It was rumoured sometime ago that the present governing party brought in Militias from Mali, S/ Leone,Others To Win 2015 Polls by Baraje.

That the US Govt, should place Nigeria’s Minister of Com­ms,Sheikh Isa Pantami on Terror watch-list for alleged ties with Boko Haram Leader should be disturbing.

What other evidence do we need to conclude that what Baraje said at that time was right ?
We must not always term everything politics even when the truth is being told.

If the minister is placed on US watch list for his links with Al-Qaeda, that justifies what we have been saying that some terrorrists are members of this government.

What I am waiting for is for Lai Mohammed to insult the US Government , which is what he knows how to do best .

This may be one reason why we have not been able to defeat insurgency and insecurity, if people like Isaac Pantami have links with Al-Qaeda and Boko Haram.

The greatest battle then is the fight from within.
It is time for Nigerians to take a “fearless energy drink” and face this government on various platforms.

How can the minister who has ties with terrorrist groups ,rocking Nigeria and the world be holding all our NIN in his hands and be walking freely as the minister of Digital Communications.
It is difficult to believe anything again from this government.

How can Nigerians entrust our BVN and NIN in the hands of someone collaborating with terrorrists.?

As director-General of the National Information Technological Development Agency,he has access to all our data.
A terrorrist with our data is very dangerous and unacceptable.

Because Nigerians hardly do a background check before electing and appointing people in various positions,is part of our dilemma as a nation.

If that was done,
we could have discovered that Isa Pantami was rusticated from the University years ago for his love for terrorism.

This is the same man disturbing Nigerians for NIN , may be so that he can supply more information to Boko Haram.Who knows?

To have a serving minister with ties to terrorrists, further damages the reputation of Nigeria .

Why is the Government not speaking up?
It is now more than 72 hours after the release of the US report.
How come Nigerian Newspapers are not reporting the news? Who and what are they afraid of.?

May be they are making a further research on how the US Watch list operates, especially when they themselves are denying access to ICC( International Criminal Court) to investigate the damage US Watch list has done to Palestine.

Remember that
Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan lamented then that Boko Haram Terrorrists have taken over his government .

Many people said that he was weak and clueless. Now we know who is weak and clueless.

This US damning report must not be swept under the carpet.Sheik Isa Pantami must resign immediately.

If found guilty of sabotaging BVN and NIN of Nigerians via his links with Al-Qaeda and Boko Haram Terrorrists ,then he must face the ICC.

It is very unfortunate that Nigerians forget so easily.We all should remember the fact that Boko Haram appointed the present President as their mediator before he became our President.

It is very unfortunate that some of the top Northern Politicians have links with Boko Haram.

Even President Buhari before he became President said…”An attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the North”.

Nasir El- Rufai said, “Anyone soldier or not that kills the Fulani takes a loan repayable one day no matter how long it takes”.

Isa Pantami,Sheik Gumi,Nasir El-Rufai etc are all apologetic to terorrism.

Unfortunately we have same the same in opposition.
The “P” in PDP is as useless as the “P” in Psychology.

Hindsight, APC would have stayed a mass protest, demanding that somebody like Sheik Isa Pantami be sacked.

Lai Mohammed would have invited all the news media houses and channels in Nigeria both print and electronic at least to make noise.
No opposition party in history can rival being completely useless like PDP.

As more facts keep emerging and more facts from the US Government established,
let Isa Pantami defend himself.
Here we are again.

I try as much as possible to take a leave from the issue of tribalism from ethnic Political Twitter group and the mess keeps drawing you back.We should stop these unhidden ethnic slurs in our communication.
Our division along ethnic lines has become so visible that it can slice butter under heat.

Calling unprintable names to each of the ethnic groups should not be allowed to be an official language of communication in this perilous time.

Rhetorics that stoke division along ethnic lines will continue to divide ourselves along such tribal lines.We may eventually fight ourselves to extinction when the time comes if nothing is done.

We have not learnt any lesson from Rwanda, Libya,Syria, and Yemen.What about the world wars.

Isreal never recovered from
“To your Tents O Israel” looking at their present population.

We should be wary of such posts on WhatsApp.The number of such hate languages and lies against one another circulated along tribal lines ,if you are constant online knows no bounds.

