THE GOOD LUCK EBELE JONATHAN'S WOEFUL ALLIANCE

By the fact of it having Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and Namadi Sambo it ought to have naturally been a South South/Hausa-Fulani Alliance, but turned out to be an Ijaw/South South-Igbo/South East Alliance, cutting off the rest of the country to the undoing of first, Jonathan himself and his Ijaw ethnic nationality, hence it was very easy for the Nigerian electorate to bin him and his Government and perhaps, consign him to the ash heap of history permanently.
ESTABLISH APC MEDIATION COUNCIL for Settling disputes and appoint Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as GOVERNOR-GENERAL OR GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL OR CHIEF OF MEDIATION...ADJUDICATOR-GENERAL OF THE FEDERATION. Is BAT not a title lover and moreso, the longer the better for this dynasty-seeking adopted son of ALAAJA ABIBATU MOGAJI.

BOT AND BAT: BETWEEN THE DEVIL THE DEEP BLUE SEA

Whichever way you look at it the House of Uthman Dan Fodio has blindfolded Bola Ahmed Tinubu - and by extension the Yorubas as in the blindman's game and having been so blindfolded, observers of Nigerian history and politics, both in Nigeria and abroad watch them as they stagger and wobble heading towards the precipice or the valley of no return.
As for Tinubu, a man born to be thoroughly messed up, it will be for him as in the fate of all very greedy, self-centred, intensely ambitious, very pompous, all foolish - dynasty-seeking political officials who for self-glory often sell generations and their people to outsiders for a mess of pottage.

Having lost at the centre, where he had just been thoroughly messed up and probably had his balooned ego punctured by the superior strategists in the House of Uthman Dan Fodio, BAT has retreated tongue-tied with his bleeding tail between his wounded legs and deep head cuts to do local champion in Eko, his erstwhile political fortress. But I doubt very much if he has had any training in Piggy fight or mud duel.

THE EXUMATION OF THE NORTHERN PEOPLE'S CONGRESS

THIS HOUSE HAS FALLEN...HOW BAT GAVE VICTORY ON A PLATTER OF GOLD TO THE VERY FORCES THAT TRUNCATED JUNE 12

Although it was the APC that had campaigned and was awarded the winning votes through electimidation/couptimidation, the House of Uthman Dan Fodio went to the grave yard of history to exhume the once dead and buried Northern People's Congress to begin to implement the Arewa Planogramme - the Arabinization, Islamization/Shariazation, Hausanization, Fulanization and Arewanization/Northernization of Nigeria.

If June 12, 1993 was the day Moshood Kashimawo Abiola had his political machinery/platform dismantled, flung into Rilwan Akiolu's Lagoon - that junk yard of history for the political ne'er-do well and therafter sent him packing off into the the Great Beyond, June 9 was the day when Tinubu's political machinery/platform and of the Yorubas in the APC was dismantled and packed up, and then thrown into the Lagoon in Lagos from the far off city of worms and vultures by the demolition squad of the House of Uthman Dan Fodio, led by Nigeria's political BULL DOZER, who kills his enemies at a time when their lives are sweetest to them, just as his ancestors did, this time with particular reference not to Uthman Dan Fodio, but to that Fulani 'cricket' Alimi the slave who fell down the Yoruba 'Elephant' at a time when Field Marshall Afonja like Napoleon thought he had conquered the whole world.

Only a fool like idiot Tinubu would want to ever think of hurling himself against the former PDM's chieftain who rides on the back of his roaring lion looking for political opponents to devour. As Abiola before the June 12 Presidential election of 1993 was wont to be boasting in the companies of his friends and close associates: "Kilo se Ibrahimu yi? Ko so rare-o. Awa la fi won si be, tio oba so ra won, ama le won kuro and fi eiyan mi si be." But this was not to be, rather it was his kinsman Ibrahim Gbadamosi Babaginda (IGB and not IBB) who for the mess of pottage of the House of Uthman Dan Fodio has been claiming Niger State as his roots instead of OGBOMOSHO, along side other household members of the HUDF backed by external forces who had been meddling in the internal affairs of sovereign Nigeria since crooked James Robertson played monkey tricks to play up Abubakar Tafawa Balewa , also of the House of Uthman Dan Fodio to become the first Prime Minister of Independent Nigeria to do the biddings of Britain - who ended his political and legendary business career, where upon, opportunistic Tinubu gained very immensely by virtue of being one of the advocates for the actualization of the June 12 Presidential Election results as a member of the NADECO. The same old forces that have been 'sand-papering' the Yorubas since 1817 to the utter disregard of Hubert Ogude's advice to these descendants of Oduduwa: YORUBA RONU!

After the result of the March 28th, was this stiff-necked son of Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji not all over the place thumb-beating his chest that he did it all alone as the Jagaban-General in bringing back Buhammadu Muhari, an arch agent of the Caliphate to power? Was I too not all over the village square warning this Abibatu's adopted son to be circumspect by applying some wisdom and discretion? Was I also not all over every nook and cranny of our clan warning this greedy boy about the errors and wrongness of this alliance, but Adekunle Tinubu would not listen, because those whom the gods want to finish, they first make them mad.

When the wise will chronicle Tinubu's folly, they will ask themselves rethorically as they bite their fingers in remorse: "What was the use of a Tinubu jumping all over the place kadogo, kadogo like a kangaroo - from Afenifere to NADECO and to the so-called AFENIFERE RENEWAL including running away when the heat from the raging fire of June 12 became very fierce for him to hibernate in the United Kingdom, only to retrurn and after a few years of foolhardiness, delivered the throne of his fathers on a platter of gold to the same principalities and powers that had for many, many seasons (since 1817) oppressed, killed, maimed his people and plundered the POLITICAL KINGDOM OF NIGERIA?

