STEALING IS NOT REGARDED AS CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA’S PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM!

#CAMPAIGN FOR REFERENDUM AND NOT VIOLENT AGITATIONS! [NO.38]. –DR. DAVID OLUFON.  24th September, 2022.

STEALING IS NOT REGARDED AS CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA’S PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM!

A former Peoples Democratic Party President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan once said that's stealing should not be regarded as corruption!

His administration was at the peak of massive corruption in every sector of the economy and to defend criticisms from the opposition and all patriotic and well-meaning Nigerians he dismissed the criminal issue of stealing with a wave of the hand!

He left office in 2015 and bequeathed the obnoxious criminal act of corruption to a retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari who in his manifesto promised to eradicate corruption and ensure probity in Government and the Society.

 Buhari has spent almost eight years in office and Nigerians have been worse for it because CORRUPTION has become endemic to unimaginable proportion that when compared with the PDP era is incomprehensible in presentation, magnitude and devastation!

 Beginning with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Secretary to Government, Babachir Lawal, who in March 2016 increased the tempo: CORRUPTION reared its ugly head when he engaged his private companies to cut grasses  which he fraudulently contracted through the Federal Government for NGN500 million naira in terrorist-devastated Borno State! 

And from then onwards list of corruption in government among the Executive, Civil Servants from Presidency to the State level, the Legislature, the Judiciary and Local Government Areas (LGAs), had been an endless Saga!

Nigerians cannot easily forget the exposure of corruption by Honourable Abdulmumin Jibrin who was the Chairman House Committee on Finance who also in 2016 analysed in details how annual budgets were padded (ie. increased or inflated), to the advantage of all Principal Officers who collected billions of illicit Naira regularly outside of their official salaries and allowances!

When both Chambers of the National  Assembly were done through paddings and oversight functions then the Executive manned by ministers begin to inflate contracts of their various Ministries at the ILLEGAL WEDNESDAYS FEDERAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEETINGS and ended up draining the entire Treasury of the nation at both Federal and State Governments levels only to later go cap-in-hand a-borrowing from FOREIGN COUNTRIES!

 It should also be remembered that the current government paid  only lip service to Internally Generated Revenues (IGRs), which should normally represent a country’s financial economic foundation! 

The highest IGR for Nigeria at the federal level was in 2021. The country was able to garner a sum of ₦1.2 trillion naira which was neither sufficient to service it’s numerous and humongous debts nor embark on any meaningful Capital Project!

LATEST ACTS OF CORRUPTION OF THE INGLORIOUS PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA!

(Government Whistle-Blower -ICPC Uncovers ₦400billion Budget Padding And ₦50billion Ghost Workers’ Salaries!)

On Thursday  15th September 2022, Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission disclosed that the 2021 and 2022 Federal Government Budgets were duplicated with projects worth ₦400 billion Naira by Ministries departments and Agencies (MDAs).

The Chairman of ICPC said that ₦300 billion Naira would have been wasted by Federal Government if all duplicated project inserted into the 2021 budget and ₦100 billion for the same purpose in the current fiscal year were not tracked and  intercepted by his agency.

 He also said that duplicated and fictitious projects were the order of the day among the civil servants and this criminal activities were always carried out with impunity.

 

The ICPC Chairman Professor Bolaji Owasanoye exposed the act of corruption during an interactive session with the Senate Committee on Finance in preparation for the 2023 Budget at the National assembly without naming the agencies involved yet. 

However it is reported that the Ministry of Labour had commenced investigations concerning the very heavy allegations by ICPC but this in not the first time such  allegations were made and were swept under the CARPET!

IT'S ONLY IN A PRESIDENTIAL COUNTRY LIKE IN NIGERIA THAT THIS KIND OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES ARE COMMITTED AND GO UNPUNISHED!

A PRIME MINISTER IS WHOM NIGERIA NEEDS IN 2023 NOT ANOTHER VERY ÇORRUPT PRESIDENCY!

JOIN THE CAMPAIGN FOR  REFERENDUM AND NOT VIOLENT AGITATIONS TO GET THE BILL FOR A BRAND NEW PARLIAMENTARY UNICAMERAL CONSTITUTION INTO THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY NOW FOR APPROVAL!

NIGERIA'S DEBT REPAYMENT MUST BEGIN WITH THE EIGHT-YEAR ACCUMULATED ESTACODES OF BUHARI AND HIS CABINET!

ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 11.NO 476. 25th September 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

NIGERIA'S DEBT REPAYMENT MUST BEGIN WITH THE EIGHT-YEAR ACCUMULATED ESTACODES OF BUHARI AND HIS CABINET!

It had become a permanent culture of civil servants in all the former British Colonies all over the world - Nigeria not excluded - to always collect foreign tour allowances known as ESTACODES which they cleverly accumulate in secret accounts in anticipation of comfort in retirement!

 The out-going President, retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari never missed any opportunity to travel out of Nigeria under the guise of official duties which he could normally delegate his Vice President or ministers to attend BUT foreign journeys attract the estacode (always paid in foreign currencies – mostly US Dollars), “legitimate” official allowances that could not be alluded as corruption)? 

The President and his Vice also enjoy 18 jumbo allowances outside of estacodes!

AND THE MILITARY PRESIDENT ALWAYS TRAVELED WITH AN ENTOURAGE OF OFFICIALS NOT LESS THAN 30 TO 40 AT ANY GIVEN FOREIGN JOURNEY!

