AFRICANS ‘EVICTED FROM CHINESE HOTELS OVER COVID-19 FEARS
The Ghana Report,
By Sefanam Agbobli On Apr 8, 2020


Hundreds of African residents and businessmen in Guangzhou, China have been kicked out from hotels and apartments as local health officials rollout a testing campaign for COVID-19, community leaders have told the BBC.

The affected persons have accused the local authorities of discrimination.

Those affected include African students and businessmen. A Nigerian student in the area, Tobenna Victor, who was evicted from his apartment, told the BBC “they are accusing us of having the virus”.

“We paid rent to them and after collecting rent they chased us out of the house. Since last night we have been sleeping outside,” he added.

Businessman Lunde Okulunge Isidore, from the Democratic Republic of Congo, said, “They came to my house. They told me to wait after 24 hours for the result, [but] after 24 hours nobody contacted me.”

Whiles some of the residents told the BBC they had been evicted from their apartments, others said they had been forced into quarantine without knowing the results of their tests.

Online rumours in China were rife that the coronavirus was spreading fast in African communities, including Guangzhou.

According to the reports, the African communities in China were under lockdown. But Chines authorities denied these claims on Tuesday.

Guangzhou is home to one of China’s largest African communities and has become a hub for African traders buying and selling goods to the continent.

The BBC reports that there are rising concerns in China over the increase in several imported COVID-19 cases, which authorities fear could fuel a second outbreak.

Since March, Guangzhou has required people arriving from abroad to be quarantined for 14 days.

Ha ha ha! Go live abroad. Enjoy EASY life abroad.


Rather than stay and use the same energy and courage to fix the country God made you to be born. You rather go abroad to make money and for EASY life. If all of us run abroad, who then can fix Nigeria?

May God Almighty judge between us all on Judgement Day. Whether it is right to flee your country of birth for easy life, for money, for fulfilment of potentials. Or whether it is right to remain in Nigeria and play a manly role, trying as you can, God watching your efforts, to bring Light in this Dark Nigeria.
HealthMy Take On Chinese Doctors For Covid-19 Drama by meavox(op): 9:01am On Apr 09, 2020
The government wants to bring in Chinese doctors abi?

These Chinese doctors are not for ordinary Nigerian people.

They are for the elite since they are now stuck in Nigeria. They and their children who are not already abroad are frightened for their lives and cannot go to any primitive and Nigerian hospital

There are private hospitals but the elite prefer FOREIGN doctors too. Because what if a Nigerian doctor even after taking payment, decides to give them the justice they deserve for looting Nigeria dry?

And these Chinese doctors will come with ventilators and other equipment the elite need to stay alive in this world for as long as possible.

Plus their babalao must have advised them to get Chinese doctors, and rituals have been done.

The British epidemiologist from London's Imperial College who at first said 500,000 (half a million) British would die has now said about 20,000 would.

There is information coming out that most people who show symptoms recover without needing to go to hospital. And many don't even show signs of illness.

The world shall soon find out that THE CURE IS WORSE THAN THE DISEASE.

IF A MAN WON’T WORK NEITHER SHOULD HE EAT

“Africa has the world’s poorest and hungriest people, yet it is the RICHEST continent when it comes to natural resources. And its people are the most religious (not godly though), yet are labelled “the wretched of the earth” because of the squalor, lack, corruption and violence societies live by.

In Nigeria, and it applies to all Black Africa, there are extremely high levels of unemployment and under-employment with many people BEGGING for food and money. Not just the beggars on the streets, but across the board there is constant begging. Relatives beg those abroad to send them money or items. Relatives in the country beg for food items, for money to pay hospital and school fees. People beg for phones, for money to start a business etc. It is just continuous begging and tourists and foreign visitors are also harassed with begging requests from Nigerians. It seems that people feel entitled to what others have and will regularly beg.

It has become so commonplace for Nigerians (and Africans) to use POVERTY AS AN EXCUSE to do nothing, and to beg at every opportunity. People feel ENTITLED TO FOOD but this is what Scripture says about eating in 2 Thessalonians 3:10b:-
- The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat. (NIV)
- That if any would not work, neither should he eat. (KJV)
- If anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either. (Amplified)
- If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. (ESV)

The Bible is CLEAR that anybody who is NOT WORKING should NOT eat. This must be a hard saying to those Nigerians (and Africans) who feel ENTITLED to daily food. This is what God, the Creator of man says. If we honour the Bible as God’s Word we will value its teaching.

Let’s look at it again. If YOU are not working, God says YOU are NOT entitled to food. You may have no job but you MUST WORK so that God will see you as deserving food. So to all those Nigerians who are unemployed, you must find work to do each day, or at least from Monday to Friday. You must do WORK even if you get no pay for it. The environment is filthy, so wear appropriate protection and find a patch to look after (decide this with your God). Corruption fills the land and continent, so find some anti-corruption work to do online or physically. Volunteer with an NGO. Tweet and re-Tweet. Like and comment on Facebook. Sign online petitions. Volunteer at a school to help in classes. Be a mentor. Prepare plant seedlings of mango, avocado, lemon, oranges etc then plant them in schools, hospitals, streets etc. Do the research to find how to do so. Consult with lecturers at your local polytechnic, college or university. FIND WORK TO DO! Even if you are unemployed.

