Bitter Politics Among Politicians

THE NEED TO SILENCE BITTER POLITICS AMONG POLITICIANS

Brethren, I can’t thank you enough for always having the interest of this God-chosen congregation at heart. And, I won’t stop appreciating you for making our success so far, a reality. Honestly, you all have sacrificed your very best towards the actualization of our present height.

Believe me, good things come to those who wait. But surely, better things come to only those who work for it. This is a fancy fact. But the bone of contention is that, we must be extremely careful and conscious while thriving towards securing the better things as mentioned above.

Based on the above note, I wish to ask all of us; how do we work on a daily basis in order to obtain the better and as well best things in life? In other words, do we invariably prefer taking the short-cut? This is a sincere question that calls for thorough meditation among every soul that lives on earth.

If you ask me how I work towards obtaining the better things in life, I’ll gladly tell you that, in every circumstance having done my best, I sincerely look up to the Almighty to do the rest. I do so simply because I personally believe that our best is not an assurance towards receiving the anticipated “better/best things”. Suffice to say that, God or nature has the final say or pronouncement in any circumstance. Well, that is me; I don’t know about you, in spite of the fact that we belong to the same congregation. Therefore, it’s your duty to inform or better still educate me on your own routine.

Each time I glance at the Nigerian political arena in its entirety, I don’t hesitate to wear a smile, even if it’s fake. In other words, I often smile tentatively. Sometimes I end-up grinning, not just smiling, just for the sake of my mental being/status. Yes, lately I’ve come to realize that, most present madness is attributed to indulgence in constant frowning expression which showcases, no doubt, fathomless wrinkles on one’s brow.

Though frankly, the nature of melodramas witnessed severally on the Nigeria’s socio-political platform, is nothing to write home about; or, doesn’t call for any manner of smile. If anyone must or chooses to smile over the scenario, it must be within his/her soul, and not to please someone else. For crying out loud; why try and be fake when being real takes less effort? Let’s ride on!

Brethren, at this point, I say unequivocally that, Nigeria as a country has really got it wrong when it calls for politics. If not, how can the entire society be filled or loaded with inconsequential bickering, antagonism, blackmail, criticism, sycophancy, just to mention but a few thereby constituting baseless fracas or pandemonium all in the name of politics? Surely without mincing words, we’ve really got it wrong.

The most devastating aspect of it is the ongoing countless bloodshed taking place all over on a daily basis, for the goal of actualizing nothing but a selfish desire. It’s already written and it’s no longer news that no one is entitled to shed blood, not even his/hers, for whatsoever reason. Needless to say; mankind is not eligible to participate in any act that would warrant or cost the termination of any soul created by the Almighty.

My utmost gladness in this is that, no one cheats nature. Yes, nature takes dominion in any existing territory or activity as the case may be. Believe it or leave it, there’s no man born of a woman, or created by the Almighty, that would ever claim of having cheated nature in one way or the other. You might have noticed that I love using “Almighty”; this is because it is a word that makes me completely happy while addressing God. Thus, I can’t compromise it for any other word whatsoever.

But let’s face the reality. Politics wasn’t meant for antagonism or baseless bickering. I’ve often said it; politics was instituted by God Himself to guarantee absolute leadership thrive amongst mankind. And, we would be fools to say that God wasn’t wise to come-up with such institution.

Sincerely, politics is truly worthwhile. On this note, I advise us to read a book titled “Politics and the Universe” written by Fred Nwaozor, to know more about this crusade. Without politics, I wonder how the society would have looked like, because I’m strongly of the view that it is by politics that societal developments and innovations take place.

But the bitter side of the existence of politics solely instituted by God Himself, is the unnecessary tussle widely witnessed in it, most especially in the African society. To me, such act is childish and shameful.

Therefore, I urge us to quit dancing Makosa when we’re called to dance Hip-hop, or vice-versa; else, we’re liable to end-up in a mere pot of soup if we continue like this. Enough is enough; So we must be deeply mindful of how we stride towards embracing the better side of life. Think about it!

How Do You Lay Your Bed?

HOW DO YOU LAY YOUR BED?


Brethren, frankly the world is not a bed of roses, and it has never been. So, for one to enjoy it to the fullness, he/she must had laid his/her bed aptly and in the right direction. Thus, you must endeavour to check and as well crosscheck your bed prior to bedtime.

