BOKO HARAM from these video has made real their threat to create a caliphate in the North. If these young generations are supporting and sympathetic to Boko Haram, their ideology,philosophy and government, then, even when they are crushed by the government if ever, we still have a big problem at hand in Nigeria. It's a matter of time before they take over the whole country. |

By Anne Harding WebMD Feature Reviewed by Arefa Cassoobhoy, MD, MPH More states are passing laws that allow people to use medical marijuana. So what does it treat, and who can and should use it? Pain is the main reason people ask for a prescription, says Barth Wilsey, MD, a pain medicine specialist at the University of California Davis Medical Center. It could be from headaches, a disease like cancer, or a long-term condition, like glaucoma or nerve pain. Recommended Related to Pain Management If you live in a state where medical marijuana is legal and your doctor thinks it would help, you’ll get a “marijuana card.” You will be put on a list that allows you to buy marijuana from an authorized seller, called a dispensary. Doctors also may prescribe medical marijuana to treat: Muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis Nausea from cancer chemotherapy Poor appetite and weight loss caused by chronic illness, such as HIV, or nerve pain Seizure disorders Crohn's disease The FDA has also approved THC, a key ingredient in marijuana, to treat nausea and improve appetite. It's available by prescription Marinol (dronabinol) and Cesamet (nabilone). How Does It Work? Your body already makes marijuana-like chemicals that affect pain, inflammation, and many other processes. Marijuana can sometimes help those natural chemicals work better, says Laura Borgelt, PharmD, of the University of Colorado. How Is It Used? Medical marijuana may be: Smoked Vaporized (heated until active ingredients are released, but no smoke is formed) Eaten (usually in the form of cookies or candy) Taken as a liquid extract Side Effects Side effects of marijuana that usually don’t last long can include: Dizziness Drowsiness Short-term memory loss Euphoria More serious side effects include severe anxiety and psychosis. Risks and Limits Medical marijuana is not monitored like FDA-approved medicines. When using it, you don’t know its potential to cause cancer, its purity, potency, or side effects. Only people who have a card from a doctor should use medical marijuana. Doctors will not prescribe medical marijuana to anyone under 18. Others who should not use it: People with heart disease Pregnant women People with a history of psychosis |
Letter from one of the most evil King Leopold II of Belgium to Colonial Missionaries, 1883 Reverends, Fathers and Dear Compatriots: The task that is given to fulfill is very delicate and requires much tact. You will go certainly to evangelize, but your evangelization must inspire above all Belgium interests. Your principal objective in our mission in the Congo is never to teach the niggers to know God, this they know already. They speak and submit to a Mungu, one Nzambi, one Nzakomba, and what else I don't know. They know that to kill, to sleep with someone else's wife, to lie and to insult is bad. Have courage to admit it; you are not going to teach them what they know already. Your essential role is to facilitate the task of administrators and industrials, which means you will go to interpret the gospel in the way it will be the best to protect your interests in that part of the world. For these things, you have to keep watch on disinteresting our savages from the richness that is plenty [in their underground. To avoid that, they get interested in it, and make you murderous] competition and dream one day to overthrow you. Your knowledge of the gospel will allow you to find texts ordering, and encouraging your followers to love poverty, like “Happier are the poor because they will inherit the heaven” and, “It's very difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom of God.” You have to detach from them and make them disrespect everything which gives courage to affront us. I make reference to their Mystic System and their war fetish – warfare protection – which they pretend not to want to abandon, and you must do everything in your power to make it disappear. Your action will be directed essentially to the younger ones, for they won't revolt when the recommendation of the priest is contradictory to their parent's teachings. The children have to learn to obey what the missionary recommends, who is the father of their soul. You must singularly insist on their total submission and obedience, avoid developing the spirit in the schools, teach students to read and not to reason. There, dear patriots, are some of the principles that you must apply. You will find many other books, which will be given to you at the end of this conference. Evangelize the niggers so that they stay forever in submission to the white colonialists, so they never revolt against the restraints they are undergoing. Recite every day – “Happy are those who are weeping because the kingdom of God is for them.” Letter from King Leopold II of Belgium to Colonial Missionaries, 1883 2 Convert always the blacks by using the whip. Keep their women in nine months of submission to work freely for us. Force them to pay you in sign of recognition-goats, chicken or eggs-every time you visit their villages. And make sure that niggers never become rich. Sing every day that it's impossible for the rich to enter heaven. Make them pay tax each week at Sunday mass. Use the money supposed for the poor, to build flourishing business centres. Institute a confessional system, which allows you to be good detectives denouncing any black that has a different consciousness contrary to that of the decision-maker. Teach the niggers to forget their heroes and to adore only ours. Never present a chair to a black that comes to visit you. Don't give him more than one cigarette. Never invite him for dinner even if he gives you a chicken every time you arrive at his house. “The above speech which shows the real intention of the Christian missionary journey in Africa was exposed to the world by Mr. Moukouani Muikwani Bukoko, born in the Congo in 1915, and who in 1935 while working in the Congo, bought a second hand Bible from a Belgian priest who forgot the speech in the Bible. – Dr. Chiedozie Okoro http://www.reunionblackfamily.com/apps/blog/show/11410954-letter-from-one-of-the-most-evil-king-leopold-ii-of-belgium-to-colonial-missionaries-1883

WHEN WILL AFRICA AND AFRICANS CONTROL WHAT BELONGS TO THEM?

