You do not pray for good health, happiness and enough for you and your family.

Just don't kill yourself or somebody for billion that cannot cure sickness.

Make God just bless our hustle. I know I shall one day make it, and it shall then be my turn to shine.

helinues:
Who are you angry with @ op?

You for one.

Omo Baba olowo.

So, you finally made it out of your Rathole countries, towns and villages.

You then send videos home that you have Achieved. Indeed you are the first Nigerian to do so?

The First is the European and American Africans that escaped Slavery, became a free man after buying his freedom from the money he made working hard.

It is disgusting for Africans who live in their own free Independent countries but are too complacent to wrestle Economic Freedom from their own African leaders:

To usurp the First from European and African Americans. Read your History books.

Your Freedom Fighters were the First, generation ago when they reclaimed their Independence.

The same Independence your leaders are selling back to spend the money outside Africa.

Sensible people could have said so far so good..

She never with it on Africa. The message was for African leaders to plan ahead. But that is not part of our vision.

Hunger dey catch for our country o. As secondary school students we used to help ourselves freely to yams and roast them.

Cassava nor be big tin nah, e dey grow anywhere.

I thought Shonibare Estate is older than Omole Estate.

Ron Klain former Obama Ebola Zsar said United States is the worst place to be for Covid-19.

What else is new for Blacks in USA and Britain for the highest number of deaths. African Americans are two and a half times more likely as whites to die of Covid-19 and worse for American Indians.

Why are you guys so insensitive? One of the worst thing on earth is for a little kid to grow up knowing he or she can never be President of the country he was born.

Simply because she is not Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba and Igbo. Each of these Fulani, Igbo or Yoruba had a chance to change the direction of the country as Head of State and failed miserably. We have better qualified Minorities all over the North and South.

Indeed the last President before the Cow is a Biafran. May God bless Nzeogwu and punish those that betrayed him.

Nna nor get shame?

pfadom:
You expect the government to welcome them with open arms or call them for a banquet.

It serves them right. I wonder why they lack strategy.

Your cohorts in other countries, even inTunisia started a revolution, Black Lives Matter are mostly children of the privileged.

You are here typing rubbish because your parents and cronies are members of lootocracy class.

You will be hanged with your parents.

If this man had this many dark African wives, he would not be this famous. Africans have deep inferiority complex about the way their skin is branded. All blacks are proud and flaunt their light skin grannies that are products of abused slaves with their white masters that disowned and sold them. Why?

On the streets of major cities in Nigeria are starving begers from North Africa and Arab countries that Nigerians prefer to give money to and marry to produce light skinned kids.

Only Nigerians call these light skin outcast queens. Some guys here dream of marrying white girl. Tell me the few white girls that are accepted in their families after marrying a black guy (no matter how rich the black guy is).

Is Prince Andrew accepted in England for marrying a black lady giving birth to a black baby? Think Africans, instead of celebrating inferiority complex.

Leave them alone in peace in their God given land.

No laws against States crossing for financial, political and social gains attract the worst set of people.

Only one Region in Nigeria tolerates this abomination. The same region that never invades others.

Tom Cotton describes slavery as a 'necessary evil' in bid to keep schools from teaching 1619 Project CNN

There is so much noise about bolting out of Nigeria that some folks must have been told there is another country they have a right to.

Even children of the rich are bolting out to countries their parents bought with the loot.

Now there are cries to take your parents out.

Which makes us wonder: which country did you build with your blood and sweat outside or you are just looking for readymade as usual. Reap where you did not sow.

Cruseder:
corruption is a disease in our country

You are right, this disease is cancer. If we do not cut it off, it destroys the rest of the body.

Beyond Oil: Niger Delta Dc Save Fishermen & Farmers

Have you heard the latest jokes about Nigeria?
No O, but I know they loot in billions! The Country is a big joke all over the world. From fantastically corrupt labels by the British to disappearing projects by the Kenyans. It's your choice, pick any country. The latest ones are from Nigerians themselves about Niger Delta Development Commission.

(NDDC) Niger Delta Development Commission: The clearing house for special allocation of funds to develop and clean Environmental disaster in the polluted areas. There are some communities in African countries that share the joy and the disappointment as producers of oil, so called black gold. It has turned into nightmares. Though we have very little preservation and development in these communities, each African country embezzled the income, changed most into foreign currencies for laundering abroad.

Many organizations from those that called themselves Militants, Activists, Nonprofits to political leaders have usurped their dire cause to become international millionaires, billionaires and gained positions at the expense of fishermen and farmers that never see improvement made to their polluted environment. Actually, many of the farmers succumbed to environmental diseases similar to those of illegal and legal mining of gold, diamond and uranium.

Regardless of which nationality and ethnic groups they are, these communities need an organization where they can brainstorm about the solutions to the degradation of their land and water that make it impossible to farm and fish. The oil income from these areas, set aside for noble deeds, is the reason NDDC was formed in Nigeria.

One would expect that countries like Ghana, Equatorial Guinea and others would learn from the present probe and jokes about NDDC in Nigeria. Unfortunately, what turned into development and wealth in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and other countries actually turned into the curse of oil that has created wars from Nigeria to Sudan. While no country is free of corruption, it does not have to be the most notable markers of African leaders and businessmen.

