The said letter, 420 words long, carries instructions on how missionaries would have to weaponise Christianity for the benefit of the white man.
Many centres of African studies can neither confirm nor deny the authenticity of the letter yet, it has been carried by some of Africa’s most popular news and analysis platforms.
It reads;Reverends, Fathers and Dear Compatriots: The task that is given to fulfill is very delicate and requires much tact. You will go certainly to evangelize, but your evangelization must inspire above all Belgium interests. Your principal objective in our mission in the Congo is never to teach the niggers to know God, this they know already.
“They speak and submit to a Mungu, one Nzambi, one Nzakomba, and what else I don’t know. They know that to kill, to sleep with someone else’s wife, to lie and to insult is bad. Have courage to admit it; you are not going to teach them what they know already. Your essential role is to facilitate the task of administrators and industrials, which means you will go to interpret the gospel in the way it will be the best to protect your interests in that part of the world.
“For these things, you have to keep watch on disinteresting our savages from the richness that is plenty [in their underground. To avoid that, they get interested in it, and make you murderous] competition and dream one day to overthrow you. Your knowledge of the gospel will allow you to find texts ordering, and encouraging your followers to love poverty, like “Happier are the poor because they will inherit the heaven” and, “It’s very difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom of God.” You have to detach from them and make them disrespect everything which gives courage to affront us. I make reference to their Mystic System and their war fetish – warfare protection – which they pretend not to want to abandon, and you must do everything in your power to make it disappear. Your action will be directed essentially to the younger ones, for they won’t revolt when the recommendation of the priest is contradictory to their parent’s teachings.
“The children have to learn to obey what the missionary recommends, who is the father of their soul. You must singularly insist on their total submission and obedience, avoid developing the spirit in the schools, teach students to read and not to reason. There, dear patriots, are some of the principles that you must apply. You will find many other books, which will be given to you at the end of this conference. Evangelize the negroes so that they stay forever in submission to the white colonialists, so they never revolt against the restraints they are undergoing. Recite every day – “Happy are those who are weeping because the kingdom of God is for them.”
Some have pointed to this letter as evidence of the evil intent of Christian missionary work during colonisation. For them, Christianisation was a project necessary for the distortion, if not destruction, of the African identity.
With the harming of African identity comes self-perception founded in an identity crisis. Thus, we have been taught to hate our own and to reject the improvement of our kind.
The idea of European imperialism as an attack on the black psyche was mentioned over half a century ago by Kwame Nkrumah. However, Ghana’s first president did not root his argument in this letter.
So far, very few are willing to dismiss the letter even if its authorship is sketchy. It is probably in the eyes of Africans, the only grey area when it comes to King Leopold II.
Tear gas, formally known as a lachrymator agent or lachrymator, sometimes colloquially known as mace, is a chemical weapon that causes severe eye and respiratory pain, skin irritation, bleeding, and blindness. In the eye, it stimulates the nerves of the lacrimal gland to produce tears.
It was a weapon of choice in the first World War, and these days, law enforcement uses a less potent recipe of tear gas to pacify a room or control a crowd. Discover what’s inside the sensory-attacking irritant that can be deadly if used at high concentrations.
How long does tear gas last? At low strength, the effects of tear gas should last no longer than 20 minutes. People should get away from the chemicals and wash any traces from their bodies to help limit damage to their health.
How do you relieve tear gas? Hong Kong protesters carry around spray bottles with a baking soda and water solution (three teaspoons of powder for every 8.5 ounces of liquid), which they spray in their face and mouth to neutralize the effects of tear gas particles.
So what should you do if you’re exposed to tear gas or pepper spray? Get away from the area, and wash with copious amounts of water—especially your hands and face, Blum says. Kaszeta also recommends “flapping your arms like a chicken” to shake off loose particles and help evaporate volatile components.
1. Water accelerates the breakdown of CS via hydrolysis to malononitrile and o-chlorobenzaldehyde. Alkaline water (pH 9) substantially accelerates that reaction, though JK cautions against using high-pH water on your eyes.
2. Hong Kong protesters have used water saturated with baking soda, which creates a basic solution, to treat exposure to tear gas.
