CONVERSATION BETWEEN MAMA H.I.D AWOLOWO AND PROF. OSINBAJO AND WIFE (Granddaughter of Awolowo)

Mama: You children of today, you never learn from history. Especially those of you born in Yorubaland. You brought my granddaughter here so that I can bless your mutual ambition with General Buhari? Abi beko? And she agreed to follow you like cow?

Osinbajo: Be ni o Mummy.

Granddaughter: Be ni o Mummy. You are right, but I am not a cow.

Mama: You shut up. Let me finish. Omo ko mo. If not because of you, a man eating from the same plate with an agent of darkness would not have the audacity to first take you, my granddaughter, as his wife and then even crucify our family by accepting to deputise a man who punished and almost killed your grandfather for nothing.

Granddaughter: Mummy the man has changed o. Buhari has changed. Let's not personalise issues o.

Osinbajo: Yes, mummy. Buhari is a changed man.

Mama: Yes, I know. He changed to APC. He is no longer in CPC. He is always changing before every election. And we must not personalise issues. But your party personalised its presidential candidacy? Is it not so? What is wrong with Fashola being your presidential candidate? Would heaven fall?

Osinbajo: Mummy that is not what we meant.

Mama: Ok o. Sorry, it is my mistake. So if Hitler had changed from military man to civilian, the world would have forgiven him for gassing the Jews?

Granddaughter: Mummy haba. How can you compare Hitler with Buhari?

Mama: Why not? Ok, again I ask, if Idi Amin had changed from military to civilian, the Ugandans would have allowed him contest to be their president?

Granddaughter: Otio o. Buhari is not like Hitler and Idi Amin. Buhari's driver and cook are real born-again Christians o.

Osinbajo: Even his daughter is married to a Christian from Anambra state. She even converted to Christianity after the marriage and her father never objected.

Mama: And what is that his in-law's name?

Osinbajo: It is confidential, Mama. Nobody knows but we are sure it is true. They cannot lie over such issues. Abi darling?

Granddaughter: Yes love.

Mama: So if Hitler's driver and cook were Jewish, the world could have forgiven him? Is that the change both of you want for Nigeria?

Granddaughter: Yes mummy that is the kind of change we are talking about.

Osinbajo: Mummy please forgive and forget. That is what the Bible says. Buhari is now a changed man and he represents the type of change Nigerians are yearning for.

Mama: Ok o. I forgive and forget like you both are forcing me to. I am an old woman and I do not have strength to argue. But, I will give you prayers that befit your ambition.

Granddaughter: Thank you Mummy.

Mama: Before I start the prayer, I need to ask you this question.

Osinbajo: We are all ears mama. Go on please.

Mama: If Benjamin Netanyahu's granddaughter brings someone working directly with Hitler home to be blessed by Netanyahu, what do you think would happen?

Granddaughter: Ah Mummy that is not possible except that granddaughter is sick upstairs to forget history.

Mama: But that is what you have just done. In organised countries that man Buhari cannot vote, not to talk of contesting in a democratic set-up. Anyone at all is better than Buhari because he does not believe in democracy. He is the only coup plotter in Nigeria today who killed democracy. Buhari does not believe in human right. He is just looking for power to use against his enemies. The man creates enemies so that he can have people to destroy. And I can see that your husband is the next to be destroyed.

Granddaughter: Mummy, please forget about the past and let us move on to change.

Mama: Ok o. If you say so. Close your eyes and let us pray. May he put your husband in jail for committing no crime.

Granddaughter: Haba Mummy. Put my husband in jail? How can I survive without my husband around me even for one night?

Mama: Do not worry, you will survive, I survived it when Buhari did it to me. May he ransack your house looking for nothing in particular.

Osinbajo: Mummy please do not say this kind of prayer for your children.

Mama: May he punish you like Jolaoso to the extent that you would lose your sight.

Osinbajo: Mummy this is not prayer. You are cursing me ke. Haba. Mo ta ka seyin. Akoba adaba, Olorun ma je a ri.

Mama: God will let you see this o. May he keep you in jail even when the courts give verdict that you are innocent like he did to Pa Ajasin, Jakande, Babatope, Ekwueme, Mbakwe, and so many others.

Granddaughter: Mummy this is not what we asked for. You are cursing us instead of praying for us.

Mama: May he instruct the judge to jail you even when innocent like he did to Fela.

Osinbajo: Darling let us go. This is getting out of hand. Mama is cursing me. I do not deserve this.

