Olatunji Dare, one of Nigeria’s finest satirists,wrote a piece titled ‘⁦Buhari’s Double’ on Nov 27: thenationonlineng.net/matters-miscel…

Pastor of one of Nigeria’s LARGEST CHURCHES cites the SATIRE in a sermon (apparently yest) as evidence PMB likely dead

VIDEO:
I know the Bishop has always detested PMB (its a free world, really, the right to dislike anyone is guaranteed constitutionally atink), but I don’t understand why he keeps going this far to peddle/amplify (from the pulpit) falsehood and disinformation about him. Really puzzling.
April 2010: Bishop Oyedepo yest confirmed that he actually visited ailing President Yar’Adua at the Presidential Villa but declined to give details... Pressed to speak on the president’s health, he said “that is personal. I owe the public no explanation.” google.com/amp/s/www.vang…
UPDATE: Olatunji Dare has had to issue a DISCLAIMER on the FRONT PAGE of the Nation today, to “insist” that his November 27 piece titled ‘Buhari’s Double’ “was conceived and executed in a satirical spirit. And that is authoritative.”

You haven’t heard the last of the Amaechi ‘tapes’. We are dealing with Principalities & Powers, who‘ll go to any lengths to fight dirty.

1. One of the fraudulently edited clips:

2. The original clip below. See how they edited out the ‘Corruption’ context
Let me summarize it for you. You can confirm what I’m saying in the audio clips above: the published one (taken from the @PremiumTimesng website / YouTube), and the original clip.

You be the judge, and check out the subtle, fraudulent, but professionally done edits yourself.
All over the clips are SUBTLE alterations like this, intended to change context. Cut out a few clarifying words here; join two unrelated bits very cleanly & professionally to alter the meaning/context

It’s actually very depressing - that anyone would go to these devious lengths.

#Nigeria’s military used a speech by Donald Trump to justify shooting at protesters in October. We investigated what happened and uncovered that an elite battalion fired machine guns into a crowd of unarmed marchers. nyti.ms/2GwdKAW
The military @HQNigerianArmy made several questionable claims:

1. The marchers blocked traffic.
2. The marchers attacked a military checkpoint with weapons and rocks.
3. Only 3 people were killed.
We reviewed hundreds of videos and pictures, went to the crime scene in #Abuja, interviewed survivors and talked to the military. Here’s how we did it - and what we found out.

Good morning.
The recently released video that went viral where SATIRE was MISinterpreted, used as a tool to AUTHENTICATE that #BuhariDouble or #JubrilFromSudan is a possibility shows you the reality of our respected voices.
Welcome to #SatireCongregation
Since we need to start elementary class afresh on twitter because of our highly educated folks who have become part of #SatireCongregation, we need to get it DEFINED:
What exactly is the English definition of SATIRE that our Professors, Pro-Chancellors, PHD holders did not get?
SATIRE:
/satʌɪə/
noun
the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
Helloo, #SatireCongregation,
"to expose and criticize people's STUPIDITY"

#Nigeria the Budget Office put out 2017 fiscal accounts which showed that FY deficit came in at NGN3.8tr (3.3% of nom GDP) and above the 3% fiscal responsibility act. As usual revenues missed thanks to usual over-optimistic non-oil rev assumptions and higher JV payments
But interestingly, capex spending came in a record NGN1.44tr (1.3% of GDP and around 66% of target) with overall budget execution at 87% suggesting some credibility in implementation despite the costs driven by higher drawdowns by Works, Power and Housing
Debt service/revenues printed at 69% (adjusted for sinking fund payments to retire debt 60%) but up from the 47% in 2016. Overall debt tracked higher due to increasingly more expensive borrowings over the last three years - a derivative of CBN tightening.

UNFAITHFUL SHEPHERDS

"Many years ago, the then president of The National Council of Churches warned that the danger of the great religious awakening taking place in our country, might become fanatical and be carried into our political and business life!
"Perhaps this was a fair assessment, that is, if you conflate #Christian #Zionism with religious awakening. Unfortunately, these "fanatical" #Evangelicals have 0 faith in the #Christian religion to which they give empty lip service--while paying homage to those who hate #Christ.
"For lack of faith in the actual #Bible, #Evangelicals make Scofield’ Notes, (Scofield! A drunkard and a con-man allied with the Satanist, Darby) --#Evangelicals have turned Scofield’s NOTES into a DIABOLICAL FORCE in our #national life.
