At one time Nigerian citizens under the Watch of Major General Muhammadu Buhari were told that Boko Haram terrorists had been technically defeated and at another time that they had been totally defeated!
Of recent Defence Headquarters through their spokesperson have claimed that terrorists were surrendering their arms ammunitions including their families to the Federal troops in their thousands.
However it is no longer secret that the terrorists were firmly on ground in several Local Government Areas of Borno, Yobe, Taraba etc, harrasing innocent citizens who are forced into allegiance to their authority and pay regular TAXES!

The last eight years of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Administration have been very scary, disastrous and calamitous due to unbridled insecurity across all geo-political zones and from all calculations without exaggeration more citizens have been killed in this 8 years than in the 16 years from 1999 to 2015!

BUHARI’S PROGRAMME OF DE-RADICALIZATION OF “REPENTANT” TERRORISTS!

Retired major general Muhammadu Buhari pursued a policy of de-radicalisation, rehabilitation and reintegration of Boko Haram Terrorists who claimed to have repented from all acts of terrorism, destruction of lives and properties and also surrendered arms and ammunitions in their possession.

BUT HAS THIS POLICY SUCCEEDED?

We have it on good authority that within months of de-radicalisation and integration into the various societies many of these pretentious combatants returned to the forest with classified information to futher attack, degrade, deplete, and decimate government’s highly guarded security hardwares at military installations!
And in spite of superior arguments by highly-experienced security experts against Buhari's policy the program still continues unabated.

In March 2022 over 500 ex-Boko Haram terrorists were released from the De-radicalisation, Rehabilitation and Re-integration Camp in Gombe State, at an official ceremony in which the forgiven enemies of the State of Nigeria were all dressed in uniformed outfits of the Nigerian Flag of white khaftans and green/white face caps to match!
In a speech delivered on his behalf the Chief of Defence Staff Major General Lucky Irabor admonished the ex-militants to exhibit high sense of responsibility through obedience to lay down rules and regulations and also by applying vocational skills acquired during their rehabilitation which included tailoring, shoe making, cap making, carpentry, laundry etc into good use as they began to enjoy freedom in the democratic dispensation.

According to Military Sources, not less than 8,000 Boko Haram terrorist including some foreigners from Niger, Cameroon and Chad had gone through the de-radicalisation program and more are still surrendering to the federal troops!

BUT A NEW GENERATION OF TERRORISTS ARE GROOMING ON NIGERIAN STREETS!

According to global data of UNESCO, 20 million out-of-school children between age 6-18, are roaming the Nigerian Street from East to West, North to South due to the absence of formal education.
For the past thirteen years and still counting, Boko Haram Terrorists sought to establish an ISLAMIC STATE in order to denounce WESTERN EDUCATION and have not relented in pursuing their evil agenda through several attacks on educational institutions, killings and kidnappings of innocent school children!
UNICEF Report also claimed that between the year 2020 and 2022 not less than 1,400 school children in Nigeria were kidnapped by these terrorists!

Does it not tantamount to policy somersault because on the one hand BUHARI’S GOVERNMENT is de-radicalising illiterate repentant terrorists while on the other, HE IS BREEDING 20 MILLION MORE ON THE STREETS!

And whereas so-called DE-RADICALIZED TERRORISTS still facilitate the kidnap of school children who are conscripted as child soldiers and sex slaves!

APC’S PROPAGANDA SUPPORTS EDUCATION FROM THE PRIMARY TO THE TERTIARY BUT IN REALITY THE SAME GOVERNMENT IS NOT FUNDING EDUCATION AT ANY LEVEL BUT ILLITERACY!
And whereas United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), recommended that at least 26% of the annual budgets of Developing Nations should be devoted to Education!
The highest allocation to education in Nigeria since INDEPENDENCE in 1960, has been a paltry 6%!

It should not be surprising because from Mr. President to the lowest Councillor at the Local Government Areas, most politicians only possess PRIMARY SCHOOL and forged SECONDARY SCHOOL CERTIFICATES to rule over the LITERATES who are 62.02 % of the 200 million population!
The PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM IN NIGERIA HAS FAILED! All the YOUTHS now roaming the streets of Nigeria including the recent crop of so-called politicians should embrace a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION BILL THROUGH CONVOCATION OF A REFERENDUM AND VOTE FOR A PRIME MINISTER IN 2023!

Apart from the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), separatist groups on the Eastern flank of Nigeria, there are over 30 rival groups in the region that have escalated insurgency, brutal killings and a decapitation of innocent citizens, violent attacks on law-enforcement agents and destruction of government strategic infrastructures according to Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe (Abia South/PDP)!

But to Kanu's discredit, Nigerians at home and the Diaspora hold him responsible for every heinous crime that have been committed in that Region from 2012 to date!
Nnamdi Kanu who holds dual citizenship of both Nigeria and Britain was arrested on charges of treasonable felony in 2015 and while his trial was ongoing, jumped bail late 2017, was re-arrested in June 2021 in Kenya, but in spite of his physical absence from Nigeria, his strict orders to disrupt weekly economic activities of Eastern Nigeria on Mondays and Tuesdays, subsisted!

IPOB severally denied its involvement in the seat-at-home order and advised traders to continue their legitimate businesses without fear, let or hindrance. However, those who hearkened to IPOB did not live to tell their stories!

Everyone caught on those forbidden days on the highways, in open stores or even in farms were beheaded, decapitated or gruesomely murdered to serve as deterrent to those who would dare defile the draconian order!
Nnamdi Kanu cannot be exonerated from the persistent insecurity of lives and property in the Eastern Region because he fanned the embers of secession from Nigeria in the first instance by claiming that a BIAFRA still existed even when the 30-month- old Civil war scars were still visible in Nigeria!

APPEAL COURT’S JUDGEMENT ON KANU’S FORCEFUL EXTRADITION TO NIGERIA!

On Thursday 13th October, 2022, the Appeal Court in Abuja discharged Kanu on charges of terrorism preferred against him by the Federal Government.
The Court also declared as unlawful his abduction from Kenya and forceful rendition to Nigeria as a breach against all local and international laws and thereby “making the terrorism charge against him incompetent and unlawful”!
The lead judgement declared as illegal and unlawful Kanu's abduction from Kenya to Nigeria and subsequently quashed the remaining seven counts in the 15-count-charge filed before the Federal High Court by the Federal Government!
Basing its it’s judgement on the breach of Kanu’s fundamental rights, the panel of three judges confirmed that a clear violation by the Federal Government of International Treaties, Conventions as well as the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights was established and therefore lost the legal right to “put him on trial”!

WAS KANU DISCHARGED AND ACQUITTED OF ALL CHARGES OF TERRORISM?
YES & NO!

YES:
1) The Appeal Court noted that the issue of jurisdiction raised by the appellant in the first instance was critical to the case and should have been resolved at the lower Court.
2) The trial court which should have pronounced properly on all issues presented before it decided to turn a blind eye.
3) The trial Court ought to have made findings on the issue raised regarding the extradition.
4) The three man panel also believed that the trial Court lacked the JURISDICTION to try appellant on the retained counts of the charges adding that no court can try him going by the circumstances of the extraordinary rendition.
5) Finally the court resolved the issue in favour of Kanu which dealt with JURISDICTION.
6) The appeal succeeded the order of Lower Court Justice which ordered appellant to answer to count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 15. It was set aside, terminated and dismissed!
7) And appellant was accordingly discharged?

AND NO:
1) The entire trial at the Appeal Court centred on the improper extradition of Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria which the learned judges believed violated International Conventions, Treaties and Laws.
2) The initial thrust of the prosecution to hunt down a fugitive who jumped bail during his trial in respect of treasonable felony and terrorism against his country Nigeria was unattended!
3) The learned judges did not take into consideration that as a Sovereign State, Kenyan Government was aware of International Laws but its Security Agencies cooperated with the Nigerian operatives to track down the fugitive to bring him down to Nigeria for justice.
4) Going by the decision of the Appeal Court, it is conclusive that Federal Government operatives did not violate any known law otherwise Kenya authorities would have resisted Kanu's arrest and extradition!
5)We can respectfully conclude that the learned judges were conscious of the above facts and were very careful not to ACQUIT the appellant!

WILL THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PURSUE NNAMDI KANU'S CASE TO THE SUPREME COURT?

The spokesman of the National Security Council (NSC), meeting held at the weekend Friday 14th October 2022, Minister of Police Affairs said that the Federal Government was considering the appropriate action to be taken on the release of Nnamdi Kanu leader of the indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The National Security Council meeting was summoned following the Appeal Court judgement which discharged Nnamdi Kanu. Government believes that Nnamdi Kanu was discharged but not acquitted and will take appropriate and necessary actions in the coming days as it deems fit.
He also said that the Federal Government would explore other legal instruments to pursue the matter.
On his part the Minister of Justice and attorney General of the Federation also said that Kanu’s release was not equivalent to an acquittal. At the National Security Council meeting chaired by Major General Muhammadu Buhari at the Aso Rock State House was also attended by the Vice President, Minister of Interior and Service Chiefs.

OHANEZE N’DIGBO PLEADS KANU’S FREEDOM THROUGH POLITICAL SOLUTION!

Igbo leaders and several other well-meaning Nigerians are pleading with the Federal Government to tender Justice with mercy in respect of Nnamdi Kanu who instill kept in custody pending an official move to finalize his trial which began since 2017. However we believe that his lawyers are not helping matters.
They are insisting that their client had been DISCHARGED and ACQUITED and should therefore be released immediately without delay.
Although the Nigerian 1999 Constitution, states that a suspect is presumed innocent until he's proven guilty; therefore in the face of the law Nnamdi kanu is still innocent.

BUT we will not advise that the government should pursue the matter any further for the following reasons:
1) The security situation in Eastern Nigeria is appalling and could be likened to the Boko Haram atrocities in the Northern States with a spillover to other geopolitical zones of the country: therefore consideration should be given to his releasen without much ado in other to douse the tension and uncertainty of peace in the region.
2) The Civil war should not be allowed to be repeated in Nigeria because it is a bad dream. South east Nigeria citizens are passionate business people and they have been contributing to the economy immensely and positively through IGR growth of the 36 States including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

There’s virtually no hamlet, village or city Igbo business people are not found all over Nigeria. By nature Igbo people are friendly and very accommodating but the re-enactment of the unpleasant story of the Civil war (July 1967-January 1970) IS IN BAD TASTE! Nnamdi Kanu’s urge for FRESH SECESSION is trying to change the narrative!
KANU SHOULD BE MADE TO RENOUNCE SECESSION THROUGH THE INSTRUMENT OF LAW AND BE SET FREE TO GO HOME AND SIN NO MORE!

In the 21st Century United States of Nigeria there is “No Victor No Vanquished! In Unity we shall remain upstanding! All N’DIGBO should embrace the call for REFERENDUM to convoke a brand new UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION that will produce a PRIME MINISTER for Nigeria in the year 2023!
Consecutive PRESIDENCY (1999-2022), of the MONEY BAGS have woefully failed! A stitch in time saves nine. IGBO KWENU!

[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]



I am, yours sincerely, Dr. David B.A. Olufon, 08130669886, 08080243066. g-mail-dvdolufon@gmail.

The highest, outrageous and colossal 2023 Appropriation Bill of NGN20.51 trillion dropped by the out-going Major General Muhammadu Buhari before a joint company of National Assembly Legislators on Friday 7th October, 2022, is a CASTRATED ORPHAN!
It has neither father, mother nor relatives because all its ancestors between 1999-2022 were consumed by ceaseless swarm of human fiscal predators which left behind a totally empty treasury as testament!

CORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEX!

The annual Transparency International (TI), Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), in which Nigeria was always ranked very low among world countries was always denied by the leadership of the military presidential government in Nigeria.
*For instance Nigeria scored between 26-27 points out of 100 on the 1996-2019 Corruption Perceptions Index as reported by TI while the ratings were between 144 and 146 out of 180 countries!

*In 2020 Nigeria scored 25 points which was less the 26 of the previous year and ranked 149th position out of 180 countries. The 2020 CPI had revealed that even the top 25 countries had their share of corruption challenges and the covid-19 pandemic year had again shown that no country was immune from corruption but data showed that those top countries tackled corruption effectively.
*Nigeria shamelessly told the world in May 2022, that 91% of Nigeria's crude oil (the major foreign exchange earner product), was stolen by unknown people who will be investigated and brought to Justice.
* According to news media reports in the first quarter January - March 2022, statistics presented at a meeting in Abuja between the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), All Producers Trade Section and Independent Petroleum Producers Group (IPPG), revealed that USD$3.2 billion dollars or ₦1.36 trillion naira worth of crude oil was stolen from Nigeria between January 2021 and February 2022!
*Nigeria's four refineries, two in Port Harcourt and one each in Kaduna and Warri with a combined capacity of producing 45,000 barrels of crude oil per day have been moribund since the ascension as President Major General Muhammadu Buhari who is the substantive Minister of Petroleum Resources.
*Yet the government workers of the FOUR redundant REFINERIES were retained and were paid monthly salaries for indolence!
* The illegal Federal Executive Council weekly gathering always presided over by Mr. President Major General Muhammadu Buhari, in May 2022, yet approved another USD$1.5 billion dollars for another round of refurbishing the 32 year-old Port Harcourt refinery!

*An NNPC audit report in 2020 revealed that three of the four refineries recorded ₦1.64 trillion naira cumulative losses between 2014 and 2018. It further stated that the combined losses from the Port Harcourt Refinery and Kaduna Refinery were ₦208.6 billion naira in 2014; ₦252.8 billion naira in 2015; 290.6 billion naira in 2016; ₦412 billion naira 2017 and ₦475 billion in 2018!
*NNPC exports Nigerian crude oil overseas for refining at great losses to the Nigerian government which has been deceiving the poor masses in respect of PHANTOM OIL SUBSIDIES which have amounted into trillions of Naira annually but with no visible dividends for the Citizens other than increased hardship to procure the divinely-endowed natural resource through corruption-induced/persistent artificial scarcity!

*Early September 2022, NNPCL disclosed that it lost 470,000 barrels of crude oil per day which amounted to USD$700 million monthly in addition to security challenges that hinder oil production in some terminals and claimed that crude oil theft had taken severe toll on its performance!
*Between 2015-2020, USD$ 5.5 billion dollars was spent on subsidy; in 2021 alone it went up to USD$3.8 billion dollars and USD$ 6.2 billion dollars in just the first quarter of 2022.
*The huge subsidy payments would account for more than half of the ₦11 trillion naira budget deficit which the Federal Government projected for 2023.
*In 2021 all the 36 States spent the equivalent of USD$ 9 .8 billion US dollars nearly half of what the entire country would spend in 2022 to cover the petrol subsidy payments.
*Federal Government recently put the current DAILY EXPENSES on maintaining the petrol subsidy at ₦18.4 billion for 2022!

WILL NIGERIA SEEK RELIEF FROM THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND?

Nigeria very notorious for borrowing and so it will be very difficult if not impossible for the country under the Watch of President Major General Muhammadu Buhari the ubiquitous borrower from World Bank, Japan, Britain, the United States etc, to approach any other country of the world due to extreme shame – having been classified as the most corrupt country in the entire UNIVERSE!
However the Director-General of the Budget Office of the Federation in an interview had said that Nigeria might seek relief from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), if it was unable to address it fiscal challenges!
His words: “Essentially, there are two ways countries end up with the IMF. One is voluntary when they ask IMF for help or when things get to the grind, where they simply have no other option.
“I don't see Nigeria going to the IMF voluntarily. It’s a hot issue here in Nigeria. But the honest truth is that if we don't address our fiscal challenges in a sensible and sustainable manner we may end up unwillingly with IMF.”
His solution: Nigeria should stop to fund REGRESSIVE DEFICITS; but be EFFICIENT IN SPENDING!

2023 CASTRATED ORPHAN BUDGET!

Parameters for execution of the 2023 budget as follows: $70 per barrel oil benchmark daily oil production estimates of 1.69 million barrels inclusive of condensates of between 300,000 to 400,000 barrels per day and an exchange rate of ₦435.57 Naira $1 per 1 US dollar.
Statutory transfers: ₦ 744 .11 billion; non-debt recurrent costs, ₦8.27 trillion; personnel costs, ₦4.99 trillion; pensions, gratuities and retirees benefits, ₦854.8 billion; overheads ₦1.11 trillion; capital expenditure, ₦5.35 trillion, including the capital component of statutory transfers; debt-service ₦6.31 trillion; and sinking fund of ₦247.73 billion to retire certain maturing bonds.


EXPENDITURE PROGRESSION!

In his presentation of the ₦20.51 trillion budget the President said and we quote: “We expect total fiscal operations all the Federal Government to result in a deficit of ₦10.78 trillion in naira. This represent 4.78% of the estimated GDP, above the 3% threshold set by the physical responsibility Act 2007.
“As envisaged by the law we need to exceed the threshold considering the need to continue to tackle the existential security challenges facing the country.
“We plan to finance the deficit mainly by new borrowings totalling ₦8.80 trillion: ₦206.18 billion naira from privatisation proceeds and ₦1.77 trillion naira draw-downs on bilateral/ multilateral loans secured for specific development projects/ programs”

IS THE WORLD HEADING FOR RECESSION IN 2023?

The world will not go into recession but Nigeria may - if serious and urgent steps were not taken to stop the vultures that are now gathered to feast on whatsoever remains of the castrated orphan document called the 2023 Appropriation Bill!
World Bank in June decided to cut its estimate for global growth to 2.9% from April's 3.2% forecast. Some reasons adduced included soaring energy and food prices amid global inflation.
Others were disruptions in grains supply due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, lockdowns in China and the drive by Central Banks to increase INTEREST RATES – according to Bloomberg!

BUHARI WARNS NATIONAL ASSEMBLY LEGISLATORS TO DESIST FROM PADDING THE ORPHAN BUDGET PROPOSAL!

Budget padding, re-writing, re-packaging, re-inventing etc, under the guise of OVERSIGHTS, from 1999 to date had been a pastime of Nigerian legislators especially at the federal level
They have all become billionaires through this dastard/abominable act and are working the streets free. Law enforcement agents had never thought it wise to ever arrest any of them for malfeasance and malpractice which is detrimental to any developing economy.
There is a Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin who told the whole world how the House of Representatives padded and collected billions of Naira during budget oversight in 2016.

He gave detailed analysis of how the money was shared and stated the amount he collected but to date neither the EFCC, ICPC, DSS NOR THE NIGERIAN POLICE SECURITY OPERATIVES had interrogated, investigated nor prosecuted him or his accomplices to ensure justice!
But the poor masses continue to suffer in abject poverty under the Watch of Mr Integrity Muhammadu Buhari who would soon pack his bag and baggage for Daura!

Must we go on like this as a DEMOCRATIC INDEPENDENT NATION? Patriotic Nigerians must arise, demand for a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION, to take back their country from these vultures who are never tired of feasting on every annual budget!
Nigeria needs credible leaders (A PRIME MINISTER AND A RETINUE OF PARLIAMENTARIANS), at the helm of affairs at this time of our history more than ever.
“Those who sow the wind will surely reap the WHIRLWIND! Whatever a man soweth that he shall reap!”

[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]

A coup d’état took place in Burkina Faso on 30th September 2022, removing the interim President Lt.Colonel Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba who was only eight months in office over his inability to deal with an Islamist insurgency!

But on 1st October, 2022, retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari, who in eight years had been unable to dislodge Boko Haram Islamic terrorists from Nigeria, gave glowing tributes of his administration’s security achievements in a broadcast to mark his country’s 62nd Independence Anniversary Celebration.

A new self- acclaimed leader, one Captain Ibrahim Traore who has now taken over as Interim Head of Burkina Faso has accused domicile French Troops in Ouagadougou (the State Capital), of complicity in the disappearance of Damiba now believed to be planning a counter offensive.

Although France (Burkina Faso Colonial Master) has denied any involvement, protesters were reported to have started some fire outside the French Embassy on the day of the coup!

In January 2022 Lt.Col. Damiba ousted President Kabore claiming that he had failed to deal with growing militant Islamic violence.

The Islamic insurgency debuted in Burkina Faso since 2015 and has forced over two million people out of their homes as refugees while thousands have been declared dead!

Like Nigeria, Burkina Faso has experienced several successful military coups since independence in 1960.

WHY WAS THERE NO MILITARY COUP IN NIGERIA ON 1ST OCTOBER, 2022?

The answer to this question is very simple. It would have been a very cheap exit for Buhari who had said to all and sundry that he was already tired and ready to go to his hometown Daura, Katsina to Roost!

For Ahmed Tinubu, who is at war in respect of his candidacy which was alleged to have been purchased with billions of naira, the false certificate saga and also the issue of his illicit wealth including the alleged brush with narcotic drugs while domicile in the United States!

Tinubu is over-burdened so much to ensure any victory in 2023 just as he was unsure of his candidacy which was allegedly bought with money and which a former All Progressives (APC), a former Minister of State for Education is now challenging at the courts!

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar who is leading the pack of PDP candidates for next year’s elections is also battling with personality identity and is agitated because WE have prophesied that he should just forget everything about Nigeria's presidency even before the 2019 elections!
He is very uncertain and agitated although he has invested so much funds into the process as a gamble even though tongues are wagging concerning the root of his humongous wealth in spite of the “Triumvirate Books” that were launched on 28th September 2022 to boost his ego!

It is important that these set of people be made to face God's judgement which is closer than anybody thinks. All of them i.e., all the politicians in Nigeria knew the solution to the Boko Haram Islamic terrorism which has been with the country for over 13 years is an all-inclusive UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT TO BE HEADED BY A PRIME MINISTER and also the solution to Nigeria’s INSECURITY CHALLENGES; BUT they would rather opt for illicit LUCRE of office and Cared Less whether the whole population of Nigeria's poor citizens perished or survived!

Military coup de tat – even GHANA'S JERRY RAWLINGS type would have been too cheap for people like Buhari, Tinubu and Atiku and the rest of the presidential aspirants including other politicians who have been recycling themselves in Nigeria since 1960;

BECAUSE:
To be chased out by barrels of the gun when they needed to be charged by their creator who will ask them to give account of their stewardship, would tantamount to killing an ANT WITH A SLEDGE HAMMER!

The MILITARY has claimed that they were always invited by aggrieved POLITICIANS to stage coups to keep themselves in POWER!
NIGERIAN PRESIDENT BUHARI'S QUESTION AND ANSWER BLOOMBERG NEWS: TRANSCRIPT. JUNE 21 2022 IN LATEST NEWS STATEHOUSE GOV.NG/NEWS

Q1. You campaigned for office with a pledge to fight corruption secure the country and fix the economy how will you rate your performance in fulfilling those pledges during your eight years in office? Why has insecurity been so hard to tackle? Are you making headway?
A: We leave Nigeria in a far better place than we found it. Corruption is less hidden for Nigerians feel empowered to report it without fear, while money is returned, terrorist no longer hold any territory in Nigeria, and their leaders are ////deseased; and vast infrastructure development sets the country on course for sustainable and equitable growth.

Security.
In 2015 boko Haram held territory the size of Belgium within the borders of Nigeria. Today they are close to extinct as a military Force. The leader of ISWAP was eliminated by a Nigerian air Force airstrike in March.
The jets acquired from the US and intelligence shared by British were not provided to previous administrations and stand as testament to renewed trust rebuilt between Nigeria and our traditional Western allies under my government.

We urge those same international partners to take additional steps costing them nothing by prescribing another group IPOB as a terrorist organisation. Their leadership enjoys safe haven in the West, broadcasting hate speech into Nigeria from London. spending millions lobbying members of the US Congress, and are freely using international financial networks to arm agitators on the ground. This must stop.

Economy.
We have spent are two terms investing heavily in national road, rail and transport infrastructure set to unleash growth, connect communities and lessen inequality.
This is structural transformation, it may not show on standard economic metrics in now, but results will be apparent in good time.

Corruption.
Starting with a whistleblowing policy enacted in my first year in office hundreds of millions in stolen funds have been returned within Nigeria.
Working with our international partners hundreds of millions of various currencies have been returned from abroad - primarily from the UK, US and Switzerland and used as social and welfare funds distributed directly to the poorest during the Covid 19 pandemic and the provision of long-delayed infrastructure – roads, bridges, rail and power.

