Politics / Re: Oshiomhole Opposed Yemi Cardoso As CBN Governor (Video) by Ilekokonit: 9:22pm On Feb 22
EFCC is now raiding the well-known Abuja Zone 4 market, shooting at Bureau De Change operators to stop the Naira’s rapid decline. ??

What a joke the Naira has become under Yemi Cardoso and Tinubu.

In serious countries like Britain, former Prime minister Liz Truss was booted out of office by her own party members after just 50 days in power for a disastrous mini budget that made the pound crash but in Nigeria instead of doing the same to the clearly bereft and incompetent Tinubu and his equally corrupt and grossly incompetent appointees, Nigeria is sending bullets after currency speculators

Tinubu is punching FAR above his weight and he has NOTHING but looting to offer Nigeria.

Tinubu is at his most dangerous now. Just watch and see.

How did Nigeria end up like this

On Monday, Peoples Gazette reported how the anti-graft agency raided the well-known Abuja Zone 4 market, shooting at Bureau De Change operators to stop the Naira’s rapid decline.

What a joke Nigeria has become.

Tinubu is now more dangerous than ever because his temporary halt to his drug sniffing will have ended now as the only way the treasury looter drug baron can get some sleep now is to be completely stoned out of his mind with hard drugs meaning that there are many more disastrous policies yet to come soon from the criminal called Tinubu.

Tinubu is at his most dangerous now. Just watch and see.

NaijaCrusader:
Tinubu should do the honorable thing and resign together with his ineffective CBN governor they have failed the task, Nigeria is too big for them. The confusion and ineptitude shown by them is at another level.

He should resign before he gets disgraced out of office

You are assuming that MC Oluomo's boss has any shame. The druggie is only interested in LOOTING and I can bet you that Tinubu is already richer than Nigeria as we speak.

If what he has been looting from 1 state (Lagos) for the past 25 years (and counting) was more than enough for him to use in corrupting our Supreme court, imagine how much the criminal WILL have looted from a whole country in the past 8 months ??

His modus operandi just like he did in Lagos was to steal the treasury blind so that he has a MASSIVE corrupt war chest to perpetuate himself and his hand picked loyalists for political positions in all tiers of government plus to out rightly buy the WHOLE of our judges so that they will do his bidding at the election tribunals.

Our criminal President Tinubu has just made his son in law the head of the Federal Housing Authority so that ALL of the sale of Nigeria's housing stock that should normally be used to provide low cost housing to poor Nigerians will be sold and the money deposited in his private bank accounts or that of his fronts.

No be Tinubu son Seyi use front company buy $11 million London mansion that Nigeria was seeking to confiscate as part of a probe into one of the biggest corruption scandals in the Nigeria’s history, according to previously unreported UK company documents ?

By making his son in law the head of the Federal Housing Authority, Tinubu is playing the same script he has used since 1999 to steal billions from Lagosians by looting monies from the sale of landed property owned by LSDPC (Lagos State Development and Property Corporation).

All Boris Johnson did was to lie to parliament about attending his own suprise birthday party during lockdown and that was enough to dethrone him. I wonder what Tinubu will do to the Nigerian Treasury before we wake up from our comatose slumber ?

Watch this space as it is going to be one rocky ride.

Game over for Nigeria.


With all the hunger in Nigeria, all Tinubu can think of is how to loot more money from the sale of landed property owned by the Federal Housing Authority ?

I was going to curse Tinubu before I realized that curses don't work.

By appointing his son in law as the head of the Federal Housing Authority, Tinubu will make billions if not trillions from the sale of the Federal Housing Authority Landed Properties that belongs to ALL Nigerians and he will now use the stolen billions to corrupt Nigerias future elections to his favour into PERPETUITY.

Tinubu is playing the same script he has used since 1999 to steal billions from Lagosians by looting monies from the sale of landed property owned by LSDPC (Lagos State Development and Property Corporation).

Again, I say, Game over for Nigeria.

They also re-grind cassava left-over (koko garri) which was usually fed to domestic goats and sheep.

Nigerians are now resorting to eating the rejected husk they once used to give to their domestic animals ?

I hope the Supreme court judges and MC Oluomo's boss are now proud of themselves.

Aisha has more balls in her toenails than a lot of cowardly Nigerian men who have already rolled over and are playing dead.

Like Fela Kuti sang 40 years ago in Original Suffer Head, before you can Jefa head i.e enjoy the COMMONWEALTH of Nigeria, you must be ready to fight for it or else suffer head will never leave you willingly.

Aisha Yesufu said she made up her mind on joining the struggle many years ago that she is already prepared to die whilst fighting against bad government in Nigeria, so she like Sowore is not cut from the same scared fabric most Nigerians were cut from.

Sad state of affairs that there are no longer men like Fela Kuti, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Gani Fawehinmi, Beko Ransome Kuti, Pa Alfred Rewane or women like Funmilayo Ransome Kuti (Fela's mum) left in Nigeria.

