Ifeanyi Okonkwo To Remain In EFCC Custody As His Arraignment Suffers A Setback

 

ifeanyi Okonkwo

Chief. Ifeanyi Okonkwo, is to spend more days with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, as attempt by the anti graft agency to arraign him hit the rocks on Tuesday following the decision of the judge to disqualify herself from the matter.

the former guber candidate in Anambra state was to be arraigned by the EFCC on a one-count charge of obtaining by false pretense.

However, Justice A. O. Anidi of Enugu State High Court 2 disqualified herself from the suit brought before her court by the Commission against the social crusader, Mr. Ifeanyi Okonkwo.

Mr. Okonkwo, who represented himself in court, contested the jurisdiction of the court to entertain the matter on the grounds that it bothered on contractual matter, which was beyond the powers of EFCC.

He further notified the court that he has a pending matter against the EFCC at the Federal High Court and so, the commission cannot resort to self help by bringing him to another High Court.

Consequently, Justice Anidi disqualified herself from hearing the case for want of jurisdiction.

Following the ruling of the judge, Okonkwo was taken back into EFCC custody where he has been for eight days now.

It was further gathered that the EFCC had denied him access to his phones since his arrest on January 21st, 2020.

Okonkwo acted as the agent in the sale of a property belonging to Ifemeluma and Company Enterprises Nigeria Limited at Emene Industrial Estate, Enugu, which was acquired by the Chairman of Peace Mass Transit, Dr. Maduka Onyishi.

However, some aggrieved members of the polygamous Ifemeluma family, later went to court to challenge the multi-million naira transaction.

IMO, IHEDIOHA v UZODIMMA:  HOW DID WE GET HERE?By Clem Aguiyi

 

