Politics / The Song Before The Genocide by wabbyland(m): 9:51pm On Aug 08, 2017
The Song Before The
Genocide By
Emmanuel Ugwu


The song is a sincere hate
memo. It is tribal character
assassination conceived as
a preface to actual physical
slaughter. When a group of Northern youths
gathered in Arewa House, Kaduna
and issued a ‘quit notice’ to all
Igbos resident in the Northern
Nigeria from that symbolic bastion
of Arewaland, I hastened to clarify
that "It’s A Genocide Notice, Not A
Quit Notice." My reading of that
thinly veiled threat of pogrom has
proved to be accurate. A hate
song advocating for the urgent
extermination of the Igbo race is
currently a hit single in the North.
The genocidal anthem is a product
of calculated penmanship. It’s an
apologia for ethnic cleansing. An
Igbophobic manifesto, complete
with ‘reasons’ why the ‘Inyamirin’
should be wiped off the land.
The song, which was recorded by
an unknown banshee, starts with
an atrocious prayer to ‘Allah’ for
message discipline: "First I want to
appeal to Allah to help me in this
song not to deviate…" The rest of
the ‘song’ promoted the need for
Igbo-bashing: it denied the
humanity of the Igbo people, found
them collectively guilty of fictional
crimes and sentenced them to
communal death.
The song declared all people of
Igbo roots "ungrateful people and
fools;" "a curse to Nigeria;" folks
"whose existence and birth as a
people in Nigeria is useless;’’ a
tribe of "bastards" whose abortion
would have blessed the earth more
than their birth.
The song further indulges in fake
history, lying that "in the
beginning" Igbos had no name and
identity and that "they have
nothing since their origin." It
claims that "Igbos are the ones
that ruined this country." Igbos are
the vampires masquerading as
bloodthirsty Fulani herdsmen and
Boko Haram terrorists, "killing
people without shame." Igbos are
"the ones destroying our youths
and children with drugs."
From start to finish, the song
scapegoats Igbo people. The theme
is generalized demonization. All
Igbos are inherently evil. No Igbo
person is deserving of earthly
existence or human tolerance.
The song is a sincere hate memo.
It is tribal character assassination
conceived as a preface to actual
physical slaughter. The goal of the
song is to stir the macabre dance
of an Igbo massacre.
Those who scorned the "Kaduna
Declaration" as the
inconsequential bluster of some
jobless attention seekers must now
pause and recognize the Nazist
tone of the musical spin-off from
that "quit notice."
The blanket inquisition of the Igbo
people and their judgment were
spelled out in black and white. The
hate verse was vocalized in Hausa
and performed in the song form.
The adoption of the sound of music
was meant to spread the contagion
to ubiquity.
The song is a programming
language. Its purpose is to
condition the mind of the Hausas
and ready them to a manifest a
rabid Pavlovian response. The
intent is to raise the level of
appropriacy of Igbo killing in the
North so that when the set time
comes, the murder of the
‘Inyamirin’ will be instinctual and
automatic.
The use of the song medium was to
engender a climate conducive for
the butchery of the Igbos. The
function of the song is to
popularize an Igbo version of
antisemitism. To build a
groundswell of race-specific rage
that can only be satiated with
copious blood from a Holocaust-
grade purge.
This corruption of the song genre
must worry all good men. Hate
speech traveling on the wings of
melody promises exponential
bloodbath. Hate speech shaped as
a song will fulfill violence on
steroids.
A song is hypnotic in effect. It
attaches itself to the heart and
mind more easily than the spoken
word. It is a more enduring state
of propaganda.
The mind-bending anthem topping
the chart in the North is not a
fleeting fad: it will not fade into
oblivion. It is a recipe for carnage:
it will demagogue Northerners into
a fetish of killing that is more
frenzied than the anti-Igbo
slaughters triggered by a
cartoon and a column.
The North is the less literate half
of Nigeria. It is home to a majority
of Nigeria’s out of school children.
The streets of the North teem
with 9.5 million abandoned kids
and teens. They are an
impressionable and excitable
legion, ready to generate hell on
cue.
It’s only a matter of time before
the unquestioning Almajiri army
memorizes that song. At the right
prompting, the maddening
falsehood lodged in their heads
will drive them to give full
expression to the song. And the
mass murder of the Igbo people
will yield orgasmic entertainment
for the hungry, disillusioned foot
soldiers.
The unleashing of the song
followed the reiteration of the
"quit notice" by the leaders of
Northern youths. This indicates
that there is an orderly plot.
There's method in the madness.
Sadly, the Nigerian state is part of
the bid to enact the sequel to
1966 anti-Igbo pogrom. The federal
government and security agencies
have declined to take proactive
steps to avert the scheduled doom.
The authorities and law
enforcement have only helped to
prepare the stage for the
impending disaster.
The Nigerian Police announced the
commencement of a manhunt for
the publishers of the ‘"quit
notice." But it almost immediately
begged off the search in the most
shameful instance of cowardly
surrender of power by a federal
police. Even after the miscreants
started a circus tour and dared the
police to arrest them , the Nigerian
Police did nothing.
Acting President Yemi Osibanjo
chose to address the threat to
commit crimes against humanity
with parleys of appeasement . The
pastor asked the threatening party
to repent. And he begged the
threatened not to take the
genocidal vow seriously.
As the October 1 deadline
approaches, the Igbos in the North
must disregard any hollow
guarantee of safety issued by the
government. They must appreciate
their vulnerability in a region that
habitually sheds Igbo blood to no
consequence. They must respect
the meanness of the misanthropes
who detest their existence.
Commonsense advises that Igbo
settlers in the North should flee for
the sake of their own lives. A
foreordained war does not
consume the lame. The ocean
cannot drown a man who is far
away from the waters.

