WHO WILL SAVE SOME NIGERIANS FROM INTELLECTUAL LAZINESS? By FEMI ADESINA

WHO WILL SAVE SOME NIGERIANS FROM INTELLECTUAL LAZINESS?
By FEMI ADESINA

Since President Muhammadu Buhari met with the Archbishop of Canterbury in London on Wednesday, and spoke on the likely impact of gunmen trained by former Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, on the killings by herdsmen in Nigeria, some people have virtually flown off the handle, ululating as if wailing was going out of fashion.
They twisted the meaning of Mr President's words (yes, some people twist everything, even the words of God; 2 Peter:3, 15,16). They claimed he was blaming Gaddafi, long dead, for the killings in Nigeria.
But let's see the vacuousness and intellectual laziness in the twist they have given what President Buhari said, out of sheer malice and evil hearts. Sadly, even a Senator was involved in the sickening display of poisonous heart. That's what you get when small minds get into high places.
Here's what Mr President told Archbishop Justin Welby:
"The problem is even older than us. It has always been there, but now made worse by the influx of armed gunmen from the Sahel region into different parts of the West African sub-region. These gunmen were trained and armed by Muammar Gadaffi of Libya. When he was killed, the gunmen escaped with their arms. We encountered some of them fighting with Boko Haram. Herdsmen that we used to know carried only sticks and maybe a cutlass to clear the way, but these ones now carry sophisticated weapons. The problem is not religious, but sociological and economic. But we are working on solutions."
> "The problem is even older than us," said President Buhari. If anybody is not challenged with simple understanding of English language, does this mean pre-Gaddafi? The former Libyan leader was born in 1942, and killed in October 2011, making him 69 years old at the time of his death. So, did he cause clashes between farmers and herdsmen, which the President said was older than most living Nigerians? Only rabidly mischievous minds can conceive such.
"It has always been there, but now made worse..." If you say something has been exacerbated by a factor, does it mean such factor is the cause? Simply illogical.
The President talked about the influx of militia trained, armed and used by Gaddafi, who now dispersed into different countries, including possibly Nigeria, after the Libyan strongman's death. Are some people claiming ignorance of such development, despite it being global knowledge? So deep must be the ignorance of such people. Simple research will show them the Libyan influence on proliferation of small arms all over Africa, after Gaddafi's death.
The President then talked about the herdsmen we used to know, who carried just sticks, and at worst a cutlass, saying those armed with sophisticated weapons were unknown to this clime. Is that not true?
If herdsmen have suddenly turned murderous in a country, it calls for all sorts of interrogation, including intellectual, as to what may have gone wrong. The causes could be multifarious. And solutions must be jointly proffered.
A President has sensitive security reports available to him. President Buhari gave another vista from which the herdsmen/farmers clashes could be considered, but rather than be reflective and do critical interrogation, the wailers engaged in their pastime: they began to wail, including senators and people who should naturally be level headed and examine issues dispassionately. Very sorry.
"But we are working on solutions," President Buhari told the cleric. They ignored that. It holds no meaning for them. They are interested in problems, not solutions. Problems serve their pernicious interests more. Pity!
That is what hatred does to the heart. It stunts the mind and poisons the soul. Such heart plays petty partisan and divisive politics with every matter. It is what President Buhari at that meeting called "irresponsible politics." And as we head for general elections next year, much more of it would be seen, except such people reform, and put on their thinking caps.
The tendency now is to twist and slant every word from President Buhari in the negative,  all in a bid to demean, de-market, and demonize him, and make him unattractive to the electorate. But those who do it are to be pitied. Sensible Nigerians know what the President is doing for the country, and would queue behind him at the polls next year. At the end of it all, the detractors would be holding the short ends of the stick, and looking small, forlorn and disconsolate. Where would they then hide their faces?

