He is proof that no one needs to share money, rice, meat, or salt to attract a mammoth crowd & massive votes. He demystified the APC & stomach infrastructure, & they hate him for that. His Presidency is a threat to the system. Can you imagine a Nigeria without vote buying?
Against all know AML/CFT, Cashless policies.
Sharing of cash in election season.
My God, please when will all institutions of govt defend the Rule of Law to full force?
It looks like the Director of Public Prosecutions in the Federal Ministry of Justice has now taken over from @OfficialDSSNG, the prosecution of former Chairman of @NigBarAssoc, @GTsenyen, in the matter of his post on their village WhatsApp platform in Shendam, Plateau State, involving the land matter with the current president of @NGCourtofAppeal.
They are that idle?!
Budget for hospital $2m
Budget to share cash N2m
The politicians receive $2m for a hospital, then distribute N2m to the voters who were meant to benefit from the hospital.
They use the $2m to send their families to hospital in Dubai and live lavishly.
The voters go to church to pray for good health.
Next budget, rinse and repeat.
Latest psy-op in Ghana.
I'd tread carefully around this handle that was also behind the "Islamic leader calls for beheading" video that was flying everywhere last week.
Someone is trying to stoke nonexistent religious animosity in Ghana. And this is the distribution channel.
He was found roaming the streets of Dallas, Texas 🇺🇸. His name is Philip Elobuike, and he says he is from Enugu State, Nigeria.
Philip mentioned two names that may help reconnect him with his family:
Evelyn Elobuike
Josephine Elobuike
Please share till it gets to his family!
Please, sir!
The #KillerSenator is still walking the streets, exercising his right to Cannibal Mandibles.
What do you think wld have happened if he were to be a member of another party other than @OfficialAPCNg?
Yesterday, I was in Bauchi to honour, for the fifth time, the invitation of the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation to its dialogue themed: “Beyond Elections: Can Political Parties and the Judiciary Save African Democracy?”
I thank President Goodluck Jonathan for his selfless sacrifice and unwavering commitment to building a better Nigeria and a better Africa. I also commend the Chairman, President Olusegun Obasanjo, for his enduring contributions to peace, unity and justice across Africa. My appreciation also goes to the host, the Governor of Bauchi State, for his good work and for providing the platform for this important conversation.
My modest contribution at the event was to highlight my concern that African democracy, using Nigeria as a case study, has deteriorated to such an extent that we are approaching a point where we may no longer be able to meaningfully say that democracy exists.
I recalled how I approached the courts when I believed my mandate had been stolen in Anambra. At that time, the judiciary demonstrated the independence expected of an arm of government. It upheld the law and restored the will of the people, without any relationship whatsoever between me and the judges who handled the matter. That was democracy at work.
Today, however, those who break the law are often the first to tell you to “go to court.”
Our electoral management body, staffed by highly educated Nigerians, including many professors, is increasingly accused of enabling electoral malpractice and the emergence of people who are not qualified or do not possess the mandate of the people. Our lawmakers have removed forgery as an electoral offence, while some senior advocates appear to defend or normalise actions that should ordinarily attract condemnation. Our religious leaders sometimes pray for blessings upon political actors accused of misappropriating the commonwealth. And, most troubling of all, we now hear allegations of judges chanting, “On your mandate we shall stand.”
When the very institutions established to protect democracy begin to accommodate its destruction, we must stop pretending that everything is normal.
I earnestly call for sober reflection and honest thinking. Socrates said that “the unexamined life is not worth living.” A nation, too, must examine itself if it intends to survive.
We must halt this drift towards institutional decay and redirect our attention towards building a country that we and the generations that come after us, can be proud of.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Her sunglasses are worth more than what is being shared
What is shared is the pension and gratuity of that policeman standing there
Again, the failure to connect this cash to the absence of social services is baffling
How can one credibly speak of a judiciary in a country where evils like these are commonplace? How does one wrap the brain around the knowledge that NOTHING will happen to this judge, for as long as the existing (IL)legal order continues to endure? Chi’moo! They’ve killed Nigeria