Some roadside analysts have been deceiving their readers that BAT would be compsensated with a BOT chairmanship position - bo make them go tell that to the horses! In the matter at hand, BAT is not of the House of Usuman Dan Fodiyo, but Turaki whom I hear too is interested is - and he has gone ahead of his opponent to level the ground by rubbing the back of his fellow Fulani when he gave him the ladder to climb up the Senate's highest Chambers - or do people not know Abubakar Saraki is a Fulani, even though he has been flaunting his Yoruba identity of late by elongating BUKOLA with the addition of OLU to now read: OLUBUKOLA as if to tell his brethren YORUBA ISALE: Emi no omo yi ni-o! Meaning: I TOO, I'M YOUR SON or I too I'M YORUBA...his father's monkey tricks including all Yoruba oke people.
Common sense tells me: One good turn does deserve another or "if you rub my back, I go rub your back."

They said one Buhammadu Muhari had been snubbing elder Shola's suckling since his ascendancy to the Senate throne on June 9, 2015, and I say this is not true, because no Fulani ever will snub another Fulani.

However, they can snub/ignore and actually exterminate any kafir standing on their way. A BAT in their midst has been flaunting his Muslim credential in the name of Muslim Ummah, but he has to know that an Ethiopian Jew may live in Israel, but he is not an Israelite. And for those who do not know, the second INTIFADA is not only at international level, but operational at local/national level too and as it concerns Nigeria - the INTIFADA is either between the Muslim North v the Christian South or just the North v the South of Nigeria lumping every god-damned Southerner together as when the chips are down, to the average Muslim Northerner, a Kafir is a Kafir!

But let us for the purpose of looking at the two sides of a coin reason that as the Arewa chicanery of swooping on all sensitive and strategic positions in the Nigerian Federation has by now become all too, too glaring, so they MIGHT listen to the voice of wisdom by compensating BAT with BOT Chairman, and if that happens, he will just be a mere figure head, just to fulfill the 'Federal Character's righteosness', this I can tell you.

COMMONSENSICAL REASONING

Do you expect a former Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to kowtow to an Area Boy from Isale Eko in the name of being a BOT Chairman?
Think! Think! Yoruba, ronu!

Lest I forget, John Odigie-Oyegun like Denis Osadebey has played his monkey tricks well, so might be compensated with the post of SGF. Don't ask me about Ogbeh, O jare! They sure will find him something to do.

But will this reflect Federal charater...OYEGUN in that post is Yoruba - Old Western Region! What is more, federal character is not in the political calculus of the House of Uthman Dan Fodio, if it is, the nation might since the 60s have been saved from all the cataclysms.
And a voice ringing across the vista of time is asking this generation and posterity: WHAT ABOUT THE IGBOS? But the Hausa-Fulani never reckon with nyamirin...they still regard them as THE CONQUERED ONES despite Jack's deceptive slogan of NO VICTOR, NO VANQUISHED!

But let's for the purpose of scholarship, look at the two sides of the same coin, say BAT is given BOT chair - by my reckoning it would be better for him not to go for it as whichever way, landmines have been planted to undermine his authority all the way, everywhere and in every place. Here, here, herein lies the fate of a GIGANTIC FOOL!
And which ever way, BAT remains a BORN TO BE MESSED UP PERSON...the fate of ALL FOOLS!
In spite of, Nigeria with all thy faults, I love thee still!

May God bless our Nigeria and all of its Great People.

PART SEVEN

CURRENT ARRANGEMENT IN THE CURRENT DISPENSATION

Initially it was supposed to be a Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba Alliance as it actually remained so throughout the campaign period culminating in the COUPTIMIDATION of March 28th, 2015 in which the king who had travelled to a far off land was ushered back in pomp and pageantry and was handed back the keys to throne without ARGUEMENT by the then tenant-king GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN until as we have been predicting and actually analysing using our 'oracular beads', HURRICANE JUNE 9, whose force was greater than the TSUNAMI came and swept the Yorubas off their feet with the waves of HURRICANE JUNE 9 hurling its victims against all sorts of trees, boulders, broken down vehicles, the debris and every metal/steel and woods it has continued to forcefully carry along in the eye of the storm!

It was a wonder it had to be Shola's suckling from the AXIS OF PENDULUM/AXIS OF POLITICAL PROSTITUTION. There are many stories surrounding the cause of that TSUNAMI sparked by the mere and ordinary small boy still clutching his political feeding bottle in his mouth as he sucked/drank the pap therein - some people said he was just fiddling with something thinking it was a water toy, others said he learnt the rope from his old man, elder Shola, THE FOXY FOX OF KWARA, others said just one man, em, em one FATMAN - populary known and called FATTY MAN coached him on the hows of politics, I mean the ART AND SCIENCE OF POLITICAL TREACHERY and they said dey man also gave Elder Sola's pikin him magic book to read - HOW TO PLAN A COUP IN A DEMOCRACY and very dangerous books of his such as HOW TO KILL A MAN IN THE TIME OF LIFE; HOW TO DESTROY A GREEDY MAN; HOW TO KILL A MAN WHEN HIS LIFE IS SWEETEST TO HIM, etc, etc.

Recounting the story of elder Shola's boy's and his friend, Dogara, two popular tabloids in Bukolaland and Dogaraland notorious for their sensational-alliterative and eye-catching headlines hilariously captured their headlines thus: Bukola gun won ni iso lori (Bukola nailed them on the head!), Dogara ti gba won lati! (Dogara slapped them on the face).
Making fun out of it, the poverty-stricken people of the two clans would later amuse themselves by nicknaming both rebels variously as SENATOR GUN WON NI ISO/GUN MI NI ISO/GUN MI/GUN WON and HON GBAMI LETI/HON GBA WON LETI/GBA WON!

