SERIES: POLITICS WITHOUT BITTERNESS
Since July 13, 2020 when the 11th espousal on the current Nigerian tragedy, particularly the grave threat to national security, the looming famine beyond Biblical proportion, population explosion, intractable flooding, plight of the IDPs, the tragedy that is the children of Allah (the Almajirai), rape, youth violence, the danger of having kingdoms in kingdoms, two countries in one – Sharia North and Non-Sharia South, terrorism, etc, JOHN ODEY ADUMA has been hibernating and incubating for ideas at his incubation/philosophical laboratory, and the result of that withdrawal from the crowd in search of the deeper things and meanings of life is what will be cascading from his intellectual Niagara Falls, and you would do well to enmesh/soak/saturate yourself in the falls.
And worried by the current state of reportage in the nations of the world, particularly in Nigeria, totally lacking in depth and investigation coupled with the usual resort and retreat to kinship or clannish journalism, the non-existent anonymous “authoritative source/s”, Aduma, whilst at the Daily Times of Nigeria Plc as its Editorial Board Chairman, had had to intervene to refocus the dumbing down of professionalism by propounding Theory of Critical Journalism he had then called Pyramidal or Tripodal or Triangular Criticism or Analysis, and in this series, you are going to read his latest media theories – The John Aduma Newsroom Boxes, the Dodecagonium; including political theories such as OMU, Nigerianistic Equality for the self-same reason, aimed at journalistic excellence and international best practice and in the furtherance of his vision of Nigerianism, Nigeriatopia and Nigerian exceptionalism.
You are, therefore, welcome to read, drink, soak yourself therein, debate, dissect and analyse, chew it, swallow it up, and become wiser and reflective, but you are not to plagiarise, copy and paste to claim its ownership, nor regurgitate it, but give credit to the author if you must make reference, quote from it or you are fascinated by any word, phrase/s or idea.
A very strong warning must here go forth to all Media Assistants/Press Secretaries and speech writers to/for former Heads of State, Presidents, Governors and such other top level execs, both in the public and private sectors, that they are not permitted to lift ideas here or template or rehash or actually plagiarise the works/articles/essays by this writer and give to their Principals to make public statements with as if these ideas were original and authentic to their Principals, thus, making the press in Nigeria commit the grave error of attributing the author’s works to their Principals. It hoped that a word will be enough for the wise.
As a teenager at Aladura Comprehensive High School, Anthony Village, Lagos, the age that the GIBB have chosen to join cultism and youth gang, it was Aduma’s dream to propound theories, be the most quoted intellectual on the planet earth and the greatest theorist and philosopher ever. And regarding that boyish dream, he is today widely quoted in academic journals and scholarly theses across the globe.
No doubt, you are already salivating and don’t want any further ‘traffic’ from the author on your way to his fountain of wisdom and knowledge, but before you are set loose, Mr Aduma ‘d like to ask you these questions: what is your dream?
Just what are your life’s dreams and goals? Happy reading!

REVEREND GIRAFFE’S SERMON ON MOUNT IKEJA: A STUDY IN SARCASM AND AMBIVALENCE
Whose son is the Jagaban?
The Giraffe of Ikeja lured the barawo Iragbiji to his den at N0. 16th Street with a promise of having the Lord’s supper with him, but turn round to shoot him to death with his shakabula (dane gun)…the story of a Super Public Relations Officer (SPRO) no politician must ever hire. But whoever stole the word CONCENTRATE from the Giraffe’s dictionary.
TASK 2023 FOR STUDENTS OF MAGOMAGO POLITICS WORLDWIDE
"Cowards die many times before their deaths…."
- William Shakespeare in Julius Caesar.
Now critically examine and react to the sermon delivered by a political pastor often notoriously referred to as the REVEREND GIRAFFE OF IKEJA because of his inability to concentrate on his calling as a priest of the Pentecostal mould, and would usually have his one leg on the pulpit in the vineyard and another on the podium at political rallies/conferences/summits and was at a time always running to meet his friend, much hated by the general public at THE RUGA CASTLE in the city of Locusts and Vultures - Ajabu, Magomago Republic.
In your analysis which must be very detailed and merit publication in the BOOK OF CROOKS being planned to debut in 2023, honestly attempt to answer the following questions:
- Did he do justice to the sermon as a piece of literary discourse, especially regarding what he set out to achieve?
- How successful was the Giraffe in his characterization of the protagonist of the sermon?
- What are the inherent literary techniques/skills/aesthetics deployed by Reverend Giraffe?
- Attempt a psychoanalytical examination of both the sermoniser and the protagonist of the sermon. For example: can any hidden agenda or are there any that can be deduced from the sermon?
- Also, in a thorough dissection of the discourse, endeavour to relate your analysis very succinctly and poignantly to the expression: “Ornithological specimen of identical plumage invariably conglomerate to the nearest proximity.”
- Please be made awiah (aware) that you are not duty bound or obliged or obligated to follow the guideline above as creativity, clear and precise thinking, originality, innovations, and inventiveness will attract extra marks.
