ALUU 4; "NO LOVE IN THE HEART OF THE CITY" mp3 download

The past few days have been too emotionally overwhelming and draining for me to blog about the gruesome and brutal murder of Tekena. Llyod, Chidiaka and Ugonna
(the Aluu 4 as they have come to be known).

 

After waking up to the news on Friday of four armed robbers being caught and jungle justice meted out to them in the heart of Port Harcourt city, it has been a roller coaster ride of one version of the story or another. The release of the video of that dastardly act committed by members of Aluu community was enough to send shock waves down the spines of even the most  cold-hearted Nigerian. 

    So graphic and disheartening was the video that a friend of mine posted on her TL that after taking a sneak peek at the video, she now was too afraid to even venture near the folder on her phone to delete it. Brave Halima, if only you knew that some of us were too much of cowards to even dare a sneak peek at the said video after seeing those graphic pictures form the scene of the EVIL. I heard through the grapevine that the video had been removed from Youtube because of its horrific nature in spite of the fact that it had gone real viral.

   Nigerians have been united in raising their voice against the ABOMINATION "Aluu" (permit my spelling Igbo folks) and have called on the State to use every security apparatus available to it in fishing out the perpetrators of this evil act and ensure justice prevails. THE WORLD IS WATCHING!!!.

The average Nigerian is a peace-loving man but who can blame them? When you watch that video,view the picture from the scene, or hear the “true story”  making the rounds you will agree that there comes a time when JUSTICE take precedence over PEACE. NIGERIANS want JUSTICE FOR THE ALUU FOUR, and we must get it. Oh, we will get it one way or another.

The story about Tekena, Chidiaka, Ugonna and Llyod has taken a new turn with a revelation that one of the deceased was a creditor who had simply had enough of stories from his debtor and so decided to pay him a surprise visit on the fateful day accompanied by his friends. Little did they know what other plans the Aluus(forbidden and abominable )community had in stock for them.

 Akpos: Teasher, A bird can FLY, but a fly can not BIRD.

Politicizing the Health of Dame Patience Jonathan

“My fellow widows…”

 “My Husband and Sambo is a good people…” 

“The President was once a Child and the Senators were once a Children…” 

“Where we you pless ya hand...’’

 “Pless ya hand under the Humblerra…”

 “Ojukwu is dead but his manhood lives on...” 

No doubt these blunders ring a bell especially if you’re one taken with social media and the attendant hyper-inflated news stories that make the rounds daily in Nigeria. The object of these seemingly humorous grammatical errors has never been one to shy away from the media and those who will be true to themselves will agree that she is down to earth and not one to put on airs. This has not stopped her critics and most recently her detractors from constantly keeping her in eagle eye-view in order to publish her innumerable “grammatical errors”. As a matter of fact, many have come up with fictitious quotations attributed to her, forgetting that English is not our mother tongue and even those who have English as their first language sometimes have difficulty speaking it correctly. No Briton can speak my dialect perfectly I can assure you.       

     Dame Patience Goodluck Jonathan will undoubtedly emerge an uncontested winner if ever an award was organized to honour the most vilified and ridiculed First Lady in Nigeria’s history. I have no doubt in my heart that former First Lady, Turai Y’ardua’s literacy level or dare I say “social GP” could not have been higher than that of Dame Patience Jonathan. Even so, the rumour lords would not let our ears take a break from tales of how the late President Umar Y’ardua had had a tutor hired for the first lady to coach her not just in matters of grammar constructions but social etiquettes as well. Turai was no doubt interested in keeping appearances and we all now know how much of woman behind the show she really was in spite of the “gentle dove” look she always managed to put on for Nigerians (We’ll wait to hear what “stunts” our dear Dame pulled after her husband’s tenure). 

Dame Patience Jonathan is in the news again and this time it is not about her “grammatical missiles”. It’s about a much more delicate issue; her health. In the past few weeks, speculations, allegations, accusations and counter accusations have been flying around concerning the First Lady’s health. While Sahara Reporters reported that she had been flown abroad for an emergency surgery after food poisoning, they came up days later to say that she was in a German hospital recuperating from an appendectomy. Still some time later, they alleged that she had gone to have fibroids removed. All sorts of media have been used by both cocktail journalists and political opponents to explore the current state of health of the first lady (whatever that is) to their advantage. We have since woken each day to fresh angles to the stale story. If it is not about the President having given express instructions against any statement from any Villa staff over the first lady’s health, it is about the president not having paid a visit to his wife since her admission to the hospital. Some folks have acquired overnight fame over the issue of Dame’s health castigating the president through all media possible for not “officially of formally” informing Nigerians of his wife’s state of health. In all of this, one thing is evident; most of the reports or speculations are not borne out of genuine concern for the first lady’s health. As a matter of fact, some folks have come with a new dimension to the whole story. It is that since the days of Gen. Sanni Abacha, no first family has left the villa without losing a member of household…Hmmmm food for thought indeed. If really that be the case, should we as a nation glory in that knowledge? What really is wisdom if it is not the application of knowledge to set oneself free from any yoke? 

WHAT TRIBE ARE YOU?

There are only three tribes in Nigeria: 

1.  Tribe of Nation builders (those who take steps to actualize the dream) 

2.  Tribe of Demagogues/ Evil Geniuses (Those who hijack political power to protect their trillion dollar oil and gas interests)

3.  Tribe of Arm-chair philosophers (Those who know all the reasons why things won't work yet can't be trusted to do anything positive given the chance). 

 

 

NIGERIA @t 52, what tribe are You!

NIGERIA @ 52- Worth Celebrating Against All Odds. What do you think?

 Nigeria may not have gotten it all right at this point. We may not have rid our system of corruption and other vices. Our security system may have deteriorated. Our Power sector may still be in the dungeons, our leaders still not ready to take responsibility, but I tell you, I still want to celebrate my country. Primarily because;

• I know CHANGE will come
• This is Nigeria, my Nigeria where I am and will always be a FIRST CLASS citizen

To crown it all, let me echo the words a tweetpal,
"Insulting Nigeria on her Independence anniversary is like insulting your father on his birthday for not being like Aliko Dangote!"
Don't you think so?
