General Obasanjo may try but he cannot deny
the evidence of the civil war tragic history.
While he got over a thousand soldiers killed at
Ohoba, myself, Alani Akinrinade, and the
brilliant and hardworking Pincer Team of Ola
Oni, Iluyomade, Isemede, S.S. Tomoye,
Salawu, Okwarobo, Sunny Tuoyo, etc. did a
better job at the Third Marine Commando. I
have stated how it was done in The Tragedy of
Victory, by writing to set the Civil War records
straight.
Obasanjo says I only wanted to make money
that was why I wrote my book, after all I was
broke. I thank Obasanjo for unwittingly giving
credit that I did not steal money in the Army.
I believe that this country Nigeria ought to
know by now all the crooks parading
themselves as saints. Now I know why
Obasanjo was surprised at my financial
successes abroad, and then sent his wife
Stella of blessed memory to me. She was my
guest in Houston Texas for a week.
We have video and pictures of the visit with
witnesses like Jack Gonsoulin, Rod Anthony,
and Tom Britton.
I challenge Obasanjo to a debate on military
tactics and strategies on the Nigerian Civil
War. He wrote about his team. Who were
they? George Innih went the wrong way to
Arochukwu when Akinrinade needed
reinforcement for the final battle to capture Uli
Ihiala airport.
Akinrinade told him that he would shoot
George Innih anytime he showed up. Where
was Obasanjo’s fake Apollo Battalion that
operated behind enemy lines, when he could
not capture Ohoba? When Akinrinade called
him that Biafra troops had surrendered to him
and the Pincer team, Obasanjo, who was
coming from a party, got lost looking for them,
as he did not know where to go and did not
know the way to Amichi.
I am not qualified to comment on Obasanjo’s
political achievements, if any, for this country.
The people and posterity will do that. There is
no president in this country that he has not
condemned. Haba! He always thinks that he
has the preserve of knowledge on how to rule
this country. Did the country move forward
when he was Head of State or President? He
destroyed the heart of the national security.
We can see the result today. He destroyed
education in many ways. We see the result
today. He destroyed a lot of other things.
As for how he has treated his family shabbily,
his wife and children have openly made their
comments. Those comments are in public
domain today and forever, even though
Obasanjo cleverly brushes them aside in his
current book.
“I implore Obasanjo to stop lying before he
dies.”
It would be recalled that the launch of the
three-volume book was stopped by a court
injunction secured by a former friend of
Obasanjo, Prince Buruji Kashamuon, but
lawyers to Chief Obasanjo advised him to go
ahead with the launch.
Politics / Re: BREAKING: Osinbajo Emerges As Buhari VP - DailyTimes by jiggalo(m): 4:01pm On Dec 15, 2014
For the umpteenth time, former President
Olusegun Obasanjo, has come under verbal
attack over a three-volume memoir, My
Watch, he launched on 8 December, 2014.
The latest person to condemn the former Head
of State on the contents of the book is retired
Brigadier Godwin Alabi-Isama.
In an interview with P.M.NEWS newspaper
from his base in Ilorin, Kwara State, the retired
army general, while commenting on the book,
described Obasanjo as an incredible liar.
Retired Brigadier General Godwin Alabi-Isama.
Alabi-Isama stated that if he had read
the book before it was presented in Lagos last
Tuesday, he would have gone to the venue of
the launch to challenge Obasanjo.

Cosy In A New Photo
He said: “The tragedy of our civil war is
painful, but that Obasanjo is publishing fiction
about it is so outrageous. We should not allow
this liar to get away with his self-serving lies.’’
Below are the full texts of Alabi-Isama’s
response:
“I’m gravely pained to be trading words with
General Olusegun Obasanjo once again on the
history of Nigeria-Biafra War. He is an elder
and a former ruler who, ordinarily, should be
treated with utmost respect.
But how can one genuinely respect an old man
who tells lies like a badly raised child?
