Sales of National Assets

Sales of strategic National Assets- Gen. Obasanjo playing Peoples-friendly Auctioneer!

Once I was discussing the ruinous Nigeria cabals who are in charge of the nation’s economy and the friend said they are smart milking the geo-polities for their bank accounts and I disagreed that they are not smart but right now I over rule myself and agree that they are smart but not smart as we know it   is deviously smart!

The truth is that since the last 20 years the Nigeria cabals apart from criminal loot of the treasury has been on the gradual transfer mind my word transfer not sell common assets to themselves, their cronies and foreign corroborators! You all recall how the General ‘sold’ many nation’s assets and who the general ‘sold ’ the 1004 flats to and how the person sold it at a tidy sum of N4billion to some property giant!

The general in playing his cun-man people-friendly auctioneer role presumably for the cabals which he himself mentioned, said that poor Nigerians would be allowed to join in buying multi-billion Dollars, NNPC, major airports, NLG etc, the general seem to have forgotten the CBN revelation that of all the amounts in Nigeria Banks only 2% of Nigerians own over 90% of the money and the rest of 98% of the population which I believe that the General is playing Angel for own less than 10% of the monies in Nigeria banks we have not taken account of the stupendous amounts same 2% stole from everyone and starched away in several European nations! So now tell me what chance has the poor 98% of the population have in a recessionary economy they are battling to feed themselves and crushing inflation to spare anything to use to buy assets that may be as much as $20billion!? Even if all the monies the 98% of the population had in banks were to be invested to buy the huge assets it would not amount to a hill of beans!

The most painful thing to me personally is that vast number of Nigerians are so stupid and palpably ignorant of the devices and operations of the cabals! The only prayer I have said repeatedly is that may it please the Lord at his own time to configure just one man or woman of courage and instrument of state powers to engage the cabals with vigorous treatment and not only recover stolen national assets but to confiscate all companies created by the cabals because every penny of that investment was milked off Nigerians and various geo-polities!

Folly of Purchase of dollars for storage!

A recent studies revealed that over 50% of daily Dollar purchases in the last nine months were for “preservation” of their individual wealth and not for bringing in any goods or services and since the government announced recession; close to 70% of daily purchase is for “preservation of individual wealth” However, this crazy and fruitless attempt to secure private fortunes has  been one of the major factors driving prices of local and foreign goods to the galaxies and it is believed that it is still the down of disaster on the way! Beware of folly of speculative capitalism!

I will quote verbatim from, “The Rise and fall of The Third Reich” by William Shirer, page 61: to indicate where we might be heading: ‘The fall of the Mark following French occupation of the Ruhr. The Mark as we have seen began to slide in 1921, when it dropped to 75  to USD1, the next year , it fell to 400 to one Dollar and by down of January 1927 to 7000!’ If you read the page further down you would find out that by mid-January same year, it was 18,000! By July it slid to 160,000 to one Dollar. By August 1 it slid to all time low of 1,000,000 Mark to a Dollar! By November 1923 it slid to mind boggling low of 4 billion Mark to one Dollar! That was just actually the beginning, because a year or so after it was going for over a trillion Mark to one Dollar!

So as you are buying all available Dollars and storing away and pushing prices of local produces and imported goods over the galaxies, beware that when some of your relatives dies of hunger you would at least shed off some of the Dollars you have saved to do at least a quick burial and if the relative is close enough, you may have to shed further Dollars to pick up school fees and upkeep of survivors!

As you are already aware, the only thing that employers do with glee in a recessionary economy is to sack workers and cut down expenses and never I mean never salaries increases! So, if you continue to buy and push up the value of the Dollar, have you considered that there would reach a time, when your entire monthly salary may not buy a Dollar!? The fact that is you have not already bought enough Dollar up till now, forget it you are on wild goose chase and fruitless! You are only helping to destroy a plunging economy and destroy everyone as well!

My advice for the government is to make access to genuine request of  Dollar easy in both banks and Bureau De Changes and should map out strategy to mop up all road side Dollar sellers if they fail to streamline their operations to save the Naira from further steep decline and save millions of our citizens from hunger and starvation! Though as far as I can see the cabals care a hoot what the ordinary Nigerians are going through since major pre-occupation is loot of the treasury!

Niger Delta Militants Responsible For Recession- Vice President!

Niger Delta Militants Responsible For Recession- Vice President!

