TOO MANY HERE ARE POLITICALLY NAIVE: There is Too Much of Ignorant Naivety When We Discuss Politics, Governance and Business on Social Media.

Democracy is Very Expensive and Worldwide Money is the Name of the Game. In The United States of America, You Can Decide To
2. Take Government Funding or You Fundraise if you Have the Network of Volunteers Who Will Knock on Doors and Organize Fund Raising Events for You.

In Some of Those Events a Table Can be Sold for Over $2.5million just to Raise Money Needed for Campaigns.
3. Both Individuals and Corporate Bodies have the Right and Capacity to Raise Money for Those they Feel Will Do Their Bidding. Like the NRA, The National Rifle Association or AIPAC, American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

So When There are 50 Mass Shooting in 2022 and
4. Congress will Nothing to Even Consider Background Checks for Those Buying Weapons, Know that NRA Political Money that Won Election is Working.

When Israeli Forces Killed The Aljazeera Journalist Shireen, Setup Illegal Settlements and Keep Gaza as the
5. Largest Human Prison in the World and The United States of America Will Do Nothing, Know that AIPAC Political Money is Working.

You Come to Nigeria and We are Sanctimonious About Everything. Yes, Politicians Looting Money for Election is Wrong and The Judiciary Can Be
6. Reformed to make That Work, But Na Ghost Go Reform The Judiciary? No Be Nigerians? Painfully but unfortunately Being Sanctimonious is not the Way to Solve the Problem.

#SAIBABA is a Typical Example of Using Integrity and Uprightness to Fight Justly when
7. Everyone else is a Fighting Criminally. When you are in Rome, Behalf Like a Roman. PMB Will not Steal, But has that Stopped Stealing in His Government?

NO, Infact it is alleged that there is More Stealing under President Buhari than there Ever Was Under Jonathan and
8. that Could be True, But we Voted for Mr. Integrity Without Street Economic Credibility.

We Voted for Uprightness Without Business and Economic Development Pedigree and We Voted a Religiously Good man Without The Understanding of Using
9. Religion for Developmental Purposes Like it is Done in the UAE and Malaysia.

Nigerians Want God to Touch the Heart of PHCN, We Want God Grow The Economy, Build Schools, Hospitals, Build Roads and Elect Our New Good Leaders.

That is why we Build Churches and Mosques in
10. Thousands rather than Focusing on Real Developmental Initiatives. God has no business Altering Natures Natural Patterns because you Prayed. It only works when You Work.

The Young Man in Canada, Justin Trudeau has a Political History running for generations.
11. Same With The British Prime Minister and The French President. Barack Obama had a Political History as Well. Importantly they were Loyal to their Parties.

They Stick to the Learning Process and Built a Leadership Structure that Understood the Followership Needs.
12. That is How you Build to Win and Build to Lead.

That is why THE JAGABAN Will Forever have My Blessing.

He has the History. He Has The Base. He Has the battle Wounds to Show His Loyalty Even in Very Difficult Times. He did not wake up one Morning and
13. Started Speaking English About National Development and Talking About the Chinese Without Trying to Do What The Chinese Did When Given a Chance.

He Spent for The APC to Become The Leading Party Today. He Spent to Force Abacha Out of Power. He Spent to Make
14. Lagos Viable and Benefitted From His Investment in Making Lagos Work.

If you Begin to Hate a Man for Giving and Working Hard, Then You Must be Honest with Yourself and Tell Yourself, You Don't Like Nigeria and You Definitely Don't Want Nigeria to Work.
15. I am a Farmer who is Angry. Why? Because We Treat Agriculture Like a Miracle Crusade, No Plans, No Roadmap, No Focus, Just Wait for Rain and Plant God Will Do it.

In Jesus Name, Let There Be Food and Mistaken Breeze Blow, Person wey no Put Money for Pocket Well Come
16. Lose Money, The Person wey See am go say God Don Bless me.

