Salute to the elephant...

Ajanaku to n mi igbo kijikiji..

Saw this on Twitter regarding Omoyele Sowore.

Does anyone agree, I personally believe that he is truly disrupting our politics with the recent events that has happened int he past few days. I think he is an enigma.

Yay, happy Christmas baba ooo

Any war now has to be won by the masses, otherwise, that will be the end of everything.. the political class have won for too long.

My problem is that you are missing the point - still.

Look, let's assume that Jonathan's security apparatus was weak, it is still right for us to question the politics around the event that happened - that is, the invasion of his home by thieves.

Focus on the politics now, not the security or Jonathan's own possible undoing.

I have one question for you, why did the alleged invasion of Jonathan's home happened a night before the release of Sambo Dasuki, are you aware that Dasuki has been in detention for close to 5 years now. Even when the court ordered his release, the government failed. So why now? What do you think about it?

For me, something is fishy and by the way, all those technological apparatuses you are talking about can be breaches in the nick of seconds.

I appreciate your view about technology as a technologist myself but I think that relying on it, will not be the best - given the possibility of breaches that can happen. And when you talk about latest technology, what does the Otuoke man know about it anyway.

healthserve:



My dear. Even ordinary rich men have fully enabled technological se urity with private servers. Let's start from here and a forensic audit of the house. And not rants. Let's start being very very diligent in our approach to things abeg.


I'm a Bayelsa man and yes I have misgivings about this administration but it shouldn't degenerate into pure hatred. If there are substantive claims yes let's call them out. Otherwise let's tred cautiously. We're all on this ship. If e start now they'll be casualties on all sides. Let's be guided and responsible.

See you missed the point

It is not the failure of Jonathan's own security failure or not that is being discussed; he obviously has armed security men and I believe that he has some security technology attached to his home too as ex president. The point here is that, this reckless government could be behind the whole security breach and maybe not. I hope you didn't miss this part where he said "My cautious approach is based on the diabolical precedents of this tyrannical Buhari government".

And yes, it is possible. Yesterday, some armed thugs representing the president went to disrupt a peaceful protest by people campaigning for freedom and rule of law. Thieves went to kill a soldier and some armed security and you don't want people to raise questions such as the one Gbadamosi raised. I don't necessarily agree to his views and theory, but this is called the public sphere where every theory is in the open and discussed.

Don't tell people to keep quiet. I would rather you suggest plausible explanations and nuances to what has happened.

We live in repressive times, and anything can happen.

healthserve:



We owe it ourselves the nation and to posterity to stand against tyranny. Till today I'm angry at how Alex Badeh died and not even this one. But unless there's leads, it's reckless to speak directly accusing a or no of such a hefty atrocity. The president should have atleast 50 cctv cameras in his house and should have state security protection. I repeat by now shaking ought to have occurred. Ordinary Arnold Schwarzenger a young dude tried to mess up in SouthAfrica got himself arrested almost immediately. Retired or sitting president this is huge and shouldn't be taken lightly. But the president's securities and the nation's security apparatus should have done something by now.


Ordinary ultra violet lights would have been used to collect biometrics, human parts along with cctv footage. And by now, those guys would have been toast.


Not all people can be messed with. I'm one. This one is on the ex-President Jo and current security apparatus own the shots. And not speculators

Yes, unsubstantiated..

How is it that you people won't allow people to reason the way they want anymore, let him say it as it is. It's his human right.
If you have any contrast opinion, let's hear it. Maybe you can start by explaining who was trying to kill Jonathan...

What can this stupid administration not do..

healthserve:
Unsubstantiated claim. Yes this administration is somehow but let's not ply the road of using any tool in desperation to achieve anything


I expect the home of the president to have atleast 50 solar night-time enabled cctv cameras. No need for noise they should have released videos and made arrests by now. Traced the bank accounts of the suspects and call records of the faces that turn up on the cctv footage


The home of the extelecom boss Ndukwe is almost a completely rigged server station. So I wonder why a president should be lesser. By now arrests ought to have been made with the IG making a speech the next day to this effect.

Hmmm, with the killer government in the seat of power, anything is possible.

You think that everyone is a coward like you will cannot talk because of some stupid folks at DSS

Coward!

jahsharon:


This one will probably replace Sowore in prison when DSS pick him up to expantiate his senseless claim.

See this baby, what do you know.

Go and sit down jor,

Yes, struggle continues, victory is certain.

quote author=J111333 post=85186839]It's like something dey worry this one, which struggle continues tomorrow?

Election is coming in 2023, you either vote out impunity or continue wailing after voting on sentiments.

Sowore has learnt his lessons in a hard way, I guess he will be wise now. [/quote]

Heads must roll ooo, Mr attorney general.

Until then, you guys have quickly done packaging because the US ambassador is visiting Buhari abi..