WE WILL PUBLISH BUHARI’S ANSWERS TO OTHERS QUESTIONS FURTHER ON CORRUPTION, FOOD INFLATION, BORROWINGS, IMF, WORLD, FOREIGN RESERVES, DEBT SERVICING/REPAYMENT ETC, IN OUR SUBSEQUENT EDITIONS FOR NIGERIANS TO SEPARATE THE CHAFF FROM THE GRAINS!
APC and Buhari's LIES have a terminal date!

In the 62 years of Nigeria's independence BUHARI’S government had deceived and lied so terribly to hurt the Citizens psyche and sensibilities. I

It's a shame that a government of eight years could descend so low as to falsify figures, concoct and distort all economic indices with brazen impunity and still claim DISTINCTION!

This ATTITUDE can be aptly described as a most damnable aberration to TRUTH!

President Buhari’s Government has been the worst in recent times but God will judge them all! None of them will escape HIS PUNISHMENT!

“Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to all people.” (Proverbs. 14:34.)

Like other social amenities of the Nigerian economy, ELECTRICITY is an evasive luxury not designed as democratic dividend for the poor masses!

In March 2019, shortly after his victory at General Elections, President Buhari in exasperation blamed past administrations for his failure to fix the energy sector in his first term because Nigerians paid for darkness instead of light because of services not rendered by his administration.
It is no longer debatable that the power sector had become a total failure in spite of Buhari’s manifesto promises to fix it.

And he said that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), should be held responsible for persistent darkness being experienced on daily basis by the citizens!

He disclosed that PDP claimed to have spent USD$ 16 billion dollars in the power sector between 1999-2015 but there was no power to show to Nigerians!

“There are no roads, no rail, no power but where is the power,” he queried?
He promised to deliver on his three-prong manifesto to ensure security, boost the economy and the fight against corruption!”

CONSTANT NATIONAL GRID COLLAPSE!

National grid collapse has become a monthly occurrence in Nigeria electricity sector. In the year 2020 alone National grid had collapsed nine times! (A grid is a system of special wires that take electricity from power stations (i.e., places where electricity is made), to all parts of a country.
The transmission system in Nigeria comprises of 330kv and 132kv circuits and sub-stations.
Thermal generation is located in the south of the country generally near the sources of gas while the Hydro generation is located further North at Jebba, Kainji and Shiroro.

The country has 23 power generating plants connected to the National grid with the capacity to generate 11,165 .4 MW of electricity.

IN SPITE OF THE HUE AND CRY BY THE PRESIDENT, HE MADE NO MENTION OF THE ENDEMIC CORRUPTION IN THE ENERGY SECTOR DURING HIS 2022 INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY SPEECH!

President Buhari claimed that he had made significant progress in the eradication of deeply rooted corruption in all areas of national development.
He claimed to be seeking international support for the repatriation of illicit monies which had been corruptly taken out of the country and added that the increasing number of prosecutions and convictions by law enforcement agencies including the refunds of large sums of money from such interventions are still ongoing.

But he did not mention any probe in respect of the USD$ 16 billion US dollars that was completely scammed during the 16 years of PDP administration!

QUESTIONS:
1) HOW MUCH HAS BUHARI ADMINISTRATION SPENT ON THE ENERGY/POWER SECTOR WITHIN THE LAST 8 YEARS?
2) WHAT PROGRESS HAS HIS ADMINISTRATION MADE CONCERNING REGULAR SUPPLY OF ELECTRICITY TO POWER MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCTION SECTORS THROUGHOUT HIS EIGHT YEARS OF TWO TERMS?

In the month of June 2022, BLOOMBERG NEWS posed the following question to President Buhari:
Bloomberg: Nigeria continues to confront electricity shortages and your government has faced calls to modernize the grid or make the sector economical four stakeholders up and down the chain. Do you think you have done enough to address the nation's energy shortfall? What else needs to be done?
Buhari:

“On grid modernization, there are hundreds of ongoing projects and initiatives attracting funding from investors. Take my Presidential Power Initiative (PPI), a government-to-government initiative between the Governments of Nigeria and Germany which Siemens AG, to upgrade the electricity grid with a USD$ 2billion dollars investment.
“Once signed into law the Constitutional Amendment Bill - recently voted through Parliament- will allow state governments to generate and transmit their own electricity further facilitating investor participation in our market and enabling States and local businesses to transmit excess supply to the grid.”

“We are also decentralizing the National grid through renewable driven mini-grids. The USD$ 550 million dollars Nigeria Electrification Project has deployed more than 20,000 Stand-alone Solar Systems (SHS), as well as Solar Hybrid mini-grids in over 250 locations.”

All of the above statements by the old General are mere rhetoric’s! As usual, he has paid lip service to the POWER SECTOR - just as he has done to SECURITY, INTERNALLY GENERATED REVENUES, AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION, MANUFACTURING, EDUCATION, HEALTH FACILITIES etc.!
The Presidential System in Nigeria is a SHAM run by LYING AND SHAMELESS LEADERS!
This is the time for all Nigerians to rise in unison and demand for a PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT which will faithfully cater for the needs of all Nigerians irrespective of tribe, class, caste etc, and produce a PRIME MINISTER IN 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS!
WHERE IS THE POWER BUHARI?


I am, yours sincerely, Dr. David B.A. Olufon, 08130669886, 08080243066. G-mail-dvdolufon@gmail.

NIGERIA'S DEBT REPAYMENT MUST BEGIN WITH THE EIGHT-YEAR ACCUMULATED ESTACODES OF BUHARI AND HIS CABINET!

It had become a permanent culture of civil servants in all former British Colonies all over the world - Nigeria not excluded - to always collect foreign tour allowances known as ESTACODES which they cleverly accumulate in secret accounts in anticipation of comfort in retirement!

The out-going President, retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari never missed any opportunity to travel out of Nigeria under the guise of official duties which he could normally delegate his Vice President or ministers to attend BUT foreign journeys attract the estacode (always paid in foreign currencies – mostly US Dollars), “legitimate” official allowances that could not be alluded as corruption)?

The President and his Vice also enjoy 18 jumbo allowances outside of estacodes!
AND THE MILITARY PRESIDENT ALWAYS TRAVELED WITH AN ENTOURAGE OF OFFICIALS NOT LESS THAN 30 TO 40 AT ANY GIVEN FOREIGN JOURNEY!

Estacode, a nomenclature for monetary travel allowance in Nigeria now turned into a colonial heritage and still in practice among Federal, States civil servants, politicians, diplomatic staff etc on foreign official assignments was legitimate during the colonial era; are they still legitimate now?

Nigeria's debt profile which is far above ₦ 40 trillion naira as at Q3, 2022, accumulated through such frivolous journeys by Buhari his entire official and kitchen cabinets who cared less whether the less privileged lived or died!

Between 2015 and 2021 the retired general traveled outside of the country for 52 times and had expended approximately over ₦4 billion naira in junketing across 30 countries in four continents including Africa! And in 2022, the UNGA 77 trip was his 13th in the budget year in which it is estimated he would spend NGN1.5billion, NGN200 less than the NGN 1.7billion budgeted for his international journeys in 2021.

According the International Centre for Investigative Reporting (ICIR), estacodes released to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), under President Buhari’s watch from 2015 to 2021 stood at over ₦3.77 billion naira!

ICIR CORROBORATED BY CURRENCY OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT OF THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA ( CBN)!

In its annual report released Thursday 4th November 2021 it was stated that a total amount of USD 3.95 billion was procured in 2019 a loan to fund estacode personal travel allowances to MDS and also to fund Bureau de Change operations.

Also there were allegations of gross abuses in the forms of over-bloated, forged, improvised, nonexistent but fake journeys for purpose of fraudulently collecting estacode allowances during foreign travels in both the Public and the Civil Service circles!

To date no public servant or politician has been brought to justice and the racket has continued unabated with impunity!

From all indications the official fraud is enjoying Government approval otherwise Buhari’s Presidency would not have approved a comprehensive review of the Financial Regulations in respect of the various allowances being enjoyed by personnel of MDAs including the estacode!

QUESTIONS:
1) Was the Committee set up by the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF), in November 2021, to consider, review and recommend appropriate Duty Tour, Estacode, Repatriation and Overtime Allowances and also consider, review and recommend appropriate Imprest amount for relevant public servants and political office holders – A RUSE OR A SCAM?
2) What social economic assistance have the poor Nigerian masses benefited from buhari’s foreign trips these past eight years? Instead insecurity is working on his head in all the 774 local government areas of Nigeria and the people are crying to a president who is insensitive to their plight.

BUHARI BEGS FOR FOREIGN DEBT FORGIVENESS FOR NIGERIA AND OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRIES AT UNGA 77!

Major General Muhammadu Buhari attended recent 77th United Nations general assembly in New York and pleaded that unsustainable external debt service suspension as well as outright cancellation should be considered 4 countries facing fiscal and liquidity challenges.
In his words: “Indeed the multi-faceted challenges facing most developed countries have placed a debilitating chokehold on their fiscal space.

“This equally calls for the need to address the burden of unsustainable external debt by a global commitment to the expansion and extension of the Service Suspension Initiative to countries facing fiscal and liquidity challenges as well as outright cancellation for countries facing the most severe challenges.”

Earlier in his speech Major General President Muhammadu Buhari harped on the negative global effects of Covid 19 which constituted a threat that could not be contained within national borders and how States tried to meet and mitigate the challenge.

He also touched on the adverse effects of CLIMATE CHANGE which “fuels conflicts and complicates FOOD SECURITY” and claimed that in 2021 his administration adopted a national climate change strategy which aimed to deliver climate change mitigation in a sustainable manner.

He believed that Africa and other developing Nations produce only a small proportion of greenhouse gas emissions compared to industrial economies yet Africa was hardest hit by the consequences of climate change through sustained droughts in Somalia and floods of unprecedented severity in Pakistan!

The President believed that the rocketing energy cost worldwide were in part the product of conflict and supply disruptions to Europe and the Americas and suggested that the World Body in collaboration with the upcoming COP 27 would help to galvanize the political will required to drive action towards the fulfillment of the various existing climate changing initiatives.

WHEN DOES THE OLD GENERAL EXPECT THE DEBT CANCELLATION OF OVER NGN40 TRILLION NAIRA ACCRUED BY NIGERIA?

The Nigerian President no doubt made a poor presentation of the DEBT CANCELLATION BRIEF at UNGA 77 because he addressed the wrong gathering!
He made a laughing stock of himself and his entourage because even the WORLD BANK, CHINA, THE UNITED STATES Banking Sector etc, were aware of large-scale corruption with official impunity among the three tiers of government in Nigeria and also prodigality with which the politicians who have cornered ANNUAL BUDGETS and spend all proceeds of the crude oil among themselves and their cronies!
Civil Service personnel and the entire Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), happen to be a FORCE to be reckoned with in the looting of the “TREASURY SINGLE ACCOUNT, (TSA) EXCESS CRUDE, SOVEREIGN WEALTH, SERVICE WIDE VOTE ACCOUNTS – all of which at Ground Zero!

Nigerians have been shamelessly told by the Minister for Finance and National Development that monies would be sought to fund the 2023 Budget Estimates of NGN 19.76 trillion in which NO FRESH CAPITAL PROJECT would be entertained!

OUR VERDICT:
President Buhari's bank accounts and those of his official/kitchen cabinets, the Aso Rock Cabal, all members of his close/extended family, Special Advisers and all the All Progressives Congress APC politicians who have brought the Nigerian economy to its knees through massive corruption SHOULD BE FROZEN without delay by the EFCC FOR ALL ESTACODES TO BE RECOVERED with other illicit funds to be put together to begin the process of DEBT SERVICING/REPAYMENT.
He MUST not retire to Daura with those Estacodes while the TALAKAWAS suffering Nigerians masses, die in abject poverty.

For the umpteenth time WE make bold to prophesy to literate, cerebral and well-educated Nigerian Youths that 2023 is the appointed year for one of you to become PRIME MINISTER of Federal Republic of Nigeria!

All those who are parading themselves right now as presidential candidates of the so-called three major parties APC PDP and LABOUR are part and parcel of the whole group which had collectively destroyed the nation’s economy in 62 years of military and civilian occupation!

The offensive nomenclature of “Poverty Capital of the World” is stuck on the nation as LEACH because they have corruptly looted all monies, all mineral resources, all the crude oil accruals and in order to cover their tracks have institutionally created terrorism, banditry and all manner of crimes and criminalities to subject the innocent citizens to a sustained and continuous mental dislocation!

Had the murderous attacks been frequently unleashed on the doorsteps, homes and properties of all those squandrels at the helm of affairs of this country the corresponding purge would have produced very patriotic, righteous, thoroughbred, and god-fearing citizens into governance!


A perusal of the profiles of the 18 political parties candidates gunning for the presidential seat show very clearly that they are the same very corrupt old foxes who are shameless re-packaging their dirty resumes.

APC Presidential candidate Ahmed Tinubu has not been able to defend all the accusations in respect of the alleged illicit wealth that accrued to him over the years and also his involvement in some drug activities while in the United States.

The same goes for PDP Presidential Candidate Atiku Abubakar who has also amassed so much wealth that he can be said to be richer than Nigeria as a nation because he collects daily Port taxes on behalf of the Federal Government through camaraderie with Major General Muhammadu Buhari!

OPEN WINDOW FOR YOUTH GOVERNANCE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL!

Now that a providential open window is available to the youths of this nation, patriotic Nigerians would expect that they will grab the opportunity with both hands BUT in reality most of them are pre-occupied with grabbing CRUMBS from the tables of those corrupt politicians!

THEY have thrown all their credentials and knowledge into the gutters and opted to become special advisers to robbers and criminals in government BUT God will not forgive disobedient Nigerian Youths He Had specifically CHOSEN if they failed to utilise the golden opportunity !

WHAT IS THE PROPHETIC OPEN WINDOW FOR NIGERIAN YOUTHS IN THE COMING ELECTION?

The open window is the PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT which the Youths in unity can make happen now if they close ranks and sponsor (1) The Bill for a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION which can be put together within one MONTH (30 CONSECUTIVE DAYS) by legal luminaries; (2) Present the document before the National Assembly which must go through all stages of reading and passed in ONE DAY! (The 8th National Assembly passed about 26 Bills in one day towards the end of its tenure); (3) Communicate the NEW BILL to Mr. President who MUST APPEND HIS SIGNATURE ON PRESENTATION and (4) The New Constitution be passed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), for the conduct of the 2023 General Elections. (5) All of above MUST be executed with precision from the day of resumption of the NASS from annual vacation on 20th September, 2022.

Retired major General Abdusalam Abubakar produced the1999 Nigerian Constitution within FIVE MONTHS and inspite of its numerous faults has been in use for almost 22 years! The UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION can also be produced in like manner!

The new constitution will provide for REFERENDUM to take care of contentious issues and also provide for INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY.

Majority of very intellectual and cerebral youths in Nigeria today cannot afford to pay NGN100 million as candidacy/nomination fees which was a deliberate obstacle to disenfranchise them from ever becoming Nigeria’s President at anytime until they became very old?

Big and powerful Nations of the world, the United States Great Britain, Germany, China etc, conduct elections regularly without rancour without hues and cries, without muders and assassinations and without crisis because they have great institutions that could neither be corrupted nor compromised from one generation to another!

It was high time for Nigerian Youths to close ranks now and come out as INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES to slug it out with this money bags who are at the point of departure BUT clandestinely bent on destroying what was left of the freaky structure of the economy through continuous borrowing and stealing!

The Nigeria Bureau of Statistics (NBS), released the following statistics in this Third Quarter (Q3) in respect of food inflation which has risen to all high 20.8%, exchange rate which has gone haywire to over NGN 700 naira to USD$1 dollar!
Federal Government shamelessly say that “NNPCL loses USD$700 million monthly to Crude Oil Theft at the rate of 470,000 stolen barrels per day under the watchful eyes of the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mr President himself and nobody is brought to account, nobody is arrested, nobody is prosecuted in court!
It is a free-for-all looting, courtesy of the Cabal in charge of President Buhari’s government!

And this President exhibited a stubborn courage to tell Nigerians during his recent visit to IMO STATE that his government was doing well!
NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS have been home for almost one academic year now because their lecturers were yet to come into amicable agreement in respect of their demands from the Federal Government!
And Electricity Workers are threatening again to shutdown the National grid and put the nation into darkness!
The Internally Displaced Persons (IDP), camps have become some sort of mecca in 13 unbroken years of terrorism as all and sundry flock to collect the regular Federal, States and NGOs donations of foods, clothings, monies etc. while the women get pregnant round the clock!

THE FRAUDULENT PETROLEUM SUBSIDY PAYMENT WAS STILL CAPTURED IN THE APPROVED 2022 BUDGET!

A whooping sum of $6.2 billion has been disbursed as Petroleum Subsidy in the First quarter of the approved 2022 Budget expenses currently undergoing execution by the Executive!
According to the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI), Nigeria had spent NGN13.7 trillion naira the equivalent of USD$374 .386 billion dollars on petrol subsidy payments from 2005 22020!

The disclosure was made before the House of Representatives Ad- hoc Committee investigating the petrol subsidy regime from 2017 to 2022.

The agency also said subsidy will continue to suffocate this economy and will not allow it to breathe because it is a payment that must be made and then we do not also think that those expected to benefit are the beneficiaries.

According to NEITI subsidy payments in 2005 were NGN 351 billion naira or USD2.66 billion dollars; N219.72 billion naira or $1.70billion dollars in 2006; N236.64 billion naira or $ 1.89 billion dollars, 2007; N360 18 billion naira or $3.03 billion dollars, 2008; N198.11 billion naira or $1.60 billion dollars, 2009; and N416 .45 billion naira or $2.76 billion dollars, 2010.

In 2011, the payment was N1.9 trillion or $12.18 billion; N690 billion or $4.34 billion in 2012; N495 billion or $3.11billion 2013; N482 billion or $2.92 billion 2014; N316.70 billion or $1.62 billion 2015; N99 billion or $0.39 billion 2016; N141.63 billion or $0.44 million 2017; N722.30 billion or $2.36 billion 2018; N578.07 billion or $1.88 billion 2019 and N134 billion or $0.37 billion in 2020.

From the NEITI Report, it is very glaring that the Executive under the Watch of the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, the Legislature, NNPCL, the Nigerian OIL BILLIONAIRES and their FOREIGN COLLABORATORS ARE ALL COMPLICIT IN THE HUMONGOUS FRAUD!

QUESTION: Are you going to remain nonchalant when your future is at STAKE? There is virtually nothing to inherit from the outgoing administration of the old General other than DEBTS which even your own children and grandchildren may not be able to repay!

DO YOU want your country to become a present day Somalia or Afghanistan or a complete Banana Republic? THE BALL IS IN YOUR COURT NOW!
Our collective prayer is that you will rise from your SLUMBER, organise yourselves as you did during the 20th October 2020 #ENDSARS PROTESTS which was very articulate, very cerebral, well-organized and well-conducted.

Nigerians don’t expect you on the streets – never again! Get the Bill for a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION and take over in 2023 through your favourite Candidate!
You have the majority number and We will all pray that you rise to the occasion and POSTERITY will remember you as gallant youths who saved NIGERIA FROM FALLING OFF THE PRECIPICE!

Who would have thought that Great Britain – a politically, economically and security-stable nation gave birth to Nigeria 108 years ago?

In all the centuries of the parliamentary system of government in Britain - which has been in existence as far back as 1056 AD, political administration had always been smooth sailing that unlike politics of bitterness, rioting and bloodshed which had been Nigeria’s trade mark from time immemorial!

Some historians had always blamed Nigeria’s consecutive, incongruous, brutish, riotous, uncivilized and bloody political elections on the British Colonial Masters who deliberately handed over the Federal Government at Independence in 1960 to the under-developed and semi-literate Northern Protectorate!

Much as that assertion may be arguable, the British government requited to Nigeria a Parliamentary System of government which was and still is better than the Presidential System which has virtually dominated administration of the nation in 62 years as an independent country!

Parliamentary System of government is cost-effective and masses-friendly due to the participatory opportunities open to citizens from the Wards, Counties, Local Government Areas and up to the Central Government for patriotic service to their country!

Who would have thought that the last few months before September 5, 2022, when the change of baton was concluded between Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, that an election at that topmost hierarchy of government would be so incontroversial rancour-free and very democratic in nature and essence?

DOUBLE CELEBRATION OF ICONIC DEMOCRACY THE BY BRITISH EMPIRE.

It’s double celebration for the United Kingdom which was simultaneously blessed with brand new King and Prime Minister all in the month of September 5th-11th!
The unbroken umbilical cord between the United Kingdom and Nigeria cannot be wished away but will still wax stronger with the ascension to the throne of King Charles III, who is Nigeria-friendly and must now broker a FRESH FILIAL ARRANGEMENT to take the black African country out of its path is SELF-DESTRUCTION!

SHAMELESSLY NIGERIA CANNOT SOLVE IT'S PERENNIAL, POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND INSECURITY PROBLEMS WITHOUT RUNNING TO LONDON FOR COUNSEL INTERVENTION OR RESOLUTION!

Whenever there occurred any form of internal crisis, dubious Nigerian leaders would jet overseas to seek foreign solutions to resolve local issues or contentions!
And whereas, the seemingly unstoppable spate of criminal calamities forced on innocent Nigerians through terrorism, banditries, kidnappings, arsons, bombings etc, leading to public and institutional insecurity of lives and properties had been rightly traced to endemic CORRUPTION well grounded in the administration of the economy BUT WHICH ARE NON-EXISTENT IN BRITAIN!

Historically Nigeria had been a Commonwealth Colony since the year 1861 but it was not until after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria and the Protectorate of Northern Nigeria that formal government by the British began to take shape and political administration formalized.

Within a space of 39 years of servitude to the Colonial masters, (1914-1953) political awareness among stakeholders of the Colony of Nigeria began to gain momentum and the need for actualizing an Independent State through dialogue and peaceful conversations dominated the center stage among local politicians.

As fruitful official conversations progressed both in London and Lagos, names of delegates slated to attend the October 1953 London Constitutional Conference comprising of representatives of the various political genres; (Action Group (AG), National Council for Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), Northern Elements Progressive Union (NEPU), Nation of Cameroons and National Independence Party (NIP), accompanied by Delegates were forwarded well in advance to the British Government to facilitate all necessary preparations.

EXTRACTS FROM THE UK PARLIAMENT HANSARD ON THE LONDON AND LAGOS CONFERENCE ON THE NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION, 21ST OCTOBER 1953:

UK Secretary of State for the Colonies Mr Oliver Lyttelton, was requested to make statements regarding the conclusions reached on the future Constitutions of Northern Rhodesia and Nigeria during his visits to those territories. And also whether he would make a statement on a recent Conference held in Nigeria.
He answered as follows “The Lagos conference continued and completed the work of the conference held in London last summer. I am glad to be able to inform the House that it was an unqualified success.
“All the conclusions which were reached at Lagos were arrived at by general agreement. The fears which had been expressed in some quarters that my decision at the London conference to make Lagos, a Federal Territory would make this impossible have proved unfounded.
“I welcome this opportunity of paying tribute to the spirit of goodwill in which all the delegations approached the task. All the delegations showed a remarkable insight into the niceties of Constitutional checks and balances and displayed a willingness to sink sectional interest for the common good.
“The work involved Is massive but I hope they will be ready in about six months time. The revised constitution will be reviewed again at a further conference of similar composition to be held not later than August 1956 when any question relating to the constitution will be open for discussion.
“The new arrangement under which the Southern Cameroons will cease to be part of the Eastern Region but will continue to be administered as part of Nigeria, as quasi Federal Territory was worked out in agreement with the representatives of the Southern Cameroons.
It is welcome to them and was endorsed by other Nigerian delegations. The insulation from politics of the Judiciary, the Police and the Public Service has been secured with general approval.
“The decisions taken in London and confirmed at Lagos to regionalise the Public Service and the Judiciary have been criticized on grounds of expense and administrative inconvenience.
“I would however remind the House that even the smallest of the three regions in Nigeria with a population of 6.360,000 million is - with the exception of Tanganyika - bigger than any other British Colonial Territory anywhere else in the world.

