Nigeria: Of a dissonance

‘‘Whenever a representation acquires a sufficient affective charge, it charges all the representation associated with it, creating a vast complex. Or simply put, the more powerful the emotion, the wider the ring of association included in the complex’’ Basic law of psychology

Definitively, the invocation of the doctrine of necessity to empower Nigerian Vice President Goodluck Jonathan as Acting President and this surprising return of President Umaru Yar’Adua’s under the cover of darkness from a hospital in Saudi Arabia where he has been receiving medical attention for an undisclosed ailment on the eve of a cabinet vote which could have declared him medically incompetent and removed him from power have indeed charged and superimposed a disturbing climate in Nigeria. This unceremonious cabal-orchestrated backdoor-entry theatrics undermines national security, jolting the momentum gathered in his absence and capable of pushing Nigeria towards a directionless streak. And whether or not these new charges will destroy the old or vice versa, is only a matter of time.

This Yar'Adua saga is now getting out of hand. The activities blamed on his wife have now become so fantastic that we have to wonder if we're listening to beer parlour chat.

Nigeria is experiencing its last days as a nation.

 The announcement by Osama bin Laden on 24th January that the Christmas Day bomber was working for his organisation means that north and south can't realistically continue as one nation. The 12 sharia states have taken their own path and the south should graciously allow them to get on with their lives.

On the 8th of January 2010 the Togolese national team - The Hawks - set out for Cabinda, Angola from the Congo to commence their campaign in the African Cup of Nations. A brief domestic risk assesment of this strategy would show that it is fraught with danger. And  it has proved to be a serious error of judgment.

OTUNBA GBENGA DANIEL ADMINISTRATION IN OGUN STATE: AN ASSESSMENT

(SERIES 15)

1. INTRODUCTION
In the first fourteen editions of these series which were published in various national newspapers, DDM, led by Otunba Dipo Dina (D.D. DIRECT), commended laudable strides, where such existed, and unearthed some among the myriad of deficiencies of the Otunba Gbenga Daniel administration. In this series, we shall dwell on “THE PROPAGANDA GOVERNMENT - ANATOMY OF THE PRODIGAL 2”.


 

The Christmas day failed bomb attempt by UMAR FAROUK ABDULMUTALLAB will remain indelible in the annals of world history especially for Nigerians. This act is not only condemnably; it has portrayed Nigerians in bad light anywhere they go. Nigerians are now looked at as potential terrorist.

This is the question her neighbours would ask if Nigeria were a lady of 49 years plus, nearly 50, who started off life so full of promise but ended up with children as thieves, fraudsters, looters in high places as well as terrorists. How else can you explain something that started so beautifully turning into such a mess? Let's look at things from the beginning: From 1914 - 47, British have the bright idea of educating and training 1 section of Nigeria as administrators, teachers and civil servants, while governing the other section indirectly through Emirs.

Nigeria is experiencing its last days as a nation. The announcement by Osama bin Laden today that the Christmas Day bomber was working for his organisation means that north and south can't realistically continue as one nation. The 12 sharia states have taken their own path and the south should graciously allow them to leave. What now happens to the south as a nation when the north can no longer be blamed for its problems.
