Colonel Hameed Ali and the Nigerian Senate by Femi Fani-Kayode

Retired Colonel Hameed Ali, the Comptroller General of the Nigerian Customs Service, is a proud and stubborn man. His disdain for others and insufferable arrogance is not only vexatious to the spirit but also downright nauseating.

Someone should remind him that the Holy Bible says "the Lord resists the proud and exalts the humble".

Another should tell him that, according to Greek mythology, nemesis always follows hubris. If he doubts that he should find out what happened to a character called Icarus.

Clearly this obnoxious and cantankerous little man needs to be brought down a peg or two

Chibok: Jonathan’s ex-aide Reno replies The Guardian of U.K., Lai Mohammed

Former aide to Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Electronic media, Pastor Reno Omokri has replied  The Guardian of U.K. and the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, saying their claims that the former President rejected help from Britain in the rescue of the abducted Chibok school girls are false. Reno, in a reply article titled, “Response to The Guardian of U.K. and Nigeria’s Minister of Information,” said, contrary to the claims, Ex-President Jonathan did sought after the assistance of the British Government and the international community in general in tackling the Boko Haram insurgents and securing the release of the girls especially in the area of arms. “My attention has been drawn to a report in the Guardian of the U.K. alleging that the former Nigerian President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan rebuffed efforts by the British military to rescue the kidnapped Chibok Girls sometime in 2014.” Omokri Nothing could be further from the truth and to prove that this story from the Guardian is untrue, the international community will recall that when a Boko Haram affiliate kidnapped a Briton and an Italian, Chris McManus and Franco Lamolinara, from Birnin Kebbi in Kebbi state of Nigeria, then President Jonathan personally authorized British Special

PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI: BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH (PART 2)By Femi Fani-Kayode

Permit me to begin the second part of this essay with a word from Dr. Shuaib Musa Zaria, who is a leading member of the Shiite Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) and who is a close confidante and associate of Sheik El Zak Zaky, the wounded and detained  leader of the Shiite Muslim community in Nigeria.

I have his permission to share his thoughts and words. On 4th March 2017 he wrote,

"Since the brutal clampdown on innocent people of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria in December 2015, things went out of Buhari's hands. The economy went haywire and everything deteriorated. In December 2016 the court declared that Sheikh Zak Zaky's detention was unconstitutional and he must be set free. Rather than order for his immediate release, the court gave 45 days within which he must be released. At the time many of us felt it was an unnecessary delay. The grace period nevertheless slowly passed and elapsed on the 16th of January 2017. Now Buhari didn't comply with the court order. We reached out through well-meaning people but the tyrant would not concede. He was quoted as saying "either him or me", reference to the fact that it would be only over his dead body that Sheikh Zakzaky

How Amaechi and Buhari Induced Nigeria's RecessionBy Reno Omokri

This has been a most interesting week for me. As many of my readers may have become aware, the minister of transport, Rotimi Amaechi, gave an interview to some select papers (ThisDay thankfully not included) and repeated the lie that former President Jonathan pilfered $49.8 billion from the national treasury and that is the reason why Nigeria has a recession.

Well I responded to his untruths with facts, figures and dates, but rather than take me up on the issues, Mr. Amaechi took me to the cleaners in an ad hominem attack that did not address the facts in issue. Well, writing is my strength and Rotimi Amaechi with all his bluster is not very strong in this area and my responses to him obviously taught him a thing or two as he has not yet recovered enough to launch another salvo at me.

Those who read the Financial Times of London would have read their latest story on Nigeria which appeared on the front page story in their global print edition on Wednesday the 1st of Match, 2017. That piece clearly shows that the Buhari administration is squarely to blame for Nigeria's recession.

In fact, the Financial Times was diplomatic. The Economist magazine was more blunt and

Reno to Amaechi: “You’re A Decorated Monkey Only Loyal to Your Stomach”

What seemed like a fight between the Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi and the former aide to Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on electronic media, Reno Omokri has taken a new gear into real verbal salvos with Omokri calling the minister a “decorated monkey only loyal to his stomach.”

Recall that on Monday 27th February 2017, Amaechi, through his aide, Mr. David Iyofor had replied Reno’s previous article, saying Reno is “like a mad man in the market square that points his fingers at sane people, calling them mad.,” He was replying an article by Reno titled, “Time to question the pot bellied Amaechi’s sanity – Reno.”

Mr. Iyofor had accused Reno of being the liar who is still very sad that his principal, Jonathan was defeated in the 2015 election.

However, in a response article titled, “Rotimi Amaechi: A Decorated Monkey is Still a Monkey!”,
