You are right... The airport is very local, most of the direction and instruction displayed on the screen in the airport is in Arabic language, the airport officials are hostile.

they have one of the longest runway I have ever seen,

2. BMW series whatever series either series a, series b to z. Especially automatic transmission models.
3. Landrover Freelander... Designed by the devil assembled by monkeys.. left factory for showroom with over 200 known faults... Avoid like leprosy!

Abby and Brittany Hensel are conjoined twins. The two became household names after they let the media into their unique lives for a program on TLC. The twin sisters share the same body but have several organs that are different. They do not share a heart, stomach, spins, lungs or spinal cord.

The twins were born in Carver County, Minnesota, to Patty, a registered nurse, and Mike Hensel, a carpenter and landscaper. They have a younger brother and sister. They were raised in New Germany, Minnesota, attended Lutheran High School in Mayer, and graduated from Bethel University in St. Paul in 2012.

Conjoined twins are quite rare and that is the reason Abby and Brittany’s story has become so popular. The two have been featured in programs on several media outlets and the world is fascinated with these unusual sisters. Here are some interesting things you may not know about the Hensel twins.

Each twin controls her half of their body, operating one arm and one leg. As infants, the initial learning of physical processes that required bodily coordination, such as clapping, crawling, and walking, required the cooperation of both twins. While they can eat and write separately and simultaneously, activities such as running and swimming require them to coordinate and alternate their actions symmetrically. Other activities as diverse as brushing hair and driving a car require each twin to perform separate actions that coordinate with the other’s.

so this people even carry masquerade to USA?

what are they doing in this dirty and smelling place?
WHO should fumigate them before they board the aircraft back to North.

BUHARI , DON'T RUN FROM RATS , RUN FROM THE THIEF ITA ENANG

Emmanuel Nicholas

I know President Buhari to be a very serious man. Unlike former President Obasanjo, he is not a man who is known for cracking jokes, he seldom smiles. Coming from a stern military and religious background, Nigerians voted him to power on the strength that he will be upright in the fight against corruption.
If the corruption war of Mr President, Mohammadu Buhari is not for cosmetic reasons, then Mr President should order the EFCC to investigate his Special Assistant on National Assembly, Senator Ita Solomon Enang for embezzling 920billion naira, an amount he collected in the false pretence of building a dam for his people in Uyo Senatorial District.

Save for the revelations of distinguished Senator Bassey Albert, the people of Akwa Ibom State would not be in the know that Mr Ita Enang had received the sum of nine hundred and twenty million naira to construct a dam in Uyo Senatorial District. No one knew that Ita Enang received such a huge sum of money from the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.

The Dam Ita Enang said he built to the level of about a billion naira is laughable. When I visited the site in Ididep in Ibiono Local Government, the area has been taken over by weeds , the job done so far cannot be valued beyond fifty million naira.

So how can President Mohammadu Buhari say he is fighting corruption when he surrounds himself with corrupt individuals like Senator Ita Solomon Enang? If people could be invited by EFCC over one hundred million naira arms deal, Why is Mr Ita Enang strutting around free? Mr President, I will only believe your war against corruption if Ita Enang is docked, a corrupt politician like him should not be seen around you, except your war against corruption is fake and is only against PDP members and any Member of PDP who crosses to APC is automatically is canonized a saint.

Mr President, you said your Government has zero tolerance for corrupt officials, why are you still dancing with a known thief like Ita Solomon Enang as your personal aide? You cannot pour old wine into a new wine skin. How can several billions of naira go just like that without even a question? Or is the fight against corruption a one sided battle?

Your acceptance of a thief like Ita Solomon Enang calls for many questions. We have lost faith (for those who had it at all in the first place) in the one sided system. The fight against corruption is a huge joke. The best man the President can appoint to be a go-between him and the senate is Ita Enang. A man who has no respect for the law nor constituted authority?

