 Politics / Re: Islamisation, Muslim-Muslim Ticket: Ganduje Replies Babachir Lawal by GNBohr: 10:40am On Jul 14, 2022 |
BigVawulence: Muslim-Muslim Ticket: The Consequence of Northern Christian Political Docility The Tinubu-Shettima joint ticket, for me is not a mistake but a deliberate and calculated assault by Northern Muslims on their Christian folks. This may be a divine intervention to restructure Nigeria. The Northern Christians who have been buried politically on the pretext of promoting one North mantra needs to prove to the whole world that they as politically active, independent and strong if not stronger. Since Independence the Northern Christians have allowed their Muslim folks to ride rough shod over them giving them crumbs from the Nigerian socioeconomic and political table. Their docility and slavish mentality have given the impression that the entire North geographical space is Islam controlled and Muslim dominated to the extent that the Southerners see every Northerners as Muslim or Hausa-Fulani. Their inaction has rubbed off negatively on Southern Muslims as we have seen in the present Tinubu-Shettima imbroglio. The North ascribed all top positions to the Muslim thereby compelling the Southerners to apportion top positions to Christians in order to maintain cultural, religion and ethnic balance. All presidents from the North including military Heads of State are Muslims and reverse for all from the South. So for any Southern Muslim to emerge as the number one in this country his vice must be a Northern Christian. But the Northern Christian will just support their Muslim brothers at their own expense thinking as long as North have it, all is well. When Abiola did it, they didn't fight it and voted Abiola to victory. They ought to have resisted it. Now Tinubu is attempting to do same and they are crying wolf. Are they saying since they have sold their political rights to their Muslim folks, the Southern Muslims should do same and hand over their political rights to their Christian folks. We are not that dunce in the South, particularly South West. Tinubu-Shettima is irrevocable, the Northern Christian should vote enmass against it and make APC lose the election so that in the future these Northern entities who are politically self entitled should realise that their Christian folks matter significantly. But I will serve a note of warning here, if Tinubu-Shettima ticket should win the election the Northern Christian should kiss political relevance good by because we Southern Muslim, sic South West Muslim, will not lose slip over some people who accept to be dominated and enlaved in their land. We are also entitled to be president if they feel they are not entitled. In the South West, Muslims and Christians play politics on equal pedestal. It's in the North, South East and South -South that one religion dominate the other politically. Tinubu would not have coalesced to this joint ticket if the Northern Christian have carved a strong political presence. How can you expect a Tinubu who wants to win not to align with the political section that is sure to earn him victory. He knows no Northern Christian is politically stronger than any Northern Muslim. It's now that the Northern Christian must prove him wrong. I wish they do. Tinubu is my candidate, but to break the hegemony of the Northern Muslim political cabals, who see themselves as born to rule, I hope the Northern Christian engage in total and absolute protest vote. We did it in Lagos against SDP, that was how Otedola of NRC won. This is not about complaining and blowing hot, the Northern Muslim should make their vote counts because they are the ones that led us to this situation. They are so docile to the extent that the Southern Christians make them irrelevant even in CAN where they can't even become the President. |
| Politics / Re: Alleged Organ Trafficking: Ekweremadu, Wife Risk Long Jail Term If Convicted by GNBohr: 1:55pm On Jun 24, 2022 |
A lesson to learn from Ike Ekweremadu issue.... Nick Agule from UK wrote.... Ike Ekweremadu is obviously a powerful man. Spending his 20th year in the Senate of which 12 were as Deputy Senate President. He could have used the time to get Nigeria a world-class kidney hospital but no! He didn't need kidney treatment so it was his least bother. Things happen and his own child needed kidney treatment. As it is with President Buhari and everyone who has held office in Nigeria, Ekweremadu shamelessly took his daughter to the UK for treatment where he was going to be attended to by Nigerian nurses and doctors whom Ekweremadu and gang chased away with total neglect of the health sector. But Ekweremadu did not go with his child alone, he took along a boy who was suffering