Comedian Francis Agoda aka I Go Dye has once again taken to social media to tackle the Buhari-led administration.

In an open letter to President Buhari, I Go Dye asked President Buhari what his government has done with all the recovered Abacha loot and why the government had to share some of the recovered loot to the poor when such money can be used to rehabilitate hospitals so he, Buhari, would have no need going abroad for treatment.

 

On the fight against corruption, the comedian wondered why those who are with President Buhari are seen as saints. Read what he wrote below

 

  • Your Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari
    As madact Ambassador on make A Difference Against Corruption Today, it has expanded my passion to speak.It saddens my heart that after 58 years all sectors of our social
    and economic lives has been plunged in failure. Over the years,millions of graduates continue to wade through trying times,while youths with creative artistry,artisans and our young women have been denied the true values of nationhood,self esteem has been destroyed,many weep and sleep on a daily basis without a meal

    Sir,
    The funds recovered from looters in the past fews years of your government is 739 billion Naira, Abacha recovered returned loot is 322,000,000 dollars equivalent of 112billion naira Totalling 851 billion naira. why was the Abacha returned loots shared? Who are the beneficiaries? Why wasn’t the returned and recovered loots used to finance some of the basic social problems like electricity, repairing our refineries and creating jobs for our youths, build a world class hospital that can reduce the travelling expenses of Nigerians travelling abroad for medical treatment?

    Sir, if our hospitals were well equipped, you won’t be involved in foreign trips for medical check ups. When you eventual leave office, which hospital would be standard enough to offer you this services and to other Nigerians? Who are the looters that returned the said amount ? How come they are not facing criminal charges or being jailed? How come politicians alleged with 232 billion naira cases of corruption are working for your re-election? Is it Only those that are with you, that are the presumed saints?
    Your Excellency, our budgets for the last 3 years of your government 2016 (6.07 trillion),2017 (7.298trillion, )2018 ( 9.12 trillion)
    Total 22.488 trillion naira, yet we do not have access to ordinary clean water,with escalated hunger in the land. In 2015, Nigerian was ranked 3rd among the poorest nations index but today in 2018, Nigeria is now ranked number number 1 people living in poverty in world overtaking India .That is why Nigerians are complaining.

Iyabo Ojo, the Nigerian actress, has declared that she will continue to support Omowunmi, the wife of the late singer Mohbad.

Mohbad died on September 12. He was buried the following day. On September 21, the body of the 27-year-old music star was exhumed by the police for autopsy.

The circumstances surrounding his death have continued to stir up controversies, with many pointing accusing fingers at Omowunmi.

In a live session, Ojo emphasized that she will keep supporting Omowunmi until proven guilty with concrete evidence by authorities. She urged others to present evidence to the authorities instead of engaging in speculation.

The actress stressed the importance of awaiting legal judgment, stating that social media should not be used to judge others.

“A lot of people are angry that I’m supporting Wunmi. Until the law proves her guilty, there is concrete evidence that she is guilty I will continue to support her,” she said.

“Why would I want to be wicked to someone else’s child when the law has not found her guilty?

“If they like they should drag, curse me, I will not stop being nice to her. Until the judge says otherwise with evidence, proof beyond every reasonable doubt that she is guilty.

“So if I join to crucify someone’s child when I have mine and tomorrow you all find out that she is innocent. Do you think an apology will repair the damages caused, and take away the emotional trauma?

“It can’t, there are something that apology can’t repair. So we have to be mindful of how we want to destroy someone’s life. I do not make social media judgments, there are laws in the country.

“Also everyone who has said they have evidence, take it to the right authorities and let us see, not side talks.”

Davido, the Afrobeats star, has come under intense criticism on social media for participating in the 2024 US presidential election.

Donald Trump defeated Vice-President Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party on Wednesday to win the US presidential election.

But on Tuesday, Davido shared a photo of himself holding a sticker that reads “I am a Georgian voter. I secured my vote”.

The singer expressed his enthusiasm as a “first-time voter in the US”.

https://twitter.com/davido/status/1853833269558854030?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1853833269558854030%7Ctwgr%5E9bcbfa7ccf08839ff673e9e29dc5642299f412cc%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Flifestyle.thecable.ng%2Fdavido-under-fire-for-participating-in-us-election%2F

However, many Nigerians have called him out for being “hypocritical,” alleging that he never voted in Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election

Some users argued that Davido’s sudden interest in voting in the US election seems like a bid for validation from Americans.

Others defended Davido’s right to vote in the US election, citing his citizenship as a valid reason. They argued that it was his civic duty to participate in the democratic process, regardless of his nationality.

“This guy is a hypocrite, you’ve never voted in any presidential election in Nigeria, but now you’re seeking validation from Americans,” a user wrote.

In another comment, a user added: “When it concerns Nigeria, you will never see them. The only time they are interested is when they can chase clout with it. Yeyebrities.”
