The departure of President Jonathan to South Africa signaled another transformation agenda to Nigeria's Government account. As Nigeria must surely spend huge sum of money to cover all expenses by Mr. President and his entourage to Mandela's burial.
Mr. President's estacode with that of his delegation will cost Nigeria nothing less than what South African Government budgeted for Mandela's burial.
President Jonathan is known to travel with large contingents to foreign engagements. He was accompanied by a 600-man delegation to the UN general assembly some few months ago in New York. About two Month or so, a delegation of more than 800 men accompanied Him to the holy land of Israel for Christian pilgrimage. All expenses by Mr. President and his gang of thieves are well taken care of and paid from tax payers money.
Millions are extravagantly wasted on framed official engagements while our people continue to languish in hunger, insecurity, disease and squalor.
It's inevitable, this history must repeat itself to South Africa.
South Africa has welcomed a madman's delegation of big fat belly men with no credibility to exhibit. They are hosting the most inhuman people who bragged about corruption and will deliver nothing to South Africa. The only ones to gain are South African Breweries.
A delegation of mourners arrived Johannesburg accompanying President Jonathan to say farewell to Nelson Mandela, a great hero and a role model.
Madiba 95, plays a very significant role in fighting for the freedom of South Africa, leaving behind credible characters to emulate.
Mandela was an African nationalist, an ideological position he held since joining the ANC, also being "a democrat, and a socialist". Although he presented himself in an autocratic manner in several speeches, Mandela was a devout believer in democracy and abided by majority decisions even when deeply disagreeing with them. He held a conviction that "inclusivity, accountability and freedom of speech" were the fundamentals of democracy, and was driven by a belief in natural and human rights. This belief drove him to not only pursue racial equality but also to promote gay rights as part of the post-apartheid reforms.
A democratic socialist, Mandela was "openly opposed to capitalism, private land-ownership and the power of big money". Influenced by Marxism, during the revolution Mandela advocated scientific socialism, although he denied being a communist during the Treason Trial.
Biographer David James Smith thought this untrue, stating that Mandela "embraced communism and communists" in the late 1950s and early 1960s, though was a "fellow traveler" rather than a party member.
In the 1955 Freedom Charter, which Mandela had helped created, it called for the nationalization of banks, gold mines, and land, believing it necessary to ensure equal distribution of wealth. Despite these beliefs, Mandela nationalized nothing during his presidency, fearing that this would scare away foreign investors.
This decision was in part influenced by the fall of the socialist states in the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc during the early 1990s. Tributes to Nelson Mandela, the legendary politician and freedom. I wish we can have our own Mandela in Nigeria.
Nigeria and its leaders lacks almost all of Madiba's qualities, their only aims are to enrich themselves, own lands and their dubious characters are difficult to point out. They are professional thieves, enemies of national of progress and knows nothing rather than sucking human blood.
The soul of Madiba will surely lie perfectly in rest, he has definitely escaped being in hell since he wasn't involved in Nigeria's leadership. Nigeria's top Government officials are one of a kind, they only exist in Nigeria where corruption has been established as Grand Commander of the Federal Republic and are completely heartless.
From 1960 to date, nothing real has been achieved when talking about dividends of Democracy. The Military dictators has recorded more achievements than the so-called government of the people by the people and for the people. In Nigeria, democracy is simply a demonstration of craze by some selected cowards, opportune to be appointed by their Godfathers to exhibit their foolishness and never by the people nor to the people.
Once they maneuver into national leadership, the first objective is to enrich themselves, their families, close friends and relatives. Their Godfathers most also be given opportunities and rooms to get big money as a way of compensation paid for installing them in national business against the wishes of the electorates.
Under President Jonathan, Nigeria has totally achieved nothing interms of developments, nothing beneficial did his leadership came with nor did any capital project rather added sufferings to the common man and shows no sign of delivering any.
If I am to rate this government, I will simply say: from where? Because no compass can measure the direction of progress achieved under Jonathan regime as it lacks magnitude neither direction, it has no latitude nor does it has altitude.
