If Wishes were Horses..................

If Wishes were Horses, I would've preferred to be that Philantropic Rochas of the Rochas Foundation.
An Igbo man that's better Loved and Appreciated by our Northern brothers because of his immense presence there.
The man that was always the second best in every Presidential Primaries.
I've would've limited my political targeted post to only that of the Presidential Seat and nothing would've ever made me reduce to Gobernatorial. And from the way things are going, LG Chairmanship may be a very Tall-Dream for my Wish-Man come 2015.
I would've continued keeping people in Awe of me and the spirit that guides my dealings.
... I wouldn't have made myself an Oke-Okpa (Rooster) that was highly respected and feared by the animal kingdom because of their misconception about his Ara (Comb) which they took to be a Crown of Fire (Okpu Uku), only for the Rooster to call every "Dick and Harry" of the animal kingdom to touch his "Fire Crown" to know that it has 'Nothing' to hold them in Awe of him.
Our very dear Rochas has confirmed to us once more that "Nde Rev. Fada ji asukwa Trousers".
His Telenovia drama with JPros and his former Deputer has really punctuated his "Man of the People" stance with a BIG QUESTION Mark????
Only that he has also decided to do a sequel of the drama with a very bad Script of an Accident and Medical trip to abroad.
If people are Stone Blind.............My wish of being able to see has already been granted by Almighty God .......Years ago.

Administrators of "Cowardice and Timidity"

It's very unfortunate that our nation Nigeria is manned by "Administrative" Coward and Shy people. Otherwise, how can anyone explain to me why all our Ministers should continue singing same song, with same tone, rhythm,  beat and key? Prof. Barth Nnaji spent his time in Power ministry singing this song of how a "Cabal" has made our country to be more than 50years behind in our Electric Power Generation. Mrs. Diezani Alison Madueke has been singing same song for years now on why Nigeria cannot refine her Crude-Oil for domestic consumption and possible exportation. Prof. Chinedu Nebo, current Power Minister has also started practicing this "ignoble song of doom" of how a "Cabal" is depriving Nigerians "Electric Power". An amenity other nations, even smaller African countries are enjoying 'uninterruptedly' for years with 'reckless' abandon. Granted that most Nigeria's private sector driven businesses (including General Overseers ran Churches) are planted with 'Selfish Seeds' and fertilized with 'Unpatriotic Acts', the populace are very tired of listening to this Song. We don't want a song written in "Collective 'Adjectival' Noun" any more but one composed in "Proper Nouns". Simply put, the masses want those in Adminitrative positions iNigeria to be "Courageous" and "Bold" enough to name (First name, Middle name and Surname) the members of this "Cabal", at least to for us (the Masses) to know if they're being used as "Excuses" for Non-Performance.

The Too Many Dramas of my State; Imo

The too many Dramas of my State; Imo Since after the administration of late Dee Sam Onunaka Mbakwe (PhD.), Imo State has been suffering from one form of administrative drama or another especially from our so-called democratically elected Governors . It all started with Evan Enwerem (God rest his soul) and his alleged embezzlement of funds raised for Imo Airport. The drama ended with a brilliant episode that taught us the difference between "Evan" and "Evans" as our Governor then claimed to be "Evan" Which's a "First name" and not "Evans" that's a "Surname". Then came Achike Udenwa and Eight (8) years rule. His own script centered on a battle within his party PDP but between Federal (Abuja based) Faction led by Ararume/Kema Chikwe and State (Onu-ga-Onu) faction. After a sort of Nollywood shelling and bombing with accusations and counter-accusations, the drama came to an end with Achike Udenwa decamping to ACN while rigging the election for Ohakim (the Ikiri) who also left PDP to contest with PPA mandate. The Imo Drama Relay continued with The Ikiri Ohakim. The prologue of his act was the interlocking of pedestrian walk in the first week of his administration. On the second week all the interlocks were removed and carpet grasses planted, giving rise to the Movie name "Clean and Green". This was the beginning of my worry with the Lead-Role Ikiri. Even if only N500 was used to do the interlocks and N300 used to remove them, equated to WASTED N800. Hence, implying that The Ikiri had no "Thought Out" plan or mechanism or master-plan to be employed in his administration. He was only driven by ego, to become Famous and have a name attached to his era in Imo State. The epilogue was the dredging of Nwaorie (a seasonal) stream. If accomplished, it would had become the 8th-Wonder of the World. For those of us that know Owerri and it's features very well, you'll agree with me that it's far much easier to dredge Otamiri river than Nwaorie. But our Ikiri with his unwritten and undrawn master-plan decided to go with Nwaorie, making me to recall what my senior cousin who retired as Principal Accountant in Imo state Governor's office during the military era. He told me then that Milad Tanko Abubakar loved using projects that were very hard to quantify like Fumigation to harness our commonwealth in Imo State. The same tactics was used by The Ikiri in his Nwaorie River dredge and Oguta Wonder Lake. To get an expert to estimate the work done on these projects will cost more than the expended funds on the projects as Imo state will have to bring in expatriates to get the approximate figures. The drama "Clean and Green" ended by leaving Owerri and Imo State, "Dirtier and Slummy" than it met them. Then comes our "Foundation" man Rochas Kanayo Okoroacha with his cast Martin Agbaso. Thus far, the lead-role has been played by the former Deputy Gov. Jude Agbaso who was impeached on N500 Million bribery allegation for a road project that was never followed the due processes of advertising or public bidding. Meanwhile, the Act-1 Scene-1 is a Comprehensive Scholarships given to all Imo indigenes no matter their educational level in the State, but those in Tertiary institutions are alleged to still paying N20, 000. So I wonder why is it not better to call this "Tuition Fees Reduction" instead of "Scholarship". The present administration has also proven to be better in "Behind The Scene" acts than in "On The Stage" displays. While the dramas continue,  I'm still waiting for the full episode of Owelle's Vice Presidential ambition.

Is Nigeria really on the right track?

Nigerian "Idol"  has come to an end and someone has won Millions for "Entertaining" both Live and On-Screen audience for some days.
Soon, Big Brother Africa will commence and the "Entertainment" with its attendant Millions continues.... There are also many other not
Quite popular Reality TV-Shows, all on "Entertainment". This has gradually become the only sector where Nigeria is at par with USA and
higher than many other "Developed" nations of the world.
I've been wondering why no one or company want to organise Nigerian "Idol" on Science and Technology. In a nation that imports Toothpicks,
Padlocks,  Screwdriver , Kitchen Utensils,  etc from other countries. A nation that has no functional Research Centers, Good Hospitals or equipped Institutions of Higher-Learning.  A country that can not refine or add value to any of its God given resources including Human. I'm sure most of the contestants on this "Entertainment Idol" learned the trade from other bcountries but now "Nigerian Idol".
Can any History student tell me the age of development (Stone, Iron, etc) Nigeria is now. Or has it passed (jumped, should be more appropriate) all those stages of development and has caught up with USA on Entertainment Age? Our History books will tell us that all the developed nations when at this our stage of "Import Dependent", left everything and faced essentials.  Entertainment should come after Hardwork but Nigeria in her ironical fame , has come to be known as a nation that put the Cart before the Horse. And she's still Achieving unmeasurable feats. Is that not a Miracle???
No wonder, the only two successful sectors in Nigeria are; Entertainment and Religion Industries.
