by Arinze Esomnofu 08031391676 arinzeesomnofu@gmail.com Slave trade once upon a time in the world was regarded as a norm, you dare not speak evil against it. Great Nations were once perpetrators of the slave trade business, men were called successful trade merchants, based on the amount of slaves they have and there was no guilty feeling about this then, because to everyone it was viewed as a norm. Then 'Change' came knocking, and despite how hard it was for these Nations that had thrived on the slave business to accept it, they had to accept it and popularly tag it 'The price for change'. Many switched trade, and before you could say 'Jack Robinson' their various trade were thriving without the slave business, which they initially thought was impossible. But the Americans' were too attached to the trade business that they refused to let go, and that was the remote cause of the American Civil War between 1861-1865 a war that literally lasted for (4 years, 3 weeks and 6 days) and an estimated 625,000–850,000 people died in the war. In the end, good triumphed over evil and that led to the abolishment of slave trade in America. That was the price of 'Change'. It was a tough decision to make, it was a tough call, but the American after the War accepted 'Change' and it was 'Change' that Changed their fortunes for the good. Nelson Mandela after spending 27 years in prison became the first black President of South Africa, many expected him to go after his jailers (the whites) in South Africa, because to them it was the right thing to do. But the Great Man, the Legend Mr Mandela took the tough option of forgiveness and integration, he took the path of Change, and till date South Africa benefits from that decision. Mandela's decision was seen as tough and unreasonable but he made it anyway, because it was the right thing to do. Nigerians on 28th of March 2015 voted 'en masse' for 'Change', we broke the jinx of "incumbent factor" in a Presidential election, we voted and protected our votes making sure it counts. We went through all these because we trust the incorruptible personality of President Buhari and what he is bringing to the table. Right now, I might not be Femi Adesina but am sure the President is asking us to sit tight and watch him unveil his plans for us rather than question the region his appointees are from. We voted Buhari to perform now he is asking us to trust him, "is he asking for too much" I strongly doubt that. Based on President Buhari recent appointments, I can't help but ask this question, for I know it will be on the mind of most Nigerians at this time "Does it mean that, the South East, South South nor South West can not provide a candidate that will deliver ?" Sure they do, we have many technocrats that can deliver from every region of this great Country, but what the President is looking at right now is not just who can perform alone, but who can perform and also someone that the President can trust with his eyes even closed, so on that ground I say let's cut the President some slacks, for none of his actions can be tag unconstitutional. One factor that have always worked ahead of President Buhari, is the 'fear of Buhari' and it that fear that have propelled many ministries into doing the right thing, now it's not business as usual, for many now knows that once there is wrong in your agency, you are sure to see the President with his 'Big Hammer' knocking on your door, and that is the exact kind of reputation a working President should have. Soon the Nigerian Police Force will commence recruitment, most federal ministries will also commence recruitment and am sure many unemployed youths will fill in these positions and it won't be business as usual, for I know the recruitment will be fair and only the best hands that will get the job. Change in any Nation have never come easy, it comes with a price, so fellow countrymen and women reading this piece, if your region have not benefitted so far from our President's appointment, I urge us not to be so quick in crying foul but rather see it as the price that must be paid to restore our Nation to where if ought to be. For what it's worth, my region have not benefited from a single appointments and its not given me sleepless nights for I know its the price associated with Change. Nigeria will be great once again. Sai Baba, ride on we are with you. |
we gave the President our Mandate. now all is asking is for us to trust him. "is he asking for too much" I certainly don't think so. |
Buhari own don day tire me |
found this topic on Naij and decides to share here. - I am no longer going to stay in the dark, like most of my countrymen and women do; rather, I am going to share with you, faithful readers of my column, the exact and unbiased opinion on gay rights in Nigeria. For the sake of not being called gay, or a gay rights activists, we tend to go into a psychological discomfort known as cognitive dissonance. If you are quick to judge, one of those who condemn gay rights movements just at the mention of it, then I urge you not to be disappointed in me. For once, I am going to stand a bit outside of the norms that are “acceptable” to Nigerians. Most African countries have placed stiff penalties on those who are prone to such practices. But I want us to answer this question with a strong level of honesty: “Does it mean that there are no gays in Africa?” Yes, there are. They obviously fall in the minority, but yes, there are gays in Zimbabwe whose President, or should I say, “President For Life,” Robert Mugabe strongly