You're right. Buhari is a SIMPLETON.


Dude, that quote was made in hausa and completely twisted. The proverb or adage has an entirely different meaning. I am not Hausa but even i chose to research it. Do the same please.

Please people, read the manifesto before you say anything negative. There are some serious and powerful points for us as citizens to really think about.

We should not have been speculating

By now we should have know what he stands for

But Buhari is not saying much and that's worrying

He says a lot but you probably never took the time to look for it and the press don't promote what he says unless its a PDP misquote of what they claim he said. Read the manifesto objectively and make your decision, i put the link up there. It is some powerful stuff i must confess.

Politics / What If We Are Wrong About Buhari? What If...? by Thirdborn: 9:59pm On Dec 17, 2014
Objectively and without bias (religious or ethnic), please read this and really think. What if this is our last chance to actually get it right? Even if only 50% of these are actually achieved wouldn't we be well on our way to prosperity? What if ......? We will never know unless we act NOW. Do we remain like this or take a chance? If these last 6 years didn't finish us, not changing course for the next 4 years might. Fortune favours the bold. Nigerians, let's be bold TOGETHER!

Hold apc accountable and not fed govt.maybe u have forgotten this statement or u should also do ur digging on that "if GEJ is declared winner, I will make Nigeria ungovernable" courtesy of buhari 2011 election n after this statement we all know the outcome.

It was a PDP politician, Alhaji Lawal Kaita who actually said Nigeria would be ungovernable if Jonathan became president in 2011.
Unlike many gullible Nigerians, i do my homework before shooting my mouth off. Buhari never said it, PDP just want Nigerians to think he did to ruin his credibility. So you do your own digging and prove me wrong.

Politics / What Is The Government Keeping From Us? by Thirdborn: 11:41pm On Dec 09, 2014
This statement was made by President Goodluck Jonathan on 24th June 2012 during his media chat on NTA; “They believe that when they attack a church, Christian youths will revolt against Muslim youths, and they don’t care about who dies in the process.
“They also think that government will be destabilised when they are attacking churches. Watch out, if it doesn’t work, of course, we will stop it, but if it doesn’t work, the same Boko Haram will start attacking mosques to instigate Muslim youths to attack Christians.” The following Friday bombs were discovered at Fagge mosque in Kano. This is not hearsay or a lie but a verifiable fact. I remember this statement more than anything else he said during that chat because it set off bells in my head. I had to dig for full text of the chat to make sure he actually said it. My question is, how did he know? Now add this utterance to others he has made over the last few years and bells start to ring. He said in January 2012 that Boko Haram had infiltrated his government he also claimed to know who they are at one point. On why he was treating Boko Haram with kid gloves he said "They are our siblings; you can't set the army to go and wipe out your family". I said it before and I will say it again, this government aren't cowards, they are willing collaborators. Nigerians are dying everyday while they play politics with our lives. Many times they threatened to reveal the names of the sponsors but failed to do so and when an Australian priest affiliated with the government mentioned names he was quickly discredited and disowned by the government. Why is it that a bomb always goes off when there is a crisis in government? They have intentionally created chaos so as to divide Nigerians along ethno-religious lines and they have succeeded so far because we have been the most ignorant and gullible human beings since 2010. The lie has become the truth and the truth a lie. If Nigerians have ever needed a reason to unite and stand firm to say "Enough is enough", this is it. We are better than this. We need to hold the government accountable and take appropriate action.

Good!!! Tell me,hw do u explain this slogan chanted by islamic terrorist during killing,maiming and bombing "Allahu Akbar"?
The terrorist world wide,which RELIGION do they profess?
Mallam,I tink u shud jst swallow the pill that ISLAM is a religion of the sword!!!Thank U

Dude was Timothy Mcveigh (The Oklahoma city bomber)a Muslim, was Anders Behring Brevik (Norway mass muderer) a Muslim, was Ted Kaczynski (The una-bomber) a Muslim? In fact Joseph Kony of the Lord's Resistance Army(LRA) in Uganda hid behind the veil of Christianity to perpetrate terror on people. Terrorism is not the monopolized by 1 religion, many people use the veil of religion to commit evil. Blame the people not the religion. PS. Yes, Muslims say "Allahu Akbar" everyday of their lives just as Christians say "God is good" or "God is great". They all mean the same thing. Knowledge is power.

