I tell you

*TIME* *TO* *REASON* *TOGETHER*

*UNDERSTANDING* *THE* *TREND* *OF* *WAR*

I want ourpeople , both the pro and anti protest factions on the field and the social media, to understand the trend of war .

*NOTE*

It is always a trend. From Libya to Syria to Yemen to CAR to Somalia to Liberia to Sierra Leone to Ivory Coast to Rwanda. Here are the stages:


*PLOT* *1*

People protest

*PLOT* *2*

Many try to encourage them.

Soldiers fire live ammunition into crowds to scare or disperse protesters.


*PLOT* *3*

Mob retaliate and burn down government and influential leaders' assets.

*PLOT* *4*

Army and police withdraw due to international pressure. They begin to guard their barracks only.

*PLOT* *5*


Anarchy sets in. Mob goes after assets of prominent figures and in some cases notable government officials.


Powerful and influential people flee abroad with their families.


*PLOT* *6*

Mob goes after assets and lives of middle class or anyone that has semblance of wealth or conncetion with the government.


Estates housing the middle classes or government officials are attacked.



Remember, no more police or army to protect them.


*PLOT* *7*

Full scale war breaks out as opportunists with group interests and egos take over


*NOTE* : Is it an open secret that a few groups have been campaigning for the break up of the country.


Competing interests and internecine wars end up tearing the country apart.

*PLOT* *8*

Refugees flee the country in millions to become beggars in other countries.

*NOTE*
Which country in West Africa has the capacity to take refugees from our country?

Remember, the population of Lagos alone is hgher than that of most West African countries.

*PLOT* *9*

I heard some people are saying US will come in.

I laughed.

To do what?

Has the US finished solving its own many problems.


Common, this is not the 1960s!

No external forces will quell the in fighting.

It will be our cup of tea.

Remember a few of them have predicted that our country might not exist in the next few years.

Gotten it?


The internal wars will be a continuous recurring decimation.


With no uniting force, no military or police or government, we might have the Libya scenario.


I hope we are paying attention and praying.


All those mansions, designers this and that, and even loved ones could disappear in twinkle of an eye.


Those abroad that are fanning the flames will be eating Kentucky chicken in their respective cozy homes.


US, UK and the UN will turn blind eye, except the UN peace keepers who will be kept in one expensive hotel - Remember hotel Rwanda?


UK, US will sell us arms and buy free passage and licences to mine our natural resources.


What we all need NOW is CAUTION FROM ALL SIDES.

If we continue this way, no one will be the winner.

If the country scatters, God forbid, no group or faction will get what they want, not even the youths or the celebrities calling the shot via the social media.

*TIME* *TO* *RETREAT*


*THE* *PROTESTING* *YOUTHS* , *SHOULD* *WISE* *UP* . *INTERESTS* *BEYOND* *THEIR* *CONTROL* *HAVE* *HIJACKED* *THE* *PROTEST* . *THEY* *ARE* *NO* *LONGER* *IN* *CONTROL* .


Parents who have seen wars before must call their children to order.


Why destroy the States' limited resurces and heritage when most of what you are protesting about are constitutionally beyond the powers of a State government?


Again , I cite the example of - South Sudan, Libiya, Syria, Iraq, Sierra Leone - years of wonton destruction , loss of lives and livelihoods.
Everything and everyone will be on the route to destruction millions of naira in the bank will be worth less than toilet roll.


Houses become unliveable.

This is no longer about who is right or wrong, it is about who will be safe?

dukeprince50:
Any country practicing democracy should be ready to spend so much on governance, its self explanatory. That is one of the disadvantage of democracy

bad governance increases the cost though

dukeprince50:
democracy is an expensive system of government and nothing could be done about it. if we want to save cost, we should not practise democracy then

#ENDSARS #ENDBADGOVERNANCE

sars come back ooo

Controversial Nigerian journalist, Kemi Olunloyo has condemned the ongoing #EndSARs protest and further encouraged the Federal Government to shut down social media.
The investigative journalist considers the fight against police brutality and harassment of Nigerian youths as unwarranted and an unnecessary cause.
In a tweet, Dr. Kemi Olunloyo stated that such a move is not so special as countries like China, Turkey, and Tokyo have once shut down the internet in such circumstances.
“China did it Turkey did it Togo did it I’m an international Journalist and I support the Government SHUTTING DOWN @Twitter @instagram and @Facebook during the #EndSarsNow uprising. Last week I said this country will shut down in a week, the same ppl abusing me. #ShutltAllDown.” She wrote.

