Too Late For Restructuring, Lets Break Up – Annkio Briggs
Annkio Briggs
Environmental and Human rights activist, Annkio Briggs , has said that it is too late for Nigeria to be restructured, maintaining that what the country needs is total breakup so every emerged country will develop at its own pace.
Mrs. Briggs said that the north has more numbers in the National Assembly and hence, can always influence to their interest any bill or action they feel is against their interest, saying such could happen with the restructuring call.
Briggs said: “Going by the figures, the North is getting over 60 percent of the total local government allocations and even when we come to the states as well they also receive far more than the Southern states.
Annkio Briggs “Again, if you go to the National Assembly, they are far more in numbers, especially in the House of Representatives, and so by the time there is a motion or bill, which they are not in support of, ends up being frustrated or not being passed at all. “A good example is the PIB that had to spend over 10 years in the National Assembly. How can this continue?”
The female Niger Delta crusader maintained that the real restructuring, for her, means every region keeping hold to whatever it has, no matter how meager the resources may be.
“For me, calling for restructuring now is too late we want to go our separate ways because you see what they are calling restructuring is not what restructuring is. Restructuring to them is that the status quo should remain and perhaps a little increase in revenue to agitating regions.
“But the real restructuring is when everybody keeps what you have, even if it is only water that you have, and if you can sell it, sell it. Anything apart from that is not restructuring. What is federalism? This is where you have the states, which are the federating units.
“So a federation means that every component is autonomous to itself within that nation. So how can the Federal Government be interested in building hospitals in Abia State or building a university in Rivers State?
“Nigeria is a good example of how impossible to run a government. How can one man alone, who is of a different culture, language, religion run or oversee the rest of the people of over 400 ethnic groups as if he is overseeing his own personal property or estate? “He cannot do it right because he doesn’t know my culture and so how can he make decisions that will be 100 per cent appealing to me because the things I would put into consideration if I am to make the same decisions will be totally different.
“What we are saying is that someone who doesn’t understand a people cannot make any good decision for them. If these simple conditions are not met, governance will fail and that is what has happened in the real sense, it has failed in Nigeria.
“The then military leadership under General Abdusalami Abubakar had a rare opportunity of gathering Nigerians together to come up with a document meant to be the constitution.
“But it was bungled because what happened was that one man just sat down and made sure that the document was written to favour a particular section of the country and he called it the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“The Nigerian constitution is the only constitution in the world that tells a lie against itself and its people when its first sentence says: ‘We the people.’ That statement is a lie. There was never a gathering of any people or group of persons to discuss any constitution.
“Do you also know that the Constitution was designed to work against people who are not Muslims as the word Islam, Muslim, Sharia or Mosque was mentioned over 200 times, while the word Christian or Church was never mentioned in the constitution? And you say that same constitution is meant for all of us?”
Court Sentences 10-month-old Baby To Death
European
Human Rights Court has given its verdict on a case of human rights that will
compel a couple to allow their sick baby to die.
The
parents of the baby Chris Gard and Connie Yates have been in a long legal
battle to save their baby who is suffering from a serious genetic illness.
The
baby is currently on life support while treatment options were being
considered.
At
8 weeks old, Charlie was diagnosed with mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome
and is considered to be only one of 16 babies worldwide with this disease.
His
condition is progressive and currently incurable and eventually fatal.
Meanwhile,
doctors are developing treatments for the various mitochondrial conditions,
including the nucleoside treatment Charlie’s parents have been fighting for.
Charlie’s parents prayed
the court to determine if they, as parents, have the right to continue to
provide medical treatments for their son or if he should be allowed to die
The
parents of the 10-months old baby want the court to let them use a potentially
life-saving drug from the U.S. on their son.
They
believed that the drug (which is still experimental), would help their son’s
genetic condition rather than allow him to die as doctors have recommended.
However,
a June 27 ruling of the court held that the application by the parents was
‘inadmissible’.
The
court said that the baby was being exposed to continued pain, suffering and
distress in pursuit of treatments that were unsure.
It
added that any additional treatment would continue to cause harm to the baby
stressing that its ruling is “Final”.
“The
EHRC also removed the interim measure to keep Charlie’s life support in place.
A
spokesman for Great Ormond Street Hospital, where Charlie has been treated
since October, has told the parents that there is “no rush” to remove Charlie’s
life support.
The
spokesman said that any future treatment will involve careful planning and
discussion.”
The
hospital has said that though there is a deadline in place for Charlie, they
wouldn’t have to follow it exactly. The discussion and planning will take some
days to work out.
Meanwhile,
Charlie’s parents have so far raised over £1.3 million through a GoFundMe
account for his treatment.
With the ruling of the
court, the parents are unsure what they want to do with the money.