Obasanjo has obviously not recovered from the
shock inflicted on him by my book, The
Tragedy of Victory in which I exposed the
tissues of lies in his civil war memoir, My
Command. It is said that a lie may travel for a
thousand miles, but it takes just one step of
truth to catch up with it.
I’m alive to stand up to him on the lies he has
told on the war because I was a major
participant in it. I kept records. With facts and
figures at my finger tips, I have debunked
Obasanjo’s lies in part three of my book,
consisting of one hundred and sixty five pages,
sixty nine pictures, thirteen military strategies
and tactics, maps and documents.
This was the same Obasanjo who published a
fake Federal Government gazette that I was
found guilty by the Army when I was never
tried.
I have proved that Obasanjo was an
incompetent commander. I have proved that
he was a wily and cunning fellow, and an
incredible opportunist who reaped where he
did not sow.
I have proved that he was an ingrate and a
hypocrite. More importantly, I have proved that
he was a coward, who ran away from the war
front to go and look for phantom ammunition.
Rather than respond to my claims the way a
gallant officer should, he has now responded
like a motor-park tout, impugning my person
and questioning my ethnic lineage. I never said
I was from Ibadan. I only schooled there.
General Obasanjo, this bolekaja style is so
demeaning. You live in a glass house, so stop
throwing stones. We, who have facts, pictures
and documents, meticulously kept over the
years, can tell the whole world one or two
things about you.
“Have a look at this attached picture at your
wedding to your first wife Remi. When the
photographer wanted to take the picture of the
bride and groom and their parents, you said a
few things about your parents which I still
remember.
L-R: Alabi-Isama, mother of bride groom,
Obasanjo and his bride, Remi.
It was only Remi’s mother that took the
picture with us. Please, don’t mess with the
memory of my dear parents. You know my
mother, an Ilorin woman, and you also saw her
at the war front. She told me who my father
was and she spoke his language, and took me
to his home town when he died.
I went to primary school in Owu, so I know
your family very well. You should be honest
enough to tell the world the story of the man
who was your father. I told you and wrote in
my book that any person who does not
appreciate the efforts of women has had no
good mother. Please, don’t go beyond military
tactics and strategies when dealing with me.
“You say in volume three of your book My
Watch that I could be in bed with a woman
while radioing my commander that I was in
pursuit of rebels. Hundreds of thousands of
those who have read my book The Tragedy of
Victory——a six hundred and seventy-page
book, complete with four hundred and fifty
pictures and thirty nine military strategies and
tactics, maps and documents—- will call you a
liar.
I am so surprised and even embarrassed that
a man of your status is still trading in gutter
rumours. An elder with a filthy mind, a leader
who lacks wisdom of age, does not deserve
any respect.
“I’m the same Godwin Alabi-Isama that
commanded the troops that liberated today’s
Cross River State in thirty days of battle from
Calabar to Obubra with no single casualty.
This is the same Alabi-Isama that advanced
480 kilometres in 30 days from Calabar to Port
Harcourt, liberating today’s Akwa Ibom, Rivers
and Bayelsa States with 35,000 men and
women with 15000 on logistics, building roads
and pontoons, with 8 men and 2 officers as my
casualties. Obasanjo ordered the attack of
Ohoba, a mere 24 miles from Owerri, in one
hour of battle, more than 1000 Nigerian
soldiers were dead.
“Obasanjo claims that when I once played
squash with him, I cheated. This incredible liar
has forgotten that there were witnesses to that
game. Those witnesses are still alive, and they
remember what really happened.
I played squash with him once in my life. He
could not make a point because I was not one
of his sycophants who would allow him to win
a game just to massage his huge ego. Look,
General Obasanjo, there was no way you could
have beaten me in any game.
You do not have the physique and agility to do
that. Apart from being a popular sports man
and soccer captain in Ibadan Boys High
School, I was Sports Officer in the Nigerian
Army, playing games from soccer to tennis,
athletics etc.
