Family / Women Should Reject Marriage As It Cages Them And Limit Their Potentials by cyrilamx(m): 12:32pm On Mar 20
An X user had satirically lent his voice with that of feminists on how marriage cages women and limit them from reaching their true potentials. Below is his words of “defence” from his X account.



Considering marriage makes women give up their ambitious, trailblazing and paradigm-shifting dreams, I find it troubling, if not a tad misogynistic, that men still propose matrimony to women they claim to love.

Men know marriage limits women, much like a cage limits a bird, yet they find a way to ensnare them into a horribly oppressive patriarchal construct.

A man who truly loves a woman will not marry her. He will help her maintain her freedom and keep her unrestrained by the shackles of wedlock so she can actualise her dream - whatever that is.

Anyone with half an eye can see how pioneering and visionary the average woman is; how it is typical to see them on podcasts, Whatsapp, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok and Instagram talking about their dreams of being the next Elon Musk, Satoshi Nakamoto or Steve Jobs. We hear countless women daily express their undying objective of being the richest person on the planet through industry, or being the most powerful person in the world.

Just yesterday, I spoke with so many young women in their late teens and early 20s in one of the universities in the country, and they all said they wanted to be among the top 10% of software engineers in the world. One even said she hopes to Revolutionise interplanetary travel and spearhead the colonization of mars by 2030.

Hence, it is an egregious disservice to mankind, for men to cage the adventurous, inventive and high-achieving half of the population with marriage and reduce them to cooks, house cleaners, sex slaves and child-breeders.

And it is for these reasons, I do not disguise my contempt for married men. when I see one, I see an oppressor. I see a dream killer. I see a man who has clipped yet another pair of high-flying wings which would have embraced the winds of destiny and reached for the stars. Then I feel an intense and overbearing sadness for his innocent wife.

A man who marries a woman does not love her. And a woman who accepts a man's proposal does not love herself.

Women are only loyal to their feelings and not your sacrifices. Helping a woman is like pouring water into a basket. I love the courage of the man to put emotion aside and meet her demand with a counter “an eye for an eye” demand.

Crime / NDLEA Lists Legal Grounds Why It Can’t Arrest, Prosecute President-elect, Tinubu by cyrilamx(m): 11:58am On Apr 29, 2023
By Idowu Bankole

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has filed a preliminary objection to a suit instituted by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and a chieftain of the opposition party, Senator Dino Melaye seeking an order of mandamus to compel the anti-narcotics agency to arrest and prosecute the President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu over alleged forfeiture of some funds in his bank accounts over two decades ago in the United States.

In its notice of preliminary objection signed and filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday 26th April 2023 by its Director of Prosecution and Legal Services, Joseph Nbona Sunday, NDLEA submitted that the application by the PDP, which is the 1st applicant with Melaye as 2nd, is incompetent, adding that the court lacks the jurisdiction to entertain it and as such, should be struck out.

Listing its grounds for the objection, the NDLEA said both PDP and Dino Melaye “do not have a locus standi, they do not possess an interest peculiar to them and above the interests of all other Nigerians, the only underlying specific interest of the 1st Applicant then becomes political in nature”, adding that the investigation and prosecution of Tinubu was targeted at removing him as a bona-fide candidate in the February 25th 2023 presidential election.



The Agency argued that “Order of mandamus is an equitable remedy and should only be applied for in good faith and should not produce an indirect or underlying result. The Doctrine of Judicial Self-restraint precludes this Honourable Court from delving into matters with political colouration or matters aimed at getting direct or indirect political goals.

While noting that the foundation of the PDP application was the proceeding of the US District Court of the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division in the US, “the judgment in the said proceeding was given “with prejudice”, adding that “the said proceedings and judgment have no judicial value”, and as such “the supposed cause of action of this suit as constituted is baseless and legally unsustainable.”

In a sworn affidavit in support of the Agency’s preliminary objection, a litigation officer attached to its Directorate of Prosecution and Legal Services, Chia Cosmas Depunn said that
as an independent agency of government saddled with the responsibility to investigate, arrest and prosecute persons involved in drug trafficking and other related offences in Nigeria, the NDLEA has a healthy relationship with the government of the United States of America, the name of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu “by whatever acronyms or combination of names has never featured in the exchanges we had with the United States of America.”

