Nigerians be warned against senseless support of mutinous soldiers

Nigerians be warned against senseless support of mutinous soldiers! We all know the consequences of a wife constantly preventing the husband from dishing out appropriate punishment to the child whilst growing up. When the child subsequently becomes an armed robber and commences on spilling of blood of people the whole family would have realized the consequences of inaction and stupid indulgences. Even the civilians know of the consequences of mutiny in the military let alone the military officers! From day one all personnel of the forces know that absolute discipline is an must to be in the forces and that mutiny leads surely to death. So how can someone in the armed forces know all this and still get involved in mutiny. It is similar to armed robbers know that it is death sentence for armed robbery offenses and still; carry AK47 to go and rob house holds. There is no one in the country that would have forgotten so fast what the military did to this country especially on our journey to democracy. It is this class of military that now get involved in mutiny that may likely once again truncate our democracy whenever there is any kind of opening therefore flushing them out of the armed forces should not be treated with kid gloves or politicized we all will soon pay dearly for supporting elements in military to be subjected to strict military discipline and face the consequences of flouting orders. If any member of the armed forces is tired of the army he or she should resign and go away but if one does not want to resign then he or she should obey commands when ever it is given and as such face the consequences of flouting military commands! The Igbos has a proverb that the hand of the monkey should be quickly taken out of the soup pot before some one mistake it for a human hand! We must not mess around with the military’s disciplinary actions or we risk burning up with our stupidity. Yes, members of the forces are our brothers and sisters but just like a parent he must do what must be done to ensure that his children are disciplined!

President Jonathan the 6th Richest President in Africaا

President Jonathan the 6th Richest President in Africa!? It was reported a few days ago that a website rated our President, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as the 6th richest African President with total asserts in excess of $120 billion! It is almost obvious that this kind of publication may be as a result of destructive politics going on as regard 2015! Other wise who ever that puts this type of report on the web must have his brain reexamined and is obvious he did not do his home work well before putting forward this type of report obviously to depict our dear President as corrupt! Well, let me educate the foolish publisher of the website: Before President Jonathan became the President of Nigeria he was deputy Governor of Beylsa State for a few years, however immediately Deprye Almeysia was removed as Governor of Beylsa State Goodluck Jonathan became the Governor of the state for a few years probably less than a year and was picked up as Vice President to our late President Yardua for about two years and when unfortunately President Yardua died Goodluck Ebele Jonathan became Acting President for about two year and was subsequently elected President which he has barely served three years complete. Now if you are familiar about the relationship between Governors and their deputies , Presidents and their vice you would know that out of your figure of $120 billion Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan would be be singing Praises to the church if his bosses were to have allowed him to amass even a billion Dollars! So it meant that the bulk of the $120 billion you claim that our President had must have been taken out whilst as acting President and now a sustentative President of the Federation. If you are not acting completely ignorantly; Nigeria budgets between 4 trillion Naira to 5 trillion every year that is between $28billion to $ 30 billion each year. Let us take the upper limit of $30 billion it meant that Nigeria would have budgeted about $150 billion for about 5 years since it is from that the President could take out a whopping $120 billion. So what the website publisher is saying was that Dr. Goodluck Ebere Jonathan out of this $150 billion took to himself $120 billion leaving on $30 billion for the nations expenditures for the past 5 years! The publisher sure would do with further education; out of the lot budgeted for the five years the federal government which Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is in control could only get about 55% of the $150 billion that would be about $80 billion! So how could President Jonathan take out $120 billion out of $80 billion even if all members of the national assembly were not paid, all government ministries and agencies were not paid non of all his numerous transformation projects were not paid for, elections and all other thing that were funded were not funded!? So publisher, you see that you did our President wrong! Though this is not new it is just a repetition of the earlier strategy by the former CBN governor who spuriously alleged that $47 billion was not remitted by NNPC and he was under cross examination he continued to revise the ‘missing’ amount up and down without any kind of shame all in the name to depict our dear President as corrupt and obviously to influence the outcome of 2015 election. The same strategy is also being used right now as regard importation of vital arms to deal with BOKO HARAM some people are bent at making sure that such arms are never imported and what is more they use it to get to the president. Who does not know that it is not always the government of nations that sell military weapon and that if you are to buy from other sources that it is a cash and carry business! But the saboteurs on slightest wind that some arrangements are being made to buy anything would lick the information to authorities of the country in question. All this to create impression that Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is corrupt! Though I learnt this morning that the highly insulting website has been expunged the President should not leave any stone unturned to unearth those who are responsible for publishing the site to book. So as to teach some lesson to those who would dare to disrespect one of the finest leaders Nigeria has ever had!
