Odua-Nation Is the Greater Destroyer of Nigeria-state [Part II]
In my first chronicle on the above subject, many observers, commentators and readers triggered a massive response in a way of emails. Phone calls came in expressing their like and dislike of the piece, which is their prerogatives, the rest as they say, is history. But from all socio-econo-political indicators, decision to decision, defeat to defeat, opportunistic-manipulations to opportunistic-manipulations were approve of the above subject which remains true of Odua-Nation in respect to their political maneuvers inside Nigeria-state. Another element is their tribalistic-nature, greed and corruption which shamefully remain a-wide-spread-pandemic across our national-frontiers, today.
Odua-Nation's political intentionality and intelligibility sync of one-Nigerianism is a farce, as contradictions after contradictions manifest itself, present majority of them with theoretical and rhetorical nationalism—while in closed doors, these fellows are members of Odua-Peoples-Congress [OPC], organization whose allegiance is tribal-based. In the other hand, attempt is curiously made to demonize other tribal entities like MEND and MASSOB, etc, that have similar clannish-based tendencies organizationally. In short, these other group-formations came to be due in part, the lack of security, myriad discriminatory-practices, and other injustices visited against them inside Nigerian-plate. Indeed, clannish nature is reflected, in, pseudo-federalism, a pretended nationhood versed with unprogressive inclinations—inept and incompetent leadership, that reflects total backwardness in all spheres of its existence. By application, this ethnically driven regionalism became a regression to statehood and in-short, an obstacle to nation-building. Fellows, in my view, Odua-Nation’s Nigerianism is parochial, practically reflected in its destruction of all state institutions by this administration led by President Obasanjo in the name of free-trade and/or global-free-market-economy—centered on western imperial-capitalism based on liberalization and privatization that is culturally antithetical to our cultural heritage and values.
Current liberalization and privatization is a conjecture of true-reflexes of a fair-trade-market-economy for global peoples, as no nation can rush into privatization and liberalization without people’s centered-infrastructures in place to fall back on if plan A fails, plan B is an option; but Odua-Nation careless of this institutional implication, prefers to comply to World-Bank/IMF conditionalities of Washington as our peoples perish in poverty. Majority of their bloc-economic theory is based on joint-looting-methodologies of national treasuries without hesitations. In short, you are a great-partner and a-friend if you patronize looting. In other words, if your actions mean resisting the destruction and, pillaging of national treasuries you are number one enemy of the state. Okonjo is gone, fellows! Typical example is Andy Uba’s money laundry [under-educated fellow], who became Obasanjo’s Special Adviser. Uba is his in-law, and former special-adviser to Obasanjo was caught in money laundry with Presidential Jet, involving Obasanjo and his cronies while attending United Nations [UN] summit, in
New York
some months ago. Report from anonymous intelligence shows that the investigation directly tied Obasanjo in the fraud, but Obasanjo used his position to pressure
Washington
to narrow the investigation to Andy Uba and girlfriend. Uba resigned thereafter and today is the PDP candidature for
Anambra
State
. Additionally,
United States
intelligence [FBI] caught Obasanjo’s using his proxies, who criminally purchased farm equipment for Obasanjo’s Ottah Farm, worth millions of petro-dollars, petro-dollars stolen from the East, etc. These truths are self-evidence, that Odua-Nation is the greater destroyer of Nigerian-state based on these antecedents. The scheme of “chop I chop” mentality has deepened in the land—some call it Nigerian-mentality. It is obvious and dastardly disheartening—at the level of shamelessness of these fellows, always thinking everything from the standpoint of cronyism, legalizing illegalities of this magnitude, illegality that is antithetical to true-organizational leadership, good governance, transparency and ethics.
Talking about shamelessness and opportunism of folks, one quickly remember Oyo-state and the opportunistic illegitimate former Governor Akala, who now wants to return as a Deputy Governor, after threatening fire and brim-stone if the authentic Governor Lokoja shows up at the Government House. Curiously, after both Appeal and Supreme Courts ruled in a favor of authentic Governor Lakoja, Akala, in a twist backed by
Ibadan
thuggish godfather—Adedibu, surprisingly, is tittering and confused about Deputy Governorship. What a disgrace! What manner of man is Akala, what manner of folks are these? In a civilized society, disgraced Akala would beat a retreat, and resigned as soon as the Supreme Court in
Ibadan
declared his political sycophancy as illegitimate and unconstitutional. Unfortunately, Adedibu and Obasanjo always play to the gallery, showcasing their ever shining hypocrisy, sycophancy, and cowardice as their hallmark. There is no end in sight, as illiteracy and ignorance besieged our societies. Indeed, illiterate man is the victim of political maneuver. Illiteracy has become institutionalized because the nation is led by illiterate mines.
