Okay, i guess this is why the president couldn't visit the actual scene of the Jos carnage; he needed to get back yo Lagos for his attire measurement by the special fanti tailor. To think that he's a Muslim, must he always go back everytime there's a celebration or holiday huh

The North can continue killing itself thinking that they are fighting Tinubu, we are partying in Lagos.

Chief of Army Staff is from Middle Belt
Chief of Naval Staff is from the North
Minister of Defence is a Southern Kaduna Christian
Minister of State for Defence is a former Zamfara governor
National Security Adviser is from Adamawa

Yet they are cannot secure their people, you now want Tinubu to carry juju to go and fight bandits

The State that the president comes from is holding a festival in the midst of terror attacks, deaths, bloodshed, pain and agony in Plateau and other parts of the country.

A senseless timing of an event, all in a bid to give the false impression that Lagos ls a great tourist destination.
Lagos is for business. The layout, environment and attitude of the populace etc are not too conducive for tourism.

But when Muslims close the road for just 15 minutes the internet stands and refuses to sit.

Which distraction? Distraction from what?

This is just to keep the Brazilian culture alive for coming generations. The people of Brazil and the Brazilian Embassy in Nigeria will also note that their descendants in Nigeria have not forgotten their culture.

They are using Terrorism and Banditry to create problems which enables third party to open door to US using religious blackmailing. What this had done is to distract the government from various developmental agenda. One of such is Brazil Nigeria cooperations agenda.

We need direct flights from Brazil to Nigeria. Brazil have developed expertise in Automobile, Aviation and Agriculture and Football. We need to reenact cultural and trade ties with Brazil for developmental purposes.

President Tinubu has visited Brazil often before the christian persecution propaganda and blackmailing caused distraction. At the same time while US was using Christian persecution against Nigeria, US was using the persecution of the Whites in South Africa against South Africa.

Nigeria and South Africa are the two major Black Nations in Africa and the World and both countries are being distracted by US. Nigeria must continue to pursue closer relationship with Brazil.

They did this last Christmas to cushion/mask the obvious Empty lagos they witnessed. Lagos was so dry that even agberos and cultist marred the celebrations by infighting and shooting each other.

Immediately they saw the fiasco they abandoned it instantly.

Now, they have launched another one to create a sense of pomp and pagentry where people will still be robbed by the same people they use to rig elections and fight opposition.

The best carnival in Nigeria is still the Calabar Carnival and no matter the propaganda used to push this sham...it won't fly.

It's NOT NIGERIA..

Yoruba should continue looking for synergy with Brazil.

Just as you keep quiet when the North seeks synergy with Yemen, but start ranting and raving when..

IGBOs seek alignment with Israel.

Just enjoy your very Stale Replica of carnival fun. Even your attachment to the Nottingham Catnival in UK has been discovered to be useless. Even the Brazilians know that the Calabar Carnival is the BOMB.

So enjoy your weak celebrations in peace and when talking synergy with Brazil, Cuba etc etc place your YORUBA AGENDA FIRST. ..dont hide behind NIGERIA.

kolewerk. grin
