As the United States President, George Walker Bush II and his administration welcomes President Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria today March 29, 2006, it is important that we bring to fore the massive machinations and failings of Obasanjo’s administration pointedly to the global community, Nigerians and interested entities for their reviews, evaluations and recommendations. Obasanjo’s administration and his ill-advised policies have dramatically worsened the living conditions of Nigerians through its misguided privatization, liberalization, and corporatization which of course, were coerced on our people by their Western patrons via IMF & World Bank. In short, Nigeria has been sold out to the imperial energy-multinationals of the so-called industrialized world; while in the meantime, our peoples depletes below poverty line literally. Essentially, these foreign oil-moguls in short are dominant controllers of our energy- sector[s], and remain the imperial beneficiaries of these fraudulent, criminal practices found within its frontiers; as this is graced by domestic late-comers, which serves as their gate-keepers, gatekeepers that would circumvent anything for petro-dollar. Bottom-line, Nigerian-peoples need to hasten their efforts toward regaining its freedom and liberty from these individuals and stop selling itself to the west for dimes. The quest for freedom and liberty is possible and accomplishable vis-à-vis nationalism. Accordingly, we want to unequivocally state here and now that Obasanjo is not welcome into the United States; he must quickly return home in shame; we additionally demand the followings: - Evidently, the time has come to expel immediately all alien-energy-multinational companies current exploiting, degrading and drilling gas/oil across our land—and, in their stead, organizational takeover, and control of these oil/gas industry by indigenous honest experts in their place, for the betterment of our suffering, dying peoples, additionally, efforts must be deployed to diversify the economy for good;
- International community and interested bodies need to know that due to misplaced power found this administration and past totalitarian administrations witnessed dehumanizing policies, a dehumanization that has worsened the conditions of Nigerians today more than any other time;
- We demand that Ibrahim Babangida, Akilu and their cronies be apprehended to account for the oil windfall of the first Gulf War. This windfall worth over 100 billions of dollars; in addition to that, he must be prosecuted for the death of Dele Giwa and others assassinated under his totalitarian rule—the aforementioned billions of dollars/funds currently starched-away in foreign accounts, must be retrieved with the assistance and partnership of the custodian-financial institutional houses in these countries, these funds should be retrieved and channeled into education, technology/science, employment, communication, energy, and other sectors that needs them toward bettering and strengthening the well-being of our people. Babangida, must stop forthwith, further insults, injuries on our peoples dreaming of running for an office, after eight years of his murderous military regime; this people needs healing not additionally insults on their injuries by Babangida;
- Obasanjo must henceforth cease bettering the tourism industry of United States and Europe and start doing something-else, toward bettering the tourism industry of Nigeria. For documentation, Obasanjo has made over 100 trips to Europe and America since he was selected President of this enterprise, by the Northern Oligarchy to administer the land—Nigerian-state in 1999;
· This administration must cease forthwith, from distorting the constitution, as the unconstitutionality surrounding his Third-Term-Project [TTP], in all intents and purposes will not materialize. In conclusion, let’s be clear—these and other recommendations as put forward, are demands that we believe will improve the living stardand of this people, and create an effective and efficiently mechanisms and or capacities toward bettering the well-being of our peoples; this and much more will provide the platform that would facilitate the passage, permit peace and tranquility to reign in Nigerian-state. Finally, it is significant to note that Nigeria and its peoples must atop any priority in any developmental programs, regardless of the form or shape fo these programs as it pertains toward meeting agenda et al. Strategizing new and unfinished agendas are must do assignments for implementation, including those priorities that showcases and represents the strategic interest of your Western patrons.
