A BRIEF PREAMBLE
Awon Omo Naija kan ke nigbati cost of living fo so ke and Naira kan “swagger”; fuel dey “buga”; minimum wage dey do “babaringa”; de economy just dey “dobale” and they are crying bi awon Omode… hun-hun…oshi oda
Nigeria: A Nation in a State of Zero Government and Zero Governance… is there no Government in that Country Anymore, and Why is there no Balm in all Nigeria?
Obsequious! Objection! Obsequious!
It’s all about Nigeria and understanding the significance, sanctity and the exaltedness of that office, what it confers and expects of the holder – the highest holy ground of service in the country. Thus, the Presidency is not a place for every egboda (Yala, for thoroughly worthless), but an exalted office for the exalted mind. When alive, the great Zik of Africa bowed to every occupier of that exalted office and not the other way round. Kabisa!
“… politics is the natural ‘farm’ of the North and being in government perpetually makes them feel and behave like a shoal of tilapia fish in a village pond.”
- JOHN ODEY ADUMA.
WARS IN THE AGE OF WAHALA AND KATAKATA…. OUR WORLD HAS GONE MAD AGAIN!
In these our chaotic and uncertain times when the gods of war have been let loose upon the nations, it becomes a pertinent question to ask again: how ready is Nigeria, and indeed, all Africa for these wars flapping their wings all over the nations of the world and will both fight?
Generally, what is the current stock of Nigeria’s/Africa’s arsenal/weaponry, and what is the capabilities and combat readiness of their professional military?
Also, if the wars were to be fought within Nigeria/Africa, how prepared are we? Or the nation states of Nigeria/Africa have become so complacent that they think these wars can only happen, and in fact, take place only in the continent’s most volatile, vulnerable and fractured regions – Africa’s axis of strife in hunger-stricken Ethiopia, Tigray and Eritrea; resource-rich, but perpetually wahala-infested and strife/war/violence-stricken DRC; the highly Islamized-Arabinized-terrorised-war stricken, super active, super sensitive, super inflammable, super volcanic and super eruptive and Kwashiorkor-ridden Sudan; the supra-Islamised-Arabized Somali/Somaliland, and nowhere else in the continent to the point the complacent regions of the world within the continent could merely chuckle and ask: War? NOT IN MY BACKYARD!
But how indeed, will firstly, Nigeria, and then Africa wide respond to the myriads of both the old and the new global threats, including cyber and AI warfare, being non-weapon producing continent, excepting SA?
Secondly, what is Nigeria’s and indeed, Africa’s total military strength and capability and how combat-ready are they as well as the quality and quantity of their armed forces, training, professionalism, competence and milie dexterity against the backdrop of, especially Nigeria’s inability to defeat terror in the last two or so decades of doing battles with the former street urchins (a.k.a almajirai) turned Sunni-Wahabi-Salafis terrorists/bush soldiers, gun-toting human predators (a.k.a.) “unknown gun men”; AK-47-wielding Fulani herders; kidnappers; bandits, night and day raiders; Islamic jihadi land grabbers, ruga and territory hunters, ransom-demanding bush and urban Arewa monstrous monsters?
But why has the world – mankind – all humanity gone back into or gradually slid into war despite the advancement of the modern civilization?
Answer: It is not possible for a world such as ours with such zero morality, for whilst the world is advancing with lightning speed in technology, it has stagnated in morality, promoting all moral aberrations and amoral practices. Therefore, a world of such a zero morality and stupendous or gargantuan godlessness is heading fast into perdition, and the only option for humanity to settle scores now is the test of strength and power in battle fields such as we have now across the globe – no more dialogues, but war, war and war as mad dogs slugging it out with each other on the highway, not caring a hoot about the speeding oncoming vehicles on both sides. And this our zero hour shall be recorded in titles such as MAN: THE ABANDONEMENT OF GOD, and MAN: THE ABANDONMENT OF MORALITY.
(THIS) OUR CRAZY, CRAZY WORLD AND THE PRODIGAL PRINCE
Man is a Prince Harry walking away from his father, King Charles III. Thus, neither God nor man has abandoned the other. What has transpired in that vertical relationship of a son with a father was simply that as the Biblical prodigal son simply walking away, just as in the modern times, Prince Harry too simply walked away and preferred the horizontal relationship and comfort of a Meghan (Markle).
In sum, man is the prodigal prince in the relationship between him and God just as Harry is the prodigal Prince in the relationship between him and the dad, whilst Meghan Markle is the ‘serpent’ (of the modern world) in the relationship which neither has abandoned the other!