He further claimed that the name of Tinubu has also not featured in the radar and data base of the Agency as a person arrested, investigated or prosecuted in connection with drug or other related offences.

While noting that though NDLEA relies on intelligence and information from foreign and domestic partners as well as public spirited individuals, both PDP and Melaye have never for once since the establishment of the Agency in 1990 made or forwarded any complaint, information and/or intelligence on Tinubu or any other person in Nigeria or outside the country relating to illicit activities on drug matters until 17th January 2023.

To further justify the position of the Agency, the litigation officer in the sworn affidavit also made the following submissions:

“That this suit as presently constituted does not confer the Court with jurisdiction.

“That the 1st Applicant does not have locus standi to institute this suit as it does not possess interest peculiar to it and above the interests of all other Nigerians.

“That the only peculiar interest of the 1st Applicant is to get rid of the 6th Respondent as a candidate of a rival political party.

“That the interest of the 1st Applicant is political in nature.

“That the 3rd Respondent is an independent Government Agency that has no political colouration or affiliation.
“That the Court has a duty to insulate the 3rd Respondent from political controversies.

“That the suit is baseless, frivolous and brought in bad faith with the sole aim of achieving a political objective using the instrumentality of the Court process.

“That the facts and circumstances of the case require the Court to apply the doctrine of judicial self-restraint.

“That the 2nd Applicant is not an officer or executive or management committee of the 1st Applicant.

“That the 2nd Applicant has no locus standi to institute this suit as he does not possess any interest peculiar to him and above the interests of all other Nigerians

“That an Order of Mandamus is an equitable remedy.

“That the Order of Mandamus must be applied in good faith to promote the public interest.

“That the Order of Mandamus should not produce an indirect or underlying result.

“That he has gone through the supporting judicial proceedings and noted as follows:

“That the matter was a civil forfeiture proceeding in rem brought by the United States of America as plaintiff against certain accounts held in the name of the 6th Respondent.

“That the object of the suit was to forfeit the funds or a certain part thereof in the said accounts as proceeds of illicit traffic in drugs.

“That the suit was not taken out against the person of the 6th Respondent.
“That the suit was not a criminal indictment or charge.

“That the standard of proof in civil forfeiture is based on the balance of probabilities.

“That the standard of proof in a criminal indictment, charges and proceedings is proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
“That the burden of proof in criminal procedure is much higher than that of civil procedure.

“That the Orders of the United States District Court of Illinois delivered by Magistrate Judge John A Nordberg in Suit No. 9C4483 relating to the release of the funds held in Citi Bank N.A. and Citi Bank International which funds were the 2nd and 3rd Defendants in the suit were made “with prejudice”.

“That the Orders of the District Court in the Citibank Accounts places a barrier on any further proceedings relating to the Account.

“That only the Orders relating to the funds held in Heritage Bank where the sum of $460, 000.00 was forfeited was made simpliciter and without a caveat.

“That the Orders made by the US District Court of Illinois were made to incorporate “the stipulation and Compromise Settlement of Claims to the Funds Held by Heritage Bank and Citibank” earlier filed by the parties in Court.

“That the judgment of the US District Court of Illinois put to an end to issues relating to the forfeiture and release of funds as contained in the Settlement Agreement.

“That the cause of action for mandamus requesting the 3rd Respondent to investigate and prosecute the 6th Respondent is founded on the judgment of the District Court of Illinois which has put the matter to rest.

“That the cause of action of the Applicants is dead and legally unsustainable.
“That it is in the interest of justice to dismiss this suit with substantial cost.”

Crime / American Firm Uncovers Nigerian Govt’s N28 Trillion Stuck In US Banks by cyrilamx(m): 9:42am On Apr 09, 2023
On May 28, 2021

An asset recovery firm, Forensic Assets Investigation and Recovery Services LLC (FAIR), says it has uncovered $69 billion (about N28.3tn) in illegal oil deals by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) stuck in American banks.

According to the American firm, the funds are stuck in banks based in Texas. The firm said it could recover all the identified funds if Nigeria agreed to pay its expenses and compensation.

