Murtala was a baby war criminal. His biggest crime was the Asaba massacre during the civil war where he ordered the murder of about 700 innocent people.
Henry Kissinger, who ordered Murtala's assassination was a real war criminal who was responsible for literally tens of millions of deaths across Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Latin America, and he lived a long and happy life. Despite being many prders of magnitude worse than the worst version of Murtala, he died just 3 years ago at age 100 surrounded by his children and grandchildren, with the genocidal American war machine he built still busy industrially murdering black and brown people all over the world.
So I'm no longer interested in any sermons about whatever Murtala Mohammed did wrong. The world clearly doesn't run on morality tales and if Africans are willing to give grace to the likes of Kissinger, Obama, Bush, Biden etc, then I can definitely give grace to Murtala Mohammed. He was a far smaller sinner than any of the other names.
They hate Ibrahim Traore. They hate Assimi Goita. They hate General Tchiani. They hate the AES. But they love Bola Tinubu. They love Paul Biya. They hate every revolutionary and love the sellouts.
It's not Nigerians that GEJ was scared of - it was the US government.
Which is the problem I have with him. If you don't go into Aso Rock fully prepared to die, then why are you even there? If you know that they knocked off Murtala, Abacha and Yar'adua and you still chose to occupy that seat, that means you were prepared to die and you had made peace with it.
So I don't understand why he was so terrified of facing Gaddafi's fate. If I ever have the opportunity to be in charge of Africa's most important country, I'd consider it a privilege to die if that's what it took to improve 200 million lives.
Anyway, to each his own. Some countries are blessed with Ibrahim Traores. Others have weak men who piss in their pants whenever someone mentions the word "America" near them. As I've said before, if Nigerians go extinct, I hope our Sahelian brothers inherit Nigeria and make better use of it.
Stupid Nigerian: Iran should not have nukes. You want a Muslim country to have nuclear weapons? They will use them to wipe out the whole world and everyone not Muslim.
ME: Pakistan is a Muslim country with nukes, and you are still alive. Why has Pakistan not wiped you off?
Stupid Nigerian: Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.
ME: But only a Christian country has ever used a nuclear weapon on civilians, not military assets. In fact, twice.
Are Christians still not terrorists by your standards?
You see, sometimes stupidity is genetic. Some of you were born naturally Stupid because your parents were stupid.
That is why, as stupid as you are, you should marry someone smart; some of your children can escape this stupidity from your gene pool.
I was explaining to someone earlier today that the Oyibos also evade tax despite having far more reasons than Nigerians to pay tax. Not to mention that Nigerian actually pay more taxes unofficially than Oyibo.
A typical example was when Donald Trump was running for office the first time. He was asked if he takes advantage of loopholes (e.g declaring fake losses) to evade federal tax.
Donald replied and I quote, “of course I use it (the loophole), & so do George Soros, Jeff Bezos and all the other billionaires Hillary (Clinton) is getting campaign funding from”
I wish Nigerians can stop thinking that they are the “worst” people on earth or cursed as black man. Yes, we may be stupid (very many of us are), but we are not worse than Oyibo in terms of “morals.”
The only thing keeping Oyibo in their good behavior is LEADERSHIP. A leadership that for the most part doesn’t place anyone above the law. We don’t have that kind of leadership in Nigeria.
If Nigerians can change their mindset to recognize that LEADERSHIP is the source of all their problems, the fight for a New Nigeria will make huge progress.
But what do I know? I don’t wear suit on my profile pic and don’t throw dictionary words around. So I don’t expect you to take me seriously.
For those confused, here’s a former MOSSAD director admitting that they treat injured ISIS and Al-Qaeda fighters. “it’s for humanitarian reasons, as it’s always good to treat your enemies in a humane way” he says. But when asked if they can treat injured Hezbollah fighters too, he replies with an emphatic NO.
What other proof do you need about the real sponsors of terrorism?
