@Viqforlan@Oluwakomiyo_@Kelvin_Odanz Power resides where men believe it resides. Power is not tied to a chair or building but in the hearts and beliefs of the people. This is why most politicians and tyrants are always shackled by public opinion. Narcissists can’t survive without accolades and praise.
@Viqforlan@Oluwakomiyo_@Kelvin_Odanz The pillars of power as I have often admonished is not in a building. It lies in the control of the group mind, beliefs and public opinion. This is why your politicians seized all media licenses and owned Print and digital media. That has shifted now with Twitter’s disrupt.
@Viqforlan@Oluwakomiyo_@Kelvin_Odanz Now they are panicking. The generation that will make the needed change (18-45) are not Newspaper junkies but get their info from Twitter. You are a major threat if that space listens to you & you are accountable to the populace altruistically.
@Viqforlan@Oluwakomiyo_@Kelvin_Odanz Second pillar of power is Control of Finance, Taxation and fiscal policy. You have seen how they systemically weaponized poverty and ruined the financial system and businesses with unconscionable bans. This is with the understanding that impoverished people won’t think beyond now
@Viqforlan@Oluwakomiyo_@Kelvin_Odanz This is why N5k during elections buys the souls of men. Hunger is a tool of slavery. A hungry man can sell his own child for a morsel of pottage. We have seen how our ceremonial SANS have become palace idiots. Hunger is real. It transmogrifies.
@Viqforlan@Oluwakomiyo_@Kelvin_Odanz The third and final one is the control of Monopoly of Violence. This is why they kept saying they can’t afford to #EndSARS. The Police is the closest authority to the people. Democratizing it is the only way forward but that will mean it won’t work for the politicos again.
@Viqforlan@Oluwakomiyo_@Kelvin_Odanz Since we have been running the advocacy without the funds of politicians and their weaponization of poverty has not worked on us, this sends the second jitters down their spine. Forget about the acronyms. The ruling class is one. It is the people against them always.
@Viqforlan@Oluwakomiyo_@Kelvin_Odanz So the fundamental pillars have crumbled in principles and power has left where it used to be as silent as the Holy Ghost in the ICHABOD equation. Thus, desperation has been ignited. Money has lost its worth. Trust has become the new currency & this you can’t steal.
@Viqforlan@Oluwakomiyo_@Kelvin_Odanz So if the understanding of these fundamental concept defined and known by me going 30years have not driven me mad why would it now? You have been living in the execution of our manifesto for a year and we have been delivering on our promises without seeking office.
@Viqforlan@Oluwakomiyo_@Kelvin_Odanz The ideal is to bring down the construct of vertical Collectivism. We are not meant to dominate ourselves but coexist and collaborate for better society. I should care about you as much as I care about myself and my family. Love is All. It is practicable.
@Viqforlan@Oluwakomiyo_@Kelvin_Odanz Real power is the ability to influence and impact your world. This is what makes you live on in the hearts of generations. This is the leadership example of Jesus & other prophets we still mention till this day. The commercial sold to us by liberal mainstream media has ruined us.
@Viqforlan@Oluwakomiyo_@Kelvin_Odanz Anyways, let me stop here. Attend the class and learn more. It is free as always. Our mandate is to raise consciousness with a critical mass of transformational leaders and enlightened followers who are easy to govern, difficult to rule and impossible to enslave. Cheers

Thanks @DemolaRewaju for your atticism & clarity on political cum historical facts. Let me clear the air on my position. First, I didn’t strategize for the PDP & have never met the leadership of the party in any regard. I strategized for the future of Nigeria with the President.
It has neither ethno religious coloration nor political partisanship. All I told him before the election came to pass and all we deliberated on happened just as forecasted. He became a winner despite the loss of the election because he meant well for all & value good counsel.
After election I did gave free advices on how the PDP could build back the party in order to avoid having a unitary party system (an advocacy that brought about the creation of the APC Merger- of which I was involved in its strategic birth, when PDP became complacent).
As wonderful as this idea is, it won’t win the election. The battle ground geopolitical zone is not SS or SE but the SW. If @Atiku can pick a formidable influential youth from the SW (Male/Female) it will make the difference. NOI can always serve in the Admin with impact.
Also, he may need to allow the record reflect that he is only running this time to deliver Nigeria from the current darkness that envelopes her by deploying his resources and political structures to that effect as a legacy and would not seek a second term.
This way, the platitude of a promise by the leadership of the APC, void of integrity, on 2023 Presidential zoning to the SW will be neutralized and reinvigorated by a promise they can take to the bank and act upon should there be a breach.
When it comes to Money, Virtue is often defenestrated (virtually thrown out the window). The forth coming election would either be Won, Bought or Stolen. With the position of @inecnigeria in collusion with those bent on rigging the election with fictitious figures, this is clear.
90% (if not all) of the elections conducted under this “Regime” has been fraught with electoral fraud thus when opposition wins election it is declared inconclusive and rigged via an unconscionable re-run designed to disenfranchise the people. So a Win is out of the question.
Better phrased, a Win may not be enough under this Regime if you are not in Tahir favored books. The Wife of the president even raised an alarm over injustices within the President’s party let alone the wrath reserved for the opposition just to retain power by force.
The simplest of tweets can be far more complicated than threads. This one right here can be a book yet barely scratch the surface of the expression. I’m simply saying, don’t confuse Vengeance with Justice the same way Anger must not be confused with Strength. ⛱
There are many people out there broken into pieces and seeking those that are whole to break just to get even with life. We must understand that sadness sometimes carry a whole lot of weight that often times attempt to stop you from breathing.
Your attitude and character is everything. If you can’t contain your hate and prejudices simply because of a tweet you read, then nothing else matters. You will always find anything you seek. If you want to be offended even a harmless emoji will set you ablaze. Watch it.
I really don’t know the motive of deploying hate towards people who see things differently. Changing a mind is different from having an argument. Persuasion takes patience, skill and insight, not force. You can’t insult me into supporting your sentiments. 🤔
You must never forget the next line of action when people undermine you. When they think they can walk over your Heart with their dirty feet, when they take your softness for weakness.
I’m sore disappointed in the development coming from @OfficialAPCNg primaries in Bauchi. Where @alouibrahim92 was rigged out despite the people’s support in huge numbers. Thugs were deployed and voters were harassed. Result sheets falsified in collusion with party officials. 😞
This is how APC is losing their great potentials. All those I knew from back in the days of great sacrifices for fo CPC/APC have been frustrated out of the party. The few that managed to keep the faith are now being disincentivized. Where’s their automatic ticket despite loyalty?
Is this what @MBuhari will be remembered for? All your loyal men/women ruined because of self centered party politics that ostracizes and impoverishes the people. Is the APC reserved for families and friends now? 2019 will be very interesting. This is really pathetic. @abellodam
