OBLONG MEDIA GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE is where independent minds meet to dissect politics, society, power, and global affairs without fear or filters. This is not mainstream media.

The document criticizes Antonio Guterres for working with Russia on the Ukraine grain deal Classified documents allegedly leaked by Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira have revealed that the US is closely spying on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and is not happy with his engagement with Moscow. Several documents detail Guterres’ communications, including one that accuses him of “undermining” efforts to take action against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. The document addresses his communications with Moscow regarding the grain deal that unlocked Ukraine’s Black Sea ports. To broker the deal between Moscow and Kyiv, the UN agreed to help facilitate the export of Russian…

The media obsession in vilifying Jack Texeira for “leaking” TOP SECRET and SECRET documents and judging him guilty without any benefit of doubt, is just another symptom of the authoritarian fever that grips many inhabitants of the United States. Forget the first amendment. Stay in the dark and trust the Government to tell you what you need to know. Before you join the mob eager to lynch the poor kid, let me share what some of my friends who are veterans of the CIA and the Air Force have said about this affair in the past few days. Both men say that…

The U.S. corporate media’s first response to the leaking of secret documents about the war in Ukraine was to throw some mud in the water, declare “nothing to see here,” and cover it as a depoliticized crime story about a 21-year-old Air National Guardsman who published secret documents to impress his friends. President Biden dismissed the leaks as revealing nothing of “great consequence.” What these documents reveal, however, is that the war is going worse for Ukraine than our political leaders have admitted to us, while going badly for Russia too, so that neither side is likely to break the stalemate this year, and…

The Supreme Court’s controversial judgment on Imo State governorship and it’s more recent decision on Senate President Lawan’s senate nomination bid has drawn the ire of one of the most senior retired Justices of the apex court – the Hon. Justice James Ogebe.

The struggle is going to be tough and nerve wracking but at the end, the Obidients and Mr Obi will triumph Knowing that Azikiwe no longer posed any threat to Northern political agenda, Britain having rubbished him, and since opposition forces have coalesced under Awolowo, to bolster Southern opposition to Northern power, the destruction of Awolowo and the Action Group became a task that must be accomplished. From then, NPC’s political project centred on containment or destruction of Awolowo. Unfortunately, Awolowo’s deputy, Samuel Ladoke Akintola was not so enamoured of his leader’s uncompromising politics with the feudal principles and humongous…

Mr Peter Gregory Obi, the Labour Party Presidential candidate and the leader of the ‘Obidient’ Movement may not know it, but from recent happenings after the February 25, 2023 Presidential election it should dawn on him that the Nigerian state and the caste of rulers feeding fat on the dysfunctional and decayed edifice called Nigeria consider him as a danger to their interest. Mr. Obi prior to June 2022 when he defected to the Labour Party and emerged the presidential candidate of the par- ty was, even though a member of the ruling caste but he was an outsider and…

Nigeria is a strange item 1 Of the 16 republics in the world, only Nigeria uses empty landmass as federating units, instead of ethnic nationalities. 2 Nigeria is the only oil-producing country where oil blocks are allocated to individuals, instead of government. 3 Nigeria is the only country in the world whose Constitution maintains a conflicting dual ideology – democracy and sharia.As both cannot co-habit, one must give way. That is the war going on now under Buhari’s watch. Recall, the Sultan of Sokoto – who doubles as head of fulani oligarchy and nigerian monarchy – recently declared in USA…

It wasn’t that long ago that Mitt Romney was threatening former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for suggesting the US was funding biolabs in Ukraine. Back in March, RINO Senator Mitt Romney accused former Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of spreading ‘treasonous lies’ for simply talking about the US-funded biolabs in Ukraine. “There are 25+ US-funded biolabs in Ukraine which if breached would release and spread deadly pathogens to US/world.” Gabbard said on Sunday. “We must take action now to prevent disaster. US/Russia/Ukraine/NATO/UN/EU must implement a ceasefire now around these labs until they’re secured and pathogens destroyed,” she added. Tulsi Gabbard made her statement based on testimony from…