Many receive these messages and flow with them , thinking that they are defending their own ethnic group,all because it matches the screwed up narrative of ethnic biases against people from certain part of the nation.

When you think you have heard enough,then boom another ethnic post and hatred hits you even harder.There is so much Lamentations or condemnations.

There are volumes of such hate messages in circulation that is alarming.It is almost getting to the point that people are tempted to kill any man anywhere who doesn’t belong to their ethnic groups if the opportunity presents itself.Such people are privately arrested and detained and murdered in cold blood without people’s knowledge.

This makes the case for restructuring or peaceful dissolution in a more peaceful way very imperative.

Unfortunately ,those holding elective and selective posts in Nigeria keep fuelling ,increasing, raising the bar of “talk anyhowness” every day.

The unfolding events means that ,it is either all parts of the nation work together to make the whole work or split to make a ” part” work.

If we collectively, are no longer prepared to strive for a better Nigeria,then let us all , strive peacefully for a better ” part”.

May it not reach a stage where a poor man’s greeting would now be mistaken for begging.

Final word.
They are setting us all up for genocide.
This is not the time for emotional reactions.
USE YOUR HEAD.

George W.Bush asked then Chinese President,Hu Jintao what kept him up at night–Hu said ” finding jobs for Chinese School leavers and graduates.

In Nigeria,with a

42. 5% youth unemployment rate , Nigerian leaders,at all levels are sleeping soundly.

They are even looking for ways to increase it to at least 70%.
Seeing the youths suffering or people suffering is the blood that gives our leaders life.

The word “Nigeria leaders” stopped to exist after October 1960.

The present leaders are not only sleeping soundly,they are snoring .They pretend to sleep peacefully like Children while the nation is in distress.
But they shall wake up soon.

Unfortunately our youths by not reading and digging into history are playing into the hands of wicked leaders.

If you don’t know your history then you will not know where you are coming from and what you can do to brighten your future in the context of the governance and politics in Nigeria.

This is the weakness that our politicians are exploiting in today’s youth .They are hiding the history of Nigeria and thereby exploiting the ignorance of our youths.

They also know that most Nigerian youths don’t like to read unless for passing exams ,it is even affecting the adults.
If you want to hide any information from some Nigerians write it in long articles or messages, and put the important thing the kernel of the matter in the middle,you have gotten them.
They want it short short.
Unfortunately history is not short.

Nigerian youths love reading baseless things that they can gossip about.

If you tell them or give them historical facts ,what they should know,many of them remain inattentive.

Sensible historical facts don’t trend in Nigeria because those who should make them trend are the youths.
That is why it is easy for politicians to get away with their lies to them.

Some Nigerian youths love to follow musicians whose lyrics has no deep thought unlike our days.
They hardly listen to music that awaken their consciousness.
They are blind to the truth about Nigeria because they read not and they grow not in the knowledge of the politics of Nigeria before and from independence.

Just open a US,UK or a Western based trends on anything including politics and compare it with a Nigeria based trend and see the difference.

A lot of these youths on internet hardly comprehend intelligently what they are into, politically in the Nation

The vast amount of knowledge you see on foreign trends and threads are always topical and inspired.
You can learn about different things including the political evolution in their nations backed with facts and links.
But here in our nation you get abuses and madness.

Because of lack of research and reading by some of our youths, the quality of conversations and comments remain intellectually low especially on political issues.
They are hardly deep.Some can even get angry about the truth in ignorance.

Though some Nigerians are well read and knowledgeable
but they hardly articulate their thoughts politically.
Therefore the politicians hardly take them seriously.
Part of the reason they had no arrowhead or leader or leaders during the last protest.

Many of them prefer to listen to those who make the loudest noise even when they know nothing about the intrigues of Nigerian politics.

Some may tell you that the ones who ‘read” are silenced politically ,there is little to what the “righteous” can do in this country.
This is exactly the expectation of Nigerian politicians.

That is why it is always alarming seeing the number of youths who want to participate at the BBN every year.

The worst is even the fans of (Wizkid and Davido) trolling and debating who is the best as if they are in campaign fields.I have never seen such a stupid thing .

This foolishness is alarming and very high on Instagram.
Atimes I feel like weeping for our youths.

