Matthew 23:23
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.”

Philippians 2:5 In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus.

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Folks here don’t even pretend to be in sheep’s clothing.

Emir Sanusi’s mandate was his people.

He fervently pursued their interest and was willing to rebuke those who had chosen to pursue personal interest at the peoples’ expense.

This was an unforgivable ambition to the political elites, who keep weaponizing poverty as their foremost re-election resource and have held the state ransom to underdevelopment.

It was unforgivable to the gandollar governor who wanted an emir that will serve at the pleasure of his intent, and not serve the interest of the people or be courageous enough to demand good governance.

This emir was too much threat to the northern elites hegemony. And so, an emir who evidences their greed or at the least, is willing to be blind to the excesses of elected officials and is willing to be superintendent on narrow minded customs was more desirable.

In fact, an Emir who is dumb and with a quarter Brain only for pleasure and reception, would have been the governor’s foremost choice for replacement. Not one, trying to act in whatever guise as some check.

I am glad Kano may get back its Emir that is raving utter about the lack of affordable healthcare for his people, that is passionate about the employment of his people, that is willing to call out the representative or appointed official that has not provided potable water, or decent infrastructure as schools.

I am glad Kano may get back an Emir that doesn’t care about the Cheques from those exploiting his people, and is willing to endorse only those who have shown commitment to the proper ideals or pass a vote of no confidence on those who have veered of from ideals sacrosanct to the progress of his people. He is an Emir who is interested in the cultivation of his faculty to serve his people and wouldn’t trade his tongue for the throne. That is a man who can cause a shift.

This is her own DADDY.

The picture is for those with mental slavery who still thinks customs such as displayed is antithetical to the west.

Such displays shouldn’t be a criteria in assessment of her performance or competence.

One can actually do a PhD thesis on Buhari’s laziness.

Fashola also called him lazy when he said the inverted below.

“President Muhammadu Buhari is the type of football coach that will sit in the dugout…and believe there is nothing he can do.”

The Lagos CP is some fresh air.

The supervisors of erring police officers should always face the music for failure to ensure their subordinates act properly. The supervisors documentation of past infringements and their recommendations on such erring officers could tempo the music they’d have to dance.

There is dereliction of duty when subordinates police officers on your watch are derailing justice or abusing their power.

However, if they are told they will also be culpable, senior police officers at the grassroots level would begin to ensure their subordinates acts properly.

While the CP is admirable in derailing the miscarriage of Justice, the whole case is just an indication that the police institution needs an overhaul of orientation.

People shouldn’t be able to use their influence or wealth to bend our police force to their will.

Bebex could hire 20 senior advocates who also dine with powerful judges and compel the case in the judiciary, but he cannot redeem his reputation and that of his acquaintances and those who continue to empower him by doing businesses with him despite his abuse of our women and our justice system.

While wealth and power would at the personal level compel or diminish our perception of character; as it did with Burna or Senator Abbo, who used their influence and power in a similar manner, we know that although they have eluded our consciousness , they won’t when the essence of accountability shifts in us, for all their misconducts will be revisited and their foremost legacy will be their abusive charisma.

Bashir was cozying to those the US perceived as arch enemies.

He couldn’t remain a friend to North Korea and sanctions should serve.

They destabilized the state,

And made Bashir reputation take the fall, when the sanctions bit the people

ousted Bashir,

legitimized a coup.

Again, immediately, a diplomatic relationship non existent before, was initiated.

Yet they kept training and sponsoring the weapons for the state military they have infiltrated.

On the other side, a para military which was not so influenced by the US was emerging.

They were a threat. Gave the state a missile guided destroyer and other warships.

They tell the rest of the world - the two actors in the conflict are both struggling over power.

US has an interest in that conflict. It is one of the two actors.

there was a time, Nigeria was a big brother.

Star boy Portable. He is a better news material than his contemporaries. Channels TV covers even his beefs.

But then-

Are you aware that former accountant general of the federation (Jonah Ogunniyi Otunla) has had his membership certificate and license to practice; withdrawn by ICAN?

So when he was the accountant general, he looted the federation account. Afterwards, in order to avoid prosecution, he returned 6 billion Naira to the FG. Stealing is against the ethical standards of ICAN, and also he had not behaved with integrity in his role as the Acct general of the federation.

