Idibia via Instagram

Eja Nla would be a year older today and I think its time he settles with one kokolet and to produce them koko pikinzzzz....

Happy Birthday Koko Master and Cutie Idibia!!!

And this fallacy made the Front page.. Nairaland and bloggers una marriage no go end like glo and Afolayan!

This is a kinda damage control piece by omojuwa, the 'arrogant' blogger that said somethings about Gani Fawehinmi...

Certain things happen so
that we can put certain
phenomena into
perspective. Before
perspectives though, stating
the absolute truth is
necessary especially
considering the
misinformation going
around. The worst enemies
of the late Chief Gani
Fawehinmi would not have
the effrontery to say in their
private bedrooms that they
did more for humanity than
the late human rights
activist did. I doubt any sane
Nigerian would dare say that
on national TV. The
Channels TV headline that
ascribed that blasphemy to
me has since been
corrected but I wish such
headline never happened.
This is a country where the
headline is the whole news,
where even the real news
when read or watched
doesn’t get put into
perspective and essentially
where biased hearts get to
dictate the direction of the
head. I never at anytime
said, insinuate or suggest
that social media was doing
more than Chief Gani
Fawehinmi did. The video
http://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=-SZ1-ktGyvQ says
it all but I should say a bit
more.
Some have analyzed and
intellectualized their bias
into the video to suggest the
previous Channels TV
headline was true but such
people cannot claim to be
respectful of the works of
the late Chief Gani
Fawehinmi because if you
care so much about bringing
another man down enough
for you to debase the legacy
of a legend, you would have
essentially betrayed your
claims of respect for same.
Chief Gani Fawehinmi in the
argument has been
erroneously reduced to the
word protests, which was
the crux of the argument.
He was more than protests.
He was a philanthropist who
used his money and
profession for the cause of
the poor. I grew up reading
Tell magazine’s reports of
his efforts and activities with
the likes of the late Dr. Beko
Ransome Kuti. These men
were not known for just
protests they were known
for more. They achieved
more engaging the military
intellectually and
strategically than they did
just protesting. Kudirat
Radio was not your
conventional protest but it
set Gen. Abacha up against
the world powers. I said,
“change is not just about
protests, it is about
everything. You put
everything on the table
when it comes to change.” I
went on to say whatever
achievements social media
was attaining it could do a
lot more and in fact went on
to say a lot of what was
happening on social media
was a kind of “masturbation
on nothing.”
This is Nigeria, where you
don’t have to be wrong to
be seen to be wrong, the
wrong headline along with
your name makes you
wrong. As at the time of
writing this piece, less than
four thousand people had
watched the videos
altogether but over three
hundred thousand people
had an opinion. It is not hard
to infer that most people,
who passed their opinion on
the issue, trusted the
erroneous headline, which
was bad enough for the
otherwise respectable news
platform to correct.
Did all the dead heroes of
Nigeria’s so called
democracy die thinking the
fight was worth it? When we
had a semblance of
democracy, did Chief Gani
Fawehinmi celebrate it or
did he wish it was not a
“civil rule” like he once even
called it? I remember him in
tears during one of the
presidential debates. That
was not enough for
Nigerians to vote for him.
That is not to say we are
hypocrites or sycophants,
may be to say we are just a
special kind of people. If
Chief Gani Fawehinmi was
alive today, would he
depend solely on street
protests to salvage our dear
country or would he
consider other possible
options to go with them? Did
he use arguments on
television, radio and the
media of the time as other
tools of change or did he
stick solely to protests?
Why are we the way we
are? Why do we pretend to
worship people in death yet
never considered them
worthy while alive? How
many times has Chief Gani
Fawehinmi trended on his
birthday or death day on
new media? How many
people even remember to
tweet “RIP Chief Gani
Fawehinmi” on his
remembrance? How many
even know his birthday? All
of these noises about the
video many have not seen
are essentially not about
these people’s love for the
legend but the intent to hurt,
an act to make another
person look bad.
I’d never in my entire life
compare myself to Chief
Gani Fawehinmi. I am not
writing this because it is the
right thing to write even
though it is, I am writing this
because comparing myself
to Chief Gani Fawehinmi is
what I don’t have the ability
to do. If I were his son, he’d
pray for me to do bigger
things than he did. If he
were alive, he’d pray for me
to rise above his successes.
That is the way in Yoruba
land where I come from.
Older people pray for
younger people to do more
and do better. It is of course
not in the place of such
young people to claim they
did if at all they do.
Someone I considered a
friend said I’d never be half
the man Chief Gani
Fawehinmi was. I took
solace in the fact that Chief
Gani Fawehinmi in death
would desire more for me
and were he alive would
pray for me to achieve
more.
Lessons have been learnt.
Ours is a tiring society
where those you assume
are fighting a cause with
you are only looking for you
to get hit by a bullet so they
can finish the job i.e. kill you
themselves if you survive
the hit. It is a funny society
where those you take as
enemies are actually friends
who want the best for you. It
is a society where people do
not care about the
memories of great men who
have gone to the beyond as
long as those memories are
used as tools to take other
people down. It is a society
where a part of the press
decides to take you down if
you don’t pay or pay
enough. It is a society where
saying the press can do
better, rise above junk gets
reported as saying the
whole press is useless.
We can do better as a
people. We can elevate
issues beyond looking to
make others look small,
disrespectful or unkind to
the works of others. If
protests alone could bring
change Spain would not
have one of Europe’s
highest unemployment rates
because they had about
3000 protests last year,
Egypt would be a paradise
today, Syria would not be in
war and Tunisia would not
be in a fix. There is nothing
that cannot be improved
upon. The essence of life is
to get better and do better
than the past. Suggesting to
improve on the ways of the
past is not saying those that
lived in the past did less. It is
saying those who live today
can do better.
I have not written this for
those who believed I made
such a blasphemous
statement about Chief Gani
Fawehinmi – they will
believe any evil about one
anyway. Some were born to
only hate on others who
were born to be successful.
Those ones had their
opinion about me long
before the erroneous
Channels TV headline. I
have written this to put it
into the history of the truth;
that I respect the works of
the heroes of Nigeria like
Chief Gani Fawehinmi. Some
of us are able to do what we
do because of what he did.
If there is any radicalism in
me, I derived from the living
energy of the likes of Chief
Gani Fawehinmi. I believe
that as a people and
generation we can improve
on their works. Not
essentially as activists
because I’d personally not
be one but as active
citizens. I respect their
memories and would never
do or say a thing to
denigrate such people’s
works and memories.
Anyone who continues to
say I did is not out to
respect Chief Gani
Fawehinmi’s memory but
only out to make one look
bad. For these ones, they
can say and do whatever
they like, the most
important thing is my
conscience, my faith and my
strength. You cannot bring
down a man whose place at
the top is not rested on your
palms but God’s. This is for
those who need to know the
truth and this for me is the
truth. Thank you and God
bless.
