NOT THE NIGERIA OF MY DREAM
“Ipoola as a strategist and gallant officer should be embarrassed, and if indeed, he truly loves Nigeria as it has been his dream for historians to so record him for posterity and have as his epitaph: Here lies the body of a gallant General, who loves Nigeria and gave his youth fighting to keep her together – he should be having sleepless nights over the unnecessary prolongation of the war on terror, which by my reckoning is a mere 12-hour operation, but has been ongoing for between 10/15 years now.
Every General in Nigeria, whether serving or retired, whether war General or a Disco-Brukutu-Pepper Soup General such as Tukur Buratai, who has been jumping about with a band of treacherous officers and men, deceiving himself, the nation and the world that he has been fighting terrorists – should all hang up their heads in shame for collectively allowing our nation’s strategic defence to be so exposed as very, very weak, grossly deficient and inefficient, hence very incapable of withstanding any form of external aggression as just a band of miscreants has held the Nigerian nation to ransom for upward of 15 years now.”
Does anyone still wonder why Bakassi was chopped off from Nigeria by Cameroon in collaboration with their international backers, France particularly under the very watch of self-righteous and vainglorious Olu Obasanjo, that notorious inaugurator of DO OR DIE politics and the pioneer of GHANA MUST GO GRATIFICATION in Nigeria?
Therefore, summoning Ipoola Alani Akinrinade and other fellow Nigerians, I should like to ask all collectively and individually: IS THIS THE NIGERIA OF YOUR DREAM?
ACCOUNTABILITY AND DEMOCRACY COMMISSION (ADC)…NOW IS THE TIME FOR NATIONAL RESTITUTION
8But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the LORD, "Look, LORD! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount." 9Jesus said to him, " Luke 19:8-9.
So how then can all this ugliness be arrested/halted/captured and be subdued in addition to removing the ant-infested faggots which the military and the politicians have brought into the House of Nigeria?
Firstly, an Accountability and Democracy Commission have to be set up to summon every Ipoola and members of his generation, and all those before him, who are still alive, including their offspring, other family members and their cronies to the national tribunal, whereupon all they who had conspired to truncate democracy – here we mean, all the professional hijackers of democracy (PhD) in Nigeria by way of coups and counter-coups, starting from the first one of January 15th, 1966, and afterwards turn round to corruptly enrich themselves, their families, friends and cronies, and creating a culture of wealth without sweating – wealth without working will be tried and sentenced to life in prison, as well as stripping all of them of their military ranks, and all national honours and chieftaincy titles that had been awarded them by any government, and those irresponsible and morally bankrupt traditional rulers that had so awarded them such traditional titles for pecuniary gains. As for those dead, they should have their ranks and such other undeserved honours/awards stripped off them posthumously.
Ipoola has been tried in the people’s court and found guilty of Ipoola folly, Alanian hubris and Akirinadean faux pas!
And he has to do a mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, just as every Nigerian severally and the nation as a whole must so be penitent in like manner.
The khaki boys in Nigeria must come to the national altar with penitent hearts, ask God for forgiveness for all their sins against Nigeria – their unwarranted interruption in the democratic processes in Nigeria, robbing Nigeria and Nigerians of continuity in democratic processes, their national commons, inaugurating the culture of wealth without sweating (wealth without working), yielding themselves to the Fulbe and Arab colonialists, who took over on the departure of the British colonialists. And if they are truly penitent, they must emulate the Biblical Zacchaeus and restitute accordingly, Luke 19:1-10.
BETTER TO BE A COW THAN A HUMAN BEING IN MUHAMMADU BUHARI’S NIGERIA
“So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents”, 1 Kings 12:16.
Again, what should be the concern of every citizen is the fact that under the present dispensation, many Nigerians would like to transform themselves into cows to be spared the coming onslaught worse than any they had seen before under Muhammadu Buhari, whose NEXT LEVEL will be the most vicious in human history and civilization. In just a matter of time, blood will again flow everywhere in the Middle Belt and in other parts of the nation, in fact, worse than any before.
