READ::OUR PAGES Our Thoughts On How To Retake The Nigerian Space From Spoilers THE IGBO ALL AFRICA MUST KNOW: THE IGBO PEOPLE YOU MUST KNOW TO BE A TRUE AFRICAN

Western scholars want you to think that people of color have no written history.It turns out this is not a false narative. It is a subversion.The DNA evidence was sought by the scholars who wished to establish factual history. They made the following findings:using the mummies of Pharaoh Rameses the III and his son in December 2012, DNA tests were conducted on proved that they belonged to the IGBO race.The Y chromosome of the men belonged to the "E1B1A" DNA group.All IGBOs belong to this group.This group of people are the ones who speak the Niger Congo language.You find them especially their women when you see the two piece wrapper costume.Igbo people are the most populous and oldest of this group.The traditions document this fact so clearly.The IGBO is the language that actually root the so called "kwa" that European linguists tried to document.Their rich culture and religious belief is a remarkable preservation of a culture that has been traumatized and buffeted on purpose.They call the language spoken by the people in this DNA group the Niger-Congo languages.This is the language group of the entire Middle-belt of nigeria and part of present Kaduna state.This people are found in the present day Zimbabwe,Ghana,Uganda,most of Kenya,the Congos, Western Camaroons and most of if not the entire southern nigeria!

Historical artifacts going back to the deludge and the ruin of Atlantis show an ancient city belonging to this civilization.In parts of Zimbabwe the ruins of this ancient civilization is still visible.The IGBO mytology includes this as historical fact.It is where the name "Biafra" came from.The Benin called the city Uhe in the Idu.It is the spiritual Ife in Yoruba mytology.Those who need further references might look for works of Dr. Abdul Salau, a Nigerian and Visiting Assistant Professor at the Department of History, Political Science and Philosophy, Delaware State University, USA. One of his work includes a paper he presented showing Igbo linguistic connections with ancient Egypt. He states cathegorically, that many ethnic groups in Northern Nigeria have Igbo origins, and that the linguistic marker the Kwa/Ka element in such place are prominent in places such as as Kaduna, Kwara, Benue, etc.The traditional dances,cultural and secret soceities and masquerades are identifiers.

.

We all might not have heard about OBATALA. It is common in the Igbo and Yoruba forlklores and mytology. Yet they have no relationship! The work by Prof. Wande Ambimbola explores this link.In prominent display is the Yoruba Center In Havana where this effort to preserve and document factual history in in play. . “I saw among the Yoruba pantheon of gods at the center, the statue of a god named Obatala whose inscription or explanation read: Father of the Igbo nation, Master of all divinities, Creator of man in various forms, Gentle Lord of the Pure White”! Continuing, Acholonu said that “this was a great puzzle to her”; that the Father of the Igbo nation was revered among the Yoruba not just as a god, but that he was seen as the master and head of all known Yoruba divinities and as The Creator of Man. Acholonu confirmed in the treatise that the Yoruba Center was set up under the guidance and approval of Prof. Wande Ambimbola, the well known Yoruba authority on Ifa.” *CHI-UKWU/OLODUMARE/ELE: THE IGBO GOD WHO SANK ATLANTIS is the same.The City was owned by the god served by Eri..in Yoruba Obatala. In an old document by Dravidian Indians "Ramayana" written by one Valmiki states:Rama was a a king in Atlantis who retreated into the deep forest and built a city in the middle of the rain forest: He abdicated and withdrew from filial rivalry.Being averse to war and bloodshed he founded a city in the heart of the rain forest where annual harvests and festivals were held to honor the ancestors.We need to honor the various sources that have sought to keep the line of fact and truth. We need to help propagate the work which has facts and is indeed the truth. It is the history Africa needs. We have to promote the truth and propagate it. The men who bear the torch must be given the recognition they deserve.

........"According to Euba’s reading of Ifa, the Almighty Olodumare was the God who fought the great cosmic war between Good and Evil, a war which Ifa calls “the Great Igbo Battle”, as a result of which the word Igbo became an awe-inspiring word which strikes fear and trepidation whenever it is spoken. This God is the same entity whom Thoth claims in The Emerald Tablet was the Great God who sank Atlantis for their sins against humanity. Thoth was a servant of this God. And it was this God that commanded Thoth to leave Atlantis and go and take refuge in the land of Khem in order to escape being drowned by the Deluge. We must explain Khem is the land part of which today is known as Egypt. Ten step-pyramids found in Igbo land.​ Do you know that the colonialists found ten step-pyramids, each the size of a single storey building in Abaja, Nsude in Nsukka region of Igbo land, but made sure that they were not entered into any existing official records, and that they were subsequently destroyed and forgotten. The discovery of these step-pyramids adds to our pile of proofs that original Egypt was ancient Nigeria, part of which was known as ‘Median Biafra’ in ancient maps of the world, and Igbo Ukwu was its sacred capital. The ancient Igbo pyramids are located in Udi, Enugu, Nigeria but have long been forgotten and are probably in ruins A row of 10 Igbo iron-smelting pyramids at Nsude, Enugu State of Nigeria, Africa. Carbon dating information has been unattainable to date. Nsude Pyramids were ten sacred pyramid structures built by the Nri/Ndi Igbo people in Nsude and Agbaja. Each structure is a step pyramid of 5 circular. ...." It is indeed not possible that such overaching realities never featured in the brand of African history we hear and read.But such is the reality we live.We must however take responsibility for what we propagate and what we uphold.In the United States of America the memorial in the state of Georgia called Igbo Landing is of great significance.We had a group of captive africans of Igbo extraction that decided to take matters into their own hands and they did.The Igbos were taken to Cuba, Haiti to Jamaica and have kept and maintained their atittude till date where so on earth they are!

We read about the Holy Roman Empire that straddled the European space.It held the Prussians, the Austrians and the Habsburgs that ruled the "Holy Roman Empire". Many of the Habsburgs are of Austrian origins.It was in 1740 that Prussia strengthened by a fortified and consolidated force and an enlarged territory acquired by forceful annexation started to threaten Austria and question its hegemony.This was around when the Mayflower ship went out of England and Wales.It was in 1806 the "Holy Roman Empire" was ended. The idea and the prevailing question was: What is ideal, a large Germany that dominates the space or a Germany that is the peer? These have always been issues.And they will never go away. They are facts etched in the deep recesses of the human consciousness.The many things that happened between these entities and France and Napoleon and others in the European space are recent.These were all very recent. Like both Muslim and Christian incursion in Africa these are recent events. So are the two world wars.As recent as what is now playing out in Ukraine.It is now the theatre where the sad bloody saga of the past is being played out. Many who have no idea what these matters are and their origins tackle symptoms. People have tendencies.Europe will be a bed of the type of schemes we witness.It has such history. It is with great effort you avert such spills.You juxtapose these facts with a pacifist civilization like the one in Africa that had existed for thousands of years? You are not going to promote what is not yours.Not even if towers above you! Africa will either continue to be a victim of violence or discover a new the great heritage that gave the world the most enduring and consequential civilizations.The IGBO people are a catalyst to this goal.It is the reason for the way the characterization from some quaters.It purposely highlight them in very odd ways.

QUOTE OF THE DAY....QUOTE OUR CITIZENS . UPHOLDING THE OFFICE OF THE CITIZEN:.....:MATTERS ARISING AND EVENTS CALLING FOR OUR ATTENTION: QUOTE OF THE DAY::::

"Nigerians are the most rescued migrants"....European Coast Guards....That to me sums it all..Our youths killed at home by government agents and sponsored killers and drowning as they try to escape.

AND WE SAY AFRICA IS THE WORLD: Former head of State of Nigeria Himself a very young man Is seen greeting an unknown child who will become a top world leader! Gen Yakubu Gowon of nigeria greets Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

Who Will Solve These Problems Nigeria Faces? We are not able to reach the hearts of the political elites in nigeria.For nearly twenty five years we have drawn attention to the issue of an agreement to the living arrangement in the nigeria space. It is getting clearer the choice is to decide it by blood. Something the country had already endured. It seems the lesson was never learned.Nigeria is being governed using a constitution imposed by those who ceased power outside the provisions of law and order in a military coup.The prospect is daunting and worrying.Where did they find the moral right to such authority? The deficit of philosophical soundness,morality and equity exposed here is alarmingly palpable.

We salute the five governors who are doing something for the history books.They are standing up to a very repugnant display of inpunity.It is very good for a young democracy like the one in which they are playing.It is a seed being sown in good season.There are two ways to play politics: one way is as a spoiler. The spoiler achieves very quick and immediate result which quite often is destructive.Hence the name "spoiler"! The second method is as a statesman standing on a position based on principles.The five governors are holding to a fact which should and ought to be sacrosanct being a covenant of trusting equals. Someone is trying to impose a lordship which these men reject and rightfully so.History will be kind to them and the young people will see their action as a glimmer of hope in a soceity where the conscience is no longer in play.It is not suprising that the culprits are unyielding. Resistance to their inpunity is a very strange event in their orbit. We wish the G-FIVE GOVERNORS(G5-GS) more wind in their sail.We pray they are just beginning in their work for the soceity and their Maker who gave them the opportunity to shine really bright as the stars they are.We ask the governors to use their platform and voices for the millions of nigerian youths in internally displaced population camps.We urge them to speak for the rest who are not in the tertiary institutions due to industrial action by unpaid staff.In a competitive time such as this nigeria is caught napping still. Some persons had better act before it turns more tragic.They should use their voices to urge common sense and reason.These languishing citizens can't speak for themselves.Go G-five.We see the emerging five regional governments and economies that will incorporate the present 36 states and do the wonders we desire.But we must invoke the reality first. We have to hold the convocation when our initiative has worked for our people. G is for gold.The G-FIVE must aim to win the gold medal and nothing less!

We have every reason to be anxious and worried about the February election. The name calling and the accusation are at fever pitch.Any mistake will lead to many unkown situations. What else can we have? We have kidnappings, terrorism, murders.We know that we can't afford to have an unresolved situation.When the computer is forced to deal with such, it can misbehave including haniging and going out of action.WE know our situation.People are fadeup and tired.We do not know what will happen if the people who have taken hundreds of million of people for granted will get in the way again. Quite clearly the people have made a clear headed choice for a candidate with the temperament, capacity and the vision. The pair from the Labour Party is what the answer and the people are very certain they have the answer to their situation.It is the reason the other pairs are feeling panicked. The pair from Labour party will not descend to the name calling and the mudslinging the other parties have now resorted to. Is this also part of the structure? They call the candidate of Labour Pary a trader. They call him a Mr Stingy.We need answers about the many issues confronting the country.Mr Peter Obi and his partner have been studious in their approach.They have not condescended to name calling. And they have not ommitted answers to issues posed by the population.It is the test for leadership and we are satisfied we have found the leadership that will pioneer the new nigeria that will emerge from the deep social engineering going on in nigeria presently.There has been nothing like it. And we prayed it through and we asked of it from The Divine. We knew the population of the people will have an answer and they have shown the world their answer.We appeal to the world to help birth this choice with out a hitch.

Endorsement is celebrated because it is a recommendation given as an advertorial. It is a public declaration of approval of a product or a person. Someone says "I am glad to be associated with this person. I approve and will associate with same". Endorsements are very strong words of reommendation and commendation.They carry great gravitas. Artists and athletes become successful by the dint of their talent and effort.Marketers make them rich by offering them endorsements opportunities.We know how important endorsements are.No amount of tantrums will diminish that. The more distinguished the talent the more important the endorsement.When you think about living heroes in nigeria Chief Olusegun Obasonjo is perhaps one who qualifies for the title.He received the instruments of surrender in the civil war.In the wake of the battle for return to civil authority in nigeria he fought with the people out of uniform.He stood against Sani Abacha face to face.He was jailed for his effort.Pa Edwin Clerk is an example of endearing patriotism and public service.He has stood with the people who discuss a way forward for nigeria.He is a very well respected statesman.Pa Ayo Adebanjo is a man who commands respect as a statesman.He comes from an era of character and purpose.These are the kind of people you would like to recommend you.They all have endorsed Peter Obi of the Labor Party.What it means for the nigerian people is very remarkable.The alignment of the stars of the Orion will help rekindle the light of nationalism in the nigerian youths.It is very selfless for these men who have excelled in their own right to have time and energy to fight for the future of the nigerian state. The youths must look upon them with honor.They ought to be celebrated for it.It is not for those who did not receive their approval to act as though they do not have the right to approve of somebody of their own choosing.Why have these men who have been seeking the support of these distinguished statesmen now resort to abuse and insults? We thought they said they respect these elder statesmen? We thought they said they were seeking their support out of respect? So because they have not got the answer they sought they are going to resort to abuse and insults? It is a mark of the quality of character as we are watching! They say endorsement by these men does not matter? If it is so unimportant why all the noise? Why are these men and their attack dogs so upset? We thought this was like an audition and application for job. How could these men resort to this type of idea of pride and entltlement and expect the nigerian people to gloss over this very repugnant sense of prerogative? Do they consider themselves superior or above the process? If so why pretend to submit to it? In any case if they are offering just to serve why are they this touchy and personal? This behavior leaves much to be desired.For once their exploitation of poverty is about to fail.It is game they have come to trust. Now it is under very serious attack by tough warriors. They celebrate throwing hundreds of millions of people into poverty. They boast about how things remain the same. And they talk about their very slow increamental plans that would not even work at all. They convert lives and citizens to mere objects and expendables.To them it is statistics.It is empty statistics and nothing more to it.We encourage the rest to do the right thing.Speak out.By speaking out they will encourage the voiceless to find their own voices.It is how soceities are reconstructed from the bottom up again.The election offers a way out without bloodshed. Let us embrace it. Go for the gold nigerian patriots.You know what is at stake.Inspite of how daunting it appears you might win it.Can anyone imagine the alternative? If we do not change the situation in nigeria the outcome is clear.The emergence of the natural nation states will be the imperative. There is no other way to see it.Change must happen.If we neglect the change we must make Nature will foist one upon us that is necessary.This many people will not be in anguish forever.Let us make the election the bloodless revolution we desire.

The nigerian arrangement has been a tough bargain from the start.Nigeria was not created to work necessarily as everynone now anticipates.There were goals. And those goals were colonialistic.The people fought the colonialist all the way through.When the colonialist started to think about leaving he made plans.He planned an exit strategy.Nigeria could easily be a nation if that was the goal.But it was not the goal.At independence the various components consisting mainly the regional blocks and tribes had their representatives.Until this day these men are still honored as though they were alive.Dr. Michael Iheonukwuru Okpara was the choice of the people of eastern nigeria.Chief Obafemi Awolowo was the choice in western nigeria. And the Sardauna of Sokoto Alhaji Ahmadu Bello was the choice of the people of northern nigeria.These men guarded their territories like lions and are well loved and rightfully so.It is how nations are built.On the other hand look at nigeria the federation.The federal government of Alhaji Tafawa Balewa will not quit meddling with the government of Chief Awolowo in western nigeria.This restlessness caused a constitutional breach and a coup and with the coup came rogues and bandits. It has been downhill since then. One thoughtful person will build the other will wreck it and destroy everything.Nigeria assembled her assets for inventory when the economy stagnated. Many countries that turned their economies around used this method.The aim was to streamline the assets and make the productive ones more productive and restructure or sell the non-performing assets.The operators jumped on the entire nigerian assets: all the factories,industries established by the upcoming growing economy...all were sold.Industries built with billions of dollars were sold for pennies.In an effort to streamline assets a committee was set up called the National Council On Privatization.The operators of this council acted as if nigeria is a company going out of business.Patriotism will require delicate examination about what is useful to the country and what is productive and what is a drain.Instead everything was off loaded.Nigeria by this council auctioned 145 of its best assets. And got next to nothing for them.The stewards became rich and nigeria has been reeling.Nigeria was robbed blind. And the youths were denied a future.Companies that hired youths and took young people from the streets were all chopped on the auction block for cents and pennies.Delta Steel built at a cost of five billion dollars was sold for thirty million dollars.Aluminium Smelting corporation built at the cost of four billion dollars was sold for one hundred thirty million dollars.Eleme Petro-chemicals built at the cost of three billion dollars was sold at the cost of two hundred and fifteen million.I do not have the time and space to continue. But the picture is very clear what we are dealing with here.These kind of operation is what some people perform in nigeria.Every great effort will encounter these workers of damnation.It is the reason patriots and true african liberation fighters in nigeria want the regional governments to guard the peoples assets. The best guarded investments in western nigeria is still O'DUA investmens,in the north it it is Arewa.Eastern nigeria got beat up by a war! Now we have no time to humour bandits and looters anymore.Nigerians are suppose to tell some people the home truth.What gives anyone the gut to loot nigeria like Sanni Abacha did? It is merciless and without conscience.Today oil prices are on the roof but nigeria is making no money. The looters are piping the oil money into their private pockets.Borrowing s become a form of art and piling up debt for other generations a matter of little concern to those who must loot the whole space clean.Nigerians must wake up and make a choice.It is time.If the big country will not work allow the nations to build their own countries.Nigeria must not be a cover for looters and thieves.There are hundreds of millions of lives involved here!

We all can see the difference between the candidates of the Labour Party: Peter Obi and his running mate Dr Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed and others.We can notice they commands very compelling presence.They are both men who have worked very hard to elevate their character and profile rather than their possession. On the other hand the competition come in with big and funny names that minimize the enormity and issue on hand. The country they wish to lead has the highest number of people living in poverty. Most of the people are youths in their most productive years. All the agitations are not for nothing and you will not murder and massacre them to an answer. They too wish rosper like you. You and your family are eating gravy and chicken and eggs and you wish them to eat gravel. And they will confront you and agitate.They can't see a future.So if you know the way you point it to them and give them hope. It is what at issue. Not military command and rhetoric of military force. The country was led for decades by the military. There is nothing new there! The youths need leadership that is attentive.And they are focused since no place in the world wants them. They were just plunged into poverty by unattentive leadership.The Buhari administration is the last easy government nigeria will see in a long time.The coming days will have to be rigourous. Right now it is difficult for the next administration to determine an easy way to face the sum of their choices.We have No way the government will come in and play some mathematical abracadabra. The situation is dire.But some of the people who will not even take and answer questions are in line to lead.If a leader will not answer the question by the people what will he do to the challenge of leadership? If questions are stressful how about the challenges of reality? You guessed it. Treat it with crass levity.We see the gentlemen who would win the heart of the youths by their first act of governace which is return decency and common sense.We urge those who are praying to be co- laborers with God and bring the most compelling candidates to the front and choose them.It will be the change the soceity is yearning for.Nigeria had time for men of timber and calibre and time for their jokes.But right now there is very serious work to be done.For the sake of two hundred and fifteen million blacks it must not be a trifling situation.

THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE NEED TO RECLAIM THEIR SOVEREINTY AND MANDATE

We were not suprised at all by the impunity called an election.The charade was too much for even a stagnant nowhere going state like nigeria.It was pathetic to watch how the agents overturned the honest diligent effort of millions who wanted to see an outcome that refelected their collective aspirations.But it was not to be.The hegemonic force that has used mediocrity and insecurity once more prevailed. Again nigeria is an assigned contraption holding two hundred and fifteen million people most of whom are gasping for air.Nigeria an entity negotiated as a federation is controlled by forces that limit its progress on purpose.It has the central government. And it will attempt to control autonomous nations and govern them by colonial fiat. Nigeria is it is today is a colony of whoever manages to gain power and cease Aso Rock. It is not a federation. Nigeria does not have the collective understanding you have in federations. And it is dangerous.If the matter is unresolved the 1967 to 1970 conflict will be a child's play. It is true that the Igbo race hates conflicts because it detracts from progress.It is avoided by whatever method and means.Those that have forced conflict on the Igbo people since history have always regretted it.Nature sides with the natural peace makers.Who is in doubt that the Igbo people will be in a the present space race today if they were not taken down by the conflicts of the nineteen sixties. We are here talking about cows and grazing fields and land. Eastern nigeria already had Obudu Cattle Ranch. Now they foist their confussion on the Igbo people. But this is about progress. And Eastern nigeria was making real genuine progress.So they get accused and have all sorts of things foisted on them.All of it came from outside the Igbo people as a race.The conflict in the politics was between the central government and the western part of the country. The prime minister wanted to use the Yoruba to spite a Yoruba leader.You have the idea of a central government in a federation.It is a terrible contradiction. Chief Awolowo was leading a masterpiece in the western nigerian government.Why is it impossible to have that back? Eastern nigeria was adjudged the fastest growing economy in the world.Those were the reason for the attack on the people and their entity. If the Igbo people are not allowed to govern nigeria why are they not able to fight to govern themselves? It is the reason IPOB and NNamdi Kanu is a big enemy of the same people who hate every other Igbo man.Imagine inspite of all the ass licking done by the phoney Igbo political class they got nothing.They are not able to get even the most minimum of concessions.When Chief Abiola was murdered the whole space negotiated a truce and gave the yoruba the chance to govern. It is how you negotiate power. The soverieignty of the indegenous nations in the nigerian space will never be retuned to them by politicians. They will use the spoils for themselves and their families.It is time the people rise up and claim their sovereginty back. It will be taken. It will not be given.The colonial government was overtaken by the liberation movement.The same thing must happen now. If the political class prefer the carcass they call nigeria where thy are not accountable to anyone, it should be abandoned for them.The people must return to the regions and build lives. The must return to the regions and build civilizations.It is in the regions you will solve hunger, illitracy and poverty. So take back your mandate and build your people.It is the meaning of progress... ......

NIGERIA MUST UNDERSTAND THE CLEAR CHOICES IN FEBRUARY THE 25TH : WILL BE GENUINE LEDERSHIP OR SOVIET UNION TYPE DISINTERGRATION.

There is one segment of the nigerian soceity that has already given up on account of the shananigans of the present political elite.But they do not have for ever to toy with the carcass of the nigerian state as that are wont to do.Many want to move on at some point.And that point is here.If thisfails we are going back to our origins and making it what it could be! To be fore warned is to be fore armed!!!! We wish to remind the wheelers and Dealer in the nigerian enclave that they have reached the end of the road.All along they have acted as if the population of nigeria is just saw dust and not human beings.Governor El Rufai came to power and consolidated himself by using the people he now proposes to dispose.He used the stateless armed fulanis. He and his friends are always playing this dangerous game and the rest of the world is watching them.When you advocate a nationless population you are sowing anarchy.And he has now become known to stoke anarchy whenever he wishes.When Chief Olusegun Obasanjo sought people like him and Atiku he was seeking builders.But what he got are very ambitious fulanis with ethnic ambition.Nigeria needs better than that.Today the country is finally crippled.They have sold what they can sell. They have loaned and pledged what they can't as far as the eye can see and for generations to come. Nigeria is on her knees thanks to them.They are no shortages of cupious patriotic sentiments. But listen to them speak when they are upset! They have killed nigeria many times and would not allow those who wish to help.Nigeria is slowly dying.It has terror knocking on the door.It has massive number of restless youth bailing out of the country in what is called "Jakpa" like those escaping a death camp: Nigeria's elites have ruthelessly been self-centered and self-seeking.The programs they have pursued has been about themselves.Now the universe is about to prove to them that it has always been here.They recognize that are being dumped.All of them that sold out and who traded on the lives of citizens are up and under watchful eyes of the world.They are not going to wiggle out of trouble this time.The Die is cast.These men who have been stoking ethnic flames in the name of religion have ignited the entire northern nigeria.The Kano to Lagos goods train has brought nothing but northern spices. Especially peppers! There are millions of militant teenagers and armed to the teeth.It is what these elites have done.It is how they have opended the formerly orderly and well led northern nigeria.El Rufai and his group of elites have only sweet words. Only their own wards and blood need a future.The rest are expendable.WE wish to warn that the trees in in some communities are thousands of years old.These trees were the theatres and centers for the people.These communities span the entire southern nigeria.They will not be defeated by a confused band and homeless bandits.If nigeria will not work some people have a place to return to. If these men think they can be toying with the lives of these many people forever they better think again.They were given an opportunity to lead.We can see their very divisive narrow goal.They have served themselves.Now they must allow the people who are out to work to clean the mess they have made.They are not going to use armed bandits and anarchy to destroy the people who have been communities for ages.They have been trying.The people they are dealing with are more settled.

THE THIAROYE MASSACRE:GALLANT AFRICAN SOLDIERS WERE MASSACRED FOR PROTESTING AND DEMANDING EQAUL PAY AND A BETTER STANDARD OF LIVING

Sharp shooters,snipers and very brilliant and brave men were recruited from the areas of the west of africa to fight the Nazi.Over twenty thousands of these men were involved in the fight to liberate france the homeland from the Nazi.In 1944 when the tide started to turn in favor of the fighters the goal became who will be glorified.They were not suppose to be part of the men to be honored for liberating france. The plan was how to have an all white french army in the final bid to liberate france. All along these africans had bled and died for the country that claimed to have assimilated them. Now their faces were not needed in the march to victory.It was the real reason these men lost their lives.It was an attempt to put paid and an end to the voices of the men who had fought very hard and shed their blood and died in the bid to rid france of a bitter enemy.But they were not aware their lives never mattered to the country they had been fighting to protect.These men had demanded for equal pay with their white peers.They had fought side by side.The demand was not cast upon stone.It was a request.The soldiers also asked for better conditions of service and back pay.Immediately the revisionists in the french army and the racists saw the opening they needed.They claimed these men were sponsored by the Nazi. They claimed the protest was a guise to infiltrate the french army.These men were returned to Thiaroye Senegal unceremonously.Many of them are from other countries of west africa.The goal was now how to really trash these men even liquidate them. On DEC 1 1944 the camp of these men was attacked with armoured tanks and heavy artilary and infantry suddenly. At the end of it nearly five hundred of them lay dead. Instead of being part of the honour they were massacred. Africa here yet again are thy children! Today, those who want to lead must appreciate the nature of the relationship between the african and the other people who require his resources up and including his life quite often. Those who do not understand these events and the terrain must refraim from attempting to lead africa now and today! Our people must be alert enough to determine those who know and understand the real issues!

THEY SAY THAT ONLY PDP AND APC HAVE THE STRUCTURE TO WIN NIGERIAN ELECTIONS

We are hearing the corrupt and crooked insisting nothing can change.We tell the youths it is not late.They can win it all.How can they loose? If the change will not occur through the ballot box it will occur through the streets.A nation or nations must emerge.It is one or the other! The false prophets who are predicting that only the two old political parties have the structure to win election are missing a point.Nigerians do not vote for parties.It false analysis.Some people think too highly of themselves.They say we contested and lost because the people only vote for parties! Since when was that? Nigerians vote for Ahmadu Bello,they vote for Joseph Tarka.They vote for Aminu Kano.They vote for Balrabe Musa. We tell the youths make friends with these men.You can't loose.The nigerian vote for Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe.They vote for Chief Obafemi Awolowo.It is how they vote.We told the nigerian youth please court the elders who have compassion for you.It is all you need.Those who worship parties will learn something new about nigeria.We need to change something and it will change.You can't have a place like nigeria stay the same even if it has two hundred plus million suicidals.But they are not suicidals.They are survivors not suicidals.And trust me nigerians are about as tough as you can find.They are bidding their time.The attack on Peter Obi and his running mate are becoming personal and vicious.Does somebody think they pose a real danger? It seems so at least.You can cut the papability with a knife.The Igbo is involved. And there are still some with the illussion they can run a state like it is a childrens' game.You do not like the Igbo.Demolish their shops in Lagos. When the air in your lungs are tight look for some Igbo to hurt.It happens like that in history until the people will begin to defend themselves and avenge those who hurt them with missing one.Lagos will not be lagos without the Igbo contribution.Most important iconic structures in Lagos are owned by the Igbo.Demolish all of them and let us build unity like that! Very laughable jerks! Can't you see how we all relish the abundance and profound peace? Why can't you feel it? It is all to deny the achievements and accomplishments of our wonderful leaders! What is there not to see? Quite honestly nigeria must act right away or the ethnic citizens who have been complaning about the amorphous perilous rogue state called nigeria will revert to where they were before the amalgamation.Our different people today can make new charters and covenants.They are that sophisticated and they had relationships before the advent of external imperialism.Free people engage in that. The only problem are those who want to "rule" the rest by force of arms! We have all the wars precipitated by their unholy desire.Somebody is enabling these fully armed men who are riding around in motorcycles killing productive meaningful residents and indegenes.One of these days the military and the police will lose the confidence of the people their respect and support and the game will be on.The people will kill and be killed and also persecuted if they wish to settle down anywhere near a free people! A fulani will not be an Igbo. So who wants to plant a fulani village in the midst of the Igbos? Or is anyone dreaming that all the Igbos will go on exile? It is a very bad calculation.The game in the free empty arid land of the sahara desert is not the same in the densely populated and peopled southern nigeria.If these insist on this sorry game it will lead to a disappointing loss for those who are trying hard to foist the impossibility.Let us show the world quality leadership is possible in africa.We can have leadership that can engage with the rest of the world.It is how we can be heard.Not by mumbling and groveling and begging everyone including those who mean to pick our pockets! We have quality that is growing in strength and number and that will include these men: President Paul Kagame, President Yoweri Museveni, President Nana Akufo-Addo,President Hakainde Hichilema, President William Ruto now in place of now former Preseident Uhuru Kenyata.Among them is also Preseident Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa. I will put the president of nigeria among them were it not for what the men around him are able to get away with.They have made his sense of loyalty to partners a very sore injury for him.I do not say he is a saint.However he has the right frame of mind to make choices that are defendable.So here nigeria you want to have an election before the ethnicities agree on how to relate and how the rest and everyone else will relate. A return to the regions and creating an overdue Middle-Belt Region to bring the regions to five gives nigeria the rebirth the people are yearning for.You might ask me how it can be done.Elections in democracies are not just for voting for candidates. It is also for enacting policies! INEC and the Senate and House of assembly would have resolved most of the issues bedeviling soceity through such initiatives.New policies are placed in the ballots and the people will vote for or against as a way for making new things happen.These initiatives are proposed by congress and voted by the people. It is how you end old policies that will entrap soceity.They are called ballot initiatives....BALLOT INITIATIVES.Let us use ideas we have learnt to improve life for our people.It is evil and demonic to buy gun and give someone as empowerment.It is terrible these men claim to be religious...Let us give a man the mandate to help us with a bloodless revolution.If the military had not been ousted they would have created more states. They enact more decrees than our law makers are able to enact laws.They are there obssessed and absorbed by themselves. They have projects they control and every thing they do is about just them.We like to give them some help to salvage even transform the system.We suggest to the Obi and Datti campaign to think over our proposal. Peter Obi campaign will promise that and guarantee it the nigerian people should vote for him. It will be the revolution that will spill no blood that will make the world respect the african mind.But it will take some more tough work still.But it can be done.It is our wish for the people and our prayer with them. You do not want unity in a country with one missing component? It is a big joke!!!

NIGERIANS CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS PRESENT HOUSE AND THE LAST?

The Senate and the House was lead each by the best the elected men and women find among them. And that is the way they do it in other places because the process must be thorough.Senator Olubukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara proved nigeria can play politics at its best.They made african and patriots very proud.It is what happens when a man or woman bring soundness to the position.At the end of the term the baggage struck back.We have leaders who call the president their father.You have a father in a political cage? The president is your father in a political arena.Your voters sent you to the house to look for a father? What are you? You do not know your own father? No wonder they have run nigeria into more borrowing and more poverty.The insecurity and suffering it brings has something to do with the quality of their leadership. More nigerians are in poverty today thanks to their evil leadership catering to only themselves!

THE NOISE OF MASSACRE BY THE FULANI AND THE DANGER IT PORTENDS FOR NIGERIA AND AFRICA!!

The fulani are suppose to be the other ethnic group in the north other than the hausa.Among the many other ethnic groups happens to be the one that seeks to control the means to power.The hausa has been pushed to the corner and have reluctantly accepted the place of the fulani as the head. What that had done is embolden the fulani to attempt this gambit with everyone else.It must be made clear that whereas the fulani claims defeat and the conquest of the hausa ethnic group before the arrival of the British, the arrival of the new partners made the "conquest" more real.It must be made clear that without the British the hausa fulani relationship today will be at a different place.The reaction of the different parts of northern nigeria indicates to what the possibilities would have been.The fulani has been eager to further his gain in northern nigeria.It does seem that this goal has collided with the reality of the present. The idea of a militant fulani who is armed to the teeth and comes from anywhere to nigeria to conquer will fall far short.The approach earlier was much more subtle.Where will this fulani find a docile people who want to be overran and lorded over? Mallan Umar Altini was the mayor of Enugu during the defunct regional government. Umar Altini is full blooded fulani. He was a well respected politician in Igboland and a member of the NCNC.It is easy to see why the approach like the present wind of killing and massacre and its noise will not prosper the fulani in nigeria. The nigerian army and police will understand that indegenous and ethnics appreciate defence like any army if not more. If they will not defend the people of estern nigeria the people will defend themselves.Where were they when these armed bandits entered the space? They were on the watch? So why are they blaming those who are out protect their own lives? How can the nigerian army justify the killing of a group of youths whose goal is to pretect a their community? Is it impossible for the nigerian military to assess risks and goals? In what way are these youths danger to nigerian security to warrant this intensity and kinetics? How are they more comfortable with terrorists and bandits who kill, rape tax and levy, kidnap nigerians for ransome? Politics is not always really clean cuts. Why is agitation more a problem to the nigerian armed forces than terror? Agitation is part of politics but terror is not! What are they fighting really? It does seem they have a different goal than the stated ones and the people are not fools! We will find out who the nigerian army really supports: the community or the invaders from without.Nigeria will not work as a two tier state where one is higher than the other.The present controversy will expose everything!

THE FALSE PARADIGM MUST GIVE WAY IN NIGERIA

We all know what happened in 1966 January the 15 was a revolution which was ill-hatched.The young men in military uniform mostly under forty years of age were fed up with events in the country.They figured they had the means to effect change and they did.Then came the hard part: ordering the change they desired.They were confused and could not chart the way forward.General Aguiyi Ironsi was not a coup maker.He did not have any idea what to do with the enormous burden he inherited.Neither did his co-riders.It just felt good to be coasting in the Lagos breeze.Something they all thoroughly enjoyed.Little did they know it had a stiff cost.Since that day nigeria has listened to one false promise after another.In fact what the regions were doing at the time was prime time management! They had the answers.Only the center was unstable and distabilizing even today.Buhari the candidate promised true federalism,restructuring and a soceity free from terror and insecurity.He promised economic prosperity and jobs.Today at the eve of his administration the country is federal only in name.The country is nose deep in debt and poverty is wrecking havoc. Dealing with insecurity which was the most prominent promise of his campaign is the best managed excuse today.Nigeria will change or die.It is impossible to remain in comma for this long.It is time the people make up their minds to pursue purpose or let go.The regions consist people who have been surviving for milleniums.The Igbo the Yoruba and the Hausa have places in the world for surviving as peoples.They existed in the nigerian space for centuries.Now they must agree to work together and seek a union of common goals or each go their seperate way.Nigeria is presently an example of how a sum can be less than the components.If Yorubas are populating nigeria it will not be in debt.It will not be the poorest country in the world.If hausas populating nigeria it will not be in debt.Nigeria populated by people from the Middle-belt will not be in perenial debt.If the Igbo people populated the entire nigeria it will be a prosperous entity.So why is the nigeria encompassing these people on its knees?It is the big question that the indegenous nigerians must ask themselves. We have people who are not asking what they should do and what they can do to help. They wish to lead even if they are not prepared and ill-equipped! Nigeria has defied the laws of mathematics and Nature.You add three to three and get two as result! We watch how England and Wales and Scotland and Ireland have managed to run the world and their communities for scores of years.We can emulate something.It is that easy! Being different is not a problem. It is managing the difference.It calls for intellect, maturity, experience and determination.I strongly belive the youths will prevail in nigeria. They are determined and they have the time and energy which are the most important resources on earth! In 1966 major Nzeogwu was a wide eyed youth who was tired of the noise and rambuctious politics of the era.He struck and changed the direction.Unfortunately no lessons have been learned.It is still the same food and belly politics.It is time to grow up and seek to make a contribution in the world.It is time to seek to lift the people around us.It is time to seek to make our environment better and pursue purpose and general good.It is time for men and women with hearts and souls to rise up and be counted. When Chief M.K.O Abiola threw his hat in the ring among the alligators and crocodiles like Sanni Abacha he was ready. And he won.Today we must ride that train that took Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe through to independence.The train that took MKO through to a free and fair election that saw him elected by the nigeria people is here again.Now we have a plan and goal and we shall take the train to that place Africa and her children are pointing.If nigeria will not heal the components that have found brotherhood and friendship rather than suspicion will forge along! Come with us!


WHY MUST SOUTHERN NIGERIA EXHAUST HER RESOURCES IN A SCHEME OF CORRUPTION AND WASTE?

We have the ports in lagos and the maritime resources in Lagos being virtually controlled by those who have their own resources fully tucked away.You wish to waste the resources belonging to someone else as though there is no tomorrow.Imagine the Universities are on strike.They do not have resources to function minimally to standard.The nigerian government has spent over two billion dollars constructing roads, railway and building infrastructure in Niger Republic.We understand the president says he has relatives in Niger Republic but he will not use Value Added Tax (VAT), Crude oil from Eleme and Ikorodu to pay for the comfort of his relatives in Niger republic.What type of injustice is this? What type of banana or plantain republic is nigeria? And it has too large houses loaded with elected men and women! Loaded you mean with those who call the president "our father". You wonder how they have such intimate relations in the house.They sit there and their voters are striped of resources and they do nothing.Their voters are killed and they offer sham minutes of silence. It were best the people use their resources as they deem suitable.It belongs to them.! We know the entity referred to as nigeria has no goals, but nobody must allow his own resources to be used to fund the madness. The crude oil can remain in the ground like the crude in the fields that have been discovered in northern nigeria.Inspite of the glaring injustice nigerians endure there is a piling on. The nigerian governement borrowed a million dollars to give to the Afghanistan regime.The purchase of luxury vehicles for officials of Niger Republic when our youths are out of school due to lack of funds assures the country no future at all.

WHERE ARE THE MANIFESTO OF THE POLITICAL PARTIES?

We are not able to see the magic anyone can do about nigeria before returning it to constitutional framework as a country to begin with.Right now you have entities in which the stakeholders can lay no claim.The state governments are mini oligarchies.If in doubt watch Imo state! But they are not autonomous and they are not atomic or organic.They are therefore not systems and can't self-sustain? What will a politician do? If we give the nigerian politician the benefit of the doubt but let them propose solutions.So far they are just playing the usual game that has resulted in the present catastrophy! The manifesto is a quick knowledge based succint summary outlining solution to the political issue of the moment.Where is any in the ungoing event?

We show those who lead the world these images.We show those who lead Africa these images.Africa continues to bleed. They just want to have a space where they can survive.The Ones who fell! African youths and the existential issue, survival!

Watch ....Again Africans Brutalized, Murdered as they attempt an exit.

FOR NIGERIA THE END BECKONS. THIS TIME IT MIGHT BE THE REAL ONE!

When suddenly twelve states in northern nigeria were declared sharia states a nation was born. Quite clearly that was the statement.The country called nigeria which at this time is only a paper name was further dismembered.Nigeria which is an economic tent made by a colonial interest seem to care very little.They talk about unity. You are not going to have a unit or system of unliked components.The connection has always been an assumption and an imposition.It aims to appease a certain other force. This force had always been there and it tends to diverge and scatter or even explode.It is the force the colonial power panders to.The rest in the arrangement are forced passengers.For some reason they do not wish to be free.Every alert and alarm that would prompt a reaction will lull them to an even deeper slumber!

It appears and it seem the final knell is here! The people of Eastern Region whose resources is the reason for all the pranks and brinkmanship must respond. If the resources were theirs what kind of unity would have existed in so called nigeria today? How much of the resources from this massive expanse is in play in the development of the country? Quite clearly the people from Southern Nigeria have been the fools in this arrangement. We have a country where you become the enemy of the state if you criticize impunity.We are witnesses how the government tried to criminalize the peaceful agitation by citizens who have a right to freedom of association.And they are using the army to subvert the very constitution it swears to defend.And we have been in this mess since 1966. And the longer it stays as it it the deadlier it will become.They will finally hear the clear ring and make it a clarion call or their future is worse than the past.

You were all witnesses when we begged the governors in the South East to start vigilante group. We urged them to be a little bold and courageous and reach out to the brothers and people of the so called South-south and Middle-belt .Why do we not have North-north? People must protect their own interests regardless! Two governors only understood what we were saying and they is not from the South East.They are the governors of Rivers state and Benue.We wish them well.They are unlike the ones who want now to impress us by killing our youths! Giving them uniforms and guns to become objects of target practice.It is inhuman and evil.These governors will not act with just a little courage.You watched their feckless news conferences! Now they are lunching security groups everyday endangering the lives of our young whom they care nothing whatsoever about! All they think about is themselves and their careers. They finish two terms governors and enter eternity terms in the Senate where they do ahem nothing! The idea of trying so hard to become action governor in the last couple of months is pure mischief making.If you arm people in order to feel safe you just look at Northern nigeria from where you wish to borrow a leaf.ESN is a result of well thought out Igbo way of life.It will outlive the greedy self centered men that have taken advantage of the trust we reposed on them.But whatever betide the Igbo race will survive and prosper inspite of their low esteem and self hate!

NIGERIA AND THE FOREIGN HANDS THAT AIDED HER INGRATITUDE TO ATTACK THE EASTERN REGION AND JUSTIFY THE IGBO MASSACRE CALLED CIVIL WAR!

If there are africans who truely understand the economy of scale it is the IGBO people.You can't preach that to them! If they are not interested in the present nigeria there is a good reason why! If the hate visited on the then Eastern Nigeria was meant for only the IGBO why were the first people who were massacred non-igbos? The first casuality in Lagos was on Carter Bridge. The victim was from the Effik tribe. But you only have excuses being adduced to justify the violence that had been predetermined.The haters had no intent to discriminate in in their hate.They had excuses taught them by the colonizers.Now as the new masters they had to learn the lie.Crude oil was discovered in Eastern nigeria. Eastern Region the fastest growing region. You had no constitutional way to stop the breakout. Already there was violence against the people of the region for their prosperityNow you add new wealth....Now that is trouble. .So you use violence! In a million years this truth will stare the people who pretend in the eye!!! They are wondering why the eastern Security Network is non-negotiable? They are asking why IPOB is strong like dye.The anger is legitimnate.You will not find a village in Igboland that does not have a de facto government.The one foisted on them is very often the source of retrogression.Be it a local or foreign colonialism the Igbo is opposed to working without result. The IGBO knows the meaning of profit and is therefore averse to exploitation.The government constituted by culture is godly and egalitarian.Nigeria fought a war against the Eastern Nigeria and tried very much to divide a portion of Africa that knew what it was doing! Eastern Nigeria was hot and making real progress! The people are the same and the culture clearly says that! The economic indicies were comparable with those in the western world at the time.The agents of this harm knew little or nothing about what was at stake.They were jealous of the progress the people were making.On top of that Crude Oil was discovered in Eastern Nigeria.But for God's sake what was that? Did the IGBO need crude oil? Answer is not really. But they were blessed by God with it! Sir Louis Ojukwu was the founding president of Nigerian Stock Exchange.A former tyre salesman for John Holt he was the founding chairman of Nigerian Shipping line.Ojukwu Stores competed with foreign stores when nigerians were still in deep slumber. So did his Ojukwu Textiles.So did his Ojukwu Transport Ltd! You know where he went to school? For his elementary school in Asaba.For his high school in Calabar in Hope Waddel Institute.Eastern Region was a real home for our people.Nature tried to orchestrate what was already working.Sir Louis, nigeria owes you a deep heartfelt appology. As for your son who was tagged a "rebel"? For a son of such priviledge to choose to serve his motherland. Willing to pay the supreme price was overlooked! The youths have that one well covered! They oppose a country with no basis and no constitution. And they are right...Here comes the present madness that will not end.Until those who are clamouring understand that the idea of a country is not having resources to embezzle, the problem remains. Until they understand the idea of service, work and good fate there will be no basis for any unity.Some people have learnt the hard way after loosing four million of their own.Lip service is just not enough! Making noise about unity while contributing ahem "zero" input is not enough.What if they make noise about unity and sponsor terrorists and bandits to intimidate others? How can have unity without a common goal? What does a typical yoruba want from the Sharia system emplace in a total of twelve states in northern nigerai? What does any Igbo want with such a reality? What kind of unity do the people who emplace such reality want? Are they looking to force unity on the others? It is how you end up with wars and disintegration.

INDEGENOUS GROUPS IN NIGERIA MUST RECLAIM THEIR RIGHTS TO SELF-DETERMINATION.

Nigeria will not be healed until the nation states reconsitute themselves as before. There were viable communities and common-wealth based on filial unions which were viciously destroyed to have access to oil in Ogoniland. The Igbo had to be the monster and the problem. We know how those who ruined nigeria got their idea and the motive. It was the interest of a select few who placed their greed above the lives of millions.It cost millions of lives and still doing at the present time.We wish to warn the so-called nigerian politician that there is a difference between one man and another.We are not all the same and as a group our choices differ.Nature approves that by having ethnicities.It is not a bad thing. Some people accept themselves and approve it but will never attempt to understand others.In nigeria there is a reason why some places are economically lagging the others.If you are successful and everyone around you is a beggar you create a poor environment.Feudalism approves the later. It helps control.The poverty is used as a weapon of control.It is the problem in nigeria.Many people who find themselves around power in nigeria were planted by feudalistic hands and cant't stand the egalitarian approach that sustains democracy. On the other hand the IGBO people live and propagate egalitarianism and true democracy.It is the actual reason for the hatred against the IGBO people. The people will make whereever they are light up and shine. They do it holding each others hand.We want to say that the nigeria that had the hausa in control of his space and the yoruba and igbo in control of theirs is the configuaration of the soceity that can be together since we want one africa.This present configuaration of the fulani taking all the oil in ogoniland and enriching himself alone will cause more trouble than the one by MR. Nnamdi Kanu. Those who accept and approve of self-determination understand Mr Nnamdi Kanu.The feudal overlord and prospect can't..Feudalism will never approve self-determination anymore than a slave master will approve emancipation declaration.Mr Nnamdi Kanu is hated by the northerners because of their way of life.Poverty angers them and they are armed to the teeth and they approve of the very basis of the life. They hate being made poor by the system but they love the system.Kidnapping and banditory are elements of feudal control.It is the way for the upward mobile proapect.No other way! Since unfortunately nigeria now has twelve states that are controlled by sharia law it is a new reality. The sharia law is said to be feudal in that it accepts class of people in a setting. The equality egalitarianism demands is not acceptable and is ridiculed as a waste of time and unattainable.It is the reason democratic governments are not a fit in these places where the law is in place.It can become clear why Gen Sani Abacha killed Ken Saro Wiwa and if you let this government have its way Mr. Nnamdi Kanu will loose his life.It must be opposed to the hilt.Nobody has such power in a democracy.It is the reality the people claiming to be enforcing the law must understand.But the nigeria people must recognize the difficult position the muslims in nigeria are having in the practice of democracy. It is not their natural fit.It is the reason we are saying that the present arrangement will remain a nightmare for nigerians.Why would a government put so much into poverty? Oil prices are on top of the roof but nigeria an oil producing country is making no money. The individual powerful oligarchs are making the money.The indegenous people must reclaim their liberty to the extent they control their own resources. The drums were rolled out recently about oil being found in the northern nigeria.The fact is when will it be part of the income poutline in the economy? Such a reality will never come.Such realty will never materialize. The oil wells will be allocated to powerful individuals and nothing will be left for the petty-cash book.But actually the present news of oil in the north is to make the present administration look good. We know the president is also the oil minister and all the hanky panky is going on.So do not wait for the oil revenue from northerern oil wells.Nigerians should and must ask for those fighting for self determination to be released by the government.Tell the governmenition agitation is political not criminal.It is a difference in thinking and is not purnishable by use of the legal system.What the people must try to do is balance the feudalistic worldview of their culture and religion with the world view of the others who practice egalitarinism and democracy. It is the source of the present conflict.

NIGERIANS HAVE A LAST CHANCE TO VOTE TO REMAIN ONE

Where will the nigerian people find the time to seek to correct the mistake of the last four years? In these four years nigeria has been emersed in debt for more than one It is strange that some people seek office with no goals in mind.We are witnesses to how our people respond to such a reality? It is the reason for all the demand for self government.Something that should be very clear and obvious is why some people are being killed.need no soothsayer to proclaim that nigeria will never function as it is presently structured. Nigeria presently has a center steeped in corruption. It is very clear and without any doubt.And the country will not heal with this corupt structure in place. In the end we will anticipate a magic wand and be disappointed. The regional governments is the antidote.And the dismantling of the overly powerful and corrupt center must be part of the goal as the struggle to rebuild nigeria gains steam. A very good government at the center will help but the corrupt nature will weaken its efforts.Nigerians must be thinking of their future.Self determination is not a bad word.It is the future of nigeria.Without it nigeria will still be a colony today. As long as the shadow of bondage and oppression hangs over the people self determination must be and remain in focus.It is how the people determine their own future!

WHERE IS THE SENSE OF PRIORITY HERE?

Recently a prominent northern nigeria elite of Fulani extraction said he was speaking for the people of northern nigeria.He said there was a time when northern nigeria would do anything to keep the unity of nigeria.He said that time is in the past.I hope others are listening.So who is hell bent on on forcing nigeria eastern region of mainly christains and others to be part of a muslim country now called nigeria? Nigeria belongs to the organization of Islamic countries.In a place when the sensitivities of others is a consideration no one will bring such an issue up.You will not make the country islamic when there are those who will never accept such a situation.Today the people who are keeping the entity to feed them fat will not allow a referendum to determine who wants to be in nigeria.They do not want the people to determine how they wish to relate.Instead they are foisting unity of blood and bloodshed on everybody.We shall see how far they can get with it!

Unbelievable! Youths in their prime from Africa Wasted! Why?

We find the use of religious platitudes to try to becloud the injustice and immorality rather curious.Why would their religion not lead to a better soceity? Why must it lead to death and strife and bloodshed? What is the goal here? Every of the various faith have those who just use them for a facade.Quite clearly these people are not godly people from their actions.They are not even religious.Religious people worry about their reputation.These ones are ready to kill their way out of every situation.It is opportunism at play.While the conserveative religious enclaves are trying very hard to modernize and expand opportunities we see a different move.The men who are just in it for themselves are going for the old ways and rule where might is right.for the sake of equity these people continue to lead.

How can the nigerian economy grow jobs for the people when the vision of the nigerian space is grabbing, sharing limited resources? Who is going to create new opportunities and nurse ideas and vision? Who will incubate modernity and prosperity? How can such a space have a future? The strife will only get worse.We predicted that if the regional arrangements are not restored nigeria will go straight back into debt.It is no rocket science.At a time there was a clean slate we advocated moving quickly to emplace a self sustaining mechanism.We see other people solve problems in such ways.But not nigeria.It is now clear to those who do not anticipate matters.The country is back neck deep in debt and it can only get worse.The population keeps rise with youth restiveness turning morbid.Still the ruling class hold courts in splendour.

