every Nigerian sees self as being at home regardless of the city, state he or she lives in, Nigeria will continue to remain a pipe dream, an illusion. Until Nigeria sees it proper to abolish the divisive indigene-ship policies in the regions and in the states, the calls for national unity would continue to be a ruse and at best a waste of time. It is impossible to achieve cohesion among the people in a country with fluid and incoherent citizenship.
Today in Nigeria depending on current place of residence every Nigerian is either first or second class citizen. If you’re Igbo in Lagos or Kano, or Hausa in Onitsha or Lagos or Yoruba in Onitsha or Kano you’re a 2nd class citizen. But if this Nigerian goes back to a city, a state in his ‘ethno-geo-political zone’ he or she then reclaims 1st class citizen. Our politicians know that it’s impossible to achieve unity, cohesion, love, patriotism from and among the citizenry with this kind of incoherent citizenship classification. Yet they pretend to not know that the political turmoil, ethnic rivalry, ethnic mistrust, hate and tension, unhealthy competition, the cutthroat politics, cronyism, nepotism, corruption and professional mediocrity in Nigeria; stem from this incoherent citizenship classification
So, if the national conference did not achieve any other thing, for the Nigeria future, the conference must kill the indigeneship, must do away with indigene-ships policies in the regions, in the states and replace the same with full, complete, absolute Nigeria Citizenship Anywhere and Every-where within the Nigeria territory.

They robbed, ran into the bush then rushed out and asked where’re them, the robbers

They robbed, ran into the bush then rushed out and asked where’re them, the robbers

You are sir; yes you’re one of the robbers. Con IBB, yeah, give back your loot, your robbery proceeds and the young people involved in this madness would have jobs to occupy their idling minds. You and your fellow crooks are fully responsible for this orgy of death in Nigeria. You can run but you would never hide from the actions of these monsters birthed by your primitive greed and religious zealotry.

Beginning in1976 after the assassination of Murtala, every single Nigeria problem is the making of the past Nigeria looters otherwise called leaders. This is particularly true with Con IBB and Buhari dictatorships with regards to Islamic terrorism. It was Bahari's dictatorship that gave birth to the idea of Islamizing Nigeria when he undemocratically pulled a secular Nigeria into membership to an Islamic religious organization, OIC which was finally consummated under the dictatorship of the gap toothed crook, Con IBB. So Boko Haram islamic terrorism is the brain and ideological child of Islamist Buhari and Con Babaginda dictatorships. It is this membership to OIC that the brainless monster Shekua and Nigeria Islamists took as prelude, a lunch pad to Islamic State of Nigeria.

The Con Prefix

I suggest we enshrine in the constitution that IBB, Buhari, Abacha, Obasanjo Orji Uzo Kalu, whole host of others and any public official convicted of embezzling public fund and or instill ethnic division 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 Badamusa Babaginda. 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

 

Con Kalu Mouth laundering his stolen wealth

"Kalu in Forbes Magazine: The Nigerian millionaire who wants to negotiate with Boko Haram" Sun newspaper 7/23/14


Con Kalu Mouth laundering his stolen wealth

This thief, Con Kalu is trying hopeless to launder his Abia wealth he cornered. He can try but he will always fail because the cries of the victims of his loot are heard beyond the natural world. This crook falsely claims that Adenuga and Dankote are business associates before he became Abia State's thief executive but nothing could be further from the truth. This crook could not have had the huge stolen wealth and business empire he had today prior to being governor of Abia state.  Because people with such wealth and business empire like Adenuga, Dangote, Bill Gate, Warren Buffett and host of others never have interest, time or need to being a governor of  state and much less a small state like Abia. They do not even want to be president. If at all they want to be president or governor they just want to give back to people. They would want to just expend their wealth on the people.
So for eight years this crook was governor of Abia how much of his so-called wealth (which truly was inexistent) did he give to Abia People? Were Abia people better-off after 8years of his lootship than they were before he showed up with political thugs, and assassins? The claim that his Slot business was operational in the 80s need be investigated. If slot was in business in the 80s, its operating capital, taxes to the governments, business operation, asset and workforce needed be investigated so as to rebut this crook.  But let us start with his mansions in Lagos, Abuja, and else where, lets find when they were built and this would give hint as to when and how Con Kalu got rich.
This crook claimed he was arms runner for the Nigeria Military, again, fa fa fa foul, what a baloney?  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. He claimed to have engaged in many varied profitable business ventures, so let’s investigated how many Nigerians or none Nigerians where employed in his business empires before his lootship of Abia State?
Obasanjo knew that this man was a crook but he could not prosecute him effectively because he himself Obasanjo was compromised, a cook 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.

Buhari: "Nigeria sitting on [Buhari's] gun powder"

Buhari: "Nigeria sitting on [Buhari's] gun powder"  vanguard 7/21/14

What an exhibition of shamelessness for Buhari to say that Nigeria is sitting on gun powder. This statement is but an extension of Buhari's declaration that the
Street of Nigeria would follow in blood prior to 2011 election. Only that this time he is childishly but evilly diplomatic. For 2 years Boko Haram has spill the land
with the blood of tens of thousands of innocent Nigerians in its campaign to make Nigeria an Islamic state and in 1983 this man, Buhari overthrew a democratically elected national government and these did not set Nigeria on gun powder. Yet the constitutional removal and impending removal of local chief executives by elected local assemble men and women is what is in Buhari's thinking, the sitting of Nigeria on edge of precipice.

No, the gun power Nigeria is sitting on is Buhari's unbridled, rabid and drunkness for power. Power he would use to achieve politically what Boko Haram is trying to achieve militantly. Folk remember it was Bahari's dictatorship that gave birth to the idea of Islamizing Nigeria when he undemocratically pulled a secular Nigeria into membership to an Islamic religious organization, OIC which was finally consummated under the dictatorship of the gap toothed crook, Con IBB.

Yes I agree, Nigeria is sitting on gun powder not because of democratically and constitutional impeachment of governors but rather because of Buhari's power drunkness and the birth of Boko Haram, which is Buhari's brain and ideological child.

Buhari, Kwankwosa, two faces of the same Coin

"APC presidential ticket: Buhari, Kwankwaso’s supporters set for showdown" sun newspaper, 6/22/14


Buhari, Kwankwosa, two faces of the same Coin

Neither Buhari nor Kwankwosa  would make good leadership in Nigeria, a multi-ethno religious society. It is absolutely impossible to be a religious zealot and at the same time be a good, fair and just leader in a multi-religious society. Because it is impossible to serve two masters, one religion and the other secularity, at the same time. It is obvious the servant would favor one over the other. The false belief by Hausa/Fulani military and civilian leaderships that one can serve two master is one of the major problem that have bewitched Nigeria. Hausa/Fulani military and civilian governments failed Nigeria and sent the country 50 years backwards, because it is impossible for a devout Muslim or   a religious zealot to differentiate Islamic  theocracy or Islamic religion,  from the state.
Both Buhari and Kwankwosa and most Hausa/Fulani political class are scholarly Islamic zealots heavily schooled in Islamic theocracy and therefore incapable of leading a multi-ethno religious country like ours. So it is no surprise that over 28 years of Hausa/Fulani leadership was complete failure and retrogression in national development. Too much love for religion only lead to intolerance and discrimination against none observant of the religious faith. Both Buhari and Kwankwosa are diehard Islamists and would never have love for Nigerians of other faiths. And both like most Hausa/Fulani elites would therefore deepen ethnic, religious and tribal rivalry in Nigeria.
If Benue, Plateau, Adamawa, Nasarawa, Kogi, Taraba, with good percentage of none Muslims are truly northern states and not pawns in the Hausa/Fulani rabid quest for power, then let them give us presidential candidate. And why north if they too are called north, after all What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Islam is truly a religion of violent peace, however, not by choice.

Islam is truly a religion of violent peace, however, not by choice.

