SERIES: BUHARISM AND THE SWIFT URGENCY OF NOW
"Buhari asked us to focus on northern Nigeria — World Bank" Punch healine of October 13th, 2017 which supports the onus of this article.
All I'm saying is, a serving Inspector General of Police cannot do launching, using the instrumentality of a police broadcaster to steal, extort and rob the public of their money to be so donated by all the political crooks, business crooks, royal crooks, civil service crooks that abound in that country, whilst millions are going without food and clothing for days, weeks and months - and what is worse, with workers not being paid salaries in Nigeria!
And NEVER, EVER must a time come in that country when an IGP will brazenly and unashamedly stand before the Nigerian public to solicit for funds to establish such a very questionalble outfit - NEVER!
Still not even when the genuine intention of this ignominious venture cannot be vouched for.
And after retirement, the ex-IGP, Ibrahim Kpovulture Idris becomes the Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer of the so-called police broadcaster?
Your guess is as good as mine!

Can Nigerians not yet see that the children of today's Generals, serving and retired already form the next generation of the nation's Generals?.The names of their General-fathers are the yardsticks by which competitive performance, military intelligence and strategy are measured in the armed forces and the police of today in Nigeria. This is how best to run a national institution!

BUHARISM AND THE FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW
CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE ABUSE OF OFFICE AND THE CANNIBALIZATION OF THE FUTURE
"The police should relate with the public, but not as in partnering to establish a broadcaster, buy the police operational vehicles, build barracks, doing actual business together as pooling resources together to do business, doing such other dirty deals, save training and development, payment of their salaries by private citzens who of course, without mincing words are thieves, amongst them those still stealing the nation blind, and the ex-robbers, ex-drug pushers, ex-kidnappers who have now veered into seeming legitimate businesses."
Hey, October Is Cybersecurity Awareness Month! 20 Cybersafety Tips, Advice For Nigerians
Written by DON OKEREKE, SECURITY EXPERT/CONSULTANTBY DON OKEREKE, SECURITY CONSULTANT AND ANALYST
The United States of America designates every October as ‘’National Cyber Security Awareness Month’’ (NCAM). Initiated in 2004, the National Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a collaboration between government —the U.S. Department of Homeland Security — and private industry — the National Cyber Security Alliance, and other partners. The National Cyber Security Awareness Month campaign is aimed at raising awareness about the importance of cybersecurity (safeguarding digital information) and to increase resiliency in the event of an incident. The United States President, Mr. Donald J. Trump proclaimed the October 2017 National Cybersecurity Awareness Month a while ago at the White House. The National Cybersecurity Awareness Month campaign is now a global call to action. Canada, Europe and other countries have joined the fray. Africa, nay, Nigeria must take a cue.
Security Awareness: Best Practices To Secure Places Of Worship, Protect Against
Written by DON OKEREKE, SECURITY CONSULTANTBY DON OKEREKE, SECURITY CONSULTANT/ANALYST
Introduction
The age-long reverence for places of worship and religious leaders is increasingly eroding around the world. The unprecedented security threats to places of worship are diverse and alarming. They include: terrorist attacks, kidnapping of religious leaders and congregants, theft of relics and offerings, arson active shooter incidents, amongst others. An active shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area. Victims are selected at random. Event is unpredictable and evolves quickly. I will cite some incidents to buttress the fact that places of worship, religious leaders are no longer venerated nor spared by men of the underworld.
At about 8:30am on September 8, 2017, three gunmen posing as worshippers invaded St. Thomas’ Catholic Church, Onilekere, Ikeja, Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria and shot the Parish Priest, Rev. Daniel Nwankwo at close range. The incident took place after the priest concluded morning Mass. In Imo state, Reverend Father Cyriacus Onunkwo was on September 1, 2017, abducted and subsequently killed in cold blood by his assailants. An police ex-corporal, Mr. Jude Madu, is one of the five suspects arrested for masterminding the abduction and killing of the priest.

"Since 1914 the British Government has been trying to make Nigeria into one country,but the Nigerian people themselves are historically different in their backgrounds,in their religious beliefs and customs and do not show themselves any signs of willingness to unite.Nigeria unity is only a British invention"-Alhaji Tafawa Belewa.

