POLITICS2023: Igbo President will bring peace to Nigeria – ObasanjoPublished on March 11, 2022 By Fikayo Olowolagba


Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has declared support for an Igbo Presidency in 2023.

Obasanjo, while receiving a 2023 Presidential aspirant, Mao Ohuabunwa on Thursday in Abeokuta said it was time for reconciliation in Nigeria by supporting a president from the Southeast region to emerge in 2023.

The former president stated that southeasterners can bring a lot to the table if elected.

“Beyond bringing unity to Nigeria or being the cement that holds Nigeria together, I believe that Southeasterners can model hard work and entrepreneurship.

“This will help in wealth creation and fight against poverty, which is ravaging Nigeria,” Obasanjo said.

He warned Ohuabunwa that running for Presidency is a tough job.

Moringa will be of enormous help to you Op.
Moringa leaves have the ability to boost your memory.

Also, always try to relax your mind, often times having many things running through your brain/mind at the same time could trigger loss of memory. Worry less as well, it will help you.

I think Trainee Roles are like training programs that run for a certain period of time, then after the training program elapses, the good ones among the trainees become permanent employees (get staffed). I might be wrong though, just a personal thought.

Please, if you have better clarification regarding Trainee roles, kindly share.

Thanks.

You're not outrightly wrong. Often times trainees get automatic placements after training, except in cases of casualties during the cause of training in which the trainee cannot continue with the training. In that case, the trainee will be compensated.

Another case that might hinder the placement of a trainee, is if it was discovered that the trainee presented false information during the recruitment process. Aside these, trainees get automatic placements after undergoing trainings.

Hi Guys, ehm, I have a quick question. Do Trainee Ops/Techs later get Staffed ??

What do you mean by "later get staffed"?

Op, I will advice you to go for spiritual consultation, it will reveal what the problem is, and a solution will be proffered as well!

Meet a very strong genuine spiritualist for spiritual consultation.

TEN (10) GOLDEN SECRETS OF MARRIAGE:
TO THOSE WHO ARE MARRIED AND THOSE PREPARING TO GET MARRIED SOON

1. EVERYONE YOU MARRY HAS A WEAKNESS

Only God has no weakness. Every rose flower has its own thorn. If you focus too much on your spouse's weakness, you can't get the best out of his/her strength.

2. EVERYONE YOU MARRY HAS A DARK HISTORY

No one is an Angel, therefore, avoid digging one's past. What matters is the present life of your partner. Old things are passed away. try to forgive and forget. The past can't be change. So Focus on the present and the future!

3. EVERY MARRIAGE HAS IT'S OWN CHALLENGES

Marriage is not bed of roses. Every shinning marriage has gone through its own test of hot and excruciating fire. True love is proved in time of challenge. Fight for your marriage! Make up your mind to stay with your spouse in time of needs. Remember this is the vow you made on your wedding day!

4. EVERY MARRIAGE HAS DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SUCCESS

Don't compare your marriage with anyone! We can never be equal, some will be far in front and others far behind. To avoid marriage stresses, be patient, work hard and with time, your marriage dreams shall come true.

5. TO MARRY IS TO DECLARE A WAR

When you marry, you must declare a war against enemies of marriage. Some of the enemies of marriage are: Ignorance, Prayerlessness, Unforgiveness, Adultery, Third Party Influence, Stinginess, Stubbornness, Lack Of Love, Rudeness, Wife battery, Laziness, Divorce etc. Be ready to fight to maintain your marriage zone.

6. THERE IS NO PERFECT MARRIAGE

There is no ready made marriage anywhere. Marriage is hard work, volunteer yourself and perfect it daily. Marriage is like a CAR with Gear oil, gear box, back hassles and If this parts are not properly maintained, the car will brake down somewhere along the road and exposing the occupant to unhealthy circumstances. - Many of us are careless about our marriage... Are you? If you are, pls pay attention to your marriage.

7. GOD CANNOT GIVE YOU THE COMPLETE PERSON YOU DESIRE

He (God) gives you, him or her in the form of raw materials in order for you to mould what you desire. You may desire a woman who can pray for 1 hours but your wife can only pray for 30 minutes. With your love, prayer and encouragement, she can improve.

8. TO MARRY IS TO TAKE A RISK

You cannot predict what will happen after marriage, as situation may change, so, leave a room for adjustment. Pregnancy may not come in the next 4 years. You may get married to her because she's slim but she becomes 100% fatter after a child. He may lose his beautiful job for years that you have to take the financial responsibility of the family until he gets a new job. But with God by your side, you will smile at last.