Finally, the Russian investigation about American biological activities on Ukrainian soil was completed. A special parliamentary committee had been formed to carefully analyze evidence of crimes such as the production of biological weapons in military biolabs found and neutralized by Russian armed forces. The parliamentary group worked in partnership with experts linked to Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops for over a year. The results indicate that in fact Washington maintains illegal bio-military activities. Investigators pointed out that the US would be working towards the creation of a kind of “universal biological weapon”, genetically modified to cause serious damage,…

News coming from Sudan has overwhelmed state and non-state actors alike in Africa. Diplomats, businesses and most importantly, the ordinary people of Sudan sit on tenterhooks as fighters loyal to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese military clash. Ports and planes have not been spared. The commander of the RSF—who is also the number 2 of the military government—has vowed to capture all military bases and be in control of the state. This is happening after an arrangement for the commencement of the integration of the RSF in the regular army failed earlier in the year. How did…

Amid rampant corruption in Kiev and as US troops gather at the Ukrainian border, does the Biden administration have an endgame to the conflict? The Ukraine government, headed by Volodymyr Zelensky, has been using American taxpayers’ funds to pay dearly for the vitally needed diesel fuel that is keeping the Ukrainian army on the move in its war with Russia. It is unknown how much the Zelensky government is paying per gallon for the fuel, but the Pentagon was paying as much as $400 per gallon to transport gasoline from a port in Pakistan, via truck or parachute, into Afghanistan during the…

Outstanding and important analysis Judge Napolitano talks with Larry Johnson, former CIA Intelligence Officer, on the controversial leaked documents.

The pseudo-WikiLeaks 2.0 has just been stepped up a notch as the FBI arrested the perpetrator who shared the “secret docs” through a Discord server. The 21-year-old Airman First Class Jack Douglas Teixeira of the Massachusetts Air National Guard was apprehended on April 13 for his involvement with the “top-secret leak”. The controversial “Pentagon docs” contain what the US mainstream propaganda machine claims is “an array of national security secrets, including the breadth of surveillance the United States is able to conduct on Russia”. Apparently, Teixeira posted the “classified documents” in an invitation-only Discord (mainly gaming-focused platform) chat group called “Thug Shaker Central”. According…

Finland was not “suddenly” interested in NATO. Finland spent decades building its military to be compatible with NATO troops. It is about a process that already started in the nineties. Let me remind you, in 2014, Finland signed a memorandum of understanding with NATO. It gives the military alliance broad rights to act on Finnish soil, including “attack”. In Finland, they are jokingly asking where we are going to attack. Is it Sweden? This is how Mauno Saari, one of the most renowned Finnish journalists today, answers the question of the weekly “Pečat” – The presence of this author causes attention in the…

The Russians took an immediate interest in the intelligence leak scandal in the USA because so many of the documents deal with the readiness of their own and Ukrainian military forces for the long awaited “counterattack” by Kiev which may be decisive in the outcome of the war. They were instantly asking whether there was not some intrigue here, an attempt to loll them into overconfidence given that the situation of the Ukrainian side was portrayed in these documents as unpromising to dire, especially as regards air defense and supply of munitions. However, on close examination, the intelligence experts who…

On April 6th and 7th, The New York Times published articles addressing back-to-back leaks of more than 100 top secret Pentagon intelligence documents and photos suddenly appearing on Twitter, Telegram and other social media sites, including Russian. Right away I am suspicious of anything coming out of The New York Times, along with the Washington Post the biggest, overrated CIA-controlled propaganda newspaper that hires and pays money to robotic non-journalists to lie for the evil Deep State cabal. So, with The Times the source revealing this alleged plot breaching US national security, it’s already suspect. These supposed highly sensitive classified documents revealed current alleged US…

