“Clinton is saying what foreigners want to hear while Trump is saying what White Americans want to hear. At the end, the foreigners will only analyse and vote Clinton on social media while the White Americans will vote for Trump at the polls” ~ Akuma Stephen~ (on US Election, 28/Sept/2016)

“I don’t have any problem with the invasion of Africa by the West in search for scarce resources. I don’t have any problem with the fact that for the western interest to be attained, Patrice Lumumba (DRC), Thomas Sankara (BKF), Kwame Nkrumah (GHN),  Murtala Mohammed (NIG), Steve Biko (SA) were sacrificed and now Gaddafi (LYB). In capitalism, ‘for something living to survive, something living must die’. I however have a problem with the present ignorant and brainwashed African youths – A wasted generation! A generation willing to be the living that must die!” ~ Akuma Stephen~ (on the murder of Gaddafi, 20/0ct/2011)

“After these Miscreants (Rebels) finish assisting the imperialistic forces to impose another surrogate on the African continent, they (Rebels) should be rest assured that if Libya becomes like Iraq and Afghanistan, African Union will not send her troops for peace keeping because AU rejected this senseless war ab initio.” ~ Akuma Stephen~ (on the murder of Gaddafi, 23/August/2011)

“Then someone will say “Steve, be careful about what you write on Facebook. The security operatives are reading you”. The security operatives (CIA, FBI, DSS etc) are paid to gather information; if they don’t read me then they are not doing their job. Every information about Steve including where I am at the moment, they know. What they don’t know is what is on my mind. That is why Facebook keep on asking: “What is on your mind?” As a man without skeletons in my cupboard, I freely discharge what I have on my mind”

“You cannot be an activist by day and a sycophant by night. Activism and sycophancy are two opposite things. You either swim in the hot water of activism with all its challenges or you relax in the cold water of sycophancy with all its enjoyment.” ~ Akuma Stephen (17/07/2013)

“To those that were supporting the bombing of Libya by America and the West, have your friends (America and the West) told you anything about Libya again? Have you cared to ask how the people in Libya are faring after Gaddafi’s regime? Our problem in Africa is simply ignorance!!!” ~Akuma Stephen~ (11/02/2012)

“Researchers in Nigeria in the area of History, Political Science, Sociology and Anthropology have a big work to do in Borno state. They have to unravel the mystery behind the interest of the Arabs in the Kanem-Bornu empire with its former headquarters in the present day Borno, Adamawa, Gombe and Yobe States; an interest that is over 1000 years old. They have to also investigate the strong interest of the West and China in that area and why America has made several attempts to situate their military base there. It is certainly not only about the oil in the Chad basin and the traces of Uranium. Our social scientists have work to do! Boko Haram is just a mask that encapsulates several interest groups. It is not just a PDP-APC thing. Just two days ago, an armed drone with missiles attached to its wings crashed in Mafa LGA of Borno State. Who owns the drone? Why is the US Secret service in a rush to investigate the drone? Has the Nigerian Secret Service started investigation?…. There is more to Boko Haram than meets the eye.” ~Akuma Stephen (28/01/2015)

“-The money the Federal and State governments use for sponsoring tourists (pilgrims) to Saudi Arabia and Israel in a year can build 10 world class hospitals with ultramodern equipment.
-The money Abuja people give to their Pastors as tithes in a year if put together, can be used to construct a Light rail from Mararaba to Zuba”

“Four Religions I detest:
1. Killing in the name of God.
2. Giving testimony in the church that God has blessed you with prosperity whereas you fraudulently made the money at the detriment of another God’s child.
3. Praying and waiting for God to solve a problem(esp political problm) without initiating any concrete action to solve it.
4. Discarding hard work and waiting for GOODLUCK to decide your fate and destiny.” ~The religion I detest~ ~ Akuma Stephen (14/07/2015)

“The peak of man’s wisdom is the realisation of the existence of God” ~Stephen Akuma~ (Personal view of life, 24/05/2015)

“You are not intelligent by having an extraordinary understanding of events around you. You are intelligent if you know that your human wisdom is ordinary but it is made extraordinary by the power of the extraordinary God” ~ Akuma Stephen~ (Personal view of life, 17/02/2015)

“I may study in the best University in the world. I may get the whole degrees in the world, but if the process of getting these degrees keeps me silent about the things that matter and affect my fellow man, I should consider myself an empty vessel with a certified paper brain upon graduation.” ~ Akuma Stephen~ (Personal view of life, 02/03/2014)

“If you are studying abroad and your intention is just to get a certificate and intimidate people with it back home, without using the exposure you gain to better the living condition of your community in Africa, then that certificate is no better than a tissue paper.”
~ Akuma Stephen~ (Personal view of life, 28/02/2014)

