6 YEAR AND?
A comment on one of my posts got me thinking. The fellow said "gay rights will never find a place in Nigeria".
You see, i believe that when President Goodluck Jonathan signed the same sex Prohibition act bill into law in 2014, he gave the Nigerian citizens the authority to carry out harassment, criticizing, fighting, molesting, shooting and killing of innocent people for the sake of their sexual orientation and gender identification. it has become more obvious that the aim of this law is not to actually convict any LGBTQ Citizen but to make them scapegoats and make them live as criminals in their own country. this is because in the 6 years of this law, it is yet to convict anyone but on the contrary, hundreds of LGBTQ have been assaulted, displaced and killed, all in the name of this law. Even in their death, they do not get any fair treatment from the justice system instead, the media gather lies and further ridicule the dead.
Nigerians have isolated this law and used it as a weapon to strip people off their humanity just because of their sexual orientation and gender identification. The frequency of this occurrences and their effect has been terrible.
The Nigerian government to the best of my knowledge decided to use the media and it citizens to start a domestic terrorism on the LGBTQ Community in Nigeria.
A lot of people have been maimed and lost their lives for this reason. i was personally shot at but thank God, they missed. if you say this is what you get from being a part of or in association with the LGBTQ, what happened to the right to life? that reminds me of the late human rights activist Bamanga Rabiu popularly referred to as Rabina who was found in a shallow grave in room. it was reported that the killing was as a result of a hate crime.

wisdom is profitable
This is the story of Samuel Uchenna...Nigerian and gay.
on the 19th of May 2020 at about 5:45pm, he got a phone call from an acquintance saying that he wanted come over to his house to say hello and Samuel said it was okay. At 5:58 pm his door bell rang and a team of six police officers from SARS [the Special Anti-Robbery Squad], with the acquaintance standing in front of them, in handcuffs.
Samuel was asked if he knew their suspect and he replied yes. That was when all hell broke loose. They barged into the house and began ransacking the house and roughly searching his personal belongings without a warrant. he asked the officers their reasons for this invasion, they were busy handcuffing him while turning his bedroom upside down. Upon further inquiry about the reason for all these and the warrant for this arrest, one of the officer gave him a slap across the face.He was dragged down the stairs and taken to the police command in Delta state, a special operational squad named “Safe Delta”. He was slapped across the face severely when he continuously requested from the police men to show him their warrant.
To give a clear picture of how this squad operates; the first thing they do is to confiscate the victims mobile phone till they are done with their investigation. this is exactly what they did with Samuel.Samuel was asked if he knew their suspect and he replied yes. That was when all hell broke loose. They barged into the house and began ransacking the house and roughly searching his personal belongings without a warrant. he asked the officers their reasons for this invasion, they were busy handcuffing him while turning his bedroom upside down.

He was slapped across the face severely when he continuously requested from the police men to show him their warrant.
Samuel informed them that he is a Human Rights Defendant but this fell on deaf ears. After about 10 minutes of going through the victim's phone, he was questioned about the conversation he had with the acquaintance saying that the acquaintance confessed to being gay and he told them that Samuel was his enabler.
Samuel told the police men that he is aware of his innate attraction to the same sex but had never tried to act on it. He further added that he worked for an organization that offers health care for gays in the state. He was immediately detained without an option for bail.
On the 20th of May 2020, Samuel's project Manager was eventually able to locate the police station but wasn't allowed to see Samuel. The Project Manager had to call friends in higher places before Samuel was granted a bail of N150,000 (I wonder what happened to 'Bail is free').
Samuel is home safe but is afraid for his life as he doesn't know what can happen at anytime.
he might have escaped this time. but what happens next time? because there is definitely going to be a next time as police already know him and where he lives.
Countless queer Nigerians feel trapped in a land where they call home. Their lives as you know it considered illegal across the country, and is punishable by 14 years imprisonment and death in most of the northern states.
On Wednesday 22 of April 2020, a gang targeted a gay police man and his partner and stripped him naked.
A member of the mob said: “Immediately he entered the house, the police officer took down his trousers and pulled off his shirt, bent over and started having anal sex with his partner.
We Immediately broke in and took them down.
The Items recovered from them are three packs of condoms of different brands and the police officer’s identity card.”
The Imo state police confirmed the incident and noted that officer Ukazu was found with his “friend”, and that the mob pounced on the pair after catching them “in acts of homosexuality”. The police said in a statement, that the youths pounced on both of them, beat them to a stupor, then took them to the palace of the traditional leader before they were stopped by the DPO and his team. The police urged the public to stop jungle justice, asking that citizens report grievances to the police. He added that they were investigating and if this two are found guilty, they will face the wrath of the law.
This law is not necessary! This is not what we need in this country. In a time where the world is in a pandemic and scientists are working on a cure for Corona virus, Nigeria is busy victimizing his citizens for their sexual orientation and preference.

