5 Questions For Nigerians As Kanu And Adeyemo Stand Trial

As two prominent ethnic freedom fighters are being oppressed by the Buhari Junta 2.0, I call for soul-searching among Nigerians. If not, we may well be heading for a cliff in our national life. Really, it's no longer just about Kanu and Igboho. 

Here are some questions I want us to start with:

1. What's the crime in telling you not to kill me? 
I ask this question because that's basically the crime that Kanu and Adeyemo are being charged for. Each of them are basically incriminated for saying "Let the Fulani stop killing our people". 

I know that some people would claim that Kanu's ESN has recorded cases of violence instigated by Kanu. But, why is no one talking about the provocation that pushed them to do that? Even statutory laws recognize the role of provocation in the acts and actions of legal entities. Or, have we forgotten Emene, Nkpor, Afaraukwu, and other massacres meted out to IPOB that provoked the group? Why has no one been held responsible for any of those massacres of unarmed young people? And, why is someone being held responsible for getting provoked by them? 

And, if ESN's history of violence is the reason for persecuting Kanu, what's the reason for persecuting Adeyemo?

2. Why are the people saying "stop killing us" getting arrested but the people they are complaining against are never arrested or prosecuted? Here is a government that has the capacity to sponsor an operation to kidnap a freedom fighter from a foreign country. But, how come this same government seems to be helpless against killer herders? Doesn't this clearly prove that Muhammadu Buhari is actively behind his killer kins to keep killing those who elected him President? 

3. Why is Buhari destroying the democracy that made him the President and nobody is protesting? Is it fair to break a bridge that helped you to cross to your destination?

4. What else could Muhammadu Buhari do as Nigeria's President before he deserves to be impeached? Say, do we really have democracy in Nigeria now? Can someone tell me what else Buhari could do as a President before the legislative arm of the government considers impeaching him? Here is a President who is obviously and actively and serially murdering the citizens that supposedly voted him as the President. 

So, what other presidential crime could be worse than denying your citizens their right to life and persecuting those who dare to resist you? So, what other weightier crime could Muhammadu Buhari commit against the Nigerian citizenry before the legislature even considers showing him the door?

5. Otherwise, where is the democracy we claim to have in this country?

Why Is Buhari So Desperate To Start A War or Foist A State of Emergency On The South-East?

 I was a child of 5 or so when Muhammadu Buhari first held sway as the Head of State. As young as I was, I knew that things weren't normal. I knew my first bite of hunger during the Buhari Military Admin. Then, I heard adults saying 'austerity measure' again and again. I knew there was some kind of connection between the hunger that I was experiencing, the austerity measure of a thing, and someone called Buhari. But then, that's about the only thing I could understand. I really came to understand a bit of who's the real Buhari in this his second coming. I tell you, I never really believed in the existence of the Devil until this so-called Buhari 'Civilian' Government came on board. I could never have been able to imagine such a level of cruelty. Why is this man so bereft of every humanity? From the very first day of this administration, it was clear he was consciously out to create serious problems that border on war. The way Buhari has consistently supporte...

MY EXPERIENCE AT THE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY TODAY

Fellow Nigerians, I have to be honest with you: I'm on the verge of giving up on this country. But when I remember that real human lives are at stake here, I cannot but continue pushing. My experience at the House of Assembly complex in Nkaliki, Abakaliki today has really filled me with a lot of despair. I got there around 9 a.m. only to discover that the gate was locked and everywhere was deserted. So, I decided to ask around why it was so. Someone directed me to read the notice placed at the gate. It was then I discovered that the entire legislative arm of this country has been on strike for about 6 weeks and nobody is talking about it. The notice at the gate dated March 21 2021 stated that all the staff members of the National Assembly, the Legislative Service Commission, and the houses of assembly of the 36 states of Nigeria were to continue with their strike - and yet, no one has been talking about it!  Tell me how a country that calls itself a democracy has remained without t...

Celebrating TB Joshua And Prophesying On His Behalf

TB Jọshụa is late and going to his grave Haa hii, going to his grave.  Could he rise again on Monday and preach again on Sunday?  Haa hii, preach again on Sunday.  So, it's true everyone will die as Joshua has died!  Yes, yes, even Jesus Christ died. Let Jubhari be warned cos his own is too small Hmmm hmmm, his own is too small. His thoughtless act on Twitter now is closing the noose around his neck,  Baa waa, closing the 'news' around his neck. Let him learn from his COAS if he's got half a brain,  Well, well, got half a brain. Will he be remembered for leading or remembered for killing?  Soon, soonest, remembered for killing He's not stronger than Gadaffi or even Abacha,  Think, think, even Abacha The nations are watching as people are dying,  Stop, stop, people are dying.
