Crime / Letter To All Cultists by Foreignnews: 6:22pm On Mar 18, 2020
Dear Cultist, let's talk a little, let us reason together.

How do you feel belonging to a group that the society is not proud of?

How do you feel belonging to a group whereby you are on your own, someone will cause trouble somewhere and you will running? I mean something that is not your business.

How do you feel belonging to a group that resorts to the use of guns and other violent equipment in defense of you, does it mean you are a weakling?

If cultism is that good, why are you not proud to flaunt it publicly? Why hold your meetings in the bush and at night? What if snake bite you inside that Bush one day? Wetin you go tell us happened to you?

I know most of you joined out of ignorance, some of you out of peer pressure, some where forced into it, and some of you joined to gain fake protection etc.

A cultist is a weakling. He depends on violence to survive. He is not strong enough to face the society. They believe in the use of force and violence to achieve whatever they wants. No personal effort or determination to succeed. He is always afraid... Afraid of the law, afraid of the people, afraid of the unknown. A cultist lives in fear, and I ask, how does that befit you?

Have you now seen that you would have done better if you were never a cultist? You would have been a free man if you never joined cultism. If cultism is good wouldn't you have put it in your CV?

Culture / The Giant Phythons Of Ihiala, Anambra State by Foreignnews: 3:23am On Mar 18, 2020
In many places in Igboland, the python is regarded as a ‘sacred being’ which no one is expected to kill, harm or maltreat. It is an age-long observance because to most Igbo communities, Eke or python is seen as the symbol of the sea or river goddess. It protects and provides for the people, both in terms of wealth, fertility and long life. To the people, eke is a harmless ‘being’ and it is actually harmless to those who do not kill it. To them, eke symbolises peace, prosperity and abundance, especially in the waters.

At Umuohi, Okija, in Ihiala local government area of Anambra state, a man called Ukata Nnanna in an interview gave a clearer picture of why the eke has come to be regarded as being so sacred and in some places is worshipped as a goddess.

"The story of eke we have heard is sacred and different. But before we go on, it is good to point out that the mystery surrounding eke is greater than most of us can actually understand. Our own case is quite peculiar. In the olden days, our people used to provide shelter for strangers. This was how the issue of eke became a symbol of respect and regards here in our village", Nnanna said, grinning and shaking his head repeatedly.

"There was one certain aged widow who was said to have been driven away by her husband people. She set out on a journey, a journey she did not know where it would take her. When she got to Umuohi, Okija, she stopped and begged our people to provide a place for her to rest her feet. She was by then too tired to continue on her way.

"Our people did not only give her a place to settle down, she was also asked to remain with us. Without knowing it, our people had given shelter and hope to a woman with plenty of mysterious powers. Before the woman died she made a lot of promises to our people. In the first place she asked that her house be built by the riverside. No one knew why she made that sort of request. But then at her death she decreed that no Umuohi woman should be maltreated by her husband people. And wherever she is married to, on the first night of her arrival, a python would appear to encourage and strengthen her. To date, this situation still exists; that once an Umuohi woman is being threatened at her husband’s place, a python appears, sometimes a very big one that would frighten people out of their wits. For this reason, a lot of people are sceptical about marrying an Umuohi woman.

"The woman did not even die. She turned into eke. She lives inside the Okpu stream or if you like river, which is along Owerri-Onitsha road, Anambra state. There you can see this big python and it comes out once the sun is out to suntan. This is what it does everyday. It is so huge that a lot of people are scared of it," Nnanna stressed. "But we the Umuohi people are not," he boasted.

The python which is called eke ogwugwu-mili therefore is said to be the mother of all the pythons that litter the length and breath of Igboland. Today, anyone who kills or maims eke either knowingly or unknowingly is compelled to buy all the necessary materials with which to bury it. These range from white cloth, to coffin, kola nuts, white chalk and so on. The coffin would be placed in a conspicuous place where passers-by are wont to pay condolences and show some sign of remorse. Where one fails to bury the eke in the traditional way, more stringent punishments will be placed on him and members of his family. Sometimes he would be ostracised or banished from the land depending on the circumstances of the death of the python. Some even have small pox sickness placed on them.

It is because of all these that eke does not bite the natives of Okija and other places where these observances are made. If eke bites one by error, all it does is to hiss, and then the bite will have no effect on the person. Even then, Christians also obey the law; they too do not kill eke. Why would anyone kill it when it does not harm him? Some people would often ask.