hardship and pains from a Nigeria Ekweremadu helped to damage. Ekweremadu wanted to harvest this boy's kidney to save his own child. As fate will have it, tests performed on the boy showed his kidney was not a match for Ekweremadu's daughter. Ekweremadu began to make arrangements to return the boy to Nigeria and obviously take another one to the UK. But the boy tasted and enjoyed the good life in the UK something Ekweremadu and his band of bad and failed leaders deprived him of in Nigeria. The boy saw electricity 24/7 (powered by gas from Nigeria), he did not need to start 'I better pass you generator' or he sleeps in darkness to the joy of mosquitoes. He saw how clean and beautiful the hospitals were different from the mortuaries will call hospitals in Nigeria and absolutely for free. He saw how efficient the metropolitan police were securing the neighbourhood and not the Nigerian police starved of funds by Ekweremadu and gang! The boy enjoyed rides on clean and efficient public transportation (buses, trams, light rail, underground tube, trains, boats etc) and not the okada, Keke and endless trekking in Nigeria. The boy was awed by the beautiful landscaped, trash free and green environment and not the filth he is used to in Nigeria. The boy saw food everywhere. He saw beautiful schools from nursery to reception to primary to secondary all the way to high school absolutely free. He saw that his dream of university education will be realised even if he has no money for fees and ASUU will not truncate his dream in the UK. The boy saw unemployed people paid benefits by Govt. The boy saw, enjoyed and liked the UK better than Ekweremadu's Nigeria! The boy decided he was not going back to Nigeria damaged by Ekweremadu and gang! The boy ran to seek refuge from the metropolitan police. In Ekweremadu's Nigeria the police would have arrested the boy and dropped him in Kuje prison where for the next 10yrs he will still be on 'awaiting trial' roll. If the boy tried to talk he will be summarily executed and his body paraded as an armed robber gunned down by the 'gallant' police. Ekweremadu and his gang are above the law in a lawless Nigeria they have created. Unfortunately for Ekweremadu, the UK is not Nigeria. He has exchanged his posh mansion in a highbrow neighbourhood in London for a police cell where he is being schooled in the act of rule of law something he is obviously lacking in his nearly 20yrs as a law maker. Ekweremadu will have his day in court. His victim will now enjoy life in the UK because it's easy to prove that if he returns to Nigeria Ekweremadu and his goons will go after him! If Ekweremadu had done his bit to fix Nigeria, all this drama will not happen! Ekweremadu and those like him who think they can do well when Nigeria is sick have just found out the bitter truth - no one will prosper better than Nigeria. If Nigeria fails, we fail with it! In 2023 we have a unique opportunity to elect leaders who understand that our fate is tied to Nigeria's fate. We rise or fall together! Go get your PVC today! We wish Ekweremadu's child quick recovery hoping that now her case is public a donor will soon be found for her. What goes around comes around. 2 Likes |

| Politics / Re: RCCG’s Dangerous Foray Into Politics For Osinbajo By Farooq Kperogi by GNBohr: 1:45pm On Mar 11, 2022 |
Kperogi to me has always been a rabble rouser. He has a way of exploding issues rather than extenuate them. There's nothing really wrong in a body, be it religious, cultural, professional, regional, tribal or social to seek to create a framework to support or canvass for one of their own. The critical issue is the agenda and scope. He mentioned the Salafists in the system as propagated by the Gumis but he failed to mention how that impacted negatively on Nigeria polity. Every group of people in modern society seeks to protect their interest and the way and manner that happens is subject to critical debate. However the right of RCCG or CAN or AHMADIYA or Council of Islamic Affairs to project themselves politically is undeniable and have been the practice as far as global politics is concerned. What will be issue for me is for any of them to adopt a particular candidate as their consensus or choice in an election. These groups role ought to be purely advocacy for rights to vote and be voted for as well as free and fair elections. Anything outside that only cause catastrophe. I don't see how Salafists and RCCG will impose their choices on the electorate, in fact that singular act will not be in the best interest of the candidates so identified. In both Islam and Christianity, there's friction and compelling motion to superior religious practice and faith. The reason they try to compete, particularly