Sowore, IPOB, And The Naked Beating Of Ekweremadu

By SKC Ogbonnia

August 22, 2019

 

The naked beating of Senator Ike Ekweremadu in Germany evokes painful lessons, particularly with Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) and, of course, the continued detention of the frontline anti-corruption advocate and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore.

 

First, the sympathy generated from the Ekweremadu beating has to do with the fact that the specious victim is a prominent member of the Nigerian political elite. Such type of public flogging is usually reserved for the ordinary Nigerians, especially if they dare go close to their leaders. The German incident also marked the first time a major suspect in looting of Nigerian treasury is manhandled like a petty thief. That explains why the powerful politicians—from both sides of the isle—are united in mourning, while millions of the masses are jubilating as if Nigeria has suddenly won the world cup.

 

Second, the unfortunate incident is a dog whistle that the foreign land is no longer a safe haven for Nigerian corrupt leaders and their families. Hopefully, the protest may turn out a blessing in disguise. Nigeria will be better served the day her political class shows trust in the country’s social amenities, especially the schools; hospitals; and tourism, including new yam festival.   

 

Third, and very significant, the nature of the beating on Ekweremadu shows that the Nigerian masses, particularly the Igbo youths, are gradually recognizing their true problems and true enemies. In short, the IPOB might have finally shattered Ekweremadu’s balloon of fake popularity, sustained by a cocktail of ceaseless montage of paid propaganda, cascade of mass deceit, and a vicious army of highly educated and well-paid toadies. The IPOB might as well grasp the reality that the Biafran problem is Biafran made. The objective fact is that our people who have held power in Nigeria’s 4th Republic in the Biafran area—from local government, the states, federal to President Goodluck Jonathan—were not the Hausa-Fulani. The world is also learning that Ekweremadu’s Enugu West Senatorial district has been home to the worst set of road networks in Nigeria throughout his fifth tenure in the senate. These include the most-deadly trio of Enugu/Onitsha, Enugu/PH, and Awgu/Oji-River highways, which has only served as money-spinners for the area politicians through series of funded but abandoned contracts. 

 

Fifth, the angst expressed in Germany by IPOB is nothing but a page from the anticorruption vision of the revolution that brought President Muhammadu Buhari to democratic power. Therefore, besides the lack of development in the East and Ekweremadu’s apparent duplicity in the proscription of IPOB, it is an open secret that my senator is crudely corrupt. This is a man who mas a mere charge-n-bail lawyer before entering politics in 1999 but would shamelessly admit an overnight ownership of over 31 choice properties around the world without real job. Yet, since disgraced out of his ambition to remain a lifetime Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu has been globetrotting, celebrating failure with fake yam festivals while millions of fellow Igbo youths are subjected to abject poverty and despair, home and abroad. Enough!

 

As I noted in the piece, “Buhari And Nnamdi Kanu Fighting The Wrong Enemies”, the whole IPOB saga is misconstrued. What must no longer escape the minds of patriotic Nigerians is that an original aim of Radio Biafra, before its vision was sabotaged by Igbo politicians, was to uproot “all looters, embezzlers, kidnappers, sponsors of terrorism, child traffickers, corrupt judges, crooked university lecturers, murderous Nigerian security forces and all thieving individuals masquerading as public officials who steal public funds thereby preventing developmental projects from impacting positively on the lives of the ordinary people.”  That sounded more like Muhammadu Buhari speaking before he gained power in 2015. Therefore, though physical assault must be strongly discouraged, the grievances against Ekweremadu are profoundly justified. You cannot beat a child and expect him not to cry at the same time. Moreover, my readers will by next week learn hard facts on how the senator actually owes IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu, not the other way around.

 

 

Fourth, and very instructively, the Ekweremadu experience is a wake-up call that the continued detention of Omoleye Sowore is a time bomb. Of course, the senator representing me is not the only corrupt politician flaunting his wealth and influence at the expense of the masses. Consider, for instance, the latest quagmire where Godswill Akpabio, a former governor of Akwa Ibom, who is a facing trial for stealing N108 billion from state treasury, is suddenly made the boss of Festus Keyamo, a celebrated human rights lawyer, who was the prosecutor in the same case. Combine the irony with the situation where Timipre Sylva, a former governor of Bayelsa state, who was found guilty under the President Jonathan for corrupt acquisition of 48 choice properties, now holds sway at the Ministry of Petroleum, the mainstay of the nation’s life.

 

This pattern under President Buhari is unimaginable and definitively unbearable. This is precisely why Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB refers to Nigeria as a zoo. The daring degree of impunity is why a foremost patriot and First Lady, Aisha Buhari, once wondered, “where are the men of Nigeria? Where are the Nigerian men? What are you doing? Instead of them to come together and fight them, they kept visiting them one after the other, licking their shoes.”  The growing impunity accounts for why Nigerian men descended on Ekweremadu, a permanent fixture in the gross misrule of Nigeria in the 4^th Republic. Of course, the jarring injustice in Nigeria is the sole raison d'être for the peaceful nationwide protest being led by Sowore, a field marshal in the 2015 revolution that toppled Jonathan and brought General Buhari to power. That is perfectly why #RevolutionNow enjoys support from broad sections of Nigeria, home and abroad.

 

As patriot and, of course, one of the most rabid supporters of Buhari from 1984, I truly want him to be the best president. But he must do the needful. The time has come for dialogue instead of seeing every critic or protest as coup d’etat. And charity begins at home. The president might as well embrace the vision of his United Nations address in 2017, where he preached dialogue over war in the case of North Korea. In Buhari’s words, “In all these crises, the primary victims are the people, the most vulnerable being women and children.”  Thusly, his style of beckoning trouble from all fronts is a recipe for disaster. The latest attempt to label Nnamdi Kanu and Sowore as coup plotters is not only a maddening malfeasance, the continued detention of Sowore is equally a brazen nonfeasance.

 

President Buhari must rise beyond sheer dogmatism and admit that the state is truly falling apart. He ought to be able to discern that, unlike the case of IPOB where the Igbo leaders, including Ekweremadu, have been dreadfully deceitful; the crème de la crème of the Yoruba intelligentsia is boldly behind Omoyele Sowore. Only a poon ignores the potential consequences of the heavily funded but regional IPOB, with a worldwide membership, fusing with a broad-based national outfit like #RevolutionNow. It will not be surprising, however, if this appeal is ignored; after all, “the primary victims are the people, the most vulnerable being women and children.”

Why Ekweremadu Belongs to Hall of Shame (I)

By SKC Ogbonnia                                               

August 27, 2019.

 

The recent protest in Germany in which Former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, was harassed, chased around, subdued, and beaten naked like a palace pickpocket brought big shame to Nigeria, and the senator must own full blame. Even a novice could have discerned that the popularity of the #RevolutionNow, led by Omoyele Sowore, shows that the Nigerian masses are not fools and will not endure abject injustice forever. They are gradually recognizing their true problems and real enemies. The masses are keenly aware that Ekweremadu has been a recurring decimal in the gross misrule of the country in the 4^th Republic, particularly in the South-East zone. 

 

A fifth-term term senator, Mr. Ike Ekweremadu is a malignant narcissist masked by a boy-scout persona, yet any dig into his record readily exhumes mess and miasma to boot. He has only managed to sustain power through fake popularity, buoyed by a montage of propaganda, mass deceit, political bribery and brigandage and, of course, a vicious army of well-educated and well-paid bootlickers, made possible by an overflowing wealth accumulated without sweat. I must admit that I was once gullible to the propaganda and consequently became one of Ekweremadu’s biggest boosters.  

 

The trust dramatically waned after I penned him a letter following the election of 2011. Since he was the political leader of the South-East to the centre, I specified important projects in the zone that could mold his name into gold, namely, Enugu Airport; Enugu/Port-Harcourt, Enugu/Onitsha, and Onitsha/Owerri highways; 2^nd River Niger Bridge; and an additional Igbo state. I am yet to recover from the shock I felt when Senator Ekweremadu thundered back, suggesting that I was an ingrate. To him, instead of worrying about public projects, I should be grateful for life that he hired my brother as his adviser, supported my cousin’s election to the Federal House, and graded the pavement leading into my country home. But Ekweremadu forgot that we both must first pass through the roads plied by the masses before striding into our mansions. Lo and behold, yet very unfortunately, the senator would lose his beloved brother, Chukwuemeka, to motor accident caused by potholes on the same Enugu/PH highway on December 23, 2012. This experience contributed to my piece, “Every Nigerian Blood Is On The Line”

 

The last straw took place in 2013 at Houston, Texas. I had organized a meeting between Ekweremadu and the leaders of Igbo Peoples’ Congress while he was in the city on the invitation of Greater Awgu Leadership Forum (GALF). When confronted about why he had not shown up at the Igbo meeting, he retorted that the size of the crowd was not large enough to deserve his presence, and he never showed up. Ekweremadu’ apparent insult on the Igbo made me furious, obviously, but that is nothing compared to what follows.

 

A night before the aborted Igbo meeting, the senator was kind to have presented the Awgu people copies of a fat pamphlet, titled “Accomplishments & Constituency Projects Attracted by His Excellency Senator Ike Ekweremadu, CFR”. Interestingly, the number one on the list (S/N. 1) was a library he claimed to have attracted in the year 2009 to my town, Ugbo, under MDGs Quickwin. I quickly called the town union to inquire about the library and other projects on the list—only to find out that no such things existed and still do not exist. I made similar inquiries around the constituency and other parts of South-East where projects were supposedly attracted. I received similar result—phantom. Even in some cases with traces of such projects, they were uncompleted and totally abandoned. After his tawdry refusal to explain the contradictions, I made my findings public.

 

Since then, I have been a marked man. He not only unleashed a global campaign of calumny against my person and businesses, he is on record to have threatened my life. I will never wish my worst enemy the most immoral sight of Ike Ekweremadu laughing and jeering, while my dear mother, a septuagenarian, knelt in full glare of a national TV, appealing to the senator not to hurt her son—for daring to question his representative in government. The date was December 27, 2013. As if that lacked in folly, Ekweremadu commanded his toadies in the district, including some “autonomous” royal fathers, such as Igwe Lawrence Chime of Ugbonabor and Igwe Jerome Okeke of Ngene Ugbo to publicly denounce me for daring to oppose their Excellency.

 

This last election season, obviously rattled that my presidential bid could inspire opposition in the constituency and threaten his ageless grip on the people, Ekweremadu sponsored his aides to tear down my posters around Enugu State. They even had the audacity to invade my country home on August 10, 2018, beating up my campaign officials, as well as some family members. It took the timely intervention of Ugbo youths to avert counterattack and bloodshed. Of course, I alerted the senator and some relevant authorities in the state. Besides the President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Nnia Nwodo; and Ogbuagu Anikwe, the spokesman of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who registered strong displeasure; Ike Ekweremadu never apologized nor condemned the thuggery. But this pattern of do-or-die, remember, is how he has sustained power.

 

The bigger problem, however, is that no part of the South-East has seen any tangible development the 12 years Ekweremadu held the power. Today, the only major public attraction in his entire local government is his mansion at Mpu, being one of his 32 choice properties currently under criminal investigation. Today, the three major roads that traverse his constituency, namely, Enugu-Onitsha, Enugu-PH, and Awgu-Oji-River highways are among the ten worst highways in the country. Today, most major projects in Igboland have only been good for election propaganda and money-spinning by the area politicians through series of funded but abandoned contracts. Needless to mention that the Part II of this essay will demonstrate how Ekweremadu used and dumped the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) for his personal interest.

 

Ekweremadu’s imprint at the national level does not need to be retold here. Consider, for instance, his ignorable role as a ringleader in the third-term plot to derail our democracy and elongate Obasanjo’s tenure. Combine the subversive act with the fact that Ekweremadu was one of the brains behind the jumbo salary for Senators, as well as the Constituency Project scheme, which has cost the country trillions without any meaningful project to show. Further, despite being palm handed N10 billion under President Jonathan to influence the amendment of the Constitution towards restructuring, including the additional states and local governments, the only result Nigerians have seen are tales after tales.

 

It is clear the grievances against Ekweremadu by IPOB are profoundly justified. But physical assault must be condemned as well. Petitions, picketing, booing, jeering, and heckling are proper. In fact, the nature of the German protest remains at risk of turning Ekweremadu, the villain, into a victim. Notice how he quickly resorted back to his familiar mélange of propaganda and profligacy upon arrival in Nigeria, shamelessly chartering aircrafts, renting ever-ready crowds, and portraying himself as a hero—for being disgraced on his plot to remain Deputy Senate President for life and later flogged naked at a fake New Yam Festival in faraway Germany, while his direct constituency is under siege by terror herdsmen.

 

The Nigerian masses, particularly the Igbo, have suffered massive neglect the last 12 years Ike Ekweremadu held sway as the de facto Senate President. But the senator is not alone. The Diaspora Nigerians should, therefore, unite and quickly initiate a Hall of SHAME where the likes of Ike Ekweremadu deserve a permanent place. Yes, it portends a crime against the humanity to continue to allow Nigerian corrupt leaders to enjoy freedom in foreign lands if they cannot guarantee freedom for the masses in their homeland.

How Ekweremadu Used And Abused IPOB

By SKC Ogbonnia

September 4, 2019

 

The current Biafran struggle has meant different things to different people. For former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, it appears more of a specious opportunity to exploit the Biafran masses—for selfish interest, motivated by blind ambition for power and primitive accumulation of wealth. The result has been blackmail, political persecution, loss of many innocent lives and, by consequence, the protest in Nuremberg, Germany, where the senator was flogged naked. But these developments should not have come as a surprise, particularly to the principal actors, namely, Ekweremadu, Nnamdi Kanu, and Muhammadu Buhari.  

 

In a 2015 piece, “How PDP And APC Created New Biafran Agitations”, I narrated how the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), having squandered the huge oil boom, “had nothing on the ground for the Igbo masses and thus needed to sustain mass following by deceit.” I added that a perilous perfidy deployed by the Igbo PDP caucus--under the leadership of Ekweremadu--to prevent the restless Igbo youths from revolt was that a support for President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 was an automatic Igbo presidency in 2019. In fact, the baloney was the sole message conveyed from Jonathan to us at the World Igbo Congress convention in Houston in 2014, through Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu and Senator Hope Uzodinma.

 

Nyesom Wike, then a governorship candidate, took the gambit to the extreme when he threatened secession, if PDP were to lose the 2015 election. Hear him: "I will lead a war against them (Nigeria) like Ojukwu. Am not joking, I know am on air, and I am warning them now… In fact, we from the South-South and South-East we remain in PDP. We leave the South-West and North to run APC. That is how they tactically shared the Country.”

 

Thus, the Buhari’s victory in the 2015 election was read as a coup d’état in the East, particularly among the jobless youths, who thence answered the call for a Biafran Republic. Yet, the call would not have gained much currency and sympathy, if President Buhari of All Progressive Congress (APC) did not declare vendetta against the Biafran area for voting against him in the said election.

 

The biggest beneficiary of the Biafran agitation thus far has been Ike Ekweremadu. Upon conniving with Senator Bukola Saraki to snatch the post of Deputy Senate President from the ruling APC, Ekweremadu knew he was in for trouble, big trouble. And President Buhari went after the Igbo senator and Saraki, the Senate President, like tornado, including outright charges for forgery and corruption. The only strong defense the duo had at their disposal was to whip up the ethnic sentiment; and the Igbo saw an opportunity for revenge against Buhari.

 

Ekweremadu suddenly became an Igbo totem. Every Igbo group began to sing Ekweremadu or nothing at all—as if some how the region witnessed any tangible development the previous 8 years the senator was the de facto Senate president while his party was in power.

 

Yet, the fiercest opposition to Buhari or, rather, the strongest support of Ekweremadu and Saraki came from Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), led by Nnamdi Kanu. Though Kanu would be arrested and detained, President Buhari knew to backpedal on Ekweremadu or risk a serious revolt from the South-East and the South-South zones. In short, Ekweremadu and Saraki would have been jailed by 2016, if not for a stout opposition from the IPOB organization worldwide. Said differently, Nnamdi Kanu might have sacrificed his freedom and the lives of many Biafran activists, so that Ike Ekweremadu could remain as the Deputy Senate President under Buhari.

 

It is true that Ekweremadu provided support to the IPOB before and after Kanu’s detention, quite alright, including a portion of the bail money, but his support was utterly selfish and dreadfully deceitful. This approach provoked the eminent economist and former Governor of Central Bank, Chukwuma Soludo, to use the occasion of the launching of the book, “The Politics of Biafra: And the Future of Nigeria”, to admonish such politicians exploiting IPOB for selfish interest to recognize that the Biafran activists “are no fools.”

 

The duplicity of politicians in the saga compelled me to pen: “Biafra And Corruption: When A Judas Becomes A Muhammad.” I was able to highlight how the corrupt hawks from the South-East and South-South zones exploit the fact that the Muslim North, which currently holds power, typically appears willing to turn an evil bearer of ‘One Nigeria’ into a saint. I detailed how such Southern leaders, who harbored dream for national leadership, suddenly abandoned the Biafran agitators they helped to create, and started singing a different tune. I noted the unholy subterfuge in which Governor Wike not only renamed Rivers State Stadium after Gowon, but also his dramatic handshake across the Northwest through the Sokoto Caliphate. More relatively, I demonstrated how Ekweremadu, after consolidating power as the political leader of the entire Biafran area, betrayed and dumped the IPOB on the altar of political opportunism. That Judas piece was published August 16, 2017.

 

One month after the exposé, September 17, 2017, to be exact, Chief Ekweremadu and the South-East governors met at Enugu, leading to the proscription of IPOB. The sheer shenanigans have led to maiming and killing of innocent Biafran activists, gross political persecution, and mass exodus of youths from the East to anywhere but Nigeria—Nuremberg not excluded.

 

The popularity of the public protest against Ekweremadu has shown that the Nigerian masses and IPOB have gotten wiser. As Buhari’s Minister of Transport, Chibuike Amaechi, would say, “If you see a thief and you allow him to be stealing, what have you done? You have stoned nobody; that is why we are stealing.” And I say, where there are no consequences for bad behavior, the bad behavior usually worsens.

 

But it does not appear that Ike Ekweremadu has gotten the message. Since returning to Nigeria after “Nuremberg”, the senator has had the audacity to resort back to his familiar mélange of propaganda and prodigality. Mr. Ekweremadu has been celebrating failure, deploying tax-payer’s money into chartering private aircrafts, and renting gullible crowds—crowds, who have done nothing but hail the whited sepulcher, while heaping abuse on the tireless masses of the Diaspora community, particularly the IPOB. This is impunity gone too far!

 

Be that as it may, the gist of my January 2017 piece, “Buhari and Nnamdi Kanu Fighting the Wrong Enemy”, remains profoundly instructive. Both Buhari and Kanu ought to unite and focus on the common enemy, being the Biafran politicians who colluded with contractors to loot development projects in region. Instead of seeing every dissent as terrorism or treason, Buhari should embrace dialogue, switch back his anti-corruption toga, and key into the current wave of worldwide revolution targeted against the looters of our commonwealth.

Asiwaju Tinubu, Where Is Comrade Sowore?

By SKC Ogbonnia

September 18, 2019

 

It has been over 45 days since a presidential candidate in Nigeria’s 2019 election, Omoyele Sowore, has been detained without bail by state agents; and one would have thought that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), could learn from recent events and begin to toe the path of honour in his pursuit for more power.  

 

In the piece, “I Pity Tinubu”, where I had berated President Muhammadu Buhari during his first  tenure for alienating the former Lagos Governor, I asserted that, “if dynamic opposition is the life-wire of a democracy, it is very fitting then to name him (Tinubu) the saviour of Nigeria’s current democratic journey.” Yet, the history of that journey would be incomplete without a defining chapter on Omoyele Sowore.

 

Backed by his revolutionary newspaper, Sahara Reporters, Sowore was a key component in the vanguard of the opposition movement that not only catapulted Tinubu to the helm, but also instrumental in gaining power in 2015. Sahara Reporters became a daily testament for transparency in government. Such activities contributed in no small measure to how the corrupt leadership under the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) was exposed. That is squarely how the APC became the ruling party. It is on that platter that Bola Tinubu became its National Leader, even though he is neither the president nor the chairman of the party.

 

Today, the Asiwaju might have emerged as the shrewdest politician in the Nigerian history. Today, having dictated the content and the character of the current government, including the leadership of the ruling party, and both the executive and the legislative arms of power, Tinubu’s faculty foresees the North under his palm. Today, with such unprecedented influence, the current optics is that the man even dictates who is intimidated, investigated or arrested, as his political foes are being hounded with an interesting sense of urgency. Today, believing that he has successfully humbled those from the East with a farrago of sectional politics and primordial prejudice, the emerging spectacle is that former Lagos State governor is now zeroing in on potential opponents in the West towards the 2023 presidential race.    

 

So, Asiwaju Tinubu, where is Comrade Sowore?

 

Make no mistake, any grudge from Tinubu against Sowore is superficially understandable. Though they worked together in 2015 against the common enemy in the gross misrule under PDP, quite alright, Sowore has always seen Tinubu as the godfather of the corrupt cabal stifling progress in South-West Nigeria in recent times. Therefore, even if Tinubu—the alpha and omega of the ruling party—has no hands in the travails of the publisher of Sahara Reporters, his stoic silence suggests a clear acquiescence, and naked duplicity to boot.

 

Moreover, to who much is given, much is expected. Tinubu can learn from the popularity of recent protest in Nuremberg, Germany, where the Eastern youths unleashed their anger on Senator Ike Ekweremadu. While the former Deputy Senate president was neither the governor of the entire East nor the only politician involved in the gross exploitation of the region, the Eastern youths saw him as their leader and thus as deserving a share of the burden of failure in leadership. It is only normal, therefore, that the Western youths are craving for bold leadership from their titanic Asiwaju in the current predicament where their promising and courageous Comrade is being detained with trumped-up charges.  

 

As I elaborated in an earlier essay: “Sowore And Revolution: As Buhari Forgets Why And How He Became President”, the very rhetoric, in which Omeyele Sowore is being hounded today, is a page from the opposition movement that brought APC to power. In short, the history has shown that both Tinubu and Buhari had effused worse revolutionary themes in their path to power, yet they were never arrested by past governments for the freedom of speech.

 

This growing pattern of injustice, as well as hypocrisy, in Buhari’s democratic regime, explains the necessity of #RevolutionNow. The Nigerian masses are worried that power struggles in Nigeria are merely to replace existing leaders with their opponents, whose attitude in governance would not be different from those of their predecessors. The Asiwaju must also come to terms with the reality that the Yoruba intelligentsia is understandably irate that a party it helped to gain power on the mantra of equity, probity, and integrity has become the grand promoter of injustice.

 

Bola Tinubu better knows to toe the path of honor in his quest for more power. He should know not to ignore the sophistication of South-West politics. The Yoruba did not defend June 12^th because of the person, MKO Abiola, nor vote for APC in 2015 because of the man, Buhari. The common cause was justice. It was Abiola yesterday; it is Sowore today; and it can be any one tomorrow.

Onumah: Yes, All Nigerians Have Become Biafrans

By SKC Ogbonnia

October 9, 2019.

 

The recent harassment or detention of human rights activist, Dr. Chido Onumah, by state agents is not only a sign that Nigeria is drifting towards full-blown dictatorship, the incident also goes to expose the hypocrisy of Nigerian leaders. Onumah’s crime, according to the state agents, is that he was wearing a t-shirt with the inscription: "WE ARE ALL BIAFRANS", being the tittle of his best-selling book.  

 

In the book, Onumah analyzed the myriad of challenges facing Nigeria, to posit that “the different manifestation of Biafra may well be a metaphor and, to that extent, we are all Biafrans as long as we seek to confront the clear and present danger.” The book, of course, had been launched since 2016 in the open, with former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, and a number of government officials gleefully in attendance.

 

Therefore, Onumah’s ordeal is nothing but a growing sense of intolerance or, rather, what Wole Soyinka referred to as an “unprecedented level of paranoia” being witnessed in the current regime, while he was condemning the unwarranted detention of another activist, the Nigeria’s foremost anti-corruption crusader, Omoyele Sowore.

 

Biafra re-emerged as a hot topic since a group from the eastern section of Nigeria, under the aegis of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), heightened its demand for freedom from Nigeria, not long after Muhammadu Buhari assumed democratic power. Central to their grouse is a history of bad leadership in the Africa’s most naturally endowed nation. Instead of dialogue, as in the case of other recent insurgents in the country, the Buhari regime not only clamped down on the Biafran activists with brute force, it also branded them “terrorists.”

 

Interestingly, however, as Onumah had long professed, all Nigerians have become Biafrans, by consequence. This view is consistent with an ardent admonition by the venerable Balarabe Musa, which holds that the perennial tendency to ignore the social challenges in the Biafran area is tantamount to ignoring the Nigerian future. Today, most of the problems enumerated by IPOB for its agitation, including acute poverty, massive corruption, injustice, kidnapping, lawlessness and lack of free speech are now being felt by the generality of Nigerians.

 

A perspective by the Afrobeat Prince, Seun Anikulapo Kuti, is profoundly instructive. In a recent interview, Kuti inferred that, like the Biafran agitators, every Nigerian actually wants freedom from the country, due to the worsening state of affairs. To nail the point, he asserted that the entire citizenry would not hesitate to “escape” from Nigeria, if the international community dares to leave its border wide open. And Kuti was on point! Today, there is mass exodus of Nigerians to both richer and poorer countries, and they never hesitate to dump their Nigerian passports to acquire the citizenship of their host countries. Some are even willing to embrace the harsh conditions in immigration jails in the foreign land as more hopeful than the situation in our native land.

 

No person has demonstrated more fancy for freedom from Nigeria and its failing amenities than the country’s president, Muhammadu Buhari. For example, though Nigeria has its own assortment of holiday resorts, Buhari is always in hurry to vacation abroad. Though the country has a national hospital building, which can be equipped to an international standard within six months—to also serve other Nigerians, President Buhari readily opts for foreign clinics. Instead of Nigerian higher institutions, he prefers foreign schools for his children. Instead of promoting made-in-Nigeria automobiles, which can help spur employment opportunities for the teaming youths, the country’s president uses only foreign cars. Needless to mention that, to him, rule of law in the country no longer means a thing.

 

But Muhammadu Buhari is not alone.  

