Olominira:
The article stylishly pointed to their biggest fear..... China!

The article actually pointed China as the bigger evil waiting to befall Africa.

On a serious note Africa should bury her face in shame, how can you create a bank and give it away for foreigners like this

These African leaders will soon sell all their citizens to foreign Nations.

The faith of Akinwumi is not in the hand of African countries but foreign investors.

Too bad!

lala come here o your attention is needed

The Mythological Concept of "Chi" in Igbo Naming System and Proverbs.

"Chi" in Igbo mythology is not the sky God, Chukwu is. "Chi" is a spark of Chukwu he put in human upon creation which will lead one to fulfill his destiny on earth.

"Chineke" original was not an Igbo name of a supernatural being, but the name of Christian God or God of the Bible. Igbo Worldview, religion and beliefs are different from the Christian view of creation. I wrote something few days ago according to Igbo mythology, someone was quoting Bible for me. Ọga I know it is different from Bible, the writeup said: "according to Igbo mythology and not according to Bible". Remember, we are unraveling our history.

For scholarship sake, learn first why your name is what it is.
When the missionaries arrived to Igbo land in the early 19th century, they understood the Igbo worship and beliefs. Ndị Igbo already believed there is a supernatural being who made the heaven and Earth. He dwells in the sky. There are other minor messengers you can offer your prayers to which in turn they will deliver to the supernatural being, Chiukwu, Ezechiteoke Abịama, Obinigwe, Olisa, Ọbasị, etc.

The Missionaries did not teach ndi Igbo they met here that there was God. I think that believing in a supernatural being is natural. Without being told you will know that someone, somewhere made the earth and heaven. It is in our subconscious minds..

They wanted to translate the name of God in Igbo. Already they first condemned the traditional worshiping system of the Igbo. They knew that the Igbo believed in "Chiukwu". The supernatural being. To differentiate theirs, they called it "Chineke". The "Chi" that creates things. Remember, the Igbo new converts helped in such translation. Now Christendom say Chineke mostly, leaving Chukwu because it's for the pagans.

There are other borrowed names like "Ọbasị". It came from the Efik and Ibibio's "Abasị".

Now "chi" in Igbo mythology does not mean God, rather it is a spark or force the Igbo believe Chukwu put into every human.
Each one is to choose whether he will want ezigbo Chi, or ajọ chi. Your decision in life determines whether your bad chi can change to good or remain that way. The western ideology believes in guardian angel.

The "Chi" in Igbo belief is the same. It will guard you base on your choice in life. When you have good chi, they said: " o nwere chi ọma", that is how the name : Chiọma came to be. Another one is: "Chi ya dị mma", that is how Chidịmma came to be. "Chi ya amaka" is Chiamaka.

The following Igbo names are example of this:
Chiọma
Chidimma
Chima
Chiadịkaobi
Chimamkpam
Chibụeze
Chidubem
Chinedum
Chiamaka
Chinasaramokwu
Chidaalụ, etc.

When I see people interpreting Chiọma as Good God, well I am not saying it's not good but that is not actually the meaning. These names as far as they are Igbo names have cultural and mythological undertones. Only when you know the history, etymology of them, you will understand.

Very soon hopefully, I will publish a book on Igbo names and meanings as well as their etymologies and circumstances behind the naming system. I am still researching..

PROVERBS
In Igbo proverbs, the use of chi cannot be overemphasized.
These proverbs will help you understand what I have explained above. Chi in Igbo belief is a personal guardian force created by Chiukwu to help you achieve your destiny.

Twins cannot have the same chi. Hence you hear something like:
* Onye na Chi ya
* Gị na chi gị mewe
*Otu nne na-amụ mana otu chi adịghị eke
* Chi abụ otu
* Onye chi ya kwọ n'azụ, ụkwụ adịghị akpụ ya
* Onye chi ya akwatughị, mmadụ agaghị akwatụ ya
* Chi nwaogbenye adịghị arahụ ụra
* Ụbọchị onye ajọ chi ji arị achụnta ka mgbada ji arị elu
* O nwere Chi ọma
* O nwere Chi ọjọọ
* Chi m agaghị ekwe ka ihe ọjọọ mee m.

