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 />

Ofiakhara has just arrived Benin.She flew in from Lagos at 4 pm.Wow! what<br /> a long journey and what stress.She had been away from Benin for 9 years.Her<br /> arrival was spiced by great fanfare.Family members and friends she had not seen<br /> for several years were at the airport to welcome her.It was well they did for<br /> Ofiakhara had done good for herself in Italy.She had built 3 4-Star Hotels in<br /> Benin-City,one petrol filling station,a gas plant and the popular Oviasu Supermaket<br /> at Sakpoba Hill.Her bank accounts were three in Nigeria.In each of these accounts<br /> she had nothing less than N100 million.She has come along way and now this is<br /> the time to savour her sweat of nine years.It has not been easy.<br /> <br /> <u>THE PERILOUS JOURNEY TO EUROPE</u>.<br /> It all began nine years ago  at Ikpoba Slope,Benin.<br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

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 />
