WHERE ARE NIGERIA'S CHRISTIAN LEADERS?

They have compromised themselves eating with Caesar, hence they have buried their heads in shame like the evil ostrich of the rainforest and are silent in their guiltiness, while injustices and Sharia like a wild fire in the harmattan spread intractably across the country. With all sense of responsibility, I dare say: CAN - the Christian Association of Nigeria is now a liability as well as most clergy of today in Nigeria, just like their jets, universities, obscene properties, extravagant lifestyles including their ill-gotten wealth. Therefore, the Christians in Nigeria need a new body now, now, now!

Whilst on the other hand the Catholic Church have produced the greatest philosophers and intellectuals across centuries impressing on the minds of their priests that a sound mind is ONLY to be found in a sound body, which incidentally is my alma mater's motto - ALADURA COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOL, ANTHONY VILLAGE, LAGOS - Mens Sana in Corpore Sano, meaning: "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body", a phrase which comes from Satire X of the Roman poet Juvenal (10.356). It is the first in a list of what is desirable in life...excerpt as reproduced below:
In original Latin:
orandum est ut sit mens sana in corpore sano.
fortem posce animum mortis terrore carentem,
qui spatium vitae extremum inter munera ponat
naturae, qui ferre queat quoscumque labores,
nesciat irasci, cupiat nihil et potiores
Herculis aerumnas credat saevosque labores
et venere et cenis et pluma Sardanapalli.
monstro quod ipse tibi possis dare; semita certe
tranquillae per virtutem patet unica vitae.
—Roman poet Juvenal (10.356-64)
English translation:
You should pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body.
Ask for a stout heart that has no fear of death,
and deems length of days the least of Nature's gifts
that can endure any kind of toil,
that knows neither wrath nor desire and thinks
the woes and hard labors of Hercules better than
the loves and banquets and downy cushions of Sardanapalus.
What I commend to you, you can give to yourself;
For assuredly, the only road to a life of peace is virtue

In Nigeria of today, Rev. Father George Ehusani offers a good case study of what ought to be the role of a Christian intellectual and gentle man in a society, early Anthony Olubunmi Okogie, the then FIRE BRAND Catholic Arch Bishop of Lagos, but that once God's flaming sword/fire got himself thoroughly messed up with Ibrahim Gbadamosi (not Badamasi) Babangida or allowed himself to be thoroughly messed up by that amoral being.
And within the Nigerian Baptist community (Convention), that brilliant eternal star, that industrial guru, technocrat and Board guru who has proved in the midst of our thoroughly corrupt generation/Nigeria and the world, it is possible for a Christian to indeed, still be the "light" and "salt" of the Earth as Our Lord and Master had said ages ago.

Stand up and be counted GAMALIEL OFFORITSENERE ONOSODE. Stand up, OFFORITSENERE and remain standing and keep towering above all the worms of the nation who think money is everything and let your towering, shame them - all of Nigeria's worms, one by one!

In the midst of the rot of Nigeria, in the midst of the pervasive corruption in Nigeria, Onosode's brilliant life, his unparalleled successes in every little corner of the globe he has served coupled with my insatiable quest for knowledge and curiosity made me to hold him, Dr Isma'il Babatunde Jose, Chief S. O. Fadahunsi, Rufus Giwa and other great Nigerians of that generation up as my role models whilst growing up as a barracks boy living then at Ikeja Military Cantonment in Lagos and schooling at the above College, which by my reckoning and without APOLOGIES, is the GREATEST SECONDARY SCHOOL IN NIGERIA and Africa!

Fortunately and I dare say very fortunately, Dr Jose and Chief Fadahunsi were later to become my personal great mentors such that I was always a regular in their homes with their families and would be involved in every occasion they were involved in, playing very prominent roles at all of these occasions. Dr Jose gave me N10, 000.00 when I was leaving the shores of Nigeria in 2003, and both him and Chief Fadahunsi when still alive would send me thie itineraries any time they were coming to the United Kingdom, and I would be with them until they would return to Nigeria.

