Kaduna Bomb Blast- Is this the opposition’s Blood Therapy to its alleged ‘Demonization’ by the PDP!?

Kaduna Bomb Blast- Is this the opposition’s Blood Therapy to its alleged ‘Demonization’ by the PDP!? When the witch cries in the night and in the morning the child dies you don’t need a sorcerer to tell you what may have happened! You recall how Herr Hitler and his Nazi party in criminal pursuit of power sent their SA agents to burn down the Germany Reichstag then turn around and blame the German Communist Party which helped to destroy the German Communist Party and ensured Hitler’s accession to power; that may perhaps be the scenario playing out here in Nigeria! Have a look at the events of the last 72 hours: Ø Gen. Muhamadu Buhari wrote his state of the Nation’s letter to the President. Ø Lai Balogun , spokesman of the APC accuses PDP of ‘Demonizing’ the APC of course referring to general perception by all reasonable persons that the opposition may be directly or indirectly using the insurgents either to unseat President Jonathan directly or trigger an impeachment against the President on the ground he cannot handle the nation’s security! Ø Gen. Buhari visited Kaduna, mark you Kaduna and the bomb blast. Ø Gen. Buhari claiming even before security agents finishes their preliminary investigation that he was the sole target of the blast and party actually calling it an assassination attempt! Ø Chief Odigie Oyegun and other opposition leaders visiting Arch Bishop Onaika at Abuja and Chief Oyegun claiming that now the opposition has been exonerated of complicity as regard sits perceived support of the insurgents. Ø Lai Balogun on TVC interview, just last night resumed his attacks on the president as regard the way he is attending to the nation’s security! He actually argued that the one billion Dallas the President was asking for to shore up the army’s effectiveness was unnecessary and that come to think of it that the president has already spent $14 billion since the start of the insurgency and further reasoned that the President should have thrown the whole lot in to create jobs build industries, build schools and whole lot of other facilities simultaneously as the insurgency is going on! Lai Balogun’s reasoning is that such investments would have controlled the Boko Haram better other than a military solution! Even before analysis of these curious developments, I am sure that you would have noticed a palpable desperation by the opposition to make many feel that they simply have nothing to do with the insurgency! It is only you that knows where to pitch your tent I know where I have pitched mine, however if you look at the series of successive and fast events you are most likely going to assume and most probably right that all the successive events were all a series of planed strategy to divert the general opinion! What I mean is that that is a remote possibility that the Kaduna Bomb blast may not actually be just a Boko Haram bomb! It may be a bomb which may have be cunningly stage managed! I hope very seriously that this remote possibility is unfounded. I really hope but one can not but wonder at the curious events to the bomb blast and subsequent events that are still going on. The opposition should not think that Nigerians are fools or suffering from collective amnesia. Several leaders of the opposition have said that they would make the country ungovernable for the President just because the President is not from their party because you recall the comic invitation of President Jonathan to join the opposition. If he had been crazy to listen to the ridiculous call he would have been a ‘progressive’ right now! So since the president did not listen to such call the country is just one step from being ungovernable and what does the opposition expect us to do? To believe that there is any amount of soap they would use to bath to make us believe the opposite. To start with the opposition’s generally perceived quest to use the consequences of the insurgency to perhaps unseat the president has failed and not only that the cost of the insurgency has became quite a colossal amount that if care is not taken it would soon threaten the overall development of the country and what is more who ever that started the insurgent have lost complete control of the hoodlums. In fact as of now even if President Jonathan is chased back to the mangrove swamps of Beylsa it is obvious that who ever that is coming in would sure have a devil of nut to crack as regard the activities of the monstrous criminal group created to unseat the President! My honest advice to the President is that he should do all he can not to under estimate the challenge the leaders of the opposition may possible come up and he should do well to keep keen eyes on all and sundry if he ever hopes to survive the trouble that is on the ground and new ones that will sure arise. This is no child game this is a devilish game and the least danger is destruction! Kaduna blast should be carefully be investigated in details perhaps that might offer clew who is doing what in Nigeria! My advice to the opposition and their leaders is simple; just like they have now said that they have nothing to do with the insurgents let it be so and not only that they should join hands with the President to stop spilling the blood of our citizens as fast as possible and let it be seen by all Nigerians that they are indeed helping but if they continue to do and say what they have been doing and saying as regard this insecurity ever since it started then I am afraid that it would be quite impossible for any sane person to believe that remotely they have nothing to do with this mindless maiming of our hapless citizens and I do not see how Nigerians can ever forget nor forgive this liberal spread of death and misery!

Light and Heavy Weapons Purchases and importation by Governors and others

Light and Heavy Weapons Purchases and importation by Governors and others! It was on record that some governors in the North were massively purchasing weapons, which according to some of them they were to have distributed those to vigilantes groups! Now the insurgents in the North East have become a colossal night mare for the living and the nation in general and a sorry tale for all that have died and numerous Nigerians that have lost heir hard earned properties to the mindless hoodlums! Security is now costing the tax payers close to 25% of the gross budget! Yet just yesterday Gov. Rauf Aregbesola was shown handing over a number of APCs to the Nigerian Police. A laudable move you may take it but what happens to the weapons the Governor bought that he chose not to hand over to the security operatives!? Same questions for all other governors and others buying all manner of light and heavy weapons! The government must put a stop to this in-descrimate purchase of weapons other than the authorized security agencies in Nigeria or in the alternative no weapon should be bought by anybody without authorization by the army, Police and SSS. Where this is breached the governor or who else should be treated as a clear enemy of the Nigerian State and people! The security situation in the country as of now is too charged up and highly unpredictable that no one should be allowed to mess around with any kind of weapon whether light or heavy weapons! Enough of the laxity!

Medical Workers and NMA sure in a game of blackmail against the ministry of health and the presidency!

Medical Workers and NMA sure in a game of blackmail against the ministry of health and the presidency! You recall the elongated down tools by all categories of medical workers of all carders including Nigeria medical association then each group was asking for what they felt was good for them including an enhanced pay and other things among them was the issue of Nurses , radiologist lab technicians, pharmacists and whole lot of other medical personnel asking for some sort of consultant status and that any member of the medical field with appropriate status, certifications and requisite experience should be able to play the role of medical director regardless of if the person is of core medical practice. The NMA was part of that strike and knew of the demands of the other Medical officers but they never said anything. They concentrated on their common and general; request and since neither the NMA nor the other cadre of medical staff agreed then to drop any of their demands everyone got what was requested! Everybody went home happy and temporary stopped scores of Nigerians dying in hospital as result of the strike. I guess because of dubious ego, members of the NMA suddenly realized that those they had repeatedly looked down upon could now possibly occupy the exulted position like themselves, they now turned back and started taunting the government that it shouldn’t have allowed the other cadre of medical profession those concessions. The next thing was that the government should reverse to the old statuesque quoting international best practices! The question for our swollen headed doctors is where were they when it was approved!? The implication of this dubious demand is that if for any reason the government reverses to the old status the other cadre of the medical field would down tool and if the government refuses to accede to he request of NMA Nigerian would continue to die in hospital on daily basis as a result of NMA strike increasing the number of deaths accounted for by Boko haram! The NMA is clearly in a dangerous game of blackmail against the government and they should call themselves to order and perhaps discus a common position with the other cadre and get back to the government and if they are not part of the conspiracy along with Boko haran they should as matter of urgency resume work without any further delay! It is a no case submission! Igwegbe Lawrence emeka