The few who have no idea how to help anyone but themselves hold courts in perpetual splendour.They lack understanding of the potentials of the power of the human mind. Our youths are dying in the oceans trying to escape their leadership.Those who survive enter foreign lands to peer into a very empty even bad future.In nigeria the focus on an election they claim will be held in 2023 is the most heart wrenching of these things.The country is bleeding to the death and we have such priority.We have our fellow citizens living as refugees in their own country which claims to be at peace.All they do is find a name for their plight (internally displaced persons). They are "persons" not citizens.The issues that precipitate these conflicts are ignored totally.

Everyday that passes several hunreds are killed in avoidable conflicts. Already nigeria has sacrificed more then three million lives of people of eastern nigerian descent in this experiment. Yet more lives are being wasted daily. How necessary is this reality? Are we to accept this as a new normal? Between 1954 to 1960 when self government was established in the nigerian polity the affected areas witnessed real growth.It is very easy to prove this fact.We have begged and appealed to the powerful to return the country to where our people are able to prosper again. It ought to be the priority.Nigeria's burden of inequity will cause even more problems if not consciously redressed.The slogan for the political parties of northern and western nigeria before and after independence called for indegenous governments which owned all resources in the regions.It is how nigeria was negotiated. But only until oil was found in eastern nigeria.It led to genocide and war.And the problem and lingering injustice is now angering a new generation.If in addition to the rebellion of the youths in northern nigeria by the way of Boko Haram nigeria allows inequity to cause this threatening fissure in the south, God help us all.Our people are crying, many are dying but who is listening? The game is to keep the wheel spinning for those who reap.

CRY CHANGE AND CAUSE IT

Where are all the men?

Who stood against the red line

Marked by flowing blood

Leaning and pushing against it to their hurt

Where are the ones with gut and heart?

Where have they all gone?

Those with courage who opposed

Who were maligned bullied incacerated

In many instances we recall murdered

Men who resisted evil standing

Against turbulent winds

Who fell in honor fighting

Prying open doors shut by hands

Bearing weapons and heart without pity

Have order to shoot and kill

Any that dare to stand sill

To question the insanity

And depravity that had overtaken a people

Destroying millions and millions of souls

By minds contaminated and foul

Spirits poluted and depraved

That reek wrath of innocent blood

Confounded by the uncertainty

Their very actions have crafted

Now they grope and stumble

In the least of challenges

Anarchy confussion their fable

Steeped in corruption and graft

They stumble on, with neither empathy

Nor compassion just corrupt

Who by same minds drafted

To perpetuate a regime of torment

Upon the ones they claim to love

Such love! Indeed such love

We ask the wounded youth to shove

Out of the way and out

Of the space for time has come

Finally when for the ransome

Shall no longer be the innocent

But the strong and righteous put to rout

A class full of grime greese and rut

For the change destined by fate

LEADING IN THE DEARTH OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE

Nigeria was cobbled together by a series of intrigues not unlike what is the story of human existence.The one who cobbles something must have an idea and motive.We know the story well.Soceities are dynamic and various actors attempt to impact events according to their own needs and perception.We are aware of the usual turbulence when it is done wrong.In the case of nigeria the error will not yield to correction and the manipulators have no instinct for observation.Just action! Watch what those who use some observation do! The British Empire conducted an election in 1922 in the so called southern protectorate where it loaded a legislative house with colonial representatives and only gave three seats to the elected, in a forty six member house.It was just an attempt to gauge the heart beat of the people.

Lagos with projected population of about hundred thousand had four thousand only registered to vote in this election.Lagos was becoming a very prosperous commercial entity.You want to put your arm around the whole event so it does not veer off in the wrong direction.Our friends who have destroyed Northern nigeria with relentless actions are not paying attention here! They are imbibing ideas and tastes but are doing little of anything else! The Empire also took aim at Calabar, another sea port! Calabar was the next center.It had a little above four hundred voters.It sound odd. But we see how God begins very difficult tasks! I wish to make the point that Eastern Nigeria is not going to be divided by people without understanding.The Colonial leaders tried their best! We have the same people who have shared in every area of life.In the history are enduring common values.They could not deny this truth.To their credit they solved it as their problem.

They tell you the people have nothing in common.So why do they invest so much creating division? How do you fight something that does not exist? Why has it been so difficult? You see Calabar was given a single seat.You imagine the reaction of the rest of Eastern Nigeria? Silence and stoic resistance was their reaction.The people are aware the new order will be fought and resisted or endured and accepted.It was not a position to be negotiated.And they never forgot this fact. It was their position up until independence. We see the people now cavoting as nigerians and causing only trouble adding absolutely no value. How in the world is such a relationship sustainable? If they do not climb down their high horses the ruins of the stable is what they will have in their hands very soon! As usual they have no sense of the decay they are standing upon! Every clash the colonialist had in Eastern nigeria or the Southern eastern protectorate was organized resistance. And their response was reasoned.Today we have people with no other idea but violence.If you make anyone aware and convinced you bring nothing but death to them why would they endure you? Why would they not confront you with same vehemence?

Up until the Aba women riot none of the local agents had a clue of the undercurrent they were up against.They were always as shocked as their masters.It explains the reality the colonialist chose other confidants. It has been the history.If we need a better soceity we will create it ourselves.And the people of eastern nigeria are well in a position to create a modern soceity. They had all but succeeded. It was the actual reason for the nigerian massacre and so called civil war. The people who were used had no clue what was at stake.The colonialist will not give you your dream nation.The colonialist was not here to do such a job.He had his own mandate.We remember the Ekumeku movement and the Royal Niger Company...harbinger to the nigerian state. We recall the Zikist Movement.Our people are not foolish.Eastern nigeria has a people united by their common origin and history.You look at the culture, the food, dressing and assembly and you can't dispute this fact. The colonialist are not ignorant of this fact. It is their challenge.Even if they pretended not to see it they found ways around these challenges.

We have a patch of a continent that is the most peaceful. All you want to do is distabilize and unravel it. All for the sake of having control over their resources.It is not how a country ought to operate.You negotiate.These so called leaders have shredded northern nigeria. Now they want to do the same thing in the south.Eastern nigeria had attained almost the same social and economic indicies as most places in the Europe in 1967.It was alarming to those who would not accept the african deserved a voice.How much of these facts did the "nigerian leaders" at the time know? In fact they are very happy to be taken or accepted as lackeys.Some of the people who wanted to lead will do anything they are told to do without question! It is why they will divide the regions into tiny states ignoring the natural alignments.They partition an entity no reasonable person will interfer with unless they are looking for anarchy.You can see their many efforts to destroy the people.You can see their effort to show us good neighborliness.They loot and burn and kill their neighbours. We are now suppose to immitate this retrogressive tendencies.One person wants to own the entire soceity.We have a cofiguration of very rich people and then very poor subjects.And they clain it is the will of God! It is not the idea. Kings are not absolutes.God ordains order.They are custodians of traditions and culture of a people. They know they rule by their goodwill.These people are absolutes and obey no rules and they respect neither the courts nor the laws.They just use them.

We have no shortage of those who set their sight on the ports and the custom charges and duties, on oil and gas on every resource the land boasts of. It is the stuff people fight for. Hello? The last thing on their minds are the people.The people of eastern nigeria knew that and had an answer. They resisted.Eastern nigeria has always had a resistance movement.Eastern Security Network is not an IPOB creation.The IPOB leader was used of nature as a facilitator. It is the revival and resuscitation of the resistance of the people of Eastern nigeria to impunity and foreign dominion.On their best day they always will win! Nigerian independence is testament to this truth.

We must react when things like this happen.After all we are all involved in the same "human family?"

Watch ....Again Africans Brutalized, Murdered as they attempt an exit.

THE COURT IS UNABLE TO UPHOLD ITS OWN JUDGEMENT

Some of us who have tried without success to remind the politicians that a structure is important for politics have accepted they own the stage! It is not our "turn" yet.Nothing more to say to that.When the nigeria people are ready again they will summon the same courage that saw the military rethink their musical chair game with the nigerian people.If any one remembers one of the many coup makers. This one was a young officer by the name of "Gideon". Let us cast our minds back to April 22 1990 Nigeria:Let us pay some attention to this argument.Gideon Orkah, "We wish to emphasize that this is not just another coup but a well-conceived,­­ planned and executed revolution for the marginalized, oppressed and enslaved peoples of the Middle Belt and the south with a view to freeing ourselves and children yet unborn from eternal slavery and colonisation by a clique of this country.Our history is replete with numerous and uncontrollable instances of callous and insensitive dominatory repressive intrigues by those who think it is their birthright to dominate till eternity the political and economic privileges of this great country to the exclusion of the people of the Middle Belt and the south". I say ha! ha! We hear the same argument.

This is not Nnamdi Kanu the IPOB leader.It is not Yoruba nation agitators ranting.Here was a senior officer of the armed forces of nigeria. It was a prophecy of the present explosion in the soceity.You tell me it is in the past and it was a failed coup.Problems are what leadership is suppose to resolve. If you eleiminate the people what about the facts? The issues raised by this coup and those who plotted it have not been addressed. Today we have unfettered insecurity and kidnapping, massacres and the politician tuck in their heads like their compatriots before them and keep the game going.We are not able to talk about corruption. Accoriding to the lawyers the 1999 constitution offers the politician blancket immunity. Nnamdi Kanu became enemy of nigeria for stating the obvious. He opined that country operating on the indicies in the nigerian soceity has lost its standing as a country.He merely expressed a political position in a supposed democracy.If it is untrue you challenge the position with facts.In fact they are talking about self-determination a position that is universally sound. If not for the position why is nigeria not still a colony? But instead the people who understand only violence pounced on him and the youths who support him.

The blood of these youths have not ceased to flow since the last five years! They have been killed for any flimsy reason adduced by those who are busy stealing everything in sight. And we have some leaders in the space who would not think as they ought to. The Igbo has invested in the nigerian project more then all the others put together. If they take your crude oil and make Ijaw( Izon) a different race from the Igbo? How about make Opobo and Okirika are different from the Igbo just for the sake of crude oil. Their homesteads are still visible in the main land.The story of their migration is ever present with us.Yes the Igbo and Eastern nigeria has been milked and ravaged to build nigeria! And it is not an exergeration. What else are you going to sacrifice? Your very life? They are leaders in a democracy that would not entertain the idea of self-determination.

Such is the grave contradiction trapping nearly two hundred million people.There will be an answer.There must be an answer!If a yoruba man will beg for self determination in nigeria. He can revert to being Yoruba. He will beg no one for that. If an Igbo will beg for self determination in nigeria he can revert to being Igbo.As Igbo or Yoruba binding agreements for frienship and good neighborliness can then be reached with laughter and handshake. The idea of a relationship of death and bloodshed is neausating and very foreign in this part of the world! Very soon it will be resisted very seriously.It is easy to say that those who are fighting ESN or Amotekun will confront the resistance of the people of these areas and it can be very difficult.Do not talk about so called civil war.The igbo and eastern nigeria was ensnared by those desperate for crude oil.The lesson has been learned.

The people of eastern nigeria who are still in doubt of what will befall nigeria must look to northern nigeria.If they think the the slaughter going on will end by some magic wand thy ought to think again.What we have is that some politicians swallowed the bait of the religious plutocrats.having ensnared themselves they are looking to enlarge the sphere to mitigate the severeness of the heat they have created.In our part of the world we wish them luck.Igboland indeed Eastern Nigeria has always had a wall of defence.The colonial government can attest to that.The igbo and eastern nigeria do not have a king.God is the King.The people have leaders and paramount leaders.The people assess them and hold them accountable and will remove them when they fail too badly.It is what makes the part of nigeria very different.We have a nation of people who are able to hold their own.In the course of on-going events the people are proving themselves.

The government of nigeria has accused the IPOB leader of jumping bell. How do you take a man to court and then invade his home with armoured tanks? The world knows the truth. Thanks to young gallant men who were armed with cell phones against armoured tanks.You ask: why are they so afraid of someone who is just stating facts that all can see? He is not alone.Recently they said they arrested him "where" and brought him to court. After he appeard in this court with the same clothing many times the judge ruled he must be allowed to change his clothing.The world watches as the nigerian system makes its case!

The same people who would not approach his apprehension using legal methods will not abide by the ruling of the court.He continues to be brought to the same court before the same judge who ruled in the same clothing! The judge was quoted as saying he must not appear in the court again with the clothing! Over and over this tavesty has been repeated and demonstrated.The lawyers go off after each session in their legal jingoism.The press conference never address this matter. But they explain everything that has not yet happened but this insult stares them in their faces.It diminishes the system and all within it.It is nigeria and we know that!

You can see the parade or charade to have elections? Lekki toll gates and the massacre there was a statement of total control. In this scheme some are taken captive due to their own ambition.The communual goal of survival and general good takes the back seat. Once the person who wishes to exploit those you represent have you compromised and in this desperation they have their man or woman. The apple will not fall far from the tree.The game plan of those who will fake election to maintain their dominance is always going to be to use their old trick. They will chose the person they know they can use.If they use the idea of Northern nigeria the answer can't be Southwest, South-south and South-East.

If you want to counter North it has to be South.It is where you wait for them and dislodge them and end the cycle. If that will not happen it means each group must go their seperate way.You will not allow someone with the intention to hurt you create shadows and darkness around you. You will be destroyed and that "without remedy". You want to claim someone is subjugating you. And you disapprove. If that is the case then you must fight every manifestation of the evil you are against.If a court is unable to enforce at least its own orders where is the sense of what it is about? I just wanted to leave it there!

..

...WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN HOW KASHIM SHETIMA ENTERED THE POLITICAL ARENA......

I was listening to a political broacast from nigeria when they showed the vice presidential candidate of the APC and Tinubus right hand man talking down on Peter Obi and calling his performance as governor mediocre.The problem is that this man has nothing to show for the same term but a destroyed Northern nigeria. He is responsible for weaponizing the agitation of the youths in the area to be part of the political conversation. He is the one that made the conversation go violent. With targeted mindless and brutal assassinations to pure terror on hire he is linked to all.This man rise to power and his stay points and fingers many powerful people in nigeria as sympathisers if not abaters of terror.They have been protecting their man! But we the people and victims have not forgotten that. We know people like him thrive on the forgetfulness of the african people. He is out of luck! Many of young patriotic nigerians will never forgive him for giving guns to youths when all they wanted was to be part of a dialogue for leadership. He wanted to have a decisive outcome.He had no patience to work for it. He had no idea how to achieve the outcome.He chose the easy route. VIOLENCE! But he destroyed Northern nigeria and the entire space with the cankerworm he created. Now he wants to be a patriot and nationalist? What is he thinking? Peter Obi left landmarks of leadership and roadmaps that have led to prosperity and progress. Shettima left a roadmap for disruption and death, and bloodspilling! We like to say the foundations of the Boko Haram movement was crystalized under his watch! He has done that much harm to a soceity anow wishes to rule over the same?.Without the IGBO people in nigeria he might have. But they are the african elite watchmen. He is out of luck!! He can hold sway in AREWA where they have institutionalized mahem. They see the YORUBALAND AS A HARVEST LAND. The Middlebelt has fought them to a standstill even without arms! He can seat like a pot and rubbish great efforts! We know he is incapable of any.Only in nigeria can he engage an audience and talk about Peter Obi the way he did. He wants to claim religion.But nothing shows he is religious.Even religion demands some positive and tangible result. He has none to show. Talk is cheap and it is easy to spread confussion and and lack of knowledge. We want him to know we are not complacent.He is under the watch of the African patriots.We are mourning the harm they have done to us.Least we can now do is defend ourselves!!

....WEST AFRICA IS NOW TRAILING.EAST AFRICA.THANKS TO MILITARY COUPS AND RELIGIOUS RASCALS AND SOCIAL VANDALS

Loook back to the Mau-Mau struggle when Zik and his brothers sents lawyers to East Africa to defend the freedeom fighters.They had established a political and idealogical bridge-head.Dr Azikiwe had influenced Nkrumah counselling him to prepare himself for a a knowledge based struggle.Few coups and governments of personalities and look where nigeria is! Men with shadowy past and no proven leadership skills and transparacy.Opaque characters with raw ambition. Imagine a man like Gen.Sani Abacha after looting billions of dollars had the nerve to kill a human right activist Ken Saro-Wiwa. He made a show of hanging the man.Still nigerians endured him.All the man did was protest the glaring injustice wasting his own homeland in a so called republic.Today monumental corruption including spending billions without budget appropriation is the practice and nigerians are never provoked! When Jomo Kenyatta and his partners were busy with constitutional governmennt nigeria was busy with coups.Julius Nyerere was not a comet.He was an abiding african star with a draw and followership.His work must endure and outlive upstarts! The foundation laid by Dr Azikiwe as leader for ideology and reason was toppled by force of arms and guns.Nigeria is still sick with armed groups with very little knowledge and education and a lot of guns and bullets and confussion.And they are such a nuissance in the space.And you are not able to build a civilization with such a nuissance.If the deliberate choice is not made to stop this group they will destroy the entire africa.They have a large and strategic starting location in nigeria.Nigeria has the population of two hundred million plus and a lot of natural resources!You must allow reason to prevail here or the entire africa is toast.Right now as we speak Boko Haram and bandits have nigerians under tariff and heavy taxation. Areas in Bornu and Adamawa are under the colonization of the bandits and terrorrists. It is no secret. In Zamfara a well known bandit was turbaned by the emir. How does the military navigate such local matters if not left for locals to deal with when they can.In some places normal rules do not apply.All we see is brute force when it is hardly needed. When the nigerian army fights local vigilante and seurity networks like ESN is it just to protect a political stooge? What is their plan for those massacred by bandits? What can they do? Does it wish them the fate of these nigerians who are now left at the mercy of terrorists? Where is the guarantee that they are able to defend nigerians under these circumstances?. Yet some misinformeded and misguided politicians especially one that has no shame invite soldiers to kill the youngmen who are defending their communities.It is a clear sign they are hired stooges of other interests especially this one and the people must keep that in mind. In case they get fade up they must take such matters into their own hands to be free.True liberty comes from God. It has never been given to anyone. It is taken and assumed. Moreover it is not a coincidence that the nigerian government does not obey the rulings of the courts.Injustice is at the base of all they do.And we must remember what is said about when injustice is the law."When injustice is the law resistance is a duty".Yes they will put up a fight to defend their source of sustenance but nigerian and indegenous people must organize themselves and plan to defend themselves.The men in authority in nigeria opened the border and invited the fulani in from everywhere in the world. They forget the yoruba can do the same and the Igbo can also do the same. When that happens you will have no citizenship and no country.It is the nature of all their actions.It defeats purpose. They imposed sharia law in a large chunk of the country and they want a nation out of the rest? The other chunk are non-muslims.Is that how you create unity? What kind of calculation is that? It reeks of corruption and deceiit.We must first defend ourselves and our resources. And we warn our people especially those residing outside nigeria to make sure to keep these entities properly maintained or they are slaves within nigeria.Amotekun and ESN and the likes are very necessary.Any interest group can do whatever it likes.You can't have a country built from the top. The people build their own nations.The people who are fighting for self-determination are the reasonable ones.You can't build peace upon violence and blood.You must have a space dependent upon order and fair-play.Nigerians must return to where the reality of equity and justice and is the rule.Some want power.But they know nothing about service.They want to sit on two hundred vehicle convoy.They want a batallion of security. But they do not serve the people in any way.They want the people to look up to them.We must understand this was the structure the freedom fighters fought to gain independence.If we have a new type it must also be fought.No matter how difficult it seems. Every idea to colonize the space must be disrupted and defeated.It is the real ultimate goal! .

...NIGERIA THE FEDERATION WITH NO FEDERATING UNIITS: WHO ARE THE STAKEHOLDERS OF THE PRESENT ENTITY KNOWN AS NIGERIA? ..

Nigeria was negotiated between the stakeholders and the colonialists in Lancaster House.The nigeria was an entity that belonged to three regional blocks as stakeholders.The ethnicities are Igbo, Yoruba and hausa.We have a minority group that always like to piggyback the hausa tribe. They are called the fulani.Today they have taken over the place of the hausa as the majority tribe and runs the lives of the hausa in northern nigeria. Using that as a springboard they are attempting the rout of the entire country of over two hundred million people.We know the hausa was used by the colonialist in conquering the so called protectorates.Unfortunately the hausa is a victim as a tribe of people.And the fulanis is used to make their large population docile and silent. The fulani has ridden this colonial sponsorship to a point it has become an african problem. Today they would sabotage the continental dream of liberty and prosperity for tokens from the colonialists. We know why the military has been ceased by the fulani. We all understand they cant control the igbo or yoruba or hausa without the military.It is the same reason why they mass up ethnic militia in the cloak of religion.This game was played in other african countries but backfired to great detriment to the actors.In nigeria for nearly sixty years they have pulled this stunt while the other people are snoozing.Suddenly they wake up to demand Yoruba nation and Arewa and Biafra. The igbo people had seen this problem and been the victim. It cost them four million lives.In other to control the oil dicovered in eastern nigeria war was declared upon them when they were defenceless.Today in nigeria blood is flowing non-stop. The colonialist is now very ashamed to be linked with the evil.If religion was the issue why is the hausa in trouble in northern nigeria? Why are they being slaughtered? They are muslims too.But fulanis are imported to surplant then here in nigeria.The nigerian federation was based on the igbo, the yoruba and the hausa.The three ethnicities have all other groups forming unions around these based on filial bond. The fulani poisons this bond.They picket the bond in eastern nigeria. We have the APC and its magic governor Imo state. The fulani will never respect the right of the other citizens to organise in their own right. They chose Akintola to spite chief Awolowo the leader chosen by the yoruba tribe.They picket the bond in western nigeria.They are mouthing unity but we can see the level of instability they are creating in the polity. This was what killed the nigeria negotiated in Lancaster House.The picketing of yorubaland by the prime minister was stoutly resisted.The hubris is nigeria cankerworm.Those who want a country must fight for it and free it first.Rebuilding nigeria will begin from rebuilding the units and respecting the entities.Every tribe will not be a country but each stands for something and must be respected as such.Nigeria is dead. There is a carcass that is still feeding the vultures.Some people are just feeding off the carceass and the are satisfied to continue as long as they can get away with the mischief.

...... NIGERIA HAS BEEN MADE A LAUGHING STOCK BY THE PEOPLE IN GOVERNMENT

The nigerian government was wrong criminalizing the agitation for self determination.But they would never do a soul searching. It is not the type of thing people like them do. They went with armoured tanks and guns and bullets to the home of a man with a case in court.They killed nearly one hundred people there. All that with a case pending in court! We recall that was an action by this government that claim to be operating a democracy. Now they would like the world to watch their revolt against the judgement of the courts.And they are in a season of electioneering!! We watch as the arm of government is making a mess of the whole soceity once again.Why is it hard for these people to accept they do not have the right to run the lives of two hundredd million people.Nobody gave them such a right! We urge them to respect themselves before it is too late.We hope they are watching Tehran and the Iranians. Nigeria will explode in the hands of these people if they are not very careful.They have built railways in Niger Republic,they have built and constructed roads, bought fancy vehicles and built refineries.Just look at poor Nigeria the colony of NIger!! Those traped in the soceity have endured every provocation. They have watched their resources wasted and stolen.Now they are loosing it. If the courts are not obeyed we have no soceity.If the court are not obeyed we have a bedlan and a madhouse. The courts have asked you to release Mr. Nnamdi Kanu immediately.If you pretend to be government and not a terror entity, then release him now!

...THE DEHUMANIZATION OF CITIZENS WHO ARE NOT SO CALLED INDEGENES OR NON APC SUPPORTERS IN LAGOS MUST END IMMEDIATELY.

It has been reported that some people are being dehumanized and their businesses destroyed because they dare to support a party other than APC. Of course that will be the non yoruba speaking citizens and non muslims.We like to warn those who use terror that they are playing with fire this time.If that is why they chose their candidates as they did others are not napping. Violence they must recognize is not their birthright. Just like they would think of it the other would think to retaliate. We know it is how they have destroyed northern nigeria. Now it is the turn of YORUBALAND.They planted a governor in Imo state and have been attempting to use him to opend the space.But they chose a very servile candidate as governor who is not necessarily smart. He is spending the whole time as governor in Aso Rock Abuja.Now the IGBO will respond to anyone in nigeria in kind. We all know government has gone to the tail wagging ones.If they think they will play the game and have other people suffer it like before they are mistaken. The people of Eastern Nigeria have been directed to report every issue of abuse and dehumanization to designated places. The response will be chosen in line with the action and its goal.Before APC turns Lagos into South-West front of Boko Haram those in authority must be reasonable and think in like and line with reality.If it is time to kill the moribund entity the Boko Haram controllers might get some help from fade up liberators and real africans and nationalists.!

SELF-DETERMINATION IS POLITICS:OBEY THE COURT ORDER AND RELEASE MR. NNAMDI KANU

The agitation for self-determination is a lot of noise to the people in power.The political elite is the new colonialist.When the coloniaalist came here and foisted dominion over the people, their desire for their liberty and freedom became a sin.No ordinary yoruba man will misunderstand the agitation for a yoruba nation.The reality that the nation truely already exists.A nation of Igbo people exists and so does the nation of the hausa people.The colonialist understood these facts.As one in need of authority the colonialist treated these facts as normal everyday reality.Why does the nigerian elite lack the same understanding? Why does the demand for the sovereignty of the people whose authority is subsumed a suprise to the nigeria political elite and their enforcers? Mr. Nnamdi Kanu is a vilain to the person who wishes to wipe away the understanding that there is sovereignty highjacked by those who are wasting resources of millions whiles they languish in lack and abject poverty.How do you assign oil blocks to people when the owners of the land live in abject lack? What kind of callous gamble is that? In some cultures you are suppose to accept that you are entitled to only the goodthings your social class endows you.The elite using whatever method he find tries to maintain the hold.The negotiation is called politics.Some play it with understanding others fight it rather than play it. It is why Nnamdi Kanu almost got killed in his fathers compound.It is the reason he is treated like a common criminal. The truth is he will stand face to face with anyone else if he can match their forces of coercion.It is for the same reason the many harpless youths are armed to the teeth kidnapping and abducting other citizens.The so called nigerian goverment will be a theory in so far as the ethnic entities are stripped of the power to negotiate the right of the citizen.What good is citizenship without authority and rights? But that is what nigeria now confers and bestows to citizens since the military coup of January 1966.There is a country in which some individuals hold the power and authority while the citizens are now toys.How can you run a country without the law? Even the judgements of the very courts are ignored by the so called government.It is the definition of anarchy and facism.We appeal to the government to release Mr. Nnamdi Kanu. If anything should happen to him nigeria has ensured that there is a dispute and not a negotiation and that the nature is neccessarily violent.The appeal of well meaning people for the release of Mr. Nnamdi Kanu is to have dialogue and maintain it. But some il-informed actors push their native views in a conferderacy.If their religion makes them entitled to another persons property have they asked the person what he thinks about it? We have here a source of needless friction.We are unable to see a pathway to very many meaningful things that are possibilities in the face of this needless conflict. The sooner the relationship is properly sorted out and rules ascertained the better for everyone.In a way it is what those who seek a referendum are saying. They are making an important point.They do not deserve to be targeted for elimination by ignorant men with native ideas as method.A sitdown and some clarification is needed at this point. Relationships require at least understanding before seeking any furthering when trust is needed.It is the truth that keeps staring all the actors in the face in this unfolding drama.Some of us have appealed for decades for the needed dialogue to no avail.We hurry to the table and the food fight begins all over again.

YOU NEED A CAR THAT MOVES, THEN YOU NEED A "GOOD" DRIVER

What is needed in the nigerian situation is a structure that will allow the various nations in the country to co-exist harmonously.Today there is no such structure. Nigeria is existing by pure gamble.Quite often we berate the British colonialist for interfering with our lives.But the fact is the interference has been a matter and subject of serious controversy.The British were once colonized by France.It was colonized by Rome.England colonized India and even tried colonizing the newly founded United States.We can see that these issues are best resolved by reason.We want to solve our own problem.What we mean is solve the problem that presents.An example is the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union. It was not something that the people wanted to keep talking about. It needed an answer quickly and leadership asked them to make their choice in a referendum.Nigeria has been attempting to have first republic, second republic and third republic and so on.Each time a new constitution is made and the national anthem was changed at a point.The old anthem was beautifully worded and captured the anticipation of those who labored to have a country where they have the right to self government.But we changed it to one we claimed is more patriotic. Oh well then!

It is not pessimism to remind the nigerian people that after eight years of the first democratic government after the coup harvest era it seemed nigeria had been put back on the right track.There was no foreign debt burden.The economy had been returned to a sound footing. The GDP had posted increasing gains yearly for more than seven years.But it was handed back to the same people who had ruined it before. And down it went again.Are you hearing them talking about privatizing NNPC? How in the world will anyone suggest such to the nigerian people? It is like telling them we are about to pocket the last asset! Look what happened with the privatization of NITEL? Communications has ceased to be an asset the nigeria can count on in the quest for economic growth.We are not able to find responsible managers so we hand national assets to individuals. We have overnight billionaires who prosper on the transactions that created jobs for a community of citizens! We are being told there are no responsible nigerians that can help manage the resourses of the commomwealth.We know there are but those will not be given the responsibility. It is a very sad commentary for those who want to build a country.

And they want an indivisible entity? At whose expense? What kind of union is that? Look at all the former parastatals that earned income for the nigeria state. Look what they did to NEPA! It used to be a reliable source of employment and revenue.Inept and corrupt management has destroyed these entities.It is an idea that will cause trouble.Do not tell me about the Central Bank and Customs! In France in the fifteenth century the people took matters in their hands against those they considered oppressors.It was very ugly.Nigeria needs the regional governments to mitigate the present system that enthrones waste and greed from the center.As we speak states are overwhelmed by insecurity. If safety and right to life is the reason for states to exist we have many irrelevant entities.We are not even able to make these issues look or sound nice.They are very clear and glaring failures.In many states we have parallel authorities that derive from terror.How is the best politician going to deal with these structural issues? It is too much to expect.The best leader you will elect now will hand over to perhaps a mediocre and even a flop.Then what?

Today we have a situation of violent oppression where the strong takes all.It is not how a country is suppose to work.The armed resistance in nigeria today resulting in the violent massacres and kidnaps are not events that should suprise anyone. Those who are now armed have sensed no compassion from the people running the soceity.It was expected to happen.Nigeria abandoned the constitution at independence with a segment declaring the country their inheritance.It is such a tall and even misguided line of thought.How can you inherit people who have existed perhaps longer than your own ethnicity? It was a very low road and poor approach in a new relationship. It has been such an abysmal failure. The mischief of taking the rest for granted was to begin to rear its ugly head early.We had the interferences in the government in Western region by the center.The constitution was clear about where the regions will collaborate with the center.But the boundaries were ignored and anarchy was enthroned by design.The constitution had no problem.The men who were suppose to lead abandoned reason.

If your car has bad tires and the engine misfires and has no traction, you have very clear issues that must be resolved.You will fix these problems.You will not go looking for the best driver in town.It will be a misfit of a solution. The right solution will be to get the engine issue resolved. Find the tires and fix the problems. When all that is done a good driver ensures that all the solutions come together to give the expected result.What we see is the reluctance to face the criminal ceasure of the resources of the people. A reality created in the space by a force which seem to confuse the people by its transformability.Each time it pretends to care only to disppoint in the end. It is situations like this that caused the great revolutions we read and study around the world. People are the same and thrive and suffer depending on choices made by those who lead. In the history of our world the people were made slaves, burden bearerers, peasants, servants and everything that marked them as worthless.They took it until they could no longer! Nigeria is almost at such a point today.

RETURN FROM THE SOUND OF COMPLETE SILENCE

We were silenced by the powerful of the material world. Our operations is from the Spiritual.Our enemies know nothing about that.God will use anyone to fulfil His goal.We do not have fear for men. We honor men and we fear God and only Him. Today the rave about Peter Obi will not escape my attention. Never have nigerian youths fought so hard. The Zikist movement is the rave to which this attempting to rival. We must therefore take notice if we care.It is among people I love.It among people who know we love them.If this rave will not be empty we must anchor it.The political system has a way. It is trodded and walked by men. Seek those men. Seek after those men and bring them in. Please cultivate their friendship. Work for it. I know it is hard. I do not wish to trivialize such effort. We wanted to be part of this work physically. But we are realistic and understand life's many vissicitudes. God will work with anyone who fears Him.Let me make my point from both Scripture and the and history.After the conquest of Jerusalem in 586 BC God was in search of how to rebuild His people.He found a man called Nehemiah son of Azbuk.He found a Persian king by the name of Artaxerxes. The job was accomplished resoundingly well.Again God found a man in 1535 to rebuild the ruins of Jerusalem.At this time Jerusalenm was under conquest by the Ottoman Empire.God stirred up a man Sultan Suleiman who ordered the ruins of Jerusalem to be rebuilt.Along with the city walls the restoration work took fourty eight months! Arithmetic is not the goal here. It is to imagine that such a task took four years.In perspective it is nothing short of a miracle. But we know it was Divine intervention. So it was a miracle!!

THE ELECTION HAS COME AS A SAD JOKE AND A FARCE LIKE WE HAD WARNED

Nigeria has a captive population.The world has scattered this population and dispersed it on purpose. The population collectively called Nigeria has the people capable of constituting a nation that will be among the top nations of the world.This population is in the place with the wrong crowd and a mixed multitude. Soon as they are freed they are very capable of building the newest industrialized country of the world.We are talking about the reluctance to make an end to something that has to end.Nigeria must be renegotiated or allowed to end. We see no need to continue wandering around when we know the way.We had an election controlled by an organ centralized in Abuja chosen by Abuja to control other nations of indegenous and sovereign peoples.What kind of federation is that? Nigeria the federation died to give rise to nigeria the corporate central entity hijacking resources, ceasing land and ports and states.How can you have an "Independent National Election Commission" that is appointed by a partisan? How does it become independent? Like nigeria is a centralized federation paying states from one single joint account? How federal is that? It is time to move on. The call for is return to the founding structure where the nations submitted their sovereignty to build a limited soverieign federation.Violent people have hijacked the country and wish to emplace a regime of brigandage, greed,corruption and violence.They want a country worse than what the youths are fighting to leave behind.In nigeria the people of Eastern nigeria have done this before.They lost four million souls. It is a very expensive price to pay. Yet they are not free to live in a soceity that can guarantee them their lives.The world wants us to try and we have done everything we can to avoid violence and bloodshed.We have tried.It must not be the thing we are always served! Now we have a situation where we accept to be governed by the very people who are killing and kidnapping our kit and kin.The Igbo people have suffered enough. The people of Eastern nigeria are able to build a peaceful prosperous soceity for themselves.Why can't they build one with those who will elect to do so? Why remain in a death trap where nothing positive can occur? Where else on earth are you going to have the choices like there was in the February 25th Presidential Election? Where else on earth will there be a confussion about what the choice must be for progress to happen? We said it before.Election is what you do when you have established conditions for peace.Nigeria has a religious and ethnic war still raging.The attempts to cover the truth are not able to stand.Let us allow the truth to come out and deal with it once and for all before it blows up in a full conflict once again...

If there is anyone who needs ministering today this is historical and factual! (Isaiah 44:28. Moving along We know we are the "Repairers of the broken wall", "Restorers of the streets.."(Isaiah 58:12.We know our own place and time. And it is here! God picks from where ever He wishes! We must not forget the idea of sovereignty actually resides with GOD.The unity of the people of Southern Nigeria is an idea whose time is here.The Middle-belt was always interested in this relationship. We see the place for Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State in this movement. We also see a place for the able governor of the Rivers State.It is time for the political event that has been brewing and fermenting to be finally served.It will not be about the AK47 totting disgruntled men who were used and deceived by their own.We must ignore the conmen who have enlarged their estates by vanity accumulating so much wealth for themselves.Does the muslim religion approve such corruption? Let me ask again how do they use religion to justify such corruption? Peter Obi must understand Nigeria is broken and the basis does not exist.In 1966 Johnson Aguiyi Ironsi and his friends toyed with the idea of throwing out the constitution.They were told if they did they would have no country to "rule".

So they "suspended" the constitution instead.At what point and who decided to throw out the article and memorandum that founded nigeria, replacing stakeholders with fakes and hooded hoolums? Who did and did they take notoriety of recreating a country? Must we now seek them for the ruin they have made of the space? It is not normal to have a country with no working instiution! Every instituion in nigeria has failed.Today they are tinkering with the army..recruiting "repentant Boko Haram". Recruiting founders of Boko Haram. Is the nigeria army about to be the first to rehabilitate such men? How did they vouch? The present crop politicians from Northern nigeria know Boko Haram and have nurtured them.History is replete with such diabolic amorphous relationships.We take the support of Afenifere for Peter Obi as symbolic.We know winning nigeria Presidency takes more than ethnic loyalty.Afenifere never "supported" Chief Olusegun Aremu Obasonjo as a presidential candidate. However the support for Peter Obi is a very significant event that must create the needed brotherhood. Gov. Nyesom Nwike must be cultivated and made the liason for this effort. His energy is agreeable with the push by the youths. Governor Nyesom Nwike will look any nigerian in the eye.The youths need such courage as a fulcrum for what is ahead.If we remember the political days of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe he had fearless men.One of them he called "my brother"..Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh. NCNC was the most powerful agregation of political minded men ever put together.They challenged a world power and the best and won. Chief Okotie-Eboh was a major component of that engine.With him as the holder of NCNC piggy-bank they were able to prosecute all their many objectives. Even after wars it turns again to the issues of politics.

Some of us have a view of the nigerian situation which assures answer without bloodshed. In view of such a fact we want to ask our people to give Peter Obi all the support he needs. But nigeria is fighting clear colonialism not just waste. We agree with the arguement on waste.After all this country wasted four million lives just because oil was discovered around them. It is sobering to reflect. Mr Peter Obi talks about waste in nigerian politics.It is very true. However to find the underlying reason for such rampant waste in the midst of so much poverty and suffering the structure must be interrogated and if need be have it redone.Quite clearly we are watching the killings and the stealing by even the Chief Accountant of the federation! Nigerian military that is seasoned and experienced has been weakened by nepotic and religious factors.And we are dealing with the very fragile portion of the body politics, the underbelly of the soceity.Such must affects security of the environment. And when there is insecurity looters abound in the their numbers! Ownership here is important. Clearly the people of Western nigerian identified with the progress in Western nigeria under Chief Awolowo.It was a matter of pride but it was tangible. The same for Northern nigeria.In Eastern nigeria it was a task.The people knew the rewards. If nigeria will not do the right thing it is already broken into pieces! If one takes a wrong turn in an intersection it requires returning to the same intersection if there is no alternate route.The versatile driver might know an alternative route.We must not allow this to be like Lekki Toll Gate massacre.This effort must afford the youths the help they have demanded and required of a righteous and merciful GOD.

But first we expect that it yield visible fruit and seed. It must be able to propagate its own self. It must yield fellowship needed to build the entire space.For us there is now contiguos faith and brotherhood.The religion of the people toples foreign religions any day. Igbos have a religion. It honors unique deity of God Almighty. I know same of the Yoruba religion.If we are needled by anyone we have a safe tent! This puzzle piece will necessarily force all others. I call it the imperative piece.It is why some people are spoiling for a fight.They see no other means to maintain their one sided bare faced cheat and underhand called unity. Nigeria is a federation that shares money from one account at the center. Somebody is getting a lion share who contributes nothing. It is the reason force and violence becomes needful for those who are now spoiling as invaders.One minute they talk unity the next they hood up and kill a few unfortunate persons! The leadership from our people who are fronting religion in nigeria has exploited those who trusted them.Rather than enable and empower them they are pushing these clueless men off a cliff. It is not what you call leadership.It is heartless cold evil.We need reason. And we will employ reason. So Peter Obi and his men must do the due diligence. Reach all the men God will point to be reached.They could be of any faith.Nothing short of a revolution will cure nigeria. If it fails everyone goes home! In Siri Lanka there were no guns.The military was there. They are citizens first before anything else.It is how you solve problems that seem intractable. Nigeria will heal of be broken.We recall Psalm 127:1 "unless the LORD builds the house...". The blood letting will not be for ever.As they say a word is enough for the wise.

WHEN VANITY OVERTAKES WISDOM

We are concerned for the person of former President of Nigeria Dr. Ebele Goodluck Jonathan.We have tried to ignore the rumours making rounds that he is being wooed to join the APC. Some of us would like to believe that a man whose first instinct was to have a free and fair election as president in a place like nigeria is a wise man.It is hard to imagine that a person who could have easily spurned corruption to remain in office will now allow himself to be sucked into it.He will be participant in the unprincipled rampant idea of cross-carpeting.On its own this paints a politician as unprincipled even corrupt.We plead with him to remember what he has done for his name and posterity by his brave, godly and patriotic decision.He is actually in a position of envy and many wish to be in such a place in life.Unlike many other leaders from this part of the world his action was full of class and principle.He must not allow some to turn him to a dog that goes back to its own vomit! Where are the guarantees for his safety in the tinder box Abuja has become? He knows nigeria has moved notches in religious intolerance since he was in power.The militants can spin a suprise attack on any location in Abuja.

We all know it is true.You will repel them. But there will be victims! If he is thinking four years the proponent might be thinking way less than that. In any case where is he going to find a genuine friend among such personalities? What will be the level of their grudge against him? It is an ideas that betrays a person and paints them as very selfish. It is a very bad idea.It is not an fact lost to the proponents. It is said that all is fair in battle.It is not something hard to imagine he might join and be denied.The move would have ruined everything for him. In any case is he one of those who forget important items at the presidential villa? And they like to be back again and again! He must heed the warning and stay ahead of predators and spoilers.It is not our inclination to accept that a man of his moral standing will fall for such a prank. However we are all human and once in while vanity can be an issue we must deal with.We know his motherly wife will be vehement in her rejection of the idea. He must pay heed. We are told that a word is enough for the wise!!!

African Leaders : watch the future of your domain! The waste is unsustainable.

Unbelievable! Youths in their prime from Africa Wasted! Why?

THE AFRICAN FREE TRADE

African Free Trade And The Unfolding Reality

The West African Sub-Region must understand it got a very good pass mark in the implementation of the ECOMOG regiment.It was very clearly a masterful political play. So why are they not able to sustain it? ECOWAS must equp ECOMOG and sustain its capacity and capabilities.Indeed ECOMOG should by this time have become a veritable tool for maintaining order and sustaining democracy.It is how other people do it.Human beings will take risks even very foolish ones. It is better to emplace deterrents.ECOWAS ordering and placing five hundred to one thousand troops anywhere in the territory is not outside of the abilities of these soceities.In such a position it will serve as a deterrent. Sanction are too reactionary and without severe enough potency.We will hear something about the promises of the international community.We have said to our political leaders that they must find the answers to the problems that plague their own soceities.

Nobody will be in a better position to do so.If they wanted to help, that is! The question is really who actually wants to help africa? Who is the eager country without an ulterior motive who wants to spend precious resources to help africa? It is the people who lead or wish to lead who must profer solutions for difficulties that plague their own soceity.The benefits of the planned free trade area on the lives of the population are very many.We need to see leadership invest in such a future.We can't have a harvest without planting seeds first.On the other hand is the anarchy and disorder threatened by the present unravelling of the whole entire sahel region.We all know the effect will doudtless be felt in Europe.And it will have very dare consequences.But it will make victims in the southward flow into west africa. We know here poverty is rife and defencelessness is the order of the day.The sooner something is done the better for all!

We have communities of African states that have come together for many years in realization of the power and strength of numbers. In a very competitive world it is the right thing to do.It is not enough to make the decision and speak often about it.There is work to do.It needs work.The infrastructure must be emplaced. We have heard policy statements and plans for the East African economic communities and the one in West Africa popularly called "ECOWAS".But to tansverse these countries is more dificult than undertaking a trip outside the continent. We need to start with roads! These two communities ought to be connected by road networks. But there are none.The African Union must do what like organizations in other parts of the world do. It must build.The trade between countries will not occur in a vacuum or by magic.It must be through interractions.

Roads are needed. Roads and indeed railways must be in the immediate plan.It is not a stretch to demand such action.During the fight for African independence the Organization For African Unity had a committee to oversee the liberation movements.Today in the effort to gain a foothold and bridgehead in the economic liberation of the continent such steps are very necessary.Africa has the resources it needs to develop the necessary infrastructure to prosper a young generation. It is a shame to allow able bodies and sometimes well trained africans leave home to seek work abroad. We all know it is our labour that will create the type of environment we need.We encourage the leadership of the African Union to create a committee on Road, Rail and Sea infrastructure.The establishment of such a body will facilitate the free flow of communication between the people in a way that will help create the rennaissance we are hoping for.

It is the type of ideas the African Union must be involved with now rather than anything else.The young population if engaged will remain in the continent and build it.The countries will adopt a standard for road networks they expect to last generations and go for it.Finally the continent can have the all important infrastructure necessary for sustained growth. The Afican Union will have to establish a commission for the implementation of this very important goal.And we know this is a very labor intense project and will create job for the youths.And these will not be temporary jobs.Each country shall build its own part of the chain and link with the next.It must be made the plan for the immediate future. We have to do these things to put our people especially our youths in the position to benefit from the God given resources in the their own motherland!

Reminding The Nigerian People About Our Alarm And Alert:"Unparented Kids Of Nigeria"

In the year 2002 in and article and essay of a website called "betternigeria.com" I had shed my thoughts on this epidemic. At the time as usual it was one of those things seen as the intellectual excercise of the uncreative.It was the noise of those who "liked to stay on the sidelines and wish".Here are the facts we enunciated at the time: Nigeria has children who are orphaned not by war or famine but by choice.They are abandoned by their own parents.Young male children are abandoned to the elements and their own fate. Quite often many cite religious belief. We know the comfortable and learned in such religions do not practice such extreme behaviours.These children come from homes dealing with extreme lack.It therefore means this is not a religoius but social decision for families.Each family decides as it pleases.Many of them are picked up by the "religious sects". Quite often out of a feeling of responsibility and duty these religious entities take on this task among the many difficult other tasks they already have. We know many of these entities are not gold pots. Neither are they exactly goldmines.In these childrens' mind many of these sects find a very blank slate upon which to place their imprimatur.In many riots and unheavals in environments where these youths exist we know their contribution. Quite often the signals of their feelings about soceity is sent out very early.The young women are not much better off. They are married off as soon as they can barely walk.It might sound like an exaggeration.But we do not believe a child between eight and twelve years of age has actually learned the act getting around well enough!

We have problems that require urgent focus and structured and persistent attention. Such social problems will be made more rampant be increasing poverty. We are not going to wish these things away by the pursuit of very narrow interests.They are members of community that will not quite often have the means to seek escapes.Poverty always reinforces its own cycle until there is help. These were the issues that led to bloody catastrophies in Europe and around the known world in the three centuries between the early 16th to the 19th century.It is a story of blood and terror and great horror.Let me say that a child who find himself in the position of being a pupil in these places will long for the love of parents.He will eventually come to notice that some children indeed have this love which they can only wish for. But their reality is hostility and threat of death and a future of deprivation and blankness.In this blankness is non-existance. What kind of mindset is being created here? Religion is a reality but so also is hunger, desires such as love and dignity. In the lives of these soon to be men choices must be made.The choices are as follows become a cleric of the faith, a bandit using the faith as excuse or an extremist of the faith.We do not exclude exceptions.And in comes weapons and ability to forge coercion.We know what is easier in these circumstances.

It is difficult for many to become clerics.It therefore follows they will become either extremists or bandits.We said in our essay that only a government which will focus on the emancipation of this population as a matter of deliberate policy will rid soceity of this scourge.We were at the time explaining ourselves as to why we were advocating a return to the original constitution of nigeria.We had been accused of trying to elongate a persons time in office.We began on time to make this plea.But those who wanted their "turn" will not look at the problems.We were accused of trying to make someone overstay in office.It is hard to see the logic of such arguments.We were acccused of trying to ingratiate ourselves.Today we are asking our detractors if they are still arguing?

It is now very clear the present arrangement does not have the capacity to address these issues.People are slaughtered and they are hosting carnivals in their fortrsses.The unparented children are charging soceity as an army on revenge mission! In the years from 1954 to 1966 the progress in mitigating the effect of this problem was measurable and very impressive.So the people chose a system that was best fit. If nigeria will be a country it must return to the regions.It is immoral to allow a problem such as this to fester and engulf the entire country.You do not have a soceity for such reasons.Each group must see what works for them and give it their best effort.Nigeria will return to its foundations or it has no path to a future as one unit.

Where Is Leadership Here?Our so called leaders must begin to behave as those entrusted with the future of the soceity. When these sad events occur they must show concern.We see a disconnect .They seem not to be concerned they have drowning and perishing citizens.They watch masses trouping to embassies of every country with total apathy.We see this as a reaction that says every place else outside nigeria is better. Why does it not worry them? How are they suppose to determine the effect and perception of their leadership? How do they wish to measure the impact of their stewardship? Many of the victims are youths who need guidance and protection.It is a strange kind of leadership!

Our experience make us understand why a country is not a nation.But a nation can be a country.We can see that it is easier for a nation to become a country than for a country to become a nation.It is hard to have a different collection of people unite around common basic values.And make those values the reason why they are an entity.Naturally they must be values that bind the group and ensure the well being of the whole rather than a part. Africa needs a hard look at this matter since the countries are partitions created for ease of manipulation and exploitation.

If You Ask Me: Time To Abandon failed Paradigms

We have to state quite clearly that with all due respect the nigerian house is on very shaky foundations right now.It has been a very unsafe space since 1966.For certain people it has been no better than a trap of death.Some people have perfected their plan for a dominant hegemony but it appears it has run into clear problems. Just like the nigerian state it is unravelling and quick.It is the idea of tribal dominance that derailed the nigerian state.The ones who had morbid unfounded fears of Igbo domination have now ceased every apparatus of state and every arm of state force and coercion.And they would like everyone to just accept such a reality.If they reacted in such violent ways as we recall why are the others suppose to accept the developemnt as normal? Had the nigerian government in 1963 determined to run the soceity based on the equity and rule of law the crises in Western nigeria would never have been precipitated.Earlier on the NCNC won an election in western nigeria but was denied by mass defections and as democrats they licked their wounds and moved on.NCNC conceded the position of prime minister after winning a national election to allow for unity.

Some people do not respond in such ways. They feel entitled.In democracies you make a mental note of the fact that Chief Obafemi Awolowo is the preferece of the people and you honor their choice.Dr. Azikiwe knew the futility of fighting with Action Group to the death in western nigeria.It is very strange that some who insist they wish to have a country called nigeria continue in the same line of pursuit.How are they going to make the other nations in the country not to see their schemes? What are they going to do? Make it impossible for them to think? Nigeria will have a population census this year 2022 by the month of May.As usual no side will accept the result with the exception of the ones who have everything in place to pad the numbers by exponential margins.So the endless strife and bickering will continue. It is the very predictable outcome.

We request that these people who claim they love nigeria do what love demands.They claim to have fought a "civil war" to restore the nigerian state. We disagree.What they did was to create another country in which the resources and rights of all other stakeholders was ceased by the most dominant group in the reconfiguration that emerged.Nigeria is a country of four regions.If they want nigeria it must be in that order.What they had at the end of the so called "civil war" or genocide were twelve unequal states "under" a very powerful central government. This center was controlled be a "Supreme military council". The nigerian central government today is a feudal or semi- monarchy.The problem is it lacks the refinemet time and experience affords other monarchies.We all know that "absolute power corrupts". We must understand why the system is synonymous with corruption.If you control somebody they are not able to enforce oversight authority on you. In nigeria Abuja pays everyone and controls all the states.You can't call such an arrangement a federation by any stretch of imagination.

