As much as I would love to agree
with Reno that his claims are valid, even if it is just a tad valid, in this piece
http://premiumtimesng.com/opinion/152670-nigeria-2014-fact-versus-fiction-reno-omokri.html I am sure
his outburst is not for the sake of many impoverished and suffering Nigerians
caught in the middle of politicking and the deception games of Nigerian politicians.
I read the and understood every line of this long epistle about APC and PDP,
but to what end is his arguments? To garner support for GEJ in 2015 or to
pre-inform us that both parties APC and PDP is still the same team? We already
know so we can seek a presidential candidate from Mars.
It's interesting to know that "In 2011 President Jonathan Promised to
Build Schools for Itinerant Scholars in The North Known as Almajiri. As at
Today, 123 Almajiri Model Schools Equipped With Malam's Quarters, Hostels,
Qu'ranic Recitation Hall and Science Laboratories Have Been Completed While 277
Are Awaited" but the question is... What are the so-called Almajiris
still being taught in facilities built with tax payers money? Northern and
Islamic supremacy in a more comfortable environment, with more facilities to
get creative at it. I have lived in Northern Nigeria and I have taught in the
system with a firsthand experience with the products of the Almajiri system, it
is not where they are taught that is the problem, it is what is being placed in
the subconscious of this children under the guise of Islamic studies so
creating a more conducive environment is like passing gasoline down to hell, we
will end up with more sophisticated Shekau and probably more informed
extremists to deal with.
My grandma is rummoured to be 128
years old, we have facts to back that up but no documents, the deductions was
made from the age of her last sibling who died 11years ago at the age of 92. He
had a recorded birth so we knew how old he was when he passed on but I don't
think it was the improvement on life by GEJ recorded at 52years which is light
years away from 128 that has kept my sweet grandma alive.
How come it is only ABC transport
that saw the roads built by GEJ?
Who attends the new universities
and where do the graduates go to work after they graduate from them?
I heard something about the
railway and am sure Reno has been to Kano or Kaduna recently, did he patronize
the railroads or used a private jet?
What is the outcome of the
privatization of NEPA so far...more blackout and less responsibility for the
Nigerian government?.. Tony Elemelu must be smiling somewhere right now
I have lost more female friends
to childbirth in the last 3years of my life, none in the preceding 7 years
before 2010 and I've had so many God children, the oldest will be 10 this November
so my friends didn't just start giving birth all of a sudden, I wonder where
Reno got his doctored child birth mortality index from?
I remember a hailing coach Tella
won the cadet competition under a sickly president Yar Adua so I will assume
our GEJ is sick somehow, physically or upstairs if that's what he's got to show
as a promise kept.
Reno should get his facts right,
heart surgery had been carried out in LASUTH since the day of Yar Adua and even
CNN knows. How come the first was in 2013 when Dr. Bode Falase confirmed 13
success stories as at March 2010 here in Lagos state on LASUTH facility. Here
is a link to the news in 2010 march health journal.
http://nigerianhealthjournal.com/?p=123 Abeg we need fresher lies.
Reno claims "3 Million Jobs Have Been Created in the Agriculture Value
Chain Since 2011", lies from the pit of PDP. Even plus the cows that pulls the plow in Jigawa and Yobe, there
is no way in hell 100,000 jobs had been created in those years. All
agricultural installations in Nigeria combined as not produced even 1 million
bags of produce (rice, beans, millet, wheat and everything combined) not even 1
million livestock so it's impossible for 3 million people in the agricultural
system to be so under productive, even a chicken lays more eggs.
I know it is just a barrage on
APC by PDP to parade their inconsistencies, but this in no way justifies the
demonic, unproductive, ill-fated, chauvinistic, disgusting, incongruous show
the PDP as given Nigerians in the last 14years. Permit me to say that will all
the evidences of corruption thrown in our eyes daily, from the Farouq Lawani's
of committee on subsidy thieves vs Otedola aka Okonjo Eweala's "cartel",
to the Diezani Alison-Madueke pyramid, to the recent bullet proof BMW, the only
conviction the EFCC as managed to get is against a LAUTECH 24years old yahoo
boy… That should shown with shinning light on GEJ anti-corruption campaign
dossier. Here is a SR report on it in case EFCC or GEJ needs something to
reference
http://saharareporters.com/press-release/efcc-press-release-court-jails-undergraduate-3-years-love-scam
or probably borrow from Linda Ikeji
http://lindaikeji.blogspot.com/2013/01/mercedes-benz-suv-range-rover-sport.html
I don’t think they got conviction for this one yet though, but Reno should have
included it in PDP/GEJ's defense.
