baba gej misses the limelight and power.... Nigeria: I Wanted to Hide for One Year - Goodluck Jonathan Daily Trust, 24 September 2015 http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/politics/ Former President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday revealed that he had gone into hiding soon after he handed over power following his loss in the general election https://allafrica.com/download/pic/main/main/csiid/00291612:4bb9ad57686aa2c898ab1294701743d1:arc614x376:w614:us1.jpg By Kehinde Akinyemi Abeokuta — Former President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday revealed that he had gone into hiding soon after he handed over power following his loss in the general election. He said he had intended to remain in hiding for 12 months until when the death of one of Nigeria's famous women forced him to come out. Since Jonathan lost to President Muhammadu Buhari, he was only seen in public gathering once, when he showed up at a campaign rally for Governor Seriaka Dickson in his native Bayelsa State. The former president spoke when he paid a condolence visit to Ikenne over the death of Madam Hannah Idowu Dideolu, wife of late premier of the Western Region, Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Jonathan said: "We, just like the immediate children, and indeed this country, have missed her. Within this period, myself and my wife had been hiding; we didn't go out. "We thought would be hiding for at least twelve months. But in this particular case, we cannot hide. So, we've come for the condolence and to encourage our brothers and sisters that we are together. Jonathan then went on to praise her qualities: "... "Before, I had been here severally to see mama in one way or the other. We are mourning her today; me and my wife, we are not mourning because mama has passed on. "For me, we believe that it's a rare privilege to add extra 29 years to the biblical two scores and ten; it's not easy. "Ordinarily, we wouldn't have been mourning but mama was a rare mother. She was a woman of virtue as described in the bible. "... And she was a mother to all of us; a mother that her milk of kindness we still need, her milk of encouragement we still need, her milk of advice we still need and today she's no more with us. "God brought her for all of us. She just had to be the direct mother of a few but she was a mother to all. We shall mourn more than even the direct children would. The former president visited with his wife, Patience, former leader of the House of Representatives, Mulikat Adeola, former governor of Ogun State, Gbenga Daniel and Jide Adeniji, the former chairman of FERMA. |

kudos to l boggie for reaching out to the masses in the struggle. i know she feels blessed to be in the motherland. Zion's granddad, Bob Marley was the contemporary of Fela Bob Marley, Fela Kuti and Pan-African Protest Music Looking for Bob Marley and Fela Kuti Music as a Weapon of Protest By Alemayehu G. Mariam It is said that “music is a universal language.” Using a few notes and inspiring lyrics, musicians and song writers have waged relentless battles against the perpetrators of tyranny, oppression, inequality and injustice. Music is a divine language that can pierce through the stony walls of hatred in the heart, the irrationality and fallacies of the mind and the darkness of the spirit. Musicians and songwriters have used their lyrics and melodies to defend and uplift the downtrodden, the exploited, the oppressed, the needy, the persecuted and subjugated. They have pumped up the volume against colonialism, racism, tribalism, imperialism, capitalism, communism, socialism, fascism, totalitarianism, individualism, militarism, sexism, adventurism, fatalism, hedonism, materialism, nihilism, pessimism, statism, corporatism and whatever else is left out. Where have Bob Marely, Fela Kuti,…. gone? https://ecadforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Bob-Marley-and-Fela-Kuti.jpg Jamaican Bob Marley used reggae music not just for entertainment, but to teach, preach and reach people’s minds, hearts and spirits the world over. He used his music and lyrics to promote love, understanding and tolerance while confronting racism, inequality and injustice with a defiant message. Marley sang about the struggles of black people in Babylon (The West) and the need for Pan-African unity to overcome oppression. As a member of the Rastafari movement, he deified H.I. M. Haile Selassie and saw Africa as “Zion”, the place of unity, peace and freedom. His message for Africans was unmistakable: “Africa, Unite/’Cause we’re moving right out of Babylon/And we’re going to our father’s land/…/ So, Africa, Unite, Africa, Unite/Unite for the benefit of your people/…/. He urged those suffering oppression to “Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!/…/Get up, stand up: don’t give up the fight!/…/Most people think,/Great god will come from the skies,/Take away everything/And make everybody feel high./But if you know what life is worth,/You will look for yours on earth:/And now you see the light,/You stand up for your rights. jah!” African liberation from colonialism and Western exploitation was Marley’s foremost concern: “Zimbabwe./Every man gotta right/To decide his own destiny/…/So arm in arms, with arms/We will fight this little struggle/’Cause that’s the only way/We can overcome our little trouble/ Brother you’re right, you’re right/You’re right, you’re right, you’re so right/We gonna fight, we’ll have to fight/We gonna fight, fight for our rights/Natty dread it ina Zimbabwe/Set it up… Mash it up ina Zimbabwe/Africans a liberate Zimbabwe.” (If Bob Marley knew what Bob Mugabe had done to Zimbabwe today, he’d spin in his grave.) Marley took part of a 1963 speech by H.I.M. Haile Selassie and made it a powerful song against war: “Until the philosophy which hold one race/Superior and another inferior/Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned/Everywhere is war, me say war/That until