PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY (PDP) BURUTU LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA EXECUTIVE – WHY THE IMPUNITY?

I read in the Vanguard of Wednesday, May 28, 2014 in page 46 this Caption “Burutu PDP Appeals to Muazu” In the story Mr. Asheta Oyabebefa a PDP Leader in Burutu pleads with The Party Charman Alhaji Adamu Muazu to intervene and prevail on the State Party Chairman Peter Nwaboshi to respect the COURT JUDGMENT IN SUIT NO: FHC/WR/CS/189/2013 in the warri Judicial Division.
The question is should court judgments become the subject of pleading with people to prevail on others to see them actualized?
Why do people disobey court orders? Why the Impunity?
The noun, impunity, comes from the Latin roots im- "not" plus poena "punishment," a root which has also produced the word pain. Impunity, then, is the freedom from punishment or pain. If someone has committed a punishable offense but does not have to fear punishment, he or she does it "with impunity."

Next to corruption, impunity perhaps is the worst vestiges of the military interregnum that we still experience in our Democracy. Do we agree with Josefina Vazguez Mota that “we have a circle of corruption and impunity that is too strong”?
Nilantha Ilangamuwa says “If you want to denounce impunity then you have to start with denouncing the impunity that the regime enjoys.”

One of the greatest minds of all time, Albert Einstein, has once said that “The world is a dangerous place not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing”, this way underlining the importance of active participation in processes that are taking place around you. I personally strongly agree with Einstein’s position.

We must take a stand against IMPUNITY and it begins with the resolve that the Court order must be obeyed Join the Crusade The Rule of Law Must Prevail in The PDP Burutu Local Government Area.

POLITICIANS WITH DEAD CONSCIENCE - LIKE YAR'ADUA LIKE SUNTAI

Image
To say Many Politicians do not have a conscience is an understatement, they are callous and wicked. In a Nation of so much poverty, can our Politicians justify entertaining guest with champagne that cost as much as 150,000 Naira a bottle in cartons and on daily basis? Why fly Private Jets in the midst of so much lack? Must they travel in long conveys, even in the face of Fuel Scarcity? Nothing typifies the heartlessness of Many Politicians as much as their failure to pay civil servants their meager Monthly Income. I have stated elsewhere that our failure to ask those we elected or allowed to be selected into Public Office questions is one contributing factor to their display of arrogance and disdain for the masses. Why were the Governors unable to pay Salaries (Including some States that pockets 13% Derivation Monthly)? Governance is all about Management, we knew of the dwindling Oil revenue, how come we were unprepared for it? Yes we hail the so called Bail

THE KAIAMA DECLARATION ALMOST 16 YEARS AFTER ~ WHERE DID WE MISS IT  - Part 1 One of the best pieces of Declaration and one that changed the way the Ijaws were viewed by the Nigerian State is The Kaiama declaration. 11 th December, 2014 will make it 16 years since that Historical document authored by some of the best minds in the Ijaw Nation was made. The declaration had 10 Observations and 10 Resolutions. Where do we stand today viz a viz these Observations and Resolutions I have reproduced here the Historic Document and my Personal deductions in red. THE OBSERVATIONS a. That it was through British colonization that the IJAW NATION was forcibly put under the Nigerian State b. That but for the economic interests of the imperialists, the Ijaw ethnic nationality would have evolved as a distinct and separate sovereign nation, enjoying undiluted political, economic, social, and cultural AUTONOMY. c. That the division of the Southern Protectorate into East and West

TINUBU: IS THIS THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME?

 TINUBU: IS THIS THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME? “Maturity is the capacity to endure uncertainty.” ~ John Huston Finley Nigerians by now are used to the unpredictability of governance as we have endured mostly uncertainty in the past eight (8) years But I think supporters and none supporters of BAT would have hoped for a better way to commence his days in office and not to be welcomed with uncertainty occasioned by a needless pronouncement and the nightmare of fuel scarcity that followed  Having a positive start for the administration would have given the nay sayers the impression that there may be light at the end of the tunnel after all.  The damage control notwithstanding, it's obvious our President is convinced that if Nigerians either directly or Mahmoudly opted to have him as president amidst uncontrolled inflation, bitting fuel scarcity and unavailability of cash due to the ill conceived and not well thought out policy of currency redesign his Party embarked upon, then we are a
