The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, has stated that people like President Muhammadu Buhari are no longer needed to lead Nigeria. They spoke through its President, Shettima Yerima in an interview with the Sun, adding that the currently administration has exhausted its ideas and has nothing more to offer. Yerima said come 2019 general elections, youths will no longer waste their time on old politicians like Buhari. He told Sun, “The position is that we really do not need people like Buhari in 2019. “It is now clear that the youth would no longer be allowed to be used by any politician any more. Anybody above 60 should go and rest peacefully or go back to the farm or do something differently for himself. That is my position on the issue. “Of course, it is obvious that this government cannot do anything from now till the next one year. Already two years down the line, we have not seen anything. “I do not see the government doing any magic or performing any miracle in the...

Seventy-three Nigerians were buried in Benue on the 11th of January 2018 – a day some in the state will regard forever in infamy. It was a mass burial of persons killed in the most brutal ways, but there was the dignity of proper coffins and the accompaniment of sincerely grieving bereaved relatives. These were Nigerians killed under the watch of a Federal Government that had to know such a carnage was in the making. In their death, as in life, there was the clear aversion by the authorities to be identified with them. Amidst the many teary eyes, none was of any person from the Buhari government as an official representative. Nobody came from Aso Rock to commiserate directly with these people whose hope in government has been crushed to the size of fine sands. Instead, Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s president, was, at the time when the funeral was ongoing, sending congratulations to the winner of his 2017 Season’s Greeting Card design competition. Empathy should have required a F...

southern leaders have called on President Muhammadu Buhari to restructure the country now, if he still desires Nigeria to be one. The leaders, who made this demand at the Handshake Across the Niger Summit organised by Nzuko Umunna, at Base Event Centre, Enugu State, cut across the South West, South East, South South and the Middle Belt. The leaders, in unison, bemoaned how the demand for restructuring has been rejected by the Buhari administration while Fulani herdsmen have continued to unleash mayhem and terror on southern Nigeria. The leaders agreed that Yoruba and Igbo should bury all acrimonies and come together, again, to fight their relegation as ‘second class’ citizens in the country. President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief John Nnia Nwodo, who led Ndigbo to the summit said: “The Igbo/Yoruba alliance, which has catalysed the Southern Leadership Forum and the Middle Belt Union, is a bold statement that unity is possible in Nigeria.” Nwodo disclosed that their irrevocab...

Founder and General Overseer of the Zion Heritage and Miracle Ministries, Bishop Okwudili Eze, has revealed what God told him about 2018. Bishop Eze’s revelation carries what God told him concerning the Super Eagles of Nigeria, and the 2018 World Cup in Russia; the Nigerian currency, the Naira; Nigeria’s leading political party, the All Progressives Compress, APC; the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP; and the much talked about Igbo presidency. The cleric also made predictions concerning mysterious assassinations of political heavyweights in the country. He talked about a clash between the Governor of Kaduna State and a former Governor of Lagos State and national leader of the APC, Bolaji Ahmed Tinubu. He also warned that the Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, may lose his mantle as the governor of the state to the APC. Read full prophecy: “There shall be some signs of economic recovery in Nigeria not because of the government policies but because of the mercies of God tha...

Angry reactions have trailed the statement by the presidency comparing the number of people killed by Fulani Herdsmen under the Goodluck Jonathan administration with those already killed under the present administration. The longstanding face off between farmers and Fulani herdsmen in Benue state assumed a new dimension in early January with cases of successive killings by Fulani militia in the past few days. The killings having heightened with a death toll of 80 persons, fuelled series of speculations on alleged unresponsiveness on the part of the Federal Government to take adequate steps. Some Nigerians have insinuated that the slow action of the federal government is caused by an affinity of the President to the Fulani stock of Nigeria. The Presidential spokesperson, Mr. Femi Adesina, while debunking such claims said it was very unkind of Nigerians to link the killings to the president owing to his background as a Fulani. He, however, drew the ire of Nigerians when he made re...

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Wednesday accused the British Broadcasting Corporation, Cable Network News, Al Jazeera and other foreign media of conspiracy of silence in the reportage of killings by herdsmen in most Nigerian communities. The group also blamed the President Muhammadu Buhari led administration for taking the continuous killings of the Fulani herdsmen as normal. IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, in a statement said the media houses’ under reportage of the killings was part of the international conspiracy to subdue non-Muslims. IPOB, however, condemned the recent killings in Rivers and Benue states, adding that the group wondered why the Federal Government was reluctant to deploy soldiers in Benue, Taraba and Kaduna states where herdsmen had killed scores of people. It said, “The killing of the innocent has become the norm under this present All Progressives Congress government led by Major General Muhammadu Buhari. “More shocking i...
