Tuesday Tandem..

Losses of Nigeria, gain to Sierra Leone by Last Born.. 

Because of Political calculus jinxed with Ism and Schism that has eaten out the Heart of the Nation, coupled with the Jaundiced and prevailing bigoted Religious choices, which breeds active mediocre that laid the Civil service of the Nation into Comatosic Basket.

We live in abject Bondage.. 

Since the Pillars of the Nation were built on pure Mediocrity and flexible stupidity, which refused to allow the nation insert Round Peg into a round Pole, instead we force blunt rectangular Pole into an Oval Hole and the damages can never be repaired or reconstructed, not for lack of Ideas on who to effect the repairs, but for the dead fact that for repairs, they will bring a Walkman dangling, Onion seller and pay him heavily and handsomely to Fix a matter that he can't fathom in Century to come, which must be why even at this age and time our leaders travels to China to take Loan, sign documents prepared in Chinese without translated copy and come back home with smiles as if they have discovered a formula that will oust CORONA the Dreaded Virus. 

The saying which provides "What you are looking for in SOKOTO is embedded in your SHOKOTO(Yoroba name for Trouser)But that lost on translation in Nigeria, as we are the Nation of people who are in Middle of the Sea and Soap is smooching the eyes.We are dumb enough not to scoop water from the Sea and rid our faces of the Soap. 

We have Men and Women who we agreed will not be used, never to be used, not because they are not good or trusted but because they are from a Tribe blessed by Divinity, so much that whatever they touch prospered and instead it will bring smiles and gladden the hearts of compatriots, it creates enmity that weakens the Nation. 

Yet a developed and developing nation make haste and engage qualities of same isolated people because they want to progress as against us that love retrogress, the name of Ngozi Okonjo Iweala comes to mind, the woman is not just a brain but active and functional plus in Financial kingdom, even as Nigeria her nation never wanted her services and guidance, South Africa a Nation that Nigeria can never rise to meet in matters of Development engage her as Brain behind restructuring the nation's economy. 

Not as is she never wanted to help this nation of Blind folded citizens to come out from the Dark Room of destitute and desperation, after all when she was our Minister of Finance she negotiated a Global Loan write off for Nigeria, a feat that can only come from the stables of a genius, she did that effortless and our debt Card was Zero and zero encumbrance, but before she turn around to heave sigh of relief that her nation is no Longer a Debt carrying one, we have borrowed 3 times what was erazed for us... But the quandary was.. The money we borrowed where was it used?.. Is it generating fund that can pay the loan back?. 

Well the truth is that most of the Loan never even reach destination as it was rerouted from source to sit on certain individual account, so after the demise of the individuals, we may be seeing grace of Abacha whose loot kept coming to us in Billions of Dollars, which if in a Nation with Sense his families would have permanent Room in Kuje, but why it can't happen is because of his Tribe and affiliation, a retarded mind set that kept the Nation in bad grace and left us unprogressive from all things. 

I read about the engagement of DEZIANI MADUEKE by another country to help and refocus the nations economy and I was like is this Dominican Republic for real?.. Yes they are for real, they saw how Nigeria is burying self under the guise of Tribal affliction, they choose a high ground and a progressive channel. 

They want DEZIANI who we despised, they saw in her a deliverer and not what we we want the World to see. 

Now I read how Sierra Leone gave our own INNOSON, many OIL blocks.. I hope we all know INNOSON, the Nnewi man who is manufacturing CARS, SUV, TRUCKS, HILUX, HUMMER BUSES, PLANE PARTS, also helping the Military to build certain things which is off the Record, yes he is that Man but one night the Security of the Nation that is supposed to guide him because of the National interest, his contributions to the nation and the growth of the economy, they jumped his fence, slap the Wife, grab the Man like a common Criminal and whisk him away, just because he happened to come from a Tribe they choose to hate for nothing. 

See what he was allocated with, in a Nation he has no DNA and or obligation to.. 

"Sierra Leone has provisionally awarded licences to Cluff Energy Africa and Innoson Oil and Gas, following the conclusion of its fourth licensing round.

Cluff Energy was awarded Blocks 23, 24, 25, 36, 37, 38, 39, 54, 55, 56, 57, 74, 75, 94 and 95. Innoson was awarded Blocks 96, 97, 114, 115, 116, 117, 133, 134 and 135.

The blocks awarded were focused around Sierra Leone’s continental shelf, with Cluff taking the northern blocks close to Guinea, while Innoson’s acreage is towards the south and close to Liberia.

A statement from the presidency said there had been six applications for offshore concessions in the round, which has been launched in January 2018.

Sierra Leone carried out a detailed assessment of companies bidding, it said, including their capacity to operate in such an environment and commitment to local content."end of report.

Now that is a Nation that wants to grow, not like what we have, a nation in Limbo. 

Now we have a crumbling economy, an economy that if not rightly handled now, it will crumble and render the nation insolvent. 

As we are now what the Nation need is not tribal sentiments nor fanfare, they need to bring out the leaders sho has shown might on whatever level they have handled. 

As the Nation have history of looters who always left behind piles of Debt, yet there are past leaders who left surplus and legendary leadership, which means they are able and capable of redirecting the veered off Nation. 

There are former Governors who did superbly well, who should be copted into the economic revival team and blessed with unlimited and unsupervised powers to bring this nation out from the decadence and into the path of greatness. 

The reward and focus of other nations on this abandoned or neglected Nigerians which they picked up and invest thier future upon is a silent slap on Nigeria, they are telling us that we have what it takes to meet the World and overcome them, but our sluggish and segregstional mentality kept us in Bondage. 

Finally, Crude Oil has fallen out of grace, but a Nation with the brand of brains we have should have watered it.. Just give the wells to those who can turn around the business, not those who prefer to sale it Raw and have unbridled fund they can't even manage, just give it to those who knows about trading and you see packaged blessings from that same zone, as they will move it out of Crude into refined and separated, then particles from the  crude will be a serious balance on the Nations financial status.

I have said my own and I remain Last Born Mpa Nnukwu.
