HUNGER! You’re a huge disappointment to Nigerians, Gani Adams blasts Tinubu
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
In an open letter, Iba Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, has voiced his disappointment with President Bola Tinubu’s administration, linking his style of government to that of Adolf Hitler in 1930s Germany.
The letter, dated September 10, 2024, expresses deep concern over what Adams described as a sharp decline in living standards, worsened by the administration’s controversial economic reforms, particularly the removal of fuel subsidies and the accompanying spike in fuel prices.
Addressing Tinubu directly, Adams wrote, “Mr. President, to say the truth without minding whose ox is gored, you have really disappointed many Nigerians who thought you were the messiah they were waiting for.”
He referred to the drastic rise in fuel prices, noting that when Tinubu assumed office in May 2023, “the price of a litre of fuel was less than N200. Today, it is more than N1000.”
Adams, a respected Yoruba leader and social activist, criticised the role of Tinubu’s economic team, particularly Finance Minister Wale Edun and Central Bank Governor Yemi Cardoso, both of whom had been close advisers to Tinubu during his time as Governor of Lagos State.
“What exactly are the fiscal, economic and financial briefings they give you daily to convince you that they know what they are doing in those two offices?” Adams questioned.
The letter also drew attention to the worsening security situation in the country, which Adams said had failed to improve since Tinubu took office, despite widespread hopes that it would.
“Pitiably today, from the North to the South, East to the West, the rate at which Nigerians are being abducted and some killed…is as if these blood-thirsty maniacs have just been unleashed on Nigerians from the hottest part of hell,” Adams lamented.
Expressing frustration over the administration’s response to growing public dissatisfaction, Adams accused the government of repressing protests and stifling dissent.
He questioned the arrest and charges of treason leveled against demonstrators, stating, “In the comity of nations, who does that? Is that the way governments are overthrown, with placards?”
Adams did not shy away from describing the current economic policies as draconian, particularly the decision by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to hike fuel prices.
He described the move as “an attack on Nigerians,” adding, “Your administration is becoming indifferent, insensitive, and unresponsive to the plights of millions of Nigerians who can no longer meet their daily needs.”
The Aare Ona Kakanfo also made historical comparisons, drawing parallels between Tinubu’s current leadership style and that of Adolf Hitler in 1930s Germany.
Adams warned that increasing repression and economic mismanagement could lead to widespread unrest.
“The Fuhrer crushed political opposition, destroyed the economy, and ultimately undermined Germany’s democratic structures. When Hitler became history on April 30, 1945, Germany was in total ruins,” he wrote, adding ominously, “I hope I am wrong, but I see a linkage between what happened during the ascendancy of Hitler into power and what is happening in Nigeria today.”
Adams urged the president to reconsider his economic policies, particularly the removal of fuel subsidies, which have led to a steep rise in the cost of living.

Man walking from Ibadan to Abuja to Meet Tinubu Stranded, Begs for Help
A young man known as Mr. Nigeria101, who embarked on an ambitious mission to trek from Ibadan to Abuja since December 1, 2024, has issued a heartfelt plea for assistance after becoming stranded.
His journey, which he described as a demonstration of loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is aimed at delivering a letter he claims represents the collective voices and concerns of Nigerian youths. Despite reportedly covering over 600 kilometers, his efforts have gone largely unnoticed by both the government and the public.
In a series of emotional videos shared on his TikTok account, Mr. Nigeria101 detailed his struggles and called on Nigerians for help. The videos, which have since garnered significant attention, reveal the extent of his frustration and exhaustion.
Speaking directly to the camera, he said:
“Nigerians, please come to my aid. I need your support. Have mercy on me. I have been on this trekking mission since December 1st last year from Ibadan to Abuja to meet Mr. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to read out this message to him that Nigerians are suffering.
Nobody wants to attend to me; nobody wants to pay attention to me. I have trekked to the extent that my spirit has almost left my body.”
The young man’s plight has drawn mixed reactions, with some applauding his determination while others question the effectiveness of such actions in addressing Nigeria’s challenges.
Mr. Nigeria101’s journey has taken a more desperate turn as he vows to continue his trek to Abuja, even if it means wandering indefinitely or sacrificing his life. He has expressed his intention to protest until President Tinubu acknowledges his efforts and the message he carries on behalf of struggling Nigerians.
The contents of the letter, according to him, highlight the difficulties faced by ordinary citizens, particularly the youth, amid the prevailing economic hardships in the country.
