I grew up in the streets of Aba and was already of age at the time OUK ascended the highest political position in Abia State.

At that time, the level of political awareness among locales was very low and the clever OUK rode on this to cripple the state while he made sure its inhabitants smiled weekly to the Eyimba international Stadium to cheer the always-victorious Peoples' Elephant to mind-blowing victories.


As usual, OUK was always present with his commissioners to share in this weekly joy. The people loved him for this magnanimous association. He constructed few quality roads and a plethora of low quality roads, introduced the much needed Bakassi boys to curb the security challenges, and created an unbeatable football monster in Eyimba FC.


It was OUK that made me fall in love with football and its practitioners. Obinna Nwaneri, Ndidi Anumunu, Enyeama, Onyekachi Okoronkwo, Romanus Orjinta(of blessed memory) et al were all beauties to watch and the inhabitants of the city trooped out in thousands to witness these local heroes.

However, for each of his good strides there was a commensurate or worse evil. He made sure all political roads in Abia led to Eziama G.R.A where his sorceress of a mother lived and practiced her political sorcery. It was rumoured that one needed to peel Melon seedlings at the feet of OUK's mother, Odiukonamba, to be considered for a political appointment or to be victorious at state related elections.

OUK sinned against Abians. But when T.A arrived, Abians realised that OUK was rather a saint with a few sinful stains. Ikpeazu like his name connotes has effortlessly dragged Abians backward.

For now, God's own state will remain in the devil's hand until a time when the devil's hands grow weary and unable to carry any longer.
Nwanne iwu nwa Aba!! But on a more serious note, Ikpeazu has tried for Aba than Ouk and T.A. But that does not mean he is excellent. He is just trying ....

Foreign AffairsBrexit: Scottish Judges Rule Parliament Suspension Is Unlawful by Umueme(op): 6:22pm On Sep 11, 2019
Boris Johnson’s suspension of the UK Parliament is unlawful, Scotland’s highest civil court has ruled.
A panel of three judges at the Court of Session found in favour of a cross-party group of politicians who were challenging the prime minister's move. The judges said the PM was attempting to prevent Parliament holding the government to account ahead of Brexit .

A UK government appeal against the ruling will be heard by the Supreme Court in London next week. The Court of Session decision overturns an earlier ruling from the court, which said last week that Mr Johnson had not broken the law.

Why is this court ruling significant?

MPs demand Parliament be recalled after court case

Why are MPs being sent home?

The current five week suspension of Parliament, a process known as proroguing, started in the early hours of Tuesday. MPs are not scheduled to return to Parliament until 14 October, when there will be a Queen's Speech outlining Mr Johnson's legislative plans.

The UK is due to leave the EU on 31 October. Opposition parties have called for Parliament to be immediately recalled in the wake of the court judgement, but Downing Street said this would not happen ahead of the Supreme Court's ruling on the case. Downing Street also distanced itself from reports that quoted Number 10 sources as suggesting the Scottish judges were politically biased, and insisted that the prime minister has "absolute respect" for the independence of the judiciary.

What did the Scottish judges say?

Mr Johnson had previously insisted that it was normal practice for a new government to prorogue Parliament, and that it was "nonsense" to suggest he was attempting to undermine democracy. But the Court of Session judges were unanimous in finding that Mr Johnson was motivated by the "improper purpose of stymieing Parliament", and he had effectively misled the Queen in advising her to suspend Parliament.

They added: "The Court will accordingly make an Order declaring that the prime minister's advice to HM the Queen and the prorogation which followed thereon was unlawful and is thus null and of no effect."

The group of more than 70 largely pro-Remain MPs and peers behind the legal challenge were headed by SNP MP Joanna Cherry, who said they felt "utterly vindicated". The parliamentarians appealed to the Inner House of the Court of Session after their original challenge to the suspension of Parliament was dismissed by judge Lord Doherty last week. Lord Doherty said Mr Johnson had not broken the law by proroguing Parliament, and that it was for MPs and the electorate to judge the prime minister's actions rather than the courts. But the three Inner House judges said they disagreed with Lord Doherty's ruling because this particular prorogation had been a "tactic to frustrate Parliament" rather than a legitimate use of the power.

One of the three judges, Lord Brodie, said: "This was an egregious case of a clear failure to comply with generally accepted standards of behaviour of public authorities. "It was to be inferred that the principal reasons for the prorogation were to prevent or impede Parliament holding the executive to account and legislating with regard to Brexit, and to allow the executive to pursue a policy of a no-deal Brexit without further Parliamentary interference."

