Nigeria finished the night you took up arms, looaded your gun to kill a totally innocent man who helped truncate the same coup d'etat that you were upset about.
Killed a man just because the people who organized a previous coup come from the same region like him.
I'm happy people like him and gowon are still alive to see the one Nigeria they killed millions of Igbos for

The huasa/Fulani's used the minority northerners to fight that civil war given them hope that ,they the minority northerners will always be given a place to rule Nigeria but today no one knows them , gowon , danjuma and Joseph akahan a TIV man from benue were all used

Will there be bandits the billions they stole was distributed to millions of people in poverty that turned armed robbers and kidnappers.

You can't steal all the resources of 200 million and expect peace.
You didn't even read. Many of them are foreigners. Some West African countries have similar issues. Distributing money does not solve poverty. That's beer parlor economics. What the government should do is build infrastructure, educate the citizens, secure the country and attract investors. People will Naturally build wealth.

Nobody is laughing. This is just the calm before the storm. The bandits were never fought; those captured have been released.
If it seems there is a lull in their activities, it's because of the elections.

Shettima is their kingpin. If he becomes president via an APC victory at the ballot, those who voted them in and celebrate them the most ( Southwest) will be the first to be run over.
Continue mocking .







The global election campaign has begun and I strong believe that the time has come for the citizens to rewrite the wrong we need in the past. But it must start from me and you... Shettima becoming the VP through the APC party is big a catastrophe and dangerous to our nation at large. Am not veiwing this through region or mulism perspective but individual in question..... let's VOTE wisely,I rest my pen here.

Nigeria had the opportunity to stave off these fulani terrorists, but instead of other regions to stand and support the Igbos that was fighting for resource and territorial control, they decided to gang up with their enemies and start a war that is still consuming the whole of Nigeria till today, as far as the real owners of Nigeria don't want to have sense, visitors may devastate the country and take it. We were here when fulanis came up with some rubbish written and binded together and called it constitution while we just keep quiet and look.

Theophilus Danjuma (he used to answer "Theophilus" whenever a Christian was the president and "Yakubu" whenever a Muslim becomes the president), was a "Major" in the Nigerian Army during the January 15th coup that led to the overthrow of Tafawa Balewa and the killing of the Sarduana of sokoto, together with other Army officers. During that coup which was led by Kaduna Nzeogwu in Kaduna and Ifeajuna in the South, the Kaduna operations went successfully according to the plotters plans and within 30 minutes, Nzeogwu was announcing the coup as successful. But down South in Lagos, the then Chief of Army staff one General Aguiyi Ironsi confronted the coup plotters and crushed the coup. He will later arrest all of them , including Kaduna Nzeogwu whom he used Obasanjo (Nzeogwus best friend then) to lure to Lagos from Kaduna. That was how the January 15th coup ended, otherwise the president would have been either Ifeajuna or Nzeogwu.

Six months later, northerners who felt that most of their politicians and military men bore the greater chunk of the killings that occured during the January 15th coup, which has now been dubbed "The Igbo coup", started protesting. Their sons in the army started plotting on a "revenge" too. It was a very toxic period politically. General Ironsi was aware, yet trusted northern officers with a great deal of strategic appointments. For instance, colonel Gowon was made the Chief of Army staff. The question for those who wanted revenge was; revenge against who? Revenge against igbos!? But Igbos did not send Nzeogwu nor Ifeajuna to organize a coup. These officers plotted this coup out of their own volition. But by July 29th of the same year, a counter coup by northern officers was on its way. Most of the officers who organized this counter coup of July 29 were from the present day middle belt with few coming from the far north. Some of them will end up becoming very politically powerful in Nigeria afterwards. They included Major Theophilus Danjuma, Gado Nasko, Murtala Muhammad, Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida, Mamman Vatsa, Ibrahim Bako, Sani Abacha, Bissalla... etc

In July 1966, General Ironsi who was now the Head of State following the death of the prime minister Tafawa Balewa, was going around the whole country trying to dtum up support for a "unification decree" he was touting that was very unpopular in the north. He travelled to Ibadan from the north to consult with local leaders. In the early morning of July 29th, the officer who was chosen for the job of securing the president while he was at Ibadan, organized his men and attacked the governors lodge there with northern soldiers! He abducted Ironsi, tied his legs to a military truck, dragged him around Ibadan and later shot him dead in few hours time , together with the then military governor of the western region! This officer will then team up with other northern officers to kill every Eastern military officers in the barracks! More than 300 military officers of Eastern origin were killed this way. The irony here is that most of these killed officers even helped Ironsi to stop the Jan 15th coup from being a success story! Some were buried alive..

That officer that was in charge of Ironsis security but later abducted and killed him was/is no other than Major Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma. That was how that crooked military officer became so prominent and powerful in Nigeria afterwards. He, with his murderous gang will later ter continue the killings during the war and destroyed whatever that was left of Nigerias unity afterwards. Nigerianns always forget too that Danjuma was also the one ex General who made it a point of duty to go to Aso Rock towards the end of the 2015 elections in other to warn Jonathan to hand over to Buhari. He did so because they never trusted Jonathan from Day one, since Jonathan was not a preferred northerner. Danjuma thought that Buhari had a more general Northern agenda but he was wrong, Buhari had his own plans. Dude was fixated on the Fulani agenda. All these later days buyers remorse from Danjuma has a lot to do with Buhari outsmarting him and little to do with his socalled love for Nigerians.

This is not the issue under discussion. The question is: Is Danjuma right or wrong? I think he is right. Nigerians, open your eyes! A vote for Tinibu is a vote for Shettima to take over and complete this terrorist agenda. Whether you are southwest, southeast, South South or North Central, no body is exempted. Vote wisely in 2023. General Danjuma is a retd senior army officer, a former defence minister and KNOWS what he is talking about. God save Nigeria.

WHY NIGERIANS MUST NOT VOTE ATIKU

-Presidency is zoned to the South for 2023 presidential election because President Buhari, the current president, is a Northerner.

- Atiku is a fulani man. He should not take over from President Buhari another fulani man. We are not operating Fulani Republic of Nigeria. Quota system, Federal character and Rotational presidency remain the mode of carrying out affairs in Nigeria.

- Atiku will do nothing about Fulani bandits/boko haram because he has soft spot for his fulani brothers. Meaning that killing of indigenous people of Nigeria will continue unabatted.

- Atiku supports amnesty for fulani bandits/boko haram which is a confirmation of his soft spot for fulanis, his brothers.

- Atiku believes that it is the fundamental right of fulanis to roam about with their cows, hence he is anti-open grazing laws. Meaning farmers and herders clash will continue under Atiku and he will do nothing.

-Atiku is too desperate for power, just for power sake, because he has been contesting elections since 1992. Just calculate how much MONEY he has spent on these elections and convince me that he will develop Nigeria when he comes into power.

-Oh, I will NEVER forget Atiku deleting his tweet condemning illegal killing of Miss Deborah Samuel by some fanatical muslim students because he was threatened by some muslim fanatics to support the killing or forget the 2023 presidency. its obvious, members of other religions will be at the mercy of muslim fanatics if Atiku becomes president. Till today, nothing has been done to the killers of Deborah Samuel because President Buhari has soft spot for his muslim brothers. Like Buhari, like Atiku. Religious bigots.

-Atiku, as VP to President OBJ and in charge of BPE sold our national assets as peanuts to cronies for selfish gains, without considering national interest.

SAY NO TO ATIKU PRESIDENCY AND VOTE WISELY