God says if a man does not work he is not entitled to food. So even if you are unemployed, God insists you must work. Unemployment is one thing. Work is quite another thing. Let us not confuse them. When you are working, then God in His Providence will see to it that you eat. Begging is not the answer. Doing WORK is the answer. Nigeria and all Black Africa is in a bad sad state because those who should work are begging instead.
There is environmental cleanliness work to be done. There is anti-corruption work to be done. There is educational assistance work in schools to be done. There is social action work to be done. There is citizen participation work to be done.
God says clearly that if you do not work, you are NOT ENTITLED to food. And you harm your own self with laziness and begging for “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” (Galatians 6:7)

Being unemployed is not an excuse for idleness. Poverty is not any excuse not to work, it is also not an excuse to be lazy or to steal (and commit crime). Not in God’s Eyes anyway. And it is what God thinks that counts. Not what I think. Not what you think. Those who read this message have a DUTY to correct citizens and tell them that no matter their condition, they must WORK if they want to eat.

Note: Of course the disabled are in a different category.”

Bible is meant to make people wise.

But it seem to have confused a lot more
What's confusing about Scripture's PLAIN teaching that: if a man does not work he is not entitled to food?

Ah. But those Nigerians who believe in their own minds that they should eat even though they do no work, they will be confused. Because food without work is what they want to enjoy.

This post made it PLAIN and CLEAR that even an unemployed person must find some kind of work to do so that God will know he deserves his food.

The article below by World Economic Forum shows us plainly the damage our civil servants and politicians have heaped upon us.

===================================================================

WHY SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA NEEDS A UNIQUE RESPONSE TO COVID-19
World Economic Forum, 30 March 2020

• Malnutrition and disease means COVID-19 could be more deadly in Africa than elsewhere in the world.
• Health systems in Africa have limited capacity to absorb the pandemic.

On 11 March, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 a pandemic. Africa was initially spared, however this is changing rapidly. In the last two weeks, the number of affected African countries increased from 9 to 41. As people continue to travel, it is only a matter of time before COVID-19 spreads to the rest of the 54 countries on the continent. As I write this from Monrovia, Liberia – a country whose health system has suffered enormous challenges due to civil wars and the Ebola epidemic in 2014 – I am compelled to highlight that one size does not fit all, and special considerations need to be taken into account as we develop the COVID-19 response for Africa.

The continent’s population and health systems make it different from other regions that have experienced COVID-19 to date. Three factors are important at the population level.

1) First, the continent’s demographic structure is different from other regions in the world. The median age of the 1.3 billion population in Africa is 19.7 years. By contrast, the median age in China is: 38.4 years, and the median age in the European Union is: 43.1 years.
Experiences in Asia and Europe showed that people over 60, and those with significant health problems are most vulnerable to severe cases of COVID-19. Although Africa’s youth may be considered a significant protective factor in the pandemic, how the virus will evolve and manifest itself on the continent remains unknown.

2) The second factor within the population is the high prevalence of malnutrition, anemia, malaria, HIV/AIDs, and tuberculosis. Liberia, for example, has one of the highest rates of stunting in the world: one in three children under five years old are stunted. In recent weeks, we have witnessed an increase in the incidence of malnutrition. Moreover, the rainy season has come early this year, which means that malaria cases will rise rapidly and peak malaria cases in 2020 may coincide with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

We should therefore anticipate that in Africa a higher incidence of severe forms of COVID-19 will occur in younger patients because of the demographics and associated endemic conditions that affect the immune system. Malnutrition, anemia, malaria, HIV/AIDs, and tuberculosis are likely to increase the severity of COVID-19. Africa may not see the same narrative of “most people who get it will be fine” play out.

3) Third, social cohesion and social gatherings are of great importance in Africa. For example, weekly attendance of a religious service is highest in Africa with rates as high as 82% in Uganda and Ethiopia. As a result, measures to impose social and physical distancing may prove to be more challenging, as demonstrated by the protests that broke out on 20 March 2020 in Senegal after public gatherings, including gatherings at mosques were banned as cases of COVID-19 rose. Earlier this week, Tanzania came under scrutiny when it was announced that the country will not close places of worship.

There are two major health system factors that will make the COVID-19 response in Africa more challenging. First, the continent is experiencing the double burden of diseases: in addition to dealing with these endemic infectious diseases, health systems in Africa are facing non-communicable diseases, including injury, and cancer. As a result, the health systems are stretched thin to begin with, and there is very little room to absorb the COVID-19 pandemic.

Second, the capacity to provide critical care is the LOWEST in the world. Severe forms of COVID-19 lead to respiratory failure requiring ventilation support. The ability to treat severe forms of COVID-19 will depend on the availability of ventilators, electricity, and oxygen. A recent analysis of countries with the highest numbers of intensive care beds per capita does not include any country from Africa. In Liberia for example, there are no intensive care units (ICU) with ventilators. Uganda has 0.1 ICU bed/100,000 population. In contrast, the United States has 34.7 beds/100,000 population.

The African context is unique. There are population structure differences, high prevalence of endemic diseases and the double burden of disease, with health systems that are stretched thin with minimal critical care capacity.

TITBITS FROM BLOOMBERG’S “NEXT AFRICA” NEWSLETTER
Friday 3rd April 2020

Welcome to Next Africa, a weekly newsletter of where the continent stands now — and where it's going next.

When it comes to debt, much of Africa is at a tipping point.
For years, countries have done little to tackle surging debt burdens. Now, with the world economy slammed by the coronavirus outbreak and the price of the commodities they export plunging, lockdowns are disrupting businesses both at home and in the markets they sell to. No-one knows when the supply chains will return to normal.

In the past week that was brought home to South Africa and Zambia….

Nigeria, Ghana, Gabon and Cameroon all have Eurobonds now trading at a spread of more than 1,000 basis points over U.S. Treasuries, the point above which the securities are considered to be distressed debt.

With the coronavirus outbreak raging in Europe and the U.S. and in its infancy in Africa, there’s little relief on the horizon. All the indebted nations can do is rue not heeding warnings against over borrowing during better times.