3. OC, on the other hand, doesn’t undergo hydrolysis. Still, water can soothe its effects, and soap can help wash the irritating compound away.
4. Some protesters use milk or milk of magnesia to neutralize the riot-control agents on the scene, but little to no data supports those treatments as effective. While milk might provide some cooling relief to irritation, it doesn't do much to help people exposed to tear gas. “With pepper spray, milk helps break down those oils,”
Voy: trust me, by Gods special Grace I’ll come to dat. Na jus time e go take me... like I said “until justice is served”
You can make a collection of SARS victims like 50 person,you will file a class action at the court against the Nigerian Police.All must have valid medical reports to present as evidence.
My encounter with the Nigerian police FSars in 2017 This was typed in grief, permit me to apologize for any typographical err u might come across, kindly read to the end
This is my story...
My name is Amaru I’m an Apple iPhone soft/hardware engineer and also a phone dealer. I am a legit Nigerian, a strong and genuine lover of my country. I’ll like to share this sad story between myself and the FSARS that happened on the 22nd of September 2017 at about 1:30pm.
On this sad day, I was walking through the complex’s balcony going to my office when someone gripped my jeans from behind asking me to stop. I thought it was one of those random jokes from someone I know but when I tried to turn and eventually saw his face; I was like leave me alone “Wetin be your problem” While I was trying to free myself, he alarmed and I heard voices downstairs and two armed men ran upstairs cocking their guns and pointing it at me telling me to move! I respected myself and followed em downstairs and they forced me into a sky blue Toyota highlander Jeep.
On entering the Vehicle, one of them was asking a tattered looking person sitting next to me “Na d guy be dis ??” And I heard him say “yes na him” na him I sell the phones to; iPhone 4s and infinix he added. I looked at d guy again And was like are dis peoplel kidding me ? I don’t know this person from nowhere I said. The guy was mute And that was when I noticed they were FSARS. And one of them said to the guy “ shey na iphone 4 ? Nobi iPhone 6? Immediately the guy said it’s an iPhone 6 and infinix. They drove off And d next place I saw myself was at police command Lagos Ikeja. We all got off the Jeep and they were like “U Dey talk say u no knw dis guy abi? No worry u go talk truth” and one of then said “carry am go theater” It was still shocking to me. When we got there, They started slapping me (countless times) They asked me to lie down, they Flog the hell out of me. E still be like film for my eyes...They kept asking “do you know this guy” I was still telling em I don’t know him and they said “no worry, u go talk now”
They took off my white jean; before that, One of them dug his hand into my back pocket and took my spectranet mifi and N14k cash I was having on me. He Took off my shirt and I was wearing my white inner shirt and boxers as they kept flogging me with a pipe looking hard rubber And I kept telling them I don’t know the guy So one for em asked them to stop And asked them to tie me, hang me and load me and I was like God! What is all this? Where are all this coming from? I was lying on my tummy and they took my hands to my back and tied it firm to my legs.
They put my socks on my hand and tied the rope on it and on my legs, they used my jeans on my legs and tied the rope on it after that, they passed a steel pipe across my back that’s in between my tied hand/legs and my back And two ppl carried me, One on this end and the other on the other end of the steel pipe. They carried me and hung me� that one nor do; They loaded this long cylinder filled wif gas on my back which was in between my tied hand/legs and my back and added two big stones to wedge the gas filled cylinder and on my neck they added 4 heavy rings tied with rope Yet I was still saying I don’t knw dis guy And one of em was like “na there u go die” I lasted ther for roughly 30mins, The pain was much and I was losing my breath; It was like I’ll die in d next minute and what came out of my mouth was “Yes I knw the guy, He sold the phones to me” and they asked for how much and I kept on uttering what I didn’t do because I was under duress and tension.
