That has always been his plan but he wouldn’t have gotten it.

Former President, late Umaru Musa Yar'Adua was the greatest president Nigeria ever had… But I will tell you for free that PDP had an agenda.

Late Musa Yar’Adua was loved by Nigerians, I mean he was the only president that reduced the prices of goods and commodities for Nigerians to have a better living but there was an agenda behind all these.

Obasanjo wanted to use Late Musa Yar’Adua to pass the bill the return back to office to finish the 3rd term tenure just like how Donald Trump did for his 2nd term.. But Yar’adua sudden death couldn't allow Obasanjo accomplished his mission.

By the time Yar’Adua pass the 3rd term bill to the senate, nobody would have been able to stop him because we all could see he was doing a great job.

What would make anyone want to join you in validating Lugard’s opinion about us a century ago

GeneralOuki:
Lugard was a full time racist and a monster. He never had anything good to say about Africans and especially Nigerians, he hated the people of Southern Nigeria particularly for their ability to quickly learn and compete with their British counterparts within the colonial government.

A Man who believed that teaching the English language to the locals would cause a deformity in our dentition, He should get the hel out !

Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.

According to the Greeks, they are three types of people on Earth,
1. The idiots,
2. The tribesmen, and
3. The citizens.

Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens.
The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.

1. When the Greeks used the word "Idiot", they did not use it as a curse word.
Idiots are people who just don’t care.
If they sit for exams, they will cheat.
If they are in government they will steal.

An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.

IDIOTS won't attend monthly neighborhood meetings. They won't pay security dues. They won't contribute to community development. Even when they see or know about something that will harm others in the community they won't report it. When they see/know/have something that will benefit their community they won't share.

In fact, Idiots don't care to register for or vote in an election, yet they complain the most. If they register to vote, IDIOTS will sell their votes for peanuts.

According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.

2. The next set of people are "Tribesmen", these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.

These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe.
It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.

When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion, gang membership, group membership, party membership and even cult membership as a tribe.

A great percentage of Africans are tribesmen, because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes. They trust only their tribesmen

3. The last group are "Citizens".
These are people who like to do things the right way.
They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.

They drive within speed limits.
They respect the laws, and won’t cheat in exams.
In government, they won’t steal.
They are compassionate and give to others to promote their well-being.

Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone.
The Greeks called this group "The Citizens".

Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots, others have so many idiots.

A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation.
And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law.

But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed.

Where do you belong? Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen? Reflect on your life.
Reflect about your immediate community, city, state and nation.

What hypocrisy of a tribalistic people complaining about racists !!!

GeneralOuki:
I don't get where you're driving at. Lugard was a racist, it was so extreme that a British MP had to express dissatisfaction at his use of words and actions in the protectorates of Nigeria, this is years after the parliament have called in question his methods of acquiring treatises with the locals for the Royal Niger company.

Just because Nigerians can be tribalistic does not in any way excuse the fact that Lugard was a racist with a supremacist ideology.

You as an African should not beat yourself down just because you want to give credence to the words of a white racist like Lugard who oversaw series of genocide during the colonial wars.

IYABO OBASOJO LETTER TO HER FATHER


Master’s and the other is an engineer. They
are no slouches. Education provided a way to make our way in the world.

You are one of those petty people who think the progress and success of another takes from you. You try to overshadow everyone around you, before you and after you. You are the prototypical “Mr. Know it all”. You’ve never said “I don’t know” on any topic, ever. Of course this means you surround yourself with idiots who will agree with you on anything and need you for financial gain and you need them for your insatiable ego. This your attitude is a reflection of the country. It is not certain which came first, your attitude seeping into the country’s psyche or the country accepting your irresponsible behavior for so long.

Like you and your minions, it’s a symbiotic relationship. Nigeria has descended into a hellish reality where smart, capable people to “survive” and have their daily bread prostrate to imbeciles. Everybody trying to pull everybody else down with greed and selfishness — the only traits that gets you anywhere. Money must be had and money and power is king. Even the supposed down-trodden agree with this.

No, we were more active then. Would he have dissolved the National Assembly?

If IBB, Abdulsalami, Danjuma, Atiku, Nnamani, the Senate, the Reps, the Governors, the Judges etc tell the Army not to listen to him, the Army would refuse to lock up the National Assembly. And that is also the end of his government.

How does his racism and our tribalism affect the truth about the lack of interest in knowledge and history by us, which is why this discussion started

GeneralOuki:
Here in Nigeria only we have noble laureates, respectable individuals in both art and science doing wonders and even achieving more than their counterparts in the global stage.

Lugard was a fool, propagandist, dubious genocidal monster with supremacist ideology, his words should thrown to the trash can where it rightfully belongs.

The migrant crisis in Libya and the Nigeria experience

The drive for survival and for greener pastures has continued to force millions of West African young men and women to gamble with death in attempts to cross over to Europe and other parts of the world. This quest to escape poverty, hunger, unemployment and insecurity, among other reasons, caused a major segment of Nigeria’s population to seek alternatives for better livelihood prospects for themselves and their families.

Those seeking economic survival see irregular migration as the best alternative, given the difficulty and resources involved in migrating through regular and legitimate routes. In many instances, very few of the original number who set out on these dangerous journeys live to tell their stories. While many regularly drown in the Mediterranean Sea, many also die in the deserts, and others are sold as slaves in a modern slave market.

Most of the victims of this trade are from West Africa. Many of them leave home with expectations of getting to Europe and other destinations perceived to have better economic prospects for them, but they end up in the slave merchant nets in North Africa. The victims are put in camps and sold in open markets in Libya, while the international community watches in silence. The geographical location of Libya renders it a transit route for migrants journeying to Italy and many other parts of Europe.

If our scientists are doing wonders here in our country, then why are we exporting ourselves and our meagre resources to Lugard’s country despite all what you call them?



PANDORA PAPERS: Buhari visited Tinubu in corruption-tainted London villa acquired by Oyetola

Governor Oyetola, a relative of Mr Tinubu, may have sabotaged his own country by buying the exotic property as Nigeria made to seize it.
ByNicholas IbekweandTaiwo-Hassan Adebayo October 7, 2021 in Headline Stories, Pandora Papers Reading Time: 8 mins read

It was a meeting of two of Nigeria’s most influential politicians in London – President Muhammadu Buhari was visiting political kingmaker and senior member of his ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.

In July, the presidency announced that Mr Buhari was heading to London for an education summit. The office also added that the president would also see his doctors for “medical check-up”.

Coincidentally, Mr Tinubu, who had travelled to London earlier, was also receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment in the British capital. So, a perfect setting for both men to meet was created.

This is the kind of old man some people what me to see as an hero.

DeepSight:
Not a hero, but believe you me, when he dies, he will stand next to the founding fathers of this country as one of the biggest colossus ever to walk this land. He will be immortalized and I will be surprised if his image doesnt get onto future Naira notes, as bad as he was.