You never played any games at school let
alone in the Army. If you had been diligent at
your physical exercises as we were taught to
be, your protruding tummy would not have
become a butt of joke to many officers and
men of the Army.
General Obasanjo may try but he cannot deny
the evidence of the civil war tragic history.
While he got over a thousand soldiers killed at
Ohoba, myself, Alani Akinrinade, and the

Nigeria: Ojiji Mobile Devices
Introduce First Indigenous
Smartphone
25 November 2013 , By Eseohe Ebhota, Source:
Daily Trust
Ojiji is an igbo word which means "handy" or
"handheld". Now, the name applies to a brand of
an android device which has the ability to satisfy
consumers' basic and intermediary needs.
Manufactured by a firm in South Korea owned by
a Nigerian living there, the Ojiji Fiery range, the
manufacturer explained, is being introduced into
the Nigerian market because of the increased
demand in the use of android devices and
smartphones. The Ojiji mobile devices are divided
into 3 namely:
Ojiji Fiery 4 which gives you a smart power that
is affordable as it satisfies your basic and
intermediary needs for digital power.
Ojiji Fiery 5 gives you a classic smart power with
contemporary innovations at an unexpected
speed with increased fun.
Ojiji Fiery Note 5 leaves you with a premium
smart power with both contemporary and present
technology, designed for winners to migrate
seamlessly, the odds notwithstanding.
New Media met with the staff of Ojiji Nigeria
Limited during the just-concluded maiden edition
of the "Made-in-Aba" Fair which was held in
Abuja. One of them, Vivian Ogbuokiri who spoke
with this reporter affirmed the phones are
durable, and have long battery life and lots of
applications.
The Ojiji Power Bank is a hand-held device that
can be used to charge a BlackBerry, Iphone,
Ipad, or even an Android phone. "If properly
charged, the power bank could last for a whole
day and it takes just about six hours to charge it
completely", Ogbuokiri said. The guaranty for the
Ojiji power bank is one year.
The features of the device include a four-
gigabyte memory capacity, 512 ram, duo core
five-megapixel high-definition camera with one-
megapixel in front, 4.3 wide visual (800 by 40)
high definition display and wi-fi hotspot.
The ingenuity of a Nigerian to manufacture an
indigenous mobile device shows that Nigeria is
also moving ahead with global technological
advancements. This will help to improve the
economy of the country as well as giving Nigeria
a place among technologically advanced
countries in the world.

An Army Colonel, some junior officers and
soldiers reportedly helped members of the
dreaded terrorist group, Boko Haram in the
North eastern part of the country.
According to Vanguard, the shocking revelation
which was made at the weekend occurred as
the military personnel were involved in the
offensive to reclaim communities taken over by
the Boko Haram terrorists in Adamawa
Nigerian soldiers fighting Boko Haram in the
Northern part of the country
A high ranking military personnel who did not
want to be named said, the colonel who is a
Muslim was Commanding a team of three
Armoured Personnel Carriers, APC’s, with the
capability of firing up to a range of
1.5kilometres or more, deliberately set the
APCs on fire between Gulak and Madagali, and
ran into the bush with his team instead of
firing at the advancing terrorists.
It was gathered that the Army authorities were
angered by the report and ordered the arrest of
the commander, the junior officers as well as
the soldiers under his command.
A source that was aware of the development
revealed that before the embarrassing incident
occurred, the Special Forces of the Nigerian
Army who commenced the putsch to rout
Boko Haram terrorists from Bazza, Michika,
Gulak and Madagali from Vimtim, had
successfully dealt with the sect, and inflicted
heavy casualties on the terrorists up till Gulak
He said between Gulak and Madagali, the
Colonel who had all along been prided with air
surveillance reports, was again informed that
Boko Haram terrorists were approaching his
team in six Toyota Hilux Pick Up vans from
the Madagali axis of the state.