there are no longer first class/And second class citizens of any nation/Until the colour of a man’s skin/Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes/Me say war/That until the basic human rights are equally/Guaranteed to all, without regard to race/Dis a war/That until that day/The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship/Rule of international morality/Will remain in but a fleeting illusion/To be pursued, but never attained/Now everywhere is war, war/…/ Marley understood the daily struggle of the poor to find enough food to eat: “Them belly full but we hungry./A hungry mob is a angry mob./A rain a-fall but the dirt it tough;/A pot a-cook but the food no ‘nough./You’re gonna dance to JAH music, dance./…/ Cost of living get so high,/Rich and poor, they start a cry./Now the weak must get strong./They say, “Oh, what a tribulation.” In “Who the Cap Fit”, Marley warned against hypocrisy and duplicity in everyday relations: “Man to man is so unjust, children/You don’t know who to trust/Your worst enemy could be your best friend/And your best friend your worst enemy/Some will eat and drink with you/Then behind them su-su ‘pon you/Only your friend know your secrets/So only he could reveal it/And who the cap fit, let them wear it/…/Some will hate you,/Pretend they love you now/Then behind they try to eliminate you/But who Jah bless,/No one curse/Thank God we’re past the worse.” Nigerian songwriter, singer and musician Fela Anikulapo Kuti was an equally talented and inspiring musical innovator and political advocate. He was inspired by the protest songs and political upheavals in the U.S. in the 1960s. For three decades, Fela became the musical voice of Nigeria’s poor, downtrodden, unemployed and marginalized. He sang about the abject conditions of existence in one of the richest African countries. His “Afrobeat” music was a combination of blues, funk, jazz and African rhythms. His lyrics are in pidgin English (“broken English”) and local languages. He relentlessly criticized government corruption, multi-national corporations, and police brutality in Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa. He used music as a weapon to promote human rights, good governance, accountability and transparency in Nigeria and the rest of Africa. In “Zombie”, Fela criticized Nigeria’s military as a bunch of mindless brutes who follow orders to shoot, kill and plunder: “Zombie no go go, unless you tell am to go/Zombie no go stop, unless you tell am to stop/…unless you tell am to turn/… unless you tell am to think/… Go and kill!/Go and die!../Joro, jaro, joro../ (Zombie)”. In “Authority Stealing”, Fela compared the Nigerian kleptocrats to armed robbers for stealing the nation’s resources to enrich themselves using their “magic pens”. “Authority people them go dey steal/Public contribute plenty money/…/Authority man no dey pickpocket/…/Armed robber him need gun/Authority man him need pen/Authority man in charge of money/Him no need gun, him need pen/Pen got power gun no get/If gun steal eighty thousand naira/Pen go steal two billion naira/Thief, thief, thief!” http://ecadforum.com/2011/01/10/bob-marley-fela-kuti-and-pan-african-protest-music/ |
well worth reading, studying, and analyzing to keep 9ja out of the fray! Washington's financial/currency war on China and the Yuan's eclipse of the US dollar Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya Strategic Culture Foundation Sun, 30 Aug 2015 00:00 UTC https://www.sott.net/image/s13/264121/large/dollar_vs_yuan.jpg © financesonline.com Dueling currencies, the eagle versus the dragon. The Chinese are in the process of displacing the monopoly of the US dollar. They are dropping their US Treasury bonds, stockpiling gold reserves, and opening regional distribution banks for their own national currency. This will give them easier access to capital markets and insulate them from financial manipulation by Washington and Wall Street. Fearing the eclipsing of the US dollar and the Bretton Woods system by a rival financial architecture the US response has been an attempt to damage the Chinese markets and increase the value of China's currency. China has responded through regulations in the market and then quantitative easing of its currency to maintain the low prices of Chinese manufactured goods and exports. Beijing's quantitative easing is a reaction or response to the financial manipulation of Washington and Wall Street. Additionally, Washington never thought that the Chinese would respond by dumping US Treasury bonds. Instead of the hysteria about the Chinese economy, "the impending collapse of the US dollar should be getting all of the attention of investors," one US economist (Peter Schiff) has warned. Schiff's voice is one of many analysts saying that the talk about the Chinese economy faltering is exaggerated and bad spirited. Financial War against China, Russia: America's War against the "Community of Destiny" As the financial architecture of the world is being altered by China and Russia, the US dollar is gradually being neutralized as one of Washington's weapon of choice. Even the monopoly of Washington's Bretton Woods system formed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank is being directly challenged. Although they do not constitute alternatives to neoliberal economics, the BRICS News Development Bank (NDB) and Beijing's Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) are challenging the Bretton Woods system through a rival financial structure. The US Empire has been cognizant of the moves to establish a rival financial order. Policymakers in the Washington Beltway, the Pentagon, and Wall Street all watched the dual summits of the BRICS and Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the Russian city of Ufa with concern. Up to that point, they had been waging an information/propaganda, energy, financial market, currency war, and general economic war against the Russian Federation. Post-Ufa, they extended the