Why do you have to pay people to surpport you since you claimed to be popular? This is similar to vote buying. A popular Candidate won't have to pay for people to defend him whether online or offline. Such ought to be done freely out of love.
No wonder the hired urchins lack content other insulting people out of frustration and always copying and pasting same thing copied from their WhatsApp groups. This is a sign of defeat.

We yoruba christians will vote Obi since Tinubu is on muslim-terrorist ticket. When MURIC terrorists told yoruba muslims not to vote yoruba christians, Tinubu supported MURIC on that, so SW Christians are not fools to vote muslim-terrorist ticket. Christians are not stupid beings.

Politics › FG Bans Cash Withdrawals From Public Accounts by AntiTerrorist(op): 7:03am On Dec 21, 2022 |
Ehis AustinThe Federal Government is set to activate the stoppage of cash withdrawal from all public accounts with immediate effect.
In place of cash withdrawals, public officers are to open domiciliary accounts in foreign and local currencies ahead of the commencement of the new policy, which follows on the heels of the new Naira withdrawal policy introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
A statement made available to POLITICS NIGERIA on Tuesday, disclosed that the Director/CEO of the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), Modibbo Hamman Tukur, gave the new directive at a parley with the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmud Yakubu, in Abuja.
The action is also said to have been activated following the observation that most cash withdrawals from government accounts including payments for estacode for public officials, are often in excess of the cash withdrawal limit provided by the Money Laundering Act.
The development, according to the NFIU boss, exposes innocent public officials to being liable to imprisonment. https://politicsnigeria.com/breaking-fg-bans-cash-withdrawals-from-public-accounts/?utm_source=operamini&utm_medium=feednews&utm_campaign=operamini_feednews |

Politics › 2023: Will Buhari Vote For Tinubu? by AntiTerrorist(op): 6:51am On Dec 19, 2022 |
Muhammadu Buhari started his presidency with “I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody.” Will he end as a nobody’s man? Sometimes, and for some, it is gracious to maintain one’s lane, listen to your own vision, single, unattached. French statesman, Charles de Gaulle, who holds the copyright of “I am a man who belongs to nobody and who belongs to everybody” deeply said on another occasion that “If Joan of Arc had married, she would no longer have been Joan of Arc.” Whatever that means – Joan was 15th century France’s iron lady of war and vision. Immolated at age 19, she had no time for men and marriage and family but she is remembered forever as a saviour of France and its patron saint. Buhari, from what we’ve seen of his years, is no Charles de Gaulle and definitely not Joan of Arc to Nigeria. And after benefiting from a political marriage, can Buhari be neutral, truly non-aligned in the 2023 presidential contest? Will he? If he won’t, where is he?
I will be shocked if I am the only person who wonders where Buhari belongs between PDP’s Atiku Abubakar and APC’s Bola Tinubu, two bosom friends fighting over the president’s seat. You know Atiku’s party and Bola Tinubu’s party and the zero-sum ground they hold. The two were part of a national coalition that made Buhari’s presidency possible in 2015. There are persons who vow that for that reason, undergirded by reasons of region and religion, Atiku may in 2023 get Buhari’s vote or, at worst, get him not to lift a finger for the APC and its Èmi l’ókàn candidate. Very interestingly, Buhari clocked 80 on Saturday and Atiku, candidate of the main opposition party, not only issued a statement to celebrate the APC president, he instructively placed newspaper advertisements for him. So, what is happening?
Two months to a presidential election, Buhari is not canvassing votes for his party; he is asking Nigerians to vote for any candidate they fancy. That is strange. We saw President Barack Obama with candidate Hillary Clinton throughout the Democratic Party’s campaigns of 2016. One newspaper (New Telegraph) reported two days ago that “Tinubu’s men fret over Buhari government’s aloofness.” Reporters hear stories. That was not the first time I had heard of grumbling and rumbling in the ruling party over presidential social distancing in the APC campaigns. I know the Lagos content of the APC and their supporters are wondering why Buhari has refused to be part of their candidate’s globe-trotting campaigns. I know you would say that the president was at the flag-off of the campaigns at the Rwang Pam Township Stadium in Jos on November 15, 2022. Was his presence real – body and spirit? Someone said ‘they’ begged the president not to disgrace ‘them’ by not being physically there. If that is true, his presence, therefore, may be what the Yoruba call gbà jé n sinmi (take, let me rest).
