President Obasanjo vs Primate Akinola

I remember in September 2005 when Mike Adenuga buried his mother in Ijebu Igbo, Ogun state. A scuffle happened. The priest, Primate of the Anglican Communion Church, Peter Jasper Akinola, while delivering his sermon, turned to the
President, Olusegun Obasanjo. "I'm happy the President is here. I wish to state that things are bad. I drove from Abuja down here. The roads are bad. I know you don't know because you fly. Please do something about it."

When it was time for the President to eulogize the late
business tycoon, he abandoned that. Apparently referring to Akinola, Obasanjo said and I quote: "There are two people I don't argue with. The man on the pulpit and the Economist. I had said it that if those who wear cassocks think we are not doing well, they should remove it and
join us!"

Two years earlier, Obasanjo's Minister of Works Tony Anenih (Mr Fix it) declared to reporters that he spent N300bn budgeted for roads on elections!

Obasanjo, Akinola and this poster are all from Ogun state so when you see me haranguing Obasanjo, it's because of his
disdain!

THIS IS HOW BIGOTRY AND HATE WORK!

Realizing that they were of the same religion, South Sudanese people fought for "freedom" and broke away from the "oppression and domination of Sudan's Muslim North". After that, they realized that they were of different tribes, and then they
plunged themselves into tribals wars, with some areas even fighting each other based on street differences in spite of being of the same tribe and religion. The guns and other weapons they used in fighting for "freedom" from the Muslim North were the very weapons they turned on
themselves.

While there appears to be shortages of reasons to love one another, there are, however, always no shortages of reasons to hate others, even if they are of your own tribe, religion, region or even street. Discrimination exists even in nuclear families. Which simply

THE NAUSEATING HYPOCRISY OF MAN!

👉Man claims to hate apartheid, and even holds protest marches and seeks all manner of sanctions against its perpetrators, yet the same man engages in xenophobia.

👉Man claims to hate xenophobia, and even holds protest rallies and organizes all
manner of seminars and workshops against it, yet the same man engages in rabid tribalism and ethnic profiling.

👉Man claims to hate tribalism, and even wails, laments and complains when others treat him with tribal disdain or contempt, yet the same man engages in religious
discrimination, even against people of his own tribe.

Men or people who feel so insecure about their own beliefs and convictions will always be haunted and taunted by their own inferiority complex, and this will further push them into taking extreme actions that are purely

Dear Buhari,

A CASE FOR BAILOUTS FOR FULANI HERDERS:

LET'S SEE HOW THEY'LL ACCUSE YOU OF NEPOTISM!

* Hundreds of billions of Naira of federal funds have been spent to bailout banks over the years. Not Fulani banks.

* Hundreds of billions of Naira of federal funds have been
spent as incentives to assist paper producers over the years. Fulani don't own paper factories.

* Subsidies in hundreds of billions of Naira have been given to pharmaceutical companies to help produce drugs. They're not Fulani companies.

* Trillions of Naira have been expended
over the years as subsidy payments to petroleum products importers. That's not Fulani business.

* Crops farmers across the country have enjoyed federal government incentives running into hundreds of billions of Naira over the years. Fulani only rear cattle and sheep.

NECESSARY CONDITIONS FOR ME TO CAMPAIGN FOR YOU IN 2023!

First - and the most important - condition is this: Just come from any part of Nigeria, but you MUST meet the following demands:

1. IPOB terrorists must hate you with passion!

2. Some religious associations and
religious leaders must hate you with passion!

3. Dubai or any foreign city or village must not be your permanent address nor the place for your strategy meetings for the issues of Nigeria!

4. Don't even bother contacting me if your party ruled this country for 16 years, and
yet ignored the road to my hometown and those in the entire country!

5. It is worse if your party raised over 20 billion Naira for the construction of their national secretariat but ended up stealing and sharing the money, in addition to the stupendous sums they stole from the