Mr President how can you allow the people to doubt your corruption war ? How will you keep a thief as your gate keeper and want Nigerians to believe your change campaign? I don’t want to believe what Nigerians are saying, that your corruption war is a vindictive move not really a war against corruption.

For making people Like Senator Ita Enang part of your Government, then the people are correct. If Ita Enang's corrupt disposition can be tolerated, his lose tongue is annoying. President Buhari mandates Ita Enang to come to Akwa Ibom state every week and insult Governor Udom Emmanuel. The last time he said Akwa Ibom youths are cultists. Senator Ita Enang accused Governor Udom Emmanuel of recruiting cultist for the upcoming re-run election in Akwa Ibom state and went ahead to say that the governor is using his several programmes targeted at youth development to recruit youths into cult groups. Ita Enang threw caution to the winds by insinuating that Akwa Ibom youths are cultists and I must say, this has gone beyond politics.

The loquacious Ita Enang has over stepped his bounds this time and should apologise to Akwa Ibom youths. Ita Enang over his 16 years sojourn in the National Assembly has a very poor record of human capital development. He is a deeply selfish man, very tight fisted and a miser. Ita is obviously jealous about what Udom Emmanuel is doing in Akwa Ibom State, trying to give the youths more capacity to launch themselves into global reckoning. Ita Enang particularly said the oracle training is used as a bait for recruiting cultist, how silly of him.

Please my President prosecute Senator Ita Enang or else, the youths of Uyo Senatorial District will lead a protest to Aso Rock. How can Ita receive nine hundred and twenty million naira then there is no functional dam at Idedep in Ibiono?

You deny Dasuki freedom and allow Senator Ita Enang to work free on the streets and run his mouth like wild fire, steering up war in Akwa Ibom State, calling the youth of the State cultists, projecting evil against your administration.

Chiedu wrote in the Guardian Newspapers that the civil servant who sits on a colleague’s promotion or retirement file in the office because of refusal to bribe him, will make a terribly corrupt head of department. Owners of corporate organisations who connive with government officials to defraud Nigeria are likely to run corrupt administrations if given opportunities to occupy public office. The clergyman who applauds the criminal in his church or mosque because of personal gains is corrupt and therefore, should not be considered for the headship of an association of clergymen. Corrupt leadership is a problem of today but corrupt followership is a problem of both today and tomorrow.

Mr President Sir, your being a saint and keeping a thief will also corrupt you to become one. It will be wise to prosecute Senator Ita Enang if truly your anti-corruption crusade is not selective. Senator Ita Solomon Enang is an intelligent man but he is of no use to us. He is one leader that has no value before the electorates of Akwa Ibom State. He had been a councillor, a House of Assembly member, house of Representatives member and a Senator, there is no youth or a woman that can say he or she was empowered by Ita Enang. Ita Enang lacks any moral justification to speak, more so because of his corrupt tendency.

Ita Enang is a man who has failed his generation and God. The people of the Senatorial District roundly rejected him when he came back asking for their votes. The President Buhari I know is a prudent and honest leader. Why would you keep a thief as your friend and companion Sir? A corrupt politician is one who steals the money of the people. corruption also has many other forms that many people don’t realize. A corrupt leader could also be someone who corrupts his promises, duties, responsibilities, and the trust that the public gives him or her. Senator Ita Enang has never kept to his election promises to his people. He is a corrupt man.

The future of our children depends on our votes. Political aspirants keep coming to the masses like job applicants waited to be hired. The people had being making mistakes to hire Senator Ita Enang until they realized their mistake and voted him out. He dazzled on the floor of the house and did not report progress back home. Even what he received, he swallowed it all.

Mr President before you hired him, you would have done background checks on him, do a check on his previous assignments and evaluate his past performances, examine his relationship with the people.

