No time abeg, Oya, put 3 I got places to go.

buzugee:
3 tribes ran into africa. levi, benjamin and judah. those 3 tribes populated all of africa. africa was empty with the exception of north africa. so anyone in africa with the exception of somalians (ancient egyptians), ethiopians (ancient babylonians), hausas, fulanis and erritreans are israelites. the ones mentioned are hamites. these are the true africans. these are the people who occupied north africa. the hamites, that is. so the answer to your question will be, they may be related (but it looks like the levites are the ones who ran to the south of africa while judah and benjamin ran into west africa.

So you mean I'm a descendant of the house of Judah?

You mean Abraham's Blessings are mine?

You mean I have a right to control Hollywood and also buy half of London + Wall Street?

Gaddemit! You mean I'm a Jew?

Buzugee on a roll!!

Glad people can now see why I chose my very kemetic brutha as the "poster of the year"

Very interesting video.

How about we compare the size of our economies.

USA = $15 Trillion

Nigeria = $415 Billion


Wastage is condemnable across all nations, but khaki pass leather.

Just 28 views?

OP, just change the title to 'The Reason Why Nigeria Will Never Progress"

No matter the fake prophecy of prosperity coming down from the thousands of churches and mosque we troop to every Sunday and Friday, this country will continue to stagger, falter and go backwards until we install justice and punish iniquity.


"Righteousness exhalts a nation" , no be so una bible talk?

Happy Sunday!

Farouk Lawan: Does Nigeria pay subsidy on locally refined Products?
Diezaini: it depends
NNPC: The lay man cannot understand how it’s done
PPPRA: yes
DPR: No

Layman don suffer

Farouk Lawan: [b]what is the balance in the subsidy accounts?
Diezieni: it’s a virtual account
NNPC: There is no account in existence as the lay man will look at it
PPPRA: The account is a technical one
CBN: There is no account with us for subsidy
Okonjo: The account exists but not with a bank.
Hmmm, abracadabra, the more you see the less u understand![/b]

SMH.

I hope these Army and SS people know what they are doing,

Although I'm eager to see the end of these sick boko killers, extra judicial killing of innocent non-combatants will just give boko more idiots to use as human dynamites.

I hope they know what they are doing.

Lol. I suspect Oga Ola Ola

Anyway, they can't hide it forever, "occupation" results must show at the end. Last last by Oct 1

OAM4Jollification,

Where is Isale? What did you do to her?

Has she been occupied? Who occupied her?

Summary of this interview = Let's just manage the country like that



Seeking Radical reform? Sorry, this man cannot do it.

The UN report said Niger had increased its defense budget by 65 percent and reduced health and education spending because of the threat

Abeg, Yinmu!

Boko Haram or not, Our silly leaders have always shortchanged Spending on Education and Health.

In Nigeria, They'll rather feed  their cronies ( mainly Retired Military big men) with Million Dollar Defence contracts than educate our children.

Massive Education will eradicate Boko Haram faster than an Atomic Weapon. Ask UAE, Qatar and co.

This is another silly and incomplete report filled with unnecessary justifications for the Looters of Nigeria. Good governance will eradicate Boko haram.

. They seem to be losing the love, confidence and support of the people, because of the way and manner they execute their operations, i.e. the amount of killings either by hanging, starving and or shooting of innocent citizens in the so-called interrogation centres."

Is this really going on?

If so, they need to stop, one of the surest way to prolong this war is to alienate ordinary non-combatants. We will just end up chasing them into the Boko Haram camp.

SSS, Army, Police. Isreali Mercenaries or whoever is doing this on behalf of the Nigerian Govt need to find another way to hit Boko haram. Extrajudicial killing of innocent people will end up giving Boko haram more men and women to do their evil bidding.

Amazing piece of history. Great videos!

Awolowo and Azikiwe are class acts! Those politicians really campaigned.

Lol @ the symbol of the Action Group symbolizes something that you want and I want, that is Money!"

Look at all those Northerners running after his helicopter screaming Awo! Awo!

belabela:
@poster

let's assume this so called seriki was dead during the fuel subsidy protest such as not to hear the SNG saying "this is not just about fuel subsidy but misgovernance and corruption " nor saw posters reading " kill bokoharam not Nigerians "

Unfortunately we have many uneducated graduates in Nigeria. Where have you seen people protest against terrorists or militants?

Would bokoharam be threatened cos Nigerians are protesting against them?

All sane protests would be directed at government to protect us and we don't need to tell Jonathan and his crew.

If the federal government so desires such a protest it would be a revolution for regime change cos that would mean Nigerians can no longer trust the government for protection.

For the clown claiming to have posted this rubbish on Facebook and thinking you have made a point.  You are not better than the clowns who said "I voted for Goodluck not PDP"

Those of you complaining can lead the bokoharam protest.  I would like to see who you will be protesting against

That's all.

Jakumo:
that excision of the Islamic north from the existing Nigerian federation would be joyfully welcomed by the Christian south PROVIED that ALL claims to crude oil wealth were surrendered by the new Islamic republic, as a VITAL component to that fond parting of ways.

