WHAT THEY WILL NOT TELL YOU by Femi Fani-Kayode

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make of the following what you will and work out the implications.

 

 

 

 

 

Of the 13 leaders that have led our country since 1960 seven were working for the British MI6 and/or the American CIA.

 

 

 

WHAT THEY WILL NOT TELL YOU by Femi Fani-Kayode

 

 

 

 

Only the remaining six were working solely for Nigeria.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The other seven were firmly within the power, control and grip of the British and the Americans.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In short, they were nothing but spies and informants that were carefully and craftily planted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Again of the five Nigerian leaders that died whilst on the throne, every single one of them was murdered in cold blood by local agents of the CIA with the tacit and implicit support of M16 and Langley.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Again no military coup has ever been successful in Nigeria without the tacit backing and support of M16 and/or the CIA.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Every nation has its secrets but most of them are classified and are known only to the more experienced, circumspect and cerebal members of the intelligence community. Nigeria is no different but hers are legion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are more secrets hidden in the belly of our nations womb and history than most.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are sad and bitter truths that many cannot possibly handle and that most would rather not hear.

They include the truth about the deaths of Shehu Musa Yar’adua, MKO Abiola, Sani Abacha, Dele Giwa, Sulia Adedeji, Alfred Rewane, Bola Ige, Funso Williams, Ibrahim Abacha, Tunde Idiagbon, Abubakar Audu, Abba Kyari, Brigadier Bako, Major General Shuwa, Bagudu Kaltho, Air Marshall Alex Badeh, the C130 plane crash, the Bellview plane crash, the Chibok girls abduction and so much more.

They also include the identity of the foreign entities and local collaborators that are behind the terrorist activities and insurgency of Boko Haram, ISWAP and the murderous herdsmen in the north east and north west respectively and the violent secessionist agitation and brutal killings by so-called unknown gunmen in the South East.

There is much more we can go into at a later date but this is a season for politics and electioneering and not one for revealing secrets.

The bottom line is that the Nigerian people, blissful in their naivity and innocence, still believe that they control their own future and destiny yet nothing could be further from the truth. Poor them.

They have no idea about what went on in the past and what is going on today and neither do they care. They are far too busy simply trying to survive and make ends meet.

They are also unaware that our country has become something of a football that is being kicked around and silently carved up by the Americans, the British, the French and increasingly the Chinese.

Sadly we are not the beautiful bride but rather the buxom little slave girl that is being fought over and sold into bondage and servitude and that is being teleguided, brutalised, carved up, ravaged, raped and sodomised by a bunch of gluttonous, thieving, lustful, desperate, hungry and sociopathic carpet-baggers and slave masters who are hell bent on ripping our guts out, tearing our country apart, turning us against one another, pillaging our resources and sharing our entrails as their spoils.

Permit me to resist the temptation of going any further and saying too much for now and let me end with the following.

All those that ruled us in the past that gallantly attempted to stand up against western domination and neo-colonialism and that had a patriotic, zealous and enviable pan-African disposition were taken out by a coup d’etat or by being murdered.

You want their names? I will not mention them here. Kindly do the research yourselves and work out who they are. I will say though that each of them at least gave us something to be proud of.

Yet the tales of woe and sordid state secrets continue. Did you know that approximately 800,000 Nigerian civilians, including women and children, were killed by Biafran forces during the three year Nigerian civil war.

We often talk about and rightly condemn the mass murder and slaughtered of 3 million Biafran civilians (including 1 million children) during that horrendous and inexplicable intergrum of fratricidal butchery but rarely do we spare a thought for or even mention the 800,000 Nigerian civilians that also perished.

Clearly the genocide, mass murder and crimes against humanity went both ways.

These are bitter and uncomfortable truths that many hate to hear and that others will find hard to believe.

Yet they must and will be told.

The dark history of Nigeria is not known by 95% of Nigerians. So sad!

There is so much that they wil not tell you. More to come later.

Know the truth and let it set you free!

“Sentenced to Death for Stealing a Fowl: The Shocking Case of Segun Olowookere Sparks National Outrage”

“Sentenced to Death for Stealing a Fowl: The Shocking Case of Segun Olowookere Sparks National Outrage”

“Sentenced to Death for Stealing a Fowl: The Shocking Case of Segun Olowookere Sparks National Outrage”

 

The Nigerian social media space was thrown into an uproar on Tuesday as news spread about Segun Olowookere, an only child, who was sentenced to death by hanging for stealing a fowl in Osun State. The case, which dates back to 2010, has raised serious questions about justice, fairness, and the Nigerian judicial system.

Olowookere, now 31, was arrested alongside Sunday Morakinyo in Oyan, Odo-Otin Local Government Area, when he was just 17 years old. Accused of robbing a police officer of two fowls and eggs worth ₦20,000, the duo was convicted in 2014 by Justice Jide Falola of the Osun State High Court.

The Arrest and Trial

According to Olowookere, his ordeal began when a group of minors, allegedly involved in theft, named him as their gang leader. Despite his denial, he was subjected to severe torture by police officers and detained without immediate legal recourse.

“The police demanded ₦30,000 for my bail, but my father could only raise ₦20,000. Before he could return with the full amount, I was transferred to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad in Osogbo,” Olowookere recounted.

At trial, six witnesses testified against him. Although he pleaded not guilty and claimed innocence, the court relied heavily on a controversial confession reportedly obtained under duress. Justice Falola sentenced both Olowookere and Morakinyo to death for armed robbery, life imprisonment for robbery, and three years for theft.

Public Outcry and Calls for Justice

The harsh sentence, perceived as disproportionate to the crime, has ignited widespread criticism. Human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) condemned the ruling, arguing that the trial was unlawful since Olowookere was a minor at the time of the offence.

Falana stated, “The Osun State High Court lacked jurisdiction over the case. The matter should have been handled by the Family Court, which would not impose the death penalty on a child.”

Governor Adeleke’s Intervention

“Sentenced to Death for Stealing a Fowl: The Shocking Case of Segun Olowookere Sparks National Outrage”

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has ordered an investigation and initiated steps for a pardon. “I assure the public that this case is receiving urgent attention. Justice and fairness must prevail,” the governor announced on X.

Lingering Appeal and a Tarnished Legacy

The case is still pending appeal at the Court of Appeal, Akure, 13 years after it began. Meanwhile, Justice Falola, who presided over the trial, was recently retired by the National Judicial Council following a separate scandal involving professional misconduct.

The Human Toll

Olowookere, who has spent over a decade on death row, dreams of becoming a doctor. He has trained under medical practitioners at his custodial center and hopes to prove his innocence and contribute to society.

“I pray to God to set me free. I am not a criminal. I’ve never stolen anything in my life,” he said.

Morakinyo, his co-convict, was not as fortunate. Following years of torture, he has developed severe mental health issues and is now unrecognizable, according to Olowookere.

What’s Next?

As the public awaits the conclusion of the appeal process, Olowookere’s story has become a rallying point for advocacy against systemic injustice. Many Nigerians are calling for comprehensive judicial reforms to prevent such cases in the future.

The tragedy of Segun Olowookere is a grim reminder of the cracks in Nigeria’s justice system—cracks that have left a young man’s life hanging in the balance for over a decade.

“Let it be on record that I’ve returned the sum of ₦5Million mistakenly sent to me by one Sliding Towers Global Limited. I’ve also made an entry at the Ogui Police Station, Enugu, to this effect,” Nwashara stated.