— Antony Sguazzin

Coronavirus Roundup
Weeks Away | With almost all the nations in sub-Saharan Africa now shut off from the rest of the world and their neighbors, and many in lockdowns, the United Nations warned the region may be two to three weeks away from the worst of the pandemic storm. The UN's Economic Commission for Africa said the countries need $100 billion in emergency stimulus to battle the virus and to support fragile healthcare systems.

Lockdown Effect | The world's poorest nations, many of them in Africa, are the least prepared for the lockdowns seen as crucial to contain the disease. In Benin, the government is reluctant to put in place measures that may spur hunger and force citizens to defy restrictions. Lockdowns in other areas are raising the specter of abuses by those enforcing the laws.

Other News
MTN Nigeria | MTN, Africa's biggest mobile-phone operator, will push ahead with a plan to cut a 79% stake in its Nigeria business, even though market upheaval may require it be done in smaller transactions than anticipated. The Johannesburg-based company plans to sell part of its largest division after a series of disputes with Nigerian authorities.

Last Word
Nigeria's elite are finding there is no escape from the coronavirus. Powerful Nigerians could for decades ignore the government’s failure to invest adequately in the health-care system by seeking medical treatment abroad. Now, borders are closed and commercial flights and private jets have been grounded, blocking routes to doctors in the U.K., France and India. The 174 people infected in Africa's most-populous nation include Abba Kyari, the president's chief of staff and regarded as the second-most powerful person in the country, four out of 36 state governors and a son of ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

NIGERIA’S FREEDOM FIGHTERS

If MEND (Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta) had not accepted the “Amnesty programme” Southern Nigeria and possibly also Middle Belt would have been free by now.

At that time the West needed Nigeria’s oil, and Nigeria’s cabal wanted the oil money, so they gave MEND the bad name of “militant group” whereas in fact MEND were FREEDOM FIGHTERS.

As so often happens, Nigerians can be bought by the offer of food. We call it “stomach infrastructure”. The leaders of MEND for food for SELF gave up trying to free their people. Then the others in MEND for food called Amnesty, also chose not to free their people.

Today nothing has changed except the West is no longer interested in Nigeria’s oil for they are now in the Renewable Energy era. Ogoniland and the oil producing areas environments remain poisoned and clean-up will take over 60 years from the day it starts. The cabal continues to have and plunder the oil money. Gas continues to be flared – a great waste of Niger Deltan money plus this pollutes the air and damages the lungs of Niger Deltans – a bad thing now that the dreaded Coro has landed in Nigeria.

MEND could have set the Niger Delta and Southern Nigeria free, they had the potential to do it. Free from the cabal that is killing its people by deliberately destroying their environment (including through gas flaring). Free from exploitation by the West as there would by now have been resource control in Niger Delta. MEND would have gone down in history as Nigeria’s Freedom Fighters!

Today in 2020 three things are keeping the South and Middle Belt from Freedom from the Cabal. They are the same 3 things as in the past:
1) Control of Niger Delta's oil and oil money
2) The monopoly of selling beef to the South
3) Control of indigenous soldiers within the Nigerian Army

Today all the indigenous people of the South and Middle Belt should be Freedom Fighters, if we love our children enough to care about their future. Coro disease will kill some or even many of us because the Cabal has not cared about indigenous people to use our money to build the country. Then we, the indigenous people, keep on selling our birth right and our children’s future for the sake of a plate of food. Shall we continue this foolishness? Or shall we set ourselves free?

Please forward to the indigenous people of South and Middle Belt.

WAHuSa does not want our money.

They need us to support their Facebook page and Twitter. Like them, follow them, give them ideas on how we can end this horror of ritual killings.

They need us to act on the messages of their posts which is essentially to educate our children and people against ritual killing. To actively encourage Police to do more. To actively use our churches to reject ritual killings (and shrines, witch doctors etc) from our land so God can bless us.

Nigerians we can't keep on being UNCONCERNED about these things in our society. Many of us will be dying from Coro this year, even those of us who have fled abroad. Let us have something to show God that we did not live for SELF only, so He can perhaps have mercy upon our souls.

MARCH 2020 – HUMAN SACRIFICE STILL VERY MUCH PRESENT IN NIGERIA
By WAHuSa (World Against Human Sacrifice)

On a regular basis newspapers in Africa report the ongoing culture of Human Sacrifice aka ritual killing. In newspapers of 28th March 2020 in Nigeria, an 18-year old uncle and other suspects abducted then killed his 7-year old twin nephews. The eyes, hands, joysticks and other body parts of the twins were removed for rituals. The uncle said he committed this double homicide of his little nephews because he was poor and wanted to become a billionaire!

Here is the link to the article:
https://punchng.com/uncle-kills-seven-year-old-twins-for-rituals-in-delta-flees/

WAHuSa appeals to Nigerians and Africans to end this horrendous culture of Human Sacrifice. We urge citizens to be socially active and to rise up against this crime.

We appeal to Black people EVERYWHERE to not look away from Africa’s culture of Human Sacrifice saying it is no concern of mine, but to get involved in bringing it to an end. The victims of Human Sacrifice need us to care about their killing. We also need to be concerned enough so that there will be no future such victims.

We also appeal to the global community. Even though Human Sacrifice is mainly an African issue, we need the international community and international organisations to apply pressure on African leadership to implement EFFECTIVE law enforcement and criminal justice practices to ensure that Human Sacrifice ends.

Dear Nigerians, if we have children, and if we truly love them and care about what their future will be, we should be giving them information and TOOLS they need to live under good governance, just like Oyeebo children do live.

This is our duty as parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles.

Here is one interesting Tool and Suggestion.

It is from a WhatsApp post. Please consider copying and forwarding on your own WhatsApp and other social media.

