ANATOMY OF CRIMES IN NIGERIA: SOME FACTORS ACTING AS CATALYSTS FOR ENDEMIC CRIMES IN NIGERIA AND THE STRATEGIC THINKING NEEDED TO COMBAT THEM

“I hear you…”

• George Bush Jr.

SERIES 5

As he continues the serialization of his latest book, “The National Crimebuster”, JOHN ODEY ADUMA urges his fellow Nigerians, home and in the diaspora to embrace the Nigerian spirits of resilience, indefatigability and invincibility, believing that the current pervasive insecurity in the land is mere water under the bridge, a mist that will dry up at the break of dawn and a mere darkness that will disappear at the appearing of light, and holding very strongly that Nigeria will rise again and rule the world. Happy reading:

“Go therefore, to meet the foe with two objects before you, either victory or death. For men animated by such a spirit must always overcome their adversaries, since they go into battle ready to throw away their lives.”

• Scipio Africanus, quoted in Julian Thompson’s “Call to Arms: Great Military Speeches From Ancient Greece to the Modern World”, (2009:20).

Muhammadu Buhari: A total misfit in Truck Nigeriayana....unidirectional, overwhelmed, supra clueless, totally spent and without an iota of ideas!

THE TERRIBLE STATE OF NATIONAL AND GLOBAL POLICING

IGP Usman Alkali Baba, psc (+), fdc, NPM
Inspector General of Police

                  The Police Pocket Notebook

1. Lack of moral restraint within the polity and the national system.
2. The ungovernable craze for chieftaincy titles. Let every award of chieftaincy title henceforth pass through the Federal Ministry of Culture for scrutiny and approval.
3. Children brought up without moral boundaries – in other words, a morally borderless generation of Nigeria and the world entire has sprung up without moral boundaries, growing up without the THOU SHALT NOT OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, courtesy of zero parenting and children growing up without the needed foundational messages.
4. General absence of THE NATIONAL MORALITY MODERATOR (NMM) or the NATIONAL MORALITY AND ETHICS MODERATING AGENCY (NMAEMA).
5. The culture of storing wealth by Nigerians, and indeed, Africans for generations yet unborn.
6. Diversity abuse/mismanagement – the example of nepotist/Mujahid Muhammadu Buhari resulting in the ongoing nationwide agitations and many more to come, both now and in the future if dialogue is not embraced now.
7. Paying ransoms during any form of abductions/kidnappings.
8. Existence of official terrorists, abductors, rapists, not necessarily sexual, but national common, hijackers, looters or ‘licensed’ looters, unknown looters, unidentified looters/rogues, pen robbers, thieves, just as you have the so-called prowling unknown/unidentified uniformed/gunmen within the Nigerian system, subversive elements within the entire Nigerian governance at all levels.
9. Absence of national institutions – civil service, national police, military and in all facets of our national life, hence we are running a nation that lacks a sense of belongingness and direction.
10. The Fulbe’s imperialistic and colonial mentality coupled with their eternal penchant for territorial expansion agenda, cultural/linguistic imperialism, political impositionism, economic hijacking and education hostages, thus preparing the grounds for nationwide Islamic education and the total Islamification of the entire country, eventuating in the introduction of a nationwide sharia.
11. The Fulanis’ tendency toward occupation force in the governance of the country, seeing themselves as princess and judges over the rest of the country. Exodus 2:14.
12. The deliberate destruction and wilful destabilization of the brewery economy in Nigeria by the Muslim/Sharia fanatics even when there is acute unemployment in the North as well as in the entire country. The Brewery industry must rise from their deep slumber and punish the whole parasitic, retrogressive, medievalist and retrogressive Sharia North for their folly, crass stupidity, purposeless wickedness, aggressive and unparalleled fanaticism. But did these fanatical Almajirai know Sir Ahmadu Bello set up the Nigeria Breweries Ltd? Then are they to tell the world in destroying this huge economy, they are more pious, and godlier than the Sardauna himself? How are these born parasites to in a highly systematised and networked economy separate the money that comes from the prostitutes, bandits, killer herdsmen, part-time, once in a while and professional rapists, the so-called unknown uniformed/unidentified gunmen, marabouts, pagans, heathens/voodoo priests, armed robbers, fraudsters, the corrupt politicians, who the whole North boast of more than anywhere in Nigeria, and indeed, in the world? Ha-ha! Who is deceiving whom? The very fanatical shariarists who will fill their flasks and kettles with alcohol and take to their hotel/motel/brothel rooms/suites and B&B to gulp/drink with under-age girls/boys, prostitutes, and people’s wives on their laps? If you think the veils – niqabs and hijabs are symbols of piety amongst the Muslim women both in the North and here in the West, pay a visit to hotels/motels/brothels/B&B, and see how the Muslim men do mess around with very fully veiled married Muslim women in these unholy places. And here in the West, just take a visit to pubs and see fully veiled sisters pious how they gyrate like mediums under Bacchic enthusiasm, especially at weekends. And talking about the lifestyles of the Princes and Princesses from the East – UAE? They indulge in lascivious lifestyles here in the West, messing around with some Western women and men, ‘worshiping’ at the feet of LORD BACCHUS in his ‘shrines’ – beer, wine + spirits (BWS) in pubs and return to the East to shout SHARIA! Ha-ha!

