NIGERIA: SOMETHING ABOUT OUR INTEGRITY

Alex Aidaghese

November 12 at 3:52 AM

."The Conscience of the nation must be roused" - Fredrick Douglas.

Breached a $12M Contract for the Dredging of the Calabar Port. Ordered arrested September 18, 2018, by a competent court. Allegedly screened, cleared, contested, and won a disputed gubernatorial primary in Imo State.

And that is the story of Senator Nzodinma, the same man, whose candidacy Comrade Adam Oshiomhole is defending with all the vocabularies available in the dictionary, anchored on the strength of his Chairmanship Muscles.

Now you know why buying the electoral process is very easy in Nigeria. It is your money. And it's all about the HIGHEST BIDDERS.

That you want to preempt the enthronement of an Okorocha Political Dynasty is not sustainable an alibi for the enthronement of a veritable scammer as the Lord of the Manor. Give me a break, Nigerians! Where is our conscience?

FG panel arrests Uzodinma over alleged failure to execute $12m contract

Ehinon Utubor You're so correct my broda Alex. Now, you can tell how he got the money to pay off Corrupt Oshiomhole for a governorship election ticket. Nigeria is a sick nation. Oshiomhole should not be allowed to walk free on Nigeria streets.

Odion Aloba Our Esan chief, these political criminal dinasures has all the evil stuffs in their cupboard but would succumbing to kleptomaniac okorochas pursuits of making his family an emperor's in Imo state political atmospere - had pleases ur political voice for the impoverished Imolites at large or in diaspora? I am not a fan of Adam osho-iroko of Nigeria but I seldom doffs my golden crown for his shrewed , keen and intellectual perspicacity in knowing when to chameleonically activate his political tentacle in doing what is of public good - to the majority. This is political calculation at Kenneth or apex. More grease to his elbow.

Philip Otoboh Amazing

Alex Aidaghese Odion Aloba, if I get you correctly; you cannot create rooms for a scammer to run for election because you want to preempt the making of a dynasty by another political family.

Benjamin Omole Uzodima is a gonna. He should be disqualified with his $12,000M theft. How come this information did not come up during clearance?

Benson Idin Huuuuum.

Sadly, it seems the majority of Nigerians, irrespective of their statuses, their tribal origins, academic credentials, are overwhelmingly drenched in the pools of corruption and ineptitude.

This guy, supposedly and apparently, is well learned, we…See More

Tony Ojo All other them , including their chairman himself who made billions of naira from party members during primary is a scammer.

Odion Aloba Mr Benson Idin, u have flagrantly in solomonic wisdom, said it all... these ppl hands are soiled with not only corruption but the evil they've concocted overtime that resulted in the detriment of gazillions of souls. Now that we have these unfathomabl…See More

Benson Idin Mr. O. Aloba, unfortunately in Nigeria, especially since its Independence from Great Britain, it's always been situational choices, to quote you, between "two lesser evil".

And that's at the core of problems. Imagine a country filled with people who thinks winning a contract is like winning the lottery, instead of business agreement that must be executed in a way that honors everyone's interest, including that of the contractor and the benefactors of the contract. Hence everything is the ways they are in Nigeria. Worst of all, it's not gonna get better. Because it's the ever prevailing mindsets of almost all Nigerians. The next generations of Nigerians are most likely going to imitate the current and past Nigerian leaders who were/are themselves shamefully corrupt and inept. Every Nigerian unfortunately wants to be the next big shot, the next richest Nigerian, by any means possible. Be it by chicanery, embezzlement, bribery and or corruption: Instead of aiming and aspiring to become the one that would be remembered as the one who by his or her saving grace and good deeds become the one that uplifted Nigeria and majority of Nigerians from abject poverty, irrelevance, and the abyss of oblivious failures. The unsettling ghosts of Hope Uzodinma's of Nigeria, of ignorance and of insatiable greed that exist in every fabrics of Nigeria must also be subdued and arrested to unravel these weighted disabling cultures of ineptitude and corruption in Nigeria. Not just the successful arrest and prosecutions of Mr. Hope Uzodinma of Imo State.

Odion Aloba Benson Idin; what a convoluted or serpentine perdition PATH to travel !

Alex Aidaghese Benson Idin. Totally agree

Alex Aidaghese On a lighter note, several times, I have pleaded with Odion Aloba to come to the Plain English that we use here, but he is not taking any of it. As for Uncle Benson Idin, he is operating at Soyinka's level. I pray they heed your pleading.

Ehinon Utubor Alex Aidaghese : This is the reason I blocked this guy(Odion) off my wall.

Alex Aidaghese He's a great guy; you just have to endure his grammatical Obahiagbonlism in other to kowtow to powhow.

Ehinon Utubor Alex Aidaghese Understood. I advised on several occasions to speak on subject matter rather than throwing lots of ambiguous innuendos into subject matter.

Alex Aidaghese Ehinon Utubor. My brother, I do fervently understand your pains. Unfortunately, you cannot domesticate Odion in your culture of expression or brand of English. Obahiagbon will forever be Obahiagbon. So is Odion Aloba.

