ZIMBABWEAN WHITE FARMERS IN TROUBLE IN NIGERIA
Friday, May 18, 2012


White farmers who left Zimbabwe eight years ago to settle in Nigeria are in trouble.

Local farmers in the area where they were settled are demanding their [size=14pt]land back[/size] because they are not benefiting from the activities of the commercial farmers and they have vowed to drive the white farmers out because their benefactor can no longer protect them..

About 14 000 farmers in six communities in the Shonga region of Kwara State sent a petition to the National Assembly last week claiming that they were dying a slow death as a result of the forceful takeover of their farmlands in 2004.

The villagers were moved out by then State governor Bukola Saraki to make room for commercial farmers from Zimbabwe who were given 1 000 hectares.

Bukola was elected to the Nigerian senate last year. The villagers are now up in arms because Bukola can no longer protect the white farmers and is facing fraud charges. They have vowed to “reverse the years of abuse and injustices even if it means adopting the tactics of Niger Delta militants”.

The military in the Niger Delta have been sabotaging the operations of oil companies to get money some of which they have used to develop their own communities.

An irate Chief Muregi Ndanusa fumed: “The land belongs to the people but this is a commercial venture. The Zimbabweans did not pay for the land. They arrived here without a cent in their briefcases; so how can you call them foreign investors?

“This is the most bizarre partnership we have ever seen because the initial capital was provided by tax payers and the bank loans were guaranteed by the state. So, my question is: what did the Zimbabwean farmers bring to the table; these are the question we are taking to the National Assembly”.

Bukola is said to have taken advantage of the plight of the white farmers who were haunted out of Zimbabwe to win international sympathy, and obtained loans from five banks to finance the operations of the farmers.

The farmers operations were hailed as a major success but the locals say they have not been part of that success. The farmers were, for example, supposed to train local youths in modern farming methods but “the youths are still carrying hoes and cutlasses” eight years down the line.

Chief Ndanusa also complained that the white farmers were acting like a colonial force, treating local villagers with little respect and “showing routine contempt for our customs”.

Bukola is accused of mismanaging $433.3 million in state funds.insiderzim

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natives_Land_Act,_1913


The Natives Land Act, 1913 (subsequently renamed Bantu Land Act, 1913 and Black Land Act, 1913; Act No. 27 of 1913) was an act of the Parliament of South Africa aimed at regulating the acquisition of land by "natives", i.e. black people. The Act formed an important part of the system of Apartheid and is of importance for both legal and historical reasons.



The Natives Land Act of 1913 was the first major piece of segregation legislation passed by the Union Parliament, and remained a cornerstone of Apartheid until the 1990s when it was replaced by the current policy of land restitution. The act decreed that only certain areas of the country could be owned by natives. These areas totalled only 13% of the entire land mass of the Union.

Impact The Act created a system of land tenure that deprived the majority of South Africa's inhabitants of the right to own land which had major [b]socio-economic repercussions.[\b] Had the Supreme Court not rendered the Act's application void for a few years it also would have disenfranchised all "natives" in the Cape Colony, where blacks and people of mixed race (Cape Coloureds) had greater political rights than the other provinces as a legacy of British rule. The Act continued in force for some forty years.[\b]

Jungle noises. Scratched out.

The issue is simple.

Where would South Africa be without white people, you ask. Then you formed in the mouth for over 100 pages.

And then lo and behold! Your country has begged white people to come back to Naai-geria. shocked

Everything else is irrelevant.

Naai-geria begging for re-colonisation below, which cancels out everything you've ever said. cry Naai-gerian land freely given to them without so much as a single shot being fired. cry

Say the white farmers:

[b] "The last people to do what we are doing here (in Naai-geria) was in the 1800s (colonisation). We really are pioneers again here."

You needn't answer it - the facts are there for all to see.

Naai-geria begs white Zimbabwean farmers to come and feed Naai-geria.

