Preambles: For the past 25 years His Excellency Prince
Frank Onaivi Ukonga has been advocating the applications of functional
constructive engagements & dialogues as credible alternatives of conflict
resolutions on a global basis. In 1992 Prince Frank Onaivi Ukonga published the
award winning Liberian list book-’The Seething World- Reparations for the Black
Race- A functional Approach’- and in this great book that is been used by prestigious
Ivy league universities of the world in the topic of Race Relations and conflict
resolution as well as invaluable to policy makers in all continents of the
world – Prince Frank Ukonga proffer alternative stratagems of conflict
resolutions on regional and international standard practice as a novae enlightenment
to reinvent Mankind of the 21st century to embrace peaceful dialogue as
against warfare approach to conflict resolution. The thesis of Prince Frank Ukonga
are based on the following protocols:
Protocols of conflict
resolutions: Here the Prince identifies that above all things there must be the
following protocols for a functional workable solution to the resolutions of conflicts,
divided in to four main Protocols:
Protocol One: Acknowledgments:
In the book ‘The seething world’ Prince Frank Ukonga identified that before any National or Regional
conflict dialogue there is the imperative to agree that there is a conflict and
all the premises of the conflicts identified, itemized and acknowledged in
chronological order of importance. This the Prince wrote is the fundamental
aspect of concentration by those that would be assembled by the committee set
up to organize the dialogue and this in the book occupied one full chapter
titled : The ACKNOWLEGEMENT.
IMPORTANT POINT in
acknowledgment section of conflict resolution: Though in the Nigeria case
study the few elite appears to have hijacked the entire aspects of nation
building and pushed the masses to subservient position and the fear is that the
elite may be pushing for elitist based dialogue of power and who governs the
country which by careful observations are not the real problems of the Nigerian
masses nor of Nigeria and sub Saharan Africa. Even the revenue sharing formula,
devolution of power etc, are not the genuine problems of the majority of
Nigerians and Africans.
The genuine topical
issues for dialogue in the Nigerian Dialogue forum; The real problems that
most intelligentsia would like to see discussed are the crucial issues of
Redundancies, joblessness, epileptic electricity generation and distribution,
the development of the steel industry as a strong fundamental platform for the
Nigerian rapid industrial revolution, the improvement of the Agricultural
sector, the new push of industrialization and the dead real sector of the
economy, the security issue, the Almanjiri issue where Nigeria has over 15
million nation of youth uneducated as street urchins and this is a real time
boob, the issue of Area boys of more
than 10 million strong lads walking the streets aimlessly, the endemic poverty,
scavenging ,international prostitution of our male and female genders, the
pandemic of AIDS, Malaria, and other diseases, the collapsing health sector, the
collapsing education sector, Brain drain as all our best are checking out in
droves, the improvement of the diplomatic missions, the removal of fuel subsidy to free the country from questionable
claims and rip off, the endemic corruption and how to improve accountability
and public probity, arm robbery, kidnapping, militancy, arms proliferation, the
empowerment of the youth , women , invalids and disable as the most vulnerable
aspects of the society, the incessant plane crash and auto accidents, which is
due to poor infrastructures like roads, airports etal, strengthening of all our
institutions from democratic institutions, to defense, police, customs, immigrations and population censuses
for proper planning, marriage and culture institutions, general national
discipline, anti corruption institution etc, proper management of the economy,
fiscal discipline and budget implementations, looting of public and private
treasuries, the astronomical cost of
governance, unbearable legislative expenses, dividend of democracy reaching the
masses through Local Government Autonomy
, the issue of housing and homelessness, hunger, lack of good hospitals, drugs,
drinking water, poor transport network system, environmental degradation ,flood,
drought, deforestation, infrastructural development, declining access to
regional and international developmental finances, Huge states and govt debt
portfolio, collapsing stock exchange of speculators, fire brigade central
banking policy thrust etc. these are the real issues that the common citizens
want to discuss but then the fear is that the elite and politicians will hijack
the National dialogue and begin to discuss on issues of who governs, which sector
of the country should rule etc and this will derail the entire dialogue to another
meaningless meander in time. But if the committee set up for the dialogue work
hard this could be curtailed.