Greed, aggrandizement and selfishness at the risk of being incarcerated and destroyed for money laundering has gone beyond mental conditioning and masturbation of experimental mice in a pen into total madness. It is slavery of Africans by Africans again.

Though African children are not supposed to question their parents, some children with conscience must come out crying that their friends are blaming them for poverty, Afrophobia and ethnic hatred in Africa even when they are well fed and have escaped with looted funds and talents overseas as privileged class. No Country, like those pointing fingers from Kenya, South Africa to little Cape Verde should be comfortable. We all have these parasites within us.

Do not wait for the jokes, they are not funny anymore. We popped our popcorn, guguru and epa during OBJ/Atiku Show. Yet, OBJ wanted a third term. Atiku came back as a Presidential candidate. Hardly have we recovered from the "smiling and suffering" when we witnessed the Dansuki Show, the great Santa Claus. So, friends from other African countries wanted to know how many billions and billionaires exist in Nigeria.

Trainings are developing at the comedy houses on how to faint when called upon to account for billions looted. Some have faked cancer, heart attack, hypertension etc. as if the poor do not develop any of these or only embezzlers could. Competition is on for the most creative faker. These are the same people that run to the best hospitals around the world for medical check-ups until the visas stop to take care of their own.

Suddenly, it is no longer tenable to claim: it is our money, our oil and our sons. It might be too late to realize that these looters did not buy another country in Europe and America to move into but only donated the loot into their pockets to finance outrageous lifeclasss for their families while leaving the farmers and fishermen in pitiful situations. These are cold blooded murderers killing their countries slowly!

Some Nigerians are waiting for their turns to loot, some are bailing out while foreigners could not think of a better place to make money as long as they can hold their nose for a short-term, as foreign partners. Meanwhile, China, International Monetary


Funds and the World Bank come to lend against generations of unborn children using the Country as collateral to pay inflated emolument. There must be a better way to demonstrate your love for your people and country.

Recently, African Governments have suddenly woken up to realize there are illegal oil tankers, mining of gold, diamond, uranium and other precious metals going on in their backyards operated with the full cooperation of Vagabond in Power but without official Government approval. Come on now, who gave them permission to load the oil tankers glaringly, to take land from owners and recklessly destroy their normal way of life and their livelihoods?

Indeed, Oil income has generated animosity between close neighborhoods, animosities and wars within the countries. The civil wars usually start from corruption, easily covered up by Xenophobia.

My only question is where does Reno O. get the money to sustain his family abroad if he is not a pen robber and money launderer.

Are we so bereft of progress in our lives that any individual Award or personal achievement that should be celebrated by that family is now a reason for the whole country?

Because you were born in the gutter does not mean gutter was born in you. Children thrown away and rescued from the sea or garbage, have brought succor, roads, hospitals, jobs and progress to their barren land.

Those are the ones we must celebrate.

This guy Again?

How did he secure another judgement in his favor while the people give up

Anyone that read George Floyd Transcript will understand why they elected their President and why some Nigerians worship him.

The man died pleasing for his life in the hands of Ritualists that invaded the Police.

One has to take it easy at these people not burst a nerve. People develop their countries for their own children, you see it, hear it and love it. Even after getting there, you hope they will treat you the same. If they don't, you cry discrimination.

Those who were there before Columbus are killed and maimed on sight. When they succeed against all odds, you internalize them and claim those that were there before you are stupid.

Inventus Obi and Hushpuppi have not thought you any lesson. Those honest Africans there are living from paycheck to paycheck hoping to buy a land and build in Nigeria.

Many are defrauded after sending money home. You have opportunity to do what those there already wish they can.

You want ja pa, eh? Good riddance o.

Maybe that is how Ned Nwoko got his wives before they became celebrities in their Countries.

They went underground for now.

Vyzz:

Look at this goat. Out of all the names mentioned in my post, his only problem is Okadigbo.

Why don't you go home and ask if you are not old enough.

Yes, the same Buhari/Okadigbo you all love and voted for. Ask them about that too and how different is that to Buhari/Osinbajo.

MPESA:
And what has Okadigbo done to be associated with Abacha , Obasanjo, and Buhari.....

In the 80s the lighter skins also flooded Lagos and maybe other Southern parts. Motor park boys used to play with their boobs right in front of their parents.

Some of them became pregnant of course and gave birth to Hollywood actresses and leaders' wives of today.

I even know of an ethnic group that call them the pride and evidence of their superior traits. Compare that to the rejection of one drop black blood in whites.

If you think our problems are only foreign goods and services, it is just the iceberg of our inferiority complex.

There is nothing wrong with crooks exposing crooks.

Abacha was one of the biggest rogues but you dare not loot without his knowledge.

Even Obasanjo who was the best against corruption, also stole. During his time the House also "forgave" Okadigbo and Speaker Buhari.

All in all RIBADU remains the BEST!

Nigerians have been known for fraud for a long time overshadowing those hardworking ones.

Nigerians worked full time and schooled full time or part-time abroad.