Does every Ipoola care that in less than three and a half years, Ayatollah Rehoboam Muhammadu Buhari, the Arab’s Governor General in the now ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA has taken our nation back over three and a half centuries?
Do Ipoola, his cohort Generals, the press in Nigeria and the Nigerian people know that in the redrawn map of Nigeria, the Fulbe elites have claimed that their Bororo brethren – the Fulani herders/pastoralists can be found in 29 states of Nigeria?
These potentially mean 29 colonies; and 29 colonies equal 29 emirates. By the reckoning of those Nigerian that are blessed with critical insight and analysis, Rehoboam Muhammadu Buhari, Ipoola’s Lord and Master has seven states to capture in order to fulfil the dream of the Arab colonialists, Uthman Dan Fodio, arrogant and disdainful Ahmadu Bello and the Fulani-Hausa-Kanuri elites/cabals of capturing both the erstwhile Upper and Lower Niger to rule this now vast Arab-Fulbe Empire (AFE) from the desert to the sea/ocean, paving the way for the introduction of full-blown Sharia in every nook and cranny of the now ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA (IRN)!
Thus, Rehoboam’s NEXT LEVEL will be to deliver the remaining 7 states to the Arabs, who were in fact, the first to destroy the Black civilization from 4500 B.C. till the very present – in modern days Nigeria, through their “willing tools” the Fulbes, through local terrorists such as Boko Haram, Ansaru, ISIS West Africa (ISWA), Al-Qaida in the Maghreb, the OIC, the Islamic Development Bank, D-8, and modern African generally speaking, through Al-Qaida, Al-Shabaab, Janjaweed, through these institutions as mentioned – using both direct and indirect rules, and ruling African countries like the jihadist Rehoboam Buhari.
Already, Tai Solarin and Akinola Aguda, two of Ipoola’s kinsmen had in their life times helped the quartet of the Arabs, Fulbes, Hausas and Kanuris by delivering Abuja to them on a platter of gold using korokoro lie (naked lie) of traffic congestion in Lagos and the fact that having the capital of Nigeria in Lagos makes the Nigerian nation susceptible to external attacks – and all Nigerians, including gallant Ipoola fell for this lie like shaky-shaky Esau before a mess of pottage!
When some fools in our midst would through sheer force/state terrorism embark on cultural redistribution for the pleasure of their Arab cousins against natural/biological and geographical logic, what are they in essence courting? WAR! Again, I say War, war and nothing but war of immense proportion, and Britain and the international community must not stand by and watch the quartet of ARAB, FULANI, HAUSAS AND THE KANURIS so recalibrate and clone Nigeria, especially in the image of the Arabs and Islam, because all Europe cannot contain the swarms, caravan of migrants from Nigeria and the whole of West Africa to Europe.
It is a modern-day experiment by, especially the Arabs and the Fulanis thinking that the success of this cultural dilution/redistrubution vis a vis the total Islamification of the whole of Anglophone-Francophoe West Africa will enable them to replicate the pilot project in the whole of Africa!
Having been in this matter for 27 years now, I am aware from all of my investigations spanning these years that most Bororos due to unfavourable environmental conditions up North – both natural and man-have migrated from Northern Nigeria to Cameroon, Central African Republic, Gabon, etc.
And it is the intention of Muhammadu Busharia to bring back these brethren of his to Nigeria and settle them in the 36 states of the Federation, including Abuja environ. Even other non-Nigerian pastoralists that live in other West African countries such as Ghana, considered generally unfriendly to the herders/nomads/Fulanis/Zongo are being encouraged to relocate to Nigerian by their brethren in Nigeria. Is Muhammadu Buhari not the President of the West African Cattle Breeders Association (WACBA)?
This is part of his NEXT LEVEL’S AGENDA, including the total Islamification of Nigeria, and by extension, the whole of WEST AFRICA.