Politics / FACT: It Was PDP That Promised To Make Nigeria Ungovernable In 2011, Not Buhari. by Thirdborn: 5:33pm On Nov 29, 2014
4th August, 2014

For the record and your information, I, the author am definitely never PDP, but I am not APC either. I will only support the best human beings from whichever party they emanate. I am totally not a political animal; I am averse to democratic politics. The only party I ascribe to as yet and have invested thought and finance in is SNP. So for those taken to lies and slander, you can call me a paid whatever and APC author all you care, you will know deep inside that you do not even succeed in fooling yourself. My people, have never been in power, and I do not care and ever see power coming to my people. Now let’s proceed.

There are several important points to be presented here. Best highlighted:

1. Major General Muhammadu Buhari never said he will make Nigeria ungovernable in 2011 in any public format

2. It was a PDP politician, Alhaji Lawal Kaita who actually said Nigeria would be ungovernable if Jonathan became president in 2011.

3. It was Jonathan’s media spokesman, Reuben Abati who sat down and largely concocted the slanderous libel against Buhari’s name in April 2011.

4. General Muhammadu Buhari took Reuben Abati to court for damaging his name.

5. The Jonathan Presidency begged Major General Buhari to settle the case with Reuben Abati and the Guardian out of court.

6. General Buhari obliged and settled out of court. Reuben Abati with The Guardian published an unreserved apology to Buhari in the Guardian of 11th July, 2013.

7. Late General Azazi referred to the PDP “ungovernable” crises and anger that did actually lead to Boko Haram terror franchise hired by the PDP.

These are amazing facts which I have been shocked to discover since I paid attention to this matter.

To imagine that the PDP can know that Buhari never made this statement and that they (the PDP Presidency) begged and apologized for it, yet all they did was kept Reuben silent and threw out other canines, Metuh and co, to continue right where Reuben stopped, is some of the most sick and evil stuff one can encounter or ever imagine. All this against the elderly, respectable General, because they see it as a fancy tool to generate animosity against their strongest single adversary… as a tool to hold on to power?

It is one thing to fabricate a lie against someone. It is another thing to transplant an evil of your doing unto a person who you know is innocent. That is the most evil, evil in the books in my humble view. This precisely is what PDP did and continues to do. Buhari was nearly bombed to death and the dogs continue to utter their putrid trash and invented slanderous concoctions against the poor elderly gentleman. It is frankly satanic. He is such a compassionate gentleman, no joke, if it was me who had all the facts you will read below, I would have been all over the place letting the truth be known and getting the slanderous liars locked up forever.

A Timeline of Lies and Slander:

Major General Muhammadu Buhari never said he will make Nigeria ungovernable in 2011 in any public format

Point number one needs no referencing. I’ve done the research tons of times. Since I wrote my article, “Now that Nigeria is ungovernable, what next,” on the 15th of March, 2014 [http://ends.ng/?p=679], no one has commented and refuted my results. Buhari never in any public media threatened to make Nigeria ungovernable in 2011. That is final fact. Nothing more need be said.

It was a PDP politician, Alhaji Lawal Kaita who actually said Nigeria would be ungovernable if Jonathan became president in 2011.

It was a PDP politician, Alhaji Lawal Kaita, who is quoted to have said, “The North is determined if it happens, to make Nigeria ‘ungovernable’ for President Jonathan or any other Southerner who finds his way to the seat of power on the platform of the PDP against the principle of the party’s zoning policy.”