9. MARRIAGE IS NOT A CONTRACT, IT IS PERMANENT

Marriage needs total commitment, love is the glue that makes a couple stick together. Divorce starts in the mind. Never think of divorce! Never threaten your spouse with divorce. Choose to remain married! God hates divorce

10. EVERY MARRIAGE HAS A PRICE TO PAY

Marriage is like a bank account. It is the money you deposit into your bank account that you can withdrawn. If you don't deposit love, peace and care into your marriage, you are not a candidate of a blissful home. There is no free love in marriage, You cannot love without giving and sacrificing.

May God Give us The Grace And Wisdom To Build A Heaven on Earth Marriage.

*No region in Southern Nigeria needs One Nigeria to survive.*
(A must read pls.)



*Buhari’s government is a necessary evil. Necessary in the sense that each region that makes up the contraption called Nigeria has come to see the union as an open-faced lie that it is, and is weighing its options. While the South West, which became the backbone of the Northern dominance over the South for the past 6 years tries to pull back from the alliance, the South East and South-South which have been waiting for South West to get ready to crash the fraud, sit back and watch.* South West has managed to corner the economic power of the country while the North keeps the political power through the unverified population claims.

While the South West negotiates with economic and media power, the core North negotiates with unverified population political power.
The South-South, especially the Ijaw areas negotiates with cutting off the mainstay of the nation’s economy. This implies that if the gas trunk line from Escravos is cut off, half of Lagos and Ogun will be out of power till it is restored, so they're listened to.
But South-South lost so many economic potentials due to years of inter-tribal wars and militancy. Lagos was able to gain what South-South lost by promoting itself as safe and peaceful; again with the power of media.
The Ijaw-Itsekiri war forced many multinationals to relocate to Lagos from Warri.
Years of militancy further stripped Port Harcourt of its garden city status, removed most of the benefits of oil the region had to the gain of Lagos while it became an ecological wasteland.

*However, the South-East has nothing to negotiate with, because it has failed to build a local economy with its huge human capital, natural resources and individual financial war chest.*
Building an economy entails full industrialisation of the region.
The governors have not thought beyond the monthly allocation from the federal government, and their innate quest to fritter away the commonwealth of the people of the region to set up a system that taps from the ingenuity of their people.
Setting up this system means that there will be a direction and objectives to be achieved in say, 10,20, 30 years time.
*This system will build a market that is interconnected and becomes a go-to for entire West Africa. Instead, the economy of the region is scattered in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and only returns to either build filling stations or hotels.*
*But the "hotel and filling stations" economy does not offer sustainability or keep the money in the East as no raw materials and labour are sought.*
The inability of the leaders to think beyond their stomachs is why Aba has no good internal roads, let alone the ones that connect her to Akwa Ibom to facilitate the movement of goods from Nigeria to Cameroon.

Nigeria is dominantly a gas nation and has the highest proven gas reserve in the whole of Africa with over 202 trillion cubic feet of gas reserve.
*A greater proportion of Nigeria's gas reserve is in the south East. None of the Igbo leaders licking the anal hole of Abuja men has thought it wise investing in electricity, using their Abuja connections to add value to the economy of the region except one.* Investment in electricity is a good starting point for industrialisation. The totality of Imo, Anambra and Abia are sitting on huge NAG reserves.
While Escravos Lagos Pipeline System (ELPS) supplies 2.2 Million standard cubic feet per day, the Assa North-Ohaji South project which holds more than 4.3 trillion cubic feet of NAG is the largest greenfield gas condensate development projects being undertaken in Nigeria and expected to supply 600 million cubic feet of gas daily. This will translate to 2.4 GW of electricity that can power more than 5 million homes. But the shocker is that it will not be used for electricity in the South East.
Imagine 2.2 GW of electricity in Onitsha and Nnewi and Emene industrial areas.
*The first conceptualised domestic gas supply project was the Aba-Owerri-Nnewi-Onitsha Pipeline Project but it was abandoned for the Ajaokuta - Kaduna - Kano project.*
There is also no domestic gas project covering the entire Niger Delta, despite the fact that the region supplies to Lagos and Ajaokuta. So what have the leaders in these areas been doing?

Another reason why these gas reserves in the East are not being developed is because of the so-called "competitive market and infrastructure to harness them".
*Oil Serve is deep into gas development in Ukwa and Asa and built the supply base for the 188 MW Geometrics gas-powered plant. But Igbo leaders sat down and watched as Prof Bat Nnaji and Emeka Offor's Interstate electricity battled for nearly 8 years, depriving Aba of the needed power that will restore its industrial potentials.* The funny part is that it took Vice President Osibanjo to wade into the dispute to settle it while Ohanaeze drank champagne from house to house. Taunting yourself as holding over 60 per cent of the country's capital while there is no back up local economy will backfire as it did in the 60s when push comes to shove.

Igbo leaders over the years missed the lecture.
*Their inability to invest in youths like Zik, MI Okpara and Sam Mbakwe did, by setting up critical infrastructures like electricity and good transport systems pushed the youth to the wall.*
Their complicity and reliance on Abuja meant that their people no longer take them seriously.

