OYEDEPO, ENENCHE, KUKAH ETC, ADEBOYE HAS SET AN EXAMPLE

I commend you pastor E. A Adeboye for your prayer walk against Insecurity in Nigeria. Even though some times I frown at pastors meddling into politics, but it's your right and that of your members to demand for good governance and end to killings.

I commend you for the way you conducted yourself and your members peacefully through out the walk and the way you kept political undertone out of it with the placards and signboards you displayed.

Unlike some pastors and self acclaimed men of God that would have made political gain out of it. With political messages, utterances that can further escalate the volatile nature of the security situation of our nation. Kukah, Enenche, Oyedepo, and other political pastors hope you can see how to pass a message without hitting the polity. I could remereme when Oyedepo read out a letter allegedly sent to him by Fulani herdsmen of how they want to take over West Africa and Nigeria, as well as other messages that look like he belong to a political party in Nigeria. Change your ways before it's too late because the Bible doesn't susuppo pastors behaving like politicians.

Sir. I believe God has answered your prayers, and the rightful authorities have seen your message. God bless you, your family and your congregation.

WHY CAN'T WE ACT WITH SANITY IN THIS COUNTRY?

Why can't we act with sanity in this country? Must we all behave like motor park touts? I get really pained when I see what is not suppose to still be happening in our growing democracy, happening at this time.

First one guy loses election. By virtue of that, you are an opposition. Few months after losing an election that you never came third or fourth, you started shouting "Revolution". What do you expect? Must you heat up the polity? Why not make your reservations about a government known through proper channels as a learned man and within ambient of peaceful agitation?
Now you are arrested (which was inevitable) because no where in the world that you will want to overthrow a democratically elected government and they fold their arms, watching you carry out the threat.

Now, you are arrested and detained. If we must be sincere, in our volatile democracy and political terrain, you are a threat to national peace and stability and detaining you for a while might be needed. (forget the noise by some people, only a very few will tolerate someone going against their government).

Courts ordered for his release. He wasn't released. An action that should not have been taken by the security agents, but you never can tell their reasons and it's implications for national security, that made them take such action. (If you are close to a government or have held leadership position, you will understand there are some cases that make governments behave the way they do).

Finally he was released. Then rerarrested 24 hours later.  I believe the security agents have their reasons, but must he be rerarrested with this speed? Why can't we do the right thing? Why can't we just go about our lives in peace? Why can't the politicians just play by the rules? Why can't the citizens stand up against erring politicians no matter their political divide? Why can't the people understand that they suffer most in all these?
Why? Why? Why?

Adeleke don't Celebrate yet, Dakuku, and Mama Taraba also won at the Tribunal

Adeleke Don't celebrate yet, Dakuku, and Mama Taraba also won at the tribunal

I was walking home from work when a friend called me with joyous tone that the tribunal has declared the pdp candidate for Osun Gubernatorial election winner. I asked what was the celebration all about he said he is now the governor na. I just called him "olodo and dropped the call.

Tribunal judgements since election cases gets to the Supreme Court has become mere academic exercise. After the 2015 governorship election, many candidates who lost the election went to court. Yours truly followed the cases of the then Rivers State Apc governorship candidate, Dr. Dakuku Adol Peterside and Taraba State governorship candidate of the Apc Mrs Aisha Alhassan, (Mama Taraba).

These candidates won at the tribunal and the court of appeal but lost at the apex court. So what's the celebration all about? Adeleke and the PDP should not celebrate yet until this matter gets to the Supreme Court.
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/12/breaking-appeal-court-sacks-gov-wike-orders-fresh-election-in-rivers/
http://dailypost.ng/2015/11/07/breaking-tribunal-nullifies-governor-ishakus-election-declares-mama-taraba-winner/

So I wonder the need for this half celebration that might be shortlived.
People should understand intrigues of legal battles before rushing to celebrate.
Let's keep our fingers crossed.

BUHARI SHOULD CONTEST IN 2019 BECAUSE OF OBASANJO’S LETTER

BUHARI SHOULD CONTEST IN 2019 BECAUSE OF OBASANJO’S LETTER.

Yesterday I read a letter by former President Olusegun Obasanjo. Normally those days whenever I see headlines, I don't bother reading cos I already know what is contained in it. But I decided to read from start to finish simply because it's coming from former Obasanjo and to pen down the points raised in the letter. But I have a digression from his opinion? Have anyone noticed that Obasanjo always appears to be a hero in all of his letters and opinions? One would think that when Obasanjo supervised the affairs of Nigeria, all was Uhuru but it's wasn't so because no sector can be said to be perfect of near perfect after he left office.

This is not the first time Obasanjo would want to play God or even see himself as the father of Nigeria. It was this same Obasanjo that came to Rivers State and declared a free and fair PDP governorship Primary as having K-leg. Denying the authentic winner his right and gave it to someone else. This same Obasanjo started a third term Agenda trying to mock our Constitution by changing it to suit him to run for an undemocratic third term. Obasanjo who was later disgraced because the Senate then, called his bluff. After then, decided he was God, attacked anyone with Presidential ambition with the Efcc and later foisted A sick Yar’Adua on us.

Obasanjo later in his book criticized Yar’Adua. Exonerating himself from any wrong doing and blamed Yar’Adua for what he termed not being truthful with his health. If Yar’Adua was to be alive to complete his tenure, am sure Obasanjo would have written him a letter asking him not to recontest sighting his illnes and other things only known to him. The death of Yar’Adua ushered a new President from the Niger-Delta extraction in the person of Goodluck Jonathan. Obasanjo went to almost every campaign with Jonathan in 2011 telling us he was the best thing after slice bread. Jonathan became the President and towards the end of his tenure, he, just like yesterday wrote an open letter to him accusing him of anything he wishes.

Obasanjo’s attitude of trying to exonerate himself as one of those who has put this nation in our present mess is the height of hypocrisy. During Obasanjo’s tenure, what worked? Is it the continuous bickering between himself ND his Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar or the constant awarding of contracts that never saw the light of the day. Obasanjo sunk billions of dollars for power generation but nothing was shown for it. Today, the present government generates 7,000 Megawatts of which Obasanjo could not. The East West road was awarded almost three times and the culprit in that corrupt act was accommodated in Aso Rock. If Obasanjo has done what was expected of him, other Presidents after him, would have concentrated on other areas, borrow from his quality leadership, consolidate on his legacy and Nigeria won't be in this mess it is today. Lagos is a model. For Godsake Obasanjo is part of the old thieving politicians that has kept this nation where we are.

President Mohammad Buhari has his shortcomings but it is not in the place of someone like Obasanjo to tell him not to contest. Does Obasanjo understand what democracy entails? Oh I forgot it's in his nature to subvert people's wish and force candidates on them. If President Muhammad Buhari has no intentions of contesting for president come 2019, he should start nursing such ambition. It is his right, and civic obligation. If not for anything for future President because Obasanjo won't stop with him. In that letter he talked of a new movement of which he will be part of. The message Obasanjo is sending is clear. “I want to always be part of those who make Presidents in Nigeria until I die. Mr President you are a general just like Obasanjo and I know you won't allow him push you around. If I were you Mr. President, I will not dignify him with a response. He completed 8 years of Presidency with nothing to show for other than embezzling our common wealth but today, he is writing open letters to insult our collective reasonings.

