You don`t have to be religious to know that there is more to our lives than meet the eye. Therefore, a day like this makes it necessary to give thanks to God for all the Nigerians that didn`t just go abroad, but understand the world. My happiest moments come when I read those Nigerians here calling it the way it is. Sadly, if we talk percentages, only 1% of Nigerians fall into this category. The Mail Group, The Telegraph and The Sun of London never have anything good to say about Nigeria and Nigerians, but this time around, the Mail Newspaper is serialising a book written by one of them. So this is more about the need to demonise a pro-Europe Tony Blair that Daily Mail has always seen as corrupt and greedy than deliberately present a Nigerian leader in good light It`s nice because the only thing our people trust and believe is what comes from the white man, so is good that what we have been saying since joining Nairaland are being confirmed The picture of Buhari that was portrayed in this piece is that of the man we all knew in his first coming in the 80s. However, I said when he went to meet his G7 in Germany with what he called his shopping list that, he had committed a serious blunder. The rest is history Let me use this opportunity to tell all young students of Government and Politics two things The West has been using the mass media for the demonisation of Africa for centuries. Nigeria and Nigerians are the worst hit. Until you live abroad you can`t believe this, but to the white man, the mass media is an instrument of war, and they have been able to win that war. Mention Nigeria and make sure crime, dishonesty and corruption is all that you talk about. Do that for 50 years, what you get is a hated and endangered entity. Now, what should have been the reaction of the continent or country treated like this? That is the question I want the younger ones to go and think about. The second issue is going to define the Nigeria of the future. I said it on the day Buhari was sworn in that, what Buhari is going to do for Nigeria is not what Nigerians are thinking. As at that time, I didn`t know that Buhari would be this disappointing. What I thought was that we would get the Buhari of the 80s, so by the time he left office, Nigerians would be saying, Nigeria has been run by a true leader, but yet we have nothing to show for democracy. Before Buhari, no-one had been President in Nigeria that you can call a natural born leader, so Nigerians have every reason to believe that bad leaders are the problem. With Buhari, Nigerians would have seen that, the problem is not necessarily about leadership. For the first time in the history of this country, the intelligent ones among us would begin to question the full meaning of democracy. To help those that are younger than me, I say that there is nothing call democracy. what the West want through what they call democracy is the stabilization of your country for western exploitation. What that means is that, you have acceptable democracy if every segment of the society is corrupt, people are dying from hunger, elections are never free,security is nowhere to be found, but notwithstanding all of the above your president is handing over the economy to the west- through privatization and liberalization- and legalizing gay marriage. As long as the president is doing the last two, the West would describe you as a democratic government. So democracy is not the same as good government. Young and old need to start to use our brain to think about what additions and substractions African countries have to make before we can have good government. That is the job after Buhari. May God protect the few chosen ones that would do this unique job for Nigeria. I think I would be going on holiday for one or two days. Peace 2 Likes 1 Share |

ATERI:I agree with you. But the part where you make it look as if whites are the problem of Nigeria /Africa is a hard pill for me to swallow... I think it's the greed,hate and unquenchable thirst for a black man to Lord over a fellow Blackman is the reason not white people.. If black man loves his fellow man he wont be used...but then black man loves to blame others for his mistakes and shortcomings... Even the current worshipped President/leader never took responsibility for disasters under his watch..he will prefer to blame others...so he can appear smelling like rose. |

gsalvatore: You make solid points but I disagree that the black man is entirely to blame for all his problems, some of the issues Africa suffers today can be traced to the intervention of white people. However, what bothers me more today is the inability for us to learn from these issues, I worry that Europe and America must be holding so much blackmail or military threats over our heads that we just cave in. |

But having charmed the president and — in the words of Jonathan’s staff — satisfied his ego, Blair then introduced him to J.P. Morgan chief Jamie Dimon. Goodluck Jonathan is an infinite thief, the devil himself knows that |