PRESIDENT BUHARI COULDN'T HAVE DERIDED ALL NIGERIAN YOUTHS

PRESIDENT BUHARI COULDN'T HAVE DERIDED ALL NIGERIAN YOUTHS

At the Commonwealth Business Forum in London on Wednesday, April 18, 2018, President Muhammadu Buhari gave a keynote address on Making Business Easier Between Commonwealth Countries. The presentation was followed by a discussion, and question and answer session.
Responding to a question, President Buhari had cause to talk about some Nigerian youths, and he said: " We have a very young population; our population is estimated conservatively to be 180 million. More than 60 per cent of the population is below the age of 30. A lot of them have not been to school and they are claiming that Nigeria has been an oil producing country, therefore they should sit and do nothing and get housing, healthcare and education free.”
Typical of their stock in trade, manipulators and twisters of statements of Mr President, who lie in wait to make mischief, interpreted the comment to mean that President Buhari had taken all Nigerian youths to the cleaners. But elementary English recognizes a wide gulf between "a lot of" and the word "all." How can "a lot of them," suddenly transmogrify to mean “all of them?” Mischievous and unconscionable!
There is no way President Buhari, father of the Nigerian nation in every sense of the word, who equally has biological children of his own in the youths age bracket, pass a vote of no confidence on all youths. It can only exist in the imagination of those who play what the President has described as "irresponsible politics" with everything.
President Buhari has always applauded and celebrated Nigerian youths who excel in different areas of endeavour, from sports, to academia, and other realms. And he will continue to do so, because he values the youths, and knows that they are the fulcrum on which the future of the country rests.
Indeed, every country has its share of idle population, and it is the bounden duty of government at all levels, to create an enabling environment for them to actualize their potentials. That is what President Buhari is committed to doing.
The focal areas of the administration; securing the country, reviving the economy, and fighting corruption, are actually intended to give youths a future and a hope. This much was emphasized in an April 5, 2018 comment by President Buhari, while receiving Letter of Credence from the Head of Delegation of the European Union to Nigeria, when he said: " Our insistence on probity is to encourage people to be accountable, and accept honesty as a lifestyle so as to secure the future of our youths.’’ The President also said more than 60 percent of Nigerians fall into the age category of youths and deserve to inherit a stable and prosperous country that they can be proud of, adding that the government will work assiduously to prevent waste and the depletion of resources by corrupt Nigerians.

It is futile for mischief makers to lie in wait, and take a minor part of the words of the President, and turn it into negative commentary, peradventure they could  diminish the profile of the President. Nigerians across all walks of life know who is serving them faithfully and truly, and they will always reciprocate such fidelity as occasions demand.

Press Release: President Buhari Assures Nigerians: Your Confidence In Us Will Not Be Abused

“We will do our best to justify your trust in us, and that
confidence won’t be abused,” President Muhammadu
Buhari has assured Nigerians.
The President spoke in London Sunday while receiving
the Buhari Diaspora Support Organization, led by Mr
Charles Efe Sylvester.
“I am happy that people like you are here, on your own,
defending the country. You have shown courage and
sacrifice. I assure you that your confidence in us won’t
be abused, we will do our best to justify it,” President
Buhari said.
He noted that Nigeria was gifted with tremendous
human and natural resources, but regretted that
“failure of some of the leadership we had in the past
led to our not being able to capitalize on resources to
improve the lot of the people.”
Saying wicked people plundered the country, “and kept
Nigerians poor,” the President added that looking at the
condition in which the current administration met the
country, without savings and the economy badly
vandalized, “we have not done too badly.”
President Buhari said the damage done to the Nigerian
economy in the years of plunder was massive, and that
government was doing its best to recover some of the
loot, but noted that it was impossible to identify and
recover all.
“If they had used 50% of the money we made, when oil
prices went as high as $143 dollars per barrel, and
stabilized at $100 dollars with production at 2.1 million
barrels per day for many years, Nigerians would have
minded their businesses. You could almost grow food
on our roads, as they were abandoned. The stealing
was so much, and they were so inept that they could
not even cover the stealing properly. I wonder how all
those things could have happened to our country.” the
President said.
He commended the Buhari Diaspora Support
Organization for deciding to identify with the country,
“when you could have stayed here, and being
comfortable.”
The Coordinator of the organization, Mr Sylvester, said
the group was happy with the achievements of the
Buhari administration so far, noting:
“You met a difficult situation, but you have overcome
most of them. We are happy with the agriculture
revolution, the ease of doing business, the anti-
corruption war, the employment of youths through the
N-Power programme, and the blockage of leakages in
the public sector through the Treasury Single Account
(TSA).
“We are proud of the speed with which you recovered
the abducted Dapchi schoolgirls. It shows you as a
worthy general. We are happy that you have declared
for 2019. Majority of Nigerians are happy, but agents
of corruption and darkness are unhappy. The same
God, who healed you when you were ill, will grant you
victory in the 2019 elections. You are a General who
does not fear combat, either with Generals or non-
Generals. We declare our love and support for you. You
are fixing the faulty foundations of our country and
second term is when you will build the enduring
structure.”