Odion Aloba Hahahaha.....thx my ppl - especially; to my Atikulated custodian of traditions - humble and dignified Alexicon...

Odion Aloba Mr Alex, do u by any chance knows a very popular bird called in Ishan "ikian-loh" ? . Very visible in the farm - around hamattan complimentary season, and a timing that some hiccup famine/food scarcity is somewhat prevailing....

Alex Aidaghese Odion Aloba. Ikianloh na ants. No be birds, if I remember correctly.

Odion Aloba Alex Aidaghese; I am afraid GOP mentor, is not....I am not talking about okhian-loh but ikianloh. Actually, ikianloh is an edible bird...

Alex Aidaghese Odion Aloba. I remember now. It has unusual cry

Odion Aloba Alex Aidaghese , waoooooh! Is like u were reading my next step of reciprocation. Is a well known singing bird. I was actually trying to use the ishan proverb interpretation of the song to given u an idiomatic spiritual prophesies of some sort - as per ur atikulated perdition utopia path with Atiku and Allies......

Alex Aidaghese Odion Aloba. But a very rare specie. But what's the allusions about? Please, in a simple term, what was the purpose of making references to the Bird? Seriously, I do not understand the meaning of "... atikulated perdition utopia ..."

Odion Aloba Alex Aidaghese ; ikhanloh weh , ohrorh de , uhkhumhun de, ugbuduh ahbete noh Mhonh le ; orh le-muorh lee-ooooh...uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.....

Odion Aloba That is the ikhialoh singing we alway hears in the farm - growing up and can really be scary if u are by urself in the farm but very meaning song indeed...

Odion Aloba Ahbete - I can't really explain the bird as well but Ishan interpretation deciphered the bird as a simbling to ikhianloh...

Alex Aidaghese Odion Aloba. The bird, ikhanloh, says, Harvesting season is near and Famine season is near. Then, what about abete?

Odion Aloba Spiritually speaking in fervency; I see ur political potency been dynamically and tsunamically played-out in the progressive arena but I can fore-tell ur social and political adamancy in rocky principled anchored,remains sedentary or unwavery - as u are divinely head bent on following Atiku to a political cul-de-sac. I am praying hard for a change of heart - to seeing u on the other side of the divide, taking a due advantage on what is already made for u to not only exhibits/unleashes ur divine ORDAINED calling but Moses ur followers (political apostles ) of our calibers....to the promised land. It will not seat well with me - seeing a mentor that I so adored, purgatorily left out in political canal-land instead of the promised theocratic eldurado...

Odion Aloba A sibling of ikhianloh..

Odion Aloba Alex Aidaghese ; pls join the Good-wagon to the promised land with no transit but one way divine free ticket to that paradise that is non-negotiable with political pittance

Alex Aidaghese Odion Aloba.

I want to set the record straight:

I am PROGRESSIVE. Unrepentant AWOIST. That said, ideologically speaking, there's no difference between APC, APGA, PDP…See More

Alex Aidaghese It is not about me. It's about moving Nigeria forward. I am all set academically and professionally. If we have in place a government that is willing to play its part consistent with established global standards, those of us with the right attitude, focused on stating their own business at home will not hesitate to relocate.

Odion Aloba Alex Aidaghese ; My supreme chief in-charged, I full well concurred with ur savvy intellectual dinosaural credential- 100%. Now, my fear rooted in the spiritual realm - from what I have seen, in the absolute; i am afraid to prophess, Atiku is not the political messiah. Are there no social and political lynn-way or divine loopholes u could reach this man with an impeccable integrity of no rivalry, to open up decipherable dialogue, getting into the cabinet and offsets the clamoring change? I learnt from ur reliable history the last time I had glance ur sisypheanic effort to offers ur solomonic and cosmopolitan wisdom - under some political umbrella of no seriousness( I guess - pdp) but they had fizzles ur effort overall. How are will sure in 2019, such a room will be righteously available for u to actually get involved, while I put together my luggages to humbly follow u home without fear of coming back to this refugee camp for the intellect of our kind ?

Odion Aloba Alex Aidaghese; I feel ur pain for ur ppl...i am in same predicament as well. I guess , we all had to tread with some Abrahamic and Ahitopheric wisdoms of some sort.....in forging ahead - overall.

Odion Aloba Alex Aidaghese ; Temporarily here in New York, waiting for ur impromptu call for relocation. Thx gazillions as always.

Alex Aidaghese Any time, brother. I don't engage in prophecy. I do my best to give an objective interpretation of the facts at my disposal. There's too much blood in the land. Apparently, there is no one in Charge. It's not about me or my ambition. It's about Nigeri…See More

Odion Aloba Alex Aidaghese I guess I had to start preparing my political rob/garment for the 2023.....Amen. So u don't think - starting on the state level at all ?

