Welcome back!

my chief thank you.howdy now back and better.

By Bayo Oluwasanmi
We may disguise poison by mingling it with wholesome food,
but that cannot change its nature. On the contrary, it is
rendered more dangerous.
This is exactly what Doyin Okupe, President Jonathan’s senior
image maker and propagandist attempts to do on the AJ Stream
video interview posted on SaharaReporters May 8.
The Al Jazeera interview featured Omoyele Sowore, publisher
SaharaReporters, Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka in London, and
Doyin Okupe in Abuja.
The interview was conducted by Femi Oke with background
story by Yvonne Ndege, Abuja based Al Jazeera West Africa
correspondent.
The focus of the interview is Boko Haram terrorism:
destruction of lives, disruption of peace, and the distribution of
fear and insecurity in the homeland.
Okupe in a cadenced, monotonous, and repetitive nonsense find
it difficult to articulate Jonathan’s administration response to a
terrorist group that has constituted itself into a government by
fiat.
Okupe painstakingly miserly calculates the human costs of
Jonathan’s inept handling of Boko Haram terrorists. “Trusting a
fool to convey a message,” the Book of Proverbs warns us, “is
like cutting off one’s feet or drinking a poison!”
The segment of the interview that I find amusing as well as
disturbing is the issue of corruption as a factor for the rise of
Boko Haram lunatics.
Oke asked his guests the factors that were responsible for the
mayhem perpetrated and perpetuated by Boko Harams.
Soyinka says mammoth corruption, alienation, mismanagement
and other ideological reasons made the recruitment of ready
and willing foot soldiers for Boko Haram possible and available.
Sowore explains that like other problems that confront Nigeria,
the Jonathan administration had no strategy or solution to halt
the insurgency of Boko Harams.
Gesticulating with his hands as if he was cutting Okupe’s lies
into pieces, Sowore begins his attack:
“Well, it’s a little bit of everything. It’s a cocktail of how
Nigeria has been run in the last 40 years, and the law
enforcement agencies have been involved in corruption over
the years, they have destroyed the agency of security, they
have destroyed the country, they have dehumanized its
people.”
“You have every little problem in Nigeria escalating into a big
thing. When we didn’t have Boko Haram, we had Niger Delta
militants. As a matter of fact, a guy named Dokubo Asari
threatened as we speak that if Jonathan the president does not
become president in 2015, they’ll render Nigeria
ungovernable.”
“Kidnappers in the eastern part of Nigeria have made it
impossible for the people to bury their dead. So, Nigeria is
badly run. Corruption has ruined Nigeria; it has dehumanized
its people. “
“And these leaders are seen as people who don’t love their
people, they don’t love the country and that is why you see Dr.
Okupe when he was speaking he didn’t even know where this is
coming from. He said they’re using force, they’re using
dialogue.”
“But even as we speak today the amnesty they organized has
failed because the army and elements in the military do not
want the amnesty to succeed because this is where they make
their corruption money from.”
“The military and JTF in Niger Delta are involved in some form
of corruption called oil bunkering. They loved it. They love
Nigeria the way it is broken and that’s why citizens should
gather together and face up to our reality. We have a bad
leadership in place that can’t get anything done.”
Okupe who appears in outward splendor but with a stolen
complacency, in reality mocks the longings of his sin-sick soul
– an evidence of inward corruption – shot back:
“… Sometimes one cannot but be ashamed about certain pseudo
elites of Nigeria like Sowore and co castigate their own country
and the leadership of their own country.”
“Being tucked away far away in the United States in the
comfort zone it is a lot easier to just condemn various
governments and various administrations in your own country.”
Truth is always narrow, but error goes off in all directions. In
his comedy of lies, Okupe veers into many directions. Listen to
him:
“Now I remember very well there was a time in Ghana when
everything went down to the most basic thing, poverty became
very difficult to live to the extent that people became displayed
and they were moving away from their homes in Ghana, they
flooded all the West Africa coast especially Nigeria.”
“What I’m trying to say is that in spite of ravaging poverty,
Ghanaians did not take up arms against their country. They
agreed there is a lot of youthful unemployment but that itself
cannot explain the degree of devastation that Nigeria is facing
from Boko Haram.”
“People cannot pretend not to recognize the new phenomenon
that’s going on in the world. It’s a global thing…”
“Well, we have a major problem in Nigeria with this insurgency
but the federal government in Nigeria is doing its utmost best
to sort it out and I believe the Nigerian military security
agencies have the capability to resolve this issue but because
it’s an internal insurgency there is a need to have limited
attack.”
By the way, who needs Okupe’s counseling by comparison? That
Ghanaians didn’t “take up arms against their country in spite of
ravaging poverty,” means Nigerians should follow such example
of docility and imbecility?
Where was Okupe during the Arab Springs?
As if waiting for the big kill, after all we’re talking of a “lion,”
Sowore pounced on his prey:
“I just want to say briefly to Dr. Okupe that I don’t like when
they make comparison between Nigeria and other countries that
are broken. They never made comparisons between Nigeria and