2023: THE CAESAR OF LAGOS, NATIONAL UNITY, INTEGRATION, COHESION, INTEGRITY AND THE IRAGBIJINIZATION OF LAGOS
“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.”
- 1st Corinthians 10:12.
Of Iya Oloja, Baba Oloja, Tinubupoly, Hereditary Privilege, National Consciousness, Justice, Fair Play, and Universal Altruism:
More than anyone in that country BAT, his wife Remi Tinubu and his COME CHOP DISCIPLES or rather political errand boys or political egrets such as Raji Fashola, Akinwunmi Ambode, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, including of course, Rilwan Akiolu, the Oba of Lagos have worked against the nation’s experiment in national unity, integration and cohesion, for the period of their Iragbijinization and ‘colonization’ of Lagos not only witness vicious verbal and violent attacks directed at Ndigbo, their properties and businesses, but actual repatriation of some Ndigbo back to their ‘country’ – the South East.
Till date, the Pharaoh of Bourdillon remains the post divisive political figure on the planet earth, professing, encouraging, and promoting the crudest or worst form of Machiavellianism – Jagabanism and whilst the traditional Machiavellianism thrives on the dictum: the end justifies the means, Jagabanism is driven/propelled by the obverse dictum – THE MEANS JUSTIFIES THE END!
This anti-Nigerian unity, integration and cohesion has received further boost from the now generally accepted, but Yoruba poster boy – OPC X, who normally would waste no further time to climb to the rooftop of NECOM House, asking other Nigerians to leave “Yoruba land”, ignorant of the fact that in a federation such as Nigeria, all lands had been federated to form the Union – the United States of Nigeria or (USN) or the Federal Republic of Nigeria, hence every citizen of Nigeria has the right, to particularly as an entrenched provision in the nation’s constitution domicile, work and do business wherever they like in the Nigerian Federation.
Therefore, all Nigerians are citizens and not, cannot and should not ignominiously be referred to as “settlers”, “aliens”, “alejo” (“strangers”), “foreigners”, whilst the so-called indigenes are seen and referred to as “awon omo nile” (Yoruba, for owners of the land) or “hosts”.
This being the case therefore, such frequent calls or quit notices, emanating from the so-called “Yoruba land” and elsewhere must henceforth become a crime against the Nigerian state and an arrestable offence, and such callers/issuers of quit notices to fellow Nigerians, if prosecuted and found guilty should be given a minimum of 7 and a maximum of 14 years jail sentences to serve as a deterrent to other such bigots and tribalists and agent provocateurs.
But who wants a tribal bigot as President of a multitude of nations like Nigeria?
Also, who wants a President that in less than 24 hours would boast of being richer than Nigeria; in 48 hours boast of being richer than the whole of African countries, and in a week of being sworn in, boast he is richer than the whole wide world, especially when he cannot provide proofs of hard work, hence earning such stupendous and obscene wealth legally?
BAT, a supposedly national LEADER of a supposedly national party (ALL POLITICALLY CORRUPT – APC or ALL POVERTY CONTINUE, APC; APC - ALL PROGRESS CANCELLED; APC – APATHY PROMOTES CONFUSION), but without himself having a national appeal, gravitas, character and spread, is also, the NATIONAL CARETAKER OF THAT HOUSE OF FUGITIVES (a.k.a. APC).
So, what’s the big deal about being a local champion, dominating only one’s section of the country or just a GEOPOLIZONE/SUB-NATIONAL POLITY and be given the big name of a ‘national’ party ‘leader’. A big name can kill a puppy, huh?
Judas of Iragbiji, a man of no ‘fixed party address’, who has been thoroughly reduced by the Nigeria’s political predator, and the savage wolves to a mere political janitor at GIDA USMANU DAN FODIYO, goaded by the clannish press in his POLIGEOZONE has been parading himself as a notable political strategist of unrivalled/unparalleled/unequalled sagacity, but who are his international friends and Nigerian friends outside his GEOPOLIZONE?
What influence does he have beyond Lagos state; for moving out of his Area Father political comfort zone, he is usually met with fierce competition and challenges/unhealthy rivalries by other Southwest stakeholders. Did not the Great Ewuare II in 2020 chase him and his Agbero Political Frontier Force (APFF) out the Benin Kingdom, whereupon this fake warrior was ‘seen’ running with his tail in between his legs like a very frightful SKIDDO, when he decided very foolishly to ‘invade’ Edo State Jagabanistically with the sole aim of territorial expansion, hoping to use Osagie Ize-Iyamu to colonise the Edoites?
How can a man without respect for tradition and culture promote same to the rest of the world, for does BAT in his delusion of grandeur not see himself as the super/supra monarch of Yoruba land – OBA GI GA YOR’BA – a sort of OBA AWON OBA?