Joseph Chukwuka Ulasi, hailed from Nnewi in Anambra state. Born in 1890 and died 1944.He was nicknamed “O ji ụkwụ eje Aba” because of his unflinching hustling spirit as a young Igbo boy determined to make it in life and of which he eventually did by becoming the most successful transporter from South East. He regularly traveled on foot from Nnewi to Aba in mid-1920’s in search of fortune (O ji ụkwụ eje Aba). At Aba he traded in textiles and produce, slowly and painstakingly building a solid asset base by setting up roadside stalls along the popular Aba Road.…

The vast rain forest of the old Eastern Region of Nigeria captures an area where palm oil vegetation span into the banks of the River Niger and the Atlantic ocean. Then, the means of transportation was more of the water ways, as the area was not accessible to motor vehicles, so the sea of Palm Oil Mills in the East depended mainly on rivers and sea to move their produce to market outside of the region. These areas that later became the Bight of Biafra not only exported palm oil, but other produce such as yam, cassava, fish among others…

His words: “A good number of the consignments come through the Lagos axis.…

The documents revealed Washington DC had access to high-level internal conversations within Nigeria’s domestic intelligence agency. The United States Intelligence Community monitored Nigeria’s just-concluded national elections and tracked top-level talks within the Department of State Services (DSS), according to leaked files seen by HumAngle. The briefing slides were part of a cache of highly classified documents circulated online in recent weeks that revealed information about the U.S. spying on allies and adversaries. It included intelligence on South Korea, France, Israel, Ukraine, and Russia. Though the U.S. government has not confirmed the authenticity of the documents, it said it was “actively…

The concept of the Deep State is at the forefront of today’s news. In this March 2014 article published by Asia Pacific Journal and Global Research, Professor Peter Dale Scott analyses the role of “Deep State”, namely the shadow government integrated by Wall Street, US intelligence, the military industrial complex, the Washington think tanks, etc. This secret government overshadows the official government, including the White House and the US Congress. In the last decade it has become more and more obvious that we have in America today what the journalists Dana Priest and William Arkin have called: two governments: the one its citizens were familiar with,…

Allen Dulles masterminded the organization and structure of the CIA as a clandestine operating what now controls the US government and foreign policy. Dulles was behind the Bay…

While we were being distracted by the ongoing Russia/Ukraine war – and Washington’s increasing involvement in the war – tremendous developments in the Middle East have all but ended decades of US meddling in the region. Peace is breaking out in the Middle East and Washington is not at all happy about it! Take, for example, the recent mending of relations between Saudi Arabia and formerly bitter adversaries Iran and Syria. A China-brokered deal between the Saudis and Iran has them re-establishing full diplomatic relations, with the foreign ministers of both countries meeting in Beijing last week. It is the…

****N28.3tn illegal funds remain in Texas banks since firm’s discovery in 2019 ***Ex-NSA Azazi’s $9bn loot can be recovered within three months – US firm An American assets recovery firm, Forensic Assets Investigation and Recovery Services LLC, has traced $69bn (about N28.3tn) to different Texas bank accounts accrued from illegal oil deals by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. The money was believed to have been siphoned from undeclared crude oil sales under the Goodluck Jonathan administration allegedly by the NNPC officials and their collaborators in the Central Bank of Nigeria. Out of the stash, $9bn was traced to a Texas…

An asset recovery firm, Forensic Assets Investigation and Recovery Services LLC (FAIR), says it has uncovered $69 billion (about N28.3tn) in illegal oil deals by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) stuck in American banks. According to the American firm, the funds are stuck in banks based in Texas. The firm said it could recover all the identified funds if Nigeria agreed to pay its expenses and compensation. FAIR disclosed this in a confidential memo forwarded to the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for Recovery of Public Property (SPIP), The Punch reported Friday. According to the report, the funds were believed…