And the Opposite man one Ekwere was given the sobriquet: SENEATOR FOOD IS READY or for short FOOD IS READY/FIR and it was said the womenfolks in Ekwereland notorious for their light-hearted humour gave him the name COME CHOP or SENATOR COME CHOP or just COME CHOP SENATOR!
However, in this chaotic cobweb-like crisis, some clan elders in all of the clans involved in the messy-mess were said to have remembered a time in some distant generations when as the fate of all young persons who will not wait for their time, but try to run faster than their Creator were taken to a crocodile-infested river called CHOP CROCODILE were taken there by the venerable elders of the land who were mainly members of the aristocratic dance society - OGRINYA and thrown into the mysterious river and each told to eat five crocodiles and thereafter, returned home on their own, hence these elders rather than join the crowd to hail the clans' rascals, were merely reflective and cautious.

The oldest person in the land elder Wisdom, whose teeth had nearly all gone due to old age was heard saying the rebels had forced their way into the ancestral groves to steal mysterious kola nuts reputed to have seven billion lobes which keep growing and growing when a lobe is taken and said the rascals must each finish their lobes!

In APC's rancorous house the enemies and traitors alike increase every day, but something needs to be done:
Enter, Brutus:
There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.
Julius Caesar Act 4, scene 3, 218–224

STAY IN THE SHIP AND DO NOTHING...THE DOLOMITE OR THE SILENT SENTINEL SYNDROME OR RUBBER STAMP SOLUTION

Do you see a person whose house is on fires, but keeps sleeping and snoring and even when woken up by concerned neighbours, stutters: Ba frovbrem..how I for do? Muto yamutu...ba CHANJI! Keep sleeping then, Mallam!

AXIS OF PENDULUM OR AXIS OF POLITCIAL PROSTITUTION
POLITICAL PENDULUMS OR POLITICAL PROSTITUTES

These are rootless politicians as found in the Nigerian political class - to them its not politics of conviction and consciencism, but FOOD IS READY POLITICS. They are political scums and sacavengers always rumaging the political bins of the nation. They go for and settle for or get settled with GHANA MUST GO. To them it's not about principles and service-orientated politics, but politics of greed, intense ambitions and personal aggrandizement with the sole aim of looting public treasury having fat bank accounts at home and everywhere that is safe, properties, buying private jets, yatches, marrying many wives and having many concubines all over the place.
They are political contractors who without knowledge of construction are awarded contracts which they sell and resell and resell in a long line of chains until the money is finished, but at the ministry of works and housing you will find such inscriptions as PROJECTS COMPLETED!

ANY PART WITH WINNING WAYS (APWWW)

The NEW PDPers (npdps) are not likely going to put their eggs in one basket. They'd like to go where their bread will be well buttered or their vaunting ambitions will be realized, hence they are not committed to any particular political party. They are a band of boat rockers, spoilers of the worst order, roving birds, birds of the passage, pendulumic old foxes and birds who have lost their rooting abilities - a people to whom honour and integrity are thoroughly offensive.
They are like vicious savanna dogs who revel in purposeless malignity. They believe in BATian Machiavellianism of the worst type. Some politicians have been heard swearing they would rather kiss a very poisonous viper than shaking hands with anyone of them - and the wise elders have counselled that any greedy persons who want to eat with them should have fifty-kilometre-long spoons. Nearly everyone of them is gunning to be President, but it is worth mentioning a few with legendary inordinate ambitions whose self-aggrandizement is unparalleled in modern times. They are:
Turacrush
Saratraitor
Tinusnub
Kwaso who spent the whole of his years as a Governor watching the ceilling to prevent it from caving in on him.

LONA
THE TRIANGULAR OR THE PYRAMIDAL ALLIANCE AND THE MISSED OPPORTUNITIES OR SOUTH - MIDDLE BELT ALLIANCE

GOAL

ALLIANCE TO WHITTLE DOWN AND WEAKEN THE PEPERTUAL DOMINATION OF THE NORTH OVER THE REST OF THE COUNTRY
LINES OF NATURAL ALLIANCE (LONA)
⦁ SOUTH EAST
⦁ SOUTH SOUTH
⦁ SOUTH WEST
⦁ AND THE MIDDLE BELT against the core North.

In previous democratic dispensations, it was Eastern Region and the North against the former Western Region before the politcally motivated creation of or the carving out of the Mid Western Region from it in 1963, primarily to whittle down the powers of Obafemi Awolowo, but by 1965 when the so-called Caliphate North with its Northern People's Congress foolishly penetrated deeper into the heartland of the core Western Region of the Yorubas by forming an Alliance with Samuel Ladoke Akintola and his Nigerian National Democratic Party (NNDP), a situation which exacerbated the in-fighting which had been going on between the Action Group and the NNDP since May of 1962 forcing the Federal Government of Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa to declare a state of emergency that year in Western Region lasting six months in which Dr M. A. Majekodunmi, the then Federal Minister of Health was appointed by ATB as Administrator of W.R.

The NNDP-NPC Alliance of 1965 after that year's General Elections led to the second break down of law and order in the West dubbed OPERATION WETIE in which scores of lives were lost. SLA himself was to lose his life thereafter in the first military coup of January 15, 1966, spear-headed arguably by Major Kaduna Nzeogwu.

YORUBAS: ALWAYS THE LOSERS SINCE 1817

It must however be stressed here again as I have continued to do in my dissections of the origin of political and military alliances in Nigeria that in all of the alliances the Yorubas had entered into with the Hausa and Fulani people since the Kakanfo Afonja/Alimi Alliance of 1817 saw the defeat and the halting of the Oyo empire spreading beyond Oyo in which Mallam Shehu Alimi later turned round and killed the Yoruba General, Afonja leading to the Yorubas losing Ilorin to the Sokoto Caliphate, not a single of all the modern alliances the Yorubas have entered into since 1965 has worked beautifully - and in all of the cases from the Hausa/Fulani and the Yoruba Alliance as exemplified in the Afonja/Alimi Alliance, the Yorubas have ALWAYS been the losers and all such alliances have always led to untold violence resulting in the death of thousands with the Yoruba protagonists in such alliances getting killed, and putting it very mildly, getting thoroughly messed up, and in some of the cases they ended up in jail, ended up in being roped in phantom coup/s as in the cases of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida/Ernest Adegunle Oladeinde Shonekan (North/South West) or Hausa-Fulani/Yoruba Diarchy, the Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola /Baba Gana Kingibe Yoruba/Hausa-Fulani Alliance, the Sani Abacha/North (Hausa-Fulani) and the Oladipo Diya/South West or Yoruba Alliance.