Surely, in a land controlled by anarchy and confusion, the arbiter is the judge. This is not unlike observing a one-eye man amidst the blind. Even if you find yourself in any of the above mentioned shoes, either as “an arbiter” or a “one-eye man” as the case may be, courtesy demands that, you lead by example; or in other words, lay your bed in such a manner that it would be lied comfortably upon by the people concerned.

Few weeks ago during my business trip in Rivers State, Port-Harcourt precisely, the countenance of the bed of the hotel suite that I lodged didn’t really please my person. Therefore, I took my precious time to rearrange the bed to my taste in order to experience luxury while lying in it. Thank God, I had a wonderful and fantastic dream having done what I was supposed to do before lying in the bed.

Believe me, several people don’t really pay much attention as regards how their beds are arranged whenever they intend going to bed or the moment they depart from their beds having lied in it.

At this juncture, I ask, how do you lay your bed? Do you just lie in your bed without minding how it is being arranged, each time you go to bed? Or, do you take time to put everything in order to ensure that you lie in a smooth and decent bed? A question everyone is expected to attend, without any iota of hesitation.

I’m too keen about how people lay their beds before lying in it, because I’m strongly of the view that, that is the stepping stone towards actualizing a perfect or lovely dream. Yes, ones bed must be properly put in order, in order to embrace a fantastic sleep, and as well encounter a hearty and cheerful posture after the long-lasted sleep, nap , siesta, or as the case might be. Let’s ride on!

Mind you, laying a bed might be interpreted in many languages based on what is actually at stake. That is, laying a bed involves different dimensions regarding the object/goal of the person involved.

For instance, one who’s seriously preparing for his/her Senior School Certificate Examinations (SSCE) is definitely laying his/her bed towards embracing marvelous results after the exams have been duly taken. In such case, if the candidate fails to prepare adequately before the exams come up, no doubt, failure awaits the candidate in question under normal circumstance, or all things being equal.

In the same vein, a man who intends venturing into marriage and is in serious search for the right woman, is also trying to avoid lying in a coarse bed, so that, he would embrace a happy home in due cause. But, on the contrary, a man who fails to take similar step, or who ignores the efficacy of lying in a bed thoroughly and consciously prepared, would surely be prepared to have a handshake with a state of doom.

It’s already widely in circulation that, “If one fails to plan, he plans to fail”. From my personal view, there’s no two ways about it; yes, it’s either you plan to succeed, or you plan to fail. And, the choice is yours. Honestly, the funniest part of the scenario is that, the choice is yours; thus, you must consciously make a right choice if you really wish to swim in an eternal happiness, or better still, eternal ecstasy.

You must cough up time to lay your bed in such a way that it would benefit both you and anyone who intends to share with your person. In other words, while laying your bed, you must put the people in your life or the people around you, into consideration in order to carry everyone along. Your bed may not only be used by you; others too, might be involved at the long run.

At this point, I urge every living soul to always endeavour to lay his bed adequately, so “Had I known” wouldn’t suddenly become his national anthem. Everyone is expected to devote sufficient time in respect to putting his bed in good shape.

Don’t forget, we all have a bed to lay. And, we remain the sole umpire that can control the laying of our respective beds; no one would do it on your behalf, because, as you lay your bed so you lie in it. Think about it!

The Welcome Address Presented by Barr. Obinna Amagwula during the Recent Governor's Visit to Oru East LGA

WELCOME ADDRESS PRESENTED BY THE TC-CHAIRMAN OF ORU-EAST LGA, HON. BARR. OBINNA AUGUSTUS AMAGWULA, DURING THE SOLIDARITY VISIT OF HIS EXCELLENCY, CHIEF OWELLE ROCHAS OKOROCHA-OON, TO THE COUNCIL,

                                THIS DAY – MONDAY MARCH 31, 2014



PROTOCOLS



I am indeed humbled to deliver this address in this epoch making occasion of the visit of our dear governor, Chief Owelle Rochas Okorocha, OON – the Senior Advocate of the Masses, to Oru East LGA. Your Excellency, may I at this point welcome you and the formidable Rescue Mission team, especially your darling and lovely wife Nneoma Nkechi Okorocha who has not only proven to be a mother to all but a great motivator and team player in propelling the Rescue Mission to the desired destination.

