-
Image
The President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Bodejo, has alleged that the Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, was behind the establishment of the ethnic militia group, Kungiya Zaman Lafiya. Bodejo, who is facing terrorism charges, accused the governor of pressurising him to form the militia group. The Miyetti Allah leader was arrested by operatives of the Defence Intelligence Agency on January 23, 2024, at the group’s office in the Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State for allegedly unveiling a militia group and has been in custody since then. He was arraigned before Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja on three counts of terrorism on March 22, 2024. Bodejo was specifically accused of establishing the Kungiya Zaman Lafiya ethnic militia in Nasarawa State without authorisation. The offence was said to be punishable under Section 29 of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022. However, in his confessional statement exclusively obtained by

Abductors Are Enemies Of State: A Note to Gumi

-
Image
By Abdul Sule Last week or so,  Sheikh Ahmad Gumi was in the news again. This time it was with utter shock that Nigerians greeted the return of the Sheikh to limelight after a seeming hiatus from the national scene. What was even more astounding was the relentless emotive absence with which he resurfaced from hibernation. Delightfully, he dared to lead in the negotiations he was hoping for, to facilitate the release of about 300 abductees, of whom over ninety percent were vulnerable Nigerian school children all between the ages 8-12. He based his critical argument around the notion that government is losing its war against the bandit abductors and, hence must dialogue them out of their hostilities. Gumi’s open reaffirmation of wanting to lead the negotiations while suggesting that such negotiations have become quite conventional evokes only nostalgic irritation. It sounded utterly abrasive yet again, coming from none other than himself, to say the least. This is because, in retrospe

Emilokan', Awa'lokan and The Discontent

- Ruben Abati *Emi lokan, awa lokan’ and the discontent*  By Reuben Abati  “BROS, how body? Have you seen what I have seen?” “No. How do you expect me to see what you have seen, when my eyes are different from yours? I use my own eyes. The evidence of my own ocular facility, not what other people see in a country where most people are either depressed, half-blind, hungry or sick. Every man for himself or herself.” “Ok. Ok, if you would just allow me to talk. You always think you know it all. But there are certain things other people see, and hear that you may not be aware of.” “Okay. What? I am all ears” “Can you believe that one man who was declared winner of an election in Karachi, Pakistan, in the recent elections in that country on February 8, turned down the victory, and said he was not the rightful winner of the election because it was rigged? Hafiz Naeem of the Jamaat-e-Islami Party insisted that the votes of his opponent were reduced and his increased to give him an illegitimat

The CHOLESTEROL Hoax

Image
Pharmaceutical companies extracted USD 2 trillion from consumers in the name of cholesterol level treatment. What a shame on medical research fraud and authorities. Their incompetency costed USD 2 trillion to people those who were fit and healthy. Cholesterol is finally officially removed from Naughty List. The US government has finally accepted that cholesterol is not a _nutrient of concern_. *doing a U-turn* on their warnings to us to stay away from high-cholesterol foods since the 1970s to avoid heart disease and clogged arteries. This means eggs, butter, full-fat dairy products, nuts, coconut oil and meat have now been classified as *safe* and have been officially removed from the _nutrients of concern_ list. The US Department of Agriculture, which is responsible for updating the guidelines every five years, stated in its findings for 2015: "Previously, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommended that cholesterol intake be limited to no more than 300 mg/day.

Where Is Wole Soyinka?

He is a thoroughbred hypocrite; ethnic & tribal bigot. It is good to be properly educated, but if education cannot wash off primitivity & double-speak in a person, it is worthless.  To prove my point, this man led a protest when Jonathan removed (real) subsidy & petrol price increased from N87 to N120. He called his gang of tribal bigots SAVE NIGERIA. Again, he called Goodluck Jonathan a 'terrorist', and his wife 'shepopotamus'. He called him all sorts of names claiming that the Jonathan had almost damaged the economy beyond repairs when $1 was 190 naira. I am talking about a sitting president here.  Today, a litre of fuel is N650. $1 goes for N1580. In all these, 'professor' has never uttered a word against the abnormality because his tribal man & friend is in charge. Is this how a learned man should behave? He is a product of the dark days when people depended on NTA & Radio Nigeria for information. Contrary to his expectations, Social medi

Beyond the Clichè: No Gree For Anybody

-
Image
"No one gives you what you deserve, but what you demand" Last week, my wife shared a story she read online about someone who gave a contract link to a friend, and the contract yielded 450,000 Naira profit. The writer posited that though he could have done the job himself, he wanted to put a smile on his friend's face. From the story, maybe that said friend was passing through financial distress and needed the money more. After the execution of the project, the friend sent ₦10,000 to "appreciate" the friend who brokered the contract deal for him. The writer said although he had no sense of entitlement, he was embarrassed to have gotten ₦10,000. Apparently, he meant it was too little to show appreciation for a 450,000 profit. A radio station in Benin City during a call-in programme also shared the same story last night and I listened with rapt attention to the opinions of the callers. And here is my opinion. For the sake of space, I won't bore you with a perso