How can a Nigerian youth be using Android phones , spending all the time online and will still be asking stupid questions that have all the answers in his or her hand.

Nawaooo.

BREAKING NEWS.

Prince Philip,the Duke of Edinburgh, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, father of Prince Charles and patriach of a turbulent royal family that he sought to ensure would not be Britain’s last ,died on Friday at Windsor Castle in England.He was 99 and very close to his 100.A few months short of his 100th birthday .

Every person has their faults or prejudices,he wasn’t a perfect.But he stayed in his lane.

One thing that cannot be taken away from him is that he was a man who dedicated his life to service and to his country.

My thoughts are with the Queen,his children, and their grandchildren.

The company that is organizing an influence campaign for an international criminal is also working on an electronic voting project for Nigeria’s 2023 general election.

This company is in the same bed with Omojuwa and El Rufai.

The same company owned by Omojuwa is among those promoting Yahaya Bello for 2023.

This same Omojuwa was also paid to take down Ngozi Okonji-Iweala.
The level of effort he put without evidence to take down that woman is unmatched till today if you have been on Twitter.

But nemesis is catching up with them before 2023.
Listen to this;

Omojuwa busted for landing lucrative PR contract from suspected Colombian money launderer
Japheth Omojuwa quickly saw an avenue to make money from the stand-off, coordinating a campaign of himself and other Nigerian social media influencers.

Omojuwa and Saab
Nigerian social media contractor Japheth Omojuwa has been exposed as a top recruiter in a media campaign seeking the release of a Colombian citizen charged with money laundering.

Alpha Reach, a public relations firm run by Mr Omojuwa, reportedly paid Nigerian influencers and mercantile journalists to drive the campaign for public sympathy as Alex Saab’s case got underway in Cape Verde and ECOWAS Court Headquarters in Abuja, Buzzfeed said in an explosive report published last night. 

Mr Saab was arrested and detained for alleged corruption by Interpol and security operatives on a U.S. arrest warrant in Cape Verde during a stopover to refuel while travelling from Venezuela to Iran in June 2020.

The kingpin, an ally of the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, was identified as the country’s diplomat on a “humanitarian mission” to Iran, and is fighting an extradition order to the U.S. 

Mr Omojuwa quickly saw an avenue to make money from the stand-off, coordinating a campaign of himself and other Nigerian social media influencers that sought to trend hashtags against the extradition of Mr Saab to the U.S., Buzzfeed found.

Earlier this week, Twitter suspended over 1500 accounts linked to the campaign, including those of popular influencers like Pamilerin Adegoke, for receiving payments to tweet about the Colombian citizen who is currently under house arrest in Cape Verde.

Restrictions on many of those accounts have now been lifted, and Mr Omojuwa did not appear to have been suspended at all. 

“Engaging in platform manipulation — regardless of the intent — is a violation of the Twitter Rules. This includes gaming hashtags, artificially boosting content, or paying for fake engagement,” Twitter said in a message to Peoples Gazette. “As a result of these behaviours, we’ve suspended more than 1,500 accounts associated with these hashtags and our investigations continue,” the company said.

Buzzfeed said influencers and three Nigerian journalists were paid for the trending hashtags to influence public opinion and court proceedings in Nigeria and Cape Verde. The Gazette had previously reported that some Nigerian media outlets were paid as part of the image laundering arrangement and some of them had started taking down the links after Twitter’s measures became public. 

Some of the influencers were said to have received Saab campaign briefings in January, according to a document produced on the letterhead of Digital Good Governance for Africa (DIGA), a UK-based nonprofit led by Nigerian Naji Makarem.

The document was said to have outlined a social media push that would recruit influencers in Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal to tweet in support of the kingpin, twice a week as the campaign was expected to run from January 18 to February 18.

“The influencer is expected to use the hashtags #FreeAlexSaab and tag prominent Nigerians, Ghanaians and Sengalese handles from government, business, celebrities, activists, etc. which will be provided to the influencer,” the five-page document read in part.

It instructed influencers to engage with replies to their posts about Saab and to tag the @wakandanomics Twitter account if they needed additional information.

The tweets gained traction in March as the ECOWAS Court ruled that Mr Saab should not be extradited to the U.S. The case continues in Cape Verde, however, and the country’s highest court ruled for the extradition process to continue.

