Politics / The Arab World Desperately Wants Nigeria Dead Or Under Their Firm Control. by experts: 9:24am On Nov 15, 2010
The Arab world desperately wants Nigeria dead or under their firm control. In June 2010, Gadhafi announced in Libya that Nigeria should split into several countries or at least on religious basis of Islam versus Christians or North versus South. If this failed, the Arabs want a Somali or Sudan situation in Nigeria, preferring the Somali scenario if they cannot control Nigeria because as they claim, Nigeria is too large. What they mean by too large is that Nigerian influence in Africa is creating a clog in their efforts at Arabizing all of Africa.


The arrow head of the Arab world's Arabization policy in Africa is Gadhafi who after forcibly annexing the Auzon Strip from Chad, sponsored destabilization in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Mali, Cote d' Ivoire, Niger, etc in pursuance of the Arabization of Africa policy, laced with inordinate imperial personal ambition. In 1998, his strategy got a fillip with the founding of his community of Sahel-Savannah States (CEN – SAD) which he was hoping to use to control the envisaged African Union (AU.) The CEN – SAD, at the moment, ropes in 25 African states from West, East, and Central Africa, and includes Senegal, Cote d'Ivore, Chad, Sudan, Somalia, Comoro Islands etc. Most of these unsuspecting African countries were stable until they joined CEN – SAD.


Nigeria refused to join CEN-SAD so the Arabs used jihadist President Babangida to smuggle Nigeria into the full membership of the Organization of Islamic countries (OIC). Nigeria is not an Islamic country, if anything she is circular by her constitutional provisions but Nigeria remains a member of the OIC even now and becomes active in it when a Northern President is in power. On 9 May, 1997, in flagrant defiance of a UN embargo on flights in and out of Libya, Col. Gadhafi invaded Nigeria with his planes carrying 1,000 members of his rag-tag army, plus 500 journalists. They strategically occupied the Kano airport and his other reception facilities, with the connivance of his Nigerian Muslim dictator host. The purpose was to launch a jihad in supposedly religiously secular Nigeria, or at least precipitate a serious schism between the predominantly Moslem north of the country and the Christian and animist south. Nigeria proved too sophisticated to be so cheaply destabilized so Gadhafi settled for an accommodation to come to the aid of Abacha who was ready to plunge Nigeria into chaos at the time to become President for life in the mould of President Nassir of Egypt. The deal was finally sealed during Abacha's overnight strategizing meeting with Gadhafi in Chad just before Abacha died mysteriously in office frolicking with Arab love-peddlers.


With Nigeria returning to the semblance of civilian leadership in 1999, the Arab world decided to use 'Sharia' to dismember Nigeria. Pakistan, Libya and Saudi Arabia, to name a few countries, pumped substantial funds into Zamfara, the first of Nigeria's Sharia states, to start the process of Islamizing, (or at least to trigger mayhem and civil war) in Nigeria as in the Sudan. There have been a series of skirmishes since then in the guise of Islamic fundamentalists such as the Boko Haram gangs or imported jihadists from the neighbouring country, Niger, sacking whole Nigerian villages at night or burning down police stations and killing law enforcement officers in broad day light.


In July 2010, Iran smuggled 13 container loads of war arsenals into Nigeria, including rockets and rocket launchers. Iranians nationals acting in collaboration with some Nigerian jihadists and political leaders were involved. The documents used for the shipment of the deadly cargo, with the cooperation of the Iranian Embassy in Nigeria to facilitate quick diplomatic clearance, claimed that the cargo contained building materials. An Iranian, Sheikh Ali Abbas Othman Hassan, with home in Abuja, and appearing to use his cleric suit as cover for terrorist activities in Nigeria, has been manipulated and detained as a principal suspect for the importation of the cargo of death. Two other Iranian fronts behind the importation, Mr. Azini Agajany and Mr. Sayeed Akbar Tahmaesebi, are at the time of this report hiding in the Iranian embassy in Lagos. A minor distraction for Nigerian security agencies is Israel's morbid fear of Iran inspired insinuations that the cargo could be en-route to Israel. That is because Israel is unaware of the Arab world's diabolical designs for and track record in Nigeria and Africa. Nigeria is not so close an ally of Israel that Israel would turn a blind eye to the shipment of huge illegal arms from Nigeria that does not produce arms. The consignment was being cleared here to be used to facilitate a jihad in Africa's most populous and influential country, Nigeria, and Iran's government is culpable.