My Granpapa dey Always Talk Say, Dem No Dey Charge Make Penis Rise. Agriculture Needs Rural Infrastructure, It Needs Massive Subsidies with Government Massive Involvement, It Needs to Be Treated as a
17. National Security Issue and Does Not Need to Be Made a Turnover Project or a Political Project. PMB would have been the Best to make it Work...

The Question I ask Myself Now that I should Have asked in 2015 is...Na How Him Take Carry Him Farm for Katsina Solve
18. the problem of His Village, His Town, His Local Government and Katsina State before I Made a Judgement on His Ability to Make Nigeria Become Like Katsina.

If those Questions Were asked by Majority of Nigerians, There is No Way Buhari Would have been President
19. No matter How we Loved Him then and Still Love Him Now.

Peter Obi has a Template to Choose From, He was a Governor for Eight Years, He has Businesses and So We can Judge him on His Tenure as a Governor and the Success or Failure of His Businesses.
20. Now if He has His Money Outside Nigeria, Can we Honestly Say He Has Integrity and He Loves this Country Enough to Not use those Panama Links to Move More of Nigeria Money Outside? With Regards to party Loyalty, Can he be Trusted?
21. Stop the Nonsense that Loyalty is to Nigeria Alone, If you are not Loyal to Structures you Exploit to Become a Leader in Nigeria, You Can Never be Loyal to Nigeria.

Every Candidate Will Spend Money. Nigerians are Poor, Very Poor.
22. Nigerians will still Vote because of N500 in 2023. I said this in 2016 and so Many felt I was not making sense. Boko Haram, IPOB, Bandits and Kidnappers does not use Huge Money to Recruit Na.

They Pay Most of their Foot Soldiers about N1,000 daily,
23. Give them Good Dose of Tramadol, Young Girls to Rape, Guns and a Violently Extreme Ideology that is False but Pays the Bills and Allow them to Live another Day.

Every and Any Politician With Ideas must Marry Those Ideas with the Street Doctrine.
24. The Street accepts from The Good, Bad and Ugly.

Using the Street for National Growth and Development Mean you must engage the Street, It means you must Spend Money and it Means you have to stop Being Sanctimonious and
25. Be Progressively nationalistic with some Money to be Spent. How is understanding the reality a Problem to those with interest in Leading this Country?

When You Have The ASIWAJU OF AFRICA, The JAGABAN BORGU and The Man Who Understand Loyalty, Party Democracy and
26. Socio Political Development as Well as Economic Nationalism, You are Standing on a Solid Ground.

Let it be Said That I Stood With The One Who Not Only Has Street Credibility, But The One Who Understand How to Use The Street for the Greater Good of Nigeria.
27. I BELIEVE,

THAT IS WHY I INSIST ON STANDING ON

THE MANDATE OF BOLA AHMED TINUBU!

THE APC PRIMARIES of 2014 Took Place With the Same National Opposition Mode Yesterday Without Two Players and The Addition of The Emperor. The Madman of Rivers, The Daura Man of Missed Integrity and The Sagacious Strategist JAGABAN. Without The Political Prowess of The ASIWAJU ImageImage
2. and the South West, Atiku or Kwankwaso Would Have Won in 2014 Because Baba Behaved Like Peter Obi is Doing Now With Regards Delegates, At Least That Was Public Knowledge Then. It Took Place in Lagos For a Reason.

There is Another Common Comparative Feature,
3. Those Who Supported Jonathan Then and Some Supporting The VP Today. They Bragged That OBASANJO and Those Heavy Weight Who Defected to APC Were Not Important, GEJ Had The Votes to Beat Them All, Today All We Hear is That Our Leader Bola Ahmed Tinubu is Not Important,

ON THE AVERAGE, The Cost of A Good Bag of Fertilizer Blend (20:10:10, 15:15:15 or Urea) is N20,000. You Will Need Between 5-10bags to Cultivate One Hectare of Any Crop. That is Between N100,000 and N200,000 on Fertilizer Alone. The Farmer Reads in The News That Image
2. There are Fertilizer Subsidies, But Sees No Subsidies.

