“NO BAIL FOR SOWORE” AND “SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR CATTLE BREEDERS.” - Benjamin Obiajulu Aduba


Image may contain: 1 person, smiling, indoor
Two topics are intertwined in this thread. I like to comment on both. On Sowore, I agree with Justice Ojukwu that it is a pity that nobody is ready to stand as Sowore’s surety. Why is this so?

My guess is that the problem is not of Sowore’s making but of the vindictive Nigerian government under Mr. Buhari. The government has terrorized the citizens to the extent that nobody is courageous enough to stand against the government’s position. It is too dangerous.

My other guess is that the court system is too pro-government that the goal in any prosecution is to give ruling in favor of the government, that a surety is bound to lose his deposited amount on technical grounds. The lack of a surety for a respected citizen like Sowore speaks volumes to the state of justice in Nigeria.

On the special treatment for cattle breeders, I like the position of Mr. Onuorah although his rambling into American support of Israel, and other topics blurred his analysis.

The problem with special treatment for cattle breeders is that the Mayeti organizations have set themselves above the law and PMB’s government has come to regard the organization as truly above the law. When cattlemen can take over a farmer’s land and if opposed kill the farmer, why will the breeders be supported with our tax money.

Most people have called for the boycotting of all cattle meat to protect the lives of Nigerians. When the government puts the interest of ALL farmers in perspective then, a special treatment for some segments could be appropriate. But for now, it seems to be a choice between cattle farmers and the lives of vegetable farmers.

By the way the protein from goats, sheep, chicken, etc. is as good as or even better than the red meat from a cow.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
