CrimeItaly: 6 Nigerian Migrants Convicted In Gang Rape Case by meavox(op): 8:56am On Dec 24, 2019
Nigerian Mafia. Na wa ooo....

Those who flee Africa for better lives abroad, instead of doing what will benefit the host countries (even if they generally lied to in order to stay there), start committing crimes! Now the host countries will be of course angry and will not want Black people in their countries. CAN WE KEEP ON SAYING IT IS RACISM? WHEN WE DO NOT BEHAVE LIKE DECENT HUMAN BEINGS? Nigerian Mafia!

Italy: 6 Nigerian migrants convicted in gang rape case
By ARTHUR LYONS 21 December 2019
VOICE OF EUROPE news


Six Nigerian migrants have been convicted of gang raping a 25-year-old woman at the CARA asylum center in the southern Italian city of Bari in 2017.

Olatunde Opaleye, 38 Uche Oliver, 22, Henry Sule, 26, Semiu Oguntade, 22, Emmanuel Ohenhen, 23, and Otaniyen Sunday, 35, were all handed prison terms ranging from five to nine years by an Italian court earlier this month, ANSA news reports.

Bari police officers who conducted investigations alongside prosecutors say the 25-year-old victim was raped and trafficked while she was still in Libya and then again once she made it to Italy, where the perpetrators threated to kill her if she didn’t follow their commands.

Some of the defendants in the case are said to be among the 32 suspects who are believed by investigators to be part of a Nigerian mafia clan that operated out of the CARA asylum center in Bari. The group is said to have trafficked in illegal prostitution.

A source close to the investigation said that the 25-year-old rape victim told investigators that the group had created a climate of “terror” at the asylum facility to maintain their dominance.

The longest prison sentence was handed to one of the alleged leaders of the gang, 38-year-old Olatunde Opaleye, also known as “Egbon”. After being found guilty of violence and aggravated gang rape, the judge sentenced Opaleye to 9 years in prison.

The rest of the defendants were sentenced to five years in prison. The judge also ordered defendants to pay restitution to the victim. The victim now lives in a protected facility.

PoliticsEndless Borrowing Will Lead To Endless Sorrowing By Atiku Abubakar by meavox(op): 6:37am On Dec 24, 2019
Opinion: Endless Borrowing Will Lead to Endless Sorrowing by Atiku Abubakar

John Quincy Adams once said “there are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.” He may have very well been referring to Nigeria of the last three years.

Barely two weeks ago, I warned during my Founder’s Day lecture at the American University of Nigeria, Yola, that Nigeria had taken almost as much foreign debt in the last three years, as she had taken in the thirty years before 2015 combined. Now that is frightening. And very true.
Frightening, not just because of the amount, but because after such unprecedented borrowing, we have emerged as the world headquarters for extreme poverty and the global capital for out of school children. It begs the question: what were the funds used for?
I have said it time and again. The business of government is too serious to be left in the hands of politicians. We must all ask questions because if they throw away the future, it is not going to be their future they are throwing away, it will be all our futures.

The fact that Nigeria currently budgets more money for debt servicing (₦2.7 trillion), than we do on capital expenditure (₦2.4 trillion) is already an indicator that we have borrowed more money than we can afford to borrow. And the thing is that debt servicing is not debt repayment. Debt servicing just means that we are paying the barest minimum allowable by our creditors.
And while spending 50% of our current revenue on debt servicing, this administration wants to take further loans of $29.6 billion! To say that this is irresponsible is itself an understatement.

As a businessman, one of the very first things I learnt is that you do not take loans except you are expanding your business. Even as an individual, when your income cannot fund your lifestyle, you are challenged to grow your income, not your borrowings.
Even if this administration borrows $1 trillion, it will never be enough because their challenge is one of capacity. They are not using the funds they already have wisely. They do not need more debt. They need more intellectual capacity.

The money the Muhammadu Buhari administration wants to borrow to fund its Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) could be acquired without sinking the nation into further debt. All it requires is visionary leadership and business acumen.

In my economic blueprint, I said that rather than turn in regular losses (which it has consistently been doing), the best thing to do with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation is to reform it. Of course, the administration’s paid propagandists went into overdrive, accusing me of planning to sell the NNPC to my friends. But just last week, Saudi Arabia’s ARAMCO, the most profitable company in the world, took that route and almost broke the global stock market with the most successful initial IPOs in world history, bar none. Ironically, Saudi Aramco raised $29.4 billion via this IPO. Just the amount this administration wants to borrow.

That could have been Nigeria’s story, but for our failure of leadership. By reforming the NNPC, Nigeria can raise the $29.6 billion the Buhari regime wants to borrow, and we will raise the money without going into debt.

If we had taken that route, not only would we have attracted Foreign Direct Investment into Nigeria, but even better than investment, we would have attracted confidence in our economy, because it would have shown that we have a thinking leadership.
Take the example of the Nigeria Liquified Natural Gas company. This is a joint venture between the Nigeria government and the private sector. Yet, while the NLNG declares very handsome profits, in billions of dollars every year, the NNPC declares loses! This is proof that the NLNG model works, and the NNPC model does not.

Moody’s, the world’s preeminent rating agency, has just downgraded Nigeria. Ghana, a nation with only 15% of our population, now attracts more Foreign Direct Investment than Nigeria, and Rwanda, a country with less than 15% of our mineral endowment, has an economy that is growing at twice the rate of our economy. The problem is not revenue. The challenge is not Nigerians. The issue is leadership.

While there is scant information in the Medium Term Expenditure Framework for what the loan would be used for, I could not help but read a communication from the Presidency to the effect that one of such projects would be the digitalisation of the Nigerian Television Authority and other similar projects.

Spending revenue on such projects would be foolish, but spending loans in such a manner is nothing short of foolhardy. The Nigerian government does not have a good record of running businesses, and a public television network is unlikely to yield the type of income that would justify taking out loans to digitalise it. Besides, is that a priority, when we have 12 million children out of school? Like I said, capacity, not revenue, is the problem.
And in proof of this, I offer the example of how this administration took delivery of $322 million Abacha loot in 2018 and claimed it shared it out to poor Nigerians, only to obtain a $328 million loan from China, allegedly for ICT development the very next month. How do you share out $322 million and then borrow $328 million? Who does that? At the risk of repeating myself, it is clear that no amount of money, whether from revenue or borrowings, will be enough for an administration that lacks capacity.

So, what must Nigeria do now? Rather than profligate borrowing, what Nigeria needs to do is restore investor confidence in our economy. Key to that is respecting the independence of key institutions, such as the Judiciary and the Central Bank of Nigeria. Both of these institutions are now the captives of Buhari and his cabal, and though they are loathe to admit it, they cannot take one step without watching their backs.

Why are foreign investors leaving Nigeria for Ghana? The answer is that Ghana, unlike Nigeria, has learnt how to divorce key institutions from politics. The Ghanaian central bank enjoys a degree of independence that our own CBN can only dream of under the prevailing atmosphere. You will not hear Ghana’s leaders give flippant interviews overseas about their plans for the cedi, as Buhari has done in Europe about the Naira. It rang alarm bells because it is not the job of the executive to interfere in the role of the reserve bank.

Neither will you find Ghana’s leaders blatantly intimidating the judiciary by obviously setting up judges and invading courtrooms. Why would any investor come to Nigeria under such prevailing circumstances? Their thought would be that if they had industrial disputes, our courts, under this administration, could not be counted on to deliver impartial justice.

I was part of a team that paid off Nigeria’s entire foreign debt. I, therefore, cannot sit and watch an administration without vision squander our children’s future by taking and wasting loans that they do not even have the capacity to utilise properly.

Thank God for leaked memos that have exposed the lies this regime has told Nigerians about unprecedented revenues in the Federal Inland Revenue Service and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. Now, we know that Nigeria is not poor because she is not making enough money. The truth is that Nigeria is poor because she is not making the right leadership decisions.

Thomas Jefferson said, “to preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.” Dear citizens of our beloved nation, this is a call to heed. President Olusegun Obasanjo and I paid off this nation’s debt, and I will not stand idly by and watch while Nigeria is plunged into second slavery by those who only know how to reap where they have not sown.

Our youth must have something better to inherit from us than unsustainable debt fuelled by insatiable greed. That is why I call on the Senate of the National Assembly to show loyalty to Nigeria and reconsider its decision with regards to approving Buhari’s $29.6 billion loan request.

We need to pay heed to Benjamin Franklin’s advise that “he that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing”. I call on Nigeria’s youth to identify the Senator representing their senatorial zones and write to them, urging them to vote against this request. Do this, because it is you and your children that will pay back these loans that would be squandered by this ravenous cabal who do not have the word enough in their vocabulary.

Atiku Abubakar is a former Vice President of Nigeria.

As far as this Dictator is concerned Nigeria is the "Dauran Kingdom of Buharia" until the indigenous and thus TRUE Nigerians rise up and stop him. And they can return to Futa Jalon their ancestral home.
PoliticsRe: Burning The Law by meavox(op): 5:08pm On Dec 12, 2019
It's not vengeance but JUSTICE.