Acjohn: nawa oh. So d west are responsible for d problems in Nigeria, insecurity, coruption, rise in dollar and bad leadership? The west are in d National Assembly or Aso rock. They are talking abt a business man doing his biz and also being employed by some leaders to do certain thing 4 them. How is it my concern if he bridged or accomplished d agreement? Is it only Blair that can do such contract, what do they see in him b4 they employed him and d court is available where he can be sued if they think he engages in any corruption. All I know is that Nig problems is within Nigeria. Since when have we gotten independence? When some people are even saying we got independence earlier than we should and that we are still young, imature and inexperience to rule as at d time we got independence. We are our owe problems and not d west. |

Tony "Conman" Blair is one of the most revolting, repulsive, repugnant and repellent politician ever in the eyes of most British people. They feel he has turned the UK to the laughing stock of the western world. That he has weakened the country and turned it to the dumping ground for the trashiest individuals, scu.m of the earth and worst of humanity that have exploited the system to live in a western country undisturbed. That he has turned the UK into a puppet of Brussels just like he was a puppet of George Bush. That The UK due to its benefits culture, ridiculous human right laws and absurd health and safety laws - otherwise, popularly mocked as "elf and safety" - has become soft and allowed the likes of Abu Qatada; Abu Hamza; uneducated and unqualified eastern Europeans with criminal tendencies; British born Muslims of Asian ancestry who have stubbornly refused to fully imbibe the British culture and way of life and all sorts, unfettered access into the country and even worse, hard to kick them out - no thanks to the multicultarism and human rights agenda that he and his Labour party so aggressively pushed. They suspect that the only reason he is advocating that the UK stays in the EU is for selfish reason with such providing an opportunity for him to seek the presidency of the union - and further add to his and his wife's ever increasing portfolio and wealth. The British see through his smokescreen and see him for what he truly is - lying, conniving, opportunistic fella. Wonder how many Africans do? 1 Like |

Zoharariel: Honestly, you said it all. Some people may not understand Nigeria has no future if we continue to follow the west and the main stream media is not helping matters at all.. They are the real super pro-western media and in 2016, it's even sad that Nigeria does not have something like CCTV, RT or even this Iranian news media exporting its independent point of view to the rest of the world. This is because the main stream media does is copy, rewrite and paste from the Western media and Nigerians continue to be backward. You are right about GEJ.. Initially I thought he knew what to do but he was too scared to do it. He could have done everything the right way,just the same way he successfully looted the economy. also if you are a leader that listens to everyone without having your own stand, your are not a leader and I agree with you that even common local government chairman should not be contested. But Nigeria has always been about someone dragging you into Politics and turn you to his boy is the fortunate case of GEJ that was dragged into Politics by Alameisihia and see what he did to him. Gave him freedom. Tinubu is the father of dragging people into it and turning them into his personal Puppets.. This honestly won't take the country to anywhere. Nigeria's case again has been stock in the era of Russia during the 1990s. During the Era of Yeltsin where the country was looted by the west because they were trying to be liberals.. ...Nigeria and all African Nations Need A President Like Putin ? - See more at: http://ooduarere.com/news-from-nigeria/world-news/nigeria-and-all-african-nations-need-a-president-like-putin Nigeria's future is India, Latin America, Africa, Russia and China. Until we realize our beautiful earth and our existence depend on these civilizations, until then we shall move forward and develop at a speedy rate per annum.. if not, we will continue to revolve in this vicious circle. 2 Likes 1 Share |

scully95:One thing i do know about Buhari is that, he can never been taken for a sucker. He just won't allow it. He is a strong nationalist, and that's exactly what this nation need at the moment. But just watch it. The western media will soon turn on him by the time he start working against their policies down here. You need to see the reaction of the EU when Nigeria banned some of their agricultural products. The reaction was in deed, a cloaked warning. The alarm has been rung. Play ball or get played about. They are comming for him soon, but i expect him to scale through. 2 Likes 1 Share |