The Gazette has seen the DIGA working document and several Nigerian media outlets, journalists, development experts and influencers were involved.

The report said 40 Nigerian influencers were recruited to participate by Mr Omojuwa’s Alpha Reach.

Mr Omojuwa told BuzzFeed that he was contacted by “a friend in the UK” to participate, but he declined on the basis of his “strong relationship” with the US Embassy in Nigeria. He did not elaborate on the nature of his relationship with the U.S. 

“I said to this person in confidence that I support the mission and would be happy to retweet a couple of articles, but I would not personally be part of it,” he said while admitting that it was “possible” employees at his firm worked on it.

“I don’t think I can start to have a conversation about whether Alpha is involved. If they are, there have definitely been some form of nondisclosure [agreements],” Omojuwa said.

BuzzFeed, however, said its findings rubbished Mr Omojuwa’s claims, noting that two Nigerian influencers who pleaded to be anonymous claimed that Alpha Reach staffers paid them to launder Mr Saab’s image for between $6.50 to $15.

“What was mentioned was that [people] would be monitoring accounts participating for retweets and amplification,” the influencer said.

A recent report published by Financial Times citing an intelligence report said the government of Venezuela was accused of contracting social media influencers on Twitter to warn Cape Verde against extraditing Mr Saab to the U.S.

Anyone that was active on Twitter from 2012 will tell you without exaggerating that Omojuwa is the brand ambassador of hate and toxicity.This is what Omojuwa is doing to the politics and image of Nigeria.
Between 2011-2015. Omojuwa as an influencer is the most vile and demonic human being marauding this earth , collecting both from angels and demons to shape and influence public opinion.

To be continued.

The new development in Nigeria’s Politics that you just might be able to register online as a voter in Nigeria,without waiting for the usual election season rush.I understand INEC plans to create a portal for that. So the Continuous Voter registration(CVR)
can now actually be “continuous”

I will dance to this new development if it truly commences.
We pray that it shall be sustainable when it begins.

But it should not have been announced until the portal is ready.

This may be a great legacy for the INEC Chairman and a big boost to Nigerian democracy.

We also pray that there are no undertones to it.
We should make sure we distinguish Nigerians as we register online to figure out for instance Ghanaians,Cameroonians,Chadians etc.

The NIN should be a requirement to register.All existing PVCs should also be linked to our NIN before the end of 2022.

Can we ever have a future President who can stop this practice of medical tourism?

Garba Shehu, presidential spokesperson, says President Muhammadu Buhari’s current trip to the United Kingdom is not for medical tourism.

Speaking on Tuesday when he featured on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme, Shehu said the president has maintained a relationship with his doctors in the UK for over 30 years.

On Monday, Femi Adesina, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, had said Buhari will leave the country on Tuesday for a “routine” medical trip to London.

Buhari is expected back in the country in the second week of April.

It has become normal, neither is it the first time a Nigerian President is traveling out of Nigeria for medical check-up.

President Obasanjo did it,President Yaradua did it , President Goodluck Jonathan did it.
Governor’s, Ministers, Senators, Local government Chairman all travel out for medical check-up.This is the Nigerian style which we hardly hear from other nations ,
except maybe some nations in Africa.

This is not the first time the president will embark on a medical trip, since he assumed office in 2015.

In 2017, the president spent over 150 days in the UK, treating an undisclosed ailment, while in May 2018, he returned to the UK for four days to see his doctor.

Everyone of those mentioned always promise to end foreign medical tourism while campaigning.

People are complaining because they promised to make the health sector better if elected.

Speaking on the development, Shehu said the decision of the president to embark on the medical trip is “wise and quite correct”, adding that it doesn’t speak well for Buhari to change his doctors every year because of distance.

“I think that, unfortunately, there is the misconception of the president’s trip, seen in the context of medical tourism,” he said.

“President Buhari is not a medical tourist — if somebody has kept retainership with medical experts; we are talking about 30 years and plus.

“Each year, they view you and examine you and give you a pass and advise you on what to do. Would you, given this position, be changing your doctors every other year, because there is a chance the distance will be shortened?

“I think the president is wise and quite correct in his decision that he retains consistently the set of doctors who have ensured good health for himself.”

He added that the president is “taking advantage of the Easter season to just go and check up.

