Tinubu’s cross

“Corruption is paid by the poor”—Pope Francis I have been teaching post graduate students Public Policy and Governance for the last few years.

Tinubu, Nigeria And Igbo Glitch (2)

Do not forget quickly that we started this conversation by arguing with facts that the Great Zik of Africa and Nigeria’s all time legendary political evangelist, was the most beautiful, attractive and colorful political machine ever manufactured by the Igbo country and by extension, Nigeria. Even Zik himself confirmed this fact when he said “I […]

Tinubu, Nigeria and Igbo glitch(4)

It is an indisputable fact that Zik was the cornerstone upon which Nigeria’s independence was built and established. Achebe even indicated that “The father of African independence was Nnamdi Azikiwe”. “Zik brought new ideas to Nigeria’s independence struggle”, Awo declared. Adamu Ciroma said this about Zik, “He was different from other politicians of his age […]

Tinubu, Nigeria and Igbo glitch (3)

Obviously, the first sign of acute malady in Zik’s idea of One Nigeria was the December 12, 1959 parliamentary elections, staged by the exiting British colonial masters to usher in independence – a new Nigeria. In the elections, the North refused to change the name of its party from Northern People’s Congress, NPC, to Nigerian […]

US Next Steps on China

G7 Running on Empty The G7 is in a limbo. Right now, the G7 is all about US asserting control of the other six to follow a full anti-China line. The rest of the World won’t care about G7 until the US can start a big move to “unify the world” against China. The US […]

The US Plan for China

Shoe-Horning US Allies into “De-Risking” Sanctions! Officially, it is ”acknowledged” by the US and the EU that it is “not possible” to decouple China. Neocons don’t think so. It may be costly to decouple China, but definitely not impossible. And Neocons don’t care about heavy costs, not even for their own Western societies. That is […]

Fuel Subsidy And The God of Jonathan

One of the first things that had been cited as evidence of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu showing courage and wisdom and hitting the ground running as the 16th President of Nigeria, has been his announcement that “fuel subsidy is gone”. In his inaugural speech on May 29, 2023, he did not state how but within […]

Why and how the African child is miseducated in the western educational system. Full article

I would like to make an attempt to explain to our community and particularly to young parents why and how the African child has been systematically mis-educated in the western world during the last 500 years, so that they can better understand the root causes of some of the aberrations and self destructive forms of […]

Why and how the African child is miseducated in the western educational system. Part 5

We don’t behave like them because Europeans did not tamper with their normal behaviour patterns in order to subjugate them and use them to further Western interests. How do you think they were able to conquer Africa and bring us to the West to be their servants so that most of us today only want […]

Why and how the African child is miseducated in the western educational system. Part 4

The real tragedy is that this distorted African story that generations of black children were forced to memorize, continue to be taken literally by millions of African people around the globe, who have spent their entire lives waiting for this ancient Superman named Jesus Christ to burst through the clouds and deliver them from evildoers. […]

Why and how the African child is miseducated in the western educational system. Part 3

In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about the end of western civilization and we have all heard conservative and right wing politicians in the West lamenting the loss of western values. But what is Western civilization? What exactly are Western values? If you have travelled across Europe as I have, you […]

Why and how the African child is miseducated in the western educational system. Part 2

Now that we know that African people were brought to the West exclusively to work and serve whites, and not to “live in peace and harmony” with them, where did the rationale behind the education of black children come from? After Europeans had succeeded in making our ancestors almost as ignorant as the animals they […]

Still In The Forest of The Heartless

Monday Lines It was quite nice seeing President Bola Tinubu as he waltzed into the chambers where he met security chiefs last Thursday. “Morning,” he greets the chiefs. “Shall we sit or…” They murmur. His gaze is fixed on his guests. What are they saying? “Eh?” He asks; they murmur. “We just sit?” The president […]

The Igbos Are Under Siege In Their Country

I am shocked that the Igbos are not speaking up at the apparent siege laid on their land by uniformed person of different categories. They range from Army, Navy, Police, Civil Defence, Customs, FRSC, etc. My journey had taken me by road from Isele-Mkpitime, where I had gone to pay tribute to a Nigerian icon, […]

Tinubu, Nigeria and Igbo glitch (1)

I still insist that the Great Zik of Africa and Nigeria’s all time legendary political evangelist, still remains the most visionary leader/ politician ever to have emerged from the Igbo country. Nigeria’s sociopolitical, cultural as well as sports and even economic revolution had their sparkle the moment Zik returned to Nigeria from Ghana in 1937. […]

Study shows men have been peeing wrong; they ought to sit and not stand

New research suggests that men should sit down to urinate rather than stand up.

No New Lies only New Fools.

