OP, you're so wrong in the last paragraph. Nobody can remove the VP who was elected by millions of Nigerians alongside the president.

Onoghen was appointed and NOT elected. We know all the tactics of the fulanis since the day Osinbajo sacked daura on the basis of corruption. He's going nowhere

You underestimate the Fulani hegemonic cabal. Despite all their “successes”

How much about nigeria's political you know

Hahahaha.
More than you think, sir.

laivwire:
This talk is stale please

History is important, Bro. No matter how painful memorialising it is. No history is stale. We should be bold to confront history. Avoiding it is cowardice and detrimental.
Forgetting history is what brought in dictatorial Buhari in the first place. APC weaponsied Nigerians hate and disdain for history and used it, amongst other things, to install Buhari in 2015.

No history is stale.

When are you IPOBS going to get over 2015 election?

Sai Buhari abeg. Don’t mind the IPOB

By the time Buhari is done ehn...

I tell you.

I just wish this was done in the South West so they see a taste of the man they packaged and sold to Nigerians..

animals are not as cruel as humans, if u don't scare it, it won't bite u
... animals bite/kill humans as a preventive measure.

That is a venemous snake.
You probably didnt kill it because you were scared. Understandable.
You should have called someone else to kill it.
It will see a human and strike when it has the chance. It would not rationalise like you. It will bite and possibly kill the person it sees. Because of you. Let us hope that this wouldnt be a child or someone sleeping.

seunlayi:
How long are we going to continue like this and this is even getting worse. They kidnapped, demand for ransome, get Paid without any traces, they kidnapped again...... The circle goes and no sensible security agency to break it.

Wherever "terrorism" starts, it never ends.

From Afghanistan to Somalia to Iraq.... Never ever ends. Because the government and international players will find a way to weaponise terrorism.
Do not expect this one to end anytime soon.

adoyi8:
So many people thanking God did not realized that a ransom was paid for the pastor. if it was in Nollywood movies now it will have been that an angel strike the boko haram with blindness and directs the man to where he will be found.

There have been countless that have been kidnapped with ransom paid and yet, killed by Boko Haram.
Fulani herdsmen terrorists too. I am sure you know this anyway.
Today, it was reported that the Herdsmen Terrorists kidnapped the brother of a kidnapped person as he was going to pay the ransom. So, they took the ransom.

Leave those who want to thank God, to thank God.

Onijagidijagan:
Ransome will generate fund for bokoharram..and they will adopt more christians. imagine churches and government contributing money to release influential pastor, this is totally insane

Why is the poor girl Sharibu not released?

Not sure that he is influential.
No one knew him till his kidnap and release.

If you want to be influential this way, go and hand yourself over to Boko Haram.
You will certainly become influential.

This guy can be married to Kemi and still be fvcking Ore. Why will someone make a marriage decision for me? The guy mind is already made up on Ore, because of sex. To me Kemi is a wife material, Any girl wey respect my guys, I don't joke with them.


Who cor leak the chat? Abi them wan just trend?

I tell you. Dont respect my guys and family, I'll ditch you like a match-stick.
Had a lady once who told me to choose between her and my guys

In Buhari’s first stint as Dictator, Nigerians queued for bread, egg, milk and toothpaste. It was like a Venezuelan situation.
The result of a similar closed border policy.

I’m certain that he’s about to do this again. It’s just sad, the non-Buharists that will suffer as well from this.

White men are talking about Science and Technology, the black man us talking about Biblical stories, no wonder the black man is backward

The White men built their societies on "Biblical Stories".

Does United States and "In God We Trust" sound familar to you? Do you know WHY that phrase still stands and what necessitated that?
Or is that conveniently ignored?
You pseudo-atheists are just clowns seeking attention.

BigBashiru:
Immediately after the curse was pronounced in Genesis 9. Genesis 10 presents the table of nations - the Bible refers to Egypt(which is in Africa) in the Psalms as the "land of Ham". Yes the curse is broken for anyone that believes I Jesus Christ. For Any rational person that looks at Africa, it's obvious something is wrong.

You are right, Bro.
It is very, very obvious that something is wrong. Even when one step is taken forward, it is like 3 steps backwards shortly after.

Angelfrost:
Well, if the unforgiving man is better in other aspects of leadership, then you did the right thing.

You are right.

At least he’s taken Nigeria to the pinnacle of the world.
World’s Capital of Poverty.
Yes, you did the right thing.

BigBashiru:
Africans/ blacks are destined to be servants of servants according to the curse pronounced by Noah on Canaan/ Ham in Genesis 9. Black Africa is cursed.

Hmmm... I must admit I am yet to analyse that Chapter of the Bible.
Curses, though, can be broken. They are never permanent.

Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, (SERAP) has sent an open letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Most Revd Justin Portal Welby urging him to use his good offices and leadership and his “friendship with President Muhammadu Buhari to prevail on him to obey court orders most recently involving activists Omoyele Sowore and Olawale Bakare who remain in arbitrary detention despite a court order for their release.”

