   Is it really the job of the Minister to do what you have asked? I would assume the administrative/management staffers at the embassy are career diplomats and foreign affairs experts who should routinely be doing what you listed. It should be a standard practice regardless of who the minister is. The criticism/suggestions should also apply to the upper management of these embassies.

   Whao!
   This is a very beautiful style of writing. I have read Dr Kila elsewhere he is always brilliant and original.
   @D Tee. You are missing the point. This is a great lesson in politics and citizenship by Dr Kila. The issues raised should be directed to the minister as he is the one politically responsible to Nigerian citizens. The bucks stop with him. It will be great to see a reply from the minister’s office.

   @D-Tee, it might not directly be the job of the Minister to solve these problems but he can ensure that these things get done. After all he is the BOSS for the time he is in office. Have you ever attempted to call the Nigerian embassy in Washington or UK? No one ever picks the phone and when you try to leave a message it tells you the mailbox is full or if you are lucky to leave a message no one returns your calls. Can you imagine how frustrating that is? Getting through to them is like trying to pierce a brick wall with your bare fingers–virtually impossible. The Minister on the other hand can enforce efficiency within the bureau and ensure his Staff pull their act together or be removed. I am sure if he does that half of the issues Dr. Kila raised would be resolved.
   @Dr. Kila, I don’t think the Minister can really do anything about the way other country’s embassies treat Nigerians because their meanness is a reaction to some of our people’s deceit and dishonesty in seeking visas.

   @Misi, I tried to make a comment which I lost when the page did not go through then I gave up, but happily your comment above is almost a mirror reflection of what I wrote and lost and I thank you for this. I’m totally in agreement with your points above and also about Nigerians bringing on themselves some reactions they get from others. Respect begets respect and we have to respect ourselves so others can respect us. Dr Kila’s postcard is a good innovation. How I wish good and valid points do get to the addressees. Hope this postcard gets to the Minister even if designed as a Xmas Card attachment.

   I agree with the contents of this postcard completely and the way it is written is just superb Kudos to Dr Kila and African Loft.
   Many times I ask myself where are our intellectuals and our elites? I compare them to what I see in Europe and I feel ashamed. This kind of approach is actually meaningful and gives hope. Dr Anthony Kila did not ask for anything that will involve money and he did not fight the minister. He simply suggested solutions, that is the way true intellectuals should behave.

   It has happened to me, but i pray if this could bring to light the crisis Ndi Igbo go through overseas.

   Dear Minister,
   I am a Nigeria domiciled in Egypt with my family. My family is with an International organisation. I have actually been asking around for an access to the Minister of Foreign Affairs for quite sometime now.

   I am very concerned at the rate people leave the shores of Nigeria without any clear vision of what their mission is.
   Every opportunity I get to talk to would be illegal immigrants and existing illegal immigrants I often ask the question – what drives them? It is amazing the level of ignorance these group of people display in response to this question. I am also shock by their resolve to continue untill their dreams become reality.

   There is a new wave of Nigerians paying so much to go to Isreal and in the process some have been killed and others are in jail for violating immigration laws. I will like to say, Isreal is a small country and a security state, everyone and anyone is under watch. You cann’t make it in and think you have blended in the population and can hide. In Egypt, when you are caught as an illegal immigrant, you don’t just get deported, you are sent to jail thereafter, you are made to provide your airline ticket back to Nigeria (if you cann’t provide a ticket, you remain in jail), unlike in the USA.

   It is unbelieveable what is going on at the moment, some Nigerians who migrated say 10-15 years ago, really want to come back – some with great family support are already coming back, for some it is out of the question to come back as their families will not want to hear of such.

   I will really want to speak or write directly to the minister himself as I have workable suggestions on the way forward.

   I am so concerned because I am a part of a prison ministry team that go to visit Nigerians and other nationals in prison, we are been strect to the limits and our sponsors are beginning to give up.

