Biafra Agitation: The Dimension Of The Argument

I have been prompted to express my thoughts on the Biafra agitation by the dimension the argument has taken, especially where spin-doctors who are known agents of divide-and-rule have gone back to their usual work of dividing the indigenous people of Biafra. The major aim of these divide-and-rule elements who tend to cry more than the bereaved is to use the instrumentality of the media to tag the Biafra agitation an Igbo “affair”. The irony of the debate is that majority of those divide-and-rule advocates who have sworn to keep inciting Biafrans against each other are non-Biafrans. I think the future or restoration of Biafra should strictly be left for indigenous people of Biafra to decide.

Muhammadu Buhari: Cleaning the Augean Stables By Mike Rapu

Augeas, the mythical king of Elis, kept great stables that held 3,000 oxen and had not been cleaned for thirty years – until Hercules was assigned the job. Hercules accomplished this task by causing two rivers to run through the stables. This story depicts two things: the misfortune of inheriting a messed up estate, and the level of creativity and innovation required to clean up the mess. To be clear, here, I refer to the mess President Muhammadu Buhari inherited from 16 wasted years of the Peoples Democratic Party’s hold on the reins of leadership in our dear country.

I write as an independent Nigerian, suffering what every other person is suffering, plying the bad roads every other Nigerian plies and like many other graduates, I spent years searching for a job. I also wish to say here that I am not a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) neither am I a member of Buhari’s administration. 

LOOTING: THE RELIGION OF ACCIDENTAL SENATORS

Nigeria Senate

Since the advent of this democray, the Nigeria National Assembly has been very corrupt and when it comes to looting in Nigeria, there is no difference between political parties or "honest" or dishonest legislators. Simply put, there is no honesty. Furthermore, there is no difference between ethnicity, religion or region. They all have one common purpose: to loot Nigeria at any slight opportunity.

99.9% of Nigerian legislators (whether in the Senate or House of Representatives or State Assemblies; whether they are Christians, Muslims, Traditionalists, Atheists or what have you or whether they are Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Efik, Fulani, Ijaw, Kanuri, Ibibio, Nupe, Tiv, etc) they are very dishonest. The only language they understand or religion they have in common is LOOTING. Some might pretend to be honest, showing outwardly to the people that they are honest and that they are for the people. It's all pretense and what has been happening in the National Assembly since 1999 till date are all the numerious evidences. I can tell you right now, none of them is honest. They are all self-seeking. Once it comes to money, positions, expectations, what will benefit them and their families now or in the future at the expense of the citizens, they will all agree on that very quickly, even the remaining .1% will switch side at the last minute. That is Nigeria.