Quite clearly that is not nigeria! By the way the foreign press reports that during the period of the crises, the genocide or civil war soldiers who were court martialled were always of southern nigeria origin. These little details point to a serious element of the general malaise in the soceity. The priviledged northerners killed, raped and maimed by choice and could not be worried about anything. Even the so called tough military top brass from southern nigeria knew not to mess with a northern combatant. If he did he risked a mutiny or being killed. There were no consequences to their excesses and that is not suprising to many of us.Something our research appears to sustain.The government of nigeria is yet to declare Boko Haram a terror organization.It was dragged screaming and shouting before bandits who are making a daily slaughter of innocent citizens are declared terrorists.Many believe it was to justify the label of IPOB.We see how easy it was to label the IPOB. It is the group the government is willing to tackle in any event.

In nigeria history teaches us the talk of Igbo domination has been the baseless lie of those who are determined to keep the country on its knees.We see in history the opposite of this.The disposition of the Igbo has been to seek to build nigeria.But the disinformation continues.The beneficiaries of a comatose nigeria fuel a very false narative. And it has worked for them. We know the people have been the pillar that has held the country together for the most part.Now the youths adjudge the burden unfair and want none of it. I find it difficult to blame them and no reasonable person can.You will not found a country based on the sacrifice of only a segment.From the concessions made by Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe to the resources the people have sacrificed for nearly seventy years, to the war of genocide for the same said resources we follow the trail. It has been a tale of injustice and abuse of trust.These are the details that point to a very unequal relationship. If these people are serious they must release the men who question the false paradigm and commence a process of returning nigeria to the country they ceased by force of arms.If they will not there will be a very determined even armed struggle they are not going to be able to avoid.It will be the only recourse they have left for those who must be free! History not their feelings should inform their choices.

Why The Chief Justice Of Nigeria Actively Intervened In An Election

On this website we have articles that warned the political gladiators in Imo State that they were being set up.When they started scuffles over statues and monuments we pleaded with them to stop. We told them to allow an atmosphere of peaceful continuity.None of them paid attention. The advice was promptly ignored and the bickering continued and provided the opening for the evil in the soceity now.We know they are very "successful" people. Why would they pay attention to a "poor" man who has not "succeeded" like they have? I will only say that some of these men have had no real and proper trajectory to their "success".If the truth is important some of us would prefer not to be in their situation really.It must be very evident to many that success in the way of these evil mechanisms is to some of us despicable.But we are not here for any philisophical polemics. We just wish to tell the people of Eastern Nigeria from Abakpa or Calabar to Igwe-Ocha or Port harcourt, from Afo to Itolu ,from Idoma to Igbanke, from Igede to Ugwashi-Ukwu.We wish to tell all the people who share the culture that honor Nature and Almighty God to understand they are not in bondage if they resist it.

If they reject it, Nature will not ignore their desire.Had they resisted the man who imposed an anomaly on them none of this will be happening.The people of Imo state were faced with a simple single test of gut and will. Some people who claim to be leaders took bribes and chose to sear their own conscience.By that they have accepted guilt for the bloodshed in the land.We know some people have determined to impose their way of life upon us.They were warned and alerted.We told them some of them have sold out. They have found some very unreasonable people to use for this goal.The massacre going on today in Imo State was predictable.Articles on this website detail these kinds of scorched earth tactics as possibilities when the people are not vigilant.Somebody was given limitless resources to uppend his own soceity.He was elated and excited about such a prospect. They can assure a person like this that IPOB an organization that is in over one hundred and seventy countries is a terrorist organization.They meet regularly in open places and organize events publicly.Again in nigeria we see the choice for the easy approach.

We view the choice of some hand picked politicians in a star state in eastern nigeria as evil of the scale of the war of genocide foisted on the people because of crude oil.The cluelessness of this person about the substansive issues of equity and dignity is a weeping shame.His wide grin and his "little boy in the toy shop exuberance" is such a sad sight.He had been well groomed as always. The men who took bribes rather than defend the population from this evil are guilty of the blood of these innocent people being massacred. They have forgotten that the prize of liberty is constant vigilance.They accepted bribes now their homes are under seige.The communities they claim to represent are being destroyed and innocent blood is being shed. The land of their birth is being desecrated. They must know they took the side of those who are guilty of the blood of four million lives from among us.Violence is never an answer. After every violence must come negotiation and agreements.We think it is best if agreements and negotiation are first given a very honest and tenacious effort. Often those with authority impose their positions.We know what happened where is an imposition.

Someone was chosen for this job because he has been seen as a person with no gravitas.Now the state has been devastated by violence and the people watch as their communities are destroyed one after another. They have been thrown out of their homes by freak conflicts and murders. They watch their youth slaughtered as though they are worthless.We know those who have done this will like to use this method and approach again.If the people who have caused so much loss of lives are not held accountable by the people it will become a trend. It is the responsibility of the community to cleanse its self.Every organic community is a system.It is self sustaining and self cleansing.In a democracy the chance for change always presents every now and again.We like to tell them that the attempt to make the agitation for self determination a treasonable offence in nigeria would not mean anything if the people reject it.The right to self determination is a God given right.No country can take it away.It is not a right any country can bestow.Not even nigeria.All over the world the right to self govern has been responsible for many situations.In the end the ones who insist to govern themselves triumph.It is not served.It is taken.We like all the people who fight for their right to human dignity to understand this truth.If they will not stand up they will be the loosers and the underlings in this space.

The Nigerian Space And The Igbo Of Eastern Nigeria

We are watching disintergration of nigeria in slow motion.We knew the people who have been busy pitching positions that are inimical to peace will succeed.They have no challenge.The challenge is for the victims. And they finally have.But are they happy? It is hard to understand their angst.They must now congratulate themselves.For so many years one was wondering when they will recognize that unity is not a theory. Unity is a condition that is attained through agreements.The fruits of unity are peace and prosperity.We must not pretend that we are not aware that peace can't be achieved in a vacuum. We all remember the indegenization decree of 1972. Rewind a little more.The people of Eastern nigeria had just returned from a so called war. But it was actually genocide and a massacre which happened as the whole world looked the other way.

As the people emerge from their caves and hell holes they were welcomed with very wonderful words.But those were for photo opportunities.All they got was twenty pounds a piece. The central government had promised "Reconstruction, Reconciliation and Rehabilitation". It never materialized.All of that was paid for by the twenty pounds! Even if you had twenty million pounds in the bank before the war you got back twenty pounds. Many Igbo people died of heartbreak.So many had sabotaged the effort of the "Biafran authorities" in the war in the hope to have access to their money. It was not to be.Two years later in 1972 nigeria promulgated the indegenization decree.The decree required companies to have nigerians as majority owners.In effect the nigerian government took businesses including the ones in which the Igbo people had interests and handed them to other nigerians.

Clearly it was aimed to exclude them because they could not afford the funds to buy out the foreign owners.If you tell me this was not a well planned move to ensure Igbo penury I will disagree with you.Now look where we are.We are begging the foreign investors back.One section of nigeria is under strict islamic laws.The danger of sectarian violence is a thought every investor must weigh properly. If you are of a different faith you are in more than one mess.It is not a theory. It is the truth and the reality.The people who desired this end and made it happen want unity with others who do not share their point of view.Who will pay for such a unity? Of course we know the implications of such a relationship and reality.

Today the nigerian currency is less valuable than the paper it is printed on.Effectively nigerians have been enslaved at home. It was not a problem the Igbos do not understand.When you go to borrow and you are desperate all sort of things happen.The igbo find themselves struggling in a situation they have clean answers for. Every business is a model of a nation. Igbos manage their businesses resoundingly successfully.Nigeria has been very unfair to the Igbo.The Igbo gave the rest of nigeria independence. They were the ones that got arrested and went to jail in the fight for independence.They were the ones who lost lives for the same reason. Look what and where nigeria and nigerian has kept them! If the youths decide they have no stomach for the nauseating relationship no reasonable person must blame them.It is not a healthy relationship to which one would want to commit their future.If nigeria can't at least accept the founding agreement and basis of the union it makes no sense to continue to wish peace and unity and do wickedness even evil to some people.

Nigeria Must Move Away From Borrowing:It Is Not The Future.Return Soceity To What Works! Services And Production

We are not blaming the present government for all the ills of nigeria.It is not innocent either. It has contributed to it.It is by no means responsible for everything that ails the nigerian soceity.But it has done some harm nevertheless.WE wish to say that leadership is about solving problems that exist.It is not suppose to solve imaginary problems.We said that the present government does not help when it insists on the status quo.The status quo has failed on all counts.Sustaining and maintaining it is very sad, unfortunate and unproductive.Nigeria wants the people of eastern nigeria who have paid the most extreme prizes for the unity of nigeria to continue to bear the burden while the others coast along.It is sad that because they have some few men whose massive ego and very thin coat of reason will not allow to reason they think all is well.Within the communities of the whole region are youths who are angry. Nigeria like to ignore everything until it explodes.It is impossible to make the structure they call nigeria to work.It is very inorganic.The people in Gombe, in Kafanchan or Kano are going to work for their wealth and their prosperity.If the people in Abuja will not allow this so will the spate of insecurity dog them until Abuja become unsafe for them.

The criminal behaviour that caused the abandonement of the constitutional framework that produced globally recognized economies in eastern and western regions of nigeria in the fifties and sixties keeps on raking havoc.The external hands keep their manipulation unabated.Nigeria rather than choose men who understand the nature of this battle are busy apportioning leadership like rounds of ration.The others are not playing though. Using local hands they have oiled very well they distort reality and diminish truth and facts.They sponsor conflicts all over africa.All the agression and violence that has occured in nigeria stems from the tendency to go off script.For what reason are the yoruba,Igbo, fulani, hausa,Ogoni, Ibibio, Annang,Ijaw,Igbira,Nupe etc wish to have one country? We have actually no ideals for the conflict prone association.The constitution that at least provided a basis is tossed away. Today we have an entity without purpose and origin. Why are a disparate group, actually very different nations called a country? Is it for the purpose of having a big country with large population? What is the idea? Nigeria now has a debt service to revenue at 98%. The number represents trouble in every way.Nations capable of providing for themselves, who have indeed done so for ions are now owing other countries? Why? What kind of leadership is this?

Between December 31 2020 and June 30 2021 nigerian debt grew from 32.916 trillion naira to 35.465 trillion naira.It represents a growth of about 8%.For a single year the number is sickening. Nobody runs a soceity like that.Yet we just learnt the nigerian legislators approved a further $16 billion dollars and #1 billion Euro for the nigerian government. These people have sold the next generation along with the present.It is frightening to say the least.We can't see how the country gets out of this trap in one piece.Countries that have borrowed from some sources are in a deep mess and regret today.And nigeria with a population of over two hundred million of mostly youth jumps right into the alligator pond! We thank our rubber stamp legislative houses for the due diligence!

The Nigerian Government Teases The Idea Of Blaming IPOB For The Problems In The South East

We know the people who peddle hate do not realize that many in their audience do not share their burden.When such speak on their feelings as though they are facts they are not able to convince everyone.We had invited the world to watch the events in Eastern Nigeria as unbiased observers.And thank God they are.We lost four million lives and we are not stupid. IPOB has been in the forefront of the defence of the entire Eastern Region brotherhood from the invasion of foreign interests that has prevented the prosperity of the peoples of the area. We heard the former Chief of Army Staff complain that the reason Boko Haram can't be defeated is because "the people have a religious attachement to them"! The rest in the country must hear this truth coming from a source no reasonable person can ignore.

The agents of these forces are reactionary feudal minds who care very little about those around them. When they targeted Igboland by seeking to plant a phoney IPOB understood their move. They recognized the move to install a man as governor by fiat in a democracy as a hostile move. They warned that this was only a beginning.They warned there was more to it. IPOB was the only group that understood the danger this move posed in Igboland.We had expected the people to see it for what it is.But they had other ideas.We just showed why the IPOB is the target of the feudal overlords and their agents in uniform.

The elected members in the state and legislators saw this unfortunate event as their own opportunity for self enrichment.To their shame they now regret everything.They were made to sell their liberty and lives of their youth for pittance.How ever much they were paid is nothing compared with what they have lost and cost the soceity.How much did the men elected to the Imo house to represent the interest of the people get for their evil? We wonder what can clease them of blood and a conscience of guilt.Today the people who are sponsoring the mayhem in Eastern nigeria are trying to blame Nnamdi Kanu for the very issues he was up against. Nnamdi kanu has been speaking to the issues of dehumanization of the people of Eastern Region.How is it possible for him to sponsor same? The accusation will not wash.We urge the people bent on breaking nigeria up to thread softly. They have almost accomplished that goal.In every part of nigeria the reactionary forces and agents of imperialism has ceased the sources and means of production.The people have been reduced to pawns.It is what the present battle is about.It might turn nasty and very regreatable for all involved.These youngmen and women feel as though they have little to loose.

It makes no sense for it to be more painful than it needs to be. Accusing the IPOB will not lead to a good place. It is hard to make some people believe that a keg of gunpowder and fire will create an explosion. They just want to find out.We remind them of "wetie" in Western nigeria.It should be obvious to these people they are seeking a "wetie 2.0". We like to tell them that Nnamdi Kanu is no Ken Saro-Wiwa.The group will cause more trouble than Boko haram multplied by ten. IPOB did not kill Dr.Chike Akunyuli.It is very impossible to make any Igbo person accept such a very foolish theory.Anyone who suggests that is not an Igbo and does not understand the reasoning of the Igbo people.Why would any Igbo man kill such a man? The family has done nothing but make the Igbo proud.Is that a reason for IPOB to seek to murder their own? We have a government filled with wannabe religious zealots.Their personal agenda has thrashed the government over and over.As far as we know the rest of nigeria is still secular.The portion that has gone fundamentalist must hold their fire until the seperation they desire is complete or they will unleash total mayhem.We know how terror arrived in Eastern nigeria and the timeline.The whole world also knows.We asked them to watch with us! If they think they will blame IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu for the mayhem they have sponsored in the region they will be shocked.The world has the evidence.At the right time the truth will come out.

What The Nigerian Space Requires Today

It might already be too late but we can try and there is only a single option. It is a return to the regions and regional governance.We suggest that the peoples of the space will be very satisfied with the conditions under the leadership of the various men who led the regions before the 1966 coup.The only problem then was the upsetting dissonance from the center.Without the nuissance of the center nigeria will be a world power today.Chief Awolowo was not running an environment second to any.

Neither was his compatriot in the eastern flank. They were running superlative economies.And the man in northern nigeria had no option. He had to join the competition. Nigeria was making real progress.Can nigeria find a leader who will have an ego that will permit the regions to develop character and independence without becoming jealous? Is there someone who will be a team member with the men who will emerge to lead the regions? Can nigeria find a person who will not be harassed by foreign interests and opinions? Can there be a person with enough tact to deal with these issues? Are there people among us who have the empathey and compassion to want to deal with these issues? If we have such men and women we can solve the problems.Politics is a series of human events. With reason you can make it achieve the intended purpose.It can also be hijacked.

Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was in a serious predicament.He was an astute politician in his own right. He was very aware he had no domain.The premier was in control of the political space in Northern nigeria.The emir owned the civic space.So the man came south and turned westward.He could not go east.The Igbos are not his type and they will reject him outright.He was honest to himself and never worried to woo them.Besides Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe was not a man you like to play politics with as an opponent.He left his opponents mesmerized quite often. So he veers westward inevitably.But here he also clashed with indomitable Chief Obafemi Awolowo! It is the brutal truth and summary of the tragedy that befell a young country.This main problem exposed every weak link.And it crashed the country.

Can we find leaders who are clear about the difference between illusion and reality? Religious peity and pictures painted by some of its positions are illusions. We need godly men and women.We need God fearing women and men. We need people with moral decency.If we can find men and women who can lead regions that will develop economies strong enough to rebuid our soceities, our communities will become small self reliant nations. Nations that can feed themselves. The communities will become nations where people have occupations and feel safe.If that is done we might have a country.We must add that this must not be a rhetorical issue.

If we are not able to do so in the present configuration we have to find one that lends us that possibility. It is the way to rebuild the african soceity. We must remember the present structure and foundation was not for building enduring civilizations.The structures were feeding other interests. It has to be consciously reworked! Africa will be that continent we all yearn for.Can we find men and women who will commit to build roads and provide every infrastructure without borrowing the future of another generation?

What we are witnessing presently is insane.It is impossible to have a carcass for long without scavengers. And they are showing up in the nigerian space.We all know the present structure can't be sustained.The more we delay the more the place is ruined further and further.If this step will not be taken the alternative must be clear to the components and stakeholders.Nostalgia is not enough reason to watch the ungoing waste and loss of lives.We are dealing with a tragedy and horror.It can no longer be ignored.

The News About Obi Cubana's Arrest By EFCC

The news headline coming at the heels of the humiliation to the honorable Justice Mary Odili is rather troubling.We said it that the young man picked by the government of nigeria to head EFCC is typical General Buhari military type action and style.As a person we know he always will push the envelope.He chose a perfect toy.The reason is becoming very apparent. The man is not good enough to be a principal of any of the government colleges in nigeria.He is not capable. We did not jump to this conclusion. We have waited for his approach and decisions to create a trend. We have seen a very dangerous one.Nigeria is a difficult place for an inexperienced person to head a federal office successfully.It will task him to a mental breakdown. This man is not yet ready for prime time.Yet some people will not understand this complexity.It is not enough he is fulani.Nigerians are not all fulanis! I know what I am talking about.Professor Sanya Onabamiro was the provost of the Federal School of Art And Science in Ogoja at some point. This choice seemed like an overkill.But it showed good judgement.

The institution was restive when Chief Olusegun Obasonjo was General Obasonjo and military head of state. He did not take the matter lightly and reason that this was a small institution. He recognized the political weight and implication of such a place.The children of many elites at the time from different parts of nigeria attended the institution.In a way student behaviour in such a place reflected positions that mirrored soceity. Recognizing this dynamics he chose an experienced person to head the institution.And the honorable amiable professor made lightwork of the situation giving the youth who came under his care a memorable and very entertaining series of events.We have a democracy yet we have a government that will attempt to solve problems with levity.We can't see the rigour and gravity that many issues demand reflected in the approach to solutions.It is killing the country and its citizens!

Today nigeria has been turned into a cage where people are treated as commodity.What is this mans pedigree? How could he be put in such a place to learn the nigerian political terrain? What a very dangerous move again by this government! I do not want to be rude. His rather boyish appearance should not undermine his qualifications. Somebody can be young and boyish and appear peevish but is eminently qualified.It is a matter of being ready.But EFCC is a rough place and tough territory.The person to run such a place must be able to stand up to even the president.He must be seen to be able to defend the office as a non political entity.Quite clearly this person is not capable of looking into the eyes of the president of nigeria or any of his men. How are the nigerian people suppose to accept the logic that once more ignores rampant phenomenon to fight a happenstance?

People like Obi Cubana are few.We have politicians who feed fat out of the resources of the country abounding in the thousands and more.How come the EFCC reached for a self made man like Obi Cubana? What makes the agency unable to see the corruption the rest of the soceity can see among its own class of people? We have images of the parties they host in exotic places around the world and the spraying of foreign currency? All of them are money that was stolen quite clearly! We have always known the nigerian ports authority is a corruption cesspool.How about the young man see what he could do over that? Okay it is being run by his fulani cohorts.We have heard about the poor receipt of monies belonging to the central government from agencies.Even the legislators complained the agencies simply refuse to make payment of monies received on behalf of government.So why does he have time to investigate a man who has no connection at all with government financies? Is this for lack of anything else to do? I think he looks around and all the government agencies are headed by his own people.Quite clearly we only can conclude this arrest again is egregious and reeks again of malice. It is like the logic of herders and bandits versus the Igbo motor spareparts dealers spurned by his compatriot in the ministry of justice.He spins the logic to the amusement of the rest of the world.It is exactly what we see here! We see an effort "to treat this people in the language they will understand". Someone wants to prove his loyalty much like a gang initiation.

Please, please I never said henchmen!! And no time did I say hachetmen or "cabal"! I never used any such words here.Quite clearly he can't say "no" to any of them.We need to know what he has done before to prepare him for such a very sensitive position.EFCC is not a place for picnic for an acolyte you wish to reward.It is also not a place to prepare someone for the future.You must come here prepared.And that is the problem. It is a place to determine the future of some top people in soceity.Nigeria is the only country in the world with a population this large that gamble with leadership.It must not continue.Those who want better must continue to seek change. And this statement is a truth! We heard all the bruhaha about the funeral the man Obi Cubana hosted for his beloved mother. He honored a princess and praise worthy Igbo woman who by the way happens to be his "mama". And was very pivotal to the success he has attained.He made many people successful along the way and they remembered. And they know he loved his mother.It is how life works.It is another Igbo success story that comes to light so beautifully. So now they have got to smear it. It is a task that "must to be done".We have people who invest in violent approaches and they will never understand the good side of our common humanity!

The other day we saw a supreme court justice treated to total trashing and disrespect by this same entity.It makes us think about what happened to Professor Akunyili and her husband a well known physician Dr. Akunyili.Imo state today and the massacre going on in what was the most peaceful state reminds us of why Justice Water Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen was disgraced out of office as Chief Justice.His departure made room for the man who has turned Imo state into a grave yard of our youths. We are making mental note.As usual we ask the world to remember.All this because of the tribe of the individual.We frown at these moves and warn the entity to stop or be totally trashed its self by citizens.If it will be used as a political weapon then it can't stand as an entity for law enforcement.It must choose which it stands for. The choice must become evident fast.We want to tell Obi Cubana not to join the APC. Political parties in nigeria use the Igbo to bankroll them.Go and ask close associates of Dr Alex Ekwueme.It happened before us all. We know it is the ploy! Usually after too many pestering otherwise reasonable people will join a party that has become a fulani club! We can always find something around a business person in the public space for as long as Obi Cubana has been. His people understand that. He will not be a fulani offering of atonement.Incidentally the Igbo are asking them to explain why they have wasted the lives and shed the blood of so many Igbo people. The EFCC will clear the cloud that it has become the "enforcer" of the "cabal". It will not also be the enforcer of the laws of nigeria. Which is it? The nigerians will like to know.

The people can't wait to know how to respond to stop the impending calamity they are about to create.We will not have an entity that will be used to kill certain individuals.It is evident that people who become their captives come out different as far as health goes. And that is if they are very lucky.We see their hatred for the Igbo people rearing up its very ugly head."Nyamiri yaa mutu yaa kari". The Igbo is dead. The igbo is finished. It was the fulani chant for the genocide that claimed four million Igbo lives. Not again. Not again! It could be recalled that the mayor of Enugu in 1952 Mallam Umar Altini was a full blooded fulani man. He identified with the Igbo struggle,was a member of the Zikist movement and was accepted as a citizen and a member of Igbo soceity and easterner.He was a muslim.Chief M.KO Abiola in the heat of the problem after the election he won resoundingly ran to Igboland.He trusted them and was protected by them. Nobody dared betray him! Nigerians remember those who convinced him to give himself up. It was not the Igbos.He was advised by them to wait for some clearity.They have learned never to trust the nigerian style of law enforcement and justice.Sometimes it defies commonsense.The people who would ruin him convinced Chief Abiola there could be no clearity and direction without him.The people are still angling for power even today.He followed them and never returned to his family.We wish to warn the people fanning the new embers, throwing up these old hate lines that it is now an open secret.One day nigeria and nigerians will wish they responded differently to the people they love to hate! And the world is about to respond to it for good!

The Government Of Nigeria Has A Self Imposed Nightmare

The cleric known as a Sheik has threatened the government of nigeria not to dare to declare the bandits as terrorists.He accepts their actions are indeed terrorism but opines it will be unleashing hell to declare them as such.He explains it will invite their kins from around the sahel to march into nigeria.Something that we know has already happened.This man has a partner another very outspoken "sheik" in the present government.He heads the ministry of communication.We have to say it is not the first time the government of nigeria has been ordered to shut up! And it complied quietly.Everytime these men sneeze our government takes the knee.We are all watching.And we like to ask the governors and politicians from Southern nigeria to take note. This scenario has played out quite very often. It is not possible to run a modern soceity in such a manner.You are not able to maintain the rule of law under these kind of circumstances.When you hear the offended youths from Eastern nigeria sing and shout the word "zoo" it is their reason. The governement sent the army to peaceful youths carrying cellphones and flags in Eastern nigeria to slaughter them like wild animals.Protest is free speech.

It is constitutional. In the United States people have flags for everything under the sun.For some the state of Texas is a nation. For others Carlifornia is a nation. They have their flags.Some have their mock currencies! We all know America has among if not best law enforcement in the world.We are told the IPOB carry flags.The nigerian government murders people because of flags? We have reports these people are slaughtered in their hundreds.Sometimes with military war planes.We think some ignorant people are excercising power they ought not to have! They must give an answer for their behaviour.We ask why the group that had been peaceful is being framed by the government and their leader apprehended.We watch the various efforts and attempts to incriminate him.We ask why they are being hunted like some game in the wild by the government of nigeria? Eastern nigeria has lost four million people before in the hands of these people.Pregnant women were ripped open.Children were slowly starved to death.Men who went to work were killed and cut to pieces. Our men in uniform were killed in the officers mess.We are tired and fade up! We are in agreement with Mark Twain " buy land because they are not making it anymore".We are in our own land and we are not selling it or giving it up!

We have a menacing armed well organized group reconfiguring nigeria with governments tacit conivance and approval. We wish to let Mr. president know he has people with a very dark agenda in his government.The nigeria government will never bring any case against the IPOB that will meet the taste and test of equity and fairness.It is tribalistic and ethnic to have one set who will never go wrong.They can go to yorubaland,Idomaland, Igbiraland and cut off peoples right hands,kill and rape in broad day light and you refuse to see them. But you will accuse another group of crimes they have not commited.We heard the absurd accusation IPOB hijacked the ENDSARs protest in nigeria. But we saw the brutalization of an Uber driver in lagos on the memorial for those who were lost in the protest.Once his "ethnicity" was identified.By ethnicity I mean religion.

We watched a nigerian being killed slowly in front of the camera by the law enforcement.The gallant man battled the evil which is a sign in its own right.Clement Adedotun is a christian from southern nigeria. Once he was identified to be a christian we saw him being slowly murdered on camera. Somebody has to hijack such a matter to make it resonate as evil? We must then say it is a possitive hijack in that case.It reminded us of the slaughter that occured in Abeokuta of Lieutnant Col. Gabriel Okonweze,the garrison commander, John Obienu commander of the second Reece Squadron, Lieutnant E.B Orok member and officer of the same Reece Squadron.It reminds us that General J T Aguiyi-Ironsi was not attacked in northern nigeria.He was killed in Ibadan while being hosted by a man he considered a brother.Notice that the executioner was not a fulani.He was a man from the among the people called the "vassals". Someboby we all know well today,called Theophilus Danjuma. He is not a fulani and he is not a muslim.The man who was to retire from the nigerian military as a General reminds us of how people have been used. It reminds us also of the effort and continuing harm awaiting the people who are still slubering through this slow smoothering.

Lieutnant Col. Gabriel Okonweze,the garrison commander, John Obienu commander of the second Reece Squadron, Lieutnant E.B Orok member and officer of the same Reece Squadron were all gallant patriotic members of the nigerian military.But they were in a web by those with other motives and ideals. This event took place on July 29 1966 in Abeokuta, in present day Ogun State.Five decades after we are still dealing with the same issues.It was called a revenge coup.When a crime is committed in soceity the people responsible are punished. What happened here was an entire race of people were framed as purposed by the authors of this evil.In these chain of events Major General Johnson Thomas Aguiyi-Ironsi the military head of state was killed. He is a christian and an Igbo.With him hundreds of thousands of people of eastern nigerian descent.It led to a so called war.These were all facade.The real reason for all of these things was to subdue the people and to gain access to the resources in Eastern nigeria.Nigeria has not changed at all since then.The faultlines have only been made worse.

The introduction of extreme religious principles has unraveled northern nigeria irrepairably.They can't find consensus around anything except hatred for people of other belief system and values.The southward march of these forces is what groups like IPOB are resisting.We are shocked the nigerian government responds as if it is the sponsor of the unsettling set of events.We can't have a counter coup again.We have been in no place to make a coup. The Igbo people have been excluded from power in a country they freed from colonialism for over six decades.And they will not endure any other atrocity in nigeria under any guise.God forbid! It is not worth it.

We needed to share such images with the rest of the world.It is not what anyone in government should be doing.We are being treated to how a soceity is destroyed and we have said so many times.If the nigerian government can't declare the people who are killing, looting, raping and burning entire towns as terrorist we have a real problem.We wish to warn the governors in Eastern nigeria to get a clue.They are not suppose to be clueless. Even if they are they must be made aware by events around them.We have a mole. And that too is being addressed by our brilliant minds.It is a chess move and it will have superior and better counter move.The man will represent to owners of the land as ordained by God or face Nature in her power and wrath.He is not going to be the foothold of evil in the land of the people who's cover is the name of God!

What The Former Head of State And Now President Need To Do

At this age the former tough man must be sobering down at least inwardly.We are going to ignore the fact his amiable wife has cried out severally on his behalf.Our suggestion to the former military head of state is to quickly empanel some men and women to look into returning to the nigerian constitution.While at it they must also look into creating the Middle-belt region.We are going to assume that the sponteneity with which the sharia declaration happened is a sign of its popularity.We must not reason the people were taken unawares.No, we can't do that.In which case we must allow the sharia states to become a region.But let all of this be brought back into the framework of the existing founding constitution.

It is the only true help the man that contested for presidency more than any other nigerian can offer the country he "rules".No, I mean to say govern. It will make him a leader.We want him to have a legacy.His many attempts to help nigeria are at least acts of genuine concern.We remember "War Against Indiscipline(WAI) of his former incarnation.We like to help him with a framework and structure.It is what his efforts have lacked. And assure him the world will stand with him all the way as he tries to heal what is a mortal wound in soceity.If he is unable to take this step it must be in fear of the people who eliminated Alhaji Shehu Musa Yar'Adua for not "using the military". If they prevail then nigeria dies. Emotions and force of arms and whatnots will not prevent this.The sheer force of the desire of millions of youths to have the life they now see in color in social media will confront everything before it. As we know Nature wins very often! There is no question about that.We do hope he can prevail if he pursues this brotherly agenda.

He can then grant amnesty to everyone including Boko Haram.You heard me right.We can't enter the rabbit hole and pursue and chase something that has no value. The people who are willing to kill themselves make it hard for you to have laws.Laws are premised on the sanctity of life.The suicide bombers are not in anyway worried about themselves.Why would they worry about anyone else? We must prevent our citizens from getting to the place where they make such determinations about themselves.Very often I find myself wondering why we allowed ourself ignore the feelings of others until they descend to such lows.We can at least attempt to remedy the course of these type of events.We know education and exposure to reasoning always accomplishes such goals. These are very angry young people. They are just fade up with their own soceity. The step proposed will bring healing.It brings decision making home.

The regions will absorb their own and begin the healing process.The sooner this is done the sooner the politicians can breathe easy.In the present situation they should be worried.The type of unsettled situation is how violent revolutions happen.If that occurs they are prime targets and they all know it.We urge them to go to work.It is in their real interest to do so.It is not as difficult to destroy anything as it is to build. We have watched nigeria being destroyed by some who lack the empathy and compassion for their fellow citizens.They deny them their humanity and are quite suprised they are acting in very unusual ways.In places where people show patriotism there is a reason why.Give our people what to believe in.We urge civil soceity to see how this can be brought about quickly.We are tired of hearing about africa and nigeria's potentials.She was on the verge of actuating these potentials before being stopped by the same people who can't stop the songs about her many potentials!

The Need To Frame Issues Properly

The so called trial of the IPOB leader is a very sad event for so many people. We have a nationalist being tried.He raises many pertinent issues.He does them in his own authentic style.And the group he leads had been peaceful.The other groups envy the cohession, poise and focus of this group.And it is all thanks to the intellect and charisma of their leader.The terrorists and murderers are receiving millions in ransome payment by this same government.I do not like the fact he is in the hands of the forces of nigeria.I have never seen a more confussed entity.The present dispensation has not hidden its disdain for the people of Eastern nigeria especially the Igbo.The IPOB is not different from associations like the NAACP in the United States.There are people in the group who nurse seperatist ideas.Who cares? Human beings can nurse whatever makes them feel good.You can't try to frame them based on that. The law must see everyone as sacred irrespective of their views. It is evil to try to incriminate a person based on their views.In the United States of America there are militias by the number.It is one of the rights of the citizen.It is not the job of government to curtail these rights.The nigerian government which has not found a way to engage any segment of soceity continues in its march of impunity.I have heard the man Mr.Nnamdi Kanu say he is not interested in political power.I have heard him repeat very often that all he wishes to see is the people of the region "exist free:"for them "to live and die in dignity".We do not know why he is an enemy of the nigeria state.He seeks a referendum to determine if the concensus to live together still exists.It happened in Britain recently.What is wrong with this demand?.The people who imposed sharia law without even seeking the views of those affected do not care to know how the rest in soceity view the development.

If the people who wish to kill him are so sure there is "unity" why are they afraid to have the question answered by the people themselves? Why do they answer for people who are present? We are telling them we know the terror in Eastern nigeria is sponsored. We hold them responsible for it.We know their agents in the evil including the beneficiaries of their political chicanery in the space.The army goes to a home of a man with a case in court to kill him instead of wait for the court date. The members of IPOB have been slaughtered with reckless abandon.They have forgotten the people have suffered irrepairable losses in this same system before.The wounds are still very present.We reject their spurious claims and accusations against Mr. Nnamdi Kanu.We know how minds like their own work.They wish to see how the people will respond. All these theory of treason can be seen in such devious light.However many of us are not impressed with their many efforts.If it comes to surrounding a people who have lost four million of their own before with killers it is a step too far! If it comes to threatening them to make them abandon their resources it will be rejected.We demand the case be handled properly or it will mark a watershed on the issues he raises.People of Eastern nigerian are tired of the games with their lives and existence.And they are not very impressed with the effort to reduce them to upstarts.Nigeria, indeed Africa will not be a free entity without their relentlessness.We remind the federal government to call its agencies to order and demand they act with decorum.We state in the presence of the rest of the world that enough is enough!

We know there are many people with extreme views in the government.It is pertinent to remind such that their views neither constitute nor represent the laws of the land.Mr Kanu is not a terrorist.He is a man born into a family of people from eastern nigeria.He is an offspring of a very rich culture.He has his rights and nobody will abiridge those rights on account of any other factors.He is not going to be treated like a common criminal.We saw a man who won a democratic election treated like a common criminal and killed by this same people.Chief Moshood Abiola was an eloquent nigerians who made a case for true unity in nigeria and prevailed.He was killed by this people who want unity that has no definition.Mr. Ken Saro-Wiwa was killed when he asked why the lands of Ogoni was being poluted for their own resources from which they receive nothing.We are very determined this will never be such a case.By GOD it better not be! We ask why people like Dr.Beko Ransome-Kuti are not here with us? How about Chief Gani Fawehenmi? We demand to know what killed former governor Chief Sam Mbakwe. We recall the man who answered the call of their type of unity Dr Chuba Okadigbo. Where is he? With all due respect we are told that Ikemba Odumegwu Ojukwu's health deteriorated after his trip "in search for common ground".It seems to some of us they have only one solution to anyone from Southern nigeria who appears determined to seek a change in status quo.They have all been rewarded with this same fatal gift.There are just a very few exception to this rule.We know those people and why they survived.

Mr Nnamdi Kanu is a patriotic man who loves his people.We have seen him making his case around the world.The places where he has been with the case stand as witnesses.He is not a man of suspect logic and mindset.We see terrorists posing with governors taking selfies with their guns.It happens all the time across Northern nigeria. We have not seen these men who wish to portray him as a bad person do the same in the face of the horror the country has faced for over twelve years.When they sponsored non nigerians who enter the eastern region raping and killing and destroying farmlands it goes beyond antics and politics.It is a campaign to wipe a people out.It is not unusual for any human with any awareness to act in his own defence when threatened. To make attempts to impute sin and crime under such circumstances flies in the face of reality and equity.If the people who are attempting to run a country with no agreement think Mr. Nnamdi Kanu's incarceration will confer legitimacy on them they are wrong.It will instead mark the beginning of a different kind of struggle in nigeria.It will be the beginning of the actual struggle to disband the franchise.Sovereign people are free to reconfigure however they choose.We do not see the benefit of an entity that is unable to answer or resolve even the least of issues amicably.

How The South East Was Unraveled By The Nigerian State

On March 9 2019 the newly minted Chief Justice of nigeria declared the fourth runner up in a gubernatorial election the winner in Imo state.The candidate had actually been made a null entry by a court judgement which made an opponent the candidate for the political party the APC.We all remember how Justice Onoghen was disgraced out of office and nearly imprisoned to make room for the man who will precipitate this reality.How could you have told Justice Onoghen to declare a fourth runner up the winner? In this case the man knew what to do. The agenda is no secret to the elites from northern nigeria.Imagine how they were burst dialecting with the poor southern elites in a so called National Conference when they already had a date for declaring the sharia law in every single northern state.Before the election and the nebulous agenda it was part of, the space and eastern nigeria was at peace.

At this time the state and space is picture of peace and calm. Many articles on this site are still up documenting the progression to the present hell.It has been a precipitous slide into avoidable disaster. We saw all of this coming and warned the people. But they thought we are alarmists.We said the same of the present Anambra election. They tried four years ago and failed.Fast forward to today in October 2021. The space is in a state of war.Homes and neighborhood are being burnt.Cars are tourched as if they cost no money.The unkwown gunmen, the police, the nigerian military and the now hardened agitators trade accusations.Disarray and disorder and mayhem rules the day.There is chaos and near anarchy in the entire South eastern nigeria.Many say it is the case in the entire eastern nigeria all things considered.The federal government is now contemplating declaring a state of emergency in Anambra state. Imagine Anambra state of all places. This place was a haven of peace.It is hard to think a government brought about such reality in soceity!

All through the murderous mayhem of Boko Haram nobody raised such a spectre.But the political elites in Eastern nigeria see no danger yet.They think if they join APC everything will be all right.But they also understand that by joining APC their state and space become the home of foreign armed and well equipped bandits whose motive and source are unknown.In a nigeria where twelve states declared Sharia law overnight to the shock of the rest we think it is time to take matters a little less lakadaisically.Perhaps it is time to begin to think of safety and security in the true sense.It flies in the face of reason to call the army that is the bedrock of this arrangement to protect its victims.The sooner we all begin to seek answers the better.We know the nigerian authorities are well aware that declaring a state of emergency anywhere in nigeria is playing into the tigers den.The nigerian military are perhaps bidding their time and waiting really patiently for a perfect excuse.No. I am just kidding! When that happens we know it is good bye n-ig-ge-ria!

What Nigerians Want To See Is Dialogue Not Soldiers And Armoured Tanks

The pranksters who have hijacked nigeria must not assume they are that good.Right now they can be called before they pull any of their stunts.For any magician the fun in what he does is in the suprise with which his viewers respond to them.When the tricks are all well known the magician must relocate or his means of livlihood is in danger.The nigerian magicians have run out of tricks.Military coups are out of the question.They exhausted the priviledge completely. And now the same actors are not even able to divert the attention of the suffering masses.The Goodluck Jonathan government used the National conference.The government before was by far involved in efforts to resolve the issues.It was a trend we lost almost immediately.

The present government and its leader are not able to abandon his inclination to the use of violent approaches and methods.They just can't seem to be able to do so. When there is a disagrement the opponent must capitulate or perish. It is a very dangerous inclination in a democracy or in any government. Purpose of government is to harness disagreements. No two people can exits concurrently.It is impossible for any two people to be exact and have no differences at all.Disagreements happen.They are natural. Recently the government fell out with nigerian resident medical practitioners and could not find a good place for an olive branch until all the doctors were recruited by mostly european countries! As though such was the goal.It is not the first time an exodus have occured under this man's leadership. Most nigerians remember the story and advert clip referred to as "Andrew: I' m checking out"! His first coming witnessed the exodus of the cream of the nigerian intelligentia.The man was the crystal ball of the nigerian military for many years.We have a former coup maker who knew something about all the coups in nigeria and who benefitted from almost all but one.

It is true we have a man who thinks he understands the nigerian people.The man seen as crafty is now the iconic desert fox.And nigerians also know him well.He has no idea it goes both ways! We know who created and who is creating insecurity in eastern nigeria.We have no doubt at all what is going on in eastern nigeria.The only place governors and leaders could not do anything to protect citizens.Citizens around the world reacted to do so after crying into silence, fear and cowardice and the governors wake up from their sweet slumber. Today those who sponsored the insecurity want to secure the area by eliminating the entire youths population and future of the area. And this to the glee of the gullible men they have handpicked as leaders in the space.The politicians who are unable to read the handwriting do not impress us at all.The politicians who have been out foxed are not going to ever win our respect.Their radar is well below the mark of the ailment in the land.They are not the answer. It ought to be made clear to them.

It is time for the man to do something different for the sake of posterity.We urge him to dig deeper.There must be something more within.There got to be.There must be something better. At least so we expect.Relying on soldiers to resolve every problems and issue in a democratic government is so very odd.What new ideas does he bring? What brings him back to the state house and to Aso Rock? For what did he contest for the presidency three times? Certainly not the use of the military as panacea for every issue in the land.We said this was what put the young republic in trouble in 1964.The soldiers were called out over and over until they asked why they should not do the job anyway! The answer is dialogue.There is no magic wand.If this trend continues the soldiers will draw the ire of frustrated citizens.And this dispensation and the blame must not be their own.

The politicians were no helpful when soldiers were moonlighting as politicians.Why do they expect soldiers now to solve all their own problems? Matters of power do not work that way.It does not help one was an ex-soldier.The old and the new will always have differences.We know as one group age they begin to seek and question the real reason and purpose for existence.In some people this questions arise earlier than others.We urge the elites to rethink for a change. The space need to be returned to the arrangement the people agreed to in the first place.It is the solution.Nothing else will work.All the ammunition in the world will fail! Every armour and every soldier will fail and so shall every politician who ignores truth!

Still Africa's Children Are Being Wasted And Their Resources Stolen

We started this work to make a certain point. The african people can do a lot better. Sure we understand so much has gone wrong and much more still are wrong.But we have made some progress. It is suppose to encourage us. It is suppose to make us know we can succeed if we try hard enough.All the places we admire today went through the very rough patch we are on now.If one looks at the history of Europe it has been a very difficult struggle.If we are unsure we still remember the two world wars.They are very recent.Yes Europe had challenges and still has some even today.What about the United States? I do not need to start anything about the USA! We have a place that seem to beg for challenges.It does seem they are at their very best when challenged.

Imagine if the spirit at the push for independence was sustained in Africa! It sometimes does not seem as though these man were indeed our forebearers. Some of us remember them with so much thankfulness.We had leaders and men who were very happy to own one or two cars and a home. Men who were easily contented and satisfied.The rich ones among them earned their wealth by dint of hard work.They had clear occupation and pathways to their wealth. Not so today.We have a new situation since the emergency military leadership of the seventies and eighties.The men who fought for independence were replaced by a group many of whom were in office because they could.There was no clear reason or vision.Having attained power under such murky circumstances they chose to amass even more power and opulence as the way to attain relevance in soceity.

It is now hurting our communities and our people.It does seem it was all they really wanted.With the few exception of Jerry Rawlings of Ghana and Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso the rest have very suspect legacies.Worst of all they left a trail of visionless leadership. Their brand of leadership has been marked by capital flight, brain drain, political drift and increased conflicts.We must therefore find the values that led to the liberty we all lay claim to.We must again find the values that led to the access we now have.We have resources we use or misuse.We remember the self denial of the young men who fought for independence. They were leaders in their day. They deferred the pleasure of their youth to fight for the future.Our leaders after independence followed in the profile of service in our communities.Today the leaders want everything their eyes can see.Everything outside of themselves is not important.The only entity of imporatance is themselves.Their children are abroad getting quality education.Their homes have electricity and running water and everything life requires.The other people are not even entitled to very fundamental and basic things. And must not complain!

Other children are in camps as " internally displaced citizens".Even the colonialists were not this outrageously vain.Their children were here with them for the most part.Many of their children received their formative education here in nigeria.They received treatment here mostly when sick.They did not own rolls royce cars in different colors! What we see today is insane and totally vile.And must be altered at all cost.It is these behaviours that make service delivery to the people second or even third tier need.It is why in the face of attenuation in resources the leadership abandons these things which are low in the scale of priorities.In other to keep the people from uniting to find answers they spurn religious differences. If that fails they use ethnicity. It is the resort of visionless leadership and the mark of a dispensation that has run out of ideas.In the face of so much that needs to be done why spin ethnicity? Experience has shown that in the face of boundless corruption the way to divert attention is the use of these evil methods.

There are no roads.People can't access clean water for even drinking.There is no electricity.We have no schools to educate the next generation.What is evil is that most of these men went to good schools and they got their education for free.There are no hospitals.Before the petroleum boom there were not only hospitals there were health centers and dispensaries in remote areas. These afforded rural population access to health care.We have leaders who see no reason to emplace health facilities.It is the reason they will run abroad when they sense a forceful sneeze. There is no level of healthcare they can trust in their own environment. In every way it speaks of a shameful type of leadership.There are no industries.it has become too far fetched to think or even speak of such matters.We have able potential good hands being wasted by trigger happy uniformed and armed bandits. Our youths are now begging to be safe! Leadership has come that low.They are unable to guarantee safety. Our youths are doing everything to escape their own so called country.Our communities that were becoming very beautiful places are being destroyed by poor leadership.

Our goal for the space called nigeria is to call attention to the fact there are so many people trapped in the present arraangement.It is very dangerous to maintain this drift and expect it is going to become acceptable at some point.It is wishful thinking.The space has so many brilliant minds.If we are not planning to have a disaster we must respect the work of the men who were diligent.Nigeria is a negotiated space.For that we must thank the British colonialists.If there was one thing they got right it was this one.And it is very important.It was very diligent of them to persuade the nations to agree on how they will relate.If the space called nigeria will ignore a very diligent agreement that actually considered everything happening today, where will the answers come from? We can state with every certainty the work they trifle with can't be replicated.Actually their effort of 1999 amuses many of us.It glossed or outright ignores the most pertinent issues. In a document attempting to bring together different nations the issue of relationship was the least discussed.It is strange how they expect such matters to be left to the imagination.

It glossed over this huge issue and rambles through with all other matters.The people who resort to violence as the first option must show us how they intend to repair the damage they will cause.When you hurt people beyond their patience and tolerance how will they share one space with you? What about the lives being wasted? How do you repalace such sacred entities? We warn the people who will not consider these matters that they are making armed conflict a certainty. When they have no other option in an agenda of forced unity they might be tempted to use the only one possible. And that will leave no choice to the victims.Therefore we must not be killing those who complain and agitate. It is their right.It is what it means to be free. Unless we are being recolonized. If it turns out such is the new order it will not go without being challenged very strongly.What we see now are just the preamble.We call the present agitations in nigeria only habingers of what is to come if nigeria is allowed to fail completely.And with the present level of borrowing it is almost a certainty.When the real storm begins it will shake everything very hard.The people who are feeling comfortable now will understand why we ask them to act with dispatch and with circumspection.

Leadership is seeking anwers to challenges.Travelling and speeches are one thing but making the lives of the led better is the real challenge.Quite clearly we lay the blame of the african condition at the doorsteps of the soldiers who led coups.The men who chose to unpatriotically overthrow democratic governments starting a wave of constitution making.Constitution making became a mere trifle.These men have instituted the idea of leadership with no vision and no purpose.There was a cycle of men who come to power and never wished to leave.But these served nothing but expensive comic relief for mocking outside world and another spell of tyrany for citizens.Men like Idi Amin of Uganda fall into this cathegory.The excercise of power with no accountability has left africa on the present crossroads.Africa had almost two decades when resources were wasted including human capital in various ways.It was a time of leadership with neither value nor vision or purpose.It was almost without exception.

Only with little patches of exceptions of light it was an eclipse.We must put the blame where it belongs. It is how we can find our way out.And we must tell the present day politicians why their learning was a gross error and must be undone.Nigeria must either return to the negotiated soceity or accept the administrative space is an error.In which case the units may choose how best to reconfigure.Businesses fail.The nihilist mantra that nigerian unity is not negotiable is a sad statement of face saving deceit. Where is the unity? We are not able to see the unity at all.The space was set up as a business venture.If anything it has been made a bad business environment.Following even along the pattern and template provided by the colonialist affords us a working business space.Now it is not the business space neither a soceity as to be called a country nor will it ever attain nationhood.The people who fought for it put their heart into building it.They were put out.The ones who inherited it are in pursuit of an order based on presumptions and conceit. And we see their ideas as mostly unworkable.

The skirmishes for which the coup of 1966 was excused is not unusual for a young country less than one decade old.For three decades the military were stuck with the least of these same issues.They would not wait for even half a decade. What was the value of the freedom the people in the space celebrated in 1960? If they could not disagree what is the meaning of liberty? Why must their own fellow citizens be slaughtering them, burning their home for demanding a better soceity? It is time to see where this is leading. It is not peace and unity quite clearly.And it is not a good place at all.But without peace no soceity can provide for its own. No price is too high to reach an agreement acceptable to everyone in a soceity if unity and peace are the desired goals.It is how you attain peace.We are calling the nigerian politicians to stand up and act or they have made themselves all loosers. Many of the people who won democracy for nigeria from the military were martyred.The appologists will go right back and choose many of the people responsible for the situation.These men are no different now.Only difference is one group had uniforms on and the other have none.

Some people had a vision and a goal to seek change and most of them paid the supreme price.In fact they have all been eliminated.We are asking the youths to examine the truth we are revealing to them here today.It is now their cause.Today we have those who stir up religion or ethnicity in control of the soceity.We see no vision or purpose in their policy thrusts.When it suits them they will divide the people. The next time they want unity.It is all in what they want for themselves.We will remember the brave men of NADECO.One day some of us will stand up and salute their bravery and courage.Right now we have men and women who like to cash in and "cease opportunity".Like those who also "cease power" we have the same results.Otherwise how can election be the priority in nigeria today? No day passes that scores are not killed and their home burnt and their villages sacked. Who will vote in these elections? Is it not inhuman and outright wicked even evil to go to a camp to ask people to vote in their own country? Who will answer the querries as to why they are in camps in their own country? These leaders make the idea of seeking alternatives very plausible even inevitable.

Politicians From Southern Nigeria Are The Problem Of The Nigerian Politics

The bravery of the nigerian youths at Lekki gate where many of them paid the supreme sacrifice is not suppose to be an event we just throw away.And then return to business as usual.Any soceity with such atittude will go no where.Politicians are the biggest problem the IPOB have in Eastern nigeria. In their type of politics you must beg for acceptance.As though they lost the right to be in the space at any time.One is in his own space.We are not able to understand why they like to beg.And only the IPOB has this mindset. It is very sprising to the ones who have become to riding everyone in the space. So the begging politicians are frightened out of their wits.But in northern nigeria terrorist are called bandits and bandits are called herders.Politicians from southern nigeria are dying to be loved by the people of northern nigeria.But it is not going to happen. It is not a dating game. It is politics. When the people who purport to lead are unsure of what they want the soceity is going to be stagnant.Right now it is the case with nigeria.We can see what is going on.Soldiers come in and they become a political fraternity exclusive to themselves.We are seing the same thing now with the present politicians.

