If Tinubu lost, who would become suicidal over him?

[quote author=Xscape1993 post=119518137]See the 12 good conditions the G-5 Governors gave Tinubu before they can even think of supporting him.

Out of the two Presidential candidates that will lose, one will turn his people suicidal out of disappointment.

Hypocrites. Congratulate the Governor of CBN.

Every country demands worldwide income. If you pay more than what is required, you get tax credit. The funny thing is that those making little or average income are the one complaining. The fat cats that get away with paying nothing, know this is for them.

African French Players 2 Moroccan Arab Players 0.

The Nigerians won the maiden edition of FIFA U-17 World Cup in 1985 hosted by China, 1993, 2007, 2013, and 2015 (becoming only the second team since Brazil to win it back to back); making them the first team ever to win the junior world cup five times.

Good old days!

I hear you bro and agree with you.

Right now, I am loving my brothers.

JasonScoolari:
Players that ditched your continent.

African Players 1.

Moroccan Players 0

Mbappe almost made it 2 - 0

I do not know about you.

My support is for French Soccer Team with mostly African players v. mostly Arab Morocco players.

THE POOR & NAIVE FOLKS WILL ALWAYS BE THERE TO SERVE THEIR MASTERS

Take a good look at the three leading Presidential candidates in Nigeria, if you do not empathize with the fate of Africans at home and in the Diaspora, you are not human. Even one of the worst Presidents in democracy had supporters against Impeachment.

There would be no stupendous wealth without the naive and the poor. They swim and exist against their own self interest. If this is pointed out, they get offended or feel insulted by doubling down on what gets them deeper to the bottom of the food chain. Some people patronize and worship those that exploit their very existence. The serfs and laborers were conditioned to trickle down crumbs after being starved to yearn for any form of relief.

Even religious holy books preached obedience to your superior masters as serfs and slaves who worked to enhance the higher social life of their masters. We must also understand that there are people born to accept the social life of their communities or adhere to standards dictated by the new community after relocation in return for their basic needs of food, water and shelter.

If the wealthy run out of workers like the old serfs of Europe, they go outside their countries and continent to recruit slave labor or attract slaves into their countries. Nobody would hire anyone before demands exceed supply in papa or mama small business until forced to hire more help from those that are not family members. Without the working class, the wealthy cannot make huge profits.

The exploiters of the naive folks study and practice the art of financial success on them to gain followers. This is why the poor would rather vote for politicians they can look up to, eternally waiting for gains; despite empty and unreasonable promises that are obvious to the wise. It does not mean that they are uneducated or totally stupid; it only means their reasoning faculty serve emotional and short-term interest like stomach infrastructure.

There is a difference between educated and naive folks. We can be highly educated and still be naive. The wealthy use many incentives and propaganda to get cheap or slave labor. This is not limited to unskilled jobs. Highly educated and talented workers are also attracted from poor countries paying them relatively higher wages compared to home countries but forced into poor working conditions they will not tolerate at home.

Physicians from third world countries finally cried out about poor working conditions in the U.K. Most remain silent for years to appear happy to those left at home. The Indian doctors and Zimbabwe nurses in the United Kingdom are cases in point. Recently, Nigerian doctors also joined, to complain about working conditions that endangered the quality of services rendered to their patients but less about their own unfulfilled dream.

Many professionals are modern serfs. Especially in the underserved areas they were posted to. The same areas they refused to serve at home where they were warmly welcomed, showered with pleasantries and other "bush allowances''. The lure of making more money equally attracts the middle and the working poor just as the wretched poor. But the poor have no means of moving from one country to another; unless some desperate poor ones incur huge debt to do so.

You ever wonder how the middle and working class vote based on the promise of tax breaks, free trade zones and tax holidays? Another form of regressive tax breaks where the rich walk away with thousands and millions, like the naivete get pennies. Naive folks that Pay As You Earn do not realize that the tax breaks come from the common purse that should be paying for schools, hospitals and infrastructure that the rich do not care for in their localities since they can afford them anywhere in the world.

It is a fact that there are freeloaders that want to sit on their butts and collect welfare checks but they exist on all sides within the conservative and liberal communities. The conservative cry louder against the poor while they are the biggest corporate bums selling services and commodities to governments at outrageous prices. This is the same taxes coming from all classes as the very rich manage to dodge paying any tax.

