Newsletter01:
If Those Who Championed The #EndSars Protest Were Patriot As Claimed And Interested In A New Nigeria, Their Interest Would Be Justice For Slain Nigerians and For Peter Obi To Be Prosecuted.



I was never part of the #Endsars protesters because, like many Nigerians, we knew it had a political undertone which is today becoming manifest.

Those who conceived the protest early on were sincere in their demands for the Nigerian police to be reformed and bad eggs who tarnish the image and character of the police force, particularly the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), to be purged; however, their idea did not see the light of day because a few political elements hijacked it to make us believe that they were actually protesting against police brutality and extra-judicial killings, which was synonymous with SARS.

The protest had listed out its demands, which were the arrest, trials, and prosecution of erring police officers and their accomplices; reform of the police force; and the disbanding of SARS.

Expectedly, those who hijacked the protest and used it to unleash carnage in the country have all shown their true traits and motives behind the protest as they now support one of the major sponsors of SARS in Nigeria to become their President, although not that of entire Nigerians.

If those who championed the ENDSARS protest were truly sincere in their demand for justice for those who were unjustly killed by the defunct SARS, they would be on the streets and in Twitter space, demanding the trial and prosecution of Mr. Peter Obi, not some inconsequential million man-march.

It’s hypocritical to have sought justice for victims of SARS extra-judicial killings in Nigeria and yet recognize their killers as heroes. What sort of hero, please?

The heinous activities of SARS in Nigeria cannot be adequately described or concluded without mentioning the role of one James Nwafor, who was in charge of Awkuzu SARS when Peter Obi was governor of Anambra State.

It’s still on record that Peter Obi used the Awkuzu SARS and CP James Nwafor, who later became his aide on security, to send hundreds of Igbo youths to an early grave without consent of the laws or trials.

The records are still available on how mysterious dead bodies were found on the banks of the Ezu and Amansea Rivers and were reportedly killed and dumped by SARS officers on the orders of Peter Obi and supervised by James Nwafor, his man Friday.

Tales abound of the political intimidation by the SARS Awkuzu of political opponents of Peter Obi in Anambra State whilst he was still the Governor.

It is sad enough that when the federal government hearkened to the call of the EndSars protesters to set up judicial panels across states, Peter Obi approached a court of law for an order for him and James Nwafor not to be tried, and till date, that order still subsists.

If EndSars was truly for justice for innocent Nigerians killed and abused by SARS, Peter Obi should be facing charges and a possible prison sentence, not running for President. But unfortunately, the EndSars were for political reasons and not necessarily for justice.

Ezu and Amansea Victims still cries for justice.

Ifeanyi Umeoduagu writes from Igboukwu.

I think you forgot to take your medication today. This your write-up is nothing but madness.

oyebanji44:
Tinubu has been chosen, Cos Nigerians want a person that could perform competently...

Not incompetently like you obi the dullard


God bless Tinubu

Choose by whom?

oyebanji44:
Truly, mrs oluremi has a tender heart of a woman

Very impressive...

She does not . Election is here that is why .

Election is here, it's now they remember the people of Benue. When they were being killed like flies by Headmen,there was no word of consolation from Tinubu and wife( who happens to be a serving senator) . Election is here again, now they coming to condole with the people of Benue as if they care .

Nigeria's problem is not Leadership but 70% of her citizens and 30% of her system. Drop bad attitude today and watch 70% of our country's problem disappear.

There have been talks and discussions on how Nigeria can come out of her numerous problems. To me I think we need to first begin with change of attitude. Our mindsets/mentalities are not right and these have affected our attitudes. I believe if we can change our attitudes, the larger part of our problems will be solved. Below are the attitudes every Nigerian out there needs to work on and drop.

1. Most Nigerians are found of the habit of throwing things like plastic bottles, sachets of pure water and so on around which litter the environment.


