Nigerian Government in breach of UN Security Council Resolution 1373 (2001)

by Eze Eluchie

By admitting that Boko Haram terrorist elements populate his administration and neglecting to do anything to expose such characters, prosecute them or prevent further commission of terrorist activities by the said terror organization and their offshoot, the Goodluck Jonathan administration is actively in breach of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1373 (2001).

Article 2 a-g of the Resolution 1373 provides as follows:

States shall:

“(a)  Refrain from providing any form of support, active or passive, to entities or persons involved in terrorist acts, including by suppressing recruitment of members of terrorist groups and eliminating the supply of weapons to terrorists;

“(b) Take the necessary steps to prevent the commission of terrorist acts, including by provision of early warning to other States by exchange of information;

“(c)  Deny safe haven to those who finance, plan, support, or commit terrorist acts, or provide safe havens;

“(d) Prevent those who finance, plan, facilitate or commit terrorist acts from using their respective territories for those purposes against other States or their citizens;

Moth to the flame

Goodluck Jonathan!

This man, like a moth to the flame, is seemingly programmed for self-destruct!

During my secondary school days, one of the Literature texts was a book titled ‘One Week, One Trouble” – for good old Jonathan, it appears it is ‘One Day, One Trouble’!

Not satisfied with the uproar generated by the State pardon accorded to a group of politically exposed ex-convicts, including Jonathan’s mentor and former Boss and mega-fraudster DSP Alamieyeseigha and the unfolding melodrama being generated by the multiplicity of entities contending to register the acronym APC (a fiasco generally believed to be instigated by the ruling PDP), Goodluck Jonathan decides to cap a most turbulent week with a ‘fund-raising’ ceremony for his home town church during which known stooges of government and perpetual drain pipes of national resources ‘contribute’ the incredulous sum of over 6 Billion Naira (almost U.S.$40 Million).

Politricks Nigeriana II

by Eze Eluchie

What will it take to get it through the thick skulls of the itinerant opportunistic contractors parading our polity as politicians that what we are practicing is not a democracy but could at best be described civil rule!

The shout of ‘threat to democracy’ apparently emanates from these characters only when they are outsmarted by their peers. The reality that the Nigerian population and contraption has been ceaselessly raped, drained of blood and literally destroyed by the totality of the actions of these ‘politicians’ whose very ascendance to political office was attained through the most undemocratic of processes, did not constitute a ‘threat to democracy’ in the eyes of these goons.

Rather than admit to being outsmarted and look for other ways to equally scam the system, (yes, that’s what all these over recycled, wasteful and intellectually challenged so-called politicians are interested in doing to Nigeria) Lai Mohammed and his cohorts in the All Progressive Congress (APC) prefer to make noise, disturbing the peace of our collective grave-yard – that is what they have succeeded in transforming our contraption into.