The newspaper report is worth quoting copiously and I am doing so because it appears to tally with what I have heard in low tones in several APC crevices. I quote the report: “I must tell you that the situation that we (Tinubu’s supporters) have found ourselves is that of an abandoned orphan. It’s unfortunate that we have been left in the cold by government that was elected on the platform of our great party, the APC…We are campaigning like an opposition party just jostling for power and not like a party in power, which is very unfortunate. Though we recognise that the president has a busy schedule that would have prevented him from being at many of the rallies of the party, I don’t think he has demonstrated sufficient interest to know the situation of things with the campaign efforts.” The New Telegraph said that its source, “an influential member of the South-West Agenda for Bola Tinubu (SWAGA)” was sad that ministers and other key government officials had been distancing themselves from the campaigns: “The question is, save for the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr. Festus Keyamo, who is one of the spokesmen, how many of the ministers and government officials have openly shown support and solidarity with the campaign since we commenced?” The report, however, quoted Keyamo as declaring that Buhari “is the heart and soul behind the campaign…He wants free and fair elections but he is with Asiwaju more than 100 percent.” He didn’t say anything about Buhari’s men who are not busy like the president but are perpetually absent in the party’s campaign life. Significant here is Keyamo’s friend, Rotimi Amaechi, and similar tendencies in the party. Where are they?
Buhari enjoys being aloof and staying far from the madding crowd. Ironically, it was the madness of that crowd that rescued him in 2015. Today, he is a nobody’s man. What does it mean to be a nobody’s man in this world of ‘help me, I help you?’ Danish singer and songwriter, Tina Dickow, dropped a hint in her love lines with the title ‘Nobody’s Man’: “Take what you want from me/Take what you can/And then hide it somewhere I can’t see/Out of my hands…/Do what it takes to make you feel better/Never forget that you, you’re nobody’s man…” What kind of friend or lover takes what he wants from his partner then hides it where the benefactor “can’t see it” and out of her hands? A friend who saw me struggling with this on Sunday wondered why I was weeping more than the bereaved. He told me: “Did Tinubu not say famously that he was the one who singularly made Buhari president after three disastrous defeats? Let Tinubu now do for himself what he boasted he did for the perpetually unelectable Buhari. He does not need Buhari.” I was tempted to agree with my friend. This is the time for Tinubu’s physician to heal himself and shame the charm of overrated incumbency. Is Tinubu happy not seeing Buhari beside him at his Kaduna and Minna rallies? You are not likely to hear complaints directly from the principal victim because he is a Yoruba man. Wise elders use proxy hands to hunt snakes. Besides, the Yoruba say it is not befitting for an elder to cry for help (Gbà mí gbà mí kò ye àgbàlagbà). More importantly, a chief hunter that comes home with an elephant unaided is the celebrated one. You know the worth of the king of warlords when he captures worthy enemies, muskets and amulets – the ones sewn tight in tiger’s skin and the ugly ones in alligator’s hide.
