J.Martin : "There is no part of this country that's not under attack, if not banditry, it's kidnapping, or boko haram or killing of security officers, this things were never heard off before but now it is our every day living experience."

An honest take On what is happening in Buhari administration by J. Martin . I wished he had told goodluck Jonathan that his administration was corrupt as well, but not as corrupt as Buhari administration. Such assessments would have brought honors to Mr Martin as well.

Goodluck Jonathan lost 2015 election because he forgot where he came from after he became president in 2011. Jonathan presidency was prod

Bola Tinubu: ““Terrible people and strong forces want to break Nigeria’s appointment with its greater destiny. These people have unleashed terror and violent criminality against us.”

Propagandist!
That is who Bola Tinubu is known for. He made living selling false information. Don’t forget, he was the former governor Lagos State [1999-2007] and during those years he created the worst slum area ever inhabited by human beings on earth. However, he does not want to take credit for the slums he created as governor. Instead, he wants to sell false information in the hope he will profit from it. I say never.

And the truth is Bola Tinubu is not going to be President of Nigeria. He is a bigot and failure. Bola Tinubu continuous alignment with President Buhari is going to hurt his candidacy if he runs for 2023 presidential election. President Mohammad Buhari is a tribalist and bigot. His support for DR. Isa Pantami—a Nigerian communication minister and a supporter of terrorists is well documented. In fact, I don’t see how anybody who supports President Buhari can be elected.

Northern Nigeria consists of 19 states. Yes, that what Mr. Tinubu is gunning for. I get that part. But if Mr. Tinubu thinks he will win all the 19 northern states like Buhari did in 2015, he is lying to himself. I think, in 2023, PDP will win 10-15 states in the North—and that mean a defeat for Tinubu.

So, I write to ask Mr. Bola Tinubu to stop cozying up to the Northern Nigerians in the hope he will win all Northern Nigeria states. It is not going to hap

By Nasir Ayitogo : "Over 4,000 Boko Haram fighters have deserted the extremist group, signalling a huge shrink in the rank of the terrorists, a report by the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) has said."

Fake news!
I don't believe this report at all. The reporter, Nasir Ayitogo is a Muslim and works for premium times--a northern Nigeria based news media. This is an effort to boast and to encourage people to believe that president Buhari is winning war on terror..boko Haran supporters will never desert terrorism. It is their life line. Supporters of boko Haran are making money . The northern Nigerians Muslims are making money and profiting from their criminal enterprise. No one is deserting boko Haran

"No fewer than 20 women mostly married were kidnapped by armed bandits while attending a naming ceremony at Gidan Bido village of Dandume Local Government Area of Katsina State on Friday afternoon, Katsina Post learn"


Good news!
Anytime act of terrorism takes place in Katsina state-- the home state of president Buhari, it makes me happy. That is because Buhari support for terrorism is unprecedented in any administration of Nigeria history. He tolerated his own minister of communication support for terrorism. He paid ransom to terror group like boko haran to release kidnapped people from his home state of Katsina. This is unparalleled behavior.

Mohammed Buhari should be impeached!

Kola Ologbondiyan National Publicity Secretary “The PDP holds that Isa Pantami belongs to the deradicalization center and not in any way in the Federal Executive Council where he been alleged of compromising our national security as evinced in his initial denials.”

I agree with Kola Ologbondiyan statement above. Evidence of Public support for terrorism by ISA Pantami, the Nigerian Minister for communication is overwhelming. Both President Buhari and Mr. Isa Pantami acknowledged Pantami supported terrorism 20 years ago. So, for President Buhari to ignore the character and the conduct of Panama, drives home one message: that Buhari is a supporter of terrorism. It is a public record now that Buhari is a terrorist supporter. The British knows this now. The American knows this now. The European countries know it now. And the whole world knows it now.
That is the record Buhari administration will forever be remembered for!

" PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja, also demanded that the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), should immediately sack the minister, given the sensitivity of the issue at stake."

Shocked to hear PDP asked president Buhari to fire minister. Asking president Buhari to fire a known Jihadist is like shooting a bullet into a bandage. The problem here is instead of solving the problem, you make the problem to get worst.

President Buhari is not going to fire ISA because Buhari sees ISA as someone who will prolong unrest in Nigeria------something beneficial to him.

A prolong unrest in Nigeria will certainly keep northern Nigerians in power beyond 2023. Northern Nigerians know it, but the southern Nigerians don't.

Go figure!

"The Katsina State Government have approved the employment of dogs by the security personnel deployed to secure the state’s boarding schools."


