SORO SOKE & THE IDIOTS AMONG US: Stupid people, according to Carlo Cipolla,share several identifying traits: they are abundant, they are irrational,and they cause problems for others without apparent benefit to themselves, thereby lowering society’s total well-being. He concluded
that: There are no defenses against stupidity.The only way a society can avoid being crushed by the burden of its idiots is if the non-stupid work even harder to offset the losses of their stupid brethren. My father of blessed memory told me that “if you leave a mad man with the
with the corpse of his father he will roast it and eat it. This are the key philosophy that keep many of us here. Fools bully but if we leave this space for them they would have won.The fight is not for a political party it is to rescue Nigeria from destructive tendencies seeking
these*
to loot and burn Nigeria. An in-depth study of that movement shows there is no way they could have succeeded in their agitation because a thousand lions led by a goat will be destroyed. A movement that believes that UN will take over Nigeria,a movement that think @CNN will help
overthrow Buhari and a movement that agreed that fake news is key to a revolution is bound to lead to disaster. How can the leadership of a serious movement think that DSS called her to describe her house? How? who trained these kids? who mentored them? You can’t be that foolish
and lead a successful agitation,you driven by error.If you are part of the criminals that burnt Lagos,DSS know the hospital where you were born. That organization is one of the best on the continent.They are in your neighborhood,if you have not been picked up,they don’t need you.
Read the book called The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity, you will understand that a society that is at peace has enough number of non-stupid people organizing daily to prevent the stupid ones among them from driving the narratives. Who knew we could defeat @CNN? Banding Together.
you are*

I don’t support SACKING the Service Chiefs,it shows a sense of ingratitude by people who forget where we are coming from.The number of terrorists and bandits eliminated in the past few weeks by our gallant military and the new equipment they have is enough to show we are doing
well.However am aware that optics and psychology is needed for public support of our military,removing the SC is not a silver bullet,it is to just rejig and also allow those who have been waiting to move in their career the opportunity to do so. No nation defeat terror by crying.
Replacing the SC is not same as sacking them. In replacing them, we must show our national appreciation to their efforts in contending with the changing dynamics of our national security challenges. We must thank our men and women in uniforms for showing strength and gallantry.

If I am an adviser to the President,this is what I will ask him to do:
1. Let go of these Service Chiefs. Bring in experienced Commanders with fresh ideas.
2. Change the National Security Adviser. NSA should not be restricted to people with military background. It is an old idea.
4. We should merge all small villages and create large communities that can be protected by the military instead of dispersed huts/harmlets across a large area.
We have to be creative about this war. It is now obvious that the BH is waging a revenge against harmless civilians.
Killing 43 farmers in remote villages is an obvious sign that confronting the military is no more an option, so they need to create fear in the minds of the civil populace to gain both psychological and political advantage,we must recognize that what we are dealing with. T

NIGERIANS WON THIS: The last 4 weeks must have been a difficult period for @CNN @StephanieBusari @nimaelbagir as a result of the massive push back by thousands of Nigerians over their role on #LekkiLies but don’t forget,those two foolish girls were part of the whole plan to burn
Nigeria,they were part of the treacherous IPOB/PDP brigade that plotted the failed insurrection. @CNNAfrica don’t make clarifications,it must have been with a heavy heart. Look @StephanieBusari was not a journalist on 2010,she was a protester! The tweet of 2310 was deliberate to
burn Lagos and destroy the country the way they did Libya and Syria. The tweet they are trying to deny now is specific: 38 people were killed/when the military opened fire/on peaceful protesters! as at 201020,the only place where the military “opened” fire in Nigeria was Lekki. ImageImageImageImage

1960,the first generation delivered independence,the second generation fought a 30 months civil war to keep Nigeria as one in 1970,mine fought military dictatorship right on the streets and got this democracy in ‘99 but in 2020 your generation was paid and fed to remain focused
while protesting police brutality. You can’t do anything without food and drink,you can ‘we move’ but not on empty stomachs! We did that for this country,if your own parents were cowards then,we were not cowards,if they failed you,we didn’t fail our children,we owe you nothing.
Your generation looted palliatives, they burnt police stations, the opened prisons,they asked foreigners to hack CBN and move millions to their accounts,they burnt and ate policemen,they burnt public infrastructures,looted businesses. You cost Lagos 1 trillion naira.They invited

I know that many of the rudely Soro Soke generations are in their 20’s but that doesn’t give them a license to be stupid. It doesn’t. As a young boy during the military era, we dreamt and fantasize about revolution in Nigeria. We have read all the books on the civil war, Ojukwu
and Benjamin Adekunle aka Black Scorpion were our heroes. We later read about Amilcal Cabral,Che Guevera,Fidel Castro,Daniel Ortega the leader of the Nicaraguan Revolution! we read about Karl Max and his Bourgousie Vs Proletariat struggles.Even as a fantasy,we were grounded.
Later we graduated to the Non Violent tactic of Ghandi which was embraced by the American Civil Rights movements, we knew about Malcom X and Louis Shabban of the Nation of Islam and their disagreement with Luther King Jnr. We saw how effective the NVM became and what it achieved.

Many of us are here for a good reason,if you think your insults will drive us away,it is a waste of time. Am excited to see that our being here drive the children of perdition nut. Look,there are days I don’t want to tweet because am busy or tired but this is a war,it is a war.
I don’t believe there is a massacre and all I asked for is the evidence to convince me. I wasn’t a fool at my 20’s why will I be one now. You have the luxury that I don’t. But let me also warn you: if you burn the country my children won’t be refugee but many of you will be one.
You should drive your argument with evidence and common sense,even if you are doing it with the purpose of winning an election. Some of you say oh this is how your party got into power but how many police stations did we burn in 2012, how many BRT,how many NPA?