The big problem was in PDP. When Yar’Adua died, PDP northern politicians wanted power to stay in the north and as such they insisted that Jonathan should not succeed him. It was PDP politicians and only PDP politicians who threatened to make Nigeria ungovernable if Jonathan emerged the party nominee and ascended to the presidency that will make the nation ungovernable, which they did. And Jonathan knew this and know them full well. He eats and dines with them but has watched us die in our thousands and lose our farming land and livelihood whole he has not brought a single one of them to book. He protects and goes to bed with them so long as they focus the ungovernability on the north. One now understand why Jonathan’s best man, former PDP Chairman and now appointed Railway head, Bamanga Tukur famously said that Boko Haram was fighting for justice and another name for justice. It’s an in house thing. Boko Haram became an invaluable tool to be hired and utilized by the party, and to be sustained as a weapon of slander against party opponents. It helped to galvanize votes by nurturing strange harmony in extremists and religious fanatics, especially northophobes who never cared to study the truth. (Truths like- northerners select southerners like Obasanjo or support Middle Belt Christians like Gowon into power; and truth like; why will northerners bomb up their own home-land and purposely destroy their chief resource – farming – to make a point).

It was Jonathan’s media spokesman, Reuben Abati who sat down and largely concocted the slanderous libel against Buhari’s name in April 2011.

It was Reuben Abati of The Guardian; that our friend, that spun the yarn about Buhari. It was Reuben that sat one dark night and concocted the malicious slanderous tales, rerouting the PDP terror statement to Buhari’s person. Reuben capitalized on our sectarianism, knowing full well that to most of us, one Hausa, or Fulani man was just the same as another Hausa or Fulani(to be more correct) man. Knowing that we had heard the statement made by PDP’s Kaita, and with Buhari’s “Baboon and Gorilla” Hausa adage with which he did promise that if what happened in 2011 repeated in 2015 (note the year), the Nigeria would witness a people’s upheaval; Reuben manufactured a tale one April night in 2011 and published this in the Guardian. It was captioned, “For the attention of general Buhari.” This was the article that was well buffered to make many careless Nigerians jump on the evil and satanic bandwagon of Buhari accusers. I have again fully well described Reuben for who he is and what he did and how he did it, in the recent past. See: “Reuben Abati: Nigeria’s Most Evil Genius?” [http://ends.ng/?p=1252]

General Muhammadu Buhari took Reuben Abati to court for damaging his name.

Of course, like anyone of us would, Buhari did not fancy this and he promised to take Reuben and the Guardian to court, and he did. Buhari took them to court for libel and slander. ‘Usual suspect’ General Muhammadu Buhari’s lawyers threatened to sue the President of Nigeria’s spokesperson, Reuben Abati in a letter sent on the 11th of July, 2011 for “inventing libelous” allegations against the person of the ex-President, accusing him of instigating post-election violence. The letter was sent on behalf of General Buhari by Harrison Ogalagu for his lawyer, Tope Adebayo. The accusations had been made against him in Rueben’s Guardian newspaper publication. [See: Post Election Violence: Buhari Threatens To Sue Reuben Abati For Libel; SaharaReporters, Jul, 17 2011]

The Jonathan Presidency begged Major General Buhari to settle the case with Reuben Abati and the Guardian out of court.

This is hard to believe but true. It was in all major news media. The Jonathan Presidency did beg General Muhammadu Buhari to settle out of court. And the noble man that Buhari is; he accepted. When this was happening, many of us read it but did not really realize what matter it was about – that it was about the great tarnishing of General Buhari’s name. It was in different media under the various captions – “Presidency begs Buhari to settle slander case out of court,” in DailyPost [http://dailypost.ng/2013/01/13/presidency-begs-buhari-to-settle-slander-case-out-of-court/], and “Presidency Begs Buhari To Settle Abati Libel Suit Out Of Court,” in Leadership, etc.

