Who are the “we” and what exactly does this mean?
When a Fulani was supported for the Presidency did we say we will support a North Westerner and not a Fulani? Why the double standard?
We must call a spade a spade. The people of the South East are Igbos, the word IGBO is not a dirty one and there is NOTHING wrong with an Igbo Presidency.
The president of Arewa consultative forum has asked the presidency to arrest Dele momodu over his interview with IPOB leader MAZI NNAMDI KANU.
Speaking in Kano, YERIMA stated that dele momodu has given Nnamdi kanu more platform to insult our great country and the president.
According to him
I have watched the interview video between Nnamdi kanu and dele momodu. It is an insult to not only our great country but our president himself.
He can dele ask Nnamdi kanu about his claims that buhari is dead.. that means dele himself has bought that fake lies and is trying to bring it up again.
It is an insult because many people have watched the video including foreign diplomats and now, they would believe that our president is dead when it is a blatant lie.
I am calling on the presidency to arrest Dele and teach him a lesson over this very insult against the president.
All they are doing including the yorubas is to make sure buhari did not complete his tenure but they forget that we have two more tenures before we can give the slot to the Southerners.
Desmond Elliott was acting for his political godfathers to see his loyalty. He is ambitious. He does not believe what he said.
He believed he was writing a promotion exam. And he felt that the person that would grade his paper is Bola Tinubu. But Nigeria has changed. Power has shifted to the people. Even Bola Tinubu himself can’t recover from the effects of the last two weeks.
Desmond Elliot expects someone who can’t save himself to save him. Alas, he unwisely chose to be the proverbial fly that followed the corpse into the grave. Tinubu is now a political corpse. He once had the Midas Touch. But now, all that Tinubu has left is the Leprous Touch! Desmond incurred the wrath of forces more powerful than his godfathers, andu they may sacrifice him to appease that force.

After Donald Trump’s America vetoed Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s election as the Director General of the World Trade Organisation (the US is the only country in the world that currently opposes her election), the General Council of the WTO hopes to meet on November 9th to reappraise the DG issue.
The US presidential election is on November 3rd and I believe that in the estimation of the WTO, Trump would have been voted out of office and a lame duck US president, even a perennially belligerent one like Trump, won’t be in a position to block Dr. Okonjo-Iweala’s ascendancy to the top job of the WTO.
So those Nigerians praying for Trump’s unlikely reelection should realise its import on our dear amazon becoming the Director General of World Trade Organisation.
After discovery of wharehouses where COVID-19 palliatives were kept and not distributed to the people as sent by the Federal Government, youths in Cross River State break into the wharehouses and carted away all items.
The rampaging youths encroached into other areas of public and private business concerns and destroyed public utilities and looted goods in shops, malls and in markets.
Perceiving the wild spread of vandalism in the State, Governor Ben Ayade publicly begged the people of Cross River State to forgive him for withholding their entitlement.
Hear him:
“Please we have learnt our lessons, give us the opportunity to make amends. No human is perfect. What ever your concerns are, please let the spirit of Cross River take over. I plead with you using the blood of Jesus that please let us forgive each other and come together as a State”.
Prof. Sen. Benedict Ayade
Governor, Cross River State.
In the last few days, Nigerians have discovered various warehouses where the COVID19 palliatives donated by CACOVID were stored and went ahead to loot them.
The palliatives comprising of food items were stored in the warehouses and were supposed to be distributed to the less privileged Nigerians.
Nigerians took to social media to blast the various state governments for keeping the items when they were supposed to have immediately distributed them.
Filmmaker, Masurah Isah, shared a post on her Instagram page where she pointed out that the discovery of the palliatives shows that the President is not the problem of Nigeria.
Zahara Buhari-Indimi who is President Buhari’s daughter seems to be in agreement with Mansurah’s post and so she reposted it on her Instagram story.
Gani Adams, The Aare Ona Kakanfo Of Yoruba Land Says That The Igbos Were In No Way Behind The Destruction That Happened In Lagos.
Similar, Many Have Asked,If The Igbos Were Behind The Destructions In Lagos As Some Tribalistics Insinuatd, Who Then Was Behind The Destructions That Happened In The South East And In The South South.
#EndSARS Project Is Not A Tribal Protest,But A Protest For A Better Nigeria, A Protest For The Benefit Of All Nigerians(Igbos,Hausas,Yorubas And Other Minority Ethnic Groups).
Nigerians must know this!
Every Nigerian life matters. Any system or institution that has no value for human life’s is irrelevant. To every Nigerians out there who lost dear ones as a result of #EndSARS police brutality, as well as those who were injured and also lost their life’s during a peaceful protest while expressing their pains and displeasure in governance as a civil liberty of every citizens in Nigeria.
On the present situations of our country and the lives we live as a community and people. Accept my profound and heartfelt sympathies for your losses. A season such as this only offers opportunity for sober reflection on the part of leaders and the led.
As we all condemn in the strongest terms the callous, wanton and brutality on citizens by #EndSARS towards citizens as seen on videos all over the media space.
