Politics / Re: 2 Vehicles Filled With Explosives, Arms Reportedly Intercepted In Maiduguri by McLuhan(m): 12:51pm On Feb 16, 2015 |
God cannot be mocked. Whoever sows violence will reap violence. Therefore, my prayer points are as follows: 1) May all those who plot the death of innocent Nigerians meet a violent and horrible death themselves. 2) May the guns they import be used to killed them and their family members. 3) May an evil nemesis catch up with all those who sponsor Boko Haram and those who exploit the activities of Boko Haram for political reasons. 4) As for those in northern Nigeria and elsewhere who are planning to use the election results as a pretext for killing innocent youth corps members as they did in 2011, may premature death be an eternal curse that haunts their families for ever and ever. AMEN. 4 Likes |
Politics / Re: Is General Muhammed Buhari Really Competent For The President Of Nigeria. by McLuhan(m): 7:53pm On Feb 14, 2015 |
During his military rule, Buhari was the very face of draconian dictatorship. He clamped down hard on press freedom and killed people on the basis of retroactive decrees. If he was only wicked it would have been a pardonable failing. But he was also guilty of partiality or worse, of tribalism. After overthrowing the supposedly corrupt Shagari government, he placed his kinsman, President Shagari, under house arrest in a palatial guest house in Ikoyi, but threw the Vice President, Alex Ekweme, an Igbo man, into a maximum security prison. And this, when everybody knew that Ekweme had almost no power or influence in the Shagari regime. Since I am not one of those folks who suffer from voluntary amnesia, I cannot forget that Buhari served as head of the Petroleum Trust Fund under the universally despised and irredeemably corrupt government of the late Sani Abacha. I am referring to the same Abacha whose loot has been returned to Nigeria by many countries, including the US and Switzerland. And yet Buhari declared that this same Abacha did not steal a penny from Nigeria! Today, Buhari is flying in a private jet supplied by Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is by any reckoning one of the most corrupt and morally bankrupt politicians Nigeria has ever produced. And yet Buhari prides himself in being an anti-corruption crusader. Nor can I forget that Buhari has vowed to continue the agitation for the total implementation of sharia in Nigeria, a country which is by constitution a secular entity. Those who wish to vote for Buhari can do so. As for me I won't, because I know his antecedents. 1 Like |
Politics / Re: Mbu’s Order To Policemen To Kill Barbaric, Lawless – APC by McLuhan(m): 5:37pm On Feb 14, 2015 |
Why am I not interested in Lai's lamentations? Could it be because of this man's history of telling half-truths and beautiful lies? Could it be because this man failed to condemn Buhari for his infamous "monkey-and-baboon" speech? Could it be because this arch-critic of government has failed to criticise Boko Haram for its atrocities? Whatever is the case, I am not impressed. 21 Likes 1 Share |

Stale allegations and peurile insinuations from the warped mind of a devious and senile serpent. Who is more wicked than Obasanjo? Who tried to foist an unconstitutional third term on Nigerians? Who said election is a "do-or-die" affair? During whose tenure was Bola Ige, a serving Attorney-General, murdered? Who killed Marshall Harry? Who committed the genocidal act of sending soldiers to exterminate the people of Odi and sack their community? During whose tenure was the infamous Haliburton fraud perpetrated? Who entered office as a pauper and left the Presidency as one the three richest politicians in Africa? Who spent more than 16 billion dollars on electricity projects and left us with fewer megawatts than we had before the projects began? Which President sold major government assets such as the Tanscorp Hilton to himself and to his cronies? Who committed the hypocritical act of launching a personal library while still in office, thus blackmailing government contractors and favour-seekers into pumping billions into that morally bankrupt project? Who destroyed public universities through underfunding and bad policies and used gpvernment funds to establish his own private university? Under whose watch did Nigeria reach its worst rankings in the corruption indices of Transparency International? Which President presided over the abduction of a sitting Governor, (in the person of Chris Ngige), the President dismissing it as a "family affair"? Need I go on? 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Culture / Re: Top 10 Most Spoken Nigerian Languages by McLuhan(m): 10:02pm On Feb 11, 2015 |
Is this some kind of ethnic posturing or what? Who conducted this research? I hate it when people try to score cheap political points by bandying statistics and supremacist rhetoric. If Hausa is the most widely spoken native language in Nigeria, what am I expected to do? Abandon my mother tongue and learn Hausa? Or can we compare Hausa and Yoruba to English in terms of linguistic development, universal acceptability, versatility and sheer utility? Those who blow the trumpet of these so-called majority langauages should know that in the global setting these Nigerian languages are practically inconsequential. Whether Fulfulde or Annang or Igbo or whatever, they are all peripheral to English, French, Spanish, etc. 4 Likes |

Goodluck has my vote, not because he visited Lazarus Mouka or any other religious leader for that matter. I'll vote for him simply because the alternative is an extremely rigid, highly bigotted, sharia-promoting, violence-advocating, freedom-hating, chronically paranoid, educationally handicapped former military despot. I will only vote for Buhari if he brings back to life those youth corps members who were killed in 2011 after he called for the blood of "monkeys and baboons" to be spilt. I will vote for Buhari when he resurrects the young men whom he executed during his military rule on the basis of a retroactive decree. I will vote for Buhari after he personally begs for and obtains forgiveness from every Christian following his infamous vow to continue the agitation for the full implementation of sharia in Nigeria. Otherwise I can never and will NEVER vote for Buhari. 3 Likes |

The "baboons and monkeys" whose blood was spilt in 2011 will vote for your esteemed General. Insha Allah, when Shariah is implemented throughout Nigeria as Buhari famously demanded, we, the proselytes of Islam, will vote for him. |

After looting everything they could lay hands on, they have now remembered the masses because they need people to help them perpetuate themselves in power and secure their loot.

I laugh. Is this supposed to be a joke or what? Which state governor in the history of Nigeria has been more corrupt than Amaechi? Who has acquired more wealth by looting the Lagos State treasury and by cronyism than Tinubu? Who, other than Atiku, used government funds to build the most expensive private university in Africa? Who engaged in a selective anti-corruption campaign when he was military head of state? Was it not Buhari? Corruption will disappear indeed! 2 Likes |

Politics / Re: Patience Jonathan Denies Receiving N3bn From NDDC by McLuhan(m): 4:29pm On Feb 02, 2015 |
I have no doubt that there is a lot of corruption in Nigerian politics, but there are certain things that just don't add up in this story. First, how much is the total budget of NDDC that the agency would be able to sacrifice the princely sum of 3 billion naira for the purpose of "facilitating" the passage of a budget? Second, the said report by Saharareporters doesn't seem to quote any identified source(s) in the NDDC or in the National Assembly to authenticate or corroborate these allegations. Third, if NDDC paid 3 billion naira to Mrs Jonathan alone, how much did they pay to the other agencies (such as the accountant- general's office, the ministry of finance, the secretary to the federation, and the due process office) who would be expected to be involved in the release of the money? Perhaps Saharareporters knows something that we don't know, but I am mindful of that organisation's long record of reportorial gaffes. I hope this is not another one of them. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
