1. The @MBuhari administration has refused to tackle fake news since people like me has been clamouring to serious measures against peddlers of fake news & doctored videos.
Today, it is possible with tech to track & trace whoever delibratly want to set our beloved country on fire
2. During the #OndoElection a doctored video was circulated purported to have emanated frm @channelstv ,how security attached to @RotimiAkeredolu wife invaded a polling unit & attacked voters.
The said video would have created serious crisis which one the sole intention,but thank
3. The situation didnt snowball into crisis & the election was peaceful.
Same person(s) obviously has struck again with another doctored video of Femi Adeshina insulting protesters or Nigerian youths, all with the sole aim of getting protesters infuriated
4. And protest will see the President as unserious and not to be trusted.
Acts like this can lead to serious national security crisis and I don't know what the DSS and the Office of the National Security Adviser is doing about tacking and taming these evil Nigerians?!
5. Food crisis can create National Security Crisis and same as Fake News,so I don't know why the National Security Adviser to Mr President ,@MBuhari is sleeping on duty.
Fake News created the crisis in Ruwanda that claimed the lives of over 800000 people in less than 100days .
6. The oil embargo of 1973 by several Arab nations, that led to world oil soaring prices and fuel stations drying up in the United State was a serious National Security Crisis and the National Security Adviser saw the need to recommend raw crude not to be exported from America.
7. That singular recommendation gave birth to the booming business of Refineries in Texas & Ohio.
The National Security Adviser ought to have spotted & recommend quick #ReformSARS or #DisbandSARS if he was proactive, we won't have found ourselves in this National Security Crisis
8. As one who briefs the President daily on National Security matters & probable threats, it is shocking Office of The National Security Adviser never saw the irresponsible act of harrassment/extrajudicial killings by men of SARS could lead to serious breakdown of law & order,
9. Hence, start making a case for scraping ,reorientation or reforms.
That is the job of a National Security Adviser. He/She shouldn't wait for crisis to happen ,but advice to nip such crisis in the bud.
People like me, @ishakaa & co av been screaming over the danger of FakeNews,
10. And using the using this medium again to beg the National Security Adviser, @MBuhari ,@DrAhmadLawan and @femigbaja to do something about Fake News as Nigeria can't survive the Ruwanda type of situation.
The whole of Africa will suffer serious consequences if Nigeria shakes .
11. Which Country in West and Central Africa can accommodate our over 200m population ?
Nigerians will overrun Ghana, Benin, Togo, Garbon ,Niger, CAR & even want to colonize & rule over wherever we become refugees and that will create another crisis in those countries ..Trust me!
12. From Gordon Gray, who was National Security adviser to President Eisenhower from 1958- 1961, to Thomas Donilon,Anthony Lake,
William P. Clark, Jr.,Condoleezza Rice, and Susan Rice, America has had about 30 National Security Advisers with 75% of them not Military Personnel, so
13. So where did we get this idea of the National Security Adviser to the President must be or have a military background ?
Who says Pat Utomi, Asue Ighodalo @iyaboawokoya & @yinkanubi can't function well as NSA to @MBuhari ?
We need to Change some thing so we can function well.
14. God Bless Nigeria.

1. Protest started to #EndSARS .
Govt disband #SARS ,came up with #SWAT & Protesters switch demand to Govt must #EndSWAT.
Solution :
Maybe Govt should #EndPoliceNG,grant automatic employment to all protesters into the #NewPoliceNG
So that protester go rest from more demands😂
2. Some might find my above tweet offensive ,bt honestly, I owe no one an apology.
I have read tweets about people saying the beauty about the protest is "there are no leaders" hence ,the ability for government to "buy" people & "circumvent" the protest doesn't arise.
Stupid talk
3. So, even amongst the protesters, they don't trust themselves to be honest and these are Nigerians who all belong to the larger society, professional (bankers, medical,media,security ,legal, engineers, security experts etc) and future leaders of our great country .

1. President @MBuhari has addressed Nigerians and IGP announced scraping of #SARS.
It's time for citizens to collectively work on proposal for reform of @PoliceNG ,stop protesting.
We can't allow the Hong Kong destruction type of protest, when we are still struggling to build.
2. I dont know how True regarding the story of protesters heading to the International Airport, that won't be nice.
When criminal elements hijack protest,they attack men of @PoliceNG or vandalize public or private buildings ,the @PoliceNG would have not alternative to act.
We shouldnt allow things to get out of hand and the government will have no alternative to call in the military.
Citizen have spoken and next is within 90days a comprehensive reform of @PoliceNG should be our focus .
Let the conversation begin with #MySuggestReformNPF

1. After all the protest, I will appriciate if top reasonable celebrities can hold an intellectual symposium on:
1.What defines police brutality?

2. What are the main causes of police brutality

3. What is the most effective way to stop police brutality?
2.
4. Suggest reforms steps to be taken by @nassnigeria for a better @PoliceNG .

5. Create a group that will interface with the @nassnigeria and lobby to ensure the @PoliceNG reform Act is speedily worked on and handed over to Mr President for assent .

I am saying the above,
3. Because after all this shout and everybody goes back without any concrete achievements won't make any sense.
Citizens should bear in mind that not all @PoliceNG are bad eggs ,hence we shouldn't throwaway the baby with the bath water.
Jobbers like @YeleSowore shouldn't hijack

1. My beloved people of Ondo State, as you go out to elect who will pilot your affairs for the another four years, please ensure like the good people of Edo State, you conduct yourselves peacefully, surpassing the record created on Sept 19th in #EdoDecides2020

#Ondo2020
2. I use this medium to plead with @inecnigeria and all security agencies deployed to display neutrality and raise the bar of competency far about their superlative conduct on Sept 19th in #EdoDecides2020

#Ondo2020
3. To deepen democracy, which is better than the best military regime is not the responsibility of @inecnigeria ,security agents or the electorate, but a collective effort.
Please, work together for democracy to take root in Ondo & may the Will of the people prevail.

1. A friend on this street of @TwitterNG based in America called me while having a nice with friends late evening yesterday to register his displeasure over my anti @OfficialAPCNg stance on #EdoDecides2020 . He warned I might lose respect if @OfficialAPCNg eventually wins .
2. My specific response to him was I am not a card carrying member of @OfficialAPCNg ,secondly I am nt anti @OfficialAPCNg nor pro @OfficialPDPNig & thirdly I don't av any intention currently of joining any political party despite my intention to pick up a card in @OfficialAPCNg
3. Earlier this year.
I am a Buharist and like most Buharist I know are independent minded and speak truth to power no matter the circumstances .
My stand in the political situation in #EdoDecides2016 is it has again exposed our political system and an urgent need to develop a

1.Egbon, those who seek to divide the camp of Patriots are those overzealous "Influencers" who don't speak the Truth to power when leaders in their political parties are going astray .
I am a Buharist and my constituency is Nigeria and good government.
2. Patriorts shouldn't encourage double standard, but hold political parties,politicians and all who seek for political office with same standared, not creating one for @OfficialAPCNg or @OfficialPDPNig .
When you encourage double standard, we will never progress as a Nation.
3. A Politician not "Loyal" to his Political Party can Never be a "Patriot" to his country when the occasion arises and Loyalty tested.
In the case of Edo, Ize-Iyamu is on a voyage of his 3rd decamping Spree & @GovernorObaseki is on his 1st.
Yet we all crave for party ideology .
