And successfulNigerians will also be issued the BCE certificate after the Exam. It is an open book examination.

Re. NIGERIANS IN SPAIN CONDEMNS SPATE OF INSECURITY IN NIGERIA


Uchendu Precious Onuoha (Special Correspondent)

Re. NIGERIANS IN SPAIN CONDEMNS SPATE OF INSECURITY IN NIGERIA

(LAMPTEY ORIAKHI, THE FACE OF AN IMPOSTOR)

Our attention has been drawn to a fallacious cloned publication attributed to the Daily Times of May 17 titled, “Nigerians In Spain Condemns Spate Of Insecurity In Nigeria” by an impostor named Lamptey Oriakhi, who claimed to be the President of the Federation of Nigerians in Spain (FNCS) an umbrella organization established to cater for the welfare of Nigerians resident in Spain. For reference, see the link below;  http://dailytimes.ng/nigerians-spain-condemns-spate-insecurity-nigeria/

We, the concerned Nigerians living in the Royal Kingdom of Spain, wish to use this medium and the opportunities offered herein to refute on behalf of the entire Nigeria nation in Spain that he, Lamptey Oriakhi, is a blatant liar, a self-seeking individual, power monger, a gold digger and desperado per excellence.

It will be recalled in that publication that he claimed that it was the elections held on April 23, 2016   in   Madrid,   the   Spanish   capital that brought him as the new president of the Federation. It is so treacherous to have made such outrageous claim knowing fully that he is not the president of the Federation and there were no elections held on that date.

For the avoidance of doubt and to put the record straight, the federation of Nigeria communities in Spain, held its bi-annual elections on November 28, 2015 in Barcelona. After the keenly contested elections, Prince Taiwo Adesegun emerged as the new president of the federation along with other members of his cabinet.  Lamptey Oriakhi, equally contested for the presidency, but was disqualified for forgery and falsification of documents.

In line with the constitution of the federation, the Nigeria embassy Spain was invited to witness the elections. The embassy in response to the invitation sent two high ranking officials as observers. After the well-attended elections, the winners were sworn in and they have been performing their official functions since then. It is so misleading by Lamptey to have made the purported publication asserting himself as the President of FNCS.

We wish to inform herein that Lamptey Oriakhi, is not the President of our revered federation. Therefore, the publication and the claims made therein are null and void to the extent of its inconsistency.

Yes, we agree that the insecurity in our nation has gone haywire, but no one has sent Lamptey Oriakhi, any errand on behalf of the Nigeria nation in Spain. Hence  any claim made  in  that  publication is  his  personal views  which he  is entitled to as a Nigerian. The president of the federation Prince Taiwo Adesegun, will in due course, make categorical statement on several issues bothering Nigerians in Spain including the thorny issue of insecurity in the Nation.

For further clarifications on this subject matter, we refer you or we ask that you send inquiries to the Nigeria embassy, Madrid. The names, addresses and telephone numbers of the executives of the federation are intact in their office and they have been in constant communications on issues
relating to the welfare of the Nigeria people resident in the Royal Kingdom of Spain.

Finally, we wish to use this opportunity to state that henceforth, it will do the purported Daily Times editorial board or any other news tabloid much good to seek clarifications on sensitive issues concerning Nigerians in Spain before publishing same to avoid libel or any legal confrontation with any organization, more-so, when the publication is sent by proxy and not by direct interview or by personal representation.

We are open to dialogue and robust communications on matters bothering on the Nigeria Nation at home and in diaspora.

Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
Long live the Nigeria community in Spain!!

Our patriotic regards,

Dr. CHIBUIKE SIKE DECLARED AS ABIA GOVERNOR IN SPAIN

By Uchendu Precious Onuoha (Special Correspondent)

Dr. CHIBUIKE SIKE DECLARED AS ABIA GOVERNOR IN SPAIN

The Abia State Association (ABSA) which is the umbrella body for all Abia state indigenes living in Diaspora in the kingdom of Spain, during their general congress in Madrid on May 15, 2016 in an election which was devoid of the Dr Okezie Ikpeazu and  Dr Alex Otti  election’s imbroglio at the home state, peacefully re-elected and unanimously declared Elder Dr. Chibuike Sike the Governor and leader of Abia state people in the kingdom of Spain.