And whenever they were both around in the United Kingdom every of our discussion was Nigeria-Africa-Black Race and humanity-centred! Sleep soundly, GREAT SOULS, but whence come such to the shores of Nigeria again! Mrs Elizabeth Fadahusi took me as a son. Both great mentors of mine above very concerned about Nigeria and their plea always was NIGERIA MUST NOT BREAK UP!

As a demonstration of his unparalleled committment to Nigeria, Chief S.O. Fadahunsi particularly, left me a document and in the whole of Nigeria, only former President Olusegun Obasanjo and myself were given this document which he made just three copies - one for the then President, one for himself and he had mine which is the THIRD of this document delievered to me in my office at the Daily Times compound at Agidingbi in Ikeja by his then secretary Adebayo from Ilesha like himself.

Both attributes of mine above - unparalleled quest for knwoledge and curiosity played key roles in my decision to want to go to Church, then as an atheist, having abandoned God and the four walls of the Church after reading Tai Solarin's A MESSAGE FOR YOUNG NIGERIANS introduced to me by Mr Babalola, another great influence in my life who happened to be our Agricultural Science Master at ALACOHS - Mr Babalola, Mr Disu, our Yoruba teacher and Mrs Janet Akinyebo, our English Language teacher gave me the name GREAT ADUMA - to ask Deacon Onosode the simple question: "What does a rich man like you need God for?" As I had then because of the type of Christians I was meeting concluded that Christianity was for the poor and the socially misfit.

At Aladura, I was a college journalist, but initially did not know what it meant when a class mate of mine Emeka Amadike, who had been follwoing my writings keenly - poems, essays, exhortations, articles pasted on the School's Notice Board, suggested to me to study journalism after my college. As a good debater, I had earlier protested when our College Vice Principal, Mrs Awokoya decided to put me in the Press Club. I did not even know there was such a thing to be called Press Club.

We were asked to choose two societies we would like to be involved and play a role in and in my own then highly limited knowledge, I just chose: Literary and Debating Society and Cultural Club/Society, but when the names were called out, I did not hear my mine called out by our VP as a prospective member of these two clubs - being a very popular lad, all eyes/gazes were now on me for, I was a known debater who was also at the time dreaming to be a great Parliamentarian/Debater like the Great Zik and Chief Obafemi Awolowo, so naturally yours sincerely and my school mates had thought water was the dwelling place of (a) fish/es, but disappointingly this was not to be!
I was already downcast and disappointed and was already receiving sympathies from my friends and classmates with some saying: "Make you no dey debate for them again!"

In the midst of the disappointment with my friends asking what happened - the VP who seemed to be having something up her sleeves and plotting a 'coup' against her well loved young writer, kept the Press Club list to her chest and announced it last. At this juncture, and in a downcast state, I was not interested in whatever she was doing up on the high pavement of the main College building any more, raised high because our College is situated in an erosion-prone area of Anthony Village, near the Forest of Anthony Ori-Oke in Lagos.

Suddenly, Mrs Awokoya announced: PRESS CLUB! This drew laughter from the whole school as virtually all the students didn't know or most of the students did not know the actual meaning, so were looking at it from the point view of those who wash clothes and iron them for people! She began to call the list of the members of this 'strange' club being mocked about now to the great derision of every student. Having called all the senior members of this "rubbish" club, she then announced: J-O-H-N A-D-U-M-A-A-A-A!

There was loud laughter, a general cooing-like derision with everyone not only mocking the members, but taking off their shirts and giving them to the members of this highly derided club: "Take this my shirt, go and wash it now, now...iron it and return it to me immediately!"

In my case, such friends and classmates: Henry Nwualu, Sunday Ogundipe, Tajudeen Adedo, Muyideen Muraina, all took off their shirts and said variously to me: "Atupa (for this was my nickname, which the same VP blessed for the students, despite me protesting to her, despite the fact that she herself had warned her students many times at the Assembly forbidding the giving of nicknames by students to students!), take this shirt, wash it...I 'll pay you when you return it to me."

Tajudeen Adedo, a young man with a high sense of humour called out: "Okoro madu epe, you only have few minutes to wash this and return it to me...your pay will be a THANK YOU!"