It is thus, an unspeakable hypocrisy, act of vandalism, criminal act of indescribable aggression and economic banditry, bestial and ferocious acts of criminality – unforgiveable economic sabotage and an unparalleled intransigence against the state, the jobless, posterity, the toiling Nigerian masses who 24/7 work to produce all products/beverages usually destroyed by Sada’s Sharia North.

And this nonsense has got to stop and stop forthwith it must. The brewery industry is an economy which has the potential capacity of employing millions of Nigerians, particularly our youths, some of who are now in the forests, hills, valleys and inside caves as bandits, jihadists/extremists/Islamists/terrorists/mujahedeen, armed robbers, prostitutes on the streets, on the streets with bowls begging for morsels, courtesy of the Fulani/Hausa supported Almajirai system all over the North just as that world’s notorious International Almajirai-in-Chief, stands at the gates called UGLY 24/7 asking for ‘alms’ from decent world leaders and at the gates of international financial institutions begging for money (loans)!

It is hereby to be proposed that all Sharia North must henceforth be excluded from VAT proceeds and allocations.

O Sada, resolve ye therefore, henceforth NOT to be a very retrogressive emir/Sultan anymore.

O Sada, give me thy North entire and I will green it in a second; and let the Nigerian people give the whole of Nigeria to me and I will green it in two seconds!

Again, Sada must here be reminded that where a constitutionally elected Government is in place even though epileptically, he does not enjoy any statutory right to always declare public holidays. Sada must be reminded that ONLY the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria can so declare public holidays via the Ministry of the Interior.

Sada must stop running a parallel Government in that country. Presidency, take note!

And a letter must be written to warn the Sultan over this his unbecoming behaviour. Once the moon has been sighted, Sada’s only role is to write to the Ministry of Interior who alone can declare public holidays on behalf of the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Nigerian people.

Lest I forget, Sada was wrong not to have reported deaths to appropriate authorities to be reflected/entered into the national data base.

