WHO WAN DIE? SH-E-E POLICEMAN BODY BE BULLET PROOF?

(CHRISTMAS 2022 EDITION)

Senior advocate of Nigeria ‘Femi Falana sounded like a broken record when he said that criminal elements involved in various activities across the country generally operated without any challenge from security forces!

It is common knowledge among the populace that criminals of all genres (Boko Haram /IPOB terrorists , Fulani killer herdsmen, kidnappers, gunmen, bandits, assassins, murderers), rapists etc,  move freely without let or hindrance – and always left in their trail – bloodshed of human causalities, pains, sorrow, anguish etc. and disappear into thin air without apprehension, without trace… without trial! The erudite lawyer and human rights activist expressed fear that unless the security forces were prepared to deal with the anti-democratic forces that were currently disrupting the democratic process, the 2023 general elections might be sabotaged to the detriment of democracy and political stability in the country.

In a recent statement titled: “Halt Official Sabotage of 2023 General Elections”, Chief Falana vehemently complained that the violent attacks being carried out by suspected arsonists posed serious security threats to the impending election!

ONE ATTACK TOO MANY!

Not less than nine Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), regional offices had been , vandalized and torched within the last five months in Imo, Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Anambra, Ogun and Osun States!

Chief Falana condemned the continuous attacks on INEC Offices and lamented over election and logistic materials worth millions of naira which were destroyed with malicious intent.

In spite of the assurance and promises by INEC that they would still be able to conduct the 2023 elections in spite of the orchestrated attacks, Chief Falana opined that security forces should live up to expectations and intensify their operations to ensure  free, fair, transparent and credible elections in the new year!

HOWEVER in one isolated incident in Imo State, three bandits were neutralized, two  captured alive while two policemen seated in a van close to the INEC office lost their lives, there had been no arrest of any attacker by police operatives!

THE POLICEMAN’S MODUS OPERANDI IS “I FIRST, OTHERS LAST”!

In these perilous times of desperate politicians who have access to all manner of sophisticated weapons with which they kit their thugs, law enforcement agents have become wiser to first and foremost defend their own lives  before attempting to attend to vulnerable and innocent citizens of their country whom they were constitutionally bound to  protect!

 In many cases of violent attacks on people in their homes on public highways, city centers or remote villages, the vandals always got away because no amount of desperate “save our souls” outbursts would empathize them to move their muscles until the dare-devils must have had a field day!

And whereas, Section 14 (1)(2)(a)(b)(c) Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria states as follows: (I) The Federal Republic of Nigeria shall be a State based on the principles of democracy and social justice.

(2) It is hereby, accordingly, declared that:

(a) Sovereignty belongs to the people of Nigeria from whom government through this Constitution all its powers and authority.

(b) The security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government: and 

(c) The participation by the people in their government shall be ensured in accordance with the provisions of the constitution.

SECURITY OPERATIVES IN NIGERIA SAY THEY DO NOT POSSESS INVINCIBLE PROTECTION JACKETS!

In any event of a security breach that threatens lives and properties, Nigerian citizens have been advised to dial the emergency toll-free number 112 for quick redress through an intermediary RECEPTIONIST whose only duty was to transfer such desperate matter-of-life-and-death requests to “relevant authorities” that might never RESPOND!

FORTY (40) LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS UNDER TERRORISTS JURISDICTION!

When Major General President Muhammadu Buhari took up the mantle of leadership in 2015, SEVENTEEN Local Government Areas were said to be under the authority of BOKO HARAM terrorists and now at his departure lounge, the terrorists now have more local government areas under their jurisdiction: 17-40! 

Chief ‘Femi Falana also confirmed in a television interview that he had reliable information that the Terrorists were in control over 40 out of 774 LGAs in both North East and West of the country and wondered how elections would be held in those regions?

The ruling party’s Three-prong Manifesto was to fight corruption to a stand still, confront and defeat Boko Haram terrorists including all crimes and criminalities, overcome them and also get the economy on good footing to make Nigeria one of the 20 most successful economies of the world by the year 2020!

The Major General will be out next year 29th May 2023 - just about five months and yet Nigerians are not even sure whether the elections would be postponed like in 2015 and 2019 respectively or that the very much desired REFERENDUM for a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION that will produce PARLIAMENTARIANS AND A PRIME MINISTER IN THE YEAR 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS would be entrenched!

INSECURITY HAS BECOME SYNONYMOUS WITH THE NIGERIAN STATE THAT PEACE COULD NO LONGER BE VOUCHSAFED AT ANY GIVEN PERIOD!

