The issue of which past or present criminal presidents of Nigeria and Africa in general has achieved what and what is not a subject to be debated upon. I consider this issue of discussion or argument as senseless, hopeless and a sign of shallow reasoning.

As long as the majority of the Nigerian masses still find it difficult to  afford food on their tables (many people still perish because of hunger in Nigeria).
Men, women, boys, girls and children find it extremely difficult to cloth themselves, or move about in tattered threads knowing fully well that after walking the streets of Nigeria still have a big problem to comprehend about where to lay their heads.

FOOD, CLOTHING and SHELTER are basic and fundamental neccessities that every Nigerian must be entitled to or have access to at any given period of time, anywhere. And the satisfaction of this fundamentals should never be a commendation to anyone. It is a right.

Since this primary needs which ensures the healthy, peaceful survival, development and existence of every human being living are still a mirage to the teeming masses of Nigeria, to give credits or accord any form of respect or value to any past or present criminal presidents is foolhardy and a slap on the faces of millions of Nigerians in a country that have abundance human and natural resources coupled with a fertile land to support every agricultural products.

Anyone that can defend an explanation why there are milions of foodless, clotheless and homeless Nigerians in the mist of abundant mineral resources is a real enemy and part of the system that have been denying majority of the masses the right of access to the basic and fundamental means of existence.
Such a person must be hanged immediately without remorse.

All this senseless and vague concepts of privatization, commercialization, liberalization, in broader term investment, must be condemned as from today.This are meaningless, conduit pipes, ploy and instruments of manipulation for corruption and embezzlement which will never put food, cloth and give home to the countless millions but further deny and impoverish them from their basic needs of existence.

It is not possible for someone to run away from his shadow. A president that is not aware - or he is aware -  of the priorities of needs of his fellow country men and women and fails to satisfy first this basic needs (because for example you cannot make clothes from cotton when you are hungry and it is never possible for humans to think about having a house when they are hungry and clotheless) in all abundance with the resources at the country´s disposal is a criminal or a slowpoke or a tool of manipulation in the hands of the imperalist Nations.

Such a presidents must never be accorded any form of respect or recognition (except by his fellow cronies who jointly connive to deny the masses their rights),
but must be called a criminal and a big one at that!

In my own knowledge, i do not know how investment and other concepts associated with it , will make a president understand that he has to go into massive agricultural programmes without waiting for any form of investment to use the fertile land that nature has blessed the country with. From this agricultural products comes cotton also to be used for clothing. The land is there to be used.

There is no material product that have been transformed into a finished product that does not come from beneath the earth (food, clothing and shelter are basic essentials that must be guaranteed to all citizens first by any government) .

Any other form of production that are secondary are not basics but material distraction that complement the primary needs. The satisfaction of the primary needs opens the door for the satisfaction of the secondary. The primary needs can do without the secondary needs but the secondary needs can never do without the primary needs.

The criminal presidents go about chasing shadows in the satisfaction  of the secondary needs criminally deceiving the masses that investment will satisfy their basics.

Investment should be in brains and not structures or the establishment of big companies foolishly believing and deceiving that this will create jobs for the masses.
A country like Nigeria and Africa in general must invest in brains. The resources are there. Nature given, God given. The question is what and how can we use this resources.

Like i`ve said, every resources used in the manufacture of a given product comes from beneath the earth.For example -  the materials used in the production of a car comes from beneath the earth.
The machinery used in the production or assembly of a car also comes from beneath the earth. Nothing falls from the sky. Only the air we breathe.

And if nature has bestowed all this resources in all of the land of Nigeria and Africa in general, it becomes very catastrophic and funny to wait for investment from outside to come and tell the criminal presidents what to do with the resources - of which -  the land from which the investor is coming from does not possess the variety of nature given resources that our country Nigeria possess.

How possible is it that a person or foreign investor that comes from a land that does not possess for example natural resources in steel or aluminium come to tell me or advice me on what to do with those resources.

If that is the case - that means - I have no brains or I have a brain but I refuse to think with my brains. No human has a monopoly of intelligence.

Ok -  let us assume that the investor has the brain to transform this natural given resources which his country does not even possess, then the question is how was it possible for an investor to know how to use this resources?

Then - what about us that our country possess this resources? Will we have to continue to wait on foreign direct investment all the time?

This is the reason why the continent of Africa is suffering in total hopelessness today because we fail to realize that we have to think on our own because we have dummies and puppets who have been so brain-washed to be useful only as tools of manipulation in order to satisy other country´s interest and continue to go against the interest of his own people.

Brains are never for oppression but to think and find the way out on how we are going to use our natural given resources to our benefits.

Foreign investment also has its own benefits to satisfy which for a long time has been its only means of survival -  and for how long will our slowpoke criminal presidents continue to think that his country´s interest will be satisfied when the foreign investment also has his own interest?

Whose interest will then be served? It is absolute and practically impossible for two interest to be satisfied for the benefit of all.
The interest of Nigerians is the provisions of the basic necessities of life. There will always be contradictions and more often than not it is always at the expense of the host countries.

Since past and present criminal Presidents do not care because they have been conniving with this investors to oppress and steal the natural resources of the  the masses , Nigeria and Africa will never satisfy their basic neccessities of life.

Life will continue to be difficult for the masses till eternity. It becomes very imperative that the masses should declare every past and present Presidents criminals  wanted and please, stop this ridiculous argument of which criminal president have acheived what and what,

I repeat FOOD, CLOTHING and SHELTER are basics and should never be compared with any form of achievements.

