“And he (Elisha) went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.”

Crime / Father Of Chelsea’s John Obi Mikel Kidnapped In Nigeria by juventino: 12:50pm On Aug 15, 2011
Father of Chelsea’s John Obi Mikel kidnapped in Nigeria, player’s representatives confirm
Michael Obi has not been seen since Friday evening but no ransom has yet been received, and the 24-year-old was informed prior to the Blues' game against Stoke on Sunday

The father of Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has been kidnapped in Nigeria, the player’s representatives have confirmed.

Michael Obi, who runs an interstate transport company in the city of Jos, has been missing since Friday when he failed to return home from work, and all of the subsequent attempts to reach him on his mobile phone have gone unanswered.

A statement by Mikel’s representatives, the Sports Entertainment and Media Group (SEM), reads: “SEM confirms that client John Obi Mikel’s father was abducted in Nigeria on Friday 10th August. Thus far no ransom has been received.

“Mikel was informed by his manager prior to the Stoke v Chelsea match & decided to play so as not to let down his team & family.

“Chelsea FC are taking legal advice as to a possible Press Conference later today & security issues around Mikel.”

News of Mr Obi’s disappearance initially broke when the player’s agent, John Ola Shittu, spoke to KickOffNigeria.com, although at that stage it was not yet known whether he had been abducted or was simply missing.

“At the moment we have not heard from Mikel's father, or anyone else, so we don't know what it is. At this point, we only consider him missing,” Shittu told the website.

“He is totally devastated. We were not sure whether to tell him before the game. But after speaking to the manager, and Mike Emenalo [Chelsea's sporting director], we agreed that he had a right to be informed of such a serious incident.

“He was under a lot of stress, but he showed a lot of character and mental strength to play against Stoke.”

This is the second time a family member of a major Nigerian footballer has been targeted by kidnappers, after national team captain Joseph Yobo’s younger brother Norum was held hostage for 12 days in 2008.

Politics / Al-mustapha’s Allegation: Plot To Rubbish Yoruba Leaders Ahead 2015 Uncovered by juventino: 8:10am On Aug 08, 2011
IT emerged in Abuja on Sunday that some of the revelations being attributed to the Chief Security Officer (CSO) to the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, Major Hamza al-Mustapha, were part of an orchestrated plot to discredit top Yoruba leaders as a way of politically neutralising the South-West zone ahead of the 2015 general election.

Contrary to claims by the former CSO that he had a video evidence to show that some notable Yoruba leaders were “settled” to resolve the political logjam occasioned by the death of the winner of the June 12 1993 presidential election, Chief MKO Abiola, in detention, Mustapha only showed clips already broadcast by the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) in 1998.

The former CSO had claimed that the regime of General Abdulsalami Abubakar withdrew the sums of $200 milion, £75 million and N200 million to settle certain persons in respect of the crisis occasioned by the death of Abiola.

Nothing, however, linked the late Yoruba leaders mentioned in the al-Mustapha submissions to any scene of money sharing in the video clip he provided to the court.

Sources, however, confirmed that analysis of the former CSO’s claims indicated a desperate bid to secure public sympathy, get out of the prolonged detention and also score some political points against the South-West in the process ahead of the next general election.

Sources said that some key political strategists had discovered that the former CSO had the backing of some notable political figures from the North in his attempt to scandalise key Yoruba figures. According to sources, the plot actually emanated within the political circles.

A source said that in their calculations ahead of 2015, some political figures had planned to silence the South-West and ensure it did not speak with one voice in the next general election.

It was discovered that the solid support given to President Goodluck Jonathan in the April election was the decider of the election and that once seeds of doubts were planted among the Yoruba, they will never really regain the unity before the next election and that as such, any northern candidate can benefit from such disunity.

“Some movements and secret meetings of late among certain key political figures in the North indicate that the 2015 battle has started in earnest. There is the belief that the Yoruba nation has to be destabilised and the al-Mustapha theory is coming in handy,” a source said, a number of missing gaps in the former CSO’s story easily gave him away.

“There was nothing hidden about the visit of Pa Abraham Adesanya and other Yoruba leaders to Aso Rock after Abiola’s death. It was not a hidden meeting at all and the Political Committee of Afenifere had actually given its nod to that meeting. It was decided that the Yoruba should participate in General Abdulsalami Abubakar’s transition programme,” another source in the know said, adding that the plot to cause disunity among the Yoruba should be closely watched.

