New Year Letter To The President Of Federal Republic Of Nigeria by yal7: 10:09pm On Jan 01, 2015 |
LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA Indeed it is a popular saying that uneasy lies the head that wears the crown, this means that the task of leadership is not an easy one at all neither has it ever been easy, and permit me to say that no one holding a position or handling responsibilities will ever tell you it is easy, on this very note i say kudos to president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, for being able to manage the affairs of Nigerian’s who i tagged the present day Israelites affairs for the period of 6years. Mr president sir, without any doubt your administration has brought numerous good things to this very nation, ranging from your effort in the health sector, to the election process, the judiciary system, sports just to mention of few, indeed one must give kudos to you considering your youthfulness as the case may be now, but sir permit me to say that perfectness is never in man but in God but hence, we human can still attain some levels or degree of perfectness as we hope to be like Christ which we both profess to be our lord. On this very basis i must say that the through test of a leader has never be in times of merry and joy but in times of challenges and adversaries, which has propel me to write this letter to you and make it public to the good and bad people of our fathers land about your great deed and also take a critical look at some in humanistic action done either by yourself or some irrational and non-human members of your cabinet under the hospices of your administration. At this very junction sir, you might not which to proceed to read my letter, but it is important to bring to your consciousness that a true leader is one that listen’s to the followers and as such some of my critical objections here will be of benefit to you and the nation as a whole. My powerful president sir, it is with all due respect that i say that, although your administration has been filled with numerous success stories and the only response given to your critics should be “do you think it is easy why not try be the president of Nigeria” but sir, no one ever said the office you are going was an easy one while contesting, perhaps we have someone who told you it was easy, then such person should be labelled your greatest enemy, so whatever excuses you tend to give for your flaws in some important aspect of the nation remains untenable on the basis of no excuse for failure, as well as the same excuses you will give as reason for your failure is someone else reason for success. Firstly, it is visible to the blind that the south- west of Nigeria as benefited little or nothing from your administration, since you assume office and the south-western people also have the least number of appointee’s in your administration, perhaps, it’s possible you try to lay hold on the dualization of the Ilesha to Akure road, but if i will not be deceiving you, as at the time am writing to you, the dualization of that road is merely a dream, all the contractors did was to repair the road and not that it is been dualised, so it’s either you put to check the contractors and the ministry in charge of this task or it suffixes to say that you are involved in all this and that you only use the pronouncement of dualization as a campaign strategy, so to avoid further staining of your name i advice you make clarifications to the good people of Nigeria. Secondly, as at the day this letter was been written, research and findings have shown that some members in the federal ministry of works, national identity card have not been paid their salary for the past two months, that’s November and December salary, not only that, some members also in federal ministry of education, federal inspectorate services majorly, have not received salary for 3months that’s between October to December, to me this is lack of human feelings, three months is equivalent in my term to a term in the basic school and almost a semester in tertiary institution, how then do you expect this workers to feed themselves and family, how do you expect them to foot their bills, sir if indeed you have walked with your legs before, then i believe you should have better understanding about what it means to live in lack even if some of your ministers, and permanent secretary has decide to behave as if they are not human, by not showing concerns and feelings for their worker’s, it so poor that none of them could release at least a message of sorry and apology for such act and explain things to the workers via the media, this show that they are nothing but sets of corrupt people and “animals” without any apology, because i believe human’s should have feelings. Not with standing sir, i will like to seek your opinion if it is right for such workers to continue to be patriotic to the nation and go to work? Because on which account will they write the money of their transportation, knowing full well they have not been paid for months, does morality demand they suffer for people who care less about them? Sir i hereby implore that you stop the salary and allowance of any minister, director or permanent secretary who’s workers have not been paid and let them feel some pain as well, one must quickly say that you also should stop your allowances until your workers are been paid, so as to lead by example and show Nigerians that you have not turn them to labourers who will be the means of feeding yourself and the set of termite senators who claim to serve hungry people when they are swimming in plenty but lack dignity and integrity. More so, i was so happy to know that we now have sets of corrupt union leader who has no integrity again, starting from the grass root which is the student union to the very apex of unionism, permit me to bring your notification to the aspect of national association of Nigerian students (NANS), how will the president of NANS be a university graduate, we can’t but ask if someone who is