13. Prevalence of the self-help justice system.
14. Activities of prayer warriors, marabouts, and voodoo priests.
15. Presence in the polity of Alternative Armed Forces (AAF) – tribal militias, vigilantes, private/regional police, armies, security, religious police, etc.
16. Absence of social, economic, political, cultural, and lately geographical security.
17. Increasing uncertainties of life in Nigeria, arising from especially, the current Nigerian tragedy, coupled with global uncertainties.
18. The culture of the end justifies the means.
19. Pervasive Machiavellianism in the polity
20. Pervasive nihilism within the Nigerian system.
21. Pervasive hedonism.
22. Pervasive epicureanism.
23. Our inherited colonial education.
24. Winners take all approach to all things Nigerian.
25. The culture of God Fatherism as introduced by Bola Ahmed Tinubu into the Nigerian politics/system.
26. Presence in the polity of tribal/regional fora/assembly/associations/organizations whose stock in trade is to always heat up the polity.
27. Tribal/regional/cultural/religious pressure groups in a hyper-sensitive, hyper-eruptive, hyper inflammable and hyper combustible polity like Nigeria.
28. The invasion of the newsroom and pages of newspapers/magazines and the social media by Hungry or Butter activists issuing press releases to endorse or warn opponents about one thing or another just to boost their ego, after they have given journalists kobo-kobo.
29. The hijacking of public spaces by commercial militants and separatists/insurrectionists.
30. The dumbing down of public debate such that national spaces have been hijacked by Igboho X, OPC X, IPOB X, Mc Oluomo, Dokubo X and such others!
31. Activities of ritualists who are patronised by those looking for quick wealth and fame, and such patronage by pastors, clerics, politicians, Nollywood actors/actresses, and others; lawyers, judges, traders, businessmen and women, cultists, motorists, traditional rulers, students, prostitutes, etc., involving human sacrifices and mouth watery money.
32. Fake prophets who have hijacked the pages of the newspapers in Nigeria, prophet-lying by issuing fake prophecies 24/7 after having giving journalists kobo-kobo. This is nothing but SPIRITUAL TERRORISM, SPIRITUAL BANDITRY, SPIRITUAL POLLUTION, SPIRITUAL CORRUPTION!
33. Activities of the so-called unknown uniformed gunmen, unidentified gunmen, etc, who in fact, are local and foreign jihadists prosecuting GLOBAL JIHAD in Nigeria in collusion with international jihadists/mujahedeen…THE TALIBANIZATION OF NIGERIAGHANISTAN just as in TALIBANGHANISTAN in Central Asia (Afghanistan).
34. Spiritual tyranny of Christian and Muslim leaders.
35. Activities of the officials of the NURTW in crimes ranging from hired killing or contracting their lieutenants, including bus conductors to kill their rivals, kill for politicians with fees ranging from N100, 000+++, rigging elections (BALLOT BOX SNATCHERS - BBS) for politicians, ‘preying’ on money which ought ordinarily to be collected by the LG officials, with such levies going into Local Government purses normally, but this has not been the case in Nigeria any more.
36. The menace of cattle rustlers in and around the country.
37. The criminal activities of foreign herders entering the country to graze illegally and without having their animals quarantined on entry into the country nor the foreign herders themselves, who in fact, are jihadists/mujahedeen in pastoralists clothing – accessing the country, courtesy of border porosity and Muhammadu Buhari – Rauf Aregbesola’s free visa policy!
38. The bizarre competition for headlines by ego centrists with fragile egos, political parties, tribal NGOs, POLIGEOZONAL NGOs which in most cases, are NOT registered, so illegal with their activities or unguarded utterances of their founders or so-called spokespersons heating up the polity.
39. Absence of strategic national security and defence policy (SNSDP).
40. Absence of post-Covid strategic national defence and security policy (PC-SNDSP).
41. Putting undue pressure on the boys fighting the jihadi criminal family – Boko, bandits, rapists (population/biological jihadists), Fulani killer shepherds and kidnappers can lead to disastrous consequences of the boys being fatigued beyond measure and under such atmosphere of undue pressures be forced to open fire indiscriminately on the first object/s on their radars – groups of persons, an individual or on any human habitation.
42. The volatility of persons regarded by the author as walking super-eruptive ‘volcanoes’ – persons with fragile egos and very short and uncontrollable fuse/temper.
43. In Nigeria, everybody is, and can be a contractor, especially Government contractors, from Area Boys/Girls/ballot boxes snatchers to traditional rulers without an iota knowledge of or having experience of construction in any least way whatsoever or having knowledge of/in the built environment without the NSE/COREN and the relevant association/s of the registered professional contractors or construction professionals generally speaking, raising an eye brow – no wonder, the worrisome number of building failures and abandoned projects that dots the nation’s land scape! We have in our midst people who just because they are connected to any Government in power (AGIP) are given contracts by the Government/s to construct schools, bridges, build business/retail parks/plazas/centres only to sell such contracts to the highest bidders, who will resell – and those to whom the contract had been sold would also resell and keep reselling until such a project is never built or constructed, but at the Ministry of Works, files for such projects would have this message/inscription about the same project thus: PROJECT/S COMPLETED. I am here writing as a former editor of Environment, Property, Real Estate and Development in some newspapers in Nigeria and worked very closely with the Ministries of Works and Housing/Environment at both the state and Federal levels. Sometimes, where such projects are constructed, say roads, be there – Trunks “A”, “B” or “C”, are washed away by the first light rainfall! Or if buildings, say school buildings, would collapse whilst lessons are ongoing, killing pupils/students and their teachers – Lateef Kayode Jakande’s chicken sheds, for example… NAIJA WE HAIL THEE!
44. Loquacious presidential aides without national consciousness and cultural sensitivities. We are hereby suggesting that since it is now the incurable habits of Mr Lying Lai Mohammed and those shameless presidential aides always lying and fooling the Nigerian people and the world that the President “Says”, when in fact, he has not said anything, always notoriously lying against the President in the name of the PRESIDENT SAID…; all press releases from ALL the so-called Presidential aides, all now competing as the PRESIDENTS OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA AND THE GOVERNMENT PARTY, must now pass through the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President so as to be personally vetted by Professor Ibrahim Agboola Gambari before being made available to the press in Nigeria or the global media or better still, through the Office of the VICE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA to be personally vetted by Vice President Oluleke Osinbanjo or through the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation to be personally vetted by Boss Mustapha or the Office of the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr Aisha Buhari, sorry, AISHA DUBAI, even if she has equally relocated her office to Dubai to be personally vetted by her, for at the end of day, whilst all those very irresponsible and COME CHOP Presidential aides (CCPAs) will lie, heat up the polity and if without any intervention from any person in that country since the country is currently experiencing a state of NO GOVERNMENT, NO GOVERNANCE AND NO GOVERNMENT PARTY in place, might lead Nigeria to war, courtesy of their lies and propaganda to earn their kobo-kobo, it is the entire MUHAMAMADU BUHARI FAMILY that will forever live with the shame and embarrassment of this time.

What is more lamentable, the hitherto very respected FEDERAL MINISTRY OF INFORMATION AND CULTURE has been reduced by that lying Lai Mohammed (LLM) who has done the most damage to the Nigerian integrity, national morality and national standards to the now MINISTRY OF LYINGFORMATION, PROPAGANDA AND ‘SHIORKOR. But why does the President of any serious nation need a GARRISON OF LIARS as his official spokespersons, especially in a super-sensitive, super-eruptive and highly inflammable/combustible polity like Nigeria?

All the so-called Presidential aides of Muhammadu Buhari combined have brought untold international shame and embarrassment to the nation and done irreparable damage to the image of Nigeria through their often resort to lie-telling, unparalleled propaganda, abuse, vulgarity, tyranny, dictatorship, agberoism, aggressive, bestial bolekajaism and threats in official communication, especially from that ideally speaking, the most trusted and exalted office in any democracy, even the Presidency.

As a matter of fact, with a reliable and responsible FEDERAL MINISTRY OF INFORMATION AND CULTURE, together with having a FEDERAL MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND CULTURE with character, integrity, honesty and national consciousness/sensitivity, a nation does not need such robotic, loquacious and very irresponsible parrots that have all turned themselves to a VICIOUS AND PURPOSELESS GARRISON, whose GARRISON COMMANDERS prowl the streets of the REPUBLIC with koboko, bulala and dagger – or should I say, ‘AK-47’ to whip to shape, the already hunger and poverty-stricken Nigerians and “shoot on sight” any “dog and baboon”, especially such as failed to obtain “clearance” before going to work on their farms!

Undoubtedly, under the current state of lamentable affairs in which the Nigerian state has been forced into the state of nature, rogue and failed state, axis of violence and a nation perpetually at war, the trio of Garba Shehu, Femi Adesina, and the DISHONOURABLE MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND ‘SHIORKOR, Lying Mohammed have constituted themselves into an ignominious TRIUMVIRATE that now rules Nigeria!

