Nigeria: Don’t vote for any corrupt political party

The controversies and disputes trailing the various primaries of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Opposition, Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) have shown the electorate that the difference between the corrupt PDP and the hypocritical ACN can be compared to wolves in the wild and the wolves in sheep clothing in the ranch.

The only political parties we can give the benefit of the doubt are significantly the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) of the indefatigable presidential candidate Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), the financially challenged Labour Party and other political parties led by notable Nigerian patriots from the academia and industry of the intelligentsia.

President Goodluck Jonathan is a puppet of his Machiavellian master, former president Olusegun Obasanjo. Mr. Jonathan has been doing his best to impress his master, thus exposing his shortcomings and showing that he is not worthy of the mandate of the electorate, because the appalling state of insecurity and the brazen impunity of the corrupt public officials in his administration have exposed his double standards and many no longer trust him and he cannot convince them that he is different from the typical desperate Nigerian politician who is corrupt, incompetent and an opportunist without dignity, integrity or nobility just like his unrepentant master, “the Ebora of Owu”, who believes the ends justify the means. And Mr. Jonathan cannot deny his rake-off from the ill-gotten wealth of the kleptomaniacs controlling the corrupt ruling party.

For decades now, Nigerians have been bedeviled by the bad leadership of rogues in military and civilian masquerades. These kleptomaniacs in power constitute the leadership of the corrupt ruling class at all levels and things have become worse since the ruling People’s Democratic Party is a political party took over political power in 1999 to date .The only solution is to reject the notorious ruling party at the forthcoming polls. Don’t vote for any corrupt political party.

Presently, the CPC seems to be the only prepared and ready to rule political party with a determined and tested patriot who can lead the people in the nation building of a New Nigeria in the leadership of Africa among other nations in the 21st century.
Major-General Muhammadu Buhari was a revolutionary military dictator like Jerry Rawlings of Ghana. But the iron hand of dictatorship cannot be wielded in a democratic state where he would be guided by the checks and balances of a democratically elected legislature and where he cannot usurp the statutory duties of the Judiciary of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.


Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), the indefatigable presidential candidate of Congress for Progressive Change (CPC).

Since his retirement from the military, Buhari has proved to be an incorruptible and resolute public official during his laudable management of the Petroleum Task Fund, and what is more, his choice of the outspoken Pentecostal minister Pastor Tunde Bakare as his running mate debunked the mischievous rumour of his political detractors and ignorant others that he is an Islamic fundamentalist who does not tolerate the beliefs of non-Muslims.

Both Buhari and Bakare share a common belief to produce an incorruptible leadership for the democratic governance of Nigeria for the common good of the citizens. Therefore I believe that the CPC is the beacon of a new era for the reformation and transformation of Nigeria.


I hereby appeal to all well-meaning citizens of Nigeria and the true friends of the nation to rally round the CPC and all the eligible voters should make it a patriotic obligation to vote en masse for the election of Muhammadu Buhari as the next President of Nigeria.

President Jonathan, Rename The Economic And Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) To Meet Our Current Times

News: Nigeria mentioned as former Merrill Lynch Executive James A. Brown Files Supplemental Motion for New Trial



President Goodluck Jonathan

President Jonathan, Rename The Economic And Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) To Meet Our Current Times


At a time when the people of Nigeria live in an ever expanding, complicated and challenging time, national agencies in the areas of security should bear names or designations that reflect instant symbol of authority, immediate sign of power and on-the-spot perception of influence.

During the sweeping reform era in Nigeria by President Olusegun Obasanjo’s post-military administration, one of the national agencies born in 2004 was the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).

As a national intelligence, security and anti-crime agency the Economic and Financial Crime Commission with all of its preventive, investigative and prosecution powers persist in the fight against crimes like money laundry, Bribery, bank financial malpractice, computer crimes, forgery, land fraud, alien fraud, various schemes, scams and other related crimes like terrorism.

However, it is the physical name that is the “Economic and Financial Crime Commission” that bears some questioning and calls for refurbishing.

As a designation, it is too broad, and an all-over-the place term, in regards to the wording, symbol, and delivery. It is a label that has outlived its transitional given name and period.

From the point of symbolic human psychology, a breakdown of most of its respective words “Economic”, “Financial”, and “Commission” as well as the supervisory name, “Chairman” on a face value are collectively suggestive of an advisory board on “Crime”.

Since symbols by definition assume special imagery and functions these long-winded, wordy and boring words unconsciously, consciously, implicitly, explicitly, as well as directly and directly could collectively portrays images of a compensation body, a review forum, a charitable board, a delegating board, a trading house, a conciliation board; operating under a Chairman, as in a commercial or political head.

