Dele Farotimi is someone that I respect so much, for many good reasons. Only a few have earned my respect; Dele is one of them.

Cerebral & unwavering; he will take a position & debate it out, stretch them to their limits. He is not the type to run from a fight, a good fight.

DELE IS LARGE, HE CONTAIN MULTITUDE!

People like him? People of moral upstanding are almost extinct in Nigeria. There are not a lot of them left. They became endangered species since your civic space began to shrink.

All I see is attempt at bullying, using the instrument of an outdated law. But handcuffs & persecution can never silence the truth. It is his liberty you took, not his freedom. When you conquer your sense of fear? you’re free.

Nigeria stifles you emotionally, creatively, mentally, spiritually; physically even.

It is not as easy as you think to be a hero. But I know a hero when I see one. It’s such a blessing to live in the same time with my hero.

I am Dele, Farotimi is my name. ⛓✊⛓✊

Nigeria is indeed a zoo! Any country where its citizens can openly and blatantly express hateful and xenophobic sentiments towards a section of that society is worse than a zoo, and it’s also a disaster waiting to happen!

With this kind of hate coming from the Yorubas against the Igbo, it’s a ticking time bomb waiting to explode! And when it does, it will be worse than the atomic bomb that the Americans dropped Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the Second World War!

Are those in authority here in Nigeria not seeing this kind of deadly and dangerously provocative hate narratives against the igbos??

Some people may say that the igbos do the same too, but I can tell you all that Igbos are now doing so in their own self defense! You can’t keep thrashing my entire lineage and expect me to keep quiet and be forming educated! But, if this kind of narratives are not criminalized in Nigeria, mark my word today, Rwanda will be a child’s play as to what will happen in Nigeria!

What are those elected into the senates and house of reps doing there? Why hasn’t any of them even proposed a bill that criminalizes ethnic and tribal bigotry? But y’all will quickly scream “Racism” when a white or Caucasian person do as little as call you black!

It hurts me badly whenever I come across this kinds of hate speech on X, and they are even paying money to promote their posts cos most of this hateful writeups against the igbos that I come across are all from people I’m not following, and the more I block them the more they are coming straight back to my timeline, and whenever I open my Twitter account there must be one waiting igbo-hate narrative waiting for me!

Now I even get notifications from X and once I click on it, boom 💥! It will be another useless Yoruba or Edo pothead talking trash about Igbo this or that or southeast blablabla! Hmm!

If yall truly want this country, then now is a good time for yall to start speaking loudly against this types of hate! If you are a Yoruba ‘peaceful person’ it’s time for u to speak up against hate! Because when push turns to shove, I don’t wanna hear “it’s not all Yorubas that hates Igbos” bullcrap! Because, if you are silent while ur brother and neighbor are inflicting pain on others based on their tribes and u do nothing to stop it, when their victims comes for blood, yours will taste no different!

Tribalism is a clear sign of illiteracy and lack of exposure! Tribalistic mindset is a primitive mindset. Yall should get ur heads out of ur anuses and think right! Gosh!!!

I think it's quite primitive that if a person says scandalous things about an individual, it becomes the business of the state, a crime, as against the business of the persons involved alone.

Nigeria is one of the few primitive countries were where we have laws that criminalise speech, where lying about somebody, saying what puts them in bad light is the business of the police.

I think not only the oppressors, but the average Nigerian loves it that way. We also like it that the Nigeria Police Force, one of the worst in the world, can be used to oppress others. The ‘Nigerian Dream’ is to be a big man who's above the law, who can get away with anything, and can intimidate others by show of force. It's why those archaic laws haven't gone anywhere.

I read the text of Dele Farotimi’s address at a press conference held on Monday, to the effect that he was being harassed, intimidated, and stalked by the police, and so were his staff and people associated with him, as the police sought to abduct and forcefully take him from Lagos to Ekiti because, the otherwise respected, Afe Babalola SAN, has a problem with what Farotimi wrote about him in his book on the criminal nature of Nigeria's justice system --of which nobody is unaware--titled, ‘Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System’.

Only a primitive people use this approach. In a normal society, another text would be written to counter that, to set the record straight and/or the offended person would sue the author, putting him to the strictest proof failing which the person will pay heavy damages and/or be made to retract the offensive publication. Nothing criminal or involving law enforcement here. Babalola knows this well, but this is Nigeria.

‘All things are lawful, but not all things are expedient.’ The archaic, oppressive laws may provide for this abuse but it's still an abuse anyway.