Oya, resign or let DSS people resign.

And all of you stooges justifying illegality, woe unto you.

IF YOU ARE A SENIOR MEMBER OF THE JUDICIARY: SHAME ON YOU...
WITHOUT PRESIDENTIAL ORDERS YOU HAVE NO BALLS...

If true, it reveals few things:

1. That the judiciary has no balls, and that is - because many of them have soiled their hands in dirty politics with the state
2. That diplomatic and social media pressures do work; with the intervention of everyone here and there and the US government, the federal government has no options really.
3. That Sowore's disruptive politics makes sense than people realise... for example, Sowore has drawn heightened attention of the World about the repressive state of politics. Also, without Sowore's situation, Sambo Dansuki may never ever be released.

Kudos to Omoyele Sowore, a enigma and a disruptor.

But the game is just beginning.

Someone should tell Dasuki that he has Sowore to thank
Someone should also tell El zakizaki to prepare for his release.... it time is neigh..

Although, it can be averted if Nigerians are willing.... but it will take a lot of physical and spiritual efforts.

I saw the same thing early 2019 on about 2 or 3 occasions, I heard people chanting revolution amidst a proper street war.

In the dream I led some youths all over the place to carry Tinubu when he was trying to jump over a fence. I am not a prophet and not close to one. but I see long before it occurs. Also, I am Yoruba and have nothing to gain if Tinubu is to go down, but what I see is what I have narrated.

I want revolution but I believe it can happen in a peaceful way without people losing their lives.

When people were shouting Sai Baba: They didn't know they they were Saying Sai Poverty, Sai Wickedness, Sai incompetence.

Mr PhD, you are just speaking English Jor.

You obviously are just bragging and have nothing to add, to apply your knowledge to the given situation you are speaking grammar. Shame on you!
Chest beater carrying certificate up and down with no value. I am not the one you will brag to with your academic qualifications because I will floor you in every intellectual argument and debate and I am not bragging about it. It is a challenge.

If you truly know politics in theory and practice as you've claimed, you will not be playing tribal politics here, and defending impunity such as the one Jonathan brought to our country; exactly, which theory supports political impunity and incompetence? What theory supports ethnic stoking and your tribal politics on nairaland? You went to a University, did it go through you?

And you have no idea what contentious politics is, because you are just an ethnic jingoist. Sorry mate, we are not in the same league, answer my questions and I will show you that I am your father x 10.. I will also teach you what academic rigor means.

I also want to challenge you to an open debate here on Nairaland if you are sure of yourself.

Choose any topic in politics; let's discuss it in any context you like and if Nigeria, perfect.... open a new thread for us and let's debate it. I promise to beat you to a pulp and teach you that we not mates intellectually, but not all of us have to chest beat.

If you are not sure of a topic let's crowd source it here and let's see who is the father.

Answer my question, accept my challenge or keep quiet forever.

FactsAndTruth:


Go through the rigours of academic exploits first then I'll take you seriously when you say a Doctorate is as worthless as you try to paint it.

You probably bandy around a fake oluwole WAEC certificate like your lord of manor, the dullard in aso rock, so you can never appreciate the value of painstaking intellectual exploits.

I earned a doctorate in a field of pratical applicability of acquired knowledge, not in abstract fields where your likes speak empty grammar laced with hot air without achieving nada.

Academic gymnastics at the topmost echelon, gives one not just a discerning mind but a cause-and-effect methodology of solving everyday problems starting with your immediate surroundings where you apply it in your own personal and familial administration. Charity they say begins at home. I have no regrets about my qualifications and gift of cerebrality.

As for the brand of politics I play. Isn't it obvious? I play unapologetic practical politics. A spade should be called a spade, if your ox is gored so be it. The political milieu of the Nigerian state riddled with butt-licking and hypocrisy may not very kind to people like us but we will stand for our convictions nonetheless.

In a nutshell, I stand for the truth, and truth remains that you and your people are hypocritical mongrels and vultures who won't hesistate to throw others under the bus to achieve your heart desires at the detriment of the rest of the south especially the East.

You are not qualified to call for the unity of south at this time.

Bro please don't join them in this tribal war, we are more sophisticated than that.
Say no to tribal politics please.

darkwan:
why are igbos soo hairy....

Mr PhD, Jonathan who is your hero also bandied his doctorate around but could not discern when citizens were calling his attention to the ugly state of things. He was all over the plays saying how much he has spent on this and that; he has nothing and I mean nothing to show for it.
Nigeria's decline was orchestrated by Jonathan and his cabals who were looting us in broad day light. Did he not have a PhD?

And why do you people just accumulate degrees upon degrees for nothing, without using it to Xray the problem of your society properly and proffer appropriate solutions and actions. By the way, which professor allowed you to graduate without getting it into your skull that political awareness and contentious politics are not about tribal wars and ethnic division. Yorubas and Igbos can play different kind of politics, it is okay but it doesn't have to be tribal stoking and war or name calling.