At the time the cargo was being smuggled into Nigeria, Nigerian sick President Yar'Adua was already brain dead in a Saudi hospital as guest of the Saudi monarch. Saudi Arabia connived with the family of Yar'dua and the leadership of the Nigerian army at the time, a General of Northern Nigerian stock, to smuggle Yar'Adua back into Nigeria like a thief in the night. The Nigerian security system was severely breached and troops were moved from the North to secure strategic locations at the nation's capital Abuja, including the seat of power, for the clandestine incidence. In the morning, they ransacked the Acting President's office to intimidate him and tried to stage a coup by laying in wait for the Acting President, Goodluck Jonathan, to occupy the President's seat so as to be arrested by them for usurping the seat of the President who had returned in the night to the country.


The jihadists Northern ex-Presidents and their cohorts have since vowed to prevent Goodluck Jonathan from completing the two terms he won with his leader, President Yar'Adua, on the pretence of defending rotational Presidency that re-cycles rogues as leaders that have nothing to offer. The rogues recruited a popular Television station strapped desperately for funds, to fight their cause for them. There is the allegation that the Abuja bomb blast on the 50th anniversary of Nigeria's independence was an attempt to make Nigeria look insecure and a failed state in the eyes of the rest of the world.


The truth, however, is that the North has never given Nigeria good leaders. The North has always foisted on Nigeria bad leaders who are either stealing Nigeria dry in office or too sick to govern. After fifty years of failed leadership produced mainly by the North: Gowon, Shagari, Buhari, Babangida, Abacha, Atiku, Yar'Adua, Nigeria urgently needs a breather from the crooked, dim and spent mob that over the period, collectively and systematically brought Nigeria down to her knees, destroyed our hopes, and turned our prospects as a people into painful despair. I do not think the North is short of quality materials. After all, while the South gave us Awo and Zik, the North produced leaders in the mold of the Sarduana and Murtala Muhammad. So why are characters like Babangida, Buhari, Atiku still fronting for the North now that Nigeria has reached the edge of the grave the Northern leaders dug for her? Does the North so desperately want Nigeria to die?


All that Babangida, (nicknamed IBB), has to show for his over eight years in power in Nigeria, is private colossal wealth, and the edification of corruption in our body politics. The book, The Sink, by Jeffrey Robinson, an American writer, says it all about Babangida. “Of the $120 billion siphoned out of the Nigerian treasury into offshore accounts by dishonest politicians, $20 billion is allegedly traceable to IBB directly as president from 1985 to 1993.” The Wolfsberg Principles, an initiative of 11 banks and institutions across the world to fight serious international financial crimes, traced another $3 billion of our stolen money to Babangida's accounts abroad, and $4.3 billion to Abacha's. The World Bank and other international sources of information allege that his total loot from the Nigerian treasury is over $35 billion. Now he is threatening to use a fraction of that money to return to power and a figure of N400 billion has been mentioned by his cronies as his campaign chest.


The Gulf war oil windfall is Babangida's often-referenced loot. Abacha set up a panel headed by the highly respected economist, Pius Okigbo, in October, 1994, to reorganize the CBN. Okigbo's panel discovered that $12.2 billion of the $12.4 billion accruable from the Gulf War excess crude oil sales was frittered away or unaccounted for, through nebulous or phantom projects that could not be traced. Only $206 million was left in the account. According to Okigbo, “disbursements were clandestinely undertaken while the country was openly reeling with crushing external debt overhead. These represent, no matter the initial justification for creating the account, a gross abuse of public trust. ”


John Fashanu, in a private investigation published in African Confidential early in Obasanjo's current regime, discovered an alleged $6 billion debt buy-back scam by IBB between 1988 and 1993. Another $14.4 billion disappeared into off shore accounts as currency stabilization and debt buy-back scheme that actually cost $2.5 billion. One of the front-companies used, Growth Management, based in London, bought the debt for 10 cents per dollar and resold to the government at 45 cents to steal 35 cents per dollar. Fashanu was trying to recover about $17 billion for the Nigerian government only for the CBN to say they had no records of the deals. The records are out there abroad but cleaned out at home to conceal the (theft) deals.


Babangida was ruthless in the way he amassed his colossal wealth. First is the illegal self-allocation of free oil, sold on the spot market. Then he initiated the corrupt culture of maintaining a huge monthly security vote virtually as personal pocket money. Rather than repair our refineries, let alone to work at maximum capacity, IBB built private refineries in Cote d'Ivoire and the Republic of Benin, where he took our crude to refine and sell back to us as fuel.
Luscious contracts for the construction of Abuja were awarded to front-companies of his and his cronies, including Julius Berger and Arab Contractors that between them virtually single-handedly handled the construction of the new Federal Capital. The security danger of foreign companies solely constructing a country's capital and having access to its structural secrets, including possible Presidential underground escape routes and military arsenal volts, is mind boggling to say the least, but that is an issue for another day.


