AEASI recently learned of this laudable initiative from my friends at Deefrent Communications and i thought to share. We all should be a part of this…become vanguards for environmental sustainability. Kindly like their facebook page, follow the conversation on twitter and plan to attend the lined up events. 

The earth has suffered unprecedented abuse. Sometimes, this abuse goes undocumented and some of the effects may remain unknown for generations to come. Humans have exploited the land for it mineral resources, dumped toxic waste in the seas and oceans, and some of the fauna and flora are near or are in complete extinction. They have not cared enough to consider that Mother Earth is dying and in dire need of advocates. Like a maiden in distress, the land is in search of true heroes.

On June 28th some very important people who care very much about the environment will converge at The African Environmental Action Summit at Federal Palace V.I, Lagos and “I Rave” Nigeria at Ember Creek to express their love for a greener, cleaner environment and chart a clear course to exploiting Africa’s natural resources for sustainable development.

Convened by The Green Afrique Network, the African Environmental Action Summit (AEAS) will feature a Green Lecture, a high -level lunch, and an Elite Gala dinner.  Some of the speakers at the lecture include Nigeria’s foremost Green Activists- Dr Newton Jibunoh and Desmond Majekodumi, alongside Ibrahim Dikko- Director Regulatory and Government-Etisalat as well as the CEO-Etisalat Hakeem Belo-Osagie, Minister of Foreign Affairs- Ambassador Gbenga Ashiru, Pastor of House on the Rock- Pastor Paul Adefarasin, DG Nigerian Conservation Foundation- Dr Adeleke. Other talking heads expected are Publisher of The Guardian Mrs Maiden Ibru, The 1st Lady Ogun State, 1st Lady Sierra Leone and The Vice President of Liberia.

With the clear understanding that the future belongs to the youth, the organizers have also made room for the participation of young people via the iRave Nigeria- TAN Ultra Violet RAVE!  Featuring Nigeria’s ‘hottest Dj’s’ including- DJ Neptune, DJ Humility, DJ Spinall:(Mavin Records and Industry Nite) and Chocolate City’s own DJ Caise. The Event will be star studded! The expectation is that all participants will begin to carry a torch for the environment and protect it dearly. Caring for the environment is critical! The time for AFRICAN Environmental ACTION is Now!

Via social media, the words: on creative ways to manage trash; earn additional ‘green’ income from tree planting and agriculture; and green efficiency even in the home, will ring out loud and proud!

Our message: like ‘Vector the Viper’ popular, young and conscious Nigerian rapper says, is: “Green Nigeria, Green Africa, Green World”

The African Environmental Action Summit and ‘I Rave Nigeria’ present to us a good reason to RAVE for Green!!! Are you READY?

taskforceOBT is an acronym for “Obtaining By Trickery”. For those not very familiar with the vocabulary of our police officers, when you are arrested and charged for OBT, it means that you are being accused of having used deception to receive money or property from someone or an organisation to achieve aims that are in variance with what you claimed while making the request or what the giver understood before letting go of the money or property. In simple terms, OBT is trickery and it has such synonyms as wayo, chancing, jobbing, 419 etc in our street lingo.

In a city like Lagos, you naturally expect that there is a lot of OBT going on. Indeed living in Lagos seems to be a study in OBTing as millions of the residents go about hustling daily for a living. From the bus conductor who charges higher than the regular rate and who intentionally doesn’t give you back your change before you alight, the estate agent who takes money from multiple prospective tenants for a property he is not even in charge of, to even the pastor who digs into your bank account, promising a utopia that never comes, OBT is a common daily occurrence and one the Nigerian police (themselves, great culprits of OBT) have a field day dealing with.

It becomes different when the government, the state government in this case, is culpable for OBT by creating an atmosphere that makes OBT by her agents an alternate revenue stream, under the guise of collecting supposedly legal charges, fees and taxes. That is exactly what has been happening in Lagos State.

It is not news that since the return to democracy, Lagos State has continued to grow its IGR through a renewed focus on taxation. These funds, the government says, is necessary for the much desired infrastructural development necessary for making Lagos stand shoulder to shoulder with other top cities of the world as a mega city.