Clearly, this is a sour grapes situation. The Naai-gerians wish that they had more whites. undecided

Mandela: Like Apartheid South Africa, like Nigeria

IN honouring the late South African president, Dr Nelson Mandela, President Goodluck Jonathan, like his counterparts in different countries of the world, declared three days of mourning for the anti-apartheid hero. In addition, he called for special prayers in our churches and mosques for the repose of Mandela’s soul, and an interdenominational service was held at the Aso Rock Chapel, Abuja, on Sunday, December 8, 2013.
However, I felt that Dr Jonathan should have added that while mourning, we should reflect, individually and as a nation, on those qualities that made Mandela who he was, while praying to God to heal our land of the afflictions obstructing our march to greatness.
Although, Mandela operated in a clime that was quite different from ours; as a matter of fact, he grew up where racial segregation and discrimination determined the inter- group relations among the races that co-habited in his country. By the above, I mean different laws for different races, based on their skin colours. Mandela and his anti-apartheid heroes stood up against the whites. This eventually led to his incarceration. He spent 27 years in jail for his fight for freedom and thereafter, upon his release, mounted the saddle as the first president of a free South Africa. In spite of his bitter experience in jail, denial and persecution, Mandela did not embark on a vengeance mission against his persecutors, he forgave all.
Not only that, unlike most African post-independence leaders, he did not cling to power, but just spent a term and left the stage. This endeared him to the world and won him accolades from different quarters. His virtues included selflessness, forgiveness, love, tolerance, among others.
Nigeria was definitely not an apartheid enclave, but our years during the military rule could be likened to the apartheid period in South Africa’s history. This is because all the evils that happened in Apartheid South Africa were found in Nigeria during the military years. Like in Apartheid South Africa, those who demanded reforms and exit of the military were persecuted, jailed, while many were killed. However, with the attainment of democracy about 14 years ago, had our post-military leadership not wasted the opportunities that democracy offers us? Our people are yet to get rid of primordial sectional interests that are holding the nation down from attaining its destiny. Unlike Mandela, did our leadership not attempt to cling unto power ad infinitum? Why are our elections a matter of life and death and always rigged? Lastly, why is poverty so entrenched in the midst of plenty and corruption so endemic in spite of government’s war to cleanse this country of illegalities?
All ills afflicting our society show that our leaders lack the virtues that made Mandela a hero. These are what we should reflect on and imbibe to heal our land.

Sorry a wolf in sheep's clothing is suspect.

Tolerance yes, Reconciliation no!

[s]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mines_and_Works_Act

This act (with/without/or its amendments) is sometimes referred to as the COLOUR BAR or the COLOUR BAR ACT. The term colour bar, however, usually refers to a group of labor practices, informal trade union practices, government regulations, and legislation, all of which were developed over time to prevent blacks from competing for certain categories of jobs monopolized by whites.

Original 1911 Act
At any rate, this act included various regulations which gave "white workers a monopoly of skilled operations. However, The Act did not specify that blacks should be discriminated against in any way. Indeed it made no mention of race or colour. Nor did it specifically and clearly give the government Mining Engineer powers to introduce a legal colour bar. But under section 4(n) it gave the Governor-General powers to grant, cancel and suspend certificates of competency to mine managers, mine overseers, mine surveyors, mechanical engineers, engine-drivers and miners entitled to blast. It also gave him the power to decide which other occupations should be required to possess certificates of competency.

MINES & WORKS REGULATIONS ACT of 1912

Some or other commission had criticized mine managements for employing large numbers of unskilled whites 'often entirely ignorant of mining, and whose principal and often only recommendation is their physical fitness and their suitability for rough work'. Yet when the commission reported in 1910, it submitted draft regulations that were heavy with colour bars. Some appeared in the interpretation of terms, as when the words 'white person' were inserted in the definition of banksman, onsetter, ganger and mine manager. Some took the form of an injunction to employ only whites in specified occupations, such as blasting, running elevators, driving engines, supervising boilers and other machinery; or as shift boss and mine overseer. Furthermore, only whites would be allowed to obtain the certificates of competence required, for instance, by engine drivers and boiler attendants. With some modifications, these draft regulations served as model for the MINES & WORKS REGULATIONS ACT of 1912.

MINES & WORKS AMENDMENT ACT of 1926

In contrast to the 1912 REGULATIONS, this Act bracketed Coloured with whites in a position of privilege. For there was no question of segregating the coloured who spoke the Afrikaner's language, shared his outlook and stood closer to one than to Africans. Furthermore, the key section of this act "stated that the minister, before announcing regulations for issuing certificates of competency (including the key blasting certificate, for nearly a century of license of the white miner), should seek the advice of the owners and of the organizations whose members hold a majority of the certificates, that is, the white unions, including the Mine Worker's Union. He was to do this through the formation of advisory committees". This act was further revised in 1956 to deal with the declaration of work in the national interest.

I didn't read the rest.

Answer the simple question:

Are the "civilised bleks" of Naai-geria happy to "tolerate" the food of white farmers, whom they clearly have begged for in their country?