 

Other Nigerian leaders are equally guilty. In short, the sole reason they still associate themselves with the country is the unhindered opportunity to loot the resources needed to sustain their affluent lifestyles abroad. The worst is that these Nigerian leaders stash the looted funds in foreign banks, at the cruel expense of the masses. Only people who despise the citizenship of their country exhibit such patterns.

 

Even if the Nigerian leaders somehow happen to love the country, besides its money, the phobia with Biafra is insincere. Progressive nations witness calls for secession from time to time, especially where some groups feel oppressed. What matters is how the leaders address such demands. Moreover, the history of secession in Nigeria did not begin with Buhari or Biafra nor will end with Biafra or Buhari. Groups, particularly, Oduduwa, Arewa, and Niger Delta had at one time or another threatened secession from the country. Yet, such terms have not been deleted from the human history. The truth is that Biafra has come to represent a people. Its agitation has come to serve as a threat to the gross misrule in Nigeria.

 

At the same time, while the calls for equitable and just government deserve every commendation, outright secession is not the panacea to the problems; after all, the leaders of Biafran descent themselves, including governors and legislators, have not been able to show the desired example within their states. Yet, the current approach where anything associated with the term Biafra is disparaged with impunity only goes to grow the agitation. As Senator Ben Bruce once appealed at the floor of National Assembly, the dictatorial attempt to efface Biafra or its history is far from the solution.

 

The solution is an equitable, visionary and dynamic leader, who has the zeal, the competencies and capacity to unleash the abundant potential of Nigeria to greatness. The solution is a true democracy where government can thrive through inclusiveness, free speech, and dialogue.

Why Sowore May Never Regain Freedom Under Buhari

By SKC Ogbonnia

November 4, 2019

 

Nigeria’s foremost anti-corruption crusader and a presidential candidate in the country’s 2019 election, Omoyele Sowore, who is being detained by state authorities on trumped-up charges, may not regain freedom soon, because he happens to be a paragon of virtue who truly personifies the famous quotation: “I belong to nobody.” It is clear this uncommon patriotism has not been put into consideration by the principal actors in Sowore’s ongoing prosecution, particularly the presiding judge, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu.

 

Recall that Justice Ojukwu, while reducing one of Sowore’s bail conditions from N100 million to N50 million, had wondered why a Nigerian of his pedigree does not have many people queuing up to stand as his surety, the stringent terms notwithstanding. It can be easy to lampoon the learned judge for hinging her argument on such premise, quite alright, but she should be assumed innocent on four compelling grounds.

 

First, Justice Ojukwu must have based the decision on legal precedent. Such bail conditions, including a seemingly assumption that Sowore maintains a residence in Abuja, are typically reserved for famous Nigerian politicians. But it obvious Justice Ojukwu did not know that, unlike the corrupt politicians, Sowore is neither wealthy nor can afford an opulent lifestyle of multiple mansions. More importantly, Ojukwu does not know that Sowore distances himself from the wealthy politicians, most of who attained their status through corrupt means. Though he aligned with some questionable characters within the opposition ranks during the 2015 presidential campaign, his effort was not only strictly pro bono, that moment in history called for a united front against the gross misrule under the then ruling party.

 

Second, Justice Ojukwu clearly mirrored the bail conditions of Nnamdi Kanu, another citizen charged for treason in violation of his right to free speech. Yet, the judge should not fail to recognize that Nigerian money bags, who could afford the millions involved in such bail conditions, owe their allegiance to the country’s two political behemoths: Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressive Congress (APC). This goes without saying that Kanu was able to meet his bail conditions due to the fact that he enjoyed an intrinsic sympathy within the PDP. On the other side, even as Sowore played a vital role in bringing APC to power, the party now sees the anticorruption activist as its primary enemy.

 

Third, Justice Ojukwu might have been swayed by the fact that there is no meaningful pressure from Sowore’s tribe or region, as commonly obtainable when citizens are illegally detained in Nigeria. But she must be reminded that geopolitics does not favor Omoyele Sowore. His style of war against corruption has never known boundaries, and this patriotic independence is central to his undoing.

 

For instance, the East appears to have no sympathy for Sowore for his role in the fall of President Goodluck Jonathan. The North, on its own, is very furious at the anti-corruption activist for opposing President Buhari. Worse still, the political leadership in Sowore’s Western region under APC is even more irate. A Southwest cabal assumes that its support of the injustice against Sowore would endear it to Buhari towards 2023 presidency—a thought similar to a prevailing emotional myopia which presumes that the Igbo should foreclose any hope of producing the next president because of Nnamdi Kanu.

 

The nature of these sectional inuendoes is regrettably understandable. However, it only goes to show that Sowore truly belongs to nobody but has sacrificed for everybody. This paradox has roots in the ephemeral nature of memory in Nigeria, a country where the history is a taboo, which has always made it difficult to give honor to whom honor is due. If not, both the North and West would have capitalized on the moment to demonstrate appreciation for the role Sowore played in bringing both Buhari and the APC to power; while the Easterners could embrace any support as a payback for the risks the Sahara Reporters publisher took in Jonathan’s journey to the presidency, beginning from the time the health of Jonathan’s incapacitated predecessor, Umaru Yar’Adua, was shrouded in utter secrecy.  

 

Finally, even if Justice Ojukwu further varies the bail terms to the barest minimum, as widely expected, a powerful cabal within the APC would not want Sowore to regain freedom before 2023 presidential election. Such characters want to remain in power after Buhari and thus see Sowore’s tabloid, the Sahara Reporters, as the “African Wikileak”, capable of exposing their sins against the humanity.

 

This is where Nigeria’s civil society ought to come in and heighten the pressure. The posterity will not be kind to this generation if we allow evil to triumph over good. This time calls for perseverance and persistence. A noble step forward is to find a way to chip into the #freesoworenow “Go Fund Me” account, no matter how little. The wealthy good Samaritans, who are understandably scared that the Buhari regime could go after their businesses, if they stand for Sowore, can still contribute to Go Fund account, using the Anonymous option. Money is direly needed to defend this prisoner of conscience and the cause of the common man. As the eminent philosopher Edmund Burke would remind us, evil can only thrive if good people do nothing.

 

In sum, the continued detention of Omoyele Sowore may appear very appealing for the ruling APC, politically; but the apparent injustice evokes fatal consequences. The biggest loser is President Buhari for succumbing to the wishes of an overzealous cabal whose sole vision in the plot to succeed him is polar opposite to the common good. It is not surprising that the Sowore saga has further darkened Nigeria’s image in the comity of nations, thereby hindering the all-important foreign investment. Of course, the poor masses are the victims.

Press Statement-

Sowore’s Early Christmas Gift And Adesina’s Call For Revolution

By SKC Ogbonnia

December 19, 2019.

 

President Muhammadu Buhari must no longer continue to betray the vision of #RevolutionNow, being the call for protest against bad governance in Nigeria by the renowned anti-corruption and human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore. Similarly, the president ought to embrace another powerful call this week for a revolution from no other than his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina.

 

But this appeal remains a tall order. The truth is that President Buhari reneged on the revolution agenda we deployed to free Nigeria from the 16-year of gross misrule under the Peoples’ Democratic Party. As a result, virtually every performance measurement index in the critical areas of social, economic, and politic development have become worse than the situation before he assumed power. Even in the areas where Buhari recorded measurable progress, his style of leadership has been utterly miasmic, enough to cause a Saint to wear the look of a Satan.

 

Different efforts, however subtle, to point the president to the right direction during his first term by members of the Nigerian media, as well prominent patriots, fell on deaf ears. It was then believed that voters could capitalize on the 2019 elections to sweep him out for good. But that was not to be. Apart from the fact that the presidential election was neither free nor fair, Muhammadu Buhari would become re-elected as the better alternative in an election generally viewed as a binary contest between a devil and the deep blue sea.

 

This hollow re-election victory has done nothing but embolden Buhari to descend deeper and deeper into dictatorship. If his first term record was a dismal failure, his second term in office is trending to become even worse. But critics this time have grown tired. The Nigerian press, which is generally a vibrant and fearless force, had begun to feel surfeited, since talking to General Buhari appears like talking to a brick wall. Even the prayer warriors had also begun to lose hope.

 

Then came an early Christmas gift to Nigerians, particularly President Buhari. An unseen power beckoned Omoyele Sowore to say enough is enough, as he called for true revolution towards good governance in his homeland. Buhari and his people recognized that this voice was like no other. After all, the call was coming from Sowore, a rare patriot with a bevy of global networks, who along with his Sahara Reporters, had triggered the fall of many Nigerian corrupt leaders. The unseen power answered once again by goading Buhari to arrest and detain the human rights activist without bail.

 

But Nigeria’s God is far from spent. The glimpse was the audacity of a woman in Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, the trial judge who threatened to jail the Chief of Buhari’s secret police, the Department for State Services (DSS), if he failed to free Sowore in line with court orders. Though the DSS adhered to the judge’s ultimatum and released Sowore, little did the world know that the worst was yet to come. In less than 24 hours after the release, the same secret police stormed back to the federal high court, wielding wild guns, and forcefully re-arrested Sowore while he was standing trial, as the judge and court staff fled for their lives.

 

The darkest hour has its dawn! The naked desecration of the Judiciary by the Executive branch in the Sowore saga has provoked new attention on Nigeria and has the potential for the long-sought liberation from Buhari’s reign of terror. Accordingly, major local news agencies, most of which were instrumental in bringing him to power, have washed their hands-off the president. In short, the nature of worldwide condemnation trailing the shameless rape on Nigeria’s fledgling democracy has not been witnessed in recent history. And the Buhari people ought to know the consequence.

 

The bee sucks honey out of the bitterest flower! Notable Buhari enablers are beginning to sing different tunes. Some of them are even beginning to use the “R” while damning its phobia. Notice that his press secretary—of all people—did not hesitate to use the occasion of Buhari’s 77th birthday to echo the need for revolution in the country. In Femi Adesina’s own words, “Nigeria must get a new lease of life, and history must record it that the revolution started under one man: Muhammadu Buhari.” Interestingly, the date of Adesina’s publication was December 17, 2019, barely five months after Omoyele Sowore was arrested for daring to utter the word “revolution”.

 

Every cloud has a silver lining! President Muhammadu Buhari has dug himself into a big hole in the Sowore saga, and change has become inevitable. Therefore, unless he prays for the doomsday, now is the time tap from the history and do the right thing. The wise will begin with an early Christmas gift of his own to the Nigerian people by freeing Sowore NOW!

MyTake:

SKC Ogbonnia DID YOU, yes! You - did you SKC NOT run for the office of Presidency of Nigeria, at the same time or in the presidential race that Sowore, like you, SKC, was a candidate or another candidate in the race that Mohammadu Buhari was DECLARED the win, and he (President NoCertificate) is now governing the Country as a DEBTOR Country in the world by the world renowned SELF-PROCLAIMED Debtor! General Mohammadu Buhari.

Mohammadu Buhari told the entire WORLD that he, Mohammadu Buhari, LOANED Money to run for the office of presidency. The office of presidency is known as BOI-BOI#1 of the Nigerian PEOPLE.

Back to SKC, you are becoming, maybe unknowingly - a DISAPPOINTMENT given your APPROACH thus far or in the manner you have taken to VOICE your Opinion on Sowore’s imprisonment as a Journalist and Political Activist.

As I have said on the SOWORE matter, I careless for Sowore as a “person”, for many reasons including but not limitation to the Caricatures he MADE of JONA’s ADMINISTRATION and JONA as a person. JONA is the LEADER of THE “SHOELESS GENERATION”, this Generation is ALIVE and WELL, and only needs to be AWAKEN! 

What he SOWORE NOW must realize is that the FREEDOM OF THE Press, he Sowore and ShakaraREPORTERS enjoyed under JONA - no longer EXIST - under the FALSE PROPHET, Mohammadu Buhari.

Sowore, I Hope is DOING what he can to BETTER NIGERIA as best as he knows how, if so, may the best IDEAS win!!!

The Nigerian Donald Trump

By SKC Ogbonnia

December 23, 2019.

 

Donald J. Trump last week became just the third president to be impeached in the history of United States of America. But every nation has its own Trump. That is, someone who found himself in position of power, not because of pristine background, experience, leadership effectiveness, moral purity, or political correctness. It could also be someone who might have indulged in gross abuse of office.

 

Of course, Nigeria harbors a good number of its own shameless characters, some of whom are identified below. Yet, the mere mention of such names in the same breadth with Donald Trump, however ignoble, is ostensibly an elevation, but the glow of a vulture never lasts beyond the dry season.

 

Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, Governor of Kano State: Like Trump, Ganduje is virally corrupt, morally bankrupt, maleficent, vengeful, baleful, and ruthless. Kano has not known peace, since the governor was seen in a trove of video clips receiving bribes from a contractor and stuffing the proceeds in wads of dollars into his pocket. In short, only in Nigeria can such a highbinder remain a governor of a state. Yet, similar to the situation in America with Donald Trump, instead of punitive action, Ganduje’s political party has turned blind eye while the ancient city of Kano is under assault. Nevertheless, lack of stature, as well as charisma, is the only reason Ganduje would not readily qualify as the Trump Nigerian double.

 

Adams Oshiomhole, National Chairman, All Progressives Congress (APC):  Oshiomhole has remained in power through a combination of dubious charisma and the ability to deceive a gullible society for selfish interest. He is also combative, full of bluster, and sees quid pro quo, as a way of life, however warped. Moreover, the APC Chairman is madly attention-seeking and craves exotic lifestyles. These descriptions fit perfectly well with Trump. But it won’t still suffice here. Oshiomhole’s physical attribute is the human equate of the aye-aye, and the American president is conscious of his look and will rather resign from office than be compared with the former Edo governor.  

 

Dino Maleye, ex-Kogi Senator: The history will remain in wonderstruck of how this nothingburger found himself in the Legislature, let his dream to become president. In short, the sole reason Dino is on this list is the mere fact that he is the quintessential bozo. A bozo means wazzock—a stupid person, a clown, buffoon, and nincompoop—the type of nouns commonly associated to Donald Trump. Moreover, Maleye also gloats on his physical attributes, as well as fortune, no matter how crooked, and the media are fascinated with him for entertainment value.

 

Ayodele Fayose, Former Ekiti Governor: This is another rabble-rouser that exhibits the typical Trump characteristics. He is street-talking, cavalier, incoherent, unapologetic but a goon of charismatic celebrity, who draws followers by parading fantasy as fact. The former Ekiti governor too wants to be president, but that is where the comparison ends.

 

Orji Kanu, Senate Chief Whip: The garrulous former Abia State governor has a background that not only evinces everything wrong with politics but also echoes that of the American president. Kalu is bold and charismatic and, of course, owes his climb to power to make-believe wealth base. Though he has long aspired to be president, the Senate Chief Whip is a tub-thumper with no known political or religious beliefs, who was merely wagering at the ruling APC before he was convicted for corruption. He would have emerged as a near perfect Nigerian Trump, but the former Abia governor mis-gambled big time with his current party.

 

Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s President. For sure, Buhari is a slowpoke, as well as a goldbrick. He is neither charismatic nor loquacious. More essentially, he cannot claim to know what it takes to create jobs or wealth. Thusly, he may appear to pale in comparison to Donald Trump, but the truth is that the Nigerian leader actually has more in common with the American president. To begin with, Buhari is a stone-cold bigot who has sustained power through demagoguery. In addition, he is by far the most vengeful, divisive, tribalistic, sectionalistic, nepotic, and toxic leader Nigeria has ever seen.

 

The similarity grows closer when considered that both Trump and Buhari thrive in hypocrisy. For instance, they assumed power in their respective countries preaching integrity, virtue, and righteousness, only to gain the power to embrace corruption, utter disregard for rule of law, and gross abuse of office as way of governance.

 

Not to be forgotten, the Buhari apologists never fail to brandish the bad examples of President Trump as excuse for the unending moral deficiencies of the Nigerian leader. Very significantly, despite their moral failings, their respective political parties never hesitated to coalesce behind the unrepentant leaders. That explains why Trump may never be removed from office by the American Senate dominated by his party. Such blind following is also the major reason the Nigerian Senate has not attempted to impeach Buhari, let alone removing the failing leader from office. The posterity beckons. The masses grapple.

[Nebukadineze Adiele]

Another beautiful piece by the effervescently erudite SKC Ogbonnia. Please permit me to add this little  addendum. 

(i) Dino Meleye fits every description you gave of him except being stupid. To the contrary, he is superior in intelligence than 90% of the politicians in Nigeria of today. Is Meleye clownish without being stupid? You betcha! 

(ii) The US Senate is not dominated by Republicans, it only has 53 Senators to Dems 47 (including the two Independents who caucus with Dems). It requires 67 Senators to remove a president; the GOP will not remove president Trump because of ideological profiteering (Trump is filling federal courts and US Supreme Court with ultra right wing jurists), not because they dominate the Senate -- they have a slim majority. 

(iii) You described president Buhari excellently. Neither Buhari nor Trump is intellectually fit to be president of their respective countries, however, Trump is not going to do any harm to the US because the courts, Congress, and the people are here putting him in check. The reverse is the case in Nigeria -- blind political loyalty, ethnic loyalty, religious loyalty, political patronage, corrupt courts and NA, abuse of power/people by law enforcement and security personnel, ignorance of a politically indolent population, etc. make the Buhari presidency a clear and present danger to Nigeria and Nigerians.  

I enjoy reading your criticisms of president Buhari because you are always accurate and your action is driven by love of country, not by any animus towards to the Daura despot. Keep it on bro., but be careful-- some idiots in this country may harm you while ingratiating themselves to president Buhari. 

By the way, the next protest by Nigerians has to be forcing the stupid Senate into immediately expel Orji Uzor Kalu from the Senate and to recoup any salaries paid to him since his conviction. Nigerian Senate's claim, that it cannot do anything to Senators who have been convicted and imprisoned by courts of law, shows how not serious and how hopelessly corrupt/stupid this country's leaders are. That Dariye was paid salaries while in prison is not just an insult to Nigerians, it is also an insult to the Senate. In responsible countries, a mere ethics' violation is enough to suspend a senator; a conviction by a court of law, over serious criminal matters, is a guarantee of expulsion from the Senate. By now, the Nigerian Senate should be announcing Kalu's expulsion -- he is no longer entitled to be allowed to draw salaries (without working) while in prison and appealing his conviction.  

Merry Christmas to you and to your family, bro. I have visiting Enugwu on my itinerary before going back to the US. If it doesn't get canceled, I shall email you before getting there, assuming you, like most Igbo politicians/big men, have not abandoned Igbo land for Awusa's Abuja and Yoroba's Lagos.

Dear Nebu Adiele et SKC Ogbonnia,

Happy Xmas from Agenebode, Edo State

Your presentations on the so-called Nigerian DTs were very INTERESTING....in fact, JUI has just set aside his bowl of delicious Fresh Water-derived Fresh Fish to issue this response. You know why? Follow JUI:

1. JUI would not waste his time debunking the glaring dissimilarities between DT and Gaduje, Oshiomhole, Dino, Fayose or Kalu because the comparisons are not only superficial, they're also baseless. If you perform a RIGOROUS post-publishing review, y'll get JUI's point. In JUI's view, a fair comparison of the personalities should take specific personality traits, habits, ethics, morals and discipline [personal/official] into consideration. SKC's presentations that were mostly supported by Nebu Adiele lacked those rigors!

2. On the comparison of DT to Buhari, it's IMPORTANT to realize that Buhari is a highly DISCIPLINED soldier, a personality profile that would not fit with a description of DT. In addition, Buhari is a principled leader, a description that may not fit DT due to the latter's transactional approach to life in general. As we all know, Buhari has served in various leadership positions in Nigeria, which would not be credited to DT. Buhari is not known as a transactional businessman who has been wheeling and dealing in the business or private sector unlike DT. FACT!

3. Yes, Nigeria should and can move faster on developmental tracks, and JUI thinks Buhari knows it....and hoping that he will do SOMETHING about it. But labels such as slowpoke and goldbrick would not be applicable to Buhari because he has proved himself in the past, as an excellent soldier, an Administrator and consensus builder. The substance in him has taken him through five democratic presidential campaigns and has won two. A lazy, worthless personality would have run out of steam or lost appeal, or both! In fact, this trait led him to undertake the CPC/ACN coalition that produced the mega-party APC that could rival PDP to win the presidency in 2015 and 2019. FACT!

4. Any Analyst who resides in the United States where Presidents freely appoint family members into their kitchen cabinets and sensitive national positions, or publicly romance evangelicals sometimes to the detriment of other faiths, will be considered unkind if he/she labels Buhari as "... a stone-cold bigot who has sustained power through demagoguery....., he is by far the most vengeful, divisive, tribalistic, sectionalistic, nepotic, and toxic leader Nigeria has ever seen"" just because Buhari has some of his folks around him. HABA! Besides, Buhari's VP is a Christian and of different ethnic group than Buhari; his party Chairman is Christian and of different ethnic group than Buhari; several APC Governors and Ministers are Christians and of different ethnic group than Buhari; FACT! So this "give a dog a bad name so that it can be killed" presentation is a tantamount to a campaign of calumny, an undeserved mis-characterization of a patriotic leader, a malicious character assassination, and an unnecessary exercise in defamation!

Anyway sha, it's Christmas season and in the Spirit of Xmas, let's try to be fair-mined, courteous, civil and reasonable in our analysis and outlook on the national issues. It's fulfilling for NIGERIA!

Merry Xmas and safe trip through Enugu, Edo and Lagos/Abuja....

Take care

JUI

Mohammadu Buhari (the Prophet of DOOM) supporters, better KNOWN as “buttlickers” DO NOT cease to amaze me!

Just read below posting from JUI. 

Only a buttlicker will see anything good in what Buhari’s administration is doing.

For now let’s leave talk of FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY aside.

Let’s start with the Levies that are STILL being collected from Nigerians DAILY by Law Enforcement Agencies (Police, army, customs, etc) at ROADBLOCKS across the country by those using PUBLIC OFFICES under Buhari’s Administration for personal gain, this is the definition of corruption at its highest order. TRUTH, beyond fact! 

Due to these LEVIES - the economy of the country is TAXED to death, resulting in government borrowing, borrowing, and more borrowing. TRUTH, beyond fact! 

 Mohammadu Buhari’s BUTTLICKERS such as JUI displayed in his presentation below that Buhari is so and so and yet JUI is not residing in Nigeria where there is no electricity 24/7, no clean water, or even worst, the same JUI was just telling us days ago that CRITICAL transportation ROADS, Highways and or freeways to his township or village in Auchi is NOT driveable or damaged beyond use. Yet, he loves his Messiah Mohammadu Buhari. Hehehehehe! 

I don’t judge anyone for loving their Messiah, like JUI loves the Messiah of Doom and Gloom, GENERAL and world renowned Despot Mohammadu Buhari.

• Dear Nebu Adiele et SKC Ogbonnia,

Happy Christmas to you too, my brother, from Owere, Imo state.

• Your presentations on the so-called Nigerian DTs were very INTERESTING....in fact, JUI has just set aside his bowl of delicious Fresh Water-derived Fresh Fish to issue this response. (JUI)    

As much fresh fish eating as you have advertised within your visit, you ought to be bored of fish eating by now (according to Economics' law of diminishing marginal utility). With all the poisoning and polluting of our rivers by oil companies and corporate-organized dumping of waste (some from Europe), I would be apprehensive of the healthiness of eating as much fish (as you do) from those captured in our non-monitored waters. Good luck with eating those fish but bear in mind that the fishery of yesteryear from that part of our country is no longer what it is today.

• 1.

You over-read SKC Ogbonnia, his point is less dogmatic in meaning as you ascribe to it. He was not strictly comparing the persons you listed, he merely used their foibles to drive home his point about president Buhari's failures. SKC was drawing the readers' attention to his core message by injecting those characters -- his motive of cuing the reader worked because we are now discussing Buhari's failures. You must not have taken any specialized training in writing, JUI; I suspect that SKC did, because he deploys all the techniques of writing all of the time. The only downside to doing so on these forums is the ease with which readers get confused or misunderstand the writer -- your current complaint is an example of that misunderstanding. 

• 2. On the comparison of DT to Buhari, it's IMPORTANT to realize that Buhari is a highly DISCIPLINED soldier, a personality profile that would not fit with a description of DT. In addition, Buhari is a principled leader, a description that may not fit DT due to the latter's transactional approach to life in general. As we all know, Buhari has served in various leadership positions in Nigeria, which would not be credited to DT. Buhari is not known as a transactional businessman who has been wheeling and dealing in the business or private sector unlike DT. FACT! (JUI)

Here you go, being absolutist in meaningless ways. There is no evidence that Buhari is a disciplined soldier. To the contrary, his public service has been characterized by wanton indiscipline, to wit: his participation in the coups of July 1966, July 1975, and December 1983; his activities on the military sector in Biafra were borderline war crimes (he allegedly executed surrendered Biafran soldiers summarily and turned blind eyes to soldiers' raping of civilian women, including under aged girls); he repeatedly disobeyed orders from President Shagari in 1981 and 1982, up to leading a military invasion of the Republic of Chad way past the order and limits of the assignment given to him (he was abusive to his political superiors when queried on his extra-military action in Chad); as HoS, he was a tyrant who locked up people left and right and executed folks using a retroactive law; as presidential candidate, he used incendiary and divisive words that tasked national security; in every assignment he has held, discipline has only been applied rhetorically, not realistically -- his current presidency is every thing but disciplined. I can go on and on but my point is made with this few references. Don't make me open book for you on Buhari o!

I don't know what you mean by "Buhari is a principled leader" but whatever it means, it must not be good because his current leadership of Nigeria is mediocre and without any coherent principle. If acquiring military training constitutes being principled, then Donald Trump should be so included in holding one, after all he spent 5 formative years (from age 13-18) in a military academy (https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-attended-new-york-military-academy-2016-12#through-the-years-the-student-body-has-remained-small-two-classroom-buildings-and-three-dorms-accommodate-the-28-students-who-enrolled-in-the-2016-17-academic-year-3). Granted, that does not constitute serving in the military, but it surely qualifies as obtaining a reasonable military training -- he was longer in military school than Buhari ever was. 