Enter, King Charles III:
The abandonment of Prince Harry or just a display of aloofness or a momentary lack of concern/interest or love for his boy?
Enter, Harry:
The prodigal Prince or the abandonment of (his father) Charles?
Thus, is there a notion of Man: The abandonment of God?
Or God: The abandonment of man?
BAT & His Love for Spectacularity/Appearances: What an embarrassment and a stupendous shame for BAT to go to office within his enclave – Agberoland with a retinue of thozonds of personnel? But what is BAT afraid of? Just what is he afraid of? Did not his wife Pastor-Alhaja O’BAT tell him that according to the holy scripture, “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain,” (Psalm 127:1)?
But who are these, security team or office personnel, and why no women?
No wonder APC women have been complaining of being dumped by the Anacrija Pangolo Party/Alliance of Political Criminals (APC) after having been used, and only for the eternally crafty and foxy O’BAT to hand them mere fabrics! Is this then bribery and corruption or just O’BATlliatives for the next Owambeganza?
And what about other Nigerian women? “They don’t matter, do your worst?” Okay-o. There is God-O!
But Oka Maram Aladja, how much the ‘renewed hope’ cost, and wherefrom you get the moni for those mannalliatives?
Tell me Lagbaja, Egbetokun and Bichi, are these members of BAT Security team or a bunch of drunken fellas in search of the nearest beer palour in and around BATland/Wolfland, thoroughly uncoordinated and very unprofessional as they staggered along like drunken duck fowls with BAT walking like a crab on its way to an Owambe or a cockroach keeping to the corner of a room to avoid light?
But how serious are their miens as dem the waka as if going to okpokrikpo dance or akataka, some looking faced down as if searching for the Biblical lost coin, with the person they are to protect looking frightfully and anxious as if the people of Nigeria forced him to rule over them, and not himself gatecrashing into that exalted office and holy ground of service, thoroughly clueless, overwhelmed, confused and very destitute of ideas, especially after having hijacked power through the instrumentality of Emilokanism, Agberoism and Jagabanism.
And how is this Asiwajuism or progressivism, fellow Nigerians?
A-a-a-a-h that fall! E be like na Oracle dey warn am to stop dancing on Abiola’s grave-o.
Eje ka so oto oro fun (Arta)xerxes of Iragbiji regarding the number of cars in his convoy as he causes KONFUSHON and CHAHOS round Nigeria polluting the Nigerian landscape, thereby worsening the ongoing global climategeddon, in addition to not taking heed firstly, of his personal safety and security, and then the security and safety of his compatriots, apologies, Oka Akpayo said going by the exhumed colonial anthem, all Nigerians should be referring to themselves as “brothers”!
But apart from the cultural, political, social and anthropological issues triggered by the so-called NA, it at once reads like an un-desexed text (“… in brotherhood we stand...” line 4 and at another level, it tries to balance up that tragic sexism “… our sovereign motherland…” line 6, whilst maintaining its vacillatory tendency as that of a pendulum, returning to resume its misogynistic acrobatics (“… where no man is oppressed..” line 18.
The exhumed so-called national anthem is a thoroughly nasty piece of work not sure of its vision, idealism and the ideology it tries to tyrannically impose on the so-called “tribes” and native land”.
Besides its abysmal impositionism, the anthem not only behave like a fowl in a strange land, standing with one foot, not sure the ground would collapse under her or not, the colonial anthem which ought to have been left buried in the graveyard of history is hermaphroditic, and thus, suffers from incurable hermaphroditism!
It's binary nature – half man, half woman; half beast, half human – and alluding to Nigeria’s multitude of nations as “tribes”, and the Commonwealth of Nigeria as “native land” is to tie her perpetually to the apron string of the ‘Master’, making her a mere nanny state even after the departure of the colonialists who merely had entrusted their ‘vineyard’ to the ‘savage’ “natives” and like the Biblical king afterward travelled to a far country, bidding the caretake native, thus OCCUPY TILL I COME.
Therefore, as our emphatic denunciation and outright rejection, the just exhumed so-called national anthem should be reburied, and a work be written to mourn it – THE SECOND BURIAL OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM: THE FINAL REQUIEM.
Now can a compatriot, sorry, a ‘brother’ lead us in a Nunc Dimittis, please?
