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...

BUHARI YOU LACK VISION,LONDON FINANCIAL TIMES

Financial Times of London finishes off President Buhari 10/02/2017 •President Buhari. The  Financial Times  of London has delivered an unflattering verdict on President Muhammadu Buhari, saying that he lacks vision and that Nigeria has fared far worse under his leadership. Below is the text of the article by David Pilling entitled “Nigeria’s president is missing in action”: “For two weeks, Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s septuagenarian president, has been out of action, receiving medical treatment in London for an undisclosed illness. His absence has sent the rumour mill of Africa’s most populous nation spinning, with frequent erroneous reports that the president is dead. The tragedy for Nigeria is that policymaking has been so ponderous during the 20 months since Mr Buhari took office that, dead or alive, it is not always easy to tell the difference. “Under Mr Buhari’s slow-blinking leadership, Africa’s largest economy has drifted into crisis. Brought low by the weak ...
