Except he spared Tinubu his benefactor. Right? Man is a shameless arselicker.

Akande didn't spare anyone he knew of their success or failure. However, illiterates prefers to speculate rather than read.

Mr. Bode, please deal with the facts and not emotions.
The age of covering for lies is over.

This is the first book I have read by a Nigerian politician who didn't spare his friends and foes.
He didn't hold back at all.

Buhari all the way jare... x. Nextlevel

harqinhola:
Bandits supporting Armed robber .... #atikulooted #General all the way. If you like die na your wahala never that

harqinhola:
This Buhari has got to be one of the most irresponsible serving President . The old man doesn't care at all .

You haven't changed at all. Easily distracted from the main issue.

donpapa:
Stop misleading the public!

Stop lying.
Several months backlogged salaries and arrears are still unpaid.

omoolokunEsin:
I bought a copy of the book yesterday and I must confess that it is a great read. Please, do not form an opinion on any of the excerpts now being published piecemeal. You wouldn't get the complete photo that way. There are much deeper issues that intertwine to form a big whole. My take at this moment - I'm now on Page 237, which is the start of Chapter 18 - is that there's no TRUE LEADER anywhere in Nigeria, not just in Yorubaland. Every one of them is after his interest, dubiously camouflaged as the General interests of Nigerians. One by one, they will continue to expose themselves without knowing it. We shall overcome.

Good for you.
You chose to read rather than throw tantrums based on excerpts.

Flyingngel:
Old man behaving as a kid. Lieing his way down.

Can you list the lies or you have comprehension problems?

Adebowale89:
Tinubu couldn't advise this open loud old papa not to release his gibberish book yet

he kept accusing those that would have support his allies in his political ambition, a complete idiot man

Dumb kid referring to his grandfather's mate as an idiot.
Akande is not a man that pretends, he says it as it is.
If you are that pained, go and use the Lagoon.

Oyinlola spent 6 years in power with higher allocations with nothing to show for it.

He won an election and discovered some funds were mismanaged.
What did he do?
He made noise about corruption and then set the suspects free after some people allegedly intervened.

Akande is a prudent manager who knows the dangers of an overbloated civil service.
The result of reversing his policies is still lingering over the state as the government
is still owing workers several months in salaries and arrears.

Adebanjo is overreacting.
The book has been published already.

chiefobdk2:
The review said university of ibadan press changed the original words or alagao to favour a certain narrative.. Thats why he was demanding the original manuscript

You need to go back to school.
The reviewer never said such even indirectly.

Where is the fraud allegation in that review?

The reviewer is disappointed that a chronicle was written like a chronicle.

Magnoliaa:
''Cannot be forced to disclose sources'' and ''constitutional rights to remain silent'' =/= people or suspects or supposed witnesses or key informants/stakeholders cannot be invited for interview for investigation purposes.

You got it all wrong.
You are essentially promoting harassment.
Even if we accept your logic, Kemi is not a suspect, witness, informant or stakeholder.
Outside the school, the students, the parents and the suspects, involving unwilling third parties is pure harassment.

Also, even if sources cannot be revealed, CAN EVIDENCES NOT be revealed as well?

What has this got to do with Kemi?
Or is Kemi the evidence that need to be revealed?

When did investigative journalism become posting a bunch of words on the internet and just leaving it at that and expecting people to swallow it hook, line and sinker?

The constitution did not mention "investigative journalism", in fact such title is meaningless
as far as the constitution is concerned.
The constitution expressly protects Nigerians from being harassed.
Even if Kemi is a road side hawker, neither police nor Falana have the rights to harass her for her view.

I said something similar that it is illegal to invite Kemi because she ha no case to answer.
But I got attacked by ignorant and emotional posters who wants Kemi to
be crucified for daring to state her position.

It is a shame that Falana has chosen to destroy his assumed moral standing because of money.