2 019: WHY I DECLARED INTENTIONS NOW, BY PRESIDENT BUHARI

019: WHY I DECLARED INTENTIONS NOW, BY PRESIDENT
BUHARI
President Muhammadu Buhari has explained why he
declared his intentions to run for another term in office on
Monday, April 9, 2018, during the National Executive
Committee (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress
(APC).
Receiving the Archbishop of Canterbury, His Grace Justin
Welby in London Wednesday, President Buhari said:
"I declared before leaving home because Nigerians were
talking too much about whether I would run or not. So, I felt
I should break the ice. We have many things to focus on,
like security, agriculture, economy, anti-corruption, and
many others. We needed to concentrate on them, and
politics should not be a distraction. The majority of
Nigerians appreciate what we are doing, and that is why I
am re-contesting."
The President recounted some successes of the
administration to his guest, with whom he has built a deep
friendship in recent times, and was quite particular about
strides in agriculture.
"We have cut the importation of rice by about 90%, saving
billions of dollars in the process. People who rushed into
petrol money have now gone back to agriculture. Even
professionals have gone back to the land. Nigeria should be
able to feed itself comfortably soon. I am so pleased," the
President said.
On the war against insurgency, he stressed the need for
continuous education of the people, "so that they can be free
from religious manipulation," adding that no true religion
advocates the hurting or killing of the innocent.
Responding to his guest's comment on the clashes between
herdsmen and farmers in different parts of Nigeria, the
President submitted:
"The problem is even older than us. It has always been
there, but now made worse by the influx of armed gunmen
from the Sahel region into different parts of the West African
sub-region. These gunmen were trained and armed by
Muammar Gadaffi of Libya. When he was killed, the gunmen
escaped with their arms. We encountered some of them
fighting with Boko Haram. Herdsmen that we used to know
carried only sticks and maybe a cutlass to clear the way,
but these ones now carry sophisticated weapons. The
problem is not religious, but sociological and economic. But
we are working on solutions."
President Buhari lamented that "irresponsible politics" has
been brought into the farmers/herders’ crisis, but assured
that enduring solutions would be found, and justice done to
all concerned.
On Leah Sharibu, the schoolgirl from Dapchi still being held
by insurgents, reportedly because she refused to renounce
her Christian faith, the President said:
"We are managing the matter quietly. Making noise would
not help. We are collecting as much intelligence as possible,
working with the Red Cross and other international
organizations. There are too many fraudulent people
around, who claim they can do this and that. We won't deal
with them. That was how we got the Dapchi girls back, and
the Chibok girls."
Archbishop Welby said it was always a delight to see
President Buhari, "whom I have tremendous respect for,"
adding: "You have my best wishes on your recent decision. I
read your declaration speech. We are neutral as a church,
but we will pray for you. Great statesmen are those who run
for the good of their country. We will be praying for you."
The Archbishop presented President Buhari with a copy of
his recent book, 'Reimagining Britain. Foundations for
Hope.'

2019: Let the others simply run away By FEMI ADESINA

2019: Let the others simply run away

By FEMI ADESINA

There are two options for those in contention for the presidency in 2019: run, or run away. Now that President Muhammadu Buhari has indicated his intention to run, dwarfs trying to wear a giant's shoes should simply run away. The cat has returned from a journey, let the rats scamper for safety.

