Bwala expected to be pampered like they are pampered in Nigeria. Nobody send him papa for foreign media.

It wasn't Ruben Abati and hose other pretenders we have in Nigeria. Bwala was overwhelmed and couldn't remember anything.

From the quote above, Daniel is indirectly telling us a bitter truth about politics.

Never trust anyone who is into politics. They all lack integrity. When I say all, I mean ALL.... Tinubu, Atiku, Peter Obi..etc. All of them lack integrity. They are liars and nothing but foreign puppets fulfilling the wishes and interest of our Neo-colonial masters.

Don't waste your time and energy voting or campaigning for anyone. Your votes don't matter. Your vote doesn't count. Voting gives you nothing but an illusion of choice and nobody cares about you or your choice.

That is why you are all currently battling and will forever continue to battle with Inflation that induces high blood pressure, insecurity and nationwide darkness.

No one has ever cared about you or your vote because at the end of the day, America and Britain have the final say on who will become your president, and whoever they choose, you must accept!
There are still honorable people in politics, but the Nigerian political setting ensures that those people do not see daylight.

Quite ironic how they use prefixes such as honorable.

Bwala made a very big mistake working with balablu bulaba, the same man he insulted and called all manner of names when he was with the opposition party.

No temptation make me take up that job if I were in his shoes.

Allis his past utterances was simply used against him during the interview, there is nothing like opposite style of interview here.

He has been made to stupidly denounce and deny each and everything he said against tinubu in the past.
He has been made to shamefully eat all his vomit.

He may now get the sack.
You think so? I doubt it. He is more concerned about the pecks that comes with it.... like most of them. Integrity and what you others think does not matter. It is all in a day's job.

Be there asking me weird questions.



Or maybe he picked daniel bwala a low IQ Individual to defend him because he doesn't care. At the end of the day, America and Britain will make him to be your president whether you like it or not.

So just REST!

America is the one that will choose your wife whether you don't like it or you hate it..

Re: Bwala Accuses Al Jazeera Of ‘opposition-style Journalism’ by SmartPolician: 8:27pm On Mar 07
If it was Rufai that grilled Daniel the way Hasan grilled him, the whole interview would've turned to something else. Weak Nigerian media is pampering and spoiling our politicians.
Re: Bwala Accuses Al Jazeera Of ‘opposition-style Journalism’ by Chegesnd: 8:29pm On Mar 07
How else do you explain Gross Incompetency!
This shameless truant went to Al Jazeera and disgraced himself and the govt he speaks for.
Now he has come back to blame the opposition for their ineptitude.
If the interview was carried out by Rufai Oseni, they would have called him unprintable names.

This is one of them. But they didn't force Bwala for the interview.

Try and exercise ur brain once in a while.

This bwala guy no just get sense at all. I felt embarrassed watching the interview. This country has become a laughing stock. He kept denying his own words even when evidence was there. This APC is just filled with people of questionable character.
Re: Bwala Accuses Al Jazeera Of ‘opposition-style Journalism’ by AMINDA: 8:34pm On Mar 07
At this point, it's safe to say that Daniel Bwala is working for Atiku.

Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, has accused Al Jazeera of practising what he called ‘opposition-style journalism’ after his interview on “Head to Head” took him to task over his past comments against President Bola Tinubu.

On the programme hosted by Mehdi Hasan, which examined Tinubu’s administration under the theme “Nigeria: ‘Renewed Hope’ or ‘Hopelessness’?”, Bwala was confronted with past quotes, video clips, and statements from his time in the opposition – when he was aligned with former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.

The interview went viral, to which Bwala responded in a statement.

In the statement, Bwala stressed that he remained “prepared to appear before any interviewer, anywhere in the world, any day and at any time, to defend this government and its policies.”

He said ‘Head to Head’ contacted him requesting an interview to challenge Tinubu’s government on security, the economy, and corruption.