Your Excellency, as you can see, Oru East is very peaceful and calm now. Within our short stay as Transition Committee of this Local Government Area, we have been working harmoniously and assiduously towards building bridges, mending cracked walls and consolidating on your unprecedented land marks revolutions and achievements through continual massive consultations with our people at the grass-root, and stakeholders especially our party stalwarts. Among these, is the completion of a befitting hall (Owelle Rochas Okorocha Hall) with office apartments situated at the council headquarters, which would be commissioned today by your Excellency, and the rectification of public power supply at the headquarters which was in total blackout for over three years. Sir, I’m pleased to announce that, the aforementioned capital projects were successfully completed within the short frame, due to the magnanimity you showed to us.

Your Excellency, it is no longer news that your government is a people oriented one; thus, our people have unequivocally spoken their minds to us that, this is the only government since the inception of democracy in 1999 that has touched their lives one way or the other. This is why you can see this teeming crowd converging here today to welcome you and your entourage to Oru East. Sir, because of these radical developments in Imo State today, our people have unanimously agreed to move to the “Only performing party” – All Progressives Congress (APC). This record could be seen in the recent membership registration exercise of the party.

Your Excellency, the revolution of your government spanning over, education, security, massive infrastructural development, health care delivery, civil service, agriculture and judiciary reforms, just to mention but a few, can no longer be overemphasized as the achievements speak for themselves, as the Latin people would say “Res Ipsa Loquitor”. Even the critics of this government in their closet and honest reflections have had the cause to ponder on the secret behind these unbelievable achievements.

I’m deeply pleased that Oru East is not left behind this trend of unbelievable revolution by your government. Your government has embarked on the construction and rehabilitation of over 20 roads transcending the various communities that make up Oru East and linking them to our neighbouring communities, including other land mark infrastructural developments. Among these impeccable achievements, I think the dearest to our hearts have remained the water projects and the revolution going on in the educational and health sectors such as the ongoing reconstruction of dilapidated structures cum construction of new ones in the various primary/secondary schools in Oru East thereby making them model modern citadels of learning, and the fathomless Millennium Development Goals’ (MDGs’) programmes that are taking place in all the sectors in the council. Our school children are now paid allowances and can now sit comfortably in their respective classrooms to study in a serene and conducive environment which was not the case in the past.

Secondly, the world-class health care facility once completed will automatically take care of all our primary health care challenges especially in the area of child and maternal mortality, communicable diseases and health care challenges faced by our aged parents, some of whom have devoted their lives and energy in serving this state and our country Nigeria in general.

Above all, we are deeply impressed over the level of

recognitions you have extended to worthy and distinguished

indigenes of Oru East since the inception of your administration,

which include:

 The appointment of Chief Donatus Ejimfugha, as the Director General of Imo State Civil Guards.

 The promotion of Evang. Esther Obong Egbuna, as the Director General of Imo Broadcasting Corporation (IBC).

 The appointment of Prince Marshal Okafor Anyanwu, as the Interim State Chairman of the ruling party in the state, All Progressives Congress (APC).

 The appointment of Mrs. Nma Nzeribe Michael, as the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Governor on Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

 The appointment of Dr. Emma Ogbenta, as the Special Adviser (SA) to the Governor on Community Govt. Council (CGC).

 The appointment of Hon. Lawrence Nwobodo, as the Special Adviser (SA) to the Governor on Due Process.

 The last but not the least, the recent elevation of Mrs. Stella Udogwu, as the Accountant General of Imo State. Just to mention but a few.



In the same vein your Excellency, I will not finish this address without pointing out some of the proposed desirable projects/initiatives in Oru East that need your urgent attention, to wit:

a. Awo-Omamma, Amiri, Amagu and Akuma rural roads.

b. Okwu Akatta and Ubahaeze Awo-Omamma electrification projects.

c. Sinking of additional boreholes and water scheme at strategic locations within the communities in Oru East.

d. Creation of Courts 2 & 3 of the Imo State High Court, Oru Division at Awo-Omamma and Omuma respectively.

e. Provision of functional daily market for the entire people of Oru East.

f. The last but not the least Sir, we would like you to extend your rescue mission strategy to the ongoing ezeship anomaly in Akuma Autonomous Community, in order to avoid any future communal calamity in the area.

Sir, I’m strongly of the view that, if the above mentioned projects or initiatives are duly actualized, Oru East in its entirety would be a council to reckon with in Imo State at large.