Good idea!
But, I think the better idea is to ban boarding schools all together for several reasons. First , boarding school is too controlling on individual freedoms. Second , boarding school exposed students to greater danger like kidnapping of multiple students. Third, boarding school has not proven to make students learn better than those who don't live in boarding school. Fourth and finally boarding school allows bad students to share criminals idea among good students.

Report: In February, the lawmaker accused Uzodinma of unleashing the EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) against him. Okorocha refuted the allegations, saying the state government had not been able to prove corruption allegations against him and his family in court.


Okorocha is wrong to argue that governor Uzodinma did not prove allegations of corruption against him. To the contrary, governor Uzodinma has proven all the corruption allegations against Okorocha. And here is why:
On June 11, 2020 BBC News article title “Rochas Okorocha: Why Efcc freeze N7.9bn from former governor of Imo State” this article documented from Efcc record amount of money Okorocha stole when he was Imo State. The amount includes but not limited to monetary assets worth N297.7 million, $874,983, 390 Pounds, 10,900 Euros, and CFA 500.

It is important to note that Mr. Okorocha did not get this net worth before he became governor of Imo State. He acquired this after he became governor of Imo State.

So, if you are there supporting Mr. Okorocha, you should be asking one question: Did Okorocha acquire this huge amount of assets after he became Imo State governor or not?

I am not from Imo State. I am from Akwa Ibom State. From 2007 to 2015 Mr. Godwin Akpabio did the same thing Okorocha has done in Imo State and got away with it. All because of corrupt organization like Efcc.

I am so disappointed to see Efcc released Mr. Okorocha given the evidence of guilt in possession of Efcc. It just shows Nigerians or the citizens of Imo State are not going to get justice from Efcc.

Will Efcc deliver Justice to Nigerian people by convicting and forfeiting all the wealth Okorocha got when he was Imo State governor?
I am watching!

Pesident Buhari spokesman: "“It is a routine medical check-up; the President has undertaken this with a set of doctors that he has retained over many years,” said Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity."

Pathetic!
So, no doctor in Nigeria can perform routine medical check ups .
It is an abuse of power for president Buhari to miss use money like this.
.
That is why I will continue to call on president Buhari resignation. Buhari is unfit to lead Nigeria.

Nigerian minister for power, Sale Mamman apologizes for power outage----tells you everything that is wrong with president Buhari administration.

They keep awarding contracts to organizations that have no expertise in electricity.

This raises one question: Had these companies
been black owned companies, Nigerian government would have terminated the contracts right away.

Therefore, I want to be a white man so that I
can get contracts from Nigerian government, take contracts money, and not perform the contracts obligations , then get away with it.

And yes, Nigerian government loves anything foreign and hates locals.

Pathetic!

"The FG has disclosed that the Middle-East nation of Qatar is set to invest in the Nigerian economy the sum of $5 billion."

Poor reporting job.
The report failed to disclose what area of investment the government of Qatar intends to put its money in. No disclosure of investment product or property.

This reporter needs to go school to learn how to write a report because this is garbage . A complete waste of time to read it

"How can I tell a friend her body odor is strong?"

Buy apples for your friend and advise her to eat two apples twice a day. If she asks you why she should eat two apples twice a day, tell her this:

You met a woman who has a strong body odor and you don't want your friend to have a similar problem.

If you don't offer this piece of advice to your friend, it means, you are a punk and no good friend.

"The police source said “We resisted them but they overpowered us. They had more sophisticated weapons. They took all the phones they saw, released the suspects when they gained access and vandalised the police building.”


Evidence of poor leadership in imo state. Poor leadership always leads to break down of law and order. I think that is what is happening all over south eastern part of Nigeria and Nigeria as a whole.

How do you resolve this kind of poor leadership?
I think you resolve it by having a leader who has vision for problems solving.

I think you start with ideas of creating jobs, education and jobs training. These people who are breaking the law don't have jobs. The jobless people take their frustration on authority. And the results are violent and menace.

So, I recommend free and fair elections in imo state and all over Nigeria to address leadership issues in Nigeria. Until leadership issues are addressed in Nigeria, what is happening in imo state is going to spread through out Nigeria

Hard to know what ibos want!
Last month when IG Adamu tenure was extended by 3 months, ibos railed against it. Today, Adamu is fired, and all the sudden, Adamu is ibos friend .

When someone visits ibos run states, that person is ibos friend. And when he is not, he is ibos enemy?

Can someone read the mind of ibos for me?