No true freedom fighter can obfuscate voices of freedom and democracy and still claim to be one. Professor Wole Soyinka has pitched his tent with the oppressors and enemies of the people. If he has not, he must recant and retrace his steps, and that way regain perspective and realign with old Soyinka. This new Soyinka is rather strange, looking more like a product of uncanny incestuous intercourse. Wole Soyinka in his most iconic quote told us: “The man dies in all who keep silent in the face of tyranny.” The quote is drawn from his prison memoir, The Man…

Olisa Agbakoba, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), has said that Nigerians were held down by powers that had made it difficult for them to extricate themselves. He described Nigerians as being in a cage and unable to free themselves. Agbakoba, who spoke with BusinessDay in an exclusive interview, likened the condition of Nigerians to a situation where a lion is holding its prey. “If a lion is holding you down, you are not likely to go anywhere. So, we are held down by a weight that we can’t shake off, and that is the problem,” he said. According to…

Speaking to Catriona Laing, the outgoing British High Commissioner to Nigeria who visited him at the presidential palace, he said, “I will be as far away from Abuja as possible.” That is plain wishful dreaming. He may conveniently wish to be ‘far away from Abuja’—a euphemism for bliss and peace—but his poor tenure in the power he…

The period between a general election and the swearing in of a successor administration ought to be filled with excited anticipation. It is usually a time of pleasant speculations on the new faces that will soon grace television screens and newspaper front pages. For the masses in a polity in virtual captivity, it is time to begin getting used to new overlords and masters. For the elite, this ought to be time to debate policy perspectives and options for the new administration. There is so much in the present atmosphere that defies the tradition of a civilized political transition season.…

The United Kingdom has placed Nigeria on the red list of countries that should not be actively targeted for recruitment by health and social care employers. This is coming one month after the World Health Organisation listed 55 countries, including Nigeria facing the most pressing health workforce challenges related to Universal Health Coverage.

According to the information obtained from the website of the UK government titled ‘Code of…

It is the height of political irresponsibility to use ethnicity, religion or spirituality in politcs as seen with Tinubus APC. It started with Muslim-Muslim ticket to exclude the Middlebelt peoples. Then advanced to fake Bishops to fool Christians. The ultimate sacrifice was the sacrifice of Lagosians to Oro. Yoruba culture is deep with dual ramifications in the physical as well as spiritual realms. On the physical realm, the Oro rites were to scare away Igbos and other immigrants, a voter suppression act to be challenged in courts, however it was invoked to have far reaching devastating spiritual effects. One that…

As the presidential campaign threw into full gear, Atiku obliged and kept his end of the bargain against the wishes of many PDP top shots who were privy to the details of the gentlemanly agreement with the President. Other political associates close to Atiku were also uncomfortable with the arrangement and expressed misgivings.

The focus was placed on Tinubu insteadCabals around Buhari deceived Atiku, promised to deliver the presidency to him Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, a former vice president…

Says Democracy Is About Free Choices And Not Coercion Says Acts Of Thuggery, Voter Manipulation By Politicians Amount To Treason. A Senior Lawyer, Jibrin Samuel Okutepa, SAN, has stated in an article he shared on 6th of April that there is no doubt that the Nigerian Constitution 1999 (as Amended) is supreme. That is why the Constitution itself proclaims its supremacy under Section 1(1) which read thus: This Constitution is supreme and its provisions shall have binding force on all authorities and persons throughout the Federal Republic of Nigeria. No one is exempted from the binding force of the Constitution.…

The notion that professor Wole Soyinka’s pedigree should exempt him from criticism is a very silly notion. Puerile, even! While the playwright’s records as a human right crusader and social justice activist are not in doubt, some of his actions, inactions and utterances especially in recent years and now, are beginning to paint an entirely different picture. Looking at his most recent media outing on the 2023 polls, the comparative literature professor exhibited all the characteristics of a man whose mouth is filled with hot agbado. And we must not shy away from saying this. He sounded quite dishonest, hypocritical…