Once again, may I welcome you and your entourage to Oru East, and wish you a safe trip back to your various destinations. May the hand of the Almighty God not depart from you as He uses you to continually and persistently rescue Imo State from shackles of its enemies.

Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!

HON. BARR. OBINNA AMAGWULA

TC-CHAIRMAN, ORU EAST LGA

The Profile of Barr. Obinna Amagwula

BRIEF PROFILE OF HON. BARR. OBINNA AMAGWULA, THE TC-CHAIRMAN OF ORU EAST LGA

Truly, some are born great, others achieve greatness, whilst others still have greatness thrust upon them. But rarely do we have these three attributes combined so well in an individual, as in the case in our Awardee here present. I mean none other than Barr. Obinna Augustus Amagwula – Chartered lawyer; staunch member, Nigerian Bar Association (NBA); Chairman, A.O. Amagwula & Co. Chambers, Abuja; quintessential politician; and among all, a worthy council leader.

Born at Umuezike in Awo-Omamma, Oru East LGA of Imo State on the 24th October 1974 by Chief & Lolo Richard Ihekweaba Amagwula. He had his early upbringing in Imo State. He attended the famous Santana Primary Boarding School, Awo-Omamma. Thereafter proceeded to Bonus Pastor Seminary, Osina Ideato; and later concluded his secondary education at St. Mary’s Catholic Seminary Umuowa, Orlu, where he sat for his Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE), and came out with flying colours to the delight of his parents and well-wishers. While in the latter, he obtained a diploma certificate in Latin.

Due to his brilliant performance at the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination, in 1997, he got admission in the University of Calabar (UniCal) Cross River State, to study Law, having obtained Diploma in Public Administration in the same institution. In 2002, as God would have it, he graduated with an excellent grade, which granted him the opportunity to be admitted in the impeccable Nigeria Law School, Abuja in 2004; a programme he also finished with flying colours. Afterwards, he proceeded for his compulsory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme, which took place in Nasarawa State, where he held the position of the President of Catholic Corpers Association, Keffi.

In 2005, the young and exuberant Obinna Amagwula was called to the Nigerian Bar; a ritual that gave him the mandate to practice as a recognized lawyer in any Nigerian court situated anywhere across the federation.

Like his educational career, Barr. Obinna Amagwula’s work experience spans a wide but impressive range. He started his Law profession with Chancellery Law Chambers Abuja as the Head of Administration. In 2009, he established a functional Law chamber, A.O Amagwula Chambers, in Abuja to enable him and his teeming colleagues carryout their respective functions effectively; a venture that has taken him to numerous places both in Nigeria and in the diaspora, because of his distinguished attributes.

Barr. Amagwula, who is the Chairman of Coalition of Imo State Indigenes Lawyers based in Abuja, the Imo State Coordinator of All Awo-Omamma Indigenes Lawyers, and the first Notary public from Awo-Omamma in Oru East, was a member of the Counsel that brought victory to the amiable Imo State Governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, at the Apex court, Supreme Court precisely, by the special grace of God.

In 2003, he was a Councillorship candidate in Awo Ward I under the auspices of All Nigerians People’s Party (ANPP). As a distinguished politician, on Thursday January 23 – 2014, he was inaugurated as the Transition Committee (TC) Chairman of Oru East Local Government Area (LGA); an inauguration that was long awaited by the entire people of Oru East due to the implicit respect they have for his person. A position he assumed till date.

So far so good, within a short time in office as the TC-Chairman of Oru East, he has successfully restored peace among the leaders and entire members of the council, by continually calling for reconciliation cum solidarity talks amongst the concerned people. Also, he has completed a befitting hall with office apartments at the council headquarters - Omuma, just to mention but a few.

Hon. Barr. Obinna Amagwula is affiliated to various professional and social societies both indigenous and foreign, which include:

 Member, Nigerian Bar Association (NBA)

 Secretary General, Awo-Omamma Patriotic Union, Abuja (2011 - date)

 Principal Partner, A.O Amagwula & Co., Abuja

 Pioneer Chairman, Imo Indigenes Lawyers’ Association, Abuja (2012 - date)

 Imo State Coordinator, Awo-Omamma Indigenes Lawyers.

As a practicing Christian and devoted catholic, during his study period at the Nigerian Law School – Abuja, he was unanimously recognized and as well conferred by both the Chaplain and the entire congregation of Seat of Wisdom Catholic Chaplaincy Abuja, as the Catechist of the Chaplaincy. A honour he held throughout the period of his studentship.