In Buhari’s NEXT LEVEL, he will NOT even think about the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria just as he has been doing during his Second Intifada and his NEXT LEVEL is in fact, the Third Intifada.
Buhari is not alone in this. In fact, all palaces answerable to the Sultan of Sokoto are solidly behind him, including all his so-called “Or Brethren” from the East and from all the Islamic nations and the Muslim Ummah in and around the world.
It is quite unfortunate and very laughable too that the indigenous First Nation Nigerians have never in the real sense of the word been ruled by one of their own. Since independence, Nigeria has consistently been ruled by its ALMAGAMATED (SECOND NATION ) CITIZENS – the Fulanis in an unholy alliance with the Hausas, the Kanuris, their Arab cousins, for whom they are holding Nigeria as a trust territory, and by extension, the Yorubas who have been playing the second fiddle in this unholy alliance as if still infected with the spirit of Afonja of old.
As an example, the following Yoruba sons are in my reckoning the modern day Afonjas, helping the Arabs-Fulanis-Hausas and the Kanuris to capture territories/lands belonging to the INDIGENOUS FIRST NATION CITIZENS: Idiot Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Igbiriji indigene, now the Emperor of Lagos, Guguru/Gbanjo/Oluwole ‘Professor’ Oluleke Osinbajo, Lai Mohammed and Femi Adesina, including that Idoma idiot, INNOCENT OGBEH, who has been helping his Arab-Fulbe colonial masters to scout for lands all over the Nigerian territory. I know very well that before returning to Government, Ongbalipu Inno was thoroughly broke like a church rat.
It is therefore, no surprising that he is enthusiastically pleasing his masters in the land grabbing spree as he criss-crosses our Nigeria looking for every GOSHEN to grab/seize, whilst constantly leaking his master’s plates and boots and picking crumbs that fall from his master’s table.
But whilst like Esau, Innocent is snatching land for his Fulbe and Arab colonial masters, he himself and his people, the Idomas – and in fact, all the Middle Belters and the whole of the geographical Midland/Heartland/Middle Belt are a prime target as the Fulbes are poised to behead every traditional ruler in that axis of political prostitution and install emirs.
Thus, even Innocent Ogbeh like General D.Y. (Defend Yourself) has since his born days refused to show off his Christian identity/credentials by hanging on his neck, the label and the passport – AUDU -, so he could play Esau and mix freely with his colonial masters in the courts and palaces of his Fulbe-Hausa-Kanuri masters, he and the now Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma must bear in mind God’s eternal message to them and all the Esaus of the Middle Belt: “Whatever you plant is what you'll harvest. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. Do not deceive yourselves; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows that shall he also reap. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap,” Galatians 6:7.
Brother Theo no longer hides his Christian name because he has used his two passports to access the NATIONAL CAKE OVUM/BAKERY YAKUBU & DANJUMA to help himself to his fill, including securing those of his family members, and topping it up with the then $500 million a day oil blocks.
But just how much do the wells worth now, T.Y. or I should say: D.Y.?
Bros even now thinks he is a leading light in championing the cause of Christians in Nigeria, even if very weakly and cautiously done so as not to have his BREAD & BUTTER snatched from him by his Fulbe-Hausa-Kanuri colonial masters who have been using him as a very enthusiastic “willing tool” since enlisting in the Army.
But when will Brother Theo do his mea culpa for being a key *accessory to all the evils that have brought the Nigerian state to where we are now such as has made it very, very easy for the Buharis of this world to be carrying out their ongoing bestiality and monstrosity arising from his scorched earth policy on the Nigerian people?
