Buhari has failed as Minister of Petroleum; he simply lacks the health, the capacity and the creativity to manage Nigeria’s biggest revenue resource.

g0tze:

For once you made sense. If you continue like this, the world will be a better place.

You think we like buhari here. We are only replying people that tries to talk shit to yorubas, not buhari. We give no damn about buhari.

PRESS RELEASE

FULANI HERDSMEN, OPC WARNS BUHARI

Dr. Frederick Fasehun, President of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that the $1 billion security loan the government is canvassing for would be employed in fighting killer Fulani herdsmen.

He also asked the President to relinquish the Petroleum Ministry, as well as unbundle the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing and hand the resultant establishments over to three professional ministers.

Speaking in Lagos at a Press Conference, themed “STATE OF THE NATION 2018,” the OPC Founder said the first duty of government was to provide security, a task he said President Buhari had woefully failed to discharge, especially in relation to killings by Fulani herdsmen and Fulani militia in what, it said, appeared to be a case of organised ethnic cleansing against Northern Minorities and other Nigerian tribes.

Fasehun, who was flanked by OPC’s Deputy President, Otunba Wasiu Afolabi, and its National Coordinator, Alhaji Mudashiru Adeniji, said: “In the wake of this ugly genocides came the shameless and insensitive pronouncement by the government’s spokesman, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture, on no less a medium than the BBC, that the Fulani herdsmen were a lesser threat than the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB. It was an uncanny statement. For the government to have this unperturbed attitude to Fulani herdsmen, internationally reputed as the fourth deadliest terrorist organisation in the world, amounts tyo ignoring a dangerous viper on the bed. Ranking after Boko Haram, ISIL and El-Shabaab on the Global Terrorism Index, armed Fulani militias today constitute the real threat to national unity, with their rapacious evil campaigns throughout the length and breadth of this country.”

As far as OPC was concerned, clearly, the pastoral nomadic lifestyle of the Fulani herdsmen was no longer fashionable and sustainable, and they should be compelled to embrace modern ranching as obtained worldwide.

According to him, the killings persisted and perpetrators were emboldened by the fact that no single Fulani killer had been hanged for murder.

OPC issued a warning.

“This cannot continue. Killers must be brought to book and made to feel the full weight of the law. Nobody has a monopoly of violence; and in the face of threats to their very survival, people will eventually resort to self-help, a move that can tear this country apart and turn Nigeria into a free-for-all killing field. The military and other security forces must tackle the menace of Fulani militias by declaring a security emergency, disarming Fulani herdsmen and bringing Fulani killers to justice,” the group said.

Fasehun lamented that the government had also failed on the economic front.

In his words: “The economy is in shambles, infrastructure dilapidated, insecurity widespread, workers’ salaries are unpredictable and corruption has new merchants among the President’s henchmen.”

He accused Buhari of failing in his campaign promise to stop importation of petroleum products, revamp the refineries and reduce the pump price of petrol, and urged him to learn from President Goodluck Jonathan who appointed a substantive Minister of Petroleum.

“Nigerians are tired of the ongoing blame game between government and oil marketers. All Nigerians want is FUEL! An oil-rich nation like Nigeria, owning four national refineries, has no business importing fuel! Buhari has failed as Minister of Petroleum; he simply lacks the health, the capacity and the creativity to manage Nigeria’s biggest revenue resource. Buhari should relinquish the mantle of Minister of Petroleum to a competent and experienced petroleum industrialist whose sole mandate will be to get the refineries operating at full capacity and ensure local production for domestic consumption within three to six months,” Fasehun said.

OPC demanded the political restructuring of the country, pointing out that, the United Kingdom, Nigeria’s former colonialist had restructured to the point of substantial granting autonomy to Wales, Ireland and Scotland.