NIGERIA HAD FOUR PRE-AND-FIVE POST-INDEPENDENCE CONSTITUTIONS!

Sir Arthur Lyttelton Constitution of 1954 was the last of the pre-independence documents which existed for six years and ushered peaceful transition through the first Independence Constitution of 1960 for Nigeria.

QUESTION: Could it be said that Nigeria got its Independence on a “PLATTER OF GOLD” and as such did not cherish it’s own worth? And therefore like the PRODIGAL SON, went abroad to squander all the abundant riches of the greatly-endowed nation with Foreign-Exchange Earner Crude Oil and over 35 identified natural resources buried in the belly of the helpless Giant Nation!

Current Nigerian leaders should bury their heads in shame for bringing the Giant of Africa into so much disrepute among the comity of Nations.
They must not be allowed to go scot-free with all the stolen wealth of this nation in their possession!

Nigerian Whistleblowers MUST move into action now and expose this corrupt leaders before they can cover up their dirty Deals!
NIGERIA SHOULD FOLLOW GREAT BRITAIN'S FOOTSTEPS IN ORDER TO CHANGE ITS PRESENT IGNOMINABLE IDENTITY!

FUGITIVE EX-MILITANTCOMMANDER TOMPOLO BAGS FOUR BILLION-NAIRA MONTHLY OIL PIPELINE CONTRACT!

Having been “cleared” of all charges of theft and money laundering by the Buhari-led APC Government, Ex-Niger Delta militant leader, Government Oweizide Ekpemupole (aka Tompolo), has turned out to be the “ROBINHOOD” that would save for Nigeria the annual humongous trillions of naira loss due to CRUDE OIL THEFT AND OIL BUNKERING in the Niger Delta region!

For a period of six years 2016 – 2022, Tompolo who was a fugitive on the POLICE WANTED LIST disappeared completely into thin air from the Nigerian political and economic scene without a trace in spite of intensified efforts of security agents to arrest him!

However “much water has flowed under the bridge”, Tompolo got a reprieve and suddenly re-emerged to become the beautiful bride among all the ex-militant commanders who surrendered their arms in return for a GENERAL AMNESTY PROGRAMME to the Federal Government of late President Umaru Yar ‘ Ardua on 4th October 2009, who paid them monthly allowances in billions of naira for peace to reign in the Niger Delta region!

The 1990s recorded violent resistant activities by several Niger Militant Delta armed groups of which Tompolo played leading roles and eventually became leader of the reknown Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), before the advent of the Millenia year 2000!

He championed the cause of the Niger Deltans who were abandoned and neglected by consecutive governments in spite of the degradation, devastation through exploration and exploitation of crude oil from their region without adequate compensations for the horrible damages inflicted on both farmlands and the environments!

His groups pressed home their demands that all the exploiters - the locals and the international oil companies - must be made to pay handsomely for the rehabilitation of the degraded lands of Niger Delta and environments through kidnappings of both local and expatriate oil workers and also blasting of pipelines which resulted in the loss of the lives of innocent Nigerians in the region!

WHY DID THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AWARD THE PIPELINE SURVEILLANCE CONTRACT TO TOMPOLO?

The Federal Government has said through the Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, that Tompolo was not awarded the controversial pipeline surveillance contract in person but to the company in which he has interests and in the interest of the people of the region.
He also explained that it was not the first time that individuals within the Niger Delta Region were awarded contracts for pipeline surveillance adding that it was the belief of the Federal Government that it was a wise and right decision to hire private contractors to man oil pipeline network nationwide.

Tompolo was credited to be versatile in the security network of the terrain which he handled creditably in the past. Contractors were selected through a tender process for those who could carry out the assignment because government dealt with corporate entities while government security agencies would continue to play their overall constitutional roles of protection of lives and property in the country.

IT IS ONLY IN NIGERIA’S PRESIDENTIAL ALL-COMMERS SYSTEM THAT CRIMES AND CRIMINALITIES ARE CELEBRATED WITH IMPUNITY BY GOVERNMENT!

NIGERIA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WHERE EX-CONVICTS, CRIMINALS AND DE-RADICALIZED TERRORISTS ARE FOUND DINNING AND WINNING IN CORRIDORS OF POWER!

IT IS ABSOLUTELY ANATHEMA! THIS KIND OF AFFRONT AGAINST HUMAN RIGHTS AND SENSIBILITIES OF THE OVER 200 MILLION NIGERIANS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT WHERE POWER IS BROKERED BY THE PEOPLE IN A BOTTOM-TO-TOP APPROACH!

Please join the campaign to produce a brand new UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION NOW! Nigeria needs a PRIME MINISTER in 2023 and not the ABASED AND BANKRUPT PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM!

For SEVEN consecutive years retired Major General President Muhammadu Buhari and his Cabal- in-Council kept chanting a broken record that their political Party inherited a virtually empty treasury in 2015 when they took over the mantle of leadership in Nigeria!
From the biblical Book of Genesis to Revelation, the number Seven (7) symbolises the nature/state of perfection and completeness – a fact that is universally acceptable by all Faiths, races and kindred’s of the Earth.

But for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Administration, tales of woes and calamities characterized by failure in actualizing dividends of democracy through ineptitude, impunity, corruption, insecurity, bloodshed and total impoverisation of the entire population in SEVEN worst years ever witnessed in Nigeria (except for the politicians) whose salaries and allowances and larger-than-life lifestyle had never CHANGED!

THEY MANIPULATED NIGERIANS – ESPECIALLY THE YOUTHS - IN 2015 SAYS BISHOP MATTHEW HASSAN KUKAH!

Catholic Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah of the Sokoto Diocese turned 70 years on the 31st August 2022 and made the following scathing statements on NIGERIAN POLITICS tagged” Nigeria’s Unfinished Greatness: Next Steps”, at the commissioning of KUKAH CENTRE through a panel of discussants and also in a special interview on ARISE NEWS.

1) In the seventh/eighth years, Nigeria ran a political system that is a combination of theocracy and of feudalism. It is a system that is so complex and convoluting that it cannot pass the test of democracy.

2) Since the concept of leadership is increasingly being redefined as a result of globalisation the world is no longer focusing on who your father or your mother is or what your town is. The world is now focusing on what is in your brain - your brainpower - your ability, your capacity to govern the world by sheer brain not brawn. This is also the reality of politics in Africa.

3) He said it was important for the political actors particularly the 2023 presidential candidates to listen to the young people understand their frustration and align their agenda toward assuaging their grievances because the 2015 misplaced passions have dissipated through the instrumentality of religious deceit and manipulation which was described as “jihad”!The forthright and out-spoken man of God said it was the worst type of fraud for any politician to promise undiscerning youths the establishment of either an Islamic or Christian State in Nigeria!

4) Ethnicity was the other 2015 LIE which the desperate politicians employed to further diversify the fragile tolerance and successfully pitched citizens against one another in multiple clashes that snuffed out thousands of innocent lives!

THE CLERIC AMONG OTHER THINGS ALSO SAID THAT NEW GENERATION POLITICIANS SHOULD MOVE TO THE NOOKS AND CRANNIES OF NIGERIA TO SELL THEIR CONVICTIONS BECAUSE THE ENERGY OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE AND THEIR ATTENTION TO THE COUNTRY'S ELECTION MUST BE ADDRESSED IN ORDER TO SIFT THE RIGHT CANDIDATES TO GET THE DESIRED OUTCOME.

The word perfection is nowhere found in Nigeria’s economic lexicon because President Major General Buhari was already tired and completely SPENT at resumption of office in 2015!

Having tried on three unsuccessful times to become a democratic president of Nigeria on the fourth occasion there was no more stamina left in the septuagenarian for him to run even a Local Government Area!
He said an assumption of office and we quote him: “I wish I became Head of State when I was a Governor just a few years as a young man. Now at 72 there's a limit to what I can do.” (He had served as a Military Governor at age 33 and Head of State at 40!)

The past 7 years of Buhari's administration have been characterised by the worst kind in the breakdown of law and order, terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, assassinations, attacks on correctional facilities, police stations military formations etc, that became endemic throughout the entire Six-geo political zones of the country!

Addicted borrowings (local and foreign ), which resulted in outrageous indebtedness that may not be redeemed in two to three generations after Buhari’s departure from office!
In all of these, international assessment indexes credited the country for being the POVERTY CAPITAL of the world due to massive corruption with impunity under his watch.

In spite of the abundant natural mineral resources in all States of Nigeria and especially of CRUDE OIL which had been the MainStay of the economy, organised OIL THEFT surreptitiously organised with the official connivance of those in authority thrived without restraint!

OPEC PRODUCTION QUOTA OF 2.3 MILLION BARRELS PER DAY CANNOT BE MET!

While other oil-producing nations are enjoying a windfall through volatile escalating oil prices - a fallout of the UKRAINE-RUSSIA CONFLICT Nigerian leaders are lamenting that the new NNPCL is only operating on paper and cannot fulfill its obligations to the Nigerian taxpayers in respect of foreign exchange earnings.!
The out-going APC administration according to the Grapevine has plan to falsify sales figures in respect of the OIL WINDFALL in order to rubbish a true perspective of the economy!

Although oil exports account for about 80% of Nigeria's foreign exchange Revenue: assuming that Nigeria could meet its production qouta and earn between USD$100-130 dollars per barrel in the Oil Boom, the difference between its 2022 Budget Oil Price Benchmark of USD$67 dollars (over 100%), would not be sufficient to SERVICE EXISTING DEBT RUNNING NGN45 TRILLION NAIRA!
We have it on good authority that very soon both OIL THEFT and PIPELINE VANDALIZATION will fizzle into the past because the Federal Government under the Watch of President Buhari is working with local contractors in the Niger Delta Area to engage repentant militants to protect this major asset of the Nation.
We want to believe that the effort will work out without any hitch and the dent created on foreign exchange earnings will be successfully ameliorated.

QUESTION: Will the ex-militants be faithful to agreement? As it is being rumoured that THE CONTRACT WAS A PLOY TO JETTISON THE CONSTITUTIONAL 13 % DERIVATIVE FORMULA FOR OIL-PRODUCING STATES AND DEMAND FOR “DERIVATIVE FORMULA”!

BREAKING NEWS‼

VICE PRESIDENT ‘YEMI OSINBAJO HEADS NIGERIA DELEGATION TO SEEK USD$410 BILLION DOLLARS TO ACTUALIZE THE TRANSITION PLAN TO A NEW GOVERNMENT IN 2023!
As a constitutional chairman of the National economic Council (NEC) Vice President ‘Yemi Osinbajo was assigned by his principal to go a-borrowing as the head of a delegation to United States for financial support for the recently launched ENERGY IMPLEMENTATION WORKING GROUP PLAN (ETWG).
The Vice president who had no choice collected the baton to run the BORROWERS RACE which was championed in the past Seven years by the retired General BUT WOULD HE BREAST THE TAPE?

At his whims and caprices, the Major General deprived his deputy to function as Chairman of the (NEC), BUT constituted at various times irrelevant economic groups to spite him!

It is on record that the Vice President's Economic Recovery Plan Growth (ERPG), saved the nation from an embarrassing double economic recession between Quarter 4, 2015 and Quarter 3, 2016!
The VP who has been in Washington DC since 1st September 2022, would lobby top Biden Ministers, President of the World Bank Group and his US counterpart Kamala Harris, if the Transition Plan MUST MATERIALIZE!
It’s only in Nigeria’s Military Presidential System that a government would borrow to pay salaries and allowances to the very end of its TENURE and still have the audacity to campaign for CONTINUITY!
Patriotic Nigerians MUST URGENTLY SUPPORT THE BILL FOR A BRAND NEW CONSTITUTION THAT WILL PRODUCE A PRIME MINISTER THROUGH PARTICIPATORY REPRESENTATION ON 25TH FEBRUARY 2023!

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (CAN) MUST TEAM UP WITH BOKO HARAM NEGOTIATORS NOW!

Boko Haram insurgency was preventable at the onset in August 2009 but bad leadership and government of the North-East Borno State Administration nurtured and festered the anti-Western Education motley Islamic group to blossom into a monstrous dimension within five years to kidnap 276 chibok girls and also to hit several soft targets in the Federal Capital Territory - seat of government!

Government Girls Secondary Boarding School, Chibok, a predominantly Christian-dominated institution was invaded on the night of 14th April, 2014, but a sitting Christian President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was unruffled and dismissed the massive abduction with a wave of hand as a political propaganda to divert attention from serious issues of government!

Early in the morning of the same day a BUS TERMINAL in the satellite part of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory called Nyanyan was also bombed by the same Boko Haram group and several souls were lost in the disaster!

The now ex-President visited the gory site, expressed condolences and flew to Kano for political jamboree of his ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

The spate of kidnappings, arsons, bombings increased by the day and months until the election year 2015 which ushered Muhammadu Buhari as new president!

Out of the 276 kidnapped Chibok girls, 57 escaped 7 were found and 103 released through sustained pressure by the BRING BACK OUR GIRLS GROUP (of both Muslim and Christian Faith), and efforts of the Federal Government Security architecture under Major General President Muhammadu Buhari’s watch but 109 are still missing!

THE ADVENT OF NEGOTIATORS!

Prominent among the emerging terrorists negotiators is an Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, believed to be a former Nigerian Army Captain, who has brokered peace between the Terrorists, Federal and State governments of Bornu Kaduna, Zamfara etc, for the release of kidnapped victims “without payment of ransoms”?

Although a controversial figure, Sheikh Gumi had on several occasions criticized the President and his government for lackadaisical attitude in respect of intractable insecurity in the nation through terrorism, banditry kidnapping etc.

Others include MACBAN and Miyetti Allah, which played prominent roles in the release of 350 boys out of about 800 boarding house residents of the Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State on Friday 11th December 2020.
It was a day President Buhari decided to visit his state on an official duty but was embarrassed with the kidnapping which took place shortly before his arrival. The release was done within six days and the State Governor disclosed that no ransom was paid.

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA CAN NO LONGER STAND ALOOF

One hundred and ten (110), students of the Government Girls Science and Technical College, Yobe, (GGSTC), abducted on 19 February 2018 were rescued without payment of ransom except for LEAH SHARIBU a Christian who refused to renounce her faith within a few days of their abduction and has remained in the custody of Boko Haram terrorist for FOUR YEARS!
Another Christian girl who was among the victims of the Kaduna Abuja train attack in March 2022, 21-year-old Azurfa Lois John, is under threat of marriage by one of the commanders of the terrorists and except Federal Government acts quickly to effect her release, she may also go the way of Leah sharibu, who is believed to have been forcefully married to one of the Terrorists and now has two children!

FOUR CATHOLIC REVEREND SISTERS KIDNAPPED IN IMO STATE ON 21ST AUGUST 2022 HAVE BEEN RELEASED

The four Catholic Church Reverend Sisters who were kidnapped on their way to a Thanksgiving mass of one of their colleagues have been unconditionally and safely released four days after their abduction.

The Secretary General of the SISTERS OF JESUS THE SAVIOUR requested all religious faithfuls in the country to pray for the quick and safe return of the victims and in response to this call Nigerian Christians fasted and prayed for the quick release of the innocent children of God who are engaged in the work of the VINEYARD.

WHAT ROLE IS CAN PLAYING IN THE RELEASE OF LEAH SHARIBU, AZURFA LOUIS JOHN AND SEVERAL OTHER CHRISTIAN MEN/WOMEN IN THE CAMPS OF TERRORISTS, BANDITS, AND GUNMEN?

It is general knowledge that Terrorists are the most unpredictable inhumans; they are unstable mentally, physically and were virtually on drugs 24 hours of every day; they are most unpredictable in words, action and deeds!
Payment of ransoms do not guarantee the sanctity of the lives of their victims. In all of these, is the Christian Association of Nigeria group afraid of the faces of these bandits and Terrorists? They should join the group of NEGOTIATORS and move into the Forests and into the Camps and negotiate with them through the Word of God and even convert some them with humility and with love!

THE ISLAMIC FAITH BELIEFS THAT BOTH MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS ARE THE OFFSPRINGS OF THE GREAT PATRIARCH ABRAHAM AND AS SUCH SHOULD LIVE IN UNITY AND HARMONY!

POLICY SOMERSAULT OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!

In April 2021 a Nigerian diplomat said if government embraced dialogue with Boko Haram, the endless bleeding of Nigeria's economy would seize and the country would save NGN1.2 trillion Naira annually in a conflict-free environment.

In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on the sudden death of President Idris Debbie of Chad Republic who confronted and defeated Boko Haram Terrorists in the Lake Chad Region, the diplomat said that the President’s death had created a vacuum that would be difficult to fill!

He also said that the situation in the North East would be further aggravated for all state and non-state actors and Nigeria should therefore negotiate peace agreement that will stamp out further bloodshed in the Chad Region.

He promised to pursue and carry out a policy to end the war through negotiation if he were President because there was no viable alternative to negotiation.
In June 2021, the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno said the Nigerian Government would not succumb to negotiations as a means to deal with the worsening security conditions in the country.
He said negotiating would portend weakness and posited that Nigeria would rather mobilize all military power to crush violence in the country and further said that the President had already ask the armed groups to lay down their arms within two months – June-August 2021!

According to United Nations Refugee Agency, about 26 million people in the Lake Chad Region were affected by violence committed by Boko Haram while 2.6 million others were displaced. More than 30,000 people had been killed and nearly 3 million displaced in a decade of Boko Haram terrorist activities in Nigeria according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

There is no need for the Federal Government to continue its deceit that the Nigerian Armed Forces have technically and tactically defeated Boko Haram!
The truth is in the open; they should negotiate so that NIGERIANS will have peace in the long run!

NGN2.66 BILLION NAIRA BROADCAST LICENSE FEES CANNOT BAIL OUT BUHARI'S BROKE GOVERNMENT.

A gloomy picture of the worst kind of economic woes has suddenly evolved to confirm that the present APC government of Major General Muhammadu Buhari was broke, completely BROKE due to PRODIGALITY, INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION and WASTAGES in administrative processes – most-especially at the Executive and Legislative Arms!

The existing economic imbroglio has revealed that the 2022 Deficit Budget spending between January and April shot up with NGN3.09 trillion naira which source was shrouded in secrecy and whereas FG generated revenue was a paltry NGN1.63 trillion naira!
During the same period, external borrowings headed towards USD$40 billion dollars, according to official sources. Daily subsidy on PMS according to Finance Minister is NGN 1.8 billion; Debt-servicing took a big chunk of NGN1.94trillion naira, leaving virtually nothing to Capital Expenditure which got NGN773.63 billion in the four months of January to April!
In 2021, a total sum of N4.22 trillion naira was spent on debt servicing alone!
Total figure for 2022 Budget is NGN17.13trillion!

In the year 2020 the Executive President ordered the Finance Minister to RAID ALL DORMANT BANK ACCOUNTS (of both the Living and the Dead), and “BORROW” such monies found for utilization on CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES - with a promise to refund such funds within a very short period!
In spite of global windfall for excess forex earnings created through the Russia-Ukraine Conflict, the Nigerian government of President Buhari has blame massive OIL THEFT AND PIPELINE VANDALIZATION for its diminishing fortunes!
Buhari’s Federal Government has claimed that they could not meet with OPEC'S international quota of 2.2 million barrels per day of crude oil export and barely pumped between 1.4-1.5 mbpd- which proceed is ploughed into feeding external debts!

IN DESPERATE BID FOR MORE FUNDS, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REVOKES LICENSES OF RADIO AND TV STATIONS ACROSS NIGERIA!

The mass communication and media agency of the Federal Government national broadcasting commission NBC revoked the broadcast licenses of 52 broadcast stations for failure to renew their licenses amounting to NGN2 .66 billion naira between 2015 and 2022.
According to the Agency's portal, those broadcast institutions contravened the National Broadcasting Commission Act Cap N 11, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 particularly Section 10 (a) of the Third Schedule of the Act.

According to the Military- bequeathed 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Press or Mass Media was still guaranteed some measure of FREEDOM and RESPONSIBILITIES to act as the “Watch Dog” over government activities with a view of holding them accountable to the people to whom SOVEREIGNTY belongs!
While Section 22 of the constitution States the Press radio television and other agencies of mass media shall at all times be free to uphold the fundamental objectives contained in this chapter and uphold responsibility and accountability of the government to the people while Section 39 (1) of the same Constitution also states that every person shall be entitled to freedom of expression including the freedom to hold opinions and to receive an impact ideas and information without interference.

KILLING A GNAT WITH A SLEDGE HAMMER!

The Nigerian press and media operators have come a long way long before the Independence of the Nation of Nigeria to educate the citizens.
Herbert Macaulay and Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe were notable Nigerian journalist of pre-independence era who played pivotal roles to secure freedom from the British Colonial masters.

Majority of the media establishments which have been closed down by the BROKE BUHARI GOVERNMENT have been paying LICENSE FEES in over 20 years while performing vital duties in information dissemination - when incumbent government institutions derelicted!

For instance the NATIONAL ORIENTATION AGENCY (NOA), IS THE LAME DUCK of the APC Administration under the Watch of the old Army General. All money pumped into that agency in the last seven years had gone down the drain!

BUT for the Nigerian Press citizens would have been kept in perpetual darkness in respect of government institutional corruption and other pseudo activities!
The Press collects, and shares information regularly on all its portals and virtually transmits free to the masses, a responsibility which Government should deliver.
NBC action was rash, premature, infantile, irrational and purposeless! It is not in conformity with present day realities of the 21st Century in ICT dissemination of information through internet!
OUR VERDICT! All charges against broadcast and radio stations must be dropped and all phantom debts cancelled!
Both parties should negotiate and fix appropriate minimal fees that will not affect operational costs of the patriotic agencies!

Please join this campaign to establish a Populist Government of National Unity through the Parliamentary System that MUST take off from 29th May 2023 and embrace all citizens from the grassroots Representatives and Parliamentarians who at the Central level would pick a PRIME MINISTER from among themselves!
Also share on all internet platforms and save Nigeria from further bloodshed and, other national disasters!

Every failure of government in Nigeria is alluded to global phenomenon. During ex-President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s tenure when terrorism was at the highest peak and criminality was the order of the day, he said, “Nigeria was having its fair share of global terrorism!”

Eventually Major General Muhammadu Buhari took over in 2015 and also failed to deliver on his promises to terminate terrorism though he was a reputable retired General, neither was he able to frontally crush corruption and improve the economy, his apologetics say FAILURE is a global phenomenon!

He was at loss in spite of his array of economic teams and advisers! Now seven years in office his handlers who have woefully failed in the discharge of their official duties are still unashamedly positing that Nigeria's economic woes would fizzle with continuous borrowings for phantom critical infrastructures whereas such monies were diverted to pay Civil Servants, the Executive, Legislative and Judicial officers salaries!

Heightened insecurity culminating in massive terrorist/banditry attacks on innocent citizens all over the 774 Local Government Areas (LGAs), including threats to kidnap even the President from his Aso Rock State House are all ascribed to global phenomenon! What a country, what impotent leadership? Major General Muhammadu Buhari was one person many thought was the expected MESSIAH because of his antecedent as a retired military General who was unable to fulfill his mission to change the economic narrative as Head of the Nigerian State as far back as 1984- 1985 and was desperate to come back as a democratic president to fulfill those lofty and patriotic ideas.

It is no longer news that he desperately contested for the elective position of the president of Nigeria in the years 2003, 2007 and 2011 but failed.

PROVIDENTIALLY destined to be a democratic President, he did not give up and when he made another move in 2015 which was the FOURTH attempt he scaled the hurdle through divine intervention!
To God be the glory that the Prophet of God in Zion and his Prayer Warriors were commanded by God to pray for his success and to prophesy that he would win and fulfil two terms in office.

What is the state of Nigeria's security since Buhari's emergence?

ITS been the worst in the whole wide world of 202 countries and yet his handlers would keep saying it is a global phenomenon!
The month of August 2022 makes it 13 years of BOKO HARAM TERRORISM in Nigeria. Major General Muhammadu Buhari travelled to Maiduguri, State Capital of Borno state North East Nigeria on a day’s official visit to commission some ongoing projects of rehabilitation, reconstruction, re-integration and the revamping of the economy of the State in order to ease the constant tension among the citizens and to improve social infrastructures.

