High Political Patronage for Child Abductions: Re: Emir of Kano and Ese Oruru.

by Eze Eluchie

Considering that Nigerian police and other law enforcement authorities have refused and or failed to act to rescue Ese Oruru, the 13year old victim of child abduction, trafficking and likely defilement/rape from the Palace of the Emir of Kano, with Nigeria’s Police Chief, in response to a question from journalist as to when young Ese will be released by her abductors, explicitly stated: "Well, that is dependent on the intervention of the Emir. We have agreed to resolve the matter. I cannot give a timeline".   

And considering that this same Emir of Kano enjoys high political privileges with the present ruling junta in Nigeria;

It is timely for all in diaspora, particularly the countries where this Emir character is known to frequent (the United Kingdom, the United States, Switzerland and the Shengen States of Europe) to secure appropriate legal instruments, inclusive of detention warrants, to ensure the apprehension and likely prosecution of those who abduct, aide the defilement and generally deny others freedom in Nigeria whenever they set foot on climes where human dignity, rights and freedoms are valued.


As this post was about to be published on 29th February 2016, media reports in Nigeria confirmed that after over 1 year of the abduction and sexual enslavement of 13 year old Ese Ohuru, Nigeria’s former Central Bank Czar and now Islamic head of Kano State, Mr. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has ‘ordered’ the release of the young girl and pronto she is released.
One really wonders if this is how the release of some other ‘abducted’ girls, inclusive of those of Chibok will be ordered.

There Must Be Accountability for the Chibok ‘Abductions’

by Eze Eluchie,


Spirited efforts are being made to bury the issue of the Chibok ‘abductions’ which wasted so many young girls for political gains. Even the loquacious #BringBackOurGirls gang and its equally vociferous kingpins, particularly Oby Ezekwesili (who is yet to get rewarded) and Ms. Hadiza Usman (who has since gotten high government appointment for ‘job’ well done) seem to have conveniently lost their voices.

Nigerians, and indeed the rest of humanity, particularly all who were scammed by the politicization of terror, should insist on accountability for those who wasted or benefitted from the wastage of so many of our youths.

FREEMIND reiterates its position that the #BringBackOurGirls gang is equivalent, morally, socially and practically, to a #BringBackOurTwinTowers gang, if ever such perfidy had been contemplated after the dastardly terror acts of 9/11.

The very least we owe the girls wasted at Chibok, whose only crime was a thirst and quest for education in an area where the suppression of the girl child is institutionalized, is to bring those who caused and or benefited from their 'abduction' to justice. 

The specie of the human race worse than terrorists are those who use terror as a means to an end!

Biafra II: The Igbo’s are being killed again.

by Eze Eluchie,

Well over 45 years after the Biafra genocide was supposed to have ended, sequel to military agreements ending the Nigeria – Biafra Civil War in January 1970, military and security personnel under the command of Nigeria’s self acclaimed ‘devout Muslim’ ruler of Fulani origin, Muhammadu Buhari, have embarked upon a systematic brutal annihilation of demonstrators desirous of resuscitating efforts at ensuring the emergence of Biafra.

With the continued killing of peaceful protesters agitating for the restructuring and renegotiation of the Nigerian contraption, the Nigeria military and security forces murdering innocent people of Igbo ethnic nationality in Aba, (Abia State, south eastern Nigeria) and its environs, are fast losing any claims to the rank of a people’s army and merely constituting themselves into a brutal army of occupation that must be resisted.

The Right to self determination is an enshrined fundamental right which often times intensifies in the face of efforts to suppress the right by using such vile instruments as violent repression and murder.

The Nigerian Government, under the headship of Mr. Buhari is hereby enjoined to stop the murder of peaceful protesters and ensure that the basic rights of persons living in Nigeria are respected and protected.  It is hoped that descent into full scale violence is avoided.

The likelihood of the Nigerian State surviving a new vista of violence alongside the ongoing terrorist insurgency in the Northern region championed by Boko Haram, the perennial systematic ethnic cleansing being perpetuated by Fulani herdsmen in the Middle Belt region and the restiveness of youths in the oil-rich Niger Delta region is quite remote.  

Restructure and Renegotiate the Nigeria contraption whilst there is yet a time for such a venture to be undertaken in peace.