I refused to go out of the line where I had stood with members of my class to join other members of this club, but was pushed out by the quartet above. Dragging me out, they laughed, joked and mocked: "Go jare to where you belong."
After the list had been called out, the VP who had noticed the general reactions of her students began to educate the whole school. She mentioned two names: Ray Ekpu and Dele Giwa to buttress her explanation that contrary to what we had in mind, it was a club for writers, especially jounrnalists, but by God, I must confess, I was not in the right mood for her explanation to sink. Even though I was a voracious reader generally speaking, and an avid reader of the two great journalists, I never bothered about her explanation. After all, has she not spoiled my day well enough by turning me into an object of ridicule by the whole school. When she was about leaving for her office, I hopped onto the high pavement running after her: "Excuse me, Ma, excuse me Ma..." And she turned back, but was still going and huttling after her, I protested: "Excuse Ma...me I don't want to be washing and ironing clothes for people!"

Laughing all the way, she raised her cane up and turned to go, but as she was about to move again, I took a step and being full of laughter, she raised the stick higher pretending as if she would cane me and then said: "Go, go, Aduma, don't trouble me, that's where you belong!"

But I refused to give up protesting against my membership of this club, more when I had become an object of derision. But as a barracks boy, I quickly applied a common wisdom amongst soldiers: "OBEY BEFORE COMPLAIN, hence I disagreed with those soldiers who mutinied, and still thorougly do, even though I'm well abreast of everything going on in the armed forces and the police right now and have been taken them up, both on the pages of newspapers, televison interviews and directly with their high ranking military and police officers.

The whole training of the miliatry is based on CHALLENGE AND RESPONSE. And this ought to be the goal of all training in every department of life. Were we a serious nation, after the civil war, Yakubu Gowon would have asked Professor Gordian Ezekwe whom I had had the privilege of working with by virtue of my private sector appointment as the Executive Secretary, Foundry Asociation of Nigeria, to kick start the nation's defence industry and had this been the case, defeating Boko Haram, that Buhari and his Arewa chohorts are busily plotting a 'well done' handshake for them and the granting of amnesty to them after they had killed between 13, 000 - 15, 000 since 2009 and displaced up to 1.5 million people would have been a thing of the past long ago such that the same Gowon would not be attacking America's seeming unfriendliness in the face of great threat to the nation's security, unity and the future of the country.

In The Punch of November 30, 2014, under the heading: "Boko Haram: America not Nigeria's friend", the nation's former Head of State who had nine years to develop our defence industry indicted himself when he whined and moaned:
"The same thing happened during the Civil War. The Americas refused to sell arms to us. I wanted them to help me with some modest aircraft so that I could chase out Ojukwu’s (Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu) B52 or B56 as they called it. That was all I wanted; not to shoot it down but to chase it away so that it does not drop bombs and kill innocent people.

“But the Americans refused to help us and they even refused to sell arms and ammunitions and the spare parts of the equipment that we got from them. And at the same time, they (America) were shipping aircraft and loads of arms and ammunition to Zaire. What sort of friends are they?
“You call them your friends and they say that they are helping us to fight terror. We don’t want their people (Americans) to come and fight the war (against Boko Haram) for us but, at least, we need the equipment.
“During my time (as Head of State), I had to go to the Russians to get the equipment we wanted in order to prosecute that war. If they cannot help us, they should allow us to go elsewhere and get what we want to ensure that we deal with this particular problem.”

And the quote below from THE OGBOMOSHO FOUNDATION's website attests to my contention above:
"The Identification of the True Heroes and Men of Exceptional Talent on Both Sides
Those who deserve nomination for the highest decorations as true heroes and patriots must include both Benjamin Adekunle (Black Scorpion) from the Nigerian side and probably Col. Joe Achuzie (Hannibal) or (Air Raid) from the Biafran side. To these must be added a certain great Biafran leader of a band of inventive scientists and technological whiz-kids. Professor Gordian Obuneme Ezekwe (1929-1997). He led the teams variously called Research and Production Board, Science Group, PRODEV, PRODA etc. Prof. Ezekwe and his men wrought wonders even long after the war. Professor Ezekwe was very appropriately made Minister of Science and Technology by IBB, a post he adorned so well before he died. Those are the three colourful heroes of the war that we all hope was not fought in vain.
Prof. G. O. Ezekwe, along with his team armed with the Ibo spirit of inventiveness, never-say-die entrepreneurial spirit constructed mini refineries, supplied various daily needs of the civil population locally-made fabricated weapons, bombs, rockets, including the famous Ogbunigwes, landmines called foot cutters and things named 'Marshalls,' 'Genocide' and of course, shot-guns revolvers, hand grenades, ammunition and explosives of various descriptions. A good statue of him should be erected by the Federal Government possibly at Aba."