critiques the Western world and their “gay agenda”. Now another question: what is the fate of these people, where should they find their solace, who will listen to their pleas for equal rights on a continent where they are seen as plague, and their only crime is who they chooses to love? “I get you, but I am not like you” We Nigerians are very quick to judge a book by its cover. We tend to condemn any act or topic relating to same-sex lifestyle without considering logical reasons. I know that a great number of people reading this article have had, willingly or unwillingly, encountered a homosexual individual, a man or a woman. I myself have once been subjected to a sexual assault by a neighbour, back when I was still in school. I slept off in his room while watching a movie. Instead of him waking me up, he left me right there in his bed, and, in ungodly hours, he started making sex moves on me. When I woke, I nearly had my pants down. With the little strength left in me, I ran to my room. Early the next morning, my assaulter called and apologized for his actions which I did not reciprocate. He thought I was going to expose him to the lodge. Shortly after that, he had to travel, and when he returned two weeks after the incident, he discovered that I have not exposed him. He came to my room and said: “Thank you, Arinze, God bless you for keeping my reputation in this lodge intact.” I talked to him and explained I understood how he felt, but I told him I am not like him. I told him I do not condemn him for his sexual orientation, nor do I condemn anyone who is gay. My reason is quite simple: the Earth is indeed a terrible place to be gay. Even in developed countries, with gay rights movements, such persons are still subjected to inhumane treatment. That is why I don’t see America having a homosexual president even in 30 years from now. Food for thought We Africans hate to hear about individuals engaging in same-sex activities. But how would you feel if you discovered your best friend, who has weathered every stormy weather with you, who has always been there for you, who supported you with cash when you thought you would miss out of a ground breaking project because of lack of funds — “oh such a friend” — and you just discovered he or she is a homosexual? What would your immediate response be? Would you dial the police, for your friend to be locked up for 14 years because of who he chooses to love? Would you immediately cut off all ties with your friend? Or would you neglect your friend’s sexual orientation and move on, since it has not affected your friendship? Or maybe you would seek for someone who could help for your friend through personal advice or professional counsel? Now, if your response falls into the first two scenarios, then I have strong pity for you, for you are not fit to be called a friend. On the governmental level We all know that President Buhari frowns greatly on the issue of homosexuality in Nigeria, and his refusal to participate in the discussion about same-sex marriage even with the American Senate shows his stand on the topic. In Nigeria, all the citizens are equal, thanks to the amended 1999 constitution that is still very much in use. But there are the first-class citizens, those that have distinguished themselves in service to their fatherland, use their personal money to tar roads, build schools for free, contest with the government on granting scholarships to citizens, employ thousands. Definitely, we have loads of them in Nigeria, noble citizens like Dangote, Mike Adenuga, Ifeanyi Ubah, Arthur Eze, Orji Uzor Kalu, and loads of them. Now let’s assume that one of theses individuals decided to break the norm and do the “unthinkable,” by saying: “I can’t take it anymore, I have to give in to my true self, I am gay, can’t run from it anymore. I am sorry for whoever loses faith in me based on my sexuality.” How would the current administration handle such a situation? I fault the present government’s approach to gay rights. There are gays in Nigeria, and these people are noble citizens that pay taxes, adhere to traffic laws, help the needy and carry out their duties as prescribed by the constitution. Yet, the government has turned its back towards them and places a 14-year jail sanction on them. This, to me, is wrong. There are two ways. First, the government recognizes that there are homosexual individuals among Nigerians and accepts them instead of imposing the 14-year-long prison sentence, so at least these people have a level playing field with their “straight” counterparts, and the issue of gay rape is brought down to the minimum. Or the current administration, while maintaining its strong stance on gay practices, finds a way of reaching out to the gay community and tell them of the needs to have a change in heart, and probably set up rehabilitation centers nationwide tasked with rehabilitation and reintegration of our friends, brothers and sisters. You can’t just turn your back to an existing issue and think it would disappear, and that’s exactly what Nigeria and most African nations are doing regarding gay rights, and it is indeed a wrong approach. My last shout out to the African leaders: rehabilitate and reintegrate them into the society. For in as much as you hate to acknowledge it, they are present in our countries, and you can’t keep turning your back on them (for goodness’ sake, they are your citizens!) contact Author on : arinzeesomnofu@gmail.com source: https://www.naij.com/524672-nigerian-dont-approve-governments-approach-gay-rights.html |
