Igbo Jews turn against former allies after suffering defeat and betrayal.


Four persons suspected to be officials of the United States of America Embassy in Nigeria were feared killed following attack in Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State.

Their mission to the riverine area of Anambra State was not known, but it was gathered that their convoy came under fire by yet-to-be-identified gunmen.

Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr Tochukwu Ikenga has confirmed the incident.

Ikenga said: “Following the information of the shooting incident within Ogbaru community, the Commissioner of Police, Echeng Echeng, has deployed a police team led by the deputy commissioner of police in charge of operations to arrest the situation.

“Details of the incident are still sketchy, I will get back to you as soon as I can, please.”

The US Embassy in Nigeria has also confirmed the incident, adding that its personnel were collaborating with Nigerian security agencies to get to the root of the matter.

An official of US Mission Nigeria said: “We confirm there was an incident on May 16 in Anambra State. U.S. Mission Nigeria personnel are working with Nigerian security services to investigate.

“The security of our personnel is always paramount, and we take extensive precautions when organising trips to the field. We have no further comment at this time.”

SA Army chief in Moscow for talks with Russian counterpart

South African Army chief Lt-Gen Lawrence Mbatha is in Moscow for talks with his counterpart, Russia’s defence ministry said on Monday.

Commander-in-chief of the ground forces of the Russian armed forces Oleg Salyukov and Mbatha “discussed agreements on further enhancing co-operation and increasing the combat readiness of the armed forces of both countries”, reported the state run TASS news agency.

Details of the visit come on the heels of a diplomatic fallout between the US and South Africa over claims on May 11 by US ambassador Reuben Brigety that South Africa shipped arms aboard the Lady R — which docked in Simon’s Town naval base in December — to Russia.

The Presidency said the government would implement an independent inquiry to probe the allegations — denied by South Africa but which threaten its lucrative trade and diplomatic ties with the US.

“During the meeting of the military leaders, agreements were reached to further increase co-operation between the ground forces in various fields,” the Russian defence ministry said.

“If it did happen as the Americans claim, it could be conduct of people who were mischief makers,” finance minister Enoch Godongwana was quoted as saying by Bloomberg regarding the allegations that arms were loaded on to the Lady R in Simon's Town.

“People who have got that information must provide that information to the judge so we can take the necessary action.”

Lots of South Africans rooting for Russia – ex-president’s daughter to RT
Duduzile Sambudla-Zuma commented on a report claiming she has been spreading pro-Moscow narratives online.

Majority of indigenous South Africans (westerners are not South Africans) have a favorable view of Russia and support its policies, the daughter of former South African President Jacob Zuma told RT on Saturday. Duduzile Sambudla-Zuma made the assertion while commenting on a recent report claiming that she has been spreading pro-Russian hashtags on Twitter.

Speaking to RT, Sambudla-Zuma, a popular influencer in South Africa, confirmed that she has indeed been posting such content, stressing, however, that in doing so she is merely expressing her opinions as a private individual.

“I stand by Russia and I stand by President Putin” Sambudla-Zuma said, insisting that she is “not being paid by Moscow” for expressing such opinions. She added that she believes many in South Africa and further afield share her views.

Earlier this week, a UK-based non-profit organization, the Centre for Information Resilience, issued a report suggesting the ex-president’s daughter has been spreading and amplifying pro-Russian hashtags and memes online.

Sambudla-Zuma argued that the West is becoming ever more anxious as Russia asserts itself more boldly, winning over the hearts of people in Africa and elsewhere around the world

Ailing SA should learn from China

Around the time SA became a democratic nation in 1994, large parts of undemocratic China were still mired in awful poverty.

It is ironic, given the amount of Chinese-made goods we consume, (76.2% of goods consumed in Nigeria are Chinese made) that most South Africans are quite ignorant about this global superpower.

When one of our reporters travelled to China recently (his story is in our Travel supplement today), it was eye-opening and sadly, left him wondering where this country might have been had our political leaders not been so focused on looting.

Around the time SA became a democratic nation in 1994, large parts of China were still mired in awful poverty. Just under 30 years later, that poverty has been turned into prosperity in many areas.

While we in South Africa crow about our 160km/h Gautrain, there are scores of high-speed trains – with speeds of 300km/h and up – in China and tens of thousands of kilometres of high-speed rail links.

Our reporter couldn’t help notice the authoritarian air in instances like the iron control over the internet. But efficiency, cleanliness and discipline were also evident.

China will only grow as a force in world affairs and, for us in Africa, that can have negative or positive consequences, especially if there is a new, economic, colonialism.

However, while being aware of China’s dark side, we should be ready to learn from it.