They
plan to donate some to the U.S. hospital willing to treat Charlie, while the
rest will be put into a charity for other children with similar mitochondrial
conditions “so that nobody else ever has to go through what we have.”
She
said, “We’d like to save other babies and children because these medications
have been proven to work and we honestly have so much belief in them.”

You Killed Innocent Biafrans – IPOB Replies APGA, Insists Anambra Election Will Never Hold
The
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has reacted to the All Progressives Grand
Alliance’s (APGA) statement warning its leader Nnamdi Kanu to stop parading himself as Igbo emperor.
The
group in a statement by its media and publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, made
available to BIAFRA CHOICE WRITERS said the political
party is simply filled with jealousy.
It
also accused the party of complicity in the various massacres of Igbo youths in
Anambra State.
The
statement read in full: “We the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and it’s
leadership worldwide view the childish antics of the All Progressive Grand
Alliance (APGA) as a jealously laden, derisory attempt to deflect attention
away from the fact that APGA as the governing party in Anambra State has been
responsible for the death of innocent Biafrans numbering over 2000. The two
notable instances being the infamous Ezu River bodies and the heinous massacres
at Nkpor and Head Bridge Onitsha respectively. Peter Obi and Willie Obiano,
both from APGA, superintended the wholesale slaughter of innocent unarmed
Biafrans on both occasions. They employed wholesale slaughter of their people
as a way of stopping the agitation for restoration of Biafra not knowing that
we are prepared to keep dying until Biafra is restored as we swore.
“In
the purported letter written by the party in Anambra State threatening a
showdown with IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu which gave order of no election in
all Biafraland starting from Anambra Gubernatorial election come November this
year 2017, APGA failed to mention the fact that Biafrans and IPOB in particular
campaigned and voted for both Peter Obi and Willie Obiano but were rewarded
with shoot at sight orders issued by both men.
“It is very unfortunate
that APGA as a political party preoccupied with feathering the nests of a
select few, underestimate the desire of every genuine Biafran to be liberated
from the slavery and bondage that Nigeria has come to represent. APGA is
motivated by personal greed and self aggrandisement unlike IPOB that is purely
focused on the liberation of our people and by extension, other oppressed
people in Nigeria.
“The
spurious and childish accusation that our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who is also
the Director of Radio Biafra and Biafra Television to stop parading himself as
emperor smacks more of envy borne out of desperation than a reasoned assertion.
There is no one more humble than the IPOB leader, that is why he is loved by
millions, so the little anti Biafra rant by APGA will only encourage us the
more to ensure that the lockdown of Anambra State come 18 November 2017 is
total and compete. We would prove to APGA that our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has
never in his life, since the inception of IPOB, indulged himself or arrogated
any powers to himself. He has advisers, but more critically he is under the
guidance of the supreme Almighty Creator Chukwu Okike Abiama that sent him.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is an easy going, caring and deeply passionate person when it
comes to Biafra. The perverse insinuation that he made himself a god is a
clever ploy designed to appeal to the envious nature of certain individuals who
wish to be like him but can never.
“It is insulting for a
party that supervised the killing of thousands of IPOB family members, which
they connived with the APC Government of Buhari to cover up, to be advising the
same people they killed to turn against IPOB. History will remember the All
Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) as the party that murdered those that voted
her into power.
“The
founding father APGA General Dim Chukwuemeka Oduegwu Ojukwu will be turning in
his grave because of the way Willie Obiano and co used the party as a vehicle
to murder thousands of people seeking out collective freedom. Today,
incompetent hands and political contractors in the society have ruined the
party, they have turned the party into a killer political machine that appear
harmless during campaigns, only to unleash terror on innocent citizens once
they are enthroned in office.
“We
are not deterred by the noise coming from APGA because after November 2017 they
will cease to exist as a political force because they killed innocent Biafrans
fighting for the liberation of all of us. We stand strongly to tell the whole
world the position of IPOB under the command leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
that we IPOB will not be participating in any party politics or electioneering
in Anambra State on elsewhere for that matter. All we are asking for is a date
for referendum not war so the people of Biafra can decide their fate in this
abominable entity called Nigeria.
“The political
vampires claiming to be APGA members and other politicians in Biafraland should
know that if Nigeria Government fail to give Biafrans a date for referendum to
ascertain the will of the people in no distant time, there will be no more
elections in Biafraland.
“Every
sensible human being, civilized and lettered person or group in the whole world
knows that quest for self determination is not a call for war and also a call
for referendum is not in any way tangled with any hate speech. We hope men and
women of good conscience and integrity can assimilate the meaning of the words
referendum and self determination, then prevail on Nigeria Government to fix a
date for referendum for the people of Biafra. We maintain that we are not
asking for war or confrontation of any sort, we need referendum to settle this
burning issue concerning Biafra, no more no less. Only those who regard self
determination and referendum as a call for war are the uncivilised and
uneducated ones here.”
