I dey here for them.

Giving them PTSD is my favorite pastime.

Wa-lie-ta-lie

Thank goodness you are but not too many of us want to deal with their ugly sights everyday.

Without someone like you willing to take them on, the misinformation they have spread over a decade on more have caused disaffection with close families.

We were thinking nobody in their right senses would believe them. But if you repeat lies so many times, even perpetrators would start believing themselves.

All these in the name of freedom of speech.

Dislike button will only encourage hate mongers.

These fake Bini revisionists are something else. They waste so much time trying to revise history common to all.

This only started in the 80s because a Yoruba Oba of Bini went home to Ife and came back annoyed that he was not well received.

No matter how you guys revise it, the Court has spoken and the Ogiso/Ogiamen will never accept Oba. Oba will always "rent" his place during coronation.

E tu IBB?

Dancing on Buhari's grave while still alive.

Every Economic indicator from Income to GDP have declared Nigeria the poorest.

How did we get here from the richest and the country to be?

Even a live cow, head or tail coin, village people and weather predictors could have ruled better than Nigerians Militricians.

Hypocrisy of Oyinbo stinks to heaven.

After identifying Buhari as a long time terrorist, he still got visa out for some silly Education conference. He will use that to get medical treatment he refused to provide in his country at the cost of equipping or building hospitals that would cater for many.

Yet, his people would justify this.

Goodluck Jonathan could have easily been the best. What a waste of goodwill from all Nigerians regardless of ethicity or region.

What a loss

Well, I thought they were talking about the overthrow of our Government.

No O!

Nigerians call these countries civilized climes. Most of them are worse than Africans. Stop calling yourselves derogatory names. These people are blood suckers and flesh eaters.

General Mark Milley Joint Chiefs chairman worried Trump would attempt a coup.

Africans must remind the outside world that even before Madela and Mbeki skilful hands in South Africa, Western Nigeria was better managed than many European countries and Nkrumah proved that a small African country like Ghana could lead the fight to liberate South Africa. Indeed, if it was not for the mismanagement of Africa by planted Afrikaners and Fulani working for the interest of their cousins in foreign countries, Africa could have been better off.

SOUTH AFRICANS PLEASE: RIOTS FOR ONE LAWLESS LOOTER

Former President of South Africa, Jacob Gedleyyihlekisa Zuma has been in South African politics since 1959 and he was among the 45 activists arrested with Nelson Mandela that served 10 years on Robben Island (Mandela University). Jacob Zuma had violated legitimate laws with impunity several times until the law finally caught up with him.

This is the man some Zulu are ready to die for in the hands of militia, Police and Army? Some former Presidents still command followers. It is why folks say a country deserves the leader they elected. Zuma deserves some respect for his past as an activist. Indeed, no leader is perfect anywhere when it comes to hedonic tendencies or misogyny of culture within culture.

We as Africans have to set some moral standard under which we are ready to go out and fight at the risk of our lives. Ethnic loyalty regardless of the intransigence of a man at the expense and indulgence of his own ethnic group does not deserve our empathy. Africans are not blind and we know when to fight against oppressors, no matter where they come from. We cannot shield a law breaker that refused to pay according to the rules like anyone else.

It is one obvious display of impunity when an ethnic group marginalizes another or some planted colonial groups claim privileges over the natives. But anger, riots and demonstrations at the risk of lives must be justified by moral and legal standards that most reasonable Africans can freely and unashamedly support. Other ethnic groups in South Africa would be asking themselves if this latest riot was based on fairness and justice they can support.

Africans riot when a respectable ethnic leader is treated like a common criminal for no demonstrable offence other than fighting for the Rights of his people. When people are suffering from years of oppression under the Apartheid rule put in place by Afrikaners, we should expect a short fuse to let out years of repressed anger. But this latest riot falls far short of an excuse. Others saw an excuse for criminals to plunge the country into chaos.

Like some European and Asian states that failed based on ethnic, religious and economic injustice, some African states have also failed. Countries that Africa has supported and turned into economic giants through slavery and natural resources are rejecting our Youths by closing their borders or sending them back into the sea and deserts.The harsh poverty in villages, towns and cities turned many of us into economic refugees at home and abroad.

If South Africa fails, where are they migrating to as they did during Apartheid? Even little countries like Belarus and Lithuania which Parliament recently approved the mass deportation of migrants are hostile. These are countries that were the poorest in Europe when many African countries were enjoying comfortable standards of living and Firsts In Western Nigeria where Asians and Europeans came to make a living sending money to families during famine.

