Perhaps, they do not have access to the dictionaries or have never seen one, and if they do, but never do care, using their ordinary senses - not commonsense or simple sense to look up the dictionary for the definition of cabals, they would never have arrived at such ignominious and highly derided and pitiable conclusion.
Here's what that lithe frame diminutive mortal of a coordinating acting President called Oluleke Osinbajo , a man given to much-vaunted intellectual prowess/fecundity, juridical, pastoral wisdom and *intrepidity, but starkly and stupendously naive and ignorant when it comes to the ABC of the Nigerian politics, says: “cabals are meant to be secret...I am still looking for those guys. Honestly, I don’t know where they are. I can’t tell you that I know where those fellows are.”
But the next time any of his Jankara disciples  and political egrets, milling around him like irritant flies, are going to Mama Put for their usual rite of TOB Mixture (Tinubu, Osinbajo and Buhari), which involves ordering and mixing amala, eba and tuwo cincafi, a sort of culinary WAZOBIA and ordering them with a combination of ewedu, gbegiri, okra, ogbono and cooker soup full of pomo, shaki, toad, lizard, cockroach, earthworms, millipedes, and later washing all these down at a sitting with 36 bottles of odeku, 36 calabashes of oguro, three jugs of obrukutu (BKT), seven bowls of kunu and seven bottles of zobo...sho-o-o-o-o-o!
Brother make you dey there dey look like Dele;
Make you dey do sho-o-o-o like show boy;
Siddon there like sidon look;
Tanda there like Atanda
And dey look like Lukman;
In the Age of Buhari,
Go no go!
Sisters, things no yawa;
If you no eat, others go eat am,
Country fifle, Nangeraya is in the Age of eating whatever is available;
This no be gluttony, brother,
Just store everything inside your belly,
Because you don't know what tomorrow may bring.
If all these look a strange combination to the food vendor,
Just tell am, MAMA PUT.
God no go vex
Instead of gnu-gnuing like the mumbling bees
at the backyard beehives
Just tell Oga Coordinator your vote is worth more than all these.
Abi you never hear about the woman wey steal a cube of maggi
And we Naija fifle give am jungle justice;
Before you say Ogbele, what of the man wey steal just a slice of bread
And him Lordship give am life, leaving all the owners of the Minna-30 jets to deface the skyscape and pollute we air?
Aaaaah, make I no forget,
while him Lordship dey give minor thieves life
and death by hanging,
I hear say they no go try His Royal Highness anymore simply
because Sinner, slimmy Salami and Maradona intervene!
And Saraki dey waka about the place sharing money and moto with his fellow worms and vultures.
Huh-ngh; BIG MAN : ABOVE THE LAW
ROYAY FATHER : ABOVE THE LAW
But dis na obstruction of justice-o
God dey-o!
In the Age of Muhammadu Buhari abri fifle done tire about life -
Some dey tie themselves rope and commit suicide, others,
Not on the orders of Kabiyesi dey jump inside lagoon by themselves to drown and end it all!
Country fifle, WAHALA DEY-O
Loudmouth Kachichukwu say Baba Daura dey work in London,
That to me means Buhari done become President of Britain,
And him two parrots dey Naija dey talk nonsense collect salaries
for doing NOTHING!
Haba! I hear say you wey see lizard and cockroach chop dey complain,
I beg make you park,
You for know say one vote for Baba Daura na one thousand hardships and sorrows:
THE AGE OF BUHARI IS THE AGE OF SORROW UPON SORROW, TEARS UPON TEARS, SUFFERING UPON SUFFERING AND DEATH UPON DEATH!
Mr Kpano-kpano, stop this noise, come pass go where you dey go...
Trouble dey the montain, run! Run go there!
No be for road the fire dey.
Una intelligence, na woman intelligence.
Ehen, as I was saying, just wondering if una mumu never do, and if una mumu never do, una suffering too never do?
B-e-g your pardon, let me link up with my subject matter:

Yes, what I was about to say before the the present condition of Nigerians under Buhari took the better of me was, the next time Leke's political egrets are at Mama Put, they should request for the BOOK OF ORDINARY SENSE from Mama Akeem to give to their Principal.

Just after the 2015 General Elections had been held and won, Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his usual boyish celebratory excitement and infantile radicalism, went to town with his entire thugs and political egrets, where he was crowned as the world's No.1 political strategist cum king maker - this was in addition to his chest-beating - feet-tapping and hi-fiving claim to having an encyclopaedic knowlege of the Nigerian polity, even more than Chief Obafemi Awolowo, and going ahead to lay further claim to being an incomparable repertoire of knowledge!

