As the national protest against bad government gains momentum, here is my final submission on what Nigerians must demand and push…. I will list the demands that must be made below by Nigerians based on order of importance….
AGENDA 1 - Remove Tinubu as president either through willful resignation or forced impeachment, followed by a total dissolution of the current government and a caretaker interim government setup with a mandate of 2 years to implement the points listed below.
AGENDA 2 - Stabilize the economy by implementing immediate reversal of fuel subsidy removal and floating of the Naira policies implemented by current government. Establish corrupt free fuel subsidy scheme, reverse sale of NNPC, sack current NNPC management and revive one national refinery (Port Harcourt refinery) within 5 months period.
AGENDA 3 - Pay Nigerian workers a minimum wage that reflects economic realities to boost Nigerians purchasing power and revitalize the economy….
AGENDA 4 - Overhaul the 1999 constitution or replace it with a people-backed constitution through a sovereign national conference followed by a national referendum
AGENDA 5 - Restructuring of Nigeria to accommodate Nigeria’s diversity, resource control, decentralization and regional development
AGENDA 6 - Scrap the senate arm of the Nigerian legislative system and make legislative job a part-time endeavor
AGENDA 7 - Invest heavily in education and give Nigerian students grants, not loans. Pursue aggressively free and compulsory education for children across Nigeria
AGENDA 8 - Release Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally and demilitarize the south east. Release unconditionally all Endsars and human rights activists political detainees
AGENDA 9 - Sack current military and security officials benefiting from widespread insecurity and terrorism across Nigeria
AGENDA 10 - Empower anti-graft agencies to investigate and prosecute corrupt judges that have denied and continue to deny Nigerians access to justice
AGENDA 11 - Probe past and present Nigerian leaders who have looted the treasury, recover their loots and deposit it in special account to be used to fund education, healthcare and infrastructure
AGENDA 12 - Sack current INEC chairman Mahmoud, reconstitute the Nigerian electoral body INEC to remove corrupt individuals and partisan backed operatives appointed to manipulate elections. Establish diaspora voting rights for Nigerians outside the country
Once the electoral reforms and all other reforms listed above are done by the interim government within 2 years, a free and fair election should be conducted to usher in a new Nigeria founded on justice, equity and fairness….
If Nigerians must protest, this is what I believe Nigerians should protest and agitate for…. This is what must be done now to salvage the country before it is too late….
shortgun: HOW THE OONI OF IFE, ADEYEYE ENITAN BABATUNDE OGUNWUSI, SCAMMED AN INNOCENT NIGERIAN, AND A DAUGHTER OF OSUN STATE, THE SUM OF $180,000 US DOLLARS IN INVESTMENT, PROPERTY AND ROMANCE SCAM.
Follow this story, it will be a very long read for six weeks, with lots of facts and evidence. I will be sharing receipts with @DavidHundeyin @fisayosoyombo @SamuelOgundipe @jacksonpbn @Mazi_OJD @UnlimitedEniola, different bloggers and media houses. The victim will do series of video explanations, that i will post. She will also speak live on X (Twitter) space for the whole world to listen. Other avenues are currently being explored in the US on this case. (Enough is Enough)
THE STORY.
A Nigerian Doctor who has spent 16 years in the US practicing, wanted to give back to her father land, despite the fact that she is a full-fledged US citizen. She is from Osun state, Ile-Ife to be precise. Her life dream was to set up hospitals across Nigeria, where she can render free medical services, starting from her own state of Osun. But in order to introduce herself to her people, and to also gain their trust and confidence, she decided to organize free medical service for women and children of IIe-Ife, by coming from the US, with a team of doctors to treat different illness in Ile-ife. From there she will proceed to set up the hospital in the town. But as someone who has left for so long, she don't know how to go about it. She needed the help and direction of someone who is on ground. On inquiry, they told her the Ooni of Ife, is the best person to contact for her project. That one, he is young, and he has got great influence. That he will easily key into her dreams, since it will be beneficial to his people and his Kingdom at large. She got the direct Facebook account of the Ooni, and messaged him. She introduced herself, then told the Ooni her reason for reaching out to him. Few hours later, Kabiyesi replied, and called her video call live from the palace. He said he wanted to be sure, he is speaking with the right person. They had a lengthy conversation, he prayed and blessed her. Kabiyesi told her he loves her dreams, and will be giving her all the needed support. That she should set up the hospital along the Lagos Ibadan axis, where there are frequent accidents every now and then. That there are no good hospitals around, so such idea of her's will be a fantastic one. That she should could even set up an helipad in her hospital, so emergency cases from other states can be airlifted directly into her hospital. That he will help her to facilitate it. She was so happy with the wonderful additions of Ooni. Moreover no one disrespects, doubts or suspects a Kabiyesi. So the doctor believed and swallowed everything from Kabiyesi hook line and sinker, without an atom of doubt.