============================================================================================

LEADERSHIP IN NIGERIA ARE COMMITING OFFENCES OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE AND CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE

Many young Nigerians are feeling hopeless and ashamed of their country. They fear for their future because those who got themselves into leadership positions (ie civil servants and politicians) continually plunder the public purse. Leaving next-to-nothing for development, infrastructure, welfare, or for combating diseases.

We older ones MUST help our young people by arming them with the information and orientation they need to fight off these criminals parading as leaders. One such way is to at some point in the (near) future prosecute them all for GROSS NEGLIGENCE and/or CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE against the citizens of Nigeria. For these leaders knowingly loot public coffers and are therefore completely without any form of excuse.

Simply defined,

CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE is: Reckless disregard for the lives or safety of other persons.

GROSS NEGLIGENCE is: An action or an omission in reckless disregard of the consequences to the safety or property of another.
(Source: Duhaime's Law Dictionary website)

Dear young people, you are really not as helpless as you think or as some would like you to think. It is by much Reading plus by Research, that you will know what has happened in the past and HOW countries rescued themselves from uncaring leaders who were in effect enemies of the people. You MUST rescue yourselves once and for all from bad and corrupt governance. This will involve using a whole raft of different Tools and Methods.

Please acqaint yourselves with the Tools introduced to you here: GROSS NEGLIGENCE and CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE. Google for more knowledge, then inform your peers. Plus also forward this post.

HealthCOVID-19: Innoson Ready To Produce Ventilators & Medical Equipment by meavox(op): 4:28pm On Mar 24, 2020
CORONAVIRUS: WE’RE READY TO PRODUCE VENTILATORS, OTHER MEDICAL EQUIPMENT — INNOSON
Premium Times
March 2, 2020

Nigerian auto manufacturer Innoson said on Monday that it was ready to convert its assembly lines to start producing critical medical equipment that may be in short supply as the country battles the coronavirus pandemic.

A shortage of ventilators and other critical equipment has become a growing concern amidst rising cases of COVID-19 across the world.

“Innoson Motors is ready to assist the government in any way we can, including the likability of converting out lines to produce ventilators and other equipment,” Cornel Osigwe, the company’s spokesperson, told PREMIUM TIMES on Monday, citing his discussion with Innocent Chukwuma, the group’s chairman, on the matter.

“But we need the government or other health institutions to place orders the quantity that may be required before we could take any step,” Mr Osigwe added.

With its disclosure to PREMIUM TIMES, Innoson has joined a growing list of automobile companies who expressed intention to repurpose their manufacturing plants to produce medical equipment across the world.

General Motors and Rolls Royce, major vehicle manufacturers in the United States and United Kingdom, respectively, have publicly disclosed that they could produce ventilators and other equipment.

But while many agreed that it was possible to retool a vehicle assembly line for production of ventilators, some medical equipment experts have warned that it might be several months before any results become useful.

“These are extremely sensitive machines with not only a lot of hardware, but also a lot of software. If one of the components does not work correctly, the whole machine shuts down and cannot be used any more,” Jens Hallek, a medical equipment production expert at Hamilton Medical, said Tuesday morning, Wired Magazine reported.

The Washington Post also reported that the U.S. Department of Defence had warned that it might take more than a year for carmakers or aerospace factories to start making ventilators.

Nigeria recorded its first casualty from coronavirus on Monday morning with the passing of a 67-year-old retired senior official of the state-run NNPC. The sexagenarian was amongst the 36 infections so far recorded in Nigeria since the first case was discovered on February 27, about three months after the virus broke out in China.

Nigeria is widely believed to be under-testing the number of COVID-19 carriers within its population. Less than 200 people are believed to have been tested, a grossly inadequate figure against the country’s nearly 200 million people.

Officials have admitted shortages of testing equipment, with many placing significant hope on the arrival of a consignment of testing kits and personal protective equipment from Chinese billionaire, Jack Ma.

But there are also concerns that some elderly and other immunosuppressed patients who may lose the ability to breathe on their own would not get a ventilator, a computerised unit that pumps air in and out of the lungs.

It was unclear how many ventilators are currently available at hospitals across the country, but in 2018 a medical expert decried as alarming the number of deaths being recorded in Nigeria due to acute shortage of oxygen machines.

Medical doctors at four different teaching hospitals told PREMIUM TIMES on Monday that they could not estimate more than 300 oxygen machines throughout the country.

“I cannot estimate more than 300 ventilators in Nigeria,” Segun Adeoye, a consultant neurosurgeon, told PREMIUM TIMES. “And you have to remember that all the ventilators are probably already occupied by patients suffering other forms of ailments before coronavirus outbreak.”

Mr Adeoye said Nigeria would be better off preventing large scale infection amongst the citizens because the requisite medical equipment to support hundreds of patients at once “are just not there.”

Enefaa Bob-Manual Officials at the federal ministry of health declined to comment on Nigeria’s ventilator capacity or whether the government had commenced efforts to acquire the equipment to support potential demand from the pandemic.

HOW INDIGENOUS PEOPLE CAN RESCUE NIGERIA

After 60 terrible years we know there is no future here for indigenous people of Nigeria except another similar 60 years of backwardness and corruption for our children.

After 60 awful years we now know the solution for indigenous people of Nigeria is SEPARATION FROM AREWA. Fulani are not Nigerians like we are and until 1804 our ancestors did not know them, for they were separated from us in their own ancestral home.

After 60 rotten years we have been able to identify the way Fulani have power over us. Can the invaders from Futa Jalon survive without:

1) Niger Delta's oil money?
2) Their monopoly of selling beef to the South?
3) The Nigerian Army?

So if we indigenous people stop all the 3 things above, we break their hold and can SEPARATE FROM AREWA.

The owners of the oil must take back control of their resources. The South and Middle Belt must boycott beef. The soldiers from South and Middle Belt must work for their own people or face their ancestors' anger.