During the peak of Covid-19, the biggest relief checks went to the rich employers to hire and retain their employees. Smaller relief checks went to the working class, if not diverted. On top of the relief checks, businesses got loans they never paid back since some loans were forgiven. But they railed against workers that stayed back at home to babysit, student loans, grants and scholarships because they could afford to pay for their own children.

The wealthy parents could send their children to school anywhere in the world by raiding their country's Central Bank foreign Reserve leaving the country poorer and unable to import essential commodities for the rest of the citizens. The rich claim it is in the interest of the poor. They cry for foreign money so that rich children do not drop out of foreign schools. But poor children in foreign schools go to school full time and work part-time to pay their fees.

It is the children of the rich that can afford luxurious apartments, cars and parties without working, at least part time. So when the rich complain about their inability to get more foreign allowance for their spoiled children abroad, they use poor children that do not benefit. The irony of it all is that while poor students pay their own fees and send some of their earnings home to their parents, the rich have enough local currencies to exchange for euros or dollars.

The bottom line is that those that made their wealth, do so from the middle and working class at the retail markets and packaging resources sold at the Stock Markets that belong to all. They decide how much to pay while shareholders reap maximum profit. Workers are paid just enough to keep them dependent so that they can come back for a little more to live on. If the working class have more money in their hands, they can choose when to work and who to work for.

There have always been demands for talents, middle and working classes in businesses. Shortage of workers drives wages up and less profit for employers. This was demonstrated during COVID-19 when employers decried relief money for workers abstaining from work while applying for the same relief money, grants and loan remission themselves. It shattered the notion created by the wealthy that they are the job creators.

Children in the North are sent out to beg for alms in the South the same way Nigerians Youths rush abroad begging for Salvation.

SOME SOCIETIES ARE HAUNTED BY DREADED THUGS WE ENCOURAGED & NORMALIZED

Most Africans at home and Blacks in Diaspora wonder out aloud where the so-called Giant of Africa went wrong and how it can be corrected. The explanation remains the same in every African country. Our talents, skills and resources are out of control. Successful countries manage and account for these talents and resources but a country like Nigeria sabotaged themselves in favor of anything foreign. We must face reality and stop the drainage.

Who dares demand and enforce accountability as miners scrabble for our resources like the Fortune of war today? Upon all the laws and regulations, gas flaring, electricity and outright theft of natural resources from the North to South are still going on, 70 years after Independence. Even Oil subsidies for the poor have been cornered now to benefit the rich. It goes beyond ethnic and regional rivalry.

The resources from our desert in the North, not to mention its abundance in the South are intentionally unaccounted for in the age of computers where every barrel of oil, diamond, limestone, gold etc can easily be monitored. Known operators hired by (oga at the top) in high places operating with impunity are ignored. When "caught", they are granted pardon, amnesty and immunity from criminal activities. But we prosecute token crimes and misplace our anger by jungle justice on poor hungry people who steal food in the market.

Successive leaders just before Independence compromised accountability of our resources by contracting it to international corporate companies that pay taxes and report to their home countries. We were given Independence without colonial responsibility. The same disadvantageous relationship Kwame Nkrumah fought and warned Africans about. Local and foreign terrorists, bandits and drug peddlers are nurtured to divert our attention.

The saying that your freedom fighters are our terrorists and your terrorists are our freedom fighters has some validation. Those that came to Africa with goodwill in one hand and sword or guns on the other hand were the nightmare of African countries today because they trained embedded Africans to terrorize their own people in return for Economic Salvation in exile.

We failed to jealousy watch and keep our eyes on the Prize or on the talented people mother nature bestowed on our land. We cannot pretend that we do not have crazy people in our villages or abnormal individuals in a family. The difference is the pressure and norm within the community that curb their excesses. Our Id, the instinctive act is controlled by our personal Ego before the community SuperEgo steps in and returns individuals to their senses.

A society that lost control of its laws and morals, suffered the damages it failed to arrest. Most countries deserve the government they nurtured. Many dictators in authoritarian societies are either elected or rode to power on the back of tiger reactionaries that destroy them fighting for their choice of leadership. The fact that these uninsightful elements are a loud minority pushing the majority to their dungeons is remarkable. What we pray and wish for in our dreams may turn out differently from the way we imagine it: nightmare.