Also, Bros me, is notorious for being found in the wrong historical routes of the Nigerian historical network of roads – and taking cognizance of the fact that Bro Theo is now in his twilight, methinks it is long over due to face the nation and say: I’M SORRY FOR WHAT I HAVE TAKEN OUR NATION THROUGH WHILST MY PUBLIC LIFE LASTED, and then following this with a visit to Mrs Victoria Johnson Umunakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi to plead for her forgiveness by kneeling down before her with a penitent heart and weeping very profusely before her, her children, grandchildren, family members and all the good people of Umuahia-Ibeku, for the sorrow he and his gang of murderers have caused them over the years and utter the three-letter word: IAS.
Bro Theo, BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, FOR ST. PETER STANDETH AT THE GATE WAITING FOR THY ARRIVAL WITH BULALA/KOBOKO. A word is enough for the wise.
FIRST NATIONS’ CITIZENS VS MUHAMMADU BUHARI’S AND THE ARAB-FULANI’S EARTH SCORCHED POLICY IN MODERN NIGERIA
But why consistently, has the FIRST NATION been ruled by strangers – the SECOND NATION who are merely strangers and POLITCAL CITIZENS, better still AMALGAMATED CITZENS of the original NIGER AREA (Upper and Lower Niger)?
Yet another poser: Why is it that in every leadership arrangement since the departure of the British colonialists in the ‘60s, Nigeria has always ended up having the Fulanis who are mere strangers in our midst, therefore, non-indigenous at the top, making them afterwards to dominate every political, military (security and defence) spheres and spaces – and now the cultural, the economic, the agricultural and the social, etc, etc?
The Fulbes and other nomads are a wandering race, so do not naturally own any land anywhere on the surface of the earth. Therefore, whatever geographical space/s they have today to call their own were forcefully taken over through sheer force – after having killed the original owners/settlers/indigenous people.
In the past, they had been used by the Arabs and the Turks to steal, kill, maim destroy indigenous people and having done so, the Arabs then took over their lands.
That is the story of the whole of North Africa, where the Dark-skinned people were killed, displaced and had their ancestral lands taken over from them by the Arabs, such that in all of North Africa – Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya, Sudan, the indigenous people wherever they still scantily existed are today the minorities.
Thus, Muhammadu Buhari is just following the history of his race, just like Uthman Dan Fodio and Ahmadu Bello. Once the nomads had helped the Arabs to destroy the indigenous males and their male children especially, they embarked on population and racial dilution by taking over the wives of their enemies, in this wise, the Dark-skinned women and began to procreate through them, hence you have the semi-Arabs today all over the place – in North Africa and Northern Nigeria of today and the West Central of Nigeria, the Middle Belt of Ilorin, where arguably over 95% of the Ilorin people of Nigeria today have the Fulbe genes/DNA. And this is what will happen in the coming days that the Fulbe elites having redrawn the map of Nigeria in the ongoing earth scorched policy now claimed the Fulanis can be found in 29 States of Federal Republic of Nigeria, better to be known and called under monster Muhammadu Buhari as the ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA!
They will kill the men and all males in the FIRST NATION/S area of the Upper and Lower Niger, and then go on to possess their ancestral lands, wives and all girls for the purpose of procreation by embarking on population/biological dilution jihad/programme, including the killing/beheading of traditional rulers of the FIRST NATION/S, thus, replacing indigenous kingdoms (with the establishment of) emirates by converting the so-called colonies to such nonsense and afterwards introduce/entrench Sharia, whilst the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is replaced, with Islam becoming the national religion and Hausa, the lingua franca! Let my people watch out.
The way and manner Muhammadu Buhari like a man running after Noah’s Ark is very desperately pursuing his land-grabbing (agenda) spree – territorial expansion and cultural imperialism undoubtedly looks like Ahmadu Bello did whisper something into his two-two ears before he was killed on the 15th of January 1966.
Buhari is in fact, a beneficiary of the Ahmadu Bello-Hanssan Katsina-Zakaria Maimalari’s DOMINATION OF THE MILITARY AND THE POLICE PROJECT by the North – with or without certificate, literate or illiterate.