A rainbow coalition birthed the APC which sired Buhari’s magical presidency. The Jewish Talmud says, “do not throw a stone into the well whose waters you have drunk.” There is a similar saying in Yoruba about water fetchers who do not mind if the stream is polluted after they are done. In day-to-day village dealings, this is wrong; in politics, poisoning the well and the stream may be an act of political goodness. Buhari needs no preacher to tell him that his peace and relevance after a riotous eight years in power depend on who replaces him. The future he envisions for himself and for Nigeria may not align with what he sees around him. If someone dreams of transiting from being a partisan to a real statesman and has read Machiavelli, he will likely say and do what Buhari is up to – refuse to keep friends; refuse to pay back political IOUs; refuse to be mounted to power like a beast of burden; pitch this lion against that lion and set the forest ablaze. Machiavelli in Chapter XV of his ‘The Prince’ says “it is necessary for a prince wishing to hold his own to know how to do wrong, and to make use of it or not according to necessity.” He argues that “if everything is considered carefully, it will be found that something which looks like virtue, if followed, would be his ruin; whilst something else, which looks like vice, yet followed brings him security and prosperity.” A Machiavellian leadership values being practical higher than being morally good. For “if moral goodness is a hindrance to maintaining political power, then a prince must learn how not to be morally good.” And, to the lucky rich who think Buhari owes them for favours of the past and are offended by his rhetoric of enforced fairness in the coming polls, I say sorry.
Is Buhari indebted to any politician in the APC? I recommend a study of the Fulani worldview on luck and fortune and who is destined to use what the lucky acquires. Fortunes spent on making Buhari president for two terms are divinely ordained. He owes the spenders no payback. The Fulani say you are a lucky person (an arsikaadho) when, without hard work, you get whatever you desire, including wealth. For better elucidation, I quote a scholar here: “Luck in this case is a para-natural essence of life, which makes the arsikaadho lucky but not necessarily blessed, in which case the arsikaadho seldom enjoys lasting happiness. What then happens to the fortune obtained by luck? It generally benefits blessed acquaintances. This is what the Fulani mean by ‘ko arsikkadho dhabbhanta barkindho,’ which translates, ‘the lucky accumulates fortunes for the blessed to enjoy.’ “ (See Mohamed Camara. 2008:53: Benediction and Malediction in Fulani Culture. Indigenous Nations Journal, Vol. 6, No. 1). The bullion van people are the ‘lucky’ ones, the arsikaadho; our president is a Fulani, blessed with a destiny to enjoy what the lucky accumulates; he owes no one.
Buhari speaks today as a nobody’s man. Last month after meeting King Charles III in London, the president, in an interview, asked Nigerians to “vote for whoever they like from whichever political party.” A president who said this is not likely to hop from jet to jet campaigning for someone. He has repeatedly promised that he would not be anybody’s fool or tool of interference in the coming polls’ processes. He has said so everywhere he has been in the last couple of months to the sorrow of those banking on presidential sleight of hand to win. I am not surprised that the South-West APC is not at ease at all. They daily read Abuja’s lips and steps and exchange furtive glances. They sigh. Even Buhari’s recent currency change is being seen as a vital component of his war against politics – and against those who won’t succeed him. In the London interview cited above, Buhari vowed that he wouldn’t allow any candidate to intimidate voters or buy them with dirty money. He explained why he approved the introduction of new naira notes: “My aim is to make sure that Nigerians believe that we respect them as an administration…Nobody will be allowed to mobilise resources and thugs to intimidate people in any constituency. That is what I want to go down in Nigerian history for as a leader.” Wahala! Candidates who have mobilized armadas of bullion vans of raw cash for the polls have real reasons to be worried. The old currency notes expire on January 31, 2023 – twenty five days to the presidential election. https://tribuneonlineng.com/will-buhari-vote-for-tinubu/

Politics › Adebanjo Reveals Former President Supporting Obi’s Presidential Ambition by AntiTerrorist(op): 3:20pm On Dec 18, 2022 |
The leader of a pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, Ayo Adebanjo has revealed that he and former president, Olusegun Obasanjo are supporting the presidential ambition of the Labour Party (LP) flagbearer, Peter Obi. Adebanjo while giving the reason for supporting Obi’s presidential ambition said it is for a better Nigeria.
The Afenifere leader in an interview with Punch said his past issues with Obasanjo were not personal, adding that they are united in supporting Obi.
During the course of the week Obasanjo, Adebanjo, Obi and others were spotted together at a condolence visit to the family of the late Minister of Aviation, Mbazulike Amechi.