APPEAL TO THE NIGERIA POLICE  FORCE FOR CHANGE OF ATTITUDE.

The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, escaped imprisonment by the whiskers the other time for contempt of Court Orders but this time around he is already guilty as charged in the Court of Public Opinion for TOTAL DERELICTION OF DUTY in view of the avalanche of crimes and criminalities that have deluged the nation and should spend the rest of his tenure in prison!

From his assumption of office on 6th April, 2021 to date there had been an escalation or criminal activities across the length and breadth of the nation but in a sudden U-TURN on Thursday 15th December the Inspector General Police announced that the Nigeria Police had rescued 865 kidnapped victims and arrested 383 suspects between January and November 2022. 

He made this disclosure during a meeting in Abuja with strategic police managers from the rank of commissioners and above adding that 923 armed robbery suspects 335 murder suspects and 473 suspected cultists were also arrested in the same period mentioned earlier according to a News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) report!

38 KADUNA INNOCENT VILLAGERS MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD ON SUNDAY 18TH DECEMBER 2022!

Bandits were reported to have invaded some communities in Southern Kaduna on Sunday night and killed 38 people, burnt down over 162 houses and 20 motorcycles in a situation described as very inhuman and most despicable!

The Police is investigating the immediate and remote causes of the attack which was said to have been carried out by about 100 bandits who rode of motorbikes to the various communities affected!

Where did these criminals emerge from?

THE IGP NEEDS TO BE MORE CREDIBLE IN INFORMATION GATHERING AND DISSEMINATION!

Merry Christmas to our numerous readers and followers across the world.

HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION TO PROBE SLAUGHTER OF UNBORN BABIES BY NIGERIAN ARMY!

ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 11.NO 488. 18th December 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION TO PROBE SLAUGHTER OF UNBORN BABIES BY NIGERIAN ARMY!

 Nigerian governments since independence were quick to deny international negative reports or assessments  especially those that border on human rights abuses, institutional corruption, insecurity, terrorism, economy,  poverty etc!

Reuters News Agency on 7th December, 2022, published an indicting report titled: “THE ABORTION ASSAULT” [Nigerian Military ran secret mass abortion programme in war against Boko Haram], in the country’s North East Borno State!

The story was promptly denied and dismissed by both the Military and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), with a wave of the hand!

The thrust of the report was the allegation of an ongoing and systematic termination of pregnancies of liberated women from the Boko Haram Terrorists captivity without their consent by a hatchet top secret medical team of the 7 Division Nigerian Army stationed at the main theatre of war in Maiduguri!

 

It was alleged in Reuters very detailed investigative report that the military had surreptitiously and persistently conducted induced forced abortions on the unfortunate young women who were victims of abductions and rape by the insurgents and terrorists in the past nine years - 2013-2022!

The detailed story by this foreign media also claimed that not less than 10,000 girls and women in their teens and twenties were clandestinely administered with mysterious injections and pills which aborted the unborn babies without their permission or consent and forbidden to disclose their ordeal to anyone!

 Reuters whose reporters were on ground in Nigeria claimed that its investigation was based on interviews with 33 women and girls who said they underwent abortions while in the custody of the Nigerian army while just one woman said she freely gave her consent. 

 Reporters also interviewed five civilian health care workers and nine security personnel involved in the program, including soldiers and other government employees such as armed guards engaged in escorting pregnant women to abortion sites.

 In addition Reuters reviewed copies of military documents and civilian hospital records describing or tallying thousands of abortion procedures.

IRABOR AND LAI MOHAMMED DENY ON BEHALF OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!

However the Federal Government of Major General  Muhammadu Buhari had risen quickly to deny and condemn the report that such illegal activities neither existed nor were ever conducted at the medical department of the Nigerian Army!

 Leading the pack of denials were the Chief of Defence Staff of the Nigerian Army, General Lucky  Irabor followed by government’s spokesman, Federal Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed.

 It was evident from the cacophony of denials that swallowed up Reuters allegations, that the government agency involved was suspect because officials were yet to disclose steps taken to investigate the veracity: peradventure some part of the story was true!

WHY WOULD THE NIGERIAN ARMY BE INVOLVED IN SUCH DESPICABLE SLAUGHTER? 

Policy influencers of the Buhari Administration according to Reuters strongly believed that terrorists would definitely give birth to terrorists and within a short dispensation of time generations of Frankenstein Monsters would have subdued the great country of Nigeria to a jungle scenario like Somalia!

