As I’ve been saying - Sai Baba has completely defeated Nigeria and Nigerians. Which is why he’s able to preside over the people as their Spiritual Leader. Last week has is further proof of this - 2 tax rises and barely a whimper
Tax rises in an economy growing slower than population growth and the govt crippled by debt repayments. Shuts the border, food prices go up. Not a whimper. Spiritual Leader does what he wants, the people suffer what they must.
In other countries governed by mere elected presidents, governments will bend over backwards to announce some mitigating policy along with tax rises. But a Spiritual Leader need not concern himself with all that. You take it like that
The ‘sweet spot’ is to press till you find the point where Nigerians wave the white flag of total and abject surrender. Sai Baba and the APC - an intellectually degenerate and bankrupt party - have found this spot. They will reign for many years to come

Imagine the boost to Nigeria’s image if the fraudsters were caught in Nigeria by Nigerian law enforcement and hundreds of millions returned? To me that’s the *real* damage - that Americans have had to do it. It’s the same damage from Malabu. Unspoken but it’s there
Think about Malabu. An unprecedented scandal. Yet everything we know about that case has been from foreign courts and foreign media. Nigeria is one giant unlooking game.
How about the Siemens scandal? Remember that these law enforcement agencies are probably under budget constraints and have to take time away from local crimes to deal with B😎SS IFF¥ and Ologbo in Lekki 1.

How are people raising money to pay these ransoms? Someone I’m kind of related was kidnapped recently and this question has been bugging me since yesterday. What if you don’t have money?
Someone sent me this. I don’t even know what to say

My mentions haven’t experienced peace since yesterday.

So let me ask the question in a different way - what part of Pastor Adeboye’s message can a woman who was raped or been the victim of abuse of power hold on to for comfort/succour/healing?
If you say he chose *this* particular moment to address fornication, adultery and temptation, ok fine. But what in his message was for the victims of rape? Is the Lord no longer nigh unto them that are broken-hearted?
Pastor Poju addressed the issue head on, Pastor Tony also did. Even the PFN did. Why did Pastor Adeboye not say even a sentence of comfort to rape victims? It would have cost nothing and would have gone even if only some tiny way in providing some succour for those women. Why?

Nigerians have gathered outside the Nigerian consulate. They are getting into the busses so that they can be transported to the airport. First flight out of SA is at 9am. We understand over 600 Nigerians have opted to leave SA due to the recent #XenophobicAttacks
Many mothers with their children are queuing to get a seat on the bus as quick as possible. Over 600 Nigerians have taken up the option to leave the country due to the recent #XenophobicAttacks
One bus has already taken the first load. There are two more busses stationed outside. No one is allowed to speak to the media. A clear instruction from the consulate they say. #XenophobicAttacks

Zamfara in the last 7 days has not ushered in the desired results following Military deployment. The Military and the bandits, at best, have been playing a cat and mouse game.
At one moment, expectations rise to the impending routing of the bandits in one particular forest and in the next moment the bandits have melted unscathed to other forests.
For instance, we are witnessing an upsurge of banditry and disturbing violence in Safana and Batsari areas in Katsina state. Media and public attention on this front is at zero level, but not any less more troubling than what had been reported in Zamfara.

(THREAD) #Nigeria: In this thread I will be posting all #ISWAP attack claims and everything connected to Nigerian Army's fight against the terrorists in northeastern part of the country. It will be better to have everything in one place. Stay tuned.
Here is part of my work about #ISIS in December. The number of ISWAP attacks reported by their media has doubled compared to November:
The map of #ISWAP control in Borno. The situation has changed since - Baga, Cross Kauwa and Kukawa have been recaptured by Nigerian Army:

Dear President @MBuhari, I hope this meets you well. I don’t know if you remember me. My name is Simon. @simonkolawole. Never mind. We will come to that later. Let us briefly journey into history for proper context into why I have chosen to openly write you this morning.
In February 2001, I finally met you. I had been appointed the editor of TheWeek, I was looking for a great interview. You came to mind, I met you at your house in Jabi, Kaduna, and we had a very good interview. Remember me now? You said something that reinforced my belief in you.
You said what #Nigeria lacked was leadership. You promised to provide that leadership. I became a self-appointed volunteer and started fighting your cause in the media. You were not the darling of the so-called Lagos-Ibadan press, but I never make my decisions based on the crowd.

So I was in church yesterday and the pastor was talking about the resurrection of Jesus (Easter is coming ☺)

The message was enlightening but my naughty mind was just thinking what if Jesus was born, bred and died in Modern #Nigeria

#ThisisAThread
It was a hot afternoon, Jesus and them boys (the disciples)just finish causing traffic on third mainland bridge. Everywhere was blocked from the bridge to VGC. People were just offing shirt and putting palm frond on the ground shouting "Hosanna"
Me I was just in traffic thinking "which time person won come reach house today with all this traffic, o my God"
And all this because of one Jesus.