When they got what they wanted which was Torturing me to make me say what I didn’t do, they brought me down and untied me. “What they did to me will make any human on earth admit what he or she didn’t do... when they untied me, I was still lying on d ground. No part of my body was able to move; They asked me to stretch my hands as They stepped on them gently. I believe that was to make my blood flow again. After like 3-5mins, they asked me to stand up; I tried and managed to stand on my feet and one of them was like “guy u strong o! see werin u do urself, If u don talk since we for no do u all dis one”
Now they took me up stairs, made me relax and asking me if I wanted water, No I said. While sitting, I sat for a while; they were coming and going buh one of them was always with me. So at a time they asked me to come, they took me to the 2nd floor and while we were goin up the stairs one of them said to me “we are going to see our Oga and you’ll tell him everything just like you have told us. I answered ok and in my mind I was like when I get there, I’ll tell their Oga the gospel truth which was “I don’t know the guy and it was all a setup and I said all I said under duress.” On a second thought I was like what if their Oga is same as them. I thought of myself going back to hanging, the pain and all and then I made up my mind to tell their Oga same thing I told them
When we got to their Oga’s office, It was d office of the OC SARS. And one of em was like “Oga This is the person the robber sold the phones to” I greeted their oga jejely and then he asked if I bought the phone from the guy, I told him yes. “How much did u buy the phones” he asked; I told him N50000 and N30000 and he said “you’ll have to go get those phones” while he was talking, a call came through his cellphone; he picked up and left asking us to come back. And they took me and the said robber downstairs and then put me in the cell SMH
Whn I got in there, Nobody touched me. They were like “Fresh fresh fresh from different angles” Wetin u do they asked. I was still looking in shock and didn’t say a thing so they gave me my position, I sat down and a guy next to me was like “Fresh werin happen?” I managed to narrate the whole story and also told him how they hung me and how I admitted a crime I did not commit and he was like “Lemme see ur hands” and then he was looking at my legs and he said “them no hang u joor” if they do, u go get better scars frm dat rope he added. I had to tell him They placed my socks on dat spot and tied the rope on it and did same to the other hand; and on my legs they used my jeans and the guy was like “hmm Dis ppl and money hunt wif this their illegal work”
(And then he told me that the team that arrested him once took him out for that same mission... he narrates “While on their way, they told him they were going to his area in Ketu And when they get there He has to point anybody as they’ll nab the person and do to him exactly what they did to me” he started thinking he said and eventually came up with a plan which was pointing at any of his enemy in his hood he said And after saying that in his mind, He made up his mind to do just that but on getting to his area he came down, looked around and said “All d ppl wey I Dey see no get money” and I asked what he meant by saying dem no get money and he said to me “if dem nab dem na bad market” after clearing them on that, they asked him to get into the car and they brought him my back to the cell. He said he was not comfortable doing that.)
That day passed and the following day was Saturday 23rd sept 2017 They came and said I’ll have to bring those phone and I told them I’ll have to call someone. They brought me off the cell and took me up, handed my phones to me then I called a friend to help me bring an iPhone 6 and any infinix which was their claim and that very day they brought both phones over and gave it to them and while we were waiting to hear what’s next, they team leader said my bail is N500000 “500k” and left immediately. My friend followed him quickly and when he came back he said he dropped the bail to 200k And I was like Tell him 50k and he said He don’t think they’ll collect it And said we can try If they reject it We’ll tell em 100k. He did just that but they rejected it And said we are not serious.
They took me back to d cell and my friend left. After like 20mins, The sgt came to call me again and when I went out to the counter, It was my mom and My sister. My sister was crying already and I saw tears on moms eyes immediately I cleared her saying “I’ve never set my eyes on the person they said I bought the phones from, I don’t know him” and at once My mom nodded and believed all I told her. (She know Wetin her son fit do and Wetin hin no fit do) twale Iya!
A policewoman on her side heard me and started ranting and when the Sgt came She was telling me to repeat wuh I jus told my mom; I did just that and the Sgt was like “ so you’re calling me a liar” When I was trying to talk, It was looking like we wanted to get into an argument then the Sgt said “Oya come and go inside the cell” A policeman was there listening while I was talking And in his face I noticed he was feeling bad So the Sgt sharply took me back And then came back to conclude with mom and they left after that. Mom dropped money for my meals with a woman that sells food. “She was directed to do so when she asked how I’ll feed”
The Sgt already told me and mom they don’t come on Sunday but on Sunday at noon he came to call me took me upstairs And asked me what I was saying about the money; I told him I can get 50k But he said I should take that off my mind saying they won’t collect it. He said he wanted to advice me, If I can come up wif 100k He’ll help me beg them he said. I told him I needed to call my mom, I called and told her and she said ok she’ll get on the road but the sgt said he can’t wait for my mom to come, I had to call my friend who lives close by and he said if that’s the case, He can come with d money now. Then I called mom back asking her to stay back.
