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.
