PoliticsWho Occupied Top Most Important Position In Jonathan And Buhari Governments by jara(op): 9:44pm On Sep 24, 2025
Most people see through your hypocrisy. Those with any memory know who stole Nigeria blind during the Reign of Jonathan while the Environmental swamp in the Niger Delta got worse. We remember: Its our money our oil.

During Buhari reign, like any Northern Government, Nigeria has come to accept Fulani dominance in Government as the norm while their Talikawa beg on Southern streets.

Even Obasanjo, the "Most Detribalized Nigerian", he went out of his way to ignore his people and brought back the Igbo from the dog house into prominent and important positions. Yes, they deny it today and call him all kinds of names.

Tinubu may not be Yoruba favorite leader because of his character, but Yoruba can see clearly and his critics never meant well, no matter what.

PoliticsRe: Throwback: 1991 Alaafin's Letter To Military Governor Against Ooni's Appointment by jara: 11:47pm On Aug 19, 2025
It does not make sense for any of these traditional rulers to confer title beyond their domain of power intruding into another Oba's sphere.

What I do not like is the Alafin trying to put Ooni under him because it was his father's title. Once Ooni passed on his tittle to the caretaker of his (father's) business, Oranmiyan moved on. Oranmiyan, his father moved on from Bini to Oyo and established himself.

Many people do not realize that Ahmadu Bello is not a Fulani but he inherited Usman Dan Fodio's position. Who dared challenge Ahmadu Bello then?

In Yoruba culture and history, a Slave that proved himself either in battle like Ogedegbe or Ibadan warriors that save Ilorin and Oshogbo preventing Fulani overrun; could become king while a king could become a slave!

History has been unfair to Ilorin. They drove out the descendants of Fulani and burned his compound. It was the British that later reinstated the Fulani because they got a deal they could not get from Yoruba in Ilorin.

My two cents.

Burob:
traditionally the Alafin is stronger, politically the Oni is stronger.

PoliticsNdi-igbo: The New Colonial Developers In Africa by jara(op): 8:13pm On Aug 09, 2025
Ndi- IGBO: THE NEW COLONIAL DEVELOPERS IN AFRICA

There are reasons the old Ndi-Igbo were admired, trusted like other Nigerians throughout Africa and beyond: until lately, as their Youths took over. Igbo hard work and trust in Yoruba established businesses were very reliable. Their contribution by way of culture, businesses and African ethics to their hosts throughout Africa gave them a good reputation. Nigerians were worldly welcomed for their professional skills, during Peace Keeping and Wars to rebuild.

When Kmame Nkrumah told us to be wary of Colonial Explorers in Africa, he would not have known that there are African developers beating their chests for bringing economic salvation to fellow Africans in the name of petty trade. Nkrumah himself was a strong African developer that encouraged economic liberation in most African countries. Africans remember Nkrumah for his selfless devotion to African liberation from the yoke of European colonialism.

We cannot imagine any educated African leader throwing out the children of Nkrumah, but Nigeria did. Nnamdi Azikiwe and Obafemi Awolowo cried when the children of Nkrumah were thrown out of Nigeria under the excuse that they increased the crime rate as every intolerant world leader used it as an excuse to throw out migrants. Some even claimed Kofi Busia as President of Ghana, threw Nigerians out of Ghana first.

Even if Kofi Busia had thrown out Nigerians first, which country in the world can afford to take all the refugees from Nigeria if the country breaks into pieces? The population of Ghana can be compared to that of Lagos. So which African countries would willingly take any number of Nigerians “invasion” without threatening its own infrastructure and economic survival.

Tanzania barred foreign nationals from owning and operating mainly small-scale businesses, sparking concern and a backlash from neighboring Kenya. The new directive prohibits them from 15 sectors including mobile money transfers, tour guiding, small-scale mining, on-farm crop buying, beauty salons, curio shops and establishing radio and TV operations.