Mr President, I invite you to send an independent valuer to access the level of job that was done at the dam project, it is not a quarter of the funds Senator Ita Enang received. If after your findings, you don’t open the maximum prison for Ita Enang to be a tenant, then your corruption war is a tv soap

The recent proclamation of northern youths and the ultimatum given to Igbo people to vacate the north within three months shed much needed light on why Nigeria is not, and will never be, one united nation.

We have witnessed the independence of Slovenia from the former Yugoslavia, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the division of the former Czechoslovakia, and the separation of both Eritrea from Ethiopia and South Sudan from Sudan.

Numerous of successful secessions have allowed people greater freedom and self-determination: Greek independence from the Ottoman Empire, the Hungarian split with the Soviet Union in 1989, Singapore's secession from Malaysia in 1965, Ireland's independence from the UK, and countless others.

Nigeria's impotence as ungovernable, divided, separate, hostile, and unequal nation is apparent for all to see. Nigeria, as we know it, is dead! The country is irrevocably broken along ethnic, linguistic, geographical, religious, and cultural lines. The sooner the Nigerian people accept this, the sooner the break-up and the sooner we can move on.

From time to time, the break-up of Nigeria becomes inevitable to many of us who believe that “In the course of human events, it is necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them.” We're in one of those periods now, and while the reasons are unique, the historical moment is not new. In 1953, the northerners considered secession from the Nigerian colony that would soon be an independent nation.

The words of our founding fathers that Nigeria is not one country remain prophetically instructive.

Listen to them:

“Nigeria is not a nation. It is mere geographical expression. There are no ‘Nigerians’ in the same sense as there are ‘English,’ ‘Welsh,’ or ‘French.’ The word ‘Nigerian’ is merely a distinctive appellation to distinguish those who live within the boundaries of Nigeria and those who do not,” Chief Obafemi Awolowo said in 1947.

“Since 1914 the British government has been trying to make Nigeria into one country,” Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa said, “but the Nigerian people themselves are historically different in their backgrounds, in their religious beliefs and customs, and do not show themselves any signs of willingness to unite... Nigerian unity is only a British invention.”

Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe argued in 1964 that “It is better for us and many admirers abroad that we [Nigeria] should disintegrate in peace and not in pieces. Should the politicians fail to heed this warning, then I will venture the prediction that the experience of the Democratic Republic of the Congo will be child's play if ever it comes to our turn to play such a tragic role.”

The recent proclamation of northern youths and the ultimatum given to Igbo people to vacate the north within three months shed much needed light on why Nigeria is not, and will never be, one united nation. There is no mystery as to how we got to this point. There is also no mystery as to who to blame. There is no need for conspiracy theories. The polarization of public life exacerbated by government corruption and incompetence has become so tense it led to widespread civil disorder, culminating in chaos and crises.

Nigeria is fast approaching a complete collapse. For long, many of us have raised alarm that our government and the way the system is being run are not working, and cannot guarantee delivery of basic essential services. The ominous declaration of the northern youths has left Nigerians in fear of what tomorrow may bring. While all this plays out, Nigerians watch in horror and amazement from the sidelines and wonder when the inevitable will occur.

Inequality between the looting ruling class and the poor has become increasingly intolerable. The native tyrants in the National Assembly, better still, National Asylum, are in stupor of random pleasures and whims, feasting on plenty of food and sex, and reveling in the non-judgment that democracy is civil religion. From all indications, our democracy is in retreat, close to being destroyed by vast corruption, ineptitude, incompetence, and fraud. Those in Abuja couldn't care less about our people. They couldn't care less that for 58 years we couldn't get along. They couldn't care less that Nigeria is as good as dead. Nigerians are angry – Igbos, Hausas, and Yorubas. They are all angry for being sick and poor and tired of being cannon fodders. They are tired of being jobless and hopeless. Brother is turning against brother. Killing of families and children are the norm rather than the exception. Nigerians are nickel-and-dimed to death in their everyday life. Workers, if paid at all, are paid peonage wages. The nation's peonage wage is at subsistence level. This is simply incompatible with self-determination.