“The strategy is that once the credible leaders are scandalised, no one would be able to unite the Yoruba,” the source further said.

“With the fear that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may finally jettison zoning in line with the suggestions by former President Olusegun Obasanjo at a recent meeting, the North is afraid the South-West could rally round a candidate and give the planned transfer of power to the North a huge scare,” another source said, adding that the submissions by al-Mustapha had to be juxtaposed with the reality of 1998.

Politics / Abati: For The Attention Of General Buhari by juventino: 10:36am On Apr 22, 2011
LEADERSHIP is what will make Nigeria, it is also what will break it; leadership failure is precisely what is responsible for the crisis that the country is now witnessing after a Presidential election that was adjudged successful by local and international observers and which has received high praise from the United States, Germany, France, Britain, Cote D’Ivoire (!) and France. Since April 16, there has been an outbreak of violence in the Northern parts of the country, with 59 persons dead, thousands injured, many churches, homes and mosques destroyed. It is leadership that can save the country at this very moment, and prevent the fulfillment of the apocalyptic prediction that the present electoral process will result in an implosion of the country. And one man on whom history beckons to play the role of statesman and sportsman, is General Muhammadu Buhari, the Presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), former Nigerian Head of State and three-time Presidential candidate since 1999.

Buhari’s CPC came second in the Presidential election of April 16, with 25% of the votes in 16 states (all in the North), and a total of 12.2 million votes out of a total valid votes cast of 39. 5 million. But since the announcement of the results which recognized incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan as the winner of the election with 25% of the total valid votes cast in 31 states and 22. 4 million votes, Buhari’s supporters in the Northern states have been on rampage. Mostly young, poor and unemployed, they are united by the anger that a Southern Christian, an unbeliever in their reckoning, and a product/promoter of Western education is now president-elect. A geographical picture of the voting pattern in the Presidential election has indicated how that election threw up primordial ethnic, religious and identity questions, the same questions that have been responsible for the inability to create a truly united nation out of Nigeria. Buhari got sectarian votes in 16 Northern states: they voted for him because he is Muslim and Fulani, Jonathan received high votes in the South South, the South East, and the South West and captured the Christian votes plus PDP votes in the North, an indication that his Southerner kinsmen were not willing to forsake him either. Nuhu Ribadu who got 25% of the votes in four Yoruba states did so because he was candidate of a largely Yoruba party. If anything, Jonathan’s victory would seem to prove the point suggested in Section 134 of the Nigerian Constitution to the effect that whoever wants to be President of the country must receive the people’s votes across the country. Buhari failed that test.

Still, General Muhammadu Buhari and his CPC have rejected the results of the April 16 Presidential election. The only other party, which is protesting loudly, is the FRESH Party led by Pastor Okotie. Okotie’s party scored 34, 331 votes and did not win the required 25% in any state of the Federation. The pastor wants the results of the election to be rejected and an interim government instituted to review the “entire democratic process.” The ACN also refused to sign the results sheets of the Presidential election, but that party’s protest has been half-hearted. It is Buhari’s CPC that has literally been on the offensive. There is no iota of doubt whatsoever that the angry youths who have made a section of the country ungovernable believe that they are acting on behalf of the CPC. They have been chanting: “mu ke so, ba muso hanni” (It is Buhari we want, we don’t want an unbeliever”). General Buhari has been quoted in the media saying that he deplores the violence, he has also spoken on BBC Hausa service, and he has issued two statements in English language to that effect. General Buhari has to do much more than that. His responses to the electoral process and his party’s have been at best contradictory and mischievous.

It will be recalled that in the first week of March 2011, General Buhari advised his supporters to “lynch” anybody who tries to rig the April polls. In his words: “you should never leave polling centres until votes are counted and the winner declared and you should lynch anybody that tries to tinker with the votes.” Subsequently, with his supporters having been so incited, General Buhari disclosed that he did not intend to go to court as a person, but that his party could do so, in the event of his not winning the election. In the same month of March 2011, Buhari’s running mate, Pastor Tunde Bakare also allegedly declared that there would be a “wild wild North” if the elections were rigged. Buhari and Bakare were strongly criticized for this, with pointed insinuations by a group called “Coalition for Transparency and Integrity” that the CPC duo did not have the right temperament for the job that they sought. On April 16, General Buhari after voting complained about unusual aircraft movement and the distribution of ballot papers that had already been thumb-printed: “Buhari said that it was the responsibility of young people as major stakeholders to ensure that the elections were free and fair. If they allow the ruling party to mess them up, it is they who will suffer for the next 40 years.” (The Punch, April 17, at page 14). There has been a lot of lynching in the North since then! Today, we also have on our hands, a “wild wild North”. So, what exactly does General Buhari want? And what should he do?

