Anyone that knows about this two will believe that they are sworn enemies considering the banter from them.

But it seems an olive branch has been stretched fort.

Here is message from Adeyinka Grandson to Nnamdi Kanu doing the rounds on social media.





I have nothing but sympathy for the tragic losses suffered by the family and friends of Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB over the death of his beloved mother and now father. I applaud Kanu for his work helping other Young Ibo so that they can think about making Iboland great, although I feel his intervention is more of propaganda and ill judged considering the fact that he, like Azikiwe and Ojukwu, wants to appropriate Edoland, Ijawland, Efiki/Ibibioland and others as part of Biafra. This won't fly!

Guys, please pass this map to Mr Kanu to appreciate the futility of his current agitation for Biafra. And hopefully, he might change in favour of an independent Ibo speaking only nation outside Nigeria or an Ibo speaking only region within Nigeria.

Buhari is disgracing Nigeria

Imagine the complete disrespect for Nigerian democracy chasing away the judge to arrest Sowore in Court.

Everyone properly informed knows that Atiku won the elections, If Buhari can do this in the wide-open without a fear of millions of Nigerians, imagine what he must have done in secret.

Buhari needs to be Impeached.

It is time for Buhari to step down

Resign Mr INEC

After demonstrations in London made him uncomfortable.
Nigerians in Nigeria should try to wake up

‘Climate of fear’: Nigeria intensifies crackdown on journalists

Fisayo Soyombo was eating an evening snack in Lagos in late October when a colleague called to warn him about a plan hatched by Nigerian government officials at a clandestine meeting to arrest him.

Hours earlier, the second in a three-part undercover series by the Abuja-based investigative journalist on corruption in Nigeria’s criminal justice system had been published.

“I made two more calls that night [to government sources] and it was clear I was in trouble,” Soyombo said. According to all three contacts, the government wanted to prosecute him under a law criminalising certain types of communication with inmates.

Soyombo pulled out of a public event he had travelled to Lagos for, and went into hiding.

Had he been detained, Soyombo would have been the latest victim of a crackdown on the media and freedom of speech this year in Nigeria, which is 12th out of 13 on the Committee to Protect Journalists’ Impunity Index, a ranking of countries with the worst records of unsolved murders of journalists.

Soyombo said he received a lot of support on social media in the days after he went into hiding, and that the plan to arrest him has seemingly been dropped. The Nigerian correctional service eventually released a statement saying work could be done to clean up the system, and that it had “no intention of arresting or harassing” Soyombo.

At least three journalists are currently detained in Nigeria.

Omoyele Sowore, an activist and founder of the New York-based online news agency Sahara Reporters, was taken by secret police from a hotel room in Lagos in August. Sowore, who stood as a candidate in February’s presidential elections and usually lives in the US, has been charged with treason, cyberstalking and money laundering for allegedly sharing false and insulting information about the president, Muhammadu Buhari. Despite being granted bail earlier this month his lawyers said they were denied access to him, and he remains in detention and is currently on hunger strike.

Jones Abiri, the publisher and editor-in-chief of the Weekly Source newspaper, was arrested in May and charged with cybercrime, sabotage and terrorism. The case related to 2016 allegations of links to rebels in the Niger Delta, after which he was detained by Nigeria’s intelligence agency for two years without trial.

In the southern state of Cross River, Agba Jalingo, who publishes the Cross River Watch paper, was arrested in August, days after the publication of an article about alleged corruption. Jalingo has been charged with treason and a bail request has been declined.


Human rights activists and civil society groups say that the muzzling of the press under Buhari has raised the spectre of a return to the dark days of military rule in Nigeria.

Buhari, a former army general who has been president since 2015, was also Nigeria’s head of state in the mid-1980s, when he took power in a military coup. At the time he introduced the draconian Public Officers (Protection Against False Accusation) law, better known as Decree 4. The law targeted the press, criminalising the publication of information deemed injurious to the junta.

“These [recent] incidents suggest a disturbing trend towards repression of freedom of expression and create a climate of fear which may stifle the media,” said Anietie Ewang, Nigeria researcher at Human Rights Watch. “Throwing reporters in jail for doing their job of informing the public sends a chilling message to journalists, activists and citizens.”


Soyombo said gagging the press was a misuse of power. “It is an irony that a president and state governors who ascended to power via the polls can suddenly not tolerate dissent,” he said.

This is actually disgraceful.

It's not the people's Nation, it is Buhari Nation

Unbelievable image shows Police pointing Gun to Journalists and protesters at free Sowore protester

Could Buhari be a proxy ruler for the UK? this might be the highest form of treason similar to Trump Russia saga

This WhatsApp broadcast explains why Buhari might be spending so much time in the UK


Below

Buhari has fired 35 aides in Osinbajo's office. Some of the affected aides have always defended the public course of action of the Young Yoruba for Freedom (YYF), and have been our reliable sources of information.

The Scotland Yard Counter Terrorism Command had obtained the contacts of some of the affected aides from the phones and laptop seized from Adeyinka Grandson.

They have also obtained several chat messages from the phones and laptop seized from Adeyinka Grandson and might have found the sources of YYF credible information and advised Buhari who is currently in London to relieve the aides of their jobs.

