President Tinubu: Now That You Have Chosen To Eat Up Yourself... Who Do You Blame? IV.

I promised my Readers that I shall not close this series without addressing how NIGERIA HAS BECOME A COMMODITY FOR SALE under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu BAT, his chief accomplice in this larceny is the Senate President Rogue-Citizen Godswill Akpabio, and the Buyers are the President's Friends and Partners The Chagoury's.

BAT and the Chagoury's have been friends and Partners since the Abacha days, don'ts forget that The Chagoury's were Abacha's accomplices in the looting of our collective patrimony. You can make your conjectures about why on earth BAT ran into exile under Abacha, was it a deal that went sour or truly to fight for democracy? With what BAT is doing to democracy, from his conquest and ownership of Lagos since 1999 to his attempt to conquer Nigeria and foist a ONE PARTY State over our polity, BAT is coming full cycle as Abacha's True Friend, a Despot masquerading as a Democrat, and BAT is coming completely bare with convicted felons, international criminals and money launderers like the Chagoury's as his best friends and Partners.

In fact BAT recently disrespected and impugned the Oath of Office he took as President by taking the Second Highest National Honour GCON usually reserved for the Vice President, the Senate President, the CJN et al to France as a birthday present to his friend and business partner Gilbert Chagoury, hasn't greed, primitive accumulation and acquisition of wealth, and the quest for unbridled and unchallenged power left our President seriously challenged, is BAT losing it completely? When will BAT stop eating up himself and by Jove stop endangering our democracy?

To the core, since BAT became President in 2023, Gilbert Chagoury who was convicted in Switzerland for laundering Abacha's loots have been ILLEGALLY awarded contracts in excess of $14 billion USD (that is over 18 Trillion naira) all without open bidding or competitive tender. BAT has approved and is funding the following Rogue Contracts awarded to his Friends and Partners...
1. The Lagos-Calabar Highway.
2. The Tin Can Port Rehabilitation.
3. The Apapa Port Rehabilitation.
4. The Snake Island Port.
5. The Sokoto/Badagry Highway etc
All awarded without open tender or competitive bidding to his friends and Partners, and to Companies where he has manifest business relationship, don't forget that the President's son Seyi Tinubu sits on the Board of a Chagoury Group Subsidiary... Folks, from the opaqueness of the award of the biggest contracts in our history to his Partners, to the humongous foreign loans that Akpabio and the Rogue Senate approves with alacrity to fund the Rogue contracts, to the criminal silence of the legislature, Nigeria is indeed up FOR SALE TO BAT AND HIS FRIENDS... Greed and unbridled roguery will do you great harm BAT, Nigeria is far more complex than Lagos... And I pray you put a quick halt to the tragic missteps that underscore your Presidency.

On INEC, your insistence on Prof Joash Amupitan remaining as INEC Chairman, and superintending over the forthcoming 2027 General Elections will do you no good, already the credibility of the body and the integrity of INEC is in tatters. INEC is gaining questionable notoriety under your watch. Nobody except those standing on your blood soiled, blood soaked, blood stained, failure ridden, and pain riddled mandate think otherwise. They will not mind if you RIG yourself back to power through Amupitan like Mahmud Yakubu RIGGED you into power in 2023 and got rewarded with Ambassadorial posting... BUT be sure BAT that Nigerians emboldened by the painful failure of your watch shall matchlessly resist your shenanigans and Vote you out in 2027.

On the lies, debauchery and false propaganda that your Team told about the economy rebounding, haba!!! Mr. President who sacks a Performing Minister? If the former Minister of Finance and Coordinating Officer of the Economy was doing or had done a good job, why did you sack him? Assuming but not conceding to his having done well, did you sack him because he could not lie about the missing 34.44 Trillion naira under your government? BAT under your watch Nigeria has become a huge crime scene, a rogue enterprise, and a criminal turf headed by the most heartless and soulless gang of political operators ever to have come out of Nigeria. Your watch is a colossal shame, Sir.

