PoliticsMy Watch: What Does Baba Iyabo Want? by chesterlee(op):
Nigeria is a unique place in the World by all
standards. It is a place where anything is
possible. It is a place so naturally endowed with
abundant natural and human resources that we
have practically all ‘brands’ of human beings;
some exemplary in conduct, while some are
only masters in pointing accusing fingers but
quite hypocritical in real life. While it is normal
to have these classifications in a normal
habitation, what is, however, worrisome is that
we presently have a situation where an
individual who had eight years to lead by
example and failed woefully, is now working
tirelessly to unsettle his Successors who are
working hard to fix the mess he created. What
an irony! In 1999 after nearly two decades of military rule, Nigeria was ushered into the fourth attempt at democratic rule. The beneficiary of this new dispensation was Olusegun Obasanjo. Many People heaved a sigh of relief that the ex-General, who had just come out of Prison, was going to replicate Mandela in Nigeria. Most people thought because he had undergone the Prison experience just like Mandela, he would lead like a statesman devoid of bitterness, pettiness and rancor. How wrong we were! Instead of replicating Mandela, he
rather attempted unsuccessfully to replicate
Mugabe. He had the opportunity to be like
Mandela but blew it on the altar of hypocrisy.
It is against this background that I find his
vituperations quite disturbing. How can one be
preaching a gospel he never practised when he
had the opportunity? What good governance
did he practice while in office? What are his
legacies? Hypocrisy simply means preaching
what you don’t or never practiced. Mr.
Obasanjo should examine his face in the mirror
before he points his fingers at others.
It is indisputable that Nigeria is passing through
a difficult and challenging time. It is a well
known fact that we are undergoing series of
security challenges. It therefore demands that
Leaders be statesmanlike in comments and
actions. The current ranting of OBJ totally falls
below the standard expected of a former
President. His motives are quite questionable.
Could it be the usual cry of a godfather who has
been dumped by his anointed Son? Could it be
patriotism? This is most unlikely!
In one of his usual ranting, he even accused the
entire National Assembly of being corrupt.
Although it is true that corruption is endemic in
our Society, it does not, however, justify
labeling the entire institution of Parliament as
corrupt. During his time everyone witnessed his
type of ‘transparency.’ Everyone saw the
desperate attempt made to remove Hon Ghali
Umar Na’Abba from his position. It was, indeed,
a national embarrassment when members of
the Federal House of Representatives displayed
the lorry load of money offered them to
impeach the then Speaker Na’Abba. So did he
just realize today that the National Assembly
was corrupt? Did he not contribute to the
problem in the National Assembly today? He
actually planted the seed of this problem when
he in 1999, prevented the popular candidate
Okadigbo from emerging as the Leader of the
National Assembly, and installed Enwerem as
the Senate President. That was the root of the
crisis in the National Assembly which set the
tone for future executive interferences. He had
the worst relationship with the Legislature in
our history, and had a cat and mouse
relationship with his Vice President. He is
certainly not a democrat and, therefore, has no
moral compass to navigate in the territory of
transparency. The fact he continues to pour his
venomous ranting unchallenged is attributable
to the fact we have a President who is the very
opposite of him, especially in terms of
tolerance and liberality. Baba Iyabo would
definitely not tolerate such ranting from a
former head of state had he been the President.
He should thank his stars that President
Jonathan is generally calm and liberal, and not
a vindictive person like him.
If the truth must be told, suffice it to say that
the foundation of over 90% of the present mess
we have was rooted in the Obasanjo
administration. Let us examine just a few of
them just for illustrations.
The issue of sharia and the security challenges
it created. Obasanjo never addressed this
volatile issue for fear of being labeled a bigot.
He conveniently ignored the threats and openly
boasted everywhere that Sharia would die a
natural death. His approach was too
lackadaisical for a President. Today he is still
alive to see the consequences of his negligence
of duty.
