South East Professionals Attack Buhari’s Spokesman Over Profiling Of Igbo

…insist Adesina hates Ndigbo

…say latest statement constitute hate speech, incitement

…demand invitation by security operatives

…say criminal elements exist in all ethnic groups

…warn against attempts to undermine Igbo

Some professionals of Igbo extraction have come down hard on the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesiba, over recent disparaging comments about the South East, insisting that such amounted to profiling of an entire race known for peaceful coexistence and order.

According to the professionals, Adesina’s statement, which came less than forty eight hours after the signing of a peace pact by presidential candidates of the various political parties, constituted hate speech, hence must be viewed seriously.

Operating under the South-East Professional Network in Nigeria and Diaspora (CSEPNND), the patriots called on relevant security agencies to, without further ado, invite Adesiba for questioning, noting that his opinion, which enjoyed wide publicity, is inciting in form, and provocative in character.

In a scathing essay, Adesina had literally said that the glory had departed from Igbo land as, according to him, the South East zone is now bugged down by killings, and other tendencies that may be at variance with peace, and order.

In a post entitled, “I missed the South East we used to know”, Adesina had said, among others, that: “Each time I read of killings by gunmen in the South East, I go into the doldrums. I get mortified by the sheer waste of precious lives, the wantonness, malevolence and viciousness of it all. And I mean killings on both sides.

“The innocent law enforcement agents, mowed down in cold blood, and the misguided, brainwashed gunmen, who more often than not do not get away with their evil acts. MAD. Mutual Assured Destruction. That’s what usually happens.

“I then tell myself. This is not the South East we used to know. What happened? How did grace turn to disgrace? How did young men, who used to be moved, motivated by sonorous songs and choruses suddenly become bloodthirsty hounds, not distinguishing between friends and foes, good and evil?

“How do you claim you want to liberate a people, after first shooting them to ribbons? How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! (Isaiah 14:12).

“The South East we used to know had Voice of the Cross. Oh, what a group of gospel singers! It had Sir Warrior, Oliver De Coque, Oriental Brothers, and many others.

“They would sing, and inspire you, and transport your mind to nobler things. Now, the soulful tunes have given way to the staccato sound of gunfire. What went wrong.

He continued: “The innocent law enforcement agents, mowed down in cold blood, and the misguided, brainwashed gunmen, who more often than not do not get away with their evil acts. MAD. Mutual Assured Destruction. That’s what usually happens.

“Let Reverend Sisters in the Convents, with their white attires sing those Igbo gospel songs, and nobody could convince you that they were not angels direct from above. Let the men, old, young, play the drums and other musical instruments, sing in baritone, and heaven would come down, and glory would fill your soul.

“Let a preacher from the region take the pulpit, and he intersperses his sermon with heavenly songs, which the congregation would respond rapturously to. That was the South East we knew, and not the current killing fields.”

Responding in a statement by its National Coordinator, Prof. Chika Madumere, the coalition condemned Adesina’s seeming hatred for Ndigbo, insisting that the senior journalist had shown consistency in his profiling of the Igbo race.

“The latest essay on the South East by Femi Adesiba, President Muhammadu Buhari’s Adviser on Media and Publicity, is a continuation of his campaign of hate against Igbo sons and daughters.

“We insist that his article entitled, “I missed the South East we used to know”, constitutes profiling of an entire race, whose people have an age-long tradition of love for neighbours, peaceful coexistence, progressivism, and egalitarianism.

“While condemning killings, in whatever form, we hasten to remind Adesina that criminality, and criminal elements exist among all ethnic groups, and regions in Nigeria”. It, therefore, betrays common sense, flies in the face of reason, for an Adesina to think that killings only occur in the South East region.

“Instructively, Adesina is notorious for holding extreme views about Ndigbo, and this development must stop henceforth, as we warn that no one has the monopoly of a vile tongue.

“It is regrettable that his acerbic attack on the entire Igbo race came few hours after distinguished Nigerians, including a former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Most Rev. Matthew Hassan Kukah, as well as the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmud Yakubu, had warned against hate speech, and incendiary comments during this period of electioneering.

“As a senior member of government, there are minimum standards, which are expected of Adesina, but we regret to note that he has failed the test, as seen in his distasteful essay.

“It is our view that, if allowed to stand, the aspersion on Ndigbo by Adesina has the potential of inciting ethnic conflagration, if not now, later.

“We state, and unequivocally too, that Adesina has breached extant laws, including the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), as well as the Electoral Act (2021).

“To arrest this, therefore, we demand the immediate arrest, and interrogation of this man by relevant security agencies, to serve as deterrence against abuse of privilege by persons entrusted with positions of responsibility”.