Mr President, CONTEST in 2019.

BUHARI’S HEALTH: THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF 2017 IN NIGERIA

The president’s illnes in 2017 was a disgraceful exposure of our immaturity democratically.  The norm in advanced societies as to similar experiences is that the populace prays and wish the number one citizen quick recovery and ask without bias the true state of the health of the president no matter their political leaning. But our case was different. As soon as the president was flown out of the country for medical treatment, political undertones traveled with him. Many haters who are mostly among the injured in 2015 general elections of which they couldn't till this moment comprehend how they were buldozered out of powered predicted he won't return alive. To them God has answered their prayers of asking him to kill the president. (I wonder when God has become so jobless as to welcome prayers of death wishes to a man whose only crime was winning an election.

Among the bandwagon of death wishers were some pastors who have been rightly described as conmen by Charle Boy. They showed they serve a different god with their noise they spewed prophesies of how the president will die in a hospital. How God has declared darkness among the rulers. I almost fought a pastor who declared a prayer point that anyone who has caused suffering to Nigerians to die in London hospital. But I realized some people are fortunate they have “sheeples. It is on record that Nigerian pastors especially the notable ones who are threatened by the messages of Daddy Freeze on tithing never organized any prayer summit for the president’s quick recovery or even a prayer for restoration of sound health to the president. Oh I forgot it won't profit them. For it won't be a tithe paying event or seed sowing exercise.

There were different political scheming from every quarter, many began to add shameful colours to their selfish ambition. Some party faithfuls began to see themselves as replacement. “The clown of the Federal Republic made his comedies more entertaining. He claimed to have 11 pictures of the president on life support. He even chose a new name for himself should incase the president returns. He requested to go by the name “Bastard and swore the president will never make it alive. His counterpart in political comedy, lennded his voice called the president gollum and assured a teeming online automated mumus that the President is already in the other side of existence and they cheered like the mumu they are without demanding evidence. Some online mumus and jobless trolls console themselves that the president has died and is buried in Saudi Arabia.

The hatred continued. A Jewish religion promoter who was chased by a dancing Python. Swore the president won't make it alive. He will gather a once productive youth from a section of the country and brainwash them with lies that our little brothers in basic classes will ordinarily not believe and they will chorus his name as a prophet. (Prophet wey ordinary Python pursue that one na prophet?). His worrisome noise grew louder and became a united voice with the clowns of the Federal republic.

Amidst all this, there were silent prayers among patriotic Nigerians. There were those who offered silent prayers for God’s intervention on the health of the Mr. President. There were those who constantly begged God for mercy on the president for we all have sinned. Those who engaged in fasting and prayers just for the president to be healed. This list included me. I will sometimes plead with God not to make Aisha Buhari a widow. I would pray sometimes with tears in my eyes. The president doesn't know me but I understand the burden of leadership and the kind of word of God I was exposed to as a kid. Not the present day “let my enemies die contradiction of the word of God. I understand the pains of losing someone so dear and that the President is someone's father of which no one wishes their father dead.

The president’s wife made an emergency trip to London to see her husband. Naysayers said yes! This has finally confirmed their allegations. But she came back and likened her husband's imminent return to that of a lion King. My heart was elated but my joy was still not full and so also the joy of many Nigerians. The President started receiving visitors but well meaning Nigerians kept praying. On that fateful day, presidential spokesman Femi Adeshina informed that the president will be back from his medical trip abroad. My heart lifted in joy. I kept my eyes on the social media. I would refresh different social media platforms. A social media user in a particular forum was tracking the flight that the president was on board and I joined him till the end of it. There were crowds already waiting on the streets of Abuja just to get a glimpse of even the car that would transport the president to the villa.

Within minutes, videos of the president alighting from the presidential jet began to surface. The first one I saw almost made my tablet fall from my hand. I was shouting with joy “Yes the King is back!!! The cat with nine live is back!! The boss of all bosses is here!!  My neighbors gathered wondering why I was shouting. I showed them shocking videos of the arrival of the president and the look on their face betrayed them. Some couldn't believe he made it alive. If I get the opportunity to meet the president, I will take personal pictures with him just to remind myself of the limitless powers of God. My fellow country men do not becloud yourselves with sentiments the president’s miraculous healing should be used as a pointer to request from God sound healing for any members of our family who needs God's touch. That the President is not a member of your church doesn't make his healings less of a miracle or because your pastor did not prophesy it then you won't see the hand of God in it.

Apart from the medical prowess of the doctors that handled the health issues of the president, this is a clear example of the workings of God. A clear Miracle. For we have had richer people who could afford more than the treatment the president got but couldn't live to recount the ordeal. But in Aso Rock stands a man who defied death, death wishes and all manner of evil from enemies and you think the hand of God is not in it? I waited this long to confirm the promises of God of making his health whole.

This is the greatest miracle of 2017 in Nigeria.

NOW THAT WE 'VE KNOWN THE ORGANIZERS OF THE PROTEST, IS IT WORTH YOUR TIME?

NOW THAT WE 'VE KNOWN THE ORGANIZERS OF THE PROTEST,  IS IT WORTH YOUR TIME?

It's more profitable to understand, scrutinize and evaluate what ever one plan venturing into. Days ago, I wrote an article about the upcoming protest planned on the 5th of February 2017. In that mind pricking article, (found here http://enlightennigeria.blogspot.com/2017/01/the-planned-nationwide-protest-who-are.html) I asked and sought to know the organizers of the planned protest, what is going to be protested for and the modus operandi of such nationwide protest. As expected, the organizers have come out of hiding. They are "The wailing wailers Ng with the twitter handle, (@NGRWailers. And they have tagged the protest #Buharimustgo#

Since we have known the organizers, the next thing is a scrutiny and proper background check on the integrity,  dignity, antecedents and patriotic attitude of such organization before anyone should give them listening ear let alone allowing oneself to be involved with them. This is because we might be helping some enemies of Nigeria achieve their evil aims. The wailing wailers Ng is group known to support corruption and still suffers from the 2015 elections loss. They are largely PDP apologists, have never believed in this present Government and does not wish it well. The group, mostly active online, are products of pomp and pageantry from the last administration. They are youths who benefited from the wastage of the last administration. They are pained by the lack of hand outs and sharing of money that they no longer see or partake in. A notable voice, in the group is one Deji Adeyanju who fought last year in a club and peddled the false story of Former President Goodluck Jonathan being invited for US President Trump's inauguration and Buhari was not.