Sports / Henrique Raposo The Striker Who Scored Just 1 Goal In His 24 Years Career by wabbyland(m): 12:57pm On Jul 29, 2017
The likes of Rogério Ceni, José Luis Chilavert, Jorge Campos and Vincent Enyeama are known to be good at both ends of the goal posts. They prevent goals from coming in and could also put the ball in the net for the teams, these guys are not expected to score goals but they add that to their games. But for Carlos Henrique Raposo whose primary role as a striker is to score goals to score just a goal having played for nine different teams across the 24 years career of his career is baffling considering his tally is way below Ceni, Chilavert, Campos and Enyeama’s who scored 131, 67, 46 and 20 respectively. Raposo apparently was referred to as ‘Farce footballer’ for the role he played in club hopping by faking injuries. According to wikipedia, he became friends with many footballers such as Carlos Alberto Torres, Ricardo Rocha and Renato Gaúcho so that he could have a big network to be recommended whenever he needed a new club. With a physical shape similar to professional footballers, but lacking skills, his fraud consisted of signing a short contract and stating that he was lacking match fitness so that he would spend the first weeks only with physical training where he could shine. At the time he went to train with other players, he would feign a hamstring injury and, by the lack of technology at the time, it was difficult to discover that it was a fake injury. So with few appearances came with zero goals since he never actually needed them to prove he can play for any club.

Pets / The Most Dangerous Species On The Planet by wabbyland(m): 4:57pm On Jul 10, 2017
The Earth is home to many
creatures, some are cute,
whereas others are not.
Many animals are pretty
scary, read on find out
which species are the most
dangerous in the world.


1. Deathstalker
Scorpions are feared by
many humans, and the
Deathstalker is probably
one of the most dangerous
types. Found in the Middle
East and North Africa,
although its venom would
be highly dangerous and
extremely painful, it would
not kill a healthy human
being. However, if a child
is stung the venom is
much more powerful and
could kill. The Deathstalker
is yellow in color which
may mean that it is more
difficult to find while out
in the wild.

2.Portuguese Man
O’ War

The Portuguese Man O’ War
is mainly found in the
Atlantic Ocean. The animal
lives on the surface of the
water and moves according
to the tidal waves. Many
people recognize the
animal as a jellyfish,
however in reality the
Portuguese Man O’ War is
much more dangerous. If
you are stung by one of
these creatures, the
symptoms can include fever
as well as shock. In order
to counteract the
symptoms, pouring salt
water over the site of the
sting can really help.

3. Great White
Shark
The relationship between
Great White Sharks and
humans is a complicated
one. Humans have been
attacked by this animal
more than any other in the
world. The huge marine
mammal is found in nearly
every ocean on the planet.
The Great White Shark can
live to over 70 years old,
with marine biologists
estimating that they are
the longest lived fish.
However, many are
concerned that the Great
White Shark is going
extinct, for their numbers
have been on the decline
since the 1970s.

4. Cape Buffalo

The Cape Buffalo, which
also known as the African
Buffalo, is found in
Southern and Eastern
Africa. They are extremely
dangerous due to their
erratic and unpredictable
nature. Many estimate that
they attack around 200
people every year. These
buffalo live in a herd, and
are widely recognized for
their horns. The animal is
closely related to the Water
Buffalo and is six feet long
and weigh nearly a ton.
The buffalo is also well
renowned for being a
fantastic hunter.

5. Giant Pacific
Octopus

The Giant Pacific Octopus
in one of the largest
octopuses on the planet.
Like all octopus, the Giant
Pacific Octopus has 8 arms.
In case you did not know,
‘octa’ means eight. Each of
the animal’s arms is lined
with two rows of suckers.
The octopus captures its
prey with its suckers which6
are lined with hooks. The
creature’s mouth contains
a beak and tongue with
teeth on it. Lucky for us,
they are not known for
eating humans but do feed
on tiny sharks.

6. Cone Snail

Even though the Cone
Snail is wrapped in a
beautiful shell, do not
touch it if you see one!
These adorable but deadly
animals can be found in
warm shallow waters near
the equator. The snail has
harpoon-like teeth that can
bite anything that touches
it. Once bitten, the snails
release a venom called
conotoxin. The toxin can do
serious damage to your
nerve cells and can even
cause paralysis.
Unfortunately, there is no
antivenin on the markets
yet.