FAIR disclosed this in a confidential memo forwarded to the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for Recovery of Public Property (SPIP), The Punch reported Friday.

According to the report, the funds were believed to have been siphoned from undeclared crude oil sales under the Goodluck Jonathan administration allegedly by the NNPC officials and their collaborators in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Nine billion dollars of the total sum was allegedly traced to a bank account linked to late National Security Adviser (NSA), General Andrew Azazi, who died in a plane crash alongside the Governor of Kaduna State, Patrick Yakowa, in 2012.

FAIR’s memo was said to have informed a March 18, 2019 letter written by former SPIP Chairman, Okon Obono-Obla to President Muhammadu Buhari to seek his approval to authorise FAIR to commence the recovery of the funds.

“Mr President, we intend to work together with the Americans in order to secure the recovery of the definite $9bn within 3-5 months they stated and to engage them to see and recover the larger part of the estimated $60bn-$80bn stolen from Nigeria during the oil boom. Also, to engage the NNPC and the CBN in the overall recovery of those funds in the United States.


“Our prayers to the President are: To approve the engagement of the American company to recover the funds and assets in the US and to approve the support of the visiting American firm to integrate software technology in the CBN in order to trace fraud funds.

“To approve the presence of interface offices of the Special Presidential Investigation Panel in NNPC and the CBN. Your Excellency, the immediate recovery of the identified $9bn within the stated timeframe of 3-5 months will totally eliminate borrowing to fund the 2018 budget deficit and sustain the 2019 budget,” the letter was said to have read in part.

However, the matter was said to have been abandoned after President Buhari removed Obono-Obla and directed the Solicitor-General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Justice, Dayo Apata, to take over the affairs of the SPIP.

Politics / Obi’s Face-saving Litigious Bluster Against Peoples Gazette by cyrilamx(m): 10:17am On Apr 08, 2023
Saturday, April 8, 2023

For at least three reasons, I really wanted to stay away from the hoopla that attended Peoples Gazette’s publication of Peter Obi’s “religious war” (or “Thank you, Daddy”) phone conversation with Living Faith Church’s Pastor David Oyedepo.

One, there was nothing in the conversation that was surprising to me. I have repeatedly called attention to the unmistakably Christo-centric tenor of Peter Obi’s campaign, which his deluded defenders disingenuously deny even when undeniably overwhelming evidence unquestionably points to it.

Unlike many people, however, I don’t hold this against Obi. It was his tactical and strategic response to APC’s same-faith ticket and PDP’s nomination of a northern Muslim as its candidate after eight years of a northern Muslim presidency.

In a deeply fractured country like Nigeria, when a competitive electoral contest pits entrenched collective identities against each other, as I’ve pointed out several times, it’s inevitable that political gladiators will deploy religion and ethnicity as tools for mobilisation.

Second, I recognised that Obi’s “religious war” comment to Oyedepo was merely his attempt to cultivate what we call consubstantiality in rhetorical studies, that is, establishing mutual ideals, values, interests, and attitudinal dispositions with the person or people you’re speaking to. Every human being seeking to persuade does it.

Oyedepo is a militantly passionate anti-Muslim preacher (who once told congregants to never give alms to any “Malams by the roadside” who beg them “in the name of Allah”), so the best stratagem to achieve identification with such a person is to invoke the spectre of a “religious war” with Muslims. And it was very effective. “I believe that. I believe that. I believe that,” Oyedepo said in response to Obi’s claim that the 2023 presidential election was a “religious war.”

Although Obi deployed anti-Anglican bigotry (and often framed Chris Ngige as a “Yoruba man” in order to delegitimise him, which Okey Ndibe condemned in his columns) to gain and retain power when he was governor of Anambra State, I have not seen any credible evidence of Islamophobia against him.

Significantly, Obi is Igbo and Oyedepo is Yoruba (in common with Tinubu, Obi’s mortal opponent), so Christianity is the only obvious margin of overlap between their lived experiences. Obi exploited that overlap to establish kinship with Oyedepo, like any politician would do. I don’t have a problem with that.

