Make this make sense: While Buhari-@ProfOsinbajo regime continues to arrest, level trump-up charges, seize passports, initiate no-fly list, freeze bank accounts, accuse #EndSARS protestors for terrorism, they're releasing 550 new set of their 'repentant' Boko Haram terrorists.
For a #BETTERNIGERIA, I'm again, urging @feminist_co, other well-meaning Nigerians at home & in the Diaspora to morph the #EndSARS campaign into an Intellectual Mass Movement/Pressure Group with leadership structures scattered the world over, including across Nigeria's 774 LGAs.
Nothing is new under the sun. In 1908, John K. Randle, Orisadipe Obasa, Kitoye Ajasa, Akinwande Savage & Adeyemo Alakija, founded a pressure group- People's Union (PU), to fight the Colonialists' Water Rate, insisting that since Water was free from Lagos Lagoon, why the rate?
They were aged: John K. Randle (55), Orisadipe Obasa (45), Kitoye Ajasa (42), Richard Akinwande Savage (34) & Adeyemo Alakija (24). They founded PU at a mass meeting in Enu Owa, in today's Lagos Island, Lagos.
PU protests sent shivers down the spines of the British colonialists.
Eventhough, most of them are today's oppressors, May 15, 1994, they jettisoned their differences to form National Democratic Coalition (NADECO). Their one cause was calling on the late dictator, Gen. Sani Abacha to step down for MKO Abiola, winner of the June 12, 1993 election.
END- I reiterate, just like the Nationalist Movement of (1920-1960); Pro-Democracy Movement of (1983-1999), the Good LORD has offered Nigerian Youths, another opportunity to lawfully #TakeBackNigeria through the #EndSARS Movement.
2/ Since Jan 22, 2021 that joint taskforce of @HQNigerianArmy, @PoliceNG & DSS invaded Orlu & its environs abducting innocent men & women, with 9 now being charged for murder, how many Igbo Politicians, paid with tax payers money- Govs, Senators, Reps, etc have reacted?
3/ NONE! I've reached out to SE Senators to intervene on the @PoliceNG incarceration of innocent Umuigbo, but zilch.
Dear @MaziNnamdiKanu, conceding that ESN is a security stop-gap, it needs the legitimacy of law. Will cowards masquerading as leaders in Alaigbo support you? NO!
This is 2021. @NigeriaGov, @elrufai, other State Govs & LG Chairs must realise there are essential Roadway Signs, Traffic Signals, Pavement Markings which come with road constructions.
WAY FORWARD
Decentralise @FRSCNigeria. Let all 36 States + Abuja develop their own Road Rules.
FG, @kfayemi-led NGF & LG chairs should stop behaving like illiterates. Build roads with:
- Deep, Closed Drainages
- Walkways
- Streetlights
- Regulatory Signs: e.g., One Way, Stop Sign.
- Warning Signs: e.g., Pedestrian Crosswalk, School Signs
- Guide Signs: e.g. Route Markers
#DAY42: March 5, 2021 is exactly 42 days since Rev. Paulinus Offor, presiding minister HPICC, Umudim-Okporo, Orlu LGA, Imo State was abducted by @PoliceNG authorities.
@Govhopeuzodinma & CP Nasiru Mohammed should unconditionally release this innocent man to his church & family.
2/ Rev Offor was abducted when a joint taskforce of the 34 Brigade, Owerri; 302 Artillery Regiment, Onitsha & the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response wrongly invaded HPICC Okporo during its morning devotion, on Friday, Jan 22, 2021.
3/ In search of ESN, the taskforce in what was an intelligence error invaded HPICC, Okporo Jan 22. The team lead acknowledged this error, asking for a ceasefire. 42days after, why is Imo CP Nasiru Mohammed still incarcerating Rev. Offor, mulling to charge him on trump-up charges?
SEARCH FOR JUSTICE?
Dear @Govhopeuzodinma, you're aware of d Jan 22, 2021 invasion of Jude Okporo's church in Okporo, leading to the abduction, illegal incarceration of Rev Paulinus Offor. Offor is an innocent man, not a terrorist nor murderer as alleged by the State & @PoliceNG.
2/ Since the 1960s, Jude Okporo's church has contributed largely to the spiritual, economic growth & development of Imo State, & Nigeria at large.
Dear @Govhopeuzodinma, do use your good offices to secure the immediate release of Rev Offor. The wrong place was invaded on Jan 22.
3/ I'm aware Personnel of the 34 Brigade, Owerri; 302 Artillery Regiment, Onitsha, as well as the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team acknowledged they invaded the wrong place on the said day. If that was the case, Rev Offor shouldn't be incarcerated till date.
TWO KEYS TO SOLVING THE FULANI HERDSMEN/FARMERS CONFLICT IN NIGERIA
Since Feb 2019, today is the first time I would follow a program on any of Nigeria's tv stations. It was #PoliticsToday which featured my man, @seunokin's interview with notable Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi.
2/ It is saddening to see the Fulani Herdsmen menace snowballing into a war across Nigeria's 6 geo-political zones over the last 6years, under the watch of President Muhammadu Buhari & Vice President Yemi Osinbajo- @ProfOsinbajo, as if there are no intelligent persons in Nigeria.
3/ American writer, Max Ehrmann, in his 1927 poem- Desiderata wrote "...Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story."
For this reason, let us critically examine Sheikh Gumi's interview with @seunokin.
Having studied Bitcoin's volatility since April 2020, between now & when Americans get their $1,400 stimulus checks, Bitcoin price 'll soar again.
Buy more now via peer-to-peer transactions with trusted dealer(s). Avoid adding BITCOIN/CRYPTO in your bank transactions.
2/ Whether Buhari & his goons like it or not, crypto has come to stay & gaining global acceptance.
According to Coinatmradar.com, there are now over 7,729 cryptocurrency ATMs in 72 countries, with 148,849 services allowing people to buy & sell cryptocurrencies.
3/ According to the site, the U.S. got the most bitcoin ATMs, totalling 5,749 machines nationwide. Canada- 771; U.K.- 296; Austria- 145; Spain- 84; Switzerland- 83; Czech Republic- 69; Hong Kong- 57; Taiwan- 10; Singapore- 8; Vietnam- 6; Philippines- 4 and Thailand- 2.