In court today, the bail application was denied and Farotimi has been remanded in prison custody for the next week till 10 December. Any reasonable person can see that this was all arranged, and it's a shame!

The grand attempt here is to stifle free speech, to strike fear in the hearts of everybody, and ultimately to suppress everybody, all of which I'm vehemently opposed to, and none of which will work.

I Stand In Solidarity With DeleFarotimi. The Only One That Speaks The Truth To The Grossly Disgraceful Level of Corruption And Institutional Collapse In Nigeria!

Dele Farotimi Only Spoke The Gospel Truth That’s Shaking The Tables Of Nigeria’s FantasticallyCorrupt Judiciary, Police, The Executives, The Stamped National Assembly And Virtually Every State And Federal Institutions In Nigeria 🇳🇬

Even At The Second Year Of Tinubu’s Holidays And Vacation Leadership, There’s No Talks Yet About Overhauling The Entire INEC Which Is The Engine Room Of Which Corrupt Rulers Are Returned To Power, And Of Course, The Judiciary Is There To Make Their Blatant Criminality Final.

How Can We Expect Tinubu To Remove Or Probe An Entity That Smuggled Him Into A*o Rock By 3AM! That’s Not Gonna Happen! Nigerians All across The Country Should Stand In Solidarity With Dele Farotimi, Because If They Can Manage To Silence Him, Then We Must All Suffer And Die In Silence!

This is Raji Adewale. Raji is the current president of the Nigerian Institute of Estate Surveyors and Valuers, Anambra State Chapter.

Raji was born in Oyo State but was posted to Anambra State as a youth corper in 2001, and at the end of his service year in 2022, Raji chose to stay back.

Raji has found success, prosperity, and fame in Anambra State as a result of his bold decision to stay back.

He also owns a portfolio of properties. In Anambra State as well

No one has denied him the right to property in Anambra because his name is Raji.

He has the same right, just as I do, because we are Nigerians first before our tribal cleavage.

This propaganda that Igbos are insular and not welcoming is a lie from the pit of hell.

I grew up to meet Jimoh, my dad’s tailor as his tailor.

Jimoh has thrived and flourished in Onitsha

He arrived in Onitsha in the 80’s from Ilorin, where he lives.

Just the other time, my home governor, Chukwuma Soludo, appointed Bayo Ojeyinka, an Osun indigene, as a permanent secretary in the state civil service.

Just like Raji, Beto has been living in Anambra State and working in the state civil service as a civil servant after he was retained as a youth corper by the Anambra State government.

Ndi Anambra did not see Bayo's appointment as an issue because he is eminently qualified and he is a Nigerian.

That his name is Bayo is insignificant and does not matter.


We really need to travel beyond our cocoon and comfort zone to experience other people’s cultures.

Igbos run an inclusive society, and we do transactions with anybody regardless of your ethnicity.

What matters to an average Igbo man is whether you can afford what he is selling and not your name, and this includes land transactions.

Being hostile to strangers and other Nigerians who don't share the same name as we are is not who we are.

I’m highly disappointed at your current rhetorics online about your former principal ! It only reminds us the Igbos of the historical betrayals of the Yorubas! U said that PO do not have a document regarding his mantra-Consumption to Production!

Let me refer
You to page 20 of ’s manifesto, and maybe a corrupt political doctor & ex convict like yourself may be able to understand it! Somehow, to u was the best candidate at the 2023 ‘selections’. Nigeria truly needs a revolution to get rid of useless men like you!

How you can shamelessly come online and metamorphosis to an ardent supporter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, even going to the point of telling Nigerians that Tinubu is the best thing that has ever happened to Nigerians after sliced bread! Come on!!! Can’t you have a bit of shame? Don’t u have children?

It’s so heart-wrenching how some of you failed politicians after converting & siphoning public funds meant to provide basic education and futuristic infrastructure for our children, will still have the audacity to come online to insult the sensibilities of your victims by making the kind of statements that’s clearly unfounded and unjustifiably false even to the least educated person in our society!

For a person like myself who had spent the most part of my life living abroad, who has suffered and brought back funds to invest in this country over the past 20+ years, and those investments are now worth little to nothing in dollar value, it breaks my heart to see men like yourself that should wrought in jail if Nigeria was a just society still making senseless manipulative comments that grossly insults every reasonable person’s sensibilities really gets me stunned! 😳!

