The ECOSOC Meetings 30 June – 11 July has ended. In the days ahead we
will know whether or not the Final Push series of Posts had Positive Influence
on the many that read from the US, UK and across the World. We will also know
if it had any Influence on the ongoing World Bank Development, WDR 2014 Massive
Open Online Course, MOOC – Participants, Course Staff, WDR 2014 Team and World
Bank Group, WBG Executive Management and Governing Council.
Almost 300 Young Girls were kidnapped by Boko Haram on 15 April 2014. The
Nigeria Security Agencies – Army, Air Force, State Security Service, National
Intelligence Agency, Police struggled in the first few weeks to free the Girls
without success.
Many across Nigeria, Africa, Europe, North America and World – including
First Lady Mitchell Obama raised their Bring Back our Girls Voices that touched
the Heart of World Leaders to set up a Global Coalition of Security Agencies to
strengthen the Nigeria Security Agencies. Many including this writer thought
wrongly, given benefit of hindsight, that in less than two weeks from the Global
Coalition of Security Agencies being on the ground in Nigeria, our Girls would
be Free.
Today, 88 Days after our Girls – Young Girls woken up in their School Dormitory
by Night at a period when they were writing O Level Final Exams (their Education
– MDG Goal, that has been truncated take the back burner for now) are not only
still in captivity but Boko Haram, their Captors has unleashed even more deadly
attacks in more parts of Nigeria, killing even more people, destroying even
more lives and kidnapping even more women. Whyyyyy????
As in the WDR MOOC Game, it is time for the Global Stakeholders – State Actors
and Non State Actors to Review Progress. This calls for Sober Reflection
against the background of this Final Push to achieve MDGs’ by 2015 and agree a
Post 2015 Development Agenda – Young Girls are out there in the Wilderness in
harsh weather conditions, yet a Global Coalition of Security Agencies, after
several weeks being on the ground in Nigeria, with access to a range of
sophisticated military and security equipment, have FAILED to FREE our Girls. This
is No Longer SHAME on the Nigeria Authorities Alone, it is SHAME on World
Leaders, whether part of the Global Coalition of Security Agencies working to
free our Girls or not.
If WDR 2014 MOOC Participants are to get Value for Time Invested that
help to better Organize, Orientate and Discipline them to Gain more
Competencies in the work towards helping to achieve increasing convergence
between World Bank New Risk Management Vision Intention and Reality in their
Family, Community, Institution, Government, Region and our World, should they
not participate in real life Risk Management Solutions for the Release of our
Girls, in the shortest time possible, that help remove the Shame of Nigeria Leaders
and World Leaders?
Is Corruption – in Nigeria and Worldwide, not one of the MAJOR reasons the
Global Coalition of Security Agencies has been unable to Free our Girls since
they arrived to strengthen the Nigeria Security Agencies in the work to free
Chibok Girls? Should work to Free Chibok Girls not shift Focus to simultaneously
help Fight Corruption in Nigeria and World? Yes Nigeria is Top on List of Bribe
Takers. Is US and UK not Top on List of Bribe Givers? Can there be Bribe Takers
if there are no Bribe Givers? Is Distress in US Local Governments; State
Governments and National Government not due to US Political Corruption, Economic
Corruption and Social Corruption? Is World Bank Group not Aiding Corruption in
Nigeria?
The World Delay or deny Correct Answers to Corruption Root problems in
Nigeria, Africa, UK, Europe, US and World at the Risk of Peril of our Fragile
Planet. The longer fundamental issues we have consistently raised from Week 1
to date and beyond are ignored by WBG Leaders and World Leaders, the closer our
World slide to Catastrophe, and the more grievous and more costly in lives and property, Boko Haram, Al Qaeda and other
Terrorists attacks will be. This is avoidable!!!
The Best thing that can happen Moving Forward, is for the Global and
National Movement to Bring Back our Girls to quickly Shift Focus away from
EMPTY Shouting and Meaningless Protests whose Result is More Deadly Attacks
from Boko Haram and Shift Focus towards helping to find sustainable solutions
to Root Problems of World Terrorism and World Corruption, that is Shift Focus towards Overhaul of
National and International, Security, Policing, Aid Apparatus and Risk
Management Systems in all Developed and Developing Countries in our World today
that are clearly in a State of Decay (Difference is in the Degree by Country’s
National and International Systems) on one hand and helping to achieve MDG
Goals 1 and 8 in the few months remaining to end 2015 – Halfing Hunger and
Poverty and Establishing Global Partnerships for True Development on the other hand.