The politicians who ushered in independence had vision and purpose.Perhaps because they were battle fit.Today all we see from some people who have hijacked the apparatus of coercion of state in nigeria is a streak of foreign influence in which they lack coherence.They are neither Africans, nor Europeans nor are they Arabs.You might disagree with Col.Moummar Gadaffi. But the man projected his africanness over religion and over arabism. Proudly wearing his "dashiki" on every stage in the world he projected profound confidence.We know that also made him few enemies.Some people are not expected to project some type of image.We know a man like Nelson Mandela was tolerated to project confidence.After all more than half his life was already taken from him! Not that we condone violence in any way or form.However we know how it factors in the way the world operates.When we watch these people who claim to lead nigeria we see nothing reassuring.Tell me what you see! If it is just me let me know.They are so inauthentic they even disappoint themselves.When they purport religion they lack both empathy and compassion.And they therefore fail the test.They want to be europeans they lack the ability of the european to press for the result he desires.In their effort to be africans they lack authority, genuiness and the sense of brotherhood the hallmark of african community.

We urge nigerians to rise as one man and demand to be returned to the constitution that gave them a country.It is their right.Anyone opposed to it must do what the British people did in Brexit.If they fear the army and their guns they must remember they won the so called democracy from them inspite of all of that.In demanding to have a country that guarantees everyone a future they are fighting for the soldiers who have become private security guards.We urge the nigerians to get up and claim their country back.It is not nigeria when the constitution that created nigeria is abandoned.It is not nigeria when the federating units are all mere housekeepers to Abuja.Yorubaland still grows cocoa and the world still needs it.Hausaland,Tivland,Nupeland,kafanchan,kagoro, kajuru,Kabba,keffi... still grows groundnuts it is still a staple around the globe. This land produces cotton in abundance. Why are they selling poverty and death to us? Igboland and the Ijaw and Ogoni and effik.ibibio, and annang still grow palm oil and palm kernel.It is still a valued product around the world.How can we be talking about foreign exchange shortage? It is a gimmick of suppression and oppression.Our people must reconstitute their various marketing boards in the various regions.These can take in their revenues from the sales of their produce.The proceeds they can use to refurbish industries and rebuild communities.

We are going to find a way to point prosperity to our youths and give them an expectation. It is the reason they fight. If any one called government resists these things so must the people ignore such until it is made completely irrelevant and a non-factor.What these impostors have opposed are the use and reason for government.Eastern nigeria where new industries and workports were springing up like mushrooms is now full of morgues.It is now the booming business.So far the "federal" government has not found it necessary to stiffle this new Igbo business! You show young people the fact of their own mortality and so they flee nigeria.Those who can't dig in to fight.It makes sense to me. Who would not? The politics in nigeria has been so much misogyny.We recall the loot of the military president Sanni Abacha.We call it "loot". It is too much to be referred to as misappropriation.The devil will deny some things we have experienced. The devil will say "please do not accuse me of such evil.You people always accuse me, and I know I can be bad sometimes. But I can't do anything like this one!" It is the reason for the problems in soceity.It is very poor value system.It produces its own type of leadership!

Among the present crop of politicians in both the house and the senate only Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe understands that the country must have equal and powerful federating units to be called a federation.It must have leadership that is sound in reasoning to be called a republic.We want them to be the judge if they have these.Only the consitution negotiated by our brave forebearers gurantee them such.And they throw it away. We watch as they beat the air.We yawn at the vanity of the useless and baseless arguments.Where are the real issues? How can autonomous entities living on the land with resources be begging for just mere sustenance? From where will prosperty come? Are they going to conjure it with magical powers? In that constitution there is a framework for their safety and prosperity.There is a reason they are being made offers like the 1999 constitution. It is because it is inferior.The people who want the upperhand love it because it offers them that upperhand. For what reason is it accetable to them? But in declaring a sharia order without negotiating with the rest they break the spirit of the very order they themselves wish to propagate. They can't be different and propagate unity at the same time. It is called a falacy.If they wish unity the only basis is a return to the 1963 consitution.

Nigerians find themselves in a country where they mirror the south african people they helped liberate. It is now the popular saying "physician heal thyself: what we saw you do in Capernaum also do here". I wish to render the passage accurately from the Scripture...( Luke 4:23). There, Jesus is quoted as saying, "Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, "Physician, heal thyself': whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country". They fought a world power to help liberate south africa.Our present politicians can't look fulanis who only constitute less than five percent of nigeria population in the eye to demand their rights. We do not hate them, but they must be equal citizens for nigeria to claim to be a country.If the issue fails the entity is a pariah state like the old South Africa. You can never find anywhere the population of the fulanis is documented by its self.It is always the hausa/fulani.Why? The hausa are a distinct people and culture.And so are the fulani.Tell us the people who have conered the oil discovered in northern nigeria. We use the term fulani due to lack of any other way to capture the ethnic nature of these events. But it is just a few people taking what belong to the community. It is how poverty and suffering and death has been multiplied in nigeria. We have those who try to put the face of religion on these issues. Surely no religion will propergate these kind of heartlessness.Tell us who own the gold found in Zamfara.Whereas they maintain iron grip on the oil resources in southern nigeria their own is an exclusive issue.The ports in Lagos are not controlled by yorubas. I do not imagine a situation a yoruba will take control of the Kano airport.

No matter how united you make nigeria such is no possibility.If a yoruba is in a position of authority he will feel so vulnerable he can't function. He knows he is being merely tolerated.When you go to Apapa or Tin-can Island you will see the difference.We are a country are we not? So give us the intelligence report of the ones minning the gold in Zamfara and all the other places in northen nigeria exclusively. We know who sits over the oil now being taken from Anambra state for which they wish to take over the state at all cost.The governor of Anambra stet is begging to have the state classified as an oil producing state.In the south they are forced to submit their precious assets to an absurd and skewed commonweath. We also know who have hijacked NNPC which is located in the heart of eastern nigeria.

We really urge the politicians from southern nigeria to study the behaviours of the southerners who won independence from Britain. They are not people like them. They are not even able to confront much more fight the fulani.Give us the population of the hausa and that of the fulani as distinct ethnicities.Our politicians must begin to understand they are not on a jamboree.What they are sent to do is the alternative of fighting wars.Democracy is an alternative to warfare.Do they want us to explain why some of the fulani resorts to arms? Not all the fulanis benefit from the nihilism some of them propagate in nigera.When they bring in armed bandits and thugs claiming to be fulanis how helpful is it to the nigerian born fulanis? Are they intimidated? Are they unable to do the same? Who enslaved them in their own land? All the posturing have purpose and intended to intimidate. And now we have a bunch of little frightened sisies, and very timid and intimidated politicians. Only with a very few exceptions, of course!. It does seem they lack the perception.

What kind of representatives are they? Nelson Mandela and the others stood up to the powers of the world and won.So again we ask what kind of representatives are these who accept a country they are running by name alone? It is not a federation.The components are corporate beggars. It is not a republic when the learders reject reason.Forget the bogus lies of "we agreed to be together".Agreements have boundaries and limits. We find it hard to put our heads around a soceity that tends to head backwards with speed.If we were attempting to be one people then we can be called a country.The people at the helm of affairs are bust creating lethal wedges. Some are very busy looking for ways to seperate themselves as a super class. But will not hear when the people they loathe and trample want to keep their distance.You do not get a soceity that can unite in such a way.Without a common reason and cause where can anyone find unity? Some have for many years used religion as their sure wedge to empower themselves.The faultlines they have created have become chasms.Those who wish to create a soceity or country unite around a common value.So nigeria is not one soceity.And definitely and certainly not a country. The operators throw away the founding constitution like burglers who damage the door to gain access. And we can't seem to find an acceptable agreement much more unanimous consent!

Arresting And Trying The Wrong Ones


The Reason For The Assault On Eastern Nigeria And Igbolnd

The people who precipitated the war in nigeria had a goal.The goal was the extermination of the Igbo people.They chose to use a proxy.The process might have used a combination of religious and ethnic facades but we know everything come down to the economics.It would have been odd for them to come into africa to fight a war.The proxy was not aware of this and why they were a convinient front and facade.The proxy was satisfied with inflicting a mortal harm.And needed help.The other party knew it will not do.But it was all they could get at this point.Experience has thought them that the people who are determined to be free will always find a way.There was always the next time, for better or for worse.The reason was the tear away speed at which Eastern nigeria was being transformed.The region was dotted with top of the line hospitals.These hospitals were well equipped and manned by very good professionals.In Abriba, the Akahaba Hospital, The St Marys in Urua Akpan,The Queen Elizabeth, Umuahia,Uyo, Ikot Ekpene,Ogoja, Enugu,Aba, Port Harcourt, Calabar in Abakaliki..You had hospitals that will compete with any in the world.They were ran very professionally and maintained in a state that reflected universal best practices.And we are talking about in the 1950s and 1960.Now look where we are!

The things that are being attempted in nigeria now, Eastern nigeria had done and successfully completed.Eastern nigeria had a Steel rolling mill called Niger Steel.It was the source of the metal for fabrication of mechanical equpment to aid agro-based production.Eastern nigeria had gone very far in producing devices and equipments that aided rural agrculture locally and even exported what was then popularly called "Igbo made".Nigerian attempt at these things have all been collosal failures.The nigerian goverment spent tens of billions on each of Katsina,in Aladja, in Ajaokuta. They are all standing still.But no steel.On the other hand the miracle of Niger steel in Eastern nigeria was replicated in the case for small scale industries.Road consruction was going on at a phenomenal speed.The rural industrialization program of Eastern nigeria was a model.Eastern nigeria was spending close to half of its earned revenue on education.The people were building almost everything they used.They fed themselves.Eastern nigeria was on a march to the future.

We are going to keep an eye on the facts here.We want to show the world why there is an effort to obstruct and hinder the people of this area.It is what you do if you find you are unable to compete.But who wants to be in such a situation in perpetuity? The people go everywhere and succeed why must they fail in their own community?It is time for the world to do the clear and obvious.We had assumed there was enough goodwill to accomodate the differences. Clearly there is none.Rather than witness yet another annihilation the world might now quickly address what is a clear travesty and injustice.It will be helpful to allow a people to use their own resources to solve their problems.There are chances they might become part of the solution than be part of the problem.In the sixties Indonesia and such countries came to Eastern nigeria to seek advice and help.The country borrowed palm seedlings from Eastern nigeria. Presently nigeria imports vegetable oil and even palm oil from Indonesia!

I encourage both the curious and honest observer to consider the following facts:
The gap between the Eastern Region and other parts of Nigeria was too much. It led to resentment and envy

i. Between 1954 & 1964, Eastern Nigeria was described as the fastest growing economy in the world by Harvard reviews. Faster than China, Singapore and the "Asian Tigers".

ii. The Eastern govt was the only government in the world that invested 45% of its revenues in Education.

iii. The Eastern Region had the biggest Electricity Supply. Best Hospitals And The Igbos made up 60% Of Nigerian Civil Service and had the highest middle income class in proportion by far of all the regions in nigeria.

iv. The Eastern Nigeria had the highest Number of Registered Cars in Nigeria as at 1963 by a large margin.

v. The Number of Registered Business in Nigeria as at 1963 was as follows:

Eastern Region~ 68,220

Western Region ~ 5776

Northern Region~ 2407.

vi. All the progress the Eastern Nigeria made was destroyed during the Civil War that lasted only three years and they haven't recovered ever since.Many of us strongly believe the war was fought to create the present condition primarily. Many thought a war just broke out.In some quaters this was premeditated and well thought out. Today a big fraction fraction of those who participated in it against the Biafran position and argument now know differently.The policy thrust has been to deny good footing to anything that would cause meaningful growth.The very successful cement company in Nkalagu the Nigercem a brand with repute is dead.The Modern Ceramics in Umuahia produced beautiful ceramics which adorned family tables in the entire Eastern nigeria.The industry was systematically reduced to non existence.We can go on and on.But it is no use. The same has been used to kill off existing industries.The nigerian government maintains a tight grip on foreign exchange and currency to control importation of tools and materials that will aid resurgence in the region's economy.

The numbers speak a volume of truth. We use data that is concise and provable.The records are available.It is in these numbers we find the reason the people of Eastern nigeria are always at cross purposes with some in nigeria. The northern nigerian elite thrives in undermining the population to rule and control.Everytime they attempt it on these people the sparks start to fly.We give the references in case anyone is interested in the facts and the truth.Some people are not happy to see the region emerge again from the dust and the ruins.It frightens them. We urge our people to focus on what they have began.The world hopefully is paying attention this time.If not we are going to take another chance. This time determine truely protect what God has given us at all cost and by every means possible.We do so with the hope he will give us friends and genuine well wishers.For those who think they can placate their enemies we say this: to try to appease your hater is to cease to exist all together.Even that will not surfice. The enemy will desecrate the history and your own legacy.It is our job to defend our present, our future and our legacy.

WHY HAS THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT CHOSEN WAR OVER PEACE?

Another Call On The Nigerian Government To Return The Country To Its Founding Constitution

Why is nigeria still operating a constitution that ignores the hard work that went into nigotiating a country from many nations? And why is it the present group of elected politicians accept such falacy? We had thought having a mandate will spur them to act in line with the desires of the people. Instead we have something like a coup. It is not difficult now to see what some of us have been saying for over two decades.We had found in the first president in this dispensation a man who had the capacity to return nigeria to the founding constitution.But we were called names. I was sickened by the whole event.The country was free from debt and we saw a unique opportunity to make the lives of our people much better.Turning the states over to the regions would have meant we would not be in the present mess.Some self-centered people will not allow that. If our present call is again ignored as usual the country will break up.Even as we speak it will take skill to persuade those who have moved on to rethink.

Right now they are focused on the benefits the concise entities will bring. And it is very difficult to ignore such realities.Nigeria has been a nightmare as far as planning goes.We call for an immediate return to the regions.Right today even now it is the only viable option.Who will conduct a referendum in nigeria now? Yet you can't lead people against their wish.If niegrian leaders do not wish to return to the 1963 constitution they are in very big mess.If the resources were even there what about the logistics? Many parts are unreachable on account of war. If the Union will ever live again it is by returning to the 1963 constitution. Acting along such lines is the only solution now.It is a very simple but yet the only affordable cure to the nigerian problem.The constitution was well tested and still is the most popular position without question.The alternative is a violent or peaceful break up. But there is no other way to sustain the space as a country. There is danger ahead.And it is very inevitable without our proposal.It is not being pessimistic. It is being analytical and factual.Many of the youths who are on war path see that as the only option.There is nothing to offer them presently and they will not be wiped out.But must we think along such lines? Must we react like them? They have a point. That much is true.

If however there is no willingness to return to the founding constitution the stage is set for disintegration.It will mean there is a hidden agenda by the ones who already have a sharia nation.And it is a choice they made without consulting with other members of the so called one country. It is absurd how they are also the custodians of unity in a country they themselves have divided. How can a country with bi-polar behaviour expect citizens to feel reassured? And the youths are suppose to submit and surrender their future to such an entity? We understand what feeds their anger and they are absolutely right. If they did not fight they are foolish.Their reaction we all already know is no suprise to the rest of the world.The CIA and other such entities around the globe have predicted that.They predicted the present violence quite accurately. The accuracy of their predictions in other parts of the world ought to push our politicians to move in the direction of most benefit to the country and its people.Why the reluctance on their part? Knowing what our proposal will do for africa and the nigerian people it is bewildering the men whose job it is to serve the nigerians will not. It is as if the nigerian people suffered and died to install a democratic government to serve the purpose of indebting themselves and their offsprings for generations to come.Are we saying that some people are happy watching the disaster that is going on and unfolding? It is why we plead with everyone with the future of the space in mind to move with dispatch rather than plan for elections that will be a waste of resources.Return nigeria to the founding constitution or forget it. Your elections will be a waste of time.Elections if they occur at all will be a time bomb because who ever wins has a weight of digusted and agitated youths and apathy of the adults. It is recipe for another "wetie" type event.But why must the nigerian political elite be content pushing this empty barrel down the incline? It is all noise and agravation! It is action unbecoming of adults!

Let me explain what I mean.If the present group of elites are not able to comprehend the challenge of their day they are noise makers.The challenge is this that the youths have an argument that says: "We do not have a country". And it does not seem too far from the truth to so many adults too! "If we have one nobody has told us what it stands for and who are her citizens. We most certainly have no recollection of how such a country was founded. Our country does not allow us to learn our own history. And most obviously it has done nothing to ingratiate herself to us"! Our answer to them is that we do know the history.And we have the courage to share same with them.Fearless and galant men fought for a country and got one. With a little help they negotiated as many nations a constitution that accepts their differences. The constitution was shutdown by some who do not know what they were doing. Our answer to them is to let them know about a promising country wickedly attacked not by the hands that made a coups but minds that precipitated it. We had a very promising country that was mercilessly brought down by our enemies using our own misguided minds in 1966. It is the work we have done.Our political elites must show us their own work.We want the so called political elites to respond or allow nature to do the rest.We warn them however that when Nature works they will not be offered the handle. If they reject the arrangement that brings people with so much profound differences together, they are not suppose to also argue in favor of their remaining together.Such a position is a falacy.We know they have made a choice but so must the rest or else it is a dominion.

If we do the kind of thing we saw happen in Europe during Brexit it will mean we are learning to take charge of our own future.Why must others come to africa again to show us what to do? We know what should happen. Unless some people are hell bent on conflict.We require even demand better reasoning.There is a small window of opportunity to act now.But we must have a time frame.Without one it becomes one of those delay tactics the architects of underdevelopment in africa cherish.So we say this suggestion is only good for the next six months.After which it is no longer the solution.If the Middle-Belt is created and we have five regions our people are again in business.Nigeria will become the place to be once more.The people will go to work and create a future for themselves. We demand that type of outcome.It is sad leadership lack the initiative to help their own people. We all saw the amount of work that went into negotiating Brexit.Rather than do such work we always resort to war and destruction. All these people we have made bandits and criminals can use a little help.The leadership that will use them and turn them loose to become a menace is such a disgrace. And they are fighting back.Just that they are fighting the wrong enemy due to misdirection by the self-seeking elitist class.But one of these days with a little help they will get it right.Why would a fulani man go to Anambra state to fight the indegenes? The last time I checked Anambra state alone can fund an army for the entire African continent! This fact is true of most places in Southern nigeria.Why would anyone make the ordinary fulani man confront such hopeless reality? Such is not leadership.It is plain evil.

We urge the government of nigeria to do a little introspection and desist from murdering the youths who are disgruntled.What have they placed on the table as negotiation? We remind them they are dealing with the population that brought independence to africa.To pick a fight with them is to side with error and failure. The Zikist movement was an organization of mainly young people who foreswore not to marry until nigeria was independednt. And they prevailed. Those today in authority might have done the same or far worse.Unless they are reprobates. We clearly can see many are! Patriotism is much more than self enrichment! We recommend negotiation. It is why the people from Eastern Nigeria are feeling very alienated.But mostly disappointed. They spearheaded the fight to liberate nigeria.And for the most part provided the spark for african liberation. For them everything calls for dialogue and negotiation. After a long stretch of reluctance enforced by delay tactics the colonialist knew the end had come. The present colonialist are not even focused enough to forsee danger.They could not careless about lives of citizens. But the end is very near.

At least the colonial government worried about loss of lives.In that respect their government was more benevolent.If the more benevolent regime was resisted how much more this blood guilty and blood-letting crime and terror cuddling arrangement! The present nigeria has become too dangerous for the Igbo and the people of eastern nigeria.In fact even futile.It is the reason we tell those at the helm to do something now or forget nigeria.If there is no real effort and process to return the country to the agreement at its foundation, it is over already. If they reject our call it will be taken to mean the country has lost its raison d'etre. It is not a threat. We are suppose to work with reason.It stands against reason to destroy the word and spirit of an agreement and still expect the same to hold.It is not enough to amass military hardware and brute force.What builds nations are agreements.If some people work hard to force themselves upon others they will break the resolve to remain united.It is reality.

Ban On IPOB Is Base Politics

We appeal to the nigerian military to seek the opinion of the men in their midst who understand law and order.In the end it is what must prevail except we have determined to be in the hijack situation perpetually.We must understand the sense of humour in the nigerian situation. But it is not funny for us.To those who had created this amorphous entity knowing the skill levels of those involved it is a great source of amusement unfortunately.Life can be that way sometimes.Children overturn a wayfaring tortise and they are amused by it.For the unfortunate animal it is a life and death issue. In 1966 by proxy the colonialist make someone they call "Jack" head of state of nigeria.

If you do not understand what I am saying look what they are doing to his people.Do you think they have ever cared about them? I think not! It is all about concept.It is a northern nigeria where some are more north than others! Eventually they implement sharia which delineates the space.In this the fulani clearly abandons the advise of their mentors.It has been rough ever since.It rends the patch work irrepairably.Now they have declared their brand.It was what they wanted to do in 1966 but were cajoled to accept the leadership of "Jack".Look how it served them.But now they are of age.And it is not looking good for them.

It is a fact without their leadership the Fulani would never allow him to lead the country at this point. They desparately wanted to be there in control.However an ally they have come to trust advised them it was poison for them.And they heeded the counsel.And a hijack operation ensues.The population is taken and it has been a trauma ever since. Nigeria is not really a country much more a nation. They know this.It is clear to them what is needed. They have a pluralistic soceity and know how draining it can be. They know they did not create a country.What they created was an administrative space.It is not likely to become one.It is not impossible. But the men who can bring these about are not ever going to be allowed to come near.

The goal is to allow this entity to grope as it looses its resources to the kleptomaniacs and their looming masters.IPOB are a group of patriotic mostly young africans from eastern region of nigeria.Many of them are well educated.They understand their rights and know the meaning of a democracy.The present administration had pledged to be democratic.However some very feudalistic people who do not understand the difference between what they feel and reality are in the ranks.And they have affected the leader and have often made things less clear for him.The IPOB is calling for a referendum.How can it be accused of treason? Is there anyone in the administration who lack knowledge of what constitutes treason?

They send terrorists into the communities and the people try to defend themselves suddenly they are all treasonable felons! Since when did agitation for self determination become a treasonable offence? Are these men saying the United Nations which declared the charter for the rights of citizens to self determination is wrong? If so what is their understanding of the rights of the human person? So where is their alternative? It is all about what they feel? It is cheap thinking. We need to bring these people down to the land from space where they appear to reside.Who runs a country based on such rather crude line of reasoning? But it is what they have insisted upon to the dismay of everyone.

So rather than focus on having a dialogue they are pushing an agenda of rebellion.Yet they have a full rebellion and have no clue what to do with it. And here they are trying hard to precipitate some more! Suppose they get their wish? Who in his right mind will be pushing people to the edge thinking they will not react? These people have resources in northern nigeria that they have conered exclusively.And they circumscribe it with a religious boundary.And they come south to take whatever they can find.It is pertinent to tell them this quite clearly is the definition of colonialism.No matter how long and how much they pretend it will fail.The whole thing has been unmasked.Boko haram is not about education.Some youths want some action around the resources in the region.And they staked their claim and it has been more than a decade and they appear to have held their own.We all know in the end they will not be defeated in the battlefield. The soldiers know that and have given up. Neither will they defeat the other nigerians.

We alert the nigerians in four geopolitical non sharia zones that the fulani quest for the military conquest of nigeria is in full swing.Presently the nigerian military again is dispatched to four geopolitical zones in the country.It is very curious they are not sent to the two geopolitical zones that have the highest casualities from terrorism, baditry and kidnapping! The north east and the north west are not included in the military excercise.These are the sharia states.And they are the ones in turmoil and boiling hot.Boko haram and bandits have become entrenched fully in these two regions. And the country is spending billions of dollars fighting these plagues.So what do we see going on in nigeria?

We see the military being used again in such a way to cause anarchy.It happened in western region and the effects are with us.With these many coups all around west africa we want to warn that nigerians will resist any coup to the very hilt.It will fail. It will not work.And we like to alert the government of nigeria that it is bringing its self to the precipiece.The nigerian people are tired of this two countries one army notion.The game might be taken too far.We urge them to come to their senses and stop.They are not fooling anyone but themselves.So far they are the ones who have rejected the country called nigeria.They have created Arewa nation which is fully controlled by the youths and religious ideologues.

They have their laws and law enforcement paraphenelia. Where is the one country they are touting? What do they want from other people in the space? Their resources are out of reach to them. So what do they really want? When they reject the call to have a structure that can sustain a country how do they intend to manage the huge population? Is it by wasting every resource available? Is it by handing them over to other people? What is this unity they talk about? What is it? For example they do not understand restructuring when you have a federation doling out hand out to federating units? So what is the unity they talk about when they already have another nation?

If they refuse conversation about their operation there is going to be help that will end it and institute clear order in the space.Unfortunately they might be outside looking in after all is done! It is what the people have been fighting for since 1946 when the Zikist movement was formed.In the end it will be the situation in the land among the people with this same goal. They can choose to belong or not. It is up to them. The rest know what they are looking for. And they have it well in sight!

Why Are The Igbo People Expected To Be United To Produce A Head Of State For Nigeria?

We are drawn to the commentary these days that the Igbo people are not prepared to lead nigeria because they are not united.We find the idea very strange.I would have ignored these people and their penchant for selective recall of events.The O'Dua Peoples Congress would have done what people like Sunday Igboho are attempting to do today.Events then made it a very dare situation.The man who won a free and fair election had just been reduced to a common criminal and killed.The Yoruba was tired of nigeria and wanted out.OPC was the organization spearheading the move.Inspite of them the people produced a leader for nigeria.Northern nigeria produced the current leader inspite of Boko Haram.Now we hear the argument the Igbo people must all hold hands and sing "All Hail Nigeria" one million times together every day until 2023 to see if they are given the chance to lead. We find this new idea rather strange and puzzling. We do not see the worth of politics that ignores that nigeria can't survive as it is.

We told the politicians from the area.We warned them to focus on extricating themselves from a sticky situation.Nigeria can't be made to work in any meaningful way with federating units that are dependent on the center.Nigeria is not a federation in that case and every other matter is mute! The other day I read that the Kano state government has the exact same position on religious matters as the Boko Haram sect! And I was frightened by the news.And these people are talking about unity and are justling for a so called election. On reading the news I realized we are not doing enough to keep our people safe.If these men do not wake up and smell the coffee it will be too late.We are not suprised some of the nigerian people are not prepared to accept the Igbo people still.If they also ignore correcting the structure of political power in nigeria it is only a matter of time before the thing goes"kabum!" It is so clear no one needs to be preaching about it.

We Must Not Allow Another Imo State In Eastern Nigeria

Modesty demands that I desist from telling the people of Imo State I told you so! When they were throwing money around in the state urging you to sell your conscience for pile of naira that is actually worth very little we warned you to desist.Now look what they are doing to you because of it. Who would make anyone a governor if you insist against it? But they paid you as your own undertakers! We watch the development with so much sadness.It has become very necessary to warn those who can't forsee danger! It is the responsibility of a soceity and community to preserve and protect its self.It is for the same reason soceities demand self determination.Nigeria is not practicing democracy. We have gangsterism going on. In fact it is a type of hijack situation one that has lasted for decades.The gang just takes turns at reaping the harvest.If anyone is in doubt they can go and find out how many people have been murdered in Imo State.They can take a count how many lives have been lost in Eastern Nigeria since the foothold was given to those with a different way of life.

Until the people in the space determine how they wish to relate it will be very foolish for anyone to assume their safety will depend on government.It really seems there is none.It is for this reason we tell the people who are jumping from one party to another to be more careful.It is so easy to become guilty of blood and many are today! And they know it.How could those who protest the brigandage in nigeria be guilty? Are those who punish them saying the country is functioning properly? If it is not why is it a crime to say so? We have armed foreigners in the farmlands in our communities. Do they wish to starve everyone out? The government comes to citizens to weep and lament their helplessness! In some cities the so called herders burst into the city center with thousands of marauding cattle just to terrorize the population.You call that order and process? Government are in place to prevent such situations.In the whole length and breadth of eastern Nigeria this is an idea that is dead on arrival.The people are eager to build modern soceities.Cows are not part of the community and configuration.Those who will not fit might have to remain where they fit.

Youths in northern nigeria are now largely illitrates.Yet the Sadauna of Sokoto had left an imprint to develop the youth of the region without hampering anyone else. All we see now are armed, suicidal and radicalized youths. The elites there have their own children jetting around the globe.Thanks to the sterling leadership of the elites there! You know that is an irony. We cheer their wonderful work! The idea of haveing an ultra ruling class is why Europe was in turmoil for most of two centuries.And we do not envy these revisionists.We do not see these things as sustainable by any stretch. All thanks to the pretenders and the religious gurus who do not know how to nurture anyone else.Apparently they know more about heaven than about the earth where they dwell! And they push down south with their deadly ideas.How can northern nigeria not be better with a regional government?

Would it not ensure that the communities are more cohessive? Would it not ensure the resources are better and more evenly and equitably distributed? We say the people who masterminded this death trap and so called constitution are guilty of the blood of those perishing because of it.These people who are called bandits are their products.But for their evil constitution these people would have a different life today.The founders of the nigeria state had a much more sound and godly arrangement.The problem in its implementation is and was the greed so very much on display even today.We ask the players to be careful not to precipitate even more drastic reactions from their victims. They have seen bandits and terrorists. What more are they willing to see before they are willing and humble enough to reverse themselves? And they will not hear about self determination! Many of them are already guilty of blood like we said before.

No matter how tough they pretend to be the spectre hangs over them.It is regretable that the people who have taken a seperate soceity for themselves will determine for the rest how to respond.It is a very unfortunate turn of events! If you tell me that is not already a statement of class differentiation I would refuse to agree with you.It is all we wish to say about that! It is true that we live in the soceity we make.The politicians from other parts of nigeria have themselves to blame.Since they refuse to fight they deserve what they are getting! They do not see the challenge ahead.And are certainly content with their new profile.But it is all castle of sand. The type children and some adults build with sand on the beach! If these men are satisfied to be given bribes from their own heritage we would like to see some way around them. It might take some time but it will happen.Today all that is needed is leadership that will create a Middle-Belt region. It is a very present reality and much more overdue one.If this is added to the former four regions the space can move forward again.Why is there a search for a solution that stares us all in the face? Why is it so difficult to redress injustice and still there is so much clamour and noise about peace and unity? Where are these to be found?

Where will peace come from amidst so much injustice? Nigeria does not see the proceeds from the minerals from other parts of nigeria. The ports in southern nigeria are under a hijack operation.They are either closed or the owners are not aware of what happens in them! Certainly are not in control of these places. Southern farmlands are degraded and the air is polluted to provide for the lifestyle of those who keep their own resources well outside the reach of those who gladly submit theirs. They budget on barrels of oil and tariffs from the ports whose owners are kept in abeyance.It is the type of unity they want to preside over in perpetuity? It just would never work! They are not the first to try. Our past reminds us all. We all remember the events around africa prior to independence. We just have the reincarnation in nigeria. Now it is made clearer to the people.Talk about double standards! We watched as some of these men worked to stop their own person seeking a better soceity. Today he is held by their enemies.According to them he does not know how to present the case of the dehumanization of the people of Eastern Nigeria.Yet all you hear from them are appologies.And they are the victims.Now they silence him to have an election to legitimize their own bondage.It is hard to imagine such priority.And these are your leaders!

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Those who have come out to criticize the call for our people to stay out of the line of fire had no alternative method to get the attention of the world. Our youth and our people were being massacred. We watched as our people were being slaughtered mercilessly.And one of the governors was seen on television boasting.. " I will bomb Atta...!" Little did we know a governor drops bombs! How can we know? Now we want to appeal to our youths to know their voices have been heard around the earth. And it was loud and clear! The point is made.Our people deserve to go out and find food. Anyone who stands in the way for them to do so will be the one the rest of the world will call to question.Our communities were not founded for cows.Humans live in them.Anyone with a different priority is certainly in the wrong place.Now the youths have added one more weapon to their armoury filled with cellphones.We told them that fighter jets, bombers and armoured tanks do not win every battle.Sometimes Nature answers to just causes! They are heroes for rising to the call of their own day and prevail.We urge them to stand together especially now and eschew violence for its own sake. God forbids it. And Igboland forbids it too! If they aspire to defend and protect their community their aspiration is noble.

It is the leadership we usually will call out in matter of this nature and rightfully so.After all they are the ones who parade all over the place selling solutions. Usually this process is voluntary. We blame the nigeria elite for the untold suffering they are inflicting on the nigerian people.We blame them and the people who handed them over this live snake in the name of a constitution. We blame them for for the spilling of innocent blood going on now in nigeria.It seems there is an attempt to make nigerians miss what they rejected. The present level of insecurity has never been known in the space. It is not difficult to determine the reason for it.It is not religious. It is not even political. It is sponsored mischief.But we know better. And we are going to do better! We won independence from a world power! Somebody in government was quoted as calling those agitating for self-determination "terrorists". These people are asking to take responsibility for their own affairs, for their own lives. Does that make them dangerous? Why are some people opposed to such demands? The present level of mismanagement makes it absolutely necessary. If there were no such demands then we do not have a human soceity.We hear every now and again of these people going to Dubai to celebrate birthdays and funerals.Ordinarily it should not be a problem. In the present situation in the country does that give hint of sound judgement? What shall we call them? When you add that the government is borrowing to stay afloat then what are they suppose to be called? The nigerian government is borrowing to finance even recurrent expenditure.

You see why the person who refers to agitators as terrorists is missing the point? We know he hates anyone to disturb his fun. However there is work to be done.We hear of how difficult their job is.We ask which aspect of it are they refering to? Self-determination is the ability of a people to control their own destiny. The people can build roads and schools and hospitals and industries. All the things the present arrangement will prevent them to do? Why are people who demand such a reality called terrorists? What do the name callers offer? Youths perishing in the oceans around the world, youth killed by armed bandits, youths killed by government agents... The list goes on.And if we might add, these bandits other armed gangs and killers are mismanaged youths! We know a lot of them are not from within the nigerian boaders.But that is not the issue I like to discuss here. You do not call these things the reason for governnment! If you allow your competition to trick you into error but it is still your responsibility. No one entity has the desire for power.So we excercise it with a sense of duty and responsibility.The people wish to take care of their own.It is what our people fought for when they dislodged colonialism.Today we have a worse type of government in nigeria.If nigeria is not quickly returned to the former regions it will break up and pretty quickly too!

We need a new region in the middle-belt. And the other four regions need to regain full autonomy to function as economies and even civilizations that are self driven. New premiers will be techocrats who will drive a new generation to the future of their dreams. What responsible leadership should do is steer the country towards achieving true independence and harmony.In nigeria the answer is in returning the authority to the people in the places where they live. They know their own needs.Why did even a clolonial government allow the individual nations to function as they are? They were even using native authority templates without much change. We have people who will not think about answers. We just see flowing gowns and regalia of opulence. But leadership is really hardwork.The results justify the work and they are measurable. Political parties are not for having fun. They are suppose to be incubators for new ideas on the direction of soceity. Calling those who seek change names will not do.We know these people have no idea how to deal with an emergency besides calling in the military. Do they understand military people are humans? Without institutions that are very strong it is risky to be testing anyone with power. In nigeria that option was exhausted and we are thankful for that! Do your job and stop calling the military to help you! We think that is very sad.It is the reason they can proceed on vacation when the country they claim to be leading is heading down a precipiece.Nigerians fought the coup makers and won.And they are now in fighting mood once more! We are watching the politicians defecting to the ruling party shamelessly.They do not want to be in the opposition and develop an alternative even better approach and point of view.No. If the ruling party is so wonderful what are the people complaining about? Why is the soceity in so much terrible shape? They do not want to miss the fun. That is all! Shamelessly they jump around as if they have no other reason for participating than just their frivolous thirst and quest for opulence and power.

If they have a one party state with a presidency or head of state with more power than a king why not opt for a monarchy? They have failed the nigerian people. The present bout of stunts are not enough. We regret the loss of lives. They will not kill their way out of the present situation. It will not work.Such issues are settled by humans by having conversations with one another.The people who are feeling stifled are tired of it and will move to change the situation whatever it takes.We know they do not like it.But such is life.Living entities fight for their own well-being! Nigeria will never work as it is today.And those who are enjoying the carcass will not accept to take it out of the way for a new order.It is for the same reason we had a military government for nearly forty years.Soldiers who could only wait for four years for a young republic to steady its own standing were caught in their own web.After nearly forty years they could not achieve the basis they would not even allow a decade.Today the men and women nigerians suffered to place in authority have gone their own way.Perhaps because the space is remotely controlled by the same people who have caused the problems to begin with! The people they claim to lead feel abandoned. There is nothing to show for the long hold unto power. We hear the claim to have kept the country united! We ask them what is the value of their brand of unity? We are not able to see the worth and value of it.Nigeria is now nearly thorn apart by religious intolerance imposed by nihilists who do not understand the purpose of government.Nigeria is now in debt beyond words inspite of her abundant natural resources.It is so shameful the youths have lost faith in their own leaders.

There is a full rebellion in every part of nigeria. Forget that they target IPOB.It is only because IPOB is in Eastern nigeria the location of their bread-basket.Let us ignore Boko Haram which quite clearly is a youth revolt in northern nigeria.Substantially we have full rebellion manifesting in Arewa in northern nigeria, Oduduwa in western nigeria and Biafra in eastern nigeria.These groups clearly repudiate the politics and the leadership of the elites in these various parts of the country.Now this is not an argument. It is a fact! I want to be told it is not true! Yet the politicians go on vacation for nearly three months and talk about 2023 elections on emerging from their cocoon. It means they are actually not concerned about the carnage and blood letting all around the country. They would like for citizens to assume such a new normal.We encourage our youths to fight. It is their future after all.But these days fighting require the mind more than anything else.So by that I mean engage those who are ruining their present and future too. If the aim is to gain more power rather than use what is given them to work for the people then the table need to be overturned. Democracy permits that and it happens very frequently in soceities where democratic values are emplaced.

In our case we must force the issue.We need better priority and better focus.We do not see it in the group presently at the helm.They create strife to mask their indolence and incompetence.It is not true that a typical northerner is hostile to other people.The present hostility is instigated for political convinience.And it is a big shame. Neither are those in the south hostile to other nigerians.But what we have is that some people have used religion as excuse and a wedge.Even now it manifests as a kind of class distinction for lack of anything better to do.Who cares if the muslim wants sharia in his space? Nigeria has nations and everyone has their own spere and space.Every group can have what works for them.It was the idea when people came together to discuss the mode of association for the entity called nigeria.It is not nigeria and therefore not a country if that basis is not there. At the very minimum we need to return the country to where the impostors found it or we return to status quo ante. We need to be who we are for our own survival!

WE SAID

We said it is owned

Is what we said

That what we came upon was made

For that they ordered us stoned

And wished us wasted and dead

Look what we came upon they said

Our earth this home we found

We came upon a twirling spinning sphere

Floating among trillion others

Same elements uniting the geometric wonder

We by the elements joined as same

All looking spurned out by an order

From the same one "Creator"

Stunning majesty beyond words above

And here beauty made in love

The slow rolling hills and meadows

Given us on earth our home

For which we paid nothing

And we owe not a penny

So hard to think or believe

How it all came together

But then here we are

Family of men able to make

Like the Creator able also to fabricate

Spurning ideas to make things come together

As we choose to function

In our purpose and notion

Like the unfathomable Source

Which spurned the human race

And wisdom that framed it all

Or else why the earth?

Among all else we know unique overall

Made cozy as a distinct gift

Some precious thing to bequeath

Source that esteems and hold us precious

Not unlike little things we craft

Or like all else we know

Our work or the crops we sow

We said it is made

Is all we said

That gratitude is what we owe

Not graft greed and strife

Endless violence hampering life

Men who fuss and gripe

Make it even impossible for many to behold

Our gift and precious inheritance

As they claim there is a chance

We are without purpose

So then fight and fuss

By many gullible fable old

Attack them of a different mold

Their suicidal theory propose

The old big farce

Signed today June 17 2022

We were horrified by the images. But we are going to do more than speak we demand action by the world. The killing of christains by Islamists in nigeria has become a genocide.We are looking at something that has crossed the line. We are not looking at a random behaviour. It is a trend that has been getting worse and must be addressed.It is very difficult to assure the people of other faith of their safety in these type of events.We know what is being attempted here. But it will bring unintended consequences.It will not intimidate. It will embolden the people in a quest to free themselves from murderers.

We have watched the drift in nigeria that is almost synonymous with the very name nigeria.We have a drifting country that has been sustained by chance for the most part.The musicain Fela Anukulapo Kuti summed it in his "overtake don overtake overtake". Now the arrangement is about to collide with a very difficult reality.Today we have a youth that is aggrieved and incensed and hurting. They go to the university for a four year course and in eight years they are yet to graduate.Not because they are failing.But their government can't agree on wages with their teachers. It is as it they are not worth the investment in their education. After they have spent one century to earn a certificate the job does not even exist.We have youths that do not think the country cares about them. And this is the case in all the regions of nigeria today. The disenchantment is very palpable. But the drift and lack of purpose continues on the part of leadership.Be it the one in "Khaki" or "agbada". Since 1999 some people abandoned the pursuit to build a free soceity based on social justice and economic prosperity and veered into the realm of fundamentalism. Worst even religious fundamentalism. The harm they have done is very clear.We have change of guard with no change in the lives of people. If the truth must be said there has been serious retrogression.

Like we used to say in those days, same same. It was our response to martial music sigifying a coup and change of government in those days in nigeria.It is the game of grab while it hot and steaming.We all know that Dr Alex Ekwueme accepted to serve under Alhaji Shehu Shagari because he felt it was due diligence.He thought it will ingratiate him to a people who know he is not a vice president material at all.Instead of that what it earned him was a berth to the prisons. It was a disgrace and shame he lamented to his death.Nigeria had a very diligent man in Dr Alex Ekwueme. But he was also a very prgmatic and intelligent man who wanted the best for nigeria.Youths from that part of the country saw the shabby treatment he got.Chief M.K.O Abiola on his part delivered the result of uniting people outside of ethnic origin and religion. He was disgraced and murdered. Do not worry about the useless late remorse. It means nothing at all.Just facade. Mere "prend ca". Like the french would say.It is the "deceit" game in full gear and force.

We ask the people who go to eastern nigeria just to look for resources they need to shore themselves up what they think! Do they think the people are all morons? Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen was removed in a way reminiscent of what some of us experience as expertriates and immigrants. He was replaced with someone with qualifications that have no comparism by any known standards.We ask the people from eastern region preaching understanding and submission what else they wish to give.We are watching them in their effort to give away their ancestral land.Perhaps they do not remember places like Lebanon.We had a prosperous semi-western culture with christain values, a turist destination that tried to reach out to other people.Now the indegenous people are exiles around the world.They were stung by the recipients of their kind gesture. Oouch!!! We are watching the men who call themselves leaders in eastern nigeria.We are not impressed by their intellectual capacity and perception. The gravitas is very much under par.The situation is far too complicated to leave it to them.

In all their effort to try to belong they have not earned a berth to any office of meaningful significance in nigeria since the end of the civil war.It will not happen in this generation with the criminals who precipitated the crises that claimed four million lives.They know the magnitude of the problem they have caused.You earn such right by challenge and confrontation.It is very clear to them that anything can bring the images right back.We said they will do everthing to keep the lid down as long as they live.The answer is for the people concerned to chart a different part.We have said this without success to the so called leaders of the region. It is the reason the people have abandoned them to their own devices.Who wants to submit and commit his resources to sustain a so- called commonweath in which he is not even a second class? Nigeria has no place for the people of eastern nigeria. The sooner they get to thinking of their own future the better for them. In what part of the sharia north will a man from Akwa Ibom be a managing Director and chief executive of a government entity? Where will that happen? Where will a man from Izon or Calabar lead a government entity in sharia land? The answer is clear.If somebody does to you what you can't do to them, he has conquered you! I just wanted to give this analogy to clear up the minds of those who think they are smart.I think they are the problem.

What we advocate is a very strong move to keep the resources of the entity for the citizens' welfare. It belongs to them. The world at least can't approve of robbery before them all.And to use same to leaverage the safety and wellbeing of the said entity and its people. If you accept the situation as it is what are they suppose to do? Whatever is against this interest is a foe! Whoever is against it is also a foe.If anyone likes to have a conversation about the resources it must be mutual. If not the person should return when they are ready.It is what the entity will pursue or it will cease to exist.The forces that intend to have a strangle hold around the breathing channels will stiffle and choke the breath out of the whole space and destroy the people in it. It must never be allowed to happen as has been already schemed.We alerted the authorities of a large army of foot soldiers in the area "staged" as refugees.They are all around Cross River and Akwa Ibom. You ask me why a refugee from Zamfara will be moved all the way to Calabar! Every where there is a large military base you have these "refugees". And they all come from the area attempting to capture the entire nigerian space.We are watching the development and we do not see this as a move for unity.It is annexation.The same exact thing is going on in the western flank and yorubaland, albeit very subtle.Religion provides a very conducive smokescreen. Sadly the move is much more advanced in the attempt to capture the reins of authority.In the near future the people wearing the turban in yorubaland will be indistinguishable from the Obas,Baales and the Olus. and their voices, authority and lines and delineation just as murky.It is almost out of question that there a far more christains and animists in yorubaland than muslims.Some people are shouting themselves to power and authority as well.

Right now we know who calls the shots and we know from where the influence comes.We watch the development with a sense of rue. The yoruba people are very clever and cuturally aware people. But religion will ruin everything. If you ask the north africans Amazigh people they will tell you. We have a population of tens of millions of Amazigh people who are invissible in their own land.It is as if they are arabic but they are not! They are Amazigh and they are an ancient resourceful people.The set back is that when this happens the people loose their right to even exist also.If these had not been very resourceful and resilient people we might just be learning of them as some other extinct group today.Like some people in eastern nigeria or even southern nigeria they are a well organised and structured soceity.They needed nothing when a foreign religion slowly inebrieted them and overtook them.So we are telling the people of southern nigeria that if they swallow the bait of pursuing elections and such distractions when they have no country they are helping to cement their own doom.When their resources are fully in the hands of other people who pretend to be related to them it is a death sentence. The people have a belief system which empowers and encourages them to deceive.When they expect the power of conscience and matters of right and wrong it can't hold.In this situation it has not been cultivated and does not therfore exist.If the people who are controlling all the forces of coercion in nigeria refuses to negotiate a country where the rights and dignity of everyone is not in doubt then it is the time to exit the arrangement. Any one with any idea of the enormity of the work to return a place like nigeria to its feet will see the reason for the despondency in the population.It is how the present leadership is driving everyone into the embrace of the agitators. The threat of war is absurd. Our forebearers were not taken into nigeria. They are indegenous autonomous free people.

It is wrong for some people to claim that nigerians agree to be one a united country without conditions.Who enters into such an agreement that has no conditions? Such an absurdity is even a disgrace and a very indicting insult.If one is saying he has an unconditional agreement with another person it means they have such under lock and key. Any free person must require their dignity and liberty to be guaranteed without questions in any agreement.We quite clearly have a case of domination and an attempt to even colonize the south. And it is being minimized by those who receive stipends.The rest especially the youths must demand their own resources and control same.It is the only way they gurantee a good future for themselves and the people they truely love and who loves them back! Love does not exist which goes in one direction only.It is called fear! Right now in Apapa wharf and Tincan Island, in Onne, in Warri, Calabar and all around southern nigeria the youths must stake their claim to the resourses they own and determine to defend what is theirs. The communities must make it clear they are not willing to submit their right to resources to this unsettled state. The people must take the dispute of their citizenship within nigeria serious and demand urgency in the resolution.The extent they are taken serious is the extent of their influence to negotiate with those who need the resources.If they appeal and beg the people who require the resources will bypass them and go to the ones who exerts the influence and power over the resources.It must be very clear to them why a people who have no interest in their lives want to be in their communities and even control them and their resources.The sooner they remove such a spectre from around their necks the sooner they guarantee their future and that of their loved ones and offsprings.

We said it that the bandits even terrorists are working for some in power.We are not in a position to make a distinction in nigeria right now between the killers in nigeria.It is difficult today to delineate between the terrorists, armed killer herdsmen, bandits and rogue law enforcement agents.The space has been turned into a bad place. For those who oppose the attempts to turn the entire space to hell's next door neighbor it has become a hell.Some people described as bandits killed the younger brother of the journalist, human right and political activist Mr Omoyele Sowore.His run in with the law enforcement makes it hard to call this one a random bandit attack. We received the news of the death of young Felix Olajide Sowore with great shock and anger.It will not go away as one other bandit attack.This one has many ramifications that are very unacceptable.It is a kind of behaviour that will not be part of the type of community we seek.

The attempts to push the soceity back to the thirteenth century will be resisted.This one is a call to action. Those who are wishing things will change must know it will not without their action.Those who want to force on others will not usually stop when you concede.They want to go a little further all the time. Today some people in nigeria think that whatever they do must be the burden of other people.They want to force their idea of religion and manner of life on others.They want to wander around with animals in modern cities.And soceity must accomodate cattle and sheep and goats rather than think about how to make a city safe for people.They see it as a declaration of war when the larger soceity rejects these positions.WE want to tell governors and politicians in Eastern nigeria to recognize we owe our communities because communities raise citizens in Eastern nigeria.Our citizens expect it. And they question authority in such regards.

In what way is that similar to the culture of those who kill people for questioning authority? Boko Haram and insurgents are revolts.It is clear to many around the world!The leadership in these places must deal with it and not redirect It.In sending insurgents down to southern nigeria while mouthing pius religious goals these conmen are playing games.They are not being even religious. At least we know being religious is different from living a righteous life.They are being very deceitful.The leaders in Southern nigeria are mostly dilligently doing what they are suppose to with the pittance they receive from Abuja. The challenges are many for those who are mindful of these things.Politicians who do not understand mischief are in a wrong trade.Those who have wasted resources they hijacked for sixty years must blame themselves.

They must account to ones who actually carried out the hijack with their help. It is the reason for the conflict in Northern nigeria.Ordinary people have started to question some of the event and practices.Our people must be ready to stand their ground and ask the marauders to now move on. What happened in the past is called history.It is a new day! They wish to declare another war for another round of hijack.If they dare this time they might be the victim.Nature can be that odd sometimes.Invading communities is not a peaceful move.And it must be rejected and resisted no matter who is materminding or sponsoring it.It must be the message to the people who seek authority or power with no sublime vision!

In their ignorance they insist on unsustainable positions.It is a declaration of war to reject or repudiate these positions. They create unsustainable states and declare every of their hamlet a local government.But these have no meaning.Entities are self sustaining.And these are not. Not even remotely. They want to wander around modern cities with cattle. Some people are redirecting them to move attention away from themselves.We know who is declaring this war on all others in soceity.If you advise them to try to live with other people in the community they attack you as an enemy.It is a line of reasoning that has ruined a country that had potentials for greatness. You cant run blindfolded.The people who did this must know they are responsible for what the environment will become for them. No soceity will accept or tolerate murderers in their midst.