Estacode, a nomenclature for monetary travel allowance in Nigeria now turned into a colonial heritage and still in practice among Federal, States civil servants, politicians, diplomatic staff etc on foreign official assignments was legitimate during the colonial era; are they still legitimate now?

Nigeria's debt profile which is far above ₦ 40 trillion naira as at Q3, 2022, accumulated through such frivolous journeys by Buhari his entire official and kitchen cabinets who cared less whether the less privileged lived or died!

Between 2015 and 2021 the retired general traveled outside of the country for 52 times and had expended approximately over ₦4 billion naira in junketing across 30 countries in four continents including Africa! And in 2022, the UNGA 77 trip was his 13th in the budget year in which it is estimated he would spend NGN1.5billion, NGN200 less than the NGN 1.7billion budgeted for his international journeys in 2021.

According the International Centre for Investigative Reporting (ICIR), estacodes released to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), under President Buhari’s watch from 2015 to 2021 stood at over ₦3.77 billion naira!

ICIR CORROBORATED BY CURRENCY OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT OF THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA ( CBN)!

In its annual report released Thursday 4th November 2021 it was stated that a total amount of USD 3.95 billion was procured in 2019 a loan to fund estacode personal travel allowances to MDS and also to fund Bureau de Change operations. 

Also there were allegations of gross abuses in the forms of over-bloated, forged, improvised, nonexistent but fake journeys for purpose of fraudulently collecting estacode allowances during foreign travels in both the Public and the Civil Service circles!

To date no public servant or politician has been brought to justice and the racket has continued unabated with impunity!

From all indications the official fraud is enjoying Government approval otherwise Buhari’s Presidency would not have approved a comprehensive review of the Financial Regulations in respect of the various allowances being enjoyed by personnel of MDAs including the estacode!

 

QUESTIONS: 

1) Was the Committee set up by the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF), in November 2021, to consider, review and recommend appropriate Duty Tour, Estacode, Repatriation and Overtime Allowances and also consider, review and recommend appropriate Imprest amount for relevant public servants and political office holders – A RUSE OR A SCAM? 

2) What social economic assistance have the poor Nigerian masses benefited from buhari’s foreign trips these past eight years? Instead insecurity is working on his head in all the 774 local government areas of Nigeria and the people are crying to a president who is insensitive to their plight.

BUHARI BEGS FOR FOREIGN DEBT FORGIVENESS FOR NIGERIA AND OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRIES AT UNGA 77!

Major General Muhammadu Buhari attended recent 77th United Nations general assembly in New York and pleaded that unsustainable external debt service suspension as well as outright cancellation should be considered 4 countries facing fiscal and liquidity challenges. 

In his words: “Indeed the multi-faceted challenges facing most developed countries have placed a debilitating chokehold on their fiscal space. 

“This equally calls for the need to address the burden of unsustainable external debt by a global commitment to the expansion and extension of the Service Suspension Initiative to countries facing fiscal and liquidity challenges as well as outright cancellation for countries facing the most severe challenges.”

Earlier in his speech Major General President Muhammadu Buhari harped on the negative global effects of Covid 19 which constituted a threat that could not be contained within national borders and how States tried to meet and mitigate the challenge.

He also touched on the adverse effects of CLIMATE CHANGE which “fuels conflicts and complicates FOOD SECURITY” and claimed that in 2021 his administration adopted a national climate change strategy which aimed to deliver climate change mitigation in a sustainable manner. 

He believed that Africa and other  developing Nations produce only a small proportion of greenhouse gas emissions compared to industrial economies yet Africa was hardest hit by the consequences of climate change through sustained droughts in Somalia and floods of unprecedented  severity in Pakistan!

The President believed that the rocketing energy cost worldwide were in part the product of conflict and supply disruptions to Europe and the Americas and suggested that the World Body in collaboration with the upcoming COP 27 would help to galvanize the political will required to drive action towards the fulfillment of the various existing climate changing initiatives. 

WHEN DOES THE OLD GENERAL EXPECT THE DEBT CANCELLATION OF OVER NGN40 TRILLION NAIRA ACCRUED BY NIGERIA?

The Nigerian President no doubt made a poor presentation of the DEBT CANCELLATION BRIEF at UNGA 77 because he addressed the wrong gathering! 

He made a laughing stock of himself and his entourage because even the WORLD BANK, CHINA, THE UNITED STATES Banking Sector etc, were aware of large-scale corruption with official impunity among the three tiers of government in Nigeria and also prodigality with which the politicians who have cornered ANNUAL BUDGETS and spend all proceeds of the crude oil among themselves and their cronies!

Civil Service personnel and the entire Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), happen to be a FORCE to be reckoned with in the looting of the “TREASURY SINGLE ACCOUNT, (TSA) EXCESS CRUDE, SOVEREIGN WEALTH, SERVICE WIDE VOTE ACCOUNTS – all of which at Ground Zero!

Nigerians have been shamelessly told by the Minister for Finance and National Development that monies would be sought to fund the 2023 Budget Estimates of NGN 19.76 trillion in which NO FRESH CAPITAL PROJECT would be entertained!

OUR VERDICT:

President Buhari's bank accounts and those of his official/kitchen cabinets, the Aso Rock Cabal, all members of his close/extended family, Special Advisers and all the All Progressives Congress APC politicians who have brought the Nigerian economy to its knees through massive corruption SHOULD BE FROZEN without delay by the EFCC FOR ALL ESTACODES TO BE RECOVERED with other illicit funds to be put together to begin the process of DEBT SERVICING/REPAYMENT. 