Here’s a quote from leadership:

“The presidency has convinced former head of state General Muhammadu Buhari to settle out of court the libel suit he had initiated against the special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Dr Reuben Abati.

Abati had on page 51 of the April 22, 2011, edition of The Guardian newspaper, written an opinion article entitled “For the attention of General Buhari”. In it, he claimed that Buhari made an inciting statement which led to the post-election violence that rocked some parts of the north.

The former presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), however, regarded the publication as defamatory, intended to lower his integrity and to bring him into public ridicule. Buhari consequently dragged Abati and The Guardian to court via suit no. ID/837/2011 and demanded N1billion damages from them.

But in a copy of the Terms of Settlement exclusively obtained by LEADERSHIP SUNDAY and filed before a Lagos High Court in Ikeja, the parties have agreed to settle the matter out of court.”

But after begging Buhari to make little of it, Reuben just shut up thereafter and the other Presidencies men went right on with the very same slander. Buhari being the gentleman, in fact over-gentlemanly, that he is, just sits back and watches these young desperate people secure their positions in hell for a little penny. It’s really stunning and terribly sad.

General Buhari obliged and settled out of court. Reuben Abati with The Guardian published an unreserved apology to Buhari in the Guardian of 11th July, 2013.

And here is the post-settlement publication and retraction by The Guardian and Reuben Abati:

GUARDIAN Re: For the attention of General Buhari

Thursday, 11 July 2013 00:00 Editor

SIR: “On April 22, 2011, The Guardian Newspaper published an article on page 51 titled “For the attention of General Buhari” wherein certain allegations were made against General Muhammadu Buhari’s alleged role in the violence emanating from the elections.

The publication was based on information which we believed to be reliable at that time. Since the publication, however, we now have reason to believe that certain parts of the story were not verified to be correct before the publication.

We assure General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) GCFR of our highest esteem and regret any distress or embarrassment which the said publication may have caused him.” — Editor

http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=126723%3Are-for-the-attention-of-general-buhari-&catid=77%3Aletters&Itemid=613#.Ud6sCDHgyY4.facebook

Late General Azazi referred to the PDP “ungovernable” crises and anger that did actually lead to Boko Haram terror franchise hired by the PDP.

Of course, we all remember what made NSA General Andrew Azazi a most-wanted and the things he said before he was killed in that helicopter crash. Andrew Azazi occupied the position of the top security man in Nigeria. No one else will be privy to information on the truth of Boko Haram as the head of nation’s security. Andrew Azazi clearly knew and could not take it. He spilled the beans. And he was martyred for it. Boko Haram died when Yar’Adua destroyed them. That was the end of Boko Haram. What remained was some scampering thugs without path or finance.

But as Andrew Azazi explained to us before he was martyred; these rag tags “suddenly got sophistication and finance” as a result of PDP zoning and primary power tussles. In Azazi’s words:

“PDP got it wrong from the beginning, from the on-set by saying Mr A can rule, Mr A cannot rule, Mr B can rule, Mr B cannot rule, according to PDP’s convention, rules and regulation and not according to the constitution {applause} and that created the climate for what has manifest itself, this way. I believe that there is some element of politicization. Is it possible that somebody was thinking that only Mr. A could win, and if he did not win, there will be problems in this society. Let’s examine all these issues to see whether the level of violence in the North East just escalated because Boko Haram suddenly became better trained, better equipped and better funded, and in any case how did they get it all done…”

May General Andrew Owoye Azazi;s soul rest in perfect peace. We will surely avenge his death in the Lords Mighty name. Amen.

Truth is, – everyone at the top knows these things. All the politicians on both sides of the aisle know the truth; it is only you and I, the masses who have been taken for a ride here and of course, it is only us who die… well, Buhari almost did. What a shame it would have been had he passed before most of us realized what he had and is being subjected to and are able to seek his forgiveness for participating in the wicked lies against him.

These are the facts. Everyone is invited to join this discussion and contribute what they know, so the truth can finally be clearly revealed and the guilty can be shamed while the innocent can be begged for forgiveness while they are still here with us. Let the devil be the liar.