LAGBAJA vs. JALAGBA, BATOCRACY vs. NORTHERNISM… AN EXPERIMENT IN DIARCHY -
Politics is the ‘Farm’ of the North
A playlet
Reacting to the pervasive unease in the North, arising from their being out of power for just less than a season, the BATvoodoo Chief Priest/Arch-Bishop Onagaga Otapiapiapomogbegriijekuje penned a playlet to be performed by the Nollyfufu artistes at the VoodooBAT wing of the famous Izoduwa Hall in the Cocoa Province of the Federal Republic of Magomago entitled: The North and Power, Power and the North:
Enter, Press man: North, North, North, Mr Pr…
Enter, ‘Presido’, (Very furious at the question), ki ni je be, se maggi ni?
Press man: North, North….
Mr ‘Presido’: North wo? Je kan lo su jo wo! Ani je ko won lo sun, jare! Why are they never ever happy when a non-Fulani, non-Northerner is in power? Do they own this country? This country belongs to all of us… all the people of Magomago Land.
Press man: Won kan bi nu, Mr ‘Pr…’
Mr ‘Presido’: Ya go ja re, Mr Jobless. Is it only inu lo won ma bi? Let them go and jump into the Lagoon or into the Great River, then all Magomago Land will know they are serious. Why are they eternally so lustful for power…? Anyway, politics is the natural ‘farm’ of the North and being in government perpetually, makes them feel and behave like a shoal of tilapia fish in a village pond.
By the way, where was this your North when others were giving their children and young people free education?
They were busy collecting money from the Arabian Peninsula to build madrassas, training and teaching the children of the poor to become the Jihadi X bullies – the attack dogs that they are today, in addition to educating and training them how to shout BOKO HARAM(!) and do jihad and behead other citizens of Magomago Land who are not their kind…the fruits of that purposeless malignity in keeping the children of the talakawas down perpetually, and using them as cannon fodder, is what this nation has been experiencing for upward of over two decades in form of terrorism, kidnappings, raiding, mindless killer herders, bandits, mujahideen, both local and international, having as it were, the sole aim of seizing indigenous people’s ancestral lands for Islam under PROJECT DAR AL-ISLAM. Let this your North be told serious people do moon exploration and not moon landing…
Also, were they not busy collecting money and importing indoctrinating literatures from Saudi Arabia to teach kids and young people about Aljanah, 24 virgins and all what not, including teaching them that to die is martyrdom, and to live is cowardice?
Whilst children and young people in other POLIGEOZONE are in their parents’ homes sleeping inside their family homes protected 24/7, the North removed their children and young persons from the streets and dumped them inside the forests – Sambasa forests and other such ki ni kan jungles, including living on the mountains, hills, inside caves and in the valleys, wherefrom they come out to waylay, kidnap, terrorise people for ransoms, and destroying crops belonging to farmers on daily basis 24/7, and killing them afterwards to seize indigenous people’s ancestral lands and instal sarkins, followed by ardos and later emirs, answerable ONLY to the Salatan of Sokata.
The North of Sada must look at itself in the mirror and ask itself the eternal question, and then inscribe it on the marble of time at an open space in the desert accessible to all, and that eternal question is: why has the North under Sada lost the plot and degenerated on the social, cultural, moral and economic ladder to become the most retrogressive/regressive, backward and most under developed region in the Magomago Republic, despite being in power since nineteen krididi?
In fact, let it be told to posterity that the reign of Sultan Sada is the most unprofitable, without peace, without progress, without development, without jobs for the jobless and not fit for purpose and no good value for money since 1804. Yet, whilst the Sunni Arab nations have learnt to put oases in their desert-ravaged Peninsula, spreading economic growth, development and wealth, Northern Magomago Land under Sultan Sada have been spreading terror, poverty of Biblical proportion. And Sada will only be remembered for his observances announcements.
Mr Journalist, let me tell you: your North dey do Boko Haram to wipe out Western education from their educational curriculum and replace it with Islamic Literacy, training and education. Go and read my latest book: HOW THE NORTH UNDERDEVELOPED MAGOMAGO LAND.
Lest, I forget, hard times await you jenases because I’ll destroy all of you news hounds before you destroy my Government.
Achaba treated you with kid gloves, I will sting all of you with very poisonous scorpions.
Exeunt: All actors as the ‘Prezdent’ climbed the stairs of the Presidential jet taking him to the Economic Summit, with the rookie reporter checking if he had recorded the interview well, only to discovered that the batteries of his midget tape recorder were dead, so could not record a word of the interview with the ‘Prezdent’!
And the curtains on both sides draw to a close.
EPILOGUE
The rookie reporter was pacing up and down biting his fingers thinking of his fate when he meets with his editor in the newsroom later.
