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.

Among His Peers, Oba Orin Saheed Osupa Stands Out : The Fuji Star’s Storytelling Legacy

By Alhaji Arems

 

In the vibrant world of Fuji music, where the artistry of storytelling and cultural commentary thrive, Saheed Osupa has carved out a unique role as both an artist and an influencer of thought. Recently, his name has been lighting up social media discussions and generating significant buzz—not just because of his music but because of the depth of his words. Osupa’s trending status is rooted in his ability to subtly address pressing issues, particularly those surrounding the ongoing tension between fellow Fuji musicians Taye Currency and Pasuma Wonder.

 

 

Osupa’s recent contributions to this situation have not been straightforward; rather, he has adopted an artistic approach, using parables and proverbs—sometimes through complex storytelling—to impart wisdom. These nuanced messages, often hidden within his lyrics, resonate with fans who appreciate the clever way he brings age-old Yoruba wisdom into contemporary issues. One notable example involves a story about an animal (traditionally symbolizing patience and resilience) that many believe reflects Osupa’s thoughts on rivalry and pride. Through this parable, he seems to suggest the importance of self-reflection and restraint, especially in the heat of conflict.

Among His Peers, Oba Orin Saheed Osupa Stands Out : The Fuji Star's Storytelling Legacy

By Alhaji Arems

In a genre that values not only musicality but also the power of words, Osupa has long been seen as a master of *itan*, or storytelling. His recent songs echo the traditional Yoruba way of imparting wisdom through tales that serve as lessons. This is a skill that few artists have mastered, making his approach particularly impactful in today’s fast-paced digital world, where nuanced messages can often be overlooked.

Beyond the Taye Currency-Pasuma Wonder issue, Osupa’s trending status is also due to his reputation as a voice of reason and maturity in Fuji music. As a genre that is often vibrant and full of competitive spirit, Fuji has its share of rivalries. Yet, Osupa has often stood out by promoting unity and peaceful dialogue among Fuji artists. By sharing these reflective stories in his music, he adds layers of meaning that fans continue to unpack and discuss, drawing new audiences who appreciate both the artistry and wisdom behind his words.

The charm of Saheed Osupa lies in his timeless approach. In a world where trends are fleeting, he reminds fans of the importance of timeless values, urging reflection, humility, and understanding. As fans interpret and share his latest stories, Osupa’s message continues to resonate widely—proof that, in Fuji, the power of words can be as influential as the beat of the drum.

The Coalition of Civil Society Groups against Terrorism in Nigeria has congratulated Major-General Olufemi Oluyede on his appointment as the acting Chief of Army Staff, (Ag COAS, Nigerian Army).

Coalition Congratulates Oluyede on Appointment as Acting COAS

The Convener of the Coalition, Comrade Oladimeji Odeyemi, in a statement, said General Oluyede has the responsibility to consolidate the success achieved by the Nigerian Army under General Taoreed Lagbaja.

President Bola Tinubu had on Wednesday, October 30, appointed Oluyede as acting COAS pending the return of the indisposed substantive Chief of Army Staff, General Taoreed Lagbaja.

The Coalition said his appointment is a welcome development. It said: “Major-General Olufemi Oluyede is well qualified for the position. He was a member of the 39th regular course and commissioned as an officer in 1987. Aged 56, he was promoted to the rank of Major-General in September 2020. A professional and top-notch security expert, he brings a lot of hope and inspiration to younger officers as acting chief of Army Staff.

“His appointment is the way to go. As the acting Chief of Army Staff, Oluyede has the responsibility to lead an army that will administratively manage the institution, consolidate on the success achieved by General Lagbaja and his team to mop up remnants of insurgents, bandits and the ragtag criminal elements in the North, and dismantle the ethnic militias in the Southeast to bring peace in the country.

“The 56-year-old Oluyede shares a long history with General Lagbaja, with a track record and excellent service to the nation. Both are members of the 39th Regular Course and were commissioned as officers in 1987.

“Oluyede’s meritorious career began as a Platoon commander and adjutant at 65 Battalion, advancing to Company commander at 177 Guards Battalion and later Staff Officer at the Guards Brigade and commandant of Amphibious Training School.

“Oluyede has been part of many notable operations, including the ECOMOG Mission in Liberia, Operation HARMONY IV in Bakassi, and Operation HADIN KAI in the Northeast, where he commanded the 27 Task Force Brigade.

“He has received honours, including the Corps Medal of Honour, and Grand Service Star, all recognition for passing the Staff Course and membership in the National Institute, and his dedication and achievements in service.”
