Hope for "THE SINKING SHIP"

  "I once described the party as a sinking ship and I meant it. However we will join our hands together now and stop that ship from sinking because we have no choice but to do so. I would rather go back to a sinking ship and salvage it rather than be in bed with men and women who have blood on their hands and whose desperation for power and to rule over those that they believe were born to be their slaves. The Haramites in the APC cannot be trusted with power. It is as simple as that. They are the greater and greatest evil. They are the darkness that seeks the darkness. PDP is the only party that can stop them and that is why I have gone back to them. I will also use my good offices to talk to Baba Obasanjo to stop fliriting with these demons in the APC because deep down they secretly hate him. I have only revealed 10 per cent of what I know because I do not want to create havoc in this country but slowly the whole truth about the APC will emerge. Who really started it, what it's real agenda is, whose interests it is designed to further and protect and so on and so forth will soon come out. Sadly the overwhelming majority of it's members have no idea what is really going on behind the scenes and what the agenda really is. Those are the ones that I really feel sorry for. They will cry at the end of the day if APC are ever able to seize power at the Federal level because if that happens we will all become second class citizens in a new colony. One day the Nigerian people will thank me for the step that I have taken but for now they can continue to abuse me for what I have done. At least I have the courage of my convictions and, unlike many others, I have refused to be intimidated and to remain silently in what is essentially a cult. Despite all it's defects and challenges I have gone back to my family the PDP and I am glad to be there. I am also glad that they have welcomed me with open arms. Now the work begins. To the Hramites of the APC I say ''eat your hearts out and go and die''. Your insults, lies and misrepresentations do not move me. They only strenghten my resolve to protect my country and my people from the evil that you represent. -FFK

Boko Haram turns against the Emirs. Emir of Gwazo killed while trying to escape.

 The traditional leader of Gwazo Emirate was today killed by  members of the Islamist terrorist group in Nigeria (Boko Haram) the terrorist group kidnapped three high ranking Emirs in northeastern Nigeria, two of the emirs escaped unhurt, but the third, Muhammadu Idrisa Timta, the Emir of Gwoza, died while trying to escape from the terrorists

we learnt  that Boko Haram gunmen seized the emirs as they made a trip to Gombe, the capital of Gombe State, to attend the funeral of the Emir of Gombe, Shehu Abubakar, who died last Tuesday in London.  

“Boko Haram militants ambushed the Emirs convoy and kidnapped the traditional rulers,” according to  SaharaReporters. 

Two of the  traditional rulers who escaped were identified as the Emir of Askira, Abdullahi Askirama and the Emir Of Uba, Ismaila Mamza

Gwoza is a community in northern Nigeria that is over 90% Muslim. As recently as six years ago it was inconceivable to imagine any birth control or family planning options. They were regarded as taboo. The accepted norm was that  “God gives children and God will provide for the children”. It was therefore not unusual to see women giving birth to 10 or more children. The cultural belief system encouraged the high rate as the more children a women had, the more respect she received

 from her husband and the greater her status within the  community..    It's very unfortunate. This guys don't have regards for their elders any more.