As for the Islamic insurgency in Nigeria we must hold northern elders, political and religious leaders responsible. Yes, Islam has history of violence but we must not hold the Prophet Mohammed (peace being onto him) responsible. Because Mohammed (PBOH) as we can recall was an orphan raised by a relative and was evidently poor. A look back in history would show that Mohammed (PBOH) and Mohammedians were peace loving and Islam was founded on the principle of peace and for the eluviation of pain of sufferings of the poor. In the beginning Mohammed (PBOH) and his followers were constantly forced to defend their belief, lives and even their right to exist by constant aggression from godless medinians. Many times, Mohammed (PBOH) was ostracized from the land, from the present Saudi Arabia. Even in exile, Mohammed (PBOH) was pursued and attacked by then godless Saudis who thought that Mohammedianism was infringing in their corrupt way of lives. It should be recalled that Christ and earlier Christians had the same experience from the Jews and Romanians. The difference was that while earlier Christians preach, love, peace even at death, Mohammedians who were confronted with constant aggression chose to match violence with violence. The violence which initially was only a means of survival in the mist of overwhelming aggression eventual become part of Islamic religion. This is why every Muslim would always say that it is a sin to attack and kill innocent person but okay to attack and kill one who attacks you. Truly, this Islamic doctrine and position to defend and attack ones' aggressor for self- preservation is logical. However, there is a caveat and that is, to majority of today's none scholarly Muslims a none Muslims is an infidel, and therefore an enemy with either perceived passive or active aggression against Islam and its followers. So today's Islamic aggression has origin in historic persecution and unjustified killing of earlier Muslims by the ungodly Medinians. To remedy, reduce and eventually eliminate Islamic violence require education and abolition of the word infidel and unbeliever from the Koran, from Islamic texts and from the psych of Islamic faithfuls.
Mohammed (PBOH) an orphan, raised poor, if not for super natural intervention ordinarily could not had risen from the ashes to world recognition with over 2 billion diehard followers. Like Christianity, that Islam had a supper natural origin is evidently not in doubt. It would be foolishness to deny that an orphan, poor Mohammed (PBOH) whose influence in today's world is only comparable to Christ's, was an extraordinary being.

More than meets the eye

More than meets the eye

Under the current security situation of Islamic insurgency led by the youths of the Muslim North any such innocent unique mass movement especially by the Northern young men should have been reported to authorities in all their transit states and cities before commencement of such movement. Given the current insurgency, the state governments from where these people originated should have known that their indigenes were making this mass movement. These people if they were intelligent, none-insurgent they should have reported their movement if not for any other reason, at least for their own safety from mass mob and lynching in the hands of their potential hosts who are disillusioned by the mass murdering of people by the Muslim youths insurgency. 500 well trained insurgency is more than a battalion of irregular soldiers capable of overrunning a city of in a split second.

I am also of the view that South East policy makers must see the wisdom in maintaining within the confines of the law a regulated vigilante and militia force for minor internal security challenges within SE and for initial response to unwarranted provocations from without. I believe that a measure of force is required to maintain mutual fear and respect.

Though ironical, but peace is guaranteed by the readiness, the ability to prosecute war. In short terms Peace is the product of either war or mutual fear and or respect. Historically and contemporary, those that love peace but hate war never had peace because in a practical sense peace and war are mutually inclusive with war being superior of the two. Why, because perceived predisposition to peace neither guarantees the absence of war, nor peace, but perceived war-likeness preponderancely guarantees peace.

The history of mankind, of empires, of emperor, of, kingdoms, kings, colonialism, even of religion, is more or less the history of wars and conflicts between, people, kingdoms and or religion.

-

So war and not peace defines humanity better. Those who or whose ancestry had the means, the ability and the will to wedge wars not only defines the world politics but also divided the earth's bounties of land, island, waters, mountains, nations borders and sovereignty.

Cesar and his Roman empire, Hannibal and his empire, alexander the great and his empire, Peter De Great and Russia Empire, gungesta con and mongolia empire, the barbarians, the British empire, the Japanese empire, the China empire, the othman empire the beveria empire, america empire, and all poweful nations and or people in human history were powerful not because of their love and desire for peace but rather because through wars and the will to make wars they decide and define human history, human morality, power, politics, property ownership, and territory boundaries of the nation states. Like in the past, today' s powerful nations or world powers are so described, feared and respected because they possess the means, ability and will to wedge wars so as to impose their Will and define and shape world politics, morality and social order. Simply put those with means, ability and will to make wars have and will continue to control, governments,
resource, buying and selling, define and shape political, social or moral order either international or nation state so levels or both.

So it is no surprise that the Nigeria north upon which Nigeria military institutions and department, Nigeria's means to make war is varsely located determines, political, and economic order of the country. The falacy that the north is poor only but figment of imagination of those who make and believe this atrocious and false statement perhaps just to make themselves feel good. It is not by peace but by war that Othorman Dan Fodio, the found of Sokoto caliphate captured and conquered large expanse of land in the today's north and south west of nigeria

Midnite Stalker   respondaed  
1. He stopped you for your brake light not working.
 2. You did not give the registration 'On Demand'. By your own admission, you spent time asking..., begging..., and trying to make him understand.... It was only after that that you gave the driver's license, then the registration. That is not 'On Demand'.
 3. I am a Black man of African descent. I've gone to court and had tickets dismissed. I've also had police officers not write tickets even when I deserved one. How you speak to and approach other people determines how they will react to you.


I respond to Midnite Stalker
"Midnite Stalker" Your name says it all about you, a midnite stalking angel. The name, aka, aliases, nickname we consciously or unconsciously assume reflect our up-bringing, class, family and mindset. So your online name gave you out, you're not the saint you're pretending to be.
 I never said that all police officers or that all Judges are prejudicial. You're very lucky and must be living in a totally different world where there is no prejudice, no Rodney King, no Amadu Dialo etc. In Maryland and in USA the right for freedom of movement is the law. Both the law, common courtesy and decency demand that the police informs a citizen the reason for arrest, for traffic stop.
 I was within my right to ask why I was stopped, because I neither knew nor made aware that my brake light was out. I understand, like me you came from a dark continent were citizens have no right, not even right to life but unlike me you still cling to that mentality, the slave mentality, the right-less mentality. But I know better and I am free because I live in a free country and I intended to fully claim and defend my right otherwise I have not learnt anything from this great country. I am no freedom fighter however I have nothing against those that fight for their right and freedom. But I believe you're the kind that called Martin Luther Junior JR, 'a trouble maker.'
 That you broke the law and a bad cop let you off the hook only means that there are bad cops out there that take law onto their hands. Have it crossed your mind that such cop that let you off the hook while you broke the law because you played a wimp might arrest an innocent citizen who broke no law but stood on his lawful right. It is better to obey the law than to seek leniency, Mr. Righteousness Midnite Stalker

The Justice aren't blind, it has the eyes of the Judge

The Justice aren't blind, it has the eyes of the Judge

I just return from a court hearing where I was found guilty by Judge Lisa A.H, Johnson of the District Court of Maryland for Prince George's County located at Courthouse 14735 Main Street, Upper Marlboro, MD 20774. And here are the details of this court case.

On March, I was stopped by a county police officer. Having pulled me over, the officer approached me and demanded my Driver's license and vehicle registration but failed to tell me why he pulled me over and why he needed my Driver's license and vehicle registration. So I asked him, "Sir, why did you stop me" and he responded "because I am a police officer". I literarily begged him to tell me why he pulled me over but he did not bulge. He insisted that I must give him my driver's license and Registration first. I tried to make him understand that being a police officer is not enough to stop and profile a law abiding citizen but my logics were waste of time for him. So I gave him my driver's license and then reached my glove box compartment for my registration and he then told me that he stopped me because one of my break lights was out.

But because there were other documents and letters in my glove compartment I took me extra few seconds to find my vehicle registration. However, before I could pull the registration out the officer have already left for his service vehicle, but before he left he said to me "when you find the registration tap your horn and wave the registration and do not step out of the car." Just as he entered his car I tapped my horn and waved the registration. About 25 minutes later the Officer returned to me and I tried giving him my registration but he refused it saying that he does not need it because he found all my information using my driver's license. However, he issued me two tickets, one for repair order for the defective break light and the other, a $## ticket for not 'producing my registration on demand.'

So I challenged the $## ticket based on the fact that I produced my registration On Demand which is what the law stipulated but the police officer disagreed and Judge Lisa A.H. Johnson agreed with the officer that I did not produce my Registration on demand. In her ruling Judge Johnson said that On Demand means immediately. According to Judge Johnson, On Demand means instantaneous but I disagree.