I may want to remind our Vice President, if it would be called that, since to the best of my knowledge the Vice President has been living in Nigeria not to forget that for six years President Jonathan not only kept the economy out of recession but on average kept economic growth at constantly over six percent despite stiff confrontation with Boko Haram; yet less than two years of confrontation with ND militant; the VP takes perhaps the APC blame game to the next level! On the other hand if the VP is right that Niger Delta militants were responsible for recession, it would indeed surprise close watchers of the presidency, if the VP exonerates the Presidency from all blames when you consider the following moves by the President and the Presidency:

Ø  It is a fact that the President suspended most capital projects in the South South and South East and almost none in the North despite these facts a) all the projects both in North and South East and South South were initiated by same President Jonathan. b) There were even more projects in the North than South East South South South West combined! Just to mention but a few: East-West road, Second Niger Bridge and Maritime University.

Ø  Suspension of several allowances carefully worked out by Yaradua administration for the amnesty program in addition to freezing of accounts of some of the heads of respective militant organizations.

Ø  Alienation of other ethnic groups and geo-polities in all appointments into federal parastatals, inordinately favoring the North and in particular his North East. It’s worthy of note that both South South and South East has less than 5% of all appointments in all appointments into Federal parastatals. Someone, once perhaps, rightly described the President’s government; as government of the North by the North East for the North East!

Ø  As is if these statutory anomalies  were not enough, the President has never taking any reasonable action against his roving, ravaging rampaging kinsmen- the Fulani Herdsmen who had killed over five thousand Nigerians and damaged farm produce and properties in excess of half a trillion since the President took power!

If the VP is not expecting any response for these kind of administrative jamboree, then it means there is no point for any further comments on VPs comments and actions.

Allegation that President Buhari is seeking to Rule by emergency Powers-NLC others “Back him up”!

Allegation that President Buhari is seeking to Rule by emergency Powers-NLC others “Back him up”!

                       Beware of Ides of March!!!!!

They say that a dog that is about to die no longer perceive the smell of sheet! It is probably youths who were born after 1984 that do not know what Gen. Buhari was capable of doing with unlimited powers. For some of us that witnessed it firsthand; knew what the General is capable of doing with unlimited powers and for any one now to even think of further extension of powers of the President the person must have his head reexamined by good brain doctor. First the President is approaching 80 years it beats me why someone should be thinking of handing unlimited powers to a person at that age. Secondly apparent reasons, why the President is asking or is being proposed to have emergency powers is to deal with the economy. The question is this, if the President and his economic team do not know what to do with the economy then what new idea would he spring up when they give him emergency powers? I do not believe that the President is incapable of getting good brains within a hundred and sixty million population to thinker out a solid, workable economic blue print to see us out of recession but if that is the case then I think the President may consider throwing in the towel for someone else to try instead of seeking emergency powers. Based on his conduct as a military head of state; I personally think he is most likely to abuse the emergency powers even if it is necessary. I personally think that the price we all have to pay for a possible dictatorial rule far outweigh whatever marginal gain we might have by the exercise of emergency powers and as such I urge the national assembly even though I think is in a very weak position to reject absolutely the possible president’s request for emergency powers. It is even amusing that one of the organizations that “backs” the President is NLC which can best be described as a moribund union with multiple leadership out doing each other possibly to enrich themselves against the overall interest of the workers. In other words anything coming from the NLC as it is presently constituted should be disregarded because the leaderships are suspect whose music they are dancing! Finally I do not hope my  little write up is going to stop the powers that be to stop what they are planning but I am convinced when the lion is let loose both those that sing its praise and those that want it caged would be prey to the roaring lion! Be warned.

If there would be another Civil War in Nigeria? Here are the Immediate Reasons why it would be:

If there would be another Civil War in Nigeria?

Here are the Immediate Reasons why it would be:

I Actions of President Buhari since he took office May 2015

a)      Even though Ex-President Jonathan (Extract from South) executed and was executing more projects in the North than the South and much less in South South and South East, on assumption of office, President Buhari(Northern Extraction) had suspended or stopped more than 80% of all Projects being executed by Ex-President Jonathan in the south and on the other hand even though more projects were being executed in the North he has not suspended any being executed in the North. Namely he had suspended or stopped the following: i) Second Niger Bridge even though it was not to cost the government one extra dime apart from what had already been paid by Ex-President Jonathan, since it would have been a BOT (Build Operate and Transfer) project by Julius Berger. With this action which could have only been triggered by some intrinsic malice, what had been paid out by Ex-President Jonathan and amount committed by Julius Berger are wasted. b) East-West Road a strategic road in Niger Delta c) Maritime University, even though a special police college and extra 11 universities were built or being executed in the North by Ex-President Jonathan, President Buhari did not suspend nor stop any of them but the only one being executed in the Niger Delta was promptly suspended by President Buhari and same with number of other projects  being executed by Ex-President Jonathan in SE, SW and SS. d) The amnesty program delicately put in place by Ex-President Yaradua and maintained by President-Jonathan was grossly starved of fund that perhaps less than 40% of what was required to run the program is being released. E) The Niger Delta Ministry apart from over 500billion it was owed was further starved of funds that less than 40% of money it required is being released to it yet President Buhari substantially increased allocation to his North East.

b)      With assumption of office by President Buhari, his kinsmen notoriously known as Fulani Herdsmen extended the grazing-land grabbing they had been doing in other Northern states for the last 15year that had the herdsmen kill over 5000 people and property damage approaching $500 million to South West, South South and South East! Several people had been kidnapped in the South West, South South and South East and scores of people killed and properties worth millions of Naira destroyed by Fulani Herdsmen in several South Western states; in South South the story is the same. In south East it is fresh in our mind how the Fulani Herdsmen ransacked a village in Enugu state with over 50 lives wasted and property damage running into several millions of Naira despite the fact that the Police commissioner in that state was appropriately and timely briefed by the Governor of the state  before the attack, he completely turned his eye to elsewhere while the arson was going on, it was clear that somebody else more powerful than the Governor of the state ordered him to stay action on the arsonist, your guess is as good as mine. On all this major insecurity and potentially explosive national security breached the President never condemned his kinsmen and its instructive he was the patron of the cattle herdsmen before he became Nigeria President; rather what the President allegedly did was to push for a national grazing bill that would perhaps force largely unwilling states to map out grazing lands for the Fulani Herdsmen note it is for the private business of the Fulani cattle herders! It is probably in Nigeria and other crude and backward African countries that cattle is still being grazed in the bush and peoples farm land and instead of the President to do a holistic reform of cattle rearing to improve productivity, he is sticking to a wasteful grazing method that has seen thousands of farmers first ravaged by Fulani cattle and then killed by the Fulani herders!

c)       Since assumption of office, despite the Federal Character status in appointments, the President had from time to time skewed his appointment to the North and in particular to his North East to the extent nearly 80% of his appointments are from the North and even till now he has not deemed it necessary, for the sake of national security to reverse his approach to appointment even though he has seen the tension building up.

d)      With glowing tension and many people being provoked beyond limits particularly in the South, many people even from his North have called for urgent restructuring and true federalism but he and the vice-president had openly rejected restructuring! Furthermore the Conference that President Jonathan midwifed which would have reasonably doused the rising tension in the nation, the President was allegedly quoted that he had not read it or something like that. What this meant is that the President is not willing to make use of that document for any reason and yet tension kept rising amongst ethnic nationalities; the other day a Muslim slit the throat of a woman preacher right in Abuja the nation’s capital and host of other issues.

II Action of the Nigeria Cabals

The Nigeria cabals comprising of serving and retired Generals, Top Nigeria politicians, top civil servants and some top captains of industry from all geo-polities but in particular those from Hausa/Fulani extraction and some selected from South West who believed that they won the war against Igbos and therefore owners of Nigeria and resources in it would never want a federal Nigeria nor a restructured Nigeria but rather a unitary Nigeria that suits their purpose namely extracting from everyone and in particular Niger Delta and dispensing it to themselves as they deem fit. A truly federal Nigeria would see the cabals s it is constituted out of business of looting as is evident in the past 50 years that monies in the accounts of each of these cabals can feed a state for years even if it had no other source of income. So despite the expedience of restructuring and enshrining true federalism the cabals would rather opt for military re-conquest so that they may further strengthen their position to lord it over all and sundry. Otherwise a properly negotiated Nigeria had reasonably been reached at the last national conference that would have ensured reasonable equity for the federating units but even though you can’t lay hands on evidence but it couldn’t have been any other group that made sure that the conference decisions were not implemented. The question is who is afraid of a just Federal Nigeria; the answer is simple the cabals! So while it may seem as if it is the President’s urge for show of fire power that made him to do what he did apparently the cabals hand twisted him to ensure the cabals position. The question any right thinking person on earth should ask is what really is wrong with leadership after leadership to the extent that despite the huge resources Nigeria is endowed with Nigeria was and is navigating to a failed state. The cabals are the problems of the nation, period. Even if the entire Niger Delta is to be incinerated with Bombs as it is becoming obvious, it is not for the resources to be acquired militarily to be used by rest of Nigerians but for the cabals to continue their accustomed looting till the end of time! Having dwelt on this matter for a length of time I am convinced that even after the destruction of lives and properties in Niger Delta to secure resources to be looted by the cabalas, the Niger Delta people would recover and will once again ask question about their enslavement and who knows the children children of the cabals who would mix them in morass now would be in charge of all instruments of coercion and once more; freshdynamite and bombs and probably once more defeated and looting continues! The question is when the enslavement of Nigerians and in particular Niger delta stop would. The answer is simple it is either Nigeria Dies or the cabals die! Why we are talking about Niger Delta now is because that is where the resources the cabals are looting is domicile the cabals would no doubt decimate the people of any geo-polity who dares them as regard taking resources they would loot! After all the ordinary Hausa/Fulani man or Yoruba man is as marginalized as the rest of Igbos and Niger Delta.