financial market and economic war to China. Banks and governments in the European Union had been considering and examining the use of China's national currency, renminbi/yuan, as a reserve currency. This was because of attractiveness of the stability of renminbi as a currency. This had Washington and Wall Street worried and was one of the factors that resulted in the expansion of the currency and financial war on Russia to China. Using speculation as a psychological weapon and market manipulation, the US launched a financial strike against the Chinese. This was done through an attempt to sink or crash the Chinese stock market and hurt investor confidence in the Chinese economy and its stocks. Beijing, however, reacted quickly by imposing controls on investment withdrawals. This prevented the snowballing of stock selloffs and defused the US financial bomb. As the price of renminbi began to rise Beijing began quantitative easing to devalue its national currency as a means of continuing export trade. The US Congress and White House began to loudly object. They accused the Chinese of financial manipulation and demanded that Beijing do nothing to readjust the value of the renminbi. What the folks in the Washington Beltway wanted was for the Chinese to let the value of the renminbi to rise as a means of disrupting China's economy and market. The Chinese Dragon Strikes Back: Beijing Liquidates its US Bonds Push China and it will push back. The buck (or, more properly, renminbi/yuan) did not stop with the introduction of regulations by Beijing. China took steps that shocked Wall Street and put Washington on notice. As US financial institutions began trying to hurt investor confidence in China through psychological tactics claiming that the Chinese economy was slowing down and that the Chinese market was in freefall, Beijing announced that it had bought 600 tons of gold in the span of a month and the People's Bank of China had got rid of over 17 billion US dollars from its foreign exchange reserves. China's foreign exchange reserves — excluding the foreign reserves of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Macau Special Administrative Region — were 3.71 trillion (37,111,430 million) US dollars in May 2015. They had dropped to 3.69 trillion (36,938,380 million) US dollars by June 2015. The financial market webpage Zero Hedge, which had been following this development, explained what it had discovered was taking place: "We then put China's change in FX reserves alongside the total Treasury holdings of China and its 'anonymous' offshore Treasury dealer Euroclear (aka 'Belgium') as released by TIC, and found that the dramatic relationship which we first discovered back in May, has persisted — namely virtually the entire delta in Chinese FX reserves come via China's US Treasury holdings." The main point here was that China's US Treasury bonds "are being aggressively sold, to the tune of $107 billion in Treasury sales so far in 2015."By following China's financial transactions in Belgium, Zero Hedge had actually calculated thatBeijing had dropped 143 billion US dollars in three months. A few months later, in August, the Chinese dropped 100 billion US dollars worth of US Treasury bonds in the span of two weeks. A day later, on August 27, Bloomberg corroborated what Zero Hedge had identified. A Bloomberg report explained the following: "The People's Bank of China has been offloading dollars and buying yuan to support the exchange rate, a policy that's contributed to a $315 billion drop in its foreign-exchange reserves over the last 12 months. The $3.65 trillion stockpile will fall by some $40 billion a month in the remainder of 2015 because of the intervention, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey." While the Bloomberg emphasized that the Chinese were using US dollars to buy their own national currency, it casually mentioned, "Strategically, it probably has been China's intention to find the right time to lighten up its excessive accumulation of U.S. Treasuries," citing an economist at Reorient Financial Markets Limited in Hong Kong. The Eclipsing of the US Dollar by the Chinese Renminbi Wall Street should be worried about the economic problems at home in the US instead of trying to undermine China. The talk about the slowing down of the Chinese economy in part is distraction. It diverts attention from the decline of the US and is meant to enforce the efforts of Washington and Wall Street to rein in Beijing. The Chinese, however, continue to move forward undeterred. Beijing selected Qatar as its first renminbi clearing house in the Middle East and North Africa for regional exchange markets there in April 2015. The name of this clearing house is the Qatar Renminbi Centre. It will circumvent US financial structures and give greater access to oil and natural gas from the Middle East and North Africa to the People's Republic of China. Despite the wishes of Wall Street and Washington, the Silk World Order is moving forward. Comment: Is the dollar in immediate jeopardy of losing its world prominence to the yuan? Most central banks in other countries hold a lot of dollars Federal Reserve Notes for the capital market. The yuan is not among the next top four reserve currencies (euro, yen, pound sterling, Swiss franc). However, in its favor is the future for a number of reasons: Americans are getting poorer while Chinese are getting richer; Chinese middle class will be four times larger than the American counterpart; the Yuan is already being traded with Australia and Japan snubbing the dollar; China's total trade in goods has surpassed the US in face value; the US home market is 310 million persons while China is a burgeoning 1.3 billion consumers. Short story: The USA prints all the money it needs to remain dominant. It is backed by nothing. "Nothing" can't remain in charge. http://www.sott.net/article/300848-Washingtons-financial-currency-war-on-China-and-the-Yuans-eclipse-of-the-US-dollar |
