I Understand What You Face Daily Supporting The Man From Daura.

Dear Compatriots,
I remember in 2015 during the last election , I was then staying with guys in a building of 6 flats and surrendered also by other similar buildings of the same number of flats. We were all from the eastern part of Nigeria. Very interesting community of understanding, hard-working and intelligent guys, but guess what; I was the only Buhari supporter in their midst. It was not easy facing them even as they nicknamed me Buhari's first son for my firm believe in most of his ideals. I miss them so much. They are very understanding and cool guys. In the midst of this stiff opposition , I stood my ground not because I found a perfect man in the person of Muhammadu Buhari. I strongly subscribe to his passion and dreams to build and sustain a better country devoid of looting and impunity.


I can understand the heat you take trying to defend Buhari especially if we come from the same part of this country where I come from. I am aware that you took up this challenge not for what you will gain or anticipate. You don't have to tell me that you are doing this out of love, passion and patriotism for your country. Yes I know and I can see it in the way you express your thoughts and the bashing and provocations you receive without going low to their standard. It takes a lot of guts, restraint and maturity.
What about rejection? Let me talk about it; I know you have lost friends and good will from friends and family. I know that they only accusation brought before you was your resolve to stand for the truth, reject people who want to maintain the status quo so as to destroy your country. Because you said no to corruption and impunity, you have been rejected and branded with name like "efulefu" and "Fulani slave". I know your origin have been questioned a number of times. The bitter part of it is that you have been referred as a hater of your people which is an absolute lie. How can one hate his people? It's unthinkable. Like the innocent lamb being lead to be slaughtered, you refuse to give up on PMB and Nigeria.
I know that many times, you have considered giving up the struggle because of the names they call you and what you face daily. Don't ask me how I know because I feel you. I know that many have given up and joined in their sweet song "bring back our corruption" I do not honestly blame them, the heat and pressure is too much of which only the strong like you can withstand. I am also among you and I also face all these pressures, humiliation and rejection. Therefore, I am not an outsider. I am involved and therefore a victim but like Apostle Paul said in Acts 20:24, "But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God" Do not be moved. Those who use to love me so much have looked me in the face and tell me how disappointed they are in my person for supporting Buhari who they claim hate us with passion. In my quiet times, I always ask what crime I have committed? As a very emotional person, sometimes tears roll out of my eyes. While I encourage myself, I know that those tears made me strong to believe more in my convictions.
In all these one question keeps propping up; Must I hate someone along with you?
Looking back, one of the many crimes that you committed was your resolve not go back to Egypt irrespective of the beautiful garlic and onions there. It was a place of bondage and afflictions who insisted. But I have come to encourage you with this message.To you Uche Diala, Zara Gift Onyinye,Nneka Okeke, Ugochukwu Arinze Ifeanyi Hester Prince Jubilee Ibekah, Sunday Wale Adeniran,Francis Chukwunenye Onyi,Obih Okechukwu, Kabir Muazu Gimi,Rita Umeh, Lauretta Onochie, Lynn Carson and many more I cannot mention, You are on the right part. The part to a nation with solid foundation and enduring prosperity. The part of restoring our lost values. The part to community service and sacrifice to one's nation. You are indeed a rare gem. I salute your courage. You are a true patriot. Continue in your good works, talk to more people like I do daily, if you educate them enough, they will understand and have a change of heart. I have amazing testimonies. To those who left us because of intimidation from friends and family, please come back and let's continue in our journey of restoring the lost glory of a one time envy of the entire black nation and the world at large.
Lastly, let winning or loosing 2019 election mean nothing to you but on the ideals you have stood for all these years. One day, they will look back and commend you for not sitting on the fence. What is paramount is where you stand and standing for what is right. I believe it's a struggle between too strong convictions. A struggle between support for corruption and impunity and absolute no to corruption and impunity. I am so sorry for writing you so long a letter, but today, I once again declare my stand. I expect you to do the same. I support President Muhammadu Buhari. What about you?
With much respect.
Yours Sincerely,
Arthur Nnaemeka

Anambara State And The Charles Chukwuma Soludo Template

  The template Professor Chukwuma Soludo is bringing to the table in Anambara is fantastic if implementable. But it will definitely be a hard nut to crack. As a professor of Economics, Prof knows that there is a political angel to governance and not everyone is master in this regard. If you are a student of politics, you should be conversant with the word "Realpolitiks" It's German term meaning "the politics of reality." The term is used to describe tough and engaging power politics with no room for idealism or any form of moral or ideological considerations. Not many politicians are masters in this field. The question is; can Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo wriggle and flounder through the muddy waters of hardcore politics. Former Lagos state governor Ambode comes to mind. This interplay between the Political Ideal and Reality is the major reason why politicians and political parties fail to fulfil their campaign promises. Remember that politicians all over t...

Nigeria First World Cup Match in Russia, The Mocking of a Great Nation and Bitterness Taken Too Far.

Can't we have some moments of fun just like many other countries of the world? Is foolishness only resident in the Nigerian youths? Must we use every single thing to show bitterness, exhibit our youthful exuberance and then play politics to show how much we hate our nation or the person (s) at the helm of affairs. It's really getting too nasty for my liking. Nigeria is not the only nation that lost their first game in the ongoing World Cup in Russia and not the only country to have done so since the inception of the World Cup. Rejoicing and making merry that your country lost and insulting the person of your president is not only shameful, but despicable, contemptible,atrocious, disgusting, iniquitous, diabolical, criminal and politics of bitterness taken too far. Losing the first game of the tournament could be fatal, but not that it's over. In the past World Cups, many teams lost their opening games and still made it to the second round. I remember that Ghana in 2006,...

When China executed 26 of her corrupt officials.

China is world's leading executioner. No mercy. The history of the  death penalty in China, is deeply rooted, dating back thousands of years. Political philosopher Shang Yang (390-338 BCE) was among the founders of Chinese legalism, a classical school of thought, and known for advocating a stronger judicial system. China still practice it till today. Research by Amnesty International in 2010, 23 countries use death penalty for different crimes including the United states. People and nations have argued that the method is cruel and inhumane regardless of the crime committed. Here In Nigeria, many people are advocating death penalty for corrupt government officials for the pains they have inflicted on the masses. However, it should be noted at the same time that there is only one issue that can be used as a litmus test for humanism and that is the death penalty. Do you want this in Nigeria to check corruption and corrupt officials?
