Senator Hope Uzodinma, a.k.a. Mr. Integrity, who robbed our land and its people of our precious senatorial seat. I see that you have been enjoying the lime light in the past few weeks posing as the Chairman of the Senate Aviation Committee and pretending to clean the rot in the aviation industry. While you may be able to deceive those in aviation industry, you cannot deceive us. We see through you and you will not get away with the atrocities committed during this election. As we have vowed in the past, we will not rest until the people of Imo West senatorial district of Imo State get their seat back. It is both ironic and disastrous that Hope Uzodinma has been credited recently with making statements about corruption and illegality. This is a classic example of a kettle calling a pot black. Hope Uzodinma is the exact reflection of what is entirely wrong with Nigeria, when the thief starts to chase the owner of the property. He has now become too comfortable and is beginning to choke on his own bone. From available records, Senator Uzodinma is the last person who should be commenting on cleaning rot or discussing criminality with a view to correcting it.
Senator Uzodinma is both despised and isolated even in his own senatorial district. There is information that the lack of character and integrity demonstrated in his criminal activities extends to his background and record. For instance, his serial lies about his educational background and qualifications make a reality show look unreal. This pathological liar does not even have the most basic knowledge of our educational system to support his lies. There is information that he did not finish school certificate from the Echei school he claims to have gone. This is probably true, because he claims he was awarded a Higher National Diploma (HND) by Federal University of Technology Owerri, FUTO. That is a lie from the pit of hell, and one only a fool and indolent liar will tell. The reason is simple”HNDs are awarded only by polytechnics, not universities. It is so primitive not to know. That Hope Uzodinma does not know that basic fundamental of Nigerian higher education shows his pedigree both as an individual and unfortunately, a low cast on the quality of some of the people who make it to the kind of position he occupies.
The media and even court records is awash with allegations and charges that Senator Uzodinma has a very long history and checkered past dominated by criminal conduct, criminality and either running or participating in criminal enterprises. We are told there are several unresolved charges having to do with violent criminality involving Uzodinma as he is charged with armed robbery. The violent crime of armed robbery represents the greatest and worst vice and vile our society has experienced to date. It has destroyed families and societies far in excess of any other criminal conduct in Nigeria.
Senator Hope Uzodinma’s notoriety and fame is even more and wider in his association with Advanced Fee fraud (419 or yahoo yahoo). All over the place, his seniority and accomplishment in this crime is a notorious fact and a matter of open discussion. After armed robbery, this is the next greatest challenge to our values as a nation and our international reputation as a people. Fraud has become synonymous with us because of the dastardly activities of the few Uzodinmas among us. Their victims cut across gender, religion, race, nationality and socio-economic status. They have destroyed our value system as much as they have eroded our national image. The destruction they have caused to children and aspiration is yet to be felt, just as the decimation they have visited on chastity, purity, morality, contentment and satisfaction among young people, especially girls.
It doesn’t end there. Uzodinma has claimed from time to time, (changing the name of the institution each time his lie was discovered) that he graduated from a Washington University in the United States of America. A thorough investigation revealed that all the known and legitimate Washington Universities of the world denied any record of his enrolment or matriculation, much less graduation. Knowing that his pack of cards were about to crumble, Uzodinma corrected his lie with yet another lie, that he meant Washington International University. What a laughable game. That is a virtual school with no campus, no faculty, no entry or graduation requirement, no single accreditation anywhere in the world, and alumni with dubious records and claims. A notable alumni of this dubious institution who finds good company in Uzodinma’ kingdom of deceit, is Asman Kamama Abongotum; Kenya’s Deputy Minister for Education who is about to lose his parliamentary position because of the unrecognized degree. And this is the same Uzodinma that is quick to denigrate the degrees issued by Nigerian universities and expresses skepticism about the several new private universities dotting the country, all on account of falling and failing educational standards. We must be even more cynical of the type/nature of educational qualifications that people like Uzodinma tout around as qualification. Of hilarious note is a side note someone said that Uzodinma’s degree in criminology is a product of his study, success and accomplishments in criminal enterprise and that his degree is being a criminal, not a criminologist.
Now that Uzodinma’s record and reputation has been uncovered, the next irony is his determination to clean the rot. He needs self-cleansing because he is the epitome of the rot. He is the perfect example of what our nation needs to clean out to redeem our image and to move forward. He is what the Senate needs to clean out to restore and ensure its respect. He is the rot that our nation desperately needs to clean out and jail to demonstrate to others that, Yes! Criminals do belong to a chamber, but not to the respected hallowed chambers of the Nigerian Senate, but rather a chamber in the basement in Kuje or Kirikiri, whichever Uzodinma’s plea of allocution or a court’s discretion accords him.
What this beneficiary of the large heart of the Nigerian State and people should do is spend the rest of his life struggling to earn the benefits illegally conferred on him (if at all possible). In decent society, someone with Uzodinma’s pedigree should NEVER make it to the exalted position of Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, much less the Chairman of any Committee.
Appointment’s like Uzodinma’s insults our sensibilities as a country, because we know that people like Uzodinma are NOT anywhere close to the best that Nigeria has to offer. Infact, they belong to the worst expression of our faculties and abilities, and the complete picture of why we are suspected and disrespected as a people, all over the world.
Senator Uzodinma, our eyes are on you and this is the beginning of displaying your very long record of ignobility and long list of accomplishment in your chosen vocation of crime. Your record of lies abroad and victims have been waiting to catch up with you and now is the time. This begins a series that will expose your life before Nigerians.
You are an embodiment of the shame and evil that has befallen the Imo West senatorial district of Imo State. We will not rest until justice is done and the people of Imo West senatorial district are vindicated. In the final analysis, you will be ejected from the seat you stole from the people and the position you occupy illegally will be returned to the rightful occupant. The Wheel of Justice may move slow, but it shall surely catch up with you.
Signed,
Concerned Indigenes and Citizens of Imo West Senatorial District of Imo State.