If there's a PEACEFUL protest and security personnel kill an unarmed protester, then that security person is a COLD BLOODED MURDERER and justice demands he face his crime. Eye for eye as Israel does is JUSTICE pure and simple.

We can't keep on allowing security people to kill us at will and not react back. After all, David, described as a "man after God's own heart" was a warrior. When the wife and children of his men got kidnapped he didn't just cry. After crying he and his men went after the kidnappers and rescued their family members. JUSTICE!

BURNING THE LAW

Basil Okoh

The video clip of the burning family house of Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, counsel to IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu made the rounds on social media yesterday.

It provoked outrage and deep anger in everyone who saw the disgraceful video. The clip reminded me, once again, of the barbarity of those ruling over us and how they use their minions to commit the most atrocious crimes and perpetuate hatred across the land.

The Nigerian society has acquiesced to an outlaw government and submitted to the rule of the gun. The ruling philosophy now is that might is right, the man with the gun is right all the time. But it should never be so.

The Buhari Government is obsessed with the fear of IPOB and so maintains a scorched earth policy to push them down. IPOB has refused to be pushed down. Instead, IPOB has waxed stronger and gone international, gradually winning diplomatic recognition and approval in places and organizations that everyone thought was impossible.

The other day, we read in the news that the U.S. Census Board will register Igbo in the USA as native Biafrans and not Nigerians, in the 2020 national census. Though not yet verified, if that happens, Nnamdi Kanu will have won in one fell swoop, the victory that five divisions of Nigeria army cannot win in a decade of warfare.

It is the dwarf who looks for trouble and then leaves the resulting fight for his bigger siblings. The Fulani have been looking for trouble everywhere in Nigeria since the tenure of Muhammadu Buhari, believing that it can use soldiers from other ethnic groups in Nigeria to wage it’s war and die against the Igbo as happened in the previous Civil War.

We know that the Hausa/Fulani have no men or resources to fight or sustain a war. No, they don’t. They will be a dwarf in any possible warfare against the Igbo without the help of other ethnicities.

How many cows will the Fulani sell to buy a good rifle and how many truck loads of tomatoes or onions to buy a war tank? And as my friends from Egon, Nassarawa State asserted, how long will it take to train a Fulani soldier to shoot straight?

The Fulani were disgraced and chased out from the capital Bangui by street boys of the Southern tribes of The Central Africa Republic after just three days of fighting.

The world knows that Fulani are building a war chest. But it is in the time of real warfare that all the dollars purloined from the Nigerian State and hidden in the deep recesses of Arabian Banks will be brought for use and then disappear in three months of singing bullets and banging hardware.

The Hausa/Fulani are goading the Igbo to start another war in Igboland but the Igbo would be foolish to swallow that bait and allow their land and investments to be destroyed again.

The future war - God forbid that matters will result to blows - will be diffused and without a front, the truly non-classic and asymmetric warfare. While you are killing and destroying property in another man’s land, the enemy is spread in your own land destroying investments and installations. A truly mutually assured destruction (MAD).

In that case, no one will be so gun-ho in another man’s land, killing and burning other people’s property at will.

As it is today, the Nigerian Armed Forces are the only glue holding Nigeria together as one country. If that critical institution of state is unglued by any action of state actors against a particular group, Nigeria will come unstuck and fall in many directions that no one can predict. And when Humpty Dumpty falls and scatters downhill, no one can put it together again.

IPOB has professed and committed to non-violence to achieve its aim but there is no way it can achieve its purpose without some form of armed resistance. Armed resistance does not have to be within the Igbo territory.

It can come by way of the Jewish Haganah forces in Palestine before 1948, in the form of retaliatory and disorienting strikes deep within the Arab aggressors territory, destroying investments and installations. And no one will take responsibility for such strikes.

For too long, men armed by the Nigerian State have gotten away with the killing of Nigerian Citizens and destruction of their property. Usually, after an initial uproar and public anger, the people forget.

During the last election, we watched, seething in anger, as a highly resourceful and educated Nigerian was buried in Rivers State, killed by men in uniform he did no wrong, but for working for a candidate in an open election. The people knew the killer and named him but the Government did nothing for justice.

The Nigerian society, after the unending failure of state to protect its citizens, needs an alternative route to justice and peace. Vengeance! Nigerians must embrace the ethos of avenging injustice perpetrated by men with the gun who kill others and destroy property illegally and at will.

[b]Christianity should no longer be a reason and excuse for docility. Judaism has as a cardinal principle, to exact the penalty of an eye for an eye. [/b]In fact, for the Jews of today, it is one Israeli eye for a hundred Arab eyes. No question asked. It is when you hit back that you earn respect. The enemy will have to decide for himself whether he can take the blows you give in exchange for his own blows.

If the uniformed killers of the man in Rivers know that sooner or later, the family of the man they killed will do something to avenge the death of their loved one either on themselves or their family, they will be more circumspect in pulling the trigger on an innocent, undefended person.

So let the culture of vengeance spread, a society cannot be losing its members without taking action in its own defence. That is cowardice. The Chinese say that vengeance is the true deterrent to wickedness. Almost the entire Chinese folklore and modern films are dominated by tales of vengeance, enacted long after the act of wickedness. The African forgives too easily and that is why petty wickedness persists.

Officers and commanders who know that they can lose their own lives and property or the lives and property of family members will think hard before giving orders to their men to take the lives of others. That will be the new way to build a just society as the old ways have been taken over and ruled by outlaws.

No one should be permitted to commit crimes under the cover of the state. Revenge! @basilokoh.

Christianity EtcPentecostals And Enquiry Into Witchcraft by meavox(op): 4:33pm On Dec 12, 2019

PENTECOSTALS AND ENQUIRY INTO WITCHCRAFT


Pentecostals spend half their time in church and prayers casting, binding, overcoming, stepping on, stamping and doing so many other things to witches and wizards.

Their pastors, prophets, deacons, shamans, seers, G.O's and so many other titled members thrive materially on the unseen encounters with these dealers in the occult. Their prayers and so many other encounters and actions cannot be complete without the mention of witches.

The fear factor opens the wallets of the unwary. And so these titled men of Pentecostalism thrive on peddling fear to their believers. The witch becomes a feared commodity to be sold by pastors to believers for gain.

If you remove witchcraft, including the powers and principalities, Pentecostalism will be emptied of the fear factor which props up their belief.

Pentecostalism needs witchcraft as the totem pole which directs the attention and fear of its believers in order to get at their wallets. Without the fear of witches, pastors will have little fear to sell and make money.

As William Golding greatly demonstrated in his seminal novel, the beast is in us. The beast is man, the fear is in man himself.

My people say that it is in the presence of the witch that a king is born and grows to take his crown. The witch cannot be a hindrance to the man who is determined to succeed. What's your business with the witch who dicides to be flying around instead of sleeping on his bed?

So when the academics of the University of Nigeria Nsukka, proposed a public academic enquiry into witchcraft, Pentecostalism rose up in revolt. You see, the academics are threatening the business of the pastor's and their income from the sale of fear of witchcraft. CAN went incendiary. Catholic Church is no longer part of CAN.

If the myth of the prevalence and power of witchcraft and the occult in the society is shown for what it is as just myth, Pentecostal beliefs will be shattered. How do they justify their preachings of a dangerous and threatened world if people no longer believe in witchcraft?

Witches are needed as examples of an enveloping and unkillable threat to the just man and to Christendom. Can you imagine how many times the devil himself is bound and destroyed every day in Nigeria?

The academics at Nsukka should take on other areas of academic engagement and leave witchcraft to the pentecostals to cast and bind. Imagine how Pentecostal prayers will sound without casting and binding.

Catholicism overcame witchcraft since the 99 theses of Martin Luther in the 16th century and the counter movement of the Society of Jesus otherwise called "The Jesuits".

Catholicism no longer sells indulgences or burn heretics and witches at the public stakes. They have moved on in forging deeper meanings with God beyond the reach of witches.

Pentecostals do not need witches and wizards to prove their faith. Their pastors and shamans only need witches to put fear in their believers in order to make money off them. @basilokoh.

PoliticsConstitution Should Be Amended To Accommodate Peculiarities Of Shari’a – Cjn by meavox(op): 11:23am On Dec 12, 2019
CONSTITUTION SHOULD BE AMENDED TO ACCOMMODATE PECULIARITIES OF SHARI’A – CJN
By Isa Sa’idu, Zaria | Published Date Dec 12, 2019
Daily Trust newspaper


The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, yesterday advocated for the amendment of Nigeria’s constitution to accommodate some of the concerns of Muslims and the Shari’a law. Muhammad made this known while declaring the 20th Annual Judges Conference open at the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria Faculty of Law’s Moot Court. Commenting on the theme of the two-day conference, ‘Documentation of Contracts in Islamic Law: Procedure, Sample Precedents and Practice’, organised by the Centre for Islamic Legal Studies (CILS) of the ABU in collaboration with National Judicial Institute (NJI), Abuja, Justice Muhammad also urged academicians to champion the cause of redesigning the methods of teaching Shari’a law.