It is this writer’s candid suggestion that whenever the nation comes out of the mess into which they have put her – ALL POLITICAL CONFUSION (APC) and ALL PEACE CANCELLED - APC), the present Presidential Press Corp composing appointed individuals must be scrapped, and a new Presidential Press Corp which will report the activities and actual statements (and not having any egocentrists putting words any more in the mouth of MR PRESIDENT) of the PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA should be constituted and be a Department of the FEDERAL MINSITSRY OF INFORMATION AND CULTURE, and should either be based in the Presidency or in the Ministry’s Head office in Abuja, consisting of the best brains in Nigerian journalism, and of the rank of editors, all of whom will statutorily report the Presidency with the Minister of Information and Culture acting as the Government’s Editor-in-Chief or a new title such as MINISTER OF INFORMATION, CULTURE AND EDITOR-GENERAL OF THE FEDERATION be created, retaining its natural statutory responsibilities, in addition to reporting, writing and vetting all news coming from the Presidency – and thereafter, issue press releases to the media and sign as PRESIDENCIAL PRESS CORP (PPC) or by the HONOURABLE MINISTER OF INFORMATION, CULTURE & EDITOR-GENERAL OF THE FEDERATION!

WHAT SAYS THE PRESIDENT?

But just what has the President said?

Nothing!

Yet they said he said. So, what really did Mr President say or has he said?

The President did not say nothing, nor has he said anything, yet they said he said.

Then the President is either dead or alive, and if alive, deaf and dumb.

But is the President a robot, dolomite, marionette, or a puppet?

And if the President is not dead, let him then speak directly to the people or face the nation and address the people himself by himself.

45. Zero service culture, hence every Nigerian/African is a big man or woman – everyone wants to be served and no one wants to serve the other person. But the great lesson in servant-leadership is that they who want to be served must first of all learn to serve and serve well they must! And all who want to be great must first learn how to serve. (Luke 22:26).
46. The notion that BIG WO/MAN NO DEY GO PRISON.
47. The notion that PRISONS NO BE FOR BIG MAN/WOMAN.
48. THE NOTION THAT IN NIGERIA THE PRISONS ARE ONLY FOR THE POOR.
49. TINUBUAN THIEVERY AND PROFLIGACY
50. Irresponsible use of social media.
51. Activities of currency syndicates, money doublers and ritualists – getting wealth through juju/voodoo.
52. Activities of hungry activists like those behind MURIC and such other private NGOs, again, in most cases, illegal as they are all unregistered, desiring political appointments and contracts, who keep churning out press releases like the cascading Niagara Falls – and during electioneering campaigns, all suffering from delusion of grandeur, keep issuing press releases to endorse one party or another, and one candidate or another for elective offices and political offices in which they all hope to benefit in one way or another, especially if those they have endorsed win elections.

But should Nigerians appointed/elected to public offices henceforth swear by –

• AFRICAN JUJU
• THE BIBLE
• OR THE KORAN?