You had a chance to not have whites in Naai-geria, but you begged them to come back. undecided

So, answer the question. Yes or no. No long stories.



CraigB:

Is that why the "civilised bleks" have been crying for Zimbabwe's white farmers to feed them?

They can reconcile with the white farmers' food? grin

Face it - it's sour grapes because the whites, whom you believe are gods, left Naai-geria a century too early.

Zimbabwean farmers grow Nigeria's green revolution
By Jonah Fisher
BBC News, Nigeria
24 August 2011 Last updated at 00:58

Alan Jack flew his dairy cows from South Africa to Nigeria
Seven years ago a small group of Zimbabweans were invited to lead Nigeria's green revolution. Forced off their farms by Robert Mugabe's land reforms, this was their chance to start again.

The offer from the west Nigerian state of Kwara was an attractive one. Fertile land, generous loans and political backing in return for their expertise.

The Zimbabweans needed work and the Nigerians wanted to show that Africa's economic giant could move from importing almost all of its food to feeding itself. On paper at least it appeared a good match.

"People said you're crazy to go up there," Pete du Toit, one of the farmers says with a smile as he remembers the first discussions in 2004. "The impression we had of Nigeria at that stage was very bad. Crime, drugs, corruption."

Mr du Toit is now one of the Shonga Farm's success stories.

Each of the 13 men who travelled north were given 1,000 hectares near the Niger River to run as a separate business entity. Mr du Toit chose what has so far proved to be one of the more successful ventures - chickens.

Four hundred hectares of his land has been turned into fields of soya. It is then processed and used to fatten up chicks in two specially cooled henhouses. Nigeria's top supermarkets now buy his birds.

"By applying the right techniques and the right fertilizers I've got a very good farm, a very fertile farm," Mr du Toit says.

Not everyone has been so fortunate. As I catch up with Alan Jack he is deep in conversation with a representative from Shonga Farm.

Court jails woman five years for cannibalism

JUNE 6, 2013 BY ETIM EKPIMAH, UYO

Itu High Court in Itu Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State, has sentenced a 30-year-old woman, Mrs. Blessing Edet, to five years for cannibalism.

Edet had on December 29, 2010, during a brawl, bit the ear of her neighbour, Mrs. Edidiong Edet, chewed and swallowed the same.

Edet and Edidiong were living in the same house at Enen Afaha Itam area of the state.

The presiding judge, Justice Godwin Abraham, condemned the act by Edet, describing it as barbaric. He warned her to desist from criminal activities.

Abraham, before pronouncing the jail term on Edet, said the accused committed the offence and caused grievous bodily harm to the victim contrary to Section 344 of the Criminal Code 2000 Law of Akwa Ibom State.

Abraham said, “This honourable court, hereby sentences the accused person, Mrs. Blessing Edet, to a five-year jail term as a first offender. This will serve as a deterrent to others.”

The convict remained impassive during the proceeding and after the judgement. Her husband, Ifiok, handed their one-year-old baby to Blessing to serve prison term with her.

Meanwhile, three other persons accused of murdering Captain Eno Udoh (retd) have been remanded in prison custody till June 27, 2013.

Nnamso Okon, Victor Elijah and one unidentified person were alleged to have conspired and murdered Udoh in September 30, 2010.

They, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Who's expecting the world of South Africans? All I said was SA killed +700 innocent Somali shop keepers.



Which facts? I did not find it necessary to be that specific earlier because it was obvious who I was talking about. Anyone that burns people alive or flogs them is a savage in my eyes.



A tyrant dictator and his opposition made Somalia they way it is today but you still won't see non Somalis lit up because of greed and xenophobia.



Why shouldn't we enjoy peace in SA when they enjoyed peace in our land when they were under the Apartheid rule? Why don't black SAs show Somalis the same support we showed them during their dark days?
Somalis do have a government but it is in it's infant stages, the main priorities are peace and stability until the terrorists are rooted out of the rest of the country. Failed state it might be this today but it won't be soon enough.

Still, then - it's not your place to decide how South Africans, black and white should deal with that. The constitution is ours and was negotiated by us. You aren't part of our social contract and you come from a society where black life is considered cheap by other black people. Your society failed to set up a workable social contract.

No one said you shouldn't enjoy peace. But you need to understand where you are relatively before you start calling others names and demanding the world of them. Strictly speaking and legally, you should be living in refugee camps in South Africa. But you are allowed to integrate freely in this society of black and white people that you now want to say stuff about.