Represented by Justice Muhammad Danjuma, Grand Khadi of Niger State, the CJN said the implementation of his suggestions would be more feasible if universities give the Shari’a law its own faculty.


He said: “As we all know, there are sections of the constitution that allow the implementation of Shari’a personal law and apart from that, we cannot do more. However, we have the number to emend the constitution to suit our own position as Muslims.” Muhammad said increase of judges to be learned in Shari’a would allow them to attend to issues that have to do with Islamic law. In the same vein, the CJN said in view of the importance of the Shari’a legal system to the legal profession, Shari’a law ought to be taught in Arabic language in Nigerian universities.


He added: “The Shari’a law should be taught in Arabic not English. There is no university in Nigeria that runs Shari’a in Arabic; they all teach Shari’a in English. So, academicians let’s also look into this issue.” The Vice-Chancellor of ABU, Professor Ibrahim Garba, said academic conferences are avenues of creating knowledge for the benefit of humanity, hence the university’s decision to support the judges’ conference.

Bro you know this write up doesn't make sense, Santa is just for fun, which is used during Xmas to make children happy and Xmas/Christmas is the day Christians celebrate the birth of Christ. All or at least almost all have their yearly festival/celebration like me mine has begun already so this your kwanza has no place in Africa maybe in your village you guys can do that.
What you are asking for is just like asking mooslems to stop the celebration of ramadan so they don't pursue after the arabs.
The writer of the Kwanzaa information made it VERY CLEAR that Kwanzaa is not religious.
If doing things that will help Black people UNITE is wrong to you, I am sad for you.
You can follow follow your oyibo if that is the way for you to feel good... Then later follow Chinese when they increase their strength and influence in Africa.
WHY ARE YOU BRINGING RELIGION INTO WHAT IS A SOCIAL FESTIVAL? Especially as the writer has already very clearly and simply stated it is NOT religious? No use then to suggest to you to GOOGLE Kwanzaa because whatever Oyibo does is what you want to ape.

Here are some Black people wanting the Black man to improve by doing for ourselves and informing us about some things we can get involved in. Yet you want us to like apes, continue aping oyibo? Why now?
PoliticsInstead Of Santa, Here’s Kwanzaa by meavox(op): 2:04pm On Dec 11, 2019
We Black people do need to stop pursuing White people, Chinese people, Indian people and Lebanese people. Instead let us HAVE OUR OWN!

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


INSTEAD OF SANTA, HERE’S KWANZAA

Sometimes it looks like Black people are PURSUING White people, wanting to be involved in every thing that White people have. White people have silky hair – so Black women (and girls) must stick on un-African hair types onto their heads. White people give their children European names – So Black parents must also give their children European names. White people have invented all sorts of gadgets – so Black people must buy from them rather than produce those gadgets for themselves. White people use eggs to celebrate their Spring festival which falls around the same time as Easter – so Black people must also have Easter eggs. So also Santa. White people celebrate a jolly rotund white-bearded elfin creature called Santa Claus who comes out with their Christmas festival. Since White people have Santa – then so too must Black folk. It’s like running after White people to see what they have or are doing – so we Black people can mimic them.

Let’s consider this: Are Black people benefitting from this “pursuit” of White people, this following them wherever they go? Let us think about the non-African hair weave. Is it making us love our natural God-given appearance? What of the Easter egg. Any benefits? And Santa? Is Santa helping the Black community in any way?

Many Black people do not know that we do have our own end of year festival. A festival that is NOT religious so all Black people of every belief system can take part. A festival that is beneficial to Black people in several ways because 1) It gets us to focus on our community worldwide; 2) It gets us to appreciate our common ancestry as Black people; 3) It gets us to keep our money circulating within the Black community; 4) It is ours: created for us, by us, and its Principles are acceptable to the diversity found within the global Black world.

This festival is KWANZAA!
Kwanzaa is an end of year festival from 26th December to 1st January. It is a fun time, yet it is educational fun! Over its seven days we celebrate seven Principles (in Swahili).
The seven core principles (Nguzo Saba ) of Kwanzaa are:

Day 1. Umoja: Unity
To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.

Day 2. Kujichagulia: Self-Determination:
To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves.

Day 3. Ujima: Collective Work and Responsibility
To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers' and sisters' problems our problems and solve them together.

Day 4. Ujamaa: Cooperative Economics
To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses and to profit from them together.

Day 5. Nia: Purpose
To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.

Day 6. Kuumba: Creativity
To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.

Day 7. Imani: Faith
To believe with all our heart in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders, and the righteousness and victory of our struggle. Presents are given out to children and guests.


There are so many ways to celebrate Kwanzaa. We cook meals from different African communities (you can look up recipes on the internet). We read up on then discuss the culture of an African community. We wear clothing of a different ethnic group from our own. There is a lot on the internet about Kwanzaa, just Google it. Kwanzaa is a time to have directional FUN and enlightening ENTERTAINMENT.


Kwanzaa is for us! We have come of age to stand on our own, and enjoy our own festivals and create our own unique way of life.


Instead of Santa, appreciate Kwanzaa!
Instead of Santa, commend Kwanzaa!
Instead of Santa, enjoy Kwanzaa!

PoliticsNigerian Youth Beware! - They Are Working On Your Minds by meavox(op): 12:20pm On Dec 10, 2019
Copied from a Whatsapp post:

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

Our mis-leaders are playing mind games on Nigerian youth and people on a daily basis.

Slavery they say, often starts in the mind of the enslaved. That is why those who enslave others inject words into their victims' minds to weaken their resolve to free themselves from the injustices they are put through.

Recently the Nigerian president's spokesperson Femi Adesina said that millions of Nigerians are not bothered about Sowore's re-arrest because comments about it on social media are from less than 100,000 of our large population.

1) Young Nigerian, is Adesina's figure of 100,000 correct? How was it measured?

2) Even if the figure of 100,000 is correct is that because Nigerians don't care about Sowore's re-arrest? Or is it because of lack of money to even access social media, lack of electricity to charge up our smart devices, and lack of proper internet network? Plus even lack of education to know how to use social media, and even to read and write?

3) For decades now our mis-leaders want us to have an uncaring attitude towards our fellow citizens because that helps them remain in power. Thus too many of us now think it's cool to have the orientation of "wetin concern me?".

4) Worst still is that our mis-leaders who are scared of the huge population of Nigerian youth are working in your minds and manipulating you to believe that sacrificing and even risking your life to create a good Nigeria is just you wasting your life for nothing. That is why they want you to believe that nobody cares about Sowore. Our looting mis-leaders are mocking Sowore whose Revolution Now has great potential to Restructure Nigeria and stop corruption, by putting fear in youths to prevent them bravely arising against bad governance.

Society is being made and kept rotten by our mis-leaders working on our minds. You see, once you are unconcerned about others and about the wrongs in society, you become a slave of your mis-leaders, because that is exactly the attitude they want you to have for it makes you weak, and useless to humanity. For, if you are UNCONCERNED you will not care about issues of human rights. If you are UNCONCERNED you will not care about issues of civil rights. If you are UNCONCERNED you will not care to ACT over issues of bad governance.

If you are UNCONCERNED you will never have the courage or the interest to go out in non-violent protests to force the mis-leaders to reform and begin to work for the good of Nigerians instead of their constant looting of public wealth.

Nigerians and especially Nigerian youth, our mis-leaders are working on your minds to turn you into their passive slave and thus never rise up, and unite to remove corruption and looting by these mis-leaders. They want each Nigerian to have an attitude of UNCONCERN, so that they can loot in peace, and live their big man lifestyle in peace using looted money.

Nigerian youth, you all want to flee Nigeria and go to the White man's country. Why? Because the White man CARES about the wrongs in his society, the White man CARES about the human rights of others, the White man CARES about his society so he regularly goes out on protests! And we can see the vast differences between the society the White man has created for himself and his children, compared to the society that Nigerians have created with the diabolic "wetin concern me?" orientation.

I urge Nigerians, especially our youth, because you are the creators of the future... I urge you to reject Femi Adesina's opinion/manipulations that Nigerians don't care about Sowore's re-arrest and instead be a person who is concerned about the human rights of human beings everywhere, including Sowore's.

Unconcern, individual-mindedness and selfishness not only begets savagery, but as long as that is our national orientation then our mis-leaders remain happy for that keeps us slaves of their bad governance.

Please share to every Nigerian especially Nigerian youth.

Reader,

I write this because of a post alerting us to the fact that RUGA is being built on our ancestral lands, against the wishes of true Nigerians. Whether you are happy or unhappy with the current Buhari administration, what is clear is that it is an UNELECTED government given the tactical and highly irregular removal of the previous CJN Walter Onnoghen, the happenings at the post-election tribunal, the use of State power to silence criticisms of government etc.

