WAY OUT OF THE ONGOING CHAOS IN SOUTH EAST NIGERIA "There can be no justice without peace, and there can be no peace without justice.” — Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., chanted this statement outside a California prison, which was holding Vietnam War protesters on December 14, 1967. One of the root causes of the ongoing chaos in our own Alaigbo (South East Nigeria), today, stems from over 60 years of unimaginable Injustices perpetuated against the Igbo Nation. It appears the Nigerian State is still subconsciously at war with the Great and Good People of South East Nigeria. Ahead of 2023, I reiterate that the Nigerian State is at the crossroads and sitting on a powder keg. Events of the forthcoming 2023 elections will certainly go a long way in determining whether the Nigerian State will be further glued together or collapse. On the sidelines of the 1994/1995 Constitutional Conference, Alex Ekiotenne of RIERPO had argued: "The first question we must answer is if the diverse groups feel this federation (Nigeria) is no longer beneficial, then, we should dissolve peacefully without bloodshed like Czechoslovakia & Soviet Union." The above said, nobody with a decent 9-5 job, a decent business operation in Onitsha Main Market, Ochanja Market, Ariaria Aba Market, Owerri Market, Abakaliki Market, Nsukka Market, etc, a decent roof over his head, will abandon such perks and largesse of life; relocate to the forests; go about burning down his local community, in the name of self-determination, et al. 1930s, America's 32nd President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR), healed America and Americans via his New Deal Policy Program. To ameliorate rebellions here and there, across America, among other things, he invoked the Spirit of Capitalism into average Americans by embarking on a Massive Cheap Public Housing Scheme. The Progressive Thinking was that a man with a decent roof over his head, and in his name, within his local community, is assumed a Capitalist. Such a man won't turn back to burn down his own local community, no matter the grievances. He would rather defend his local community from unwarranted attacks by indigenous and foreign enemies. Way Out Of The Ongoing Chaos In South East Nigeria 1. Release Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, immediately, and unconditionally. Kanu didn't commit no Treason or Treasonable Felony as leveled against him by the President Muhammadu Buhari's regime. Kanu is only but a Prisoner of Conscience. Etymologically and Legally, Treason consists: Levying war against your country and Adhering to your country's enemies, giving them aid & comfort. Those who commit Treason against the Nigerian State are Boko Haram members, ISWAP members and the so-called bandits, levying war against Nigeria and Nigerians, particularly, in the Northern Region of the country. 2. Ahead of 2023, Nigeria's two major political parties, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) must pacify the South East Geo-Political Zone for their over 60 years of marginalization, thus, zoning their 2023 Presidential tickets to the region. Nothing is new in the whole world-- Ecclesiates 1:9. This same thing happened in 1999 via Olusegun Obasanjo of the PDP and Olu Falae of the AD/APP Pact, to pacify the South West Geo-Political Zone for the June 12, 1993, MKO Abiola's Debacle. Doing this, head or tail, APC or PDP, an Experienced Reformer from the South East should emerge Nigeria's next President in 2023. 3. Repeal the Nigerian Police Act, thus, devolving Policing from the Exclusive Legislative List to the Concurrent and Residual Legislative Lists. Through an Act of Parliament, decentralise the Nigerian Police into 37 Independent State Police and 774 Independent Local Police Departments. I will continue to argue until my face turns blue, that the present over-centralised, Abuja-controlled and corruption-riddled Police Force has outlived its usefulness. A man from Biu Local Government Area in Borno State cannot better Police Aguata Local Government Area in Anambra State. The Borno-born Police man who speaks Hausa doesn't understand the Igbo local language of Aguata community. He doesn't understand the local customs and traditions. He doesn't understand the nooks and crannies of the local terrain. The abovementioned factors have already caused a communication lacuna. For the Aguata community in Anambra State, South East Nigeria, it will be Insecurity Palooza. 4. Create a South East Development Commission (SEDC) with sole purpose of massively providing Job/Business Opportunities for millions of unemployed and under-employed Restive Youths in the South East. 5. The South East Development Commission (SEDC) should be funded adequately by the Federal Government, States, LGAs, Foreign Funds, etc, to embark on Massive Cheap Public Housing Schemes across the five States of the South East. Commit at least N5million to N10million per home, and let these homes be transparently made available to the millions of Restive Youths in Alaigbo. Will they pay back in say a period of 10-30 years, the framework will be discussed by stakeholders. Do this and invoke the Spirit of Capitalism into millions of Restive Youths in Alaigbo, just like FDR did with average Americans (especially Whites) in the 1930s. A man with the above perks and largesse of life won't be crying Bohoo Wawa everyday, ranting, cursing the ruling political elites and devising unimaginable means to causing chaos in our own Alaigbo. Dear Ndigbo, and Friends of Ndigbo, let us think deep about these things, as our own Alaigbo is fast transmogrifying into Thomas Hobbes' State of Nature, where life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short. A stitch in time, saves nine. Ikenna Asomba is Co-Convener Pan Nigerians For South East Presidency 2023, he writes from Charleston, Illinois, United States.