The jury is still out as to how far or how well this funds are being utilised for the purpose the government claims, but one thing is certain, Lagosians and their businesses are groaning seriously under the weight of multi-taxation, tolls and ever increasing taxes. The latest is the Lagos merriment tax which hopefully shall be a topic for another day.

My concern today however is how agents of the government have successfully made a trade of defrauding individuals and businesses, abusing the free hand they enjoy under the ‘taxation regime” and employing intimidation and force to legitimise their actions. This is becoming pretty sickening.

The main preoccupation of Lagos State House lawmakers seems to be the creation of agencies and departments. There are today, a myriad handling all sorts of stuff; many simply a duplication of duties already being handled by an existing one. And all of them, including the multiple Local Development Councils, are tax collectors. Well, there is the LIRS that claims the statutory taxes, but all the others, starting from the most popular guys, LASTMA and the many other ‘LA’ acronymic bodies are basically tax collectors.

To achieve their objectives, these agencies set up task forces or what some others refer to as “enforcement teams”, a body usually made up of staff of the agency, local touts and armed mobile police men. Wearing coloured aprons, these teams comb Lagos helping government claim what they say belongs to government. And because of the limitless powers they have accorded themselves, these gangs of obtainers go about constituting a nuisance with very little regards to the law. Indeed they are the law. They have become so ubiquitous that one does not now know when they are out on sanctioned assignments or when they are just carrying out OBT for their private pockets.

It is not unusual for a task force team (without any authorisation from their mother agency) to storm a particular premises and begin to raise all sorts of issues – supposed laws that have been broken, for which payments have to be made or else, they will lock up and seal the place. These payments are often a negotiated settlement and usually not receipted.

I encountered one such team recently who stormed a business premises in Victoria Island. The team was a KAI team led by one Mr Femi Ajayi who claimed to be Acting Area Commander (though he wouldn’t show an ID card), alongside about a dozen police men. The offence as alleged was that the owners of the premises had failed to cut the grass in front of their premises and the penalty charge for the offence was five hundred thousand naira (N500,000.00).

Firstly, it was quite shocking that a Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) official should be busying himself on a matter that concerns the environment which one will think should be the headache of Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) or even the Lagos Waste Management Agency (LAWMA). Secondly, the amount of money claimed as penalty was outrageous. And he kept insisting that failing to pay, he would seal the premises and they would have to pay five million naira instead to unseal it.

Quite a scene was created with the staff of the business going from questioning the authority of the team to finally negotiating. The wisdom in their compromise (which is what makes this style of OBT so easy for the perpetrators) is that should the premises be sealed, the business losses good money due to the disruption and the team would get back to Alausa (or wherever their office is quartered) and write a dubious claim, totally different from what had transpired leaving the business running around in a cycle. And because it is such a lawless society, the business (even when it has a good case of unlawful intrusion) will never get redress or compensation.

After so much grandstanding, Mr Ajayi and his team pocketed fifty thousand naira and left with the cops in the weather-beaten danfo they came in. Off to the next maga. You might wish to imagine how much they would have made by the time they are done combing various parts of Victoria Island raising spurious claims and intimidating tax paying citizens (and businesses). Worse, even though the criminality is perpetuated under the canopy of government, not a dime gets to her coffers at the end.

That is what happens when you create an atmosphere that allows for a free for all, where touts are the law, where all kinds of task forces have sweeping powers to seal premises without any court order. Many Lagos residents have their tales of same or similar occurrences. We make all sorts of illegal payments to supposed agents of government because the alternative is a long route that might never lead to justice. Only a few, the likes of Mr Jonathan Odutola, who took LASTMA to court has been able to go down that path and get justice. It’s now an increasingly difficult and unpopular task, encouraging citizens to stand for their right. The lawlessness and impunity is simply overwhelming.

This message must be heard loud and clear in Alausa that the streets of mega cities around the world are not populated by thugs and miscreants working as part of their law enforcement agents, misbehaving in official capacity. That modern cities are not built by scorching businesses to death with all sorts of levies and taxes. That a government that indiscriminately creates task forces must equally be responsible for their actions and in actions. This government sanctioned OBT has gone on for long enough and we cannot survive their being unchecked. For one day soon, people may be forced to take laws into their hands in self-defence.

