brilliant article, this was what we used to know Nairaland for back in its days of glory

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has given Falz the Bahd Guy seven days ultimatum to withdraw his 'This is Nigeria' Video. The group described the video has thoughtless, insensitive and highly provocative. It is a hate video. It is Islamophobia nulli secundus.

According to MURIC, the video has the potential of causing religious crisis of unprecedented dimension. The group therefore demand its withdrawal and an apology to Nigerian Muslims within seven days or the authors and their agents will face legal action if they fail to comply.

Details of the Statement made Available to Naija News by MURIC director, Professor Ishaq Akintola reads:

"Folarin Falana (Falz the Bahd Guy), a Nigerian artist, last week released a new song called ‘This is Nigeria’. The production featured a character that dressed like a Fulani man, who suddenly abandoned his traditional guitar and beheaded a man. It also portrayed women in hijab as choreographers dancing the ‘shaku-shaku’ (a dance associated with a drug-related song)."

"The video manifests ethnic bias against Fulanis while it ignored the criminal activities of ethnic militia of the Middle Belt who have also massacred Fulanis and rustled their cattles in their thousands. This video has denigrated Islam, demonized Nigerian Muslims and subjected them to public opprobium."

"MURIC rejects Falz’ explanation that the the girls in hijab in his ‘Shaku Shaku’ dance symbolize the Chibok girls because nothing in the video indicates that the girls represent the Chibok girls. At least none of the Chibok girls have been seen dancing like a drunkard. They are always in pensive mood. Do they have any cause to be dancing? Are they happy? This video is the most detestable, odious and insidious Islam-bashing in recent time."

"Only the scenes portraying police brutality and the money-swallowing snake in the video are near the truth. Falz’ ‘Shaku Shaku’ video is nothing but a hate-induced production. It is a most unpatriotic handiwork of a Nigerian youth in 2018. Here is the work of a youth working towards turning Nigerians against each other; a youth inciting Nigerian Christians to hate their Muslim neighbours; a youth instigating Muslims to religious violence. This video is in bad taste. It is a hate video. It is an assault on the self-dignity of every Muslim. It is freedom of expression gone haywire."

"We call the attention of security agencies to this hate action. The tragedy facing modern societies all over the world is their criminal complicity in Islam-bashing and their hypocritical accusation of Muslims of terrorism and religious violence. On the contrary, terrorism is mere smoke. Provocation, derision and injustice are the fires which cause terrorism. We reiterate our pontification that it is naïve for a fire fighter to ignore the fire and turn his hose at the smoke. The world is treating symptoms, leaving the real ailment to fester."

"We remind Nigerians of the outcome of similar provocative actions in the past and their unpalatable outcomes. The violent reaction of Nigerian Muslims to Fun Times magazine’s blasphemous story of December 1990 in which it was alleged that “Muhammad had an illicit affair with a woman of easy virtue according to the Qur’an and later married her” shook the country to its foundation. Isioma Daniel’s article, “The World at Their Feet” published in ThisDay newspaper on Saturday, 16th November, 2002, drew the ire of Muslims across the length and breadth of Nigeria."

"Violent demonstrations broke out in 2005 when the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten's published a cartoon in which Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was depicted as a terrorist wearing a bomb-laden turban. In January 2015, Charlie Ebdo, the French satirical magazine used cartoons that were considered provocative by Muslims. Blood flowed on the streets of Paris."

"We condemn violence and all acts of terrorism. But we do not share the opinion that freedom of expression can go to any length. Even Pope Francis has warned people not to insult the faith of others. He said, "It is normal. You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faiths of others. You cannot make fun of the faiths of others. Freedom of speech and expression are fundamental human rights. However, there should be a limit to offending and ridiculing the faiths and beliefs of others."