53. The culture of “I”, “I”, “I” and “Me”, “Me”, and “Me” and nobody else, but me! (Philippians 2:3).
54. Power drunkenness
55. Narcotic importation/smuggling across international, regional and national boundaries.
56. Foreign powers meddling with the internal affairs of weaker nations or the so-called failed states hoping to import democracy to these countries.
57. Proliferation of NGOs, tribal militia, ethnic and regional organizations.
58. Child predators/molesters.
59. Jet and Internet Age info-(con)stipation.
60. The growing cult of EXECUTIVE ALMAJIRAI (beggars), who having become unemployable after leaving senior level political appointments such as ministers turn themselves into NATIONAL NUISANCES, loitering around the corridors of power, and moving from one Government House to another, begging, but disguise as PROJECTS INSPECTORS.
61. Widespread culture of domestic violence rooted in outdated indigenous and religious cultures.
62. Nationwide culture of BORN THROW ‘WAY.
64. Rugatatorial/ruga-tyranny.
65. Title/position ‘alcoholism’ (titleholism/positionholism or intoxication.
66. Uniformholicism.
67. Cash and carry politics, whose pioneer is Olusegun Obasanjo – OLUSEGUN OBASANJO SYNDROME (OOS).
68. Do or die politics (EBORANIASIS), pioneer as above.
69. Ghana Must Go Syndrome (GMGS), pioneer as above.
70. Garrisoned politics (GP Syndrome) with Garrison Commanders all over the place, pioneer as above.
71. POLITICS OF NO VACANCY YET /SIT TIGHT/ELONGATED TENURE, EBORAJITIS or Acute Hilltop Greed and Selfishness Syndrome (AHG+SS), pioneer as above.
72. Amala politics (AMALAJITIS), pioneer as above.
73. SOLUTION TO NATIONAL/REGIONAL/ETHNIC PROBLEM/S WITH “OPERATION TOTAL WIPE OUT/EXTINCTION” – E.G., ODI, pioneer as above.
74. POLITICS OF TERRORISING OR TYRANNISING THE MINORITIES OR ETHNIC CLEASING AS THE CASE OF ZAKI BIAM, pioneer as above.
75. POLITICS OF DISPLACING THE POOR AND TAKING OVER THEIR LANDS, pioneer as above – MATIO AREMU OKIKIOLA OLUSEGUN OBASANJO (MAOOO).
76. Over emphasizing regional/tribal consciousness – turn by turn Plc or politics. Ordinarily, it would not have been a problem in a mature democracy if the President dies, but in Nigeria, due to the aforesaid regional tribal consciousness, it was a very big problem that unarguably pushed Nigeria to the brink when Umoru Musa Yar’Adua died in office in 2007, and it has so remained till date as some die-hard regionalists and tribal bigots are still saying the North did not complete its term as Goodluck Ebele Jonathan his natural successor, constitutionally speaking, in order to resolve the crisis at the time, was sworn in under the “Doctrine of Necessity” to complete the remainder years and went ahead to do another 4 year-term, which has been parochially and provincially regarded as the turn of the South South! If it is perceived to be a problem under the current arrangement in the constitution that the successor of a dead President would be his Vice President, in the new constitution the issue of a successor based on parochial and provincial politicking of turn by turn Plc, could become an entrenched provision in the constitution that if the President dies and still like Yar’Adua has some more years to complete, someone from his region/zone or ethnic nationality can be elected in an emergency election/arrangement to replace the dead President who did not complete his tenure before his time, instead of the current arrangement in the constitution whereby his Vice President is expected to succeed him. It is thus hoped that those political predators-salamanders-gluttonous wine bibbers-plate-liking-food is ready-come chop almajirai politicians in Orlu, Imo State will give peace a chance to let the Owerrians or Okigweans roar Imo State political boat (ISPB), come 2023. If 24 years of their hijacking the state power is not enough; and if enough is not enough for them or they outrightly do not know or can recognise when enough is enough, all Ndichies and Onwatas, not only in Imo State, but in the whole of Southeast should join with me in whispering into their deaf ears: E do(!) 24 times. Are these Orlu political efulefus just FULANISED NDIGBO or they (just) have the Fulani DNA in them? Methinks these isi-ewu sellers are both!  And in my home state of Cross River State, all Cross Riverians must be made aware that under the state’s turn by turn arrangement, Cross River South must in 2023 have a rendezvous with history at the Government House!
77. Pervasive culture of money for hand, back for ground.
78. Public execution/hanging.
79. Political officials, politicians, retired military and police officers/elite/blue chip companies/top level civil servants/chieftains of industries/traditional rulers/religious leaders/the so-called celebrities poaching police personnel who ought to be on the frontline to guard them, their families and businesses.
80. Policing personnel and other security agents not paid their salaries on time and as when due. In time past, their bosses from top-down were wont to be depositing their salaries in banks and then given upfront interests which these senior police officers would pay, in piecemeal. Beginning from their loyalists, and what happens to the so-called rebels who most are the vocal elements in the service – why guess is as good as this author’s.
81. Widespread bully in schools and colleges, with many students being forced and threaten to join cults, or be beaten up and killed or have their pocket monies, clothing and provisions confiscated from them. If the Nigerian society is serous about cultism, all Nigeria have to stand by and look at themselves in the mirror, for whilst these kid and school/colleges heads are often blamed for the all these pervasive students/teenagers and young adults secret societies, they must be made aware that as far as this ugliness and menace are concerned, four fingers are pointing back to the larger/wider society – and the role of Wole Soyinka in inaugurating the now endemic young people’s secret societies must be continue to be kept close to the chest in the analysis of pirate confraternities, cultism amongst young Nigerian in schools, colleges and the universities, including other institutions of learning and all learning centres in the country and beyond.
82. The undeniable vulnerability of the riverine and coastal dwellers/inhabitants due to the lack of absence of security outposts/presence.
83. Corporal punishment.
84. Not keeping an eye on Okada riders and tricycle operators – their general complicity in crimes.
85. Baba borrow chop/Baba borrow share syndrome…Baba London go London or for that other corners…E go London. E wo-o-o, e done take off to London again, and Aisha Dubai too done take the next available Presidential jet fly go Dubai! Walahi, this na gross indisprin (indiscipline)!
86. Unregulated/uncontrolled sales of corrosive chemical substances such as acids.
87. Unregulated and uncontrolled sales of petroleum products to all sorts of members of the public other than motorists.
88. Quack chemists/doctors operating illegal local or community chemists/pharmacy/clinics – even registered chemists do sell adulterated/expired drugs to members of the public.
89. Indiscriminate/illegal sales of prescription drugs to (unsuspecting) members of the public.
90. Broken and fractured families leading to sour relationship amongst spouses, consequent upon utter neglect of children.