“However, rather than blasting and taking out
the terrorists in their pick-up vans; he ordered
his soldiers to jump out of the APC’s and set
the armoured tanks on fire, without realising
that he was being monitored. This was
shocking because the terrorists were armed
with weaponry which were grossly inferior to
the firepower of the Nigerian Army Amoured
tanks. After accomplishing the sabotage act,
the Colonel and the junior officers and soldiers
ran away into the bush, claiming that they
were overpowered by a better armed group of
Boko Haram terrorists,” the source said.
The source further disclosed that the action of
the Colonel and soldiers under his command
ascertained the believes by the top hierarchy
of the military that there were so many fifth
columnists in the army working against the
country’s determination to wipe out Boko
Haram terrorists from Nigeria.
However, a Board of Inquiry, BoI, had been set
up by the Army authorities to investigate the
Colonel and his soldiers after which a Military
Court Martial would be set up to try them for
conspiracy, treason and willful sabotage
among others.
Reacting to the development, a senior officer
said: “You can now see why the Military Court
Martial which is currently sitting is inevitable.
The uninformed would feel that soldiers who
are fighting the nation’s battle are being
unjustly punished. But the truth is that many
of them are sabotaging Nigeria and making the
insurgents look formidable for reasons that
cannot be explained. Some of them appear
sympathetic to the insurgents. How can it be
explained that several APCs that cost up to
$1million each in some cases or more will be
willfully destroyed by Commissioned Officers,
COs, who swore to defend the territorial
integrity of their nation, just to help terrorists?
That is treason of the highest order.”
The source hinted that the new strength and
determination with which Nigerian soldiers had
been fighting Boko Haram, resulting in the
killing of several commanders of the sect as
well as hundreds of their foot soldiers, was
bore out of the resolve of the Nigerian army
high command to sanction any soldier
pursuing a different course aside that of the
Federal Government.
It would be recalled that Air Chief Marshal
Alex Badeh, the Chief of Defence Staff, CDS,
had last week cleared the air that the death
penalty passed on 12 Nigerian soldiers by a
military tribunal was lawful and in accordance
with military dictates.
The CDS made this known while speaking at a
three-day conference organised by the
National Security Adviser in collaboration with
Trim Communication Nigeria Ltd on Media/
Securit.
“The day you join the military you have signed
off whether life or death, and it is obey before
complaint. How can a soldier just jump out of
the APC because you want to donate APC to
Boko Haram; and somebody is there talking
about constructive mutiny. The laws are there,
if you run away from the enemy, you will die
and that is what the military law says. Apart
from the old Nigerian law, we abide by the
military law. Nobody forces or conscripts
anybody into the military. It is a voluntary
service, and so if we have this type of
challenge, you should be able to confront it
and not to run away,” Badeh said.
It would be recalled that on October 9, the
European Union (EU) condemned the death
sentence handed 12 Nigerian soldiers by a
military tribunal over charges of mutiny . The
international body seems not to be the only
group against the sentence as some other
concerned Nigerians have also reacted to the
development .
The Nigerian Army on October 3, 2014, set up
a General Court Martial to try another 97
personnel for various offences ..
committed in the ongoing counter-terrorism
operation in the North-Eastern part of the
country.

developed Northern part of Nigeria than
in the wet, coastal, more-developed
South.
Insult to intelligence
The larger population of the North is an
elephant in the Nigerian living-room.
According to the last disputed census of
2006, there are 75 million Nigerians
living in the North and 65 million in the
South. This is balderdash! As long as
we continue to accept such blatant lie,
there can be no true democracy in
Nigeria. Electoral results must continue
to be falsified to conform to it. As long
as we continue to entertain such outright
falsehood, we shall continue to be
subjected to a “born to rule” mentality on
the part of some mischievous Northern
politicians.
The assertion that there are more people
in the North than in the South is an
insult to intelligence and commonsense.