Nigeria-governors-forumMkpurokwu Igbo, the online Igbo dictionary, defines ‘nzuzu’ as foolishness; stupidity; idiocy; folly. And it is to this word that I instinctively turn to in my quest to find an apt description for the level of adult delinquency that seems to have taken over the land.

Nzuzu, more than any English translation of it can muster, describes what we know in local lingo as ‘mumu’; an absolute failure of reasoning; a refusal of persons who should know better to act in a way befitting of their status; a complete disconnect from the realms of sensibility.

This state of existence seems to have plagued our country in recent time.

How else do you describe the show of shame that is the recent (and ongoing) Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) election debacle? To be frank, I have held myself from commenting on the development because it will amount to helping to legitimise illegality.

The NGF is at best, a men’s club peopled by individuals who are fed fat off our collective patrimony. It is not a democratic institution, a tier of government, political party or a civil society group. Its activities to the extent of its unconstitutionality should (like say Ikoyi Club or Peoples Club) be the business of its members and should not disturb the peace of others.

I have long held that the group was a distraction to the polity and a derailing of the democratic process laid out clearly in our laws. However, their recent election developed somewhat into a national fever, and the failure of 35 grown men, all educated to at least senior secondary level as provided for by the laws; all leaders and sworn defenders of the constitution; all supposed advocates of free and fair election, has made it incumbent that one comments on them. And I shall not waste too many words in doing so.

Members of the Nigeria Governors Forum are simply ndi nzuzu.

And while these governors relocate to Abuja, holding nocturnal meetings in various venues, buttressing what faction they belong to, and wasting tax payers’ money deliberating on matters that are outside of what their mandates prescribe, their states groan under the weight of neglected problems and unfulfilled promises. Among these governors are the eleven whose state teachers are currently on strike over an issue that is so embarrassing that it should be talked about in hushed tones.

It is bad enough that this country has over the years abused its teachers; and in the process, mortgaged our destiny as a people; but the governors of Cross River, Ebonyi, Ekiti, Ogun, Edo, Kogi, Niger, Borno, Benue, Zamfara and Sokoto think dragging the system a little lower will be cool. Almost three years after the modest 27.5 per cent enhanced teachers salary scale was negotiated and agreed on (with the governors), these states have not paid a dime while some others have re-negotiated it or implementing sparingly.

It is instructive to note that Edo State, led by an erstwhile labour leader and controlled by the opposition, is one of the states. And while they pick their tooth with our misery, the teachers in those states sit back at home and the pupils, the future leaders, help themselves to whatever malfeasance the streets can teach them.

Nzuzu in the church

If you thought nzuzu was limited to politicians, then you must think again. Nothing better describes the happenings in the Ahiara Catholic Dioceses but fully fledged nzuzu gradually tending towards madness. In case you are yet to hear, some people of Ahiara, better known as Mbaise, in Imo State, have rejected the new Bishop appointed by the Vatican to lead the diocese following the death of the erstwhile Bishop, Victor Adibe Chikwe, for no other reason but for the fact that the new Bishop is from Anambra State, and that they want one of their sons to be ordained.

Any right thinking person will feel both anger and embarrassment that any group of people, under any guise and for any interest, will utter some of the words I have read in newspaper articles and paid advertisements. This descent into nepotism and promotion of clannish exclusiveness, even in matters that are spiritual and guided by laid down rules, reminiscent of the agitation of local communities where federal universities are domiciled for their sons to be made vice chancellor, is disappointing and worrying.

The fact that clergy and some lay faithful, many of them very educated people, will descend so low tells you how much in trouble we are as a people. One such character is Dr. Onyema G. Nkwocha who wrote from the USA advertising his nzuzu here, boasting of how the Mbaise people have collectively prevailed against injustice. I wonder what he teaches his children. Another one, a professor vomits his own bile here. I am not sure what exactly it is he professes.

Nzuzu by Buhari

I wouldn’t know what side of the bed former military ruler and serial presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, woke up from the day he granted Liberty FM Hausa Service his latest interview but it is apparent it was not the good side. I have read the report of the said interview a number of times and I am forced to plead the excuse of senility as the only justification for his utterances.

