Taking a step to a New Nigeria

A story about Taking a step to a New Nigeria

The states and geopolitical zones should have more relevance in politics than the the old regions because the old regions created Nigeria's historical problems. Devolving the regional powers has taken care of the minor interest groups that were smouldered by regional monstrosities. Minorities must converge at majority positions. This is the new Nigeria we have been waiting for and we are on the threshold of its emergence. The country is unfolding and transforming to a new one with paradigm shifts. This was the goal of state creation and a positive impact of the military era of that time. Thanks to Gowon and his group.

Leadership in Nigeria: comments.

Why I withdrew from Presidential race – IBB

My responses to comments of readers of the above article:

"We are looking for new perspective to leadership: knowing what is right for Nigeria and having the will to do it. What is right is intellectually and experientially distilled from data-based investigations of our national events and peculiarities. This kind of leadership comes from reflective politicians like..........."

"Our elders deserve respect and kind words as we give them words of advice. They have done their best which we may not conceive to be good enough. How I wish those who have tasted power could write or get writers to bring out their thoughts about the past, the present and future. This

is the stuff about leadership. You must think it before you can do it. We accept leaders from the value of their consistent thoughts and actions. All leaders are honourable!"

Back to old tricks in NNPC

The fuel stations are getting dry again. The recurring December national disease is on the prowl. Thanks to the tanker drivers and the recent meeting of the retired GMD with the current GMD in NNPC. I can't wait to see GEJ do something immediately.

Re: Charge Northern leaders for treason – Okpozo

Arresting anybody on the basis of unaltruistic utterances is not a mark of democracy. Let our leaders speak and run their campaigns. That is how we can know who are ethnic chauvinists and who are true nationalists. If Nigeria will survive, nobody who rides on ethnic or sectarian salvo must get anywhere close to national authority or control. Democracy must ensure that such people are excluded from national leadership positions. Awareness of the need for a new brand of leaders is clear and obvious. If you don't allow the politicians to speak, how are we going to know them? The national sovereign conference is already taking place. Every Nigerian is redefining his or her stake in Nigeria. If there is no national etiquette, there won't be a nation. Who is a Nigerian and who is a slave in Nigerian? We are getting to know and the freedom of all Nigerians must be won peacefully

We have bursted the fuel cartel (Vanguard Newspaper)

This is a wonderful revelation that the fuel cartel was bursted. The cartel is bursted, but not dead. These enemies of the Nigerian economy who are fired by their greed must be carefully watched and managed. They never relent and often employ new strategies to achieve their goal. The new approach is to build a debt burden in the sector and later call for servicing of the debt from increased internal revenue from downstream sector. The President wants to fall for it by going for the loan when it is only a trap. The loans will be mismanaged certainly and the burden will fall on the Nigerian people. The sector is looking for foreign investors who will be committed to optimum utilization of their funds and realization of operational efficiency of the project.

The new antic is to build up debt in the sector.Foreign development partners only need to come in as investors in joint ventures. Government cannot manage any loans on our behalf because of corruption. GEJ will not take any loan if he wants our votes.