This is a bad attitude that we must drop. When you finish drinking a sachet of pure water, don't throw it to the ground. Keep it in your pocket or inside your bag and dispose it properly into a dust bin or a dump site. We most complain that our cities and towns are dirty but we have failed to acknowledge the fact that we are responsible for this. We complain of poor drainage system but the not too good ones we have are being packed with wastes by us and this often leads to flooding. If you and I learn to dispose those things we dont need again properly it will help our environment. Pouring dirty water on the road, throwing shells of fruits on the ground and so on are some of the bad attitudes we need to drop as a good citizen.

2. Drivers and Car Owners in Nigeria are found of disobeying traffic rules by using "One Way" concept to skip traffic on the normal road they are in.

This is bad. Driving through One Way as people would say is a bad attitude. Nigerians should learn to be patient. This bad attitude has cost us more evil than good. We blame our leaders for our problem in this country but we fail to realise we are our own problem. Is it President Buhari that said you should go and take "One Way"? And why must our Government spend so much to enforce law on the people?

As a driver or a car owner, never drive through one way. Irrespective of how intense the "hold up" is. Obey traffic rules

3. Nigerians are found of this habit of displaying impatience by jumping queues. You just came and then go to the front to start begging someone to allow you enter or want to force your way through.


This is very bad. Never jump a queue. Don't go and talk to your friend to allow you to stay at his front or at his back. It's a bad attitude. Learn to respect people who came before you. Learn to be patient to queue at the back of the last person on the queue.

4. Nigerians like 'awoof'. We always want to achieve things without paying money.

Stop this attitude. It is bad. When there is a service or product that requires money, please pay. If you don't have, wait till you will have. Look at the Electricity issue in Nigeria. Non-payment of electricity bills is one of the problems. Also illegal connection is another issue. Develop a mindset that paying for a service you are benefiting from is the best.

Government is not Nigeria's problem but the attitude of the people. Stop looking for free things. Try and always pay for what you need and want. Look at our private schools, a parent will put his child in this type of school and refuse to pay but can pay for Aso Ebi when a ceremony arises. How will the school pay salaries to their staffs? Some Youths wants a situation where by they can call or browse without paying... looking for cheap code up and down, even desiring that the credit codes of these our telecom companies leak out and then begin to use it. We need to change our mindset on this, so that we will not be part of this country's problem.

5. Nigerians have this mindset that the law is made for the poor and not the rich. They believe with money you can breach the law and bribe your way through.

This is a bad attitude. Stop bribing your way out of the breach of the law. Pay penalties when you breach the law. You don't have driver's license and you are driving and now you are caught and instead of you to ask for the penalty and do the right thing, you are bringing out money to bribe. It is bad. Nigerians should stop giving law enforcement agencies money. Try and know the law and the fines. Many Nigerians always put up this contempt attitude against the law. They just do things anyhow with the hope that if anything happens they will pay bribe. All in the name of "Money Stops Nonsense".


The problem of corruption begins with this bad attitude. People who pay bribes are liable to collect it too when the opportunity comes. Desist from doing this. Pay fines, royalties, charges and whatever you are required to pay when you fall victim of the law or use a service. The World will not collapse on you for doing this.

6. Nigerians have this I don't care attitude. You see an inscription that says "No Parking" and you went ahead to park there.

What's the meaning of that? You see "No Hawking" and you go ahead to hawk there. Nigerians should desist from this bad attitude of I don't care. Be observant of rules inscribed on sign posts or walls or whatever around you and obey.

7. Many Road Users like pedestrians, drivers, hawkers, riders and so on have this bad attitude of anger.


You and I must have witness one driver calling another driver "Fool", "Animal" and so on... even cursing the person. This is not good. It is true that someone on the road might have done something wrong, if you cannot correct him politely please keep quiet and go your way. Also if you were insulted or cursed on the road, ignore, don't talk and go your way. If you know you have made a mistake on the road, say sorry. Learn to admit and apologise. We are our own problem. This bad attitude of insulting and cursing another road user can result to a terrible fight. It can even cause hold up on the high way. Why should we be behaving like this? The insult or the curse won't affect you. Just ignore the person and see the person as not being matured and move on. A matured person should be able to control his or her emotions.

