Nairaland / General / Total Shutdown Of Oando Filling Station At Alapere, Lagos by rexoluj(m): 7:50pm On Mar 25, 2015 |
Hi Nairalanders, I have noticed for the past two days a total shot down and desertation of the Oando filling station located along the 3rd mainland bridge while approaching Alapere junction. The look and feel of that part of the road is so unusual, I believe even if there is unavailability of fuel to dispense, the station cannot be this deserted. Does anyone know the reason for this unusual closure? I hope its not related to the upcoming elections... #SayNoToViolence |

Politics / Building The Nation, The Nigeria Perspective by rexoluj(m): 10:48pm On Mar 20, 2015 |
Today I did my share in building the nation. I drove a Permanent Secretary to an important, urgent function In fact, to a luncheon at the Vic. The menu reflected its importance Cold bell beer with small talk, Then fried chicken with niceties Wine to fill the hollowness of the laughs Ice-cream to cover the stereotype jokes Coffee to keep the PS awake on the return journey. I drove the Permanent Secretary back. He yawned many times in back of the car Then to keep awake, he suddenly asked, Did you have any lunch friend? I replied looking straight ahead And secretly smiling at his belated concern That I had not, but was slimming! Upon which he said with a seriousness That amused more than annoyed me, Mwananchi, I too had none! I attended to matters of state. Highly delicate diplomatic duties you know, And friend, it goes against my grain, Causes me stomach ulcers and wind. Ah, he continued, yawning again, The pains we suffer in building the nation! So the PS had ulcers too! My ulcers I think are equally painful Only they are caused by hunger, Not sumptuous lunches! So two nation builders Arrived home this evening With terrible stomach pains The result of building the nation-in different ways!" BUILDING THE NATION - Henry Barlow According to the poet, people in the upper class are hypocrites. Their role is to build the nation but they are like pests, who exist only to abuse national resources. They are not building the nation but their own stomachs, the poet says. There is no equality. The poor suffer from lack while the rich and politicians suffer from overfeeding. The good news is that there is a high level of awareness among the poor. The bitter and angry tone, irony and choice of words by the persona shows that those who are oppressed know that those who are on top are destroying the nation. This is important as the first step towards emancipation and development. |

Politics / 9 Year Old Donates Her Lunch Money For Buhari's Campaign by rexoluj(m): 7:20pm On Mar 19, 2015 |
A Nine year old girl, Nicole Eniiyi Benson, has publicly read the letter she wrote to the All Progressive Congress (APC) on the sum of about 6,000 naira she donated to the Presidential campaign team of the party as her token for a successful campaign for Gen. Muhammadu Buhari come March 28th, 2015. In a letter the little girl wrote and officially read during the Buhari interactive session with women in Lagos, explained how she saved up her lunch money given to her by her mother just help support the GMB campaign because she feels that the time has come for the much needed change. In her letter, she wrote thus; Dear APC and governor Fashola, My name is Nicole Benson. I am 9 years old. The name of my school is Green Springs School Lekki campus and I am in year 4 peters. I want to be a doctor when I grow up so that I can take care of people who are sick and dying because they take care of me when I am sick. Governor Fashola and APC I was listening to the radio on my way to school today and I heard that we can send money to you to help you to win the election. My mummy said that I can donate from N100 so that we can help APC to raise the money to win the election and remove president Goodluck Jonathan so that Mr Buhari and professor Osinbajo can be the new president and assistant president and be able to help Nigeria to fight the Boko Haram people who are killing innocent children and also bring back the Chibok girls so that their mummies and daddies can be happy. Governor Fashola and APC, please don't you think that N100 is too small? I have the new N100 notes but I am sorry I will not be able to give it to you because I only have one and I want to keep it in my wallet. But I have N5,785 that I saved from my lunch money and pocket money and tooth fairy money. I know it's my mummy giving the tooth fairy the money to give me because I found my tooth in her wallet last year. and I want to give you all my money that I saved so that you can win in February. I have N5785 naira and also N8 but the N8 is in coins and it's only in Shoprite that they gave me so I want to go and spend it there. I wanted to buy my inhaler disk but my daddy has bought another new one for me. I have given my mummy the money and she put it on her card to pay it on your website and she paid it now. I wish I could get more money for you but that will be next week when I get more lunch money from my daddy and tooth fairy can't give me any more money because all my teeth have all grown back. I can still save more money for you and give you in February. Please help me give some of the money to Mr Ambode too so that he can win Mr Jimmy Agbaje. I like Mr Ambode very much. I wish you Goodluck not Goodluck Jonathan but best of luck and please you can call my mummy's number if you need me to send the money I want to save for you. But you will have to give me some time to save it. Please say hello to Mr Ambode Mr Buhari and professor Osinbajo for me.