Jonathan will forever remained the dullest President Nigeria has ever witnessed. Gudluck Haram as he's called, has demonstrated his inability to govern Nigeria and his ineligibility to manage its resources. Corruption is now a cardinal principle and one among the pillars in Jonathan's Government.
It's important we call a spade a spade and not a farm implement. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, is the most corrupt President Nigeria has accidentally accommodate.
To prove me wrong, he should openly refute all allegations of corruption leveled against him and further substantiate that with a real fight against corruption, not the usual way of deceiving Nigerians as in the case of Aviation Minister Stella Oduah who miraculously bought two BMW cars at a price of a Tokumbo Jet.
Just recently, about N800 Billion was said to be missing from Excess Crude Account. Shortly before 2011 general elections, about N2.7 Trillion was stolen in the name of subsidy. And recently, N500 billion was said to be missing from SURE-P account. These do not include the N8 Trillion stolen directly from NNPC and official oil theft of four hundred thousand barrels per day.
Just between 2011 and 2013, over N7 trillion unfulfilled budgetary allocations and trillions in security votes could not be accounted for; totaling over N14 Trillion stolen from the people of Nigeria in less than three years. These amounts does not include the amount stolen in the guise of restoring power, neither does it include the amount stolen from the privatization of national assets including NEPA. The more money the nation made, the more poorer the people became. Hmm!! Only in Nigeria we heard money has wings, they walk on their own and fly away.
It's still is a mystery how the cost of subsidy shot up to N1.3 Trillion in just one year of Jonathan's administration, especially since ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo's administration spent N300 billion per year.
When the Obasanjo government left power in 2007, the country was no longer in debt and the $30 billion foreign debt that Obasanjo met when he came to power in 1999 was fully paid off. Today, under the administration of Jonathan, the country owes debt to the tune of $30 billion and is still borrowing.
What baffles me is that in the midst of these, the leadership had mischievously gone ahead to share some huge funds in the name of Excess Crude revenue when it should have stored it up for the coming year Foreign reserves that have been depleted from $80 billion during the Obasanjo administration to N33 billion under the administration of Goodluck Jonathan. Wow!! Mandela indeed.
It was reported that when the Obasanjo administration left power in 2007, $23 billion was left in the Excess Crude Account after he built it up from nothing in 1999; by January 2012 the account was empty because the money has been squandered and the account scrapped. What a transformation.
Hiring talkative to call you Mandela is never professional, nor does it make any sense, neither a way of attracting cheap popularity but a national disgrace of oneself, and a presidential foolishness. Kidnapping someone's name and gluing it to you will never overshadow the negative image you painted yourself.
To become a Mandela, you required integrity and devotion to render selfless services to man and humanity. You need to be patriotic and God fearing, you should set aside any political segregation and face the challenges of your dear nation.
To become a Mandela, you have to fight for your masses freedom not captivating them. You have to shun corruption not promoting it. Fight injustice not cultivating it, build unity not destroying it. Before you become Madiba, honesty must be your guidance not rascality.
Becoming Madiba is never a day job, nor does it have room for deceivers. No democratic dictator who packages his country in a foil, put under lock and key in a deep freezer (even in the kindergarten) can childishly compare his so-called self to any National Icon like Nelson Mandela after all the promises he failed to fulfills.
Madam!! Call your best couple to order, as long as you want him to be remembered like Mandela. Teach him how to be patriotic, tutor him on what honesty means, show him how to become a leader not a boss, lecture him on loyalty, instruct him to respect Nigeria, force him to fight corruption, motivate him to be dedicate himself to his fatherland, bend him to obey the rules of engagement, command him to cultivate justice, order him to deliver his objectives, hold him not to be inpatient and discourage him from covering up criminals and looters.
Although, one can't tell if Madam Lazarus poses any the above qualities, but she may be lucky to have gotten some because i heard a legislator calling her Jesus Christ. Nawa o!! It's absolutely barbaric for people to address criminals with honest and respectable names, it's a great mistake and only criminals can honour criminals in such embarrassing fashion. No wonder birds of the same feather, flew together.