Have a look at your brothers in refugee camps in Ethiopia. This is how the people that you share most in common with treat you.

Further down, your brothers arrive on a beach in Yemen.

Further still - a dead Somali refugee in Yemen. undecided

http://dailypost.com.ng/2013/12/12/breaking-boko-haram-leader-shekau-claims-attack-military-vows-bomb-america/

Boko Haram spiritual leader, Abubakar Shekau, has claimed responsibility for December 2 attacks on military formations, Daily Trust has reported.

Shekau, who spoke in Arabic, Hausa and Kanuri in a 40 minutes recorded video, rejoiced over the successful attack on Nigerian forces and vowed to extend the “crusade” to the shores of the United States of America.

The sect had attacked the 79 Composite Group of the Nigerian Air Force in Maiduguri, destroying five aircrafts and buildings. It also bombed the 333 Artillery Regiment in Maiduguri, destroying structures and vehicles.

Although the Nigerian Army claimed that 25 insurgents were killed that day, Shekau in the new video rubbished the claim, saying seven of his men died. He also claimed that “many soldiers” lost their lives.

In the video, Shekau said, “This message is intended as a glad tiding. Allah the Almighty has given us victory in the attack we launched inside Maiduguri (which was) called Borno in ancient times.

“We stormed the city and fought them (and) Allah blessed us with lots of booty. Three of our men carried out suicide bombings, three of our men died from bullets, one of them died from friendly fire and not from your bullet. May Allah accept them as Martyrs and may we attain such honour.

“Useless, stupid America! If you could do anything you would have done it in your country. Vagabond. You are boasting you are going to join force with Nigeria to crush us, bloody liars. You couldn’t crush us when we were carrying sticks. Is it today when we storm your barracks and commandeered your things one after the other?

“By Allah, we will never stop. Don’t think we will stop in Maiduguri, tomorrow you will see us in America. Our operation is not confined to Nigeria, it is for the whole world

...and you are scared of armed robbers in south africa. while bishop tutu was watching mandela's dead body at the stadium his house was being robbed, he could have been made to join mandela in the grave if the robbers met him at home grin

bullets are flying on the streets all over south africa grin

"In August, robbers broke into Tutu's Cape Town home while he and his wife Leah were sleeping. The two weren't harmed. In 2007, thieves broke into his home in Johannesburg's Soweto township and stole, among other things, his Nobel Prize medal. Police later recovered it. grin

Child's play!

We are looking at mass killings in Naai-geria. Not burglary. Naai-geria doesn't even pay attention to the mass killings because this sort of behaviour is part of who they are.

Mass killings largely ignored in 2 Nigerian states, rights group says


(CNN) -- Horrific ethnic and religious violence resulting in "mass murder" and other abuses in two central Nigerian states has largely gone ignored by the authorities, rights group Human Rights Watch said Thursday.
Its report, focused on Plateau and Kaduna states, is based on interviews with more than 180 witnesses and victims of violence as well as police investigators, prosecutors, defense lawyers, judges and community leaders.
Many of the victims, including women and children, Christians and Muslims, "were hacked to death, burned alive, or shot simply based on their ethnic or religious identity," said the report, "Leave Everything to God: Accountability for Inter-Communal Violence in Plateau and Kaduna States, Nigeria."
And a seeming culture of impunity has created a cycle of violence as individuals who find no recourse elsewhere seek retribution for wrongs done to them, it said

"Witnesses came forward to tell their stories, compiled lists of the dead and identified the attackers, but in most cases nothing was done," said Daniel Bekele, Africa director at Human Rights Watch.
"The authorities may have forgotten these killings, but communities haven't. In the absence of justice, residents have resorted to violence to avenge their losses." dot, dot, dot.

You are right, no one forced Somalis to go to South Africa, the Somali civil war did and like most refugees, they tend to wander a lot as you said. Somalis found peace in South Africa untill recent years where the savage, yes savage South Africans flogged and burnt them to death. If the people doing such acts are not savages then please do educate me on the meaning of the word 'savage'. I'm not saying all South Africans are savages but what I'm saying is the ones that are killing people in such manner are savages. Similarly, the criminal Somalis are savages too regardless if they're in Somalia or other places.

I see what's bothering you, I put the blame on the white South Africans like yourself. I still stand by my words whether you like it or not. South Africa would have been a much better place for the locals were it not for you whites usurping most of the country's wealth and resources. Then again that's my opinion right.