He can cry but he would never condemn ElRufai or Buhari for not taking drastic measures.
Despite insecurity, all northern governors and legislators are still opposed to state police
and still support open grazing.

ReeLoaDead:
Regardless, we do not have the will to fight Boko Haram.
No military intelligence, not sound tactical strategy, no coordinated ground/aerial attack.

It is not about will. Try to get direct information if you know anyone in the theatre of war.
Boko haram are still very much powerful because they have much larger numbers and have
effective winning strategies.
Remember what happened close to 2015 elections?
Jonathan had to hire external fighters when he realized too late that the army lack the capacity to fight.
Unfortunately, Buhari is too dumb to see the clear picture and he disbanded the mercs.

It is sad and frustrating. All the fault lies with the government and top military brass.

You are right about this, the government and military chiefs are clueless.
The enemy has far greater number of fighters and better tactics than our armed forces.
Gone are the days when they run on approach of the military, now they are the one taking the battle
to military posts and camps instead of the other way around.

Bobloco:
Honestly, I don't know what the military are waiting for, we have never had it so bad

They are waiting probably because they have no solutions too.
An army running away and abandoning their weapons at the sight of Boko haram is nothing to be proud of.

Grandmeister:
The Nigerian military is just a propped up body of armed men used by those both locally and internationally siphoning the resources of this land. Their main reason for existence is to keep the masses in check from disturbing the steady looting of the country's resources. Make no mistake, the Nigerian military CANNOT win any conventional warfare today.

You are wrong, the military can easily win any conventional war.
But neither Bandits nor Boko haram are fighting conventional war.

But you guys claimed, they are not ESN.
Confused lot.

Laggafin:
If the herder in Aso rock has balls and wants to put an immediate stop to Banditry.. chief sheik of West African Bandits should be picked up Asap and rusticated

Picking him up will have no effect on banditry.
It will only make a mockery of the government which will look stupid clueless for
arresting a man who has not committed a crime according to our law.

Even in cases where the leadership of terror organization is clear such as Boko haram
and Alqaeda, the death or arrest of the leaders didn't weaken the group.

newbornmacho:
Women are scum, and can never be equal to men.

The useless vagina senator olujimi is a jobless idiot.

What a ridiculous useless bill

Spits ...women are scum

I appreciate those Northern senators for this

Who released you from psycho ward?

omoharry:
So you need fund to carry out protest ? This is a life & death situation oo! If they don't protest and remain quiet ,the govt would continue to be complacent in poor management of the security situation in the north.

I am just describing the reality here. Any protest need serious funding.

Forget the ENDSARS protest and how it was funded. How were protest done in the past..we had more courageous men with burning fire to effect than what we have today ? It's not about money but the will to carry out this protest . With a crowed funding of N100 each from every willing volunteers, they should be able to get more than they bargained for .

If people know that there is going to be a protest that cab force the fed govt to attend to the insecurity that is presently affecting every one, I don't think raising money through crowed funding should be a problem.what is needed is a courageous & a charismatic person that can coordinate Thier protest peacefully...and force the govt to attend to the terrible security situation in the north .

You seem to think protest will have immediate effect on insecurity. It won't.
Asking the government to exercise its power such as in the case of EndSars or subsidy protest
is quite different. There is no off and on switch for insecurity.

When a core tribalist like Buhari's can't even protect his close clans in his village
from violence, that should give you a hint of what is happening.

OBJ said it better few days ago.
Buhari has nothing more to offer. The situation is beyond his capability.
So people have to buckle their belt as the insecurity issue rages on or prepare
for a marathon protest into 2023.

Moferere:
Is this what you called a protest?
People who are not up to 20?
The North ain't serious mehnn

Sponsoring large protest is not cheap without funds from moneybags.
An organic protest will not work for sentimental reasons.

KoshCAD:
Oga, your people are begging us. We will not. We will rather continue laughing at you people. Una never see anything.

Una never bleed well, bandits have not even cleared a whole city, so why crying.

