you are a big fooool

This hate you have for Nigerians is shocking.
Men, women, mothers, fathers, old people are celebrating in Oyo State and you are hating on them.
Why? Why do hate Nigerians so much?

Great point. We are often led by morons. A propaganda war across west africa by Nigeria is enough to make France pack their bags and leave for Paris. But I also sense that these Francophone countries leaders would willingly sell themselves to France rather than remain under the economic domination of another African country, Nigeria. The black man is weak minded. I suppose if the leaders in these Francophone countries are women, the story will be different.

It depends on how you frame the propaganda. The black man everywhere, Nigeria inclusive, is likely to sell himself/herself to the white man because we are conditioned to believe that white is right; white is better; black is inferior. However, when you frame the narrative around France's destructive colonial and post-colonial invasions of Africa, about how France ensures that she dominates the black man, Francophone Africa will begin to think. Recently, Dr Arikana Chihombori-Quao the Permanent Representative of the African Union Mission to the United States was removed through the influence of France via their assets in the AU. I am not sure that Francophone Africans, the ordinary citizens, are aware that this brave woman was removed because she used her voice in demanding France stops its neocolonial order in Africa. Tell the Francophone citizens this and they will begin to see France in different lights.

France's current military intervention in Mali and Central African Republic are sustained on propaganda. Nigeria needs to own the narrative and not allow a foriegn invader do so.

Nigeria led by a serious President would have sorted out France's excesses easily as we have (1) the geographical advantage and (2) the advantage of being blacks too.

France is part of the foriegn interests fueling and sustaining Boko Haram in Nigeria's Northern region. They have pursued an aggressive anti-Nigeria colonialist stand since Nigeria was invited and succeded in dislodging terrorists from West African Mali under the previous GEJ government. It was rumoured that it shocked France to the marrows as they were expecting Mali to ask France to provide military support.

Unfortunately, Nigeria is saddled with a regime that does not understand geopolitics and is more focused on dividing its citizens across tribes. Else, dealing with France's influence in West Africa is easy as Nigeria. Just correctly demonise the French as white colonialists and remind West Africans of what they did to Sankara, etc. There is no reason why, like in East and Southern Africa, Nollywood films aren't filling the TV screens in our Francophone neighbours. This is what is called "soft power" in international relations studies. Win the battle of the heart and mind and others will follow.

"they can’t claim to be marginalised; after all by extension, Jonathan is from South-East as his name is also Azikiwe. The fact that he adopted Edwin Clark as his father does not make him a complete Ijaw man. "

This is the new narrative they want to push to counter any challenge for Igbo Presidency.
1. That Jonathan, a full-fledged Ijaw man from Bayelsa is actually from the South East. (Notice that he does not give the state this South Eastern Jonathan is from)
2. That Jonathan was adopted by Edwin Clarke in order to pretend that he is an Ijaw man.
3. That Jonathan, whose parents named him Azikiwe after Nnamdi Azikiwe, was actually named Azikiwe because he is from the South East.

I suspect this false, denigrating, insulting downright silly propaganda must have come from Nasir El Rufai's team. They are excellent with manufacturing falsehoods. And pushing it as "truth". But this time around, Nigerians are prepared and waiting for them.

That boy will remain scarred with that memory for life. Such a brave father! That's the kind of man I want. Brave, fearless and courageous to shield me from the dangers of the world.

That's one reason I hate Australia. Too many snakes. I don't think killing that snake was the best idea, though. Snakes will soon go extinct if they're being killed this way. Let's save the snakes.

Sure, he should let the snake who tried to attack and eat his son thrice, eat its meal and go back to the bushes because of wildlife protection.

What was the stupid man thinking?
You are a genius. Take a bow

Members of the ‘cabal’ in the presidency are not hungry individuals and do not deserve the public criticism they get, a presidential aide has said.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, also said it was improper to refer to the president’s advisers as a ‘cabal’ and it is not true that they influence critical decisions of the Muhammadu Buhari administration.

Mr Shehu made this known while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today, on Christmas day.

Many Nigerians including the First Lady, Aisha Buhari, have said that there is a cabal of people who influence decisions taken by Mr Buhari and the presidency.

