1. This is Mike Ozikhome (SAN) reeling out his experience in the hands of kidnappers in 2013, @GEJonathan was President & @OfficialPDPNig was in power.
The word "Fulani Herdsmen" was alien to every Nigerian then, @MBuhari ,a Fulani man was not in power
2. Kidnappers were known as criminals and Never was any particular ethnic group had to face any form of stereotype by the media.
We often call for government to tackle insecurity!
When his kidnappers were arrested,they were all from Delta State not from vanguardngr.com/2013/09/dss-ar…
3. Sokoto, Katsina nor were they from the Fulani extraction.
Going through the report by the DSS,Kelvin who is the leader of the Kidnappers gang business network spanned up to Benue State.
But fast forward 2017 because @GEJonathan and Mike Ozikhome party @OfficialPDPNig lost
4. Since @GEJonathan & Mike Ozikhome's @OfficialPDPNig lost power in 2015 & their quest to regain power in 2019,they lunched a propaganda against the ethnic group of @MBuhari with the assistance of media houses like @channelstv ascribing every crime in Nigeria to Fulani Herdsamen
5. That same Benin-Auchi- Abuja road our SAN, Mike Ozikhome was kidnapped in 2013 by Kelvin who hails from Delta State has Never Experienced any form of insecurity or kidnap not until @MBuhari came into power & it is being carried out by only members of the Fulani ethnic group .
6. Mike Ozikhome and his likes have sold same nonsense on the Benin- Lagos Road where I narrowly escaped from the hands of bandits in 2009,2011 and 2017.
Same Lagos- Benin road a luxurious bus going to the South East from Lagos needs minimum of 3 Policemen before they can move.
7. When elites & the media wickedly push a false negative narrative, people who look of to them see it as Truth.
Emohua section of the East -West Road is more dangerous than the Abuja- Benin or Lagos - Benin Road when it comes to kidnapping ,but hardly reported by @channelstv
8. Emohua section of the East-West Road experiences serious kidnapping or criminality every other day.
It is now the Ofosu/Okada section of the Lagos- Benin Road,that was nicknamed "Aso Rock" in 2012 because of the presence of policemen as a result of daily robberies by bandits
9. Question I keep asking,why is @channelstv & media like @vanguardngrnews@MobilePunch etc not reporting the Kidnapping activities & other serious criminal activities taking place in Emohua?
Is it because it can't be pined on Fulani Herdsmen or Wike paid for a media blackout?
10. Political Parties,Politicians,Media & responsible elites in society join hands with government in power when a nation is facing serious social ,economic or security issues and not engaging in wicked politicking,religious bigotry or ethnicising criminality like Mike Ozikhome
11. I call on the security agencies to step up their game and route out members who are on the payroll of these bandits and kidnappers.
Governors who provide them with weapons and even hide their leaders in government houses should desist from this wicked and irresponsible act.
12. @MBuhari should hold responsible, through the IGP any DPO who bandits or kidnappers carries out any operation successfully.
We cannot surrender to the forces of evil!
1. To strengthen our democracy and protect the Symbol of Democracy which is the Legislative Arm of Government, the @nassnigeria should amend the constitution to ensure any Governor that attack that Symbol of Democracy will face Treason Charges once they leave power .
2. Because these State Executives enjoys immunity, they tend to always attack the Legislative Arm of Government which is the most powerful in a democracy once they seemingly feel threatened .
Comrade Adams removed the roof of Edo State Assembly 9years ago.
3. While we thought we have seen enough and it won't happen again, less than 5yrs laters his predecessor, @GovernorObaseki learned from Comrade Adams and did same when there was crisis and attempt to unsettle his administration by removing the roof.
1. What some people like @olusegini think leadership is vs what leadership truly is.
I have seen tweets of people accusing @MBuhari of all sorts and regarding his administration as corrupt and a failure ,bla ,bla,bla.
I laugh at them because these people don't know what Govt is.
2. President @MBuhari came at a critical time in the history of our beloved country when Nigeria was broke, Governor's of states and the Federal Government was owing salaries .
Some State Governor's owed workers over 23- 32 months of workers salaries .
3. Federal Government was borrowing to pay salaries . A Government that was handed a fat foriegn reserve, excess crude oil account and was selling crude oil for over $109 for about 4yrs and 6months, budget predicated on $72 and yet was borrowing to pay salaries ?!
No savings!
1 . On Air Nigeria, the Truth needs to be told to the current administration led by @officialABAT and the sector concerned under the leadership of the brilliant Warri Boy @fkeyamo .
You cannot spent over six years planing for a pregnancy and at the point of delivery , you murder
2. The child!
Why are we holding back the execution of Air Nigeria after all the process has been transparently followed?
Why hold back an FDI than will create so much jobs, comfort , revenue, pride and growth in a sector that has been bedeviled with so much inefficiency,yet we
3. Are telling the world we are open for business & respect international business agreements?
@flyethiopian is no small international business entity that we should toy with because most CEO's of the companies we seek FDI from fly this airline.
What message are we sending?
1. The hypocrisy of Igbo notable elite like @PeterObi, @obyezeks etc not having enough data to release an official statement on their social media pages seeing horrible videos of the inhuman treatment the terrorist group, IPOB is dishing out to their kinsmen is a confirmation
2. of (1) They are not as bold as they profess to be in speaking truth at all times which is a true refection of an elite of their status in the region or (2) They have some measure of sympathy for the terrorist group that is killing their people & killing the economy of the SE.
3. I will put this forward again for the record like I have always deposited in and out of social media, the solution to the carnage in the South East of Nigeria first rest with the Igbo elites (political, traditional ,religious and academia) and not the Federal Government .
1. Someone who went to Estonia ,entered into lease agreement of aircraft, come to Nigeria and act as if he bought them and own it 100%
Can't even meet up with payments of lease, owing his staffs & most of his staffs and cabin crew have applied for employment with Air Nigeria .
2. Is coming on National Television to discredit @hadisirika & Air Nigeria .🤣
People don't want to appreciate that things are no more done the way it was done in the days of @OfficialPDPNig .
You want Air Nigeria handed over to when you don't have the capacity & mgt. skills ?
3. Nigerians should first ask the Managing Director of @flyairpeace if the company participated in the bid conducted by @icrcng ?
If his company participated, did his company win the bid or who won ?
If his company did not win ,why not accept defeat and move on ?
1. "There will be zero oil theft in the Niger Delta"- Asari Dokubo on Friday after visiting President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Once other Niger Delta Militants like Asari pledge to zero oil theft allegiance to the President, the security agencies and those in Abuja can't transact 🤣
2. The administration of @officialABAT is taking a carrot and stick approach to combat this crisis that has affected our revenue over the years.
Despite the proposed deployment of security technology ,metering and others, Jagaban has first taken the position of dialogue .
3. Without the three players (Oil Workers, Security Agents and the Creek Boys) agreeing one drop of crude won't be stolen from the region.
Now one of the players has made a pledge to the President ,hence there is end in sight .
Those us from the region knows how e dey be . 🤣