Although Babangida used mostly fictitious names for his numerous accounts abroad, EFCC could zero in on some of the accounts by following up on the dusts raised early in 2003 over the financing of his GLOBACOM. Documents on the loan supposed to have been granted on 9 February, 2001, were dated 28 August, 2006. The original 'loan' letter has not been presented. Apparently, Paribas Bank, based in Paris, was managing a slush fund from which investments in excess of US$400 million was made to buy into Alcatel (Globacom's technical partners), Bouygues Telecoms, Peugeot and Total finaelf.

Alcatel and Parabel National of France were worried at the time that their invoices for the telecom project were being inflated to launder funds by the supposed private owners of the sources of funds and that private cheques were being issued to finance the staggering project without recourse to borrowing from banks. They suspected illegal laundering of funds and threatened to withdraw collaboration on the project while alerting Interpol to investigate the sources of the private cheques being issued to finance the project. IBB could not participate in Obasanjo's 2003, inauguration ceremonies, because he was allegedly out of the country sorting out the Interpol queries on the Alcatel's slush account alert, at the time. Even now, the telecoms' financing details through Siemens etc, could be investigated by the EFCC tracing ghost cheques to issuing private sources of funds and their local and international banks to unravel possible laundering of funds.


There is this strong allegation among the rank and file of the armed forces, and members of the defense correspondence of our newspapers attached to the seat of power, that Babangida arranged, in the last couple of weeks before leaving office, for several armoured vehicle loads of newly printed naira notes to be delivered daily to his new Minna palatial abode obviously with the connivance of Abacha, perhaps as his mentor's retirement benefit. Abacha and Babangida had several serious financial problems with Abiola but one of them takes the cake. It was over some foreign war booty amounting to US$215m. It is alleged that Babangida had asked Abiola to help launder it when Babangida was in office but Abiola was not interested.


Babangida allegedly side-stepped Abiola and eventually prevailed upon a member of Abiola's family in the custom of family friendship, to rescue the situation. Then the person suddenly died. It is further alleged that Abiola was asked to return the money and he truthfully and honestly said he knew nothing about it and even if there was such a thing, he had no authority over the matter. Then he was asked to pressurize the children of the deceased to play ball. Abiola refused, arguing that he had no legal or moral right to do so. The kids of the deceased wanted Abiola released but Abiola was too principled to succumb to blackmail so the powers that be decided early after his arrest, that he would die in detention for declaring himself president.


Perhaps you would want to join me to play the prude accountant, generous with figures. Let's pretend that Babangida was a General throughout his service years in the Nigerian army. Again let's assume he spent 30 years in the army and was paid N100,000 monthly (actually, salaries of Generals were less than N10,000 a month until recently) and he saved every kobo of his salary. He would be worth about N35,000,000 plus interest in the bank today. But Babangida's 50 bedroom palatial abode in Minna is alleged to be conservatively worth billions of naira and he does not owe any bank on it. The largest, most prestigious housing estate in Alexandra, Egypt's leading holiday resort town, is alleged to belong to Babangida. Even Egyptians cannot afford his rent, which is alleged to be in dollars. All his tenants are rich foreigners and the staff of multi-national companies operating in Alexandra. The estate is alleged to have its own airport, which Babangida uses when he visits in his private jet.


Babangida is alleged to own several other housing estates around the world, including houses on Bishop Avenue in London. He uses his London houses, it is alleged, as guest houses or gifts for people on his compromise list. He is considered generous with gifts of cars with their boots stuffed with naira notes when he wants some jobs done.
In the area of managing the national economy, Babangida bestowed his adroitness and moral degeneracy. His economy was dominated by male-wives, particularly in the banking and oil sectors. Women often brag about the efficacy of 'bottom' power. Feminine men sometimes flaunt it too as their passport to economic liberation. Between them and the suddenly very lucrative 419 business of the time, industry was complete. IBB's chiefs, allegedly colluded with 419 criminals to create the over-night semi-illiterate money-bags without class or shame, (including the 150 members of the National Assembly, that in 2005 sent IBB a birthday card), and who together now form the bulk of his supporters and campaigners, to return him to power. Babangida (sapped) or totally wiped the middle class out of existence with the destruction of the naira, which he did by fiat in 1985, when he down graded the naira exchange rate from about N2 to N18 to the dollar. By the time he was forced out of office in 1993, the naira was exchanging at N60 to the dollar. Society was reduced to two social classes of either the very poor or the rich rogues. Babangida should be heading for Kirikiri not Aso Rock because the fight against corruption is a sham otherwise.