The wailing wailers like every corrupt and opportunist group, are always available for the highest bidding politician and will do the bidding of any politician with the biggest pot of porridge. Is this the kind of organisation,  people, or group that you should waste your time protesting with?  Many will ask what's your own in all these? My answer is NOTHING. Am not a politician, have never benefited from any government, I just don't like people cashing in on the emotions of the people to cause mayhem, heat up the polity and fill up their own pockets. A genuine protest, borne out of critical reawakening to demand outright overhaul of the Nigerian Political system, slash of the NASS allowances and salaries, speedy trial, making public offices let's attractive etc. I would be at the forefront. But not one that is headless and sponsored by power hungry politicians. The protest as we learnt would be joined by tuface and there also rumours of a former Akwa Ibom State governor sponsoring him for the protest. I don't want to believe such rumors but the below revelation begs for more answers. " Mr. Akpabio announced a gift of two brand new Toyota Prado SUVs to 2face and his wife. He also reportedly promised to bankroll an all-expense paid trip for 29 delegates from the state to attend the white wedding of the couple fixed for Dubai, the United Arab Emirates on March 23, 2016".

In the days ahead, more revelations will come out as to the real reasons and sponsors of the directionless protest.

Nigerians, we understand that things are hard, there is hunger in the land but we must ask what caused it and what steps are being taken to ameliorate the effects it, and support the government in any way we can so we become a better nation. Our biggest problem, is that we never saved for the rainy day.

Do not waste your little energy that you will use for profitable ventures in this hard time. These people bringing you out just want to fulfil job they've been paid for they are not hungry.
The pictures below are some of their fake news, and some of their tweets. You can also google @Ngrwailers for more of their tweets and wailersNg.com which is their website.

AN OPEN LETTER TO MRS AISHA BUHARI ON THE BBC INTERVIEW

AN OPEN LETTER TO MRS. AISHA BUHARI
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE DONE?

Ma, with due respect, what was the meaning of that interview with the BBC Hausa? I listened with shock the interview you granted with BBC Hausa on issues bordering on the Nigerian political Landscape and the Change Government of your husband, President Muhammadu Buhari. I was shocked not because of your incoherent speech or your poor command of English language like the former First Lady Patience Jonathan but because of your utterances in that interview.

Ma, What do you think you have done? You went on air to say things that you shouldn't have said? To achieve what? Are you planning on contesting any political position in 2019? Many first ladies all over the world offer support and help to their husband even in the most difficult times and not to come the public to demoralize him. To what end? During the illness of the late President Yar'Adua, the wife Turai Yar'Adua never came out to publicly tell the world that her husband is sick and that if he continues to be sick,  she would abandon everything and allow other people grab power. It was reported in different quarters that Turai called the shots while the husband was sick and away.  During the trial of the then President of the United States of America, Bill Clinton, The wife,  who is now a Presidential candidate was very tactful in speaking to the press. She never ridiculed her husband even when it  was proven that he actually had an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Oh! Ma,  What do you think you have done? During the recent trial of Senate President Bukola Saraki, did you hear anywhere where Toyin Saraki the wife came out publicly to say that if the husband doesn't come out clean about his dealings on false Declaration of Assets she will stop supporting him? Recently, Yakubu Dogara, the current Speaker of the house of Representatives, was accused of budget padding alongside other members of the house. Did you by chance even in gossip hear that the wife was quoted as saying she would stop supporting the husband if does not come out clean on the issue? Ma, I can go on and on to give you vital examples of women who were before you in same position and kept their cool, worked with carefulnes knowing the kind of society we are in.


What do you think you have done? What came over you? How did you lose it? You could have declined invitation to that interview or was it by force? Today some opposition elements are cashing on that interview and the President's comic response to jump around like they 've won an election. Ma, are you happy about this? Have you seen the ridicule online brought about by this? Imagine Oluremi Tinubu making this kind of Uterrances or Dolapo Osibanjo. Ma, I must remind you that if not for Buhari, we wouldn't have known you. Before you became a first lady, which is just a nomenclature, you were first a wife, a mother and your husband's better half. Have you forgotten all these in just over one year of being in Aso Rock villa? Have you forgotten that after the tenure of your husband, you will return back to Daura with him? And that no one will care where you are? Even this type of interviews you won't get them anymore or when last did you read or hear from Turai Yar'Adua? Whatever borders your heart about the situations of the country, you could have talked to your husband about it at home and remember the Islamic laws guiding marriages no matter your position. Or have you suddenly become secular just cos of power? In that ill conceived interview, you said you don't know 45 out of the 50 appointment made by your husband. Like seriously are you supposed to know? Are you a politician? You want to influence the appointments? Or you are not happy the President on assumption of office scrapped the office of the first lady unlike previous administration?

Hope you know the implications of what you have done? Those hailing you today will abandon you when the time comes. Just wear the next expensive jewelry or carry an expensive bag and see those hailing you still question your source of income and accuse you and your family of being corrupt. And in many of these accusations of your expensive lifestyle, did you hear the President utter a word? Forget the nonsense going on now, where everyone is now kissing their wife and claiming what is not, (So they needed a misunderstanding in Someone's family issue to show off their wife?) many men  wouldn't be happy if their wife goes to the media to say what they shouldn't have. Ma, you no try for that interview. And please retrace your step.

DSS RAID ON CORRUPT JUDGES AND WHAT IS DEMOCRACY

DSS RAID ON CORRUPT JUDGES AND WHAT IS DEMOCRACY

--Corrupt  judges are the worst set of people  is killing our democracy-- Princewill Chimereze.

On Saturday 8th October, 2016 the DSS raided the home of some high profile judges in Nigeria. The Said raid has generated irrational outcry by some group and some section of the country. Nigeria’s opposition party the PDP has termed it a "descent into fascism". Some has said our democracy is in danger, others termed it rape of our democracy. When you listen to some of these cries even from those who know nothing about democracy but just decide to foam through the nose because others are doing same, you would be forced to really ask what is democracy and who is killing it? According to wikitionary.org Democracy is the Belief in political freedom and equality; the "spirit of democracy". That's for dictionary meaning. To those who has opposed the raid by Nigeria's State security outfit, to them democracy is upholding the tenets of law and doing things the right way.

It's very funny to see a people choose what is democratic or what is not detrimental to our young democracy. Who really is putting our democracy in danger? A judge who subverts the will of the people and does the bidding of the highest paying politician? A judge who sends a petty thief to long term imprisonment but commits bigger crime and gets away with it? A judge who collects bribe to continuously give conflicting judgement on issues?
To the our democracy is in danger shouting irrational beings,  A politician who rigged election, perpetrated all kinds of violence against his opponent and the people in order to win election is not putting our democracy in danger. He is upholding it. Its even more amusing that a governor was stopping the arrest of a judge. In a democracy? What concerns a governor with the arrest of a judge? How did he get to know? It might interest anyone to know that this same raid was carried out in over five State of the Federation and you begin to wonder where was the governor of those other state? And why did they not also try to stop DSS? A rational answer would help all of us.