On the CONTINOUS GIBBERISH THAT THE APC HAS NO HAND IN THE ORDEAL OF THE OPPOSITION PARTIES, please folks, forgive me for making this series longer than the first three, I cannot close this without asking citizen Felix Morka to STOP being delusional, no one prides in falsehood like he does, and it is ignoble to continue to do so. If Felix Morka has nothing logical to say, he should please shut up, Nigerians are no fools. From the troubles with Labour Party, to the problems with the PDP, and now the ADC, the APC, BAT, AKPABIO, WIKE and GBAJABIAMILA have not hidden the culpability of the APC, WIKE and the Judiciary in the many troubles of the opposition. The recent effort of the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to frustrate the ADC National Convention is common knowledge, the procurement of Nafiu Bala Gombe to unsettle the ADC weeks after he willingly resigned his position is common knowledge, the decision of the Rogue INEC Chairman Amupitan to murder the judicial meaning of Status Quo Ante-bellum by removing the David Mark led ADC from the INEC Portal is a clear case of 'he who pays the piper calls the tune', and what about the fact that the Labour Party has seen relative peace since Peter Obi left the Party, does it not spell the aphorism 'the witch cried last night and the child dies this morning'? Felix Morka, our conjectures are rock solid and rooted in the visible shenanigans of your Party... If you can, please tell BAT and the leaders of your Party that Nigeria is not Mobutu's Zaire or Eyadema's Togo, tell them that Nigeria and Nigerians shall resist every effort to foist a ONE PARTY State over us. It won't work.

On Power. The Band A Roguery and the Perfidy of a Rogue Power Ministry and Power Companies Continues Under Your Watch BAT... I'm deliberately pungent in my choice of words because now is the time to frontally confront the madness that Nigeria has increasingly become.

All they told us about the number of hours of light that qualifies one as a Band A consumer and what actually obtains IS NOT ONLY CRIMINALLY FALSE but DEMONICALLY EXPLOITATIVE. Our Metres have been adjusted to run at Band A Billing and it doesn't matter to them whether you have light 2 or 3 hours a day. Even more demonic and wicked is the fact that the Providers are manifestly in cahoots with the Power Ministry to exploit consumers, under the present watch everything, so very sad, everything is apparently Rogue... No one in this APC government cares about the people, and what bothers me sick is that for a mess of porridge some hapless victims of a grossly soulless administration think that this madness will continue unchecked BUT nothing can be further from the truth. Something will give, very surely, very truly and very certainly.

My next series shall be a kind appeal to the Waziri Adamawa, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku to PUT Countryfirst as we approach the Party Primaries in the march to producing the most credible alternative to the underwhelming and underperforming government of BAT. I'm a Believer in the Nigerian Project, and my commitment to a Nigeria that works for all is unalterable, it is that commitment that propels my writings, no matter how pungent they may sound, it is my love and passion for nation laid bare, I hate no one and I despise no one. It is COUNTRYFIRST, Folks.

To BAT, I pray earnestly that you stop eating up yourself, there is yet an opportunity to leave a legacy, concentrate on making the next one year one of service to nation, and take the Mandela option, there is clearly no need to stretch yourself and your luck any further, may God give you good friends who can tell you the whole TRUTH, Nigeria is greater than any gang and Nigeria shall outlive the present anomie. May God Bless Nigeria.

CONCLUDED.

I Threatened My Staff To Stop Going to Church or Else I Will Sack Him, But He Quit Instead - Folarin

Veteran Yoruba Nollywood actor Ladi Folarin has opened up about a past decision he now deeply regrets, revealing how it affected both his business and personal reflection on faith. In an interview with FeelRightNews TV, the actor recounted an experience from the time he managed a tea company, where a conflict arose between workplace expectations and an employee’s religious commitment.