Other people in the space have a right to respond to their choice and use of violent methods.What Mr. Omoyele Sowore and many of us have been advocating is a soceity that protects its own citizens and provides the environment for them to thrive.The lack of movement in the direction of reason is why the call for a return to regional autonomy has carried the day.At least each group can account for their own choices to themselves.Using other people to excuse lack of compassion is an old evil.Some people are so confused it is sad! We keep saying that those who are behind these extreme actions really are working against nigerian interests.They are working to destroy nigeria.But the government focuses on deepening the hurt of the victims. It begs the question whether those who mouth unity are sincere. As they attack sources of light darkness will overtake them first.

I wanted to wait for a confirmation that IPOB members were arrested in Ghana.I like however to understand the circumstances.IPOB operates everywhere in the world.The motive of the nigerian government is something we all know about them. The nigerian government hates this entity and has tried everything and every method to drag them into the swamp.In nigeria rogue law enforcement agents are like crocs and these might become meals.Thiese members of the law enforcement are morelikely to kill a citizen than a foreign terrorist or bandit.Terrorist stand a better chance with the nigerian government than those who advocate for self government.Even the British Colonialists were not that harsh with those who fought for the independence of either Ghana or Nigeria.But here we are!

We have a federal government that has confiscated the assets of all the regions. And now own every asset of the federation. A very odd prospect which these people love to death! To sustain the reality they sponsor terrorism. It is the reality presently in nigeria.In fact the government has not actually branded these entities as terrorists. We find no documents in nigeria that has done so. We do not have any such evidence. Members of the government and agents of government continue to criticize the military for fighting these entities.The government sees the IPOB members as criminals.However the same government will not fight terrorists who are killing christains and taking over their homelands.The government has allowed armed herdsmen to act as foot soldiers to marauders and bandits as they ravege the entire nigerian space.Entire villages are sacked and burnt down.

Women are raped and killed with their children.Many of these people are christains. The IPOB is the only true opposition to this wave of injustice. The government of nigeria brands them terrorists.It has never referenced those who have killed in the millions as such. The nigerian government has not as of yet declared Boko haram terrorist. Neither has it the herdsmen or bandits. But the whole world have their own view of these entities. In the world today these entities occupy the top lines of the terror index.What the african people are fighting for is not this kind of nepotic overflow.It is a motive deriving from lack of understanding of democratic tenets and need for free atmosphere for ideas. The present nigerian government has a problem with understanding the way law and order works.They tend to think their word and desire is the law.We know these people threw away the founding constitution of nigeria.It is the document they vowed to uphold as soldiers.Without this their patriotism is not just suspect it is false.For more then thirty years they reject the order of the agreement that creates the nigerian state.They hijack the state and run it as they please and choose. And they produce their own document on exit.It has been a nightmare for the country.

Having thrown some light to the shadows, we would like to know the reason anyone in Ghana will arrest members of the IPOB. We must detache sentiments of the nigerian government from reality. Some of us have appealed to the group to no avail.They tend to act without considering effect and consequences.It is the suprise and jolt with which they attack reactions to their unreasoned actions that makes clear these were never considered. We all hurt.We are all made of flesh and blood.Some people have been killing fellow citizens for over twelve years without relenting.We recognize that many people are not very coversant with history.If they were a lot of mistakes they make will never arise.Ghana is presently led by a man we repose implicit confidence in his sense of history. And we recognize his understanding of the emerging cultural shift in africa and our region of West Africa.He understands the rise of extreme religious fundamentalism in nigeria and how anti-social and anti development such is.We know he sympathises with the victims as fellow africans and as neighbors.Nigeria is neighbors with Ghana but so are the individual component entities making up nigeria. If and when the head is sick the components take on new responsibility.Without question the introduction of sharia in part of northern nigeria has become yet another national nightmare.

On the part of the victims there is a decision to challenge the evil now.In the event that appeals have failed there is no other recourse. We must check the menace now or else the african free trade and other measure to enrich the lives of our people is already derailed before it begins.The members of IPOB are discplined and mostly hardworking and law abiding people of Eastern Nigeria origin! Eastern nigeria is the home of the movement that freed africa from colonization.We want to remember the wonderful collaboration between the father of modern Ghana Dr. Kwame Nkurumah and his brother, friend and mentor Dr Azikiwe. In an interview Dr.Nnamdi Azikiwe details how he advised his friend and brother to attend the same college he had graduated from in the United States.The land of Ghana and Dr Nkurumah shelterd the african philosopher and nationalist in turn. It is how mutual relationships bless and enrich. For great minds a very keen sense of times and the future is very important.We commend IPOB to the authorities in Ghana and plead with them to see to it that the people are no longer molested.Good neighborliness does not include careless actions and acquissance.We know some people have reach but so have we too! The many years we have appealed to those at the helm to act on some of the most over-aching issues has convinced us that the will to co-exist as equal partners is not there. They can't even be coralled to this reality. It simply does not exist in their mindset.Eastern region of nigeria is a nation of peoples and a civilization known to the world.It will not be subsumed in a setting where it has no say.It is impossible!

I would love to appeal to the leadership of the ever resourceful people of Ghana to put on their inner man. It is not difficult to see the present mode of attack against the collective yearnings of our people through an old frontier called religion. In this frontier neither compassion nor reason is necessary.And without these there is no progress.In the frontier you account to only yourself when you are presumed to be a god. All you do is blame the other side.We must take responsibility for our actions and be ready to account for them. We must take responsibility for our own present and future.The British people did not wish to continue in the European Union.And they did not wait.They took action.The British government is a complex arrangement which marries a modern monarchy and a democratic arrangement that works well for the people.It is an evolution for which the soceity has paid its dues.So the people refused experiments that tampers with that which works for them.Boris Johnson and Nigel farage ride their understanding of this sentiment to power and popularity.They demand referendum and get it.Boris Johnson becomes a prime minister and Nigel Farage goes from obscurity to a notable political personality.

In africa and nigeria the people who ask for referendum are killed.On 30 May 2016 in Nkpor in Anambra State one thousand three hundred youths were shot dead in a stream of blood letting lasting days. These were the members of the largely youth movement in Eastern nigeria, the IPOB.This is repeated and is still on going.The leader of IPOB is in Jail. One of the charges against him is treason! He is asking for a referendum! Just one year after General Buharis government came to power a massacre happens in Igboland! For some reason Buhari has been present every where Igbo people have suffered severe hurt.Something is wrong.He either hates the Igbos very much or there is some terrible form of coincidence that leads to this reality.Three consecutive events are no longer coincidences. It entails some mastermind.It is the reason some of us look at the Igbos who surround him and give him credibility as his enablers. They are as culpable.Nigeria is not in the best place under their leadership. That much is clear.Killing and massacre of citizens will not make it better.Leadership includes how we negotiate difficult situations.Choosing violence and totalitarian approaches in a democracy is a great aberation.It will never commend them to decent minds. Some of us have tried to help this government to avoid these pitfalls.However the affinity for the religious facades and old stunts appear to be the preference. And it often leads to the same bad place the government now finds itself.

Nigeria is now one of the poorest countries in the world. It is also seen as a terrorist haven! Who would have imagined that? It is what bad leadership can do. The least other people can do is raise and lift a standard and bulwark to defend and protect their own interests.IPOB is a group we commend under the circumstances in nigeria.We ask they are allowed to live in our own dear neighboring Ghana free of any further molestations. The writer has been to Ghana. It was a matter of inspiration in the days when the Ghananians were rebuilding with grim determination in 1994.In those days neighborhoods were armed as a matter of deliberate policy and principle.The government made this policy when it became clear some people wanted to exploit the fragile atmosphere to suit their own evil motives. Good leadership must be tough enough to make the difficult choices. In the case of your great nation the tough choice was not just made but was embraced! We rejoice with the people as the soceity they imagined is blosooming today.Our people have been and will always be great friends and partners of the wonderful and ever industrous people of Ghana.We thank the government and the people in appreciation of their anticipated kindness.
Our people Are Hurting

We are being treated to the secret military consolidation and buildup going on in Eastern Nigeria.The nigerian government under president Buhari has chosen war and conquest over dialogue.Even if the other presidents had used the promise of dialogue to buy time it shows it is the only way to a real solution.The present administration has chosen kinetics. It has proved very unhelpful and it has destroyed the country and they do not have the good sense to change course.We see the military build up in Eastern nigeria while terrorists are on the march to Abuja.We see the build up in an area that is peaceful. Northern nigeria is a killing field and the government has either no answer or is an accomplice.We demand to know why the nigerian so-called leaders think everyone wants to belong to a country with the type of reputation they have now given to nigeria.Do they think that a typical Igbo who goes to the end of the earth to do business and learn will like to be called a person from a terrorist country? How helpful is that?

We like to make matters clear.Some people act as though their actions bear no consequences.They chose to join the organization of Islamic countries (OIC)against sound judgement and advice. On its own it would be all right.But the country is constitutionally and structurally secular.We watched as they sidelined every reason and caution.Nigerians are on the balance too peaceful and that could be a bad thing when some people like to play spoilers.Britain left the European Union because it wanted to retain the values that matter to the people.But they first tried the union. Elements in Northern nigeria would have liked to head the European union rather than opt to leave. These people declared sharia in twelve states without even a conversation with the rest of the country. Next thing they cease every organ of government including all arms of the military and para-military.And they preach unity!

They chose to introduce sharia law in their space. If their youths take a cue from them and kick it up one notch or two, why must other people be part of victims of the fall out? Were the other stakeholders ever consulted in all of this? The country woke up one day and a large part had become totally islamized! If they feel threatened is it unjustified? Now every place is burning and people are getting killed for sport and they are to accept such a life style? We show you why their claim of unity rings empty and very hollow indeed to many of us. They are very empty posturing with no value and no meaning. They need the resources of the other people.It is all they are thinking about.They have their dream Islamic nation! It is the reason they want to use force.It is what is known as colonialism.The other people must examine all their options. It needs no soothsayer to make anyone see this truth.It is a pity they are fooled by the distraction about amnesty and surrender by a few people who claim to be Boko Haram. We are not fooled nor are we comforted by it.We know the hard core members of the sect are very unrepentant. We saw them celebrating Afaganistan Taliban victory vowing to repeat the success in africa.Did the nigerian government see it? Why is the government more concerned with oil? We know it is the reason why the focus is on Eastern nigeria. We want to remind them of Zimbabwe, South africa, Mozambique, Angola etc.

When the people reject an order a strong army is never enough.Never has been.Never will be. Nigerian army as of yet is not strong enough to compare with the army of the Imperial Great Britain. When Britain left nigeria it was in the interest of the British people. We know among the people who peddle unrefined feudalism in nigeria the destiny and destination is the unheaval in Europe in the past few centuries. Our people have moved past all those things in terms of culture.What they are peddling is medieval feudalism. It is crude. It was always rejected.In many situations with very violent revolutions. Our soceity is strictly democratic and republican. No reasonable person can see unity here that is not negotiated at all.It is very impossible! If they back away from the one negotiated with the help of Great Britain chances are the new generation will not want any at all. As can be seen they want nothing to do with the endless mayhem and chaos.It is the reason we advise the people giving them ammunition to think about the future.

All over the world we have people who have ideas that they think are new, but actually are weather beaten. Just that they are unaware.Nature has answer for injustice and it has timeline and an expiry date.The nigerian government might be best advised that it will not survive in Eastern nigeria if the people reject the nigerian project.It is reality and life.It is not possible for them to use force to maintain a country that is so very different from the culture of the people.It is impossible.This many years of illusions will already convince a good mind. The nigerian government is either tone deaf to believe Boko Haram surrender or it is in denial.Nigeria has a structural problem. If the collapse occurs it can't be said to be sudden. Why is the nigerian government preparing to fight another war in nigeria? We hear they wish to conduct election in 2023.Are they preparing for war or an election? It is somewhat confusing! If they want to know what will happen in nigeria let them take a look at Ethiopia.

Politicians are focused on angling for office while their homelands are being taken over.The nigerian army will never be able to dislodge the Eastern Security Network in Eastern Nigeria. It is the homeland of the Igbo people worldwide. And they are over one hundred million people today from around the globe who lay claim to Igbo heriatage. They can't give their land up to a people who do not even need it.All the guise to plant anarchy among a peaceful people will be rejected and repelled.Eastern region can't donate land for cattle when citizens can't afford land! It is a priority from hell and foolish as it sounds.It is impossible.If they force a battle today in time it will be very devastating for those who are now the aggressors.It will have no end.But they have no idea yet! It is a pity they do not know what they are meddling with.ESN is a creation of the people of Eastern Nigeria and their kit and kins from around the world. And it is the only legitimate organization the people of Eastern nigerian have instituted as an entity to secure the community.

It is not Mr Nnamdi Kanu's army.Like some mischief makers claim. As a sovereign peopole who have come under threat the people have a right to self defence. Even the faulty constitution empowers citizens to defend themselves and others.So does the United Nations charter on personal freedoms and rights.It is a reality that will become clearer to those who now think they are invincible.The political elites whom they seem to have in their pockets know this truth.Otherwise they will be terrified by the notion of the risk engulfing them. Aiming to choke them suddenly.Eastern security Network is not an entity the present nigerian government will be fighting now if they were sincere. There are terrorisst all over nigeria.They are killing and maiming. Why is the nigerian government unperturbed about that? Their complicity in the ungoing situation is why the people of Eastern nigeria will ensure the ESN survives at least past this administration.

It will boast volunteers in the millions if need be! ESN will boast more volunteers than the nigerian army today if the call is made! However there is only one reason there is now ESN. The reason is that a people who have been massacred before are again under threat and at the cusp of yet an impending slaughter.Reasonable people are not suppose to just watch such occur.The people have a right to protect their commonwealth. It is a sovereign estate of the people of the region. Why is HISBAH not a problem? Can the nigerian government ask the yoruba to disband AMOTEKUN? We have heard of the many armoured tanks being sent to Imo State.Eastern Security Network will survive and flourish by the grace of God.And those who wish to protect the community must use this channel.It has legiticacy anchored on the sovereignty of the peoples of Eastern nigeria.We do not wish to have disorder like our friends from up there. What is the alternative for our people? We have a reality of the nigerian military aiding bandits and terrorists and murderers. We watched the man installed by the grand Khadi whose first order of business in Imo State was to install an imam in Owerri.Who actually believes that is a reality the people of the area can live with? If any of the military governors in Eastern nigeria tried that even immediately after the war the entire world will rebuke such action. Our advice to those who lead agitations like the IPOB while the leader is incacerated is to be strong. In his absence many problems will arise.

The Igbo people have a saying that "the countenance of the warrior blunts a sharp sword". Now they can find out who is a real disciple of the cause. It is part of a learning experience. The cause they are part of is the vehicle that will liberate the people as God has purposed.We know Mr. Nnamdi Kanu will walk away from captivity a free man. He has done nothing wrong.The attempt to frame him does not make him guilty.It is only in a kangaroo court that he will be convicted of a crime.And the world will not permit such a court to try him.They know it will turn the whole space into an arena and they are not ready for that.After all we are aware they are all dancing to pipers and are not their own.The people who manage nigeria today are men with price tags.They know those who desire to be free are legitimate.The Igbo people are very independent people and that Is not going to change.Their sense of liberty is tied to their faith in the GOD of creation.The ONE who owns all creation.It is how they live.

If Ukpabi Asika (an Administrator in East central state at the end of the nigerian civil war) tried such a thing he would have been resisted by the people.He understood that fact being smarter than the acolyte in the present Imo state saga.Actually Ukpabi Asika prided himself as an intellectual and a proud Igbo man. He just reasoned differently.When he collided with Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe immediately after the war it made clear the saying of the Swahili parlance that "man pass man".It is another matter when someone's position defies reason.We have an acolyte in the government house in Owerri and that is the problem.Today a man who claims to represent the people is happy to impose a very rude aberration. He calls the military over and over.And he knows what they will do on arrival! We had warned the people to fight when it was easier for them to shake off this death knell.Sadly money and promise of money got them all messed up! Now their children are being massacred and they just sing and cry. Someone they know does not represent their interest is "ruling" them. It is how they sold their rights to democratic dividend like peace and progress.However, it is still their fight.If they refuse to fight they will die in the manner their enemies have chosen and adopted.The nigerian army will invade Igboland and Eastern nigeria from Owerri and claim instability and unleash another massacre and genocide.The triggerman is in the government house in Owerri.

African Renaissance.

                 The african people have been victims but it is not the reason for the level of underdevelopment.Life is a challenge and very often does not seem to have a measure for weighing fairness.What that means is that as we face our own challenge that we confront it as without seeking excuses.The african continent will do a lot better if there are no outside hands interfering.However nobody can afford us such guarantees.There will be interferences.But good leaders will find the best approach that delivers result inspite of these problems.Quite clearly a good leader might not achieve all he set but he will achieve reasonable success.Usually it is all the people need.We lack minds have set some goals and have such as reasons to seek power other than the priviledges. We do not have such in the african political space.When they happen it is accidental.Many are not in it to serve anyone but themselves.In africa we have a people who have been and are being vandalized by outsiders now being raped by their own leaders! In nigeria the leaders are neither interested in agreements nor consensus building. What we have is the description and definition of feudalism or monarchy. It leaves no room for accountability. It is one of the reasons corruption is rampant.It is not how democracy works.Many of us are worried democracy might be on very unsure footing in the space if these facts do not change quickly.

The ground is being made suitable for planting dictatorship rather than sustaining a democracy.The unfolding events should alarm any careful observer. And some of the worst culprits are parading as leaders and peace makers! We worry these are signs of both atrophy and dystrophy. If the cause of an ailment is what is on the menu it is not good. Look at nigeria going to pieces before our very eyes! Tell them to return the country they hijacked.Nigeria was working well for a very young democracy.The coup was instigated by the enemies of the young country.We have an idea those who feared the competition of such a seemingly efficient well endowed country.They abound even among those posing as well wishers and patrons. The world must tell those in leadership in nigeria to think nigeria first.It seems they have their eyes on their many benefactors instead.Nigeria must return to what was agreed or disintegrate. It is the minimum that brings the voices of dissent to the table.Only then can we speak of peace. There are too many problems that are not being addressed by the present structure.Such is not an accident.It has no capacity to address such problems.These are the issues raising the many voices of agitation.Killing and arresting personanities will not solve the problem.The problems require solution unless the goal is to kill everyone! The countries that supply weapons to the nigerian state know and understand they have aided the senseless massacre of citizens. On our part in Eastern Nigeria there is no intention of repeating 1966- 1970. Violence is not our choice.The relationship is not a creation of GOD.The organic nations still exist and have recourse.We have a right of natural choice.It puts us on the moral high ground. The world has grown and so have we!! We call the attention of fair minded people from around the world to arbitrate and settle this never ending injustice that has already claimed nearly five miilion lives! The ever unfolding tragedy made worse now by religious bigotry, rapacious nepotism and ethnicism is called NIGERIA!

We hear the word "presidency" used very often by the group running the affairs of nigeria.The word has come to represent competing ideas and feuding idealogues.The first lady of nigeria shouted herself hoarse and has since resigned herself to the situation.The men who are no more than squatters in Aso Rock are responsible for the lack of motion in the affairs of the country.It is very true many of them are just acolytes having not held any responsible positions before. Suddenly they are running a country of two hundred million people.It is not a very healthy jump.And the nigerian people are paying for it.If nigeria is to survive these people must be shoved to the side.They cover for their incompetence by pretending religious zealotry. We all remember Dr. General and Chief Idi Amin. He was a religious zealot too! We must now help give voice to what the nigerian first lady has been saying for so many years. She has been more than vindicated.In the end only one person will be held accountable. And we know who it is.

They are like horses pulling in different directions.It is not strange they come out with positions that ridicule the office of the president.In their tussle they make the lives of the people unlivable.In doing so they forget they impugn themselves as well.Many times they allow matters from the so called presidency that are very pedestrian. How could the president be said to be asking for the review of the law concerning grazing routes? For many who might not understand the grazing route issue was a contention that was worked out during colonial times.It allowed those who reared cattle to use certain marked routes in grazing their cattle around the country.How would anyone be seeking such as a template to solve the problem today.First and foremost is that animal husbandry is a personal enterprise. Nigerian leaders will not be able to undertake such lavish attention on one area of endaveour. What will happen to the very many others? Many nigerians are doing various things in the area of supporting themselves.Cattle breeders are no different!

If we might consider facts here in a diversion a little bit.Cattle heads and count has increased exponentially.Also more importantly the population of nigeria at the time was less than forty million.Today nigeria is a country of more than two hundred million people.The land size is still the same.If anything it is less.Bakassi peninsula was ceded away recently. There is desert encroachment which has further reduced the land size.We have those in authority going back to seek answers. Clearly it portrays inability to solve problems. It is called lack of capacity. Again this makes clear what we have been saying. They are not able to imagine a state where everyone is under the law.It is clear the people in government have problems with the law.They hate being subject to it.It is therefore troubling that in a country in which power over land is vested in the state governments the federal government wishes to appear to seek to cause a breach.In seeking to interfere in such a manner the federal government is hinting on nepotism and importantly disrespect for the rule of law. So how are they going to be the enforcer if they do not obey the law themselves?

What is the meaning of their frequent talk about unity? Do they mean to say they are a masterclass and others their subjects? We see how they try to demonize IPOB and other groups who demand equity.If they hate those who come out in the open, the ones in the shadows will blind-side them. If you sponsor murderers in communities to intimidate them and take over their resources it will result in agitations.And that is the notion fueling the prevailing atmosphere in nigeria.If Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho are quiet others will take their place quickly.How can a government be more worried about a handful of cattle herders than millions of nigerians who require land for other very productive activities in the state? It is the governments' responsibility and the governor must see that resources are deployed in such a way to benefit more people. It is his charge and responsibility in a democratic government. The people who went to the president to canvass this position are his enemies in real terms.It is what his wife has been saying. They might seem to love him but they do not.If this were to be a military government these are going to be the coup leaders! Now all they can do is make him look bad from time to time.We know some do not have a sound mind.And it is just putting the matter mildly.

We would like to appeal to the government of Nigeria to realize it has a very different problem today than three years ago.If they mistreat the man in their custody there will be a very big problem.It is serious statement of facts. The man has followers and his words animate them.In the last twenty five years some of us have advocated for nigeria to return to the founding constitution to no avail.On my part I have done so with all zeal and using every method I can possibly find. We were accused of trying to prolong the tenure of a government at some point.Today we watch the country slide further and further into poverty, and now anarchy.Rather than seek solutions to the problem of unity the actions of the people in authority only tend or even aim to accentuate the differences.If it were not so why were the politicians from Northern nigeria eager to emplace sharia law in a secular state? Even if they claim it is their right the question is do they find it expedient under present circumstances?

Would it not have been better for them to agree with the rest? If the answer is yes then the next question would be: Are they prepared to allow other segments of soceity to pursue what they consider important to them? Until they resolve these issues within them there is not a country yet. We are all in one big refugee camp! The Indegenous People of Biafra (IPOB) had come out asking for autonomy for the region and self government.The style of their leader might not be appealing to most. However he is beloved among the group without a question. Besides the man is out on a protest.He is not on a picnic.He is looking for results.He is a man with a sense of the limitations of time. Many of us worry that there is a love for subservience and it makes every assertive kind of voice one of dissent and a rebellion.We like with all due respect to cite the muslim cleric Alhaji El Zakzaky and his group. With all due respect this group has the most educated and accomplished men among the entire muslim groups in Northern nigeria.The youngmen and women in the group are literate and erudite. Within government circles they are maligned and are seen as a scourge.We are not able to understand the value system or method of assesment in play with the leadership in nigeria. I know some people hate to hear the word Biafra.However the name "Oduduwa" has been the uniting name for the people of Western nigeria. Same as Arewa is for those from Northern nigeria. We have "ODUA" investment corporations. It is an entity worth billions of dollars. The same goes for AREWA Group. These are all sources by which the people could prosecute any project of common interest. Eastern region has no such entity.

Biafra is a way to advocate for the unity of Eastern nigeria. We believe it is a welcome idea. The name Arewa lights up the countenance of the average man from Northern nigeria.Oduduwa does same for the man from Western nigeria. How come Eastern nigeria is the only place that must be shredded to pieces? Why does it seem that the Ijebu and Egba can unite but the Ibibio and Ibo cannot? The kanuri and Nupe are the same people but the Effik and Ibo, the Ibo and Ogoni are enemies? The IPOB group raise serious and necessary issues.It is a demand to return nigeria to it founding principles or allow everyone to pursue their own interest.Who are the ones who are trying to hold unto some people against their own self interest? We therefore want nigerians to take a very good look at the position the group in IPOB holds.It is a demand based on reason.I would consider that is what we had been advocating for decades without success.Are they saying we have been under the clouds of treasonable crimes? Where do they derive such laws from? We find no laws in the world that can support their position.It would not seem as if that was the agreement that founded nigeria. But it is.Nigeria was founded as a federation. It means it is founded on the assumption there are fundamental differences in manner of life and even culture. The assumtion is that these differences are significant enough to be acknowledged and respected. And such are the under-pinning values upon which the federation of nigeria were founded.Patriotism is to allow the spirit of these facts to control our actions.So upon what is this their patriotism and love for nigeria based? And they display a penchant for disdain for other people and their values? Who do they want to be in this kingdom they have founded in their own heads?

The core north where sharia has been established is feudalistic.Yorubaland is monarchical.It is the land of the Oba.Igboland and Eastern nigeria is republican and operates a pure democracy with a ceremonial leader.How can anyone want to have a soceity here with no agreements? Quite clearly these are very different people. Whose values will be overridden? Who will allow his own value to be subsumed in another among these people? Incidently in southern nigeria are very old tribes and civilizations.When some boast about their patriotism, are they talking about nepotism, tribalism or ethnicism? Patriotism assumes a national value system acceptable to all in the country.We have no such in nigeria today. The ones who claim patriotism will not allow for any such to be emplaced.It begins with an acceptable agreement to be one united country. They declare sharia and say peace and unity is not negotiable. Look how it rings so hollow! So what is this their patriotic zeal? Are they talking about muslim fundmentalism? If not them what is it? Is it a patriotism based on falacy and fiction? How is it a crime to ask for a situation that represents an agreement? Now some people have to beg for what should be their right while the others enjoy the right without hindrance.

IPOB came out demanding or actually requesting a referendum.Eastern region has millions of graduates with no job.The opportunities are just not there. It is now the reality that youths on Eastern nigeria must migrate in search of a better life.Yet they create their own future everywhere they go. They mostly create the jobs for themselves.Industries in the region are dying out due to lack of foreign exchange to refurbish machinery.Most industries in Eastern Region set up at the same time with most that are major earners in other regions are all dead. They were not mismanaged.They were simply destroyed using very unfriendly policy initiatives.The same reason the government hold down the economy by the stranglehold of a constitution that protects every resource for the rich.Nigeria a supposed federations gathers every resource at the center where it is stolen and pillaged by expert thieves who have become highly practiced in the act.In other to cover their act they breed thugs who metemorphose to bandits and terrorists.At a very personal level it is hard to accept the narative of hatred from the political class.It is a position that helps their agenda of exploitation as much as the divide and rule principle helps some corporate administrators with primodial instincts. We know how the problem grew worse from these unpatriotic vices. IPOB and their leader had only protested and argued for a more equitable nigeria. But they argue that leaving nigeria was an option if the forces are determined to keep it in in the present ruinious stranglehold.It is a natural and very organic position.

Before IPOB and other agitations we had begged the people with the reins of power to allow an atmosphere that will promote productivity and growth.We have spoken into the silence of organized criminality.When the IPOB and others came along we knew it was a sign of angst and dispondency.It is what causes protests. We have youths who do not have jobs.Their parents who work are owed in some cases up to eight months of wages and salaries.Some state governments owe the pensioneers arears of their monthly stipends in some cases in excess of six months. Imagine such callousness! It is worth protesting against such an inhumane administrative regiment.They were peaceful and determined to remain peaceful.But some people determined it was needful to shed their blood.And many of them were slaughtered. Nobody should pretend the world does not know the truth.Every intelligence agency in the world has videographic,photographic and every evidence necessary to prove a case.The nigerian government is not going to convince anyone by lying that it never killed these kids.The world has a very clear evidence of what happened.Their leader shows up and they arrest him and throw him into jail and clamp jarring charges against him.

His followers were killed but he get charged for every manner of crime. All of that for demanding to return nigeria to its founding constitution and structure.We want to express to the government to understand they have an opportunity to save nigeria if they want a country.However it must be on the foundations that was strong and able to sustain the many nations within it.If not it will be a waste of time to continue a witch hunt and a nepotic cleansing.The people in question are more than a hundred million tucked away in every remote part of the world.And they remain loyal to their own origins.It is hard to wipe them out. God ensured that reality.They will not take their own nation and kidnap the rest and hold them hostage. It will lead to a bad place.They might have Nnamdi Kanu under arrest but there are millions of nigerians who feel exactly like him.To such he is a necessary voice. Should they determine to silence him what might replace him could be far less friendly.If they mishandle the situation they would have facilitated what they seem to dread so much.

But again it might be their wish and they prefer the horror theatre that leads to an eventuality they actually desire.I dare not claim to know why Mazi Nnamdi Kalu allowed this to be the case.My observation of him shows me a very instinctive and godly man.I would not try to guess why he would want to be tried by those who attemted to murder him so recently. I would however say I would have done exactly the same thing he has done under the present set of circumstances.Now it is up to the nigerians to show solidarity with the cause he embodies and represent.If not accept their perpetual servitude and shut up.There is no adult who would not understand why armed men are being positioned close to where they live and find their food. There is a plan afoot to destroy them as a people.Some of us students of nigerian contemporary history can see the attempt to position some people as alternate leaders and guardians.An act that is the last step before a system is fully overtaken.

After all for what reason were they ferrying all these armed bandits to the area? Was it to participate in a disco party? We say this because the insecurity in Eastern Nigeria appear to have the hand of those in authority.The citizens of the region created the Eastern Security Network when the governors could not help. We saw homes being burnt and villages being sacked. We were not to allow a region known for the peace within it turned into death zone.As we watch the agencies of government murder our youths we bleed with them. And we all hurt. We hear the accusation the IPOB leader created the ESN. Perhaps somebody does not understand the people of this area. It is impossible for Nnamdi Kanu to create ESN by himself. The people find him credible. The authoriries might not like him.But the people think he is sincere about his goals.The ESN is a volunteer group of citizens who want to keep their region safe.In the face of the present circumstances they remain very relevant.It is not possible that they would be the ones distabilizing the space they were suppose to keep safe.It is hard to believe. It is even absurd.We refer to the claim in Vanguard newspaper of January 23 2021 in which the herdsmen threatened "we will kill all the police men in Edo state ....". We know they do not joke.

When they make threats they go through with it.Edo state witnessed the mass influx shown even on international media during the election there.Now all those people are in the state. The central government uses staggered state elections to detabilize nigeria. It pick off one at a time.Next on their rader now is Anambra state. So ESN is not responsible for the violence and are not the unknown gunmen.The nigerian government must have the explaination.We heard the governors accuse other political actors.We take that to be a more accurate narative.The people of the space resident around the face of the earth will not allow their way of life to be influenced. Not especially by a culture that is very On the whole disimilar.We ask for reasonable cause of action.I know it is a very high thing to seek reason these days.However without it everything will be ruined and shall be in ruins.In a world where predators abound by the bunch any mistake is the doom of millions of people in the space. We know that destruction in africa is more than a delight in some places.And we are talking about a major catastrophic event.It is what happens when humans abandon reason.Heavens forbid!

We watch the shameless misguided action of the nigerian military officers who are vandalizing and killing in Eastern nigeria. Who declared a war in the nigerian state? But the nigeria military is out in combat gear killing citizens with no authorization by any law. What is the military somebodys bodyguard or personal security outfit? Displaying the capture of Igbo youths in Igboland where there are now foreign terrorists and bandits roaming free is disingenius.It is the most pointed sign of the imminent demise of nigeria.Very soon they are going to provoke the people to the extent even their barracks will no longer be safe. We have said these men do not wish for nigeria to survive. We have yet another evidence.It is very unprofessional behaviour we have on display.In what other country in the world will such a misguided undertaking be approved by a military hierachy? What are the youths asking for? Our understanding of their position is a return to the nigeria that was agreed to by the founders.So what are the nigerian military willing to die for? Are they laying down their life for a nigeria founded by Gen Sanni Abacha? What are they in the nigerian military to accomplish? We have reached a point where each person will search his own soul.As men with privilage pillage nigeria and turn it into a killing field we must rethink.The display of the slaughter of the youths who should be in school and are not, who should have jobs but have only displair,we must rethink.Who really needs a country that benefits a handful of people? It is time to ask some serious questions.Oil was discovered in Bodeja, Birnin Gwari, Gombe and Lake Chad basin.Today these places are terrorist strongholds.Gold was found in Taraba and terrorists have taken over the place.You use violence to prevent your own resource from being used to benefit the pool of the commonwealth. But you send terrorists of various kinds to secure and ensure the use of resources of the other members of the commonwealth. It is the definition of colonization.It will not stand in nigeria.People in the space are not going to accept the gambit.The people with this idea might ask the British empire.

How can a country survive these kind of intrigues? It is impossible to have a country where every resource becomes contested.Those whose resources are being used will wise up to the new approach sooner or later.When they do the country is doomed. We have a country where the miltary is focused on ethnic politics. No country can become a nation under such realities.Any country that will never grow into a nation will break up. It is only a matter of time.But the nigerian army focuses on youths from Eastern nigeria asking for nigeria to return to a place where healing can begin. And they are being massacred.Nigeria will not survive their very unpatriotic choices. The nigerian army has sold its image that for over twenty years many have worked hard to salvage.Again down the drain it goes once more in less than eight years.We have the proof that nigeria has no military presently but a band of unprofessional men in uniform.Some of us had hoped that the nigerian miltary could be rescued from the dibilitating bouts of dishonor inflicted upon it. We have the same people who ruined the force resume from where they had stopped.A bunch of people who neither understand patriotism nor democracy are working really hard to remove every iota of credibility that might accrue to the force.We see ethnic begots entrench to ruin a force that could not only be a source of strength to the country but to the african people and the people of color.We are all diminished by these bunch of people who have ruined the continent and a country with such great potentials as nigeria. Nigeria is completely savaged by these bunch and they keep at it, and have kept it up with gusto! Today we watch even the opposition political party work for election in 2023 when the country is in shambles.They well know they will have no chance at winning under the present set of events. Instead of working with the rest of the country to seek to create a sustainable structure they are bust planning strategy.Well the supreme court is there. They must be reminded.How does it appear to them these people who want to capture the entire nigeria territory before 2023 are planning to have a free and fair election?

We see the disdain they exude when they are dealing with these youths whose only sin is being born in the space called nigeria.These are youngmen who have done everything they are suppose to do.Many of them are university graduates and skilled people who are not employed because of the inequity in the polity. And they clearly understand this, very clearly. Some are out of university for years.Nothing offends like when a person who dishonored your family begins to threaten you as well.The country will protect foreign bandits and kill its own youths.We have said it time and time again the soldiers who kill in Eastern nigeria will not escape the long arms of the law of retribution of the God of the people of this area. It will get them however long it takes. It could find them in uniform or out of it. But by and by it will find them. They will and they are going to pay for violating a people in their own mother and fatherland.Nigeria has a democracy.Nigeria is operating a democratic dispensation.Why are a different set of rules being applied to the people of Eastern nigeria? So the area just exists for nigeria to go and harvest resources to run the rest of the space? How in the world did the nigerian government convert a civil protest by youths to a war? We watched as the government invite armed people into the country. We watched as they were being ferrried into the communities in many areas of Southern nigeria.We invited the entire world to watch these events with us.During a lockdown these people were being ferried to communities in southern nigeria.The same government that imposed a lockdown allowed these murderers to be ferried around the entire southern nigeria.

These people began attacking hitherto peaceful communities and we watched and traced it all to the enabling arms of the government. So now the nigerian military go in to target citizens who are protecting themselves from marauding foreign bandits.It will not be enough to appologise for the "loss of lives". We have made our case to the world. We are very tired and fade up with the repeating violence from the people who hate us so much.It appears they are not able to help themselves.What are the people suppose to do? Wait for the bandits to wipe them out? Already we have people who have been displaced by this same band of deadly urchins.Thanks to them nigerians are "internally displaced". The many tens of thousands murdered by them are on record.Villages are burnt and looted and the government finds excuses. The government coins the phrase "internally displaced". It is a fancy word formulated by a government given to the art of explaining extremes. The people of Eastern nigeria will not be internally displaced. Millions are already all over the world.So many thanks to this very same mechanism.Instead of being "displaced" in nigeria we are demanding our space as ordained by God! We invoke our right to our own sovereignty as an indegenous nation.We have no need for any war. Nigeria is neither an entity founded by conquest nor did God make nigeria.It is and has been a free space. It was colonized but the independence from the colonizers was negotiated. There was an agreement reached for the people to continue to remain an entity. If these men have outgrown the agreement and have abandoned it the rest can't be bound by it.If any other thing or rule tickles their fancy it is their own illusion.In the face of threatening and clear danger the people of Eastern nigeria will revert to the status quo ante.Every other matter is mute when there is harm enveloping them as is the case at this very moment.We reject the killing and humiliation of our citizens.We also wish to distance ourselves from the causative factors.

We say a big No! We say a big NO to the massacre in nigeria. Capturing, shaming and displaying our youths whose only offence is to defend their motherland in this manner will destroy nigeria with a swift deadly slide! In over a decade they are unable to overcome a bunch of illitrate barefoot religious bandits turned terrorists.How will they withstand a very well educated group with sympathisers across the globe? It is a very suicidal idea. It might not seem so now.As they start another unreasoned set of events they gleefully open the gates of hell. If these men had any idea at all they would never engage in such a foolish prank.How many Boko haram terrorists did they capture or humiliate in this manner? How many ISWAP members have they captured? How many marauding bandits have they captured? How many killer herdsmen have they captured? We are asking these "brave" men in nigerian military unifrom. How many we ask them? Boko haram has withstood them for more than a decade. The citizens who have to deal with these many sources of danger is now the target of their military prowess? Nigerian military what has gotten over you? It is a very big shame indeed!

The world watched the action of this government as its sharia chief justice overturn a legitimate election.By which action they showed disdain for democracy and actual rule of law.There was an election in which ballots were cast and counted and approved by the appropraite authority.But they took the person who came fourth in the number of votes cast and found an absurd technicality to impose him on the people. It was an event that removed a governor sworn in by the officers of the state after being confirmed by the institution vested with the authority.Since then the state the most peaceful in the country hitherto has been thrown into turmoil.Governments are founded to create peace and order not to disturb it. It is not how countries work.It is exactly how they are destroyed and these men are hard at work to dismantle nigeria! The nigerian military join in gleefully.If only these men understood their mandate the last place anyone will send them today is Eastern nigeria.Asking for referendum is no act of insurrection as some given to ignorance insinuate. Neither is self defence. What is a problem is a double standard in the application of justice.

It is the foudation of anarchy. Now it is playing out.It is the sharia law that is being enforced in Imo state. It is not the laws of the federation to which the people of Eastern nigeria willingly subscribed to.Therein is the root of the present conflict. It is constitutional and political.It is not a matter of guns and bullets.It is a matter for the roundtable.The community sense arrant impunity and corruption in the system. We have told the people of Eastern Nigeria to get ready to defend themselves and their resources. We have told them that nigeria has more gold than Ghana and South Africa put together.Nigeria has gold in more that fifteen locations in Northern nigeria. Gold deposit occur in Abuja/Nasarawa area,Maru,Malele,Anke,Tsohon,Gwari,Bin Yauri,Zamfara etc. It is all being mined privately.Nigeria has gold in more than four sites in Osun/Oyo in Western nigeria.The sites are all in private hands.Every hydro carbon deposit in Eastern nigeria is ceased by the federal government.The time has come to resist the injustice.The people have every right to resist it. What is going on in nigeria is not about cows. The armed men are no herders. We like to tell ordinary nigerians what the sponors of the terror are after.It is your resources they want.You do not matter in any way at all.You yourselves know this to be true.The insecurity you experience is intended to force you into canine loyalty.You will either fight or die.

We reject the position of the abuja government.It is not the law of the federation to which our forebearers undersigned. We reject what the Abuja government is doing in Eastern Nigeria.We reject it and we demand they recall their armed men.All of them. We are being provoked. We will no longer be intimidated to the point of surrender.We subscribed to a country not a bedlam. Our forebearers willingly accented to a federation of equal partners.It will be a very different matter if these people are not quickly recalled.We are not going to watch our youths massacred by a band of jihadists and plunderers in military uniform.We ar going to ask for help to repel these bandit uniform or not. And we are very sure help will come.At that time the nigerian government will have no way to negotiate or control the situation.We ask them to show enough sense and recall their men immediately.The world is not impressed with their show of shame.Many times they have denied killing in this area.Now they can't. We warn because we care! The ones who refuse to listen will bear and carry the blame for the threatening hell to come.

African Renaissance.

We have watched as the nigerian government slides into muslim fundamentalism and many still are slumbering away. Not one single day passes without them issuing one draconian order or another.Muslims refer to these as "fatwa". And so goes the space we used to call nigeria. Twelve states have been taken hostage without as much as a whimper from the elites in Northern nigeria who were pretending all along to be patriotic nigerians.How patriotic is that? And still their "fatwa" keep on rolling.Even the so called federal government of nigeria is not spared.These people order them around and they shamefully comply to the consternation of citizens.The prospect is very nerve jarring.We know nigeria is a country that now operates and exists without a basis.It is a country operated without a constitution.Some people who are called politicians and leaders have been purchased.They can't even worry about such things. They have no idea they are just items on the menu. We must all remember that nigeria as was founded consists of autonomous indegenous ethnicities.It is a very big mistake to take this for granted. These groups have survived for centuries and have thrived for a reason.They can fight! Life has never been a walk in the park anywhere at any time. It was alway a struggle of serious proportions.

If an Igbo and a Yoruba or Ijaw will not be first Igbo Yoruba or Ijaw something is wrong.These politicians pretend to be nigerians. Their opponents are busy taking everything they have including their dignity.The nigeria they claim has been killed by their opponents who keep a straight face. Nigeria does not exist by law or by even agreement of any type by the participants.Some have hijacked the space and are buying off every willing person.The motive is to have pliable people who will not oppose the ungoing "fulanization" project.If the people that make up nigeria will not agree to have a raison d'etat there is no need to continue to deceive the world any further.If the present government fills nigeria with armed Malians or Mauritainians or Chadians or others from Niger Republic it will not take the place of a constitution.If the founding constitution is no longer acceptable to the Northern muslim elite where then do we find a country? If the nigerian northern religious elite hand the reins of power to these aliens and allow them to compile the details of nigerians for political hit job it is not funny. We just want to tell them we are paying attention.Presently nigeria is on life support.But it will not for much longer. Thanks to them.

The decree issued by the government during the period of military rule can't be replaced by the constant resort to "fatwa" by the Islamist northern ruling class. The rest are sick and tired already.It is time the whole of them who are thinking this is some kind of a bad joke wake up.They must recognize they are up against what a colonial power like Britain was unable to handle.It is shocking for a group with no patience or eye for details to pretend to understand these issues. They absolutely do not.In going to a place like Egypt to announce and invite people into nigeria this government displayed a thorough lack of understanding of social issues. It is like giving an order for a sick person to be kicked around very hard. You do not want them to live.With millions of unemployed people and youths with no education and utter feeling of worthlessness how could this be a solution? It is our opinion these people do not want nigeria. From the very beginning they never wanted it as it is. Now they are remaking it to suit them.It is clear to them they have no skill for the burden to manage such a massive responsibility.What they need is a place they can plunder. It requires no skill to do that. All you need is terror.We know the president was a coup maker who once thought he could solve nigerian problems with a string of orders and military declarations. Naturally he failed. We believe the counter coup must have been even a relief to him. His friends saw him choking and removed him from a self inflicted pain and suffering! Paddyman Gen Sanni Abacha was a thoroughbred coup maker. So he provided his services for a friend in need.Nigerians are too patient but it has now worn very thin.The man who is president today is an emodiment of the people who have created present nigeria that is suffocating its citizens.

When the counter coup came it was expected.History is again repeating itself.Once again the man has choked himself.But this time he is surrounded by a bunch of self seeking acolytes.The man is left to his own devices and he has much.During his military days he will threaten and threaten again.It was all a litany of "this will not be tolerated and that will not be tolerated". He wanted people to queue at bus stops.There was no planning.Buses were not provided.The ricketty buses that ply the roads could only carry a few people out of the many that were waiting! People come to the bus stop to get transportation.It is not to queue or not.It is to get transportation they come.Without bathrooms in public places it was made a crime to seek to ease ones self in public. In many places like Lagos there were millions of people at any given point in time.In Osodi market and bus stop for instance the drama of this policy played out on daily basis.Nobody had put all of that into considerations. It is little wonder that the typical lagosian and the "african ninja" reacted with "i don care damn" atittude. It was a cat and mouse game with the unfortunate men asked to enforce the law. Seeing how hopeless the situation was they made the best of it. It became a windfall. When they catch you there is a solution.You just have to do the " the right thing". It became a type of taxation but the money went to well connected people. The Oshodi market area on a typical day is a hub for a few million people with no public conviniencies.Providing such will be a monumental challenge.No less a challenge also will be maintaining such a facility and keeping it in sanitary condition.

Government normally will punt the ball in such situations.It is normal to defer to the future when better answers are available. Unless the government sees itself as that future. We had a government which thought it was the future but had no answers.It was a nightmare. We recall the "Ghana must go" episode? We remember how millions of Ghanaians residing in nigeria were asked to leave. An order that was issued "with immediate effect". We are talking about a population of very hardworking people from a neighboring country.At the time a series of misfortunes had crippled the nation leaving citizens in a lurch.This population was industrious and productive.We are talking about a population that consisted of the most learned people in the african continent.Someone woke up one day and asked all of them to leave "with immediate effect". Naturally the economy of the country took a great tumble.Again we see a lack of proper perception here.I give these as classic examples of the mindset of this leader and his like.It is not suprising they have resorted to the use of religion as a ploy. It is a ploy.They are not religious people.The only man among them who exuded religious trait was Gen Muritala Mohammed.

These ones are plunderers.Anyone give us the list of what the general owned before he was brutally murdered by the ones who wanted to plunder nigeria.Today they have messed the nigerian polity up! Somethings are very serious.When you threaten people and their means of existence they will resist you.The size of your army not withstanding they are going to withstand you.In life the uprising from the indignation of abuse of power never has failed.We want these loquacious free loaders from "all over tha place" who have held and focused the highlight on themselves to understand what harm they are doing.Our people are being killed.We realize life means nothing to them.We also recognize they have no understanding of family and heritage as we do.They created a Sharia country of twelve states out of nigeria.Who did they ask? How did they determine it was the choice of the majority? Of course in their presumptive egotistic manner this was imposed on everyone else. Now they want to pretend they love nigeria more than the rest who have tried to mantain the country as agreed. On our last check they already left nigeria! We want them to know they are not fooling anyone but themselves.One day the people will recognize that and defend their own lives and resources from theives and plunderers.

The governors in Eastern nigerian are all busy day dreaming about becoming president of nigeria.It is not clear to them nigeria is changing in demography and identity.It is lost on them.The people at the helm have an agenda and they are not pretending.Somehow only these day dreamers are not able to know the difference. People are trooping in displacing indegenous population and they think it is business as usual.They think that a man is being sincere when he acts or rather pretends that herding of cattle in nigeria is normal today.Herding was done when nigeria was a country of fifty five million people and perhaps a million heads of cattle.It is still a solution when the country now has over two hundred million people. Who thinks like that? We have a mindset which totally rejects challenge and problems.Somebody is talking about cattle routes in 2021. We have malls being built all around southern nigeria.We are not able to assume that some people think that these have to be suspended to make way for cattle routes? Is that the kind of leadership these people are capable of? They knows it is provocation.They do not think the people have any choice.Helpless governors are calling on the population to defend themselves. There is absoulutely no means allowed them to leaverage their authority.The central government assumes and presumes all authority in a federation.It sets the purpose for having such a government on its head! When a governor asked people to defend themselves we have anarchy. But they see no other way. The states have no capacity to defend citizens or enforce the law independently. In Benue, Zamfara, Bornu, Kebbi,Niger states indegenous people are being driven away and massacred mercilessly by migrants and their local allies.But the nigerian government issues shoot at sight order to the military.Some of us predicted it was aimed at no other than those who are demanding to be truely free.

Governors have called on the central government to no avail. But the government of nigeria focuses on killing the people of Eastern nigeria.Goverrnment and those in power just can't stand them. The resourcefulness of the people and the natural endowments in the area has made them the target of plunderers. And they are talking about unity. But there is no country.Nigeria is under full invasion by foreign migrants who are all fully armed! The world is watching the making of a genocide 2.0.The nigeria army is on a killing spree fully rampaging Eastern nigeria. After instigating avoidable conflict using foreign migrant herders they move in for the kill. We had begged the government of nigeria pleading with the president to treat the agitations as civil and constitutional issues which they truely are.We had requested that when felonies occur that such must be seen as breaches which must pass through the normal legal channels. Instead the government and its law enforcement has chosen and relied on the worst methods.The men have relied on primodal methods and have turned normal disagreements in a democracy into warfare.They are killing defenceless people in a supposed country. By it they have set fire on very peaceful communities causing unprecedented human problems and suffering. We have mass graves all over nigeria under this government that make ISIS a joke. The country is collapsing in the worst possible way.It will not be long before Europe will begin to feel the effect of the threatening disaster!

Sad enough the governors in Eastern nigeria are not aware of what is happening.In the insuing confussion they are not sure where to place their loyalty. They respond like ones in a trance! We have a man planted in the heartland of Eastern nigeria to destroy a people.The man voted in by the supreme court is inviting a military he knows its antecedent into the communities to destroy lives. We see him with the glee of the folly and the enthusiasm of a sadist masquerading as leader.The space is on fire under him and that does not worry him at all. He came to serve the people.He came to serve them their death warrants.The nigerian army now populated by Boko Haram repentants is busy killing our youth at the invitation of this man. And this right inside the bowels of Igboland.According to civil right lawyers the morgues in nigeria especially in Imo state are filled with suspected ESN and IPOB. Every able bodied youth in Eastern nigeria is suspected ESN and suspected IPOB. As we all are well aware IPOB is an organization asking for referendum for the mainly christain Eastern nigeria. The Islamists running the nigerian government have issued a death sentence and muslim "fatwa" in a democracy instead of relying on national and international laws. Suddenly the nigerian government finds an excuse for extra judicial massacre of Igbos and people of Eastern nigeria. It will be challenged if it does not stop immediately. It will be challenged and since they do not wish to adhere to rules neither will rules be necessary in challenging this abuse of authority.The people are indegenous and autonomous.Their survival is more prieminent than any so called country and its interests.If any reality does not subsume this fact it will be rejected totally. The world is bound to react.We know that. But this is the time for it. Not after millions have already been killed. The people being accused by the nigerian government live and work around the world. The government of nigeria somehow ignores this glaring fact and reality. Somehow armed bandits and terorrists are protected by the nigerian army while law abiding citizens who want to have a safe community are attacked and massacred by law enforcement agents.