As if such nonsense is not insulting to our collective common sense and endangering our young democracy, An electoral case would be brought before a court, the said electoral matter would be glaring even to the blind that it was badly flawed  and Judges would uphold such elections. And those shouting democracy now kept quiet. A politician would loot the treasury of the nation without conscience and care for democracy. When such politician is brought to court,  he bribes his way out of the issue and walks free. He has been given a pat on the back for looting and even encouraging potential looters that we 've got your back go ahead and steal as you like. What kills democracy faster than judgements encouraging looting.

The same noise makers about the recent DSS raid on corrupt judges are the ones who will be the first to scream economy is in recession, things are hard, prices of foodstuffs has skyrocketed. But fail to understand that When these corrupt judges collect bribes, they also contribute to the downfall of the economy and what  should have benefited the common man would be shared among selected few. Is that democracy? A politician steals over a $100 million and bribes a Judge with $2 million from the said loot gets a clean judgement of doing no wrong and he walks freely is that upholding democratic tenets? Or is democracy under siege when some people choose to see it so?

During Election, State security apparatus were unleashed on opposition, some military men were arm banded to carry out shady deals in order to win election for friends and party members in the last dispensation. Where were the today crying "our democracy is in danger illiterates? Money was earmarked for procurement of arms to fight insurgency in the Northeast and same was shared by those whom the present day shouters of our democracy is in danger supported. Then democracy had seen the light  but when those people are called upon to come and answer to their atrocities democracy is being killed. How?

To this same "democracy illiterates" When A sitting governor was denied entrance to the government house of his state, it was democracy in action. When DSS raided the office of an opposition party and carted away with their belongings it was democracy in action. When the security details of a Speaker of House of Representatives was withdrawn democracy was breathing fine. The most surprising thing about all these corruption defending is that it's championed by downtrodden youths who might not get their desire to lead the nation due to the manner and way the politicians go about politics in Nigeria. How would you win election with the level of violence, ballot box snatching and rigging that has been mastered by this politicians and when such cases get to court, they are even upheld.

"Nigerian Youths what is your gain in defending corruption or supporting those accused of corruption?

This is a call to the DSS to carry out more of this type of raid on anyone no matter how highly or lowly placed the person is. Be more probing, go further, crush things and make sure Nigeria is purged of corruption. Patriotic Nigerians are behind you. I must State categorically that corrupt judges are the worst set of people  is killing our democracy.

I would like to end this piece with a quote from a well respected legal luminary Mohammed Uwais. “A corrupt judge is more harmful to the society than a man who runs amok with a dagger in a
crowded street. The latter can be restrained physically. But a corrupt judge deliberately destroys the moral foundation of society and causes incalculable distress to individuals through abusing his office while still being
referred to as honourable"

To those who still have the ability to recollect their senses and move on from elections loss which was inevitable,  and has be clouded their sense of judgment, I hope a corrupt judge would not handle your case and deny you justice.

THINGS BEN BRUCE HAS NOT TALKED ABOUT

THINGS BEN BRUCE HAS NOT TALKED ABOUT 

After 2015 elections, we saw  Ben Bruce become active on social media and dishing out what he termed common sense. One begins to wonder whether he never owned or used smart phone prior to 2015 elections. Before now no one saw him on Twitter criticizing the past Government or giving them common sense advice. What Ben Bruce is doing in my own opinion especially in criticizing this present government is just sheer Hypocrisy. 

To prove that in a bit, here are National issues that Ben Bruce has not spoken about.

1. MASSIVE LOOTING AND CORRUPTION IN JONATHAN's GOVERNMENT: Since the fight against corruption started under this present administration and the discovery of massive looting and sheer mismanagement of our common wealth under the last Government, Ben Murray Bruce has not spoken either in condemnation or defence of it. One would have expected him to throw out lots of common sense articles, speeches and or even make a video telling us how corruption has destroyed the country but no its not a strong issue. Maybe his common sense articles and and speeches have restrictions. Mr. Ben Bruce what's your take on this issue?

2. NIGER DELTA AVENGERS: To the dismay of many Nigerians, a group came out of the blues calling themselves Niger Delta Avengers (Avenging what?) bombing our pipelines. If we have given Amnesty to militants, isn't it a crime to go back on that same thing that was forgiven of them?. Since their bombing started, Ben Bruce has not said anything about them. He has surprisingly kept mute. Maybe his battery is always low or dead when they attack.

3. SARAKI's TRIAL: Since Senate President, Bukola Saraki's corruption trial started, Ben Bruce has not said anything about it either in condemnation or support. You would have expected him in some of his numerous common sense tweets to condemn Bukola Saraki's continued stay as the Senate President while his case is still in court. He should have said something about Bukola Saraki's Asset declaration and subsequent trial. But Ben Bruce has not. Abi him dey fear Saraki ni?

4. SENATE RULES FORGERY: The media has been awashed with news of the senate standing rule forged by Senate President Bukola Saraki and Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu. You would have expected Common sense Senator to come up with series of tweets, speeches or articles affirming that the rules were forged or were not. After all he is a member of the Senate and should know what goes on there. But till date Ben Bruce has kept mute about this saga. Maybe him no want make dem beatam for Senate Chamber if he talk. 

5. PDP CRISIS: Senator Ben Bruce is a member of the PDP and his party is in a shameful mess and dirty water crisis. Two chairman, Two governorship candidate in Edo, Two governors in Abia State. In all this national embarrassment, Ben Bruce has said nothing. He has maintained hypocritical silence and act like he doesn't read the Newspapers. Had it been its about the present government he would 've found where he kept his phone, come to the internet to criticize their actions. Ben Bruce, are you for Makarfi or Sheriff! 

6.  NON PAYMENT OF WORKERS SALARIES IN EKITI AND BAYELSA: when it was reported that Osun state governor, Rauf Aregbeshola was owing workers in his State, Ben Bruce was one of those who condemned the governor and even insulted the people of the State by saying he would channel part of the controversial wardrobe allowance that ran into millions into paying workers salary in Osun State. He made so many mountain out of the Salary issue then in Osun state. Today as we speak, his State, Bayelsa state, is struggling to pay workers and so also is Ekiti. You would expect Ben Bruce to comment on this issue with the same approach he did with that of Osun or even offer to pay the workers with his earnings in the Senate but No. His smart phone has suddenly got missing or maybe him no want make Fayose remember him matter.

What ever we want to venture into in life, we must weigh the ups and down and be ready to come to equity with clean hands. Common sense will become common nonsense if its only targeted at a particular people or party. 

What do you think about this write up? Drop your comments and share with friends.

WHY CELEBRITY MARRIAGES FAIL

WHY CELEBRITY MARRIAGES FAIL 

--No matter who we are in life we must respect the tennets of Marriage-- Princewill Chimereze

celebrity marriages comes with lots of uneccessary nd irrelevat burden that makes it hit the rock most at the slightes misunderstanding. There are reasons that makes celebrity marriages fail but below are some of the reasons.