amongst the Christian folks. In a religious sensitive country like ours, any candidate that push his religion as a front in his political strategy is only courting failure. As regards Osinbajo, until he declare his interest I see him as one who is not convinced of his political pedigree and chances. He may end up declaring, may be after the APC convention. How RCCG, if Osinbajo eventually declare, will help him secure APC tickets elude me. One thing that can surely work for him is being a southern Christian and the North being majorly Muslim might want a Southern Christian and Northern Muslim ticket. But that's is not even a guarantee because there are plenty more politically grounded southern Christian in APC. Also, his political structure to win a Nigerian Presidential election is way beyond what RCCG can give him. He must project an image of a detribalised and non religious fundamentalist to break through political barriers. Time will tell. |

| Culture / Re: Ladoja Finally Affirms Lekan Balogun As Next Olubadan by GNBohr: 7:28am On Jan 16, 2022 |
MrImole: THE MAKING OF AN OLUBADAN. Every family and clan in Ibadanland has a Mogaji. Mogajis are family heads. They control the affairs of their family and ensure law and order. They are made Mogajis by the Olubadan after they have been so appointed and the family written to formally inform the Olubadan and the Council. In Ibadan, there are over 2,500 Mogajis or family heads at present. The installation ceremony of Mogajis is often performed at the palace of the Olubadan with pomp and fanfare. A Mogaji is a potential Olubadan in waiting if he eventually succeeds to join the ladder. It takes a whole lot for a Mogaji to become Jagun, the lowest rung of the Olubadan ladder, as there are competitions from other Mogajis. To become Jagun, however, Baale Ayorinde said there are three things to consider. A prospective candidate could be from an historical Ibadan warrior family or having done valiantly to save the land in one form or another. The candidate might also have done something worthwhile for his community or Ibadanland as a whole, while his wealth, which he had used for the uplift of the downtrodden, could be another consideration. When there is vacancy for the Jagun position, the Olubadan-in-council would consider the prospective candidates and hereby appoint one to the Olubadan line or another to the Balogun line, depending on where there is vacancy. The appointees would now become Jagun on either and or both lines. The promotions of such Jaguns are not, however, random, as they are promoted in a sequential and orderly procedure. Upon vacancy in any of the lines, the title holder of a lower rung is promoted to the next rung of the ladder. The Balogun line has 23 rungs while the Olubadan line has 22 rungs. The next Olubadan alternates between the Balogun and the Otun Olubadan. The promotion in the line of Balogun follows this pattern: From Jagun – Ajia – Bada – Are-Onibon – Gbonnka – Aare Egbe Omo – Oota – Lagunna – Are-Ago – Ayingun – Asaju – Ikolaba – Aare-Alasa – Agba-Akin – Ekefa – Maye –Abese – Ekarun Balogun – Ekerin Balogun – Ashipa Balogun – Osi Balogun – Otun Balogun and eventually to Balogun. The journey from Jagun to Balogun will take a prospective candidate through a 23-rung ladder, and, having reached the top of the ladder, he becomes Balogun and would, therefore, wait for his turn to emerge the Olubadan of Ibadanland. The promotion in the line of Olubadan follows the same pattern, but is 22 rungs : From Jagun – Ajia – Bada – Aare Onibon – Gbonnka – Aare-Egbe Omo – Oota – Lagunna – Are-Ago – Ayingun – Asaju – Ikolaba – Aare-Alasa – Agba-Akin – Ekefa – Maye – Abese – Ekarun Olubadan – Ekerin Olubadan – Ashipa Olubadan – Osi Olubadan and finally to Otun Olubadan. The nomenclature looks the same with that of Balogun, until when the prospective candidate finally gets to the Ekarun Olubadan. Upon emergence as the Otun Olubadan, the candidate is set to emerge the next Olubadan of Ibadan land on his turn. Baale Ayorinde gave English meanings of some of the titles thus: Otun – second in command/Commander of the right wing; Osi – third in command/Commander of the left wing; Asipa – Leader of the Vanguard; Ekerin – Fourth in Command; Ekarun – Fifth in Command; Abese – Superintendent of foot soldiers; Maye – Stationary Veteran Soldiers; Ekefa – Sixth in command; Agba-Akin – Chief of the Brave; Aare-Alasa – Chief of the Squire; Ikolaba – Sango’s apron man; Asaaju – Front ranker (front liner); Ayingun – Official war wager; Aare-Ago – Overseer of Blood Relations; Laguna – Swivel Lance Comptroller General; Oota – Sharp Shooter; Aare-Egbe-Omo – General of the Youth Wing; Gbonka – Dignified war wager; Aare-Onibon – Brigadier-General of Gun Combatant Shooter; Bada – Chief Spy; Ajia – Commissioner; Jagun – Warrior/Defender of the ruler. When death occurs of any member on the ladder, there has to be installation ceremony to the next rank for affected candidates not less than 21 days after the burial of the last occupant. The Olubadan. The Olubadan, upon notification of such death, will approve the promotion of others and perform installation ceremony for them at the palace. This is one of the reasons Ibadan chiefs are called "Agbotikuyo" (someone who rejoices at the death of another candidate). 2 Likes |