Rotimi Amachi: "I personally travelled to Niger Republic to beg the country to allow the Nigerian government to construct the $1.95bn railway from Kano State into Maradi in Niger Republic."

Amachi is a bigot and a thief. He ence said he supported president Buhari over Goodluck Jonathan because Jonathan is a tribalist.

So, president Buhari is not a tribalist? And Rotimi Amachi is not a tribalist Just laugh!

Now, in every stop, he claims of being married to igbo woman. What is that about? It just speaks to the kind of confusion Rotimi Amachi has brought to his job.

According to bancorporation and reports by Christian Amanpour, while serving as a Rivers state governor, Amachi stole $757 millions. He was forced to return the money after leak information.

That is Amachi we all know!
You can't trust Amachi.

Mallam Gerba : " the president is not sick"

Claim of president Buhari is not by Mallam Gerba--- is a big lie.

Former minister of aviation, Mr. Femi Fan Kayode is someone who has worked and known president Buhari for years.

In recent articles, Kayode gives reasons president must resign now” and published in Daily Trust.

Minister Kadyode offered the following five reasons why he thought President Buhari should resign:

ü  That President Buhari did not inspect guards of honor upon arrival at the airport

ü  That Buhari hands were shaking while reading a speech

ü  That Buhari could not do a live TV broadcast—an indication he was too sick.

ü  That Buhari could not go to office to work and has to work at home because he is too sick

ü  That Buhari could not read a speech without shaking his hands.

 

At the conclusion of this article, Kayode said “How much longer can this Charade last? He must resign now before he relapses”

So, Femi Fan Kayode claim that president Buhari is sick---- is no lie. It is a fact. He must resign

Feminism Adesina: "The question is, when former vice-president Atiku Abubakar was in power with former president Olusegun Obasanjo, where did they take the country to? Where did they leave the country?”



Nonsense questions!
And Mr. Femi, if you want to take that route, I am ready to say the following:

Obj and Atiku Abubakar administration , although deeply corrupt , was far better than the current administration of Buhari and Osinbajo.

Under obj and Atiku, I would go out and not worried about being kidnapped or killed. Today, no one is safe in Nigeria.

Under Buhari and Osinbajo administration. over 100,000 Nigerians have been killed and 10 millions driven out of their homes.

Under obj and Atiku administration, Nigerians who looked for jobs were able to find work within reasonable periods of time . That cannot be said about Buhari and Osinbajo administration.

Under obj and Atiku administration, I was proud to tell people I am a Nigerian . Today, I am afraid to describe myself as a Nigerian.

And in fact, poor leadership provided by Buhari and Osinbajo administration makes obj and Atiku administration to look good and blessing years.

Antoine Zammarieh " announced the signing of an agreement to have an American fast food chain--burger king start business in Nigeria"


good news!
It will create and increase skilled jobs for people-- especially those in high schools. Those skills are transferable .That is the good part.

The bad part is fast food comes with a price. Nigerians of all ages will experience high blood pressure issues because burger is a sugary food. Another problem burger brings is weight increase or obesity

Certainly, hospitalization of young people will rise due to weight issues, high blood pressure and heart disease.

Premiumtimes: "Boko Haram blew up another transmission power"

Good job!
Northern nigeria contributes nothing to Nigerian treasury, yet, consumes 90 % of federal income.

God is punishing president Buhari and his government. The northern Nigerians are not living in peace. Thank God for that. Everyday, northern Nigerians are blowing themselves up.
That should be a welcome news to people in south south zone.

Northern Nigerians will never live in peace until they leave south south resources to states indigenous.

Just love it when they blow up themselves!

"The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Friday, recalled the lives lost to the 30-month civil war in Nigeria and prayed that never again shall the nation witness such."

President Buhari prayed that civil war Never happened again is a false claim because Buhari every day actions in Nigeria will lead Nigeria into another civil war.

Buhari appointment of 13 northern Nigerians Muslims a month ago without Christians threatened civil war.

Buhari imposition of herdsman to every state in Nigeria is likely to start another civil war.

Buhari policies that prevent states that did not vote for him from benefiting from federal projects are likely to lead to civil war.

Buhari policies of appointing only northern Nigerians Muslims to government jobs will lead to another civil war

So, my best advice to Buhari is, if you don't want another civil war, just shut your mouth up. Opening up his mouth is annoying!

President Buhari :lack of employment prospects and opportunities in most rural communities has remained a major contributor to insecurity "

No surprise here!. From 2010 to 2020, president Buhari had denied that Abacha stole money from Nigerian government. He kept denying General Abacha stole Nigerian money even after receiving part of Abacha loots from foreign countries. It was not until a few months ago that president Buhari admitted publicly of Abacha loots.

