MY PROBLEM ......

.... was not that some people placed their money in the MMM scheme. I reallvy cannot blame any Nigerian that did that. The banking system failed on all levels. The government failed. The people were frustrated as they lived in a country characterized by massive failures. MMM or anything whatsoever that promises an alternative is worth considering.

So, it is really not the fault of the people that they went into MMM. Nobody should blame them that much and I am sure that has not been my purpose. My problem is not that they put their money there.

My problem is that when we decided to discuss the matter in this platform, which we created for such public debate; when we decided to discuss it, many of the people in MMM attacked me. They got rude and attacked me and everybody else in the most vicious way possible. That is our problem.

For behaving that way, we saw for the first time, the beasts in some of those involved. We condemn them not because they put their money there, but because they were so horrible and so rude as to try to deny us the right to air our views and opinions.

Indeed, those people, not those who put their money in MMM, but those who attacked others for expressing themselves do not need to belong to any civilized discussion group. So, I encourage the DPA Admins and Moderators to go back and review all past posts on MMM. Identify those who attacked others for expressing themselves, and remove them from our discussion group. They don't belong here. They don't belong anywhere. Even the MMM should not have accepted their money.

I usually do not write,talk or contribute to whatever it is that has to do with prisoners generally. Why because,even though I am not perfect,I do not have a criminal record and I know how very careful I mind myself,the law and people in general to avoid even been invited as witness in any case,talk more of been a plaintiff or accused. But the post below has touched and drawn my attention to the suffering of the people involved even though I do not know them and in as much as I can not authenticate the post or source,I know and believe there are lots of Nigerians and other nationals in this very situation around Africa and the world. My concentration here is on Nigerians,in as much as I hardly feel for criminals (not saying all prisoners are guilty),we have a country very terrible,from our heartless shadow boxing pretender of a president Buhari to almost all of our senators and representatives nation wide,who abandon and ignore their very duties to serve Nigerians and instead concentra...

LYING LIE MOHAMMED BY FEMI FANI-KAYODE

LYING LIE MOHAMMED BY FEMI FANI-KAYODE This is not the time for preaching peace when the enemy is ready to destroy the world.To forgive Islamic terrorists is up to God but to send them to see God is my duty” – President Vladimir Putin. Is there any sane person that disagrees with Putin ? Evidently there are a few people in high places in Nigeria that do. The greatest evil that plagues our land today are not Boko Haram or the Fulani miliitias. The greatest evil are those so-called moderate Muslims and practising Christians who pretend that the terrorists don’t exist, who turn a blind eye to their evil and who sit back silently and watch them. Consider the foul-breathed, pamper-wearing lying Lai Mohammed, Buhari’s Minister of Information. He falls squarly into that category. The other day he claimed that the assertion that Muslims kill Christians in Nigeria “is a fallacy”. This man is nothing but scum. He is filth. He is sick. He is an unrepentant and pernicious liar. He is the low...