other countries that are working because Ghana did not make $
500 billion from oil by the time it had poverty.
“Ghana didn’t have the kind of land space, the rivers, the seas,
the very, very, very progressive and hardworking people that
Nigeria had when Ghana went through all of that.”
“We’re saying once again that it’s very convenient to accuse
some of us who are trying to make Nigeria work that we’re
tucked away somewhere abroad..”
“Dr. Doyin Okupe forgot that when the military was ravaging
the land we were student leaders who were fighting on ground
when the likes of Dr. Okupe were all running around doing
deals with the military leaders and selling away Nigeria. And
that’s part of the problem.”
“I reported on Dr. Doyin Okupe himself. He has been involved
in corruption and that’s why Nigeria is the way it is today
because he was detained for several months for corruption and
see where he is speaking on behalf of Nigeria.”
“I see you laughing Dr. Okupe, jump in right quickly,” says Oke
the moderator.
“… Because the guy that is talking to you is a huge joke, he’s a
liar, a man without reputation and people who collect money
and say anything to destroy people. You see him talking about
corruption about me. There have never been charges of
corruption against me, in fact this is what they do.”
Sowore goes on the prowl again:
“You were detained for corruption by the EFCC…” As Okupe
tries to free himself from Sowore’s jaws, he angrily emits a
shrill outburst: “Can you please shut up, you just disparate
people and just mess them up. Because you have online media
that does not give you right to destroy people’s rights and
personalities.”
One of Okupe’s devices in defending all that is wrong with the
Jonathan administration is to combine with falsehood just
enough truth to give it plausibility.
Okupe calls Sowore and other critics of the Jonathan
administration “pseudo elites.” It is an irony that Okupe who is
the most qualified Nigerian with pseudo credentials, pseudo
character, and pseudo integrity, and a con artist employed at
the expense of Nigerian tax payers to trick and scam Nigerians.
Who should be ashamed?
Sowore or Okupe? Okupe is one of the vilest corrupt criminals
often the recipient of gifts and attentions as if he had attained
an enviable distinctions.
A man whose character and crimes cry for trial, Okupe is a
shameless propagandist who profits from fabricating and
hawking lies and other unpardonable deceitful wares.
Who is a liar?
Sowore or Okupe? The records show that each time Okupe
opens his mouth, he oozes out a bagful of lies. We don’t need
to go into details. We know the stock in trade of propagandists.
It is only in Nigeria that a person like Okupe with retarded
morals and ethics will call Sowore “a huge joke, a liar, a man
without reputation, who collects money and say anything to
destroy people.”
Okupe knows he can increase his popularity as Jonathan’s
spokesman by being false to his creed, and appealing to hatreds
that have nothing to do with criticisms levied against him by
Sowore.
Okupe’s only ultimate protection against his critics lies in
misguided hatreds and lies which form the nucleus of his
propagandist army. We see Okupe from time to time devoting
our valuable resources to his propagandist army to the
fostering of unreason.
Since he took over as the Attack Lion-in-Chief of Aso Rock
Propagandist Army, he has demonstrated with passion and
unreasoning emotion that planting and fertilizing of lies can
always be better done by charlatans.
Nigeria has become a horde of robbers and assassins. Peace,
rest, and happiness have been banished from the nation. Courts
of justice are corrupt. Rulers are actuated by desire for gain
and love of sensual pleasure.
Intemperance has beclouded the faculties of the people in
power so that Satan has almost complete control of them.
Jurists are perverted, bribed, and deluded. Dishonesty of every
sort is represented among those who administer the laws.
Okupe in his warped wisdom excused Jonathan’s administration
horrible cruelty as a result of the criticisms, scrutiny, and
relentless pounding of the administration for corruption. He
believes the criticisms are based on sentiments.
Dr. Okupe, have you ever at any time in your life been detained
by the toothless and gum less EFCC? Yes or No? If the answer is
yes, then what part of the corruption allegations preferred
against you by Sowore don’t you understand?
Dr. Okupe, what happened to the N886 million road contracts
awarded to you? Where is the money? Where is the proof of
the road constructed by your phony construction company?
What part of your reputation if any, has Sowore damaged or
disfigured?
The moral darkness espoused by you and your likes in the
Jonathan’s administration favor the spread of superstitions,
oppression, and increasing liberality in the revival of tyranny
and corruption.
The infatuation of vice, the wanton taking of life, the terrible
increase of evil and iniquity of every order and degree, should
arouse all who fear God to inquire what can be done to stay the
tide of evil in our dear country.
Needless to remind Dr. Okupe, brilliance of style in propaganda
is not necessarily an index of pure, elevated thought. Through
the mammoth system of deception by Aso Rock under your
direct supervision, you have brought dishonor and
wretchedness to Nigerians.
We cannot keep quiet while we watch the slow motion
catastrophe in our country unfolding before our eyes. We’ll
continue to criticize, scrutinize Jonathan’s administration filthy
ideas and rich load of corruption cases. History is on our side!
*** A wise person will desire no more than he or she may get