In seven years of his administration the President visited Maiduguri on flying visit of few hours but had never passed a night in that state. Outside of Boko Haram there had been other heinous activities of all forms of gangsterism which posed serious danger to the society on daily basis through kidnapping banditries, regular attacks on all commercial vehicles, the illegal occupation of several Local Government Areas in the North East and collection of illegal taxes from farmers before they could farm their lands!

In seven years of BUHARI’S Administration Nigeria's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), has been grossly depleted and the economy shattered!
The worst scenario of all was the international indexing that Buhari and his Administration had recorded the most corrupt activities through government officials, civil servants, special advisers including all miscreants in the corridors of power and that the retired General who claimed to be an astute and incorruptible politician sat helplessly unable to change the ugly trend!

As a result Nigeria has become the worst indebted nation in the world. Our debt portfolio has run into trillions of naira as of this third quarter of 2022 and yet the old General still wants to continue to borrow to pay salaries without any meaningful infrastructures to show for seven years in office!

Outside of the second Niger Bridge and the Dangote Cement and Fertilizer conglomerate which is a private investment initiative nothing can be pointed out under Mr Buhari’s Watch that favoured Nigerians.

Nigeria's external debt as at March 2022, was USD$39.69 dollars! The Petroleum Sector which is the mainstay of the nation's economy has been cornered by Buhari’s cabal who possess all the OIL BLOCKS and are the PETRODOLLAR BILLIONAIRES!

And in spite of the four refineries credited to the country for over 22 years, Nigerian leaders and all consecutive governments had always exported crude oil to be refined abroad in exchange for the refined products which they now claim to SUBSIDIZE!

This issue of subsidy by government has become a terrible corruption which even the Minister of Petroleum Resources, President Buhari himself had failed to address righteously!
We are being told now by the Minister of Finance that over NGN 6trillion naira would be paid as SUBSIDY on petroleum products in the Budget for the year 2022!

This is a most scandalous robbery on the economy because it has been established that subsidy is a monumental fraud which has been perfected by the cabal that are running the Kitchen Cabinet of President Buhari since 2015 to date.

It is on record that of the several hundreds of pseudo contractors importing refined products petroleum products from overseas only two or three culprits have been successfully arrested prosecuted and sent to jail.

All the others are walking rich and free and flaunting their illegal wealth in the society without inhibition and without restraint because they are untouchables.

All of these shameful discrepancies in government can only happen in the kind of military Presidency in Nigeria.
When CHINA – the most populous nation in the World faced economic challenges in the 60s/80s, its leaders decided to shut up the nation and looked inward without importing from other countries but harnessed their God-given resources to eliminate poverty through land cultivation, intensive agricultural engineering, manufacturing, productions etc.

All gainfully able-bodied male and female citizens were fully employed in all possible trades, vocations, local manufacturing, cottage industries, small and medium scale businesses and the country leaders ensured there were no importation of any sort from other countries while the citizens ate what they produced for scores of years until they broke even!

China as of the 21st Century is the second largest economy outside of the United States of America and they are still growing and determined to ensure that poverty is completely eradicated.

The country's population is about 1.5 billion, followed by India at 1.2 billion but Nigeria with just over 200 million people is internationally dubbed as the POVERTY CAPITAL of the world the MOST CORRUPT nation the MOST DANGEROUS country to invest and the DIRTIEST and the MOST UNHYGIENIC COUNTRY of the world!
JAPAN is another country which even after the terrible devastation of the atomic bomb over Hiroshima and Nagasaki decided to rebuild their nation by shutting themselves in to rebuild, reconstruct and reinvent.

TODAY Japan can be economically rated as the third highly industrial economy in the world having picked up from the rubbles and ashes of war through a determined and very patriotic leadership!
SRI LANKA cannot be omitted from this narrative. A country with 22 million population but lacking in economic astuteness just like Nigeria. A free market economy of Sri Lanka was worth $ 84 billion dollars by nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP), in 2019 and $296.959 billion by purchasing power parity but today the country is in economic and political crisis just like Nigeria recently defaulting on its debt p payments and sparking mass protests across the country.
The country’s foreign currency reserves have plummeted, an outstanding 99%, from 2019, decreasing the ability to purchase imports and driving up domestic prices for goods in the third quarter of the year 2022.

in July 2022 SRI Lanka’s President had to abandon his official residence when thousands of protesters stormed the palace and demanded for his resignation and was quickly transported to the army headquarters hours before the eviction!

The citizens have been complaining about poverty, cost of living, joblessness, payment of rent, lack of money to buy food and medicine and most importantly petroleum products just as in Nigeria.

Now, can those BUHARI apologetics now generalize Sri Lanka’s and Nigeria’s MALADMINISTRATION through deliberate indebtedness, institutional corruption, ineptitude which are their outstanding failures as GLOBAL PHENOMENON?
It is better they shut up and keep quiet forever because sooner than later there's going to be divine judgement upon this evil generation of leaders in Nigeria. The time to rise and shine is now! Nigeria needs a patriotic Prime Minister that should emerge through a BRAND NEW UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION that must be passed by this 9th NATIONAL ASSEMBLY so that from 2023 onwards the country will regain its economic status and become a buoyant nation again.

The current group of Nigeria’s evil leaders will be expunged through divine power and we shall see them no more! It is time for REPENTANCE! Perhaps if they repent and lead RIGHTEOUSLY, God will forgive them and save their souls!
“Righteousness exalts a nation, but SIN is a reproach to all people.” (Proverbs. 14:34).

[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]

Less than five months of signing the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) into an Act, President Major General Muhammadu Buhari on 5th January 2022, appointed the Board and Management of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited in accordance with the power vested in him under Section 59 (2) of the Petroleum Industry Act 2021, without following due process because such exercise could only be legal and effective after 12 months from 16th August 2021, when he appended his assent to the Bill.

BUT THE PRESIDENT HAS PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE. In September 2021, the retired military General directed the incorporation of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), into a Limited Liability Company in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Constitution and Section 53 (5) of the PIA 2021 in consultation with the Minister of Finance Budget and Planning to ensure that the nominal shares of the company held by government were not transferable nor mortgaged unless approved by the government and the National Economic Council (NEC), within six months of the commencement of the Act.

And whereas the PIA Seven-man Implementation Committee that should work for 12 months before the incorporation had not even sat for one day!

ACCORDING to the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), 2021, it should take the Implementation Committee 12 months from the day of Presidential assent to prepare the ground for the incorporation of a new Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and within another period of 6 months (totaling 18 months), for the new outfit to hit the ground running according to the new Act!

From Our own calculation 16th August 2021 to 9th August 2022, (when he inaugurated the new Board), is hardly one calendar year! Government sources have confirmed that the new NNPC was incorporated into a limited liability company in September 2021 by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), just one month after Presidential assent contrary to the letters of the PIA!
Section 59 (2) of the PIA is emphatic that the President would approve the appointment of Board members with effect from the date of incorporation of the company ie,12 months from 16th August 2021 when he appended his assent to the Bill.

And whereas the President returned the Act to the Senate in September 2021 for some amendments!

THE FOLLOWING ARE FOUR URGENT REQUESTS FOR AMENDMENTS MADE BY PRESIDENT BUHARI IN A LETTER FORWARDED TO THE SENATE ON 16TH SEPTEMBER 2021, IN HIS CAPACITY AS THE SUBSTANTIVE MINISTER FOR PETROLEUM RESOURCES.

On the 16th September, 2021, one month after his assent to the PIA, President Buhari returned the document which has suffered implementation delays under THREE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Administrations to the Senate “FOR FOUR URGENT AMENDMENTS”

The need to appoint FOUR more non-executive members to increase the Board's composition from 9 to 13 as provided for by the Act to reflect balanced geo-political representation and also the need that Sections 11(2)(b) and 34(2)(b), which provide for Administrative Structure of the PIA 2021 be amended.
Deletion of Sections (11)(f), 11(2)(g), 34(2)(f) and 34(2)(g) from the PIA.

Removal of Ministries of Petroleum and Finance from the Board of the Nigerian Petroleum Regulatory Authority and Upstream Regulatory Commission which already have constitutional responsibilities of either supervision or inter-governmental relations without being in the Board.

He also sought for amendments to Sections (11) (3) and (41)(2), for diverse reasons.

All of the above requests clearly portrayed ineptitude of the Buhari administration which is fully aware that the NNPC had been the most corrupt institution in the annals of the history of this nation because of its cash-cow status.

Crude oil has accounted for over 70% of government's budgetary revenues, has provided 95% of foreign exchange earnings, has played pivotal role in the country's oil and gas exports, garnered about 83% of the Federal Government revenue and also generated more than 14% of Nigeria's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), over the years from 1999-2015.

However the transition of this most-disreputable institution to a limited liability company has nose-dived because of arbitrary and illegal inauguration of Board members without following due process. The Chief Executive displayed his usual artistry as master of institutional impunity because the Senate Joint Committee on Petroleum Industry’s PUBLIC HEARING did not sit to consider the loopholes mentioned in the President’s letter before the investiture of Board members on 5th January, 2022, and members of HOST COMMUNITIES have petitioned the Senate to do the needful by effecting necessary modifications in the PIA!

WHAT WILL THE “NEW NNPCL” DO DIFFERENTLY FOLLOWING INHERITANCE OF A MAL-ADMINISTERED ECONOMIC STRUCTURE SADDLED WITH 23 SUBSIDIARIES?

***We are told that the new company will neither collect subsidy nor determine petroleum pump price any longer!
We have never change our position that the whole gamut of Petroleum Subsidy was nothing short of a monumental fraud against the Nigerian masses and

We still maintain our stand for the following salient reasons:
-An oil producing country like Nigeria with FOUR acclaimed REFINERIES has no business in importing finished products like, petrol (PMS), kerosene, diesel etc, if righteous leaders were in government!

-But it has been discovered that the said refineries were just dummies and were used as conduit pipes to siphon foreign exchange by the CABAL in every administration since 1999 to date.

-President Buhari who had been in the OIL AND GAS SECTOR since his military days admitted when he visited the United States in July 2015 that SUBSIDY WAS A MONUMENTAL FRAUD!

This was after he became the Head of the Nigerian Government in his first term in office. He specifically accused former Nigerian ministers of selling about 1 million barrels of crude oil per day and of diverting the gains to personal accounts. He also said in the United States that 250,000 barrels per day of Nigerian crude oil were regularly stolen and “people sell and put the money into individual pockets” adding that the United States and other developed countries were assisting Nigeria to trace such accounts. He also said he would ask that such accounts be frozen and would prosecute the persons involved!

The Buhari Administration has not successfully prosecuted crude oil robbers till date! He also said that as Minister of petroleum he knew that NNPC had only two traceable accounts of payment to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), but that everybody behaved anyhow in respect of the funds which accrued to the oil sector. He expressed doubt if ever fuel subsidy was ever removed and if transport housing and food prices would not go out of control and the average worker suffer untold hardship! He asked a rhetoric question: “Who is subsidizing who? They say; remove subsidy, do they want petrol to cost 500 Naira per litre? If you are working and subsidy is removed you can’t control transport and market women, the cost of food and the cost of transport.”

BUT UNDER BUHARI'S WATCH TODAY THE CORRUPTION WHICH HE PROMISED TO ERADICATE HAS GONE HAYWIRE THAT BETWEEN JANUARY 2021 AND FEBRUARY 2022 A TOTAL OF 91% OF CRUDE OIL WAS STOLEN FROM NIGERIA, ACCORDING TO NEW MEDIA REPORTS.

IN THE FIRST QUARTER - JANUARY TO MARCH 2022 STATISTICS PRESENTED AT A MEETING IN ABUJA BETWEEN THE NIGERIAN UPSTREAM PETROLEUM REGULATORY COMMISSION (NUPRC), OIL PRODUCERS TRADE SECTION AND THE INDEPENDENT PETROLEUM PRODUCERS GROUP (IPPG), REVEALED THAT UNITED STATES DOLLARS $3.2 BILLION, THE EQUIVALENT OF NIGERIAN NAIRA NGN 1.36 TRILLION WORTH OF CRUDE OIL WAS STOLEN FROM NIGERIA BETWEEN JANUARY 2021 AND FEBRUARY 2022!

However this new NNPCL will be totally independent and insulated of government interferences and will no longer remit into the Federal Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), any of its oil accruals which invariably means that there will be no more cap-in-hand begging from the Federal Government by State Governors any longer!

This new NNPCL will also inherit FOUR moribund refineries which Nigerians
were always deceived to be under refurbishing from the military and to the civilian government in about 40 years!

From henceforth they will consume their LIES like the Minister of State for Petroleum Timipre Sylva who told Nigerians that a whopping United States USD$ 1.5 billion was being spent to refurbish Warri Refinery!

From now on, all LIES of the state actors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will be exposed and Nigerians will know whether Buhari actually had good intentions or hidden agenda for the TALAKAWAS or not!
IF NNPCL IS BUHARI’S LEGACY, IT IS DEAD ON ARRIVAL!

“You can deceive some people for some time but you cannot deceive all the people all the time”! This is Word of Wisdom for Muhammadu Buhari and his cohorts to ponder about within the remaining SIX MONTHS they have left to quit ASO ROCK for a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY GOVERNMENT HEADED BY A PRIME MINISTER TAKE OVER!

Whatever prompted the Ekweremadus to fly to far-away London UK, for their daughter’s kidney trans-plant operation which services and expertise are available in modern Nigerian hospitals commissioned specially for the sole purpose of reversing medical tourism and saving the nation’s scarce foreign exchange reserves!

Nigeria recorded the first-ever successful paediatric kidney transplant on two patients at the St. Nicholas Hospital, Lagos in August 2009, some thirteen (13) years ago! There are not less than five specialist hospitals in the commercial city of Nigeria that cater for renal complications.

Two successful kidney transplants were recorded in January 2014, at the Delta State University Teaching Hospital [DELSUTH], Oghara, while doctors at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital [LASUTH], in November 2015, also celebrated first successful kidney transplant ever carried out in a tertiary hospital on a 56-year- old male patient. The second successful transplant by the same hospital was carried out in August of 2016, on a 38-year-old male patient.

Also in October 2021, Afe Babalola University Multi-System Hospital Ado-Ekiti, [ABUAD], South-West Nigeria, recorded its first Kidney transplant after a procedure which lasted five hours and fifteen minutes on an hypertensive and prostate-afflicted 46-year-old.

Home-grown, world-class, professional and specialist doctors equipped with modern healthcare facilities for kidney transplant, occupy pride of place in medical and kidney specialized centres that deliver first-class quality and excellent health care services in renal medicine and other specialities like urology, cardiology, paediatrics, gastroenterology, general surgery, gynaecological surgery etc, with state-of-the-art technological advanced equipments and procedures abound in all of Nigeria’s Six Geo-Political Zones! Senator Ike Ekweremadu, the learned lawmaker decided to abandon all of the above available Nigerian facilities and opted for the UK for reasons he might explain some day!

LONDON METROPOLITAN POLICE ARREST IKE EKWEREMADU AND WIFE ON THURSDAY 30TH JUNE 2022, AND CHARGED WITH ALLEGED TRAFFICKING OF A YOUNG NIGERIAN TO HARVEST HIS KIDNEY!

Ike Ekweremadu is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator representing Enugu West Senatorial District, a lawyer and a former Deputy Senate President for three consecutive [6th, 7th and 8th ], Senate.
On the 23rd June 2022, he was charged along with his wife, Beatrice, in the UK Magistrate’s Court with conspiring to arrange the travel of a 21-year-old into the UK in order to harvest organs.

Ike, very exposed and civilised was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1987 and had participated in politics until he won the prestigious title of best Local Government Chairman on the platform of the United Nigeria Congress Party (UNCP) in 1997 and had since remained in politics till he was elected into the Senate in 2003.
It was said that the legislator’s daughter needed a kidney transplant which necessitated the London trip. But it turned out at the hospital that the contracted young man’s organ was incompatible with the young woman’s and he was promptly requested to return to Nigeria.
The young man instead ran to the London Metropolitan Police and lied that he was a minor who was trafficked for organ harvesting by the couple and a Nigerian medical doctor practising in the UK who were promptly arrested and charged with violation of the Modern Slavery, 2015.

Ike Ekweremadu and the doctor will remain in custody until 31st October, 2022 when trial will continue but his wife was granted bail on stringent conditions.
THE UK IS A PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY WHERE ALL CITIZENS FROM PRIME MINISTER, PARLIAMENTARIANS AND SETTLERS ARE TREATED EQUALLY ACCORDING TO THE LAW!

From the moment of arrest Mr, Ekweremadu and wife were treated as suspects in spite of their travel documents which included a Diplomatic Passport but judicial process was meticulously followed to ensure that the trial was conducted in the UK and not transferred to Nigeria without consideration to any form of immunity!

Apart from being a Nigerian lawmaker, Ekweremadu is also a seasoned and professional lawyer who is vast in the Law of Contract which has not been mentioned so far since the trial began!
*Was there a legal contract between the chosen donor and the Ekweremadus or between any member of his family in respect of the transplant?
*Were there agreements that spelt out all areas of the contract beginning with the journey to London i.e. responsibility for travel tickets, accommodation, feeding, monetary allowances for duration of stay in the city.
*What form of medical tourism was envisaged and what financial package did the Ekweremadus propose for the kidney to be harvested and how was such money to be paid had the medical operation succeeded or failed?
*Was any member of the organ donor family involved at any time in Nigeria before his departure to London? Was there any contractual agreement between the two parties?

COMPARATIVE COST OF KIDNEY TRANSPLANT IN NIGERIA, INDIA AND THE UNITED KINGDOM [UK].

Kidney transplant in Nigeria costs between NGN4.7 –NGN7million naira; In India – between Rs.5 to Rs.6 Lakh in private hospitals (at $1,500 dollars per Lakh -$7,500 -$9,000 US dollars). What about Britain? According to a Health Publication of Thursday, 4th December, 2003, credited to Esther Addley, “One kidney costs $100,000. The donor gets $2,000” – through illegal website advertisements for sales of human body parts!

The publication also stated that although it was illegal in Britain to buy, sell, advertise, or seek to procure any of the human organs or tissue that can usefully be sliced off one person and sewn onto another – hearts, lungs, kidneys, livers, pancreas, small bowel, corneas, bone marrow, skin, heart valves, or tendons, the racketeering was a booming trade because: “THE WEALTHY UNWELL WERE PROVING THEMSELVES UNWILLING TO HANG ABOUT – ON THE QUEUE BUT RATHER IGNORE THE LAW FOR A VITAL ORGAN”!
Statistics of successful Kidney Transplant in Nigeria: The Nigerian Nephrology Association [NNA], on the occasion of the March 2020 World Kidney Day Celebration, disclosed that 700 Kidney transplants had been successfully performed in the country!
Kidney failures are usually caused through “high blood pressure and diabetes” which are the most common. Other causes include physical injury, diseases or other health disorders.
IN TURKEY, PATIENTS ARE FITTED WITH HARVESTED MOLDOVAN, ROMANIAN OR ESTONIAN KIDNEY!

Was it true that the Ekweremadus were arrested at the Heathrow Airport on their journey to Turkey to negotiate for new donor?
How true is it that the “wealthy unwell will always be impatient to queue, but will damn any consequence and ignore the law for a vital organ”! The 31st October, 2022, adjourned date is a few months away for the unfolding drama to be concluded!
“Let God be true, but every man be a liar, as it is written, That thou mightiest be justified in Thy sayings and mightiest overcome when thou art judged!. [Romans. 3:4.].

PRESIDENT BUHARI WILL NEITHER BE IMPEACHED NOR DIE IN OFFICE ACCORDING TO PROPHECY!

National Assembly Legislators spearheaded by the Minority Caucus have regretted that they failed to impeach Major General Buhari in the year 2020 when his ineptitude and cluelessness in governance manifested so glaringly through his failure to defeat neither corruption nor insecurity in the polity!
And now that he has only 10 months to departure lounge members of both Chambers are now scampering for signatures to begin a process of impeachment after SIX Weeks of grace terminating on 10th September, 2022, and declare him as unfit to continue as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The Legislators began their annual recess which will terminate on 20th September 2022 on Thursday 28 July 2022.
This latest threat to the All Progressives Congress(APC), seven-year administration through an impeachment notice over his failure to tackle/arrest the nation’s escalating insecurity situation which has gradually enveloped Abuja, the seat of power!

HOWEVER THE PRESIDENT CANNOT BE IMPEACHED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

1) Buhari’s two-term Presidency is a product of divine prophecy from the Servant of the Most High God in Zion in 2014, that in spite of all odds, he would serve for EIGHT YEARS AND WILL NOT DIE IN OFFICE.
2) His three failed attempts in 2003, 2007, and 2011, were not unnoticed by God who benevolently granted the opportunity which seemed impossibility to Man but with the caveat that he would work under divine guidance.
3) Although Buhari had not performed optimally in office according to expectations of the citizens, his handlers had capitalised on propaganda to continue to hold onto power from 2015 to date until the nefarious activities of impatient bandits further exposed his government's inadequacies.
4) But his punishment is not in the hand of TERRORISTS, BANDITS OR CITIZENS but in the hand of God whom he also bluntly disrespected by failing to execute divine assignments.

BUHARI’S FAILURES THROUGH DISOBEDIENCE!

In the month of May 2021 the LORD COMMANDED Muhammadu Buhari through the Zion BBC Newsletter twice in editions (404th and 406th of 9th and 23rd respectively), to declare a NATIONAL DAY OF FASTING AND PRAYERS BEFORE THE MONTH ENDED SO THAT GOD MIGHT FORGIVE ALL SINS, HEAL THE LAND OF NIGERIA OF INSECURITY AND STOP INCESSANT BLOODSHED!
THIS IS THE JUDGEMENT OF THE LORD AGAINST BUHARI FOR DISOBEDIENCE AND FAILING TO HONOUR GOD AS HIS CREATOR!

Thus saith the Lord: “When you were frustrated after your third attempt to become democratic president of Nigeria, I your FATHER encouraged you to make one more attempt and gave you the much-coveted seat against all odds.
“ I stood by you in spite of your weakness, incapability, frailty, indisposition, health deficit - and the least I EXPECTED of you was to follow my instructions through my appointed Prophet in Zion.
“ I your FATHER overlooked past errors of commission and omission and your inadvertent sins BUT this deliberate disobedience WILL I NOT FORGIVE!
“From henceforth I have rent the kingdom of Nigeria from you and have given it to your neighbour whom you have so despised but who is far better than you.
“You will remain a mere figure-head and all your surrogates and kitchen cabinet members will disobey and flout your weightless executive orders.
“I am not blind to massive corruption of the past seven years under your watch which has increased crimes, criminalities and bloodshed all over the land. I will require the blood of all the innocent from your hands.
“I have withdrawn my immunity from you and you will continue to suffer several bouts of sickness henceforth. You will travel to foreign lands to seek help but will get none!

BUT YOU WILL NOT DIE IN OFFICE!

“All your cohorts will receive punishment according to the gravity of involvement in the looting and robbery of the National Treasury for their selfish ends and aggrandizement.
“I will definitely not spare anyone found culpable in your administration, your family/ friends or among members of your ruling party in order to save My country and My CHILDREN whose blood cry to me daily from the Earth!”

HARASS BUHARI, KIDNAP BUHARI, IMPEACH BUHARI, BUHARI MUST GO!

Previously, terrorists had sent a signal to Buhari that he was not safe even in his home State Katsina, when his advance motorcade convoy was attacked with servicemen casualties undisclosed on Tuesday 5th July, 2022!
Terrorist who boldly attacked the medium Correctional Centre Kuje in the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria Abuja, on Tuesday 12th July 2022, are yet to be arrested and one of the escaped prisoner who appeared in a videotape at the weekend had not been brought to justice like the others!

In a video clip that was released a week ago the escapee and his terror group boasted that they would kidnap both President Buhari and Kaduna’s Governor El Rufai and ferry them into the forest!

A United States Agency statistics recently released in Nigeria states a total figure of 5,222 (five thousand, two hundred and twenty-two) violent killings were recorded between February and July 2022.

Politicians across party lines including the ruling APC legislators have all condemned Buhari’s Government with one voice that APC has failed Nigerians.