Instead of Arthur Eze using police to harass Abba people, he could have teamed up with Seplat and Oil Serve for a gas pipeline to Onitsha and Nnewi. They can source $3 billion for the project. With Arthur Eze's connect in Abuja, nothing will stop it. But what do we get? People who just want us to clap for them for driving Rolls Royce on tattered roads. Now the youths are fighting back, choosing death than to back down. Currently, there is a struggle for the control of the soul of the East, between the youths and the traditional politicians. Instead of using dialogue to settle the disagreement, the politicians rely on the same Abuja which understands nothing but brute force to crush the resistance. *However, the consistent militarization of the East has not scared these youths but has emboldened them. From flying flags to now wielding AK 47 assault rifles, the next phase is already known.*
They have failed to understand that this generation won't tolerate what their fathers tolerated.

*Moving on, Nigeria breaking up, violently, is a matter of when and no longer that of 'if'.*
*We have all come to the brutal reality that each region needs an armed group that will speak for it in times like these.*
Even the central government with its clear lack of direction is beginning to prepare grounds for eventual break up of the union, through the appointment of people of Buhari’s ethnic group in juicy positions to steal as much as they could and using the wealth from the south to build an economically irrelevant railway to the Niger Republic. Despite all the noise, they would find out that all they contribute to the union are onions, cabbage, tomatoes and meat.

*It is funny that Nigeria has not found a way to connect its economic clusters of Lagos, Aba, Onicha and Port Harcourt with rail but has all of a sudden found a way to connect an economically arid Niger Republic whose GDP is not up to that of Anambra.*
The significance of this is profound. The North West has more affinity with the Niger Republic, Chad and Mali than the rest of the country.
That is why under Buhari, railway, refinery etc will get to Maradi. It is also why governors from the Niger Republic attend political campaigns in places like kano and Katsina.
*It is why herders are imported from Niger down to Chad and the Central African Republic to cause mayhem all over Nigeria while Abuja turns the other way.*
*It is why Gas is channelled from Obrikom/Obiafu to Kaduna, Kano while Bayelsa has no stable electricity.*

*Nigeria is the biggest fraud to ever exist and it took the docile South just six years of Buhari to finally see what has been going on for about 60 years.*

*It was within these 6 years that the people who criminalised Kanu and his IPOB for only flying flags and demanding their own country began actively negotiating with terrorists, resettling them and publicly demanding amnesty for them.* When they moved against Igboho, the South West resisted. The core North was handicapped and couldn't sustain its propaganda in the Sasa incident because the South West plugged off its media power from their mouth. Outdone, they sent Kadiari Ahmed to appeal to journalists not to blow up the country while failing to put the blame squarely at Buhari’s nepotist feet. Nobody threatened to burn down their shops in order to cow them, a common threat issued to our people from the South East.

*Will the bandits get the amnesty?*
*I bet you they will. If you doubt it, then you are not paying attention enough.*
If the politicians whose actions led to the insurgency in North East, found a way to create a North East development commission, banditry is also geared towards a North West development commission which will sap more money from the South to the North while the wait for the D-day continues.
*Those shouting that the "Unity of Nigeria is not negotiable" are only waiting to steal enough.*
With the way the union is tearing apart, there will be little to no time to even negotiate.

Those who tell you that South East is landlocked do not see how wide and deep River Niger and Imo River are.
The Port of Hamburg which is the 15th busiest port in the world and the busiest in Germany is along the Elbe River which is not as wide as the Imo River or Niger River.
Google is your friend.
They tell you that these rivers pass through other states to get to the ocean.
But if Nigeria breaks up, those rivers will be bound by international water treaties or might be decided through other unconventional means.
If you go to St Petersburg in Russia, you notice several motorised bridges that open at night for cargo ships to pass and close in the day for vehicles.
While the biggest vessel to ever berth in Nigeria is 10,000 TEU, the Elbe River carries vessels above 24,000 TEUs.

If Hamburg is Nigeria, you know how the story will turn out.
The government is not thinking.
You should also not stop thinking. Those who make peaceful coexistence impossible make violent balkanisation possible.
Sadly, they're in power.

I want to talk about this tonight

�� *WHY MOST MEN WALK AWAY OR PLAY YOU*
She said to me, "Sir, all the men that came into my life left me - and now *I know that they are all fake and I'm never going to believe in love or trust again*."
A lady walked up to me ask this question , which I will like to share with everybody here tonight
*This may also have happened to your marriage and it vanished away and became history*. Or it is happening right now to your relationship or marriage, and you sincerely don't know what to do. .....��‍♂️��‍♂️��‍♂️
�� *This lady said* "I don't believe love exists between a man and a woman - *it's just unfortunate. Love and trust have hurt me many times*."
Hear this tonight...��‍♂️
�� *Maybe you have also had a similar experience with someone you once gave a free access to your heart, body food and money, and they didn't preserve it*.

