UNCONSTITUTIONAL ARREST BY 'UNCONSTITUTIONAL OFFICER'


About the on going INNOSONS  case  with EFCC (should  be GT Bank), the Igbos  are once more being called names and accused especially by some half baked journalists  for ' over expressing  tribal sentiments and crying wolves' .The condemnation by the Deputy senate President and some SE  senators earned  them been singled out as unpatriotic,though many well meaning politicians  from the north also condemned the disrespect of law by the EFCC. As  usual many stories  are trending on the (IGBO) Social  media, especially  many venting their anger on GTBank which they believe is using the EFCC to destroy their  or our (Nigerian)  prime pride in industrialisation.



Well the Igbos or South Easterners may be called anything but what would  you think or how could you behave  when the person doing the arrest or whatever is  imposed on the nation by what may not want to associate with  tribal sentiments or Cabal and occupying a position unconstitutionally(not undergoing due processes ):having been rejected  by the senate, therefore illegally imposed on the nation? 
Did those talking of Igbo tribal sentiments think of this?If they did,may I know their views?
I doubt a real  Igbo person  would be ashamed to accept that he reasons as an Igbo person. I have Igbo origin and I admit that I am also  influenced by the Igbo philosophy or philosophies just like that of the other places I have had reasonable learning process period, i.e  places I have lived including Nigeria which though is still a disappointment but is home to  the most wonderful peoples on earth.
Why then should I be  embarrassed  by the rantings of a culture-less 'EFEKEFE' (nonentities) who wants me to swallow every rubbish as not to be tagged an Igbo sentimentalist. He better look  for his own philosophies and be proud of it.

He Statement Of An Eye Witness From Dong… via Phone…
‘I was at Kwalumo when a friend called me from Lawaru that legions of Fulani herdsmen are trooping into their village. On the phone, I heard some scaring gun sounds that can only be liken to a nightmare from the pit of hell. I immediately dial Klomoso’s Number to help notify Hama Dong. While putting a notice to Klom, I saw Lawaru on flames! It pained me so much knowing my biological mother who went there earlier that day might have been killed!! I ask the guys around to go with me! I wanted to go and rescue my mother dead or alive!!
We went in good spirit with no gun but guts. At Ngodon, We met hundreds of women running into bushes. I saw Sapwada, I asked where are our men? she said she said the vow to die standing!!
I  was provoke the more, but the atmosphere cold me.
Within some minutes, we saw them trooping into Dong. We hide, watching them burn our houses. Under the tree on which I was hiding, those fulanis raped seven girls of 12-14yrs..
Aside that, a helicopter was hovering over, and giving them cover.. At a certain point when we noticed they were running out of arms, We mobilized from bushes to face them. No too long a military jet let loose a bomb on us killing many of us….
As am speaking to U now, most of our men were killed by d four air strikes while children and women by the Fulani…..””

THE NIGERIAN SLAVE MONGERS HYPOCRISY BY Chukwubike OC part 1

LIBYANS   ENSLAVING "SLAVES"
OUR HYPOCRISY
OUR SILENCE
SOCIETAL  CHANGES 
ARE WE ALL IN IT?


After seeing the few photographs  recently  coming from Libya  and the hypocritical out cry from African countries especially Nigeria I would like us to answer some of  these questions:
  • HOW, WHY AND FROM WHERE DID THEY GET THERE? As we wail and curse Libyans  we ask ourselves and the govt,why,how and from where did they get there? Is this the first time we are hearing of this phenomenon? Is it cheaper for the govt to send plans to cart away her citizens than making  correct educational policies that would mould out prepared, productive  and employable youths to face the present world economic changes ? Why are the victims people predominantly from a particular geographical area ? 
  • IS IT OUR FIRST TIME OF SEEING SLAVES ? Is it not hypocrisy of the highest level to deny we are not all slave mongers? From our Clergy,politicians,civil servants,business people and even to  our Nollywood and entertainment people: the neo-bourgeois  we have been shouting at the Libyans but just take a second and  have a look in your household and around you  now and tell me if  you do not have one or two 'slaves'? Are you not deceiving your conscience with the employment or the  'assisting a relation that would have been in a worse situation' reason? Those Libyan animals have exactly the same reasons like you.  Are you treating him or her  like your child or if employed are you following the govt regulations in time and stipend ? Tell me now are you a slave monger or not? Are we not all Libyans on different levels with different reasons/motives?
  • HAVE WE NOT SENT OUT SLAVES TO WORK FOR US? As we enslave in Nigeria do we (those that have cash)  not send our brothers and sisters to other countries to go and 'survive' there? Do we not sell lands and other properties to send untrained, unskilled  and unemployable people overseas? To do what?  Do we not curse them when they do not send cash ,cars or build houses in their first years overseas  still knowing  that even the hosts and employers do not even boast of such at the same short time? Do we not  NOW in our churches, cultural places and placements  show more apparent respect to those that enslaved themselves more and made money more and quicker for that maatter?
  • Are you not deceiving yourself when you (especially those from the Mid-western states) believe that your daughter with ring worms on her head,without even a complete high school education is going to Italy through the Sahara desert and Mediterranean sea to work in an Italian restaurant?  Can you see now who the slave monger is? He is not the Libyan certainly; that Libyan rapist  is just  a criminal managing the slaves you sent to him.
  • TO BE CONTINUED.........