Finally, I think Southern Nigerian Christian politicians suffer a linguistic disadvantage that their Hausaphone northern Muslim counterparts don’t when it comes to the exploitation of religion for politics. They discuss their strategies of religious mobilisation in English, Nigeria’s national language that most people have access to, but Hausaphone northern politicians discuss theirs in the Hausa language, which isn’t accessible to most people in the South.

Muslim Northern politicians have uttered similar or worse sentiments than Obi’s during political campaigns, but their verbal indiscretions often don’t leak out because of linguistic barriers. On the few occasions that they do (such as when Buhari exhorted Muslims to vote for only Muslim politicians who’re sympathetic to Sharia or when he said the dog and the baboon would be soaked in blood if the 2015 election was rigged), northern defenders muddy the waters by accusing southerners of mistranslation, of literalness, of incompetence in understanding interlingual equivalence between Hausa and English, etc.

And, frankly, how many people will come out smelling good if their private communications are made public? We all have what scholars call a duality of scripts. We sometimes say different things for public and private spaces, although I think publicising the private thoughts of politicians who’re seeking political offices that put them in positions to determine the destinies of millions of people is fair game.

So, I was prepared to let this slide until Obi issued a statement calling the leaked telephone conversation “fake” and threatening to “take appropriate legal actions against Peoples Gazette and others” for publishing the tape. (By the way, who are the “others”?)

That statement implies that he will sue the Peoples Gazette for libel. I am convinced that this is mere face-saving litigious bravado that will peter out quietly. In libel law, truth is the most important defense. The tape is NOT fake, so Obi can’t conceivably win a case against the Peoples Gazette.

First, on April 1st, the Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ) fact-checked the audio tape and found that it is neither AI-generated nor altered by editing. “FIJ subjected the audio to a deepfake test using Deepware, an AI tool used to detect alterations in audios and videos,” the publication wrote. “Deepware’s deepfake detection technology ‘was designed to detect deepfake videos or, simply, any fake content in the areas of visual and audio communication.’”

I also personally used multiple deepfake detection software and found no evidence that the audio was edited or generated by Artificial Intelligence.

Plus, Obi’s presidential campaign spokesperson by the name of Kenneth Okonkwo confirmed the authenticity of the tape and even retorted that “Honesty is the best policy” when he was unremittingly bullyragged by the headless mob of revoltingly primitive social media rapscallions who call themselves “Obidients.”

Obi’s close personal media aide by the name of Valentine Obienyem also all but confirmed the genuineness of the tape and only added the requisite fib that spokesmen of Nigerian politicians must tell by claiming that “They edited out the Muslim-Muslim ticket that led to the discussion, where Obi said that in a society like ours, religious balancing was a necessary consideration and that their recklessness had made Christians to assume it was a religious war.”

That’s the most persuasive admission yet that the tape is real. Obienyem gave an insider’s confirmation that the conversation did take place. Is he and Okonkwo the “others” that Obi threatened to sue alongside Peoples Gazette?

Well, Oyedepo himself hasn’t questioned the veracity of the tape. He only said Obi was one of several politicians who routinely call to seek his blessing and counsel and that he is not a political partisan. Maybe, he is also part of the “others” that Obi will sue. He basically confirmed the Peoples Gazette’s story.

More than that, though, Peoples Gazette gave Peter Obi and his aides ample pre-publication opportunities to respond to the tape before publishing it. The paper said it gave Obi and his aides 48 hours. They didn’t respond.

The paper reached out to Oyedepo via WhatsApp who asked to be sent the audio file. The paper did. Oyedepo read the WhatsApp message, but never responded 24 hours after the fact, probably because he remembered the conversation but couldn’t defend it with the resources of logic and reason.

So, what will Obi tell the courts if/when he sues Peoples Gazette “and others”? If he says the tape is fake and Peoples Gazette insists that it isn’t, the court will call IT experts to authenticate it. The result will embarrass Obi, diminish his credibility irretrievably, and herald the death knell of his budding national political career.

That’s why I think he is merely blustering—or that unscrupulous lawyers want to get his “shishi,” which he doesn’t like giving out to people. In law, if a piece of information causes you to suffer reputational damage or emotional anguish it isn’t libel if it is true. Irreproachable scientific proofs and circumstantial evidence conclusively show that the audio tape is real. Obi has no legal basis to seek redress from the Peoples Gazette.

