NIGERIA'S AMAZON
Permit me to portray @obyezeks's withdrawal from the presidential race in a different light. I'll put politics aside to say Nigeria is blessed to have this amazon strut our landscape in a lifetime. Dangerously altruistic; no nation is lucky to have 2 of her kind.
News of her withdrawal resonated internationally in <10mins. I can bet her phone is burning now. Of all contenders, she's d only one with this kind of radical courage. Imagine asking @atiku to withdraw from d race now, even as its apparent he's approaching an electoral Red Sea?
Whatever her reason 4d withdrawal is, this pragmatism is a new trait that properly shapes her for a bigger political dent. If u think its about fear of losing d election, then u dont know her. She's stubborn 2d point she'd have completed d race even she's assured of only 2 votes.
Knowing most Nigerians are innately corrupt, i'll understand if a few of us are concerned monies may have been received as campaign donations. She'd rather die than enrich herself thru such means. With d way her campaign went, I'm certain she has refused to exploit her goodwill.
@OfficialAPCNg & @OfficialPDPNig should be afraid now that she's no longer directly and politically encumbered. Whichever group has her now as an asset of social emancipation has a 'Tomahawk.' Godspeed @obyezeks! You havent lost a race; you've only learnt a new way on how to win.

CHIEF JUSTICE'S POETIC & NATURAL JUSTICE
Rule of law in Nigeria has become a dubious leeway for offenders, knowing how egregiously silly d justice system has become. In 2018, Fayose caused an accident on 3MB that damaged a bus and a LASTMA motorcycle. He promised to replace them.
Fayose's aide later removed his car from Oworo LASTMA Command, while the bus owner was left in the cold with his source of livelihood taken away. He has put his story in the media several times, but Agbakoba & Ozekhome have no time pursuing such. I learnt he has gone to Falana.
Onnoghen is Fayose that studied law. Dont waste your time on legalism of his suspension as a chief law officer found to have broken the laws of the land. For the sustainance of social order, a society may have to self regulate following the uncoded principles of natural justice.

Have you ever been in a situation where people are commending you for this and that, but deep down you feel incompetent over the way you've handled your life issues. Like everything you touch breaks. All the things you advised others to see as simple are complicated in your life.
Yours can't be as bad as that of a single mother of one at 34, who finished her degree 5ys after her mates due to maternity. After, she was used and dumped thrice. The day she lost her job was the day she met a French man, two years younger, who wants her and adopted her boy.
She said she felt undeserving. The love she experienced in just a month drained her completely of energy to think it through if her new situation makes sense. That all she could do d day he proposed was go to church, sit alone & cry till day break, as if God was physically there.

Yoruba singers have been wild since time immemorial. There's a gift for you if you can interpret the embedded connotation of this song. 😀
There was mass failure of WAEC and JAMB in Lagos and Ogun in the year this song was released. All the young ladies who passed that year are from Ekiti. Go and argue with Wasiu.
This was when we asked you to face your studies and you didn't listen @SelloCoker

Three hours ago, I arrived far flung Cabo in Mexico where our Albert Einstein’s Genius100 Visionaries meeting is holding.

I was delighted to read reactions of real patriots to my announcement that I’ve decided to withdraw from the 2019 Presidential race& end my membership of Allied Congress Party of Nigeria- ACPN.

#Fight4Naija
I have also seen the reaction of ACPN leadership to my decision. Fortunately, they have divinely helped me by making the Nigerian public now fully understand why I had to swiftly depart from their midst.

Madam Oby’s withdrawal from a presidential race that existed only in her mind is a fitting denouement to the journey in circles which she had led a few gullible folks to embark on with her.

I think she deserves to be politically interrogated so that we may be guided in future.
The starting point of that interrogation will be to ask when her presidential ambition was conceived.

For me, there is a lot fraudulent in that PACT where the loser and the winner both claimed victory.

The bigger fraudulence though is when the umpire also decided to compete.
Bear in mind: that very rarely did we see Madam Oby conduct herself as a contender even after that, she seemed more interested in using the platform of presidential contest to launch attacks on APC and PDP - which out of political ignorance, she continues to insist are the same.

#Nigeria''s @MBuhari has begun moves to officially extend the tenure of Ibrahim Idris as Inspector-General of @PoliceNG. Under Service Rules, Idris shd have retired on the 35th anniv of his enlistment, 3 Jan but has continued to run the police regardless.
icirnigeria.org/buhari-moves-t…
s. 215(1)(a) of #Nigeria's constitution says: an Inspector-General of @PoliceNG shall be appointed by the President on advice of the Police Council from among serving members of the NPF.

IGP Idris can't be lawfully extended cos he's no longer serving & Police Council hasn't met.
s. 216(2) of the Constitution is v clear: "Before making any appointment to the office of the Inspector-General of @PoliceNG or removing him from office the President shall consult the Nigeria Police Council." A meeting of the Police Council is mandatory pre-condition.

#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.

Politics aside, this is where I drew the line with a colleague, you can't be educated & support such a policy that aims to perpetuate poverty & we would be friends, these Guys aren't interested in developing #Nigeria, see what they are proud to sell?
That YOU (yes you) even have the ability to disagree with this (my) tweet shows why the trader moni's aim to perpetuate poverty shouldn't be encouraged, if YOU were "empowered" like this, you wouldnt today even have an opinion about it
What's @APCNigeria's policy, scorecard on education? Public Health? That the govt is even silent on the current ASUU strike goes to show what's important to this party & how keeping people perpetually poor seems like the goal of this administration

Great to be back in Kansas City with the men and women who elected a Congress and a @POTUS who enacted historic tax cuts to put America first. Listen live here:
We gave America’s farmers historic tax relief by eliminating the death tax for nearly every American farmer – so Missouri and Kansas’ family farms can stay in the family.
When you add up all our tax cuts, the typical farm household in America will save nearly $4,000 on their taxes every year.