“With due respect, we submit that the failure of the administration Adesina serves under, is responsible for growing insecurity in the South East, and the rest of the country.

“May we further remind Adesina that Nigeria, today, has been designated as the second most-terrorised nation in the world.

“We conclude by stating that the Vice Presidential candidate of the APC, Kashim Shettina, was once Governor of Borno State, the epicentre of terrorism and insurgency”.

By Matthew Denis Abuja

Succour at last to thousands of Nigerian school children as Taiwo Ajisefinni Foundation is gradually putting smiles on their faces through several donations and support projects to improve their pathetic situation across the country.

Princess Taiwo Oyepeju Ajisefinni is the
Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of
Taiwo Ajisefinni Foundation (TAF) who has taken the ‘ cow by the horns’ to contribute her quota in the Education Sector towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 which is targeted at 2030 “to Eliminate gender disparities in education and ensure equal access to all levels of Education and vocational training for the vulnerable, including disabilities, indigenous people and children in vulnerable situations.”

The Federal Government had announced that 2022 year the number of out-of-school children in Nigeria has dropped from 13 million to 6.9 million in 2020.

Speaking on this passion, Princess Ajisefinni revealed the foundation was birthed following a visit she made to Nigeria in 2008 after observing the agony school children encounter.

She said ” I noticed on a particular day, children leaving school for their various homes and saw that many of them were not adequately dressed and while some had schoolbags and others without bags. For a very long time, I complained about the way things were, I heard the stories and I complained and talked about how things should be.

“No matter how much I complained or lamented, I noticed that nothing changed and then it dawned on me that I, had to change. I had to stop complaining and do something. I had to bring that picture in my imagination to reality and that is what birthed the Taiwo Ajisefinni Foundation (TAF). TAF has been set up to give hope to children and adults alike.

According to her the desire for education is to ensure that every child has access to quality education. After a few years of thinking about the best way to start, the foundation was registered in June ,2017 with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in Nigeria. TAF is also registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

The Chief Visionary Officer emphasized that the foundation seeks to provide educational support in various ways to children, especially those from indigent and underprivileged backgrounds.

“Our target is to reachout to as many schools as possible in Nigeria, especially those in rural communities. In 2016, TAF sponsored 19 people with physical disabilities by paying their fees to attend vocational courses to become solution providers in society.

“Our first school project was executed at a Primary school in Offa local Government of Kwara State were over 80 students benefited from the services we provided. Interestingly, since the completion of the first stage of the project in this school, parents, and relatives of children in the community and surrounding villages, have shown interest in enrolling their children in the school. The Foundation is also in the process of donating Lawn Tennis equipment to a school of over 2000 students in Ikeja, Lagos State.

She decried that there has been no collaboration yet with the government. However they are working towards collaborating with similar NGOs so that they can get a lot projects done for children in education to actualize the target and vision of the foundation.

” The plan towards collaborating with the government is in the pipeline as it is a means of delivering better results for all involved.

“Education is first and foremost not just the impartation of knowledge but also the assimilation of what is being taught and of life’s experiences. Quality education is therefore about the teacher and the taught: the student. Education is and always will be very important in building a strong foundation in one’s life. It is important that our children are educated, are up to date with current issues, and can provide knowledge to the next generation. Education is a strong building block in building a stronger and healthier community. As a community, it is our obligation to help a child develop their identity and be a contributing factor to society. We must refocus on the idea that a child is the centre of our community.

“The focus of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 is on ensuring that children have access to quality education and that the number of children that are out of school is reduced.

“With the number of out of school children announced by the federal government, evidence is showing that it has further recorded an impressive enrolment of school children in the last year. Therefore, more intervention from the government in synergy with Those, and like-minded individuals, there is bound to be more significant progress in the standard of education and learning outcomes.

“We plan to go anywhere we are needed, all over Nigeria. We are working on getting as many people as possible on board to be a support system and network for the NGO. Together, we will be able to do more. Our goal is to have stationed in every State, Taiwo Ajisefinni Foundation volunteer teams. They will be responsible for locating the communities and schools where support is needed and then go on to oversee the execution of all that is needed.

The philanthropist stressed that the Foundation seeks to provide wholesome support to schools.

‘We aim to support everyone in the education chain – teachers and students alike. As we provide conducive learning atmospheres for the students, we will also ensure that the teachers have everything they need to provide quality education – training and teaching aids and ultimately achieve all learning outcomes.Our focus will be on ensuring that school children get a good education by making sure that the atmosphere is conducive to learning.
Together, we can give hope, support, educate and make a difference in the lives of school children one school at a time.