However, speaking militarily, the Hausa-Fulani/North and the Yoruba/South West Alliances with Olusegun Obasanjo representing the Yorubas in various dispensations, both military and in a democracy in a way, mark the phrase "in a way" seemed to have managed to work, despite glaring hitches/antagonism/hatred/bruises and a few killings ONLY because the Yorubas as represented by their General son, Olu Obasanjo played the second fiddle in such military alliances, all of the time in order to survive.

But at other times when he stayed outside and decided foolishly and in his characteristic delusions of grandeur and messianic fantancy cum his poisonous letters, the Hausa-Fulani protagonists heading such Governments had either merely frowned/warned him or as in the case of Sani Abacha, the notorious village letter writer was hurled into jail with the then maximum ruler taking away the keys of Olu's very prison cell door, but forgot to throw them into the Lagoon, just as the titular Sardauna of Sokoto, the very arrogant Ahmadu Bello was reputed to have thrown a cop(y)ies of the Koran into the River Niger, so his delusional ONE NORTH would rule Nigeria in perpetuity.
But with the intervention of Providence, Olu's life was spared when the same Providence intervened again on his behalf, following the death of Sani Abacha, agents of the Caliphate led by Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida were able to locate the prison's key and headed there to release him, and like the Biblical Joseph, the same Providence lifted Olu up from prison to become the President of Nigeria for 8 years - even though that release was highly providential, the agents of the Sokoto Caliphate whom God had used to cause the release and eventual accelerated advancement of Olu and entrusted him their political kingdom, bidding him to occupy till they come, handed him a script, which leaving it to the imagination of the reader as to whether that script was just imaginative or actual, when Obasanjo having got the keys to the throne decided to deviate from its spirit for reasons best known only to him, the actual caretakers of the kingdom punished him with Sharia to snub him and his Christian South.
Did not Donaldson Oladipo Diya under the same Sani Abacha suffer the same fate which if not again with the intervention of Providence, DOD representing the Yorubas/South West in the Sani Abacha/North (Hausa-Fulani) Alliance would have been cheaply dispensed with, courtesy of the phantom coup or actual?

Since a major work by me on all of the Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba Alliances dating back to 1817 is ongoing and may be published on or before the 100 days in office of the current Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba Alliance as represented by the Arewa religious and ethnic jingoist, Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu representing the Yorubas/South West, I will just here ask my readers to reflect on the eventual fate of such great sons of the Yorubas like Samuel Ladoke Akintola, Adekunle Fajuyi, M. K. O. Abiola, Kudirat Abiola, Muftau Adegoke Babatunde Elegbede, Alfred Ogudegbiyiwa Erewarone (Itsekiri), James Ajibola Idowu Ige,Tunde Idiagbon and how Brigadier Babafemi Ogundipe ended.
In the current Alliance, a curious reader may scream out: OLULEKE OSINBAJO is the one representing the Yorubas and not BAT, well generally I'm not given to rudeness as I'm by nature a very gentle person, but this time round, and by the kind permission of my readers worldwide, I'd like to play the boss or the role of a bloody tyrant by telling this my well-meaning reader: KEEP QUIET, I have the floor, for in Leke Dey Boy, haven't the Yorubas, sorry, lest I forget, not the good people of Yoruba land, great children, or should I say, great descendants of the Oduduwa the Great, but the very greedy, or should I say, Ijekuje Bola Adekunle Ahmed Tinubu, therefore, hasn't this very greedy Bola, a child in the hands of infantile indiscretion and radicalism, thoroughly suffering accute, no, incurable delusions of grandeur given the House of Uthman Dan Fodio, a mere omo odo (house boy) who will be doing boi-boi in the current Alliance and saying SAAAH-MAAA to the principal actors of the House of Uthman Dan Fodio, I mean the PRINCES OF THE NORTH?

PART 4

CAN WE EVER DEFEAT TERRORISM AND EXTREMISM IN NIGERIA, AFRICA AND GLOBALLY?

But who really are the suppliers of weapons/foods to theses beasts, and who really are their financiers and who really do recruit for them globally as any global attempts to defeat terrorism and extremism MUST start by asking these questions and finding genuine answers to them, for you do not attempt to hew down an evil iroko tree in the villager square by cutting it from the trunk, but by going deeper in order to uproot all of its roots including its tap roots?

BUHARI AND NIGERIANS, STOP BLAMING AMERICA FOR YOUR SELF-INFLICTED JIHAD!

Pray, the Nigerian State does not have the needed weapons to fight/confront a band of miscreants that have held her captive since 2009, but these same monsters, non-State actors for that matter, have sophisticated weaponry/arsenal that many States in the world cannot boast of - so who is deceiving whom? But who really are the suppliers of weapons/foods to theses beasts, and who really are their financiers and who really do recruit for them globally as any global attempts to defeat terrorism and extremism MUST start by asking these questions and finding genuine answers to them, for you do not attempt to hew down an evil iroko tree in the villager square by cutting it from the trunk, but by going deeper in order to uproot all of its roots including its tap roots?

