With
the call by the Hierarchy of the National Working Committee of the All
Progressive Congress Party (APC) on Thursday in Abuja, the stage is set for a
full blown diplomatic crisis. Arising from the brief meeting, the Committee
called on the Federal Government to nationalise all known South African assets
in Nigeria including Shoprite, MTN, and Multi-Choice amongst others. The party also urged the government to revoke
the licence of both Stanbic-IBTC and Standard Chartered. Across Nigeria, the
Police are keeping vigil to ensure that irate youths do not cause havoc while
other countries have already boycotted a world summit currently holding in
Johannesburg. The anger sweeping through the land has been sparked off by the
violent killings of innocent Nigerians in the former apartheid country with the
Cyril Ramaphosa led government keeping mum. A video showing the burning of an
alleged Nigerian that went viral was enough to ignite the simultaneous reprisals
yet to abate. “We are ready for South Africans”, yelled an angry youth
brandishing match stick and fire wood, along the airport road obviously angling
towards the Shoprite premises. The street urchin who could not be consoled
called the South Africans “barbarians”, “monsters”, for the satanic treatment
meted out to Nigerians. But the South Africans, not showing remorse fired back
calling Nigerians drug dealers!
How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent. However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total. The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice. Causing the rumble.