For years, ICAN invited him in respect to petitions received regarding his conduct in his role as the accountant general, but he shunned the institute with utter disrespect and ridiculed the institute by absolutely disregarding it.

So, ICAN told him to return his membership certificate and that if he does not return it in 3 months from March, 2023, his name is automatically struck off from the institute membership register. If he does comply accordingly along with some other consequences, the withdrawal of the certificate and license to practice will be only for a decade.

The fellow is a made man, and has no need of the institute certificate, it also appears, he has no need of his own reputation. The institute on the other hand although have had its reputation soiled or sullied by the conduct of Mr Otunla, the institute, however by its decision to withdraw the certificate is redeeming or salvaging what is left of its own reputation.

If Mr Otunla is truly repentant and wasn’t just stitching loose end by his decision to return some of the funds he looted, he would then have also in good faith, disclose to us, those whom, he allowed to loot us of billions more. Mr Otunla is the reason our hospitals are in terrible shape, he is the reason our roads are in a terrible state, he is the reason FG has borrowed billions and put your unborn generation under the burden of servicing loans, which were only looted by Mr Otunla and his cohorts. Yet, you do not even know his name.

That said, Is it the end of journalism in Nigeria if the aforementioned information is not newsworthy ‘?’ because while there is time to talk about Portable, you will not even see or hear of any follow-up with officials such as the acct general who have cases of financial misappropriation.

It appears the media in Nigeria is complicit in proof of such invisibility, and the media not paying attention or choosing to disregard such reprimands - is only serving to provide incentive for public officials engaging in looting and other repugnant behaviors for which, it is the masses that is robbed and shall pay - either with their lives or with an utter diminished quality of the life they are suffered. In saner climes, the media might help create awareness about the conduct, and even serve a pressure group function in calling for such professional consequences for officials involved in such practices- but no, the air time is better spent on Portable. ‘His story will provide a better return and more engagements, and we will still be in the good books of Mr Otunla.’

‘Lynched Driver’ ? He is a son, he is a father, he is the husband to another. His statistic is little in being a driver and the motivations behind the mob action is little in him being a driver. It was that he was alleged of being a ritualist or looking better. If he was in a rickety vehicle, his outcome might have varied in spite of the accident that served to introduce him to a tragic end.

That said, about a decade ago, in Unibadan, a student was stripped naked and paraded around the halls. He was involved in theft.

Such was not the norm, however, it was the case then, that a thief will be mobbed and the students leaders or hall elders would endeavor to get the culprit to a secured place so that he can be handed over to Abefele (the school security).
Students can as well put a call through to the school security to avoid an utter descent into chaos. The point however is, in a community of reserved minds molding our society character, such events do occur. Again, If such mob actions could occur in an intellectual community, it can occur anywhere else in the country.

Just some weeks ago, A 500 level student was killed in OAU by his fellow students. He was accused of being a petty thief. While the outcome is isolated, the events leading to the outcome is the norm for those alleged or caught in such misconduct.

Is it up to a year, Deborah was killed in another institution of learning- just because she felt a platform created for educational purposes shouldn’t be abused for religious purposes? There was an endorsement of the disaster she was meted by most on the side.

In Adamawa too, a former VC was stripped naked and mobbed in a case of mistaken identity. They thought he was the INEC official that declared a winner in the gubernatorial election. Many on the social media celebrated such mob action and there has been no outright condemnation from the mainstream media that is busy pandering to a movement where mobbing others for their political beliefs or endorsements or affiliations is the order.

Anybody can be a victim of mob action. In all of these cases, fewer people had the courage to intervene. Anybody can be accused and on the basis of allegations, mobbed. Anybody can also be falsely accused and on the basis of such allegations, mobbed.

In my experience of such despicable spectacles, my interventions have been nil. The orientation I was inculcated was such that, if there is a fight, do not intervene- just walk away, because there are those who have lost their lives in an effort to be peacemakers and that the blessing that Christ in his sermon on the mount assured for such peacemakers is perhaps not worth much than being alive in one piece.