Politics / FACT: It Was PDP That Promised To Make Nigeria Ungovernable In 2011, Not Buhari by rexoluj(m): 8:34pm On Feb 10, 2015 |
For the record and your information, I, the author am definitely never PDP, but I am not APC either. I will only support the best human beings from whichever party they emanate. I am totally not a political animal; I am averse to democratic politics. The only party I ascribe to as yet and have invested thought and finance in is SNP. So for those taken to lies and slander, you can call me a paid whatever and APC author all you care, you will know deep inside that you do not even succeed in fooling yourself. My people, have never been in power, and I do not care and ever see power coming to my people. Now let’s proceed. There are several important points to be presented here. Best highlighted: 1. Major General Muhammadu Buhari never said he will make Nigeria ungovernable in 2011 in any public format 2. It was a PDP politician, Alhaji Lawal Kaita who actually said Nigeria would be ungovernable if Jonathan became president in 2011. 3. It was Jonathan’s media spokesman, Reuben Abati who sat down and largely concocted the slanderous libel against Buhari’s name in April 2011. 4. General Muhammadu Buhari took Reuben Abati to court for damaging his name. 5. The Jonathan Presidency begged Major General Buhari to settle the case with Reuben Abati and the Guardian out of court. 6. General Buhari obliged and settled out of court. Reuben Abati with The Guardian published an unreserved apology to Buhari in the Guardian of 11 July, 2013. 7. Late General Azazi referred to the PDP “ungovernable” crises and anger that did actually lead to Boko Haram terror franchise hired by the PDP. These are amazing facts which I have been shocked to discover since I paid attention to this matter. To imagine that the PDP can know that Buhari never made this statement and that they (the PDP Presidency) begged and apologized for it, yet all they did was kept Reuben silent and threw out other canines, Metuh and co, to continue right where Reuben stopped, is some of the most sick and evil stuff one can encounter or ever imagine. All this against the elderly, respectable General, because they see it as a fancy tool to generate animosity against their strongest single adversary… as a tool to hold on to power? It is one thing to fabricate a lie against someone. It is another thing to transplant an evil of your doing unto a person who you know is innocent. That is the most evil, evil in the books in my humble view. This precisely is what PDP did and continues to do. Buhari was nearly bombed to death and the dogs continue to utter their putrid trash and invented slanderous concoctions against the poor elderly gentleman. It is frankly satanic. He is such a compassionate gentleman, no joke, if it was me who had all the facts you will read below, I would have been all over the place letting the truth be known and getting the slanderous liars locked up forever. A Timeline of Lies and Slander: Major General Muhammadu Buhari never said he will make Nigeria ungovernable in 2011 in any public format Point number one needs no referencing. I’ve done the research tons of times. Since I wrote my article, “Now that Nigeria is ungovernable, what next,” on the 15 of March, 2014 [ http://ends.ng/?p=679 ], no one has commented and refuted my results. Buhari never in any public media threatened to make Nigeria ungovernable in 2011. That is final fact. Nothing more need be said. It was a PDP politician, Alhaji Lawal Kaita who actually said Nigeria would be ungovernable if Jonathan became president in 2011. It was a PDP politician, Alhaji Lawal Kaita, who is quoted to have said, “The North is determined if it happens, to make Nigeria ‘ungovernable’ for President Jonathan or any other Southerner who finds his way to the seat of power on the platform of the PDP against the principle of the party’s zoning policy.” The big problem was in PDP. When Yar’Adua died, PDP northern politicians wanted power to stay in the north and as such they insisted that Jonathan should not succeed him. It was PDP politicians and only PDP politicians who threatened to make Nigeria ungovernable if Jonathan emerged the party nominee and ascended to the presidency that will make the nation ungovernable, which they did. And Jonathan knew this and know them full well. He eats and dines with them but has watched us die in our thousands and lose our farming land and livelihood whole he has not brought a single one of them to book. He protects and goes to bed with them so long as they focus the ungovernability on the north. One now understand why Jonathan’s best man, former PDP Chairman and now appointed Railway head, Bamanga Tukur famously said that Boko Haram was fighting for justice and another name for justice. It’s an in house thing. Boko Haram became an invaluable tool to be hired and utilized by the party, and to be sustained as a weapon of slander against party opponents. It helped to galvanize votes by nurturing strange harmony in extremists and religious fanatics, especially northophobes who never cared to study the truth. (Truths like- northerners select