Nothing else explains it. That any Nigerian, especially a top figure of his status who had witnessed the carnage by Boko Haram who many have repeatedly called upon to take categorical steps to support efforts to end the insecurity, to so publicly condemn the emergency rule in parts of the north and attempt to juxtapose it against the Niger Delta militancy; and betraying in the process, such narrow tribal tendencies, is not just disappointing but also unbecoming. It must be said.

And some football nzuzu

And while we are still at it, I hear the Super Eagles who have an all important world cup qualifier against Kenya in Nairobi will not be arriving Nairobi until few hours before kickoff; and this if after long flights from Texas to Germany and then to Addis Ababa.

Anyone who has the remotest knowledge of professional football knows you cannot do a good job of it when you are fatigued. The eggheads in the Football House don’t think so; or perhaps while they made the travel plans someone did not get his time difference calculations right. Whichever it is, some high level nzuzu at that level has gifted Coach Stephen Keshi a readymade excuse for any bad result.

I end this tirade with a sigh. May God save us from us.

PS: The Kenya vs Nigeria match has been played and Nigeria thankfully won by a lone goal.

illegalThe bumper sticker “Don’t Steal, Government Hates Competition” comes to mind when one reads news like this recent one announcing the feat of our military through the Joint Task Force’s Operation Pulo Shield in destroying 748 illegal refineries in the Niger Delta in four months.

The outfits’ media coordinator Lt. Col Onyema Nwachukwu must have felt very proud revealing this to news men, very fitting report card to justify the huge sums the country is expending to keep the operation on, you will agree. But really, are we not simply short changing ourselves with this sustained posturing and grandstanding of describing the local refineries in the Niger Delta as illegal and criminalizing their operations? I think we are and it is time we stepped back and thought through it again.

Before any one accuses me of treason or at the least, of supporting any illegal activity against my country let me state here that I agree fully with the argument of the Government against the existence of this refineries. I agree with them to the extent that they are facts but I differ on the approach to handling this fact. I mean, it’s a fairly logical argument. The country continues to lose millions of dollars due to theft of crude oil used by operators of these ‘illegal’ plants which in addition operate below acceptable environmental standards aggravating the already bad state of pollution of the region. The products of the refineries are also adjudged to be substandard and harmful to both the health of citizens and automobiles. Above all, as a reputed oil producer and OPEC member, Nigeria ought to be in the league of decency and global acceptability in refining its oil.

The above sound like good justification for the ‘describe them as illegal and send the military after them’ approach which the government has adopted in fighting the menace. Reports of successes like the one mentioned above might sound like progress in this direction but in truth, we are simply running round a widening gyre. The refineries are not going away, they simply relocate. The business as presently ran is so lucrative that those involved are ready to play dirty. And while we chase them around, we encourage the large scale pollution of the environment and lose out on a golden opportunity at what I will describe as a home grown technological alternative to crude oil refining.

It is an irony that a country, whose four refineries are not fully operational, would be destroying ‘illegal refineries’. Since the discovery of oil in 1958, we have really never gotten a hang of how to go about refining the crude locally. Today, many decades and four gigantic refineries later, we depend largely on imported refined crude to meet domestic consumption, a situation that gave room for what is perhaps the largest sleaze in our history – The fuel subsidy scam.

Over the years, successive governments after superintending the mismanagement of the four refineries continued to mouth their desires to build functional refineries in the country. At some point, licenses were even issued to private businesses. All to no avail. In recent time, the government has given assurances of the construction of Greenfield refineries and in another instance even signed an MoU with an American firm for the construction of six modular refineries under a joint venture with a cost of up to $4.5bn all of which we are still waiting to see materialize. This is outside of the billions of dollars already spent trying to turnaround (or raise from the dead if you like) the existing refineries.

We cut the picture of a people simply running from pillar to post not sure of how to solve our problems. This is even more nauseating when we consider the fact that we actually have a local answer which we have refused to take seriously. Like in all things, we do not give any credibility to what is our own unless such a thing or person has obtained acclaim from abroad. An exhibition of neo-colonialism of the gravest form.

