Hit the nail on the head and make a history, open letter to the governor of Enugu state, his excellency Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi

OPEN LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR OF ENUGU STATE, His EXCELLENCEY IFEANYI UGWUANYI 

The Executive Governor 

Enugu State, Nigeria. 

Your Excellency, 

Hit the nail on the head AND MAKE A HISTORY 

By Celestine Okanya, I am compelled to compose His Excellency this open letter first as a decent citisen of Enugu State, and second a sharp spectator of sociopolitical functions of our state just as a well-wisher of our dazzling 042. Making it an open letter was a cognizant choice in light of the fact that the main points of interest identify with the harmony and fate of our kin and may decide if we create or additionally retrogress. 

Unveiling this letter hence gives occasion to my individual citisens to be on notice and also store my supposition early concerning a portion of the unfurling functions. I state unfurling on the grounds that I am not stressed such a great amount over our past any more. We have squandered and showered occasions to make a superior future for our kin in past numerous years. Notwithstanding, I will talk about the previous five years to make way for the main problem. I actually thank you for the much you have accomplished for which some undiscerning and fundamentally clueless flunkiies applaud and cheer for. 

Before you become a pioneer, achievement is tied in with developing yourself, yet after you become a pioneer, achievement is tied in with developing your kin. You grow a people by making occupations, open doors for public and private ventures to thrive. A pioneer drives, rouses, and moves the general population and private areas to fabricate a thriving economy where the vast majority develop by connecting with themselves in the monetary worth chain. 

Developing our kin is certifiably not an inconsistent and unconstrained hand-out in the bogus name of strengthening. Growing a people isn't stomach infrastructural reactions that keeps going only for a second. This rule of stomach infrastructural strengthening is utilized simply by the individuals who try to ruin individuals further and make out of them a crowd of slaves and doormats. 

Enugu State is assessed to have a populace of around 5,000,000 individuals or more at this point. I challenge you to watch a calm opportunity to really ask yourself and your group, what have you done since the previous 5 years to improve financial status of normal wawa children and girls? Still, small voice is an open injury and in the event that you do have it, you will realize that celebrated "Nrashi Philosophy" has accomplished just a single lamentable accomplishment. Nrashi theory has raised youth development authority, political partner transport, political named positions to nothing not exactly round tables where plunders are shared voluntarily by a couple. Sycophancy has become a vocation in Enugu State. It is hard for any true citisen of Enugu State to kick back and imagine that Enugu is in the possession of God. God is methodical and despises misuse of anything gave by him. God scorn taking, cheating or more everything God don't arranges the feeble and defenseless. Let me center around the future for a second. 

Thomas Monson summarized my mind-set here by his truism "The past is behind, gain from it. What's to come is ahead, get ready for it. The present is here, live it." Hope is an amazing thing and it rouses us to do the inconceivable particularly at exceptionally troublesome occasions. It is a troublesome choice to keep in touch with you pointing towards disliked phases of functions yet to come. 

I don't have to remind you how fortunate you have been throughout everyday life and the difficult work you have put to get where you are today. God has favored you with the three (3) significant things in life that many seek after and bite the dust in the process without accomplishing even one. These incorporates Money, Power and Fame! Tiger Woods once said "Cash and acclaim caused me to trust I was entitled; I wasn't right and absurd". For what God has accomplished for you, don't feel qualified for be another god. Abraham Lincoln recommended that, "Essentially everything men can stand affliction, yet on the off chance that you need to test a man's character, give him power." Your Excellency, you have been tried with power for longer than 10 years at this point. In the event that cash is equivalent to abundance, there will be no contention, you are affluent. Be that as it may, one may have cash and be poor. The proportion of abundance goes past properties and money. 

God has given a ton of occasions to you. It is left for His Excellency to surrender your name in the hearts of men not on headstone. It was Shannon Alder that exhorted that we cut our name on hearts, not headstones. A heritage is carved into the psyches of others and the tales they share about you. Sadly, relatively few have the mental fortitude to address you about what can turn into your biography at a point you have the influence, and cash since they may lose the occasion to share or be welcome to your supper table. The rare sorts of people who challenges all chances to address you straightforwardly or in a roundabout way are your actual companions, all the more so when they talk the disagreeable truth. I decided to be one of only a handful not many as of late. 

I am inspired by caring affection, public great and circumstance I discover our networks and towns to emerge from my heretofore quietness. I have perused from Viktor Frankl who stated that "Nobody can turn out to be completely mindful of the very substance of another person except if he cherishes him." Regardless of whatever reason individuals may decide to connect my works with, it is love. Love for the future our youngsters and love for our networks now. My expectation is that I will be vindicated sometime in the future, ideally in the course of our life. 