OUR "STUPID" TRADITIONS




OUR STUPID TRADITIONS by Evaristus Ogbechie
There’s no place like home. So goes a very popular saying. I guess whoever coined it, had some degree of positivity attached to it. However, a look at some of the places many of us call ‘home’, will without a doubt get one thinking that this saying may not be valid after all. At least, not for everybody.
After my last trip to my country, Nigeria, I must confess experiencing a reappraisal of my hitherto strong belief, in that saying. I came back to Europe with so many unanswered questions lingering in my mind: What has happened to us as a people? What has become of our national conscience? Why is everyone in such a hurry? Where are we trying to get to? Why can’t we just walk, like all the other peoples of this world? Why have we erased the word ‘patience’ in our dictionary?

Nigeria, today, is a country where everybody blames everyone for all societal ills, and the government for not providing all that she should. All of their needs. Corruption is the most discussed topic in Nigeria, and is of course, condemned by everyone you discuss it with. This should have you thinking that everybody hates corruption in Nigeria. Far from it. Yes, we all condemn it, but only a handful would actually hold back from enjoying the fruits of corruption. If your brother is made a minister, and doesn't bring back home money stolen from government coffers, and you call him a fool. Which Nigerian wouldn’t like to have the president, his vice, or some other high-ranking politician, attend his wedding ceremony, or any other ceremony of the sort? 

In Nigeria, everybody is a ‘born again’ Christian, Muslim, animist, or something. God is mentioned without fear. One gets the impression, that we may all be direct descendants of the biblical Pharisees. I must quickly add here, that there are however, people who are true about their faith. People with love in their hearts. The problem is that religion has become so monetized, that it’s difficult to know where business ends, and true religion begins.
I have come to a humble conclusion, that behind our ‘grab- grab’ attitude; that behind the societal pressure to ‘perform’, which we all feel so helplessly, are our traditions. We celebrate everything from births, to deaths, weddings, chieftaincy titles, anniversaries, promotions, etc. Everyone you ask why we need to spend millions of naira on all of these events, will readily respond, that it’s the demand of our tradition to do so. It doesn’t matter if one can afford to celebrate so lavishly or not. He is expected to do so. It doesn’t matter if he has to steal to do so. He has to do it, like everybody else.
Permit me to say, that it smells more to me, like the demands of consumism and materialism, to do so.

People are encouraged to show off what they may not even have.
People need to boost their egos. It no longer is wise, to blame the meagre-salaried police men, for asking for their 100 naira ‘personal tax’ from vehicles at their checkpoints, and other such places. Considering that a policeman cannot save millions of naira from his salary, and that he has to spend millions of naira in the event of his father’s burial, where do you expect him to come up with such staggering amounts? How can the average politician be honest, when he knows that people would expect him to celebrate in a big way, his his own traditional events? Add the tradition of money being ‘sprayed’, at such ceremonies, and you know how sick our traditions are.
 
Put a ban, on these stupid traditions, and we would have taken a giant step towards the achievement of socio-economic development in Nigeria. Money, which is needed, to be reinvested in existing businesses, and the creation of new ones, is lavishly thrown away, on the daily.
Why do we put so much pressure to perform on ourselves? Why do we keep inviting stress to our doorsteps? This unending pressure to perform, is the reason we have corrupt politicians, clergymen, armed robbers, kidnappers, cultists, secret society adherents, prostitutes, drug dealers, etc. Ask any one of them why he or she is so desperate, to ‘make it’, and you will hear that they want to get theirs too.
We Nigerians deserve to live better than we are doing presently. We have the resources, and brains to do so. The world is moving ahead, slowly but steadily. We shouldn’t be left behind. Let’s stop behaving like crabs in a basket, pulling each other down. God bless Nigeria.
