Nigerians seriously curious to know the wherabouts of YEMI OSIBANJO....KEEP ON TWEETING...

Encouraging news....

"We demand to know the whereabouts of our son Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, the vice president of Nigeria whom we have not seen or heard about him for the past few months we are calling on Aso rock for the immediate release of our son from captivity."

_____Yoruba Unity Forum (YUF)

I commend the rare courage of YUF and the likes of Prof. Akintoye for remaining unwaveringly stuck on the path of TRUTH and justice. More well meaning Yoruba leaders must rise up now to demand elements in the lugubriously named “PRESIDENCY” whoever that might be now Abba Kyari is dead, to please release VP Yemi Osinbajo, he is not the one feeding me your dark secrets.
Acting on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves defines our humanity. This is a lesson hypocritical one Nigeria nationalists must learn.

I'm earnestly asking of the whereabout of Mr. Osinbajo, the defecto President of Nigeria.

#WhereIsOsinbajo is a very big TREND ON TWITTER.

The Yoruba World Congress has said that the late Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari, hijacked government as de facto president when he was alive.

The group in a statement by its leader and President-General, Prof Banjo Akintoye, wondered why ministers, ambassadors, state governors, National Assembly members and even the Vice President should be subjected to the absurdity of going through the Chief of Staff to see the President.

Prof Akintoye said Kyari’s unconstitutional position had shown that Nigeria was being run as a banana republic.

The statement reads, “Garba Shehu said that the fact that Abba Kyari passed away does not mean that there is a vacuum in the government of Nigeria; that though Abba Kyari had been away for one month before he died, yet the job of government had not stopped; that there is a structure in place to ensure continuity, even though it is the President's eventual responsibility to decide who takes over from Abba Kyari.

“Our position is that Nigeria is being run as a banana republic, a country in which the structure of government depends on the whims and caprices of the leader of the government.

“This is outrageous and unacceptable should stop immediately. Nigeria is a fully constitutional republic in which the structure of government is laid down by the constitution.

“Therefore, it is outrageous and unacceptable that constitutionally provided for and constitutionally appointed office holders should under any circumstances be subjected to the absurdity of having to go through the Chief of Staff to see the President.

“A Chief of Staff is no more than the head of the President's kitchen cabinet, the President’s own personal collection of personal staff that has no superiority to the structural pillars established by the constitution of Nigeria.

“Abba Kyari’s unconstitutional position as de facto president in recent times, coupled with an elected President who is periodically nowhere to be found, has seriously denuded the legitimacy of government in our country.

“It represents the ultimate manifestation of the seizure of government by a cabal belonging to a small section of our country, an unconstitutional seizure of government that is being effected and perpetuated by impunity, and by spiteful disregard of the respect due to the other sections and nationalities of our country who together constitute the majority in our country.

“We the majority of Nigerians have watched with shock and pain, and other nations of the world have been looking at us with total disbelief and pity as our country has been run like the personal estate of a small cabal.

“We have a Vice President who has been boxed into a disrespectful corner simply because he does not belong to the self-appointed owners of our country.”

MAZI NNAMDI KANU: A RARE GEM

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has a spirit larger than all the negative aspersions people cast on him.
No matter how bad you want to disparage him, he is way bigger than that. He is free spirit.
A well meaning Igbo who truly and genuinely care about our collective good, and the urgency for us to be separated from the geographical area currently known as Nigeria should know better than ill commentaries on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his modus operandi.
He has taken our battle for Self Determination beyond our collective imaginations, more than ever before has the world come to understand our plight as a people.

The fact is that human nature in the form of "why not me, why him" has shrouded the minds of the very same people (not all) for whom Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has sacrificed his life and freedom.