Shagari's regime (1979-1983), incurred Buhari's wrath when it decided to investigate the US$2.8 billion that disappeared from the Midland Bank, London account of the Nigerian National Petroleum Cooperation, (NNPC), during General Obasanjo's era as military head of state that preceded Shagari's. Dr. Olusola Saraki, Turaki of Ilorin, was the majority party leader of the Senate at the time and he headed the Senate Committee set up to trace the stolen money after some three years of clamour for such an investigation by members of the civil society. The money was traced to the Midland Bank London branch fixed account of Buhari, Obasanjo's appointee as military head of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company. The Committee's report was presented to the Senate during the tail end of Shagari's regime in 1983, so the House decided to deal with the matter soon after the 1983 general elections.


The attempt at civilian-to-civilian transition provided the fillip for mayhem at the time. The elections were marred by massive rigging because incumbent political office holders were refusing to slacken their stranglehold on Nigeria Plc., mortgaged as the leaders private property. On the 31st December, 1983, Buhari struck under the cover of the political commotion that trailed the presidential election results. Buhari generally had no agenda for leadership but vendetta against those he called critics and rabble-rousers. Buhari did not see any moral wrong in his conversion of our oil money into his personal use. Rather he railed at the press and what he described as the self-righteous sections of the country for making a big deal out of the issue. He locked up without trial, politicians and critics including Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, notorious for clamouring for the exposure of the oil money rogue. Satire saved my neck at the time. Vera Ifudu, who was an NTA reporter then, was sacked through his prodding as military ruler, for reporting what Dr. Olusola Saraki had told her in an interview about how the missing money was traced to Buhari's account at a Midland Bank London branch. Vera eventually won her case of wrongful dismissal in court against the NTA and was financially compensated.


Abacha rehabilitated Buhari with the chairmanship of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) before he (Abacha) died in 1998. When Obasanjo returned to power in May 1999 as civilian president, he found that over 2.5 billion naira had not been properly accounted for in the PTF and that there was not much on the ground to show for the colossal expenditure the agency was claiming. On the day Obasanjo announced the scrapping of the PTF, a non-staff brother-in-law of the boss, allegedly serving as his conduit on some PTF projects, died suddenly from what appeared to be heart failure. Haruna Adamu, who was appointed by Obasanjo to investigate the PTF before finally consigning it to the dung heap, allegedly quickly pocketed one hundred million naira of PTF's money before operating table could be set up for him, thus forcing Obasanjo to hurriedly close the place down without further investigations. Buhari has been trying desperately since to return to power, perhaps to get a chance to shred the PTF documents?


The accusation in 1999/2000 that the president's deputy, Atiku Abubakar, privatized Nigeria Incorporated to himself was not investigated because Obasanjo's third term ambition was not strong at the time. Atiku denied ownership of African Petroleum (AP), which in the end turned out to be a bobby trap, laced with huge hidden debt, and was re-acquired by the government through the NNPC. However, Atiku was seen as a product of the Nigerian corrupt system. He retired as a boss of the Customs several years ago, an agency of government that reeks with corruption. There were some spats over contracts for the communications garget for the 8th All African Games in 2003, in Abuja, and the issue of bunkering crookedness, and illegal rents collected on crude oil lifting, which Obasanjo largely scuttled in the heat of his tenure elongation project in March 2006.


In August 2005, and early 2006, we heard of US security operatives raiding Atiku's home in Washington, USA, over allegation of involvement with Mr. William Jefferson, a member of the US Congress, in a US $500,000 bribe over a telecommunications deal in Nigeria. Jefferson was alleged to have said that he needed to give the $500,000 to Atiku, to help secure Nigeria's adoption of Internet technology from the USA based iGate Inc. In mid May 2006, the FBI claimed in a US court to have found marked US $90,000, of US $100,000 bribe money, collected from a business partner for Atiku, concealed in a freezer in the office of Mr. Jefferson. Mr. Jefferson who at the time was claiming to have been duped by some Nigerians, had, in fact, collected $6.5 million from one Otumba Oyewole Fasawe, the Nigerian behind the Netlink Digital Television (NDTV) private business that Jefferson was contracted to supply with technology and failed. Jefferson had with great difficulty, and after a lot of pressure, managed to refund only $1.7 million of the $6.5 million he had received, at the time he was screaming foul-play against his crooked Nigerian partners he swindled. Mr. Vernon Jackson, Jefferson's agent on the NDTV scam, was jailed in the USA in September 2006, for seven years over the deal. William Jefferson himself was jailed in 2009 in the USA over the scam.