Elder Sike, speaking to our Special Correspondent in Spain, Uchendu Precious Onuoha, expressed his gratitude to God and Abians for the confidence they reposed in him to serve them. He stated that he will join hands with the parent Governor of Abia state in Nigeria Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu to make Abia state great and to ensure that Abia state retains its position as the number one state and God’s own state in Nigeria.

Dr Sike was returned unopposed based on his exemplary leadership qualities exhibited during the past two years he has championed the affairs of the Association in Spain. During this period, the association witnessed a rapid growth and recorded tremendous progress. Among the laudable achievements include;   

Restoration of unity, peace and love among Abians who were toeing the paths of different groups and clan factions before, but today has come together as one and have seen themselves as members of the same family.

The Association was registered to operate as a legal entity under the regulations stipulated for associations to operate in the kingdom of Spain. Also registration of the Abia state association with the Nigerian Embassy and recognition as a friend of the Embassy.

Introduction of Repatriation Insurance Policy, a policy which ensures that the remains of every Abia citizen is not left behind in a foreign land but taken back to his place of origin in event of death. This is important knowing that it is not in Abia culture to bury their dead ones in foreign lands not to talk of cremating or burning their dead as it’s done in Spain.

Also within this period, the Abia state cultural values were taken to an esteemed height. The “IKPRIRIKPI  OGU” war dance has become a thriller in Spain. No important event among the Nigerian, African and Spanish community is complete without the presence of the Ikpirikpi Ogu dancers. To the extent that events are cancelled or postponed until the presence of the Abia cultural group is guaranteed.

Many people after watching the electrifying and charming performance of the group declare to change their Nationality and State of origin to Abia state. Meanwhile, ABSA Spain has introduced an Identity card not only for Abians but for those wishing to change their state of origin to Abia state except the Fulani herdsmen.


An Igbo adage says; Uzo maa mma, aga ya ngalabu” meaning that if a road is good, it is gone twice. That was what Abians in Spain saw in Elder Chibuike Sike and decided that he should continue to cook for them.

NIGERIA RECEIVING BUHARI’S CHANGE INJECTIONS

By Uchendu Precious Onuoha  (Special Correspondent)

NIGERIA RECEIVING BUHARI’S CHANGE INJECTIONS

I had a headmaster during my primary school days whose name was “Sir Odim Uto” meaning “it Sweets me sir”. No scholar knew his real name. Sir Odim Uto was a nickname derived from his peculiar manner of dishing out strokes of cane in the name of discipline to scholars. If you are to receive Sir Odim Uto’s twelve lashes of cane in your buttocks, you would be mandated to say under that severe pain, it sweets me Sir as the strokes land on your buttocks.

The fear of Sir Odim Uto’s punishment was the beginning of wisdom for us kids. And as a child my daily prayer before going to school used to be, “Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name… lead me not into temptation but deliver me from Sir Odim Uto’s cane in Jesus name Amen”. To survive the pains of Odim Uto’s strokes though meant for good and corrective purposes was like passing through the valley of the shadow death.

Today, Nigerians are under the strokes of a new Headmaster Buhari, with his string at hand injecting doses of change, and as painful as the change pills and injections may be, Nigerians as helpless kids under the Headmaster, like or dislike, must receive doses, strokes and swallow the bitter pills of change.

A few months ago, under Jonathan whom the current leadership slams as “evil genius” as he is cast in the light of being responsible for all the woes and things that went wrong  in the country in the past even before Nigeria was born. Under him, the press and Nigerians enjoyed an air of freedom of expression in the media to a large extent.

