Five North Korea is better than Iran led by mullahs and Ayos....

zoedew:
You clearly do not see what I am talking about. Iran as a nuclear power will be a continuously present danger to the continued existence of humanity. Even North Korea has been better at wielding Nuclear Power. Iran as a nuclear power will not think twice about using nuclear weapons against Isreal a nation it says should be wiped off the earth surface notwithstanding that the aftershock will go beyond Isreal. Thank you Sir.

Confirmed! To spite the UK and her ill-fated 2-State solution, hardliners in Israeli govt have confirmed that they will offer strategic support and Recognition to Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, if their leaders ask for it, in plans and effort aiming to dissolve the UK.

The United Kingdom sanctioned Israel just a few days ago, demanding a two-state solution.

Today, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are advancing toward their independence, and the United Kingdom is crumbling.
UK asked for two states abroad, and received four at home.....if you add Falkland and Biafra, that makes it 6.


Israel rugged sha

crestedaguiyi:
If the UK breaks up, nothing would hold Nigeria together. France alone can't stand it, except they are calling for an invasion, the type that Cueta saw recently

You brilliantly captured one of the fault points of the British monarchy!

zoedew:
The monarchy in the U.K. critically failed the peculiar system of the United Kingdom with the irresponsible marital behavior of King Charles in his earlier years not to talk of Harry’s. The British Monarchy serves as the common denominator of the United Kingdom. Things fall apart for U.K. when the centre, that is the monarchy, falls apart!

Immatex:
No!

Every person after Tinubu will raise the bar of impunity higher.

Except by natural intervention, Tinubu is likely handing over to the son in 2031!

bro I am closer to the actors! I post personal encounters.


Check my earlier post. Uk is up for grab. I wonder what will happen to her colony, Nigeria?

madridguy:
Nothing will fall yet... Trump just want the UK to help him in the war with Iran.

The Historic Celtic Alliance Threatening to Dissolve the United Kingdom will form today. In a move that has sent shock-waves through Westminster and 10 Downing Street FCDO Services, the political fault lines of the United Kingdom are shifting at unprecedented speed.

Today, the leaders of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland will hold a historic summit in Cardiff to sign a joint declaration demanding the right to self-determination and the power to dissolve the United Kingdom.

While the union will not break apart overnight, this unprecedented "Celtic Alliance" represents the most coordinated, direct constitutional challenge to the UK Government in modern history.

The leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are expected to meet on Monday in the Welsh capital of Cardiff to sign a declaration aimed at achieving independence from England and dissolving the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the UK’s Telegraph newspaper reported Sunday, a day after US President Donald Trump announced his support for Irish reunification.

According to The Telegraph, the declaration will assert the right of the three countries — which, along with England, make up the UK — to hold independence referendums and, should their populations vote in favor, split off from England.

The declaration signed by Scotland’s John Swinney, Wales’s Rhun ap Iorwerth and Northern Ireland’s Michelle O’Neill will cover four key areas, according to the report: economy, energy, Europe, and international cooperation and self-determination.

Personally I support this DEMOCRATIC assertion with total commitment! In a personal suggestion to Ms. Kate Orrick, the deputy head of mission at British Embassy Stockholm British Embassy Stockholm, since United Kingdom covertly organized, supposed the mass murder of civilians including babies, women and children, in a long forgotten genocide, circa 1967-70 in then Biafra Republic, and has the arrogance of power to target people speaking up against those crimes, that I will be alive and watch the UK torn apart from within. In less than 6 months I spoke this..... it's happening!

Lycka till Celtics!
(L-R) First Minister of Northern Ireland Michelle O'Neill; First Minister of Scotland John Swinney; First Minister of Wales Rhun ap Iorwerth.

Congratulations Sverige!

Will Africa, especially Nigeria ever enjoy this type of democracy free from people like Tinubu?

No manipulation of results.

No vote buying.

Politicians showing exactly what they believe in and the policies they will execute!

This is what you can democracy in words, deeds and action!

Social Democrats will lead a host of other smaller parties to form the next govt in Sweden!

