PAYBACK IS A BEE

PAYBACK IS A BEE
“Payback is a bee, a bee that stings you just before it spews you a warm spray of honey”
This quote was contained in a statement released by the victims of the Nigeria civil war who recently sniffed a portion of the Federal Government allotted grievance settlement sum of N88 Billion naira.
It's safe to say that the Nigeria civil war was won in 2017, by the Biafra Mine victims of the war who had  approached the Ecowas Community Court of Justice in 2012.

PAYBACK IS A BEE: ECOWAS COURT SITTING

The ruling which was held on Monday, 24th of October 2017, granted an out of court settlement for both the Federal Government and the victims of the Civil War.
The magnanimity of the Federal Government of Nigeria is awe inspiring, to say the least, for her citizens had to approach the Ecowas court in order to plead for the removal of remnants of war instruments stockpiled in 11 states of the South-East, South-South and part of the North-Central. Keep in mind; these remnants included live bombs, abandoned unexploded ordnances (AXO), unexploded ordnances (UXO) and the explosive remnant of war (ERW).
The wonderful news is that all the internally aggrieved people of Biafra can now unite to make claims of the inhuman treatments they were put through pre and post the Nigeria civil war, get some hotshot lawyer and approach the International Criminal Court. Of course they have to raise the bar so that this time their claims will be paid in foreign currency.
We the supporters of the country that barely existed also wish to state and express our affiliations with the non-sovereign Country, even though the Federal Government didn’t take cognizance of the millions affected in other ways by this war except for the identified 86 victims.

payback is a bee, young victims of the Nigeria civil war

we must however open the eyes of our understanding according to the gospel of the nearly defunct Labor party, shine your eyes because “sukunmus siranmus “ : a man that cries must still see.
Part of the terms of the settlement instructs that the federal government “undertakes to pay, without delay (45 days maximum), compensation in the sum of N50 billion in full and final sum to the victims, their families and communities as contained in Schedule 4(1) of the terms of settlement”.
Surprisingly the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, reacted when they heard this good news “dear victims, please hold our coffee cup” they said. The department of cryptic code breaking is assiduously trying to decipher this message.
The court also ruled “That the Federal Government should undertake to pay of a total sum of N38 billion as contained in schedule 4(2) to the terms of settlement for the purposes of carrying out total demining and destruction, rebuilding of public buildings, Mine Centre activities, construction of class rooms, provision of prosthetics and all other activities itemized thereunder,”.
There are 302 affected locations across 10 states where the instruments are buried.
The states are Abia, Benue, Cross River, Ebonyi, Enugu, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Anambra and Imo states.
* "Sukunmu Siranmu" a slang used  by kegites (palm wine drinkers club) which denotes inebriation does not equal loss of sense.

NIGERIA: CHOOSING SANITY OVER LOYALTY

Image
    FACT: Nigeria is a satiric country. Satire, being the use of humor or irony to describe otherwise serious situations in an unserious manner, i.e using mockery to expose stupidity. This hypothesis is evidenced in recent events, from the Nigerian president’s refusal to acknowledge the House of representative’s invitation to his reiterating the government’s disgust in the CNN and BBC’S reportage of the #EndSARS Crisis. The state governors also jumped on the satire train, with a former governor and current minister, Mr.   Raji Fashola leading the investigators’ pack to the governors paying sympathetic visits to the Lagos state governor . The irony of this visit is not lost on one. Condolence messages flowing from all corners of the 36 states to victims (police and businesses affected) but conveniently missing the real victims of the crisis : the patriotic protesters nationwide who lost their lives and also the innocent ones arrested with no one to bail them out of their p...