Early Church and the Igbos- Chijioke Ngobili

Having striven unsuccessfully for 33 years between 1857 & 1890—contrary to their earlier boasting—to convert the Igbo in mass to christianity, the missionaries (CMS, RCM, Methodist, Presbyterian) grew frustrated and became desperate to do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE, good or bad, to advance their ambition and scheme. To catalyse this desperation to convert the Igbo in mass was the bitter rivalry between the CMS and RCM at Ọnịcha and also in their head offices at London and Rome. To position themselves for the desperate and hook-and-crook agenda ahead of the coming 20th century, the Romanists (catholics) replaced the Frenchman, Fr Joseph Lutz with an Irishman, Ignatius Shanahan as the British traders and colonists had bitterly requested in resistance of having Frenchmen leading in their territories. On the part of the CMS, Bishop Ajayi Crowther was hounded by the white racist priests under him who began to challenge him openly even as their London head office connived in diminishing his episcopal powers. It was a ploy to quicken the old man’s death who was about approaching his early 80s. And they succeeded. Ajayi died in 1891. With speed, Ajayi was replaced by a bishop who served very briefly before he died. Strategically, a stronger and healthier British man who could match Ignatius Shanahan in the battle for the Igbo souls was ordained bishop and deployed to Ọnịcha with immediate effect. His name was Herbert Tugwell. The CMS also added another fierce man to assist Tugwell. His name was Rev. Thomas John Dennis. The RCM too equipped themselves with such fierce persons as Fr Bubbendorf. The whole matrix at Ọnịcha was then an allwhite affair and predominantly British/Irish-led. The battle for the heart of Igboland was now ready to begin ahead of the much talked-about 20th century!
But with all these reshuffle, reorganisation and reordering, the missionaries still felt frustrated in their penetration of the Igboland beyond Ọnịcha, Obosi, and Ogidi. They were all bitter rivals and quarreled among themselves denominationally. But they were united in the realisation that there has to be some application of violent force to subdue and intimidate the Igbo into accepting christianity and abandoning their indigenous religion. At that realisation, they became one with their colonial brothers who were planning violent invasion and expedition of the Igbo interiors to bring the Igbo firmly under British government.
Desperate to support Ralph Moor, the leader of the bloody invasion and expeditions as well as Gallwey and Montanaro who led other army columns, the catholic missionaries rushed and sent a memo to its leadership in Paris saying firmly “This war is necessary”. The biggest role of the missionaries in the expedition was gathering intelligence for the soldiers while they pretended to be preaching the gospel in the interiors. The CMS, RCM, Methodist, Presbyterians — all became intelligence officers and supplied information to the soldiers, exaggerating their findings most times. More desperate to have this war executed, some of the missionaries even supported the military materially and fooled the natives they preached telling them that the little gossips they hear of the oncoming war were lies and won’t happen. Arọchukwu was the biggest target as it was believed that once the Chukwu deity and institution was destroyed and the resistors mowed down with guns, the rest of Igboland will be soaked in fear to surrender both land and religion. All the missionaries agreed with the British colonialists to start with Arọchukwu. Thus, on 1st December, 1901, the British attacked the Igboland from Arọchukwu. Arọ people resisted the invasion and paid with many lives until the expedition ended on 24th March, 1902. Then, other parts of Igboland were faced for invasion and conquest for the next 17 years.
Happily, the missionaries moved in to take advantage of the fears of the Igbo people who hadn’t seen or expected such superior military firepower on their peaceful spaces. The missionaries promised to protect communities from the invasion of soldiers and provided care to the wounded persons. But that was all part of the grand plan with the colonial invaders: STRIKE FEAR INTO THEM WITH VIOLENCE AND WE MOVE IN TO GIVE THEM SUCCOUR BASED ON THE CONDITION OF CONVERSION. In that circumstance, the missionaries moved with the greatest masterstroke of only protecting those who admit to be baptised and remain consistent in attending church activities. Defenceless, most Igbo people rushed to the church for protection and believed that the presence of the missionaries will protect their communities from being invaded or shelled like Arọ, Abam and other communities in the Bende axis. For example, Ogidi people entrusted their native republican leadership into the hands of Walter Okafọ Amobi who was a British trade agent as well as a CMS agent, in the hope that he’d help ward off the soldiers from attacking Ogidi being that he was the first Ogidi man to know the Whiteman. Walter would mischievously take advantage of this and went on to become a warrant chief, introduced the fake monarchy (Igweship) in Ogidi and other parts of Anambra, ruling the people with heavy hand from 1904-1925, forced men to labour for nothing and also snatched people’s wives to add to the retinue of the over 50 wives he married during his reign.
As the first decade of the 20th century progressed into the second, the British colonialists, in connivance with the missionaries, consolidated their conquest of Igboland in grand style. The introduction of Forced Labour and Prisons helped the process. The building of the rail tracks, carrying colonial officers and missionaries on hammock for hours along bush paths, clearing long miles of roads and other forms of unpaid labour were so much that many young and middle-aged men were breaking down in the face of the unending recruitments which prevented them from working on their farms to feed their families. The treacherous missionaries knew the plan and had an agreement with the government not to recruit the converts. And so, only the non-converts who were called “heathens” were forced to labour for weeks and days without seeing their families. The wearied ones resorted to going to church to see if they could escape the predicament for the meantime. But the missionaries were ruthless. They subjected them to taking catechisms and threatened them with ejection if they absented from church or returned to their indigenous faith. To make this more formidable, the middle-aged and old men who were desperate to evade unending labour were forced to bring their Ọfọ, Ikenga, Okposi for destruction at the churches or risk being rejected as converts, thus putting the final nail on the coffins of their indigenous religion. In this way and other subtle ways of instilling fear, the missionaries penetrated the Igbo more than ever between 1902 and 1920s, destroying the foundations of the indigenous social order to build theirs. In their words of justification and unified goal with the government: “pull down the fabric of the native society in order to build on the ruins”.
For the ignorant Igbo christian who is unteachable and overloaded with dogma, the missionaries were amazing and thought the best for the Igbo. But for the enlightened, freeminded Igbo who is ready to understand and appreciate the experience of his ancestors whose stories were unwritten and were overwhelmed by the ‘victorious’ narratives of the missionaries, there is no difference between the merchants, colonialists and the missionaries who worked together with them not primarily for the benefit of the Igbo but for the utmost agenda of advancing their country’s economic well-being and material prosperity using Soft Power behind the Hard Power of the colonialists.
How I wish one million Igbo persons between the ages of 25 and 40 would read F K Ekechi’s Missionary Enterprise and Rivalry in Igboland. If I had money or knew anyone who would sponsor it, I would print the ‘hidden’ book into 1 million copies and share freely to 1 million freeminded Igbo young persons who desire to understand how their ancestors were broken despite their resistance — those young Igbo who are wary of the danger of the single stories of missionaries presenting themselves as amazing, blameless people who did all amazing things and rescued us from “darkness”. Every Igbo below 40 years should, before he or she dies, read more than once Ekechi’s monumental book which has been intentionally hidden away from succeeding Igbo generations for many years!

