₦airaland Forum

Dress like black widow

The Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum yesterday cautioned the Federal Government not to proceed with its plan to set up a radio station for Fulani herdsmen, saying the move would precipitate a crisis in the country.

It warned that the station would become a weapon for spreading hateful propaganda against other nationalities.

It regretted that the development was unfolding at a time the Federal Government has been allegedly acting as the information wing of Boko Haram and herdsmen.

The forum’s reprimand came on the heels of accusations by some prominent Nigerians that the government was executing a ‘Fulanisation’ agenda, a claim the President Muhammadu Buhari administration has dismissed.


“We totally reject this insensitive decision of the government,” the forum said in a statement by spokespersons Yinka Odumakin (South West), Prof. Chigozie Ogbu (South East), Senator Bassey Henshaw (South South), and Dr. Isuwa Dogo (Middle Belt).

“The radio smacks of hypocrisy and deception, coming from a government that has in the last four years denied responsibility on behalf of Fulani herdsmen for crimes they (herdsmen) even owned up to.”

It noted that Section 55 of the 1999 Constitution recognises English, Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo as languages in which official business could be conducted but leaves out Fulfulde, which according to the forum, most northerners don’t even understand.

It insisted that the radio station would be used to spread hate against other ethnic nationalities; given the poor way the government has handled the killings of thousands of citizens. It added that the plan would destroy the nation’s fragile cohesion and affirm views that the Buhari administration is a Fulani government.

Minister of Education Adamu Adamu confirmed the acquisition of the station’s licence in Abuja on Tuesday. He said the radio service would operate on 720KHz frequency and would strictly use the Fulani dialect. He further disclosed that plans were underway to get funds for the procurement and installation of equipment.

The executive secretary, National Commission for Nomadic Education (NCNE), Prof. Bashir Usman, explained that some veteran Hausa broadcasters have already been contacted to develop programmes for the station.

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar meanwhile has alleged that “unscrupulous and anti-democratic elements” were plotting to “contrive skirmishes in the coming weeks” with a view to implicating him.

“We wish to blow the whistle as an early warning alert of the grandiose scheme aimed at jeopardising the reputation of His Excellency Atiku Abubakar in the coming days and weeks. By the merit of what is beginning to unfold, there are plans to create some upset across the country whereby alleged perpetrators of such crimes will engage in phantom name dropping of Atiku Abubakar and some senior personalities in the PDP,” says a statement by Paul Ibe, spokesman for the former vice president.

It reads: “Already, we are abreast of some other plans to plant fictitious stories in some mushroom media outlets aimed at discrediting Atiku and his political party, the PDP. It therefore becomes preponderant that we alert the public to this demonic plan and to say that it will be imprudent to compromise the peace and security of Nigerians in order to score a cheap political goal.

“Towards this end, and for the umpteenth time, we call on the Federal Government to be awake to its responsibilities of providing security and ensuring peace, and to desist from actions and utterances that are capable of exposing our fault lines.”

The statement adds: “It is very unsettling that senior administration officials, especially those who are the mouthpiece of government, will make reckless but calculated comments to tarnish the image of Atiku Abubakar and government will sit idly on them.

“With the conclusion reached by relevant security outfits that there is no evidential proof to back the claim by Lai Mohammed that the opposition was planning to upstage the government, we demand that the information minister should be arrested for a breach of security and an apology rendered to Atiku Abubakar and the PDP.”

In an effort to determine the top security agency in Nigeria, the eminent judges narrowed the field to three finalists: the SSS, the Army and the Nigeria Police Force. The three contenders were given the task of catching a rabbit which was released into the forest assigned to each of them. The SSS went into the forest and placed animal informants everywhere! They questioned every plant and animal witness and after three months of extensive investigation, they concluded that rabbits do not exist! The Army went into the forest. After two weeks without a capture, they burnt the forest down killing everything in it, including the rabbit! They made no apologies. "The rabbit deserved it - why was it hiding?" they thought to themselves. The Nigeria Police went into the forest. They came out two hours later with a badly beaten hyena! The hyena kept yelling, "Okay, Okay, I agree, I'm a rabbit, I'm a rabbit!!”

While you do all that, I advise property owners to make their properties a little more spacious and stop thinking the kitchen should only take a cooker and sink.

Gucci is just another store with nice stuff alright, no big deal.

Oh, luxury is a thing of the mind now?

1. Ok my brother, do you own a private jet? Do you have a family member that owns one? or do you have a friend that owns one? Does anyone on your street or in your town own a private jet?

If you saved every single naira you've come across in life till you replied me just then, will it be enough to buy you a private jet?

2. Corrupt business men are just what they are, corrupt. They live in luxury from the money of the people while some pastors do the same. Whether it's tithe, offering or tax...the money comes from the people so they ought to be held to the same standards. Please i don't understand the landlord part.

