Tinubu’s run-with-the-hare-and-hunt-with-the-hounds statement on Amotekun pretends to be statesmanlike and evenhanded but it actually only cleverly conceals its attempt to please the Aso Rock cabal. Only people with subnormal cognitive capacities will fail to see this.

Why didn’t he exercise this sort of even temper when he asked “where are the cows?” after Chief Reuben Fasoranti’s daughter was murdered in cold blood by people alleged to be herders? Tinubu might well have been right that the woman wasn’t murdered by herders, but he couldn’t have known that for sure since no investigation had been carried out. And he said it when emotions were still aflame. Plus, herders who choose to murder don’t take cows to the murder scene, which made his sarcastic question at once pointless, insensitive, and unstatesmanlike. Incidentally, it's the intensification of senseless, unresolved murders such as the one he taunted that inspired the formation of Amotekun.

Tinubu’s neither-here-nor-there statement mirrors the duplicity and opportunism of his symbolic actions on Amotekun. For example, neither Sanwo-Olu nor his deputy, who are both beholden to him, attended the formal launch of Amotekun, and Lagos was the only Southwest state where an Amotekun solidarity rally was disrupted by the police. These actions clearly typify opposition to the security outfit.

At the same time, Tinubu’s minions in the intelligentsia and his battering rams in the news media have come out strongly against the federal government’s—and some northern politicians’—opposition to Amotekun.

In wanting to opportunistically appease both sides in the service of his illusive 2023 presidential bid, Tinubu will appease none. The cold, calculating inner circle in Aso Rock is intensely aware that Tinubu’s fence-sitting is an insincere, self-seeking political maneuver to appease them, and the Southwest eople who were compelled to embrace Amotekun by the escalating sense of siege that unceasing mass murders by homicidal thugs have activated would be unimpressed by his ambiguity and lack of moral clarity.

People who are neither here nor there end up being nowhere, and, with time, nowhere becomes somewhere untoward.

Days b4 Amotekun was declared "illegal," Tinubu was in d Villa. His stooge in Lagos didn't attend d official launch of d outfit. Today, Lagos became d only SW state where an Amotekun solidarity rally was disrupted by d police. Why are pple asking Tinubu's to speak on Amotekun?


He has already spoken. Some silences-- and actions-- speak louder than words. Tinubu is more in dread of offending the cabal and missing out on his illusory 2023 presidency than he is of the wrath of his own people.

Southerners must ask their leaders:
1. Is Nigeria already at war?
2. Is d South already under economy blockage?
*Our borders closed
*Our markets on fire
*Our shops ransacked and looted
*Our appointments taken
What in Gods name is going on ?

The launch of Amotekun has revealed the entity behind security challenges in the South West and the entire country.

The Buhari family got Nigeria as a conquered territory to ruin and plunder at their own behest. The Buhari family and its gang of cabals lacks any iota of decorum and integrity. This is the legacy they would be remembered for.

Hanan Buhari and Unprecedented Abuse of Presidential Powers-THREAD


The Presidency said it isn’t a legal violation or even a subversion of convention for Buhari’s daughter to use a publicly funded presidential jet for private purposes. That’s flat-out untrue. But even if it were true, things don’t always have to be illegal for them to be condemnable. Something can be condemnable because it’s unethical or immoral, even if it’s legal. Making a tax-funded presidential jet available for the private use of Buhari’s daughter is straight-up unethical, even borderline illegal.


Of course, it’s entirely defensible, even expected, for Buhari’s family members to get on a presidential jet WITH him. That’s one of the perks of the presidency. But Buhari’s daughter, not being a Vice President, a Senate President, or a Speaker, cannot, on her own, use a presidential jet—certainly not for private purposes. Plus, there’s no precedent for this in Nigeria.


None of Obasanjo’s children ever used a presidential jet for personal vanity trips. We definitely never heard of any Yar’adua children use a presidential jet for private functions. And most people never even knew Jonathan had children. We barely heard of or saw them, and surely never ever read that any of them used a presidential jet without their dad in it.


No one in Nigeria’s history has personalized governance and murdered age-old expectations of basic decency in governance with as much impunity as Buhari has. Most members of his extended family not only hold key positions in his government, his children intrude on our national consciousness in the brashest and crudest ways imaginable.