Did this now ‘Musa’ Ahmed Tinubu (MAT – foot ‘mat’ indeed for his Fulani colonial masters) not ‘trade’ Asiwaju - PROGRESSIVISM for ki ni nko – JAGABANISM – a sort of antediluvian and medievalist ideology whose goal is violence-blood-ethnic cleansing for purpose of grabbing the ancestral lands of the “pagan” Southerners and Nokbekwarans, and in some cases, capturing, seizing and raping their wives for purpose of population dilution – POPULATION JIHAD as in Ilorin and as has been the fate of all Hausas, all North Africa and the Middle East!
But a Reubenian voice ringing across the vista of time warns every APC – the Governing Party promoting jihad, banditry, rape, ethnic cleansing and encouraging the ravaging wolves – those predators in uniform which the press in Nigeria are yet to unravel – the so-called unidentified/unknown gun men; every Buhari, Buhariocrat, Jagabanite, killer Fulani shepherds, the ever blood-thirsty Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria – Miyetti Wahala (MACBAN) and Miyetti Allah Kotaul Hore – Miyetti Okoto-Hoho/Miyetti Katakata (MAKH) and all the backer-financiers of the ravaging/prowling vampires thus: “…Don’t shed blood…(Genesis 37:22), “….Now comes the reckoning for his (their – addition here, mine) blood.”, (Genesis 42:22).
Etched on the mind’s eye of this self-appointed godfather of Yoruba politics is the inscription: “I DON’T GIVE A DAMN, IF THE WHOLE YORUBA, INDEED, THE WHOLE NIGERIAN PEOPLE ARE KILLED IN SO FAR AS I ACHIEVE MY AMBITION OF BECOMING THE PRESIDENT OF THE GEOGRAPHICAL EXPRESSION CALLED NIGERIA.”
And all with spiritual insight into the IMMINENT TRAGEDY can already discern afar that a BAT Presidency will not only cause image problem for Nigeria in the committee of nations, but spell doom for all of Nigeria and spark intractable upheaval of incalculable proportion, realising that by 2023 Ndigbo would not have ruled Nigeria for 57 years!
Were BAT/‘MAT’ to whom MONEY IS THE MEASURE OF ALL VALUES conscious of national sensitivity, national unity, ONE NIGERIA, integration and national cohesion, he and his wife and all his political agberos/political cattle egrets, ex-and serving Governors included, would not have been promoting and perpetuating DIVIDE AND RULE POLITICS (DARP), political agberoism (gangsterism), political almajrism, BOLEKAJA POLITICS, AGBEGILODO POLITICS, GODFATHERISM, MORE BLESSINGS, SIR, POLITICS, MOTOR PARK POLITICS, OWAMBE POLITICS with the sole aim: DESTROY THIS TEMPLE if the AGREEMENT is not honoured or adhered to, and the subsequent OWAMBENIZATION AND BULLION-VANIZATION OF THE ENTIRE NIGERIAN POLITICS.
Why does BOLA AHMED TINUBU (BAT) so hate ONE NIGERIA with unquenchable hatred?
If no Nigerian living cares about his ungovernable hatred/loath for ONE NIGERIA, posterity would like to have an answer from BAT!
What international connections and influences can he boast of? Here’s an arch-tribalist with zero international connections, principles and integrity, yet desiring to lead a multi-diverse Federation like Nigeria, the most complex for that matter on the planet earth?
Is he a philosopher, moralist, and a sportsman or just a man with an unrivalled acquisitive hubris and ego?
Is BAT a humble man?
And how can a man who boasted he was richer than Osun State, in whose house Bullion vans were driven to, thinks he does not owe anyone or the nation any explanation? No matter how very strenuously he tries, his political dementia will never allow him to ever
remember at any point his journey from Iragbiji to Lagos, yet he was that vagrant whose palm kernel was cracked for him by a benevolent spirit – then, can such a political Area Boy/Almajiri be said to be a humble man, but an unparalleled swashbuckler?
Link: (I Said I Was Richer Than Osun State, Tinubu Admits - The Premier News). Accessed: 04/08/2021.
Does he like a Maria Sokenu seek to advance the cause of the less privileged, particularly the Area Boys, or does he always seek to exploit them and embolden them to be more devious and violent such that they not only go on rampage burning stalls/market, shops, properties, maiming, killing and destroying things all over the place, including snatching ballot boxes?
Is Bola Ahmed Tinubu a Muslim or Christian, and to which of these two faiths is he committed – in another word, which of the two does he deceive himself that he professes, can it be recorded for him that he is a true Muslim or a true Christian?
Why does he not often speak against the ills of society – and how can a man who is so intensely consumed by his overweening/selfish ambition to rule Nigeria choose to be crassly insensitive in the face of the nation’s socio-political malaise, but for his ambition and ambition alone, and Bola and Bola alone?
But what principles/philosophy does greedy BAT hold onto or believe in and what are his philosophical thoughts?
Does BAT read books or is he only interested in FILTHY LUCRES - if “yes”, what book/s is he reading right now?
Is he an intellectual or just an OWAMBE and MOTOR PARK POLITICIAN, playing ma nu e paplex (I will beat you hand down), bolekaja, agbegilodo, underbridge, area boy politics?