They didn't honor it. They didn't stay. Or you were the one who walked away.
�� *I want to talk to you today to give you a little more insight into the nature of men and why many ladies keep falling victim of this*��‍♂️ So *you're now wondering if this thing called True Love is only found in romantic movies and not in reality of this present world*.
*I may get into trouble with this because I'm going to share some deep things with you about men* - our nature and status -

*I know somebody will understand the meaning of true love and also know how to handle it when you see it*. I may get into trouble with this because this is a public discussion, as such some good men are equally reading this

�� *Let me quickly clarify the following before we continue*:

1) Love doesn't hurt, people do when they manipulate others in the name of love. Sometimes, it is a lady hurting a guy. I know. But most of the times, it is a guy playing a lady in the name of love. Don't argue yet. You'll find why it is usually so as we go on.
*Love is a good thing and there is still true love today, even in this untoward generation*.
*Do not allow your experience to limit your possibilities*. Falling and rising is good. But always rise with some life lessons along.
Hear this........
��‍♂️ 4) Trusting people doesn't hurt, it is trusting people blindly that hurts badly. *Without trust, human transactions and interactions will not be possible*.
5) Trust is a good thing. And it is a Big capital*. It's a good thing to know who to trust - to be discerning - and it is even better to be a person whom people can trust - to be trustworthy.
6) Trust must be earned. Ignore those who keep on begging you to trust them yet they keep on failing you*.

If they show no integrity and competence; if they don't do what they said they will do or do it unacceptably, if you don't stop trusting them, somebody is going to get hurt.
7) *You are at a better advantage when you're correctly informed. Correct information is very important in life, business, ministry or marriage*. And I'm going to do my best right away to present the facts and the truth to you. I pray you receive it with an open mind and put it to work.
Aunty hear this...
*All men are not fake. No man is consistently fake with everyone*.

That man that is fake with you is real with another lady somewhere else. This is simple but deep.
�� *If this is true*,
then why is he fake with me and real with another lady elsewhere, when I do everything I can to satisfy him?

Why is he playing me? Why?
Question Question Question
��‍♂️��‍♂️��‍♂️��‍♂️��‍♂️��‍♂️��‍♂️

From a Member

Sir, I went to my Boyfriend's family house to visit, they were all nice and we had dinner. Before I left, my boyfriend's mum asked me to join her in the kitchen to do the dishes. I thought it was a joke, so I excused myself and went to meet him to ask if his mum was serious, he defended her. I quietly left not to cause a scene. I can't imagine such nonsense, the family is meeting me for the first time and already ordering me into the kitchen, who does that? I am so offended right now!
To imagine, since I left he hasn't called or sent me an apology
Sir, what I did, is it wrong?
� *I tell you the truth*

, nothing can be more hurting and frustrating than to be in a marriage with a man who is in love with another woman elsewhere. *Slow down. Some men can equally pretend very, very well*.

Aunty coper
Aunty fashion designer
Aunty make up
Aunty hair dresser
Aunty salary earner

Don't rush ooo , slow down����
*Time has a way of revealing true reality. Don't be in a rush*.

Aunty....��
Slow down. Your friend may have met his own man and they got married in less then two months of meeting each other and now you want a miracle like that, too.
�� *A man will never leave you if you become a home to him*.

*A home is a peaceful place of rest. It's more than just a well furnished house. Tomorrow. Wait for it*.

Oh, it is not about driving him crazy with sex. No! No!! Men think differently than women.
*Hear this*.......
�� *Men see sex as a need - as food - as a necessity - but women see sex as a reward for love and affection*.

He knows that sex is part of your *definition of love, but it is not really for him, so it is easy to keep things one sided*.
��‍♂️ *And if you're in that tough place today where you're compromising with your body to meet your needs, you can stop today and walk away*.

The Lord will forgive and restore you. Jesus loves you.
�� But even ladies who give sex for money or in exchange for a job or position usually have this bad feeling that " *this thing" was not originally made for sale - but for love and shared affection. #Copied

Please anyone with the SHL practice test should kindly share!

*LESSON:* Never design your life like a garden where anyone can walk in and out. Design it like the sky where everyone aspires to reach!

13. *Arnold Swarzzenegger said,* I traveled to America in search of financial independence when I was 15yrs old. I became the world's strongest man 7 times and Mr Universe. I then got my Economics degree, then I became one of Hollywood's best actors before I was voted twice as governor of California."

*LESSON:* Don't wait for everybody to believe in your ability and dreams.

A Christian is one that his or her life is suppose to be like that of Christ. A true Christian should be one that when people see, they see the life of Christ.

