HAS SANUSI LAMIDO SANUSI FOUND IMMORTALITY







IN SEARCH OF IMMORTALITY

“A small fact:
You are going to die....does this worry you?” 


It’s safe to say in so many ways we all seek to be Immortal, not that we are not going to die but what should we be remembered for when we die. our vast acquisitions, power, position, streets named after us, magnificent edifices all point to something we want others to remember at our demise that he or she once lived.

It’s been a week or so of events from the uncommon act of The Governorship aspirant Elder Godsday Peter Orubebe celebrating his Birthday with Prisoners in Ogwashukwu, Sapele and Warri Prisons, culminating in an all night of Praise Unlimited at Glory Sanctuary Christian Center Ogbobagbene Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State 6th June, 2014. To the Death of an Amazon of a woman, our own Iron Lady who has inscribed her name in our Hearts   Prof. Dora Nkem Akunyili (OFR) 14th July, 1954 – 7th June, 2014 and the emergence of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the Emir Of Kano.

The secret to happiness they say is living a recommendable life. Definitely Elder Godsday Peter Orubebe will not be remembered at his demise that he owned vast Properties or that he was a former Minister. At 55 he had touched so many lives in so many ways and continue to make a difference in countless lives daily. That I believe is the anchor of his desire to Govern Delta State and bring to bear his style of Leadership by meeting both the essential Spiritual and the physical needs of the people of the State. May God Help him in his quest and continue to grant him Peace of Mind, Good health and Grace in all things. Happy Belated Birthday Sir.

Prof. Dora Akunyili lived her life in such a way that even the undertaker will regret her passing. She has found Immortality in the hearts of Millions of Nigerians.

Love him or hate him, one thing is certain you cannot ignore the man Sanusi Lamido Sanusi former Governor of the Central Bank and current Emir of Kano. What I don’t understand is the relationship between Sanusi emerging as the Emir and what it holds for the Goodluck Jonathan Presidency.

Sanusi without a doubt is a man who knows his politics. His home state is in the grips of the opposition APC and the Emir of Kano the late Ado Bayero has been sick and he knows that the easiest way to win the hearts of the opposition is to criticize the government of Goodluck Jonathan.


So the question is “is Sanusi Lamido Sanusi an activitist who was fighting corruption or simply playing to the gallery?
 to win the hearts of the Opposition knowing that the Governor of his State has the final say on who emerges as the New Emir? I doubt if Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has found Immortality in the hearts of Majority of Nigerians or Citizens of kano as his Installation has been greeted with Protest according to the Press but one thing is certain; there is a great difference between Politics and the Traditional Institution that he now finds himself. it will do the Emir a world of good if he knows and acknowledges this divide. In all it's what we do for others that last, a lesson we must all learn in our Search for Immortality.

KAIAMA DECLARATION - WHITHER THE STRUGGLE

Image
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 ...

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 ...

DELTA EPZ - TOMPOLO BREAKS SILENCE

Image
Delta EPZ and matters arising my take is on justice, equity and fairness – Tompolo So much has been said about the $16 Billion Export Processing Zone (EPZ) which is meant to galvanize Nigeria’s economic growth through adequate gas processing and supply, using our dear Delta State as the hub. For one, I am happy as a Deltan that this laudable project is being planned and nurtured in my time, especially on the heels of our fight for the need by government to industrialize and enhance our economic well-being in the oil-rich Niger Delta Region. Nonetheless, I am not persuaded by the nebulous and loudly-echoed ‘economic and industrial gains’ slogan being orchestrated by some forces hiding under the EPZ Project to re-launch a back-door move for the acquisition of lands belonging to the people of Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State. In this regard, I stand on the side of my people as I have always done, to ensure that the voice of reason was r...