The point is that Shehu and Adesina will always , and ignorantly too, defend their principal.But how do they think they can confuse us with the English they don’t fully understand again , knowing the stuff they are made of before joining this Government.

“He has been a medical tourist for 30 years”
,so what!!.They can go to any length and depth to cover what cannot be covered.
How can they be contradicting themselves?. Especially Shehu Garba who keeps goofing every now and then. “The President is not a medical tourist…he has retained UK doctors for 30 years”

The honest truth is that no one can comfortably defend this government without acting and sounding stupid. Otherwise,how can full grown men, seasoned journalists, attempt to redefine what medical tourism is, in order for people to accept their boss’s cluelessness and wastage of taxpayers money.?

It is so bad that some people were waiting for him to stumble while climbing the aircraft staircase like President Joe Biden (POTUS) did sometime ago.
It is as bad as that.
Thank God they were all disappointed.

We still want him alive to finish his tenure.
It wasn’t easy for the country when we lost one of the Presidents on medical tourism years ago.
One of them ,who remains part of our problems, was making imaginary phone calls to ghost Nations and hospitals, to convince Nigerians, that the late President was alive.
We don’t want a repeat.We may not survive the issue of who takes over,based on the present situation and bad blood among zones or political groups in Nigeria.

But there is no point budgeting millions of naira for the clinic in Aso Rock every year.

The President himself particularly campaigned and condemned medical tourism saying that it was going to be a a thing of the past with a vow.

He vehemently condemned past administrations.
He ended up abandoning that good intention.

Methinks that these Presidents should have,
in the worst case scenario,
have built a special clinic for themselves and notch it up to any standard they wanted.I know that suffering Nigerians won’t mind.

May be they don’t want Nigerians to know their health issues ,
which may possibly leak and become another issue altogether.
May be, may be,may be.

But why can’t the present President learn the present lesson on Covid19 and improve our health care system?
It seems that Covid19 didn’t teach him any lesson.? Even all normal and abnormal Presidents learnt one lesson or the other during this pandemic.
Why is our own always different?

Well,I am looking forward to the day the hospitals in Nigeria shall be good enough to have our Presidents do their routine check-up here and there.

The situation makes me remember
“Bob Marley’s song “Waiting in Vain”.

But until that happens,
or we have such a President,
we are all in the hands of God the Mighty Healer my brothers and sisters.

“Pastor Oby Ezekwesili, you served me legal notice publicly,so I was left with no choice but serve you publicly too.

Please I won’t react to unwarranted provocation from you, your sons and allies .You betrayed my loyalty,service and respect for you, for reasons I don’t understand”

Omojuwa posted a four page document showing how a team was formed prior to 2015 to achieve clandestine political purposes for their benefits.It was as early as 2012.Madam Oby and El- Rufai formed a league using Omojuwa.

Madam Oby hoped to become minister should Buhari win and El-Rufai Governor.

Omojuwa appears to have been used by them for their personal propaganda which he confirmed in his four page document.

He insisted that Oby was in with APC, different from what we were meant to believe by her.He was supposed to have been made a minister if Buhari wins.

He released this bestseller on Madam Oby.
It was something like madam”if you push this matter too much I go shout plenteooo”.
He seems determined to come up with thunder and lightening.We are waiting.

“When I said aunty Oby was used and dumped, I knew what I was saying, Madam
Oby was alright with anything, anything at all, that could bring down the former Government.

So I will not absolve her from complicity. She knows more than she is telling us.

One thing to observe from Omojuwa is that he is insisting that Madam Oby used him to fight proxy wars and percieved enemies.

That he was used by her and Mallam El-Rufai to bring up lies against Jonathan even though she said that she is a Christian.

Now he(Omojuwa) is a MAN now!!
The monster child is now metastatized .
He is now running the entire breathe of Nigeria unchecked on Twitter.
An e-political thug looking for the highest bidder.

Fast forward 2021,Hadiza Bala Usman got her NPA job,courtsey of El-Rufai, Mallam El-Rufai became Governor and Madam Oby Ezekwesili got nothing.

El-Rufai achieved his dream and Madam Oby Ezekwesili lost out.Therefore AIpha Reach was purposely created to bring down GEJ.