The ‘illegal’ refineries are a testimony to the ingenuity of the Nigerian and his ability to creatively innovate, despite the challenges of his existence, to solve his daily challenges, a resource which our system neither encourages nor supports. In more serious countries where human resources are priced and innovation is celebrated, such ingenuity as has been exhibited by operators of the so called illegal refineries would rather than being criminalized, constitute the foundation of technological breakthrough.

The crux of this discussion is the need for the government to make a U-turn in its approach and seek ways to make the most out of them to the benefit of the economy, the environment and the citizens involved within the ambits of the law. The Government should be curious to know how they are successfully refining even in makeshift plants and see how to improve on it to make it both healthier and more efficient. Currently, the operations are unregulated and thus anything goes, allowing a scenario where all characters are welcomed to play. Government should get them together and organize them may be into co-operatives or structured production clusters and regulate their activities, their sources of crude, the refining process, the pollution of the environment and who they are selling to.

This Government has stated repeatedly that it intends to fight unemployment by encouraging the independent initiatives of young people across the country. This is one area through which it could meet the targets in this regard. The ‘illegal’ refineries currently provide employment to a large number of people and have the potential of employing many more should their activities be standardized and regulated. This is particularly important in the Niger Delta where years of neglect has raised a generation of unemployed youths who are quick to take to criminal activities for survival in the absence of alternatives. This way, we will be killing many birds with one stone.

The ‘illegal’ refineries and other such home grown innovative ideas and indigenous technologies including those which appear like criminal manifestations must be harnessed for Nigeria to advance technologically and transform her economy in line with the vision of being one of the top twenty economies of the world by 2020. If we however continue in the self indulgence of using the state fire power against them and describing them as illegal, we will continue on this sightless thrashing like a beheaded chicken, until our final expiration.

Abdulrazak-Momoh-TS-300x332If reports from several sources, news media and on-the-ground observers inclusive are anything to go by (and I have no reasons to doubt them honestly), the recent local government election in Edo state as is largely the case elsewhere, was to say the least, a joke.

Nothing better told the story for me than the picture of one Honourable Abdulrazak Momoh (AKA Starblack), a member of the Edo State House of Assembly representing Etsako West 1 Constituency of the state who according to reports was apprehended during the election by security agents for being in possession of a pump-action rifle during the Local Government elections.

I don’t know about you but that sight didn’t exactly look like an atmosphere of “One Man One Vote” which the former labour leader turned politician, Adams Oshiomole chants, eye balls and veins bulging out, at every election campaign rally. It seemed more like a “One man one pump action” affair. The way honourable Starblack was holding the pump action in the picture, you wouldn’t be wrong to think he was a hunter. Only this time, he was hunting for something different, something more valuable; Votes.

A friend commenting on the news story said something that was not only true but which I think captures the irony of our political space: “Look very well ,” he said, “ that man must have been in PDP in the past”. My friend said it all.

Edo state is an Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) controlled state, an opposition state who supposedly should be (if you take their rhetoric seriously) showing us how things should be done, cleaning the filth that is the PDP, conducting elections that we can hold against those of PDP states and declare proudly, ‘the difference is clear.’ But what do we have instead? Same old six pence.

You see, if you are one of those excited about all the new kangaroo gatherings in the name of mega progressive alliances, I suggest you take one step back and look again at who the apostles of this brand new gospel are. The opposition today just in case you are yet to observe it yourself is nothing but a platform for extending the longevity of yesterday’s office holders and a cheap avenue for others to re-launch floundering political relevance. And as long as they remain such, our problems in this country can be said to be simply undergoing progressive hybridization.

A few months ago when the APC was first mooted, the party (in making) chose no less a personality than Senator George Akume to announce it in the Senate. He spoke so passionately, his statement garnished with such adjectives as change and Development and progress. Harmless, inspiring speech you might have concluded. But when you remember that this same George Akume was a PDP Governor in Benue State for two whole terms, you begin to wonder at what point this epiphany occurred, at what point he came to the realisation that Nigerians deserve change? While he was Governor or after a rearrangement of Political musical chairs in Benue forced him out of the PDP into the ACN as erstwhile protégé and now Governor Gabriel Suswan took over the reins?

