NIGERIA AT THE CRUCIFIX by Obele Nwa Mpa Nnukwu.

Duirng the days of MANDATORS, the Rastafarian Musician from AKWA Ibom, he sang a Music called RAT race and then we believe that Nigeria is running a RAT RACE but today the Race we are running is Kpukpunkpu Ogene, the worst is that Father of literature, Ogbonge Chief Chinualumogu Achebe once said "Things has fallen Apart and the Center can no longer hold", but it is evident that they were talking about generation apart, not this one we are witnessing today.

I am not here to lament or find Solution to the Woes betiding the Nation. 

I am here to say NTOOR, once, Nigeria with Global backing invaded the Chosen of God way back from 1967 - 1970 and they rained death on innocent sojourners who live around underdeveloped places, cleansing the lands with good deeds and Ultra Development , but the prize we got was plots to eradicate same from surface of the Earth, but who shall curse who God blessed?.

Fast forward to date.. We said that Nigeria must be One, no doubt, but being one and remaining one is a thing that needs a leader with Potential and directions, and one can find that within Ndigbo Born and buttered with IGBO DNA, it is not pride but a fact that is not diluted.

You may choose to disagree with me and I agree that it is your right because an Igbo saying provides "Agaghi ezu welu Malu ife" (All can't reason right at same time).

There was a time, when Egypt who founded Education in the World which was why they were the people who started University and Civilization started in Egypt as well.

When they faced a similar situation just like us, they buried the Tribal feelings, they woke up from a Slumber and face reality, when they knew that there shall be excruciating 7 years of intense famine, they recruited Joseph, a Prisoner and a Slave which is like having OSU to be the King in Alaigbo of century ago (an imposicant) but Egyptians did just that and that saved them and the world as Joseph, a Brother from another divide used what God deposited in him to devise a way of prosperity even in wildest of time and the Legend of Egypt was super..

At a time after Isreal chased Jephtah away because he is illegitimate Child, they face persecution more than Nigeria is facing and they send Elders to go and negotiate truce, come with me let's Read the book of JUDGE

11.. 

Jephthah(A) the Gileadite was a mighty warrior.(B) His father was Gilead;(C) his mother was a prostitute.(D) 2 Gilead’s wife also bore him sons, and when they were grown up, they drove Jephthah away. “You are not going to get any inheritance in our family,” they said, “because you are the son of another woman.” 3 So Jephthah fled from his brothers and settled in the land of Tob,(E) where a gang of scoundrels(F) gathered around him and followed him.

4 Some time later, when the Ammonites(G) were fighting against Israel, 5 the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob. 6 “Come,” they said, “be our commander, so we can fight the Ammonites.”

7 Jephthah said to them, “Didn’t you hate me and drive me from my father’s house?(H) Why do you come to me now, when you’re in trouble?”

8 The elders of Gilead said to him, “Nevertheless, we are turning to you now; come with us to fight the Ammonites, and you will be head(I) over all of us who live in Gilead.”

9 Jephthah answered, “Suppose you take me back to fight the Ammonites and the Lord gives them to me—will I really be your head?”

10 The elders of Gilead replied, “The Lord is our witness;(J) we will certainly do as you say.” 11 So Jephthah went with the elders(K) of Gilead, and the people made him head and commander over them. And he repeated(L) all his words before the Lord in Mizpah.(M).....

THE EGYPT and ISREAL ANALOGY is just to establish that Nation with Brian takes saving grace wherever it comes from, not Nigeria where Nwa Nza the bird will be turning to Barbecue and she will be shouting that she is now Radiating Oil as thing of beauty.

FIRST it was our DOLLARS, EURO and other Currencies that Sky rocketed, well we can say that street people weren't concerned because they don't know the effect, but once the price of those currencies were touched, the price of Garri must be affected, just because we don't have anything we produce or planned to produce that will help our revenue, rather we rely on China Mass and Mess productions, not only that they manufacture everything we use, we also go to them with Cap in hand for Loan which when given to us, we can't even use it for the purpose it was secured for.

Then the prices of FUEL, KERO was affected, then Pure Water which replaced PIPE BORNE WATER because even our Water Corporation went Moribunds, though we still have Ministers in charge of that and one will wonder, what then is the ministry doing?.

Bread have tripled, cost of Living hiked and now the Price of Diesel have climbed over the Edge and escape, Things are getting out of hand so bad that even Trains ran out of Gas in Nigeria, Aviation Fuels are so high that Air fare now is equal to international route.

Our Youths are getting Sodomic, the ones that are not doing Drugs with Local Yahoo  are now into RITUALS just to make money because the Government refused creating enable environment for Jobs to Pop up.

Our girls no longer care if the Ritual patronizing boys uses them for Rituals, as long as they feed them and give them material things, while the parents stand hands Akimbo and applaud thier Children who are still in School but swimming in Millions because they know the route to Dibias house.

In the present Nigeria things are no longer falling apart as it has stayed apart, but the irony is that we are too sentimental blind to  cure it.

Another election is coming and mostly Umuigbo do not have PVC to Vote, they will say "VOTE DOESN'T COUNT", they refused to accept that if Votes don't count nobody will campaign which waste huge money, nobody will buy your Vote (another Idiotic trading), if Votes are useless why then do they beg for your Votes?.

There are fraud in Elections same as in giving out Federal Jobs where Umuigbo with excellent marks will be benched for a Kuturu infested Drop out who can't articulate things, but foisted based on QUOTA system. 

All in all, get your Voters Card and Vote, that's the price you pay to get us right back on track.

Listen, not that I want to change your mind, but for this to serve as evidence that i forewarned us before the last disaster fall in place.

I want us to know that the present situation facing the Nation can only be revived by a tested and agile Leader, a leader who has shown ability to rescue.. Restore and redirect... One who can pull Nigeria out of the drudgery.. But that person must have record of how great he have dealt with his State or shown record of his deed, not will do.

Somebody who worked like PETER OBI and his days in Anambra State which is examplary. 

The man who met the state at the worst moment and bring it back to Sanity and he did it without noise. 

The Nation needs restoration...if that is not done, the kind of Famine that may come next may force families from eating Human being.. Ekquchagom and I rest my Pen not without asking us, do we need to be ETHNICAL jaundiced politically or we need one who will place this Nation at right place in life?
