Comment on Kenya: Between Hope and Despair by Solomon Kimuyu

Solomon Kimuyu — Sat, 12 May 2012 16:27:10 +0000

This is good civic education to the upcoming young readers of Kenyans. There is another book on Kenya leadership: Solomon on leadership, the genesis of the darkside of leadership in Kenya, published 2009 by Solomon Kimuyu
It is unfortunatly, majority of Kenya readers get their information from local papers, history passes without being nestled into a publication. Though, It is very expensive to publish due to cost of any publication. During my recent tour in Kenya, I was thrilled to find that a few people men and women are now getting on self publishing, soon or later the Kenya history will become available to Kenya education syste, school aged children will be able to read about the history of their country presented by Kenya authors.

Comment on Violences in Nigeria are wrong – bishop Ukwuoma by ALI Nnaemeka Cornelius

ALI Nnaemeka Cornelius — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 09:22:17 +0000

I am of the opinion that one of the problem with Nigeria is that we have not yet understood what religion is all about. We are not the only country where there are plurality of religion and ethnicity. The fact remains that the situation needed a more serious treatment, just as His Lordship mentioned it. But it should be made clear that independent of the political manipulation of the controversial situation that characterize religion in Nigeria, one cannot also argumentatively disagree with the fact that many Nigerians are more fanatic than religious.
If not, why is that there is always a quarrel between difference groups of the same religious confession? Why is it that in Nigerian Islam, for example, there are much differences between different confraternities, movements and sects (Boko haram is just a good example of it). Why is it that in Nigeria, many Pentecostal churches are against the Catholics or against other Protestant groups? Why is it always hard for difference religious groups to cohabit without unnecessary disputes?
I am thinking that we should re-think this matter called religion in Nigeria as a country for the beginning of peace in Nigeria will depend on our understanding of the scope of religion and construction of a State and society free from a particular religious inclination and domination.
Thank you My Lord for your thoughtful explanation.

I am happy to see that you all observe the same weakness of the actual governement of Nigeria. Our nation, from my own point of view, needs men of your kind. Our effort might not be recognized since it is just one out of the millions of voices crying for a positive change in Nigeria, but our conscience will never torment us for keeping quite when things are going wrong in the nation. My advice to the youths, among which you are, is that we continue expressing our view as long as things are not moving as they should.
Surely, we will not fail to recognize all the positive efforts that will be made by all true patriots of our beloved country, but till every single member of our public servants biggings to work, we will continue calling on their conscience and hoping that one day a true Nigerian, a real patriot will get to that post of the President to deiver us from the hands of usurpers. Once more keep the flag flying my dear fellow citizens.

Comment on Nigerian sends open letter to his President by ifeoluwa olanrewaju

Kudos to Mr. ALI Nnaemeka Cornelius, you are a true and patriotic citizen. I will also like to add a few to what you have written and i hope Mr. President reads and react to this positively. I currently attend College In America, with a handful of other Nigerian students. I am actually furthering my education in Nursing Science in an institution here. I left Nigeria because there are not enough schools offering Bachelors Degree in Nursing in my country and the few we have as a matter of fact has turned it into a profitable venture, a situation whereby over 10000 students apply for the course and only about 100 gets admitted. At this stage, it becomes “survival of the fittest”. These are some of the reasons why most nursing students are seeking greener pastures outside the shores of the country.

Staying outside the country has not reduced my interest in National issues as i always read the news daily. It bothers me to hear that the likes of Alao Akala and Gbenga Daniel were granted bail with a whooping sum of N500 million naira each and with two sureties with same amount. My question is this, for them to have paid such a large sum of money just to avoid jail time on account of money laundering, how much have they actually stole? Here in America, there are numerous Nigerian students working to pay their school fees, presently as i am writting this, most nigerian students here have been evicted from dorms and are no longer allowed to eat because they have not paid their fees, yet some people are paying N500 million just to avoid jail time while some lives are wasting away here just because of like $10000 per year. No wonder, the American people no longer have mercy on us here because, we only claim we are poor, our leaders are actually very rich enough to pay about $3.2million just to avoid jail time.

Some other countries actually value the lives and education of their citizens as there are a lot of students here that are sponsored by their respective countries. No wonder most Nigerians dont like coming back to Nigeria, because, the Government only recognise them when they are successful, the rate at which Nigerians seek Green card here is so much and it shouldn’t be like that. I love my country but if my country will not contribute to my development in life, then my country shouldn’t expect anything from me too.

Mr. President, i wish you see this and take quick steps to rise up to these tasks. God bless Nigeria. (AMEN)