Alas, after two years, the so-called iroko, alpha and omega of Nigerian politics, just like the biblical Mordecai at the gate of King Ahasuerus, Omo Alhaja, lies at the gate of GIDA USMAN DAN FODIYO, bedraggled by the ceaseless rains of the Nigerian politics, having benumbed fingers and feet, shaking like SHAKY-SHAKY DADDY with phlems drooling down his nostrils, picking and eating the peels of the political scars he had sustained in a 'duel' with the descendants of Uthman Dan Fodio, who no doubt, since 1824 have proved to the Yorubas in all their alliances therefrom that they are more calculating and craftier than the descendants of Oduduwa.

Why is it that whenever Buhari is around Asiwaju often retreats to the background, maintaining a very low profile, but once he travels out of the country he comes out of his hiding to dominate every national space?

B&A: FOR YOUR *INFORMANCE OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE PRESIDENCY UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE INCLUDING ALL UNAUTHORISED PERSONS!!!

At the gate of Gida Usman Dan Fodio, where BAT today is a very piteous spectacle, the Arewaites' disdain for him and his people is such that they pooh, pee, remove coughs and phlems and throw them on these their political slaves, yet they don't get it!
They couldn't even get it still with the establishment of Fort Muhammadu Buhari.

Simple akritions (Yala for questions) such as: "What are you fortifying in Daura, the birth place of the wicked Herod of Daura (HOD), instead of fortifying the whole country; will you also, build Fort Benjamin Nnamdi Azikiwe, Fort Tafawa Balewa, Fort Johnson Umunakwe Aguyi-Ironsi,  Fort Yakubu Gowon, Fort Murtala Muhammed, Fort Olusegun Obasanjo, Fort Aliu Shehu Shagari, Fort Ibrahim Gbadamosi Babangida and ask him to donate the N500, 000, sell the ten fat cows and donate the total amount of money towards the bizzare project, Fort Ernest Shonekan, Fort Abdulsalami Abubakar, Fort Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, Fort Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, all built in their birth places?

And go on to whisper into the blocked ears of Buradunder-head that the only FORT worth having at this time and at ALL times is FORT NIGERIA; for the security of the entire nation is much more important than the security of any one man or group of persons or that of one of the nation's many ethnic nationalities - the Hausa and the Fulani people.

B-e-g ya pardon,  is Boy Yusuf seeing something all of us are not seeing; if Mr Muhammadu Buhari exceeds the required constitutional provision for his absence with respect to the so-called medical vacation and there's is a public outcry for him to resign or be impeached, is this new venture a calculated attempt to pre-empt this so as to make Oluleke Osinbanjo go on to be the Coordinating Acting President (CAP...aaaah, Daddy, G.O, make you pray well, well, well, well, gan ni for your spiritual son-o!) until the expiration of their joint ticket, if in the end the substantive President for reason of ill-health is unable to perform his constitutional duties?  May no one, cabals, especially be able to cap his advancement-o), whilst Buhari on his sick bed remains in principle as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria until the end of his constitutional one term elapses?

But aren't Nigerians supposed to be receiving a daily or weekly briefing regarding his health status and condition being the ones footing their President's medical bills abroad; by the way, how much has been spent on the Herod of Daura (HOD), thus far?
Boy Buratai is a Federal Officer, why did he have to go and report to the emir of Daura, Alhaji Dr. Umar Farook - O' beg your pardon, again, the media in Nigeria actually reported he went on a courtesy visit - Em...but what really is going on?
Nigerians need to know. They deserve to know the situation of things around their President, who is the property of all Nigerians - and they so have the right to know, lest it will be recorded for posterity that at a time like this, someone took the Nigerian people for a ride as in THE FOOLS FOOT THE BILLS without knowing what ails their beneficiary!

But can Mr Coordinator face the nation just this week and tell her: WHO AUTHORISED FORT MUHAMMADU BUHARI - WHY, WHAT FOR AND WHY SUCH A WASTE IS NECESSARY?

Are Buhari and his kins people more important than the Nigerian people and the entire country, NIGERIA?

Despite all of these, Bola has always stupidly doubted the existence of those who have always treated him as his people so badly and disrespectfully:
Said Bola recently: “They should be advised not to allow fear to ambush their better judgment and their courage. They should not give themselves to idle speculation. We should not buy into the myth of some cabal at work. Dwelling in empty speculation on the existence of some mythic cabal is not what the country needs at present. From what I can see, the President remains at the helm and his policies are being implemented." Oka re-o, Omo Alaaja! Ku oro gidi gidi, huh-ugh. Shio!
Of a truth, both BAT and Sinner, his political Omo odo need a pity party to be held in their dishonour, where the discerning would go and weep onto the lagoon for their complete folly and idiocy. But in the mean time, let all those who can read the hand writing on the wall join me to lament for the duo:
Pity! Pity! Pity then, Bola and Baba Coordinator.