Has BAT ever had any article published in a Nigerian newspaper, magazine, in journals, both at home and internationally? So, when was his last article or most recent article published and on what subject or field of human endeavour?
How many books has he authored?
Is GREEDY BOLA a cowocrat/Fulanist/Rugaite or an Awoist or a Gandhian or a Buhariocrat or simply a Jagabanite or Tinubuist or Bullion-vanite?
Can greedy Bola who always goes to his political stooges he has helped to plant and knocks at their doors and asks them: KILE JE KU (?) now face all Lagosians, the nation, the world and all humanity and tell them how he came about his stupendous material bonanza?
On coming to power at the centre, God forbids, how many minutes will it take him to by EXECUTIVE ORDER plant his children and cronies/thugs/touts/Agberos as Iya Oloja and Baba Oloja in all the Nigerian markets?
If he became President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, his wife would succeed him as the next President; followed by their children – one after the other, and thereafter, their grandchildren – THE TINUBU POLITICAL DYNASTY just as the TINUBU MARKET/TRADING/COMMERCIAL DYNASTY!
What does he know about all the killings in Lagos since his inglorious and ignominious political career?
Is BAT a sober person or an OWAMBE person?
INTERLUDE
Again, what books does he read, and which one is he reading now, and who are his favourite authors? Has not his arrival on the political scenes of the Yoruba politics along with his motor park disciples lowered the standards of discourses and intellectual enterprises in the Yoruba/SW sub-national polity – in socio-politico-econo-cultural debates and in contributions to national discourses such that the OPC X’s, Oluomo’s of this world and that Yoruba runaway messiah, Igboho X are the ones the OWAMBE PRESS do now interview on serious regional and national concerns as experts, and invite to deliver public lectures by university students and others – yet they complain of their papers not selling and subsequently unable to pay salaries? So why would anyone who has use for their money spend their dimes on mere NEWSLETTERS that now pass for serious newspapers and magazines in Nigeria for the publication of the press releases issued for kobo-kobo by Afenifere, Ohaneze Ndigbo, NEF, PANDEF, MBF, and by tribal/regional militants, secessionists and other individuals on ego trips, looking for 15-minuests fame, also for the self-same amount – kobo-kobo - received by journalists in Nigeria to publish this garbage, whilst the field of INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM lies fallow!
What is more embarrassing, why would anyone in their right mind buy newspapers in Nigeria to read when throughout 24/7, their news/commentary/interview sources on all subjects under the sun, moon and stars are the same age-long, one and toro gang of the CAPTIVE AUDIENCE comprising Wole Soyinka, OPC X, Femi Falana, MC Oluomo, Igboho X, IPOB X, Mike Ozekhome, BABAs (Bread and Butter Activists), the three parrots in the Presidency, the idle canary and weaver bird who in their delusion must be in the news 24/7, whilst that country boasts of millions of supra-experts in all of the current six POLIGEOZONES and in all the fields of human endeavours – more so, in this our DIGITAL AGE?(!).
All editors in Nigeria need a bit of
- IMAGINATION
- CREATIVITY
- INNOVATION
- INVENTIVENESS
- ANALYTICAL MINDS
- WISDOM FOR NATIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS, CULTURAL SENSITIVITY if they are to sell their papers in this Digital Age, even in the midst of fierce competition from Online warriors cum magazines!
NOW IS THE TIME TO COMMERCIALISE PRESS RELEASES IN NIGERIA, IF YOU MUST PUBLISH SUCH TRASH BY PEOPLE, GROUPS AND ORGANIZATION ON EGO TRIPS
All media houses can choose to create a COMMERCIAL PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT and every press release from the ATKINS of this world such other in the mould of Daniel Kanu’s YEAA of yore (Youth Earnestly Ask for Abacha), those from fake and hungry NGO owners (Bread and Butter Activists – BABAs), those of ethnic and regional associations like Ohaneze, Afenifere, NEF, ACF, PANDEF, MBF, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, including those of secessionists must be paid for – and a box in the Commercial Public Service Announcements (CPSA) should attract a minimum of N25,000xx.
NATION BUILDING IS A COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY…NO GOVERNMENT IN THE WORLD, NO MATTER HOW BENEVOLENT CAN DO AND PROVIDE EVERYTHING FOR ALL OF ITS CITIZENS
“Rivers do not drink their own water
and trees do not eat their own fruits.
The sun does not shine on itself
and flowers do not spread their own
fragrance for themselves.
Living for others is a rule of nature.
We are born to help each other,
No matter how difficult it is.
Life is good is good when you are happy
But much better when others are happy because of you.”
- Pope Francis.
