My thoughts on Nuremberg

Orji Uzor Kalu

For a long time I have decided to hang my pen, perhaps politics has taken over, especially since 2015 until it was possible to serve my people once again from the corridor of the senate when I won to become a senator from Abia North senatorial district.

Before the victory and after it, I have not failed to allow my mind wonder on the happenings around the country, especially in the area of politics. Atimes my thoughts on this particular subject had made me to laugh and at other times, just sheer wonderment. There is no doubt that a country as great as Nigeria with its many dimensional facets and the different mentalities that make it up, there is sure going to be a full dose of comprehending the various happenings around the country.

To say I do not know and understand the political burdens that bother on the polity, let alone other areas of the country, is telling an unforgiveable lie, which I cannot forgive myself nor allow others to forgive me of.

Nigeria right from its political inception, without mincing words has gone through lot of political sorrows, and some of these sorrows are still there hanging on every one of us, especially on the shoulders of the leaders.

There is hunger in the country, there is anger, frustration, insecurity and many more ills, and whatever suggestions or attempts in dealing with all these seem to fall to the sandy soil and washed away by the slightest rainfall or wind. This is quite understandable; trust is dead, hope is lost and love has become some emotional feeling that has no place in our hearts.

But how have I been dealing with all these? Silence and quiet to allow things roll by and deal with themselves, nevertheless coming out, as I just did by going to pick up my pen where it has been resting all these years. Because the country where I have served as a governor, now its senator and a country which has provided me with the opportunities to become what and who I am must move forward, and move forward in the right direction, irrespective of the many and different knocks I have got for some of my actions and utterances, which of course are based on misunderstanding and people not having the time to pause to read between the lines.

Are we bad losers? There are times when I think many of us politicians have lowered ourselves to that basement, not for any reason but what I want to think is political competitiveness where somebody thinks he or she has the right to take the glory of any deed that would benefit the people. Wrong politics and politicking I think. Because in the process politicians have become gods and those who are to be served have lost faith in themselves and the aftermath is dealing in violence and the most un-called-for aggression.

Was the incident at Nuremberg, Germany against Distinguished Senator Ike Ekweramadu, the former Deputy Senate President of the country called for?

Germany is a country I visit all the time for one thing all the other; it is a peaceful country with laws in place that do not give room for violence and damning aggression of whatever height. But that peaceful atmosphere seemed to have been dented not by what I would describe as original Germans but by resident Nigerians, on one of their own.

I am not going to start talking about cultures and traditions here because everything in existence is subject to evolvement, but the core of every culture and tradition has its stipulations, and no doubt these stipulations in their evolvement is directed at making our humanity better and when these stipulations and its core are wished away, can we dare say we are humans?

Nigerians from every part of the country are aggrieved. The grievances are not regional, the angers and frustrations experienced from one locality is the same everywhere because they are the consequences of bad leadership which I have not stopped talking about right from the moment I went into business and found myself in politics.

I am a religious man and I have read lot of religious stories and tried many a time to understand the allegories, illustrations and pictures they try to paint and convey. One especially is that of creation. God and Lucifer. Where there are differences in thoughts and idealism, where interests vary; where there are no balances in swinging, decisions will have to be made.

But these decisions, how are they made and carried out? How we do this will go a long way to determining the growth of our thoughts and the expanse of our reasoning and how we have allowed the cultures and traditions that have shaped us to evolve.

What happened at Nuremberg showed we are still in search of that growth and evolvement. You do not force an idea or supposition on people; you do not say because you believe a particular discourse is right then you must proceed to force it upon all to accept or adapt into their thinking and life. Maturity must come to play, and in this maturity, there must be a place for romantic discourse that tend to show and prove to all concerned why that idea should be incorporated without shoving it down every throat.

Biafra has grown into an idea-a philosophy. A philosophical idea that speaks to everything negative ranging from hunger, anger deprivation, marginalization, pain, anguish, illiteracies, insecurities, the right to unity or not, the right to self-determination; separatism, bad leadership, political arrogance and political double-speak, etc.; all these which I think form the conceptualized philosophical idea of Biafra I strongly believe in, but how do you push this philosophical idea forward to be accepted by all and convince those who are in doubt to believe and find passionate acceptance of it?

This is a question I think only IPOB can answer. And in finding an answer to this question the organization and those who control it must bear it in mind that a belief can only become conviction when people can only find reason and thinking in displayed actions and words and not by the violence or attack on either the like of Ike or any other person.

This one pass one question na .

gather here if u know u didn't bother to read that epistle

Epistle for one question? One question from us to u is when are u travelling to Germany?.

StandardJohn:
gather here if u know u didn't bother to read that epistle

but the OP, poster and postee are both drunk in some dung shiits

Even law students can’t answer the question.

Oga senator.... Travel go UK or Germany go ask KANU or any IPOB your questions..

We the new ichie will be cheering you from this side

I'll advise you go to Germany and ask them that question..

Am very sure they'll have the perfect answer for you

Useless thief Orji Kalu travels to Germany for medical treatment and couldn't fix or establish a single hospital during his 8 year tenure in Abia. IPOB will welcome him at the airport when next he visits.

Oga this one na long grammar,no near there oh,na God I take beg u,I still want to dey see ur face, not minding say u no do well for Abia state

I knew there was something wrong with the person that wrote that article. Didn't you all notice that his d*ck is supplying the fluid being injected into his leg.

While I will never support the humiliation that Ike Ekweremadu received, I doubt I would have been disapproving of that action, if it had been meted out on people like Orji Kalu, Buhari, Buratai, Amaechi or even any of the SE governors

Orji Kalu should take his question paper to germany.

IPOB will give him enough new yam for his stress.

Stupid question that deserve "NO" answer .

OK oh

Na by asking question?..leave naija first,make they answer am for u

God won't forgive u for the very low standard you set\left ur state in

Meanwhile, I'm still searching for the question sha

See ehen"!!! I have never been in support of IPOB or Nnamdi Kalu but I cannot deny the fact that this Ekweremadu beating seems to be a solution ooo, it has sent a strong signal to our politicians and for the first time in a long time a cold shiver down their spines........

I posted something about Mainone Cable interview, nobody answered me

Nairaland when did we get here now?


I need orientation pleaseeee


Interview is this week

If any of you find the question kindly quote me.

U go to Germany and ask nnmadi dere

Kalu was one of those Igbo politicians who hosted Kanu. Ekweremadu was another and Abaribe stood surety for him. In fact, Ikpeazu was initially against military forcing Kanu out of Abia if not for Buhari's insistence.

So, the baby that was nurtured and developed by politicians like Kalu and Ekweremadu has grown and they are simply eating the fruits of their labour.

He has not started, let Ipob break their heads and put some sense inside.

ANSWER: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." - J F Kennedy. And, this is only a warning sign.

I'm happy everyone is shivering. IPOB is in every country in this world.

Very soon, igbo politicians will fear their people more than they fear their northern counterparts.

OUK should go to Germany and ask Nnamdi himself. He should just make sure he gets his IPOB clearance at MMIA before boarding his flight.

When did you and who get where?
Don't you know the road to Mainone office or the link to Jobs and Vacancies thread?

Go to Careers section, you'll see Telecoms Professionals thread.

Type Mainone in the search box, click the drop down and select jobs and vacancies or careers. Click it. Select any of the threads and ask them there.

Good luck.

i think orji Uzor kalu is having the feeling that he is NEXT in Goldberg’s voice.

I was seriously looking for the question and behold I found none.
