My name is Tony Anenih

Apart from his age, close to 80 years, his public service records certainly do not recommend him for all the exalted positions that ‘Africa’s largest’ political party has been bestowing on him.

SaharaReporters has obtained detailed draft charges that never made it to the courts regarding the brazen looting of Rivers State treasury by the state’s former governor, Peter Odili. The documents show how Mr. Odili used a combination of government officials and personal companies disguised as fronts to fleece Rivers State to the tune of N100 billion between 2004 and 2007.

Saharareporters’ analysis of the draft charges, which were prepared by well-known Nigerian lawyer Festus Keyamo, reveal that, between December 2004 and September 2006, Emmanuel Nkatah, a personal staff of the governor operating at the Rivers State liaison office in Abuja, alone withdrew over N4 billion naira from Zenith Bank account No. 6010916567 which belonged to Rivers State Government House.

How not to build a nation: Reflections on Nigeria @ 52 (1)

“EXCEPT IN THE EYES OF THE EXTREMELY NAIVE AND INCURABLE SWINDLERS IN THE CORRIDORS OF POWER, THIS COUNTRY HAS ALREADY COLLAPSED; ONLY THAT THE HORROR OF ITS PROBABLE DISINTEGRATION WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO FACE.”

 This fascinating quote by journalist and activist, Godwin Onyeacholem, truly captures the Nigerian reality today. It’s been 52 years in the making.

Today, October 1, 2012, the Nigerian State under the supervision of President Goodluck Jonathan will perform the ritual of celebrating the country’s independence. It is noteworthy that the Jonathan administration has decided not to go for the pomp and circumstance associated with such celebrations which really would have added more insult to our collective injury. But typical of our ruling elite, the planned sombre celebration is just another ruse, meant to pave the way for a more elaborate, yet misguided, multi-billion naira celebration in 2014 to mark the centennial anniversary of the creation of Nigeria in 1914.