A widely travelled, symbolic politician, remarkable lawyer and highly refined personality, Hon. Barr. Obinna Amagwula, is essentially a peace-loving and kind-hearted motivator, conscience-driven figure, and above all, an epitome of humility. This is why he’s blessed with a God-fearing, lovely and loving wife, Nneoma Ugonna Coleth Amagwula (Nee Chukwu) from Ohuba Awo-Omamma; and the marriage is for now, blessed with three kids, Adanna, Uchenna, and Ikenna respectively.

It is indeed the overall achievements, contributions and future potentials of this Legal Luminary and politician par excellence, Honourable Barrister Augustus Obinna Amagwula, that instigated the Parish Priest and his assistants, Parish Council members, and the entire parishioners of Christ the King Church (CKC) Awo-Omamma to confer on him a remarkable and memorable Award of Excellence, Pillar of the Church, on Monday 21st April 2014.

The Imo State Governor's Proposed Visit to Oru East LGA (Aired News-Talk)

THE GOVERNOR’S PROPOSED TOUR TO ORU EAST LGA, TOMORROW MONDAY MARCH 31, 2014

As soon as a baby is born, the first thing the woman lying in the labour room wants to hear is nothing but the cry of the newly born child; such fascinating mood is not unlike when a newly married man can’t wait to receive the news of his wife’s pregnancy. These and many more similar phenomena are being witnessed on a daily basis in every facet of human endeavours.

Few days ago, the news of the tour to the twenty-seven (27) Local Government Areas in Imo State by Governor Rochas Okorocha was widely in circulation in all the nooks and crannies of the state; an information the entire people of the state couldn’t wait to receive just like a woman expecting the cry of her newly born baby, due to their enormous love for the governor in question.

The aforementioned love being exhibited by Imolites both home and in the diaspora, towards the governor, is not unconnected to the level of capital project embarked upon by the governor. Within two years in office, the governor ensured that all the promises he made during his political campaign came to reality, by practically putting virtually everything in place in all the localities in the state.

First and foremost, Governor Rochas Okorocha was the first among all governors in Nigeria, to implement the recent minimum wage that was signed into law by the National Assembly.

He further ensured that, all the civil servants in Imo State were paid as and when due, and as well continued to shower them with tremendous incentives to the greatest surprise of the workers in question; a routine which is being practised till date. Also, the pensioners otherwise known as the Senior Citizens, were not left out.

The governor never stopped at the above remarkable gestures, rather he went further to guarantee thorough free education to all the pupils and students in all the primary and secondary schools in the state respectively; a gesture he later extended to Imo State indigenes studying in all the tertiary institutions of the state.

As a God fearing leader, he thought it wise to ensure that all the roads in Imo State were in good and enticing shape, by awarding contracts of over one thousand kilometres (1000km) of roads including the rural roads in the state, to various contractors; a project that is still ongoing, and could be witnessed by even the blind.

Inter alia, being a governor who sees the masses as a priority, he decided to extend his administration to all the rural areas in Imo State, by instituting the Community Government Council (CGC), so that, every dick and harry in the state can freely and boldly contribute to the developmental stride of their respective autonomous communities.

These and many more projects and initiatives too numerous to mention going on in the state, are the sole reason the people of Imo State unanimously crowned him the Senior Advocate of the Masses (SAM); suffice to say that, he is indeed the heartbeat of that man in the street.

As the amiable governor and his entourage are prepared to visit Oru East LGA, come Monday March 31 – 2014, being tomorrow, the people of Oru East in its entirety cannot wait to embrace his pleasant presence, because of the unending magnanimity he has shown to the men and women of the council.

It is no longer news that the governor has, from the onset, been a true friend and lover of Oru East, going by the manner he has been carrying the people of the council along.

One amongst the good and remarkable gestures he has showcased to Oru East is the recognition cum appointment of numerous sons, daughters, and wives of the council in various notable positions in the state, since the inception of his administration. Some of these recognitions are as follows:

 The appointment of Chief Donatus Ejimfugha, as the Director of Imo Civil Guard, whom was formerly one of the Special Advisers to the Governor.

 The promotion of Evang. Esther Obong Egbuna, as the Director General of Imo Broadcasting Corporation.