A combination of Christianity and Entrepreneurship is what I've termed Christianeurship. And a Christianeur must note the following to succeed:

1. Poverty is not a genetic disease Psalms 139:13, Genesis 1:26-28, Jeremiah 1:5.

2. God made sure everyone of us has a gift 1Corinthians 12:7.

3. God made sure that time and chance happens to all people Ecclesiastics 9:11.

4. God made sure that there is time to sow and time to reap Genesis 8:22, Ecclesiastics 3:2.

5. God has opened doors that no man can shut for us Revelation 3:8

We should also know that prayer is not a substitute for knowledge, neither is it a substitute for information.

Prices To Pay In Order To Succeed:

1. The price of hard work Proverbs 22:29.

2. The price of knowledge and information Daniel 9:2.

3. Collaboration; you can't do business successfully without networking.

God bless you all!

MALIGNANTGuest:
D TOPIC should have been the difference btw
BRILLIANCE and INTELLIGENCE (WISDOM)

There's a distinction between intelligence and wisdom. You can be intelligent but not wise

I WISH I HAD KNOWN THESE PROFOUND DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN INTELLIGENCE AND WISDOM!!!

1. Intelligence leads to arguments.
Wisdom leads to settlements.

2. Intelligence is power of will.
Wisdom is power OVER will.

3. Intelligence is heat, it burns.
Wisdom is warmth, it comforts.

4. Intelligence is pursuit of knowledge, it tires the seeker.
Wisdom is pursuit of truth, it inspires the seeker.

5. Intelligence is holding on.
Wisdom is letting go.

6. Intelligence leads you.
Wisdom guides you.

7. An intelligent man thinks he knows everything.
A wise man knows that there is still something to learn.

8. An intelligent man always tries to prove his point.
A wise man knows there really is no point.

9. An intelligent man freely gives unsolicited advice.
A wise man keeps his counsel until all options are considered.

10. An intelligent man understands what is being said.
A wise man understands what is left unsaid.

11. An intelligent man speaks when he has to say something.
A wise man speaks when he has something to say.

12. An intelligent man sees everything as relative.
A wise man sees everything as related.

13. An intelligent man tries to control the mass flow.
A wise man navigates the mass flow.

14. An intelligent man preaches.
A wise man reaches.

*Intelligence is good*
*but wisdom achieves better results.*
May we continue to grow in wisdom. �

Man in China said:

If you put Bananas and
Money in front of
Monkeys, Monkeys will
choose Bananas
because monkeys do
not know that Money
can buy a lot of
Bananas.

IN REALITY,
if you offer JOB and
BUSINESS to people,
they would choose JOB
because most people
do not know that
BUSINESS can bring
more MONEY than
Wages.

Similarly,
Robert Kiyosaki,
author of the best

"One of the reasons the
poor are poor, is
because they are NOT
TRAINED TO RECOGNIZE
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
OPPORTUNITIES.

They spend too much time in school and what they have learnt in school, is to WORK FOR
WAGES instead of
MONEY WORKING FOR
THEM.

Profit is better than
Wages, for Wages can
make you a living but
Profits can bring you a
Fortune."

THINK INVESTMENT
and stop fighting over
increments of salaries,
it still won't be enough

Hear this from a
Professor to freshmen
and women during their
orientation:
(Actually
he is an Acting DVC
Academic at a small/

Kenya)

"Academic excellence is
overrated!
Being top of your class does not necessarily
guarantee that you will be at the top of life.
You could graduate as the best student in Finance but it doesn't mean you will make more money than
everybody else."

The best graduating
Law student does not necessarily become the
best lawyer.

The fact is, life requires more than the ability to
understand a concept, memorise it and reproduce it in an exam.

School rewards people for their memory.
Life rewards people for their imagination.

School rewards caution, life rewards daring.
School hails those who live by the rules.

Life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones.

So do I mean people
shouldn't study hard in school?

Oh, no, you
should.
But don't sacrifice every other thing on the altar of First Class.
Don't limit yourself to the classroom.

Do something practical.
Take a leadership
position.
Start a business and
fail.
That's a better
Entrepreneurship 101.

Join or start a good club.
Contest an election and lose.
It will teach you
something Political
Science 101 will not
teach you.

Attend seminars.
Read books outside the scope of your
course.

Go on missions and win a soul for eternal rewards...
Do something you
believe in!

Think less of becoming an excellent student
but think more of
becoming an excellent person.

Don't make the
classroom to be your world, but Make the world your classroom.

*WARNING TO THE NIGERIAN CHURCH*
(17.08.21)

Afghanistan is the number one on the global terrorist list and she has just been overthrown by Taliban terrorists and Nigeria is just number three (3) seconding Iran on that list with a coalition of Iswap and Boko Haram molesting her territory...

You're still not getting the point?

All Churches in Afghanistan as at today are shut down. I mean all of them.
Pastors and overseers have all gone underground now...Cathedrals are empty.