You are obviously a PhD that cannot tell that political hegemony (as the hausas have today) (go and read gramsci's prison notes), cannot be broken through jingoism, ethnocentric-ism and the kind of politics that you and other folks are unto here.

Are you aware that to bring down any hegemony, people in the public sphere such as you and I, irrespective of our differences, must unite first and wage our war of counter-hegemony? Do you know what the war of counter hegemony is? All this may be too much for you Dr, so I want to challenge you before we can even debate further; else, I will ignore you - because I will be convinced that you are just a noise maker and I am not in your league.

Tell us what contentious politics and the difference between contentious politics and partisan politics. If you are able to explain it, please also tell us how contentious politics is opposed to Jingoistic and Nationalistic politics. Also, clarify where you stand.

FactsAndTruth:


Who fought the Yar'adua cabal? and who didn't? I'd like you to be specific.
I know more about this country than you ever will.
And no you are wrong, I was already admitted for my M.Sc when the brouhaha ensued.

You are talking to a young PhD, a socio-political commentator and a bundle of knowledge in Nigerian ethno-political history.

I know every region and how they think ethno-politically. I've lived in every region at different times and speak the 3 major languages. Be respectful.

Where were you when we all fought to expose Yaradua and the cabals who didn't want Jonathan to see the reign of power.

I bet you were writing Jamb or locked up in one office collecting 10, 00 naira salary to survive; let me enlighten you.

Jonathan did get there on a platter of Gold, people fought for him to become President, and it was the same people who fought him to be out when he started misbehaving. The same rules apply to Buhari and will continue to apply.

Cowards want everyone to be playing the ethnic card, no politics is more than that your foolish egotistic and jingoistic approach to doing it.

You want out of Nigeria? Okay, negotiate it or use any means you have but please stop your tribal stupidity.

FactsAndTruth:


He is still blaming heaven and earth for his own lack of foresight. Why not blame the milky way for your myopia. Iti nyo nyo!

You hold him here, he tries to meander. Slippery creatures.

We played it correctly that's why we told buhari in 2015 that a donkey is more qualified than him to rule, we repeated same statement in 2019 through the ballot while damning the consequences!
Who can have such balls than such people? Give respect to whom to it is due!

While we are speaking the truth to the tyrant through the ballot, mor0ns like you in SW were jubilating and capitalizing on it to ascribe yourself the sole right to the presidency, by pushing the narrative that the East hates the north and therefore the north will give power to SW and continue to sideline the East.

Since when did Buhari become the North, was Shagari not a northerner, was Yar'adua not a Northerner?
You'll be shocked!

Honestly, the matter tire me.
When it is sporting time like football, come and see Unity between this two groups.
Unity that no one else in the World can ever understand or break.
We intermarry a great deal and it is even increasing especially among Nigerians in the diaspora. These days I am hearing names like Adefunke Okpara, Emeka Oluwafemi and so on... What can be more beautiful!
As some igbos love Amala, so can many yoruba's die for isi ewu.
Yorubas like me name our children beautiful igbo names, some igbos like my friends name their kids yoruba names.
We attend each other's function, we rent houses to ourselves and do business with one another.
We employ one another to our companies and worship at the same places of worship.
I think the online tribalism and ethnocentric thing comes from outsiders who are bent on dividing both, but I also think that it comes from Yorubas and Igbos who had poor and biased upbringing, such as those who grow up in villages without exposure to how towns people roll together.
That is why I don't play no ethnic politics, why would I when we all are suffering the same evil northern powers. I don't hate the north but we have to say it as it is, Yorubas and the Igbos are not the problems of one another. I bet that we will make the best nation on earth if both can come together. Actually, enough of the division..

Actually, my suspension is that there are non-Nigerians who already do that, just to cause more distraction and hatred.
But I won't be surprised if northerners do too. Yorubas and Igbos are supposed to be best of the best of friends, irrespective of cultural differences.
But guys are allowing themselves to be divided. And only both tribes unite, all the noise about Biafra and Odua maybe in futility.

MKULTRA:
Am even suspecting that some northerners are here on NL and they pretend to be Igbo, Yoruba and other minority tribes
just to cause division and misunderstanding.
Trying to use the divide and conquer tactics.

Like Buhari?
All of them are dead together,.,

Brandstudio01:
Op thank you for reminding is that Nigerian Nipost is dead

Look at you talking of 107billion, when we can just make it 37 trillion dollars.. and if you like just round it up to $40 trillion dollars.
Oga I no dey follow you talk billion ooo and I don't talk in naira.

Nwadiuto247:


Ok then let's raise it to 57b naira..

No no let's make it 77b naira.

No no no let's make it 87b naira?

