Dear Nigerians,
Leave everything & watch the 1993 presidential debate between Abiola & Alhaji Bashir Tofa.
MKO was fiercely against the IMF & the World Bank. He was against Naira Devaluation & IMF loans. He kicked against wasteful spending.
He stood for FREE education, not student loan.
In fact, Chief MKO won the 1993 presidential election after defeating Tofa in that debate. Nigerians saw his exceptionalism that day & voted overwhelmingly for Kashimawo. It was a Muslim-Muslim ticket that offered REAL hope.
Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola was firmly against the International Monetary Fund (IMF) & the World Bank. He viewed these Bretton Woods institutions & their structural adjustment programs (SAP) as exploitative & designed to ensnare developing nations into debt traps & neo-colonial reliance.
In fact, he criticized the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP), a program of the IMF harshly. MKO was a Capitalist with Socialist ideals.
Key aspects of his economic vision were:
Farewell to Poverty: His manifesto proposed an economic framework that rejected the World Bank & IMF loans & structural adjustments.
Alternative Funding: Instead of devaluing the currency or taking conditional loans, Chief MKO planned to fund a nationwide free health & free education by cutting government waste & securing more profits from oil companies.
National Sovereignty: MKO was against neo-colonialism. As an international businessman, he argued that Nigeria had no business letting young IMF officials dictate its internal policies.
Today, JUNE 12 People are implementing SAP 2.0. They are running away from debates. They have gone against everything MKO stood for.
His HOPE '93 "Farewell to Poverty" was largely a ‘people-centric’ manifesto, anchored on democracy, social justice, agric revolution, poverty eradication, & anti-imperialism.
He promised to write off 10 years of taxes for private businesses that went into farming. He was ready to mechanize the whole value chain.
1993 was the fairest & freest election in Nigeria. The irony is, it was the military that conducted that election, before it was ultimately annulled.
Today, June 12 People cannot conduct a free election. The beneficiaries of JUNE 12 declare Oro on Election Day, & snatch ballot boxes.
They mutilate result sheets, compromise the IREV, & tell you to go to court. They plant their surrogates in opposition parties & call it a Master Strategy. June 12 People are no democrats, they are worse than Abacha.
They work against everything that MKO stood for. Under JUNE 12 People, Nigerians have no human rights. They use the police & the DSS to kidnap the critics of their government. They borrowed Nigeria to stupor. They plan to more, & they will squander it. And when the IMF or World Bank says “jump!” They ask, “how high?”
Recall that Muhammadu Buhari participated in the 2011 presidential debate, where he debated Nuhu Ribadu & Ibrahim Shekarau. However, he did not attend the 2007, 2015, & 2019 debates.
JUNE 12 People have never participated in any presidential debates. They will run away from the 2027 debates. They hate accountability.
MKO always quoted statistics like the man they attack in Nigeria today. The candidate they call “Obi China.” MKO articulated his thoughts. He was no bulaba. He stood for the poor. JUNE 12 People are there for themselves & the rich only.
They are asking you to renew their mandate—so they could do the things they promised you before. They will remain a fraud in my book.
NOTHING IS PERMANENT!
By Mr. Donald Duke
"When I See Public Office Holders Misbehaving, I Used To Have This Thought, "Probably They Do Not Have a Good Wife/Husband or a Good Marriage"
As governor, I was on call 24/7 sometimes.
I got very angry and could take my anger on anyone.
So, my chief of protocol bore the brunt one day.
I had a reception for guests and he placed them in rooms, not the way I would have done it, but he didn’t do anything wrong.
He used his own judgment.
I would have done it the other way, but I over reacted.
I spoke very harsh to him.
While I was doing this, my wife walked in and didn’t say a word.
She came in, did some other things in my office and left.
When I got back home in the evening, I’d forgotten about it. It’s just a normal event in the day.
My wife went on her knees in front of me, looked straight into my eyes like a penitent sinner and said, "The way you spoke to this guy was wrong and we have to go and apologise to him."
She said I had no reason to speak to anyone like that.
I said, "What! He did this..." and she interrupted me, "Yes, I heard everything.
"The way you would have done it was different, but he didn’t do a bad thing. He used his discretion. So, what are you going to do? You have destroyed his self esteem. Tomorrow, he is not going to do anything discretionally.
He would wait for orders and then you will get irritated at that. You have made him lose his self-confidence and that is wrong. You need to go and apologise to him. Why should you speak to someone like that? Because you are governor?"
I ignored her, stood up and went into the bedroom, still fuming. As she will always do if she wants to have her way, my wife followed me into the bedroom and went on her knees again to plead the cause of a man as if he had begged her to plead his case.
"You have to do it this night and not tomorrow" because I kept saying I would do it tomorrow.
Onarie, still on her knees and almost in tears, insisted and said, "No, tonight. That man is not going to sleep well and so you do not have the right to sleep well when he was not sleeping well."
Clearly defeated, I got into the car and we drove to his house.
His gate man froze when he discovered I was the one. In his confusion, he did not know how to properly open the gate till Onarie told him to take two deep breaths before attempting to open the door again!
We were ushered into the living room by an equally confused maid who had to stumble over chairs.
His wife turned in.
They were about to go to bed.
She was in her night gown.
She saw me and was scared with the expression of, ‘Okay, you have come to fire my husband finally’.
The guy came downstairs, petrified as my wife and I walked into the private living room.
The wife wanted to get up and leave.
I told the guy I came to apologise for my rude and harsh behaviour towards him and I told him am sorry.
They all got emotional but I got relieved.
It was like a heavy load had been taken off me.
I still get upset with things going up wrong, but I don’t get to a point I feel I am too big to say sorry.
And am learning to treat people better.
You can be referred to as "Your Excellency" today, but, for the best, it will only last eight years.
Senator?
Minister?
It is not forever!
Permanent Sec? It is still not permanent and we all know it's just a title and not a life long position.
Director?
CEO?
DG?
etc.
Life is a stage, a platform for services unto God.
So let everyone take heed. Forgive and have regard for Human beings"
The former minister of power is expressing his dissatisfaction with APC creating several bands.
He realized there was APC band A, Band B, Band C and Band D. That he belonged no band.
Adelabu expressed that he while some wards exprience grid collapse, result were still counted.
APC didn't do well at all.
Police Officer Threatens To Kill Civilian For Filming
Police officer Newton Isokpehi is facing backlash after a viral video showed him threatening to shoot anyone who records him while on duty, despite a recent court ruling affirming Nigerians’ right to film police officers in public.
The officer later released an apology video, claiming the comments were made out of frustration, but the incident has reignited conversations around police brutality online.