PRESIDENCY MUST AVOID COLLATERAL DAMAGE IN AN EFFORT TO RESCUE KIDNAPPED VICTIMS!

Reacting to all accusations and criticisms, the Presidency denounced terrorist activities in the country and lamented that military attacks on their locations could result in collateral harm on innocent hostages.
It described the threat as a propaganda tool to instill fear in the citizens and force government to submit to their demands adding that terrorism is a global scourge that must be fought by all actors- the military, civilian population and the communication service providers.

The Presidency called on the media to support government against the exploitation of the internet and social media for terrorist purposes and assured citizens that the President and Commander-In-Chief will continue to support the military with equipments to bring INSECURITY to a stop!

WHAT BUHARI MUST DO WITHIN THE SIX WEEKS OF GRACE TO TERMINATE NATIONAL INSECURITY!

He should dust up all the RECOMMENDATIONS BY GOVERNOR EL-RUFAI’S RESTRUCTURING COMMITTEE ON TRUE FEDERALISM which have been lying on his table for over four years, assemble his legal team to draft them into a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION with which the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), will organise and conduct the 2023 General Elections that will produce a PRIME MINISTER!

Highlights of recommendations include but not limited to STATE POLICE, Derivation Principles, Fiscal Federalism and Revenue Allocation, Devolution of Powers, Resource Control, (exploitation and revenue sharing of resources from oil/minerals), through constitutional amendments, Local Government Autonomy, REFERENDUM to decide serious national or state issues which should be decided by referendum!

Currently Referendum is absent in the Military 1999 Constitution but which insertion in the brand new constitution can be quickly done. INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY which precluded citizens from being forced to join any political party also needs to be inserted!

Legislators can be summoned from their recess by the President to resume and attend to this urgent National issue THIS AUGUST, 2022; discuss, debate and approve the NEW BILL FOR A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION AND ensure that it was concluded and approved for Presidential signature in ONE LEGISLATIVE DAY!
With this bold move, tension will be doused, frayed nerves will be calmed and INSECURITY WILL FRITTER INTO OBLIVION!

Major General Muhammadu Buhari can still save whatever remained of his lost image!

“We will start with domestic flights and then we grow to become International and then we move to become regional and intercontinental.”

The incumbent Nigeria's Minister of Aviation Mr. Hadi Abubakar Sirika was credited with the above statement at the conclusion of the Federal Executive Council Meeting of Wednesday 27th July 2022, when he addressed journalist at the State House, Abuja.
He said that FEC approved the leasing of three aircrafts for the country’s proposed national carrier christened “Nigeria Air”.
Hadi Sirika happens to be one of the Buhari's favorites who had political advantage from Katsina, first as member of the House of Representatives, later a Senator and now two-term Minister of Aviation in the Buhari Administration.

Major General President Muhammadu Buhari has never hidden his agenda of nepotism, despotism and tribalism from his first term in office. He has also surrounded himself with surrogates who would hold allegiance to his oligarchic disposition!
Sirika claimed that the outline of the air business case - an Airbus and Boeings- that would grow the airline within a short period was earlier approved by FEC.
According to him the new airline would start with domestic flights in spite of current challenges in the aviation industry believing that the global phenomenon will not last forever because the aviation industry is a very resilient sector.

HADI SIRIKA PULLED THIS STUNT DURING HIS FIRST TERM IN JULY 2018 BUT FAILED!

While the Nigerian government is saddled with so much debts running into trillions of naira/dollars, Foreign Exchange rate is N710 NAIRA TO ONE DOLLAR, INSECURITY is at its highest and worst peak, and several Airlines across the globe and most especially in Nigeria are being grounded, would it not sound foolhardy for any group of sane persons to believe that the THE FLYING BORROWED KITES IN THE THE AIR SHOULD BE AN ECONOMICALLY VIABLE VENTURE AT THIS AUSTERE PERIOD?
Hadi Sirika, had gullibly deceived President Buhari and FEC that government investment in the contract will be very minimal because private investors will take major shares of the financing.

“NIGERIA AIR” WAS FIRST UNVEILED AT THE UK’S FARNBOROUGH AIR SHOW JULY 2018 WITH THE PLAN TO LAUNCH IT IN DECEMBER OF THE SAME YEAR BY HADI ABUBAKAR SIRIKA!
The over zealous and very ambitious Hadi Sirika who was Minister of State for Aviation unveiled the name “Nigeria Air” while the Deputy Director Media and Public Affairs of the Ministry of Aviation said in that year that the Federal Government chose the name after it engaged over 400,000 people on social media!

The junior minister said on the occasion that a new national air carrier was one of President Buhari's election campaign promise and that the Nigerian government will not own more than 5% because it will be private sector led and driven with the balance of 95% through entrepreneurship investments.

He said at that time that 81 domestic regional and international routes were planned and that the government had been in talks with Airbus SE and Boeing Co about the Nigeria airplanes.
BOOTLICKERS, POLITICAL JOBBERS, SURROGATES AND GOVERNMENT APOLOGISTS ARE COMMONPLACE IN A MILITARY PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM OF NIGERIA BUT NEVER IN A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT LIKE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM!

Hadi Sirika and his ilks have brought Nigeria to its knees economically through dubious but gargantuous non-existent projects that are not beneficial to the masses all in an effort to make illicit gains on the sidelines and keep the masses in perpetual poverty and sufferings!
Was it not high time we all rallied round and recover Nigeria from the evil grips of the enemies of the state by opting for A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT instead of the heavily-monetised and institutionally-corrupt military presidential system?

Please join this campaign for REFERENDUM AND NOT VIOLENT AGITATIONS FOR THE ENACTMENT OF A BRAND NEW UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION THAT WILL INVOLVE GRASSROOT PARLIAMENTARIANS AND PRODUCED A PRIME MINISTER FOR NIGERIA IN THE YEAR 2033 AND NOT A PRESIDENT!

Share on Facebook, Twitter Instagram YouTube Pinterest and other social media and internet facilities. The new Nigeria of our dreams is within our reach!

NINE months into the first term of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Administration in 2015, Major General Muhammadu Buhari worked alone without cabinet ministers but devoted his time to fighting and dislodging Boko Haram terrorist that had taken over 17 Local Government Areas in Borno State North-East Nigeria!

To the credit of the Commander-In-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, his highly professional combatants fought gallantly and succeeded in defeating and completely annihilating them in their hundreds of hundreds as sanity and good governance was restored to the region!

Now seven years into his two-term administration the story had completely changed from bad to worse and worse to worst. The reason is not far-fetched because the Major General appointed for himself dubious lieutenants as ministers, secretary to government, head of service, special assistants special advisers and corruption which he promised fight frontally took over his entire government.

It is true that Buhari inherited terrorism and banditry from his first term but nepotism in appointments which birthed inefficiency, lack of cooperation among service chiefs and their subordinates had worsened the situation of insecurity year-on-year!

BOARDROOM NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL MEETINGS HAVE NOT PROVIDED SOLUTION TO THE INCESSANT TERRORISM!

Whenever terrorists struck and high casualty figures were very devastating, boardroom security experts always met with Mr. Commander-in-Chief to proffer, (most of the time), kinetic solutions which had hardly recorded successes.

Violent conflicts could be resolved on two major planks:
1. Kinetic approach and 2. Non-kinetic option which normally translates to negotiations for peace and tranquility to reign in the polity.
While the first option is the most popular because it involves forceful and physical approach to suppress insurrections and insurgencies because the non-state actors were usually armed and ready for battle instead of engaging in peaceful negotiations.
Although the criminals were never poised to win in any confrontation with legimate government institutions, they were always ready to create anarchy, confusion and instability and most especially fear among the citizens who were usually the casualties of criminalities!

The non-kinetic option involves serious dialogues and negotiations which would get parties from both sides to sit at round table conferences with a view to peacefully resolving such unpleasant situations.

GOVERNMENTS WOULD RATHER NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS ACCORDING TO DIPLOMATIC NORMS.

BUT the United States of America which is the most formidable world power would as a matter of policy never negotiate with terrorists but behind the scenes had always brokered peace and gotten tremendous and meaningful results in most negotiations by descending from its high horse!

Major General Buhari initially took such rigid policy at the beginning of his first tenure by militarily crushing these non-state actors but as they gained empathy from criminal associates which supplied them with arms/ammunitions, within and from without Nigeria, PEACE AND TRANQUILITY eluded the Nation from 2009-2022!

But was it not high time Nigerian leaders realised that the second option would pay off and peace would be secured faster than military arsenals and Tucano Jets acquired with borrowed funds?

Terrorism was unleashed on the nation due to lack of basic amenities of life, uneven distribution of social needs, unemployment of able-bodied citizens, deprivation of quality education for children of school age and bastadization of the IVORY TOWER where University Lecturers have been on INDUSTRIAL STRIKE for over 172 days as at 24th July, 2022, over non-implementation of adequate salaries and emoluments by Buhari's APC GOVERNMENT!

TERRORIST ORGANISATIONS NO LONGER FIGHT ON IDEOLOGICAL PLANKS BUT FOR MASSIVE ACQUISITION OF MONIES PAID THROUGH RANSOMS.

Nigeria Federal Government should realise that they have become the underdogs in this terrorist war on Nigeria for the following reasons:
Terrorist have acquired highly sophisticated and modern weapons that have made nonsense of Nigeria’s military artillery when they successfully attacked strategic government institutions – Correctional Centres, Police Force HQ Abuja, Police Stations across the nation, Military Cantonments, Kaduna Air Force Base/Airport, Abuja-Kaduna train attack and even the PRESIDENTIAL CONVOY!

The Nigerian Armed Forces all put together with the Police and other security operatives are not up to 2 million.

This war of attrition had been on for over 13 years and had overstretched the entire military and other security personnel.
1) Buhari should take advantage of individual negotiations by some patriotic Nigerians to find a lasting solution to the imbriglio.
2) The terrorist are also tired of the insecurity situation because they also love good Life and Peace; the life of hide and seek in the forest has become unbearable.
3) Terrorists, bandits and kidnappers will embrace peace with the right leadership in place.
4) Terrorists who were an “army of occupation “ for almost five years under Jonathan's administration, lived large in various local governments of the North East, collected taxes and oppressed the innocent citizens in most of the remote areas are still haunted and would prefer to live normal lives.
5) These enemies of the State also want to partake in the NATIONAL CAKE in order to enjoy better life therefore Nigeria technocrats should enter into dialogue to finally broker the conflict so that PEACE will reign supreme in Nigeria in the long run!

HOW IS DE-RADICALIZATION DIFFERENT FROM AMNESTY WHICH THE BUHARI GOVERNMENT HAD BROKERED SINCE HIS SECOND TERM WITH SURRENDERED BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS?

Not less than ONE MILLION Boko Haram Terrorists and members of their families have surrendered to the Armed Forces in the last three years of the second term of Mr President Buhari and all of them have been profiled, counselled and re-integrated into the society.
Majority of them are doing well because they have repented and now enjoying family life, good working environments having gone through vocational training and dwelling at peace with their neighbours in their various places of domicility.

These New Nigerians had blended and have been accommodated into the societies which now celebrate naming ceremonies, school graduation and vocational apprenticeship convocations together with them!

WHAT IS THE HUE AND CRY IN RESPECT OF HOW ZAMFARA EMIR TURBANED A NOTORIOUS TERRORIST ON SATURDAY 16 JULY 2022?

If terrorists and bandits could frolic with Governors, Emirs and State Cabinet members, what then is the big deal If one of them who was declared wanted by the POLICE as a notorious and ruthless criminal was turbaned as SARKIN FULANI OF YANDOTON EMIRATE IN ZAMFARA STATE, NORTH-WEST NIGERIA?

According to media reports the terrorist kingpin known as Ada Aleru was notorious for his ruthlessness while he operated his militia group in Zamfara State where thousands of people have been killed.
But the Emir was quoted as saying that the terrorist gang leader was turbaned as chief to ensure a lasting peace in his area of authority.

Over 100 terrorists who rode on motorcycles accompanied their leader to the ceremony where money was lavishly spent and over 17 cows and several rams slaughtered to entertain guests on the occasion.
The question is: WERE the policemen or the Commissioner of Police who issued warrant of arrest on the terrorist kingpin on annual leave while the ceremony took place for several hours?

THIS IS GOOD LESSON FOR BUHARI'S GOVERNMENT TO KNOW THAT THE MILITARY PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM HAS WOEFULLY FAILED AND THE ONLY OPTION FOR HIM NOW IS TO THROW IN THE TOWEL BY EMBRACING THE PROPOSED UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION THAT WILL PRODUCED A PRIME MINISTER IN THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION OF FEBRUARY 2023!

The President who is a good soldier should know when the chips are down and accept the new PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT which will give opportunity to everyone to have A STAKE IN GOVERNANCE FROM THE GRASSROOTS up to the Central government as representatives, parliamentarians and even as INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES to guarantee lasting PEACE!
It's not too late for the old General to leave a good legacy behind as he hands over on 29th May 2023, to a PRIME MINISTER of the ELECTORATES' CHOICE!

“ A stitch in time saves nine!”

THE NIGERIAN JUDICIARY MUST OCCUPY IT'S PRIDE OF PLACE IN SPITE OF EXECUTIVE WICKEDNESS!

The Judiciary in every democracy should rightfully occupy a position of honour, integrity and respect in view of its enormous and uncommon responsibility in the adjudication of law, order, justice, equity and fair play within the polity.

Nigerian administrators claim to carry out all government duties through three structural arms namely the executive, legislature and the judiciary; but visibly negates the importance of maintenance of law and order through the law courts according to its grundnom, the 1999 Constitution!

Most prominent of the three are the first two which deliberately overshadow the judiciary which is constitutionally saddled with all legal jurisprudence which include but not limited to the following:
1) ensuring human rights adjudication,
2) interpretation and application of laws,
3) role in law-making,
4) equity legislation,
5) protection and guardian of the spirit and letters of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999,
6) Power to get its decisions and judgments enforced etc.

The Judiciary as an arbiter between the executive and the legislature and also the protector of Human Rights abuses as often meted to the citizens through maladministration is also rightly described as “THE LAST HOPE OF THE COMMON MAN!”

The roles, functions and powers of the judiciary are exercised through the courts of law, tribunals and judicial officers from the customary (inclusive of “Sharia”), through to the magistrate, high courts and finally to the Supreme Court!

The Judiciary should be the most powerful arm of government because of its arbitration duties but that is not the position in Nigeria!

MEMOIRS ON DELIBERATE BASTARDIZATION OF THE JUDICIARY IN THE PAST 22 YEARS OF NIGERIA'S NASCENT DEMOCRACY!

Beginning from Olusegun Obasanjo's Administration to Muhammadu Buhari the current Major General President of Nigeria, the Judiciary has suffered untold persecutions due to executive intervention in judicial adjudication in areas of sponsored crimes, criminalities and most especially institutional corruption!

The Judges were neither respected nor revered for their impartial role of arbitration in the daily dispensation of justice as members of the Bench but were made subservient and always manipulated to submission especially to the Executive which pays their salaries, allowances and other emoluments.

During President Buhari's first term- October 2016, senior Judges including those of the Supreme Court were humiliated to submission through the instrumentality of the Department of State Security (DSS) in a STING OPERATION which “EXPOSED” them as corrupt officers of the law!

However most of the educated citizenry condemned the humiliation of the learned judges of the LEARNED PROFESSION because Judges Disciplinary Body, the National Judicial Council (NJC), was deliberately sidelined and after all hues and cries, the matter was resolved in favour of the judges who were tried and freed by their colleagues!

Judges Welfare Is Nothing To Extol!

In spite of their enormous responsibilities judges have not been well treated by successive governments in Nigeria. The story was told of a judge who was retired and one week later was evicted from his official quarters by law enforcement agents and his properties thrown out into the streets!

Judges salaries and allowances all put together never totalled One million naira per month and had to be solicited from the Executive as if they were being favoured!
And whereas, the THREE ARMS of government according to the Constitution should work as a team to ensure good governance and sovereignty to the people of Nigeria to whom it rightly belongs.

The Federal Republic of Nigeria is a state based on the principles of democracy and social justice and therefore the security and welfare of the people should always be the primary purpose of a United government of Nigeria.

Retired Chief Justice Tanko Muhammad!

The erstwhile Head of the Judiciary Tanko Mohammed who resigned his position in June 2022 following very serious allegations of maladministration and financial impropriety levelled against him unlike his predecessor Walter onnoghen threw in the towel honorably as he claimed deteriorating health for his departure from the Bench. However it is worthy of note that 14 Justices of the Supreme Court who made the allegations were waiting for disciplinary administrative process through the NJC, but he aborted the move through his resignation.
Justice tanko Mohammed who was appointed 25th January 2019 and was due to retire by the end of the year 2023 which was 18 months early.

Although there is an uneasy calm in the Judiciary for now because the President Major General Buhari nominated the most senior in rank to step in as acting Chief Justice of the Federation while Nigerians wait patiently for all allegations against the retired Çhief Justice to be investigated.

Some of the allegations by the 14 Justices of the Supreme Court include but not limited to the following: lack of accountability, poor work environment, incompetence, lack of IT DATA and electricity to perform their duties in spite of an allocation of NGN120 billion naira to the judiciary in the 2022 budget. Etc.

PROVIDENTIAL INTERVENTION OF NEW SALARY REGIME THROUGH THE NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL COURT!

Sequel to the suit earlier filed by a legal practitioner Sebastian Hon, Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), to seek a salary increase for Nigerian Judges, Nigerian Judges will remember Friday 15th July 2022 with nostalgia as they reminiscence over the ruling of the Justice of the National Industrial Court (NIC), who ordered the immediate payment of ₦GN10 million Naira monthly to the Chief Justice and NGN9 million to other judges of Supreme Court provided President Buhari would direct immediate compliance to the Court order! The increase embraces the entire Judiciary.
The Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), the Attorney-general of the Federation and Minister of Justice (AGF), and the National Judicial Commission (NJC),were to comply with the directive of the court immediately.
In her judgement the court held that by the combined interpretation of Section 4 (1 (2) of the 1999 Constitution as amended and the First Schedule of 6 (1b) and the RMAFC Act 2004, that the first and second defendants did not have the power to neglect by failing to perform their constitutional and statutory duties of reviewing judges salaries since 2008.

The Judge also ordered and upward review of the salaries of the affected judicial workers every year or at most every two years. She also awarded a NGN500, 000, naira judgement cost in favour of the claimant to be paid by the first second and third respondents.

The honourable Jurist held that there was abundant evidence to support the claims that the current salaries of judges and justices which were last reviewed in the year 2008 no longer reflect modern realities owing to the devaluation of the naira the exchange rate and the general economic downturn.

She also held that such negligence impoverished the judicial officers and subjected them to embarrassment which situation was tantamount a national shame and that efforts by the National Assembly and the National Judicial Council to have an out-of-court settlement failed.

SHOULD TANKO MUHAMMAD BE DECORATED WITH THE SECOND HIGHEST NATIONAL HONOUR OF GRAND COMMANDER OF THE ORDER OF NIGER (GCON), CONSIDERING THE WEIGHTY ALLEGATIONS OF MALADMINISTRATION AND CORRUPTION LEVELLED AGAINST HIM?

Shortly after his retirement as Chief Justice of Nigeria in June 2022, Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad was conferred with the second to the highest honour of Grand Commander of the Order of Niger by President Major General Buhari who showered him lavishly with accolades) encomiums, shortly after the swearing-in of the acting CCJ Justice Olukayode Ariwoola at the Aso Rock Villa Abuja.

Was that show of addicted nepotism and insensitivity to the collective sensibilities of Nigerians necessary? Was retired Chief Justice Walter Onnoghen so honoured? Why was the norm of “what is good for the goose is good for the gander” not applicable to both men who retired under abnormal circumstances?
WE ARE AWARE THAT MAJOR GENERAL BUHARI IS EAGER TO RETURN TO HIS HOME TOWN DAURA, KATSINA STATE BUT HE MUST FULFILL HIS MANIFESTO TO IMPROVE THE ECONOMY, ALLEVIATE POVERTY, CRUSH INSECURITY ETC, WITHIN THE NEXT TEN MONTHS TERMINATING ON 29TH MAY 2023 AND GIVE ACCOUNT OF HIS STEWARDSHIP TO ALL CITIZENS OF NIGERIA AND TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD WHO GAVE TO HIM AND UNDESERVED OPPORTUNITY!

“But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.” Amen.

THIS JULY 2022 MUST BIRTH INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES TO SAVE NIGERIA FROM CRASHING TO GROUND ZERO!

It is no longer news that Nigeria has the worst ratings in all international index classifications as regards good governance, economy, human rights protection, compulsory basic education, provision of affordable health facilities, unbridled insecurity, insurgency/terrorism, large-scale institutional corruption, etc, because of the unbroken chain of accursed selfish leadership of 62 years!

What is news is that these last set of evil leaders from 1999 to date discovered that the inherited military constitution was anathema to good governance but deliberately continued to operate the document for their own gain in order to amass illicit wealth and seamlessly siphoned gagantuous sums of monies from the porous financial system with arrogant IMPUNITY! The PANACEA to this dilemma is for the existing PRESIDENCY, GOVERNORSHIP and LEGISLATURE STRUCTURES AT THE NATIONAL, STATES and the GRASSROOTS 774 LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCILS TO BE DISMANTLED FOR A PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THROUGH THE URGENT CONVOCATION OF REFERENDUM IN REPLACEMENT!
INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY WAS ONE OF THE MAJOR RECOMMENDATIONS OF GOVERNOR EL-RUFAI'S COMMITTEE ON RESTRUCTURING OF NIGERIA AS A TRUE FEDERALISM.

In August 2017 the All Progressives Congress (APC,), set up a 23-Man Committee on True Federalism which was headed by Kaduna State Governor Mallam Nasir El Rufai, which was scheduled to analyse various national conferences especially that of Jonathan’s 2014 and bring up recommendations to restructure the country. According to reports, the Committee engaged 8,014 people across the country and came up which 24 issues which Nigerians indicated interest.

Within FOUR MONTHS on 25th January 2018, a comprehensive report was handed over to former National Chairman of APC Chief John Oyegun who promised that by the middle of February 2018, all structures of the party would meet and consider the report so that the National Executive Council which is the caucus of the party will be able to decide on all salient issues.

At the time of this publication the Committee's report was still gathering dust on the table of Major General Muhammadu Buhari who set up the committee but disagreed with all the lofty recommendations MOST IMPORTANTLY THE ISSUE OF STATE POLICE WHICH SHOULD PROTECT LOCAL INDIGENES AT THE GRASSROOTS!

Between January 2018 and July 2022 a period of four and a half years, not less than 500,000 Nigerians (without exaggeration), have lost their lives to the large scale insecurity perpetrated by Fulani Herdsmen, Boko Haram terrorists, bandits, gunmen, Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), terrorists, Eastern Network Security (a terrorist arm of IPOB)!
Also among the mercenaries are the Islamic State of West Africa (ISWAP), terrorists, kidnappers, assassins etc, who had been on the rampage in Nigeria because of the insensitivity of one man, just one man who happens to be opportuned to become the president of Nigeria from 2015 to date and will not listen to any advice for any quarters.

There are cacophony of Voices calling for the resignation of this senile man to whom the sanctity of life means nothing.

This is the same man who had told the whole world that Nigeria has ANCIENT GRAZING ROUTES through which Fulani Herdsmen MUST continue to ply even when such routes have been overtaken by 21st century global civilisation which operates TRUCKS TRANSPORTATION OF CATTLES! BUT the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT of Nigeria values Cows more than its Citizens and had always defended cattle rearers and the nomadic clan wherever they are domicile all over Nigeria.

In 2018 January fresh massacres of innocent farmers and rural dwellers began in Benue State like wildfire and spread to Plateau and Kaduna State and eventually engulfed virtually all Geo-Political Zones of the country!

GOVERNOR EL RUFAI’S RECOMMENDATION ON INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY!

“We have included in the BIII that no one that wants to run as an INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE should not be a member of any political party six months to the election. We have put enough safeguards in our recommendations to ensure that independent candidacy is not the platform for opportunism.”
This recommendation was sequel to the fact that during the wide consultations, majority of respondents were opposed to independent candidacy but members believed that the APC Government should support INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES as their inclusion would widen the political space.