III Poor Calculations by the various Militants

Finally the militants should have understand the mindset of the Nigeria cabals and know that the only thing they want is to get resources from whoever have it and gather in their caucus and share it and such should have concentrated in tactical deprivation of use of the resources against the cabals until such a time the cabals are tired and consent to a re-structured Nigeria where true federalism is practiced instead of declaring a republic which is open license for the Cabals to use their last drop of blood and all the military power to ensure availability of resources to be looted. Whichever way this confrontation would go I hope that future militants should learn and deal with the cabals to a standstill and perhaps help to save the country from the death grip of the Nigeria cabals.

Boko Haram and “Fulani Herdsmen” are two arms of coercive force by Fulani Mafia- The Way I see it.

Boko Haram and “Fulani Herdsmen” are two arms of coercive force by Fulani Mafia- The Way I see it.

Boko Haram and “Fulani Herdsmen” are configured by one and the same persons. The two groups are to achieve the following:

Boko Haram is to create enough insecurity in the system not only to topple Dr. Jonathan out of office but most importantly to bring to an early end the South’s hold on Power which the Fulanis believe is their Allah given right.

Boko Haram is also to rid the North and in particular the North East of some population of Christians and some Muslim sect that is in completion with the SunniMuslims namely the Shiet Muslims…

“Fulani HerdsmenerdsmenHerds” is to ensure grazing land grabbing in the North central and in particular the infidel middle belt.

“Fulani Herdsmen” where condition is appropriate, namely if a Fulani is in charge of the nations armed forces, should advance grazing land grabbing to SW, SE and SS! This would not only make the Fulanis the largest land owners across the federation but also enable them to achieve Danfodio’s injunction of ‘dipping the Koran into the Atlantic’! Since the first time they managed to dip the Koran into the Koran was by the sole effort of a Christian- Gen Gowon.

Boko Haram has achieved its set objectives, I do not believe that the President needed any effort to stop the activities of Boko Haram, recall he was “chosen” to be the spokesman of Boko Haram during Jonathan time! I believe that whatever the ‘military action’ to end the activities of Boko Haram was stage managed; because there were really few reasons why the actives of Boko Haram should continue: The South is severed from running the government and a large number of Christians and rival Muslim groups in the North East have been decimated!

The “Fulani Herdsmen” has largely achieved the first goal in the North central in particular middle belt. Now people like Audu Ogbeh speaks from both sides of his mouth on issue of “Fulani Herdsmen” that is a sign that the middle belt has surrendered reasonably to the Fulanis after a loss of nearly 20,000 lives in Benue Plaetue Nasalawa Kogi and other states and property damage in excess of 500 billion!

The set objective number two of “Fulani Herdsmen” is where A Fulani is in control of the nation’s armed forces to push their land grab to the south with stream of blood and arson and that is the stage we are right now. The tactics is the “Fulani Herdsmen” kill and burn down properties while their man in charge of nations securities  keep the securities outfit from any form of interference what so ever. This was exactly what happened in the destruction of an Enugu state VILLAGE! The governor of the state revealed that 10:00 pm information came that the “Fulani Herdsmen” were poised to exterminate the members of the village in question and that the Governor promptly summoned the Commissioner of Police DSS and other securities agencies and a plan of action reached but by 1:00pm the “Fulani Herdsmen” came for their blood spill the Commissioner of Police did not even look in the direction of that village and 50 soles and their properties were erased!  It is instructive that a police officer that allowed such a huge and dangerous breach of national security to happen could only get a redeployment or “removal” is an indication that someone else asked him not to take action! Your guess is as good as mine who is capable of such an order with little or no consequences to the corroborating officer.