Obasanjo while speaking at the gathering had said, “What I believe and what I believe that Chief Ayo Adebanjo believes is not ethnic, sectional or religious, it is Nigeria and Nigerians. When I go out and people thank me, I say, ‘What are you thanking me for?’ and I tell them, ‘Please, stop thanking me. Why should you be thanking me?’
“I believe in equity, justice and one Nigeria. I have shed my blood for this country. I have gone to prison for this country, so what are you going to frighten or threaten me with? The only thing that my senior brother (pointing to Adebanjo) hasn’t done is that he hasn’t shed his blood, but he has gone to prison. Let us leave it at that.”
Adebanjo, however, interjected, saying, “You have not shed your blood, you only attempted to, because you are still alive.”
Obasanjo further stated, “What of the blood I shed at the war front? I can show you where it hit me and nearly touched the wrong place,” as he pointed at and made a veiled reference to his private parts. His response was also greeted by laughter from the audience.
Obasanjo continued, “The problem we have right now is not ethnic, it’s national. For me, the first thing that is important in a leader is character. The problem we have had over the years is that we don’t have leaders who have the right type of character for which they should be entrusted with a leadership role. So, if I put my finger on anything or anybody, it is because comparing one with another, I see that there is a merit that would be of benefit.”
Adebanjo in the interview with Sunday Punch said, “What unites us is Nigeria. All the time I disagreed with him, there was no personal issue. It was on this issue of Nigeria and we agree it should be better. We all agreed that Obi is the man. That is why we are friends. And that was what we made clear to the people of the East. It was the question of Nigeria and we were able to demonstrate the importance of Obi’s victory in the election. Even people who do not agree on things agree on this one.
“That is to show you that we elderly people are united in one thing: bring Nigeria together. We are not looking at the past; that will not help us now. What will help us is to amend all the evil things that the (President, Major General Muhammadu) Buhari (retd.) government has done. The man (Buhari) is telling us he has done his best when his best is the worst administration we have had in the past 20 years.
“Not all of them have been having issues-based (campaigns) and that is the truth, but Obi has been running issues-based campaigns. He has been very consistent about what he plans to do. Tinubu’s people have been abusing people, while Atiku’s people are also attacking them.” https://www./2022/12/18/2023-adebanjo-reveals-former-president-supporting-obis-presidential-ambition/amp/

Politics › Re: Lagos Agberos And The 2023 General Elections (A Must Read)! by AntiTerrorist: 2:16pm On Dec 18, 2022 |
Ratello: *Lagos Agberos And The 2023 General Elections (A Must Read)* - Dr. Abdulrasaq Shittu
In Lagos, about 85% of Danfos on the roads don’t have working headlights, brake lights, signal lights, functional seat belts or other safety devices.
You don’t have to believe me; just take a ride around the city and see for yourself.
Let us not even talk of valid driver’s license. Most danfo drivers don’t have one.
Meanwhile, as a private motorist in Lagos, you dare not lack any of these driving necessities. Otherwise, you stand the risk of getting your vehicle confiscated by overzealous LASTMA or VIO officials.
In addition, in Lagos, danfo drivers will run the red traffic light, take one-way, constitute all manner of traffic nuisance, yet they rarely are punished for these.
Simply, Lagos Danfo qualifies as one of the most dangerous means of public transportation in the world.
Now, have you ever wondered why danfo and other commercial vehicle drivers are allowed this impunity in a state that has LASTMA, traffic Police, VIO, and FRSC?
Well, it is simple. I will explain.
*Danfos And Extortive Levies*
In Lagos, as many Danfos are needed to be on the road. This way, they can contribute to a pool of levy collected by a vicious cartel that masquerades as the State road transport unions.
In other words, if every danfo that conflict with the law were to be arrested, it will leave very few danfos on the road. What that would translate to is less levies collected by the ‘agberos’.
I’m sure someone is now getting the picture.
This is the simple reason why Danfos are above the law in Lagos State.
Now, here is the thing; every road traffic law enforcer is complicit in this intricate scheme: LASTMA, Police, VIO, FRSC, etc.
