Libya:The Shame of a Nation

How did it ever happen that Libya of Muammar  Gaddafi could descend so low to sell fellow Africans into slavery in the 21st Century. Irony is that many African Heads of State have kept mute while this goes on.Why can't Nigeria flexmits muscle this time around and deal the Libyans a deadly bow,or must we also be subservient to Arabs in our Northern borders.<br /> Get all nationals out of Libya fast ,improve conditions st home to discourage the mass exodus of unemployed youths heading to Europe on economic exile.

US GOVERMENT SINGS FELA"S SONG "YOU BE THIEF".TINUBU RESPONDS

The internationally acclaimed Nigerian musician Fela once sang<br /> a song,whose lyrics go like this:<br /> You be thief<br /> i no be thief<br /> you deh steal<br /> i no deh steal<br /> you be robber<br /> i no be robber<br /> you be armu robber<br /> i no be armu robber<br /> arguement lalalal<br /> For those who are familiar with the song,recall that a petty thief was pursued<br /> by a motley crowd.The thief pleaded his innocence but the mob was not ready<br /> to hear any of that and thereafter proceeded to unleash jungle justice on the petty<br /> thief.The lesson of the song is why leave the big thieves in government and mete<br /> punishment on the poor and hungry.<br />    The Americans have declared that IPOB in their view is not a terrorist<br /> Organization.The Nigerian government insists otherwise.The US Government<br /> recently sold sophisticated hardware to the Nigerian government to help in the<br /> fight against terrorism.What is the missing link here?<br /> Tinubu a political King maker has also called on the Federal government<br /> to humble itself and listen to various agitations from various parts of the country.<br /> .He said that the present agitations must not be waived away as a storm in a teapot<br /> as it may well turn out to be a storm that may sweep the teapot away into oblivion.<br /> Why can"t  those who wield transient power read the hand writing on the wall?<br />    While the rest of the world is researching on  areas of science and technology<br /> that would benefit mankind such as robotics,AI or Artificial Intelligence,Space<br /> Research,Biotechs,Humanoids and many others we are here doing all kinds of<br /> primitive dances and gagging popular dissent.More is better than less..Nigeria has<br /> continued to fail the blackman .We should have been ahead of Malaysia,Indonesia,South<br /> Korea and many other countries.Now even North Korea can threaten America.<br /> Who can we threaten with our military prowess but our own citizens.This is not<br /> good enough.Let us sit and talk.What is so very difficult about this?Let us do so<br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzkskT6iS_LzmalaNBMs3ZDxNOmuP2T6cIicotZKyRIW6X5wTaqhqCNJ9GDURNtdQ4Pg-qiylDB0rpU6Ff6hyphenhyphen9uMruRaG7JS5DIdrwzETLhyphenhyphenrcqrjWRa3ihPoGfyD7EQBYj5A56HIn-MBx/s1600/bola-ahmed-tinubu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="412" height="194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzkskT6iS_LzmalaNBMs3ZDxNOmuP2T6cIicotZKyRIW6X5wTaqhqCNJ9GDURNtdQ4Pg-qiylDB0rpU6Ff6hyphenhyphen9uMruRaG7JS5DIdrwzETLhyphenhyphenrcqrjWRa3ihPoGfyD7EQBYj5A56HIn-MBx/s320/bola-ahmed-tinubu.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">BOLA TINUBU</td></tr> </tbody></table> now that the window of opportunity for it is still open.<br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiesxPM7JoAdgjWNnTt8QTwuYdBezkH1Ru3HoPKVnqbpUvFi4jalAZd2cachZOBkDk7shzwGzZgcMOsBKVtXmlVMzNMiMQqHgS6p_A4e0SKnifNipAp_b9Vda5nyS46MjgWvW8B70huaQP/s1600/images_002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="182" data-original-width="277" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiesxPM7JoAdgjWNnTt8QTwuYdBezkH1Ru3HoPKVnqbpUvFi4jalAZd2cachZOBkDk7shzwGzZgcMOsBKVtXmlVMzNMiMQqHgS6p_A4e0SKnifNipAp_b9Vda5nyS46MjgWvW8B70huaQP/s1600/images_002.jpg" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">THE WHITE HOUSE</td></tr> </tbody></table> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvyHLVw62tEdV2VZWU7aHZxpDNnycosh8z3j8AYMvp0Vt7CDzQT8cZ6SLoWInZZ0ueewPxmYyoF4jBgk7Ippj4Y7b-TED3wtHLwmR_OJGWfDPeOCDortoIECUqTDnWEKKXhNIcjkwzMY27/s1600/images_003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvyHLVw62tEdV2VZWU7aHZxpDNnycosh8z3j8AYMvp0Vt7CDzQT8cZ6SLoWInZZ0ueewPxmYyoF4jBgk7Ippj4Y7b-TED3wtHLwmR_OJGWfDPeOCDortoIECUqTDnWEKKXhNIcjkwzMY27/s1600/images_003.jpg" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A ROBOT READING</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <br /> <br />