In Omojuwa’s letter to Madam Oby where it said,”our client is ready to use every piece of information at his disposal to defend himself and his future against your client’s ungodly allegations”that seems to be a not too subtle threat that Omojuwa knows something incriminating that he is not afraid .

If Madam Oby Ezekwesili is serious about this issue,she knows what to do.All the letters as far as am concerned,they are all banters.

Anyone who has been on TwitterNg since 2009 knows that Omojuwa and Madam Oby Ezekwesili were very close when the Alpha Reach was registered,and that must have been possibly why he made her a director.

But she decided to throw the young man under the bus to perform for Twitter.He has to sort himself out.He is now fighting back with what he knows best.He is not pretending to be a saint but a normal human being.

Basically, Madam Oby Ezekwesili is bitter and transferring her aggression on Omojuwa because she wasn’t and will never be appointed by the APC government .

Madam Oby Ezekwesili said she is suing Omojuwa for listing her as director of Alpha Reach Limited without her consent.
We are waiting.

President Buhari can still save the situation by offering Madam Oby Ezekwesili a ministerial position.Abii.

Now I can understand her anger.She felt abandoned after everything.

Some of us believed that Omojuwa forged Madam Oby Ezekwesili’s signature and made her director without her consent based on what we know about her,but the present development has raised doubts about her public rating.

Well , Omojuwa has become so vile and determined to say so much,but he has not told us what he was also promised.

This Omojuwa’s come back is good for drama and possible violence as we approach 2023.

But let Omojuwa tell us how he got Madam Oby Ezekwesili’s details to put her as director in that company.May be because they were close and almost besties at that .Let him put the records straight.

What a lesson for all as we approach 2023.He should further tell us how he got supporting documents and signature.

Until he brings the documented evidence that Oby Ezekwesili agreed to be a director in the company ,I keep my fingers crossed.

For me ,the four page long text is just to tell us that you and madam used to be cool and you did her favours .
Maybe something that looks like blackmail.
But you can prove me wrong.
The more you look in our nation,the less you see.

I feel no pity for people like Madam Oby Ezekwesili,So I won’t absolve her from complicity in Omojuwa’s AIpha Reach Saga.

She was a willing tool used by Hadiza Bala Usman’s BBOG who was in El-Rufai camp.She is now enjoying her NPA lucrative job. Nawaooo.

Unfortunately, from the day Madam Oby Ezekwesili decided to roll with El-Rufai was the moment her being true to herself and all that she stands for became doubtful

It’s very difficult for me to see through again from all the big grammar.
I don’t feel bad because that is what Madam Oby Ezekwesili deserves and all those who worked together to bring Nigeria to what we are today shall all be exposed.
They shall all be messed up as they have messed up Nigeria.
” If you lie down with dogs ,you will get up with flies”.

As the saga continues, what it shows us is that some of our Twitter influencers are E-POLITICAL thugs, used by politicians and not only the Agberos on the streets.

We can only watch and pray for a good selection before election come 2023 .
We know that God loves Nigeria, Twitter or no Twitter.

TINUBU: alpha Beta
OMOJUWA: alpha Reach.

Listening to Ahmed Bola Tinubu yesterday,who coincidentally is my age mate ,giving his lecture during his colloquium in Kano to mark his 69th birthday,my thinking is that, every Nigerian has become a Leah Sharibu in the eyes of our political class.She has been held hostage by some terrorrists( by whatever name) for years now ,where she doesn’t have any control of her future again.

We have found ourselves in the same situation in the hands of our politicians, where they think that we can no longer control our future.

Listen to Ahmed Tinubu’s well researched thoughts on,

(1)INSECURITY:
“Recruit 50 million Nigerian youths and send them to Sambisa forest,because Nigeria is competing with bandits to recruit unemployed youths—Tinubu
ON MARCH 30, 2021.”

This is the NATIONAL Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, the ruling party.
He disclosed that the country is competing with bandits to recruit unemployed youths.

You may be tempted to ask him,how many of those to be recruited should be expected from his immediate family.

Listen to him,

(2) YORUBA AND FULANI ARE UNITED.

He explained his choice of Kano State as the venue for his 12th colloquium and 69th birthday, saying it was to prove to Nigerians that the Yoruba and Fulani people are united.