95. Absence of genuine mentors in the upbringing of modern Nigerian children, youngsters, young adults, and youths.
96. Accommodation and actual acceptance of aberrant tendencies/behaviours.
97. Bringing up children without setting (moral) boundaries.
98. Violent films.
99. Bestial corporal punishment.
100. Improper dressing like the Nollywood and BBnaija
101. Domestic violence.
102. The idea that IF I KILL YOU, NOBODY GO ASK or NOTHING GO HAPPEN.
103. Zero integrity level of the policing and military personnel – a sort of KOBO-KOBO POLICE, KOBO-KOBO SOJA, etc.
104. Negative impact of the media, both conventional and soja media (social) on national psyche.
105. Pervasive warped national psyche.
106. Coups and countercoups
107. Men and women burning with passion in both private and public spaces, leading to sexual harassment and sometimes consequent upon rape, including gang rape!
108. The OVER HISBAHNIZATION OF THE ISLAMIC NORTH!
109. Sex slave (trafficking).
110. Harassment and power show by uniformholics.
111. Greed and selfishness of OGA AT THE TOP!
112. The very worrisome level of baby mamas/baby papas and absentee fathers.
113. Absence of role models.
114. Culture of zero parenting.
115. The disappeared traditional method of mentoring and apprenticeship.
116. Absence of mentoring schemes at all levels of education in Nigeria.
117. Awoof Syndrome (AS).
118. Culture of Settlement – MONEY FOR HAND, BACK FOR GROUND.
119. NATIONAL CAKE SYNDROME (NCS).
120. Activities of rough sleepers and others under bridges across the nation.
121. Unregulated pubs/bars opening and closing hours. It is here being proposed that henceforth all pubs must be registered and agreed to the opening and closing hours. General opening hours to the public (Sunday-Saturday) subject to Government’s discretion. But closing hours to be considered: Monday – Thursday, 22:00, whilst at weekends: Fridays and Saturdays – 23:30, hoping that all guests would have as prescribed by the new law left the pub premises by 12 midnight, whilst on Sundays, every pub must shut at 22:00. Failure to comply with both opening and closing hours must attract heavy monetary fines including delicencing.
122. Election fraudsters – alongside others, the so-called Presidential candidates setting up bogus political parties to hoodwink Nigerians into contributing towards their nationwide campaigns even when they know too well, they will not win, and after the elections they pocket the public money they had collected from unsuspecting Nigerians without any Nigerian or security agencies calling them to account.
123. The ‘Compassionate’/ ‘Merciful Angels’ setting up online account to collect money on behalf of the poor and terminally ill Nigerians.
124. Fake news

140. Absence of military and police barracks/stations in strategic places.
141. Border porosity, all the Northern borders in the name of the “brethren” offer free entry and free exit to all sorts of criminals!
142. Paedophilic activities common amongst certain ethnic groups and faith, involving even emirs who have private ‘army’, going about snatching pretty kids of other faith and forcefully taking them to their places/palaces/Guest Houses and be imprisoned perpetually as sexual objects.