Governor EL-RUFAI’S four-and-half-years COMMITTEE’S Recommendation on Independent Candidacy is very expedient now to resolve the recalcitrance of BUHARI’S Government to resolve all RESTRUCTURING AGITATIONS through the application of REFERENDUM.

JULY 2022 TO FEBRUARY 2023 IS PRECISELY SEVEN MONTHS TO ANOTHER GENERAL ELECTIONS AND THE FOLLOWING STEPS MUST BE URGENTLY TAKEN WITH THE REFERENDUM’S “YES OR NO” FORMAT TO SAVE NIGERIA FROM FALLING OFF THE PRECIPICE!

1) A Referendum Bill (private or public), should be forwarded immediately to the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY for immediate consideration and passage THIS JULY to prepare for public participation in resolving all restructuring agitations for true federalism without further bloodshed!
2) A brand new UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION should be urgently drafted to suit Nigeria’s Local Environment and handed over to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to conduct the 2023 General Elections.
3) Independent CANDIDATES who are compliant to the six-month non-political partisanship recommendation should be allowed to join all accredited candidates to vie in all ELECTIVE OFFICES at the 2023 General Elections that will produce Representatives, Parliamentarians and a PRIME MINISTER!

STATE OF THE NATION!

The Nigerian State is experiencing the worst kind of insecurity which kept escalating day by day. Kidnapping offer ministers of God and attack on church congregations have been on the increase since the beginning of 2022. While some were released after payment of ransoms, others were murdered in cold blood.

Some State Governors have encouraged their citizens to apply firearms with which to defend themselves in view of the increasing number of massive attacks on the citizenry across cities, towns and villages in the Northern and Southern parts of the Nation!

Early THIS JULY an attack was carried out on the advance convoy of the President Buhari in his home State, Katsina! Within 24 hours of that attack the medium Correctional Centre in Kuje a suburb of the Federal Capital Territory was also attacked and over 600 inmates including 64 high-profile BOKO HARAM suspects were set free without resistance.

According to reports there were no intelligence information before the attack, CCTV cameras at the facility were inactive, there were no DRONES to detect the approach of the attackers neither were no SATELLITE images of stealthy movement of the ISWAP Terrorists which numbered about 300!

THE PEOPLE ARE ANGRY AND ARE DEMANDING THAT MAJOR GENERAL BUHARI RESIGN!

Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), is demanding that Mr Buhari should resign or be impeached over his alleged perennial failure to take decisive actions on terrorist.
In a statement, National Coordinator of the body said that Buhari's government is lackadaisical in view of the spate of terrorist attacks in the country and have virtually turned the country into another Afghanistan.

The group also said that Kaduna State farmers have paid ₦GN400 million Naira as protective fees to FULANI TERRORIST in the state in order to be able to farm their lands. According to them since Buhari's Administration from 2015, about 15 jailbreaks have been recorded with over 3,400 inmates released to continue to terrorize the nation. It said Buhari has failed Nigerians and it was time for him resign or be impeached!

NIGERIA HAS UNFORTUNATELY FOUND ITSELF IN THE HANDS OF EVIL LEADERS BUT THE TIME IS RIPE FOR CITIZENS TO STAND UP FOR THEIR RIGHTS AND DEMAND FOR A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THAT WILL TERMINATE THE CURRENT SPATE OF INSURGENCY, INSURRECTION AND TERRORISM!

“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
“For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon the.
“And the Gentiles shall come to thy light and kings to the brightness of by rising.
“Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.
“Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.” (Isaiah. 60: 1-5).

[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]

BORIS JOHNSON RESIGNED FOR INCOMPETENCE & MALADMINISTRATION - CAN PRESIDENT BUHARI DO SAME?

The third BREXIT casualty has been recorded through resignation of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson who stepped down as the Conservative Party leader following public outcry in respect of discrepancies in his administration! He was accused of lacking focus, vision, integrity and competence!
David Cameron was the first and Theresa May, the second and to date acceptable terms, conditions and agreements were yet to be concluded for the final severance of Britain's Exit from the European Union (EU), with all his promises during electioneering campaigns.
Tried as he could, he was unable to ward of all the allegations and misconduct leveled against him and a lot of ministers resigned from his cabinet. They all cited the loss of confidence in his leadership.
As at the time of his resignation, over 50 Ministers among the Conservative Party stalwarts and top officials had resigned.
Boris Johnson was said to have been fined along with his merry makers during the first Covid-19 Pandemic Lockdown in 2020 when he held his birthday party while the citizenry died in droves following strict health restrictions which forcefully held the entire population indoors!

The British parliamentary system of government is adjudged to be the best in the world because the founding fathers of the United Kingdom believed in equity, justice, fair play, freedom and equal opportunities for all citizens in spite of ancestral origin or affiliation.
Britain does not boast of a written constitution and yet there had never been any clash of authority in governance because the fundamental rights of the individual are protected by the State through various conventions and treaties.

The British minister elected in 2019 resigned on Thursday 7th July 2022 without much fanfare but with a lot of regrets that he has lost the best office in the world!
In his words, “I want you to know how sad I am giving up the best job in the world, Mr Johnson said in exasperation adding that in politics, NO ONE IS INDISPENSABLE!

JOURNEY TO THE END OF A PRESTIGIOUS APPOINTMENT.

The embattled British Prime Minister was accused of insensitivity for partying with some of his Conservative Party friends at 10 Downing Street, during Covid-19 Pandemic Lockdown in 2020 and also for the current economic hardships faced by Britions.
Inflation rose sharply to almost two digits in 2022 and is currently at over nine per cent which he could not reverse because he injected the wrong palliatives of hikes on petrol pump price and National Insurance Scheme package.

CAN PRESIDENT BUHARI RESIGN LIKE BORIS JOHNSON?

Before the close of his first term in office,public outcry against institutional corruption, impunity in government, wastages in administration, banditry, terrorism, insurgency, massive attacks on public strategic institutions drowned the seat of government in ASO ROCK but President Buhari remained unmoved!
Between Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th July 2022, the advance Presidential Convoy in Katsina, was attaked by terrorists and also the Islamic state of West Africa Province (ISWAP), attacked the Kuje Custodial Centre in Abuja FEDERAL CAPITAL TERRITORY, released over 800 of the 994 inmates and killed at least four persons in the process!
President buhari did not cancel his scheduled visit to Dakar Senegal on the day in question neither has he resigned from office to date.

THE TIME TO EMBRACE THE PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA IS NOW!
In a parliamentary system of government there is no hiding place for bad leaders who's only stock-in-trade is self-aggrandizement, corruption, maladministration and impunity!
IN NIGERIA'S KIND OF PRESIDENCY CORRUPT SIT-TIGHT LEADERS KEEP THE CITIZENS IN PERPETUAL SLAVERY WITH FALSE PROMISES AND MANIFESTOES FOR A BETTER LIFE WHICH HAD NEVER BEEN KEPT FROM 1960 2022!

This July 2022 all patriotic NIGERIAN YOUTHS, and concerned WOMEN should rise in unison to vote in a REFERENDUM that will provide a brand new UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION with which INEC will conduct the 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS THAT WILL PRODUCE A PRIME MINISTER FOR NIGERIA!
With a PRIME MINISTER the Nigeria of our dream will emerge and all issues of INSECURITY, POVERTY, INSURGENCY AND TERRORISM will come to an abrupt end.


I am, yours sincerely, Dr. David B.A. Olufon, 08130669886, 08080243066. G-mail-dvdolufon@gmail.

The genesis of Ahmed Tinubu’s emergence as APC’s presidential flag bearer for the 2023 General Elections is traceable to the hop, step and jump failure of retired Major General Buhari in the 2003 2007 and 2011 Presidential Elections which broke the camel's back and shattered the soldier's dream of ever becoming a civilian president!

“OLULE” is a compound Yoruba word (Olu Ile), meaning, “Buhari fell” in the three elections until he Tinubu went to his rescue with assurance that he would win at the fourth attempt in 2015!

Before Tinubu’s tactical intervention, the angry and very bitter Buhari threatened in a television interview to rain fire, brimstones and bloodshed on the entire masses of Nigeria if the 2011 Presidential Election was rigged! He lost and true to his threat his fanatical supporters went berserk, killed, maimed, looted and touched hundreds of vehicles and immovable properties across most Northern cities.! According to Ahmed Tinubu in a statement delivered at a political gathering in Ogun State before the Abuja All Progressives Congress presidential “delegates convention”, he encouraged Buhari and assured him that he would support him to win and become president in 2015, with his (Tinubu’s) succinct support and motivation. He said he also promised to deliver all of the South West votes en-mass to Buhari BUT that at the end of his tenure it would be his (Tinubu’s) turn to rule the nation because he had faithfully served for 25 years without requesting for any favours!



TINUBU SAID BUHARI WEPT ON TV OVER ELECTION LOSSES!

Major General Buhari according to Tinubu wept bitterly on a national television station over his election failures and swore not to contest again but he encouraged him not to give up.
The 2011 Presidential elections was held on 16th April 2011, but two days to that election, retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari who was the flag bearer of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), organised his final presidential campaign at the International Conference Centre, Abuja where he announced that he was retiring from politics at the conclusion of that election. But the move was apparently a manipulation to incense his supporters who would not agree that he should throw in the towel because he was a hero to them!

In his address which was titled, “Creating Hope For the Future”, he said he was encouraged that the turn out was more encouraging than the previous two elections of 2003 and 2007 adding that he was convinced of victory. He also said that the campaign which was the third in the series would be the last one and that he would not present himself again for election into the office of president. However he alluded that in his first two outings he was rigged out and that all his supporters must be present during the counting and collation of the votes and also the announcement of the results.
“Because you haven't done this in all past cases you allowed them to turn your victories into defeats “he concluded with tears running down his face while lamenting over the intractable and multi-faceted problems which confronted the nation! He lost the election and within three days, violence which erupted in the North recorded about 800 deaths and thousands of innocent displaced citizens in the North East, West and Central parts of the country!



IN SPITE OF THE BLOODSHED THAT GREETED BUHARI'S LOSS IN THE 2011 ELECTIONS HE STILL BOASTED THAT “2015 WILL BE BLOODY IF ELECTION WAS NOT TRANSPARENT”!

Buhari complained bitterly about election rigging during his outing in 2011 and warned that should such happen again in 2015 by the grace of God “The dog and the baboon will all be soaked in blood!” In a BBC interview in May 2012 Buhari who spoke in Hausa while addressing members of the now defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), from Niger State who paid him courtesy visit in Kaduna commented on insecurity especially BOKO HARAM insurgency and described the Federal Government under the watch of Dr. Ebele Jonathan as the “the biggest Boko Haram”! He also said, “by 2015, God willing something would definitely happen. They either conduct a free and fair election or they go a very disgraceful way”

However the spokesperson for the Congress of Progressive Change explained that the dogs and baboons statement credited to Buhari wasn't calling for bloodshed but it was a classical Hausa idiom.

He explained that the phrase was an idiomatic expression which does not give the exact meaning when the words are put together. He also said that the reference to soaking dogs and baboons in blood was not calling for bloodshed but an idiomatic expression regularly used in Hausa language!



BUHARI WAS NO DOUBT A DESPERADO WHO WOULD USURP POWER AT THE EXPENSE OF THE BLOODSHED OF THE SAME TALAKAWAS WHOM HE PROFESSES TO LOVE!

It did not take long for Buhari to be exposed that he only wanted to prove that he also could attain or surpass the post- military achievements of his former superior like General Aremu Obasanjo and especially Ibrahim Babangida who ousted him from office as the only Head of State that spent only 23 months in office! In over seven years of BUHARI’S ADMINISTRATION, 2015-2022, CORRUPTION has walked on its head BUT he kept blaming 16 years of PDP maladministration for his own lapses.

We have said it over and over again that Nigerians citizens must be the worst sinners in the world to have been persistently governed by crooked politicians/heartless soldiers who have turned them into 10th class citizens in the own country. Buhari's ambition blinded him to promise Ahmed Tinubu who had been a dubious politician from all ramifications that he would hand over the Nigerian State on a platter of gold to him because of monetary gains which he got in his desperation to become Nigeria's president at all cost in 2015?.
Must Nigerians watch helplessly when when have the solution to rescue this nation from Buhari and his cohorts through a PUBLIC BILL FOR THE ENACTMENT INTO LAW THE INSTRUMENT OF REFERENDUM THROUGH WHICH WE CAN ALL DECIDE


WHAT IS BEST FOR THE NATION?

Buhari's government had been the most insensitive administration since 1999 to date. Buhari and his cohorts took all decisions that promote their hidden agendas of nepotism, tribalism, religious bigotry etc, and never listened to superior arguments from technocrats, professionals and cerebrals that abound among the citizens! There is not one single promise in his manifesto that have been fulfilled to date. The country has no regular power supply, hospitals are mere consulting centres, no portable water for the citizenry and insecurity has kept the farmers away from meaningful farming engagements,. Tertiary institutions are closed for over 140 days because University Lecturers had been on strike and over 15.5 million out-of-school children are roaming the streets! Terrorist and bandits increase by the day and kidnapping had become a lucrative industry in Nigeria.

Buhari government revels in impunity and resists all forms of opposition believing that it is insulated from any form of accountability! His penchant include, GLOBETROTTING, MEDICAL TOURISM AND BORROWINGS FROM INTERNATIONAL BODIES & GOVERNMENTS!

IT'S TIME TO CLOSE RANKS AND JETTISON THE PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA FOR A PARLIAMENTARY UNICAMERAL CONSTITUTION AND PRODUCE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES THAT ARE WELL QUALIFIED TO BECOME GRASSROOT PARLIAMENTARIANS FROM AMONG WHOM A PRIME MINISTER WILL EMERGE IN THE 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS!

Nigeria cannot remain on the chessboard of Buhari/Tinubu Coalition. It was high time that the DUO is challenged before the United Nations and the International Criminal Commission (ICC), at the Hague for quick intervention so that the country will not explode suddenly through the worst corruption at the highest level in government.
THE SET TIME FOR COLLECTIVE ACTION IS NOW! BIPARTISAN POLITICS MUST BE ENCOURAGED TO SAVE NIGERIA FROM POLITICAL PREDATORS!

CONSPIRACY FOR PERPETUAL RULERSHIP OVER NIGERIA BY VERY CORRUPT MONEY-BAGS HAS HIT THE ROCKS!

At the conclusion of 16 consecutive years of the Peoples Democratic Party’s administration in 2015, the whole world condemned PDP as the worst government Nigeria ever had because of the intensity of squandimania, large-scale corruption through imposition of oligarchy, non-inclusion, tribalism, nepotism, despotism and institutional impunity that dominated governance at all levels from 1999-2015!
The All Progressives Congress – a merger of Five political parties that defeated PDP promised a drastic change from the past and a focus on the downtrodden who were completely disenfranchised from all sectors of government but that was not to be!
Within a few months of APC administration, the politicians began to jump ship from PDP into the ruling party and in no time the new party swarmed with the failed PDP members and the corruption which was universally condemned reared its ugly head again!

It is therefore no wonder that the most corrupt country and poverty capital of the world has now thrown up Atiku and Tinubu respectively as 2023 presidential candidates of the two major parties and has become a laughing stock among the comity of nations but the story has to change!
Righteous Nigerians are more than the few who had held the country by the jugular all in the name of politics to disembowel the riches/wealth of the entire population for themselves, their cronies and members of their families!
The All Progressives Congress ,(APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are the same set of politicians who had brought nothing but shame and disgrace to a nation that God designated to be The Shining Star of Africa and from which other smaller countries of the black continent would benefit economically to prosper their people but they will not succeed!

A RENEGADE COUNTRY CAN ONLY PRODUCE DUBIOUS CANDIDATES – A TALE OF TWO SUSPECT BILLIONAIRES!

God cannot be deceived, whatsoever a man sows, that he shall surely reap because God has sovereignty over His Creation and Will surely bring judgement upon the Wicked!

APC SUSPECT BILLIONAIRE – ALHAJI AHMED ‘BOLA TINUBU. – (70 YEARS).

Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu according to Wikipedia is a Nigerian accountant and politician who has been national leader of the All Progressives Congress since the parties formation in 2013.
He previously served as the 12th Governor of Lagos State from 1999-2007 and Senator for Lagos West during the brief Third Republic.

EARLY EDUCATION: He was born 29th March 1952 in Lagos. He attended Saint John's Primary School Aroloya, Lagos and Children’s Home School in Ibadan Southwest Nigeria.
Tinubu then went to the United States in 1975 where is studied first at Richard J. Daley College in Chicago in Illinois and then at Chicago State University. He graduated in 1979 with a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting.
Tinubu worked for the American companies Arthur Andersen, Deloitte, Haskins and Sells, and GTE Services Corporation. After returning to Nigeria in 1983 Bola Tinubu joined Mobil Oil Nigeria and later became and executive of the company.

POLITICAL CAREER: His political career began in 1992 when he joined the Social Democratic Party (SDP) where he was a member of the People’s Font faction led by Shehu Musa Yar’adua, Atiku Abubakar, Baba Gana Kingibe, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Abdullahi Aliyu Sumaila, Magaji Abdullahi, ‘Dapo Sarumi and ’Yomi Edu.
After the results of the June 12 1993 Presidential elections were annulled Tinubu became a founding member of the pro-democracy and national democratic coalition a group which mobilised support for the restoration of democracy and recognition of Moshood Abiola as winner of the June 12 election.
Following the seizure of power as military head of state of General Sani Abacha, he went into exile in 1994 and returned to the country in 1998 after the death of the military dictator which ushered in the transition to the Fourth Nigerian Republic.
In the run-up to the 1999 General Elections ‘Bola Tinubu was a protege of Alliance for Democracy (AD), leaders, Abraham adesanya and Ayo Adebanjo.
He went on to win the AD Primaries for the Lagos State governorship elections in defeating ‘Funso Williams and Wahab Dosumu, a former Minister of Works and Housing.
In January 1999 he stood for the position of Governor of Lagos State on the AD ticket and was elected governor.

CORRUPT LEADERSHIP: Tinubu's political career was embroiled in all manner of allegation of corrupt practices, mismanagement of funds and high-handedness in picking surrogates to fill political offices as an acclaimed Godfather of Lagos politics. During the 2019 election a bullion van was seen entering Tinubu’s residence on Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi, Lagos and following public outcry he said he could keep money anywhere he wanted!

PSEUDO EDUCATION CREDENTIALS & FRAUDULENT COLLECTION OF TAXES BY PROXY COMPANY – ALPHA BETA CONSULTING!

The most controversial accusations against Bola Ahmed Tinubu have to do with his educational credentials and his involvement in a private tax-collecting firm known as ALPHA BETA (allegedly owned by Tinubu) which collects Taxes on behalf of Lagos State Government in spite of the existence of the State’s Inland Revenue Services!
Alpha Beta is paid monthly commissions which has just been increased in January 2022 from ₦GN800m to ₦GN2.5, billion by Babajide SanwoOlu, the incumbent surrogate Governor of Lagos State in spite of court litigation by a former managing director of the consulting firm!

PDP SUSPECT BILLIONAIRE – ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR. – (75 YEARS).

Atiku Abubakar was Vice President to Olusegun Obasanjo from 1999 to 2007 but the marriage was not without controversies because of the inordinate ambition of the former to take over reins of power from his principal during 2003 the presidential election.
In the run-up to the 2019 Presidential Election, Atiku who was PDP flag-bearer ranted to everyone who cared to listen that on assumption of office as President of Nigeria he would not only sell the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), to satisfy his whim and caprice and would use the deal to enrich his friends because of his obsessive ideology that “government has no business in doing business.” He also boasted that he would sack the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Governor and replace him with one of his cronies!
During his tenure as Vice President he was the constitutional chairman of the National Economic Council (NEC) and eventually sold almost all critical assets of the Nigerian nation to dubious business concerns under the guise of PRIVATIZATION.
Atiku and an Italian businessman Gabriel Volpi, are co-owners of a business company called Integrated Logistics Services (INTELS), which was strategically positioned at the Lagos/Onne Seaports since the year 1982 to collect revenues for the Federal Government.
Although iINTELS is supervised by the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), this OIL and GAS COMPANY also collect revenue on behalf of the Nation in the South-South Rivers State.
Onne Port which account for about 70% of cargo exports through Nigeria’s waterways is the melting pot for Oil and Gas free zone where iINTELS had for 17 years made billions of US dollars for Atiku and his foreign partner in violation to Sections 80 (1) and 162 (1) and (10) of the Nigerian Constitution!
Atiku was a Custom Officer of 20 years experience to become a Deputy Director and was able to build around himself a wealthy Empire through the Nigerian Ports and in spite of the billions of dollars he accumulated in the process, he still wanted to join oil and gas from NNPC to his wealth! He retired in 1989 and became full time businessman and politician!
It is not certain whether Atiku's INTELS has paid a debt of USD$48million revenue collected on behalf of the Federal Government since 2018 into the Treasury Single Account (TSA), but widely circulated that his major source of stupendous wealth accrued from INTELS which he code-named his “side-hustle” while in paid government service. The company is into shipping and logistics services in several ports in the country and expanded to several African countries.
Atiku claims that his company has been involved in several corporate social responsibility initiatives which included scholarships for technical studies and training of young Nigerian footballers and sponsoring local football leagues.

BRIBERY ALLEGATIONS AGAINST ATIKU!

While in office as Vice President, the United States authorities accused Atiku of a bribery scandal involving William Jefferson, former US Congressman in 2004 and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), officers were drafted to Nigeria to investigate the allegation that he demanded a bribe of $500,000 to facilitate the award of contracts to 22 American Telecommunication firms in Nigeria!
In January 2019, the Federal Government said it had fresh evidence of corruption against Atiku and that he had questions to answer in connection with an alleged ₦GN156 million naira slush fund that he took from the bank through Claremont Management Services account on 13th January 2009. APC’s Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed made the allegation in an interactive interview with State House correspondents!

IT IS NOT A CONSPIRACY THEORY THAT MONEY-BAGS OF BOTH PARTIES HAVE SHAMELESSLY FLEECED THE NATION AND ARE SHAMELESSLY UNREPENTANT!
How could they be so brazen to show their corrupt faces on primaries ballots with the succinct connivance of unscrupulous DELEGATES? They should be under investigation by EFCC in preparation for the courts!
They are in for shocks because 2023 Elections will produce a PRIME MINISTER through a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION!

[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]

Field operations of the Independent National Electoral Commission had always been hampered by inadequate staff strength – majority of whom were usually ad hoc since inception in 1999.
Shortly before the 2019 general elections INEC Chairman recruited ONE MILLION (1 million), ad hoc personnel workforce which he insured to augment its a little over 16,000 staff strength which was most inadequate!
Most of the ad hoc staff were drawn from the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), to ensure that the integrity of polls would not be compromised nor elections manipulated by unscrupulous politicians who were always bent on rigging elections in their favour.
Precisely on 28th June 2021, INEC deployed 5,346 personnel to 2,673 registration centres for Continuous Voters Registration (CVR) which resumed nationwide.

To further facilitate smooth registration the chairman introduced INEC Voter Enrolment Device (IVED), and also an online registration portal for the exercise during a meeting with media executives.
IVED - an Android tablet was to be substituted in place of the existing Data Capturing Machine used for CVR in previous exercises.
Previously, INEC had 1,446 registration centres where it registered 14.2 million voters between 2017 and 2018 but eventually doubled the centres, to harvest 20 million registrants and increase the number of registered voters to 100 million before the February 2023 General Elections.

ITS ONE WHOLE YEAR OF CVR EXCERCISE, YET REGISTRANTS RUSH TO AVOID DISENFRANCHISEMENT!

Continuous Voters Registration (CVR), according to INEC's Timetable should stop 30th June 2022 but due to public outcry, pressure from all stakeholders CSO's, NGO’s, House of Representatives members etc, INEC has agreed to extend the EXCERCISE but not for 60 days as being demanded because the Electoral Time Table would be grossly disrupted!!

On 20th June 2022, an Abuja High Court issued an interim order restraining INEC from going ahead with its plan to end the ongoing voter registration exercise on June 30 in view of an application for an interim injunction by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) and 185 other concerned Nigerians.