 

 

Oyewale recalls that Jesus Christ in his lifetime preached love, peace and above all tolerance and therefore enjoins faithful to imbibe these teachings and put them into practice, irrespective of their religious practice for a secured and peaceful world.

He, however, appeals for continued supports to all security agencies as NAOSRE is tasked to fill the reportage gap between the general public and gallant men of security agencies putting their lives on the line to protect Nigerians.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oyewale, however, prays for the souls of the dead who made enormous sacrifices, writing and fighting to ensure a safer world.

Karma or Cruelty? Asake’s Estranged Father Cries Out for Financial Help After Suffering Stroke

Karma or Cruelty? Asake’s Estranged Father Cries Out for Financial Help After Suffering Stroke

Karma or Cruelty? Asake’s Estranged Father Cries Out for Financial Help After Suffering Stroke

A storm of controversy has erupted on social media after a video surfaced of Mr. Fatai Odunsi, the estranged father of Nigerian music sensation Asake, pleading for financial help after suffering a partial stroke. The emotional appeal has sparked heated debates, as reports suggest that Mr. Odunsi allegedly abandoned the singer during his childhood.

The video, which has gone viral, shows the ailing man calling on Nigerians for assistance to seek medical treatment, his speech and movement visibly impaired. However, instead of sympathy, many online users have reacted with scorn, questioning why he now seeks help when he reportedly failed to be there for his son.

Public Outrage and Reactions

Social media has been ablaze with opinions, with many insisting that Mr. Odunsi should face the consequences of his past actions.

A Twitter user, @Lord_Of_Warri, harshly remarked:
“Let him take care of himself like his son took care of himself when he abandoned him.”

Another, @djtoxiq_, echoed similar sentiments, saying:
“Left him when he was 2, someone that is already a fully formed man. Sir, you could have just maintained that same energy that kept you away from your son.”

Some took a more sarcastic tone, like @Mhajid93, who posted:
“Panel of judges, I’m here to read y’all takes on this. Then compile all and forward to Asake for possible future consideration. Make your takes short and precise. Asake no like long notes. Thank you!”

Meanwhile, @lesh_szajna added fuel to the fire, joking:
“Asake stingy gan. Only those that listen to his lyrics can relate. He can’t even help his own dad—run away from friends and family.”

A Painful Family History?

While Asake has never publicly spoken about his father, sources claim that Mr. Odunsi was absent from his life for most of his upbringing. The singer, known for his hit songs and relentless hustle in the music industry, reportedly built his success from the ground up without any parental support from his father’s side.

Now, as his father battles health challenges, many Nigerians are divided—should Asake offer help or ignore a man who allegedly turned his back on him years ago?

A Moral Dilemma

This unfolding drama raises larger questions about family responsibility, forgiveness, and karma. Should Asake, now a wealthy and successful musician, extend a helping hand despite their fractured relationship? Or is this a classic case of reaping what one has sown?

The ball is in Asake’s court, but one thing is certain—the internet never forgets, and Nigerians are watching closely.

Obasanjo’s Explosive Book: Corruption, Waste, and the Betrayal of Nigeria

Obasanjo’s Explosive Book: Corruption, Waste, and the Betrayal of Nigeria

Obasanjo Unleashes Scathing Attack on Buhari and Tinubu, Declares Nigeria’s Leadership a Disaster

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has launched a blistering critique of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, branding it the worst in Nigeria’s democratic history. In his newly released book, Nigeria: Past and Future, Obasanjo pulls no punches, exposing what he calls the entrenched corruption, gross mismanagement, and outright betrayal of Nigerians under Buhari’s leadership. He further warns that President Bola Tinubu appears to be following in Buhari’s footsteps, and may even surpass his failures.

The book, released last week in celebration of Obasanjo’s 88th birthday, minces no words in condemning the controversial N15.6 trillion Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project, which Obasanjo describes as a financial black hole and a vehicle for massive corruption. He also slammed Tinubu’s government for approving a staggering N21 billion for a new vice-presidential residence amid economic hardship, calling it a ‘monument to greed and waste.’

“What small minds!” Obasanjo fumed. “The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road is a mucky, corrupt project, and yet the President has turned a deaf ear to protests. Instead of focusing on the suffering of Nigerians, we are seeing a display of waste and misplacement of priorities.”

Buhari’s Administration: A Legacy of Corruption and Betrayal

Obasanjo’s attack on Buhari was particularly scathing, describing his tenure as an era that saw corruption flourish like never before. He accused Buhari of using his Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, as a tool to shield corrupt officials while punishing whistleblowers and anti-corruption crusaders.

“The most atrocious waste, the enthronement of corruption, and the destruction of any meaningful anti-corruption effort took place under Buhari’s watch,” Obasanjo wrote. “And his Attorney General, Malami, turned the justice system into a devil’s playground.”

Obasanjo further accused Malami of orchestrating the controversial release of convicted ex-governors Joshua Dariye and Jolly Nyame, who had been jailed for looting billions in public funds. He described their pardon as a disgraceful mockery of justice.