Why is America congratulating the winner of this disastrous election? By Chimamanda Adichie Dear president biden, Something remarkable happened on the morning of February 25, the day of the Nigerian presidential election. Many Nigerians went out to vote holding in their hearts a new sense of trust. Cautious trust, but still trust. Since the end of military rule in 1999, Nigerians have had little confidence in elections. To vote in a presidential election was to brace yourself for the inevitable aftermath: fraud. Elections would be rigged because elections were always rigged; the question was how badly. Sometimes voting felt like an…

Dear Igbo Muslim/Muslim presidency proponents and Senate presidency and speakership aspirants, The South East is not yet ripe for the office of the senate president or the speakership – let’s keep building bridges and flyovers across Nigeria so by 2040, we might be ripe for those offices By then, the bridge will be long enough. You all supported a Muslim/Muslim presidential ticket, you sold your birthright for a bowl of porridge to pave the way for your ambitions. Therefore, in our opinion, nothing should be wrong with a muslim senate president and Muslim speaker if we can have a Muslim…

There is a certain anomaly that exists in Africa that is often not talked about. A narrative that attempts to cast African nations as needy beggars and the Western world as generous donors. Not only is this narrative wrong, but it has also continued to form clogs in the wheels of Africa’s journey to development and an intentional opportunity to own its destiny. It is without a doubt that African people have been subjected to the very worst kinds of difficulties, slights, deprivation, and violence over the years. It is so much such that except for Asia in geophysical terms and the…

Ahead of the November gubernatorial elections in Imo State, political activities seem to be taking the centre stage once again in the eastern heartland. The election, which is supposed to be a referendum on the administration of Governor Hope Uzodinma, may not turn out to be what pundits expect it to be given recent happenings in the state. Over the last three and half years, Uzodinma has bastardised governance in Imo State to the point that Imolites can no longer recognise good governance even if it hits them in the face. Transparency, accountability, integrity and a sense of direction which are…

In the past decades, African visionaries and progressive thinkers have not stopped calling out to African nations to break free from Western prescriptions to cure their problems. Sadly, Africa continues to swallow these Western pills even to overdosing, thereby creating new problems for themselves, while the continent continues to get sicker by the day. Without mincing words, if Africa wants to achieve prosperity and gain an identity of its own, beyond being the former colonies that depend on their ex-colonial masters for survival, the time to wake up is now. It continues to be shocking how Africa, being the second largest continent…

On April 3, the Wall Street Journal reported that Japan, one of the most prominent US vassal states, is now buying Russian oil at prices significantly above the illegal US/EU cap, effectively breaking the sanctions imposed by the political West. According to the report, Japan also got Washington DC to agree to the exception, claiming that the move was aimed at maintaining the energy security of Japan. The concession outlines just how dependent Tokyo is on Russia for fossil fuels. WSJ claims that (Western) analysts think this contributed to “a lot of hesitancy” in Tokyo to back the Kiev regime more…

President Donald Trump is being arraigned on the basis of sealed charges. It is unclear why the charges are sealed. Imagine arresting someone on the basis of charges kept from the person. It happens in America as it did in Stalin’s Soviet Union. Perhaps the charges are kept secret so that the media can defame Trump by reporting that his arrest is “related to his alleged involvement in a hush money payment and subsequent cover-up involving a purported affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels,” as Sputnik International reported this morning. Note that Sputnik is a Russian news service and not part of the US…

Last week, the Economist dedicated its cover and leading article to Chinese President Xi Jinping’s worldview. The timing was perfect: Xi had just completed a controversial three-day visit to Russia, where the two countries signed important agreements expanding their cooperation. Xi and Russian President Vladimir Putin both issued hubristic and highly confident statements about the future. Putin invited Russia’s main partners in Latin America, Africa and Asia to use the yuan for foreign trade settlements. Xi said: “There are changes that haven’t happened in 100 years. When we are together, we drive these changes,” Xi told Putin in his departing words. The first is a further boost to de-dollarisation in the Global South;…