Hunger, Joblessness & Poverty Promotes Insecurity. Agriculture is Our Silver Bullets Anytime and Day. Somehow, When The Jagaban Said Something Meaningful About What The Immediate Solution Should Be. Guess What,
3. He Was Mocked By Both The Elites and The Suffering Masses.

Any of Cassava, Maize, Soyabeans, Palm Trees, Yam, Sesame Seed, Coconut Can Add $25billion to Our Economy, Create 10million Jobs and Reduce Poverty, Joblessness and Insecurity over the Next Decade with

IN AFGHANISTAN, You Know The Nation is In Conflict & Prepared.

In The USA, You Assume You & Your Family are Safe Until Someone With a Gun Kill You. They Say a Prayer To God For You, Speak English, Sell More Guns Until The Next Shooting. Image
2. An Average of 40,000 Americans are Killed by Gun Related Violence Annually. About 400million Guns are in the Home of Americans.

Islamic Terrorism, The one they Claim is the Problem of America and The World Does Not Kill 5,000 People Annually.
3. It is Time to stop Buying Into the American Exceptionalism Nonsense and Focus on American Deceptionalism.

They Don't Respect The Human Rights and Freedom of Speech of Those they Hate. They Have Started the Most Wars in the Last 100years.

THE STEALING of Our Commonwealth Over The Last Few Years Has Been Monumentally Destructive and Criminally Ravaging.

I Want to Say, YES 'President Buhari is Not Stealing', But That There is the Problem. It is Not Good Enough that You are Not Stealing
2. But Every Other Person is Having a Free Hand To Loot With Reckless Abandon.

This Why I say That in 2023, We All Must Look Beyond Celebrating NICE, Moral Integrity and Religious Conformity.

While We Appreciated PMB's Moral Uprightness in 2015,
3. We Should Have Asked Very Basic Questions...

1). Baba Na Wetin You Build That Can Be Seen as a National Progressive Template?

2). Baba, Where Are The Men That We Call Point to and Say, These are Your Legacy of Elite Manpower Development for National Growth.

#EVERYONE is Stealing From Nigeria and Leadership is Doing Nothing About it.
I am Just Tired, Really Tired. Please Let us all Stop Being Nice and Be Nationalistic or Nothing Will Go Right for us all. The Over $2billion Agricultural Interventions were not allocated to Ghosts,
2. Nigerians Collected Those Monies, Did Nothing With it to Improve the Lives of Ordinary Nigerians. What was done to many of the Societal Criminals, Political Demons and Socio Economic Saboteurs? NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
DISCOs and GENCOs Were Sold To and Owned by Nigerians.
3. They Have Collected Billions of Dollars from the Federal Government to Generate and Distribute Electricity. But, They Have Been Distributing Darkness and Charging Nigerians For Meter-less Darkness. What was done to many of the Societal Criminals, Political Demons and

AGRIC PONZI, SCAM & FRAUDS & The Nigeria Miracle Mindset.

AGRICULTURE & AGRIBUSINESS Investments are Never Short Term. Some of us Learnt Late, Some Refuse to Learn and Other Were Just PONZI From Beginning but We are all Guilty as Nigerians.

2. We all Encouraged This Criminality With Our Miracle Mindset and Fast Hammer Mentality.

THE VP of The Federal Republic of Nigeria Visited NFGCSFARMS in Ga'ate, The State Governor Has Been Here 4Times, The Federal Minister of State for Agriculture Was Here.
3. Senior Special Adviser to The President on Media Was Here.

We Never Used Anyone of Them to Promote The Farm or Seek Investors. Our Work, Efforts, Battles, Challenges & Progress Have Been Our Biggest Selling Point.