Jonathan was criticized as inexperienced, incompetent, clueless, drunken master of Otuoke and things like that and nobody was harassed. But today under our new Sir Odim Uto the Headmaster, effort has been put in place to emasculate the social media by firing the first salvo to pass a law against the social media. The DSS the directive of Sir Odim Uto has unleashed a reign of terror on the media and are secretly going after journalists and those who say something against our Headmaster in the social media.

Among  Bihari’s series of change doses which he is administering to Nigerians are ; Fuel price hike, Falling Naira, Poor electricity supply, Salary delay, Decaying Infrastructures, Rising cost of living, Hyperinflation, (Fulani herdsmen ) sorry that was a slip of pen, I mean  Libya herdsmen.

After these first set of change doses which are just but appetizers and the beginning of pains and sorrow, the Headmaster cum Doctor will introduce a new style of treatment and cure called ACUPUNCTURE,  which is a specialized form of treatment in the medical field.

At that stage the injections would not only be through the buttocks but will pierce his syringe through the eyes, nose, ear, tummy and all parts of the body of his patients. By that time, Nigerians may not continue to say ,”it sweet me sir” but will react  and say , oga, iget as  ide do me…Until then the change injection continues.

TRIBUTE TO THE NRI DAMSEL

TRIBUTE TO THE NRI DAMSEL

Nine years has gone by today as I traversed a road never traveled before to find my missing rib. The journey was not that rosy. According to the holy books, “ Whoso findeth  a wife findeth  a good thing and obtained favor  of the Lord”. 

The road that leads to the missing rib is not an easy road. There could be many thorns and scorpions on the way. And you never know how successful you are until you’ve found one.

The journey on the road to find my missing rib was littered with so many pitfalls and near misses. Before I found her, who wears my crown of glory today, I fell in love a few times and while they could have been good relationships, they would not have been what I have today. 

My marriage was an act of risk, an adventure, a leap into the unknown because I never knew or met the girl I was marrying before paying the bride price. The first and only contact I had with my wife was her voice and the sweetness of her voice struck and engulfed me like a sweet breeze. The sweetness of her voice could disarm and melt the heart of the worst terrorist.

Call it love unknown, blind love,  love is blind,it would fit in and as blind as love could be, I was too lovely blind not to have identified  my wife the first day we met at the airport on my arrival from abroad to fulfil the traditional marriage rites. In the spirit of love and passion for my betrothed and in the bid to test run the act of “kissing” a practice alien to my culture but I imbibed as “a been to” I grabbed and kissed warmly another girl not knowing she was not the one I would pledge my love to.

Thanks to the benevolent heart of the Nri kingdom, my great inlaws, I would have served another seven years of marriage labour for kissing “Leah” instead of the “Rachel” I paid for. And since then I only kiss economically and diplomatically. For the rest of the story you can read, “My Missing Rib” (page 80) in The Road We Traveled, a Memoir of Two Worlds, by Uchendu Precious Onuoha.

Today I feel very proud to say it with a Gargantuas  mouth, that I belong to whom I am involved, Anthonia  my Sweetheart,  the Nri Damsel, whose voice can arrest Boko haram and the Fulani herdsmen. She is like my buckler and shield. Even my adversaries confess that when they want to strike me and remember Anthonia,  they become weak and drop their weapons. In celebration of the nine years we have traveled together with my lovely angel Ucheoma Annabel as Evidence of this nine year journey, I dedicate this poem to my Anthonia.

THE NRI DAMSEL
Ebony, dark, chocolate
Like the potters clay
Mixed together by the great potter
Giving birth to a complete beauty
A sleek frame statue with features
Fittingly packaged by
The grand designer
Like a tree with many branches
Bearing a budding beautiful body
A charming smile with a sweet lip
Encasing the snow white open teeth

Like the lilies of a valley
Opening their petals to the
Early morning sun
A sweet voice
Never, ever heard of
A voice that would make
The hardest of men
Go to sleep like a baby
Known yet unknown
Seen only but the shadow

Nearer yet like a mirage
Present but only in the mind
Once together but just a sweet dream
A dream yet to come true
The Nri damsel
My promised land soon to enter
My precious jewel

Ever mine to be

WHAT WOULD I DO WITH APOLOGY? RETURN OUR ASSETS, BUHARI TELLS BRITAIN

WHAT WOULD I DO WITH APOLOGY? RETURN OUR ASSETS, BUHARI TELLS BRITAIN.

