''Social media buskers and cheerleaders are trying hard to absolve the Buhari govt of blame in the Mambila hydro power project fiasco exposed by the BBC Hausa. They said the presidency was quoted out of context, and that it never claimed work had started at Mambila.
But the official cheerleaders say otherwise. They told us equipment had been procured. They shared the photos of the project sites to convince us Mambila project was coming to fruition. And we truly believed them.
Buhari himself taunted Obasanjo for allegedly
spending $16 billion on power without commensurate results. Although in actual sense, Obasanjo spent $3.5 billion (at rate of N150 to $1) to build new power generating stations under the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPPs), we have seen Papalanto, Omotosho, Alaoji and
Geregu gas plants on ground. We have also seen the workers’ quarters Obasanjo built at Mambila in preparation for the project.Without Obasanjo’s efforts,Nigeria would have been in perpetual darkness today. Now ask yourself, how many megawatts, apart from megawatts of propaganda,
has Buhari added to the national grid?
Even the Shagari administration, which Buhari criminally truncated, completed Jebba and Shiroro hydroelectric power plants and Egbin thermal plant initiated by the past military regimes.
The question is #WhereIsMambilaProject billions Buhari approved?''

''Pantami Accepted FUTO Fraudfessorship Before it Was Offered!
By Farooq Kperogi
I woke up a while ago to these memos from FUTO. The appointment letter that offered Pantami a fraudfessorship is dated August 20, 2021 BUT the acceptance letter is dated March 30, 2021! ImageImage
In other words, Pantami accepted a fraudfessorship that hadn't even been formally offered, and then FUTO retroactively offered it.😂😂
At this rate, are we even sure that FUTO's Department of Cybersecurity isn't actually the Department of Cyberfraud? Even at that, Pantami won't
be qualified to be a professor of practice in cyberfraud because he obviously can't even successfully pull off a simple fraud.
Yesterday, a young cyber sleuth by the name of Dr. Abdulaziz Tijjani discovered that Pantami edited his Researchgate profile to lie that he was an

''I was a member of Deeper Life Bible Church from 1981 - 2005.
It was a period of holiness or the highway.
Thankfully, most, or nearly all of my core societal values, dignity and critical views on leadership (till today) were formed, nurtured, instilled in me as a young boy Image
while at Deeper Life Bible Church.
Albeit, Felix Ojobor and I never stopped asking tough questions on the church's doctrines which we saw, then, as personal and cultural influences on how members were expected to act, behave and live their lives as Christians.
We were humble
devoted members but rebels.
We asked why the church will not allow us watch TV, and see programs like NTA's "Science is Discovery" Wildlives" "Now for Mathematics" shown week days at 5:30 p.m. and many other educational programs.
Yes, NTA was that good in the 80s.

Ms Norah Okafor shares a frightening experience in her own words.
''At exactly 1:36am,I was alerted by my brother that there are armed robbers at my gate trying to make their way into the compound. Because it was an electric fence, I didn't bother enough because I felt they can't ImageImageImageImage
make their way in. Alas, I was wrong. 2am on the dot they made their way into the compound. They came prepared. Over 25 of them with two hilux buses, masked and dressed in black upon black. A huge one climbed the fence, with a plier and immediately cut off a few of the wires,
jumped into the compound and with an axe, broke the gate key open and zoom they made their first entry into my apartment. As a nude sleeper, while they tried to make their way into the compound, I found something to wear while my brothers and I were thinking of a way of escape.

I got this from a friend, please read it and pick out vital life lessons.
''I was at home that day when my mum called me to run an errand for her. (I had no idea what was coming)
She handed some money over to me. It was for a tin of tomatoes. I looked at the money and indeed it
was for just one tin.
“Just one?” I thought to my self
I knew I could easily get that on the street, so I wasn’t bordered.
But she wasn’t done...
She went on to describe the particular shop(at the market) to get this, how to get there and what the woman looked like.
“Why travel all the way to the market? All for just a tin of tomatoes?” I thought to my self.
Like I said, I had no idea what was coming. She really made sure I understood the instruction perfectly. As if that wasn’t enough, she instructed me to be home soon( it was getting late

''History and empirical evidence have taught us that if you give Miyetti Allah or their cohorts 5,000 sqm, they will use it as a springboard to continue their undisguised conquest and empire building agenda. Ask the people of Southern Kaduna, Plateau, Taraba and Benue states who
today have lost thousands of communities, with hundreds of thousands of their people in refugee camps in the last six years alone.
If the DTSG must invest in livestock farming, let it be strictly state-owned and operated by trained indigenes and investors operating strictly on
business model. It should never be given to an alien ethnic group with a historic track record of violence and spurious claims to the ownership of other people’s ancestral lands. No sane person deliberately invites a virus into his home.

Late Afolabi Mabogunje's brother recounts how he was killed in Lagos by hoodlums.
''FROM FOLABI MABOGUNJE'S BROTHER😢
My brother was riding early on Thursday morning, Sept 9th 2021, at about 5am, as he has done for about ?10yrs now or more. He was at the meet up point- Image
The same one as always. Then two guys with knives attacked him from behind, while he was off his bicycle and making a phone call to his co-cyclers, stabbing him on both sides of his neck, right side of his chest and left arm. In the right side, a gory wound got the internal
jugular vein apart from any other structures. The left got a superficial branch of the internal jugular. While struggling/ fighting off the guys his phone dropped, they grabbed it, jumped on a waiting motorcycle and sped off.
He was gushing out blood with each contraction of