The Petroleum Development Trust Fund (PDTF), under the supervision of Vice President Atiku, had apparently been used to finance the NDTV business and some Globacom debts. On May 31, 2006, the US government, in reaction to public speculation in Nigeria, denied having cleared Atiku of involvement in the NDTV fraud. Early in June 2006, Atiku was again alleged in a US court, where further hearing was continuing, to have been involved in the bribery scandal. In mid July 2006, the EFCC went to a bank and collected statements on Atiku's current accounts.


On Thursday 7th September 2006, the Senate President read in the Nigerian Senate, a letter from President Obasanjo accompanying some documentary evidence, alleging conspiracy, fraudulent conversion of funds, corrupt practices, and money laundering, against the Vice President. The submission, which was for the information of the Upper House, claimed that the President, acting on information received from the USA government, set up an administrative panel to investigate the allegations against Vice President Atiku.


The report of the panel, along with the findings of the EFCC, claimed that the Vice President utilized for private purposes, funds put in a fixed deposit account for the Petroleum Development Trust Fund (PDTF), a department of government under his care. In essence, the Vice President was acting as money lender with government money for personal profit. US$10 million of the US$125 million fund was clearly used as collateral in support of a loan of N1.2 billion granted to Otumba Oyewole Fasawe by the Trans International bank in Lagos.

The financial gain made by the Vice President from Fasawe over the loan was paid into Atiku's Campaign Organization account with Bank PHB. Umar Pariya, Atiku's aide, acted as the go between on the transaction. The balance of US$115m of the PDTF money was transferred in April 2003, for reasons unconnected to PDTF activities, to Equatorial Trust Bank belonging to Dr. Mike Adenuga, the Vice president's friend and Chairman of Globacom.

The fund's transfer, like the US$10 million withdrawn from it earlier, was done without the required recourse to the Federal Executive Council (FEC). Argument by the Vice President that the US$115m was put in Adenuga's bank eight months after Globacom's operating license was paid for or that no money was lost, does not alter the fact that the fund was moved without FEC's awareness and for purposes unrelated to PDTF projects, including possible attempt to cushion Globacom over an urgent business deal or external debt repayment pressures for personal profit.


The Vice president's defense at the time sounded like: “I am guilty but I shared my illicit gains with the President and my party, the PDP.” The Vice President, now politically dead, alleged that the President's profits from the messy deals included N3 billion directly; their joint billions of Naira campaign fund; N100 million made to the president's IBAD construction company; N11 million given to his Bell Comprehensive High School to buy buses; N200 million used to clear some of the president's debts; N100 million contributed to his campaign fund; ugly arms deal scams; funds given to his African Leadership Forum and to buy cars for women (married or not), he was ensnaring to his bed etc; N500 million made available to the campaign chest of the PDP….


On Tuesday October 3, 2006, Chief Dan Etete, a Petroleum Resources Minister in General Abacha's regime, opened a can of worms on the Vice President's ugly oil deals, and how INTELS, (a company in which the VP had substantial interest and shared ownership with two Italians, Messrs Gabriel Volpi, and Angello Perruzi, and a Switzerland based lawyer called Lugano), sold a piece of land on the water front in Port-Harcourt to Shell for US$100m. The VP, using INTELS, and (Pecos Nigeria Limited, a business front of Otunba Oyewole Fasawe), blackmailed and pounced on 50% of Malabo's oil bloc 245. Then with the connivance, treachery and crookedness of Shell, the Anglo Dutch Oil giant, stole the entire bloc 245 from Malabo at US$210m profit to the Vice president and his business cronies. Using similar tricks, the VP's INTELS and Associates cornered 20% stake in oil bloc 247 belonging to another party.


The VP's defense was that Etete should not be taken seriously because he was in exile after “supervising the collapse of Nigeria's refineries…. and that Etete stole over US $5bn from the public treasury and allocated the oil bloc in question to himself when he was Minister of Petroleum Resources.” That during the scam in question and since, the Petroleum Ministry has been under the firm grip of the President, “all by himself, these last seven and half years. Every Nigerian is literate to the fact that all enquiries on oil and related matters go to the president's desk…,  When the big masquerade behind Etete is courageous enough to come out, the Vice president will respond.” What this means in essence is that others not mentioned in Etete's report profited along with the VP from his oil projects' looting business.

Politics / Bad Roads Are Bad For Business,gbadamosi In Arguement by experts: 4:40pm On Nov 03, 2010
Bad roads are bad for business. An inefficient, pot-hole ridden, dodgy-toll-road-laden, shoddily repaired, over-priced and just downright shambolic road network is not good for profits for existing businesses, never mind the over-taxation that's currently the bane of every businessman and woman in Lagos state, and is a total repellent for new investment. But that's what we have in Lagos right now, regardless of the propaganda of the current administration, along with its smoke and mirrors system of government.