8. Going to the house of a Politician or a rich person to hail, bow and beg for money is a bad attitude. This is one of the reasons we are backward.

Stop making these people look like they have solutions to your problems. Stop collecting fish. Learn to catch fish yourself. This is very common with Street boys, Thugs and people in the small towns and villages. When a politician or a rich man is passing or goes to his village, the next thing you see is people flocking around the person. It's a bad attitude. It takes thinking outside the box to see that this thing is wrong. This bad attitude has enthrown thuggery and God Fatherism in our country.

Also is begging someone for money indirectly by hailing him and asking him for what he brought for you. This is common with gatemen, people/officers who work at Airports, non-teaching staffs who work at tertiary institutions and so on. Learn to believe in yourself and work for your own money and stop depending on someone.

9. Extorting People is another bad attitude common with Nigerians.

A taxi driver during rainfall can decide to inflate the transport fare just for nothing. Imagine a seller saying a bread of 100 naira is 300 naira just because he or she sees you as a stranger or from another tribe or that you are desperate about it. It's bad looking for money this way. Products or Services that have fixed price should not be inflated for any reason. It is cheating. You are taking advantage of the person by leveraging on circumstances surrounding the person at that time.

10. The whole attitude problem can be summed up in one sentence as "Achieving a goal easily and quickly without following due process".

Many Nigerians hate "Due Process". We want fast things. We want quick money. We want easy money. No one wants to labour following due process. No one wants to do the right thing. May God help us.

If we don't drop these bad attitudes, it will be difficult for us to develop as a nation.

Many people are ignorant of the fact that Leadership is not our problem but the attitude of the citizens. Even the leaders come from the citizens, so the problem is taking everywhere. A Nigerian is always a Nigerian and no matter the position he or she occupies whether low or high he will continue to cause problem for the country.

The rubbish throwers, queue jumpers, one way drivers, indirect beggars, extortioners etc are part of our problem in this country. So are the Almajiris, the Agberos, the Omo Oniles, Thugs, Cultists and other evil people.

In conclusion, before you step out of your house in the morning always take time and ruminate over those bad attitudes you are using to cause problem for this great nation and then make up your mind to desist from doing them. Tell yourself, I want to be a good citizen by doing the right thing always. I must not be part of this country's problem any more. Then step out do your work, earn your money, help someone, be happy and make your environment a better place. If every Nigerian can do this and become good citizens, 70% of our problem will die a natural death and Nigeria will become very developed.

God bless Nigeria and her people.

Thanks.

You like obidents or you hate obidents, if you value Nigeria, and you love your kids you will vote peter obi.

Some Obidients are complete nuisance and occult. I am Obidient but some of these Obidient are aggressive and too fanatical for my licking .
I believe some idiots from IPOB abandoned Thier Biafra or death .They suddenly forgot thier undying love for Nnamdi Kanu and quickly keyed into the Nigeria project by seeing Obi among the contestants.
I wish they would just crawl back to the hole they came out from and let the real Obidient be. They are making the Obidient movement look like an aggressive one when we are not .
They are the ones that send out death threat to any one that speaks against the party or Obi.

yyba:
go and asked ASARI DOKUBO . PETER OBI is a criminal and anyone supporting him is also a criminal . Are you obi supporter ? Just asking from a friend, if you know you know

So Asari Dokubo that is a militant and a gunlord is now your reference point for sourcing news information. Abi ? You should be ashamed of yourself.. This shows that so many idiot roaming Naira are either very young or unintelligent . They just argue just to attract as many mentions for attention.

CheapHomes1:
You should have said this thing since. But should osinbajo have to wait for obi to call him first? Why didn't osinbajo resign and go one of those mushroom parties to actualize his dream just as obi did? Does he need to depend on obis popularity to win election?