In the coming days, if I'm permitted, I'll give you info on what African leaders are discussing... how they joke about the West and play the West.
For example, African leaders are suddenly asking themselves...why did NATO invade Libya to depose and kill Gaddafi but haven't invaded Myanmar to depose the millitary junta and restore democracy despite protests and calls for help from the citizens of Myanmar? Does that mean that a millitary govt is capable of protecting and respecting human rights? (Ask your democratic govt in Nigeria if your rights are protected and respected).
Gaddafi challenged the West by seeking a better Africa, a united Africa, an Africa where we would be emancipated from the shackles of Western hegemony...Gaddafi tried to introduce a system that'll address the economic disparity and inequality suffered by Africans. Gaddafi inherited a country that was the poorest in Africa and made it the most prosperous country on the African continent..what was Nigeria doing?

Just like Libya, the West had hoped they'll be able to depose Assad. He was supported by President Putin and he prevailed. The West sought to isolate Syria...it failed again..Syria was recently readmitted to the League of Arab states.
There really is no way you can't love President Putin.

I understand that the West is hurt and they'll throw tantrums (which includes acts of aggression)...we have to let them display...if they didn't, I wouldn't be convinced they were hurt...there's no fun in that.

I also took a look at the front page of major Nigerian dailies...Ukraine has been Palestined

That perfectly reality.
The vast majority of Nigerians (and by extension, Africans generally) are indifferent to whatever is happening in Ukraine.

Nairaland has a statistics of less than 2 million users (although they say they have 3 million ) with repeat visitors of less than 7 million.
9 million is a very tiny fraction of 200 million+

The fringe minority of Western apologists have no impact/influence on the decision of decision makers (wrt Rus-West)...this is the only oppurtunity they have to exhibit thier lunacy.

In the West, Ukraine is yet to be Palestined because even though the West trys to portray this as a world vs Russia warfare, it remains a West (and vassals) vs Rus affair. The West failed so badly...they need a scapegoat for the subsequent economic woes and the very sharp decline in the standard of living.
But in Africa, decline in the standard of living has been a norm...compare the price of a bag of rice at the beginning of Buhari's first term in 2015 to the price of a bag of rice in 2018.
In Ghana, life was better in 2012 than it was in 2018.
There has been a trend of hardship and decline which has always been accepted by Africans while the West is beginning to experience hardship and disaster on a scale that it hasn't seen since WW2.

Syria’s Assad may visit Riyadh before May 19 Arab League summit

The probability of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s visit to Riyadh increased significantly after the Arab League Council decided to restore Damascus’ full membership in this regional association, Lebanese analyst Nidal Sabi told TASS.

"There is information from reliable sources in Riyadh and Damascus that such visit may happen before the Arab League summit on May 19," he underscored. According to Sabi, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud has "embarked on a course toward settlement of conflict situations in the region contrary to the will of the US, who has been fueling inter-Arab controversies and confessional hatred for decades."

According to Sabi, the Crown Prince intends to invite Assad to the meeting of Arab leaders in order to cement the "meeting in Riyadh as the summit of consolidation of Arab cohorts under the aegis of Saudi leadership."

"I believe that the Saudi Crown Prince is very close to his goal," he said. "Because, just on Saturday, nobody dared to predict that the May 7 meeting of Arab League Foreign Ministers in Cairo will be a success and will open the road for Syria’s return to the association following a 12-year hiatus."

The Lebanese expert speculated that Presidents of Iran and Turkey may be invited to Riyadh as honored guests.

"Their presence will mean that the years-long Sunni-Shia standoff in the region has come to an end, and the ‘Arab spring’ project, aimed to bring the Muslim Brotherhood Islamists to power, has completely failed," the analyst concluded.

According to Sabi, the end of the Arab boycott of Syria challenges the ability of the US and the EU to preserve the economic sanctions against Damascus.

"Their efficiency will drop significantly and the West will have to admit its defeat," Sabi underscored.

A Sunwing airline flight from Santa Clara, Cuba, to Montreal had to make an emergency landing last Wednesday after a tire burst during takeoff.

The plane landed safely at Varadero airport, also in Cuba, and all 190 passengers and crew members escaped without a scratch, after the intervention of emergency ground teams.

The story received little publicity in Canada, but the pilot of the plane, Vicky Earks, received a hero's welcome in Cuba, where the local media reported the story extensively.

Earks was photographed in some Cuban media outlets with a canvas given to her in recognition of her composure.

According to the Aviation Safety Network, the aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, had previously experienced a window cracking problem in September 2022 and an autopilot problem in November 2019, but both problems had been resolved.
