UNDER THE GENERAL'S WATCH
Once we had a President who was called a weakling and clueless. The argument was that his rival and fellow Presidential election contestant was a retired General and if elected, would fight the Boko Haram terrorists, secure the Chibok Girls, fight corruption and virtually save our nation from the Abyss.
The Retired General became President and Boko Haram became bolder and fiercer, "Fulani Herdsmen" sprang up, "Bandits" surfaced, Corruption was modernised and the nation further slides into anarchy. Under his watch, mobs have overrun cities, terrorists have overran barracks, kidnapped girls in Dapchi, wrecked havoc endlessly in Benue and Southern Kaduna, hoodlums have overran election processes and vandalised ballot boxes despite his order to "shoot at sight".
Under the General's watch, kidnappers from abroad have marked Nigeria as a safe haven, safe enough to stash thier victims in Nigeria. It had to take the famous SEAL TEAM 6 of Osama Bin Laden fame to enter Nigeria to secure their citizen. The last time we heard of the exploits of the revered elite squad was in 2011 in Abbottabad, Pakistan when they went to get Osama. The Americans couldn't trust the Pakistani Army to hand Bin Laden over and interestingly they couldn't trust the Nigerian Army to save thier countryman.
Under the General's Watch.

Outrage as Enugu govt accuses Flavour, Phyno of collecting N78m from Ekweremmadu
…Flavour participated in the ENDSARS protests like other celebrities — Brother
The recent allegation levelled against popular music heavyweights, Flavour N’abania and Phyno by the Enugu State government that the duo collected the sum of N78 million from the former Deputy Senate president, Dr. Ike Ekweremmadu to tarnish the image of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi during the nationwide #endsars protests are currently raising dust in many quarters.
Some concerned stakeholders in the state are still wondering why the Technical Assistant to Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi on Media and Public Relations, Comrade Stanley Ezediuto should make such a ‘grave accusation’ on his social media handles, while many others have asked the Enugu State government to apologise to the artistes.
However, the truth remains that many celebrities across the country participated actively in the #endsars protests while it lasted. Indeed, Flavour and Phyno were no exception.
The likes of Runtown, Falz, Davido, Tiwa Savage, DJ Switch and comedian AY.
Others were Femi Kuti, Peter Okoye of the defunct Psquare singing group, media personality Toke Makinwa, popular disc jockey DJ Spinall and former Big Brother Naija stars Anto Lecky and Nelson Enwerem Prince. Big Brother Naija’s Tacha and Elozonam, Dija and Jaywon, MC Lively, Bello Kreb among others participated in the protests.
At the international stage, artistes like Rihanna, rapper Kanye West, Estelle, Trey Songz, Chance the Rapper, CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, and German-Turkish Arsenal player Mesut Özil supported the demonstrators by sending solidarity messages.
In Enugu popular singers alongside Zoro, Kcee among other musicians led thousands of youths in protest against the dreaded Special Anti Robbery Squad.
Following their active involvement in the protest, Comrade Stanley Ezediuto had accused the duo of collecting N78 million from Senator Ike Ekweremmadu to campaign against the incumbent governor of the state.
“We are aware of the gifting of a huge sum of N78 million to Phyno and Flavour to campaign against the governor of Enugu State in the ongoing #endsars protest nationwide by Senator Ike Ekweremmadu. But we are warning against hijacking of the protest by strange characters for political reasons. Enugu State Government has lived up to expectations and the governor will continue to deliver dividends of democracy to the people.”
“Ike Ekweremmadu should not use this opportunity to castigate the working government of Enugu State through Phyno and Flavour for his 2023 guber aspiration. If he fails to desist from so doing, we shall remind him of the many abandoned projects in his constituency which should be of major concern to him. These revered artistes should not allow themselves to be used against the peaceful state of Enugu,” he warned.
However, reacting to the allegation, Flavour’s elder brother, who’s also his booking agent, Benjamin said the highlife Afro singer participated in the #endsars protests like other celebrities across the country.
“It means that all the celebrities that participated in the #endsars protests also collected money from the politicians. That’s what the allegation implies. So, in this case, you just have to use your common sense,” he added.
Also, reacting to the allegation when contacted, Flavour’s younger brother, DJ Derekz, said the “Nwa Baby” singer will soon release an official statement to that effect.
Recall that days back, Flavour and Phyno took to their social media platforms,warning that should anything happen to them, the governor of Enugu State should be held responsible for it. They alleged that the governor threatened to deal with them for announcing that he should do more in delivering dividends of democracy to Enugu people. “Today our lives were threatened and we are making it clear that if anything happens to any single one of us or any protesters, let it be known that it was done by the Enugu State Government,” Flavour wrote on IG.

"There comes a time in a man’s life when he needs to settle and there is no better time than now.
For years, my major prayer point has been for God to give me a Life and Destiny partner that can understand my complex nature, as well as my calling to serve God and Humanity and vice versa.
I have discovered that marriage is not only about procreation and pleasure. Just as significantly, it is about two people coming together to achieve the assignment given to them by God, the Creator of the institution of marriage.
God didnt just answer my prayers...he gave me more than I asked for in you. So that being said I want to say thank you.
Thank you for being my friend
Thank you for never quitting on me even in my worst days and behaviors.
Thank you for your humility and fear of God.
Thank you standing by me and staying up all night praying with me for days when it seemed like the whole world was against me.
Thank you for trusting and believing in me enough to mentor and teach you.
Thank you for not being scared to correct me when you think I’m about to take a wrong step and vice versa.
Thank you for allowing me to be me, accepting my personality and helping me work on my weaknesses and vice versa.
Thank you for being an amazing cook knowing that I can’t cook to save my life.
Thank you for agreeing to be the mother of my kids
And last but not the least;
Thank you for agreeing to spend the rest of your life with me.
My Prayer is that as we step into the next phase of our life, God who is the founder of this institution called marriage will lead and teach in all things. I Love you to the moon No sorry the moon is too far maybe to the furthest part of the earth wit Uber.
Ok bye we have a wedding to plan.