@Z3tdee I hear you.

What bothers me has nothing to do with how you feel about white people. I'm used to it. I understand that it's easy for people like you to blame white South Africans for everything or to say all sorts of negative things, while flocking to South Africa. undecided

South Africans of all races have a social contract, which they agreed to in 1994 - and which is enshrined in our constitution. South Africans are obligated to each other in various ways and they are busy navigating the seas of democracy while they try to rebuild the country. It's up to black South Africans to decide how they want to deal with white South Africans. I don't worry too much about negative statements coming from people that aren't part of the social contract.

What bothers me is the tendency of Africans outside South Africa to expect the world of South Africans - black South Africans, in particular - as though they are gods. Now, you expect that people should be mature enough to understand that Somalia deals with terrorism and whatever else that you listed.

Yet, you are happy to not afford South Africans the same courtesy. You brandish words like "savage" about, as if all South Africans attack Somalis. Now that you've been bombarded with facts, you suddenly feel the need to refine your statements and talk about "South Africans who engage in such acts". Why did you not find it necessary to be specific, earlier? Is black South African bashing a hobby in Africa? Why?

"Apartheid made black South Africans like that", you say. Quite rich, don't you think? Very rich, given that Somalia had no apartheid, yet black-on-black murder reigns supreme in that country. So, what made Somalis the way they are?

Peace and security are the primary obligation of government. It's the first clause in a social contract. Now, Somalis don't have a government that can meet its primary obligation in Somalia. The government was destroyed by Somalis themselves. Now, you want to talk about enjoying peace in other lands. You aren't even kept in refugee camps in South Africa - which you should be.

It's very simple. If South Africans are too "savage" for your liking, stay in Somalia where everyone is apparently civilised.

The "whether you like it or not" bit will not change facts about why you are wanderers. It's self-created by your very own savages. And there must be lots of them, considering that Somalia is a failed state today.

Yeah because Alshabaab are Somali people and they work with the government right?
Somalia is past the civil war now, we are fighting against terrorists.

And for you to justify the actions of your fellow South Africans by saying that Somalis kill each other so South Africans should kill Somalis too is a fuccked way of thinking. Who gave you guys the right to kill innocent shop keepers? Bear in mind they are not taking your money, homes or jobs. They set up shops in your dammned townships to earn a living and you burn them alive? Is that how you justify the horrendous acts of your countrymen?

No one forces you to go to South Africa - Number 1.

You can't deny the fact that savage Somalis kill other Somalis, which is why you are now a wandering people - Number 2.

So, your calling others "savage" is quite rich, especially given that your people are chased by your own brothers from your land - and can't stop going to South Africa. undecided - Number 3.

South Africans owe themselves a better country. They owe no one else anything -Number 4.

If you can't show yourselves love and respect in Somalia, don't expect South Africans to do what you cannot do. As you said, you only have yourselves to blame. If you were more civilised in Somalia, you wouldn't have to deal with South African "savages".

No justification for anything. Just facts - for the sake of completeness.

If what I said is erroneous, show me where it is erroneous.

AU to adopt SA military initiative

Johannesburg - The African Union (AU) will establish a new military force following a suggestion from South Africa, the international relations and co-operation department said on Tuesday.

"On Monday... the African Union summit [in Ethiopia] adopted a historic decision to establish the African Capacity for Immediate Response to Crises [ACIR], at the initiative of South Africa," said spokesperson Clayson Monyela in a statement.

The proposal was made to tackle ongoing obstacles to peace and security which undermined democratically elected governments.

The AU did not at the moment have an immediate response mechanism, as the process of implementing the African Peace and Security structure was ongoing, said Monyela.

The proposed ACIR was an interim measure, pending the African Standby Force's (ASF) commencement of operations and rapid deployment capability.

Troop commitments

The ACIR was, therefore, not a new concept, but built on the principles of the ASF.
"This interim measure will further provide African countries with the flexibility to take concrete measures to address the challenges in the interim," he said.

This would allow the process of getting the ASF into operation to take place.

President Jacob Zuma told the summit that South Africa stood ready to provide support to deal with urgent matters of the continent.

Following South Africa's pledge of assistance, other countries also pledged their support, and readiness, to contribute to the ACIR.

Monyela said: "South Africa's initiative has thus received broad consensus from member states of the African Union and has been adopted as a decision of the summit."

Asked by Sapa whether any troop commitments had been made by South Africa at this stage, Monyela said that would be "running ahead of the process".