We all believe that there is no cause that could justify the torture and torment of innocent protesters, protesting for the betterment of our democracy.
What we are witnessing today, should not lead to retaliatory actions in which more and more innocent citizens will suffer. Also It should not lead to the erosion of confidence in our society and government, setting the stage for anarchy.
This is precisely the time for our support for Nigerian youths to be at its strongest without any delay.
We call on every youths without bias for religion or ethnicity to be good, kind and supportive of one another in this very difficult time irrespective of our jobs, our service in government position as force or military personal e.t.c it doesn’t matter, be your brothers and sisters keeper as one Nigerians with one mother.
We must urge ourselves for greater respect and love for each other for the sanctity of life and differences in culture and religion.
However, those who emerged as leaders in this great Nation should be fully obliged to account for their stewardship to every human life’s in this great country knowing fully well that they can be put out of office if they have failed.
The state government appealed to the people not to consume the foods.
Ekiti State government, raised an alarm on Saturday that huge quantities of poisonous items, mistaken for food yet to be distributed as Covid-19 palliatives, were looted in warehouses in Ado-Ekiti on Friday.
Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Mr Akin Omole, said in a statement in Ado Ekiti that raising the alarm became expedient to forestall any harm that could befall anyone who consumed the items.
Also reportedly looted was the office of the Agricultural Development Programme (ADP) in Ado Ekiti.
“Information at our disposal revealed that the Federal Government’s silos, the ADP warehouse and the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) stores, all in Ado- Ekiti, were attacked by hoodlums under the guise of seeking Covid-19 palliatives.
“We insist that Ekiti state currently has no Covid-19 palliative warehouse as all the palliatives had been distributed.
“Unfortunately, the items carted away were Single Super Phosphate and NPK fertilisers, which they erroneously thought was “Garri’’, cassava grains.
“The SEMA store too has only emergency supplies for disaster response.
“Some people even made away with pre-fermented corns preserved for planting. All these items are poisonous and not fit for consumption.
“We, therefore, appeal to our people not to consume these items because they can kill,’’ Omole warned.
In a similar statement, Dr Olabode Adetoyi, the Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security, confirmed the looting, warning that most of the items carted away contained chemically-treated seeds meant for planting.
Covid-19 palliatives looted from my house were to be distributed on my birthday – SOB Agunbiade, Lagos lawmaker
To God be the glory that the violent attack on my house on Friday 23rd October, and the massive destruction of everything therein did not record any fatalities.
I got intelligence reports of the plan to exterminate me early enough, but I took it as unfounded rumours. More so, I was not ready to have security operatives around lest lives be lost. I trusted in God’s plan for my life.
But to those that masterminded and sponsored the carnage for nothing other than political vendetta, I say ‘thank you.’ We know ourselves in Ikorodu, but God reigns supreme. God will repay every hands involved in the attack in appropriate proportion.
I am happy to be alive to witness the 2020 anniversary of my birthday on Sunday 25th October. The plan of detractors to delete me before my birthday has failed. To God be the glory.
Let it be noted that at the peak of COVID-19 pandemic, I personally distributed palliatives to my constituents more than three (3) times at my personal expense and recently, my team also shared palliatives to very indigent residents of Ikorodu. All these and many more of efforts aimed at taking care of my constituents are public knowledge as we have a way of ensuring open nomination of beneficiaries.
And for my birthday on 25th October 2020, I have sent out, through my Media Team, notice of my intention to give support to 50 widows who have already been nominated by different groups in a programme christened Widows Mite for Widows and also distribute to some vulnerable and indigent individuals across the three local councils of my constituency, some palliative materials donated by the state and federal governments, as well as myself. Those are the materials stolen from my house yesterday. Alhamdullilah.
My service to Ikorodu since my teenage years up to this present time is already treasured by posterity and remain immutable. God knows I do not deserve the treatment meted on me by the perpetrators of this politically motivated attack and their sponsors, but I seek solace in God.
It is a truism that no one will attack the property of a mad man, but people of reckoning always suffer vilification. The barbaric event of Friday is though shocking but like a dolphin which is happy even in the middle of giant waves and horrible storm, I am stable and my faith in the mercy and grace of God is very fat.
For certain the looters are not #Endsars protesters because the youth in Ikorodu engaged in very peaceful and well coordinated protest. The perpetrators of the attack on my house are group of assailants on a mission targeted at my life. They stole my certificates and travelling passports of my family. They emptied my wardrobe and that of my wife and went with other valuables…pure broad day robbery! But we thank God.
Nigerian politics is indeed very profitable! Ikorodu you have done well for me, I thank you.
For all of these, I thank God for the preservation of lives. I thank God for his infinite mercies and grace.
SOB will not go down, no matter how much they try because God is my armour. Whatever the situation, Ise Oluwa n tesiwaju insha Allah!
Sanai ‘S.O.B’ Agunbiade is the Majority Leader of the Lagos State House of Assembly. He represents Ikorodu Constituency 1.