 To prevent and nip in the bud such unsavoury catastrophe, urgent steps should be taken to counter its occurrence in spite of the fact that cradle lives were involved just like Egypt’s Pharoah Seti  II, ordered the murder of male Hebrew infants to prevent increase of migrant Israeli able-bodied men of war from supporting invaders to overthrow his kingdom! [Exodus. 1:8-10,16].

REUTERS IS A HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL AND VERY CREDIBLE NEWS AGENCY!

REUTERS is a news agency owned by Thomson Reuters Corporation. It employs around 2,500 journalist and 600 photojournalist in about 200 locations worldwide.

Reuters is one of the largest on-line news agencies in the world. The agency was established in London in 1851 by the German-born Paul writer.

The independent foreign news agency provides intelligence technology and human expertise needed to find trusted answers data and information to professionals across three different industries; legal tax and accounting and news and media.

According to Wikipedia Reuters is structured on 10 absolute dedicated journalistic tenets as follows: 1. Always holding accuracy sacrosanct. 2. Always correct an error openly. 3. Always strive for balance and freedom from bias. 4. Always reveal a conflict of interest to a manager.  5. Always respect privileged information. 6. Always protect their sources from the authorities. 7. Always guard against putting their opinion in a news story. 8. Never fabricate or plagiarize. 9. Never alter a still or moving image beyond the requirements of normal image enhancement. 10. Never pay for a story and never accept a bribe. 

Reuters is structured on  Accuracy, Independence, Freedom from bias and Integrity.

The outfit believes in accountable journalism, diligently conforms with its Writers Handbook of Journalism on Standards and Values, and religiously adheres to rules and ethics of journalism,

THE CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF HAS MADE A U-TURN!

On Friday 16th December 2022, Chief of Defence Staff, General Irabor, made a U-Turn and requested Nigerian Human Rights Commission (NHRC), to probe Reuters report on secret abortion to prevent Boko Haram children from stepping into their parents' shoes in future following public outcry and outrage over his earlier denial!

The United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres had also called on the Nigerian Government to investigate the allegation which Buhari's spokesman Lai Mohammed and General Irabor, had earlier described as evil!

The Chief of Defence Staff paid a visit to NHRC Headquarters in Abuja, and said that the leadership of the Nigerian military welcomed an independent and thorough probe of the allegations by a neutral organisation.

He also said being an institution that is guided by law; “We deem it fit to call on the Nigerian Human Rights Commission to investigate the allegations with a view to getting to the bottom of the issues raised.”

His visit was to formally assure the Executive Secretary of the NHRC and his management team that their doors would be open for them to conduct a thorough investigation. 

He also promised that his officers would be available to answer their questions and that they would be granted unfettered access to all military establishments not only in the Northeast but across the country.

General Irabor claimed that the Nigeria Army had always adhered to the tenets of international humanitarian laws and had also abided by their professional ethical codes together with the Military Standard Operation Procedures in all their activities across the country. He was assured by the executive secretary that his commission was already  poised to investigate Reuters allegations because of the human rights implications and added that the commission would soon announce further steps in the near future towards the constitution of a Panel of Investigation into the Reuters report.

We will not pre-empt outcome of the impending INDEPENDENT investigation but will request that evidences should neither be destroyed nor victims harassed into silence! He that should come to equity MUST come with clean hands!

CHIEF JUSTICE ARIWOOLA’S ROMANCE WITH THE POLITICIANS IS BOUND TO HAVE BACK LASH!

ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 11.NO 487. 11th December 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

CHIEF JUSTICE ARIWOOLA’S ROMANCE WITH THE POLITICIANS IS BOUND TO HAVE BACK LASH!

If only the dead could speak from the grave, late Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice John Idowu Conrad Taylor, would have frowned at the attitude of incumbent Chief Justice of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola for frolicking with politicians  both at the Federal and State levels since his investiture at the State House, Abuja on Wednesday 12th October, 2022! 

On assumption of office as substantive Chief Justice, having been sworn in by Major General President Muhammadu Buhari and conferred with the second highest National honour of Grand Commander Order of the Niger (GCON), than the 68-year-old jurist began socialising and revelling with governors, political office holders, business moguls, movers and shakers of policies at the corridors of power!

From Oyo to Rivers State the red carpets were rolled out to treat him to sumptuous receptions and parties where glowing tributes and encomiums were lavishly showered on him!

The Rivers State Governor in particular got him to spend two days of banqueting and commissioning of Judicial Projects.

While in Port Harcourt, the CJN was reported to have said that he was happy that Governor ‘Seyi Makinde of his home State, (Oyo), was part of the G5  Integrity Group of five Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Governors who were at loggerheads with their party’s National Executives!

