(Looking at Nigeria and the World's Political System From a Godly Perspective).
A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 10.NO 435. 12th December, 2021.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!
CURRENT NIGERIAN POLITICIANS DESERVE OMICRON BAN BY ALL COUNTRIES!
It is very unethical for President Buharis’ handlers to lament and protest over Nigeria’s inclusion in the Red List travel ban to the United Kingdom in view of glaring presence of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 in the country!
Although Nigeria is also included on the Canadian red list, the temporary ban by UK has hit the nation’s money bags/launderers harder because British Isles is a second home to them and their families! Great Britain, England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales are countries suitable for Western education, medical tourism, holiday resorts shopping destinations and safe havens for dispensing illicit financial flows!
The cacophony of local /international propagandists which were very quick and loud in condemnation of the UK’s decision to protect its public health from suspected Omicron carriers from Nigeria were in error because they were ignorant of the TRUTH that consecutive Nigerian leaders woefully failed to develop strong and formidable institutions in all sectors of the economy/security and must therefore rush to Britain at the slightest opportunity to enjoy the FRUITS OF OTHER PEOPLES’ LABOR!
QUESTIONS:
(1).Are the Christmas and New Year festivities not in the around the corner?
(2). Have the Nigerian health, security, power or economic sectors gotten any better especially in the last SIX YEARS under President Buhari’s watch?
(3). Did Nigerian post-colonial administrators learn any TRADE from Britain, its former colonial master?
(4).What stopped Nigerian leaders from copying the BLUEPRINTS of Industrial Revolution Institutions – the British hallmark of investments in institutional and human development that have entrenched their centuries of democracy and strong economy that has outlived all their great and very outstanding political leaders?
POST-COLONIAL ERA PRODUCED COVETOUS LEADERSHIP!
New Nigerian political leaders shortly after Independence betrayed the citizens by focusing on quick dollars which accrued from Crude Oil instead of entrenchment of the peoples’ security and welfare!
Export agricultural groundnut pyramids, abundant cocoa seeds, rubber raw materials and the excess natural underground pearls of mineral resources that could have addressed human development infrastructures and established very strong institutions were exchanged for imports of refined and finished products from UK and other European countries!
QUESTION: What is the meaning of TRAVEL APARTHEID? The British High Commissioner in Nigeria had said that travel ban measures were “SCIENTIFICALLY BASED” for the protection of its citizens!
NIGERIA TOOK THE WRONG STEPS AND EXPECTS THE RIGHT RESULTS – WELCOME RAMAPHOSA!
First, Nigeria was aware that the deadliest Variant was discovered in Botswana, South Africa in (just as the very first Covid Variant was discovered in Wuyan, China, in December 2019) and that it had debuted on its soil through two travelers who migrated from that country to Nigeria on 26th November, 2021.
As at Tuesday 7th December, 2021, six more Omicron Variant were detected and confirmed by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), to further alarm an already frenzied population which is polarized in the respect of the presence of Covid-19 pandemic in Nigeria for the last two years!
The travel ban which would affect Visitor Visa applications and all international arrivals to the UK from all red list countries, including Nigeria and took effect from Monday 6th December, 2021, require pre-departure Covid-19 tests by travelers from all affected countries to protect public health and avoid further spread in the UK!
The commotion generated by Nigeria’s apologetics was very unnecessary and uncalled for because it is not a total travel ban on citizens from the affected countries; as Nigerian/UK Citizens and residents will be able to enter the country, but will have to pay while in quarantine for 10 days!
In addition, the British High Commission in Nigeria in a statement says that compelling and compassionate circumstances will enjoy positive attention from red list countries while travel restrictions remain in place!
Second, without due attention to tracking of the South African migrants to ascertain all people they had contacted during/after flight at the airport, President Buhari opened its borders and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on 1st December, 2021, to ratify some economic/investment MOUs, with the camaraderie of African brotherhood at the expense of massive infection to the Nigerian Citizens!
Virologists predicted at the weekend that Nigeria could slip into a FOURTH WAVE, “in days to come” due to change in weather!
Third, the President’s advisers who had convinced him in the affirmative that the new Variant posed no serious danger in spite of travel bans to all South African travelers to virtually all countries of the world totally forgot that Nigeria was not an island in the global village!
OMICRON HAS SPREAD TO 57 COUNTRIES! AND STILL COUNTING
The latest epidemiological report by the World Health Organization (WHO), said the Omicron Variant which has spread rapidly in SA has been reported in at least 57 countries across the world!
*In the UK early figures were estimated at over 386 and has since risen to about 1,000 according to statistics released by Minister for Health on 8th December, 20, but the increase is on such deep trajectory that cases were doubling every two to three days and the country braces for 1 million cases by the end of the month!
WHY IS NIGERIA SO MAD WITH THE UK???
Nigeria attained the prestigious status of sovereignty as a Republic on 1st October, 1963; politically discarded all vestiges of British colonialism and imperialism, replaced the Queen of England with an indigene as of Head of State and adopted a quasi parliamentary/presidential system of government.