Then are you still deceived or would you still allow yourself to be deceived to think what is happening in the North East of Nigeria, Benue Plateau axis are works of the so-called INSURGENTS, UNKNOWN UNIFORM PEOPLE and FULANI HERDS MEN whom the Arewaites know nothing about them and about their financiers including how they procure their weapons, or who supply them these very sophisticated weapons both in Nigeria and in the Arab States including how they obtain their military accoutrements and food supply, how, when and from where they recruit?

BUHARI, WHAT REALLY IS GOING ON IN THE NORTH EAST OF NIGERIA, BENUE PLATEAU, BAUCHI, KADUNA, KANO, ABUJA - TERRORISM AND EXTREMISM OR JUST INSURGENCY?

Unless Buhari is involved in intellectual/linguistic fraud, he has been shifty regarding the jihadi exlpoits in Nigeria - shifting from INSURGENCY to calling them TERRORISTS when it serves him best - at home with Arewaites and those idiots calling for amnesty for THE MURDERERS OF THE SAVANNA, it's INSURGENTS, but in Washington before his boss, BARACK OBAMA, who now doubles as the President of the USA & THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, it's TERRORISTS!

WASHINGTON'S HIGH LEVEL DIPLOMATESE AND HOW ABUJA AND NIGERIANS FELL FOR IT

Lest I forget, I'd like to record for posterity that Barack Obama played a fast one on gullible Muhammadu Buhari, THE DINDIRI OF NIGERIAN POLITICS by inviting him for a HANDSHAKE with his fellow pupils including the Vuvuzela Pastor who should be reminded to MIND HIS FATHER'S BUSINESS in HIS FATHER'S MANY MANSIONS and leave politics for the politicians - just when he had had another visit to Africa in which again he was sure to shun/snub Nigerians for whom he has no respect just to fence off criticisms that having come to Africa he had yet again avoided Nigeria like a PLAGUE, Buhari visibly nervous (SHAKY-SHAKY PRESIDENT) and overawed by Obama's seeming intimidating aura, referred to Boko Haram as TERRORISTS, but no sooner did he touch down in Nigeria than he started referring to the AREWA'S HIRED MURDERERS as INSURGENTS ahead of the WELL DONE ceremony being planned for Abubakar Shekau and his fellow monsters in the guise of AMNESTY! Again, who is deceiving whom?

THE GREAT CONVERSATION OR THE GREAT NIGERIAN CONVERSATION

Appropriate machinery should be put in place immediately to hold a conference of all Nigerian political officials to discuss THE STATE OF THE NATION and nip the raging crisis in the House of KATAKATA in the bud - not another monkey confab, please!

SCRAP THE SELF-SERVING GOVWORM FORUM

In any way you look at it, what is now threatening to consume the South West as in the WETIE era of 1965 is the house Adekunle Tinubu had built - houses founded selfishly on sand, for he it was who initiated the idea of the All Nigerian Governors Forum which has become a highly satanic club to arm-twist the hand of any sitting President forcing the incumbent to be kneeling down for Governors and constantly heating up the polity, consequently halting economic activities.

Tinubu has turned himself into such a hate figure that wherever he goes, whichever place he steps into within the political sub-units of the country in the Nigerian Federation, his many foes are there waiting for, to pay him in his own coin, so the sooner he realises this and begins to watch his back and thread carefully the better for him. And a time is coming very soon when he might be left with ONLY his political egrets - amongst whom are the Kile jeku journalists (?), former university lecturers - your intetiredtual/interestual who only yesterday were teaching their students what they were not being paid to teach.

Whilst June 12th was the time the so-called and much trumpeted free and fair election was scuttled in Nigeria by the House of Uthman Dan Fodio, June 9th was the day when Bola Ahmed Tinubu met his political waterloo in the Battle of the Vultures engineered by the HOUDF. Phoenixes don't die they resurrrect.

SERIES: BUHARISM AND THE FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW

Acts of a President with a mustard seed-mind and a pawpaw tree hight
“I hope you have a copy of the election results. The constituents, for example, gave me 97% [of the vote] cannot in all honesty be treated on some issues with constituencies that gave me 5%.”
Buhari, had during a question and answer session with journalists in the US on July 22, said, “(Going by election results), constituencies that gave me 95 per cent cannot in all honesty be treated, on some issues, with constituencies that gave me five per cent. I think these are political realities. While, certainly there will be justice for everybody but the people who voted, and made their votes count, they must feel the government has appreciated the effort they put in putting the government in place.”
In the 21st century Nigeria, naivety still pervades its politics:
It is shocking and embarrassing to learn that in the midst of the position-sharing crisis at the Apex Legislative Assembly, Buhari who has chosen and has been so advised to play the silent sentinel behaving like a pendulum is being honoured with the excellent attribute of a tolerant, unobtrusive, non-interferring democrat who is giving all sides in the fracas the wide democratic space to exhibit their felinity and dogtitude. Truth is, Buhari and the Arewa cohorts out to pursue the ONE NORTH AGENDA are merely hibernating at the background, quietly moving things and directing the course of events at the ALA, hence to say that Buhari is non-committal, uninterested and nonchallant is to exhibit the worst form of pitiful and incurable naivety which is tantamount to a gross lack of the basic understanding of the complexity of the Nigerian politics as far as power struggle between the North and the South of Nigeria is concerned.
What is more, whilst the crisis at the ALA persists with its potential capacity to get messier, if not quickly arrested, Buhari, unknown to Nigerians, particularly the likes of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Bisi Akande, John Odigie-Oyegun and Rotimi Amaechi, is quietly recloning the Nigerian State in the image of Sharia through all of his appointments thus far, especially such appointments starting with Ahmed Joda (Muslim/North), as Chairman of his own side of the transition committee, knowing full well that the former President, Goodluck Ebele Jonahtan had chosen his Vice President, a Muslim in the person of treacherous Namadi Sambo (Muslim/North).
Other such appointments which have confirmed our earlier assertion that Buhari, a jihadi-Sharia bigot, an ethnicist and regionalist is a conginital nepotist and an Islamist include :
1. Acting Accountant General of the Federation Mohammed Dikwa (Muslim/North);
2. Acting Chairperson of the so-called Independent National Electoral Commission, Mrs Amina Bala Zakari (Muslim/North), who replaced another Muslim Ambassador Ahmed Wali (Muslim/North) who held that post for just 8 hours;
3. Chief of Staff to the President, Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali, former Military Administrator of kaduna State (Muslim/North);
4. Chief Security Officer to the President, Abdulrahman Mani (Muslim/North;
5. The President's ADC, Lt. Col. Muhammed Lawal Abubakar from Kano (Muslim/North;
6. State Chief of Protocol Lawal Abdullahi Kazaure (Muslim/North;
7. Director, Department of Petroleum Resources, Mr Modecai Danteni Baba Ladan
8. Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu (Muslim/North);
9. Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity Femi Adesina (Christian/South West);
10. Professor Umaru Garba Danbatta, Chairman and CEO, Nigerian Communications Commissions, North West, Kano State?
11. Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, South South, Delta State
12. Chairman of IPCC, Mr Itse Sagay, South South, Edo State, Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption, South South, Edo.
13. Aliyu Yahaya Gusau, Director General, Budget Office of the Federation, North West, Zamfara State.
14. Dr William Babatuned Fowler, Acting Executive Chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service, South West, Lagos State.
15. Retired Brigadier General Peter T. Boroh, Niger Delta Amnesty Coordinator