THE ABYSMAL DEGENERACY OF SECURITY AND DEFENCE INSTITUTIONS IN NIGERIA…. THE MILITARY IN NIGERIA, THE POLICE, THE PEOPLE AND THE REBOUND PHENOMENON (EFFECT) OR THE CIVILIAN EFFFECT
THE MILITARY IN THE BALANCE & THEIR FALL FROM POWER AND GLORY…COCK A DOODLE DOO, ALAS, ALAS!
The Nigeria Armed Forces, NAF (and not the Armed Forces of Nigeria, AFN, please, Army Public Relations, take note) that cannot defeat a band of miscreants and streets urchins turned terrorists, otherwise known as Boko Haram for decades have reduced themselves from their former glory and Olympian height to the valley of unparalleled shame, looking for every bloody civilian on every nook and cranny of the Nigerian Federation, including little Wisdom Hashimu to do battle with, browbeat them to submission and subsequently conquer them… the Bloody Civilians of the Federation (BCF) are after all, the vanquished!
How are the mighty fallen! But the military must be told in no uncertain terms that Civiliangeddon is already here. Is anyone outa there still in doubt that henceforth it will be fire for fire in the battle next time between the military and their so-called bloody civilians? (2 Samuel 1:19-27).

“Dem dey beat soja…Dem dey beat soja… they no dey beat soja in uniform-o…they no dey beat soja in uniform-o.”
- A concerned voice announcing and warning at the same time when some MF bloody civilians were Usyking (beating up soldiers mercilessly as the just decorated Ukrainian undisputed world Heavy Weight Boxing Champion turned a Fury into a punching bag in faraway Saudi Arabia) some soldiers at Banex Plaza, Abuja.
BECAUSE THE MILITARY AND THE POLICE IGNORED MY ADVICE OVER THE YEARS -
- This is what the military and the police in Nigeria are now getting, and will be getting from their civil population compatriots for the years of abuse of power, a sorta years of power show and the brutish harassment into which they (the military), the police, the para-military and every Gbajabiamila and Lamibiajagba, better still, every Lagbaja and Jalagba in uniform have subjected them to since 1960 till the very present.
- And does not familiarity breed contempt, and over familiarity breeds such public sandpapering of the nation’s Khaki boys and girls by the hitherto very frightful, timid and very fearful Nigerian civilian populace? This is the stuff in which the rebound phenomenon or the civilian effect is made of. Do me, I do you, God no go vex; slap me just once and I’ll slap you back a thousand times! Shoot me, I shoot you, our ancestors no go vex, and fire me, I fire you, the new national anthem is there to unite us, brother… NIGERIA WE HAIL THEE, just verbalise it and you will get national unity, even ma UNITY IN EBASITY/FUFUSITY (DIVERSITY). Na dis we dey call EDI (Equality, Diversity & Inclusion)!
- Of a truth, nothing in excess, again I say: NOTHING IN EXCESS!
- As someone from military families, both paternal and maternal families, as well as being an ex-barracks boy, I have many times without number written about how in the 70s, even as mere teenagers we were very much dreaded and feared by the “BLOODY CIVILIANS”, how much more our parents, guardians, brothers and sisters who were uniformed personnel.
- And whenever we stepped out of the military cantonment, Ikeja to the Oshodi or Bolade side of the markets, traders – men and women would run helter-skelter, falling and tumbling with their wares – and this was so, all over Nigeria during the period under reference.
Still in the 70s, when the 41 Division, Artillery Regiment, some eight months after the Col. Buka Suka Dimka-led abortive coup on February 13, 1976 that led to the death of General Murtala Muhammed, Nigeria’s former Military Head of State were moved from Lagos to Badagry, particularly Ajara Topa, and later relocated to the Bereko Barracks, still in Badagry, both few kilometres from Topo Island, whenever we barracks boys moved out of the barracks to villages, the whole villages would disperse/scatter.
Yes, I mean just us, barracks boys, (all of us in our early teens!), and not our parents and guardians; even just passing through villages or the villagers just heard we were coming - during such times, they would be shouts and screams as the villages dispersed because of us: “Ovie soja! Ovie..Ovie soja!” (Egun word for soldiers’ children).
And for the barracks in South West, the cry was: “Awon omo soja! Awon omo soja…. sare! Won bo… won po…sare! Ani ko sare, kia, kia!