1. UNCHANGED CHARACTER: This reason is not only peculiar to  celebrities but to everyone. Many ladies never work on their characters before venturing into marriage. Imagine a lady with lots of anger issues getting into marriage, she would less likely tolerate what she gets to see in the marriage. Some ladies are gossip freak to the extent that when they get married they wont even know when they will spread the dirty side of their marriage outside which if it gets to the notice of their husband will be suicidal. Some guys are chronic womanizers that even marriage can never change them. They chase after any babe that has got what they like forgeting they are married.

2. LIMELIGHT: fame, comes with lots of changes. What an ordinary person can endure and move on with in marriage, a celebrity might not  be able to do so cos of fame and limelight. A celebrity does not know what it is like to manage in marriage when the chips are down. The woman have to continue the lifestyle she has built for herself over the years. She wouldn't want to be seen as living a life that is not of her standard.  This can make her engage in extra marital affairs just to keep up the limelight.

3. MARRIAGE FOR CONVENIENCE: Many celebrities are in marraige for convinience or for the sake of it. And you expect such marraige to last? Some celebrities feel many of their celebrity friends are getting married therefore, they need to do so. Some are in it for what they would gain from their partner and when such goodies are no longer coming, they end up crashing the marriage. They know they don't love their potential husband but because of convenience and to sustain the kind of life they 've fashioned for themselves, they would just marry the person. A clear case is Funke Akindele, who married a man known to be a serial womanizer and has been married twice. The marriage ended via Facebook.  

4. MARRIAGE FOR WEALTH: This reason is similar to that of convenience. Most celebrities are poor if you take away their other crooked ways of income. That is why they look out for anyone who is rich to get married to so they can continue to get the latest shoe, clothes and other material things that they can't do without. Ini Edo go tell me say she no see fine, responsible and hardworking boys way full everywhere fall in love with and get married?  She did but wanted a rich man. Today they are divorced not only divorced but the man is asking for his Bride price back.        

5. LIES: Celebrities know how to lie. Some of them call it strategies to remain relevant because of the competition in showbiz but its unnecessary. Some will say they 've bought a house when actually they rented it. Some can be driving their sugar daddy and sugar mummy's car and claim its theirs. You would only know when they have problems with these people. When their partner gets to know about all these lies, the next thing is divorce because the marriage itself was built on lies.

6. FAKE LIFE: No one on earth lives a fake life more than celebrities. It would surprise you to know that what you see on the surface is just a cover for the dirt, pain, sorrow, woes, and regrets inside. Do you know that some celebrities borrow clothes to wear? They squat with friends and act like its their house? Do not be deceived by Instagram pictures all na wash. Some musicians have no hit single but act like they 've gotten everything in life. Some give you updates like; last night was awesome, he is the best man in the world, doesn't smoke, womanize or take alcohol when the man is actually a drunkard and drug addict. When they can't take it anymore, you know the rest.

7.  LACK OF RESPECT FOR MARRIAGE INSTITUTION: In my article about Tiwa Savage's Marriage, (found here: enlightennigeria.blogspot.com/2016/05/tiwa-savage-married-and-was-still.html?m=1). I pointed out some bad characters that made that marriage crash of which many of them boils down to lack of respect for the institution. How can a woman be married and still wants to act like she is still single. Cleavage barring, attending parties and getting drunk and tipsy, being on location for almost a week, getting so cosy on movie or music set, wearing skimpy dress and what have you and expect the marriage to be successful. Marriage comes with sacrifices and doing away with some of the things we were doing while we were yet to get married.

Marriage is not by force if one knows they can't cope with the stress and hassle that comes with it better remain single than get into it and divorce almost immediately. Marriage no be by Dubai wedding or 50 million Naira but by enduring and persevering to the End.

TEN TYPES OF WAILERS IN NIGERIA

10 TYPES OF WAILERS 

If wailing is our last resort after an --election loss, we must do so with sense-- PRINCEWILL CHIMEREZE 

      As we celebrate this Government's one year in office,  It's also an Anniversary for the wailing wailers. For those who don't know,  The wailing wailers are sore election losers who has continued to wallow in the pain of election loss thereby clouding their judgement of the present administration and making them attack the government unnecessarily. They were christened "Wailing Wailers"  by Presidential aide; Femi Adeshina. 

Before I list the types of wailers in Nigeria,  I must point out that criticism is different from crying due to election loss or attacking a government without any cogent  reason but just to oppose. Below are the types of Wailing Wailers in Nigeria. 

1.  THE ELECTION LOSERS: This ones can't forget the 2015 Presidential election which their hero lost. They believed their hero was unjustifiably removed and they must fight for him. They roam about the Online space shouting 'Jonathan is a hero' as if we dey drag "Mr. hero" with them. They defend him at every given opportunity and rain abuses on anyone who talks about the mindless looting that went down during his reign.  This ones wants to make sure they show Nigerians how their decision to vote in Buhari was a Mistake. So they see nothing good about this present administration. They ask this administration to stop blaming the former government . If this administration don't blame them who will?

2.  THOSE WHO HATE NORTH: this type of wailers do not see anything good in the government just because the President is from the northern part of the country. They  litter our cyber space with such illiterate lines like 'Fear North' 'The problem of this country is North' etc. They jump on any ethnic issues to show how low they are. The solutions for this kind of people, i don't know. They cry victims at any given opportunity and accuse North of being the architect of their problem As if Namadi Sambo who ran with GEJ was not a northerner. Their only solution to the problem of the country is to divide it and let North be on their own. The eronously believe the North won't survive without the South. But they never cried for this When GEJ was in power. Wail on wailers.  Waiiiilllllllllll!!! . 

3. RELIGIOUS BIGOTS: This ones are the most pathetic, senseless, and bunch of illiterates. This ones started during the build up to the presidential election. They continued till this day. To them this administration wants to Islamize Nigeria. They litter the online space with nonsense like, "The president wants to Islamize Nigeria" They hate the President cos he is a Muslim but will support Dasuki and Saraki. And you begin to wonder what remedy will be best to cure them. But unfortunately none. Their leaders are Femi Faani Kayode, Fayose etc. May God help them.

4. IPOB MEMBERS: This group have no direction. They remembered they need a country because the last administration was booted out. They sow seeds of discord and hatred in anyone they come across. They have created different online platform to deceive themselves about an imaginary country. This online platform only spread lies and hate messages about APC and Buhari. And you begin to wonder is it by spreading lies about Buhari and APC that you will actualize your struggle? This ones insult you when you don't agree with them or when people like me oppose them from involving the South south from their misery. Well, this group should continue at least an Imaginary Russian President holding their flag has backed them.

5. THE ETHNIC BIGOTS: This ones are similar to the Religious bigots. Their problem is that their region is not the ones at the Zenith of Nigerian leadership. They blame other regions for their woes as if those regions also elected their leaders for them. They only look out for religious coloration in any issue. Any appointment,  they will scrutinize it as if it's their exam note or Textbook to find out how many Northerners and southerners are in it. They DOUBTED chibok girls kidnap but believed Fulani herdsmen massacre in Agatu. To them anyone from their region in this Present Government is a sell out, traitor and an ''efulefu'' as my people will say. How low can a people get? Their leader is FFK, a man who insulted them before. Well this group, their case is With Tb Joshua.