During his first term Buhari made it clear that his goal is to place Fulani colonies throughout Nigeria, using Fulani cattle to achieve this.

There were nationwide calls to boycott Fulani beef so as to have no reason for the South and Middle Belt to accept Fulani cattle colonies.

There were nationwide calls that indigenous people should instead themselves ranch their own native cattle, the Muturu breed, aka West African Short-horn in their ancestral lands of South and Middle Belt. (Do Google for pictures and more information on our Muturu cattle breed).

Establishing RUGA under any name will change the demographics, indigenous culture, and local religion of the South and Middle Belt and this will have immediate plus also long-lasting (devastating) consequences.

The indigenous people of the Americas, that is the Native Americans allowed Europeans to overwhelm their lands, bringing in a different culture and a different religion. The consequences are that today USA-Canada is an extension of Europe, and the indigenous Native Americans have been thoroughly dispossessed and forgotten.

Similarly, the English settled in the northern part of Ireland and till today there are ethnic and religious tensions in Northern Ireland which should rightly belong to Ireland and not the UK as is the case.

So if indigenous Nigerians allow these Fulani colonies (with their cattle) to invade our ancestral lands, we are bringing multi-dimensional troubles upon ourselves and our future.

Let's be clear, there is no such thing as HISTORIC cattle routes or grazing areas for Fulani as they only came to our territory in 1804. So indigenous Nigerians should refer to the condition of our lands before that date! Historically there were no Fulani here until relatively recently. They have their own ancestral lands in Futa Jalon where their historic grazing routes can be found.

The indigenous people of Nigeria have nowhere else to call home apart from our ancestral lands here. Fulani have Futa Jalon. We cannot allow Buhari's regime to dispossess us. The WORST hit and devasted area of Nigeria is the Niger Deltan oil producing areas yet money (THEIR MONEY) is not being spent to correct the damage done to them and to their environment. Rather non-indigenous Fulani are being handed our ancestral lands and are being given free money to set up cattle businesses.

SOLUTION: The indigenous people of Nigeria MUST NOT allow this land grabbing, Fulanization, and alteration in religious pattern of our country. This territory called Nigeria is our ancestral home. Fulani can live in peace and justice here with us according to our traditions and desires for ourselves. But if they don't want that, but want to steal our land and resources from under us, we must resist. They are free to return to their ancestral home of Futa Jalon.

NO RUGA UNDER ANY NAME IN NIGERIA!

Please forward to all the indigenous people of South and Middle Belt. And STOP EATING FULANI BEEF!

Any farming business should be a private business. So it is WRONG to use State money and State power to tribalistically benefit the Fulani people AT THE EXPENSE of INDIGENOUS PEOPLE whose lands are being commandeered and handed over just like that to Fulani. It is WRONG! No nation on earth will accept this type of injustice. Farmers of all types should buy or lease their land. Just like other business people do: like private school owners do, mechanic workshop do, private hospital do, barber and hairdresser do, supermarket owners do.

FG BEGINS REMODELLING OF GRAZING RESERVES INTO RANCHES IN 7 STATES


RUGA is arriving! RUGA is on our doorstep.

Buhari's Fulanization is here with help from indigenous Nigerians who carry on eating Fulani beef. So Buhari is giving us Fulani beef and Fulani RUGA. This is RUGA under another name but the result is for Fulani to properly own Nigeria by seizing territories from indigenous peoples.

The Middle Belt is the first part to be conquered: Adamawa, Taraba, Plateau, Nasarawa, Benue, Kaduna, and Zamfara. Then RUGA will move to conquer the South.

As indigenous peoples watch our conquest and Islamization, I hope the yummy taste of Fulani beef that we WON'T stop eating is worth this demographic and religious change that we are handing down to our children.

Share this message to all Middle Belters and Southerners and explain to your children why you continue to eat Fulani beef. They need to know!

FG BEGINS REMODELLING OF GRAZING RESERVES INTO RANCHES IN 7 STATES


The Federal Government has begun remodelling of grazing reserves into ranches in seven states as part of efforts to transform and modernise the country’s livestock industry.

The Executive Secretary, National Commission for Nomadic Education (NCNE) Prof Bashir Usman, made this known on Tuesday in Zaria at the opening of a three-day capacity building workshop on the remodelling of grazing reserves into ranches.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the training was organised by NCNE for 120 nomadic education extension agents and other officers of the commission.

Usman, who was represented by the Director, Social Mobilisation and Women Development in the commission, Alhaji Mohammed El-Nafaty, listed the selected states like Adamawa, Taraba, Plateau, Nasarawa, Benue, Kaduna, and Zamfara.

He said that the existing grazing reserves had already been carved out, demarcated and gazetted. He added that 141 out of the 416 grazing reserves, spread across the six geo-political zones of the country with a total of 3.4 million hectares of land have been gazetted.

He stressed that the idea behind developing the grazing reserves into ranches was to provide state -of-the-art grazing resources for livestock herders in the country. This, according to him, will curtail the persistent farmer-herder conflicts that are threatening peace and security in the country. He noted that transformation and modernisation of Nigeria’s livestock industry would cause a paradigm shift from a predominantly traditional, informal and uncoordinated industry, to a more formal and organised one. “This can be achieved through the transformation of grazing reserves into ranches otherwise known as Intensive Livestock Production Systems. “This entails training and re-training of front line staff and other key stakeholders, effective community mobilisation and sensitisation through extension services. “It also involves the identification, mapping and clustering of pastoralist and their communities in the existing grazing reserves as evidence-based data preparatory for the full implementation of ranching concept in the country. “I equally entail the provision of the requisite resources and infrastructure to serve as a window of opportunities for the livestock producers to have access to improved production facilities and social amenities. “Other provisions include schools, security, markets, clinics, livestock service centers, access roads, milk and meat processing centers along the value chains as well as other critical infrastructure,”

Usman said. The NCNE boss disclosed that the commission had established 17 Model Nomadic Education Centers in the gazetted grazing reserves and would work closely with the Coordinating Office of the National Livestock Transformation Plan.

Earlier, Dr. Abdu Ardo, Director, Department of Extension Education and Skills Development, NCNE, said that the training was organised to build the capacity of participants to mobilise and sensitise pastoralists on the remodeling process. Declaring the workshop open, Mr. Andrew Kwasari, Special Assistant to President Mohammadu Buhari on Agriculture, said that the measure would end the protracted Famers-herders clashes over scarce land and water. Kwasari, who is also the Coordinator, National Livestock Transformation Plan, said that the extension agents would demonstrate to farmers and pastoralists how to promote livestock production in the country. “I hope in the next six months, we will begin to have success stories that would help the full implementation of the livestock transformation plan,” he said.
EducationModern Afrocentric Words by meavox(op): 2:20pm On Dec 07, 2019
This is taken from a Facebook post. We Black people need to take charge of our present and future, and having the right mindset of caring about our Race is needful. These new words below help us to focus on our Race and get us to see life through our common history as a Race. I have already started using these words in my conversations, and we need them. Please copy and forward on to your Whatsapp and other social media platforms as all Black people everywhere should know and use these words. Let's get involved!
=================================================================================


MODERN AFROCENTRIC WORDS

For our information, learning and use. Here are some new, newish and not so new Afrocentric words for global use, by all communities not just people of African heritage. (Students of many disciplines will appreciate this material; those involved in, or taking part in Diversity training and policies should find it useful):
 
 
AFROCENTRIC = Viewing and interpreting issues eg history, current affairs, art, fashion, music etc through African eyes, and the experiences of African heritage people.
 
 
ANTINUBIANISM = Racism specifically against Africans and African heritage people.
 
 
AFRITRADE = trade in products and services specifically between Africa's nationalities and people of African heritage throughout the world: Canada, USA, Central America, the Caribbean, South America and Europe, plus Asia and the Middle East.
 
 
KWANZAA = a non-religious, fun festival observed yearly by African heritage people worldwide from 26th December to 1st January, as a celebration of culture, traditional values, and unifying histories. (Do Google search for more information on Kwanzaa)
 
 
COMMUNITALISM = an Afrocentric development model built on the integration of the indigenous (from Africa) and the exogenous (outside Africa), nature, culture, the community. It is an African alternative to capitalist or communist ideologies, and was devised by Fr. Anselm Adodo who defined it as “an approach to sustainable and integral development in Africa, set within a particular African society, that builds up from nature and community, embracing culture, politics, economics, spirituality and enterprise”. (Do Google search for more information on Communitalism and Pax Africana)
 
 
UBUNTU = A Zulu word, not easy to define but that is essentially a quality that incorporates human virtues, involving compassion and acknowledging the humanity of others: "I exist because you exist".
 