southerners like Obasanjo or support Middle Belt Christians like Gowon into power; and truth like; why will northerners bomb up their own home-land and purposely destroy their chief resource – farming – to make a point). It was Jonathan’s media spokesman, Reuben Abati who sat down and largely concocted the slanderous libel against Buhari’s name in April 2011. It was Reuben Abati of The Guardian; that our friend, that spun the yarn about Buhari. It was Reuben that sat one dark night and concocted the malicious slanderous tales, rerouting the PDP terror statement to Buhari’s person. Reuben capitalized on our sectarianism, knowing full well that to most of us, one Hausa, or Fulani man was just the same as another Hausa or Fulani(to be more correct) man. Knowing that we had heard the statement made by PDP’s Kaita, and with Buhari’s “Baboon and Gorilla” Hausa adage with which he did promise that if what happened in 2011 repeated in 2015 (note the year), the Nigeria would witness a people’s upheaval; Reuben manufactured a tale one April night in 2011 and published this in the Guardian. It was captioned, “For the attention of general Buhari.” This was the article that was well buffered to make many careless Nigerians jump on the evil and satanic bandwagon of Buhari accusers. I have again fully well described Reuben for who he is and what he did and how he did it, in the recent past. See: “Reuben Abati: Nigeria’s Most Evil Genius?” [ http://ends.ng/?p=1252 ] General Muhammadu Buhari took Reuben Abati to court for damaging his name. Of course, like anyone of us would, Buhari did not fancy this and he promised to take Reuben and the Guardian to court, and he did. Buhari took them to court for libel and slander. ‘Usual suspect’ General Muhammadu Buhari’s lawyers threatened to sue the President of Nigeria’s spokesperson, Reuben Abati in a letter sent on the 11th of July, 2011 for “inventing libelous” allegations against the person of the ex-President, accusing him of instigating post-election violence. The letter was sent on behalf of General Buhari by Harrison Ogalagu for his lawyer, Tope Adebayo. The accusations had been made against him in Rueben’s Guardian newspaper publication. [See: Post Election Violence: Buhari Threatens To Sue Reuben Abati For Libel; SaharaReporters, Jul, 17 2011] The Jonathan Presidency begged Major General Buhari to settle the case with Reuben Abati and the Guardian out of court. This is hard to believe but true. It was in all major news media. The Jonathan Presidency did beg General Muhammadu Buhari to settle out of court. And the noble man that Buhari is; he accepted. When this was happening, many of us read it but did not really realize what matter it was about – that it was about the great tarnishing of General Buhari’s name. It was in different media under the various captions – “Presidency begs Buhari to settle slander case out of court,” in DailyPost [ http:// dailypost.ng/2013/01/13/presidency- begs-buhari-to-settle-slander-case- out-of-court /], and “Presidency Begs Buhari To Settle Abati Libel Suit Out Of Court,” in Leadership, etc. Here’s a quote from leadership: “The presidency has convinced former head of state General Muhammadu Buhari to settle out of court the libel suit he had initiated against the special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Dr Reuben Abati. Abati had on page 51 of the April 22, 2011, edition of The Guardian newspaper, written an opinion article entitled “For the attention of General Buhari”. In it, he claimed that Buhari made an inciting statement which led to the post-election violence that rocked some parts of the north. The former presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), however, regarded the publication as defamatory, intended to lower his integrity and to bring him into public ridicule. Buhari consequently dragged Abati and The Guardian to court via suit no. ID/837/2011 and demanded N1billion damages from them. But in a copy of the Terms of Settlement exclusively obtained by LEADERSHIP SUNDAY and filed before a Lagos High Court in Ikeja, the parties have agreed to settle the matter out of court.” But after begging Buhari to make little of it, Reuben just shut up thereafter and the other Presidencies men went right on with the very same slander. Buhari being the gentleman, in fact over-gentlemanly, that he is, just sits back and watches these young desperate people secure their positions in hell for a little penny. It’s really stunning and terribly sad. General Buhari obliged and settled out of court. Reuben Abati with The Guardian published an unreserved apology to Buhari in the Guardian of 11 July, 2013. And here is the post-settlement publication and retraction by The Guardian and Reuben Abati: GUARDIAN Re: For the attention of General Buhari Thursday, 11 July 2013 00:00 Editor SIR: “On April 22, 2011, The Guardian Newspaper published an article on page 51 titled “For the attention of General Buhari” wherein certain allegations were made against General Muhammadu Buhari’s alleged role in the violence emanating from the elections. The publication was based on information which we believed to be reliable at that time. Since