We are in interesting times indeed. As the political fever moves across our national landscape, the unending yearnings of Nigerians are throwing up questionable heroes who are promising Eldorado should they be voted into office come 2019. From the State to the Federal level a sense of false hope seem to beleaguer the land, as various mantras now in circulation promises to change the change of 2015.

These self centered gladiators have sowed the seed of confusion among scores of uninformed Nigerians and effervescent young men and women who seem to have believed the desperados’ well construed lies. A great philosopher once said “hindsight is better than foresight; the more historically minded you are, the more you can understand the present and actually foresee the future.” Unfortunately, our present day Nigerian youths always fail to come to terms and make informed decisions in retrospect.

It is against this backdrop that the rising political demagogue of our time, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has been of great concern to me. Looking at things on the surface, the Senate President appears to hold the aces and represent everything Nigerians should desire in their President. He is young, relatively well read, with a rich array of political office experiences for his age, and of course he is the heir of a colossal political dynasty.

Also, Bukola is married to Toyin, who being the daughter of the Yoruba aristocrat Oloye Adekunle Ojora, the Otunba of Lagos, brings so much political capital to the table for Dr. Saraki at this material time. Not to forget the fact that the Senate President born of a Zimbabwean mother and his wife, Toyin are both British citizens. What more should Saraki ask for? Everything seems to be working for him and “I Thank God for his life.”
But in these synthetic goodwills lies his albatross; for one thing is common with Senate President Bukola Saraki, he has mastered the art of betrayal, which has been his well concocted ladder to the top. With Mr. Bukola Saraki, there is no holds barred with what he can do, or who he must muzzle out of the way to gain a political advantage.

How more real can this aspect of his true personality be reflected than when Bukola bite and chopped off the very finger that fed him? Right in our very eyes, in the glare of the whole world, the junior Saraki stabbed his own father in the back, wrenched the political structure the old man laboured to build for well over 50 years, publicly disgraced the man who so loved and gave him everything, and of course heartlessly sent him to an early grave without recourse to human conscience.

One can then wonder what would have become of Queen Elizabeth of England or even Prince Charles had Bukola Saraki stood in the line of succession like Prince William or Prince Harry? For sure everyone standing in his way to the throne will be gone by now. I’m too sure Saraki would have wittingly killed the Queen, eliminated Prince Charles and even murdered his only brother all in a bid to get to the throne; after all who won’t want to be the King of England?

Betrayal is something that comes from deep inside the human nature – a phenomenon that underlies all the unpleasant things that human beings do to each other. Moreover, the very nature of betrayal is dramatic, both in the act, and in its consequences, so dramatic that the victim is always left bewildered. Like Julius Caesar who when stabbed by each of the assassins, bleeding profusely, he stumbles towards his closest friend, only to be stabbed by him too. “And you too Brutus?” sums up Caesar’s surprise, disappointment and sadness at being betrayed by this particular friend.
I think Saraki is worse than Brutus. I can only imagine the grim look on the face of the senior Saraki, especially in his final moments, knowing that his own son killed him for his insatiable thirst and quest for power. I’m too certain the old man must have muttered words of curses which I’m afraid may come to fruition presently at the highest height of Bukola’s rise.

As a student of history, I’m watching patiently to see what will be the end of the Senate President; especially now that he is coming to the very end of reaping the harvests of his infamous life of betrayal.

Like Judas Iscariot, I know it will not end well with Saraki, the very reason I’m afraid that the entire nation may suffer irreparable losses if the judgement is unleashed on him while he holds the reins of power. Indeed Saraki is like a poisonous snake well wrapped in a cellophane bag.

Nigerians Beware!

With sheer consideration to organized labour and what they aim to achieve with this fight i believe the grounding of workers tools is ill timed and has adverse pecuniary effect on the country's already ailing economy. The country and government is already overburdened with too much travails. Though labour's intentions are favorable particularly towards workers, the attendant inflationary backlash that always accompanies salary increment is hard to avoid, not forgetting that some governors are not able to pay their workers salaries with the current minimum wage. Am afraid this new minimum wage will further provide excuse for such governors to continue to owe their workers. Government should improve the general economy of the country which will inturn improve the value of currency and keep suffering at bay.

Controversial author and lawyer Reno Mokri is coming for side chicks in his recent Twitter post where he opined that men that maintain their girlfriends are not showing any sign of responsibility but just being stupid. The women in a mans' life that deserve to be maintained are his mother, wife and daughters. Cuz any babe that require maintaining is no different from an olosho.

The withdrawal of mobile policemen who were on special duty from Benue state in late July is also an irresponsible act by the police leadership, who clearly know that removing the policemen would leave the fickle town vulnerable to senseless herdsmen attacks. Policemen are being killed almost everyday across the country. Just yesterday bandits reportedly killed four policemen who are part of a team of detectives attached to IGP Intelligent Response Team ( IRT) while on operation along Jankasa village of Rigasa in Igabi Local Government Area in Kaduna State.

