When did Onnoghen say he “forgot to update his asset declaration”?--A SHORT THREAD

The Buhari Media Centre (BMC) troll and propaganda factory has been running amok with a Jan. 12 Premium Times story that quoted CJN Onnoghen to have purportedly said he
“forgot to update his asset declaration, after the expiration of his 2005 declaration.” I have a lot of respect for the independence, thoroughness, and integrity of Premium Times. Nevertheless, that story provokes many questions.
First, we learn today that the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) didn’t personally serve the CJN any summons. The CCB’s registrar, however, said he served the summons to the CJN’s personal secretary on Friday, January 11. From what transpired at the CCB today, it’s now clear that
the CJN has not yet formally responded to CCB’s charges, so what document did Premium Times quote in its story? What’s more, assuming he did get the summons handed to his personal secretary on the 11 of January, did he respond to the charges the same day for Premium Times
to report on it on the 12th? That would be one of the speediest responses I have ever seen. Maybe I’m missing something. Somebody help.

New IGP Adamu Mohammed: Why Progressive Northerners Should be Embarrassed--A THREAD

In August 2015, when I first publicly voiced out my disapproval of what I called the embarrassingly undisguised Arewacentricity of Buhari’s appointments, a few people, mostly southerners, asked
why I was bothered since I'm a northern Muslim who is “favored” by such appointments—“favored,” that is, on the emotional and symbolic plane. I was—and still am—bothered for at least four reasons. One, I criticized similar such parochial appointments by previous presidents from
the South. It would be hypocritical to look the other way because I'm now “favored” by such appointments. (Yes, I have more friends and acquaintances in powerful positions in this government than I’ve ever had since 1999). Two, Buhari came to power on the promise of “change,”

CJN Onnoghen: Buhari is Sounding the Official Death Knell for Nigeria’s Democracy--A THREAD

President Buhari has always been a dyed-in-the-wool, thoroughgoing, knee-jerk autocrat who has a stone-cold contempt for democracy.
He forcibly terminated our democracy in 1983 and has been stealthily terminating our re-emergent, imperfect but nonetheless existing democratic order piecemeal since 2015 using the instruments of civilian rule. This year, he will officially murder and bury it without apologies.
The impending, unexampled trial and planned ouster of Chief Justice of Nigeria Walter Onnoghen is the crowning of Buhari’s totalitarian designs against our democracy. As I've pointed out several times, Buhari and his minions know it’s demographically and mathematically impossible

#ElectoralBill: 2019 Will be a Contest of Rigging--A THREAD

The game is over for Buhari. He & his minders know it. Atiku will win at least 45% of the Muslim north & more than 45% of the southwest. These 2 blocs are supposed to be Buhari's strongholds, but he is losing them 1/7
b/c of his ruthlessly dreadful & strangulating ineptitude. Atiku will, of course, win more than 70% each of d Christian north, the southeast, & the southern ethnic minority bloc. So it's obvious that 2019 would be a blowout for Atiku. The signs are apparent even to the dumb. 2/7
That's why there's frenzied, transparent panic in Buhari land. The only option left for Buhari now is to rig himself back to power, & that's what he's planning to do. That's precisely why he has refused to sign d electoral bill. His reason for not signing it is that,"any real 3/7

People have knowledge gaps. And whoever takes the initiative to fill this gap, carries the day.
In the near future, those who will be smiling to the bank will not just be those providing services, but those willing to pass on knowledge to others.

Short thread on the importance of that new Pompeii graffiti and eruption date, to follow up on this very general story I posted earlier:

forbes.com/sites/kristina…

1/
The date of Vesuvius's exact eruption has been debated for quite some time. I learned about the possible October date as an undergrad, for example. The later date makes sense b/c of the clothes worn and, more importantly, the fruit in season.

2/
Fruit may seem odd as an important item, considering how much wonderful wall painting, architecture, pottery, and more survives from Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis, Stabiae, and more. But it gives us a specific time in the year that the destruction occurred.

Following Iranian media outlets, the @iaeaorg and international community should investigate @netanyahu's claim regarding Iran's secret atomic facility.
It is highly likely that the evidence provided by Netanyahu is reliable. 1/9
This was the video published by an Iranian website. It is interesting why these three men are asking people to not visit the location. In this video they repeatedly ask people to not try to visit the place because there is nothing. But they fail to show inside the building. 2/9
Iranian state TV reporter went to the location. The reporter refused to ask to go inside and show inside the building.
In the report, a man in a red T-shirt[was introduced as an ordinary citizen]makes fun of Netanyahu.Him and another person claim the place is an old depot.3/9

Should a church venture into business? Wouldn't that be distracting? What impacts will this on faith and the basic principles of the kingdom? What would happen if chuches in Nigeria start farms and employ their members to work on them? A short #thread

#LetMyPeopleThink
1. Answered Prayers. For the young and agile members who are unemployed. For the business consultants who want to work on new projects. One prayer point would be ticked off the list. #LetMyPeopleThink
2. Stewardship. Working in a "church-run business" will provide Christians with more practical avenues to demonstrate and prove ourselves as caretakers of heaven's resources on the earth.