A CALL TO CONSCIENCE, REFLECT AND ACTION
Therefore, by Nigeria, rather, Nigeria We Hail Thee, ma Basi… Abasi mbok, I’d like Oga Lagbaja, his boys and galz together with the other Security Chiefs and their boys and galz to read the boyish reminiscences of my barracks years and immediately embark on self-introspection about the state of the military in Nigeria today, and their relationship with their civilian compatriots, sorry, brothers, according to the new nayonal anyem and Brother Godslocust Akpabio, asking why the military have become so soft like cocoyam leaves, a sorta efulefu and egboda or using a famous barracks expression: THIS ONE NA WOMAN SOJA… WALLAHI, DEY MILITARY NOW, NA WOMAN MINTRY (MILITARY) – to our great and beautiful Nigerian women, no offence intended here please, just a common barracks expression, and me una Brother (O’ there he goes again, Brother!), I be proper barracks boy, and it is only in the barracks can you not only bring up a child to be a good citizen, but it is equally in the barracks that you can bring up a TOTAL CHILD FOR A TOTAL NATION; and for all the treasures of Arabia and the cedars of Lebanon, I ain’t gonna trade the discipline of being brought up in barracks – I mean TOTAL UPBRINGING. KWERET UPBRINGING WITHOUT KWEREPSHON!
Lest I forget, in all South West, in their relationship with us barracks boys, they would often say: “Awon omo soja, emi ofe wahala won or awon omo soja, me ofe wahala Baba won… mi fe ki Baba won wa gbe okuta mu mi lo ri… ani je ko ma ko wahala won lo…”
But why am I always very passionate about the army and the military generally?
Answer: Because I’m a barracks boy and I AM FROM A MILITARY FAMILY!
Chief of Army Staff of the Idle Force of Nigeria (IFN), now leading a band of unruly mobs in khaki!
Oka Layaya (Lagbaja) without strategic defence thinking, leading pepper-soup-brukutu-woman Soja in Nigeria. But won’t a Jalagba be a better value for our money?
Ahoha! Oga Jalagba has just this week to send me copies of his NATIONAL STRATEGIC DEFENCE & SECURITY POLICY BLUEPRINT, AFRICA STRATEGIC SECURITY AND DEFENCE POLCY BLUEPRINT AND THE GLOBAL STRATEGIC SECURITY AND DEFENCE POLICY BLUEPRINT:
Since the return to democracy in 1997, this writer has been making a similar request to all the COAS with none responding to this self-same challenge of mine. It is hoped COAS Lagbaja will stand up and be counted.
THE MILITARY AND POLICING IN NIGERIA
Again and again, why have the Nigeria military taken over the job of policing in Nigeria, carrying out arrestable functions since the return to democracy in 1999?
Also, are they so idle or just a lack of creativity, innovation, imagination, inventiveness, foresight and their general inability to reposition themselves to meet the current global exigencies – THE WAR/S NEXT TIME, including their inability to map out strategies to meet national, inter-boundary and international strategic defence?
A BARRACKS BOY’S STRATEGIC TERROR FIGHT AND EXPLOITS… HOW I WILL LAUNCH MY OPERATION WIPE OUT THE MF(s) - BOKO, BANDITS, UNKNOWN GUN/UNIFORMED MEN, KIDNAPPERS, KILLER-SHEPHERDS, ETC
The religionization, politicization, Arabization, Fulanization, Hausanization and Kanurization of the war on terror notwithstanding, were I in my days as a barracks boy to lead the war on terror in Nigeria, it would be 3 – 6 months intelligence gathering, aimed at getting the job done in 12-hour operation with heavy smoky bombardment within the vicinity, and in and around all the terrorists enclaves in all ECOWAS, and perhaps beyond, using the ICADDDW principles of (intelligence, confront, attack, disable, destabilize, destroy and wipe out), whilst if the same job is given to the police in Nigeria (not the Nigeria Police as there is no such an institution) would if entrusted with the task of ending terrorism in Nigeria would take three months to get the job done, something the army/military have been doing for upward of two decades without results, but their various COAS, CDS, Minsters of Defence and top level officers like the generation of top level senior officers before them – Olusegun Obasanjo, Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma (+++) have become multi-billionaires, using their proxies/cronies to salute the national treasury together with the money voted for defence and security and that to fight terror in that country, in addition to having concubines and properties and bank accounts in the nations of the world - the new ‘Mecca’ (Dubai), particularly!
Also, don’t forget the military top brass’s CREEK OR MANGROVE SWAMP BUSINESS-O.
Walahi, monkey dey work, baboon dey chop.
Mama Osakwe done already talk am: THERE’S GOD-O!
