WHEN DID TELLING THE TRUTH BECOME BLAME GAME? NIGERIANS ARE BORN TO THRIVE!

How very apt at this moment of Nigeria's historical experience, the adage which states that, "To destroy a monumental edifice could be a very simple task, but to repair and re-build it would definitely turn out to be a Herculean challenge!" It was very easy and simple for previous Nigerian "leaders", (military and civilian), to loot the treasury which belongs to the common people of the nation with impunity and reckless abandon and leave the hapless citizens, high and dry, believing that there would neither be retribution nor restitution, but they were very wrong because the Almighty God has installed a righteous government to rescue His downtrodden children and punish all culprits! (Romans.13:4). The time of retribution and restitution is NOW and President Buhari is the LORD's BATTLE AXE which has been placed upon the ROOT to cut down every evil tree of corruption that the LORD had not planted in the nation of Nigeria to be cast into everlasting fire! ( Luke.3:9). The President has every right to blame all past administrations for all the economic woes/predicaments and the perennial situation of insecurity of lives and properties that formed the foundation of the nation's persistent political trauma and quagmire and though he had been mostly criticized severally by those who had skeletons in their cupboards in order to cover up their tracks, but they had not been so lucky! For instance, the former Publicity Secretary of PDP, who, after all vituperations against President Buhari, was caught "pants down" for collecting N400million naira blood money from former NSA, Sambo Dasuki - which he was now ready to refund- having realized that it was part of the embezzled military hardware funds! PDP's apologists in the persons of former CBN's Governors, Professor Charles Soludo and the incumbent Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, whom we credited as a "whistle blower" against corrupt government officials towards the tail end of his tenure, have suddenly woken up to fault the present economic team and policies of the new administration as inadequate and unprofessional!

Soludo said at a Delta State Economic and Investment Summit that the Federal Government should soften its grips on the control of State resources but revisit the 1963 Republican Constitution which prescribed revenue generation and appropriation in order to reposition its economic situation. He opined that Regions should generate individual resources and pay taxes to the Federal Government!
Comments: It is certain that Soludo, having "metamorphosed" into a PDP politician has run out economic ideas and industrial trends of the 21st Century, because there was no way single State units could thrive on their own without merging with their neighbours and to suggest REGIONALISM at this time, is like going back to the STONE AGE! If the Republican Constitution had worked, there would have been no need for the present 1999 document which is in operation! The Vice President, Professor 'Yemi Osinbajo, who attended the Summit, however disagreed and said that Nigeria had the ability to improve on the present situation but there was a need for a round table dialogue to achieve a realistic framework to make the country great.

Sanusi, had, during 15th Meeting of the Joint Planning Board and National Council on Development Planning, in Kano State on Wednesday, 24th August, 2016, also warned the Buhari-led Federal Government, that it would end up like the Goodluck Administration, if it does not change some of its policies. He insinuated that President Buhari like Jonathan should not think that government was always right, adding that the Change Administration should retrace its steps! Comments: The Emir got his postulation wrong completely! Jonathan and Buhari's Administrations are too parallel lines that would never meet because the former was a government of Darkness, while the latter is the government of LIGHT, which is ordained by God to set free, the poor masses of Nigeria from the bondage of poverty and slavery in their Fatherland!
The truth remains that CHANGE POLICIES take gradual process to achieve and distractions by ARMCHAIR CRITICS, are unsolicited at this point in time. We advice the former CBN Governors to listen to the Industrial genius, Aliko Dangote and be updated! The following is the testimony of Aliko Dangote, Nigerian business mogul and richest man in Africa at a forum recently:  " I believe this is the best period in the history of our country to actually diversify our economy, rather than seeing the current happening from a negative perspective; it was under this kind of situation that a country like Brazil transformed their economy and today they have become one of the leading economies of the world. We are lucky that the glut which we are talking about today only affect the oil sector and does not affect the commodities which we have the capacity to export in the Agriculture Sector" What about the golden remarks of the United States Secretary of State, John Kerry, during his recent visit in August 2016, to President Buhari: "You inherited a big problem and we will support you in any way we can. We will work with you very closely. We don't want to interfere, but we'll offer opportunities as you require." John Kerry also commended the courage of President Buhari in fighting corruption, saying, "We applaud what you are doing because, corruption creates a ready-made playing field for recruiting extremists." The US Foreign Minister also pledged to assist in tackling the humanitarian challenges in the North East, adding that his country would get the UK, France and others to augment the support since Nigeria which was a priority nation to the US, had made significant progress in that direction!

