Please folks, let us stop shouting Isa Funtua, head of cabal and be jubilating he passed away. His only offense is that he was a friend of the President. By every means, he was a successful man, being a journalist, an editor, a publisher and owner of Bullet Construction.

Now we seem to ignore one thing which we can learn here from him, Abba Kyari, Tony Momoh and Osinbajo: loyalty. Even when Buhari was losing, Isa Funtua, Mamman Daura and Tony Momoh never abandoned him; not because they supported him for what they could gain, but because they believed in him and put friendship ahead of profits. How many Nairalanders are loyal to their friends if there is nothing to gain? See, Ume Ezeoke betrayed Buhari in 2007, Buba Galadima left Buhari at the nick of time, Mike Ahamba who would have become Minister of Justice left too; yet, we expect Buhari's unofficial advisers to be people who'd betray him when there is nothing to profit?

Even Abba Kyari many demonise, steadied the interrelationships between ministers. Less than a year after he departed this life, too many cracks are visible in Buhari's cabinet, Abike Dabiri vs Pantami, Pantami vs NCC DG, Magu vs Malami, Akpabio vs Joi Nunieh, etc. Let us pray for Isa Funtua. Many of the things people have said about him are speculations, and we must not bear false witness against our neighbour. Isa Funtua is a person who used his influence to give jobs to his people and contracts. And that is not a bad thing. What is your Senator doing or rich man in your village? That should be your problem and not Isa Funtua.

May the souls of those who have departed this life this year journey peacefully to paradise, amen. May those of us here understand that one day, we too would go to the other side and we won't like it if people peddle falsehood about our stewardship on earth...amen.

Political journey that is nepotically lopsided and polarized Nigeria. The winner takes it all politics, my people come and chop politics. Nigeria has failed. Corruption every where. As an example NPA were a civil servant will buy two houses worth 150 million each from were did they get the money, NEDC, etc.

If I were your friend and I can't look at you in the face and tell you, my brother things are not right with the way things are happening around you. Then it means, either I am a partner in crime with you, or I am just sticking with you as a result of what I am getting from you.
If truly Isa Funtai was not part of the rot in the system, then he should have been able to advice Buhari to change his leadership style which is currently not favourable to we the poor masses. Except if you want to tell me that things are moving in the right direction in the country. Meanwhile I can never be a party to those that rejoice at the demise of others and at the same time, death is inevitable. We must all experience death if God tarries according to my believe and religion.

See how time flies. Death is inevitable though but all those that fought to bring the leader of indigenous people if Biafra down are going gradually. Name them if you can! From Abba Kauri down.... This God is the God of just! I always say that there is nothing Good in the governance of this party called APC. Just pure pure evil Agenda! Are they not taking the their price now? They thought there is not God but God is watching. More evil men will fall! Mark the word! God is at work!

I am beginning to notice a trend on NL.

Most of the Tinubu attack dogs like seunmsg, techmo, festacman, sarrki are gradually beginning to distance themselves from Buhari and his core CPC loyalists.

I even noticed a number of them rejoicing over Isa Funtua's death.

Clearly, all these while, their support for Buhari had been all about waiting for their chance at the plum, and not borne of patriotism.

A word for them.

If this country's history is anything to go by, the most powerful and most prepared politician/person never gets to be President.

Nzeogwu's coup failed. Aguiyi Ironsi became HOS without asking for it.

Murtala Mohammed's coup succeeded but Yakubu Gowon became HOS.

His coup against Gowon was successful but shortlived. An unprepared OBJ became HOS.

Next, an unexpected little known Shagari became President ahead of heavyweights like Zik and Awo, winning a second term.

Buhari became HOS after a coup by Idiagbon, IBB etc. He wasn't even prepared for it.

At the height of their power, IBB took over on another coup, and stayed there eight years. IBB, not Idiagbon.

An all-powerful Abiola won elections but was denied the seat, just like that. It was rather given to an unknown Shonekan.

Before he could settle down, Abacha struck.

When Abacha thought he had the country under his thumb, he died. Abdulsalam took over, not Useni.

Next an OBJ became president from being a prisoner ahead of Ekwueme of the G34 heavyweights.

At the height of Atiku's influence, OBJ outwitted him and got a second term back.

After OBJ, while heavyweights like Atiku, Odili etc were bumbling around, Yaradua became President.

Nigerians had to even protest before a GEJ could become acting President, later winning another four year term from obscurity.

Buhari, after hanging his boots was brought back in from oblivion and repackaged, becoming President in an incredible feat.

Now Tinubu is sitting back, all-powerful, expecting to take over, after Buhari.

But one thing is clear. Nigeria has never operated that way. Tinubu has already attained the height of his power and as an elderly man, should see the history of the country and accept that he is not favored to take over.

For all those saying that a Tinubu or a whoever will change Nigeria, I shake my head.

Noone can change Nigeria.

Unless we restructure this country, there will be no progress. The problem is not the Head, it is the system, the whole body.

Take it or leave it, it is what it is.
