A New Nigeria Is Possible – Ubani

 Human Rights Crusader and past President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Ikeja Branch, Barrister Monday Onyekachi Ubani, said that a new Nigeria is possible with honest and patriotic Nigerians.

Ubani’s submission followed the news from the media which he said rekindled his spirit that a new Nigeria is possible. The report had it that some custom officers at their Apapa Command rejected a bribe of 150 million Naira from unscrupulous Nigerians with a promise for more money if they were allowed to import into the country large quantity of banned Tramadol (drug)  worth several billions of Naira.

“These honest officers played along with the criminals and had them arrested at the point of exchange of the money in anticipation for unpatriotic agreement to allow the banned substance into the country. I am so excited by this act, it gladdens my heart tremendously that we still have “remnants” in this country that desire a country free from evil men and women and who consider safety of their fellow citizens above filthy lucre. They need to be celebrated by each and every one of us and such appreciation triggers a national rebirth of honest and patriotic legions that will recover this lost nation that is enmeshed in evil and corruption.

“I therefore seek the following:

1. Open and Presidential commendation to the Comptroller General of the Customs for this new consciousness of righteousness within the Agency.
2. National and Presidential appreciation and reward to these honest and patriotic Nigerians who preferred honesty to filthy lucre.
3. Approval of “this standard” for all public and private citizens in Nigeria.
4. The use of the faces of these officers as the true faces of true Nigerians from now onwards. These faces must be shown in primary, secondary schools and universities as patriots.

“I have this personal conviction and belief that This Country Will Get It Right Some Day Through The Few “Remnants” Within That Refuse to Be Contaminated with the General Contamination All around Us. It is possible if we believe. Stand Up For The Champions!” Barrister Ubani concluded.