The General Tukur Buratai WAZOBIA PROJECT is in fact, part of the Arab-Uthman Dan Fodio-Ahmadu Bello jihadi script.
And thus far, Buhari has achieved 97%, the remaining 3% of which will be completed in his THIRD MISSIONARY JOURNEY – the Third Intifada!
But are the Nigerian people and the international community ready to accommodate this shameless official or state terrorist for another four years?
Unarguably, one thing is certain, whether Muhammadu Buhari wins or not, they will be political eruptions of immense magnitude in the land as the whole of Nigeria now sits on what I’d like to call TROPICAL RING OF FIRE, being now super-volcanic, super-sensitive and supra-eruptive!
ARABISM, BUHARIOCRACY AND ISLAMISM IN NIGERIA
Hence, Ipoola and his fellow Generals defending their god, Islamist/jihadi Muhammadu Buhari, including all Buhariocrats should be concerned about the fact that under MB, our Nigeria is now the biggest abattoir/slaughter slab in the world. Worse still, the real RELIGIOUS WAR in Nigeria has just arrived the Nigerian shores, and the nation is set to explode any moment!
How will Ipoola like the impeding trumpet sound: TO THY TENTS O ISRAEL?
Of concern to the generality of Nigerians also, should be the current yawning chasm in the Nigerian system, such that every little corner of the republic has been highly polarised; young Nigerians are more in crimes now than in schools; the young Nigerians in Yakoyo and elsewhere in the Federation who are now out of school, and those in schools, colleges and the universities are still receiving the non-creative, non-innovative, non-inventive, non-questioning, non-critical, non-insightful and the non-competitive colonial education, whose end is a mere meal ticket, which unfortunately, cannot even buy them a packet of guguru (popcorn) any more, whether in Nigeria or globally.
Ipoola should embark on a tour of all the educational institutions in Yakoyo and the whole of Ile-Ife, and he will find out that they are all still using the colonial and traditional method of teaching and learning – a sort of teaching devoid of VAK/VARK principles (visual, aural, read/write and kinaesthetic) and equally devoid of technological education, in which teaching and learning, neither depends on extant technologies or the emerging ones – blackboards and chalks are still being used without computer/the internet, ActivInspire, Powerpoint, Moodle, etc!
Sadly too, there isn’t any SEND (Special Education Needs and Development) Programme for the educationally and the physically challenged learners (learners with learning disabilities).
This automatically means the nation’s antediluvian system of education lacks differentiation and inclusivity – two important ingredients that are of extreme importance in modern teaching and learning. More so, in a multi-lingual, multi-cultural setting like Nigeria.
Need I add here that in addition to the pre-historic method of teaching and learning in the formal education setting in Nigeria, our schools, colleges and the universities, including the non-conventional schools such as professional schools and colleges – schools of nursing, catering and the rest in this very category are nothing, but dens of armed robbers, bandits, cultists, kidnappers, social/political and economic thugs, militants, and other such criminals, and brothels, motels, inns, lodges, etc.
Take a tour of these institutions, especially the universities, technologies and polytechnics and see what types of cars students are using, the girls (female students) print prostitution cards which they call “business cards” and engage innocent urchins/other youngsters who strategically stay/hang around at universities car parks, looking for clients/customers for them – the highest bidders, especially those with obscene cars that these Jezebels refer to as CLASSY CARS, just by showing these irresponsible customers most of whom are married men the pictures/portraits, selfies/pictures on mobile phone screens of these graduate/undergraduate prostitutes on Nigerian universities campuses (tertiary generally) alongside their other details such as mobile numbers, hostels, room numbers, statistics, etc, with the slogan: I GO DO YOU WELL, LUVY.
Despite their lascivious lifestyles, these CAMPUS PROTITUTES also parade their ‘spiritual’ credentials as BORN AGAIN, the sort of hypocrites which a friend usually refers to as BORN AGAINST!
