I sometimes wonder if our rough men are not working for the other side – our enemies, or perhaps they have become politicians, playing games of stakes with the lives of the people that they are supposed to protect, with their bosses jostling for more and more power… Nigerian intelligence service men, please wake up and stop dropping the ball. Forget the politics. Nigeria is yours to save.
You guys are supposed to be smart. I know you evolved from the Police – just as many other agencies did. By splintering from the Police, you were meant to be cleaner, and smarter, and much quicker on your feet. Is it politics that overcame you guys?

ONITSHA – Chief Mbazulike Amechi, first republic Aviation Minister has said that anybody saying that Nigeria is alright and stronger at the moment is not only sick but is living in a fool’s paradise.
Reacting to a recent statement credited to President Muhammadu Buhari shortly before he left Nigeria for a medical trip abroad that Niger is stronger when united than when divided, Amechi stated that with the present economic downturn, insecurity and instability, Nigeria is not as strong as it should when united.
Amechi who spoke in an exclusive interview during the recent meeting of Anambra Elders and Stakeholders’ ANELDERS, Forum for Good Leadership, held in his country home, Ukpor, Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra state, said nobody is against Nigeria being united but it is Buhai himself that is dividing Nigeria through his leadership style.
