Jets, Killed Bills, And Other Pleasures Of Power By Okey Ndibe
Okey Ndibe
Columnist:
Okey Ndibe The major reason political races in Nigeria are marked by high voltage violence is that occupants of political offices see themselves, and are seen, as lottery winners. In the public imagination, public office is simply an occasion to quaff, gorge and luxuriate at public expense. It’s an all-expenses paid pleasure trip with few, if any, duties, tasks or responsibilities.
A friend of mine jokes that he’d start taking Nigerian politicians seriously only when they stop scheming to grab power by all means. “The day it becomes difficult to persuade people to run for various political offices in Nigeria – from local government councilor to president – is the day I’d start respecting those who present themselves as candidates,” this friend – a medical doctor – often says.
It’s difficult to refute his point. Does anybody imagine for a minute that Nigerian politicians hire thugs to intimidate, maim or kill their opponents just to win an opportunity to serve, to improve the lot of people, or to better their environment? Do politicians rig themselves into office out of a desire to transform their society for the better?
Only a fool would believe that this is the case.
Our politicians bring a desperate pitch and deranged tactics to their angling for “elective” offices precisely because political posts offer stupendous material rewards while offering few, if any, challenges. To be a Nigerian president, governor or legislator is to bask in huge perks of office. It is to eat and drink until your belly sags and your neck disappears. If you happen to be a man, it is to poach women on a daily basis, from underage Egyptian teenagers to other people’s wives. It is to live above the law – in fact, to thumb your nose at the law and to mock the misery of fellow citizens.
Last week, Nigerian politicians, from the National Assembly all the way to the Presidency, put on display their patented trite sense of what it means to be called a “leader.”
Nigerians were scandalized to learn that Goodluck Jonathan and his cabinet had approved the purchase of three new jets for the presidential fleet. The Reuters report conveyed a sense of how blasé, disconnected and arrogant these politicians have become. Reuters reported: “The cabinet approved the purchase of two Falcon 7X aircraft from France's Dassault Aviation and one Gulfstream G550 from the U.S. plane maker for the presidential fleet at a cost of $150 million.” Then the news agency quoted Information Minister Dora Akunyili as telling reporters, “After consideration, council approved the purchase.”
If Akunyili ever took care to explain why the presidential fleet needed new aircraft to begin with, it was not reflected in the report. As far as the Jonathan administration is concerned, the presidential appetite for new jets should suffice as justification.
Talk about the relentless pursuit of pleasure for its own sake, and by extravagantly paid public officials who do little or no work to begin with.
It’s sad that Jonathan has chosen to adopt former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s obsession with purchasing new jets as if they were a child’s toys. Think of what $155 million would have done for our universities and polytechnics that lack laboratories and are starved of books and research funds. How about our dismal healthcare system? Imagine how far $155 million would have gone if invested in equipment for our teaching hospitals that, now, often resemble dying chambers.
In a nation as wretched as Nigeria, with decrepit infrastructure and festering poverty, how could Jonathan and his acolytes have concluded that the purchase of three new jets was a priority?
For answer, all we have is that nonchalant statement by Akunyili: “After consideration, council approved the purchase.”
Pray, what exactly does consideration mean in this context? Was there no minister in that room with enough presence of mind and decency to remind the rest of them that there were eminently more sensible ways to spend $150 million? Did nobody have the insight, and courage, to tell Jonathan that he and other office holders were already overpaid, over-pampered, over-indulged – and that it was time to spend less on themselves and more on alleviating the grim condition of Nigerians?
This profligate habit buttresses an essential disconnect between those who pose as “leaders” and the vast majority of Nigerians. Alert Nigerians should insist that any man or woman who aspires to “rule” must first spend a few days and nights in Agege, Ketu, Ajegunle or some of the slummy quarters in other Nigerian cities. Yes, let our would-be presidents experience first-hand where most Nigerians sleep, eat, pee and shit. Let them come face to face with the squalid, mosquito-infested, septic life that is the reality for most of their fellow citizens. Perhaps – just perhaps – this brutal form of familiarization would give members of the cabinet pause when next they sit to “consider” the fatuous idea of squandering $150 million on luxury jets for the exclusive use of a few men and women.
If the cabinet’s approval of three jets was vulgar and thoughtless, the National Assembly’s “action” on a money laundering bill was an instance of political irresponsibility.
Last week, the House of Representatives, as reported by NEXT, “indefinitely suspended consideration” of an anti-money laundering bill. Two days earlier, the Senate had also indefinitely postponed debate on the bill.
It’s not as if the members of the National Assembly are unaware that Nigeria is plagued by money laundering. They know that British police had picked up several former governors and their cache of cash. They know that, in 2004, American authorities tried Andy Uba, an aide to Obasanjo, for smuggling $170,000 on a presidential jet that landed in New York City. They know that former Governor James Onanefe Ibori was arrested in Dubai, and faces extradition to the UK to answer to money laundering charges.
No, it’s not the case at all that the “honorable” members of the House of Representatives and their “distinguished” colleagues in the Senate just arrived from Jupiter and are blissfully ignorant of Nigeria’s money laundering peril. Why, many of their number are longstanding and dexterous practitioners of that game that transfers billions looted from the public treasury into private accounts, domestic or foreign. In fact, certified money launderers are so well represented in the legislative chambers that some ingenious Nigerians have taken to addressing the lawmakers as legislooters.
Make no mistake: the assembly’s decision to file away the anti-money laundering bill was dictated by an instinct for self-preservation. It is similar to the instinct that moved these so-called lawmakers to frustrate the freedom of information bill that would have served greater transparency and accountability. The majority of the men and women in the National Assembly can’t stand the idea of anybody snooping into their affairs, or peeping into the “business” of other public office holders. They prefer to conduct the business of governance in the dark, away from the prying eyes of the people whose resources they steal and waste.
The anti-money laundering bill jettisoned by the Senate and House of Representatives has international implications. According to NEXT, the bill was shaped to meet an “international framework against corruption.” By passing it, the legislators would have served notice to the world that Nigeria was serious about combating private and public sector looters. In pushing it aside, the legislators sent a loud message that they relish the culture of looting and want to see it fertilized and perpetuated.
You’d never see these legislators postpone any discussion about increasing their already over-bloated perks. Hell, no! But when it comes to passing any bill that would have a salutary impact on the polity, they invent all manner of technical ruses and dodges to put the matter on snooze.
That’s why Nigerians must approach the coming elections as a make-or-mar event. Those who seek public office in order to spend their waking (and even sleeping) hours dreaming up schemes of jollification at the expense of the rest of us should be opposed at every turn. Voters should look to men and women who come with sound, practical ideas, and reject those who view public office as pleasure trips.

