On the one hand, some of you proclaim that Islam is a violent religion/sharia is a violent religion/all muslims are terrorist suicide bombers or potential bombers, On the other hand, you show indignation that US and some other countries are now viewing all Nigerians with suspicion - potential terrorists.

It is called generalization. It is wrong as well as retarded.

Islam is not what makes anyone set out to kill himself and others. At least, find out the facts and stop spewing hearsay. Without meaning to digress the thread, take a pause and look at yourself as a Nigerian ---Extra checks at Airports, numerous visa denials (not new) and let me know if you were asked first whether you are from Northern Nigeria or Southern Nigeria and if you are a muslim or not.

Lyman suggests that rather than continually emphasize Nigeria’s strategic importance, it would behoove us to consider elements that might eventually lead to Nigeria’s irrelevance on the international stage.

the Achebe Colloquium at Brown University on December 11, 2009,
Providence, Rhode Island. [See Notes 1 & 2]

TRANSCRIPT OF SPEECH (TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE VIDEO SPEECH)

Thank you very much Prof. Keller and thanks to the organizers of this
conference. It is such a privilege to be here in a conference in honor
of Prof. Achebe, an inspiration and teacher to all of us.

I have a long connection to Nigeria. Not only was I Ambassador there, I
have travelled to and from Nigeria for a number of years and have a deep
and abiding vital emotional attachment to the Nigerian people, their
magnificence, their courage, artistic brilliance, their irony, sense of
humor in the face of challenges etc.

And I hope that we keep that in mind when I say some things that I think
are counter to what we normally say about Nigeria. And I say that with
all due respect to Eric [SILLA, SEE NOTE 3] who is doing a magnificent
work at State Department and to our good friend from the legislature,
because I have a feeling that we both Nigerians and Americans may be
doing Nigeria and Nigerians no favor by stressing Nigeria's strategic
importance.

I know all the arguments: it is a major oil producer, it is the most
populous country in Africa, it has made major contributions to Africa in
peacekeeping, and of course negatively if Nigeria were to fall apart the
ripple effects would be tremendous, etc, But I wonder if all this
emphasis on Nigeria's importance creates a tendency of inflate Nigeria's
opinion of its own invulnerability.


Among much of the elite today, I have the feeling that there is a belief
that Nigeria is too big to fail, too important to be ignored, and that
Nigerians can go on ignoring some of the most fundamental challenges they
have many of which we have talked about: disgraceful lack of
infrastructure, the growing problems of unemployment, the failure to
deal with the underlying problems in the Niger-Delta, the failure to
consolidate democracy and somehow feel will remain important to everybody because of all those reasons that are strategically important.

And I am not sure that that is helpful.

Let me sort of deconstruct those elements of Nigeria's importance, and ask
whether they are as relevant as they have been.

We often hear that one in five Africans is a Nigerian. What does it mean?
Do we ever say one in five Asians is a Chinese? Chinese power comes not
just for the fact that it has a lot of people but it has harnessed the
enterpreneurial talent and economic capacity and all the other talents
of China to make her a major economic force and political force.

What does it mean that one in five Africans is Nigeria? It does not mean
anything to a Namibian or a South African. It is a kind of conceit.
What makes it important is what is happening to the people of Nigerian.
Are their talents being tapped? Are they becoming an economic force? Is
all that potential being used?

And the answer is "Not really."

And oil, yes, Nigeria is a major oil producer, but Brazil is now
launching a 10-year program that is going to make it one of the major
oil producers in the world. And every other country in Africa is now
beginning to produce oil.

And Angola is rivalling Nigeria in oil production, and the United States
has just discovered a huge gas reserve which is going to replace some of
our dependence on imported energy.

So if you look ahead ten years, is Nigeria really going to be that
relevant as a major oil producer, or just another of another of the many
oil producers while the world moves on to alternative sources of energy
and other sources of supply.

And what about its influence, its contributions to the continent? As our
representative from the parliament talked about, there is a great history
of those contributions. But that is history.