He MUST not retire to Daura with those Estacodes while the TALAKAWAS suffering Nigerians masses, die in abject poverty.

SWIM OR SINK - YOU MUST TAKE OVER IN 2023!( LETTER TO NIGERIAN YOUTHS.)

ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

Looking at Nigeria's Political System from a Godly Perspective.

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 11.NO 475. 18th September 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

SWIM OR SINK - YOU MUST TAKE OVER IN 2023!

( LETTER TO NIGERIAN YOUTHS.)

For the umpteenth time WE make bold to prophesy to literate, cerebral and well-educated Nigerian Youths that 2023 is the appointed year for one of you to become PRIME MINISTER of Federal Republic of Nigeria!

All those who are parading themselves right now as presidential candidates of the so-called three major parties APC PDP and LABOUR are part and parcel of the whole group which had collectively destroyed the nation’s economy in 62 years of military and civilian occupation!

The offensive nomenclature of “Poverty Capital of the World” is stuck on the nation as LEACH because they have corruptly looted all monies, all mineral resources, all the crude oil accruals and in order to cover their tracks have institutionally created terrorism, banditry and all manner of crimes and criminalities to subject the innocent citizens to a sustained and continuous mental dislocation!

Had the murderous attacks been frequently unleashed on the doorsteps, homes and properties of all those squandrels at the helm of affairs of this country the corresponding purge would have produced very patriotic, righteous, thoroughbred, and god-fearing citizens into governance!

 

 A perusal of the profiles of the 18 political parties candidates gunning for the presidential seat show very clearly that they are the same very corrupt old foxes who are shameless re-packaging their dirty resumes. 

APC Presidential candidate Ahmed Tinubu has not been able to defend all the accusations in respect of the alleged illicit wealth that accrued to him over the years and also his involvement in some drug activities while in the United States.

The same goes for PDP Presidential Candidate Atiku Abubakar who has also amassed so much wealth that he can be said to be richer than Nigeria as a nation because he collects daily Port taxes on behalf of the Federal Government through camaraderie with Major General Muhammadu Buhari!

OPEN WINDOW FOR YOUTH GOVERNANCE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL!

Now that a providential open window is available to the youths of this nation, patriotic Nigerians would expect that they will grab the opportunity with both hands BUT in reality most of them are pre-occupied with grabbing CRUMBS from the tables of those corrupt politicians!

THEY have thrown all their credentials and knowledge into the gutters and opted to become special advisers to robbers and criminals in government BUT God will not forgive disobedient Nigerian Youths He Had specifically CHOSEN if they failed to utilise the golden opportunity !

WHAT IS THE PROPHETIC OPEN WINDOW FOR NIGERIAN YOUTHS IN THE COMING ELECTION?

The open window is the PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT which the Youths in unity can make happen now if they close ranks and sponsor (1) The Bill for a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION which can be put together within one MONTH (30 CONSECUTIVE DAYS) by legal luminaries; (2) Present the document before the National Assembly which must go through all stages of reading and passed in ONE DAY! (The 8th National Assembly passed about 26 Bills in one day towards the end of its tenure); (3) Communicate the NEW BILL to Mr. President who MUST APPEND HIS SIGNATURE ON PRESENTATION and (4) The New Constitution be passed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), for the conduct of the 2023 General Elections. (5) All of above MUST be executed with precision from the day of resumption of the NASS from annual vacation on 20th September, 2022.

Retired major General Abdusalam Abubakar produced the1999 Nigerian Constitution within FIVE MONTHS and inspite of its numerous faults has been in use for almost 22 years! The UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION can also be produced in like manner!

The new constitution will provide for REFERENDUM to take care of contentious issues and also provide for INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY. 

Majority of very intellectual and cerebral youths in Nigeria today cannot afford to pay NGN100 million as candidacy/nomination fees which was a deliberate obstacle to disenfranchise them from ever becoming Nigeria’s President at anytime until they became very old?

Big and powerful Nations of the world, the United States Great Britain, Germany, China etc, conduct elections regularly without rancour without hues and cries, without muders and assassinations and without crisis because they have great institutions that could neither be corrupted nor compromised from one generation to another!

It was high time for Nigerian Youths to close ranks now and come out as INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES to slug it out with this money bags who are at the point of departure BUT clandestinely bent on destroying what was left of the freaky structure of the economy through continuous borrowing and stealing! 

The Nigeria Bureau of Statistics (NBS), released the following statistics in this Third Quarter (Q3) in respect of food inflation which has risen to all high 20.8%, exchange rate which has gone haywire to over NGN 700 naira to USD$1 dollar!

 Federal Government shamelessly say that “NNPCL loses USD$700 million monthly to Crude Oil Theft  at the rate of 470,000 stolen barrels per day under the watchful eyes of the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mr President himself and nobody is brought to account, nobody is arrested, nobody is prosecuted in court! 

It is a free-for-all looting, courtesy of the Cabal in charge of President Buhari’s government!

And this President exhibited a stubborn courage to tell Nigerians during his recent visit to IMO STATE that his government was doing well!

NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS have been home for almost one academic year now because their lecturers were yet to come into amicable agreement in respect of their demands from the Federal Government!

And Electricity Workers are threatening again to shutdown the National grid and put the nation into darkness!

The Internally Displaced Persons (IDP), camps have become some sort of mecca in 13 unbroken years of terrorism as all and sundry flock to collect the regular Federal, States and NGOs donations of foods, clothings, monies etc. while the women get pregnant round the clock!