The "Benin Massacre" Blacks History And Africa Education. In November Phillips made a formal request to his superiors in England for permission to invade Benin City, and, in late December 1896, without waiting for a reply or approval from London, Phillips embarked on a military expedition with two Niger Coast Protectorate Force officers, a medical officer, two trading agents, 250 African soldiers masquerading in part as porters, and in part as a drum and pipe band. To disguise their true intent, the force's weapons were hidden in the baggage carried by the 'porters'. His request to London was to depose the king of Benin City, replace him with a Native Council and pay for the invasion with the 'ivory' he hoped to find in the Benin king's palace. In the meantime he sent a message forward to the Oba, Benin's king, that his present mission was to discuss trade and peace and demanding admission to the territory in defiance of Benin law explicitly forbidding his entry. Unfortunately for Phillips, some Itsekiri trading chiefs sent a message to the Benin king that 'the white man is bringing war'. On receiving the news the Benin king quickly summoned the city's high-ranking nobles for an emergency meeting, and during the discussions the Iyase, the commander in chief of the Benin Army argued that the British were on planning a surprise attack and must be defeated. The Benin king however argued that the British should be allowed to enter the city so that it can be ascertained whether or not the visit was a friendly one. The Iyase ignored the king's views, and ordered the formation of a strike force that was commanded by the Ologbose, a senior army commander, which was sent to Gwato to destroy the invaders. On 4 January 1897, the Benin strike force composed mainly of border guards and servants of some chiefs caught Phillips' column totally unprepared at Ugbine village near Gwato. Since Phillips was not expecting any opposition and was unaware that his operation was being perceived with alarm in Benin, the contingent's only weapons, consisting of the officers' pistols, were locked up in the head packs of the African porters. Only two British officers survived the annihilation of Phillips' expedition, which became known as the 'The Benin Massacre' .

The free lunch mentality of we Africans is our greatest problems, most of these countries that give us aids have no natural resources like us. We need to start thinking of how to harness our own resources to the benefit of our people. |
The writer is probably afraid America is loossing her grip on Africa to China! |
American Foreign Policy Toward Africa For many of us, the American lack of attention toward Africa is short-sighted and frustrating. It is to the great credit of the National Committee on American Foreign Policy that it has devoted the entire November-December issue of its journal, American Foreign Policy Interests, to “Africa’s Conflicting Challenges: Security vs. Modernization.” The guest editor of this special issue is Herman J. Cohen, a former assistant secretary of state for Africa. The lead articles are by Macky Sall, who was elected president of Senegal in 2012 in free and fair elections and born after the colonial era was over, and Johnnie Carson, assistant secretary of state for Africa throughout President Obama’s first term. President Sall argues for a new U.S.-Africa partnership based on trade and investment, while Ambassador Carson details the successes (often quiet and not dramatic) of the Obama administration’s Africa policy. In contributions by other authors, Sudan and South Sudan receive detailed attention. Ambassador Princeton Lyman, ret., analyzes South Sudan’s unresolved issues, especially timely given the current fighting there. Ambassador Dane Smith, ret., looks at the governance challenges and their contexts in Khartoum. Col. Laura Varhola and Col. Thomas Shepherd look at the U.S. and Africa from a military perspective, while I question whether Washington’s approach is becoming too influenced by military considerations related to terrorism. Ray Leonard, a president and CEO with extensive experience in the hydrocarbon industry, looks at the future of African oil production. The issue concludes with Ambassador Cohen’s review of Richard Dowden’s important book, Africa: Altered States, Ordinary Miracles. Ambassador Cohen’s introduction lays the table for the intellectual feast. His concluding “For the Record” gives high marks to the Obama administration’s Africa policy, with one glaring exception: it has been too silent on Rwandan and Ugandan intervention in the eastern Congo. Too often an assessment of an administration’s Africa policy is based on a numbers game, how many visits an American president and a secretary of state have made to the continent, how many African heads of state have visited the White House. This volume is an important corrective to the view that somehow the Obama administration has “ignored” Africa.