Show clean pairs of heels? But this is a democracy! Everybody is free to run in the direction he or she fancies. True. So, what I've said is mere advice, which they can take, or choose not to take. Nigerians will decide early next year. The greater the challenge, the sweeter the victory.

I have always said it privately and in public. If President Muhammadu Buhari decides to run for a second term in 2019, I would support him. It doesn't matter whether I am in government or not. For some of us, the man Buhari is a conviction, a resolution, a man to admire and adore since 1984, when he became military head of state.

Is he perfect? Show me the man who is. Is he running a perfect government? Show me the government which is. Is he sincere? Very. Does he love the country? Dearly. Will he take Nigeria to the Promised Land? As the good Lord helps. And he is on the way there. Does he need more time? Sure, he does. The rot was too much, benumbing.

Nigeria is doing a lot more with a lot less today. There was a time we were awash with money. Oil sold for as high as $120 dollars per barrel, and we produced up to two million barrels per day. For many years. But we had no roads, no electricity, no health care, no security, nothing. The money was simply looted. They sat round the table, as if gathered for lunch, and hundreds of billions of dollars were shared.

Now, after oil prices crashed to as low as 30 dollars per barrel in 2015, and currently oscillates between 50 and 60 dollars, Nigeria is doing great things. Electricity has been taken to over 7,000 megawatts, from the inherited 3,000. The economy is now being truly diversified, after five decades of lip service. Agriculture is now the second biggest thing after oil, and is poised to become number one in the not too distant future. Farmers, in their millions, now smile to the banks. The farmer is now king. He sends himself on pilgrimage to Mecca or Jerusalem, paying his own way. Those who want more wives among them have even taken. And not on credit. Lol.

With income standing at about 60% less than what we used to earn, N1.3 trillion was spent on capital in 2016. The 2017 budget will close with about the same amount being expended on capital projects. Simply because you have a honest man in leadership. Not that corruption has been wiped out, no, but it has been drastically curbed. And anyone serving with the man knows that stealing is now corruption. When fish rots, it starts from the head. But we now have a head that shows the way. Mai Gaskiya. The Honest Man. Shine the light, and people will find the way.

How about our foreign reserves? They say we should stop talking about the past, and simply face the future. So that Nigerians would not be reminded of how they ran the country into a hole? With oil at its highest prices for many years, what they left in foreign reserves was a miserly $29.6 billion. It dropped to as low as $24 billion about a year ago, because of collapsed oil prices. But then, by divine mercies, prices began to inch up in the international market. It reached  $60 per barrel, just about half of what they earned for many years. We cut unbridled importation of what can be produced locally. Prudence became the watchword. And foreign reserves now stand at over $46 billion. Why? Simply because the money is not being pocketed by those in power, as it once happened.

And then, some voodoo priests came: don't run for a second term. Give way to younger people. Take a well deserved rest. Blah blah blah. As if they were the beginning and end of democracy. The motive was simple: we must dissuade this man from running, so that he wouldn't become the greatest ever Nigerian leader. He must not become the authentic national hero. All types of cards were being flashed, yellow, green, red, purple, as if they had become emergency referees. But President Buhari kept his peace. No abuse for abuse, no railing for railing. When you are in the marketplace, you concentrate on the person you are transacting a deal with, and ignore the noise of the market. Now, the Tower of Babel has been resoundingly ignored, and democracy will be the victor.

Early next year, Nigerians will decide what they want. Go ahead on the journey to Canaan, a land flowing with milk and honey, or go back to Egypt, a land of eternal bondage, and excruciating pains? Nigerians will do it again. They will freely elect the leader they want, without pandering to ethnic, religious, and other primordial sentiments being currently whipped up. There will be no doomsday, as the election will be free and fair. No wuru-wuru or mago-mago under Buhari's watch, no matter what. A man that swears to his own hurt.

Nigerians, President Buhari is on the march again. For the sake of our tomorrow and the ages to come, for the sake of our children and generations yet unborn, let's do it again.