 The appointment of Prince Marshal Anyanwu, as the Interim State Chairman of the ruling party in the state, All Progressives Congress (APC).

 The appointment of Mrs. Nma Nzeribe Michaels, as the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Governor on Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

 The appointment of Dr. Emma Ogbenta, as the Special Adviser (SA) to the Governor on Community Govt. Council (CGC), whom was formerly the Chairman of the Governing Board of Imo State Teaching Hospital - Orlu.

 The appointment of Hon. Lawrence Nwobodo, as the Special Adviser (SA) to the Governor on Due Process.

 The last but not the least, the recent elevation of Mrs. Stella Udogwu, as the Accountant General of Imo State. Just to mention but a few.

Above all, the entire people of Oru East, which encompass children, youths, and elders, are deeply impressed that the indefatigable governor, His Excellency Chief Rochas Anayo Etelbert Okorocaha, OON – Owelle Ndi Imo, is coming to Oru East when their beloved, exuberant, trustworthy and competent son, Barr. Obinna Augustus Amagwula, is piloting the affairs of the council.

The people of Oru East are generally of the view that, having Honourable Barrister Obinna Amagwula as the Transition Committee (TC) Chairman of the council during the visit of the Governor, would no doubt, attract fathomless blessings to the entire nineteen autonomous communities in Oru East LGA. On this note, the lovely people of Oru East have collectively tagged the proposed Governor’s visit which is expected to take place tomorrow 31st of March, 2014, at the council headquarters – Omuma by the special grace of God, as “placing a round peg in a round hole”.

Surely, now that all the leaders of Oru East are with one voice having observed the just concluded reconciliation cum peace talk in the council, is the right and ripe time for the Governor to embrace the people of the area. This is why the entire leaders of Oru East is pleading with all the occupants in the area, which include the technocrats, academics, industrialists, politicians, civil/public servants, traders, artisans, school children, sport men and women, Ndi-Eze, Ndi Nze na Ozo, commercial drivers and motorcyclists, and the youth, regardless of their political affiliations, to come out en masse to welcome the lovely and loving Governor.

At this juncture, I’m pleased to announce to my beloved people of Oru East that, the governor who has made Imolites to acknowledge the fact that good governance is their right, not their privilege, is coming to cheer with the overall members of Oru East tomorrow; thus, no living soul belonging to Oru East is expected to be absent at the occasion.

Governor anyi, Owelle Ndi Imo, ndi Oru East na asi gi, ije oma ooo!

Recent Dimensions of Sexual Abuse

RECENT DIMENSIONS OF SEXUAL ABUSE: A PARADOXICAL SCENARIO

Brethren, never allow the negative experiences in your life to spoil all the good things you’re blessed with. Always choose to acquire eternal happiness, because, it is the only factor that can grant you an eternal life. I’m putting up this candid warning because what I witness or hear on a daily basis has suddenly paralyzed my entire skeletal system.

I’ve come to realize lately that, most of us indulge in dirty acts due to the negative experiences encountered in the past. Even, such “dirty acts” have become a way of life of the people involved. Frankly, I’m deeply bemused by this anomaly; this is why I chose to bemoan bitterly over it, through this avenue.

If I may ask; what exactly could make a man in his right senses to change his lifestyle for bad, without being propelled by any impulse? Could it be the natural lingering phenomenon regarding man’s quest to taste what he’s yet to taste? Please, this question really requires an answer, because I’m rightly placed in an extreme state of imbroglio due to the vagueness of most occurrences across the globe.

I don’t think this should also be tagged as a “mystery”, as it’s usually cited by all and sundry when issues that are beyond human comprehension are raised; because I’m strongly of the view that whatever that’s being created or invented by mankind must not be seen as a mysterious phenomenon.

Maybe we should drive straight to our destination, rather than, putting up a digression. Well, our concern for today is all about the recent dimensions of sexual abuses, which I’ve personally tagged as “a paradoxical scenario”.

According to the context of this edition, “sexual” has to do with, those feelings or activities that are connected with the act of sex or with the desire for sex.

Please brethren, isn’t it a paradox for one to be seen enjoying an act that has no iota of link to pleasure? I’m asking this because my eyes have seen, and my both ears have as well heard profoundly as regards several paradoxical anomalies in respect to sexual abuses.

How can a fully fledged man, in his fifties for instance, be caught “making love” to or raping a barely six-year old female child or thereabouts? As if that of child abuse wasn’t enough, they went further to include animals in the barbaric act; of course, recently many has been caught doing it with a goat or dog as the case may be.

