Politics / Re: Kashamu Refuses To Appear In Court As NDLEA Maintains Seige by akeweje: 9:07pm On May 25, 2015
Guys, you all need to understand that senators are not covered by immunity neither does NDLEA needs a warrant to arrest someone if there's a probable cause to do so.
What Kashamu Buruju is waiting for is Wednesday, 27th. He has instituted a case seeking a PERPETUAL INJUNCTION from prosecution and he's most likely to get a favorable judgement because he's alleged in political circle to have that same judge in his pocket, on his payroll. Curiously, all the cases he filed in the past have been assigned to the same judge and he has always got favorable judgements. NDLEA and his political traducers are aware of this and that's why they'll stop at anything to ship him to U. S before Wednesday. On the other hand, if he gets that judgement on Wednesday, he can never be tried again in Nigeria or extradited till he dies!. He has planned to get the judgement before May 29th when GEJ is still in power. So, it'll get more interesting between now and Wednesday as OBJ and others have the last chance to ship Kashamu Buruji to the U. S failure of which he will legally walk freely for life. They all know the game they are playing very well and someone must win!.
If you ask him if it's possible to get perpetual injunction in Nigeria, Peter Odili is enjoying it and he can never be tried for corruption/embezzlement that allegedly happened under his watch as governor even if his well-known enemy becomes Nigeria President.

Car Talk / Re: A Ghastly Motor Accident Along Akure - Ilesha Expressway by akeweje: 1:46am On Aug 11, 2014
VolvoS60:

^^^^
You have said it all. There isn't much more to add.

Hold on VolvoS60, there is still one more thing to add. I've gone through your posts on this thread and you've made very good points. I want to commend you for passing across your messages without insulting others. Regulatory failure is one of the biggest factors affecting our development in Nigeria. I agree with you. I know you agreed with some other people that paradigm shift for drivers is important but you don't feel, from your several posts, that it's as strong as government failure( that may be my assumption going through your posts though because you stressed govt failure more than others).
I'm very interested in this discussion because I had an accident on Nigeria road just recently that I had to be flown outside the country for better treatment. Thank God I'm fine now. My point is I don't want you to think less of other points raised by other people here. To me, all of you have made very good arguments on both sides and all should be ignored. I always ask people anytime they blame government that; who are the governments?. Where did those people come from before they got to power?. Who "elected" them into power?. I know you'll agree with me that the so-called government are us (our brothers,friends,family members and accomplices). They grew up among us and they rose to power because we allowed them and supported them. All of us have failed the country. I mean it!. All of us one way or the other. We have no moral value anymore. Corruption is the other of the day. We celebrate mediocrity. Pastors and imams organize prayers and thanksgivings for the ones that have "arrived" among us not caring to know how they "arrived". Parents don't even care how the children "made it" anymore. Parents teach their children how to steal WAEC questions and teach them lies from day one. Imagine a parent telling her child to tell a visitor that she's not around when she's actually inside. What do you expect that child to become in life?.
There are countless fundamental reasons why we are the way we are in Nigeria and nothing is going to change soon unless miracle happens. I'm not that religious to expect God to intervene in our issues and I hate people mentioning God in Nigeria every time but the rate at which Nigeria is degenerating makes me wonder if we are humans. We are richly blessed with everything but still couldn't advance.
Look at the political situation of things in Nigeria, who among us even with good intentions can get to power without dining with the people that want the status quo to remain. Our mentality has been bastardized to the extent that we see educated people praising "performing" governors that " at least he's doing something even he embezzles the rest". Oh my!. Nigeria's case is the more you look, the less you see. So, how do you get political wills to deal with these issues. I think our challenges are multifaceted and can be surmounted. How?. It takes all of us to figure it out and my approach to this discussion is always from the bottom up and not from the top to bottom. It starts from us. The people in power grew up among us. We celebrate them to their faces and denied them behind their back. We "assisted" to rig elections and to get to power. A contestant cannot steal all the ballot boxes by himself across the nations!. They will return to us at the expiration of their tenures and we'll send another person there to continue. All of us are just waiting for our own opportunities in Nigeria. We are wonderful creatures. We have several laws that have been made but implementation is one of our problems. The FRSC staff are our husbands, wives, family members. They start building houses within 3 months of getting jobs and we don't raise eyebrows. How did they make the money?. Who will then regulate?. Who are the governments?. Who will you report to that an officer collects bribes?. Police?. Your guess is as good as mine. But guess what, Obj, Jonathan, IG, Chidoka will not come down from Abuja to look for erring officers. I know I keep rambling but I love Nigeria a lot and I want things to work for her but we Nigerians, including you and I don't. We are too selfish. We are corrupt, we steal and embezzle. We represent everything that can go wrong. We are only talking about agency that lead to direct death like FRSC now. How about Custom?. I developed high blood pressure dealing with them. Police?. Civil servants in various ministries and departments?. Etc. How do we make things work?. We are all Nigerians and we are the cause of the problems. Americans and Europeans won't do it for us, they can't even survive in the system if they come. We are the government, they are our kinsmen and tribesmen. Nothing will change unless we change ourselves. It starts from you and I. How can you make it in this society without giving or taking bribe?. Without greasing people's palms?. The system is designed by us for people to fail unless you "play along". How many rich people do we have in Nigeria without government patronage?. Don't let me derail to another thing. I comment here because I just had an accident on Nigeria road myself. No first aid, nothing. I could have died. Oh!, I forgot to mention that I was taken out of the car by a Good Samaritan and we met FRSC staff on the way. He stopped and told them to take me to the hospital but they refused. Instead they went to secure the wrecked vehicle. They are Nigerians and few of them in their vehicle. They'll not get punished even if I report because I'm not a Jonathan of this world.
Can the change come by concentrating everything in Abuja?. Can we make good argument for devolution of power?. How do we reduce corruption that has eaten deep into anything Nigeria?. Can we regulate better if we have state, LG or city FRSC instead of Federal?. How about the process of issuing drivers' license?. Of inspection vehicles by VIO?. Can we change who we are for better?. With all the regulatory laws in the book, things will still remain the same if we don't have attitudinal change. If we are not determined to make Nigeria work. Please let's start from bottom up, from who we are. One person at a time. What do you think?. I'm here to learn more.