"But has this advice been taken seriously? Nigerian Artistes have consistently proved that they are most willing to ignore the Pope’s advice. They provoke Muslims at the slightest opportunity. They have this habit of giving Muslim names to characters who play devilish, immoral and lowly roles in their films, e.g. Sikiratu Sindodo, Jelili Oniso, Basira Baseje, Osanle Modinat, Aminatu Pa-pa-pa are a few examples. Of recent, Muniru and Ambali play despicable roles of idiocy."

"The idea behind this is to make Muslims feel ashamed of the ordinary Muslim name. It is inhuman, despicable and bully-motivated. MURIC will defend the Muslim name with every legitimate tool at its disposal."

"There is no gainsaying the fact that a culture of impunity pervades the arts in Nigeria. The National Film And Video Censors Board (NFVCB), a regulatory agency set up by Act No. 85 of 1993 to regulate films and the video industry has a case to answer. ‘Shaku Shaku’ video was shot and released under its watch. What is its alucutus. What will it say if Muslims elect to go violent over this primitive, irresponsible and reckless production? What will it say if hundreds of lives and properties worth billions of dollars are lost in the ensuing violence due to its negligence?"

"As we round up, MURIC warns Nigerian artists to stop giving Muslim names to devilish and lowly characters. We appeal to Muslims all over the country to simmer down. Let us adopt a civilized approach to ‘Shaku Shaku’ and teach agents provocateur some lessons in respect for human feelings. Instead of going violent, Nigerian Muslims should take those behind the ‘Shaku Shaku’ video to court in order to serve as a deterrent to others."

"We therefore give notice of impending legal action against the artist behind the ‘Shaku Shaku’ video unless the latter is withdrawn and an apology is widely published within seven days."

What has this country turned into? is the DG of VON not a public servant?
Is a public servant supposed to interfere in public issues?

To make things worse, he is the DG of a news platform, how is he supposed to deliver fair news when he is already opinionated?

The nPDP faction in the All Progressives People's Congress has accused the federal government of blackmail.
The group accused the presidency of not being interested peace talks.

The group also showed displeasure in the withdrawal of the security aides of the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives.

A statement made available to Naija News by the spokesperson of the group, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, CON, reads:
"The public may recall that there have been ongoing talks between members of the former nPDP, the APC and the Presidency in recent days."

"Nigerians may further recall that a team from the former nPDP led by Speaker of the House of Representatives, His Excellency Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara and four others, were to meet with the Vice President, His Excellency Prof Yemi Osinbajo today."

"However, while we are truly and earnestly committed to achieving reconciliation, harmony, truce and cohesion in the APC as we approach the 2019 general elections, it is appears that the Presidency is not interested in the talks and that they may have been negotiating in bad faith."

"We were alarmed that immediately after our meeting with the Vice President last week, the presidency misrepresented  what transpired at the meeting by trying to blackmail some of the principal actors involved in the discussions in a national daily."

"Similarly, the leadership of the party (APC) went ahead to ratify  all the Congresses from ward, local governments, states and zonal  where many of our members have complaints, effectively presenting us with a fait accompli.
The persecution of our members using state security apparatus have continued unabated."

"We recognize the powers of the Police to conduct criminal investigations but by rushing to the public with the issue even when they have unfettered access to the leadership of the National Assembly suggests an attempt to undermine, caricature and humiliate the institution of the legislature."

"It appears that there is a fouled and toxic atmosphere and environment of intimidation and threat to life in which we now find ourselves which may no longer be conducive for members of the former nPDP to continue with the talks."

"Given the unfolding events in the last 24 hours, where the President of the Senate, His Excellency, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki and His Excellency, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, the Executive Governor of Kwara State , both of whom attended the meeting with the Vice President on Monday 28 May, 2018, have suddenly been accused of sponsoring armed robbery by the Police under the directives of the Presidency."

"Similarly, on Saturday, June 2nd, 2018,  the Department of State of Services (DSS) also suddenly withdrew more than half of all the security details attached to the  presiding officers of the National Assembly under questionable circumstances."

"The nPDP leadership has decided to  brief our members on the unfortunate development and get a fresh mandate if good faith returns to the discussions."