However, he noted, “Nowhere in our almost six months of communication did they mention that they were going to challenge my past. If that had been their plan, ethically and professionally, they were supposed to inform me so I could prepare my response.


“But that’s okay, ethically, that is on them, not on me. I refused to swallow the pill of Mehdi’s ‘opposition research-style journalism,’ and even today, if you carefully compare what he read as quotes from organisations and groups, you will see that many were inaccurate and some were outright fake news.

“But I will leave that for another day. As for what I said about President Tinubu in the past, I am glad those were things I said when I was in the opposition saddle with such zeal. It is all politics.

“Half of Donald Trump’s cabinet is made up of people who once spoke against him, and quite a number of people in our own cabinet also spoke against President Tinubu in the past. Those things do not bother him if you care to know.


“The majority of the naysayers are members of the opposition and their sympathisers. It does not bother me one bit.

“Their temporary excitement over the interview has not lasted and will not last, because it does not take away their obvious problem of lack of vision, mission in conducting and managing a political party; yet they seek to manage Nigeria.

“Clearly they have no path to victory and no alternative policies or program for the Nigerian people. And if they say they do, they can as well go to head to head and be interrogated on that; as the saying in Hausa goes ‘Ga fili Ga doki'”.

If all Nigerian politicians lack integrity, do some lack it more than others?

For example, PDP politicians who gave us 16 years of widespread prosperity with cheap petrol, less inflation as well as peace and security without heavy debt burden.

Do they have more integrity than APC progreThieves who promised us better change but they have made everything worse huh

Oga just resign, you have shown the world that you lack any form of intelligence.
The thing is many people in the world will believe people like Bwala are the best of us. This is indeed the worst time to be a Nigerian

Their Renewed Hope has been confirmed as Renewed Hopelessness 😀😀😀. You thought you were on TVC or one of the other puppet Nigerian media houses.....una go explain tire grin grin grin
That interview was a real miscalculation on their path, the party felt one of it's attack bulldogs (Bwala) would be able to cower Medhi Hassan like they tried on Arise TV but they got it so wrong, it was a knock out blow and confirmed Bwala's own submissions when he was an opposition undecided undecided undecided undecided

This man is a joke!
You think you'd go to such a platform to get your ego massaged like they do on Channels?
I thought you did your research about Head to Head?
Even Mehdi was asking you what you really were researching about all weekend...
To be honest, I can't describe the utter shame and embarrassment I felt as a Nigerian watching the full interview.
Pathetic.

Did Babangida do something similar to Tai Solarin and Wole Soyinka?

Perhaps Abacha is being vilified for not playing that game with people like Tinubu who was ready to throw MKO under the bus huh

anonimi:
My dad, victim of complex conspiracy – Kola Abiola

What role did Bola Tinubu play in all of these?

At the very beginning, he was part of the Yar’Adua PF group from Jos. He was a senator then, and as far as the group went, we related. The crisis started post-election. When Abacha came, one of the things he wanted to do was to be the administrator for Lagos.

That is Tinubu?

Yes. I am sure you have seen pictures of him and my dad. He was hoping that there would be civilian administrators like we had under IBB but Abacha said no, that he was going to have military administrators. So he (Tinubu) said okay, in that case, can I be a deputy administrator? But Abacha said that there wouldn’t be deputies. Then he wanted the post of a commissioner.

He wanted to be a commissioner?

Yes. Then it was a choice between him and someone very close to Jakande who has passed on now. I can’t remember his name, but because Babagana was already in the government, that guy was picked as commissioner. But really, Senator Tinubu had lost out already.

Was Tinubu very close to MKO?

Yes, he was close enough. He and Adeniyi Adele, a very good guy, were close to my father. In fact, Adeniyi was closer to my father and more dedicated to the process than anyone of them. When my documentary comes out, you will see Tinubu’s take on issues. So once he lost out, automatically, he became a NADECO member and Adeniyi was incarcerated.