IPOB is not a load of miscreants.They are the men and women remitting billions of dollars back to a very ungreatful, wasteful bunch of gamblers calling themselves leaders. They are providing the resources for the government to order fighter jets, amoured tanks and weapons to protect killer herdsmen, marauding bandits and terrorists.The governments acknowledges that these are not even nigerian people.But they are allowed to kill and maim citizens as they please.In the past we appealed to the government to arrest and prosecute people found in breach of the law.But they chose to kill rather than prosecute those they disagree with.We repeatedly appealed to them to maintain a less adversarial approach. But they are set in their own ways.With the choice they have made comes the inevitable reality they have created. The truth is clear.These people being killed are no criminals. They have reacted in self defence.In other places where international best practices of law enforcement are relied on they protest without incidents. We are requesting that people of conscience intervene. The people fighting us have a lot of help. And they have a set goal and mission.Someone must prevail upon a government focused on killing defenceless citizens. Meanwhile bandits and terrorist are trooping into nigeria unchecked. A fact no less than the president of nigeria accepts. It is the time to stop the fatalism. It has gone too far.The killing by bandits and terrorist are far too many already.It is unthinkable government is attacking the people who are out to defend themselves.It is clear the goal is not unity but domination and extermination.Somebody sees the chance to wipe out the Igbos and the people he despises in Eastern nigeria. Calling them "a "dot" in a circle". The language used to describe the people of the area is very troubling and worrisome. He has no good intentions.Every time he opens his mouth it is made clear.The idea must be stopped before this escalates into another human tragedy.

I have never felt the need nor necessity to savage the British Empire.We might disagree with the idea but it served the people and their interests.Human beings are always prone to behave in such terms mostly.Britain was colonized over and over. Britain was a colony of both Rome and France at some point in time.It is therefore not anything to preach to the British people what colonialism means. It is something they understand very well.They deal the hand dealt to them.It is called life. We however must note that those things can't happen today.It is even hard to imagine it ever happened.It is also a fact of life.Not only are they unacceptable but very impossible for such to be brought about under the present set of reality.First the British people as a sovereign nation of people will prefer hell to boil over the entire earth! And second the would be opponent will think the action over long and hard. If such a person has his head on his shoulders and his mind focused on reality he will conclude it is not a good idea.My essay is however not about Britain but Nigeria.Britain created a country out of different sovereign nationalities of people in the West African region.Britain first uses the normal diplomatic (hubris) ploys and conquest and those things that go with subjugating weaker people.Britain formed protectorates from Lagos, Rivers/Delta,fought the Egba people, fought with the Bini people, fought with the Igbo an event spearheaded by the Arochukwu clan of igboland.In the end the British had what it called the Southern protectorate.It merged this amorphous entity with another one cobbled up northward of the space.It was something they were willing and ready to try. The man entrusted with this excercise justified it as a "marriage".And it is in this fact we find redeeming truth.To the extent a marriage is not a do or die affair neither is this event.

I have no intention to repeat the history of the said event. The man who was entrusted with this responsibility had formed two seperate protectorates of very unequal economic realities.Something he laments about in his conversations.He savages the people of one area as lazy and unproductive. But he will later choose them as partners.I find it a subject that will take many lines and will not delve into that here.It is very well documented and has been praised and lamented even lambasted over the years.Young chief Obafemi Awolowo called the arrangement a "marrige of convinience" which it truely is.And referred to nigeria as "a mere geographical expression".The people of northern nigeria had ugly things to say of the relationship and nigeria.The leaders of northern nigeria have had ugly things to say of the relationship some of which were very incendiary.It was their game to say what a bad arrangement and how incompartible the nigerians are. Which is suprising considering the relationship was suppose to benefit them more and actually does. Today they are wasting the lives of youth who are agitating for a better soceity in Eastern Nigeria in an oozing magna of patriotic zeal! Even a civil war which cost nearly five million lives has not cured their disdain for the Igbo and other people of Eastern Nigeria.The fact crude oil accounts for the survival of nigeria is why they want to pretend some people in the region are more tolerable.But they too are massacred and dehumanized. It is not a relationship.It is subjugation.All the people of Eastern Nigeria are still very despised by the northern elite.It is this group that has hurt nigeria.They are a cabal of very selfish self-centered and corrupt people.Look at the people around them! When the angst around them worsens they point fingers.They accuse and create diversionary mechanisms. Many feel it got even far worse.Some of this people have introduced fanatical religion into the mix. It is not the subject of this essay.

We want to say that the British claimed or rather Fredrick Lugard claimed he was creating a relationship between a "the south; the lady of means, and northern nigeria: the well behaved youth and suitor".And it is in this statement we find redemption.Northern nigeria has not been well behaved in the relationship.To the British they might be well behaved. In the relationship they have been very bad.The Igbos have been massacred repeatedly by them.They have foisted a war on unarmed people of Eastern Nigeria. And they are still spoiling and raging! Lately the youth have become a kinapper, bandit, terrorist, rapist and everything a suitor must never be! In view of this ungoing reality the union can't continue.The victim has ended it.I am not a lawyer and would not worry myself about whether a treaty lasts a hundred years or more.I am a realist. I happen to know that sovereign entities enter into treaties and they can back away from it. When a treaty does not serve the envisaged purpose people will rethink it. Britain did exactly that with the European Union. We must see that as a very good example of how a people must pursue their own self interest.

If the people from the sharia states will not have a conversation with the rest of nigeria it will be presumed they have moved on.Everything else they do will be seen and regarded as convinient propaganda. If you just want to plunder and take no responsibility you must find a good and effective mask for it. It is not as if nigeria can't work. It could work. But they just would not allow it. The resources are needed by the ones aspiring to become feudal Lords! Being helped by those who have their own motives these people want nothing constructive for the population.It is much too expensive.They need the money for themselves. Dr Azikiwe and Chief Awolowo contrary to what many from outside africa claim did in reality work out an agreement. They formed an alliance known as (UPGA) United Progressive Grand Alliance.In fact the alliance broke the so called grip in northern nigeria.It was not allowed to stand.But it would have created a prosperous united nigeria! It was that agreement/alliance that brought about the 1966 coup.It was not acceptable to the people who controlled the politics of the space.The unseen hands did not want the "well behaved youth" to look bad so the method of overturning the reality had to be subtle.The youths from southern nigeria in the armed forces were used to carry out a coup from which nigeria was turned into a fulani colony.It is ironic for the representatives of the British did not have high opinion of the fulani. In 1916, Lord Frederick Dealtry Lugard, the first Governor-General of Nigeria, said of the fulani; "The Hausa-Fulani has no ideals, no ambitions save such as sensual in character. He is a fatalist, spendthrift and a gambler. He is gravely immoral and is seriously diseased that he is a menace to any community to which he seeks to attach himself". It caused me to go ..ouch!

So we see the nature of this "friendship".The man Lugard had demonized the african people in his book called "The Dual Mandate. He had savaged the entire african people with no exceptions.Some of his observation or assesment concerning "greed, vanity" and " lust for power' amused me a little bit.But some people believe they are "friends" with those who think of them in this kind of way. It is very suprising. Often they are made to believe it does not matter so long as they know there is a relationship.The africans who fought for independence rejected a relationship that denies them equality.We have some who have been cajoled into a false assumption. It is this presumption that has denied them the capacity to build relationship with those around them.Today it has made nigeria very unworkable.Militarization, and terror will not change the reality.No one has the monopoly of violence.The people of Eastern nigeria the glue that had held nigeria together are truely exhausted.The sheer frequency of fatalism from the fulanis in nigeria is tiring and exhausting! The recent return to marauding, banditry even terror in plain sight was the last straw. It is unreasonable to ask the people of Eastern Nigeria to rethink.Nigeria has cost them far too much and much than what they have benefitted from it. It is a bad venture. It is an assesment they must make as enterpreneural people.The ones who are likely to ask the people of Eastern nigeria to rethink have not sacrificed anything of much significance.The coups was either masterminded by them or sponsored for their benefit.The Igbo people and their kit and kin are moving on too! The core north have a community of their own choosing.Others have a right to do the same.It is the assesment of many that the time has come to move on.They will not say this for fear of what might happen to them.However the decision represents the general consensus in the space.It is the momentum propelling the present course of action and is very immutable.

We had pleaded with the government of nigeria when it was apparent it was considering some kind of action against IPOB in time between September 15 to October 14 2017.We advised that nigeria is now a democracy and the matter should be seen as a political one.What we saw was a reaction similar to the days of the days of the unknown soldier. Only this time it was far worse! How do you run a democracy that way? What we saw was inherently evil.We advised there was no insurrection and rebellion being meditated because the group in question the IPOB (Indegenous people Of Biafra) was demanding a referendum.We hear the request for referendum in the British Parliament every week! No, I mean very often.It is a civil request.How on earth will this concern the British military? Unthinkable. In nigeria the youths call for restructuring animates those who profit from misnomer.The military now created the atmosphere for such to happen more frequently.The strong people went to Umuahia to do a "python dance".The fervent plea to the military and the authorities is on this site. We asked the leaders from Southern nigeria to reach out to the government.It is where this becomes tricky.What the many ambitious presidential aspirants did in the circumstance was not clear to me.I have said that when our motives are not pure neither will our actions be without odour.The nigerian navy and airforce are srambled to confront youths armed with cellphones.They were so irritated and animated.Something that can't occur when communities are attacked and tens of people killed and vandalized.We saw how the military went to Umuahia with amoured tanks and fighter aircrafts, bombers and men dressed like astronauts but for their weapons.We do not see such diaplay with Boko Haram.

We have never seen the prisoners taken in the fight against Boko Haram. Now against these we see all the massive show of force. All that against a group of jobless youths with unfathomable angst carrying their cellphones! The outcome was nearly fifty people killed and many more missing.Among the missing at the time was the leader of the group Nnamdi Kanu whose father's residence was stormed as though it was a fortress! What was needed was a little respect. The owner of the compound is a traditional and paramount chief of his people.Militarizing the situation was very improper and very disrespectful. Many think it was done as a way to spite the people.Traditional settings in Igboland are not military entities.They are festive and places to give and receive encouragement.The display of military muscle was quite inappropriate and unnecessary.It was a very laughable event if not for the fatalities.The military acted like an expeditionary force. It was a disgraceful move by a military of a country of two hundred millions people many of whom are among the most resourceful in the world.Nigeria now has a military that accepted terrorists who had massacred and raped among their ranks.Such they purport are repentant.The people concerned are all fulani.It is a novelty nobody else will adopt.First it puts the idea of law and order on its head! To pardon a murderer is one thing. To place them in charge of the lives of other people is a careless display worthy of not just rebuke but serious sanctions!

It is very important to stress that we are not going to be able to minimize the sense of fear and trepidation this will create among other soldiers especially the ones that are not fulani.By this action the authorities have shown thy are not interested in building a united country.If it were not so they will be concerned for this truth.But they will also be concerned for the people who were denied the love and presence of their loved ones by this set of murderers.What the nigerian government has done is to offer them sanctuary in the armed forces of all places after exonerating them in the killing spree of nigerians.We find such mindset troubling.The government recently made retiring military chiefs ambassadors.Some of them are accused of presiding over the murder of innocent citizens.Actions such as these point to impunity.The 1999 constitution derives from this mindset.Some people commit a treasonable offence and are not only quick to exonerate themselves but are making themselves kings over the rest! The Oputa panel was a superior frame of mind which recognized the need for forgiveness and closure. But it is an approach and narative these group spurn and ridicule every chance they get.We find these things very worrisome and a trend that is very unsustainable.For these same people to be the peace makers and the ones accusing the rest of unpatriotism not only overturns truth and facts, it is trampling them as a routine.

We ask to be allowed to have the space to rebuild our communities that nobody has rebuilt since the civil war of 1967 to 1970. Why is that a problem to those who do everything for themselves without consulting with anyone at all? We demand to know from the people who claim to "rule" nigeria if it is a lie they kept the nigerian northern boaders open after inviting their so-called "people" in. We demand the plan they had in place as near millions of them trooped in. We are not amused that a group of people who have millions of youths with neither education nor skills can ask for more of what they are unable to manage.It sound like insanity.Under such circumstances they expect indegenous population not to defend themselves? The right to defend oneself is not given by any government or authority. It is a natural right. It is the God given right of every living human person. How much more within the context of a sovereign nation of people.If the nigerian military is not withdrawn from Eastern nigeria immediately the world will come down on Aso Rock. Every thing will crash down hard on the people who fail to reason before they act.The people egging them on will be too small for what will be coming very soon upon them.

It is very evil for the people that starved children to death in the millions to preach to us.It is wrong for the people who opened the womb of pregnant women smashing the foetus to preach to us.It is evil for the people who are now encircling our communities yet again killing,maiming and raping women and children to preach unity to us.Ordinarily the people of Eastern nigeria are very content to go about their business in a space that is free.They care very little about politics until the space is disturbed. It is why a few fatalistic people use terror to try to intimidate them into abandoning leadership to them.Right now rather than discuss ways to find mutuality they are threatening to cease all property of people from Eastern Nigeria if they demand a sovereign nation of their own. We tell the people who have property in certain parts of nigeria not to worry about such things.ECOWAS has courts and laws.Besides if the people of Eastern Nigeria determine their course of action everything will be resolved.If it involves paying compensations the resources will be found to do so.

Citizens of Eastern Region remitted over sixteen billion dollars to nigeria in the last year.If they have a nation they are more than able to pay compensation for liabilities if need be.I would love for the people of Eastern Nigeria who oppose the idea of an independent nation to think reason with us.We have tried to make nigeria work. Our people are the most invested in nigeria. But look at the people who are ravaging our lives because of that.It is abuse of a priviledge.The proper response it to take away the priviledge.It is more difficult to heal nigeria than to turn the page. The people who are preaching peace and unity are the reason it can't exist.It is hard to consider the impact of soceity that refuses to pay people for their work.In other words nigeria has reached a situation where its debt burden make it necessary to turn workers into slaves.When you work and you are not paid what are you? You ask the question: what was the borrowed money used for? The people who preside to take a loan become billioneers. We have leadership without compassion.They even owe pensioneers! We want a soceity that is better than that. The Igbo soceital model which is practiced by the entire nation of people can do a lot better.The igbo nation includes our people who share the same culture and value system.

Due to the egalitarian and republican nature of the Igbo culture, dialects and styles are prolific. We ask any person who dares to think to look at the instrinsic values.The "Ekpe" and "Okonko" soceity as well as the art "Uri" an art form of indegenous ancient citedal of the land is housed by the Ibibios and Annang people. So also is the "Nsibidi" the "Igbo" form of very ancient writing. It is for this reason the oldest institutions of learning in former Eastern Nigeria are located along that axis.Dr. Nnamd Azikiwe attended one of such insitution. How could they be different? The "deity" of control among the people the "kamanu" is housed in Ozuzu in Rivers State. As a people we are being abused, milked, plundered and pillaged by others. We have been exploited in many ways.When human labor was the most important ingredient for development they took among our strongest as slaves. Today our resources are taken from us for nothing. Let us face the issue militating against the people of Eastern nigeria that now emperil them as a people.Why would Britain prefer dealing with Nigeria than the actual owners of the crude oil they need? For many years this product was taken from the land at no cost to Britain.When Shell camp was built in Owerri before even the 1940s nigeria had no idea what was going on.We propose that the British government and people look to be a little fair to the people of the area.These are people they happen to know very well.When they agitate they will not stop.What they ask for is equity.If they do the people will collaborate with them better than this bumpy blood filled relationship with nigeria. It is a choice they will make or they will be the loosers. They recall the people always find a way to be free.

So now they push this fake country that will not work no matter how hard we try. We hope they listen. And we now turn to our own sleep walkers who claim to be leaders in Eastern nigeria. It is very true that the head of state of nigeria went to a place like Egypt and invited people into nigeria. He promised them visa on arrival.We started shouting at the time knowing the implications of that. Today these hardened murders are all over Igboland and eastern nigeria.They are positioned in Enugu, in Ebonyi in Rivers state and all over Cross River State. We are witnessing a plan to repopulate nigeria with muslims.And the nigerian military has become an accomplice to the disappointment of many of us who had hoped the institution could be reformed to become patriotic.It must be clear to these men who claim to be leaders that their emotions and sentiments means nothing to the people they are dealing with. They wish to be president but who really cares? Do they think anyone besides themselves consider such an earth shattering opportunity? Each and everyone of them is angling for the same position.It is the height of delusion and misdirection. But they are all taken by it and would not listen to any one.These people are aware and are playing them as fiddle.Ordinarily these are not people who could outwit them but they are very vulnerable due to their own lack of proper perspective. Why are some of our people not focused upon the value and worth of self interest? It is in their interest to pay attention. if they will not Abuja might become their permanent home.

We are being "misruled" by those who undertake things they are unprepared for.They want to "rule" nigeria and have indeed done so with disastrous consequencies.It is clear they have no idea how to lead much more govern. It is too cumbersome for them.The details agravate them and throw them into fits of rage.To engage with others is beneath them.The question one asks is: why do they want to be in a democracy? Fact is they do not want to. It is only a facade to have access to resources of other people.It is the reason they go for coups when they can't have their way.It explains the twelve sharia states in the core north as we speak.It is the reason they seek feudalistic settings.Who would dispute the fact that the foreign fulani in many parts of nigeria attempting to take over their ancestral land have backers in high places? Killing people in their farms is not the end game.Causing them to flee in fear and taking over the space and their heritage is the real plan.Let us even examine the idea of threatening the source of livelihhod of the population.Is that not an attempt to commit genocide? This action is coming again from people against another whom such had been attempted in the past. It is not a cattle grazing it is provocation with ulterior motives. Any group of people that will not organize to protect themselves will join the internally displaced population.We all know how life works in the "camps"! It is therefore unreasonable to question why the ESN was formed.Many support the Eastern Secuity Network (ESN) but are not members of IPOB.ESN became necessary when the lives of our people became threatened before us.The alternative is not imaginable by any stretch. What we have here is stark incompartibility.Pretending and glossing over it has cost so many lives already. It is time to accept reality and move on if a workable amicable solution is beyond everyone.

The presidency has made some statements concerning the disturbing images of pure slaughter going on in Imo State.The presidential spokesman Mr. Garuba Shehu says the Governor of Imo State is reponsible for the atmosphere in Imo State.The governor invited the military and is responsible for the order given to the military in the state.It is what they call throwing someone under the bus. if anyone is looking for a true life illustration this is a very stark one.It is stripping a drowning person of their desperate even threatening grip on someone else. Ugly as it is we know life happens that way sometimes. But we had pleaded with the governor even warned sometime ago out of concern. We told him he will be exactly where he is today! He lumped everyone who expressed concern for the unethical events in the state, those who dared to tell him the truth "hooligans".A word that had been mangled in his lips.

His frequent trips to Aso Rock is a sign by its self that he is having a very hard time. Something that was clearly predictable to all but himself and his sponsors. By this trips he extracted a "shoot at sight order" from the presidency.We can see this clarification became necessary as the presidency tries to keep from drowning with the man with a millstone to his gubernatorial neck! At least there has been no shoot at sight even against marauding killing bandits. We have no casualies by it except in the land where the supreme court elects governors.It is really sad to think! We had seen this coming and had warned our people. We were ignored. Civil disobedience is the response to this kind of situation in a democracy.Instead they accepted gifts.It is sad the dynamics was changed by the people who just wanted to shed the blood of our youths.

The space was infiltrated by all sorts of terrorists with cows, and other various guises.We witnessed the shameless build up. We are no fools.We invited the world to watch the savagery with us.We have the witnesses standing with us. The nigerian government is not in the most comfortable of positions. We have a clear evidence of state sponsored terror.Attempting to blame a people who demand equity is disingenius. Why would the most peaceful soceity suddenly turn violent? What aspect of the culture of Eastern Nigeria supports such disorder? It is foreign and sponsored by interest alien to the well-being of the space and its own.Our land cries yet again.Our land is yet again desecrated by the blood of our own children.The answer to the charade by the Supreme court was impeachment.The state legislators knew that. But they were prepared to trade this priviledge for money.

All of them just switched party! The choice to trade their power and authority to correct the course of events for money is why the state has been turned into a killing field.I have articles on this site warning the people they will suffer for the choice they were making at the time.It is costing lives and property and there is no end in sight.I know the legislators will be wishing they could switch right back! Greed and avarice will lead to these type of situations.Democracy might seem like a game but it is not.When you are given a weapon use it or keep it until you need it. Self serving people who present themselves in public service are not always successful in masking their actions.Sometimes Nature sends highlight and focus on them. We have a very glaring example.The sponsors of the sharia court judgement in Imo State share the blame here. So also those who saw nothing wrong with the misnomer. How sad!

Nigeria is suppose to be operating a democratic system not a "patriocracy" nor a monarchy.President Buhari is not a "baba" of all nigerians. He is a president with well defined duties.He is not the father of nigerians as some misguided and ignorant people claim and purport.Some nigerian can take a pass on that! Fathers have a role in the family and reasonable people would not want to have a father who will be political with them.But we are all very different! Southern Nigeria have been under a cloud of death for the last three years.Many of us who had an open mind towards this administration have only shame and regret right now.The government started a move to seek reconciliation by declaring the death of Chief M.K.O Abiola a national tragedy. Somethng we had encouraged and prodded them to move forward along such lines. We had suggested they pursue dialogue in the dealings with agitators. We reminded them that such happens in every democracy.We watched as the far right and extreme elements in the government pull the president and government into extreme positions.Instead of seeking reconciliation they begin gathering personal information of nigerians.Such a move will only serve sinister purposes in a soceity that has nothing else to offer and afford citizens. Something we thought the national assembly should have halted promptly. But as usual they were not even engaged or concerned.We remind the national assembly it is their duty to oppose and checkmate such moves.Anything that has the prospect to threaten the liberties of the individual must be Read by them. What do they think the people elected them for? We have watched as the country took a turn for the worst under a very avoidable circumstance.

After youths were conered in Lekki toll gate and pushed in a move to make them drown in the Atlantic waters some us realized we have a problem.We had nigerian youths with the national flag singing the national anthem and openly celebrating their democracy.Some people chose it was an opportune moment to show how undemocratic they truely are.People who control the instruments and forces of coercion of state showed how far they are from democratic tenets.We feared this to be the case from the very start due to the culture and history of these people. The signs were on very early.This event showed us how deep and dangerous these tendencies could be.No sooner the government was sworn in did it become obvious that there was a very sinister agenda.Some people in power and government started to invite members of their ethnic group from around the world into nigeria.It is hard to understand how and why citizenship is overidden by such blatant act of nepotism. In the same space the same group have carved out twelve states in which they have established the sharia law. Sharia law is not an open system. It applies and serves only those who are muslims.A very bold and far reaching move one would imagine.There was no plebicite or referendum. But the nigerian state is suppose to be a secular state.The same people are imposing and forcing themselves on the rest of the people plundering their assets under the guise of unity.It is therefore very pertinent to place the outburst of no other than the head of state of this beleaguered people in proper perspective.The people of Eastern Nigeria have been massacred time and time again.Between 1967 to 1970 over four million were massacred in a a pogrom and the war of genocide which followed.

How can a man who was at the center of these entire event allow himself to utter such word as he did recently? It will be foolish of anyone to say he was misquoted.He spoke the words into the camera and microphone. They were his own exact words and his own thoughts.Words they say are a window to the heart. The man has a government that is very allergic to people of Eastern Nigeria.He removed a "chief justice of the federation" and almost got him imprisoned! He was replaced by a sharia judge.And nigeria is a secular state by law. The country does not operate a sharia law system. It is impunity yet the nigerian people are living with it. Law and justice is why countries are established. We have a situation where someone is trying to be over and above it. It is what is called feudalism and the worst version of it.It is not just the disdain he shows for rule of law. But it is also the love for terror. The man in question was a coup leader and maker. He ousted an elected government.Let us again recall the most gruesome massacres including in the genocidal war, the Asaba massacre.He was there. He witnessed it.We could not claim he approved or partook.Any human who witnessed these images and is not touched has ceased to be human.How about someone who was there in person?

In this event little children, pregnant women, men of all ages and all were shot dead in a stadium.The people responsible went around to ensure the victims were indeed dead! My question is: Is this the kind of language the man wants to speak? I wonder if it is the kind of "treatment" he is refering to.We alerted the world earlier of such a possibility. The head of state of nigeria said and I quote "many of those matching today are too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occured during the nigerian civil war.Those of us in the fields for 30 months who went through war will treat them in the language they will understand". We have something that sounds like the words of men who have presided over genocide around the world.Such heartless and very terse words by a man who is refering to an unfortunate event as the one in question is indicative of something much more omnius.These were very heartless and unkind words.We heard very cold words from one who claims to seek peaceful coexistence.Somebody just displayed a total lack of empathy and remorse. The protest is about the lives of youths many of whom are teenagers. It is about a future they are not able to see at all. The kids are worried about their future.Words of kindness and reassurance is what leaders use. Why are some who kill and rampage paid off while others are killed for just complaining? Fulani youths go off and kidnap citizens and demand hefty ransome and everyone including the government pays them.How is such a fair situation? We want those who are busy trying to paint the youths from the south in bad light to understand they are creating an industry of death for their own youths. What they are creating in the country is a prospect where the ordinary people are all loosers irrespective of their side of the divide.

Today he issues an existential threat to the people of Eastern Nigeria specifically but to all nigerians nonetheless.It is true the civil was was fought in Eastern Nigeria. But today the import is well appreciated by all.We have a government busy gatheing information of citizens including their phone numbers and records of the carriers.It is frightening.We have a government which will not provide ordinary electricity.The citizens can't find jobs. Industries have died due to paucity of foreign currency to import necessary tools. Existing ones are on life support. Yet the government needs personal information of citizens and details of their personal and private lives.Why? Such intrusive invasions of personal liberty is the hallmark of state terror. What does the authorities need someones's location for? Recently we heard in a video as soldiers departing to Eastern Nigeria were told to "shoot everybody that moves". It is enough! The people are no longer going to wait until the noose closes in again.We know there is a plan to create didorder as excuse to destroy lives. It is also going to allow this government to keep itself in power.None of these are desirable to the people of Eastern Nigeria.We have a government with a tenure of eight years but it frequently talks about "ten year plan of government". The hint must be taken seriously.We are looking at something very sinister.We want the world to make a very clear mental note of these facts. It is important to realize that all the noise is because the people are demanding their right.The people of Southern nigeria demand self government.Nigeria would never have happened without such agreement and can't exist or survive without it.

Somebody please tell NNPC the money they receive from marketing crude oil is not toy money! It is real money and the land from where the crude is taken is not a no man's land.It is derived from land with indegenes in it. How in the world are the people and indeed nigerian people suppose to take this sort of news from NNPC? First and foremost if we declare Eastern Nigeria Native Religion or Christain territory in response to their declaring sharia in twelve states in the core north a lot will change.It will be hard for all these people to come all the way to manage the resources belonging to other people.Not while they keep theirs well tucked away to just themselves.Not while theirs is encircled and circumscribed with a legal system to which other people are all enemies.We heard the youths of the area are asking for help to stir up the NNPC kingdom. It will get very very hot if they push this matter.We are well aware of the people who are dumping murderers in Eastern Nigeria and the Delta region. We are now getting a clearer picture! Somebody tell the NNPC that nigeria is changing and very fast too! If they want to perform some money tricks it must be less insulting! Giving money belonging to other people away in this way is going to make it very hard for NNPC to funcion without very big challenges.The people are engaged and interested in this event and demand it stops forthwith. We know they just flew the kite to test the wind direction.But what they will get will be a severe storm!

It is very rude to the people to whom this resource rightfully belongs.We know monies are being embezzled from sales of crude oil by those who have no rights to ownership in any way.The methods are becoming too brazen.When it is this audacious the people are well within their rights to intervene and will. NNPC has many refineries that have never worked.It is spending billions of dollars that can't be accounted for on them. To what will they blame these missed opportunities? Bad luck? To what will they attribute the waste? Now NNPC will spend monies enough to pay for all the refineries it has built to buy just twenty percent in a private refinery in Lagos.We see exactly why all the other government parastatals are dead! All milked to death by these evil geniuses.No, incompetent and ungrateful specimens of humanity.If this organization did not make a hell of money it would not be able to function right now.The crippling choices these people make are stunning.But they are determined to kill it now. They are about to accomplish that. They are with this most senseless proposition we have heard in a century! Nigerians are dying in want and penury and these people are doing these kind of stuff. All with resources taken by force from an autonomous indegenous people? What kind of mindless, heartless plundering is this? We are about to see wonders in nigeria! Somebody is about to stir the hornet and beehives at the same time.We are waiting for this disaster to finally unfold.Some people are planning to cause an explosion in nigeria. No wonder we are hearing of the sweet talk from the colonial people. There is about to be a windfall.Meanwhile natives are perishing for lack and youths are languishing without occupation. They now know what is happening.The hands are becoming clearer by the day! It is not religious fanaticism we are dealing with after all. It is exploitation and colonialism by a new means.It is why we hear all the talk about unity while they keep their end walled out of reach by a religious decree.It is time again to fight the imperialists!

I just had to put up this article in defence of the ordinary people in africa who are being robbed blind and then blamed for their own condition.I begin by stating that a representative is suppose to be like an advocate.One hires a legal representative who will go there in court and fight as though he is the one affected by the circumstances.The political representative is suppose to advocate for the people in the same way.We know they take and accept the mandate and divert the benefit to themselves.It is robbery.It is like a lawyer wins a case for damages he instituted for a client and keeps the claim all to himself.As a disclaimer we like to state that the example we are about to use here has nothing to do with the profession of this man.It has everything to do with his character.His choices for identifying with his people rather than the opulence of the powerful is unique. It is unlikely a man wishes to take power by the use of force only to turn it over to serve the people. It was no immitation and it can't be copied. What can be emulated is the mindset.We all remember Thomas Isidore Sankara of former Upper Volta.

The youngman in his thirties was a military man who showed the whole world the meaning of leadership.He took a country without direction and turned it into a veritable progressive nation.Within a few short years a drought stricken hungry nation was producing its own food and had to spare.And was poised to change the usual narrative about africa and africans.The man rejected external loans, shunned handout and looked within.He mobilized the people to prosecute infrastructural projects by direct labor.As a result stretches of roads and railway lines were constructed with next to nothing as cost.The cotton farms were not only revived the country was producing its own clothing from the cotton it produced.It was this youngman who told african leaders they must insist "our people consume what they produce".He insisted it was foolish to have apitite for what one can't afford.He sold the fleet of expensive vehicles belonging to the powerful in government and applied the funds to the agenda to serve the people.He was fit agile and quick to respond to the needs of the citizens.

He transformed the rights of citizens from civil to womens rights.He changed the name of the country from Upper Volta which meant nothing to Burkina Fasco meaning "homeland of a righteous people"! All within less than four years.It will shock any decent mind that such a person was betrayed by his own.Enabled by the same people who encircle and empoverish africans giving them air-heads as leaders this gem was killed.We remember Patrice Lumumba as we recall the circumstances. Painfully we have to add President John Pombe Joseph Magufuli of Tanzania to the list.The inhumanity against africa continues.In this man we had a very well prepared man who came ready to serve Tanzania and Africa.The man had already transformed Tanzania before our own eyes. And doing it all with no external loans burden to soceity. He preached self-reliance like Thomas Sankara. Again he was cut down by those who like the present evil narative. We cry out to the world for men and women of good conscience to see how this practice has kept africa where it is.The borrow and spend people aiding the external cartel maintain a vice like grip on soceity and hamper people for whom they have no compassion.Their gift is often to spurn crises to cover for their lack of ideas.Just like slavery was ended by concerted effort by decent people this evil must be tackled in a similar way.It will take such effort or nearly two billion people are condemed to lives of severe adversity.

We have men who will take their countrymen and women and turn them into slaves in their own homelands. It is absurd these men are not able to understand that when they borrow these huge amounts from outside they enslave their fellow citizens.Even far worse is that the monies are misapplied often at the insistance of the lenders.So a man from outside brings currency they earned working for one week and use it to purchase two years of hardwork and service of their own citizen.How foolish is that? Who needs these kind of people as leaders? I use this analogy to let our people understand who their enemies are.How could they care if they had no understanding of these issues? The men they choose are enslaving them, killing them.They make forty percent kick-back from contracts that will not be executed.And the money was borrowed! It is not invested but shared.It follows the payment is going to be difficult.These are choices these men make standing reason on its head! It is clear they and their families and cohorts are immune from the reality their betrayal creates for others.Time has come to let the world know any time we loose one of our own any stooges emplaced will face a very rocky reality.We must do what love for our people demands!It is time to keep the thieves from ruining more lives! We do not wish to keep enabling people without intergrity when there are many who do among us and are willing to serve our people.

African Renaissance.

The world saw the deserted streets of the former Eastern Nigeria.It is a referendum of a kind.It is like a voice vote. We conclude the "ayes" have it! Our communities in Eastern Nigeria will begin to rebuild the social structures as a nation of people.This time everything we do must include all our people cut away to spite us.All the people who share the culture and values we have as a people are invited to reunite with their kit and kin.We invite our people across the niger the people of "Ahaba" which they call "Asaba" and neighbors.You know they called them the Ika-Igbos. We invite our people from Igbanke, Afo, Idoma, Itolu,Igedde and Ufia to this glorious reunion of our peoples! Our GOD has worked this miracle out for us. If they did not start this new massacre we might never have risen up as one people.We would like them to show us the difference beween the Ijaw and the Igbanke or Ijaw and the so-called Ika Igbos,the difference between Annang and Effik.We have proved these are the same people. We have taken the wedge out carefully and tossed it away.The culture mark them as the same nation of people.

As a people with one destiny let us unite around the cause of peace and progress and forge a future that is clearly great! We like to thank our people for speaking through this event like the wise people they are.Even inspite of our own men who have become victims of deceit by both self and by contrivance.We believe the world has heard you very loud and clear.Let us wait for their response.Let us also see what will be thier reaction to the massacre by bandits and the nigerian army.And all this to a request for self-government by an indegenous people. As we wait for the world to acknowledge us let us begin the real work.After all we are a free people.We got no permission from any one to be part of the nigerian experiment. We are free to leave when we determine it does not serve our interest well enough or even at all! As some people create a religious nation for themselves we must ensure we do not become a colony of any aspiring local imperialist and taskmaster! Our people are by make and design a free people!

When the Zikist movement began it was quickly clear that it was the entity to spearhead the quest for independence.The people who felt trapped were delighted when the nationalist entered the fray.What the organization did was to give a structure to the resistance already within the soceity.The Zikist movement was not approved by all.Some people as always will complain but do nothing else.The Zikist movement presented a very formidable challenge to the colonialist. It forced the entity to deal with the fact that it was not a structure with foundations.It was an attempt to use that weakness ever so often.By making demands of resources the colonial government lacked it was made very vulnerable.When the movements activities required policing but the government lacked the manpower it was clear something had to give.Negotiation ensued! If the colonial government was not going to kill all the dissidents it made sense to hear them and seek a solution for the disturbance.The IPOB in choosing the model must use the same approach.The nigerian government does not have the ability to police nigeria even at the present time.It is the reason to the resort to brute and lethal force.The military has been stretched to its very limit.The government does not want to negotiate.It lacks the capacity to understand how these things work.We like to assure the people in the nigerian government who are planning elections when there is not sustainable structure that they deceive themselves more.Who wants to live in their nigeria? The youths in the space are moving on.The people calling for Biafra, Oduduwa and Arewa are all mostly youth.Where is the future in their plan?

We want IPOB to realize they are not alone.The reason for the focus on them is that the people in government are more focused on the resources in nigeria than on the country. It means in fact they are far worse than the mercenary.They have no sympathy for the system.It is their greatest weakness.The killings at Nkpor in Anambra and Lekki in Lagos prove this point.It was brutal. It was merciless. You do not treat your fellow citizens like that.Nigerian authorities do not worry that nigerian youths seek to migrate en mass.So long as the resources they need are there they are satisfied.The IPOB is a challenge to them because it threatens the source of their reward.Unfortunately for them just like the Zikist movement the IPOB is a structure that seeks to give people the way of escape.It seek to give them back their own normal environment. So the struggle is very organic.When there is danger and an escape is provided the people will naturally choose it.I therefore encourage the IPOB to stay very focused.The arrest of Nnamdi Kanu was not something he did not consider.It is that clear to me.He is a very thoughtful person.The only thing he would never know is how much he can rely on his friends.We are not suprised to hear all the misunderstanding. However prudence demands that the people who are frightened and disappointed at the news of his arrest must cheer up. It is how these things are. He will be free.He did not commit treason. Self defence is a human right.The massacre at Nkpor and at his father's residence show a determined effort to kill him.He is a human being. You try to kill somebody and he escapes and you claim they evaded arrest. Does a dead man appear in court? If he tries to ensure his own safety it is all right before God and before good men!

All he has done is ask for a referendum.He did not create Eastern Security Network. The outfit was not created to liberate Biafra.The Eastern Security network was a creation of the people of Eastern Nigerian in Diaspora who saw the carnage and brigandage the fulani was bringing into Eastern Nigeria.It is a reality they had challenged the government to deal with. But no action was taken.In a place where people had been massacred in the millions before you do not question whether the same people who had committed the crime are willing or capable.The people moved to protect their loved ones. It is noble.We ask the IPOB to not just focus of the people of Eastern nigeria within the present boundaries. They must also remember their people in Igbanke, Afo, Idoma, Itolu, Igedde, Ufia. The Ekumeku warriors who fought in "Ahaba" what they now call Asaba were from Aro-Chukwu. They had gone there to help defend their own.The Omu institution in Ahaba is wholesale institution of the Aro people.We are the Igbo people. Our GOD is our leader! We like to tell them also that the present day Nasarawa state was created by General Sanni Abacha to appease the Igbos after the death of Chief Ken Saro-Wiwa.They had gone to him and had warned him that something bad was brewing. Among notable Igbos who confronted then head of state was the Ikemba Nnewi..Dike Ogu Ndi Igbo! They had registered with him the feeling of marginalization of the Igbos in nigeria.The slicing away of the Igbo tribes into Northern nigeria by the colonial government was included in the list of grievances raised.They had recounted how nigeria was minimizing the Igbos and sqeezing them into non-existence.Ebonyi and Nasarawa was an effort to redress the complaint.Nasarawa is the home of Afo and Umu-Aro people. If you doubt me do not worry about dialect just look at their masquerades and their mode of life.We urge the IPOB to think like champions. Champions find a way to win.We are praying for all of you.

Your leader will be set free. He is not a criminal and he killed no one. It is impossible to kill somebody in nigeria while you are living in Europe.You must make the case.It might interest you to recognize the capability you have compared with when the battles were waged. In the Biafran struggle the exploits of Radio Biafra is nothing compared with what our gallant youngmen are doing with their cell phones. Their youtube channels and videos are watched all around the globe. So we are saying to the people in IPOB that you have everything you need and more to prevail.Your struggle is just. The african people must determine how best they will relate or the galantry of our founders was for nothing.The reason for their effort was to elevate our people.Now our youths are trooping out of our countries.And we have those who are unable to manage a tamed population bring in nihilists. What will they do to create peace and progress? Is it by burning everywhere and killing and kidnapping everyone in sight? You have a justifiable indignation. Our founders will be weeping in their graves.In some of the cases these countries are being run into the ground due to bad policies! We recall the glory days of the University of Nigeria at Nsukka! The days of the University of Ibadan and the Ahmadu Bello University. Look where we are today! Education is not even talked about at all. Some people in their excitement and misguided sense of patriotism are killing intelligent gifted youngmen on account of their ignorance.

Where is the future of such a soceity? Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe was thinking about the future. Not his own but the generations to come. Today we have people who care next to nothing about anyone but themselves and their "paddy men".The universities founded by Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe are not being funded by the states.They are not able for the most part. Perhaps their priorities might also be questionable.But the states are not equipped to succeed.All of them are now glorified releif centers.They are not even able to support primary education.Our youths are bitter and they ought to be.It seems nobody is thinking about their own future. We want to encourage you to stay focused. Your struggle is selfless and noble.And GOD is on your side. Many of you can relax in the countries where you have sought sanctuary.I will quote from the Book of the Psalms Psalm 137:5-6 of the (KJV) Vs 5 "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning". And in next verse V6 "If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy". We know where your character comes from. We ask you to keep your mission and maintain your vision.It is how a struggle works.Fight the good fight of faith.Fight wise and God's speed is our wish to all of you.

We had alerted the world to what we saw as a ploy to attack the people of Eastern Nigeria.We cried out as the nigerian government descends to the lowest in the history of the country.We have reports and videos of nigerian law enforcement going into churches to arrest people in Enugu state.The next step will be to start asking them to accept the faith of their captors! We demand this to stop immediately! If not it will lead to the destruction of the entire nigeria! We have reason to think there will be a response to this event thet might be very disproportionate due to the implication it carries! It is very provocative and no reasonable person ought to be behaving in such manner in a purpoted country! We had warned the antics of the government might lead to a complete breakdown of order.It is noteworthy that the government had masterminded the removal of a duely elected government in a state.In Imo state the government through a sharia chief justice removed a duely elected governor, declared the winner of an election by the electoral body the INEC. Since then the area has been thrown into bloodbath. Eastern region was very peaceful until this wicked act of government.We all are witness to the irony of this event in nigeria.

Evidence abound that suggests government is into sponsoring lawlessness including terror and banditry.And further uses the instruments of coercion in the state to intimidate, harass and waste lives. It was the same move in former Western Nigeria that brought down the first nigerian government.We are very suprised that a government headed by a man who himself has been no stranger to the problems of the country will be acting as an agent provocateur.The nigerian government has dispatched the military a digraded band of men filled with "repentant" Boko Haram terrorists to Eastern Nigeria to kill innocent people.We hear they are there to battle Eastern Security Network (ESN). We know they might not like the leader of the group. However it does not mean he represents anything evil. To the contrary he has tried to help highlight among the glaring inequity and contradictions of the nigerian soceity. We realize such activities are fraught with danger.The perpetrators will usually have a different idea of justice from the victims. It is a fact every fair minded person much make allowance for. In Igboland and Eastern nigeria equity is not just a word it is a way of live.The motto of the Igbo is: "Live and let live".

The ESN is the embodiment of this motto. They are there to allow ordinary people go about their lives. This was a group founded by people of Eastern Nigeria resident within nigeria and outside nigeria.It was in response to the killing, burning,raping by the bandits.Government had failed to do so for years!Instead they introduce threadbare stunts like "unknown gunmen" as a guise and excuse to unleash the army to full scale slaughter of citizens.Events like this one remind us about the plain spoken nigerian soldier General Sanni Abacham.We recall his words that any terror in the nigerian state or against it is sponsored by those in government is should last for more than 214 hours! It is therefore not suprising that Igbo youths and So now they have found the boots to come around to murder citizens who have kept their homeland safe from foreign gun wielding marauders! So the government of nigeria was indeed using the bandits to try to provoke a war.There is a goal to smear the Igbo people and make them a target.The fulani has ceased tincan Island port, but he is no vilain. He has ceased the crude in Ijawland and Burutu port is turned into private fulani use. The oil in warri belongs to fulani. Calabar is surrounded by bandits from Sokoto who are code named "refugees". But the Igbo is the enemy. The Igbo is used by nigeria to spew the spectre of terror. Something we have now alerted the rest of the world about before it began.And now they are in Igboland to provoke a fight.

We have bonded with other southerners this time. We were ahead of them and the world has caught them yet again in another goof-up! It is the reason we conclude the terror in nigeria is sponsored by government or agents and sympathisers.We have so many signs to support collusion.We have the army now helping the bandits! The military is withdrawn from fighting terror to fight and slaughter law abiding citizens.This reaction of government will hasten the growth of this group. It will not weaken it.We watch once more as this group of hardliners who have hijacked nigeria bungles yet another opportunity to forge unity and seek a peaceful resolution of conflict. We ask why this is their priority.We might be getting to the root of who is behind the genocide in nigeria. The world is about to find out who is sponsoring the terror in nigeria. The various statements credited to the British representative in Nigeria are very troubling indeed! We have seen no remorse for the loss of lives in the genocide of 1966 to 1970 which was aided by the then government in Britain. If we recall this whole event got worse since the discovery of gold in Zamfara state in North eastern nigeria.

It reminds us about how Eastern Nigeria lost four million lives between 1967 and 1970. Great price to pay for the oil found in the bowels of their Motherland! It is important to make the connection.Today we are witnesses to the large scale massacre in the North east of nigeria facilitated by Boko haram. We have proof this group is sponsored and supported by highly placed nigerians. Some how the problem in nigeria is around the newly found resource and the existing one. It has nothing to do with unity.We have some people we believe from outside Africa laying claim to the crude oil and gold in nigeria. And we have shameless nigerians and so-called leaders aiding the plunder! Poor law enforcement is slaughtering and being slaughtered in the ploy.Terrorists nicknamed bandits or trainee low-grade terrorists by the authorities are thrown in the midst for good sound effect! The lives are not important. The lives are purely collateral. Our people must wake up and defend their lives by all means.The soldiers in nigeria do not represent the nigeria we used to know.They now serve the "caliphate 12 sharia states.The other people there the southerners and middle-belters are very confounded and shut out.It is for this reason people like Hope Uzodimma, Bola Tinubu and now Dave Umahi are being recruited and courted.

Without them this thing is already over! No resource is spared to keep them humming for now.It means nothing to promise them the presidency where they will be infested with "rats" and murdered by cochroaches if they were allowed.But it is not even meant to go that far! First there is no way to surmount the confussion among the extremist renegades who are in control.Next is how the hell to refine the military with terrorist repentants acting as leak apertures.How a non-fulani will survive the vice-grip of a military with such level of infiltration is hard to see.The nigerian army had always suffered self inflicted attrition.The present level is far worse.The entity requires new direction and needs to be made less dangerous and prone to self immolation. It is the plight of an amorphous entity without ideals. It is not the kind of force to help maintain the nigeria the people are expecting. It has been changed to an expeditionary force by a would be conqueror.Before now many of them had perished through planned plane crashes,coups, counter coups, false accusations, murder and extra judicial executions. Today it has become even more perilous to be part of the entity.We plead with the United States government, the United Nations, the European Union and Human right organizations to prevail on the nigerian government or force it to withdraw the troops from Eastern Nigeria immediately.We call on men and women of goodwill around the earth to lend a helping hand and voice before this degenerates any further!

Quite often we listen to the politicians from the national assembly in particular on the television reel out a list of the problems of the soceity. The governors do this and everyone is used to it.Frequently they come out to lament "lack of adequate funds"! Since there are not alternative conversations these are matters that quite often inundate an already beleaguered citizenry.The people are treated to often sonorous long anthem of the problems of nigeria that dies out because the program has to end.Sometimes it will be the acrimonious debate of the combatants that aims to not find solution but faults in each other.Recently an attorney general of nigeria was heard comparing a murderous gang of men who entered nigeria illegally and are killing, abducting, raping and killing the citizens with business men from another tribe.Such a low blow coming from a man whose job it is to maintain order including unity! It gives no cause for great expectations.It is a let down that will cost him that office in other societies.But we know they all serve "Mr. president".So long as they protect and insulate him from "ungrateful" nigerians their job is complete.

The national assembly should not have been focussing on elections now. So many lives are being lost under circumstances that are very avoidable. The national assembly can ask the military not to go to kill citizens. It is part of their job. No one has the right to deploy the nigerian military like a boys scout yet they can kill and destroy lives. Such grave decisions must be weighed and made by reasonable people. The national assembly must appropriate this authority before the country goes up in real flames.If they fail it will be their greatest regret.We have a disaster on hand.We hear them talk of government. It appears they are not aware they are included in it.As the ones chosen to represent the people they constitute the beating heart of a democracy.We expect them to constitute a commission that looks into the conflicts in the country. It will not be a bad idea to bring in the lawyers and spokesmen in Afenifere,O'dua Peoples congress, Ohaneze, Indegenous people of Biafra (IPOB),Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF),Middle Belt Forum, and all the groups agitating today in nigeria.Why would the government shun them? Are they not citizens? If they desire to be heard what is wrong with that? Let them be heard! In other soceities these new ideas could transform soceity but not africa. In a situation of institutionalized servitude new ideas are treated as poison.Today in nigeria youths who demanded change in IPOB are being killed in broad day light by corrupt politicians while the world watches. The so called leaders do not understand how leadership works.When they need something they will come out and address the people and roll out the army with tanks and police to enforce it.The people will request their attention and get just numbing silence.A call on the phone will return a busy signal.Until they need something again!

It is not clear to them they can forfeit the right to do that.The mandate they enjoy comes from the people.It is the reason they are now very confussed when the people will not isten to them.For a very long time it has been their reaction to the people who elected them. We all know if they do what they should the swords will be sheated, the guns will be withdrawn from the streets, and peace will return.It is not wise to use gasoline to fight fire.It is what we see presently.The issues being raised are very structural and political.They are mainly constitutional and very existential.You must negotiate them.You have to negotiate them.It is what human beings do when such matters arise. European Union did not tell Britain the agreement which by the way Britain signed willingly was not negotiable.When the British people spoke and made their choice that settled it.The people are sovereign.The nationalities in nigeria demanding to be heard must be heard or the people who shun them have nobody else to blame but themselves when they seek alternatives.So those charged with the responsibility must seek and find ways to dischrage same. If they will not sit up and begin to address the issues arising from the present structural decay and deficiencies in nigeria the structure will collapse over them and the fatalities will be varied.It will not only be the poor people as usual.

We like to see the elected people empathise more with the population.Now thanks to them we have refugees in nigeria. They will call the fancy name "internally displace people" but they are still nigerians.How have they addressed such problems? The refugee camps have become havens for criminality and banditry.The host communities are themselves sacked.We have here a serious problem that can't be wished away.Elections are not the solution to these.We all know it.Most of the persons responsible for the confussion today were either brought into the country or armed by the people who are seeking elective offices.It is criminal to wash their hands off it and turn it over to larger soceity.As they refuse to do what is necessary Nature will not wait.People will look for alternatives and options.When it makes sense for them to move on they will.It is not something to use a military that will fight citizens rather than terrorist to combat.It will fail. The present focus of the people in leadership is a very troubling disconnect.It will be a mistake for them to think the people are not paying attention.

We see the present constitution review as a ploy to buy time.These men know fully well it will be rejected. All it is meant to serve is to allow the atmosphere for another excuse for an election to sustain the present fraud! It must be clear to them now it will not happen. An election under the present atmosphere is an incendiary bomb.Such a ploy will fail and turn disasterous perhaps.What is needed is a commission like the one headed by the eminent Jurist, Justice Oputa.Such a commision will propose how nigeria can be returned to the organic constitution that founded it. The commision could even be given the authority to bring the documents to date. An agreement does not age.What happens are disagreements. If nigerians have disagreed it will not be one side having its way and the rest towed along.Everybody moves on.It is how it works! If we want to move forward it must be as agreed.Let some people with knowledge huddle up and quickly propose how to bring the founding documents to date. The states are in regions and they replace the provinces.The present event could be used as input is such a process and that is how it might serve anything at all.Otherwise it is a big waste of time. And quite clearly a Middle Belt region is over due.Also self evident is that the Igbanke, Afo, Idoma, Itolu,Igedde and Ufia tribes must be in Eastern Nigeria. I can explain the meaning of all these words. These are people of the same nation as the Igbo and people of eastern Nigeria. Why they are not in Eastern Nigeria is an egragious aberation.(I refer those who want to know the meaning of a nation to consult the Oxford dictionary or wikepedia.) It is the most realistic solution and correct one at the moment.If this is again ignored nigeria has already been dissolved.Nobody needs any permission.There was none when the union was agreed to.It was an enterprise our forebearers accepted to try willingly. It must not comsume anymore of their offsprings.

