RE:We miss road

Man must survive...

The issues of age, morals, experience and character are too advanced for the Hausa/Fulani system of government in Nigeria. I don't know what the Koran said about children upbringing, but the bible made it clear that a man is what he was groomed to be from childhood-spare the rod and spoil the child. Clearly, Koran has different perspective on children upbringing considering the number of Almajiris and the beggars of Hausa/Fulani stock, and the senseless looting of our common patrimony by the same privileged Hausa/Fulani.

A hardened steel is hard to bend. The future of our children depend on lessons learnt today in schools, churches, and other sundry character molding associations. You can guess correctly what that future is likely to be given what Nigeria is today: condition of the educational system, the damage to the psyche of our children by self appointed pastors, the looting by examples of the politicians etc etc.

Therefore, children of primary school age up to secondary school in today's Nigeria are already being molded in line with the rot in the society. Except for the few lucky ones-Aondoakaa's for example-that enjoy their father's loots abroad, get better education and the required discipline for growing children, others depend on providence for a life of fulfilled dreams and aspiration. Students in Nigeria's universities are already formed in character. All of us know what obtains in Nigeria universities today. It goes without saying that the appropriate targets for change are children below teen years. At teen years, they are already subconsciously living the way they are groomed, with some showing little variations here and there. Where is the hope, therefore, for Nigeria?

Biafra!

There is no gain saying the fact that some form of radical changes are needed in Nigeria. But as we can see, babies yet unborn and those that suckles on their mother's breasts are the next hope for Nigeria. Already, those of them in kindergarten and primary schools may-or can never- benefit from a good system before they get to the University. In order words, their formative years lie at the mercy of present Nigerian system which, doubtlessly, deteriorates each passing day.

Biafra, like a new born child, is the hope for Nigeria. With the emergence of Biafra, the scale of work needed for mentally unfit Nigeria's leaders to manage a big nation like Nigeria, will be reduced. For Biafrans, the lessons learnt in Nigeria would come in handy as the government of the Republic of Biafra(GRB)swings to action to establish constitutional democracy, policy formulations and implementations that filter out the filth of Nigeria's society.

We miss road

We start playing football when we are already 25 and above while in the other continents they start at 5

We marry when we did not even kiss and test if the lady is cold or hot type, only to suffer all the time in a painful marriage bondage.In the developed world they kiss, love and even live together for years before marriage.

We become pastors over night, without going to theology schools only to be exploiting poor folks and preaching only prosperity.

We want to be rich without hardwork and foundation that is why we become politicians, armed robbers, pastors and kiddnappers.

People start politics at the age of 18 in the developed world but we jump into it at the ages of 30, 40 , 50 and even 60 as a business venture.

In our society , quacks are patronized and recognized while professionals are ignored and dormant.

We copied american presidential system of government only to be practicing a centralized unitary government

We lose credibility and morals to robbery and cheating.

ABC BOSS task govt. on road rehab, security

Why do we have all the bad roads in the South despite the cost linking cities in the South cheaper?

Below is extract culled from The Guardian:

THE Managing Director of Associated Bus Company, ABC Transport Plc, Mr. Frank Nneji, has reiterated calls for the Federal Government to tackle insecurity, dilapidated sections of the nation’s highways.
Specifically, Nneji emphasised the urgent need to find solutions to the deplorable portions of the Ore-Okada stretch, Ore around Paradise Hotel before Ofosu (Benin), Uromi-Auchi, Irio (Ekiti), Emure-Ekiti, Aba-Ikot Ekpene, Umuahia-Ikot Ekpene, Umuahia-Okigwe, Aladea and M-Tel junction before Eleme (both along Aba-Port Harcourt Expressway), among others.
Speaking recently at the company’s customers forum, Nneji said that travelling by road in Nigeria still remained a disturbing reality and a great challenge to both the driver and his passengers, adding that this was why ABC Transport had kept calling on the Federal Government to give Nigerians “all-season roads”.
He also used the opportunity to announced that the 2010 edition of travel and win promo had been suspended in compliance with the directive of the National Lottery Regulatory Commission.
He said that though there had been marked improvement on few roads, including the Owerri-Onitsha road, there is still work to be done.
Blaming most mishaps on the highways on the deplorable state of roads, the ABC boss exclaimed that many of such accidents were avoidable.
Speaking further, he said: “More disturbing than the issue of bad road is the increasing level of insecurity, which has recently plagued the country, especially the Southeast and Southsouth parts of the country.
“The state of terror created by the perpetrators of these vile acts of kidnapping, bus hijacking and robberies has taken its toll on road transportation and multiple effects on our operations cannot be downplayed.”
He added: “Passengers now travel with increased tension and anxiety, bracing themselves for possible attacks on these routes; social travel has drastically reduced, as people only travel out of necessity and not desire.
“Due to the frequency of these attacks, especially at night, we had to terminate night travel at some point.”
Nneji gave the activities of the company introduced this year to include the inauguration of the state-of-the-art Marcopolo bus, Generation 7 and increasing the firm’s fleet in the shuttle buses and coaches.
Others were the SMS booking, discounted fare, sprinter service for light travellers and the creation of new ABC terminal in Asaba, Delta State.
“We implore the government, security agencies, stake holders on the need for urgent and decisive action to curb this anomaly that is seriously threatening the fabric of our society and our quest for social integration at all levels,” said Nneji.
He appealed for customers understanding over the suspension of the 2010 travel and win promo. “We feel disappointed really that we had to suspend this important customer-reward scheme. But, being a socially responsible corporate citizen, it is only necessary that ABC Transport comply with the provisions stipulated in the National Lottery Act, 2005, as upheld by the National Lottery Regulatory Commission. Please bear in mind that ABC Transport is looking at other ways of rewarding its esteemed customers, come next year. We shall communicate this to all gold and diamond customers as soon as the structure has been established,” Nneji concluded.