“As the West have Santa Claus, so Africans have Masquerades. Unlike the West where Santa still maintains its typical characteristics over the years, the culture surrounding Masquerades in Africa is fading away. Masquerades are usually ushered out with folk songs led by either a flutist, Ogeneist, Ekweist, Ndyerist, Kakakiest or a talking drummer whose looks and dressing is as fearsome as the masquerade. Nowadays instead of flutists, we have young negros sagging their trousers like Lil wayne, putting sun glasses and P-cap like Wizkid and enveloped in a Terry G mannerism, singing songs like “Sekem” and “Shake your bumbum” as they accompany the Masquerade. Just as the depletion of the ozone layer leads to global warming, so is our culture depleting to a lost generation.”
~Stephen Akuma~ (Lost culture, 28/12/2014)

“I just hope that the next President of Nigeria will restrict religion to homes and places of worship and enforce morality at places of work as it is done in France.” ~Stephen Akuma~(16/11/2014)

“The Only language most Nigerian politicians understand is the language of violence. They don’t want to be engaged in any intellectual argument or debate. They look at a non-violent person as a weakling who cannot be recruited and effectively utilized as footsoldiers in their nefarious power/political tussle. To most of these politicians, a violent young man is the palm oil that ambition and aspiration is eaten with. A society that empowers and promotes violent youths and have total disregard for peaceful, intelligent and resourceful young men and women will NOT stand.” ~Akuma Stephen~ (11/02/2013)

“I just read where someone said the highlighted symbol on our new currency is David Star. That they removed an Islamic symbol and replaced it with David’s star. The symbol also looks like the Illuminati symbol or should I say the symbol used in the book “Da vinci code”. I don’t also know if it is a security encrypted code. This is just an example on how the black people have degenerated in esteem. We are busy hoping to see an Israeli or Arabian presence on our currency. Is it not better to hope to see the symbol of Ogene, Ekwe, talking-drum or Ndyer rather than hoping to see David and Goliath or Arabic star?” ~Stephen Akuma~(On the new N100 note, 13/11/2014)

“One thing I love about the average Nigerian family is that despite the hard times and difficulties that exist in marriage, they always update pictures of joy and happiness. This gives hope to the younger generation and those contemplating divorce that though marriage is not a bed of roses, happy moments abound.” ~Stephen Akuma~ (On an average Nigerian family, 07/12/2015)

“I picked an Iphone 5 phone a year ago on a street close to my friend’s house; I called some contact numbers in the phone to inform them that the owner of the phone misplaced it and they should tell him to come to house so so so… and collect his phone. He came two hours later and got his phone. I misplaced my Railcard some days ago and someone picked it; since there is no contact phone number on it, he searched me on Facebook and sent me a message, describing where I can meet him to get my Railcard. I met him and he gave it to me.
Now, we didn’t exhibit this behaviour because we are Christians or Muslims. We behaved this way because this is how citizens of a sane society should behave.” ~Stephen Akuma~(Right attitude, 02/11/2014)

“CONGRATULATIONS TO PRINCE WILLIAM AND KATE ON THE SAFE ARRIVAL OF THEIR NEW BORN BABY. THERE IS ONE UNIQUE THING ABOUT PRINCE WILLIAM THAT I LIKE SO MUCH – HIS HUMILITY. I THINK HE INHERITED THAT FROM HIS MOTHER, PRINCESS DIANA.” ~Stephen Akuma~(03/05/2015)

“TO GIRLS DISHING OUT THEIR NUDE PICTURES ON SOCIAL MEDIA
If you are a commercial sex worker, then it’s fine because you are using technology to advance your chosen career path. It is called professionalism! If you are however doing it to win a man for marriage then you should have a rethink because a man who is not controlled by a sound discipline, religious belief or principles will get hypnotize by your nude pictures then he will do everything to see you face to face. After he succeeds in seeing you face to face, you will hear from him after 20 years not as the mother of his children but on the pages of Newspapers like Fani Kayode and his women. No say I no tell you o” ~Stephen Akuma~(On girls updating nude pictures on social media, 27/11/2013)

“The present day con men (‘pastors’) that call themselves men of god are not different from the colonialist who Arch. Bishop Desmond Tutu described as bringing the Bible in Africa in exchange for our Land. Most of the so called ‘custodians’ of the Christian faith have failed! They have used the name of Christ to dupe ignorant and gullible Africans. They say our home is beyond the sky so we should give them all our possessions via tithes and ‘sowing a seed’ while they live in mansions beneath the sky with exotic cars and private jets.
The Christ they claim to profess has however not failed. He remains the same as he was yesterday, he is today and he will continue to be tomorrow. I am talking from experience not by what a ‘god of man’ told me.” ~Stephen Akuma~(On religion in Nigeria, 22/10/2013