While we were waiting for my friend, He took me back to d cell And after like 10-20minz, He came to call me again and when we got upstairs boom! it’s was my friend with the ransom because to me, I was kidnapped and tortured! we greeted and he brought out the money. The Sgt collected it, counted it secretly and then pocketed it. Now he told My friend to get going that he’ll have to smuggle me out and He don’t want anybody to know what he was up to. He gave me my jean, My shoes were nowhere to be found, my watch, my belt, my N14k cash my spectranet mifi too. And he said I can always come for it anytime
I was all ready to be smuggled out of the police command when he gave me one stupid peeled slips And when we about to leave, He asked me to jus wrk boldly. I did as he said And I came out, Entered d car and then drove off... and the following day which was Monday I resumed work and at about 3pm I called the sgt asking him for my belongings esp my spectranet mifi, he said he can’t find it and I asked with him to help me look for it but one of them collected the phone and was like “you Dey craze? Em swear for u? Wetin u Dey use spectranet do? You Dey do yahoo?” I was trying to tell him the mifi is for the entire office buh he banged the phone....
100k cash gone like that, My belt, Shoe, iWatch s2, Spectranet mifi, my body aches for a thing I know nothing of. This is so so creepy
The part two of this story was my journey to the OC SARS office with the chairman of computer village to report the case officially... but it was left unattended to and was swept under the carpet
Few days ago made it the third year this whole thing happened between myself and the FSars, I wrote this back then with too much pain in my heart; I’ll continue to post this every September until I get justice, my items and my money back... forgiveness is a sin!
may God bless my oppressors abundantly and remember! You will for sure rip what u sow... #thanksforreading #GodblessNigeria #GodBlessourGovt #thePoliceisNOTurfrnd #WaZoBia #One9ja
You need to sue them to a court of law for compensation.Do you have medical reports to back up your claims?
VEXT: Why will they arrest him? He was just trying to develop Cambodia... Hard working tribe The richest tribe in Nigeria Other tribes r lazy...
Most of you go out,ruin this country name and then call it zoo.. Even thou I also hate this country, but this act is too bad!!! Three tribes that keep giving this country bad names "Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba "..
We south south r the most God fearing tribe in Nigeria.. We r d head of this country.. Without us,this country will collapse!!
Please declare Niger delta Republic so that Nigeria will collapse.
They never said Hush puppy was a criminal in Nigeria until he was arrested..even thoug they knew he was.
End Yahoo..in nigeria.not sars.
Hushpuppy defrauded people with Russians.Only black man is given bad name.Russia will never accept to extradite its own citizen to USA,they would rather try them in Russian court.
Adakintroy: So you are not even saying Yahoo is bad at all..it's more like catche if you can first..I see your logic.
Some of your shades are clear..you want to go wrong just looking for right justification.
Everyone knows fraud of any kind is wrong.Yahoo boys are not the only fraudster in Nigeria.It starts from stealing public funds,selling fake drugs,duping people in the market space,visa and admission racketeers,your bank is the number fraudster in the world ,the list goes On Yahoo boys are not the only fraudsters,they could be sentenced to community services and repayment of money acquired through fraud.
As an officer,you cannot deprive them of their human rights because he is a suspect unless he is violent and could endager the life of the officer then the suspect can be handcuffed.
Govt should pay unemployment benefits of 40,000 /mth to youths and see the crime rates disappear.
nairanaira12: According to Adakintroy, those guys shouting end SARS in the UK and US are all supporting yahoo Boys.