Kabiyesi now took advantage of that to start his series of scamming sprees, that i will be posting evidence one after the other. From private messages, to bank accounts of the proxies he uses, to Forged documents, to receipts of transfers, to recorded private audio calls, to series of threats, and failed promises. Even very dark private damning information. I will also tell you how this woman used all the legitimate available avenues in Nigeria to get back her money, but they all killed the case.
Kabiyesi asked her to send money in order to begin the process. He gave her bank accounts of his proxies in the US, and that of Nigeria. The doctor started sending money to his pickers in the US, and in Nigeria. She was doing direct wire transfer left, right and centre. The +++ was working perfectly on her, as she kept paying. I have all the accounts she did payments to, and the corresponding message from Kabiyesi. I will post them. Remember, while making all these payments, this Doctor has not visited Nigeria for once. She solely believed Kabiyesi and trusted his words.
My little advice for the investigative journalist is to remove his hand let law enforcement do investigation, if you rubbish Ooni online , whatever you see you take.
Ooni is not that man you are seeing, is the crown (aare) , if they use it swear for someone, 10,000 World pastors cannot conduct the deliverance because it doesn't fight without a course.
All these gen - z hailing you will not be there when the curse start manifesting.
Judolisco: We don't need it.... People dey suffer una dey talk about twitter.... Thunder fire una
Carry your suffer head and leave nairaland for people to deliberate, when fathers were working hard , what was your father doing that he can't show you the path to prosperity, like father like son.
People are still building houses, buying cars and they are doing legitimate business, yardwork , highly skilled.
You don't have sense but you want to eat , your suffer is just starting.
Tellmeastory: The FG must name something big in this country after the legendary Professor Chinua Achebe.
I am a great fan and reader of Wole Soyinka, by the way, so this is not based on any beef with the great Nobel-winning writer, who certainly earned the right to have the National Theatre named after him by President Tinubu.
But we must not put Chinua Achebe, the Booker Prize winning author of Africa’s greatest novel, Things Fall Apart, in the position of the proverbial lizard of his great book who fell from the tall iroko tree, and promised to praise himself if no one else did.
That book is Required Reading in the curricula of schools all over the world, from Kenya to the USA.
It has been translated into over 100 languages worldwide, and remains till date, the biggest selling novel by an African, bringing great honour to Nigeria.
Achebe was also an erudite advocate for good governance and govt accountability.
According to wiki
“Chinua Achebe…. was a Nigerian novelist, poet, and critic who is regarded as a central figure of modern African literature. His first novel and magnum opus, Things Fall Apart (1958), occupies a pivotal place in African literature and remains the most widely studied, translated, and read African novel.
Along with Things Fall Apart, his No Longer at Ease (1960) and Arrow of God (1964) complete the "African Trilogy".
Later novels include A Man of the People (1966) and Anthills of the Savannah (1987).
In the West, Achebe is often referred to as the "father of African literature", although he vigorously rejected the characterization.“
websta: Hello men, Please, help me out. My relationship is about to fall as I'm a 2 mins man and my girl is complaining and extremely annoyed. Pls what can I do last longer? How do I last longer? I love my babe and I want to be able to knack her well. I'm so disappointed in myself.
