A LETTER TO SOUTH EASTERN NIGERIANS

Dear people of Igbo extraction,
I did a piece not too long ago on my apology to you for not understanding your anger towards President Buhari. I felt your pulse and saw your agitations over what you termed deliberate sidelining of Igbos in this APC led government.


But I also want to bring to your notice things that could have led to the purported sidelining.
Impunity was one of the strongest campaign concerns of this APC government along with corruption. And thank God the fight against corruption has started and is on-going. Are you aware that there is a senator named Stella Oduah from Anambra state currently occupying  a seat in the Nigerian senate who was dropped for alleged corruption in the then Jonathan led government who after her sack not only received praises from her people but also contested and was voted for in the last elections. Obviously and even till now, she sees nothing wrong with what she did and her people agree with her.

Do you also know that based on the feelers from the last general elections, the Igbos were the strongest voices that cried against buhari describing him as a beast who was immune to human feelings?

Based on the campaign propaganda by South Easterners in the last elections again, they do not care if corruption kills this country,urging former president Goodluck Jonathan on, the only thing they care about is that he is their brother.

Are you nationalists? I might as well ask. Do you put the interest of this country ahead of your personal interests. And now you want to serve in the government. Nigeria is bigger than tribes and ethnic groups.

The Biafra agitations is not a solution to this Issue. This is the time to arise and work together to save this nation. President Buhari already has his hands full with the economic situation. Lend him your support and let everyone work hard to save this country. Who knows, if we all work together, we could just end the age long hatred between all our tribes and Nigeria would rise to great heights.

Thank you.

Ukwuoma.

THE GAINS AND LOSSES OF THE ABSENCE OF MR PRESIDENT: BY UWAKWE ROLAND.

President Muhammadu Buhari has been absent from duty since the last few months on a purported medical checkup in London. Good a thing he legally transferred power to the Vice President who is now the acting President, this is unlike the imbroglio that played out during Yar’adua’s time when the National Assembly had to invoke the doctrine of necessity so as to effectively transfer power to then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan. The problem is that even as an acting President, Yemi Osinbanjo has limited powers to fully assume responsibility as the commander in chief, this is because most of the big government functionaries may still owe their loyalty to Mr President, couple with this, Buhari appointed people of his like minds who may not comfortably work with the acting President that will want to bring his knowledge of law and practice into governance. Hence the long absence of Mr President may eventually result to a slow down of democratic dividends. The above ...

RAPE, ITS JUSTIFICATION AND VICTIM SHAMING

It's sad that this is a world where things are not perfect but isn't that why we have laws; to correct the ills in society? I read today on a blog about a filmmaker who said that "nonviolent rape" should be legalized and that the reason rapists were raping girls was because they were sexually frustrated and that girls should accept it and even prepare themselves for it by carrying condoms and cooperating with their rapists. In fact it is clear that civilization is beyond running water and having flushable toilets, a lot of minds are still in a dark place. Before you join the number of people condemning him, think of how you shame victims of rape by suggesting that somehow they did something to provoke the animal instinct in the rapist. The dust hasn't settled yet on the case of Busola Dakolo and Biodun Fatoyinbo where an Abuja high court struck out the case and called an abuse of court processes and said it was statue barred. They were irregularities as cited by ...

LOVE IS OVERRATED

We often mistake lust for love and many people mistake infatuation for true love. So many people preach that if you are no longer happy in a marriage then you should just call it quits. How about telling people to remember what made them happy in the first place and work on getting back to that place. A man wakes up in the morning and tells his wife he wants a divorce because he has fallen in love with someone else even when children are involved. The fact that you once proposed marriage to a person means you once considered her above every woman, how then do you discover years into the marriage that you love another? Especially after having kids. You probably have seen a slimmer woman or a pretty face or a sexy woman and concluded that you now have a new love. The desire for something new is not usually love but an attraction which can be classified as lust or infatuation. Any time you put your new flame above your children, then you know that you are deep in lust. Sex is an integra...