“President Goodluck Jonathan recently said that Boko Haram is political and not religious. I agree with him 100% and I know those supporting GEJ because of his religion will be disappointed. I have always said it and I have written several articles about it. However, the Northern Muslim Ummah must make the picture of Boko Haram being political and not religious clearer. This can be done if they openly and totally dissociate themselves from this group. To do this, the Sultan of Sokoto must first declare a Fatwa on Boko Haram (whether the Fatwa will be effective or not is subject for another discussion). Northern Muslims should update their status and display pictures on social media with special messages similar to those made in support of Palestine during the Israel vs Palestine conflict like: “BOKO HARAM IS EVIL AND ANTI ISLAMIC, WE MUSLIMS CONDEMN THEM” or something like “OH ALLAH SAVE US FROM THE EVIL GROUP, JAMAATU AHLIS SUNNAH LIL DAAWATI WAL JIHAD. This is the best way to tell the world that the Northern Muslim Ummah is against Boko Haram. Being silent in the face of this animosity will appear to some people as being sympathetic to Boko Haram, and it will put moderate Muslims on the same pedestal with extremists/fanatical Muslims like Abubakar Shekau.” ~ Akuma Stephen~ (On Boko Haram, 13/10/2014)

“Uganda has joined Nigeria to pass a law banning same sex marriage. Other African countries are about to follow suit. As the tempo of resistance to this abominable act rises in Africa, the West are looking for possible preys in Africa that will give them a soft landing. They found one in our own Adichie Chimamanda Ngozi, writer of one of my favourite books – Purple Hibiscus. Chimamanda having been mentored by Chinua Achebe got to know why Achebe didn’t win the Nobel Prize in Literature. So she has somehow aligned with the West to politically pursue the Nobel Prize by promoting same sex marriage. If you want to know why Chinua Achebe didn’t win the Nobel Prize even as the father of African Literature, read “Things Fall Apart” and you will find this segment of text in the book:
“…….the white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart” (Excerpt from THINGS FALL APART – Chinua Achebe)
If Achebe was awarded the Nobel Prize, it will mean an acceptance of these lines of text. So Chimamanda is trying to remove any stumbling block to the award by politically begging for it under the guise of promoting human rights.”
~ Akuma Stephen~ (on Chimamanda support for same sex, 28/02/2014)

“I have read books in different subject areas but one book I promised myself not to read is THE 48 LAWS OF POWER by Robert Greene which I believe most Nigerian politicians have read. A book that says you should crush your enemy to a point of no return is not a book that is healthy to my conscience. There is no difference between the word OPPONENT and ENEMY in all the languages in Africa. So when you say crush your enemy, you are invariably saying crush your opponent in the African context. This automatically kills the meaning DEMOCRACY – Perhaps the reason why democracy has not taken roots in Africa.”
~ Akuma Stephen~ (Power and Democracy, 27/02/2014)

“This is how we reason in Nigeria (upside down)
SCENARIO 1: A boy steals a tin of milk in a market square
NIGERIANS: Kill him…. Kill him… we can’t tolerate this nonsense in our community
SCENARIO 2: A Politician steals money meant for the provision of portable water for rural dwellers
NIGERIANS: Na God go punish dem….. God is watching…. One day God will come and help us……E go better one day
SCENARIO 3: A Pastor/GO use fear, coercion and motivational talk to defraud gullible people of their hard earned money and also abet and protect corrupt Bank Managers and Politicians after collecting his own share of their loots to buy exotic cars, private Jets and properties.
NIGERIANS: Thou shall not Judge…… leave judgment to God…….. You will receive the wrath of God if you question the man of god…… It is God’s blessing…… Touch not the Lord’s anointed and do his prophet no harm.
Now Sanusi Lamindo (the whistle-blower) has been suspended. Will Nigerians come out to protest? Your guess is as good as mine.

“It started in National Conscience Party (NCP) where Chief Gani Fawehinmi’s eyes gave me a direction. Then I moved with Mai-gaskia (Buhari) to CPC. Now I am a free agent, with one eye looking at APC and hoping that they will do the needful by fielding Buhari as their presidential candidate. If they allow the corrupt money bags in the party to dictate the tune by sponsoring and supporting a corrupt Bombaclat as their Presidential candidate, then my vote and support will go to the alternative. I will not explain further what alternative mean in this context.” ~ Akuma Stephen~ (On decision not to register as a member of APC, 08/02/2014)

“President Goodluck Jonathan is busy perambulating from one church to another campaigning for a second(third) term. He is playing the religious card as he did before the 2011 election. Instead of him to deliver on his campaign promise of providing us with fresh air, he has successfully suffocated us with carbon monoxide and his cronies, sycophants and footsoldiers are busy forcing us to inhale Dinitrogen monoxide to laugh even when there is nothing to smile about. It is only a fool that will vote for Goodluck Jonathan simply because he is a Christian. Once bitten, twice shy!”

