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.

This is Cacophony at Best...

MAGA destroyed DEI but they want to implement DEI at Harvard... They claim the school is not diverse enough. They have too many liberals, so they need to hire more conservative, whether they meet the hiring requirement or survive the rigor of delivering excellence at Harvard or not. This is what they claim DEI is all about - hiring people based on race, they claim, but they have no issue telling Harvard to hire based on political ideology.... You read the same thing about BLM and Antisemitism. They say BLM reflects poorly on the history of America... Critical race theory is false history... slaves loved being in captivity, they loved their masters and served willingly... there is no more discrimination based on the color of your skin in America - but all the metrics point in the opposite direction... Jewish Lives Matter; Black Lives Matter, and Palestinian Lives Matter... All Lives Matter. A terrorist life should not be equal to 20 innocent Palestinian life... It is okay to forget abou...

Until Ordinary Nigerians Seize the Power that Belongs to them, There Will Not Be Progress in That Country

  Until Ordinary Nigerians Seize the Power that Belongs to them, There Will Not Be Progress in That Country When I see the shameful drama unfolding in the Senate in Nigeria, I see impunity. When those who are supposedly elected into political offices are abusing the power they hold in trust for the rest of us in daylight, then you know they have no fear of the electorate... The Senate President in Nigeria, Akpabio, forced a motion that obviously failed, down the throat of his colleagues... The motion was to humiliate Senator Natasha and force her to apologize for daring to accuse Akpabio of alleged sexual harassment before she is re-admitted to the senate after serving the unlawful six-month suspension imposed on her. What saddens me the most are the fellow female senators who have either kept quiet or have reprimanded Senator Natasha for speaking out, including the wife of the president, Remi Tinubu, who faced many sexist comments and threats when she was a senator. Remi Tinubu wa...