No one doubts that the EFCC is a statutory authority in regards to its internal and external law enforcement functions. However this does not excuse the inherent and complete vagueness that its name carries, even the it’s acronyms, which present as a bunch of successive letters that equally spell out a mouthful, drag-like and wide-ranging expressions. Of course it is easy for an EFCC officer to scream out “police” as a quick identifier of authority to a suspect or in the course of his or her duties. But that is not the point being made here is this paper.

For example, a new visitor to Nigeria or for many educationally disadvantaged Nigerians the collective name, “Economic and Financial Crime Commission”, and its contracted letters, “EFCC”, might on a face value symbolize anything, or everything else other than the instant representation of power or authority.

The question now is what is a more appropriate name that is conducive to the going expansive and operational functions of the agency?

Mr. President, let’s get right on to it, the new designation(s) being put forward could be called the “Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigation” (FBCI, which equally sounds as FBC), or the “Federal Force of Investigation” (FFI).

Mr. President, unlike the current agency’s vague, and ambiguous name, this proposed new designation(s) is colored with the sign, image and notion of instant directedness and specificity.

There could be is an assuming perception of clarity, distinction and clear-cut depiction of power in the newly proposed name, at least amongst the public and those who serve in the agency.

The new designation appears to align well with the operational, practical and strategic work of the agency.

On a psychological level the new name could help in personalizing the agency as an instrument of fear or uneasiness, and more likely to portray in the mind of any person, fear-arousing feelings and attitude.

The new designation could elicit powerful visualization of controllability embedded in the agency, at least from the perception of those in an offending mode especially.

The visibility of this proposed designation both in print and in the media could arouse a preventative mindset among those thinking of doing bad things.

Along the lines of these new labels, the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the Federal Force of Investigation is the on-the-spot authoritative and up-to-the point sounding acronyms, like the “FBCI”, or “FFI”.

In the same vein, there should be a new label like the “Chief Director” or “Executive Director” in place of the commercially, corporately or politically sounding label of the term “Chairman”.

Accompanying the proposed new designations should be the label of “Special Detective” with driving characteristics of uniqueness, authenticity, professional stance and expert-driven outlook.

Mr. President, these suggested designations, appear congruent with the agency’s continued expanded roles and operations.

These functions include but are not limited to the fight against; treason, fee fraud, land scheme, cyber crimes, cult violence, aircraft kidnapping, sex trafficking, racketeering , medical child abuse, major weapon offense, international money swindling, medical fraud, espionage, sea piracy , terrorism , ethnic violence, and its other works with related law enforcement and investigative agencies.

In our contemporary world, the agency now works within a global context as crimes nationally and internationally are becoming more sophisticated and a daring in form, therefore with the up-to-date new designation like the ones proposed here, the agency’s representation become easier to be recognized globally.

Along these lines, the agency in its ongoing fight against more treacherous and expanded crimes requires an expanded human resource and contemporary technical support, in order to produce top-notch detectives.

The current training Academy in Nigeria might as well bear a new name along the lines of the already noted new labels, the FBCI or FFI. The new name of the Academy could be called the “National Investigation Training Institute” (NITI).

Mr. President, it is hoped that in your position as a 21st century leader that along with the appropriate advisors that you thoughtfully consider these up-to-date psychological and symbolic driven designations with respect to the specified agency.

It is also hoped that the federal legislature in its forward looking posture gives the needed blessing to this apparent aligning designations to an advancing national security agency like the ‘FBCI’ or ‘FFI’, in today’s world.

Who is Afraid of a Bloody Revolution?

Who is afraid of a bloody revolution?

“We need a revolutionary change, a bloody one and those who survive will pick the pieces…corruption has eaten deep and everybody is involved, only a bloody revolution will remedy the situation.

That was how France was saved… if you read about the French revolution, that was what saved France and Europe is what it is today because of the French revolution. I cannot see the country being saved other than through a bloody revolution.”
~ Prof. Ben Nwabueze, SAN, at the occasion of the public presentation of his new book Colonialism in Africa: Ancient and Modern (Volumes 1 & 2), at the Nigeria Institute of International Affairs, Kofo Abayomi, Victoria Island, Lagos, on Wednesday July 7, 2010.

I concur with the erudite scholar and an icon of the incorruptible Nigerian intelligentsia.

The Nigerian intelligentsia is cast between the devil and the deep blue sea held to ransom by a corrupt ruling class ruled by a culture of corruption and a culture of hypocrisy.

There is the despotic corrupt ruling class of the kleptocracy and the hypocritical electorate who do not even think twice to muffle their conscience once they get the chance to dine and wine with the corrupt kleptomaniacs in the corridors of power.