President Muhammadu Buhari says he is more interested in recovering the stolen assets of Nigeria in the UK than demanding an apology from Prime Minister David Cameron who made a scathing remark about Nigeria on Tuesday.

Buhari said this on Wednesday at a meeting hosted by Commonwealth ahead of the anti-corruption summit in London. According to report from our source, www.thecable.ng, Buhari said;
“I’m not going to demand any apology. All I demand is a return of assets. What would I do with apology?” the president asked.
“I have already mentioned how disgraceful one of the Nigerian executive dressed as a woman  to leave Britain, leaving behind his bank account and fixed asset, which Britain is prepared to hand over to us, this is what I’m asking for. What will I do with apology? I need something tangible.”
Buhari lamented the difficulty in recovering stolen wealth, demanding for an establishment of an anti-corruption infrastructure that will track assets stashed abroad.
Describing corruption as a “hydra headed monster”,  Buhari said it does not differentiate between developed and developing countries.
“Repatriating stolen assets is tedious, time-consuming, costly. It entails more than just signing of bilateral agreements,” he said.
“I call for establishment of an anti-corruption infrastructure that will trace and return stolen assets to their countries of origin. Corruption does not differentiate between developed and developing countries. It is serious threat to good governance, peace and security
“Tackling the menace of corruption is not an easy task, but it is possible even if many feathers have to be ruffled.
“This consideration informed my decision to attend this event as well as the anti-corruption summit organised by Prime Minister David Cameron that will be held tomorrow.”
The Prime Minister had referred to Nigeria as a fantastically corrupt” country during a meeting with Queen Elizabeth.
However, his comment sparked negative reaction across the world, with Transparency International describing Britain as “a safe haven for corrupt assets”.
“There is no doubt that historically, Nigeria and Afghanistan have had very high levels of corruption, and that continues to this day,” said Cobus de Swardt, managing director of the organisation.
“But the leaders of those countries have sent strong signals that they want things to change, and the London anti-corruption summit creates an opportunity for all the countries present to sign up to a new era.
“This affects the UK as much as other countries: we should not forget that by providing a safe haven for corrupt assets, the UK and its Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies are a big part of the world’s corruption problem.”
The UK Guardian also accused Cameron, Britain and the west of “epic hypocrisy”.

“They have spent decades ordering poor countries and failed states to sort out their problems with dodgy money, even while taking much of that dodgy money and ploughing it through their banks, their ritzy stores, their estate agents, and their offshore tax havens,” the newspaper said in an editorial on Wednesday.

BUHARI BACK FROM CHINA TO FIGHT CORRUPTION


Is President Buhari’s war against corruption real or a political witch-hunt?

Flourish Osmor Ray How can he fight what his masters in the Military planted, watered and fertilized. How can he fight when he is dining and wining with the authors of corruption? How can he fight when his wife sneaks into the sprawling highbrow haven named Marbella in Spain during the Easter celebrations, 2016 unannounced? How can he fight when no one knows his wife´s mission in Marbella, Spain? The same city where Stella Obasanjo was killed by our commonwealth, where Panama paper leaks guru, General Theophilus Yusuf Danjuma has series of mansions for himself, his wives and children. How can he fight when her daughter flies in first class despite his restriction on top officials not to fly in business class.

How can he fight when his campaign was funded by money stolen from the national and states ‘treasuries? How can he fight when his best friends are looters of yester years. How can he fight Naira is now a tissue paper. How can he when budgets continue to disappear and re-appear well padded. How can he fight when Jonathan has become his national anthem a year after visionless and mission-less willy-nilly engagements? Haba! Sei Baba! Sei Maya! Sei Buhari!!!