No part of Nigeria has a legitimate or valid claim to the resources outside their own land. So there is no claim to withdraw really.

What we have is a sharing agreement by the owners of Nigeria, an agreement forged in the fire of corruption and strengthened by the bonds of  padi-padi, chop-make-I-chop looting.

one wonders what the long-term objective of the terrorists would be if they were in fact able to achieve their goal of carving an autonomous Republic of Sharia-Land out of present day northern Nigeria.

I doubt if up to 6 local governments in the North will agree to this separation or creation of a new theocratic Islamic country.

I believe this administration can fix Nigeria. But is must first clean house. The cobwebs of impunity must be removed from it's cupboards and it must purge itself of the sin of corrupt collusion.

He that comes to equity must come with cleaned, washed and sanitized hands.

Those hands may need to be washed in the blood of the greedy and wicked looters sitting in the public and private highplaces of Nigeria.

diluminati:
I would love to have a one-on-one chat with Wole Syinka. I want to feel his bias towards religion. For me i dont trust him, because of the Pirates Confraternity he tried modelling along Skulls and Bones (Freemason extension). I know the Skulls and Bones disregard any form of Religion and its ideologies. So i say Wole is speaking from a textbook agenda till i speak with him and know his mind from way back till now.

I think if you pick up his books you will get a pretty good insight into his mind.

If you read his Brother Jero Plays closely for example, you will get a sense of his thoughts concerning some religious practices.

I don't think Soyinka is against religion, as a self confessed admirer and sometimes worshipper of Ogun, The Yoruba God of War and Iron, I don't think he's 100% against religion.

I'm yet to read where he called himself an atheist.

As per the Pirates thing, Soyinka formed a University Fraternity, a student club at best and a pressure group to fight for well articulated ideals. He never formed a cult.

Whatever brought cultism to Nigeria is Nigeria's fault, Soyinka did not bring Cultism.

Nigerian University cultism is a product of Corruption, Military rule and the militarization of the Nigerian Psyche, all mixed with ignorance plus poorly channeled Youthful exuberance

Review for home page please. Thanks

War broke out in Nigeria a long time ago, anyone waiting for an official announcement is on a "long thing"

Home page please.

Soyinka, as usual, gets the full picture.

The Butchers Of Nigeria

Jan 16, 2012 12:00 AM EST


How a corrupt nation bred Boko Haram, the Islamic sect terrorizing the country’s Christians.



Over the past year, Nigeria’s homegrown terror group Boko Haram has escalated its deadly attacks against Christian and government targets, with the aim of establishing a Sharia state in the country’s north.

   
Nearly 30 years ago, in the largely Christian heartland of a multireligious Nigerian nation, and at that nation’s pioneer institution—the University of Ibadan—a minister of education summoned the vice chancellor and ordered him to remove a cross from a site dedicated to religious worship. Some Muslims had complained, he claimed, that the cross offended their sight when they turned east to pray.

The don’s response was: “Mr. Minister, it would be much easier to remove me as vice chancellor than to have me remove that cross.” Christians mobilized. 

A religious war was barely averted on campus. Today the Christian cross occupies that same spot, with the Islamic star and crescent raised only a few meters away. 

As I observed at a lecture several years later, there has been no earthquake beneath, no convulsions of the firmament above that space, no blight traceable to the cohabitation of that spot by Christian and Muslim symbols.

I evoked that occurrence when the latest torch bearers of fanaticism—a group called Boko Haram—emerged. 

I did so to draw attention to the fact that religious zealotry is not new in the nation, nor is it limited to the “unwashed masses” who have been programmed into killing, at the slightest provocation or none, in the name of faith.

 Unfortunately, far too many have succumbed to the belligerent face of fanaticism, believing that any form of excess is divinely sanctioned and nationally privileged.

Sectarian killings—numbered in the thousands—preceded Boko Haram, much organized butch-ery, sometimes announced in advance, always tacitly endorsed by silence and inaction, escalating in intensity and impunity. 

It was consciousness of the geographical expansion and the increasingly organized nature of the fanatic surge and its international linkages that compelled me to warn on three public occasions since 2009 that “the agencies of Boko Haram, its promulgators both in evangelical and violent forms, are everywhere. 

Even here, right here in this throbbing commercial city of Lagos, there are, in all probability, what are known as ‘sleepers’ waiting for the word to be given. If that word were given this moment, those sleepers would swarm over the walls of this college compound and inundate us.”


Much play is given, and rightly so, to economic factors—unemployment, misgovernment, wasted resources, social marginalization, massive corruption—in the nurturing of the current season of violent discontent. 

To limit oneself to these factors alone is, however, an evasion, no less than intellectual and moral cowardice, a fear of offending the ruthless caucuses that have unleashed terror on society, a refusal to stare the irrational in the face and give it its proper name—and response.