   Thanks and God bless,

   To the Foreign Affairs Minster
   Chief Ojo Maduekwe
   Dear Sir
   It will be my great pleassure to tell you what people are going throught there at hom and overseas,Hoping you will use your position to advice the present government,

   JOE (surname withheld) lost his sister-in-law last week. The young woman, who reportedly died of high

   blood pressure, left five children behind. The widower, who has no visible means of livelihood, has

   another wife who has six children – five boys and one girl. He had married that one to give him a boy

   because the five children of the deceased wife are all girls. Now that depression and a troubled

   existence have taken the first wife, it is not certain how this man will cater for 11 children.

   Throughout Nigeria, similar cases abound. Many people are no more living. They merely exist. On the

   news menu last week, as usual, are depressing news items about life and living in Nigeria. For

   instance, a civil society group, Action-Aid Nigeria, reportedly conducted a research last year and

   found that about 54 million Nigerians go to bed every night hungry. I suspect that this number is

   low. Even for some of those who are sure of having a good dinner every night, there is some

   uncertainty over the continuous availability of food on their dinner table. A man eating with a

   golden spoon today may end up eating with an aluminum one tomorrow.

   This is why a senator of the federal republic will collect wardrobe allowance, car maintenance

   allowance and will still struggle for constituency and capacity-building allowances. This is why

   ministers and some other government officials will go out of their way, even visiting juju houses, to

   retain their positions. This is also why politicians will do everything possible to win elections,

   not to serve but to corner resources for generations yet unborn.

   It is for this reason also that our youths trade in scam mails, or join gangs to raid commercial

   banks and snatch cars. Some sneak out of the country to peddle hard drugs. Sometimes, they are

   successful. Oftentimes, they are not.

   This is the fate of some 10 Nigerians or so currently languishing in Indonesian jail. Reports have it

   that about 20 of them were on death row in that Asian country for drug-related offenses. Already, two

   of them – Samuel Iwuchukwu and Anthony Nwolisa – had been executed, while Augustine Ogbonna died in

   prison earlier this month. The condemned men only have one month to apply for a review of the

   penalty. Last Friday, there were reports that the police in Indonesia shot dead a Nigerian, Oliver

   Osondu, during a raid on suspected drug traffickers in Jakarta.

   Recall that another Nigerian, Amara Tochi, was executed in Singapore last year for alleged drug

   trafficking. Last July, Saudi Arabian authorities beheaded a Nigerian suspected drug trafficker,

   Shuaib Mohammed. Foreign Affairs Minister, Ojo Maduekwe, reportedly said over 50 Nigerians were on

   death row in some other Asian countries.

   Elsewhere, especially in Europe and America, a greater number of Nigerians are in various jails for

   criminal activities. Last week also, there was a report that a Nigerian woman, Remi Fakorede and her

   daughter, Denise, were jailed in the United Kingdom for fraud. The woman was allegedly involved in a

   £925,000 tax credit fraud, while her daughter was jailed for laundering £70,000 of the stolen money.

   Besides, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Traffic in Persons and other Related Matters, in

   collaboration with international agencies, arrested 60 Nigerians for alleged human trafficking in

   eight European countries.

   The implication of this is that saner nations will continue to view us with suspicion. We cry that

   immigration officials in other countries harass many Nigerian visitors. But with this type of

   scenario, will there be an end to such harassment? We even give the impression that we are not

   serious with the fight against hard drugs. On many occasions, convicted drug couriers escape with

   light sentences only to plunge in deeper into the illicit business.

   The problems notwithstanding, the Federal Government should, as a matter of urgency, intervene to

   save the lives of these Nigerians. Like the Singaporean case indicated, it may not be easy to cajole

   these Asian countries into dropping death penalties already passed. But the government should at

   least ensure adequate legal representation and demand fair trial for these Nigerians. It should not

   relent in asking the Indonesian authorities to commute the death sentences to a more humane

   punishment.

