African Independent Television (AIT) is running
a documentary on Bola Ahmed Tinubu or a
man they also claimed is Yekini Ogunleye.
It’s been over 5 years since l last watched any
program on AIT. I gave up on them when
Ibrahim Babangida, Nigeria’s foremost tropical
gangster, bought Raymond Dokpesi, the owner
of DAAR Communications and AIT.
Bola Tinubu has taken his case to court. That
is not unexpected. He is a grown man and his
lawyers are at it.
I may have seen an abridged version of the
documentary. I was disappointed that l did not
see the names of the producers of the Lion Of
Bourdillion. I did not see the name of the
narrator. The year of production and all other
details that usually go with such a production
were missing from the version l saw online.
I simply hope that the original version
contains these information.
Some footages that need acknowledgement
were also used. It will amount to an extremely
poor piece of journalism if the version l saw
was the original version.
In any case, l imagined if Nigerian private
television stations have been airing these types
of documentaries since 1960, maybe Nigeria
would have been a saner country, a better
place.
I don’t know what proportion of the report is
true or false. That is Tinubu’s headache. He
and his legal team can roll with that.
The short arm of the law system in Nigeria has
really made a mess of many court cases and
proceedings. I am not a fan of the Nigerian
judiciary that is heavily compromised and
saddled with corruption. I wish Tinubu and
Daar Communications/AIT a wonderful time at
the endless proceedings at the ridiculous
Nigerian court of law.
Irrespective of what is true or false in the
Tinubu documentary which partly looks like an
advertorial for the government of Lagos State,
it is a welcome development. If the PDP paid
for the production and airing of the
documentary, it will be a pinch of salt from
the 21 billion naira raised in one day by
various criminals and vested interests
supporting Jonathan’s re-election. I wish AIT
goodluck.
Since AIT has now ventured into investigative
journalism and digging up both the past and
present, it would be more interesting to see
the follow up episodes.
I will like to see The Crook On The Minna Hill.
In this anticipated episode, AIT should tell us
how Ibrahim Babangida stole the money that
Nigeria made during the gulf war. They should
tell us why or how the same law system that
failed to catch up with Tinubu failed to catch
up with Babangida. AIT can even extend the
documentary on how one Mr. Raymond
Dokpesi could have benefitted from the stolen
12 billion dollars several years later. It will be
a blockbuster!
I will like to see the Criminal Couple From
Otuoke. In this story AIT can tell us how one
Patience Jonathan was investigated on several
occasions by the EFCC while her husband was
the deputy governor and later governor of
Bayelsa State.
AIT super investigators can tell us whose
money she was looting and under whose watch
they were been stolen. An update of the story
can include how the Jonathans have looted the
Nigerian treasuries directly and indirectly since
they got promoted to Aso Rock by Obasanjo.
A documentary closely related to the Criminal
Couple From Otueke will be How Nigerian
Transgender, Alamieyeseigha Fled London. AIT
may find the connection between the father
(Alams) and son (Jonathan) of Bayelsans.
Sometimes it is the prodigal son that forgives
the unrepentant father.
Since AIT knows about Tinubu’s drug business,
they may also probably highlight Jonathan’s
drinking problems as well as his domestic and
official weaknesses. If some serious
investigative journalism is carried out AIT may
be the first company to publish Jonathan’s Phd
thesis online.
Good luck AIT, hope you hit another
blockbuster!
The people of Nigeria will like to see the
documentary titled; Telephone Is Not For The
Poor -David Mark. When AIT is done with this
production they will be able to explain to
millions of middle and low class households
how there landlines vanished from the
telephone catalogues and for real in the
twinkle of an eye.
By doing some serious journalistic work like
they did with Tinubu, AIT may sucessfully trace
Nigeria’s budget for communication under
David Mark and Babangida to some Islands or
Tax Havens around the world. Let the search
begins!
AIT can even continue with the story of Mark
by analysing how much money has disappeared
from the Senate under his watch. They may
even uncover his plot to rule Nigeria under the
rumoured interim government. Who knows?
