‘That
night, the king could not sleep and so, he ordered for the book records of
memorable deeds and read it…(Easther 6:1). As a co-heir with Christ, I am a
king, prophet and priest but in the worldly realm, I am not a king. However on
the Night of 26/10/23, when the Justices of the
Supreme-Cult, gave
a TECHNICAL knock-out to
the Atiku & Obi, and turned itself
into the lost hope of the common man seeking for justice( though Obi &
Atiku are not common!), I could not sleep! I rolled around and about my purpose-built football field sized bed, trying
to come to terms with the operational implications of the judgement,
which declared that forgery,
perjury, drug-related forfeitures, electoral brigandage, deliberate deception
by government officials, conscious mutilation and manipulation of electoral results and identity theft were and are of no effect, and that
Abuja is just like Lagos State. And
since whatever the SC declares becomes the law, these issues became a part of our constitution
from that day! Eventually, since I had nobody to bring the book of records
to me, I ascended into my ‘medulla-oblongata’,
the largest but free computer ever
built, with the largest and inexhaustible storage capacity and recalled the
records of those whom the nation had severely wronged, and whom we owe nationwide apologies and restitution.
Before I delve into what I saw in that my
natural computer, let me share with you
an unconstitutional directive from the VC of Nnamdi Azikiwe
University. Professor Esimone had ordered that an employee of the university should be
suspended IMMEDIATELY for presenting a fake and forged degree certificate to
the university. In a desperate bid to
secure an employment, Nwafor Osborne Ogbonnaya, whose real name is Nwafor
Ogbonnaya Nwesuzor, abandoned his
undergraduate programme and forged the University’s statement of result as well
as a letter of exclusion from the NYSC. He then went to complete his degree
programme retroactively!!! Of course this should be expected in a nation where
those who are employed are looking for their certificates while those with
certificates are looking for employment. However, a no-nonsense and vibrant newly registered NGO, DOTLW(
Defenders of The Law Worldwide) rose to the occasion by warning the VC to reverse the suspension IMMEDIATELY or
face legal action and mass uprising. In support of its ultimatum,
it quoted the recent Supreme Cult
judgement and the definition of forgery by SAN Keyamo as when the maker of
document( not necessarily, the appropriate authority) denies ever making it!
Furthermore,
as the fake news of the release of HushPuppy( HP) by his American jailors gained momentum, a
group of like-minded, vibrant youths, who have
rightly read the season,
immediately formed a political
movement: HP4SP(HushPuppy for Senate President!). They have
already established the National, Zonal ,State and LG offices, (s)elected the
officers and are planning to organise their inaugural congress in pursuit of their patriotic agenda.
Why not? HP is eminently qualified. They have also prepared the
legal response to busybodies like PO who
will OBIviously go to court: the conviction was in foreign land
and not in consonance with laws and Supreme Court rulings in Nigeria, which is
an independent country. Consequently,
they vowed to continue with their youthful agenda, even if the news of the release
were fake. They would fight the US
judicial system over his detention to a standstill in US courts, following the
recently established precedence. They will argue racism, abuse of human rights
and condescending attitude towards
de-developing countries. De-Developing countries? Those that are
going geometrically backwards while others are marching econometrically forward!
And
of course, you are all aware that Justice Inyang Ekwo has punished the NYSC for
having the audacity to say that the
Discharge Certificate being paraded by Mbah was not issued by them. The court
accused the NYSC of misrepresenting of facts
and not only restrained them from ever denying the certificate, it also imposed a hefty fine of N5m against
the agency. As a reward to Mr Mbah? The order to NYSC was go and speak no
more! One Agwolorombe
(a name which means The snake that swallowed a tortoise and lives
to tell the tale) graphically presented
the matter thus:
The
Appeal Court has of course affirmed Peter Mbah as the winner; a person who
presented a certificate disowned by the appropriate authority.!
So,
here are the things I ‘saw’ as I lay
awake sleepless that night. I recalled three Nigerian youths, Bartholomew Owoh et al
who were executed retroactively over drug-related
offences by GMBs government; the same GMB
who is the grandfather of the present regime.
I recalled the young Salisu Buhari who broke down in tears and resigned
his exalted speakership seat following ordinary press allegations ( The News) of
forgery and perjury and the establishment of an investigative committee by the House
of Representatives. He was born in 1970,
not 1963; he never went to Toronto and he never served in the NYSC’ This same
NYSC again). On 22/7/99, he resigned
after this tearful speech ‘I apologise to you, to the nation, to my
family and friends for all the distress I caused them, I was misled in error’
The Editor in Chief then of ‘The News’ was Bayo Onanuga; yes, the same Bayo
Onanuga that thou knowest, who has become FULLY BATified.
