Firstly, How clueless he was, then how he managed to divide Nigerians along religious and ethnic lines, to me thats one of his greatest achievement no other president in Nigeria history have successfully done that before. Kudos.

Two days ago, as I read the news that the Lagos State Commissioner of Health, Jide Idris, announced that Lagos State, then, had eight suspected cases of Ebola, my heart was filled with sadness. I felt profoundly depressed not just because the dreaded Ebola Virus Disease had found its way into my dear country; but singularly because this invasion would have been prevented if the appropriate health authorities were proactive enough, as is required in such a regional epidemic. After a deep thought, I could not help but become troubled by the plausible reality that Nigeria might just be paying for the ingrained culture of impunity found in all aspects of the polity.

If it were in a country where public officers are held responsible for their mistakes while serving the people, the Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, would now have either resigned or be explaining to Nigerians why he did not take effective measures to prevent the incursion of virus into our shores. The reason is simple. Knowing that the epidemic broke in West Africa, and that Nigeria is the biggest country in the region with the obvious high rate of border intercourse, the government would have adequately prepared to intercept potential Ebola cases right at the borders, especially at the airports.

In that way, when the first victim, the Liberian national, Patrick Sawyer, was about to enter our borders via the Lagos airport, he would not have been taken into the city because there would be a quarantine facility right there at the airport. But sadly, the government was waiting for us to have an Ebola case before instituting the necessary measures to prevent it at the borders. Talk about medicine after death!

Some people might argue that putting up such quarantine facilities at the airports at a time when the disease had not been reported in our nation was some sort of extreme measure; but we must realise that for a disease that does not have any cure at the moment, there is no measure too strident or act too bizarre to prepare for imponderables.

For instance, Kenya is not a West African country, and so faced a lesser risk of having the disease enter its borders as compared to Nigeria; but the country was already preparing for a possible incursion several months ago. When I travelled to Nairobi, the Kenya capital, in the second week of June, I and another Nigerian on the flight were isolated from other immigrants at the Jomo Kenyatta Airport and given Ebola questionnaires to fill. It was not done because we had symptoms, but simply because we were coming in from a risk zone. The health officer that gave us the document was intently watching us as we filled out the form which sought to know every aspect of our present health status in consonance with the possible symptoms of Ebola. Although we were not quarantined, I was very aware of the intent visual scrutiny from the officer. My fellow Nigerian colleague said, “These people are serious o!”

Yes, they were dead serious, because Ebola is a dead serious epidemic, and no public officer entrusted with the job of safeguarding the health of his or her compatriots should neglect the minutest detail of precaution.

But ours is a country where people in leadership positions are not held answerable for their abdication of duty, or failure to act in the expected manner. Surely, it is not hard for one to realise that it is impunity that breeds corruption. When one public officer sees that another corrupt officer goes scot-free after committing an offence, that public officer is emboldened to commit even more crimes. In that way, the system gets worse by the day because leaders who are supposed to be custodians of our national patrimony keep allowing it to disintegrate without any form of accountability.

Last week Thursday’s The PUNCH’s editorial was poignant in stating that our government failed in addressing the Ebola epidemic. It said in part, “But we saw it coming. In our April 17, 2014 editorial, we rightly warned, ‘There is the need for the presence of medical experts at seaports and airports to control the influx of people into the country, especially people from countries where the (Ebola) infection has been reported.’ Unfortunately, as this case showed, our health authorities failed to make a good contingency plan and effective surveillance at entry points…. The death of the Liberian-American has suddenly sparked a series of containment activities in Nigeria. But given the proven dictum in medical practice that prevention is better than cure, some of these actions should have been taken before now.”

