Politics / Charles Soludo’s Solution-free Independence Day Speech by Naijiant: 1:10pm On Oct 02, 2019 |
It is clear from his speech that Soludo has little interest in fundamental change, and would like to see tinkering around the edges of the system that have little chance of transforming Nigeria from its failed state situation. Despite his posturing, the mask slips when he thinks that the richest black man and woman in the world being Nigerians is worthy of celebration. The policies of Soludo and his boss, then President Olusegun Obasanjo, helped enrich billionaires like Aliko Dangote and Folorunso Alakija. Franklin Roosevelt said: “The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have little”. Soludo doesn’t seem to understand that the increase in the wealth of the few like Dangote and co is related to driving more Nigerians further into poverty. The charity Oxfam clearly made the link between Dangote’s riches and poverty in Nigeria.More: https://www.naijiant.com/articles/charles-soludos-solution-free-independence-day-speech/ |

Politics / United Nations Human Rights Expert On IPOB, Etc by Naijiant: 11:52am On Sep 27, 2019 |
Agnes Callamard, the United Nations Special Rapporteur for Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions, has published her report following a visit to Nigeria. The overall situation that I encountered in Nigeria gives rise to extreme concern. By many measures, the Federal authorities and the international partners are presiding over an injustice-pressure cooker. Some of the specific contexts I examined are simmering. These nation-wide and broader regional pressures applied against Nigeria’s diverse eco-political-economic systems are producing localised systems and country-wide patterns of violence, many of which are seemingly spinning out of control. They are claiming the lives of thousands and include, for instance, arbitrary killings in the context of: Arbitrary Killings of Members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)Full report here: https://www.naijiant.com/guestcolumn/nigerian-govt-presiding-over-an-injustice-pressure-cooker-united-nations-human-rights-expert/ |

Politics / Kan EU Believe IPOB? by Naijiant: 6:15pm On Sep 12, 2019 |
If he [Kanu] had indeed spoken to any gathering of Members of the European Parliament, he would have been quick to share pictures and videos to boost the credibility of his movement. But he understands that many of his supporters know very little about how things work in the West. The EU parliament is a public building. And the parliamentarians, MEPs, are supposedly representatives of the people. As a British national, and while the UK remains as a member of the EU, Kanu should have access to his MEP, Seb Dance, and the EU parliament is a public building where any member of the public can visit by applying for something like a day pass and see their representatives. So Kanu going to Brussels to allegedly present the case for Biafran secession to the MEP does little to move the Biafran dial any further from where it is today.More: https://www.naijiant.com/videos/kan-eu-believe-ipob/ |

A picture of Harold Wilson, the British prime minister during the Nigerian civil war – 1967 to 1970 – has emerged on social media, with him allegedly saying that half a million dead Biafrans wouldn’t result in a change of British policy from supporting the Nigerian side against the Biafran rebels.More: https://www.naijiant.com/articles/john-pilger-on-british-hypocrisy-during-the-biafran-war/ |
Politics / The Nigerian Govt Lacks The Moral Authority To Condemn Attacks Against Nigerians by Naijiant: 1:04pm On Sep 03, 2019 |
The Nigerian government’s impotence in performing its primary duty is portrayed at home and abroad in full unedifying glory and personified by the criminal negligence of President Muhammadu Buhari – foreign minister Onyeama’s boss. In the early 2000s, then governor of Lagos State Bola Tinubu said Buhari’s “ethnocentrism would jeopardize Nigeria’s national unity”. Buhari’s disdain for Nigerian lives – in stark contrast with South African president Cyril Ramaphosa – was demonstrated fully during the Commonwealth Heads of Government summit in London in April last year. Violent protests and looting in South Africa forced Ramaphosa to cut short his stay in London. Buhari carried on in London despite many Nigerians dying from Fulani herdsmen attacks and the police using live ammunition during Shia protests in Abuja.More: https://www.naijiant.com/articles/the-nigerian-govt-lacks-the-moral-authority-to-condemn-xenophobic-attacks-against-nigerians-in-south-africa/ |

When Ike Ekweremadu, the senator for Enugu West and former deputy senate president, accepted the invite to attend the annual “New Yam” festival of the Igbo community in Germany, held on Saturday at Nuremberg, he must have thought it was going to be a routine “meet the plebs” tour that is typical of the Nigerian elite, where they get off their high horses and allow a bunch of sycophants perform a bout of arse-licking.More: https://www.naijiant.com/videos/Igbos-egging-of-ike-ekweremadu-a-case-of-chickens-coming-home-to-roost/ |

Al Jazeera’s Inside Story programme last night took a look at the Nigerian government’s decision to get a court to proscribe the predominantly Shia group, the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN). Nigeria’s Muslims are mostly Sunni, including most of the northern Nigeria ruling elite, from President Muhammadu Buhari to state governors and military top brass. Many observers are concerned about the perception that the decision to ban the IMN may be for sectarian reasons.More + video: https://www.naijiant.com/videos/why-has-nigeria-banned-a-shia-muslim-group/ |

We hold the Buhari-led regime responsible based on the failure of the regime to obey all court orders ordering the release of the detained Shiites’ leader and previous recorded cases of Police and army brutality including extra-judicial killings against the Shiites anytime they embarked on protests and religious processions.More: https://www.naijiant.com/guestcolumn/socialist-party-of-nigeria-buhari-responsible-for-deaths-at-shia-protests/ |