Already, the Coalition of Civil Society Groups for Transparency and Good Governance has called for his resignation over this comment which was construed as “double standard” in respect of his exalted office and as regards “ethno-religious affiliations”.

They insisted that the CJN should not continue in that position having presented himself as an active player in a particular team.

It should be recalled that the CJN’s appointment came on the heels of a damnable leaked petition (bothering on Judges Welfare), by 14 Justices of the Supreme Court against his predecessor in office, C. J. Tanko Mohammad, who eventually retired voluntarily on health grounds! Ariwoola was the most senior in rank to the retired Justice.

WORDS ON MARBLE FOR LATE JUSTICE JOHN IDOWU CONRAD TAYLOR! 

He was an impeccable jurist with moral principles. A man of very high standards, respected for his integrity, diligence, commitment and devotion to duty with the foresight for decorum, finesse and perfection!

The following true story was told of the late Justice J. I. C. Taylor who was the Chief Judge of Lagos State during the Military Administration of Nigeria but honourably turned down his governor’s official invitation to a State Dinner on the following grounds: "Lagos State Government has several pending cases before me ….. I find it inappropriate to honour the invitation.”

At his demise the Military Head of State General Yakubu Gowon eulogized him for his sterling qualities.

ARE THERE MORE CORRUPT ELEMENTS IN THE JUDICIARY NOW?

A searchlight into the activities of Nigerian courts revealed dirty, sordid, gruesome manipulation and perversion of the course of justice by corrupt judges. According to an insider a retired President of the Court of Appeal, the Nigerian Judiciary harbours corrupt elements who are politicians and government apologists who attend all manner of social gatherings and frolic even with litigants with pending cases before the High Courts. 

“How can judges decide cases against their political parties and people they wine and dine with” queries the insider?

During his first tenure Major General President Buhari in a petition to the judiciary reminded the learned benchers that they should be in the forefront of efforts to develop right-based jurisprudence as an element of the multi-disciplinary approach advocated in the fight against corruption by enforcing applicable laws to avoid delay in ensuring criminal justice administration.

According to the President, corruption cases filed by government were not progressing as they should and in spite of the Criminal Justice Act of 2015, the courts allowed some lawyers to frustrate the reforms introduced by law and called for a change of attitude for a collective action in building a new Nigeria in the face of dwindling Revenue by tackling two ILLS – Waste and Corruption simultaneously.

Justice Ayo Salami, a retired Judge of the Appeal Court during a lecture said that Nigeria needed to sanitize and rid the Judiciary of corrupt elements who were dishonourable people not fit to be judges and senior lawyers but got into the system, made it to the highest level of the judicial career but subsequently frustrated the common man's quest for Justice and equity.

DSS STING OPERATION AGAINST JUDGES FROM 8TH TO 9TH OCTOBER 2016 WAS NOT A SUCCESS!

The well-coordinated search operations by the Directorate of Security Services (DSS), on the homes of suspected  High/Supreme Court Judges believed to possess bribe monies and properties illegally acquired was successful but highly condemned by the elites as unprecedented!

Although many of them were arraigned before the courts but were eventually discharged and acquitted with all seized properties/monies allegedly acquired returned with apologies!

CJN Ariwoola may not be as lucky as his predecessors! He has ruffled the BEES NEST, he should expect MANY STINGS!

BUHARI’S GENERALS GANG UP TO DISOBEY THE LAW COURTS!

#CAMPAIGN FOR REFERENDUM AND NOT VIOLENT AGITATIONS! [NO.48]. –DR. DAVID OLUFON.  2nd December, 2022.

BUHARI’S GENERALS GANG UP TO DISOBEY THE LAW COURTS!

Nigeria is truly living to its billing as a very lawless country where custodians of the law have become brazen lawbreakers!

Since the barrel of the gun was introduced on 15th January 1966, Nigeria never knew PEACE again!

Consecutive military governments ruled with the iron fist and bequeathed a UNITARY PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM to the country in which effontery for disobedience to lawful orders and impunity at all levels of government became a permanent way of life.

For instance there is no office of First Lady in the 1999 Military Constitution of the Federal Republic but Mrs. Aisha Buhari has been making waves as Nigeria's number one woman with abundant perks and paraphernalia!

There is also no nomenclature like ‘Federal Executive Council' (FEC), in the legal document in question but all governments at the federal level since 1999 held Wednesdays FEC Meetings to award contracts according to their whims and caprices under the watch of the civilians and military Generals!

Consecutive Federal Governments always chose which court orders to obey and which to disobey with impunity!

