Time for Nigeria to stand against police brutality time to occupy every governor OFFICES and police headquarters all over Nigeria
Time to tell them that power belong to the people
Time to send a message to buhari that he can not kill all Nigeria like leki toll gate
Time to Nigeria to be free from vampire call police
You have to stand up and fight for your right as a Nigeria or die in police custody for doing nothing
Police is killing innocent people every day and the authority are doing nothing about it.
If all of you in Nigeria should stand up and speak with one voice that madness will stop
Many people are in police custody for doing nothing because is not your family you don't fill concern about it but you forget one day it will come to you and no one will fill concern about it
Many people are in pain for doing nothing some of them is dead and their families are not aware of their deaths
Did you what some por family are passing through every day because they don't have the money to take out their families members our of police station.
The worst of it is police will keep you in their detention for many years as they want they don't even care to take you to Curt of law
The monster will tell you in your face that he will west you and nothing will happen If Nigeria is a country that police officer will go to jail for that
If you don't stand up it may be you tomorrow it may be your family or friends They will kill and nothing will happen
Buhari will protect them . You must stop that madness.
I come in peace . |

Salisu19: I’m Not Pregnant – Aisha Buhari Debunks Pregnancy RumourPublished 8 hours ago on December 21, 2021By Adeola Ajayi
Media aide to first lady Aisha Buhari, Sulaiman Haruna, has dismissed reports that the first lady is pregnant.
Recall that on Monday, December 20, social media was agog with speculations that Mrs. Buhari might be expecting another baby after some photos of her returning to the country with her husband from Turkey surfaced online.
Some alleged that she might be sick causing her to have a bloated stomach.
However, in a chat with BBC Pidgin, Haruna denied the claims about the first lady being pregnant or sick.
“I can assure you 100 percent that our first lady is perfectly okay. She is neither sick nor pregnant as some reports claim. Some of these reports are from mischief makers who don’t mean well. You know, nowadays, people can tamper with photos.”he said.
Meanwhile, the First lady has ordered all staff to go on leave till further notice. She however said Official engagements and work can also continue virtually as it was done previously while thanking all staff for their commitment and hard work and wish all a happy festive period ahead. some people in the presidency poison her they think she knows too much She was lucky to be alive But they will still come for her she better run away 3 Likes 1 Share |

NGArmyTerrorist: Nigerian first lady Aisha Buhari’s new pictures are fuelling pregnancy rumour across the country, with Nigerians wondering if she is actually expecting a baby.
In one of the photos seen by Peoples Gazette, Mrs Buhari, alongside her husband, President Muhamadu Buhari, was surrounded by security officials, with one of them carrying her handbags.
In a yellow lace kaftan and a black shawl draped over what appeared like a baby bump, 50-year-old Mrs Buhari tenderly placed her right hand on it.
Another image showed the first couple seated in a plane. A zoom-in on Mrs Buhari shows a full face like that of a pregnant woman, different from her usual robust youthful visage.
A third picture showed the couple on the plane’s stairs, with an apparent baby bump as the first lady gently stepped down the flight of stairs.

A third picture showed the couple on the plane’s stairs, with an apparent baby bump as the first lady gently stepped down the flight of stairs.
“Is Aisha Buhari pregnant or what is in her stomach,” a curious Twitter user @Promise, said.
Another Twitter user, @Solowizzy also commented on the photos, stating, “Nigerians, what do you think about this pictures? Aisha Buhari is obviously pregnant.”
In a hilarious tweet, @Alamin97296003 congratulated 79-year-old Mr Buhari for his “hard work.”
“Aisha Buhari is pregnant. Baba Buhari a hard worker,” the Twitter user stated.
If pregnant, Mrs Buhari, already a grandmother, will be the first president’s wife known to be pregnant while her husband is in power and will likely be the first to give birth in the Presidential Villa.
It is also expected that Mr Buhari’s supporters will that as a political point that the incumbent president is virile despite being assailed by ill health over the years since assuming power in 2015.
The photos were taken following the first couple’s arrival from Turkey.
Mrs Buhari’s spokesperson, Suleiman Haruna, did not respond when The Gazette contacted him for comments regarding the pregnancy rumour surrounding the first lady’s latest pictures.

