I think you need to read your story very well again.

Every Lives mattee

Every life matters. Maybe I am missing something. So kindly copy and paste the part that supports the claim that a large number of people were killed during the Sallah period. Or post any link to that effect.

This guy is supposed to be in Jail by now.

This is nothing but TREASON.

Our President is just too soft!

OBJ would have held his blokos tight by now!

The earlier PMB jettisoned this 'softness' the better it would be for our collective well-being. He can't just allow enemies of state a free reign on the basis of avoiding being tagged a dictator. Enough alredy

FarahAideed:
From your post

I posted the article for superior criticism so one could better be informed. All my attempts to validate Oshuntokum's narrative yielded no result. So if your assertion was based on what I posted, then you didn't read to understand it.

StillX10:
The Nigeria Army has been compromise, especially under APC and Buhari

You hop from one thread to another posting without reading the topic. How can you be educated?

StillX10:
Simply put we have a confused government in place

Government is confused? Hope you understood the narrative above.

FarahAideed:
Exactly, the Buhari govt has so much cheapened life that they now value life according to the location in which they were killed , according to Buhari govt 68 lives in malamari is not as important as 68 lives in Maidughri ..SMH

Dude, where did you get the 68 lives in Maimalari. Was there any killing in Maimalari? Or have you lost it like the shifty Oshuntokun?

Patience is always a virtue. It is the medium by which truth overtakes lies.

The channels TV program in question

Oshuntokun admitted to making errors with figures,date and place. He even quoted Reuters.
Ok 68 people were killed in a borno village rather than 88 in Maiduguri- Oshuntokun
The major occurrence in August so far as reported by major news outlets like premium times
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/208689-troops-rescue-88-kill-3-insurgents-bama-borno.html

On the channels program he was reminded that there was no bomb blast in Borno state in the time frame referred but he still went ahead to say this today
Further to what I have said, the two incidents happened the same day-and they occur with such frequency that it is difficult to keep pace with the orgy of bloodletting all over the country almost on a daily basis

Oshuntokun was a former presidential aide and director-general of the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN. How was he able to manage these positions?

Former presidential aide and director-general of the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, Mr. Akin Osuntokun has rebuffed challenges to his patriotism by the presidency saying that such allusions meant leaving substantive issues to chase shadows. He spoke in response to a claim by presidential aide, Femi Adesina that claims by Osuntokun in a television programme about bomb explosion in Maiduguri on Sallah Day were false. The statement had gone further to charge Nigerians not to be taken in by the narratives of those it called naysayers in the mould of Osuntokun.

But responding last night, in a statement, Mr. Osuntokun said: “It is just another demonstration of the penchant of this government for leaving the substance to chase shadows. Ok 68 people were killed in a borno village rather than 88 in Maiduguri. At the frequency of the prevailing dispensation of daily bloodletting who wouldn’t get the specifics and details mixed up. “I’m not the red cross who has the institutional capacity to keep every detail of these crimes against humanity. Does it matter that 68 were killed in Maimalari rather than 88 in Maiduguri and we are talking of the same day*. Does this mix up make me the enemy of the people rather than Femi Adesina who threatened Nigerians to concede their land to terrorists at the pain of being murdered?

,“Does it make me more a liar than president Buhari who repeatedly claimed that the price of crude oil per barrel had been over 100 dollars since 1999? In public accountability Who should the country worry more about between me and those who hold the reins of government who are pointing attention at the speck in my eyes while ignoring the beam lodged permanently in their eyesight? “Further to what I have said, the two incidents happened the same day-and they occur with such frequency that it is difficult to keep pace with the orgy of bloodletting all over the country almost on a daily basis.

Take note that he made no mention of the one reported by Reuters on the same day-that 68 people died. If I’m the enemy of the people by highlighting the failure of the government, what then do you call a government under whose dispensation Nigeria has become an abattoir. “Whether it is 68 or 88 people that were killed should a serious and humane government be quibbling about figures? This is yet another confirmation of the cruel and blundering insensitivity of this government-ignoring leprosy while chasing after guinea worm-as the Yoruba would say. And remember this is a government that claimed it has defeated Boko Haram since two years ago.”

Chief Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity had in a statement in Abuja, said there was no bomb blast on Sallah Day contrary to the allegation by a member of the Coalition for Nigeria Movement, CNN, that claimed the lives of about 88 people. Adesina in the statement said, “On Tuesday, August 21, 2018, Akin Oshuntokun, a chieftain of the stillborn Coalition for Nigeria Movement (CNM), appeared on Politics Today programme of Channels Television, and made the false claim that a bomb blast had gone off earlier in the day, killing about 88 people in Maiduguri, Borno State.

