Politics / Re: Buhar's Government Has Failed Nigerians - Northern Elders by Emmytrill(m): 6:39pm On Apr 15, 2019
ExAngel007:
President Muhammadu Buhari has been blasted by
the The Northern Elders Forum, NEF, stressing that
the current insecurity in the North showcases
leadership failure and irresponsibility of governance.
Speaking to newsmen after the forum’s meeting in
Zaria, the NEF Chairman, Prof. Ango Abdullahi called
on President Muhammadu Buhari to demonstrate
higher level of concern and sensitivity to the plight
of traumatised citizens, especially in Zamfara,
Katsina, Kaduna, Benue, Niger, Plateau and Taraba
States.


Apart from the Presidency, the NEF also slammed
other tiers of government for failing to address and
arrest the abject poverty and under-development in
the country.

It said Nigeria has the resources and ideas but lacks
the political will to tackle the problems.

According to Abdullahi, “There is serious
irresponsibility of governance in the country,
especially in the North; the leadership is not doing
enough to meet up the challenges of poverty and
under-development.

“We also demand a decisive, comprehensive and
fundamental government actions against poverty,
underdevelopment and insecurity affecting North as
well as show leadership and compassion which are
reciprocal expectation of the Nigerian people.”

NEF said recent report of an international
organisation revealed that 90 per cent of the over
13.5 million children out-of-school in the country
were from the North.

It added, “The children will be adult in the next 10
years; no education, no vocational training, what do
you expect then? Insecurity situation.”



Abdullahi expressed sadness that instead of
development, northern states were living under
horrendous Boko Haram threats, banditry,

kidnapping, armed robbery, marauding youth gangs,
herders and farmers clashes.


“It has become imperative for the forum to call
President Muhammadu Buhari to respond to threats
faced by northern Nigerians following incessant
killings in some states,” he observed.

Career / Coping With A Repressive Boss by Emmytrill(m): 11:56am On Mar 11, 2019
Although i have been facing repressive tendencies from my boss for some time now, His actions these past few days have really left me sad, undervalued and unappreciated.

I work in a department that demands you think strategically and be creative. But it is just as if i am doing nothing because all my ideas and creativity are usurped by my boss who then takes all the glory, promotion and commendation.

The last action that really tore me apart was an idea i came up with, which he termed unnecessary. Nonetheless, i still packaged the idea and sent it to him to still fully prove my point. To my greatest surprise, he expunged my name from the document, affixed his own name and sent to management without me even in copy. I only got to know when he forwarded the mail to me, telling me he inadvertently excluded me from the mail. I was also told by a senior colleague he has been getting lots of accolade for the mail. One even told me innocently he was very impressed with what my boss came up with, not knowing it was my sweat. I cried inside.

I had to take control of my emotions in order not to confront him and utter hurtful words. i Don't know if anyone is currently going through such. I want to know how you were able to cope in such situations. People with similar experiences can also share.

I feel so pained.

Politics / Appeal Court Affirms Disqualification Of APC Rivers Governorship Candidate. by Emmytrill(m): 8:27pm On Dec 12, 2018
The Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt Division on Wednesday confirmed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State will not field any candidates during the 2019 General elections when it dismissed the appeal filed by the factional Rivers State APC Governorship Candidate, Mr Tonye Cole.

The Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt Division also confirmed the judgment of Justice Chinwendu Nwogu that Rivers State has no ward executives, local government executives and State Executives as it dismissed the appeal filed by Sacked Rivers State APC State Chairman, Mr Ojukaye Flag Amachree. The Court of Appeal Port Harcourt Division Special Panel Chaired by Justice Abubakar Yahaya dismissed the two appeals for lack of merit.

The third appeal which centred on the judgement by Justice Chinwendu Nwogu was dismissed because it was filed out of time and therefore statute barred. Delivering his judgement Justice Yahaya,said the appeal against the Justice Chinwendu Nwogu High Court judgement on the party Congress crisis lacks merit, adding that the application for joinder failed to observed the 14 days rules of Appeal. While delivering judgement on the substantive appeal number CA/PH/198 that bothered on Justice Nwogu’s judgement, the panel ruled that the Ojukaye faction failed to seek leave of court before appealing against the judgement. Justice Yahaya ruled that the judgement delivered at the lower court was a consent judgement, adding that Ojukaye faction should have done the needful legally before approaching the court. Counsel to Ibrahim Umar and 22 others, Mr Patrick Luke said that the rulings of the Court of Appeal confirm that the judgement by Justice Chinwendu Nwogu remains valid and is still subsisting. Counsel to Ojukaye Flag Amachree, Emenike Ebete noted that the court heard the three matters and in her wisdom arrived at the rulings confirming the judgment of Justice Chinwendu Nwogu. He said: “Arguments were taken but the Court in its infinite wisdom held that in appeal 461, that is the substantive appeal, that the consent judgement of the High Court of Rivers state and by provision of the constitution, we ought to have sought leave of court to appeal against that consent judgement. That is their own decision and they struck it out. “The one for the candidates and the party state excos, we were dismissed on the ground that it was a pre-election matter, that we did not bring the application within 14 days after decision was delivered on October 10. What that means is that, we will approach the Supreme court to contest the judgment “.