I sometimes wonder whether this untoward attitude was one of the reasons we had lost the Biafran war.
Growing up in Lagos, and especially after supper, my father used to tell us the stories of saboteurs who were Igbo, who actively participated in bringing down the Republic of Biafra. Today, I am witnessing same playing out in this present life.
No matter how subtle or disguised, we know sabotage when we see one.
Every human has a natural cognitive ability, and can independently understand anything without assistance from another. We therefore can't be easily deceived by the haters of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

I have observed the group MOBIN in all their ramifications, I say ramifications, because they replicate themselves in various forms and have different names for each form, but one thing remains constant and which easily gives them away; it is their resentment for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

My question is, how do you plan to succeed when you destroy another in your bid for success. Foul. You are not going anywhere.
He that destroys another in order to succeed, shall meet destroy waiting at his doorstep. It is the law of nature.
Going forward, why not simply do your own thing without having to always cast negative aspersions on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who fortunately for the Igbo noble cause, has gained international recognition for this life and millions of generations to come.
His name Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his acronym MNK have been written in Gold in the History of Humankind.

Biafra is upon us.
I thank you.

■ HERE ARE THE FACES OF THE REAL UNELECTED RULERS OF NIGERIA FREQUENTLY REFERRED TO AS THE PRESIDENCY (Keepers of the SECRET OF BUHARI'S DEATH)

Yesterday these shadowy figures selected Baba Gana Kingibe, the first picture below, as the replacement for Abba Kyari, the face of the Nigerian PRESIDENCY, the new de-facto president of the Zoological Republic of Nigeria and guardian of Jubril Al-Sudani. His mandate is to keep the deception going with the help of a corrupt media establishment, that Jubril is indeed Buhari, until the Fulani 8 years in power is completed. His hardest task is to make sure Jubril doesn't attract enough unwarranted attention that will mess things up.

Despite the best efforts of Ismaila Isah Funtua and Sam Ndah Isaiah, the British Government informed the Sultan of Sokoto, Abdulsalami Abubakar and Ibrahim Babangida that their prefered choice is their spy and informant Baba Gana Kingibe. The British Government regard him as the person that will stop China from completely re-colonising Nigeria that will hurt their economic and political control of the Zoo they created. Those behind the move to invite the Chinese Communist Part lost out because the United Kingdom Government needed another British trained spy like Abba Kyari in the person of Baba Gana Kingibe to ensure Nigeria remains a British supermarket.
Millions of Nigerians with their worthless PVCs are busy gossiping about the diseased corpse of Abba Kyari while the most important election, sorry selection, of the new president of their country were going on without their involvement. Yemi Osinbajo, should he be released from detention alive, will now report to his new boss Baba Gana Kingibe.

During my broadcast tonight at 7 pm here on Facebook LIVE I shall expose the names of all those involved in this grand conspiracy of concealment of the truth and how they plan to continue deceiving their gullible citizens.

■ The 64 Thousand Dollar Question is, will the British Government be prepared to share their prized possession Nigeria with the Chinese Communist Party?

Your paper and pen must be close to you.
7pm is for the Gospel of truth. Chukwuokike Abiama is always on the throne!

Osinbajo must speak to Nigerians LIVE on TV, ANY ANOTHER EXCUSE DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!

WITH THIS BRAND OF JOURNALISM, WHY WON’T SEEMINGLY SENSIBLE PEOPLE BE TURNED INTO WILD ANIMALS
A contraption consumed in their own web of lies and deceit. Gutter journalism lacking in essence and relevance. Nigeria (the great Zoo) a den of liars and deceivers. A contraption without soul nor conscience. A British cage, a Chinese laboratory, a Zoo. An abomination before God and man.
Ordinary truth about Abba Kyari’s true age they can’t tell.
1. Abba Kyari (1952-2020) - Channels TV
2. Abba Kyari (1949-2020) - TVC
3. Abba Kyari (1938-2020) - Leadership
4. Abba Kyari (81 Years) - Punch
As one commented noted, are these people not mad? Legendary Zoological � Republic �� and their unique brand of Lagos-Ibadan Expressway journalism.

I worry for the safety and life of Osinbajo.
Where is the Vice President?

Obia NwaBiafra Samson Orji: You are the true prophet of our time mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the supreme leader of the indigenous people of Biafra. My daddy, my daddy.