Another devastating dimension is the one that has to do with incest. Yes, it’s no longer news that severally, blood related persons have been caught “making love” to each other. For instance, many ladies have been allegedly caught often times sleeping with their younger/elder brothers of the same mother. The most ugly part of this, is that of a father indulging his daughter in the act. What’s actually happening to us? Could it be the sign of end-time as it’s widely believed? Well, let’s ride on!

The most confusing aspect of sexual abuse is the one that has to do with similar sexes or genders. Homosexuality has suddenly dominated the society in spite of the newly signed law by the Nigeria’s National Assembly that forbids the crazy act. If I mention “Nigeria’s National Assembly”, it appears as if the act is only taking place in Nigeria; on the contrary, to the best of my knowledge, this is a global practice that didn’t even commenced in Nigeria.

Inter alia, I’ve even heard of the situation whereby a man was caught having a sexual intercourse with a mad woman. One may ask or exclaim; mad woman? But the fact is that, it is real; yes, the sane and the insane have been reportedly caught in the act. And, the people involved may say, it’s enjoyable. What a paradox!

Even, what about that of extramarital affairs? Of course, several married women had been caught in most occasions “enjoying” the act with another man; or vice-versa. A paradoxical scenario indeed! Honestly, we’re really seeking for the wrath of God in our respective lives, if only we really know who is “God”. Because, going by the countenance of the scenario, it seems the people in question are yet to know who’s God.

What about the situation whereby unmarried youths indulge in the act as if they are participating in football matches? How can something designed for only married couples, be evenly disseminated among all dicks and harries like mere peanuts? Hour of deliverance!

More so, the type that exists in our various churches cannot be overemphasized. In most cases, the so-called clergy men or men of God have allegedly been found sleeping with female members of their respective congregations, all in the name of deliverance, spiritual cleansing or what have you. The most painful part is that, most of the persons involved were married women.

Above all, most pathetically, my utmost decry faces those who continually patronize sex toys, or who only believe in masturbation while wanting to quench their respective sexual urges on a daily basis. We really need to return to our right senses because apparently, we’ve derailed tremendously and lost our senses as well.

I’m of the view that, apart from the so-called social pleasure being derived from the disgusting acts, most of the incidence are linked to occult ritualism. Yes, most of these people indulge in the loathsome acts in order to initiate or renew their occult sacrifices. In other words, those people don’t do it for the sake of pleasure, but solely for the sake of money or wealth. Whilst, some of the participants are believed to be passing through spells due to a certain evil act they committed in the past. Surely, the evil that men do live with them.

But, no matter how far we’ve derailed, we can still turnaround and come back to our creator. Thus, I’m urging each of everyone of us to retrench our respective steps in order to seek for God’s face. Mind you, no sacrifice in respect to cleansing would be too much, if you really and genuinely want to come back to God. I repeat; hour of deliverance.

Who knows, tomorrow might be too late. Therefore, this is the ripe time for the proposed deliverance or total turnaround. Please, don’t take this chance for granted, because you might not be privileged to encounter a second chance. Think about it!

My Solidarity Message to the New Imo State Police Commissioner

MY SOLIDARITY MESSAGE TO THE NEW IMO STATE POLICE BOSS

Brethren, do you know that worry does nothing but steal your joy, and as well keep you very busy doing nothing? In case you were yet to know, believe me, this is nothing but a fact. This is why I always ask you to free yourself and fly; and to actualize this, you must accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence, and most importantly, face your future without fear.

You must thoroughly abide by the above rule if you really wish to distance your person from worry. Thus, you must not take thoroughness for granted when dealing with any matter, if you’re really interested in coming up with the best at the end of the long run.

Lest I forget; few days ago while going through one of the social media I’m addicted to, Facebook precisely, I came across a certain striking news that amused my person greatly. Reportedly, a certain woman in the person of Misao Okawa at the age of 116, who happens to hail from Japan in Asia, was posed as the world’s oldest person. Quickly I asked myself, on what ground did the reporters conclude that this woman was the oldest in the world; were they able to locate all the local or remote localities in the universe before arriving at such amusing conclusion. In other words, did they embrace thoroughness why carrying out their research? Honestly I’m so concerned about thoroughness because I sincerely believe in its efficacy. Please, pardon the digression.