the publication, however, we now have reason to believe that certain parts of the story were not verified to be correct before the publication. We assure General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) GCFR of our highest esteem and regret any distress or embarrassment which the said publication may have caused him.” — Editor http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/ index.php? option=com_content&view=article&id= 126723%3Are-for-the-attention-of- general-buhari- &catid=77%3Aletters&Itemid=613#.Ud 6sCDHgyY4.facebook Late General Azazi referred to the PDP “ungovernable” crises and anger that did actually lead to Boko Haram terror franchise hired by the PDP. Of course, we all remember what made NSA General Andrew Azazi a most-wanted and the things he said before he was killed in that helicopter crash. Andrew Azazi occupied the position of the top security man in Nigeria. No one else will be privy to information on the truth of Boko Haram as the head of nation’s security. Andrew Azazi clearly knew and could not take it. He spilled the beans. And he was martyred for it. Boko Haram died when Yar’Adua destroyed them. That was the end of Boko Haram. What remained was some scampering thugs without path or finance. But as Andrew Azazi explained to us before he was martyred; these rag tags “suddenly got sophistication and finance” as a result of PDP zoning and primary power tussles. In Azazi’s words: “PDP got it wrong from the beginning, from the on-set by saying Mr A can rule, Mr A cannot rule, Mr B can rule, Mr B cannot rule, according to PDP’s convention, rules and regulation and not according to the constitution {applause} and that created the climate for what has manifest itself, this way. I believe that there is some element of politicization. Is it possible that somebody was thinking that only Mr. A could win, and if he did not win, there will be problems in this society. Let’s examine all these issues to see whether the level of violence in the North East just escalated because Boko Haram suddenly became better trained, better equipped and better funded, and in any case how did they get it all done…” May General Andrew Owoye Azazi;s soul rest in perfect peace. We will surely avenge his death in the Lords Mighty name. Amen. Truth is, – everyone at the top knows these things. All the politicians on both sides of the aisle know the truth; it is only you and I, the masses who have been taken for a ride here and of course, it is only us who die… well, Buhari almost did. What a shame it would have been had he passed before most of us realized what he had and is being subjected to and are able to seek his forgiveness for participating in the wicked lies against him. These are the facts. Everyone is invited to join this discussion and contribute what they know, so the truth can finally be clearly revealed and the guilty can be shamed while the innocent can be begged for forgiveness while they are still here with us. Let the devil be the liar. “ Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their lips .” – Romans 3:13 Dr. Peregrino Brimah; http:// ENDS.ng [Every Nigerian Do Something] Email: drbrimah@ends.ng Twitter: @EveryNigerian |
Sports / At Least 40 Dead In Clashes At Football Game In Cairo by rexoluj(m): 12:19am On Feb 09, 2015 |
At least 40 people have been killed and dozens injured in clashes between police and supporters of Egypt's Zamalek football club at a game in Cairo, medics say. Police used tear gas to disperse the football fans during Sunday's clashes at an army-owned stadium in the city's northeast. The Egyptian Interior Ministry said that the clashes occurred after supporters of Zamalek, known as Ultras White Knights, tried to attend the game without buying tickets. But according to fans, authorities only opened up one narrow barbed-wire door into the stadium, sparking the incident. "This was bound to happen," Abdul Musa, a football journalist based in London, told Al Jazeera. "They [Ultras] have been threatening to cause violence in recent events. That's why there was a lot of police force today in Cairo." Musa said Ultras - "some of the fiercest fans in Africa" who are known for violent riots - were banned from entering the stadium on Sunday. "They were not allowed to go in. They tried to force their way in and police reacted violently," he said. Following the incident, the Egyptian government said it had decied to postpone the Premier League until further notice. Previous deadly match In February 2012, a riot broke out at a match in Port Said, where the home Al-Masry fans attacked Cairo's Al-Ahly supporters with explosives, knives and broken glass. At least 72 Al-Ahly supporters were killed and more than 500 people injured. After that incident, the interim Egyptian government banned domestic league football for two years. Last month, Al-Ahly and Al-Masry faced each other in the first game since the 2012 riot. Ultras, who are known for challenging authority, supported the Egyptian revolution in 2011, joining other Egyptians calling for change. Ultras have often clashed with security forces at matches. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2015/02/deadly-clashes-zamalek-football-game-cairo-150208184916816.html |