Why do you think the Igbo personalise "chi" like chi m dị mma, Chi m ajụ, chi m agaghị ekwe ka ihere mee m?

Language is spiritual. Lol. You don't believe it but you are carrying it out. Your words, names interpret this spiritual aspect of language that goes with a cultural belief system, consciously or unconsciously.

But everyone with chi has Chinnukwu, Chiukwu that created all. When one dies according to the Igbo mythology, his chi goes to the maker in the sky while he joins his ancestors. His chi will solicit whether he will reincarnate or not. If he is reincarnating, he will come with another chi.

This is explained in these Igbo sayings:
" M bịawa ụwa ọzọ, m nwee chi ọma". "Ụwa m ọzọ ụwa ọma na chi m".

Funny, we say all these things not knowing their meanings.
Hahaha.

In 1960, France conducted the following nuclear tests in the Sahara desert:

13 February 1960: Gerboise Bleue ("blue jerboa": 70 kt
1 April 1960: Gerboise Blanche ("white jerboa": < 5 kt
27 December 1960: Gerboise Rouge ("red jerboa": < 5 kt

Nigeria became independent on 1 October 1960. When France exploded another nuclear device on 27 December 1960, the new independent Nigeria responded to France's Saharan nuclear test by ordering the departure of France's ambassador and his staff out of the country.

Full embargo was imposed on all French goods and diplomatic relations with France was suspended indefinitely.

All French transit within Nigeria were barred in January 1961.
Nigeria's ports and airports were closed to all French ships and planes.

This Nigerian action (full economic sanctions) hampered much of France's commercial relations with West Africa, a large portion of which were conducted through Nigerian ports.

Though many other African countries protested the French nuclear tests through verbal means, Nigeria was the only such country to take diplomatic and economic measures as well.
Diplomatic relations between these two countries would remain suspended until 1965.

Another quota system selection from Ilorin

Scientists have discovered a microbe that completely protects mosquitoes from being infected with malaria.

The team in Kenya and the UK say the finding has "enormous potential" to control the disease.
Malaria is spread by the bite of infected mosquitoes, so protecting them could in turn protect people.
The researchers are now investigating whether they can release infected mosquitoes into the wild, or use spores to suppress the disease.

What is this microbe?

The malaria-blocking bug, Microsporidia MB, was discovered by studying mosquitoes on the shores of Lake Victoria in Kenya. It lives in the gut and genitals of the insects.
The researchers could not find a single mosquito carrying the Microsporidia that was harbouring the malaria parasite. And lab experiments, published in Nature Communications, confirmed the microbe gave the mosquitoes protection.
Microsporidias are fungi, or at least closely related to them, and most are parasites.
However, this new species may be beneficial to the mosquito and was naturally found in around 5% of the insects studied.

How big a discovery is it?

"The data we have so far suggest it is 100% blockage, it's a very severe blockage of malaria," Dr Jeremy Herren, from the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe) in Kenya told the BBC.
He added: "It will come as a quite a surprise. I think people will find that a real big breakthrough."
More than 400,000 people are killed by malaria each year, most of them children under the age of five.
While huge progress has been made through the use of bed nets and spraying homes with insecticide, this has stalled in recent years. It is widely agreed new tools are needed to tackle malaria.

How does the microbe stop malaria?

The fine details still need to be worked out.
But Microsporidia MB could be priming the mosquito's immune system, so it is more able to fight off infections.
Or the presence of the microbe in the insect could be having a profound effect on the mosquito's metabolism, making it inhospitable for the malaria parasite.
Microsporidia MB infections appear to be life-long. If anything, the experiments show they become more intense, so the malaria-blocking effect would be long-lasting.

When can this be used against malaria?

At the very least, 40% of mosquitoes in a region need to be infected with Microsporidia in order to make a significant dent in malaria.
The microbe can be passed between adult mosquitoes and is also passed from the female to her offspring.
So, the researchers are investigating two main strategies for increasing the number of infected mosquitoes.
Microsporidia form spores which could be released en masse to infect mosquitoes
Male mosquitoes (which don't bite) could be infected in the lab and released into the wild to infect the females when they have sex
"It's a new discovery. We are very excited by its potential for malaria control. It has enormous potential," Prof Steven Sinkins, from the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research, told the BBC.
This concept of disease control using microbes is not unprecedented. A type of bacteria called Wolbachia has been shown to make it harder for mosquitoes to spread dengue fever in real-world trials.