According to Folarin, he had employed a staff member who was a devoted member of Deeper Life Church. The employee maintained a consistent routine of leaving work every day at 6 p.m. to attend church services. While this practice was important to the worker, it frequently clashed with the demands of the business, especially during periods when supplies needed urgent attention.

Folarin admitted that the situation became increasingly frustrating for him. Eventually, his dissatisfaction reached a breaking point, prompting him to confront the employee with a strict ultimatum. He demanded that the worker either stop attending church services during work hours or face termination. Rather than compromise his religious beliefs, the employee chose to resign. Folarin then proceeded to dismiss him.

Not long after this incident, Folarin’s tea business began to decline and ultimately collapsed. Reflecting on the sequence of events, the actor expressed a sense of remorse, stating that he now believes his actions contributed to the downfall of the company. He explained that, in hindsight, he viewed his ultimatum as a challenge to the employee’s faith and, by extension, a challenge to God.

His words; "When I was running my tea company, I employed a staff member who was a member of Deeper Life Church. Every day by 6 pm, he would leave the work we were doing and tell me that he wanted to go to church. Most of the time, we usually had supplies to handle, so I got angry one day and told him that he either stopped going to that church or I would sack him. He then accepted to quit the job, so I fired him. Shortly after that, my business crumbled. Later, I realized that I had challenged God by telling the guy to choose between my work and God."

TINUBU OFFENDED US’: ADC VANGUARD KICKS OVER DECENTRALIZATION OF FEDERAL INSTITUTIONS
• Group fumes as Aviation College, Police Academy, Army Depots spread South; warns NDA may be established in the South

The ADC Vanguard has accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of “offending the North” by decentralizing strategic federal institutions that were historically concentrated in Northern Nigeria.

In a statement at the weekend, the group listed three examples:

1. Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, Zaria – For 60 years the only federal aviation school, NCAT now has approved campuses in Lagos and Akwa Ibom to train pilots and engineers closer to Southern aviation hubs.
2. Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil, Kano – Established in 1988 as the sole degree-awarding police university, the Academy now has a second campus in Ogun State to ease admission pressure and reflect federal character.
3. Nigerian Army Depots, Zaria – The century-old depot in Kaduna was the Army’s only basic training ground until 2024, when President Tinubu approved new depots in Osun and Ebonyi States to expand recruitment capacity and spread economic benefits.

The ADC Vanguard’s grievance: “These institutions were our comparative advantage. Now Tinubu is taking them South. If he is reelected, he may establish a campus of the Nigerian Defence Academy in the South as well.”

The missing context:
1. Federal Character, Not Northern Character:* Section 14(3) of the 1999 Constitution mandates equitable distribution of federal institutions. For decades, “unity schools,” military formations, and colleges were skewed North. Decentralization corrects that imbalance without shutting Northern campuses.

2. Capacity vs Sentiment: NCAT Zaria produces ∼120 pilots yearly. Nigeria needs 500+. Lagos and Uyo campuses double output and cut travel costs for Southern cadets. Wudil admits 1,000 cadets yearly for 200,000 applicants. Ogun campus adds 1,000 slots. No Northerner loses admission; more Nigerians gain.

3. Security logic: Spreading Army depots to Osun and Ebonyi reduces strain on Zaria, creates multiple mobilization points, and denies enemies a single target. The US has West Point, Annapolis, and Air Force Academy in different regions. No one calls it “offensive.”

4. Economics: Every federal institution = hostels, staff quarters, contracts, IGR. Decentralization means Kano still has Wudil, Zaria still has Depot and NCAT, but Ilaro and Afikpo also get development. This is shared prosperity, not theft.

Bottom line: Calling equity an “offence” exposes an entitlement mindset. Nigeria is a federation. Institutions belong to all 36 states. Tinubu didn’t move Zaria to Osun. He replicated capacity.

NDA South? If it happens, it will be because Nigeria needs more officers, not because Zaria offended anyone.