The truth is definitely staring
us in the eyes because we see it daily, men like Reno should be stoned at sight
for coming out to point crooked fingers at crooks like him. I wonder how such
men wake up in the morning and look at their own children, hoping that someday
something good will come out of their mottled investments… Maybe we should
start ignoring this our politicians so that they will know the show is over
already, we should start working on us and allow them fall by their own counsel.
Our anger and discontent should be transmuted into ideas on how to encourage,
empower and strengthen the youths and young powers out there on the streets
that knows nothing about Linda Ikeji, Babatunde Rosanwo, Sahara Reporters or
even Blogs, Facebook or Twitter but determines who win or loose in every
election by virtue of strength, number and force.
This youths are worst than
unknown soldiers, impatient enough to ever send a text, whose use of a phone is
for calls and calls alone. Young Nigerians by nature but of a different breed
by nurture and torture. Youths whose only experience or feeling as been either
hunger or anger, who only understand the universal language money and will do
the bidding of who ever brings it their way, saint or sinner. We see them every
day and look at them with disdain because they are hardened and unkept and the
stench of "paraga" and "alomo" that fills their breathe
wouldn't make even allow us looking in the direction of their burnt brown wry
smile. Men like Tinubu, OBJ, GEJ and Co control the men that control this
youths and a man like Jagaban even wields more control because he's closer and
even walks their mist when the occasion calls for it. We call them "Eru-Iku" (Death's slaves) here in
Lagos, they are bred in thousands in Northern through the Almajiri system and
finer classrooms will not change the products, the South definitely have a
pseudo for this machineries and a Dokubo should know the word the East is not
without them too because hunger and anger is universal in Nigeria courtesy past
rulership and PDP's continuity of a legacy of decay and destruction.
While we are here on twitter and
BBM monitoring the elections or ranting away at the ills of the ailing
government and rulers in power, they are out there snatching ballot boxes in
the name of PDP, APGA, APC and any other "P" you can think of, or
rather hoping to win big at the lotto stand not interested in whether it's a
leader or ruler, productive or as dormant as Olumo rock. While we are few and learned, existing more
powerfully in this virtual world of the internet, they are plenty, many and
more than the numbers of the sand at the beach, real and ready to die for 1000
naira because they have not much to live for. The good news is whoever brings
food and money first wins their loyalty, who ever brings value to the table
first in any form controls their action. I know this much because I came from
the real world, "Dagrin" called it dirty Lagos and I know there is a
dirty, Abuja, Rivers, Kano, Kaduna and even NewYork… but unlike the dirty NY,
the numbers are unfavorable here in Nigeria, the dirty is a million times more
than the Lekki Lagos but can be managed and controlled with less millions than
Lekki requires and with more value propositions if properly planned. Afterall,
it is hunger and not bad roads that breeds the anger so with filled bellies,
even the roughest terrain will seem a bit more pleasant to walk.
My goals are set and I am not
planning to do it alone, but will do it alone if that's the only way. My target
is the street not Tinubu and he will never have the level of loyalty I have
earned on the streets of Ipaja and given more, I will be stronger than clueless
GEJ clones running my LCDA. My plan is to work more with the strength of the
street and use it to ensure that it is who we vote for that sits on the throne
and not who they pay for. With time and better hold on the forces that really
and truly determines the success of every election on the street, we will be
able to influence who is selected to represent from a party and in the nearest
future we will hopefully have a level playing where those will genuine interest
will be elected at primaries and not selected. As for me, my target is the
foundation, and with time we will build strong walls and get to the point where
the roof will not just be a shinny sheet, but a layer that protects and shields
the populace from the storm along with a wall of credible people in the
different arms and level of leadership and government.
Our nation is the hardware, the
people are the firmware and the core of the people is the software. My aim is
to write a rich software that is generic and structured backend and a simple, secured
algorithm that will be self upgrading with time, knowledge and civilization and
probably requires only a few patches being run as it is perfected across
generations.