Politics / Re: I Will Handover To A Successor And Return To My Farm In 2023 – Buhari by madmohamed(m): 4:05pm On Dec 17, 2021 |
Abujason: President President Muhammadu Buhari has assured that he will hand over to a successor at the end of 2023 general elections and return to his farm.
He gave the assurance in Istanbul, Turkey, where he is to participated in the 3rd Turkey-Africa Partnership Summit, hosted by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of the Republic of Turkey,
According to a statement by Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari cut his 79th birthday cake moulded in national colours, green-white-green to start the day, before going on to chair a planning meeting with officials in his delegation and thereafter drove to the Dolmabahce Palace for a meeting with his Turkish counterpart, Erdogan.
The Presidential media aide, said in response to the tribute on the occasion on behalf of the ministers and the rest of the delegation rendered by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, Buhari said he will put in his best for Nigeria until the last day when, in 2023 he hands over to a successor and returns to his farm to tender crops and livestock.
“I thought that being away from Abuja I will escape these things. The Guards Brigade had written to tell me what they wanted to do on this day. Now here you are doing this far away from home.
I look forward to the year 2023 when I will finish, to go home to take charge of my farm. Between now and that time, I will do the best that is possible to advance the interest of the nation and its people, and carry out my duties as prescribed by the Constitution,” he said.
“As he stepped out of his suite moving to the meeting room, President Buhari met a surprise lineup of the Nigerian delegation with a cake decorated in Nigeria’s national colours.
“The group broke into a chorus, as they began chanting “Happy Birthday, Mr. President.”
The Minister of Foreign Affairs who spoke on behalf of the delegation and the Ambassador of Nigeria to Turkey, Ismail Yusuf Abba, congratulated the President on the good work he is doing for the country, and wished him a happy birthday, many healthy years ahead and the energy to give his best to the nation.
Onyeama noted in particular that the President continues to have a good run with his health, getting better and more active with time.
Meanwhile, President Buhari has said in furtherance of sustained efforts at keeping Nigerians safer, the country will partner with Turkey in dealing with the current security challenges facing the nation.
Speaking at a bilateral meeting with Erdogan, his Turkish counterpart shortly before the official commencement of the 3rd Turkey-Africa Partnership Summit in Istanbul, the President acknowledged that Turkey had garnered a lot of experience dealing with security challenges of various kinds and Nigeria will latch onto that experience.
He said: “Turkey has practical experience dealing with challenges over the years and Nigeria stands to gain from that.”
Giving assurances that the relationship between the two states will continue to grow for the mutual benefits of both countries, President Buhari said he was pleased with the Turkish offer of support in the area of security and peace in Nigeria.
“I wish to express my appreciation for the special invitation for this meeting and to express my happiness with your offer of assistance in dealing with the challenges facing us.
“I await the reports of officials and the ministers as they hold meetings with their counterparts. I assure you that I will endorse all their positive recommendations,” Buhari assured Erdogan.
Earlier, the Turkish leader said that he was happy to receive President Buhari shortly after he paid an official visit to Nigeria.
“Turkey understands the challenges facing Nigeria and its needs, and we are ready to assist you to meet those needs especially in the area of defence.
“I am happy Nigeria is stepping up cooperation with other nations in areas of defence and health, and we are ready to cooperate with you on these areas and more,” Erdogan said.
Turkey, which has growing recognition in the world as a military power and had successes to show in Iraq, Syria, Libya and lately Azerbaijan said it welcomed the Nigerian government’s decision to buy naval ships from their shipyard, noting that discussions are ongoing on how to strengthen the capacity of the Defence Industries Corporation (DICON) in Kaduna in line with an agreement signed during President Erdogan’s last State Visit.

VaselineCrew: Have you ever seen a democratically elected president that has majorly avoided the press like Buhari?
Remember during GEJs time when he used to have media chats
Look at how Trump was always answering questions from the media
Even Biden that has a reputation of hiding from the media still takes questions much, much more frequently than Buhari.
Buhari really doesn’t care, as Femi Adesina will say, “It’s not his style”. It’s not the style of Buhari to comfort, console, update... Nigerians.
This guy has bastardized that position so badly.
Now it is an event anytime Buhari wants to speak to the press, every 6 months. He will sit down with his slippers all relaxed while quivering reporters field inane questions.
Even if I don’t totally support Osinbajo as he is also a part of this government, I applaud him for going around and being engaged back then during Buharis absence. This guy even entered toilet of airport like “surprise modafvkers!”. I just wonder why Osinbajo stopped doing all that.
We need that kind of president that is not afraid to enter into “regular” society to see how things are operating. What we have no is a far cry away from that. What we have now, won’t even talk to media, always issuing statements via proxy no matter what happens.
Even when mass killings happen, all you get is a statement.
Remember the famous funny line “There is God ooo”. At least she cared enough to wail to the public and not be completely and utterly silent. Who would have thought we’d be going from bad to “worstestest”?

Politics / Re: Ned Nwoko Accused Of Scamming African Leaders With 'White Elephant Projects' by madmohamed(m): 11:42am On Dec 16, 2021 |
ExAngel007: Ned Nwoko, a former member of the House of Representatives, has been accused of defrauding some African monarchs and leaders through fictitious giant projects he lured them to invest in, according to a report by SaharaReporters.
Nwoko, who represented Aniocha North-South and Oshimili North-South, Delta Statein the House of Representatives between 1999 and 2003 is also involved in a Paris Club deal as he seeks to collect some money from the Nigerian Governors’ Forum.
A source told SaharaReporters that Nwoko is not only subjecting his people in Delta State to destitution by forcibly taking their land, he also uses his political influence to detain those who object to his schemes.
SaharaReporters had published in May how Nwoko ordered Delta State Police Command to arrest Okey Ifejoku, the elected President-General of Idumeje-Ugboko Development Union, in 2017.
The former lawmaker had accused Ifejoku of sponsoring the indigenes of Aniocha North Local Government Area to protest against him and kick against his bid to forcibly acquire additional 90 hectares of land from an area earmarked for all indigenes of the community.
Also, the President of Idumuje-Ugboko in the Aniocha North Local Government Area of the state, Raymond Omesiete has spent months in prison for allegedly resisting Nwoko’s attempt to forcibly acquire additional 90 hectares of land from an area earmarked for all indigenes of the community.
SaharaReporters gathered that Raymond was arrested by the police acting on Nwoko’s directive on November 23, 2020, and was detained at the State Command in Asaba, the capital. Meanwhile, Ned has again been accused of systematically dispossessing his kinsmen of their farmlands.
He was also accused of using his contacts to demonise the King of Idumuje-Ugboko, Obi Chukwunonso Nwoko and stall the issuance of staff of office to him five years after he ascended the throne.
The source said, “Instead, he has financed and propped up a puppet Obi, Prince Solomon Eziokwubundu Nwabuokei, as a parallel Obi who will do his bidding and give him free rein of the land he covets at Idumuje-Ugboko. Ned's support for Solomon is nothing but the sinister machinations of a man who in connivance with the king, is only assuaging his greedy thirst for community land with no stress and then contacting foreign investors who would use the land and pay directly to Ned.
“Our investigation has revealed that this act of criminal subterfuge, if successful, would guarantee the comfort of his future generations.”
Speaking on the alleged atrocities committed by Nwoko outside his hometown, the source said, “He claims he wants to eradicate malaria from Africa and is junketing round the world, visiting kings and presidents to sell his malaria eradication vision.
“Many presidents have unknowingly fallen for this and gone into collaboration with him. He is on the prowl and must be stopped before he sells Nigeria one day.
“How can one man tell us that he wants to embark on the aerial fumigation of Africa using helicopters? Not done, Prince Ned has begun a campaign that he wants to fund the production of a malaria vaccine. Ned is not a scientist and has no knowledge of vaccines. His only interest is to rip off nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).
“Finally, anyone still in doubt, please take a trip to Idumuje-Ugboko community. The town is now a shadow of its former self,” the source added.
About his entanglement with the Nigerian Governors' Forum (NGF), the source said, “The Nigerian Governors' Forum (NGF) has seen through the thick smokescreen of this individual and is determined to prevent Ned Nwoko from further benefiting from the Paris Club refunds to the value of $418 million. The NGF knows that if Prince Ned gets hold of this money he would go on the rampage again and annex all the available lands in Idumuje-Ugboko for more fictitious and even more fictional projects.
“What empowerment activities can he proudly show to the world that he has done for his people? The promise of a Sports University and Golf Course remains a mirage. Grass has overtaken the university site, a situation that tells us the University cannot be realised in our lifetime. Based on the above, it's safe to say that Ned Nwoko has no love for his maternal community; his only interest and greedy desire are to take over all the land of the community to ensure the comfort and prosperity of his future generations."
Calls put across by SaharaReporters to Nwoko were not answered. A text message also sent to his line was not replied to, even at the time of filing this report.