US Impose Travel Ban On Aondoakaa

Copy from: Saharareporters.com



President Barack Obama has signed an order banning Nigeria's former Attorney General, Michael Aondoakaa from entering the US. The order was signed last week, making Aondoakaa the first Nigerian former public official sanctioned since the return of democracy in 1999. The US government had warned at the United Nations on Monday that several corrupt officials in Africa face travel bans and visa revocation as a way of combating corruption.

Saharareporters had reported that during the dying days of the Yar'adua regime several members of his kitchen cabinet were listed for visa ban by the US government. Also last week, Saharareporters revealed that Aondoakaa was being investigated by the Serious Organized Crimes Agency of the United Kingdom over money laundering activities.

A US State Department source told Saharareporters that the travel ban on Aondoakaa would also be extended to two of his children or relatives who were granted student visas. “The US will not welcome public officials who abuse their office or engage in questionable or illegal conduct,” said the source, adding that Washington deplored some of the activities that took place during Aondoakaa’s tenure as attorney general.

Saharareporters could not confirm if the two Aondoakaa children or relatives affected by the travel ban are currently in the US. However, we could confirm that three of Aondoakaa's daughters are currently living in London with his first wife, Susan.

Two of those daughters are college students in London while a third one attends a private school. Elizabeth Aondoakaa attends City University of London and Anna Aondoakaa is a student at the University of Surrey. The youngest daughter, Susan Nwese Aondoakaa, is at a private primary school in London.

Our sources further revealed that two of Aondoakaa’s sons, Akugha Aondoakaa and Samuel Aondoakaa, and a daughter from his second wife, now live in London with Aondoakaa's first wife, Susan. The former attorney general’s second wife lives in a secluded mansion in the Rayfield GRA area in Jos where Aondoakaa mostly hid expensive cars he received from various corrupt public officials and companies.

A source in the Federal Ministry of Justice in Abuja told Saharareporters that Aondoakaa “was notorious for running extortion schemes during his time as the attorney general,” adding that the rogue former AGF greedily accepted cash, cars and land from serving or former government officials known to have looted the public treasury.

Re: close to the edge

Kendo, i love ur detailed analysis of the deplorable state of Nigeria and ur glimmer of hope for the sovereignity of the state of Biafra.
I still have a question: this nigeria in this state, are they not as dis-united as we are? The north brings forth a presidential candidate, the south steps down 4 them, but we produce 2 candidates within us. If we can't unite now, how can we unitedly fight 4 biafra? Only me don tire self.

Kidnappers and the security Services

Every Nigerian must be worried with the rate of kidnapping in the country. Initially, it was mainly expatriate Oil workers but this has moved from the South South to the South East. Gradually, this would extend to other parts of the country.

The consequence of kidnapping would be reluctance of individuals to denote money for community projects to avoid attracting undesirable elements. Some chaps living in the United States denoted money for the renovation of their local church only to attract hoodlums who kidnapped their mother and demanded ransom money.

The Nigerian Police have a case to answer and should not pretend that they do not know the criminals among us. A police man told me that he does not need to account for all his bullets which use to be the norm. To buttress his point, he fired into the Air to prove to me that he can do whatever he likes with his allocated bullets without accountability.

Where do criminals buy or get their bullets? The federal government must establish without delay a system of bullet identification and traceability. This would help the authorities to trace the source of unauthorised weapon or bullet use. Today, we have weapons that may be authorised and issued legally but used for illegal purposes. This must stop if we are to minimise illegal weapon use