“But for my absence at the Council of State meeting where the pardon was granted, I would have fought against it,” Obasanjo lamented. “This was not justice; it was a well-orchestrated charade to protect political allies and further the legacy of corruption.”

Tinubu’s Government: More of the Same or Worse?

Obasanjo warned that Tinubu’s administration is already proving to be just as corrupt—if not worse—than Buhari’s. He accused Tinubu of running a transactional government where every deal is about personal enrichment rather than national interest.

“Given about two years of President Tinubu in office, it appears that the game of short-changing the over 230 million Nigerians continues,” he wrote. “Everything is now transactional, and the slogan is ‘It is my turn to chop.’”

The former President lambasted Tinubu’s handling of national projects, particularly the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, calling it an overpriced scam designed to siphon billions from public funds.

“Tinubu’s peers are jealous, but that’s not because of any great achievements—it’s because they want their turn at the feeding trough,” he said.

The Presidency and Allies Fire Back

Predictably, Tinubu’s administration has come out swinging, dismissing Obasanjo’s claims as baseless and hypocritical. Presidential aides, including Sunday Dare and Temitope Ajayi, have accused Obasanjo of seeking relevance by attacking every sitting government after his own.

“If, as President for eight years, Obasanjo couldn’t even fix the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, why should we take his criticism seriously?” Ajayi scoffed. “He sees himself as the only Nigerian who knows what is good for the country, but history will judge his failures.”

Minister of Works, David Umahi, defended the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, calling it a ‘visionary project’ that will bring long-term economic prosperity. “People are only criticizing because they do not understand the benefits,” he argued.

Buhari, Malami Silent Amidst Firestorm

As the controversy rages, Buhari has remained conspicuously silent. His spokesperson, Garba Shehu, failed to respond to calls and messages, while Malami only issued a cautious statement, claiming he had not yet read the book.

“If these allegations exist, I will respond in due time,” Malami said. “However, I do not engage in speculation.”

A Nation in Crisis

Obasanjo’s book is a damning indictment of Nigeria’s leadership, past and present. It paints a grim picture of a nation plagued by corruption, misgovernance, and an elite class that continues to loot public resources at the expense of the masses. As the debate over the book’s revelations rages on, Nigerians are left to wonder: Will there ever be an administration that truly puts the people first?

With Tinubu’s government already mired in controversy, many fear that Obasanjo’s grim prophecy may indeed come true—that Nigeria is doomed to repeat the same cycle of corruption and mismanagement, only worse each time.

Sunday Igboho Challenges Court’s Ruling, Takes N20bn Case to Supreme Court

Sunday Igboho Challenges Court’s Ruling, Takes N20bn Case to Supreme Court

Sunday Igboho Files Appeal at Supreme Court Over N20bn Damages Ruling

March 12, 2025 | Abuja, Nigeria — Yoruba Nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has escalated his legal battle to the Supreme Court, challenging the recent Court of Appeal decision that nullified the N20 billion damages awarded to him against the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF).

The legal dispute stems from the violent raid on Igboho’s Ibadan residence in July 2021, during which two people were allegedly killed and 12 others arrested. Igboho, a prominent figure advocating for the secession of the Yoruba region, had sued the AGF, DSS, and the DSS Director, seeking N5.5 billion in damages for the invasion. The raid was reportedly carried out under the guise of a national security operation, but Igboho has consistently argued that it was an unlawful assault on his fundamental rights.

In September 2021, the Oyo State High Court ruled in Igboho’s favor, awarding N20 billion in damages, holding the AGF and DSS accountable for the invasion. However, this ruling was overturned in August 2022 by the Court of Appeal in Ibadan. Justice Muslim Hassan, in delivering the judgment, stated that the lower court had misapplied legal principles in awarding the damages. The appellate court also criticized the lack of concrete evidence, such as autopsy reports, to substantiate the alleged killings during the raid.

In the wake of the appellate court’s ruling, Igboho has now approached Nigeria’s highest court, seeking a reversal of the decision. Through his legal representative, Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Yomi Aliyu, Igboho filed an appeal with the Supreme Court on March 11, 2025, arguing that the Court of Appeal erred in its judgment. He contends that the burden of producing autopsy reports should not fall on him, as the DSS did not challenge the allegations of killings in court.

Igboho also criticizes the Appeal Court for rejecting his claims for special damages, despite providing affidavit evidence and expert invoices detailing the losses suffered in the raid. He further argues that the aggravated and exemplary damages awarded by the trial judge were reasonable and aligned with established legal principles. Additionally, Igboho points out that the DSS and AGF’s response at the appellate level was filed outside the prescribed time limit, questioning the validity of their submissions.

The Supreme Court’s ruling on this matter has the potential to set a landmark legal precedent, particularly in relation to government accountability and self-determination rights in Nigeria. Legal experts are watching closely, as the case could reshape the interpretation of human rights violations and the limits of government power in national security operations.

The Supreme Court is expected to hear the case in the coming months, with all eyes on the judicial process that may significantly influence the future of Nigeria’s constitutional and human rights landscape.