The govt of Ulf backed by hardliner Sweden Democrats will become opposition!

Former Prime Minister, Magdalena Andersson to lead the next govt and become the next Prime minister!

Except you don’t know them!

Imindmybusiness:
So she saw her own Nigerian sister in far away America and the first she did was try to put her down all because of tribalism. I laugh at my people who keep them as friends. The day they backstabbed me eeh, e do me like film and I was warned but I didn't listen. God will bless that Hollywood director who put her in her place. Her career is technically over at home and abroad so no one cares.

Isee

plessis:
May igbo giants continue to pursue them with cutlasses in their dreams.

Ise!

See this one ohhh….. o Dey talk of how to avoid backbiting and snitchers, you Dey talk of tinubu!

If you like vote for Sunday Igboho or Abubaker Shekau, how does that affect me?

I’m more interested in making sure snitchers and envious people don’t ruin Igbo lives abroad, like they do in Nigeria with their tribalism

DEROXMAN:
Yorubas are tribalist but tinubu no fit win all Sw while the gaslighters gave 90% to their own, come force me this time na. Christianity my foot mtchew i dey vote tinubu jor. Rubbish. Na una wise pass ba

They have just made it to WOW........ list

First time na them, the usual suspects!

But try to identify problems affecting everyone.... will this buggy website be short of hanger-ons and databois?


As a people, you guys have forgotten......ndi I am a dangerous buharist.

In politics..... Bulablu with his where is the cow Bulaba isn't out of place!
In religion.....Papa GO is showing you symptoms of cultural misnomer.
In Acting.....Omo sexy is doing just fine. Can you hide pregnancy?
Appointment nko... That thing in NIDCOM is all you need to look and spite out in disgust.

What a people, what a shame!

So for the Nordic countries, going Cashless or Digital isn't because it is cliche or in vogue. Its designed to solve a fundamental problem which appears to be cultural and societal.

The failure of a society rests on its inability to study, understand the shortcomings of diverse culture and accepted norms of the people who make up the system..... and make bidding laws to protect everyone.

Let me share a little bit of a research I did for a client.

Why are Nordic countries so concerned about going cashless?

The problem.
It rests on age long traits of taking what didn't belong to them DESPITE & INSPITE of their welcoming & kind hearts.

The Solution?
Go cashless & digital..... you destroy that problem by making it hard, technically more difficult to sustain or participate in the problem.

You, an IGBO, keeping them as friends.... instead of just fellow citizens, I dey pity you.

E never happen to you be say your Chi dey speak for you, like the American actress. You better stop tempting your Chi

Politics is everything! If you like Siddon dey look, when a critical mass of mumus gathers, they will elect a fellow mumu......to mumu your life.

A Nigerian actress attempted to export tribalism to Hollywood....from Nigeria to the US. Specifically, the Lagos - Ibadan-Lagos Expressway type of tribalism carefully cloaked as solutions...... and got a taste of the American 1st Amendment .
How can there be solutions when different experts have not identified a problem.....

Maybe she doesn't know the real meaning of ACTING. It's those little imperfections, she wanted to explore for her selfish tribal reasons, that make it attractive to different demographics...... which includes her tribal demographics too. Well, she got the right response: I Don't CARE. WE DON'T CARE. That's an American response to snitchers and backbiting.

She probably got carried away by pyrrhic fame she got before people saw a better part of her. That's who they are. Backbiting! That's what they can't deal with. Envy! That's what they usually do. Promoting tribalism cloaked as solutions!

Now, you know why Nigeria "as is" is anything but progressing. Grant them a country of theirs and see the rest of Nigeria competing with Europe in 10 years, or allow the IGBOS to leave Nigeria for them and others, and see Biafra or whatever Igbos adopt, competing with Europe in 8 years.

If it wasn't captured live on video, from her own mouth, nay sayers will twist it like they usually do.

You need to understand something about humans.... the culture, the social norms and accepted ways of life have far reaching consequences for the country, because it affects its politics.

Imagine a situation where fraud and envy are well cloaked within every step of the decision...... Nigeria's current situation is exactly what you will get.