Melagros: COMRADES, this is one of the reasons why Nigeria is suffering from acute hunger. Imagine a village is surrounded by these guys, how can the villagers go to farm? Even the Emirates must succumb to their dictate for peace to reign
The federal government is not doing enough in its fight against insecurity, you keep treating these guys with kids gloves, a day is coming that these guys will make an effort to takeover the affairs of the government as in the case of Sudan and other countries
Sometimes I shake my head in disbelief when some Internet users say; insecurity is a nothern headache, Niger Delta militancy was a Nigerian problem, UGM is a Nigerian problem, Oduduwa Republic Fight is a Nigerian problem, Banditry and Bokoharam are also a Nigerian problem, insecurity is an ill-wind that does no good to anyone. For instance, if these guys successfully takeover the government, if our political elites emigrate; what will be the fate of a common man left behind?
Last last, we go say, may God save us!
The problem with you is that you lack sense, bandit cannot and will not take over Nigeria government.
Stop comparing Kenya to Nigeria, when the kind of suffering that hit Kenya God forbid hit Nigerians no one needs to encourage anyone to hit the streets.
Nigeria is still a rich country, that is why nationwide protest cannot work now.
A dude just completed his 5 bedroom duplex in my estate and see how his friends came with eyes catching fine cars ....money dey where he dey , if you never make am continue to huzzle ,stop waiting for government help.
The same people that accused Jonathan government of corruption, I remember attending a press briefing in 2015 before election in Sheraton hotels in Abuja. El rufai was shouting,," if you don't kill corruption, corruption will kill the country.
FUTURE4202: I do not think Nigeria will ever move forward, i reason is the level of tribalism ND hatred different tribes has for each other.
For a country to move forward it's essential for it's citizens to unite(putting their tribes ND religions behind) for the betterment of the nation. In the case of Nigeria it's a different thing entirely. People are suffering, of wch we all know that 100%(including the rich ND poor) knows dis, but instead of looking for a way forward like other countries do some people still support ND praise the bad ND wicked govt out of tribalism.
So becoz he is ur tribal man(be it Igbo, Yoruba, hausa, or even another tribe) we should suffer abi? Instead of saying the true as it's so we can collaborate together ND put an end to dis nonsense govt some idiots(we have many of dem here) we come online to support ND back their rubbish govt all becoz of tribalism. Funny thing is dat most of dem are seriously suffering but will keep defending rubbish.
I didn't vote in the last election ND never supported any body or party, dis is becoz i knew very well dat it will be a waste of time as par dey already know who go enter the office.
But if i was to vote i would have voted obi not becoz i am igbo or even anyway close to being one.But base on popular demand ND most importantly just to give a try, but when tinubu won i just ascepted it even though it was very clear dat he ND inec rigged the election, thinking maybe he will do perfect ND restore Nigeria, becoz i wasn't too sure about obi myself(i just cannot trust Nigeria politicians) talk less of seeing one as a savior.
But since tinubu got into office it has been all bad, no hope, ND i wonder why we are still gentle on that. But then i remember tribalism, i saw a big reason Nigeria can never move forward.
Like i said earlier, i never had a candidate ND did not till now i just wan a govt dat i move this nation to it promise land. I don't care where the government is coming from(in terms of tribes) if my tribal man get to power ND misbehave i will proudly come out ND shame him(if i have the opportunity to even end his life i will) as pal the suffering he is putting a million of people.
If Nigerians can put tribe, religion, ND all barrels aside, come together as one nation ND demand for a change consistently ND unshaked i assure we will get there i no time. I am ready to volunteer anytime, anyday, for the freedom of this nation citizens. But i must see a readiness spirit from my fellow Nigerians. Wole Soyinka once said ND i quote "the man dies in all who keep silent in the face of tyranny"
Tribalism is the political weapon our wicked politicians ND govt use in silencing ND binding us in Nigeria(and i must say our religious leaders are not helping matters at all in terms of togetherness against tribalism.)
Until tribalism ND religions are put aside Nigeria will or may never see the light.
God help Nigeria ND Nigerians 🙏.
You didn't vote in the last election, you don't have a right to complain. You fail to perform your civic right.
Bello goofed big time , his political career is gone. The likes of Orji Kalu , Goje ,they went to prison and are now senators what is the big deal there
