Buhari and Conspiracy Theories: Mahmud Jega is Right

I study Northern Nigeria for a living. I am a Lugardian Northerner. I grew up in and schooled in Northern Nigeria. I know that conspiracy theories have a high resonance in the region. I know that implausible and sometimes ridiculous alternative explanations and alternative facts circulate in the region to devastating effect.

Conspiracy theories led to non-Muslim fellow Nigerians being killed in Kano shortly after the beginning of the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. The ignorant interpretation of cosmic and climatic events as recompense for sin by some Muslim clerics led to Christians being attacked in Maiduguri when there was a solar eclipse--years before Boko Haram emerged.

El-Rufai, Hypocrisy, and Executive Incitement

A couple of my interlocutors have written to say that Audu Maikori deserves to face justice for sending out a false tweet. I have no issue with that. There is a new law in Kaduna against incitement and if he is in violation of it and the state's prosecutors feel they can build a case, he should be prosecuted.

But here are the issues that the few--yes, few--El-Rufai worshippers and and those who share his ethno-religious and supremacist inclinations are avoiding and want to deflect by latching onto Maikori, the entertainment entrepreneur having become their convenient escapist scapegoat.

APC-Buhari regime: Social consciousness is building at feverish level

The diversion of the whole discourse to herdman-farmer, Christian-Muslim and North-South dichotomies favours the ruling class and their dying regime, as it distracts attention from the regime’s inability to deliver on its promise of change; same inability- like those of the previous regimes-that is at the root of these sectarian crises.

President Buhari

Cloud is gathering, and people are closing in on the regime. Ferments everywhere: students gradually regaining their lost strength, albeit on individual-campus basis and in spite of the sorry state of their once virile national organization (NANS); workers remained unbowed despite the deafening silence from Wabba-led NLC and other trade union centres; and the middle class are becoming more and more impatient (Tuface's recent call for protest is very instructive).

Many who defended the regime and "laughed at us" when we protested fuel price increase last May are today more militant and physical (than us) in denouncing the packaged deceit which APC-Buhari regime truly is. Most of them are already disillusioned. They could not imagine that under the regime of "change", it would require about N145,000.00 daily to clear sewage in Aso Rock. They seem scandalised by how expensive Buhari's sh*t has now become! Or how else does one defend allocation of billions of Naira to Aso Rock clinic annually (an allocation higher than those of teaching hospitals) and the president jets out at the slightest opportunity to London hospitals? In short, on daily basis, more and more people are realising there is no FUNDAMENTAL difference between APC and the ousted, and terminally ill PDP.

THE HAUSA FULANI INTELLIGENTSIA & SOUTHERN KADUNA

Southern Kaduna is not Kaduna South Senatorial Zone but 11 LGAs where God located diverse ethnic groups South of the Southernmost Hausa City call Zaria. Majority of Southern Kaduna people are Christians.

The Fulanis have tried to no avail to convert these ethnic groups to Islam but couldn't even with the establishment of an Emirate call Jama'a Emirate in Kafanchan to ensure tribe around that area are converted to Islam.

The 2006 censors gave Kaduna State a Population of 6m, the 3rd after Kano and Lagos. When you add and sum up the population of the 11 LGA that made up Southern Kaduna you will get a Population of about 3m people.

Southern Kaduna People are the most educated people in the entire Northwest. Kaduna State is the 4th educationally advantage state in the North after Kwara, Benue, Kogi and definately it's not the Hausa Fulanis that made that possible but Southern Kaduna people.

THE FALLEN CHURCH (The devil's playground)

It amazes me today to see so many Church buildings been built, so many Pastors been called, so many sermons been preached, so many prayers been prayed and yet, people cannot seem to overcome sin and their problems keep increasing every single day, especially people who profess to be Christians... After series of prayers, I asked God, why are all these happening? And that was when He began with me on the journey to "THE FALLEN CHURCH"

He said to me.........

OONI REJOICES WITH CHRISTIANS, CALLS JESUS AN EMBODIMENT OF FORGIVENESS, PEACE AND LOVE

Ooni of Ife
 His Imperial Majesty
 Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi
Ojaja II

The Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has described Jesus Christ as the Lord of peace and love with an unparalleled forgiving spirit who should always be remembered and honoured with the existence of love and peace by the Christians which is the only way harmonious co-existence can be achieved not only within the ranks of his followers but also among the members of the larger global society for whom Jesus lived and died over 2000 years ago.