Religion / Letter From Satan To Humans Written In 1676 Has Finally Been Translated by Foreignnews: 12:16pm On Mar 15, 2020
After 300 years of darkness, light have finally been shed on a letter which was claimed to be written by the devil.

A Sicilian nun woke up one day with ink all over her body and she had a letter which she claimed was written by the devil as he possessed her.

This letter was not deciphered until recently when a software found on the dark web decrypted the message.

When the letter was written by the possessed nun as she claimed, it could not be deciphered so it was passed down for centuries.

A team decoded the message. See the meaning of the word on:- https://043nobs.com.ng/2020/03/15/letter-from-satan-to-humans-written-in-1676-has-finally-been-translated/

Culture / Yoruba/igbo Original African Unity Essential To Collective Survival Of Humanity by Foreignnews: 11:46am On Mar 15, 2020
I have written a lot about how, without a Yoruba/Igbo Original African alliance across South and Middlebelt, the Fulani Afroasiatic hegemony can’t be defeated especially towards 2023. However it goes far deeper than uniting to gain control of the reins of power and destiny of Nigeria. It involves saving humanity.

A few times especially about 50 000 years ago, following the Indonesian super volcanic eruption, the Sun was blocked and the world dried out into an Ice Age, whereby humanity could only survive in Southern Nigeria and the Central Eurasian cave complex, where we became white people. Humanity only survived in Nigeria. Now once again we are reaching another epoch with global warming and we need to save the last vegetation, the true Eden.

Putting religious and ethnic agenda aside, the Fulani herdsmen are heading south because the North has dried up. Lake Chad and many rivers have dried up, and humans will do everything to survive. Due to their Abrahamist mindset, they justify their aggresions in the name of God. As I have always stated, I don’t hate any group of humans no matter what atrocities they have committed against my people.

I see everything clearly as interests, and there are no permanent friends or enemies but permament interests.

Now, some may argue that the poverty and Islamic agenda are enough reasons to justify breaking up Nigeria into Odua and Biafra, but fail to realize that borders can never stop a hungry and thirsty people from beating immigration walls. They will enter dig a tunnel or jump over it. Instead of sitting down to die of thirst, they would rather die fighting for their survival – shout down the walls of Jericho. So we must look for a win win situation or be guaranteed of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD). Make we no go Mad oo, hmmm!

Therefore what can be done. First we must take control of the country and put some major changes in place which the Fulani can’t do themselves. Cow meat has too much of a carbon footprint and must be stopped urgently. Already, the Fulani herdsmen have moved the cows into our rainforests and if care is not taken our rich forest from Ogun state into Ondo state and Delta to Cross River will become barren. Now, our lowland rainforest supplies a significant percentage of the oxygen required by the world. If those forests go, we will be in serious trouble which will grow exponentially.

So, the question is what will the Fulani and other Afroasians in the North survive on? Unfortunately, the misguided Northern leadership is fixated on crude oil, which in itself is also part of the world’s ecological problems. The right thing to do is to cover most parts of Northern Nigeria with solar panels which will supply energy needs of the world and bring in huge returns greater than herding.

Most important is that the solar panels covering the desert soil, would keep away the heat and reduce lost of moisture, which will enable the growth of vegetables.

This would eventually bring about more rain, the energy will be used to bring up water from deep inside the Earth crust, and the ecosystem will change. The North neither has the resources, political will as invaders or knowhow to do this and would need the help of Southern Nigeria to make this turnaround.

And even after this we must ensure our water supplies are not poisoned with electronic waste by our smartphones by 2041.

Buratai says it'll take up to 10 years to de-radicalise the youths Boko Haram have indoctrinated.


Chief Of Army Staff, Maj. Gen, Tukur Yusuf Buratai Boko Haram as a radical group started over 40 years ago.. [hausa.leadership]
Since the Nigerian military killed Yusuf Muhammed, the founder of Boko Haram in July 2009, the Nigerian army has not been able to wipe out the terrorist group, but the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai has an explanation for the resurgence of the terrorist group.

Explaining why it’s been difficult for the army to end insurgency in Nigeria, Buratai said Boko Haram leaders and recruiters live in communities and also mix with the local population.

He said the terrorists have been able to operate for many years because of their mode of operation; use of propaganda and hardcore ideology.

In an interview with Daily Trust, the army chief believes the war against Boko Haram has improved from what it used to be years ago, but admitted that there has been a ‘minimal resurgence’ lately.

He said, “Insurgency is not what you defeat and it would just fizzle out; they would revert to other tactics. That is terrorism.