Evan(s) Enwerem, Kemi
Adeosun, Danladi & Lyon rehearsing before he was COURted out
I
remember Evan(s) Enwerem, the Senate President, whose name became doubtful as
exposed by the Tell Magazine in August 1999. He was impeached as the SP
although he remained as a floor member of the Senate . I remember David Lyon,
who won the governorship election in
Bayelsa state and had finished
practicing the handover protocols in the evening of February 13 before the SC
axed him because his deputy, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo( quite a mouthful)
submitted forged credentials to INEC. Lyon had no issue; it was his deputy and
he got involved because according to the
SC, they ran on a joint ticket. And this happened less than 24 hours to the handing over and
after rehearsals and other preparations had been concluded!. For the man to have survived this must have
been an act of God. Kemi Adeosun, the psychedelic and largely experience-deficit
Ministeress of Finance who was hounded
over an Oluwole NYSC Certificate
wherein she bald-facedly presented a certificate of exemption signed in
September 2009 by Yusuf Bomoi, whose tenure
ended in February 2009, 7 months
earlier. Abubakar Sani Danladi, who rigged himself into the Senate and
was sacked and ordered to refund 3 months salaries was in 2019 the APC
gubernatorial candidate in Taraba State and was disqualified for lying under
oath (age and certificate) and banned from holding public office for 10 years.
And
I recalled the latest case of young Mmesoma, who performed excellently in
JAMB but wanted to be an award winning Jambite and thus upgraded
her score to 330+. JAMB sanctioned her
immediately just as ANSG set up a committee that found her guilty. Even Osita
Chidoka did a special feature to explain how she could not have attended the
JAMB examination centre owned by him. She publicly apologised and the
scholarship awarded her by Innoson went up in flames’. I recall the case of Hon
Emeka Nnamani of LP Representing Aba North Federal Constituency, who was axed
by the Appeal Court for having indulged in Certificate Forgery ( UNIPORT)in
2015 and barred from seeking public office for 10 years. They refused to
understand that in the present reality, 8(2015-2023) could be statistically
approximated to 10( 2015-2025). And then, the day broke.
Nigerians
condemned these people and nobody made cases for them. In the case of Mmesoma,
she was condemned but some people pleaded for mercy because of her age and
because the elders had shown her the fastest but wrong route to success and that what
mattered was just to HAMMER,
irrespective of how one hammered. Even
those who called for us to take it easy
on her( but never supported what she
did) were crucified. Today however, the
reverse is the case; lettered people, who were hitherto ‘for the people’
and in the vanguard of rule of law and justice, including those who stood with
Fawahinmi when he sued one governor in the Centre of Excellence for certificate
forgery are now boldly explaining and
defending the ‘irreparable damage’ arising from ‘CSUgate’, This is
even though we had been fully warned ‘Woe
to those who call evil, good( Isaiah,5:20)’. Keyamo declared that
Tinubu was and is as white as snow
though he was among the first to go to court over the matter years ago. While
Agu Onwuzuruoha rued that ‘Sadly truth is the scarcest
community in Nigeria right now. It keeps changing as greed, ethnicity,
stupidity and emotion are thrown into the mix. People are now arguing that
truth is a moving variable. Nothing can be further than the truth’ and Lasisi Olagunju warned that ‘Conformity,
acquiescence and surrender to today’s creepy spiral of silence is certain death
to the republic and all who value good life…(Abobaku, Jupa and Tinubu
haters. Tribune, 6/11/23), Bayo Onanuga,
of the good old fire-spewing ‘The News’
but who is now an acute BATist
and a Professor of BATification condemned all these as ‘Infantile
obsession and display of utter desperation calculated attempt to shamelessly
whip up public sentiments’
So what to do? We URGENTLY need
a National Commission for National
Apologies & Reparation( NaCNAR). Their responsibilities are to identify all those whom we, as a nation, had
erroneously accused and condemned of
wrongdoing , apologise to them in a
national ceremony beamed life to all the world and even beyond, especially as
some of them have transited to great beyond, pay adequate reparations to all of them, and serve as a mind-guard to
ensure that we do not go back to our evil ways of condemning the innocent.
The NaCNAR should be FULLY independent and their budget should be
a first-line charge on our treasury before debt servicing consumes everything! Since the NASS will waste time and considering the urgency of the
matter, I suggest that an executive order(EO) be issued establishing NaCNAR and outlining their
responsibilities. This Executive Order should be patterned after the first EO ever
issued( Jonah, 3: 5+) in content, tone and body language:
‘The
people of Nineveh decided that everyone should fast, and all the people, from
the greatest to the least put on sackcloth
to show that they had repented. When the
king of Nineve heard about it, he got up from his throne, took off his
robes, put on sackcloth and sat down in ash and sent out a proclamation… all
persons, cattle and sheep are forbidden to eat or drink, must wear sackcloth,
pray earnestly, and give up wicked behaviours and evil actions. Perhaps God
will change his mind and stop being angry’
This way, the offended, both living and dead,
will be appeased and our global rating
in compassionate and ethical governance will rise while God will relent
from inflicting further Tinibulation
on the repentant nation and its citizens
Other
Matters: Happy New Year
Yes, Happy New Year. November 3rd was the first day of the Catholic year and indeed, most of the conventional. It marks the beginning of season of Advent, the period of awaiting and preparing for Christmass and then, the ultimate coming of Christ. The four Sundays of Advent focus on Hope, Peace, Joy and Love.
So, Happy Advent and Happy New Year. If the New Year part is not
acceptable to you, Go To COURT!