SERAP expressed “serious concerns about the disturbing trends by state governments and federal government to use the court as a tool to suppress citizens’ human rights.”

In the letter dated 11 November 2019 and signed by SERAP deputy director Kolawole Oluwadare, the organization said: “We believe you can use your leadership position and influence to persuade President Buhari to promote the rule of law in words and in action by obeying all court orders including the order for the releasing of Mr Sowore and Mr Bakare from arbitrary detention.”

SERAP also said, “As the senior bishop and principal leader of the Church of England, the symbolic head of the worldwide Anglican Communion, we believe you can reaffirm your belief in justice, rule of law and the basic human rights of all people by speaking out with a strong voice against the repeated disobedience of court orders and the implicitly lack of respect by the government for the integrity and authority of the Nigerian judiciary.”

The letter read in part: “Taking a stance on the issues of the rule of law and respect for court orders in Nigeria will also contribute to ensuring respect for human rights and the rule of law by the 36 state governments in Nigeria, as these governments seem to be taking their cue from the federal authorities regarding disobedience of court orders.”

“Journalist and activist Omoyele Sowore and Olawale Bakare are facing trial on seven counts of treasonable felony, fraud, cyber-stalking and insulting President Muhammadu Buhari, simply for exercising their human rights. Mr Sowore, was arrested on August 3 by Nigeria’s State Security Service (SSS) for planning a protest.”

“Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu granted Sowore and Bakare bail but the security agents have continued to refuse to release them despite being served with the court orders. This refusal implicitly violates the defendants’ constitutional rights to presumption of innocence.”

“We therefore respectfully call on you to speak out on the repeated disobedience of court orders by the government of President Muhammadu Buhari and urge him to obey all court orders including the orders for the release of Mr Sowore and Mr Bakare from arbitrary detention.”

Specifically, SERAP asked Most Revd Justin Portal Welby to:

Clearly and publicly condemn lack of respect for the rule of law and court orders in Nigeria
Call for the release of Mr Sowore and Mr Bakare from detention as ordered by the court
Call for greater legal protections for human rights activists and journalists in Nigeria who are simply exercising their right to freedom of expression and working to hold their leaders to account.

http://serap-nigeria.org/serap-writes-archbishop-of-canterbury-seeks-his-intervention-in-sowores-case.ngo/

Most Revd Justin Welby has an excellent opportunity to show that he and the Church of England is not another tool of neocolonialism, despite clear evidence suggesting that it is. Slavery Ships were "blessed" before and after they sailed to Africa to bring in human cargo.

Let us see if he would respond let alone do anything. I dont expect him too. That is neocolonialism for you. The “Church” in England is a political tool. Specifically, a foreign policy tool. Always has been. Always would be. That is why the Anglican Church of England have reduced the noise they were making as regards gay Bishops, because of the African/ Asian Anglican Church were threatening a pull out. Once they do, you are unable to manipulate them as a foreign policy tool.

LabDNA:
Yes, Nigerians use to be forgetful but not anymore with the advent of social media and citizen's journalism. The SW has lost the hegemony on the media, nobody will listen to their cries of 'aluta and activism' when they leave the high table again in Nigeria's volatile political system where Opposition becomes mainstream and vice versa within a twinkle of an eye.

Interesting observation. I admit we do not know the social dynamics of Nigerians, with the advent of social media.
It could well be that the SW has lost its hegemony and monopoly on news and narratives. They could still galvanise people, though, on tribalist grounds. That is one thing that sadly galvanises a divided people.

As for the Occupy Nigeria stunt, how people did not know it was a well-crafted tribalist, regime-change stunt, amongst a list of their political stunts they successfully pulled of, is beyond me. Nigeria is currently in a WORST state than it was then (it was not even bad then); yet, there are no protests, not even the odd reaction.

LabDNA:
There is no protest that will come from yorubaland that will be supported by the rest of Nigeria anymore. I still feel like a fool trekking from the streets of yaba to Gani fahwehinmi freedom park to protest the fuel price hike during GEJ. I feel used.

Of course. And I think they know it. (Meanwhile, I was being sarcastic there).
I have followed events in Nigeria for over 2 decades now and I have been priviledged to have read about Nigeria's pre-colonial, colonial and post-independence times. There is one consistent theme (amongst others) and that is the amnesiac nature of Nigerians.

Nigerians forget a lot.

So I expect the South West to attempt to galvanise the "South" through their immaculately gifted press-men. Eventually, when the Fulani Cabal goes in for Tinubu. Which they would. Would they win in their attempt to galvanise the Southern base? From historical evidences, they would. Nigerians are forgetful. Dangeorusly so. Would that "remove" Buhari and his Fulani cabal? It depends if they reach out to another part of Nigeria to build an alliance. If they do, then they would remain.
Nigeria "exists" on the foundations of a Tripod- Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba. One can rule effectively standing on 2 parts of that tripod.

plaindealer:
The money did not go to his daughter, it did not go to his daughter's NGO and it's technically not within the family.

