A Call to Arms by Chief Ken

May 20, 2016

This year is the most difficult in recent years for Nigerians. We are faced with circumstances that seem too big to get through. Judging by our present predicament, we should brace ourselves for more sufferings. We therefore have before us today an ordeal of the most importance as we battle to escape the economic hardship gripping us by the jugulars.

Quite revealing is the opinion of David Cameron on Nigerian State. He referred to Nigeria as a fantastically corrupt country where riches are stolen and shipped abroad by politicians.  Nigeria is not only a corrupt country but also a sleeping country where fantastically dirty and clever foreigners cart away profits while the citizens settle for less.

At a time when our ailing economy met corruption at its peak, we found respite in an incoming government determined to stamp out corruption and bring life to our economy.  We can partly celebrate our first anti-corruption themed government in over 2 decades.

However, today, this call to arms isn’t just about our government or corrupt politicians. It is more about David Cameron and the likes harboring our riches in times like this. As we have a serious government determined to end corruption and make judicious use of our wealth, there is a need to recover stolen funds deposited in foreign accounts in the limited tenure of President Buhari.

As a matter of National Security and Public Policy, in this time of economic distress and anti-corruption government, we must take up arms and call on countries harboring our wealth and stolen funds to expedite the recovery process.

As a matter of National Security and Public Policy, we must compel the United States Government and other countries involved to obey the laws of our land and stop taking advantage of systemic corruption to get the better of us.

We have seen many cases where foreign firms offer bribes to our corrupt public office holders to win contracts. We have seen how foreign firms make a fool of our Judiciary by bribing judges to pervert justice and have their way. It is still fresh in our memory how Exxon Mobil bribed sacked Justice Gladys Olotu of the federal High Court.

She put Nigeria to shame in our very novel case where a Nigerian court sat in the Nigerian mission in a foreign country. The sitting in the Nigerian Mission in New York was a unique, peculiar and ground breaking event. It was a novel development in the legal history of Nigeria. Unfortunately that case was marred with bribery and a monumental loss.

In the Federal High Court case (FHC/UY/CS/47/03) Holden at the Consulate-general of Nigeria House, New York, United State of America, the first of its kind in Nigeria, Justice Gladys Olotu took bribes from Exxon Mobil and thereafter re-litigated matters already settled by 2 superior courts. That bribe and injustice done thereafter denied Nigeria a whopping 4.8 Trillion naira. (40 billion US Dollars).

This is exactly how foreign firms corrupt our public office holders to have their way in Nigeria. A collection or pile up of such dirty dealings coupled with systemic corruption has put our economy in a sorry state today.

As our president wields his battle axe against corrupt elements in Nigeria, the law abiding citizens must join the fight and call on foreign governments to expedite recovery and return of stolen funds and as well compel their ambassadors and representatives in Nigeria to act responsibly and honorably.

Nigeria has a powerful jewel worth 4.8 trillion naira. This is pending payment from an American company Exxon Mobil for the use of a Nigerian Invention. The Patent RP13522 is the jewel worth 4.8 trillion naira and jeopardized by sacked Justice Gladys Olotu when she received bribes and perverted justice.

This is a clarion call to all Nigerians to sign a petition to the United States Government to compel Exxon Mobil to stop perverting justice in Nigeria and pay up over 4.8 trillion naira royalties owed Nigerians on Patent RP13522.  

Our policy is to take up arms which can be done by signing this petition and our aim is to receive owed Royalties of Patent RP13522 worth 4.8 trillion naira. Kindly take up your arms by putting down your signature for this just and honorable cause.