| Health / Re: WHO Warns Over 'Severe' Omicron Variant - 'Vaccine Rollout Must Be Accelerated' by GNBohr: 5:21pm On Nov 29, 2021 |
Covid 19 global conspiracy, politics and economics is what you see just at play. For about two years the hawks have been circling wondering, searching, querying and determinedly intent on why Africa seem impreginable to their pandemic. Yes, their pandemic, just like they called their wars, "World Wars". Africa has its pandemic, infections and sociopolitical and economy. We are poor, we are backward, we are corrupt, we are self centered, we are undemocratic and we are unpatriotic. These are our pandemic. We practically live with viruses and we have loads that kill us regularly, the most virulent being Lassa and Ebola. They were never declared pandemic. The hawks got reckless and let loose their locked up creation. It ravaged them almost into extinction, and still ravaging them. Pronto it has become pandemic. I agree it is a pandemic. The hawks control the resources and possess authority and imposed the measures believing this poor, stagnant and dirty continent will be devastated by it. They predicted doom and expected amaggedon. They waited, months rolled by, and year grew into another, no doom rather the supposedly"condemned" people with no health care, no medical research and no vaccine production capability, just wouldn't succumb. They scratched their heads, "what could be going on in that dark continent", "what's the secret of their immunity", what's it they have that we lack"? Questions unanswered piled upon one another. Like hawks they are feeding on hapless chickens unprotected by their irresponsible parents, dove down to assault innocent efforts at riding them of their disease. South Africa thought they were doing the right thing, the only country in Africa with the medical capability that equal theirs, announced their laboratory feats and the sound of the drum changed. A new variant native to Africa that will finally consume the continent is here. The drum sounded across acolytes and the hawks can now finally dance. Well they can continue to dance to the macabre they created. Pronto they gave it name and decided to use the almighty "Omni" word. The hawks have finally landed. If the "omni" is native of Africa, why is it infecting and affecting them more than Africans who are dirty, poor with no medical attention. I know that question will hang in the wind. They have done what all along they have been waiting for, ostracize Africa and quarantine the entire continent. If you believe otherwise then you haven't followed the Covid 19 agenda. I am not covidiot and neither am I a conspiratorial writer. The hawks will use this variant to blacklist Africa and unfortunately because of irresponsible parents we will have no choice but to follow the measures that they will lay down for us. Our lives are about to be changed. 2 Likes 1 Share |

You are likely going on in a new relationship and ladies don't like taking care of another's children and might cause conflict with her if you take your child to leave with you. There are a lot of processes involved in getting the custody because the family will not give up the custody just like that. For the ex, it's in the nature of women to ask, more so when you once loved each other and have a child together. Please don't do what will inconvenience you. If you have to give, give her and if you don't tell her. You can always refuse. She's not your responsibility but you can help her. The past is gone and you have been blessed. Don't get stucked in the past by using what she did to you against her. Majority of women will insult men who is broke. That's women for you.

More importantly she has a daughter for you and coming to you for help is a sign of submitting to you and realising her folly. What I will not want you to do is taking her back or having amorous or sexual relationship with her. If you realise that the help you are rendering could lead to temptation or affect your relationship with your new woman, then you can cut her off by strictly transferring money to her without interfacing with her for the sake of your daughter.

