Afenifere has no kind words for Osinbajo

Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, says from the look of things, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo’s office has been rendered useless, impotent and irrelevant.

It, however, said it would be too early to speculate if Osinbajo’s “ordeal” was caused by any misdemeanor on his part or if it was based on permutations ahead of the 2023 general elections.

The spokesman for Afenifere, Mr Yinka Odumakin, said this during an interview  on Wednesday. “We will wait to have all the facts because we don’t want to say a Yoruba man is being attacked,” he said. “But clearly, what has happened is that the VP’s office has been rendered impotent, useless and irrelevant.”

Chai. See the kind words dem dey use qualify our able VP. If na me be Uncle Yemi ehn, I go just arrest, ‘Soworise’ and prosecute those Afenifere people. But Uncle Yemi won’t do such. Him no be former military officer.

 

The fruit of evacuation

The Air Peace boss, Mr Allen Onyema, has told the House of Representatives that the evacuation of Nigerians from South Africa has brought respect to Nigeria across the world.

Onyema also stated that South Africa is also suffering dearly for the attacks by its citizens on non-citizens.

He said flights were now going to South Africa empty and while stocks in the country were falling. “That singular act has brought so much respect for Nigeria worldwide,” he said. According to him, xenophobia will die a natural death soon in South Africa.

Hmmm. You did well Mr Onyema but I’m not sure about that respect part o. Heck, our politicians don’t respect us and we, too, no come respect ourselves. Respect is an alien word to Nigerians.

 

‘I know IPOB and IPOB knows me’

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, has said members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) cannot attack him outside Nigeria.

He stated this in Obosi, Anambra State against the background of reports that IPOB members had threatened to attack politicians of the South-East geopolitical zone if they were sighted anywhere outside the country.

He said the secessionists would have a moral burden to attack him because he protected them and their interests when he was the governor of Anambra State. He added that IPOB was not set up to be a violent group.

LOL. Oga Ngige, no try those guys o. They are ready to employ violent means to put your face through hard labour. I’ve said my own o.

 

Gbenu e soun – BMO to PDP

The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has cautioned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against raising false alarm, especially over matters that it does not have full understanding of.

The group gave the advice while reacting to the PDP’s rejection of the federal government’s plan to increase the Value Added Tax from five per cent to 7.5 per cent.

It urged the PDP not to undermine a patriotic and genuine effort of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to raise the needed resources to address some of the major infrastructural needs of Nigerians.

These BMO people don resurface again. E be like say alert don enter.

 

A comment from the other side

Sara Welch, a US journalist, has gone viral for telling viewers that she had tried to contact a man for a comment on his own death.

She was reporting live for Los Angeles news channel KLTA on a fatal pursuit in South California when she had an unfortunate slip of the tongue. Reporting from Anaheim police station, she said: “We tried to reach out to the man who died in this pursuit, they were unavailable for comment.”

It is not known when the footage originally aired, but when the clip was shared online by journalist Yasher Ali, it received more than 90,000 likes and almost 23,000 retweets.