Mama: Cursing you? Hmn. I have not finished yet. This last prayer is too harsh but since you both want prayers, you shall have it. May he kill your loved ones like he killed Bartholomew and co. even when the whole world begged him not to.

Osinbajo: This is enough. I cannot take it any longer. I am out of here.

supersonic:
I believe you are an adult with a child's brain. Why would WAEC Ghana has information concerning a candidate in Nigeria when there is WAEC office in Nigeria who can give you detail information on the said issue? The exam was written in Nigeria for God's sake why would Ghana give you the result? It is like asking your uncle to tell you how your dad met your mum when in actual fact,your dad is alive, Why not ask your dad? Please,think outside the box and forget sentimentality.

I believe you are too young to know that in 1961, WAEC had no office in Nigeria but in Ghana. All exams it conducted in Nigeria and elsewhere outside Ghana were documented in Ghana.

Army: We Don't Have Buhari's WASC Certificate, Nor Photocopy

By Senator Iroegbu in Abuja
THISDAY

The Nigerian Army in attempt to put to rest, the controversy and mystery surrounding the credentials of the Presidential candidate of the main opposition party, All Progressive Congress (APC) Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), has stated categorically that they are not in possession of his West African Secondary Certificate (WASC) amongst his credentials.

The Director of Army Public Relations (DAPR), Brig-Gen. Olajide Laleye, disclosed this during Tuesday during a press conference at the Army Headquarters (AHQ), Abuja.

Laleye said that Nigerian Army has been bombarded with several requests from individuals and corporate organizations seeking to know the true position of Buhari's credentials.


He said: "I don't have that information on whether Gen. Buhari has applied for his credentials. The reason why we put this press conference is because individuals and Corporate bodies have written severally requesting for his credentials. We want to make it clear that we hold Buhari in high esteem having rose through the ranks.

"Now the raging controversy concerning this has been what the Nigerian Army presented to you as facts. We have not added anything and we have not subtracted anything.

" In his personal file in the Nigerian Army, he does not have his original copy of his WASC, nor the Nigerian Army have the certified true copy of his WASC results, neither do we have a photocopy. We don't have that but we do have other documents to show how he was recruited into the Nigeria Army as was entered on Form 199A".

Oya, Liar Mohammed (APC) mouthpiece tell us another story.

netizenbuzz:
I think it was kind of necessary. A lot of people in the south don't understand the horrors of what is going on in the north.

It is the North that chose the path of war. Recollect their veiled threat to make the country ungovernable if Buhari did not win in 2011. Well, they have actualised their threat except that, GEJ's relentless war against the idiots has restricted their activities to the North that planted and nurtured them. The irony of the whole thing is that Boko Haram is killing the Northerners and the Military is killing the Northerners. Like Fela would say, 'double wahala for dead body.'

obiZEAL:
Please Nigerians this a very honest and sincere plea...
We can't continue like this, you have no idea what we in the north are going through...our lifes have been f*cked up...
The only hope we have now is February 2015.
People are dying every day and it means nothing to most of you cos u've not lost any loved one...
Is not that Goodluck don't want to stop this...the truth is that he can't.
We need somebody who can...anybody but Goodluck.
If you look at this pictures and still allow GEJ another 4 years then you are very heartless and diabolical...the voice of the dead and posterity will never forgive you.

And you think the solution is to vote in a Cabal who triggered it all? I have no voters card so I won't even vote during the election (if there will be any), but I can't stand the beclouded minds of those who believe Buhari is the solution. The same man who fanned the embers of carnage against Southerners and Easterners in the North simply because he lost election.

Truth be told, Northern Politicians feathered and armed Boko Harama. Now they can't control them. Blame them and not GEJ.

Buhari: When Facts Become ‘Contrived…’

THIS REPUBLIC
With Shaka Momodu E-mail: shaka.momodu@thisdaylive.com, 08112661654
It is not my desire to join issues or engage any of my colleagues in an open debate in the media. This article should therefore be seen as an exception. After reading Waziri Adio’s article on the back page of THISDAY 15th December titled, “Is This, Finally, The Buhari Moment?” I came to the inescapable conclusion that there were obvious gaps that needed to be filled. For the records, Mr Adio was spot on and I largely agree with the analysis except for the phrase ‘contrived handicaps’ which is suggestive of falsehood sold as truth.

