PRESS STATEMENT ON THE RAIDING OF THE HOME OF DEPUTY SENATE PRESIDENT EKWEREMADUFemi Fani-kayode wrote

I just finished speaking to the Deputy Senate President and he confirmed to me that his home was raided by security forces today.

This is shameful and shocking. Raiding the homes of our friends and leaders like Ekweremadu and harrasing their children will not deter, stop or silence those of us that are in the opposition. It will only harden our hearts and strengthen our resolve.

As each day goes by more and more people have come to accept the fact that the Buhari administration is a government of FASCISTS and BEASTS. 

They are led and guided by dark and sinister forces whose sole agenda is to divide our people and destroy our country.

It is about time that  Nigerians woke up and stood up to their madness and tyranny.

We must employ all lawful means to resist them and expose them for what they are. Not only

THE SONS OF PERDITION AND THE LAMENTATIONS OF THE BLINDBy Femi Fani-Kayode

Instead of responding to the words of Eric Joyce, the former British MP who told the world via his twitter handle on 19th May that President Muhammadu Buhari had died in a London hospital, Deacon Femi Adesina, the Special Advisor to the President on Media, in an essay titled "They Learnt Nothing and They Forgot Nothing", wrote like a true corpsocrat, refused to clarify the matter and instead said that he was ready to follow Buhari "into battle blindfolded".

Clearly my good friend Adesina has much to learn from an essay that yours truly wrote last week titled "The Language of Slaves". I urge him to read it.

He also has a lot to learn from President J. Trump's words when he said,

"In America we worship God and not Government. We are a nation of true believers".

My advice to Adesina (and it is from the heart because he knows that I really do like him) is to

On the 82 Chibok girls Recently Released By Reno Omokri

Anybody that is not happy that 82 Chibok girls were released must be a monster whose humanity should be called into question. I thank God that these girls have been released and I commend the Federal Government for the feat of ensuring that these girls are reunited with their families. May God bless President Muhammadu Buhari for providing the leadership that enabled this to happen.

Having said that, there are some factual observations I want to raise. What you are about to read is completely devoid of any opinion. I am just stating facts. You may not like the facts. You may not even like me. But one thing you cannot do is ignore the fact.

THE RESURRECTION OF CORPSOCRACY By Femi Fani-Kayode

The day before yesterday we were told by the First Lady, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, that her husband was not as ill as most of us believed and that despite his obvious challenges he has continued to "carry out his responsibilities".

On the same day the media went to great lengths to convince us, without providing any pictures, that the President had resumed work and that he had had a series of fruitful and productive meetings with his Minister of Justice and the Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) respectively.

They assured us that he would definately preside over the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting which was scheduled to hold the following day.

All of these assertions proved to be false. Buhari has now missed his FOURTH Federal Ececutive Council meeting in a row due to his chronic and debilitating ill health.

Whoever is holding this poor, frail, sick and elderly man to ransom and keeping him in the