MAJOR GENERAL MUHAMMADU BUHARI’S SECURITY GENERALS HAVE FOLLOWED SUIT IN DISOBEDIENCE TO COURT ORDERS!

FIRST it was the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdul Rasheed Bawa who was ordered by a Federal High Court in Abuja to be remanded in prison custody at the Kuje Correctional Centre for contempt – disobedience and continued disobedience of the said order!

 He failed to carry out the order of the court made on 21st November 2018 to return to an applicant his Range Rover (supercharged) and to pay a fine of NGN40 million to the applicant as damages!

SECOND, the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba also flouted the law by refusing to carry out an order to reinstate a forcibly retired police officer and was sentenced on Tuesday 29th November 2022 to three months in prison for disobeying valid court orders by a Federal High Court, Abuja. 

According to the report, a police officer Patrick Okoli who claimed he was unlawfully and compulsory retired from the Nigeria Police Force in June 1992, challenged the abnormally at a Bauchi High Court which on February 19, 1994 ordered his reinstatement with all rights and privileges.

But the Police Service Commission (PSC) letter dated 13th October, 2004 which directed the IGP to reinstate the petitioner was disregarded to date! In addition to the sentence the Inspector General of police was ordered to comply with the directive of the Police Service Commission by reinstating the applicant.

 

The court also ordered the payment of NGN10 million naira to the applicant being special and general damages for the unlawful, illegal and unconstitutional denial of his rights and privileges as a senior officer of the Nigeria Police Force from 1992 to date.

THIRD, on 1st December 2022, a High Court sitting in Minna, Niger State, issued a warrant of arrest and incarceration of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General Faruk Yahaya for contempt of court!

The High Court Judge also ordered that the Commandant of the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), Minna, a Major General be arrested and imprisoned for a similar offence.

 Both men would remain in the custody of the Correctional Centre, Minna, until they purge themselves of contempt for disobeying the court order made on 12th October, 2022.

The judge order the arrest of the top Army officers at the resumed hearing of a case between one Adamu Makama and 42 others versus the executive Governor of Niger State and seven others in a suit numbered NSHC/225/2019, which was eventually adjourned to 8th December 2022.

QUESTION: Have the sentenced high-profile persons been arrested and incarcerated according to the law? Of course NO! They are all walking free because they are above the law!

1999 NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION IS A DOCUMENT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION!

It is  NOT TOO LATE for patriotic Nigerians to rally together, demand for REFERENDUM TO  REPLACE the obnoxious military constitution with a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION with which the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), will conduct the 2023 General Elections that will produce a PRIME MINISTER  and hundreds of PARLIAMENTARIANS AS PANACEA TO PERMANENT PEACE IN NIGERIA!

REFERENDUM IS CONDUCTED IN ONE DAY! 

Nigerians should no longer be deceived by corrupt politicians whose only desire in life is to predate on the masses collective patrimony!

Please share this treatise on all social networks and internet portals for wider coverage.

MOST NIGERIAN PRESS PRACTITIONERS ARE UNPRODUCTIVE AND VERY LAZY!

ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 11.NO 486. 4h December 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

MOST NIGERIAN PRESS PRACTITIONERS ARE UNPRODUCTIVE AND VERY LAZY!

Contrary to its constitutional duties of general oversight of all government activities, the Nigerian Press relishes in dishing annual ludicrous “media titles” coined in enticing phrases to non-performing pilfering State Governors, captains of industry, political jobbers, self-acclaimed billionaires, portfolio investors etc, for pecuniary gains!

Some of the titles included, “Best Governor, Senator, Industrialist, Local Government Chairman, etc, of every year, year-on-year!

Chapter II Section 22 of the 1999 Military Constitution states that Press is saddled with the following responsibilities,: The Press, radio, television, and other agencies of the mass media shall at all times be free to uphold the fundamental objectives contained in this Chapter and uphold the responsibility and accountability of the Government to the people.” In other words the Nigerian press is expected to function as the WATCHDOG of the good citizens of this great nation of Nigeria and to report all activities of government, public or private for everyone to rightly conclude whether or not they have delivered on their promises.

Current members of the Nigerian Press should always stand out as an impeccable, the most vibrant, vigilant, brilliant, intelligent, intellectual, sagacious, articulate, dedicated, patriotic, celebral, courageous, and very fearless professionals in the world, because of antecedents bequeathed through engagements who negotiated INDEPENDENCE on a platter of gold!

