THE SENATE ANTI-RESTRUCTURING VOTE, BIAFRA AGITATION AND THE REST OF US. By Charles Ogbu This is certainly not the best of time for Nigeria. And most certainly not for the advocates of #OneNigeria as Tuesday's "No Devolution Of Power" vote at the floor of the Senate appears to have finally given a very serious form of institutional credence to the assertion by the Nnamdi kanu led Biafran movement that the Nigeria state is unsalvageable. But beyond the rhetorics and verbal gymnastics, there are some wildly held opinions which the Senate vote has simply elevated to the status of fact. Here are some of them: 1: It is not the Senate as an institution that doesn't want a restructured Nigeria. It is the North as a region. Sadly, long years of military rule championed by mostly northern military officers have succeded in skewing the political equation of Nigeria in favour of the North. As it stands now, the North is in a default position to hold the rest of the country to ransom and that is exactly what is happening. She gets whatever she wants no matter how scandalous such a want might seem and she ensures that what the other region wants doesn't see the light of day no matter how fair and just such a want might be. Even with the combination of the numerical strength of southern lawmakers, the North still has the veto power. North East Development Commission bill was passed into law almost before it was even presented on the floor of the parliament. But, a bill to "gift" Lagos state with special status was killed. A bill to set up a development commission for the southeast was equally shut down. Before the adulterated version of PIB was allowed to pass 2nd reading, northern lawmakers made sure that Kano and Kaduna were included as beneficiaries of the Host Community fund even when those two northern states do not produce even one litre of oil. 2:No form of re-organization of the political and economic structure of the Nigerian state a.k.a restructuring, can be effected through the existing constitutional structure. The status-quo is terribly skewed in favour of the only region (North) currently benefiting from it. The Yorubas want true federalism. The south south want to be in charge of their resources. Igbo elders want a well restructured Nigeria where every region will be able to harness her full potentials and develop at her own pace. Igbo youths, under Nnamdi kanu, is agitating for a total separation from Nigeria because they believe the North which holds the numerical advantage in every facets of state institution here would never allow for restructuring. Under close examination, the aspirations by the aforementioned peoples/groups are not mutually exclusive but the bitter truth is that no amount of sophistry and beautiful poetry robed in flawless grammar will give us restructuring. It was the height of naivity in the first place to assume that our Northern neighbours will willingly relinquish the undue advantage their military heads of state gifted them with, without a fight. The North will never allow for a restructured Nigeria UNLESS she is confronted with an alternative such as a determined quest for a referendum by the other component units. It is at this point that we must all admit that the leader of Indigenous People Of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has been right all along. The action of the Northern Senate caucus has further legitimised the Biafra struggle. Above all, it has buried the argument that the Biafra strong man, Kanu, should use institutionalized politics to push his quest for a referendum. Contrary to a very popular Igbo saying, what the young man, Nnamdi Kanu, saw while lying down, the elders have failed to see even while comfortably perched ontop of iroko tree. Our biggest mistake was antagonizing the IPOB leader rather than seizing the momentous occasion his Biafra agitation gifted us with to demand in practical terms, an end to the grave injustices and institutionalized daylight roquery in the Nigerian system. How can it be that an "Emeka" from Akpugo-Nkanu in Enugu state must score not less than 120 to get admitted into federal govt unity college while an "Ibrahim" from Daura in Katsina state only needs to score 10 to be admitted into the same unity college......in the same country? And paradoxically funny enough, this same Ibrahim will most likely end up as the president of Nigeria even if he decides not to finish his secondary school education while the more intellectually endowed Emeka has less than 1% chance of even getting a job at the end of his academic sojourn?? Why should a state like Kano have the right to operate a parallel system of govt with sharia court (judiciary), sharia police known as the Hisbah working under the office of the governor (Executive) plus another very powerful body known as the Sharia commission (legislature) in the same country where Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, was almost crucified for setting up a security outfit to confront the marauding fulani herdsmen?? Institutionalized injustices such as these should be unacceptable even by the lowest moral standard of natural justice. The enemies of Nigeria are not those pushing for her balkanization due to entrenched injustices in the system. The real enemies are the beneficiaries of the unjust system who have sworn to allow neither restructuring nor a referendum for us to determine our future. It is very important that we always remember this fact. The fact that the advocates of restructuring are yet to hit the street in protest over the Senate action is a grave indictment on their seriousness and collective resolve as a group. One thing is certain, the maintainability of the status-quo IS NOT an option. Eventually, something must give. The position of not just the Igbos but every southerner today DOES NOT call for political correctness. By making a comprehensive restructuring of the system impossible, the North is only making the complete balkanization of the country inevitable. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Restructuring, call for true Federalism is the right thing for us to do as citizens of this country right now. Its the only way forward. Biafra agitation should be be channelled towards the above stated goal. |

Meanwhile, fellow citizens of Nigeria. Pardon me for having to deviate from the topic...please I'd like to solicit your support on behalf of one of my protégés. I am a teacher. She is contesting for a scholarship position at the Royal Arts Academy courtesy Emem Isong. She needs as many votes as she can get right now. The contest is a very stiff one. So please help her to take a step closer to her dream of being a movie director by following her unique link below and vote for her. You are free to also drop a comment. I assure you, your vote is not wasted. Thank you and God bless you. Here is her link; http://www.thesparkng.com/rookie-contest/?contest=photo-detail&photo_id=54772 |

dudebuck: The only wicked and heartless person here is you. Why? You have failed to address the source of your problem, instead you are looking for ways to blame others. Na una way be dat. How many people from your region were made Ministers of Transport and Aviation within the last 15 years? Name them. From Kema Chikwe, to Ojo Maduekwe, to Stella Oduah and now to Rotimi Amaechi. Why didn't they do something about it? Flying from Enugu direct to London or America, is a function of which type of airlines operate direct flights between Enugu, and those places. Last time I checked, Ethiopian Airlines operated international flights from Enugu to foreign countries, but with a stop over in Addis Ababa. What have your SE ministers done to ask other airlines to operate direct international flights from that airport? As for Onne, when was the last time you visited the port? The draft in Onne port is deeper than Apapa port, so what do you mean by large ships cannot berth there? There are two major Terminal facilities at Onne Port Complex. These are the Federal Ocean Terminal (FOT ) and the Federal Lighter Terminal ( FLT ). NPA Receives WAFMAX Vessel At Onne Port | 3 Likes 1 Share |

Warship: Don't mind that dundee of a guy But just a quick reminder: Nigeria did not loose its soldiers defending its boundries in 1967 to 1970 only to freely hand over biafra to one albino bonobo monkey from UK in 2017. If you want to achieve your phantom criminal biafra, you will have to do more than beating your chest under the sun in the in the streets of aba or onitcha Pick up arms and fight a proper war and win this time, so that you can conviniently carve out any part of zoogeria you want to attach to your criminal Biafra land, if not all this online masturbation will only waste your useless time. 2 Likes 1 Share |