You use the word "transactional" as if it is a negative attribute. President Trump's "transactional" behavior is faulted solely for being misapplied -- to his personal gains, instead of to the US'. If what he required of Ukraine was for the US, and not for his personal political gain, no one would have faulted him, for that's what he was elected to doing. His experience in the corporate world is extremely advantageous to being POTUS, after all he has aides and career civil servants to help him navigate the strictures of governance. To the contrary, Buhari's lacking in any corporate experience or in any leadership environment outside of the military has manifested as disadvantages to his leading Nigeria on every of the different instances he has been at the leadership of Nigeria. Right now, he has no economic policy that is workable or consistent with modern economies. In any case, these points that you dredged were not the similarities SKC Ogbonnia focused upon, you need to read his piece again to comprehend that he saw the two presidents as actors in a scene, to whose object's spatial relationship he was orienting his readers. There is a reason you are a physical scientist, and not a writer, JUI, hehehehehe!!! 

• 3. Yes, Nigeria should and can move faster on developmental tracks, and JUI thinks Buhari knows it....and hoping that he will do SOMETHING about it. But labels such as slowpoke and goldbrick would not be applicable to Buhari because he has proved himself in the past, as an excellent soldier, an Administrator and consensus builder.

In fact, this trait led him to undertake the CPC/ACN coalition that produced the mega-party APC that could rival PDP to win the presidency in 2015 and 2019. FACT! (JUI)

You Buhari supporters are rarely in reality, that's why you ignore the fact that he is president, and has been president for almost 5 years now. It no longer matter what you think he can do or will do, what matters is that he has failed as president -- this is the verdict of most Nigerians who daily feel the pagans of his failure (forget the fraudulent election that "re-elected" him). To keep making excuses and justifying his clear failure is unpatriotic -- criticisms can only wake him up to the reality, while your excuses insulate him from the facts on the ground. Remember, SKC and I were die hard Buharites long before you, we are now judging him based on his performance while in office, not based on the fantasy of what we thought he was; you should do similarly if you were a genuine patriot. 

• 4. Any Analyst who resides in the United States where Presidents freely appoint family members into their kitchen cabinets and sensitive national positions, or publicly romance evangelicals sometimes to the detriment of other faiths, will be considered unkind if he/she labels Buhari as "... a stone-cold bigot who has sustained power through demagoguery....., he is by far the most vengeful, divisive, tribalistic, sectionalistic, nepotic, and toxic leader Nigeria has ever seen"" just because Buhari has some of his folks around him.

JUI

Presidents don't freely appoint family members into kitchen cabinets in the US. It has happened a few times and it raised eyebrows, leading to the enacting of the legislation against nepotism. Other than JFK, who appointed his brother Attorney General, can you name another president who has had a family member in his cabinet since? Don't confuse people in unpaid and unassigned roles for cabinet officials, kitchen or non kitchen. The law, as is the case in Nigeria, requires the president to reflect the diversity of the country in making his appointments. Both Trump and Buhari have not honored that requirement in any respectable degree -- that's a comparison right there. Equally, both deployed the demagoguery of "they vs. us" to get into office -- that's another comparison. Both are vengeful -- Dasuki has been jailed without any conviction, in flagrant disobedience to court orders, for 5 years over a slight on Buhari that dates back to 1985; Trump fired Comey and has gone after anyone whom he felt did as little to him as to not worship him. Facts, not necessarily truth, are antidotes to silly threats of defamation lawsuit; stop acting like Nigerians in Nigeria with this quickness to appealing to defamation as a threat with which to stifle speech and criticism. 

I don't have Agenebode on my radar, so we wouldn't be meeting. Enjoy your visit, my brother, just don't prompt me to writing this much lengthily while in Naija, hehehehehe!!!!!

JUI,

Thanks for this detailed objective response to those who would malign Nigeria and its leader. 

I didn't find it worthwhile to respond the obvious drivel in such detail to the motley crew. So I responded, similarly and shortly, to Mr. Ogbonnia - who never passes up any opportunity to vilify Nigeria and yet seeks to lead it!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Stevek.

Yes o, Steve! Happy Holiday, my friend! 

You know, for me, perhaps the saddest part is that while the people in this group malign and vilify both the country and its current leader, they do nothing to help with what they complain about. They stay in foreign lands and enjoy the comfort built there by people like them who stayed in their countries and worked tirelessly to make things better and daily badmouth their native country and its current leader who is doing a lot to make “a damaged” nation better. Their primary goal is what they can get as evidenced by how many people like them who, upon getting the chance, turned the treasury into private banks and in so doing, created the mess that the current administration has been cleaning. But they attack the administration because it no longer provides them the opportunity to get their own share through various means that were in vogue during that awful administration.

Fact is that anyone who would compare Buhari to the evil man Trump, should be ignored and discharged for he or she does not know much. It is really an insult that is beyond the individual they compare with this stain of a nation called Donald L. Trump. In fact, such a comparison is so out of line that reasonable people, even within their families, would find it hard to believe what else comes out of those making such comparison. You see, there is really not much of a “comparison” there, rather, it is hiding under the evil Trump to attack someone. Thus, one can simply see it as a case of attacking the moral being of an individual based solely on his and perhaps his heritage/tribe without much to substantiate the attacks being leveled. That is awful and shows the depth of hatred in some people. There is nothing in there about making “fair comparison” as one would expect and encourage from an “educated” person. I doubt that even a local newspaper in USA, UK, etc, in dire need for anything to publish, would even look at what was put forth below and which JUI rightly objected to. 

But here is the problem that affects you and I the most and goes beyond: Dr. Osuji just noted and/or alluded to in his latest post the fact that those doing such are so ignorant and uneducated that somehow, they believe that the people they so malign and in our case, their tribe, would laugh it all off and say, “welcome, we love you and have been waiting for your arrival to take over the country and all of us to the promised land!

For the time being, Dankote is building a gigantic refinery in Lagos and many other businesses that employ people across the country. People he employs come from all parts of the country, all tribal, ethnic, religious and other affiliating groups, including some from our villages or towns who have been crying for help and finding nothing, with some resorting to criminal activities! Same people we ignored even as we showed them our high degrees, our mansions, our SUVs, and how important we are in America, UK, etc. And because we still see Nigeria from the lens of yesteryears, with many of us believing that what gets them to the head is through demeaning, maligning and vilifying the leaders who have been with our people, who have walked with them and lived their lives with them and who are now doing their best to make their lives better. I am pretty sure that, at least, some of them, even in our villages, would wonder if such is what we learned in our lengthened sojourn in America or wherever else we tell them we have been. But unbeknownst to this group, with internet and other social media, our people are no longer in the dark where they were and believed in stories that were often loaded with lies and deceit. In essence, what those in this group are selling may not be bought beyond their cohort, mostly those around them in diaspora, who now sing their song since there is really not much else to do at this point in their lives. After all, life in retirement or peri-retirement in USA, UK, etc was not designed for us! So, sing on.., if that helps you but thinking that such would do it for you is believing in yesterday’s that is going away daily! Perhaps a break to drink some water may help you to re-think. Perhaps! 

Happy Holidays to you all!

Joe.

Mazi Nebu Adiele,

Please, don't spoil the yuletide mood with some of these latent condescensions and insensitive expression of  ethnic/regional biases that wont take Nigeria anywhere. In fact, one of the biggest DISAPPOINTMENTS one experiences in these Naija eforum is how blind ethnic loyalties and vicious ethnic nationalism guide the opinions of several so-called educated Nigerians, some residing among Oyibos at the epi-centers of global multi-ethnic democracies and multi-faceted capitalism.

Specifically, consider the following:

1. If you Google Joseph Igietseme, y'll find that he sits on the editorial Boards of several prominent international English language-based scientific journals. Also, Joseph Igietseme has been a regular member of the scientific review panels of the National Institutes of Health [NIH], CDC, MRC, Austria Scientific Academy, DoD, the Gates Foundation, etc. Written evaluations of perhaps some of the most sophisticated and cutting edge scientific proposals, grants and manuscripts are among the responsibilities of these panels and Boards. So it's laughable that Mazi Nebu Adiele sometimes convey this condescending impression that JUI's English language use is questionable just because JUI does not write in proses and winding fashion like Nebu. It's an erroneous reading comprehension by Nebu and it's UNACCEPTABLE!

What's obvious in these forums is that different people use different STYLES; there are One-liners; there are people who write in phrases; there are prose writers; some write in scientific fashions; so far as we UNDERSTAND the message that they're conveying, we MUST respect them all! 

2. Nebu, how can you write this statement ["Remember, SKC and I were die hard Buharites long before you, we are now judging him based on his performance while in office"] and not think twice or thrice before supporting SKC or displaying your RECENT SUDDEN FLIP and TOTAL CONDEMNATION of Buhari in absolute terms, as if Buhari has been unknown to you? Why would reasonable people not QUESTION the motivation for the sudden flip, and in fact impeach your previous songs of praises of Buhari if your present position is based on just the last 4 years of Buhari as a democratic President? What did Buhari do right before that he's not doing now? Or was your previous discipleship of Buhari baseless? Biko, tell us! We're no children, Nebu!!

Take care

JUI

JUI, I AGREE with you 100% above. The purpose of COMMUNICATION in any language is to convey information, which comes from UNDERSTANDING. 

Also, INTELLIGENT people understand that there are numerous STYLES and CONSTRUCTS in writing and delivering messages.

[Nebukadineze Adiele]

JUI,

In order to remain in the celebratory mood of the season, I have chosen to ignore your embarrassing bizarre bombast in your point number one -- it would be exceptionally easy to debunk your claim and showboating, but I pass for now. 

On point number two, I write to people who I believe or assume are properly educated, mature in age and character, and disciplined in intellect. No one in this category would ignore my stated reason for doing XYZ to imputing a bizarre and senseless one to me. I have stated times without number that I stopped supporting President Buhari because he came into office and morphed into doing things that I never knew that he was capable of doing -- parochialism, sectionalism, fundamentalist Islamism, brazen tribalism, undisguised   Fulani irredentism beyond my shock, relapsing into dictatorship even after he had apologized for doing so in 1984/85 and promised to not repeat it, etc. The only thing that I believed about Buhari and for which I can give him a little bit of credit today is corruption fighting -- he is making some progress (better than PDP ever did) in that arena despite what the critics say. As a result of these baggage of Buhari's, his presidency has failed to live up to the expectation of Nigerians -- this is obvious to all Nigerians who don't worship him blindly, even his wife says so from time to time. 

If I have given these reasons over and over, why would any person of sane mind and intellectual discipline ignore them to ascribe other childish and senseless motives to me? Why would it surprise any sensible person that I would cease supporting Buhari since he came into office and became slower and less competent than Jonathan? I support ideas, not personalities; I hadn't criticized Jonathan because I hated his person, I supported Buhari because I had hoped that he was a different character from those whose leaderships drove Nigeria downhill. Once he became president and morphed into another typical Nigerian leader, any person of principle would naturally withdraw support for him and subject his failures to criticisms in order to get him to correct himself. Is there any principled Nigerian (including some APC members) who supported Buhari before 2015 but who hasn't had buyers' remorse over his failure? I am not talking about youngsters and political partisan boot-licking shallow minds, I am talking about people of remarkable intellects who genuinely mean well for Nigeria. At some point, you will have to declare for yourself exactly among whom you belong, the former or the later, else onlookers would place you wherever they believe that you fit in.

If you were meritoriously what you claim to being in your point number one, you would know that you must first prove that the reason that I have given for withdrawing support for Buhari, a politician I supported since 2003, is false before ascribing any nonsensical reason to me -- that's what your education demands of you, if you fail to do so you must either be operating with prejudice or you are not as intellectually solid as you frequently force people to accept of you. It's bizarre that you didn't address the points you previously raised, and which I impeached, but instead chose to display uncalled for chest beating and a street-gossip's intellectualizing prowess. 

Let's stop here, JUI, else we lapse into our usual way of going haywire through debates; I am not doing that from Naija. 

Bye.

- Nebu

Really!!!

These low qualities of Buhari were were well known to Nigerians based on his abysmal performance as a brutal dictator.

That's why many Patriotic Nigerians (including yours truly) opposed the election of Buhari as President for that would obviously spell disaster for Nigeria.

All those who endorsed Buhari for President are hypocrites, traitors and enemies of Nigeria. Those include: Nebu, Stevek, Professor Wole Soyinka, Aluko, Okoi, Igbokwe, Tinubu, Peter (angry man) Opara, etc.

Please save us your crocodile tears about the Buhari presidency (a well predicted/obvious disaster) for it's either you're monumentally stupid or you're a congenital hypocrite.

Subject: Re: Re: [africanworldforum] Re: The Nigerian Donald Trump

 

Afis, 

There has to be something wrong with certain Nigerians, something so severe that they seem stupid, even though they are not stupid. These folks live in countries where the things they prescribe for Nigeria are absent, yet they shamelessly support the mediocrity in our land?

Here, I rented an armed to the teeth soldier as an orderly, and even at that I have to reshuffle soldiers every other day in order that they don’t get comfortable and collude with the underworld to do me in. What type of country is this and why would any investor, tourist, or anyone without aged parents visit it? The only time I see Custom Officers in civilized countries is when I am at points of entry, but in Nigeria they roam around streets, shops, homes, and even pull over vehicles. Yet Femi, JUI, and SteveK, who would raise hell if such things happened in their adopted countries, see nothing wrong with Buhari’s presidency. This administration lies so shamelessly that, by default, Nigerians no longer believe anything it says. For three years, this administration lied to Nigerians that FIRS was raking trillions of naira in revenue collections but just the other day, the new FIRS boss sent a letter FIRS employees lamenting the progressive decline in revenue collection since 2012—in other words, 2012 registered the highest revenue collection of over a trillion naira from 2011 to date; he then appealed to them to double their efforts, especially since multiple revenue collecting facilities/agents have been added to FIRS after 2012. Why were they lying that revenue collection by FIRS had hit the rooftop under Buhari’s presidency and why should we not assume that their similar claims about the Customs is also fraudulent?

Dasuki was locked up for four years without any conviction on any crime and in brazen violation of courts orders that granted him bail; Sowore was subjected to the same tyranny for almost 6 months, all this in a democracy? It took US frowning at such a totalitarian conduct for these folks to be released, yet these Nigerians, resident in countries where such an abuse doesn’t happen, still see nothing wrong with the Buhari presidency?

Poverty in Nigeria of today is three times worse than it was under PDP, the same thing applies to security and safety, yet Buhari’s worshippers see nothing wrong, even though the reason for electing Buhari was for him to fix things, not worsen them. Are Buhari’s supporters stupider than Trump supporters or they are merely disdainful of Nigeria and Nigerians? Why would any rational human being go along with the mediocrity, tyranny, ineptitude, and oppressiveness that is the Buhari presidency? Any human being who sees no problem with the current leadership of Buhari must have a mental problem up to stupidity. This is the same mentality being exhibited by Republican Senators and Congresspeople—excuse or explain away all shortcomings of president Trump. Whenever their excusing and explaining away don’t work, they attack critics, including journalists. How is Nigeria going to get better if folks are so worshipful of the leader that they go along with evil? 

Tufiakwa!

“Lack of electricity, bad roads, extortion by security forces etc etc,  can you truly cross your heart and say whether it expanded or contracted under PMB. ”.........By Femi Olajide, a Staunch member of Buhari’s Blind Follower Association (BFA).


Afis comment: Alagba, you really outdone yourself this time!

I won’t even say PIM on bad federal roads, you’re ridiculously hilarious on that one!

Let’s start from security personnel:

Paul Omoruyi just posted some damning evidence about the Custom officers demanding money at gunpoint, which is government sanctioned Armed Robbery.

Pls say it in Spanish “Uno”.

Cardi B, a singer from USA, just told the world that Nigeria has no electricity.

Pls say it in Spanish “Dos”, which means lamba “Biu” in Hausa.

Sowore and other journalists were arrested to clampdown one Free Press. And your country’s senate right nah nah, is trying its unenlightened best to create a law to repress criticism from the people and the press. A law initiated and encouraged by Buhari’s disdain for ANY criticism.

Pls in unison say it in Spanish “Tres”, which means Number Three in Iya Charlie language.

So, what the hell are you saying Mr Olajide? If you close your eyes to the truth, can you not feel the breeze, and smell the odor of retrogression, and hear the sound of injustice?

Can you be this loyal to ignore the truth staring at you like Cujo in Stephen King’s horror novel?

I had told you that you should try and inject some intelligence into whatever come forth from your waspish mind. 

Lack of electricity, bad roads, extortion by security forces etc etc,  can you truly cross your heart and say whether it expanded or contracted under PMB. 

Of course, we know the country is not there by any measure yet. However,  did all these problems emanate under PMB? 

Can you candidly say these issues were not worse under previous governments like GEJ et al? 

Which government had committed more resources to infrastructural development,  including your preference of roads and electricity,  than PMB? 

Which government in Nigeria made it a point in their policy not to commission new projects but to concentrate on abandoned projects of national importance including roads and electricity projects? 

The problem with some of Nigerians like you is that you criticize just for the criticism sake and not for advancing the nation or ensuring an improved national life. 

Yes,  PMB is not above criticism and yes he may have inadvertently opened himself to some,  but let it be on plausible critical issues and not on issues that he is head and shoulders above the previous crop of Nigerian leaders including your revered GEJ. 

Compliments of the season to you and your loved ones. And I only say it in the spirit of yuletide and I'm in a splendid mood. 

See you on the other side of Xmas with your gloves back on and ready to spar with you imaginary friend that you call Ebohon or Ehohon! 😎😀😁

Only a buttlicker will see anything good in what Buhari’s administration is doing.

For now let’s leave talk of FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY aside.

Let’s start with the Levies that are STILL being collected from Nigerians DAILY by Law Enforcement Agencies (Police, army, customs, etc) at ROADBLOCKS across the country by those using PUBLIC OFFICES under Buhari’s Administration for personal gain, this is the definition of corruption at its highest order. TRUTH, beyond fact! 

Due to these LEVIES - the economy of the country is TAXED to death, resulting in government borrowing, borrowing, and more borrowing. TRUTH, beyond fact! 

 Mohammadu Buhari’s BUTTLICKERS such as JUI displayed in his presentation below that Buhari is so and so and yet JUI is not residing in Nigeria where there is no electricity 24/7, no clean water, or even worst, the same JUI was just telling us days ago that CRITICAL transportation ROADS, Highways and or freeways to his township or village in Auchi is NOT driveable or damaged beyond use. Yet, he loves his Messiah Mohammadu Buhari. Hehehehehe! 

I don’t judge anyone for loving their Messiah, like JUI loves the Messiah of Doom and Gloom, GENERAL and world renowned Despot Mohammadu Buhari.

However, as a forgiving man, I can see how “some” may have realized their sins and REPENT. 

Now we are predicting that in less than 4 years from today, 12/26/2019 BOXING DAY - light would SHINE again in Nigeria because Buhari would have HAUL ASS from Ass-O-Rock (The People’s House).

WS, 

They will only be hypocrites if they secretly regret it and are playing to the gallery. But you can't actually say so with those you mentioned. 

So,  who's the hypocrite now?

Stevek is probably the worst amongst them. He lacks critical thinking and analysis. It is as if some opened his head, removed half of his brain and replaced it with fresh cement.

These low qualities of Buhari were were well known to Nigerians based on his abysmal performance as a brutal dictator.

That's why many Patriotic Nigerians (including yours truly) opposed the election of Buhari as President for that would obviously spell disaster for Nigeria.

Please save us your crocodile tears about the Buhari presidency (a well predicted/obvious disaster) for it's either you're monumentally stupid or you're a congenital hypocrite.

Subject: Re: Re: [africanworldforum] Re: The Nigerian Donald Trump

 

Afis, 

There has to be something wrong with certain Nigerians, something so severe that they seem stupid, even though they are not stupid. These folks live in countries where the things they prescribe for Nigeria are absent, yet they shamelessly support the mediocrity in our land?

Here, I rented an armed to the teeth soldier as an orderly, and even at that I have to reshuffle soldiers every other day in order that they don’t get comfortable and collude with the underworld to do me in. What type of country is this and why would any investor, tourist, or anyone without aged parents visit it? The only time I see Custom Officers in civilized countries is when I am at points of entry, but in Nigeria they roam around streets, shops, homes, and even pull over vehicles. Yet Femi, JUI, and SteveK, who would raise hell if such things happened in their adopted countries, see nothing wrong with Buhari’s presidency. This administration lies so shamelessly that, by default, Nigerians no longer believe anything it says. For three years, this administration lied to Nigerians that FIRS was raking trillions of naira in revenue collections but just the other day, the new FIRS boss sent a letter FIRS employees lamenting the progressive decline in revenue collection since 2012—in other words, 2012 registered the highest revenue collection of over a trillion naira from 2011 to date; he then appealed to them to double their efforts, especially since multiple revenue collecting facilities/agents have been added to FIRS after 2012. Why were they lying that revenue collection by FIRS had hit the rooftop under Buhari’s presidency and why should we not assume that their similar claims about the Customs is also fraudulent?

Dasuki was locked up for four years without any conviction on any crime and in brazen violation of courts orders that granted him bail; Sowore was subjected to the same tyranny for almost 6 months, all this in a democracy? It took US frowning at such a totalitarian conduct for these folks to be released, yet these Nigerians, resident in countries where such an abuse doesn’t happen, still see nothing wrong with the Buhari presidency?

Poverty in Nigeria of today is three times worse than it was under PDP, the same thing applies to security and safety, yet Buhari’s worshippers see nothing wrong, even though the reason for electing Buhari was for him to fix things, not worsen them. Are Buhari’s supporters stupider than Trump supporters or they are merely disdainful of Nigeria and Nigerians? Why would any rational human being go along with the mediocrity, tyranny, ineptitude, and oppressiveness that is the Buhari presidency? Any human being who sees no problem with the current leadership of Buhari must have a mental problem up to stupidity. This is the same mentality being exhibited by Republican Senators and Congresspeople—excuse or explain away all shortcomings of president Trump. Whenever their excusing and explaining away don’t work, they attack critics, including journalists. How is Nigeria going to get better if folks are so worshipful of the leader that they go along with evil? 

Tufiakwa!

Afis comment: Alagba, you really outdone yourself this time!

I won’t even say PIM on bad federal roads, you’re ridiculously hilarious on that one!

Let’s start from security personnel:

Paul Omoruyi just posted some damning evidence about the Custom officers demanding money at gunpoint, which is government sanctioned Armed Robbery.

Pls say it in Spanish “Uno”.

Cardi B, a singer from USA, just told the world that Nigeria has no electricity.

Pls say it in Spanish “Dos”, which means lamba “Biu” in Hausa.

Sowore and other journalists were arrested to clampdown one Free Press.. And your country’s senate right nah nah, is trying its unenlightened best to create a law to repress criticism from the people and the press.. A law initiated and encouraged by Buhari’s disdain for ANY criticism.

Agenebode people are borderline Awusa, ejikwem ogu o! Look at them, with Awusa who refused to go back to the North written all over their faces, lol. Even that guntu with a bleached face looks like a gobobiri luggage hauler. Why is there only one building within such an expansive radius?

JUI, you look refreshed and happy; I am happy for you, brother. It is great to visit home periodically, despite the risks--I have an armed to the teeth military orderly; I paid for his services but I cant guarantee if the money went into the military's coffers or into a commander's. You look relaxed and unperturbed by any security concerns in Agenebode, that's enviable. Not even the stench of the fertilizer factory borders you, JUI? Maybe I should come put up a relaxation cottage in Agenebode, what do you think? 

Merry Christmas, bro.

Subject: Re: Re: [africanworldforum] Re: The Nigerian Donald Trump

 

Afis, 

There has to be something wrong with certain Nigerians, something so severe that they seem stupid, even though they are not stupid. These folks live in countries where the things they prescribe for Nigeria are absent, yet they shamelessly support the mediocrity in our land?

Here, I rented an armed to the teeth soldier as an orderly, and even at that I have to reshuffle soldiers every other day in order that they don’t get comfortable and collude with the underworld to do me in. What type of country is this and why would any investor, tourist, or anyone without aged parents visit it? The only time I see Custom Officers in civilized countries is when I am at points of entry, but in Nigeria they roam around streets, shops, homes, and even pull over vehicles. Yet Femi, JUI, and SteveK, who would raise hell if such things happened in their adopted countries, see nothing wrong with Buhari’s presidency. This administration lies so shamelessly that, by default, Nigerians no longer believe anything it says. For three years, this administration lied to Nigerians that FIRS was raking trillions of naira in revenue collections but just the other day, the new FIRS boss sent a letter FIRS employees lamenting the progressive decline in revenue collection since 2012—in other words, 2012 registered the highest revenue collection of over a trillion naira from 2011 to date; he then appealed to them to double their efforts, especially since multiple revenue collecting facilities/agents have been added to FIRS after 2012. Why were they lying that revenue collection by FIRS had hit the rooftop under Buhari’s presidency and why should we not assume that their similar claims about the Customs is also fraudulent?

Dasuki was locked up for four years without any conviction on any crime and in brazen violation of courts orders that granted him bail; Sowore was subjected to the same tyranny for almost 6 months, all this in a democracy? It took US frowning at such a totalitarian conduct for these folks to be released, yet these Nigerians, resident in countries where such an abuse doesn’t happen, still see nothing wrong with the Buhari presidency?

Poverty in Nigeria of today is three times worse than it was under PDP, the same thing applies to security and safety, yet Buhari’s worshippers see nothing wrong, even though the reason for electing Buhari was for him to fix things, not worsen them. Are Buhari’s supporters stupider than Trump supporters or they are merely disdainful of Nigeria and Nigerians? Why would any rational human being go along with the mediocrity, tyranny, ineptitude, and oppressiveness that is the Buhari presidency? Any human being who sees no problem with the current leadership of Buhari must have a mental problem up to stupidity. This is the same mentality being exhibited by Republican Senators and Congresspeople—excuse or explain away all shortcomings of president Trump. Whenever their excusing and explaining away don’t work, they attack critics, including journalists. How is Nigeria going to get better if folks are so worshipful of the leader that they go along with evil? 

Tufiakwa!

“Lack of electricity, bad roads, extortion by security forces etc etc,  can you truly cross your heart and say whether it expanded or contracted under PMB. ”.........By Femi Olajide, a Staunch member of Buhari’s Blind Follower Association (BFA).


Afis comment: Alagba, you really outdone yourself this time!

I won’t even say PIM on bad federal roads, you’re ridiculously hilarious on that one!

Let’s start from security personnel:

Paul Omoruyi just posted some damning evidence about the Custom officers demanding money at gunpoint, which is government sanctioned Armed Robbery.