Pictures of the birthday celebration were posted online. However, their teacher saw the post and thought they drank alcohol, but they only had yoghurt. No investigation to find out the truth. What a religious leader. It's such a sad thing seeing such brutality in the name of religion and correcting bad behavior. This type of acts make people to deride Islam as not a religion of peace but of terrorism and barbarism. I am yet to find in the Quran or Hadiths that says multiple people should flog a younger girl irrespective of the sin or crime committed. The gusto with which the boys are beating the girl was a display of male chauvinism and tendency to become women beater. When society encourage acts like this under any guise and later complain of domestic violence, we forget that we incubate and inculcate the behavior since childhood. I read in the report that the parents consented to the physical abuse of their daughter. These are the kind of parents that will compel their daughters to accept and remain in abusive marriage. The way we take Islam in Nigeria is bordering on ridiculous and hypocrisy. Homes are breaking up, society is becoming decadent, people are getting frustrated and government is getting more corrupt. We couldn't use religion to correct all these maladies but use it to abuse people, kill, destroy and cause enmity. That's not religion and that definitely is not Islam. The earlier we Muslim in this country practice Islam and not dogmatic principle of Islamic scholars the better for all of us Muslims. |

Oh, they forget that who pays the piper dictate the tune. We allowed them to dictate the tunes for too long. We told them the country will not grow without freedom to freely compete, to freely articulate and manage resources of each region and states. They lazy about collecting tithes in the name of allocation, fail to harness the abundant human and material resources of their region. Free money from Abuja all the time. Governors will even comfortably move to Abuja and rule their states from afar. They don't bother to roll up their sleeves and dig trenches. They are always excusing their incompetence and failures. Now the chicken is coming home to roost, let's see them continue vacationing while still holding power. Power is a responsibility to uplift the people and the society not to arrogate self importance. Power of course is transient. They will learn the truth the hard way. Economy is the power wielder not political attainment. If your power can not drive investment and development to your state then you have no reason to remain in power.

I have never suppor bted any separatist or secessionist agenda. However, I have supported and defended the right of any Nigerian to express himself and associate freely. It does not matter to me where such a person comes from. When the Buhari administration moved against Ibrahim Zakzaky and the Shiites, I was the first person (not one of the first) to defend them. After defending them publicly myself, I called the then President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, and begged him to issue a statement calling for an end to the killings of Shiites. He told me that though it was an Islamic affair, nevertheless, because of his fondness for me, he would speak in support, and he did. I have similarly championed the causes of oppressed persons or people from every part of Nigeria. As much as is humanly possible, I have refused to be partial in my advocacy. In the last three years, I have visited 40 nations on my own dime and time, for the cause of #FreeLeahSharibu, seeking freedom for a Christian girl from Borno. I have not collected a dime from anyone and if anyone knows anyone who has given me a penny, then they should publicly expose me. Before Nnamdi Kanu was arrested, I did not know who he was. I just defended his right to freedom of expression and association. Various Igbo leaders called me privately to thank me. It would be wrong to mention their names, because of the challenges of the moment. When Kanu was rearrested, I called a British government official and got the facts. I was the first (not one of the first. The first) to reveal that he was arrested in Kenya, and not in The UK. After I released this information, the media ran with it. Yesterday, a former Presidential candidate sent me a tape of Nnamdi Kanu dissolving the UK branch of IPOB and tongue lashing the members of IPOB UK. He told them to hand over IPOB money in their possession. He then said that he suspected that the British Secret service was running IPOB UK. I was shocked and refused to believe what I heard, until this ex Presidential candidate from the South pointed me to an IPOB channel where this same audio was broadcast. So I published it on my page. I did not add or edit or alter the voice. I released it as is. Given that that broadcast was released earlier this year (I was told it was first broadcast in March of 2021, though I am not 100% sure) and Nnamdi Kanu was arrested so soon after (in June), I asked if that altercation could have led to Kanu being betrayed by his members in the UK. The result was that various persons, who claimed to be members of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra descended on my page and insulted me, attacked me and accused me of collecting money from Buhari. (Would Buhari even give me money? If Buhari will give me anything, it is more likely to be a letter bomb). They said Nnamdi Kanu can insult anyone he liked and I should leave him