2000 Baga killings, Don't believe the army- Dr. Awoyemi

-
By Bunmi Awoyemi, Ph.D DON'T BELIEVE THE FLIP-FLOPPING NIGERIAN ARMY SPOKESMAN - BRIGADIER GENERAL OLUKOLADE I saw in the news this morning that the Military spokesman Brigadier General Olukolade denied that 2000 people were slaughtered overnight in Baga, Borno State as reported a week ago by the BBC and CNN based on eye witness reports. Instead he stated that ONLY 150 people actually died. He had to wait for one week to make this denial after his Commander-in-chief released a condolence message within 24 hours of a terror attack in France killing 23 French citizens empathizing with the French President and the French people. His Commander-in-Chief had issued a gag order against media houses threatening to cancel their broadcast licenses if they reported the story. The same Brigadier Olukololade said he had rescued the Chibok girls only for him to retract his fake press release? The same man said the government knows where the girls are being held but 8 months after the government is yet to rescue them? The same man that said that Boko Haram had signed a cease fire deal only for us to discover that the cease-fire deal is fake? What is most disheartening about his actions is his betrayal of his colleague, Brigadier Enitan Ransome-Kuti Dr. Beko Ransome Kuti's son who headed the multinational force that was overrun by Boko Haram due to lack of proper munitions and weapons as well as due to betrayal from his bosses who failed to warn them about the fact that the attackers were on the way which ordinary surveillance flights by unmanned drones could have done despite a N4 trillion budget over the last 4 years. I will take anything Brigadier Olukolade says with a pinch of salt. May the soul of Brigadier General Enitan Ransome-Kuti rest in perfect peace.

5 facts about O TO GE slogan and the collapse of Saraki's dynasty

-
Image
Kwara Must Change 1. Alh. LAK Jimoh was the first politician in modern history of Kwara state to use the O TO GE slogan in a campaign. O TO GE simply means, Enough is Enough.  Alhaji Jimoh first used the slogan in 2011 when he was contesting the Kwara Central Senatorial seat under the People's Democratic Party (PDP). Bukola Saraki eventually won the ticket and went ahead to represent Kwara Central at the Senate.  While the slogan wasn't popular at the time, there's no taking away the fact that Alh LAK Jimoh used it first and could be rightly credited to be the originator. 2. 8 years later, the slogan idea was pitched again in 2018 immediately after the All Progressive Congress primary election in Kwara State. After the APC primary election, Islamic singer, Aminat Obirere produced a song titled o to ge as part of a joint album coordinated by Kwara Must Change to promote the candidature of APC governorship candidate, Alh. Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq. The album itself was titled

Fact emerge, President Jonathan falsified his age

New facts emerging are putting into dispute the official age given by the President of Nigeria on his public service documents. Accounts from the president himself and others who dare to provide information suggest that contrary to his stated age—being born on November 20, 1957; the president was born several, perhaps 10 years earlier and is over 60 years old. President Jonathan said in 2011 while giving his Christmas Carol address: “I remember the day I was chatting with a group of elders and they said after the war there was electricity everywhere, they travelled out and so on. I came to live in Port Harcourt in 1955. Even then, it was only Port Harcourt that had electricity, even the big cities, Bonny. But now, government must make sure even the smallest village and settlements have electricity light.” See story here--> http://www.cp-africa.com/2011/12/17/why-fuel-subsidy-must-go-now-by-president-goodluck-jonathan/ on CP-Africa .

Alliance for New Nigeria has at its special convention and presidential primary  in Abuja on Wednesday expelled its former National Chairman, Dania Emmanuel and former Deputy National  Secretary, Mr. Osita Okonkwo from the party. Dania and Okonkwo were removed and expelled for anti-party activities. Recall that it has been reported that Dania Emmanuel and a former presidential aspirant under the party allegedly received hush money from the All Progressive Congress (APC) to compromise the party and stop Global Business man, Olawepo Hashim.

Igbo is not good to be president of Nigeria?

South East has the least number of States in Nigeria, the least number of Senators, the least number of House of Reps members, least number of State House of Assembly members, least number of Ministers at the federal level, least revenue allocation, least federal presence or Investment, least local governments, least wards and the least of everything in Nigeria. Can we conclude that Igbo worry about nothing except their stomach? Can we assume that an Igbo is not good to be president of Nigeria? Can we conclude that top Igbo Politicians lack strategy, tact and vision to think deep in matters of politics? Can we conclude that we are satisfied with the status-quo ante? Is there hope for Ndigbo in Nigeria’s Political equation? Igbo politics worries me to the marrows! For eight years the former Governor of Anambra state, Mr Peter Obi ruled on the platform of APGA and according to him then, it was either APGA or nothing. To celebrate the late Ikemba Nnewi Chief Emeka Ojukwu,
