I read your statements on police<br \/>\npermit for rallies, the kerosene subsidy palaver and the latest was your<br \/>\nletter to the Auditor-General of the federation on the missing $20 billion<br \/>\nwhich the CBN Governor, Lamido Sanusi alleged was illegally withheld from<br \/>\nthe federation Account by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation<br \/>\n(NNPC).<\/p>\n<p>In your letter dated February 7, you demanded for a comprehensive audit of<br \/>\nthe federation account by the Auditor-General of the federation in order<br \/>\nto reconcile the conflicting figures of both the Central Bank of Nigeria<br \/>\nand the NNPC. You also threatened to take appropriate legal actions<br \/>\nagainst the Auditor-General if he failed to act on your letter. You and I<br \/>\nknow that this was not the first time money will be missing from NNPC.<\/p>\n<p>It started way back in 1977 when Vera Ifudu of the NTA had an exclusive<br \/>\ninterview with Senator Olusola Saraki on the findings of the Senate<br \/>\ncommittee that investigated the discovery of $2.8 billion in the account<br \/>\nof a notable military officer in a Midland Bank branch in London.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate committee\u2019s findings contradicted those of Justice Ayo Irikefe<br \/>\npanel which absolved the military officer from any wrong doing. Dr. Tai<br \/>\nSolarin who helped in spreading the \u201crumour\u201d through his column in the<br \/>\nNigerian Tribune was advised by Justice Irikefe to mind his own business<br \/>\nwhen he failed to substantiate his claim when he appeared before the<br \/>\npanel. Solarin\u2019s confession that he heard about the missing money inside a<br \/>\nmolue angered Irikefe and his colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>I commend your consistency and commitment to the struggle for a just and<br \/>\nbetter society, responsible leadership and good governance. However, I<br \/>\nmust warn that you have gotten to a stage in your life when you have to<br \/>\nreflect on your activism and your participatory capacity considering your<br \/>\nage and your expanded family commitments having attained the status of a<br \/>\ngrandfather. Just last month, I read that you lost your son-in-law, Juwon<br \/>\nMajekodunmi, who got married to your daughter just a year ago. This may<br \/>\nnot have any direct connection to the struggle, it is just a way of<br \/>\ntelling you that there is need to re-strategize and possibly deploy and<br \/>\nre-channel some of these energies and resources into some personal<br \/>\nendeavours. I am concerned about the fact that after almost 35 years of<br \/>\n\u201cactive activism\u201d you are not showing signs of either withdrawing from it<br \/>\nor slowing down the tempo of your anger against the nation\u2019s political<br \/>\nleadership. I must acknowledge though that your serial interventions in<br \/>\nthe Nigerian project have really helped us to achieve the little sanity<br \/>\nthat we have today, I still feel that the time has come for you to watch<br \/>\nfrom the terrace or the sidelines how the game would be played without<br \/>\nyour involvement. The history of your activism is replete with so many<br \/>\ninstances of your confrontations with governments and their security<br \/>\nagencies. Some of them were as dangerous as they were lethal. The number<br \/>\nof persecutions you have suffered in the course of ensuring that our<br \/>\nleaders govern the people according to their oath of office and the laws<br \/>\nof the land, is so massive that we your friends believe that only God<br \/>\ncould have made you survive them all, at least to date.<\/p>\n<p>My dear friend, I see some defects, structural and systemic, in our Aluta<br \/>\nstrategy. Have you not observed that all our past struggles\/Alutas have<br \/>\nonly led to changes in characters and styles? Just when you think you have<br \/>\ndealt with a Babangida and his antics, another character, possibly more<br \/>\nevil than Babangida, for instance, an Abacha, would later surface on stage<br \/>\nwith his own style, his own evil, his own corruption, his own despotic and<br \/>\ntyrannical tendencies and exploits and then, the struggle continues. What<br \/>\ncan we do to end the struggle? When do we have time to mind our own<br \/>\npersonal business? What profits do we derive from a national struggle that<br \/>\nsaps our youthful energies and faculties, and also threatens the peace of<br \/>\nour old age? What is more pathetic is that some of our people, previously<br \/>\nengaged and involved in this struggle, have been blighted by the<br \/>\nstruggle\u2019s one-step forward, twenty- steps-backward scenario, and have<br \/>\neither joined them, the so-called oppressors, or have been settled to keep<br \/>\nmute in the midst of evil, or have been disabled physically, mentally,<br \/>\nspiritually and economically.<\/p>\n<p>You and I might have been favoured to still remain alive, blessed and<br \/>\nprosperous, but does that confer on us any moral authority to berate those<br \/>\nwho have committed class suicide having seen the vanity and futility of a<br \/>\nstruggle that remains as it was in the beginning and appears to want to<br \/>\nremain like that forever? The struggle may be your life but your life does<br \/>\nnot have to be all about struggles. That is why the Yoruba say; ta ba<br \/>\ndagba a ye ogun ja meaning our involvement in warfare is halted by old<br \/>\nage.