Religious folks say Nigeria can never be overthrown because God is alive.

But I ask, do you think God loves Nigeria more than Afghanistan? Wake Up!

Stop deceiving yourselves.

Over religiousness destroyed the saints in Asian Minor (Present Turkey) and Paul's labours in that land suffered severe damage as Turkey is more Islamic than even Saudi Arabia today.

Do you think God loves Nigeria more than Turkey that was the old location of all ancient Churches in the New Testament?

Ohhh, Nigeria is the anchor head of the last day Revival so nothing can happen they say!
Let me ask you, is Nigeria written in the Bible? The answer is a capital NO.

But Turkey that hosted Apostle Paul, John and co in it's land was overthrown.
Turkey that is home to the 99.9 percent Churches in the new testament was overthrown by radical Islam and you're still blind to this reality?

It's true that the spiritual Ekklesia (Church) cannot be conquered, but the land that hosts her can be overtaken.

The seven (7) Churches Jesus wrote letter to in the book of Revelation were all located in Turkey, yet, Turkey was overthrown by Radical Islam.
You still think the Nigerian factor cannot be overtaken? WAKE UP!

The Turkish Church had the largest cathedrals then and was carried away with ephemerals like materialism as they lost the very essence of true spiritualism, which the same estate of the Nigerian Church today.

If the Nigerian Church and her powerful overseers doesn't rise to confront the Government today, consider Nigeria another Sharia Republic to be overtaken by a terrorist group in not long from now.

Study Church and Secular History, they won't study, they will rather keep declaring empty words of faith...

Do ye not know that when the hedge is broken the serpent bites?

In his days, Prophet Jeremiah had warned King Jehoiachin and all Israel, yet they doubted him as they continued feasting until Israel went into captivity to Babylon.

I'm still warning the saints in this Land to WAKE UP.

Taliban, Iswap, Boko Haram all have same goal which is TOTAL SHARIA WITH ERADICATION OF CHRISTIANITY.

Let him that readeth understand...

*Some important historical facts unknown to this generation* - copied

The first charismatic Hausa leader to unite his people against Fulani overlords was a scholar by the name Abd al – Salam , another Hausa scholar by the name Dan Buya joined him. His movement started around 1818, shortly after the death of Usman Dan Fodio. At the time, almost all Hausa people lived in slave camps and over 60% of them were vassals of the Fulani feudal overlords…. Another large faction were turned to chattels and sold to the Ottoman traders. The revolt by these clerics to take back their lands started at Sokoto and spread from Sokoto to Kebbi and Zamfara. At this time, Uthman Dan Fodio was dead and Sultan Bello was the ruler from Sokoto. He declared the leaders of the revolt as apostates. They were both defeated in battle and assassinated.

The Hausas were organizing for a second revolt when Lord Lugard showed up. Hoping to use his influence to sack the Fulani rulers, they enlisted en -masse into his army and formed the first battalions of the West African Frontier Force (WAFF)… Lugard betrayed them after the successful campaign and gave the land of the Hausa people back to the Emirs on the condition that the Emirs agreed to be vassals of the British. The Hausa people protested and tried to pressure him to replace them with Hausa rulers. He refused and believed that the Fulani, being a non negro race would be supposedly more intelligent people to work with in a system of indirect rule. In his journal, he wrote…. ‘The Fulani are an alien race of conquerors who had in turn been conquered. It would constitute danger to the state if they were ousted from their positions. Their intelligence enables them to appreciate more readily than the negro population the wider objects of the British policy….’

Shortly before independence, another charismatic ruler rose from the ranks to free his people from Fulani rule. He was also a scholar by the name Aminu Kano. He shared similar philosophies with Awolowo on Fabian socialism. He argued that that talakawas were an exploited group in the North and swore to abolish both the emirates and privileged class known then as Masu Sarautu. His rising profile posed concern for the British and for a second time, they made laws that disenfranchised the Hausa people. They created an electoral college in the North with laws that gave the emirs the final approval of any elected member into the legislature. With this law, they silenced the voice of the talakawas championed by Aminu Kano and frustrated his revolution.

In the 70’s, another Hausa cleric emerged and rallied Hausa people, his name was Mohammadu Marwa, nicknamed ‘Mai Tatsine. He deviated from many of the Sunni teachings and declared himself an annabi (Hausa ruler). He swore to rid Hausa land of the Fulani elites and the nobility that exploited the local rulers for over a century. Like Aminu kano, he drew a mass following among the talakawas. His movement was violent. He had weapons smuggled into Kano for a revolution that started in December 1980….. Shagari government used the military to fight the movement and killed over 5,000 people. The group was fearless and stood their ground to the last breadth…. Major Haliru Akilu, one of the commanders sent to restore order in Kano observed that the fanatics never retreated, even when they were overpowered. They were bolder than the guerillas we read about fighting in Malaysia or in the jungles of East Asia’

Mohammed Marwa was was killed shortly after the revolt . ( It was said that at death, his body did not decay and this futher inspired his followers). A More brutal successor came after him. His name was Ali Suleiman (Musa Makaniki). He led a more violent uprisings in Kaduna and the most violent of all postcolonial Hausa revolts in Yola in 1984 which left thousands of people dead and thousands more homeless. Buhari ordered a ruthless crackdown on the group in Yola that led to the death of many members. Musa Makaniki fled to Cameroon to escape death by hanging and stayed in exile for many years.