As part of the National Foundry Council decision making team between 1997 and 2000 when by the grace of God I was the EXECUTIVE SECRETARY for the national body of all the foundry practitioners throughout the entire country, sitting on virtually all the national committees of the various techno-industrial associations that existed at the time in Nigeria, including sitting on virtually all the national committees set up by the various governments whilst I was in Nigeria, and representing foundry on the Steel Committee, I have never failed to call on the nation - the armed forces, the automotive industry and all the various sectors of the national economy that it was stupid to import components and spares after machinery had been acquired Overseas, more so, when we have more able and competent people/foundry practitioners to produce not just components and spares, but actually manufacture virtually all our technological/manufacturing needs locally; for metal founding as I discovered from a major research I had carried out round the country, had been with us since pre-historic times, through the First Century AD till the VERY PRESENT and evidence(s) of iron smelting sites dating back to this period abound in WAZOBIA-like distribution, hence like the Biblical John the Baptist, I had been crying to all persons of African ancestry: Stop being stupid and develop what you have in your back yard as technology, first and foremost, is endogenous.

And the starting point is to begin to appreciate the local blacksmiths, goldsmiths, coppersmiths, foundry practitioners and all metal/iron workers in our midst - go round all over Nigeria, Nnewi, where I was the guest of General Sam Momah and Professor Charles Ononuju Ofoegbu, an Ozubulu son who whilst I was Executive Secretary of Foundry Association of Nigeria (FAN) was the Director-General, the Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute (NIBRRI) during the foundry exhibition then at Nnewi, sleeping there including going up to Ozubulu, to be hosted by Ofoegbu at his family compound alongside othe eminent Nigerians, PRODA, Awka, Oyo - in fact, all over Nigeria and throughout Africa.
So it is madness to hear government officials in Nigeria stupidly talking about technology transfer. These people no doubt, are either mad or drunk and sure need psychiatric attention. As boys in the village back in Yala, Ogoja, we didn't need any technology transfer to make bombs, kites, 'telephones' using cobwebs, dane guns, carts, metal traps, trucks, bamboo stilts, draw, paint, mould pots, build mud houses with reddish clay, make candles, metal arrows, wooden bicycles, wooden tricycles, etc, etc, all these were during our pre-school/elementary age to confirm what I had said that TECHNOLOGY IS ENDOGENOUS, but our foolish quest for the rubbish education - the file-carrying education or the administrative-orientated education or the tie-orientated or office-orientated education which the colonialists left us with so that UNTIL THY KINGDOM COME Africans will not be able to compete with them KILLED ALL THESE so that every generation of Nigerians/Africans are now to be perpetually dependent on the West and now the East for EVERYTHING! HOW FOOLISH!

As a boy, whilst growing up, if any one in the village, both when I was at Okpoma and Ebo, was stung by a scorpion, they would bring the person to me. But what happened to that rare gifting? WESTERN EDUCATION KILLED IT, just as it has killed the GENETIC & INNATE TALENTS OF ALL MY NEPHEWS, NIECES AND OTHER YOUNG NIGERIANS/AFRICANS!
As a matter of fact, and unarguably too, AFRICANS PIONEERED TECHNOLOGY AND PROVIDED THE SOLID FOUNDATION FOR ITS TAKE OFF WORLDWIDE. If today, all Africans are importing everything they need for their sustenance from other lands/nations/continents, it is simply because AFRICANS ARE FOOLISH!

