Transcorp a cloak for financial crimes by Nigerian government leaders

Standing before the Senate Committee on the Capital Market, last week, Madam Ndidi Okereke-Onyiuke, the director-general of the Nigerian Stock Exchange who is now more popularly known as the chairman of Transcorp, finally told us what we had always known: President Olusegun Obasanjo, indeed, owns a chunk of Transcorp. But even in answering the Senate committee's questions, this lady still spoke as if Nigerians are dunces and so gullible.

There are two points she made which clearly show that those who rule over Nigeria today still believe that there are different sets of rules for different citizens. She stated she did not believe that Obasanjo committed any crime, because he announced his intentions to acquire the stocks beforehand and, secondly, that he had sold off the shares and therefore divested his interests in the company.

It is simply not in Nigerian interest to deny the rights of its citizens, give away it valuable lands to support the French economy by the stroke of the pen of a greedy French Judge who was corrupt and put the economic interest of France ahead of international Justice. Indeed it would be a travesty to the generations of Nigerian alive and unborn if this poorly negotiated and pork barrel give away treaty is ratified by the Nigerian National assembly.

Bakassi in a local government in Nigeria, engraved in the Nigerian Constitution, it is not enough to simply ratify this treaty, a constitutional amendment would be necessary. It will also be wise to call for a national referandum of the entire population of Nigeria. Never should it happen that we shared millions of Nigerian lives to keep Nigeria one and it should take a single stroke of the pen of one foreign Judge in France, for us to agree to strip parts of Nigeria away. Please read the Minority opinion of the Japaness Judge in the International court ruling. It will be a shame to our generation, and our children will never forgive us for this error. Every living Nigerian should not let this happen. Stop Bakassi give away, we have work so hard to save Nigeria, lets act wisely and follow the dictates of the constitution. Lets protect our brothers and sisters in Bakassi, Nigeria is one indivisible and motherland to all Africa. Long live Nigeria. So Let It Be.

Comments by Dan E. Austin M.D
Chairman, All Nigerian American Congress (ANAC)
(This comments is not an official press release of ANAC, Dr. Austin is releasing these comments as an individual and a concerned Nigerian. Though the ANAC congress has deliberated on Bakassi and the support for the people of Bakassi has been made, an official resolution has not been paased by the ANAC Congress).

Since the Nigerian state has abdicated its basic responsibilities -protecting its [now former] citizens - before it is too late we must assist the Bakassi people to defend themselves -- NOW!