They encourage bad behavior under the justification that there are foreign soldiers of fortune that are needed to fight against their enemies. Invade and bastardize peaceful communities, culture, civilization and dominate. We know these soldiers of fortune are terrorists, bandits, kidnappers and insurrectionist that will come back to haunt us, turning our communities into the authoritarian regimes we detest and fear. If done at home, they also do worse outside.

Indeed, reasonable interpretation of extremists has been intentionally conflated with abnormal behaviors to shield bandits from accountability and scrutiny. We are now in a world where the extreme Religious Right double down and label those fighting for their basic Human Rights extremists on the far Left in order to exculpate their own crimes.

It is the height of naivete to expect those that have destroyed our past, to be the ones given another staff of political mantle to build our future. By the time we realize our worst fears, we would see their projections of inhumanity on others they claim are extremist leftists. How can people fighting and begging for their basic survival, human Rights, preaching live and let others live peacefully, be so demonized?

We all reap what we sowed since we fail to rescue the children of the poor used by those that are rotten and spoiled, in revenge. They have come back to haunt us. Unfortunately, the silent majority that never took part or contributed to the situation we find ourselves in Africa today, locally or globally are not spared of what many call tribulation. Many of today's victims should not be held responsible for the naivete of their fathers that sold them out. It is not fair.

We all have instinctive guilt but some of us ignore or capitalize on it with confrontation, rude and pugnacious behavior to garner immediate advantage for narrow self interest; ignoring later repercussions on the community at large. Terrorists, bandits and thieves come from our individual families. We were indifferent to many as they grew wings while a few of them were encouraged and glorified after previous dastardly acts that should have raised eyebrows.

Once some individuals can accumulate money by any means, they package it through self-interest groups to fund political parties and think-tanks of educated mercenaries for repackaging. Those sponsored by ill-gotten gains could be terrorists, bandits, thugs and hooligans willing to obey their wish. They gain access to high places including prestigious institutions like the Religious, Judicial and higher learning institutions. These are the people that help shape the policies of the society until everything collapses like a pack of cards.

This is how societies encourage, sponsor and breed dictators with thugs insidiously. They capitalize on shortcuts solutions for every problem facing their societies promising to fix what they couldn't in ages, from day one. Authoritarian leaders are hailed as heroes while the silent majority sleep on their complacency. Some of the silent majority are so sure, situations can never get as bad as the warnings on the wall; until the situations get worse.

Therefore, there is more blame to some than others when a village refuses to nurture the children. The African village that raises a child is fast disappearing into a global village that lures African youths from communities without input or say in the world "standards". We are left to copy and invoke "world standards" as if that is the perfect way without any African input.

Election or no election, you know the next President. Exercise in futility.

If Igbo really want their own country Biafra, Yoruba want Odua and Fulani want Dan Fodio, there is no point presenting candidates for President.

Unless you want Fulani perpetual rule.

Kwasi Kwarteng fired as UK Chancellor of Exchequer. Always use Blacks as sacrificial lamb.

Therefore, the Prime Minister of Britain Liz Truss was confident that she would gain the support of her fellow Conservatives and the Stock Markets with her Tax break for the rich. After all, her respected Rt Hon Kwasi Kwarteng is the Chancellor of Exchequer, the best Cabinet member to implement it. Kwarteng came from a middle class family that emigrated to the United Kingdom from Ghana. His parents sent him to all the best schools in the U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss killed two birds with one stone. She rocked the financial Markets and stained a reputable man.

African Oil Conference Delegates React to OPEC Cuts

OPEC CUT: AFRICAN OIL PRODUCING COUNTRIES GAIN LITTLE

What does Russia and Arab oil cut back, a United States Supreme Court Justice, a former Secretary of State, Britain Chancellor of Exchequer have in common with African Politicians? They are all minorities used as accomplices of oppressive and draconian policies that adversely affect the vast number of poor, minorities and weaker countries. Most of these conservative policies are from an old entrenched belief that the best way to rule the majority is to use token minorities against their self-interest to implement oppressive Agendas.

The war in Ukraine has exposed the hypocrisy of oil politics. Russia gained the support of developing countries because Russia became the lesser devil just like China, compared to the higher cost of European and American technical and financial support. They all provide odious loans. These loans and aid are always in exchange for cheap resources or land. Despite the number of skillful and talented Africans, they cannot wait and labor at home to develop them.