6. THE ONES THAT NO LONGER SEE GOVERNMENT MONEY: This ones, when i see them i rub salt on their injury. Their anger is that stolen money from the destructive party the PDP is no longer coming.  The border was opened for them to import every irrelevant thing to the country and now its been closed. To them economy is moving as long as they make money even in  "Unfriendly economic" way. They litter different blogosphere with such illiterate lines as 'Bring back our corruption'  'There was corruption and bag of Pure water was bla bla bla and one begins to wonder where this people crept out from. They are the anti corruption fight foot soldiers.  They have benefited so much from share the money attitude and now its like their life is going to be paused by the "New Sheriff in town" .This ones their wailing will be too long to measure because tougher economic decisions will be made for a better Nigeria.

7. THE ONES THAT JUST HATE APC: This ones link everything that happens to them to the APC. They scream "Government of lies". "What do you expect"? This Government gave the former a robust and sound Opposition that every Nigerian saw the Need for them to go. To this ones, if APC was not formed they would have  still remain in power. They litter our online space with such lines as "A Party built on lies"  "A party of deceit". And when you ask them how truthful their PDP was, they become Dumb. They believed APC used propaganda to get the presidency and they must revenge it. By calling APC names? They should continue.  

8. THOSE WHO JUST WAIL: This ones are just like those Girls who had no option but to watch football match with their boyfriend and just have to support his club whether they know what the game is all about or not. They just join to wail maybe for 'likes' from fellow online users or just not to be seen as deviating from supporting their family members, ethnic group or friends. This ones retweet others, like their posts  and also fearfully insult the government without any reason or direction. Well, this ones will realise themselves one day. I use to behave this way before i decided be well grounded in economic, political and other National issues.

9. THE ONES THAT HATE BUHARI: This ones will remind you how he never allowed them to come out of their mother's womb during Buhari's first stint at the nation's top job in 1983. How he jailed their family for running drugs, how he hate other tribes and all other unsubstantiated issues. They can't believe he won the election after their campaign of hate and calumny. They are the ones who keep asking for certificate of the President till date.  Him go bring the certificate una hear? Wetin una wan usam do?  Make una no take una life do better thing. Awon omo rada rada. 

10. THE ONES THAT WILL INSULT THIS WRITER: This ones are just helpless. They think insulting those who oppose their unexamined stance on this government will increase their bank Account or Popularity. They wonder why people like Soyinka, Falana, Bakare, ezekwesili, other known vocal activist are not speaking out against this present government. And you begin to wonder what should they speak against in one year? And considering our present economic problems. They should join them in calling the President Dullard? Well, this writer welcomes insults at least it makes me know how ill trained some people in this age are and am ever ready to put them where they belong. 

Which of the wailers are you or which one do you know? Use the comments box to tell me about it or disagree with what I 've written above.  You can share and invite your friends to come and tell me what I don't know.

WHEN A PROTEST IS BOUND TO FAIL

When a group of people have no clear reason for embarking on a strike or have political undertone to it, its bound to fail.

Below is a photo of recently held NLC strike against subsidy removal. And you begin to wonder, what they are protesting against.

****The first inscription in the screenshot above shows how confused they are *** Is that not what this administration is doing or trying to do?

***Now the second Inscription is laughable. Are they protesting against APC or Subsidy Removal? Looks like what was sponsored by PDP.

***Now below are images from the 2012 subsidy removal protest Now you can spot the difference yourself.

The current NLC leadership are bunch of directionless, irresponsible, and unintelligent fellows

THINGS IPOB SUPPORTERS SHOULD CHANNEL THEIR PROTESTS INTO IN THE SOUTH EAST

It must be pointed out that when a people misplaces priorities, they begin to live a confused life. Since the loss of President Jonathan at the poll, there are insignificant few who does not want to come to terms with the reality on ground. These persons have cashed in to the misguided message of a man based in London and who might not suffer any consequence of his unguarded utterances and resurrection of a painful experience over 35 years ago. This misguided few go by the Name Indegeneous People of Biafra. (IPOB) they have been engaging in protests. What they arepprotesting for is unclear to me. But here are lists of what they should channel their energy into instead of the present one they have embarked on. ________________________________________________________ 1. GOOD GOVERNANCE IN THE SOUTH EAST: Imagine these IPOB supporters carrying placards that they demand good governance from all Five South East Governors. That they want the allocation that is received by South East Governors to be judiciously used to develop the area. That the available resources should be harnessed for the betterment of the people. This will be lauded than wearing black and blocking the only road that connect your region and others. ________________________________________________________ 2. GOOD LEADERS : Are you kidding me? After the poor leadership exhibited by T.A Orji he was still voted into the senate? The South East is lacking in terms of quality leaders full of integrity and ready to work for the people. These IPOB supporters should demand that they be represented by leaders of proven integrity. ________________________________________________________ 3. EDUCATION OF THE POPULACE: Many believe that a particular region are the ones that are more uneducated in the country or has more illiterates. This is erroneously erroneous. Someone stays in London and ask you to stockpile arms for war, you should kill other tribes, and many heeded to his wrong command and even started disturbing the peace of a Nation cos such person was arrested? In 21st century? I wont say much on this. _______________________________________________________ 4. STATE CREATION: The time and energy used in blocking Onithsa bridge, imagine channeling such energy in demanding from the legislatures one more State for the region. Have a conference where they will mandate all their representative to push for at least this singular agenda even though its their only achievement in four years. ________________________________________________________ 5. POLITICAL RESTRUCTURING: The south east is always miscalculating politically and this the end product of bad leadership. Ojukwu contested and they voted Obasanjo, there was a candidate of Igbo extraction in Lagos and they left him to rally behind Jimi Agbaje how? Seriously how? You saw a man whose six years in power was a disaster you decided to throw all your weight behind him. Just because Ngige was in APC you left him and voted Ekwunife thereby losing the senate presidency. There is need for serious overhaul of the political structure of the south east party sentiments should be replaced with outstanding individual qualities of integrity, accountability and believe in the development of the people. ________________________________________________________ 6. PURGING THE PEOPLE OF UNECESSARY POLITICAL SENTIMENTS: The South East needs to be purged of some meaningless, unnecessary, irrelevant and unprofitable political sentiments. APC is an Islamic party, they are Bokoharam party. Do you mean it? No wonder APGA has not gone beyond Abia State because it should be regarded as Yahoo Yahoo , Ritualists, and 419 party. No party was registered in a particular region they were all registered at the National level and should serve as platform to actualize anybody's political ambition no matter your tribe or religion. The South South should be weary of this type of sentiments and avoid it because some discord creators have started creating this impression on the region and it should be resisted. You want the presidency of this country and you are demonizing a party? What if that party is your only sure way of climbing to that post will you get there? IPOB supporters should use their energy to pursue this course and change this type of sentiments in the SE. ________________________________________________________ 7. DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOUTH EAST: I would have left my duty post to join the demonstrations if it was for development of the south East. Such developmental issues like Second Niger bridge, a seaport, building of industries, etc should have formed the basis for the protests. Business men and women from the region prefer to invest more outside than in the region. Go to Trade Fair, Alaba Market, Computer Village, Kano Main Market etc. They form major stakeholders in this places. Development of the region is needed more and should be vogorously pursued. _____________________________________________________

Buhari Nigerians Still Believe in You

The recent attacks by Boko Haram insurgents have kept many wondering whether their votes casted for CHANGE was waste. While those in the opposition have been rejoicing about some events that has taken place since this administration took over.