Had these people any sense of history, they would have known at this stage of their political career about the following dates starting from the Yorubas dealings with the Fulanis and Hausa people since the pre-colonial period, as hereunder listed:

THE PAST IN THE PRESENT
⦁    (b.) EHOES OF  1824 (Afonja v Salih Janta); Obafemi Awolowo v Samuel Ladoke Akintola (with the latter turning to the - cabals in the Hausa-Fulani Government of Tafawa Balewa for help, with Dr. Moses Adekoyejo Majekodunmi benefitting as Sole Administrator for Western Region), 1962; Obafemi Awolowo v the Cabals (the Balewa Government/ Justice George Sodeinde Sowemimo of the MY HANDS ARE TIED IGNOMINY), 1963; Brigadier Femi Ogundipe v Yakubu Gowon, 1966 ( a junior officer refusing to take order from the then Brigadier - this is likely to be worse as the COORDINATOR-GENERAL OF THE FEDERATION is already facing humiliation and will be facing worse than Ogundipe's in the coming days); Obafemi Awolowo v Yakubu Gowon, 1967- 1971; June 12, 1993 ( Moshood Kashimawo Abiola v Ibrahim Gbadamosi Babangida); Ernest Shonekan v Sani Abacha, November 17, 1993; OLU OBASANJO & THE INTRODUCTION OF FULL SHARIA IN NINE NORTHERN STATES AND PARTIALLY IN THREE OTHERS, 1999; THE DOCTRINE OF NECESSITY SAGA (Goodluck Ebele Jonathan v the cabals & Nigerians v the cabals), 2010; and currently, OLULEKE OSINBAJO v THE CABALS (Yoruba/South West - Oduduwa v Arewa/Gamji - Gida Usmanu Dan Fodiyo) - and by extension, Nigerians v the Cabals)...A FAKE 'DANIEL' IN THE DEN OF LIONS. Thus, my understanding of Nigerian politics tells me that as perceived by the cabals a mere coordinator, a status more elavated than how I see him at Gida Usuman Dan Fodiyo as a mere omo odo (Yoruba for house boy), and on top of that in the eyes of the Hausa and Fulani people, just another kafir and an abeed from the South, whose ancestors and the present generation of his Yoruba ethnic nationality have continued to be looked down upon and highly disrespected since 1824 beginning from the power tussle between Afonja and Salih Janta, leading to the seizure of Ilorin from the descendants of Oduduwa, such that the Ilorin emirate and in fact, the whole of Kwara State remains subserviently and obsequiously subject to the whole of the Sokoto Caliphate, even though moribound as far as I am concerned, under the current Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Sa'ad Abubakar IV.

Until the descendants of Oduduwa start reflecting on the immortal expression of the great theatrical avatar, Hubert Ogunde: YORUBA RONU and begin to think, think, think and do a much more profound and reflective thinking, they will continue to be disrespectfully treated by their Fulani and Hausa compatriots.
If every human being by nature loves power and influence, then cabals exist everywhere including the smallest unit of a nation, the family. There is therefore, the existence and prevalence of the cabals in every sub unity of society - be it in schools, colleges and the universities (the education cabals); trade union (the union cabal), amongst the traditional rulers (the royal cabal), ethnic nationalities/associations (ethnic cabals), the civil service (the civil service cabals); the military (the military cabals); the police (the police cabals); the para-military (the para-military cabals); the entire Nigerian polity and the Presidency (the political and Presidency cabals).
Currently in the Nigerian Presidency, there are two contending forces, politically speaking, behaving to each other like cats and dogs - the Hausa/Fulani-Arewa cabals v the South West-Yoruba-Oduduwa cabals, both forces contending for supremacy and power, vying for the soul of the Nigerian nation - and that power tussle would soon explode in the face of the nation and will not engulf a few.

Therefore, the cabals do exist and operate in every national space, continental and its space - their ubiquitous and universality are not in doubt  as they also exist and operate in international spheres.

There is also, the existence of a cabals within a cabal perpetually in conflict with each other, and where one cannot torpedo the other the power struggle leads to a split, where a splinter group goes on to become independent and in most cases, becomes more desperate, ruthless and very dangerous, threatening the overall existence of the other.