What a shame!

Listen for your self:

Omotola joined Hollywood,the first thing she did was to chase away all the Igbo people working there for years ,but she failed.

She has been angry after what happened!

This week, Stockholm bore witness to two entirely parallel realities, highlighting the stark contrast between public international diplomacy and the grit of judicial friction.

On one side of the capital, Finnish President Alexander Stubb made a highly publicized appearance at Prince Daniel's Fellowship Entrepreneurship Day and Nordic Tech Week 2026. Amid ongoing global anxiety regarding Russian aggression, Stubb's presence served as a visible reminder that Nordic bilateral cooperation, tech innovation, and economic resilience are moving forward full steam—the threat landscape hasn't wound down, but the Nordics are actively adapting rather than retreating.

Yet on that exact same Monday, an entirely different kind of state machinery was turning quiet gears at the Svea Court of Appeal (Svea hovrätt). The appellate court officially registered an "Ö nummer" (procedural case number), formalizing an appeal against AKT 66 on the basis that, the process had previously been allegedly muddled by preparatory staff of the Stockholm District Court (Department 1).

What makes this routine administrative docketing read like a legal thriller is the high-stakes backdrop:

A complex civil claim filed against the Swedish business operations (St1 Refinery AB and St1 Sverige AB) belonging to top Finnish energy billionaire Mika Anttonen.

A legal battle line heavily intersecting with the sensitive preservation of restricted British Diplomatic documents concerning Biafra era humanitarian atrocities.

Active scrutiny by the Parliamentary Ombudsmen (JO) into the handling of the case file by preparatory staff at Stockholm District Court.

This may be the Ultimate Litmus Test for the well-known Swedish Judicial Independence!

For outside observers, the perfect alignment of a Finnish Head of State arriving in town just as an appeal targeting a massive Finnish corporate empire is resurrected might look ripe for a geopolitical conspiracy theory. In Sweden, the strict separation of powers means that judicial clerks, court dockets, and independent ombudsmen operate or should operate completely blind to the diplomatic itineraries of visiting dignitaries or assumed back door pressure. The Svea Court’s decision to correct a lower court's procedural misstep, entirely unswayed by the immense wealth of the defendant or the sensitive nature of international cables, will stand as a testament to institutional resilience.

Two tracks. One day. Total separation of power in action.

Our Appeal to the Svea Appeal court, against St1 Refinery AB and St1 Sverige AB, has been officially registered and we patiently await the decision of the learned appellate judges

Make e attend first make we dey sure since Jimoh IBRAHIM is Trump.

The US justice system makes it easy to arrest anyone regardless of political position. The New York Mayor understand this fact well, that's why he attempted to use it against Israeli Pm just few weeks ago.

Trump and Republicans had to personally intervene.

Will Trump and Republicans intervene for a heroin trafficker? Let's wait and see

That e coconut druggie head go understand

Of course we meant every bit of it. That is why our Track - two Diplomacy is like anything tyrannic African countries have not seen before.

Bit by bit....we will use the law to right the wrongs.

We understand local and international profiteers of Africa, "as is", will push back, that is why our strategy lies in the law!

Kobojunkie:
So, let me get this straight! When you wrote that you understand that States act according to circumstances: Interests, Security, Geography, Power, and strategic necessity, you really didn't mean it? 😒

Two case studies. Two conflict theatres. One uncomfortable question: Are African conflicts treated by the Nordic system in the same way as conflicts elsewhere?

Sweden has built a remarkable international reputation around dialogue, mediation, peace-building, transparency and the creation of space for difficult conversations.

The country’s diplomatic history gives this reputation considerable substance.

Sweden has repeatedly supported preventive diplomacy, inclusive mediation and informal dialogue. Its own foreign-policy statements have emphasized that mediation works best when it creates space for dialogue between actors who may not otherwise be able or willing to communicate. Sweden has also played a role in facilitating peace processes, including the 2018 Stockholm consultations on Yemen.

That history is precisely why I became curious.

What happens when we compare the treatment of actors connected to conflicts in the Middle East with the treatment of actors connected to conflicts in Africa?

