WHY SHOULDN'T NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT PAY HIM BACK?
I dont want to begin with accusation that this type of a thing happens only in Nigeria. A man single handedly carried out gulley eronsion control: not because he wanted to do a charity work, but because the gulley encroached into his land, even tried to tear a federal road apart and government did nothing about it. The good citizen not wanted to loose his land went ahead and did his best and even repaired the federal load for the government. The government pretended as if such problem does not exist in that part of the country.
FERMA came and took wonderful pictures of the site before and during construction. I dont want to accuse them but I know the bill has been submitted to the government and the government perhaps might have released some fund to that effect and I want to say that the man got nothing. This was a project that took out of this man's hard earned money, a huge amount of money. I know the erosion control works worth 50 million naira (50,000,000). For federal contractors to do that job, government will use that small project to corner billions. Upon this, on his developing of the land, government still pose a heavy tax development levies on him.
What am telling you hear is what am sure off. I was a key supervisor during these works. This work was done in Oko and Amaokpala boundary, in Orumba North L.G.A. Area, Anambra State. The man in question is by name Mr. F. Okafor. (Fedokoby ventures).
Why am I saying this? Another utra mordern, over large, earthquatic (whatever thing you can use to qualify never seen in the world) gulley erosion has for years now threatened the lives of the people in Ezioko village of Oko and Amakoo Nanka village,Nanka. This gulley erosion has rendered many families homeless and even the Igwe of the community, Prof. Laz Ekwueme is next on the line to be homeless. Yet, government is still doing nothing about it. Several other places in the eastern part of this country has been faced by this dynamic natural disaster, yet our government is doing nothing about it.
Who will help me tell the government? We need results and government waking up to their responsibilities and not providing for us news papers full of political parties war. We want to see news about the work done and after a trace, it will be confirmed that it was done. I dont want to say much things again but the government should open their eyes wildly open to see the need of the masses, and their ears largely amplified to hear the voice of the masses. They should stop pretending as if they are not seeing what we a re seeing, and they should also stop pretending as if they are not hearing what we are hearing... God bless Nigeria. God her government. Together we shall make this country a better place.
