ZION B-BC NEWSLETTER.
(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. 11.NO 445. 20thFeburary, 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!
ADULTERATED PETROL IS BUHARI’S FAREWELL GIFT TO TALAKAWAS!
IT seems that Nigerians have come to terms with the extravagant lifestyle attached to Presidential system of government even at very austere periods when the economy is on the downward trend!
President Buhari claimed in 2015 that he inherited an almost empty treasury yet he was able to raise large sums of money for him and large entourage to commence international journeys which have continued unabated in his two-term engagement of executive impunity!
At the last count, the retired Major General had travelled overseas for about 54 times in seven years with large entourage of ministers, special advisers, politicians, governors and business men!
And yet Nigeria is classified as the poverty capital of the World! How can a poor country afford to spend millions of millions of USD$ dollars on foreign trips on each occasion? How can a president continue to embark on foreign trips to go and beg for money in order to take care of infrastructures in his own country even though he has enough natural resources which remain un- harnessed? Yes Nigeria is a peculiar Nation! The reason for this misbehavior of Nigerian presidents is not far-fetched because they were military people who decided to usurp democratic powers having perfected Corruption of the economy through martial laws during their 30 years of military aberration!
It was ex-president Obasanjo who was tagged as an executive globetrotter of Africa during his eight years and he spent millions running to billions of US$ dollars globetrotting the world with the retinue of large delegations at the expense of the poor masses!
The Military never gave account of the 30 years junta to anyone till date when the change of baton occurred between soldier and soldier!
Presently another ex-military general who is the incumbent president of democratic Nigeria now retired major general Muhammadu Buhari has followed suit of his predecessor General Obasanjo and in spite of the fact that the Omicron virus of Covid 19, is still very much around the globe this president is still travelling across the world under one guise or the other!
On the one hand the government of President Buhari will tell the world that the country needed a lot of foreign funds to build up infrastructures yet it is an open secret that Nigeria’s total foreign debt portfolio borrowed by his administration between 2016 and 2021 have been majorly spent on frivolous and unexecuted contracts whereas large chunks of the foreign debt totaling NGN13.8 trillion naira had been spent on salaries allowances and all manner of emoluments government officials of the executive legislative and judiciary.
President Buhari just returned Saturday 19th February, 2022, from Belgium where he attended the EU-AU Summit on Continental cooperation on all sectors of the economy financing for sustainable and inclusive growth, energy transition, climate change, etc, and this trip according to observers is about the 54th international journey made by this President and tons of the members of his kitchen cabinet!
But to the downtrodden masses he gave the Greek Gift of IMPORTED ADULTERATED PETROL WHICH DAMAGED ALL AUTOMOBILES, MOTOR CYCLES, GENERATING MACHINERIES ETC, AND TOOK AWAY THEIR ENTIRE MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD!
Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2019 till date the World Health Organization (WHO), disclosed that at least 202 countries have been identified as being affected with the scourge yet the President of Nigeria was not discourage and has been able to travel to about one fourth portion of world countries spending borrowed money to carry out untenable economic agenda! However, in spite of the fact that he had travelled to virtually all the major countries of the world, there is exceeding INSECURITY, exceeding poverty and squalor among the TALAKAWAS domicile in the land of Nigeria!
FOREIGN COUNTRIES ARE NOT FATHER CHRISTMAS!
We still wonder why Nigeria has not been blacklisted by foreign countries from which it has borrowed so much money if they did not have hidden agenda!
There was a time when political watchers said that Nigeria was very close to recolonization by world powers especially China which had dominated Africa with so much Aids through Road/Rail infrastructures and massive exportation of all its manufactured products into the African market, especially Nigeria which has refused to harness it's natural resources.
We argued that neither China nor any other developed countries of the world had any intention of recolonization in Africa or elsewhere but then attention was drawn to the fact that all the contracts that were signed by African governments including Nigeria have clauses which indicate that once there was a default of agreement in the contract the contractor will take over such infrastructure built with borrowed money and solely run such enterprise until all borrowed money are recovered and that put paid to further argument on the matter because if all foreign countries take over all infrastructures in any Third World country in this 21st Century then it is clear that Africa will go under the direct governance of NEO-COLONIALIST POWERS!
The question is, have all past and present Nigerian leaders – especially the incumbent who have supposedly borrowed money to build the nation’s infrastructures ever thought of posterity? Have they ever cared to reflect how such heavy amounts of debts will be repaid? Have they ever thought of the Youths who will eventually take up the mantle of leadership paused to consider that excessive borrowing of the present would tantamount to future delay in institutional development of the country?
NIGERIAN LEADERS SHOULD NOT HAVE INDULGED IN BEGGING FOR FOREIGN LOANS!
Imagine if all 36 State Governments of Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory could turn attention to solid mineral deposits in their various locations, harness and develop them into very useful products of international standard, their Internal Generated Revenues, (IGRs) will rise astronomically and there would be no need for every Governor to always rush cap-in-hand every month to Abuja to collect Crude Oil revenue allocation from the Treasury Single Account (TSA)!
It is common knowledge that conservative Nigerian governments do not lay emphasis on Human Capital Development but on Human Idolizing: they prefer to eulogize one President after the other and continue to sing praises of whatever he had done with the common patrimony instead of bringing him to accountability so that people will see very clearly whether he was self-serving or patriotic!
Lip service has always been paid to diversification from crude oil - the only foreign-exchange-earner product to Agriculture by conservative governments and strategic institutional decay of all States infrastructures have become visibly manifest due to glaring corruption in the system!
It is therefore incumbent that all right-thinking Nigerians should join hands to campaign for total removal of the corruption-ridden and very wasteful Presidential system of government in Nigeria and the installation of a Unicameral Parliamentary system of government which will produce a Prime Minister and diligent Legislators from all over the Constituencies to take care of the business of governance in the country from 2023 onward!
The movement for that CHANGE begins now and nobody should shy away because begging/borrowing is anathema to any country and to all people!.
What can a beggar nation do without support from other nations? Nigeria as a Third World nation chose to live large as a FIRST WORLD nation like UNITED STATES OF AMERICA without any form of institutional structures on ground and totally neglected human capital development!
CAN FAKE NIGERIAN POLITICIANS BUILD SOMETHING ON NOTHING?
But the incumbent president says he will continue to borrow until he leaves office in less than 1 year!
Beggar nations can only bark they cannot bite. Nigeria can be likened in this discourse to a beggar nation! Beggars have hands but will never work with them!
They have eyes but never see with them; ears but can never hear; nose but can never smell! A beggar is a slave and the head of a beggar nation is the chief slave who goes about shamelessly to beg for monies he could have raised from within his own domain.
Beggars cannot smell the abundance of natural mineral resources buried in their soil! Beggar prefers to export his raw materials: cocoa beans, groundnuts millets, etc, to refine them at exorbitant costs overseas in foreign countries and then import them back for sale instead carrying out all those processes by himself and making 100 per cent gains!
It is in Nigeria that refined petroleum products are subsidized with trillions of naira every year and instead of government to build new REFINERIES, keeps REFURBISHING old ones as corruption thrives on in a free-for-all environment!
JUDGMENT IS AT THE DOOR!
The Lord who searches the reins and hearts will give unto every one of you according to your works. AMEN!
[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]
