[quote author=Pharaoh350s post=88622449]Now I see why you got that appointment
But is like am understanding something new, all these people in government are in one way or the other done things together.
Sha, am gonna do the same to my friend

Before I forget,do you mean a Muslim in a Christian wedding ( am not a religion bigot, but let be realistic)
He might be saying the truth duo
[/q

So many lessons to learn from this narrative.
1. Now it is obvious that the nairaland tribal war is unnecessary and profits no man. An Igbo man getting married to a Yoruba woman and a Kanuri man as the best man.
2. Social networking is an essential part of life.Especially with the right people. Although Onyema is well qualified for the job, there are so many others as well but somehow something made him to stand out,which in this case has to to do with his previous connection with old school mate. Such is life. Let's pray .
3. If you have the means ,try and invest on yourself now. You don't know when the opportunity will come.
My personal opinion though.

I do not Believe in all these ! It's After someone dies that we begin to hear all this stories of he was this or that!

Abba Kayari was Extremely Powerful in this dispensation! Infact He was the De-Facto President

The Unnecessary Killings All around the Country went on Abated because people like him refused to take the Neccessary actions..

The Ungodly and unholy disgrace of Justice Onnegen and the subsequent appointment of the Present Chief Justice was a well coordinated stuff with Abba kyari as the head.

Abba kyari cannot be said to be innocent of the Supreme Court Magic that brought about the Onnegen saga... 2 of them involved in that have gone and were buried the same day . ( Aliyu Umar SAN and Abba kyari). April 17th and April 18th. It is not Ordinary. " Vengeance is Mine says the LORD"

Aliyu Umar SAN was the prosecutor at the Code of Conduct Tribunal. He got an ex parte order from the CCT, and quickly sent it to Abba Kyari who immediately sent it to Buhari for approval of Onnoghen's removal.

It's Exactly A year Anniversary of that sham and both of them are 6ft below ..

The Fulani Herdsmen killings and free way was a highly coordinated asssignnent! Abba Kyari cannot be said to not know!

Even when it was clear that the service chiefs have been Overwhelmed! The Service Chiefs were kept there..

Abba kyari cannot be said to be innocent of the Supreme Court Magic that brought about the Onnegen saga... 2 of them involved in that have gone .( Aliyu Umar SAN and Abba kyari). April 17th and April 18th


The One sided Security Appointments in the Country is a well planned idea..

Let's stop all these talk of The late CSO being for the Nigerian project! I cannot take that!

Abba kyari was loyal to his boss - Yes

Abba kyari was given to the Fulani Course- Yes


I Better be loyal to GOD ALMIGHTY and Godly Principles in discharging my Duty than be loyal to a Man


Abba Kyari has Gone to Answer to GOD .











Is either you're Igbo or a Christian

What i have learnt here is the importance of keeping friendship. No need saying he was the man who influenced the minister's reappointment into Buhari second cabinet that was highly selective. Is a pity that some people don't value friendship. RIP Abba

It is significant that the public officer from the East of the Niger would write so glowingly about Abba Kyari.

There is no tribalism in protecting personal interest. Those at the top always know how to defend one another.

The masses are the ones disorganized.

That is the lesson.
Same way FFK spoke so much about the deceased on AIT yesterday. A lot of encomiums.

He is a stakeholder in the system and privy to happenings within.
Perhaps Onyeama judgment might have been beclouded by the good relationship and gestures he obviously enjoyed.
Anyway, you can't please everybody but time shall tell.
The lesson here is that, by and by death will come to us, be careful what you do or how you treat people today, because people will use that to Judge and talk about you when you gone.

Even though you may not believe this,MANY Northerners both educated and uneducated tend to have independent opinions.
You will be surprised to hear what bad things some Northerners say about Buhari even though the majority still consider him faultless. There is no disconnect my friend.

which means he married very late for him to best man Onyeama's wedding.
BTW, from some sources, Onyeama has the temerity; Abba recommended him to Buhari.