The men said to be members of the cabal include a relative of the president, Mamman Daura; an associate of the president, Isa Funtua; and the Chief of Staff to the president, Abba Kyari.

Mrs Buhari has at several instances accused the men of controlling her husband.

She also recently accused Mr Shehu of receiving instructions from the cabal to the detriment of her husband and his immediate family. She asked him to resign or be relieved of his position.

Mr Shehu has refused to join words with the first lady but on Wednesday denied that the cabal members have a sinister motive.

He said contrary to the false belief that the cabal manipulates the president, ”they are respectable Nigerians who deserve respect because they have achieved a lot.”

“A lot of people who are being dragged into this cabal thing, they are respectable Nigerians who have achieved a lot for themselves and for the nation. They are not there as hungry people who are there to grab things for themselves,” he said.

He also said Nigerians should not brand persons close to President Buhari who have offered to serve the nation as members of a ‘cabal.’

“Nigerians have formed the practice by labeling people that are in some advisable positions of the president as a cabal.

“People (cabals) should not be labelled negatively simply because they have offered themselves to support the president of this country,” he said.

Oya, screen-grab this one too and run to Jabi. Your N5000 will not pass you by . Amen.

ColonelEmeka:
This era of hate speech and fake news is a very serious issue. He made a definite claim with his initial comment and is now trying to claim it was quoted out of context and was said out of mere suspicion

The government should hurry up and pass the bill. I have had enough of this hate speeches which are mostly false and targeted at a cross section of the country

BMC, Merry Christmas.
You have gotten up to 10 likes for your silly statement above. You can now screen grab it and get your N5,000 from the BMC headquarters in Jabi.

The Presidency has condemned some international news outlets ascribing the detention and release of the Convener of Revolution Now, Omoyele Sowore, to journalism.

Malam Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, said Sowore was detained and later released on bail today by the Department of State Service (DSS) not due to his work as a journalist but because he called for a revolution to overthrow the democratically elected government of Nigeria.

Shehu made the clarification in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday.

The presidential aide, therefore, frowned at those ascribing his detention and release to his job as a journalist.

The statement read in part: “The Presidency wishes to clarify the release on bail of the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress in the February 2019 elections, Omowale Sowore

“Some international news outlets have mistakenly been describing his release as that of a journalist.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Buhari administration has never, since coming into office in 2015, detained a journalist, seized copies of newspapers or shut down a medium of information.

“Sowore called for a revolution to overthrow the democratically elected government of Nigeria. He did so on television, and from a privileged position as the owner of a widely read digital newspaper run from the United States of America.

“He founded an organisation, Revolution Now, to launch, in their own words, “Days of Rage”, with the publicised purpose of fomenting mass civil unrest and the elected administration’s overthrow.

“No government will allow anybody to openly call for destabilization in the country and do nothing.

“The government believes strictly in observing the rule of law but must safeguard public security and will not allow trouble makers to incite the public and cause a breakdown of law and order.’’

Also, the presidential aide disclosed that Federal Government may appeal against the court judgments that granted bails to the former National Security Adviser, retired Col. Sambo Dasuki and Convener of #RevolutionNow, Omoyele Sowore.

Malam Garba Shehu stated this in an interview with newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday while reacting to the presidential directive on the release of Dasuki and Sowore.

He said that the decision by the Nigerian government to release the affected persons on bail was informed by the need to observe the rules of the law.

“Not withstanding the right of the government which are very clear to it under the constitution of Nigeria to appeal this order for their release, to the Court of Appeal in fact to follow the entire judicial process leading up to the Supreme Court.

“The government has decided, as an important lesson, that compliance to the rule of law of the court of the land is important, government is asking them to go, is releasing them.

“The processes of their trials will continue and the government will be using the same process to assert its right also appealing the terms and conditions under which the court said they should be released.

“However, the President wants an important lesson to be taught in the country – this is that – `we will obey the order and they will be let go and the processes will go.”

Foolish Major General. Go and re-arrest him na. Yeye people. America coughs and you lots shake.

Temple1288:
Have you heard of using a country as a battlefield or poisoning citizens just to take off a Leader of Third World countries?