Many have been asking for him to name is cabinet and ministers. I understand the background of this as many have over the years come to see Nigerian government as a power sharing platform where everyone comes to the table and take their own share.  But sorry for some of you its no longer business as usual. The last administration, many ministers were just figure heads and the president doesn't want it so.  He will name his cabinet at the appropriate time.

As to what have changed since he took over, recently there are massive recruitment exercise advertised by various institutions in the country. I must confess that through out my stay in the University, lecturing jobs are hardly advertised we only come to school to see a new lecturer. But it's no longer so. Recently, dead institutions are naturally revived. A dormant EFCC now at least arrest people and people are afraid to steal unlike before.

The outcry and criticisms currently noticed are expected but larger chunk of those who have irrationally started this criticism are from the opposition or were those who were shaky in their support of PMB but ended up just voting for him. Those who know and strongly believe in PMB knows that BH are in for the shock of their life. To these ones (me inclusive) their believe can never be shaken. Though, it is disheartening to hear series of bombing lately, but the end is near for BH

We understand President Buhari wants to employ a different approach to tackle this problem, and as such a little time will be taken to perfect plans. Like in any war situation, effective plans wins the war. Like in many American movies the actor is usually beaten but in the end he carries the day. Like the 2015 presidential election, the postponement was a temporary setback but Buhari still won the election.
Bokoharam is currently doing "initial gra gra"  but baba will still win.

Princewill Chimereze.

Saraki Emergence, is Buhari's CHANGE Under Threat?

What Happened yesterday at National Assembly was shocking. Yesterday, the Nation looked gloom, not many noticed this, what happened yesterday was not just ordinary, there were those even in APC that clearly orchestrated this. The President called a meeting, Bukola Saraki aware of the meeting, went ahead with his personal ambition and ignored who ever does not in anyway support his desperate ambition. I have nothing against Dogara as its clear the House of Representatives wanted him.

In all these, who has truly lost? Many Nigerians don't know what awaits them hence their joint jubilation with the PDP in celebrating what might be a stumbling block to our needed Change. To many of them this is about Tinubu and as such whether its against the interest of the country, so long as it does not favour Tinubu, no problem. But they forget the Saraki dynasty is no different.

The drama that was played at the National Assembly Yesterday was one that can best be described as the hand writing and will of the known ''Cabals'' what then has Nigerians gained from this? Should we celebrate what was cooked by Atiku, Saraki, Akpabio, and the rest? Nigerians should be in reflective mood and not celebrate because their expected change might have gotten a heavy road block.

Do Nigerians expect a bill that will check corrupt practices of people who were involved in this gang-up to scale through in the senate?
A mole might have been planted to scuttle our needed change. Will this house allow law to take its cause when the law enforcement agencies come calling on people like Buruj Kashamu and T.A Orji who were part of what many are ignorantly celebrating today.

Why do you think the PDP who did everything to stop us from experiencing this change are now so happy? Have they also embraced change?
The days ahead will tell but am so scared deep inside me.

We are still waiting for Ben Bruce to tell us his own part of the story of what truly transpired d at the house yesterday or was he also part of the gang up? He has been tweeting and writing so we expect  to hear from him soon if truly he claims to be different.

2015 Elections And Concession of Defeat

The 2015election has come and gone, but its drama will continue to be issues of discuss on almost every given opportunity. One of such talking point, was the concession of defeat by Former President, Goodluck Jonathan. Many hailed this action and praised him for his rare show of sportsmanship. Some Governorship candidates did the same thing when they also lost, notably, Jimi Agbaje of Lagos State.

Nigerians in their usual abuse of anything, has come down hard on those who lost but did not concede defeat. Most of those who are forcing other candidates to concede defeat are from the PDP. Nigerians must understand that democracy has many doors to power and that is why someone like Chibuike Amaechi former governor of Rivers State got his power from the courts. It is the right of the individual who feel pained in any election to seek redress in court or whatever available means that is backed by constitution.

President Jonathan had every right to challenge the outcome of the 2015 general elections. This will not stop his handover but just to challenge any reason he feels was not constitutionally in his favour that led to his loss. Ordinarily it will be a waste of time to have challenged the 2015 Presidential election because even with the massive Rigging that characterised the election in the South-South and South-East he still lost. Many will argue on child voters in the north but clearly there were child voters in 2011 when the president won and why is it that no one cried foul that time but decide to do so now?

Those who are calling for governors in different States to concede defeat even in the face of glaring irregularities are enemies of our young Democracy.
A situation whereby lives were lost unnecessarily because someone wants to become a Governor by all means is unacceptable and its outcome must be challenged in the courts. It is morally wrong to ask an opponent to concede defeat when it was obvious the other candidate had an undue advantage prior and during the election. A situation whereby the number of  votes cast exceeded the number of accredited/registered voters and people are calling on the candidate to concede defeat is not only hypocritic, but its like adding salt to one's injury.

Funny enough, those who are clamouring for these concession of defeat are people who know nothing about good governance and global practices of sound democracy. Many of them are better off dancing "Shoki", smoking their weed, enmeshing themselves in Tonto Dike news  and engaging in fruitless activity than meddling into serious National matters on the social media.

Nigerians must know that that evil should not prevail over good if we truly calim to worship a supreme deity. We should not join those who don't care about our wellbeing but are interested in what comes into their pockets hence, their calling of a cow Daddy because they want to eat meat.

Nigerian "Runs Girls" Scared of Buhari's Incoming Government

The incoming Government of General Muhammadu Buhari is one that many have been wondering what it will look like and what it will have in stock for them. There are mixed feeling from different quarters as to what will really happen.

Some people are really scared of what becomes of them or their business. One of such people is the "Nigerian Runs Girls". Pls don't mistake this ones for the Association of Nigerian Prostitutes who had earlier before the election endorse and have even congratulated the president elect.

For those who don't know Runs Girls are those girls who offer sexual gratification to men for monetary gain, they have no fixed place where they engage in it as such travel a lot mostly weekends and are mostly found in our Universities.( Princewill, 2015) I had a writting job to do with one of such ladies who invited me to her house to discuss business and on getting there i saw many ladies who are also involved in what she do.