It will be recalled that on October 10, 2018, a High Court in Port Harcourt nullified the nomination of Mr Tonye Cole as the Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State on the ground that his nomination is a function of illegality and unconstitutional acts. The Court also nullified the the Rivers State APC Senatorial, House of Representatives and House of Assembly Primaries conducted on the premise of the illegal ward congresses. The High Court further nullified all the elections of Rivers APC Ward Executives, Local Government Executives and State Executive Committee that arose from the illegal ward congresses. In a judgment delivered by Justice Chiwendu Nwogu in a suit filed by Ibrahim Imah and twenty-two others against the APC, the Court declared that the ward congresses of Rivers APC were illegal because they were not conducted in line with the APC Guidelines and Constitution.

Politics / Buhari Vs Atiku: My Dilemma. by Emmytrill(m): 12:52am On Oct 11, 2018
Buhari Vs Atiku: My Dilemma.

A senior colleague of mine asked me a question that interestingly threw me off balance. He said " Emeka, Between Buhari and Atiku, who would you support in 2019" the question seemed easy and simple, but i refused to give him a straight forward answer. Honestly, i was a bit confused for the very first time in respect of my political standing. He further opined that if the South-East supports Buhari, perharps in 2023, we would stake a claim for the presidency or a support for Atiku that will see us wait for another 8 years.
Hey! The staunch anti-buharist should hold the salvo. Let me atleast use this opportunity to 'ATIKULATE' my dilemma. Dilemma here simply means "A circumstance in which a choice must be made between two or more alternatives that seem equally undesirable". With all due respect to other contenders, only APC and PDP have the same national spread for now to win a presidential election.

I am a strong believer in the fact that the South-East have been marginalized in the scheme of things right from the end of the civil war, starting with having the geo-political zone with the least number of States to being treated like a conquered people by our Northern 'brothers', which is a story for another day. Take it or leave it, there is this silently loud distrust between the South and the North. It is real!
In my opinion, the remedy to this anomaly is to practice true federalism, some call it restructuring, where states are allowed to control their resources and pay royalty to the centre thereby doing away with our present feudal system of government, where the Federal Government lord it over the federating units who go to Abuja monthly like beggars to collect handouts in the name of allocations and then also, an Igbo man becoming the President of this country. We are not second class citizens. Equity, fairness and justice demands this.

There is no doubting the fact Buhari's administration which we helped enthrone in 2015 has derailed. Yea, it was then anything but Jonathan. The country was bleeding profusely as a result of his actions and inactions. Alas, Buhari who should have used that momentum to set things aright, divided the country first by sharing it into the infamous 95 'percenters' and 5 'percenters', thereby contributing to making the country more divided than ever before since the civil war. The Fulani herdsmen unleashed mayhem like never before witnessed in the history of this country with tremendous guts and braggadocio, emboldened by the fact that 98% of the security architecture of the country was manned by their kinsmen. They were even bold enough to appear on televsion to say they were avenging the killing of their cows! Yet, nobody has been prosecuted and convicted for the carnage and senseless killings. The FG wants us to believe it is merely clashes between herdsmen and farmers.

The cost of living has seriously skyrocketed. There is untold hardship and suffering. Those of us that are fortunate to have jobs are inundated daily with calls from friends and relatives to assist in one way or the other. The present government unfortunately seems to be at a loss on how to salvage the situation.

Enter Atiku, the candidate of the PDP, a party with a sordid and unsavoury past who have promised to 'restructure' the country. A former Vice President with a seemingly cerebral and cosmopolitan outlook. A bussiness man and an employer of labour. The ruling party wants us to believe that he is corrupt despite never been charged or arrested for any corruption related offence. Who is fooling who? The ruling party should come up with other issues because the corruption allegation will not stick.