There's a difference between NEED and WANT. I do not need a private jet. I do need to fly regularly so i purchase my flight tickets when i need to. Do i want to own a private jet? Off course, but not because i need it..i don't need a private jet. And i am pretty sure you don't need one either. Neither does the church. That makes it a luxury enjoyed by pastors.

There's nothing psychological about it.

Think of owning several airline companies or at least major shares in some of the biggest.
And also think of owning luxury yatchs as well. You may not need to travel as much, but those could be money spinners.

Have a large heart my friend. And stop thinking as a consumer only. This 2018, think differently. Imagine big things. It's free.

kolawoleibukun:
when we start to hear that lie. make una no day lie useless lie my guy. nopastor get wealth for the country. none of them be billionaire $ yet. wetin you day talk sef?

Yes o, na that direction we dey enter this 2018. BILLIONAIRE PREACHERS, teachers, believers, etc etc

jamesibor:
Your mumu never do?

Yup

Next2Bezee:
Buying a flight ticket is economical.

Buying a private jet is luxury.

Two things:
1. You define luxury by the size of your mind.
2. You don't accuse clearly corrupt biz men, politicians, entertainers who enjoy your definition of luxury, but you would accuse a child of God who is landlord on Earth readily.

Even you need a private jet. Your mind hasn't just conceived it yet.

tiwiex:
It's like this whole church thing is about wealth. Don't seem to hear anything else.

Yes o, because it's with great wealth we can fulfill the great commission of going into the world and preaching the Gospel to all people, making disciples of them.

We need the wealth to take ownership of the media, aviation and other sectors that are critical to spreading the gospel

Niseamaka:
Point of correction:”the wealth they will see among (PASTORS) is unprecedented”. Pastors live in stupendous affluence while believers go hungry.

We are one body. We connect with our seeds and our confession. If it's happening to one, then it can happen to all. Believe my brother, and receive

PrecisionFx:
None of ur believers is richer than unbelievers like Bill gates, Jack Ma, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, Dangote, Warren Buffet, etc. The list is endless.

So why are you angry that believers are owning jets. If you think it's ordinary go and open a church.

Even some of the folks you mentioned Christians or not, are major givers to a lot of ministries. They know the principles, you don't. Learn!

Thinking of the next pastor to attack. This 2018, their chest go pain them because, the wealth they'll see among believers is unprecedented

Real Gucci Pastor. I love you sir

Happy Birthday Pastor Biodun
I Love, honor and Celebrate You

Buhari is Mugabe. He must go

If an individual has a capacity to employ 50, 000 direct employees and almost 500,000 indirectly. He should be given a chance to replicate the same system using government machinery

sonofluc1fer:
They say knowledge is wisdom, knowledge is light. A little research, a little reading, a little digging would have done a lot to your vision. It's the reason why you fail to see the difference between a JET and a CAR.

Private also implies 'personal' use. Are you admitting that these private jets are purchased by the churches to cater to the personal need of the CEO aka Man of God?

Yes

Evil people. You only want to see Nigeria fail to justify your hatred for an individual.

Good morning friends.

This is a simple suggestion to the Federal Government of Nigeria on how best to handle nnamdi kanu, leader of ipob, after a first failed attempt.

1. Demystification
It wasn't attempted initially, however fate has presented another opportunity to get it right.

Kanu should not just be rearrested. Kanu should be both arrested alongside some of his simplest supporters. The ones who can best be described as illiterate okada and Keke riders. When this is done, he should be paraded with these folks in cuffs on singlet and boxers live on national TV.

After assuming the position of king and god, I can assure you that this is going to break him and his followers.
Afterwards every news or broadcast to be made about IPOB should have that picture as the brand for the group.

2. Divide and rule

Simplest strategy of them all. Recruit a loyal and popular leader, say someone like the head of the bss, or raise another prominent figure ( through IPOB inspired musical entertainment) in whom the people can repose a form of trust and hope. When he gets to his peak, let him disagree with the current leadership and tussle for power with no intention of forming a new group. Rather opting to stay within the canopy of IPOB and have it leak from within.

3. Give the folks the REFERENDUM they so desire! It's really not by force to remain a part of the country. If they're dissatisfied and you can't satisfy them, then give them what they want.

However this shouldn't come under any form of talks with kanu. Get the dude(kanu) arrested, put him in a state of zero contact with the outside world, and identify a young and relatively unknown lady to lead the talks with the FG on how the REFERENDUM should be carried out.

4. Educate the folks who do not yet know that based on The 1982 UN Convention on Law of The Sea. Our Offshore Oil Wells Automatically Become Disputed Territory once we Have Biafra and Niger Delta Republic?

My submission folks.

True.