Opeyemi Bamidele, Apc governorship aspirant

Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose has called for three days of fasting and prayer for the All Progressives Congress (APC) former governorship aspirant, Hon. Michael Opeyemi Bamidele (MOB) and others that were hit by bullets fired by a trigger happy policeman at the APC secretariat on Friday.

The governor, who also directed the suspension of all open campaign activities of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State for three days, demanded that those found culpable in the invasion of the State with illegal policemen that were involved in the shootings must be brought to book.

In a statement made available to Naija News by Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said even though he was glad that Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele was responding to treatment, it was necessary that Ekiti people should support him and others with prayers. “Our doctors can only try; it is only God that heals. Therefore, it is important at this point for all of us in Ekiti to go to God in prayers so that He can heal our brother and friend, Opeyemi Bamidele and others who sustained injuries on Friday.

“At this point, it is immaterial the political party that he belongs to, what is important is the life of an Ekiti son and I pray that God will touch Opeyemi Bamidele with His healing hands. “Most importantly, Opeyemi Bamidele is a man that I have great respect for and since he has now been airlifted out of Ekiti for further treatment elsewhere, all we can do is to pray for him,” the governor said.

While urging politicians in the State to shun violence, the governor said the people should learn from the sad incidence and shun politics of violence.

“We must all shun violence and stop this mindset of coming to oppress the people of Ekiti with federal might. Those planning violence must be mindful of the fact that one can only know the beginning of violence, not the end.” He said the perpetrators of the shootings must be brought to book, adding that “the matter must not be swept under the carpet just because those involved are APC chieftains.”

A candidate of the People's Democratic Party in the recently concluded PDP governorship election in Ekiti state, Prince Dayo Adeyeye has defected to the All Progressives Congress.

Naija News had earlier hinted that Adeyeye who is a former Spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party was planning to decamp to the APC after his defeat in the gubernatorial primary.

When he was asked about his intention to join APC, Adeyeye said: “Who told you that? Okay, Yes, i was in Abeokuta but it was a private visit. I will never join the APC. I have not decided on which party to join for now but definitely not APC” he said.

The former Minister of State for ‎Works stated that he left the PDP in a bid to align with APC and its candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, to rescue Ekiti.

mrphysics:


I learned that the best way to solve this increasing societal problem posed to the community of men is to read up how the men of old solved it. I like the following method, it was used in UNN.

1. Have them seated,
2. Walk to the waitress/waiter and order for a plate of rice with no meat and a sachet of pure water for your girl/woman and her friends.
3. Order for a plate of rice, salad, chicken and can of Hollandia yogurt for your self.

They walk away in shame

God bless you

President Buhari might impeached soon
Edo South lawmaker, Senator Matthew Urhoghide has moved a motion for the impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari over the payment of $496mn for purchase of Tucano jets without National Assembly approval.

Urhoghide is calling for invocation of Section 143 of 1999 Constitution which gives the NASS power to impeach the president.

The motion was seconded by Chukwuka Utazi spoke in support of the move.

“This is an impeachable offence,” an obviously angry Mr Utazi, said.

Naija News recall that Buhari had left members of the lawmakers angry the illegal withdrawal of $496 million to pay for 12 Tucano jets which they contended was done in breach of the constitution and without legislative approval.

Just a days ago, Honourable Kingsley Chindam a member of the house of representative also called for the impeachment of Buhari.

The National Assembly in Abuja is currently experiencing serious commotion as hoodlums reportedly stormed the senate

The Senate chamber of Nigeria's National Assembly got invaded by some hoodlums while plenary was ongoing and made away with the Mace.

The senate sergeant-at-arms tried to stop them but they overpowered him and in the process, gunshots were reportedly fired.

The attack on the National Assembly might not be unconnected to the recent suspension of a senator.

In the meantime, activities in the Senate has been place on hold and senators are reportedly scampering for safety