That is rooted in his Islamic beliefs. Boko Haram denied western education is a good thing. That is president Buhari.

So, I am shocked president Buhari did not blame current insecurity in Nigeria on southern Christians. President Buhari hates Christians. His mistreatment of northern Nigerians Christians in appointments to government jobs speaks for itself.

Nairaland : “inubu was in Katsina on Wednesday where he was received by the state governor, Aminu Masari. The APC stalwart was taken round the razed market by the governor and he pledged to assist the traders with N50m.”

Mr. Bola Tinuba appearance in Katsina to raise money for victims of market fire appeared pollical, according many reports. I hope this is not part of Mr. Tinubu plan to launch 2023 presidential bid. If that is the case, Mr. Tinubu will lose big time.

And here is why:
First, look at that picture below. It is infamous Makolo slum in Lagos State. When you go to Europe and most of the western capitals around the world, and introduce yourself as a Nigerian, the first thing business people bring to your attention is Makolo slum in Lagos. When is it going to be cleaned up, they often asked?
If Bola Tinubu could not clean up Makolo Slum when he was a governor of Lagos State, how can he lead a country—which is 100 million times bigger than Lagos State?
Second, that is not a good credential for next president of Nigeria.
Third, Mr. Tinubu is arguable the most corrupt man in Nigeria. In 2015 Gazette reports said Efcc was investing Bola Tinubu for huge asset acquisition. one investigation and after another of Nigerians seeking higher office is too many.

Finally, we need skilled people to start running Nigeria, instead of criminal. President Buhari poor leadership failure shows Bola Tinubu will be the same. With Bola Tinubu , it is like driving a car into the ditch. Who wants that ?

" Zahra Bayero is currently a bachelor’s student in the United Kingdom, studying architecture."

Why do northern Nigerians invest so much in British education?

According to internal memo I received from Nigerian scholars, almost 8 out 10 northern Nigerians who seek education abroad, go to Britain.

Yet, Nigerians have not seen anything useful from these Nigerians who graduated from British schools.

We [ Nigerians] need to stop doing same thing over and over again, and expecting a different outcome. It is not going to happen.

British education is a great disappointment to entire Africa. In Nigeria, we import everything and export nothing with exception of crude oil

Main Mala Buni: "He stated: “The vision of the party is to provide a wheel that would drive the party to go beyond 6th, 7th and even 8th term of office to effectively implement the party manifesto, improve the lives of Nigerians and, to remain Nigeria’s leading political party.”

I disagree with Chairman Buni claim.
PDP party is a superior party to APC. In 2015 when APc won, it was due to president Buhari tied to northern Nigerian Muslims. Muslim communities who trusted president Buhari in 2015 are no longer supporting APC today. And come 2023, northern Nigerian states will split in favor of PDP because Buhari will not be eligible to run for president.

Besides, in spite of goodluck Jonathan defeat in 2015, PDP winning machine is still intact. From 1999 to 2015, PDP kept control of all the three branches of government. When that experience is applied in 2023, APC party will not be able to overcome it. Mark my word !

So, Chairman Buni either does not know what he is talking about or he is refusing to admit the inevitable. PDP will win in a landslide come 2023.

Has chairman Dangote settled his sexual lawsuit in USA?
Don't bring another dirty laundry to Nigeria!
Just saying!

Bola Tinubu Conference: “The theme for the 2018 edition was: “Investing in People” while that of 2017 was centered on “Make it in Nigeria” which provided an avenue to examine critically how Nigerians can look inwards and use what they produce while also ensuring that they produce what they use.”

This meeting by Bola Tinubu set bad example for the country!
It is not about organizing a conference, it is about what the conference does to people lives.

In 2017 the theme on Tinubu conference was “make it in Nigeria”. And in 2018 was “Make it in Nigeria”.
Can Bola Tinubu tell Nigerians how the above themes of his conference have impacted Nigerian lives today?

John Rennie Short is a public policy professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore county, USA. In his recent article title “What Nigerian Cities can learn from the rest of world”, professor short wrote down what has made Nigeria a failed state by summarizing the following stats:

 In 1950 Urban population in Nigeria was 375,000 spread across 99 cities
 Today, 100 Million Nigerians live in over 780 cities
 In 1950, the population of Lagos State was 300, 000
 Today, Lagos state population is estimated between 11-21 Million people
 The overall impact of rising population is it overwhelmed both private and public sector resources
 Most Nigerians are still living in informal housings.
 Most Nigerians have limited access to good drinking water, sewerage, police security, fire protection, and much more
 Infant mortality rate is at all time high
 Millions of residents’ battle with mental health

These are the kind of issues Nigerian leaders should organize a conference to address. But Mr. Bola Tinubu and his co-thieves are not thinking of any of these issues. Instead, they are holding a conference to talk about who will be president in 2023 to control oil money from South/South crude oil sales.