We have been told over and over by unscrupulous journalists and politicians that the Russian special operation that began on February 24, 2022, was “unprovoked.” Journalists throughout the West repeated ad nauseam that word unprovoked. No journalist dared to write about the Russian incursion without adding that magic descriptor. It was as if someone were holding a gun to their heads. And the motivation behind this new iron-clad rule of journalism was that the special operation was not unprovoked at all. And to be effective, a lie must be repeated often, just as flowers must be watered daily to make…

The adoption of the British Westminster System of Government at Independence in 1960 with a Republican upgraded status in 1966 makes a mockery of democratic ethics and ethos, which the Britain had relished for centuries. Nigeria’s democratic system of government as we knew and practiced it came crashing with the introduction of “Fellow Nigerians” in the early hours of January 15, 1966.That was the day the military took over the nascent democratic government; dismissed the cabinet and suspended the constitution.The military ruled by decree throughout, with a three-year civil war and other coups and attempted coups until they established, by…

Dissonance. Is that the right word to describe the contradiction between word and action? Like the man putting up a “No Smoking” sign while a slowly burning stick of cigarette is trapped between his lips? There are too many things I cannot understand about my country. They look so simple, so commonsensical and so doable — like plucking low-hanging fruits — that they shouldn’t elicit any argument or foot-dragging. Yet, for decades on end, government after government, president after president and governors after governors keep going in circles. They will proclaim one thing as policy and do everything possible to…

Apparently, the most realistic wing of the American armed forces is beginning to distrust its own combat capacity in the face of the bellicose plans of their government. In a recent speech, a US top general warned that it would be “very difficult” for Washington to face Russia and China at the same time. The officer believes that major changes would be needed in US military doctrine to face this scenario. It remains to be seen whether pro-war politicians are really interested in this kind of realistic analysis. On March 29, General Mark Milley, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff…

The Xi-Putin Summit (March 22-24) was a strategic summit of two “non-western” super powers. The outcome of the summit will have far-reaching implications for the future of mankind. What the two leaders decided upon will be a strategic factor in the choice between a unipolar world and a multipolar world. The Western media did not say much about the summit. This was to be expected. They seem to believe that their god-given mission is to demonize China and Russia and other nation states which are not Washington’s “vassal countries”. The incessant demonization of China and Russia “does not make the West an Angel”.…

The Associated Press DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Saudi Arabia and other major oil producers on Sunday announced surprise cuts totaling up to 1.15 million barrels per day from May until the end of the year, a move that could raise prices worldwide. Higher oil prices would help fill Russian President Vladimir Putin’s coffers as his country wages war on Ukraine and force Americans and others to pay even more at the pump amid worldwide inflation. It was also likely to further strain ties with the United States, which has called on Saudi Arabia and other allies to increase…

The Yorubas are becoming an insecure, frightened and second rate nation. No woman likes a clingy, insecure man. But that is what we yorubas are becoming, a frightened, insecure and second rate nation. So fearful that we cant even accept one of our own because his mother is ibo. There was a time when the word swagger was synonymous with the yoruba. Reflecting self assurance and confidence. We exuded belief. The ibos secretly admired us. They adopted our clothes and music. They flocked to our churches. We accommodated strangers because we were so sure of ourselves, of our standing in…

The U.S. is the only country in the world that has been scientifically proven to be a dictatorship instead of a democracy, and on March 28th it will be heading a ‘Democracy’ Summit of other nations that are likewise pretending to be democratic but all of whose attendees will be nations whose regimes likewise are merely pretending to represent their public — or, otherwise, why would they be attending such a summit for ‘democracy’ that is being led by the world’s only nation that has been scientifically proven to be a dictatorship? There have now been at least three scientific…

The two BRICS nations will now reportedly trade in their own currencies. Beijing and Brasilia have signed an agreement on trade in mutual currencies, abandoning the US dollar as an intermediary, and are also planning to expand cooperation on food and minerals. According to media reports, the deal will enable the two BRICS members to conduct their massive trade and financial transactions directly, exchanging renminbi for real and vice versa, instead of using the US dollar for settlements. “The expectation is that this will reduce costs… promote even greater bilateral trade and facilitate investment,” AFP quoted the Brazilian Trade and…