I intend to repair the entire existing road and drain network with dispatch, using only contractors that will work at night, to minimize disruption to road users. We will also open up new roads, for example, the much-vaunted Lekki Coastal Road, exploiting our strong links with the Federal Government.



We will take the strain off the roads by improving any existing rail system, and constructing a state-wide rail network that will ease the movement of goods and people across metropolitan Lagos and into the suburbs.



Research has shown that a large portion of the the gridlock is caused by driver action, with the most guilty group being commercial vehicle operators. We will introduce a compulsory bi-annual Driving competence test for ALL commercial Vehicle operators. Driver education will be key here, with testing and certification programs for Basic Literacy and Numeracy, as well as comprehensive medical tests and random drug and alcohol testing.



We will exploit our links with Federal Agencies to ensure that the waterways are maximised, in terms of their potential as a means of mass transportation, with greater emphasis on volume operators than hitherto.



We will light up the streets to improve security and safety at night for vehicular and pedestrian road users.



The future is upon us already, and we must seize the moment, in order to face that future without fear and apprehension. Indeed, the agenda is to decide that future, and I ask you to join with me in doing that.

As regards your soul, just give your life to Christ, my brother.

well i think this is a good basis for better transportation in Lagos and a good manifesto for as many as have called for it. The point about driver indiscipline is apt and should be worked on.

The Alpha Beach flooding could have been avoided completely, had the government of the day not banned sand-dredging outright, without consultation. The result of that ban has been an upsurge in the activities of illegal sand miners along the entire Lekki Peninsula Atlantic coastline, which is rendering the coastal comm, unities vulnerable to flooding by the ocean.

some threads had been created to talkabout this guy Gbadamosi Babatunde, an aspirant of The people's Democratic party.

We all dislike PDP and i never wanted d guys too,but i have to be sincere with you guys,Gbadamosi has plans for lagos.

I took my time to watch is style and i tell u, u need to know him.

this man release a plan at atimeand he allow people to engage in arguement with him, and at the end they agree or disagree.

from what i have gathered is below


According to him

We must do everything we can to retain as much of our intellectual capital as we can, as our loss will be another's gain. If we want world class health care, we must pay those delivering it world-class wages. The time has come to take our rightful place on the world stage. We won't get there on slave wages though. N20 , billion per month revenue makes "world class" affordable in Lagos State.

Dear Mr Gbadamsi,

I have consistently monitored your series of posts on this page and I can only pity Nigerians more. What I have been able to deduce from your torrents of posts are your supposed facts and findings on the other side of gover, nance of the incumbent in Lagos state which is typical of any person aspiring a post like the governor of a mega city like Lagos; though I’m not completely averse to your personal ambition, albeit, your intention to make Lagos a better state. Nevertheless, the political chauvinism of Nigerian state in general especially at the twilight of 21st century has left more to be wondered about when the revealing escapades of your political class are put in perspectives - The Halliburton scandal is now adjudged to be far worse than the highly rated Watergate scandal of 1970 which led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon of United State of America. I wonder less if you are bothered about this as a Nigerian this time around minding the fact that the dramatis personae of Halliburton scandal and so many other economic and political plagues that have bewildered ordinary Nigerians are those that will eventually append their signatures to your candidacy.

The entire political class has failed Nigerians! The elites are worst!

While wishing you well in your ambition, I wish Nigerians a revolution of perpetual good governance and accountability. Thought it seems bleak to happen in our generation but it will surely happen and the coming generation will benefit and remember the progressives.

Accept my warm regardsSee More

Islam for Muslims / Re: Christainity And Islam by experts: 10:59am On Nov 01, 2010
Almuhandis:

grin https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-445327.832.html#msg7052356


….-----‘for my people perish for lack of knowledge’-the Christian God.
I am not worthy to define JIHAD-laa.But I must turn to the Holy Quran for the definition and the modis oparandi. May Allah reward me as I speak his commandments.
Jihad is a command to all muslims, enforced by the Holy Quran (you can say otherwise-you can not modify the Quran!)
The focus of Jihad is to overcome people who do not accept islam. In Mohammed’s day jihad was therefore practiced against xtians and jews on a regular basis, as well as people who were idol worshippers-anyone who did not convert to islam(confirm from surah 2vs217; 4vs71-104; 8vs24-36,39-65. Ok enough of just reeling of surahs, let the quran speak clearly:
‘THOSE WHO REJECT ISLAM MUST BE KILLED . IF THEY TURN BACK(FROM ISLAM),TAKE(HOLD OF) THEM AND KILL THEM WHEREVER YOU FIND THEM-------surah 4 vs 89,the Noble quran
SO WHEN YOU MEET(in fight-jihad in Allah’s cause)THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE, SMITE(their) NECKS TILL WHEN YOU HAVE KILLED AND WOUNDED MANY OF THEM, THEN BIND A BOND FIRMLY(on them, ie take them as captives) surah 47 vs 4, the Noble Quran
I can go on and on (while they will keep living in deceit and self denial)
Allah commanded the Prophet muhammed to enforce KILLING rather than take prisoners(chilling!)
‘IT IS NOT FOR A PROPHET THAT HE SHOULD TAKE PRISONERS OF WAR(and free them with a ransom) UNTILL HE HAD MADE A GREAR SLAUTHER(among his enemies) IN THE LAND. Surah 8 vs 67, the NOBLE QURAN.
So much more to say, let me stop here for now (may yesua grant me access to his jabali mukadas!)
When I return I will(from the quran) expose the origin of the killing and hatred the muslims have against the Christians.
Shukran jiddan