FEDERAL CHARLATAN (CHARACTER) COMMISSION
Alhaji Muhammed Alkali, Chairman
SCRAP THE FEDERAL CHARLATAN COMMISSION NOW!
Although an excellent idea in a multicultural-multi-lingual-multi-religious polity such as Nigeria, it has simply since its establishment in 1996 proved totally useless with all of its decision-making staff and become a mere money-guzzling outfit. Hence I want to again as I had been doing for years now call for the immediate scrapping of this SATANIC and Arewa outfit and I hereby call on all well-meaning Nigerians to join me in calling all of its principal staff one by one and shaming all of them and going ahead to call on the FCC's Chairman Alhaji Muhammed Alkali to resign immediately as he is NOT fit for purpose and NO GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY!
Go, Alkali! Alkali, go! You are simply USELESS in that office, GO!

Above were the names and States of origin of members of BUHARI's Supreme Military Council. Then the SMC was the highest lawmaking body in the land - unarguably the equivalent of the Apex Legislative Assembly, your so-called National Assembly - the Senate and the House of Representatives combined.
It must NOT be lost on Nigerians that out of the 16 Council members of the then SMC Bigot Buhari appointed 11 from the North, leaving the whole South with just 5 members!
The danger inherent in this type of lopsided composition of the national decision making body in a military setting is better left in the realm of the imagination.

Whilst Nigeria is being cloned in Sharia/Muslim image, it is very unfortunate that the Christians in Nigeria have as ever remained largely ignorant and stupidly displaying their trademark ignorance of and total lack of knowledge of their country reducing as usual, everything to prayer without action. And Pastor Oluleke Osinbajo just sits there like a rubber stamp! But the Bible says "Faith (prayer) without actions/works is dead."
Christians in Nigeria are so timid and naive to the point of not speaking out when it matters the most or fighting for their constitutional rights as in such other aberrations in the body politics as Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), beginning from September 25th, 1969 in the Kingdom of Morocco when Yakubu Gowon, a Christian sent a delegation led by Sheikh Abubakar Gumi in an observer status capacity to the eventual membership of Nigeria under Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida in 1986; membership of Developing - 8 under Sani Abacha; Sharia under Olusegun Obasanjo, a Christian; establishment of the so-called Islamic Bank; domination of the armed forces, the police; all para-military institutions; the civil service with the secondment rubbish which makes States in the North withdraw Federal civil servants of junior ranks to serve in their States of origin, where they are given rapid promotions to senior level positions within months and a few years, say two, and afterwards return them to the Federal Civil Service as Directors and Permanent Secretaries, etc, whilst their more educated, more qualified, more competent Southern compatriots still remain where their Northern compatriots left them - ENTRY LEVEL - and have returned now as Directors, Permanent Secrtaries(!); the Muslim/Muslim ticket of Moshood Kashimawo Abiola/Baba Gana Kingibe and the recent Muslim/Muslim Chairmanship of the so-called National Transition Committee in which Muhammadu Buhari deliberately brushed his Vice President Professor Oluleke Osinbajo aside, thereby excluding the Christian community in Nigeria of the headship of that so-called national committee.
What is more, since the inauguration of President Muhammadu Buhari on May 29th, 2015, the Christians and Southerners have been sleeping and snoring, whilst Buhari the arch agent of Arewa is quietly and steadily making what I'd like to call TELEGRAPHIC APPOINTMENTS OR TELEGRAPHIC RECRUITMENTS, so the Nigerian people don't decode his islamic intent - and all these are in blatant disregard for national inclusivity.
Provocatively, not a single of all the appointments made thus far by this jihadist has come from the South East!
With the exception of the Baptists and the Catholics whose priests/pastors/ministers have been very well trained to have a thorough grounding in all things, in every department of life, believing with ALL CERTAINTY that even though they are not of the world, but being in it they should have encyclopaedic knowledge of their HORIZONTAL RELATIONSHIPS as well as their VERTICAL RELATIONSHIP and MUST subject all things to thorough scrutiny including how their flocks are governed by the secular rulers taking cognizance of the fact, although as an international scholar, I would say arguably, that all authorities are of God, the Baptist ministers in all history are the most vocal against injustices, and they have been doing this across ages by holding Governments and nations accountable for all their actions and inactions whilst governing their people and they providing spiritual governance to their nations - with this little, will you still be at sea as to why Baptists were in the front rank of the pioneers/purveyors of those who stirred up the spirit of the age to rally round other like minds to fight against slavery culminating in actual abolishment of the evil trade?
And what is more, the Baptists had been foermost in the founding of the LIBERATION MOVEMENT - the Civil Rights Movement - Foremost of the 20th Century Civil Rights Activists was a Baptist Minister Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. who in one of his many sermon declared:
"Before I was a civil rights leader, I was a preacher of the Gospel. This was my first calling and it still remains my greatest commitment. You know, actually all that I do in civil rights I do because I consider it a part of my ministry. I have no other ambitions in life but to achieve excellence in the Christian ministry. I don't plan to run for any political office. I don't plan to do anything but remain a preacher. And what I'm doing in this struggle, along with many others, grows out of my feeling that the preacher must be concerned about the whole man."
—King, 1967[34][35]