I strongly believe that with the arranged “defeat” of Boko Haram, the Fulani Mafia detailed a number of former Boko Haram ex-militants to swell the number of the “Fulani Herdsmen” for the push south being sure that their man is now in charge of the security agencies that would put a check in their activities, though I might be wrong but when you factor in what was reported by Enugu state governor you can fix your judgment on my believes!

I also strongly believe that the strategy of the Fulani Mafia for the most expensive land grab for themselves and cattle is to use the fear of pool of blood to force southern states to beg the Fulanis to have grazing lands of their choice on one hand and once more dipping of their Koran into the Atlantic

I also strongly believe that even when the Fulani Mafia has achieved all its aim it intends to keep the duo of Boko Haram and “Fulani Herdsmen” perpetually as a formidable coercive force to get whatever they like from Nigeria state and a permanent Jihadist force for weeding of Christians and rival Muslims off North East on one hand and on the other hand when the time is right to be the arrow head in pursuing islamization of Nigeria state on gun point.

Conclusion and advise to South East, South West and South South Governors; On no account should the plan of Fulani Mafia allowed to come to reality. Each state legislator should as a matter of urgency come up with appropriate legislation to regulate the grazing of cattle of any kind in the whole of the state. And where such legislation is violated who ever that did so should be felt with according to the law in addition to using armed vigilantes to deal with possible treat from the so called herdsmen. Come to think of it the Igbos for instance have local cattle “Ehi Igbo” but no dealer of Igbo cattle would let it loose into peoples farm land to ravage their crops let alone allowing a Fulani cattle to come and do such. Where possible the Governors of all Southern states should meet and pursue a common resolve against “Fulani Herdsmen” and their supporters.

Finally, I once more call on the nation’s President to realize that this is a federation and that no ethnic group can lord it on another and as a matter of urgency order the immediate disarming of all herdsmen and also order arrest of all that have participated in killings of innocent citizens as well as kidnappers and arsonists. The President is also expected to help the genuine Fulani cattle farmers to move over to modern cattle rearing this primitive cattle rearing has now cost the nation more that the value it realizes in rearing the cattle in the first place. Come to think of it is the Southern part of Nigeria that singularly jacks up the cost of cattle, because they are the one willing to pay so high for a cattle much more than any Northerner is willing to pay! So what is the logic of coming to spill the blood of the major buyers of the cattle, so when and if all the buyers of the cattle die who would the crazy herdsmen sell their fat cows to!? So to help the crazy herders the Government of the Southern states must deal with the criminals among them with the most ruthless forces and means available.

Back to how the President can assist the genuine cattle farmers to modernize their operations. I mean doing away with rearing method that has lasted over 300 years and long outdated. In each state that has genuine cattle farmers the Federal ministry of agriculture, the government of the state and the cattle farmers are to provide enough land to accommodate all cattle farmers in segments of ranches. Each ranch is to be provided with strategic functional deep bore hole to provide all the water need of the ranches as well as enough to irrigate some portion of the ranch. Modern cattle feeding rows properly housed and ventilated are to be proved by the Federal ministry of agriculture. Each ranch segment is to be equipped with a primary school and secondary school to cater for the educational needs of the cattle attendants so that by the time they are ripe for a university education some might have put in 15 to 18 years for their masters and then be replaced with some other youths. Because the new improved variety of cattle mature faster, provides more meat and milk, the Federal government is to replace each cow with two improved variety of cattle after buying off what the farmers already had. Federal ministry of agriculture is also  provide the farmers with new feeding method namely palm kernel waste mixed with enriching groundnut  cake or any other appropriate food the ministry would come up with. Though from time to time the cattle would be released to feed on the grazing ground within the ranch and the soil enriched with cow dung and the circle is maintained.  It is expected that the ministry of agriculture should maintain this free for at least five years as well as providing tax moratorium of 5 years for them to truly stabilize. We believe that with this the farmers would produce more and method more effective and less of destruction of other peoples means of livelihood.