Until this is satisfied in abundance , a reasonable and responsible leader will never stop to think about something different.

A government that fails to satisy this basic needs of the whole people not only to a group of individual or groups of individual in years past and present especially in the face of abundance human and natural resources must be declared a CRIMINAL AND WANTED. TIME FOR EXCUSES ARE OVER. THE MASSES MUST TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR LIVES AND THAT OF THEIR CHILDREN INTO THEIR OWN HANDS NOW IN THE LAND OF THEIR ANCESTORS.

Mr Revolution, i am sorry to say that you have eyes but you cannot see.

ARE THEY TRULY AFRICANS OR THEY WEAR AFRICAN MASKS TO COVER THEIR REAL IDENTITY ?

First and foremost, i call on all the scientist in all our Tertiary institution to come together to carry out a detailed investigation of the DNA of all our past and present (especially the DNA of OBJ) ´´President Masters´´in order for the teeming masses to know the true and real origin of this criminals.
But what a shame. No Institution or Laboratory in the whole of Nigeria that is capable of determining a DNA a sample.

No logical mind can fathom why this criminal Presidents past and present can go against the will and interest of their own people (including his own interest knowingly or unknowingly) whom they claim to represent by denying them the essentials of a descent living in a land of abundance.

I know that every past and present President in Nigeria and Africa in general with the exception of one or two President (this exception is not applicable to Nigeria) have always and will continue to go against the cries and yearnings of the masses as long as we the masses do not find out where their loyalty lies.

By employing the dictates or programmes of IMF, World Bank and other multinational conglomerates into the day to day administration of African countries, Presidents like OBJ and his counterparts in other African countries are only tools of manipulation in the hands of imperialistic Nations to satisfy their own interest. I repeat, only their own interest.
It is impossible to satisfy two interest. Either one is satisfied and the other is left to suffer or no interest is satisfied. The interest of Nigeria should be to provide food, shelter, clothing, jobs and other services that will complement the basic needs of the people of Nigeria.

And as long as a great country like Nigeria with the capacity and capability to be a self sufficient country have presidents like OBJ who are morons and tools of manipulation remain in power or have access to power, then Nigerians should forget about meeting their basic needs till eternity.

All the candidates listed here who have made known their intention or yet to  make known their intention to run for the presidential election are all criminals.
If Nigeria had an intergrit system of governance, all of this so called seekers or yet to be known seekers would be serving life sentences either for aiding and abetting or for being in charge of aiding and abetting corruption, mismanagement, lies, embezzlement and total disregard of the cries, voices and yearnings of the masses, turning Nigeria from a land of abundance to a land of gross hopelessness .

Since their is no structure of Checks and Balances strongly embedded in our constitution or even where it is embedded, i strongly reject every one of them to be president of that great country because they are all obstacles to the efficient execution of the constitution to provide the system of Checks and balances needed for the greater benefits of the whole masses.

We the masses must take control of our lives into our hands by arresting this criminals and making sure that they all pay for the pains of our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and children and also remind them that this country is ours and far more greater than any one person or group of persons.
We need a socialist Nigeria now. The masses must take control of their land now.

NIGERIA; NAIJA UNA STILL DEY SLEEP?
WE DON SLEEP TOO MUCH O
HOW LONG ;  HOW LONG ; SUFFERING AND SMILING

I am impressed by the near to objective write up of chxta´s but not convinced by the intentions of Israel and the United States. I am also not satisfied by the comments of some of my fellow brothers and sisters as regards their views or opinions, but anyway it is their own personal view and i know that it is based on their own kknowledge of the whole issues that are iinvolved.

The conflict between Lebanon or should i say hezbollah on one and Israel on the other hand is not a conflict of today but a conflict that always have been in the whole of the middle east region.
As much as i do not support terrorist activities, so also i do not support the painful issue of occupation, oppression and domination.
The whole of the middle east is in crises today because the intentions of the so called super powers are criminal,unjust and imperialistic adopting the tactics of spreading democracy and human rigths to conver their real aims and objectives and by so doing denying the people of the middle east the freedom to make the desired changes by their own selves.
Democracy must come from within and not from the outside.No matter bad a government is, and no matter how hopeless the people are on whom this government assumes to be leading, the change must come from within the people themselves. Anything short of this, always creates a danger of imposing the whims and caprices of outsiders to the daily lives of men and women living in a sovereignland. And sooner or later, the after effects is far more devastating than the outcome that would have been experienced in the case of a bad government.

Let us don´t forget the issue of Palestine and Israel, the senseless killing and shedding of blood between those countries all bores down to the broader issue of occupation and domination.The land from the Gaza strip to the west Bank, at least to me belongs to the Palestine people, and until every inch of land taken from the Palestine territory are returned to them ,there will never be peace. Peace will be a mirage in this region until the right thing is done.

Today, at least to the undiscerning mind, the United States and other imperialistic powers are seen as promoters of peace in the whole world affair. But to the discerning and logical minds, they are nothing near to that but promoters of conflict and confusion in the world for the benefit of their own selfish interests.

I will continue with my opinion about the conflicts in the middle east next time due to time constraint.
So until then, i wish that my fellow brothers and sisters should look beyond the ordinary circumstances to understand what is happening not only to the middle east but our world in general.
Greetings and remain focused.
