“The only vice that cannot be forgiven is hypocrisy. The repentance of a hypocrite is itself hypocrisy.” ~ William Hazlitt It arrived like a bolt out of the blue. When a former president writes an eighteen page letter to a sitting president, the world must sit up and take note. After reading the letter written by the former president of Nigeria, General Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo to the incumbent president, Mr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, only an unpatriotic and a self serving Nigerian would deny that most of what was contained therein is the truth. I have personally read that letter five times and my conclusion is, what is new? There was nothing that General Obasanjo wrote that is new, unheard of or that has not been said by many other patriotic Nigerians. The only difference this time is that those same truths have now been openly said by the man who foisted an incompetent Jonathan on Nigerians. I will not dwell on the contents of the letter as many other writers have done justice to it. I would rather take our letter writing former president down memory lane. Don’t get it twisted, we are not going down an old memory lane, rather we will look at the recent 8 year tenure of our former president turned scribe. Now, Dear General–Your letter started with your party and how the current president’s action is destabilizing your rag tag but organized agglomeration of rent seeking leeches called the PDP. Recall sir, how you dealt with dissents and those whose faces you no longer wanted in the PDP? Remember Audu Ogbeh? Remember Barnabas Gemade? Do not forget how you foisted your garrison politics on Oyo state using an illiterate and uneducated thug, the late Lamidi Adedibu. You must have forgotten how 8 out of twenty five members of the Plateau State house of Assembly tried to Impeach Governor Joshua Dariye in October 2006. Let me jog your fading memory, sir. I understand that with age, people tend towards senility and forgetfulness. On the 10th July, 2003, a sitting governor was kidnapped, after you tacitly gave your blessings for his police orderly to be withdrawn. Oh yes! Dr. Chris Ngige was the governor of Anambra state who was kidnapped by thugs under the watchful eyes of the younger brother of Chris Ubah, the uneducated, unschooled and brash younger brother of your Man Friday, Andy Ubah. The state house was torched and razed down and violence was unleashed on that State. You chose to look the other way, didn’t you? Meanwhile the governor was a member of your party, wasn’t he? Isn’t it obvious that you truly love your party, dear General Olusegun Obasanjo?! You eventually made Anambra State ungovernable and you were only too happy to cede the state to the opposition APGA. In your “private” letter to your now recalcitrant successor, you were unequivocally against his contesting for a second term because “he made a promise”. Well, generality of Nigerians aren’t privy to secrets within your cult-like band of national plunderers, the PDP. But may I remind you sir, that you actively pursued a third term option, using a kangaroo constitutional amendment? You were only displaced by the courageous act of some prominent people within and outside your government. You want to speak about ‘honour’? How ‘honourable’ were you when you planned to remain in office beyond your tenure, spending billions in bribing senators to amend the constitution, just so that your selfish interests be served? You also berated the fedora hatted nitwit you helped foist on Nigerians for working with opposition political parties against the good of his party. Like I said, few people tend to get senile and forgetful as they grow older, especially if they don’t know their true biological age. But may I remind you of your pact with the southwest governors of the now defunct AD? Haha! Now you remember… You were intent on gaining political relevance which you never had and you never will have in your geopolitical region. Well the rest as they say is history. You outfoxed most of those governors because of their political naivety except the indefatigable Bola Tinubu who saw through your cunning and deceit. Let me remind you sir, that the ‘Jagaban’ of a man beat you at your own game because he had a tango with another of your ilk and he saw through your plans. Tinubu was the arrowhead of NADECO, a coalition of democrats who stood against the most tyrannical despot that ever lived in the history of Nigeria, General Sani Abacha, to the detriment of their lives, businesses, families and other interests. I am sure you underrated the man because you were mostly incarcerated, while at the risk of his life, he was crossing swords with your conqueror. I am therefore at a loss as to why you are angry at your anointed for cavorting with opposition political parties. Jonathan is merely taking a cue from your political playbook of garrison and jungle politics, where nothing is sacred as long as you are able to get what you want, at whatever cost. In your highly “secret” letter, you were also cross with your protégé for denying the people of Port Harcourt (Rivers State) a massive water project due to them. That is very patriotic coming from you, sir. But let me quickly remind you how you denied the same people of Rivers State their authentic Governor. Have you forgotten your famous ‘K-leg’ speech? It was until the Supreme Court overruled your despotic action, that the same Amaechi got what rightly belongs to him. Also talking about using presidential fiat to deny federating states their due, have you forgotten how you illegally denied Lagos State the funds due to the State? Not even the Supreme Court judgment that deemed your action illegal could change your waspish mindset. Those allocations were held until your successor released them, several years after. General sir, you also advised your protégé against seeing critics as enemies! I know you have always fancied yourself a (failed) comedian, but I didn’t know you could also double as a clownish jester whenever you wished. Such advise coming from you is not only bizarre, but I consider it a very silly thing to do. At the Ikeja cantonment, after several Lagosians had lost their lives due to a chain of bomb blasts, you must have forgotten your retort. Let me remind you once more. When a few of the mourners wailed beside you, your riposte was: “shut up…..I didn’t even need to be here”. Those were Nigerians, real human beings. Some of them actually voted for you. Indeed you loved