During the June 12 1993 election saga I was 22-year-old university student at the University of Lagos (here with Chief MKO Abiola the winner of the historic election).We had plans for a future that was about a true democratic society, now largely stunted by the same elements that
annulled the election.

All the struggle(s) fell on our shoulders to defend democracy which the military led by Ibrahim Babangida and his civilian collaborators were sabotaging. Today is a reminder of what we as young people did to bring an end to military dictatorship and the
call of duty again to ensure that the enemies of our “democracy” are not emboldened again to keep abusing our democracy. By 2023, it would have been 30 years
since these struggles started and were consistently fought! Don’t lets forget how we got here and why we must not travel further with those who directly participated or those who were and have remained complicit in these acts against our collective humanity!

Chief Ernest Shonekan: The end of a democracy traitor.

When I learned of the death of Chief Ernest Shonekan today at the age of 85. I could not hold my anger at the reporting (including at Sahara Reporters) that claimed he was a “Nigerian leader.”

Truth is that Chief Shonekan wasn’t a leader, he was a traitor who betrayed Chief Moshood Kashimawo Abiola and a betrayer of Nigeria’s quest for genuine democracy before and during the June 12 1993 era.
Also, Chief Shonekan wasn’t an “Interim Leader” as reported in many news outlets, the illegal contraption he headed known as the “Interim National Government” which was put together by an equally evil traitor, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida was appropriately nullified by a

WATCH THIS VIDEO! This is the Nigeria most people want out of, a country where some are superior to others with regards to their ethnicity, their religious-sect, tribal affiliation or bloodline or the region of the country they come from but here you are they are raiding the
the home of Sunday Igboho, killing his people, kidnapping @MaziNnamdiKanu while their favourite bandits merchants are feted. The lawless DSS displayed weapons seized from Igboho’s home and as for Kanu the only weapon found on him according to Lai was a tracksuit made by “FENDI.”
They keep fucking with your minds, distracting you so that you won’t UNITE and fight the only cause that would LIBERATE all and whether we like it or not, #REVOLUTION is the answer! You don’t need to commit any crimes for TYRANNY to considers you a CRIMINAL!

How the Nigerian regime of impunity fucks with your mind is total conditioning since 1960: They conditioned your parents’ minds to accept that OBAFEMI AWOLOWO trained rebels to overthrow the govt in 1963; that Fela was insane in 1977; that Dele Giwa deserved to be murdered in ‘86
becos he owned a Mercedes Benz he supposedly got from Shagari, that Moshood Abiola was unfit to be Nigeria’s president in 1993, that Ken Wiwa was a murderer in 1995, that Shiites deserved to be mass-murdered in 2015 because they are not GENUINE Muslims, that #LekkiMassacre2020
needed to happen because youth protesters refused to obey a simple curfew, that Biafrans need to be extrajudicially murdered because they need to be taught new lessons not to mess with Nigeria’s sacrosanct UNITY... I could keep going because today again they have you conditioned

@GarShehu
Glad you admitted you led a delegation to meet me in DSS detention because the delegates said you arranged it. #RevolutionNow
@GarShehu
It is very true that I was nice to your team because you weren’t my problem, you were just an errand boy. In fact, I patted you on the back saying I had never met you before you were respectful but I knew you were there on a hatchet job. #RevolutionNow
@GarShehu
I urge you to release the tape, but don’t forget to release tapes of convos btw COS Abba Kyari/DG DSS asking that my detention shd last for the duration of the @MBuhari regime in 2023 because @saharareporters did a report that revealed that he collected N500m from MTN.
