Memo to All Progressive Congress.

Please, permit me to send you a memorandum, particularly now that you have inaugurated your constitution and manifesto committees. The author, prays that his memo, be given due considerations. The list below is not exhaustive. Federal Character Principle/Zoning/Quota System: Please for the sake of Nigeria, make sure this retrogressive clause is never included in whatever constitution/manifesto that you’re preparing for APC. The inclusion of this principle in the constitution of Nigeria is one of the strong reasons, why the nation has never moved forward. This system never promotes merit but rather elevates mediocre(s). That is to say that, our best never occupies their rightful positions. We are witnessing a situation, were the least qualified people are leading the best/rest of us, courtesy of quota/zoning. Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) adopted the zoning principle, and we are living witnesses to what the party has done to Nigerian entity. For people, like us, this system defiles all logic. No sane person should expect anything positive from the above principle. “Quota system means injustice as far as am concerned. Apologies to its beneficiaries. The mere existence of this charter in our law books means that the country has been established on the paths of injustice”,,,“America was established on freedom, equality, human rights and democracy. They live by it and they also export it to the whole world”. (http://www.briefsfromakuta.blogspot.co.uk/2009/05/abolish-quota-system-or-quota-system.html) As a result of American system, the emergence of President Obama became a possibility. In the United Kingdom, there is also an equal opportunities act. These are indeed true progressive societies. Not only should this clause not be included on APC constitution and manifesto, but APC should champion the removal of this from our law books (The Nigerian Constitution). Removing Immunity Clauses. Section 308 of the 1999 constitution shields the President, his Vice, the Governor and their Deputies from criminal and civil prosecution during their term in office. This is another retrogressive clause in our constitution that needs removing. It’s simply a recipe for abuse of office and also the abuse of Nigerians. The author strongly suggests that, APC should seriously consider fighting for the removal of this clause from the nation’s constitution. Therefore, removing immunity clauses should form part of your party’s (APC) manifesto. Imagine a situation where the President, Vice President, Governor, and Deputy Governor can be prosecuted while in office. Then they will sit up and take Nigerians very serious. True Federalism. There is so much concentration of powers at the centre. The Presidency is so powerful, that it has actually become a threat to the survival of our democracy. There is urgent need to devolve powers among the federating units of the country. The various states and local government areas have to be truly independent to an extent. The author prefers confederalism. The units that make up Nigeria need a reasonable level of autonomy. More so, there is need for competition amongst the various units that make up Nigeria. Competition brings out the best in us. Therefore there is need for all the 6 zones (SE, SW,SS, NE,NW,NC) to compete among each other. Various zones/parts of the country should be allowed to develop at their own pace. The nation needs restructuring; therefore, the author suggests that APC should take this into consideration while preparing their constitution and manifesto. Total War Against Corruption. It is the author’s view that corruption is the biggest obstacle to the development and progress of Nigeria. Except a total war is waged against corruption, nothing meaningful can be achieved. According to the former Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Chairman, Nuhu Ribadu, “when you fight corruption, corruption fights back”. “We are internationally recognized for corruption, inefficiency, business uncertainty and infrastructural decay”. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, Ex Head of State. “The World Bank estimates the country’s generals and gangster politicians stole $300 billion in the three decades to 2006” (Time Magazine, May 3rd 2010 Edition, Page 42). From 2006, when the World Bank captured the figure above till now, a lot more has been stolen. It therefore requires wo/men made of steel or a determined political party to wage an effective war on corruption. Thus APC, has to take cognisance of this monster, and accord it an important place in their constitution/manifesto. That is also if, APC wants to clean the mess in Nigeria. Internal Democracy. All Progressive Congress must lead by example. Internal party democracy and discipline is non negotiable. Charity begins at home. APC must not only have internal democracy, but it must be seen to exist within it. Any party without these two points (internal democracy and discipline) is not worthy to be voted into power by Nigerians. It is the author’s prayer, that this be included in your constitution. It would also be appropriate, for APC to consider waging a war against indiscipline in the country, thus it should be included in your manifesto. The author is neither under any illusion nor delusion that the above points might or might not be accepted by the All Progressive Congress. But if you do, that would be truly in the nation’s interest. May God bless Nigeria. C.V.Akuta UK. 26th February, 2013.

APGA, APC and Matters Arising.