Can you see how the issue of ethnicity is being fuelled by these prominent politicians.
Out of over 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria,he has made his choice on which one to associate with politically for the soul of the Nigerian nation.

His words: “Why are we in Kano for this colloquium? Why?It is because there is a Fulani man, a herder man, who gave out his daughter to the family of a Yoruba man. Dan Fulani, Dan Yoruba. And some people are agitating wrongly and I say if a colleague can encourage and support me to go and spend a couple of days with my brother and in-law in Kano and demonstrate that he has not quarreled with me and has not seceded from Nigeria.

This is over to the Yorubas for their response.

Coincidentally we are age mates,
I never heard Chief Obafemi Awolowo say so before his death,even in his books.

Listen to Tinubu again.
“I don’t need a passport or visa to get to Kano, so maybe others would have peace of conscience and live in peace and harmony. That is what Ganduje and I are representing to show to Nigerians. And that is the purpose of the colloquium.

“The Fulani man and Yoruba man can show the entire nation that perseverance, great understanding is common blood that is flowing in our veins.

Listen to Tinubu’s solution for unemployment.

‘“It is time, we are under policed and we are competing with armed robbers and bandits to recruit from the youths who are unemployed.There are 33 per cent unemployed.

Recruit 50 million youths into the army and various security agencies. Take them away from their recruitment source. What they would eat is growing here, you create demand and consumption.

Please ask Ahmed Tinubu ,how many of them shall come from his immediate family?

Listen to Tinubu,“Don’t talk about illiteracy, anybody who can own a gun, cock gun and can shoot is technically competent to repair a tractor in the farm. It is not when you are computer literate that you can be technically competent. Those who are working on sugar cane farms can do so many other things like horticulture.
We can create the jobs.”

Please ask Ahmed Tinubu how many of his children can do what he expects other people’s children to do?.
Yet he desperately wants to rule Nigeria.

Listen to our Professor-politician during the colloquium.

Professor Osibanjo went further to say that Nigerians will need Visa to visit Kano if Nigeria breaks.What a depth of thought.
Now I know that he has never been a politician.
Please return to the pulpit after repentance.

Honestly speaking, are they trying to use the issue of Visa to blackmail Nigerians?

Methinks that if the Vice President has started talking about this repeatedly,it signals unease at the very top.
Why not do something that can stop the slide.?

Dear Prof,
the issue is not the dangers or the inconvenience of breaking up,it is the benefit of staying together that people are questioning .

There is still room for dialogue which the Government has refused to allow the people of Nigeria do.By so doing, they are fuelling the demand for the breakup of the contraption called Nigeria.

Whether people want to go to Kano or not,if Nigeria breaks, is a personal choice and decision.

I want to tell you that some people may prefer traveling to Afghanistan,Syria, Sudan than Kano.

Besides ,under ECOWAS (passport) protocol,those who are interested in going to Kano won’t need a visa .
Our Professor should know better.

Prof. should be told that ,in any case of breakup,the borders may not be as porous or open as it is again for any terrorrist jihad, terorrism or false kidnapping.

But what I know is that when Nigeria breaks up,there would be healthy competition among the nations as neighboring countries.
We are not praying for that.
But we have to be very very careful.

But if it happens,you can then build your Kano and allow others to develop their Ikot Ekpene,Aba, Agbor , Agbara,Ore and Ngor-Okpala.

For me,I want to let them know that , I have not finished enjoying my “ofe Owerri , Nkwobi, Ugba no Okporoko” before thinking of applying for visa to Kano to eat……. Nonsense.

AM VERY VERY SAD .

Jack (Twitter owner), suspended most of our favorite Nigerian influencers.

Unknowingly to those influencers, Alex Saab they were fighting for on Twitter,is the villain of the story.

It is not every job you must take, not every hashtag you must trend. Sometimes ask questions.A little research would save you from suspension.

These influencers were twitting about this criminal,that Cape Verde should free him.

Ignorance made them not to research on what he did and why he was arrested.
This is a criminal wanted in the US for fraud and they were campaigning that he should be freed on Twitter after some payment.

Twitter had to suspend the accounts promoting the hashtag.

When Nigeria influencers begin to campaign for dubious characters who are positioning themselves for 2023, promoting and projecting them as potential candidates for the presidency,the greed of such influencers is no different from the greedy and dubious politicians themselves.