Why I resigned as Imo PDP chairman – _Ezekwem_

 

Why I resigned as Imo PDP chairman* – _Ezekwem_
Charles Ezekwem has said that he resigned as the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Imo State because of a conspiracy to disgrace him out office after the Supreme Court judgment that sacked Emeka Ihedioha and announced Hope Uzodinma as the duly elected governor of the state.
Ezekwem, who spoke to journalists in Owerri on Tuesday, said that he resigned in order to protect his political career.
He said that he didn’t resign because of issues relating to his welfare as the party’s helmsman but to save his political career.
He said “There was a conspiracy to disgrace me out of office two days to the Supreme Court judgment. They contacted somebody who will replace me but the plot licked.
“I was treated like a stranger in a house I was supposed to be the head. The state secretary will fix a meeting in government and just send a text when I was supposed to be the one who should instruct him to fix a meeting.
“I didn’t resign because of my welfare as the party chairman. I resigned to save my political career. They wanted to remove me before my tenure expires in August. They wanted another person to be in charge of LGA congress in April. As a member of the NEC, I addressed my resignation letter to the national chairman of the PDP.
“Gerald Irona, who was the deputy governor to Emeka Ihedioha, told my people that as long as they are following me, they will never get any appointment in government. After I worked very hard to install a governor in Imo State after many years of opposition I was treated like a stranger. There was nothing they were doing in the government I knew.
“I revived the party in Imo State and preached the message of free-and-fair primary. Imo people know and saw what I did but I was left out of everything they were doing in government.”

Buhari’s administration tacitly executing OIC charter in appointments – Akinosun

 

President of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Worldwide, Pastor Abraham Akinosun, on Tuesday alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration is tacitly executing the agenda of the Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) in Nigeria with the key appointments he has made into his government so far.

He made the allegation when he spoke with journalists on the state of the nation ahead of a vigil organised in memory of the first president of the CAC and a colourful Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Isaac Akinyele, who breathed his last on May 30, 1964.

Akinosun noted that the late Oba Akinyele was the Balogun of Ibadanland and it was during his time that Ibadan got liberated from the hegemonic rule of the then Alaafin of Oyo, before being crowned as Olubadan.

According to him, “persecution in the olden days was from the orthodox churches, but the 1930 mighty revival of the CAC humbled the unbelievers to the extent that they submitted all they called gods. Even, the mighty masquerades of Ibadan and the herbalists forgot to celebrate their annual festival because of the influence of that revival.

“But these days, persecution is coming from the government, though not directly. Our governments are shielding the persecutors, and this should not be. Whenever any president is being sworn in, what they always read to them is the observance of the principle of justice; that he should not favour one religion to the detriment of another.

“At every one of our pastors’ conferences, we usually emphasise it in our addresses that the president should make the appointment of security officers of the country to be evenly distributed. They should not be all northerners and all Muslims.

“But now, everyone can see that it seems the government of this country is executing OIC (Organisation of Islamic Countries) charter. This is because, in any country that executes OIC agenda, all officers must be Muslims. And if you look at it now, nearly everyone of the security chiefs is a Muslim.

“All security officers, including the Police, Army, Air Force, and so on, are Muslims. It is the same with all other departments like Immigration, Customs and the rest. And when anything untoward happens, they will be commiserating with the families, and the community instead of seeing to it that all those evil things don’t happen in the first place.”