One of the high points of Obasanjo's military presidency (1976-1979) just like Murtala's of which it was part, was the policy of "low-profile". We were all proud of him. 20 years later, he threw all that to the gutter and adopted "high profile" in a poverty-ravaged country! It's sad that Jonathan, with a so-called Ph.D could not make a positive difference. When Dame Jonathan took a commercial flight on her private trip to Dubai/Lebanon, I thought GEJ was making a statement: it was all fake!

Forget about make or mar election
Submitted by KOOL (not verified) on August 23, 2010 - 21:20.
Every time I read Okey Ndibe, I always feel the same passion of a man who wants the best for common Nigerians. Unfortunately, I have come to a conclusion that common Nigerians are not quite different from the looting leaders except that they are only waiting for their own opportunities to loot at whatever possible level. Everyone is paying mere lip service to the issue of corruption eradication and the country has become a country of dogs eating dogs.
Nothing will change in the coming 2011 elections where the godfathers of corruption such as IBB, OBJ, GEJ, etc, with billions of dollars to spend are calling the shots. Your common Nigerians rather than make it a make or mar election will instead exploit the system for their greedy financial gains and thereafter shed crocodile tears for another rigged election as we saw in Ekiti State. Otherwise, why would IBB be so bold to seek to be elected in Nigeria and no one is throwing a shoe at him? IBB knows Nigerians well well.
Somehow as I observe what is going on presently in Nigeria whether in the executive or legislative or judiciary, all I could see happily is a fertile ground being prepared for the emergence of a "Jerry Rawlings" that will not purge this nation of corruption that has become endemic but also restore order in the society. It is no longer a question of if but when.