I almost puked inside a bus on my way to Yenagoa for the recent Africa Movie Academy Awards when I heard over the radio during a news broadcast of a chieftain of the soon to be registered APC making wonderful promises to Nigerians that their problems will soon be a thing of the past. It would have been cheering news, the sort that could have ignited a spark of hope in an agonized heart meandering dangerously through  the narrow potholes infested East west Road, had the said chieftain making such progressive statement not been Chief Achike Udenwa another two time PDP Governor.

You see, if those men are our hope for any change, then we are as D’banj will say, on a long thing. Some will say, well, we need to start somewhere, that any means of wrestling power away from the PDP is okay and that with time the bad eggs will be weeded out. If you believe that, you will fall for anything. The bad eggs will neither be uprooted nor discarded. Their ranks can only swell. Wait until the primaries for 2015 begin and the shifting cultivation will commence… from the right to the left and vice versa. As they shift, so will their grammar shift.

Until we get that fresh-breath-of -air progressive movement, one not peopled by yesterdays men, one that is not an arrangement just to win the very next election at all cost, one that is made up of professionals, successful people not people who have politician as their profession, one that is not a recycling plant, I am afraid it wouldn’t matter which party is in power, problem would simply have changed name.

That day will come. But it will come only by our efforts to do the right things not this smart phone I need to sound smarter than others grandstanding under disguised partisanship which seems to be holding sway.

Happy Workers Day.

easterEaster has always been different. Growing up, we always looked forward to festivities. Accidentally, they often coincided with our holidays. As children, we were enamoured by the celebratory mood that hung in the air, the new clothes and shoes our parents purchased for us, the exchange of cards, the twinkling lights, the knock-out and of course, the special rice and larger chunks of meat we would eat around that period.

Even as a child, I had noticed that unlike Christmas, there was something different about Easters. My Parish then was of a kind where during lent there was absolutely no music at Mass, hardly even the clapping of hands. I remember observing the solemness of the hymns, the dull colours of the sanctuary, the many festivities viz Stations of the Cross, palm Sunday and Holy week, the general sad demeanour of everyone like something very bad has happened and the dramatic change witnessed at Easter Sunday when everything suddenly comes back alive.

As I grew older and began to better appreciate the teachings of the church and the reasons for the solemness at this season, Easter began to evoke a very special feeling. Perhaps less of a feeling of ‘difference’ as I had imagined as a child, but a lot more special, a deeper and much more spiritually enriching festival and season. I am sure most of us share this similar experience.

Easter is the very essence of our existence, the very source of our Christian faith. In exhibition of His infinite love for humanity, God sent us His son to cleanse us and reconcile us to Himself and He did this in no less a symbolic way than to have been betrayed, tortured, crucified and nailed to a cross, like a common criminal. On that cross, He declared that “It is finished”, signifying that we all have been discharged and acquitted and by rising on the third day, our hope for a new life in Him is sealed.

Sadly though, we all, children of this modern age seem to have lost the deep spiritual significance of this special season. Christians today seem to have become too complacent, too distant from the faith that this wonderful story of resurrection now seems like a myth, like some meaningless fairy tale retold yearly simply for entertainment. Religion has in like manner become commercialised and politicized that we have lost the very essence of why Christ came and died on the cross which is Love.

The beauty of Easter is not only that it reveals to us God’s majesty and power exemplified in the resurrection of His Son, but also that it reminds us each time we bow our heads before the crucifix that in the brokenness of Jesus on the cross, the love of God is revealed so profoundly for each of us and we are called to spread that love to all of humanity.

Our holy father Pope Francis is leading the way in this call for renewal. With his adoption of the name Francis and in all of his public utterances, he has been reminding us of the essence of love and the need to embrace the poor among us which is the kind of evangelism the world needs today.

Every time we bring hope into a situation, every time we bring joy that shatters despair, every time we forgive others and give them back dignity and the possibility of a future, every time we listen to others and affirm them and their life, every time we speak the truth in public and boldly confront injustice, every time we think not of ourselves but of the needs of others, we bring people back from the dead as Jesus was at Easter.

This year’s Easter which coincides with this very remarkable time in the history of the Church, presents us another opportunity to realign ourselves to the cross, to the fundamental teachings of the church and appreciate once again, the beauty as of when we were children, of Easter and the season we have just entered. Happy Easter Good people!