Lord Drummond Young said that the UK government had failed to show a valid reason for the prorogation, adding: "The circumstances, particularly the length of the prorogation, showed that the purpose was to prevent such scrutiny. "The only inference that could be drawn was that the UK government and the prime minister wished to restrict Parliament."

The High Court in London says that advice given by the prime minister to the Queen to suspend parliament is basically "political" - something the government has argued from the get go - and so it's not a matter the courts should get involved in because there are really no legal standards against which to judge it. Scotland's highest court disagreed, strongly. It ruled that the prime minister's advice could be unlawful if its purpose was to stymie parliamentary scrutiny. That's because parliament's role in scrutinising the government is a central pillar of our constitution, which follows naturally from the principles of democracy and the rule of law.

Two courts, two totally contradictory judgments. They are now both hurtling towards the highest court in the land, the UK Supreme Court, where that contradiction will be resolved. There will be a definitive ruling on whether the prime minister acted unlawfully, or not - and that will determine whether parliament is to be recalled in the lead up to 31 October. And that is how our constitution works. Through what's known as judicial review, independent judges can stop the might of government in its tracks if what ministers have done is unlawful. Because as lawyers like to say: "Be you ever so mighty, the law is above you."

What was the reaction to the ruling?

A spokesman for Number 10 said it was "disappointed" by the decision, and would appeal to the Supreme Court. He added: "The UK government needs to bring forward a strong domestic legislative agenda. Proroguing Parliament is the legal and necessary way of delivering this."

Scotland's first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, said the ruling was of "enormous constitutional significance", and that Parliament should be recalled immediately to allow it to do the "real and substantive work of scrutiny". She added: "The prime minister's behaviour has been outrageous and reckless, and has shown a complete disregard for constitutional rules and norms."

Labour's Shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer said Parliament should be recalled as early as this afternoon. He told the BBC: "Most people didn't believe Boris Johnson, but for the courts to find he has unlawfully shut down Parliament and that his motive wasn't the one he said it was? That's very powerful. "I call on him to recall Parliament. Let's get it back open, and sitting this afternoon and tomorrow, so we can debate what happens next and we can debate this judgement."

Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson, who was one of the politicians involved in the case, said: "There is one reason why Boris Johnson has prorogued Parliament and that's because he wants to force through his no-deal Brexit, and he wants to do that without having scrutiny and without having to abide by the normal rules."

And Dominic Grieve, the former Conservative MP and attorney general who now sits as an independent, said the prime minister should "resign very swiftly" if he has misled the Queen.

The Court of Session does not criticise the Queen's decision to prorogue Parliament at Boris Johnson's request; it rules on the advice the Prime Minister gave the Queen. But the ruling raises questions for the Palace and the constitutional role of the Queen. Although the Queen was expected to grant the prorogation - there was precedent for suspending parliament before the Queen's Speech, and she acts on the advice of her ministers - she is not simply a rubber stamp for the government of the day.

How well was the Queen advised?

Should the Palace have pushed Downing Street harder as to the reasons for the prorogation?

The Queen has been drawn into the Brexit mire, and the questions now go to the heart of her constitutional role. If she has no discretion at all over prorogation, what is her constitutional purpose? If she has discretion, when would she use it? Traditionally politicians step very carefully around these issues so as not embarrass the Queen and upset the constitutional order. But these are far from traditional times.

What happened at the High Court in London? High Court judges in London have given their reasons why a similar legal challenge by businesswoman Gina Miller was dismissed last week. They said they rejected her claim because the suspension of Parliament was a "purely political" move and was therefore "not a matter for the courts". Ms Miller's case was deemed "non justiciable" - not capable of being determined by the courts - in a written summary of the reasoning behind the judgment .

Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett, Master of the Rolls Sir Terence Etherton and President of the Queen's Bench Division Dame Victoria Sharp said their conclusion was based on "well-established and conventional grounds". They said the speed with which Parliament passed a bill to prevent a no-deal Brexit highlighted a flaw in Ms Miller's argument. "The ability of Parliament to move with speed when it chooses to do so undermines the underlying premise of the case for the claimant that prorogation would deny Parliament the opportunity to do precisely what it has now done," the judges said.

Ms Miller is appealing the decision in the Supreme Court at the hearing which will take place on 17 September.

PoliticsKen Saro Wiwa's Curse On Nigeria 24 Years Ago by Umueme(op): 12:06am On Sep 10, 2019
We will stand before the judgement seat of God and history

Trial Speech of Ken Saro-Wiwa (1995) by Ken Saro-Wiwa

Ken Saro-Wiwa was brutally killed by General Sani Abacha for his protest against the devastation of the Ogoni people’s land by multinational oil corporations.