What happens next?

The scientists need to understand how the microbe spreads, so they plan to perform more tests in Kenya.
However, these approaches are relatively uncontroversial as the species is already found in wild mosquitoes and is not introducing something new.
It also would not kill the mosquitoes, so would not have an impact on ecosystems that are dependent on them as food.
This is part of other strategies like a killer fungus that can almost completely collapse mosquito populations in weeks.

Black African deaths three times higher than white Britons -
study!

Coronavirus patients from black African backgrounds in
England and Wales are dying at more than triple the rate of
white Britons, a study suggests.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said a higher proportion
of people from ethnic minority backgrounds live in areas hit
harder by Covid-19.

However, they tend to be younger on average, so should be
less vulnerable.

Ross Warwick, a research economist at IFS, said there was
"no single explanation and different factors may be more
important for different groups".

"Black Africans are particularly likely to be employed in key
worker roles which might put them at risk," he said.

Richard Darroch, Former Government of Canada (2011-present)~

This is a bit off point but it’s a story that must be told.
I once had the pleasure of a nun’s company in the rear seat. She had slipped a stop-sign and t-boned a car causing considerable damage.

At the time we were going through a clampdown on vehicular accidents. The policy was to charge violators wherever the evidence was clear that they had broken a law.

Now, this accident was a jim-dandy. There were no injuries but we had to close a major intersection for an hour and re-route heavy traffic. There was just no way to avoid charging the good Sister. So I invited this tiny, bespectacled grey-haired sweetheart to join me for a little chat.

She settled into the rear seat and immediately started apologizing and admitting guilt. (Well, she was a nun). She was so damned nice that I started looking for a way out for her. I threw out every lifeline I could think of. Was she ill?

Had she been distracted by something beyond her control? Were the brakes working? Despite my best effort, nothing I said swayed her from stepping up and insisting her guilt.

Having exhausted all possible escape options, I gently informed her that I was charging her, inwardly cringing at the prospect. My partner’s jaw was in spasm and his shoulders shook as he tried not to laugh out loud. The good Sister took the news in stride and thanked me for my kindness!

Anyway, when the dirty deed was done I arranged a drive home for her and she thanked me again and - I swear to God (sorry God) - she blessed me! I’ve never felt so awful doing my job and shuddered at the ribbing I’d receive from the rest of the shift.

What’s worse, and again I swear to - well, “you know who” - as I climbed back into the unit, I heard a loud clap of thunder and rain poured forth. My partner leaned over and said with an evil grin: “now you’ve pissed Him off you dumb SOB!”
That happened over forty years ago and I still shake my head and laugh at life’s crazy moments. You just can’t make that sh*t up!

Will Studer, 20 Years experience in the IT field, former police officer~

I cuffed and placed a 19-year-old girl in the back of my car once for underage drinking as she was staggering across the street and I was worried for her safety.

She proceeded to proposition me and listed a list of nasty things she was willing to do if I didn't arrest her. Some of the things I literally had to look up later. I was shocked, as she had just graduated months before and I knew she was a good student and star athlete.

All I cared about was her safety. I didn't want to hurt her college prospects or embarrass her parents so I just called in that I was giving a female a ride home and my mileage.

The whole way there I lectured her as sternly as I could, then uncuffed her and walked her to the door. Her mom came to the door and I simply said, “I think she’s had a drink or two and I think she should stay home for the rest of the night or maybe even the whole weekend.” Her mother looked mortified and thanked me as tears began to stream from her face.

The daughter began profusely crying and apologizing. Her mother sent her to her room and briefly explained a very personal thing that had happened to the daughter days earlier. I knew at that point I had made the right choice. I didn't have the heart to tell the mother the things her daughter had said and I struggle to this day with whether I should have. I hope she didn't go down a wrong path in life using those tactics when life was really tough.

Jim Doherty, Police officer for 20+ years serving at local, state, and federal levels.