Ooni Ogunwusi made this admonition on Saturday in his Christmas message through a press statement released by his spokesman Comrade Moses Olafare saying that people of the world must see themselves as one before the God almighty and must treat one another with forgiveness, peace and love as symbolized by Jesus Christ if the world must be a conducive place for everyone to survive.

STIGMATISING PRESIDENT BUHARI By Sola Adeyeye

This rehash of the prominent positions held by Muslims in Nigeria is mischievous and quite unfortunate. It is the typical Nigerian game of chasing needless shadows rather than focusing on the arduous task of nation building.
Until recently, so-called Christians held commanding heights of the economic governance of our Republic. The Presidency, Headship of National Assembly, Secretary of Govt of the Federation, Head of Service, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank, the NNPC, the Stock Exchange etc were headed by so-called Christians. Tragically, they reprobately superintended the profligate looting of our common patrimony. The lone voice of courageous warning belonged to a certified Muslim, Sanusi Lamido, who succeeded Soludo and was hounded for his courage to expose the cult of looters comprising so-called Christians.

Saraki's Remarks at the Public Hearing on the North East Development Commission Bill

It is my pleasure to be here with you today to declare open the public hearing on this very important bill, The North East Development Commission Bill, 2016.

Distinguished colleagues, our invited guests, it is very hard to under-estimate the importance of this bill. This is especially so, in the context of what we as a nation especially the North Eastern part of our country have gone through and endured in the last 7years. The North East has endured unprecedented pervasive brutality, satanic barbarism meted out against them; Christians and Muslims alike, young and old, men and women by the activities of Boko Haram.

For 7 years, innocent citizens of our dear country Nigeria suffered untold destruction of both private and public properties worth billions of naira. In an orgy of un-abating and indiscriminate attacks on the Nigerian state and its circularity, they employed everything destructive to threaten our national security and socio-economic stability; maiming, bombing, attacking every institution that would help us remain a virile and united nation.

Muhammadu Buhari: Cleaning the Augean Stables By Mike Rapu

Augeas, the mythical king of Elis, kept great stables that held 3,000 oxen and had not been cleaned for thirty years – until Hercules was assigned the job. Hercules accomplished this task by causing two rivers to run through the stables. This story depicts two things: the misfortune of inheriting a messed up estate, and the level of creativity and innovation required to clean up the mess. To be clear, here, I refer to the mess President Muhammadu Buhari inherited from 16 wasted years of the Peoples Democratic Party’s hold on the reins of leadership in our dear country.

I write as an independent Nigerian, suffering what every other person is suffering, plying the bad roads every other Nigerian plies and like many other graduates, I spent years searching for a job. I also wish to say here that I am not a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) neither am I a member of Buhari’s administration. 

LOOTING: THE RELIGION OF ACCIDENTAL SENATORS

Nigeria Senate

Since the advent of this democray, the Nigeria National Assembly has been very corrupt and when it comes to looting in Nigeria, there is no difference between political parties or "honest" or dishonest legislators. Simply put, there is no honesty. Furthermore, there is no difference between ethnicity, religion or region. They all have one common purpose: to loot Nigeria at any slight opportunity.

99.9% of Nigerian legislators (whether in the Senate or House of Representatives or State Assemblies; whether they are Christians, Muslims, Traditionalists, Atheists or what have you or whether they are Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Efik, Fulani, Ijaw, Kanuri, Ibibio, Nupe, Tiv, etc) they are very dishonest. The only language they understand or religion they have in common is LOOTING. Some might pretend to be honest, showing outwardly to the people that they are honest and that they are for the people. It's all pretense and what has been happening in the National Assembly since 1999 till date are all the numerious evidences. I can tell you right now, none of them is honest. They are all self-seeking. Once it comes to money, positions, expectations, what will benefit them and their families now or in the future at the expense of the citizens, they will all agree on that very quickly, even the remaining .1% will switch side at the last minute. That is Nigeria.

THE OUTLAWS OF ISLAM - FANI KAYODE

"In the name of God the Great we shall kill, slaughter and drain the blood of every single unbeliever, every apostate and every traitor that supports them until we establish our new world Caliphate. We will wash our hands with the blood of the infidels"- Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, the leader of The Islamic State of Iraq and The Levant (ISIL).