Thank God we still have the likes of Dele Farotimi, Aisha Yesufu and Sowore in our midst but we need a critical mass of such dogged fighters in our midst to turn Nigeria around from its SURE descent into a failed state IF this DANGEROUS status quo remains with the likes of our odious president and his MC Oluomo thugs and corrupt Supreme Court judges running the show.

Politics / Re: Why Are They Promoting Parliamentary Government by Ilekokonit: 11:06pm On Feb 18
Changing from Presidential to Parliamentary system is not the priority for Nigeria at the moment and it is unsafe given the level of demonic corruption in the hearts of our politicians and supreme court judges.

We are battling monumental corruption of our polithiefians and judges and changing the system of election will only give these criminals more leeway to hide under the confusion all changes brings to perpetuate themselves in power.

Although this bill is sponsored by a PDP Senator (Ned Nwoko) who practiced law in the UK, I hope it is not hijacked by MC Oluomo's boss to give himself tenure elongation.

For starters, the Parliamentary system in the UK does NOT have term limits and a British Prime Minister once served more than 20 years and a few others served 3 terms and even 4 terms.

We have to be careful what we wish for before MC Oluomo's boss in connivance with the corrupt Supreme court cash and carry judges gift the greedy drug baron a tenure into perpetuity for himself and his cronies.

Standstrong:
So last week, knowing he was about to travel, I went to remind him of my salary so I can visit hospital. Since I know he's someone with anger issue, first, I pleaded he shouldn't be mad at me for approaching him concerning the matter. So he pretended to be calm but the moment I mentioned my salary, he went mad and emptied the whole glass of beer he was drinking on me , not minding the white shirt I was putting on.

Not just doing that, he stood up violently as though he wanted to slap me (have done that before) and that was when I shifted away from the place, with my whole body in mess.

Before someone else will respect you, you have to have respect for yourself first. By allowing a fellow man to slap you and you still remain working for him, you are telling him that he can do anything to you as you are his slave.

I would rather work as a laborer on a construction site (it pays more by the way) than put up with a boss that insults me talk less of pouring beer on my head or slapping me. Dem never born any employer well wey go do that to me because I will knock him out flat and I will be justified in the eyes of the law.

Another 43-year-old man, Mikail Osundiji, died while watching the semi-final football match between Nigeria and the Republic of South Africa in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

It was gathered that Osundiji went into shock and died while watching the match at a public football viewing centre in Olomoore area of Abeokuta.

The father of two reportedly died when the referee cancelled Nigeria’s second goal against South Africa, by Victor Osimhen.

Similar thing happened in 2018 when a Nigerian doctor lost his life while watching the Super Eagles lose to Argentina in their final group D fixture of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Dr. Canice Ebirim, a consultant at the Federal Teaching Hospital Abakaliki (FETHA), died during the Super Eagles and Argentina match.

While confirming the news, the Chief Medical Director (CMD), of the hospital, Emeka Ogah, said Ebirim died within the period of the match.

According to him, a friend of the deceased revealed that he started behaving funny within that period.

“Ebirim’s friend said that the deceased started moving suspiciously and solicited for assistance which made him intervene and took him (Ebirim) to the hospital.

Efforts made to revive him at our hospital proved abortive as he died but we would liaise with his family to conduct an autopsy.

We are surprised at his death because he consulted at the hospital on Tuesdays. We have to wait till autopsy is conducted to draw further conclusions,” he told NAN.

The Super Eagles crashed out of the 2018 FIFA World Cup after the 1-2 loss to Argentina. The game saw Marcos Rojo score a late goal which broke the heart of many Nigerian fans.

I can bet my bottom dollar that Tinubu does not have 5 O'levels and all he is skilled at is dealing, sniffing drugs, forgery and looting the treasury.

Even his US Uni exams must have been sat for him by someone he paid.

What am I even saying, From Tinubu's submitted documents to Chicago University, he graduated from Government College Lagos in MAY 1970 but the school was formed in 1974. ??

The same criminal once said he went to Government College Ibadan and when scrutinized, he retracted this statement and changed it to Government College Lagos which the criminal claims he graduated from 4 years before the school was even formed. ??

The Principal of Government College Ibadan to prevent press scrutiny, actually absconded and went into hiding with the full records of ALL students who attended GCI at the same time our Criminal President Tinubu lied that he attended GCI.

In the US, Tinubu stole a woman's name, identity and Social Security number and he forged a lot of Certificates to actually get admitted into Chicago State university where he MUST have paid someone to sit his exams for him.

Tinubu also clearly forged the Chicago State university certificate he submitted to INEC but the BASTARD Supreme Court Judges looked the other way once Tinubu paid them colossal bribes and they sold generation of unborn Nigerians to Tinubu's pillage and financial banditry.

Lets see where all this ends.

2 Peter 2:3 (NIV) - In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories .

One of my friends who was a look out for approaching trains whilst his fellow rail track repair staff worked on repairing sections of British rail track got killed and cut into 3 pieces by a train in London many years ago.