OPERATION CROCODILE 2 ENTERS SOUTH WEST TO FIGHT CRIME.POLICE ON STAND BY

OPERATION THIS AND THAT IS NOW THE VOGUE IN NIGERIA<br /> <br /> It was Operation 'Crocodile Smile" in the South South several months back<br /> while Operation Lafiya Dole was still handling the intractable Boko Haram<br /> insurgency in the North West.Lafiya Dole translated loosely means "Peace<br /> is our goal"or Peace is Certain.On the other hand a crocodile while<br /> devouring its prey cries non-stop,hence the saying which means hypocrisy.<br /> If the cry of the crocodile implies hypocrisy,one imagines what its smile<br /> would entail.<br />    Meanwhile in the South East Operation Python Dance is in full throttle.<br /> The Air Force has joined the fray,doing acrobatics at low levels to the<br /> consternation of the people.Some are saying that the fighter jets in use are<br /> obsolete.Russian war planes last used more than 30 years ago whose parts<br /> are no longer available.Some claim Innosson Motors Nnewi,Anambra State<br /> helped them to fabricate the parts to help them put the jets including the Alpha<br /> ones in air.We pray that the Navy should join with their warships too so they<br /> can patrol Uvom brook,Iyinta/Okpo Rivers.Information has it that some naughty<br /> boys dressed in Biafran Navy Uniforms were seen at these locations recently.<br /> It will not be a bad idea to teach them a good lesson by shelling them from there.<br />    The Koko of the matter as we say in Nigeria has to do with the recent launch<br /> of "Operation Crocodile Smile 2" in the South West.Political Leaders in the Zone<br /> are crying blue murder.They are asking why bring in the military to fight Badoo<br /> cult group or fight kidnappers when the Police can easily do the job.One of the leaders<br /> even claimed that it was the Police with superior intelligence that arrested the notorious<br /> Kidnapper Evans.So why bring in the military to fight crime.<br /> It is only when civil authorities are overwhelmed that the military are invited to<br /> take over in a proper taking/handing over process.Now the job of the Police is<br /> being eroded while the Police looks the other way.The Police lost the gains it<br /> made during the Shagari Regime soon after the military struck.All the Vehicles<br /> that were used for anti riot like water canon ones were seized on the orders of the<br /> military Ruler then.The Police is yet to recover from that military adventure of<br /> yester years.<br />   The Operations would go round and we shall know the result soon.Our fingers<br /> are crossed.

NKEMJIKA RUNS FROM UMUAHIA TO OWERRI FOR PYTHON

Nkemjika is on the run.He has been since last week.A big python danced<br /> in front of his father"s compound and disaster struck.No one could believe<br /> that out of the belly of the python that deadly weapons as seen in places like Gaza,<br /> Golan Heights,Medelin in Columbia and other far places could be vomited.<br /> There were howitzers,M76 Tanks,F16 jets,the latest  American version of Armoured<br /> Personnel Carriers on display.Nkemjika saw all these on foot and fled.A kid<br /> who just turned nineteen.His heart nearly cut when he witnessed the acrobatic<br /> display of two fighter jets over Orie Ugba.That was the last straw.<br />     On first light this morning,he left for Owerri on foot through an Obowo<br /> village in Abia.He tried as much as possible to avoid soldiers and policemen<br /> who are swarming over the whole Abia like bees.It was a sorry sight to<br /> behold Nkem,as he gathered his few belongings,properly wrapped in a rafia<br /> mat as he set for Owerri.He vowed ,he would not hit any major road especially<br /> the main Umuahia-Owerri link road.Fear still gripped him as his best friend had<br /> been shot a few days earlier for dressing in a mult-icoloured T shirt of black,green and red sent to him<br /> by a cousin who lives in Malaysia.What has the world come to?Owerri here i come<br /> was his refrain as he trekked on,unknown to him that there was danger lurking at the<br /> Imo River crossing not too far from Ekenobizi.A soldier had gone into the bush to<br /> relieve himself.He had dropped his AK 47 Rifle in the process.Nkem saw the rifle<br /> before he saw Musa.He made a quick retreat but it was too late.Musa whose human<br /> waste was as big as a football pulled his trouser on and commenced the pursuit of Nkem.<br /> Nkem ran for his life and dodged many bullets.He got a respite when Musa got<br /> entangled with a small poisonous snake that bit his behind as he fell.He had started<br /> foaming in the mouth when Nkem made good his escape.The villagers of Nkanta are<br /> apprensive.They fear a reprisal from the military boys.The Community has suggested<br /> that the Soldier in distress be taken to the hospital and his weapon returned to Army<br /> authorities.Musa has but an hour and half to live.Youths in the area are opposed to<br /> the suggestion of the president General of Nkanta.Nkem is out of danger and is<br /> determined to arrive Owerri before the sun begins to set.<br /> <br />