Having spent over 12 years now studying the evolution of Western technology beginning from the pre-industrial revolution era, the patterns from my findings began humbly as listed above, but because we have been made to hate ourselves and everything African, it has to come from the West to be described as a WONDER!
I have books and books and books upon books on global brands which Africans would spend stolen trillions of their countries money to beg to buy, and they all began either on the street corners, garages, kitchens, road sides, in a room apartment, living rooms, carts, wheel barrows. Ironically, all who want to think outside the box by starting small, in order to grow big are often derided in Africa, particularly in Nigeria. Nigerian women will fall for any worthless person just because that person is working in an oil company, banks, a global brand without having a thought as to how all these began, but would look down on any STRUGGLING MAN starting small and humbly. I hear they now mill like flies around the rogues, vultures and the worms in ABUJATOL.

TATA started from the backyard, but Brigadier-General Buba Marwa as Lagos State Governor against our advice preferred TATA tricycles to the ones being made by our members - I mean FOUNDRY ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA. We recommended Chief Olowu and his ADDIS ENGINEERING at Matori and many, many, many of our memebers' products, but to the then "Wonder" Military Administrator of Lagos, India was nearer and perhaps, cheaper than Matori! The rest is now history.

And if President Muhammadu Buhari is really, really serious about kick-starting our technological vision, the starting point is FOUNDRY and I'm recommending General Sam Momah, who together with the late scientific and technological genius Gordian Ezekwe, I worked very closely with as Executive Secretary Foundry Association of Nigeria, whilst the two held forth as Minister of Science and Technology, and Chairman/CE, National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI), respectively, as Minister for Science and Technology, while for Ministry of Defence, I am putting forward Generals Victor Malu (with due regard for his state of health) and Ishola Williams, that is, if the President is very serious about entering the nation's Hall of Fame after office.
Still on technology, the President generally, needs to get serious as Nigeria is a multi-dimensional-multi-sectoral economy and polity, hence in as much as it is great for all of us collectively to join hands and fight corruption, he must not give Nigerians, the whole wide world and posterity the impression that his mental faculty can and only contain/s just one idea: CORRUPTION - on this note, I would again as I have always been doing, call on him to put on his thinking cap!

When Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his political egrets - the erstwhile pseudo Marxists and neo-liberal intellectuals had not yet discovered Buhammadu Muhari was out to pursue ethno-religio-sectional/geographical agenda, ideas were gushing out from the Tinubu Camp like the gushing Meribah waters, even when Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was still President, all aimed at spiting the former President, but now that Buhari's nepotistic agenda has been uncovered by the Asiwaju Camp and they are now being circumspect, Muhammadu Buhari and his cohorts have been left dry - and are now DESTITUTE OF IDEAS, hence no longer flowing, are all those socialist-Marxian-neo-liberal ideas hitherto rehashed by the Tinubuites from the Fabian Society and the British Labour Party, where Obafemi Awolowo got his idea of EDUCATION RELIEF he had erroneously tagged FREE EDUCATION and which his naive kinsmen and women and other Nigerians had swallowed hook line and sinker that there was indeed, FREE EDUCATION in the Western Region under Obafemi Awolowo, when what in fact, happended was a TAX RELIEF ON EDUCATION, but the parents/guardians of the children of that generation had to be made to pay more in other sectors to make up or pay for the TAX RELIEF ON EDUCATION in the then Western Region under Awolowo and his Action Group! NO FREE LUNCH anywhere in the world you know!

Prior to the electioneering campaigns; throughout the campaigns and up till now, I have been warning the nation Buhari is not a nationalist/patriot/statesman, so would not ensure balance in the polity, and thus far, I have been vindicated.

Whilst all I stand for and would like to be remembered for as I course through this life is my stance on justice and fairness; peace, progress and universal altruism for all humanity, it is saddening to note that Southerners have continued to play the role of second class citizens in their own country and allowed their compatriots on the other half of the nation to fix themselves in all strategic offices in the land in the manner of the errors of the past.
Despite this short-changing of the Southerners by the Caliphate agents in Government (CAIG), since the 1960s till the very present, it has been the Southerners in their governments that they always rely on for ideas with which to govern Nigeria, whilst all they do is to sign papers/documents after having been read out to them by the Southern writers and sometimes executive summaries are prepared for them telegraphically, whilst all they do in all those plum/strategic and exalted offices is to share oil blocks amongst themselves and corner all the nation's resources, plum and strategic appointments to themselves and grudgingly to their cronies in the South, treating their compatriots from the Christian South and the Midland with utter disdain as mere kafirs!