So, what is the excuse of African refugees seeking Asylum anywhere? Oh, our corrupt leader that violated laws and abused us was thrown into jail and so we rioted! Africans, if you destroy your own countries, call them all kinds of names because you chose to install corrupt leaders, no country outside your village would allow you to turn their land into the same hopelessness as yours. We must fix your countries and stop rioting for looters you should have banished.

No President or leader, no matter how highly placed is above the law. It is a message we must send to the Youths that those aspiring to be leaders must come with attractive and exemplary character. Any leader elected out of spite will also spite his own people. Zuma was a former President. He should not have generated so much bad blood, not to mention the worst riot since Apartheid era.

South Africa is one of the countries in Africa with the highest Gross Domestic Product after Nigeria. Some people even postulated insultingly that it was because South Africa was managed by the planted white population (Afrikaners) and as soon as Africans took over, it would degenerate into poverty like other African countries. South Africa attracted other Africans until the disadvantaged and angry youths turned against their brothers and sisters.

Leaders like Nelson Mandela and Thambo Mbeki proved most of the pessimists wrong because Africans produced leaders that were capable, better and with more equitable management of all people regardless of race and ethnic groups. After Mandela and Mbeki, Zuma got himself involved in one mess or the other. Even those willing to overlook his shortcoming or immoral behavior have been blinded by his impunity against the law.

Africans must remind the outside world that even before Madela and Mbeki skilful hands in South Africa, Western Nigeria was better managed than many European countries and Nkrumah proved that a small African country like Ghana could lead the fight to liberate South Africa. Indeed, if it was not for the mismanagement of Africa by planted Afrikaners and Fulani working for the interest of their cousins in foreign countries, Africa could have been better off.

Those waiting for South Africa to fail like some other African countries should hide their heads in shame. Their reliable biggest democracy almost failed, nursed a military coup and has not recovered from January 6th riot after the fairest election in the country. Before you point to any country, cure the log in your eyes. As indicated before,every country deserves the leader they elected. We cannot blame just one leader, people elected each one for selfish interest!

Africans are the most tolerant people that have accommodated foreigners where all cultures got along until they took advantage of our generosity turning to enemies within to capture. Their Governments have sent Armies to reinforce their cultures as “guests” within Africa. We now live in a world where the so-called “civilized” people have exposed themselves as worse than Africans when they cannot get their way by the same democracy they preach outside.

Unlike Nigeria, South Africa cannot blame planted foreigners within us for this riot. If anything, this riot embarrasses us as Africans wherever we are. Our distractors have been praying for this to happen to justify their false sense of “superior” culture. How fast do they forget the role of Russia in the Brexit and 2016 American elections, even when internal intelligence warned?

We are not going back to the support King Buthelezi got during the Apartheid days while he was actively working for those that were against South Africa’s self determination interest. The bloodshed was too much to even imagine again. There are many lessons learned from those days. This same Jacob Zuma, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) founder Julius Malema and Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini, castigated Buthelezi then.

Who is castigating Jacob Zuma now?

I agree with you.

But how could such a promising prospect as Jonathan squander his goodwill given to him from every part of the country to pave way to a worse disaster?

Nigeria should not have resigned itself to the less of two evils when we elected a minority for the first time that is well educated.

Who deserve more blame Jonathan or Buhari.

The South had the opportunity and wasted it.

Jonathan, with all your potential, you were led by the nose into arrogance and impunity.

See your life?

Well, you are not far from the truth. But poverty contributes more to suicide than wealth.

In Nigeria, some part only care about today since they think God will take care of tomorrow. Even in very cold countries where homeless are forced into shelter, some of them escape shelters and a few freeze to death. Not because they want to commit suicide but because they prefer free living with no responsibility. One even claimed he did not like shelters because it is crowded and smelly.

Another part of Nigeria you may know is where people would rather die trying to be rich or commit suicide. They feel they have nothing to live for and that support your point. The third part of Nigeria, lazy poor people hang unto friends and relatives almost like a parasite rather than commit suicide.

The high number of suicide in Nigeria today is an aberration. Nigerians hardly commit suicide. Some years ago, a suicide bomber was paid to blow off a big building in Abuja with a truck loaded with gasoline. Trust Nigerians then, he put a heavy stone on the accelerator to blow the building off. The truck got stuck.