Shame on the shameless people like Bola Tinubu, Mohammed Buhari and others who will attend this fraudulent conference!

"But Obaseki said, the “Presidency must come back to South-South and you (Orbih) must go round the country to let them know that we can’t be cheated. We expect you to deliver the presidency to the zone.”

I agree with governor Obaseki for many reasons. First, South South provides all the Money that Nigeria is spending today.

Second, citizens of the south South know how to spend money for the benefit of all Nigerians than south east, south west and the the entire northern states of Nigeria .

Third , South South provides more expertise in running a safe country than South east, south west and north

Fourth, citizens of south South are more likely to address problems every day Nigerians face than people of South east, South west and north

Fifth, Nigeria since becoming independence in 1960 has been destroyed by people from South east, South west and north . Citizens of South South will make sure damaged done to Nigeria in the past will never be repeated.

Sixth, every Nigerian will enjoy fairness, equity and justice under South South leadership than under South east, South west and north

Finally, let's make South South presidency reality.

Newstelegraph:."But within the party, many believed that a ‘strong candidate’ like Atiku is needed to wrest power from the APC first before the case of the South East would be considered. It was further learnt that should the Atiku option fail to fly because of age and other factors, the party might settle for a former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, as the second option."

Fake report and it is bias!
The above claim is writer's opinion and not that of PDP. How do I know that?

Anytime South east is included as part of the equation or solution to winning Nigeria presidency in 2023, that opinion comes directly from South east person.

Party primaries produce a party flag bearer. That is what I will recommend to PDP to do.

PDP should organize party primaries to select its presidential candidate. If Atiku or Saraki [God forbid ] wins, it should support the ticket. But for PDP to pick a candidate ahead of party primaries, it will be a disaster. Winning is about getting all involved.

Furthermore, a South east candidate to head PDP or APC will lead to a complete failure. And the reason is southeasterner is arrogant and selfish. They all about themselves and no one else.

PDP Governors' Statement: “Nigeria is still a democracy and a nation of laws and not men."

I strongly disagree with PDP Governors claim as stated above. Nigeria is not a democratic country and a country of law and order. And two points to make here:

First, Elections conducted by INEC are sham. Reports of election materials kept in political party offices are well documented. Votes cast by Nigerians are not counted to determine outcome of elections. Party in power simply determines who gets elected and who doesn't.


And second, Nigeria is not a safe country to live .
Citizens cannot move around without being kidnapped. According to public records, over 50,000 Nigerians have lost their lives and another 5 millions driven out of their homes in the past year alone.

How in the world anyone can look at above data and claim that Nigeria is a democratic state and a country of law.

Despicable statement indeed by PDP Governors!

Kiki Osinbajo took to Instagram to celebrate her 28th birthday is a good thing for young women trying to gain self esteem. I understand that part very well.

But the part I don't understand is some African women wearing wig hair to look like white women. Be what God created you to look like, not what other people want you to look like.

Back in the days when I grew up, all girls and women dressed up in their natural hair . And it was totally fine and sexy. Most of them got married on time and raised beautiful children.

Today, women wear fake hair [wig] and think it is beautiful. I don't think so!

I don't know what other men want in women, but wearing wig to look like white women is not attractive to me.

Furthermore, I observed that black men love light skinned women than dark skinned women.

What is it in skin color that is so attractive?
Inquiry minds want to know!

Habit formed at an early age is difficult to give up.
President Buhari's life exemplified this. His years of relying on government Money to take care of his family is showing off in his wife spending 6 months in Dubai.

Would Aisha Buhari have afforded this life style if her husband was not in government?

The answer is no.
Totally miss used of power by president Buhari!

President Buhari: "He added that the money made from the industry was being used to fund criminal activities to the detriment of the economy of the country and its security."

Not true!
When President Buhari used crude oil revenues to pay boko haran to return kidnapped school children , that to him is proper. But other people engage in mining business to help themselves and their families, according to president Buhari, that is criminal.

Just laugh!

Hypocrites always find reasons to justify their own crimes and blame others when they do the same thing.

I am outraged!