Politics / INEC Postpones 2015 General Elections by rexoluj(m): 11:06pm On Feb 07, 2015 |
The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC has postponed the 2015 General elections in Nigeria by six weeks. The new dates as announced by the Commission chairman, Professor Attahiru Neva are March 28th - Presidential and Federal House of Assembly and April 11 for Governorship and State House of Assemblies Elections. The rescheduling of the General elections is not unassociated with the security challenges in the country, particularly in the Northeast region where the Insurgent group, Book Haram has been operations and causing terror and unrest to the nation. Mr. Jega said the elections have to be postponed after the nation’s security agencies indicated to the commission that they were not available to support the elections planned for February 14 and 28. The INEC chairman said security operatives agencies told INEC that they were commencing a six-week special operation against Boko Haram insurgents in the north eastern corridors of the country and would rather not be distracted by the elections. |

Romance / A Word Of Advise To All The Single Ladies From Mike Bamiloye by rexoluj(m): 1:55pm On Feb 05, 2015 |
Now, to my Dearest Single Sisters, a lot of us are missing it today. A lot of us have been seriously deceived and misled by erronenous marriage teachings and lectures of confused marriage counsellors and teachers. A woman was once invited to one of our sisters' conference, invited to come and minister to our single sisters. She mounted the pulpit and shocked us by saying, no sisters should marry any brother who is not materially capable of being a husband. She said she also counselled her daughters to be gather as many materials as possible before getting married; that her daughters must go into mariage with enough self-sufficiency. She ought to have got a lot of things like fridge, electronic gadgets, dinning sets and other things that could make her stand tall as a self-sufficient lady. I told my wife, that the woman would never be invited to any of our conferences again. He teaching was confusing. I heard some marriage teachers taught their single sisters to check the Bank Account statement of the man who come proposing to them before they consider their proposals. If the Bank Account is very lean, then, they need not bother themselves considering the proposals. Some sisters would go and pay visit to the houses and apartments of the men who proposed to them, before they could begin to consider their proposals. A young brother who had waited for almost a year before the sister finally said "Yes", later came back to me after almost one year of courtship, to tell me that the lady suddenly began to ask some strange questions about his projections for the future and what he hopes to achieve and possess in a year's time and what he hopes to acquire in two years' time; the amount he hope to have saved for the wedding in two years. And when he told the sister that he was not sure of the amount he could save for the wedding neither does he have any future projection, but he is a minister of God and she could see all the works he has been doing for the Lord and he knows the Lord has a great future for him as he keeps serving Him. This made the sister began to reconsider the relationship. Then, she said later, that she didn't think they were compatible, because she thought he had no future plans. Meanwhile, such sister would readily believe a lie. If the brother had began to blow an invisible trumpet of himself and began to paint an unrealistic picture of his future for this same sister, she would have believed everything. If the brother had said something like "making a saving that would enable him acquire a jeep in a month to their wedding; and how he would tender a business proposal before an oil company or come up with a business idea that could fetch him some millions, which would afford him an opportunity of purchasing a duplex apartment in Lekki part of Lagos, the sister would readily believe that he had a future plan. She would take him for a very serious-minded marriagable brother. We have come to a strange generation where lies sell heavily than the truth. We are now in a season when our young sisters believe a man by what they see of him physically or how sweetly he could run his mouth by saying big and boastful plans and not by what they spiritually perceive of him. This is a season when, it is the way you package yourself that many sisters take you, even if the fine shirts and suits with shoes were borrowed to be returned later. MANY, NOT ALL. MANY OF OUR SISTERS LOVE TO BELEIVE IN LIES TODAY. Some sisters' choice of who to marry would depend on where the man is working: Bank?, Oil and Gas? Real Estate? Insurance? Constructions? And some sisters' readiness to consider a proposal rests on the family status of the man who proposed: is the family rich and wealthy? Are they based in US or Canada or Germany or Asian nations? Famous and Influential? Today, a lot of brothers love to live on lies and falsehood, because this is what many