South and Middle Belt must UNITE and not allow any one or anything to come between us and our united determination to rescue ourselves.
PoliticsLesson For All The Southerners: Beware Of Sanusi by meavox(op): 5:42pm On Mar 23, 2020
LESSON FOR ALL THE SOUTHERNERS: BEWARE OF SANUSI

Kemisola Omotoyinbo, 23 March 2020

……
To all the Southerners expressing their opinions for or against Sanusi, I say take it easy. Let us siddon, buy popcorn and coke and be watching this movie. There might be more to this than meets the eye. Whether this crisis is real or not, one thing I know about the North is that they never lose sight of their true goal or do anything to sabotage it: Total domination of Nigeria is their only ambition. When it comes to that, they stand together and they plan far ahead.

Under Obasanjo, with Okonji-Iweala as Finance Minister, and Soludo as CBN Governor, Southern Banks became very powerful, financing infrastructural and economic growth not only in Southern Nigeria but even in other African countries. Nigeria was on the way to becoming a true financial and economic powerhouse for the Black World. Southern Banks were a threat to Foreign Capital (West, Middle East and Far East) and also a threat to the Northern hegemonic plans.

When Sanusi was made CBN Governor under Yar’Adua, the first thing he did was to target Southern Banks and begin to weaken them one after the other under the guise of fighting corruption. At the same time he reopened the door for foreign as well as Islamic financial capital. He effectively conducted an economic jihad that halted the advance of the South and put the North back in a favorable strategic position.

Now 2023 is coming -
The North has realized one thing: NIGERIA IS RIPE FOR CHANGE! The Northern strategists would prefer that the modernizing of Nigeria takes place under a Northerner than under a Southerner. So they have to present a viable Northern candidate for that. This is where Sanusi comes into the picture.

If you study Sanusi’s actions, you will see that he is deeply pro-North and anti-South in a very intelligent progressive way. Sanusi understands what it takes to make the North overtake and dominate the South IN EVERY WAY in a modern world.
But when you hear him talk you will think he is a detribalised pan-Nigerian government critic, which is why so many Southerners foolishly support him.
The North understand that Sanusi would be more valuable to them as the President of Nigeria than as the Emir of Kano. He would not only help the North to overtake the South systemically and on all possible levels. He would also modernize Nigeria, so that the credit for the modernization of Nigeria will go to a Northerner. The Northern future-planners would rather have Sanusi in a position to become the President of Nigeria.

-----------------
Exactly my own I thinking. Any southerner that does not see this wicked Islamic jihadist being re-positioned is dreaming. Sanusi destroyed southern banks, drove away their CEOs and jailed some. Erastus Akingbola built Intercontinental Bank from the scratch and Sanusi took it from him while he ran for his life. Sanusi was a terror working with his people in the EFCC. The story had it that Saraki wanted Akingbola to buy Societe Generale Bank which he looted into coma and he refused. Saraki then approached Sanusi who was his classmate at Kings College, Lagos to use his position as The CBN Governor to destroy Intercontinental Bank and Akingbola. Sanusi then looked for a reason to do the job.
That was how he came up with the hoax audit report which he used to destroy Southern banks. Those banks were not in distress at all. Access Bank was dying under the management of Sanusi's friend. Intercontinental Bank was then handed over to him for survival. Access Bank used Intercontinental Bank money to buy Intercontinental. Cecilia Ibru who built Oceanic Bank was dispossessed and jailed. Sanusi appointed his friends who ran down their banks to be the new managers of the Southern banks he claimed were distressed. Good logic does not permit handing over distressed banks to former bad managers if not for an agenda.

You may not have heard that Tony Elumelu refused to employ Sanusi at UBA before First Bank employed him. He rose in First Bank to MD because of the FGN's controlling share. From there he became the CBN Governor. He didn't forget or forgive Tony. That was why he came up with the 7yrs maximum term for Bank CEOs to get back at Tony. We have a wicked Islamic jihadist being let lose. Remember El Rufai saying that Fulanis neither forgive nor forget. Sanusi is a typical Fulani.

Sanusi introduced the law that Bank CEOs cannot stay beyond 7yrs. If they can't run their businesses for more than 7yrs, why are people like Dangote running theirs beyond 7yrs? He destroyed Southern banks and introduced Islamic banking because Southern banks were strengthening southern Christian economy. Where in the world do you run a business without making profit or charging interest? Buhari is borrowing from the international finance community and will pay interest but will use Southern resources to run an interest free Islamic bank. The South must wake up before it's too late.

The North hates The South in every aspect and will do everything to pull them down, but Southern leaders are blind and not thinking. The North is out to frustrate and slow down The South by all means. Sanusi is and intelligent man but an economic Boko Haram against The South. The same way Buhari canceled the Lagos State metro line to slow down Southwest development was how Sanusi used his powers at The CBN to destroy Southern economy. He is still coming. Only splitting the country will save The South. The North have been marketing Sanusi with his eloquent speeches but with a sinister agenda. Southerners seem to be carried away by his eloquent speeches but he is a very dangerous man. We warned Southerners against Buhari but they didn't listen. Another intelligent Buhari whom I will call Ahithophel is coming and they will still fall prey.

24hrs after his dramatic dethronement, El Rufai his fellow jihadist has offered him The VP of Kaduna State investment project. Sanusi has not fallen, he is rising. The South are thoughtless in many ramifications. The same educated Islamic jihadist who beheaded Gideon Akaluka also beheaded the Southern economy when he had the opportunity. The North sees him as their hatchet man. They are coming.

PoliticsRestructuring Myth In Nigeria - Basil Okoh by meavox(op): 7:43pm On Mar 22, 2020
To my Yoruba brothers, I am committed to total unity between all the indigenous people of the South and Middle Belt as Nigeria's enemy TODAY is the same one for all of us. In this article the writer mentions some PAST injustices against the SS and SE but that are still with us. I understand, but we are TODAY in a different era where UNITY between us all of South and MB is the name of the game. So read on!