   The government should also fix the socio-economic problems that drive many Nigerians into this type

   of business in the first place. A starting point, perhaps, is to address the infrastructural problems

   that cripple the growth of businesses here. It is disheartening that Nigeria ranked 118th out of 150

   countries the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation surveyed for 2009 ease of doing

   business index. This was a drop from the 108 and 114th positions the country attained in 2007 and

   2008 respectively. No doubt, a better economic climate will curb the inclination for this illicit

   business.

   Generally, Nigerians should realize that things are hard. They should therefore desist from doing

   things that will further worsen their economic plight. Breeding children that one cannot adequately

   take care of is a typical example,and the government should start the fight of the corruption in aso

   rock and other government Establishment.

   A common Nigerian should be able to have the following,good road,water,free health care,electricity

   and good educational systems. this countries our brother go to, are not better than Nigeria,is just

   that an average citizen of those country can asses the social economic amenities within his/her

   reach.

   Democracy is yet to bring a change to this country,Now i can believe that those fighting the military

   government is because the loot was not getting across to them.

   Sir,I will advice that the present government should do something about this regards immedately.

   Thank you

    Hon Minister Chief Ojo Maduekwe:

    RE: NON-PAYMENT OF OUR PENSIONS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF BENIN, BENIN CITY, NIGERIA, FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS SINCE 1ST APRIL,2005

    After dozens and dozens of letters to various quarters including University of Benin, Pension Commission, Abuja, Nigerian High Commission, London, The National Universities Commission, Abuja etc etc we are now approaching you directly for your kind attention and the speedy resolution of our much delayed pension concerns from the University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria.

    1. In 1972, after our PhD graduation here from the University of St Andrews, Scotland, we were selected by the then INTER-UNIVERSITY COUNCIL (IUC) in London (a committee comprised of both British and Nigerian Professors)to re-build the University system in Nigeria immediately after the Nigeria civil war. Both myself and my wife Dr(Mrs) A Sharma, served the Nigerian University system as academics for 24 years, purely because of our attraction and love for Nigerians and returned to our home in the UK in 1996 mainly because of our health concerns. It is pleasing to note that many of our ex students are now in very Senior positions both in Nigeria and abroad as Professors, Chairpersons of both public and private enterprises, military officers, ministers and so on. We fully dedicated our lives to the service of Nigeria with full passion and energy.

    2. At the beginning, we did receive our pensions here in the UK from the University of Benin for the first nine(9) years from 1st April 1996 to 31st March 2005 in accordance with the then laid down pension regulations for the expatriate staff which stipulated that pension will be paid directly into our nominated Bank Accounts in the UK (our country of residence)by the Nigeria Universities Office based at the Nigerian High Commission in London. However, after 9 years of such payment, our pensions were suddenly discontinued from 1st April 2005. After numerous letters and many reminders to the Vice-Chancellor (Professor E.A.C. Nwanze)of the University of Benin for the past 4 years , the university authorities are now demanding that we should both present ourselves physically to the University of Benin authorities and also to the Nigerian Pension Commission in Abuja, before our pensions could resume payments from 1st April 2005. This new demand violates the then pension conditions under which we retired in 1996. Moreover, we retired in 1996 solely due to health concerns and as such we are unable to present ourselves physically at this point in time (after 13 years of retirement) both at the University of Benin and also at the Pension Commission, Abuja, as per the new demanded.

    3. In response to the above new demand from the University of Benin and the Nigerian Pension Commission, Abuja, we have written several letters to the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Benin stating that at this age and stage, as pensioners with severe financial constraints and serious health concerns(which was the main reason to retire from the University in the first instance) we were unable to travel to Nigeria to present ourselves physically before the University of Benin authorities and also before the Nigerian Pension Commission in Abuja. Instead, as usual, we did send to the University of Benin authorities our life certificates duly authenticated by our Attorneys in the UK stating that we were still alive and also giving them the added option that we were prepared to present ourselves physically before the Nigeria High Commission in London which is the authentic arm of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and which indeed represents the Federal Government of Nigeria in the UK or before any other organ of the Federal Republic of Nigeria here in the UK e.g. The Nigerian Universities Office also based at the Nigerian High Commission in London and which represents the interests of National Universities Commission in Abuja. Very sadly, however, these legitimate options put forward by us have been ignored both by the University of Benin and the Pension Commission, Abuja, and as a result, our pensions from the University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria, continue to remain unpaid for the past 4 years starting from 1st April 2005.