 
SANKOFA = Sankofa is a Ghana Twi word meaning "Go back and get it" that is portrayed by the Asante Adinkra symbol of a bird carrying an egg in its mouth with its head turned backwards while its feet face forward; or by a stylized heart shape. Sankofa represents the need to reflect on the past in order to build a successful future.

PoliticsNigeria's Top Looters (aka Public Enemies) & People Power by meavox(op): 1:18pm On Dec 07, 2019
This message is copied from a Whatsapp post. It's also on the author's Facebook page whom I now follow.

I find the list of things we can do to bring about change quite useful eg using concerts - Fela did. And we can do so again to drum up support to change this country. Please copy it and forward on to your own networks because knowledge is powerful.
=================================================================


NIGERIA'S TOP LOOTERS (aka PUBLIC ENEMIES) & PEOPLE POWER


 
Recently a Whatsapp post described the criminal activities of Nigeria's top looters, rightly called "PUBLIC ENEMIES", who are (I quote):
 
· Nigeria's decision makers at the highest levels (civil servants and politicians)

· Topmost Nigerian bureaucrats (civil servants and consultants)
 
· Bankers
 
· With the collaboration of foreigners
 
The usefulness of the post is that not only did it identify the classes of criminal looters but it also described the manner that these delinquent kleptocratic deviants with their anti-Nigeria and antinubianist* orientation and lifestyles misgovern Nigeria to bring on backwardness, poverty, and wretchedness.
 
The post went a little religious, saying that God is against these looters - which He surely must be. However, Nigeria’s looters will happily continue to loot if all that Nigerians will do is "pray". We are not as helpless as we tell ourselves we are, and as looters will let us believe. We have People Power at our disposal. Prayer ought to go together with People Power action!
 
People Power is "soft power" in that it does not involve the use of weapons or violence, but it is still a POWER.
 
People Power involves using our NUMERICAL STRENGTH to bring about change that benefits the people, methods being NON-VIOLENT such as:
--- Rallies
--- Open air concerts (songs with a message)
--- Carnivals (with themed messages)
--- Plays and films with a message (can also be open air)
--- Demonstrations
--- Protests
--- Online and paper petitions
--- Campaigns
--- Social media appeals
--- Keeping political representatives accountable to citizens
--- Supporting and pushing for legislation that is anti-corruption and pro-people such as the notable Bribecode, a proposed anti-corruption Bill (link here http://bribecode.org/)
--- Police and law enforcement agencies should never forget that they are part of the people, work for the people, and should morally support People Power as is done in civilised countries.
--- Armed Forces should act in a moral way to protect the people and the country from those who would destroy the country they have sworn before God to protect: and looters are destroying Nigeria.
 
 
Ultimately we must realise that it is THE RESPONSIBILITY OF NIGERIANS TO FIX NIGERIA. No other, whether from another country or from outer space, or from Heaven, is going to fix Nigeria for us. We have seen events in other nations where people have used or are still using People Power to bring about the outcomes they want: whether it is the Climate Change rallies/protests or mass gatherings to bring about change in governance as in Sudan, Chile, Bolivia, South Korea, etc.
 
 
We can bring about an end to the looting in Nigeria using People Power. We have the numbers! There are 200 million of us! With People Power we can together start the journey towards the promised land for ourselves and definitely for our children.

PoliticsElite Parasites & Their Children Vs Mumu Ordinary Nigerians - Some Bitter Truths by meavox(op): 7:48pm On Dec 03, 2019
From a Whatsapp post:
========================================================================


THE BITTER TRUTH THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR
By Prof. Yusuf Dankofa

*Senator Bola Tinubu, the grand patriarch of APC has his wife in the 7th, 8th and 9th Senate*;
*Senator Abba Bukar Ibrahim’s wife was in the 8th Assembly and she’s also in the 9th, while the Distinguished Senator spent 8 years as Governor of Yobe State;*
*Former Gov. Theodore Orji was in the 8th Senate and also belongs to the 9th, and his son is the newly elected speaker of Abia State House of Assembly.*
The example of family dynasties being entrenched in our political system is real and has the potentials of privileging the entire system to selected families while the hordes of armchair critics continue to insult themselves as mere tools or pawns in the chessboard of this game called POLITICS.


While political leaders are busy repositioning themselves and their families into the authority structure of Nigeria, most Nigerians continue to becloud their political understanding with inanities and as it is today, go to any critical sector of the economy, be it Central Bank, NNPC, LNG, Banks and other Institutions that drives the economy, it is the same children of the parasitic elites that are the engine rooms of these CASH COW institutions.


The children of the parasitic elites are poised to take over the reins of dependency on the economy of the state for their continued benefits, while the children of the poor will continue to be employed as graduate drivers, marketers of bournvita and Milo, by dancing like captured monkeys on our major highways.


It is instructive to understand also that while the children of the elites are busy taking refresher courses in Harvard, Dublin or Glasgow preparing themselves for the eventual take over of the political economy of the state, the children of the poor are packed like sardines to be writing aptitude test for menial jobs in both the private and public sector and not sure of whether the N30k minimum wage will ever be a reality.
When analysing the nature of political thuggery in Nigeria, you can never see the children of the rich. The business of political thuggery draws its manpower from the poorest of the poor and what fuels their sustainability is hard drugs.The political establishment maintain and sustain the children of the poor as touts and thugs, while theirs are being trained in the best universities of the world awaiting employment by the UN or other multilateral agencies of western capital that makes them globally competitive and materially successful.


*That the Nigerian oppressed but poorly educated masses do not understand that they have been programmed to live on crumbs and die as second class citizens in their country is what sensible people cannot understand.*
*That they even idolised people that have conquered them and demobilized their humanity is something that normal people cannot understand.*
*That they even eulogise their slave masters with superlative slogans and worship their traducers is what is shocking.*
*That the poor even fight and kill themselves over people who don’t have the slightest of affection for them is intriguing.*
*That the poor and the oppressed come to Facebook and defend the lack of capacity of their masters and fight dirty amongst themselves is the 9th wonder of the World !!!*

All Africans want to be where White man is in charge, but USA cannot take in all Africans. So in order to get respect it's better Africans fix Africa instead of running away to go enjoy what you did not work for.

Better to fix Nigeria by Restructuring it into Confederation of 4 regions, or split into 4 countries as in the map below.

PoliticsThe Black Man Cannot Live Well Without The White Man by meavox(op): 5:25am On Oct 31, 2019
Before you get angry and puff out your heart, we all know that living under the White man even if he is racist at times, is much better than living under the rule of the Black man with his tribalism, witchcraft against Black people, ritual killing against Black people, high level corruption against the good of Black people.


Nigerian (and African) culture is bad. The good if any in it, is overcome by the bad. We so hate ourselves that we cannot trust or work together for our common good. We Blacks do not see the humanity of a Black person. When any non-Black who clearly sees this speaks it we shout: RACISM! RACIST! But the hate we have for one another, and the way we treat one another is worse than any racism.

When a tribe is in power it uses that power to destroy other tribes, and to be unjust to other tribes.

African culture is BAD. It knows nothing about human rights. We need White people to show us how to live. We need White people to show us how to think. We need White people to show us technology. We need White people to show us medicine and hygiene. We need White people to show us what good means. The highest desire and accomplishment of a Black person is to live where the White man rules, is this not true?

The Black man is born equal to any man. But the culture brings him lower than any other man.

Let us look into this culture passed down to us by our forefathers and reject all the bad in it. Otherwise we will remain SAVAGES in heart and behaviour who need the White man to teach us how to live. (And now also the Lebanese, the Indian and the Chinese must be our teacher in life). Is this what we want to keep on being the case for our children? AFRICAN CULTURE IS BAD! Let us admit it and change it.

"Although Blacks are not biologically inferior, they are culturally inferior. They may be educable, but they need Whites to teach them" (Richard Turner) Before you call the man a racist he was not. He was assassinated in 1973 for his anti-apartheid activities.

Truth is what will set us free, not lies.

PoliticsMaking Naija Better - Ngo Workers & Teachers Have Anti-ritual Materials by meavox(op): 1:29pm On Oct 30, 2019
From WAHuSa Facebook page
==================================================================

NGO WORKERS AND TEACHERS IN AFRICA: PLEASE ADD ANTI-HUMAN SACRIFICE MATERIAL TO YOUR PROGRAMMES

Data generation and data collection are not as robust as they ought to be in Sub-Saharan Africa, and because of the emotions of embarrassment, fear, horror and incredulity that Human Sacrifice engenders, some Africans minimize the presence of this crime. However, seeing that the main reasons for Human Sacrifice are to make money, to get rich, to evade being caught while committing a crime (eg robbery, kidnapping, drug trafficking, cybercrime, illegal immigration, etc), for promotion to a better/top job, for political power, and for power over others such as a pastor to acquire a large following and be able to make money and gain from them, this crime is quite prevalent in Africa.

A Google search will bring up news reports on bald men being decapitated as it is believed they have gold inside their heads. Albinos are hunted down for their body parts which are believed to bring riches, success, power and sexual success. Babies, infants and children are thought to make the most potent of "medicines" and spells because of their innocence.