However they failed to establish concrete economic foundation for industry, manufacturing, SMSEs etc, that would provide gainful employment for all able-bodied and school leavers at all levels as necessary foundation for human development and an enduring platform for foreign exchange earnings through massive exports of finished/refined products!
The founding fathers were probably taught by their colonial masters that the art of BORROWING to actualize set developmental goals was a universal norm which no nation could afford to shun and also an indispensible tool for “sound economic development and growth” – a doctrine which dominated consecutive administrations from Sir. Tafawa Balewa to the current President Muhammadu Buhari who is the most obsessive BORROWER of them all!
The colonial masters must have also told them that the richest country in the world [the United States of America], also borrows from the World Bank Group and advised that borrowed money must be invested in CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT!
THE BUHARI CHANGE ERA!
President Buhari’s desperate bid to occupy the number one seat paid off in 2015; but in his SIX years of governance as at June 2021, Nigeria - through his mastery in DEBT NEGOTIATION - is indebted to almost all developed countries, the United States, China, Canada, UAE, Britain, Japan, France, India, Germany, Saudi Arabia; not excluding top international financial institutions, - the World Bank Group, Islamic Development Bank, Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa, African Development Bank (AfDB), Exim Bank of China, etc, to the tune of USD$ 17billion dollars and Nigerians are still counting because of the avowed passion of the President to continue to borrow more funds for infrastructure until he departs office!
BUHARI AND NOT NIGERIANS IS THE SHAMELESS BEGGAR!
President Buhari had hardly assumed office in 2015 when he embarked on a trip to China to learn from President Xi Jinping (so Nigerians believed), how to take the most-populated African country out of POVERTY once and for all like China did to become the SECOND LARGEST ECONOMY AFTER THE UNITED STATES, but they were all wrong!
The man went cap in hand to BEG for money and between 2015 and 2021, had borrowed USD$ 3.40billion dollars or NGN1.3trillion naira from the most-populous country of more than 1.4 billion people in the world according to Nigeria’s Debt Management Office! (DMO).
Although China’s concessional (20-year-tenor) loans with 2.5% interest and 7-year moratorium (grace period), are tied to some 11 projects- majorly in the Nigerian Railway, the South East Second Niger Bridge and rehabilitation/upgrading of some road projects in the North Central, most part is diverted to payment of salaries/allowances/excesses of the executive, legislative, judiciary and the MDAs – who are less than 2 million of Nigeria’s population!
In addition to the economic quagmire, NOT ONE DOLLAR of accumulated loans has been paid back but regularly SERVICED, while more loans were sought to increase debt profile! According to the Federal Minister of Finance, the sum of NGN2.89 trillion, 74% of Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), was spent between January and August 2021, a tradition common to all annual budgets!
IS THIS NOT A NEW WAVE OF AFRICA’S ECONOMIC COLONIZATION?
The countries that kept lending huge funds to support phantom “infrastructural development” in the Nigeria do so for very favorable reasons which are contained in the CONTRACTS which allow LENDER NATIONS to take over contractual asset of the DEBTOR until all borrowed funds and interests were completely paid!
PROPHECY: Nigeria will NEVER BE RE-COLONIZED because all current corrupt leadership who are RICHER THAN NIGERIA [through institutional manipulation of THE OIL WEALTH in favor of a few], are going to be STRIPPED OF ALL THE ILL-GOTTEN MONIES starched in PANAMA, PANDORA HAVENS IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2022!
***THE PROCESS OF SHUTTING DOWN THE 9TH AND LAST NIGERIAN SENATE WILL COMMENCE IN EARNEST EARLY IN THE YEAR AND PRESIDENT BUHARI WILL HAVE NO OPTION THAN TO SUCCUMB TO A POPULAR REFERENDUM THAT WILL ALSO TAKE CARE OF OTHER RESTRUCTURING AGITATIONS BEGINNING WITH DEVOLUTION OF POWER FROM THE FEDERAL TO THE FEDERATING STATE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF STATE POLICE!
***Nigeria will be salvaged by DIVINELY APPOINTED MANAGERS from among the RIGHTEOUS MASSES who will boldly step out to CHANGE THE NEGATIVE DESTINY OF POVERTY TO AFFLUENCE!
*** FURTHER BORROWING WILL SEIZE FROM THE YEAR 2022 DUE TO PRESSURE BY NEW LEADERS ON INTERNATIONAL BODIES TO BLACKLIST NIGERIA!
***LEGAL PROSECUTION OF MANY LOOTERS OF THE NIGERIA TREASURY WILL BE FAST-TRACKED BY LAW-ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WHO WILL SECURE POSITIVE JUDGMENTS THAT WILL SEND THE CULPRITS TO JAIL!
***FEAR WILL GRIP ALL PILFERERS IN THE MDAs, WHO HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR ANNUAL BUDGET PADDING AS A SPIRIT OF ANTAGONISM WILL FORCE THEM TO EXPOSE THEM AND THEIR CRIMES!
Nigeria will rise again from the ASHES before the 2023 General Elections!
God will bring down the PROUD OLIGARCHY and raise a RIGHTEOUS GENERATION UNTO HIMSELF! ‘’Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people’’. (Prov. 14:34).
