As Minister Is Nonsense

I wanted to keep quiet and rejoice like others
,but how can we all keep quiet in midst of this great injustice ?,sure,they
removed Stella Oduah and replace her with another Anambra person ,But this
appointment of Mr. Osita Chidoka (Ike Obosi) worries me,inshort it pains
me like the menace going on in the North.
I am happy for
him, and I join his family and admirers in congratulating him. However, I think
that his appointment takes something very big away from Anambra State.
This is suppose to be a
plus but his appointment is a great MINUS. The ministerial slot to which he is
appointed belongs to Anambra State. So, come rain or sunshine, that position
would be given to an Anambra State person. That is the law. That is the
constitution. The position that he had before at FRSC is a tenured office of 5
years each. He is in the 2nd year of his second tenure. Meaning that he has
minimum of 3 years more to be there because there is no term limits there. That
is a good position for Anambra State to have. Now that he is gone to occupy a
position reserved for Anambra State by law, he is replaced by Former
principal general staff officer to late head of state, Gen. Sani Abacha, Maj.
General Lawrence Onoja a non-Anambra State citizen,not even an IGBO person
or south Easterner.
Meaning
that Anambra lost a very high profile position. What is the guarantee that
President Jonathan will reappoint him Minister after the 2015 election? My Dad
would,ve shouted “ndia akwo aka tiere okuku aki”[They've washed their hands
clean only to break palm kernel for fowls to devour]
And what if by crook or
creed another Party wins the presidency, will they re-appoint him
minister? In either case of Jonathan’s reelection or another Party winning, an
Anambra State citizen including himself, would be appointed a minister for
Anambra State’s slot, but the FRSC position would be gone! This sharing of
national cake is serious and no one will give you anything because everyone is
busy protecting their own and at the same time eyeing your own to see if they
can take it from you and it is very ugly stupid of us to have handed back a
plus we had back to the central just because we are playing stupid kind of
political witch hunt
In the bid to stop
Mr. Peter Obi, some Anambra State over grown fools gave away this FRSC
position. I am not happy about it. If they did not want Peter Obi, is there no
other Anambra State person that could have taken the ministerial position? This
our politics of blindness and pull-him-down is costing us too much in this
country.
We spend so much time
and energy fighting the wrong fights while every other group is getting what we
could be getting. We are in this contraption called Nigeria, and until we are
no longer part of it, we ought to be thinking and acting differently, otherwise
we will be the losers.
If they finish sharing
everything, and there is nothing else to get from Nigeria, they may then decide
to break up the country. But by then we will be short because everybody else
has taken what they could get while we were busy fighting nonsense fights.
