The Unmasking Of Bwala The Liar– 3 Huge Lessons For All Political Prostitutes And Ideological Turncoats
The problem is not that politicians switch sides.
The problem is when they deny what they clearly said before.
Here’s my take on the whole shameful Bwala drama. Watch this and share
The Mayor Of Fadeyi
*Please share if it resonates*
The Daniel Bwala interview with Mehdi Hassan on @AlJazeera ‘s Head to Head program was a disaster of gargantuan proportions for Nigeria as a country, for President Tinubu’s administration, and for Bwala himself. Of these three, the last is the least important, because Bwala’s track record speaks for itself.
The interview made a spectacle of Nigeria, not just because of the reach of the program globally, but also the format in which there was a global audience in the room itself. What will EACH of those people think about Nigeria after such a fact-based shredding of the country’s leadership and its performance? It was a sad commentary on Nigeria’s political culture in which there are no beliefs, no policies, no ideology, just crass opportunism and the battle for political power. Turn-coatism is “it”.
Second, the fact that Bwala, given his record, is sent out to speak for the President of Nigeria on the international stage says much about the standards by which government in Nigeria recruits people for specific roles. In that universe “loyalty”, fleeting though it may be, is all that counts. Competence doesn’t. Mediocrity reigns.
Thirdly, why appoint former attack dogs of the political opposition as spokespersons and Ambassadors for the administration simply because they have “defected”? The baggage such individuals carry (especially when they did not espouse principled opposition that may later change, as sometimes happens in politics, but rather used incendiary and personalized attacks on President Tinubu)renders such persons lacking in credibility in representational roles. Bwala was left trying to eat his words with bare-faced lies!
I think there are people who could be far more credible spokesmen and women for Nigeria’s government, even with all its underperformance in governance. At least, the discussion will focus on the actual track record of the government, not on the government spokesman’s prior condemnations of that track record.
It was a sad day for our country. I’ve received several calls from friends from various countries around the world. All were in shock and felt sorry for our country to be put in such a spot. So many people are waiting and hoping for when Nigeria will “wake up” and take its rightful place under the sun. The citizens of Nigeria are brilliant, hardworking and respected all over the world, breaking barriers and achieving feats in various spheres. The government and incompetent governance of Nigeria by its politicians remains a sorry tale.
@MoghaluKingsley@AlJazeera Instead of blaming his critics, he needs to apologize for embarrassing his employer and the nation. No courage to own his comments, how in the world can he represent anyone, or the country.
Ketanji Brown Jackson graduated magna cum laude from Harvard-Radcliffe College and cum laude from Harvard Law School where she was an editor of the Harvard Law Review. She had 20 years experience as a lawyer and 10 years experience as a federal judge when she was nominated for the Supreme Court.
They called her a DEI hire.
Mark Wayne Mullin has a high school diploma and a 2 year community college degree in construction management, no military or law enforcement service, and was a cow-calf rancher. He was nominated by Trump as the secretary of Homeland Security.
They have the caucacity to call this meritocracy.
@ruffydfire 2.9trn Naira is a far cry from 6tn Naira, does it mean there was falsification (cooking the books) that only an audit report would reveal? What happens to poor communities who are not able to challenge these types of bogus claims? Obviously, some people were licking their chops
@Bakari_Sellers No, what we need is for prominent Black Leaders across America to coalesce & exercise their collective power across business, sports and entertainment by walking out. Shut the Super Bowl, NBA & college basketball down until the owners/leaders condemn this racism directly.
This man can get away with murder. His political career should have ended when he mocked the disabled reporter, but no. They made excuses for him.
After all the performative piety at the National Prayer Breakfast, today he posts a video depicting former President Barack Obama and his wife as apes.
So much for the act, we’re back to the ugly truth. This man belongs in the gutter. And this is who
@Franklin_Graham and @Paula_White, and white evangelicals are holding up as “saving Christianity.”
Absolutely degenerate.
“You hate Nigeria”
With all of my heart, with every fibre of my being.
Hundreds of people were murdered in one night, in a democratic country, not one word from the government, not a single word.
NOT ONE PRESS RELEASES.
170 people is war numbers, you bastards.
@aonanuga1956 Long live the Fela Movement! The man who saw today, many years ago. It’s still suffering and smiling! Everything still dey scatter…Rest in Heaven the King of Afro Beat!!!

@thecableng Agree, unconscionable and unacceptable processes that cause unnecessary delays.
While you are at it, why is it that your employees outside the country have not received their salaries for several months? This is a major security Risk, Oga. @sightnews@OchiJnr