The “corrupt” Second Republic politicians that Buhari overthrew and jailed in 1983 weren’t nearly as reckless, nepotistic, corrupt, and irresponsible as he has been. Shagari’s wife and children, for instance, were barely seen. None of them ever used the presidential fleet for personal trips. None of Shagari’s family members officially worked in d inner recesses of the Presidency.

The 1999 constitution says, “A public officer shall not put himself in a position where his personal interest conflicts with his duties & responsibilities." Buhari violates this on a regular basis. Recall that in 2015, Buhari wondered why a Nigerian president would need a fleet of aircraft when even the British Prime Minister used “the same public aircraft like an ordinary Briton.” He said he would sell off the aircraft in the presidential fleet if he became president.


When we pressured him to make good his pledge, his spokesman claimed on Oct. 5, 2016 that the government had put two jets up for sale. As usual, it was a lie fabricated to repel scrutiny. But giving an entire presidential jet to a 20-something-year-old recent graduate to go to take photos of an event is a low we had never reached in our entire existence as a nation.

In addition to his physical infirmity, this man is cognitively and mentally deformed beyond repair. I once called his condition presidential dissociative disorder (PDD). Here's a shameless medical tourist asking his minister to tell Nigerians they can't be like him and his family - F. Kperogi

No one has played itself into irrelevance faster than the way MURIC is doing to itself...always whining. When do they even have time to pray?


Isn’t Every holiday declared as a national holiday enjoyed by every Nigerian irrespective of your religious belief ?

This woman needs to be hibernated, quarantined, isolated from mankind.

As far as I know, he his the bravest revolutionary since Fela kuti, his fighting for Everyman, slavery ended because of the act of resistance, if Sowore does not eventually succeed, am afraid the change and a sustainable Nigerian will never happen till next century,we have to keep up the fight with our voice .

Sowore: The Disrupter of Nigeria's Political Landscape-THREAD

In 2018, Omoyele Sowore said he got into politics to "disrupt" the Nigerian political landscape like he did the media landscape. Many people thought he was being quixotic and self-aggrandizing when he said that. But he turning out to be accurate.

Since 1999, no lone individual has disrupted Nigeria's political space with as much consequence as he has done. In my interview with the Interview Magazine (theinterview.ng/2019/12/08/buh…) before he was rearrested in the court by Nigeria's lawless DSS, I nominated Sowore as my man of the year. I said, "He forwent his comfort to confront Buhari’s monster of fascistic executive overreach and is living, at least for now, to tell the story.

"He refused to give in when several interest groups prevailed upon him to compromise. He stuck to his guns, and he has now been released from illegal confinement.

"In this season of mass authoritarian hypnotism in Nigeria, that’s worthy of admiration and praise." Because of Sowore, Dasuki, who had been in jail since 2015--in spite of several court orders asking that he be released on bail--is now out of illegal detention. Other unjustly detained people such as El-Zakzaky may be next. Because of Sowore, US senators wrote a strongly worded letter to Nigeria.

Lickspittle Femi Adesina who said the US wasn't the world's police and should mind is business didn't get the memo that when American sneezes his puppeteers in Aso Rock quake in their boots.

Because of Sowore, the Punch wrote a trenchant editorial that rattled the addled little brains of the fascists in Aso Rock and their media enablers.

Because of Sowore, our permanently drugged and drunk Attorney General of the Federation suddenly became sober enough to eat his words and do the right thing. Recall that on Dec. 17 Malami had said he couldn't ask the DSS to release Sowore.

That, right there, my friends, is a disrupter.

Aso Rock Planned Deji Adeyanju's Attack-THREAD

I feel a tinge of guilt over the barbarous attacks on peaceful protesters by sponsored Aso Rock thugs in Abuja yesterday. My guilt stems from the fact that a senior member of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) reached out to me on Dec. 16 via social media private message to give me a foreknowledge of what happened yesterday.

He said agents of the Presidency invited executives of the NYCN to the Presidential Villa and asked them to not only speak out against the planned anti-regime protests by civil society groups but to also stage a counter-protest. When officials of the group said their organization was non-partisan and won't do what the Villa wanted them to do, Villa agents got angry and decided to inaugurate a new "National Youth Council."