Pls say it in Spanish “Uno”.

Cardi B, a singer from USA, just told the world that Nigeria has no electricity.

Pls say it in Spanish “Dos”, which means lamba “Biu” in Hausa.

Sowore and other journalists were arrested to clampdown one Free Press... And your country’s senate right nah nah, is trying its unenlightened best to create a law to repress criticism from the people and the press.. A law initiated and encouraged by Buhari’s disdain for ANY criticism.

Nebu Adiele,

Your mixture of yabbis, stroking and fawning will never have boundaries.....anyway, it appears that you can't help it....

Not the following:

1. What's the deal with Hausa and Awusa slurs? You need to elevate your language you as we all gain in ages, experience, awareness and vanity meaning of life....Hausas are Africans like Edos and Ndiigbo; is that not a fact? And have you not heard about the Edoid backgroudof most Agenebode people, although y'll fine different communities [Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani, Igbirra, Igalla, Ijaw etc] at Agenebode; inter-marriages have also produced several hybrid Agenebodeans, ALL AGENEBODEANS! The photo you say was taken after the Christmas church service at the Catholic church JUI received Confirmation in the 70s. Check the background and y'll see more people....

2. Agenebode has both very active and vibrant night and Day life....very few incidents of auto accidents, robberies or kidnapping in the past have been reduced to almost ZERO in recent times. My children who came to spend Christmas at home have been driving around by themselves, even to neighboring villages [wish the roads are better maintained...], day and nite. It/s rock-N-Roll everywhere …….village  festivals, masquerades, group parties, burials, celebrations, reunions etc....

Nebu, come on down with your Relaxation Cottage project; Agenebodeans will welcome you as they ALWAYS do! After all, we've all been expecting the Idah-Agenebode Nigeria Niger Bridge for several decades......although still hopeful, nothing is happening yet......as you know, Nigerian Govt leaders can be very UNSERIOUS about infrastructural development....

Finally, JUI is ALWAYS very RELAXED at AGENEBODE....That's HOME! JUI has not missed Christmas at Agenebode for over 20 years......y're invited any time but JUI has to know who to welcome......so Post Your Photo and you have JUI's word that y'll have a safe pass to and through Agenebode any time.....in fact, JUI'll be at a wedding later today between an Agenebodean Guy and an Owerri Damsel both residing in the Dallas TX area.....if you come, you may find one of your Owerri folks here...but not sure Abiodun will be here though....arrrsh…..haha!

Take care

JUI

As an Inyanminrin, Nebu is not born to appreciate people, places and things. Inyanminrins are bitter humans, endowed with pure hatefulness.

How can any loving, and love seeking human being see those smiling faces in the picture and first utterance is to demean them as sub-tribe.

Nebu shows in full technicolor, why Igbos are unloved, despised and stoned like how Muslims stone Satan in Mecca.

The Igbos are the Satan kids of our time!

If Nebu was an Ignoramus he would have known that even Inyanminrin’s wear those attires nowadays.

All attires are equally shared among all tribes in Naija nowadays, with the exclusion of Aso Oke that is only worn by Yoruba. 

Anywsys it’s weekend, Gotta get ready for my weekend boating adventures.

I own the Ocean.

Happy Holidays to all!!

Cereal Without-Milk Anyan-Nwu (Cockroach Boastful):

Cereal Anyanwu, no one cares about you or what you did during and after elections. Ok?

I was proud to support Asiwaju Tinubu by endorsing Buhari.

Yoruba are very wise in their choices.

You are an Inyanminrin, you don’t expect Afis to support Peter Obi, an Inyanminrin like yourself.

I don’t hide what I do, because I think hard and far before making my choices.

You Inyanminrins are motherfuckers as far as I, Afis, is concerned.

You are worse than Buhari or Fulani or Hausa, in my experience, and from the samples we experienced during GEJ’s misrule.

I will criticize his actions and I don’t care what his Diehard supporters think, they don’t pay my bills. Fuck them!

I own Me.

During GEJ’s misrule, he invaded Yorubaland with fake soldiers from Ijaw terror groups wearing army camouflages. 

You Inyanminrins went around boasting “it’s Goodluck-Igbo time!”

You forgot the backing given by Yoruba thru Asiwaju Tinubu and OBJ.

You claimed Akunyili, a pest and weed killer-minister, was the one that made GEJ. You Inyanminrins took over and blew up the Safe inside AsoRock and stole all our Heirlooms and bonds.

Do not kid yourself that any majority of Yoruba will ever vote for an Inyanminrin again.

I, Afis Omo-oniyakom’ebi, will fight tooth plus nail to never let such Inyanminrin-Yoruba union materialize.

You these ungrateful Inyanminrin motherfuckers.

Ekini kebe Elerejeji Kebe, haba Elereketa Akonkotan!!

Una Inyanminrins no go die well, na me say am!!!

Buhari is a bigot, a religious fanatic, but we are cool with it.

He has what the Inyanminrins fully lacked.......

Next time I will give out his secret, maybe when a Yoruba is president post-next election.

I wouldn’t want Inyanminrins to start faking to have what I say they lack.

""" I have stated times without number that I stopped supporting President Buhari because he came into office and morphed into doing things that I never knew that he was capable of doing -- parochialism, sectionalism, fundamentalist Islamism, brazen tribalism, undisguised   Fulani irredentism beyond my shock, relapsing into dictatorship even after he had apologized for doing so in 1984/85 and promised to not repeat it, etc.""...…………...Unquote: Nebu Adiele!

Mmadu Ebo Mazi Nebu,

Let's perform a critical review of your history of your support for Buhari and JUI would bet that Nebu will actually impeach him on this Buhari issue and may be rightly classified as hypocritical as Wharf Snake suggested recently.

1. The vital records show that Nebu supported Buhari for the presidency of Nigeria in 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015. This is a period of 12 years! This support was near cultic, fanatic, absolute and effervescent; had no tolerance for questions, clarifications or reflection. It was supposedly borne out of YEARS of dedicated discipleship and observation Buhari, etc etc.

2. The valid records would also reveal that Nebu started turning against Buhari just Few Months after the 2015 victory when Buhari started appointing people into his cabinets and when underage marriage of girls by some elderly Senators etc were coming up. This period will date back to the second half of 2015, say between May and December. Now, JUI's Billion Dollar Question that Nebu has failed to answer is: If Nebu has been following Buhari since the 1984/1985 military performance or thereabout and has been so uncompromising on Buhari's character, mien, dispositions, beliefs and philosophies over these years, how did Buhari MORPH into this Monster with few months of 2015 that led Nebu to stop his support? Did Buhari suffer a Sudden Mutation? After all, Buhari has not even produced his budget or completed his appointments...…….In Nebu's non-compelling explanation, within just 3 months or so Buhari """"morphed into doing things that I never knew that he was capable of doing -- parochialism, sectionalism, fundamentalist Islamism, brazen tribalism, undisguised   Fulani irredentism beyond my shock, relapsing into dictatorship even after he had apologized for doing so in 1984/85 and promised to not repeat it, etc""" Olorun Olodumare Chineke Oghena Help Us.....!

Nebu has to EXPLAIN this SUDDEN FLIP and irrationality oo…...Nebu can cuss JUI, abuse or whatever all he likes.....haha!

Nebu should realize by now that some people in these forums are not kids to be tossed up and down on these issues; we have our facts and we use them. Throwing Ogbwunigbe grammar and abuses or threats and blackmails here and there wont work.....

Take care

JUI

Bro Afis,

Don't mind Nebu; let's hope he's not irredeemable

Take care

[Nebukadineze Adiele]

JUI,

I thought that you would recognize that I was cracking a joke, and not pay attention to the hypocritical and sometimes senseless Afis. What I wrote in the first paragraph was a mimicking of Jorom's comical way of writing, XYZ "has Inyamirin written all over his face". I crack up every time I read that, so I tried it, but it obviously must have fallen flat. It is hypocritical of the fat toad-like Afis, who uses"Inyanmirin" as if he would have a heart attack if he didn't use it, to turn around and I say that I had treated some people as sub-tribe. Apart from Igbo, my closest tribe is Awusa, among whom I grew up and whose language I speak and eat their food. If I am not picking on Igbo in a joke, I would naturally pick on Awusa. I couldn't have said those people look Igbo because you folks are already close to us and it would make no sense -- Afis would have mischievously interpreted as Igbo claiming Edo as Igbo. Afis has to be stupid to think that I don't love Hausa folks -- the first fellow protecting me is one them and we conversed in his language before he as replaced.

Unlike most of my fellow Igbos here, I often give Afis the benefit of the doubt over his usage of "Inyamirin, but based on his devious distortion of my intention, it seems that those who have insisted that he treats Igbos with genuine disdain, by calling then Inyamirin, have a point -- he just projected his vileness onto me. Now I know that my words carry more weight than Afis' and Joroms', so I cannot joke like them because, even they, wouldn't recognize my words as jokes. Afis in particular is a stinking hypocrite who fools himself in thinking that Igbos give a damn on whether he likes or hates them. 

Seriously though, my response was in pure reciprocation of your felicitation and my appreciation of the calmness and happiness in your face. My floating the idea of a cottage there arose from my admiration of the serenity of that area. I am used to large populations in NY, Port Harcourt, and Owere. The scantiness of people in Agenebode (from that picture) reminded me of my get away village in Connecticut, hence the urge to come put up a cottage struck me.

Continue to enjoy yourself, JUI.  

[Joseph Igietseme]

How about the list of ongoing road projects in SS & neighboring states, especially Delta, Edo, Kwara, Kogi etc.

Dia-Ris God o........

Take care

JUI

JUI, you look refreshed and happy; I am happy for you, brother. It is great to visit home periodically, despite the risks--I have an armed to the teeth military orderly; I paid for his services but I cant guarantee if the money went into the military's coffers or into a commander's. You look relaxed and unperturbed by any security concerns in Agenebode, that's enviable. Not even the stench of the fertilizer factory borders you, JUI? Maybe I should come put up a relaxation cottage in Agenebode, what do you think? 

Merry Christmas, bro.

[Nebukadineze Adiele]

JUI,

I am not going to waste time on this. 

I don't know how or from where you derived your fantastic story that I turned against Buhari over night. My confidence in him began to wane after, in his first trip to the US as president and in an answer to a question posed to him, he said that he would treat Nigerians according to how much votes they gave to him. Ironically, the State Department had indirectly engineered that question with the expectation that President Buhari would seize on it to assure all Nigerians that he was their president, since he failed to do so during his inauguration speech. To my shock and to the shock of his hosts, he created that 97% and 5% dichotomy.

That speech confirmed the accusation of sectionalism labeled against him for decades and of which I had rejected. This was when I began to lose trust in him but I didn't abandon him. Shortly after that, he became sick and I stood by him throughout the illness, although I criticized the hanging of the presidential aircraft in London where it was accumulating fees. 

Once he returned from his treatment, he began to act like a sectionalist and a tyrant brazenly. He locked up Nnamdi Kanu; he reversed Osinbajo's appointment of SSS Director -- because he is a Southern Christian; he lived true his promise of 97%/5% in his political appointments; he wouldn't include women in any meaningful number, and over time he became desperate for reelection. Throughout all of this, I asked people to give him a break because of the illness. I began to contemplate giving up on him after he deployed wuruwuru to remove CJN and to also get reelected. In other words, I did not give up on him completely until after his second term. 

You are assuming that I gave upon him because you Nigerians are not used to a person like Nebukadineze -- a man who would criticize a politician he had supported. I am not like you guys; I am not one to defend incompetence and lawlessness, simply because the government in power was supported by me in coming to power. Political support is based on ideology, not personality. As much as I supported Buhari, I was never going to stand by him if he was emitting the charges his critics had long laced upon him. 

I am not the only long time Buhari's supporter who no longer supports him; there are many of us, especially those of us who supported him solely because we believed that he would fix Nigeria, not because we expected anything from him. That's all that I can say now, and that's the fact.

Stupid fat head Nebu with his fat buttocks trying to be funny. 

I blame Other Nigerians, they should’ve advised Nebu that butter no be monkey’s food, no Inyanminrin can make people laugh 😂 

In the past, Nebu would’ve been executed at the Bar Beach for robbing life out of a Jerome Niang Original Comedy.

Pls don’t do it again, you must know the son of whom you are, an Inyanminrin.

I hate to do this. Reminding Inyanminrins that they are not 😄 😃😃

Mazi Nebu,

Your response below is neither rationally persuasive nor is it factually compelling.

As JUI said previously, the Billion Dollar Question that Nebu has failed to answer is: If Nebu has been following Buhari since the 1984/1985 military performance or thereabout and has been so uncompromising on Buhari's character, mien, dispositions, beliefs and philosophies over these years, how did Buhari MORPH into this Monster with few months of 2015 that led Nebu to stop his support? Did Buhari suffer a Sudden Mutation?

In fact, the accurate records will show that Buhari did not even produce his budget or complete his appointments before Nebu exploded with blistering attacks on him. Saying that with few months, "Buhari was into doing things that I never knew that he was capable of doing -- parochialism, sectionalism, fundamentalist Islamism, brazen tribalism, undisguised   Fulani irredentism beyond my shock, relapsing into dictatorship even after he had apologized for doing so in 1984/85 and promised to not repeat it, etc"" was Fs Fa Fa FOUL and Completely UNACCEPTABLE!!

Take care

JUI

Mmadu Ebo Mazi Nebu,

Let's perform a critical review of the history of your support for Buhari and JUI would bet that Nebu will actually impeach himself on this Buhari issue and may be rightly classified as hypocritical as Wharf Snake suggested recently.

1. The vital records show that Nebu supported Buhari for the presidency of Nigeria in 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015. This is a period of 12 years! This support was near cultic, fanatic, absolute and effervescent; had no tolerance for questions, clarifications or reflection. It was supposedly borne out of YEARS of dedicated discipleship and observation of Buhari, etc etc.

[Nebukadineze Adiele]

Nothing you wrote here contradicted what I explained earlier on -- it didn't even need explaining if you had followed my gradual removal from Buharism honestly or objectively. That you repeated your "billion dollar" question does not mean that I did not answer it, all it did was showcase you as dealing in bad faith, in prejudice, very unbecoming of a man of your supposed intellectual stature. Either you did not read what I wrote or you could read it a million times and still hold onto your unnecessary question.

First of all, it is not unheard of within refined minds that people who were on the same ideological platform could depart ideological over time or even suddenly. In a different thread, I gave two instances of Scaramucci and Coulter, two ardent supporters of President Trump (and who wrote two best seller books on Trump) but who are today among the sharpest critics of Trump. Another one is George Conway, who introduced his wife to Trump (and she managed his campaign into victory) and remains his closest confidant till today. Yet Mr Conway became anti Trump once Trump began to showcase: xenophobia, romances with bigots, collusion with Russia, etc. It didn't take long after Trump became president for Conway to go from his ardent supporter to his sharpest critic. As I write, he is the most vitriolic critic of Trump, up to calling for his removal from office and setting up a committee to ensure that elected GOP Reps. and Senators who have ignored the US Constitution to defend Trump are defeated at the next election. 

I can bring it closer home. Anthony Enahoro was a Zikist but once he felt that Zik was not militant enough (Zik always took calculated/measured stances, which was one of the things some Igbos held against him), he parted ways with Zik and aligned with Awo whose firebrand he shared. Awo and Akintola didn't hate each other personally, they diverted ideologically but could not resolve that divergence without the mayhem that followed. How about Major Kojo Boakye-Djan and Jerry Rawlings? The former was Rawlings' best man at his wedding; once he learnt that Rawlings' death sentence had been signed and he was to be executed within hours, he led the June 4 1979 movement that released Rawlings from death row and installed him as AFRC Chairman. Boakye-Djan was said to be the actual leader who was calling the shots from the background, while Rawlings, because of his popularity, was made the face of the revolution. After they handed over to civilians, Major Boakye-Djan retired and accepted the government's offer to pursue his graduate and post graduate studies in the UK. While on his post graduate studies, Rawlings overthrew the Limman government to which they had handed power.

Despite their friendship, Boakye-Djan held a press conference to denounce the coup and asked Rawlings to hand back power to the civilians. His condemnation of his best friend's seizure of power was based on Rawlings' departure from the motive behind their June 4 Revolution -- punishing those who had overthrown elected governments. Major Kojo Boakye-Djan pointed out that they calculatedly executed Generals who had overthrown elected governments as a deterrent to anymore messing with democracy in Ghana, so Rawlings' overthrowing of an elected government was a betrayal to June 4. He remains a critic of Rawlings till today, even though they belong to the same NDC party and they ceased to be friends throughout Rawlings hold on power for almost two decades.

I had to narrate the above because it is a shock to me that you don't understand that political allies part ways, suddenly or gradually, over ideas. I began to part ways with Buharism following his speech on 97%/5%; every appointment the newly sworn-in Buhari made proved those who called him a sectionalist and an Islamist right; as of today, there is no doubt in anyone's mind (except in the minds of his worshipers) that president Muhammadu Buhari is more of a despotic Northern Nigeria Islamist President than a democratically elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Only a dunce, a hypocrite, or a tolerant of his current characteristics would not depart from supporting him; Nebukadineze Adiele is none of the above, so I had to stop supporting him. 

Assuming that I stopped supporting him overnight, so what, other than speaking to my being a person of principle? Yes, a person of principle does not go along with anything he/she knows to be wrong, whether he/she departs from it overnight or over time. What matters is that in the face of injustice a person of probity did not go along with the unjust. If turning against Buhari overnight is a vice, why does becoming his worshiper overnight a virtue? As of December 2014, you were still a virulent Buhari hater who believed that he was an Islamist, an unreformed tyrant, and a hater of non Fulani Nigerians. You returned from your Christmas visit to Nigeria in early 2015 and became a Buhari worshiper, how and why? What did El-Ruffai and Jimmy Lawal feed you to have obtained such a 360 degrees turn around? If you want to continue this route of ignoring my reasons to imputing silly motives for my departure from Buharism, then it would be fair to impute motives as to how you became a Buharideen overnight. 

JUI, in Nebukadineze, you have a Nigerian of fine mind and upright character, notwithstanding that I purposely play a fool on these forums sometimes. When it matters and where it matters, those who know me know that I show up with what suits the situation best. The expectation that I would not or should not criticize Buhari's shortcomings, because I had supported him, seems illogical and alien to me -- it baffles me that most of you feel the other way round.  Ideas, not personalities, are what matter to me on the political/intellectual arena, JUI.  

Be a wise man, let go of this and just enjoy your holidays in Agenobode, as I enjoy mine at Owere, PH, and Mbaise (I will probably add Agenebode next year).  

Cheers.

[Joseph Igietseme]

Nebu,

You should realize by now that JUI is not surprised that a supporter would criticize a leader that he/she supports because we all do it all the time; or whether a former supporter can part ways with the leader (s)he previously supported strongly. The Vital POINT is: If you take a survey, y'll find that Most Matured people don't use the goofy initial actions or statements of a leader (such as Buhari's 97%/5% response to a confusing question] to start developing hatred for the leader that they have known and supported for over 25 years; a leader that would make a man to cuss and abuse other people who dare to ask any question about; and a leader that would make a man to go about researching other people's families and educational qualifications so as to blackmail them into silence.

Wallahi, SOMETHING is very SPOOKY with Nebu's SUDDEN hatred and turnaround on Buhari! It's either that Nebu's manner of support and showing of it has no depth or he's such a PERFECTIONIST that he does not give room for natural human imperfections and mistakes. And since Nebu tells us here that he has families [immediate and extended], works with other humans, and we've observe his occasional errors here like everybody else, JUI doubts that Nebu has lived such a PERFECTIONIST life that he'll expect it from people that he support so strongly and fanatically.

See the support base of Clinton or Trump, despite their shortcoming here and there, the support is there; even the Christian Today magazine that scored Trump so low as to label him as immoral, also gave him slacks in some areas. So Nebu's sudden Flip on Buhari in 2015 within only few months into his presidency is suspicious, disappointing and mind-boggling for any observer or debating opponent [e.g., JUI] that Nebu has cussed out, abused, denigrated and demeaned just because he asked that Buhari should PERSONALLY dispel the certain allegations that his detractors were levelling on him.

Nebu: As y're seeing, it will take quite a bit to turn JUI away from supporting Buhari at this point, since JUI has known him and compared him with Jonathan, Yar'Adua and OBJ. That's how a Matured Person act! 

Take care

JUI

[Nebukadineze Adiele]

JUI,

The problem with you is that you always push womanishly until a simple debate turns into a curse fest, then you play the victim, even though you always precipitate such situations. I have repeated over and over that my withdrawal of support for Buhari occurred gradually and was about policy, not personal. I added that even if such withdrawal occurred overnight, nothing says that it couldn't. Yet you have continued to repeat your illogical insinuations that there was more to my action than what I have stated, yet you are unable to say what else it is or make sense of your position. 

Initially, your position was that it is unfathomable for a staunch support of XYZ to make a turn around, as you believe that I have done with Buhari, but after painstakingly illustrating to you that such is normal at the ideas level (by mentioning some names), you now changed your illogical dance steps to I was expecting perfection from Buhari. The point is that you want to perpetuate your cynicism over my departure from Buharism, even though facts contradict it. This is provocative and very disrespectful because you are claiming to being an expert on my mind and on my actions by dismissing what I am saying without any impeachment of it.

First of all, asking an elected president to treat all of Nigeria as his constituent is not asking for perfection, it's asking him to follow the law. When an elected president tells the world that he intended to treat Nigerians according to how much votes they gave to him, that's not goofing off, that's alarming and should be so perceived by mature and discerning minds. It becomes a security risk to the nation's survival if the president's appointments to sensitive positions in the land reflect that sentiment. President Buhari didn't goof off when he made the 97%/5% speech, he stated what was on his mind. It alerted me because that was one of the accusations that those of you who opposed him had leveled against him consistently. There is no way that a mature mind would still insist as of today that such a comment was a mere goofing around since his appointments to sensitive positions in the land (security heads, military heads, judiciary heads, legislative heads, etc) basically reflect his 97%/5% declaration. I can't support a president with this type of mindset, and that's not asking for perfection.

President Buhari campaigned on upholding frugality over the nation's wealth but he has turned out to be as flamboyant and reckless with managing Nigeria's resources as were the people he replaced. For example, Nigeria's debt was roughly $10 billion when he took over but now it is almost $82 billion. Within 15 months in office, he spent 5 billion naira on presidential fleet, the same presidential fleet he had promised to minimized the barest possible. In the 2019 budget, he proposed spending N7.30 billion on the Presidential Air Fleet, which is expected to top 10 billion naira in the 2020 budget. The Buhari that I supported would not be this reckless, so either that Buhari is no longer there or he was being hypocritical when I supported him. 

The above is just a minuscule sampling of the reasons for which I ceased supporting him, it is illogical and ungracious dealing of you to ignore the reason I give to latching onto personality. Why would I not stop supporting him over ideas when those were the reasons I supported him in the first place? If I am opposed to his lopsided manner of appointment, what is personal about that, am I interest in working for the Nigerian government? I am absolutely not interested in working in any capacity in Nigeria that is not executive in nature, so my opposition to his lopsided manner of appointment is consistence with my natural aversion for injustice, it is not about personality. Your repeating your cynicism over why I no longer support him makes no sense because you are abusing yourself by ignoring facts (my stated reasons) to embracing fantasy (your silly insinuations). If I were as illogical as you are being, I would insinuate that El-rufai and Jimi Lawal paid you to start singing Buhari's praises after you had been a virulent hater of him for decades -- you made that U-turn after returning from Nigeria in 2015, a few months to the election. 

Debates don't have to end in acrimony and insults but they often result so when a debater believes that his will most prevail even though it is neither logical nor impeaches the opponent's position. You often push this type of button and lace it with insults but when pushed back, you play the victim. For example, you just inexplicably revived our bout of years ago, lying that I had investigated your family. Referencing information on a public domain does not constitute investigating somebody; defending oneself, by redirecting an accusation to exactly where it rightly belongs, does not constitute investigating another's family, it is a legitimate way of fighting off hypocrisy and boorishness. In a debate over Buhari with you a few years ago, you acted as you are acting now -- willing your illogical position on me and on everyone with snide insults, up to asserting that I was a criminal for bearing Nebukadineze. All I did was redirect the reader to who has criminal records using in information on the public domain. In a different debate about gay right, you and a bunch of hooligans led by JC Lawal, asserted that I was either gay or had a gay child (I had told the story of the young lady, my son's childhood friend and academic competitor, who had to withdraw her admission to West Point because investigators not only believed that she violated "Don't as, don't tell" by writing in MySpace that she was "bi", but that she had also misled them by withholding that information during the face to face interviews. My son who is straight and her academic competitor went straight without any hindrance (he's a Captain today) and this incident woke me up to the injustice that gay people face, so I began to defend their right to equal treatment because I was sure the young lady was born gay -- she was always like a boy from age 8 when I first met her). The moment you joined those bums to falsely accuse me of being gay, it became germane for me to use information on the public domain to redirect the audience to the Nigerian family with a gay offspring. You have to be dishonest, irrational, paranoid, or stupid to construe my conduct as investigating your family. If you can't take it, don't dish it, JUI. It is a psychological illness for people to always assert what was done to them without being mindful of what they did to the person to warrant the response--POTUS Trump does it all the time, whining about what was done to him without any regards to what he had done to others or what he did to attract whatever he was whining about that was done to him; a group of psychologists cited that behavior as evidence of his having a mental illness.   

I want to let this go because we are in the season of merriment but I won't let you get away with foisting illogical argument and outright falsehood as to what I could have done with your family. Stop being needlessly provocative or wanting to have the last word, especially an untidy last word; it ain't happening.

[Joseph Igietseme]

Nebu Adiele,

When some people tell you that you lie too much, you go bunkers....

Now, consider the following contortions and bizarre anomalies from you.

1. ""I have repeated over and over that my withdrawal of support for Buhari occurred gradually and was about policy, not personal. I added that even if such withdrawal occurred overnight, nothing says that it couldn't."""....Unquote: Nebu!