No matter how African countries try to tread the fine line, they get the short end of the stick. World Powers care very little about developing countries and are willing to go any distance to exploit their natural resources. There were active Non-Aligned countries that tried to be neutral between Communist and Capitalist countries for very good reasons. We do not want the United States, Russia and China to be on the same side against any developing country.

The Arab oil embargo in the seventies was the first time poor countries were able to determine the price of their commodity. The windfall benefited Arab countries turning desert into pockets of Paradise. The African oil producing countries also benefited up to a point until Military rulers and politicians turned into chronic kleptomaniacs. They divert pipelines and funds to their pockets. Actually, none of the African oil producing countries can account for the windfall made from oil.

While Saudi Arabia could monitor every drop of oil leaving the oil field, African countries can neither account for their oil nor how much they make from it. Russia and the United States have more oil reserves than most African countries. They keep their oil in case of unforeseen events as the USA concentrates on renewable energy production. They can alway revert to licensed oil fields if need be. Indeed, they are willing to import oil while they keep theirs in reserves.

Therefore, when African countries join Arab countries and Russia to cut the production of oil and raise prices in the Western World and Africa, who benefits? We must admit that Arab countries, despite their dictatorial policies against their people, have used the money made from oil to develop their countries. The case in point was Libya where they enjoyed good infrastructure and social benefits. They gave it up for “freedom” from the West and the country has yet to recover. Who else than President Barack Husein Obama to overthrow Muhammed Gadhafi?


Venezuela pumped oil to the USA, Cuba and other Caribbean countries cheaper, yet the United States conservatives were bent on pauperizing the country. There are speculations that the United States may have to relax its ban on International Oil corporations in the Country to make up for OPEC cuts. A poor neighbor becomes a liability sooner or later. Apart from the need for Venezuela oil after Russia and Saudi Arabia cut back, poor Venezuela migrants trying to evade poverty as a result of the U.S sanctions, are flooding into the United States border.

The most conservative Justice on the U.S Supreme is a Black man that has ruled either with the conservative majority of the Justices or wrote extreme conservative dissent opinions. His wife still maintains that the last U.S Election was stolen and encouraged the insurrectionists. The only time the Justice cried out racism was during his confirmation. He called accusation of sexual inuedoes during his hearing by liberals; as "high tech lynching". Suddenly, Black again!

The United States late Secretary of State was a former Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, an honorable soldier and a gentleman. In order to convince the world at the United Nation that an immediate invasion was necessary because Iraq possessed nuclear weapons, the best face to send was General Colin Powell. The reputation of a respectable statesman was tainted forever. It turned out, as many world experts suspected, that Iraq had no such weapon. It was a pretext!

Britain had to make a U turn after the Stock Markets, respectable financial experts and former Conservative cabinet members revolted against Tax Cut for the rich. Mind you, Conservatives think Tax Cut is the only way to grow the economy in order to send crumbs to the working class. It has been a long held economic policy prompting the late David Lewis, the leader of National Democratic Party of Canada in the 70s, to call them Corporate Bums.

Therefore, the Prime Minister of Britain Liz Truss was confident that she would gain the support of her fellow Conservatives and the Stock Markets with her Tax break for the rich. After all, her respected Rt Hon Kwasi Kwarteng is the Chancellor of Exchequer, the best Cabinet member to implement it. Kwarteng came from a middle class family that emigrated to the United Kingdom from Ghana. His parents sent him to all the best schools in the U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss killed two birds with one stone. She rocked the financial Markets and stained a reputable man.

Some of you may remember Italy's first black senator, a Nigerian immigrant. Mr. Toni Iwobi was elected in Brescia, Italy. He was a member of the country’s far-right, anti-immigrant League party and became the Italian Minister in charge of the party’s immigration department. Another Nigerian Kelechi "Kaycee" Madu was Minister of Justice before he serves as the provincial minister of labor and immigration for Alberta since February 25, 2022.

The point here is that no matter how great and conscientious a Black man or woman is, the conservatives are lurking around the corner to make him “great again”. This is why they can easily lure Africans. African politicians and African Chief Executive Officers in International Corporations expressed their duty to deliver dividends to their Shareholders outside their countries and ignore the interest of their people, if they want to retain positions and power!

OYO-ro-OBA are the people of Oyo. It is how Oba Koso was known from Timbuktu to Egypt. This was before Hausa or Fulani knew of the people of Oyo.

How Oyo r'Oba become Yoruba is your homework.