"They are organizing a counter protest in the name of youth council," he said. He wanted me to alert the world. But I got too busy and didn't get round to doing it. Then I woke up yesterday to news of the primitive, bloodstained brutalization of civil society protesters, including Deji Adeyanju, by "youths" shouting "Sai Baba Buhari!" My exposing the fact that Aso Rock was paying "youths" to counter civil society protests might not have changed anything, but I'd at least be at peace with myself that I did the right thing.

Keep deceiving yourself, we all know what the truth is.


Afonja brought Alimifulani against Alafin oyo and Tinubu brought Buhari against Obasanjo, history is here to repeat itself. Awon weyrey alatenuje

...

Some Yorubas are known for their cowardice and two-face. And you can see how they are displaying it on a thread that has nothing to do with Igbos. But instead of them to face the writer, they are all over the thread shouting Igbo this, Igbo that.

Btw, the cabal has started with Tinubu already, it takes only a discerning mind and people who knows their onion when it comes to Nigerian politics to figure this out.

Now let’s go through this.... When Kemi resigned, she was replaced by a Fulani woman. When Kayode Fayemi turn governor again, a Fulani man took over his position. NIA office have a Fulani man after Ayo Oke. As it is now, the position of Osibanjo is standing on fragile ground. 90% of yorubas make Buhari what he is today..and they are afraid of saying things against thier anointed man. But.... The same anointed man is now dealing with the people that anointed him... Pity!

MoIbrahim:


Okay, it is now no longer Nigerian parlance abi? Now you moved to Nigerian politics? Better stop moving and stay in one place

Guy, you are daft beyond believe. Your stupidity is staggering. Is it that you can’t read to understand? Or what is it your problem ?

Freestainworld:
God, cant wait for Buhari military regime to end.

It will...everything that has beginning has and end.

netpro:


Jonathan severally met with militants. For your info, the Chief security officer of a state doing his job is not the same thing as 2 idiots having session.

Its easy for a young man who has never been a victim of the abuse of power or ever experienced or witnessed any form of persecution,to support a system of state repression and justify it in line with the thinking of those who perpetrate it.


When you personally squander your destiny like this;shebi later you will start blaming your old relatives in the village? Your parents sponsored you through school so you could come online for 30k and be talking trash. what do you use to try and quiet what remains of your conscience ?

I sympathize on behalf of your mother,my dear.
No woman deserves a moronic liability like you for a child.

Wow!

It did not start today.... When Kemi resigned, she was replaced by a Fulani woman. When Kayode Fayemi turn governor again, a Fulani man took over his position. NIA office have a Fulani man after Ayo Oke. As it is now, the position of Osibanjo is standing on fragile ground. 90% of yorubas make Buhari what he is today..and they are afraid of saying things against thier anointed man. But....

Bobrisky is in pain in Dubai for major operation he dear not cut that thing because tonto will not forgive him

A failure El Rufus is begging Kogi people to help re-elect a failure Yahaya Bello who is owing 39 months salary arrears.

How does one political party produce so many rectums? How does OfficialAPCNg pull it off?

Where is our London used president? Confirm if the protest ongoing in London is true, when will the DSS fly to London to arrest the protesters and charge them for treason?

How much humiliation can our amiable VP take? . When he resigned from his exalted position as a Pastor to serve as a slave of the Caliphate and a Southern collaborator, it became clear that he would go down shamefully as is the case now. What a shame!

Let’s be honest with ourselves for once, Atiku is wasting his time, the judiciary has long be hijacked by Buhari and the cabals when they pushed Onoghen out and appointment Tanko. The last hope of Man (Judiciary) is in the hands of unlearned, unpatriotic, achaic, desperate, choleric and ill-experience folks like Tanko...

Muhammadu buhari is the law, the constitution of Nigeria, who dares to challenge his wrong doings, the Judiciary is under his foot, the truth is Nigeria is operating with an head of state disguised as a president.

Generally my rule in life would be if I was driving round in a soft top 2 tone gold Lamborghini I wouldn’t be overly concerned with what was being shouted at me by a fat kid with glasses on while he’s waiting for his bus home

I so think the line "labours of our heroes past" should be removed from our national anthem. The labours of our heroes past is long gone in vain.