...Buharism and the Fierce Urgency of Now

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...job done, Bala! Gudu! Gudu! Arewa Government in progress, keep off, Oduduwa...NPC so sai! APC yamutu!

SENATOR GU WON NI ISO

HON GBA WON LETI

It is now clear to everyone in Nigeria that the chaotic House of APC which in another dimension is the Arewa House of Treachery and Kataka which is of the lineage of Uthman Dan Fodio, which is of the family compound of Uthman Dan Fodio, otherwise known as the House of Uthman Dan Fodio is not only in a state of permanent flux, but full of arch coup plotters and coup plotters, both of the military and civilian types. Did not one Muhammadu Buhari smuggle himself and his gang into power on December 27th 1983 by truncating a democratically elected Government?

Did that same Muhammadu Buhari not get back to power on May the 29th, 2015 having earlier been elected on March 28th, 2015 through couptimidation or better still, electimdation, only for the reactionary elements from the Axis of Political Pendulum (APP) or Axis of Political Prostitution (Middle Belt or Midland) in collusion with some rebels from the opposite Party, funded by very powerful vested interest groups within and outside the Parties ganged up against the effeminate APC in a Saracoup?

And is the anti-Nigerianist and arch-nepotist Muhammadu Buhari not currently plotting a coup against Nigerianism, and the Nigerian electorate who were couptimidated/electimidated into voting for him and his Arewa Political Consortium (APC), the APC by way of telegraphic political appointments - appointing only the Arewites as his core security and administrative staff, and then extending this legendary nepotism of his dating back to his days as a military dictator, through the Petroleum Trust Fund when he hurled mostly Southern politicians into jail and gave juicy contracts to his kinspeople?

Therefore, as our attempt to foil the many types of coup that abound in the Arewa Political Caliphate (APC), it is hereby as a matter of national urgency and without further delay and much ado demanded herein, inter alia, that unless General Muhammadu Buhari is running a secret-cultic Government, he has just this week to cause the publication of the Ahmed Joda Transition Committee Report (TAJTCR) in all national dailies or put same in the public domain by creating an official website or cause to put same on the official website of the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria solely for the purpose, display copies at the APC Headquarters in Abuja, in States Houses of Assembly Libraries or Lobbies, Local Government Headquarters, Council libraries, community libraries (if any), national libraries, museums, 5-Star hotels' lobbies, send copies to schools, colleges and the universities, display copies in palaces, constituencies headquarters/wards, so that Nigerians can download, read, make copies for themselves or purchase copies and have insight and perspective into the contents (therein) of the Arewa Manual (AM) or Arewa Planogramme (AP) or Arewa Plan of Action (APA) or Arewa Action Plan (AAP), otherwise known as the Ahmed Joda Transition Committee Report.

Similarly, the PDP as a matter of same exigency should do likewise for the same purpose by putting their handover note to the APC/Buhari Administration in the public domain with a view to ending their tissues of lies about empty treasury.

Also, self-righteous Buhari and his Government must publicly account for all revenues the nation has been able to generate under their watch, both at home and abroad to confirm or otherwise the veracity of their wolf-crying.

MR PRESIDENT, FAIRNESS AND BALANCE (FAB), BALANCE AND FAIRNESS (BAF), MR PRESIDENT

What is more, the President has just one week to reverse all appointments already made to ensure ethnic, religious and regional balance. Any Nigerian can serve their country, guard and protect their President - the President is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and not the President of any regional enclave.
What is more, Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu have just this week to cause the removal of the President's picture from the Arewa Consultative Forum's webiste. It has taken me years to call for the removal of the pictures of all former Presidents/Heads of State from this regional association, and I'm not going to have it any more this time round, unless the President indeed wants to tell the world he is the President of Arewa and NOT the President of Nigeria.
Elsewhere, having his picture on a sectional/regional/ethnic website is enough to disqualify him from being picked as a Presidential flag bearer of a national Party as his allegiance to the Nigerian State is already in doubt.

OFFICIAL WEBSITE FOR ALL GOVERNMENT MINISTRIES/DEPARTMENTS & AGENCIES

Henceforth, the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Apex Legislative Assembly, Government agencies, States Government and Local Government Councils must bring their existing official websites up to date and to international standards supplying all relevant information such as names of principal staff, contact persons, emails, telephone numbers, press bureau, names and emails of media staff, reliable and comprehensive "Contact Us", short message form, press releases, latest news, speeches of the Head, case studies, white papers, photo gallery/projects (optional), drop your feedback, suggestions/ideas section, complaint section or "Tell it to the Head/Minister/Governor", etc.
Also, each website must have the head shots of principal officers, their biogs and the department's/ministry's organogrammes, facebook, twitter (etc), and those who are yet to have websites MUST as a matter of necessity create websites which are of international standards - and these websites must be regularly updated as it is usually very frustrating to obtain reliable/authentic/confirmed information about virtually everthing Nigerian, specific departments of Governments, business/political information, coupled with the fact that one doesn't usually get any person from whom to obtain general information, special information or pass security information to the Nigerian Government all of the time. What a grievous shame!