Is Nigeria really playing a major role today in the crisis in Niger on its
border, or in Guinea, or in Darfur, or after many many promises making
any contributions to Somalia?

The answer is no, Nigeria is today NOT making a major impact, on its
region, or on the African Union or on the big problems of Africa that it
was making before.

What about its economic influence?

Well, as we have talked about earlier, there is a de-industrialization
going on in Nigeria a lack of infrastructure, a lack of power means that
with imported goods under globalization, Nigerian factories are closing,
more and more people are becoming unemployed. and Nigeria is becoming a
kind of society that imports and exports and lives off the oil, which
does not make it a significant economic entity.

Now, of course, on the negative side, the collapse of Nigeria would be
enormous, but is that a point to make Nigeria strategically important?


Years ago, I worked for an Assistant Secretary of State who had the
longest tenure in that job in the 1980s and I remember in one meeting a
minister from a country not very friendly to the United States came in and
was berating the Assistant Secretary on all the evils of the United States
and all its dire plots and in things in Africa and was going on and on and
finally the Assistant Secretary cut him off and said:

"You know, the biggest danger for your relationship with the United States is not our oppostion but that we will find you irrelevant."

The point is that Nigeria can become much less relevant to the United
States. We have already seen evidence of it. When President Obama went
to Ghana and not to Nigeria, he was sending a message, that Ghana
symbolized more of the significant trends, issues and importance that one
wants to put on Africa than Nigeria.

And when I was asked by journalists why President Obama did not go to
Nigeria, I said "what would he gain from going? Would Nigeria be a good
model for democracy, would it be a model for good governance, would he
obtain new commitments on Darfur or Somalia or strengthen the African
Union or in Niger or elsewhere?"

No he would not, so he did not go.


And when Secretary Clinton did go, indeed but she also went to Angola and
who would have thought years ago that Angola would be the most stable
country in the Gulf of Guinea and establish a binational commission in
Angola.

So the handwriting may already be on the wall, and that is a sad commentary.

Because what it means is that Nigeria's most important strategic
importance in the end could be that it has failed.

And that is a sad sad conclusion. It does not have to happen, but I think
that we ought to stop talking about what a great country it is, and how
terribly important it is to us and talk about what it would take for
Nigeria to be that important and great.

And that takes an enormous amount of commitment. And you don't need
saints, you don't need leaders like Nelson Mandela in every state,
because you are not going to get them.

I served in South Korea in the middle of the 1960s and it was time when
South Korea was poor and considered hopeless, but it was becoming to turn
around, later to become to every person's amazement then the eleventh
largest economy in the world. And I remember the economist in my mission
saying, you know it did not bother him that the leading elites in the
government of South Korea were taking 15 - 20 percent off the top of
every project, as long as every project was a good one, and that was the
difference. The leadership at the time was determined to solve the
fundamental economic issues of South Korea economy and turn its economy
around.

It has not happened in Nigeria today. You don't need saints. It needs
leaders who say "You know we could be becoming irrelevant, and we got to do something about it."

Thank you.
Comment;-
You can say in your mind, it's a plot and open conspiracy, Yes, TRUE as it may sound, it is working because we NIGERIANS have no clue that we are indeed on a JOURNEY TO AN OBLIVION OF GLOBAL OBSOLESCENCE. Hope it sinks.

Re: Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab Faces Six Count Charges! ! ! by jimmie(m): 11:41pm On Jan 08, 2010
DETROIT – A young Nigerian man, wearing a white T-shirt and tennis shoes, did not speak much Friday during his first public court hearing to face charges of trying to ignite a chemical-laden explosive on a U.S. airliner on Christmas Day.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab gave a one word answer — "yes" — when asked whether he understood the charges against him. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Randon entered a not guilty plea for the 23-year-old, who could face up to life in prison on the most serious charge — attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.

Authorities say the young Nigerian with al-Qaida links was traveling from Amsterdam to Detroit when he tried to destroy the Northwest Airlines plane carrying nearly 300 people by injecting chemicals into a package of explosives concealed in his underwear. The failed attack caused popping sounds and flames that passengers and crew rushed to extinguish.