sisters want. I once read on the Whatsap page of a young brother in Christ whom I happened to know. He wrote under his name, CEO of a Motivational and Purpose Group company and under this are about two or three website of his Motivational Purpose company. In one of his write-ups, I read where he said: One day, as I was coming from my office, I saw....." When I read that, I wondered which office he was talking about, because, I knew him to be working as a shop attendant or sales man in a shop. I look at the picture he posted in his profile, he dressed up like a Director of a corporate organisation, but he is a sales boy working in a shop. These are the type of lies many of our sisters love to hear before they could consider a proposal. What does the Bible say about responding to marriage proposals: Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV [5] Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; [6] In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. A christian lady who would have a great future and pleasant home would commit her ways, the proposals into the Lord's hand. I THINK THIS IS THE ACTUAL SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM: MANY SISTERS CAN'T WAIT BEFORE THE LORD TO KNOW THE MIND OF GOD CONCERNING WHO TO MARRY AGAIN. MANY SISTERS ARE GUIDED INTO MAKING THEIR MARITAL CHOICES BASED ON THE PHYSICAL APPEARANCE OR MATERIAL OR FINANCIAL POSSESSIONS OF THE MAN, AND NOT ON THE LEADING AND CONVICTIONS OF THE LORD THEIR GOD. |
Politics / The Nigeria Nation and The Animal Farm - Fable and Reality by rexoluj(m): 3:53pm On Feb 04, 2015 |
NIGERIA seems to be an exact replica of the allegorical and dystopian novella by George Orwell - ANIMAL FARM Notable extracts from the 68-year old book includes: All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which. Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself. The only good human being is a dead one. Several of them would have protested if they could have found the right arguments. This work was strictly voluntary, but any animal who absented himself from it would have his rations reduced by half. Let's face it: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short. All men are enemies. All animals are comrades Man serves the interests of no creature except himself. Windmill or no windmill, he said, life would go on as it had always gone on--that is, badly. Man is the only real enemy we have. Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished forever. The distinguishing mark of man is the hand, the instrument with which he does all his mischief. Comrades!' he cried. 'You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink the milk and eat those apples. Surely, comrades, you don't want Jones back? His answer to every problem, every setback was “I will work harder!” —which he had adopted as his personal motto. There, comrades, is the answer to all our problems. It is summed up in a single word-- Man they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. I trust that every animal here appreciates the sacrifice that Comrade Napoleon has made in taking this extra labour upon himself. Do not imagine, comrades, that leadership is a pleasure! On the contrary, it is a deep and heavy responsibility. No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be? And so much more. The pertinent questions remain: 1. Who are the Pigs, Humans, Horses, Donkeys, Dogs and other animals in our country? 2. In the context of our present day society; Who is Old Major, Mr Jones, Snowball, Napoleon, Minimus, Squealer, Boxer, Benjamin etc 3. What is the conspiracy theory behind this nation called Nigeria and who are those behind it? 4. At what point are we as a country, the era of Old major, Snowball or Napoleon, Who are we? Pigs or Humans? 5. On a lighter mood, Is it a coincidence that we currently have an Animalogist and Militarologist haggling to be in power over the land?

Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the-scenes assurances. - Wole Soyinka This Article was written in 2007 and I believe both Soyinka and Buhari have changed over time. |

Politics / Re: PDP-Sponsored Documentary On Buhari & My Analysis by rexoluj(m): 4:34pm On Jan 27, 2015 |
Spot on? Buhari was a public servant and retired as such and lives on his pension. He had the highest office in the land but refused to apportion oil blocs to himself nor steal public funds. That is the true meaning of a Compatriot. Have you seen pensionsers at government houses fighting over non-payment of pension. That is the group Buhari belongs, just that he is privileged to have been a head of state (who was disciplined, hardworking and incorruptible) NIgerians, THINK... Our mentality has been structured to celebrate people by the material things they provide for us to see. Because Buhari did not build a school, give textbook, or champion for a university or own a business or give scholarship does not make him less a Nigerian. Whether you accept it or not, he served the country up until his retirement and he believes he can still add value to our country. The choice is yours. Kindly let this message sink through you before you comment please. 3 Likes 1 Share |