This is why Yorùbá people usually say when you set out to look for money and you meet honor on the way then you don't need the journey anymore, because if you get the money, you will still use it to acquire honor.

Eni nwa owo lo to pade Iyi lona, ti o ba ri owo tan, iyi naa lo ma fi ra. This is why the rich and famous would pay anything to meet Asantehene, Oba, Igwe, Sultan, high Chiefs, Kings and Queens asking for grace and honorary titles. The insatiable need to pursue honor after accumulating all the money in the world may baffle some of us but the need to be recognized beyond money is worldwide. What is surprising is that they turn to Asantehene, Oba, Igwe, Sultan and high Chiefs without their amount of money.

The erosion of our value system in many world cultures has pushed accumulation of money above the value ladder. There are values that are sacrosanct to the culture and survival of people even before money replaced trade by batter. Some countries have more rigorous laws against moral turpitude than financial or white collar crimes. But if you want to predict the end of a country, watch how moral decadence is used to make money.

Old African cultures respect those who exude a solid reputation. Honor can be sought and pursued with money but it only lasts as long as the money is there. The chances are, if honor can be bought with money, new money will displace and buy honor that is for sale. The reason is money only has value at a point in time unlike generational wealth of honor that increases in value over time.

Ìwà Omolúàbí (Integrity): Someone with Integrity is a person of his words. If you have all the wealth in the world without integrity, you are empty. Integrity combined with Iwa (Character) is Omolúàbí. "We look for three things when we hire people: intelligence, initiative or energy, and integrity. If they don't have the latter, the first two will kill you, because if you're going to get someone without integrity, you want them lazy and dumb.” Warren Buffett, American Investor.

Age is highly respected in African culture for their wisdom and history of events. Nevertheless, achievement is revered and a young man who knows how to wash his hands will eat with the elders. Akínkanjú or Akin (Valour), the General or Balógun is second-in-command to the leaders in Yoruba land. Balógun are people that can lead people to war. They lead us with great courage in the face of danger, especially in battle.

“It has never previously been established by historians that Mendonça was an African, which is really incredible – that in the 1600s you had this African man who travelled all over Europe to mobilise an activist movement for the liberation not only of Black Africans, but also of Indigenous people in the Americas,” says Nafafé.

In 1684, Mendonça went to the Vatican, where he accused the nations involved in the trans-Atlantic slave trade of crimes against humanity. “What I’ve discovered is that this wasn’t just a petition, it was actually a court case, undertaken by Black Africans and supported through highly organised international solidarity,” explains Nafafé. “People always think that the legal abolitionist movement started in Britain, in the late 18th century, but Mendonça really forces us to review our positions on this.”

MOST MAKE AMENDS FOR INIQUITY OF SLAVE TRADE OTHERS EXPLOIT IT

The whole world traded or exchange slaves. We must apologize to the children of those so stigmatized and make appropriate amends. The Iniquity of the father shall follow the children to their graves unless they amend their sins and those of their parents with good deeds to all. What we have today are some extremists hypocrites who double down on iniquities twisting laws, privilege and religion to perpetrate and justify injustice in the name of law and order. https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/how-god-visits-sins-on-the-third-and-fourth-generation

We now have people that are viscerally angry taking extreme positions because they want privileges over children of those that were dispossessed by their fathers. They have seized control of governments by any means they could. If they could not do it by votes, they rigged elections, gerrymandering, outright coup d'etat or insurrection. They claim the law and God are on their side so that they can subjugate minorities and women in their societies.

Anyone that dares to inform or educate based on science or history accepted universally is projected as preaching hate or "fake" news while they counter with their own disinformation. Their intention is to confuse the polity, especially those uninformed. They split communities, families and homes into two. So much so that peaceful gatherings, extended family meetings, even picnics are avoided for peace sake.

The fear of past injustice is real. The way people express fear may be to make amends, reject the past or put on a defense mechanism to justify the unjustifiable. Some people believe the best defense for past uncivilized behavior is to go on offense. They double down on exaggerated privileges that they may lose if they do not fight like hell.

Can anyone defend slavery of the past in most societies without making amends? Apologists that excuse the iniquities of the past by preaching the good they created on the silver lining without seeking justice for their wrong are part of the perpetrators looking for escape or even justifying past wrongful deeds. They come up with "Holy or Saint" to honor evil doers in Church, Mosque and even name captured land or slave plantations.