In history pre/post independence journalist and writers like our first President Nnamdi Azikiwe, Herbert Macaulay, Obafemi Awolowo, Anthony Enahoro, Peter Enahoro (Peter Pan), Alade Odunewu (Allah De), Peter Osugo, Adamu Ciroma, Olabisi Onabanjo, Babatunde Jose, etc, played significant roles to enshrine, sustain and maintain the independence and sovereignty of the great nation of Nigeria even at  the peril of their lives!

It remains an indisputable fact that late Journalist cum Politician, Chief Anthony Enahoro, mooted the call for Nigerian Independence at the London Conference in 1956!

Chapter II Section 39 (1) – (3) (a) and (b) also stipulate other oversight duties of the Press.

IS THE NIGERIAN PRESS ENGAGED IN IS CONSTITUTIONAL DUTIES AT THIS TIME OF THE NATION'S PREDICAMENTS?

Following the brutal take over of government in 1966 by the military to the present attempt of  a nascent democracy from 1999 to date, the Nigerian Press cannot point to any significant role it had played to nurture a new generation of politicians outside of those who frolicked, wined and dinned with the khaki boys during the almost 30 years of illegal martial occupation of the 

nation!

Regular journalists took over the centre ; reported political/ government engagements on invitation, collect press releases/ brown envelopes which subsidized paltry salaries by their employers; most times published foreign/fake/hate news that are found in abundance on the internet/social media to fill the gap!

Now that the election fever has gathered momentum, politicians who were ever ready to bribe their ways into political offices in the coming year have engaged unprofessional media men and women to propagate all their lies/ fake news with the view to having an edge over their opponents!

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME FEW MEDIA HOUSES INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM IS ANATHEMA TO THE NIGERIAN MEDIA PRACTITIONER IN THIS 21st CENTURY!

It will be an understatement to assert that the Nigerian/International media have greater responsibility in governance, human rights protection, institutional development, protection of lives and properties and general welfare of the people as general overseers than those who were selected, elected or rigged themselves to run the day-to-day affairs of governance!

In the past 22 years of democratic diarchy in Nigeria, media practitioners only “sidon look” and report rummors or fables!

 There is none of them who is not aware that the present “dollar-consuming” naira- wasting 1999 Military Constitution of Nigeria is an abberation forced down the throat of hapless Nigerians who do not have the wherewithal to raise brimstone and fire like in other climes where citizens express very violent attitudes that drove sitting Heads of State into exile!

They would neither investigate nor engage in digging deep to unravel financial leakages/wastages/corruption at all levels of the THREE TIERS – the ANNUAL BUDGET PADDING which Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin provided on a platter of gold! What about the phantom CONSTITUENCY PROJECTS,?

None of them ever bothered to interogate  the honorable member of the House of Representatives in 2016 when he exposed the sordid corruption at such a high level of government and confront the efcc for failing to take necessary action to arrest and prosecute the honorable member and all the high-profile ranking members who were accused of the bare-faced robbery of common patrimony to date!

These media practitioners are so distant from grassroot citizens who were always ready to give free information to expose all the ills of a decadent society like Nigeria!

The 13-year-old Boko Haram insurgency which metamorphosed into terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, assasinations, and attacks are the “by-products” of INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION which the Press gave little or no attention to, except to publish PRESS HAND OUTS FROM GOVERNMENT OR THE MILITARY AUTHORITIES!

Outside of general commentaries, the media men/women in spite of the fact that they have many constituted bodies like Nigerian Union of Journalist (NUJ), National Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), Nigeria Press Council etc. had never pressurised consecutive governments to abbrogate the obnoxious document!

Have they ever collectively suggest and demand for the option of A REFERENDUM for the immediate enactment of a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION that will collapse the unprofitable structure of the executive presidency, governorship at State levels, the legislative and local government administrations to usher a cash-friendly government of PARLIAMENTARIANS from the grassroots who will from among themselves choose a PRIME MINISTER in the 2023 General Elections!

MEDIA TOWN HALL POLITICAL BLABBING OF PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES!

It is Our candid opinion that majority of Nigerian media practitioners had not been very objective in the conduct of mushroom Village/Town Hall Meetings this far! Some gatherings were allegedly motivated for financial perks!

What is the role of the Press in asking irrelevant and inconsequential questions about the Climate or how to mitigate  Annual Flooding from presidential candidates whose mission is to make more money from such strategic projects and cared less whether the citizens swam or sank having been  thrown up from very corrupt party primaries? 

Were journalidts not supposed to have stopped these IMPOSTORS in the first instance by exposing all of their dirty past through deliberate and authentic investigation that would have given sufficient EVIDENCES TO  law enforcement agencies to arrest them and incarcerate them?

 

Are these practitioners not putting the HORSE BEHIND THE CART NOW?

