2010 National Honour Award List! Why's Ibori's Name Not Included?
Written By Sunday Njokede
The National Honour Award in Nigerian is the assemblage and advertisement of the rejects in our society and a showcase of the 'gangster's paradise' community, yonder. You get the same depressing sense of sickness every time you meet a pastor flying in private airplane while ghetto people and their children who pay his bills via offering, live in stark poverty. If you gather our National honour winners and pastors who spend the thrift of their congregations for self-serving interests, you get a perfect tribe of Biblical Sodom and Gomorrah people in Nigeria. I now pass the microphone to Dora Akuyili, the information minister as per re-branding the outcasts who have won the nation's award with runaway successes.
Our National Honour list became the one for nuisance value since when the Obasanjo political class stormed our political places in 1999 like the Pharaonic plagues. Since then the Honour List has become the yardstick by which conventional wisdom measures roguery, economic hit men and women, corruption heavies, profiteers, ratbags, playboys and playgirls. Hardly has decent people won our national award and when socio-centric people like Chinue Achebe win, they reject it because they're shamefaced to be categorized alongside their wayward peer winners who dotted the award lists since 1999.
Ibori. How'd president Jonathan Goodluck explain to history, and future generation of Nigerians that Ibori's name is missing from the National Honour list he claimed was compiled by late president Yar'Adua before he died? It's also no small wonder that Mike Aondokaa's name is more so, not on that list. Unthinkable! Our president seems to be raising the bar of deception as well as moving and shaking statecraft the Machiavellian way. He tells you everything he does is in the interest of Nigeria including: knocking-about with aimless abandon abroad, official human trafficking of Nigerians en masse to Canada and sundry places. His newest nationalist goodwill for Nigeria is the by-now National Honour list that is full of criminal Mafia and misbehaving thieving class. We should all kowtow on bended-knees Chinese-style and thank Jonathan Goodluck for the massive achievements he has recorded so far on our behalves since he took over statecraft.
I call it the National Horror List. It is an influence-peddling venture dressed up and misconstrued by Jonathan as national honour. He's under burning compulsion to settle and compromise our political lowlifers and sundry people to play 2011 presidential election ball to one side. The president has no scruples masturbating our statecraft for his personal self-aggrandisement of 2011 presidential election, to the detriment and shortchanging of other presidential candidates. As sure as egg is egg, Jonathan will vie for 2011 election. Forget about his rigmarole and political brinkmanship of false modesty of not knowing whether he'd vie. The same old-school delay tactics employed by ex-president Obasanjo to announce his interest in the eleventh-hour. That kind of pretension no longer cut ice with the Nigerian masses who are thankful to Saharareporters.com for opening their political eyes.
Late president Yar'Adua must be turning in his grave that the names of his frontline men were excluded from Jonathan's 2010 National Honour list. The deceased ruler should by now be cursing fire and brimstone to consume the present administration for the disservice of omitting his foxhole buddies from the list. 'Jonathan don fall Yar'Adua hand' like streetwise people from Delta and Edo would say to badmouth Mr. Jonathan for stabbing his late master on his back.
There's nothing that sits right with the 2010 National Honour list. James Ibori would no doubt, be in the front row of any honour list that'd have been handpicked by the late ruler friend of his. In addition to that, Mike Aondokaa would have been the chairperson to such committee picking. Whereby he'd have shamelessly apportioned the choicest titles to himself and ilk of Yar'Adua friends and hangers-on. Is either the list was not compiled by Yar'Adua or that Jonathan Goodluck removed Ibori and Mike Aondokaa's name therefrom. So the speculation by Jonathan's regime that the list was finalised by the late president is suspect, and does not hold water by any conventional standard.
Some federal matters that has K-leg or bad nowadays is credited to the Yar'Adua's era. After all, the churn writer David Hardly Chase once said that: The Dead Don't Bite. Jonathan seems to be a pretty good buck passer. His native, and wayo inclination msut've told him that Nigerians and people all over the world would quarrel and lampoon his National Honour list with acidic ruthlessness. Hence he has passed the buck of the 'National Horror' list to the late president. Who'd not envy in the negative, a honour list that has the name of EFCC chairwoman Farida Waziri? Former House of Representative's head-woman Patricia Etteh who was ousted due to corrupt sharp practices is also on the Honour list. Recently, Dora Akuyili, Jonathan's mouthpiece was reported to have claimed that certain government spending was hiked up by the deceased president. Yar'Adua is now this regime's fall man and punchbag.
How could Yar'Adua have included Otedola's name who it's reported, has been pencilled down to finance Jonathan's 2011 election but omitted James Ibori's name: his very close friend who financed his 2007 election that allowed Jonathan the leeway to Aso Rock? The 2010 list should be reworked to include Yar'Adua front-men, the usual way PDP people conduct themselves in their family business. Senator Omisore was in jail when he won election conducted in conventional Nigeria. So what's the heck about not including Ibori and Mike Aondokaa's names because one is now incarcerated abroad and the other, banned from entering the USA? Or is this selectiveness as a result, that both men peppered the hell out of Jonathan Goodluck when the late president's cabal held sway?
Normal and ordinary Nigerians would not care if more of the Farida Waziri and Patricia Etteh kind of PDP Nigerians are added to the Satanic verse of 2010 Honour list. The more wayward citizens make the list the better for the rest of us who have nothing to do with the gathering and recognition of corrupt sleazebags par excellence.
From Nigeria to Europe, America to Japan all over the world, Jonathan's award list would become an international laughing-stock. Politicians in Washington and the European Union will concluded after reading the list, that Jonathan Goodluck is the man for 'Disney Award of Showmanship.' Yes, our president deserves to be the joker of 2010 if those on the list are Jonathan's stand-up men and women. All the goodwill international community imposed on him shortly after inception must have evaporated after they read the caliber of those who made the list. In normal society, Jonathan awardees would be in jail. Most of his awardees are either wanted by EU and USA or have been declared persona non grata by First World countries. Farida Waziri is highly detested by the US authorities plus their European allies.
This administration's National Honour list played directly into the hand of Odumegu Ojukwu's Biafra 'war memo.' Where Ojuku warned leaders not to build monuments for themselves. It's misnomer that sitting officeholders would apportion monuments titles to themselves. But only in Nigeria. After Jonathan single-handedly bestowed upon himself the highest honour in the land, he now extends unmerited titles to president's men and women to pacify their hearts and bribe them for his 2011 election activity.
If 2010  National Honour awardees was chosen by late Yar'Adua, Ibori and Aondokaa would've clinched the topmost honour titles. And if they are not honorees, it means Jonathan must have doctored it, making it Jonathan's Honour List and not Yar'Adua's. And that is why most of Yar'Adua's best men who Jonathan dislikes refuse to make the list.

