🇳🇬 #ThankANigerianSoldierforChristmas

I need assistance, yesterday 23rd December 2018 I was connected to the family of a Nigerian soldier who is in the war front fighting the Boko Haram insurgency and I sent them my own little token for Christmas please join me.

HOW? 👇
WHY?
December-January is the season most families will be in festive mood, celebrating, exchanging gifts, laughing, sharing memories, professing love but not so for several of our compatriots serving in our Armed Forces, mostly in Northern Nigeria.
Most spent Christmas in battle against the Boko Haram insurgency began in 2009. The long-term method of wishing them well is for government to provide them with more than enough of their needs including making the welfare of family members left behind a matter of priority.
Citizens should give our brave men and women all the support they need, call them out when they go wrong but continuously encourage them when they do well, the terrorists only need one successful operation to gain the attention of the media to attract our collective anger.
We always forget that for each day we do not read about a successful Boko Haram operation, each day a bomb did not maim our fellow citizens, every single minute the terrorists fail to kill, a soldier is paying with his life, 👇🇳🇬
a family is receiving the news of a fallen soldier, an injured soldiers is in pain, in his own blood in the hospital, so please join me this Christmas in adopting a family of a soldier for Christmas. 🇳🇬👇
What Can I do?

*Get gift/s no matter how big or small.
*Visit any military base (Army, Airforce, Navy even Police) close to you.
*Or ask a friend if they know a soldier deployed.👇🇳🇬
*Politely ask for family members of soldiers in the front line.
*Give them the gift/s for Christmas and tell them you are doing it to thank them for their sacrifice.
*Please do not publish photos of family members for their own safety.

Regards

.@InibeheEffiong was tagging those with contrary opinion yesterday as “pseudo pro-democracy activists”, and today you are supporting a military coup in an African state. Let me be clear, military intervention is NEVER AN OPTION. The people do resist and do win.
If we have to call on the military to take over governments, we probably will only have about 4 African countries without military rule as a result of dissatisfaction or long stay in office, constitutional removal of unpopular government is a long process, but it is enduring.
.@InibeheEffiong you cannot guarantee that the Gabon military takeover is for patriotic reasons, giving a military take over a blanket support is not what a “constitutional lawyer” should do, it sends a signal to the military across Africa they can intervene when they feel like.

The one who left Nigeria after @adeyanjudeji was arrested to come spend Christmas and New year with his family who live here, aside TWITTER he never attended any #FreeDejiAdeyanju protest. accusing me of not speaking up?

Make use of your search button, you will find my position.
I am never inhibited from saying when I disagree with the government and some agencies of government despite my desire for the government to be successful, if you care about @adeyanjudeji who was a frontline @OfficialPDPNig activist in 2015 you will be attending protests for him.
Let me restate my position again.
@PoliceNG and individuals are right to seek redress in court over libel or other charge, @adeyanjudeji will prove his innocence in court, the one I oppose is digging up a murder case of over 10 years, a case he was discharged and acquitted for.

Revisionism promoted by @FordFoundation
I am Yoruba-Nigerian
Our diversity is what makes us Nigerian, it isn't being Igbo, Igala, Fulani, Tiv etc that's the source of disunity, it is the lack of equity based on class, ethnicity, gender, religion, who we are is not what is wrong
You can not promote Nigerian unity with propaganda clips to suppress identity of the component units, that is counter productive, that is what the British did for exploitative reasons. Recognising identity and promoting equity, justice amongst the units is key to National unity.
1 million @FordFoundation slogans such as "I am not Yoruba I am Nigerian" is not what promotes National unity or National identity.
Making sure all ethnic nationalities have a sense of belonging even as they promote their identity is what will bring unity. Our diversity is key.

@osita_chidoka ‘s Faux Decency ~ Kennedy Emetulu
“Mr @osita_chidoka and all those who think like him may mean well but they need to be guided right. First, every true patriot needs to condemn anybody who plays politics with our fallen soldiers. But it is perfectly legitimate for the Nigerian people to call Govt to account”
“If you want to see that as mocking the government , that is your cup of burukutu! People’s sons, dads, brothers, cousins, uncles, nephews, relations, fiends are being sacrificed needlessly by bloody greed and you think playing politics with words and pictures is the answer?”

Terrorists are killing our soldiers but the government claims we are winning the war against terror in 🇳🇬.

The 🇳🇬 media is silent thanks to the work done by the Minister of Information. Reportage is suppressed, no one cares

What did we vote Jonathan out for again in 2015?
One of many people who assumed having a former general in charge will make a difference. Alas one is 100% wrong.

Soldiers are now buried at war front, no public records of deaths. To think the clowns in Aso Rock swore this will never happened under their watch is painful
The 🇳🇬 state is more interested in using the military to kill Shites than providing the required resources for our soldiers to combat the enemies.

The Emperor in the villa can do no wrong, his followers have no sense of duty to the country but the Emperor.

Why!!!!

Some of the core drivers of the religio-political violence in #Nigeria are failures to harmonise religious, political & civic impulses. I will try to summarise and discuss some of them here. #NotAnotherNigerian @QuilliamOrg
1. #Nigeria is a civic state, with much devout religious practice, mainly Christian and Muslim. Religious loyalty should not undermine civic loyalty, but sometimes does. Eg should Muslims be concerned about the 'ummah' & Christians about fellow believers only? #NotAnotherNigerian
2. The #Nigerian state apparatus, including the legal system, is heavily influenced by Britain. The Muslim areas used to have traditional Sharia, and were part of the Sokoto Caliphate. Sharia always had many interpretations: many of these were civic in nature. #NotAnotherNigerian

1. In 2012, Boko Haram a renowned terrorist group opted for dialogue with the Federal Government under @GEJonathan. The group according to media reports nominated President Buhari as mediator. That's a landmark historical event Nigerians can't ignore.

This is a thread 👇
2. In 2013, President Buhari faulted the Federal Government's action against the terrorist group. He accused the government of killing and destroying their houses while the Niger Delta militants were given special treatment by the government.
3. In 2014, the media reported an attack on President Buhari in Kaduna. Buhari said he was the target of the bomber while his loyalist Rotimi Fashakin said “I’m sure political Boko Haram are behind the attack”. Boko Haram did not claim the attack till date.