Our youngsters in towns have gone to liquor and medications, terrible violations and misery. Our little youngsters are weakened so much that they start to accept the falsehoods that everything they can offer to the general public to be someone is their body. The joblessness rate in Enugu State is underdog to the most noteworthy among 36 conditions of Nigeria. It has been so even before you expected office. So I am not intimating that you are the sole reason. Your rise ought to have given arrangement and aid to lessen this pattern. Around a little over half of our populace fall inside the age section of the young people. Just a little level of these young people are utilized. Your arrangement of certain young people into political position is excellent from the perspective that you have given food on the table of these trivial few. It is called stomach infrastructural strengthening, sadly worldly. It is anyway critical to take note of that this signal doesn't add up to work creation or feasible strengthening for more than three (3) million adolescents of Enugu States. A large number of them are as of now inactive and promptly accessible instrument in the possession of our adversaries. 

This is the reason I was not amazed by how rapidly our serene dissent deteriorated to wanton obliteration of properties, illegal conflagrations, plundering and urgent chase for palliatives. Unfortunately, we lost lives, properties and numerous families are left lamenting at this point. 

The institutional rot both at public and different levels of our administration which obviously Enugu State has a decent offer is the significant reason for our present difficulties. Indeed, even I compose this letter, somebody or gathering of individuals some place are talking about and contending how much terrible administration has done to our general public. Terrible administration has carried wretchedness to larger part of our kin. We can't change the previous agonies and scars of destitution, treachery and debasement. We may need to live with these scars. Be that as it may, we can shape what's to come. We can a shape a future where we love not disdain one another, a future where we can help each other, live by one another's bliss and not each other's wretchedness. Life might have been an excellent spot however for voracity. Eagerness has harmed the spirits of men and drove them to embrace egotistical cycles and methodology of enthroning governments that makes not many moment moguls yet ruin a huge number of our citisens for a day to day existence time. This is lamentably the situation of Enugu State blessing arrangement of ideological group essential decisions. 

For just about twenty years, Enugu State political first class consummated a choice cycle that has burglarized the normal individuals the popularity based capacity to host the last say in political gatherings' essential decisions. The blessing framework received as the secret party essential technique keeps on arranging the intensity of the lion's share to pick skillful individuals to deal with the undertakings of our territory. Our vote based system has deteriorated to minority rule in its genuine feeling. This cycle, in whatever mask remain the motivation behind why we remain so in reverse in our sociopolitical improvement as a people. It has denied us of the advantage of having enough equipped and responsible individuals in the administration as might be needed to bring certified change. For the good of God, the world realizes the Ibo race as shrewd individuals. However, we have picked the silly and egotistical ways. 

Like previously brought up, this letter isn't much about surveying your administration's presentation or glaring disappointment. I will leave that end to the individuals of Enugu State. Your Excellency, I write to encourage you to shape a superior future for Enugu State, regardless of whether that is the main thing you will accomplish for us. The couple of years left of your organization can be utilized change your story for better. I am writing to exhort you on future extreme choices that you will confront. These choices incorporate the followings: 

How do the following Governor of Enugu State rise?

Effective progression plan and execution of same in a manner that ensures a superior future for the administered is the sign of good administration. At the point when progression plan is slanted for other interest other than open great, it adds up to maltreatment of intensity, wreck of individuals' desires for better future and much of the time becomes establishment of emergency for a State. Enugu state has rehearsed undemocratic and unwritten law of rotational initiative for longer than 10 years at this point. This framework has essentially given government to the hand of a fortunate however ill-equipped blessed individual with practically no competency. Those that had competency had the weight put on them by their anointer whose paws were wherever in the administration. The significant thought remained devotion to the cordial Leader and not the individuals. You rose through same cycle. It is thusly normal to be pulled in to such an unholy standard and methodology. 

The blessing cycle has been intended to shield the active chief from mistreatment and for them to keep on being in power as a substitute. Experience currently shows that nobody can ensure that the blessed up-and-comers stays faithful as scripted. We saw it instances of His Excellencies, Jim and Chimaraoke, Chimaraoke and Sullivan just as His Excellency's case with Sullivan. It can along these lines be said that the basic role of blessing had flopped consistently. 

Your Excellency, as of late a great deal of object has been created because of your informal signs that you will hand the governorship of Enugu State to an individual of your decision from Enugu East Senatorial Zone under the mask of rotational administration. I will leave the rotational contention for one more day. The political elites that have consistently harvested from this undemocratic and unwritten arrangement are clamoring for it in the affectation that it carried harmony to Ndi Enugu. Indeed, it brought harmony among the fighting political pioneers. Has this unholy arrangement carried monetary harmony to the homes of Millions of Ndi-Enugu ruined by same rotational development that has not driven us to anyplace. Try not to mistake development for progress. Have we gained ground as a state with this technique? Does it not bode well to experience a more fair cycle that can usher an able pioneer who has an arrangement and is set up to take duties and be responsible? God authority and great administration you can affirm isn't modest or simple. So for what reason would it be advisable for us to hand it over to individuals like bit of cake? The eventual fate of ages is included. 