Now, the same YOU, Dr Doyin Okupe who came out to tell Nigerians that peterobi2023 was the best option for Nigerians (and rightfully so) and was even elevated to becoming Peter Obi’s campaign ‘Director General’ up until your conviction for your corruption case, is now telling us that Tinubu is the best president and also the best contestant in the last elections! Doyin Okupe, you are a disgrace of a monumental proportion!

I’m going to unfollow you in all social media platforms and blacklist you as one of those that needs to go before Nigeria can be a better place for all.

After being seriously ill and bedridden for sometime, God kept you alive, but instead of you to use this little moment of grace that God has given you to undo your evil deeds, you are using it to perpetuate more evil and lies and propagandists rhetorics!

You don’t need to tell Nigerians how good president Tinubu is, they are FEELING IT! Yes! Nigerians are feeling the impacts of president Tinubu’s amazing economic impacts on their pockets! Nigerians are definitely feeling the fact that the Naira in their pockets are worth over 300% less than it was worth just two years ago!

Doyin Okupe @ over 72 yrs old you’ve refused to make peace with your God right? Continue…

Kitikpa lachaa’gi anya there idiot!!!
Oloriburuku agbaya oshi! Lol 😂.

My Question This Morning Is “WHY IS THE WHY IN NIGERIA”
—————————————
If you are a sensible Nigerian, I’m sure u have too many ‘why’ in your mind begging for answers! I will go ahead and to state some of those why’s here.

•Why do we call ourselves Nigerians when it’s convenient, but identify as our ethnicity when it matters most?

•Why are one of the most intelligent ethnic groups in Nigeria (the Igbos) hated and at the same time envied in Nigeria?

•Why should the VAT generated from the sale of alcohol in Southern Nigeria be taken to Abuja and then shared with Northern states that prohibits and criminalizes the sale or consumption of alcohol, with some of them even getting the ‘lion share’?

•Why should the proceeds of crude oil generated from Bayelsa and other parts of Southern and Eastern Nigeria be taken to Abuja and then shared amongst the 774 local governments in Nigeria, with Kano State getting over 44 portions and Bayelsa state who’s lands and waterways have been polluted by the extraction of that oil get only 12-14 portions?

•Why does the price of petrol and diesel that’s refined from the crude oil gotten from South East and South South over 10-20% costlier than it is in Southwest and the North?

•Why did the federal government build a train line from Lagos Seaport to Niger 🇳🇪, even when they know that the busiest route in Nigeria in terms of the movements of goods and services is the East-West road?

•Why should Bola Ahmed Tinubu Be The President of Nigeria despite being the least popular amongst the top 3 contestants during the 2023 elections?

•Why are the seaports in Warri and Portharcourts abandoned and depriving the most trade inclined Nigerians (the Igbos) the ease of doing business?

•Why are all the law enforcement agencies in Nigeria lined up just a kilometer apart Berger all the way to Portharcourt but can’t be seen in the routes to the Northern states? Is a particular ethnic group the main targets of extortions, harassments and intimidations?

•Why are the people of South East surrounded by the Nigerian military and the Nigerian police with checkpoints and barricades and extortion points every 500metres
With the people being made to step down from public transport buses and walk across state lines with their hands raised up while the buses drives through empty to pick them up on the other sides? Why? Is there a secret war going on in South East?

•Why is the agitation for freedom, justice, fairness and equity treated in the East more deadly and criminalized and ranked as more dangerous than banditry, terrorism, Kidnapping and Boko-Haram in the North? Yet we can’t find the Nigerian soldiers harassing civilians up north?

This are just some of the ‘Why’ begging for answers! Well meaning Nigerians are begging for answers and some clarifications for the sake of that same words the Nigerian government seems to despise too much. JUSTICE, FAIRNESS AND EQUITY!!!

I’m still one of the many Nigerians asking questions and craving answers… André Edwin.

BREAKING: Federal High Court stops CBN from releasing allocation to Rivers State

The Federal High Court in Abuja has stopped the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, from further releasing monthly financial allocations to the Rivers State government.

The court held that the receipt and disbursement of monthly allocations since January this year by Governor Siminalayi Fubara is a constitutional somersault and aberration that must not be allowed to continue.

Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, who issued the order on Wednesday, held that the presentation of the 2024 budget by Fubara before a 4-member Rivers House of Assembly was an affront to the Constitutional provision.

Specifically, the Judge said that Fubara action in implementing unlawful budget smacked gross violations of the 1999 Constitution he swore to protect.

The judge therefore restrained the CBN, the Accountant General of the Federation, Zenith Bank and Access Bank from further allowing Fubara to access money from the Consolidated Revenue and Federation Account.