“I sat glued to my seat in the midst of White Caucasians yesterday at the Cinema as I watched a movie (12 YEARS A SLAVE) which is based on a true life story. It brought to the fore painful memories of the inhumane treatment of the Black race during slavery. Each scene of the movie showed the brutality the Black race suffered under the Whites. Some of the slave owners were “men of god” and they read to the slaves, scriptural verses that supported their actions. When the movie ended, emotions were let loose as the White guys could not look at our (Black) faces. They were overwhelmed by the ugly past of their ancestors. As I walked out of the Cinema, the issue of foreign religions resurfaced in my mind. I began to remember the names of some African gods – Brekyitihunuade (Akan), Nyame (Ashante), Abassi (Efik), Amadioha, Arochukwu (Igbo), Ogun, IFA, , Osun, Olorun, Shango (Yoruba), Akpam (Igede) etc. I then spoke to myself within: “if not for my personal experience in my Christian faith, I would have recommended that we (Africans) go back to our deities”.”
~ Akuma Stephen~ (After watching a movie on slavery, 19/01/20014)

“We thank Sanusi for his inspirational talk titled: “Overcoming the fear of vested interest”. He should do us one last favour by telling us the name of the pastor who abetted corruption so that we can advise Nigerians to desist from going to his church and probably demolish the church and its branches nationwide. Any church that promotes corruption is a church of Satan.”

“They (West) should continue to enjoy while it last. The future is pregnant with an uprising that will topple all surrogate leaders in Africa, then we shall reclaim our God given heritage.

“Even Obama mentioned the word “Ubuntu” in his speech at Mandela’s funeral. These rebels killing themselves in Africa with weapons supplied by the West should imbibe the Ubuntu spirit and end the senseless killings. South Sudan and Central African Republic on my mind” ~ Akuma Stephen~ (On the continuous war in Africa – 11/01/2014)

“If President Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan is looking for his enemies, he shouldn’t go to Kastina or Lagos state. His enemies are around him, yes – the guys advising him to setup a fire that will end up to consume him, and the guys telling him that he needs only Ijaw votes to renew his mandate! Then someone will say Abacha (A Military Head of State) was a dictator. ~ Akuma Stephen~(On the GEJ dictatorial tactics of politics, 05/11/2013)

“The worst thing that has happened to Nigeria aside colonisation is not the civil war but the 8years rule of IBB. He succeeded in changing the mentality of an average Nigerian from hard work to quick money, from honesty to dishonesty, from contentment to greed, from due process to 10% kickbacks, from African ethical values to imported dubious beliefs. His only surviving legacy is that he successfully institutionalise corruption. Corruption has remain the number one problem of Nigeria. We support Buhari for president to reset us to our default settings of the pre-IBB era. We believe that as a STRONG man who is honest, he will help us to kick start a STRONG corrupt free institution.” ~Stephen Akuma~ (On 2015 election – 09/01/2013)

“Gen. Mohammadu Buhari is the icing on the cake, the nucleus of the atom, the gravitational pull, the credibility and the umbilical cord connecting the masses to APC. If you remove the subset called Buharism from the universal set called APC, then the magnetic force and cohesive force joining the masses to the APC will fizzle out, thereby making all the elements in the universal set to disperse like gas molecules in a compressed cylinder and obeying Chinua Achebe’s (Things Fall Apart) prologue – “The centre will no longer hold…..” “~Stephen Akuma~ (On 2015 election, 29/12/2013)

“GEJ’s greatest problem is his advisers and loyalists. They create an imaginary support base for him and make him feel he is popular. They have succeeded in pushing him to his political oblivion.” ~Akuma Stephn~ (On the collapse of GEJ’s party – 27/12/2013)

“It is on record that I condemned the creation of South Sudan. What we advocate is the creation of United State of Africa where all the colonial boundaries in Africa will be removed, thereby putting to an end the infamous Berlin Conference of 1884. Kwameh Nkrumah will turn in his grave with this kind of surrogate leaders in Africa. Anything the West say about our Continent becomes a law.” ~Akuma Stephen~ (On the war in South Sudan – 26/12/2013)

“Aminu Waziri Tambuwal is in a dilemma of his life of whether to remain in the PDP or decamp to APC. My advice to him is that if he is decamping to APC because he feels the party is a credible alternative, then he is on the right path. But if he is however decamping to APC simply because he wants to be the party’s presidential candidate, then he should have a rethink because he will end up as frustrated and disappointed like a Cardinal who goes into a conclave simply because he wants to come out as Pope. In Gen. Buhari we trust” ~Akuma Stephen~ (On speaker of the House of Reps., 18/12/2013)

“IF I HAVE MY WAY
No child or widow will hawk for a living
Capital will be given to widows to setup Small/Medium scale businesses
Politicians will fulfill the pact they signed with the people during their campaign
Hawkers will respect the “No sell zone” as the law promulgate
Governors will have a human face but will also be resolute and steadfast in maintaining law and order
I will put an end to hypocrisy
I will condemn heartlessness but praise doggedness and discipline displayed by any public office holder
Make the general public to understand that there is a thick line between wickedness and discipline
Arrest and prosecute any Pastor molesting little children
Imprison any pastor that slaps a child under a phantom accusation that the child is a witch
Condemn the abuse of children and widows” ~Akuma Stephen~

