HOW THE PROFESSOR OF ENGINEERING IN PRACTICE - ENGR. DAVID NWEZE UMAHI - SOUGHT TO DECEIVE NIGERIANS. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI


Thunders clap, the floods flow, the winds sing but our politicians deceive. This is neither a verse nor a chorus in a music composition but prelude to a chapter in the story of Nigeria in our time. The Minister of Works of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Engr. David Nweze Umahi has declared that the first phase of the super coastal highway is 47.4km at the cost of 1.067 Trillion Naira.

He went further to assert that when calculated, it amounts to approximately ₦11 Billion per kilometre. In his elaboration, he claimed that this cost is for such an extranormal road construction project of 6 lanes as against the normal 4 lanes elsewhere. And besides the nature of this, the rightful calculation should be the ₦11 Billion divided by 3 (three) and multiplied by 2 (two) which according to him brings the cost per kilometre to ₦7 Billion.

The craft of deceit in his (the minister's) entire existence may have wrapped him up in such an incredible idea which suggests to him that he can actually confuse over 220 million Nigerians across the globe. Or maybe he has assumed that Nigerians do not have the brains to evaluate his claims. But I think he should quickly be slapped out of his sickening hallucinations back into reality as soon as possible.

Now let's help the fake Professor in Practice Sen. Engr. David Nweze Umahi with a careful mathematical calculation. Please follow us on this journey;

₦1,067,000,000,000 ÷ 47.4km = ₦22,510,548,523.21

What this means is that the Minister actually and mischievously announced half of the cost or, to make him happy by using his preferred parlance "average cost", per km yet scaled it downward to an unknown spiritual ₦7 Billion.

The Minister has been overtly and clearly declared by this intellectual exercise as a fabulous liar or an unworthy Professor in Practice. His certificate lacks character which is a necessary feature of the award. His integrity is in doubt and his knowledge is therefore a bitter threat to our national wellbeing. He's clearly trying to deceive the entire country. 

In the first instance, they (the government under which he serves) chose to build a "Super Coastal Highway" and nobody forced them into that. So one wonders why he should avoid his own yardstick and chose to calculate the cost per kilometre using the parameters of ordinary 4 lanes roads. 

Again, why did he choose to put up a false calculation by halving the real and actual cost per kilometre? The self acclaimed Professor in Practice of Engineering must have been making his calculations in a bizarre base because it is very obvious he is not using the normal base ten and not even the binary. It's a wonder to fathom by the world, maybe the world newly created by Chief Minister, Professor in Practice, Engr. David Nweze Umahi.

The least wonder is not even supposed to only be how he somersaulted into ₦11 Billion from ₦22 Billion but how he magically dived from ₦11 Billion to ₦7 Billion. The man is clearly a terrible liar who wishes to close the eyes of the country and walk them through fire while sprinkling water on them to let them believe a strange experience. What a man? 

This Minister David Umahi and the team of current national political leadership deserve special attention else they will run Nigeria like a hired bicycle rented from an enemy through a proxy. Their intent to obliterate all lines of possible responsibility craving is untenable and unimaginable. 

To this end, let us respectfully ask the Minister once again to please correct himself and furnish the Nigerian citizenry with the necessary and requisite information on the cost or average cost per kilometre of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Super Highway. We pray that God Almighty gives him the wisdom to answer correctly this time and not resort to insults, abuses and fights as we experienced or witnessed on Arise TV with him and Rufai Oseni.

AS THE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE OF NIGERIA BUILD THE MOST DREADED BEASTS UNDER THE SUN IN NDỊ IGBO... Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

It's clearly Nigeria against the Igbo man and woman without any exception. Recently, a certain situation took place in Uromi in Edo State of Nigeria. Edo State people killed some people allegedly from the North numbering about 16. The videos asserting the reality of the incident is everywhere on the internet and the certitude of that incident has not been denied so far. Not a single Igbo man or woman was involved in the scenario. None was seen near the occurrence. But guess what? They're already killing Igbos in the North because of the Uromi saga that has nothing to do with Ndị Igbo. What else? The government will never say anything. No Igbo politician will mention it for condemnation except maybe Sen. Enyinnia Abaribe because they're either puppets and criminals held hostage by their corrupt dealings. No Army, no Navy and no Air Force will say anything. No police or any other security portion of the government will say anything. But do you know one thing? They're forc...

PROF. SOLUDO AND THE ANAMBRA NATIVE DOCTORS' ISSUES OF THE MOMENT. Written By KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
The idea or information is that the Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo is requesting the licencing of Native Doctors in the state. I assume that this is essentially an approach to the fight against violent crimes and insecurity in the state. This ordinarily should be a commendable action by the government except that a bad route may disfigure a destination. Though in recent times, societal experiences have taught me and many others the truism of a local colloquial adage in our younger age which states that "passing six is not passing sense". Again, such experiences have also made me to understand that leadership has nothing to do with academic degrees though the basic education is necessary for modern political leadership. When Professor Soludo was elected as the governor of Anambra State, like many others, I thought that God Almighty had answered the prayers of Ndi Anambra. But through the experience of this government led by Prof. Soludo, we are learning not t...

PREMISES AND CONCLUSION TOWARDS IMO SUPREME COURT REVIEW: MNEMONICS FROM BAYELSA SUPREME COURT REVIEW. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

KEMKA S. IBEJI  For those who think the Imo Supreme Court is done and dusted upon the debacle of the APC outing today should read the lines below. The following snippets from the trashing of the APC/Lyon's call for review today is worthy of consideration ; ...the applicants failed to point out errors, stating that the judgment is final for all ages. #JSC ...vexatious, frivolous, and constituted a gross abuse of court process. #JSC ...granting the applications would open a floodgate for the review of decisions of the Supreme Court. #JSC ...the applications amount to an invitation for the apex court to sit in appeal on its earlier judgment in violation of the Constitution. #PDP Counsel The common take home from the proclamation of the Supreme Court today are; 1. Approaching the Supreme Court for review of her judgment is not unlawful and unconstitutional 2. There are conditions under which the Supreme Court can be prayed for a reconsideration of her own judgment ...
