Former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar      The 2023 general elections might have come and gone but the ripple effects, the national cries and joys it has left Nigerians with will take a long time to forget. Indeed it has already engraved the national ethos of failed promises and empty talks by the leaders, the so called winners of elections. When Nigerians reflect on the dismal and disappointing performances of the former President Muhammad Buhari, the APC Government of the past eight years, many teeth are gnashed in regrets to ever voting PMB/APC into power. Nigerians were looking for a reformed INEC so that they would use their powers of voting to remove the APC Government from office, February 2023, but alas, INEC, in collaboration with PMB, as the head of the disappointing APC government and the naira magic performance of BAT, ensured that all the tricks up the sleeves are brought to bear and BAT is declared President FRN.      In doing so, Wike, the wicked and vicious form

NOTICE FOR THE SPECIAL INVITATION TO ATTEND THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION OF GENERAL M urtala MOhammEd College (GMMC) Yola.   The school officially started and was known as the Elementary School Yola in 1920, then it became the Middle School Yola, and then the Provincial Secondary School (PSS) Yola in 1955, Government Secondary School (GSS) Yola in 1966/67.

TIDDO YO DADDO NATIONAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION CENTENARY CELEBRATION OF GMMC YOLA: THE UNFORSEEN HAPPENED. THE DEFERMENT TO March/April, 2022. The attention of the AD-HOC LOC was drawn to serious technical problems which nacessitate the deferment of the December  20th to 22nd, 2021 date fixed by the Congress. This did not come as a surprise as Adhoc LOC found itself face to face with the realities of phase 2 different from phase 1 where endowed alumni members responded beyond expectations to our calls to upgrade the school facilities hitherto in ruins, to give the 100 year old iconic school a facelift in line with its centenary Celebrations.  While we were on phase one, Adhoc LOC was very concious of time and drew attention of our Endowed alumni to collaborate, cooperate, sponsor events, donate funds, and avail their expertise from time to time for the phase two finals, but feeble attention was given to it. Adhoc LOC even suggested membership levies or membership dues to be paid to augment

Forwarded  AGITATORS FOR BIAFRA ARE HOLDING THE WRONG END OF THE STICK Agitators for Biafara are not well schooled in the art of struggle for freedom. How can you inflict economic pains to those you intend to liberate. You tried violence in the past and it failed. Go learn about non violent method from Mahatma Ghadi, Martin Luther ( JR) which worked very well for them. Mahatma Ghadi secured independence for India, while that of Martin Luther, it relatively ended racial discrimination.  Nelson Mandela tried guerrilla war, it didn’t work. In the end he was imprisoned. Back from prison, he deplored new strategies. One he engaged the apartheid regime in dialogue which won blacks some rights. Secondly he put sustained pressure on international community to persuade their ally-  the apartheid regime to end the obnoxious system. Thirdly he worked on himself to be moderate, a none communist and somebody who will not send the whites parking like Zimbabwe by promising not to dispossessed whites

 THE REPEAT OF 1966, DRUMS OF WAR. PART TWO. THE JOURNEY FROM LAGOS TO GAMBE VILLAGE, DECEMBER 1966. My narrative, the 'The repeat of 1966, drums of war' in my earlier post was the beginning of the scenario that led to the fracticidal, brutal and deadly Nigerian civil war, as a consequence of the crisis which ensued  after the gruesome coup de tat of the  15th January 1966, where some majority Igbo military officers spear headed the controversial coup that eliminated majority political and senior military officers from the Northern and Western Regions of Nigeria without a loss of life of any from the Igbo Eastern Nigeria. Lagos was as ever a bustling city and it remained so in spite of the monumental episode, the military coup that took place less than two months earlier, when I arrived Lagos to resume studies at Federal Science School, FSS Lagos. It appeared people in Lagos were oblivious of the happenings in the country, even though the main theater of action of the coup de t