<\/p>\n<p>My dear Femi, your involvement in the struggle at this age (approaching 60<br \/>\nyears) illustrates one thing: that our generation has failed in evolving a<br \/>\nsuccession plan. When I see Dr. Dipo Fasina (Jingo) still doing aluta at<br \/>\nhis age, I chuckle at our succession failure. If we started in our 20s and<br \/>\nwe have been involved in active engagement for more than three decades,<br \/>\nwhat is wrong in handing over to some of our youths who have the vibrancy<br \/>\nand the passion for activism? Is it that we don\u2019t have confidence in them<br \/>\nor we think they lack the capacity for revolutionary resilience? For all<br \/>\nyou know, some of these youths are not coming out because they see that<br \/>\nsome of you, the older generation, are unwilling to quit the stage for<br \/>\nthem or reluctant to carry them along because you seem to be enjoying the<br \/>\nglamour and the publicity of activism.<\/p>\n<p>Femoo, I want you to tell me in all sincerity if you were not frustrated<br \/>\nand disappointed when you were rejected by your own people in Ekiti when<br \/>\nyou contested for the governorship of the State on the platform of the<br \/>\nNational Conscience Party (NCP) in 2003. You must have been (mis)led into<br \/>\npolitics and the governorship race by the illusion (or is it impression?)<br \/>\nthat your popularity and fame as an activist of untainted reputation would<br \/>\nget you into power. Again, you would have thought that it was an<br \/>\nopportunity for the people to compensate you for your activism over the<br \/>\nyears and for your past sacrifices to ensure good governance in Nigeria<br \/>\neven at the point of death. Were you not shocked and bemused that the same<br \/>\npeople who refused to vote for you as the governor of Ekiti State<br \/>\nenthroned a clown and a clueless fellow like Ayodele Fayose as the<br \/>\ngovernor of a state like Ekiti which boasts of nothing less than 3 to 4<br \/>\nprofessors from every community. What do we call this? An anomaly? A<br \/>\nparadox? Political ingratitude? An irony? A contradiction? Whatever name<br \/>\nwe give to it, there is no justification at all for an enlightened state<br \/>\nlike Ekiti to have opted for a Fayose where there is a Falana. Any<br \/>\nsystem, nay, any society, where this kind of aberration is encouraged, is<br \/>\nsliding into insanity. Though, some people claimed that you were unable to<br \/>\neffectively fund your campaign, should that be an excuse for your<br \/>\nrejection? Were your selfless sacrifices for the nation not sufficient to<br \/>\nobliterate every financial disability? Were your incarcerations not enough<br \/>\nto generate goodwill in place of financial insufficiency? Was the<br \/>\nhumiliation you were subjected to before you were made a SAN, when<br \/>\nvirtually all your juniors in the Bar had been made SAN, not an<br \/>\nopportunity for the Ekiti people to console their son who was being<br \/>\npersecuted for fighting an evil society?<\/p>\n<p>But I must submit that the system or society that did this to you was<br \/>\nunfair and unjust. I am not trying to rake up any animousity between you<br \/>\nand your people but it is important that we all learn one or two lessons<br \/>\nfrom your episode so that tomorrow a Kayode Fayemi will not lose election<br \/>\nto an ungrateful Labourer, or a poultry thief or a failed banker. Or an<br \/>\nAregbesola losing election to a peripatetic rogue. We must as a people<br \/>\nbegin to learn how to reward people\u2019s diligence and selfless services to<br \/>\ntheir fatherland instead of commercializing our electoral<br \/>\npotentials\/assets.<\/p>\n<p>I am tempted to ask you to consider spending the rest of your life in the<br \/>\nservice of GOD by joining us in the Redemption Camp. But I am not too sure<br \/>\nif you will not continue your struggle by descending on our redeemed<br \/>\nPastors and their \u201cflamboyant\u201d lifestyles. This may be a very dangerous<br \/>\nadventure. GOD Himself may be forced to ask you \u201cwhy you are criticizing<br \/>\nanother man\u2019s servant\u201d. In the church, struggle is regarded as a rebellion<br \/>\nwhile activism is seen as a mutiny against the \u201cheavenly hosts\u201d. Remember<br \/>\nthat you left the Catholic Church as a page boy when you could not condone<br \/>\nor agree with some of their doctrines. I want to believe that you are<br \/>\nstill very bitter with the Church. GOD does not encourage rebellion, so, I<br \/>\nadvise you to mind your domestic business by spending more time with<br \/>\nFunmi. Folarin, Folakemi and Foladele. My dear friend, you need some rest<br \/>\nafter a long battle with this evil society.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dapo Thomas My dear FF, your frequent interventions in national affairs these days are getting me worried about how you harness your energies, time and resources at this critical&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16749,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles-opinions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Falana, when will you mind your own business?