We are not in a position today to make a new constitution.It is very impossible to make a new constitution in an atmosphere where most parts of nigeria are not even accessible due to conflict.We expect the very people who are in power through the constitution to change it.Had we such people in nigeria who would complain? But truth is we do not.It is clear the people are having so much fun.It is the reason they are not quite sure why the nigerian people are not! We will not expect salvation from them.Nigeria is such a place and quite a place.Why do we not even ask the students to score themseves in the West African School Certificate examination or even the Bar examination? We expect the men who were elected using a constitution to codemn it and change it for us! It is what Fela Anikulapo called the character of "upside down" and "Opposite People".Reviewing a document that has no credibility or that is even ilegal and fruadulent shows lack of character. Besides,in our own view it is not needful. If we do not honor the one made with such solemness as the founding one it is unlikely the one borne out of bloodbath and hubris will be honored. Constitutional processes are a very difficult processes especially on raw and sore nerves and it is costly to make a constitution and get it accepted.America the model for an ideal modern state has the founding constitution in nearly three hundred years of its existence.

Nigeria was founded by Britain and they almost specialized in constitution making. They just kept churning them out.It ought to have been a sign.But man were they determined to make it work! In backing out from the European Union the British teach us a very important lesson.Every union is not suppose to work.Nigerians have had so many constitution the list is a book! An ammendment to the american constitution took almost twenty years to complete. It is time consuming under normal circumstances.It is very sensitive and touches on existential matters.All these make it a proposition doomed before it begins. The present constitution is a big fraud and a good recipe for underdevelopment. Recent events where government declare citizens terrorists and foreign bandits "untouchable" makes the effort an attempt to give legitimacy to an enslavement. We have a government currently at war with citizens for daring to dislodge foreign bandits.Citizens are murdered by nigerian soldiers and the bandits are escorted to graze cattle in farmland of citizens. We wish the people spearheading the present charade luck.It is occassion to come out in parade while foreign bandits murder citizens in broad day light and the military shoot down "nyamiri"! and "christains".We see what people bereft of ideas can do with power.This one is a gory display. The attempt to stiffle indegenous independent entities is a recipe for disintegration and chaos.It is fraught with disaster!

The mortifying pictures of deaths, blood and murders, of mass graves and grief is awful.We like to remind the politicians who claim they are representing the Igbo people and the people of Eastern Nigeria to take a breath. The people are very strong and the intellectual depth and capacity within can run our own small world efficiently like it is around the globe.It is sad they prefer to beg than negotiate.You beg your master.But you negotiate with your peer.Nigeria is a federation or it does not exist.If somebody acts as though nigeria is not a federation react as if no such entity exists and you are within your rights as a humanbeing with some dignity! What it means is that the present attitude of government as though nigeria is colony of any particular clan will cause the nationalities to exert their sovereignty and flex it for effect! It is a federation after all. We remind those who serve in elective positions they are first citizens of their ethnic nations when there is doubt.It is sad they are the ones that brought the nigerian military that was routed by the barefoot jihadists in northern nigeria to come to our motherland to murder our youth.It will be on record against the people responsible.Their puport patriotism for a country they alone will sustain is pure servitude.They sacrifice four million lives, sacrifice oil and gas for sixty years, sacrifice progress as a people and beg to belong! How shameful is that?

It is not how unity is achieved. And we must not make a habit of consitution making. Some like to focus on how to clip wings. Naturally anything created to fly must fly.By nature eagles will fly even if reared among chicken.It is Nature.It is trigger for instability to try to stifle some people.If we are not able to agree we have to accept it as reality.How many more must die? There is no other agreement between the nations of nigeria to be one entity outside of the original constitution.We laugh as the clowns who think they are better politicians than Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe who checkmated the British with his co conspitator Chief Awolowo run themselves aground. It is not only disrespectful it is presumptuos and foolish. Yet again in less than ten years they prove democracy is not their thing! They threw away a founding constitution, the very document on which their oath to serve was predicated.And furnish their own, the one they prefer! That constitution is the only hope for nigeria.It is the agreement we have as a country. In it we have a "consitution" an agreement that founded nigeria.It is a fact that must carry a strong underscore! The regions had consitutions.The coup makers did not topple one constitution but five. All the regions had their constitutions. We need to fall back to that. We recall the Yoruba adage that "if one can't find his way forward at least he knows where he is and where he started". And the Igbo will say "if your help will be a source of trepidation and discomfort let me be"! We must stop wasting time.It is a precious resource.We have many citizens of nigeria who are in the space age. This contraption will not be able to keep them for long! It is going to be bursted and they will move on. It is how Nature works.It is not reasonable to stand against the current.Those who are happy talking about cows must be allowed to keep at it! They have that right and so do the ones who have other challenges.

Let me say this.If this step is not taken and done quickly nigeiria is already broken.We predicted all what is happening far back as two dacades ago.Many might recall the suggestion we made in 2002.We saw an opportune moment and a personality with the depth. We got slammed. We got called all sorts of names.We were reminded about our "level" and all that pedigree nonesense. Today we are vindicated big time! In fact we are the ones accused of trying to elongate Chief Olusegun Obasonjo,tenure. What we said then was this: We have a country that is free from debt.It is the best time to return it to the organic parts that are self sustaining.We said then a move like what happened in South africa will give nigeria the chance to return on track.We know the military would not wait for four years but for nearly forty years they could not fix what they perceived as so simple.We believe a lesson had been learned.It is really sad that politicians would rather settle for so called 1999 constitution. We mean a document given them by the same people who violated their oath and word of honor.It paints them with the same brush! If the present administration that has caused this descent to the bottom will not do anything to correct it we are not suppose to be a country much more a nation. Let us all count our losses and gains and move on.It is very dishonest to pretend to solve a problem as they wish to do. It is giving false expectation and they know it.

African Renaissance.

"We must not be blackmailed into killing the sharia idea.Sharia must be spread all over nigeria". This is a statement taken from an interview the present head of state of nigeria gave in the year 2000 granted to Freedom House Radio.Yet a couple of years later an Igboman like Chuba Okadigbo accepted the position of running mate in a general election."Oyi" as he was popularly called had abandoned his intellect.He descended to play the game of chicken to make some more money.And hear the man who was respected for his intellect abandon reason in search of raw power:"The Estabilishement might not allow us to Rule Now, but be that as it may, on a very good day, at the appointed time, Buhari will rule Nigeria. What I do not know, is whether I will be around when that happens. But even if am not there, (our own Chuba Okadigbo then turned to Buhari and said) please Muhammadu, move on and fear not! The vultures will gather against you, but you know what we stand for. Be strong and continue for you shall overcome!"! He lost his life shortly after. Okadigbo died trying to make his "friend" succeed! In 2018 June the 3rd his young son Obiajulu Jideofor died under suspicious circumstances in Maryland USA.Today we learn of the death of yet another of Chief Okadigbos children Pharoah A Okadigbo.A huge truck (the type used in transporting killer herdsmen to Southern Nigeria) crushed the man in Abuja.Exactly in line with how they operate.Eastern Region and her people must wake up.It is not a time to sleep.Our future is very badly threatened!Next time you see an Igboman or his brothers from Eastern Nigeria who is sick and suffering from intoxication and ascendency please intervene. It is the meaning of true love!We must not allow the spread of something meant to kill us all!

You Can't Change A Constitution: You Change Behaviour!

The nigerian government sometime ago stopped the teaching of nigerian history in all nigerian schools.So nigeria is a country with leaders that hate its own history. We know they did in southern nigeria schools.With sharia law in place in most of the core northern nigeria there is no way of knowing what obtains there as policy.The fogginess of such soceities make it hard for the law to be applied unifromly and evenly.We are not going to be able to save nigeria.Armoured thanks will not save nigeria.Armed soldiers who will not defend the people from bandits but terrorize them will not keep nigeria united.Some people have already destroyed it. And they are making sure what ever loop hole they leave that can herald peace is plugged.What they are trying to do is subjugate the rest of the population.Such an idea must be resisted by every means possible.Some of us fear it is much too late.If nigerians won against the military junta a few decades ago they can also win this one but most are just fade up.It seems much too hopeless.The military has finally been ceased by the people who for the entire life of the country have been on that mission. We propose the way out.What the rest must do is find their own method to exert and force authority. The forming of the vigilante groups is a necessary first step.It must not be the end or they are willing hostages.The nigerian military is so compromized words are not able to express it. As we speak the military is being purged of southern officers of christain persuation.It is clear the nigerian government has waged the war against Boko haram with no desire to win. Presently how to crush ESN a vigilante established to flush out bandits in Eastern Nigeria is the focus of the nigerian army and police forces. We have a situation where foerign armed bandits infiltrate communities kidnapping, killing and rampaging. No nation of people will accept such a reality.

The government of nigeria declares that banditry is not against the nigerian state. In other words fulani bandits are above the law! According to a government spokesman ESN is more dangerous than terrorists. ESN is a local vigilante founded by citizens in a federation to protect their own communities.Quite clearly the governnment of nigeria does not understand politics.Opposition includes wide disagreements.It is aimed to force dialogue and concensus. In every democracy it is the norm. Rather than embrace dialogue the nigerian government is killing its own citizens. The governors are reduced to bench warmers and cheerleaders like the other elected people.The nigerian senate and house of assemly from time to time issue statements just to praise "Mr. president" for doing nothing.The states have no way to exert authority outside of the central government in a so called federation.The governors in these states chose to defer to the federal government in order not to fall out of favor.Presently the guise of fighting the ESN is being used to earn a conquest yet again on the people of Eastern Nigeria. It is one two many. After loosing four million lives a people get tired of the noise of certain people and their war mongering ideas! We believe that it has become very pertinent to ask some people to seek to understand what it means to be citizens of a country. It has been made clear to us that their loyalties are much more overarching than their citizenship.To that extent it is evil to hold others to rules to which they themselves are not subject.It has been made clear that some people in authority in nigeria are more concerned about how to accomodate their "kindreds" who are not nigerians than for the other nigerians.It is not even nepotism.It is far worse and there is no word for such in political discuss.It is unacceptable and defeats the idea of having a country and bounding it by law both international and national.It is what is at stake in nigeria and it runs very deep.In other to prevent challenge they founded Boko Haram.

It is very clear Boko Haram was set up for such an end.As the people from southern nigeria talk and dither the others execute their plans systematically.We hear recently the founders of Boko haram use helicopters to deliver amunition, victuals and all manner of needs to them.We received videos of nigerian southern military officers sent to the war front with no amoured tanks and no food supply.These soldiers are sent to Zamfara. In zamfara Boko haram boast the most sophisticated weapons.Remember there is gold minning in Zamfara. These Christians Middle-belt and Southern military men are put up there to be massacred. They knew it and have cried out for help.It is the reason we are calling for help.It would not be news but for the fact that the same people who do this are going around nigeria pretending to be peace makers.They are in Eastern Nigeria carrying out a massacre in the name of peace. We remind and refer the world to the Oputa Panel findings on massacre of the people of Eastern Nigeria. But we hear the empty talk about peace.It is a guise to lull the people into a false sense of security. Nigeria is a country without individuals who can force the people to sit down together and have a conversation. It is a nation without heroes.The opportunity politics affords other countries can't work here due to deep fault lines.The man they chose as president has proved incapable of doing so.The elected houses and their leadership can't either.

The people must rise to their own feet and reclaim their soceity from these criminal minded corrupt murderers.The last Senate and House of Assembly were led by two people who by comparism are outside the league of the present ones. The two houses at the time were clearly independent as requird by law.The presidency has been ceased by foggy and shadowy characters.The first lady herself alerted the country over three years ago.Today her prophecy is eerily coming to pass.Wake up the nations of nigeria and reclaim your sovereignty or become subjects of a new threatening dominion! It is sad to hear leaders pleading to reclaim their sovereignty as a people. It is not possible to loose your sovereignty just because you willingly went into an association. If you start a company and invest in a business and it proves unviable you do not loose your identity to the business.You move on.You are not a corporate entity you have created. Nigeria is not the individual nations that make up the country. These can regroup in any other ways and reconfigure in whatever more combinations.It is the meaning of sovereignty.

We had earlier told some of the people who personalize issues to study a little more. The problems and space will remain after they are long gone.God truely is not in need of haters and their schemes.God desires and helps good ideas.The United States of America and the the rest of Europe chose to rehabilitate Germany after the second world war.The people of the United States whose youth were mowed down in Normandy on D-day passed a Bill in 1948 to help rebuild the entire Europe including their adversary Germany.In total the United States spent more than thirteen billion dollars in this effortr.At todays value you know that was a lot of money.We see in this the way true leadership works.The United States realized that without its allies it was economically and militarily vulnerable.Besides it recognized that war is always an aberation.What we all truely desire is peace.It is what we must work and toil to sustain.Coming back to nigeria we find the difference in thinking.After making lofty pronouncements at the end of hostilities we see the marks of war and even the causative factors still today.The personalities in the hostility from one side are all dead. Interprete it however you choose.Those on the "victorious" side are all well and hearty.It is the first jarring sign.The promise of rehabilitation and reconstruction never occured.How could it with the kind of hatred spewed by those in a position to hinder it.We can still feel hatred from their words and utterances.

The idea of Biafra makes some people boil over. We like to tell them their anger frightens no one.We know they are not being patriotic. No it is not because they are patriotic.They mistake their greed for patriotism.What they have wished is to do away with the people of the area "so the oil companies can have unfettered access to the oil resources in the area." I did not make this up. One politician made this suggestion from the floor of the nigerian senate.In his head the people occur with hydro-carbon deposit and one of the two happen to be more precious.It just was not the people.The people could be expended for precious crude oil and the barrel dollar.It is the solution this politician offers and proposes.Ask him to move from his own homeland and it is a different matter.If we wanted solutions we had already suggested one nearly twenty years ago.We proposed then a new region.Today it is clearly the way out. At this time of the initial proposal the sharia idea had not formalized as it is today.The sharia states made their case as they have always done.They do not ask anyone for permission. So now create the Middle-belt region or state.Call it whatever the people choose.Call the sharia states Arewa Region and state. Call Western Region Oduduwa state.Call Eastern Region Biafra. The former Mid-west region will be called the Bini region.Each of these regions that are now true federating units could rightly be called states.Each will have a duely elected premier.The former begging states within will become the provinces in the states.If this is done there is a country that is based on its founding principles and very viable. It will be on its feet again and kicking.Each of the states begins to develop its own economy at its own pace like it was before. It is how other people solve problems.If this is not done those who create hinderance must recognize it is impossible to tame or stop the whirlwind.Solve a problem or nature will take its course.

These are the days of impunity in the nigerian space.In the days when the military "ruled" nigeria there was no Youtube and the internet was not there.If a politician whether he wore the "Khaki", "Camouflage" or the "Agbada" gave interview to the media whether the tube or print he controlled the narative.In the sense that if he is not reported in favorable light he will send the boys to the media house to confiscate everything. And the house is warned never to repeat the offending report ever again.It was the approach. It happened quite often. And they called it a free press.It was "press freedom!" The press was free to report what the authorities like.We had been treated to the theatre of this absurdity.It is not new.What is new is the new low level of this absurdity.It has become worse by the reality of actual liberty of those who provide reports and the variety of the sources and locations.If a politician makes a mistake he is toast.If he sticks his foot in his mouth there will be pictures and movies of it.Before he is aware millions have already seen it.Very sad! It is not something they like at all. We all can see why these people always want to "rule". It is clear why they hate the law.It is their joy to be in law enforcement. But they hate to conform to the law. They want to be in a position to control the law instead.We see this motive as so inherently corrupt!

Somebody was shown in an interview in the nigerian press comparing nomadic cattle fulanis to spare parts dealers.If we take this on the face of it one can see how off the mark this man is.It is a cheap tribalistic stunt.He is fulani.The people who deal on spareparts in nigeria are mainly the Igbo people.Recently nigeria admits there has been an influx of fulanis from around africa into nigeria at the invitation of certain unpatriotic nigerians.These are nigerians whose ethnic loyalty far outstreches love of country.And we find them in high places in nigeria especially of recent. Many of them have homes in Niger, Chad and so on. We are not talking summer homes.We mean homes! And we hear they are deity over there.Nigeria is just their workshop. What they are doing in nigeria much more attain such positions of leadership one is hard put to explain.Why such people do not seek to serve where their loyalty is suprises and disturbs many of us.The attorney general of nigeria is reprimanding the governors of Southern Nigeria for enacting laws to curb the menace of these invaders who have traumatized nigerian citizens.Many of them kidnap citizens, rape women in their farmlands, kill the men who challenge them. Ogun state media showed men with their right hands cut off by these invaders. And they were not few who suffered this savegery in their own homeland and farmland.

And this happened in their own farmlands I have to repeat.All of this are not normal to the nigerian soceity.The attorney general has the affrontry and temerity to compare this people with the Igbo business people.The Igbo business hire locals and build their communities and it is something the nigerian people can agree on.The Igbos rent houses in the cities and pay rents.They pay taxes and contribute to communual life.We have some people who will reside in the forests and invade soceity as they choose. Their cows disturb the flow of traffic and the life of citizens. The people had tolerated all of that. But you bring in terrorists and killers to intimidate them.No responsible leader must allow such impunity.For once the governors are right! We often hear the adage that water finds its own level. We find a man with such impaired ability for deduction in a position where such is a requirement.You can place a man on top of mount olympus but he will crash from there if you let him to his own devices. The attorney general is wrong as can be. And people like him and the chief justice and head of the nigerian supreme court have destroyed nigeria. It is for the kind of impunity these men put on display we have calls for dismantling the system. If there is no way to change these things and alter the trajectory, I am afraid the calls will carry the day.No world power can make a people who feel traumatized not resist. It is not a natural thing to expect.

We like to show the world how low nigeria has gone.We have a man who has no idea what his job entails.As the attorney general his job is to defend the rule of law.He should have defended the governors who quite clearly were within the bounds of their authority.He instead went with his sentiments defending criminals.Let us flip the coin! In Northern Nigeria where there is Sharia law we have the HISBAH forces.We see the destruction of the businesses of southerners in these areas that will not attract even passing comment from these misfits.We see piles and piles of liquor and alcoholic drinks destroyed every time and no person brings down hell.These businesses loose millions of dollars in revenue due to no fault of theirs in their country where the law should have protected them. But they were made victims.Nigeria is suppose to be a secular country. And a Yoruba, Igbo or Ibibio investors will have their liquor shops vandalized by HISBAH and no compensation is paid by the so called federal government. So many states have been paying compensation for cattle and the farms vandalized is not anything anyone discusses.The attorney general has thought if he picked on the Igbo people there will be no problem.He could not be more wrong.The whole nigeria now know what they are doing. The world also is aware.

It is wrong to set them at variance with people with whom they have lived peacefully.It is not in their interest and they know that.The hausa is a victim of the evil machination of these men. It has no safe haven.Everyone except this select few is abused and vandalized.The TiV, the Jukun, Igbira, Idoma, Effik, Ijaw,Isoko, Edo and so on are in this together. The governors who switch to other party are afraid.All of the governors and senators especially from the former Easern Nigeria who switch party have come under severe pressure.The boiling point temperature in the region was infused deliberately through the election hubris master minded by the supreme court.In insuing confussion armed bandits were smuggled into the space.The governors are threatened from more than one side. They have been surrounded by terrorists and angry frustrated youths and citizens.Governing under such circumstances is really hard. Much more so for the ones that never really intended to.We are faced by a present danger! We ask our people to know redemption is near. No war is necessary and there will be none.We just disagree with these unpatriotic, unsympathetic and morally bankrupt set of people. It is not an Igbo versus fulani issue.Nigerians know what the difference will be if the Igbo was to be at the helm.But that is not even the issue.We are saying some people are very incompetent and they have destroyed the soceity. We are saying there is inherent corruption in their reasoning.There is nobody else to blame but themselves.When a man who has not mastered how to drive takes a muscular 250 horsepower sports car and takes off on a spin and crashes it he is absolutely to blame.Mr.attorney general you are in the wrong job.Go and take your seat with your brothers in Myetti Allah. Seat beside the guy with the Abacha style sunglasses.It will be a perfect seat for you!

We have the responsibility as reasonable human beings to alert the world to a human catastrophy being fermented in the nigerian space.Some people with very small minds have been trying to unravel the nigerian political space for some time.The Eastern Region of nigeria is one of the most peaceful places on the face of the earth. It is a reason for the progress and the prosperity in the area.Quite clearly it is the reason for the envy that drives the whole dynamics of the politics of nigeria.It is very self evident the present government has been trying to reverse history and even rewrite it. It has done every thing in its power to infiltrate this hitherto peaceful population with the view to distabilize it.It does not help that the men behind these schemes are people with the world view of conquest and domination.Their attempt to conquer rather than collaborate with others is the reason for the numerous conflicts in africa.The government of nigeria has descended on a very peaceful population killing, abducting, raping, maiming and plundering citizens.We hear they want unity. But they will not initiate dialogue. Instead the government and its agents have unleashed a full scale slaughter of the people of Eastern Nigeria! Any politician in the old Eastern Region who aids the murder of our youths will answer to the people of the space in due course. Any such politician who chooses to work for interests outside of those of the people will not blame anyone else.We hear the politicians are aware that fulani and their foreign terrorist friends come into our communities and cease our youths and take them away under the pretext of seeking nigerian unity! We will warn the federal government there will be very serious consequences.We saw images of youths shot in shallow swamps a few years ago, we do not have a count of youths killed recently in Lekki. We are not stupid. What kind of unity is this? Is dialogue precluded in their own method?

How are they going to attain unity or peace in this way? It appear they aim for the quiet of the graveyard. We believe we alerted the world to this tendency early enough. No excuse is possible this time.It appears they have gone back to their plan to wipe the people out again.It resulted in the loss of four million lives.Quite clearly the shores of Europe will soon begin to feel the effect of what these people are doing.It is clear to us it is the outcome they seek. It is the real agenda. Some people who peddle hate and who use it to further their other goals would like to see such human problems in Europe. It helps the populism rhetoric and feeds it like gasoline in fire.It is not anything these marauders understand. It is not a local problem.It is as international as any problem can be.The world must force the nigerian government to abandon the massacre of its own citizens.Nigeria is withdrawing soldiers fighting terrorists who have destroyed the economy, reputation and future of the country and are sending them to Eastern Nigeria.Some youths are demanding self government. It is not a crime in any soceity. But in nigeria the government that budgets on loans and borrowed money will kill youths demanding a better future.This priority will astound any leader anywhere else. But it is the kind of choices these people make even in every other area of life. Men with suspect understanding presiding over two hundred million lives and wrecking absolute havoc.If the government will not stop the massacre there is need to create a safe haven for the citizens of the area. The international community must insist upon that before European streets are flooded with helpless people seeking safety.It is the only solution to the incessant resort to mass killings and plundering of the people of this area.

The Struggle For Right of Way: cattle Invasion:Abuja Nigeria


HERE COMES THE POLITICIAN WHOSE OFFICE IS THE SOURCE OF DEATH FOR HIS OWN PEOPLE!

Politics is a call to serve the people being represented. It is hard to understand how a politician will insist upon remaining in office when his office and the way to it is littered with the corpses of his own citizens. When the stink of the dead will not allow him to get to the office. We call on the appointed governor to do the honorable thing immediately.It is not likely that he can find an army that can change the situation.The army he is relying on is avoiding a duty by running away and instead placating Boko Haram a bunch of bare-foot untrained jihadists.Indeed right now it seems they have an unwritten deal in place from all we can see. Using his brothers and sisters as human shield is evil and unconscienable and will not save the official in question.No type of human shield can properly protect him and his family from the coming hell that is threatening.We warned him the aim and goal of the scheme is to distabilize Eastern Nigeria. The people who created a sectarian soceity against good advice found out it is no paradise.The difference between what they did and what makes sense is what they are eager to destroy.We urge the federal government to understand the position of extreme elements within government.It is a mistake to declare a war in Eastern Nigeria.The country will be the looser.The killing of innocents youths who are just frustrated with soceity is the fault of this government. It is shedding innocent blood.Its bad policies have created these harsh realities.The people who push the government into these extreme positions created the unacceptable events government is faced with. The Supreme Court is headed by one such.And we call on the man to do the honorable thing now.He should resign. Quite clearly he created the bloodbath in Imo State.The two men must resign their positions for their lack of honor and intergrity.Most importantly the man who benefitted by this egregious "hokery pokery"!

If he meant to serve the interest of the people this is when to show it. We wish he had listened to the call to resist the trojan horse.Now it is clear to him.It would never have been possible for the nigerian army to find the reason to fully invade Eastern Nigeria and spoil a people without cause.The IPOB are asking for self-Determination.Nigeria is suppose to be a country of authonomous regional nations.Where then is their sin? We advise the politicians in Nigeria to think about their own future.It is not possible that any person will kill innocent people for power and be guiltless.It is clear the government is not interested in peace. Quite clearly it is the government creating and fermenting the conflicts.The Supreme Court reversed the outcome of an electeion announced by the legal authority. When did the court become the means of attaining office in a democracy? Is that suppose to be a competition with the ballot box? Again it is all government! And one will with anguish lament such a disaster upon a people.We wish our people listened more.We wish they understood more.It is impossible to be a dog and a man at the same time.The people who abandoned the platform a person of vision provided for them are the reason our youth are being slaughtered now in their mothers' kitchen.

The honor they chose will live far beyond their shortened lives and we will never forget their supreme sacrifice. On the other hand those who choose masters over God will end up as dogs! No master will die for his or her dog.Our God shall deliver His people! We know he is the source of our every victory. We do not have to fight for the God we serve.He vindicates the cause He favors.Do not ask me about the last time.If the reason for the maltreatment is the last time it has angered Nature. As the nigerian authority shed the innocent blood of our youths it must be clear to them they are grossly in error.As always they again do everything in their power to foreclose any chance for dialogue and peaceful resolution of the causes of these unending conflicts.And all the problem emanate from the same source.It is the greed of a few who pillage soceity for just themselves. We tell our people to mourn our youths and make it an earth shaking event like the mourning of the Iva valley miners of November 18 1949. It was a single event that galvanized the people of Eastern Nigeria to end colonialism.Once again our brave youths have taken evil head on as their forebearers.Every time the agents of the government take a life of our youths the people must respond with a resounding rejection by mourning the death as an abominable act against the land and its people. They will not be slaughtered like the nameless when we all watch helpless.They are in their own community.Why would they be killed when they violated noboby? Nigeria or not they are our own and mean the world to us!

QUO VADIS NIGERIA

I learnt of the attempt to withdraw the personal security details of politician in Southern Nigeria with great alarm. Even the governors are not spared.We are talking about men who are chief executives of states. Is any zone of nigeria safer than Eastern Nigeria? So again they cease the governor of Ebonyi state doing their number on him. We have the answer though! Are we to assume that the APC and their Imo State Supreme Court election and its fallout has fully worked the intended magic? This events underscores our argument the federating units and peoples must know how to defend themseves.It is possible for a government to go full renegede.Since governors are elected by the people the Inspector general of police has unwittingly approved the default of the governors falling back to the electorate for protection! Failure of which there is full anarchy being spurned in Southern Nigeria.The question is why? The Inspector general of police appears to be fully implementing a plan.We recall What Obadiah Mailafia (the former CBN deputy) said the escaped Boko Haram explained will happen this year. We recall he said the plan is to kill top ranking members of soceity to cause confussion.Now we have unknown gunmen. The people who are clamouring for self determination and a better and more equitable soceity are declared terrorists.

Even the colonial government never took such severe steps.But we have clueless men who call themselves leaders foisting hell on their own soceity and fellow citizens.We watch as they further complicate the predicament of nigerians people.We recall the British Colonial government negotiated more than four constitutions prior to the one that ushered in independence.How can government say it will not negotiate soceiety? Some people are in the wrong job. Why have these men equated the call for self determination to rebellion? And whereas Boko Haram which is a full rebellion is pampered and its members rehabilitated those who are calling for a more equitable soceity are being massacred.The people who kill and rape and pillage soceity are rehabilitated and rewarded with membership of the armed forces, the elite authority for protection of life and property.Something is very wrong. It is their actions that are actually leading inexorably to the disintegration of the country.The nigerian police must know it will be a mistake to abandon the nigerian people and side with Boko Haram and the extremists.

The extremists will not win. They never do on the long run.The people of the nigerian space will overcome these criminals who want to destroy the soceity that made them rich and "successful". Now the citizens are called "collateral".One governor actually called his citizens "collateral" who could be expended in the fight against bandits.It makes one wonder the kind of mindset of a leader who would think of sacrificing law abiding citizens for a criminal,terrorist, bandit. One wonders why the bandits were invited into the country by these same people. We have youths being killed in their villages while foreign marauders are running a show of horror.We have a country of endless contradictions.Why are the governors from southern nigeria being punished? Is it because they demanded restructuring in response to the yearnings of those they represent? Is it because they banned open grazing for same reasons.Why would a governor allow for a situation that places the pasturing of animals over the safety and lives of those he represents? So the governors are being threatened by gun totting soldiers who do not know the sources that feed them could soon dry up? We see what the governors are dealing with in a country suppose to be a federation. Now we see why they have not been able to serve the people they represent.We now see the blatant arrogance, arrant nonsense and intimidation they have to put up with.

What we need to see happen is a follow-up meeting of the other representatives, the senators and the house of assembly members.It is how they give impetus and moral support to the decision of the governors. We hope they do this without delay. It is how democracy works.It does not work with AK47 riffles.What the government of nigeria is practicing is not democracy. It is called tyranny.Whether it is the thousands of criminal men armed to the teeth we saw in the forests of Ondo State or now the combat ready soldiers in Imo state what we see is abuse of authority and power. And it stinks! The governors from northern nigeria can meet everyday and it is all right.Myetti Allah can meet everyday and make proclaimations and order the government around and it is all right. Once the people from the south meet there will be sanctions as though they are little pupils in a kindergaten class.We warn these people that these men represent indegenous sovereign ethnicities who willingly participate in the nigerian experiment. If the rigours of the experiment becomes awful they might have to reconsider! The soceity is sliding into full dictatorship and it could trigger various kinds of reactions. Already we hear the calls for severance with the usual source of the pain.We remind the culprits how such events works in places such as the nigerian space!

SOMEONE IS FUNDING THE TERROR IN NIGERIA

The nigerian state has been systematically plundered by a very determined group of people. But they have maintained a straight face and mouthed unity while at it.It must no longer fool anyone.We all remember NITEL, NEPA, NPA, CBN and on and on the list goes.These are all run by men who become richer than nigeria.Some of these entities have been milked to death.Such entities include : NITEL, Nigerian Airways, Nigerian National Shipping Line and so on.We had appealed to the authorities in nigeria to commence work in rebuilding nigeria for many years.The regional government were more accountable and helped the people a great deal.The present system has no way to hold leaders accountable. Once elected they are thin gods! For so many years we have appealed without success to those in authority to return the soceity to a place of financial prudence and independence. The founding constitution provided those kinds of checks.Not so for the 1999 one, the decree is just mainly an exclusive list.It just requires the people to stay way from anything that will make them economically independent. The fraud of 1999 has all the promises to citizens taken away through a kind of disclaimer more or less protecting public officers for misrule.It is not worth my time.I have no respect for it.It is not the subject matter.Just go take a good look at it anyone who cares. It is an absolute fraud! In the United States of America the salary of the president is known and so is the salary of any political position.We asked that a sincere effort be made to erase the idea of looting and a mindset of plundering.It is insane to plunder ones own soceity.But we were ignored.Today the plunderers are turning on soceity.Now they are spiting soceity with their blood soaked wealth.They now want it all.It has been nearly two decades since we have failed to move the conscience of our politicians.The criminality has gone on without hinderance.It suprises me there is a frustration with the instability resulting from the unrelenting gorging and gastric overindulgence.

Now we have terrorists and killers all around nigeria imported by politicians to ride to power and thereafter throw them into the communities.It is foolish not to anticipate the mayhem resulting from their unpatriotic behaviour.It is a shame they are the ones accusing citizens and requiring them to sit still and be massacred.We see bandits dig up weapons from the ground.How can they have these sophisticated weapons in a country where the rest are not allowed even the most modest? It is clear some people have been preparing for a conflict.It is the reason for the lack of movement inspite of the numerous demands. It is not what the rest of Nigeria was looking forward to.However to ignore this development will be the worst mistake any group of nigerian will make.The men who have entered our communities have no regards for life.Our communities must band together and defend themselves.We ask the people of Eastern region to insist on self-determination.Nothingless will do.It is the most basic form by which they can survive.The nigerian soceity has been completely vandalized.Heartless murderers are on the loose.Rebuilding will be impossible with the constant nuissance from them.It can't be done with the distraction of these people who prefer anarchy and fatalistic turbulence.

"MINORITY QUESTION AND RIGHTS IN NIGERIA"

It is time to seperate truth from fiction.The African continent has one distinction.The people have not engaged in the practice of large tribes swallowing up smaller ones.It is not the practice of the african people.The people who are foreign to the african environment do not understand this truth.We started to trace the origin of certain problems now rearing up its ugly head threatening to derail the African development agenda.We see the threat as coming from external influences and forces.Being we are trying to rebuild from the ruins of these influences it is not desirable for those clutching them to be in the fore front.The idea of some people seeing themselves over others always lead to a very bad place.History is replete with the skeletons and ashes from it.It is one reason we call on true African to rise up and reclaim their true heritage.It is something they can teach the rest of the world. It is hard to miss the fact the world saw Nelson Mandela and were struck by his morality and courage.Before him was another African taken to America to become a misionary.The man instead became the first true African liberation fighter.He was the founder of the African National Congress(ANC) in south Africa. This Zulu from Natal was called Isaka Seme (or Pixley Isaka Seme,he was adopted by a missionary Stephen Pixley ).His speech in a debate which was published in April 1906 in the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle and Manchester Guardian in the United Kingdom is worthy of mention.Also worthy of mention was the fact he was only in his twenties at this time.He titled the famous speech " The Regeneration of Africa". In this speech he reminded the world that Africa was not a desolate or wasteland with no culture.To the contrary he said Africa can teach the world a thing or two about mutuality and coexistence from its rich heritage and culture.

I wanted to make this point before returning to the issue of minority rights among the african people.The African people have actually been able to keep the cultures of both small and big tribes intact.It is not very common.Returning to Nigeria the politicians who fought for the independence of nigeria knew the need for building a community.They succeeded in their quest for independence due to this uncommon strength.Chief Anthony Enahoro is not Yoruba.However it is undeniable he pushed the agenda of the Action Group harder than anyone else besides the veteran Chief Awolowo himself.In the NCNC the very indomitable Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, Chief M.T Mbu and Magaret Ekpo were the anchors of the party yet they were not Ibo.It is the agenda of the oppressor to sew the seed of discord.When there is good leadership these things are accounted for and treated with the delicate care they deserve.Nations and people are united by things outside of language.The United States of America the richest and strongest country in the world is an idea not written in volumes of paper.It is the ideal of the humanity of every human person.Ideals and goals are the things that create unity always.It is true for any situation including nations.We truely believe the people of Eastern Nigeria and western Nigeria can become great nations.So also can the twelve states in the north that have united around religion.We truely wish them good speed! We are all africans.What they must not do is to try to force anyone to "unite" with them.It will destroy their ideal and goal.Any group that wish to work together must determine these goals and ideals and the imperatives of their union including morality.The killing must now stop.

"UNEASY LIES THE HEAD UPON WHICH IS A CROWN"

We watch fulani settlements shown on the internet through google map as they grow in number all across Eastern Nigeria! It is now obvious why these crop of governors were selected.With the history of the fulani and the man in Aso Rock this is a worrying development.How on earth can they account for these people? As citizens? These people can receive anyone anytime even an entire army from the air or land.They can do anything from such places where they exist in seclusion. No wonder they are unsettling the most peaceful place there is.What type of relationship will this be called? While our governors sleep at night they can overrun the entire space.They now own the army, police and every other institution of coercion of the country.How could our leaders exhibit this kind of negligence? These people do not only take away the land they also take the liberties, way of life and safety of our people.The question then is asked:What is the job of government? With these settlments and the military and police controlled by fulanis why do the governors think anyone can take them serious? Can anyone believe the nigerian army does not know these settlements and who lives in them? Our governors might already be haboring Boko Haram! We are talking about Fulani cities in Eastern Nigeria!

The ESN is not only desirable. We conclude it is required and necessary.The ESN must also be well equipped.Presently our people are not responding as one would have expected. Without them the Igbos and their relatives in Eastern Nigeria have lost their wonderful heritage.The carelessness of these so called leaders is very frightening! Every single one of them wants to be president of nigeria. And they drop their guard and jettison common sense. We ask the begging question: "where is the redeeming value of their type of leadership?". Why are they recruiting their own brothers as human shield? It is selfishness taken to a new level.We plead with them to make the so called "Ebube Agu" part of their personal detail.They will just become objects of target practice for nigerian soldiers otherwise.They will be slaughtered and ESN will be blamed just to disrupt the community.The federal government planned something like this for the area.We pleaded with them not to go through with it.They left it in the hands of our own so called "leaders" and they gladly comply. We find it appalling.It is very sad. Now the confussion in Northern Nigeria is being planted for the peace loving and community building people of Eastern Nigeria by their clueless leaders! Of course at the behest of the marauders who aim to plunder every place they put foot on.We know the people who worked very hard for the fulani outposts in Bayelsa, Imo and Abakaliki and Akwa Ibom. These outpost is where all the amunitions are buried awaiting the orders. Our governors are taken by their own ego in the face of mortal harm. We urge them to move quickly.There is no time for prevaricate and banter.You have murderers at your door steps.Our people are not a conquered people and are not about to become one. These men ought to have thought these things through. As other people watch them make big joke of themselves the actual victims are our people. How can they preach unity to a people who have paid for everything that has sustained nigeria from the very start? Why are they now required to also give their lives? These men must please think. As for some of the "chiefs" and whatnots from southern nigeria who make noise about unity and one country it is a shame.You must look around you and see the tightening noose aiming for your throat! They say a word is enough for the wise.

If you do not see the country is already divided with two different systems of law and jurisprudence you are not paying attention. If you are waiting for when your hand will be cut off for the liquor you imbibe cupiously it will soon come. By God we honor our traditional institutions and will ensure they endure. It is our heritage. We request of them to look at the situation and use good judgement. Our youths require their reassurance.If they do not see the looming danger it will overtake everyone.The government of nigeria has an ethnic cleasing agenda. Something some so called leaders have become too comfortable to notice.It is now very evident.It is sad to watch people being displaced in Igboland and Eastern Nigeria.To watch our people carrying their belongings and scampering makes some of us very sad indeed.Some people will pay for it.The quote above does not say "Uneasy lies the head.....unless you are a politician from Eastern Region of nigeria".The source of this new disgrace and dehumanization must be found and rooted out.We are watching and there are going to be repercussions.

How can the Nigerian government continue to make this kind of mistake always and still expect anyone to stand with it? If the ESN claims its avowed goal is to protect the citizens of the area. What is the problem with that? We all are aware people are not able to go to their farms and look for food for their families.And government has done nothing except dither and find and make excuses. Soon as the people themselves find a solution the reluctant and unwilling warrior governors or administrators swing into action. Only they are doing so against their own. All their effort is to thwart what seems to be a very good solution. It is shocking that on one hand the Abuja government (not federal by any measure or standard) is so focused on killing members of an organization clamouring for self-determination.While on the other we are being treated with a tacit approval of massacre by the nigerian government in cohort with an ethnic group focused on a discredited hegemony.

The government kills and the other groups ramp it up some more. It is clear the nigerian government either on purpose or anything else has failed to stop all manner of terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, killer herdsmen all of whom are related to the people at the helm.What is unity where one side has no worth and value? So why target a peaceful region, intending and doing everything to opend it and create anarchy? It is Western Region and the center all over again. We hear "wetie" again. And as usual everything goes up in flames and smoke.We watch as incompetence ceases the country and its people in a never ending choke hold. It appears this time their wish will come to pass.It is that nigeria is blown apart into its real and natural constituencies! It is clear they never wanted a country much more a nation.You do not "inherit" human beings. Nobody "bequeaths" nations of different people to anyone.What is the person? GOD? It is a terrible thing to say. They are not articles of possession.Their former leader called fellow citizens an "inheritance" and never appologised. Again we see a loading up by men of similar mindset!

MANIFESTATIONS OF EVIL IN THE AFRICAN SPACE

It is not that one wants to be pessimistic.An observation is in order.We lost very recently the former Secretary General of the United Nations. We are talking about an African with panache, finesse and great intellect.In tow are five african heads of state or former heads of state.Among them the most brilliant, thoughtful, charismatic and compassionate. I know there is a pandemic but for God's sake we have a problem with this kind of situation.Please somebody look into the issue of how we care for our sick.Can't we have a place to care for the sick among us? Infact can't we have a place to care for our own that we consider indispensable? We must have such people among us or we are going nowhere. It is a very existential.We must do better.The African Free Trade is a very big deal! I do not think the african people realize the implication of what they pulled off! Now they must work through the mine fields that the detractors will most definitely emplace.We are not accusing anyone.It is a simple natural observation.We are just asking our people to excercise more care and caution.See who our real friends are and add to the number very carefully.If you have been hurt repeatedly by someone it makes no sense at all to keep returning to them for answers! Do you understand what we are saying?


Self Determination Is Inalienable Human Right

SELF-DETERMINATION STRUGGLE IN NIGERIA IS NOT FRIVOLOUS

The people who have been tinkering with nigeria have touched on very raw nerves.It is very unlikely the damages can be repaired due to rampant reoccurance.We now must begin to address how best to be very good neighbors.It is not possible to have your enemy keeping the most sensitive records of information about you.We are all into the information business these days and we know its value.We also know that abuse and misuse is very possible and can be very dangerous.Nigeria has refused to reassure the rest of the world it has no intention to pursue the avowed agenda of ethnic cleansing of the ultra extreme elements who have ceased control of the central government.The people who call for self-determination are enemies of the state.But some people removed the constitution that created the nigerian state with autonomous regions. In fact the 1999 constitution is the regurgitation of the Decree 24 1979of the military. Men under oath to defend the same constitution. The motto of the American military is:"This we will defend". Refering ofcourse to the constitution.The military in a democracy defend the constitution. It is what they vow to defend.It is the basis of all things else! The same men who treat an oath like a cup of liquor are the ones who talk about intergrity.No wonder we have the situation on hand presently.It is the ruin of what used to be a country.We now have some of them in "agbada" and "babariga" completing the demolition job.So they want to blame Oduduwa agitators and IPOB but they are dishonest and that is why.

In Eastern Nigeria the land of the Igbo people and their relatives the Effik, Annang, the Ibibios, the Kalabaris and the Izon life is a celebration.Even work is turned into a celebration because it is communual.Very soon we will be rejoined by our people from Igbanke, Afo, Idoma, Itolu,Igedde and Ufia tribes.You read the names again and you discover they are all Igbo words true and true! These people should have been part of what the British called Eastern Nigeria. Without regards to their culture and identity they were ceded to Northern Nigeria.Any little attention to these 'little' matters of identity will be clear to a very casual observer.The British government with the experience in these kind of issues understand this.However without these people the area called Northern Nigeria would have been almost uninhabited arid land.We know they were trying to help their friends! Today with the assertive and aggressive manner being pushed by the people others must defend themselves and their identities or become extinct.Eastern Nigeria is one place where identities have been preserved due to the idea of consensus building predating western civilization.We want to show the world the reason for the massacre going on in Middle Belt .It is the same reason why four million were systematically destroyed by this same axis.It is the same people.The governors of River, Cross River or Abia or Bayelsa etc are not being sympathetic to the plight of Benue state for the sake of politics.They are related by blood.

During the colonial era the Muslims in Northern Nigeria tried many times to emplace sharia law but the British government would not allow them.Today they understand why.The people from these areas will not accept the extreme subjugation of the female or impositions required in this system. Their way of life can't be more different.The women in these areas play very important indeed pivotal roles in the running of communities.In actual fact they are the glue that hold the communities together.Through marriage, the markets and other endeavours the women maintain exchanges that foster unity and a sense of community.The women are not invisible and can never be. The system can't afford it. It will impoverish the community socially and economically. We just highlighted a major area of cultural clash.The many others are just as significant.Today twelve states in core northern nigeria have emplaced Sharia law.It is their right as a community and nation of people.They knew their position will be difficult to defend peacefully in a country like nigeria. But it never detered them.Their resolve and determination never precluded the use of violence.It is part of their faith. Having exercised such right for themselves they now want to intimidate and terrorize others into canine submission and acceptance.

What is colonialism? It is exactly what we described in the preceding paragraph.Is what it is! No sugar coating. It is complete as it is. The problem is it can't stand.It took time for the people to see the full implications of these developments.A matter also made worse by use of mindless violence. They should have listened to their "friends". The advice they rejected was borne out of experience. Now they have found out much too late.It is for this reason we do not see how nigeria survives the present turmoil. It will not be glossed over.It has very intrinsic consequencies.The declaration of the sharia law ignored the four million who perished in the name of unity of nigeria a country that was suppose to be secular. As if that was not enough Nigeria joins the organization of Islamic countries. In the heat from citizens the authorities lied saying they were there in observer status.However it has sinced been proved that Nigeria is a subscription fee paying full member. Eastern Nigeria was on track to become industrialized within a decade when the war of genocide was foisted on the people by those who do not wish africa well.But many africans had no idea what was at stake including the clueless agents who push an agenda alien to their own self interests.

Again the problem arises from the same axis on time to checkmate the effort to regenerate and recreate the climate for progress.Rather than focus on the agenda of people of the area they are forced to be dealing with cattle grazing.The people in this area are not in a place of living by the day.They have ideas and invest in them. The farms being destroyed are investments.Are the people sponsoring this mayhem saying one investment is superior to another? Among many other questions to ask and things to say, but this people are in their own space.By the right of ownership no other person can override their own priorities.It is called provocation.Something that has been going on for years now.The people are in a very different place quite clearly.We are making the case that it is not a good idea to yoke a horse and a donkey. When they could be talking about and dealing with 3_D printing and space exploration and a good future for themselves some gun totting urchins are ferried into their space to distabilize it.The union is not a good match and must now be ended. We truely believe the outcome of this struggle determines the future of the african people.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Just like we predicted the legislative houses have approved more loans at the request of the Abuja central government.The purpose of the loan? It is needed for "infrastructural development".The government wants to borrow one and a half billion dollars ($1.5bn) and nine hundred and ninety five million Euro (E#995m).It brings the debt stock to about thirty two trillion naira. It was less than twelve trillion naira when the present government assumed office.The present administration alone has trippled the external debt stock.We knew the request will be approved.The rubber stamp has come down as usual.We just delayed the process by alerting nigerians.The borrow and share continues.The regions used to support the federal government.The present role reversal where the spendthrift holds the wallet is sad.It has pauperized the citizens quite clearly. The former regions never had one single "white elephant" project.All of them were initiated by the federal government.Today we have so many abandoned federal projects some of them costing tens of billions of dollars.In aladja, in Ajaokuta,steel rolling mills,power projects, refineries littered all over the place all abandoned federal projects costing the country in the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars.It is exhausting.It is tiring.It will not change because the people know nothing else.

The Lekki peninsula mass murder which left the entire earth shocked at the brutality of the nigerian authorities against own youth was one of such example. We have no true and authentic official count of the dead. What country treats the life of its citizens in such a manner? And it is but a tip of the iceberg in unlocking the dirty lundry list of this ignoble behavior.We have a government that has battled an army of religious zealots killing for entertainment, raping and kidnapping for fun. It has not seen much progress in over a decade of the confrontation.The group is expanding its control and terrorizing the whole country.Rather than seek how to unify the country against them the authorities have been very busy alienating the youths from Southern Nigeria every chance they get.It makes us think they are not worried about the unity of the space in reality.Their casual reaction and approach to the threat and the effort to even fund the rebellion by paying hefty ransome to the bandits seem like encouragement.We see here who is dividing the country.The people who take it by force are rewarded and the one who ask and request are murdered and slaughtered in cold blood. We asked them what their priority is.Now Abuja is under threat like we told them years ago.Boko haram hoisting flag anywhere in Niger State must be a rap on the door these happy people must hate to hear!

Youths from Eastern Nigeria have been demonstrating for the actualization of the state of Biafra.Chief Olusegun Obasonjo's government had to manage their tantrums from time to time. We were made to understand the group were actually asking for self-government. Nigeria was founded based on such a right. It is not something that should threaten anyone.Nigeria can't exist if it becomes clear that some people want to "colonize" the others! Nigeria will break up.It is no "intimidation". It is truth.The government at this time understood what was unfolding. At least they had the space to negotiate their position.It never became a threat to the peace at any point but a normal excercise of liberties in a normal democracy.They were allowed their space in so far as they threatened no one.Soon as the new government was sworn into office they threatened to deal with "every group that threaten the corporate existence of nigeria". By this they actually were refering to those agitating for self-determination.One keeps wondering where they got a corporate entity with no articles and memorandum determined by the stakeholders.

Presently nigeria faces fragmentation due to the inept ways this matter has been handled.The groups were massacred and their dead shown all over social media.The weak and unreasonable denials from government could not convince anyone.Rather than address the underlying issues the government chose to be sponsoring armed groups in the areas it considers "unfriendly".It chose to intimidate the Eastern Nigerian groups and other groups demanding self-rule.We have a government that has seen the expansion of the rights of certain people over others, and rampant nepotism which has removed the sense of the space being a federal entity.Upon that ancestral lands were being confiscated by the same priviledged group and the owners killed and displaced.We have internally displaced citizens! It is hard to understand such a term.We have watched as ancestral lands are being renamed.The government has done nothing.People submit their right to be governed to avoid these things.Any government that would not gurantee the right to life has lost its mandate and raison d'etre.

Rather than buy war planes, and armoured tanks, importing armed bandits the government should solve problems. It is the reason for government.It is strange how they react to problems.The agents of government want none of it. It is called intimidation and ingratitude to Mr. president.One hears things like "no one can intimidate Mr president". It is a pity.But he will have no country to be president over.War of independence are rare these days. Nations rise and the world will take notice. And give them their space. It is no intimidation. It is the meaning of the United Nations charter on the issue.It is not suppose to be intimidation. We see an example how leaders solve problems. People disagree. An effort is made so that happens without avoidable bloodshed. We are showing those who can't solve problems how problematic issues are resolved.It is dynamics of the human behavior.If they are threatened they will fight back. Nigeria is quick to press gun triggers. Human life for which government is needed becomes the less than secondary issue! It appears matters are at a head right now.We find no way the nigerian military will defeat a combined force of all Boko Haram has become and all the forces they are stoking in Southern Nigeria.The consequences of this new dimension will show very quickly.Nigeria can't survive if Yoruba youths shut down Apapa port and other places from where nigeria earns all that Vat tax money.If the youths from Eastern Nigeria shut down Eastern Nigeria which they are very able to do nigeria can't function.There will be no revenue from oil.