No no no no.... Let's make it 107b naira. They are renovatimg hell.

They won't even let us face the issue at hand, all they do is cause distraction all the time..
Yes, northerners are bad and taking over our politics, fight them and win or align with Yoruba's and win. If not, shut up and accept your fate.
But all they do is whine, whinge and distract.

MKULTRA:
To those eastern folks(I know SS, and MB are already with us)
Why can't we just deal with the northerners first(a big threat in the room to all even to themselves)
After that we can get back at fighting each other

If not we just end up losing both sides or even all.

You are just a tribal warrior up to no good, chest beating for nothing up and down.

What sense is in all the gibberish you've just typed here?

Better shut your trap with your Jonathan nonsense; Jonathan remains a very corrupt and irresponsible President and he along Buhari will go down in history as one of the worse. I repeat, choosing Buhari was the better choice then in 2015 for anyone that wasn't interested in your ethnic card, and although Buhari's first term could have been better, he managed to cool the the spate of thieving that all of you Jonathanians were doing in broad day light.

Just about the third year of Buhari or so, his government was hijacked and some of his score cards became as bad as they were under Jonathan and that was when people with conscience started to backtrack. So what is their sin? That they voted him in the first place?

People like you justifying Jonathan up and down and blaming Yoruba's for your misfortunes are useless and senseless animals,..

If yoruba's don't play it right, get balls, play it correctly and stop shouting, shouting and shouting.

Coward!

FactsAndTruth:


Your are mouthing off nonsense and you know it. You numbskulls always find fortitude to hide under 'Oh Jona forced us to vote Buhari'. So convenient!
You are the antelope that conveniently blames the goat, when a lion eats your child because you allowed it to stray in your stupidity.

Just imagine that it was Igbos that brought this disaster called buhari. We will not hear the last of it from you scumbags, you will continue to remind everybody how the East destroyed the country by voting tyrannic nincompoops into power.

Always conveninently trying to play 'hide and seek' even when caught with a smoking gun. Always thinking everyone else is an idiot while you smarter than everyone else.

They make serious gaffes, instead of embracing corrections, they try to deodorize it and fool everyone else and call it 'sophistication'

Nonsensical yoruba mentality.

If this east cannot suffer with the rest of Nigeria, what have you done about it apart from agitating for Biafra on Nairaland and calling anyone that is not in support names... What initiatives, activities have you put together to engage your people, sensitize and empower then regarding yourdesired secession? Fact is Jonathan was irresponsible and terrible... only that Buhari has just surpassed him in cluelessness.. But he is definitely not better, don't justify any rubbish here.

FactsAndTruth:


Buyer's remorse ko! Seller's regrets ni!

What preaching did the East not preach, what begging did we not beg, what facts did we not lay bare about Buhari's antecedents as a desperate tyrant who will take away your freedom if given just one month to rule?

No, the East cannot suffer buyer's remorse with you, we knew the dangers that you decided to plunge in headlong. Your ears were blocked with rocks of hate, those rocks should be pushed into your mouth for you to chew, let it crack your teeth if it will.

See you!

#1/min will be barely enough to complete the renovation, I suggest #100 per min of call you receive and #200 per per poopoo you drop...
I call it the #Callpoo tax for NASS development.
You guys have to be patriotic oo

OlujobaSamuel:

That's not good enough, they should tax us separately for NASS renovation, deducting #1/min of every call initiated and 50kobo for every call received.
Awon maddd fellows

37 billion naira is not enough to be honest considering that around N40 billlion had been spend in 2014 which was not enough at all. I suggest N37 trillion dollars. Please note I didn't say naira. I mean dollars...

If we allocate 37 trillion dollars at least we'll all know that nothing is left for the common man again. Right now, common man can barely survive but we don't know it. So, people please support my proposal for $37 trillion.

This people don finish Naija men

All activists are idiots, then people like you nko? Animal in human skin?
Activists are not perfect and that is okay, they are humans too but to call them idiot is to expose your lack of common sense.
Shior

Littleman123:

You are with him on your bed abi?
Dont let us be fool by these idiots called themselves activist starting from sowore, kanu, deji, FFK and Reno... they were sponsored and they have already set their target of personal interest. Their families are living fine in UK and US. They will just drag us with no backup to the mud. Who knows that Deji Adeyanju is a US citizen. What I just know FFK and Reno running their mouth in diaspora should come home(in Timaya's voice ) , I still think why Nigerians are so gullible to believe whatever this people says on social media.

Just because he left PDP?

You are just fuming up and down, he has more pedigree than you do.

nokatakata:
Deji is a fraud. whatever happens to him is his phucking business. the idi.ot lies too much for cheap public attention. he should get a proper job. You can't be claiming to be a full time activist because you are lazy and jobless and want people to bribe and use you as a tool.