THE FRAUDULENT PETROLEUM SUBSIDY PAYMENT WAS STILL CAPTURED IN THE APPROVED 2022 BUDGET!

A whooping sum of $6.2 billion has been disbursed as Petroleum Subsidy in the First quarter of the approved 2022 Budget expenses currently undergoing execution by the Executive!

According to the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI), Nigeria had spent NGN13.7 trillion naira the equivalent of USD$374 .386 billion dollars on petrol subsidy payments from 2005 22020!

 

The disclosure was made before the House of Representatives Ad- hoc Committee investigating the petrol subsidy regime from 2017 to 2022.

The agency also said subsidy will continue to suffocate this economy and will not allow it to breathe because it is a payment that must be made and then we do not also think that those expected to benefit are the beneficiaries.

According to NEITI subsidy payments in 2005 were NGN 351 billion naira or USD2.66 billion dollars; N219.72 billion naira or $1.70billion dollars in 2006; N236.64 billion naira or $ 1.89 billion dollars, 2007; N360 18 billion naira or $3.03 billion dollars, 2008; N198.11 billion naira or $1.60 billion dollars, 2009; and N416 .45 billion naira or $2.76 billion dollars, 2010.

In 2011, the payment was N1.9 trillion or $12.18 billion; N690 billion or $4.34 billion in 2012; N495 billion or $3.11billion 2013; N482 billion or $2.92 billion 2014; N316.70 billion or $1.62 billion 2015; N99 billion or $0.39 billion 2016; N141.63 billion or $0.44 million 2017; N722.30 billion or $2.36 billion 2018; N578.07 billion or $1.88 billion 2019 and N134 billion or $0.37 billion in 2020.

From the NEITI Report, it is very glaring that the Executive under the Watch of the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, the Legislature, NNPCL, the Nigerian OIL BILLIONAIRES and their FOREIGN COLLABORATORS ARE ALL COMPLICIT IN THE HUMONGOUS FRAUD!

QUESTION: Are you going to remain nonchalant when your future is at STAKE? There is virtually nothing to inherit from the outgoing administration of the old General other than DEBTS which even your own children and grandchildren may not be able to repay!

DO YOU want your country to become a present day Somalia or Afghanistan or a complete Banana Republic? THE BALL IS IN YOUR COURT NOW! 

Our collective prayer is that you will rise from your SLUMBER, organise yourselves as you did during the 20th October 2020 #ENDSARS PROTESTS which was very articulate, very cerebral, well-organized and well-conducted.

Nigerians don’t expect you on the streets – never again! Get the Bill for a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION and take over in 2023 through your favourite Candidate!

You have the majority number and We will all pray that you rise to the occasion and POSTERITY will remember you as gallant youths who saved NIGERIA FROM FALLING OFF THE PRECIPICE!

NIGERIA IS THE BASTARD CHILD OF GREAT BRITAIN!

ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

Looking at Nigeria's Political System From a Godly Perspective.

 

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 11.NO 474. 11th September 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

NIGERIA IS THE BASTARD CHILD OF GREAT BRITAIN!

Who would have thought that Great Britain – a politically, economically and security-stable nation gave birth to Nigeria 108 years ago?

In all the centuries of the parliamentary system of government in Britain - which has been in existence as far back as 1056 AD, political administration had always been smooth sailing that unlike politics of bitterness, rioting and bloodshed which had been Nigeria’s trade mark from time immemorial!

Some historians had always blamed Nigeria’s consecutive, incongruous, brutish, riotous, uncivilized and bloody political elections on the British Colonial Masters who deliberately handed over the Federal Government at Independence in 1960 to the under-developed and semi-literate Northern Protectorate!

Much as that assertion may be arguable, the British government requited to Nigeria a Parliamentary System of government which was and still is better than the Presidential System which has virtually dominated administration of  the nation in 62 years as an independent  country! 

Parliamentary System of government is cost-effective and masses-friendly due to the participatory opportunities open to citizens from the Wards, Counties, Local Government Areas and up to the Central Government for patriotic service to their country!

Who would have thought that the last few months before September 5, 2022, when the change of baton was concluded between Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, that an election at that topmost hierarchy of government would be so incontroversial rancour-free and very democratic in nature and essence?

DOUBLE CELEBRATION OF ICONIC DEMOCRACY THE BY BRITISH EMPIRE.

It’s double celebration for the United Kingdom which was simultaneously blessed with brand new King and Prime Minister all in the month of September 5th-11th!

The unbroken umbilical cord between the United Kingdom and Nigeria cannot be wished away but will still wax stronger with the ascension to the throne of King  Charles III, who is Nigeria-friendly and must now broker a FRESH FILIAL ARRANGEMENT to take the black African country out of its path is SELF-DESTRUCTION!

SHAMELESSLY NIGERIA CANNOT SOLVE IT'S PERENNIAL, POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND INSECURITY PROBLEMS WITHOUT RUNNING TO LONDON FOR COUNSEL INTERVENTION OR RESOLUTION!

Whenever there occurred any form of internal crisis, dubious Nigerian leaders would jet overseas to seek foreign solutions to resolve local issues or contentions!

And whereas, the seemingly unstoppable spate of criminal calamities  forced on innocent Nigerians through terrorism, banditries, kidnappings, arsons, bombings etc, leading to public and institutional insecurity of lives and properties had been rightly traced to endemic CORRUPTION well grounded in the administration of the economy BUT WHICH ARE NON-EXISTENT IN BRITAIN!