THE UNPARALLELED LOVE OF MONEY BY NIGERIANS IS THE ROOT OF ALL THE EVILS IN NIGERIA
“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows,” 1 Timothy 6:10
At the heart of all of Nigeria’s problems is what my little cousin Tom used to refer to as neni (money) – money is the very reason why every Nigerian has gone wild and mad, and at the risk of over generalization, corruption and criminality will continue, unless all the malady of acquiring wealth without working/sweating is seriously addressed.
And failing to address these by the Nigerian people and their governments, culminating in the re-arrangement of values, whose end is NATIONAL REBIRTH, will make any fight against corruption in that nation end in futility and resources wasted for nothing.
WITHOUT LOVE… (SA RE WA) RUN COME-CHOP-CLEAN-MOUTH-RUN-COMMOT
“Deep waters call out to what is deeper still…,” Psalms 42:7.
In Nigeria, people don’t have natural relationship because every relationship is tied to something – WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME (?), especially neni (money).
Nigerian ladies/women/girls will not accept the hand of a man in marriage, except the man is “loaded” – has the so-called classy car/s and live on Banana Island.
Before it used to be such former postcolonial residential areas as GRA, Ikeja, Victoria Island, Ikoyi, thereafter Greater Lagos, Surulere, Yaba, Marine Road, Apapa, Festac Town, Navy Town, Lekki Peninsula, Opebi/Allen Avenue, Adeniyi Jones, Ikeja, Ogudu GRA, Dolphin Estate, Raji Rasaki’s Maroko, which I will like to call here as the New Maroko, Asokoro in Abuja, etc.
Even your family member will avoid you like a plague if you don’t have money in their reckoning as a graduate, more so, if you hold an executive level position and refuse to partake of the mad dance – the so-called national cake.
An elder biological sister of mine once warned her daughter: “Don’t go to uncle (Odey), that church he attends has used something to turn his brain. That is why he refuses money when given or runs away from money. If he doesn’t want to take, why can’t he just collect it and give it to those will accept it?”
It is a well-known and documented fact that Nigerian ladies/women/girls are notoriously supra-materialistic, hence men the world over avoid them like plagues.
Meeting a typical Nigerian girl for the first time, especially when she senses you are serious, she will want to know what type of car you have, to see if you fit into the class of men she has upstairs as potential suitors; what work you do, type of house in which you live, whether owned by you or rented; your salaries, family – extended families, whether large or small, how often you send money to them?
If in the long run, she perceives there aren’t superabundant gold in your minefield for her to dig with great benefits for herself and family, this our sister sa re wa (Yoruba, for run come), chop clean mouth would scamper away after the first mindless ‘mining’ from your ‘minefield’, leaving you spent and broken-hearted.
Having scraped you dry, she goes scouting in another minefield, especially at MR GOOD FOR NOTHING’s Acres of Diamond and political money mountains at the Presidency, State Houses, the so-called National Assembly, the so-called Prosperity Churches, Apo Village, palaces, etc, etc, where she hopes to maximally extort money from the dunderheads occupying these places of dishonour to buy her ‘miracle’ cars and houses – what the Nigerian ladies and their Mammonic pastors and imams unashamedly refer to as “God’s blessings/miracles”, those classy/very obscene and very expensive cars, whose worth are in the range of £$N100, 000, 000 and start living the Maryam-Babangidian and Nollywood-beyond-life type of lifestyle – faking it/exhibiting it on the SOJA MEDIA (social media), boasting of their so-called wealth in the manner of Sonny Odogwu – such wealth as without foundation they are billionaires!
In their self-righteousness aimed at assuaging the guilt/inner torment arising from their past livess of commercializing and commodifying their bodies - selling themselves to every Omagu and Omaga – to the highest bidders, and having made their so-called billions, they then assigned themselves the task of going from school to school to ‘mentor’ young girls on sexuality education – especially the aspect of sexual abstinence, which they themselves never practised, condemning sex before marriage.
