Alhaji Aminu Zaria, close associate of Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State, praised the governor’s efforts to transform the state despite inheriting significant debt.

64TH INDEPENDENCE DAY MESSAGE OF FADOJOE, LABOUR PARTY PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANT.

64TH INDEPENDENCE DAY MESSAGE OF FADOJOE, LABOUR PARTY PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANT.

Hello my fellow Nigerians and happy 64th independence to all Nigerians both home and abroad.

For the first time, it’s as if we are not celebrating anything even on our independence date, even some people have forgotten that today is Nigeria independence celebration, even when we were going through colonialism our spirit have not been this damped.

More than 64 years ago, Nigerians have been among the greatest people on earth, we have agriculture and cocoa. We have food in abundance in Nigeria. Our people were their brother’s keeper from the north to the south of Nigeria. There was an amalgamation that brought us together because the white people saw in us, the greatness that flowed from the Niger river to Lagos to Kaduna to Calabar, but today, those things that bind us together, are no longer things keeping us together.

Before independence Nigerians walk freely in any part of the country, when there is heat some even sleep midnight outside. But today even sleeping behind a well fenced gated gates, gated doors and gated windows and well locked house, citizens are still not safe. There is now no difference between those who are in prison and the kind of life some Nigerians are now forced to live due to the high level of insecurity.

64 years ago, Nigeria has one of the best currencies in the world that our naira could stand side by side with Dollars, Pounds etc. But today the same currency is one of the worst currencies in the world.

Nigerians were doing great in sports like boxing, wrestling, oh not to mention football, but what happened today? We are no longer so reckoned in international sports because everything has been collapsed by the kind of leaders we have at the helms of affairs. We were at fore front in education, industry and economy that people who even travel abroad to study will come back to work in Nigeria. And when they come back home, there is a job and brand new Peugeot 504 waiting for them.

We are one of the best nations in the world when it comes to oil. But today the entire nation is groaning under the yoke of fuel hike. And our refineries are just not working.

That was how sweet our country was before now. But little by little from one government to the other everything began to crash until we get to the level that an average Nigeria now walk about under depression to the extent that suicide is now on rampage.

And the situation has become the worst under president Bola Ahmed Tinubu. People don’t even know where the next meal will come from. President Tinubu promised a renewed hope, but it has been renewed hunger, renewed insecurity and renowed crashing of the economy.

Lawlessness by the so called privileged 1% has become the order of the day in a country that has law. The law is only for the masses that have to godfather to look up to.

Therefore, I want to call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to consider the unbearable suffering of the masses and do something on time as it’s obvious that his policies are not helping out.

Though this government has adopted divide and rule to silence voices of opposition. But soon the unbearable hunger will no longer allow the divide and rule to work again. Rather, they will be ready to go extra mile, to vote out all bad leaders and giving out of N5,000 to the youths on election days will mo longer work.

What do we have to do on the situation? If Nigeria must regain her place among the Comity of Nations, then we really have to jerk up and get ready to ensure we change the kind of leaders we elect.

I know that things cannot continue this way. I know that the masses will take their country back through the power of the ballot and Nigeria will be great again!

May God bless you all.
May God bless me.
May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Happy Independence.

I remain Faduri Oluwadare Joseph popularly called Fadojoe.
Labour Party presidential aspirant and
The leader of Rescue Movement for New Nigeria aka Rescue the Vulnerable Initiative.

#Endbadgovernance: Northern Coordinators Pull out of October 1 Protest

#Endbadgovernance: Northern Coordinators Pull out of October 1 Protest

…Fear Hoodlums will Hijack it again

Less 24 hours to commence the  planned October 1 Nationwide protest,  Northern Coordinators of the #Endbadgovernance Protest across the 19 northern stated have pulled out on grounds that organizers haven’t done enough provide security for protesters.

According to the Coordinators, the decision to pull out was reached after failure on side of national organizers to resolve the knotty issues around how to safeguard  protesters and Wade off hoodlums from hijacking the process again.

Fadojoe raises alarm over Bobrisky rumoured house arrest, Calls for thorough investigation

Fadojoe raises alarm over Bobrisky rumoured house arrest, Calls for thorough investigation.

A presidential aspirant under Labour Party and the leader of Rescue Movement for New Nigeria, aka Rescue the Vulnerable Initiative, Comrade Faduri Oluwadare Joseph popularly called Fadojoe, has raised alarm over the rumour that Bobrisky was not put in jail, but rather in an apartment despite that the court sentenced him/her to jail.

“I am disturbed over what we are reading on on social media connecting with Bobrisky, VeryDarkMan and the EFCC. I am not concerned about just the people mentioned, but the dignity of our dear country. If what is being circulated on social media that a person was sentenced to jail, but was rather taken to an apartment instead of the prison is truly the exact situation in a country like Nigeria that has a law? Then it will be not only be total ignominy to the institution involved and the entire nation, but also a total mockery of the judiciary. And such should not be swept under the carpet.

“In America for instance, Huspuppi is in the prison, not an apartment, Ron Kelly is in prison, not an apartment. So there is no sacred cows as supposed to be in any society. So if an ordinary Bobrisky is truly kept in an apartment when the court sentenced him/her to jail, then every one involved should not only be removed, but be tried and appropriate punitive measures is given.”

The USA based activist also stressed that, in another disturbing development, it’s been circulated on social media, “that EFCC officers busted into a female hostel while some of the female students were naked, thereby leading to seeing the female students nakedness. If this is true it’s not only an ordinary crime, but it’s a heinous crime that borders on human right violation.

“Therefore, I call on the authority concerned to swing into action and carry out full fledged investigation into such serious and weighty allegations and whoever is found culpable, the law should take its full action no matter the level of such personnel.

“Also the situation where our youths who are involved in content creation are now being hunted as criminals is totally uncalled for. Though we know that there are those carrying out illegal activities using social media, but it should not be an opportunity to tag all youths driving Benze as criminals, without proper investigation. Even if there is suspicion, then those suspected should be invited with dignity for proper investigation in professional manners. Because even if anyone is accused, the law provides that the accused should be presumed innocent until giving fair hearing and determined otherwise by a court of competent jurisdiction.

“In summary, I am seizing this opportunity to call on the officials of the EFCC to carry out their constitutionally assigned duties in most professional ways and at the same time ensure that the discharged of their duties should not be taken as opportunity to engage in human rights violation. And that the government ensure that there is also proper monitoring of how EFCC officials carry out their duties and ensure that erring officers are brought to book to serve as deterrent to others”, he concluded.