Osita CG Okafor: IPOB intelligent teams are the best you can see anywhere in the world. We warned them

Excellency Slick Ogbu: The law of karma ... Our love is so good. In no distance time this Golden gifts #Biafra from Elohim will be a reality onto his children all hail United States of Biafra ( USB!) thank you mazi Samson gburu (#Agu - Lion) kanu... God bless you

Jhayphil:





Please, continue to see him as a psycho o. The VP has been ever active with the Economic sustainability committee and has been chairing the meetings. If he is sick, will he chair meetings? He was interviewed after presenting their deliberations to the President. Please, if he is sick how possible will all these be?

lets mr. osibanjo address nigerians alive on TV. Is that too much for asking?

Edeh Oforbuike OjodomoBiafr: WE ARE GOING HOME, THE CREATOR IS NOT AT SLEEP AND HAS NEVER BEEN AT SLEEP, ABBA KYARI EVEN IN DEATH YOU WILL NEVER REST

THE GOVERNMENT OF PHOTOSHOP IS GONE FOREVER

As they prepare to bury the ashes of Abba Kyari this morning in Abuja, let it be known that contrary to government directives, Abba Kyari's body was cremated in Cuba upon being pronounced dead two weeks ago when his life support machine was switched off.

Impoverished, hungry and angry masses in the north must cut-off the escape route of Coronavirus infected Buratai who has fled Nigeria through land border into Niger Republic while telling confused gullible Nigerians that he is Borno fighting Boko Haram and won't return until he has defeated them. He knows he is no longer coming back.

¤ Yoruba nation your son Yemi Osinbajo in very sick and dying from Corona virus infection he got from Abba Kyari.
¤ Femi Adesina also is sick and dying of Coronavirus
¤ The main office of the presidential is locked and inaccessible because only the biometric details of Abba Kyari can open it. Now all they brought back was Abba Kyaris ashes, the Chinese they brought are working to dismantle the bomb proof doors.

Nigeria is gone, help us give her a befitting funeral tonight by joining my emergency broadcast tonight at 7 pm GMT.

THEY(FULANIS) ARE COMING FOR ALL OF US!!!

The fulanis understand some fundamental facts about their existence within Nigeria which are they are not indigenous within the contraption called Nigeria and that religion is a means of conquest against warrior tribes.
The present world order created by the Europeans was built on colonization and extermination and subjugation of indigenous people all over the world including Africa.
The Fulanis know that there is nothing like omoluabi or morality in the quest for power and access to scarce natural resources in the world. The only way they can have anything is to kill and subjugate others. To make matters worse they have mastered the act of lying and deceit together with their brutish nature of warfare.

Charles Darwin postulated the theory of Evolution that life is a survival of the fittest and only the fittest will survive. The fulanis will kill, maim and pillage till all of us are consumed. There is no stopping to their destruction. They are coming for all of us.

We either stand our ground or we perish. They are coming for all of us.

To counter that propaganda, writers reflecting on that past have often framed the war as genocide. A common feature in the writings is the comparison of Igbo experiences of atrocities to Jewish ones during the Holocaust.

The Holocaust as cultural icon of genocide

During the Biafran War, U.S.-based Igbo poet, Onwuchekwa Jemie, compared the murder of Igbos in Nigeria to the Nazi German murder of Jews during the Second World War. His poem, “Requiem” (from his 1970 poetry collection, Biafra: Requiem for the Dead in War) reflects this:

Once in 53
Three times in 66
Nigerians shoot civilians
through the ears
rehearsing all known tortures
murdering all males
and raping old women
forcing teenage girls in leper clinics
hundreds butchered…
the 30,000 innocents
mowed down Nazi fashion
a final solution
that failed again.

In “Requiem,” Jemie catalogues the systematic persecutions and murders of Igbo civilians, which he considers similar to the Nazis’ “final solution.”

The lines “a final solution / that failed again” encapsulate the poet’s defiant view that Biafra will survive the genocidal onslaught from Nigeria.