We don't commit suicide, especially over money we could not enjoy. This was why it was a surprise then that a Nigerian was the underwear bomber trying to blow the plane off in the US. But now suicide everywhere.

Londonboyrep:
I think I know why it’s mostly wealthy people that commit suicide. My analogy is this : most poor people when they are depressed always think ‘if only I had money’ things would be better. The prospect of becoming rich 1 day keeps them from taking their lives. They could win the lottery for example. With rich people,when they are depressed there is always the feeling of hopelessness and its usually about things they cannot change i.e sexuality, someone not loving them back, long term illness or even the thought of becoming poor due to debts.

Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan knows Yoruba well but it took him this long to confirm Yoruba egalitarianism.

When is he going to thank Obasanjo publicly.

Jonathan, a well talented academic, that gave hope from North to South became a missed opportunity.

Mumugu,

By your name, read the topic and move on or come back and read the intro.

Democracy Day is bigger than one person. Abiola himself was a victim of June 12th after sponsoring a few coups.

Nevertheless, he won votes across the country more than any politician.

Jonathan also did before he messed up but got second most popular votes after Abiola.

Nigeria a country of less evil leaders.

Africans and African Americans delight in tracing their origins to Irish, Portuguese, English or Arab slave masters that raped their great grandmother and sold the children into slavery.

The Hausa do the same especially in West and East Africa. Many bleach their skins make their point.

How many pink colored skins have claimed you, even with one drop of their blood?

Look for your Sudanese ancestors.

All President men on medical visits dying in Europe and America will die at home.

Really missed the days Nigerians were trusted and respected worldwide.

Sometimes wonder if those days would come again.

Africans are honest, dedicated and modest when placed in intercontinental and Trans-African positions outside their own country. It may be hard to believe that if some of the same folks are placed in responsible positions at home, they become looters. It boils down to the fact that they realize they are being watched and would lose prestigious positions if caught with their hands in the cookie jar in a different (sometimes hostile) environment.

African Union Needs Foreign Loan Acceptance Commission
May 22, 2021

The present foreign loans are working against Africa. If we were crawling from the past four centuries with African technology, we would be better than where we are today. The point of the Acceptance Commission is transparency and the economic benefit of loans rather than personal favors to negotiators. Those that are competent and skillful in managing financial transactions must not be influenced by kickbacks but subjected to viability of projects.

Africans are honest, dedicated and modest when placed in intercontinental and Trans-African positions outside their own country. It may be hard to believe that if some of the same folks are placed in responsible positions at home, they become looters. It boils down to the fact that they realize they are being watched and would lose prestigious positions if caught with their hands in the cookie jar in a different (sometimes hostile) environment.

Indeed, those Africans that were suspected of wrongdoing and watched for any misstep came out clean after a probe. Koffi Annan as UN Secretary General and Akinwumi Adesina as the President of African Development Bank were exonerated of suspicious activities. So it is a relief that Africa has produced men and women of impeccable characters for inter-country and international offices in health, law and business. The crooks among Africans have not lived up to or been denied reputable positions outside their home countries.

One of Kwame Nkrumah's ideas was a unified African voice to reject the disadvantageous divide and unfair trade tactics of the outside world. It was Cocoa that Nkrumah tried to use in order to break price dictation by Western consumers; not only by cooperation of African countries but world cocoa producers. They capitulated and let short term pain of the Cocoa Embargo cloud their long term gain to the disappointment of Nkrumah.

Though the Cocoa Embargo failed earlier, the 1972 Arab Oil Embargo worked later and turned oil producers into rich countries on the long run; except African countries that wasted the Oil Embargo windfall profit on individual personal aggrandizement. One country actually used the oil income to buy the worst abject poverty in the world. Unified action against exploitation of resources and manpower does not mean surrender of sovereignty.

If there is anything to learn from Africa's failure to implement development, take care of their people with earned income from natural resources; it is the misuse of foreign loans. African countries so far send their skilled personnel to intercontinental and African Union. There are also international bodies that evaluate the efficacy of international loans, assistance and aids.

There is no reason we cannot have the same bodies in Africa Union, even as a transparent advisory body to expose the realities, conditions and terms of each of these loans.

There is a general fact that Africa is still hemorrhaging resources and income. The solutions for blocking most avenues of loss must come from different angles. Some of those abetting and encouraging the bleeding will present themselves as problem solvers are looking for loopholes to sabotage the system. Otherwise, these problems could have been solved years ago. If anything, Africa has been getting poorer and financial problems getting worse. Some have given up claiming crooked Africans are deft in exploring loopholes.