The fact that one of the two groups of political and ethnic cabals in the Nigerian Presidency under Muhammadu Buhari/Oluleke Osinbanjo could reduce the other group of cabals in this case, the South West-Yoruba-Oduduwa to a mere coordinator and have a mere house boy-file- carrying-office assistant, on allowed to append his signature nervously only on HOW-I-FOR-DO(?) matters or just HOW-FOR-DO(?) issues of lesser national and international importance, is a fine, but nationally and patriotically speaking, very embarrassing and disturbing and it smacks off a very crude and shameless display of naked power, medieval aggression, supremacy and unparalleled superiority aimed at provoking all democracy and freedom-loving Nigerians, moreso, the descendants of Oduduwa, whose little son is now in the lions' den currently.
It is therefore, my candid conclusion that anyone who holds the view that the prevalence of the cabals in the nation's socio-politico-cultural and economic life is a myth should head to Ojota Motor Park/garage and pick a free copy of the ABC OF NIGERIAN POLITICS  and thereafter, head straight to Yaba Psychiatric Hospital and obtain for themselves a bed in WARD 001, where they will have their acute maetal problem diagnosed and treated - let them relax there and digest the book and ruminate on its overall contents, unit by unit.

It is also, a public display of the highest form of naivety to say that the once dreaded, highly meddlesome and intensely ambitious Kaduna Mafia has fizzled out or is dead. The name Kaduna Mafia may not be popular any more, but it's crass ignorance to say they are no more.

What has happened is that the erstwhile Kaduna Mafia being cameleonic, keeps metamorphosing into one group or another under any Government in power (AGIP) - or if you like, they have the capacity to re-invent themselves during the life time of any administration - the same people, group, whether military or civilian that have been influencing the polity, whether negatively or positively since the negotiation for Nigerian independence, moreso, from 1966, together with their progenitors/proteges/cronies/descendants/offspring are the ones still holding sway, whether in the political, economic, cultural and religious sphere, and with respect to the the religious sphere, this applies more, to the Hausa and Fulanis.

Checkout all public appointments in Nigeria since the 1960s till date, they have always followed hereditary privilege pattern, not on merit, and then the crumbs are extended to their alleluia boys and girls in the Middle Belt and in the South of Nigeria.

Even the supposedly dismembered and and scattered Lantang Mafia, have sought refuge in the current HAUSA-FULANI-AREWA-GAMJI-GIDA UTHMAN DAN FODIYO CABALS that have been holding sway since the First Republic - and the likes of Olu Obasanjo and T.Y. Danjuma, Audu Ogbeh, Wantaregh Paul Iorpuuu Unongo, that illegitimate son of the invincible Tivs of yore, Abubakar Tsav, another despicable prodigal and lost son of Tivland (these two despicable folks must go to Joseph Tarka's grave and weep very profusely, for playing Esau at GIDA USMAN DAN FODIO, South South, South East (in the past we had had from amongst their Ndigbo errand boys such as ( K.O Mbadiwe, Walter Ofonagoro, Daniel Kanu of Youth Earnestly Ask for Abacha, Uche Chukwumerije, Ojo Maduekwe, etc), and some South West military officers, political officials/other politicians and civilians are often co-opted to carry out their bidding for a mere crumb, whilst they sit idly by - or just be chanting ONE NIGERIA and trying to out do one another to the delight of their Hausa and Fulani Local Colonial Masters by hollering all over the place: THE UNITY OF NIGERIA IS NON-NEGOTIABLE.