On the fraud called fuel subsidy removal, this was what the renowned professor of economics said during Obasanjo regime: Prof Sam Aluko RIP:I was in Iraq before Hussein was killed by the Americans. Every Friday, Hussein will say ‘this oil is a natural resource from God, it is a God’s gift and we are making […]

President Tinubu And Dangers Of Subsidy Removal

It’s either President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his inner circle didn’t read my April 29 column titled “Six Agenda Items for Tinubu’s Success” or they did but dismissed it as the impractical, high-flown, indulgent musings of an idealistic diasporan Nigerian. The fifth item on my list concerned petrol price hikes amid the current agonizingly biting […]

Kissinger Explains How to Avoid a Third World War

Kissinger is one of the most important voices in U.S. foreign policy. He is a hardliner and undoubtedly a war criminal. He was directly involved in the 1973 coup d’état in Chile and also in the brutal Vietnam War. Therefore, he is anything but a pacifist, on the contrary. Yet, on key geostrategic issues such […]

The Insanity that Rules the West

On May 30th, Newsweek headlined “Russia ‘On Course’ for NATO Conflict, Commander Says”, and reported that Karel Rehka, the Commander of Chechia’s Armed Forces, said that, “We view war between Russia and the North Atlantic Alliance as the worst-case scenario, but it is not impossible,” Rehka said. “It is possible.” Russia, the commander added, “is currently on […]

Expectations for Nigeria’s president are so low, all he has to do is beat them

Nigerians have long harboured a robust scepticism towards their leaders. Now they have gone one better. Many doubt that the man sworn in as president this week is their leader at all. In an open letter to US president Joe Biden, Chimamanda Adichie, the feted author, spoke for millions when she cast doubt on the […]

The Ugly TRUTH about FUEL SUBSIDY in Nigeria and Tinubu’s Oil and Gas Plan

This video makes whole lot of sense. There is no way the Nigerian government can claim to be subsidizing every litre of petrol consumed in Nigeria by almost N400! The DSDP arrangement is trade by barter – NNPC sells crude oil to the designated refineries across the globe at an agreed price and gets back […]

Nigeria, Biafra and lessons of history

THE FUEL SUBSIDY PALAVA

Fuel Queues are already everywhere in Abeokuta, a direct response to President Bola Tinubu’s message yesterday. Even as at last week, most filling stations started closing up. They must have had information on what was coming and you can always trust them to exploit every situation. I dont know much about financial matters and I […]

An Epidemic of Lawlessness

Rising vigilantism in Nigeria reflects public cynicism about law enforcement and the judicial system. Last month, some students of Obafemi Awolowo Hall, a student residential hall at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, set upon one Okoli Ahinze, a final year student of the university’s Department of Civil Engineering, and beat him to death. Mr. Ahinze’s assailants had […]

Tinubu’s Turn

Up against the wall, Tinubu will need his famed political savvy—and more—to stanch rising discontent in Nigeria. Twice in the past two-and-a-half years, it had seemed all but certain that Bola Tinubu would be denied the object of all his political labors. The first time was in October 2020 when some #EndSARS protesters in […]

When Will US Join Global Call to End Ukraine War?

New Bill that Passed House Reinvokes Cold War “Russian Bogeyman” as Pretext for More U.S. Intervention in Africa

Liberal Democrats shamefully all voted for the “Countering Malign Russian Influence Activities in Africa” Act—seems like relic from bygone era During the Cold War, the U.S. government invoked the pretext of Russian interference to justify a range of crimes, including the assassination of Congolese Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba, the overthrow of Pan-Africanist hero Kwame Nkrumah, the arrest of Nelson […]

Russiagate: The Smoking Gun

Part I We are looking for two smoking guns now in connection with Russiagate.

The FBI Must be Held Accountable for Russiagate

The long awaited US Justice Department “Russiagate” report by Special Counsel John Durham exonerated President Donald Trump from false charges and performed the important public service of making law and order conservatives aware that their beloved FBI is a criminal agency that created a false narrative for the purpose of discrediting President Trump and preventing him from reducing the […]

Durham Report Reveals the Real Threat to “Democracy” — The FBI Weaponized by Democrat Party Affiliated Elites

Donald Trump calls Russiagate a “hoax” but it is in fact much worse. The manufactured scandal was part of successful efforts to intimidate, to censor, and to discredit opposition to state narratives. Russiagate is used to make the case for the proxy war in Ukraine. Here in the US it plays a role in subjugating the Black liberation […]

Durham Blasts the FBI, But Ignores the Role of Russiagate Ringleader, John Brennan

The Durham Report fails to identify the ringleader of the Russiagate fiasco, John Brennan. It was Brennan who first reported “contacts… between Russian officials and persons in the Trump campaign”. It was also Brennan who initially referred the case to the FBI. It was also Brennan who “hand-picked” the analysts who cobbled together the Intelligence Community […]