Then some discovered way to make quick money to spite the hard-working ones - you know them: God Pickup My Call Crew.

We actually know which part of Nigeria specialized in white collar crimes and which specialized in hard crimes. The FBI and local police profile them.

That was why Murtala Mohammed, the Suicide blokos Bomber was an aberration.

Now Asians countries profile them. Hushppupi did not start yesterday and all Nigerians cannot hide under him.

Nigerians have to rethink their pursuit of money at any cost. Parents do not know the jobs of their children.

Caught Between Two Brutalities: Police Or Gangs

During the time when Mental Hospitals around the world had mental patients admitted, there were violent ones among them, even assaulting their caregivers that had to be restrained on a daily basis by health and mental workers without guns. Can anyone, anywhere imagine these violent mental patients being shot or killed during those restraints?

Police must be trained as part of a team deescalating volatile or violent situations, not shooting their way through the homeless or demonstrators in a split second. There is no community where that type of aggressive confrontation can be justified against children, youths or young men because the lives of Africans matter less at home or abroad.

No matter where we are at home or overseas, the color of your skin should not be promting split seconds decisions as if Police are facing devil reincarnation in a war zone overseas or give "shoot on sight" order at home against unarmed civilian demonstrators as OBJ once did in Lagos. How often have we seen split second decisions or Police in war riot gear in white neighborhoods unless someone called for sighting a black skin?

If Police can only handle violent and aggressive situations, there must be fewer of them so equipped when such situations arise so trained personnel can defuse the situation. Mental Health and Social workers must be funded to deal with the same situations they faced in the old mental institutions. The difference would be dealing with outpatients instead of in-patients.

Yaba Left is a common phrase or joke in Lagos today but it was a full Mental Hospital. In the late 70s and early 80s, the world moved away from keeping mental patients in the institutions. Many mental patients increased the number of homeless people that were not common in African countries then. Unfortunately, they became targets for Police brutality including shootings, especially in the so called advanced countries. What is even worse is that blacks that already suffer from Police brutality even when they are sane became most of the victims disproportionately.

Africans must demonstrate to the world a new form of community policing practice by skilled Policewomen (welfare) in those days. Rather than going out of Africa to learn how to abuse blacks, mental patients and demonstrators on the streets with police dogs. Policing must be reimagined to include Social and Mental workers within the Police departments or Welfare Officers funded separately from Police budgets.

How can the so-called civilized communities be forced to resign either to the brutality of devious gangs taking advantage of demonstrations or extremists that have infiltrated our constituted authorities expected to serve and protect us? It must not be a choice between a rock or a hard place, fry pan or fire, do or die. It is a cry for justice and peace for decent and civilized people, no matter how rich or poor. They just deserve to live in peace and harmony. We must face the fact that the world was more civilized with less vanities that breed crimes and gangs than we are today. Modernization is not the same as civilized communities.

In order to tarnish the reputation of hard working police officers and peaceful demonstrators; gangs, militias and hate groups are trying whatever they can, disguised within legal authorities to kill our choice. There are thugs in every community seeking legitimacy by presenting themselves as peace lovers and enforcers of law and order. Some drug dealers even open food banks to attract the poor and recruits.

However, bias is difficult to cure by training alone. Privilege is difficult to give up. After all, educated folks and trainers like the one that kneeled on Floyd's neck to death, have their own biases. There are cultural and systemic biases cutting across racial and ethnic groups that are manifested in the training of our children from primary to high schools into law enforcement and colleges. Youths and children throughout the world have come out in all colors rejecting the obvious "good old days" privilege that disenfranchised and oppressed the poor. We must make changes while this George Floyd shock still rocks most conscience repulsively.

When black police officers have to sue their own departments because of racial harassment by fellow officers abroad or some brave police officers that came out and testified to lawmakers at home about maintaining their own vehicles and contributing bribes to Oga at the Top; we know the head is rotten from the top down. It has to be corrected from the ground up.

We cannot discount the fact that cannibals and ritualists have invaded our peaceful coexistence for notoriety and personal aggrandizement. We always hear about the brutalities, maiming and killing by militias. Unfortunately inside constituted authorities also. Some people had cried out that the Police were providing cover and protecting undesirable elements in the communities. But it took phone videos to bring these atrocities into our senses. Those who live by the swords die by the sword.

In most African countries, it is difficult to tell the difference between Police and political thugs. When you groom thugs during elections against your opponents and their supporters, it becomes difficult to curb their atrocious behavior after elections. Some of them ride the waves and coattails of their sponsors into local appointed offices and some elected offices. We as Africans are very familiar with brutal military dictators changing uniforms to become civilian politicians (militricians).

Contrary to what our "educated" parents told us because of their overseas exposure, the same inhumanity that exists in Africa can be worse for Africans in Diaspora. When our Youths give up on us to risk the desert and sea hoping against hope for a better life outside Africa, it is an indictment of our present day managers. We and those looking for cheap educated labor glamorize outsiders and demonize our own. By the time the Youths find out the reality, their heads are already on the chopping blocks for body parts or they are too ashamed to admit the nightmares abroad. A few cried for help back home if they could escape or hide to make calls.