I think he should place national interest above personal ambition. If indeed he does not believe in the violence that has erupted in the North, he needs to go on radio, and on television and advise his supporters to stop fighting now and to allow the next elections on April 26 to hold peacefully. He must say so pointedly, and unequivocally. This is a message he cannot afford to bury in the midst of complaints about electoral malpractices. And he must convey that message in his own voice and repeatedly in Hausa and Fulfude, the languages that the rioters are more likely to understand and appreciate. He must in doing this, enlist the support of the same emirs that his supporters are denigrating, and the imams and ulamas. Today being Friday, the sermon in all mosques in the North should be a sermon of peace, the angry youths must be told that there is nothing gained by the CPC, the North or the “believers” through the slaughtering of youth corps members and other innocent Nigerians. General Buhari is obviously a folk hero among his supporters. But he must realize that the whole of Nigeria is his heritage having served once as the Head of State of this country. He must not allow himself to end up as the man who would be remembered as the catalyst for a third implosion of the country, a possibility that is signposted by the reference in the President’s speech on the crisis to the Civil war of 1967-70, and June 12, 1993. Today is Good Friday, a day that symbolizes sacrifice. The meaning of Good Friday needs not be explained to either Buhari or Bakare, except that both men are at that same crossroads where they are required to make sacrifice for their country: a sacrifice for unity, peace and stability.

I have read the statement issued by General Buhari titled “Message of Peace and Hope.” There is very little about hope in that message. A speech in which the General writes off the entire election as fraudulent and Jega as insincere, and shows no sign of reconciliation with the opposition says nothing about hope, rather it says everything about the likely dangers ahead. General Buhari should realise that it is precisely this kind of attitude that led to the current crisis in Cote D’Ivoire. In the US Presidential election in 2000, Al Gore could have put his feet down over Florida: the margin between him and George Bush Jnr was so close, but in the end, he conceded defeat so America could move on. In 1979, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, who commanded like Buhari, a cult-like following chose to go to court to contest the results of the Presidential election in part, his disciples insist, in order to prevent violent protest in the South West, and the occurrence of another “wild wild West phenomenon.” It is such statesman-like conduct that is required from Buhari at this moment.

The Congress for Progressive Change has declared its intention to go to court. While it is doing that, the party should also help to educate its angry and violent supporters in the North about the meaning and nature of democracy. In a democracy, the minority may be right and wise, but it may lose to the majority, and once it does so, the majority is allowed to have its way. On April 16, the majority of Nigerians spoke in unison across 31 states and gave victory in the Presidential election to Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP. It is only the tribunal or the courts that can upturn that result, not the mob, relying on self-help. Clearly, voter education remains a problem in our emerging democracy. The CPC did not help matters by arguing that it approached INEC and asked that Professor Jega should not go ahead with the announcement of the Presidential election results without addressing the party’s complaints. Didn’t the CPC big men know that no political party has such powers to order the abortion of an electoral process mid-way?

The CPC has every right to go to court. But they should stop telling us that it is the party going to court, not General Buhari. In my view, there is no difference. The CPC is General Buhari’s special purpose vehicle. He set up the party in 2010, after disagreeing with his former colleagues in the ANPP. He deserves credit for building up a new political party into a formidable force in less than ten months. In terms of performance, the CPC in fact did well, capturing 12.2 million votes. It lost the big prize due to its special handicaps: it lacked a strong structure as well as financial resources; it also adopted on a strategy that relied on Northern demographics, and third, the party failed to take advantage of the proposed merger/alliance with the ACN which could have been a game-changer in the Presidential election. Now weeping uncontrollably before and after the election, the CPC alleges that there were malpractices in the South South and the South East and a total of 23 states across the country. The party alleges that its polling agents were chased away from collation centres and that the Excel software used by INEC was deliberately configured to sabotage the CPC. Ironically, the same CPC had earlier praised the National Assembly elections of April 9 as “free and fair.” The party is talking about malpractices, but it has not said that it won the election or that Jonathan did not win. Even if the elections in the South South and the South East were cancelled, and a re-run ordered, Jonathan will still win in those states. If CPC’s ambition is to defend the credibility of the process, then why is it not protesting the large turn-out of under-age voters in all the states where it won its 25% in the North?