The reason I challenge this $## ticket was not because of the monetary cost but because I believe the ticket was unjust, issued with malice and for the police officer's unprofessional conduct and intimidation. He issued me the $## ticket because I asked him why he stopped me. In the court the police officer said I argued with him without substantiating or giving the details of the argument. My asking why he stopped me may be the argument he stated before the court. In stating that I argued with him the Officer was exploiting Judge Johnson's bias in favor of the Police. In almost all her Judgments that I witnessed on this particular day, Judged Johnson treated the police as the victim and the citizen defendants like villains and brutes the police should be protected from.

But as I said, this police officer issued me this ticket just because I asked to know why he stopped me. But Judge Johnson saw it differently and I was neither surprise nor in pain in paying the ticket along with the court cost because it is a general belief that Blacks of African descent never receive justice neither from African American police officers nor from African American Judges when the parties involved are all blacks. I had wanted to appeal this judgment but the Judgment letter the court gave me did not advise me on appeal.

 

North wants a blank Census Form and Federal Character at the same time

Their constitution is Nigeria and Nigeria is their constitution

Nigeria is a country made of many ethnic nationalities and religions. Census is the ideal project where these diversity need be captured for historical, genealogical, political and economic planning purposes. But I wonder how Federal Character, State of Origin, Catchment Area are constitutional backed policies but knowing the population of Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba , Igbo, Ijaw, Ishakiri, Ibibio, Egon, Tiv, Edo and over 300 other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria is diversionary, divisive and unhealthy in the thinking of the Hausa/Fulani hegemony?
Now, in the 2016 census let's us in the name of peace and one Nigerianess continue to capitulate for the Hausa/Fulani whims and caprice and just count Nigerians as Nigerians and not on state by state bases if this is what they want. Let us give every Nigerian a numerical digit and do away with names which may hint to our ethnicity so that by this doing we would have completely done away with   ethnicity and religion and other citizen tribal differences. I am quite sure Con IBB and his fellow crooks from the north reeling against the inclusion of religion and ethnicity in 2016 would object to this type of census that would be100% free of tribal and religious differences and sentiments. As we continue to dance the Hausa/Fulani dance of death and under the constitution given by their military henchmen,  my caution to  well Nigerians is for us to understand that peace NOT based on mutual fear and respect, equality, equity and justice is at best a truce, a postponement of the day of doom; is a peace between a Master and a servant.
It shouldn't be a surprise that Con IBB and hegemonic Hausa/Fulani want just a half measure and not full measure in eliminating tribal and religious differences in 2016 census. Because the status quo favors their region, religion and ethnicity. The status quo of 19 northern states (13 Hausa/Fulani controlled States with Christian minority and other northern minorities shredded among heavy Hausa/Fulani population in the three other northern states) as against 17 in the south; the status quo of twice the number of local governments in the North as there are in the south; the status quo of Muslim North being in absolute overwhelming majority in13 states and in simple majority over the Christian North in another 3 states of North. These 19 northern states and so many local governments translates to so much, political, social, religiously, economical, legislatively, etc advantages
The 19 states means the north would get 19 state shares in federal allocation
Twice the of LGAs means the north would get twice local government shares in federal allocation to local governments
It means the north would have 6 senate seat advantage over the south which means the north controls the legislative arm of the government
It means the north have over 30 legislators advantage of the south in the lower house.
It means by federal character the north would always have more federal executive cabinet members over the south; more federal employees, more students in the federal universities and unity schools, more personnel in the police and army 
It means the northern minority would forever be subservient to Muslim Hausa/Fulani.
It means that Hausa/Fulani is 16 states ahead in producing the president of Nigeria as against 6 for the Yoruba and 5 for the Ibo.
Its means Christian North would never build their schools and places of worship without the approval of Muslim Hausa/Fulani Leader and as one would imagine approvals for building churches in the Muslim northern are as difficult as the head of cow going through the eye of a needle.
So the advantage the Muslim north enjoys with the status quo is beyond description hence it would be utter madness in their part for them to support any policy or action that would scuttle their strangle hold and advantage over other Nigerians. So we know why census with religion and ethnicity data would not be welcomed by the Muslim north.  For them Nigeria is not broken so why fix it. For them a Sokoto or Bornu desert dweller can take full and absolute control of Liquid black gold found at the backyard of riverine man living over a thousand kilometer from the desert man.  For them census with information on religion and ethnicity would reveal either of two things; either that their self-arrogated advantage is correct and therefore should be maintained or that they are taking more than their fair share from the current arrangement in Nigeria and hence an end to their political and economic rape. So why should they take the risk, to know if the Muslim north is actually  as numerous as they claim to be when such risk could expose a dislikeable truth. I for one would not try to fix that which favors me and not yet broken. Every time one proposes justice, equity, equality, fairness and justice, Hausa/Fulani would object on the base of the 1999 Hausa/Fulani constitution, they would say 'it is against the constitution.' their constitution. They pretend to not know that the problem with Nigeria is fundamentally and foundationally constitutional. Yet they are always quick to reference the same faulty foundation because a shaky Nigeria is Nigeria owned and controlled by Hausa/Fulani
   But how?
Under the current pseudo federalism in Nigeria today, federal allocation that is given on state and local government bases mean that, the more states and or local governments a zone or state has the more money it gets from the center. The current state and local government partitions in Nigeria were all executed by Northern military dictatorial regimes and were skewed as one would imagine, favoring the old Northern region. One could not help but ask, what were the bases or criteria for the creation of the existing 36 states and 774 local governments by the military dictatorships? No criteria whatsoever, perhaps I should say that the creation of the existing states and local governments were based on arbitrary war and peace time military strategy, expediency, cronyism, nepotism, tribalism and or political manipulation. If military dictatorships are aberrations so are the political structures and partitions done by the dictatorships. Once again what were the bases for the creation of the present 36 state structure and 774 local governments? What if a local government depopulates to zero population due to natural or manmade disaster, would this local government continue to receive federal allocation just by the mere fact that it already exists even when it is inhabited by wild beasts only?
With the current flawed divisionary indigenous acts in most states in Nigeria an Ibo man living in any other part of Nigeria outside Igbo land is treated as an indigene of one of the Igbo states, a stranger to his state of residency. So in states creation and or local governments creation such Ibo man should also be assigned or counted to an Igbo state and not to the state where he resides until such a time the regressive divisive indigenous laws in the states are changed. But this was not the case when the present states and local governments were created by the Northern Military Juntas. For instance, Kano has 44 local government councils which perhaps took into account none indigenes living in Kano. However these none indigenes are not accorded ‘indigene-ship rights and privileges. So if there are 3M Ibos for example living in Kano and it becomes necessary that these Ibos move back to their states as is the case with Boko Haram attacks in the north, then Kano state would lose 3000000 residents but still keeps its 44 local governments; while the states where these Ibos relocated still maintain their twice less the number of local governments as Kano State. This arrangement is not only unfair but also wrong and criminal. With this arrangement, Kano State has it both ways and there is sound moral ground to legally and politically challenge the current geo-political arrangement and partitions in Nigeria. This is an example of nepotism, tribalism, cronyism that the January 1966 rebels and Gideon Orkar group complained about, it still exists and in a worse form.
South East zone have only five States and 98 local councils while the other zones have either 6 or 7 states and some have 188 local councils and the national cakes are given out on state and local government bases. Does anybody honestly believes that each of the three zones in the north is more populated than the Ibo population in Nigeria? The colonial masters recognized that in Nigeria then, there were 3 major ethnic groups, viz, the HausaFulani, the Ibo and the Yoruba ethnic groups. By the colonial master’s official record these three major tribes where more or less equal in population. There exist no colonial master’s official record that says that even though there are three major tribes, that Hausa/Fulani maintained super numerical population over Ibo and over the Yoruba tribes, yet in today Nigeria the Huasa/Fulani is in complete control of 13 states and majority in 3 other states in the Northern central which all together puts 16 states under Hausa/Fulani control while the Yoruba has only but 6 and Ibo 5. If this ratio 16:6:5 was the population of the Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba and Ibo respectively the British Masters would not have recorded 3 major tribes in Nigeria. Because 16 is not equal to 6 or 5, the British Masters would have rather said that there is one Major tribe in Nigeria, the Hausa/Fulani and about 300 others tribes.
This kind of injustice against Ibo and Yoruba by Northern military juntas in states and local government creation demands courageous leader all over the world's true democracies, ship and unity of purpose. If civil disobedience, political, legal pressures, national conference fails to halt this Igbo marginalization and disparity in federal to zone allocations, then social disengagement along with UN actions seeking Igbo autonomy should precede economic and political disengagement from the center. And this mass political movement will need courageous leadership, the type that is currently lacking in Nigeria and in Igbo land in particular.
The ongoing National Conference must recommend National Identity Card scheme backed with biometrics, an 8 to 10 year periodic national head count and a federal allocation based on congressional districts which in itself should be based on actual population of the human beings in the districts. As an example, every 400k to 600k people can make up a congressional district. Or the Conference for equity and fairness among the zones should provide for 7 or 8 states per zone and equal number of local governments among the zones. Contrary to Hausa/Fulani  fascination with land mass, all over the world's true democracies,  tax payable beings and not land mass is the criteria and bases for allocation except the land mass is taxed appropriately and proportionately.