This specific issue will be the hardest choice you should make before the fruition of your second term of office. I write to encourage you to dismiss the immense compulsion to tow that line of thought or plan. David Russell gave a support and exhort in a circumstance like this when he stated, "the hardest thing to learn in life is which scaffolds to cross and which to consume". I urge you to sever the tie that carried us to turn into the second most jobless state in Nigeria. Cut off the tie that has delivered more hooligans and doormats in our state with the end goal that Enugu is acclaimed to have more toadies that some other state in Nigeria. Your Excellency, I challenge you to sever the tie that carried us to a point where we consider the to be Governor as a Governor of a Senatorial Zone with his zone thinking, here is our compensation and plunder sharing time. End Political blessing and rotational plundering in Enugu State. Cut off the tie of disunity and let us reproduce another scaffold of political harmony that considers Enugu to be one family, one individuals, and one fate. That new scaffold will be established on energetic financial improvement occurring in all pieces of the state. For what reason would it be a good idea for anyone to mind where a lead representative originate from on the off chance that the person develops on legitimacy and win a free and reasonable political decision? Who thinks about which town or zone a performing Governor may originate from? I beseech you to cut off the tie that pitches the West against the East or against the North.

The case that revolution gave Ndi Enugu harmony is the greatest lie from the pit of damnation. What Ndi Enugu needs and what will give us harmony is Good Governance. Great administration is about fitness and responsibility to the individuals. Great administration resembles Olympic decoration, it can't be won by revolution yet difficult work and ability. Greatness and achievement are generally purposeful, arranged and can't be incidental or by karma. 

All the better you can accomplish for Ndi-Enugu is to leave leaving her with a skilled Leader picked by the individuals for the individuals. Awful administration is beast. Whoever battles beasts should make sure that in the process he doesn't turn into a beast. So my dear sibling, on the off chance that you genuinely gave over Enugu State unto the hands of God, have certainty that God is a superior administrator and realizes better who is best individual for Enugu State after your organization. 

What's more, on the off chance that you look long enough into a void, the pit will look once again into you. Try not to hear yourself out or individuals saying that you are the one to figure out who the following Governor of Enugu State may be. The unholy idea alone is in opposition to the educating of the good book. God is the one that enthrones Kings and deposes however he sees fit. Try not to play GOD! The results are immense. Book of Daniel 2:21, says that "it is God who changes the occasions and seasons, and he eliminates lords and advances rulers. He offers shrewdness to the astute and information to the observing". 

In the expressions of Friedrich Nietzeche, "I was in obscurity, yet I made three strides and ended up in heaven. The initial step was a decent idea, the second, a decent word; and the third, a decent deed". Despite mix-ups of the past, you can right the wrongs by making three strides from here. First persuade yourself that the decision of who drives Enugu next is that of God (great idea). Second, address Ndi-Enugu wholeheartedly to empower all capable people who try to that office to don't hesitate to do as such (Good word) and thirdly permit fair treatment and interior gathering popular government to be followed to guarantee that the best up-and-comer rise to lead the individuals of Enugu forward. Anything shy of this, is playing God! 

It is an immense charge now in Enugu is that His Excellency is wanting to handover to his blood connection of Isi-uzo LGA extraction. A sharp onlooker of the Enugu legislative issues and the individuals who realizes your family binds to Isi-Uzo may start to pay attention to this claim. I am not intrigued by where the following lead representative will originate from as long as we don't show up at this choice by blessing or revolution or both. I accept dominant part of the children and girls of Enugu State are keen on having a capable and responsible individual that will address the issues of industrialisation, Job creation, Security and infrastructural change. Nonetheless, ought to there be any reality to this claim, His Excellency is reminded that it didn't work for Rochas, Adams, and numerous different legislators as of late. With current political uprising, such desire not just jeopardizes your political future, it will similarly undermine our vote based system and harmony as a state at this exceptionally unstable occasions. 

You Excellency, you can't improve our reality or our state in the event that you keep on adjusting to bombed old techniques of our old political elites under the camouflage of rotational initiative or applicant blessing. What ought to be vital presently ought to be how would we address the difficulties we face as a state. We are generally observers to the adolescent uprising of this October, 2020. The genuine young people (not the toadies) are observing each move cautiously. Winston Churchill once said that "fortitude is the stuff to stand up and talk; fearlessness is additionally the stuff to plunk down and tune in". My expectation is that His Excellency will tune in to this direction with no sticker price. 