If the foregoing statement is not one of the greatest double-talking in Trump's oxymoronic communication style, tell us what else. First of all, your withdrawal of support for Buhari has to be either FACTUALLY GRADUAL or OVERNIGHT [SUDDEN]; it cannot be both. And the records would show that your explosion of biliousness on Buhari started just few months after his election in 2015. He was just beginning to make appointments. JUI recollects that when some people initially complained about the appointments, they were told that there were more appointments on the way, and they should be patient because all regions and ethnic groups in the country would be represented as mandated by the Constitution. The point is that a longstanding supporter of Buhari that we thought Nebu was couldn't have turned on him so SUDDENLY.....no benefit of the doubts based on the long-term acquaintance of knowledge og the Guy; HABA! So will continue to tell you that your twisted explanations are not compelling.....keep trying!!

2. """If I were as illogical as you are being, I would insinuate that El-rufai and Jimi Lawal paid you to start singing Buhari's praises after you had been a virulent hater of him for decades -- you made that U-turn after returning from Nigeria in 2015, a few months to the election. """...…………..Unquote: Nebu!

Nebu, you don't need to moderate your regular insinuation in these forums that Jimi Lawal and el-Rufai bribed JUI to support Buhari. Realize that JUI has stated here again and again that he didn't know Buhari well because he was just leaving Nigeria when Buhari became the Head of State from 1984-1985; so when we started reading some of the criticisms and labeling about Buhari and some of you were complaining, JUI's opinion was that Buhari himself should dispel the accusations, not just his supporters. However, Nebu wont even allow for such a request. Nebu said JUI was asking for Buhari's rebuttals because JUI must have believed that there could be any truth in whatever the accusers were saying about Buhari. Nebu said JUI was a beneficiary of the loots of corrupt Nigerian politicians and that was why JUI was asking for rebuttals from Buhari. The honest TRUTH was that JUI didn't know Buhari very well; and interestingly, Buhari himself eventually performed the rebuttals and he was persuasive in JUI's assessment. If Nebu can show us any of JUI's pre-2013 statement that suggested hatred for Buhari, JUI will donate $1,000 to Nebu's favorite Charity!

3. True History of JUI's support for Buhari: The accurate records would reveal that JUI started embracing Buhari from 2013 when it became clear after 2 years that: (a) Jonathan was CLUELESS about Nigerian security and development; (b) ACN and CPC were merging into a mega-party [APC] that could form a serious and stable Govt in Nigeria, and could provide an alternate to PDP; and [c] Buhari was beginning to embrace the reality that only a democratic, multi-regional party anchored on democratic principles could win a presidential election in Nigeria. In addition, Buhari was taking the vital steps to dispelling the accusations of authoritarianism, tyrannical and religious/regional bigotry against him. So Nebu's insinuation on several occasions in this forum that Jimi Lawal and Mallam Nasir el-Rufai bribed JUI to start supporting Buhari few months to the 2015 presidential election, has no iota of truth in it. JUI was already in Buhari's corner in Summer of 2013 when Jonathan started pursuing his re-election rather then showing a leadership vision for security and development to Nigerians. Check the RECORDS!

Lastly, the records would show that JUI has NEVER called Nebu a gay or criminal, even when the point was made that the name Nebukadineze Adiele was not found anywhere among contemporary human records out of Africa. Besides, Bill Clinton had a drug abuser(s) in his family even as he spoke against drug abuse; and VP Cheney has a Gay/Lesbian in his family even as he publicly announced his lack of support for Gay/Lesbianism. So no right-thinking or serious-minded observer would consider it hypocritical for these leaders to express their opinions about criminality or sexual orientation just because their families had such issues. Furthermore, it's perhaps a warped thought process to derail from presenting valid opposing ideas in a substantive debate and settle into innuendoes and insinuations that are used in an effort to blackmail opponents into silence or cause provocations that don't enrich the ideas reservoir of the debate. It's rather childish, juvenile and unintellectual. And this is where JUI will rest his case on this issue.

Take care

JUI

JUI,

You said “ Trump's oxymoronic communication style, tell us what else.“

JUI, can you say in Nigeria - Buhari’s oxymoronic communication style, ...

If you can say that in Nigeria, please give us example of Mohammadu Buhari’s OXYMORONIC COMMUNICATION STYLE.

JUI, why do you feel the need to INSULT President Trump and not feel the compunction of being thrown in jail for INSULTING President Trump? Is it due to the FACT that President Trump “govern” the country under Rule of Law? While, Mohammadu Buhari, your “Prophet”, governs OUTSIDE The Law, as with the case of IMPRISONING the just released from jail, Sowore, CHARGED for “insulting” Mohammadu Buhari.  

Yep! Insulting Mohammadu Buhari, Hehehehehe!!!

JUI, and the rest of you, you know who you are - please stop attacking President Trump, every American do not appreciate such EQUIVALENCE that you make with President Trump to an Army General disguised in CIVILIAN Clothing and calling himself ELECTED by the people when even Buhari’s own INEC election rigging cannot document 10% of the voting population voting for the presidency. That is 1 out of 10 Nigerians DID NOT vote for Buhari and he won according to INEC. Hehehe!

JUI tells us, does Mohammadu Buhari has ANY oxymoronic communication style, ...?

This, the people want to know!

Did you notice how you introduced job and joblessness into this conversation? If I take it up or further, you would turn around and whine that I came after your job. Did you also notice that you didn't refute anything I wrote, including bursting your lie that you were supporting Buhari as far back as 2013? If you thought that I was going to hold you to that grandiose bet of $1000.00 to my charity, you must not know Nebukadineze from our interactions of these forums over the years -- you should know if you were adept at character judging. 

I don't know it all, I err like any other human being, but I know things that I am good at; writing and logic are some of them. You might be a rocket scientist of chlamydia, but writing, reading, and logic are weak links of yours. I am conscious of every word I write down, that's why when Bantus like you distort me, I break things down. Most are so humble enough that they either admit to having misunderstood me or exit the conversation; arrogant empty suits like you push on with vacuousness after vacuousness, moving and obscuring the debating line, and resorting to slurring until you ignored or shamed with superiority on whatever evasive angle they turned on, as in this case. I think that your PhD so got into your head that you assume that you are Einstein, so that jumping into things you are stark illiterate of is an unconscious braggadocio in affirmation of your imaginary superiority over everyone. You can only get away with that in an environment that I am absent. I implored you multiple times from the onset that we ignored this conversation in the spirit of the season but you would not budge; you must have forgotten that I am not doing anything now but enjoying myself. You had to bring us to the ordinary before you bowed out? Even at bowing out, you were mercurial, cunning, and ungracious. 

Bye, JUI, and enjoy the rest of your stay at Agenebode.

Since all of Nebu's positions and insinuations are ok with him but he either re-words/denies everything he says or refuses to accept the factual positions of other people, Nebu has the last word on this issue.

When some people tell you that you lie too much, you go bunkers....

Now, consider the following contortions and bizarre anomalies from you. (JUI)

It's weird that you began your piece with a lie. I don't go "bunkers" [bonkers] when people falsely accuse me of lying, I rather dress them down while proving their accusation false. I might be heated in addressing them but if your understanding of my method is going "bunkers" [bonkers], I won't dispute you since that is to the best of your intelligence. That you didn't understand a statement does not mean that the statement is contorted and full of bizarre anomalies, assuming that you understand the meanings of contortion, bizarre, and anomaly. There is no contortion in what you excerpted of me in your #1, if you insist there is, prove it. 

• If the foregoing statement is not one of the greatest double-talking in Trump's oxymoronic communication style, tell us what else. First of all, your withdrawal of support for Buhari has to be either FACTUALLY GRADUAL or OVERNIGHT [SUDDEN]; it cannot be both. (JUI)

You cannot misunderstand something you read but then turn around to falsely accuse the writer of having not communicated appropriately. There is absolutely no oxymoron or double talk in what you excerpted of me -- in fact, I seriously doubt that you understand the meanings of those words. What you excerpted of me summarized three messages I had stated in my piece #4 to you. To wit: (i) I gradually withdraw from Buhari. (ii) the withdrawal was about policy/ideas. (iii) Assuming we accepted that I withdrew my support from him suddenly/overnight, as you keep repeating, there is nothing on earth that forbids me to so do. I had made those points over and over, yet you kept repeating your silly insinuation, instead of debunking me with facts, if you had any. To draw your attention to how illogical you were being, I purposely deployed the tautology, "repeated over and over". It did draw your attention, it confused you into egregiously distorting my message. How pitiful, JUI?

• And the records would show that your explosion of biliousness on Buhari started just few months after his election in 2015. He was just beginning to make appointments. JUI recollects that when some people initially complained about the appointments, they were told that there were more appointments on the way, and they should be patient because all regions and ethnic groups in the country would be represented as mandated by the Constitution. The point is that a longstanding supporter of Buhari that we thought Nebu was couldn't have turned on him so SUDDENLY.....no benefit of the doubts based on the long-term acquaintance of knowledge og the Guy; HABA! So will continue to tell you that your twisted explanations are not compelling.....keep trying!! (JUI)

You lied for the second time in the above. You have not disproved my claim that the 97/5% speech was the first discomfort I had with president Buhari, so we agree on that. Now, had you consulted the record, you would have found out that he made that speech in July of 2015, 4 months before he announced his cabinet. You lied that I unleashed an "explosion of biliousness on Buhari" over appointments. There had been rumblings over his appointment of aides other than Ministers. Those we had fought off on the claim that Buhari was a sectional Islamist were pointing out the he was appointing only Northern Muslim men. That alarmed me because he was playing into the hands of those who had traduced him over sectionalism and sexism. I remember Bolaji Aluko telling people that there were over a thousand more appointments to be made, to which a I reminded him that it still did not excuse the lopsidedness of the appointments so far made; in a multi-ethnic and multi-religion country, it is divisive of an elected president to appoint his aides only from his own section of the country and his own religion. 

I am not like you folks who ignore a wrong doing simply because it is being perpetrated by a politician or persons you support. Wrong doing is wrong doing, irrespective of who perpetrates it. President Buhari was my candidate and he was doing something wrong in appointing aides in a manner that could trigger strife in the country (that was what started the civil war in South Sudan), I had an obligation to register my disagreement with it in a debate and I did so. I registered that disagreement in disputing the excuse that Bolaji made, not in unleashing an "explosion of biliousness on Buhari". I challenge you to excerpt me going off on Buhari over that if you insist on this lie. 

• Realize that JUI has stated here again and again that he didn't know Buhari well.... so when we started reading some of the criticisms and labeling about Buhari and some of you were complaining, JUI's opinion was that Buhari himself should dispel the accusations, not just his supporters......The honest TRUTH was that JUI didn't know Buhari very well; and interestingly, Buhari himself eventually performed the rebuttals and he was persuasive in JUI's assessment. If Nebu can show us any of JUI's pre-2013 statement that suggested hatred for Buhari, JUI will donate $1,000 to Nebu's favorite Charity......True History of JUI's support for Buhari: The accurate records would reveal that JUI started embracing Buhari from 2013.....Buhari was taking the vital steps to dispelling the accusations of authoritarianism, tyrannical and religious/regional bigotry against him. So Nebu's insinuation on several occasions in this forum that Jimi Lawal and Mallam Nasir el-Rufai bribed JUI to start supporting Buhari few months to the 2015 presidential election, has no iota of truth in it. JUI was already in Buhari's corner in Summer of 2013 when Jonathan started pursuing his re-election rather then showing a leadership vision for security and development to Nigerians. Check the RECORDS! (JUI)

If I checked the record, it would prove that you lied mostly in your claim above. Buhari never took any steps to defend himself personally because it was well understood by his supporters and handlers that he was a poor and polarizing speaker, so the strategy adopted by his handlers was to prevent him from shooting himself on the foot or giving his opponents the opportunity to distort whatever he said. I dare you to cite one instance when Buhari spoke for himself and clarified anything in the degree you claimed. 

I insist that you didn't start supporting Buhari until you returned from Nigeria in early 2015. I can't access my record from here (naija) but I cite just one email you wrote in October 2014. Atiku Abubakar had said, inter alia, “I believe that the next president of our country, who by the grace of God will be produced by our great party, must be someone who is a unifier, bridge-builder and not someone who bears ethno-religious bias. Above all, he must embody a vision of a Nigeria for all.” (http://nigeriavillagesquare.com/forum/threads/apc-presidential-aspirant-atiku-takes-a-swipe-at-buhari-on-his-ethnoreligious-bias.85410/). To the above, you responded:

• In a message dated 10/3/2014 10:51:22 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, jigie...@gmail.com writes:
• Let’s hear how the militant Buharists react to this headline! Where is Nebu Adiele, Barrister Okoi Obla, My Broda Pete Opara etc? Let's hear the Ogbunigbes and abuses raining on Atiku.........Hehehehe!!!
• As Aliyu Bala Aliyu said this morning: ""Well, I hope the Buhari PR guys and image makers are on standby to counter this and many more. And lest they forget, Atiku and company have just started. They will get dirtier as events unfold...And for heavens sake, rather than always countering Buhari's traducers [with abuses, expletives and yabis], isn't it about time they (his image handlers) proactively portrayed him in the best of lights?""" JUI endorsed that counsel whole-heartedly!  Take care. JUI

In the above, you didn't call on Buhari to defend himself, you called on his supporters; you endorsed Atiku's expectation that APC would not nominate a religious bigot [Buhari] who would divide the Nigerian people; you also endorsed Aliyu Bala Aliyu's supposition that Atiku's gang had more ammunition to destroy Buhari over his perception as a tyrant, a sectionalist, and an Islamist. You wouldn't hold those views had you been supporting Buhari as from 2013 as you lied, JUI.

Drug abuse is a formed habit, which becomes addictive and destructive. Bill Clinton was not condemning or rejecting drug abusers, he was only asking those who have not gone into it to never go into it because it destroys families. There is no comparison between being gay and being a drug addict, gay people were born gay for no choice of theirs, that's what I believe now -- there are gay drug addicts too. Dick Cheney never rejected his gay daughter or is opposed to lesbianism as you claimed, he is only opposed to gay marriage -- folks know that he was saying that just to appease his conservative political constituency. He accepted his daughter and her lover and they steadily spent time at the VP residence; she and her lover are involved in the Cheney family in the same degree that his elder daughter (Liz) and her husband are involved in the family. 

The two analogies you drew are flat out irrelevant. The hypocrisy is a father of a gay person joining ignoramuses to belittle gay people, instead of getting educated about gay people. I was as ignorant and disdainful of gay people as most of you until that incident with that young lady -- that I narrated. I began to believe that people were born gay from watching that girl from when she moved into our neighborhood at age 8, when her mother died and her aunt (our then neighbor) took her in. I never saw her hang with girls, wear dresses, or not play with boys as roughly as they played. When she lost the opportunity to get into West Point, simply because she had written on MySpace (there was no Facebook then) that she was "bi" (I didn't even know what that meant then), it dawned on me that gay people were actually mistreated based on their nature. At the same time, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Constitutional Court was striking down laws made against gay people and gay marriage, so I educated myself about gay people. When some of you tried to insult me for defending their right on these forums, I took solace in the fact that civil right leaders of old had suffered real insults compared to your ignorant insults. When you joined them to doing the insult, I shook my head at your hypocrisy and ignorance; outing your family was to expose your hypocrisy, not to demonstrate that something is wrong with your gay offspring. There are no perfect human being or family, so you Bantus should stop acting like you are better than anyone, out of ignorance. When you act that way, you can be impeached with your imperfection exposed. Anyway, all those are bygones now, stop reviving them flippantly.

Nebu,

JUI has said y're The Man!

Logic and writing are among your STRENGTHS......at least, we all know that from your contributions in this forum. However, according to you, it appears you also know that JUI may have knowledge strength elsewhere, call it biomedical science or any of your mis-characterized labels. But can we INDEPENDENTLY verify the identity of Nebukadineze Adiele or his other expertise elsewhere outside the Naija eforums? Only God or whatever Maker you believe in knows that...…..So, if Nebu does not realize that being Man Enough to Be Oneself within and outside Naija eforums regardless of one's imperfections is a MAJOR DIFFERENCE between him and JUI, there's no doubt that other forumites know that!

In the apt epilogue of Mazi Chuks Agwunobi, that's where JUI will End his case! SHIKIENA!!

[Jerome Niang Yakubu, SE., PE.]

Afis,

As I dey ILORIN, Kwara State, NIGERIA for the Year-End and New-Year festivities, I GREET-AM YOU AND ALL MY READERS .... I wish you all a very HAPPY and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2020.

I have been here since December 18, before CHRISTMAS, but it took me a while to convert my laptop to be KEROSENE-OPERATED because NEPA still means 'NEVER EXPECT POWER ALWAYS', especially in the OWU region of Ogun State, Nigeria where my hired FULANI HERDSMEN are currently grazing the God-given land, which belongs to EVERY NIGERIAN, be him an EGBA MAN or FULANI.

Afis,

After I got my laptop up and running, I logged into the Iyanminrin-populated Naija forums.

To my dismay, our most popular Iyanminrin Igbos in the forums are SINGING LIKE CANARY, exposing who is a FAKE who among them.

I am getting to know who is actually an IYAMINRIN IGBO floating himself here with a YOROBA name, but none of those bastards can even write a WORD of YOROBA language.

Canice Stanley Onuorah, as AGBA-IYA as he is, wrote:

Kayode Adebayo is actually an Igbo man. His name is Alphonsus Ugomba.. He is from Amaigbo, Orlu, Imo state.  He masquerades here as a Yoruba and lampoons anything Igbo in the process. His aim is to bring disharmony among the two genial nations of Igbo and Yoruba. The same above goes for Femi Olajide. Femi Olajide is O.J. Ebohon; an Ishan in Edo state. He also masquerades here as a Yoruba with a sole purpose of causing g riots among the two cooperating nations of Igbo land and Yoruba land. .... Ejo ni Mushin - Prince

I am waiting for that day, when Canice Onuorah will come out confessing that he is actually who we already know he is, as snaky as he may think he is.

Then,

NEBU, as BANTU as his Iyanminrin IGBO ass is, EXPOSED stories about his own son's sexuality, (copied from below):

In a different debate about gay right, you and a bunch of hooligans led by JC Lawal, asserted that I was either gay or had a gay child (I had told the story of the young lady, my son's childhood friend and academic competitor, who had to withdraw her admission to West Point because investigators not only believed that she violated "Don't ask, don't tell" by writing in MySpace that she was "bi", but that she had also misled them by withholding that information during the face to face interviews. My son who is straight and her academic competitor went straight without any hindrance (he's a Captain today) and this incident woke me up to the injustice that gay people face, so I began to defend their right to equal treatment because I was sure the young lady was born gay -- she was always like a boy from age 8 when I first met her). The moment you joined those bums to falsely accuse me of being gay, it became germane for me to use information on the public domain to redirect the audience to the Nigerian family with a gay offspring. You have to be dishonest, irrational, paranoid, or stupid to construe my conduct as investigating your family.

Afis,

You know what? ....

I may as well join them by EXPOSING you too.

Afis is actually AFIS DEHINDE, a NIGERIAN.

He is a long time resident of New York City, he is no more a New York resident because New Yorkers refused to elect him as a Local Government Chairman, a position with a lot of 'Egunje'.

You will find Afis in the State of Florida, anywhere in that state, where the BIGGEST and BADDEST alligators, anacondas and pythons are found.

But be very careful,

Should in case Afis owes you money and you feel it is necessary to chase him around. Look left and right (3 times) before you cross the road chasing Afis around, you may miss-road bad-bad.

Florida has some bad-ass alligators  and Anacondas, I won't mention the pythons. In Florida, they are used practically as HOME SECURITY GUARDS just like you see others use their pit-bull dogs in other American cities ....

Those alligators, anacondas and pythons are BAD-ASSES, they don't marginalize Iyanminrins or anybody at all ....

Enough said, figure things out yourself.

I will be here in ILORIN for three months or so.

It is important that I establish my own CATTLE BREEDING business in Nigeria as soon as RUGA happens in 2020.

I need to employ some AK-56 packing FULANI HERDSMEN brothers, who will be brave enough to ENTER EKITI STATE and mow some lawn.

Guess what?

Do you know that NOBODY ever mention the word 'biafra' anywhere here in Nigeria?

Please tell Abraham Madu HO! HA! to get a life.

Remain blessed, everyone.

Start the new year 2020 with love for everybody in mind.

Please enter the new year SMILING, smiling will reduce the WRINKLES on your faces.

Consider these forums as a PLAYGROUND not a BATTLEGROUND.

Ask yourself .....

By how many inches have GOD uplifted your life in 2019 for all the HATRED you perpetrated on other fellow human beings? .... NADA, ZERO, NONE .... Abi I lie?

I am Jerome Niang yakubu, S.E., P.E.

Be him in AMERICA or in NAIJA, Jerome will always be the same Niang Yakubu, S.E., P.E.

Yep! Insulting Mohammadu Buhari, Hehehehehe!!!

JUI, and the rest of you, you know who you are - please stop attacking President Trump, every American do not appreciate such EQUIVALENCE that you make with President Trump to an Army General disguised in CIVILIAN Clothing and calling himself ELECTED by the people when even Buhari’s own INEC election rigging cannot document 10% of the voting population voting for the presidency.

2. """If I were as illogical as you are being, I would insinuate that El-rufai and Jimi Lawal paid you to start singing Buhari's praises after you had been a virulent hater of him for decades -- you made that U-turn after returning from Nigeria in 2015, a few months to the election. """...…………..Unquote: Nebu!

Nebu, you don't need to moderate your regular insinuation in these forums that Jimi Lawal and el-Rufai bribed JUI to support Buhari. Realize that JUI has stated here again and again that he didn't know Buhari well because he was just leaving Nigeria when Buhari became the Head of State from 1984-1985; so when we started reading some of the criticisms and labeling about Buhari and some of you were complaining, JUI's opinion was that Buhari himself should dispel the accusations, not just his supporters. However, Nebu wont even allow for such a request. Nebu said JUI was asking for Buhari's rebuttals because JUI must have believed that there could be any truth in whatever the accusers were saying about Buhari. Nebu said JUI was a beneficiary of the loots of corrupt Nigerian politicians and that was why JUI was asking for rebuttals from Buhari. The honest TRUTH was that JUI didn't know Buhari very well; and interestingly, Buhari himself eventually performed the rebuttals and he was persuasive in JUI's assessment. If Nebu can show us any of JUI's pre-2013 statement that suggested hatred for Buhari, JUI will donate $1,000 to Nebu's favorite Charity!

3. True History of JUI's support for Buhari: The accurate records would reveal that JUI started embracing Buhari from 2013 when it became clear after 2 years that: (a) Jonathan was CLUELESS about Nigerian security and development; (b) ACN and CPC were merging into a mega-party [APC] that could form a serious and stable Govt in Nigeria, and could provide an alternate to PDP; and [c] Buhari was beginning to embrace the reality that only a democratic, multi-regional party anchored on democratic principles could win a presidential election in Nigeria. In addition, Buhari was taking the vital steps to dispelling the accusations of authoritarianism, tyrannical and religious/regional bigotry against him. So Nebu's insinuation on several occasions in this forum that Jimi Lawal and Mallam Nasir el-Rufai bribed JUI to start supporting Buhari few months to the 2015 presidential election, has no iota of truth in it. JUI was already in Buhari's corner in Summer of 2013 when Jonathan started pursuing his re-election rather then showing a leadership vision for security and development to Nigerians. Check the RECORDS!

Lastly, the records would show that JUI has NEVER called Nebu a gay or criminal, even when the point was made that the name Nebukadineze Adiele was not found anywhere among contemporary human records out of Africa. Besides, Bill Clinton had a drug abuser(s) in his family even as he spoke against drug abuse; and VP Cheney has a Gay/Lesbian in his family even as he publicly announced his lack of support for Gay/Lesbianism. So no right-thinking or serious-minded observer would consider it hypocritical for these leaders to express their opinions about criminality or sexual orientation just because their families had such issues. Furthermore, it's perhaps a warped thought process to derail from presenting valid opposing ideas in a substantive debate and settle into innuendoes and insinuations that are used in an effort to blackmail opponents into silence or cause provocations that don't enrich the ideas reservoir of the debate. It's rather childish, juvenile and unintellectual. And this is where JUI will rest his case on this issue.

Take care

First of all, it is not unheard of within refined minds that people who were on the same ideological platform could depart ideological over time or even suddenly. In a different thread, I gave two instances of Scaramucci and Coulter, two ardent supporters of President Trump (and who wrote two best seller books on Trump) but who are today among the sharpest critics of Trump. Another one is George Conway, who introduced his wife to Trump (and she managed his campaign into victory) and remains his closest confidant till today. Yet Mr Conway became anti Trump once Trump began to showcase: xenophobia, romances with bigots, collusion with Russia, etc. It didn't take long after Trump became president for Conway to go from his ardent supporter to his sharpest critic. As I write, he is the most vitriolic critic of Trump, up to calling for his removal from office and setting up a committee to ensure that elected GOP Reps.. and Senators who have ignored the US Constitution to defend Trump are defeated at the next election. 

Nebu should realize by now that some people in these forums are not kids to be tossed up and down on these issues; we have our facts and we use them. Throwing Ogbwunigbe grammar and abuses or threats and blackmails here and there wont work......

Nebu Adiele,

Your mixture of yabbis, stroking and fawning will never have boundaries.....anyway, it appears that you can't help it....

Note the following:

1. What's the deal with Hausa and Awusa slurs? We SERIOUSLY need to elevate our language use as we all gain in ages, experience, and awareness of the vanity meaning of life.....Hausas are Africans like Edos and Ndiigbo; is that not a fact? And have you not heard about the Edoid backgroud of most Agenebode people, although y'll fine different communities [Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani, Igbirra, Igalla, Ijaw etc] at Agenebode; inter-marriages have also produced several hybrid Agenebodeans, ALL AGENEBODEANS! The photo you say was taken after the Christmas church service at the Catholic church JUI received Confirmation in the 70s. Check the background and y'll see more people....

2. Agenebode has both very active and vibrant night and Day life....the very few incidents of auto accidents, robberies or kidnapping in the past have been reduced to almost ZERO in recent times.. My children who came to spend Christmas at home have been driving around by themselves, even to neighboring villages [wish the roads are better maintained...], day and nite. It's rock-N-Roll everywhere …….village  festivals, masquerades, group parties, burials, celebrations, reunions etc....

Nebu, come on down with your Relaxation Cottage project; Agenebodeans will welcome you as they ALWAYS do! After all, we've all been expecting the Idah-Agenebode Nigeria Niger Bridge for several decades......although still hopeful, nothing is happening yet......as you know, Nigerian Govt leaders can be very UNSERIOUS about infrastructural development....