“One pocket sized idiot called Ann Coulter (an American) classified NIGERIANS as CRIMINALS. She also said that UNILAG offers a course called CREDIT CARD FRAUD.
The last time I checked Guinness Book of Record, I found out that there are over 40, 000 HOMICIDE cases every year in AMERICA. We can also conclude from her analysis by classifying all AMERICANS as MURDERERS and we can also infer that at HARVARD UNIVERSITY, one can major in HOW TO MURDER WITH IMPUNITY.
I don’t really blame her; I blame our surrogate leaders in Africa who always run to America to help them perpetuate themselves in power. They so much believe that without America they cannot rule. Just some months ago, GEJ was in US, begging Obama to help him to rule Nigeria, thereby making Nigeria a laughing stock by that singular action. Nigerians should do everything to send this shoeless-clueless man back to Otueke in 2015. I am still waiting for a response from the amorphous transformation propaganda Vuvuzelas (Labaran/Agbati/Okupe).” ~Akuma Stephen~ (Replying Ann Coulter’s insult to Nigerians- 16/11/2013)

“Some people have been ‘inboxing’ me to explain why I have strong interest in the candidacy of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. My interest in Buhari is born out of a patriotic zeal to salvage Nigeria from the hands of a cabal of evil men holding our dear country captive. One thing I tell them is that although we have over 5 million Nigerians that can rule, none of them will be strong enough to clean up the mess created by the PDP. Buhari will clean up this mess and present a clean slate for people like Babatunde Raji Fashola, Rochas Okorocha, Dolnald Duke, Pat Utomi etc to come in. Another thing I tell people is that even if Buhari is on a wheel Chair (God forbid), we will still drag him out in 2015 to contest, because a Buhari on a wheel Chair is better than a clueless PDP candidate.

The next question they ask is that: “don’t you have any other alternative candidate for 2015?” There are always some alternative measures in any plan. We believe that Buhari will be alive to lead us out of this captivity; but if for whatever reason he is not around for 2015 (God forbid), one of these strong candidates can serve as an alternative, to help us kick start a strong institution:
1) Col. Abubakar Dangiwa Umar
2) Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi
3) Gen. Buba Marwa ”
~Akuma Stephen~ (On 2015 election- 19/07/2013)

“Obama is in Africa, preaching the BAD NEWS of same sex marriage. I wonder what was going on in his mind when he referred to himself as “African Son” and wrote: “I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites” (In his book – DREAMS FROM MY FATHER). Someone should please enlighten him that:
In Africa, Homosexuality is an abomination
In Africa, Lesbianism is an abomination
In Africa, Abortion is an abomination
In Africa, bestiality (sexual activity between a human being and an animal) is an abomination
In Africa, premarital sex is an abomination
In Africa, killing innocent women and children (like he did in Libya) is an Abomination.
Obama should retrace his root to Ireland where perhaps such negative vices thrive… ” ~ Akuma Stephen~

“Don’t insult me”! Was the reply I received from a Greek bar girl when I asked to know if she is from Romania or Bulgaria. She quickly added: “I am not from a poor country like that”. I stood speechless for some time, allowing the inference of her statement to digest. I then remembered that Greece recently went through a serious recession as a result of her debt crisis. Perhaps she was proud of her country because despite the financial meltdown, the leaders of her country were still able to manage the country’s scarce resources to keep the country floating, even better than other European countries. I then asked myself within: “If this was the sole reason why she was proud of her country, should I also be proud of a country that her leaders deliberately created an artificial economy meltdown to impoverish her people for 53 years?” ~ Akuma Stephen~ (On Nigeria’s 53rd Independence)

“The political ‘crinkum crankum’ about the deportation of some Igbos from Lagos state has suddenly brought back expired and forgotten politicians like Femi Fani Kayode and Orji Uzor Kalu to limelight with both of them misfiring randomly from the four compass of their mouth, ethnic words of belligerence and attrition. I actually did not want to dive into an issue that has been envelope with ethnic sentiment, but for history sake, let me put my views about the political ‘higi haga’ in Lagos straight: Babatude Raji Fashola has no right under the Nigerian constitution to deport Nigerians from Lagos, thereby creating a country in a country. His actions are quite similar to the activities of MASSOB in the Eastern part of Nigeria, which can be legally interpreted as treason felony (Attempting to create a country out of the Federal Republic of Nigeria). Fashola should either build low scheme houses for the destitute and provide them with the basic necessities of life (following section 14 sub 2b of the 1999 constitution) or deport other “non Lagosians” like Sen. Bola Tinubu (to Osun State) and Sen. Olurunnimbe Mamora (to Ogun State) or he should just let sleeping dogs lie.”  ~ Akuma Stephen~ (on the deportation of some Nigerians from Lagos to other states, 02/09/2013)

“When you deprive people of doing a legitimate job to feed their family, the only option left for them is to do an illegitimate job to feed their family.