Historically Nigeria had been a  Commonwealth Colony since the year 1861 but it was not until after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria and the Protectorate of Northern Nigeria that formal government by the British began to take shape and political administration formalized. 

Within a space of 39 years of servitude to the Colonial masters, (1914-1953) political awareness among stakeholders of the Colony of Nigeria began to gain momentum and the need for actualizing an Independent State through dialogue and peaceful conversations dominated the center stage among local politicians.

As fruitful official conversations progressed both in London and Lagos, names of delegates slated to attend the October 1953 London Constitutional Conference comprising of representatives of the various political genres; (Action Group (AG), National Council for Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), Northern Elements Progressive Union (NEPU), Nation of Cameroons  and National Independence Party (NIP), accompanied by Delegates were forwarded well in advance to the British Government to facilitate all necessary preparations.

EXTRACTS FROM THE UK PARLIAMENT HANSARD ON THE LONDON AND LAGOS CONFERENCE ON THE NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION, 21ST OCTOBER 1953:

UK Secretary of State for the Colonies Mr Oliver Lyttelton, was requested to make statements regarding the conclusions reached on the future Constitutions of Northern Rhodesia and Nigeria during his visits to those territories. And also whether he would make a statement on a recent Conference held in Nigeria. 

He answered as follows “The Lagos conference continued and completed the work of the conference held in London last summer. I am glad to be able to inform the House that it was an unqualified success. 

“All the conclusions which were reached at Lagos were arrived at by general agreement. The fears which had been expressed in some quarters that my decision at the London conference to make Lagos, a Federal Territory would make this impossible have proved unfounded. 

“I welcome this opportunity of paying tribute to the spirit of goodwill in which all the delegations approached the task. All the delegations showed a remarkable insight into the niceties of Constitutional checks and balances and displayed a willingness to sink sectional interest for the common good.

“The work involved Is massive but I hope they will be ready in about six months time. The revised constitution will be reviewed again at a further conference of similar composition to be held not later than August 1956 when any question relating to the constitution will be open for discussion.

 “The new arrangement under which the Southern Cameroons will cease to be part of the Eastern Region but will continue to be administered as part of Nigeria, as quasi Federal Territory was worked out in agreement with the representatives of the Southern Cameroons. 

It is welcome to them and was endorsed by other Nigerian delegations. The insulation from politics of the Judiciary, the Police and the Public Service has been secured with general approval.

“The decisions taken in London and confirmed at Lagos to regionalise the Public Service and the Judiciary have been criticized on grounds of expense and administrative inconvenience. 

“I would however remind the House that even the smallest of the three regions in Nigeria with a population of 6.360,000 million is - with the exception of Tanganyika - bigger than any other British Colonial Territory anywhere else in the world.

NIGERIA HAD FOUR PRE-AND-FIVE POST-INDEPENDENCE CONSTITUTIONS!

Sir Arthur Lyttelton Constitution of 1954 was the last of the pre-independence documents which existed for six years and ushered peaceful transition through the first Independence Constitution of 1960 for Nigeria.

QUESTION: Could it be said that Nigeria got its Independence on a “PLATTER OF GOLD” and as such did not cherish it’s own worth? And therefore like the PRODIGAL SON, went abroad to squander all the abundant riches of the greatly-endowed nation with Foreign-Exchange Earner Crude Oil and over 35 identified natural resources buried in the belly of the helpless Giant Nation!

Current Nigerian leaders should bury their heads in shame for bringing the Giant of Africa into so much disrepute among the comity of Nations. 

They must not be allowed to go scot-free with all the stolen wealth of this nation in their possession! 

Nigerian Whistleblowers MUST move into action now and expose this corrupt leaders before they can cover up their dirty Deals!

NIGERIA SHOULD FOLLOW GREAT BRITAIN'S FOOTSTEPS IN ORDER TO CHANGE ITS PRESENT IGNOMINABLE IDENTITY!

FUGITIVE EX-MILITANTCOMMANDER TOMPOLO BAGS FOUR BILLION-NAIRA MONTHLY OIL PIPELINE CONTRACT!

#CAMPAIGN FOR REFERENDUM AND NOT VIOLENT AGITATIONS! [NO.35]. –DR. DAVID OLUFON.  2nd September, 2022.

FUGITIVE EX-MILITANTCOMMANDER TOMPOLO BAGS FOUR BILLION-NAIRA MONTHLY OIL PIPELINE CONTRACT!

Having been “cleared” of all charges of theft and money laundering by the Buhari-led APC Government, Ex-Niger Delta militant leader, Government Oweizide Ekpemupole (aka Tompolo), has turned out to be the “ROBINHOOD” that would save for Nigeria the annual humongous trillions of naira loss due to CRUDE OIL THEFT AND OIL BUNKERING in the Niger Delta region!

For a period of six years 2016 – 2022, Tompolo who was a fugitive on the POLICE WANTED LIST disappeared completely into thin air from the Nigerian political and economic scene without a trace in spite of intensified efforts of security agents to arrest him!

However “much water has flowed under the bridge”, Tompolo got  a reprieve and suddenly re-emerged to become the beautiful bride among all the ex-militant commanders who surrendered their arms in return for a GENERAL AMNESTY PROGRAMME to the Federal Government of late President Umaru Yar ‘ Ardua on 4th October 2009, who paid them monthly allowances in billions of naira for peace to reign in the Niger Delta region!