"DUTSE—Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State has pledged to support the education of Fulani settlers from Niger Republic, as part of his efforts to enhance cordial relations between Nigeria and Niger.
Lamido spoke while receiving a delegation from Maradi State in Niger Republic which was in his office in Dutse, the state capital to thank him for his kind gesture.
He explained that supporting the young Fulani in Niger Republic to acquire education was not different from supporting same tribe in the country, pointing out that Nigerians, especially those in Jigawa State had common borders and similarities that bind both countries together.
The governor further said that there was very cordial and mutual understanding between the two countries even as Nigerien women were married in Jigawa State.

Curtail Boko Haram mass murder by un-sitting security personnel from the comfort of their offices, stations and barracks.

Curtail Boko Haram mass murder by un-sitting security personnel from the comfort of their offices, stations and barracks.
End Boko Haram mass murder in the cities by posting or mounting 24/7 security check points at 1.5 miles away from the city centers; at all the motor-able entry points or gates to the cities. In the 24 hours manning period security check points would be adjusted according to the presence or movement of people. Depending on the city size and number of entry points each check point can be manned effectively by 3 security personnel with one or two mobile squad patrolling city periphery and the fixed check points. It would be advisable to use same security officers for the same check points when and where possible. The primary responsibility at the check points would be to check vehicle loaded with IEDs, or motorcyclists, walkers carry IEDs and for particulars and identification check only when there are probable cause to demand for particulars and Identification.
Every 50 Km of Highways should have at least two Highway security patrols teams that head in opposite direction of the highway at any given time Each patrol vehicle team would have two security agents. The primary responsibility of these mobile squads is to accost suspicious persons, vehicles or activities on the highway and particulars and identification check of persons only when there exists probable cause to demand particulars and Identification from a road user. At every 50 to 100 km or at highway exit points should be a fixed security check points with same responsibility as the mobile squad. Motorist and road users must be advised as to the number, frequency and locations of other legitimate and legal security checks points they would expect on the road in the direction of their journey. The fixed highway check point and mobile squad must coordinate activities and work together.
Video cameras may be deployed at every check point and with every mobile unit. The cameras must be ON at all times. Taking bribes from road user must be strictly prohibited with harsh jail time and termination of service. There should be enough standby anti-terrorism response team of highly and powerfully armed personnel in each local government such that there would not be more than 20 minutes response time to reported terror or criminal activity. 
The above measure would not eliminate Boko Haram death squad but would deter and curtail their ability to inflict mass murder in the cities and on the highways. So Nigeria Soldiers would then concentrate and deploy in the villages and bushes where Boko Haram attacks are frequent and unchallenged. The reason rag tag book Haram has become a formidable menace is because our security agents are not as proactive as they ought to be and this may be due to poor training, poor equipment and poor compensation. All the above mitigating factors  against effective policing need change if Nigeria intends to root out Boko Haram and terrorism from the country.

In addition to effective security patrols and security check points around major cities and highways in the north East and eventually in the North in general, then across Nigeria, the FG in conjunction with the State governments must Immediately begin Biometric Biographical Data capture of all persons in the North East, the North and Nigeria in General. This Data Capture would tremendously aid in the fight  against terrorism and all crimes. The data capture should starts with males 13 years and above in the North East then in all of the North and all over Nigeria and all citizenry.

Boko Haram is but an Institutional Failures.

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 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.

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 but 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 ongoing National Conference must recommend National Identity Card sheme backed with biometrics and an 8 to 10 year period national head count.

Free speech on display indeed! What an ego and self-serving Yoruba talk?

Free speech on display indeed!  What an ego and self-serving Yoruba talk?

 Olu asked Tokunbo; Tokunbo, do we mean what we say or we’re just saying it for the sake of saying it; or is this a new awaking for us? Tokunbo replied; Olu, just say it, who cares whether we mean it or not, is our exercise of our free speech.

Excerpt:  “This forced marriage of diverse ethno-national groups has produced tension and difficult moments for the country, Nigeria. The next step in charting a course for the future is to safeguard the destiny of the Yoruba people [through autonomous regional governmental system], and reconstruct the Nigerian federation”

I agree with Yoruba’s demand for regional government and regional autonomy; however this is not what they want, historically and even contemporarily. Does anybody still remember the Nigeria/Biafra civil war? Helloooooh?  Do anybody remember the Aburi accord; the type of government that was agreed upon at Aburi? Does anybody still remember Ojukwu?

The system of government agreed at Aburi between the Biafra delegation led by Ojukwu and Nigeria delegation led by Gowon was exactly the autonomous regional government been canvassed today by the Yoruba. Had Gowon and his Yoruba apologist not scuttled the Aburi accord, Nigeria would not have descended into 30 months of bestiality called civil war and 47x5 years of backwardness.  After Gowon’s returned from the Aburi, it was Yorubas in his government that educated him on confederation and cautioned him against implementing the Aburi accord. They warned Gowon that if he implements the Aburi accord he might as well kiss Nigeria goodbye. The Nigeria civil war slogan echoed in Lagos, South,west, and in the North was, ‘Gowon, you must keep Nigeria one, unitary’

The question becomes , has the Youraba just awaken to the ideal of autonomous regional government or confederation that Ojukwu toiled so much to achieve 47 years ago at Aburi only to be scuttled by some Yorubas in the then Nigeria Government? Or, are these Yorubas demanding autonomous regional government today so young or unborn in 1960s that they know not that their people fought and killed Biafrans just to scuttle autonomous regional government system agreed upon at Aburi.

But by looking at the persons Alani Akinrinade, Wale Oshun, Tokunbo Ajasin and Adeyinka Adebayo,

 leading the crusade for autonomous regional system of government, one would notice that these Yoruba men if not part of the Nigeria soldiers that killed Igbos just  to keep Nigeria unitary and regions un-autonomous, they were old enough to understand the politics that led to the aggression by Lagos against the old south east.  Perhaps, to these Yorubas, 47 years ago Ojukwu was wrong for autonomous regional government but today he could be judged to be right. Or was this the case of bad messenger, Ojukwu carrying a good message, regional autonomy?   With every new political development in Nigeria the 60s and present day conspiracy by the South west and the North against Igbos are made manifest.    

 

How could the Yorubas say Regional “autonomy  or nothing” when it is the same quest for autonomy by Igbos and for all ethnic nationalities that  they, yorubas allied with the north, killed and starved 100s of 1000s of Igbos to death. There is something wrong and fishy with Yoruba’s today’s epiphany on the goodness of autonomous regional government in a multi-ethnical society like Nigeria. Or should one say that Ojukwu and Igbos are 47x5 years smarter than the Yorubas. No, I personally do not think that Yorubas as less smart rather I think their political class are evil and live in conflict with the truth.

 

Biafran existence in 1967 through 1970 was a necessary good while the civil war that followed its being was a necessary evil. Both Biafra and the civil war were meant to expose the conspiracy and Igbo hate in Nigeria.  As already said every new political development in Nigeria justifies Ojukwu Biafra and the Biafran cause and this is not to say that I clamor for a new Biafra State today. But without Biafra cause and experience one would not have known what to make of the Yoruba’s call for regional autonomous government. Without Biafra one would not know who lied to who, in Nigeria; before, during and after the civil war.

