CHIBOK GIRLS: NIGERIA IS STILL DEPENDENT AFTER 56 YEARS OF INDEDEPENT
our Girls are still missing since April 15 2014. We pray negotiators from anywhere help.
Today we discuss The ‘Nigeria@56 Dependence’ on generators and imported fuel, our 3,000Mw rubbish power supply, Oxford University and UI!
I still sit in the darkness@56 of 3,000Mw, like millions, for my second week of pre-Nigeria@56 personal protest and money-saving for myself and Nigeria by not buying imported generator fuel by 100-150 litres/week.
In this perpetual darkness, I never pray to God for light. God has nothing to do with our monstrous power-failure and is busy in famine-ridden Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps. Nigerians refusing to protest decades of 419 governance abandoning grid growth and refinery output.
Instead, we sheepishly ‘managed’ to buy 1+ million generators and now each pay N150-N10,000 daily for 10-100 million litres generator fuel nightly for light that should not cost 1/15th that if refineries, PHCN/DISCO delivered. I type this article in 22-24/7 darkness with a torch. Buy luminous keyboard laptops for Nigeria’s Dark Ages.
A 20 year is going back home because there is ‘24/7 light- and no generators’ in Togo’. We struggle@56 with 3,000Mw instead of 150,000Mw. Generators generate pollution and corruption and must be silenced.
Breaking News: In response to President Buhari’s statement that Nigeria’s looters were behind the economic sabotage of bombing of oil facilities, The Institute of Looters Of Nigeria, I-LOOT-ON, direct descendant of The ABN- The Association to Bastardise Nigeria, sent the scum, I mean ‘some’, of their membership, a subsidiary called The Nigerian Professional And Political Official Looters Association aka ‘NIGAPPOLOOTAss’, from their secret guesthouse HQ, provided by a governor seeking future immunity in National Assembly, NASS for financial crimes to be committed, and situated somewhere near ‘14% Monetary Policy Robbery- I mean Rate’, MPR CBN Building, Abuja. [Who will bring the CBN Governor into No MPR and low interest rate line?].
They appeared disguised in mufflers, mufti and masks before a World Press Conference to deny the Presidential claim and mischievously asked the Accountant General and Minister of Agriculture how much Nigeria was spending feeding the Presidential pet cow ‘with no name’, last spotted in 34 states nationwide on a ranch or on rampage near you! Their identity is being determined by Wikileaks and Sahara Reporters.
Many were seen heading in convoy [back] to the ‘Complex NASS’ perhaps to a meeting with the committee investigating the goodness of padding and the badness of whistleblowing? At NASS, a crowd, herein-after called ‘We-The Masses’, had gathered but did not stone them with the pure water sachets made available for the purpose by a Coordinating Member of the Civil Society Organisations as We-The Masses cannot afford to drink pure water, much less throw it even at the most 419 politicians.
Sometimes at an ex-President yes! Instead ‘We-The Masses’ drank the water weapon, consuming the evidence, and dumped the empty plastic sachets in the drains of the NASS in a cunning ‘block the drain’ protest. ‘An Act of God’ or a Maradona-ic ‘Hand of God’ downpour conveniently immediately ‘down-poured’ and flooded everywhere.
‘We-The Masses’, well soaked were duly arrested for Environmental Pollution by road agencies because Environment Staff never come out in the rain to supervise the drains, and the Road Agencies were trying to meet an Internal Generated Robbery I mean Revenue quota, herein-after referred to as ‘IGRobbery’!
The arrested protesters aka ‘We-The Masses’ some armed with umbrellas and brooms have since laid down these ‘dangerous’ weapons of kitchen combat, and been charged with false assembly at the National Assembly, sabotage, possession of dangerous water, poor sanitation and waste disposal, abuse of ‘immune’ ‘Distinguished and Honourables’, bringing Nigeria@56 into disrepute during Generator and Fuel Imports Dependence Celebrations and failure to stop for a siren.
On parade before the media they all claimed they had great difficulty in identifying a truly ‘Distinguished or Honourable’ Nigerian@56 among those self-styled as such and had gone in search of same. They were given bail in the sum of N5,000 ‘bail-is-free-he-he-he’ non-refundable ‘deposit’ to the inconvenienced ‘arresting’ police officer, their own recognition, passport photo A4size and BVN. Then miraculously they were discharged and acquitted as a Nigeria@56 present from the Chief Judge or was it the President.
Meanwhile a group of NASS members held another Press Conference marking Nigeria@56 by insisting on part-time sitting and minimal sitting allowances, no salary or hidden allowances and to reduce the number of houses in NASS to one with one third the number of members if they could get 25million signatures demanding such followed by a referendum and threatened recall of all NASS members.
They also ceremonially turned off their official jeeps and generators promising to wait for the grid to power their homes and offices. Nigerians are waiting for ‘change’ from a greedy 419 political class. A Luta Continua! We all have a dream for Nigeria come Oct 1st@56, abi?
As we congratulated Para-Olympians, congratulate World University Ranking 1st Place Oxford University where the commonest mode of transport is ‘the environmentally friendly bicycle’. Where do Nigeria@56 universities stand in a country unable to provide 100,000Mw? The University of Ibadan is threatened for being Nigeria’s Cradle of Western Education. We say NOOOOOOO!
Science and Technology need research grants and 24/7 power. As a Chinese firm invents radar technology to track the US radar-proof stealth Bomber and the world uses robotics and debates AI, Artificial Intelligence, Nigeria still suffers corruption-driven ‘de ayes have it’ voice-voting in NASS. What ‘change’ in Nigeria@56? tonymarinho.com