As these unregistered ethnic and regional ‘political parties’ are asking the Buhari-APC-led Government to redesign/reinvent/re-engineer/reform/transform/refashion/re-order/refocus/re-configure/re-caliberate/reclone/redream/re-envision Nigeria, they too should show the way by becoming developmental in nature and leave politics for the politicians, and hence forth all these ethnic/regional parties - associations/organizations must stop heating up the polity unnecessarily by desisting from issuing political statements, and route all their concerns bordering on the political through their elected representatives who will table such on the floor of either the Lower or Upper House of the nation’s bi-cameral legislatures; so also, are individuals, NGOs, the BABAs, etc.
And having so re-engineered themselves to become developmental and progressive in nature/outlook – socio-econo-cultural, they should begin immediately to promote same; these gerontocratic political scam should aim not at helping their children/grandchildren/wards and cronies into political appointments, and helping them to get contracts from governments, but at working always towards peaceful co-existence and harmonious relationship of all Nigerians in their various states of domicile – unity, national brotherhood, corporate existence of the Nigerian state – ONE NIGERIA, universal altruism, canvassing and promoting national unity, national consciousness, cultural sensitivity, national integration and cohesion, truth and justice.
What is more, the nation needs to know their sources of funding, current net worth and all they have collected from various – individuals, groups, organizations/institutions, from governments, past and present, etc, since inception – this is the transparency, they have been demanding from successive governments in Nigeria. And it needs be said here that these elders have been pushing young persons to their untimely deaths by encouraging them to issue highly charged and highly inflammable press releases and embark on unnecessary street demos, whilst their children and grandchildren/wards are enjoying their loots with Caucasian women in Western nations.
Therefore, to every young Nigerian out there, in a hurry to berth at their life’s port harbours, I say to them thus: SEEK YE FIRST THE FOUNTAIN OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE POLITICAL KINGDOM OF ONE NIGERIA AND ALL OTHER THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.
ETHNIC VUVUZELAS, NATION BUILDING, NATIONAL UNITY, INTEGRATION AND COHESION
Although I have a major work coming on these unregistered ethnic political parties (UEPP) and pressure groups (PGs), I should like to ask these infantile elders running these associations through undiscerning young people in a hurry to arrive their destination points in life by perching on the political hunchbacks of these elders, how many schools, colleges, universities, community/town halls, community libraries, community computer centres, skills academies they have built since inception; how many community roads they have constructed; how bore holes they have dug and donated to communities in their GEOPOLIZONES; how many books and uniforms they have supplied to their local schools, colleges and the universities; how many indigents and brilliant students they have identified over the years and given scholarships’ to; how many sports centres and academies they have built and donated to their POLIGEOZONES; how many rural electrifications they have carried out, charities established, cultural promotions, initiating moral renaissance/national rebirth and a new national morality
to raise national standards and values and how many inter and intra poligeozonal/geopolizonal cultural festivals, educational and sporting competitions they have organised, etc?
Regarding the much-talked, and written about restructuring, why have they not been any organised debates across the country, any nationwide consultation, opinion poll, referendum or cause such to be included in the constitution instead of resorting to infantile radicalism/purposeless gangsterism and agberorism, malignity and clamouring for secession nonsense now in the twilight of their lives.
THE PRESIDNECY AND ETHNIC IRRIDENTISM, PRESSURE GROUPS AND JINGOISTS…THE BATTLE FOR THE SOUL OF ONE NIGERIA
Henceforth, the Presidency should be telling all the existing unregistered ethnic and regional political parties - associations/organizations thus:
- Have you formally notified your elected representatives about restructuring, especially by way of submitting a blueprint for the subject matter?
- HAVE A CHANGE OF STRATEGY/TACTICS/TRAJECTORY…E do, stop heating up the polity all the time.
- Go through your reps to make/present/raise concerns about all your political concerns?
- Imbibe the DELES Principles/philosophy.
- Show us your (progress)/development credentials.
- Mind your business
- Mind your language
- Face your front
- What are your sources of funding?
- Show the Nigerian people your audited accounts for all the years of your ethnic and regional activism – put them in the public domain together with the names of the contributors – individuals, organizations/institutions/mainstream political parties, etc.
- Stop this your needless heating up of the polity, apo, kaji, enu go, O, s’ ogbo?
- LEAVE POLITICS FOR THE POLITICIANS
- If you want to do politics, go and join any of the mainstream parties or organise yourselves to form and register one.
THE PRESS AND NATION BUILDING
The press in Nigeria must help clean up the polity of all the careless and unguarded utterances that do heat up the polity by non-politicians in Nigeria, and they must equally henceforth, endeavour to mope up/vacuum-clean/hoover the pages of their newspapers and magazines of the kobo-kobo press releases from every Omaga and Omagu.
And as we inch closer to 2023, all those who want to massage their egos by endorsing politicians and the registered political parties must pay for such service/s by way of buying adverts spaces.
The press in Nigeria must not so cheapen themselves so every Iya Alata and Iya Oloja or Baba Alata and Baba Oloja can send them kobo-kobo press releases (KKPRs) for publication for kobo-kobo!
The journalist is a reporter, and the reporter is a journalist and not an image make/launderer or PR officers/execs.