WHAT COULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LATE MAD RUSH?

According to INEC most Nigerians were usually nonchalant and lackadaisical to respond in obedience to civc responsibilities or being constitutionally-compliant.
On Saturday 11th June 2022, INEC, YIAGA Africa and the European Union organised a concert to encourage Lagos youths to collect their Permanent Voters Cards (PVC), to avoid DISENFRANCHISEMENT in an effort which has sent strong signals to all Nigerian Youths who have greater population!
A population of over 200 million people is so intimidating to the Independent National Electoral Commission Staff strength of ONE MILLION (including AD HOC)! INEC has become overstretched in its constitutional duties to conduct elections all over the country and for this indisputable reason in every FOUR years thousands of thousands running into millions of the electorate are disenfranchised because of lapses in INEC’S administrative organogram and in most cases elections are labelled as inconclusive.
By all International standards Nigeria cannot be categorised as functional/effective democracy because all governments from 1999 to date had , deliberately adapted the Oligharchy system which shut out majority of the people and deprived them of all basic amenities of life according to the unitary Military Constitution bequeathed to greedy politicians all in the name of A CORRUPT PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM!
In spite of Nigeria's annual population growth of 2.61% according to the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics figures, about 36.6 million ( ie.16.8% aged between 15 and 35), are disenfranchised YOUTHS who have been denied basic education and were completely oblivious of democratic realities or dividends!

ALL UNREGISTERED NIGERIAN YOUTHS SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPEN WINDOW TO REGISTER AND ENSURE THAT THOSE WHO HAVE JUST ATTAINED THE AGE OF 18 SHOULD ALSO REGISTER TO EXERCISE THEIR FRANCHISE IN THE REFERENDUM THAT WILL PRODUCE A BRAND NEW UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION WITH WHICH INEC WILL CONDUCT THE 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS THAT WILL PRODUCE A PRIME MINISTER!

IN SPITE OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY ELECTORAL MALPRACTICES DOMINATED EKITI GUBER ELECTIONS!


The Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), developed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) celebrated its best outing at the just concluded Ekiti Governorship elections on Saturday 18th June 2022 and as a result, collation/counting was accelerated to produce an All Progressives Congress (APC) winner in the early hours of the following day!

Prior to Ekiti, the electoral body had deployed BVAS to Delta and Anambra States in the year 2021 and also to Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in February 2022 in conduct of their constituency, gubernatorial and the Area Council elections respectively. Although the machines performed optimally, complaints from the electorate revealed that some voters experienced delays through malfunctioning. However the Ekiti performance surpassed all expectations.

Thanks to the landmark Presidential assent of the Electoral Amendment Bill of 24th February 2022 which gave more powers to INEC to carry out professional innovations that will improve the electoral process in Nigeria with technology. In time past the legislative arm had brazenly encroached to usurp the CONSTITUTIONAL powers of the Commission in respect of Electoral Time Table and also the Electronic Transmission of Election Results from Wards to INEC Servers at the various State Headquarters!

The coming on board of the Electoral Act 2022 was a divine Intervention which has removed all short comings and discrepancies of the former 2010 Electoral Act!
CLAUSE 3 (3) OF THE ACT PROVIDES THAT ALL FUNDING REQUIRED FOR A GENERAL ELECTION IS RELEASED NOT LATER THAN ONE YEAR BEFORE THE GENERAL ELECTIONS IN ORDER TO PREPARE THE ELECTORAL BODY TO WORK ON LOGISTICS WELL IN ADVANCE OF SUCH ELECTIONS!

The Executive arm of government which had always played the role of the Piper will henceforth through the new Electoral Act relinquished its financial power of appropriation of funds to INEC and place the Commission on FIRST LINE CHARGE in order that it may collect approved funds as at when due without delay to advance preparations of elections.

This year 2022, INEC presented a budget of ₦GN305 billion naira for the 2023 General Elections to the National Assembly out of which it has collected and advance of ₦GN140 billion. BIVAS which now replaces the Smart Card Readers is a transition from the analogue Incident Forms to technology-driven voting process, elimination of multiple voting and ballot box snatching as it ensures speedy electronic transmission of election results from Wards to Local Government Areas and eventually to INEC Servers at the State Headquarters.

Article 50 of the Electoral Act also granted INEC the authority to decide whether election results were transmitted electronically or manually as an independent body.

VOTERS APATHY WAS NOT NOTICED AT EKITI ELECTION.
Political commentators anticipated that there could be voter apathy in the Ekiti election due to the mass shootings of 5th June, 2022, which occurred at a Catholic Church in the city of Owo, Ondo State, which share common boundary with Ekiti State. In the attack, not less than 22 people were killed and about 18 injured during the Sunday worship service!

The election witnessed not less than 75% of voters turnout and the success was adduced to assurance of the safety for participants by the out-going Governor and law enforcement agencies through the deployment of 17,000 security operatives including the EFCC and the Electoral Umpire which promised free, fair, credible, crime-free and peaceful elections. However agents of parties that lost the election claimed that designated polling centres were turned into vote-buying centres and true to that allegation, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), operatives were reported to have arrested some people including five women who were caught in the act of selling their votes.

ASIWAJU AHMED TINUBU ENCOURAGED VOTE-BUYING IN EKITI WHEN HE SAID IN YORUBA: (“TOO BA TEKA, WAA TOWO”) MEANING: EACH THUMB PRINT FOR APC WOULD ATTRACT INSTANT CASH BENEFIT!
Agents of the All Progressives Congress (APC), allegedly bought votes at ₦GN 10,000 naira while Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), paid ₦GN5, 000, and Social Democratic Party (SDP), paid NGN3000!
SERAP CONFIRMS VOTE-BUYING ALLEGATIONS AT EKITI GOVERNORSHIP ELECTIONS AND THREATENS TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION IF INEC DOES NOT TAKE MEASURES TO PROSECUTE THOSE ARRESTED WITHIN SEVEN DAYS (20-26 June 2022)!
It is now in public domain that Vote buying actually took place during the just concluded Ekiti Governorship election according to Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), a credible social critic organisation that has engaged government at both federal and state levels over fraudulent practices and has won several cases in court over the years.

In a letter to INEC, SERAP urged the Electoral Umpire to probe/prosecute allegations of financial inducement by the three Parties mentioned earlier, including criminal acts of intimidation and ballot box snatching without delay and bring to justice anyone who sponsored, aided and abated them. The group also said that wealthy candidates and their sponsors should not be allowed to profit from their crimes through impunity as it is widely believed in Nigeria that crime perpetrators were rarely brought to justice! SERAP also disclosed that negotiations for prices and payments as well as bags of food stuff shared after the votes were cast happened under the watch of INEC adding that it was time to end the buying of democracy by wealthy politicians and their sponsors.
The letter also claimed other electoral malpractices as follows:
“Agents of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Social Democratic Party (SDP), were reportedly involved in buying votes across the state.”
“According to reports agents of three parties in Ward 007, PU 001, Ado LGA offered voters as high as ₦GN10,000 in exchange for their votes” “There are also several reports of ballot box snatching including in polling units with codes 13/05/06/005 and 007 in Ilawe Ward IV, near Saint Patrick's School.”
INEC was reminded that bribery and other offences undermined its ability to discharge its responsibilities under Section 153 of the 1999 Constitution as amended and the Electoral Act 2022.

WILL INEC PASS THE LITMUS TEST?
It is on record that in March 2017, lNEC issued 202 queries to his staff members in connection with election malpractices in response to the interim EFCC report covering election in 16 States! According to INEC Chairman those who were charged Court for such were interdicted and placed on half salary until proven innocent.

In March 2021 a High Court in Akwa Ibom State sentenced a Nigerian Professor Peter Ogbani to three years in prison for election fraud. The court which found the Professor of Soil Science, University of Calabar and a returning officer in the 2019 general elections in Akwa Ibom north-west district, also found him guilty of fraudulent manipulation of election results publishing and announcing of false results to pay 100,000 Naira fine.

Another Professor Ignatius Uduk of Human Kinetics in the Department of Physical and Health Education University of Uyo was also charged for election fraud in Akwa Ibom State in 2019 and also for lying under oath.
IT WAS THE FIRST TIME INEC PROSECUTED PROFESSORS FOR ELECTORAL FRAUD! WILL THE CHAIRMAN PROSECUTE THE EKITI SUSPECTS AS DEMANDED BY SERAP?
Time will definitely tell as Nigerian citizens and the electorate are watching the activities of this electoral umpire with keen interest as we look forward to THE UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION with which INEC will conduct the 2023 General Elections to ELECT A PRIME MINISTER AND NOT A PRESIDENT FOR NIGERIA!

The true INDEPENDENT dividends gained by the Electoral Commission through the 2022 Electoral Act should be utilised to conduct flawless Governorship Election in Osun State (16th July 2022), and the entire country in 2023 and beyond!

NIGERIA'S PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM IS LADEN WITH SEMI- LITERATE LEADERS WHO ARE EDUCATIONALLY UNFRIENDLY!

Not less than Two Million Nigerian students in tertiary institutions have been shut out of school for more than 110 days as at 16th June 2022, due to the continuous strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU); 18.5 million out-of-school children are roaming the streets according to figures released recently by the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF); while more than 60% able-bodied youths remain unemployed!
And the ASUU Strike may continue for another THREE months if Federal government invokes “no work, no pay” policy!

Heinous crimes and criminalities had increased by leaps and bounds making ineffective all efforts by law enforcement agents to curb the trend! Citizens are unsafe anywhere in Nigeria whether at home, in the marketplace, on the highways or at places of worship.
These negative factors point in the direction of consecutive, ineptitude and very corrupt SEMI-LITERATE LEADERSHIP CLASS!

A School Certificate PASS in any subject was sufficient for any aspirant to be constitutionally qualified to run for elections in Nigeria from local Council to Presidency and the politicians were very comfortable with the provision!
The SCHOOL CERTIFICATE of the incumbent Major General President Muhammadu Buhari was subject to litigation up to the Supreme Court because the opposition contender to his office alleged that the certificate presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), before the 2015 General Elections was forged!

And WHEREAS under section 18 (1) of the 1999 Constitution (Educational objectives), (1) Government shall direct it's policy towards ensuring that there are equal and adequate educational opportunities at all levels (2) Government shall strive to eradicate illiteracy and to this end government shall as well as practicable provide (a) Free compulsory and Universal Primary Education (b) Free Secondary Education and (c) Free University Education and (d) Free Adult Literacy Program, BUT Buhari’s APC in SEVEN years failed implementation!

The Nigerian Association of University Teachers founded in 1965 eventually metamorphosed into ASUU in 1978 and HAD since been agitating for good education for all citizens of Nigeria without relenting even during the horrible military aberration in Nigeria. The issues of funding, University Autonomy, Academic Freedom, Earned Academic Allowances, the exclusive University Transparency and Accountability Solution Payment Software and registration of Universities Pension Company, were raised during several negotiations but the Federal and State Governments always failed to implement MOUs!

In 2001 ASUU organised a nationwide strike to protest against the decadence at the tertiary level of education which included lack of basic infrastructures itemized as modern classrooms and libraries with internet facilities, hostel accommodations, state-of-the-art laboratories and also inadequate remuneration/emoluments which had resulted in staff depletion and systematic decay of the educational system of the nation.

The several strikes eventually birthed a Memorandum of Understand (MOU), signed on 24th January, 2012, between ASUU and Federal Government which promised to inject ₦GN1.3trillion naira over a period of THREE YEARS into Federal Universities as follows:
a.₦GN100 billion in 2012;
b.₦GN400 billion in 2013;
c. ₦GN 400 billion in 2014 and
d. ₦GN400 billion in 2015.
As usual, Federal government failed to honour the agreement!


EMERGENCE OF BOKO HARAM IN 2009!

All the abandoned children of school age by the Borno State Governor Ali Modu Sheriff from 1999 to 2007 were gathered to form an Islamic school under the tutelage of one Mohammed Yusuf who took advantage of their illiteracy and successfully indoctrinated them into insurgency and eventually to TERRORISM which is now in its 13th year!

There is no better time than NOW to DEMAND FOR REFERENDUM TO DRAFT A BRAND NEW UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION with which to conduct the 2023 General Elections that will produce a PRIME MINISTER to ERASE THE VERY WASTEFUL AND CORRUPT PRESIDENCY FOR EVER FROM NIGERIA!
MONEY POLITICS HAS REPLACED COMPETENCE IN NIGERIAN TYPE OF PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM!

That the two candidates of the major political parties APC and PDP for the 2023 General Elections are SUPER-RICH BILLIONAIRES is not in contention and that they got their tickets through heavy inducement of delegates with millions of ₦GN naira/thousands of USD$ dollars are undeniable trending news in the social media!


I am, yours sincerely, Dr. David B.A. Olufon, 08130669886, 08080243066. G-mail-dvdolufon@gmail.

TINUBU, ATIKU AND INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES WILL COMPETE FOR PRIME MINISTER POSITION IN 2023!



In all their permutations and desperation to become the 16th PRESIDENT of the Federal Republic of Nigeria none of the aspirants ever bothered to pause and think that the Capitalist system practiced unsuccessfully over the years should be jettisoned for the cost-friendly Parliamentary System!
Consecutive heavily-monetized presidential debt-ridden Nigerian governments have accumulated trillions of naira/dollars in debt burden that cannot be repaid in many generations to come and the outgoing President Major General Muhammadu Buhari has told those who care to listen that he would continue to borrow until his last day in office!


Political and economic analyst kept postulating that borrowed funds were dedicated to infrastructural programs that would be of immense benefit to Nigeria in the final analysis but the contrary is what obtained so far in 62 years of Independence as a nation.

In seven years of BUHARI’S Administration, ONLY three infrastructures are visibly under construction: 1. Second Niger Bridge, South-East, (yet to be completed); 2. Lagos-Ibadan Express Way, South West, (still under construction); and 3. Refurbishing of RAIL TRACKS across the Six geo-, political zones; (work still in progress) – all projects EXECUTED WITH BORROWED FOREIGN FUNDS!



THE SET-TIME FOR GENUINE CHANGE IS NOW! DEBT- RIDDEN NIGERIA MUST METAMORPHOSE TO VIABLE ECONOMY!

Nigeria is still supposed to be participating to actualize the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), geared toward eradication of poverty and reduction of inequalities through the sustainable development of Nations in more than 170 countries and territories of the world but from all indications the dollar-gulping presidential system practiced by the nation had largely contributed to its non-performance and eventual failure in the program!



UNDP is working to eradicate poverty while protecting the planet and also simultaneously helping countries to develop strong policies, skills, partnerships and very strong institutions so that they can sustain their progress.
In the year 2015 the United Nations created 17 sustainable Development goals and aimed to achieve them by 2030 which all 193 United Nations member states agreed to end poverty, hunger, AIDS and discrimination against women and girls.


The 17 goals are as follows: 1 No poverty. 2. Zero hunger. 3. Good health and well-being. 4. Quality education 5. Gender equality. 6. Clean water and sanitation. 7. Affordable and clean energy. 8. Decent work and economic growth. 9.Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure. 10. Reduced inequalities. 11. Sustainable cities and communities. 12. Responsible consumption and production. 13. Climate action. 14. Life below Water 15. Life on Land 16. Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions 17.Partnerships for the goals.
UNDP says the creativity know how technology and financial resources from all of society is necessary to achieve the SDGs in every contest.



NIGERIA CAN NEVER ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS BECAUSE ITS MALICIOUSLY-CORRUPT PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM IS THE WORST IN THE WORLD!

Nigerians should therefore brace up to vote very soon in a REFERENDUM that will determine drafting of a brand new constitution for unicameral parliamentary system of government from 2023 and beyond. Governor Nasir El Rufai of Kaduna State, Chairman of the 2018 APC Restructuring Committee For True Federalism submitted not less than 12-Point Populist Recommendations in January 2018 (FOUR-AND-A-HALF-YEARS AGO), to Major General President Muhammadu Buhari for very urgent execution BUT it’s sad to say that the documents are still gathering dust on THE PRESIDENT'S DESK!

If he had diligently endorsed the recommendations which included the INCLUSION OF INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES ON THE BALLOT in that year, all socio-political contentions which have now aggravated to unimaginable proportion of mass destruction of lives and properties by non-state actors would have been nipped in the bud!
Nigerians are only requesting for an acceptable egalitarian Society that ensures good governance, justice, equity and fair play to all citizens irrespective of religion, tribe, gender, social or political affiliations.
The campaign for the REFERENDUM has gained the attention of Civil Society Groups, NGOS, Labor Unions, Traders, Market Women, the Suffering Masses living below Poverty Level and most especially THE GREAT NIGERIAN YOUTHS; and a THUNDEROUS “YES” to all recommendations will definitely RE-DIRECT
OPINION POLLS TO THE PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS IN 2023!



THE 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS WILL BE CONDUCTED WITH A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION BY INEC!


The following cogent reasons are very Germaine in the current type of NIGERIA’S PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM OF HEAVILY-MONETIZED POLITICS which negates EGALITARIANISM!

1) Nigeria is heavily-indebted externally to the tune of NGN44 trillion Naira as at Quarter 2 of year 2022!
2) Inflation rate of goods and services has skyrocketed to over 1,000% digit!
3) Three quarter of annual budget is committed to DEBT SERVICING!
4) An annual Internally-Generated Revenue (IGR), by the Federal Government/States which is less than NGN2 trillion naira per annum could neither support Capital Projects nor pay Workers monthly salaries!
5) The much taunted AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION has remained in the PIPELINE from the days of the Military to date in spite of 24 hectares of land available to over 200 million Nigerians!
6) Nigeria is most indebted to The Peoples Republic of China to the tune of USD$3,121billion which accounted for 12.28% of the External Debt Stock of USD$27.67billion dollars as at 31st March, 2020, inclusive of debts to the US, UK, EU, JAPAN, UAE, WORLD BANK ETC!
7) Nigerian military and civilian leaders have always ruled with impunity and no amount of protests, agitations or opposition to institutional corruption had ever changed their attitude/orientation from pursuing monumental wastages in administration in spite of the nation’s lean purse!
With its small economy, Nigeria's population has naturally positioned it as the African hub and major commercial destination which if handled by prudent managers could have become an economic reference point on the African Continent!
9) Oligarchy replaced Democracy for 62 years of Independence and instead of producing intellectuals and cerebrals, Nigerian Frankensteins have been breeding monsters in the form of terrorists murderers, assassins, kidnappers, who were denied quality education at their formative ages! One shameless politician said recently that UNESCO did not recommend that 26% of African nations annual budgets should be dedicated to EDUCATION and Nigeria’s highest appropriation to the sector was 6.7%!
10) The heavily-monetized presidential system imposed on the nation has been responsible for the do-or-die attitude by addicted politicians who would oppose any form of CHANGE AS THE UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM, though it is the plausible PANACEA to the persistent insecurity and blood-shedding in Nigeria!

JUNE 12 WILL BE REPLICATED IN THE 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS!
The Electorate will replicate the success of June 12 1993, through the Unicameral Parliamentary Constitution with which the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), will conduct a free, fair, credible, peaceful and well-organized 2023 General Elections!



TINUBU AND ATIKU ARE PRODUCTS OF A CORRUPTED DELEGATE DELUGE!

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC), politicians have done enough damage to the psyche of the genuine Nigerian electorate and should therefore be rejected by all the masses of the people in the year 2023 for INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES as recommended by the GOVERNOR EL RUFAI’S RESTRUCTURING COMMITTEE IN JANUARY 2018, who will produce a PRIME MINISTER through a brand new UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION which must be produced without further delay by Major General President Muhammadu Buhari!
“With GOD all things are possible!” Amen.

NIGERIAN YOUTHS WILL RULE THE COUNTRY IN A PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY IN 2023 IN SPITE OF ‘BOLA AHMED TINUBU AND ATIKU ABUBAKAR!

Another septuagenarian should be succeeding Major General President Muhammadu Buhari in office in May 2023, in spite of his promise to hand over to a Nigerian Youth when he signed the Not-Too-Young-To-Rule Bill into an Act in 2018 - BUT GOD WILL NOT PERMIT!
The 1999 Military Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria stipulates that the president of Nigeria has to be at least 40 years old while senators and state governors should be at least 35 years or above.

But on 7th May, 2017, France – a world power produced Emmanuel macron at age 35 as the youngest European President of the century and this development prompted a multitude of Nigerian youths on 25th July, 2017, to protest against age barriers on political posts to the National Assembly Abuja, where they registered their grievances!
It was a smart move for the Youths because President Buhari desperately dresired a second time in office and so it did not take time for the bill which was forwarded to the National Assembly to be passed by both Chambers having fulfilled the constitutionally required two-third of the State Assemblies!
The new age limit was reduced from 40 to 35 years for presidential candidates and state governors and senators from 35 to 30 and the age limit for State Assembly reduce to 25.
Since the attempt to give a fresh opportunity to democracy from 1999, all presidents from Obasanjo to late Umaru Yar’adua, Jonathan and Buhari were all above 50 years at inception, and have collectively kept the Youths in LIMBO FOR 22 YEARS!

BUHARI IN DESPERATION SIGNED THE NOT TOO YOUNG TO RULE BILL INTO AN ACT ON 31ST MAY, 2018 - ONE YEAR AHEAD OF THE 2019 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS!
The Military General was 75 year old when he accented to The Bill that was designed for the participation of young people to contest elections without let or hindrance or MORTGAGED BUT NOW ON THE THRESHOLD OF 80, HAS RENEGED ON HIS PROMISE THAT A YOUTH SHOULD SUCCEED HIM!
Are the proponents of the not too young to run bill going to allow the HIDDEN AGENDA of the old general browbeat them into silence and submission when the right time to speak out and act is now?
*Have they suddenly forgotten that the idea was conceived and pushed by several patriotic Civil Society groups including YIAGA Africa headed by a young lawyer and Human Rights Activist, Samson Itodo; sponsored in the House of Representatives by Tony Nwulu and in the Senate by Abdul Aziz Nyako?
*That on 20th April 2018 the promoters of The Bill met with Nigeria’s vice president ‘Yemi Osinbajo to advocate for the presidency to assent to The Bill and there after approval was sought by the movement for the reduction in the nomination form fee as it was NGN55 million naira and that it was reduced to NGN45 million for youths to encourage them to be involved to become president through the ruling party?
*That 33 Houses of Assembly in Nigeria voted yes over the two-third constitutional mandate figure?

WILL THE YOUTHS MORTGAGE THEIR FUTURE FOR A BOWL OF RED POTTAGE?

There was a vibrant youth from the south-west geo-political zone who was very vociferous and very determined to confront the old brigade of the APC who usurped all powers with his last breath to ensure that Justice was done for the youths but suddenly lost his voice as it was rumoured that he was silenced with some very large amount of money!
These youths should remember that any particular post cannot be gotten on a platter of gold but with great determination by Patriots who are desirous to RESCUE IT AND build a brand a New Nigeria of our dreams.

WE HAVE IT ON GOOD AUTHORITY THAT THE 55-YOUTH-LED ORGANISATIONS THAT GAVE PRESIDENT BUHARI AN 8-DAY ULTIMATUM TO ASSENT TO THE BILL WHICH CAME INTO FORCE ON 31ST MAY 2018, ARE STILL AT RED ALERT TO DEFEND NIGERIAN YOUTH RIGHTS TODAY!

We therefore request through this publication that these organisations should unite to push A Referendum Bill into motion to decide a brand new UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION THAT WILL PRODUCE DILIGENT COUNTY PARLIAMENTARIANS AND A PRIME MINISTER AND NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!

BUHARI SHOULD SUPPORT REFERENDUM AND LEAVE THE CHOICE OF PRIME MINISTER IN 2023 TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD!

For the umpteenth time WE need to remind the Nigerian masses that retired Major General President Muhammadu Buhari’s antecedent for despotism, dictatorship and nepotism has eventually negated his false claim of being a “reformed democrat” because at the departure lounge of his disastrous two-term office, the choice of a SUCCESSOR has generated an albatross around his neck!

The offensive but ubiquitous Cabal in charge of all policy directions of his Cabinet from 2015 to date have concluded plans to impose their candidate without his imput! Buhari would have been a MESSIAH TO NIGERIA but for his “character code” which had stuck on him like a leech!