While it is true that some lenders forgave some debts of the poorest African countries recently, the relatively wealthy countries with attractive natural resources were left out since they have the means to pay back. Though most of them cannot demonstrate the initial projects the loans were used for. This is facetious because lenders have other interests when African countries default. See Easier To Capture With Loans Than Guns.

While Presidents have claimed they are using these loans for projects that will pay for itself expeditiously, we are aware that some Asian countries and China specifically have taken over projects in East Africa in lieu of payments like the repossession of family house or car. This is not only embarrassing, it spells the takeover of African land gradually by outside forces that will use it for their self interest.

The benefits of loans are the same for families, countries and businesses. Generally, we use loans on projects that appreciate in value to benefit us. A family uses a loan to get a car and buy a house. The car enables you to get to work and make money to feed and house the members. A country can obtain loans for infrastructure that enable citizens to be more productive generating income that can be used to pay back.

The same is true of businesses that rely on "other people's money" to generate income, expand to meet demands, employ workers and pay back. African leaders know this. Savings should be used for personal vanities not loans. African countries put their population in jeopardy when they use loans for vanities and pay inflated salaries to live like those they borrow from without comparable productivity or GDP.

The way these loans are piling up on African countries, lenders that dictate the terms of repayment will become the major players in Africa's economic future the same way they did during Slave Trade. It is not different from the ways loans are personalized for individuals. Even the loan forgiveness does not come with nothing in return.

How well are returned African loots laundered abroad utilized? We have cases of African looted funds that have been returned to home countries, only to be re-looted by those waiting to collect. Those handing back stolen funds to the Government after taking out high legal and administrative fees know that they would be re-looted.

Foreign loan has become the Trojan horse in African countries. Most of these loans are Odious Loans since the lenders and the Africans enter into negotiations in bad faith knowing full well that the debtors have no intention or means of paying back. When our African leaders are invited to European, Asian or America Regional Economic Summit; they go cap in hand begging for debt relief. Imagine the face of lenders when looters beg for relief of stolen funds!

Africans are honest, dedicated and modest when placed in intercontinental and Trans-African positions outside their own country. It may be hard to believe that if some of the same folks are placed in responsible positions at home, they become looters. It boils down to the fact that they realize they are being watched and would lose prestigious positions if caught with their hands in the cookie jar in a different (sometimes hostile) environment.

Honestly, I cannot understand why Nigerians cannot keep a low profile and enjoy their hardwork, sweat and blood in peace.

Who is this advert for? Informers of Fulani herdmen or for people to patronize you.

Fulani have become enemies within printing local currencies to bribe village heads to take over their land while they take loans and credit cards in foreign currencies.

https://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/298329/easier-to-enslave-countries-families-with-loan-bribes-than.html

Please stop making fun of yourself. You are so ridiculous, it is appalling.

gregyboy:
Because the festival is for fun cruise, it is not historical as you see

EASIER TO ENSLAVE COUNTRIES & FAMILIES WITH LOAN BRIBES THAN GUNS

Usman Dan Fodio the 2nd leads Fulani that think they can divide and conquer Africa without the Resistance fighters or Guerrilla War by consolidating Fulani terrorists through the Northern open border into Nigeria. They wish the rest of the African countries will fall one by one, the way Usman Dan Fodio the 1st conquered the Hausa. Other Africans are watching wondering how far they will go before other Nigerians put them in their place as most African countries did. Fulani have nothing to offer except poverty and guns anyone can buy in the open market.

There is an easier choice today as super powers fail to defeat Resistance fighters bombing the hell out of them!! It is either you want to enslave by guns or by loans. A family can take a loan to improve their standard of living. Loan to buy a car enables you to get to work in order to make money to take care of family members and pay for the car. A loan can help mortgage a house, build equity that appreciates in value over time and improve infrastructure. Fulani have no money or loan because they are parasites that depend on arcade religious opium.

Believe it or not, some labor camps still exist throughout the world where the more you earned in staving wages, the more you owe. You have to pay for boarding and food. There are also grocery stores within the camps where you can buy candy, cigarettes, canned food etc. on credit. Whatever you owe will be deducted from your paychecks. Most of the workers owe more than their paychecks and cannot leave until they pay off everything they "owed".