Finally, JUI is ALWAYS very RELAXED at AGENEBODE....That's HOME! JUI has not missed Christmas at Agenebode for over 20 years......y're invited any time but JUI has to know who to welcome to Agenebode.......so Post Your Photo and you have JUI's word that y'll have a safe pass to and through Agenebode any time.....in fact, JUI'll be at a wedding later today between an Agenebodean Guy and an Owerri Damsel both residing in the Dallas TX area.....if you come, you may find one of your Owerri folks here...but not sure Abiodun will be here though....arrrsh…..haha!

It is great to visit home periodically, despite the risks--I have an armed to the teeth military orderly; I paid for his services but I cant guarantee if the money went into the military's coffers or into a commander's. You look relaxed and unperturbed by any security concerns in Agenebode, that's enviable. Not even the stench of the fertilizer factory borders you, JUI? Maybe I should come put up a relaxation cottage in Agenebode, what do you think? 

Merry Christmas, bro.

Press Statement-

-------------------

IPOB, Sowore, And The Audacity Of A Primitive Dictator

By SKC Ogbonnia

December 30, 2019

 

Once a dictator, as a military Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari sought democratic power, preaching change; and we embraced him, believing that nothing could be worse than the regime of Goodluck Jonathan. But we are finding out the hard way: the obvious change the Nigerian people have seen since Buhari came back to power is a change to a “next level” of dictatorship that is wildly uncouth and acutely primitive to relate to the genius of changing times and its digital age.

 

Buhari’s freefall, or rather his renewed dictatorship, is traced squarely to the time he disavowed his oath of office by deploying the worst form of political vendetta against the Eastern Nigeria for the simple reason that the people voted en masse for their native son in 2015 elections, similar to the electoral gesture accorded to Buhari himself by his native North in 2003, 2007,  2011, 2015, and 2019 electoral cycles. This apparent warpath heightened a call for secession and the tacit support given by the East to the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) led by Nnamdi Kanu. After all, different forms of Biafran movement had existed in every administration in the current Fourth Republic, from Obasanjo, Yar’Adua, to Jonathan.  

 

Instead of dialogue, as accorded other dissident groups, including even the Boko Haram, Buhari isolated the crisis as an Igbo palaver and thence pounced on the IPOB with brute force. I quickly admonished the President that his move was “nothing but a scheme to rekindle the zeitgeist of the Biafran war—hoping to regain his waning popularity within our party and the nation at large.” There I reminded him that the Nigeria of 1967 is not the Nigeria of today.

 

Yet, General Buhari did not listen. Rather, he declared the Biafran activists as terrorists. It is worth saying, however, that while the president was busy “crushing” the Biafran activists with land army, he gleefully condoned the deadly Fulani Herdsmen, an organization recognized worldwide as a terrorist group since 2014.

 

It didn’t take long before a legion of Nigerians in the Diaspora, some of who may not necessarily subscribe to the style or visions of IPOB but are conscious of the scale of injustice in the homeland, were provoked to unleash a worldwide campaign that sufficiently painted Buhari as a dictator and bigot. And the world took note! The toll of the IPOB crisis on national economy, particularly with foreign investment, is well chronicled.

 

Upon his being sworn in for the second term, I followed with an innocent piece: “Second Term: A Leadership Lesson Buhari Must Learn”. Here is an excerpt:

 

“The days are gone when the Nigerian government can preach justice abroad, while promoting injustice at home. The inconvenient truth is that the country now boasts of millions of independent ambassadors, strategically entrenched in all the nooks and crannies of the world, who tell it as it is. Some of these Diaspora Nigerians have also become Biblical Josephs of sort and thus play influential roles in the nation’s foreign exchange, foreign trade, foreign investment, the media, as well as other socio-economic relationships. Needless to remind us that the same Josephs are the leading block contributors to the yearly amount of foreign money remitted to Nigeria, which is ironically more than the national budget. As they go, so goes the national image and much more.”

 

But an Igbo adage goes that the sickness that typically kills a dog hardly allows it to perceive the odour of faeces. Thus, the biggest news out of Nigeria since Buhari assumed second term has been the morbid audacity to frame and detain Omoyele Sowore, a renowned anti-corruption and human rights activist, journalist, and his opponent in the 2019 presidential election. Sowore’s sin remains the term #RevolutionNow”, a mere plan to protest against bad governance in his homeland. But the Buhari regime would charge him for treasonable felony.

 

I warned of the consequences, noting that “Only a poon ignores the potential of the heavily funded but regional IPOB, with a worldwide membership, fusing with a broad-based national outfit like #RevolutionNow” The president countered with a mundane temerity of deploying the trio of Ministry of Information, Ministry of External Affairs, and the Nigerian Diaspora Commission to peddle false information on Sowore to the international community. Not surprisingly, Buhari could not recognize that, besides the Nigerians in the Diaspora and social media; the ever-vibrant Nigerian press and the core of the Nigerian Civil Society now have global reach.

 

Today, Nnamdi Kanu, the “terrorist”, is celebrated in the international community as a paragon of justice. Today, Omoyele Sowore, the “coupist”, is seen worldwide as a mystical mixture of conviction, courage, and stoicism in the course of the Nigerian liberation. Today, the General and his brigade are on the run, with Buhari once again widely viewed as a maximum dictator and the most lawless leader Nigeria has ever known. The stubborn tsetse fly, we say, follows the corpse to the grave.

 

 

SKC Ogbonnia, a 2019 APC presidential aspirant, is the author of the Effective Leadership Formula.

[iguana WI]

SKC you don come again with your FALSE PROPAGANDA designed to benefit you notwithstanding your conflicted interests in Nigeria. To know that you, SKC, ran for the Presidency only reminds me how NoCertificate the office of presidency is in Nigeria at this TIME of our democratic dispensation.

Since I don’t have a lot of time to waste fighting you for expressing your own personal opinions, I will only DEBUNK your nonsense about JONA and PROVE the inadequacy of your opening paragraph.

You said “ Once a dictator, as a military Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari sought democratic power, preaching change; and we embraced him, believing that nothing could be worse than the regime of Goodluck Jonathan. But we are finding out the hard way: the obvious change the Nigerian people have seen since Buhari came back to power is a change to a “next level” of dictatorship that is wildly uncouth and acutely primitive to relate to the genius of changing times and its digital age.”

Now here is the rebuttal:

Mohammadu Buhari is a DICTATOR when he ran for office for the entire 16 years he did with borrowed money. So, only in DELUSION would some say “Once a dictator, ...” when Muhammadu Buhari is and has been ALWAYS a DESPOT, world renowned Despot when he “sought democratic power, preaching change”.

If the truth be told from my perspective -  ONLY Buffoons, Fools, and Prospective LOOTERS chose NOT to see the evidence or true color of Buhari because they were thinking they want their own chance to LOOT since they THINK JONA was “looting”, confusing a BOOMING economy with a looting economy. Now, that they are NOT invited to the looting jamborees now going on under Prophet Buhari -amounting to trillions of dollars of loaned money upon Nigeria for generations to repay, they write that they would not have “embraced” Buhari had they known any better. This is Poppycock!!!

What is Poppycock? “... believing that nothing could be worse than the regime of Goodluck Jonathan.”

Well, you know now that Buhari’s government is the DARKEST today in Nigeria’s History. 

Buhari’s RECORDS is that of bringing DARKNESS to Nigeria. Buhari brought darkness to Nigeria when he rose to POWER by DESECRATING a REPUBLIC ”DULY ELECTED” Political Government of President SHAGARI. Now, Buhari has BASTARDIZED the accomplishments of JONA and people like SKC writes PRESS RELEASES garbage to tell us we did not know that Buhari would be WORST. 

Not true!

Millions of Nigerians KNEW EXACTLY that what is happening today in Nigeria would happen if and only if Buhari was RIGGED into office, and he was indeed RIGGED into the presidency by a “TRUST”.

And that TRUST is the BENEFICIARY of President NoCertificate administration which is not benefiting the likes of SKC

SKC please run for CONGRESS in 2023 because that is a good fit for you, and where you can REPRESENT your SE region I hope for the good of the people there!

JUI,

I heard it, from usually reliable sources, that Abiodun is a regular visitor to Agenebode. If he ever finds Nebu there, there may be more trouble than you can handle o. Even though I will be arriving in Lagos on December 31, I have to be back to DC on January 10. Given my tight schedule in the SW, I will not be able to go further East than Ado Ekiti. So I wish you more fun at home and a Happy New Year.

Nebu Adiele,

Your mixture of yabbis, stroking and fawning will never have boundaries.....anyway, it appears that you can't help it....

Not the following:

1. What's the deal with Hausa and Awusa slurs? You need to elevate your language you as we all gain in ages, experience, awareness and vanity meaning of life....Hausas are Africans like Edos and Ndiigbo; is that not a fact? And have you not heard about the Edoid backgroudof most Agenebode people, although y'll fine different communities [Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani, Igbirra, Igalla, Ijaw etc] at Agenebode; inter-marriages have also produced several hybrid Agenebodeans, ALL AGENEBODEANS! The photo you say was taken after the Christmas church service at the Catholic church JUI received Confirmation in the 70s. Check the background and y'll see more people....

2. Agenebode has both very active and vibrant night and Day life....very few incidents of auto accidents, robberies or kidnapping in the past have been reduced to almost ZERO in recent times. My children who came to spend Christmas at home have been driving around by themselves, even to neighboring villages [wish the roads are better maintained...], day and nite. It/s rock-N-Roll everywhere …….village  festivals, masquerades, group parties, burials, celebrations, reunions etc....

Nebu, come on down with your Relaxation Cottage project; Agenebodeans will welcome you as they ALWAYS do! After all, we've all been expecting the Idah-Agenebode Nigeria Niger Bridge for several decades......although still hopeful, nothing is happening yet......as you know, Nigerian Govt leaders can be very UNSERIOUS about infrastructural development....

Finally, JUI is ALWAYS very RELAXED at AGENEBODE....That's HOME! JUI has not missed Christmas at Agenebode for over 20 years......y're invited any time but JUI has to know who to welcome......so Post Your Photo and you have JUI's word that y'll have a safe pass to and through Agenebode any time.....in fact, JUI'll be at a wedding later today between an Agenebodean Guy and an Owerri Damsel both residing in the Dallas TX area.....if you come, you may find one of your Owerri folks here...but not sure Abiodun will be here though....arrrsh…..haha!

Take care

JUI

By the way, JUI, the second picture you sent from Agenebode didn’t come out right—it was not retrievable, it appeared like something in an extinct application. Can you send it again?

Happy New Year to everyone.

Prof Adeboye,

As our revered sage, please be straight with us: are you skipping Agenebode and all the sumptuous fresh fish because of time constraint or because of Abiodun? Haha......

It appears that the fear of Abiodun is the beginning of wisdom......Don't you see how Nebu has been issuing blistering abuses on JUI because he thought JUI was enticing him with the nuptial between an Agenebodean Prince and a Beautiful Owerri Damsel, and would invite him to face Abiodun AGAIN? Hahaha...….W'all know that Nebu does not want to face Abiodun AGAIN….Never! Who want die for Madman hand and tell his God that carelessness resulted in a premature return to Heaven? So as usual, Nebu MIS-JUDGED JUI's olive branch again......mmmmhmm!

Anyway sha, God knows that Agenebode is devoid of Abioduns...…...JUI is assuring EVERYONE; all of JUI's children who came home for the Xmas holidays are driving around Agenebode communities, beaches, to Fugar, Auchi, Uromi, Agbor and even Benin everyday, freely and PEACEFULLY! The IMPROVED NEPA light service complemented JUI's solar and generator light supply very well.....And so the Happy XMas Holiday with 90+ Old Grandma is MARVELOUS!

Take care

JUI

Brother Dan,

It's New Year, don't take EVERYTHING you hear to the bank without the proof...

Nebu has told us too many bizarre stories about himself and other people or circumstances that we're actually Disney World stuffs...fantasies!

So on this very PEACEFUL, improved electricity service holiday season in Nigeria (excluding the terrible roads & horrible traffic), Nebu has to be Nwoke Enough to show us his photo & the armed escorts before JUI will believe him ooo...haha!

Happy New Year, ja-re...

HABA Dan,

You asked Nebu why he would need armed escorts. What do you want him to do if Abiodun gets to know about Nebu being in the country?Please be fair o.

Dr. JUI,

I wrote about “Abiodun” just to “scare” Nebu. I know that Agenebode is safe. My mom used to go there a-trading when I was a little boy and she would bring back many goodies. Also, one of my fellow new entrants to UI in 1963 had the name Agwunede. We all decided that with that name he had to have come from Agenebode. He would only smile in “protest” saying he was from Bembe. Incorrigible as we were, we continued to call him Agwunede of Agenebode, the Prince of Bembe. And he would flash back a wide smile. 

What happy times!

Let’s all try to turn a new leaf this new year. We can always surely and strongly disagree without being maliciously disagreeable. Please send my ration of freshwater fish by text.😀

Happy New Year,

Adeniran Adeboye

E ka-ro o, Egbon Prof Adeboye#

JUI is just waking up for the 2020 New Year...these are the outlooks out of Agenebode at this time:

*One of my Boys is witnessing how the cow is being handled humanely & cleaned/cooked for the New Year; he missed the Christmas handling of the first cow....you know the details by your vast imaginations.....haha....

*Yes, we & everybody need to be CAREFUL in Nigeria, just like parts of Chicago, NYC etc.... but not at the scare-mongering level that some people portray the situation. Life still goes on in Nigeria; my children attended live shows, concerts etc in Lagos, as well as beach & nite parties at Agenebode....no incidents worth reporting.....fact!

*Some of JUI's folks/friends use the security escorts that Nebu mentioned; what JUI has also observed are the following:

(a) People use Security escorts when they're loaded with stuffs to take home or take around & they want smooth passage through the roads;

(b) Security escort users also travel every now & then without security escorts, but less flamboyantly.....this means it's not EVERY time people travel that they're attacked, robbed or kidnapped. And that's the fact....millions of Nigerians travel everyday without incidents....

*It's LAUGHABLE for anybody to say that not having a Nigerian driver's license is a cogent reason for not driving in Nigeria. First of all, most countries (I think including the US) allow visitors to drive with unexpired foreign driver's licenses for 30-90; this is how some foreigners are allowed to rent/drive cars abroad; also, Nigeria & several countries issue "International Driver's licenses" that allow people to drive abroad; in addition, several Nigerian private car owners/drivers don't even have/carry driver's licenses; they rely on "Officer, take this one buy drinks" to drive to anywhere they like. Furthetmore, even in the US, some of us do forget our wallets or driver's licenses at home or office once in a while; we still drive. So not carrying a Nigerian driver's license is not the reason most of us don't drive in Nigeria; it's mainly because of the rough roads, lack of knowledge of the terrain, the hassles, bad roads, etc. My children drive at Agenebode....it's not because incidents have not occurred at Agenebode; but it's not at the level of causing paranoia or phobia in the society such that people become afraid of their shadows or flying insects....as Nebu is presenting it...

*What else to "silence" Nebu? Haha... Yes, as JUI said previously, it appears that the fear of Abiodun is the beginning of wisdom...... Nebu is imagining Abiodun to be EVERYWHERE he goes in Owerri. Nebu also thinks there are Abioduns in every community in Nigeria and every Diasporan should be wrapped in a morbid fear of Abiodun-like entities parading the streets of Nigeria. 

Considering all the bizarre stories  Nebu has told us about himself and other people or circumstances that we're actually Disney World stuffs (fantasies) and this very PEACEFUL, improved electricity service holiday season in Nigeria (excluding the terrible roads & horrible traffic), Nebu has to be Nwoke Enough to show us his photo & the armed escorts before JUI will believe him ooo...haha!

Happy New Year, ja-re...

Take care

[SKC Ogbonnia]

Press Statement

-------------------------------------------------------------

Buhari And Electoral Reform: The Unspoken Truth

By SKC Ogbonnia

January 22, 2020

 

President Muhammadu Buhari deserves commendation for his new year pledge to reform Nigeria’s electoral process, but he should have gone further to admit that the exercise through which he was re-elected to a second term in office was grossly flawed. He should have equally confessed that, by law, the degree of irregularity in the 2019 presidential election ought to have landed both himself (Buhari) and his main opponent, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, in prison.

 

The problem is hinged on blatant violation of electoral campaign finance laws. Section 91 (1) of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) states that the “maximum election expenses to be incurred by a candidate at a Presidential election shall be one billion naira (N1,000,000,000)” while 91 (9) follows that “No individual or other entity shall donate more than one million naira (N1,000,000) to any candidate.” Section 124 is specific with bribery, yet different shades of world currencies, beguiling gifts and honorariums, and other eccentric monetary rewards defined 2019 presidential election campaigns.

 

It does not take a Rotimi Williams to prove that Buhari and Atiku were in clear breach of the aforementioned sections. These, of course, should have culminated to multiple convictions of “imprisonment for 12 months” as stipulated in the Electoral Act.

 

An apparent paradox, however, is that, even if Buhari and Atiku were to be barred and jailed in the process, lack of funding ostensibly made it impossible for any of the minor candidates to garner enough votes or the electoral spread to claim outright victory or to even  explore a second round of the election as required by the law.

 

The problem with campaign finance had remained unspoken, because it is as banal as Nigeria’s endemic corruption. This goes without saying that flouting campaign finance laws did not start in 2019 with Muhammadu Buhari and Atiku Abubakar. In short, most major party candidates since the 1999 transitional elections, from councilor to the presidency, including Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Yar’Adua, and Goodluck Jonathan, were as guilty, or even worse.

 

This explains why Attahiru Jega, the erstwhile chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), had to confess that, even though the Electoral Act empowers the commission to monitor sources and nature of funding, the “INEC does not even have a desk that handles campaign financing.” Jega remarked that significant improvement had been made since he came on board, but also prayed that future leadership should focus on strengthening internal party democracy and campaign money.

 

Unfortunately, however, the trajectory of electoral progress stalled under President Muhammadu Buhari. Of course, his latest promise to reform the system remains welcome, but such vow is far from novel. After all, not long after assuming democratic power, the president proclaimed in 2016 an eagerness to reform the same electoral laws. But he did just the opposite. Any objective book on 2019 elections is bound to chronicle how Buhari backpedaled the wheel of Nigeria’s democratic journey by refusing to sign into law new reforms to the Electoral Act, including campaign finance.

 

To that end, even the widely celebrated “Not Too Young To Run bill”, signed into law to reduce the age limit for standing electoral office in the country, became an exercise in futility. Apart from the children of the rich, who benefited from the bill during the 2019 electoral cycle; the very masses, including the ordinary youths, had no chance, as money determined who vied, who won, and who lost the elections.

 

The need to curb illegal money in Nigeria’s election campaign cannot be overstated, especially considering that the problem is central to elitist corruption. Therefore, as a president whose sole claim to power was to fight corruption, Buhari can still seize the moment and go forth to lay a strong foundation for clean money in Nigerian democracy, with special attention to serious consequences for violation of electoral laws.

 

A tenable way forward is to begin with sincerity of purpose. Buhari can borrow from the examples of Presidents Yar’Adua and Jonathan. Not only did Yar’Adua acknowledge that the process that brought him to power was tainted, he also did something about the problem, leading to an impartial INEC Chairman and the 2010 Electoral Act that followed. Jonathan went further to ensure the free and fair elections of 2015 that made it possible for the gladsome history in which a Nigerian opposition candidate defeated an incumbent president, even though he would become the sacrificial lamb.  Yes, good leaders make things better than how they met them.

 

So, where art thou, President Buhari?  Where art thou?

 

Here goes an opportunity to equally bequeath a memorable legacy by occasioning a revolutionary change. As I had promoted in the past, given that illegal campaign money in the country is explicitly or implicitly looted from the public treasury, Nigeria might as well adopt full public funding for inter-party elections. This proposal is well studied. It profoundly promotes the vitally essential competition component of democracy. It is consistent with the recommendations put forth by renowned organizations, such as the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA) and the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES). The proposal also mirrors the McCain-Feingold legislation in the United States of America—without the choice for individual contributions.

Mazi Ben Aduba,

If y'd checked, you would've found that this article by SKC was discussed quite well in this forum last year. Different people had different takes on its appropriateness, validity and representation of the Nigerian landscape. Review the opinions if you like/can....

Besides, some of us are not SURPRISED by your endorsement of the article because even the obvious misrepresentations feed into your stances on most of what happens in Nigerian governance these days. Most of you don't like the current occupants of Aso Rock etc and that's not fair-mindedness.

Furthermore, JUI observed that y're getting into the business of calling and decrying foul & trash talks these days...haha. STRANGELY when your FOLKS were doing the foul & trash talks on other people and their families all these years, you looked the other way. You have even defended the right to use a fake name to denigrate others & trash trash talk.... Hmmm!

Somebody once wrote something like this: The Quality of honest consistency is not strained; ....it's good for the soul, society & adult forums like this...

Take care

Mazi Aduba, you’re standing with SKC Ogbonnia while he compares a black man Oshiomole, to “Aye-aye”.

Do you know what Aye-aye is?

I have seen SKC’s picture, he’s nothing to write home about. So, what makes him call another black man a monkey, while describing (of all people) Trump, a racist, as who knows what?

You this Inyanminrin people are too hung up on looks, even when OBJ became the president. 

And most Inyanminrins don’t look right compared to other humans, except ones with mixed blood.

ISLAMIC GROUP ACCUSES UGLY MURIC LEADER ISHAQ AKINTOLA LEADER OF TERRORISM!

Yoruba’s Boko Haramist, Prof Akintola, a known Fulani Asset.

THE leader of the Muslim Rights Congress, (MURIC) Prof Ishaq Akintola has been accused to desperately working to destabilise Yorubaland and spur the region into an inter-religious conflict.

In a statement on Monday, the Coalition of Progressive Yoruba Islamic Groups, (COPYIG) said Akintola has dedicated his entire lifetime to the promotion of religious distrust, cruel hatred, violence, armed rebellion against Yoruba people and their history and  religious bigotry.

The group in a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Mallam Mukthar Abdullahi Okunade said Akintola has no other agenda except to set Yorubaland and Nigeria on the path of blood letting and primitive trend of avarice.

"It is unfortunate that one Akintola who leads MURIC has consistently fan embers of disunity in Yorubaland hiding under the guise of Islam to set brothers against brothers, communities against communities and men against women.

 His thoughts are nothing but a "reflection of the ideology of Daech" the coalition stated describing him as a shameless paid agent of the Fulani caliphate.

The group said Akintola is a big threat to 

Southern Nigeria expecially the Yoruba, Igbo and South South who owes the key to the liberation of Southern Nigeria from Fulani stranglehold"

Okunade said Akintola appears to consistently raise funds from Fulani extremist groups who bankroll all his press statements and his evil plots adding that his lifetime wish is to see Yorubaland turn into another Lebanon.

'Akintola has no followers. He is an extremist and a sadist. He appears to have suicide instint. We urge him not to attempt to drag the entire Yoruba along on his pathway of mischief and treachery against the Yoruba people". 

The group asked the Lagos State University to sack him saying that his ideas are injurious to the search fod knowledge in any decent society.

The coalition said Akintola has been promoting the invasion of Yorubaland by armed gangs and potential terrorists all for personal financial gain.

The group said Akintola lacks the capacity for clear and logical thinking and that his ability to reason in an orderly manner is a big problem to him.

 "In his riotous mind, blind rage and in a show of complete lack of wisdom, he claimed Amotekun is a Christian outfit. This shows how shallow and irresponsible Akintola is.  The head of Amotekun in Ogun State is a retired AIG, Subair; the man in charge of Amotekun in Ondo State is Aliu Tijani, a retired senior police officer, the person in charge of Amotekun in Ekiti State is Chief Jinadu. Aare Ona Kakanfo Iba Gani Adams who has been supporting Amotekun is a Muslim. THE Alaafin Oyo who backs Amotekun is a Muslim. We caution Akintola to halt is hatred for the Yoruba Nation.We urge him to learn to read books and bail himself out of his state of psychological disorder."

The group added "If he fails to repent, the God of Yoruba Nation will seek revenge against his plot  to distort Yoruba civilisation."

We’ve broken ties with Yoruba nation for going ahead with Amotekun.- Miyetti Allah.

January 28, 2020 0  By KIZITO

THE DECLARATION OF WAR ON YORUBALAND BY MIYETTI ALLAHThe National President of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Muhammadu Kirowa, says that the association have broken ties with the Yoruba nation for going ahead with their Amotekun Security Network. Kirowa speaking at Abuja says that the association and it’s affiliates will cease to support the political ambitions of the Yoruba people, saying that the much debated Amotekun Security Network was formed to disrupt cattle herders.We cannot be supporting those who are against us. The only reason for forming Amotekun is Fulani people, to drive us away from their land. Tell me are we not all Nigerians? I have seen that the Amotekun boys have been armed. If they are armed, we have no choice than to arm cattlemen because they need to protect themselves from the danger which Amotekun will pose to them.They cannot reject Ruga and also reject open grazing, they must choose one. All I can tell you now is that they are pushing us too far. They are really pushing us to the walls. We have held meetings with relevant government agencies and they promised to look into the issue. How can they go ahead with Amotekun when the police issued them notice to stop? How can they ignore the President’s directive? I see that there is an evil motive behind this security network.I heard they have also endowed them with charms to kill our cows. For any cow killed, their government will pay double for it. For every Fulani herdsman killed, violence will erupt. We have been oppressed for too long. It’s time to tell Yoruba people that we are not cowards and by Allah’s power, we will crush Amotekun and crush all their evil plots against the Fulani race.

[Ozodi Osuji]

Stimulate your imagination a bit by pondering the thesis in this essay. 

EVENTS IN OTHER UNIVERSES FILTER INTO OUR DREAMING MINDS

 

Ozodi Thomas Osuji

 

      I had the television on and fell asleep. In my sleep I dreamed of US military movements in Africa. I saw US troops in West Africa, East Africa and elsewhere in Africa. I woke up and looked at the still on television and General Carter who had been appointed the commander of US military presence in Africa talking to an interviewer about US military activities in Africa. He was not on the tube when I was awake and must have come on while I was asleep.

      What he was saying apparently filtered into my dreaming mind. My body, brain, nervous system picked up what was going on on the television and incorporated it into my dream, albeit in a distorted manner.

