  • Do you expect him to appoint someone that he doesn’t trust, to head his security team? Even for his own safety, what he did was right. The wailing of the wailing wailers can not resist him from doing what he likes to do!

  • As they campaign vigorously for elections, you would think, they are coming to grow the economy, enthrone justice, breed unity and tolerance, love for one another. No, they are coming to enthrone Hausa Fulani supremacy, to reposition the security agencies by sacking all competent hands and replace them with their kinsmen in order to drive their ethnic domination of the south, the Fulani herdsmen will be armed and encouraged to slaughter us with impurity and their masters will protect them. They are coming to ensure that my people are enslaved forever. Those who do not believe me will soon see it happen before their eyes ”

  • It is with heavy heart and with a deep sense of disappointment to read the appointment of one Magaji Bichi as the new Director- General of DSS. This is a slap on the face of well-meaning Nigerians who believe in Federal Character and the unity of the country. This action is the last straw that is capable of breaking the fabric which holds the country together. It is now clear that Southerners are on their own. My candid suggestion is this; Extreme situations requires extreme measures and response!