Global history scholar Lasse Heerten has explained in his work on Biafra, that such comparisons of Igbo suffering to the Nazi genocide of Jews reveal the growing awareness of the Holocaust in African conflict zones at the time.
The comparison of Igbo suffering to the Holocaust offers a way for the writers to internationalize Igbo experience in Nigeria. In so doing, they are sharing a moral message about the universal condition of human cruelty.

The cruel human condition

Similarly, the 1971 poem “Vultures” by Chinua Achebe reflects on the troubling realization that humans possess simultaneously a capacity for human care and a vulture’s inhumane savagery. The poet imagines a Nigerian military commander as a vulture and compares him to the Commandant of the Nazis’ death camp at Belsen:

Thus the Commandant at Belsen

Camp going home for
the day with fumes of
human roast clinging
rebelliously to his hairy
nostrils will stop
at the wayside sweetshop
and pick up a chocolate
for his tender offspring
waiting at home for Daddy’s
return…
‘Christmas in Biafra and other Poems’ by Chinua Achebe was published in 1973 and includes ‘Vultures.’ Anchor Books
Achebe’s reference to the Holocaust evokes the Nazi death camps as a site of savagery: “fumes of / human roast.” He seems to be alluding to Paul Celan’s 1948 poem, “Death Fugue,” which describes the cremation of Jewish victims in the Nazi camps as a “grave in the sky.”
Reference to the Holocaust in Achebe’s poem provides a way to meditate on the ironic condition of human cruelty.
Another writer who used the Holocaust as a metaphor for moralizing about the human condition is Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka, who was jailed for his attempts to mediate between Biafra and Nigeria. His 1972 prison memoir The Man Died expresses his frustration over the unending cycles of brutality and the pattern of genocidal murders taking place in Nigeria. Soyinka’s other books, plays and poems on the 1966-1970 crisis equally draw on the Holocaust as a way to comment on cruelty.
‘And the World Has Remained Silent’
Half of a Yellow Sun.
Such comparison between Igbo suffering and the Holocaust intending to convey a moral message on human condition can be found in several other writings, including Flora Nwapa’s Never Again, Chris Abani’s Graceland (2004), Nnedi Okorafor’s fantasy novels, Who Fears Death (2010) and The Book of Phoenix(2015), and notably too in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel, Half of a Yellow Sun (2006).
In Half of a Yellow Sun, there are several instances comparing the experiences of Igbos to those of Jews under the Nazis.
For example, the title of the character Ugwu’s story, ‘The World Was Silent When We Died,’ echoes the original Yiddish title of Elie Wiesel’s Holocaust memoir, Un di Velt Hot Geshvign, (“And the World Has Remained Silent”).
Universalize can also mean generalize
I believe these literary analogies between Jewish and Igbo experiences have helped to make the atrocities public and known. However, these analogies can also overwhelm the particulars of the Nigerian context of the crisis.
Because the political contexts of such historical mass atrocities being compared vary significantly, these comparisons may come at the cost of our understanding of genocide in African states. Both African and European historical contexts within which these atrocities occurred may become de-territorialized and depoliticized.
In the meantime, local suppression of political questions of Igbo self-determination and justice in the war’s aftermath remain unaddressed.

During the massacre of Igbos in Nigeria between 1966 and 1970, one to three million people died. In the decades since, writers have worked to make sense of the immense human tragedy.
These literary representations of the massacres use the Holocaustas an important point of reference.
The war in Nigeria, with its associated mass atrocities, is arguably one of the first major moments in postcolonial Africa when accusations of genocide were made. Following military coups in Nigeria in 1966, the military and ethnic extremists systematically targeted and killed Igbos across the then Northern and Western regions of Nigeria.

Massacres of Igbos and other Easterners across the country led to thousands of deaths and the displacement of millions.
The massacres led the Eastern Region of Nigeria to declare its secession from Nigeria. The region was renamed the republic of Biafra. Nigeria invaded Biafra in July 1967, leading to a protracted war. The federal government used starvation tactics which led to upwards of three million civilian deaths in Biafra. Biafra officially surrendered to Nigeria in January 1970.

After its genocidal war, the Nigerian government proceeded to engineer a culture of denial.