Folk, did anyone remember one of the civil war lies by the Gowon’s government against Ojukwu? Do anyone remember the lies Lagos told South East Minority, that Ojukwu dragged the South East minority to war againstNigeria so that Ojukwu and Ndi-Igbo would take control of Niger Delta oil. Unfortunately,   south East minority bought the Lagos lies and mortgaged their God given wealth to Lagos, to the Yorubas and to the North. Had the South east minority used common sense or even done a common arithmetic they would have known that One, their oil divided by few, the old south east people would have given more return per head than when the same one, oil, is divided by many, by the whole of Nigeria; but envy and hate always crowd out common sense. Today even though the Yoruba and the Hausa exploited the Niger Delta oil wealth, Igbos in-spite this conspiracy, by any measure are not faring too badly in Nigeria and I can authoritatively say that Igbo is not the most worst-off economically in Nigeria. With the current six geo-political zonal structure, Igbo is excised from oil rich south south but guess which zone or tribe that said over their dead body should resources be controlled locally; the north and not the South East you guessed right. The North said that it’s ready for second civil war if Niger Delta was allowed to control its natural resources. Along with their Yoruba apologist and naïve south- south people the north waged war against Igbos lying to the world that Ojukwu fomented the war for oil when the truth was that it was Lagos, the North and the South West and some brain dead South south people that went on jamboree of Igbo killing in 1967 through 1970 and lied about their motive, intent and action.

I am glad that events today, today’s reality has vindicated   an innocent man, Ojukwu and the innocent people Ndi-Igbo.   If Yorubas truly want autonomous regional governmental system, why have the majority of their people and political class joined the conservative Islamic theocratic feudal hausa/Fulani in the APC merger. The current status quo in Nigeria benefits the Hausa/Fulani, so how would APC dominated by these conservative feudalists guarantee regional autonomy to the Yorubas? In the ongoing National conference these feudalists have opposed anything federalism in practices. Folk let no one be fooled by Yoruba’s political correctness of segregation, unreliability,  none-trust-worthiness and wishy-warshy.   


One of My replies to Logical truth to his assaultive replies

My friend if what you have stated so far is truly your belief and understanding of the events before, during and after the Nigeria aggression on South East then I have great sympathy for your deficient in facts, history and willfully ignorance.
I am glad you did not call Igbo stupid but greedy and of course greed and stupidity are universe apart. I rather be called greedy than thief and stupid because 90% of humanity is greedy but few are thieves and or stupid. And many in your area are stupidly thievery and here is how. Your people cowardly gave up your land and your natural resources to the Hausa/Fulani - Yoruba oligarchy only to covert Igbo property as abandoned property. Your laziness and the laziness of people like you would forever becloud people of your kind to envy and hate the successful and hard work and hence the poverty in your swamp despite swimming in ocean of black gold. Go to UAE and see how people blessed with ocean of black liquid gold but not perverted, not cowardly disposed, not covetous, not envious of the successful live their lives. Go to UAE and see people who are ready to defend what is theirs, and enjoy their God given natural wealth live the lives. In your people's case, you cowardly abdicated your responsibility, instead of protecting what was rightfully yours you abandoned your land wealth for your dreadful masters the Hausa/Fulani - Yoruba Oligarchy and channeled your childish anger to the Igbo whose fault was trying to protect you from these masters. Yet, in your fear, ignorance, cowardly disposition, pettiness and littleness you focused your perverted minds and thoughts in the little things, the Igbo properties instead on your huge oil wealth. You conspired and handed the messiah, the Igbo that wanted to protect you, along with your god given wealth to the enemy so that you would covet Igbo property. You put your minds in the little stuff, the Igbo property and gave up the big stuff you liquid black gold. Since then God almighty have not forgiven you because you have neither repented nor shown remorse, nor acquired knowledge nor wisdom hence the desolation, poverty, degradation, pestilence, in your enclave.
The abandoned property abomination has not stopped the Igbo from acquiring more property all over Nigeria and there is nothing you can do about it except to stay in your ashes of ignorance, of cold feet, of hate, envy, jealousness, poverty, covetousness and thievery. May the God Almighty forgive your people and show them mercy and unclog their blindness and set them free from the demon of hate, envy, jealousy, ignorance, cowardice, pettiness, covetousness and laziness.

Islamic insurgency, Obasanjo's Greek gift Nigeria

Islamic insurgency, Obasanjo's Greek gift Nigeria  

The war against Islamic insurgency in Nigeria is not a winnable war and not because of the strength or capacity to cause destruction and mayhem by the terrorists, rather because any Muslim person, group, organization or country waging war against infidels whether for right or wrong reasons must by the dictates some form of perverted Islamic ideology receive direct or tacit support from all devout Muslims around the world. Islam is an occult, a brotherhood occultism, however this is not the original Mohammed (PBOH) Islam. In today's Islam it is an offense punishable by death if a Muslim opposes another Muslim fighting infidels in the name of Allah, Mohammed ( peace be into him) and in the name of Sharia. During Islamic jihadism any Muslim not supporting the jihad but sits on the fence is as guilty as the infidel and must be treated as such.

When Obasanjo for political power, allowed some northern states to adopt customary Sharia legal code hardly did he foresee the monster he was about to birth;  the monster that we now know may consume the country 'he so much loved.'  Nigeria is country with so many checkered past, however, the introduction and assent to Sharia legal system in some northern states was the highest blunder ever done  it.   When the dust of the terror of Sharia and associative Islamic terrorism settles and maybe, and I mean maybe Nigeria recovers, Nigerians would come to know that Obasanjo’s Sharia gift did more harm to country than all the coups, the civil war, the kidnappings,  all the armed robberies combined.  Some Obasanjo apologists have argued that sharia was already incorporated in the 1999 Hausa/Fulani military decree, AKA Nigeria constitution. Well Nigeria is also a signatory to the international for the right to self determination by the indigenous nationalities, Obasanjo shouldn't have bombed the odi people. Perhaps we should let the Igbos succeed?   

My biggest fear is that the Ginny had been let off the bottle and there is no going back from Sharia system in some part of the country. Sharia is like a metastatic cancer that can only spread and grow outward. A customary Sharia is like a half Sariah system, like a half education or half knowledge, is like a Muslim being half Moslem and half something else, these are dangerous dispositions.  Folk there is nothing like half Muslim or half Sharia. I say these things without prejudice because I believe that there is one God, Allah and Christ is the son of God, the Allah and Mohammed (PBOH) is messenger of Allah and these are the requirements for being either a Christian or a Muslim or both and I am both. However I am first a Humanist then a religious being because religion is meant for men and not men for religion. Its impossible to love God one sees not if one hates a human god who is his or her neighbor. My Allah is so powerful beyond comprehension that it would make no sense protecting Her from the weakly human or killing them for Him. Ignorance is the disease afflicting Boko Haram and all religious extremism. These extremists serve god so little, weak, vulnerable that it needs protection from its human followers.      

So Obasanjo’s Greek gift that gave rise to this Islamic insurgency has three possible ends, none of which is good for the Nigeria Nation.

1.       Full adoption of full blown Sharia systems in the states and area that want this Islamic legal code; therefore a two full independent judiciary system; one for  those that want Sharia system and the other for the rest. But two full independent legal codes require two separate constitution, two different legislatures, and therefore two independent nations. So one of the possible outcomes of Obasanjo’s self-serving gift of Trojan horse he gave not out of malice but of poor sightedness is the disintegration of Nigeria.

2.       Perpetual   insurgency and war of attrition that would stagnate growth and development; keeping Nigeria in a state of perpetually war and undeveloped.  Jihadism can only be over permanently when the jihadists overrun and conquer their enemy and institute Sharia Islamic code or temporarily, when the last jihadist is captured, imprisoned and or eliminated.

Perhaps for the sake of peace and one Nigerianess, Nigerians of none Islamic faith may have to exercise greater sense of patriotism and convert to Islam and accept Sariah as national legal code.