Madam!! It's your duties and responsibilities to make your husband a great leader, it's for your own good and happiness to see your husband leaving behind his manhood for Nigeria similar to the one left by Chief Ojukwu. Hmm!! Let me pause here before Dame Jonathan impatiently landed on me but to be frank, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan must emulate some qualities and characters similar to Nelson Mandela.
Viva Mandela!!! Viva Madiba!!!

Ask Ebele, What Offence Did Nigerian Youths Committed?
Nigeria has finally announced it intention to bar commercial motorcycles from operation nationwide. This government has lost it bearing and fast driving Nigeria and it abundant talent to graveyard. A living hell like Nigeria with millions of unemployed youths challenging for a top spot in world ranking of the highest nations with almost zero probability of getting a jobs, is said to be looking set to endanger itself by rendering it youths invalid without any means of livelihood.
Commercial motorcycle driving better known as Okada or Achaba is the leading employer of labour and source of survival to millions of youths with no access to jobs, electricity, security, clean drinking water, good roads, qualitative education, hygienic environment, farm input, healthcare and infrastructure.
Okada has been in operation for many decades now, providing Nigerians with basic needs than any known establishment. Okada has proven to be the top employer of labour more than the Federal Government itself with all state governments combined. I wonder how any responsible government that failed to create employments for it citizens will relieved them off theirs?
This government is so deaf and dump in all aspects of human development since it inception.
With the way things are moving, there must be a doubt if this current administration will be a successful regime. Nothing fruitful if not one (availability of pms) has ever been recorded from the fish brains in leadership and shows no sign of recording any. They are simply ninconpoops and devilish minds ready to destroy the foundations of Nigeria's founding fathers and disunite the long togetherness Nigeria and it people enjoys.
For any reasonable government to implement any national measure, those measures must be tested severally before implementation. Only tests that yielded desirable results aligned with national interest which must be of benefits to all citizens are implemented. But never in Nigeria, where measures are implemented based on personal and selfish interest.
Once you are giving a chance or selected to participate in leadership, You automatically became above the law, giving you the right to direct, command, mandate, instruct and implement whatever nonsense you thought of in beer parlours and your words are final like a revelation from above, you automatically became a living God.
Nigerian government failed to reason and learn from mistakes in many states that imposed ban on commercial motorcycles and the dangers it engulfed.
Let's use Kano State as a case study. Imagine the consequences in it and the dangers that will befall Nigeria very soon.
Achaba was banned in Kano state by the present administration about a year and half ago to curtail the rising cases of insecurity in the state. The state government imported more than one thousand commercial tricycles (Keke Napep) and distributed to various youths across the state to ease the transportation problems as a result of the absence of Okada and generate employments for the unemployed Okada riders that lost their jobs.
The government also bought about one thousand brand new Toyota Corollas for use as Taxis to replace Okada in the state. An institute of agriculture was commissioned alongside institute of security and sport in order to accommodate the teaming unemployed youths.
A skills acquisition center was also established where the Ex-Okada riders will be trained on various skills to be self reliant. But all in vain.
The city of Kano as at today, is home to all sorts of crimes, criminals stationed in all parts of the ancient city, mostly in the city centers where commercial activities are done.
A densely populated city like Kano ( being the highest populated state in Nigeria revealed by the 2006 national census) houses more than 1.6m registered commercial motorcycle riders and numerous unregistered riders.
Based on the outcome of our survey, the banned on Okada in Kano state rendered more than two million youths jobless.
Kano state government in its effort, distributed 1000 cars and more than 1000 tricycles to replace Okada and employ the youths feeding from it. A skills acquisition centers which trained thousands of youths alongside institutes of agriculture, sport and security.
All efforts by Kano state in training its youths to be self reliant didn't yield any desirable result.
The number of jobs created by Kano state government is nothing compared to the number of jobs lost due to the banned on Okada. The thousands job opportunities that were created can't match the over two million jobs that were killed.
Based on the final outcome of our research in Kano state. It's on record that the banned on Okada have resulted to over two million cases of divorce across the state in just two years due to lack of means by many men to cater for the needs and well being of their families. The banned on Okada is primarily the genesis of nearly 96% of the whole cases of divorce, because commercial motorcycle employed about two million of their husbands and they all depends on it for their day to day activities and is their only source of livelihood.