I therefore find the urge to correct some misrepresentations too strong to resist. It is particularly expedient to fill the missing years between 1984 (about 30 years) ago when Buhari entered the consciousness of Nigerians with those immortal and awe inspiring words which Waziri heralded his article, “This generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no country other than Nigeria, we shall remain here and salvage it together” and his 2014 speech preceding his nomination when he stated thus, “We seek a new Nigeria. It starts with us, it starts today…. Nigeria is our home. Let us now turn it into the great Nation we know it can and should be.’’

Of truth, that statement in 1984 captivated and galvanised Nigerians across the country into looking inward and believing our situation was not beyond redemption. But the succeeding years have seen Buhari morphing into something of a caricature image far less noble than the vision encapsulated in that powerful summation of 1984.
These years have been very revealing of the Buhari personae. So much water has passed under the bridge such that it would be wrong to condense and analyse Buhari on just two inspiring quotes 30 years apart and attempt to sell his candidature as a viable alternative. I find this unhelpful for a society yearning for direction.

What about the intervening years that have thrown up a deeply partisan, sectional and religious irredentist that I am sure, many Nigerians would find different from the man who spoke those words 30 years ago? The truth here is that from when he spoke his first words to Nigerians and became a fixture of sort in our psyche, Buhari has evolved severally; he has become a convoluted and conflicted brand. From an inspirational national leader, he withdrew into the conclave of an ethno-religious champion and a fanatical extremist who has sought without apologies to anyone, to undermine everything the Nigeria nation stands for.
We will be guilty of extreme naivety to wave off these tendencies that are so manifestly glaring in the APC presidential candidate as figment of our imagination or merely “contrived handicaps” by Buhari haters to undermined him like my Egbon Waziri has done.
While Mr Adio will have us believe that the well deserved appellation is “contrived handicaps”, the facts and records of history speak to the contrary. As I said, Buhari has become deeply conflicted and I say it without mincing words and that contrary to Waziri Adio’s position, Buhari is an ethno-religious fundamentalist. The ark of history is on my side here. The fact that Buhari is being rebranded by the APC apparatchiks and has consequently toned down his extremist views about North/South and Muslims/Christians of the country, for political correctness does not make him any less a religious extremist. I even find the whole rebranding project pretentious, deceitful, and unflattering to the iron-cast inscrutable image of the General. My admonition to those behind it is that you cannot change a man from who he is to who he is not.
The proof of Buhari’s ethno-religious leaning is stated here in his own words and recorded position on issues pertaining to Sharia and the interest of the North as against the overriding interest of Nigeria. If Waziri Adio so fervently believes that Buhari is not a fundamentalist, what does he make of Buhari’s statement 27 August 2001,“I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria. God willing, we’ll not stop the agitation for the total implementation of Sharia in the country.’’
As if that was not enough, Buhari stated further, “Muslims should vote for fellow Muslims who can defend their faith”. If Waziri Adio so strongly believes that the fundamentalist toga was ‘contrived,’ what does he make of the above?
Just a few weeks ago, Atiku Abubarkar called Buhari a religious bigot and warned that Nigeria doesn’t need a religious bigot as president. I believe Atiku played that up for his own political advantage because of the primary that was coming up where he alongside other contestants squared against Buhari, but even at that, he was merely stating a self evident fact.

Recall also that during Governor Rasheed Ladoja’s time as governor of Oyo state, Buhari travelled all the way from Daura in Katsina to visit Governor Ladoja in Ibadan. It was no ordinary visit, but a protest visit that Ladoja’s people were killing his (Buhari’s) people. Still wondering what all that means? Well, you don’t have to wait for long. Here it is. It was all about the clashes between Hausa-Fulani herdsmen grazing with their cattle in indigenes’ farmland and destroying their crops. Buhari’s exact words were: “Your people are killing my people.” If this is not a sufficient proof of this man’s sectional-ethnic affinity and inclination then, someone will have to tell me what is. Governor Ladoja was so disappointed in Buhari, that he issued him a rebuke, urging him to play the statesman instead of narrow ethnic interest that chips away at his position as a former head of state.

