Governing the Ungovernable

By Vitalis Chi. Nwaenri

In this second Book, I am proposing new ways to advance Nigerias Governance from the current level that many people view as Ungovernable to a more Governable level . In this regard I am proposing to my fellow Economists to consider what I call a Holistic Planning Strategy that embraces such issues as Religious, Family and Tribal conflicts rather than be limited to their usual traditional narrow views on economics . Furthermore, I tried to reflect in these Books my own personal views and experience on what I described as Christian Democratic System of Governance. My reason for this reflection is to enlighten non-Christians and Atheists in our midst, to understand the merits of Christian perspectives in Secular Governance . My aim is also to enlighten non- Christians before the 2015 election, on the justification for maintaining God at the center of our Nigerian Governance rather than follow Satans temptation to drive God out of our lives and Governance .This temptation is succeeding in many advanced nations in the world. Many of them had banned praying in public functions or calling on Gods name.
Finally, I call on Nigerians to join the Catholic Community across the nation to pray for our country in distress.

About The Author

Vitalis Chidomere Nwaneri, brings to these two Books, his experience in Religion, Economics, Politics, Science and Philosophy, and exposure in various advanced and developing countries across the globe. He acquired his experience from the Graduate School of The London School of Economics and Political Science, University of London (1962-1968). He joined the United Kingdom Government after his graduation and quickly rose to the position of an Economic Adviser by !970. He left the Government in 1971 to join the World Bank in Washington D.C. U.S.A. He worked there till 1980 and rose to the position of a Senior Economist. At the World Bank, he traveled extensively across the globe and gained exposure and firsthand experience on some of the major Political, Economic and Social Development problems of the world. He saw how the secular authorities battle with Religious and Philosophical issues in some countries in Asia, Middle East, Africa, Europe and America. These experience and exposure had inspired his military perspectives of our global challenges of peace and good governance. He reflects on these challenges in his analysis in these six books.

Back in Nigeria in 1980, he became one of the country’s pioneers in Indigenous Banking and the Establishment of the First African Commodity Exchange. During his twenty years in Nigeria (1980-2000), he embarked on the audacious mission of bringing his global exposure and experience to contribute to the development of Nigeria’s Finance and Private sectors to enable them lead its National Development. His Book on MISSION 2000 highlights his audacious proposals for the future development of the country in the new century. His Proposals also reflected his experience as a Consultant for the Nigerian Government, The World Bank, African Development Bank and The U.S.A.I.D. His pioneering projects in Nigeria’s Banking and Trade sectors exposed him to the weakness of Nigeria’s Politics and Governance. So he decided to take a shot at Nigerian Politics.

There he learned much of the confrontation with the evils of corruption and bad governance, all of which he had seen through his World Bank tasks in the developing countries across the world. His experience in Nigeria frustrated his shot at Politics and his pioneer projects on Indigenous Merchant (Investment) Banking and Commodity and Futures Exchange in the country.

Vita, (as his friends call him) provides in these Books his own Confessions like St. Augustine. He showed how God had always turned all his failures into good according to His Will. He stated that this is also true of world history. He attributes his frustrations in Nigeria to Satan’s Bad Governance in Nigeria and other countries of the world. Bad governance is one of its most vicious weapons against man and God. Vita highlights this in his analysis of the war fronts between Secularism and Christianity. The war has been going on since God mandated Adam to keep and rule the world as its Secular and Priestly Head. Through its temptation, Satan destroyed the Perfect world given to Adam and Eve. This launched our war with Satan. Vita surveys the history of the war with Satan in his Book One based on the Old and New Testaments. He observed that God has a way of turning some of Satan’s attacks to good results. With respect to the war with the enemy, Vita showed that throughout the Old Testament the enemy fought to stop God’s Plan of salvation through His Son Jesus. One could see Jesus clearly hidden in all the accounts of the battles in the Old Testament. Consider the story of Isaac being offered for sacrifice in the Book of Genesis, the serpent lifted up to cure the sinful Jews in the Book of Exodus, Joseph being sold by his brothers only to end up saving them from death and Moses leading his people through the desert just as Christ is leading us through our deserts in this world.