Human Sacrifice is so much part of African belief system that proper education is a key weapon against this horrendous crime. WAHuSa is urging NGOs and teachers in Africa to incorporate in their programmes and curricula, educational material that show that Human Sacrifice is against the law, is against Human Rights, is against decency, and is a superstition that is irrational and cruel.

Please Africans and the world, we all should rise against this wickedness of Human Sacrifice. If you are a teacher or know one, if you are an NGO worker or know one: please do not be inactive. Let us educate and enlighten African communities so that Human Sacrifice will STOP FOR GOOD.

(Do message us at WAHuSa with any suggestions and advice you have to help combat Human Sacrifice)

PoliticsIs It Best For Us To Be Re-colonized? by meavox(op): 3:20pm On Oct 25, 2019
IS IT BEST FOR US TO BE RE-COLONIZED?

Fellow Nigerians, you too like me may have heard some of us saying: "The British left Nigeria too soon. We hadn't learnt enough from them" or "Nigeria should be colonized again - by Europe, China or South Korea".

This was especially after we heard (but not confirmed) that about 2 years ago Trump criticized African leaders by saying that with such corrupt leaders Africa should be re-colonized for another 100 years.

What is clear is that a Black person will find it hard to do well when in Africa but can do well when OUTSIDE Africa. So we can say that Africa is poisonous for Black people. We find extreme LOOTING and extreme CORRUPTION in every Black country. Perhaps Rwanda under Paul Kagame is different but many of us think it will all change when he is no more leader.

Other Races think this of us: "Although Blacks are not biologically inferior, they are culturally inferior. They may be educable, but they need Whites to educate them" (Richard Turner, in Black Consciousness and White Liberals )

In Nigeria we have oyeebo and Chinese experts always teaching us. Not true? Then we have oyeebo NGOs always teaching us. Not true? Then of course we go to oyeebo countries for oyeebo to teach us how to live and behave. Not true?
(Some Black people do teach other Black people but AFTER they have themselves been taught by oyeebo.)

I suppose we can remain like this forever. Having to depend on oyeebo or Chinese to teach us, just like we are children. But not being people that can discover new things and then teach oyeebo and Chinese.

There is something very bad about our thinking and our culture. Too much superstition. Too much of "God will do it". Too much not wanting to read, especially long books/articles. Too much dancing. Too much singing. Too much eating. Too much juju and ritual killings. Too much selfishness. Too much insincerity and lying. Too much stealing and cheating. Too much begging. Too much inferior behavior.

Our children will suffer it all, and worse, if we don't remove from our culture those toxic bits. We therefore should have honest conversations about our culture, so we don't keep on passing this poison down to our children. We are not bad people. We behave badly because our culture pollutes our environment so bad is stronger than good, stupid is stronger than intelligent, self is stronger than community.

We CAN change. Let's do it!
PoliticsActivism: Against Human Sacrifice (ritual Killing) - Wahusa Is A Solution by meavox(op): 9:50am On Oct 24, 2019
Nigerians, and Africans,

I received the post below on Whatsapp today. It's about the African culture of human sacrifice (ritual killing). This is 21st Century. When will Africans STOP BEING SAVAGES! When?
The internet is filled with constant reports of how we Blacks pluck out kids' eyes, hack off arms & legs of Albinos, castrate boys for their penis, cut off heads and private parts of other Blacks. All this for spiritual "medicine" to become rich or have power. ARE WE BLACKS INSANE? This human sacrifice tells us and the world that we are SAVAGES! Yes! SAVAGES!
GOD will keep His anger upon us Africans and we see it. Even though Africa is the richest continent on earth, Africans are the poorest and most backwards. Plus, we are known as the Slave Race. For 1400 years slaves of Arabs then the last 400 years slaves of both Arabs and Europeans. The Black man is seen as the least of all and some foreign groups refuse to see us as human beings. Are they wrong when we practice human sacrifice?

Please fellow Nigerians and Africans, we must come together to STOP our human sacrifice culture. If we care about our children we cannot remain unconcerned or even involved in this crime. As others say, human sacrifice is a blood covenant, a blood pact with evil, with the devil himself. Look at how wretched and corrupt Africa is even though the richest continent - a sure sign that great evil is with us. Is this the environment you want for your child and grandchild?

We cannot all flee to Europe for ever and ever to escape the evil of Africa. In any case, GOD will see to it that the evil will follow us there. The only way, the only solution is to STOP HUMAN SACRIFICE IN AFRICA.

Please copy the message below and forward it on your Whatsapp, Twitter, Facebook etc. Please, let us support this WAHuSa (like in on Facebook, tweet it on Twitter etc, carry out their suggestions to help stop human sacrifice etc) and together as GOD watches us all, do our bit to stop human sacrifice.

PoliticsAfrican Leaders To Meet In Ghana To Dialogue On Africa Beyond Aid by meavox(op): 5:13am On Oct 23, 2019
AFRICAN LEADERS TO CONVERGE IN GHANA TO HAVE PRESIDENTIAL DIALOGUE ON AFRICA BEYOND AID
in Business Insider by Pulse, 22 October 2019
by Berlinda Etsie

Heads of State in Africa, diplomats, development partners and other stakeholders have been scheduled to converge for the maiden Presidential Dialogue on Africa Beyond Aid.

The dialogue is expected to take place in Accra, Ghana in October this year.

The dialogue which is convened by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in collaboration with the Ghana government is aimed at bringing together more than 200 participants, including the senior UNDP leadership in Africa, private sector actors and captains of industry.

It will as well provide intellectual and analytical insights into the new African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), raise visibility and also create momentum on Africa's vision for future prosperity while fostering new partnerships and the creation of allies for Africa's transformational agenda.

The Advisor at the Regional Bureau for Africa at the UNDP, New York, Mr Joseph U. Oji, announced programme when he paid a courtesy call on the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Ms Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, in her office in Accra on Friday, October 18, 2019.

The dialogue, christened “Africa’s money for Africa’s development: A future beyond aid”, leaders will discuss how Africa can develop using resources pooled from within, without over-relying on donor assistance, as the case has been for the past 60 to 70 years.

The choice of Ghana as the host the event, according to the UNDP official, is because the government blazed the trail by developing a home-grown economy dubbed: Ghana Beyond Aid, to lift the people out of poverty, with little dependence on development aid.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s initiative has since received the blessing of many development partners and the international community, finding expression in the development policy agenda of the UNDP.

Mr Oji, hence, said there was rising demand across Africa for a new breed of transformational leaders, which he said began with a distinct change in mindset and a renewed commitment to do things differently.

He added that with Africa’s endowed natural resources and human capital, it had the power to be self-sufficient if the resources were complemented with transformational leaders.

The President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, has taken up the mantle of leadership in that direction by proclaiming and promoting the Ghana Beyond Aid agenda,” he said.

Foreign AffairsGhana Is An Embarrassment Of A Country And A Total Abomination To The Creator by meavox(op): 5:27am On Oct 22, 2019
GHANA IS AN EMBARRASSMENT OF A COUNTRY AND A TOTAL ABOMINATION TO THE CREATOR – Kusi Boafo


The head of Public Sector Reforms in Ghana, Mr. Kusi Boafo has described Ghana as an embarrassment of a country after visiting Rwanda.

According to him, the only thing that Ghana can use to be ahead of Rwanda is our politicians driving luxurious cars than theirs. He has been giving positive testimonies of what he saw their government doing for their people.

Talking about what he saw and pass through the few weeks he spent there, he said;

“The only thing we have than Rwanda is our politicians drive luxurious cars than theirs. From what I saw, Ghana is an embarrassment of a country and a total abomination to the creator. If we don’t stop worshipping politicians and playing foolish NPP vs NDC politics, we will suffer in future.

“I admit that as a Public sector boss from Ghana, I drive a better car than their finance minister. They’ve more ambulances than we have. Ambulances even placed in farms. There’s so much serenity in the country. I saw a Methodist Church in a village shut down because the building looked weak. The church was told to put it in good shape before they can get a permit to reopen. They don’t want to wait for it to collapse before they blame God. A minister told me that in 2008, Kagame gave loans to an equal number of men & women to do business. They’d account after 5yrs & the women had increased their profit in folds but most of the men didn’t survive. This explains why women receive 10% higher salaries in Rwanda than men.

“We toured the country. Saw a lot of big plantations like coffee, tea and others. To my amazement, there were ambulances following farmers to the plantations in case there’s an injury. These small villages had hospitals with very young efficient working medics. I was in awe. I was stunned to learn that their minister of Public Sector Reforms schooled at the Univ of Ghana Biz Sch. A lot of them actually school in Ghana. Their free Education ends at the Junior High School Level. The Sec Schools are only subsidized. I was there with a 7 member delegation. We stepped out to find food. In fact, there was no seller on the streets and everything was in order. With the equivalence of 40cedis, I fed all the 7 people. Rent is so controlled and accommodation is easy. I realized Ghana is in crisis”

“Police were not stopping us unnecessarily on our way so I asked the driver and he told me all vehicles are equipped with chips from the Vehicle Licensing. Once your roadworthy and license are valid, you just swipe them every morning. If it expires, the police are aware. I think Ghana really needs a national orientation and complete reformation. We have to be truthful to ourselves we have lost track and direction. We have so much advantage over Rwanda but truth be told they are doing way better than us. We have to stop blaming witches.”