Humanitarian Crisis And Challenges At The IDPs Camps.
Statistics have revealed that Nigeria had the highest figure of over 2.5 million adults, and children as residents of the 28 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps, at the inception of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Change Administration in May, 2015, due to the unabated Boko Haram insurgency which began in Maiduguri, the Bornu State capital in 2009!  In one year and three months of military efforts to win the battle against the terrorists, government policy strategies, both at Federal and State levels to ameliorate the IDPs sufferings especially, the lack of regular meals, portable water, medical supplies and good sanitary environment had defiled all logics and mass street protests and road barricades by these unfortunate Nigerians - mostly women, infants and adolescents - have now become the order of the day!
On 25th August, 2016, most motorable roads in the Bornu State capital, Maiduguri, were all blocked by the desperate protesters, who complained that they had no meals in three days at a stretch and that many of the camp inmates died in high numbers on daily basis! It was further revealed that officials of National Emergency Management Authority, (NEMA), at all levels in Maiduguri, had reneged their official duties for reasons yet to be divulged and abandoned the IDPs to their fate of hopelessness but the latest protests which could not be "blacked out" out from the Press, was rewarded with 1,000 bags of rice which were immediately conveyed through the Deputy Governor's order to their camps! In the past three months multiple daily deaths in the IDPs camps have escalated at an alarming rate and the Federal Government had to declare a "nutritional state of emergency" in Bornu State which registers the highest population of refugees and clusters of camps. But within the first year of the new administration, emphasis had been shifted to providing the IDPs population which has risen to about 3 million, with better living conditions of resettlement in their local government areas and also increased provision of more and regular nutritional foods for those who were still in the make-shift camps.
It has been reported that thousands of unfortunate refugees, irrespective of age have died of malnutrition due to constant deprivation of food, water, fruits, drugs and medical attention round the clock - the following newspaper publications speak volumes: (1) " 2.5 Nigerian children are suffering from acute malnutrition". (2) " Insurgency and humanitarian crises in Northern Nigeria. (3) "Malnutrition:" Buhari Dispatches food, drugs, to Bama IDPs. (4) "Aisha Buhari Fights Malnutrition In Bornu."( 5) "Malnutrition: Buhari sends food, drugs to Bama IDP's camp."( 6) "Nigerian Air Force Establishes New Hospital For IDP's In Bama." (7) "Tension in Borno as Buhari seeks explanation." All of the above and more were the ripple effects of maladministration of the 16 years (1999-2015), of PDP looters whom posterity and the Almighty God would judge for their very cruel atrocities against innocent soldiers, security agents, civilians, children, babies, mothers, able-bodied men and all innocent citizens who could never understand why they had to die for no fault of theirs! In only 15 months, the APC Administration had achieved giant strides in all areas of (1)termination of massive institutional corruption from the system; (2) terror, violence, crimes and criminality from the entire landscape; and (3) landslide economic growth in spite of the rot that was left behind by successive PDP Administrations!

When Did Telling The Truth Turn To "BLAME GAME"?
The Word of God says: "Thou shalt know the TRUTH, and the truth shalt set you free" (John.8:32). The truth remains that the past 16 years of successive PDP Administrations were worst than all the Military incursions of 30 years into the Nigerian political turf put together!
(1) Former President Obasanjo: In a bid to perpetrate himself in office through an unconstitutional THIRD TERM AGENDA, he virtually "sold all critical government infrastructures of Nigerian nation", through a PHONEY PRIVITISATION POLICY to himself, and his cronies whom he believed would influence the "amendment" of the 1999 Constitution in his favour to remain in office!
(2) Late President Umaru Ya'Ardua: He was single-handedly handpicked by Obasanjo, in order to cover up all his shady deals and he did a good job of it through an official pronouncement on assumption of office, that he would not probe the activities of his predecessor and declared to the admiration of all the looters that "PDP would rule Nigeria for 60 years instead of the 100 years earlier predicted by Chief Vincent Ogbuluafor, a former PDP Chairman!
(3) Former President Ebele Jonathan: He was the "Capon" of the TRIO! In his almost seven-year tenure, he supported and encouraged institutional corruption and officially declared that "STEALING DID NOT AMOUNT TO CORRUPTION"! His tenure witnessed the worst of kind of brazen-faced massive corruption ever witnessed in Nigeria! It was during his tenure that BLOOD MONEY became the source of wealth for PDP heartless politicians who even collected the appropriated military hardware allocation with which to purchase arms and ammunition to prosecute the war against Boko Haram, from NSA Sambo Dasuki!

Patriotic Nigerians And APC Government Should Continue To Blame The PDP Looters Until Restitution Was Achieved!
Posterity must judge those who had looted the TREASURY of this nation and still have, only the effrontery and guts to criticize unashamedly those whom God had appointed to clean up their mess, under the guise of constitutional immunity that "a suspect was presumed innocent until the contrary was proved"; they may claim freedom of expression even in their guilt but GOD would ACT in judgment against them and they would ALL BE NAMED AND SHAMED BEFORE THE WHOLE WORLD! AMEN.