Tanzania’s Industry and Trade Minister Jafo put it succinctly that he hoped their ban announced on foreigners, would also encourage other foreigners to invest in large-scale businesses.
Most countries want to keep petty trades and small businesses in the hands of the locals. Resentments against Nigerians are not coming from South Africa, Ghana or Tanzania alone. Yet, most African countries welcome Dangote, a Nigerian investment!

PoliticsReal Businesses Are Crowded Out By Political Bigamists by jara(op): 10:39pm On Jul 25, 2025
Why are a few Africans doing much better and succeeding in Western countries? The straight answer is that Africans in general persevere outside, even if it takes their last breath rather than come back home as a failure. Legitimate businesses are still surviving in Africa but it takes hard work and dedication as expended to succeed outside. Unfortunately, if more money can be made in Politics through cronyism without sweat, crooked minded folks go for it crowding out legitimate business people.

...........

The debate on Bangladesh’s poverty which is similar to many African countries is misplaced. Even Britain, Germany, Britain and the United States of America emulate the best operating procedure within. It does not mean Bangladesh have to be perfect for Nigeria to implement good and sensible practices as in many Asian countries. Corruption in Asian and African countries were similar, yet alleviation of poverty in Asia shifted the scourge from Asia to Africa.

There was a time when the naira was appreciating so much after the worst downward trend, we thought the new Nigerian Government found a solution to the falling naira against the United States dollar. But when the moneybags uploaded their naira from bullion vans, file cabinets and grave yards to take advantage of cheaper dollars, the “miracle” ended. It did not last long before naira fell again.

The difference between Nigeria and Bangladesh is that the mopping up of excess taka held steady, at least for now. The American dollar fell in parity with Bangladesh taka due to local money liquidity shortage. So Bangladesh Exporters and Remitters lost out in Bangladesh due to central bank delays, causing liquidity shortage unlike Nigeria where even the Central Bank Governor printed naira for their use. https://www.tbsnews.net/

The Tinubu Government in Nigeria could have gotten away with mopping up naira but the Government could not discipline money bags uploading naira because they are members of the same Cabal Club. The new President cannot turn on members of his old Cabal because he became the President with the good intention of the country and that of the masses as the goal!

Unfortunately, decent parents that maintained the culture of the glorious days and raised their children the right way by sacrificing whatever they worked hard for on their children are not trusted anymore because their cohorts turn African countries into Poverty Capitals of the world! There is simply nothing to learn from those who wasted the resources of the richest continent on frivolous vanities around the world.

We cannot deny the fact that young men and women fought hard for Africa political Independence. But their children became elderly, selfish and greedy in the same communities. Unlike the Activists that sacrificed comfort in gruesome protests before being jailed at Madela universities across Africa. Today’s political leaders ascend political power to become kleptomaniacs sharing the meagre foreign earnings earned, with their foreign enablers.

The difference between the world's older politicians and African old politicians is how Asian countries have moved their countries forward and cut their poverty rate. While Africa became the new face of Poverty. It is not a coincidence that children of African Freedom Fighters have joined the world's oldest political class. During their time most African countries lost the gains made after Independence and actually regressed beyond the time they took over.

Unlike Activists that worked audaciously to turn Nigeria into potential Regional Power the world anticipated. These prodigal children developed a sense of false security out of pride of past laurels and glories. Before these new political successors could build on the hard work of their fathers, they squandered resources and income like prodigal children.
PoliticsRespect For African Elders Sinks To Its Lowest by jara(op):
Why blame America and Europe for raiding clubs and businesses to deport Africans. Local and international nationalism or “tribalism” is at its peak everywhere. Afterall, your own children and wives, also deported you when they lost respect for your hard work, investment or loots “safely” kept outside Africa? You can imagine how proud and respectful African children or all Diaspora Blacks would have been if Africans had built another new Wonder of the World in Africa.

Since this generation of leaders failed, they have become old and incapable of leaving African communities better than they met it. They deserve the blame and indignities that turned Africa into the Poverty Capital of the world. It doesn't matter anymore if you are not to blame for the actions of your cohorts. If you think you are a citizen, even natives and others born and bred there, have been deported.