The current cleric standing for the Hausa masses is El Zakzacky. Unlike the other previous leaders of the fight for freedom for Hausa people, El Zakzacky had western education and his movement started with intellectuals in the ranks. He finished with a first degree in Economics at ABU but was denied his certificate. In a country where the Northerners enjoyed the privilege of a quota system, he could have lived a good life by pledging allegiance to Futa Jalon rulers…. On the contrary, he chose to stand up for the injustice done to the Hausa people for over a century. Like the cleric before him, he deviated from all Islamic laws that bound them to Alien rulers that exploited the natives to form the nobility. His struggle is not about Islamic ideals, it is about freedom for Hausa people and rejection of Fulani nobility. His rhetoric is strictly centered on it and the government they greatly influence at federal level.

The emirs are alien rulers. Like the British who left at independence, they need to vacate the Northern kingdoms and give Hausa land back to its ancestral owners who have been seeking redress for injustice done to them by the Jihad of 1804 since the early 1800’s.....

_‘Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.’_ (John F Kennedy)

Let's get the fact straight for easier understanding seeing that many of us no longer think and plenty are hard of hearing.

They said Abba Kyari was a Supercop.

Really?

What made him a Supercop which separated him from other cops?

Is it his super intelligence?

His brilliance?

Super strenght?

Super analytical skill?

Pragmatism?

Did he graduate from "Harvard School of Crime Bursting"?

Was he a product of the German elite force the Gestapo?

What exactly were his qualifications that made his protectors and horde of supporters brand him the Supercop?

One thing is obvious, at least for now. His first response to the FBI allegation on his Facebook page betrayed him as a very dull man. Very dull.

It is pointless to explain and keep explaining that Nigeria as a country elevates and celebrates idiots. She makes genius out of fools.

The only reason while a clown like Abba Kyari is celebrated in Nigeria is because lawlessness and braggadaciousness is her forte. In a state of lawlessness the most lawless becomes a hero.

That was how a certain Fulani migrant from Niger Republic shot himself to power in December 1983 in a coup that cost Brigadier Bako his life, suspended democracy, jailed politicians up to 125 years in prison. Killed the economy, education and sent many people on exile.

Three decades later, Nigerians went to dig him out of the dunghill of misery, excavated the mannequin from the graveyard of bitterness and hate and branded him a Superman for ruining lives and society in 1983.

This time they branded him Super Integrity for hating money and for not being able to buy a house as a military man. The criminals who saw virtue in this evil man even contributed money to buy his APC form while the moral conman sat back in his Katsina ranch, flanked by his unproductive cows, laughed them to scorn for their monumental idiocy.

Today, the mannequin has ruined every living and dead thing in Nigeria. The situation currently in Nigeria in every sector is beyond disaster.

The same scenario played out in the making of their Supercop.

Abba Kyari the Supercop has the power to kill and to make alive. He has the power to determine ones future or terminate it. No one can question his authority. Historians call it gunboat diplomacy during the White invasion of Africa but what we have here is jungle diplomacy. No trial for alleged criminals. No proper burial for alleged criminals. No proper closure for the families of alleged criminals, only the justice of the Supercop is acceptable. And normal people cheered this madness. Only a jungle presided by cavemen can accept this brand of justice.

He can move into a village with his murderous commando outfit, shoot everything that moves and move everything that refuses to move. That was the enormous power he wielded. Ask the thousands of people whose lives were wasted how many of them went through a normal judicial process to plead their cases. Yet Nigerians, a country populated by moral infidels and repulsive religious prostitutes celebrated this conman as a Supercop.

Hushpuppy was able to paint a graphic example of the true personality of the Supercop. He gave him money to put his friend in solitary confinement for ease of of operation in his fraudulent profession. I wonder how many people gave him money to silence opponents and brand them armed robbers or IPOB irritants.

The North have unwittingly brainwashed many of you. They are propping up this murderer for the position of future IGP. He fits the description of that persona that could carry on with their murderous dirty jobs and silence outsiders while the Southern mumulectuals keep writing unconscionable bollocks for their bellies. That's why the North and the enablers of evil in the South have been very quiet since Hushpuppy and the FBI bursted their man.