    4. In view of the above predicaments, we are left with no option but to contact you directly through this channel and seek your urgent help and support on the non-payment of our legitimate pension rights from Nigeria for the past 4 years. Needless to say, we have earned our pensions from Nigeria and our pensions are our inalienable legitimate rights which can neither be ignored nor usurped under any circumstance but sadly these have been violated and denied us for the past 4 years.

    5. And finally, we both thank you for your time and attention and look forward to your full support for the speedy resolution of our pension concerns caused entirely and unjustifiably by the University of Benin and the Nigerian Pension Commission in Abuja. We are optimistic,with you help, our backlog of pensions for myself and my wife Dr(Mrs) A Sharma will resume payment,once again by the Nigeria Universities Office based at the Nigeria High Commission in London. We look forward to your kind and prompt response on our lingering pensions.

    With our kind regards.

    Dear Hon. Ojo Maduekwe Esq.:

    Please use your good office to intervene in the execution of Nigerians in Libya that is going on now. I have written protest letters to Libya embassy but I am pretty sure that your intervention based on your official capacity and a man of God can rescue some of these brothers that are facing execution. They ended up in Libya illegally because of the economic condition in Nigeria and I think they are wrong. Executing them for violating Libya’s borders is extreme and the world should stop this immediately. If USA should be executing the illegal immigrants in USA today they will be killing them in thousands daily.

    I also think that sending one of our Nigerian officials of your Ministry to Libya may show how serious this situation is. This is 21st century and the world is becoming global and economically dependent on each other country.

    Dear Hon. Ojo Maduekwe Esq:

    My name is Davies Gabriel Please Sir i want you to use your good office to intervene in the execution of my brother Davies Isholary Oluwasegun who is a Nigerian He left the shore of Nigeria to the Republic of Azerbaijan where he live with his belove wife for the past few months have not read from him only to get this mail sent me from his wife over there. sir in want you to use your good office to intervene into the matter may God bless you amen.
    This is the letter i got through my email from him
    I am writing this application due to the rights and duties determined by the law in the article 91 of criminal procedural code of the Republic of Azerbaijan. That the criminal case under articles 206.4, 234.41, 234.42, 234.43 charged against me were not confirmed, so due to this i should be released under article 153.3.1 of criminal procedure code of Azerbaijan Republic.
    On the 9th of march 2009 at about 12pm in the night i was arrested inside my apartment 16 C. Nakhchivanski street, Nizami District, Baku city with two of my room mate called Peter Onajite Michael and Nduka Valentin.. we were at home when the police man came in with 1 Nigeria man called James Ogeneruem who lie to the police man that he’s living in our apartment.
    When they came in they were searching our house doing this process i called one of the police man who speak English, that why are they searching our house? One of them replied and said James was cut with heroin and he was arrested in the street, so they ask him to take them to his house and he brought them down to our house. So i told the police man that James is not living here and beside everybody living in this apartment has a bag why not ask James to bring out his bags or any of this things, if he is really living in this apartment. But the police man didn’t listen to me.
    So after some time they search and they didn’t find any drugs in our apartment. Neither any illegal substances nor any illegal thing was found from our apartment during the police operation. So after this operation i and 2 of my room mate Peter Onajite Michael and Nduka Valentin were invited down to the police department. The only thing the police men took in my apartment was my note book.
    When we got to the police department, they collected some things, like our phones from me and two of my room mate which was record down and signed but they didn’t write down the two note book they collected from me and Valentin, they keep those note books inside their office and luck us up inside the cell.So after two days i was told to come out and sign some documents.. When i came out the police man gave me the document to sign to, so i told him i can not sign this document, because this document it’s not in English language, but the interpreter called M.Aliev interpret the document to me but did not translate the document in English language, so he interpreted document and said due to the accusation against me they find out that i did not know any thing about the narcotics, which is true so they have been told to release me within 15min, which i believe and i sign the document, after some time at about 3 hours, i notice that it was a big set up for me and they did not release me. until 5 days later when i was told that, i will be going to the court which was on the 13th of march 2009. and it was then i notices that the document i sign is a criminal accusation against me for a crime i did not commit.
    When we get to the court the investigator and the interpreter start to change everything in Azerbaijan language, which i did not understand anything. So at the end i was given 3 month in prison for more investigation for crime i did not commit. So after 3 month of their investigation, the investigator and the interpreter came again on June 03 2009 with my republican lawyer, and i was given another document to sign , so i ask the interpreter the meaning of the document. He interpret the document and said: Davies due to the accusation charged against all of you, we have inform the Nigerian Deputy about the criminal accusation charged against you, so will you like to be in prison in Nigeria or here in Azerbaijan, so due to this we need your signature, so i reply why should i go to prison, if i did not commit any crime.
    So due to this i did not sign and i also requested for the English copy of that same document, which was given to me on June 04 2009, on June 4 2009 i got the document in English, and i went through the document and i find out the document is not true, so due to this i did not sign the document.
    On June 16th 2009 i was given another document, which is the investigation. So due to the investigation, there is know criminal activities committed by me under articles 206.4, 234.41, 234.4.2, 234.43 of the criminal code of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
    And due to the article 91 of criminal procedural code of the Republic of Azerbaijan with my rights and duties determined by the law and meant in the article i am not guilty of the accusation charged against me under the articles 206.4, 234.41, 234.4.2, 234.43. So due to this reason i must be released.
    Because due to the investigation, i dont have any relationship with James, Sabastin and Philip and James is not living in my house and due to Sabastian Ogbonna Okechukvu Statement in the investigation letter that was given to me it was confirm that, he went to James apartment in the vicinity of Yasamal market situated in Yasamal district, Baku city together with Philip after they left the church on march 08.2009 and on march 08 Sabastin, Philip and James did not come to my house, and on march 09 2009 i was arrested.
    And due to the investigation and statement of Okvara Philip Namdi, he also confirmed that James invited him and Sabastin to his rented apartment in Baku city after he went out of the church on march 08.2009 but not my apartment, meaning James is not living in our apartment.
    And due to the Investigation and statement of Hajiverdiev Rufat Aghaverdi confirmed that the handbags was given to him by Sabastin and Philip at about 20:30 on march 08 2009 at the apartment, resided by Sabastin in Basti Baghirova street, Yasamal district, Baku city, and i have never been to this apartment and when Rufat went to this apartment to take bag, I am not there and in his investigation, he added that he even knew Peter, Davies, Valentine and also testified that i and my room mate were in close relation with James and James lived in our rented apartment in Nakhchivanski street, Nizami district, Baku city together with us in last times but i must confirm that this is not true, because i don’t know who is Rufat Hajiverdiev, Abdullaeva Ulviya Gudrat, Mammadli Tarlan Sabuhi, Mammadli Naida Salamudinova, Maharramli Samira Abbas, Safarov Rustam Gazanfar and up to date i don’t know how they look like.
    And due to each of them statement, that testified that they know me which i understand that it’s the work between them and the police with the investigator, to testify that they know me and they said James live in my house in last time, but i was arrested on the 9th of march 2009 and as at march 08 2009 in Sabastin and Philip statement was confirmed that James invited both of them to his rented apartment in the vicinity of Yasamal market on 08 of march 2009.
    So due to this Reason the investigation and criminal accusation charged against me were not confirmed and i should be released and compensate for keeping me under arrest on a crime i didn’t commit, they did not find heroin in my apartment and i did not know any thing about the heroin they found in Sabastin apartment and same thing about the bags that was given to Rufat. I am really innocent of the accusation against me.
    And since 9th of march i have been in prison suffering for a crime i did not commit and again suffering from tuberculosis disease, no treatment, no tablet, no clothes and no phone or other means of communication to contact my family about my arrest and to contact my doctor for tablet and still i was put in prison for a crime i did not commit.
    So due to this reason, i am not guilty, taking into account article 91 of the procedure criminal law of Azerbaijan Republic duties and rights have to be explained because i have no lawyer.