u have lied against islam,Qur'an and the entire muslim of this world.

i wont argue with u,but know that ur re responsible for your own deed.

but i ask,why lie on Qur;an because u want to gain a point in an arguement.



to those who cares to know, Jihad in Islam.

Jihad is often mistakenly described as "holy war." Explore what the true meaning of Jihad is: a constant struggle to preserve one's faith and defend the rights to freedom of worship.

The word Jihad stems from the Arabic root word J-H-D, which means "strive." Other words derived from this root include "effort," "labor," and "fatigue." Essentially Jihad is an effort to practice religion in the face of oppression and persecution.

"And fight in the way of Allah those who fight you. But do not transgress limits. Truly Allah loves not the transgressors."

- Qur'an, Surah Al-Baqarah (2:190)

In pre-Islamic Arabia, retaliation and mass murder was commonplace. If someone was killed, the victim's tribe would retaliate against the murderer's entire tribe. This practice was directly forbidden in the Qur'an (2:178-179). Following this statement of law, the Qur'an says, "After this, whoever exceeds the limits shall be in grave chastisement" (2:178). No matter what wrong we perceive as being done against us, we may not lash out against an entire population of people.

The dangerous escalation of violence in the world is disturbing to all people of conscience, from September 11 to the Middle East battles, and other random acts of violence perpetrated at innocent civilians.

In Islam, several things are clear:

Suicide is forbidden. "O ye who believe!, [do not] kill yourselves, for truly Allah has been to you Most Merciful. If any do that in rancour and injustice, soon shall We cast him into the Fire, " (Qur'an 4:29-30).

# he Qur'an admonishes those who oppress others and transgress beyond the bounds of what is right and just. "The blame is only against those who oppress men with wrongdoing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice. For such there will be a chastisement grievous (in the Hereafter)" (42:42).

# Harming innocent bystanders, even in times of war, was forbidden by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This includes women, children, noncombatant bystanders, and even trees and crops. Nothing is to be harmed unless the person or thing is actively engaged in an assault against Muslims.

The taking of life is allowed only by way of justice (i.e. the death penalty for murder), but even then, forgiveness is better. "Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause, " (17:33).


Do not lie, islam is indeed the religion of just (Peace)

Islam for Muslims / How Do A Muslim Leave Life In Islamic Ways And Enjoy Life In Nigeria by experts: 10:44am On Oct 29, 2010

Celebrities / Pasuma Stole My Song-saheed Osupa by experts: 11:09am On Oct 13, 2010
The duo of Saheed Osupa and Pasuma Wonder are two close friends with talents in Fuji music. They both have become an enigma in the scene of Fuji music with a lot of creativities and originalities of their individual acts. Saheed Osupa and Pasuma are currently the face of Fuji music because of their exploit in the music by promoting the Fuji music to the highest level that has earned them various individual awards. Saheed Osupa is currently the best Fuji musician of the 2009, while Pasuma still remain an undisputed Champion in Fuji music for his dominary spirit over Fuji music.

These dudes gained various fans through their albums and live shows which have sprung up heavy rivalry that exist among the two musical friends. The similarities between Pasuma/Saheed Osupa are their ability to make use of street slang to compose lyrics and fit in complementary beats to the delight of their fans.

Although they both differ in style of music. Pasuma lay much emphasis on pure slang’s and electrifying beats which attracts energetic dancing steps. Also there is an element infusion of hip hop in Pasuma’s Fuji which is largely accepted by his teaming fans as an extension of Fuji music. On the other hand, Osupa, is deeply rooted in cultural/tradition Fuji acts, he has being able to diverse his lyrics and rhythms on idioms and proverbs as a typical indigenous musician. His beliefs in tradition and cultural values, has made him to be more conservative in his lyrics composition which has earned him numerous fans across the Federation. His ability to sing Fuji music according to how it was found has given him a lot of musical titles as a mark of achievements and has distinguished him from other leading Fuji acts. Both Pasuma and Saheed Osupa were intimate friends before they both went separate ways as a result of allegations coming from Osupa over Pasuma for stealing his intellectual properties without acknowledgement which is better composed by Pasuma.