If you think it only happens in labor camps, think again. Your country may be undergoing that predicament. Anyone that thinks all the money African countries take in loans and aids is free because some are forgiven or renegotiated must also think deeply. Renegotiation of loans and credit cards only means they give you more money to pay off the principal, interest, penalties, lawyer's fees, and commission to start paying all over.

Individuals, Oba, Igwe, Obi may have to use their land, house or sponsors as collateral like the Hausa Sarki did in exchange for Fulani domination. African rulers use their land or infrastructure which are taken over when full payment is due. If you have heard about Paris Loan, that was child's play compared to new European, American and Asian Loans. They are fighting one another about who gives better loans to Africa!

However, these loans as bribes can turn you into slaves that work forever to pay them off. There is another Loan that is called Credit Cards. It enslaves you forever because you cannot save or wait to buy what you need or want immediately. Since you are greedy, everything that the Candy Store has, you want. Indeed, the Candy Store would give you credit to buy more. The more loans or credit cards you get, the more enslaved you are. You are trapped for life.

Loans or Credit Cards incentives give us immediate gratification, not only for what we need; food, roads, public transportations like rail and buses to improve commerce; loans and credit cards also satisfy our wants for those goods and services that depreciate with little value to our future life. So we go crazy like a little boy in the Candy Store. We buy vanities, imports, brands to show we are not behind the rest of the world while we fail to produce ours.

Loans and Credit Cards encourage us to demand more goods and services on impulse since we do not have to pay for them immediately. Indeed, if we have to take cash out of what we can only earn, there is reluctance that many of our friends, neighboring communities and countries label as stingy. There is an African proverb that if a hunter has to think about what he went through in the bush to bring home meat, he would never share it with everybody.

This is our life in African countries. Natural resources are abundant that we were able to manufacture into Bronze, polished Gold and Diamond, Kola Nut into Gunpowder. We know from archeology and history that other continents were amazed by the amount of Gold, Ivory, metal sculptures and carvings looted from Africa after the resources of the African continent were exposed not only by Mansa Musa and Queen of Sheba travels but explorer “traders”.

While African were anesthetized into the Dark Continent, explorers and “missionaries” with religion stole raw material out of Africa for development into war materials and technologies. Though half of world reserves of Cobalt, most of Lithium and Germanium found in Congo and Namibia. The highest concentration of Chromium or Chromite in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Using what is yours to buy you. ttps://www.britannica.com/place/Africa/Metallic-deposits#:

There are different ways to skin a cat. You can catch more bees with nectar than capture flies with honey instead of vinegar. Another way of putting this is, if you put sugar in a baby's mouth, he would not spit it out. African countries are lured with odious loans from Europe, America and Asia in the form of Credit Cards they know Africans cannot afford to pay back. So they take their land and rights to natural resources as collateral.

There is no Black anywhere in the world that should not weep for the fall of Africa from grace as a place to go if everything else fails; but helpless countries ruled by Vagabonds willing to throw their motherland under the bus for temporary high of opium in foreign currencies. The Fulani have become enemies within printing local currencies to bribe village heads to take over their land while they take loans and credit cards in foreign currencies.

Someone puts it this way: The forest was turning into desert but the big trees kept buying axes because their handles were made of wood. A Continent or Country divided within itself cannot stand. The giant of Africa has failed us and its own citizens have lost faith in their country. Their country, ruled by those suffering from mad cow disease, is only good for looting. Africans have got to a point where they would accept judicious leadership by examples from any country as small as Botswana or Rwanda.

It is one thing to fight external threats by appealing to national interest but when internal agitations grip all regions including those from the ruling region, it is time to prepare for new nations. Citizens of many African countries have lost confidence, pride, ostentation, arrogance and conspicuous display of easy money, as in Nigeria. Indeed, Nigeria has been replaced by jokes all over the world from Britain's "fantastic corruption" label in high circles to local jokes in Kenya, South Africa to China.

What other evidence do we need to prove that Fulani imported and sponsored terrorists and bandits into Nigeria to divide and conquer, not only Nigeria as a start but as a leverage against other Africans.

This is happening all over Nigeria because the communities have failed to go through the process of traditional vetting before anyone is installed as Oba, Eze, Emir, Minister or even local Chairman.

It still beats me how Iwo Oba ever got installed in the first place. Patanmi as minister is a different case.

If this is true in Abeokuta of all places, de tin pain me no be small.