Just last year, when the state of emergency was declared in parts of the North-east to tame the menace of the devilish and blood-thirsty Boko Haram which has severally broken its own worst record of human carnage, Buhari stated in an interview that he was against the state of emergency and military action against sect, which he described as a grave injustice to the North. According to him in his lamentation, “unlike the special treatment the federal government gave to the Niger Delta militants, the Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished.”
Waziri Adio should tell Nigerians what Buhari meant by that statement. If it was not supportive of Boko Haram and at the same time playing the ethno-religious card, then half the world is not enough as a gift to me. Now, how can a former head of state even make such a statement? What was it meant to achieve? Any objective deductions from Buhari’s statements will inevitably come to the sane conclusion that many Nigerians have come to - a religious fundamentalist who wants to right the perceived ‘wrongs’ done to the north.
Lest we forget, The same Buhari was once nominated by Boko Haram as their chief negotiator even though he reluctantly declined. But why did the murderous terror sect choose Buhari of all people, a former head of state of Nigeria, as their negotiator from a motley crowd of qualified ethno-religious champions who believe that power belongs to the north or “northerners are born to rule”? I am unable to find an answer to this question except to think that perhaps, Boko Haram trusted him more to represent their interest. Was this also ‘contrived’?
It is easy to rebuke those who call Buhari a religious fundamentalist or an extremist, but Buhari’s character portrait and utterances over the years speak to the answer. I was once a big fan of Buhari in the 80s, and for the life of me, I agonised over many sleepless nights when my ‘hero’ started to unravel before my very eyes. His war against indiscipline endeared him to me. It was good for society and it remains an enduring legacy in the country today.
While this write-up is not an assessment of the failings of Buhari’s regime from 1984, I am of the belief that a man who executed three young Nigerians with a law retroactively implemented and has remained unrepentant, unremorseful and still believes in the rightness of that action, his sense of morality and righteousness must be deeply flawed. And for those who think Buhari’s views have matured over time, I say, I wish. We seems to have forgotten so soon how innocent youth corpers serving in parts of the north were killed just because Buhari lost the 2011 presidential election? And I dare say the language of his campaign was largely responsible for those killings.
I am also not impressed with the narrative out there that Buhari believes in fighting corruption with total commitment, even though he may not be personally corrupt and I dare say, he is not. He allows certain things under table and in some cases, negligently aids and abets corrupt acts. Remember the 53 suit cases? What about his stewardship at PTF? It is not as flattering as some would want us to believe. And before I forget, in 2008, at the 10th anniversary of the death of Abacha, Buhari declared to the consternation of all Nigerians that Abacha was neither corrupt nor a thief. “He did not steal Nigeria’s money,” he declared sternly with military fiat. This is despite the fact that several countries had returned hundreds of millions of dollars to Nigeria as part of Abacha’s recovered loot. I don’t know if this position was also ‘contrived’ by Buhari’s hate club. If not, I don’t know how much good this does to the General’s image as an anti-corruption leader that is being daily burnished in the media. Anyone who denies this fact of history that Abacha did not loot the treasury cannot be an honest person and for Buhari to do that speak powerfully to the charge against him. It is an eloquent testimony that tells a lot about what his promoters would not want to talk about.

The harrowing traffic chaos that we all suffer and agonise over today in Lagos is a direct result of Buhari’s narrow and parochial minded view of economic affairs of this country. The cancellation of the Lagos Metro Line project after commencement of work remains a sad reminder of Buhari’s lack of vision and foresight. Tragically, those who have borne the brunt of that unfortunate action are today the very people packaging, marketing and promoting him to be president partly with the resources of the Lagos state. Thankfully, our memories are not like architecture that is often described as frozen music.
This is Professor Wole Soyinka’s take away on Buhari in 2007. It is like he just wrote it yesterday, “The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the alternate choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naïve. History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the-scenes assurances. Public offence, crimes against a polity, must be answered in the public space, not caucuses of bargaining. In Buhari, we have been offered no evidence of the sheerest prospect of change. On the contrary, all evidence suggests that this is one individual who remains convinced that this is one ex-ruler that the nation cannot call to order. Need one remind anyone he was one of the Generals who treated a Commission of Enquiry, the Oputa Panel, with unconcealed disdain. Like Babaginda and Abdusalami, he refused to put in appearance even though complaints that were tabled against him involved a career of gross abuses of power and blatant assault on the fundamental human rights of the Nigerian citizenry. Prominent against these charges was an act that amounted to nothing less than judicial murder, the execution of a citizen under a retroactive decree. Does Decree 20 ring a bell? If not, then, perhaps the names of three youths-Lawal Ojuolape(30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) do. To put it quite plainly, one of those three-Ogedengbe-was executed for a crime that did not carry a capital forfeiture at the time it was committed. This was an unconscionable crime, carried out in defiance of the pleas and protests of nearly every sector of the Nigerian and international community, religious, civil rights, political, trade unions etc.”
It is a tragic irony that some of those rooting for and shouting sai Buhari! sai Buhari!! are members of the Fourth Estate of the Realm who suffered terribly under the General’s jackboot. Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor must be pinching themselves and wondering what has happened to society’s gatekeepers’ memories.