Nigerians should be the ones to decide who should be responsible for securing their lives and the sanctity of the nation’s feeble democracy, the IGP has displayed his incompetence and ineffectiveness in more ways than one, if Nigerians agree he should be sacked then the president should listen and give him the boot.

I mean this is the best comment... really cracked me up

My growing up years was largely inspired by indigenous literature, with authors like Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, and Ola Rotimi leading the pack of those who practically recast our society through words on marble.

The Gods Are Not To Blame is a 1968 play and a 1971 novel by Ola Rotimi. The story centres on Odewale, who is lured into a false sense of security, only to get caught up in a trail of events by the gods of the land.

Like Odewale who was destroyed by his own pride and ego, Ayodele Peter Fayose, is a man with a false sense of security. He fanned and fuelled his second entrant into the Ekiti Government House with vulgar words and inordinate actions.

By making himself a messiah of sort he pulled down every known political structure in the PDP while fraternizing with street urchins in the most bizarre fashion. By instituting the “stomach infrastructure” Fayose felt he had devised the perfect replacement for an organized party system and political governance.

Alas! The Governor became a comic figure as he fried akara from street to street and ate amala from house to house; and as his so called popularity soared, Fayose publicly prided himself as the “kpomo governor”.

Indeed he became self absorbed in this false sense of accomplishments that he began to dream of the Presidency in 2019. Yes! Fayose expected his stomach infrastructure brand of politics to deliver the goodies.

The “President-in-waiting” began to assault every known politician in Nigeria. From Federal to states, Fayose was the only saint Nigerians must trust.
Regrettably, he was so lost in his “self-righteousness” that he forgot that "....until the rotten tooth is pulled out, the mouth must learn to chew with caution." Like Odewale, caution was never to be considered by Fayose, despite his failing leadership style back home. The Ekiti workers whom he not only derided openly but owed nine months salaries were watching him disdainfully.

Despite collecting over N27bn as bailout funds in the first and second tranches of the Paris Club Refund, protests amongst lecturers in higher institutions in the state over payment of “amputated salaries” became a recurring decimal.

Tax deductions of as much as 120% were taken from workers salaries without recourse to common sense, and that a pay-back by Ekiti workers was imminent.

Even when political bigwigs decamped en-mass from the PDP in the state, in stomach infrastructure did Fayose put his trust. Traditional rulers were equally not spared of the Governor’s venom and voracious attacks.

Moreover, his fraudulent tendencies became ominous when Ayo Da Rock forced his puppet and PDP candidate, Prof. Olusola Eleka to sign a bond, that he Fayose will borrow the PDP N4bn to prosecute the election.

Guess what? The purported amount was to be repaid by the incoming PDP administration at a compound interest rate of 25%, had Eleka won the polls. What a scam?

It is obvious that now that the Governor’s Stomach Infrastructure has fallen apart, a day of reckoning is just in sight.

As Governor Ayodele Fayose prepares to account for his stewardship of Ekiti State in the past four years he must bear in mind that "....it is always best to keep your words soft and sweet because you might never know when you will have to eat them.”

Like Odewale the lead character in the gods are not to blame, Fayose’s pride indeed has gone before his final fall from grace.

Could the collapse of his “Stomach Infrastructure” be the end of this “dear” political demagogue? Only time shall tell.

Frank Eze.

My fear is that she could return to her former size again if she gets too comfortable and stop hitting the gym.

Ayodele Peter Fayose, aka Peter “Da Rock” has been one of the most enchanting characters in the present political dispensation. His charm, self-belief and assertive personality have dominated the news, both for good and bad.

Since the triumph of his second “missionary” journey to the Ekiti Government House in 2014, Fayose remains visible. So in his quest to drive his popularity across the Nigerian political divide, Ayo “Da Rock” was either creating political battles for himself or adopting one that does not necessarily concern him.

Using voluptuous rhetorics that combine crafts and deception he attempts to sway unsuspecting members of the public, while endeavouring to install himself as a political god-father in the ever slippery political environment in Ekiti. No wonder he made vulnerable people including a Professor of Building Technology his puppets.

Talking of Professor Olusola Eleka, we hardly heard or saw him during the campaigns, as the battle in effect was between Fayose and Fayemi.
Eleka was a monumental disappointment. An academic scholar of his standing never had a say going into the election. He was essentially a yes man. We saw him kneel before Fayose on several occasions. Do you remember his shenanigans at a thanksgiving service to mark his nomination? In effect, he called Fayose his god in the House of God. And this he did without shame for the people or fear of the Almighty.

At another time during the commissioning of Ekiti Flyover Bridge, we all witnessed one of the most laughable public sycophancy in recent history. Professor Eleka while prostrating flat on the ground screamed to high heavens telling the world how loyal he is to Fayose. He said things like, “Oga sir, I am your boy sir, I am loyal to you sir, you shall live long sir”. It was indeed an appalling sight to behold. Even former President Goodluck Jonathan could not hold back his amusement.