If I became president of Nigeria tomorrow, I wouldn't go around screaming about the dictatorship of the proletariat and printing agbada with hammer and sickle design.
Why?
Well besides it being THE fastest way to get sanctioned and bombed to oblivion by the Epstein regime before you have time to consolidate,
You have to understand that most Nigerians DO NOT hate the compradors.
They ASPIRE to be like them.
They will not attack Elumelu for you.
They won't lift a finger against Dangote.
Fuck, they'd rather collect 20k from Cubana chief priest rather than join your communist rally.
We have ZERO class consciousness and the kilometer-deep ethnic and religious divisions make it delusional to try and engineer one.
One sermon from Adeboye or even Odumeje branding your communist movement a movement from Satan and you're finished.
One impassioned speech from Sultan of Sokoto and his adherents will stone you in the market.
So I wouldn't bother ramming my head against that wall.
Instead, I'd borrow a leaf from Lenin's book.
He promised peace, land and bread.
I will promise an uncompromising war against corruption, insecurity and poverty.
These are ideas that every Nigerian regardless of tribe or ethnicity instinctively understands.
On corruption, I wouldn't go on NTA and wax lyrical about the need for class consciousness, and to rise up against the rich and powerful.
I'd simply fill EFCC with patriots and use it to persecute the same oligarchs bleeding Nigeria dry.
" Presidency recovers 100B Naira NNPC loot, commences bulidng of 10,000 hospitals" is a headline no pastor can mobilize against.
I'd unshackle the hands of our security architecture and use them to crush terrorists.
I'd hold meaningless meetings with US officials and give meaningless speeches about cooperation and "robust US-Nigeria relations"
I'd do my best to build a security framework with China and Russia, but you have to understand that these guys can only support us materially. They won't put boots on the ground or risk a direct confrontation with another nuclear power.
@gfy_26 *B* said, "your sexual appeal matters, don't let trading take that away from you" but who exactly are you sexually appealing to? Strangers online? 🤦
Ronaldo is hounded for things others are praised for, especially Messi.
Take the nickname “Penaldo.” When you hear it, you’d think Ronaldo built his entire career on penalties.
The irony is that Ronaldo did not start out as an elite penalty taker. Early in his career, penalties were a weakness. He missed important penalties, including one in the 2008 Champions League final shootout against Chelsea. Back then, he wasn’t called “Penaldo.” He was mocked and criticised.
What happened next is what Ronaldo has done throughout his career: he identified a weakness and worked relentlessly until it became a strength. He went from being an inconsistent penalty taker to one of the greatest the game has ever seen.
Yet instead of being praised for improving a flaw in his game, critics began using “Penaldo” to diminish his achievements.
What’s even more ironic is that Messi holds the record for the most penalties scored in World Cup history, Champions League history, and La Liga history. Yet the “Penaldo” label is reserved almost exclusively for Ronaldo.
As Ronaldo’s goalscoring numbers became impossible to ignore, football discourse suddenly became obsessed with “non-penalty goals.” It felt as though the conversation kept changing whenever Ronaldo excelled. First goals were counted. Then the type of goals started being counted.
Ronaldo was mocked when he missed penalties. Mocked when he took penalties. And mocked when he became one of the greatest penalty takers in football history.
For many fans, that is why the standards have never felt the same. Ronaldo’s story is one of turning weaknesses into strengths, only to see those strengths used against him in the debate over greatness.
Genocide is apparently justified because Hamas are "terrorists," but this ACTUAL terrorist with a $10 million US govt bounty on his head is now a "world leader."
If the empire tells you "Good afternoon," check your watch. It's probably midnight.
1. Pablo Ecowas creates his own Brownshirts/Teanooboo Youth Brigade/Youths Earnestly Ask for Teanooboo.
2. Freudian slip by NOA boss lists "Crime, Lawlessness, Abuse and Drugs" as 4 of Nigeria's 7 new core values.
Oh well.