Folks, honestly my dilemma now is not either waiting for 4 years or 8 years for the south-east to govern the country, but the thought of PDP coming back to power with their sordid past sends shivers down my spine. Can a leopard really change its skin? The thought of Buhari continuing for another 4 years! Hmmmm. God have mercy.

Politics / There Are Plans To Destabilise Nigeria Before 2019 Polls – Cardinal Okogie by Emmytrill(m): 9:10am On Aug 30, 2018
RETIRED Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Anthony Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie, yesterday, warned of attempts by some unscrupulous politicians to destabilise Nigeria before the 2019 general elections even as he urged Nigerians not to vote on ethnic, religious or regional lines.
Cardinal Okogie In a letter entitled: ‘Beware the Ides of March’, Okogie said; “no true lover of Nigeria would want to drag this country into bloodshed.” The cleric said: “It will be their Ides of March when the grandstanding and insolence of presidential and gubernatorial media spokespersons will be utterly unhelpful.
Approaching another year of elections, this admonition has become frightfully pertinent. For what is being witnessed looks like a re-enactment of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. In this re-enactment, Julius Caesar would represent Nigeria; the Roman politicians who plotted his assassination would represent the average Nigerian politician, with Brutus, the politician pretending to be Caesar’s friend, representing politicians who, in their diabolically deadly intrigues, pretend to love Nigeria, but are actually plotting her descent into bloody disintegration. “Nigeria, like Caesar, must beware of the Ides of March.
We have been witnessing politically inspired violence by Boko Haram. We have also seen how Nigerians in the states of the middle belt are slaughtered by armed herdsmen. While the issues of Boko Haram and murderous herdsmen are yet to be given the attention they deserve, making refugees of some Nigerians on their homeland, we continue to read disturbing news of importation of arms to Nigeria. Previous importations have come and gone without any conviction or sanction. We ask, as we have been doing: Who are those importing arms into Nigeria? Are they ghosts? What is government doing about them? Why is it that some Nigerians kill other Nigerians with impunity? Why is it that those who masterminded the highly treasonable act of armed invasion of the National Assembly are yet to be identified, apprehended and arraigned before the courts? The build-up to the 2019 elections gives the impression that some people are out to destroy Nigeria. We must hold every political office holder and contender to an uncompromisingly rigorous standard. This is not the time to vote on ethnic, religious or regional lines. This is the time to vote on past records of public service. Let us not cast our votes for those who have ruined, are ruining and will ruin this country. Nigerians must beware of the Ides of March. We are still watching.”

Politics / Tinubu’s Breathtaking Hypocrisy - Shaka Momodu by Emmytrill(m): 3:45pm On Jul 23, 2018
When last February President Muhammadu Buhari saddled the former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu, with the task of reconciling all aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across the country, I scoffed at the idea and stated then that it was a futile exercise. The reasons were not far-fetched: Buhari by his actions had no genuine desire at reconciling the party members; with Tinubu as the chief aggrieved member, leading such efforts was a misnomer because he needed to be reconciled with some of the party members. I predicted that by the end of his brief, the party would be more divided than before.

Barely two weeks after Tinubu’s peace committee was inaugurated, crisis rocking the Kaduna State chapter of the APC, took a turn for the worse after a building located in the heart of Kaduna city, belonging to a leader of one of the two factions, Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi, was demolished by the state government. Tinubu’s committee said nothing publicly about such intolerant behaviour on the part of the state governor. That it happened after Tinubu’s supposed reconciliation committee was set up showed the disregard party members had for it.

Nearly six months after he embarked on that mission impossible, not much has been heard of the progress he has made with the reconciliation exercise. What is clear to all watchers of political developments in the country is that Tinubu has failed in his given task. In the last few weeks, a lot has happened that has further aggravated tensions, exacerbated divisions, and created more aggrieved members than the pre-Tinubu committee.

Twenty state chapters of the party have various cases at the courts – a fallout of the ward, local and state congresses that were held recently. With more infighting, the APC is facing a far more uncertain future by the day despite controlling the levers of power, going by the activities of the splinter group, the Reformed All Progressives Congress (R-APC) and the looming mass defections from the party. This does not include the attempt by the APC to conduct fresh congresses in Imo State to ensure that the party structures in the state remain under the control of Governor Rochas Okorocha. Nor does it take into consideration the attempt by Tinubu to compel Minister Rotimi Amaechi to relinquish his post as campaign director general of the Buhari Presidential Campaign Organisation, effectively creating more divisions in the ruling party.