The reason why the press in Nigeria just like the police are not respected is the fact that they have cheapened themselves to kobo-kobo products on the reduced items shelves of supermarkets, hence politicians like BAT have them in his pockets:
But is BAT a philosopher, and does he philosophise, chew, and eat philosophy as his staple food?
Is BAT a kind man or just a bloody, greedy, and mindless exploiter, looter and a thieve?
BUT WHAT WERE THE CONTENTS OF THOSE BULLION VANS?
Has he explained or rather when will he explain to the conscientious nation and humanity how those bullion vans came to be found at his ILE IGBI RA GA, the headquarters of his IRAGBIJI EMPIRE, on a road/ street named after another colonialist in bygone era– Sir Bernard Henry Bourdillon - many years before his current COLONIALISM AGENDA?
WHAT IS JAGABANISM?
And what is/are the principle/s of Jagabanism or what is/are the Jagaban principle/s or what is the Jagaban philosophy or what is the philosophy/ideology of Jagabanism or what is/are the Jagaban factor/s or the JAGABAN FACTOR and FACTOR FACTORIAL and FACTOR FACTORIALITY or the JAGABAN EFFECT?
And to every Yoruba, these questions are to be asked on behalf of posterity:
Are you an Awoist or a Jagabanite?
And which of these inscriptions on a T-Shirt as below would you enthusiastically buy and be proud to wear?
I AM AN AWOIST
I AM A JAGABANITE
AWOISM
JAGABANISM
TINUBUISM
I AM A TINUBUITE.
BAT and his alter ego, Akande, don’t never run to Abuja for a photo op to show off anymore why?
THE GULF IS FIXED!
Answer: Because the relationship between him and the quota system Taliban General – Chindo Yamusa II is now farther apart than the distance between the earth and the sky, almost irreparable, but soon and very soon after the publication of this espousal on JAGABANISM, there will be an arrangement put together by both the Presidency and his ever hungry political egrets for him to rush to Abuja for the self-same gimmickry of the self-same photo op to deceive the gullible Nigerians thus: LOOK AT US, WE ARE STILL THE SAME OLD DAVID AND JONATHAN!
Think ye that greedy Bola loves greedy Bola?
No!
Bola never loves anybody nor himself, but his overweening ambition to rule Nigeria at all costs – and if this is not possible in the name of the so-called AGREEMENT, he is likely to blow the trumpet – TO THY TENTS, O NIGERIANS and plunge the country into another civil war with the hope of seceding.
Finally, what is the difference between a bat and BAT?
Is batology the study of bats, BAT, and if not, what then is the study of bats, BAT?
APC: GOVERNING WITHOUT A BLUEPRINT/MANIFESTO…. BOLA ‘MUSA’ AHMED TINUBU AND THE LOST ROAD MAP
“ Where there is no vision, the people perish….”
- Proverbs 29:18.
BAT and that colonial taskmaster building colonies all over the place with the blood of Nigerians have two things in common – they are both addicts in losing things, perhaps to one, a private thing – land in Port Harcourt, which he has not told anybody in that country whether he has been able to locate his plot/s of land or not – and the other a creature entrusted to him by a company he had worked for as a security guard in the USA during his days as an Accounting student.
Did you hear that word correctly/properly and properly pronounced? Yes, Uncle Bola was doing an Accounting assignment, and so could not account for a creature entrusted to him because he fell asleep and was soundly asleep, and sleeping ku le and maybe snoring ma kpa-kpa – Oshi oda!
O’d boy, wait make I finish my tori.
Oi, BAT, wey SKIDDO?
Abi o’gbo ni?
Ani SKIDDO nko?
And the echo of: YOU ARE FIRED! YOU ARE FIRED! YOU ARE FIRED(!)…take your cheque…
Now country people, how can a man that could NOT account for a creature called SKIDDO, be handed almost 250 million Nigerians to look after in 2023…A student Accountant could not account for abunam – yet he is intensely desirous to rule over 250 million fifle…and if he cannot account for just a creature entrusted to him. how then, how then will Uncle Ahmed be able to account for the largest population of all persons of African ancestry…he might even fall asleep at a UN General Assembly…or before a visiting head of state/Government of another country!
Olorun Oba gbo…this is not a DOG MATTER; we are talking about a serious matter of GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY – and not about A DOG AND A BABOON TALE!
Oti-o, no one is out here to give BAT another “dirty slap”, but Bola should advise Bola to give up his dream of wanting to become the most important tenant in Nigeria (MITIN), come 2023.
And if Oka Maram dey still work on her ideology of REMISM and standing by the mirror practicing how to be the next FIRST LADY OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA (FLOFRON), someone near her now should whisper into her two-two ears: DADDY G.O. WILL HAVE NEED OF YOU…to ri done wo-wo, ore mi.
Te le nko, you thought I have been talking about IYA OLOJA-GENERAL?
Abunam…Fall in! Fall in! Fall in!
Atiku Abubakar
Next:
Elder Saraki’s pikin
Next:
Plastic Peteru (Peter).
Next:
Orji Kalu (Oi, is this IBB’s anointed one with the widest reach?)