Boy, you are a dumb idiot
But unfortunately for you, you are even too dumb to know
European yahoo boys dont get treated like thrash.They investigate until the police catch them red handed not the crude way of stop and search in Nigeria.
HAccord: Why should they join you to protest when you stipidly and shot yourself in the foot in 2015 electing this government because you yorubas thought General Buhari was coming to 'deal with the Ibos' because of your rabid SW hate against the East
What other protest is greater than the 'No' vote the East gave this administration in 2015 and 2019?
They've given up on your sophisticated stupidity and rightfully so. This administration is a product of your electoral stupidity, deal with it and leave the East alone.
What is the difference between two fulanis,Atiku and buhari? Ibos voted for Atiku ,Atiku and Buhari are two sides of the same coin.
No be ceasar wey one of those pussy people bring down be this.. The only way they cud have been successful in bringing him down is only tru one set of creature; daughters of jezebel
God save us from the hand of pussy people dt parades themselves women thereby causing the downfall of good and glorious men..
So many destinies have been terminated thru these ladies... Honestly
Make we no go jam agbako
Women are a necessity of life without them we will go into extinction.Men also lead to downfall of women too so it is vice versa.
Nigerian currency the Naira has always been o in a freefall since its creation from the 70’s. I think Nigeria should adopt the British pound as its currency since it is a British created entity.It should be the same currency spent in United Kingdom. What are your thoughts,advise and criticisms?
Emyres: #EndSars Protesters were earlier today left to sleep under the cold weather of the night. The Lagos State CP with his men had removed the tents and sleeping equipments that they brought, but it didn't stop the #EndSars protesters to sleep outside the Lagos State House of Assembly.
Popular Instagram celebrity Mr Macaroni was one of those who slept outside.
Lalasticlala or Mynd44 please help move this to politics or any appropriate section. I don't know how it came under crime section.
Stop allowing fulani police your territory Yoruba police for Yorubaland,Ibos for Iboland and Hausas for Hausaland.
Davash222: As a man, getting married, especially to a Nigerian girl, is one of your greatest mistake you’ll find difficult to accept. This marriage of a thing is just a game orchestrated by women to trap men down. Adam and God was paddy until Eve came.
Stay away from Nigerian girls.
Without Eve ,the human race will go into extinction. You can try breeding with animals like monkey or chimpanzee ,if women are bad.
Yujin: Ignore the OP. He's a fulani on a mission to stir any rift whatsoever among Yorubas. He's been busted before. Derail the thread or let it die a natural death. Baflatani, your time is up.
TimeManager: An ex governor that was beaten to a pulp by his olosho mistress after almost emptying her wares on credit. They want to finish 98% of his life with the penal code of northern Nigeria, then the remaining 2% will be used to hawk gala on the streets of Oshogbo after his release from jail.
kiss the truth!
He should hawk his gala in Imo or Enugu.We dont need jailbird in Yorubaland,our own miscreants are enough for us.
surgical: What is wrong with you guys,what wrong has he done,he has not caused death or harm to any one But you evil ones are after him , while you rehabilitate terrorist,who have caused death,destruction and affected the finances of the country in a negative way,because of the enormous amount spent on fighting insecurity and also the loss of foreign direct investment Focusing on kanu is a misplaced priorities,it exposes the sponsors of those that come here to write rubbish as insecure and being afraid of losing their feeding bottle The sponsors don't want the people liberated meanwhile they don't have any plans to better the lot of the people just to continue to oppress them which is what kanu is against
He could be kidnapped,packaged in a crate and sent to Nigeria like Umaru Dikko.
FarahAideed: You can never make a LovePeddler a housewife ..SnoopDogg
FFK is a narcissist.They always smear their spouses if things dont work.He is on smear campaign to destroy snowhite.No Nigerian man will ever continue a marriage,when he finds his wife on bed with another man.
iamkingdaniel: He'll be proud to call himself a Nigerian cos in this shit hole we respect his skin color over ours, Dude is having his best time here, if he's smart, he'll bid and be awarded contracts too, imagine this dude in the same interview room as yourself... Who them go favor? Enjoy Bro
This happens because Africans are silly.Arabs will never patronise black business over their own.