She was cooking, so pleaded with me to wait till she is done. I sat down, was engrossed in my phone,  when i overheard the ladies discussing about the out going and incoming President. I jokingly told them Baba is a good man that he will rule well. They answered, "No be wetin we dey talk be that u no go understand" I decided to keep quiet and just listen to them. Fortunately they were talking about how the incoming Government will affect their "Runs Girl Business" which i call "Semi-Prostitution" From their discussions, I picked out reasons why they think Buhari's Presidency might not boom their business In Aso Rock and Abuja in General. Some of the reasons were:

1. BUHARI HIMSELF: Baba as he is fondly called, is devoted Muslim with a beautiful wife and one who lives his life based on strong principled morals. He has not been  involved in any post marital scandal or extra marital affairs at least to the best of we in the media. Going by this antecedents, Baba might not be interested in any runs girls and this will greatly affect them seriously.

2. LEAN GOVERNMENT: The incoming government plans to run a very lean government and as such there might not be enough money for his ministers and associates to play around with. Runs girls in Nigeria are afraid since this guys wont be opportuned to feed fat like other government, they might not think in the direction of cooling off with some babes. They 've not finished solving their problems with the little they have let alone looking for us they agreed among themselves.

3. THE FEAR OF BUHARI: Even if some of the ministers and associates of Buhari decides to think in the direction of having a good time with one runs girl or more, they might be taken aback by the fear of the perception of the president himself if he notices such thing.
This fear would make many of them not to involve themselves with it and spells danger for their "Market" some of the girls agreed that their guys who are into arranging them for some of this politicians have alerted them that market won't be as before. Because things will change.

4. RECENT ECONOMIC DOWNTURN: It is no longer news that oil prices have gone down all over the world, Naira to dollar exchange rate is like exchanging a cow for a rat. With this bad economic conditions, the incoming government might not spend carelessly and this means less money in the hands of politicians. State Governors, Legislators, Local government Chairmen etc. will find it difficult to do away with some cash for the services of runs girls.

 The Nigerian Runs girls are pessimistic about the incoming administration but hopes for a better outing when the Buhari government finally takes over

Friends what do you think about this?

Trivial Signs That Showed Buhari Would Win 2015 Presidential Election

During the 2015 electioneering campaign, there were signs that showed that Buhari would win. This signs were less paid attention to but they were a pointer to what was imminent.
Such signs were;

1. COINAGE OF FEBUHARI; This coinage was not paid for by anyone. It was passionate Nigerians who saw the name Buhari in February and decided to make it a name for Buhari. Even Fayose in one of his advert heaved a sigh of relief that FEBUARI was gone.

2. TWITTER TRENDS; out of love and genuine supports, there were different topics trending on twitter about Buhari. The first one to be so popular was the one started when Buhari came back from London. #Babawhileyouweregone# where Nigerians informed him of happenings since he left the country. There were other ones like #Babawhenyougetthere# and the one after the election, #Ivotedbaba# and #Babanowthatyouarethere# the trend was too much and intimidating that the presidency had to pay for one #GEJwins# which still did not trend like the ones above.

3. ONLINE POLLS; Sahara Reporters was the first to carry out a poll on the 2015 presidential elections. The outcome was quashed by the presidency calling Sahara Reporters APC media. Reno Omokri started his own and the president was being beaten black and blue before associates and colleagues were called to come and vote to stop the embarrassment. When the president started leading by a shameful 1% he closed it. AIT after showing a documentary that is geared towards tarnishing the image of the President Elect, decided to test the how deep the believed cut they gave to him was by starting an Online poll but Nigerians Resoundingly voted Buhari. This made AIT to come up with one of the most flimsy excuse ever seen from a media house that there was massive vote from the same IP address over and over. An excuse that was disputed by experts in the field. Nairaland.com decided to conduct theirs few weeks before the election when the outcome came out i knew Baba was home and dry.

4. IRRELEVANT DOCUMENTARIES: In what appears to be the most shameful campaign of hate, calumny, mudslinging and total show of shame by a ruling party, there were documentaries on some principal characters of the Opposition Party. First was the documentary on Buhari then on Tinubu and Amaechi. I could remember my Primary six younger sister asking me why they were showing all these about Amaechi when he was not contesting for anything. A documentary that was aired late at night, in English, and some of its content were false. Buhari was even shown most times in his military Uniform and in an Authoritative manner that some people mistook the documentary as one praising Baba. No wonder after the Tinubu documentary, Nigerians responded by saying. " Even if you show baba and Tinubu stealing all the money in central bank we would still vote for them"

5. FAYOSE & FFK's COMMEDIES: I was one person that wanted Fayose and FFK to continue with their rants and comic campaigns. Imagine FFk saying they would report Buhari to God for not providing his Certificate. Fayose even showed us pictures and name of the hotel where he feels Buhari was. That Buhari Was receiving treatment and never traveled nor billed to speak at Chatham House in London. FFK went ahead to let us know about Tinubu's mouth odour and Lai's pampers. Many Nigerians never took this guys serious.

6. OBAS BLESSINGS AND ALLEGED OYEDEPO'S GATE OF HELL; To me the Obas blessings was just a formality. Because they changed nothing. But Jonathan Needed anything to assure him of victory. Whether Oyedepo said he will open the gate of hell on those against Jonathan or not, i just knew the President was sinking badly. A case that has involved opening hell is beyond repair.

7. PAID CHATTAM HOUSE PROTESTERS; Before Buhari was set to speak at Chatham house in London, there were news that there would be paid protesters who would carry placards and try to disrupt the event. It was so but in a very funny manner. Some of the protesters said they don't even know why they were there while the organizer said it was her job to gather blacks for such assignments. Some of the protesters were from other country and have been paid to just carry meaningless placards. If it has gotten to the point where protesters are bought, then the president re-election was a Herculean task already. I said to myself.

The Nigerians Elected Into UK Parliament: Are They Really Nigerians?

When the news filtered in that some Nigerians are contesting for the UK parliament seat, many Nigerians were happy their brothers and sisters were contesting for top public office in a white man's land.

But while many was happy and made was jubilant about their exploits, i sat down to ask myself if this guys were really Nigerians. Many Nigerians are quick to associate themselves with success in other land but will support mediocrity in their own Nation. 

What really has made the likes of Chuka Umunna and the others Nigerians, aside their names and the fact that one or two of their parents are Nigerians. Apart from that this guys are well and thorough bred UK citizens. They did not rise to the top of their political career through thuggery, they never shed blood just because of their ambition neither have they rigged elections to get to power. Their case is the opposite of their counterparts in Nigeria. So are they really Nigerians?

Nigerians have been proud of these guys but what is it that they are proud of in this guys? That these guys might be pro- homosexuals or might be one? Whereas Nigerians hypocritically despise such people in their country. That these guys have gotten married to a white woman of another tribe, religion or denomination. Or they have girlfriend of white descent as seen in the case of Chuka. Whereas here such marital combinations are frown at by almost every tribe and religion in Nigeria.

Certainly, Chuka and the rest guys who have won their parliamentary election does not discriminate against other religion, tribe, race or language. If they had, they wouldn't have gotten this far in life. 

What really has made this guys Nigerians when they hardly think like many of their fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters back home.

Nigeria and Nigerians must change their mentality towards many things and embrace themselves in love, shun tribal sentiments and see each other as one.