“The African traditional worshipers also believe that there is life after death. But unlike the Christian and Islamic faith where the souls are believed to rest in peace, it is quite different in the African tradition religion. It is only in the African tradition religion that people don’t rest, even after death they still work as ancestors, busy eating kola, demanding schnapps, white cock, he-goats and busy settling land dispute, redefining people’s destiny, acting as assassins and detecting who sleeps with who.” ~Stephen Akuma~(African belief system, 03/11/2013)

“There is a saying that goes thus: “you cannot cry more than the bereaved”. The level the French government is sending her troops to Mali is worrisome.

“I woke up today with smile beaming on my face, I then spoke within, “I have satisfied my conscience by actively campaigning in my own little way for a GENUINE process (free and fair election) and a GENUINE man (Buhari) to salvage our dwindling hopes towards national growth. I wrote articles in newspapers, opened a Facebook group with a lot of members, send text messages etc. I can now relax, smile to my conscience and tell my children tomorrow that when it mattered most, I refused to be swallowed by ethnic or religious sentiments on the table reason.

“It has been 15 years since Abacha left planet earth. He forced his way into government through the Gun and his 5 years rule was dictatorial. We can however remember him for some good things like economy stability. Throughout his 5 years rule:
Price of petrol was pegged at N11 for 5 years.
The exchange rate of a dollar to naira was pegged at N71 for 5years.

If you compare Abacha’s regime with the 14 years rule of PDP, you will discover that Abacha was a saint.” ~ Akuma Stephen~ (Posthumous Birthday of Abacha 2013)

“I am a Christian from Nigeria.
My words are my words.
I am not a member of Criminal Association of Nigeria led by Jet flying Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor.
His words are his words.
There was a Christian Association of Nigeria led by Cardinal John Onaiyekan.
His words were my words.” ~ Akuma Stephen~  (On the partisan nature of CAN and its continues support of  misrule, 5/06/2013)

“I woke up this morning and as the rays of the sun penetrates my window and pierces my inner soul, I sat on my bed, shrugged and looked at the picture of Pope Benedict XVI placed vertically on my wall. I looked at the picture with deep emotion; a thought came into me, “remove it”. Another silent thought came, “leave it”.
But why should I leave it? Is he the pope?
Why should I leave it? Is he a saint?
Why should I leave it? Where is his place in the church?
I shrugged again and in deep hallucination, I remembered his words:
“Though I am now retiring to a life of prayer, I will always be close to all of you, and I am sure all of you will be close to me, even though I remain hidden to the world”
I quickly walked to the picture and gently cleaned the particles of dust off it.” ~Stephen Akuma~ (On Pope Benedict XVI retirement, 28 Feb. 2013)

“After Agbani Darego won the Miss World Pageant, Nigeria was given the hosting right of the subsequent edition. Beautiful Queens from different part of the world converged at the empyrean of beauty in Obudu, Calabar to enjoy the beauty of Nigeria (and probably with a plan of visiting again). This event that would have opened Nigeria’s tourism potential to the world was however cancelled when some violent miscreants in Kaduna protested against it, quoting Qur’an chapter An-Nur verse 31: “ (And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and protect their private parts and not show off their adornment except only that which is apparent and to draw their veils all over juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to revealed their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers, or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their (Muslim) women…………..)”. Since Nigeria is blessed with beautiful women, another beautiful damsel (Obabiyi Aishah Ajibola) added another glory to Nigeria (especially the Muslims) by winning the 3rd annual Muslimah World contest after covering her whole body including her nails. Some disgruntled people are opening their buccal cavity to masturbate verbally that even this contest is against their religion. My advice is that the President should name the nearest street to the National Mosque – OBABIYI AISHAH AJIBOLA STREET, and anybody that doesn’t like it should find the nearest transformer and hug it.”  ~ Akuma Stephen~ (On criticism that followed Obabiyi Aishah Ajibola victory at the 3rd annual Muslimah World contest)

“I am hearing rumour that the NLC led by Omar and TUC led by Esele are planning to “occupy Nigeria” with their reason being that there is no steady supply of petrol. Nigerians are waiting for them! The first thing we are going to do is to occupy Omar and Esele houses and burn it to ashes; this will at least appease us of their last treacherous act. We the conscious minds are mobilizing, at the appropriate time, we will hit the streets. It is because of people like Omar and Esele that Abraham Lincoln said: “you can fool some of the people all the time, but not all the people all the time”. ~ Akuma Stephen~  (On Plans by NLC and TUC to protest)

