Femi Fani Kayode Explodes! “Buhari Didn’t Just Divide Nigeria, He Killed Her”

Published

on

CUSTOMSGATE: $3 BILLION PROJECT RUNS INTO DISPUTE

Fiery former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode is at it again! He has taken a side with Obasanjo on Buhari despite their differences. In a message sent to Sahara weekly personally, he expressed his view concerning the current government and situations in Nigeria:


In 2015 I said Buhari WOULD divide Nigeria, you didn’t believe me. 
In 2017 I said Buhari HAD divided Nigeria, you didn’t believe me. 


In 2019 I said Buhari had pushed Nigeria to the BRINK of disintegration, you didn’t believe me. 


Today I say unless Buhari retraces his steps and we build bridges between ourselves there will be no Nigeria left by 2023, you do not believe me. 


At every point over the last 5 years my words have proved to be prophetic, I have been proved right and I have been vindicated. 
Those that doubt my admonitions, counsel and words do so at their own peril and frankly it takes NOTHING from me one way or the other. It is the message that matters and not what you think of the messenger. 
The bitter truth is that the greatest catalyst for the disintegration of Nigeria and the most useful and prized gift to those that believe Nigeria ought to break up into pieces is Muhammadu Buhari. He has done more for their cause than any Nigerian living or dead. 
He has served their purpose very well because he has not only totally divided Nigeria and destroyed our country’s sense of national cohesion and unity but he has also butchered her, hacked her into pieces and buried her in many different locations! 


A precious egg called Nigeria was placed into his hands in 2015 but he has crushed its shell, broken its spirit and destroyed its soul. 
Today you see and hear hundreds of thousands of sons and daughters of the South West, led by men and women like George Akinola and Shola Salako, proudly marching and demonstrating in the streets of the capitals of many of the western powers demanding for the right of self-determination and the establishment of the sovereign and independent state of Oduduwa. 


Today you see and hear millions of Igbo youths all over the world, led by titanic warriors and formidable men like Nnamdi Kanu, Tony Nnandi and Ralph Uwazuruikwe., defying the odds, risking their lives and liberty and demanding for a referendum in the South East and the establishment of the Republic of Biafra. 


Today you see and hear hundreds of thousands of wild-eyed, fearless, fired-up and angry young men and women all over the South South and in the creeks of the Niger Delta, led by men and women like Asari Dokubo and Anniko Briggs, who are more than ready to take their destiny into their own hands, break free from bondage and march out of Nigeria with all their oil.


Today you see and hear hundreds of thousands of determined, emboldened, fiery and courageous young men and women in the Middle Belt like Obadiah Mailafia, Jonathan Asake and Ibrahim Bunu, fearlessly speaking up for the millions of people in their zone who have been subjected to the indifference, callousness, wickedness, tyranny and subjugation of the Buhari regime. 


Today you see and hear millions of the bold and fearless youths of the core north itself, led by a new generation of brave, determined, proud, strong and extremely tough young men like Nastura Asheer Sherrif and Shettima Yerima, speaking out in anger and screaming “enough of this barbaric carnage” that they are witnessing on a daily basis and that has plagued their farms, towns and streets. 


If this collective anger is not well managed, if these concerns, challenges and agitations are not handled with sensitivity, understanding, restraint, wisdom and care and if the Buhari administration continues to display its characteristic contempt, impunity and disdain for the concerns, fears and will of the people, we may be pushed over the brink and our country may well be plunged into a long, terrible and catastrophic conflict in which millions will die and no-one will or can win. 
Sadly today in Nigeria we are no longer our brothers keeper and the noble concepts and exemplary virtues of love, kindness, charity, mutual respect, peaceful co-existence and treating our neighbours as we would ourselves have become  scarce commodities. 


Sadly we have become a failed state of shattered dreams and angry people, sitting on a keg of gunpowder and on the brink of yet another civil war. 
For this, coupled with his other numerous atrocities and failures, history will judge President Muhammadu Buhari harshly and posterity will not be kind to him.