I am very convinced that the Minister of Health would have speedily done the needful as advised by The PUNCH and other commentators like my humble self (writing on the same April 17 with the title, ‘Climate Change, Ebola and Lassa fever’) if our country is not prostrate with that cancerous disease: IMPUNITY. Of course, the health minister would not be afraid of any repercussions should he neglect his duties. He would never for one night lose sleep for fear of what would happen to his career if he did not think far and act fast. No, he would not; because no other minister had ever been punished for such a dereliction of duty. Need proof? Ask the Minister of Interior, Abba Moro, after unemployed youths were trampled to their deaths as a result of official carelessness right under his watch.

But it is not so in saner climes. Earlier in the year, when a ferry disaster killed more than 200 people in South Korea, the country’s Prime Minister promptly resigned in apology for the government’s handling of the accident. In his resignation speech, the sober-looking public servant, said, “As I saw grieving families suffering with the pain of losing their loved ones and the sadness and resentment of the public, I thought I should take all responsibility as prime minister. There have been so many varieties of irregularities that have continued in every corner of our society and practices that have gone wrong. I hope these deep-rooted evils get corrected this time and this kind of accident never happens again.”

In Nigeria today, we must face the truth that many things have gone wrong in our socio-political system, and only our facing reality and making conscious efforts to make amends for a better tomorrow are what matter at the moment. Ebola will come and go, of course, and Nigeria will survive. But we must always remember that any individual leader’s mistake will surely become our collective nightmare, because according to that cheeky – but eternally true – saying “Payback’s a bitch!”

Kunle thanks for yesterday, you a perfect gentle man...nice doing business with you dude.

Governorship candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore and Alhaji Fatai Akinbade respectively on Saturday shunned a radio debate organised for them and Governor Rauf Aregbesola. The debate which was organised by a United States of America-based International Republican Institute was billed to be broadcast live on Osun State Broadcasting Corporation Osogbo on Saturday.

Aregbesola, who was said to have gone to Mecca for the lesser hajj was said to have cut short his trip and returned to honour the debate but his co-debaters failed to show up. The Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy of the All Progressives Congress in the state, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, in a statement said Omisore ran away from the debate. The statement read, “ The PDP’s gubernatorial candidate in the August 9 election in Osun, Iyiola Omisore, squandered a golden opportunity to confront the incumbent governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, in a public radio debate when he ran away from participating.

“The debate was sponsored by the American-based International Republican Institute and put together by the Osun State Broadcasting Corporation for a live transmission in Osogbo. Saturday. “Osun citizens had waited with bated breath to hear Omisore articulate his accusations against the governor on such issues as the debt profile of the state, the school reform programme and the vexed issue of capital flight. “But it turned out to be almost an interview and not a debate because Omisore ran away. “However, Aregbesola advanced his arguments virtually without challenge that the best thing to have happened in Osun since it was created are his programmes which the PDP wants to destroy.”

Omisore had earlier said that he was ready for a debate with Aregbesola but he expressed the fear that the governor might physically assault him. The media aide of the LP candidate, Mr. Kayode Oladeji, when contacted said that his principal did not shun the debate because he sent his running mate to represent him at the debate. Oladeji said the LP candidate had a very urgent and equally important assignment he was attending to hence the decision to send his running mate. He said, “Alhaji Akinbade still sent his running mate, Mr. Michael Adenipekun,to go and represent him. “He got there but they said that they would not accept any representative so, it is not right to say Akinbade shunned the debate, you cannot divorce the office of the governor from the deputy cause they are running on a joint ticket.”

Omisore had earlier said he was ready for a debate with Aregbesola but he expressed the fear that the governor might physically assault him. Omisore said, “How can I be afraid of engaging him in a debate? But when argument is being drawn between two unequal parties, the weaker of the two may result to physical assault and harassment. We don’t want this to happen. “Aregbesola has not hidden the fact that he has personal hatred for me and people tell me all sorts of lies he fabricates to disparage me. You don’t expect more than that from a barely literate politician like him.

You remember that Aregbesola presented O’level to INEC. So we need an assurance that Ogbeni will not resort to physical assault if he is confronted with hard facts with evidence. “ Once we are assured that decorum would be allowed and that our safety is guaranteed, I am ready for the debate.”
