#‎FakeChangeAgentsOfNigeria‬


"About 99% or more of those Nigerian politicians and public office holders in the APC, the governing party of Nigeria who are publicly clamoring for a change in the political and economic status quo of Nigeria are not the true agents of change in all truth, honesty and reality. These guys are political opportunists and sycophants who are using the impeccable and unblemished track record of exemplary leadership abilities, genuine political popularity, honesty, transparency, integrity and anti-corruption reputation of Muhammadu Buhari that they do not have on their own political resumes to remain relevant in the scheme of things in the Nigerian politics" ‪

Corruption can never fight another corruption successfully and in all reality in Nigeria.

 The heavily corrupt APC politicians knew this fact too well from the onset of the 2015 presidential campaign that they will never be able to politically and electorally defeat another heavily corrupt President Goodluck Jonathan and his rogue PDP from power. Buhari that is known for his anti-corruption stance in Nigeria became the sacrificial lamb that was used to do the dirty job that these corrupt APC politicians could not do. Now that Buhari has helped them to defeat Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP from power, it is now back to the same era of business as usual which has now given birth to the ongoing power tussle in the national assembly for money and political influence as well as the ongoing internal political crisis inside the APC which has now put the whole change agenda that millions of Nigerian voted for on March 28, 2015 on the back burner"

The West’s Brawndo Journalism

by Captain Fifteen
I’m appalled at just how crude, self-righteous, and horribly one-sided our mainstream reporting is. What baffles me even more is that the majority of the people I’ve spoken to on the Western side of the Iron Curtain don’t notice it and shudder when I mention the word “propaganda” when referring to it. It seems to be such a Pavlovian response that every time I see the reaction, the electrolytes scene from the movie Idiocracy immediately comes to mind (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vw2CrY9Igs); hence the title of the article.
