Litmus:
Why would bokoharam attack Niger ask yourselves that? Bokoharam is supposedly being fought by Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon. In addition, AU wants to come to Nigeria and UN and France too and yet Bokoharam goes and attacks Niger, inviting more enemies. You think its arrogance, drugs, or like I've alll ways argued Bokoharam wants foreign forces on Nigerian soil.

Why would bokoharam want foreign forces in Nigeria?

My feeling is that the answer depends on the powers backing Bokoharam. If Bokoharam is a genuine wahibist franchise like Alkaida and ISIS funded initially or still so by powers like Saudi Arabia/Quarter then Bokoharam probably are at once seeking to illicit the sympathy of foreign fighters to come join thire Jihad and wanting to spread their Jihad through the West Africa region and in the processes linking up with Alkaida in the Maghreb.

However, if Bokoharam is receiving Western support, then Bokoharam's motive is to legitimate Foreign forces in Nigeria. I know that Nigerians find it difficult to imagine that when those forces do arrive that chiefs behind the scenes could be controlling both the slaughtering of Bokoharam terrorists while at the same time arming and recruiting more terrorists to join Bokoharm so that the fighting never ends in Nigeria. Gradually over time things will deteriorate in Nigeria and perhaps in the sub-region creating lucrative opportunity for all sorts of Nations and interests. Through back-channels, even as Bokoharam is being decimated, Bokoharam will have funds to recruit , terrorist from far-flung places will join them. We would have one vast lucrative war stretching right across West Africa to central Africa. And the potential of Nigeria will die with all this forever or until the Whites come and take control and bring peace, decades down the line. There'd be new lines drawn on the map of West Africa and the people that now make up Nigeria would no longer stand tall but would be like the rest of Africa, wringing our hands and being grateful to the white master and singing his praises and daring to do nothing without his approval. And his approval will never permit space travel because there are hungry mouths to feed first etc, etc

but my mother was looking for a job when Buhari was president.

AjanleKoko:
Hehehe.

Election time, and all the 'projects' appear, as if by magic.

Well . . . I have been on high speed trains in France, Germany, China. Even if PDP promises to bring them all to Naija, they ain't smelling my vote.Not even coming within a whiff of it.

I simply cannot stomach another 4 years of big fat lies, unadulterated BS, gross ineptitude, and pure, unbridled presidential Stoopidity

'stealing is not corruption'
'America will know'
'New year is tomorrow'
'I will use technology to fight corruption'

Ok but I wasn't wandering ooo, I no be Cain now

This is not an endorsement of GEJ, but a rebuke to the silly

I look and laugh

these critics are like the greedy dog thirsting after the bones of the none-existent dog
They might end up in a worse state than they presently have if they take the leap of stupidity

Now, don't get me wrong
I'm not in anyway endorsing Jonathan
what I'm simply saying is that when you are down
and others who had the power to help passed you by without offering any help
at least first thank the man who helped you onto his donkey before raining insults on him for not offering you his horse instead

Why critisize Jonathan's rail networks stupidly?

I have once commented about folks that castigate politicians who complete their predecessors projects
as it not being their projects
i think it is extremely stupid and one of the reasons why we have abandoned projects littering the whole place
after all, why complete that road if the credit is given to the governor who simply graded the red earth and ate the rest money
is given the credit

I have now noticed another dangerous dimension
Folks criticize the good works that a few politicians have mustered the courage to do
so, a governor tars roads that never existed during the regime of previous administrations
and these critics cry out "is that not supposed to be a normal thing?"

a president gets our rail lines kicking to life
from the doldrums were they once existed in
and these critics cry out "Nonsense, why doesn't he provide trams and high speed trains"

in our more private life
someone asks for help in paying school fees, and a good samaritan pays half the fees
these critics bark out "Why take a man close to the stream and then stop him from drinking the water"

How the greedy dog lost its bone

Ever heard the story of the greedy dog and the bone
It goes something like this.

The dog grabbed a bone and was on his jolly way home accross a bridge
he looked at the water below and saw his reflection
thinking it was another dog with a bone, it began to growl hoping that the other dog will let go of its bone
and would have 2 bones
well as it growled, its reflection growled too.
It soon got upset. dropped its bone int the river and dived after its reflection hoping to get the othe bone

I asked because I know you once relocated and wasn't sure where exactly you are right now

I will provide a video which after watching it, I'll like to know what you thought of it

I will also provide a transcript of the video
but to be honest reading the transcript without actually watching the video, wouldn't give the information provided in the video any justice at all, as one can't read from the transcript, as demonstrated in the video, the tones Paul allegedly used when he wrote the letter to the set of "aggrieved" Corinthians

Anyways, watch out for the video & transcript, as I am still on the road, driving. I will post both as soon as I am back indoors

If its bad misrepresentation or the fault of the copyist or interpreter like many of you said, won't all this put the whole Bible in 'skepticism'. I mean why misinterpret one verse when you can misinterpret the whole Bible?.