I am an experienced script writer and filmmaker with a couple of credits (mostly international) on IMDb.com, for mostly short films but i learnt from great teachers who have written books on acting and script-writing (Hollywood). i'd like to help cos i was kinda impressed with your imagination.
Firstly there's no such thing as "Hollywood script format", its just the standard script format that film makers all over the world use. 
I am not asking you to change your script to fit the "Nollywood" style but as a Nigerian you have to have elements of realism in there. I didn't notice in the 5 pages what you referred to as "not meant for the Nigerian setting". This story will work in Nigeria, you only need a producer/director with vision ( and trust me, Fidelis Duker is not it) the only thing you need to alter is the dialogue, cos it seems too unnatural.
Another little problem might be the scene. The 5 pages automatically translates to 5 minutes so this scene is already too long for a series. For a movie it might work but for a series, you will have to make the scene really interesting to hold an audience for 5 minutes.
Also give the characters a little more personality to make them lovable or hate-able by an audience.
other than these small points, i still believe you have skill. I'd suggest you get some e-books on script-writiing to help you further cos writing scripts is a really tricky thing.
Another thing, when writing screenplays or scripts (international standard), when introducing a new character for the first time in the script, their names should be written in uppercase.
I hope i was helpful and didn't come across a different way.
i hope we can collaborate on a script some day.

@Sisi kill and Vesc, i miss u guys o'. Sisi, you no go kill me, that your "i love Nollywood" post was classic, keep it coming.

@dolly9, abeg abeg, listen to yourself for a minute. If you did that occasionally you'd know better.
dolly9:

Is it not better to create your own style or be original than 2 copy someone. When will u people stop dis useless comparison between hollywood & nollywood just 2 ridicule the latter.
Who does not  know that all those effects they use in hollywood are fake but u still enjoy and believe them. Besides is America and India not far advanced in technology and in their economy than Nigeria and Africa in general. So what are all dis baseless arguements abt. It is either u choose 2 watch  nollywood or hollywood. Afterall no one will put a gun 2 your head to watch what u detest. I like all the industries cos  they're all unique in their own ways but I'll choose nollywood over both hollywood and bollywood combined. Don't hollywood also glorify indiscriminate intimacy,nudity and violence etc which has contributed immensely 2 all these social vices in the society.


Hollywood effects are fake? i bet you still wet your pants when you watch some of the killer stuff they've done, you know why? Cos u were convinced. It looked real didn't it? I saw a hit and run accident in a nollywood movie the other day, long story short, my appendix burst. haba now, you sef know say them no try.

India far advanced? Do you know India is still considered a third world country? What the hell are we 9th world? Did kunle Afolayan shoot figurine in India?

Hollywood glorify violence? Wow, i guess all the cultism, armed robbery, hired killings, ritual killings, etc that i've been seeing in Nollywood movies are all Hollywood imports right?

Nobody is saying "don't watch nollywood" but haba, you sef know say we get far far faaaaar to go, so don't hate on people that say it. Blame the people doing it. Shikena.

Politics / Re: Plateau Massacre : Police arrest 377 suspects, prosecute 162 by Thirdborn: 8:33pm On Mar 10, 2010
I don't remember ever being as angry as i am with Nigerian leaders and politicians. Do you know why many people are afraid to commit crimes? It's because of fear of punishment. How the hell can the Jos problem be solved if people believe they can massacre innocent citizens and get away with it. For heavens sake these bastards called our leaders should prove they have no hand in this crisis by prosecuting the mobs that have have been mowing people down for the past few years. It is not too late to do this. By the time a couple of thousand of these murderers have been arrested, tried and executed, i doubt if many others will find mob action attractive. There is no way there can be peace if these people are still free because they simply lay low and plan other attacks. For heaven's sake the Nigerian government cannot sit idle and do nothing,