Next:
Other Efulefus warming up to be President of Nigeria in 2023….
DIE YA DREAM: TALE OF A POLITICAL ASHAWO AND A PRIVATIZATION CORNERER…PLAIN ADVICE FOR THE BRAIN DEAD
Abubakarism and Nigeria
Advice: YOU LOTS MUST BURY THIS DREAM OF YOURS, KABISA!
Re-enter: Ayiku Ayoubakah,
If Atiku Abubakar will be honest with Atiku Abubakar – regarding wasting his time contesting again and again, despite many rejections, and whichever political party he hopes to play the harlot after this time round, and if he will be equally honest with the Nigerian people on his presidential bid misfortune/ill-luck over the years, will he as a supposedly ‘astute’ and a very ‘successful’ business man continue to stock the shelves of his political supermarket with a product that no customer/consumer wants to buy or that has been rejected again and again across many years that his rejection by the Nigerian people at the poll has lasted?
2023: IN THE HANDS OF ANOTHER FULANI AGAIN?
Speaking seriously, are Nigerians ready for another round of slavery, stealing, killing, maiming, destroying, rape, banditry, Boko, rugged Rugadity, brutality, bestiality, orgiastic madness, scopophiclicism, extremism, sharia, Hisbah hypocrisy, zangoism, colony, land grabbing spree, religious impositionism, linguistic imperialism, mindless ethnic nationalism, ethnic cleansing, Fulani supremacy, etc, in the hands of another Fulani person?
‘LATEST’ FROM ‘DR ROBERT AMALA’S’ FOUNTAIN OF KNOWLEDGE
- NEVER TRUST A FULANI WITH POWER ANYMORE
- NEVER ENTRUST POWER TO A FULANI
- THE FULANI’S LOVE OF POWER
- THE FULANI’S LUST FOR POWER
- ENDOGAMY: THE ROOTS OF NEPOTISM AND HEREDITARY PRIVILEGE AMONGST THE PEULS
***Ejo wo, Uncle Tinubu, oye ke ba mi ra awon iwe yi ke courier won fun mi lati London. Mo fi Olorun Oba be yin ni-o. A wish yin SPEEDY RECOVER – apologies to Sina Peters.
Uncle Ahmed, Ala fia pe lu ayo ni-o, ehen.
THE NORTH AND THE TYRANNY/DICTATORSHIP OF THE FULANI, HAUSA, KANURI AND THE SHUWA ARAB ETHNIC NATIONALITIES
“Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.”
- Philippians 2:3.
What is more, Northern Nigeria is not Fulani or Hausa or Kanuri or Shuwa Arabs nor Hausa-Fulani, but Northern Nigeria houses a multitude of nations.
There are a thousand and one ethnic nationalities in the North besides Fulani, Hausa or Kanuri or Shuwa Arabs, thus, can the politicians from these ethnic nationalities for once, discipline their greed/self-centredness, domination, tyranny/dictatorship, above all else, their BORN TO RULE MENTALITY and embrace the principles of universal altruism so other ethnic nationalities and adherents of other faiths apart from the Muslim faith (can) contest at the centre to take a shot at the Presidency?
MEDICAL TOURISM: THE EXAMPLE OF CHINDO YAMUSA II AND THE JAGABAN OF BORGU
BAT like his Taliban colonial master, Quota System Major-General Muhammadu Buhari are both notorious medical tourists. But did these two Luciferian deceivers not know the Nigerian people did not vote for them and their party to show off their most annoying and now embarrassing medical tourism credentials?
Just simple sense would have let both of them be aware that within the now six years of their ignominious bloody rule, fraught with unprecedented sorrow, anguish and untold hardships as have been and still being experienced by Nigerians, including their pet programme of ALL POVERTY CONTINUE, they could equally have built six Comprehensive hospitals or Farm Clinics in the nation’s current six GEOPOLIZONES to save the toiling, hapless and helpless masses of Nigeria these medical wastages and their accompanied capital flight.
ABSENCE OF PARTY DISCIPLINE, NATIONAL ORDER, ORDEREDNESS AND LOYALTY IN THE NIGERIAN SYSTEM
A man that has conspired to bring to the House of Nigeria ants-infested faggots wants to be crowned the king of all Nigeria, and in that his delusion of grandeur, after having been ‘crowned’ the king of the SW, whilst donning his political regalia as the Governor-General of Lagos, would want to proceed from here in that self-same unparalleled delusion of grandeur, desire to be crowned the king of the world (KOW).