All over West Africa, the coastal states
are more densely and highly populated
than the arid desert hinterlands. Nobody
has been able to come up with a
reasonable reason why Nigeria would be
the only exception to this rule. Most of
the people in Egypt live on a strip along
the Nile River. But in Nigeria, we are
meant to believe most of the people live
in the desert.
Some make the case that Northern
polygamy leads to more births. If so,
why are there only 30 million people in
Saudi Arabia, a country more than twice
the size of Nigeria? The Saudis are also
polygamous. If there are so many more
live-births in the North than in the South,
this should be reflected in children
immunization programs: but it is not.
Everything we know about demographics
contradicts the inflated population of the
North relative to the South. The
economic opportunities in the South far
outweigh those in the North. That
means economic migration is bound to
be southward and not northward. The
states with the highest internally
generated revenues all come from the
South; while eight of the last ten are
from the North. No Northern state
features in the top ten.
Mythical Kano
The North regularly trots up Kano as the
largest state of the federation, but there
is no doubt that this is also pure fiction.
There is no way that there can be more
people in Kano State than in Lagos State
or even Oyo State. Let me be even more
categorical. Kano cannot be as
populous as Ibadan. Kano cannot even
have half the population of Lagos.
We were told Kano State was bigger in
population than Lagos State. Then
Jigawa State was carved out of Kano in
1991. But lo and behold, the remaining
rump of Kano was still bigger than
Lagos. In 1991, we were told there were
5.8 million people in Kano State, while
5.7 million were in Lagos. In 2006, Kano
was awarded a population of 9.4 million;
more than Lagos which was given 9.1
million.
In the meantime, Jigawa was awarded
4.3 million people in 2006. If this were
to be believed, it would mean Kano
(including Jigawa) had outpaced Lagos
by more than four million people by
2006. That is impossible. Moreover,
Kano was awarded 44 local government
areas; Jigawa 27 and Lagos only 20.
Why any right-thinking person would
believe Kano State has more people than
Lagos State is beyond me. For years,
the total amount of internally generated
revenue in Kano was less than 6 billion
naira a year. In the last year or so, it is
now averaging 20 billion. But get this:
the internally generated revenue in Lagos
is 219 billion naira. So why would
people be moving to Kano instead of
Lagos? Where are the jobs in Kano to
attract them relative to Lagos?
Why would more people keep moving to
Kano where there is insurgency; from
Maitasine to Boko Haram, relative to
Lagos where there is none? The answer
is simple. The large population of Kano
relative to Lagos is bogus. It is pure
fiction! If there were more people in
Kano than in Lagos, it would show up,
for example, in waste-generation. How
much waste does Kano produce relative
to Lagos? The answer is only a fraction.
How many houses and physical
structures are there in Kano relative to
Lagos? There is no comparison. Google
satellite maps show a concentration of
people and houses in Kano city centre.
Everywhere else is sparsely populated.
This is not the case with Lagos. It is
not the case with Ibadan. It is not the
case with Aba. If there are so many
people up North, where are the people?
Where do they live? Which vehicles take
them from A to B? How many of these
vehicles are in Kano relative to Lagos?
Only a fraction!
Magical Zamfara
Precisely because we have accepted the
lie of Northern population supremacy
over the South, Attahiru Jega and his
INEC cohorts decided to sneak further
falsehood past us. Having discovered far
more double-registration of voters in the
North than in the South, INEC still went
ahead to create additional polling units,
allocating a disproportionate number of
these to the North. However, the very
audacity of INEC in the attempted
perpetration of this fraud has brought to
light certain anomalies in the 2011
elections, especially as it relates to the
North-West.
INEC’s recent cleanup exercise of the
voters register is a big indictment of the
North. INEC discovered that there are
far more double-registration of voters in
the North than in the South. The
greatest fraud in this regard is
committed in the North-West, and the
most fraudulent state in the country
turns out to be Zamfara.