======================================================================================

RESTRUCTURING MYTH IN NIGERIA.
Basil Okoh, February 8, 2020

The Northern oligarchy believe they control military and political power in Nigeria. They do not. That claim has not been tested in today’s Nigeria. The military putsch by the minority ethnic groups in April 1990 sent Ibrahim Babangida scampering and running from Lagos to pitch the Nigerian capital in Abuja.

The Yoruba believe that they dominate the economy of Nigeria. They do not. The ownership of the industrial installations in Nigeria is shared between foreign investors, increasingly Asian, Yoruba, Igbo and the minority groups particularly of the Niger Delta.

Beyond that, the oil wealth of the Niger Delta is the underlying power driving the economy of Nigeria, particularly the economy of Lagos. Without the oil wealth moving into Lagos in various taxes, ways and forms, the economy of Lagos will tank.

The Yoruba are no longer dominant in the economy of Lagos and the Western Region. When research is made, people will be amazed at how much of the West's economy is owned by the Igbo and people of the Niger Delta minorities.

So the socioeconomic landscape of Nigeria is suffused with so many assumptions not founded on facts. The economic ecosystem of the eighties and nineties are no longer applicable in understanding the economic realities of Nigeria in the twenty-first century.

The Northern Fulani oligarchy thought that by concentrating military installations in their territory, they will permanently control military power in Nigeria, menace the South and seize their wealth. They did not reckon with developments in military technology which has made most of those military equipment obsolete.

They did not also reckon with the emergence of Boko Haram, ISWAP and Ansaru which have decimated Northern populations and turned the NorthEast into a Hobbesian enclave and a huge IDP camp, posed a deadly existential threat to the feudal emirate establishment of the Muslim North and shown up the tectonic military weakness of the entire Northern Nigeria.

The Muslim North has been so hobbled militarily with roving bandits and blood lusting sectarian zealots that there is no way it can mobilize a modern force to take on a well trained and mobile two-battalion army. Northern military generals know this.

So all the preparations for war and dominance against the South has been vitiated by circumstance, seeds of implosion planted by its own designs, with nothing to do with Southern Nigeria.

The North survives today because no adventurer has taken the gamble to divide the armed forces and wage war against it. The only props holding the North together today are the Nigerian armed Forces and Niger Delta petrodollars.

The North has been at war with itself for more than a decade. If Southern oil money and the armed forces of Nigeria are taken away from it, the North will shatter into many splinter groups that will take the entire world decades to put together again.
This is why the marauding activities of the Fulani cow herders is seen by the international intelligence community as a death wish. Despite all the posturing in the bushes, the Fulani cannot muster a modern fighting force. Their ongoing raids on unprotected and unarmed communities persist because they enjoy the protection and endorsement of president Muhammadu BUHARI and the Armed Forces.

If the invaded communities procure weaponry and defend themselves, the Fulani Marauder’s will flee back to the Sahel. Imagine Fulani survival without the Monopoly of selling cattle beef in Southern Nigeria. Imagine also that Southern Nigeria can get better beef at half the price of Fulani beef.

It is the same with the Yoruba and the economy of Nigeria. The Yoruba control of the Nigerian economy was an outcome of the Civil War and was spurn by economic policies made during the Civil War years of the sixties and the early seventies.

Some of those policies made during and immediately after the war years were designed to punish the Igbo. That period also coincided with the commanding control of the economy by the Central Government dominated by Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba military officers.

With the end of the period of sleaze known as import licensing in the mid-eighties, Yoruba and Fulani domination of the import dependent economy began to unravel. By the late eighties and nineties, the Igbo and Niger Delta ethnic minority economic ascendancy was well on its way.

Thereafter came the liberalization of Bank Licensing and then the Minorities of the Niger Delta and the Igbo planted their feet in banking and other areas of the financial sector and the real competition for dominance in the new Nigerian economy began in ernest.

Even though the sector got jammed soon after, with so many hollow companies and dishonest and badly managed enterprises, real competition was well on its way to changing the economic landscape of Nigeria powered by an indigenously owned and truly thriving financial sector.

It was to be that the North got truly frightened of a renascent South and worked to bring in Lamido Sannusi to bring the uppity South down as it were.

At the height of the financial bubble that started in the closing years of the eighties, Delta citizens had six of the ten best banks and financial institutions but Lamido Sannusi brought his diabolic axe to cut down many without giving them a chance to re-energize.

The most painful being first, All-States Bank and later, Oceanic Bank and Bank-PHB. Sannusi was to flippantly betray his pre-judgement of the banks when he expressed hatred that six of the ten biggest banks come from owners from one State, Delta.

The fact therefore is that the military power of the North and the economic power of the SouthWest are all myths that died with twentieth century Nigeria and no longer have relevance today. Although competition is not native to any ethnic group, the liberalization of the economy has stimulated competition to remove Nigeria from ethnic control and dominance.

So also has the historical unravelling of the Muslim North removed military dominance from the Fulani who now must depend on soldiers from other ethnicities to assure the survival of their ethnic establishment and institutions. Any unravelling of the armed forces will signal the end of Fulani dominance in Nigeria. The army is what stands between the Fulani and perdition in Nigeria today. @basilokoh.

Now, military formations are being emplaced everywhere in Southern Nigeria, particularly in the South-South and the South-East to enforce compliance to martial laws that will soon be announced.

