Politics › Peace Corps Clears Air On Allegations Of Extortion by backtalkG(op): 5:12pm On Apr 23, 2021 |
The Peace Corps of Nigeria has dismissed as baseless and unwarranted, allegations of extortion or wrong-doings in the ongoing payment for plastic Identity Card fees by its officers and men across the Country. The Corps claimed that there was nothing strange in the traditional payment for Annual Membership Dues/ ID Card Fee by social organization worldwide, especially non-governmental organizations. Reacting to a publication by an on-line medium, Sahara Reporters alleging extortion in the ID Card renewal fee to be paid by its bona-fide members, Peace Corps made it clear that the Identity Card fee payment is legitimate in any voluntarily establishment. Even members of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, Nigerian Bar Association, Nigerian Medical Association amongst others have similar fees paid by its members annually. The question begging for answer is that does the International Passport being issued by the Federal Government go for free when go for renewal? In a statement issued in Abuja to debunk the allegations published by Sahara Reporters and credited to some disgruntled “members “ of the Corps the organization claimed that the annual renewal of ID Cards, which is for the personal identification and security of the holder, is even optional for members and therefore cannot be given any fraudulent correlation. The statement read in part "the status of the Peace Corps of Nigeria for now is a Non-Governmental Organization that depends on annual membership dues and identity card renewal fees are parts of its source of income. "This is adequately provided for and legally protected in Article 21 sections (ii) and (iii) of the Constitution of the Corps as Incorporated by the Corporate Affairs Commission and accorded recognition by the Federal Government of Nigeria. "Despite relevant provisions which also include periodic payment of dues and levies, as may be approved by the Peace Corps Council when the need arises, such payment is never made compulsorly and no officer of the Corps since its inception in 1998 has ever been punished for non payment of the fees. "Hence the false alarm raised by the so-called unnamed members of the Corps as published by Sahara Reporters is highly mis-leading, unwarranted and unjustifiable. "The annual fees and other legitimate levies being paid by the bona-fide members of the Corps are what the organization has been using to sustain its activities including advancing the objectives of the Corps over the years. "These include payment for the Headquarters and its State Command offices nationwide, the overhead and running costs of the offices, programs and other activities of the organization, both locally and internationally, including sponsorship of its officers for participation in the United Nations meetings and conferences across the globe. "It should be noted that if not for the mere mischief to mis-represent the good intentions of the organization, aside from several court judgments that have so far vindicated the Peace Corps of wrong doings or fraudulent activities, this organization has over the years been given clean bill of health by Police and ICPC of any involvement in any criminal activity. "Therefore, any one in doubt may wish to visit the headquarters of the Corps to see for themselves such documentary clearance. "Again, the identity cards in possession of the officers and men of the Corps will expire on 10th July 2021 and it has been the tradition of the organization that bona-fide members of the Corps to pay the complementary fee for its renewal. "It should be on record that the organization is neither been funded by government nor receiving any form of subvention, locally or internationally, from any organization but has depended on its internationally generated income for data capturing, production, distribution and other logistics involved in the processing of the ID cards, especially now that the organization is migrating from its paper ID cards to a plastic one and had contracted an ICT Company to handle such.” "Furthermore, it should be noted that because of the prevailing economic reality and the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic, the organization, in the last three years waived the payment of the requiste dues by its officers and men nationwide and this is already affecting the organization adversely.” "It should also be noted that the essence of the verification exercise is to update the record and current membership strength of the Corps for security reasons as most members of the Corps are no longer active with the organization but still parading themselves with the expiring identity cards of the Corps.” Let it also be made clear that we do not know where the so called members of the organization got the figure of the 180,000 members who are being alleged to have been asked to pay the 5000 Naira before participation in the verification exercise as it was less than 60000 forms that was distributed to the 36 State of the Federation including the Federal Capital Territory. The statement therefore counselled media organizations especially Sahara Reporters to always cross check their facts before rushing publications so as to avoid mis-informing the general public and damaging the corporate image and reputation of the Corps earned over the years. |

Politics › A Cold-Blooded Beast Called Isa Pantami By Femi Fani-Kayode by backtalkG(op): 12:27pm On Apr 22, 2021 |
A COLD-BLOODED BEAST CALLED ISA PANTAMI
I am glad that a young, brilliant and deeply courageous freelance journalist by the name of David Hundeyin thoroughly thrashed, disgraced and removed the pants of a shameless ignoramus, bumbling fool and decrepit slowpoke called Kabir Bako on Channels Televisions' 'Politics Today' last night.
The latter had attempted to defend the indefensible by seeking to justify and rationalise the despicable and totally unacceptable submissions and actions of the embattled Minister of Communications, Sheik Isa Pantami.
I considered giving Pantami a soft landing a few days ago and opted to forgive him for his offensive, dangerous and repugnant vituperations only because he had publicly expressed his regrets but this is no longer the case because his expression of remorse was clearly not genuine or heart-felt.
If it was he would not have sent Kabir to Channels Television to defend those vituperations. The matter was made worse by the fact that the man spoke utter rubbish and sounded little better than a village idiot.
Now that his friends and supporters are attempting to justify and rationalise what he has said and done, I am free to speak my mind about Pantami and this short contribution serves only as the first shot. More will come later.
For him to publicly express the fact that he is "happy" when those he described as "unbelievers" are murdered reflects his homicidal, sociopathic and psychotic mind-set and is not only indefensible but also unforgivable.