With subsistence living, Nigerians are constrained into a desperate state. Their horizon is limited to the present day, to getting enough of what they need to make it to the next. The minimum wage in Nigeria is N18,000 per month. This is criminally below the poverty line. That's a scrambling, anxious existence, narrowly bounded. It's impossible to decently feed, clothe, and shelter yourself on a wage like that, much less a family, much less have money to see the doctor, or pay for your kids college, or participate in any of those good things of life. Down to the peon level, the pursuit of happiness sounds like a bad joke.

The critical mass of our people is kept in peonage. All its vitality spent in the trenches of day-to-day survival with scant or no opportunity to develop the full range of its faculties. That's why I'm miffed by the numbed-out, dumbed-down, make belief Nigerians who still believe that Nigeria could be saved from falling apart. This is deceptive and uncharitable given our past political history and the present political realities of our nation. Those who see future or unity in one Nigeria are deluded, ignorant, unrealistic. They don't know what's real, what's possible, and can't differentiate fact from fiction.

Nigeria is a country divided against itself and cannot stand. Nigeria is virtually bankrupt. The clamor for separation is the manifestation of a nation grounded as it were, without hope of moving forward after 58 years. I believe it's too late to save Nigeria from disintegration. Our union for the past 58 years has produced no peace, no progress, and no prosperity for the poor majority. The only beneficiaries and the loudest advocates of one Nigeria are those profiteers from the miseries of the pulverized poor – the ruling class.

For a while I thought I should not waste my time writing to counsel Acting President Goodluck Jonathan. I believe that what I have counselled him to do in some of my previous articles are enough; it remains to see how he handles those pieces of advice. My focus today transcends the current distressful situation in Nigeria. Four important things must happen before a nation tears apart:

1. Total disregard for the constitution, public opinion, and visible authorities.

2. Exaltation of one part of the country over the rest in a blatant, unyielding, and unpretentious fashion.

3. Abdication of responsible duties by those constitutionally and lawfully charged with them.

4. Resistance to change in the overriding national interest by a clique, cabal, or mafia.

The four things listed above spell the acronym TEAR. There is a role that the United States of America (USA) has been playing in the past few years that convinces me that the utmost collapse of Nigeria is a strange desire of that country. A prediction by the USA that Nigeria would break up in 2015 is definitely not news. What seems to be news now is the present effort by the USA under the Obama government to make that prophecy to come to pass. I teach at the American University of Nigeria, and happen to know that Americans do not just get involved in a project outside the shores of their country without a guarantee that they would dominate. The survival of America rests firmly on their ability to successfully manipulate world affairs (including engineering false wars); control the production and distribution of needed resources such as oil around the world; and determine personalities who must occupy positions of power and influence in superficially sovereign countries such as Nigeria.

We have many Nigerians who have taken up American citizenship. Surely, they could claim that they enjoy more rights as American citizens than they could enjoy as Nigerians. But one fact is this—America will never be comfortable with a Nigerian leader whose actions or policies will steer Nigeria towards the path of genuine independence, practical leadership on the African continent, and stable true democracy. Let me give an example. Would America support a Nigerian leader who would work towards stopping the export of crude oil to any country (including the USA), and would rather locally refine and export petroleum products? Would the USA be approving of a Nigerian leader that would take steps to take the ownership of our oil industry from foreign oil companies such as Shell, Mobil, and Chevron?

American officials who have visited General Babangida and urged him to seek the office of President of Nigeria in 2011 could not have meant well for Nigeria. The reported “pressure” being mounted by America on IBB to “run” (a euphemism for being imposed on Nigeria) for the office of President of the republic could never be in the interest of Nigeria. The Americans forced Dr. Abdullah to withdraw from the re-run of the Afghan presidential elections, favouring President Karzai. I wonder whether they considered the interest of the Afghan people. If Nigeria would break up, the Americans would definitely side with the group which controls the black gold. Our redemption as a people rests in our hands and that of God.