Looking at institutional manipulations, and political-machines facilitated by Aso-Rock, our sources report that it is the same old story: recycling illiterates, criminals, pillagers and plunderers against the wishes of the people since after the civil war—1967-1970. As Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] converges tomorrow in
Abuja
, there are credible reports that Obasanjo is micro-managing PDP primaries through his henchmen, to cherry-pick younger brother of Shehu Musa Yar’dua who was poisoned in jail by former military regime, led by Abacha or so. Musa Yar’dua is the Governor of Kastina State is being presented as the candidature of PDP, an attempt to cover-up Obasanjo loots including his crimes against humanity—a long walk this eight [8] years of a disastrous illegitimate administration in power. In short, according to sources, Odili, Duke and others have been pressured out of the presidential primaries in
Abuja
because some of them looted their state treasuries. We are privileged to say that honorable-men like Ukiwe and Gana and few others insist in contesting for the primaries at PDP platform. I respect these men of honor, men of principle in Ukiwe and pray that God preserve him forever. He is cream of creams left standing in this land today.
To shorten this communication, it is sad that five [5] legislators can come together to impeach a Governor[s], with political turmoil besieging the land, highway being constructed from Lagos to Kano, while Lagos Benin-Ora road remains unattended, with Christmas here, gentlemen this is unacceptable. I appeal to all Easterners from cross the country [whether you are Ijaw, Ibibio, Ogoni, etc] to return to the east for Xmas and stay there until the 2007 elections is over with. If you choose to stay then be prepared to defend your family, children and old peoples—the new-Igbo-doctrine—is your only self-defense. By application, whether you are a student, importer/exporter, small business owners, drivers, traders of all forms pack your stuffs and return to your mother land in the East as we monitor development of this elections if any. Money is not everything! We don’t want another repeat of pogrom from any quarter of this country. Be warned, if, you decides to stay in station, then, be prepared to defend yourself and your beloved family otherwise use this Xmas to return home for there are far and immediate dangers ahead of us. Finally in my first chronicle on this subject many asked for solutions and I promised recommending some as much as I can proffer, to get
Nigeria
out of this deep steep-hole.
Solutions and resolutions are as following:
- Nigeria must speedily restore this plate to regionalism, or true-federalism, or quasi-federalism to allow government get closer to the population being govern, so that citizens can hold their elected public officials accountable;
- Aggression against the people is simply wrong, our aggression should be against these looters, channeled through massive uprising which, seem over-due in this corrupt lawless place. This must be conducted in such a way that represents peoples-revolution. Revolution is way over-due in our frontier—sacrificing 10 million to calm and re-direct the land is not a bad idea—it is a must if we are serious about a comprehensive overhauling of the land otherwise we might as well forget all these empty rhetoric, essays, and other noises communicated electronically and in hardcopy;
- Immediate and aggressive conveyance of a national conference that sincerely represent the geo-political space of the plate, the current undemocratic electioneering smokescreens will lead us no where;
- To this writer, since 1960 of the so-called independence from British, we have saddled the plate with all forms of prepackaged governance of western so-called representative governance which, we have little idea of implementationally, at the executive, legislative and judicial levels; and, even when we do grasp these governance ideologies, illiterates at the corridor of leadership-positions, have fraudulently and, intentionally refused to follow the burden of constitutionality, with its enabling powers to its full-measures, without attributing judicial outcomes on tribal-conjectures to the other. By application we need to formulate and facilitate our own workable-governance nexus, free of western unworkable governance concepts today and leadership and those who govern must be prepared to obey the laws of the land—regardless of how highly placed in the society. For example Obasanjo ignoring court orders the height of it all; In fact Obasanjo, Babangida and others in their category should be concerned with their jailability rather than their uncomfortability of the present political-circumstances as they attempt to cover-up their stolen wealth; they are birds of the same feathers that flocks together; Accountability and responsibility must be key here. Obasanjo cannot account for his Bell University, Otta collapsed farm now booming with petro-dollars, to Transcorps, to unaccounted PTDF and his refusal to account for billions of petro-dollars makes it extremely difficult for EFCC to lunch-itself- into-true- war-on-corruption, period;
- Respect for the sanctity and sacredness of human life must be the epic-center of a new dispensation centered on equality, fairness and justice before God and man; anything short of the aforementioned or listed resolutions, will lead the nation-state to meet its waterloo that would apparently turn her into aggression and long drawn conflict for 50 to 100 year war between ethnic-groups et al. From all indicators, if we don’t take care,
Iraq
and Middle-East crisis in Gulf-peninsula will be a child’s play if we refuse to act now. Another option is a peaceful dissolution of this immovable entity called
Nigeria
. We will not continue to allow folks continue to drill oil-in- our towns, villages and waterways, while we live in object poverty. It is ridiculous and simply unacceptable.
In conclusion, it is my strong belief that this piece would allow you the chance think again if you think you can get away with murder forever. Perhaps, it will motivate some observers to intelligent discussions and decisions at varying individual and collective socio-econ-political quarters at this time for additional actionable resolutions. Good luck! I wish you have a wonderful and productive Merry-Xmas, Happy Holidays and Happy Year 2007 in advance as you consider these things. It is my view that we show outrage and a sense of urgency, as we are racing against time. In physics, some scientists remarked that energy lost can never be regained, but we can make the best of the immediate. Let’s make the best of this opportunity presented us [2007], an opportunity to get it right today or this plate is doomed for disaster; we will either survive together or perish together. Worse still, posterity will not forgive us if we fail today.
This is the conclusion of the chronicles on Odua-Nation…………