If Tinubu can do more of this, he is surely going to hen people's votes in 2027. At list he is going to hen my vote.

🚨 Rev. Dr. Osueke Passes Away in Prayer — Die&s on His Knees Worshipping God

A solemn yet powerful image of faith has emerged following the passing of Rev. Dr. Osueke, a revered cleric of the Assemblies of God.

According to family accounts, the man of God reportedly spent his final moments in deep worship — kneeling in prayer, hands clasped, and heart lifted in thanksgiving — before peacefully passing on.

Earlier that day, he had led family devotion, shared joyful moments with loved ones, and remained active and cheerful. Nothing suggested that it would be his final day on earth.

But in the quiet hours of the night, while others slept, he returned to what defined his life — communion with God.

At about 2:30 a.m., his wife and daughter found him still on his knees… but no longer responsive.

A life of devotion ended in the very act he was known for.

Many within the Christian community have described his passing as “a glorious exit” — a reflection of unwavering faith, discipline, and total surrender to God.

🕊️ He lived in worship… and left in worship.

Adieu, Rev. Dr. Osueke.

TURKISH MILITARY BASE IN NIGERIA: THE INCOMING GENOCIDE AGAINST NON MUSLIMS?

Nigeria and Turkey have officially signed a defense cooperation agreement to establish a major military training facility on Nigerian soil.
On the surface, it sounds strategic: counterterrorism training, drone technology, intelligence sharing.
But let's ask the questions no one in Aso Rock wants answered.

🤔 WHY TURKEY? WHY NOW?
Just months ago, muslim groups in Northern Nigeria vehemently rejected a proposed U.S. military base, citing concerns over foreign interference and alleged CIA links to extremist actors.
Yet suddenly, a Turkish military presence is being welcomed with open arms.
Coincidence? Or calculation?

LET'S BEAM THE LIGHT ON TURKEY'S RECORD

History doesn't forget.

During the height of ISIS under al-Baghdadi, multiple investigative reports and leaked footage raised serious questions about Turkish territory being used as a transit route for oil tankers moving from ISIS-held areas in Syria.
Former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad publicly accused Turkey of supporting terrorist factions operating in Syria—a tension that defined Ankara-Damascus relations for years, until Assad was removed by a Turkish sponsored terrorist groups.
Whether you view these as proven facts or contested allegations, one thing is clear: Turkey's regional so called security is to further an Islamic agenda with no clear pattern.

THE 2027 ELECTORAL CALCULUS

Let's be honest about Nigerian politics.

The timing of this agreement—announced during President Tinubu's state visit to Ankara raises eyebrows. With elections on the horizon, this defense deal is not about national security? it is a strategic way of appealing to the Muslims north for vote, GUMI repeatedly told the federal govt to bring in Turkish troops instead of America, unfortunately, the president now take directives from GUMI, all in the name of winning the Muslim votes.

THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE TURKISH BASE ON CHRISTIANS IN THE NORTH AND MIDDLE BELT?

This is where silence becomes complicity.

For years, Christian communities in Northern Nigeria and the Middle Belt have faced targeted violence—farmers displaced, churches burned, families living in fear.

If the Turkish military base is introduced without clear, enforceable safeguards for all Nigerians—regardless of faith—it risks deepening existing tensions rather than resolving them.

Turkey often align with it Muslims brothers, we've seen it through their rhetorics and other campaigns, this could be a clear attempt to wipe out non Muslims from the middle belt.

TINUBU IS PLAYING WITH FIRE

I'll say it plainly: Desperation for the northern Muslim votes is driving the president out of control and has cloud his ability to reason.
Placating people religious extremes is Tantamount to putting your hands in a fire.

FINAL THOUGHT
Nigeria doesn't need foreign bases. We need homegrown security solutions to tackle our terrorism. If turkey wants to help, it should be limited to surveillance and drone training, NOT TO BUILD A BASE.