In fact, if you are a frequent commuter that uses danfos, you're probably already familiar with terms like "Owo LASTMA," "Owo Olopa," "Owo Chairman," etc. These are some of the levies that danfo drivers are forced to pay to the agents of the cartel.
These monies are then paid to the traffic law enforcement agents for them to turn a blind eye to the shenanigans of Danfo drivers in the state.
*Lagos State Government And The Agberos*
The national body of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) recently suspended the Lagos State branch of the union, which is headed by the notorious MC Oluomo.
The suspension came as a surprise and generated a stir in one particular circle.
Now, guess what happened.
Almost immediately, the Lagos State government headed by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, hastily formed a new transport union. It was christened the Lagos State Parks And Garages Management.
Now, guess who was appointed to lead the new Union?
Yes. You guessed right. MC Oluomo.
By this action, the Lagos State government did in fact confirm that it is the main enabler of agberos and their mischiefs on Lagos roads.
Now, the big question is: Why was it necessary for the hurried formation of this new union by Sanwo-Olu?
Well, the answer is simple: 2023 is just by the corner, and funds need to be mobilized for the campaign season.
I hope I am getting somewhere?
* The Infamous Lagos Traffic: A Gold Mine*
The Lagos road transport cartel, which is made up of various Lagos road transport unions, is the biggest beneficiary of the notoriously chaotic road traffic in the State.
Additionally, there are irrefutable evidences that a prominent personality in the State and a former Governor is the chief supporter and shareholder of these unions.
According to a 2021 report by the International Centre for Investigative Report, the Lagos Chapter of NURTW generates a staggering N123.08billion ANNUALLY.
This amount exceeds the average annual IGR of most Nigerian states.
For better understanding, this amount is more than the annual budgets of Niger, Yobe and Nasarawa COMBINED!
It is also important to note that the Lagos transport unions add no value to the roads that generate so much for them:
They don’t build roads.
They don’t fix potholes.
They don't clean drainage systems or gutters.
They do not clean even the bus stops and motor parks where they operate, etc.
An important question at this point is: Where do all these incredible sums of money that they collect go?
*Lagos State IGR*
Undoubtedly, N123.08billion per annum is not a small amount.
Why doesn’t the State Government collect these levies since they are the owners of the roads that generate these humongous amount for the agberos?
Indeed, Lagos state would boast of far higher IGR than they now do if this sum generated by the agberos goes to the state treasury as it is done in states like Edo and Rivers State.
Why then does the state government remain silent while some private terror organizations profit from money that ought to have gone to the state treasury?
*Ambode And The Danfo Policy*
In 2017, ex-Governor Akinwunmi Ambode announced that there was a plan by his government to phase out Danfos in Lagos state.
What the naive Ambode did not realize was that phasing out danfo is not part of the much talked about “Lagos state masterplan”.
That announcement would ultimately cost him his re-election as Governor.
*Ambode And The Oshodi Bus Terminal*
The popular Oshodi bus stop alone has over 24 different motor parks spread across the place.
Indeed, Oshodi bus stop is a major money-spinner for the Lagos state ‘agberos’.
In September 2017, Ambode started a project to modernize the Oshodi bus stop.
With the construction of the ultra-modern Oshodi bus terminal, most of these motor parks were to be eliminated.
That is, as if the plan to phase out danfo wasn’t bad enough, Ambode was also planning to eliminate the various money-raking motor-parks at Oshodi.
Again, this turned out to be another “wrong” move by Ambode.
As time has shown, this plan by Ambode was also not part of the fabled "Lagos State Masterplan" promoted by the cartel and their allies.
These were the main reasons the powerful forces and the cartel ensured that Ambode didn't get the APC ticket to run for re-election as governor of Lagos State.
*Danfo and Lagos Traffic*
A former DG of LASTMA, Engr. Olajide Oduyoye, had consistently campaigned that Danfo is one of the chief causes of traffic snarls in Lagos. Indeed, he was a champion for the phasing out of danfo from Lagos roads.