Except that he has been a political wanderer and a man of no fixed address in that party of the most corrupt and crooked on the planet earth, I mean the House of Fugitives with its slogan: All Punishment Carried Out (APC) or All Poverty Continue (APC), where he is just a mere vacillator – a political pendulum and an irritant bird of the passage, and having been grudgingly dashed that big and deceptive title – NATIONAL LEADER, not knowing that a big title does kill SKIDDO as well as a big name, he should have called a party caucus meeting and summoned Chindo Yamusa II to tell him ho-ha the utmost word of truth that the Nigerian people did not vote for the infamous Anakrija Prostitution Company (APC), so his fifle, the Fulanis can be killing the very people that had voted them into office, nor anyone/group/association connected with the party - whether directly or indirectly – the Presidency and the two notorious Miyettis to be doing jihad, prowling about and killing people all over the place, raping women in and around the country, kidnapping and abducting the hapless, helpless Nigerians, including students receiving Western education for ransom – the very people they had taken the oath of office to protect.
Lamentably, BAT does not even know that as the so-called ‘national leader’ of the Agbero Pafu Company – APC, he is the boss of every APC member, registered or just a mere sympathiser, including that clannish President.
All students of the Nigerian political history would agree with me that in the beautiful days of party politics and democracy in Nigeria, I mean THE GOOD OLD DAYS, be it during the 1st Republic or in the 2nd Republic, the Great Zik was fully in charge of his parties – the NCNC/NPP (Adeniran Ogunsanya), so also was the sage, Awo – AG/UPN; in like manner, Ahmadu Bello’s NPC, and later Adisa Meredith Akinloye’s NPN; the Talakawa Chief Priest, Aminu Kano – NEPU/PRP, and that clean-peace-loving politician and the exponent of POLITICS WITHOUT BITTERNESS, Waziri Ibrahim and his GNPP, etc.
But now, GROSS INDISCIPLINE AND AN UNPARALLELED TREACHERY AND UNNIGERIAN LOYALTY define party politics and everything Nigerian!
So, who needs this come-chop-food is ready-agbegilodo-anacrija-efulefu-plate-licking-almajiri-bolekaja-ma nu e perplex - a tribal bigot (a Yoruba irredentist), a religious fanatic, a Fulani arch-sympathiser cum a tacit supporter of jihad/sharia and ruga agenda to sail the ship of state – herein called either: NIGERIANA or NIGERIYANA or NAIJIRIYANNA?
So that he will make himself the BABA OLOJA FIELD MARSHALL-GENERAL OF THE FEDERATION? Shio…Oshi oda!
BAT’S STEADY JOURNEY FROM HIS POLITICAL ‘GETHSEMANE’ TO HIS POLITICAL ‘GOLGOTA’
BAT’s tale from Iragbiji
“The hope of this administration is to see APC last beyond it. Therefore, we should allow the party to decide. You cannot sit there in Lagos, for instance, and decide on the fate of APC on zoning.
The restructuring of the party has begun from the bottom to the top with the membership card registration. Every member of the party must be involved.
We will soon conduct our convention. No single member of the party will be allowed to go against the wish of the party. We should allow the party to decide.''
- Major-General Muhammadu Buhari.
“We are zoning to zone the unzoned and surmounting the surmountable.”
- O. Mbadiwe.
“Logic and illogicality can never meet and where they do meet, they produce tantology.”
- O Mbadiwe.
“The Vice Presidency is a repeater station of a major station of the microscopic consequence.”
- O. Mbadiwe
“We have met and reached an accord concordiale.”
- O. Mbadiwe.
“Go and tell Mbakwe, we are coming with Federal Might to Imo State.”
- O.Mbadiwe.
When a man of Judas of Bourdillon’s prodigality occupies such an exalted position as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, does anyone doubt this swashbuckler of a fellow would bring Nigeria down amoral abyss and define national standards, national morality, national conscience, national integrity from his own very warped mammonic prism and very odious lifestyle of unparalleled epicureanism?
But Bola who are we talking about? Again, Bola who?
It is thus, to be reasoned here that to say BAT single-handedly delivered the whole of Southwest to the APC (ALL PROBLEMS CONTINUE) in all of the elections from 2015 to 2019 is an insult to other Yorubas who then responded to the exigencies of the moment by voting according to their consciences and convictions.
When BAT together with his money-loving political egrets in the newsrooms did boast he single-handedly brought APC – ALL PANDEMIC CARRIERS to power, it is as saying only the votes of the Yorubas brought that blood-thirsty party to power, both in 2015 and 2019, which is an insult to the whole North POLIGEOZONE.
So, whilst many a Yoruba parent would say to their children/wards: BE LIKE AWO, is there any Yoruba parent out there who would say to their children/wards: BE LIKE BOLA AHMED TINUBU?
And as for Oba Rilwanu Akiolu, all I can say to him from this side of the Atlantic is: BE LIKE THE GREAT OBA OYEKAN, that great nationalist who was a father to all Lagosians and every politician that did visit him whilst he was alive.
Finally, when you make your problem a problem, the problem you made a problem puts to flight solutions/answers to that problem that you have made a problem.
O Lord, come quickly and bless thy beloved Nigeria.
Still unapologetically ONE-Nigeriaholic
….The Voice of One crying in the Diaspora…proudly leading the NATIONALISTS UNITY MOVEMENT OF ONE NIGERIA (NUMOON).
Yours in the service of God, our ONE Nigeria and all of humanity.