Book Haram has SHAMED US President Obama, UK Prime Minister Cameron,
French President Hollanders, Nigeria President Jonathan and other Presidents
that have contributed to the Global Coalition of Security Agencies to Free
Chibok Girls. The Global and National Movement to Bring Back our Girls need to
ask themselves a SIMPLE Question, why is it the Case that World Leaders through
Global Coalition of Security Agencies with all the Sophisticated Military and
Non Military Resources available to them Have FAILED to Free our Girls up till
now? Honest answer to this IMPORTANT Question will shed Light on Urgent Need to
Shift Focus of the Global and National Movement to Bring Back our Girls as
suggested above.
The ongoing WDR MOOC will be EMPTY Academic Exercise, if it does not
come up with practical solutions that the Global and National Movement to Bring
Back our Girls and the Global Coalition of Security Agencies could Deploy
thorough Adoption / Adaptation within the World Bank New Risk Management Vision
and ECOSOC Final Push to achieve MDGs’ by 2015 and the work towards agreeing Post 2015 Development
Agenda.
First Lady Mitchell Obama, Former World Bank Vice President for Africa
and Former Nigeria Minister Oby Ezekwesili; other Mothers, Fathers, Grandmothers,
Grandfathers, Nigerians and Non Nigerians - within and outside Nigeria, who genuinely desire that our Girls
be Free and in Record time, need to JOINTLY help the Global and National Movement to
Bring Back our Girls and the Global Coalition of Security Agencies, to Face New
Direction and Adopt New Priorities, if our Girls are to be Freed Alive, if they
are not to Suffer in Vain and if those that have died are not to have died in
Vain.
Our Girls NEED CHAMPIONS that could Move in the Suggested Direction –
will First Lady Mitchell Obama, Oby Ezekwesili, others take up the gauntlet and
ACCEPT to CHAMPION this Redirection? Can these Champions Speak to the World on Day 90 to announce this Redirection? The Biggest Traffic to the Blog is from US - Do these US Citizens know that it is in the enlightened US Self Interest to support First Lady Mitchell Obama to be one of the Chief Champions of this Redirection?
Also, WBG really need to Wake Up and make up its mind to determine if
this WDR 2014 MOOC Overarching Aim is to teach the type of New Risk Management
Intervention it is interested in or to teach the type of New Risk Management
Intervention in the interest of Sustainable Solutions to real and Complex Root
problems within current and Post 2015 Development Agenda in all Developed
Countries, Developing Countries and International Institutions in our World
today.
Should WBG by its Actions and In-Actions Choose the former, by all means
let this MOOC continue with Business as Usual. However, should WBG Choose the
later, then this MOOC needs to move forward with Business Unusual. To DO this,
the Course Staff – Kyla, other Instructors, Technical Staff that have
interacted with Participants thus far; Course Staff that are in the Back Room
and Engine Room; other WDR 2014 Team Members – particularly those in WBG
Executive Management; other WBG Executive Management and Governing Council need
to ACCEPT that they – Individually and Collectively NEED Help of Professionals
like Lanre and Institutions like International Society for Poverty Elimination
/ Economic Alliance Group.
As in the WDR MOOC Game, Research / Evidence has shown that Time is
Running out to Build Protection and make Connections in the 2 Weeks remaining
to the end of the Course, if WBG is to Effectively and Efficiently Pilot its
New Risk Management Vision to avoid or survive without Damage from inevitable
HIT, this helping to achieve increasing convergence between Current and Post
2015 Development Agenda Goals and Targets Intention and Reality.
More IMPORTANTLY our Young Girls have SUFFERED Enough. Let the World
Arise to TACKLE the Root Problems of World Terrorism and World Corruption as
One and let us see if our World will not be a Happy, Healthy and Holy Place to
live, work and raise children. Let the World Arise as One to ensure that our
Girls do not Suffer in Vain and all who have died in the hands of Boho Haram
and other Terrorists in Nigeria and Worldwide do not Die in Vain.
