PoliticsRe: Asa-World Warns Anambra Leaders And Stakeholders by Descartes: 5:38am On Nov 07, 2014
Governor Willie Obiano and his administration
need to stay focused because we, (Ndi-Anambra) expect better days from them. We are proud to say that Governor Willie Obiano started well with his laser-beam on Food Security and with setting up committee for Agricultural Blueprint. The result of his security effort is restoration of peace and stability throughout Anambra State today in ways that has not been seen before. Today Anambra State is the safest place in Nigeria. We are looking for more progress in his other blueprints that he outlined at his inauguration.
Let’s focus on those blueprints for sustainable
development and continue on the pathway to
progress in our noble state.
That's my happiness. smiley
More is still expected from him.

ASA-World warns Anambra leaders and Stakeholders against kneejerk reactions
.
We have been reading mud-slings and innuendos from Anambra leaders and their designate on the internet that points to clear in-fighting between the various Anambra partisans and we, members of Anambra State Indigenes from the Diasporas (ASA-World) demand an immediate stop to them.
.
We all remember vividly and not so long ago
when Anambra State was the “laughing stock”
and the butt of all the jokes in Nigeria because of such in-fighting and lack of accountability to the citizenry and we all remember the consequences to Ndi-Igbo in general.
From “home for all”, to “the light of the nation”
Anambra State of Nigeria continue to send a subliminal messages that implies that if it is well
with Anambra, it shall invariably, be well with Ndi-Igbo and Nigeria as well. As the gateway to the Igbo land, Anambra leaders and stakeholders must understand the consequences of their actions and reactions to Ndi-Anambra and consequentially to Ndi-Igbo in general. In other words, Igbo leaders must be aware that instigating and or reacting to instigation or an expressed habitual attitude or prejudice without thought of consequences is detrimental to the wellbeing of Ndi-Anambra and consequentially to Ndi-Igbo in general.
We understand the need for the leaders to “feed
the beasts in them” (their egos), but we must
take a moment to think of the value added and or consequences to the people that depend on them for their daily lives
We preach to the unconverted when we “talk out of both sides of our mouths”.
.
The principle of one Governor at a time detects
that once we elect a governor, we must rally
around them to do right by the citizenry. We
must also, give due to those who have served the public with distinction. For those who have served with distinction, their records speak for itself. Any attempt to remind the people of serve(s) already on record is nothing more that preaching to the converted.
.
Governor Willie Obiano and his administration
need to stay focused because we, (Ndi-Anambra) expect better days from them. We are proud to say that Governor Willie Obiano started well with his laser-beam on Food Security and with setting up committee for Agricultural Blueprint. The result of his security effort is restoration of peace and stability throughout Anambra State today in ways that has not been seen before. Today Anambra State is the safest place in Nigeria. We are looking for more progress in his other blueprints that he outlined at his inauguration.

development and continue on the pathway to
progress in our noble state.
.
Credit must be given to Ex-Governor Obi for his
service excellence to Ndi-Anambra; specifically, in area of education, road networks, stable civil
society and good governance. We wish him well
in his future endeavours. If Ex-Governor Peter Obi wants to diversify and to improve his political fortune by joining PDP, it is okay to do so, but it should not be at the expense of the gains already made in Anambra States and certainly not to the chagrin of the current Governor, Willie Obiano and his family.
If his pathway to a different political party is
handled properly, it might result into a win-win
opportunity for Ndi Anambra and Ndiigbo.
Judgement on his transition to a different political party should be reserved. He has served Ndi-Anambra well. History will either vindicate or
condemn him for his transition. It is not customary for Ndi-Anambra and or Ndi-Igbo to
stunt its people growth. Common sense dictates
that we should stay back and allow history to play out


All members of ASA-World having been reading
the mudsling in circulation on the internet from
various leaders against each other, unanimously
voted to sound this note of warning to the leaders from the respective isles and their handlers;
.
1. To “cease fire” between both camps for the
sake of Ndi-Anambra and Ndiigbo
2. We demand a complete halt on media and
internet attacks from the respective isles
3. A reminder to all that no one person is bigger
than the people of Anambra; Governors come,
and Governors go but Anambra remains for us all
4. Therefore, ASA-World recommends an
immediate reconciliation, preferably, behind
closed doors. Loose lips it is said sinks ship.
ASA-World is the umbrella organization of all the
Anambra people in diaspora. We are a neutral,
non-partisan and non-political organization. We do not support any candidate or political party. We work in concert with a legitimately elected
government of the day, credible NGOs and
stakeholders to “do right” by our brethren in our
home state. We fashion ourselves to the roles of
an “ombudsman” and or an intermediaries for the good of the poor and the marginalized. We are not formed by any government and therefore, do not answer to any government and or interest group. We are constituted by over 30 Diaspora Anambra legitimately registered Association globally; from Canada, United Kingdom ,United States, Spain, South Africa, Russia, China, Japan, Ireland, Iceland, Holland, Pakistan, India, Dubai, Greenland and more. Our information on the goings in our homeland come from our family members who are impacted by the actions and the actions of the stakeholders, our direct involvements, and published and respectfully vetted information print media.
.
Because we are non-political, we embrace all
stakeholders from varying political stripes and
interest groups, irrespective of their political
persuasions. We do not “pander to and or divide” for political gains. Our pursuit of Sustainable Development is the single motivator for rallying over 30 Diaspora Anambra legitimately registered Association globally; from Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Spain, South Africa, Russia, China, Japan, Ireland, Iceland, Holland, Pakistan, India, Dubai, Greenland and more to work with all Stakeholders in through projects and programs in making a difference in the lives of our people.
Rank after all, should not confer rights and or
privilege, it rather should impose responsibility.
.
Those leaders entrusted with public trust must
conduct themselves with humility and fairness.
Those people that are privileged with the public
trust must have acute sense of their places in
history, as such, must be guided by clarity of
purpose. They must not be distracted by the actions of sycophants that surround them. They must be the “profile in courage” and the audacity to “do right” by those who entrusted them with their most cherished gift( their trust).