Secondly his ill fated attempt to perpetuate
himself in power which is commonly known as
the third term gambit. This inordinate ambition
to remain in power beyond the Constitutionally
enshrined 8 years led to a desperate attempt to
amend the Constitution and compromise our
democratic institutions. It was alleged that
billions of tax payers’ money was wasted in this
abortive attempt. Although he has always
denied this, his daughter Iyabo has however
corroborated this well known fact that indeed
he harbored this illicit ambition to do a
‘MUGABE’ and desperately attempted but failed
to actualize this.
The greatest injustice Mr. Obasanjo did to Nigeria
was the alleged imposition of a sick Yar’Adua on Nigeria. Having failed to actualise his 3rd term gambit, Yar’Adua was the last joker he played. Although he denied ever knowing that Yar’Adua was
terminally sick, many analysts continue to
allege that he indeed knew of Yar’Adua health
problems and merely tried to use him to
achieve the third term through the back door.
His daughter Iyabo has also buttressed the
story that he indeed knew about the health
conditions of Yar’Adua. The demise of Yar’Adua
generated so much tension and led to a chain
of reactions which are not yet resolved till date.
What about his crude approach to Law
enforcement? Can anyone forget how he
ordered the military action in ODI which led to
the massacre of an entire town? What about
Zaki Biam? The list is endless.
Under his regime, politically motivated
assassinations were the order of the day. Till
today nobody knows who killed Bola Ige, who
killed Marshall Harry, who killed Dikibo,
Okadigbo and so forth. I still remember the
case of Anambra State in 2004 where a sitting
governor was abducted by touts loyal to him
allegedly with his connivance.
I don’t want the reader to be bored regarding
elections held under his watch. The fact that he
described an election as a do or die affair sums
it up. Political opponents had no space to
operate. Elections held under his supervision
could shame a banana republic.
What is the point being made? The message I
am sending across is that Nigeria has many
problems which most of them were inherited
from Obasanjo’s administration. The least he
can do is to support and send his views across
to the current President. All this ranting only
exposes his hypocrisy. He had the opportunity
to fix Nigeria for over eleven years. Did he build
roads and bridges that have been closed by
Jonathan? How can one be shamelessly
preaching a gospel that is strange to him? Can
someone tell baba Iyabo he has no moral
justification to question this administration. If
he had followed the example of Mandela
Nigeria would have been different. He
contributed greatly to the present mess. Each
time he throws a dart at the present
administration, I always expect him to make a
comparative analysis but he doesn’t. I would
love him to highlight his achievements for the
eight years he was in charge. Leaders who
accomplished while in office won’t need to be
shouting for relevance when they leave office.
Their records of achievements and
accomplishments would always speak for them.
But when there are no achievements to
celebrate, it would be better to maintain a
dignified silence.
The recent autobiography he launched even
without exercising patience to thrash out all
legal impediments, in my opinion is the final
self inflicted nail on his already battered
reputation. The claims are simply idiotic. He
sought to make a hero out of himself and tried
to discredit others. The most laughable claim is
the suggestion that the Presidency influenced
his daughter Iyabo to write the open letter
against him last December. If, indeed, the
Presidency could influence his biological
daughter, a former senator for that matter, to
write against him, then it means that he has
failed as a man. Iyabo going by her antecedents
is a fully grown lady who speaks her mind
without minding whose ox is gored. Charity
begins at home. If a man cannot practise
integrity in his own household, he has no basis
to preach same to others. He is simply a family
certified hypocrite. I do hope he doesn’t push
Iyabo to publish the second volume of the open
letter. Baba Iyabo should bury his head in
shame. He needs to practise integrity before he
can preach it. This book has finally exposed the
scale of hypocrisy in OBJ. Nigerians can read
between the lines and see the mischief that
underpins his story. The timing is also
questionable. One doesn’t have to be a genius
so see that the publication of this book is linked
to his latest role of a Navigator for the 2015
Elections.
