#NigeriaPolitics: Forget the Yoruba charlatans like Sunday Igboho and his motley crew of ignoramuses, tribal zealots & criminals of all hues; the guiding-spirit of SW political thought, late Chief Awolowo, believed in one strong united Nigeria existing as a true Federation.
He believed a strong& united Nigeria, in a manner of speaking, to be " the great hope of the race." His politics actually was about the black man proving to the world that he could rule himself...
He wanted an egalitarian society based on the principle of Democratic socialism.
The events of the past few months in which leaders of several African countries as far as Libya have come to have audience with @MBuhari , justify the belief that Nigeria has a central role to play in the eventual emancipation of our continent and Race. Nigeria must not fail!
That Awo could not rule Nigeria was much less a personal failure than it was a great loss to the black race as a whole. He was a lawyer, economist, strategist, deep-thinker and humanist who regarded man as the "sole dynamic" in nature.
A united Nigeria as opposed to a disintegrated one is to the benefit of all. The secessionists' bid to fragment Nigeria into small, weak, unremarkable states will be a disservice to the dreams of our founding fathers.
We must make the Nigerian federation work.
We may not have Awo around anymore but we have his true disciples around. We also know the pretenders & the fakes.
The true Awoists are still working for one Great Nigeria.

#Nigeria: The irrational behaviour of the so-called opposition in Nigeria got me depressed over the past few days. How can you rejoice that your soldiers are dying from terrorist attacks and your fighter jets are downed?
Same people are happy Twitter HQ went to Ghana.
Many of these useless citizens are educated in the Humanities but there is no humanity in them. Many attend churches, mosques and shrines but their souls actually have no faith. These are just lower beasts who have pledged their hearts to Satan.
Opposition is not madness. Your country is still your country even if you don't like the present government.
You may relocate out of this country and continent but you cannot relocate out of the genes of your blackness...your heritage.
#NigerianPolitics: The inter-tribal hostilities presently brewing in the south-west of Nigeria 🇳🇬 between Yoruba & Fulani people need not happen if all parties are ready to shun dishonesty & allegiance to primordial tribal sentiments. We must not allow an escalation.
That there is a problem of criminals hiding in SW forests is beyond a doubt.These criminals are known to disguise as Fulani people carrying out legitimate cattle herding business in the region. Some of the criminals have also been found to be fulani in times past & recently.
Previous engagements between governments of the region and leadership of the Fulani cattle herders association has not yielded the expected result of reduction in kidnapping along the highways of the region while survivors have always said the kidnappers look 'fulani.'
#ASUU : The members of this union will get full pay( and some) for 9months of work not done, in the year of #covid_19 and subsequent recession.
Everybody loves to profit from our dysfunctional system. We then hypocritically look up to God to 'come heal our land'!
Other university unions are already doing press-up for their own impending strike. Their strike will be followed by strikes in the healthsector and other unions in the civil service.
Then we will blame the executive arm of the government for not growing our economy!
I understand why it's so easy for some people to give up on Nigeria. Projections into the future do not give one much to hope upon. We keep self-sabotaging any developmental strides: pls keep praying for those train services.😆
#Nigeria:I hear our #Amotekun is already misbehaving in the SW and many people are already saying, 'we told you so!' Hm.
I thought we all agree that true federalism is the future for Nigeria. Why then are you mocking the initial steps towards this ultimate goal?
We cant be talking like people who don't know what they want. The 'true federalism' must of necessity include such things as giving more security responsibility & power to the states, fiscal federalism & constitutional reforms involving our concurrent/exclusive lists.
Nobody needs to laugh at #AMOTEKUN or any other state's independent security body recently established. We should rather laugh at our Governors who can not establish appropriate training for these new outfits.
We can also laugh at ourselves as a people for this new failure.
#Nigeria: Parents must bear the first responsibility for the children they bring into this world before we begin putting blames on the government of the day. Many of the bandits & terrorists in northern Nigeria were denied parental care too early in life.
SLS on my mind now.
Former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was trying to say something about developing a new approach to family structure in the North but somehow the baby was thrown away with the bathwater. I agree he veered too deeply into politics.
It is clear the issue must be revisited.
I have seen some pictures of some of the apprehended bandits, kidnappers and terrorist and I could only open my mouth in amazement at how small and young many of them are. They remain criminals to me but I wonder if we are going to line them up and shoot them now?
#NigeriaPolitics: Once you see that fake-blood stained picture on anyones Twitter dp, just know that he or she is one of those who want to pull our country down through a multifaceted civil war.
Distance yourself from such people by unfollowing them.
Defacing the flag of a country in any way is a sign of disrespect to the country and is in fact a crime.
Hating a president or a party or a government should not equate to hating your country.
Many of those people are suffering from an incurable inferiority complex as Africans.
Rwandan was a country of about 10million people in 1994 with only 3 ethic groups; a civil war, essentially intertribal in nature, claimed up to 1 million lives over a period of 3 months.
Nigeria has more than 200million population & >250 tribes. We can't afford any form of war.