That the criminal case under articles 206.4, 234.41, 234.42, 234.43 charged against me were not confirmed, so due to this i should be released under article 153.3.1 of criminal procedure code of Azerbaijan Republic.
    On the 9th of march 2009 at about 12pm in the night i was arrested inside my apartment 16 C. Nakhchivanski street, Nizami District, Baku city with two of my room mate called Peter Onajite Michael and Nduka Valentin.. we were at home when the police man came in with 1 Nigeria man called James Ogeneruem who lie to the police man that he’s living in our apartment.
    When they came in they were searching our house doing this process i called one of the police man who speak English, that why are they searching our house? One of them replied and said James was cut with heroin and he was arrested in the street, so they ask him to take them to his house and he brought them down to our house. So i told the police man that James is not living here and beside everybody living in this apartment has a bag why not ask James to bring out his bags or any of this things, if he is really living in this apartment. But the police man didn’t listen to me.
    So after some time they search and they didn’t find any drugs in our apartment. Neither any illegal substances nor any illegal thing was found from our apartment during the police operation. So after this operation i and 2 of my room mate Peter Onajite Michael and Nduka Valentin were invited down to the police department. The only thing the police men took in my apartment was my note book.
    When we got to the police department, they collected some things, like our phones from me and two of my room mate which was record down and signed but they didn’t write down the two note book they collected from me and Valentin, they keep those note books inside their office and luck us up inside the cell.So after two days i was told to come out and sign some documents.. When i came out the police man gave me the document to sign to, so i told him i can not sign this document, because this document it’s not in English language, but the interpreter called M.Aliev interpret the document to me but did not translate the document in English language, so he interpreted document and said due to the accusation against me they find out that i did not know any thing about the narcotics, which is true so they have been told to release me within 15min, which i believe and i sign the document, after some time at about 3 hours, i notice that it was a big set up for me and they did not release me. until 5 days later when i was told that, i will be going to the court which was on the 13th of march 2009. and it was then i notices that the document i sign is a criminal accusation against me for a crime i did not commit.
    When we get to the court the investigator and the interpreter start to change everything in Azerbaijan language, which i did not understand anything. So at the end i was given 3 month in prison for more investigation for crime i did not commit. So after 3 month of their investigation, the investigator and the interpreter came again on June 03 2009 with my republican lawyer, and i was given another document to sign , so i ask the interpreter the meaning of the document. He interpret the document and said: Davies due to the accusation charged against all of you, we have inform the Nigerian Deputy about the criminal accusation charged against you, so will you like to be in prison in Nigeria or here in Azerbaijan, so due to this we need your signature, so i reply why should i go to prison, if i did not commit any crime.
    So due to this i did not sign and i also requested for the English copy of that same document, which was given to me on June 04 2009, on June 4 2009 i got the document in English, and i went through the document and i find out the document is not true, so due to this i did not sign the document.
    On June 16th 2009 i was given another document, which is the investigation. So due to the investigation, there is know criminal activities committed by me under articles 206.4, 234.41, 234.4.2, 234.43 of the criminal code of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
    And due to the article 91 of criminal procedural code of the Republic of Azerbaijan with my rights and duties determined by the law and meant in the article i am not guilty of the accusation charged against me under the articles 206.4, 234.41, 234.4.2, 234.43. So due to this reason i must be released.
    Because due to the investigation, i dont have any relationship with James, Sabastin and Philip and James is not living in my house and due to Sabastian Ogbonna Okechukvu Statement in the investigation letter that was given to me it was confirm that, he went to James apartment in the vicinity of Yasamal market situated in Yasamal district, Baku city together with Philip after they left the church on march 08.2009 and on march 08 Sabastin, Philip and James did not come to my house, and on march 09 2009 i was arrested.
    And due to the investigation and statement of Okvara Philip Namdi, he also confirmed that James invited him and Sabastin to his rented apartment in Baku city after he went out of the church on march 08.2009 but not my apartment, meaning James is not living in our apartment.
    And due to the Investigation and statement of Hajiverdiev Rufat Aghaverdi confirmed that the handbags was given to him by Sabastin and Philip at about 20:30 on march 08 2009 at the apartment, resided by Sabastin in Basti Baghirova street, Yasamal district, Baku city, and i have never been to this apartment and when Rufat went to this apartment to take bag, I am not there and in his investigation, he added that he even knew Peter, Davies, Valentine and also testified that i and my room mate were in close relation with James and James lived in our rented apartment in Nakhchivanski street, Nizami district, Baku city together with us in last times but i must confirm that this is not true, because i don’t know who is Rufat Hajiverdiev, Abdullaeva Ulviya Gudrat, Mammadli Tarlan Sabuhi, Mammadli Naida Salamudinova, Maharramli Samira Abbas, Safarov Rustam Gazanfar and up to date i don’t know how they look like.
    And due to each of them statement, that testified that they know me which i understand that it’s the work between them and the police with the investigator, to testify that they know me and they said James live in my house in last time, but i was arrested on the 9th of march 2009 and as at march 08 2009 in Sabastin and Philip statement was confirmed that James invited both of them to his rented apartment in the vicinity of Yasamal market on 08 of march 2009.
    So due to this Reason the investigation and criminal accusation charged against me were not confirmed and i should be released and compensate for keeping me under arrest on a crime i didn’t commit, they did not find heroin in my apartment and i did not know any thing about the heroin they found in Sabastin apartment and same thing about the bags that was given to Rufat. I am really innocent of the accusation against me.
    And since 9th of march i have been in prison suffering for a crime i did not commit and again suffering from tuberculosis disease, no treatment, no tablet, no clothes and no phone or other means of communication to contact my family about my arrest and to contact my doctor for tablet and still i was put in prison for a crime i did not commit.
    So due to this reason, i am not guilty, taking into account article 91 of the procedure criminal law of Azerbaijan Republic duties and rights have to be explained because i have no lawyer.