But these are just a cover up to assuage their guilty conscience. Also, at best, such ‘charity’ work, if it is one at all, are a way of massaging their fragile ego and further exhibit their wealth built on sand!
Student sex workers and non-commercial sex workers (of the boy/girlfriend type) who in the past were derided by the commercial sex workers (the original ashawos) as ashawo Fanta/ashawo Coke/ashawo buscuits and ashawo kobo-kobo are now the billionaire sex workers in high places and campuses, including of course, the scantily-cladded bank staff being exploited by their banks, forcing them into corporate prostitution, by giving them outrageous targets running into millions of N£$ which they must meet.
Some of these power corridor, corporate, evangelical and campus prostitutes who appear clever, having hit their desired targets as to the amount of money they aimed to ‘mine’ from the irresponsible men in high places, including jet-pastors and imams in business churches and mosques, for most evangelical pastors starting their so-called ministries anew would go and rent both campus, commercial and corporate prostitutes to attract ‘customers’ – men, luring unwary and the money-miss-roads into their Cathedrals of Shame and Extortion, would go on to set up websites and start blogging or establish Hair and Beauty Salons or set up schools of Fashion and Design.
OVER EXPECTATION
A nation gets the type of leaders it deserves, so is it now with Nigeria and in all places on the planet earth, inhabited by all persons of African ancestry.
The Nigerian people put pressure on all those holding important positions, constantly asking them to bring home their own shares, even if they don’t want to partake of the so-called NATIONAL CAKE EXTRAVANGAZA:
Starting from your family members, they chide their son or daughter, thus: “You just go siddon there, other people dey take their own. If you no wan chop, why you no go collect dey money come give us?”
They will call you all sorts of unprintable names, concluding you are sick, and if you are a child of God bent on maintaining your testimony, they will ask rhetorically: “Na you kill Jesus? Is that the worst sin a person can commit? Even Judas ma wey be one of the disciples of Jesus wise pass you – ‘m ma kuku ma take ‘im own. Na only mumu person oil no go rub ‘im body when they throw am inside am!”
Not done, they will further pressure: “You sure say you well so? Abi they done curse or swear for you? Look so and so wey just finish university and just get work now, now, see dey type of storey building he dey knack/mount in his village. Six ‘torey building gabadaya! Compare to you wey done finish university, ‘tay, ‘tay, you never come home, meaning you never build any house in your home village.”
They will invite you: “Come build house make your village people take them eyes see (not build house to live in, but for people to look at!).”
Your family members know too well that you are not being paid salaries, yet they will continue to trouble their son, thus: “Come marry!” This your kind mumu is not known in history. This type of mumu, you no sure say e for good make you no go school like the rest of us so?”
As a matter of fact, now that salaries are not being paid, they are clerks at the Federal Secretariat in Abuja who own posh houses in Abuja in exotic places, but when they report for duty in their offices, usually very late, starting from 11 a.m., they join the Pity Party Pessimistic Companions (PPPC) – condemning everything condemnable and blaming everything, blameable in Nigeria, thus syndicating their sorrows.
They wear dishevelled clothes to offices and wear torn trainers or very worn out and thoroughly patched sandal-slippers to work; they frequent MamaPut and order garri/ and eran-nhun-nhun or Konkre (cooked beans with powdered garri on top, whilst they are erecting marvellous wonders right there in Abuja and some in their villages – clerks owning mansions and castles with the most sophisticated type of swimming pools and car parks full of exotic/obscene cars!
So, if clerks could steal and own these wonders, you then wonder what the senior level civil servants in Nigeria can do with stolen money. Your imagination is as good as mine!
PLEASE LET US RETURN TO THE ERA OF A QUESTIONING SOCIETY LEFT US BY OUR FOREBEARS…BUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH AFRICANS? JUST WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE OF COLOUR?
Proactive policing means starting to question all this questionable wealth (wealth without working – www; wealth without sweating – wws; wealth without foundation – wwf) and prosecute their ‘owners’.