      I am very visual; my mind visualizes whatever it hears. If I am in a lecture hall and the lecturer is talking about, say, events in Europe my mind would visualize what he is saying in pictures of it taking place in Europe. In this situation the general was merely talking about US military formations in several parts of Africa without showing pictures of those military formations but my mind visualized the military formations as he talked about them, albeit in a distorted manner in my dream.

     The lesson here is that when we are sleeping our bodies and minds pick up what is going on in the external world and incorporate them into our dreams. We respond to events in our day world while we are dreaming and supposedly have tuned out that world and are not aware of what is going on in it.

     I am positing a hypothesis that our day world is also a dream. In this dream we do not know what is going on in other dimensions of being. Our brains somehow pick up what is going on in some dimensions of being. Events in other dimensions, other universes filter into our minds and we do not see or know about them as accurately as they are but distort them.

      I have had what folks call near death and out of body experience. I have been in what folks call the world outside this world. I am not here arguing the veracity or lack of it of the world NDEs see. Knock yourself out arguing its reality or not. All I know is that I have seen me go outside my body, go through a dark space, see a point of light and pursue it and enter a world of light forms. That world still looks like our world except that everything in it is in light forms. People, animals, trees, houses, planets, stars, galaxies and everything in our world is in it but they are in light forms and are incredibly beautiful.

      Tell me that I was dreaming and I say yes provided that you also tell me that what you call our world is a dream. In that light, there are many dream worlds each of them seemingly real for those in it, just as when you are in our world you take it as real even though it is not real.

      Well, I have had out of body experiences and been to the world of light forms. I also know that that world is a dream world; it is not real just as our current world is not real.

       I know that there is another world that is what folks call heaven. Heaven is formless. In it people are mere ideas, ideas of parts in an idea of a whole. The idea of the whole is what people call God and the idea of parts is what people call sons of God. There is God and there are his infinite sons.

     God and his sons are in each other. There is no space or gap between them. Where one ends and another begins is nowhere, they have one self and one mind. They are in eternal union.

      In their eternal union they are incredibly happy and peaceful. You cannot understand what I said unless you have had union experience.

       To have union experience you must be a loving and forgiving person. Heaven and God are love. If you want to come to heaven, to God, to love, you must be a loving and forgiving person. Hate one son of God and heaven closes its doors to you.

       Those who hate each other are sentenced to the prison house called planet earth. Yes, planet earth is a literal jail house for unloving persons.

      Imperfectly loving persons are in the world of light forms and perfectly loving persons are in the formless world of God.

 

      The point I am making here is that events in the world of light forms and in heaven do filter into our minds on earth. They do so in a distorted manner, just as when we sleep and dream our minds pick up events outside our bodies and distort them.

     Some of us have extraordinarily sensitive bodies and minds. It is people like me who pick up events in other worlds whereas dense people, people closer to animals than to human beings, the unloving brutes that constitute the majority of mankind do not tune into what is going on in other worlds.

      Before you show your little learning, may I remind you that in 1958 Hugh Everett, at Princeton University, wrote a doctoral dissertation, supervised by the great Nobel Prize Quantum physicist, John Wheeler, in which he argued that the Big Bang produced many worlds.

       David Deutch of Oxford University has devoted his academic life to arguing for what he calls multiverse, the idea that there are many universes and that whereas we do not know about them they somehow affect us and we affect them.

      I believe that the idea of multiverse is true. By the end of this century physics would have proved the existence of many universes. For now, let us see the idea as heuristic. Let us see my contention that ideas from other universes filter into our minds, albeit in a distorted manner, as a hypothesis. Let us just think about it and stop running around with the less than one percent understanding of known phenomena that we call knowledge.

     Dark energy constitutes 73% of our universe and we know nothing about it; dark matter constitutes 23% of our universe and we know nothing about it. We have only begun understanding the 4% of our universe that is visible. We live in near total ignorance of our world and masquerade around as experts on things in our world.

     And if you are one of those psychologists who say that NDE and OBE is the product of certain neurochemicals released in our brains when we are dying, may I ask you to prove your hypothesis with experiment. Real science accepts only what we can observe and experimentally prove. 

      In the early 1950s, two professors at the University of Chicago, Urey and Miller tried to prove the hypothesis that life originated in a pool of water where accidentally the sixty four elements in the human body (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, iron, copper, calcium,  zinc, magnesium, potassium, phosphor, sodium, chlorine and so on) accumulated and heat from lighting made the elements to combine to form biological cells, flesh. We know that on earth bacteria formed about 3.5 billion years ago.

     They placed those elements in a test tube and heated them up. They obtained a kind of jelly but certainly not animal flesh.

      I wonder why other biochemists and biophysicists have not tried to improve on Urey and Miller’s experiment, and go on to figure out a way to speed up the jelly’s life for 3.5 billion years to see if human cells would form? And if human body is formed would it have consciousness?

      If you believe that consciousness is produced by the permutation of elements in our brains, especially by electrochemical behavior in our brains please perform an experiment and prove it. Demonstrate that matter produced consciousness.

      Until you do so I choose to believe that consciousness is not the product of matter, I believe that consciousness uses our human bodies to play with. Our bodies are like cars and consciousness is like drivers. Drivers use cars, our bodies to drive around.  The nature of cars, our bodies affect the driver’s ability to drive around. Sick bodies impair our thinking.

       And while you are at it let me tell you that I see God as a positive force and see hell as a negative force: I see God as kind of energy and matter and see hell as kind of like anti-matter and anti-energy. Those two forces are attacking each other trying to annihilate each other, as matter and anti-matter does.

     After you have thought about my hypothesis then write about your finding and let me know about it; perform this thought experiment and let us read your result.

 

Post Script:

 

       This after thought is mostly what occurred to me yesterday after I had posted an essay on how opposing forces make our world work. The thought is that I needed to have pointed out that the belief in solids is an illusion. Why so?

     During the Big Bang a point of light, not larger than a pin’s head, came out of nowhere. It exploded into photons and sped off and the photons of that light formed electrons and quarks. Quarks formed protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons combined to form nuclei. 400, 000 years later nuclei captured electrons and atoms, mostly hydrogen and helium, were formed. The resulting cloud of hydrogen were separated into clumps. Each clump was acted on by gravity to form a star (in stars hydrogen atoms fuse into helium).

       Exploded massive stars, supernova, produced elements beyond iron. The resultant 92 elements formed planets, comets, asteroids and medium sized stars such as our star as well as our bodies and everything else.

       If you heat your body, animals, plants, land, mountains, planets, stars with enormous heat you would reduce them back to light.

      That is to say that everything in the universe is light in a congealed form. If you had the right equipment you would see your body and all bodies as swirling light energy. The table and solid things around you are light in disguised forms.

       Folks with purified eyes, that is, loving persons, do see things in light forms (love is light). This means that the idea of world of light forms is very scientific but it may not be obvious to dense minds as it is to sharp minds.

      Only light exists.

      Where did the physical light that formed our material universe come from? It came from what we do not know. I call the originator of the universe Spirit, not spirit as is understood by traditional religions, for those are primitive conceptions of reality.

      In time science will prove that only formless spirit, aka consciousness exists. Hang around and keep learning from science and meta-science.

We’ve broken ties with Yoruba nation for going ahead with Amotekun.- Miyetti Allah.

January 28, 2020 0  By KIZITO

THE DECLARATION OF WAR ON YORUBALAND BY MIYETTI ALLAHThe National President of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Muhammadu Kirowa, says that the association have broken ties with the Yoruba nation for going ahead with their Amotekun Security Network. Kirowa speaking at Abuja says that the association and it’s affiliates will cease to support the political ambitions of the Yoruba people, saying that the much debated Amotekun Security Network was formed to disrupt cattle herders.We cannot be supporting those who are against us. The only reason for forming Amotekun is Fulani people, to drive us away from their land. Tell me are we not all Nigerians? I have seen that the Amotekun boys have been armed. If they are armed, we have no choice than to arm cattlemen because they need to protect themselves from the danger which Amotekun will pose to them. They cannot reject Ruga and also reject open grazing, they must choose one. All I can tell you now is that they are pushing us too far. They are really pushing us to the walls. We have held meetings with relevant government agencies and they promised to look into the issue. How can they go ahead with Amotekun when the police issued them notice to stop? How can they ignore the President’s directive? I see that there is an evil motive behind this security network.I heard they have also endowed them with charms to kill our cows. For any cow killed, their government will pay double for it. For every Fulani herdsman killed, violence will erupt. We have been oppressed for too long. It’s time to tell Yoruba people that we are not cowards and by Allah’s power, we will crush Amotekun and crush all their evil plots against the Fulani race.

A COURSE IN MIRACLES’ PHILOSOPHY AND ME

 

Ozodi Osuji

 

    A course in miracles teach that there is no physical universe and there is no me in ego and body in a nonexistent universe. There are no other people in that non-existent universe, either.

      The universe that I and other people see is a dream in our collective minds. We are always in unified spirit state, in heaven; while there we sleep and dream the seeming universe of space, time and matter and see us in it and it seems real to us.  It is not there and we are not in it.

      This is total denial of our physical universe and the people and activities done in it. The physical universe denies heaven’s spiritual reality and a course in miracles reverses that denial and denies the universe and affirms heaven’s reality as the only reality there is.

       It says that right now, I am in spirit and while there dream and see me in body. My dreaming mind made my body problematic so that my dream self, the ego may use the dream frustrations of the body to feel angry at the dream universe that gave me such a pained body. I use my dreaming mind to have dream persons frustrate my dream ego, by not doing good things for me, from childhood, to feel angry and justify my anger at people and my fear.

      Other dream selves are doing what I am doing to make them feel that their dream egos and bodies are real for them.

     Our goal, my goal is to forget our real self, the son of God, Christ and see our dream self, ego and body as real. That is what the universe is for, to make the dream self and body seem real and determine what we do. Pained we defend the dream self and body and in doing so make the dream self and body real in our awareness and perpetuate the dream, perpetuate our sense of specialness and separation from spirit, God.  

 

DECIDE THAT THE DREAM IS NOT REAL, THE DREAM SELF AND BODY IS NOT REAL AND DO NOT WISH OR DEFEND THEM

 

     The book says that  I can decide to see me as not my dream  ego and body and see the dream selves and egos I see as not real (realizing that each self I see on earth has a son of God dreaming through it and he, like me, does not know that he is a dream self and deceive his self to believing that he is his dream self and body and like me defends his dream self and body, believing that if they are attacked and killed and die he would die.

       No one can attack people without their wish and they do not die even when they seem to die in the dream for it is dream death. 

      The people I see on earth die have not died; they seem to have died in dream death but have not done so for they were never born in body, did not live in body and do not die.

     If I decide that I am  not my ego and body, since the objective of the dream is to make me seem the ego and body, if I stop being aware of body and ego then my ego and body  would disappear from my awareness and I would become aware of myself as  the idea of part, son of God  in the idea of whole-self called God, a formless self.

 

THE DREAM DENSE BODY AND THE DREAM LIGHT BODY

 

       When I have experienced myself as a formless self, I can reenter the dream as either a dream dense body or a dream light self; I do so not to live in the dream for I have transcended the dream but to interact with dream selves and help them.

   If I still wish to be in the dream then I reenter it as an enlightened self in it, now no longer seeing me as the dream self in body, dense body or light body are not me;   I am formless  spirit self that can take on  dream body or dream light body to help those still attached to dream bodies and egos. Now I have the power of God via the Holy Spirit, the part of God that is in the dream but has the power of God. I can use that power to give me whatever I need to help people in the dream, including unlimited money and ability to perform miracles.

 

PEOPLE CAME TO THE WORLD TO BELIEVE THAT IN EGOS AND BODIES THEY HAVE WORTH; LEAVE THEM ALONE; THEY CANNOT CHANGE IT AND IF THEY DO THEY AWAKEN FROM THE DREAM

 

      The sons of God came to earth, to the dream to make their dream selves and bodies seem real, to make their ego and bodies, nothingness seem to have worth. That is what they are doing.  

       Knowing that that is what they are doing would not make them stop doing it for if they stop seeing themselves as egos and bodies and stop valuing their egos and bodies they would not be on earth.

     Telling people to stop valuing their egos and bodies, asking them not to seek ego importance, prestige and power would not make them stop doing so; they would not even listen to me for they do not want to hear that; they came here to make their egos and bodies seem important.

     Perhaps, in every millennium, one thousand years one person gives up valuing his ego and body, stop seeking body based worth.

 

THE PURPOSE OF THE WORLD IS TO MAKE EGO AND BODY SEEM TO HAVE WORTH; MAKE THE WORTHLESS AND WHAT DOES NOT EXIST SEEM TO HAVE WORTH

 

      The whole purpose of the world and the universe is to make the ego and body seem important and powerful so as to oppose God and seem powerful.

      Human civilization and society exist to make ego and body seem worthwhile.  We work for food, medications, clothing, houses to maintain our egos and bodies in existence; everything we do on earth are all designed to make our egos and bodies seem worthwhile.

      All we do is protect our egos and bodies yet those will die. That which needs negative protection, with fear and anger, depression, paranoia, mania and eventually dies has no worth and is better off dead. Except that as non-existent things they do not die. Stop valuing and seeking them and see them disappear, not die.

       Leave people to dance their dream dance. Stop dancing the dream dance by not seeing me as ego and body, by not valuing ego and body and by disappearing from ego and body world. Leave people to dream ego body worth for that is the nature of human existence and civilization; that is what people came to earth to do.

      Do not moralize about people valuing nothing, do not berate people for valuing nothing but get you out of the nothing dreams and know peace and joy.

      Each person lives in his private hell by seeking ego and body, this world. If anything, as Buddha said, have compassion for them while understanding that they are where they chose to be and are doing what they came to do and even if you stand on your head upside down and preach letting go of their attachment to the ego and body and the world they would not do so, for they are too deep in sleep to even know what you are talking about.

 

DO NOT FEEL HUMILIATED FROM RECEIVING GIFTS FROM PEOPLE FOR THAT IS EGO AND PRIDE

 

       When you live from egolessness people would be giving you things; if you are in ego you would feel ego pride injury and feel humiliated.

      You are not ego and cannot be humiliated. Those who do God’s work are supported by those in deeper dream who work and give them the money to live on so as to be on earth and teach egolessness, which they vaguely listen to but do not yet want to practice to awaken from the dream.

 

THERE IS INEVITABILITIES IN LIFE

 

        What happens in the world has to happen. This is true at the larger, macro level as well as at the smaller, micro level. Every society is where it needs to be for the people are having those dreaming.

      Every individual is where he needs to be, for he is the one dreaming his life. There is nothing that you can do to change the world for the world reflects our present ego thinking.

    We can change the individual’s dream but changing the dream at the collective level takes thousands of years. The universe will last trillions of years thus be giving all God’s children the opportunity to come and dream that they are special, separated selves. You cannot end the collective dream today.

     Everything that happens to me or to you is my dream and your dream and it is the way it is until each of us has different dreams and have different life experiences. 

      Collectively, Africans are having their primitive dreams, Europeans are having their narcissistic dreams and Americans are having their racist dreams. They have to have those dreams despite your wishes. Instead of worrying about the collective stupidity of mankind awaken from the dream, let go of your desire to be in ego and body and the world and awaken and become the teacher for those in the dream telling them what to do to awaken.

     Until you awaken you are an unhealed healer and cannot heal those in dreams, that is, awaken them.

 

HAVE FAITH IN YOUR BELIEF AND GIVE UP FEAR AND DOUBT (FEAR AND DOUBT IS OF THE EGO).

 

      Fear and doubt are the teachings of the ego telling one that one does not know the truth but should live in the tentative world of the ego and its science where there is no truth.

     First believe in your truth, then live it, act on it and you see the fruits of your belief. But as long as you do not believe in it and act on it and is fence sitting, merely talking about the truth, is wishy-washy, vacillating you are not going to see the results you wish.

 

THE WORLD CAME INTO BEING BECAUSE WE WISHED IT AND ACTED ON OUR BELIEF; IT WILL END WHEN WE WISH AND ACT ON ITS OPPOSITE

 

 

      You believed in the reality of the ego special, separated self and its world to see you in it; now reverse the belief and believe in unified spirit self and let go of the ego and act on that belief and see your ego, body and world disappear.

     Until you first belief and act accordingly you will not see the world you are wishing for, the world of light forms and ultimately the formless world of God.

 

Post Script:

 

DR O STILL VALUES THE EGO AND ITS WORLD

 

      Dr. O still values his ego and body; he values his Igbo society, values black people, and sees attacks on them by white dream figures as real. He wants to punish racists for what they did to blacks. That is, he takes dream attacks as real. He does not forgive what is done in dreams.  He does not yet know that the world is a dream that can be overlooked.

     Therefore, he is not an enlightened, illuminated person. He is in his private ego hell. It will take a long time to heal him. Instead of wasting my time trying to heal him I must heal me by seeing the world as a dream and not value it and let it go and have Holy Instant and return to the dream as a light self or dense self but all along living in the formless world of God.

     Like Adolf Hitler he wants to establish a one-thousand-year new world order that he rules, his millennium of God’s glorious kingdom.

     The man is an egotist hence does not know that God means not valuing things of the ego. Leave him alone.

Nigerian Security Crisis: When Not To Play The Tribal Card

By SKC Ogbonnia

 

The spate of insecurity bedeviling Nigeria has continued unabated because of the stark hypocrisy within the political class. Consider, for instance, the recent speech by Enyinnaya Abaribe, the minority leader of the Senate, calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign for failing to secure the lives and properties of the Nigerian people. Perhaps such outburst is in order. The political responsibility of a good opposition leader is to constantly alert the public of the failures of government. However, instead of tendering a rational response, the Buhari presidency chose to muddle the matter with tribal inuendoes.

 

The most rational response, of course, could have been to explain the specific measures being undertaken by the government to address the problem of insecurity and the readiness to embrace alternative ideas. Or, Buhari could have maintained a level of political equipoise by countering with the cliché that the problem did not begin with the current ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). And nothing stopped the president from being more direct by reminding that Abaribe might have been awol all along in the 7th Senate when his People’s Democratic Party (PDP) embezzled a whopping $2.1 billion meant for the procurement of arms to fight Boko Haram at a time the insurgency was still at its infancy.

 

Buhari did none of that. The presidency chose to evoke Biafra, clinging on Buhari’s long-standing emotional myopia which assumes that any protest against injustice somehow poses more danger than Boko Haram and Fulani Herdsmen terrorism put together. Yes, Senator Abaribe helped to bail Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB). It is also true that Kanu later jumped the bail. But none of these instances makes Enyinnaya Abaribe a criminal nor has anything to do with the rising insecurity in the country. Invoking Biafra was basically a tribal dog whistle to diffuse and trivialize Abaribe’s timely attention on security as the typical Igbo palaver.

 

But such pattern is far from novel. Buhari merely took a page from the national leader of the ruling APC, Bola Tinubu.  Recall the “Where are the cows” baloney after some Fulani herdsmen were fingered in the killing of Funke Olakunrin, the daughter of Pa Reuben Fasoranti, the leader of Afenifere. Instead of liaising with the South-West governors to proffer practical solutions, Tinubu quickly switched to his toady toga and thereafter attempted to absolve the herdsmen of culpability by insinuating that such heinous acts are a second nature to the Igbo.

 

The hypocrisy becomes more manifest when considered that Buhari himself had in 2013 demanded his predecessor, President Goodluck Jonathan, to “vacate and give way to competent hand to govern the country.” That was the period many of us in the then opposition camp had united to charge Jonathan of cluelessness in the fight against Boko Haram. But Buhari did not stop there. He went further to inject a tribal vibe in his diatribe. Hear him: “When the Niger Delta militants started their activities in the South-South, they were invited by the late President Umaru Yar’Adua. An aircraft was sent to them and their leaders met with the late president in Aso Rock and discussed issues. They were given money and a training scheme was introduced for their members. But when the Boko Haram emerged in the north, members of the sect were killed.”

 

No doubt, President Yar’Adua’s legacy on justice and national security, including insurgency, is worthy of emulation. But it is equally clear that Buhari is doing just the opposite. For example, whereas Yar’Adua adopted dialogue to contain the Niger Delta militancy and other Biafran activities of his time, Buhari has continued to use brute force on IPOB, while at the same time pacifying the Fulani herdsmen that have been terrorizing the country with AK-47. Moreover, not only has he rubbished most of the equitable policies adopted under Yar’Adua, Buhari appears to view governance, including security of human life, purely from a tribal or religious lens. 

 

The dimension of insecurity in Nigeria has become an existential threat and no longer knows tribe or religion. President Muhammadu Buhari must not always wait for a rebuke from the international community before doing the right thing in the homeland. Common sense demands an urgent rejig of Nigeria’s security apparatus to reflect competence, capacity, and diversity. Needless to mention the need for tolerance for divergent opinions, no matter how inconvenient. The temple of knowledge is not the sole province of one individual, group or tribe; just as every Nigerian life matters.

The Igbo Amotekun Must Not Be Convoy

By SKC Ogbonnia

March 6, 2020

Tongues have been waging on why the South-East Governors Forum reneged on its initial plan to launch a regional security outfit in Igboland, similar to the Amotekun of the South-West. But the people should ponder no more: the sudden u-turn has everything to do with sheer selfishness.  

Security crisis has become an existential threat in Nigeria. The South-West zone had been at the forefront of the campaign to restructure Nigeria to true federalism, arguing that such model would lead to a more progressive and safer nation. However, the campaign stalled on the altar of parochial political interest after the All Progressives Congress (APC), the majority party in the region, captured power at the center. But all that changed after July 12, 2019, being the day bandits murdered in cold blood Funke Olakunrin, the daughter of Pa Reuben Fasoranti, the leader of Afenifere, the apex Yoruba socio-cultural group. 

Recognizing that their people must first survive before they can prevail, the South-West governors put politics aside and floated a revolutionary regional security network, codenamed Operation Amotekun, an arrangement that mirrors a true federal structure. The genius is that the South-West governors could no longer fold their hands and wait forever on the long-awaited restructure of the country nor continue to rely on an inept federal police before securing the lives and property of their people. 

Make no mistake about this: The Amotekun is not a bulletproof solution to the security crisis, but it is a common knowledge that mere emotion of fear stokes deterrence. The elaborate style in which the Amotekun was launched, coupled with its unique name, not only demonstrated unity of purpose in the region, it is also an eloquent statement that it is no longer business as usual. The optics quickly sent shivers to the spines of criminals who may entertain the thought of venturing into Yorubaland. More importantly, the Operation Amotekun would provide a new layer of security in the South-West amid waning public confidence in the Nigerian police. 

Despite initial critics, the Amotekun has enjoyed broad support from the Nigerian people and beyond. The major socio-cultural organizations in the country representing the six political zones, namely, Ohaneze Ndigbo, Afenifere, Northern Elders’ Forum, Pan-Niger Delta Forum, and Middle Belt Forum lauded the development. It did not take long before a group in Northern Nigeria launched a regional security network dubbed Shege-Ka-Fasa. 

In view of the worsening wave of insecurity in Igboland, the consensus, therefore, was that the South-East governors would emulate their counterparts in the West to float a regional security outfit. But the South-East chief executives looked the other way. Rather, they pandered to the federal government on the basis of a naïve political expediency and agreed to wait on a community police model that was proposed circa 2006 but is yet see the light of the day. To these governors, the status quo trumps regional security apparatus. Ironically, such view is coming from the same Igbo leaders who have been going around in recent times, heaping every blame for the lack of development in the zone to the long-awaited restructure of Nigeria, which they insist must feature regional autonomy. But there comes a time shenanigans give way to common sense. 

The truth is that the South-East governors decided to discard a new layer of security in Igboland, because the victims of insecurity are typically the ordinary people. Unlike their counterparts in the West where the gruesome murder of the daughter of a prominent politician provoked a sense of urgency in Yorubaland, the Igbo politicians have had no cause to question their own sense of invincibility. The nonchalance, of course, is hinged on the fact that the Nigerian rich and famous enjoy maximum security by maintaining a retinue of large convoys of police personnel for the protection of their families and estates. Not surprisingly, a convoy of vehicles—with sophisticated sirens accompanied with police escorts—has not only become a status symbol in Igboland, it has also emerged as the most common security alternative in the region. To that end, instead of public safety, the Eastern police contingent now focuses on the pecuniary opportunities in the convoy security model at the cruel expense of the vulnerable masses.  

Every life matters. Moreover, the Igbo do not thrive on superficial politics. Therefore, instead of colluding with the police to promote convoys of individual security details, the South-East governors should harken to the yearnings of the masses and join their counterparts in the South-South zone by launching without further delay a true regional security network to stem the rising tide of crime in the entire East. “A stitch in time saves nine.”

The dramatic dethronement of Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, is a clear indication that President Muhammadu Buhari is aiding and abetting corruption. It is a common knowledge that the president emboldened Abdullahi Ganduje, the virally corrupt governor of Kano State, to punish a globally celebrated maverick anti-corruption king. Therefore, the denial from Buhari that he has no hand in the Kano emirate crisis is pure baloney.

 

The dethronement of Sanusi is rooted in Buhari’s twin evil of selective justice and vendetta politics. It is a calculated vengeance against Sanusi for his opposing views on Buhari’s government. The president merely found a willing accomplice in Ganduje, who was equally determined take his pound of flesh against Sanusi.

 

Lest we forget, there had been no love lost between Sanusi and Ganduje, after the governor was seen in a trove of video clips receiving bribes from a contractor and stuffing the proceeds in wads of dollars into his pocket. The bribery incident went viral and subsequently provoked worldwide outrage. Nigerians wanted action from both the state and federal levels.

 

However, instead of condemning the incident, President Buhari continued to shower stanzas of praises on the rogue governor. It was a mockery of the war against corruption under Buhari. In short, the president’s action or inaction is squarely the shameless juncture where the evil trajectory in Kano took a dramatic rise. Even the Kano State House of Assembly, which had commenced investigation of the governor, as required by the law, read Buhari’s body language and quickly swept the bribery case under the carpet, despite overwhelming evidence.

 

There was never any sign of compunction from Governor Ganduje for his corrupt behaviour. As if that was not enough, the chairman of the ruling APC, Adams Oshiomhole, landed in Kano within the same period to pass a vote of confidence on Ganduje, to the chagrin of the Nigerian masses. It did not come as a surprise that the governor was re-elected amid charges of monumental election rigging by federal government authorities. It did not come as a surprise that Emir Sanusi would be dethroned. It did not come as a surprise that the rogue governor would be allowed to deploy the federal police under President to banish and place the anticorruption king under house arrest in clear violation of his fundamental human rights and the Nigerian Constitution.