I was patrolling a Marina, basically a landfill peninsula extending into a bay adjacent to the city that employed me. There was a park within the Marina. When assigned to this beat, I routinely patrolled that park on foot, because there was an ongoing problem with homeless turning it into a latter-day Hooverville.

Anyway, I came upon a guy camping there, started toward him. He jumped up and immediately started yelling at me angrily. First thing I noticed was that he had a knife sheathed on his right thigh. He’d cut a couple of slots along the outside seam of his blue jeans, inserted a plastic knife sheath through the slots, and had a wooden knife handle sticking out of the top of the sheath.

I radioed for back-up and hoped someone would get there before he decided to pull that knife on me. Then I started backing away. I was within a distance that, we were taught, a guy with a knife could traverse before most cops could draw a gun and fire, and I wanted to lengthen that distance. And my chances.
He kept on yelling at me, and, ultimately his hand dropped to the knife handle, and he started to draw it.
My gun was in my hand before I realized I’d made thedecision to draw. I started squeezing the trigger, but he suddenly dropped the knife, so I just put him under arrest.

On the way back to the station, he started to talk. Turned out to be a Vietnam vet who’d fallen on hard times.
Divorced. Hadn’t seen his kids in years. Pissed off at all the people who’d “never been in ‘Nam.”

He’d had trouble with someone else in that park earlier, and thought I was the same guy at first. When he saw I was policeman, his pride wouldn’t let him back down.

He turned out not to be such a bad guy. I fictionalized him in the first short story I ever wrote that sold. Basically, I inserted him into the Good Samaritan story, updating it, making the policeman the victim that two people pass up, and the Samaritan a homeless military vet he arrested a week earlier, the last person the cop (like the Temple Jew in the original parable) would expect help from.

An Angry Man

I will tell you in advance the story is based on the conversation which occurred in my patrol car, but most of it I can not repeat.
We had a businessman in our town who was a real hot-head and always acted out when around the police. He felt entitled to special treatment because of his family name and business ties to the city. We were at his house for various calls, and he was always loud and abusive with an explosive temper.

This was an educated guy of about fifty who owned his own successful business. His mother was a local attorney who would always come to his rescue. He would regularly mouth off to us but would always play the victim when mummy came to bail him out.

I’m working day shift as a patrol sergeant and observed this businessman speeding past a point where I had set up stationary radar. I caught up to him right as he was pulling up to his place of business. I had my overhead lights on, but he still got out of the car and started to walk to his business.

I quickly stopped him and instructed him to have a seat in his vehicle. He starts with, “Don’t you know who I am?” and “That’s my building.” I replied that I knew who he was and I needed to see his license and registration. I took the documents and he continued to make comments about who he knew and what a mistake I was making.

I normally let stuff like that just roll off of me, but when I returned to my patrol car, dispatch notified me that he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. Now I knew things were going to get ugly.
This was before the time of video camera systems in cars or on officers. I always carried a pocket tape-recorder, more to protect myself against false claims than to get the goods on people. I thought it would be prudent to turn it on for the remainder of this call.

I issued the man a warning for the speeding violation. I started out giving him back his paperwork and advising him that I would not be giving him a summons.

I then had the unpleasant duty of telling him he had a warrant for his arrest. First, he said he could take care of it after work, then he wanted me to follow him to the station.

I advised him to exit the vehicle and lock it up. I handcuffed him and placed him in the back of the patrol car. He went nuts, he was screaming at me every vile thing he could think to say. He told me he would see me fired and that he would kick my ass if he wasn’t cuffed.

I had a long three-minute ride to the police station listening to him threaten me repeatedly. When we got down to the hall, I removed one handcuff and cuffed him to the steel bar which is attached to the wall for securing prisoners.

I gave him his phone call, and mommy was on the way.
She was a lawyer but she was what we would consider a lightweight, mainly doing wills and paperwork and rarely appearing in court. She was soft spoken and like her son, acted like she was better than everybody else, especially the police.
As soon as she arrived she politely told her son to remain silent and asked to speak to my supervisor. I advised her my supervisor was the patrol commander and he wasn’t in.

