LET COMMONSENSE PREVAIL.
🛑 1. Who can argue with Femi Falana SAN?
Who has a counter argument against Rotimi Fashaki?

🛑 If Emeka, Chijioke and Adanma commit crimes in any state, Emeka, Chijioke and Adanma alone are arrested and charged. Not Ndigbo.
🛑 2. If Adeleke, Ayodele and Iyabo commit crimes in any state, Adeleke, Ayodele and Iyabo alone would usually be arrested and charged. Not the Yoruba nation.

🛑 3. However, when the criminal is Musa, Aliyu or Ibrahim, the whole Fulani nation is guilty. Sometimes, Fulanis who have lived in the area for decades, are made to suffer the consequences of crimes committed by others. Why is this? They are Fulanis, Pres Buhari’s ethnic group
🛑4. If theres an ethnic or community clash where lives & properties are lost, we pick & choose which to attribute to community clash & which to lay on the doorsteps of d Fulanis, @MBuhari’s ethnic group in order to satisfy the craving for more bitterness & hatred towards MBuhari
🛑5. There's no tribe that is free of bad eggs. But criminalising an ethnic group because you don't like President Buhari’s face, is nothing short of evil and fishing for trouble.

🛑6. It's a devious game that has been on for a while now. There has been a recycling of "issues" under this government, to the point that those who benefit from the chaos have not noticed the strides this government has made.

#CrimeHasNoReligion
#StopTheHatred
🛑7. They had asked for, no, Demanded restructuring. @MBuhari has no power to alter the constitution so he did what's within his power. Executive orders mean that Governors have their powers back as chief security officers of their states
No one is threathening state of emergency
🛑8. After restructuring, they moved to Fulani herdsmen & Boko Haram. Then an international "ombudsman" organisation, released statistics showing that in spite of security challenges, Nigeria is safer under this government than the previous.
#CrimeHasNoTribe
#CrimeHasNoReligion
🛑9. They then moved to d economy. Most of their criticisms were false. With the Pandemic & a downturn in the world economy, the IMF announced that Nigeria had moved from the 46th to the 25th best economy, globally while still maintaining her 1st spot in Africa
This angered them.
🛑10.They didn't give it a mention. It was not what they wanted for Nigeria and Nigerians. They wallowed in a mud of disappointment. They are now back to restructuring and Fulani herdsmen. They decided that the two topics wailed together, would make more impact

#CrimeHasNoTribe
🛑11. Although they have refused to take their liberty, local government councils, state houses of assembly and state judiciaries have been granted autonomy through executive orders signed by Mr. President. What more can he do!
Drop? #BabaNoDeyDrop
#CrimeHasNoTribe
#StopTheHatred
🛑 12. Those threathening mayhem must calm down, take a deep breath and remember that this is the only nation we can truly call, "ours". The ballot box is usually, the best way to change a government. That's in 2023

🛑 Let common sense prevail.
God bless Nigeria.

THERE'S A GREAT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
1. END POLICE BRUTALITY AND
2. END SARS.

1. Thanks to @vanguardngrnews, from the image she shared on her Instagram Story, we now know that @zmbuhari lent her voice to what ALL NIGERIANS want- #EndPoliceBrutality
That's what all Nigerians want Image
2. There's a great difference between #EndPoliceBrutality and End Sars. One is by Nigerians, the other is by
1. #DumbKids
2. Those who have no clear understanding of what the root issues are and
3. Those who are still angry that the NLC called off their strike.
3. WE ALL WANT THE POLICE BRUTALITY TO STOP.
For me, even parading alleged criminals on National TV and making them to confess, is part of that brutality that needs to stop, especially when two or more years down the line, such people have not been charged nor convicted.

1. THE REVOLUTION THEY REFUSED TO DO WHEN IT WAS NEEDED MOST.
When militants were busy bombing and destroying oil installations and then polluting the entire Niger Delta environment between the year 1997 to 2016, where was your revolution?
2. When the same militants began kidnapping foreign investors in the year 2000 and later resorted to kidnapping Nigerian citizens for ransom after the foreigners ran away, where was your revolution?
3. When opposition politicians were being specifically targeted for assassination between the year 2002 to 2014, #WhereWasYourRevolution?

1. PRES @MBUHARI’S BROADCAST TO THE NATION
Fellow Citizens
On Feb 16, 2019 you will, once again, be called upon to choose d leaders who will pilot d affairs of our great nation for d next 4 yrs
This is a constitutional right which should be freely exercised by all eligible voters
2.     I wish therefore to start by assuring all Nigerians that this Government will do its very best to ensure that the 2019 elections take place in a secure and peaceful atmosphere.
3.     It was indeed such free, fair and peaceful elections that made it possible for our Government to emerge, despite the fact that we were contesting against a long-standing incumbent party.