“General Carter Ham (an American) is in Nigeria to present a lecture at the Nigerian Defence Collage and to liaise with our government to end the pressing Boko Haram security challenges. He received a hero’s welcome and he held a meeting with GEJ where GEJ once again called for the support of America in the fight against Boko Haram. The problem with most African leaders is simply ignorance because they don’t know what they have. These people you are asking for help went to Burma (Myanmar), Rwanda, Burundi, Afghanistern and Iraq and performed woefully. They also went to Libya and left Libya in a shadow of her former self. We Nigeria gave peace to Congo in the 60’s, we gave peace to Liberia and Sierra Leone, Angola and South Africa are Independent countries today courtesy of Nigeria. The Boko Haram crisis is political and only a political solution can solve it. One thousand General Carter Ham cannot solve our security challenges. To Gen. Ham, please when you are through with your power point presentation, collect your presentation fee and flight ticket and leave Nigeria. We Nigerians are capable and able to solve our security challenges. We fought a Civil war, we were faced with Military dictatorship and Militancy (MEND, EGBESU, MASSOB and OPC) but we are still one undivided Nigeria. I am optimistic that very soon the Boko Haram crisis will be nipped in the bud and the politicians sponsoring them (whether in PDP or ANPP) will be exposed!” ~ Akuma Stephen~ (12/12/2012)

“The main aim of the sponsors of Boko Haram is to cause crisis in the whole country starting from Northern Nigeria. They try attacking state security Paraphernalia like Police and SSS, but they found out that they were not getting media attention, so the turned to places of worship, knowing that Nigerians are very religious set of people. As a Christian, I have experienced God’s blessings in my religion. My friend Mahmud has also experienced God’s blessings as a Moslem. Mahmud and I know that our present religions were given to us by our parents. If I was born in a Moslem family, I would have ended up as a Moslem. If Mahmud was born in a Christian family, he would have being a Christian. We both know that our present religions are imported and not really from our ancestral root. We are however practicing these ‘non-African’ religions because of what we have experienced in faith.
For those who care to listen, the crisis is not really about Christian and Moslem. The crisis in the Northern part of Nigeria is a fallout of the power game by the contestants in the last PDP primaries. Religion is just the wind these mischievous politicians are using to perpetrate their nefarious power tussle. I can also see the hands of the forces of imperialism in the crisis. I will not also be surprised if the present crisis in Kaduna and Yobe is tailored towards diverting our minds and the media attention from the Subsidy report.” ~Stephen Akuma~ (20 June, 2012)

“Now that Nicholas Sarkozy has lost the presidential election in France, efforts should be made by the International community to arrest him and trial him at the International Court of Justice for the War Crimes he committed in Libya and Ivory Coast. He killed innocent women and children with cluster bombs in Libya; he sponsored rebel groups in Ivory Coast that used child soldiers; he also used the French army in a coup he masterminded that ousted President Laurent Gbagbo of Ivory Coast, replacing him with his surrogate – Alhassane Ouattara. African Union (AU) should wake up and stop the incessant arrest of African Leaders by our enemies under the guise that they are helping Africa. We should also ask for the Arrest of George Bush and Tony Blair for the war crimes they committed in Iraq”. ~ Akuma Stephen~ (On call for the arrest of Sarkozy, 09/05/2012)

“Four Religions I detest:
1. Killing in the name of God.
2. Giving testimony in the church that God has blessed you with prosperity whereas you fraudulently made the money at the detriment of another God’s child.
3. Praying and waiting for God to solve a problem(especially political problem) without initiating any concrete action to solve it.
4. Discarding hard work and waiting for GOODLUCK to decide your fate and destiny” ~ Akuma Stephen~ (On religions I detest)

“I have studied the Life of two great men from Yoruba land and their impact on the Nigerian State. Gani Fewehinmi was imprisoned 32 times and developed cancer in Gombe Prison, all in a struggle to emancipate the common man. Fela Anikulapo Kuti was imprisoned several times and all his properties burnt including his houses and 14 cars. His mum was also killed in the process. He let all these go for the sake of a better Nigeria. Nobody talks of immortalizing these great patriots. I know of another Yoruba man called MKO Abiola who was a friend to all military governments. A sponsor of military coups; a man that introduced buying of votes with ill-gotten wealth. NITEL is in comatose today because his company (ITT) inflated the contract and executed a shabby work. Instead of passing the wires underground as stated in the contract, he passed them on poles that could not stand the test of time. He was one of the surrogates used by the west to manipulate Africa. In India, Mahatma Gandhi was immortalized for his fight for his people, In America, Martin Luther King jnr was immortalized for the fight against racism, In Cuba/Argentina, Ernesto “Che” Guevara was immortalized for his fight against imperialism, In South Africa, Steven Biko was immortalized for his fight against the apartheid regime. In Nigeria, Abiola is about to be immortalize for declaring himself President. I will not be surprise if by tomorrow Ibori, Olabode Geoge or Alamieyeseigha are immortalized. They say Abiola was a philanthropist. How did he get the money? He was rather robbing Peter to pay Paul. I will like to call on the ever conscious students of Unilag to remain dogged in their struggle against the renaming of their institution”. ~ Akuma Stephen~

“African youths nowadays are mostly concerned with music, football and going to parties. The political side is what we don’t want to hear. So any News about Africa that we hear, we consume. The only pan African voice (Ghadaffi) remaining is about to be silenced! Kwameh Nkrumah is gone, Robert Mugabe has been liquidated with economic crisis, Obasanjo is out of the question. When will our eyes open?” ~ Akuma Stephen~ (On our brainwashed youths, 12/05/2011)