Please accept my pitiful pity if you think the forces that teamed up with the British colonialists - who were coached by Sir James Robertson, the last British colonial administrator to leave Nigeria on how to balkanise the the Nigerian nation, following the jihadi routes of Uthman Dan Fodio to favour the Hausa and the Fulani, NOT necessarily the North, are different from the population forces in which Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa had to sack Warren J. Buffet, the then Electoral Commission Chairman after the results of the 1962 population census had been announced, with Southern Nigeria having the majority figures; the forces that engineered the pogrom, leading to the deaths of millions of Christians in the North, especially Ndigbo; the forces of the counter-coup of July 27, 1966; the forces that humiliated Brigadier Babafemi Ogundipe and later flung him to far away UK as an Ambassador, instead of succeeding General John Umunakwe Agu-Ironsi, being the most senior officer then; the forces that provoked the civil war lasting 30 months; the forces that through one of their grand children stooges, prayerful Jack lied to Nigerians, especially the Igbos after the civil war that there was NO VICTOR, NO VANQUISHED, but in which the real beneficiary of power in Nigeria are the Hausa and Fulani people, together with their Yoruba errand boys and girls in the various Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba Alliances since the 1960s; the forces that kicked General Yakubu Gowon out of power in 1975, when they belatedly discovered he is a Christian presiding over the affairs of their great caliphate - NIGERIA; the forces that brought Olu Obansanjo to power twice, even when he ran to hide in one of those ocassions; the forces that planted all the military regimes from Muhammadu Buhari on December 31st, 1983 to power up to General Abdulsalami Abubakar; the OIC issue which saw Ebitu Ukiwe, an Igbo officer kicked out of Government and the Navy;  the forces that truncated the June 12, 1993 Presidential Elections results; the forces that forced Ernest Shonekan out of power; the forces that created the phantom coup leading to the detension of June 12 Officers, notably General Dipo Diya, General Kareem Adisa, etc), including one Olu Obasanjo and later brought him out to rule Nigeria; the forces that introduced Sharia, and later went on to create Boko Haram; the forces that brought Umaru Yar'Adua to power, took him to Saudi Arabia for treatment, only to return his corpse home to plan a coup, whilst proposing the option of Turai Yar'Adua, his wife to succeed the him, but was prevented via the application of the Doctrine of Necessity, which enabled Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to succeed his former boss as President eventually, thus avoiding the cabals' intended spat on and an unparalleled disrespect to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the forces that plotted, captured and hid the Chibok girls and are now bring them out from where only God knows - are different to the forces that brought Muhammadu Buhari back to power on May 29th, 2015, and now hiding his health status from Nigerians and desperately plotting to unseat the constitutionally recognised Vice President and now, also, the constitutionally recognised Acting President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, in the event of any untowardness arising from President Muhammadu Buhari's current publicly unknown ailment.

These are the same forces that have held the nation by the jugular, that under developed Nigeria, destroyed the nation's educational system, balkanised all her geographical spaces in favour of the Hausa and the Fulani people since the start of our national *odyssey in the 1960s, dominating all the national spaces, the so-called national institutions, including the military, the police, para-military, the civil service, the ownership of the oil blocks, the national economy, major national contracts, which often do end up unexecuted and are now nationwide involved in cultural transfer through geographical space redistribution within the Federal Republic of Nigeria, using the Fulbe herders and their foreign jihadi collaborators to steal, kill, maim, destroy, rape and subsequently disposses other Nigerians of non-Hausa/Fulani stock of their ancestral lands!

To all compatriots weeping now, I say be consoled and weep not. Today the evil cabals and their cronies are having a field day, but it won't be long for the Almighty God to once again smile on us when He puts the cabals and the other enemies of the Republic under our feet and cause His face to shine on once more.

"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."-Psalm 30:5
Christian! If thou art in a night of trial, think of the morrow; cheer up thy heart with the thought of the coming of thy Lord. Be patient, for
"Lo! He comes with clouds descending."

Be patient! The Husbandman waits until He reaps His harvest. Be patient; for you know who has said, "Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to every man according as his work shall be." If you are never so wretched now, remember

"A few more rolling suns, at most,
Will land thee on fair Canaan's coast."

Thy head may be crowned with thorny troubles now, but it shall wear a starry crown ere long; thy hand may be filled with cares-it shall sweep the strings of the harp of heaven soon. Thy garments may be soiled with dust now; they shall be white by-and-by. Wait a little longer. Ah! how despicable our troubles and trials will seem when we look back upon them! Looking at them here in the prospect, they seem immense; but when we get to heaven we shall then

"With transporting joys recount,
The labours of our feet."

Our trials will then seem light and momentary afflictions. Let us go on boldly; if the night be never so dark, the morning cometh, which is more than they can say who are shut up in the darkness of hell. Do you know what it is thus to live on the future-to live on expectation-to antedate heaven? Happy believer, to have so sure, so comforting a hope. It may be all dark now, but it will soon be light; it may be all trial now, but it will soon be all happiness. What matters it though "weeping may endure for a night," when "joy cometh in the morning?"

THE PRESIDENCIES: A PLAYLET BY JOHN ODEY ADUMA

Omaga was a very well known courier services rider throughout the Great River. He had received many awards such that were it not for the endemic corruption in the Great River Federation, he would have received many national honours very long ago, after he had been so nominated, many times over. Unlike the other parcel delivery rider, he was very loved and trusted. What is more, he was a stickler for time, who never believed in the so-called African Time. But one occassion he had been given letters, all packaged to be delivered at the Presidency and on arriving at the gate he discovered that there were now many Precidencies in the GRF.

Enter, First Soldier (Barking at Omaga fiercely and very furiously).