If the Americans think that IBB’s return to power would be necessary, as reported, to restore confidence, build institutions, and provide the Nigerians with leadership, let me pose the following questions. And the Obama government should help in seeking for answers:

i. Why did Babangida stage the 1985 coup? Was he actually a drug baron?

ii. Didn’t IBB kill Dele Giwa in 1986? If so, was it not to cover up a drug-related case?

iii. Was IBB not the person that eliminated both Abiola and Bola Ige? Can the Americans claim ignorance about Abiola’s death?

iv. Did IBB not know about how General Abacha died?

v. If IBB committed the acts mentioned in i)-iv), could the Americans help impose such a fellow on Nigerians and yet claim to be a nation that respects the sanctity of life?

In 2006, I wrote in an article title “Nigerian democracy: matters arising” that I saw that none among Babangida, Atiku, Buhari, and Obasanjo became Nigeria’s president in 2007. I said that a dark horse would emerge. In fact, I saw that Babangida’s son Mohammed had died. I must say without reservation that should IBB make any attempt to regain power in Nigeria one way or the other, his end shall be like that of the biblical Ahab. A stray arrow shall pierce through his heart. Some of us have groaned for this nation; we have shed literally tears over this nation. We have also seen things about our land. Those who are playing God shall end up terribly! For the Americans, I have a word. Remember Babylon.

Whatever the conspiracy of “power brokers” in Nigeria at the expense of popular choice, their conspiracies shall break them. Mark this; the hunter shall be taken in his snare. Before Nigeria breaks up, strong regional leaders must emerge. A country that just breaks up without discernible regional leaders who are repositories of regional confidence will definitely break up further. It is not news that the Muslim-Hausa-Fulani Compound has remained the epicentre of power allocation, location, and possession in Nigeria. Since 1959, when the British colonialists, under Sir James Robertson rigged the first national legislative election in favour of the Northern Peoples Congress (NPC), the North has always maintained the edge in political contests. It is always their dominated political party that “wins” the center. And in a country where fiscal federalism has collapsed, the central power is what matters. A low level British Administrator, Harold Smith refused to comply with the directive to rig the 1959 elections in favour of the NPC, to the displeasure of Governor-general Robertson. But just like the press at the time refused to publish the truth, so also has the Nigerian press of today been guilty of silent conspiracy, hiding the egregious acts being committed by villains in power.

When preparing for peace, prepare for war. This is a largely accepted truism. Should Nigeria break up according to ethnic, economic, or political interests, there may yet be the slim chance of a loose confederacy in the future, but then, on the basis of equality, mutually beneficial interests, and mutual respect. We must start preparing for this. I propose a natural division, which closely follows the River Niger and River Benue partitions. In this case, I am referring to three countries emerging.

Benue; Cross-River; Enugu; Anambra; Ebonyi; Imo; Abia; Akwa-Ibom; Rivers; and Bayelsa would form one single country.

Kwara; Kogi; Niger; Oyo; Ondo; Ekiti; Ogun; Osun; Delta; Edo and Lagos would form one single country.

Taraba; Adamawa; Borno; Yobe; Bauchi; Gombe; Plateau; Kaduna; Nassarawa; Kano; Jigawa; Katsina; Zamfara; Sokoto; and Kebbi would make up one single country.

The Federal Capital Territory shall be commonly owned by all the three countries, with equal rights.

The above classifications are simply proposals which could be modified. It is imperative that discussions start happening at those levels of possible coalition of nationhood. After we have gone our separate ways, then at some mutually convenient time in the future, we can consider agreeable terms for a United States of Nigeria (USN).

At the moment, my moods oscillate between utmost disappointment and fascinating suspense. The former, because Dr. Jonathan appears to be shaking like a reed in the wilderness; and the latter, because I keep forcing myself to believe that there is a spring of pleasant surprise that may yet come from this amiable gentleman. I wait and watch.