OJUKWU BUNKER,IPOB AND FIRE IN UMUAHIA.WHAT NEXT?

Umuahia is the Capital of Abia State,Nigeria.It is also the home state of<br /> Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB.Abia is an oil producing state and part of the Niger Delta<br /> politcal arrangement somewhat.It is supposed to be rich,but is poor.Not poor<br /> in human capital but poor in managing its resources due to political brigandage,<br /> godfatherism,empowerment of agberos and men of shady character in positions<br /> of power.Salaries of workers may be withheld  for upwards of 7 months while<br /> the powerful and "mighty,in their own eyes"gallivant and are always on"tour"<br /> to the world"s major capitals in search of "investors".Investor ko,Aviator ni as our<br /> Yoruba compatriots would say.Do not ask me where the foreign investors are.<br /> Ask Governor Ikpeazu.Poverty is pervasive in the State.Youths are restive,<br /> idle and are veritable tools available for use if the price or ideology is right.The<br /> biggest industry in the State is Keke business.Almost everybody is into it.<br /> Keke or the tricycle is the king of the Road in Abia.Articulated or trailer<br /> vehicles make way for them.It is as interesting as that.That is Umuahia<br /> and by extension Abia State for you.<br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

IPOB,NNAMDI KANU AND INCREASED POLICE/MILITARY DEPLOYMENT IN S/E AND S/S

That there has been a recent massive deployment of  more police and military<br /> personnel to the South East and South South geopolitcal zones in Nigeria is no longer<br /> news.Rumours have been flying around that the storming of the two zones has to do<br /> with the plan to re-arrest the IPOB leader in the person of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.It is<br /> said that security forces have vowed never to allow him escape when the order to<br /> effect his arrest is finally issued.The Police have refused to confirm this but stated that<br /> the new deployments was to further enhance security in the two zones.<br />    On its part the IPOB leader has dared them to arrest him.He warned that Nigeria will<br /> burn if they do.A former Aviation Minister,Femi Fani Kayode,a well known critic of<br /> the Govrrnment has cautioned against opening another theatre of conflict since we<br /> still have Boko Haram to contend with.Since Nnamdi Kanu is not backing down soon<br /> in his quest to pursue the realization of Biafra,and the government is set to crack down on<br /> him and his group,it appears most likely that the days ahead would be action packed<br /> as the uneasy calm that is prevailing in the two zones more especially in the South East<br /> would most probably be shattered.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMzKL1dzwEFnnVwEI8EfbawzwAyLSGegeKmT88aHODigVIo0rJV96VpJuNbDK_afPPlqDFDe51ZvD6t8U8GJutW9JcVbQCLIUGcBdngv9xzJ8BsWduITWOeNTpcRIENRBnAFGIL_84yAJH/s1600/images_003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="164" data-original-width="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMzKL1dzwEFnnVwEI8EfbawzwAyLSGegeKmT88aHODigVIo0rJV96VpJuNbDK_afPPlqDFDe51ZvD6t8U8GJutW9JcVbQCLIUGcBdngv9xzJ8BsWduITWOeNTpcRIENRBnAFGIL_84yAJH/s1600/images_003.jpg" /></a></div> A meeting held recently in Enugu between the IPOB and South East Governors did not achieve much<br /> in persuading Kanu to drop his agitation.Kanu set up what he called a Biafra Security Service which<br /> angered the Nigerian Govenment and many are calling for his head{see photo above}.As the battle of wits rages on people are watching on who will blink first.This is a real security situation that must be deftly handled by all concerned.<br /> <br />

IPOB DENIES ARMING ITS SECURITY OFFICIALS.COL UMAR WARNS BUHARI.

