Buhari Has Started Showing his True Color, four Months into His Second Term

I have never subscribed to politics of ethnicity, but I am not precluded from commenting when it is becoming obvious that a section of Nigeria is beginning to act against democratic norms.

Nigerians of southern descent who in spite of all pointers, went ahead and supported Buhari for a second term, I think the reality is staring you in the face now - it is just four months into Buhari's second term and we are seeing a different Buhari that looks like Buhari of 1983. Buhari and his Fulani cronies have started playing their cards one by one - When Nnamdi Kanu (never supported his views) was being molested and his supporters killed during Buhari's first term, many in the SW called Kanu names, now Sowore is arrested and Osinbajo is being reduced to a figurehead after using him to give Buhari credibility (before Christians and South-West people) to win 2015 and 2019 elections. Osinbajo almost lost his life, and we are not sure if the Helicopter accident was man-made or fate. They are not done, they are going back to their original plan of ensuring power remains in the North perpetually - they have never hidden this ambition, now they have the rein of power they have started implementing their plans. You know if the economy is good, and ordinary Nigerians are able to fend for themselves without handout of Trademoni, and all the other nonsense initiatives, maybe nobody will bother. Things are worse than before Buhari and it will not get better, not with the current group of people leading Nigeria.

We were warned in 2015 - we went ahead and supported Buhari to power; in 2018-19, some of us became wise when after four years in power, the situation had worsened and there was no sign that they will get better. Buhari's government failed every test of governance, and could not deliver on any of the promises they made in 2015. We warned against Buhari's return and that he will show his true color if allowed a second term, and he is showing us in the true sense.

The arrest of Sowore, his incarceration for 45 days is nothing but intimidation of the opposition, the charges made today are nothing but frivolous and an indication of a government desperate to hold on to power. What did Sowore say that carried weight of destabilization compared to what the spokesperson of Miyati Allah said in the wake of opposition to RUGA? If Buhari's government is doing right, and they are truly serving the people, they should not be afraid of protest against their government. They talk about inciting the people against the president - this is a term that is none existence under a democratic rule - the president is an ordinary Nigerian like anybody. The Nigerian constitution gives Nigerians the right to peacefully protest, Nigerians have the right to force a government out of office without an election - the way an elected officer can be recalled, a president can be forced to vacate his position by protest if he is found to be grossly incompetent.

Nigeria is gradually slipping into a dictatorship and the very foundation of the country is being weakened. We all know what happens to a house with a weak foundation, it collapses.

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...

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...
