Reintroduction of WAI Brigades, my opinion against.

We are going back to 1983! Buhari takes Nigeria 33years back to his first tenure where he  introduced the brigade.

The President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government, on Monday, relaunched the War Against Indiscipline, WAI Brigade, in Abuja, saying in this era of insecurity, violence, kidnapping, and other forms of social vices, the role of the Brigade in civil intelligence gathering cannot be over emphasized.

As Abari recalled the WAI Brigade was a brain-child of President Buhari, who as Military Head of State in 1983 established the Brigade, to instill discipline among Nigerians, as well as fight endemic corruption.

There is no evidence up to date to prove that WAI Brigade ever brought a  reduction in crime, all we can remember is the harassments and popular "bulala", the humiliations Nigerians had to suffer, no one should forget that the brigades men filled the streets and had with them "koboko" and would lash out on any and every Nigerian for even dropping waterproof on the ground.
There is no difference then and now, Buhari's war is for those against him - remember the 53 suitcase saga of 1984? It's still unclear till date. If he were so pure why is the air uncleared of his involvements?
Nigerians should brace up for the worst nightmare of the new Buhari era.

Former Deputy Governor to return 1.3billion

EFCC arrested Mr. Omisore in Abuja on July 3 for allegedly collecting the huge funds from Sambo Dasuki, former National Security Adviser.
On Friday night Iyiola Omisore was  released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission after he agreed to refund the over N1.3billion he allegedly received from the office of the National Security Adviser.

As gathered he has paid the first installment of N300million before he was allowed to go home.
Those familiar with the negotiation said before his release on Friday, Mr. Omisore issued a letter authorising his bank to release 170 million to EFCC.
He also gave the commission a draft of N130 million, bringing the first installment of the repayment plan to N300 million.
Mr. Omisore, a former deputy governor of Osun State and PDP flag-bearer in the 2014 Osun governorship election, will  be returning on Monday for further negotiations regarding how he would stagger the refund of the remaining one billion.

Initially Mr. Omisore had denied benefiting from Dasukigate and had sued EFCC, seeking N10 billion damages, after he was declared wanted in May.
However, Mr. Omisore, while in detention, admitted to collecting the sum from Mr. Dasuki.

The waves hitting the country Nigeria.

The bokoharam effect has almost dwindled or brought to a halt activities in affected areas.
Down the south Niger Delta Avengers are seriously dishing out their malice against the government, an action that is almost crumbling the nation.
By the East the movement for actualization of Biafra is making waves.
Down by the west, they have come to realise that one Nigeria is a mirage.
Take it or leave it, Nigeria needs to be rethought. She has even been prophecied to break up.
As if everything Nigeria stood for was dependent on oil price, we are crumbling.
We are not moving forward, perhaps the blood of our hero past may have dried up and doesn't appease the god of unity anymore. Or we lost our way, long before we even made our first step.
Nigeria is richly blessed, but the elected, who were elected to manage our resources, have been catering away with it. As the people, our eyes were open way too late.
The songs of corruption, has taken a new turn, internationally we are said to be kings of corruption. Although the man who gave us that title will forever be remembered as the prime minister who broke two unions: EU and UK. Even at that those caught, and those revealed to have hands deep in the pockets of corruption, still roam in the political board room, we are yet to see tangible effect from the so called hunt for corruption.
The waves hitting Nigeria is hitting her hard, and steady and like every ship, this is the point the captain should be barking out the order, "all hands on deck!!!"