WARNING ON BUILDING/COUNSTRUCTION OF OFFICIAL WEBSITES
It must not be an opportunity to Fasholise the price/cost please!

EXAMPLES
Some years back I personally was to pass security information to the Jonathan Government through the SGF or any designated person, but that patriotic efforts of mine were frustrated.
Just last year, 2014 when the Western media were claiming all over the place erroneosly that over 2000 people were killed by Boko Haram at Baga, I did not then and up till now still do not believe that cooked up figures meant to damage the country before the international community, and having carried out investigations in all of the Northen States of Nigeria in the last 23 years and being very conversant with all the terrains the terrorists are operating, I had got in touch with the National Population Commission in order for us to get the actual official population figure of Baga and up till today, 04/07/2015, the NPC is yet to revert back to me on my official request!

I have also had the same frustration with the Corporate Affairs Commission when I sought to know officially in writing about a particular organisation known for its penchant for heating up the polity in the last 16 years and up till this time the CAC is yet to reply to my email to them seeking a very important information about a notorious organisation from a Government arm such as the CAC!

THEIR CLAIM AND BLATANT LIE

"The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) is a coalition of the elected Governors of the country’s 36 States. It is a non-partisan association which seeks to promote unity, good governance, better understanding and co-operation among the States and ensure a healthy and beneficial relationship between the States and other tiers of government."
NIGERIA HIGH COMMSION IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
It is far worse at the NHCUK if you are looking for any information from them about the Commission and about Nigeria from their officials. In fact, staff of the NHCUK here treat their fellow compatriots like pests and outcasts with inexplicable disdain from personal experiences as witnessed by me, but my personal case appears different because they know I'm a journalist.

Moreso, I had spent years of being up with my winnowing fork to see things changed/done there properly to international standards - although a little better now as at the time I visited some years back, but complaints of Nigerians to me still leave much to be desired.
The last time I was at the NHCUK, they just had toilets for both sexes in the same cubicle, not partitioned, which made males and females to be inside the same cubicle, stepping on each other without privacy. I did complain about this and was directed to an elderly man who was supposed to be a senior person, but whose level of reasoning was like that of a child. He ONLY showed seriousness after I had introduced myself.
Nigerians had complained to me about how they were usually left under rains and cold each time they had something to do there and the elements were unfavourable. These have painted Nigeria in a very bad light in a multicultural Britain as other nationals often do ask: "Is this how you treat your citizens?"

My first shocker when I went to the NHCUK with Stella Marris-Ekpene to arrange for the Lecture I was to deliver there in 2004 was to find that the whole of the Consular Office was peopled with Yorubas with just one Hausa person. This was under Dr Chrstopher Kolade. It was only diluted after I had complained in writing to former President Olusegun Obasanjo and published my findings at the High Commission in the Nigerian news media.
The case of one Mrs Obileye Minister level 3, brings to mind the saddest expereince I had ever received from any human being, when I was barely a year in the UK, whilst preparring to deliver a lecture at the Commission before and on the day of the lecture on August 31st, 2004 under Christopher Kolade. Mrs Obileye was then in charge of the Consulate Affairs on Chancery Lane at the time and she did everything to frustrate our efforts first in getting a date for the lecture took upward of four months.

On the day we had a meeting for the fixing of the lecture date, I went in the company of Ms Ekpene, Francis Amedjornoku, a Ghanaian and where Mrs Obileye felt best to receive the 'pests' - was in a dusty storage non-spacious office where old-dusty file cabinets were kept, instead of the very-large spacious Committee Room which she had 'colonised' as her office to play a queenly despot in her delusions of grandeur.

Taking us as she later confessed as those Nigerians whom she said went to the Commission to make monetary demands on them, hence was treating us in such a shabby manner. She had to have her bloated ego bursted by the then Ms Ekpene (now Mrs Orji) who out of that burst up anger at the mistreatment we were getting from a fellow Nigerian, introduced me to her as formerly Chairman, Editorial Board of the Daily Times of Nigeria Plc and saying forcefully to me in that angry mood: "John, show her those pictures of yours with the President - (former President Olusegun Obasanjo) and copies of your books! That man, you see there is not a small man, he's one of the great Nigerians of this generation, but he doesn't carry it on his head. The President of Nigeria knows about what he's doing here as well as Governors back home!"

It was only when Mrs Obileye saw all these that she sat up and and now accorded us the respect we all deserved. But must it be so? The High Commssion and Embassies across the globe are supposed to be places of refuge for Nigerians in the Diaspora, but from the reports I have from all over the world, Nigerians abroad are treated like faeces by their compatriots working in High Commissions and Embassies Offices, hence some Nigerians have been dying avoidable deaths abroad when they have problems with their host countries - something that could have been averted had these officials think the lives of their compatriots abroad matter and moved quickly. The President's attention MUST be drawn to this shoddy attitude of Embassies/High Commissions officials in the Diaspora towards their compatriots and he MUST thereafter make policy/public pronouncements on this shoddiness, gross irresponsibility and lack of patriotism.

Some years back when I was to renew my passport, I was told by London it would take a month to be done and when I sought an explanation they said it would take Abuja a month to process it. And being not satisfied I asked for the phone number of the Abuja office and the contact person and upon contacting them, they confirmed the veracity of London's claim. But no sooner had I dropped the handset that they phoned me up and told me it would be ready the following day. They then asked me to go to the Nigeria High Commission Office in London to pick up my passport the following day.

When they were queried on both sides of the Atlantic, they simply told me: "Na because you be Oga, we no want enter trouble. We don hear so much about you."
I then mildly reprimanded them and told them services to the nation and their customers ought not to be based on status, reminding them of the need to treat every Nigerian equally and afterwards advised them they needed to adopt international standards in the provinsion of services to their compatriots who are their customers and are in fact, regarded as CUSTOMERS here in the West.
To be continued.
