NIGERIA: THE WAY OUT IS THE TRUTH VI-VIII –BY CHRIS MUSTAPHA NWAOKOBIA JNR.

"EVIL is falsehood presented as truth, and hinged

on the bias of religion, region and partisanship.

And Heaven is liberating TRUTH received

indiscriminate of creed, clan or ethnicity."

- CMN Jnr.

If we truly seek HEAVEN as a nation, we must first accept to be guided by the TRUTH. Heaven in this context is progress, prosperity and peace. Nigeria will continue to grope in the dark until we make TRUTH our moral compass, forthrightness our creed, and integrity our governmental minimum.

On my Facebook wall, reacting to the news of the famous ANTI-CORRUPTION Party, the APC settling for former Governor, Come-Raid Adams Oshi-omo-ole as sole candidate for National Chairman, I noted, "APC Chairmanship, ANTI-CORRUPTION and OSHI-OMO-OLE'S Sainthood..As you defend, please remember that Abacha wasn't convicted by any Court." However, typical of partisans some jumped in defense of the incoming APC Chairman, and you ask, do they really mean to fight corruption?

Are you aware that the EFCC has refused to investigate and prosecute Oshi-omo-ole despite the plethora of petitions against him? And why does it not matter that the ANTI-CORRUPTION administration of President Buhari settles for him? Before you give me the, 'innocent until proven guilty' refrain, was Abacha pronounced guilty by any Court in Nigeria? If the APC could release names of persons not convicted by the Court as looters, why not call a spade a spade? What is wrong with us?

The corrupt cannot fight corruption, do not be deceived. We must organize to take back our Country, and rework our moral margins. 

NIGERIA: THE WAY OUT IS THE TRUTH VII

"Any man's death diminishes me, because I am

involved in mankind; And therefore never send

to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee."

- John Donne

I write this HARDCORE Truth with tears in my eyes, I write without an ounce of political correctness or equivocation. And I write with little or no reservation, as I pray that those who defend the killings across the Country and the killers, meet with the same fate as the dead.

May all those who politic with human lives and property, meet with the karmic recompense of their wickedness; may all those who overlook the killings and bloodshed in the land meet with the same fate as the dead; And may peace elude those who having the authority to curtail and control this madness, have elected passivity and cruel gradualism.

I write regarding the increase in bloodletting across the land, and even more harrowing and sordid are the tales emerging from the States of Adamawa, Plateau, Taraba Zamfara etc within the past 72 hours. If you are not angry enough to speak up, and speak out against the fouling of the space with human barbecues, and if for political correctness and partisanship you have chosen to look the other way, may your lot be no better than that of the victims of the inaction of Government.

When you defend a Government that blames the opposition for her failure, ditto the wanton plunder of lives and property, then you have lost your soul and essence, and you must seek divine forgiveness.

If the primary duty of Government is the protection of lives and property, then the time to RISE above blinding politics and partisanship is NOW. Human lives must come first. We must organize rather than agonize, and mobilize to stop this Shenanigans. A NEW, A BETTER & A PROSPEROUS NIGERIA IS POSSIBLE. 

NIGERIA: THE WAY OUT IS THE TRUTH VIII

"Seeing the photo of the slain kid in Barkin Ladi,

Plateau State, of a kid obviously less than 3 years

with deep gashes in the face, left a gash in my soul,

a gash in my heart, and a gash in the human

essence, a gash only TRUTH can heal."

- CMN Jnr.

I remember that a few years ago some of us who fought the PDP and profusely opposed the Jonathan Presidency stood up to be counted against the drift of the State to anarchy. Some called Jonathan CLUELESS. And we obliged them, because CLUELESS is a Head of Government that allows unbridled corruption, and the wanton loss of lives and property.

With the spate of bloodletting and carnage across the Country, particularly in the Middle Belt, with the level of poverty in the land, and with the increase in corruption ditto the increase in fuel subsidy even with the fuel price increase from 87 to 145 naira, and the endless blame game of Government, the synonym of CLUELESS may just be trite.

BRAINLESS is a Head of Government who cannot take responsibility for the failure of his Govt. BRAINLESS is a Government that blames the opposition for the carnage in the land, whereas it controls the Security Architecture. BRAINLESS are those who juxtapose the life of Cattle with human lives. And BRAINLESS are those who defend the indefensible.

I really do not care what you think about this truth, but like I fought against the CLUELESS one, I shall for the good of Country, fight the BRAINLESS one. To those who are yet deceived by the lies of the present Government, it may interest you to verify this.

1. 87m Nigerians are in extreme poverty today.

2. 6 Nigerians become extremely poor every minute.

3. Nigeria overtakes India with the world's largest extremely poor.

4. 11m Nigerians lost their job in 3 years.