Crimes in the city are now at their highest peak, youths roamed the streets day and night without any sign of hope in search of what to eat, the government has failed to empower the vast number of youths it sacked off their jobs.
Their motorcycles are only used for evening shows or in criminal activities but never for business again, they are now nearly as useless and unproductive as a doormat.
Security of lives and properties has never been giving any priority from those in leadership rather than the growth of their bank accounts. Security is now a booming business sector where billions are bumped in everyday to tackle the menace of insecurity but ended up in someone's pocket.
Unaccountable billions ment for the funding of security forces and security operations are stolen every night with nothing giving to the appropriate channel. To my astonish, the whole security lapses are blamed on commercial motorcycle riders. What a tragedy.
You must concur with the fact that banning Okada in the trouble states of Borno and Yobe for the past 3 years since 2010 didn't record any success as nothing positive has been achieved as a result.
Heavy explosion and gunshots are heard everyday without Okada operating in the regions for more than three years.
Did banning Okada in Plateau State stopped the long existing crisis in the state?
Kaduna State also banned Achaba a year back or so, but later recalled them back to operations for reasons best known to them.
No state in Nigeria has recorded any success in trying to curve Okada out of their system for many useless security measures.
If at all justice is done, commercial motorcycles may never be a national issue. The best way for an improve security situations and reduce crimes in any habitat is to have God in mind, deliver justice and equal treatment to all regardless of ethnicity, cultural or religious dimension without any sentiment or politics.
Good governance and accountability will forever remain a tool in fighting insecurity.
Immorality and Illiteracy is among our major national deficiencies. High level of corruption always lead to oppression against the electorates, which in returns may force the oppressed masses to revolt and seek for their freedom.
I kept wondering why will any nation vested too much powers to some few corrupted opportunists that knows nothing compared to the taste of local gin (Ogogoro)? They own so much powers and immunity, giving them privileges and rights to loot the nation's treasury and remain untouchable. Are they above the law?
They feels too powerful, thinking they are heroes, not knowing they are nobody but a bunch of fools, a syndicate of unforgiving devils and products of a corrupt marriage.
They controlled and occupied all the national resources and can alter with it on selfish interest with little or non auditing from supervisory agencies once they are compromised.
Our so-called leaders are sucking the nation dry, they operate and manage the national resources like their fathers businesses at same time transferring whatever profit gained into their offshore accounts abroad and the capital itself is not secured.
Many developed countries strengthened their economy using Nigeria's stolen wealth while our economy is back sliding every count of the clock without any sign of kicking up not to talk of acceleration.
What only bothers to them is the welfare of their wards, their children's education, the exotic cars their girlfriends wanted, the kinds or designs of mansions they saw in the UK, safety of the jets hanging in their air wings, which designer suite to wear, which country to go shopping, which jet to use for holiday travels, which island has the most beautiful babes, how much to keep at home for domestic needs and how much to keep for their colleagues (Armed Robbers) in case they came knocking.
History will save it that the most greedy, wicked, corrupted and selfish humans evolved in Nigeria. Their ancestral origin and inherited characters still remained unknown, as no one could tell where they inherited their corrupt characters.
Generations came and go, each generation exhibits some certain characteristics and features in common with many generations before it. Ours is a generation of blood suckers, a people of mischief, envy, disaster, corruption, violence, hatred and all sort of criminal activities. Only God knows the barbaric generation that passed on this rotten and devilish characters to Nigerian leaders as Only Him (God) can tell who the mother of a cameleon is.
One day for sure, Nigeria must inevitably be a living heaven for us or our successors, only if we rise to reject bad governance and sacrifice our lives for the betterments of our generations unborn. Surely, Nemesis must take it cause, now or later, either by men or by God.
Please take this to be an examination question.
(Q1). The ban on Okada operations in Kano state is now about two years old. Discuss it significances and the way it positively affect the lives of the poor people of Kano state?
(Q2). Assuming to be an adviser. In which way will you advice any state or nation at a stage of total security collapse with high rate of unemployment intending to ban Okada operations?