LIKE CATTLE EGRETS AND COWS...A TOAST TO NIGERIAN UNITY AND BROTHERHOOD
Psalm 133
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

WHY THE FULBES WON'T SETTLE DOWN FOR A SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE LIKE THE REST OF HUMANITY AND SUBSEQUENTLY GIVE UP SUBSISTENCE PASTORALISM AND EMBRACEE ECONOMIC PASTORALISM IN ORDER TO PROMOTE SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICALLY COMPLIANT LIVESTOCK FARMING IN NIGERIA
1. The desire to keep a an archaic/obsolete/antedilluvian/medieval tradition which has now outlived its use by date, so expired, hence the continuation of it usage is causing the whole country a very bad side effect.
In the last 24 years this has always been my worry and after all the 'grammar' that did follow all my investigations I had always expressed my doubt about the sincerety of the prominent Fulbes, especially Muhammadu Buhari to let go nomadism and embrace modernity with all of economic and scientific pastoralism/modern livestock farming.
Food for thought: ‘’Treat the surrendering Biafrans well or risk their children rising’’
- General Philip Effiong, Biafra Second-in-command, 1970
Preamble
Any news-savvy individual not ensconced under the rock, not living in another planet in the last couple of years will attest to the strident publicity, increasing appeal of the Biafra independence movement. In addition to the #BiafraAt50 Anniversary cum a very successful sit-at-home order by Biafra campaigners which took place on May 30, 2017 and completely shut down the entire southeast and parts of the south-south, on Aljazeera, July 5, 2017, Aljazeera’s The Stream featured a programme titled - #Biafra50YearsOn: Is Nigeria's secessionist movement re-emerging? Coincidentally, the British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, also did a broadcast on July 5/6, 2017 titled -Biafra at 50: The war that changed Nigeria. As the global awareness ramps up…the plot thickens and Nigeria increasingly looks like a country on the brink. Similar to his gung-ho military approach to the renewed militancy in the Niger Delta which subsequently petered out through deft diplomacy, President Buhari’s miscalculation, whimsical and ultra vires incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu transformed him into a folk hero with an impressive global cult following. Dyed-in-the-wool proponents of Biafra independence movement proclaim that Biafra is a fait accompli. They affirm that there is a spiritual dimension, a ‘’God factor’’ to the affairs of Biafra. Now to the crux of this discourse.

CABAL: MYTH OR REALITY
DIASPORA NOTE TO THE DOUBTING THOMASES
It is a thing of great lamentation to to read Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Coordinating Acting President (CAP), Oluleke Osinbajo displaying gross naivety and total ignorance, describing the existence of the cabals at the Presidency and by extension, in the entire polity as a myth, so non-existent.
Nigeria's Whistleblowing Policy: Urgent Case For Whistle Blowers Protection Law
Written by DON OKEREKE, SECURITY CONSULTANTIt is certainly a season of mind-boggling cash hauls in Nigeria. Thanks to a Whistle Blower, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, recently unraveled a staggering $43.4 million (about N14 billion) warehoused inside the infamous ‘’Apartment 7B’’ at Osborne Towers, Ikoyi, Lagos. Prior to the #IkoyiGate cash haul, the EFCC also uncovered bundles of naira notes totaling about N450 Million inside ‘Ghana-must-go’ bags at shop LS64 Legico Plaza, Nigerian Air force Camp, Victoria Island, Lagos State. A whopping $9.8 million (about N3 billion) was also recovered from the former Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Mr. Andrew Laah Yakubu, on February 3, 2017; while N250 million was hauled from the popular Balogun Market, also in Lagos. Not forgetting the N49 million cash that was reclaimed by the EFCC at the Kaduna Airport a while ago. The federal government also submits that $151 million (N46 billion) was seized from a fake account in an unnamed commercial bank. All in all the Nigerian government brags that thanks to the whistleblowing policy, at the conservative parallel market rate of N306 to the US dollar, the least value of the humongous cash so far confiscated amounts to N73 billion in the last four months (December 22, 2016 to April 2017). Whistleblowing is undoubtedly the trending buzzword in Nigeria. As a matter of fact, the policy recently led to the discovery of counterfeit and unregistered products worth over N200 million in Ota, Ogun State by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).