Nigeria is in deep trouble with politicians, they loot, launder the money abroad, send their kids to schools abroad, and fail in their oversight function of checkmating other arms of government to deliver dividend of democracy, look at how generation of youths are being wasted because of ASUU strike and we have committee on Education in both House of Reps and the Senate, they'll reap what they are sowing before the die, which is, a Nigeria with high crime rate and insecurity. |
Nigeria House of Reps unable to account for N750 million constitution review funds Ogala Emmanuel Published: October 22,2013 Sunset at the National Assembly A Freedom of Information response issued by Nigeria’s House of Representatives on how it spent N1 billion taxpayers’ funds it received for the conduct of the constitution review is fuelling another round of suspicions of fraud. The House reacted to an FOI request by a Nigerian youth group demanding a detailed financial statement of the constitution review process. The FOI request had four demands: requesting to know the actual budget for the constitution review, amount spent so far, and a financial statement of the amount spent so far. The request also included a publication of the voting records of the lawmakers on the constitution review. In its response, the House admitted receiving N1 billion for the job, but said it had only spent N750 million, leaving a balance of N250million. But the Reps’ response to the third question demanding a financial statement of the amount spent so far is what is fuelling suspicions of fraud, cover up and deception. “We requested a financial statement, but what we got, we don’t even know what to call it,” Samson Itodo, the coordinator of the requesting group - Youth Alliance on Constitution Reform – said. Rather than issue a document showing credits and debits, the House only pointed to general activities it spent funds on, without stating any figures or amounts. For instance, as part of its financial statement, the clerk of the House of Reps Constitution Review Committee, Chinedu Akubuweze, who signed the response, said the House of Reps Constitution Review Committee “has conducted a variety of activities and expenditure covering the following: Peoples’ Public Sessions in 360 Federal Constituencies and other public hearings and engagement.” He also said the committee spent monies on retreats, seminars, transportation, accommodation, data collation and analysis, and so on; but could not provide the details of the finances of each item, the crux of a financial statement. [Download copy of the ‘financial statement’ here] Transparency Pressures Nigerian lawmakers have recently been under pressure to publicise their accounts following years of spending public funds without publishing financial statements. A recent publication by The Economist magazine rated Nigerian lawmakers as the highest paid in the world. The National Assembly, since climbing on to Nigeria’s priority first-line-charge institution (getting funds independently and directly from the federation account, just like the judiciary and executive) has kept details of its budget and expenditure secret. The National Assembly approves its own expenditure with no known government agency auditing its accounts since it was put on the first line charge. The actual official amount each lawmaker receives as perks is also shrouded in secrecy. A recent transparency protest by young Nigerians only succeeded in obtaining an obsolete payslip of the senators, containing only information on pay approved by a government agency that stipulates pay packages for public office holders. The protest followed suspicions that the lawmakers secretly earn more, since their public earnings cannot support their lifestyles. Unfair question The House of Reps Constitution Review Committee is headed by its Deputy speaker, Emeka Ihedioha, placing him directly in charge of the utilisation of the N750 million credited to the committee. His office also could not offer an explanation. An official of the deputy speaker’s office said it was unfair for PREMIUM TIMES to ask his boss if the committee keeps financial records. “Ask Mr. Akubueze – the Clerk of the committee,” Oke Opia, the spokesperson for Mr. Ihedioha said. Mr. Akubueze signed the FOI response that established the committee’s inability to explain how it spent the N750 million it received for the constitution review. Mr. Ihedioha was unreachable on his private lines. Not smart, covering up, not accountable Young activists have criticised the House of Reps for not acting transparent enough in its response to the FOI request. “When I saw first saw it – the financial statement – I laughed,” Olumide Samuel, who also participated in the recent transparency protest, said. “Do they think we are dumb?” he asked. “How can this be a financial statement? They are possibly playing games with us.” His sentiments are echoed across the young Nigerian activists’ community. Majority of young activists who spoke to PREMIUM TIMES believe that the House simply disregarded their intelligence by offering such “final statement.” Others believe the House of Representatives does not have records of its expenditure of the constitution review funds. “They seem to arbitrarily spend cash and no one oversights them,” Mr. Itodo said. “They possibly do not have records, or maybe they do not just want to be accountable to the public.” The youth group plans to use the court to compel the lawmakers to compile and publish details of its expenditure of the N1 billion constitution review funds. |
biz1234: This is where the power of leverage comes in, the more people you have in your circle that are active, the more money you will keep making for life. This is the only business that guarantees you consistent income even after you have retired. That is why the kind of income you generate here is called passive or residual income.Yes BOSS, you get the jake, People! People!! and People!!! and we have lots of them in Nigeria 160 Million, minus the ones born today that will turn 18 in 18 years. I bless the day i joined this business.