Again and again, I have cried out that Bola Ahmed Tinubu like Obafemi Awolowo went into an alliance with the House of Uthman Dan Fodio without terms, conditions and benefits - in this strange alliance did not spell out how elective offices/political offices in the land and abroad would be shared and the North which have from the beginning known what they wanted in the Nigerian Federation, especially whilst the Union lasted, and acting on a script dating back to the colonial period have always demonstrated foresight and supra-level strategy - so the whole delay of all motion and no movement may just be a strategically delay tactics to wangle their way through, manoeuvre and corner things to themselves after all!

But whilst the water is just ankle deep or it is morning yet on creation day in the life of the APC-led administration, will other Nigerians rise and join with me in demanding fairness and balance in all apects of the nation's life and force Muhammadu Buhari to do the needful and patroitic thing?
Lamentably, despite my alerting the nation well ahead of time, Southern leaders are just waking up from their slumber. But do you wonder why the Christian Association of Nigeria is not saying anything in the midst of BUHAMMADU MUHARI'S glaring nepotism?

TALK AND I WILL EXPOSE YOU!

BUT WHERE ARE THE CHRISTIAN LEADERS IN NIGERIA?
They have compromised themselves eating with Caesar, hence they have buried their heads in shame and are silent in their guiltiness, while injustices and sharia like a wild fire in the harmattan spread intractably across the country. With all sense of responsibility, I dare say: CAN is now a liability as well as most clergy of today in Nigeria, just like their jets, universities, obscene properties, extravagant lifestyles including their ill-gotten wealth.

Therefore, the Christians in Nigeria need a new body - CHRISTIAN COUNCIL OF NIGERIA (CCN), GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA (GACN), FEDERATION OF THE CHURCHES IN NIGERIA (FCN), COUNCIL OF THE CHURCHES IN NIGERIA (CCN), GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE CHURCH IN NIGERIA (GACN), SUPREME COUNCIL OF THE CHURCH IN NIGERIA (SCCN), SUPREME COUNCIL OF THE NIGERIAN CHURCHES (SCCN), CHRISTIAN COMMISSION OF NIGERIA (CCN), CHRISTIAN AUTHORITY OF NIGERIA (CAN)?
FOOLISHLY AND VERY NAIVELY TOO, THE EVANGELICALS/BORN AGAINS/JEHOVAH WITNESSES/PENTECOSTALS ARE SAYING: "OUR KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD", WHILST INJUSTICES REIGN SUPREME IN NIGERIA!
And out of their gross naivety and stupidity, they often counsel feebly: "Ah, leave them..don't be judgemental...God will judge them. Just leave them, you alone cannot clean up Nigeria. Corruption has been there even before you were born. Why are troubling yourself."

HEAD OF SERVICE AS PART OF THE PRESIDENT'S TEAMLESS TEAM

Mr Danladi Kifasi (Christian/North).
FEDERAL CHARLATAN (CHARACTER) COMMISSION
Alhaji Muhammed Alkali, Chairman
SCRAP THE FEDERAL CHARLATAN COMMISSION NOW!
Although an excellent idea in a multicultural-multi-lingual-multi-religious polity such as Nigeria, it has simply since its establishment in 1996 proved totally useless with all of its decision-making staff and become a mere money-guzzling outfit. Hence I want to again as I had been doing for years now call for the immediate scrapping of this SATANIC and Arewa outfit and I hereby call on all well-meaning Nigerians to join me in calling all of its principal staff one by one and shaming all of them and going ahead to call on the FCC's Chairman Alhaji Muhammed Alkali to resign immediately as he is NOT fit for purpose and NO GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY!
Go, Alkali! Alkali, go! You are simply USELESS in that office, GO!

Above were the names and States of origin of members of BUHARI's Supreme Military Council. Then the SMC was the highest lawmaking body in the land - unarguably the equivalent of the Apex Legislative Assembly, your so-called National Assembly - the Senate and the House of Representatives combined.
It must NOT be lost on Nigerians that out of the 16 Council members of the then SMC Bigot Buhari appointed 11 from the North, leaving the whole South with just 5 members!
The danger inherent in this type of lopsided composition of the national decision making body in a military setting is better left in the realm of the imagination.
