Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Baba Aye's : Nigeria: a new beginning towards the same ends?

Ever since the ever corrupt and disgraced former evil general of fortune Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida introduced religion into the Nigerian body polity, Nigeria has never been the same again. Apart from introducing religion into the body polity of Nigeria, he raised the bar of corruption and drug trafficking to the highest level in the annals of Nigeria history. He has a protégé in the current CBN governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. Any reasonable Nigerian would have known by now there is no need to make a bad situation worst. As a result of mass killing of Southerners and Christians in some northern states by Major General Buhari's CPC supporters, the worst insult Sanusi can add to the injury of the victims is introduce sharia or Islamic banking in a secular bartered state called Nigeria. Northern Nigeria Muslims have been taking the rest of us for granted. In 1986, it was Babangida and OIC. In 1999, it was Yarima Bakura and sharia. In 2003, it was Ibrahim Shekarau and hisbah sharia police and in 2011 it is Lamido Sanusi sharia banking. Sanusi will go down in history as the worst governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. Here is somebody who came to office and met healthy strong banks like Union Bank of Nigeria and many others. But suddenly overnight he said they were distressed. But the weakest bank which is Unity Bank which struggled to meet up the re-capitalization in 2005 was curiously spared by Sanusi. Now just like the evil general Badamosi Babangida did in 1986 while dragging Nigeria into the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC), Lamido Sanusi is now hell bound on bringing Islamic banking to Nigeria. This is the same Sanusi who killed micro finances institutions and is on the verge of liquidating strong and healthy banks like Union Bank and Oceanic Bank because most of the shareholders are Southerners. With tension and the great divide generated by the post election violence in his part of Northern Nigeria, Lamido Sanusi will do Nigerians well to keep Islamisation of Nigeria agenda through Islamic bank on hold or better still the Federal government most stop him. Methinks that there are many other important issues to bring development to the impoverish almajiris in Northern Nigeria Mr Lamido Sanusi. For now it is the case of like Babangida like Lamido Sanusi another Islamic zealot on the loose. --- On Sun, 5/15/11, Ifedioramma E. Nwana <ienwana@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Ifedioramma E.

The others discuss and campaign and see the possibilities and then state what has been agreed.  You ask for this and fail, you ask for the other and fail publically.  Then people no longer fear you, because when you fail you merely grumble.  Learn to discuss and agree before asking.  Why must it be easy to anticipate you?

Baba Aye, you are a true sun of your father. A friend told me that during campaign Gudluk Jonathan quickly remembered that his names are Ebere and Azikiwe to enable him to win our souls of SE during election and dump us (SE) i thought it was a joke and he has succeeded in doing that (the prophecy of that statement is now manifesting ) to start with since he (Jonathan) won election have u see or heard that Ebere or Azikiwe from his mouth again and now he want to round it up by kicking SE outoff first 4 men in the country TRUE OR FALSE? "Umuigbo osisi anaghi asu nwoke n'anya ugboro abuo" ekelem unu!!! SHINE UR EYES!!! O! O!!oooooooooooo  I believe that the IGBO nation did their best to ensure that the South South took the office of the president by standing firm through out. I hope that they deserve to be given a key position in this dispensation as a thank you. We as PDP must hold firm the loyalty of the IGBO nation. I am equally aware that the IGBO nation have issues when its time for them to support their fellow IBO brethen in power. We do not want to see what happened when IGBO nation occupied the senate seat repeat itself again. President Jonathan needs peace in order to govern Nigeria. This is why the choice of the current Senator, David Mark is good because it represent peace and stability. OH YES!!!!!! Don`t blame Azikiwes incarnating to Ebere for value. Even the real Azikiwe did not do differently in his life time. He sold his brothers like Ojukwu for personal global recognition which stopped at his demise. if it is the destiny of the igbos to face betrayal in the hands of its own, Jesus Christ had same. Still Jesus remained unstoppable. Igbos, you can not be stopped because the SUN must rise daily b/4 light can be. the though forsaken remain the land of the rising sun.