If Obi had threatened to sue on the basis of the invasion of his privacy, that would have been a different matter altogether. Although Section 37 of the 1999 Constitution provides that, “The privacy of citizens, their homes, correspondence, telephone conversations and telegraphic communications is hereby guaranteed and protected,” there is not a sufficient body of judgements against privacy violations in Nigeria to determine how the courts will rule.

But privacy violation isn’t the basis of his threat because that would confirm that he did utter the words he is disclaiming. The basis for his litigious threat is the claim that “the audio call being circulated is fake” and that “At no time throughout the campaign and now did I ever say, think, or even imply that the 2023 election is, or was a religious war.”

That’s in the realm of libel. In light of watertight evidence that it is he who is lying, not the Peoples Gazette, let’s see if he’ll have the courage to follow through with his threat. I am salivating in anticipation.

Politics / Chimamanda Adichie: A Slave In Love With Her Chains by cyrilamx(m): 11:54am On Apr 07, 2023
LEGENDARY J.O.E

chimamanda adichie
A branch directly from the tree of Chinua, …not surprising.

Chinua (Achebe) almost at the departure lounge parted this planetary realm with a brilliant work of art titled “There was a country”, an account of Civil War, where the Giant of Literature and author of one of the most celebrated works of art ‘Things Fall Apart’, forsook decorum and divorced the truth to denigrate The Great Awo. Heaping all the blames on the respected nationalist, Prof Achebe was only a letter short of accusing Awolowo of his (Chinua’s) paralysis in later years.


Prof Chinua Achebe Author of Things Fall Apart
A fatal misrepresentation of history, abandonment of facts and assassination of the truth, and as Prof Wole Soyinka, the first Africa’s Nobel Laureate (in Literature) and one, who was an active participant in the war, said, “That was a book I wished Chinua never wrote”.


As there was Chinua, there now is Chi; another writer of international appeal, one widely considered as brilliant, talented and highly industrious, but as we have seen with our men of God, even the greatest of men are still men.

She threw her literary weight behind Obi in full exercise of her fundamental human rights as a proud citizen. But the election had come, gone and determined and a winner has duly emerged with a name bearing letters not forming Obi.

Our president elect is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Candidates in the race are at liberty to disagree with either the process or the outcome. The displeasure could even be extended to questioning nationality of the president elect, his gender, his age, his duration in bed or even his height.


The judiciary is an all comers affair where the good, bad and the ugly are so tolerated including the sane and insane demands like that which assumes Abuja residents are all hermaphrodites, and their possession of both genitals should confer upon them dual votes.

Obi’s special agent at Upper Iweka had certainly been elevated from granting just security counsel to legal matters, for only from such deserted Wells, can such filthy waters be gathered.

Chimanmanda writes United States of America to complain about (the) elections held in far away Africa; the same USA whose election is at this very moment being contested?


Our dear Chimanmanda must have forgotten Nigeria is sovereign and not at the whims of any country. Chimanmanda must also consider that her public pre-election support for Peter Obi renders any post election position of hers deeply partisan and would best be considered as any other political jab from spokespersons.

I made reference to the judiciary earlier. It remains the only window provided by our revered laws where post election dissatisfactions and disagreements must be channeled for interpretation and reconciliation, and anything outside the legal perimeters could easily be termed treason and the gifted author stands so warned or is our learned literary giant suggesting extra constitutional means for Obi to be president?

No one is too young or too old or too gifted to be jailed if their path infringe upon the law.

Chi didn’t live through the colonial Era, I could have suspected post-colonial trauma, perhaps our dear Chi is a slave in love with her chains.

The struggle of the likes of Anthony Enahoro and Awolowo has since broken such shackles of slavery, and never again are we going to submit ass for ramming.

Your man lost, Ngozi. He lost woefully, live with it.

Chi dwells in a world of fiction and she had received deserving laurels for brilliantly presenting imagination as reality. I fear Ngozi is now stuck in that world of make-believe.

Politics however isn’t fiction, remain in the terrain you are most familiar with and leave politics to the men with the breeding for it.

She referenced self inflated online polls which predicted Obi the next president, the same polls that projected victory for Obi in Ekiti 😆 Again, politics is not fiction.