and accepted criticisms during your tenure! If I hear!!! I could go on and on, but unlike you, I am not an old retired general with billions siphoned away, having all the time to write an eighteen page epistle. I must move on now to earn my daily bread under such unbearable circumstances as created by you and your bunch of incompetent successors. But let me close by saying, when you create a monster, there is a likelihood of such a monster outgrowing you and possibly annihilating you. You were so angry that you couldn’t get a third presidential term in office, you decided to force an infirm and a nincompoop on Nigerians. Your plan was to exploit their weaknesses so as to enable you continue to wield power, albeit behind the scenes. What you failed to realise is that history is replete with such actions and that it ALWAYS backfires on whoever set it in motion. Maybe you never thought the infirm will eventually die, because it is glaring that the nincompoop you handpicked to become his deputy is not only inept and incompetent, he is also very corrupt. He had been indicted in 2006 by a panel you set up and which was headed by the then head of EFCC, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu. But in your usually vengeful and dubious manner, you made him the Vice President against all known wisdom and judgment. Like William Hazlitt quoted at the beginning of this thesis, ”The only vice that cannot be forgiven is hypocrisy. The repentance of a hypocrite is itself hypocrisy.” What you failed to realise sir, is that when a man is promoted beyond his level of competence, not even God can help him. Isn’t that why Jonathan is so clannish and defensive? Accuse Jonathan with facts and figures and the next thing you hear is, “oh! they are persecuting me because I am an Ijaw man from a minority tribe”. How does being a minority excuse incompetence and blatant pillaging of the national treasury? Like I earlier averred, Jonathan your protégé is taking his cue from your copybook and having surrounded himself with other men of despicable character and shady intentions, he has not only out-performed you in ignominy, he has obliterated every record know to man in thievery, stealing and official scam. There is a yourba saying that goes: “Eni a la jo, la ju” (when we take after a man, the tendency is to outperform him in all ramifications) But president Jonathan should remember that history also teaches us that men like him not only end up badly, they are forever a byword in the footnote of obnoxious and unwanted history. A word is enough for the wise. I am Ayo Oyalowo. |

In the buck passing in regard to the public concern about the growing spate of corruption in the country and failure of the dispensation to battle the scourge, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Aminu Tambuwal, blame the Jonathan administration for the irredeemable turn corruption has taken. He thinks that the fight against official graft has lost momentum due largely to the fact that President Goodluck Jonathan would rather set up committees to investigate corruption cases than refer them to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission—EFCC— for prompt action.He forgets to mention that there are several cases of corruption allegations referred to the Lamorde-led EFCC that have not seen the light of day. He forgets also to mention that the EFCC lawyers were whacking up cases referred to the commission, until some of them were found out and sacked. All the corruption cases investigated by the House Committees including those involving Hon. Farouk Lawan and Herman Hembe, to mention a few, that are yet to be satisfactorily and effectively disposed off are presumed to be Jonathan’s fault. Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Dimeji Bankole, was chased about like a common criminal right from the day he left office by the EFCC. What has become of the corruption case involving him? Perhaps, President Jonathan prevailed on the EFCC and the courts to drop all charges against Mr. Bankole. What about the rot in the judiciary—about allegations that some multi-million naira assets and fat bank accounts have been traced to some judges of the courts? What about allegations that members of the House do collect bribes from agencies of state to pass legislations, such as police budget and the Securities Exchange Commission’s Act, for instance? Are all these episodes of unresolved corruption issues to be blamed on the Executive arm of government headed by the Presidency?What about issues of criminal legislations initiated by the House of Reps under the leadership of Hon. Tambuwal, such as the ongoing attempt by the House to pass a bill authorizing members to operate foreign bank accounts; a move that has been described as a legislative strategy to legitimize money laundering? Is this also the fault of President Jonathan? Where and to whom will Aminu Tambuwal pass the buck of the corruption episodes in the legislature?What discerning minds have come to appreciate is not that Jonathan as President should usurp the powers and functions of agencies and organs of government in the bid to stamp out corruption from the body politic, but that incremental wrong doings overtime with an entrenched culture of impunity nurtured and nourished by the military has made corruption, in our time, to spiral out of control. The Jonathan dispensation, it has been contended, merely created the libertine ambience for corrupt practices to be fully exposed, as never before when Heads of State used to cover up for their cronies and protégés and allow only enemies who fall foul of the law to face the full wrath of the anti-graft agencies. What can be stated unambiguously is that the Jonathan government allowed corrupt practices to be fully exposed.Nigerians, today, have a long list of corrupt people in the corridor of power including the legislature and the judiciary as well as the financial services sector. Let Tambuwal and the defecting governors not be deceived that they can escape the wrath of the people when the bubble burst on the strength of their capacity to pass the buck to Goodluck Jonathan. Everybody, including past heads of state, is blaming the President for all the woes and corruption problems inundating the country. People who should know better, who are themselves part of the network of corruption, are creating the wrong impression that if all the blames for failure of the anti-graft war were heaped upon the President, they would be spared the anger of the people in the likely event of civil rebellion.Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State once warned that the way the political class is running the affairs of the country, they may not receive the support of the people if democracy in the country comes under threat. When Oshiomhole spoke, he never made excuses for himself. He was lamenting the deficit of credible political practice by the state actors—their lack of integrity, their corruption and profligacy, and their general inability to deliver service to the people.My point is not that the President should be spared where and when he errs. My point is that the buck passing going on now, as if the affairs of state are the sole responsibility of Goodluck Jonathan, is in bad faith. Aminu Tambuwal should not delude himself that Nigerians have a high opinion of the House of Reps which he superintends. Corruption issues are glossed over in the legislature as it is treated with a dignified nonchalance by the other arms of government.Tambuwal should be honest and tell the world the truth about corruption episodes in the country—that corruption is defended and protected on the platform of ethnicity. That is why no head of state has been able to deal with it frontally. General Murtala Mohammed who tried to deal with corruption issues in the military and the civil service constructively, did not quite understand the trajectory and networking of corruption, and did not know what hit him in the process.Corruption issues can be uprooted in the country mainly by taking the battle away from the centre to the federating units through devolution of power and fiscal federalism, the way it was at the birth and early days of nationhood. Smash the centre and give economic power to the zonal or regional power blocks and corruption battle will shift from the centre to the component units, where the dead would have to bury the dead until kinsmen can shout “enough is enough” and tell themselves to stop killing one another and use the commonwealth for the development of the fatherland for the benefit and happiness of all.Tambuwal should work for a decentralized Nigeria, a fiscal federal structure, a country where the people and their sensibilities, rather than the whims and narrow self-interest of the few who happen to be in control, dictate and drive state affairs. That is the time any head of state can launch a serious offensive against corruption. 2 Likes |

The photo above has since generated a buzz since it found its’ way to the blogosphere yesterday. According to reports, the Perfected Praise Singers, a popular gospel band in Lagos, were leading a worship session at R.C.C.G Ebute Metta in Lagos when the ‘angel’ was spotted. Some kids were snapping pictures of them with their Ipad (4 – 10years Old Children) only for one of them to get home and discover an ‘Angel’ was there with them at the church.Many claim that the photo was probably photo- shopped but many more others insist the photo wasn’t photo shopped and that the story can be verified from the church.

Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, on Wednesday lambasted the protest organised by the All Progressives Congress (APC) over the outcome of Anambra governorship election, describing the action as not only “unwise but foolish”. Obi who spoke at Alex Ekwueme’s Square where he distributed 280 brand new vehicles to Directors of the local government system and 80 buses to local councils, said as far as he is concerned, the governorship election is over. He wondered why people without origin in Anambra, would believe that their own party deserved to win the election. According to him, those who went to protest in Abuja did so because of selfish reasons, not because they love Anambra people. “How many Anambra people participated in the Abuja protest over the election,” Obi quipped. “To make the matter worse, some of the home states of those who filed out in protest against Anambra election, are burning and they could not proffer solution to the problem.” “How, as outsiders, would you weep more than the bereaved,” he asked rhetorically. On the governor- elect, Willie Obiano, Obi said he has no agreement with him and does not require anything from him. “Fortunately, he has more enough personal wealth before coming to contest the governorship election; and so, my advice to him is: serve the people. I have no agreement with him. I don’t need anything from him”. Obi praised Anambra people for voting for continuous progress of the state and for its future. 2 Likes |

Few weeks after Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State presented official cars to judges, magistrates, permanent secretaries, directors in the state civil service, traditional rulers, among others, he has presented 110 vehicles to the local governments in the state. Eighty vehicles were for heads of service and directors in the local government service, while 30 were poll vehicles for the 21 local governments and vehicles for Traditional Rulers Council, market leaders, youth councils, Asatu men and women leaders. Speaking at the official handover of the vehicles to the beneficiaries at Ekwueme Square, Governor Obi said it was part of measures put in place to re-build human infrastructure in the state. He advised the recipients to reciprocate the gesture by increasing their productivity and output for the overall good of the state. Governor Obi, who vowed to continue working till his handover date on March 17, 2014 said that what his government lined up for the state would continue to inspire the people of the state to love the state and have faith and trust in government. “As I speak, we are taking delivery of over 25,000 computers for schools in Anambra State, which we have fully paid for. We have also concluded plans to start the Three Arms Zone, Nnewi Shopping Mall and more roads. “Though these projects will cost billions of naira, we already have the money set aside. The N100 million cash given to Paul University and Madonna University would be extended to other private or church-owned universities in Anambra State. “This is besides the N5 billion we recently made available to our state university, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu University recently,” Governor Obi stated. On the ongoing recruitment of 7,000 civil servants in the state, Governor Obi said his government had the money to pay them for two years, which is about N5 billion secured in the bank in order not to encumber the incoming governo |