Alex Aidaghese Odion Aloba. Exactly

Alex Aidaghese State level? I am not so sure. Either the Senate or the Presidency. With the right leadership, no group or individual would agitate for the dismantling of this country.

Alex Aidaghese When it's all over, the present leadership of the EFCC, ICPC, DSS, and the Office of the Attorney General must be investigated for feigning ignorance or wearing a picture of "my hands at are tied," when celebrated thieves are cleared or nominated to stand for election.

Ehibor JB Alex Aidaghese my brother the Nigeria state is in a deep hole is too unfortunate.

The corrupt to investigate the corrupt what can we get in such a situation? Your answer is as good as mine.

The question now is what can be done in a situation like this?

Alex Aidaghese Which Oga be dat

Alex Aidaghese Interpretation:

To those of you not conversant with Esan language or Ewohimi dialect, Odion Aloba wants to know (spelling some of the words with American Accent) if Atiku will not cover-up the atrocities of the past leadership (sweep them under the mat), if he wins. I don't know what he would do. Personally, I don't think he would have my support if he is not able to reform the EFCC and the DSS.

Odion Aloba Gbagada my chief!

Patrick Ibomhen When has mere allegations translate into judgement. This man has been in the Senate for a third term and has been all over the place without this allegation, then Okorocha's wush es to install his son-in- law as the governor of IMO state and was prevented, the governorship aspirant must be stopped at all cost. That is the brand of politics in Nigeria. Even the head of presidential panel of recovery got admission into University of Jos with fake school certificate, nobody has initiated his prosecution. Weep my "beloved" country.

Alex Aidaghese Patrick Ibomhen. My learned Sr, the weight of the evidence is overwhelming. This man went away with economic murder. He shouldn't run for political office.

I would respectfully disagree with you on the question of the pot calling kettle black. The way embezzlement of public fund is going presently, EFCC alone cannot stop. The exposure must start within. Now, Nigerians are seeing for the first time a picture view of the sprawling estate built by the Okorocha and the Heaven on Earth edifice belonging to Senator Nzodinma.

Odion Aloba I knew all along, okorochas was a good for nothing father figure. Always his way or no way for no other souls. What a greedy bastard animal of Biafran descendant ...

Asuenimhen Emmanuel Ofeimun This is the change Nigerians voted for. It has never been this bad. We have lost count of the corrupt officials in this govt. Forgery is now the norm, killings of women and children is no longer an issue, kidnappings has become the order of the day to the extent that even the clergy are caught in the web.

Or do we evaluate the elections INEC conducted in recent past? Even the Master Rigger, Maurice Iwu would not accept the outcomes.The truth is Nigerians are not ready for good leaders and transparent governance.All we want is our interests both direct and indirect. Period.

Alex Aidaghese Asuenimhen Emmanuel Ofeimun, where have you been? I was just wondering if you were uncomfortable with my criticisms. Thanks for your insight.

Asuenimhen Emmanuel Ofeimun Bros, you are an Uncle to me. Honestly I will only take your views about me as corrections and otherwise. Thank you sir.

Asuenimhen Emmanuel Ofeimun and not otherwise please

Alex Aidaghese Great. Please, keep in touch.

Alfonsus Nanna Buhari, Tinubu, Oshiomhole and the entire gang of insincere rulers lack the will and the moral authority to establish the moral architecture that should drive this nation into the next critical phase of its growth. They are very much a part of the problem of this nation that needs to be changed. They cannot at the same time be the solution.

Alex Aidaghese Alfonsus Nanna, I totally agree with you. President Buhari is doing his best. He would make a fine Mayor of an agrarian community. He is not for the moment. Besides, the World has moved beyond the level where his kind of integrity is celebrated.

Chief Asiwaju Tinubu is ideologically deficient. He has a strong footing in Yoruba politics, but better off as a King or a Ceremonial Head of State. Not for the moment. Nothing within his intellectual reach to drive the economic change. He is a consummate politician, without the faintest idea on how to better the living standards of the poor.

Comrade Adam is a dictator, an intellectual snob - innately judgemental. Granted, he has no College/University degree, intellectually, he is head and shoulders above his political colleagues. He is a voracious reader, and he has a better grasp of the English language and political jargons than most of the guys on the scene presently. He knows that, and he is capitalizing on it.

He is not afraid to fight. He would be better off a Military Commander, leading a battalion to the Zambiza forest for a total annihilation.

As a Governor of Edo State, he didn't know what to do to breathe life into Edo Brewery, Bendel Insurance, Ewu Flour Mill, Ukpila Cement Factory, the Edo Livestock, etc, etc. It was all about borrowing and spending. No IGR drive outside Motor Parks and Market Stalls.

So, I agree with you; these are not the people to move Nigeria to the next critical phase of our socio-economic development.

Alex Oriakhi Sr. Everyone is stealing left and right? I don’t get it!

Alex Aidaghese Alex Oriakhi Sr., the insanity is in the reckless disregard for apprehension and persecution.

Alex Oriakhi Sr. I thought Buhari was fighting corruption? Shame shame shame!