I have no respect whatsoever for both or anyone without dignity and integrity.
It is a gross waste of time to engage in any discussion with these dogs and pigs of the earth.

"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.”
~ Matthew 7:6 of the Holy Bible.

Here we are with a President Goodluck Jonathan whose chief advisers are unrepentant kleptomaniacs former President Oloye Olusẹgun Mathew Okikiọla Arẹmu Ọbasanjọ, GCFR, retired General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma GCON FSS, psc, and his former boss Diepreye Solomon Peter Alamieyeseigha ("DSP").
OBJ is the boss of all bosses of the Nigerian political Cosa Nostra.

They think they are sacred cows or untouchables who are above the law.
But they should be ready for the Judgment Day around the corner.

The solution is the total eradication of corruption at all levels and in all quarters by the elimination and extermination of all corrupt and evil people wherever we find them from the street to the pulpit, from the classrooms to the corridors of public and private offices.

We must not spare evil people otherwise they will continue to perpetrate and perpetuate their evils.
If we do not destroy evil doers, evil doers will destroy us.

Dear Acting President Goodluck Jonathan, Tell that to the Marines

Nigeria's Acting President Goodluck Jonathan

Dear Acting President Goodluck Jonathan, Tell that to the Marines

Dear Acting President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,

The headlines of your presidential order for the manhunt and arrest of Chief James Ibori, the former governor of Delta state are all over the place online and offline.

You have said there would be no sacred cows in the anti-graft war in Nigeria. But I wonder why you have not ordered the EFCC to arrest those indicted in the Halliburton Bribery and corruption case and those indicted in the Daimler bribery scandal?

Are you afraid of these UNTOUCHABLE SACRED COWS?

Lest I forget, what of the sweetest sacred cow in your home. No, not the other woman in your life. Your private love affair is not my business oh.

I mean your CASH MADAM herself, the Acting First Lady or First Lady in Waiting, who has been fasting and praying for First Lady Turai Yar'Adua to return to Katsina state with her medically incapacitated husband and vacate Aso Villa for her BOTTOM POWER.

Is it not on record that on September 11, 2006, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) seized $13.5 million dollars (US) from Mrs. Patience Jonathan when you were the lucky governor of Bayelsa State? She laundered the money through an associate and in August of the same year, the EFCC had a court order to freeze N104 million Cash Madam Patience allegedly tried to launder through one Mrs. Nancy Ebere Nwosu. The EFCC confirmed that in a sworn statement, Mrs. Nwosu implicated Patience Jonathan.

Mr. Acting President, if your Acting First Lady and the other cabal of your ruling party of Sacred Cows can still be dining and wining and wishing you goodluck in your chess of political power to become the next President of Nigeria, then I am shocked that you had the audacity to order the arrest of Chief James Ibori. Is this your own style of the anti-graft war.

Please, tell that to the Marines.

Yours Proudly Nigerian,

Orikinla Osinachi

Is James Ibori the Only Corrupt Politician in Nigeria?

Is James Ibori the only corrupt politician in Nigeria?

The EFCC should also go after all the criminals indicted in the Halliburton bribery scandal.

You can't be looking for scapegoats while former President Chief Olusẹgun Matthew Okikiọla Arẹmu Ọbasanjọ,GCFR, and his former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar (Turakin Adamawa),GCON, and the other million dollar bribe takers are still dining and wining in their mansions and VIP clubs in Lagos and Abuja.

NOBODY SHOULD BE ABOVE THE LAW OR THE LAW IS BULLSHIT.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is Re-Born Again!

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, the former President of Nigeria

Rev. Chief. Olusegun Obasanjo, the former President and twice head of state of Nigeria has been reborn again on Sunday 22nd of March, 2009, at the eight anniversary of the Power Link Chapel of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Lekki, Lagos.

Obasanjo who was accompanied by an elderly woman simply introduced as Mrs. Obasanjo told the congregation how he was born again whilst incarcerated by the late Gen. Sani Abacha, the sadistic head of the military junta that ruled Nigeria in the 1990s. He said the divine intervention of God saved his life, because Abacha actually plotted to kill him as he killed the former Chief of Staff, Maj-Gen. Musa Shehu Yar’ Adua and Chief M.K.O. Abiola, the winner of the annulled 1993 June 12 Presidential election who died in detention. Obasanjo recalled how he converted a fellow prisoner who was a notorious armed robber and murderer, popularly known as “Baba Ali”.
He also made a presentation of his obscure book "Guides to Effective Prayer" that was published in 1998 before he won the 1999 presidential election and became the President of Nigeria. He advised Nigerians on how to pray and trust God to answer their prayers.
