I have read a lot of articles, essays, comments and commentaries about Rufai Oseni's style of interviewing guests on ARISE NEWS TELEVISION... Majority of them have been quite venomous and downright acerbic... Does he deserve to be criticised? Why not? All of us who criticise others should expect people to get angry every now and then, but I don't expect them to get so abusive. Anyway.
I'm a big fan of @rufaioseni , warts and all. And the reason is simple. It is about his intellectual prowess. He is sound and confident. His style is unique to him and it fascinates or irritates his critics and admirers differently. I'm writing this to encourage him. He should remain brilliant and focused 💯. GOD bless him mightily... @ruffydfire
On October 25, 2022, long before the 2023 Presidential election, I was interviewed on Channels Tv, by @seunokin , and he asked my reason for not supporting Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. My response must have caught him off guard. I described Tinubu as a "potential dictator..." God knows, that was the honest TRUTH, and a perfect description of how I felt about him.
I got so many calls that night and I stood by my assertion. While TINUBU may be soft-hearted and fabulously or strategically generous, he is surrounded by some incredibly ruthless fanatics whose entire existence depend on him. They detest men of independent means or opinion. I confess to not being able to function in such a toxic environment. So, it was no accident, that I avoided their group in the last 24 years. What's strange, and surprising, is that they still think everyone is a robot they can control. But I chose my FREEDOM, and doubled my personal efforts at succeeding in my modest business... But still they were not happy.
My respect for ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR quadrupled because of his very visible democratic credentials. You will never find political desperados around him. He received countless allegations that I was a Tinubu mole/spy but it never bothered him. He saw my assignment more as that of a professional one that required a technocrat than a hard-core politician. And that was our relationship throughout his campaign, and till this day. He never sought the services of political thugs nor expert riggers despite warnings that some opponent might resort to that. His absolute faith in the rule of Law is extraordinary and remarkable... He has placed his faith in Allah and hopes the Supreme Court will do what is just. He will never allow innocent lives to be wasted on his behalf...
Today, Tinubu's goons have absolutely confirmed our worst fears, that freedom of speech and association would be recklessly curtailed in the days and weeks ahead. But we entertain no fear whatsover.
One thing I'm sure of is that we've seen it all before, and this too shall pass...

When we told them to debate, they refused and they were concerned about sacking me. If they have debated we all would have fine tuned ideas. Face the economic problems and not Rufai.
HAPPY 8 WEEKS ANNIVERSARY TO @RealQueenBee__
SHOW ME SOME LOVE.
HOWEVER, TELL THOSE ENEM!€S OF THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE, THAT THEY WILL NOT HAVE IT EASY ANYMORE.
WE'RE OUT FOR THEM, AND IT'S A PAYBACK TIME, BECAUSE...
A NEW SHERIFF IS IN TOWN!!!
IF A MENTOR IS A CROOK, ALL EYES MUST BE ON HIS MENTEES.
1. The world has now seen how and what he mentors people on.
2. Year after year they gathered for his birthday colloquium. Which of the birthdays?
3. Every single thing he did is crooked and garnished with lies.
4. Not a single truth has been found thus far about him. Not one!
5. Anyone thinking that his mentees won't be bigger crooks ultimately, should think again.
6. Ambode refused to align, and was sacked.
7. Who's more honourable now:
Ambode?
Who sacked him?
Or who he's replaced with?
8. I don't think that anyone fully understands yet what damages this man did as a Governor.
9. I pray he's alive to see his lies unearthed, that he will eventually take his shame home himself when the time comes.
10. Woe unto every single person that knew all these lies and yet worked to impose this disaster on Nigeria.
11. Nigeria will be great again. Let's be going first.
The National broadcaster aired an acceptance speech by an Gubernatorial candidate even when the election wasn’t concluded and INEC had to step in and save the elections in Adamawa, till today no penalty by the media regulators in Nigeria.
No matter the retaliation of isreal, they currently look weakened. How is it possible for Hamas and other terrorist organisations to come together to plan something of this magnitude without Mossad getting a hint of it, coupled with the fact that this is Mossad's primary purpose or area of interest.
I expect the head of Mossad and the prime minister to tender their immediate resignation. Doesn't look good.
They even took over an Israeli military base in Gaza. Lol
As we celebrate David Hundeyin please don't forget: Dr. Jeffrey Guterman he ensured that our voices were louder internationally and local. He was first to call Festus Keyamo Mr Mugu. 😂🤣
The man loves Nigeria 🇳🇬 and wants a better society for us all.
@JeffreyGuterman We ❤️ you
The only journalist you have in mainstream media in Nigeria today, is Rufai Oseni. The rest have brown envelops in their pockets.
THIS IS RUFAI APPRECIATION! We must collectedly protect this golden treasure. 👏