During his arraignment on Friday that lasted less than five minutes, Abdulmutallab stood at the podium along with Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Tukel and defense attorney Miriam Siefer and answered a few questions in English from the judge.

The longest answer came when the judge asked if he had taken any drugs or alcohol in past 24 hours. Abdulmutallab answered: "some pain pills." Siefer then said he was competent to understand the proceedings. Abdulmutallab, who is being held at a federal prison in Milan, Mich., had been treated at a hospital for burns after the attack.

His attorneys then waived the reading of the indictment, and Randon entered the not guilty plea. It is routine practice in federal court for the defendant to allow the judge to enter a plea on his behalf rather than say anything himself.

President Barack Obama's counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, has said Abdulmutallab would be offered a plea deal in exchange for valuable information about his contacts in Yemen and elsewhere.

After the hearing, one of Abdulmutallab's attorneys, Leroy Soles, declined to talk about the case.

"It's just too soon in the process to make any comment," Soles said.

We should take our future into our hands by rising up against the evil doers of our land. You should know that,public fund stolen are being used to finance useless and senseless adventure. Let's us wake up to the task and fight our own battle. Running away from this war will amount to nothing. Great life with good comfortable is not in absence of war that will shake the shakable. If truly we need to be relevant to the world at large then democracy should give the desired power to the people. But unfortunately, this power is not being used in a way that will better lives for all. We should be insightful about many of the insane acts that our so-called leaders, because the like of Farouks, IBB's kids and so on have added the destiny and time of other Nigerian kids to their spree of foolishness. This is the time,we should wake up and  trouble our trouble rs.

For joining all those that bring shame and disgrace to our country (which include our current corrupt officials), after all don't we Nigerian deserve and reserve the right to punish our own citizens or does America think they were the only one affected by this?. They should extradite him to be tried in Nigeria the way Americans would have wanted it if it were the other way round. HA-BA! which kin hypocrisy b dis? Hey I'm just saying.

12large:

he did not kill anybody so he can never got to jail for life, he will probably claim that he only did that for publicity stunt, besides america is also in fault because his dad warned america about him.
you can't blame a blind man for having a car accident but his guardian that let him drive a car".

Fellow Biafran youths please listen to a message from Voice of Biafra International (VOBI). Let us join hands to save our independent, to save our land, and to save our generations unborn so that when they grow, they will be proud of us. I worked for years as an administrator in Massob before going abroad and have since being using all instruments at my disposal to enlighten our youths about the impending doom that is awaiting us should we fail to act. Every Biafra youth must contribute his/her own quota towards the actualization of Biafra. Every Biafran living the in land of Biafra and in Diaspora should endeavor to obtain the newly launched Biafra Int’l Passport.
It’s good we die as brave men than to die in Nigeria as cowards. Massob spread like a magic, and I was one of the architects. The first answer to Biafra actualization is MOBILIZATION, second is MOBILIZATION, third is MOBILIZATION, many of our youth have not join us in this struggle because they are not well informed or well mobilized. When you are informed then have it as a duty to inform your fellow Biafran, in this you have played your part. Though he/she might argue about our disunity etc, let him/her know that our disunity is caused by Nigeria. Tell him/her that we are the originators of democracy, tell him/her that we are great people, and tell him/her that land case does not go to court in Biafra land; rather we have an in built mechanism to check our excesses. Nigeria holds no future for us all. There is nothing about Nigeria that benefits our people. No value, no benefits at all. Nigeria is already dead and just waiting to be buried. Nigeria has an unwritten constitution which is permanently dust and used only against Biafrans. There fore we cannot leave in a country where corruption is a way of life. Injustice is justice. All evil could be traced at the door of their govt.


{"Employing non-violence, Biafrans have chosen to stay on our own as an independent sovereign state to ascertain the yearnings and aspirations of over forty millions Biafrans"} http://massob.org/     http://biafra.cwis.org/        http://www./

Long live Dim Ojukwu,
Long live Biafran National Guard,
Long live Friends of Biafra
Long live Sovereign Independent Republic of Biafra.