alone. A certain Northerner, who has been on my page attacking me for what he had previously called my “love for the Igbo”, now asked a question. He said ‘so you people have forgotten when this man was fighting for you so soon’? And so I went into deep thought. If Nnamdi Kanu eventually gets Biafra and I am a minority in that Biafra, what would be my fate? Would I be able to express myself? Would I have the freedoms for which I myself have been fighting for Nnamdi Kanu to get for the last five years? Would I be able to hold sensitive positions? I am not Yoruba, but because of me, these members of IPOB insulted the Yoruba (why do people always think I am Yoruba?). I was called ‘ewu Yoruba’. Somebody even threatened to kill me if I ever stepped into Onitsha (thesame Onitsha where I donated money and raised millions for victims of the 2019 Onitsha Market Fire?). These people in their hundreds descended on me with a consistent refrain, that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the supreme leader of the Igbos and he could insult his members if he chose and no one could question him. And that prompted a paradigm shift in my consciousness. If you have been following the dailies, you would have read one or two stories planted by the Buhari administration in the papers of how they have been tracing Kanu and monitoring his movements for two years. The stories claimed that they were able to get to him through members of the Eastern Security Network that they had captured. Then a few days ago, they released a video testimony of one captured ESN member, by name Emeoyiri Uzorma Benjamin, that has now gone viral, in which the young man claimed that Kanu had given them instructions to kill policemen and soldiers, as well as their fellow Igbos. He sensationally claimed that Kanu instructed them to bury one of his lieutenants, Nwaokike Kayinayo Andy, AKA Ikonso with 2000 human heads. Even more sensationally, he alleged that Mr. Kanu gave directives to them to kill young girls, who they used for fetish charms. Now, it is not possible to say it this fellow is telling the truth, or half truths or lies. However, from his testimony, or account of the inside workings of IPOB/ESN, and the broadcasts which I listened to, and which is also available on some IPOB social media accounts, we see that Nnamdi Kanu had almost total authority over IPOB. All this time, I was thinking that, though Nnamdi Kanu showed extreme indiscretion by going to a country like Kenya, which is notorious for extrajudicially extraditing people to regimes seeking them (the Turkish government did exactly the same thing the Nigerian government did with Kanu to Selahaddin Gulen, a Turkish dissident that was captured by Turkey’s intelligence from Nairobi. In that instance, Kenya first denied complicity, then promised to investigate the event. It happened in 2016. Kenya is still ‘investigating’ that event), that he nevertheless must have been betrayed by someone in his organisation, who tipped the Nigerian intelligence agencies that Kanu was headed to Kenya. But my experience with Mr. Kanu’s supporters made me have a rethink. With the way they treat him as though he is infallible, could it not be more likely that there was nobody within the organisation bold enough to advise Mr. Kanu not to travel to Kenya, because to do so, or to counter him in any way, would have brought upon such a person weighty consequences. And then I began thinking about the ‘dot in a circle’ statement by General Buhari. I had criticised Buhari for making that comment. It is most irresponsible of him to have described the Igbo as such. It showed his malevolent mindset towards some citizens of his own country, and he should apologise. However, on further introspection, I began to cast my mind to statements Nnamdi Kanu had made in his many broadcasts which I only watched just yesterday. He unacceptably insults Black people as being less intelligent than other races (how can a Black person say such things? Is that not self hatred?). He attacks Yoruba churches, pastors and media (what is a Yoruba church? Honestly, I had never heard of a Yoruba church until I heard that word from Kanu. I thought all churches belonged to God through Christ). You can imagine if you are Yoruba and sympathetic to the plight of the Igbo, and you listen to all the bile from Kanu about your ethnic nationality, how would you look if you continue to defend him to your kinsmen? Then you listen to some of the even more outrageous things he has said about Northerners (Igbos, your enemy is Buhari. Your enemies are not the Hausa or Fulani. Don’t mix up the two). I cannot even repeat them here. Looking back to those broadcasts, it looks to me that it is Nnamdi Kanu himself who made IPOB (not the Igbos as Buhari claims) a dot in a circle. He made no attempts to be persuasive. He did not even try to win hearts. He made no pretence of anything but contempt to anyone who was not part of his Biafra. Even though I had always thought that Odili, Amaechi and Wike and their people in Rivers state are Igbos, I now understand, but do not agree with Wike’s claims that they are not Igbos. Who would want to be a minority in a country ruled by Kanu? Tufiakwa! You speak your mind and you may be shot on the spot! To be honest, I had never listened to these broadcasts by Nnamdi Kanu until they were brought to my attention by this Southern Presidential candidate. I was clueless about their existence. In fact, I felt a bit naive. I felt like a