Buhari Has Killed Nigeria

Human rights lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari has destroyed Nigeria.

The senior lawyer famous that Buhari has failed in his tripodal insurance policies by means of which he campaigned and received election in 2015 that are: Economic system, safety and anti-corruption.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria spoke at a human rights lecture organised by the Human Rights Writers Affiliation of Nigeria, HURIWA, with the theme: Nigerian College Youngsters; Insecurity and Human Rights, held in Abuja.

He identified that many kids can not go to high school, including that greater than seventy % faculty kids in Nigeria are out of faculties.

In line with him, from Jangebe to Chibok; from Dapchi to Kaduna between December 2020 until date, over 700 hundred faculty kids have been kidnapped with a few of them being killed or compelled into marriage.

“[They were] not kidnapped within the forests however from their colleges. It obtained so messy in Kaduna that the abductors demanded baggage of rice, vegetable oil, salt, beans and different condiments to be cooking for his or her kids pending when they’ll get sufficient cash to get them launched on ransom,” Ozekhome lamented.

He went on to say that Nigeria is at present a failed state and can’t even be known as a rustic anymore, explaining that non-state actors comparable to Boko Haram, bandits and different terrorists now possess sufficient powers to problem the federal government.

“Is {that a} nation? Does any of you who’ve kids residing in hostels and dormitories sleep along with your two eyes closed? Not figuring out of when subsequent they’ll strike? He queried.
“When President Muhammadu Buhari was campaigning for this workplace…I like my President however I don’t like his governance model and insurance policies.

“Insurance policies which have impoverished Nigeria. Insurance policies which have made Nigeria the poverty capital of the world, overtaking India. Insurance policies which have made Nigeria that was till 2015 the largest economic system in Africa overtaking South Africa and one of many seven quickest rising economic system on this planet.

“His tripodal insurance policies had been on economic system, safety and anti-corruption. The unhealthy information is that he has dismally failed in all of them. Safety is worse proper now…Boko Haram we used to have that point at the very least folks had been in a position to vote for him in 2015 and he received within the North East, displaying that although Boko Haram existed, they weren’t so rampant to stop folks from voting.

“Boko Haram has since graduated, strutting round like a proud peacock. Armed banditry has escalated, kidnapping is the order of the day. In safety, he has failed.

“In economic system, I’ve already advised you, we’re now the poverty capital of the world. What of anti-corruption? Go and verify, we’re 168 out of 180 coated by Transparency Worldwide.

“In West Africa, we’re the third most corrupt nation. So the place have the President and the federal government helped Nigeria? I had on tv and in my write-up challenged Nigerians that anybody who can carry the Holy Quran or take up the Holy Bible or for those who’re an atheist, decide up a chunk of Sango Iron and say your life is healthier off at present than you had been in 2015.

“I problem the individual for a nationwide debate however till now nobody has taken up the problem as a result of everyone is aware of issues aren’t proper. The deaf can hear it; the dumb can communicate it; the blind can see it and even the numb can really feel it.

“So it’s not a query of whether or not you might be in APC, PDP, APGA, Labour, Zenith or PPA. Starvation is aware of no strike, faith or nationality. The actual fact is that issues are unhealthy for everybody whether or not Muslims or Christian, atheist, previous males, ladies, youth and youngsters .
” Issues are unhealthy and it may very well be worse besides Nigerians come collectively and return to the drafting board. Some individuals are saying that Nigeria is a failing state and I say no. I don’t agree.

“If you happen to requested me, with all due respect, I’ll say Nigeria is a failed state. Are you aware why? It’s as a result of one of many best indices of a failed state is when non-state actors like Boko Haram, kidnappers, armed bandits have environment friendly and commensurate powers to match state actors like safety forces. That’s a failed state.

“When Boko Haram, bandits and kidnappers start to inform the federal government, ‘that is what we wish.’ Taking up lands and planting their flags as Governor Zulum of Borno State and Bello of Niger State have cried out that in some lands of their States, they’ve planted flags; they’re demanding for taxation; they difficulty identification playing cards and provides go to folks to go.
“We don’t want some other proof of a failed state. It’s not about liking or not liking a authorities, it’s about saying the fact on the bottom. Please Nigerians, let’s return to the drafting board. If you happen to like, convey all of the helicopters and fighter jets you possibly can, the reality is that the issue is extra endemic than you possibly can see.

“As a result of on the floor, it appears insecurity however beneath it’s what we name social injustice and lack of egalitarialism…Nigeria is wobbly, gobbling and fumbling as a result of it was not neatly packaged on the first of January, 1848 by Lord Lugard.

“It began with Woman Flora Luise Shaw on the eighth of January, 1897 in an article she wrote on Financial Instances the place she gave Nigeria her title “Niger Space”. And we agreed to dwell collectively. And if we agreed, allow us to dwell collectively in peace and unity. Let’s not at all times say ‘Nigeria is indivisible; it’s indestructible.’

“We don’t say that by phrases of the mouth, we nurture it. Pakistan and India was one nation; Eritrea and Ethiopia was one nation in addition to Sudan and Southern Sudan. So it’s not by merely saying it, it’s a must to nurture it.

“We should have peace and social justice… we’re speaking concerning the type of peace and social justice Chief M.Ok.O Abiola preached…Allow us to reformat and reengineer Nigeria. Let’s make a brand new structure for ourselves. A structure that will probably be… Indigenous, owned by the folks and revered by all and bonafide.

“Not a structure that was imposed by the Basic Abdusalam Abubakar authorities once they had been going again to the barracks. What number of of you already know that Nigeria truly contested the 1999 elections with no structure? Nigerians by no means made the structure by themselves however even when we’re to handle it, Part 14 of that structure stated that the first goal of the federal government is to offer welfare and safety for the folks, are we having it?”
