The Confidence-Artistry Of Governor Fashola In LagosTo govern is to populate▬South American statesman
He is different, unique, from other governators in Nigeria. Head full of ideas. Because he started his governorship with beautiful visions, or spoken concepts, it appeared that at last a non-typical governor has come. He was embarking on certain projects without first presenting them as favours to the electorate, unlike most others of his peers. One of his conspicuously unique ways is: he does not make siren noise. But with all his SANity, his surgeries on Lagos city is emplacing certain tumours while displacing certain others of the city. May be, his instruments were not sane, not sterile.
Now, take a tour of Africa, especially those areas that constantly receive aids…and see and hear for yourself. Come to Lagos, Nigeria. At first you will notice that Mr. 'Tunde Fashion is working: he's doiung some of what his peer governors usually refuse to do; making living more valuable to the governed. You'll also hear that he raises funds for the rehabilitation of destitutes; that he is conducing the enactment of laws against child-labouring. By Justness, he has opened the doors of elementary schools wider so that those who want, may enter. But soon you will notice that behind these forwardnesses, are almost equal backwardnesses. Some counter-measures, some insanities, are concurring with the governors SANity (he is an awardee of senior advocacy of Nigeria) In some instances, the governor would seem to be just a typical Nigeian governator endeavouring at grabbing glory in inglorious things. Let us leave out the road furniture (photo-cell powered lamps) he installed. Many of them have gone defunct again.
The government of Fashola encourages people to climb mountains, and almost simultaneously places multiples of slippery roadblocks in the tracks. The man came to be governor and seem to have made it his duty to hound the unprivileged folk off their businesses. He gave law enforcement jobs to ex-convicts (K.A.I; LASTMA;et sequentia...) who are clearly unrepented. While thousands were being bull-dozed away from their livelihood, these robbers hiding in government-sanctioned authority are becoming millionaires from pillaging others. Anyone who can get some bull dozers can become eligible demolition contractor. They continue their criminal endeavours in uniforms. Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) is actually a ferocious addition to the number of uniformed association of buccaneers of Nigeria.
The refurbished murderers' markets, he still calls rehabilitation centres. Particularly, that outfit in one of the swampy bushes in Majidun, Ikorodu, is more of a market of dealers in human body parts than it is of a rehab' centre. Can they, the managers, tell the world where the stretchers do carry the terminally ill inmates to? Why are almost all the inmates looking terminally ill despite many personal and corporate goodwill donations of company owners and miracle-success insurers (mostly women) who come to insure their success in life by donating food, clothing…to the inmates? Can they present any ones that ever got rehabilitated there? Even drug-dousing children of big politicians, who never died or disappeared there, because they must be accounted for, do not get sane there. Sane people get mad; mad people get madder… The law about child-labouring is as unenforce-able as it is inane in any Nigeria of now (2009). How could it be, when many of the parents of the same children granted free-of-charge schooling are having their economy extinguished by government thugs? At best, it would be too selectively enforced. Why won't under-aged children go hawking groundnuts and banana when their parents have been disaccomodated in the economy?
Many of these displaced people may not survive long. How could they? They have never had a good economy. The fragile one they have is being destroyed by a popular governor. Was it not in a northward flight away from Lagos that 67 persons perished recently…people who would not have boarded cattle trucks had they not been eoo inhumanely displaced in Lagos?
Economy is life. GDP is statistics. Take the economy (away) from people and you have taken the people away.
Echoes Of USA's Foreign Policy The U' States has a hard-honed aim of controlling the world, the whole world. She would do so by all means, including controlling the population and mentation (chemically or electromagnetically affecting the thought and behaviour ) of the world's peoples. She employs all sorts of semi-truths, deceptions and brutalities…towards this. Less advanced nations are prime targets.
Operating an ideo-economic system that, by theoretical concept, commodifies everything; and forbids heart-felt charity (not aids), and encourages deception and exploitation, the same US sends aids to other nations…
Check it out: How many of the aid-dependents are stepping up out to better standards from beggarliness?
That uncharitable institution called World Bank is owned by the USA. Cigarette warms who call themselves governors and presidents of Africans go to mortgage Africa's peoples to the imperial schemers there. The banks sponsor developmental projects that discriminatively develop more penury… People who are already down are targets of state-sponsored pressure to go down; to go further down. Nigerian authorities are always diehard clients of the world bank. I think this tallies with the World Bank's owners' policy of pocketing the world by making peoples ever helpless, ever inordinately dependent… Mr. T.F., the chief of Lagos is popular some inhumanities of his field leutenants...