Some questions on my mind: I sighted the chopper that brought his body on Thursday around 5pm. Why didnt the said chopper fly straight to Maiduguri his country home for a befitting African burial?
Gudu cemetery looks so desolate and quite unkempt , quite unbefitting of a man in Abba's status. If you argue that that Muslims do not accord much reverence to their dead I will prove you quite wrong in a thousand ways. And mind you that burial was a mere formality. Kemi Olunloyo may not be completely right but guys wake up and ask necessary questions. How many policemen, soldiers or NCDC personnel did you see enforcing the social distancing rules and stuff like that at the burial site. Brethren, a man in Abba's status cannot be buried that way and secondly, the Federal Government would be heavily involved with substantial security and health paraphenelia. If Abba's corona stricken body was flown into abuja, come on what we saw as burial was just a cloak. Again the secrecy sorrounding his treatment until death was quite uncalled for. Both Prince Charles and Boris Johnsons' treatments where made known to the public till they gained full recovery. And then he will die on Friday and get hurried on Friday because he's a Muslim? Common guys think again.

There are then further facts deducible from all these. He died a while ago and his body was cremated in utmost secrecy. They looked at the implication of letting the public know this and realized it would be absolutely misunderstood despite the health necessity and decided to form a phoney burial at Gudu cemetery.

Let's look at Gudu cemetery bit. I often pass this cemetery each time I am going to Apo mechanic village to do my car and always wondered the caliber of people that are buried there. I then became curious. I found out that even top military personnel are not buried there alone a man in Abba's status. They cemetery has got no ornamental plants or plaques containing epitaphs or beautiful tomb demarcations just like Ikoyi cemetery where ordinary Da Grin was buried.

Did you see the ambulance and moto cade and how professional the burial men on PPE were, with a Federal Government corpse? A top government functionary in Abba's status that died in active service? No No performance of any national ritual like presentation of writ or adornment with national flag as would be done for a private soldier that died in the line of duty? Guys we are not dumb! Then what sort of grave was that? Were they bury in a stillborn child whose mother also died in tedious labour?

I will stop here. May Abba rest well wherever he is!

You are confused, Abba Kyari was not a military man and cannot be buried in military cemetery. Military cemeteries emerged from the British colonial system and not from Islamic or traditional systems.

Since you already have a mindset , you will find conspiracy theories more believable than the account given by people who know him for over 40 years.

One obvious thing is that in positions of power are all connected somehow. Irrespective of tribe or religion. Breaking into their circle is not easy.

Quite telling that people who enjoyed high quality foreign education haven't done much to improve Nigeria. Most have stellar CV but mediocre showing in public office.

I guess the weird structure and power game of Nigeria makes brilliant people unproductive in government.

I still don’t get why they are all writing good stuff about him now. When he was alive and being maligned/misrepresented, none of them spoke up in his defense.

I’m not a political appointee of the current government but I have taken it upon myself in my own little way to counter the fake narrative and propaganda of those who see nothing good in the president and his government. I’m not doing this because I believe the president is perfect - far from it. I’m doing this because I’m convinced it’s better to dwell on the positives and criticize the negatives constructively and not destructively.

So, I find it very untenable when I see direct appointees not speaking out early enough when issues are been misrepresented. What Onyeama wrote about Abba Kyari, particularly the clarification of the MTN money would have made lots of sense some 3 or 4 years ago instead of after his death. Sadly, they all allowed the social media mob to silence them.

You are intelligent














But just one problem stay away from tribal bashing

Godfrey Oyeama only comes out to paint a good image of a man who behind some of the things that are happening in the country. What else would he say about his fellow party man?

And what's the big deal about the removal of Onnoghen? Was Onnoghen a saint?

Removal of Onnoghen was purely a political game which ended with a winner (APC) and a loser (PDP). Justice Onnoghen was a politician undeniably affiliated with the PDP. The APC saw him as a stumbling block and had to get rid of him. Just as you've revealed, the political wits of Abba Kyari was deployed, dirt was found on Onnoghen, and he was summarily set aside (just politics, nothing personal).

PDP seems to still be licking their wounds over that loss, trying hard to make it seem like it was a loss for Nigeria and not just a PDP loss.

Why is it that Nigeria is still underdeveloped? Do you guys learn things that are different from what the white folks learnt?
