Kindly pardon me henceforth if I don’t respond to partisan jibes and rhetorics. The acronyms have no meaning to me. The political elites, enlitened (educated) elites, upper class with generational wealth & the people in general are the known classes in Nigeria in the real sense.
So permit me as usual to provide the missing perspective on national issues void of partisan coloration. I’m well aware that those whose sentiments are not caressed will always scream blue murder but my tweets will hit the conscience of those it’s meant for (HNIs & the Rational).
A few colleagues abroad were briefing me on the #Amistice and I notice a few citizens were wondering why our President wasn’t in the picture with other world leaders. No worries. We weren’t invited period. Our President was only invited to the Paris Peace Forum. #FactCheck
I very much believe that the President need better advisers on the international scene. I see no nexus between his speech on illicit financial flows & demand for repatriation with issues tabled at the Paris Peace forum. Maybe this is just me.
I see no reason why I will have the audience of 70 world leaders in a Peace forum and all I talk about is illicit financial flows and corruption, especially when the world can see through my presidency and heists being covered up therein. That said, abuse of power is corruption.
We have all seen how brazen the partisan agents within Institution abuse their office to reinforce Regime Security at the expense of the citizenry. One of them is the promotion of false diligence & abuse of immunity.
I have been flying private jets before I was 30 as a consultant. This means of travel was only curtailed of late and from experience, you are not searched on arrival but screened at departure. Whether private or commercial, this is the norm unless there is probable cause.
President @GEJonathan spent a great deal in providing equipment at our airports to ensure this in tandem with global best practices, across airports in Nigeria. Anywhere in the world you are only asked for import duty or checked for drugs on arrival if the need be.
Baggages also go for screening upon arrival having been screened at departure on foreign soil whether through commercial flight or private. Your flight plan arrives your destination with the manifest hours before you land. All passports go through immigration check upon arrival. 
When immigration officers board the plane upon arrival, it is for the routine purpose of collecting passports to correlate passengers with the manifest for confirmation of passengers and never has it been a procedure to search passengers’ persons upon arrival.
In my opinion this is a break of diplomatic privileges of the persons involved. This act alone indicts the protocols of the country the plane took off from as it questions their due diligence and process. Travelers submit themselves to screening & not the oppressive search.
This is a condemnable political “shake down” in my view as we are talking about a former Vice President here. President MBuhari enjoyed such privileges as a former Military Ruler before clinching power. These are dangerous precedents being set and history repeats itself.
This kind of act begins to question the state of our broken down social structure and dearth of safety nets. What exactly does it profit anyone to be a Citizen Of Nigeria? Let alone people who have once served. Is this why corruption is perpetuated to secure the bleak future?
Take a look around the structures put in place by government and see the gaping negligent institutional gaps with unapologetic lack of commitment. Let’s even look at the Civil Registration and Vital Statistics records. What is the true value in these efforts?
Everything we register for in Nigeria (that works to an extent) is never to the advantage of the people. Take BVN- Banking Verification Number, TIN, NIM etc all one way to give the state the power to police and oppress you by taking your resources via police power.
Drivers licence is purely commercial as the concern is basically punitive and a source of revenue. NIM won’t work as it doesn’t guarantee much to take by government but a vehicle to give. You can now understand why it won’t work effectively or would get any form of commitment.
This is also why police Reforms from the perspective of the establishment would never yield any success as it was never designed to Iyke dividend to the people. As we speak the commissioner of Police in Lagos is still ordering his men to abduct innocent citizens via abysmal raids
It is time we ask real question about the perceived Social Contract now that we know that the Civil Registration and Vital Statistics records are Unilateral and has no benefit to the populace brainwashed with propaganda daily by the political elites. What is Government Paying?
Some will mention the dole out through some Programmes of late celebrated by the VP and political party griots. Well, those who are developmental minded know that this need no fanfare and shouldn’t be celebrated unless by those trying hard to sell poverty as a virtue.
In my church for example, I expect the basic respect and regard of a socio-religious contract between the Pastor and the Parishioners (cum the congregation by extension). Those of us that brought the church to its permanent site with our committed giving & professional service.
Our consistent tithes, offerings, pledges, building maintenance funds, and emergency contributions cum the free access to our luxury cars during conventions should at least give us something in return knowing fully well God doesn’t receive these things physically.
Recording a zero dividend in social safety contract across socio-political space is depressing for the citizenry. If you ask me these are proofs of the institutionalization of corruption as sanctioned by the state & clergies. There is neither accountability or transparency.
Now let me finally express my disappointment in the abuse of foreign cooperation protocols by state agents for reasons best known to them even to the extent of descending so low on issues bothering on escorts and international “Runs Girls” (Ölóshó t’oún fò lókè).
While our President stands before 70 world leaders, imagine how they perceive him when New York Times have this flying around. 👉🏽 nytimes.com/2018/11/10/sty…
For those who don’t know how things work internationally as per Interpol Red Alert Notices. I will give you a crash course just to understand my dismay from a nationalistic perspective in the patriotic sense. Femi Otedola or any billionaire for that matter have no access to this.
The rights of use of Interpol red alert notices are reserved for Government and select agencies like Police, EFCC, NAtional Security Adviser etc. so for anyone to be locked up Based on this alert as issued, it is no doubt an abuse of office that MUST be investigated thoroughly.
The Victims (flamboyant Canadian sisters) Jyoti and Kiran Matharoo must be material witnesses in such investigation with the need to reveal their boy friend’s connection with the Givernment of Nigeria or agents within sensitive agencies that must have plunged us into this mess.
Who in Government is abusing foreign cooperation protocols (Red Notices) to prosecute illicit affairs at the expense of the State? It is a juicy content for the Linda Ikejis of this world for a Billionaire to be fighting his Girl friends but when State apparatus are abused...
...we must ask questions. Interpol Red Alert Notices are deployed for serious offenses/malfeasance bordering on murder not frivolous & disgraceful personal issues at the expense of the State. This is more than shameful. Yet we address the world like we don’t have aResponsibility.
If there is anything you take away from this long thread in the spirit of Nationality, it will be to raise the bar and rise up from foolishly defending inanities to asking Critical questions for your children’s sake. These barbarism & negligence will have impact on the future.
...End of Celestial Observation...