The 1990s recorded violent resistant activities by several Niger Militant Delta armed groups of which Tompolo played leading roles and eventually became leader of the reknown Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), before the advent of the Millenia year 2000!

He championed the cause of the Niger Deltans who were abandoned and neglected by consecutive governments in spite of the degradation, devastation through exploration and exploitation of crude oil from their region without adequate compensations for the horrible damages inflicted on both farmlands and the environments!

His groups pressed home their demands that all the exploiters - the locals and the international oil companies - must be made to pay handsomely for the rehabilitation of the degraded lands of Niger Delta and environments through kidnappings of both local and expatriate oil workers and also blasting of pipelines which resulted in the loss of the lives of innocent Nigerians in the region!

WHY DID THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AWARD THE PIPELINE SURVEILLANCE CONTRACT TO TOMPOLO?

The Federal Government has said  through the Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, that Tompolo was not awarded the controversial pipeline surveillance contract in person but to the company in which he has interests and in the interest of the people of the region. 

He also explained that it was not the first time that individuals within the Niger Delta Region were awarded contracts for pipeline surveillance adding that it was the belief of the Federal Government that it was a wise and right decision to hire private contractors to man oil pipeline network nationwide. 

Tompolo was credited to be versatile in the security network of the terrain which he handled creditably in the past. Contractors were selected through a tender process for those who could carry out the assignment because government dealt with corporate entities while government security agencies would continue to play their overall constitutional roles of protection of lives and property in the country.

IT IS ONLY IN NIGERIA’S PRESIDENTIAL ALL-COMMERS  SYSTEM THAT CRIMES AND CRIMINALITIES ARE CELEBRATED WITH IMPUNITY BY GOVERNMENT! 

NIGERIA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WHERE EX-CONVICTS, CRIMINALS AND DE-RADICALIZED TERRORISTS ARE FOUND DINNING AND WINNING IN CORRIDORS OF POWER! 

IT IS ABSOLUTELY ANATHEMA! THIS KIND OF AFFRONT AGAINST HUMAN RIGHTS AND SENSIBILITIES OF THE OVER 200 MILLION NIGERIANS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN A  UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT WHERE POWER IS BROKERED BY THE PEOPLE IN A BOTTOM-TO-TOP  APPROACH!

Please join the campaign to produce a brand new UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION NOW! Nigeria needs a PRIME MINISTER in 2023 and not the ABASED AND BANKRUPT PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM! Share with your friends on the internet.

FROM GROUND ZERO TO GROUND ZERO ZERO OF THE NIGERIAN ECONOMY!

Looking at Nigeria's Political System from a Godly Perspective!

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 11.NO 473.  4th September 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

FROM GROUND ZERO TO GROUND ZERO ZERO OF THE NIGERIAN ECONOMY!

For SEVEN consecutive years retired Major General President Muhammadu Buhari and his Cabal- in-Council kept chanting a broken record that their political Party inherited a virtually empty treasury in 2015 when they took over the mantle of leadership in Nigeria!

From the biblical Book of Genesis to Revelation, the number Seven (7) symbolises the nature/state of perfection and completeness – a fact that is universally acceptable by all Faiths, races and kindred’s of the Earth.

But for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Administration, tales of woes and calamities characterized by failure in actualizing dividends of democracy through ineptitude, impunity, corruption, insecurity, bloodshed and total impoverisation of the entire population in SEVEN worst years ever witnessed in Nigeria (except for the politicians) whose salaries and allowances and larger-than-life lifestyle had never CHANGED!

THEY MANIPULATED NIGERIANS – ESPECIALLY THE YOUTHS - IN 2015 SAYS  BISHOP MATTHEW HASSAN KUKAH!

Catholic Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah of the Sokoto Diocese turned 70 years on the 31st August 2022 and made the following scathing statements on NIGERIAN POLITICS tagged” Nigeria’s Unfinished Greatness: Next Steps”, at the commissioning of KUKAH CENTRE through a panel of discussants and also in a special interview on ARISE NEWS.

1) In the seventh/eighth years, Nigeria ran a political system that is a combination of theocracy and of feudalism. It is a system that is so complex and convoluting that it cannot pass the test of democracy.

2) Since the concept of leadership is increasingly being redefined as a result of globalisation the world is no longer focusing on who your father or your mother is or what your town is. The world is now focusing on what is in your brain - your brainpower - your ability, your capacity to govern the world by sheer brain not brawn. This is also the reality of politics in Africa.

3) He said it was important for the political actors particularly the 2023 presidential candidates to listen to the young people understand their frustration and align their agenda toward assuaging their grievances because the 2015 misplaced passions have dissipated through the instrumentality of religious deceit and manipulation which was described as “jihad”!The forthright and out-spoken man of God said it was the worst type of fraud for any politician to promise undiscerning youths the establishment of either an Islamic or Christian State in Nigeria!

4) Ethnicity was the other 2015 LIE which the desperate politicians employed to further diversify the fragile tolerance and successfully pitched citizens against one another in multiple clashes that snuffed out thousands of innocent lives!

THE CLERIC AMONG OTHER THINGS ALSO SAID THAT NEW GENERATION POLITICIANS SHOULD MOVE TO THE NOOKS AND CRANNIES OF NIGERIA TO SELL THEIR CONVICTIONS BECAUSE THE ENERGY OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE AND THEIR ATTENTION TO THE COUNTRY'S ELECTION MUST BE ADDRESSED IN ORDER TO SIFT THE RIGHT CANDIDATES TO GET THE DESIRED OUTCOME.