My own is why Ambode didn't come to labour so that he can give Sanwolu a run for his money . You can see that he is sleeping well becos his opponent are light weight politicians.

Offpointng:
Peter Obi permutations wasn't smart at all...If Peter obi had intentions of winning, he ought to have call along Osinbajo to LP and allow Osinbajo be the presidential candidate while he become the vice. and when Osinbajo is done with two terms, Obi can then now contest and by then, nobody would have the popularity to contest with him

But he fvcked up and shot himself in the leg

what planet are you even from !! How can both southerners run for presidential and vice presidential seat in thesame party ? You just want to talk sha!

MansoryMX:
[s][/s]

You sound dumb & foolish for a young man who is supposed to be intelligent. Nothing like sent back to your state. You as a Nigerian have the full right to live anywhere in Nigeria! But if you break the law or constitute nuisance that warrant persecution then you will arrested and charge to court

He knows all what you have said but he is blinded by bigotry to think with his head.
Remember these were the same people that mocked the SE& SS in 2015. They called themselves the premium citizens and rated themselves among the first class citizens that deserves all the juicy position from Buhari govt alongside thier northern friends that jointly mocked us .But what happened next!, Buhari sidelined them and favoured only his kin and they became humbled .Then came the silence of the sai Baba on thier lips and their arrogance turned to humility . Now they have started with another sick and frail man they want to lead a complex country like Nigeria ..
The painful part is that, they think life revolve around them only . They refused to understand that others have the right to kick against another sick and frail president that will end up wasting another eight years of thier lives just like what Buhari has done .

Kagd10:
The Amalgamation which binds Nigeria together.

See tears and wailing. You don't want to go back to your enclave because Lagos is functioning yet you insult those who made that Lagos' functional. May thunder fireeeee you there. You dey mad? Go hold your uselesssss leaders accountable in your region. Tinubu didn't rule you or your papa. You dey mad. Bunch of tribalistic hatefilled loonatics.

Lagos is a mega slum and a lawless state, especially under sanwolu govt . You guys should be ashamed of yourself that Lagos is a paradise to you mediocres. Later Una go sey Una dey sophisticated. Everywhere is dirty ,smelling of dried urine and smells of open dirty canals ..Then to crown it all with lawless driving from commercial drivers and motorbikes.

kk2027:
There's no crossroads here for me

If we're against atiku because power must return to the south, Why then vote Tinubu so SHETTIMA can can be in charge. He already said he'll handle security and I guess SHETTIMA will also be the one signing Tinubu's appointments

We're voting Obi cos it makes absolutely no sense voting Tinubu. He's not even around to kickstart his own campaign, yet he's looking for presidency
Southern turn must not be wasted abeg

Nice one. I thought matured minds have all left Nairaland long ago..Any, People think it's all about voting in thier tribe man that will fix the nation or bring them closer to the national cake ..
They should ask the north if they are presently enjoying the presidency they all rejoiced over in 2015.
If Tinubu was strong & healthy like Atiku or Obi ,people would not be too concern about voting for him. But seeing his failing health , is like a Buhari regime about playing itself over again.
Sometimes I think Nigerians should just divide this country, since we refuse to use our common sense to do things right,becos we hate one another . We would rather suffer a sick - frail man to waste another 8yrs of our lives just because he is from our tribe. Sometimes I think Nigerians really deserve their leaders . Apologies to the reason with Thier head.

Ddokie:
Obi should focus on the South, targeting 75% of the votes from the SE and SS, while targeting 25% in the SW (except lag where he would do very very well). He should double up efforts in the middle belt states of Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Plateau, Benue and Abuja, as well as the core northern states of Kaduna, Adamawa, Taraba, Gombe, and Bauchi which have large Christian populations.

The Muslim northerners that will vote Obi have already made up their minds to do so, and they are not too many. The others won't vote for him, even if he were to shed his blood for them.