Obi did not just lose now, but he would never be president.

As the curios student you are, this what Ghana did in 2007. By using the Nigeria factor. N1000 is the highest currency in Nigeria now. If Nigeria chooses to act “smart” by making it look that there currency is stronger, they will eliminate like 2 zeros from their N1000 making their highest currency to be N10. But in reality N10 will still be able to purchase same amount of goods and services as N1000. So if u have like N100000 in account, it will automatically become N1000.

bro don't say that people are experiencing worse here.. you dont know that it is painful to discover that our highest currency has no value at all.. can you compare the purchasing power of 1000 naira and 1000 cedis together
This is where u goof. Remember in 2007, Ghana redenominated her currency, which is a simplification of nominal value of currency by reducing digit (zero number) without reducing the real value of the currency. Thus removing 4 zeros from their currency to make it look strong where by in reality it is nothing. Thus 1 Cedi is in reality 10000 cedis. Thus Nigeria naira has more purchasing power to the cedi. N1000 is far stronger than 10000 cedi. https://www.pwc.com/gh/en/publications/redenomination-of-the-cedi.html

An old, sick and corrupt man like Tinubu should never be any country's president. Nigerians have already rejected him but we will continue fooling him that he stands any chance so he can bring out some of his loot.
But you forgot that it is Tinubu’s vision of LFTZ in 2006 that is now the host community of Dangote Refinery and Lekki Deep port. Without that vision, maybe Dangote would hv taken his refinery elsewhere. Hate him or love him, Tinubu is a visionary. No present presidential candidate comes close to his ingenuity. Even The Eko Atlantic Thant now houses the biggest US embassy is also the brain child of Tinubu in 2003.

Oga stop trying to interpret Obi’s words. Go back and watch the YouTube video. Obi emphatically said the brewery employed “60% of Anambra state people” not 60% of the employees are Anambra.

Impound this guy’s car now, you see how his family and friends will try to emotionally blackmail you telling you how he is the breadwinner, how it is just a mere traffic offence. Honestly if we wants to be seen as unbias, the law must be upheld against politicians as well as siren merchants who are the greatest traffic violators.

You are a failure of history.

Gowon was never in the position when the Kaduna Ezeigwo, Ifeajuna, banjo Ademoyoga, etc. killed the Tafawa Balewa, etc.

It was the failure of Hausa/ Fulani soldiers that to obey brigadier Ademulegun and subsequent afront from Ojukwu who said he can't take directive Gowon.

Meeting were called in Aburu Ghana to resolve d the issue of those that were killed and many that left the northern part to the eastern side.

The failure of Gowon government to complied with the agreement reached in Aburu that led to Ojukwu declared Biafra state.

Google it and read history books.
Oga stop attempting to rewrite history or deflate the evil the Ironsi govt did with such unification decree 34 of 1966. With an open mind whether u called it individual actions or not, a particular region not only ended the first republic but also destroyed our True federalism. That twin actions of 1966 got us to this pains.

Watch real projects done by done by Peter Obi, covered all sectors, he did all the projects without borrowing, or owing workers, pensioners or gratuity still saved #75 billion for his successor, that's what make Peter Obi different from other politicians in Nigeria


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA8mlDohS0M
when most of you Obi supporters make some statements like “Obi didn’t borrow”, I wonder if you are tally from facts or just what is circulated in your WhatsApp group. Evidence abound that Obi borrowed and increased the debt profile of Anambra state by more than 200%. Dispute this fact.

He should have used " speaking different languages" instead. When one doesnt want to use simple grammar, one confuses himself and the audience cheesy
oga speaking in tongue is a metaphor for different language. As happened in Pentecost Sunday.

Most guys are not living their reality. I haven’t gotten any reasonable response so far yet they are so quick at throwing tantrums. I’m still waiting
plan along with your income. Truth is majority of ladies live in illusion of dating/marrying a rich dude—yes ladies are hypergamous. No wonder hook up is curative for them because they have litany of wants-human hair, iPhones, wears, fixing of nails they want to satiate. Even in relationship most ladies still do hook up. Only thing is contentment with what you have, and continue to develop oneself.
