The law, Hate Speech, Media and Decaying Democracy in Nigeria V

Do we really have a country? I have always disregarded the saying that we leave in a zoo country governed by  blinds and blocks but the recent travails of the country with No remorse remains a big issue. First it was rodent chasing the president out of office and force him to work from home, a disastrous headline since history of Nigeria. Then the snake and monkey swallowing millions came, that was when I gave up the struggle. It’s indeed a zoo. Show me a country where Animals makes headlines and go away with such? Only in Nigeria, yet we claimed to have a President of Integrity. Alụ mee A blind don’t lead, they only rule. How we got a blind to rule over a country of 190 million people with sight and vision is still a question No one could do justice to. One who can’t lead in his family can’t make laws for others, he opted to call truism HATE SPEECH and force a law on his subjects to die by hanging. Did we actually elected a carnivorous Animal – like,  who feast on fl...

Our best leaving us in shambles and mercy of gullible leaders but represents well in foreign land. Toni Iwobi Elected In Italy As First Black Senator Toni Iwobi, a Nigerian IT entrepreneur who has spent 38 years in Italy, has been elected as the first black senator in the European country.

The law, Hate Speech, and Decaying Democracy in Nigeria IV

The law, Hate Speech, and Decaying Democracy in Nigeria  IV How we arrived where we are presently, I can’t really tell. What went wrong still very unclear to me. After pouring out our hearts, he finally visit the troubled State (S) TARABA, alone. What prevented him from going to BENUE, RIVERS, YOBE and the rest of them? Instead the weak and cabalous Presidency committee went on a mock mission rather than a patriotic visit. A man who’s house is on fire neglected the sorry state of his subjects to travel to Ghana for her 61st Independent celebration. A nation that left us on the floor to the pinnacle of economic stability and infrastructural development having recalled that Ghana WAS (then) no where near Nigeria. But wait, are we really independent like Ghana and other African countries making waves? I doubt if Nigeria is really independent, the 1960 event was only but a mere illusion and on the pages of history book. We are still undergoing colonialism maybe from an un...

The law, Hate Speech, and Decaying Democracy in Nigeria III

Comr. Chuks Tears in my eyes, bloody heart and guilty all over, where did we go wrong? I was once a pure and BOLD Buharist and unrepentant PMB but how this rats rallying round Mr. Integrity compels me to ask where were they when we brought PMB to power? Today and all of a sudden they are Making moves. Feasting on innocent bloods. Ridiculing Democracy and leading Nigeria into chaos and quagmire.  We served him the truth, he tagged it hate speech and called for death penalty law to silence those he believed to be afraid. I can never be afraid of a pee I let out. I feel the pain of the abducted girls parents, the same people that gave our platform a listening ear and hope back in 2015 when we pleaded they vote for PMB, who believed we would arrive at a cross road? But though nothing is impossible to happen because the BE-LIE-VE itself has an atom of LIE. Asking for a better Nigerian state, is now a dialogue between LIE and LYING. The messiah I thought was coming appeared ...

Buhari, His 2-Headed Dragon, And His ‘War Against Terror – Part 2 [MUST READ]

Femi Fani-Kayode (@realffk) This is the same Boko Haram that they told us had been “technically defeated” two years ago and whose leader, Abubakar Shekau, they claimed to have killed a number of times over the last three years but who keeps popping up all over the place like a bad coin. This is the same Boko Haram that they took 1 billion USD from government coffers a few weeks ago and claimed that they wanted to use it to fight. The truth is that they have told us yet another lie and anyone that believes the fanciful tale that the money was used to fight Boko Haram or any other terrorist organisation will believe anything.. Now that the Dapchi girls have been kidnapped, the Government will allocate to itself yet another 1 billion USD and tell the Nigerian people the same old story. Buhari has failed in his so-called war against terror and against Boko Haram and he appears to have lost control of his own security forces. The whole thing is a mess and a sham and, to some...