The man kidnapped and beheaded is crying out to the Government to stop playing politics with the lives of citizens and prioritize security across the country. Today it is one family mourning, tomorrow it could be another innocent Nigerian.
People can no longer travel freely, sleep peacefully, or go about their daily activities without fear. Communities are living in panic while criminals continue to operate boldly. This is no longer just news headlines, it is a national emergency.
Government at all levels must rise beyond political interests, media statements, and empty promises. Nigerians deserve protection, justice, and safety. Human life must become more important than power struggles and political calculations.
Nobody is truly safe when insecurity is allowed to spread unchecked.
Enough is enough. End the killings. End the kidnappings. Protect the people.

Most married men are sexually starved and they are suffering.
Yesterday I had a coversation with a sex therapist and he gave me the reasons why so many marriages slowly become completely sexless.

“I went to the fueling station to get fuel this morning and it turns out from N1,225, the price has gone up to N1,335. The price went up in the space of one day. My question is, with all the subsidy being pulled out by the government, what have you done to stop the people from facing head on these challenges that the economy is bringing to them?”

Terrorists are planning attacks on key infrastructure in Abuja and Niger state, according to a memo by the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS).
The Associated Press, which obtained the memo, reported that the planned targets include the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport and a prison facility in Abuja, as well as a military detention centre in neighbouring Niger state.
@PHEDconnect@PHEDconnect Now that you have reduced gas supply and you are unable to meet your obligations of 20hrs light to your customers, how do you intend to compensate them for failing to meet up as per your agreement/promise? Telling us the challenge is not enough?
@General_Somto The is purely lack of organisation on the part of the vendor that was given the contract to cook the food. The arrangement was poor otherwise, they ought not to struggle for pack of rice. Everything in Nigeria is always a problem.
@PHEDconnect@PHEDconnect Now that you have reduced gas supply and you are unable to meet your obligations of 20hrs light to your customers, how do you intend to compensate them for failing to meet up as per your agreement/promise? You think mere telling us the challenge is enough?
@TobiAjayi15@TobiAjayi15 If that is the rules at the salon place to instill discipline there is nothing you will do if she actually breaks the rules. She is your wife at home but she has to obey her boss at work place. it has nothing with bigman's wife or cheer punishment
@omoelerinjare@omoelerinjare What you share here is unnecessary to me. As long as the patient is not asking you for money neither did he say I cannot pay. He knows what took him to the hospital. Remember noone like hospital but when condition demand it there is no option.