The group said: “As currently constituted, Nigeria needs to be restructured. The current system is not only robbing Peter to pay Paul, it has encouraged audaciousness, ingratitude and indolence on the part of Paul. It is a monkey-dey-work-baboon-dey-chop arrangement that cannot survive. Right now, Nigeria’s Centre is too powerful. The country should return to the pre-military 1963 arrangement agreed by our nation’s founding fathers with autonomy and devolution of power to the regions and the states.”

Is he also an IPOB miscreant?

You don't need to read the entire article. This short excerpt will show that Fasheun is a man of courage and perspicacity.

Na lie, my heart no melt. Aboki worshippers will never criticize their Masters. It will only be "Ehh Sah, Yes Sah, Ese Sah".

Abbycite:




One thing am proud of my tribe for is that, they remain the only ethnic group with a standby militia group. Sometimes, I wondered why those people affected with fulani menace are doing. This cannot happened in any of the Yoruba states without serious consequences on the perpetrators.

Infact, we wont go after them since their tactics is to attack and dissapear. We will go after their kinsmen in our midst. You kill 5 of us, we kill 50 of you.....you kill 50, we kill 2,000 of you. When the heat is unbearable for both of us, even the useless FG will be forced to declare state of emergency.......have u'all ever wondered whe the dreaded boko haram av not touched Lagos or anywhere in Yorubaland.....

So what happened in osun state where even the oba and many yorubas were locked up is what?


Ogbeni sora re o

The President's prolonged silence on this issue suggests he is a closet "Fulani Herdsman" himself.

One thing is sure... the fulani must be pushed back to their enclave. APC must shop for a replacement for President Buhari, AND NIGERIA MUST BE RESTRUCTURED!

Is that related with ethnic cleansing......abi u think, we have crying governors like u guys. The first and only time these people cross their boundary, a governor in the southwest publicly armed the local militias and ordered them to shoot on site. We dont joke with our lives, we dont tolerate outsiders maltreating us in our abode.....we are proudly Yorubas!

Well done OPC.

Well said by OPC

ZONE- B

If OPC means business, the north is finished. Truth be said: Nigeria's unity and Fulani monopoly, is because the Yorubas are silent to some extent. If they rise, like in the days of yore, and align with the South, the line dividing the northern and southern protectorate will once more be visible, and this fulani empire will crumble..

AFONJAPIG:
ZONE- B

Leave Afonjas

Nice one from Fasheun..

Buhari should call his brothers to order cos every Nigerian lives matter.
#Enough said

THE MAIN SOLUTION TO NIGERIA'S PROBLEM

We all know the main problem behind nepotism and widespread killings in Nigeria (especially in the Northern part).

Kindly read this:
A Very powerful man, named Saul in the Bible was seriously persecuting the Christians after Stephen died.

When he later got converted by Jesus Himself, he turned out to be the Greatest Apostle in the New Testament after Jesus!

This is where our answer lies! These killers (Herdsmen, Cultists Ritualists and other terrible elements), their sponsors and their sympathizers were raised and trained to do what they do by their environment and influencers, the same way you do the things you do because you were trained so.

Now to change a grown person is very Herculean if not impossible. The only way a person can change is if God changes the person from his heart.

But God needs us to pray so He can have the permission to intervene and Change these killers, their sponsors etc.

If we start spending MORE AND MORE TIME PRAYING FOR THE CONVERSION OF ALL THE KILLERS, THEIR SPONSORS AND THEIR SYMPATHIZERS like Paul (Saul the former Church Persecutor) rather than just criticising the situation, in NO distant time, We will have a lot of them converted to Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace!

If each of us is praying continuously for their conversion, our prayers will, like rain drops falling continuously and causing a flood, will bring about their needed transformation.


Imagine the Strong Political Leaders fully embracing Jesus Christ! NIGERIA will be PARADISE!!

Kindly spread this message and start praying continuously as this is our most viable SOLUTION.

NIGERIA WILL BE GREAT AGAIN in Jesus Name, Amen!