Among His Peers, Oba Orin Saheed Osupa Stands Out : The Fuji Star’s Storytelling Legacy

By Alhaji Arems

 

In the vibrant world of Fuji music, where the artistry of storytelling and cultural commentary thrive, Saheed Osupa has carved out a unique role as both an artist and an influencer of thought. Recently, his name has been lighting up social media discussions and generating significant buzz—not just because of his music but because of the depth of his words. Osupa’s trending status is rooted in his ability to subtly address pressing issues, particularly those surrounding the ongoing tension between fellow Fuji musicians Taye Currency and Pasuma Wonder.

 

 

Osupa’s recent contributions to this situation have not been straightforward; rather, he has adopted an artistic approach, using parables and proverbs—sometimes through complex storytelling—to impart wisdom. These nuanced messages, often hidden within his lyrics, resonate with fans who appreciate the clever way he brings age-old Yoruba wisdom into contemporary issues. One notable example involves a story about an animal (traditionally symbolizing patience and resilience) that many believe reflects Osupa’s thoughts on rivalry and pride. Through this parable, he seems to suggest the importance of self-reflection and restraint, especially in the heat of conflict.

By Alhaji Arems

In a genre that values not only musicality but also the power of words, Osupa has long been seen as a master of *itan*, or storytelling. His recent songs echo the traditional Yoruba way of imparting wisdom through tales that serve as lessons. This is a skill that few artists have mastered, making his approach particularly impactful in today’s fast-paced digital world, where nuanced messages can often be overlooked.

Beyond the Taye Currency-Pasuma Wonder issue, Osupa’s trending status is also due to his reputation as a voice of reason and maturity in Fuji music. As a genre that is often vibrant and full of competitive spirit, Fuji has its share of rivalries. Yet, Osupa has often stood out by promoting unity and peaceful dialogue among Fuji artists. By sharing these reflective stories in his music, he adds layers of meaning that fans continue to unpack and discuss, drawing new audiences who appreciate both the artistry and wisdom behind his words.

The charm of Saheed Osupa lies in his timeless approach. In a world where trends are fleeting, he reminds fans of the importance of timeless values, urging reflection, humility, and understanding. As fans interpret and share his latest stories, Osupa’s message continues to resonate widely—proof that, in Fuji, the power of words can be as influential as the beat of the drum.

Coalition Congratulates Oluyede on Appointment as Acting COAS

 

The Coalition of Civil Society Groups against Terrorism in Nigeria has congratulated Major-General Olufemi Oluyede on his appointment as the acting Chief of Army Staff, (Ag COAS, Nigerian Army).

Coalition Congratulates Oluyede on Appointment as Acting COAS

The Convener of the Coalition, Comrade Oladimeji Odeyemi, in a statement, said General Oluyede has the responsibility to consolidate the success achieved by the Nigerian Army under General Taoreed Lagbaja.

President Bola Tinubu had on Wednesday, October 30, appointed Oluyede as acting COAS pending the return of the indisposed substantive Chief of Army Staff, General Taoreed Lagbaja.

The Coalition said his appointment is a welcome development. It said: “Major-General Olufemi Oluyede is well qualified for the position. He was a member of the 39th regular course and commissioned as an officer in 1987. Aged 56, he was promoted to the rank of Major-General in September 2020. A professional and top-notch security expert, he brings a lot of hope and inspiration to younger officers as acting chief of Army Staff.

“His appointment is the way to go. As the acting Chief of Army Staff, Oluyede has the responsibility to lead an army that will administratively manage the institution, consolidate on the success achieved by General Lagbaja and his team to mop up remnants of insurgents, bandits and the ragtag criminal elements in the North, and dismantle the ethnic militias in the Southeast to bring peace in the country.

“The 56-year-old Oluyede shares a long history with General Lagbaja, with a track record and excellent service to the nation. Both are members of the 39th Regular Course and were commissioned as officers in 1987.

“Oluyede’s meritorious career began as a Platoon commander and adjutant at 65 Battalion, advancing to Company commander at 177 Guards Battalion and later Staff Officer at the Guards Brigade and commandant of Amphibious Training School.

“Oluyede has been part of many notable operations, including the ECOMOG Mission in Liberia, Operation HARMONY IV in Bakassi, and Operation HADIN KAI in the Northeast, where he commanded the 27 Task Force Brigade.

“He has received honours, including the Corps Medal of Honour, and Grand Service Star, all recognition for passing the Staff Course and membership in the National Institute, and his dedication and achievements in service.”