You can then “Go to Court” as we say in Nigeria! To prove that your kins were in California and Mexico before America overtook them. But only after your deportation! It is then, we realize there is no place like home where we could have fought back, invested our money, youth and vigor instead of running out or backing into a wall. Minorities, not even as rich as Elon Musk, become more confident until we are reminded that we can be deported back to South Africa.

African cultures demand each and everyone of us to be our brother keepers. Africa was a Continent where it takes a village to raise a child. But greed and avarice have replaced the thinking faculty of our young and old politicians. So the elders lost respect of the Youths. Respect can only be earned in a decent community not by selfish leaders whose families and cronies are filthy or stupendously rich while the majority of African children suffer in squalor.

Usually, African cultures respect elders' opinions because of experience of what has worked or failed in the past. There is no contraction between the culture of wise elders and the Igbo saying that: while the community respects the elders, preference is given to achievements. In other words, though age is respected for wisdom; achievements are revered. Youths that have toiled night and day in different fields, while their mates lay idle inspire many more than old men.

This is the biggest haul of cocaine ever seized in Australia, with an estimated resale value of AUS $760m (£388m), police said.

The drugs came from an unidentified country in South America, investigators in Brisbane said on Monday.

The alleged drug traffickers were left stranded on Saturday after their boat suffered a suspected mechanical breakdown 18km off the northeastern tip of K’gari island, formerly known as Fraser Island, police said.


Police had been tipped off about the Comancheros motorcycle gang planning a large drug smuggling operation, federal police commander Stephen Jay said.

The smugglers tried twice to bring in drugs by sea from a mothership floating hundreds of kilometres offshore, Mr Jay added.

The first boat broke down and the second foundered on Saturday, leaving the suspects stranded at sea for several hours until police raided and seized the drugs.

They arrested two men at sea and 11 offshore, including two minors under the age of 18. All of them are Australian citizens, police said.

The maximum punishment for drug trafficking is life imprisonment.

The arrested men include the Brisbane vice president of the Comanchero Outlaw Motorcycle Gang, who is accused of engaging in violence, extortion and trafficking, police said.

All suspects have been charged for being part of a criminal syndicate and with conspiracy to import a commercial quantity of drugs into Australia by sea. They are set to be presented in various courts on Monday.

"Australia is a very attractive market for organised criminal groups to send drugs such as cocaine," Mr Jay said.

Cassava Republic Can Be Creative

Food has become one of the greatest saviors against weapons of mass destruction. Fortunately, many African countries have cassava and corn in abundance. During the last reign of Obasanjo in Nigeria, garri became more expensive than rice at a point. Many people started “throwing” curses at OBJ for turning poor man’s food into rich man’s food and rich man’s food into poor man’s food.

Ghana, Ijebu or Okrika garri competed well in and out of Africa as long as the price was right. One fact became obvious, poor men were struggling to buy garri even when at that point it was more expensive than rice. As Africans moved out to Europe and Americas, they bought garri at exorbitant prices by the bag no matter the price or where they have to drive to get it. Before then, they had to settle for wheat as garri or fufu

Nigeria has made it a necessity to promote cassava as part of bread instead of pure refined wheat imported into the Country. You would expect that since we now have abundance of cassava as one of the major producers, Nigerians would gladly embrace President Ebele for promoting it. Ignorance has crept into the acceptance of cassava in bread. Well, it could also be the fear of unknown.

Unfortunately, the refined wheat in white bread that most people love is just as bad as the fear of diabetes people pointed to in cassava. In the wheat producing countries, effort and public health education is on to switch to whole grain flour or multi-grain flour. It is very difficult to change habits in any country. But since people want to live longer, we are becoming receptive to food changes in our lifestyle.

Nutritionists tell us that refined food such as white bread is unhealthy and the more natural the food as garri, the better because of the content of the fiber. Suddenly some people now realize that cassava is starch and most of our food in Africa is starch. The same is true though in Asia countries where rice, a starch is part of main diet. The only difference in Europe and America is the amount of animal protein consumed with fries.