The Indigenous Peoples of Biafra have stated emphatically that they are neither an armed outfit nor a group that has any intention of using arms in the pursuit of its legitimate demands for Self Determination for the people of Biafra.This was stated yesterday in Enugu by an official of the IPOB after its leader,Nnamdi Kanu  met with Governors of the South East in Enugu. The meeting was called to rub minds with the IPOB Leader to seek common grounds for cooperation with the governments of the Zone.The communiqué issued at the meeting stated that more meetings are to be held with the group as a continued dialogue to lesson tension.Also in attendance at the meeting was Professor Ben Nwabueze,a renowned constitutional lawyer who was in the IPOB contingent.<br />   Meanwhile, Col Abubakar Umar ,a former Governor of Kaduna State and a staunch Babangida loyalist has warned President Buhari not to re- arrest Nnamdi Kanu  in order not to set the country ablaze.Some well meaning Nigerians have recalled how the high handedness on the part of government led to the radicalization of the Boko Haram sect which the government is still battling for over 5 years with attendant losses in men and materials running into several billion naira.<br /> The question on many lips from interviews held is whether the IPOB Boys will continue to pursue their objectives by peaceful demonstrations if their leader is arrested a second time.The situation is being closely watched.<br /> <br />

BISHOP OF OZUBULU,DEATH IN CHURCH,DRUGS AND SOUTH AFRICAN CONNECTION

 A couple of weeks ago,the world was jolted by the gangster style killing of 13 worshippers at the Saint Philip's Church ,Amukwa ,Ozubulu.At the centre of the controversy surrounding the crime was one High Chief Aloysius Ikegwuonu alias Ebubechukwuzo.On the very day the killings took place,The Anambra State Governor and the Commissioner of Police of the State visited the scene of crime where the Governor emphatically pronounced that the crime was committed by some folks from the town who had misunderstandings over some business transactions in South Africa.The Police was alleged to have been of the same view.<br />   Now tongues are wagging. The said Bishop has been in<br /> Ozubulu for 2 good weeks and his arrest had not been effected.The social media was awash with innuendos and conjectures linking the said Bishop with drug running and mafia style executions in South Africa.Some others alleged that terrorist herdsmen from God knows where were responsible. Bishop has granted series of interviews from his home in Ozubulu and moves around as a free man.People are raising eyebrows. It would be interesting to take a peep into the interim or final police report on the matter.<br /> We demand that the Governor must as the Chief Security Officer of Anambra State come out clean and hold a press conference stating in clear details the conclusive result of the investigation. He must bear in mind that he will be going to the polls in November to ask the people to retain him for another term.<br /> We on this platform are watching closely.We also hope that nobody is hiding the truth from the people. What language did the hit men speak while carrying out the executions.Were they elements from some notorious itinerant killers?Does the killing have a religious undertone?Is there a grand design to cow the people in Anambra and by extension the people of the zone?These questions and more must be answered and fast too in order to lay this matter to rest.We shall have an update soon on the same matter.

DEARTH OF CCTV CAMERAS IN NIGERIA.UNTAPPED AREA FOR INVESTMENT IN NIGERIA

Nigeria appears to be jinxed when it comes to the provision of security cameras in our cities.In the Federal Capital City of Abuja the Chinese were awarded a contract worth several million dollars a few years ago. The project became a monumental failure due to corruption and other factors.Most of the installed cameras and their accessories have been vandalised. The story is no better in our former capital of Lagos.The police are hamstrung in apprehending criminals and checking the excesses of drivers who drive like they are are on a suicide mission.<br />   It would not be a bad idea to have foreign companies who are reputable and can deliver  functional TV monitors in major cities like Abuja,Lagos,Port Harcourt, Kaduna ,Enugu,Kano,Ibadan,Maiduguri (the hot bed of Boko  Haram terrorists),Aba,Onitsha,Benin and about 10 other major cities in Nigeria.<br />    We are looking at interested companies that can set these up,operate them and recoup their investments within 24 months with mind boggling profits. Any company that can show some level of seriousness by investing initially to get a working system can be rest assured of reaping tremendous benefits. The case of Julius Berger,a civil engineering firm from Germany is a case in point.JB came to Nigeria as an obscure company many years ago and is now a Giant in the West African sub region.<br />    As a Police Chief in Kwara State of Nigeria, we did a pilot project on this with the Governor then Bukola Saraki,who is the current Senate President of Nigeria. He is a gentleman who will welcome such investors to this country.<br />     Responses from interested Companies are welcome.