PoliticsFor SE And SS = Shame On Okezie Ikpeazu & Other Igbo Governors Without Vision by meavox(op): 4:22pm On Oct 21, 2019
Although Prof. Obi Nwakanma writes to people of SE, I believe it applies to people of SS too. Because we SS people (like our SE brethren) have been wasting away our opportunities since the end of the civil war. And like SE, SS is underdeveloped and should have been a much better place. Like in SE, our SS Governors are also anti-people and greedy b**tards.

Here's the article, may we of SE & SS learn and from NOW start developing the SESS together.

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

SHAME ON OKEZIE IKPEAZU & OTHER IGBO GOVERNORS WITHOUT VISION ~ By Prof. Obi Nwakanma


Nwanna, Many years ago, the General, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu spoke about the “Biafra of the mind.” Only a few, I think, understood him. Well, they say, only the deep speak to the deep.

But let me attempt here to tease out Dim Ojukwu’s prescription: the greatest proof of Igbo survival and aspiration must be to model, wherever Onye-Igbo stands, the ethos of innovation, excellence, ingenuity, and ability that marked the Igbo endeavor in Biafra. We must also use Biafra as the stepping stone to a higher vision of the Igbo place in the world.

There is no single proof or evidence today that the Igbo of this generation are capable of transforming any nation to which they lay claim. I have looked; I have studied the Igbo situation, and I have listened to my Igbo kinsmen, and I think something is fundamentally wrong: the Igbo are trapped in a deadening hate, self-pity and nostalgia. It is the kind of nostalgia that is both defeatist and deadly because it continues to romanticize the past while the future speeds away.

The Igbo cannot wait until they achieve Biafra or a separate nation in order to build and secure Igbo land. Soon after the end of the war, Igbo survivors of the war, girded their loins and embarked on the work of restoration. With singular grit, they revived the economy of the East, and by 1979, just nine years after the end of the war, were ready to take on the rest of the nation again. We their children are a disgrace to the spirit of those men and women.

The Igbo are today a beggarly nation of impotent, lachrymal people now weeping about “marginalization” and waiting for Nigeria to collapse or let them go, so that they will go and make something of themselves. This is an over-indulged generation. The last of the Igbo are old and dying; the current Igbo are “inferior Igbo.” They are just waiting for Godot.

Now, you say, the only time the Igbo will work is if power remains in the South. I think this is too simple. Take a look around you, where are those Igbo men and women? Which Igbo today have the sagacity of Zik, or the courage of Okpara, Mbakwe, or Ojukwu, the capacity of Ojike or Okigbo, the fierce pride and stabilizing force of the old Igbo women, the organizational acumen of an RBK Okafor, the selfless pride of those Igbo of the last generation, who always rose to the occasion when the Igbo summoned them to great causes, including giving their widows mite without question, for as long as “they Igbo have said…”

Now, what I’m trying to say, people, before I lose you, is that the Igbo have left the land, and the land has left the Igbo. There is incoherence. And an Incoherent people cannot run an independent nation, simple.

Bring proof to me that the Igbo have turned Igbo land into an oasis of prosperity different from elsewhere in Nigeria, and I shall agree that the current Igbo know exactly what they are saying. There is no Igbo state with a budget that is not bigger than the budget of the Republic of Ghana. Indeed, put together, the budget of all the states in Igbo land is bigger than the national budget of ten West African states. What have we done with it in terms of rebuilding public services? Creating liveable cities? Developing new infrastructure? Developing the Igbo world.

The North or the West has never run down our schools.

They did not dismantle the Government Colleges at Umuahia, Owerri, Afikpo, and the Queens School at Enugu.

They did not destroy our hospitals or primary schools. They did not stop us from building our cultural infrastructure – Community centers; recreational centers, or building up our libraries; or public parks, or city centers, or trunk B & C feeder roads.

They did not destroy our civil service. They did not stymie the growth of our cities.

They did not forbid the Igbo from creating strategic means of employing their greatest resource – their highly trained manpower- and using them to create a powerful regional economy that would continue to startle West Africa.

The North or West did not say we should not build an efficient trans-regional transport metro system, by jointly developing the old Oriental lines, that would create a network of contacts all over the East and ease the strategic movement of people, or take advantage and rebuild, and expand the Rail system that connects Port-Harcourt, Aba, Umuahia, Okigwe, Ovim, Afikpo, Enugu, to Eha-Amufu. Even if the rail system is a federal project, there has never been a consortium of the Igbo states and consortium of investors that have mounted pressure to force the Feds to hands off the Eastern Rail system, to be run as a regional Terminus. We have never made the argument.

Mbakwe threatened in 1981 that if the FGN did not build an airport in Owerri, he would mobilize and build one. He did it. He threatened that if they did not build the Petrochemical plant in Izombe, he would build one by 1984. The land for the construction of the Imo Petrochemical Plant was already cleared when the soldiers struck on the last day of 1983.

When Mbakwe arrived government house Owerri in 1979, the three major cities in old Imo – Owerri, Aba, Umuahia still had houses operating “bucket latrines” and the cities still employed nightsoil men (ndi Oburu nsi) and ran waste landfills. The first statewide public safety and hygiene law passed under the Mbakwe administration gave every landlord and household in these cities 4 months and a tax rebate to change the infrastructure from the bucket system to the water system, failure of which the houses would be marked as public health hazard zones. This was fully accomplished in three months.

By 1982, there was a marked upsurge and population shift as more Igbo began to leave Lagos and other places to return to Owerri and invest and settle. Nobody told them to return, the conditions were simply made amenable. By 1984, Igbo business men, particularly in the North, were moving their money and opening accounts with the Imo state Progress Bank, and the capital was growing for both accessible credit and for capital borrowing for infrastructural development in the East.

I point this to simply suggest that there is nothing the Igbo wish to accomplish in Nigeria that anyone can stop, if the Igbo hold down their lines. But we’ve deceived ourselves for too long – we have now made Nigeria into the convenient excuse for our own failures and self-indulgence. Now, there is a man called Onwuka Kalu. He gave the first N100, 000 as donation towards the Imo state Airport Appeals Fund in Owerri in 1981/2. There is not a single plaque to honour this man’s gesture at that airport. It will not be the Federal government that will do it; it will be the initiative of those who put value to memory in Igbo land.

But in the Imo/Abia/Ebonyi/Anambra/Enugu divisions that now pervade the Igbo mind, no one will remember. This is no recipe for a people moving towards transformation. Let me now, tell this whole truth: onweghi onye ji Ndi Igbo, Ndi Igbo ji Onwe ha (no one is to blame for the Igbo predicament but Ndigbo). Those who wrestle with Ala, the Earth goddess, often forget that no one has ever lifted the earth. Ala-Igbo is the earth, Anaghi Apa ala Apa! (No one can lift the earth). Period.

The Igbo of this generation are wrestling with the earth left to them by their ancestors. And they are busy blaming everyone else for their condition. We who have done, “Ihe Nzere” should tell the truth, or may our tongues cleave to our gums.

Many comments coming out from the northern extraction on 2023 simply shows that those clamouring for the northern continuity are simply scared of southern unity.

They kept speaking to divide the SW and SE so as to have the advantage to keep power..Junaid Mohammed and co are simply idiots whose mindset revolves around northern supremacy over the south, they are not happy of the bridge building going on between the socio cultural groups of the SW , SE, SS and NC, a strengthen unity among these groups is very much detrimental to the agenda of the core north.....
Yes. The non indigenous Fulani are terrified of all South and MB uniting. In fact Hausa are also becoming aware that they have been cheated by Fulani and want their ancestral lands back.

It seems that Usman Dan Fodio had a dream that his "empire" in our Nigeria would last just about 200 years. The time's up. That's why to combat this dream Buhari and his ilk are bent on RUGA to permanently secure Fulani in our lands. I will post a link to this dream below, but I think Nairaland also had it as an article. Here is that link:
http://saharareporters.com/2010/03/27/fulani%E2%80%99s-fear-uthman-dan-fodio%E2%80%99s-dream


Yes, South and MB are forming an alliance and the indigenous people of Nigeria need to remember who they are and not bow down to any foreign settlers/visitors. If Fulani are not happy in Nigeria they are free to return to their own ancestral lands of Futa Jalon.

Nigeria belongs to the indigenous people. We need to remember that and live according to this truth. Nigeria will be Restructured by the indigenous people. If Fulani don't like it. WHO CARES? FULANI ARE VISITORS HERE. They can leave us in peace and return to their home country.