After several efforts from Saheed Osupa to stop Pasuma from such unprofessional attitude proved abortive, this made Saheed Osupa to embark on abusive lyrics to tarnish and dethrone Pasuma as a self acclaim wave making Fuji star. The dispute continued with a lot of controversies trailing their individual career as the fans are injecting more infernos to the issues.


In an instance, Osupa’s fans hailed the constructive gesture of their artist for his steadyfast in acquiring series of housing properties in Lagos and Ibadan which makes him more superior to Pasuma. In fact some of his fans have challenged the inability of Pasuma to release 4 in 1 Cds which Osupa has done with pleasure. However, Pasuma’s fans also made it known that Pasuma Wonder is the most entertained Fuji act that has taken the Fuji music to the highest level. He has being able to infuse hip-hop to the Fuji music which has made the music to be more acceptable by the social elites. It was once rumoured that Pasuma sets for a house warming ceremony, the rumour was debunked as a result of no structure and reality on the ground. One of Pasuma’s fans argued that the house was built but it belongs to Pasuma’s mother.

Another enmity that arose among Pasuma/Saheed Osupa was the sudden Installation of Saheed Osupa as the King of music, which is the highest title in Fuji music. This controversial installation created a lot of foes between Pasuma, Saheed Osupa and other Fuji musicians to engage in verbal war that split the Fuji house into factions. Some factions claimed that Osupa did not deserve the Installation while other agitated that the Installation came as a result of his hard-work and his ability to promote Fuji music to the cultural value.

However, this battle of self-supremacy has hindered the chance of new Fuji artist to emerge. Both Pasuma and Osupa came into prominence in the early 90’s, since their inception into the Fuji music, it has been one controversy or the other. They battle for album titles, lyrics and the richest. It is only time that will tell their re-union as many fans awaits their friendship again.

Islam for Muslims / 16 Questions Prophet Muhammad Answered by experts: 10:31am On Oct 13, 2010
16 questions Prophet Muhammad answered
By Abdulfatah Oladeinde
Friday, October 08, 2010

Anas Ibn Malik reports that a Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah, Prophet Muhammad, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and greeted him in the mosque.

The Messenger of Allah asked him where he came from. The Bedouin said:” I came from far seeking answers to some questions”. Our master told him to ask his questions”:
1 I wish to be an intelligent man, what should I do?
Holy Prophet Replied, “Fear Allah”.

2 I wish to be a loyal servant to Allah and do what He wants me to do?
Holy Prophet Replied, “Read the Qur’an.”
3 I wish to be enlightened and have peace of heart?
Holy Prophet Replied, “Remember Death”.
4 I wish to be protected against enemies?
Holy Prophet Replied, “Trust in Allah”.

5 I wish to follow the Straight Path?
Holy Prophet Replied, “Do good to others for Allah’s sake.”
6 What should I do so that Allah does not abase me?
Holy Prophet Replied, “ Do not respond to the desires of your flesh.”
7 I wish to have a long life?
Holy Prophet Replied, “Praise and thank Allah.”
8 I wish for prosperity?

Holy Prophet Replied, “Be in a state of ablution at all times.”
9 How can I save myself from the hellfire?
Holy Prophet Replied, “Protect your eyes and your tongue and your hands and what is below your waistline against evil.”
10 How can I cleanse myself from my sins?
Holy Prophet Replied, “Shed tears for what you have done and repent by undoing what you have done wrong.”

11 I wish to be a respectable person?
Holy Prophet Replied, “Then, don’t ask for anything from anybody.”
12 I wish to be honourable?
Holy Prophet Replied, “Then don’t divulge the wrong doings of anybody.”
13 What should I do to protect myself from the tortures of the grave?
Holy Prophet Replied, “Recite the Surah Mulk.”
14 What should one do to be rich?

Holy Prophet Replied, “Read the Surah Muzammil.”
15 How should I calm my fear of the day of last judgment?
Holy Prophet Replied, “Remember Allah before you eat anything and before you sleep.”
16 What should I do to feel the presence of Allah when I make my prayers?
Holy Prophet Replied, “Give the utmost care in taking your ablutions and in being clean and pure.

after much effort at the tribunal, the case was dismissed. what a Nigerian.

But the change (Mr. Gbenga) did not relent on his quest to free and save kwara state.

He his ready once again to give it all with the support of everyone of you.