This is how they have been feeding the nation with such messages and cooked images of terrible candidates, with lots of baggages and cobwebs in their cupboards, that we can hardly get the right candidates in any election.

Many of their personalities are polished ,baked and cooked on Twitter, and served to Nigerians as delicious after pocketing lump sum.

Atimes I am tempted to say that some Nigerian youths especially those on Twitter would do worse than these politicians if given the opportunity.
Thank God it is not all.

They haven’t been given the power,
but they are expressing oppressive tendencies on Twitter.

Many of them have an already compromised mentality,that is why even to promote ordinary screams mean money to them.

Rich politicians are cashing and capitalizing on such Twitter advantages not known to the ordinary Nigerians on the streets to always be ahead of others.

The number of greedy youths on Twitter in this business outweigh the patriotic ones.
Social media has made everything worse,that you have to “fake it till you make it”.

The pressure to be successful or look successful is so much that they can hardly resist the temptation ,
even if they are paid to promote an armed robber for the presidency of Nigeria come 2023.

I sympathize with those suspended by Jack.I know that it is of a huge financial loss for them .

Some are basically living well daily on Twitter.Therefore,taking their livelihood away after they had gotten to that level on Twitter to earn huge income as influencers can be really challenging in the times we live.

Especially those that have put almost all their energy on this app.

But for those influencers who didn’t fall into the trap of suspension , please save us from creating and influencing Nigerians to back any terrible candidate in 2023.
We have had enough.

Inasmuch as my activities on Twitter may not warrant suspension as it is totally , specially specifically focused on health matters and other relevant issues,
I sympathize with them.

Fellow Nigerians,that Pastor Yemi Osinbajo was still with IGP Adamu in Imo State, when the news filtered in; that the former IGP has been sacked should be annoying.

It is damn saddening that the vice president (Osinbajo) should hear or only saw the news online, like most of us did.

De Facto President Malami, doesn’t hide it anymore.The situation is really becoming very interesting .

He left Abuja with the Inspector General of police and was now returning back with him retired.He wasn’t aware that the IG will be sacked.These games are being played live in front of us.

How he is always played out baffles and marvels honest Nigerians.He remains silent.

I should also think that he is part of his own problem.

Listen to him;
“I was sad to see the level of violence at the correctional facility in Imo State.
The path of violence can only lead to disaster.It is easy to take peace for granted but we need not learn the value of peace through the horrible cruicible of war.”

I am personally shocked that the Vice President is talking about taking peace for granted as if he is just knowing that ,as the second in command in this Government.

He calls the gunmen who attacked Imo prison command “cowards”.

SE had cried against military checkpoints, extortion and killings and you remain silent.

RCCG members were kidnapped by Fulani herdsmen, you remain silent.There was an attempted assassination of the Governor of Benue state (Ortom) and you kept silent among others.

Malami appointed new IGP, and you are now the one who swore him in.Haba!.

Well those who pay your bills are dictating what you should do.Initially I thought you had some influence ,now I know better.

I know that the duties of a Vice President are assigned by the president.So,there are no constitutional roles, unless that which in your case the President assigns.

In your case, paying condolences, sharing Tradermoni during elections and inaugurations.Is that all?

Well, the level of criminality in the South East may be worse and you should know it.
But marvelling about the level of criminality that started just 2 months ago sounds hypocritical.

What about the criminality that has been going on for over five years all over the nation.With herdsmen having a field day.

Is there any comparison in the death tolls?
Please be objective .Stop analysing the situation through the prism of emotions or BMC.

Because of your seemingly irrelevance in this Government,I want to let you know that after 6 years of your presence as the V.P,
people are still finding it difficult to spell your name.

Please I want to appeal to Nigerians, who are finding that very difficult,that the name of the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is Prof.Yemi Osinbajo not Osibanjo.

N before B,not N after A
N before B,not N after A
N before B,not N after A.

I know that after your tenure in 2023, as Pastor, you are going to spill a lot of things (beans) and do restitution.
What will the nonsense do and how will the nonsense help us then.?
Spill it now!!

For all patriotic citizens, Osinbajo’s humiliation is our humiliation and his powerlessness is our collective emasculation.