In view of what I saw during the Covid-19 lockdown and the ongoing #endsars fight, ensuring our outskirts is significant and earnest task now. Security issues are not examined in the open, so I would basically end here by recommending that a more conscious methodology and standard working technique be set up to screen the traffic and accumulate knowledge at our outskirt networks. What the greater part of our siblings and sisters at our fringes and high danger territories, for example, Uzo Uwani are requesting is basic, security of their lives and properties to empower them approach their day by day business. To us all of us speaks to your feeling of worth, your character, your passionate harbor, your confidence, your essential individual quality or absence of it. I accept this is the main government obligation to our kin. It will be a twofold misfortune for our public security foundation to bombs us and we again experience the ill effects of the state. 

The unsettling about implied "Land Grabbing" in Enugu State is another moving news. 

It's anything but a groundbreaking thought or practice that administration may procure land, be it network or individual claimed for use in formative ventures of public interest. It is additionally realized that legislature has the ability to assume control over place where there is individual by conjuring the law of prominent space. Prominent space law alludes to the intensity of the administration to take private property and convert it into public utilize just and can't be for another person subsequent to arranging a person. 

There is anyway a fair treatment for gaining land from networks or people for public use. The utilization of the expression "land getting" by numerous individuals to portray how they feel about how the legislature of Enugu State arranges networks of their territory is certifiably not a good thing. While a large portion of these grumblings may not be affirmed instance of land snatching, reality remains that your organization should put forth attempt to be straightforward in land procurement measure and draw in the network more by tuning in to the downers in light of the fact that most occasions they are the ones that gives the concealed truth. 

Your Excellency, my legit proposal is that you look for the fitting channels to get with the networks included legitimately. Having direct talk with them may give you some essential bits of knowledge you may need to change or change techniques for actualizing network ventures. You can't bear to leave an apparition picture of horrendous Leader in the brains and memory of our locale individuals when indeed you might be honest these charges. 

There are huge loads of issues that I can think of you about in the territories of debasement, anxiety, joblessness, and contemptible destitution of my kin. In any case, I end this letter with issue of debasement. Debasement regularly invokes pictures of individuals getting rich. In any case, actually, debasement's associations with destitution are unquestionably more various and unavoidable. Debasement delays, misshapes and redirects financial development. Joe Biden opinioned that, "debasement is a malignancy: a disease that consumes a resident's confidence in majority rule government, lessens the nature for development and innovativeness; reduce effectively limited financial plans, swarming out significant ventures. It squanders the ability of whole ages. It frightens off speculations and occupations". There are charges of expanded defilement in assortment of structures in our state structure. Regardless of whether it is government official mentioning actuation before a candidate is considered for state occupations, or understudies/guardians paying to get entrance into express own foundations, or SMEs giving cash forthright to be considered for business credits encouraged by the state thus one, all structures debasement may make a few people rich however my premium is on the a lot more that it renders powerless, sad and once in a while dormant. 

Let me get straight to the point, Your Excellency can't be considered answerable for these acts of neglect going on at the services, offices or offices of the legislature. Notwithstanding, the mass stops at your table taking everything into account today. At the point when you reprimand defilement in our state frameworks and in deed show model, your representatives and government employees will sit-up. I accept a word is said to enough for the astute. 

Your Excellency The battle for equity against defilement is rarely simple. It never has been and never will be. It demands a cost for us all of us decide to battle, and furthermore on our families, our companions, and particularly our youngsters. At long last, I accept, the value we pay is well worth clutching our nobility. I had the chance of deciding to adjust myself as a "hero" and advantage abundantly from being so. What makes a difference to the greater part of us singing this sort of tunes of Solomon, is our fantasy of a future when all different states will be coming to Enugu to figure out how we made her the best economy in Nigeria. 

The Posterity will recollect you with surpassing generosity in the event that you void yourself of the allurements and baffle the drummers of the thumps of implosion in name of forcing a replacement over Ndi-Enugu. I have similarly suggested here that you connect one-on-one to those networks raising voices that their territories are being attached without fair treatment. At last, on the off chance that you can see defilement from the edge of the huge quantities of individuals it renders sad, powerless and dormant sections the quantity of individuals it enhances, we may discover a gathering point. A point where we as a whole of can ascend to clasp hands together to stay the course of lifting our kin out of neediness paying little mind to our disparities in our political perspectives, affiliations or arrangements. 

I have placed this in the public space as a store in the ledger of history. Your story is the best heritage that you will leave to us, your companions. Your story in the lion building will be advised to ages unborn by those of us who are observers either in text like this or through the unbelievable sleep time or moon light stories. There is still occasion to make the storyline the sorts that will end in acclaim, similarly as it was begun in acclaim in 2015. It's said that our longest-enduring inheritance we leave to our beneficiaries is our story. I wish you karma, God's assurance as you compose your story, positive or negative, time will tell. God favor His Excellency, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi
