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.

FREE LEAH SHARIBU!

My heart bleeds as I write this. I'm literally weeping as I pen this down but I know that there is hope. The existence of God tells me so. It's been over a year since this girl was abducted alongside her school mates but while others were freed, Leah Sharibu remains in custody for refusing to denounce her faith and convert forcefully to Islam, the religion of the dreaded boko haram sect. What bothers me is the silence of the Muslim community and powerful leaders across the world on this matter. What I don't understand is why people cannot call a spade a spade. Why cannot they come out to speak out against mindless religious radicalism , oppression and persecution of Christians all over the world? What efforts have been made to free Leah Sharibu and others like her still in captivity? How long will this continue?  I think it's a decision world leaders need to make on the benefits of Islam to mankind. Honestly speaking,  world over the only people guilty of terroism are...

THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION IN THIS GOVERNMENT: REAL OR SELECTIVE

President Muhammadu Buhari's selling point coming into the 2015 general elections was his would-be fight against corruption which many Nigerians said was Nigeria's biggest problem and which the international community also said was Nigeria's bane of development. His reelection in 2019 also echoed the same thing although many Nigerians were of course saying they had seen his true colours. In this government's fight against corruption, so much has been witnessed. There have been several convictions of high profile politicians but only people not at the core of the government or those who do not share the same religion with the president. Many embarrassing cases have been swept under the carpet like those of the former secretary to the government of the federation, the reinclusion of a wanted former government official (who was answering for his crimes as ex pensions boss) in this government,  most recently the appointment of a former politician who was tried in court for...

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...