In the Yoruba pre-colonial political system,
when a king is presented with an empty
calabash by the senior chiefs, the King would be
left with two options, either to commit suicide
or go away on exile. I have read the open letter
Iyabo wrote to her Dad Mr. Obasanjo a couple
of times. That letter amounts to an open
presentation of calabash by Iyabo to her dad.
As a Christian I won’t advise Mr. Obasanjo to
commit suicide. I would rather advise Mr.
Obasanjo to either go on a dignified ‘exile’ of
silence or assume his recent job of a navigator
officially. That way each time he speaks it would
be clear and evident to all that he is doing so as
the navigator, not as a statesman.
God bless Nigeria….

PoliticsBuhari Is Our Candidate – North by chesterlee(op): 5:32pm On Dec 12, 2014
Following the ratification of President Goodluck
Jonathan‘s candidature by the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), the North has resolved to
adopt the presidential candidate of the All
Progressive Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (rtd) as its consensus candidate for 2015.
Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and the Northern
Elders’ Forum (NEF) on Friday said the North had
resolved to support a northern candidate and
since APC has fielded a candidate from the
region, they have no alternative than to support
him.
They said, “President Jonathan shouldn’t be in the
contest in the first place if the principle of zoning
that was created by his party and the constitution
is respected. He shouldn’t be a candidate by now.”
The Chairman of ACF, Ibrahim Coomasie, a
former Inspector General of Police, said, “First of
all, the APC presidential primary and the PDP
convention have clearly shown those who are
ready to practice democracy. The APC’s primary
was held smoothly without any rancour and all of
them have come out to accept the result. That is a
good omen for our democracy. I hope INEC will
emulate that.
“So, we are congratulating Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari who has been winning primaries all
through. Only when it comes to the general
elections, he is always rigged out. We have also
seen what happened in the other party.
“I am the Chairman of the Arewa Consultative
Forum (ACF) and we have said it before and we
are reiterating it that, we are going to support a
northern candidate. And since APC has voted a
northern candidate, we are going to support him
100 per cent. So, Buhari is our candidate for the
2015 election.”
He, however, said if Imo State Governor, Rochas
Okorocha, had won the APC primary, they would
still have supported him because he was born
and brought up in the North and has shown
interest in the development of Nigeria and the
region in particular.

PoliticsKashamu Vows To Press Criminal Charges Against Obasanjo Over Book Launch by chesterlee(op): 10:52am On Dec 10, 2014
Chairman of organisation and Mobilisation
committee of the People's Democratic Party in South
West, Prince Buruji Kashamu has vowed to press
criminal charges against former President, Chief
Olusegun Obasanjo.
Kashamu in a press statement he personally signed
yesterday, said, he would drag Obasanjo and other
people who assisted him in the launch of his
autobiography; My watch, after he had been barred
by a court from launching it before the court.
A court had ruled that, Obasanjo should not launch
his autobiography titled My watch, which is believed
to have criticised the government of President
Goodluck Jonathan and other past governments.
Obasanjo was also reported to have condemned the
action of the PDP for making Kashamu a leader of the
party in South West despite his alleged involvement
in hard drugs overseas.
But, the former President was said to have gone
ahead and make the book public, the action ,
Kashanu, described as contempt of court.
According to him,Chief Olusegun Obasanjo's action
has again confirmed his knack for lawlessness and
arbitrariness. Everybody knows that good
governance is based on the Rule of Law, due process
and respect for constituted authority.
" It beats my imagination that this man can be
sermonising about the good governance when he
shamelessly advertises all the elements of bad
governance. In short, he is bad governance
personified.
" He is the worst advertisement for the product he is
trying to advertise - good governance. He has shown
that he does not have respect for the judiciary, and
that he is above the law.
"But I ask my lawyers to press criminal contempt
charges against him and all those who assisted him
in flouting the orders of the court. I will ensure that
they are all dragged before the court, and
particularly, Obasanjo, without his cap, to show why
he should not punished for criminal contempt.