Given the choice between endorsing GEJ/PDP again and merging with the All Progressive Congress, the author suggests that All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) should merge with the APC. The reason is very simple; you cannot do the same thing, over and over again, and expect different results. Since 1999, Peoples Democratic Party has been in power at the centre and more of South Eastern States, but there is nothing to show for it, examples are as follows, (a) Obasanjo promised the Igbos, second Niger Bridge but failed to deliver. Rather he helped to cause havoc in Anambra State using Chris Uba. Remember the attempted kidnap of a sitting Governor (Chris Ngige of Anambra State) happened during Obasanjo regime. Till date, no one was prosecuted. (b) No federal presence in Igbo land, (c) No good roads (d) High level insecurity (e) President Goodluck Jonathan also promised building second Niger Bridge, but has failed to initiate the project. The list is endless. After all these failed promises, then tell me if APGA should still trust PDP to deliver? Remember, APGA endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan during the 2011 Presidential election and nothing has been done in the South East, except the individual efforts of the Igbos. Personally, I will never trust someone who has failed me several times. First fool no be fool, but second fool, na proper foolish. APGA leadership claimed that they were never consulted nor invited to the negotiating table, before the merger took place. However, there has been a counter claim that APGA leadership was involved with the negotiations (after all, Imo State Governor and others were there). Whatever is the true situation, the author thinks/suggests that APGA/Igbo interest will be better served under the new party. This should also serve as an opportunity for the leaders of the new party (All Progressive Congress) to restart negotiation with APGA leadership/other Igbo leaders. Politics is more about negotiations, alliances, consultations, etc. In doing this, the new party (All Progressive Congress) should find a way of reaching out to the Igbo masses and indeed Nigerians masses to connect with them, this is very important. This is because; most times “our” so called “leaders” are only concerned about themselves/families. My prayer and that of other Nigerians is for All Progressive Congress to provide a credible alternative to PDP and fashion a way to move the nation forward. Strong opposition parties/groups are very essential for the survival of every democracy. Nigeria cannot be an exception. Great Zik of Africa once said, show the light and the people will find the way. Hoping that, APC will provide the light/directions for Nigerians to find their way.

Nigerian Judiciary is A Big Joke.

Please, take a look at these laughable convictions from the Nigerian Judiciary. A former director of the Police Pension Board, John Yakubu Yusuf, was sentenced to two years in prison by an Abuja High Court for the embezzlement of N23.3bn pension fund or option of fine of N750,000. Olabode George committed a fraud of over N85 billion naira and was only given 2:5 years imprisonment. (We all know what happened when he was released. In case you didn’t know what happened, his release was televised live on a national Television network thru to where he had a party. At his party, Ex President Obasanjo attended. After two days he (Olabode George) appeared on the same VIP stand with our current President (GEJ), during his campaign tour of Lagos State). Mrs. Cecilia Ibru (former MD/CEO of Ocenic Bank was jailed 6 months for stealing N54 billion naira. Former Inspector General of Police, Tafa Balogun was convicted of N20 billion naira fraud, and was sentenced to only 6 months in prison. Both Tafa Balogun and Cecilia Ibru had their sentences spent in their homes or chosen hospitals. Another Ex Inspector General of Police, Sunday Ehindero was caught trying to smuggle out N200 million naira, out of Abuja. Sunday Ehindero was not even sent to court, so the case died like that. So many Ex Governors between (1999-2011), have been granted bails on their alleged corrupt cases, some have court injunction (Peter Odili) stopping their trial on corruption cases. James Ibori (Former Governor of Delta State) was discharged and acquitted in Nigeria, but was sent to jail in UK, for the same offences, he was acquitted from in Nigeria. The list is endless. What is worrisome is that poor Nigerians are left to rot in Nigerian prisons, for little or no offences, compared to what the "big and mighty" Nigerians are doing. Corruption is all over the world, the difference is how various countries approach it. In China, the penalty is capital punishment. Another example is America, where for instance, Bernard Madoff, who committed a fraud of $65 Billion Dollars (£38bn Pounds Sterling) was sentenced to 150 years in jail. Nigerian judiciary, is no longer the last hope of a common man, but rather, the destroyer of the Nigerian hope. “The greatest incitement to crime is the hope of escaping punishment” Marcus Cicero. The Nigerian Judiciary is aiding and abetting crimes, by handing little or no sentences/jail terms. Make no mistake, the destruction of Nigeria (by whatever means) will affect all and sundry. Take a look at the insecurity situation (which is a failure of the government and partly the people), no one is safe/saved any more. Emirs, chiefs, ministers, commissioners, judges, lawyers, ex this, ex that, etc can be attacked or kidnapped. High crime rates are partly the fault of our judiciary also. Therefore, this should serve a wakeup call, because a lot of damages have already been done. C.V.Akuta UK www.briefsfromakuta.blogspot.com

New Year Message; Solutions and Synergy.