He probably saw the train coming and possibly misjudged its speed. Before he could catch his breath, the slow train hit him first and whilst he shouted the fast train caught up with him and cut him into 3 pieces.

In the days of military regime under Buhari and Idiagbon during War against indiscipline, you dare not cross the road when there is an overhead bridge nearby as the soldiers will flog the living daylights out of you and make you do continuous frog jumps and that seemed to knock some sense into the heads of Nigerians.

I share the exact same views on that bro. Your posts are very enlightening

Come to think of it, enough babalawos and children of juju worshipers will have been captured, bound in chains and taken away to be enslaved in America and the Caribbean countries during the slave trade by the white man.

If juju was at its most potent and most effective in them days, why was the white man who only believes in the power of science and guns able to subdue the whole of Africa and capture so many slaves including babalawos Why could the babalawos not cast a single effective spell to stop the white slave traders from raping and pillaging Africans including countless babalawos and their children ?

Juju na Audio and is so much inferior to science.

Left to African juju believers, twins would still be left in the evil forest to die or be eaten by wild animals because in our backward beliefs in those days, twins were evil until Mary Slessor (a white woman) was God sent to save Nigerian twins from being abandoned at birth to die due to the fetish beliefs of our forefathers.

Take your time bro 'cos marriage is a case of fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

In the words of the 1986 Cameo song - Back And Forth -
Even when you think you've met a special kind of person, sometimes that person turns out to be not what they portrayed to you as they only showed you what they wanted you to see. And before you know it, the relationship always seems to go belly up and you keep going back and forth in an endless pursuit of a partner.

The truth is, you just can't win in Love even if you Sacrifice everything and money 'cos Love has no guarantee's and it will ALWAYS be like that.

Go thank God and nor dey deceive people and giving praise to juju make nor dey work.

I nor believe in juju and will never believe in it, because nor evidence grin

Na God save you, go thank am period.

Thank God my Dad told all of us not to believe in juju right from when we were kids. He narrated to us how way before independence, as kids, something went missing and they rounded up all the kids in the surrounding area and took them to a babalawo to use divination to identify who stole the property.

To my Dads amazement, the fraudulent lying babalawo picked my innocent dad as the culprit and from that day, my Dad decided as a young kid never to believe in babalawos or any form of juju and he passed on this invaluable advice to all his kids.

In my own opinion, science is superior to juju because for example, the simplest form of oyinbo science is the humble remote control. As long as it has a battery in it, a remote control will work yesterday, today and tomorrow and that is oyinbo science. on the other hand African juju's efficacy is based on hearsay and third hand information and scare mongering.

I'm yet to meet any Nigerian who has first hand experience or proof that they have seen juju in action and i am not talking of adulterers gumming together during sex which can be explained as penis captivus and just pricking the woman's thigh muscles with a pin will make her tensed vaginal muscles to relax and free the poor sods penis from its vice like grip (similar to when copulating dogs gum together and the look on the male dogs eyes is sheer terror at having his penis captured in his partners den of love but eventually when the bitches muscles relax, the male dogs penis is released and he scampers off to safety at top speed.

Also the so called penis theft can be explained as a form of micro penis. The guy gbola dey very tiny from birth but he wants public sympathy, money donations or he is on a vengeful mission or just plain mischievous hence he cooks up a "cock" and bull story that his penis has been stolen when in actual fact he had a chronic case of micro penis from birth.

I used to tell people in the beer parlours i used to visit that if they could use juju to command a can of beer to defy the laws of gravity and remain suspended in mid air, then i would believe in the existence of juju. Until then its fairy tales.

Other states should join so that Tinubu will know truly that Ebi ǹ pa wà o

The first time I heard Buhari refer to Tinubu as Asiwaju, I was sad but was willing to forgive Buhari since he does not understand Yoruba language and so will not have known the meaning of Asiwaju.

Those I can not forgive are those who understand the meaning of Asiwaju and still refer to Bola Amoda Ogunlere as Asiwaju.

Asiwaju in Yoruba language means someone who leads and others follow and Tinubu has only led in looting Lagos blind for the past 25 years and counting and Tinubu is MOST LIKELY richer than Nigeria as we speak 'cos his Supreme Court Bribery gotten mandate that has kept him in power for 250 days and counting has given Tinubu enough time to loot the Nigerian treasury to his hearts content and this is just the beginning of Tinubus brigandage.

From the minute Tinubu dodged debating fellow contestants and delegated questions to his hangers on at the Chatham house meeting in London, it should have been clear that Tinubu "personally" had nothing in his brain to offer Nigeria apart from looting the Nigerian treasury dry and bribing everyone to do his bidding up to the Supreme Court.

As the legal maxim goes, Nemo dat quod non habet, literally meaning "no one can give what they do not have". Tinubu has nothing positive to offer Nigeria. QED

Let me just log out now and follow the advice I gave to myself the day the Supreme Court sold Nigeria to Tinubu. I advised myself on that day as stated in my signature below to avoid Nigerian news so that I can focus on the 1 life I have been given because recent events mean that its a waste of time and effort hoping for a better Nigeria.