"By his unruly conduct, Chief Obasanjo has shown
for the umpteenth time that he is indecent and
uncivilised. Certainly, President Goodluck Jonathan
and his predecessor, the late President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua and others he criticised in the controversial book, which I am reliably informed he did not write, are made of a sterner stuff than him. They are true democrats and gentlemen to the core.

EducationImsu Graduate Dies Celebrating On Graduation Day by chesterlee(op): 10:57pm On Dec 07, 2014
Tragedy struck yesterday as a fresh
graduate of the Imo State University
took his last breath as students
poured him water in jubilation of
final year completion.
What seem to be jubilation turned
into a gathering of sorrow when
the victim was running away from
a number of students who pursued
after him to pour dirty water on
him. In that quest to dodge the
water being poured on him, he fell
into a soak-away pit and got
drowned.
The dirty water from the pit
however is partially passing a light
current as the pit is dug beside
their transformer where earth-wire
is buried.
Pouring of water has been banned
in schools but some students would
not obey this.
Many students in this light
unaccepted celebration of final
papers have been injured, poured
acid and some other dangerous
liquids while some other persons
have gone to the great beyond via
this.
I think every final year student
should learn from this as well as
those who dedicate them to pouring
water on university finalists.

Nigeria First................Nigeria Always!
PoliticsBetween Buharists And Jonathanians: The Gathering Storm by chesterlee(op): 11:04am On Dec 02, 2014
The same signs that led to violence and deaths in
the 2011 presidential election are here with us in
an even more pronounced state. The do-or-die
attitude, the demonisation of the opponent, the
threats of violence, the accusation of plans to rig
election, the whipping up of ethnic and religious
sentiments, the blatant lies, the intolerance and
naked hatred. The clouds are indeed dark.
And this is caused by the fanatics of a former head
of state, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), of
the All Progressives Congress, who is tipped the
win the APC ticket, and the die-hards of Dr.
Goodluck Jonathan, the incumbent President, who
is seeking re-election. From both camps, there is
palpable desperation to ensure that the opposing
candidate does not win the February 2015 election.
You get a feeling that it is an abomination for the
other to win the election.
To the Buharists, the only living Nigerian who can
turn the nation’s fortunes around is Buhari. Once
he takes over, Nigeria will become an El Dorado.
Perhaps, if Buhari were to pass on, Nigeria’s
situation would be hopeless. Therefore, anybody
who does not support Buhari’s candidacy is
corrupt, unpatriotic, tribalistic, narrow-minded,
and blinded by religious myopia. It’s either Buhari
or nobody else.
Furthermore, to the Buharists, the only way Buhari
can lose the forthcoming election (just like that of
2011) will be through rigging. Therefore, they are
prepared to “defend” their votes. The meaning of
“to defend their votes” can be anything to those
the message is continually sent to. In practical
terms, there is no accurate way of determining if
an election has been rigged. Ironically, the people
who determine whether an election has been
rigged or not are the same people who claim that
the only way their candidate can lose is through
rigging. So, the stage for violence, perhaps worst
than what was witnessed in 2011, has been set.
For the Jonathanians, it is not possible for Buhari
to win an election. Whatever needs to be done to
stop him must be done. Any mention of Buhari
gets them agitated and irritated. To them,
Jonathan is not just the best president of Nigeria
since independence in 1960, but also the best
thing since sliced bread. If he is not given a fresh
four-year tenure next year, there will be trouble in
the land. And given that he is from the Niger Delta
and the first president from there, if he does not
get a second term, then, it is unjust and a clear
statement that the Niger Delta’s oil is good to be
used to develop the nation, but their son is not
good enough to rule the country. And if Boko
Haram can be used to make the nation
ungovernable because someone from the South-
South is president, then the Niger Delta militants
will be used to make the nation not just
ungovernable but also financially crippled, if a
Niger Delta son is stampeded out of the
Presidency. And this time, there won’t be any
heeding of pleas to surrender their weapons and
get an amnesty.
