MY FEARS

It has been noticeable in governance in Nigeria over time that when the public acknowledges someone in office as doing well, those criminals in power are never happy. Many people that got into government to do good have often times left prematurely or are forced to join them. Hence the notable adage "If you cannot beat them, Join them".
Ribadu has chosen not to join them and the people who have over time labelled themselves as sacred cows are jittery on every seat that they occupy. His exit is not ordinary. The currupt in power fears who will be next in his pursuit to get the society clean of currupt leaders. The gangup against him to proceed on study leave like we know in Nigeria is equivalent to saying you are fired.
You are too much trouble and so they used this subtle means as an excuse to get rid of him. Now that a new man is chosen to lead the EFCC, I fear that those criminals would have chosen who they can dictate to. Invariably the bit of EFCC will no longer be deep. I wish Ribadu well and I also wish that Nigeria will come out from the grips of very currupt leaders.

Leaders Wanted 2

M.K.O. Abiola Ibrahim Babangida Olusegun Obasanjo Umar Yar'Adua Chronicles of Nigeria's Leadership Decay (Part.2) Just like Mac Arthur Douglas [the American general] argued in his memoirs that judgment was a crucial determinant of successful leadership. An officer with poor judgment ought to be made to face court martial, he concluded. Obasanjo, not only made the wrong judgments in a preponderant number of his policies and decisions, even in his personal, turbulent and bohemian life, he was in general infatuated with poor judgment at same time addicted to so many transparent monkeyshines. The consequence of his abrasive tongue, his impulsive behavior and his almost surrealistic attachment to the smaller pleasures of life was that he came across as a rather plain man, even a rustic, transported by a freak of nature into positions far beyond his ken. A reporter once said that no man was so privileged to remake Nigeria history and no one ever made such a spectacular failure o

LETTER TO SHARON

16TH May,2007 Sharon dear , I acknowledge the receipt of your mails, the contents were explicit, i mean clearly understood. However, i apologize for my delay in replying, it was owing to unavoidable circumstances which i could not easily surmount. Well, you're reading a quite comprehensive one from me now. Frankly speaking, i must say that i admire your manner of approach towards everything. In recent times, i noticed your outstanding thoughtfulness, and i appreciate that. May be am fine or not. You'd asked me blandly in your mail to give you a 'lowdown' of happenings in 9aija. Sharon, presently we're awaiting the verdicts of the electoral tribunals and also the preparations are in top gear towards the May 29 swearing-in ceremony for Yar'Adua (the product of sham they called elections). Unfortunately, this is the tragedy of Nigeria's democracy. Those to whom we entrust our fate do not belive in rules and procedures, due process is strange to them,they lac

tHe vErDiCt Nigerians are afraid the country would descend into chaos should Yaradua and Jonathan be sacked. Na lie, nothing will happen. Nigerians are afraid the combination of Buhari and Atiku portends evil for our country. Dat one too na lie......... I think this is why the tribunal upheld the yawaa elections of 2007. The danger in sacking Yaradua's government cannot be as great as the danger of June 12. If you want to get it right, then do it right the first time. How do we expect good governance from a man whose very election was flawed and fraught with corrupt practises? People are gloating and booing Buhari/Atiku and hailing Yaradua. How funny! The same people who were chased away by PDP thugs in conjunction with some policemen and soldiers and prevented from voting. The same Nigerians who were brutalized and shocked beyond words at the figures coming out from Iwu's INEC. I now believe something is wrong with this country. Now the head of that tribunal is about to bec
