Like Jonathan Like Buhari: A Packaged Lie Sold To Us By APC Ponzi Scheme

Going by the same parameters which we used to conclude that Goodluck Jonathan ran a corrupt government and by extension was a corrupt president, we can now confidently say that President Buhari runs a corrupt government and by extension is a corrupt president. I will explain.

Up till today, those of us who called Goodluck Jonathan a corrupt leader based our allegations not necessarily on his person but on the person and lifestyle of his appointees. We did not appoint his ministers and appointees, he did. So when they (his appointees) become corrupt and he does nothing about it, we simply conclude that the man who appponted them is complicit. Perhaps they are stealing for him and on his behalf. Whatever Dasuki did, Jonathan should be held responsible. That is the standard way to judge elected leaders.

How to fight Corruption’s Fight Back By Pius Adesanmi

By now, it should be visible to the blind and audible to the deaf (apologies to Patrick Obahiagbon) within the Buhari administration that corruption does not intend to limit her war against the anti-corruption war to the mere deployment of the enormous resources at its disposal.

All the guys in the dock have been stealing massively from Nigeria for a very long time so they have limitless financial resources and they are pumping such massively into a well-honed strategy aimed at delegitimizing the anti-corruption war.

Some deploy financial resources in the effort to derail the struggle against corruption while others are more adept at strategizing beyond money. Saraki, for instance, has spared no naira in his massively-funded operations against the anti-corruption war. He has done everything from creating a fake Sahara Reporters to trying to buy every available voice in Nigeria and deploy them in the service of his own counter-narratives.

Iya Kii S’Omi Obe By Pius Adesanmi

“Hello Prof, I apologize for my email intrusion. I am one of your young avid readers and followers in Nigeria and I just wanted you to clarify something I saw recently on your Wall. If you are hosted in what you call “capitalist restaurants” by some of your wealthy friends when you come home, are you not betraying the cause?”

I receive hundreds of messages from self-declared “avid readers and followers” every day. It’s a challenge managing the daily chaos in my Facebook and Gmail inboxes, especially as I can only randomly respond to, maybe, five of such messages per week. On occasion, a message comes in and I decide that it provides an excellent excuse for a public teachable moment, for an extended public rumination on how, where, and why the rain began to beat us as a society. The email I received today from the above “avid reader and follower” is one such occasion. The reader is reacting to my recent Facebook update in which I confessed to being spoilt in posh, capitalist restaurants in the Lekki – Victoria Island axis by my friend, Mrs. Kike Akin-Davies, whenever I’m in Nigeria.