If you refuse the RUGA, you cannot refuse the Army Formation. The purposes and ends are all the same. The military commanders are charged with the unwritten responsibility of protecting Fulani settlements wherever they are found, without paying heed to the anger of indigenous communities. shocked

The army formations are established to suppress public revolt against Fulani occupation in Southern Nigeria. They are set up to cause fear and force acquiescence in the Southern populations. In Uwheru, Delta State recently, soldiers were called in to dislodge herdsmen bandits who had murdered nine villagers in cold blood.

The soldiers wouldn’t fire a single shot at the murderers. They were given strict orders not to shoot at murderous bandits but to negotiate to allow the recovery of the bodies of their victims. Armed soldiers were negotiating with murderous bandits in the forests of Uwheru. shocked

Governors of the South-South, not understanding the strategic geopolitical game at play are falling over themselves to locate the military formations in their home communities without asking the exigent reasons for expanding army formations in the peaceful South while closing barracks in the Northeast where a shooting war is presently ongoing. shocked Fools do indeed die first.

The army is to provide cover, legitimacy and protection to the Northern task of exporting insecurity and violence to Southern Nigeria. @basilokoh.

PoliticsThe Life Of Lamido Sannusi Nigeria Forgets - Basil Okoh by meavox(op): 10:31am On Mar 21, 2020
THE LIFE OF LAMIDO SANNUSI NIGERIA FORGETS.
Basil Okoh

Its always amusing how little of Northern Nigeria our Southern pundits know. There’s so much showboating in their unceasing pontifications on the politics of the North. They analyze the North on their own assumed terms and on the political dynamics of Southern Nigeria.

The all knowing pundits have given the responsibility for the unpopular removal of Emir Lamido Sannusi to Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje. This is naïve and lacks any understanding of the underlying politics of Islamic Northern Nigeria.

Governor Ganduje has no power or gumption of his own to remove the emir of Kano. He cannot dare. The removal of Emir Lamido Sannusi is the outcome of a collective agreement of the Sultan and the entire emirate system in consultation with the Presidency in Abuja. If such agreement with the emirate system is not secured, Lamido Sannusi will still be emir of Kano today.

If the Sultan of Sokoto, other brother emirs (all emirs in Northern Nigeria are related by blood) and President Buhari didn’t have a hand in it, Governor Ganduje would not dare to pronounce the removal of Lamido Sannusi. Otherwise, Kabuga to Kofa Mata and on to the hills of Dutse will be on fire.

Kano is the biggest,richest and most important emirate in Northern Nigeria. It has always been. Kano was a thriving commercial city, dominant in trade with the Maghreb long before Usman dan Fodio's Islamic revolution in 1804. Kano remains today, the most dominant and important city in Northern Nigeria. Cosmopolitan, Cacophonic, raw with scenic beauty in some areas, Kano is the jewel in the crown of northern business and politics.

In spite of whatever is happening today, Lamido Sannusi proved himself “worthy” and earned the title of emir of Kano by his own efforts. What many southerners do not know is that Lamido Sannusi is one of the most knowledgeable Islamic scholars in his own rights and is the head of the Wahabbi Islamic group and in fact the head of the entire Sufi in West Africa. And he earned it as a fully qualified Shari'a jurist from the International University in Sudan and another tryst in Cairo, Egypt.

The Wahabbi are the purist Islamic movement which started in Yemen and moved to Saudi Arabia to seize power and form the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Wahabbism is the religion of the House of Saud, the dominant and ruling power in Saudi Arabia.

Lamido Sannusi earned his entry into the power equation in Northern Nigeria by co-ordinating the killing of an Igbo “infidel” Gideon Akaluka, snatched from a prison cell for “desecrating” the Koran. He gained recognition for that and the Northern conservative establishment recalled that he was the grandson of deposed Emir Sannusi of Kano. He was put under the protection of the then Sultan Dasuki for two years in Sokoto and left after the Sultan himself was deposed.

He was thereafter taken as a protégé of Alhaji Umaru AbdulMutallab the northern doyen of banking. Yes the same Mutallab whose son Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab was caught trying to blow up a plane in the skies of the USA after a jihadi training in Yemen.

The rich self effacing banker Umaru AbdulMutallab has proven himself to be a steady sponsor of the Jihadi cause in Nigeria. The same Lamido Sannusi was to reward Umaru Mutallab for bringing him into banking by awarding Mutallab with a banking license for Jaiz Islamic Bank, against the rules of bank licensing at the time.

Jaiz Islamic Bank has since become a major player in providing financing for the Federal Government through the Islamic Banks. With the Sukkuk and other instruments from Islamic banking, Jaiz bank has become the bank of first patronage of the Buhari regime.

As Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Lamido Sannusi became the biggest sponsor of Islamic extremism and terrorism in Nigeria. Every security institution in Nigeria and the world know about Lamido Sannusi’s activities with terror groups during his tenure as Governor of the CBN.

His time as Governor of the CBN coincided with the period of the biggest military surge from Boko Haram Forces in the Northeast and the expansion of terrorism to Abuja and the middle belt.

There was massive acquisition of weapons from the remnant forces in Libya and particularly from Government sources in Sudan. Sudan is second home to Lamido Sannusi. Boko Haram Forces was assertive with hundreds of brand new Toyota Hilux pick-up vehicles, many mounted with RPG guns and other automatic guns brought into Nigeria through the Republic of Sudan.

Lamido Sannusi was determined and still is, for an Islamic conquest of Southern Nigeria which first step at the time was to remove the “infidel” Southern Christian president, Goodluck Jonathan.

Beyond the sponsorship of Islamic terror, Lamido Sannusi was moving unbudgeted funds to Northern higher educational institutions and investments. Hundreds of Billions of Nigerian naira were given away to northern universities, polytechnics and other private facilities.

In obedience to the northern philosophy that “any way you can move Nigerian money to the north is legal and acceptable”, Lamido Sannusi did move Nigerian naira to the North of Nigeria without question.