    Iam so disappointed with nigeria Government especialy the foreign minister, because nobody is even trying to push back or represent the country the way they are suppose to. The fact that America and the rest of the world are going to be regarding Nigeria as a terrorist country is mind blowing.Why isn’t anybody holding a press confrence to explain to the world that in the case of Abdul farouk, this is a kid that went to school outside country,Togo,Saudi London and YEMEN.This is a kid that has been brianwashed by muslim extremist outside Nigeria, this is a kid that his father reported to the authorities including the US Embassy in Nigeria. Who is going to make the case for innocent Nigerians? Who is going to speak for us? Who is going to stand up now for generation of Nigerians to come?

    @Frank Aifuwa, I note you asked many questions above, and I can say from where I stand the answer is clear – THERE IS NO ONE THERE TO DO THE RIGHT THING AS NIGERIA HAD A SICK LEADER FOR A WHILE BUT RIGHT NOW HAS NO LEADER. IT IS RIGHT NOW BEING TORN APART BY MOSTLY A BUNCH OF SEMI ILLETERATE IDIOTS WHO ARE SO CLUELESS ABOUT GOVERNANCE, BUT VERY CLUED TO THE ART OF STEALING AND WHEELING-DEALING. THEY WILL PAY ONE DAY FOR THIS CANNOT GO ON AND ON.
