the evil of Barack Obama. No-one listened. In 2011 I warned the world about the
consequences of removing Muammar Gadaffi for Africa and the Middle East . No-one listened. In 2015 I
warned the world and Nigeria about
supporting and electing Muhammadu Buhari as President of our country. No-one

nation-state where the rule of law, the principle of equality and the most
fundamental civil liberties, human rights and basic freedoms for the individual
are guaranteed and respected. Worse still she may NEVER recover.