Happy New Year (2013) to you all. As usual, may the New Year (2013), bring us progress and prosperity. But the author has always wondered, how this old time saying(s) alone, can bring us prosperity without action. It looks more like a yearly rhetorical ritual. My New Year message will in addition to the above, also include thus; please, start now to apply solutions to the challenges facing our society. The author believes, we know our problems from the individual, village/community, local government, state to the national level. Therefore, next rightful steps, would be to start applying/contributing our quota towards the solutions. Please, do not expect any prosperity and progress in 2013, if no positive actions are taken. Next is synergy. Kindly, consider to synergize wherever possible. Two heads are better than one and three heads better than two. There are more to be accomplished as a team. As we do the above and more, progress and prosperity will be assured in 2013. I thank you all. Happy New Year. C.V.Akuta UK. 1st January, 2013.

Kaduna State Govt., Azazi et al, Vs Nigerian Navy.

First, my condolence goes to the families of; Lt Adeyemi Sowole, Commander Murtala Mohammed Daba, Dauda Tsoho, Warrant Officer Mohammed Kamal, Gen. Andrew Owoye Azazi and Mr. Patrick Yakowa (Ex Governor of Kaduna State) that died in the helicopter crash of 15th December 2012. May their souls, and other faithfully departed, rest in peace. This crash is one, too many. It has left more questions than answers and more conspiracy theories/theorists. The author is more particular about litigations that will follow this crash. Except Kaduna State Government, and families of those that perished in the helicopter crash do not wish to seek redress at the law court. The norm is usually a court case, compensation or settlement after every air crash. How will this case play out in court? How much compensation will the Nigerian Navy pay Kaduna State government etc, and that is, if ever they will pay? From whose purse will the money come from? Upon hearing the shocking news of the helicopter crash, I asked myself (the same questions, Nigerians are asking themselves) what was a Nigerian Navy helicopter doing in a private event? Who authorized its uses on that day? What are the job roles/specifications of the air wing of the Nigerian Navy? This brings me to the question of litigations that might likely follow this crash (as a matter of fact, a court case(s), concerning this helicopter crash will be in the national interest). What will be the defence argument for the Nigerian Navy? The author thinks that the Nigerian Navy owe Nigerians a lot of explanations. Whatever explanations provided by the navy, would determine further questions that would be asked by Nigerians. But the author is also worried, that Nigerians forgets easily, and never learn from their pasts. This issue can easily be swept under the carpet. I pray to be proven wrong. As expected, the government has set up a probe panel, the National Assembly and Naval authorities have also set up their investigative panels. But in Nigeria, we never get to know the causes of air crashes. Despite past, numerous “federal government” constituted air crash(es) investigating panels, their results have never been made public or at best doctored. Are there any assurances that, the causes of this helicopter crash will be made public? My answer is NO. Perhaps a court case(s) by victims’ families might compel authorities to disclose publicly, whatever caused the crash. Till then, let’s wait and see. It’s a waiting game. C.V.Akuta UK.

Palm Oil is Better Than Crude Oil.

One of the best speeches I heard this year, was on Saturday, November 3rd 2012, in London, at an audience with the Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, when he said that, palm oil was better than crude oil, and urged us to plant a palm tree each. Without a single doubt, the writer agrees 100% with Owelle Rochas Okorocha. Before, the advent of crude oil, the former Eastern region survived mainly thru proceeds from palm oil plantation. Then Eastern Region recorded a lot of progress and developments. The writer has also visited the Adapalm Plantation at Ohaji Egbema, Local Government Area. This plantation was inherited by Imo State from the old Eastern Region, being that Ohaji/Egbema is in Imo State. This is one of the, if not the greatest investment of the present Imo State government. Yes, palm oil can yield sufficient revenue for both the state government and the indigenes. More so, since there are species of palm trees that could mature and start yielding in 3 years. I remembered my late grand uncle, who used to deal with palm oil/nuts etc. He was self sufficient and employed some women in the village. One good thing, about palm tree plantations and palm productions are that, there are so many by products associated with it. I understood thru the Governor, that the palm seed cost about N200 (two hundred naira). The message by the governor, to plant a palm tree, is in agreement, with my earlier campaign for tree planting, way back, before Owelle became the governor of Imo State. Hearing the governor, preach plant a palm tree, re-echoed a deep passion in me. Most importantly, let’s remember that global warming is real. Take a look at the floods that happened in Nigeria this year (2012). Look at the hurricane sandy that almost destroyed America. Then we should take this message of tree planting very seriously. Tree planting is a way to fight global warming. To make it better, let’s plant economic trees (palm trees etc) that will yield revenue for us in the near future. May God bless Nigeria. C.V.Akuta UK.