The days diaspora Africans clamored for European and American foods are coming to an end. Africans now buy garri in bulk where ever they are and if they cannot afford bulk purchase, buy with someone else and share. In those days, only rich people could afford to send food in abundance to relatives overseas. No more. The more educated Africans are, the more they realize that our foods are better as whole grain and unrefined.

If oyibo people want to buy their food whole grain and natural like ours, they have to go to specialties markets and stores. So we may be lucky at home where cassava can be turned into varieties retaining most of its fiber which is good for digestive system and helps the colon free and clean because of its rich fiber. Many of us eat these varieties of cassava, cocoyam and yam morning, noon and night. That may be overkill.

There was a governor that proudly proclaimed he only ate pounded yam three times a day. It all depends on what you eat the pounded yam with three times a day. There are orishirishi in terms of varieties of meat, fish and mixed vegetables that can compensate for the monotony of pounded yam. Yet most people do not complain about eating rice, French fries or white bread daily. Food is more an habit than a balanced diet.

Our schools of nutrition, chefs and mama-put-e must step up and be creative; so that we can appreciate what is grown and turned into finished product for consumption at home. Nigerians are kicking against inclusion of cassava in bread because we are used to refined flour. The producers of wheat are running away from refined flour for the same reason Nigerians are complaining about diabetes or high level of triglyceride from sugar.

Mama-put-e must learn variety from villages and schools. Africans also consume protein even if they can’t afford as much animal protein as the rich folks in their country. Beans are good source of protein and the variety of rich vegetables in African diet make up for the vitamins we need as part of a balanced diet. Beans are also prepared in variety of ways by turning it into flour mixed with ingredients to fry, bake and cook whole.

Just as important is the economic reason for finding variety of uses for our cassava. Nutritionists have advised us against too much protein since Atkins diet got some rich people that could afford it into trouble for eating meat all the way without side dish or “shocking” it with vegetables. Some claimed heart disease from too much animal fat killed Dr. Atkins. The lesson is, desist from old habit of egg, bacon and sausage daily.

Mediterranean diet made up of fruits, vegetables, fish and oils are highly recommended but it also points to the need for balanced diet. Europeans consume smaller portions but more frequently than Americans. They eat more pastries (white flour) rich in butter (fat) than Americans but are healthier? Indeed, nutritionists educate us it is unsaturated oil and fat we consume that matter as combination of fish rich in omega-3-6 fatty acids.

While preaching fruit and vegetables, friends cautioned on how dangerous fruits can be for those suffering from diabetes. Fruit is good because it has fiber to the sweet taste instead of empty calories of all-purpose corn syrup fructose in most food. But those suffering from diabetes must be careful of sweet diets anyway. This is why it is better to consult nutritionists instead of physicians without added training in nutrition.

If it all seems complicated, it boils down to moderation, smaller portion of food, colors in varieties. There is food in every country and there should be more in Africa where there are more arable lands than Europe and America. Since we refuse to appreciate our own, investors are coming from Asia, Europe and Americas to lease our land for 100 years so that they can grow food all year round and export them back to their contries.

United State is a Corn Republic. You can hardly taste anything in USA without corn. It is High Fructose Corn Syrup HFCS that rules the Country. Apart from corn oil, corn bread, corn meal, popcorn, it is fed to most animal products served on the table. Fructose HFCS has replaced sugar (sucrose) on food tables. Corn is also turned into methane added to petrol for cars. Needless to point out, it is highly subsidized by the US Government.

STAY HOME AND BUILD AFRICA

Right now, in Europe, America and Asia; campaign against immigration has become the most probable or the surest way to win any election from local to national Houses. Even those who are first generation children of immigrants reject migrants from their parents’ countries. When Sunak became the Prime Minister of Britain, his Home Secretary Suella Braverman, both of Indian descent, rejected Asian migrants. They made plans to deport them to Rwanda.

Toni Iwobi, originally from Nigeria, says his election for the League in Italy shows the far right party has no problem with ‘legal migration”. One Nigerian-born Canadian Kelechi Madu alias Kaycee Madu became the Minister of Justice and Solicitor General of Alberta, one of the provinces in Canada. Another British politician Kemi Badenock, the new Conservative British Leader was vilified for her slur against Nigerian immigrants as a descendant.