See comments and reactions

Nkem Jacob: Dr Kemi. how did you feel when the police/SARS embarrassed you , your child , and your signee .. on your way back from the studio?
I remember how you came down from the car, did a 360 turn .. and began threatening them , asking them if they knew who you are .. at that point you remembered the position your father has/had and how many people you know in Nigeria .. you also spoke about the places you have worked and your international recognition..etc
Dr Kemi. You have forgotten that most people being harassed have no body to speak for them .. most are genuine people who work hard and are naturally clean with good taste and sense of fashion and they get killed ..
And the only advice you thought of in your head and in your mind is for the government to shutdown social media.
Most of us have no where to go aside this Nigeria .. you say what ever you feel like because you probably have a dual citizenship.
We done tire for you self . With all your first class see the rubbish you dy talk .. Abeg take style deactivate your social media let us concentrate .
Oge Rita: Old woman…old woman….old woman…. No make Buhari come reason this matter ooo cus if e happen ehh…Old woman honestly na better fight me and you get ooo….
The only joy giver in this country once you get your data na em you dey say make them shut down….orie bajeee
God’stime Iyayi: This woman is mad, cause no Sane person would wake up and spit such rubbish.
Besides it’s her that needs to leave social media, so we all can hear word.
Chima Njoku: This woman isn’t normal she needs to go to hospital .You can imagine what she is saying for crying out loud we need to end this police brutality once and for all .#EndSARS for us and our future generations.
Peter Uchendu: This woman is a real witch, she is among the evil that refuse Nigeria to move forward, see her face like SARS uniform.

Nigeria has fallen

Benin city when compare to London!!!
When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”, at a time when there were hardly any other places in Africa the Europeans acknowledged as a city. Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world.
In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain
Lourenco Pinto observed : “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”
In contrast, London at the same time is
described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”.
The early foreign explorers’ descriptions of Benin City portrayed it as a place free of crime and hunger, with large streets and houses kept clean; a city filled with courteous, honest people, and run by a centralised and highly sophisticated bureaucracy.
what is the story now
Can we still claim these ?