Sokoto and Zamfara states border the
Republic of Niger. Niger Republic is 19
times bigger than Sokoto and Zamfara
put together in land area. And yet, we
are meant to believe that in 2006, Sokoto
and Zamfara had a combined total
population of 6.9 million; more than half
of Niger Republic’s population of 12.9
million.
Zamfara’s fictitious population in the
2006 census was 3.2 million.
Nevertheless, INEC registered 2 million
voters for Zamfara for the 2011
elections. That means 62.5% of the
people in Zamfara registered to vote.
(This is roughly equal to the 64% of
people who registered to vote in the
2012 elections in the United States; a
country of far higher voter-awareness
and socialisation). This is fraud of the
highest order for the simple reason that
62.5% of the population of Zamfara
cannot be eligible to vote.
The voting age in Nigeria is 18 years.
According to U.N. demographics, 44% of
Nigerians are below the age of 15. This
means under no circumstances can 50%
of the population anywhere in Nigeria be
said to have registered to vote in any
election. It is not surprising therefore
that although INEC registered 2 million
voters for the 2011 elections in Zamfara,
the same INEC discovered in its clean-up
exercise this year that 1.1 million of
those voters (over 50%) were fraudulent;
the result of double registration.
Voodoo results
That means only 914,886 of the names
on the Zamfara register could be verified
as not pertaining to double registration.
(This does not tell us how many of the
remaining names are fictitious). But
then get this: according to INEC records,
927,219 people voted in Zamfara in the
2011 presidential election; mostly for
Buhari. That means more votes were
cast in Zamfara than the total number of
legitimately-registered voters, according
to the revelation of INEC’s clean-up
exercise.
Let us put this in stark terms. It means,
according to INEC, over 100% of the
Zamfara electorate voted in 2011. What
malarkey! By the time we factor in the
fictitious names that must have been in
the register, we can see that the figures
coming out of Zamfara have nothing
whatsoever to do with reality. In
Zamfara, there is procedural inflation of
figures pertaining to population and
elections.
This gives us an idea of how fraudulent
the North-West of Nigeria is with regard
to population and electoral figures. This
is not to say that manipulation and
falsification of figures is not standard
operational procedure in other states of
the federation, but INEC revealed that it
is most exaggerated in the North in
general and in the North-West in
particular.
It is not surprising therefore that, in the
2011 presidential election, there were
10.6 million “voters” from the North-
West alone; twice the number of voters
from either the South-West (4.6 million)
or the South-East (5 million). This is
preposterous, and is nothing but one big
lie!
Back to Jega
It is on this fictitious super-structure of
a larger population in the North relative
to the South that Jega’s INEC based its
outrageous allocation of 21,000
additional polling booths to the North,
relative to 8,000 to the South.
In defense of this regional-chauvinism,
Hakeem Baba-Ahmad added insult to
injury by saying: “Jega admitted that
many states in the south did not even
deserve the number of units they got, but
for the inclusion of the principle of
fairness and equity. In other words, if
INEC had been strict in sharing out the
units in accordance with voting
population and geography, the north
would have received even more.” What
poppycock!
In what appears to be the triumph of
commonsense and logic, the Senate has
advised Jega to suspend the allocation
of new polling units until after the 2015
general elections. That should be the
end of the matter. People who don’t
understand how the Nigerian political
system works feel Jega can ignore this
advice. He cannot! The legislative
branch of the government has oversight
powers over the executive branch. Such
a directive from the legislature to an arm
of the government is not subject to
debate. It must be obeyed otherwise
Jega will be sanctioned.

WHO BELIEVES THE LIE
THAT THERE ARE MORE

Everything turns upside down in Nigeria.
Logic becomes illogical. Wisdom
becomes foolishness. Two plus two
becomes seven. Hospitals become
mortuaries. Stealing is not corruption.
Education is a sin. In Nigeria, so many
things fly in the face of simple
commonsense.
One major example is the ridiculous idea
that, by some inexplicable freak of

developed Northern part of Nigeria than
in the wet, coastal, more-developed
South.