The removal of Lamido Sannusi is the move of the northern establishment and not that of Governor Ganduje. But the removal of Lamido Sannusi does not mean the end of Lamido Sannusi in the Nigerian public life.

The Northern conservative establishment will never forget one of their own, no matter how subversive he became. This is not the end of Lamido Sannusi. Everyone should stay tuned. @basilokoh.

==========================================================================================

OPEN LETTER TO NIGERIA MINISTER OF HEALTH RE: CORONAVIRUS

Dear Minister,

We are told it is wise to stay home to fight CORONAVIRUS. Please explain how we can do so in the Nigerian environment.

1) We have no potable (drinking) water from our taps like our counterparts in Europe have - that is if we even have taps. Here we buy water to drink daily. So if we are to stay home how much pure water and bottled water must we buy for self, spouse and children? Do we have the money to buy this water? What of space to store it all?

2) We have to buy gas canisters or kerosene (if we are not fetching firewood). Our counterparts in Europe have gas easily piped right into their homes. So how do we stay at home when our cooking fuel finishes?

3) Those of us who can have some electricity mostly do so (like you must) through generator. How do we manage to store enough petrol or diesel at home? Is it safe? Do we have space for it?

Do we have money and space to store all we need if we are to stay home? This is not Europe! Over there public money is spent on the public to give them infrastructure and services. You KNOW that does not happen here for Nigerians!

The systems needed for Nigerians to stay home to help stop the spread of CORONAVIRUS are not there. This is just a reality and the truth. (Only our elite who have cornered Nigeria's money for themselves have the means to stay home).

Sir, we need intelligent directives that fit into the realities of a Nigeria handicapped by looting of public funds. Copying and telling us to do what Europe can do when you know it is not possible, is irresponsible. This is undeveloped Nigeria, not developed Europe.

If Nigerians die, or those who survive get damaged lungs. The blame from God and man will be on those who wanted to be in leadership positions yet are incapable of it.

BusinessNigeria’s Refusal To Devalue Naira Likely To Fail, Again - Bloomberg by meavox(op): 9:10am On Mar 21, 2020
NIGERIA’S REFUSAL TO DEVALUE NAIRA LIKELY TO FAIL, AGAIN

Four years after Nigeria tried and failed to stop its currency from collapsing, Africa’s biggest crude producer is again reacting to this oil crisis the same way it did in the recent past.

It worked out badly then as oil revenues, which account for 90% of foreign-exchange earnings, failed to rebound in time -- leading to a depletion in the central bank’s fire power to defend the naira. It will likely fail again, if the West Africa nation sticks to the same template.

A surge in supply after OPEC failure to agree on production cuts with Russia has combined with reduced demand as the coronavirus pandemic disrupts economies globally. This means crude prices will remain low far longer than the central bank’s dwindling reserves can support the currency, which has weakened the least among major oil producing countries in 2020.

The naira weakened slightly last week after crude prices crashed, but since has remained largely stable. Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari considers a stable naira as a keystone in his plan to bolster and wean the economy off oil. In a rare public acknowledgment he indicated that the pandemic could trigger a foreign exchange re-alignment after he met with his new economic advisory council, according to a statement emailed on Thursday.

Buhari agreed with the council, led by orthodox economist, Doyin Salami, that “tough economic decisions” may be needed to face the crisis,the presidency said . But the central bank, which has kept the currency in a quasi-peg to the dollar since mid-2017, has said it has no plans for a devaluation and threatened to investigate any local currency dealers suggesting otherwise.
“The administration will fight tooth and nail to avoid a devaluation in the short-term,” said Malte Liewerscheidt, vice president at Teneo Intelligence in London.

The reason -- Nigeria’s import dependent economy has seen inflation accelerate to a 22-month high in February and could rise even faster if the currency weakens. Despite being oil rich, the West African nation imports almost 100% of its gasoline due to mismanagement of its domestic refineries. The fuel is then sold at subsidized prices to Nigerians. A weaker naira would raise the cost of those subsidies, which already consumes a chunk of government revenues at almost $2 billion a year.

The central bank has blamed speculators for any weakness in the currency and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said its agents are raiding hotels and bureau de change outlets to arrest offenders hoarding foreign currency, a tactic used after crude prices crashed in 2014.

The regulator “is poised to apply the toolbox developed during the 2014-16 oil price crisis,” said Liewerscheidt. “Providing high yields and preferential foreign-exchange access to portfolio investors while curbing demand by other market players through measures such as import bans and rationing.”
The local currency traded at 368 per dollar as at 4.30 p.m local time on Wednesday, about 1.9% weaker since the oil price crash. Prices for 12-month forward contracts have risen to 479 per dollar, suggesting investors see the naira falling 25% in that period.

The majority of investors and analysts surveyed by Bloomberg believe the naira will eventually be devalued by as much as 15% in the third quarter.
Reverting to past measures, Central bank Governor Godwin Emefiele plans to tighten capital controls by banning forex for hand sanitizers needed to curb the spread of the coronavirus, adding it to dozens of items already barred from accessing foreign exchange.

“Active management of foreign-exchange allocation could create scarcity and delays in allocation which will inevitably push importers to seek dollars at the unofficial segment,” Lagos-based Nova Merchant Bank said in a note to clients on Tuesday.

However, foreign-currency reserves have decreased by 20% in the past two years to the lowest since November 2017, giving little room for the nation to support the naira.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said last week it would take an exchange rate of 600 naira per dollar for Nigeria to generate a healthy current-account surplus at today’s oil prices.

A sustained period of low crude prices will weaken dollar liquidity and elevate banks asset risks, Moody’s Investors Service said.
Average yields on naira government bonds have surged 709 basis points to 12.6% since January, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, signaling outflows resulting from falling risk appetite of investors.