 That minister was not one of the “unwashed masses.” He was, quite simply, the polished face of fanaticism. 

His prolonged career as secretary of the Universities Commission and minister of education inflicted on the nation a number of other policies of educational separatism that left a huge swath of Nigeria open to fanatic indoctrination.

Yes, indeed, economic factors have facilitated the mass production of these foot soldiers, but they have been deliberately bred, nurtured, sheltered, rendered pliant, obedient to only one line of command, ready to be unleashed at the rest of society. 

They were bred in madrassas and are generally known as the almajiris. From knives and machetes, bows and poisoned arrows they have graduated to AK-47s, homemade bombs, and explosive-packed vehicles. Only the mechanism of inflicting death has changed, nothing else.

This horde has remained available to political opportunists and criminal leaders desperate to stave off the day of reckoning. 

Most are highly placed, highly disgruntled, and thus highly motivated individuals who, having lost out in the power stakes, resort to the manipulation of these products of warped fervor. 

Their aim is to bring society to its knees, to create a situation of total anarchy that will either break up the nation or bring back the military, which ruled Nigeria in a succession of coups between the mid-1960s and the late ’90s. 

Again and again they have declared their blunt manifesto—not merely to Islamize the nation but to bring it under a specific kind of fundamentalist strain. 

Rather than act in defense of Nigeria’s Constitution, past rulers have cosseted the aggressors for short-term political gains. However, those who have tweaked the religious chord are discovering that they have conjured up a Frankenstein. 

Arrogance has given way to fear. The former governors of the northern states of Gombe and Borno wasted no time in issuing full-page advertorials in the media, apologizing to Boko Haram when the latter issued threats against them for their alleged role in the deaths of the group’s members at the hands of security forces in 2009.

They had precedent. It was in Nigeria, after all, that a deputy governor, later backed by his superior, pronounced a fatwa on a Nigerian citizen in 2002: “Like Salman Rushdie, [her blood] can be shed. It is binding on all Muslims, wherever they are, to consider the killing of the writer as a religious duty.”

That was the fallout from a beauty contest in Abuja that drew the ire of some Islamic extremists. Reacting to the mayhem, a female journalist had speculated that, were the Prophet Muhammad alive, he might have selected one of the contestants for wife. 

For that alleged blasphemy, hundreds, guilty only of innocently pursuing a living, were massacred by hordes of fanatics, who were mostly bused into the capital for organized violence. The president went groveling before the presumably offended elite.

It was the same governor of an impoverished state called Zamfara who unilaterally commenced the separatist agenda that turned parts of Nigeria into theocracies under a supposed secular Constitution. His whim was indulged, his political support was courted by the then-sitting president, obsessed with prolonging his tenure. The governor, now turned senator, was also caught as a serial pedophile. Challenged in the media, he boasted that the Quran was above the Constitution, and thus he was not subject to laws that criminalized copulation with underage children or, indeed, cross-border sex trafficking, of which he was equally accused. He was neither censured by his fellow senators nor placed on trial. His followers have taken their cue from his declaration, convinced that the greater the crime, the greater its deserving of immunity.

How many of the hundreds of cases of impunity need one cite, with their corresponding gestures of appeasement? Where does one begin? 

Can the Nigerian police or judicial records reveal how many were prosecuted when a man called Gideon Akaluka was beheaded, his head paraded on a stake through the streets of Kano in northern Nigeria, for allegedly desecrating the Quran? It turned out no such offense had been committed. Nor has there been a single arrest in the secondary school where an invigilating teacher, a Mrs. Oluwasesin, was stripped naked, beaten, and then “necklaced”—set on fire by students for allegedly “treating the Quran with disrespect.” Her real crime? She had confiscated a Quran—and, incidentally, a Bible as well—from cheating students during a paper on religious studies.

 How does one convey scenes where killers perform ritual recitations before or after the meticulous throat-slitting of schoolchildren, in the conviction that this carries the same potency of immunity as papal indulgences once did in the decadent era of Christianity? 

For decades, leaders of those communities remained mute or uttered pietisms. Now the foot soldiers have matured on the taste of blood. They understand the essence of power. Some have come to realize they have been programmed, used, abused, and discarded. Now they seek to exercise power and have turned on all, mentors and appeasers alike.

Nigeria is at war. The Somalia scenario nibbles at her cohesion. When we insisted that the nation had become a prime target of al Qaeda, the reply was that Boko Haram was a homegrown phenomenon—as if this were ever the question! The reality is that it has, inevitably, developed ties with al Qaeda and its borderless company of religious insurgency. 

Only a few have sown the wind, but that wind was fanned by the breath of appeasement. Only one choice remains: to ride, or else reap, the whirlwind.

Aigbofa:
Is there any politician who can speak Yoruba like that anymore? I don't agree with everything he said, partly because I don't understand all the prevailing issues at that time, but I surely enjoyed the pure, undiluted Yoruba he spoke. I don't think there are many people today who can explain several issues in Yoruba the way he did without mixing it with English language.

There are still a few left.
