To
Your excellency,
Mr Hope Uzodinma,
Executive Governor of Imo State,
State House Owerri.
Your excellency Sir,
The aim of this letter is not to question your competency, which I know you are a competent man but to make a humble suggestion because IMO indigenes have suffered enough from the previous bad government, and it is high time to make some amendments on certain things that has become a norm in our society. A man is not measured by the content of what he has, but by the content of his characters. A good leader is one who refuses to lead, while a bad leader is one who is desperate to lead and at the end, he or she happens to be a corrupt person and he or she has nothing to offer in terms of good governance to the people.
In security study, there will be no peace in a society/country when an average citizens are living in an abject poverty. Poverty is a social construct, I watched one video cerculating on the social media, where a truck loaded with rice were being distributed in Lagos and the number of people fighting to get the rice is disgusting. I then asked myself, is the organizers indirectly spreading the Corona virus to the masses or stopping the Covid 19?
Have you seen what greediness of some politicians has caused all of us? Politicians stole the money meant for taking care of the people and dumped them in some western bank thinking if there is crisis, they will fly out with their families and be safe. Corona virus has disappointed them and it is not too late to change our ways. The situation that we all have found ourselves was created by our selfish interest. The west have closed their boarders meaning that the stolen money kept in their bank cannot be returned back now. They are using the stolen money to take care of their citizens while our politicians watch their citizens dying in hunger.
I know or guess that you are a man who has the interest of the Imo indigenes in his mind, that was why you were chosen to be IMO State governor, to show the people how governance needs to me. I must congratulate you for that and also congratulate you on your 100 days in office. I lived in Europe, I studied in Europe and I have toured the 27 states in Europe. One thing I love about this continent is their infrastructural revolution. As a graduate of international relations and diplomacy, I do know that there was a time the Europeans were in a mess like Nigeria. But through a collective effort, they became developed. We can be like Europe, if only we can remove some certain selfish interest and laws in our land, to develop our States.
I want to propose something that will help my/our state to be developed like others. When you hear about development, people thought it is something that is very difficult to achieve, without knowing that it is very simple. The three important things that makes a state beautiful are good Roads, Electricity and water. Kindly make a law to strip away all the people that has owned a street in IMO State because street should be named after our heroes. An illiterate money missed road, that has not contributed anything to better the life of IMO citizens or to his people, should not be named a street after him.
I think your office should make a law against this practices and also put a condition that before someone must own a street, the person must meet some requirements. The first requirement must be to interlock that street and do away with asphalt because it does not last long, and the gutters must be 6 fits deep covered, so that when it rains, the flood will not destroy the street.
By making this law, within a twinkle of an eyes, all the street in IMO State will be interlocked because I know how egoistic our people are, that is why they have messed up the Chieftaincy titles in our land to the extent it is worthless now. With this law, it will remove some certain burdens that your government will face with roads construction. People will hip the praises on your government as part of your achievements in office.
Remember that soon, oil will be worthless. That is why we are hearing about the 5G technology today. There are a lot of conspiracy theories about the 5G technology, but what those pushing the conspiracy theory forgot to understand is that those who have started these 5th revolution, will manipulate their way to achieve it because 5G is for artificial intelligence. As soon as the 5G has arrived, a lot of things that depends on oil, will be reduced.
When this happens, how will your government be able to build infrastructure and pay salaries with limited resources when Aso Rock have decided to reduce your monthly allocation which will happen soon. Now it’s the time to start planning ahead.
Revive the postal services in IMO Sate, make a law that every communication between banks, government and the people must be through post. With this, you are creating jobs. Even Europe with their technologies, refused to kill the postal service. But Nigeria does because they are running to Abuja every month to share oil money.
Let the Corona virus pandemic be a lesson to all of us for what is about to come in the future because something worst than Corona virus might happen soon. I know that Rochas Okorocha has his own challenges while he was in the Office, but he has vision so invite him and tap from his wisdom. Don’t follow the footsteps of Hon Emeka Ihediora, because his green cap has failed him.
Instead of Hon Emeka Ihediora with his exposure to continue on what his predecessor has achieved, he went and be destroying what was built by his predecessor. Without knowing that what was important is not about who has built the infrastructure, rather who it was built for. People in politics, should know that in governance, what matters is to whom that was built for and not who has built it.
The infrastructure he was destroying was built for the people, not for Rochas and his family. Equip and restructure the 27 hospitals that Rochas Okorocha has built. The hospital has been built, what left now is to create a system to run them.
Health is wealth and It is better to be poor and healthy, than to be rich but sick. If possible, create an insurance scheme and issue a card to every citizens of IMO state, including residents so that, with this card, people can use the card in any of the 27 hospitals and get treatments.
The question is how will you finance and maintain the hospitals, there will be a monthly payment to everyone that has been issued the insurance card or interested in the scheme so that every individual will have a computerised history. The value the money you have, depends on what services it can provide. Money kept in a bank, has no values.
Yours Faithful,