If they discuss your matter in DC, you'd know how wicked America is.. I won't say much!
Enjoy your Christmas Eve

I think he knows.
But he is loudly pretending to himself. That is how this people think.

jahsharon:
Buhari is a Major General, he fought the Civil War for 30 months. He fought the Chadian rebels during Shagari regime. Noises from Biafrans cannot heat him up. He has been begged by some well menaing Nigerians, that is why he let the two idiots go home for Xmas, if they mess up, they will back to prison before New Year.

This is where the "noise" came from.
We can pretend about it if we want to. But I am sure we all know

You see that Sowore? His arrest and illegal incarceration will eventually be the undoing on Beau Harry.
History has shown that regimes end this way.

XINOIX:
Yeah well for some of us that still have faith in this government we believe they would be released

After keeping Dasuki under illegal house arrest for years after the courts had ordered his release.

After keeping Sowore in detention for months after he had met his bail conditions.

This regime is feeling the heat taken by some now converted members of the media and millions of Nigerians. He will still remain Major General Buhari and this administration will continually be referred to as a regime

It is only a regime that ORDERS the release of civilians that have been declared freed on legal bail terms by the Courts. Sadly, they and their apologists can’t see the irony!


Nigerians should thank the US for their pressure. Without it, those two Nigerians would still be in jail.
Meanwhile, where is that funny Buharist that kept on insisting that Beau Harry will ignore the US? You guys need to stay of NL and go and read books on geopolitics. There are limits to strong-head. As it stands, countries in the Global South are still vassal states to neocolonialists. Sadly, but that is how the world works. We can pretend about this, but hey, we know this is a simple fact. Beau Harry is lucky that Sowore didnt die in custody. Else

jlinkd78:
Good. Truly d beating by d Fulani foot soldiers has reset d brain of Adeyanju.

I actually wished it was a converted Buharist that those Almajiri beat and not Deji. Deji has been an avowed hater of tyranny and was never a “Change” 2015 advocate. He didn’t deserve all that.

I hope he gets better x

MoIbrahim:
Constantly using the word "ogbeni" won't ever change the shape of your head

Ogbeni respond to Kperogi jare

If you can’t, we understand. But drag him. I didn’t write the article and honestly, I don’t know Kperogi to stand in for him

MoIbrahim:
Your problem is clear. Anyone that seems to play a tune you love you try to force it into rhyming with your deep seated bigotry; Atiku, Kperogi, FFK etc. Just anyone. You even forget their own ethnicity too. Just the way that you forget that Atiku is Fulani everyday. I pity you.

2023, your general hatred shall give you an ally

Ogbeni respond to Kperogi and stop this stylish deflection jare

MoIbrahim:
This your rant and insults are not about Kperogi, but about you and your deep seated hate. Be bold enough to tell yourself the truth. Dont hide behind him. Okay?

Ogbeni respond to Kperogi so we can read your response. Stop this cowardice.

Your deep-seated hate of the Igbo man whom you chose to respond to, despite not receiving a mention on Kperogi’s article, is what brought me here as I found it, as many did, ridiculous, diversionary, inane and downright silly.

Or does Kperogi have some Igbo lineage that we don’t know of?
I don’t care about Kperogi or his article. Or even the persons he wrote about; they don’t feed me. I’m concerned about your hate of a people unconnected to his article. I’m sure your friends and does who are close to you, if they are honest, are concerned too. You need help. And fast. Before you divert to talking about Ijaw or Trump or Putin instead of facing Kperogi.

MoIbrahim:
Me, bloody coward? You nko?
Anyway, we know the shape of your head.

Ogbeni respond to Professor Kperogi abeg!

If you can’t, no wahala. We understand. Bloody coward.

Damn right, he isn't my darling and model president any more.

Next question . . .

RoyalUc:


Would you mind posting a few of my previous posts out of the over 1,400 of them that clearly prove I am a Buharist?

I've been on this forum for a little while and I can confidently say we are only a few who are on the path of truth.
Majority of you are either 'Buharist' like you call them or haters or wailers like they call you.

Truth is, haters give me heartache. That's why I stayed away from this forum for a while.

Ok.

RoyalUc:
Alright, I agree with you.

Now, based on your research interests in international relations and geopolitics, what is your unbiased opinion on the US statement?