So I started digging. Not through rumours. Not through social-media commentary. Not through classified material.

Through publicly accessible information.

Sweden is, in many respects, a transparency haven. And that is wonderful.

Because if you know where to look, what to look for and how to connect the dots, public records can reveal extraordinary amounts of information-- Government statements. Parliamentary records. Funding decisions. Press releases. Institutional partnerships. Public appointments. Court records. Organisational registrations. Diplomatic engagements. Public events.Policy documents. Actors. Networks. And the language used to describe them - Emmanuel Ogbuanu
You can begin to reconstruct not merely what governments say, but how institutions actually behave.

And this is where my comparative study became uncomfortable.

The comparison
I examined two broad conflict environments:

Case Study I — Middle East
Sweden has maintained substantial diplomatic, humanitarian and political engagement around conflicts in the Middle East.

The Swedish Government’s current foreign-policy position, for example, explicitly discusses diplomatic engagement, humanitarian assistance, negotiations, sanctions, international law and political solutions in relation to Gaza, Israel/Palestine, Iran and other regional crises. Sweden also maintains a regional development-cooperation strategy covering the Middle East and North Africa, worth approximately SEK 2.3 billion for 2024–2027.

Case Study II — Africa
Africa receives significant Swedish humanitarian, development and peacebuilding support too. Sweden has publicly emphasized African-led mediation and the importance of dialogue, prevention and regional institutions. In 2026, Sweden chaired the International Contact Group for the Great Lakes and participated alongside African Union and regional mediation actors, explicitly stating that there can be no military solution to the conflict.

So this isn’t an argument that Sweden does nothing for Africa.

Quite the opposite. The question is more subtle:

Are comparable actors and political causes given comparable institutional space, diplomatic access, language, tolerance and procedural treatment?

That is where the comparison becomes interesting.

The treatment of controversial actors
One of the patterns that caught my attention concerns how controversial political actors are categorized and treated.

In some Middle Eastern contexts, actors associated with deeply controversial political positions can nevertheless become interlocutors within extensive diplomatic, humanitarian, academic, mediation or policy ecosystems.

That does not mean Sweden endorses them.

It means that contact, dialogue and engagement remain possible despite controversy.

But when we examine some African conflicts, the institutional environment can look markedly different.

Actors may be moved much more quickly from the category of:

“political actor”

into:

“security problem,” “extremist,” “criminal actor,” or “law-enforcement matter.”

And once that categorization occurs, the available space for dialogue changes dramatically. That is the issue I want to interrogate.

Not whether every actor deserves legitimacy.

Not whether every organization should be invited into a negotiation.

But whether the threshold for dialogue, engagement and political recognition is applied consistently.

Because if the standard changes depending upon geography, identity or geopolitical interest, we have a problem.

Justice cannot be selectively blind
We often hear:

“The law is blind.”

But blindness is only meaningful if it is accompanied by consistency.

If similar conduct produces radically different institutional responses depending on who the actor is, where the conflict occurs, or which geopolitical interests are involved, then we should at least be willing to ask questions.

I am not making a criminal-liability determination about any individual or organization in this post. That is not the purpose of the research. The purpose is to examine institutional patterns.

Who gets access?

Who gets heard?

Who gets funded?

Who gets invited?

Who gets classified as a legitimate interlocutor?

Who gets treated as a security threat?

Who receives diplomatic engagement?

Who receives humanitarian engagement?

Who is given space for political dialogue?

And who finds the door closed before the conversation even begins? And why?

And then there is the question of “values”
This is where historical comparisons become uncomfortable.

Take Finland.

Finland’s wartime relationship with Nazi Germany is a complicated historical subject and infact Finland was simply “a Nazi ally” in the 1930s. Finland’s military cooperation with Germany developed during the Second World War, particularly around the 1940–41 period, and Finland subsequently fought the Soviet Union alongside Germany during the Continuation War.

Finland’s blue swastika had been adopted as a Finnish national symbol before Nazi Germany rose to power and had a distinct Finnish origin, we understand this. However is a deeper-than understood connection between Nazism and this selective response? The Finnish Air Force subsequently phased out the symbol in 2020.

