Tell-tale signs are looming.

by Eze Eluchie


Soon after Goodluck Jonathan was declared winner in the 2011 general elections, certain extremist elements vowed to make Nigeria ungovernable. These elements proceeded to unleashed death, destruction and mayhem bothering on an outright declaration of war on the Federation (under the guise of pursuing fundamentalist Islamic agenda).

Bolstered by Jonathan’s unwillingness or inability to exercise the powers vested in his office to quell such rascality, these extremist elements, now think they have a right to threaten mass murders on a grand scale.

Not done with killing employees of the United Nations (during the bombing of the United Nations Headquarter complex in Abuja); or with blowing up several Churches across the northern States of the Nigerian contraption and killing hundreds of Christians therein; or with sporadic killings of thousands of Nigerians, especially in cities across the core northern States, in desperate efforts to ‘make Nigeria ungovernable’ as a result of Jonathan's ascendance to power; these characters now threaten bloodshed which, as their spokespersons says, “will affect every household” in a country of over 150 million.

The continued inaction and insensitivity of our domestic ‘insecurity’ outfits to curtail and rein in what can clearly be identified as initial preparatory steps towards mayhem of apocalyptic dimensions is most worrisome and besmirches of complicity.

Is the world waiting for when calls will be made for airplane-loads of body-bags to realize the intensity of the storms gathering in the horizon?

At going rates, there will very soon be no further need to call for restructuring and renegotiations.

In the interim, it is never too late to restructure and renegotiate!

The land where self-confessed felons rule.

by Eze Eluchie

This character, Godswill Akpabio, is obviously exhibiting the terminal stages of a most debilitating disease: ‘Power-Intoxication’

Unfortunately, our contraption is governed under a fraudulent Constitution that allows even the mentally deranged to continue to rule over us, by proxy or skype, even after it is apparent that their capacity to govern has irrevocably diminished.

Apart from people like Akpabio, who at least are still insulting us with their presence, we still have a sitting governor of one of our constituting States, who is being flown from one emergency Neurosurgery ward in one continent to another, in the hope that they can yet patch him up - and not only refuses to give up his access to loot but the State Legislature and political rulership refuses to act.

An alibi for targeted mass-murders?

by Eze Eluchie

The disingenuous announcement by Mr. Musa Kwakwanso, who rules over Kano State as governor, of a list of 25 names as the totality of victims who perished in the Boko Haram blast at the Kano Luxury Bus Park in Sabon Gari, is patently fraudulent and clearly a ruse to obviate reality. Anyone familiar with the territory, inclusive of the fact of the composition of the population in Sabon Gari, the ownership of the destroyed Luxury Buses, and the proposed destination the bombed buses, will clearly appreciate the dubiousness inherent in Kwakwanso’s figures.

Here we have a governor  (and government) who has never come up with the list of victims of any of the several Boko Haram bombings in his domain, now knowing each and every one of the ‘25’ victims and the place of residence of some of the victims.  Come on Musa Kwakwanso, you can be smarter than that!

Lying to obviate reality does not address pertinent issues – rather it only gives room for more vile crimes to be committed, and yet another spate of lies to be manufactured to cover the filth. This madness continues until the truth blows up, often times, in a most destructive manner.

Every passing day, the need for a holistic restructuring and renegotiation of our contraption becomes more pertinent.