This has been anticipated since the arrest of Adeyinka Grandson, but we are not losing sleep over the action of the Fulani to retain power beyond 2023 through the backing of the English.

It should be mentioned, however, that the allegation of terrorism against Adeyinka Grandson was reported by people very close to him. They are presently in court to ask for their identity not to be disclosed.

What is stopping Buhari from releasing all their evidence for public opinion?

Instead of them to deploy all the 820 buses and dash the existing buses to other states, they are busy fighting.

This people are truly the enemy of the people.

What happened to voting by text or digital voting.

Hitech build the worst roads on Earth but Lagos keeps giving them a chunk of the roads to build hence the bad roads all over lagos

Regulation solves everything.

nairalandposter:
What are your concerns about the picture?

All that is left is to replace Sanwo-olu with a Foreigner so that it is a perfect picture and we can Kuku say the whole country is useless and foreigners can do a better job all round including leadership.

I guess then you will not have to ask about my concerns with the picture.

NGpatriot:
Actually very obvious, just another bash and badmouth Nigeria topic.

Maybe the national origin of the kep players are not Nigerian, but these companies are fully owned Nigerian companies even, they employ hundreds of thousands of Nigerians and they pay taxes here in Nigeria, their spending on manpower, tools, equipment, advertisements, legal, accounting, food, hospitality, vendors are all done in Nigerians with the money going into the pockets of Nigerians.

Most of these anti-Nigerian topics and sentiments are mostly ignorant and myopic.

With this kind of thinking.. you certainly get what you deserve

valarmorghulis:
Nigeria engineers will use half of the money to celebrate the contract and pay tithe

Well the foreign companies take our money away to their countries.

We have never been blessed with good leaders in this Nation because of tribe and religion.

Imagine in a country of millions of engineering graduates. The governor of Lagos is proud to say this -

Julius Berger, Arab Contractors and the other companies involved in our meeting today have been charged to approach our road reconstruction and rehabilitation projects with the highest standards.

I am of the opinion that Sowore and his SPICER-HEAT plan is what can save Nigeria.
Too many clueless leaders in Nigeria leading the masses nowhere

For real, for real
Who did this to us?

I think the point is that the foundation of a country is its constitution and not the other way round.

Blue3k:
Lol the author was too lazy to fact check before writing a buch of nonsense based off a false premise. There's dozens of countries with multiple constitutions.

Mention one

By Adeyinka Grandson.

Nigeria's the only country in the world where its independence is older than its constitution.

Nigeria's Independence is 59 years old.
Nigeria's Constitution is 20 years old.

In every society, the Constitution is always first written and agreed upon before the country is founded.

Nigeria's Constitution was written and agreed upon by the Yoruba, Ibo and Hausa/Fulani in 1959. And thereafter in 1960, the independence was accomplished.

Normally, the Nigeria's Constitution should have been 60 years old today while Nigeria's independence is 59 years old. But the criminally minded Ibo suspended the Nigeria's constitution in 1966 whilst the barbarian Fulani single handily wrote the current Nigeria's constitution in 1999.

There is nothing to celebrate in Nigeria unless and until we return back to the Nigeria's constitution of 1959 as amended in 1963 or break up the country.

How is it possible that the year 2020 is next year and Buhari an ancient man is still our president in Nigeria.
Buhari must have meant that he does not rate the youth of this generation because they are docile.
Imagine Big brother and Afrobeats is the pressing issue on the average mind of Nigerian youth.
The treatment of Sowore shows clearly that Buhari does not rate the youth at all.

Unfortunately, there is no solution and nothing will change except the government cancels Big Brother
Maybe then they will wake up.

This rulers have no fear of the people.
If only Nigeria has a Jerry Rawlings

After the Court judgement on the release of Sowore, it seems the final say is with Buhari and not the Court of Justice.

For the sake of democracy in Nigeria

BUHARI MUST BE IMPEACHED

They are waiting for Buhari approval. Dictatorship

The Alternative With Reno Omokri

When I read the charges against Omoyele Sowore, the publisher of Sahara Reporters, I laughed. Cyberstalking, insulting the President and other such ridiculous charges. Sowore has not lied against General Buhari even up to a quarter of the lies he told against Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, yet Jonathan never once contemplated arresting him.

If you say Omoyele Sowore is a liar, I will agree. He tells deliberate lies to destroy the reputation of those he is against, using his Sahara Reporters website. He has done it to me personally and to my boss. But neither Jonathan nor I ever contemplated his arrest



I sympathise with Omoyele Sowore, but I cannot help but feel that what is currently happening to him is self inflicted. I know his nature. By the grace of God, he will come out of prison, read this, and use saharareporters to savage my reputation. But, he created the Buhari Frankenstein monster.

What is happening between Sowore and Buhari is just a bromance gone sour. Nothing more, nothing less. Sowore is not just some innocent human right activist that General Buhari is persecuting. He was an ally of General Buhari, and sold him to Nigeria. We must not rewrite history or we will repeat it.