It appears no one even remembers Tinubu’s committee or when they do, it may well be as a memoriam to its last act in search of an illusory peace. I doubt whether Tinubu himself still pretends to be reconciling anybody.

The man who gave Tinubu the job may have even forgotten about it or may be chuckling in his corner knowing it was never going to succeed. At least no one would blame him for not trying to bring the party together. He can now point the finger at Tinubu and say he failed in the assignment he (Buhari) gave him. As the various interests groups position to tear the APC apart, it is obvious the centre can no longer hold. Come to think of it, Tinubu’s opening act on his reconciliation mission was to launch a savage attack on the then chairman of the party, John Odigie-Oyegun. In a letter dripping with entitlement, arrogance of power, laced with malice but cleverly disguised as a fight to entrench democracy, he accused Oyegun of sabotaging his “presidential assignment”. It was hardly the right way to begin a reconciliation exercise.

Now, one is tempted to ask Tinubu what he has achieved beyond the fruitless travels, photo opportunity and the false sense of relevance after he was brought back from the cold. Since then, he has been eager to impress his master, making grandiose speeches of their heroic exploits. Tinubu has been talking too much lately, criticising opposition figures in what appears to be a total denial of reality. He has been waxing lyrical and pontificating about his party’s uncommon success and commitment to Buhari’s re-election bid. In his most recent statement published June 25, he strangely, accused “elements of the PDP” of frustrating and hindering the implementation of his party’s progressive agenda. “I must mention something of high concern; our progressive agenda has been hampered because elements of the PDP remain embedded in many agencies and ministries so crucial to daily governance. They have been fifth columnists, undermining our policies at every turn. While impeding reform, they also plot the comeback of their reactionary brethren to power. This is something we should no longer abide. Our party teams with competent, reform-minded people who would perform admirably in these positions. It is time we swept out the PDP remnants and put in position, people who actually care about the citizens,” he stated.

Tinubu continued his assault on our sensibilities and reality: “They wanted to see the end of us and our pursuit of good governance for Nigeria. You should not forget, as I shall never forget, the strong efforts they made to stop us in the courts. There were 12 cases brought trying to stop us from merging, from registering the new party, then attempting to bar our candidate from the election. With their schemes foiled, those who tried to destroy us must bear witness to the destruction of their edifice of corrupt governance and their dreams of unjust domination of our nation. While they planned a lifetime of greedy enrichment by looting the people’s resources and the public treasury for 60 years, we moved to reform the economy to bring development and aid to the poor.”

A lifetime of greedy enrichment by looting the people’s resources? That line particularly struck me. Does Tinubu’s suffocating stranglehold on Lagos mean anything to anyone reading? I really don’t know why people condemn things in others, they are manifestly guilty of. I have called the attention of behavioural scientists to explain why people behave like this. They are yet to get back to me.

It appeared nobody told Tinubu that his APC-led government is a lawless one that does not respect court orders and employs every tactic to constrain the political space which had been liberalised by the immediate-past administration.

Tinubu says the courts refused to be used to bar Buhari. The irony here must be emphasised for all to see: the orders of the very same court that cleared the way for Tinubu’s candidate, Buhari to contest the 2015 election are now being treated with utmost contempt once they are deemed unfavourable to the interests of the powers that be by the same Buhari now as president. The court system and other institutions of the state are also brazenly being manipulated and abused to achieve regime’s selfish objectives, chief of which is stay in power beyond 2019. The EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu now wears Buhari’s re-election lapel on his chest as open demonstration of partisanship – jarringly similar to what happened during Abacha’s transmutation plan in 1998. Does Tinubu even reflect on all these? We have never had it so bad. Imagine for a moment that it was under the last regime, these transgressions were taking place with Tinubu in the opposition.

By the way, which agenda was he talking about? An agenda that does not include the restructuring of the country and the enthronement of true fiscal federalism? He used to be a chief advocate of fiscal federalism and restructuring when he was in the opposition. Today, as a high-profile member of the ruling party, Tinubu is no longer enthusiastic about restructuring, instead he has retreated from it. How can he be enthusiastic about it, when his party is now in control at the federal level?

When he was the governor of Lagos State, he defiled the federal government by creating local governments all in pursuit of his belief that it was not the business of the federal government to create local government areas. What has happened to this man who cut his political teeth by championing the restructuring of the country? Now, which reform was Tinubu talking about? Can anyone articulate that agenda or reform to me? Because the only agenda I have seen so far is the wanton killing of Nigerians by herdsmen with the complicity of the Buhari government and the APC, with the latter maintaining a disturbing silence on the issue.