Speech presented to the Conference, “Is our future NATO?”, organized by Abbasso la Guerra Group Before tackling the story of the military campaigns that have haunted our last thirty years up to today, it is necessary to recall three facts about the origin of these wars. In 1944, seventy-four Nazi leaders were aware of the defeat of Germany but determined to save the Nazi ideal from the catastrophe, they founded the organization O.D.SS.A. Their intent was to emigrate, and to any state where they establish, engage in companies, administrations, and political parties at any level, and filter their Nazi thought. Many…

Introductory Note on America’s “Long War”: The Project for The New American Century (PNAC) This incisive and carefully documented article by renowned historian and political scientist Dr. Jacques Pauwels was published by Global Research almost 20 years ago on April 30, 2003 in the immediate wake of the war on Iraq. Dr. Jacques Pauwels is a Research Associate of the Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG). The article largely pertains to the presidency of George W. Bush. Flash Forward to 2023: A Timely Question Why Does the Biden administration need war, including a $1.3 trillion nuclear weapons program? War against Russia and China is currently on the drawing board of the Pentagon. The US has conducted numerous wars since the end…

First published on November 15, 2015, this incisive report was a very popular article. As a result of media censorship it is no longer featured by the search engines. After the catastrophic attacks of September 11 2001 monumental sorrow and a feeling of desperate and understandable anger began to permeate the American psyche. A few people at that time attempted to promote a balanced perspective by pointing out that the United States had also been responsible for causing those same feelings in people in other nations, but they produced hardly a ripple. Although Americans understand in the abstract the wisdom…

Are Bola Tinubu, Femi Fani-Kayode and Bayo Onanuga Aware that their Great Grandfathers were of Nupe Origin? True Sons of Oduduwa know their true enemies are not the Igbo. Their real enemies are those parading today as their reckless political drivers in collaboration with Muslim Fulani oligarchy; those who delight in shedding the innocent blood of the same people they want to rule. Their enemies are not the Igbo who come to build and breed rather than to destroy and kill. Only those without true Yoruba blood will not understand this trajectory of Yoruba nationalism. On the morning of Sunday…

Being the text of Speech by Dr Bolaji O. Akinyemi, Initiator, Center for Justice and National Integration, delivered at The Convention of the Igbo in Lagos Organised by Africa Peace and Development Foundation titled, “Which Way Forward: Ndigbo and Nigeria?” on Saturday the 1st of April 2023 Protocol King Solomon’s wisdom is ever relevant to the socio-cultural evolution of human communities. As he aptly noted in Pro 20:6 (KJV) “Most men will proclaim everyone his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?” Like I once posited, history is at the mercy of its narrator. This has been the…

The Department of State Services (DSS) is an interesting organization. It is one place the citizens love to hate. The body thrives on Reverse Psychology and gaslighting, saying one thing and meaning the exact opposite and making the citizens doubt and blame themselves for the failures of their leaders. Inimitable also is their ambivalence and amorphous deception in the line of duty and secrecy. Their operatives do as they like, answerable to none but the President and to the President alone. Their allegiance is therefore not to the country or the Constitution. Their patriotism means standing with the President, even…

On Saturday 18 March 2023, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducted the gubernatorial and State Assembly elections to mark the second and concluding round of the 2023 elections. On that day, INEC, the law enforcement agencies and the Nigerian populace were presented with a golden opportunity to demonstrate to the rest of the world that, the below par showing on 25 February 2023 notwithstanding, Nigeria’s democracy had come of age. At the end of the day, not only did we fail spectacularly in this regard, but more dangerously, the fragile unity of the Nigerian State suffered a massive set…