3.       Confederation, a gloried federation unfortunately may be Nigeria’s only escape route from a potential disastrous explosive end that the Obasanjo’s gift is leading Nigeria to. In as much as I am completely for indivisibility of Nigeria, confederation  may be a win win solution for both Islamic Jihadist and for none Muslims; solution to the prevailing political religious quagmire  necessitated  by Obasanjo’s gift of half Sariah legal system.  

Some have suggested a negotiation between the government and Boko Haram and I wish them good luck and even in my doubt, I pray for good outcome from such negotiation. Shakur’s Boko Haram is no longer the same Boko Haram led by the Mohammed Yusuf. Any meaningful negotiations must directly or indirectly involve Muslem mullahs, the sheiks,  and leaders of Islamic terror organizations around the world. However these Islamic extremists do not compromise in their eternal quest and conquest for Islamic theocracy and Sharia legal system. Any negotiation with these ignoramus terrorist must be comprehensive and for comprehensive peace that would end their barbarism completely for sometime, hopefully. Negotiation involving just the prisoners swap would  be very disastrous; it would put a more dangerous tool and tactics into the hands of these homo-erectus species. In fact  negotiations for prisoner swap would mean victory for the terrorist and embolden them because there are millions of abduct-able people in the North. Negotiation with  Islamist  guarantees only but one thing, the postponement of inevitable religious war planted by the birth of Sharia legal code in the North with Obasanjo's assent. These Boko Haram bastards are demonic and it is impossible to negotiate peace with demons because they surely will come back, is only but  a matter of time.  

Yet all hopes are not lost for the preservations of Nigeria as one entity. Yes, a federation with a trigger-able confederation will not only save Nigeria but may also stop the Islamic insurgency with not even one more single shot of fire. With the ongoing national conference, and the current Islamic insurgency, a federation laced with trigger-able confederation couldn’t have been timelier.

And here is what I postulate; to negate the possibility of Nigeria degenerating into military dictatorship or into Islamism or all out religious war, the new constitution that would emerge from the ongoing National Conference must have a section or provision that guarantees democracy and religious secularity in Nigeria based on the atmosphere of mutual respect and or mutual fear and based on the equality of the citizenry among the peoples of the 6 political zones or of the 36 state of the federation.

Yes, the opportunity offered by the ongoing conference must be seized for the guarantee of lasting democracy and religious freedom in Nigeria. The conference must be used to guarantee every Nigerian and every geo-political zones or the federating units, political, cultural and religious freedoms and mutual respect and self-determination if the government at the center becomes, tyrannical, despotic, and or taken over by undemocratic religious extremists.

For the above ends, a new constitution from the ongoing conference must have provision that would AUTOMATICALY Dissolves the country into its federating units the moment undemocratic and religious extremists hijack, seize and usurp power and authority from a democratically constituted government. One may rightly argue that these rights already exist in the 1999 military decree which is the current law of the law. Yes they do exist but there are no consequences and never have there been consequences when dictators abrogate these unalienable rights.

After an automatic dissolution of the Nigeria State due to an undemocratic usurpation of power by undemocratic elements and or by religious extremist, the federating units would automatically become independent confederating states. Each new independent state may voluntarily choose to remain independent by itself or enter into political union with one or more of the other independent states as each independent state deems fit.

With this constitutional provision no sectional interest group, clique or religious extremist would fancy taking over the federal authority by force because if they succeed they would have only their tiny federating unit to rule and dictate to. For example, under this condition the people of north east Nigeria would determine whether they want to remain in Nigeria or under Boko Haram religious order by taking a popular decision for or against Islamism. If they popularly choose to remain in Nigeria by rejecting Boko Haram, then the Federal government should declare total emergency and total war against the insurgency in the North East. To effectively prosecute this war the government must be willing to handle mass movement of people or temporal relocation of the law abiding citizens to safer areas as it declares total blockade, total emergency and total war in the North East.  

The immediate benefit of a federation with a trigger-able confederation is that Boko Haram would no longer have any reasonable incentive to terrorize because their success would leave a tiny fraction of the former Nigeria, to Islamize if the citizens living in their area of influence and theater willingly welcome their type of religious doctrine.  North central and southern Nigerian must demand this trigger-able confederation in the ongoing national conference if they wish to maintain their way of life, culture and religion.  Though not absolutely necessary but to make this new constitutional order work the military may need to be decentralized and balanced among the federating units either at state or at zoning levels.

 

               

South Korea; what a poor bad country that Nigeria would want to envy!

Responding to "American boots on Nigerian ground?" by Uche Ezechukwu, Sun newspaper, 5/12/14

 

South Korea, what a bad country to envy.    

I disagree with your analysis and summation in this article, Ezechukwu. The reason this administration accepted this foreign military assisttace is because of people like, me, you, that have taste for bad News events; organizations like the APC party that for political gain wishes and prays for the failure of the current administration even if it means Nigeria going down the drain with the administration’s failure;  the Hausa/Fulani political elites’ whose rabid  quest power have  time and time again   demonstrated complacence, and tacit support for the insurgency; the amnesty international and a whole host of the persons, groups, NGOs, whose continued relevancies and jobs stability  is consist in see-no-good in any government, organization  that are no part of the Amnesty International. But don’t get me wrong I have nothing against Amnesty International, these organization in many respect does a good job on human right but the truth remains that like the news media, the work and the essence of this organization is majorly to report negative news and events otherwise it would be out of business.   

 Nigeria ethnic/tribal suspicion, instability, and configuration, must also be taken into account;   Mr. Ezechukwu, how so soon have you forgotten that ACF, the political mouthpiece of Hausa/Fulani political elites, few months ago threatened to take the former COAS, General Ihejirike to ICC for progom and ethnic cleasing of Moslems even when Ihejirika  served, professionally, efficiently and effectively and to greater degree curtailed the excesses Boko Haram . Have you forgotten that last two weeks Nyako sent a report to the Northerner Governors’ Forum alleging that Jonathan’s presidency is behind the Boko Haram Insurgency as a ploy to repeat the a 1966 massacre of Northerner political elites by Easterners.

Mr. Ezechukwu, it is very disingenuous in your part for you to forget and ignore the political reality and the ethnic division, suspicion and mistrust in Nigeria, the presently globalized world, just to score some cheap editorial acclamation. If Jonathan refuses this help and God forbids these girls were never recovered you and your likes would be the first to criticize him for turning down the help for the girls’ rescue. Besides, Nigeria is neither more advanced military or technological than former soviet republics, Lithuania, Ukraine etc, begging for military help against Russian Czar, Vladimir Putin; nor is Nigeria more developed than many Latin America countries where America formerly or currently provides military Umbrella. Mr. Ezechukwu, we must neither let off the guide nor take our eyes off the ball which is the safe recovering of these girls by any means necessary, and we must not let pride get in the way because as they say, pride comes before fall.

 In your article you alluded and touted Nigeria military alliance to None Alliance and I am neither a proponent nor an opponent of military alliance so long as such military policy benefits Nigeria. However, given the current military capabilities, Nigeria None Alliance which you tried to eulogize was and is a bad policy because Nigeria is not better than any of the countries, allied to either NATO or to the Warsaw Pack. Pride and over-bloated ego and Islamism are the most likely reasons why Nigeria took the position of None Alliance. Instead of allying with the world class military powers of either of the Western or of the Eastern block the Nigeria Government led by Moslem military Juntas/politicians saw no religious reason to join either of the alliances since both were led by infidel Nations. Perhaps had Nigeria joined either alliance our military today would have done better in routing out ragtag Boko Haram Insurgency. I personally welcome American military help because at worst case scenario Nigeria would be like South Korea; what a poor bad country that Nigeria would want to envy!    

 

Nigeria, boko haram, and Islamism in a multi-cultural society: Because I love Nigeria, because I want peace In Nigeria I therefore preach war readiness by all.

Nigeria, boko haram, and Islamism in a multi-cultural society: Because I love Nigeria, because I want peace In Nigeria I therefore preach war readiness by all.

Though ironical, but peace is guaranteed by the readiness, the ability to Prosecute war. In short terms Peace is the product of either war or mutual fear and or respect. Historically and contemporary, those that love peace but hate war never had peace because in a practical sense peace and war are mutually inclusive with war being superior of the two. Why, because perceived predisposition to peace does not guarantees the absence of war, otherwise peace, but perceived  war-likeness preponderancely guarantees peace.