Walahi, bery, bery (very, very) scandalous, but still wondering why states Governors are still being given security votes, instead of creating a Department in the Presidency, sorry, now AGBEROLAND to be entrusted with the security and the defence votes of the Nigerian state to be known and called the NATIONAL/NIGERIAN SECURITY & DEFENCE COUNCIL (NSDC), directly under a sitting President at any given point in our national life?
Security votes as this writer has continued to argue is just NASHALAL CAKE or NATIONAL BONANZA, most appropriately a sorta OWANBEGANZA, or even ma kpa-kpa, BETTA EDU for our Brother Governors, ha, ha, sister, no blame me-o, dis na by the revelation of Elder Obot.
Abasi mbok, Brother Obot is a first-class misogynist or is it malenist?
Why are you now arguing very blindly, Brother-Elder Obot, when you say all we now be ‘brothers’, you mentioned women/sisters or did you say all of us now be “brother and sisters”, not comyayots (compatriots)?
Talk true… speak the truth make devil dey ashamed-o.
But what exactly are Obot’s women credentials since ‘Yibom State House?
And my only one ogbonge akrision as before be say: why have the military lost the plot of their constitutional functions since 1997?
Amebo, Amebo, abi they swear for you… (furious), I say abi they swear for you, why you dey ask me pe when Uncle Sam go bring Bassey come Nigeria?
Na every ojojumo, ojo jumo you go dey ask me that kind yeye question: Which time America go bring Bassey come Nigeria…which time Uncle Sam wan bring Bassey come Nigeria?
I tell you, go ask Oga Lagbaja or go Abuja, go ask them there!
Wo, Amebo, if na play, make you stop am-o.
I beg make I do my song jare eyin eyan wa:

The military’s competition and unhealthy rivalry with the Police Service (Force) in Nigeria over the latter’s constitutional role of policing, including fighting terror and executing arrestable functions have led to the current level of the depersonalization and the weakening of the Police Force and the subsequent development of the current abysmal level of low self-worth amongst the personnel of the Police Force in Nigeria just as the culture of inhuman and miserable welfare have bred low morale amongst the boys and girls of the Police Service, thus corroding their strength and dignity, stripping them bare of any iota of integrity as they have to embark on all sorts of stuffs to survive. The military’s takeover of the statutory duties of the police is also the cause of the frequent clashes between them and the police.
What is more lamentable, since the IBB years, this writer has been decrying and at the same time lamenting the crowded policing space as policing in Nigeria has already been over-decentralised, liberalised and over-privatised to the point that Nigerians now have even TOMATO FORCE(!) – every Omaga, Ohobu and Omagu doing arrest! So also, are the military/army doing arrest, investigating murders, constituting a panel to try persons allegedly involved in the Okuama massacre, who are civilians. Ha! Ha!
IDLENESS AND BUSYBODINESS IN THE MILITARY
But are the military now indeed, so idle?
Do Jalagba (Lagbaja) and his boys indeed, know what their job prescriptions/specifications are as entrenched in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?
Shouldn’t the Nigerian people hold a huge burial ceremony for the Army/military in Nigeria, for the army/military have not only lost the plot but are ‘dead’. Therefore, let all Nigeria hold for them a requiem!
But why are the army/military so ubiquitous, spreading their tentacles, giraffing and like the octopus, occupying every national space?
Again, are the army/military indeed, so idle?
At the end of the day, how fair to the modern generation of the army/military in Nigeria when we look at the precedence that have been set by the Obasanjo-Danjuma-Yar’Adua generation, going by the vault of wealth at their command on departing the Force in 1979 - a trend that has been continued till the very present by this generation of the military and the police, having investments in the nations of the world with the taxpayers’ and other ‘investments’ in unlikely places like the creeks and the mangrove swamp forests of the Niger Delta, whilst the military and the police are using prehistory weapons and chakabula to fight and combat crime?
When alive, General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua alone owned half of the Warri Port, the same port through which General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma was importing barites (barytes) into the country, even though banned by the administration of General Ibrahim Gbadamosi Babangida, another very, very stupendously, obscenely corrupt and very, very wealthy General at the expense of the Nigerian people.
Look at Olu Obasanjo, from $150, 000 gifted him by Bill Gates when he came out of prison, where he is today?
THE ABEOKUTA LANDMARK OF CORRUPTION, WOLE SOYINKA AND OTHER DESCENDANTS OF ODUDUWA….