Protocol TWO: The Dialogue: This is the most crucial
aspects of conflict resolution and the dialogue has to be guided by a set of
rules. Depending on the nature of the conflict there May be some gray areas
that could be no go areas of discuss but all these has to be agreed upon by the
committee for the good of all participating delegates. How the delegates are chosen
should follow universal adult suffrage or perhaps through appointed
representatives but the delegates must have the mandate of their respective
communities. The dialogue should be well moderated so as not to be given a different
rendition from the rational kernel of pursuit of truth, justice and peace among
the communities..but note that these are the adaptations of the Frank Ukonga
theories to a native, primordial,
seething developing country like Nigeria bugged down by deontological
superstitions and fears, -as the book – ‘The Seething World’ delved further
into other aspects of conflict resolution
of Racial bias and here His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga, exploited more
options of the aspects of the theories
of – “The games Without Rules “,Methods of “Chiron the Centurion”, La Place theories of function of Functions [Differentials
and integrals], theories of Leibniz,
theories of partial fractions ,theories of fragment and fragmentation, logics,
Binoli Advance theories of complex numbers, set theories, Huygens theories of
material propagation, Albert Einstein
theories of relativity, Prof. Awojobi’s theories of descriptive geometry of
comparative time, space and speed, inertia systems, systems analysis, Gorge
Soro’s theories of reflexivility, theories of Scientology, ancient and medieval
philosophy & concepts, and the Prince, ventured further into the field of artificial intelligence of
advance complexities which are novae
inventions he called UFO Sciences etc-All the theories of Prince Frank Ukonga
are scientific and empirical though most
of the theories are too
advanced for the Nigerian Case study.
Otherwise the dialogue will come up with a document on the
possible agreement imputed by all the participating parties as well as
vexations and suggested solutions by participating parties for subsequent
study.
Protocol Three: The
APOLOGY: This was also a full chapter in the book of Prince Frank Ukonga
exposing all forms of apologies there be and could be but most importantly,
apology is expected to be accompanied by some form of dividends from the
dialogue which should be immediate so as to pacify frail nerves. Apology can also
be in the form of mutual agreements of horse trading but certainly are supposed
to be verbal as well.
Protocol Four: Restitution / Reparations; This is also
a full chapter in the celebrated book of His Excellency Prince Frank Onaivi
Ukonga- The Agreements of the dialogue would be subjected to further scrutiny
by perhaps the House of Assembly as in the case of representative democracy or
perhaps another appointed committee to Ascertain the claims and the
geopolitical consequences of the demand on the overall policy trust of the
state and subsequent white paper would be published. This would be ratified by
the President and commander in chief of the state which will then be signed into
an enabling document for subsequent action which in most cases should be the
consideration of the aggrieved parties for compensation either monetary or
perhaps advantages.
Conclusions; Note
that a National dialogue is different from a National conference. A National dialogue is the extension of the
goodwill of the presidency to the people governed to have the opportunity to
interact as in Truth and Reconciliation summit to air their views and iron out
their differences like a modern Town Hall Meeting given larger interpretations.
But on the contrary a National Conference transcend these noble ideals of
fostering brotherhood to pertains to other areas of discuss of restructuring
the fundamental relations among the colligating fragments of the whole and such
a conference by experience has a double edge sword of being high jacked by the
hawks into derailments as in the Case of Soviet Union, Yugoslavia etc. Whence
this is a clarion call to the organizers to limit the scope of the dialogue to
relevant issues that will unite the polity and not on those that will put
wedges on the frail, gregarious and fragile anxieties of the polity.
We wish the Presidency, the committee members and all the
delegates a happy discussion session.
Long live Edo State of Nigeria, Long Live Federal Republic
of Nigeria