Ali Mazrui called it the "The Tripple Heritage" ; the tragedy that is the undoing of our Country Nigeria..read on:-
EVERY NIGERIAN THAT LOVES NIGERIA OUGHT TO READ THIS WITH PATIENCE.
The biggest country in Africa that the United Kingdom colonized is Nigeria.
The biggest country that the United Kingdom colonized in Asia is India (which then comprised the present Pakistan and Bangladesh).
When the UK came into Nigeria and India, like all other countries they colonized, they brought along their technology, religion (Christianity), and culture: names, dressing, food, language, etc.
Try as hard as the British did, India rejected the British religion, names, dressing, food, and even language, but they did not reject the British technology.
Today, 80.5% of Indians are Hindus; 13.4% Muslims; 2.3% Christians; 1.9% Sikhs; 0.8% Buddhists, etc.
Hindi is the official language of the government of India, but English is used extensively in business and administration and has the status of a “subsidiary official language.”
It is rare to find an Indian with an English name or dressed On the other hand, Nigeria embraced, to a large extent, the British religion, British culture – names, dressing, foods, and language – but rejected the British technology.
The difference between the Nigerian and the Indian experiences is that while India is proud of its heritage, Nigeria takes little pride in its heritage, a situation that has affected the nationalism of Nigerians and our development as a nation.
Before the advent of Christianity, the Arabs had brought Islam into Nigeria through the North.
Islam also wiped away much of the culture of Northern Nigeria.
Today, the North has only Sharia Courts but no Customary Courts.
So from the North to the South of Nigeria, the Western World and the Eastern
World have shaped our lives to be like theirs and we have lost much or all of our identity.
Long after the British and Arabs left Nigeria, Nigeria has waxed strong in religion to the extent that Nigerians now set up religious branches of their homegrown churches in Europe, the Americas, Asia and other African countries.
Just like the Whites brought the gospel to us, Nigerians now take the gospel back to the Whites.
In Islam, we are also very vibrant to the extent that if there is a blasphemous comment against Islam in Denmark or the US, even if there is no violent reaction in Saudi Arabia, the Islamic headquarters of the world, there will be loss of lives and destruction of property in Nigeria.
If the United Arab Emirates, a country with 75% Muslims, is erecting the tallest building in the world and encouraging the world to come and invest in its country by providing a friendly environment, Boko Haram ensures that the economy of the North (and by extension that of Nigeria) is crippled with bombs and bullets unless every Nigerian converts to Boko Haram’s brand of Islam.
In the East we have IPOB.
While in the South - South region, Mend, Avengers and so on destroying the Heart of our Nations Economy.
We are indeed a very religious people.
Meanwhile, while we are building the biggest churches and mosques, the Indians, South Africans, Chinese, Europeans and Americans have taken over our key markets: telecoms, satellite TV, multinationals, banking, oil and gas, automobile, aviation, shopping malls, hospitality, etc.
Ironically, despite our exploits in religion, we are a people with little godliness, a people without scruples.
It is rare to do business with a Nigerian pastor, deacon, knight, elder, brother, sister, imam, mullah, mallam, alhaji or alhaja without the person laying landmines of bribes and deception on your path.
We call it PR, facilitation fee, processing fee, transport money, financial engineering, deal, or whatever.
But if it does not change hands, nothing gets done.
And when it is amassed, we say it is “God’s blessings.”
Some people assume that sleaze is a problem of public functionaries, but the private sector seems to be worse than the public sector these days.
One would have assumed that the more churches and mosques that spring up in every nook and cranny of Nigeria, the higher the
morals in our society.
But it is not so.
The situation is that the more religious we get, more ungodly we become.
Our land never knew the type of bloodshed experienced from religious extremists, political desperadoes, ritual killers, armed robbers, kidnappers, internet scammers, university cultists, and lynch mobs.
Life has become so cheap and brutish that everyday seems to be a bonanza.
We import the petroleum that we have in abundance, rice and beans that our land can produce in abundance, and even toothpicks that primary school children can produce with little or no effort.
Yet we drive the best of cars and live in the best of edifices, visit the best places in the world for holidays and use the most expensive electronic and telecoms gadgets.
It is now a sign of poverty for a Nigerian to ride a saloon car. Four-wheel drive is it!
Even government officials, who were known to use only Peugeot cars as official cars as a sign of modesty, have upgraded to Toyota Prado, without any iota of shame, in a country
where about 70 per cent live below poverty.
Private jets have become a common toy for many citizens who have no known business.
A nation that imports toothpicks and pins, flaunts wealth and wallows in ostentation at a time its children are trooping to Ghana, South Africa and the UK for university education
and its sick people are running to India for treatment.
India produces automobile and exports it to the world. India’s medical care is second to none, with even Americans and Europeans
travelling to the country for medical treatment.
India has joined the nuclear powers. India has launched a successful mission to the moon.
Yet bicycles and tricycles are common sights in India. But in Nigeria, only the wretched of the earth ride bicycles.
I have intentionally chosen to compare Nigeria with India rather than China, South Korea, Brazil, Malaysia, or Singapore, because of the similarities between India and Nigeria. But these countries were not as promising as Nigeria at the time of our independence.
Some would say that our undoing is our size: the 2012 United Nations estimate puts Nigeria’s population at 166 million, while India has a population of about a billion.
Some would blame it on the multiplicity of ethnic groups: we have 250 ethnic groups; India has more than 2000 ethnic groups.
Some would hang it on the diversity in religion: we have two major religions – Christianity and Islam; but India has many.
Some would say it is because we are young as an independent nation: we have 56 years of independence; India has 65 years, while apartheid ended in South Africa only in 1994.
We need more godliness than religion; more work and less hope; and more action and less words.
Let everyone tidy up his or her corner first and demand fervently that our leaders tidy their areas of governance. Our nation is degenerating at a fast pace and we need to save it now.
We as a people must positively change our attitude towards our dear country!
Please SHARE this with every Nigerian you know.

Isn't it high time we swallowed our pride of being big or giant for nothing? Chad did to boko haram in one day, what Nigerian govt couldn't do in 5 years.

But is it not too shameful??

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno of state has pleaded with the federal government to seek the support of the Chadian army in the fight against the Boko Haram insurgency.
The Cable reported that Abdulrazaque Bello-Barkindo, spokesman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), said Governor Zulum made the call when he hosted some governors in Maiduguri on Wednesday, September 30.

The police in Imo on Wednesday led detachments of the Nigerian Army and Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in a show of strength in Owerri, the state capital ahead of the sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on October 1.
The exercise took off from the State Police Command headquarters, Owerri at about 10 am and moved round the major streets within the capital city.
The convoy included an Armoured Personnel Carrier and several patrol vans, loaded with heavily armed men, raising tension amongst residents within the state capital.
The Nation learned the Show of Force, which caused heavy gridlock in the state capital, also took place in all the ten police area commands that make up the state.
