Jimmy Abia Respond to Apostle Sulieman with Undeniable Facts

Published

on

I feel obligated to address Pastor Suleimans unfortunate diatribe if only for posterity sake.

I wouldn’t have felt much need to debunk these lies had they not also been spread from the most unlikely quarters – the educated, and even by mainstream media.

A very dangerous new trend is that it is now also being spread in pulpits and Oba’s palaces, thereby drawing religious and ethnic hate and bigotry further into it. It is now a common trend for anyone who wakes up on the wrong side of his bed to pick on Igbos. All decency and caution have been thrown to the winds. Similar to xenophobia, this is becoming an alarming trend.

If it was just being propagated by illiterates and certified idiots as usual, I wouldn’t care much. But, alas it has gained some prominency among those we would otherwise have considered enlightened.

I mean, how do you blame a zone with 15 out of 109 Senators for the high turnover of Senate Presidents during the Obasanjo era. Does that even make sense to you? Indeed, out of the 15 only 14 were regular voting senators because 1 was the Senate President. The people who spread these pedestrian tales by moonlight cannot tell you any important role that South East people played in these persons removal. Yet, they keep peddling the falsehood.

How would you allege that it was the disunity of South East that got the 5 Senate Presidents out, except you are determined to do violence to facts and rape common sense?

First, the zone has the least number of senators in Nigeria and so can hardly ever influence the selection or, removal of anyone, or indeed decide any direction for the House.

Secondly, out of the 5 Senate Presidents of that era, only 2 were impeached. Anyim and Nnamani served out their terms. Wabara resigned after the early morning broadcast by Obasanjo in which he alleged Wabara’s involvement in “cash for budget”. So the only 2 impeached were Okadigbo and Enwerem.

If you ever bothered to read Obasanjos book MY WATCH you will know that the removal of those Senate Presidents was a product of the war between Atiku and Obasanjo. Obasanjo wrote it in no uncertain terms that his battle for political space led to the manipulations, scheming, and shenanigans that consumed the political fortunes of those men. Money was regularly shared and the 109 house did their bit, upon the helplessness of the south east.

What those who spread these tales are doing is similar to where an adult farts and turns around to blame an innocent child seated nearby. So, even where the south east hasn’t been disunited, some people still find a way of smuggling in the word “disunity” just because they must give a dog a bad name in order to seem justified in hanging it.

You would note of course that in the same era the position of PDP Chairmanship also witnessed a similar high turnover of occupants of that office – 6 Chairmen in 8 years !!! The Speakership of the House of Representatives zoned to North West also witnessed a similar turnover – 3 Speakers in those years. From Salisu Buhari (who was exposed by his own step mother and forced to resign by the northern majority in the House of Representatives) to Ghali Umar Naaba (who wasn’t allowed to return to the House) to Aminu Bello Masari

It was all due to the fight between two gladiators, obasanjo and Atiku. That position wasn’t being occupied by the south east. Yet, no one talks about this as disunity of the people that occupied it.

If you look back at our recent political history you will see where members of other zones fought each other to a standstill whether politically or otherwise. Yet no one makes a topic of them vs them, because its just seen as politics. I can cite several examples but I’ll hold my brakes for now.

I am therefore at a loss why some people keep peddling these lies and why they are still believed by some persons.

How can we build a nation when lies gain more prominency than truths? How can we build a nation when you must find a reason to blame and castigate a part for what is not any of their fault? Why are some people bent on pushing this false stereotype of disunity, if not that they stand to gain from such disunity?

You say Igbo are not united because some apprentices steal from their oga, yet You forgot that the Igbo apprenticeship system has been the most successful job creation and entrepreneurship building platform. Would it have been that successful if what you mentioned was so rampant?

How do you accuse the same people that have helped one another grow from the ashes of the war to a vastly successful people of disunity ?

Why this constant attempt to gaslight and demonise a section of this country?

This is the time for all and especially prominent Nigerians involved in this to apply caution.

Nigerian Doctor Planning To Relocate To The UK Slvmps And Ð!es After Being On Duty For 72-hours

Published

on

The Nigerian medical community is reeling from the devastating loss of Dr. Oluwafemi “Femi” Rotifa, a young doctor at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH) whose life ended just as a new chapter was about to begin.

Dr. Femi had already completed his registration with the UK’s General Medical Council and concluded all plans to relocate for better opportunities abroad. He was days away from starting a fresh life when tragedy struck.

After working a grveling 72-hour call shift at RSUTH’s Emergency Room, he reportedly went to the call room to rest but slumped and never woke up. Despite resuscitation efforts at the ICU, he was pronounced gone—leaving behind family, friends, and colleagues in deep shock.

His passing has been described by the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) and the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) as a preventable death, one that reflects the harsh reality of overworked and under-supported doctors in Nigeria.

Dr. Femi’s story is both heartbreaking and eye-opening: a young man full of promise, already on the path to building a brighter future abroad, cut down by the very system he gave his all to serve.

Mohbad: I Have Always Been Ready For The DNA Test – Wunmi

Published

on

Mohbad’s wife, Omowunmi “Wunmi” Aloba, has finally reacted after the Ikorodu Magistrate Court ordered that a DNA test be conducted on her son, Liam. The court directed that two separate tests be carried out—one in Nigeria and another abroad—with samples to be collected from Mohbad’s remains at the Military Hospital in Yaba in the presence of representatives from both families. The matter has been adjourned till November 11, 2025, for further hearing. In her reaction, Wunmi maintained that she has never been against the DNA process but insisted that it must be done through proper legal channels and not as a result of social media pressure. She explained that she is willing to cooperate once her father-in-law initiates it formally through the court, stressing that no outsider has the right to dictate how it should be done. Her lawyers also pushed back against claims that she was being uncooperative, describing such statements as defamatory and demanding a public apology from those spreading them. Wunmi also clapped back at online commentators who kept dragging her into controversies, making it clear that her priority remains protecting her son and honoring her late husband. While the court’s decision may finally settle questions surrounding Liam’s paternity, many Nigerians have expressed concern that the DNA debate has overshadowed the more pressing issue of justice for Mohbad’s mysterious death. For now, all eyes are on November when the case will resume, with hopes that the truth will bring closure not just to the family, but to fans who continue to demand answers.

Burkina Faso Shuts Down Bill Gates–Backed Mosquito Project 🚫🦟

Published

on

The military government in Burkina Faso has suspended Target Malaria, a project backed by Bill Gates’ foundation that releases genetically modified mosquitoes to fight malaria.

Authorities ordered the NGO to immediately stop all operations, saying foreign projects must align with national priorities. Civil society groups had also raised concerns, urging safer alternatives instead of controversial technology.

Target Malaria, active in Burkina Faso since 2012, said it has complied with all laws and remains open to dialogue. The first GM mosquito release happened back in 2019.

Burkina Faso is one of the world’s malaria hotspots, recording over 8 million cases last year.

This decision follows a wider crackdown: in recent months, the Traoré-led government revoked licenses of 21 foreign NGOs.