Years of compromise in politics, moderation, Federal character and years of delicate precedents in courts are overturned with impunity. Africans are becoming un-African buttressing their positions with the privileges of alien cultures. We are no longer our Brothers' Keepers. No matter how long or immediate it is, the children of the oppressed will recover from their nightmare, religious opium and euphoria to challenge the status quo.

Reparation has become controversial in the Americas and Commonwealth countries. The ancient residents of Britain from African and Caribbean countries were denied legal papers in the Country for social benefits they worked and died for until some amends were made lately. Unfortunately, our Youths are confused, embarrassed, expecting salvation from outside, not from their own within since their leaders stretched hands out begging for foreign assistance. The efforts that should have been directed towards self-actualization are channeled into fraud, terrorism or easy endeavors turning them into bandits, ritualists, drug mules and terrorists.

We mourned more than the bereaved for the loss of their Queen, Dictator and Pharaoh as if they were Mother Theresa of the world, wishing for the return of colonial power. Youths want to relocate to locations of the good old days. Anything foreign, even in the form of bananas handed to monkeys, is enough to make some, thankfully not most, turn against their own. They use the same obscenities used by those who enslaved their grandparents against one another.

While on Iniquity and Reparation, some Africans and African Americans have savagely attacked Prof. Uju Anya, an Igbo African that happens to be a Professor in the United States. Unlike the Iniquity here, her sin is pointing to the role of Britain during the Nigeria/Biafran War. By right of her Free Speech, her views on the Queen that presided over the Commonwealth. We cannot hide the decimation and destruction of Native cultures and people in Americas, Asia and Africa.

She is not the only one that has spoken out on this, many scholars did. What is more embarrassing is the circular firing squad created by a few well informed African Americans feigning ignorance. The Yoruba word AKATA is not the problem, rivalry between some earlier African American, many before Columbus and recent Africans is older than the awareness of the AKATA word. Prof. Anya is not Yoruba where the word comes from. Indeed, Yoruba call Nigerians coming back from overseas Akata, Oyinbo, Omowale, Sobowale,Tokunbo etc.

When Arthur Ashe came home to Nigeria, they named him Omowale. Though Akata or Oyinbo may not be as faltering, Black Panther is another wild beast meaning AKATA. They were not named by Yoruba! But any name that people feel is not proper must be dropped from civilized discussion. Akata or Oyinbo is not a name most Nigerians find flattering. Believe it or not, some Yoruba, especially some Youths find it amusing when so called. Some even called one another NIGGA for which they were cautioned against like African Americans caution their Youths.

Trying to create uproar out of poor Prof. Uju Anya for expressing the obvious about the Queen that came from the line of those who pride themselves as the conquerors of Africa, Asia and Americas is misplaced. Turning it into a tribal war between Africans and African Americans with the word AKATA or Oyinbo is despicable. Many of us still remember the last time this tribal war raised its ugly head: OBAMA IS NOT ONE OF US!

However, most African Americans voted for Obama. Even during the Democrats Primary, some well informed and educated African American colleagues campaigned against Obama. Some of those claimed it was not his turn. Recently, another friend said openly that Africans sold them and then followed them to America to take the Quota reserved for them. The Asians sue in court because they think they are cheated out because of the same Quota!

Haba! We are yet to see Irish, Polish, Scottish or Greek Americans attack their own immigrants from home the way some African Americans attack Africans. Quota like Affirmative Action has become a dirty word all the way to the U.S Supreme Court. Indeed, African Americans before or after Columbus and African students have denied their minority status to the Admission Offices in the Ivy League Colleges because of the Stigma. Prof. Uju Anya qualified for her position in her own right, not because she snatched a position reserved for African American.

African Americans are not only respected all over the world, Africa places them on a higher pedestal. Nkrumah, Azikiwe, Awolowo, Nyerere and others invited African Americans home during and after the fight for Independence. Chief Justice Alexander of Nigeria, reputable scholar W.E.B Dubois in Ghana and the United States Justice in South Africa were just three cases in point that worked in Africa. Please show love and direct your anger to the right places.

Black pastor arrested while watering his neighbor's flowers has filed a federal lawsuit.

(CNN)Attorneys for Michael Jennings, a Black pastor arrested while watering his neighbor's flowers, filed a lawsuit in federal court on Friday alleging that the three Childersburg, Alabama, police officers who arrested him violated his rights under the First and Fourth amendments.