Now, guess what.
Governor Sanwo-Olu sacked the man ostensibly for his opposition to the antics of the road transport cartel.
Clearly, the Lagos State government and the cartel were very determined to sustain danfo – an outdated means of mass transport on the road of the city that pride itself as a “megacity”.
*Lagos traffic, Super Wealthy Agberos And The Yoruba Youths*
Don’t be fooled. The horrific traffic situation in Lagos is deliberate. It is designed for the benefit of a small group of people.
The slower the traffic, the easier it is for the foot soldiers of the cartel to collect the various levies from the hapless commercial motorists.
Therefore, when next you are stuck in the horrific Lagos traffic, jut know that someone is smiling to the bank from your frustration.
Indeed, the traffic chaos in the state have made many agberos billionaires.
Sadly, this reprehensible system has also created employment for many Yoruba youths. Most of these Youths now dream and aspire to be the next “MC Oluomo”.
Why not? When they see the likes of MC Oluomo and his associates throwing extravagant “Owambes”, building mansions, hotels and petrol stations all over the place.
Little wonder why an average Lagos youth would tell you “school na scam”.
*The Obafemi Awolowo Legacy And The Agbero Syndrome*
The Yorubas were once-up-on-a-time famed as the most educated ethnic group in Nigeria. Thanks to the educational legacy of the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.
Sadly, all that legacy has been completely destroyed since 1999.
In the past 23 years, rather than continuing to create educational strategies to educate the South West region, there has been a remarkable recruitment of Yoruba youths as area-boys or agberos.
The poor ranking of South-West states in WAEC results are a clear indicator of how awful things have been for Yorubas since the start of the third republic.
Chief Obafemi Awolowo would be turning in his grave right now.
*The 2023 General Election*
The electioneering season has begun.
The Grand Patron of the Lagos Agberos is running to be the president of Nigeria.
Undoubtedly, the huge funds generated from the horrendous traffic in Lagos will be used to finance the campaign to enthrone him as the GCFR.
Let there be no misunderstanding: The sum of money involved is staggering!
This season, money will play an extremely important role:
Loyalty will be purchased.
There will be compromise of the moral standards of so many otherwise principled individuals.
Deals will be struck with appropriate and strategic institutions.
Overwhelming mass media and social media promotions will be undertaken.
Massive propaganda and campaigns of calumny will be sponsored.
Voters’ PVCs will be purchased.
Voters will be enticed with monies, etc.
All these will be done to ensure that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu becomes the next president of Nigeria.
Yes. The incredible amount of money to ensure that this happens is available.
Note: the use of danfo in this article refers to Danfo, "Korope", Keke riders, Okadas, and others public vehicles that are subject to extortion by Lagos agberos.
Dr. Abdulrasaq Shittu This is quite revealing, very expository. In 2023, vote Thiefnubuu so that he can replicate this accross NIGERIA. Let thugs be our federal ministers. We will be in it together. Nlfpmod Mynd44 OAM4J |

Politics › ‘The Most Greedy People In Nigeria Are Domicile In APC’ – Peter Obi by AntiTerrorist(op): 4:39am On Dec 17, 2022 |
The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has revealed the best way to fight corruption. Naija News reports that the former Governor of Anambra state made this known in an interview when asked how he would deal with the issue of corruption.
Obi noted that corruption has been a major issue with the opposition parties as they often project their parties and candidates as not being corrupt.
According to Peter Obi, Buhari is not corrupt in terms of Nigerian corruption, however, his personal integrity does not translate to the All Progressives Congress (APC) integrity.
The LP flagbearer noted that the key ingredient of corruption is greed and the most greedy people in Nigeria are domiciled in APC.
He said other ingredients of corruption include personal acquisition and appointment of family members in various major positions in government offices adding that the best way to fight corruption is through institutionalizing of governance processes. https://www./2022/12/16/the-most-greedy-people-in-nigeria-are-domicile-in-apc-peter-obi/amp/