153. PARABLE OF THE METAPHOR OF THE HEAD
154. The convoy mentality – but does any Nigerian know what these convoys do carry – drugs, guns, Boko, bandits, body parts to be exported, dead bodies of persons they have just killed to give these bodies to herbalists for ritual purposes or to butcher them like cows and export the parts to the nations.
155. In every nation on the planet earth, there is always enough to go round so nobody goes to sleep hungry! But when enough that is enough for all is not made to go round by the elite/ruling minority, you will them have a situation of millions going to sleep hungry.
156. Bride price is potentially a source of domestic violence as some men do get away with the attitude that their wives are their properties and slaves so they can do whatever they like with them, turning them into punch bags and slaves 24/7! They are led erroneously to think that the bride price received from them by the parents/relations of their wives are, indeed, the price they have paid to purchase their daughters – their wives. It’s high time the bride price in marriage was outlawed as outdated by LG edits, Acts of both the state and Apex Legislative Assembly (ALA).
157. Absence of modern mentoring methods/trained professional mentors.
158. Unnatural biological tendencies/behaviours and expressions.
159. Poverty, poverty, poverty.
160. The culture of the so-called celebrities in Nigeria and their over-celebration by both the conventional and social media, thus misleading the nation’s youth through their fake and outrageous/obscene/extravagant lifestyles.
161. GIBB/Instant/Microwave generation – the so-called Millennial.
162. Buharidemic and the fierce urgency of now.
163. Crazy burial cereMONEY!
164. Naira/Pound/Dollar rains at events/occasions.
166. Lies, lies, lies.
167. GREY ZONE.
168. BLACKOUT
169. The love of money (1 Timothy 6:10).
170. Porous border, porous border, porous border.
171. Trans-border smuggling activities.
172. Nigeria is surrounded by hostile neighbours who always pretend to be friends. That hostility leading to unparalleled aggressions is usually intensified whenever there is a Christian President in Nigeria.
173. Dis-information + Unsubstantiated allegations.
174. Culture of long leg/parapo/nmma madu.
175. Connection Syndrome.
176. Conspiracy theories
177. Na who know man/man know man culture/mentality.
178. The 30-month civil war – it effects on national psyche and general national behavioural tendency/inclination.
179. The very gross irresponsibility of having many wives, concubines, children, and indulgence in indiscriminate child-rearing, most times when not at the expense of public funds, left to fate, where they end up on the streets as Almajirai, and afterwards, as bandits, terrorists, jihadists, subversive elements, extremists, killer herders, Islamists, rapists, etc.
180. FULANIDEMICISM
181. Creating emergency millionaires as through such HOUSES OF MAGGOTS/VULTURES as BBNaija, Nollywoods, etc.
182. Muslims in Nigeria not reading the Koran, but depends on the interpretation of the so-called Muslims scholars and clerics who interpret the Koran based on their prejudices.
183. Long years of military and its effects on national psyche – this explains why every Nigerian barks at the other person, use of force in everyday communication, indulgence in power show by every Nigerian – threatening the other person as manifest in daily concourses in Nigeria such as: DO YOU KNOW ME? DO YOU KNOW WHO I’M? DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE TALIKING TO? I WILL DEAL WITH YOU! I WILL KILL YOU AND NOBODY GO ASK! BLOODY CIVILIANS! In fact, conscious national efforts ougt to have been made to demilitarize every Nigerian as the military returned to the barracks, albeit, temporarily on May 29, 1999.
184. Ministers of Police Affairs, Interior, Defence and Foreign Affairs not living up to expectation in the face of the current grave threats national security, yet they are scrutinized and investigated by the press in Nigeria.
185. More than half of the policing personnel off front line policing to guard the so-called VIPs and their families, thus embarrassingly turning police officers into protocol officers, cooks, gardeners, chauffeurs, errand boys and girls who clean up their kids whenever they pooh and pee! Again, the private licensed security guards should be hired by ego centrists who usually are the first to complain about insecurity in the land.
186. Pervasive spiritual tyranny of pastors, priests, clerics, imams, sheiks, Alfas, etc.
187. Influx of aliens into the country
188. Influx of international jihadists/terrorists/extremists/Islamists, etc. As a matter of fact, ECOWAS region is not only now a haven/sanctuary for both local and international terrorists, but a breeding ground for terrorists of all hues around the world.
189. Influx of alien voters during elections, including those foreigners who come in to be head-counted during every census exercised and are housed by their relatives in Nigeria, whilst those with no relatives come in in the name of Muslim Ummah and put up in hotels/motels, brothels, B&B, etc.
190. Pervasive culture of awoof.
191. Pervasive looting culture and raiding.
192. Taking by force what does not belong to you which was the general practice during the 30-month civil war and was continued after the war had ended on January 15, 1970, eventuating in the current looting culture – during the wars, were the armies on both sides not looting and taking what did not belong to them? In earlier espousals on the Nigerian history and tragedy, I had therein traced the current looting culture in the Nigerian polity/system to – Arabism, slavery, jihadism as pioneered by Uthman Dan Fodio which has never abated since 1804 till the very present; colonialism, imperialism, militarism, Boko Haramism, pastoral jihadism, Shiitism, Obasanjoism, Fulanism, the ongoing bestial and monstrous Buharism, etc.
193. The Gowonian Udoji Awards (Adoja – Yala for the 1972 Jerome Udoji Awards).
194. Invasion and imposition of foreign cultures/values
195. Settlement culture as pioneered by Ibrahim Gbadamosi Babangida.
196. Omonile Syndrome
197. Uncontrolled population explosion coupled with indiscriminate procreation without family planning and the idiotic population policy of the Ibrahim Gbadamosi Babangida administration of one man four wives; and one woman, two children! But can Nigeria, indeed, manage its population explosion in the coming days, months, and years?
198. Prophetic garbage from fake prophet-liars.
199. Extended family system
200. THE CUBANA THEOLOGY.
201. HUSHPUPPIAN HASTINESS/VALUES.
202. Men/women and banks who/which launder money for Nigerian/African politicians, political officials, monarchs, the business community, and the professions.
203. Laundering money through school fees in Overseas institutions.
204. DANGOTENOPOLY
205. Undue/unwarranted/unnecessary financial pressures/demands of members of an extended family on a ‘successful’ member of such a family.
206. Unparalleled mass illiteracy level in Nigeria
207. Bestial mass poverty in Nigeria
208. Wrong approach to development right from independence making development to be concentrated only in capital cities. Since I moved out of London due to crowd, I don’t miss anything whatsoever that London has to offer as I don’t even miss it for anything.
209. Concentration of infrastructure, Federal Ministries, MDAs in Abuja. This carries great security risk as just a modern bomb from an enemy country can destroy everything in Abuja in a second. And this is the sort of arrangement we have in all the 36 states capitals, thereby making them very congested causing a 24/7 traffic. The so-called Apapa gridlock that has bedevilled Lagos state and the Federal Government for ages is a non-issue, made a complex issue, a non-problem, made problematic, a small matter, made very, very, very big! It is all about the inherited colonial education system which keeps churning out robots without creativity, innovation, imagination, and inventiveness.
210. Wrong land use strategy – the so-called land tenure system is archaic and outdated – all it has done over the years is to create OMONILE SYNDROME/QUITLUMS, wherefrom the ongoing pandemic of quit notices – now a national tragedy emanated. The abysmal nature of land utilization and management coupled with wrong development strategies adopted over the years was compounded by the Olusegun Obasanjo’s Land Use Decree 1978.
211. Wrong water use strategy in the country – and this is a major factor just as climate change is, when rather than emotion, we adopt a scientific strategy in the analysis of the now fatal clashes between the farmers and the Fulani herders. Despite my scientific analysis of the tragedy in 2013, hoping to refocus the debate/argument from high voltage emotionalism to the scientific, the latter predominates in what I would rather call the unhealthy noises of the ALARIWOS, creating bad blood and innumerable fault lines in the gigantic edifice which was once the envy of the world. Thus far, no rational/strategic/intellectual/reasonable debate has taken place and it has all been sound and fury, a tale of idiots signifying nothing.
212. 1^ST INTERLUDE

A line from William Shakespeare's Macbeth, from Act 5, Scene 5:

Macbeth's plans are falling apart around him.

MACBETH
Wherefore was that cry?

SEYTON

The queen, my lord, is dead.