Nigerian government officials embezzle 2trillion and set the office of Account General on Fire
The Nigerian National Assembly yesterday demanded that the Federal government should explain how it distributed 2trillion Naira to the poor and needy I the country.
It was requested that they have to be detailed in the report which should include names, how they arrived at the database as well as the demographic spread.
The Finance minister at the time of this meeting, responded that they had these records, and that it was with the accountant general of Nigeria.
9hours after the meeting, the office of the accountant general of Nigeria caught fire...
Do we need further explanation as to how the 2trillion was spent again? I am afraid not because it is obvious that the Nigerian government has embezzled the money as they usually do.
My annoyance is that the Nigerian people will not stand for their rights

Where is President Buhari?
My fellow Nigerians, on the 29th of March the president of Nigeria addressed us on the current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic. The president imposed a lost of restrictions in other to reduce the spread of the virus. Before now, the president had only addressed us once since the outbreak. During the first public address, he instructed that our borders be closed (no plane allowed in or out of the country) but behold President Buhari was sneaked out of Nigeria for medical reasons.
If you wanted the Video of the presidential address broadcasted by the NTA, you will notice they said it was a live broadcast, but it was obviously a recorded video. The was obvious because there were so many cuts in the Video. And the background was a makeshift backdrop! For how long are you people going to keep decieving us?
Does this look like Aso Rock to you? Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/j1cg-MBaGBY
Now my problem is the fact that he and his government has refused to fix the hospitals and the health Center that we have in Nigeria. The money that was used to renovate the presidential clinic in Aso Rock (Presidential Villa) is enough to build a well functioning hospital.
For how long is this going to continue?
How much lies are you dishing out to Nigerians Buhari?

The Truth by Emir Sanusi II
Prof Labdo who is an Islamic professor of the yusuf maitama sule university Kano, once expressed his opinion of the Banished Emir. He said Emir Sanusi II was involved in the last election and also that he was involved in the things that were against the customs of their emirate.
The dethroned Emir was accused of being too vocal and as a traditional leader, he is supposed to contribute to governance in private and not publicly.
The Emir was accused of trying to introduce the western culture to his people...he was accused of being pro-women against men who encouraged women to retaliate if their husbands try to be violent with them.
Well from all the accusations they listed, isn't it obvious that this man was trying to introduce civilization to his people? Isn't it obvious that he wanted the best for both men and women in his emirate. This is an educated man who is willing to show his people to civilization. Watch him address his people in the Video below
On Monday the 9th of March, the Governor of Kano state, Abdulahi Ganduje announced the dethroning of Emir Sanusi II and the appointment of his replacement, Alhaji Ado Bayero. Sanusi was dethroned and banished to Nasarawa state with immediate effect.

Nigeria is bigger than your presidency
We will definitely continue to give our opinions but will president Buhari and his cohorts listen or continue to remain silent?
Please watch this video and see how accurate it is...

This case of security in Nigeria is getting out of hand. It is such a sad tale that Bokoharam still continues their dreaded act in the North.
Let us for a minute not think about the fact that the lawmaker in question is a woman beater who was caught on tape slapping a young lady in a sex store, but reflect on what he is talking about.
To imagine that Bokoharam visited a village nine times between the 5th of December and the 11th of January and nothing was done about it? Come on President Buhari when will the life of Nigerians matter to you? What are you doing in respect to the security of our people?
It is a really sad situation going on here... the annoying part is that the president has no concrete plan toward making the country a safer place for its citizens, instead he joins us in complaining about the state of the country.
It saddens me to watch and hear the level of his ignorance. Can you hear him encourage his people to concentrate more on farming when they are complaining that they are getting kidnapped at the farms and their lands are forcefully taken away from them. If I didn't know better, I would dispute that he isn't the president of Nigeria.
Which way forward?
Have u ever asked why there is never a cut down in the allowances of our Nigerian government officials? The Nigerian government is happy to tax the hell out of the citizens, cut education, health & military budget but they never touch their allowances, no money to increase minimum wage but we can approve billions to renovate house of assembly.
Senator Dino Melaye is a law maker coming out here to brag about riches and attributing his riches to God, when he should be representing his people in the house, bringing about positive change & being a good example. It’s sad that we mistake riches for wealth and put the flashes things before the important ones.
The people people that this Senator represents are living in abject poverty. The money that is allocated for the people that they represent is converted into their pockets and they they come out to brag about. The pensioners is Kogi State of Nigeria are paid their pensions and gratuities but hey, it seems to be okay for Uncle Dino to brag about his riches. It is about time that we begin to call these people what they are 'thieves'!

What they didn't tell us about Sowore Omoyele's release
Omoyele Showore was released just in time for the Christmas celebrations on Christmas eve.
Sowore was first arrested by the Dss in August 2019 on the charges of treason, money laundering and cyberstalking of the president of Nigeria (yes o that is their interpretation of blogging and writing about Buhari).
Sowore was released eventually on Christmas eve based on the pressure that was mounted on the Nigerian Government from Sowore's neighbours as well as lawmakers from the United states of America.
It took a letter signed by four United states Senators and two members of Congress to release Sowore on bail.
