Corruption is a Crime Against Humanity

by Eze Eluchie

It took the testimony of two Bosnian Muslim women (Jadranka Cigelj and Nusreta Sivac – who themselves had been victims of mass rape attacks) for rape to be recognized formally as a weapon of war and a ‘crime against humanity’ and prosecuted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)

Large-scale corruption leads to death of millions, exposes innumerable people to rape, extermination, disease and death. What really is the world waiting to recognize large-scale corruption as a ‘crime against humanity’ before the International Criminal Court (ICC)?

In Nigeria and most other African countries, deranged kleptocrats who seize instruments of State authority by all manner of criminal conspiracies continue to plunder their countries wealth, pauperizing millions, raping hundreds of thousands more, turning the dreams of millions into nightmares, and yet the world sits idly bye?

Corruption is indeed a crime against humanity.

Confession of the Goons

by Eze Eluchie

Yet another goon confesses.

It is really pathetic how these characters have for too damned long messed up, and continue to defile, a contraption that could so easily have been a global success story.

Adamu Ciroma's life trajectory, which by the way is so common amongst those who have held sway over our contraption, is a shameful litany of opportunism, nepotism, and celebration of incompetence and ineptitude. A clear recipe for disaster - that probably explains why Nigeria is the disaster it is.

Reading through his interview with The Sun Newspaper, one would be tempted to refer to him as having gone senile - that's really far from the truth, Ciroma is at his cerebral best in this interview.

Most Wicked Legacy

by Eze Eluchie

My long held assertion that Olusegun Obasanjo had handpicked the duo of persons he had considered a corpse (Umaru Yar'Adua) and  person of suspect political acumen (Goodluck Jonathan) as President and Vice President, respectively, of the Nigerian contraption, to succeed him (Obasanjo's reign of evil), with the sole purpose of making Nigerians relish his hideous tenure with nostalgia, continues to be corroborated by henchmen of the Obasanjo-era. First it was Peter Odili and now Nasir el-Rufai.

Whatever ill-motive Nasir el-Rufai would have had to spill the bean, is certainly now immaterial. Nigerians must however not forget what role this imp, who has been rightly described by the Nigerian Senate as unworthy of holding any public office ever again, played in the criminal 'privatization' of so many national assets whilst he was Director of the Privatization Council and the thousands of Nigerians he likewise criminally rendered homeless as FCT Minister

One character who is yet to make his confession known to Nigerians, and hopefully he will soon be shamed into speaking out as a result of his direct complicity in the rot and exposure as a spurious character, is the erstwhile l'enfant terrible Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission - Nuhu Ribadu.