Using saharareporters, Sowore dishonestly DEMARKETED then President Jonathan as a “DRUNKARD”, a “SLOW POKE”, “CLUELESS” and MARKETED General Buhari as an “INCORRUPTIBLE”man who would “CRUSH” Jonathan, and was “BETTER” than GEJ.

In 2014, when then President Jonathan said “I am the most abused and insulted president in the world but when I leave office, you will all remember me for the total freedom you enjoyed under my government,” he was referring to Sowore and saharareporters. Nigerians mistook his tolerance for weakness.

Today, General Buhari is trying Sowore, his former partner in propaganda, for insulting him. If insulting a President is a crime, then both Buhari and Sowore are guilty of that crime due to what they did to then President Jonathan. But it is NOT a crime and Sowore should be freed! Sowore is not the victim here. The victim, who refused to be a victim, is former President Jonathan, who Sowore accused of thievery, yet all the former President’s children schooled in Nigeria while he was President. 5 Five years after leaving office, no one has found him wanting.

It is quite possible that people around Jonathan made money, just as people around General Buhari are making money. A President cannot be everywhere. But I am telling Nigerians, Jonathan was not the THIEF, DRUNKARD or WEAKLING that Sowore painted him to be. He is a God fearing man. To fear God is weakness to men like Sowore.

Then President Jonathan is MEEK. MEEKNESS is not WEAKNESS. MEEKNESS means you have POWER, but you RESTRAIN yourself from ABUSING it because you want to BUILD, not DESTROY. Moses was MEEK. Nigerians do not deserve a MEEK leader. We deserve General Buhari.

On more than four occasions, Omoyele Sowore visited Nigeria while Jonathan was President. We knew his whereabouts. He met then Governor or the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, and was in contact with General Buhari himself and Nasir Elrufai. But Jonathan never arrested him because he believed in FREEDOM of the PRESS. Perhaps Sowore thought he was dealing with a Democrat like Jonathan.

Sowore and saharareporters marketed Jonathan as a corrupt weakling. Yet, Jonathan would never have made a man indicted by the army for theft, as reported by Premium Times, a minister. Jonathan deported South Africans in retaliation when South Africa deported Nigerians. It is Buhari who is WEAK and CORRUPT.

The problem with the average Black African, and particular the Nigerian variety, is that we CRY over CONSEQUENCES, and LAUGH over ACTIONS, forgetting that CONSEQUENCE follows ACTIONS as DAY follows NIGHT. Sowore and Saharareporters are the ACTION. General Buhari is the CONSEQUENCE.

I look at those now shedding tears for Sowore and I remember when then President Jonathan’s son was crying because his classmates were laughing at him because they read on saharareporters that his father is a drunkard. Even children believed what they read on saharareporters!

Without Sowore, General Buhari would not have become President. That is an indisputable fact. He and Saharareporters poisoned the mind of Nigerians against then President Jonathan. As Christ said “offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!”-Luke 17:1.

It is a different matter if Sowore and saharareporters used the truth to turn Nigerians against then President Jonathan, but they used lies. Deliberate and malignant lies. You cannot DESTROY another man and expect Providence to BUILD you up! ko le work!

What General Buhari has done to Sowore is a common Northern tactic. I lived in the North, so I know. Abacha used it on Abiola. He used Abiola to destroy Shonekan. After Abiola destroyed Shonekan’s government, he was of no use to Abacha, so Abacha threw him in jail!

General Buhari and Nasir Elrufai know what they used Sowore and saharareporters to achieve in destroying then President Jonathan. They are not fools. These guys are more political sophisticated than even Sowore knows. They will not sit idly and watch him do the same to them.

All of you were FOOLED when General Buhari rubbed mentholatum on his handkerchief and used it to induce crocodile tears. Shebi you are now seeing the genuine Buhari now? Who is crying today? Buhari or you? When we told you did you listen? Enjoy your Buhari!

General Buhari used Sowore and saharareporters against then President Jonathan and he will never let them be used against him. Sowore was naive. He should have known that the first person a feudal king kills is the kingmaker that brought him to the throne. So he can’t remove him from the same throne.

What an irony that Sowore used saharareporters to remove then President Jonathan from office, but today, he cannot use the same saharareporters to remove himself from jail. Don’t dig your enemy’s hole too deep so that when you fall into it, you can also escape.

Let's speak out against drug abuse

Let's speak out against child abuse..

Speak out

Speak out..... Till fade


I only remember the last part of the chorus and I remember Irene Morka..the undisputed champ

Other of such programs

Junior challenge ( there was a boy called Ofodile, nobody could defeat him, they had to give him a price..so others could take the slot)

Junior debate

JETs club ( One school made a machine that could turn roasted okra seeds into tea..or something similar, memory is hazy)

You got it.. I could not find any clip online.

Is there anyone here that rembers the lyrics to the theme song of the 90s children show titled Speak out.

The children of then have now grown into adults and we should all speak out against the government when they do wrong like illegally kidnapping Sowore and charging him for insulting the president.

Speak out, speak out

Anyone rembers the NTA show..

Someone they stalk to the hotel and kidnap illegally

Award-winning investigative journalism.

Very interesting.

Scammers everywhere