quitobyte_tech: Sensation XE

25k.and let deal

tomakint: So much braggados, so much show-offs, so much abuses as usual and at the end of the day Buhari's azzlickers will eventually be disappointed because JONATHAN will still carry the day!

you can tell that to millions of nigerians,that has now realize that the no shoe and new comer tales are all fraud.and that the otueke drunkard is an honourable member of the status quo of the bad leaders Nigerians longs to put an end to.

Sincere 9gerian: You dont have to be president before you help in solving national problems. It was not the "c-in-c" that identified the Boston bombers. It was the people in the community that identified one of the suspects and alerted security agencies.

Buhari and other leaders of the north should deploy their leadership position to assist in curbing Boko Haram. If they continue to be lukewarm, that'll be very unfortunate. But certainly, the leaders of the north cannot ascend to Aso Rock on the back of ongoing blood bath in the north. That is a FACT. If you read Buhari speech today, he conspicuously tried to score cheap political points with the ongoing Boko haram menace. But he'll certainly fail

stop sounding like a broken record.the Nigeria political landscape is a winner takes all scenario.least i forget buhari ain't controlling the defence apparatus with their over bloated budgets.you are definitely faulty the dog and baboon message a has a caveat "IF THE ELECTION ARE RIGGED".Are you and your otueke gods planning to rig 2015 ni.if you guys dare rig the election not only dog and baboons that would be in blood,other dometicated animals too will be in blood.enough said to the empty noise makers.

make una free my guy Oga demdem oo.mr ikenna tender justice with mercy oo.

Sunny_bobo: Tell them to get registered first before making noise. This link might also be of interest to you; https://www.nairaland.com/1286918/tricked-us-into-fighting-igbos

I will definitely wake you up from your deep slumber when election ends.

