Re: The Rogue Diplomats at the Nigeria Embassy Berlin By Dr. Emeka Johnson Maduekwe-Germany?

After reading the above article in Pointblanknews.com-an online news portal, I have tried since yesterday to post a response, but the operators of the web page systematically refused to post my comment. This can only mean one thing; there is either a collaborative conspiracy in what I conclude to be a paid Campaign of calumny or and a deliberate resort to censor views that may vary from the position of the article. This left me with no other choice than to use other medium to express my views on this.

The Article posted on POINTBLANKNEWS is in my judgment, one that swims in polemics with features that suggests a paid, vague, baseless, false parade of innuendoes. Worst of all, it is dressed in distortion of facts. I have my reservations about the editorial board of Pointblanknews.com, accepting to publish such an article and though I respect the policy of some news portals to “publish-as-it-comes”, just that it wears down on professionalism if allegations lack empirical confirmation.

As an individual committed to promoting Nigeria’s image in Germany and paying due respect to hard working Nigerians worldwide, it will be unfair to let this paid article go unchallenged for the interest of any reader outside Germany.

I sincerely doubt that Dr. Emeka Johnson Maduekwe exist in Germany. I am one of the likely people in Germany to know the existence of Dr. Emeka Johnson Maduekwe, having one of the most comprehensive data of Nigerians in the Federal Republic of Germany. In my 16 years in Germany, I have never come across such a name. Writing under a false name already proved a motive; He/she/it was “paid to write”
Over two months now, Ambassador Rimdap was officially given a series of befitting send forth party by the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Berlin-Germany, the Nigerian community in Germany and the Nigerian professionals and entrepreneurs in Germany. This is unprecedented in the history of Germany and was done in recognition of the good job of Ambassador Rimdap and his deputy Mr. Adedeji Ayodele. He has since handed over to Mr. Adedeji Ayodele who is currently head of the mission( Charge D’es Affaires).
The multiple visa application and other fees mentioned in this article has been an issue of concern to many Nigerians in Germany. It is hotly debated till date in the entire forum with the Embassy and the Nigerian Community and I took part personally in some of them. They are neither new nor secret as you claimed. It started years back even before Rimdap. See http://www.nigeriaembassygermany.org/ under consular fees for the list of fees at the embassy
It is on record that Ambassador Rimdap stands out as one of the best Ambassadors ever posted to Germany. This can easily be confirmed by Nigerian Community Germany, Nigerian professional and Entrepreneurs in Germany and many ethnic organizations in Germany. As a matter of fact most complaints about Ambassador Rimdap is that he is too open.
Adedeji Ayodele has a reputation as a no nonsense Diplomat who is widely respected within the business and intellectual community. He is so far responsible for the successes recorded by the Nigerian-German business Forum 2008, 2009 and 2010.

My issue with the faceless Dr. Emeka Johnson Maduekwe is borne out of my decade long commitment to stay on the side of truth. It is not my duty to come to the protection of the Embassy and I think I am also not suitable for doing that since I am neither the Embassy Media consultant nor a staff of the embassy. However, it is unfortunate to watch the pull down syndrome of Nigerians who complain about everything with out showing little appreciation for good Job and hard working folks. Moreover it is disheartening that the more many of us are working round the clock to clean up the image of Nigeria in Germany, people like the faceless Dr. Emeka Johnson Maduekwe supported by their pay masters are committed to throwing mud on hard working Nigerians not only in Germany but world over using paid articles in news portals.

I challenge the so called Dr. Emeka Johnson Maduekwe to prove me wrong by sending a verifiable address and telephone number in Germany and I will personally invite him/her/it to my TV programs for a live debate to make his/her/its point. In addition I will personally grant him/her/it an interview for the African Heritage Magazine and Abuja Digest and TopAfric for a worldwide readership and will pay to publish the interview in any medium in Nigeria including POINTBLANKNEWS.COM , who published the article.
