Nigeria May Split if the US Warning is Not Heeded- It is No Joke By Obadiah Oghoerore Alegbe
In the 1980s, during the climax of the struggle against apartheid, Nigeria was at brink of war with apartheid South Africa. Nigerian Officers had studied all the neighbouring countries including Botswana to evaluate all positions to be used in case of ground and air assault on South Africa. Nigeria had lunched a strong international campaign for support, some Nigerians Citizens abroad including I led various anti-apartheid movements in the hottest anti-racist campaign ever witnessed on this planet. Nigeria had acquired weapons for war such that defence chiefs from Germany, Britain and the U.S. travelled to Nigeria to dissuade her from arming up against the Apartheid Regime, the Nigerian head of State said “where apartheid oppressed, we will liberate”. SWAPO Secretary General Toivo ja Toivo told me in Buenos Aires during his visit that the Freedom Fighters wanted to wage the war of liberation alone without outside troops, so Nigeria opted for paying for weapons for them. Three times a year each ANC, SWAPO and Pan Africanist Congress of Azania went to Nigeria with their list of weapons and IBB signed the cheques for them. I am a reliable source. Nigeria cancelled scholarship for Nigerian students abroad and shifted the money to the sponsorship of the liberation of Africa from apartheid. South African Airways could not over fly any African Country’s Air Space because of sanctions, so the apartheid regime spent money on Fernando Po Island and Cape Verde Island for providing logistics for its air crafts, this moved IBB to approve fund with which a Technical College was opened in Cape Verde Island making the country boast of its first tertiary institution, even Nigerian students were offered to help populate the school. A possible war started by Nigeria could spark support from all African countries so the powerful started to plan ahead for the future of the planet to know where to hook on to continue to suck the blood of the poor and when the plan was ready, Ronald Reagan first spoke of constructive engagement with the obnoxious apartheid regime which African refused, then Reagan and Maggie Thatcher executed the wildest economic policy in the history of mankind based on wild capitalism and The World Bank and the IMF became tools of carrying out the satanic plan of poverty to the world. Seeing that the end in South Africa could be bloody due to the African Plan headed by Nigeria, the powerful got hold F. de Klerk to seal a secrete agreement with ANC. A bloody war in South Africa could also affect US Interest in Nigeria’s oil region. Raul Alfonsin of Argentina, Olof Palm of Sweden, Nyerere of Tanzania, The Prime Minister of India and two other seeing the blinking and painful economic future of the world formed a group of six to speak out for peace in the world and to oppose the splitting of the world between East and West, Olof Palm was murdered, Alfonsin was forced to resigned and replaced with a government that dismantled the economic structure of the country based on the advice of the World Bank and the IMF. When you fly between Cape Town and Johannesburg, you will see how the powerful have mercilessly dealt with the earth in exploitation, the sight is very sorrowful. An apartheid-free South Africa reduced the economic power of the powerful; the plan is now to look for trouble sports in Africa to make money from them. Nigeria is a fertile ground for exploitation both because there was need to revenge against the country that vigorously hit their economic interest by reducing that country to nothing and also by exploiting the ineptness of our political class in handling ethnic differences. The First they did was to control our financial and foreign policy; they pay salaries to our Ministers of Finance and Foreign Affairs in order to respond to their policy. This will provoke weakness of Nigeria in her quest for a permanent seat in the United Nations. Let me elaborate, for months various Nigerian Missions abroad are under-funded, since January more than one hundred Nigerian Embassies have not been paying salaries even to local staff. How then does Nigeria campaign for votes in the U.N. if her Embassies can not pay salaries let alone hold public relations receptions to show that Nigeria is ready for the seat? The result is apathy of diplomats to Nigerians abroad that goes to the Mission for consular matters. Under-funding of Embassies is a very powerful tool that the World Bank and the IMF employs to pressure poor countries in the name of budget adjustment. India can not boast of a Renown banking expert like Okonjo-Iweala but their citizens control Nigerian economy especially in the import and export matters whereas Nigerians can not open with ease a simple letter of credit, Travellers cheques can not be easily cashed in Nigeria, Nigerians find it easier to import through sea ports in the Republic of Benin than through Nigerian ports. Nigerians customs imposed ridiculous import duties on Nigerians making it more profitable to import through Benin and Togo under the Finance Ministry of the Former Vice-President of the World Bank. These policies only put Nigerians at a disadvantage before foreigners. We have today the dullest Foreign Minister in the History of Nigeria. Nigeria is not known at all today than for 419. Nigerians have become too religious and spiritual; we commit again the errors of our ancestors. Our ancestors created the ground for Judaism, Christianity and even Islam among others whose religious principles based on Peace Perfect Peace left our destiny in the hand of Almighty God for which reason we did not make weapons with our chemistry and mathematics when