  • We were going about our business this beautiful morning, wondering why $1 is still over 360 naira and why a bag of rice is 20k when our Senators decided to come and disturb us with their drama.

    As is with all things Nigerian we honestly don’t know exactly what is going on. But here’s the gist of what we at least know.

    The DSS barricaded the entrance to the NASS complex and prevented staff and legislators from entering. 

    The State Security Services in #Nigeria (DSS) have blocked the entrance to @nassnigeria, this morning, and are turning away staff and legislators.

    No one knows who the order came from, it apparently came from ‘above’.

    Did Baba Bubu send a text from London? We’re still trying to figure out who this Oga at the top is.

    In fact, a Legislator stood up to the DSS, daring them.

    This is quite fascinating, that the Legislators have this kind of energy, but they couldn’t use this energy to help us looking into #EndSARS.

    After hours of standing up to the DSS and fighting to uphold democracy in Nigeria, the senators were finally granted access into the complex.

    For a group of people who are supposed to be under siege, they seem pretty cheerful.

    All the APC legislators were nowhere to be found.

    What a coincidence.

    The DSS operatives were also masked.

    Muzzbe action film.

    In what might or might not be connected news, Senator Goodswil Akpabio also officially resigned as senate minority leader today.

    Another coincidence. Fascinating.

    Because this is Nigeria we won’t be surprised if the narrative changes in the next couple of hours.

    Next thing we’ll hear is that the DSS were actually there to protect the Senators.

    In a twist of events that can only happen in Nigeria, Ag. President – Yemi Osinbajo fired the DG of DSS, Lawal Daura.

    This might be the most epic way anyone has ever said ‘I am not involved’.

    All this drama, and you wonder why Nigerian politicians are not getting nominations for AMAA awards

    Look at this list. No Nigerian Politician.

    Anyway, all of them will still go to the back and be hugging each other in private.

    Because really, that’s all they care about mostly. Themselves.

    If you are as tired as we are of these people using us to play ten-ten and you still haven’t collected your PVC, you can’t be a serious person.

  • Sahara Reporters Came For Senator Akpabio But He Was Ready For Them

    Sahara Reporters, one of the most controversial Nigerian online news publications is sassy and quick at dropping receipts.

    They come for political figures mercilessly with their brutal headlines and articles.

    While some Nigerians have called for their heads..

    They recently threw a jab at former Governor of Akwa Ibom state and current Senate minority leader, Godswill Akpabio.

    The tweet claimed the senator was linked to the ownership of the collapsed Lagos Lekki Gardens which resulted in the loss of 31 Nigerian lives.

    Because it’s clapback season, the senator sharply came back for them…

    Followed by massive,

    Relentless,

    https://twitter.com/SenAkpabio/status/709827083288109060

    Throwing of shade…

    With a dash of curses.

    @SaharaReporters As long as God is on the throne, you will be disgraced in this nation. God will expose you in the end.

    — Sen Godswill Akpabio (@SenAkpabio) March 15, 2016

    But why is the senator bringing God into this matter?

    @SenAkpabio @SaharaReporters please stop disturbing God.

    — Omo Jesu (@tosinadeda) March 15, 2016

    If it were God of the old testaments…

    Because….

    If I didn’t serve in Uyo, I would have believed Akpabio is an angel. All that allocation for a small state, dude is a fraud.

    If his hands are really clean, he should kuku sue them for defamation of character.
