Something Hisbah, Fulani and BH terrorists have long done with ease? Keep on deceiving yourself there.

True that. Congratulations to the newly wedded couple

To be a Nigerian is not by force, we SE and SS people are tired of been Nigerians , we know do again

Ok we are watching

Osibanjo reminds me of Gowon. They like talking of the beutiful tomorrow but are afraid of discussing the ugly today..
They romantice endlessly about the eldorado-potentials of Nigeria. They moan about the indivisibility of this amarphous union. Yet, they are afraid to speak the truth about the outrageous amount of Iniquitous history that has torpedoed Nigerias future..

Gowon used to move from one Eastern town to the other saying "sorry" to those he eliminated their parents in droves with the help of Britain during the war. Yet. While he is busy saying sorry, he's finding it hard to say the reasons he's saying sorry. If you think you are right, why are you raining sorry all over the place? If you think the Unity of your Nigeria is the best, why are you scared stiff to address the marginalizations that inhibits her laughable attempts at making progress?

This one drops this unity-begging topics twice every month since last year. He has started this new year again. It's as if, he is only there to announce unity sermons.

It is lack of equity and fair play and justice that breaks countries and causes civil wars, please check Ethiopia, South Sudan, Malaysia and Singapore

Truth and logic table

Why did they refer to Pantami as Dr., in this report?
Is he not a Prof. again?

And he NEVER addresses the glaring cases of injustice that riddle the system. He always skirts around that..Whether he avoids this to save his head or he believes everyone is being treated fairly is hard to call, but if the latter turns out to be the case, then the man needs to sit down and take a second look at his desperate claim to be "a man of God"..

I'm sure his former student whom he always told how he would have fixed the country 'if' he was allowed close to corridors of power will be watching in shock at his joining of the cabal to sing the usual song and asking is this the man we once knew. Discipline, honour and integrity and virtues difficult to keep.