WATERGATE in America was the brainchild of very dedicated journalists but DASUKIGATE in Nigeria was a HANDOUT from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), for press publication!

Where were the Nigerian media practitioners when a retired Deputy Inspector-General of Police – then a serving Senator of the Federal Republic said on the floor of the red Chamber that he was seated with criminals! Where were they?

This is shameful scenario that these generation of practitioners must braze up to ameliorate.

Apart from the THIS DAY AND CHANNELS GROUPS OF MEDIA PRACTITIONERS, who have established outstanding articulate, cerebral and very professional qualities locally and internationally in INVESTIGATIVE REPORTAGE – all the others just exist to fill the gap!

 

WE ENCOURAGE THE CHIEF  EXECUTIVE OF THIS DAY AND THE CHANNELS GROUP CONGLOMERATE TO CHAMPION THE MOVE FOR REFERENDUM WHICH WILL TAKE JUST ONE DAY TO DECIDE THE 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS AND PERMANENTLY DOUSE THE CURRENT VANDALIZATION OF INEC FACILITIES ACROSS NIGERIA AND LOSS OF PRECIOUS LIVES AND PROPERTIES!

We disagree that this move is TOO CLOSE to the elections! 

“With God all things are possible!”

NIGERIA ROBBED FOR 13 YEARS FROM EVOLVING TO NATIONHOOD!

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 485. 27th November 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

NIGERIA ROBBED FOR 13 YEARS FROM EVOLVING TO NATIONHOOD!

Mallam Adamu’s lamentation of eight-year - two-term - failure as Nigeria Minister of Education has begun to yield dividends with the recent resuscitation of the exiled subject of History into the basic education curriculums.

History was removed from the primary/secondary school curriculums during the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Administration of late President Umaru Yar’Adua in the 2009/2010 academic session but the minister ordered a re-introduction of the subject in 2019.

 For the fact that the reason for its removal was still shrouded in mystery, the minister confessed that history used to be one of the foundational subjects taught in the classrooms but for some inexplicable reasons the steam of teaching and learning was abolished.

In a speech at the flag-off ceremony of the re-introduction of the teaching of History on Thursday 24th November, 2022, in Abuja, Adamu also said that history was subsequently expunged from the list of subject combinations which students could offer in both external and internal examinations compared to the subjects that were made compulsory at basic and secondary levels in Nigeria.

The following are excerpts of the minister’s speech as delivered by his representative, Minister of State for Education at the flag-off ceremony:

“This single art no doubt relegated and eroded the knowledge and information that learners could otherwise have been exposed to.

“It was a monumental mistake and we have already started seeing the negative consequences. The loss created by the absence of this subject has led to a fall in moral values, erosion and civic values and disconnect from the past.

“ More worrisome was the neglect of the teaching of this subject at the basic and post-basic levels of education which invariably eroded the knowledge of the evolution of Nigeria as a country,”Adamu further lamented!

I HAVE WOEFULLY FAILED AS MINISTER OF EDUCATION!

Previously on Thursday 3rd November, 2022, Adamu confessed and did not deny but admitted that he was a total disaster to the education sector!

His conscience pricked him so badly especially in the manner he slothfully handled the eight-month-long (14th February – 14th October 2022), ASUU strike which almost robbed innocent tertiary students of a whole academic calendar year - while the dust is yet to settle down in respect of the pro-rata salaries paid to the revered and respected academics in October 2022 as if they were casual labourers!

During the 66th National Council on Education (NCE), held on 3rd November 2022, Abuja, Adamu who claimed to be the longest-serving minister in Major General Muhammadu Buhari’s administration noted that he had not been able to provide solutions to the problems facing the ministry. 

He was irked by the increasing number of out-of-school street children of over 13 million including the Academic Staff Union of (Public) Universities prolonged strike as part of his failure BUT he has not RESIGNED because he was determined to make RESTITUTION!

RE-INTRODUCTION CEREMONY/ TRAINING OF HISTORY TEACHERS AT THE BASIC EDUCATION LEVEL FLAGGED OFF ON 24TH NOVEMBER 2022 IN ABUJA.

Vital Information:

1) A total of 3,700 history teachers have been shortlisted for the first- round of training for enhanced teaching of the subject.

2) Focus of the introduction was the training and the re-training of teachers in order to enhance their capacity development which would lead to the mastery of the subject.

3) Teachers will be provided with the requisite skills needed to teach the subject through collaboration of Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), which handled pro-rata selection of the 3,700 History teachers from the 36 States of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) for training.

4) UBEC and the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC), will work together to equip the new teachers with the necessary skills to teach the subject especially with the modification of its content.