Sincere 9gerian: What an irony. When it comes to political rallies for selfish political ambitions Buhari and other leaders of the north will pull CROWD. But when it comes to solving national problems, like rein in on Boko Haram insurgents to stop the mayhem, leaders in the north become POWERLESS. Why cant northern leaders organise anti-Boko haram rallies in the north? Why cant APC governors of Borno and Yobe, alongside Buhari (as leader of APC in the north) organise anti-Boko haram rallies in affected states? Is it that they dont consider the Boko haram menace big enough to warrant such intervention? Wont it be to the credit of APC if thru such mobilizations the current mayhem in those states stops?

Rather than participate in finding solutions to the problem, APC and Buhari are trying to ride on the back of the blood shed in those states to Aso Rock.

Anyway, since the political and religuous leaders in the north have decided to be lukewarm on this issue of Boko haram and if eventually the ongoing dialogue efforts fail, the govt will be left with no other option but to continue and INTENSIFY the military campaigns in affected states. One thing is certain, those who hope to climb to Aso Rock through the blood shed in the north will be FATALLY disappointed

the last time I check neither buhari nor apc are the c-in-c.so how are they concerned with solving thr boko crisis.if gej ain't gat solution to the malaise,resigning is like the best option.y'all half brains trying to pin boko with buhari are just couple of dimwits.the last time one of the presidential surrogate made that useless statement and was taken to court to substantial is claims.the fools and their re.tardeen at the top started begging like babies.y'all dimwit should all go get a life.

tomfoolery,hometown is Allen avenue street of ikeja lagos.family house is the red light zone and husslers corner.

Sunny_bobo: He pulled more crowd than this in the run up to the 2011 election and still failed at the polls. This ain't gonna be any different. Until he pulls such crowd in Aba, he's just wasting energy.

GEJ till 2019 or.....,,,

who give a hoot about aba and other happy with suffering and smiling enclaves.now the northern governors that delivered some northern vote to gej now knows he is a betrayer.the south westerns ain't buying the new comer and no shoe crap anymore.sensible igbos and niger-delta has now grown beyond our pikin syndrome and are now craving for real change.Oga wake up and smell the coffee bro.obasanjo is not buying the otueke drunkard bias anymore too.that why simpletons like asari,aniko Briggs and kuku are making empty threats.ask where are all this losers when yorubas were grabbing their brother off turai apron.my guess is that,they were in some kind of trance during that period.

I can imagine the shivers this pictures is sending down the spines,of those drunken shithead tenants in aso rock.my two cent tho,let the slowpokes start packing the bulky part of their belonging away from the Villa little by little.

dayokanu: Who doesnt know Papabrowne is a career liar who lies for a living.

Was it not the same Papabrowne who said there are just 5 teaching Hospitals in the SW?

Oga you bad ooo lmao at. the chronic turncoats lie agent.papabrown,tomfoolery the oppressed,tarhaqa,insecure9ja and other failures.and disgrace to humanity and waste to biosphere.am Yoruba crying baby(tomfoolery).

where are all the asari-gej praise singers.to come here and earn their meal ticket by defending the devil.with the irrational thought of most peeps from the region defending this asari scumbag.I think it is high time we whine down the project Nigeria.I can't imagine sharing a nation with all this goons,android and subhuman lots.

confusion247: kindly give us the link to prove that yorubas criticized Atiku, Lawal Keita, Adamu Ciroma, Buhari after their threats.

buhari never said Nigeria will break up.only dickheads like you are bringing up useless statements.he said if the election are rigged baboons and dogs will soak in blood.loads of yorubas on this forum condemned Lawal keita words.and that was evidenced in our voting pattern in the last presidential election.

chima12: The hypocrisy of yorubas is too extreme.yorubas are so angry that dokubo made these comments and they feel he should be arrested but they all kept quiet when buhari,atiku,chiroma,bakare and other northern politicians made similar and worse statements.

I will be surprise if simpletons like you can understand the sophistication of the yorubas.we say it as it's.we criticize whoever erred irrespective whose ox is gored.we are the biggest critics of obasanjo and other failures.unlike the backward our son apostles.