THE BEGINNING OR THE END FOR BIAFRA OR NIGERIA?

<u>A PEEP INTO THE FUTURE OF A NATION</u>.<br /> <br /> Nigerians did not observe the solar eclipse of last Sunday.The CNN<br /> gave the world a running commentary of the event from its commencement<br /> in Oregon to its finale in Southern Carolina.Even as Nigeria did not observe<br /> the eclipse,another eclipse that will crisscross Nigeria and of a different hue<br /> is in the making.It is a political eclipse of free speech as seen by many democrats in<br /> Nigeria.It may or may not be as bad as the turn of events portray.Check this out.<br />      From henceforth in Nigeria the following areas are sacred and are no go areas.<br /> <br /> 1. Call for Self Determination by any Persons or Groups.<br /> 2.Any speech adjudged by the authorities to be a hate speech.<br /> 3.Any article or post on Social Media that are offensive to Government.<br /> 4.Any Group that decides to wear uniforms as a quasi security outfit.<br /> <br /> These are some of the areas covered and the idea has been muted to ban the<br /> explosive use of the Social Media in the country.<br />       Tongues are wagging and people are asking when this eclipse would pass<br /> the Nigerian Space into the vacous space of the Cosmos that is infinite.<br /> Clamp downs like this tend to clog the wheel that drives democratic tenets.<br /> Let all ideas be allowed to flow freely in cyberspace.Suppresing freedom of<br /> expression may very well radicalize many groups and affect the management<br /> of the attendant volatile security issues that may surface.<br />    Let all opinions flow minus hate speech and let the government distill them<br /> and use the filtered genuine expressions of the people to set agendas for good<br /> governance,Do not kill free speech in Nigeria.Contrary views are welcome.

AKATAKA---THE BIAFRAN WITH A NIGERIAN HEART AND THE DISPOSITION OF AN AMERICAN

<u>THE DILEMA OF  A CONFUSED COUNTRYMAN</u><br /> <br /> Akataka is a confused citizen.He still finds it difficult to place his<br /> identity in Nigeria.He was born fifteen years before the civil war in<br /> Nigeria.As a young man he witnessed the destruction and carnage that the <br /> war brought in the territory named Biafra.He suffered so much deprivation.<br /> Hunger and disease were his close companions as the war raged on.He thanked<br /> Providence when hostilities ceased as the Biafrans capitulated.The human tragedy<br /> that was the war was declared over.Life returned to normalcy and he was able to<br /> go back to High School in 1970.<br />     By 1973, Akataka left for the United States.He gained admission to study<br /> Physics at the prestigious MIT in Boston.He graduated magna cum laude and later<br /> made it summa cum laude in nuclear physics from the same university.<br />      He visited home on a regular basis even though he worked for a jet propulsion<br /> laboratory and at a nuclear power complex somewhere in the Nevada Desert.The visits<br /> stopped in 2009 when he got fed up with conditions at home,especially the desire of many<br /> young people from his area to flee abroad in search of greener pastures.He felt that the country had<br /> failed the youth but still believed the situation could be remedied with some tinkering of the prevailing political structure and great leadership.To his chagrin this was not to be.He decided<br /> to place the issues of Nigeria in the dark recesses of his brain.This attitude of living in denial was<br /> not to last for too long because of the activities of a young upstart named Nnamdi who was running<br /> a kind of pirate radio from the UK.He was amazed at the one they called a rabble rouser who was<br /> bombarding the airwaves with facts and figures on Nigeria.Some of the messages were mere  propaganda,some were laced with innuendos and seeming hatred towards some individuals and ethnic groups in Nigeria.The language used for the broadcasts were mostly uncouth but he was hit by some of the home truths therein.He had been sucked in but yet maintained a level head as a rational<br /> and analytical scientist.He felt that Nnamdi had gone too far,that Biafra in Nigeria was a better option<br /> than separation.He believed in the restructuring of the Polity for a better Nigeria.He received a rude shock when many respected individula in the country vowed never to let that materialize.<br />       Akataka is now in Nigeria on a visit.He is so much in love with the diversity and the blend <br /> of multi ethnic groups in the country.He was in his community yesterday.He tried to address some IPOB youths on the need to tread with caution and  was nearly stoned.He is confused now and<br /> on his way to New York enroute Lagos.His mind is running riot.He does not know on what side of the divide he should belong as the National Assembly says no to restructuring.He sought my advice.<br /> Who can assist me advise him?
