Muhammadu Buhari and Atiku Abubakar… Embarrassing Choices
Written by JOHN ODEY ADUMA, PUBLISHER AND BRITISH CHEVENING SCHOLAR, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOMSERIES: BUHARISM & THE FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW
PART 5
…between a nation’s two most objectionable alternatives – Judas of Daura and Barabbas of Adamawa
“Russia has landed on the moon, the U.S.A. too has landed on the moon and China has just landed, but Nigerians can’t even feed themselves and govern themselves yet at a time when the re-colonization debate is ongoing in the West.
What occupies the minds of the babies called Nigerians are what they can eat, wear, the latest exotic cars and technologies, marrying many wives, partaking in the National Cake Extravaganza, endless partying (Owambe), Obitos, wealth without working – money, money, money, appearances, dumping one girl and going for another, moon sighting as directed by the Sultan of Sokoto and other emirs, the niqab/hija wahala, hunting for miracles, where they can live, accolades and approval of society.”

APC: COMPLACENCY AND CRASS INSENSITIVITY...THE CURSE OF A PARTY, THE TRAGEDY OF A NATION
Written by JOHN ODEY ADUMA, BRITISH CHEVENING SCHOLAR AND PUBLISHER, UNITED KINGDOMSERIES: BUHARISM AND THE FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW
Never in the history of all polities and democracies had a party so enjoyed a 100% goodwill as the APC did, whilst campaigning and on actually capturing power, but gone ahead to squander it on the altars of complacency, incurable crass insensitivity, divisiveness, authoritarianism, politcal aggrandizement, vendetta, grandiose greed/avarice, nepotism, regionalism, stupendous corruption, favouritism, hereditary privilege, religious bigotry, violence to national psyche and actual blood-lettings, cultural ethnocentrism and imperialism.
Yorubas are the Black Sheep of the Nigerian Union
Written by SANUSI LAMIDO SANUSI, EMIR OF KANO, NIGERIAAs the potentate of the ancient city of Kano, SLS points his accusing finger at the Yorubas for being the troublers of the Nigerian Federation, he must not forget that four fingers are pointing back at himself and his ilk - the caliphate delusionists, and by extension, his own Fulani ethnic nationality that have continued to hold the nation by the jugular since independence. And what is more, under the current Hausa-Fulani Government as led by Muhammadu Buhari, a supra Fulani irredentist like Sanusi himself, the whole of the nation's five fingers are pointing at his nomadic cousins for their bestial tendencies, brutishness and monstrosity!
2015: Between Liberation and Slavery , Part 1
Written by JOHN ODEY ADUMANon-caliphate Nigerians seem to have no clue what time it is in their history. They are unaware that they have arrived at the fateful junction where, depending on how they vote on Feb 14, they will either go into slavery for untold generations to come, or set out on a path to liberation. They have sleepwalked into their moment of fateful decision. If they don’t wake up now, they could vote themselves into slavery. But if, by some miracle, they are startled or shaken awake, they have a chance to vote their way out of the slavery path on which they have been for 70 years.
My task today is to help them see that such is the case. In the first section “Discourse on our mumuâ€, I shall explore why most Nigerians have been oblivious of what the basic struggle in Nigeria has been about since 1945. I shall then, in the section “2015 Election issuesâ€, examine the issues that are dominating this election. And show why the peoples of the New South should not allow themselves to be conned into voting for Buhari, the Caliphate candidate.
Preserving the dignity of the Internally Displaced Persons in Nigeria
Written by JOHN ODEY ADUMAIntroduction
Although there is no strict legal definition as there is for a refugee, but the United Nations Report - Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement defines an Internally displaced people/persons (also referred to as DPRE in many civil and military parlance) as people or groups of people who have been forced or obliged to escape or to leave their homes or places of habitual residence, in particular as a result of or in order to avoid the effects of armed conflict, situations of generalized violence, violations of human rights or natural or human-made disasters, and who have not crossed an internationally recognized State border. Please note that an internally displaced person (IDP) should not to be confused with the term "displaced person," which may encompass both internally displaced persons and refugees. The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) asserts that internally displaced persons or IDPs as they are sometimes referred to are among the world’s most vulnerable or defenseless people. According to the UNHCR, by the end of 2014, a record-breaking 38 million people were forcibly displaced within their own country by violence.
Buhari's Change Mission (2) and hidden Caliphate Agenda
Written by JOHN ODEY ADUMABy Chinweizu
Since Buhari was elected President, non-Caliphate pundits have been publicly offering suggestions on the changes he should make. These are changes the pundits think can fix Nigeria’s well-known problems: Corruption, the bloated and costly government structures, the lavish emoluments of legislators, and the like. Fooled by Buhari’s “Change†mantra, they imagine that what concerns them, fixing Nigeria in the interest of ordinary Nigerians, is also of interest to Buhari.

Adopting human face -approach in tackling global issues BY ITUAH AYEWOH
Written by JOHN ODEY ADUMAThere can be no more auspicious time than now for world leaders to opt for a more humane approach in their handling of the socio-economic and political issues in the world. The world and humanity in general are suffering from an acute depression of emotional neglect caused by many of the present prevailing socio-economic and political policies being used as reform models.
APC 'Doctors' and Nigeria...APC is not the answer!
Written by JOHN ODEY ADUMAJOHN ODEY ADUMA, PUBLISHER AND BRITISH CHEVENING SCHOLAR, UNITED KINGDOM
President Muhammadu Buhari, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Savanna Farms Plc, a Jacob pretending not to know about the ongoing rancour in the Farm House. The animals are already threatening one another: "...*the elephant ravages the jungle/the jungle is peopled with snakes/the snake says to the squirrel/I will swallow you/the mongoose says to the snake/I will mangle you/the elephant says to the mongoose/I will strangle you."
Adekunle Tinubu...The Author of ILLOGICA MATHEMATICA and the most indiscreet person in the world. "Don't mess up with me-o", his body language in the picture seems to be suggesting...but in just 90 days' time, this tactless bull will be chased out of the Savanna Farms Plc's Farm House, other wise known as the HOUSE OF UTHMAN DAN FODIO.

BY MUHAMMADU BUHARI, PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE FEDERAL ARMED FORCES OF NIGERIA
Today, we bring you the inaugural speech of a President who is stuck in the Middle Ages in all that he thinks, says and does. This is not a review yet, but we can tell you it is a very uninspiring speech hurriedly put together by Beer Palour/Brukutu speech writers - a mixture of inputs from the various competing interests that abound in the Association of Political Confusionists (APC), the Kerryan platitude, not withstanding. But what's the use of the reference to the sanguinary and imperialistic past mistaken for civilization?
If Buhari does not care a hoot as to giving an honourable mention to Compatriot SULEIMAN HASHIMU, then what makes anyone thinks this President cares about other talakawas?

Citizen Suleiman Hashimu not receiving a mention in the President's inaugural speech simply shows Buhari does not care about the commoners of the federation who have been sacrificing their lives for him up till his eventual ascendancy as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria! Mr Hashimu risked his life trekking to Abuja for this legendary and crassly insensate President. This President no longer remembers the ordinary people of Nigeria now that it is well with him. God dey-o!