The history of mankind, of empires, of emperor, of, kingdoms, kings, colonialism, even of  religion, is more or less the history of wars and conflicts between, people, kingdoms and or religion.
-
So war and not peace defines humanity better. Those who or whose ancestry had the means, the ability and the will to wedge wars not only defines the world politics but also divided the earth's bounties of land, island, waters, mountains, nations borders and sovereignty.

Cesar and his Roman empire, Hannibal and his empire, alexander the great and his empire, Peter De Great and Russia Empire, gungesta con and mongolia empire, the barbarians, the British empire, the Japanese empire, the China empire, the othman empire the beveria empire, america empire, and all poweful nations and or people in human history were powerful not because of their love and desire for peace but rather because through wars and the will to make wars they decide and define human history, human  morality, power, politics,  property ownership, and territory boundaries of the nation states. Like in the past, today' s powerful nations or world powers are so described, feared and respected  because they possess the means, ability and will to wedge wars so as to impose their Will and define and shape world politics, morality and social order. Simply put those with means, ability  and will to make wars have and will continue to control,  governments,
resource, buying and selling, define and shape political, social or moral order either international or nation state levels or both.

So it is no surprise that theNigeria north upon which Nigeria military institutions and department, Nigeria's means to make war is varsely located determines, political, and economic order of the country. The falacy that the north is poor is only but figment of imagination of those who make and believe this atrocious and false statement perhaps just to make themselves feel good.

Save Nigeria by constitutuionally sitting it on the orderly edge as against the potentially chiaotic one it had remained on for so long.

Save Nigeria by constitutionally sitting it on orderly edge as against the potentially chaotic one it had remained on for so long.

Yes, it is an irony but true, Conferees I urge you all to tile a naught around a new constitution against coup, dictatorship, subversion, religious theocracy and undemocratic tendencies.

It would be normal to believe that at 21st century and 15 years of democratic dispensation that Nigeria must have risen above frays of coup and military dictatorship. However it will be highly irresponsible and naiveté of the highest order to believe, to act or to inact as if there exists no such forces and elements that are hell-bent to plunge Nigeria back to dictatorship or even worse, to subject Nigeria to strict Islamic theocracy.

The rabid quest for power by the power drunk Hausa/Fulani oligarchy; the cabals' quest to wrestle power from Jonathan at all cost can lead to military intervention either by military personnel sympathetic to the oligarchy's power starvation or by military personnel who correctly would not want the country to degenerate into another 38 years of Hausa/Fulani dictatorship and misrule.

But the immediate and real danger Nigeria faces today is the terror and threat posed by the terrorist Hausa/Fulani Boko Haramism. Boko Haram Islamism is an immediate and an existential threat to Nigeria. The threat posed by the power drunk Hausa/Fulani political oligarchies though real but it is nothing when compared to Boko Haram' s Interfida to Islamize Nigeria.

So to negate the possibility of degeneration into military dictatorship or into Islamism the new constitution that would emerge from the ongoing National Conference must have a section or provision that guarantees democracy and religious secularity in Nigeria based on the atmosphere of mutual respect and or mutual fear and based on the equality of the citizenry among the peoples of the 6 political zones or of the 36 state of the federation.

Yes, the opportunity offered by the ongoing conference must be seized for the guarantee of lasting democracy and religious freedom in Nigeria. The conference must be used to guarantee every Nigerian and every geo-political zones or the federating units, political, religious, freedom and mutual respect and self-determination if the government at the center becomes, tyrannical, despotic, and or taken over by undemocratic religious extremists.

For the above ends, a new constitution from the ongoing conference must have provision that would AUTOMATICALY dissolves the country into its federating units the moment undemocratic and religious extremists hijack, seize and usurp power and authority from a democratically constituted government.

After an automatic dissolution of the Nigeria state due to an undemocratic usurpation of power by undemocratic elements and or by religious extremist, the federating units would then become independent states. Each new independent state may voluntarily choose to remain independent by itself or enter into political union with one or more of the other independent states as each independent state deems fit.

With this constitutional provision no sectional interest group, clique or religious extremist would fancy taking over the federal authority by force because if they succeed they would have only their tiny federating unit to rule and dictate to.

The immediate benefit of this provision is that Boko Haram would no longer have any reasonable incentive to terrorize because their success would leave a tiny fraction of the former Nigeria, to Islamize. Though not absolutely necessary but to make this constitutional order work the military may need to be decentralized and balanced among the federating units either at state or at zoning levels.

 

Nigeria police killing Nigerians mainly of Igbo extraction

1. “But victim’s family wants more punishment for killer cops” sun newspaper 4/21/14

“When six policemen were on a routine patrol two years ago in Nasarawa State, little did they know that they would soon land themselves in a self-imposed mess. The mess was devastating enough to cost them their jobs and subsequently land them in the cell.

On January 6, 2012 in New Nyanya area of the state, six policemen – Inspector Danladi Lelika, Inspector Odua Eketo, Sergeant Vincent Manu, Corporal Christopher Maikasua, Corporal Musa Audu and Corporal Samson Mago, were on a patrol to protect lives and property. But the mission went sour when one Stephen Anakwe, a dog breeder in Jos, was allegedly shot dead by the team.

As if that was not enough, acting on the report from the patrol team, few days later, the police paraded the corpse of the defenseless civilian, branding him a suspected criminal. Infuriated by the allegation, a younger brother to the deceased, Mr. Stanley Olisa, petitioned the then Inspector General of Police, Hafiz Ringim, and other authorities about the injustice and the criminality.

The six officers, as gathered by Daily Sun, are presently cooling off their heels in the police cell in Makurdi, Benue State. Following the killing, an investigation panel was set up under the Criminal Investigation Department. The report revealed that the policemen had questions to answer before the court of law. The force authorities, therefore, ordered their immediate dismissal.

Mr. Stanley Olisa told the reporter: “On January 14, 2012, a lady called me from Jos that my brother had a problem with the police in New Nyanya, Nasarawa State. On January 16, I went to the place and I made inquiry from residents of the area and they told me that my brother was beaten up with his right eye plucked out. They said he was picked up alive from the scene by six policemen on January 13, 2012, handcuffed and taken to the station in a police van while another policeman drove Stephen’s red Toyota car along.

Mr. Stanley said he expressed disbelief and shock when he was informed that the police later paraded his brother’s corpse a few days later with a twist that Stephen was a suspected armed robber and had been killed at the spot.

“My lawyer and I rushed down to the New Nyanya Police Station, Nasarawa. We saw his car and met the Divisional Crime Officer (DCO), who told us that my brother was a suspected armed robber. The DCO explained that as his men were approaching my brother, he pulled out a pistol from his car, pointing it at a corporal, a situation that forced a sergeant among them to shoot my brother dead. I saw the story as a fabrication.”

As reported by Daily Sun on December 31, 2013, Mr. Stanley vowed to get justice over his late elder brother’s death, especially due to the mystery that surrounded the death.

“My lawyer asked of the corpse but was told that it was buried the same day that it was paraded. The lawyer queried the action, asking why the corpse was not deposited in a mortuary and why the police did not bother to reach the family through his mobile phone, his vehicle particulars and Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card. The DCO denied ever seeing any of those documents, a story that was repeated by the station’s Divisional Police Officer (DPO).”

He continued: “We left and immediately petitioned the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Minister of Police Affairs, Chairman of Police Service Commission, Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Executive Secretary of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Director General of State Security Service (SSS), among others. “The former IGP, Hafiz Ringim, responded two days later to the petition. We were later called over to the Police Command Headquarters, Lafia, Nasarawa State. The investigation was about to start when a message came that the case has been transferred to Zone 4, Makurdi, Benue State. The policemen asked me to hire a vehicle that would convey other police officers from Lafia to Makurdi that very day. With inconvenience, I went to source money to hire the vehicle to convey the police officers, my lawyer, the witness and myself to Makurdi. We arrived Makurdi at 11:30pm that day. Investigation began the next day by officers in the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).”

He said he was funding the investigation process, but he did not mind. Having received permission from the police, he went further to exhume the corpse which was almost beyond recognition. His mission was to find the cause of his brother’s death.