But that shouldn't be a problem because APC, Atiku and Kwankwaso will do so much splitting of the muslim north votes that it wouldn't be able to give anyone victory.

nice analysis..

Restructure Nigeria! You are a bloody liar.. As per revamping the economy! That I believe you . Pls don't campaign on things that you know you cannot fulfill . We are not all stupid .

northbird:
Interest is over 500%

ok

northbird:
False.. The interest per annum is over 500% and not 30%.

it's a flat rate per month and not per annum . It's a short term loan. So if he is expected to pay N4500 for just N15000 given to him per month ,that should be 30% flat rate .

budaatum:
Can someone please work the interest for us.

The interest is 30% of 15,000. Which is 4500. 15000+4500=19500

Faber:


By this time next year, President Peter Obi, will be addressing the nation on her 63rd birthday, he will be telling us how far he and Datti have gone, and the projects ahead.

#TakeBackNigeria

why count your eggs before they are hatched ?

emmy512:
What was his offence? if none allow it to be settled without bringing peter obi to the discussion.

How will his arrest affect a rally?

well i heard he had undeclared hard currency on him

Stop talking rubbish.Anyway ,he has been released

I wish to adopt a baby girl .. How long does it take to process adoption and is it very expensive?

donpapa:
Congrats GRV, unfortunately none of you in the opposition can unseat Sanwo-olu. You guys (opposition parties) should have just teamed up and form a formidable force against the ruling party but you wouldn’t because ALL of you are after your selfish interests.

no one can unseat Sanwolu with Tinubu backing .. if only Ambode had joined Labour Part to contest for Lagos state, then Sanwolu would certainly have sleepless night . But with these light weight as opposition, they should just consider it has an exercise in futility.
I like Salvador,I have head him speak b4,he sounds very smart and intelligent.However ,we need an heavyweight candidate to unseat Sanwolu and their Lagos urchin of Agberos

Salewa97:
The 2023 election should come soon so that all these Peter Obi supporters can go back to their previous chants of Biafra or death

The Obidient should not be your problem. This is not a game..It's a fight for our lives and that of our children. You all mocked the SE &SS when Buhari won the 2015& 2019 election.. How is life with you and Nigerians in Nigeria?. Presently,there is a mass exodus of people running out of the country under the term japa due to the unbearable situation caused by you stupid clowns and your master Tinubu !
Do you think it's fun ? Who will you be doing if you guys decide to vote in another Buhari into office ? Do you think you wil be exempted from the harsh reality of life like we are all experiencing right now ?
Both those that voted for and against Buhari are all suffering the actions of your stupidity in 2015 & 2019.Your inability to think clearly in Ur decision to choose a sick frail man into power, just like what we are presently experiencing under Buhari govt, will land Nigeria in another merry go round of bad leadership and terrible country .

The Obidient are not your problem,rather you are Ur own problem. At the end of the day, who ever emerges as the winner will rule over those that voted for and against him. If he turns out to be a stupid leader like Buhari due to old age and sickness, then you should clap for yourself as the most stupid person in the world for having to vote In a two time old and sick president into power .

It's democracy..not everyone will vote for your old ,frail and sick candidate. .. campaign and vote for yours while the Obidient should be allowed to vote for Thier candidate in peace .

As for you tagging the Obidient movement as IPob and Biafra movement..SHAME ON YOU AND YOUR STUPIDITY. I am from Delta state (non Igbo) and proudly Obidient

This is not autocratic rule but democracy. Pls mind your business and campaign for you candidate while we campaign for our .

We Obidient stand by Obi. Let his enemies watch as he attain a greater height.

You should be more concerned on what to tell this child when she or he comes of age, as to who thier father is, Or how they came about .

Don't bother with all these our churches that are nothing but hypocrite,who only pretend to be holy before Man but do dirty things behind close door -Nor should you concern yourself with society and what they have to say concerning your decision. The only thing you should put into consideration is to ensure the donor is known for the sake of your child when she/he grows up .

