Emperor Nero was a Roman ruler. When Christianity was getting very popular in Rome Nero wanted a way to kill all the christians and stop christianity.
What did he do? He set fire on different locations in Rome and got people to testify that it was the christians that set fire on Rome. He got the christians rounded up and sent his soldiers into the catacombs to fish out the christians, and he brought several of them to the amphitheaters and these christians were set bare handed with lions, leopards and other wild animals, and these christians were devoured by these wild beast while the whole of Rome watched them die and was applauding the sight.
The citizens of Rome found a reason for the death of the christians because they were so gullible to believe that the christians burnt down the Roman cities.
In the classic book Animal Farm written by George Orwell, when Napoleon was trying to perpetuate his rule in the animal farm, he came up with this idea that the animals shall build a mill.
He gave the impression that he shall cease from being the ruler after the mill is done. He knew that once the mill is to be constructed, he will remain ruler but cannot continue so after the windmill is completed. So something must be done to keep him and the pigs in power.
What did he do?
Napoleon and his goons, in the nights, destroyed the windmill the animals have built and blamed the destruction of Snowball, the intellectual they chased away. So as long as the animals desired to build another windmill, Napoleon was relevant and the animals came to see Snowball as evil and Napoleon as the Savior.
General Sani Abacha knew that the position he was occupying as president of Nigeria was a usurped position. He knew that the position or office belonged to Moshood Kolawale Abiola who won the June 12 election. Abacha knew that the Yoruba nation was not happy with him for having a seat their son won and that they have formed a group called National Democratic Coalition NADECO to galvanize interest to make him hand over power to Abiola.
What did Abacha do? Abacha employed people to cause bomb to be detonated in different parts of the country and he blamed it on NADECO. Nigerians believed the lie and came to see NADECO as a group of bloodthirsty monsters. Many members of NADECO fled the country and some of those found were arrested while some like Kudirat Abiola were outrightly executed by unknown persons.
Sani Abacha was able to rule Nigeria without much opposition since the people that ought to oppose him had all ran away.
When Goodluck Jonathan was the president of Nigeria and northern Nigeria wanted power, some wise persons came up with a bright idea.
What did they do? They came up with the idea that Boko Haram shall abduct over 200 girls from a school in Chibok, and that they shall make so much noise about this abduction that the whole world shall hear about it and Goodluck Jonathan shall be regarded as an incompetent president not worthy of a second term.
They succeeded and it worked. Many gullible Nigerians bought into that idea and Jonathan was voted out.
When the Senate rejected Magu as EFCC Chairman, someone came up with the bright idea.
What is the idea? Someone came up with the idea of planting money here and there so that the money will be recovered by the EFCC and give the impression that Magu is the best man for the job.
Money was recovered in Kaduna Airport, money was recovered in Lagos market, money was recovered in Ikoyi!
And this last recovered money is mints that is traceable.
One similar and recurrent decimal is that in all these money, nobody knows who kept the money there.
When did Nigerians become so rich as to start abandoning money? How did this type of coincidence happen that within few weeks after Magu's rejection, the EFCC is recovering such abandoned money in consecutive sequence.
How can a whistle blower know where money is but don't know who has been keeping the money there?
The tactics did not start today.