Michelle Obama And The Nigeria Connection Plus The Alele Love

Written By Sunday Njokede

Her name was Suzzane Alele, a native of Nigeria and a closed-knitted girlfriend to Michelle Obama. Both were roommates as well, while studying at Princeton university in the USA. "She was always a carefree spirit and didn't take life too seriously. Her parents were doctors and she didn't want to be a doctor. She wanted to travel. She never took things seriously - unlike me." Michelle Obama told the story of her dead Nigerian friend to Richard Wolffe a writer and journalist who covered Obama's presidential election.

The double jeopardy of death struck when few months after Mrs. Obama's father died of complication from kidney operation, her Nigerian friend Miss Alele, died as well in 1989 of lymphoma at the age of twenty-five. Michelle was with Suzzane in her last moment when she passed on to Earth Beyond. Mrs.Obama's life was torn apart from the death of her father and Nigerian girlfriend with such quick succession.

After her friend's death, Michelle began to take stock of her personal life. Without much probing she came to the conclusion that she had been on the wrong track derailing like a runaway trail. There was the need do amends and pump her break. "I just thought if I died in four months, is this how I would have wanted to spend this time?" She lampooned herself in desperation. Her Nigerian girlfriend was an easygoing, freewheeling person who had travelled through Asia before she died. Sazzane Alele gave Mrs. Obama a sense of relaxation, taking life easy as best as one could enjoy the short time we all have on this earth before on dies.

Michelle's father was a hardliner and an apostle of hard work, a gospel he preached continually to his family. But Michelle fancied the hip hop attitude of 'don't take it personal, easy come easy go' philosophy to life. That was how her Nigerian girlfriend did it right before she died. Michelle Obama concluded that the 'all work and no play make Jack a dull boy' episode would no longer be an option and her station in life. She was henceforward going to loosen up from her tight schedule towards hard work and study and take time out to enjoy herself while she is young. Conclusively, her friend was right and her father wrong on the old-school philosophy of all-work-and-no-play. Luckily, Barack Obama had dated Michelle for months before her father and Nigerian friend died. The presence of this relationship beforehand, soothed her pains from the sorrow of two painful deaths that struck her fast and furious. Barack was himself examining his personal life likewise. He gave himself a red-card for abandoning local politics that humanly touched the lives of lower cadre people.

My Reasons For Pointing Out Michelle Obama's Friendship With A Nigeria:

My aims are buoyed out of a sense of patriotism to our motherland plus, a duty to tell Nigerians en masse that there once existed such amity of love between the US first lady and a Nigerian. Only if Jonathan Goodluck's minders and coaches are abreast of this closeness of the Obama's to Nigeria since way back, he could've used this relationship to strengthen our ties with the USA when our president first visited in his first leg. Now that the awareness is out, our president will do good to tap into this friendship and up Nigeria's stake therefrom. Nigeria don't need to pay large sums of money this time to influence-peddlers in Washington to whip up popularity for us 'a la re-branding. Our country wasted handsome chunk of money during Obasajo's presidency to Washington image-makers, a design by OBJ to better his battered image and cover up the nastiness he was doling out.

I do know with certainty that the Obamas love Africa and more so, Nigeria with positive passion. The thing that has stifled that relationship is the corrupt behaviour of Nigerian rulers. But Barack Obama is inventing new ways to bypass the stonewall erected by our ruler to attune to Nigerians probably in the spirit of Suzanne Alele. I know if she were to be alive today, she'd have impressed on Michelle to tell her husband to help her country out.

Recently, the US president in his new attempt to extend that somewhat 'Alele' love to the suffering masses has banned Mike Aondokaa and family from the US. More big time crooks would be disallowed from entering the United States in future time. In addition, Washington has warned Jonathan Goodluck to try and jail Halliburton criminals and suchlike or face US sanctions. The big stick from Washington also await Jonathan and PDP if they let 2011 election go the way of the 2003 do or die selection.

It's now left to Jonathan Goodluck whether he'd  jail those named in the Siemens, Daimler, Halliburton and co. Te me why Farida Waziri is still acing INEC if Jonathans is serious about arresting corruption.

If Obasanjo, Atiku, IBB  and co. are still knocking-about freely in Nigeria, Jonathan has no reason to come to Nigerians to vote for him in 2011. The have-nots in Nigeria look up to Michelle and Obama to come to their aids. By extending further, the once booming friendship between Mrs.Obama and her Nigerian friend Suzzane Alele to freeing the masses from the Satanism of our rulers. Jonathan Goodluck has the Central Bank of Nigeria, the military, all paraphernalia of statecraft - would you blame the powerless and moneyless citizens as followers for complacency?