Saro-Wiwa was arrested in May, 1994 in Nigeria on what many believe to have been spurious charges.

On November 10, 1995, Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight of his comrades (the “Ogoni Nine”) were executed by hanging after being found guilty of murder by a specially arranged military tribunal.

Independent UK reported that it took five attempts to hang Ken Saro-Wiwa before the Nigerian writer spoke his last words and his body went limp. “Lord take my soul, but the struggle continues,” were the anti-government activist’s final words before he died on Friday morning, blindfolded and dangling from a rope.

In the speech made by Ken Saro-Wiwa, Nigerian political activist, given before but around the time of 10 November 1995, during the author’s trial for incitement to murder, he said:

“We all stand on trial, my lord, for by our actions we have denigrated our country and jeopardized the future of our children. As we subscribe to the sub-normal and accept double standards, as we lie and cheat openly, as we protect injustice and oppression, we empty our classrooms, denigrate our hospitals, fill our stomachs with hunger and elect to make ourselves the slaves of those who ascribe to higher standards, pursue the truth, and honor justice, freedom, and hard work. I predict that the scene here will be played and replayed by generations yet unborn.”

Saro Wiwa’s speech was about the struggle for a homeland in the Niger Delta for the Ogoni people, but every Nigerian could easily identity his prophesy as having been fulfilled and is fulfilling on Nigeria till date.

The text of the speech reprinted below appears under the title “Ken Saro-Wiwa’s final address to the military-appointed tribunal” in Earth Island Journal, Vol. 11, Issue 1, page 25 (Winter 1995) looks like a curse on Nigeria.

My lord,

We all stand before history. I am a man of peace, of ideas. Appalled by the denigrating poverty of my people who live on a richly endowed land, distressed by their political marginalization and economic strangulation, angered by the devastation of their land, their ultimate heritage, anxious to preserve their right to life and to a decent living, and determined to usher to this country as a whole a fair and just democratic system which protects everyone and every ethnic group and gives us all a valid claim to human civilization, I have devoted my intellectual and material resources, my very life, to a cause in which I have total belief and from which I cannot be blackmailed or intimidated. I have no doubt at all about the ultimate success of my cause, no matter the trials and tribulations which I and those who believe with me may encounter on our journey. Nor imprisonment nor death can stop our ultimate victory.

I repeat that we all stand before history. I and my colleagues are not the only ones on trial. Shell is here on trial and it is as well that it is represented by counsel said to be holding a watching brief. The Company has, indeed, ducked this particular trial, but its day will surely come and the lessons learnt here may prove useful to it for there is no doubt in my mind that the ecological war that the Company has waged in the Delta will be called to question sooner than later and the crimes of that war be duly punished. The crime of the Company’s dirty wars against the Ogoni people will also be punished.

On trial also is the Nigerian nation, its present rulers and those who assist them. Any nation which can do to the weak and disadvantaged what the Nigerian nation has done to the Ogoni, loses a claim to independence and to freedom from outside influence. I am not one of those who shy away from protesting injustice and oppression, arguing that they are expected in a military regime. The military do not act alone. They are supported by a gaggle of politicians, lawyers, academics and businessmen, all of them hiding under the claim that they are only doing their duty, men and women too afraid to wash their pants of urine.

We all stand on trial, my lord, for by our actions we have denigrated our country and jeopardized the future of our children. As we subscribe to the sub-normal and accept double standards, as we lie and cheat openly, as we protect injustice and oppression, we empty our classrooms, denigrate our hospitals, fill our stomachs with hunger and elect to make ourselves the slaves of those who ascribe to higher standards, pursue the truth, and honor justice, freedom, and hard work. I predict that the scene here will be played and replayed by generations yet unborn.

Some have already cast themselves in the role of villains, some are tragic victims, some still have a chance to redeem themselves. The choice is for each individual.

I predict that the denouement of the riddle of the Niger delta will soon come. The agenda is being set at this trial. Whether the peaceful ways I have favored will prevail depends on what the oppressor decides, what signals it sends out to the waiting public.

In my innocence of the false charges I face here, in my utter conviction, I call upon the Ogoni people, the peoples of the Niger delta, and the oppressed ethnic minorities of Nigeria to stand up now and fight fearlessly and peacefully for their rights. History is on their side. God is on their side. For the Holy Quran says in Sura 42, verse 41: “All those that fight when oppressed incur no guilt, but Allah shall punish the oppressor.”

Come the day.