A free and fair election will produce a good government . How? Let Nigerians insist that all votes be counted at polling stations and every representative of every party should sign the result slip at every polling station .If you have ten polling stations in a local government, you will get ten result slips that could be sent to the INEC headquarters for the final result .MOving of ballot boxes from a polling station to a counting center is a fraud . I supervised elections in Nigeria before and I could not prevent boxes from being switched en-route to the counting center .Under my suggestion, all results could be out within two hours after voting has ended. NO hanky-panky.

Dont blame the leaders but blame a docile population that wont say no to being reduced to mere animals. But then what can they do. There appears to be a conspiracy at every level of leadership to short change the suffering populace. Such that the leadership of even labour organisations like NLC and TUC have become part of the conspiracy and remain criminally silent in the face of it all. For decades we were urged to tighten out belts and patiently suffer in the interest of the nation and a better tomorrow. We obeyed.

If it takes a man 100 years
Submitted by ODAFE ODAFE (not verified) on August 19, 2010 - 23:27.
If it takes a man 100 years to show a symptom of his sickness, how many years will it take the real desease to manifest? This is Nigeria's episode. The only solution to Nigeria's problem is for a systematic revolution, where all looters and plunderers of Nigeria are sent back to where they all come from. Get this: Nigeria have only had two of his sons at Dodan Barack or Aso Rock, Babtunde Idiagbon and Muritala Mohammed. Others were and are foreigners, and that is why none of them ever cared about how the world veiw Nigeria, and concern about the poverty and suffering of Nigerians. They are and continue with looting and plundering Nigeria and Nigerians with their children and girl friends as benefactors. A case in point is: Ibori, Lucky Igbinedion, Odili, Ogun state governor, Ondo state governor and many others. We can tell where these criminals migrate from by their lifestyle. London, Niger, Mali, Senegal, Ghana, Cameroun, Lybia, Sudan, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria, India, Pakistan, Mecca, Saudi arabia, Dubai etc.
These people have huge bank accountssssss in all of these countries and more, and businesses also. abi na lie I dey talk?

Okey, "It is the mind that makes one wise or ignorant, bound or emancipated. "Minds are like parachutes; they work best when open."Awo was stoned for campaigning in the North.Abused for using helicopter to beg for our votes. Still IBB was able to acquire a private jet. No questions asked. The president was stranded in Uganda. Some wished he had died when his plan skidded off the run-way. Yet when we call for the hosting of a SNC, the same ppl who pen their thoughts on Jona on hourly basis, twist and turn. Here the issue is about those who have been sqandering the resources of the ppl of the Niger Delta-for the past 50yrs. Instead of the intellectuals, calling for a meeting of all the ethnic nationalities, they prefer to fume and fret from the comforts of their homes, over the phonetics of lady patience. They will rather Obj never gave birth to Jona. That is their worry. Thievery started over 50yrs ago-it did not commence with Jona-voting will not change d lawmbreakers-SNC will. When less money is pumped into the centre for the gluttons to consume as if there no tomorrow in Nigeria.

Being prodigal is defined as being wastefully extravagant. The crop of men and women that constitute the present Federal Executive Council(FEC) should be described as prodigal men and women. Prodigal in the Bible was used for a son who I believed was inexperienced in the affairs of life and therefore decided to goto a far country & ended up wasting his inheritance on riotous living.
Our so called leaders are only interested in the perks of high office and not in alleviating the pains of the masses.
Like the prodigal son I hope they come back to their senses pretty soon and know that the priority for now is beyond pleasure jets.

successive nigerian governments have proved that governance in nigeria is more about the material satisfaction of members of government and nothing about the improvement of living standards of the citizens.....why do we need more than one senator from a state?.we can no longer argue that having less senators and legislators is not representative enough since there has never been any representation in the first place.what we have today is nothing but a band of soulless ,greedy and insatiable gangsters united in opposition against anything that might in any way augur well for the people of nigeria.i am encouraged though that the demise of nigeria is inevitable because the triumph of evil over good is only but temporary.nigeria is an aberration that ought not have been conceived,a forceful merging of strange bed fellows which serves only the imperialist comfort of the british empire. nigeria is a perfect recipe for what we have obtained since her birth.in any case, we still have the opportunity to sit down together and decide in the spirit of african brotherhood to break up this insoluble entity. i thank mr. ndibe for constantly enlightening us.
