Siemens: Yar’Adua orders probe of €10m scandal / for what?

Yes, I asked probe for what?

What is the need for this probe when all Yar Adua has done so far since he became an illegitimate president is to support rogues and looters like Ibori.

Ibori has stolen money from the people of Delta State. He is a friend of Yar Adua and Yar Adua and Mike Aondoankaa are doing all they can to let Ibori escape with the loot and enjoy it.

So, what is the rationale to order a probe into the Siemens scandal?

What will Yar Adua do with the outcome of the probe? I know the answer. He will send Aondoankaa to Germany with several letters on why the corrupt Nigerian officials should not be prosecuted or why they must follow the rule of law to let looters escape.

Please Mr. Yar Adua, stop deceiving yourself, ok! Enough of this rubbish.

Before you probe this SIEMENS case, hold on a while.

Give EFCC all the necessary support to first of all prosecute all the governors who are running around with Nigeria’s money. We don’t want plea bargaining, let them return our money and let them go to jail if they are found guilty in the process.

Follow this procedure for all the governors and for the man who put you in this illegal position, Obasanjo. If you are a man, please encourage EFCC to extend its drag net to the likes of Atiku, Babangida, Buhari and all living looters. AND if the nets entangles you, so be it-on your honour!

When you have done these things, then you can descend on this SIEMENS case which is still fresh and can wait for a while.

In the absence of doing the right thing and first thing first, please you and your spokesman should keep quiet and let’s have our peace until we revolt against you all.

Thank you.

Let us just assume that Mugabe is right. That is to say that the problems in Zimbabwe are caused by the British and their allies. And the reason for this attribution is related to the fact that Zimbabweans took back their land from the British farmers.   

Still, I don’t understand why an 83 year old man would not want to retire from active governance and enjoy the rest of his life in tranquility. It beats my wildest imaginations! Mugabe no doubt has been a hero, helping to secure Rhodesia and transforming it to Zimbabwe. BUT at 83! Isn’t it time to take a break and let some fresh minds and the younger generation take their own future in their hands? 

To me, it doesn’t matter if the problem in Zimbabwe is caused by the British or by Mugabe’s action or heroism against the British; I think Mugabe had stayed too long. He should take a break, retire to his village, watch his great grandchildren play and enjoy the rest of the days of his life. 

One of the problems with leadership in Africa is this sit-tight attitude and the thought that things cannot be done unless “they”- the chosen ones are always present on the stage even unto death. Does anyone remember Abacha of my country of birth? He died in the most useless way a person could die while dreaming of transforming himself into a civilian leader. He was just 54! 

If only someone could tell Mugabe, ok, we know the people of Zimbabwe are suffering not because of you BUT because of the British. Maybe that will help, maybe he will be so happy and retire fulfilled. Maybe that will take a huge load off his weak shoulders. Maybe that will make him go away and rest. Maybe that is all Zimbabwe needs to chart a new course in the interest of the ordinary people who in my opinion are trapped between the devil and the Dead Sea. 

I admit that there is more to this problem in Zimbabwe that meets the ordinary eyes and I agree that several problems in Africa originated from outside Africa. Still, most of the problems will be gone if Africans put their houses in order and seek the interests of the people and country above personal gains. In Nigeria, we say that if there is no crack in the wall, the lizard will not have a chance to penetrate or hide within the wall.  

Africa as a continent is cracked…that is why all manners of imperialist effects are profound and Africa remain underdeveloped for the most. The hope for a developed Africa lies exclusively in Africa. It’s up to us what we do with ourselves. Long live Mugabe! I hope you retire now to enjoy life, you deserve it!

Ok. Finally, one man who has been above the law in Nigeria finally got a taste of the law court. Adedibu was released on bail after been charged for activities capable of breaching the peace in Oyo and the entire country. 

 “The magistrate granted Adedibu bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum. The sureties must own properties in Abuja.”

There was jubilation in Ibadan when the news broke out that the man ABOVE the law was finally getting a taste of the law.

This is good for governance, that people can only be free if they are slaves to the law. It shouldn’t have taken this long to drag this man to the court. But that he was in court at all is a BIG step forward and that move should be applauded.

BUT this is my fear, this whole thing could be a kangaroo arrangement. Mike Okiro could have arranged this with Adedibu to make it seem as if he was doing his job well or to give more credence to the illegitimate government in Nigeria.

The reason for my fear is that beyond this arrangement/arraignment and bail, this man should not be a free man today. He has unleashed terror on innocent people, his activities has led to several deaths and anarchy in Oyo in the past.

It shouldn’t have taken Dora Akinyuli, the NAFDAC Boss, to bring Adedibu to court.

Justice must be done, Adedibu must answer to crimes that he committed. Until then, this whole arraignment and release on bail is too cosmetic. People should pay for crimes, for murder and other heinous activities so as to serve as a deterrent to others who are always bent on going against the rule of law.

Courtesy of the Nigerian Punch Newspaper of Sunday 11th Nov 2007. Here are what typical Nigerian roads look like (Using Edo State as an example).

Road 1.Click to Enlarge  Ugbor Road

Road 2: Click to enlarge   Ihama Road

Road 3: Amadasun road

 These are examples of typical Nigerian roads where you are supposed to drive your car!

Now tell me, how can one useless governor claimed that he spent over 300 million naira to repair these roads. We all know that is a lie.

The truth is Lucky Igbinedion stole all the monies belonging to the people of Edo when he was governor.

Tony Anenih, the former minister for works and housing is also from Edo state. Look at what they are doing to their people!

Isn’t this a big shame? How can we continue like this? Isn’t it time the people wake up and send the likes of Lucky and Tony to jail? How long shall this show of shame last?

And here is another photo below from the Nigerian Guardian: This is Benin-Ore road. This road has been rated as the WORST highway in the world.

Now, Nigeria is the giant of Africa….very funny.

What kind of nonsense giant is that?

I mean, this is one of the richest countries in the world which has conveniently become home to some of the poorest people in the world. AND the people are just looking and living a life of misery, hopelessness and extreme poverty.

These are just examples, imagine if you have to travel round the entire country.

I maintain that Nigerian leaders are fools!!! They are the biggest fools in the world, from the illegal president to the stupid local government chairmen. They are fools and thieves.

They are heartless and mean, they just steal money and care for themselves only.

140 MILLION others are suffering materially, mentally, socially, healthwise and in many more unthinkable ways.

Giant my foot!
