Same of the same.

While it is true that Nigeria always treated crime in the North with levity, it is not an excuse to demand same in the South. The call is to enforce compliance in the North.

Solid minerals are been extracted by illegal entities in the North with the FG turning a blind eye while the resources in the South are strongly supervised by the FG.

Why are you so enamoured to hypocrites of do as I say but not as I do?
Is that because you are also a hypocrite huh

What has a corrupt SMD got to say about accountability from anyone?

Daily Post Nigeria

Ifreke Inyang Ifreke Inyang

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has said politicians’ sins are forgiven when they join the ruling party.

Oshiomhole made this statement on Thursday, while welcoming new members to the party, at the APC presidential campaign in Benin.

As he reeled out names of those who have defected from the PDP to the APC, he said: “I am told that there are a lot of very very senior people from PDP who have decided to join forces with President Buhari to take the broom to sweep away PDP and to continue to ensure that APC continues to preside all over Nigeria.

“It includes my own brother, my friend who comes from my own clime, Henry Duke Genebe. He is the former organising secretary of PDP and we also have former vice chairman PDP and leader of Edo North of PDP. We also have my brother Chief Esheshi Godwin. He is also former council chairman and my very dear friend. We have quite a number of other leaders who have come.

“We have quite a number of other leaders who have come… in fact, once you have joined APC, all your sins are forgiven.”

“The Day We Can’t Tell The Truth, This County Cannot Flouris”.

He said two bitter truth about the country in this clip.

1. The federal government has been bias on how they treat criminals involved in illegal activities in the North and Southern Nigeria.
Deploying the JTF (The Army, Navy, Air force) against illegal oil bunkering, to kill oil thieves and destroy their
While the Federal Government turned a blind eye when it’s illegal miners in the North (Zamfara) involved in mining gold and other solid minerals in the North.
The illegal activities involve Chinese nationals and they’re so well armed with weapons and choppers that the products are airlifted after mining, where it is sold for billions of dollars.
He mentioned and I quote that “This activities are sponsored and coordinated by top army generals who are of northern extraction”.

2. The top military hierarchy is super corrupt, this is why despite the huge amount budgeted for defense and security in the country, we’re still facing internal security challenges.
They spend huge amount of money on obsolete weapons, second hand weapons.
They buy weapons they don’t need.
The foot soldiers who put their lives in danger for the defense of the country need to be better better equipped.

The things he highlighted are not new to us, he’s just the only one who’s got the balls to say it.

Do you think that Bwala was right after all huh

dre11:
Joining APC Makes the Brain Stop Working’ and 4 More Daniel Bwala Anti-Tinubu Remarks

There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy: hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny. – Frederick William Robertson

Daniel Bwala, a staunch critic of President Tinubu, his administration and the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been seen frolicking with the President in recent days, which has infuriated the public.

For his past statements against the APC, Bwala, who was a spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council during the 2023 elections, has now drawn backlash.

He was an APC member until he defected to the PDP in 2022. He would later cite the ruling party’s Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket as the reason for his exit.

While announcing his decision on X on July 10, 2022, Bwala wrote: “Tonight I officially resigned my membership of @OfficialAPCNg on principles and conviction that I hold so dear. At this time of our national existence, our efforts and energy should gravitate towards uniting our people.”

There are now speculations that he may return to the APC. He held a meeting with President Tinubu on Wednesday “to show appreciation and support for the bold decisions he is taking to deal with the crisis confronting [the] country”, and he revealed that he would support Tinubu without apologies, even if it meant going back to the APC.

Amid ongoing controversies surrounding Bwala’s recent interactions with the President, FIJ revisits five times in the past when he criticised the APC-led administration.

‘EVEN IF YOU GIVE TINUBU 30 YEARS, NOTHING WILL WORK‘

On December 25, 2023, Bwala expressed scepticism about President Tinubu’s ability to deliver within his four-year term. He argued that waiting for significant changes under Tinubu’s administration might not be feasible.

Bwala said, “When people talk about being patient and waiting, you have to look at the time frame the public officer is expected to execute the work. The President has just been voted into a term of four years. He is eight months into the term, which constitutes 31.8 percent of the total time that he has. He has less than 70 percent time in government; when is that going to happen? When President Buhari took over in 2015, it was the same language, and we patiently followed and he finished the first term and finished the second term. When there is a fundamental problem with policy, time is irrelevant; 30 years, it will not work.”

‘JOINING APC MAKES THE HUMAN BRAIN STOP WORKING’

Bwala made a post on X in November 2022: “The human brain is unique and miraculous. It works and functions optically 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, until you join APC, then it stops working.”

Since his post resurfaced on Thursday amid his unabashed declaration of support for the APC, Bwala’s cognitive abilities have been questioned by Nigerians.

An X user with the handle @chymaker wrote, “His brain stopped working.”

Another X user @Morris_Monye, wrote, “There’s something wrong with this man’s brain.”

“Your brain didn’t take that long to stop working. Either you forgot to go for an annual checkup or your network is not as strong as you think. Whatever the case is, learn to clean your mouth,” wrote @Gary_Mazi

Without emotions...
Mining Engineer understands this thing...

Oil is treated that what is because people stealing it are not stealing it from the underground, they don't invest resources to bring it out, they only stole it when someone has invested millions of dollars to drill and pump...

But for solid minerals I can go and extract it directly from the ground myself


That is the difference.

One you are taking directly from the ground without being registered the other one you are taking what someone has invested billions in

That issue of checking military spending is something that will never see the light of day so long as our politicians keep their fear of the military alive. If Nigerians know how much is stolen under the military every day we go just begin cry, the government suspects but are too scared to do jack about it.