I have said I do not engage with Buharists.
Which, from your over 1,400 posts, I have noticed that you are.
It is very hard to engage with people wired with an inflexible, preconcieved mindset.

RoyalUc:
I care less about APC, not to even mention PDP. I care about Nigeria.

I believe in diplomacy and peaceful dialogues (that's why I don't like people like NK, FFK, Reno, Fayose, Wike), but I don't subscribe to being subservient to anyone for fear of sanctions not to talk of opposing my country in support of a country who only cares for what they stand to benefit.

If my statement projected subservience, I wouldnt write, "which we deeply regret".
You see, amongst my research interests, is international relations and geopolitics. Pre-colonial and postcolonial thought streams. If you want to condemn a stance of a foriegn country, you state, "we deeply regret" not "we condemn....". Not the kind of bullish, emotions-ridden kindagartten statements made by Adeshina to excite an emotive, unthinking base.

And I have gone through your previous posts my dear sir. They are over 1,400 of them.
It is clear that you are a Buharist. Which if I were you, I would be very proud of. No wonder, you left out El-Rufai in that your list of names. What has Fayose said that El Rufai or Lai Mohammed not said- and even worse?

Anyway, enjoy your day. I try not to engage with Buharists. They can cause headache

RoyalUc:
"...That there’s something called “greater good” and “diplomacy”".

Now tell me, what's the diplomatic way of handling US that has predicted and are doing everything to bring their prediction to pass? What is the diplomatic way of handling this particular comment from the US? In all sincerity, is there religious intolerance in Nigeria? A place where people had always said are too religious?


"...When the US imposes sanctions on Nigeria..."
Impose sanctions on Nigeria on what grounds? You actually believe Nigeria will go into extinction when US withdraws from what ever relations we have with them?

Let me tell you one way of responding with respect to international relations

"We have seen the comments and the designation by the United States which we deeply regret. As allies we will continue to work with the United States and indeed other countries in fostering peace in Nigeria and indeed Sub-Saharan Africa..."

Simple. Measured. Diplomatic. Not going by the same way Saddam and the rest did which we all knew how it end. Will anyone drop down dead if a diplomatic response is made when asked the question? Sadly, with politics in Nigeria today, most people think in binaries- APC and PDP. Hence all these either emotional or mocking response.

RoyalUc:
I think you are the one thinking through and with your emotions.

lol.
When the US imposes sanctions on Nigeria and inflation rises to Venezuelan and Iran levels you will understand that it is not every problem you solve with a hammer.
That there’s something called “greater good” and “diplomacy”.

RoyalUc:
You clearly have complex issues...

You clearly think through and with your emotions.

ManirBK:
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/369486-alleged-religious-persecution-presidency-tackles-u-s-says-no-one-appointed-america-world-police.html?

Lol accusing the US of acting as a “World Police”, while it’s true, doesn’t ever, ever end well.

Libya. Iraq. Syria. Bolivia. Venezuela. Nigeria?
You would expect the educated ones in Beau Harry’s regime to be sensible but no, they are illogical as the certificate-less one.

This is not APC or PDP matter. Anyone with a fleeting understanding of geopolitics will caution the Buhari regime not to bite more than it can chew.

Forget bravado. You. Cannot. Stand. Or. Challenge. America. The Dems and Republicans are always united with it comes to the foreign policy of regime change and toppling regimes. Bolivia that they have just recently toppled, continually challenged them in the United Nations through Sacha Llorenty. While the world was watching Venezuela and Iran the State Department helped effect a coup and removed Evo Morales. Today there is chaos in Bolivia and they dont care.

Forget the Bravado. With the US you have to be sensible and strategic and ignore emotions if you want to last long in goverment.

MoIbrahim:
It shows in the way you twist another man's write up to suit your narrative

Lol.
I have asked you to respond to the writer.
You have refused to.
You find it easier to drag others who dont even receive a mention in the article.
Yesterday it is Igbos; today it may be Igalas; next tomorrow, Ijaw. Or even Trump!
Bloody coward.

You obviously don't know much about Nigerian Politics.



Farooq Kperogi is from Okuta, Kwara State.

The Hausa-Fulani don't regard Kwara Indigenes as part of them.