There is hardly a pastor/imam in Nigeria that did not have a very humble beginning, but look at the unearned wealth at their disposal today such that many of them glory in the public exhibition of dashing people mounds of money and exotic cars to show off how generous they are; the stupid Nigerian Muslim clerics/imams and some idiotic Muslim Governors do often organise Koran Cramming and Verbalization Competition (KCVC) as the Sultan of Sokoto is ever busy asking for moon appearances in the name of moon sighting at a time when nations, and most recently, China is now in the furthest part of the moon, whilst even the Muslim East have turned their deserts into marvellous cities - the most beautiful high rise buildings on the planet earth, even Dubai, to where Atiku Abubakar now leads all ignominious Nigerians, and the thoroughly bleached motor park touts/thugs/hired killers – agbero/onyebru are lavishing billions which ought to go to Local Government Councils in Nigeria in their traditional unbridled ostentatious lifestyle – spraying thousands of dollars and pounds on women of easy virtues at parties, riding equally exotic and obscene cars like the political and business crooks that abound in that nation.
But where are the police?
We must as a people jettison the insane culture of “We go washam-o”, “God done butter your bread”, “Na your blessing/s be that”, “God done bless you”, “Na miracle be that”, “ Na miracle of God”, “Na blessing/s from God, come do thanksgiving”, “Na dat one dem the call God’s favour”, “Your time done come”, “It means your time for enjoyment done come”, “Na your year of jubilee”, “God done do am for you…I tap into that type of blessing/anointing/favour/miracle”, “The God of Oyedepo go do am for me too”, “Make the God of Oyedepo remember me too-o”, “Pray for me make my time too come quick, quick, maza maza,” Na dat one dem dey call the miracle of God”, “Na dat one dem the call miracle repete”, “God done butter your own, my daughter/son…make you come do thanksgiving, follow am with Pastor’s offering; special thanksgiving, free will offering and Baba God own for Him to increase the good hand of God upon your life”, etc, etc.
To show how morally and spiritually the Nigerian people have sunk in their usual madness to get rich quick - get rich without sweating/working, no one these days ask any more, “From where or how you gettam (?)”, every Nigerian having become infected with the Miracle Syndrome or the Goodluck Syndrome.
And it does not matter if you kill, defraud, sleep with your mother or with your natural baby still on a colt as told by the ritualists to get such ‘wealth’.
What is more, the Royal Rubbish are they to compete with one another to reward your thievery/fraud/corruption/murder with chieftaincy titles!
Isn’t it about time we had ETHICS, MORALITY & PHILOSOPHY MINISTRY?
But who audits these pastors and imams?
It is high time the Government at all levels and civil society groups showed interest in the money these crooks and rogues are extorting from gullible Nigerians by way of auditing their accounts through Government and independent auditors, with Governments not only taxing/levying them heavily, but appointing public representatives to sit on their Board of Trustees, as well as the civil society groups having their own representatives on these Boards through appropriate legislations.
What is more, the Lagos State Government, civil society groups and concerned individuals must as a matter of urgency, institute a suit against Enoch Adejare Adeboye and the RCCG, and other religious groups/organisations for the unnecessary and avoidable traffic they have been causing over the years on the Lagos-Ibadan Express way, making them pay for all the obstructions and nuisances they have been causing to motorists, individuals, Lagosians, other Nigerians and to the Lagos State and the national economies.
It is not unlikely that the Lagos State and the Federal Governments have been losing $50 million per hour because of traffic, other menace and obstructions caused by religious activities on this highway.
Christianity is not about gathering crowds, but for WHOSOEVER WILL. The Holy Ghost Nights and other church/mosque activities on the Lagos-Ibadan Express Way must be zoned, henceforth, as well as pegging the number of attendances to the lowest minimum, taking cognizance also, of the grave security implications of gathering such crowds in this Age of global terrorism.
The Police authorities in Nigeria must take note and act accordingly and very fast too!