It doesn't change the fact that you turn around to make false claims, baseless insinuations and ignorant assumptions just to discredit the man and his wonderful gesture.

Exactly.
And he goes around crying like a baby when he is called out . Funny fellow.

omenka:
Olula, here was my FIRST STATEMENT in was referring to...

Now, listen to me kiddo. I have way more important things to do with my time than console a sulking little kid. Go look for whoever must have taken your dirty toys away from you and cry your life away with them, I could hardly care less.

Dont know you. Dont owe you nothing. Dont give a fvck if you cry or not. Dont give even lesser fvxk whether you're happy or not.

You're nothing to me, never will be.

Now get the hell out of my sights.

LOL.
Of course you have resorted to cheap insults and diatribe, which is what foolish kids do when they are caught out. Ranting and crying. That doesn’t change anything— of course you know this.

Thankfully, my message has been passed. That you had to draw a line across each of them clearly means you read them .
That was my intent .
All’s well, that ends well. Go and make sure you do not misbehave again. Else you wil be called out.

majamajic:
why not take the phone and go ?

most naija armed robbers are not professionals

imagine , shot someone coming out from bank with nylon containing loaf of bread . in this case u can easily break the side glass and take the phone without shooting , now compare life , sight and phone

If people haven’t noticed it, there’s a wave of inhumanity and wickedness sweeping Nigeria at the moment. All manner of wickedness; from people being shackled in mental detention without their families knowing to IDPs being bombed by the Nigerian Army to armed robbers not just robbing but blinding and cutting off the hands of victims.

The frightening thing is that there isn’t any mass movement of Nigerians that are awake, spiritually and physically, to an understanding of the strangeness of these times.

omenka:
Did you even read my first comment? How am I defending them when I said Reno was right about the tweet even though I dont like him?

Here’s your statement:

“ By the way, the 5bill was paid into his daughter's NGO so, technically, it's still within the family.
One needs alot more details to form a good opinion on this. Hope it's not another image laundering stunt.”

1. By stating that the N5bn was paid into the his Daughter’s NGO, you are simply illegitimising the charity fund. We know that pedestrian trick. Why don’t you state that the NGO is actually registered under the CAC and, as such, subject to the Corporate Affairs Commisions guidelines? Or state that it is actually going to be managed by Save The Children Fund, an INGO? Or you didnt see that part in the news?

Or why you don’t state that, perhaps the reason why it wasn’t sent fully to a foreign NGO is because of the Nigerian Army’s current crackdown on foreign-owned NGOs?

Or you don’t know these?

2. Asking for “a lot more details” is a good thing. However, you are simply trying to subtly create an impression that is negative. How many “details” are generally announced in donations? None, to be best of our knowledge. Because you audit AFTER a period of time or AFTER the money has been spent.

This is a private donation, by a private individual. Do you actually get this?

3. “Hope it is not another image laundering stuff”— that’s silly. Is Otedola a Politician that he is looking to launder his image like a Buhari in suit? Of course you know he isn’t a politician. Yet, you are persisting with a hateful, sly, and evil attack on what should be lauded as a kind deed. Is gratitude so bad, that you cant express it?

You clearly have no feelings or care about the IDPs in the North. You simply hate them. Hence your subtle demonisation of this gift. Hence your refusal to call out the many millionaires and billionaires of Northern Nigeria extraction who have looked the other way while their region burns.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

The foundation was set up for aid and charity. That money will be towards the IDPs in the North. If you want to audit the spending, wait for 5 years and then move in to audit.
Calling the many billionaires in the North out is nothing evil. I am sure you know this. Defending them, while they display obscene amount of wealth in the midst of their poverty-stricken people, is actually evil.

Officialgarri:
Because others didn't publicly announce other foundations they support doesn't mean they are inferior to Otedola who is supporting his daughter's program

Others have donated nothing.
Let us speak the truth at all times. It wont kill you.

PapaBaby:
Imagine Jonathan had allowed even one member of his family to stay at Aso Rock, Tinubu would have gone into fits, protesting.

The whole of Yoruba land would have staged a second Occupy Nigeria Protest.
Sowore would have galvanised using Sahara Reporters medium.

Anyway, I trust the South West. They will soon protest. They are not hypocrites so they would protest this rubbish. I trust them .

Anontymous:
He is Nigerian by descent, he is a British National. How about that?

He has a Nigerian heritage. That is clear. The uniqueness of today’s world means that a lot of people have certain heritages.

But you don’t have two nationalities— unless you have two passports. He is British and— born and brought up.

Anontymous:
Both parents are Nigerians.

He is British.

He is NOT Nigerian.

Nationality is recognised by means of the passport document you hold. I thought this is simple.

Obama has traces to Kenya, but he is American.
Boris Johnson has traces to America, but he is British.

This is how the world works.