This is Genevive Nnaji's daughter and not the picture you've posted.

BREAKING: NFF 'Congress' has just elected a new President in the person of Chris Giwa against the directive of FIFA. Nigeria we hail thee! FIFA sledgehammer looms again; and this time, Nigeria may be disqualified from the AFCON qualifier against Congo -- thus paving the way for the Congolese and South Africa to qualify.


This election won't stand the test of time:

1. Giwa is indicted by a panel that investigated him for fraud and embezzlement.

2. Both FIFA and CAF were supposed to send a delegate to monitor the election and they did not because there was a clear directive from the body to postpone the election today.

3. Maigari and some State FA Chairmen, who were supposed to be part of the delegates are still clamped into detention.

The list is endless my brother.

That's why we are Africans, nay third world. Were this to happen in developed world, they would take advantage of it to increase their scientific knowledge. But here, we are quick to dismiss it with a wave of hand. CNN is awash with news of people claiming to have seen one UFO or the other. Over there, that boy will be picked up by FBI for deeper investigation rather than castigating. AFRICA!!

Just learnt that riot has broke out in Addis Ababa after Nigeria conquered Ethiopia in the World Cup qualifying playoff, Sunday.

THE LIST

Goalkeepers: Vincent Enyeama (Maccabi Tel Aviv, Israel); Austin Ejide (Hapoel Be’er Sheva, Israel)

Defenders: Efe Ambrose (Celtic FC, Scotland); Elderson Echiejile (FC Braga, Portugal); Kenneth Omeruo (ADO Den Haag, The Netherlands)

Midfielders: John Mikel Obi (Chelsea FC, England); Ogenyi Onazi (SS Lazio, Italy); Fegor Ogude (Valerenga FC, Norway); John Ogu (Academica de Coimbra, Portugal)

Forwards: Ahmed Musa (CSKA Moscow, Russia); Brown Ideye (Dynamo Kyiv,

Ukraine); Victor Moses (Chelsea FC, England); Babatunde Michael (Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine); Nnamdi Oduamadi (A.S Varese 1910 FC, Italy); Obafemi Martins (Levante FC, Spain)

The Chelsea duo of John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses tops a list of 15 overseas-based professionals that Super Eagles’ Head Coach, Stephen Keshi, has invited for this month’s 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against the Harambee Stars of Kenya.




Eleven of those called were in the squad that lifted the Africa Cup of vNations in South Africa last month, while rapid-raider Obafemi Martins makes a return, and there is a surprise call for Ukraine-based Babatunde Michael, who played for the Dream Team at the inaugural CAF U-23 Championship in Morocco 15 months ago.

Dark horses

Midfielder Nnamdi Oduamadi, who also shone brightly for the last U-23 squad in their qualifying games, is called. But the biggest dark horse, so to say, is Portugal-based midfielder John Ogu.

African champions Nigeria take on Kenya’s Harambee Stars in one of the Day 3 matches of Group F of the 2014 FIFA World Cup race.

Nigeria lead the group on four points while Kenya bring up the rear with only one. They clash at the U.J. Esuene Stadium, Calabar on Saturday, 23rd March.

Capital LIE. Keshi does not have the gut to do that. He is merely flying kite so as to say 'They don beg me'. Did he not go back to Togo after they sacked him? The man can't spit out the honey comb in his mouth at the moment. HE CAN'T. ;

[b]Fashola and his cronies are tribal bigots. He is always quick to close down anywhere his people are not predominant. A bomb ripped apart a building during the Christmas period inside Lagos causing several buildings there to quake. Till date, the owner of the warehouse that stored the explosive devices is never fished out and the market still thriving there; whereas an adjacent street that had a building burnt by fire in a separate incident had all the shops there shut-down since October last year with majority of the traders there being Ibos.

He has shut down mile 12 again for second time in less than six months. Ebute Ero market by the foot of Eko Bridge is worse than any other market in Lagos, yet nothing of such has ever happened there. The stench that oozes out of that market can kill. The traffic congestion it causes by shop owners who pack their vehicles right on top the bridge linking third mainland bridge is excruciating. There are double and triple packing on the bridge without any consideration to users. I have never seen a single LASTMA official there towing vehicles for wrong packing or challenging the chaos it creates simply because the Yorubas dominate the market. Fashola is worse than Awo in tribalism. His time will surely come and he will move over just like every bigot. [/b]