2. They tried selling to Nigerians who are not Health Conscious but Wealth Conscious That Nigerians are not health conscious is stating the obvious. It is evident in the way and manner we handle our immediate environment.It is only in Nigeria that people will leave the garbage bin to drop and litter refuse in water drainage or worst still litter roads with refuse. Nigerians can defecate anywhere they deem convenient anytime. Nigerians hardly visit Doctors for medical check-ups unless they are quarter-to-die. The fall out of the above explanation is further ignorance about organic and in-organic products. Most of the supplements produced by these companies are usually expensive because they are products extracted from nature. Let's use a simple example, imagine you sell different types of drinks. You tell a Nigerian, Drink A has no label, it contains 25 cubes of sugar and is sold for N 100 and DRINK B is from XYZ company, it's fresh natural juice, squeezed from the source and is organic, promotes good health, and the cost is N 200, which one will a typical Nigeria go for? Your guess is as good as mine. NOTE: It can work in other developed countries but in Nigeria, it's better you don't focus on buying and selling Lesson: Any Network Marketing Business model that is based on selling products (supplements)to customers only with the hope to build a fortune from profit is pathway to frustration (At least in Nigeria). Even when they want to buy, most customers will buy on Credit and pay you piece meal till you'll spend all your money on transport or fuel trying to collect money from your so called customers; at the end of the day, you waste your time, energy and money after which you'll end up droping out never to return again. |
greenhope: So I say Network Marketing is the best thing that capitalism has produced because you now own your own economy. And in Nigeria I have colleagues who are earning over 3.6m in network marketing monthly in less than a year through focus and deliberate work and so many other Nigerians who hardly share.Thanks Greenhope,When they say we are developing country, it's not all about infrastructures alone, it also includes the speed with which we embrace ideas, business ideas inclusive. Glad we have few people like you, who thinks ahead of their time. |
Next we'll be discussing the second reason which is : Selling to people that are not health conscious but wealth conscious. |
At the mention of Network Marketing business lots of Nigerians flee. Their running away could be as a result of bad experiences or wrong information and mis-information about the business. I will be sharing in this thread 5 REASONS Nigerians missed in the Network marketing business and how it is the best investment you can ever put your money into in life. 1. Network Marketing is all about HAWKING DRUGS: 2. They tried selling to Nigerians who are not Health Conscious but Wealth Conscious 3. They partner with Network Companies with limited range of products 4. They don't work as a team. Everyone is working independently and selfishly striving to outdo each other 5. They partner with Network Marketing Company with big but shallow reward schemes 1. Network Marketing is all about HAWKING DRUGS: Reach 0806-573-3884 or ping: 23BE19CA Network Marketing is far away from anything like selling or hawking drugs. Nigerians who started this business did so on a wrong note. I guess they started the way they did based on our get rich quick mentality and short time perspectives in planning. Network Marketing Business is not about buying and selling products, because selling products will not get you rich, as the profit margin is very minimal. NETWORK MARKETING IS ALL ABOUT YOUR SOCIAL CAPITAL- WHAT IS SOCIAL CAPITAL AND WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOURS : SOCIAL CAPITAL is the money that exist in the pockets of your social circle, the question is, what do you do with that money? Do you guys just go clubbing or hanging out in joints or smoking cigarettes? Network Marketing harness the power of your social capital to provide an ideal PLAN B stream of income for you. Network Marketing helps you and your Social Circle to work together to build a fortune you can enjoy at a later age. Network Marketing Company according to Harvard Business school should produce wide range of repetitive ordered products , so for those of us that has been mislead the business is about drugs, please be better informed. Most of those products that looks like drugs are actually foods compressed into tablets, caplet, capsules and syrups as the case may be. So what most of these products do is to supplement the nutrients that are either absent or deficient in the food we consume. In Conclusion, for those that want to venture into marketing, the good news is that a good Network Marketing Company will not : 1. Ask you to be hawking products 2. Will not be producing one range of products only |