She wanted to know why this successful businessman was handcuffed to the bar like a common criminal. Her words just oozed of entitlement like how dare I do my job.

I advised that her son had been very upset and had made some threatening statements. Her son says, “That's a lie mom, I never threatened anybody.” She looks at me, so I tell her, “Madam, I don’t lie. If I say he threatened me, that’s what happened.”

She replies, “So I’m supposed to take your word over my own son’s.” With the emphasis on “your word” like I’m a known liar.
I replied, “My word should be enough, but let’s see what my Sony tape-recorder has to say.” With that, I pulled out the recorder and started to play his rantings. I let it play for several minutes with him cursing me out and threatening to have me fired and kick my ass. I stopped the recording and said, “Perhaps I should charge him with the threats and play this tape for the judge.”

Boy, was her upper-class entitled face red. Her son started to say something and she turned and shouted: “You Shut the F**k Up.” She stopped and composed herself for a minute. She then told me her son had anger issues and asked very politely if her son apologized could she post his bail and take him home without further charges being filed.

I told her, I didn’t want to see her son in any more trouble.
But it was important to me, for her to know that I don’t lie and while I’m not charging him, the threat will be documented in a police report.

Not every day can be a great day, but for that one minute when she dropped her fake entitled manners and went off on her lying son, well, that was priceless.

Here are some interesting comments between police officers and detainees around the world.

Bryan Morgan, Retired peace officer, criminal justice instructor said...
I had arrested a prostitute for being under the influence of drugs, possession of drugs, and warrants. She was beautiful. I didn’t understand why, so I asked her why because she was beautiful. On the way to jail She at first told me she was a prostitute because she did drugs. I was being polite and she thought I was cute for asking and being concerned about her being a street walker as I had just started working alone after finishing training and she could tell. She admitted she really liked heroin because she didn’t have to think about the past.

I got to ask her why she started using drugs. She admitted she was abused physically and psychologically as a child. She told me they helped erase the pain by altering her reality (my words-not hers) and then she got hooked. I figured out that she and most drug addicted people i would meet use drugs to cover up what they think is a shitty life. They alter reality instead of changing their situation.

She didn’t think she was beautiful, that was how i got her to talk. I told her she was beautiful, why would she do that? When I booked her into jail she asked me if she could see me again sometime. I told her thank you but no, I was married.

I thought she had told me the absolute truth. It helped me understand why most other people use drugs.

if not for COVID19, China already plan to export 300 million Chinese national to Africa between year 2020 and 2022

they no longer hide their evil agenda against Africa.

Bill Gate vaccine comes to mind, West are dying but the vaccine is coming to Africa.

When you have a bunch of wicked leaders, who are themselves slaves to masters ,this is how the world will continue to see your people when you don't know care about your people. They will continue to say Africans are not doing anything. I will not be surprised the political leadership in most African countries have already signed up to this dangerous experimentation... If the Devil exist, the French govt is the Devil

Two top French doctors said on live TV that coronavirus vaccines should be tested on poor Africans, leaving viewers horrified.
A discussion between two top French doctors on live TV left viewers horrified when they proposed that Africa should become a giant laboratory for coronavirus vaccine testing because the continent lacked the resources to defend against COVID-19.
In the segment broadcast on the French TV channel LCI, Jean-Paul Mira and Camille Locht raised the idea of testing new vaccines on impoverished African populations.
Mira is head of the intensive-care department at the Cochin Hospital in Paris, while Locht is the research director at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research, known as Inserm.
"If I can be provocative," Mira said, "shouldn't we do this study in Africa where there are no masks, no treatment, no intensive care? A bit like we did in some studies on AIDS. We tried things on prostitutes because they are highly exposed and do not protect themselves."
Locht agreed, saying: "You are right. We are actually thinking of a parallel study in Africa to use with the same kind of approach with BCG placebos," referring to vaccination against tuberculosis that Inserm says has appeared to protect children against infections, particularly respiratory ones.
The footage, broadcast Wednesday, triggered a deluge of outrage accusing the doctors of white colonial attitudes.
Several of Africa's leading soccer players, including the former Chelsea star Didier Drogba and the former Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o, also tweeted their anger.