We just want to tell the government it has a couple of options and they are not good ones.Instead of talking about 'intimidation' and ingratitude it must seek to address the problems in the country.We think an honest effort to address self-government as was agreed hitherto is the answer.So far we have had no leader who is able to see that the assets of the nigerian nation states was stolen by the coup of 1966.In 1999 some people changed the ownership by decree calling it a constitution. It is a shame so many people you would have thought could see such a situation for what it is choose to look away due to what they have got for themselves. But this injustice will no longer stand.Nigeria will not hold any more election based on this farce and bare face robbery.It is a disgrace.It serves only the priviledged.The rest must stand up and fight until change is emplaced! Nothing short of that will do! The president must do the job he organised all manner of situation for.We remind him how he marched and marched! Today those who do are shot and killed.He should lead.It is part of his job to address and even solve these problems.He chose to be there. He was not conscripted!

Boko Haram was created to intimidate a president who was seen as unfit due to the idea and sense of a hegemnony.He hails from Southern Nigeria. Today Boko Haram is more of an enforcer of the muslim sharia law and has attained unlimited reach. They now have bandits as foot soldiers.Boko Haram is now more normal than bandits.Boko haram have "repented" members in the nigerian military.To understand such repentance one must recall that these are people who have killed and raped and maimed the innocent.It is hard to imagine the place of the law in such a decision. Imagine the reality being forced on the nigerian people.Communities are ransacked in full view and broad day light by so called bandits and soldiers look on.When we made this observation it was denied by the government and her agents.We see how they have become a big source of problem that can get much worse as millions are now being displaced.The massacre and scale of suffering they have inflicted on nigerians is very hard to describe.We are not able to describe it for those who have lost loved ones,the displaced, those abducted and later released, or the raped and maimed.It is very sad. We thought a democratic government will help and should.But some people are not amenable to the rule of law where all are equal.They prefer a system where they control the law.We predicted this trait will derail the process if not checked.As we can see they have taken over the entire apparartus of state and law in a federation.It affords them the priviledge to control the law rather than be subject to it.We do not have a country now with equal citizenship.We have the rulers and the subjects.We have exposed a reality that will always be explosive in the space.No wonder it is. After all these are indegenous nations from yore. So it is a matter that promises to really get very ugly very quickly. Which really brings us to the the most troubling news item these days.

We are hearing that southern and middle-belt military men and officers are being systematically wiped out from the nigerian armed forces. The new trend is mass execution by purported Boko Haram. The nigerian press must not shy away from this all important issue.It has become difficult for international press with the soceity made more dangerous on purpose.Remember our own Genghis Khan in Kaduna promised them they will return "in body bags" if they attempt to interfere.We are in a country where an elected governor uses such a language. One can imagine his own internal and private scruples and morality in a country like nigeria! Such threats in the past had resulted in those who made them eating their own "shoe", no I mean words! We have an atmosphere ripe for despotism.Perhaps someone wants to become an emperor.It might be the reason and goal for attempting to build a kingdom through conquest. It is easy to understand why Boko Haram is now normal.The caliphate is going to be the entire nigeria! God forbid! (Not so though unless it excludes the Eastern nigeria and all the tribes of the Igbo people).The military in nigeria does not want to take government even if it desired to.One more coup in nigeria is proof enough to the world the country can't hold together as one. It is all the proof the whole world needs and they know it.It would be foolish to do a coup.By it they end their hijack operation much sooner than they would like.

It is clear or should be to them it will be deadly for them and the soceity.For all their excesses one would have thought they would be very glad they have finally succeeded in breaking the country they have done everything to destroy.The idea we fear is the repeat of Yugoslavia type genocide within the military in nigeria. Nigerian military is no longer interested in fighting the terrorists.Instead it appears they find it easier to harmonize their point of view with the terrorists.Perhaps it is war fatigue or part of the original plan. But we hear southern soldiers are being murdered in hundreds very frequently these days.The victims are mostly soldiers of different persuation especially the christains. We heard the clerics declare the idea of fighting Boko Haram is coming from christains and not " fellow muslims".We fear the nigerian army has been balkanized by this wedge.It is a development with dire consequencies.Nigeria is therefore heading into very bad territory.The sectarian violence we predicted could result from the dagerous games so called clerics play is here. We never expected it this quickly. And it will be the end of nigeria.Thanks to those who ignore the obvious truth.

African Renaissance.

Foist a document that completely contradicts the constitution agreed to by the nations and their peoples.And this document is in no way a result of the due diligence done in the original founding constitution of the nations.Instead an effort by some to force an agenda of dominance and preponderance over the rest of the nation.Insist on this document against the rejection of over seventy per cent of the population.

Insist this document is a constitution.And proceed to run a federation as a unitary centralized entity.Emplace very weak federating units that are not viable and are not able to function as strong federating entities.Continue to repeat the fallacy like a mantra that the unity of the nation is not negotiable.Every time those who are hurting complaim chime this threadbare refraim.

Continue an agenda of external borrowing to fund the massive bureaucracies of these dependent entities with no plan to wean them of the dependence.

Militarize the polity and make every dissent a criminal offence.Use the military like a private police force and stump on the heads of dissenting personalities.

Make the judicial arm and the courts a choir of the executive.Their job become singing and dancing and hand clapping to support the executive.

Make the legislative arm a quick rubber stamp extension of the executive.

    Any person born in nigeria or has nigerian roots who is more than forty years old must have followed the ups and downs of a nation that has incredible potentials but has been terribly beset with leadership problems.The points listed above are also reasons you make coups!Your qualification and experience becomes irrelevant.Institutions are compromised and intimidated into canine submission. Let us remember the first press conference held by General Aguiyi Ironsi as the first military leader. He seemed completely oblivious of the very explosive situation he was saddled with.Then again the excited boyish press conference of Lt. Col Yakubu Gowon which resembled the introduction of members of a debating club rather than a world press conference.The newly minted military leader was signalling the change of government in a nation of over a hundred and thirty million people.Compare that situation to what this same person would have done today, were he to find himself in this same situation.But in this news conference he was informing the world that some army generals had been killed including the self-declared head of government at the time. Many people of his ethnic origin were also massacred in a revenge orgy.There was none of the gravity of this afore mentioned situation in his appearance and in the pervading atmosphere around him.His demeanour in this conference did not reflect the gravity of the situation for one single minute.The smile on his face and the upbeat atmosphere in the room had no reflection about the omnious cloud and disaster that was imminently impending.This painted a picture of a general sense of a lack of perception of the nature of the problem on hand. In a predatory world that is not a good thing.Nigeria was so vulnerable it is no wonder millions of lives were lost as a result!

    The problem was not the youthfulness of the new "leaders" but just the complexity of the world in general and of the society in particular which called for experience.At this time these people had none.He was letting the world know that the new nation that had just got independence from Britain had been thrown into the thrash-bin.But he comprehended very little of this truth.Since then the nation, nigeria has always flirted with one misfortune after another, been courting disaster after disaster! We saw Soviet Union collapse and a new Russia strong viable and prosperous emerge from its ruins. We have seen India lift tens of millions of its citizens out of poverty in a story too good to be true. We have seen a China emerge that is frighteningly sucessful. But nigeria has remained in the same stagnant position as if daring the world to try to make her do anything differently. In the field of science there are check-points or controls.When you have experiments that have progressed well you save the results and the underlying factors that produced them.As you continue the investigation you have a point of reference in case there is no where else to go in the investigation.In data processing you take your backups and store the results and if things do not progress well you restore your backups.

    You will not go back to posting transactions one by one.Any one who has ever implemented new systems will know this is what will break your back and make you quit!It is what nigeria chooses to do.Rather than return to a well tested constitution approved by those who should know,they opted for tinkering with their untested ideas to the detriment of innocent precious lives.It has been a terrible nightmare and promises no end.It is the reason many are calling to dissolve the republic! Since their document is sacrosanct to them the decision to come together was mutual.It will not be forced on anyone.The United nations charter on self-determinations guarantees that.If nigeria is not returned to the founding constitution nothing anyone does will save it from splintering.The fault lines are very natural and it should not be suprising to anyone.The only ones who delude themselves are the gluttons who are never satisfied! The ideas they have are all about maintaining the failed status quo.They resist anything that will revive the nation and cause growth and progress.And they parrot unity and peace as though these are realities they can create like the numerous decrees they churn out with glee!

     The most disheartening fact of the intervention of the military in nigeria was not the youthfulness of the officers who were involved in it.It is the diabolism that precipitated it.A section of the nation had a resource which the rest wanted to plunder and that in the same nation!The external forces were like the proverbial evil spirit looking for a victim and meets a very sick being carried to the evil forest.The evil spirit quickly laid claim!It had its job made easy!Colonialism was wrong.Slavery was wrong.Presently though we must be preoccupied with policies that maximize opportunities for the people of the continent.It is how you rehabilitate a place.Those who preach unity are not saying anything new.The colonialist did it better.Britain knows how fiercely ethnic africans are.As for nigerians the empire had their ideosyncrasies on their finger tips.Why would anyone delude himself as to why they agreed with the agitators to a federation?Was it not easier for a colonialist to manage a place as big as nigeria from a single command center?They know that better than anyone else.They could never have wasted their time sponsoring a unitary nigerian government.They did not.The young military officers were filled with patriotic zeal.They bellowed and shouted One nigeria! One nigeria!

    You have things you consider non-negotiable including matters of culture.How are those going to be resolved except you are willing to impose on the rest?But you must respect your differences or you will not be able to co-exist. If you do not possess the capacity to impose yourself by any reasonable stretch of imagination you have a stalemate.It is exactly where the soceity is presently.Now after so many years and a war that cost millions of lives they realize sharia law is very important to them.And they carve an entity out and mark it as seperate.Nigeria as an entity is not able to survive under two seperate types of laws.The British knew this.Even for all their softness towards northern nigeria they would not touch the time bomb.Nigeria does not practice common law only because it protects everyone.It is the only way to maintain an equal citizenry which is a prerequisite for a democracy.Now they have managed to create another reality.You are suppose to be a federal republic and a democracy but the underlying reality undermines both.And the new reality overlayed by hubris does not preclude violence as a way of life.But you will not force your new reality on others if they disapprove.It is why the original constitution made the nation secular and the regions autonomous.You ignore the fundamental issues and underlying facts of a relationship and want to address only your own concerns.It will lead to everything we have witnessed so far.

It is very disconcerting!The people of eastern nigeria and like minded people around africa perhaps were too optimistic to think that having been empowered by good education they could help lift themselves and the many millions who look to them for help out of squalor, penury and suffering.This has proved too difficult for the same crop of people who present for leadership over and over offering little or nothing. It is like summoning a village dancer to a medical emergency. Our roads are not in conditions that make traveling easy.Yet without the ability to move freely there can be no development. There are no hospitals and when there is a place with that name there is nothing else to it. And as we all know the hood does not make the monk. The hospitals have no doctors, no nurses and no equipments to help diagnose and treat the sick. The youths in their prime are without occupation. These are very severe problems. When you add to this a declining education system that is not able to match the challenges of the environment with capable youth to deal with them you have a picture of a very bad present and even a worse future. It is how nigeria has been trending since the military took power in 1966. The empowerment of a false elite class which is so self-serving it will not recognize any other part of its own body has been an ordeal to watch.If the present set of leadership want to continue in the gyration it is up to them.But they know the results already.On the other hand they could demand to pursue a course of reason. It will definitely have its results.And they will be good.

We watch the governments stumble from one unattained goal to the next unfinished one with resources strewn along the course so wastefully it becomes a form of art! Worst still the goals are the ones they set for themselves! We have no reason to expect anything different for the same fundamental principles and dramatis personae persist unfortunately. We can only expect these things to get out of hand. And we do not have the intention to allow the people who have not been able to build anything help destroy the little that exists in an orgy of blood thirst! The resources to build the people is spent arming them with AK47 riffles given to them by those who reject their humanity.The idea is they kill or get killed.What kind of empowerment is that? It is easy for some of us to see through this whole set up.Something too difficult to perceive when there is greed,prejudice,hate and indifference.But the population has always rejected these things. Our people have always summoned their better selves for the most part.This accounts for why the difficulty is created in order to break the resolve.It is what leadership must account for.It is non-linear!

If the people did not resist the imposition on them of colonization it would have been a different matter but they did.We have the account of our heroes who perished for resisting the impostors.Their names adorn our traditional history. Some speak of the radicalization of africa as though it is new. Africa has always had men and women who challenged authority and the status quo.If that is radicalization, it has always been there. What they lacked are the extreme weapons of intimidation and coercion.They did not have guns and ammunition of the very lethal types.They were always and mostly silenced by "superior weapons". Among themselves once they made their bows to hunt wild life for food that was it. They mount their horses and use their bows to scare and intimidate their enemies.They go out in the cover of night and carry a few people. That was it.Enemies were often neighboring kingdoms from whom a fair maiden had been stolen, an arable piece of land was in dispute.You still had the same markets and exchanged ceremonies.They were concerned about the good life they all shared. You did not wish to make things too ugly! The idea of having our own people suffer to the extent we have witnessed is alien to us.Conflicts such as Biafra and Ruwanda genocide are very unafrican.We see external hands in them. It must be resisted and rejected.

Their inter-tribal wars were waged while keeping the lines of communication open.We should be proud of their sensitivity to the suffering of their own. Something they did even in times of severe disagreement. If disagreements seem to deepen a very steep bout of dialogue through emissaries will be unleashed. Our people were nobody's fools.The narative are unfavorable of africa because the people have been stripped of their resources.The narative had to justify that.There is the attempt to justify the episodes of extreme violence known in europe and arab world as necessary for civilization. We find no evidence to justify such a theory since civilization began in africa and there are no marks of such extreme episodes.Africans need to be proud of who they are and look around themselves for answers for the challenges that face our communities.We believe that africans built a civilization before and can do it again.But they must understand the reason for the lack of progress in the communities of africa presently.The answer lies with them and them only.You are not going to hold your neighbor hostage because you are poor.If you do it long enough both of you will die of starvation.You will understand what it means to exact yourself to prevent someone else's progress.In nigeria some people are comforted that they have considerably stifled the progress of the people of eastern nigeria.It has become their achievement and they wish to perpetuate it.But life and nature is not always kind to the oppressor and persecutor.In the usual reversal of reality nature frees the oppressed.It always happens.The nigerian experience will be no exception.We had tried to appeal to the people who will soon see themselves washed ashore like fish out of water to allow a relationship as it was designed.They will enjoy the advantage of scale and it will still be all right. If they will not do so by choice nature must take its course and they will only have themselves to blame in the end.

It is called self-determination.It is very condescending and even patronizing to choose for a people how best to organize themselves.Who is best suited to lead them.How best to prepare their youths for the future.Every society and community must make these kind of choices and take responsibility for the outcome.When this is imposed it become oppression.If there are benefits in changing what they see as the best fit for them but they must be the one to make that determination.It is like taking away their ability to survive as a people. If we look at nature the living organisms that thrive are the ones that have evolved a leadership strategy. The ants survived and the dynasaurs perished. The division and wedges that have driven the many upheavals in nigeria is to blame for the decay of infrastructure or lack of it. And it is responsible for the lack of progress.It will be irresponsible to blame this government or any particular one for the many problems of nigeria.It is a culmination of many poor set of choices.Blames have gone around for many years.Solutions are the expectations of the people for which they battled very gallantly and are poised to find answers.It is not a time for the excuses we hear such as "we vowed to protect this constitution". If you take an oath to protect a decree while you are in a democracy you are confused.The yearning of the people is to see the day the young men and women who are wasting today begin to acquire skills to help transform the society.Some communities can't wait for when they will take their future in their own hands.The present bogus federation that controls everything has stiffled development.It can't be said enough.It hurts even the people who enforce it.The few beneficiaries of the aberation will never be the reason for the massive failure and injustice it perpetuates.

If a person will not protect the interest of the owner of a business he will not have the job for long.Your oath is to the nigerian people and their collective interest.The only instrument today that represents that is the constitution at independence.The nigerian people fought very hard for a representative government.They chose their peers and fellow citizens.If that trust has been misplaced events in the next few months will prove that.Nigeria needs to be returned to the federation it is suppose to be.And such change needs people such as the ones that have been chosen by the people.The men and women in the two chambers must do battle for the survival of the nation and put their names in its history.It is what leadership means.If the military were not able to solve what they considered a problem for four decades having waited for just three years after independence too bad.We must return to where they found us.We know we were doing all right.Their new prescription is killing a nation that should have been in a different place today!We do not wish to blame them but we must return to what works! Oil and mineral could be the priority of lazy people.How much has nigeria earned from oil this past year? In comparism how much has been earned from remittances of citizens residing outside? If the nigerian nation was made the place it could be can anyone imagine the possibilities? Who wishes to live in this myopic reality of a few misguided people and their many henchmen?

And leadership is required due mainly to problems.We are not talking here about giving a segment of society a false and misguided sense of conquest.Nigerians in other parts are not into that and they are not having it!Not even as a joke.What they wish to see is the implementations of decisions and resolutions reached to move soceity forward.In the 1950's there was a certain point of view that nigeria is not a nation but "a mere geographical expression".The negotiations that produced the constitution that founded nigeria is not a document like any other.Upon that constitution rests everything concerning the entity called nigeria.We warn the politicians to focus on returning to that document or prepare to have no entity to pillage and people to traumatize and waste.There is not going to be another charade in the name of a democratic election.The pantomine and travesty witnessed by nigerians in the last election is an example why we say there is no nation here.Imagine an electoral body waited for all materials for an election to be taken out from the volts where they are kept for safety and distributed before cancelling the election.How could they account for the materials? We have men and women but mostly men who have no compassion for the people angling for their resources.It is so bizare.

This people have not solved a single problem since 1966.They have made them all far worse.It is disheartening to watch the politicians focus and dream about elections when citizens are dying daily due to lack of political structure.They hold on to the very one causing all the problems.They do not care there is no constitution that indeed enables a democratic space.How is it possible that the military that rejected the constitution when they hijacked the nation will bestow one on you? It is sad.Societies have power struggle but leadership has the responsibility to place these events in perspective and reach the ordinary people in their places of need.In this place the players just do not care.The only thing that concerns them is power and the resources it affords them.Who could have imagined that so many nigerians will be killed and their communities destroyed?.If this happened under colonial rule what would have been our reaction? But our own people have no problems at all with it.And that is the problem.All that is needed is a soceity that gives people the space they need and the tools to meet their own needs. Give people a chance to move themselves and their society and community forward.The people in the space have suffered enough.It is the reason so many perished especially among the freedom loving people of Eastern Nigeria! We tell all who claim to be leaders in the region to make sure that a structure is emplaced to protect lives.They swore to an oath to do so.If they will not the people of eastern nigeria will invoke native elements against them.We know they are happy to be in power.If however the purpose is not to protect the people who have been victims too many times then it is no use to many of us.We are not perhaps able to change nigeria.It does not mean we are going to be the sacrificial people anymore.Enough has already been done in that regard.Unity is not losing yourself.The people must take their own future seriously.The resources of the region has been used to develop even people who do not care for their existence or for the people around them.It is enough price to pay for those who are even complicit in their own colonization.

Let us say like the american would say it that you owe us at least one good turn.We do not have to explain it.Here is what we need from you if you wish to make good.Mr President you remember the ordinary people of that part of the country actually believe you can help them. You understand they are not free until they pick up arms.You know this to be why they have fallen for the idea of militarisation.They want and need empowerment.Evil minded people are exploiting their desire.But we have to ask you to find it in you to turn them away from this tendency or else africa will remain the poverty capital of the world.Look at Ethiopia.We have no way of avoiding the same fate if we wait.The stranglehold and vices of the first tier world and the second and even the third tier world has painted such a destiny for the african people.Nigeria is now becoming a class on its own.It is a class that has all the things that make one want to avoid it.The perculiarities are very frightening.We call on Mr. president to use the power of his office to move matters along.We see no help from the people who are very comfortable around him.They can't see how close they came to being sacrificed for the decay.Do a favor to the ordinary people who see you as their own person and aided you to attain power.We know the idea to push religion as an end is threadbare.The people need help.They need help now and today.

They are not abstractions. They are flesh and blood like those who live today and want them to put their own desires to live at abeyance. Religion matters when a person seeks actualization.It can't replace wants and needs of the physical body, like food. Give the hungry the food that will be there many years after you have left office.Mallam Aminu Kano empowerd people.His legacy lives on till today.Your gift is to set them free by returning the nation to the agreement that will give them a country again.The country has been stolen from them.Some like to play north and south.All we have are loosers.It is not geographical.The pitch is a blindfold and deceit.We see the massive poverty and it is everywhere one turns.It is not how to govern more than two hundred million people.It will become a source of big palaver.We are surrounded by terribleness that makes it hard to look to the future.We are not able to refine petroleum in nigeria.We have refineries built with hundreds of billions of american dollars.All of them can't work.We spend some hundreds of millions to maintain them! And they all produce nothing.But Niger Republic is able to build a refinery and sell petroleum products to nigeria.We have here a very glaring example of what nigeria has become.And we have a growing population of mostly teenagers. We all know nigerians will read this theft.Nigerians know the people who own the petroleum refinery in Niger Republic.The matter is making rounds.We are not able to build roads for the masses but private entities can build nylon paved ways to their properties and businesses. Mr. president the nigerian people are being provoked.

It will lead to places we do not wish to go.You remember I had told you before that you could help nigeria.Nigeria is not able to generate electricity.Nigeria no longer can boast of good schools.It used to be one of the greatest strength of this country.Some of us were in school with foreign students from outside africa.We now have a few individuals who own nigeria.And they want it exclusively.The people have become their miserable tenants.It is the definition of feudalism.And it will always lead to mass rebellion.History around the world is replete with examples of mass uprising as a result of draconian living conditions.It is the history.Nigeria by the fortune of her own history is not a homogeneous brand of citizens.It contains those who can spit fire. We know how that will work and it is not good.Some "Johnny just comes" and their "Ginni came lately" have no idea! Nigeria is not their normal quiet docile bunch.Feudalism will never work in nigeria.The British learned that,found ways arount it until it became too difficult to maintain.And they are no whimps.The people who are playing this game do not care for any lives.It was something the Britsh colonial government had to worry about.But the people in government in nigeria must worry about themselves at least.The future must concern them.No person is guaranteed or assured of anything in perpetuity. We had thought you are a man that wants to help the masses and they believed you.Now it seems you have also abandoned them. You know they will try to help themselves and it will hurt africa.The climate will be exploited by the enemies of africa.Can you please hear me and act quickly.It will be seen by some of us as a favor.We know it will help save lives.

We know where the country is heading if you regard this as another political pitch. It is not. It is a last ditch attempt by a person who is hurting for his people.We can act now and return the country bequeathed us by patroitic nigerians to a proper footing which blesses generations. Some of us will thank you and it will be our reward for supporting you.In the days of Sovereign national constitutional conference and all the other efforts to seek answers you were yourself available or ably represented.It is the way other peoples and nations get better.We are not suppose to allow the advantage of having a person like you and all the other people who participated in those efforts to be another nigerian moment.Please rise to this moment and occasion for the sake of posterity.I could join the anger and anguish and we will end up exactly like Ethiopia.I do not wish that on africa again.You and I know that the world does not care if africans die in any number.You know it and I know it.So let us see an action in the best interest of the ordinary people who helped you to gain power.The constitution of 1999 is a wish list of the feudal class.End it.It is deadly.The lawyers in nigeria must explain why they accepted the 1999 "constitution" from the military. If they accept it is a decree we understand it was all they could do. It was a long fight. They were tired of fighting and were suffering from battle fatigue.Otherwise you have your stolen vehicle returned to you.But it will not start. The person who returned it will not accept blame. If you are too afraid to blame such a person but you still do not have a car.It is why nigeria is withering away slowly.You might want to take a look at it again.There is nothing about the constitution that sustains unity and equity.It spells dominion from beginning to end.Please be the one that returns the country back to its proper footing.If you do history will be kind to you.

We know your wonderful wife an accomplished citizen in her own right understands these issues. Many times she has lamented the lack of engagement of the ordinary people in the business of governance.We believe she is as disappointed as we are in the brutalization of citzens as they try to engage and participate.She has shown and proved that she has heart for the people and also understand what you yourself know.Surrounding you now are people who know nothing about how you became president.Some of us wanted and needed a "rebel" of some sort in Aso Rock. We needed a person who can shake the system in favor of those who are the real owners.If you will not they are going to take what rightfully belongs to them. The shame is that such paths are not predetermined.I have said it before that we are better off managing the change we need.We must return to a place where nigeria becomes a country again.The civilized world know that nigeria is not a country now.You have a diverse collection of people living together hoping for the best.It is not even something to talk about. It is dangerous and can be exploited.It is the case and we all know it.

President Mohammed Buhari are we to believe you are part of the people who now see nigeria as a muslim nation? Are you part of the people who have turned nigeria into a feudal system and not a republic and a democracy? Are you among the people who think unitary government can work in nigeria? President Mohammed Buhari are you among those who have turned nigeria into an african shame? Is it how you wish to be remembered? You know the people around you are not completely in agreement with you.It is the little disagreement they harbor that becomes a sea change in the lives of nigerians.They want a democracy that stiffles dissent.It is no democracy.We read your personality and body language.You give then the freedom to excercise their power. And they do exercise their office but they do it for themselves only.Nigeria should never have been in the shape it is now.The debt stock has weakened the nigerian economy because the borrowing was not directed to production.Nigeria borrows to fund government and its agencies.It is very absurd. Mr president do me just this favor in return.

I think I deserve it.And I today demand it before witnesses.It will be a gift that keeps on giving to the african people.It will prevent a war that is becoming inevitable.It will unleash potentials that will suprise all of us.It will give hope to our teaming youths and make them know we care about their future.And it will tell our enemies we can change course.You see the various nations around the world who changed course.We can see China. We see India.In africa we show a little determination it is stiffled by all means using our own hands.It is always using the hand of africa to feed it the deadly potion that destabilizes and immobilizes her.Please, do something different for the sake of the generations that will suffer as a result of riding this "do nothing" and "just spend money" classic vehicle of 1966.The sponsors of the prevailing atmosphere in 1966 knew exacly what they wanted.They wanted us where we are now. You were one of the few who thought it was wrong.

At risk to your life you tried to do something to change it.The coup you were part of touched on many of the problems that still undermine progress in nigeria today. What is needed is a new direction.The idea of clanish loyalties had never helped nigeria.The abundance of it is the reason for lack of progress.The small interval of growth that has been recorded was when leadership sought out capable minds and engaged them in the service of the country. We must begin to reward ability and delivery.Our population is growing and we must have a plan for the growth or they will turn on us.I do not think anyone is hoping that all these youths migrate "abroad"? It is time to work.We know military intervention is a postponement of the inevitable.Nigeria thoroughly exhausted that recourse. It is the reason we thought you could help not as a former military person but as one who desires a better soceity.We are now thinking perhaps we did not understand you well.It is very difficult to reconcile the events of the present with the man we used to know.It appears we had missed or ignored some very important clues.We just wanted to have cause to hope our soceity is not again traumatized by lack of reason. Today that hope is almost lost and we are becoming very disappointed.You know nigeria will be plunged into another war if the people who are turning it into their private property are not countered very quickly.The other people who have been watching these developments have plans.We will not hesitate to adjust our choices if you prove not to be who we had thought.

NIGERIAN CIVIL LEADERS HAVE THE CHANCE TO PROVE THEY ARE CAPABLE::IT APPEARS THEY ARE WAITING FOR HELP!

Those of us who live outside nigeria in a kind of voluntary exile have a perculiar problem.You can return to nigeria but you do not feel like it because the reasons you left are still there.The Sanni Abacha government for me was the lowest nigeria could go.At least that was how I felt.At the time it seemed nigerian citizens had become pawns on a serious chess match.One master passes them on to the next. It felt so bad to be part of such a degradation.It was not just our currency that was devalued. We all were! We now have a situation where the same thing is playing out with the representatives the people gallantly emplaced at the helm of the affairs of nigeria.This time the "Masters" are playing the "tribe" card! We wish to warn the people in leadership that they are going to be held accountable.Despite waging a pogrom on the part of nigeria with the best index for development these people have learnt nothing.Nigeria has been placed in a difficult place to account for a youthful population that is largely idle.We ask those who play this tribe game what has been gained after cutting down the people of eastern nigeria and confiscating their resources.Like the youths from that part will ask "How far now?"

We remind them that "though tribe and tongue may differ; In brotherhood we stand". We said before that those who have no idea what is trending with ordinary nigerian must not present themselves for leadership.Nigerian youths want to be given the space to realize their potentials. They want to do the type of things they are doing in places where they reside in refuge.This nation used to have jobs for the citizens who wished to work.Those who wished to do other things to sustain themselves found the opportunities.It is not the case today.And excuses will never solve this problem!Can the leadership of the nation presently work for that? We believe we are suppose to reconfigure the nation to achieve that.Some of us have said so.It appears it is the only thing that makes sense now.But it appears some people do not know how to be deliberate when there is bound to be change.They prefer the change to happen on its own.But it is better to manage change.In that way you control it.

Right now the men who are leading the nation down the precipiece with this new facade of "fulani" monarchy know what they are doing.Even the fulanis will become their victims.It was done in Ruwanda.Just the same thing exactly!The architects of this mahem have hurt africa far too many times.They really only think of themselves and their very narrow interests. Nigeria is not going to be broken by them in a battle.Nigeria is an accident of fate. As with most things in nature how it shakes out is up to us.If we determine we are not meant to be together as family we could be good friends.The present set of events where somebody will lead cattle to uproot crops and decimate farm land of citizens will provoke confict.Now these men are fully armed and kill those who confront them. The irritation and outbursts are capable of precipitating national strife.The Global Terrorism Index places "fulani herders" as the fourth most deadly armed bandits in the world.The mix of the fulani herders and the Islamic State West Africa Province is too toxic.We wish this was a manufacturing outfit or something that will enhance life. But we are dealing with a killing machine.They were responsible for nearly three thousand deaths in 2018 alone.

We add this to "Boko Haram" and their hard headed insistance on an Islamic nation.Since 2009 this group has been waging an ugly war of attrition against the nigerian state.The basis of this struggle is threatening the nation and its corporate existence.It is not good! We know how the nigerian so called civil war was precipitated.It started by maligning the Igbo people.This job was undertaken by religious clerics who used every opportunity to fan the embers of division with incendiary rhetorics.Igbo people were blamed for being too ambitious.They were often castigated and maligned for trying to dominate everyone else.Some of their youths in the military were lured into a preposterous "coup".They were military people yet the civilians were blamed for this act of indiscipline.It led to a pogrom and massacre and a war of attrition and genocide.Since then a bunch of people wish to remotely control the lives of people with whom they feel neither connection, empathy or concern.They sit down in a remote place some place and plan the lives of hundreds of millions.Even for the wise and experienced and applied minds this is daunting.When the simple take on such a task it is time to escape for dear life!It is what we see unfolding in nigeria.Some people can't see the effect of the idea of too much centralization. We can do better than that today.Instead of loosing another single Igbo life we are better off on our own.If the Igbos leave nigeria they could pursue other relationships.Interestingly the Igbo people have always made friends over the years.

Boko Haram has been waging a very violent conflict that is costing nigeria so much economically draining her of resources needed to assuage the youths that wage the war!It is very ironic.But nigeria has leadership that is very perculiar.Since the end of the war the nigerian government waged on the Igbos and the people of eastern nigeria for their oils wells it refuses to allow the ports in eastern nigeria to function.Such an important natural asset is deactivated by government.The ports in lagos are clogged and cluttered but it is all right.You do not wish to allow the ports in "enemy territory" to function. But you will take their oil by force of arms!These crop of leaders have killed the cotton farms and made the fields dissappear in the entire northern region.This was a source of income for so many.Most importantly it was an occupation for many.They have done the same to the groundnut and rice pyriamids.We have idle men with manicured nails, and with zero skills roaming around every government agency looking for contracts!And the many others who are lost,completely confounded by the situation.They resort to crime not knowing what else to do.I frame the violent outbursts in nigeria in terms of criminality.The government is not able to provide occupation for its population.And it will not allow structures that will do so! In a community with a youthful population this act of the nigerian government is self defeating!It is for these things,childish acts, lack of tact and class, it has fueled the present agitation for Biafra.It has created boko haram.The government by its own action created these nightmares.Picking the Igbos as scape goats will not work.You do not want a repeat of these kind of events.It will elicit and enjoy so much sympathy!Any other attack on the igbos or people from eastern nigeria within the nigerian space will be the end of the entity as we know it.The world made a mistake once.Many people will never allow it again!This fact must never be ignored by those who will not allow reason to precede their actions.

The government had done nothing for the people whose resources was hijacked for nearly fifty years.If even as a facade you needed it.It is not how you make yourself credible.By its own actions the nigerian government has alienated the people of eastern nigeria and the Igbos.The numerous efforts at rehabilitating members of boko haram and reintegrating them is at variance with the experience of the people of eastern nigeria.The people of eastern nigeria were stigmatized as though it was the intention of the so-called conflict. And it is the reason.In the drama that has lasted for decades the people of western nigeria have busied themselves picking all the ripe fruits they can find without any qualms.It is time to close ranks.The south must work together or keep quiet and accept their enslavement!Except that the people of eastern nigeria are very willing to go it alone one very last time if it came to that!

The sons and daughters of Oduduwa benefitted from the Igbo when the people moved eastwards instead of risking a war of attrition.This account of the migration of the two nations is example of the complex political dexterity of these peoples.It is an enconter in which the two civilizations survived. It is such a beautiful thing to think of our ancestors in such glorious manifestations.We believe our peoples shall transcend the present predicament.The Ife culture carries the evidence of the encounter of the people of Oduduwa and the "Eri" people.Today the Igbo people can also "move" their relationships further east.There is abundant communuality and similarities.It is not possible to bottle up the Igbo.They are earth citizens.They sojourn everywhere in the world.But the Igbo are very loyal to the ancestrial links.The small game of creating animosity will be resisted by the leadership.I am not talking about politics.Leadership in the Eastern Nigerian space must now transcend politics.

It is now existential.The people who created a decree they call a constitution and created a sharia entity are doubling on as the peace makers.It is very mind buggling.We are all the same people in Eastern Nigeria.We have the same culture.It is how you prove it.The market days, the Okonko, Akang and Ekpe are there to prove it.Most especially the mark of elitism in the space in the past the Nsibidi.The Odongo phenomenon stretches all the way to the Congo river! We are ready to prove our findings.Using language as a marker is mockery.It is a way to divide people to weaken then as a unit and a nation.Language changes very rapidly.In a generation any language undergoes clear detectable changes.We are all the same people in the space.History tells us so.We are able to see it too.

As a child you are introduced to a host of relatives too numerous to remember.But from whom you derive energy and strength.It is the power of the Igbo family.Their energy is a force of nature.If nigeria finds no use for them there will be the need to first look inward.The people of eastern nigeria will first prove that a good government is possible.In less than ten years they will have everything nigeria can only wish for! After that we could seek to merge with other people who will have agreements with us to continue along the paths we shall chart for our peoples.We find no need for any further blood bath in nigeria. Enough is enough.And one more thing.The idea of resorting to pulling the military out of the barracks is wrong.First thing is the military is not a private security outfit. It is an institution.The military have a function.

We are not going to allow those who plan to precipitate another pogrom to use the military again.They have learned their lesson hopefully.In their adventure in "ruling" nigeria they have left a trail of blood...including their own. It must never happen again! Nigeria must allow and empower the various ethnicities and communities to evolve a corporate way to protect and govern themselves.Most crimes are local!Every community know their own citizens.It is an irrefutable fact.Why does the federal government of nigeria also work against this truth? Why not allow people to help protect their own environment? Do they not have a stake in it? It is in the grain of a federation.You have state governments whose primary function is to protect life and property of its citizens.A state government must have the tools to do its job.The nature of what might be needed within the states must be such that the police can manage or there is an undeclared war in the polity. The military is required when there is a threat to the sovereignty and territorial intergrity. Both of these are violated by the nexus of the herders who cross boaders into nigeria and Boko haram which seeks a different nation.Nigerian army must focus on this unfortunate situation.The issues that give rise to the likes of Boko haram are not at first mainly military matters.They are political.But they are normally ignored.Over a period of time they harden and become ugly. It is for this reason that the nation must reconfigure to reflect what works!

We lend our voices to the call to have a nigeria that returns to true constitutional government. It means that nigeria returns to the original constitutional government by which it was founded. Nigeria was founded as a constitutional democratic federal republic.The people of nigeria with the help of the British government which at the time was the 'legitimate' authority negotiated many constitutional reforms. The culmination and anchoring one was one in 1954 which instituted regional governments as the federating units.Eastern and western nigeria became self-governing in 1957 followed by northern nigeria in 1959. After independence in 1960 three years on in 1963 the nigerians on their own with the lesson from Britain fresh in their minds negotiated their own constitutional amendnent which made the entity a republic.Now any one can blame Lord Lugard or his female friend all they want.More power to a Briton who was able to pick a girlfriend who was involved in what was his life challenge, thug of war with ethnic native civilizations.I do not see the problem with that.We must all learn to choose such companions.I respect that.

I wish the world was perfect but the truth is that it isn't.And any nation for all it claims to be is in fact a collection of interests that in many cases at variance.It is a matter of constant work.I have problems with those who can't seem to know how to maintain a structure.It requires actions.You can't live in a home forever and do no maintainance work in it.Troubling as that is what is worse is to try time to time to dismantle the edifice.And this is your own primary residence.Events like the creation of states that completely ignored the established provinces created as viable functional entities was one of such actions.The creation of bunch and bunch of local governments in say Kano for instance and such other places on a whim by Sanni Abacha was another.Exactly the same type of gambit we see in the so-called new constitution.The hubris that now threatens to unbundle the nigerian state.The so called new constitution names a particular religion and still mouths secularity at the same time. It names "sharia law" for some people and "law" for the rest.So which is the generic type of law in the nation? The constitution by which the nigerian nation was founded is what the elected men and women must summon the courage to bring again to life. The deliberation ought to be how to phase the current system to the system that renews the life span of the agreement to be one people.They must be brave and courageous.It is easier than the endevour that earned us independence from colonialism.If they find the courage to do so the nation will always remember their effort.

Why did nigeria need a new constitution?We had a military intervention.It is called an interregnum.It is an interruption.If a game is going on and for some reason an interruption occurs as soon as the interference is removed the game is resumed.When an interruption occurs during an occasion for example a meeting is interrupted you remove the source and continue the meeting.It happened in several nations in the course of their existence.Power struggle is real.It is a fact of life.The nation has a life.And regimes have their own life spans.The two are not interchangable.What the nation needs now is to look at the reason prime minister Tafawa Balewa saw the need to go over the head of the president to interfer with the government of western nigeria.It was a complete breach of protocol.Do we make a new constitution for such a reason? How many constitutions will you make to suit the whims of each person who gets elected? No.They must stay within the bounds of the law.You will not have a society if any persons or group are above the law.The president at the time noted that the constitution was being breached and was promptly ignored.He told the prime minister that his action will cause a consitutional crisis.The president at the time excercised due diligence.Has this atittude changed?When you make a new constitution and the president wants a judiciary that sees the law through a prism selected by him you are back to the same place again.So you do not change the constitution. You need a behavior change.But for the unfortunate situation there would have been no military coup.And all the other events that were precipitated by the unfortunate situation would have been avoided.

The new constitution is all trouble.A matters that should have been left to discretion of the local space was placed in a document such as a constitution.In a federation of autonomous entities this is a source of breach and conflict.And this done in very specific ways that leaves no wiggle room.To do such a thing in a place like nigeria is very disingenius.I like to say again that the constitution that was agreed to at independence is a fine document.The language is solemn and succint.We need not say our colonialist never intended us to be this disfunctional.No. I do not believe that.If nigeria runs properly they have a nation with whom they share a bond.If there is disfunction all sorts of interferences happen.So I think that the help offered to nigeria by Britain to achieve an agreement and a constitution was genuine.There is no patriotism in changing what works with another that will never work.This is not patriotism.It is one of those things certain priviledged people do that make others less than they truely are.Injecting religion and all other such details in the constitution is disingenius.It is very contemptuous even to the adherents it is suppose to benefit.And such things create strife.And we see that.This does not help even the ordinary adherents that will be devastated by any misapplication.And that a very looming possibility.The poor and helpless as usual will bear the burden of it.And look at the landscape already.This is not nation building.It is the opposite.It was not what the people who followed the example of the architects of the nation state did or how they reacted to such a challenge.They held and conducted a plebicite and followed along the known path.They enshrined secularity in the constitution and chose a republic.They chose a federal republic.They kept it clean and simple.Their choice was a nation governed through and by reason.It is the true meaning of a republic.And a federation implies they acknowledged the multiplicity of nations and cultures.

They also on their own created an additional region: the mid-western region.It was viable. They did not suspend the original constitution or make a new one. They negotiated amendments and agreed to them and implemented them. Not bad for a three year old nation! Unfortunately in 1966 there was a military coup.The intervention of the military was one act of international sabotage inflicted on the young republic.I believe on purpose by those who stood to benefit from the drift.It was a perfect wedge to prevent the progress being made at the time by some sections.The disdain for dialogue and the ability to "rule" was the troubling deviation.After all this is a nation that fought to be free from an experience.It has been the bane.And now it is about to unbundle the nation.The military was not able to wait for a new nation to find its own footing.Remember just after three years of unfettered democratic experiment they decided it was too clumsy.One is wondering what type of learning curve these young men had expected of their civilian compatriots.But in time they have had their own experience with human problems as it relates to governance.

It may have seemed a lot easier than it proved to be.The military suspended part of the constitution as we were made to understand.But for the level of ignorance and illitracy there would have been no nigeria for them to "rule". How do you "rule" people who fought and won independence for themselves in order to become a democracy? The nation fought a civil war and the military still continued to "rule". And we can't seem to be able to get away from the mentality of "ruling" and start "leading" and "governing". And we have a ruler in Abuja who doles out money to states to fund their budgets.No wonder there is unemployment and pervasive poverty. The first casuality of the military regime was the structure of the government as a federation. You could not have a military run a truely federal government in a place like nigeria. It was the first problem.It is the problem now! There is a federal government being run from the center.If you fund the budgets of states you run them. You could never actually call such an arrangement a federation.

We are not going to become experts in constitution making.The military will not either.The one that founded nigeria is good.If not well too bad.How do we cede such honor to anyone? The men who framed the original constitution deserve our respect and highest honor.They were brave.They were courageous.We owe then a debt of gratitude.If somebody thinks such is unnecessary neither do we see the need to embark on a fruitless journey with any such person.What will be the reason? Look at the condition of the nation!Honor is earned.Very high honor is bestowed.The people will do so to who they wish. No one is suppose to take it by force. If they do it will wane and dissipate just like battery power.Matters of our collective safety is not ceded to any body.It is a collective responsibility.It is for this reason the nation is on the brink as we speak.The government is no longer in the position to guarantee the lives of citizens.Try as much as it can but does not! The promises are unattainable.Safety is achieved through trust and dependability.Who will listen to a call to continue to live with a set of platitudes that ignore the reality of nigeria and the aspirations of the nigerian people? Return the nation to its rightful owners and emplace their constitution. No more no less! It is a no brainer. We have been through this many times.Each time the convenient approach is prefered. We proposed this matter in the post Abacha government and were branded those who wanted to elongate the regimes tenure. But guess who went shopping for yet another general a few short years after? It is always good to make haste slowly.We suggested then to revert to the 1963 constitution and start over.We pointed at the time to what happened in south africa. It is possible to correct aberations when there are reasonable people. It would have seen the then head of state hand over an economically viable and politically healthy nation to the next government.Such a government would have been economically sound and ethically and morally grounded.It would be unimaginable for any person to try taking the nation down a precipiece again. The "bigmen" called us names. This particular matter was the sole reason for a website ... betternigeria.com at the time( between 1997 and 2008).

It is very serious business to negotiate constitutions in places like nigeria with plurality of interests. It is not a reason to ignore it for then you will be where we are now. Ask the British government what it took to negotiate the various constitutions that culminated in the one that some people chose to trash. United States has amendments as a way of making the constitution relevant, current and succint to perculiar needs. It is rather very regretable that the nigerian two houses of elected men and women ignored the constitutional querries being posed by Boko Haram, IPOB, OPC, PANDEF and others.The elected men and women have forgotten the many who laid down their lives for the democracy for which they are made custodians.Are they worthy of the great honor and priviledge bestowed on them? We have a nation that was "ruled" not governed by the military for the most of half a century.The same people have hovered over the "democracy".It is a shame Boko Haram chose to pick up arms.But organisation change societies.The Igbo Union of yore and Zikist movement won nigerian independence.We must never forget the heroism of the men and women of National Democratic Coalition (NADECO).It is because of them their fellow citizens can share and participate in how they are governed.WE must therefore organise.It matters.

If the executive captures the judiciary most of whom they appoint why must the legislators be suprised?As the representatives of the people how have they ensured this never happen?They clearly have not demonstrated an understanding of this burden.But when the executive captures them also? It is sad.Nigeria will never be "ruled" again!We have had the strategic marshall plan of the northern nigeria ceasing all the forces and apparatus of coercion in nigeria.They have "ruled" nigeria for nearly five decades.The doctors,lawyers,engineers,economists,scientists and what have you have watched.They watched the unfortunate saga play itself out.Had it been a success northern nigeria would have taken credit for it.But it has produced a war that cost the african people nearly five million lives.It has the nation with the potentials to be one of the greatest in the world on its knees.So they captured power but failed to use it to advance the cause of maintaining it.

Human soceities are organic.Human beings are organic.Organisms react to stimuli including danger.Nigerians are awake and they are in the mood to move on.If anyone attempts to do that type of thing again he will have many pieces in his hands.If legislators understand the issues they must face reality and stand up to the other arms of government and represent those who chose them and their interests.If they choose not to face the obvious challenge they must understand as has been said human society is organic.Living organisms advocate for themselves if all else fails!If they watch the news from north Africa to Asia and the Americas they will see evidence of this truth.They must demand to return nigeria to the people.It is the main reason they are there.It is the main job!They chose to horse around the status quo instead to protect their job. They embarked on "consitutional amendments". The only problem is they were amending a "decree".

We wish to remind the men and women elected into the two chambers that they have a very high morale obligation to the people of nigeria and africa.The military governments which lasted for decades had "rulers" like Sanni Abacha. Up until now we are not able to determine how you could operate a government in which such level of corruption existed. It was never captured by any audit or inquiries. You can't call such an arrangement a government or such a place a country.And it is up to each person to determine what to call a place governed in such a way.It was not possible to detect the gross abuse and stop it for the good of the nation. Nigeria has no way to capture this type of infraction and make it justiciable.It is always a post mortem pathology.The "forensic audit" that has been made so popular in nigeria remind one of a get man who is complicit in a robbery.By the time he alerts the authorities of the robbery the thieves are holding a party in their hideout.You start to worry if the people who claim nigeria is their estate really believe it.Even if one would consider it prodigal to run any estate or a cartel even in the manner that events depict.So far it appears they believe it is because it is exactly the way they have been running nigeria.

You do not wish to go back to the British government and ask if they made such a deal with anyone because it is foolish to do that.The head of state of the British Empire sent a proxy by the name of Princess Alexandria of Kent to hand the Freedom Charter to the nigerian people.Watch exactly what a civilized nation did in 1960 during the independence inactment. She handed the instrument of empowerment to the nigerian people represented by the house of parliament.This instrument was handed to Jaja Wachukwu who was the Speaker of the house at the time.There is therefore no truth in the claim of those who perhaps do not understand how civilized authority is transfered.The instrument of authority was not even handed to them! Their claim is the imagination of the wishful thinker. The nigerian people will determine if they want this unequal arrangement resulting from either ignorance or plain arrogance to continue. If not they could emphatically demand what they hitherto agreed to. Any one who will not honor an agreement is responsible for its abrogation. In which event everyone could return to what they were used to. We lived the old system in our ancestors for tens of thousands of years. Why must we perish now?If some section seek to become preponderant the rest would have to rethink the relationship.No reasonable person enters a relationship to perish in it. A situation where you are required to surrender to someone the right to decide whether you live or die is not one with a complicated recourse.

The citizens have fought so hard to change this for themselves.Every time the people that are suppose to help will betray them.The only thing left is for the citizens to take matters into their own hands. The people who can prevent that are the men and women in the two chambers.They can observe and determine inequities and highlight them even if they are not able to redress them.I say this because most do not understand it their function in a democracy.The purpose of the legislative arm of is to see the government runs smoothly.This is done through empowering legal muscle to bring about desired effects.They are in a position to make a decisive impact in such regard if they wish to become relevant.When you have a nation which calls itself a federation omit a region in the choice of leadership you know something is awfully wrong!We must get to where there is leadership that is reasonable.Citizen Wole Soyinka is a nigerian. In calling the nigerian government of that day mistaken in its approach to the conflict resulting from the 1966 coup he clearly showed his level of perception. We are not suprised at who he is today. Nigeria need men and women who have morale stature. It is easy to talk about unity and peace.Oppression has conflict embeded in it.In every unfair decision and choice is the element of conflict. It should not be lost to anyone that nigeria does not have to include the eastern nigeria to exist. Neither do the east need nigeria to exist.The union must be mutual!

If there were a few other people like this citizen who felt compassion for his fellow citizens at this very trying time five million lives would have been saved.The others worried about just themselves their careers and their personal future.If the equity he envisaged had been perceived by the others who knows where nigeria will be today? There will be perhaps an industrialized nigerian nation today rather than this perpetual infantile spectacle. We need men and women who understand that money is not everything.Some of us hold this man in a place of very high honor. We did and said so long before he won a nobel prize.Only in nigeria can a government loose almost its entire earning to corruption. What is troubling is that it went undetected. President Sanni Abacha owned nigeria and ran it like a personal estate.For all we know such a thing could still be going on.Who knows? We do not have the people who can question actions and intentions.The docile acceptance of everything on its face value is very unfortunate.If you are a leader it is because some people defered to you to protect their interest.

The military govern by decrees.How could they hand you a constitution? Our elected men and women are yet to fully comprehend the immense power and responsibilty of their position in a democracy. They are yet to understand that the people of nigeria litrarily depend upon their judgments and decisions whilst in the chambers of the national assembly.The chambers and the courts are suppose to be a check to an errant executive in a democracy.They are the only difference between any other type of government and a democratic one.How is it they allow oppression to persist even when the people have gallantly installed them?

With two elected houses how could nigeria be threatened by tyranny? Do they realize that each senator or assembly man or woman is a quasi "president" of his own electorate and consituency? You defend your turf and mandate with the mindset of an executive.There are suppose to be the clash of ideas and the choices and the selections of the best-fits.We could not have docile rubber stamp houses. Was that what the nationalist and agitators for a democratic nigeria died for? The houses in the states watch while governors run amok.The executive pocket or captures the judiciary and they take the convinient position of spectators. Are they under the illusion they are immune?Nigerians are expecting their representatives to get on with their work.The president ran with the promise to return nigeria to "true federalism".

The rest of us take that as a commitment to the nigerian people.No number of hangers-on or even impersonators will erase that.Until he claims otherwise the nigerian people hold the national assembly responsible for the inactivity along the direction of implementing this noble goal.Returning the nation to the founding constitution will guarantee that (a) the country survives and (b) the country grows.He had opined he did not wish to have the process dealt with outside the ambits of due process.We had thought that would have been all the signal the new body of legislators needed.Why are the nigerian people still waiting for this process to get started? Are they suppose to elect a prime minister to initiate the process? We are watching and hoping they realize that with high office comes high responsibilities.