The word perfection is nowhere found in Nigeria’s economic lexicon because President Major General Buhari was already tired and completely SPENT at resumption of office in 2015!

 Having tried on three unsuccessful times to become a democratic president of Nigeria on the fourth occasion there was no more stamina left in the septuagenarian for him to run even a Local Government Area!

He said an assumption of office and we quote him: “I wish I became Head of State when I was a Governor just a few years as a young man. Now at 72 there's a limit to what I can do.” (He had served as a Military Governor at age 33 and Head of State at 40!)

The past 7 years of Buhari's administration have been characterised by the worst kind in the breakdown of law and order, terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, assassinations, attacks on correctional facilities, police stations military formations etc, that became endemic throughout the entire Six-geo political zones of the country!

Addicted borrowings (local and foreign ), which resulted in outrageous indebtedness that may not be redeemed in two to three generations after Buhari’s departure from office!

In all of these, international assessment indexes credited the country for being the POVERTY CAPITAL of the world due to massive corruption with impunity under his watch.

In spite of the abundant natural mineral resources in all States of Nigeria and especially of CRUDE OIL which had been the MainStay of the economy, organised OIL THEFT surreptitiously organised with the official connivance of those in authority thrived without restraint!

OPEC PRODUCTION QUOTA OF 2.3 MILLION BARRELS PER DAY CANNOT BE MET!

While other oil-producing nations are enjoying a windfall through volatile escalating oil prices  - a fallout of the UKRAINE-RUSSIA CONFLICT Nigerian leaders are lamenting that the new NNPCL is only operating on paper and cannot fulfill its obligations to the Nigerian taxpayers in respect of foreign exchange earnings.!

The out-going APC administration according to the Grapevine has  plan to falsify sales figures in respect of the OIL WINDFALL in order to rubbish a true perspective of the economy!

Although oil exports account for about 80% of Nigeria's foreign exchange Revenue: assuming that Nigeria could meet its production qouta and earn between USD$100-130 dollars per barrel in the Oil Boom, the difference between its 2022 Budget Oil Price Benchmark of USD$67 dollars (over 100%), would not be sufficient to SERVICE EXISTING DEBT RUNNING NGN45 TRILLION NAIRA!

We have it on good authority that very soon both OIL THEFT and PIPELINE VANDALIZATION will fizzle into the past because the Federal Government under the Watch of President Buhari is working with local contractors in the Niger Delta Area to engage repentant militants to protect this major asset of the Nation.

We want to believe that the effort will work out without any hitch and the dent created on foreign exchange earnings will be successfully ameliorated.

QUESTION: Will the ex-militants be faithful to agreement? As it is being rumoured that THE CONTRACT WAS A PLOY TO JETTISON THE CONSTITUTIONAL 13 % DERIVATIVE FORMULA FOR OIL-PRODUCING STATES AND DEMAND FOR “DERIVATIVE FORMULA”!

BREAKING NEWS‼

VICE PRESIDENT ‘YEMI OSINBAJO HEADS NIGERIA DELEGATION TO SEEK USD$410 BILLION DOLLARS TO ACTUALIZE THE TRANSITION PLAN TO A NEW GOVERNMENT IN 2023!

As a constitutional chairman of the National economic Council (NEC) Vice President ‘Yemi Osinbajo was assigned by his principal to go a-borrowing as the head of a delegation to United States for financial support for the recently launched ENERGY IMPLEMENTATION WORKING GROUP PLAN (ETWG). 

The Vice president who had no choice collected the baton to run the BORROWERS RACE which was championed in the past Seven years by the retired General BUT WOULD HE BREAST THE TAPE?

At his whims and caprices, the Major General deprived his deputy to function as Chairman of the (NEC), BUT constituted at various times irrelevant economic groups to spite him!

It is on record that the Vice President's Economic Recovery Plan Growth (ERPG), saved the nation from an embarrassing double economic recession between Quarter 4, 2015 and Quarter 3, 2016!

The VP who has been in Washington DC since 1st September 2022, would lobby top Biden Ministers, President of the World Bank Group and his US counterpart Kamala Harris, if the Transition Plan MUST MATERIALIZE!

It’s only in Nigeria’s Military Presidential System that a government would borrow to pay salaries and allowances to the very end of its TENURE and still have the audacity to campaign for CONTINUITY!

Patriotic Nigerians MUST URGENTLY SUPPORT THE BILL FOR A BRAND NEW CONSTITUTION THAT WILL PRODUCE A PRIME MINISTER THROUGH PARTICIPATORY REPRESENTATION ON 25TH FEBRUARY 2023!

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (CAN) MUST TEAM UP WITH BOKO HARAM NEGOTIATORS NOW!

ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

Looking at Nigeria's Political System from a Godly Perspective!

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 11.NO 472.  28th August, 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (CAN) MUST TEAM UP WITH BOKO HARAM NEGOTIATORS NOW!

Boko Haram insurgency was preventable at the onset in August 2009 but bad leadership and government of the North-East Borno State Administration nurtured and festered the anti-Western Education motley Islamic group to blossom into a monstrous dimension within five years to kidnap 276 chibok girls and also to hit several soft targets in the Federal Capital Territory - seat of government!

Government Girls Secondary Boarding School, Chibok, a predominantly Christian-dominated institution was invaded on the night of 14th April, 2014, but a sitting Christian President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was unruffled and dismissed the massive abduction with a wave of hand as a political propaganda to divert attention from serious issues of government!