I have an idea of what a Supercop ought not to be. They are so busy that they don't have time for photo ops before operation. They are so busy that they don't have time to attend every Owambe party and eat cows flanked by celebrities at Oba. They devote their time to bursting crimes not posing for pictures with his funders.

Abba Kyari is a Super crook and a Super murderer and definitely not a Supercop.

The only way he can prove his innocence is to board the free aircraft to the United States. Allen Onyema did it why not he?

May God himself avenge the blood of all the people these criminals murdered innocently and may those supporting him become victims of their crime.

Reno Omokri has been recruited. He was recruited immediately Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was rendered to Nigeria by Fulani controlled Nigeria government, in collaboration with with Kenyan government.

His duty is to undo the unity built by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has united the Yoruba and the Igbo and made them to stand on one thing. They now protest side by side. They are demanding for referendum for Biafra and Oduduwa Republic.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has woken up the Middle Belt and even the Hausa man conquered in 1804 by Uthman Dan Fodio, a Fulani man.

This is what Reno has come to undue. He started with an attack of lies against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. He then tried to set Igbo against Yoruba. Now he has related to you how Bini and Itsekiri had Igbo people as slaves. According to him, ndị Igbo answering Igbo names around them were their former slaves.
How come Itsekiri that is not up to 2% of Ndị Igbo used Igbo people as their slaves? How did slaves made their masters take up their language and culture? The game is simple. He wants you to start fighting Bini and Itsekiri online and with it create more enemy of ourselves.

Reno is afraid of the Unity of the South. This unity will stop the coming of PDP and that's what Reno wants to stop. Reno needs Nigeria to remain this way. Reno and people like him want you to live and swim in poverty. Reno wants you to always come to his twitter handle to scavenge for 10k or 5k. His interest is a PDP come back. The ongoing unity of purpose will hurt his ambition. Reno doesn't care about your freedom. His generation is already covered. He has stolen enough to guarantee that.

Reno is a desperate politician. I laugh at those calling him a pastor. Reno will walk into APC should Goodluck Jonathan join APC. And then you will understand the type of human that man is.

Reno will keep dwindling. He is at the top presently, but he will keep going down. He will fail in his effort to make us go against ourselves. Reno is too small to stop the division of Nigeria.

IPOB is too sophisticated to be dribbled by the likes of Reno who feed fat on the suffering of the people.

*WE ARE CLASSMATE ONLY IN SCHOOL, AFTER SCHOOL EVERYBODY FIND HIS OR HER CLASS IN LIFE !!!*

*By A. I. Mustapha*
*Mighty Aim*

I was thinking this morning..... about our speed in this race of life. Last Sunday, I was privileged to attend the wedding of the daughter of my good friend and former classmate in the College. As I sat as part of the guests at the reception, listening to the proud MOB (mother of the bride) giving her speech, I reflected on how far we've come as former classmates in school. I considered how her children are of marriage-able age (the youngest just turned 20), while mine are still teenagers. I recalled another classmate of ours whose son just graduated as a medical doctor, but mine just about entering Secondary school. As I pondered on why it seems I am lagging behind, the face of another of our classmate flashed by and I was reminded that his children are still in Nursery school While some of my classmates are yet to find their missing ribs. At this point, it dawned on me that though we were all classmates and graduated together same year, life has shuffled us and placed us in different classes today. We were classmates in school, but not classmates in life. Everyone has his unique class. I concluded that in the school of life there are no classmates, because Life is a class of one.

Life is a class of one. Hmm!!! That conclusion held me down for a bit. Ten years after I got employed in my dream job, getting a second promotion became a prayer point. One day, a colleague that we came in together on same level walked up to me and said 'Bro, na wa o! We came in together and I have gotten three promotions and you, just one. Is there something you are not doing?' I left him feeling bad but not for long because soon after, I realised that in the school of life there are no classmates. Life is a class of one. He is on his path while I am on mine.

Have you considered why, from the same branch of a tree you have both ripe and unripe fruits? The seeds were released same time, exposed to same nutrients and environmental conditions but yet some ripen before others. Identical twins that deliberately wait for each other to be in the same class, engage in the same business like P-Square (Peter and Paul Okoye) and even wed on the same day, will not get their wives pregnant on the same day. Life is a differentiator. My mind is made up that Life is a class of one.

If it is true that in the school of life there are no classmates, because Life is a class of one, then why do we look at another and feel inadquate, like we are not where we should be? Why would someone that has been privileged to be in a somewhat lofty position look down on others like he is superior in some way? Life is a class of one. I am in my class for now (it can always change) and you are in yours. Do not sweat over the class others are in, because there are no classmates in life. If you like, give yourself double promotion like we do in those days, life will eventually place you in the class you are meant to be.

*Do not compare yourself with anyone, because you are in a class of one.*
*There are no classmates in life.*

Let's ponder on this as we journey through life.
