Let me quickly tell you this true-life story which happened in front of Chatham House when General Muhammadu Buhari visited London few weeks to the 2015 presidential election.I reported the event 'live and direct' on social media from Chatham House on that day.

I witnessed how British police officers formed a ring of protection for Buhari to escape physical attacks from angry Nigerians(mostly pro-Jonah guys from SS/SE). General Buhari 'escaped' from the event in a police van. I begged some Niger-Delta guys who wanted to attack Buhari with fresh eggs.I saw plenty eggs in their bags with my eyes.....ready to attack the old soldier.
Straight to my story:
I attended the event as a news reporter(not as a supporter of any political party).I nearly missed hospital appointment in East London for my son because I attended this event.Something strange happened later....
My notebook suddenly dropped from my back pocket without my knowledge as I struggled to pass through the crowd.It was a pandemonium.This notebook was once used to teach my daughter Mathematics(Addition, subtraction, division & multiplication).
This notebook had PDP logo on the cover and it mistakenly dropped where ultra-Buharists and die-hard APC fanatics gathered in front of Chatham House in central London.
As I was searching for my missing notebook among the crowd because it contained addresses and phone numbers of my friends.I also used it to teach my daughter simple Mathematical calculations.I even wrote my shopping list inside this notebook plus few poems.
I checked the pro-Jonah area, nothing at all, then I moved to the 'turbo-charged' pro-Buhari area. I noticed some APC fanatics gathered in one corner, heads bowed, checking the notebook page by page for evidence of payment.
They suspected it was a notebook for sharing money for pro-Jonathan protesters at the Chatham House event.
The lady who picked the notebook on the floor is Marian Awolowo, die-hard Yoruba Buharist and unrepentant APC loyalist. I approached her as a gentleman that the notebook belong to me and she must release it to me.
Mariam refused to drop it.I begged her to drop my notebook many times.She insisted the notebook was an evidence of payment for pro-Jonathan protesters because she saw some calculations.(Can you imagine this stupid thinking???).
I was boiling with anger inside me.I spoke to some APC guys close to her(Eric Ayoola and others), that we can all go to a corner and check the notebook again, page by page.I told them this is my personal notebook that dropped from my back pocket while struggling to pass through the crowd.
They all laughed at me.I cannot describe this public embarrassment.I did not wish to engage in any violent act to grab my notebook.I just allowed the sleeping dog to lie.I left the scene and my notebook is still with Marian Awolowo till today.
Then suddenly, one of them shouted at me..'Are you not a pro-PDP journalist on social media bla bla....why are you now demanding for your notebook which exposed how you shared PDP money?"
"We are all educated.All the calculations in the notebook were written to teach my daughter simple Mathematics plus my shopping list for the month, please check again with your eyes open.Stop this nonsense for God sake." I exploded.
"Accept the responsibility.This notebook was for sharing money for pro-PDP protesters.We cannot release it to you until our final investigation." Marian Awolowo said that and some of her friends supported this gibberish.
Some of them even tried to physically assault me because I demanded for my notebook.
One APC guy whispered to my ear.."Jagunmolu, don't ever claim that notebook, don't embarrass yourself.That notebook contains names of people who collected money for this Chatham House rally."
"Stop this nonsense for God sake....which notebook you talking about?Have you opened the notebook?This is my daughter's notebook for Mathematics."
"Why you sef carry your daughter notebook to a political rally.You no get your own notebook as a journalist?" The guy responded as if talking to his child.
"Are you the one to tell me the notebook to take to a political rally?"
"I don talk my own finish, save yourself any public embarrassment..all eyes on you now."
"All eyes for what?Are you really okay at all?" I said my final words and left their gathering. I knew Buhari would disappoint all of them.I was 100 % sure.YES.
From that fateful day, I concluded that majority of pro-Buhari supporters in the United Kingdom are under a strong spell, they lack logical reasoning.They are vicious.My heart cursed some of them and I knew Buhari would turn out to be a big scam from May 2015.I am vindicated at last.Don't call me a prophet yet, wait till 2019.
To be continued.
P.S : Where are they today?All the 'Sai Baba' noisemakers of London?Are they all enjoying this CHANGE?Can they tell us the exact location of President Buhari at this moment?When will they apologise to all Nigerians?