QUESTIONS: 

a. What is History as a subject? In simple definition – it is a record of existence, past, present and future. Of accounts of genre of creation - the homo sapiens, mysteries of the environments, atmospheric/climate changes, vegetations etc.History is uniquely outstanding: inquisitive, ubiquitous! It probes into the artistic, scientific; asks questions and records answers for posterity! History is the life, breath and the very existence of the universe and its peoples as presently domicile!

b. Who is Adamu Adamu? Mallam Adamu Adamu CON, (born 25th May, 1954, aged 68), is an accountant, journalist and politician who is currently serving as Minister of Education. Adamu who is of the Northern extraction Azare, Katagum, Bauchi State assumed office on 11th November 2015 and still serving to date. He possesses bachelor's degree in accounting and master's degree in journalism. He served as a special assistant to Major General Muhammadu Buhari who, during the military interregnum, was Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) was also the secretary and member of Muhammadu Buhari’s APC Presidential Transition Committee. He was awarded in October 2022 a Nigerian national honour of Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON), by the retired Major General in spite of his calamitous failure as a minister of the Federal Republic! (Courtesy Wikipedia).

ADAMU MAKES RESTITUTION AS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT RESTORES HISTORY IN THE EDUCATION CURRICULUM 13 YEARS AFTER ITS EXCLUSION!

It will be a disservice to the lofty constitutional ideals as enacted that citizens’ rights to quality education was sacrosanct and at the same time assume that 13 years expulsion of the History subject in the Education curriculum of Nigerian students did not amount to a colossal damage and wastage to the acquisition of knowledge of unimaginable proportion of a whole generation of Nigerian YOUTHS!

BUT the Nigerian selfish leadership had in the past 13 years deprived the youth of the acquisition of the knowledge of the very important subject of History and ultimately the knowledge of their own country, it's past and present for over one decade!

THE SARDAUNA OF SOKOTO LENDS SUPPORT TO RESUSCITATION OF HISTORY!

Highly revered traditional ruler of the Caliphate in a goodwill message to the flag-off stated that Nigeria was still evolving and striving to achieve nationhood. and therefore appealed to traditional rulers as custodians of the nation's rich culture, traditions and values and indeed all Nigerians to support the whole step taken by the government to re-introduce the subject.

 He said “We owe it a duty to encourage research for the documentation of the history of our people and should be forthcoming in granting access to historical records in our custody.”

THE INCREDIBLE POSITION OF HISTORY AS THE MOST RELEVANT SUBJECT OF EDUCATION!

HISTORY IS AN ART.

The quote “history is an art” is a paraphrase of an idea by Ernest Renan who was a 19th-Century French philosopher, language expert and biblical scholar. His actual comment was, “history is as much and art as a science”.

In asking audiences to view history as an “art”, Renan is pushing back against the notion that history is simply what “happened”.

 Instead, considering history as “art “asks people to think of the past as a story that has been constructed.

 Even when scholars adopt rigorous methodologies and attend to tell a “balanced” story they are still forced to make choices. 

These choices could be considered “artistic” inasmuch as they depend more on the individual historian and not circumstances or things outside of him or her.

HISTORY AS HUMANISTIC LITERARY ACTIVITY.

As a humanistic and literary activity, history is both science and art. It is scientific in its method and technique but literary and artistic in its presentation. Courtesy: The Unity of Knowledge: History as Science and Art – D.I Ajaegbo. 2013.

WHY HISTORY IS CONSIDERED TO BE SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINE!

The method of presenting history is different from that of other sciences. Even so, history uses the scientific method at every stage, namely, while looking for collecting evidence, examining the evidence and while putting it together.

When required, help is also taken from others sciences. That is why, history to be a scientific discipline.

History is not written solely on the basis of imagination – toppr.com

ADAMU’S LAST CARD FOR RESTITUTION!

Media reports say that Adamu is in league with Chris Ngige the interloper Labour Minister who is quoting an extant law of “no work no pay” to further exacerbate the unsavoury situation!

It is on record that Government always bent backwards to assuage and not compound such delicate issues that have to do with FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE OFFICE OF THE CITIZENS FROM WHOM THEY DERIVE THEIR  AUTHORITY AND POWER!

Adamu should advise his principal, to pay the lecturers all of their salaries and allowances during the period of the LEGITIMATE STRIKE WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY!

Any action contrary to the above will result in a total conflagration of whatever legacy the All Progressives Congress (APC) and retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari hope to bequeath to POSTERITY!

“A word is sufficient to the Wise!”