Ultimately, God turned Satan’s attacks on His Son to the greatest good of all, salvation of Man.

Another good secular example is the establishment of the United Nations system. The institution rose from the enemy’s attacks through its agents like Hitler in the second world war. Since then The U.N. had been a major force in stopping further satanic attacks like the one in the second world war.

Back to the USA in 2002, he continued to contribute to Africa’s Development efforts along with his other Professional Associates through their Organization of African Professionals and Associates in the Diaspora (OAPAD Inc.), incorporated in the State of Maryland where he lives.

Vita had written several books on Nigeria’s Economic and Trade Issues as well as Articles in the London School of Economics Journal of Transport Economics, the World Bank and IMF Journal of Finance and Development, Newspapers and Magazines published in Nigeria (see References in Book One).

Above all his efforts, he has been a devout Catholic since his birth in the Eastern Igboland of Nigeria 70 years ago. As indicated in several chapters of his Books, his main mission in these Books is to contribute to the New Evangelization launched recently by Pope Benedict XVI when he established the Pontifical Council on The New Evangelization (PCNE). The Pope called on all lay and ordained members of the Catholic Church to join hands to contribute to the success of the Council. These Books are Vita’s response to the Pope’s call.

Vita shares the Pope’s concerns over the gradual deterioration in the level of world peace and Christianity.

Vita attributes this to the Enemy’s increasing attacks, crises and wars. Satan uses intellectuals in Religion, Politics, Economics and Science to launch its war between Secularity and Religion. He concludes that these wars result from the Temptations in our hearts by the devil. These Temptations brew the war in our hearts from which they emerge to the surface as crises. He quoted the statement Christ that what kills us emerge from our hearts and minds. These are the evils of greed, hate, envy, corrupted use of power, wealth and sexuality.

The world needs to be reminded of these facts. It seems to have forgotten that its real enemy is Satan and its evil spirits and that these are indeed behind man’s crises, attacks and wars. This real enemy makes us go around blaming ourselves for all our crises.

Accordingly, Vita makes several audacious Recommendations that call on Christian and Secular leaders across the globe to consider joining hands in promoting the Pope’s PCNE. On the local levels, Vita calls on local Parishes of the Catholic Church to consider setting local Warriors he calls, The Knights of The Cross Warriors—K of X, to promote world peace. Members of The K of X will launch new fronts of the war with the enemy from the family to the national levels. They will fight against the enemy from the homes to offices, Churches to Parliaments, through the Streets and Business Markets, with the Television, Radios and Internets, by foot, cars, ships and airplanes. They will be guided by the commands of Christ to Love even our enemies, wash the feet of those we serve, pray for those who persecute us, turn the other cheek to those who slap us and forgive those who offend us seventy seven times because they know not what they do as Christ prayed on the Cross. Only the enemy, Satan knows what it is doing. It is indeed the master of Lies, Deceptions and Confusion across the world. In Books Two and Three, Vita calls on the world to reflect on its roots and find that Christ established Pillars that had sustained our modern civilization and Governance, justice, peace, human rights, equality and progress for all. Only through Prayer and His weapons in the Church can we fight a spiritual enemy.

VITA now lives with his family in Maryland U.S.A. from where he wrote these four Books.

Foreword

I provide in this Foreword, my own testimony on Vita’s courage and audacious commitment to contribute to advancing Nigeria’s Governance. Nigeria’s declining trend in Governance has been a great source of concern to all of us who love our country and desire her peace, unity and progress. Such progress, as Vita affirms in the first of these two Books, cannot be attained without enhancing the level of Unity in Nigeria’s Diversity. Nor can it be attained without enhancing her state of Governance. Most people would indeed agree that Nigeria’s present state is Ungovernable because of the depth of corruption in the country. In this Book, Vita has the courage and audacity to stand up and identify most of these corruptions and propose actions to be taken to tackle them through our planning process. He also shows an audacity to propose a new Holistic Method of Planning that