“Oshuntokun, a newspaper columnist and public affairs commentator, has never hidden his antipathy towards the Muhammadu Buhari administration, but to go on national television and tell lies of the most heinous kind betrays a mind taken completely over by ill wishes against his own country. “Sallah Day had passed quietly and peacefully, without even a firecracker going off, let alone bomb blast. That was contrary to what used to happen before the advent of the Buhari administration, when such festivals were turned to orgy of killings in many parts of the country by insurgents. Apparently, enemies of peace and progress had expected a return to the infamous past, thus Oshuntokun appeared on television with his bag of lies.

“When those on the programme remonstrated with him that they were not aware of any bomb blast on that day, he stood his ground, all in a futile bid to puncture the successes recorded by government in the area of security. “Till the Sallah holidays ended, no bomb blast was recorded in any part of the country, to the shame and discomfiture of the naysayers.”

Continuing, the presidential spokesman said, “One wonders: if there were bomb blasts, and more than 80 people truly died, what would be the gain of anybody, except those who have become blinded by malediction and morbid wishes? Is carnage something now to glory about? Is the struggle for power now so ghoulish that some people have lost their humanity over it? “Oshuntokun and his ilk should realize that this is the only country we have, and we can’t swallow poison and expect it to kill the next person. What we sow is what we reap. “Happily, however, those for a peaceful, united and cohesive Nigeria are more than those against it. That is why those with baleful, hateful thoughts would never win. “The tripod goals of securing the country, fighting corruption, and reviving the economy are central to the Buhari administration. Government is making strides in the three areas, and the conquests continue.”

iLoveAnambra:
after a stressful day mining sku.ll..

U need to rest

OK, go to sleep now. Not proper for you to be awake by this hour.

iLoveAnambra:
i think you have sold your soul to the devil..

After s stressful day in Ngbuka market you should be sleeping.

IPOID LAZY LYING YOUTHS are a curse to the Igbo race.

Hmmm, Oshuntokun really goofed on air. I though the man was a reputable political analyst that would rise above odious propaganda. I was. thoroughly disappointed. A certain Ogundamisi constructively picked Oshuntokun apart. Adesina and co should learn from him


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GraRSVp-Irs

Hmmm, who knows? There may be something about them that he alone is privy to.

Firefire:
The terrorist organization is known to be evil.

Don't mind PDP. They almost pushed the man under the bus with inappropriate advice to challenge the OYSG. He should be grateful for public sentiments for this reprieve.

Firefire:
Stupidity!

APC is a terrorist organization.

What do you know about this case Ogbeni? Don't allow the PDP spirit make you comment inappropriately

Now that victory is becoming assured attaches are seeking accommodation. Anyway, help Kwarans kick out that bastard Saraki into political exile.

PDP is a curse on earth and in heaven. Even Satan is learning in evil ways where PDP is.

Will PDP hear?. Give them the chance, they will send alert from World bank. The party is such a curse on earth and in heaven.

Impossible BABA

madridguy:
Shehu Sani, hope you're with us genuinely.

A thousand eyes will be on him from henceforth. His breath, poo, pee mouth odour, shall be screened for any trace of PDP tendencies. The pressure will be on him to convince BABA and OSHO that truly his soul and whole being are truly APCEE.

Hmmm.
I was on the verge of bashing him but a closer look at what he said shows he is very correct not minding his antecedent

nwosueugeneken:
you mean greedy

Ị nwere isi ọwụwa?

Okorocha is a great man. He is the future of the Igbo nation. PMB, our best leader ever and the best Nigerians hope will live long to rule till 2023.

Uduaghan is of no value to anybody except his immediate family. He will be a snitch in APC to placate his master, Ibori. In fact Uduaghan is the most despised politician in Delta State. Does APC actually have any option in this case? The constitution is an ass for guaranteeing a freedom of association.

TonyeBarcanista:
I concur

...to what?

Hmmm
PDP behaving so immaturely

They displayed the WAI spirit of yesteryores. Sai BABA!

Esseite:
You people just talk like the constitution was written today and by APC.. as things unfold, we should be grateful for a dogged NASS leadership, to think all of this impunity would have been waved off with reckless abandon to the people.

-Fund a request without due process?
-Dip hands into tax payers money just because he can?

This insult is because we let the helicopter he bought without due process slide.
Nigeria should be weary of these set of rulers winning election, as they would re-write our laws to how it conveniently fits them.

You talk rampantly because you don't read the constitution.

LadyExcellency:
Tribalism ate you up, so stop giving excuses why you can't support the Igbo in politics

Your education couldn't even make a difference.

That there is something fundamentally wrong with the IBO brand of politics is not in doubt. In this present day where alliances are often difficult to form, it is foolhardy to embark on politics of hate and exclusion. When alliances are ready to be formed groups with natural affinity will usually bond together. Simply put your so called 'almajiris' will naturally.fuse with the 'Afonja moslems'. That is natural selection.

An Igbo Presidency in the foreseable future is DOA given the toxic brand of politics the Ibos play. They follow blindly and oppose blindly as well. They are divisive within and without. How can they provide unified leadership. After all, in Igboland, there is no king, everybody is a king..