So it has been, if there is a public disturbance brewing, just take the other road or street. And so it has been, if a mob action is taking place in my street, I stay indoor. However, that mob action could be on an acquaintance or a relative. And by refusing to invite law enforcement officers or take any reasonable action, I have contributed to the murder of such fellows.

Let us reconsider our orientations. This incident in Akure would not stop another mob action from occurring in Onitsha. But then, if local community leaders are charged with the responsibility for and rewarded for protecting those at the whip of mob actions, there may be a reduction.

We also have to make a spectacle of capital consequences for those that take the law into their hands, even when the victims of such mob actions are culpable. Finally, we have to as responsible citizenry endeavor to take quick actions such as escalating any event to law enforcement where a mob action is likely to occur. During ALUU 4 , such an escalation was done but the police failed to save the day.

Failures of such reputations has to be met with remarkable disapproval and even consequences for officers involved. There was perhaps a police station in proximity to where this action took place. They should also explain what actions they are taking to ensure a re-occurrence do not occur. The Police should be alert to such events. It’s public , and saying that mob actions occurs in a very brief time is just an admission of incompetence. It is such incompetence of the law enforcers and incompetence of the judiciary that mob leaders have used in justifying their actions and the recruiting of the public to participate in murder.

While such remains a deterrent to concrete actions that may be done to allay the prevalence of incidents such as have occurred with Olorunfemi, we must begin to be courageous and lend ourselves to participating in ensuring humanity is restored on occasions of blind rage.

China’s Hauwei will do similar and so will Samsung.
Savings today, but also a payment platform soon. Perhaps will make Nigeria banks better with the terrible international payment services they provide.

Hundeyin may be a bully and his tactics may be unethical but Hundeyin’s voice is important.

Even this post is confusion pro max.

If you have ten lifetimes, reading the above will still be a squander of your time.

I hope Adichie writes a letter to China reporting how the west is complicit in the intimidation of Obi.

This is just an advert for how attractive an investment in trafficking is.

Emefiele may be the owner of Arowolo.

If you don’t think the powers that be have massive stake in the fintech they are licensing, well, you are not losing anything by your naivety.

If Osinbajo made the call to Oyedepo, Farooq’s fixation will not shift from ensuring the rest of us is suffocated with how such is bigotry of the highest quality; but he is not Soyinka to have the same energy or objectivity towards Obi.

He can’t risk the obedient people unearthing his extreme views and petitioning his employer to have him fired. However, when the heat is no more, he’d show us his ragged robe of courage of speaking his truth and kick the dogs he can kick.

Not even in this article can he take a position suggestive of any, contrary to the obedient movement, he could cite actual instances where the advocacy of either journalist border on absurdity and unprofessionalism even in the guise of advocacy journalism but no, the great Farooq would use the opportunity to give an historical lecture on the variant forms of journalism just to resuscitate his singular ongoing irrelevance in our public discourse.

There are issues begging for discussion even in this matter. This contribution, however, is only a testimonial of cowardice. The pseudo contribution rusts the psyche of the astrayed lots that have an appetite for the ilks but it should also awaken them to the actual intent of façade diatribes of him and even contributors like Soyombo.

Their aim is not the truth or a better nation or to provide direction to a better nation, their aim is not to achieve any such consciousness for the people, but to gain their own power and build their own relevance to become another Femi Adesina or Abati or Gambari.

It’s an echo chamber. Here is another interpretation of the same wording using an established context.

The one who called him unprintable names should equally be disciplined.

Those ones never could read or understand a thing he says- anyways.

Tolerance.

Even if they did worse, it’s not Christian to take up arms.

Datti’s commissioned a coffin for our dying democracy.
The invisible man don’t give a damn.
The prophets are given a drum of war
Rufai to keep the grievance alive, pricks the wound.
Adichie to keep the heat alive, flame the embers.

A very underwhelming season. Were not for here, no idea where the show is as.

Hehe. Can you see the date on the news story??

We have not harnessed the resources within our shores for everyone’s collective wealth. When Dangote sees an important resource or mineral in one of our neighboring countries, such nation will be annexed.

Okocha was short on transformation and short on self-improvement. He had other potentials beyond showboating which he could have developed. He could run across defense and terrify the opposing team, but tricks, flicks, juggling the ball was his priority.
