To our fellow compatriots celebrating the Eid, Barka da Sallah and wishes for peace and happiness

To build a civilization of love is not a mission impossible. It is, in fact, an imperative of the times

On this St. Patrick’s day I give thanks for the missionary and nationbuilder and for those Irish Priests he inspired who brought light to my forebears, hoping the zeal that brought them here will be for us lessons for sacrifice to build a just Nigeria. Salt of the earth we pledge

As I said in Benin our Democracy is currently crippled because the big picture and the institution building suffer as people put ambition above the common good and the need for inclusion. This leaves many outside the house pissing into it. Best for all to be inside pissing out

In Benin ADC South South leaders met. Chibike Amaechi announced interest in contesting for the Party’s presidential ticket. His request was received as is the tradition. No word of discussion took place on the matter. Representation of endorsement is inaccurate and disingenuous

Tomorrow’s municipal elections in Abuja throw up the sharp contrast between the people centered candidates like Dr Mo of ADC and the traditional clueless lot looking for loot. The enthusiasm of the voter is what will save the day the way the youth of Kano used to do

If you live in Abuja you have a chance to signal to the cabal of state capture that Nigerians cherish their freedom. Turn out massively tomorrow and vote Dr Mo. Vote ADC. Ensure you defend your vote from rigging. It’s worth the trouble. The entire future of Nigeria is at stake

Also on the table is refusing to cooperate with specific government agencies and mounting an internet war exposing the corruptly acquired assets of key politicians

Several ways of resistance to the conquest of Nigerians by a cabal of state capture are currently on the table. They include getting Nigerians to stay at home 2 days a week, picketing the homes of Legislators and officials across Nigeria and galvanizing Diaspora demonstrations

In a few minutes funeral Mass will commence in Lekki for an American Catholic Priest. Fr Bob Yoest who holds a PhD in Chemistry from MIT has lived in Nigeria since 1975. He got a special mention in my 1999 book To Serve is Live. Spent his life helping Souls in remote places

This gangster style assault on the popular will by the Senate and Executive must not be brushed off. It is treason. Beyond a show of lack of character and a sense of shame it sets up conditions that may bring Lagos and Abuja to what Khartoum, Sudan is. So stop them we must

Cowards everywhere. The cowards in public life in Nigeria who dread the vote of the people they seek to govern and look for every opportunity to make votes nullity have struck. They lack shame in brutal abuse of the will of the people. The people must rise. slavery comes

The line is drawn. It is politicians in power versus the Nigerian people. Before us is life and death. Choose life that you may live

Our fathers fought colonizers. We confronted the military. Today’s youth will lose the future unless they contain yesterday’s men and entrepreneurs of power who masquerade as leaders in NASS and Executive branch. They have technology and numbers on their side to fight this coup

Nigerian professionals that left town, the Diaspora, have a duty to get into fifth gear about this urgency of now, the saving of Nigeria’s democracy. We are back to 1990s

Back in the 1990s I put my life on the line that Nigeria may be free. Today it became clear that freedom has been murdered. I call on Concerned Professionals to return to the struggle for the liberation of the Nigerian people from a cabal foisting on us advance election rigging

Kano Kano Kano. I feel the pain of those who have endured a second major fire within 10 days. Investigations to prevent this from happening again is imperative

Those who have contempt for ordinary people and manipulate the poor out of their will for better leadership will reap the revenge of the poor . The path to redemption may be honest electoral reform

When the authorities in Sudan turned their backs on the people they harvested the whirlwind of a country devastated as was the case of Liberia. Has anyone told the Senate that having a house abroad and a foreign passport may not save them if they cripple the effort to build here