fool! Anyone who has been following me for the last six years would have known how much of my time and money I have devoted to defending, advocating for and promoting the cause of the Igbos. However, having watched for the first time these videos where Nnamdi Kanu called Black people wicked (I am Black, but I don’t think I am wicked), and where he described Igbos who refuse to support IPOB as evil, I am flummoxed! However, the one that shocked me the most was his statement that (and this is an exact quote), “If you are attending a Yoruba church, you should be ashamed of yourself. Anyone who attends a church headed by a Yoruba pastor is an idiot. A complete fool. An slowpoke. I have no time for them. They are worse than Boko Haram. They are very, very foolish. If your pastor is Yoruba, you are not fit to be a human being.” And the funniest thing is that the pastor who provoked him into making that statement is from Auchi. He is not even Yoruba. No wonder they think I am Yoruba. To these lot, anyone Southerner West of the Niger is Yoruba. They have a majority mindset that is not minority friendly AT ALL. Even more disturbing is that this Auchi pastor, who Nnamdi Kanu calls Yoruba, and used to generalise all Yoruba pastors, was summoned by DSS in December of 2016, and asked to explain why he did a video calling for Kanu’s release. Who fights those who fights for them? How did I miss these broadcasts? Have I been too focused on Buhari to the extent that I was blindsided? Is this the fellow I have been defending? I am a minority. My late father was a minority. He went to Sokoto as a Youth Corp Member in 1975, and became Nigeria’s youngest Director of Public Prosecution and Nigeria’s youngest judge (at the time), and was elevated to the Court of Appeal, all from old Sokoto. Would that be possible in Kanu’s Biafra? And when he was interviewed in 2020 by Dr. Damages (I did not even know until the same Southern former Presidential candidate sent me the video), and given an opportunity to denounce his previous statements against the Yoruba, Nnamdi Kanu doubled down on it and said as follows: “Most of the difficulties we have been having have always come from these Yoruba pastors.” Then he went on to say in that same 2020 interview as follows: “Yoruba Pentecostalism is the reason why Fulanis are invading us today.” Where is the connection between Pentecostal churches and killer herdsmen? I was stunned. This video was recorded last year. How come I never saw it. I checked on YouTube and only 27,000 people had seen it. How can I be against Isa Pantami for saying “We are all happy whenever unbelievers are being killed” and then tolerate these statements from Nnamdi Kanu? If I do, it will make me a hypocrite. And while I mistakenly may sometimes be hypocritical, I will not be deliberately hypocritical. Everything I have said here is the truth. It is on video and audio. If you do not like what I have written, then jejely unfollow me. We are obviously not on the same wavelength and I am not about to change in order to make you like me. Reno Omokri Gospeller.

Hollywood Magazine Film Festival Humanitarian of the *What Would Life Be Like As a Minority in Kanu’s Biafra?* *"Reno Omokri"* Recently, my perspective on Nigeria changed. I have never suppor bted any separatist or secessionist agenda. However, I have supported and defended the right of any Nigerian to express himself and associate freely. It does not matter to me where such a person comes from. When the Buhari administration moved against Ibrahim Zakzaky and the Shiites, I was the first person (not one of the first) to defend them. After defending them publicly myself, I called the then President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, and begged him to issue a statement calling for an end to the killings of Shiites. He told me that though it was an Islamic affair, nevertheless, because of his fondness for me, he would speak in support, and he did. I have similarly championed the causes of oppressed persons or people from every part of Nigeria. As much as is humanly possible, I have refused to be partial in my advocacy. In the last three years, I have visited 40 nations on my own dime and time, for the cause of #FreeLeahSharibu, seeking freedom for a Christian girl from Borno. I have not collected a dime from anyone and if anyone knows anyone who has given me a penny, then they should publicly expose me. Before Nnamdi Kanu was arrested, I did not know who he was. I just defended his right to freedom of expression and association. Various Igbo leaders called me privately to thank me. It would be wrong to mention their names, because of the challenges of the moment. When Kanu was rearrested, I called a British government official and got the facts.

booscy: They're not yet serious, just playing to the gallery. Do they need anyone to bring it before them before declaring public holiday. The South West were having holidays on June 12 for so many years before it became national holiday. The South East governors are the worst set of governors in Nigeria. They don't protect Igbo interest. They don't pursue common interest. They will be shouting republicanism while they're being relegated in national affairs. Create a political siege mentality around Igbo interest without recourse to violence. No, they won't do so, parochialism and unnecessary superiority contest is what they will be focusing on. No central Igbo agenda by the politicians at the State and Federal level. 3 Likes |