PoliticsSome Hidden Costs Of Corruption In Nigeria by meavox(op): 1:31pm On Oct 21, 2019
Some hidden costs of corruption in Nigeria
By Ndidi Uwechue, Vanguard Newspaper, 19 April 2019


CORRUPTION can be defined as any unethical means of acquiring undeserved gain or advantage. It includes stealing, fraud, and cheating. Although corruption is found in every country, some countries are infamous for it because of the levels and extent of its practice exhibited therein. Nigeria is one such country and is commonly ranked high on any corruption hierarchy. The terrible state of underdevelopment in Nigeria yet with an unaccountable debt profile with officials, mostly civil servants and politicians, getting richer through unexplained wealth are strong evidence of wrongdoing, crime and corruption.

The more obvious costs of corruption include the depletion of national wealth, lack of public infrastructure, high levels of crime and insecurity, unnecessary deaths from preventable or treatable medical conditions, impunity, injustice, mediocrity, brain drain, hopelessness, and aimlessness, etc. I now mention some other less obvious or hitherto unknown but high costs of corruption.

In Western nations, once retired from the workforce and having reached the national pensionable age, the retiree gets a pension and so becomes a pensioner. Winter can be a difficult time in old age especially if the pensioner is suffering from medical conditions like arthritis, rheumatism, stiff muscles, etc. Although some parts of Nigeria may be too hot for a foreign pensioner, several places would be quite suitable such as Jos, Warri, Calabar, Port Harcourt, Obudu, etc. Foreign pensioners who could decide to relocate to Nigeria would bring their pensions with them. That is the foreign exchange money that would benefit our economy!

That is money coming from outside, into Nigeria. That is “easy money” is it not? The foreign pensioner would need to either buy or rent a home in Nigeria. So money for us. The pensioner would eat food and buy clothes. So money for us. The pensioner would need medical care. So money for us. The pensioner’s children and grandchildren would come and visit as tourists. So money for us. Furthermore, the pensioner would be happy to volunteer as a lecturer in a polytechnic, college, institute or university, plus volunteer to teach school children. That would be awesome intellectual knowledge and skills poured into young Nigerians, and available for the Nigerian public!

Imagine it, a foreign pensioner who worked as a master craftsman now teaching his great skills of carpentry to polytechnic students – for free! Or, a foreign pensioner who was a dental surgeon now passing on his knowledge to dentistry students and dentists – for free! Or even a foreign pensioner who was a great pastry chef now passing on his delicious superior cake-making skills to Nigerians – for free! Nigeria could market itself as a “Retirement Country” for foreign pensioners, not just elderly black people from Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean, but elderly white folk would also be made comfortable here.

Sadly, corruption prevents foreign pensioners from living among us. The insecurity, the chaotic and filthy environment, the lack of electricity, lack of public transport, lack of credible medical care, dangerous roads without pavements or traffic lights for the elderly and infirm to cross, the greedy national attitudes towards people, etc, mean that Nigeria is losing out on the all-around very positive presence that foreign pensioners would have been to us.

The word “stunted” brings up images of something that is less than normal, lower in quality and stands for undersized, for loss. Nigeria’s grand corruption produces all kinds of stuntedness. I am here alerting us to the presence of national stunted growth. Stunted growth is caused by lack of nutritious food especially before and during pregnancy so a baby is born already stunted in body and brain development since it did not get the vitamins, minerals, proteins etc that are required. By age two if a child is stunted he/she will have reduced thinking and learning abilities that will remain throughout life. Factors that lead to stunted growth are poor nutrition, poor sanitation, especially open defecation, as these expose people to diseases and worm infection, plus malaria infections.

This is a serious consequence of corruption so I repeat it. Open defecation, poor nutrition, and malaria which cause us to be stunted in growth and stunted in intelligence are due to lack of proper sanitation, proper waste management, and proper health care services. These are fallouts of corruption. We need to appreciate just how destructive grand corruption is! Corruption has made us the poverty capital of the world which means we should expect greater lack, greater stuntedness, thus even more citizens with lowered intelligence and lower thinking ability.

We are threatened with the risk of extinction through being completely unprepared for the near catastrophic effects of global warming. Predictions for West Africa have increased temperatures including hot nights, severe water shortage which will also affect agriculture (crops and animals), manufacturing, and the behaviour of wild animals, drought, wildfires, disease, and flooding, especially of low lying areas. Compounding this is that Nigerians are having babies at an alarming rate which means a very high population but no infrastructure and amenities to cater for it.

With high heat and without enough water, populations of humans, animals or plants begin to die out. That means extinction. The international community began to sound the alarm on global warming over 30 years ago. However, corruption sabotages the success of the fight to alleviate global warming because the funds needed to modernise, get into renewable energy, provide food and water security, etc are being diverted and stolen.

We are missing out on many good things, and are facing threats to our survival, all because of corruption. The solution is known. We need to stamp out corruption. We can no longer hope that someone else will be the “saviour.” Each of us has to act to save our country from the corrupt and their corruption. We do so through citizen participation, social action, and programmes of social uplift.

You're on your own if truly you are from SS. You need to deal with your satan-inspired hate. People of SS & SE are mostly Christians so are already united with brotherly love under Christ. Never once did SE or any SS nation send terrorist herdsmen anywhere to kill indigenes. Never once did SE or any SS nation want to force any colony of themselves upon the entire country. My only reason for wanting separation from Arewa is because Arewa are killing MB and Southerners.

Why your baseless hatred for SE? Unless from your spiritual father Satan. You better repent of it.

[quote author=fk002 post=71113308]THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME, BIAFRA?


[b]Very interesting piece because later, in 1960s an Ijaw man, Chief Frank Opigo selected the name "Biafra" for SE & SS region and those present at the meeting liked it. Here's my source: Orient Harmony Facebook page (Orient Harmony is a unifying ideology for people of SE & SS thus SESS people)

What of the name "Biafra"? We are told that Ojukwu convened a meeting of SESS leaders and a certain Chief Frank Opigo, an Ijaw man from today’s Bayelsa, came up with the name BIAFRA for the SESS region, and those present liked it. Biafra with its rising sun symbol, was to represent a SESS region getting brighter and brighter.

Costly mistakes were made. Most of those who played leadership roles during the civil war are now dead. We SESS who are alive now can visualize, then create a working unity between all SESS that will bring for all of us together, that dream of progress and productivity, plus prosperity and participation in the modern world that our forefathers dreamt for us.

As a mainly Christian region, we SESS people can regularly bring our hopes for SESS to our God, to plead His help and mercy, to make SESS a thoroughly godly region, a blessing to ourselves, and to the rest of Africa. Amen.

@ nwabekeyi

In 31 years time Nigeria's population will more than double to over 400 million.

So in 50 years time our current population will be nearing 600 million.

But no infrastructure.

So Nigerians will be killing Nigerians. Whether through rituals or kidnap or road accident.


THIS IS WHY RESTRUCTURING NIGERIA IS SO IMPORTANT. SO THAT THOSE AREAS THAT WANT TO PROGRESS CAN DO SO. WE OF SS & SE SHOULD ESCAPE TOGETHER AS WE ARE EQUALLY MARGINALIZED AND HAVE SAME RELIGION, ASPIRATIONS AND VALUES.


I will not be around in 50 years time. But for my children they might be around (I have told them not to have children since Nigeria is a shithole, so I should have no grandchildren unless my kids get careless undecided Before you start shouting, my wife is in total agreement)
Foreign AffairsCalls For Revolution At Lebanon Protests by meavox(op): 5:05am On Oct 20, 2019
Hear ye! Hear ye Nigerians!

Young and old people are protesting in Lebanon right now. There are several reports but I post here BBC material. Lebanese are protesting:
1) CORRUPT & LOOTING leadership
2) NO STEADY ELECTRICITY since 1990s
3) FILTHY ENVIRONMENT
4) NO HUMAN RIGHTS
5) GOVERNMENT WANTING TO TAX WHATSAPP PHONE CALLS

Lebanese are calling for a Revolution and one speaker (a female lecturer or professor) said that the current government is beyond ability to REFORM so must be REMOVED by the people through protests of uprising/revolution.

Nigerians! Other people are risking their lives to protest so that they and their children can have a good life in the PLACE WHERE THEY ARE BORN. Nigerians, are we not intelligent enough to learn from others that we need to rescue ourselves from bad leaders? We need to protest so that Nigeria gets RESTRUCTURED, and gets new fair and progressive CONSTITUTIONS! Nigeria needs protests - RALLIES FOR RESTRUCTURING is the way to freedom.

Here is just one of the several BBC videos on Lebanon's protests:

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

Calls for revolution at Lebanon protests
"Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Lebanon for a third day of nationwide protests.

They are calling on the government to step down over its handling of an economic crisis. Dozens of people are reported to have been injured since the unrest began.

The prime minister is expected to speak on Monday, after he gave ministers a deadline to find a solution."
