9 out of 10 Nigerians
Fellow Nigerians, we have come again with our various issues and peculiar problems. The long suffering we have endured under years of military and other forms of government has seriously affected and judgment and level of reasoning. I say other forms of government because I know for sure we do not have a proper system. After all, our president has accepted that they system that brought him in was seriously flawed. 9 out of 10 Nigerians strongly do not believe that there can be anything good out of what we have. Adams Oshiomhole has been sworn in as the Governor of Edo State. This is long after April 14, 2007 polls where he was declared the loser. Even the March 20, 2008 win at the Electoral Tribunal had to wait for the November 11 declaration by the Appeal court. I always knew that Admas was one day going to be declared winner even though everyone said it would never happen. A couple of my friends said ‘this is Nigeria that nothing will ever change’. I really wonder what Maurice Iwu has to say about this. If Iwu has any dignity (a word that does not exist in Nigeria) he should apologise to us all and resign from office. Same was also the case before the US elections, 9 out of 10 people said a black man can never rule America. Whether Obama makes it to January 20 or not does not change the fact the he has made history and this only came as a result of dedication, commitment, character and hard work. Before we go to far, the Headline in today’s papers say that Nigeria’s N40bn Satellite is missing in orbit. The Nigerian Communications Satellite (NigComSat 1) was launched 18 months ago. The Satellite was said to have issues with its solar panels. For all we know it may have shut down completely. Well we can make an excuse for our government after all NASA has lost a couple of space shuttles. Lets wait and see what the outcome of the next Federal Executive Council meeting would be on this issue. We haven’t heard any update on the issue of Miss Uzoma Okeke and her ordeal with the Naval ratings attached to Rear Admiral Harry Arogundade. I read some days ago that his family was complaining why this case should be such a big deal. I wonder why it should not. What right do those men have to beat up and abduct the lady. They should be charged separately for abduction. Also, does the convoy have any more right to the road than she does? After all it is our country. Well, we are waiting for Air Chief Marshall Dike’s report on this issue. I find all these chain of events very interesting and very funny. Sometimes I can’t help but wonder whether this country is a joke. The list of items are so numerous; • How realistic is the December 2008 deadline for gas flaring. What will happen if it is not met? • What is the state of our universities, secondary and primary schools? • Power? That is a different ball game all together. • Do we really have a minister of transport? The roads are something else. • SON – Standard organization of Nigeria. Do we need SON, since all sorts of substandard products are displayed openly in stores today. • Ministry of Health is obviously non existent – we have shit holes for hospitals even in Abuja • Agriculture is still in shambles. • Emergency services are non-existent. Need I go on? I am sure the list can go on forever. Among the governors it is the same business as usual. The Lagos state governor seems to be the only person who understands what governance is all about. We pray Comrade Adams will follows same ad do even better. For once, we have seen the peoples mandate win. It is not America that needs the change that is coming with Obama, we in Nigeria seriously need that change. Obama is not going to be here for us, so we will need to find it ourselves. So for my 9 out of 10 friends who are so caught up in the way of Nigeria, I say to you that we will make a difference and we need to start now. We must not accept anything less than the best!!

chidi opara reports will be one year old on the 9th of December, 2008, having posted our first report on the 9th of December, 2007.If this sounds like an editorial, which will be a violation of our policy of non presentations of editorials, e.t.c, to "avoid a preponderance of personal opinions and prejudices", we apologise for the infraction. If on the other hand, this write sounds like a self praise, we crave your indulgence to praise ourself this once in a year.The main reason for this information coming earlier is the recent clampdown on news media, especially, news blogs going on in Nigeria, where we are based. When information about men suspected to be security operatives, making enquiries about the location of our operation base, keeps reaching us, we have no other option than to tell our story earlier. This we think is better than not telling it at all.The journey to this destination started according to our Publisher/Editor-In-Chief, Mr. Chidi Anthony Opara, in July 2007 when on a rainy Saturday afternoon, a group of Nigerian news reporters and editors, on Mr. Opara's invitation met in "a back street hotel room in Owerri", to discuss how to actulize "a unique concept of credible internet based public information project". That meeting and follow up ones gave birth to chidi opara reports.It has no doubt been a year of trying to cope with the difficulties of internet news publishing, bearing in mind that Nigeria is a country with very poor internet infrastructure. Another major problem have been finance. Even though network members work as volunteers, money is still needed to execute assignments. When donors show up, they give conditions which if accepted, will compromise set goals. These conditions are always and will always be rejected.We will like to use this opportunity to first thank the Almighty God for his guidiance so far. Our gratitude also go to network members whose only motivation for taking this tedious and dangerous job is the desire to see that credible news information that do not get published for obvious reasons are published.We will like to also use this opportunity to thank our ever increasing readers, especially, those who have taken time either to praise or condemn us. To our admirers, we promise to do better and to those who do not like what we are doing and/or how we are doing it, we promise tolerance, that is if we survive the onslaught by the Umaru Yar'Adua Administration.

The former chairman of Nigeria's Economic And Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC), Mr. Nuhu Ribadu have stirred up disquiet in government circles with a law suit instituted against the Police Service Commission(PSC), a Government agency responsible for the recruitment, promotion, e.t.c of the senior ranks cadre of the Nigerian Police force(NPF), challenging his demotion in rank.The PSC recently demoted Mr. Ribadu from the rank of Assistant Inspector-general(AIG) to the rank of Deputy Commissioner(DC), alleging irregularity in his accelerated promotion by the immediate past Administration of rtd. General Olusegun Obasanjo. This action of the PSC was believed to be part of a scheme to force Mr. Ribadu out of the Police by some powerful persons whom he was believed to have offended while performing his duty as EFCC chairman.Nuhu Ribadu's tenure as EFCC's Chief Executive Officer is widely regarded as a period of increased activities in Nigeria's anti corruption crusade. The Commission under him investigated and prosecuted some persons hitherto considered "sacred cows", including a former Inspector-general of Police, Mr. Tafa Balogun and some ex governors.Earlier this year when Ribadu was nominated to attend a course at the Nigerian Institute Of Policy And Strategic Studies(NIPSS), observers saw it as a way of slowing down the anti corruption crusade which Mr. Ribadu pursued with vigour by removing him from EFCC. The subsequent action of demoting him, seemed to give credence to this belief.A telephone interaction between chidi opara reports and a contact very close to Ribadu revealed that apart from using the law suit to draw attention to his plight in the Police force, the former anti corruption commission chief also intend to use it to draw attention to "the double standards in this Administration", the contact informed us.chidi opara reports have independently confirmed that several attempts are being made to pressure Mr. Ribadu to drop his current line of action through some influential persons considered close to him, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo. These efforts we can report have so far not yielded any positive result. "You know very well that Nuhu is a very stubborn man". our contact further informed.We gathered also that there was a high level scheme to withdraw Mr. Ribadu from the course before his graduation and retire him as a Deputy Commissioner, "but somehow, he got the information and the only option was to go to court", our contact further volunteered.Our ever alert network members who are keenly monitoring the situation are of the opinion that the law suit has the potential to expose lots of uncomfortable facts about this Administration and its agencies like PSC.