Politics / Re: “How We Replaced Mulikat Adeola With Tambuwal, Akande by madmohamed(m): 1:15pm On Dec 12, 2021 |
Oleys: As president in 2011, Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to ensure South West grabbed the country’s number four seat, including lobbying then opposition leaders from the zone, to no avail.
The North West through Aminu Tambuwal eventually grabbed the seat, supported by South West leaders in opposition to then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Former Governor of Osun State and now statesman, Bisi Akande, made this revelation in his autobiography, “My Participations” which is currently dominating political and national dis- course.
Aminu Tambuwal, now Sokoto State governor, won the seat, against the preferred pick of his party, Mrs Mulikat Adeola Akande, from the South-West.
Defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, then a fledging opposition, which had Akande and his soulmate, former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, as front- line leaders, openly asked its elected members of the House of Representatives, mostly from the South-West, to work against their region and back Tambuwal from North-West.
The opposition party’s support carried Tambuwal through the contest against Akande, then ruling party’s favourite for the speakership seat.
In his book, Akande revealed that former president then as incumbent, personally reached out to Tinubu, who is now believed to be nursing presidential aspiration in 2023 and himself, but couldn’t convince them.
He wrote, “President Jonathan, immediately after the meeting (with political parties), called Bola Tinubu aside into a lobby to broach the matter of ACN support for a choice of who would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
“That same day, President Jonathan talked to me on phone about the same matter. He disclosed that PDP had zoned the position to the South-West but that only one Muraina and another Mulika won elections on PDP ticket from the zone into the House of Representatives.
“I quickly reminded him that, as at (sic) that date in the United States of America, while the Democrats produced the Senate President, the Republicans (the opposition) produced the Speaker of the House of Representatives. I boasted that ACN was capable of suggesting to him ten names of members from the South West from among whom to choose if PDP would be magnanimous enough to practice democracy the way it was being practised in the USA, from where we imported our presidential system.
“He seemed pissed off and stopped the conversation,” he said.
In the era being referenced by the former national chairman of the defunct opposition party, the controlling party in each of the chambers of the Congress in the United States was in the majority, which wasn’t the case with ACN when the Ila-born politician was making his claim.
He also revealed in the book that their political platforms had their sight on working against the then ruling party.
“In the aftermath of the 2011 elections, many of our people were dissatisfied. Under the PDP, our country has become thoroughly decadent. Those of us who saw the then ruling party as an extension of the military corrupt politics preferred to work with all the major opposition parties which would eventually lead to a merger if we were to uproot the entrenched PDP and its evil tendencies. The first party that came to mind was the CPC which like us, was resolutely opposed to the PDP.
“Immediately after the elections, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila led a team of ACN boys to Bola Tinubu and me to suggest support for Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, a PDP member from Sokoto, to become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
In the meantime, President Goodluck Jonathan was pressing for a government of national unity, with a bid of sucking ACN into manipulative extinction.”
Another major revelation from the book is the involvement of a former National Security Adviser and a Sokoto prince, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd) in the presidential project of now President Muhammadu Buhari preparatory to the 2011 presidential election against then incumbent Jonathan.
Jonathan defeated Buhari in the contest, before Buhari triumphed in their replay in 2015.
