DARKER DAYS WILL BEAM NIGERIANS IN THE FUTURE

Yes, Darker days will beam Nigerians in the future as the Buhari-drove Federal Government culminates arrangements to quell free discourse and subject flexibilities utilizing security offices and solid arm strategies.


The previous seven months of Buhari's administration has seen an expanded national dismay with his legislature. One of the devices utilized by natives to express their dismay towards the Nigerian government is social networking and remarks areas on online daily papers and writes.
Data accessible to The Trent uncover an unreasonable plot by security strengths faithful to President Muhammadu Buhari's gathering, the All Progressives Congress (APC) to convey a scope of procedures to "take out" pundits and driving restriction voices in the nation.
In September 2015, The Trent turned into the first daily paper to caution Nigerians and the worldwide group on the imperialism of the Buhari administration after the Executive Editor, Ms. Aziza Uko of TheTrentTeam got an open danger from the Presidency. The scene was only one more, in a progression of harassing, and dangers of capture focused at our writers and Ms. Uko from flunkies of the legislature and Nigeria's Secret Police. 

THE SOCIAL MEDIA HEADACHE

By security source, who talked with The Trent on state of obscurity, Buhari's internal circle is to a great degree uncomfortable with the numerous outrages that explode against the legislature on online networking. A late case is the matter of the "pulled back" 2016 spending plan which was initially uncovered on Twitter by Mr. Deji Adeyanju, a top resistance voice on online networking.

Adeyanju, a People's Democratic Party youth pioneer and previous presidential helper amid the Jonathan organization had uncovered that the Buhari Presidency had pulled back the 2016 Budget from the National Assembly through the secondary passage on January 4, 2016, over a week prior to the news of a "missing spending plan" hit news features.

This uncover came days after Nigerians had taken to Twitter and Facebook to express their objection to amazing costs nitty gritty in the monetary allowance including the President's bolstering charge, arrangements to purchase fresh out of the plastic new BMW autos, and a few other budgetary distributions. Subject driven hashtags like #BudgetOfYams – yams being a slang for debasement slanted for quite a long time on online networking.

"These adolescents on Twitter and other online networking are giving this legislature trouble controlling the account," our source unveiled. "There is across the board worry that if this pattern is not checked, online networking will bring Buhari down the same way it took Goodluck out of office."

Another source near the Presidency tells our journalist that a portion of the strategies to be sent on a more extensive scale included capturing resistance pioneers with solid vicinity on social networking; character death endeavors focused at online faultfinders of Buhari; intimidation endeavors by striking trepidation into restriction pioneers driving them to go underground; and bringing spurious charges of subversion against social networking activists.

THE DSS: A WILLING PARTNER IN OPPRESSION

Our examinations affirm that the Department of State Security Services (DSS) is key to this vile plot to unleash another size of autocracy on Nigerian natives and smother free discourse and squeeze opportunities. A Port Harcourt based attorney, Best Ogbowu Jnr (Esq.) who utilizes the Facebook name, Best Bonn, describes being greeted gestapo style by equipped agents of the DSS as he left a fast-food eatery on October 25, 2015.

By, he opposed capture, since he thought they were hijackers, drawing in the consideration of a group and a maritime officer who was close-by. In the resulting meeting, he could call his dad and his legal advisor partners who went to the scene and mediated for his sake. "That is the manner by which I wound up in the DSS shielding my Facebook posts for four days," Best Bonn told our journalist.

"One of them had DSS strikingly composed on both sides of his vest and held a firearm guiding towards my bearing undermined toward shoot me in the event that I endeavor to flee.

"Fortunately, from amongst the group a moderately aged man of around 55 who recognized himself as a staff of the Nigerian Air Force ventured into the circumstance and a contention guaranteed.

"I demanded that I've not conferred any crime to warrant the DSD lifting me up like a highwayman when their administrations were very required in the north to check Boko Haram.

"My dad arrived, in a matter of seconds, with two of my uncles and my key at work as well. After an exceptional contention, the DSS agents said they were not capturing me but rather it was a welcome to their office." The full story on Best Bonn's experience with the DSS will be distributed one week from now. Also read CRACKDOWN: Buhari Government Targets Opposition Voices On Social Media {INVESTIGATION}

SETTING A DIRECTION VS PLANNING AND BUDGETING

Since the function of leadership is to produce change, setting the direction of that change is fundamental to leadership. Setting direction is never the same as planning or even long-term planning, although people often confuse the two. Planning is a management process, deductive in nature and designed to produce orderly results, not change. Setting a direction is more inductive.

What’s more, the direction-setting aspect of leadership does not produce plans; it creates vision and strategies. These describe a business, technology, or corporate culture in terms of what it should become over the long term and articulate a feasible way of achieving this goal. Most discussions of vision have a tendency to degenerate into the mystical. The implication is that a vision is something mysterious that mere mortals, even talented ones, could never hope to have. But developing

ON BUHARI, NEW YORK TMES WROTE

Four months after seizing power, Nigeria’s military leaders appear to be suffering an erosion of popular support. Last Dec. 31, Maj. Gen. Mohammed Buhari led a group of young officers in a coup against the civilian Government of President Shehu Shagari, saying the takeover was necessary to save Nigeria, Africa’s richest and most populous nation, from economic collapse. The military intervention appeared at the time to enjoy enthusiastic support from a broad range of Nigeria’s population. Many intellectuals argued that the corruption and incompetence of the Shagari administration had made drastic action both necessary and inevitable. Traders, merchants and people in the streets welcomed the soldiers and looked forward to a quick improvement in their standard of living. Growing Disappointment Recently, however, there seems to be growing disappointment with both the military Government’s approach and pace. Since coming to power, this Government has not found a sing
