NIGERIANS - There are alternatives in 2019 - PART 4

Atiku is allegedly a thief, right? I do not dispute it because he is guilty as charged in the court of public opinion - when a man cannot explain the source of his wealth and he is a trillionaire in naira (billionaire in dollars), what do you call him?

What of APC and their lead progenitor, Asiwaju Tinubu? They are all saints?

Court case records are always free for public consumption in the West, including the US. That is why it is difficult for any Nigerian who have had a criminal court case/record in a country like the US to lie about it. We have made many of them Kings, Princesses, and Princes. We have handed over the key to the treasury of our commonwealth to them. Here is the URL to the criminal court case against Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 1993 - he was charged on profiting from proceeds of drug trafficking:

Tinubu has tricked many - here is the record of the criminal court case against him in the US - Illinois Northern Court District from July 26, 1993, where the US Federal government seized a sum $460,000 from him and one Alhaji Mogati because the money was deemed a proceed of criminal activity. Just like some other Nigerians in the US and Canada, he did not serve any jail term because he agreed to forfeit all the money in his bank accounts when he was caught. If you look at the website, it is a secure website with "s" at the end of HTTP. I know some may say it is fake - no it is not.

This is another evidence that many of the current crops of leaders in the country should be shunned in the 2019 election. Let us give people we know their record a chance, people who have a proven record of achievement and have made their money the right way before our eyes by working hard. The likes of Oby Ezekwesili; Moghalu; Durotoye, etc.

Do we see that Tinubu is not different from Atiku? Tinubu is the FACE of APC, he leads the presidential campaign today. Tinubu understood our politics, and he has taken advantage of us. He made money illegally in the US - he bought his way into the hearts of Yoruba leaders then - Afenifere (Bola Ige, Adesanya and co.). He was not alone - the like of Omisore did the same thing, only that Omisore used his connection during the military era to make his own money - Omisore could not buy Osun governorship position but the deputy, that is the genesis of his problem because he could not recoup his investment and he was impatient. Tinubu on the hand outspent any potential candidate for Lagos governorship seat - he was sold the Lagos governorship because of the money he gave (money spent on ensuring AD wins in the SW at least) the leaders of SW - he has since profited from Lagos since 1999 - he has recouped his investment many times over and he is recouping it with his hold on Lagos state - he has planted his family members into every strategic position (his wife is a senator, his daughter is the head of Lagos markets) and it will take the collective effort of Lagosians to outsmart him by voting the opposition at the polls in 2019.

The tactics of Tinubu is not different from any other politician who used his/her position to enrich him/herself. In his own case, he probably did not steal directly. He controlled every juicy contract that was awarded in Lagos state - he still does until Ambode curbed him, now Ambode is a goner. These contracts are awarded to him through companies that he used his family members or cronies to front. Now we know that the company that is collecting IGR in Lagos is owned by Tinubu - that company has been collecting IGR in Lagos since when Tinubu was in government. How can it be? It is unconstitutional, even in Nigeria to do so. Tinubu is like those small rats (mice) that sometimes feeds on your leg when you are asleep and breathe cold air on it so that you will not feel that you are being fed on.  Tinubu has been feeding on Lagos and Lagosians, now the whole of South West, except Ondo. Like a mouse that blows cold air, Tinubu did a lot of good projects in Lagos but he usurped his position to award juicy contracts to himself directly or indirectly. The current governor of Oyo and Osun State, Ajimobi and Aregbe are doing the same thing. They have profited from a lot of contracts awarded during their time - they leave the crumbs (small ones) to their cronies but the juicy ones are awarded to their companies who they use members of their families to front as owners. If you are in doubt, read the article written by Dapo Lam Adesina, the son of former governor of Oyo state - Lam Adesina.

These people are so rich that they will control the affairs of our welfare for decades except we emancipate ourselves from them. They will control who becomes governor, the commissioner or local government. Tinubu controls all APC positions in Lagos state - that was the genesis of his problem with Fashola and later Ambode.

A lot of Nigerians blindly follow Tinubu, Atiku, even OBJ, Buhari, etc, without critically considering these folks antecedents. Do they really love us or their pockets and ambition? We celebrate people who have criminal records who would never smell the seat of power where there are law and order. We have a great opportunity in 2019 to re-write our history and put those who have a clean record in power. Let us collectively defeat the likes of Sanwo-olu,  Buhari, Atiku, Ajimobi, Saraki, David Mark, Ganduje, Ubah, Okorocha, Tambuwal, etc.

Wannabee Prime Minister that is Denigrating her Native Country... for What?

Omo ale lo maa hun fi owo osi j'uwe ile baba eh - it is a BASTARD child that uses the left hand to describe her father's house.... We should speak honestly about our country, but when you hold a position like Kemi does decorum is essential. She could say the same thing in a way that will not impact the lives of ordinary Nigerians who live and make a honest living across the globe. She is an opposition leader for crying out loud... She is dragging her native country deep into the mud to gain cheap popularity.... She will need the votes of Nigerians if she will ever be Prime Minister one day. Every letter of her words will come back to hunt her... I trust Nigerians in the UK will not only mobilize against her, but they will also mobilize other Africans and Carribeans to shun her...

THERE IS A SHORT WINDOW FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, CONCERNED PARTIES SHOULD GRAB IT WITH BOTH HANDS

Exactly a year today, the terror organization Hamas struck terror in the hearts of Israelis. Over 1200, mostly innocent people were murdered in cold blood in the most barbaric way. The evil wrecked by Hamas reminds us of the evil we are capable of as humans if we think there will not be any form of accountability. The attack is condemned in all of its forms. Such should never happen again. My heart goes out to families mourning dead family members, and those still waiting for their families taken hostage to return to them alive.   Since then, the Israeli army has unleashed terror of their own on Hamas, in the process killing so many innocent Palestinians in an attempt to exterminate Hamas, and their own terror continues, mostly on innocent Palestinians. Israel engaged in what some called genocide by cutting off water, food, power, internet, and major resources to over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza. The world has condemned the way Israel is prosecuting the war because they have bee...
