Dismantling Of Roadblocks In Southeast Nigeria

Recently, President Jonathan appointed a committee to recommend how to create 1 million jobs in Nigeria.

After looking at all the appointees, I recognized a few of them, most notably, Mr. Aliko Dangote and Mr. Earnest Ndukwe.  These two Nigerians have proven themselves as job creators. Mr. Dangote has created thousands of jobs in various industries, including cement manufacturing, commodity sales and even oil and gas. We need 1000 Dangotes in our mist. Mr. Earnest Ndukwe led the revolutionary growth of our telecom industry from barely 500,000 subscribers ten years ago to over 70 million today and growing.

Even though I may not be familiar with the rest of the panel, I am sure the President is aware of their accomplishments in their various fields of endeavor. Most Nigerians dream of a stable and prosperous country. Therefore, we should all join together to support the President and all the members of the committee.

Before I begin this article, let me categorically state that my intent is not to stage a revolution. But if after , you think I have crossed the lines, forgive me. It is borne out of the continuous genocide that Nigerians have long endured from the captors who engage themselves in the reproduction of corruption.

Foreigners are often surprised to discover how religion is deep-rooted in the psyche of the overwhelming majority of Nigerians. When the Egyptian-American doctoral student of Harvard, Sarah al-Tantawi, visited me early this year to ask some questions regarding the impact of Sharia implementation on women, she did not fail to show her amazement at our religiosity.

I am not a soothsayer and my prognosis has no scientific research support, it is based on the analytical framework, a deciphering mind of what has been happening in Nigeria for the past twenty years.

BACKGROUND: WHEN the editor of The Guardian Newspapers, Lagos, Nigeria, Debo Adesina assigned me to do an enterprise story on FIFA and CAF executive board member, Amos Adamu, sometime in 2002, I did not know it was the beginning of a long journey that peaked with Adamu suing for libel in 2007 and demanding the sum of N500 million (A little over two million pounds) as damages.

Dear Sir: Further to our telephone conversation of Monday, August 16, 2010, I write to tell you, once again, that I found it rather insulting to read in your report that I was hired to cover General Babangida's meeting with over thirty journalists.