 

The dethronement of Emir Sanusi portends a troubling future. The shameful incident hinges on the growing duplicity in Buhari’s war against corruption. It is a growing pattern of war against anticorruption advocates in the country. It is a war against the common good.

Why APC Should Tame Tinubu Before Oshiomhole

By SKC Ogbonnia

March 18, 2020

 

It did not come as a surprise that Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole would survive the latest move to sack him as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC). His opponents have been hitting the tail instead of the head. The gist is that Oshiomhole’s tenure of crisis cannot be divorced from the overbearing ambition of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to rule Nigeria at all costs. Therefore, instead of chasing shadows, it has become imperative to muster the courage and go all out to tame the former Lagos State governor.

 

Make no mistake: Tinubu, the National Leader of APC, has every right to seek the presidency. More essentially, his role in the Nigerian democracy can never be belittled. This informs why I had to admonish President Muhammadu Buhari earlier in his first tenure for alienating the Asiwaju. I asserted then (and still believe) that, “if dynamic opposition is the life-wire of a democracy, it is very fitting then to name him (Tinubu) the saviour of Nigeria’s current democratic journey.”  Regrettably, the manner Tinubu has been pursuing his presidential ambition is not only becoming an existential threat to APC as a party but also to the same democracy he helped to save.  

 

The problem is rooted in Tinubu’s naked godfatherism. The canker began to grow when the Asiwaju was made to believe that he solely influenced the nomination of Buhari. Further, after his failed bid to grab the vice-presidential ticket, Tinubu was allowed to handpick his longtime ally for the position, so that peace could reign. Worst still, the former Lagos State governor would retain the titular title of National Leader, thereby creating an impression of two captains in one ship. As if that was not enough, he attempted to also dictate the leadership of the Legislature but failed. This failure, remember, led to the first major crisis in the party and the mass decampment that followed before the 2019 general elections.

 

The most mystifying, however, is that, despite the fact that his primary fiefdom, Lagos, is constantly ranked as one of the worst estates on earth, it has not deterred Tinubu from the morbid desperation to rule other Nigerian states by proxy. The more troubling is his do-or-die approach. For instance, the next major crisis after the National Assembly debacle was his plot to hijack the 2016 Ondo State governorship primary election against the rightful winner, the current governor, Rotimi Akeredolu.  The outcome was a nasty fallout between the Asiwaju on one side and both the then National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun and President Buhari on the other side. In attempt to restore a sense of normalcy before 2019 elections, Buhari had to go out of his way to appease Tinubu by easing out Oyegun. 

 

Enter Adams Oshiomhole. President Buhari misread him as a simplistic khaki-wearing independent-minded party man who could contain Tinubu. But Oshiomhole was understandably desperate for attention after leaving office as Edo State governor and did not want to end the Oyegun way. The new chairman quickly accepted to function as a mere lackey. Oshiomhole’s main function, therefore, has been to perfect Tinubu’s plot to install his cronies across the country towards a presidential bid.   

 

Not surprisingly, the APC would go on to suffer the most crisis-ridden party primary exercise in the national history. Every APC structure, from the states to the federal, including the Legislature, and President Buhari and his cabinet, had a bitter taste of the crisis. Only Coronavirus could have been as toxic and widespread. The saving grace for the APC in the 2019 electoral cycle was that the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), the main opposition party, fielded a deeply flawed presidential candidate in Atiku Abubakar.

 

Tinubu’s style of godfatherism is a threat to national unity and has worsened since Buhari won a second term. Recall how the Asiwaju shamelessly cornered all the important positions zoned to the South to himself or his cronies from Western Nigeria, as if somehow the APC in the South is a one-man show. Lest we forget, the APC came into being as an amalgamation of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) led by Buhari; the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) led by Tinubu; the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) led by Ogbonnaya Onu; a faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) led by Rochas Okorocha, and the new PDP led by Alhaji Kawu Baraje.  Needless to mention the powerful roles of Southern Igbo, such as Pat Utomi, Chibuike Amaechi, Osita Okechukwu, Chris Ngige, Annie Okonkwo, Joe Igbokwe, among others.

 

Yet, today, there is no meaningful office holder within the APC as a party or its government from the entire Eastern Region besides statutory ministerial appointments, thanks to Tinubu’s southern strategy of divide and conquer. In short, at no time in post war Nigeria has a region suffered this type of political blackmail. The height of the hypocrisy is that Bola Ahmed Tinubu—in terms of shrewd godfatherism and shadiness—is even far worse than his targets in the East, Rochas Okorocha not excluded.

 

Now, consider that Tinubu now believes that he has successfully humbled the East with a montage of opportunistic politics. Combine that notion with the assumption that the North is now under his palm, especially given the fact that the Asiwaju dictated the content and the character of the current government—from the leadership of the ruling party to both the executive and the legislative arms of power. Visualize such political oddity with the reality that the former Lagos governor is now zeroing in on his potential 2023 opponents in the West, as can be gleaned from the current crisis blazing through Edo and already rearing its ugly head into Ondo. There and then emerges the danger inherent in Tinubu’s role within APC and beyond. Even Vladimir Putin of Russia Republic has not shown this type of pestilent appetite for power. O to ge!

 

This is a perfect time for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to step aside. He no longer has the credibility to grandstand as the face of the APC. His exit as a National Leader will solve two fundamental problems. First, it will effortlessly sweep off Oshiomhole’s tenure of un-ending crisis. Second, it will not only reposition the party leadership with men and women of impeccable character, but also in line with true democratic ideals, particularly a level playing ground for electoral offices, including the presidency.

Coronavirus: The Nigerian Dream Cure

By SKC Ogbonnia

March 25, 2020

 

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), which has compelled people to stay within their localities, illuminates the genius of the ageless adage: charity begins at home. It has exposed the malignant ignorance within Nigerian leaders who prefer foreign medical treatment while neglecting the amenities at home. The COVID-19 has profoundly exposed the nature and scope of the Nigerian healthcare crisis. Yet, every cloud has a silver lining!

 

The recent coronavirus controversy in Enugu is a perplexing preface. A 70-year old woman was suspected to be carrying the virus. But there is no laboratory capable of administering the COVID-19 test in the entire Eastern Region. Thus, it took several days before the test result could arrive from faraway Irrua in Edo State. Though the result returned negative, the woman had already died while isolated in a squalor at a grungy ESUT Teaching Hospital complex. The irony is that this incident took place in Enugu—of all places, the Igbo flagship metropolis that has no excuse to lag in development, having served as the capital of Eastern Region, capital of Biafra, capital of East Central State, capital of the old Anambra State; and currently the capital of Enugu State. This predicament only goes to ridicule the faculty of the globally renowned Igbo intelligentsia that parades Enugu as its sanctum.

 

The most mind-boggling yet is the situation in Northern Nigeria. Though the North is the perennial epicenter of the national healthcare crisis, it never dawned on the politicians to establish standard laboratories for testing a disease like Coronavirus in the entire region, besides an outfit at the nation’s capital, Abuja. To test for the virus. those in Sokoto will have to travel over 650 km while those in Maiduguri must commit 845 kilometers before reaching Abuja. One can only wonder the wisdom of the Northern leaders, widely celebrated for strategic vision in gaining power, but who continually fail to maximize such power towards the common good of their people.

 

In a 2015 essay, “Every Nigerian Blood Is On The Line”, I drew attention to the ignorance of Nigerian leaders, who tend to forget that good leadership is vitally important to both the led and the leader. I enumerated the embarrassing cases of highly placed politicians from the immediate past administration who lost their close relatives because they failed to provide good amenities in the local communities, such as President Goodluck Jonathan, Dame Patience Jonathan, Namadi Sambo, David Mark, and Ike Ekweremadu, among others.

 

Also remember the strong man of Ibadan politics, Lamidi Adedibu, who died on his way to procure traveling documents towards a foreign medical trip. Equally relative is the case of Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and Alex Ekwueme. These two prominent men suffered stroke in the same Enugu at different times but had to allow a few weeks to stabilize before embarking on foreign treatment. Before they could reach their British destinations, their situations worsened. Neither Ojukwu nor Ekwueme made it back home alive. Needless to mention sitting Head of State Sani Abacha and President Umar Yar’Adua, who died at the Aso Villa, under questionable health conditions.

 

The crisis conundrum is that the current leaders still did not seem to get it. Nigeria’s top office holders, including President Buhari, embraced foreign medical treatment as a second nature. But that was then—definitively then!

 

The point, if it is not already apparent, is that coronavirus has emerged as a quintessential equalizer. It has provoked a national consciousness and common sense, by consequence. The pandemic has made it imperative that people, both rich and poor, must seek prevention or treatment in their immediate environment. The elites may be accorded the usual preferential treatment, quite alright, but any attempt to ignore the masses, as in the past, is a poisoned chalice.

 

The foregoing thesis becomes more compelling, when considered that the threat of the COVID-19 in Nigeria is real. Though there are only 44 confirmed cases as at the time of this essay, the low number simply signifies lack of adequate testing centers. A forewarning is that out of those 44 cases, 35 were in the Western Region, being the cluster where 4 out of the 5 testing laboratories in the country are located. It is also not a coincidence that both the East and the Far-North are yet to record any case. Their common denominator is plainly the absence of testing centers in those zones. Moreover, testing for the COVID-19, for now, remains an elitist agenda. But the truth remains that every Nigerian life is on the line.

 

A dream cure, therefore, is a revolutionary approach that can sufficiently address the Nigerian short and long-term healthcare needs. Besides any mitigation measures or cure for the COVID-19, Nigeria must, without any delay, equip and modernize eight existing university teaching hospitals to international standards. While six of such hospitals should be spread in the six political zones, the remaining two would be allocated to Abuja and Lagos. This revolutionary plan is well studied, and the goal is twofold: First, it will significantly improve the national healthcare delivery for the ordinary Nigerian people. Second, it will be able to treat the Nigerian leaders and stem the shameless pattern of medical tourism in foreign lands.

 

Establishing eight world-class hospital—within one year—is not rocket science. The sources for the financial and the human resources are equally well studied. The budget for the hospitals is $8 billion. The most cost-efficient is direct funding through crude oil, its hazy market and politics notwithstanding. A plain source is to plug out $12 billion from the now suspended 2016-2018 External Borrowing of $22.7 billion proposed by President Buhari. While $8 billion goes for the hospitals, the remaining $4 billion will be dedicated to mitigating the coronavirus pandemic. Phase II will target the state capitals and so on…

 

The dream cure is neither politics nor business as usual. It should be executed by a Healthcare Revolutionary Council (HRC) that can include these notable patriots: Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Omoyele Sowore, Akinwumi Adesina, Adeleke Mamora, Femi Falana, Bartholomew Nnaji, Ngozi Iweala, Oby Ezekwesiri, Ogbonnaya Onu, Kanayo Ubesie, Donald Duke, Pat Utomi, Ben Murray-Bruce, Festus Keyamo, Muhammadu Sanusi II, Nasir el-Rufai, Obadiah Mailafia, Nuhu Ribadu, Aisha Buhari, Shehu Sani, Mathew Kukah, Khadija Bukar Abba Ibrahim, Hameed Ali, Yakubu Dogara, Aisha Al-Hassan, Audu Ogbe, Iorwuese Hagher, Natasha Akpoti, Yakubu Mohammed, and Abubakar Sani Bello.

MyTake:

Based on the above as narrated by SKC, it goes to prove that Igbos are no different from other Nigerians and they need to develop their land. Also, the CLAIMS by some fucked up Igbos that Igbos are superior talents amongst Nigerians are total and complete nonsense given as SKC said no where in Igboland can a testing center be found, but in Esanland, so if I was to use the same “claim”, I would say as an Esan man from Irrua, we are superior talents than Igbos given we, Esan people, had the wisdom to build a medical facility that can test for Coronavirus! 

To be clear, since Irrua is in Esanland in Edo state, Irrua is more ADVANCE than Enugu, the capital of Biafra. 

Lord have mercy!

Abba Kyari: A Loyalty At The Nation’s Peril

By SKC Ogbonnia

April 24, 2020

 

The death of Abba Kyari, the former Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, has elicited a great deal of controversy, but the posterity demands that the history of our leaders bears the truth.

 

Without doubt, the history of Kyari will cite powerful voices that remember him as a very loyal servant. These voices were diverse. They came from different shades of the political spectrum. They came from different parts of the country.

 

The Minister of External Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, Kyari’s friend for over 42 years, delivered a testimonial for the ages. An excerpt reads as follows: “Abba was loyal to a fault. He decided he was going to protect his boss, President Muhammadu Buhari at all costs and would take any number of bullets for him. And he did!”

 

The most compelling yet came from no other than Femi Fani-Kayode, a frontline critic of the current government, and a former Minister of Aviation, who had equally known Abba Kyari for over 40 years. Kayode put politics aside to tweet that the Mallam was a good and loyal man.

 

Not to be forgotten is the eulogy from a prominent member of the main opposition party and a former governor of Delta State, James Ibori, who mourned that “no chief of staff anywhere has shown as much loyalty and commitment as he showed to President Muhammadu Buhari.”

 

But none has meant more than a special tribute from President Buhari himself. The president, a man not known for many words, could not hide his emotions when he described the departed Chief of Staff as his “dearest friend”. Even his harshest critic would marvel at the point Buhari wrote that Abba Kyari “strove quietly and without any interest in publicity or personal gain to implement my agenda.”

 

The accolade from the venerable Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, is not only instructive, it also provokes another vital foreground to my thesis. He wrote: Abba Kyari “executed President Buhari’s vision with his own single-mindedness…He was driven by conviction and never shied from an intellectual argument because his intellect was vast.”

 

The problem, a huge problem, is that the Buhari’s vision, as well as conviction, have been an embarrassing failure. In short, if his presidency were to end today, he would have been remembered as the nation’s worst civilian leader ever. No close second! Where does one begin and where does one end? There is palpable anger in the East, North, South, and West. Even where Buhari recorded some measurable success, such achievements usually fail to engender hope, because of his style of leadership.

 

Besides Buhari, no one is more associated with this failure than Abba Kyari, the president’s most trusted and influential ally. Said differently, Mallam Kyari was so single-minded to Buhari’s visions and convictions—visions and convictions well proven to be stridently divisive, unjust, inhumane, and unpatriotic.

 

This view must not be misconstrued as suggesting that leaders should always waver in their visions or convictions. The point is that any worthwhile vision or conviction must not be antagonistic to the greater good. Moreover, political rigidity, which Mr. Kyari roundly endorsed, is another name for dogmatism, which typically leads to destructive power. Hillary Clinton phrased it more mildly: “easy consensus can lead, over time, to poor decisions.”

 

Therefore, even as Abba Kyari was a hardworking man, a good friend to his close associates, a good father to his children, a good husband to his wife, a loyal servant to the president, and a gentleman in the society; common sense dictates that he was overly naïve. His much-touted loyalty to President Buhari was not only a naked nescience, it was also a clear case of blind following. It was a loyalty at the nation’s peril.

 

This failure explains why the true history of the late Kyari ought to include a chapter devoted to the fact that more Nigerians rejoiced over his death than the few who mourned him. The history deserves to mention that the degree of glee that trailed his demise had not been witnessed since the death of Sani Abacha, the maximum dictator who ruled the country from 1993 to 1998.

 

Kyari’s case, a death from Coronavirus, was even more ironic. Despite the excruciating effect of nationwide lockdowns intended to mitigate the pandemic, many were celebrating his misfortune, with some openly praying, wishing that the COVID-19 could become a regular phenomenon, if only it could continue to claim the likes of Abba Kyari.

 

Some members of the inner caucus of the ruling party were not left behind. The Kano State Commissioner of Works, Mu’azu Magaji, could not hide his excitement when he wrote that the passing of Abba Kyari is a welcome breeze for the Nigerian people. The First Lady, Aisha Buhari, could not imagine anything more befitting than to pray that Allah could forgive Mr. Kyari’s sins.

 

The truth is that the name, Abba Kyari, by his actions or inactions, is widely seen as a taboo among the Nigerian masses. This notion accounts for why one of his most ardent adherents, the governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma, did not hesitate to disassociate himself from a story making the rounds that the governor was planning to immortalize the late presidential aide.

 

A more troubling predicament is that many politicians are falling on top of each other, begging to become the new Chief of Staff, to become as blindly loyal to the president as Abba or even worse.

 

May the soul of Mallam Abba Kyari rest in perfect peace. I also pray that no Nigerian president is ever blinded with Mr. Kyari’s type of loyalty. May the Almighty grant President Muhammadu Buhari the wisdom to recognize the genius of critical opinions. I pray that he can truly change to become the best president some of us had hoped he could become.

COVID-19: Soludo’s Voodoo Ideas

By SKC Ogbonnia

May 1, 2020

 

Any objective analysis of a long-winded essay, “COVID-19: Can Africa Afford Lockdowns?”, by Chukwuma Soludo, would wonder if the renowned economist is suddenly cast with a voodoo spell.

 

Mr. Soludo needs no introduction. A distinguished professor of economics, with advanced degrees—both academic and honoris causa—from the prestigious University of Nigeria, he was a former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and currently a member of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Economic Advisory Council. It is not surprising, therefore, that his voice roars in some quarters as a bullet-proof solution to the country’s myriad of problems.  

 

However, in a seemingly attempt to employ novel theories to rubbish plausible anti-COVID-19 measures that have produced good results in many developed and developing economies, including Nigeria, Soludo succeeded in doing nothing but use delusive ideas to create more problems than solutions. 

 

In short, the essay depicted the former CBN Governor as a poor imitation of Donald Trump, a nescient narcist who never hesitates to spew nonsense just to be in the news. Though Soludo raised some salient points, quite alright, he was going off on tangents, rambling, clearly ducking the truth about COVID-19 and, in the process, peddled fallacies as facts.

 

The most disingenuous is that, while discrediting lockdowns by African nations, Soludo claimed that, “China isolated Wuhan, and kept Shanghai, Beijing, and other major economic engines open, and today, China supplies the world with medical equipment, face masks, etc., and is raking-in hundreds of billions of dollars).” That is sheer fallacy.

 

The fact is that major Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, experienced lock downs until the virus plateaued. The following account from a practical observer, as reported in the Washington Post of March 16, 2020, is instructive: “Six weeks earlier, I had watched China shut itself down as the coronavirus epidemic first exploded in Wuhan, and then spilled across the country and beyond…I saw China’s whole economic machinery, from the curbside noodle shops to sprawling tech campuses, clank to a halt as the government pulled out every stop to contain the virus’s spread.”

 

The import is that, even as the lockdowns in Africa may not have been backed with adequate palliatives, the strategy is widely proven to be effective. The situation could have been worse in Nigeria, if President Buhari had not locked down Lagos and Abuja as at the time he did. After all, as Lagos and Abuja go, so goes the rest of the country.

 

In the same swoop, Soludo wrote that, “In the Western societies from where we copied the lockdown/border closure, their citizens are literally paid to stay at home… The U.S. Senate just passed a bill for $484 billion “More Small-Business Stimulus”, including a $320 billion “Paycheck Protection Program” to enable small businesses pay their staff salaries for two months.”  The example with the United States is misleading and only serves to fuel anger among the Nigerian masses.

 

Anybody but Professor Chukwuma Soludo! A simple scan of the internet readily reveals the harsh realities of lockdowns and the extent of the so-called stimulus package in the United States. Reports abound about the over 30 million Americans who have lost their jobs the last 45 days and millions more who have no money to pay for food or shelter. The life in America had always been better before Coronavirus and remains better while battling the disease, but the current situation is a far cry from the picture the professor was painting.

 

This is not the time for inflammatory innuendoes. Unlike in America which has become the COVID-19 global epicenter, lockdowns in China succeeded because the people had a coherent message and the mental discipline to execute the agenda. Therefore, Soludo must not ignore science and security to confuse Nigerians by “copying and pasting” the COVID-19 visions of Donald Trump, whose every medical idea has cost more lives than it has saved lives.

 

Instead of lampooning lockdowns, without tested alternatives, the former CBN governor should deploy the energy towards increasing the palliatives needed to alleviate the effects of the coronavirus, efficient management of the palliatives, and the life after. Instead of careless conjectures, he should defer to medical opinions and adhere to directives from relevant authorities.

 

The most blatant is Soludo’s admonition that “African countries should urgently dismantle the border closures.” This was not unexpected, though. The idea stems from a voodoo economic theory that gained currency in the eighties under US President Ronald Reagan but ended up paralyzing the American manufacturing base and turned China into a global powerhouse. It is similar to the open border policy promoted by Nigeria at the time Soludo reigned as CBN Governor that pauperized the country’s productive capacity and, consequently, produced a multitude of overnight billionaires while subjecting millions to abject penury.

 

On no account should Nigeria relapse to open border economy, as being canvassed by Soludo. This goes without saying that a level of protectionism is vitally essential for true Nigerian independence. Imagine what could have been, if the country still depended on imported rice and chicken during the COVID-19 experience!

 

The piffle presumptions did not stop at lockdowns and border closures. The economist equally poked insult on the philanthropists, who donated money to the COVID-19 campaign, labeling them “photo charity.” The statement in and of itself is uncharitable, to say the least. The program’s flaws notwithstanding, he ought to have reasoned that, besides the politicians, these donors include innocent Nigerians and even the poor Samaritans. Their efforts, no matter how small, have touched lives from the villages to the larger society.

 

Finally, to answer Soludo’s central question: “Can Africa Afford Lockdowns?”.  YES, Africa has already been able to afford the lockdowns in a significant way or even better. The continent clearly contained COVID-19 more than their counterparts, thanks to the African exceptionalism of good weather, nutrition, and timely interventions, such as the lockdowns, selfless healthcare workers, “photo charity”, family support systems, and a resilient populace. The economic forecast is gloomy, like elsewhere, but Africa will soon re-open, probably faster than many developed economies.  

 

Best of all, the Coronavirus lockdown scheme is a historic equalizer and thus has a silver lining for Africa. Our leaders ought to have learned that the African economy will skyrocket by investing at home and patronizing local products and facilities. Nigerian leaders, for instance, might have learned to lead by example, matching words with action in all facets of the national economy, particularly in the Power, Aviation, Automobile, Steel, Healthcare, and Education sectors.

COVID-19: Time For Buhari To Replace His Mercedes With Innoson

By SKC Ogbonnia

June 2, 2020

 

The consensus around the world is that the lessons from the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) would provoke commonsense among Nigerian leaders to harness the full potential of their local economy, but this dream may never come close, if President Muhammadu Buhari does not lead by example.

 

A defining theme of my foray into the 2019 presidential race is that Nigeria’s problem is not as complex as commonly imagined. For the problem is neither the lack of natural resources nor human resources. It certainly has nothing to do with good visions or the enabling policies. The Nigerian endemic problem is squarely the failure to influence the efficient implementation of the policies towards the greater good.

 

It is not surprising, therefore, that amid the COVID-19 pandemic, President Buhari demonstrated visionary leadership by declaring that Nigeria will henceforth promote and patronize made-in-Nigeria products over foreign goods. Buhari’s vision is laudable and mirrors the case of Asian countries, particularly China and India, which for several decades banned a good number of foreign products to enable their local industries to thrive. Today, both Asian nations have become economic envy of the world.  

 

Interestingly, not long after the made-in-Nigeria policy went public, instead of patronizing Innoson Motors, the sole indigenous local auto manufacturing outfit, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) hurriedly approved a whopping sum of N683, 613 million for purchase of 19 Made-In-Japan Toyota vehicles for the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA).

 

According to the Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, the justification for the abrupt breach of the policy is that the need for the foreign vehicles predated the COVID-19 pandemic. As if her logic lacks in folly, the Minister of Transport, Chibuike Amaechi, followed that the approval became necessary, because “it’s the first time in four years that NPA was buying any vehicle.”

 

The simple takeaway from both Ahmed and Amaechi is that Nigerian leaders embrace lunacy as legacy. This goes without saying that the rationale behind the choice of the foreign vehicles over local brands has nothing to do with the common good. Instead, it has everything to do with the manic competition for financial profligacy among the different arms of the Nigerian government.

 

The decision by the Executive arm of government is merely to outdo the wastefulness synonymous with the Nigerian Legislature. The NPA squander dittoed the Senate, which not long ago rejected Innoson only to launder over N5 billion for Toyota brands. The House of Representatives would also double down to sink another N5 billion into Toyota Camry saloon cars in place of moderately priced Innoson jeeps that are specially designed and tested for the Nigerian roads.

 

This pattern of lavishness by public officials, particularly under the prevailing COVID-19 crisis, is plain cold-blooded. It is impunity going too far.

 

But President Muhammadu Buhari must own full blame. Though his call to patronize local products is commendable, he is neither able to influence his appointees to implement the policy nor able to lead by example himself. Rather than demonstrate patriotism, by proudly using the Made-in-Nigeria goods that he preaches, Buhari appears to be emulating the ostentatious style of the regime before him.

 

Mister Buhari should quickly revert to the tenets of his 2016 “Change Begins With Me” slogan. The core principle demands that he declares Innoson as the official brand for all government agencies, beginning with the Presidency. If a General Buhari, as a military head of state, could endear himself to the Nigerian people over 30 years ago, by embracing jagged foreign Peugeot—then assembled in Nigeria—as a badge of honor, it is only patriotic for him to replicate such gesture for wholly made-in-Nigeria vehicles.

 

It is worth mentioning, however, that the Innoson Motors is on record to have stated that the company has seen more patronage from the Buhari government than the one before it. That is commendable, at base. But the mediocrity of the previous regime can never be substituted as a gold standard for success.

 

President Buhari is a man widely known as ascetic and who assumed power on the mantra of revolutionary change. He should, therefore, embolden his change vision, as well as the authenticity of his policy on local goods, so that others can follow. The message, if it is not already explicit, is that the Nigerian president should, without further delay, replace his official car, a German-made Mercedes Benz, with a Nigerian-made Innoson brand.  

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has combined to plunge Nigeria into an economic miasma and true change has become inevitable. The leaders can no longer afford to carry on business as usual. In short, besides leading by example, it has become imperative for President Buhari to remind public officials that the country risks a serious mass revolt, if they continue to swim in ocean of affluence while submerging the masses deeper and deeper into abject poverty and despair.