I wonder how then Fayose in his widest dream thinks he can foist Eleka on the people. Agreed, a Fayemi’s administration may not necessarily be the best solution to the economic crisis Fayose has created, yet Fayemi is way better alternative to an Eleka who would have being nothing but a puppet in the hands of his master, Fayose, was he elected.

Lest we forget, ever before Eleka became an option, Fayose attempted to manipulate the constitution so he could run for a third term. It was when that ambition failed woefully that he considered indirect rule through a puppet a valid choice.

No doubt, Ayodele Peter Fayose aka Da Rock, is a master entertainer in crude politics. The just concluded election reminds the entire nation of the drama and practical falsehood politicians can explore just to survive the next election. Fayose bragged like the “Lion” and wailed like a “monkey” all on national television.

Unfortunately for him, the Ekiti people know better and have proved to the gregarious Fayose that the appellation of “Fountain of Knowledge” is not a ruse. They can hire and fire anyone including the ever garrulous Governor.

T’wale to the great people of Ekiti for not falling for the drama king.

People are truly blind, how can u compare the person in the video with the picture above, the person in d video is clearly not Rev. Ben Ubeh, nor is he d CAN chairman Taraba State, or the one predicting people’s death. If people don’t have things to say it’s better to remain silent than display their ignorance publicly. May ur gentle soul rest in perfect peace daddy Ben.

Dear President Muhammadu Buhari,

I read the 14 page statement recently released by former President Olusegun Aremu Kikiola Obasanjo about your stewardship of our nation.

Interestingly, both of you were in the army. Both of you are retired generals. Both of you were Military and civilian Presidents. I read the contents of his letter. He is not an ordinary Nigerian and as a statesman, he is in a vintage position to advise you during critical moments like this. Having said all these, I want you to note the following :

We are in a democracy and you are a Democrat. Therefore, accept criticisms as you have always done. Although some of the issues raised were exaggerated and the language used was very unpresidential and even somewhat suspicious, you must take it seriously and adress what you honestly consider genuine and in the national interest.

You should not lose sleep over Obasanjo ' s statement. If you haven't forgotten, he installed the late Umaru Musa Yar'adua as President against you but when he couldn't remote control him, he fell out with him and wrote him a letter, the type he has just written you.

It was the same Obasanjo who brought forth Johnathan, campaigned for him, nurtured his Presidency but still later fell out with him and still wrote him a letter, this same type of message sent to you.

Don't forget that Baba Iyabo had publicly acknowledged your good character and commended your performance even in 2017. So if he condemns you publicly in 2018, it means the handshake has reached the elbow.

You know he likes to be in charge and you are one person who belongs to no one and belongs to everybody. No wonder he stopped coming to the Villa and once that happened, I knew his letter will not be long in coming and it came!

He confessed in his statement and I'm sure unconsciously that you have done well in security and the fight against corruption. Are you surprised about his anger on your fight against corruption? Well, no one will be happy to build a house and watch it brought down without being VERY ANGRY.

I don't know who the father of corruption is in Nigeria but I know who institutionalized the "Ghana Must Go" phenomenon in Nigeria. I know the President who had 20 thousands in his account but had many billions on leaving office.

Don't worry if you are criticized on your handling of the economy by a man who met the dollar changing for 22 naira but took it to 150 in just 2 years. The man is trying to take the driver's seat. Don't you see the body language? His boys have been sent to seek the presidency. One is in APC and the other in PDP. His letter coming at this time is a bell to announce the plans.

When Obasanjo arrested a sitting governor in handcuffs and sacked him from office, he also razed down Odi and eliminated everyone and everything in it. He declared a state of emergency in Plateau and forcefully removed senate presidents at will to show his presidential power.

Oh my God! Where is Bola Ige, Obasanjo's Minister of Justice? What of the charismatic Harry Marshal and all those brilliant Nigerians who dared to speak then? Even the one suffering from verbal dysentery! I mean Governor Ayodele Fayose, he also understands the difference betwen OBJ and PMB.

This is moreso as despite his noise making nobody has used few legislators to forcefully impeach him. Mr president, you are a Democrat so continue to maintain the sanity of a president and civility of a Democrat.

Finally, did i hear that OBJ said you shouldn't contest in 2019? I don't know his source of moral for giving such an advice but a man who wasted billions in bribes to alter the constitution, a man who had made himself the Mobutu of Nigeria can not stop a good man like you from being our President again. Power belongs to God.

He determines who to give NOT Obasanjo. Let me say that you are the best alternative we have right now. We know you need to really do more. We are with you. We want you. If God permits to be alive in 2019 and you contest, we will vote for you.

Bala MAJIDADI, writes this piece from kano.

It is only long before the true corruptible nature of a Policeman manifests, it appears Magu has put his hand in the same pot of soup with the known bad eggs whose woes have continued to impoverish nigerians.

Looks like he has received his payment in full

Well articulated!!!