Observers note that his actions reflect the growing frustration among young Nigerians, who often feel unheard and overlooked by those in power. Whether his efforts will result in an audience with the President remains uncertain, but his story has sparked conversations about the lengths citizens are willing to go to make their voices heard.A determined young man known as Mr. Nigeria101, who embarked on an ambitious mission to trek from Ibadan to Abuja since December 1, 2024, has issued a heartfelt plea for assistance after becoming stranded.

Dunamis Healing Miracles Are Not Authentic -Former Pastor Alleges
Ex-Dunamis International Gospel Centre (DIGC) pastor, Abraham Daniel, has alleged that the miracles performed by the Senior Pastor, Paul Enenche, the church’s leader, are not genuine.
In an interview with Kaa Truths, Daniel disclosed his reasons for leaving the church, citing frustration over what he described as the church’s flawed approach to “healing and deliverance.”
He said after every healing and deliverance service, they often have more people seeking healing than those who initially attended for it.
He likened the atmosphere during the services to a high-pressure situation, comparing it to the chaos of a stadium crowd reacting to the presence of a dangerous animal.
“When people see the crowd, they do the unthinkable. It’s like hearing there’s a lion nearby; even a crippled might jump the fence,” he said.
He further explained that the massive crowds at Dunamis services often compel people to act out of desperation.
He said, “I would tell you that healing is capital no. And it is with due respect to him and to Dunamis Church, I have nothing to lose or gain. The miracles are not real, they don’t happen.
“Let let me tell you give you an instance. One major reason why I left is the frustration I had. After healing and deliverance service, we have more people that need healing than people that came for healing. I don’t know whether you got me.”
Abraham said, “The healing service, you see people still want to see daddy for prayer. People are frustrated. You could see frustration.
“And as a pastor, you know, because when daddy has gone, the Wahala now is left for us because they have to meet us. Oh, pastor, please, I need to see daddy. I brought this person. I brought that person. And people, oh, I’m like, ho? Where do I start from? Like, you could see pain.”
He said, “You see, let me tell you something. When you’re on the stage it’s different from reality.
“When you are in a crowded atmosphere charged with, you know, you know, disco light and bang bang bang or the music is slow, your emotion is being tapped into. It’s different ball game on when the lights are off and you have to face reality.”
He said, “There’s what I call environmental influence. For instance, if you are aware of BurnaBoy or Davido or Michael Jackson is doing event and, and, maybe you had malaria or, maybe headache.”
According to Abraham, “You could go away with the dance. You won’t even remember you had headache. But when everyone has gone, this thing dey disturb me. That is when reality comes.
“Or maybe you are in a stadium and they said a tiger is here. If you’re not careful, a crippled will jump the fence. A crippled will jump the fence. A tiger is here or a lion is here.
“People will do the what the unthinkable. Now that is what I call the environmental effect,” Abraham added.
Recall the latest update, that the Force Intelligence Department of the Nigerian police has released Alex Enenche, the younger brother of Pastor Paul Enenche, and Abraham Daniel, a former pastor at Dunamis Church, on bail.
Alex Enenche and Daniel were arrested and detained on January 7, 2025, but were released the following day (Wednesday) after an agreement was reached to resolve the matter amicably.
Alex Enenche and Abraham Daniel were instructed to report back to the Force Intelligence Department (FID) on Friday, January 10, 2025, and Monday, January 13, 2025.
SaharaReporters reported on Tuesday that FID had detained Daniel and Alexander Eneche, following their appearance at the department in response to a police invitation.
They were accused of cyberbullying and criminal defamation against Pastor Paul Enenche, the founder and Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Abuja.
This development came after Pastor Daniel publicly accused Pastor Enenche of reneging on a gentleman’s agreement between them.
Barrister Ernest Okpaga, the legal representative of the detained individuals, told SaharaReporters that his clients were detained after honouring the police invitation.
He explained that they arrived at the FID office at 1 pm on Tuesday, only to have their statements taken after hours of waiting, around 8 pm, and subsequently detained without explanation.
“No clear reason has been given for their detention, even though they cooperated fully with the police,” Okpaga stated.
In a previous report, SaharaReporters revealed that family members of Pastor Daniel and Alexander Eneche had expressed concerns about their whereabouts after they responded to a police invitation.
However, sources close to the matter later informed SaharaReporters that the two individuals were still in police custody, leaving their family members worried and uncertain about their fate.
Meanwhile, in the invitation letters sent to Daniel and Alexander Enenche, dated January 3, 2025, the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Force Intelligence Department (FID), Abuja, invited them to report to the department for questioning.