Why mention this?

Because history teaches us that symbols, alliances and political relationships cannot always be understood through simplistic moral categories.

States act according to circumstances.

Interests.

Security.

Geography.

Power.

And strategic necessity.

That is precisely why I am uncomfortable when contemporary foreign policy is explained simply through the language of “love,” “values” or “human rights.”

International relations are more complicated than that.

Interests matter.

Strategic interests matter enormously.

The Swedish transparency paradox
And here is the fascinating part. Sweden’s transparency makes this kind of comparative research possible. You don’t necessarily need privileged access. You need methodological discipline. You follow the documents. You compare statements. You trace funding. You map actors. You examine institutional relationships. You compare language. You identify omissions. You establish chronology.

And eventually, patterns begin to emerge.

That is the real power of open-source intelligence and documentary research.

The archive talks. You just need to know how to listen.

Today, we took the next step.
Bigkoko, today submitted a Voluntary Transparency Notification to the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs (UD) and the Swedish secret police Sakerhetspolisen (Sapo) , in our assessment, potentially raises questions relevant to geopolitical developments in Africa.

We are putting this on record because our position is simple:

Africans deserve equal measures.
If dialogue is considered useful in one conflict environment, dialogue should not automatically become suspicious when Africans demand it.

If humanitarian concerns justify engagement in one region, humanitarian concerns should not become politically inconvenient in another.

If political actors can be studied, heard, consulted and engaged despite controversy in one theatre, then the threshold for doing so elsewhere deserves scrutiny.

This does not mean excusing violence. It does not mean legitimizing crimes. It does not mean abandoning international law.

Quite the opposite.

It means applying international law, due process and institutional standards consistently.

Sweden itself has repeatedly emphasized the importance of international law, preventive diplomacy, inclusive dialogue and peaceful conflict resolution.

So the question is not whether Sweden should abandon its values. The question is whether those values are being applied consistently across geopolitical theatres.

My question to Sweden is therefore straightforward:
Can we have one standard for the Middle East and another for Africa?

Can an actor be controversial but still considered a potential interlocutor in one conflict, while a comparable African actor is immediately reduced to a security or criminal-law question?

Can peace-building mean dialogue in one theatre and containment in another?

Can self-determination, human rights and civilian protection be universal principles while their practical application remains geographically selective?

I don’t think we should be afraid of asking these questions.

Because transparency is not dangerous.

Selective transparency is.

And justice is not justice because we call it justice.

Justice becomes credible when it is blind to identity, geography and political convenience—and free from improper interests.

What is good for the crisis in the Middle East should be good enough to consider for the crisis in Africa.
Justice must be blind. Dialogue must be possible. Standards must be consistent.

And above all:

Africa deserves equal measures.

They called. I answered. I crossed the lines without fear, went to their realm. They spoke and I replied. What did they eat in the night that makes them want to try you Great Mother? Agbara Nwanyi. Mmawu ka mmawu. Mmuo ne ri mmuo. Ike nji Aba Ogu.

It’s not me they called. I am not the one that replied. When they see me, they see You Great Mother. Who are these Finnish, German and British masquerades? If they stand in my front, let it happen to them in the front. If they turn and stand in my back, let it happen to them in back!

Abuo ka egbe na kpo dike. All kpo ya na ndu, all kpo ya na owu! I have two hands of justice…..to feed them the food You, Great Mother, have cooked for them, and the one their own mother cooked because they crossed the line of justice!


You have broken the gates at the lower point of Justice. Go higher. Tear down the gate at the higher point of Justice., so I can feed both of them the food You cooked for them!

Don’t let any one of them escape Your wrath. Instead that stubborn one will escape, let the sun never set. Great Mother, because it is easier and justified to make them face Your, than for the sun never to set, may the stubborn one not escape. Help me pin them down too! And if anyone in the Govt tries to break protocol and pervert Justice for them, I join my energy with that of my Father, the Great One, to feed them stones and bones, morning, afternoon and night, for food.
Isee!!!!