out of the institution could be able to represent Nigeria student and know what their facing or just representing his pocket, yes, am quit aware of the claims that NANS does not means undergraduate alone, but it is important to call a spade a spade and not an agricultural tool, we all know that the most active and probably the only active student union are does in the undergraduate level, so it will be ridiculous if someone will stand to justify his selfish ambition on that basis. Also, i must commend the effort of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) but of recent i have started losing my trust in them, because how can you have ministries not one nor two under your hospices that some of their workers have not been paid for over two months without any reason and you have not put to lock all the offices and debar the ministers from even assessing their offices, neither has there been any concrete sign of concern from your national executive, i know you are on top of the situation but can you all ask yourself if government have been paying those people for over 2months and they are not going to work which is leading to decline in the economy status of the country, what will government have done to such people? We all know the answer, so you have no excuse and if you continue like this one day our people will lose faith in unionism when they have been pushed to the wall and they will bounce on you first and then the government and that is what Karl Marx calls the “dictatorship of the proletariat”. Furthermore, it’s wonderful to have a vibrant woman with great credentials as the coordinating minister for finance and economy in this nation in person of Mrs. Ngozi Iweala, who has helped us a lot to improve our economy in paper and in Abuja alone leaving majority of Nigeria to suffer from the paper work she presented to the international community, it is audible to the deaf, visible to the blind and laudable for the dumb that the Nigeria economy is crashing daily and Nigerians are seriously suffering, i will like to implore her professionalism that you don’t increase employment rate by creating government agencies, why not create a lot of manufacturing companies and industries, with that you will employ lots of workers and at the same time generate a lot of income from the product coming out of the companies and industries which will really boost the country’s economy, ma, am not saying this is the best option but it is preferable to all your best prescription’s and recommendation’s in Nigeria. Moreover, my president sir, i can’t but ask that when will African’s, most especially Nigerian’s stop this act of insanity and madness, the money donated for you election is enough to pay the salaries of the worker’s you are owing, then i tend to ask if money should be the credentials for proving your worth and credibility to people, if indeed you are credible i don’t think you need up to 1million for your campaign, because you have spend over 6years in office and your achievements should be your voice not money, i can’t but ask if it is the number’s of postal’s and hand bill that you want to produce for your election that will cost over a billion or the media publicity, if billions are spent for you to win the election and your people are suffering, then i think it’s rather irrational of you, sir you have been battling with the Boko Haram crises for years without any significant success, why can’t your rich donors raise money for more security in the nation than for your election, it necessarily follows you hardly have your people in mind. Also why on earth should we waste money again to produce new 100naira notes which is not even fascinating to the eye, i can’t but ask the relevant of a new currency note when the value of naira is dropping on daily basis at the international scene, perhaps you may mention that it’s because of the centenary celebration, but why are we celebrating 100years of crawling as a nation, why should a man celebrates his farm harvest when his children are dying, who will eat the harvest? At this junction, one must quickly say that Nigerians are suffering and you are languishing in the oceans of plenty neglecting the masses, if it is true that Nigeria’s classify you to be a youth, then it is imminent to say that you have failed the youths, no wonder people are now turning to a man who i believe should be resting as there hope, your uncaring attitude has made people to start returning back to the old and aged people, then we can’t but ask, what is the future of the Nigerian youth and when will the youths of today become the leaders of tomorrow, if Gen. Buhari who is above 70 could still be contesting for presidency and some people are now seeing future in the old. I think i have to pause and weep for my father’s land. Lastly, i will want you to have the spirit of patriotism, you might not be able to satisfy everybody, but let people know that you are really trying your best, always know that wealth and properties are left on earth. i can’t really say if you are a good leader or a bad leader because, you have not prove yourself to be good leader and at the same time you are surrounded by bad associate, and no matter how good a leader is, if he is surrounded by bad adviser’s such leader is bad. permit me at this junction to say that this is not a perfect letter, but i write out of my love for Nigeria to give you some useful advice and perhaps, if any error is found while reading maybe in terms of grammar or construction, it’s only a sign that am writing in an alien language, so i say am sorry, i must say i have consciously written this letter to avoid fallacy of hasty generalization and i pray it has a positive effects on you, so that you will be call a leader and not a ruler as the whites do call African leader’s “RULERS” because they have deaf ear to instructions. Mr President i love you and i love federal republic of Nigeria. GOD BLESS GOODLUCK JONATHAN GOD BLESS FEDRAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS LIVING LEGEND |