“When I Picture Nigeria diagonally from Chad Basin to Lagos and from Sokoto to Bakassi, I discover that the problem with Nigeria is not MEND, Boko Haram, OPC, EGBESU Boys, BAKASSI boys, MASSOB, ethnicity or religion. The problem with Nigeria is the corrupt Elites that have deliberately put the masses on hunger in order to manipulate them at their own freewill. The problem with Nigeria is also from the masses that are not ready to endure in a struggle that will liberate them from the shackles of these vampires called Elites.” ~Akuma Stephen~ (21/02/2012)

“There is a THICK LINE between the schooled and the unschooled. When the schooled agitate for their right, they use words that will win the most harden of hearts. The unschooled find expression of words difficult so they result to violence at any slight provocation. To the unschooled, violence is the palm oil that aspirations are eaten with. There is a THICK LINE between KEN SARO WIWA and MEND. There is also a THICK LINE between SHEHU SANI and BOKO HARAM.” ~Akuma Stephen~ (07/02/2012)

“I have always opposed those that say Nigeria will break up. I have suddenly realize that Nigeria will definitely break up into two groups: BEHIND BARS and OUTSIDE BARS
BEHIND BARS: Those that will go to jail for corruption and other related offenses
OUTSIDE BARS: The masses that will have their country back
For those vibrating in the same frequency with the imperialist that Nigeria will break up along ethnic lines are just wasting their time!” ~Akuma Stephen~ (02/02/2012)

“The forces of imperialism have predicted that Nigeria as a sovereign country will break up in 2015. If you juxtapose this statement with our current security challenges, you will realize that it will not be out of place to conclude that the sophisticated weapons used by these miscreants (Boko Haram) might be from the forces of imperialism. Last week, the Israeli government promised to support our security system. I want to warn them to stay clear of our territorial boundaries. We as a people will NOT put our security into the hands of ‘spies’.” ~Akuma Stephen~ (21/01/2012)

“CEO of HIV/AIDS NGO’s like to swim in HIV/AIDS money but they don’t want to swim in the blood. I will like to advocate that only the people living with HIV/AIDS should own an NGO for HIV/AIDS. The National Action Committee on AIDS (NACA) should also be led by someone living with the Virus. This will to a great extent reduce the stigmatization and ameliorate their living standard”. ~ Akuma Stephen~ (On the corruption by HIV NGOs)

“When you have a stooge as head the voice you hear from the stooge is the voice of the colonialist. It is unfortunate that while progressive countries like Ghana, Senegal and South Africa have vehemently refused to recognize the Rebels Interim National Government in Libya, the Nigerian government has taken side with these faceless miscreants.” ~ Akuma Stephen~ (On Nigeria’s messy foreign policy, 26-08-2011)

“There are three groups of people in the world:
1) Those who watch things happen
2) Those who wonder why things happen
3) Those that make things happen or participate in making things happen
If 10% of Nigerians join the third group, Nigeria will be at the verge of greatness” ~ Akuma Stephen~

“Everyone has four parts:
1) The part he/she knows but people do not know
2) The part he/she don’t know but people know
3) The part he/she knows and people know
4) The part he/she don’t know and people do not know but only God knows
To build a lasting legacy on earth, one need to silently concentrate and build on the part that only he/she knows and people do not know”. ~ Akuma Stephen~

“We remember in a very special way one of the greatest persons that Africa has produced
We remember a freedom fighter and mass emancipator
We remember an activist of repute
We remember a teacher and custodian of African culture and tradition
We remember a composer, singer, dancer and an instrumentalist
We remember a prophet in the order of African traditional religion
We remember a Saint (Big masquerade) in the order of African traditional religion
We remember the one who has death in his porch (Abami eda)
We remember the one who though not physical present on planet earth, but still lives
We Remember FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI “ ~ Akuma Stephen~ (Fela’s Posthumous birthday)

“Chief Gani Fawehinmi SAN, SAM. For the sake of the common you were incarcerated 34 times in 34 years. You developed cancer in Gombe prison for the emancipation of the common man. You didn’t sit on the fence on any issue affecting the common man. We believe you are in heaven interceding for the common man. You live in our hearts…… You are my mentor……” ~ Akuma Stephen~ (Gani’s Posthumous birthday)

“Sometimes I feel the only solution to free Nigerians from the shackles of poverty is Revolution. In my hallucination, two patriots came to my mind – Major Kaduna Nzeogwu and Major Gideon Orkar. Deep in my thoughts, I heard d lyrics of Fela’s music echo silently “….my people sef d fear too much, we fear 4 dey thing we no see…we fear 2 die for freedom…” I then realized that Revolution is not possible in Nigeria.” ~ Akuma Stephen~ (On Change in Nigeria)