Italy's extreme Right party was able to recruit this Nigerian to implement their anti-migrant policy as the Conservative Party Attorney General in the Province of Alberta, Canada. It might remind some of you how anyone against Busing in the 70s was easily elected into office until Democrats got smarter. Willie Brown, the Speaker of the House in California was among the first that dumped support for Busing.

Indeed, those Asian and African politicians embraced the most anti-immigrants' candidates in the European and American elections. Yet, Africans and Asians are still clamoring for their Promised Land in Europe and America. Their fellow Asians and Africans think they are crabs preventing other crabs from climbing out of the barrel. Just as the politicians think they are suffering from Stockholm syndrome against self-interest.

Some unscrupulous African businessmen are now promising and selling visas, school acceptance letters and migrants visas to desperate Youths yearning to go abroad by any means. Over 10,000 foreign students' acceptance letters may be fake according to a Canada immigration officer. One Nigerian lady was so disappointed, she wanted her fortune spent on an American visa back after she was rejected.

Visas process fees have become money making endeavors for European and North American countries. These are rich countries sucking on poor countries as usual. The UK Home Office has announced an increase in the monthly proof-of-funds requirement for student visa applicants, raising the amount to £1,483 (approximately N3 million) starting January 2, 2025. The universities want more foreign students they make money out of.

Glorifying foreign employees for working outside Africa after their graduation instead of returning home, is the same type of colo-mentality towards ready-made goods and services from abroad. Too many of us have been celebrating foreign-trained or employed people for too long. So much so, some of the pioneering universities across Africa are now losing ground to universities established abroad after them.

Africans have crossed other African countries on their final destination to Europe. When they get stuck in counties poorer than theirs, around the Sahara desert, they are deported back home. The first reaction in their own countries is: what the hell they were doing in countries far poorer than theirs in their quest for greener pastures. Those poorer countries around the desert were never destinations. Circumstances beyond their control blew them there like a strong wind.

West Africans have found themselves in this situation begging their home countries to rescue them from slavery, prostitution and organ butchers. Many of these desperate fortune seekers or reverse adventurers into the wild realize that they were better off at home than the people that enslave them “abroad”. Unfortunately, they have sold their property to buy visas and passports. Indeed, foreign visas are so hot without guarantees or cashback, rich countries make fortunes.

Yes, it sounds like slavery again but this time, Africans are the ones selling themselves abroad with their life savings or borrowed money. While Africans and people of goodwill fought against old slavery, these glorified slaves know what they are getting into because there are many stories warning them to stay home and build Africa. Believe it or not, after begging their countries to rescue them, some of these rescued gullible Africans try again!

African universities must be well equipped and university professors paid relatively well by African standards. But African teachers cannot compare their salaries to teachers in a different economy abroad. Many well-respected African professors in different fields including political economy, law and medicine came back home knowing full well they were going to get a drastic reduction in pay. This was how Africa made more progress immediately after Independence.

Now, we are regressing again. The pride of contributing and giving back were burning in the days of Marcus Garvey Back To Africa. While it is true that the children of Freedom Fighter have rejected the sacrifice of their parents to return home but emulate the exploitation of their people like the colonialists that enslaved them. We cannot forget the difference between modern glorification of slavery and the sacrifice of the Freedom Fighters.

There is this weird feeling in Africa about those who worked against all odds that they would never struggle against at home and succeed abroad. They claimed they have no such opportunity at home when in fact, they had more but would never work for it as they do abroad. They want to be spoon fed at home. But would never be as hardworking and trusted with any allocation at home. They know the consequences of abuse of position abroad.

Indeed, African successful men and women fear being caught in any blemish abroad except diehard career criminals. They are the ones that gain notoriety and give their countries bad names. Those ones are so well known, foreign criminal investigators can point to their country and ethnicity. Yet, there are more honest and hardworking Africans at home, unappreciated.