BUHARI’S BELATED LAMENTATIONS:

1) We gave governors re-election tickets or opportunity to pick their successes allow me pick my successor.
2) Under my two-term leadership the dividends of democracy were delivered to Nigerians irrespective of their political leanings.
3) The party has grown in strength and capacity to govern true ability to hold consultations and put the nation above other interests
4) We need internal cohesion and strong leadership brand to achieve bigger electoral fortunes as we transit to the 2023 general elections.
5) In this final year of my second term it is compelling for me to provide stronger leadership to the party as the transition process progresses in an orderly manner.
6) Such leadership is required so that the party remains strong and united to retain power at the centre and hold great majority in various legislative chambers and also gain additional number of states at state levels.
7) Smooth succession plans have been successfully established at the state and local government levels where first term governors who have served creditably are encouraged to stand for re-election why second term governors have been accorded the privilege of promoting successors that are capable of driving their visions as well as the ideals of the party.
It is time to pick the presidential flag-bearer for the 2023 general elections who should continue as my successor and prove to the world the positive quality of APC regarding democratic principles and culture as well as leadership.
9) Our objective must be victory of our party and our choice of candidate should be someone to give the Nigerian masses the sense of victory and confidence even before the election.
10) And according to established internal policies of the party as we approach the convention, I SOLICIT THE RECIPROCITY AND SUPPORT OF THE GOVERNORS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS (THE CABAL), IN PICKING MY SUCCESSOR who will fly the flag of our party as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2023.

BUHARI NEEDS NO CLAIRVOYANCE! HE IS ON THE WRONG LANE! DIVINE PLAN FOR 2023 IS A PRIME MINISTER - NOT A PRESIDENT!

At the weekend of 2nd – 4th June, 2022, twenty-three aspirants were screened by APC Seven-man Committee; 13 scaled through while 10 were rejected – A VERY EXPENSIVE BILLIONAIRES EXERCISE IN FUTILITY!
And now that it has dawned on the aspirants that a CONSENSUS candidate was being considered by the retired general to eliminate 12 out of the remaining 13!
The All Progressives Congress is in confusion and in disarray and from all indications the entire clandestine plan by the Cabal (which has shot itself in the foot), will soon explode and jeopardize the chances of the party in the 2023
UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS!
What should occupy Buhari’s mind now is the emergence of the ADP, ACCORD NNPP, LABOUR PARTY, SDP etc, and new generation political parties which are more serious and determined to unravel and destabilize the MYTH surrounding the mega APC and PDP from all political calculations with a determined mindset to serve the PEOPLE OF NIGERIA!

POTENTIAL PRIME MINISTERS OF NIGERIA WHO ARE DILIGENT, CEREBRAL, AND HIGHLY EDUCATED AMONG THE NEW GENERATION POLITICAL PARTIES, SHOULD CLOSE RANKS AND SEIZE THIS OPPORTUNITY CREATED BY A CONFUSED RETIRED GENERAL TO SPONSOR THE MUCH – DESIRED REFERENDUM BILL AND INITIATE A BRAND NEW UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION FOR THE CONDUCT OF THE 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY BECAUSE BUHARI AND HIS CABAL WILL NEVER INITIATE THIS POPULAR DEMAND!

Who told General Buhari and his cohorts that they can still retain power at the centre in 2023 when the clamour for grassroot politics is gaining momentum by the day?
The African adage which says, “you can fool some people for some time but you cannot fool all the people all the time”, is already playing out because Buhari and APC would soon be dumped in the history of forgetfulness as Nigeria moves into full steam of new generation politics!

DINNER PARTIES, NOCTURNAL MEETINGS AND PROMISSORY NOTES FOR PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANTS WHO WILL STEP DOWN FOR BUHARI’S CONSENSUS CANDIDATE!

The bigger picture of all the flurry of emergency political meetings taking place at ASO ROCK PRESIDENTIAL VILLA is unfolding by the day inspite of the fact that President Buhari has requested the governors to allow him choose his successor he still expressed intention to have consultations with all the stakeholders when in fact the party's convention will hold Monday and Tuesday - 6th to 7th June 2022 in Abuja.
Grapevine has whispered to Zion B-BC Newsletter that the NGN100 million naira nomination fee is an investment by each of the aspirant because they were all aware that out of the first 28 of them before the number was reduced to 23, only one person would be picked to run the race for presidency and yet they all paid the humongous fees without much ado and without sweat!

The word of God says the Love of Money is the ROOT OF ALL EVIL and that those who want to be rich will go to any length not minding the consequences of their choice and behaviour in the long run. WAS IT NOT HIGH TIME EFCC CHECKMATED THESE MONEY- MONGERS who have horribly monetized Nigerian politics?

According to their permutations, when one of them is chosen to represent APC as their imaginary President, the others will be given big portfolios by him when he assumes the imaginary position in 2023 like Ministers, Chairmen of Government Parastatals, Foreign Ambassadors, or AWARDED multi-billion dollar contracts, OIL BLOCS, etc.!

All of these will only happen in their carnal imaginations! Their monies will perish with them because the LORD God will move against them to produce a PRIME MINISTER in the year 2023 for Nigeria.
And all the International detractors which indexes had placed Nigeria to be the POVERTY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD, the most corrupt country in the world, the country with the most devastating INSECURITY CHALLENGE and the DIRTIEST and most UNHYGIENIC place to DOMICILE, will now be put to absolute shame!

RETIRED MAJOR GENERAL PRESIDENT BUHARI SCORECARD FROM 2015 TO DATE!

When retired General Buhari assumed office on 29th May 2015, he moved into action against Boko Haram terrorist who had at that time overran 17 Local Government Areas in Borno State and before the end of that year into 2016 he was able to recover all those local government areas and to defeat the terrorist hands down.
Nigerians were very happy believing that the momentum would be sustained and that insecurity of lives and property would become a thing of the past, but that excitement was short-lived!
From 2018 onward there began the escalation of not only terrorism, kidnapping, banditry, but gun and bomb attacks on government installations in all the geo-political zones of Nigeria which threatened the General’s second bid attempt as President! The Independent People of Biafra (IPOB), terrorists were also emboldened to destroy Police Stations and Prisons facilities and DECAPITATED INNOCENT CITIZENS at random!
They also ordered all traders in the South East to sit at home on Mondays as a sign of protest against the incarceration of Nnamdi kanu their leader who is facing trial for treason against the Government of Nigeria.
That order still subsists to the detriment of the Governments’ in the South East Geo-Political Zone which have failed to upturn it in spite of all the security forces at their COMMAND!

The story is similar in Bornu State where government rules side by side with terrorists and bandits who collect TAXES FROM THE PEOPLE!
WHATEVER SUCCESSES THAT BUHARI IS CLAIMING IN RESPECT OF ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE AND POSSIBLY AGRICULTURE ARE MERE DROPS OF WATER IN THE OCEAN! If he must leave a legacy to be remembered for he should quickly abandon the SUCCESSOR PROJECT, forward a BILL FOR REFERENDUM to the outgoing National Assembly, sign it into law ALL IN ONE DAY FOR THE PEOPLE TO DRAFT A BRAND NEW UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION that will produce for Nigeria a Prime Minister in 2023!

ANYTHING SHORT OF THIS GODLY COUNSEL TO THE OLD MAN IS BALDERDASH!

[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]

ABUBAKAR CONDUCTED ELECTIONS WITH NEW CONSTITUTION WITHIN ONE YEAR – BUHARI CAN DO SAME WITH REFERENDUM!

Every committed and responsible leadership will always desire to put the interest of its citizens into reckoning and consideration if it must succeed in discharging all constitutional duties predicated on the principles of democracy and social justice.

Leadership must be committed to ensure that sovereignty belongs to the people of Nigeria from whom government through the constitution derives all its powers and authority NOT just on the document but in reality.
The Military Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 states in Chapter II Section 14 (2) (b) that the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government and (c) the participation by the people in their government shall be ensured in accordance with the provisions of the constitution.

THE NIGERIAN MILITARY KEPT THE CITIZENS IN BONDAGE FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS AND RULED WITH IRON FISTS!

General Abdulsalami Abubakar the last military leader in Nigeria smartly discerned, shortly after the death of his principal - SANI ABACHA - that Nigerians were tired of the soldiers boots and guns and wasted no time to pack bag and baggage and handed over a DIARCHY which helmsman wore BABANRIGA (big mantle), to identify with DEMOCRACY!
Maximum military ruler General Sani Abacha died on the 8th of June 1998, and within one year of his demise General Abubakar set up all necessary machineries through the Independent National Electoral Commission, conducted elections having assured that a new Constitution was enacted to run the affairs of government when he handed over on 29th May 1999.

REPRODUCED BELOW IS THE UNEDITED PROMULGATION DECREE NUMBER 24 OF 1999 WHICH ENACTED “CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA DATED 15TH MAY 1999 AND SIGNED BY GENERAL ABDULSALAMI ALHAJI ABUBAKAR, HEAD OF STATE, COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.

“Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (Promulgation) Decree
No 24 of 1999
Laws of the Federation of Nigeria
5th day of May 1999

Whereas the Federal Military Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in compliance with the Transition to Civil Rule (Political Programme) Decree 1998 has, through the Independent National Electoral Commission, conducted elections to the office of President and Vice-President, Governors and Deputy-Governors, Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen, the National Assembly, the House of Assembly and the local government councils;

And Whereas the Federal Military Government in furtherance of its commitment to hand over to a democratically elected civilian administration on 29th May 1999, inaugurated on 11th November 1998, the Constitutional Debate Co-ordinating Committee charged with responsibility to, among other things, pilot the debate on the new Constitution for Nigeria, co-ordinate and collate views and recommendations canvassed by, individuals and groups for a new Constitution for Nigeria

And Whereas the Constitutional Debate Co-ordinating Committee benefited from the receipt of large volumes of memoranda from Nigerians at home and abroad and oral presentations at the public hearings at the debate centres throughout the country and the conclusions arrived thereat and also at various seminars, workshop’s and conferences organised and was convinced that the general consensus of opinion of Nigerians is the desire to retain the provisions of the 1979 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria with some amendments;

And Whereas the Constitutional Debate Co-ordinating Committee has presented the report of its deliberations to the Provisional Ruling Council;
And Whereas the Provisional Ruling Council has approved the report subject to such amendments as are deemed necessary in the public interest and for the purpose of promoting the security, welfare and good governance and fostering the unity and progress of the people of Nigeria with a view to achieving its objective of handing over an enduring Constitution to the people of Nigeria;

And Whereas, it is necessary in accordance with the programme on transition to civil rule for the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1979 after necessary amendments and approval by the Provisional Ruling Council to be promulgated into a new Constitution for the Federal Republic of Nigeria in order to give the same force of law with effect from 29th May 1999:

Now therefore, the Federal Military Government hereby decrees as follows:-
1 There shall be for Nigeria a Constitution which shall be as set out in the Schedule to this Decree.
(2) The Constitution set out in the Schedule to this Decree shall come into force on 29th May 1999.
(3) Whenever it may hereafter be necessary for the Constitution to be printed it shall be lawful for the Federal Government Printer to omit all parts of this Decree apart from the Schedule and the Constitution as so printed shall have the force of law notwithstanding the omission.
2. This Decree may be cited as the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (Promulgation) Decree 1999.
Schedule

Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999
Made at Abuja this 5th day of May 1999
General Abdulsalami Alhaji Abubakar
Head of State, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

THE LEADERSHIP DEFICIT BETWEEN ABDULSALAMI ABUBAKAR AND MUHAMMADU BUHARI IS UNACCEPTABLE!

And whereas retired General Abdulsalam Abubakar has remained in contention as a man of wisdom who had concern for the welfare of the citizens and is still relevant in CONSECUTIVE ADMINISTRATIONS from 1999 to date, General Buhari - even in government has lost grip to the terrorists who now occupy some local government areas in the North East and are collecting taxes from farmers and all those who are domicile in that region.

In recent times these terrorists give ultimatum to Federal Government to release their leaders who are in the custody of the security forces or face the consequences of EXECUTION OF HOSTAGES!

Major General Buhari’s second term in office has been a complete disaster especially when insecurity has become incalcitrant, social amenities have fizzled out completely, employment of able-bodied 13.5 million youths is in abeyance, about 10 million of school age are still roaming the streets, farmers are being executed in their farms, bandits are still killing hapless citizens across Nigeria, not living out Katsina; the President's home State etc.

And whereas President Buhari has been advised to forward an Executive Bill to the National Assembly for inclusion of REFERENDUM to address the quagmire of the unprofitable presidential system which was imposed on Nigeria and embrace the UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM which will allow greater participation of the population and save the country from bankruptcy which consecutive administrations had embarked on.
But up-to-date the president has turned a deaf ear to the suggestions: and the killings, the sufferings, the poverty, the calamities, the pains and the bloodshed have continued unabated while he continued to globe-trot all over the world at every given opportunity! AND it is now very glaring to the TALAKAWAS that Buhari NEVER LOVED THEM AT ANY POINT IN TIME BUT HIMSELF!

WHETHER BUHARI LIKES IT OR NOT HE MUST BEND TO THE WISHES OF THE MASSES NOW!l

The economical unicameral system of government which will produce a PRIME MINISTER for Nigeria in the year 2023 is the way to go and we enjoin all Nigerians to PETITION the legislative arm of government and insist that REFERENDUM MUST BE PASSED INTO LAW WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY!

The citizens are tired of the prodigality of Buhari's presidential system and of Buhari who turned out to be the CITIZENS' ENEMY on instead of the MESSIAH!
HE MUST ACT LIKE RETIRED GENERAL ABDULSALAM ALHAJI ABUBAKAR AND GIVE TO NIGERIANS A LEGACY OF UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION NOW!
“With God all things are possible.”

[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]

#CAMPAIGN FOR REFERENDUM AND NOT VIOLENT AGITATIONS!

A a flurry of intensive and coordinated agitation for TRUE FEDERALISM gathered momentum in the fourth quarter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), 16 years of consecutive solo administration back to back!
Ex-president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was bombarded with all manner of petitions and requests throughout his six-year tenure between 2010-2015 and he succumbed to the 2014 National Conference which was set up to look at all the issues in contention and suggest lasting solution.

Several of the RECOMMENDATIONS of the 2014 National Conference were included in the All Progressives Congress (APC), Committee on True Federalism submitted by its Chairman, Governor Nasir el-rufai of Kaduna State. He also supported the application of REFERENDUM to hasten results!
The most outstanding was Devolution of Powers from the Federal to the federating States, followed by Resource Control, State Police and Prisons, Independent Candidacy, Mines/Minerals, Oil Fields and Mining etc, and all the recommendations were to go through the FRAUDULENT CONSTITUTION AMMENDMENTS which had never seen the light of the day!


NIGERIAN POLITICIANS KNOW THAT THE 1999 PRESIDENTIAL MILITARY CONSTITUTION AND ALL ITS PSEUDO AMENDMENTS BELONG TO THE DUSTBIN OF HISTORY!
And whereas they also know that the surest and workable solution to all the myriad problems of INSECURITY, POVERTY, HYPER INFLATION KIDNAPPINGS, BANDITRY, PROLIFERATION OF SMALL ARMS AND AMMUNITIONS with which heinous crimes are committed was the option of a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT! But the wicked politicians prefer A CORRUPTED PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM that gives them opportunity to continue to loot the TREASURY rather than provide social amenities as DIVIDENDS OF DEMOCRACY FOR THE POOR MASSES (TALAKAWAS)!

When confronted with the fact that the application of REFERENDUM was the easiest way out of the debacle, Major General Muhammadu Buhari bluntly disagreed by claiming that it was an Nnamdi Kanu's IPOB plan for a BIAFRA SECCESSION!

AND WHEREAS BUHARI SUPPORTED TURKEY'S REFERENDUM IN APRIL 2017!
According to media reports, Turkish women in a pro-government rally in Istanbul on 5th March 2017, gathered in their thousands in support of a “Yes” Vote in REFERENDUM to boost the Turkish President's power to continue in government after an unsuccessful military coup d'etat against his administration!
And President Buhari congratulated the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for the foresight and maturity of leading his people to the polls to decide on the future of leadership for the country that will further deepen peace and stability.

The Major General also said that the Turkey's REFERENDUM showcased the Democratic credentials of the country and reflected a willingness of the Turkish people to live together and jointly pursue a better future.
Turkey is a country that occupies a unique geographic position as it lies partly in Asia and partly in Europe. Throughout its history it has acted as both a barrier and a bridge between the two continents.

MAJOR GENERAL BUHARI IS AN UNREPENTANT NEPOTISTIC AND A HYPOCRITICAL AFRICAN LEADER WHO BELIEVES IN OLIGARCHY RATHER THAN TRUE DEMOCRACY AND HAS NO PLAN TO CHANGE HIS CHARACTER!

Politics is a game of numbers. We enjoin all well-meaning patriotic Nigerians, the YOUTHS, Civil Society Groups Organised Labour Unions and all lovers of democracy to join this campaign and demand for REFERENDUM that will produce a brand new UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION with which INEC will conduct the 2023 general elections that will usher a PRIME MINISTER!

WE ARE MORE IN NUMERICAL FIGURES THAN THE LOOTERS IN GOVERNMENT!

If Alhaji Aliko Dangote had succumbed to President Muhammadu Buhari’s entreaties and pressures to locate his 3 million metric tonnes per annum Fertilizer Complex and the 650,000 barrels per day Petrochemical Refinery in land-locked Northern Nigeria instead of Lekki, Lagos, the nation would have ceased to be rated as Africa’s country with the highest Gross Domestic Product (GDP), according to international perception index!

The business magnate who had put several years of professional research into the entire project which must be accessed by air land and sea, pursued his ambition to locate the magnificent project complex at Lekki Free Trade Zone in Ibeju, Lekki Lagos, Southern Nigeria.
With great foresight, the first phase of the fertilizer project took off Tuesday 22nd March with the commissioning of USD$2.5 billion dollars Fertilizer Plant by the President and export of the it’s products have begun in earnest.
Foreign exchange earnings through these exports should contribute about USD$ 400-500 million dollars into the economy in view of the great demands with employment opportunities of qualified and able-bodied Nigerians in thousand of thousands!

The massive production should also generate adequate domestic consumption and enhance farmers outputs especially now that the Buhari Administration still believes that it could improve on it diversification to agriculture agenda drive before leaving office in 2023.

THE DANGOTE PETROLEUM REFINERY WHICH IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION SHOULD BE READY BEFORE THE DEPARTURE OF THE MAJOR GENERAL MUHAMMADU BUHARI IN 2023.

From conception to actualization the Dangote Petrochemical and Fertilizer conglomerate was a project very dear to the heart of de-tribalized Nigerian and richest man in Africa, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, owner and financier of the conglomerate
Left to Mr. President who doubles as the Minister of Petroleum, the project should have been sited in the heart of Northern Nigeria rather than Lagos, the commercial capital which the shrewd and detribalized Nigerian captain of industry feasibility assessment had adjudged as the most appropriate, geo-physical and eco-friendly landscape in the Southern Nigeria!
Northern Nigeria has been desperate to explore and exploit its entire landscape in search of crude oil in order to prove that Southern Nigeria did not have monopoly of Crude!

During the period of the military interregnum it was rumored that oil was discovered in several States but till date there are no physical existence of crude oil in any part of the region!
In February 2020 when Nigeria's Minister of State for Petroleum Resources announced that ONE BILLION BARRELS {1billion), of crude oil was discovered in Gongola Basin, Nigeria’s North East, it resonated like a comedian’s “April Fool” joke; and for two years on, according to media reports, neither the Federal Government nor the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC),
alluded to the existence of any oil project of such magnitude in
Gongola Basin!

GONGOLA BASIN PETROLEUM EXPLORATION IS BUHARI’S PET PROJECT!

We also have it on good authority that the president had passionately championed the Gongola project in more than 40 years but it was not until October 2019, that NNPC announced that crude oil, gas and condensates were discovered in the Kolmani River region at a border community between Bauchi and Gombe States!
It was also revealed that some 19 Northern States in 2007 won Oil Prospecting Licence in the Gongola Basin for the sole purpose of exploration and exploitation of Crude but with no positive results to date!
Almost all Nigerians believe that President Major General Muhammadu Buhari is the best man to handle the petroleum sector of the nation in view of his “wealth of experience” of several decades!
But under his watch it seems that his lieutenants who should be trusted, tested experts and technocrats in the field of crude oil dredging, exploration, exploitation and exportation for commercial benefits have been compromised in view of the systemic corruption which had produced several portfolio billionaires from the very sensitive sector of the Petroleum Industry of the Nigerian economy!

Have they all been righteous servants? Can they claim innocence in the allegations that 91% of the foreign exchange earner crude was being stolen by some syndicates?
Beginning from his military career days to date the petroleum sector has suffered horrible corruption orchestrated even institutionally by stakeholders and key players to the extent that those oil billionaires in Nigeria have surreptitiously taken over the government and formed a cabal around him!

DANGOTE REFINERY COULD NOT HAVE DEBUTED AT A BETTER TIME THAN THIS!

Dangote Petroleum Refinery is covering a land area of approximately 2,635 hectares which is about six times the size of Victoria Island. The 650,000 barrels per day (BPD) integrated refinery project still under construction in the Lekki Free Zone near Lagos Nigeria is expected to be Africa's biggest oil refinery and the world's biggest single-train facility.

The Refinery will meet 100% of the Nigerian requirement of all refined products and also have a surplus of each of these products for export. Dangote Petroleum Refinery is a multibillion-dollar project that will create a market for USD$11 billion dollars per annum of Nigerian crude. It is designed to process Nigerian crude with the ability to also process other crudes.

The refinery alone has a 400 MW power plant that is able to meet the total power requirement of Ibadan Disco. It is being built at a cost of uUSD$19 billion dollars in Lagos and has 4.74 billion litres storage capacity and that 75% of its products will be moved by sea within Nigeria.
The project has been delayed by several years and the cost has shot to United States $19 billion dollars from earlier estimate of between USD12 to USD $14 billion dollars. The refinery should have commenced in 2013 and finished in 2016 if the projection had been right.
Before now Nigeria was Africa’s biggest oil producer and exporter but depended entirely on fuel imports after allowing it's significant refining capacity of 445,000 bpd to become dilapidated over several decades.

WILL FOSSIL FUEL GIVE WAY TO RENEWABLE ENERGY LIKE SOLAR AND WIND TURBINE?

As soon as Dangote expressed his intention to divert to oil and gas, business gurus faulted the venture which they believed would be grounded in no time in view of advanced technology in solar and turbine, which innovation in developed countries have produced carbon-emission-free vehicles/engines and that
fossil fuel (coal, oil, and natural gas), which was responsible for greenhouse emissions would be analogue!
We regard this position as very uninformed because developed countries are also still using fossil fuels to run their trains the factories alongside other energy sources like gas and electric.

We have said it over and over again that fossil fuel will continue to produce Man’s Energy Needs as long as the Earth Remains and play major roles in the upliftment of human resources and development.

Let's assume that the CLIMATE CHANGE could be supported through renewable energies what about intensified Space Exploration Pollution which deplete the OZONE LAYER faster than fossil fuel emission from the earth?

PERENNIAL FUEL SCARCITY WILL FIZZLE OUT WITH DANGOTE REFINERY!

Although Nigerians are still experiencing fuel scarcity through deliberate artificial manipulation by marketers associations, it is believed that the process is a deliberate plan by government and petroleum dealers to set the stage for Dangote Refinery to break-even when it comes on stream in the last quarter of 2022 and conform with international market forces!
In the third quarter of 2021, the Federal Government mooted the idea of deregulation of Petroleum downstream Sector but quickly reversed the obnoxious policy because Civil Society Organisations, the Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), promised to ground the economy and also because the contentious policy was too close to the 2022 pre-election year!
Nigerians should support the upliftment of our oil industry which will boost the economy positively through the DANGOTE GENUINE INVESTMENT AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION THROUGH REFERENDUM AND VOTE FOR A PRIME MINISTER IN THE YEAR 2023 TO DOUSE ALL RESTRUCTURING AGITATIONS FOR TRUE FEDERALISM!

“With God all things are possible!”