others in the world were going naked. The African Empires like in Egypt were based on trade, The Ethiopians Empires carried civilization through trade with spiritual values through to Indonesia, The Benin and Oyo Empires were based on trade, likewise the Dan Fodios and many other empires were based on trade. Jesus of Nazareth was smuggled into the peace loving, spiritually strong and human rights traditions Africa from Palestine controlled by blood drinking Romans. By the year 1000 BC when Rome did not exist, the Noks in today’s Niger State created tools, but that knowledge of melting of iron and making of tools that they possessed were not used for making weapons because of the spiritual values of Africans. The religiosity of Nigerians has been exploited by inept politicians and imperialists. The powerful have the map of Nigeria on their table, since the reorganization of the army by the present government to make it more Federal, there are no more bases for a Northern controlled army that could be used against insurrection from the Delta, they have changed tactics, after weakening our Foreign Policy by starving Nigerian Missions abroad, they will discourage Nigerians from controlling its sovereignty by turning Nigerians into servants, the first experiments in evident that a Nigerian governor would give 260 thousand dollars to each white farmer that come into Nigeria after displacing the aborigines of the place. All the villagers around the settlement will end working under the control of the white farmers. This policy will be replicated throughout the country, Malaysians will be brought in into the Niger Delta to boss over our rubber, if Nigeria boils up, weapons will be infiltrated to the different militant militia and oil companies will sponsors the split of Nigeria by supplying powerful weapons to the Deltas in exchange for oil just as the powerful interestd id in Liberia and Sierra Leone. If the people are poor, sovereignty is lost and the country is invadable. The only way to assure our sovereignty is for every Nigerian to participate in the economy positively. Today Nigeria is invaded, while there is no fund for Nigerian Embassies abroad, World Bank Officials are getting fat salaries as consultants in the Nigerian Ministry of Finance.
I call on the President to produce a right turn to save Nigeria from collapse by taking the following measures:- - Remove all professors in all executive position and send them to the laboratory to research for scientific and technological solutions from Nigeria. - To release fund for all Nigerian Missions abroad. - To dismantle the committee of campaign for the security council seat and ask our Missions abroad to do what they are set up for. -Set up a committee headed by a Military strategists preferably a former Ecomog Commander to draw out as matter of National Security strategy and implementation for electrification of Nigeria, I will be ready to serve on that committee because I have the plan for the electrification of Nigeria based on popular participation in the economy. - Replace almost all his advisers with Pan Africanists that are sound on corresponding matter and not the bootlickers now surrounding him. - Fire the Current Minister of External Affairs for being too diplomatically dull. A country that produced Okoi Arikpo, Ike Nwanchiku, Jaja Nwanchukwu, Joe Garba cannot show the present diplomat as a foreign Minister. - Fire the current Minister of Finance who has believed herself untouchable and not criticisable. She is an agent of the World Powers. She was there in the World Bank when unnecessary interests were fixed on our debts. Her policy as a woman has not favoured iya alakara, iya oniresi, iya onimoinmoin. Foreigners are taking over Nigerian economy, South Africa, Pakistani, India and Brazilians. Nigerian have those vehicle plants that could produce the one thousand buses that have now been purchased from Brazil by Abuja whereas a vehicle spare part dealer suffers heavy import duties and Nigerians that want to import products that are basically needed meet difficult demands by the customs. If we want Nigeria not to split, we must do away with infiltrators. Now her boss Wolfowitz promise to change Africa, what a shame. It shows how useless our leaders have become – dobosi yes sir to anything the white lord says. - Fire the Minister of Industry because he has nothing to show in a country filled with human and natural resources an industrial development project based on grassroots. This Minister does not know the potentials of exploitable properties available to Nigeria thus we have nothing to show in a country filled with human and natural resources as industrial development based on grassroots. -Fire the Minister of Mines and power because he could not create a good environment for Nigerians and instead foreigners are taking over our steel industries for example Aldja Steel complex. - Fire the current Minster of Agriculture for doing nothing to produce agricultural revolution in Nigeria. -Fire The Minister of Science and Technology and degrade the Ministry to a bureau in the Ministry of Mines and Power and Education. This Minister does not know the potentials of exploitable properties available to Nigeria, we do not know the exact or approximate flux of rivers in Nigeria, nor the distribution of temperature, nor the scientific model for the distribution of the vegetation in Nigeria.
Most of the Ministers are just there for political convenience and not for their capacity. Mr. President! Produce the change, ignite the burner of change in Nigeria, let it burn; let it glow strongly for Nigerians to see the road to progress and you will enter history positively. If you do not, Nigeria will split after 2007.