PoliticsRe: The Many Lies Of Buhari And APC Supporters by Descartes: 5:13am On Nov 07, 2014
atlwireles:
Ultimately, when the Buhari government could not come up with any viable economic programme, it resorted to the politicization of its economic ignorance by selling the notion that the government was a bulwark against the imperialist Bretton Woods institutions. But that can only take you so far, because while fighting the international community and international financial institutions over differences in policies that could have been resolved with a better and more intelligent engagement with all national and international stakeholders, the austerity measures the regime introduced made it quite impossible for the manufacturing sector to procure raw materials in the face of the international capital market being closed against Nigeria. Industries were closing, left, right and centre and capacity utilization was below 18 percent and at every point, the government was seeking scapegoats for its woes in the form of politicians, illegal aliens, smugglers and currency traffickers, etc. But the reality was there for all to see in workers being retrenched in every sector and even in the public sector. I remember at the time how drastically our lives changed as university students as we dramatically witnessed the rise in the prices of fees, feeding, accommodation and procurement of books, even as the lack of these books became the norm. Inflation hit the roof and essential commodities became scarce. The regime’s key economic policy in response to all this was to resort to the medieval counter-trade economic policy. But this became the new corruption point for the regime presided over by the new import licence czar, Mahmud Tukur. Attempts by some bold journalists to report on the corruption in the counter-trade deals were met with unprecedented brutality. They were picked up and threatened with charges of economic sabotage as a warning to their other colleagues.

The Shehu Shagari and Alex Ekwueme regime introduced austerity measures in 1983, this was a result of a short fall in oil revenue. Nigerians were feeling the heat.
When Buhari took over, he announced that the austerity measure was cancelled. People jubilated in the streets. He promulgated a policy of price fixing. Soldiers broke into people's shops and forced them to sell their goods at government controlled prices. The economic laws of demand and supply in a free market enterprise were suspended.
Then the goods in the shops became exhausted. Scarcity of food set in. Nigerians began to queue up for essential commodities as each product was now rationed. The hard time became ten times worse off than it was during the Shagari period. People had money but can't find food to buy. Poverty level tripled. Massive hunger swept through the land as he lived in luxury at Dordan Barracks until his colleagues decided that this was the wrongest man to rule a country. He was the first Nigerian leader whose closest associates removed from office due to high handedness and gross incompetence.
What kind of economic policy will this man promulgate?

General Buhari forced his military tribunal to jail Ambrose Ali, the then governor of old Bendel State. Ambrose Ali was tutored to blindness inside kirikiri just to make him confess that he was a thief.
Ambrose Ali died due to massive torture and blindness.
Upon his death it was discovered that he had just one piece of undeveloped land in Benin....
What kind leader is this?
In trying to immediately garner a Marxist posture like most African coupists, General Buhari banned importation of major essential commodities. He never took his time to plan for alternatives to these items. As a result, it was catastrophic. According to the BBC ", "Buhari's attempt to re-balance public finances by curbing imports led to many job losses and the closure of businesses.These losses were accompanied by a rise in prices and a decline in living standards".
What economic policy will this man pursue. ?
He back dated the crime of three young men so that they can be killed by his famous decree 20. The whole word begged, civil society, religious leaders , traditional rulers, everyone begged. He refused and the kids were executed. The names of these young Nigerians are :
Lawal Ojuolape 30 years
Bernard Ogedengbe 29 years...
Bartholomew Owoh (26) .
Hmmm...the atrocities of Buhari are infinite embarassed embarassed

..Am disappointed in you; to think you can hide your grave foolishness under the Moniker of a great Swedish Philosopher DESCARTES, is tantamount to Character assassination! Sincerely, am no guru in Micro-economics, and I believe you also incapacitated in that regard. The OP and Barcanista countered facts with facts, and it went round in cycles. It would be a fallacy of Irrelevant conclusion for you to think because More PDP apologists commented or aired their pre-matured opinion as against Progressives, then it is now a 'Rebuttal'huh. In the same vein, MOGIDI, the difference in the number of viewers and posters btw Barcanista's thread Vs Datolee's is that THE LATER MADE FP as against the former as of time/date of postage! This is Nigeria for God's sake, Majority carries the day! And if the majority were wrong in concept, what can the minority do?? That's exactly the scenario that played out today!