He said: “I got men from Benue State, who charged us N150, 000 to exhume the corpse. Also, we bought shovels and chemicals for the exhumation. At a point, my friend and I had to join in the exhumation process because two of the five boys could no longer endure the odour and had to leave. When we brought out the corpse, the head had gone off because of the injury my brother sustained in the hands of police officials. I could only identify him by his feet.

“It was the clothes that he was wearing that kept the body in form. We got an ambulance, which charged N50, 000 from the cemetery to Keffi General Hospital Mortuary, where we were told that the corpse had decomposed beyond what the mortuary could handle. The ambulance driver referred and drove us to his friend – a mortician- at Uke General Hospital, Uke, along Abuja Road. The mortician asked us to deposit N50, 000 to keep the corpse. He later charged us N180, 000 to preserve the corpse. Because there was not enough money with us, we made part payment to the mortician and the ambulance driver halfway. The CID officers came back to Abuja under my bill. I was the one that paid their hotel and food bills for the four days that they stayed.

“The autopsy was done by a pathologist from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Health Service Asokoro District Hospital, Abuja, at the cost of N450, 000. The autopsy report showed that my brother was shot from the back and that he was handcuffed.

“We later went to Makurdi where we applied for permission for police to release the corpse for burial. A corona was signed by the Court of Appeal before we were granted the authority to bury the corpse. On February 11, 2012, I left with the corpse to my state at the cost of N50, 000 and it was buried on February 14, 2012. The police wanted me to fund the ballistic analysis, which I refused at the time.”

He stated that the autopsy confirmed that his late brother was shot from the back, adding that there was no trace of bullet shattering his car. He described the allegation of Stephen being shot while in the car as empty.

When Daily Sun spoke with the former Assistant Inspector General (AIG) in charge of Zone 4, Makurdi, Mr. Michael Zuokumor, he said: “Well, there are lots of cases before us here. What we do in this place is to play advisory role over the Commands, and the Commands are manned by Commissioners of Police. But, if there are complaints, we look into them to ascertain if injustice has been done to anybody.

“Police duty is to ensure safety of lives and property. Police should not be part of killing but, mind you, they carry guns because at times, in trying to make peace you need some form of force. But, if the police did not do it in a way they ought to do it, we look into it and if anybody is found guilty, the person will be dealt with according to law.”

Mr. Stanley recently told our correspondent that the police confided in him that the men had been dismissed from the force. His words: “They have investigated the matter and for now, the policemen have been dismissed. They showed me the dismissal letter, but what they are delaying now is to go to court.

“So far, I would say that the police have done well. But dismissing them is not enough. They must pay for the crime they committed, according to the law. As you know, it is only the court that can give verdict of any punishment that befits them.”

He said his mission was to make sure that the death of his brother brought a revival to the police force. “Certainly, my late brother can’t come back to life but it will serve as a lesson to others and possibly prevent them from being overzealous with the rifle. Believe me, many might have been killed in the past without bringing the culprit to book. We cannot continue in that light. My mission is to prevent other innocent Nigerians from losing their lives in the hands of an institution that is supposed to be protecting them.”

Confirming the dismissal, former Provost, Zone 4 Makurdi, Umar Mohamed in a telephone interview with our correspondent, said the step was to hold all police officers accountable for their actions. He maintained that any officer that runs contrary to statutory responsibilities would be dealt with according to law.

According to him, the report from the team of Criminal Investigation Department showed that the officers were found wanting in connection with the murder of Stephen Anakwe. He said an immediate order was given from the police authorities that the six men be dismissed and sent to the cell.

Hear him: “I am fully are aware of the case. By the grace of God, the dismissal is part of the ongoing transformation agenda of the police force. It is true that those six policemen have been dismissed, as you may be aware. We are now waiting for the case to be taken to court.

“In fact, after the investigation, the police authorities resolved that they were found guilty and based on that, we dismissed them.

There is also an order that they should be charged to court. The next step now is for the police to take them to court. As we speak, they are right in the cell in Makurdi. Formerly, l was in Zone 4 as the Provost, that was when we tried the officers but right now, I am in Benue Command.”

The late Stephen’s father, Mr. Emmanuel Olisa Anakwe from Anambra, said the death of his beloved son had devastated him. He said: “I am not happy with the police on how they killed my son. What else can l say? My son is dead and l am sad and the pain becomes stronger whenever l am reminded of my hardworking son.

“Nothing could have made my Stephen go into robbery. He was a responsible son, doing well with his business in Jos. His character was okay, a well-behaved boy. It’s not because l am his father. Dismissing the police officers that killed him is good but it is not enough. So far, we have spent so much money in exhuming the corpse and burying him. The family needs to be compensated for all these losses.

“I am using this opportunity to thank The Sun newspaper for a job well done, for standing by the truth.”

Stephen’s best friend, Mr. Moses Oguche said: “Stephen was a bosom friend, although l may not want to go into the details of our friendship because it will always make me cry like a baby. It feels so painful that Stephen was killed in such manner. He had been a good and genuine friend. He was the first child of his parents just as l am the first child as well.

“I know him to be somebody that will always stand for truth and justice. He even took people’s problem on his shoulder. I almost collapse when they called me that Steve was dead. The police cannot deny it that my friend was killed unjustly because many people witnessed the incident. “Because of the incident, l had to postpone my traditional marriage because Stephen was supposed to be my best man. Before his death, he was fully into the business of selling Alsatian dogs and God helped him in the business that he cannot think of stealing. In fact, l can vouch for him that he cannot go into robbery.

“More than ten people said the killing happened in their presence. The story that the police earlier gave us completely conflicted with that of the eyewitnesses. The mum usually calls me and l do sense the burden and pain in her voice. I believe the case is not one that should be swept under the carpet. Though the parents are poor and helpless but with this development, the hope of getting full justice is brightened.””

 

 

2. Murder: Police yet to declare killer cop wanted

About a year ago, a Lagos-based businessman, Santos Korie, was killed in his Sports Utility Vehicle by a policeman attached to the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority.

PUNCH Metro learnt that since the incident occurred in April 2013, the Lagos State Police Command had yet to declare the killer cop wanted.

PUNCH Metro had reported on April 12, 2013, that Korie was driving along Mushin-Isolo Expressway, but on getting to Daleko Bridge, he was accosted by two policemen for allegedly driving against traffic.

The family of the deceased had alleged that the police authorities had made efforts to cover up the crime as indicated in a statement issued by Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide.

Braide had said, “At about 7am, the Area Commander, Area ‘D’ Mushin, received a distress call that there was a shooting incident around Daleko Bridge, Mushin. Some policemen were immediately dispatched to the area, but on arrival, the gun men had disappeared.

“On enquiry, eyewitnesses clustering around told policemen that the gunmen were in police uniform and had operated in a commercial bus. The victim died on his way to the hospital.

“It was not immediately ascertained whether the gunmen were hired killers in police uniform or real police officers. Meanwhile, some arrests have been made and the suspects are currently being detained at the SARS for interrogation.

“It would be recalled that in recent time, gunmen operating in military and police uniforms have been involved in one violent crime or another and the Lagos State Command is not leaving any stone unturned in dealing decisively with any fake uniformed officer.”

However, after fresh investigation, PUNCH Metro learnt that one of the policemen, later identified as Corporal Paul with force number, 355393, was the one who shot the deceased at close range before fleeing.

The matter was subsequently transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba.

Our correspondent learnt that in the course of investigation, two policemen were arrested and detained at the SCID, but were later released.

A cousin to the deceased, Henry Madu, told PUNCH Metro that the family was depressed over the issue.

Madu said the case was pathetic because even a year after the incident occurred, the police had yet to pay a visit to the family.

He said, “The incident occurred on April 11, 2013. Santos was innocent. He did nothing wrong, but a trigger-happy policeman decided to end his life just like that.

“During investigations, two policemen were arrested. However, after a while, I was invited to the police headquarters in Lagos where the police explained to me that the two policemen arrested were not the prime suspects and would have to be released.

“I found out that one Corporal Paul, with force number 355393, was the killer, but the police has yet to declare him wanted. This is very unprofessional. I want his name and photo gazetted.

“Also, I know no amount of money can bring Santos back, but the police have not deemed it fit to even pay the family a visit. They are just acting like nothing happened.”

Braide has yet to respond to a text message sent to her telephone as of press time.