There are so many bachelors that might be opened to something like this. As long as you don't trouble them with the childs bills and other wahala.

My advice is this ,look for a nice matured bachelor that does not want to settle down any time soon . Ensure you have enough financial means to cater for this baby should he not want to be involved financially just yet or in be the future. The most important thing here is that there is a face to the paternity of your child should he start asking about his Father in the future. Nobody want to be born a bastard or to feel they are a product of a donor sperm.This might have a negative effect on him or her mentally .
Therefore,the child is what you should worry about and not some holier than thou pastors And church members.

Ttalk:
Orji Uzo Kalu is a sane Igbo with rational thought. Please drum it into Obi's ear and tell the Obidients to stop labouring in vain.

who should they labour for?

andycom:
Someone went from city to city inviting intelligent and progressive Nigerian's and they willingly paid for it.

Another old cargo who always pee on himself and sleep when he's in an important meeting sent his agberos to sell sticker by fire by thunder and you're ok with it cos he's from your tribe.


When will you have sense?

His likes will never grow sense .They are conditioned to suffer and only eat out of the crumps that falls from thier masters table. They dont see beyond the 500-5000 that they will get for them to feed for the day . They lack vision not do they aspire anything good for themselves and thier children. I feel sorry for him .

Bunch of unwise children of hate

You are so blinded by bigotry that is why you are very comfortable with this video . I feel sorry for you . You voted Buhari and I am sure you are enjoying his administration. What a country with citizens like you.

Wallade:
If you believe that this man is ugly then I think you need recommended lens. Stop hating on men who no dey see you sef.

GeorgesDiary:
Why do you folks never read? I bet you didn't read but rushed to comment .

Are you sure this comment is for me ? I was trying to tell the op that other dignitaries and head of state from other European countries also took the bus . So wonder why u decided to attack me .

GeorgesDiary:
THE LIES & THE TRUTH.

A lot of reactions have trailed the picture that surfaced online where African Leaders were seen, packed in a bus heading to the Queen's Funeral. Many have said that African Leaders weren't valued hence the treatment. Others claimed that the African Leaders were still suffering from the stings of colonialism.

As of 11th September 2022, it was already public knowledge that world leaders may have to travel by bus as STATE cars were banned. This was reported by many UK news outlets and online newspapers. According to Mirror UK

"A document leaked to Politico at the weekend said that escorted coaches will take them to the venue from an undisclosed location where they will have to leave their cars “because of tight security and road restrictions”.

Private aircraft were also banned at Heathrow and all official places used for funerals and associated events. Moving with helicopters around the UK was also banned.

Joe Biden, the President of America was on the other hand given preferential treatment where he was allowed to be driven in the "Beast", a special vehicle manufactured by General Motors for the President for security reasons. He was considered a very high risk hence the need to travel in the special security outfit.

All global leaders regardless of their continent drove in sets of buses. Aside from African Leaders, most European and Asian leaders also drove in luxury coach buses. Those who took group transport also included the European Commission President, German President, Italian President, King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain, King Philippe of Belgium, and China delegates. While the Emir of Qatar traveled in his car, he was forced to wait at the checkpoint for 20 minutes.

All foreign leaders were informed to leave their vehicles in West London as a result of security and restrictions and they saw no issues with it. The pictures circulating online have been misconstrued and misinterpreted.

Another reason why they traveled in groups was to decongest traffic. You can imagine all world leaders going in their vehicles to prove a point at a funeral. Another thing to note is that Biden's vehicle was not provided by the UK.

Again, Joe Biden and a few others were considered very high risk and were allowed to travel in their official vehicles because it has been custom built to protect them from attacks of various degrees.

Were African Leaders in any way humiliated? Of course not! If it was humiliation, then maybe, the entire leaders around the globe were humiliated.

The Canadian president also came with the Bus. You guys should stop all this one sided talk

I believe that guy is a Dutch guy. They are known to be misers.