Don't be gullible.
It is the usual protest organizers that are issuing statements.

If you happen to live in the north, please stay away from such gathering for your own good
because we don't want to hear how southern protesters are locked up while their
northern counterpart freed.

Maxymilliano:
If Baba Akande was honest with no records of graft as claimed, why then was he sentenced and jailed for corruption by the Buhari regime 37 years ago

Bisi Akande was jailed for 44 years in 1984 by Buhari military regime

Buhari packed head of departments in civil service as well as some southern politician
and threw them into jail for alleged corruption which were not defined.
It is not a surprise they were all released when power changed hands.

fluffybaby:
Does Kemi pay tax? Is she a registered journalist with all legal papers to back her claim? If she has not been paying tax all these years she has been claiming investigative journalist she should be called in for questioning.

You and Kemi are ignorant.
Paying tax is the duty of all income earners and not journalist alone.
It is not the duty of the police to investigate tax issues. We have FIRS and SIRS for that.
There is no formal qualification or legal papers for being a journalist unlike say doctor.

Kemi is ignorant because she thinks she is protected because she is a journalist.
She is actually protected as a citizen of Nigeria from being harassed.

You and Falana should stop supporting illegality.

joyandfaith:
He was not kabukabu lawyer when he was defending buhari Nepa certificate. It is like APC member or Tinubu associate own dowen college.
Most times you are defending Tinubu you spit meconium- stained opium.

Any human right lawyer who defends a Nepa certificate holder is dubious and lack integrity.
There is no doubt that Buhari lacks the qualification to contest.

bencr7:
That why like d US they will first invite kemi to proof where she caught d information that d boy try to joint but if she have no proof punishment straight,will can see now wat is happening to that gay boy in empire but if she right and d truth come out to be right she is free

Stop saying what you don't know.
The US police do not invite strangers to an ongoing investigation.
If they need to talk someone who may be involved they will ask for the person's permission
which can be refused.
In fact, no citizen is required to talk to the police whether they are suspect or not!

In the case someone is involved in a crime and there is evidence for it, the police will
go to court to get a warrant of arrest.

Falana is supporting illegal police action against an innocent person.

Oloniyan:
This woman is still enjoying freedom because of the influence of her father.
It's high time she go back to PH

Why do you guys love oppression so much only to start crying when you become a victim?
Please list the crimes Kemi has committed so far on this case that warrants her losing her freedom.

ChiefSosa:
]Bruh, in Nigeria, some criminals announce the dates of operation, and even write letters to their soon-be victims, yet the police don't bother to show up when the day comes.

Even in Nigeria, criminals don't announce the dates of their operation.
Not even Boko haram with all the weapons in their possession does.

I suppose you are referring to some letters written by armed robbers to some communities.
No specific date nor time nor location are indicated on those letters. Even if they do, criminals
haven't been known to be truthful and such information are likely a diversion.

Let us even assume you are a top police chief and decided to mobilise hundreds of policemen to wait for
them.
What stop the robbers from moving to another community for the time being and
come back to their original target after the police have chased a ghost for a week or two
and look stupid as no one shows up?

In the case of protest, it is widely broadcasted.
The organizers identity, location and the exact time is widely disseminated to attract as
much participant as possible.
Even in many cases, the organizers informs the police their movement on the day.

There is zero basis for comparison.

Golan007:
Shame how?

Did MTN have any structure when the very first licences were issued?

MTN have been operating in several countries before getting their license.
This Mafab has no experience with communication, has no real plan and have no business
bidding for 5G license.
The government just created another middle man to milk the telecommunication sector without
offering any value.

Mafab shouldn't even be in the race.
They have created another avenue for racketeering.

ChiefSosa:
I've noticed that the police and other security officials are always available any where there is a protest against this government; it doesn't take them time to organize themselves and appear at protest grounds. But, they're never found when actual crimes are going on!

Criminals obviously don't invite outsiders nor publish the date of their operations.