Abeokuta: From a town beneath the rock to a town of the landmark of corruption
What is worse, that infamous landmark of corruption, the so-called Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), which ought to be an eternal scar on the conscience of all the sons and daughters of Oduduwa, the very people together with their South West Press Hub, hounding Jonathan, Mama Osakwe, Buhari and Mama Yusuf, and currently Betta Edu for the sins that abound in multi-dimensional ways in their part of the country. What is more, inside OOPL, abound gifts given to Nigeria through Olu Obasanjo when he was President of Nigeria which statutorily belonged to the Nigerian state! And whoever is the ‘President’ of that country must make Olu return all these gifts to the Nigerian state because they belong to the Nigerian people and not Olusegun Obasanjo or his so-called OOPL.
At a time that the House of Nigeria has fallen apart almost irreparably, Wole Soyinka can’t dare look straight into the eyes of his benefactors and say to them: you are all thieves and robbers and guilty of unforgivable magnitude of sins against the Nigerian people, and telling them not just to stop humiliating and shaming the Nigerian people through their MANNALLIATIVES, including letting it be known to all of them severally that now is the time for them to do restitution.
But why should the “drunken” recipients of charity money from the “drunken” politicians to fund their charities, centres, foundations, etc, be complaining when the House of Nigeria has been overrun and taken by equally DRUNKEN LEADERS?
Truth is that a friend of a thief is a thief too; and those who company with evil fifle are themselves evil. No wonder the Holy Scripture has continued to enjoin all those who have ears to hear, let them hear thus:
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
- 2 Corinthians 6:14-17.
And when the imminent NIGERIAGEDDON starts from the house of God, what shall the righteous do?
The so-called spiritual fathers and mothers of the nation -
THE SO-CALLED MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD IN NIGERIA HAVE LED THE FLOCK OF JESUS CHRIST ASTRAY BY PREACHING “ANOTHER GOSPEL”, ESPECIALLY AS HAVE REACHED THEIR USE BY DATE, THEREFORE, SHOULD BE DISCARDED HENCEFORTH AND NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL OF THEM TO REPENT, CONFESS THEIR SINS AND DO RESTITUTION AND RETURN THE GOSPEL TO THE TRUE GOSPEL - SEEK YE FIRST…!
IN TEARS FOR NIGERIA, THE ARMY (THE MILITARY), THE POLICE AND OTHER EQUALLY ‘DEAD’ INSTITUTIONS IN ‘DEAD’ NIGERIA
I’m writing and asking as a former Barracks boy, and in tears for the army/the military/the police, the Nigerian people, and THE HOUSE OF NIGERIA.
But why have the military refused to return to the barracks since the end of the military governance in Nigeria in 1999.
THE CIVILIAN EFFECT AND THE BATTLE OF BANEX: A PSYCHOANALYTICAL EXAMINATION OF A PEOPLE IN CHAOTIC AND FRUSTRATING TIMES
The Price of failing to see the handwriting on the wall:
The military and the police like the blind bat have lost the plot, focus, bearing and glory, and like the eagle downed by a dexterous hunter, merely flapping its wings now all over the place such that in the hands of the wanton boys, the all-powerful eagle is a mere fly.
And just as the wanton boys no longer dread the fallen eagle, even though with fractured wings, their civilian compatriots, having been driven to the point of no return, have begun to counter the authority of the military and the police very fiercely and ferociously too, to the point of now returning slap for slap; fire for fire; gun for gun; bullets for bullets; lalabu for bulala; armoured cars for armoured cars; drones for drones; artillery for artillery with their civilian effect. The most recent of this counter offensive being the Okuama Resolve and the Banexgeddon. And Banexgeddon was not when the army/military met their waterloo nor the end of the battle/enmity between them and their bloody civilian compatriots, but the beginning of such many, many affronts/confrontations/battles to come. And with the newfound strength, boldness, courage and resolve by the civil populace coupled with the power of the civilian effect, the milie are in for a very hard and tough time with their civilian compatriots.
Not being insensitive, our heart and prayer go out to the families of all the soldiers killed at Okuama. These our soldiers dead and our Okuama compatriots were the victims of the degeneracy of the military and the police from their Olympian heights of yore to the bottomless pit of ignominy; from the top most height of integrity and dignity to potopoto Island; from the place of unparalleled loyalty to fatherland and unalloyed patriotism to the Island of pomotopia; from the place of glory and untouchability to Banexland of a punch bag, where those they called BLOODY CIVILAIN yesterday, now make a public show of them, demonstrating that the ‘bloody civilian’ effect is more powerful and superior to the milie and Ipolohi (Yala, for police) effect!