These are the words of a monstrous vampire that desires to swim in an ocean of innocent blood. These are the thoughts and satanic vision of the indisputable leader of the dreaded terrorist movement known as Daesh.

These are the aspirations of a man that rejects the version of Islam that we know, that we respect and that the overwhelming majority of Muslims espouse and practice.

Re: Nigerian Army Accuses Borno Leaders of Plotting to Prolong Boko Haram Insurgency

The army has said that ' some prominent individuals and political groups who hailed from Borno State in particular and North East generally'

I agree that no insurgency can survive this long without local support. Having said that there are many things about BH that don't make sense. They are killing Muslims as well as Christians. They have , largely, been concentrated in the North East. Why would the people of the NE support their own annihilation? Before now,  I could rationalize using it to chase GEJ out of Aso Rock. If that was the goal how come BH killings is not letting off? There is more to BH than meets the eye. This is because, it is rather counter-intuitive for some leaders to unleash killing squads destructive on their own people, just to be collecting security votes and under-developing an entire region of a nation for this length of time in the 21st Century AD. There are different ways to make money; and this type of blood money is rather unthinkable for a traditional and religious society like Nigeria; don't people have a conscience anymore?


But in regard to the military statement, how do you separate "supporters" of Boko Haram from Boko Haram? It is like separating a church from the Laity! The fact is that, in the absence of the laity, there will be no church because the Priest or Bishop alone does not make a church!

Aregbesola Students Vanguard: We will never return to Egypt

One of the most memorable events recorded in the holy bible in the journey of the Isrealites from egypt to the promise land. The story in the book of genesis is not only well known to virtually every Christians and many more who have taken time to read the holy bible but its captivating essence is quite instructive. 

Each verse captures the incontrovertible evidence of God’s power over creation and how it could be used to favour as well as destroy. It also witness God’s wonder performed in pulling the Israelites out of Egypt, including practically dividing the red sea to allow their passage and causing it to swallow the pursuing Egyptian soldiers. Tragedically, Israelites still display faithfulnesses in their God who had performed this great wonders.

This historical bible event can be likely compared nowadays to the Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola led government regime. From the inception of his governance, the people of the state of Osun has witness so many dividends of democracy delivered which can be felt and seen in the nooks and crannies of the state. Apart from the different life changing youth empowerment scheme, educational revival/resuscitation in the state, increase in health delivery, gender/religion equity, there has been a unique massive road construction in the state in which its advantages cannot be overlooked.

Master Jesus and The Last Hour

Master JESUS said He will come at an Hour when He is least expected.This is the very last Hour whereby the world is getting darker and darker each day. The forces of darkness has off late intestified there operations and the LOVE of many Christians is growing Cold.Many people are now ignorant of CHRIST Coming infact they don't even want to hear that Message. The devil and his agents have increased their weapons of mass destruction for humanity i.e weapons such as the Love of Money, Sex, Drugs, Accidents, incureable disease such as Cancer, HIV, Ebola, etc.

It is that Hour when Churches are filled with people looking for Solutions to their problems not the Solution Provider.They Go to Church Not to seek GOD but they need solutions to their problems.These problems have increased because of the increase in wickedness, Sexual Immorality, drunkardness e.t.c infact SIN has so much increased in our generation that even some Christians are now compromising the Truth and Sinning. The main reasons why people are afflicted by the devil is because of SIN. The main reason why many people cry out to GOD and GOD seem Not to Answer is because of SIN. GOD does not Change He is still HOLY and He desires Holiness in our lives for He has made it Clear in his word..Be HOLY for I AM HOLY. Isaiah 1 vs 10-20 and Matthew 6 vs 33.Remember that JESUS CHRIST is the Same Yesterday, Today and Forever, and without Holiness NOONE will See Him. Hebrews 12 vs 14

FASHOLA CONGRATULATES NEW EMIR OF KANO, SANUSI LAMIDO SANUSI

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), has congratulated the newly elected Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, on his ascendance of the exalted position.

The Governor wished the former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor long and fruitful reign as he assumed office as the 57th Emir and hoped that his emergence would further cement the long standing bond between the people of Kano and their brothers and sisters in Lagos and across the country with whom, he said, they have been living in peace and harmonious relationship.


Fashola noted that the election was a deserving feat for the former CBN helmsman who has endeared himself to the Nigerian public for his brilliance, courage, professionalism and tact, saying his tenure as CBN boss was very eventful and quite useful to moving the country forward.