In the world of documentaries and
investigative journalism, there are no limits.
AIT can look at the option of making a
documentary titled: OBJ, Poor Farmer, Rich
President. They may uncover how Obasanjo’s
salaries helped him to rejuvenate his farm.
To make the documentary interesting they
should look at the role of Obasanjo in the
emergence of Yar Adua and Jonathan. Where
did the money for the campaigns come from
and which state suffered for it? AIT can even
tell those who do not know where the man
who sponsored the campaign is today.
There are so many attack and watch dogs in
and around Aso rock today.
What about AIT trying to make a documentary
about a story or two that I’d written about.
Imagine Sex, Drugs and Aviation! AIT, you have
my permission to use my research material to
do a series on Femi Fani-Kayode . He is a drug
abuser, a woman beater and a former looter of
the Ministry of Aviation. Don’t you think it will
be an interesting investigative documentary to
see the kind of campaign coordinator
superivsing the Otueke couple?
One Doyin Okupe was alleged to have stolen
from the people and government of Imo and
Benue States. For him, you can do the Tiger Of
Aso Rock. The documentary will show where to
run for cover after perpetrating crimes at the
state levels, a kind of graduation that is.
My parents are from the South Western part of
Nigeria which makes me a yoruba by birth. I
will like to see a documentary on The Drug
Baron Leading The Yoruba PDP in South
Western Nigeria. As my contribution to this
documentary, I will like to pay for his return
trip to the United States. Please mail me when
he’s ready to fly, it seems you have him in
your good books.
AIT common now, there are many, many series
you can run. Your followership will grow
nationally and internationally you’ll never go
bankrupt again even after Jonathan’s reign of
tyranny.
There is a man called Ali Modu Sheriff. He is a
close associate of Jonathan and an alleged
sponsor of Boko Haram. Go deeper into the
allegation and tell us what you find in the
Revelation Of Sambissa.
An alternative to the above will be How The
Opposition Sponsors Terror . I think Nigeria
and Nigerians will be intellectually richer when
you have produced all the above
documentaries. Perhaps you’ll help clueless
Jonathan unravel the missing links between the
opposition parties and Boko Haram.
Oh, l almost forgot. You should make a series
on Nigeria’s House Of Representa-thieves and
Legis-looters. You will not lack the materials to
work with on this one. You just need to prove
or disprove that the Nigerian National
Assembly for example is the most expensive to
run in the world.
You need to help Nigerians uncover the
mysterious sums that go down the drain daily.
Do a statistical analysis and see if the amount
of wastage is positively or negatively
correlated to laziness and the sleeping hours in
both houses.
What about a neutral topic like Religous
Country, Wicked People ? Make several visits to
the churches and mosques, try to explain the
poverty index, crime rate and mumuism
followership both religiously and politically.
You can show or disprove that religion leads to
intellectual laziness, negligence of social
obligations, lack of tolerance, bad government,
blind faith and organized political crime.
To ensure that your documentary series last
for several seasons, here are more suggestions:

Dear AIT and management, these suggestions
should keep you busy for the next 10 years.
When you start, you will see that there are
several more areas of investigative journalism
that will make your station the envy of global
journalism.
Please feel free to contact me for more
suggestions should you and your production
crew run of of ideas or scripts.
I hope you find genuine sponsors from around
the globe and that your employees will receive
local and international awards for their
investigations. This will move you and your
employees away from the disgraceful brown
enevelope, food-for-the-belly syndrome.
Nigerians will be more enlightened, the
politicians may sit up. The judiciary may have
finally met their own watch dogs. The
disoriented police force may find their lost
ryhthms and start doing their jobs rather than
shooting civilians at the ratio of 20:1.
The documentary on Tinubu should not be the
end. DAAR Communications, go to court and
fight your case.
I wish you goodluck at AIT and at the trial.
The pen is mightier than the sword!
