Merry Christmas from APYF

Comrades,

The APYF felicitates with our brothers and sisters on this year's Christmas celebrations.
Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, offers us compelling lessons, chief of which is the need to imbibe the principles of humility, kindness, selflessness and patriotic commitment as demonstrated by Jesus Christ.
This season also points our attention to one fact — the reassurance that while our nation may currently be faced with numerous challenges, including the fight against Covid-19, we will surely rise together as a people and come out stronger.
The Forum will also like to remind that this is indeed an unusual Christmas celebration in the light of the reported second wave of the Corona virus. The reality, therefore, requires that we celebrate within the public health advisory and COVID-19 safety protocols.
We must all take responsibility and recognise that the current inconveniences are only but temporary necessity to keep us and our loved ones safe.
We pray that God in his infinite wisdom and mercies continues to guide and direct our ways as a nation, and may He also continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Merry Christmas!

Mohammed Abdullahi
Publicity Secretary,
APYF

Well, Kukah is a bishop, Perhaps he sees and hears things mere mortals can't see.He said there could have been a coup if Buhari were not the president.
The idea is that Buhari's sins and incompetence necessitate a military coup. Kukah is a bishop, otherwise, I would have said he is serpentine. Regardless of how well or badly Buhari might have functioned, the suggestion of the probability or propriety of a coup is mischievous.
But Kukah is a bishop so I won't say he is a trouble maker. Let's just say he is mistaken. In 2018, Kukah resurrected Atiku and helped cleanse him of political leprosy. It was in desperation to unseat Buhari. Kukah and company lost woefully.

..been a coup or even war if a non-Northern Muslim is on the seat of power and does what President Buhari is doing.
Bishop Kukah, who made the assertions in his 2020 Christmas message titled, 'A nation in search of vindication' was quoted as saying: "Every honest Nigerian knows that there is no way any non-Northern Muslim President could have done a fraction of what President Buhari has done..

It would, of course, border on the hyperbole to posit that the spectacular goof in Lagos, of Cable News Network ( @CNN ), arguably the globe’s clear leader in broadcast news, would trigger its downfall. 

thenationonlineng.net/epochal-goof/
But by its rather sloppy, tardy, lazy, yet arrogant handling of claims and counter-claims, over the Lekki tollgate, Lagos, sector of the #EndSARS protests, it is clear CNN has earned avoidable self-de-mystification.
No tears from here. It should stew in own arrogant juice!
For starters, @CNN came very late into the crisis — so scandalously late for a medium that could fairly claim the global patent to “Breaking news”.

A certain DJ Switch has released several videos, one LIVE where she claimed that the military were killing protesters and that a lot of people have died and they were trying to remove a bullet from one person’s leg.
She was relaying these events but not showing a single footage of the most important videos, A. Of dead bodies, B. Of the army shooting at people, C. Of blood stain on thee floor, D. Of the process/procedure when the bullet was removed, E...
When the army were carrying the dead bodies, F. When DJ Switch and her people were carrying dead bodies and dumping them in front of the army (as she claimed). Rather, she was verbalising the narrative she wanted to drive even though that was not what was happening.

@CNN is that station that created the stereotype of Africa as the continent of horror, persistently depicting the continent as a place of squalor, malnutrition, dictatorships and everything negative.
The only exceptions, of course, are the few countries that are able to get them by way of tourism advertisement that keeps such patronizing countries in the network’s good books for as long as their subscription to that service subsists.