Banexgeddon was telling the soldiers thus: “You woman sojas wey no fit defeat Boko for nineteen krididi, wan come shakara us in the only place we can call our collective or national rendezvous – THE UNITY CITY, eh, eh? You these agbayas and Baba oloshi wey no fit fight Boko, no be only IFOB (IPOB) una sabi chase about and kill or parade naked when you dey leave Asari and Boko to waka about the place, commot ya re! You think BAT’s “full authority” go fit make you (to) drive us comot here? Here na Abuja, our common Common or our Commonwealth…I beg go siddon dey look anyaya like Lookman. Abi no be idleness dey bring una out of una smelly-smelly barracks to come terrorise those you think are soft targets.
Who you think dey eat BAT in we obodo, ocha (Yala, for country) or ilu Naija?
Abi you wan throw ‘way dey BAT again, or we go use our new found civilian effect to chase both of una comot leave road.
If army no get work to do, carry them all go Sambisa or make them go do farm or plant trees in the desert under its very searing heat!
Of a truth, the military have failed to see and acknowledge the signs of the time and the BIG handwriting on the Naija Wall, lest they would have known that every Nigerian in every nook and cranny of the Nigerian Federation is not only frustration itself, but walking time bomb; super active and supra-eruptive volcano; super charged-super high voltage transformer, ready to blow up any time or better still, a highly inflammable substance ready to explode with even the dimmed light of a cigarette stub dropped from a region between the sky and the earth by an evil bat!
OF IHIALAKA (YALA, FOR FREEBIE) & FREEBIENOMICS (MANNALLIATIVES): TOWARDS THE ALMAJIRIZATION OF THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE
Country people, Oka Akpabio, me I no wan do mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa-o, I mean my “brothers” and sisters, e wonder me why BAT no get a (common) sound mind in a sound body like the motto of ALADURA COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOL, ANTHONY VILLAGE, LAGOS, NIGERIA, WEST AFRICA, SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE the author’s alma mater to know pe over mannalliathieves is turning the Nigerian people into economic eunuchs and political ukpopi (Yala, for he-goats)!
“Brothers” and sisters, make una helep me whisper into the ‘deaf’ ears of BAT and Shetty: Give not fish to the people, but teach the people how to fish; give not lemonade to the people; but give the people lemons to make/manufacture/produce their own lemonade.
At their worst, palliatives are nothing but political gba mi la ti (slaps)!

A NOTE TO THE GUTTER ‘PROFESSOR’ & DIVISOR-IN-CHIEF
Lest I forget, can someone tell that hunter of food on the table, Ishaq Akintola, ‘Professor’ of Amal(a)ology, Gbegriology, Pomotology, Divide & Rule Politics/Religion that the Sultan of Sokoto, Brigadier General Muhammadu Sa’adu Abubakar IV is not the Sultan of Nigeria nor the Sultan of the Nigerian people, but the Sultan of Sokoto with very restrictive/limited jurisdictions and power.
This ever-willing tool in the hands of his financiers must hurry to Ojaja’s palace in Ile-Ife for someone in the palace to take him to his ancestors’ compound.
This efulefu ‘Professor’ of Gutterology must be told that he is a mere cattle egret on the hunch back of his host, pretending always to be a cow, always playing up the old and worn-out card of divide and rule, pitting the Nigerian and global Muslim community against their Nigerian/worldwide Christians brethren.
A true scholar would seek to unite the nation and the world, and not revelling perpetually in dividing the Muslims and their Christian brethren for the sake of amala and other crumbs on his second hand table.
When a scholar does not have an iota knowledge of the fact that whether Judaism, Christianity or Islam, they are all of Abrahamic roots, including not knowing that all humanity is one, all the peoples of the world is one people, hence all of us are children of Abraham, all the world is therefore, invited to join me in telling Ishaqkunu to shut up, and remain permanently so until when he will meet with his Maker to answer for his stock in trade of putting a sword on the thing that binds humanity together as one, including sowing the seed of division both in Nigeria and in the world.
At the end of the day, what is Judaism, what is Christianity and what is Islam, but one branch of faith with the same message, all rooted in monotheism and having roots in Abraham. Thus, whether Judaism, Christianity or Islam, we are all children of (Father) Abraham!
But why should any scholar worth their salt make it a life’s calling to be ardently, fanatically and satanically promoting a foreign religion…. for amala, ewa, eba, fufu, pomo, gbegri?
By the way, who dey bankroll Akintola and his more blessings sah MURIC. Can Punch, The Guardian, The Daily Post, Vanguard, NTA, FRCN and Sahara Reporters find out and tell the nation please?