And there is so much more that he has said and done, including his allgeged participation in a frightful event in Bauchi state a few years ago which allegedly resulted in the tragic death of a young Christian student and which I will write about at a later stage.
Simply put the Minister is a hater of Christians and non-Muslims. He is a religious bigot, an ethnic supremacist, an unrepentant jihadist, a lover of bloodshed, carnage and terror and a psychopathic and clearly insane induvidual who may well have been responsible for the slaughter of many innocent Christians over the years as a consequence of his inflammatory rhetoric and reckless actions.
His attempt to defend his evil ways and justify them by sending out idiots like Kabo to speak for him disgusts me. In any case if he had the courage of his convictions why can't he speak for himself?
Does he not owe himself that much? Is he a coward? Does he not have guts? Is he scared of a real fight?
It appears that behind all the bravado he is nothing but a chicken-hearted little quisling who is terrified of his own shadow and who cannot stand the heat of public discourse.
Whatever is behind his cowardly disposition and reluctance to stand up for himself like a man one thing is clear: not only should he resign or be dumped as a Minister but he also ought to be arrested and sent to Nigeria's equivalent of Guantanamo Bay which is a special facility for terrorists, built by the British Government a few years ago, in Kuje Prison in Abuja.
This self-seeking and fanatical monster and cold-blooded and heartless beast who regards himself as a high standing member of our community and who constantly and disrespectfully refers to Christians as "unbelievers" should be arrested by the authorities like a common criminal, stripped naked, put in chains, placed in a tiny monkey cage, paraded before the public, tried in a court of law and made to spend the rest of his sorry life in that facility for his undying and remorseless support and love for terrorist organisations like Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
Worse of all is the very serious allegation that some of those that have called him out have had their lives threatened and that fatwas have been issued on them by both the Minister and his supporters.
Building bridges across religious, regional and ethnic lines and seeking to establish the peace between hitherto hostile groups and warring factions in our country does not include tolerating the presecence of or fellowship with those who seek to kill our people, wipe out our Christian faith, destroy our values and norms and change our way of life.
No single religion can lord it over another in our country because ours is a secular state with constitutional guarantees for members of all faiths.
I utterly despise those extremists that think and behave like Pantami and I have nothing but sheer contempt for all that they stand for and seek to achieve.
The days of butchering, threatening, talking down to and insulting Christians in our country are long over and those that habitually indulge in such things must have a rethink before it is too late.
I consider the millions that have been slaughtered in the East, West, Middle Belt and core North in the name of jihad and sectarian violence over the last 60 years and I shudder with anger and disbelief.
I remember Gideon Akaluka who was beheaded in Kano many years ago, the young female RCCG Pastor who was murdered in the streets of Abuja for preaching the gospel a few years back, the 800 innocent souls that were butchered in their homes in Southern Kaduna on Christmas day in 2016, the thousands that were slaughtered in Plateau, Kano, Adamawa, Taraba, Benue, Gombe, Borno, Bauchi and so many other places over the years, the hundreds of thousands that were subjected to pogroms in the North in 1966 just before the civil war and the millions that were subjected to genocide and ethnic cleansing during that war. And there is so much more.
These ugly and sad events are indelibly entrenched in the minds, hearts, bodies, spirits and souls of millions of Christians in our country and the fact that, in accordance with the dictates of our faith, we are constrained to forgive and turn the other cheek must never be misconstrued for stupidity or weakness.
We remember every single one of those that achieved martyrdom and that were cut short for their faith and in our hearts we still mourn them. The fact that they died in Christ and are therefore with the Lord in paradise is our only consolation.
We also remember those that suffered and are still suffering untold hardship and persecution simply because they are followers of Christ and we do so with much pain and regret.
Yet let me say this loud and clear: enough is enough! The mass murder, religious cleansing and endless, godless blood-lettting that we have witnessed over the years against Christians cannot and must not continue.
The Christians of Nigeria are no longer prepared to be anyone's sacrificial lamb or whipping boy. The people of Nigeria are no longer prepared to accept religious extremism or intolerance.
Both the Muslims and Christians of Nigeria must all be protected and treated fairly and equally under the law and neither must be killed or persecuted for their faith. There is no room for fundamentalism on either side.
I have as much contempt and hatred for a Christian that kills Muslims simply because he does not share his faith as I do for a Muslim that kills Christians for the same reason.
Religious intolerance is primitive, barbaric, antedelluvian and archaic Those that suffer from that affliction do not deserve to be called Nigerians and they should do us a favour by moving elsewhere.
The good news is that the Muslims in our country that think like Pantami are relatively few. They do not represent the mainstream Muslims of Nigeria and neither do they represent the North. They represent only the Islamist terrorists of Boko Haram, Al Qaeda, Al Shabab, ISIS and the Taliban.
They are also ideologically coupled and embedded with the foreign Fulani terrorists and bandits that have plagued our land, that are killing our people, that are tormenting our farmers, that are raping our women and that have a strange and inexplicable affection for cows.
Not only is the cold-blooded beast called Pantami not fit to be a Minister of the Federal Republic but he is also not fit to walk our streets freely because he presents a grave danger to our people and our society.
The sooner he is dropped from President Buhari's cabinet like a hot potatoe and brought to justice the better. The world is watching.
