How To Make Nigeria Work by Dr Muiz Banire.

  There is no doubt that the country is in a quagmire, putting it mildly, as some contenders believe that the country has even failed. As debatable as this could be, the truth remains that all certainly is not well with our nation. Is it the economic eclipse, prevalent and high level of insecurity, collapsing infrastructure, soaring state of unemployment and underemployment, health care that is virtually comatose, vanishing quality education, galloping and excruciating inflation with virtually valueless currency, progressive and ‘fantastic’ corruption impairing service delivery in all ramifications, continuous challenge to the rule of law precipitating anarchy already, grave level of policy incoherence and summersault, disturbing level of poor leadership engendering bad governance, moral and ethical decadence, political misdirection, etc? The list is endless and I can continue to multiply same. The afflictions are just too many to catalogue but suffice to simply and courteously state t

“I’m Not At War With You” ~ Igboho writes Buhari

Image
  Frontline Oodua Nation activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Igboho has sent a goodwill message to Nigeria’s regime leader, Rtd. Major General Mohammadu Buhari explaining the circumstances that led to his seperatist movement. Igboho in a message released by his lawyer said attack on his people in Ibarapa area where Fulani herdsmen wreaked havoc on the people and the Nigerian security agents could not secure the people’s lives and properties pushed him to take a measure that seemed to be on collision course with Gen. Buhari. About 5 months ago, Chief Adeyemo was apprehended in Benin Republic in his attempt to travel to Germany. Full Message: “Let it be abundantly clear that I am not at war with President Buhari, State Governors or anybody in government. What I want the government to do is address the genesis of my agitation for a Yoruba Nation. The genesis is the insecurity in Ibarapaland and other places in the South-West where farmers are habitually maimed, hacked to dea

Tinubu Advised to Jettison Ambition

  “Bola Tinubu should not bother to contest this coming presidential election because he is symptomatic of an extensive political illness transmitted from Mohammadu Buhari, a political robot who is bereft of the slightest tinge of ideas on how to run a country.”         ~Kola Olaniran~

Rèmí Oyèyemí: Oonirisa, to be divorced by a woman?

Image
“Our Kings in Yorùbá land were and still are not made for hypocritical, sanctimonious, pharisaical and duplicitous Caucasoid philosophy of “one man, one woman.” Any woman who comes into any palace in Yorùbá land expecting to marinate in this dubious European marital concept is unfit, ill-equipped, out of place, and unsuitable.” ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ “To be candid, Ooni Ogunwusi has not managed the situation well either. Why is he making the Oloris public? They are not to be seen or heard, and they are to remain permanently behind the scenes, behind the curtains, shielded, shrouded and cocooned from “public eyes.” He set himself up for this kind of embarrassment by giving them the clout they do not have and obviously, do not deserve. Does he consider himself a Governor with a First Lady? He has allowed himself to be used by these unscrupulous Jezebels who came to cultivate an image of royalty when they are dregs, only to embarrass him after getting what they want. This is why some of us shout out t

 Wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Ogunwusi Adeyeye, Queen Naomi has announced her divorce from the monarch.  Citing irreconcilable differences, Queen Naomi took to her social media (IG) page to issue her state.  In her allegation of hypocrisy, she says that the Ooni's public perception is different from his true character. “Today I announce the beginning of a new dawn and the close of a chapter. Today, I am a mother to God’s unique gift. I am no longer a slave to my thoughts of perfection. I, at this moment, announce that I shall no longer be referred to as wife to the Ooni of Ife or as Queen of Ile-Ife but as the Queen of the people and mother of my adorable Prince.” *Her Full Statement*: “I bless the Lord almighty for His faithfulness in the last 3 years of my marriage. In life’s journey, it isn’t how far. Still, how well, indeed though satan should buffet if trials should come, I have this blessed assurance controlling all situations and saying to me it is well with my soul. Certain