Let’s face the business of the day squarely. And, if the said business must be faced thoroughly, then I wish to quickly remind you of what we have for today, for the interest of those of us with low memory, coupled with those who are just coming. Our business for today remains, my proposed open solidarity message to the current Imo State Police boss who came into the ‘Eastern Heartland’ barely few weeks ago. I proposed to present this message/note because of the interest I’ve for humanitarianism, coupled with activism. As a Crime/Social analyst, and a devoted activist as well, my soul won’t be at rest if I fail to present this piece.

Surely, no doubt, change remains the only constant factor in life; even an imbecile comprehends this language to the fullness. This is the reason we all must be willing and ready to welcome and embrace change at all time. For instance, barely two months ago, we received the striking news that the former Imo State Police Commissioner (boss), among some other state commissioners, would be redeployed to other different police quarters in the country. A news that totally placed my person to a state of imbroglio; needless to say that, I was partially paralyzed. But what else could I do, than to accept the existence of ‘change’, in good faith. Yes, change is our fate, and we must always accept it in good faith. Let’s ride on!

It’s no longer news that a new Police Commissioner in the person of CP Abdulmajid Ali, has arrived in the state, and as well resumed duty. Believe me, prior to his arrival, I prayed vigorously and fervently to God to ensure that someone of higher competence occupies the vacant seat. And, as I’m communicating to you right now, I’m duly convinced that my prayer was answered. So many signs which I’ve observed so far in respect to this, are the proof to my presumption.

The statement the man in question made the day he was formerly hosted (received) by the Governor of Imo State, Chief Rochas Okorocha, which I’ll never forget in a hurry, was one of the signs I just mentioned. On that fateful day, at the Government House – Owerri, Monday February 17 – 2014 to be precise, he unequivocally made it clear that, he was in the state for serious assignment and warned criminals to steer clear of the state, with the view that he would make the state extremely hot for them; he further stated that, he was not in the state for a ‘tea party’. Another comment he made that impressed me was the warning he issued to politicians against heating up the polity, thereby stating that, he would not tolerate lawlessness on the parts of the politicians in the state.

That simply means, beyond any reasonable doubt, he’s here for nothing but business, as it was left by his predecessor. And his business remains, protection of lives and property. Above all, I’ve personally gone through his past records, and they were very impressive.

I sincerely pray that, he would never derail from that candid statement he made openly on that special and historic day. I really want him to deliver far more than his immediate predecessor. And, to actualize this, there are some tangible facts he must note.

First and foremost, he must be willing to work with everyone. In other words, his doors must be open for those who are into like business with him. When I mention ‘like business’, I simply mean similar business. We’re on security matter, therefore, there’s no need to expatiate. As a security guru, I expect him to understand my language fully.

Secondly Sir, endeavour to maintain and enhance the ongoing Community Policing in the state. And to actualize this, all hands must be on deck; in a nutshell, every dick and harry has a quota to contribute. Suffice to say; this routine requires absolute and thorough networking. Thus, no facet of the state is expected to be left behind. Inter alia, our borders ought to remain formidable to ensure that, no bad egg enters the state.

Above all, my honourable Commissioner, please I encourage you to be media friendly, so that, everyone in the state would be duly informed on what’s happening in the state as regards security. Believe me, media is a very veritable tool requires in eradication of crimes or societal social-vices. When I say ‘media’, I’m referring to both the print and electronic aspects.

I want you to note Sir, that, Imolites are right behind you. Every patriotic occupant of the state is willing to support your administration. Yes, we’re sincerely by your side because, we anticipate nothing less than the best from this mission. Summarily, we expect nothing but thoroughness from you and your ebullient team.

I also want to disclose to you that, the entire members of Imo Fans Fortress (IMOFAF) – a Non Governmental Organization that fosters unionism among all Imo occupants, which Comrade Fred Nwaozor is the Founder/Leader, are ever ready to work hand-in-glove with your leadership. The interest of Imo as a whole is IMOFAF’s paramount concern, therefore, it must assist anyone who is sincerely willing and ready to protect or safeguard the four-corners of the state.

At this juncture, I say, you’re highly welcome to the Eastern Heartland, Sir. But don’t forget, for you to serve us better, you must see yourself as an indigene of the state; that is, as one whose blood runs in the state. Think about it, while I continue to pray for you and your entire team!