This has been long,

..but by now, I think you understand the gist.
There are some smart folks in Jonathans team (I believe Akin and FFK are part of the brains behind this)
who understand the way reinforced narratives work.

What they are trying to do is to slow down the viral spread of the sai Buhari crowd by redirecting the issues and narratives.
These prevents those of us that are on the fence to jump in and sheepishly join the ever increasing Buhari crowd
This slow in speed will also calm down the zeal of pro-Buhari electorates in the South who might charged up to vote, defend their vote, and protest if their vote is rigged or perceived rigged

They've got about 3 more weeks to go, and the media, typical dog like they are,
are happy to go chasing after the bones of certificate scandal stories


.......Unhmmmmmm, should I say Sai Buhari or sigh Buhari?

I think I have deviated too much from the thrust of my story.

If you've read stuff about network theory, you'd understand the power of influencers
this is were most media platforms fall under
Folks may describe those of us who disperse info on print and social media as armchair critics
and in fact say that we do not vote........they miss the point.
The idea behind media is that if you generate enough positive buzz,
people start believing and buying into it
That's how mega churches rise
that's how Abiola's Concord supported coups too

So I read alot about the failings of Jonathan, and the beauty of Buhari the mesiah to come
I gradually start liking Buhari and saying he would win
I the non-voter tell my Driver (the voter) that Buhari is great.
His wife hears the same story from her madam.
They tell their neighbours, who have also heard this, and soon a myth becomes a reality

Already firmly rooted in the Southwest, Tinubu's party tried to penetrate into the Midwest and middle belt
He soon scored a big one when he drew Buharis CPC in. With the defection of 5 PDP rebel governors to APC
Tinubu's party became a truely national party for the first time although with a strange religious leaning at that time


Media and IT savvy yoruba youths who were already besothed to their man Tinubu were more than happy to adopt
the man Buhari. I cringe when say that a large chunk of them would probably also have adopted Atiku
if Tinubu and supported him. they would simply have described it as "change"

But here came Buhari, who any one alive in Nigeria would easily describe as squeaky clean
He was thus a perfect choice.
Whereas the nothern urchins have kept their narrative about Buhari as a religion and ethnic protector
Buharis' team for the south have smartly used another strategy.
They have highlighted Buhari as an anti-corruption czar who would jail all the big men who snatch their girlfriends

Goodluck's political machine zoomed in on this glaring religious projection of Buharis constituents
and further helped to accentuate it for him using all available media avenues.
It was thus easy to split Nigerians votes between core north poor muslims for Buhari,
and the rest of Nigeria for Jonathan. Jonathan's team only helped the rest of Nigeria see what
Buharis followers saw in him.

After Jonathan sat on the throne, a large swath of young Nigerians were begining to get frustrated with him
this stage marked the rise of Social media in Nigeria (which Jonathan brought to our country )
The social media space is a hard one to police, especially by an underdeveloped country
Now, you must understand something about media in general.
The only way that they can remain in business is to ensure that controversies and gossips are always available
The traditional print media for the first time in a long time were not being harrased
like a mad dog released from its leach to chase the intruder, which then turns against its owner when it sees no one else to chase
the print and social media which previously lashed out at powerful antiJonathan elements
they were very happy to run amoc with any and all stories about Jonathan (apart from his sex life) that tickled their fancies
You must have noticed that they were not quick to try this with the governors who are way more brutal than Jonathan in wielding their power

Tinubu the man many perceived as being more corrupt than Ibori but more tactical
began to gradually harness this noise. He was hailed as a hero. Wetin im achieve, me I never see yet
He had stood as almost a one man squad against the Obasanjo's PDP previously
and had also been spot-on in the one who he anointed as a governor for Lagos state

Tinubu and his ACN was now being gradually accepted by the vocal and savvy yoruba youths as the new Awolowo
They had not met Awolowo, but had heard about him. Here was their chance to crown a new Awolowo.
Gradually, opposition to PDP in general (whether because one did not get an appointment or for other reasons)
and Jonathan in particular began to coalesce around Tinubu.

Folks might be wondering why PDP is bothering itself with such a small matter
as a secondary school certificate which a number of us who are younger would have misplaced by now.
I'll tell you why, but understanding it might take a long process of story telling

The power of choice is in the availablity of information.
In the world of business management, we refer to this as information asymetry or symetry
In a democratic dispensation, the availability and manipulation of information is paramount

Buhari previously had a cult like following only in the core north.
The information that the street urchins who queued up behind him had
was of a religious ethnic zealot who would defend their faith and tribe.
He was also considered a big man who would stoop low to the level of the commoners.
Buhari, played his part in not defraying this perception. In fact he seems to have encouraged it.
These street urchins were not in anyway bothered with the anti-corruption narative of Buhari
they wouldn't have cared a hoot if he was the most corrupt man in the universe.

The sly pickpocket knows that in order to dis-posses a potential victim
you keep the person distracted on some issues, then you creep in and hit