While Tinubu condemned the last government over Boko Haram attacks as an opposition figure, he is silent on the activities of Fulani herdsmen. He is blind to the atrocities being perpetrated by Fulani herdsmen who are forcefully seizing farmlands and burning down communities or occupying them. He has never condemned the brazen audacity of Miyetti Allah which has consistently defended the indefensible killing of human beings as revenge for the killing of cows. It is a shame that he sees nothing wrong with the ongoing genocide. As a matter of fact, he is doing everything he can to distract the public from focusing on the failure of the government to stop the killings.

The truth here is that Tinubu is helping to normalise the atrocities and crimes against humanity by his silence. We must not allow him to succeed in his posturing this time. We must call him out now before it is too late. This man is determined to continue the false narrative of change. He is deceiving Nigerians that this government is better than the previous one and that there is no looting going on. This is a lie and we must challenge it. At every turn, he praises Buhari to the heavens; a Commander-in-Chief who has told the whole world that he can only pray for the killings to stop and will put more pressure on the security agencies to stop the killings. Do these people really think we are dummies or what? Tinubu continues to tell us Buhari is doing a good job and should continue on the part of doing good. Well, there is a saying in the land of my fathers that “any man who claims to have caught a frog by its tail is being economical with the truth”. Any man with conscience and respect for truth would tell you the president is not doing a good job by failing to secure the lives and properties of Nigerians.

On looting and corruption, Tinubu should ask Maikanti Baru, chief executive of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), how the consumption of petrol jumped from 30-35 million litres to 60-65 million litres a day in less than a year. If he claims this is a transparent government, then he should ask Baru and the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Buhari, how contracts worth $25 billion were awarded without due process and the approval of the board.

As Tinubu continues to negotiate the facts, Nigeria is in the worst shape ever. In three years of the APC government, the country has been declared the poverty capital of the world. This came on the heels of another report declaring it as one of the most dangerous places in the world to give birth (169th) with the fourth-worst maternal mortality rate in the world ahead of only Sierra Leone, Central African Republic and Chad. Bill Gates told this government the grim truth not long ago and they were not happy.

In the latest annual ranking of the safest and least safe countries by Gallup, Nigeria placed 116th out of 142 countries, with violence-ridden Libya, Rwanda, Ethiopia, CAR, Niger ranked safer than Nigeria under Buhari’s APC government.


With all these, Tinubu still claimed that we are “making steady, sustainable progress”. He was not worried by these grim statistics. Maybe his APC agenda is not to right the situation but to win the election for Buhari in 2019.

In the good old days, it was easy to situate Tinubu and where he stood on burning national issues. Not anymore! The man has evolved and his views have morphed into a caricature of what he used to represent. Buhari’s “parochial” views on restructuring and federalism are antithetical to what defined Tinubu in the past. Tinubu, on other hand, has maintained a deafening silence on the issue of restructuring. He now wears a dark veil and pretends the current structure serves the country well. The once-upon-a-time champion of the Sovereign National Conference (SNC) that was supposed to restructure Nigeria is now a willing accomplice to all efforts that undermine it. He has become an object of mockery and humour among many reform-minded Nigerians. Perhaps, he has assimilated Buhari’s stand, or how else would one rationalise his silence?

One final thing: when APC leaves power someday, will Tinubu ever latch onto restructuring and fiscal federalism again? It is not impossible that he will revert to it as a way to reinvent himself, but we must not allow him get away with it. This man’s hypocrisy is simply breathtaking.

Religion / Re: Father Mbaka Attacks Buhari: 'Disaster Is Coming, Angels Warming Up For You' by Emmytrill(m): 6:45pm On Jul 22, 2018
Keep shut if you don't have anything tangible to say. Didn't God genuinely choose Saul as king over Isreal? Didn't God also move against him when he deviated from his path? Most people had high hope Buhari will do well. But as he has failed, his office, let another take!!!

emmie14:
Mbaka is a professional talkative. He have passion in contradictions. The same Buhari you advertised 3years ago as messiah, the same man you are condemning. Speaking from both sides of the mouth.

I would like to draw the attention of the MODs to the fact that this article is originally from the Guardian Newspapers. Lazy bloggers will just pick up a story and attribute it to their wack sites without due reference to the original source! This is plagiarism and should be highly discouraged on this great platform. i don't have any issues with picking up stories, but always attribute it to the original owner!