For these two groups, there is no single
redeeming grace in the opposing candidate. If
Jonathan likes, let him build a duplex for each
person in the nation and pay each person a
million naira every month, he is the “worst
president Nigeria has ever had”. Even if he
constructs all the roads in Nigeria, it is mere
“political gimmick and inducement”. The only good
thing he can do is to announce his withdrawal
from the election or lose the election. If any of the
two happens, he will become human again and be
praised for being exemplary. But currently, he
can’t be treated like a human being.
For the Jonathanians, if Buhari likes, let him
convert to Christianity before the election, he is an
Islamic fundamentalist and a hater of Christians.
Even if he is shown on national TV in choir garb
and singing the “Alleluia Chorus” or “Onward
Christian Soldiers” in a rich baritone, the
Jonathanians would scoff at that and call him a
wolf in sheep’s clothing, trying to win votes. Even if
he likes, let him change his name from
“Muhammadu” to “Mmaduka” and wear the isi-agu
and speak Igbo or Ijaw like a son of the soil, the
Jonathanians would only sneer at his desperation.
The only good thing that can come from Buhari is
for him to announce his withdrawal from the race,
or he loses at the APC primaries or loses at the
presidential election and immediately and
unequivocally accepts the result and calls his
supporters to accept the result too. It is only when
Buhari has lost the election that the amnesia of
the Jonathanians will suddenly be healed. Then,
they can remember that Buhari is a “nationalist, a
man of integrity, a man who has served Nigeria
meritoriously.” But as long as he is in the race and
a threat to Jonathan, he will be continually dressed
in the uniform of the devil and pummelled.
It was therefore not bad advice from Sheik Ahmad
Gumi to both Jonathan and Buhari not to contest
next year’s election. But their passionate
supporters will not hear of that, because they are
convinced that in the prevailing circumstance,
their candidate is the best candidate that can beat
every other candidate and gain political power
(and its concomitant benefits) from May 29, 2015.
This contest is, therefore, not being run on
policies and ideas but on ethnicity and religion.
The weapon of fear is employed to the fullest.
Thick mud is raked up and flung at the opponent
continuously.
It is very important that the security during the
election be high and effective to forestall mayhem
and carnage as witnessed in 2011. The insurgency
in parts of the North has put a strain on our
security capacity. It is doubtful if there will be
enough security agents to man flash spots in the
nation.
There is no doubt that the use of security forces
for the election will be called “militarisation” and
attacked by some people, but it is important to ask
them to provide a better alternative. Let them tell
us, in practical terms, what they will do if after the
election, some people start burning and killing.
Ekiti and Osun states were “militarised” during the
governorship elections in the states in June and
August respectively. There were complaints but in
the end, the elections reflected the wishes of the
voters. When those who like to snatch ballot
boxes, or those who love to scare away voters
with machetes and guns, or those who love to
protest, see the high presence of military
personnel, they usually become calm.
The Buharists and Jonathanians must stop
instilling fear into people and wetting the ground
for future violence. Having different political
inclinations or sympathies is alright, but spreading
hate through religion, ethnicity and political
parties is dangerous. At all times, the interest of
the nation must come first.

CelebritiesDavido, Nigeria Fall Short At Channel O Music Video Awards + Full Winners List by chesterlee(op): 10:00am On Nov 30, 2014
In what may be seen as a stroke as of bad luck or a
decline in the quality of Nigerian music, the 2014
Channel O Music Video Awards were completely
dominated by South African acts.
Singer Davido had been tipped before the
ceremony to be a big winner as he had 5
nominatons, but the Aye singer walked home with
none as he lost in all 5 categories, including 2 to
South African Casper Nyovest.
The only Nigerian winners on the night were Tiwa
Savage, Olamide & Kcee, with P-Square, Seyi
Shay,Flavour, 2Face, Niyola, Phyno &
Patoranking also joining Davido in coming back
home empty-handed.
The awards perhaps showed the dedication of
Nigerian fans towards their artistes, as the awards
were given out on fan votes.