Early in the morning of the same day a BUS TERMINAL in the satellite part of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory called Nyanyan was also bombed by the same Boko Haram group and several souls were lost in the disaster!

The now ex-President visited the gory site, expressed condolences and flew to Kano for political jamboree of his ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

The spate of kidnappings, arsons, bombings increased by the day and months until the election year 2015 which ushered Muhammadu Buhari as new president!

Out of the 276 kidnapped Chibok girls, 57 escaped 7 were found and 103 released through sustained pressure by the BRING BACK OUR GIRLS GROUP (of both Muslim and Christian Faith), and efforts of the Federal Government Security architecture under Major General President Muhammadu Buhari’s watch but 109 are still missing!

THE ADVENT OF NEGOTIATORS!

Prominent among the emerging terrorists negotiators is an Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, believed to be a former Nigerian Army Captain, who has brokered peace between the Terrorists, Federal and State governments of Bornu Kaduna, Zamfara etc, for the release of kidnapped victims “without payment of ransoms”?

Although a controversial figure, Sheikh Gumi had on several occasions criticized the President and his government for lackadaisical attitude in respect of intractable insecurity in the nation through terrorism, banditry kidnapping etc.

Others include MACBAN and Miyetti Allah, which played prominent roles in the release of 350 boys out of about 800 boarding house residents of the Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State on Friday 11th December 2020.

 It was a day President Buhari decided to visit his state on an official duty but was embarrassed with the kidnapping which took place shortly before his arrival. The release was done within six days and the State Governor disclosed that no ransom was paid.

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA CAN NO LONGER STAND ALOOF

One hundred and ten (110), students of the Government Girls Science and Technical College, Yobe, (GGSTC), abducted on 19 February 2018 were rescued without payment of ransom except for LEAH SHARIBU a Christian who refused to renounce her faith within a few days of their abduction and has remained in the custody of Boko Haram terrorist for FOUR YEARS!

Another Christian girl who was among the victims of the Kaduna Abuja train attack in March 2022, 21-year-old Azurfa Lois John, is under threat of marriage by one of the commanders of the terrorists and except  Federal Government acts quickly to effect her release, she may also go the way of Leah sharibu, who is believed to have been forcefully married to one of the Terrorists and now has two children!

FOUR CATHOLIC REVEREND SISTERS KIDNAPPED IN IMO STATE ON 21ST AUGUST 2022 HAVE BEEN RELEASED

The four Catholic Church Reverend Sisters who were kidnapped on their way to a Thanksgiving mass of one of their colleagues have been unconditionally and safely released four days after their abduction.

The Secretary General of the SISTERS OF JESUS THE SAVIOUR requested all religious faithfuls in the country to pray for the quick and safe return of the victims and in response to this call Nigerian Christians fasted and prayed for the quick release of the innocent children of God who are engaged in the work of the VINEYARD.

WHAT ROLE IS CAN PLAYING IN THE RELEASE OF LEAH SHARIBU, AZURFA LOUIS JOHN AND SEVERAL OTHER CHRISTIAN MEN/WOMEN IN THE CAMPS OF TERRORISTS, BANDITS, AND GUNMEN?

It is general knowledge that Terrorists are the most unpredictable inhumans; they are unstable mentally, physically and were virtually on drugs 24 hours of every day; they are most unpredictable in words, action and deeds!

Payment of ransoms do not guarantee the sanctity of the lives of their victims. In all of these, is the Christian Association of Nigeria group afraid of the faces of these bandits and Terrorists? They should join the group of NEGOTIATORS and move into the Forests and into the Camps and negotiate with them through the Word of God and even convert some them with humility and with love!

THE ISLAMIC FAITH BELIEFS THAT BOTH MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS ARE THE OFFSPRINGS OF THE GREAT PATRIARCH ABRAHAM AND AS SUCH SHOULD LIVE IN UNITY AND HARMONY!

POLICY SOMERSAULT OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!

In April 2021 a Nigerian diplomat said if government embraced dialogue with Boko Haram, the endless bleeding of Nigeria's economy would seize and the country would save NGN1.2 trillion Naira annually in a conflict-free environment.

In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on the sudden death of President Idris Debbie of Chad Republic who confronted and defeated Boko Haram Terrorists in the Lake Chad Region, the diplomat said that the President’s death had created a vacuum that would be difficult to fill!

He also said that the situation in the North East would be further aggravated for all state and non-state actors and Nigeria should therefore negotiate peace agreement that will stamp out further bloodshed in the Chad Region.

He promised to pursue and carry out a policy to end the war through negotiation if he were President because there was no viable alternative to negotiation.

In June 2021, the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno said the Nigerian Government would not succumb to negotiations as a means to deal with the worsening security conditions in the country. 

He said negotiating would portend weakness and posited that Nigeria would rather  mobilize all military power to  crush violence in the country and further said that the President had already ask the armed groups to lay down their arms within two months – June-August 2021!

According to United Nations Refugee Agency, about 26 million people in the Lake Chad Region were affected by violence committed by Boko Haram while 2.6 million others were displaced. More than 30,000 people had been killed and nearly 3 million displaced in a decade of Boko Haram terrorist activities in Nigeria according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

There is no need for the Federal Government to continue its deceit that the Nigerian Armed Forces have technically and tactically defeated Boko Haram!

The truth is in the open; they should negotiate so that NIGERIANS will have peace in the long run!