MACBETH
She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Much embarrassing as the whole saga of the current Nigerian tragedy is, what it does bring to mind is the innocent and harmless altercation between new intakes in a typical secondary in Lagos in the 70s, where kids who were naturally Yoruba would say to their Eastern Nigerian classmates in the event of one of those little annoyances: “Go away jo!

                   Okoromadu epe…Omo yibo…go back to your ‘country’ jo.

                  Ogbo ede, o gbo eke…Omo aje  okuta ma mu omi.

                  Nki ti pon, pon…edika ikong..ete Calabar…ogbo ede, o gbo eke!”

Supposing the above was a pretty Yoruba girl, the young Nigerian of Eastern extraction would reply: “Olorun Oba gbo…I will marry you and take you to the East.”

And the pretty Yoruba girl firing back, would clap her hands jokingly calling the attention of her friends: “…e wa wo Okoro yi…ewa wo omo Calabar yi, oni oma fe mi mu mi lo si ilu won…oshi oda. Hun-hun, do you think I’m that cheap?”

The matter stopped there, even if it was in a situation of ‘disagreement’.

How I wish all that is befalling the nation today is a sort of jaw-jaw as I have reminisced in the above boyish and girlish ‘joking-dispute’!

But from this side of the Atlantic, I can see that my people are not only speaking in tongues with no one listening nor understanding the other person, but with AK-47 and bombs, and may it not degenerate to a situation of using MOABs, as already the food blockade of 50 years ago was re-enacted recently!

468. Churches and mosques draining the purse of their congregations/worshippers in the name of tithes/offerings/gifts to pastors and imams.
469. Prosperity gospel
470. Boundary and community land disputes. Having recommended this before time and again, that all states, Local Government Authorities, and the Federal Government to compile a list of all lands and boundary areas in disputes and after the exercise, the Federal Government should by Executive Order or appropriate legal instruments declare such areas/lands in dispute as FEDERAL ZONES to avoid further clashes leading to the shedding of unnecessary blood.
471. Young billionaires/millionaires from the families of serving or retired public officers (serving President and VP, former Heads of State, serving and former Governors, ministers, civil service top notches, other political officials, etc, companies’ execs, traditional rulers – emirs, Obas, Obis, pastors, imams, etc.
472. Muslim clerics in collusion with fanatical millionaire/billionaire Muslims both local and international, particularly from the Middle East and other Muslim majority nations to fund terrorists - Boko Haram, ISWAP, Al-Shabaab, Ansaru, Janjaweed, bandits, rapists, herdsmen jihadists, abductors, kidnappers, etc, etc.
473. Expansionist agenda of the Muhammadu Buhari-APC Government in collusion with all the caliphate delusionists in and around Nigeria, courtesy of the FAMILY COMPACT!

473.Terrorism and other associated crimes – banditry, mass abductions, kidnappings, weapons seizure,

474.Paying ransom to criminals after kidnappings and abductions, etc.

475. General low self-esteem amongst young people, leading them to do and take drugs.
476. Fake wealth/prosperity/success/breakthrough
477. Wealth at all costs.
478. Living a kind of lifestyle just to impress
479. Living a life of ‘form’ – or putting up false appearances
480. Living above your means
481. OTEDOLAN EXHIBITIONISM
482. People arriving at their point of destination before God.
483. Travelling on the long journey of life without God, parental guidance, mentors, etc.

488. ACQUISTIVENNESS/ACQUISTIVE TENDENCY: Societal definition of success by material acquisition/s.
489. General lack of contentment and moderation amongst the Nigerian people.
490. State terrorism.
491. Political and cultural terrorism.

494. Cows now enjoying a higher ranking in the NATIONAL HIERARCHY OF BEING!
495. The tyranny/dictatorship of the Northern elders/ACF
496. Over emphasization of fetishism by the local film makers/artists/actresses, fuelling ritual killings and the sales of human parts – another fast booming ‘industry’ in Nigeria.
497. Prevalence of internet/cyber rat in nation’s cyber territorial space – the invasion and occupations of such rats.
498. Zero home training.
499. Bringing up children without the much-needed foundational message/s of life.
500. The Malthusian Curse/Catastrophe
501. Uncontrolled population growth.
502. Unhealthy competition.

A DISSECTION OF GLOBAL YOUTH VIOLENCE & ZERO YOUTH MORALITY

THE BLURB

Why does one youngster stab another with a knife which they will never, ever dare to stab themselves with? Why are our young people killing themselves without thinking of the pains and sorrow such barbarism and bestiality will leave their loved ones with for the rest of their lives? Why do some young persons - members of the same community prey on one another with such jungle-like ferocity in the nation’s cities? Why, why are there now so many of such gruesome, purposeless, wicked and unwarranted killings in the nation’s cities as if Britain is now a land that devours its children? More worrisome is the fact that when they are hacked to death so young, what happens to their dreams, visions, goals and aspirations?

Heart-rending as these painful questions are, Be A Beacon of Hope in the World: A Message to Young Britain does not attempt to offer answers to these puzzles arising from the untimely deaths of Britain’s children through knifings. However, it seeks to act as a guidepost, compass and a Sat Nav to point young persons in the direction of the good way and on the path of civility, decency, common sense, humaneness and universal altruism, whereupon they are expected to have respect, first for themselves, for others and for all of life’s forms. Therefore, let the alarm bell which this book has triggered off to warn all young persons in Britain and the world over that to live in the fast lane is to die young, reverberate through the vista of time.