As reactions trail the disclosure by the Department of State Services (DSS) on Wednesday over plot to install interim government ahead of May 29 handover from President Muhammadu Buhari to President-elect Bola Tinubu, Labour Party (LP) has dissociated itself from the alleged plot, denying being part of any unconstitutional arrangement to install an interim government. LP’s spokesman, Yunusa Tanko, said the party is not plotting any insurrection, describing the development as a conspiracy against the state. He made the clarification when featured yesterday on Channels Television’s Lunch Time Politics. “We are not part of any insurrection plans whatsoever. But what…

I always insist that the greatest merit for Igbos in recent times is not simply the advent of the internet on the surface! It is the social media aspect of the internet which now allows independent thinkers to challenge the lies of history. In Nigeria, our little corner of the world, through social media presentations, scholars are now debunking the false stories perpetuated by the Yoruba press (with the help of the north who has always been paranoid about Igbos). The Yorubas took advantage of their civil war take-over of the press to rewrite the history of Nigeria as it…

All through the 19th century, palm oil was highly sought-after by the British, for use as an industrial lubricant for machinery. Remember that Britain was the world’s first industrialised nation, so they needed resources such as palm oil to maintain that. Palm oil, of course, is a tropical plant, which is native to the Niger Delta. Malaysia’s dominance came a century later. By 1870, palm oil had replaced slaves as the main export of the Niger Delta, the area which was once known as the Slave Coast. At first, most of the trade in the oil palm was uncoordinated, with…

It is difficult to control a crowd of slaves in a slave farm but the slave master knows what to do. He targets a few slaves and makes them happy, at least, relatively happier than their counterparts. Make a few slaves happy and they will be loyal to you. They will be happy to defend you with their lives. They will go any length to do so. Yes! They will defend you at the expense of their own. They will forget that they are slaves too. They will fail to see that they are also having the short end of…

A friend of mine sent me a text message the other day: “Ikechukwu, please stop this fight. This election has been won and lost and it is high time we moved forward. Lamenting over spilt milk is an exercise in futility and if you are close to Peter Obi, please tell him to give peace a chance and allow the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to get on with the job. His insistence on challenging the outcome of the election in court is a disservice to the nation. He should withdraw it and seek accommodation in the incoming administration.” Really?…

Even when you adopt a name or date of birth, there is evidence that you attract the cyclic essences attached to them. Studying the Olokun essences of leadership, consciousness, propaganda and spirituality, there are striking similarities between Madam Efunroye Tinubu and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu Lagos influences. Both were non-Lagosians, starting with links to Abeokuta and ending with attacks on Lagos migrants. It was in Abeokuta that Madam Tinubu met and married the visiting deposed Oba Adele of Lagos that was later reinstated and gave her access to control Lagos political and slave economy. It was Abeokuta Chief MKO Abiola and…

A Senior Advocate Of Nigeria and Human Rights Lawyer, Femi Falana has alleged that the lawyers of the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi have an upper hand heading into the court. The Senior Advocate stated that what the Court will be looking at is the evidences presented by the petitioners and the veracity of such evidences. He cited the fact that INEC on their own hand has also admitted that some of the electoral officers have breached the conduct of the electoral commission. The Legal eagle argued that the Court is empowered to prosecute any INEC…

The Department of State Services (DSS) says it has confirmed a plot “by some key players” to install an interim government and stop Bola Ahmed Tinubu from being inaugurated as president. The plot includes embarking on violent protests nationwide to engineer the declaration of a state of emergency as well as securing frivolous court injunctions to stall the inauguration, the DSS said. In a statement on Wednesday, Peter Afunanya, the public relations officer of the secret police, said: “The Department of State Services (DSS) has identified some key players in the plot for an Interim Government in Nigeria. “The Service…

An elder statesman and former Chairman of the PDP in Anambra State, Dan Ulasi has disclosed how the relationship between the Igbos and northern Nigeria led by Sardauna of Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello began several decades ago. Speaking during an interview, Ulasi said in 1937 Ahmadu Bello made attempts to become the Sultan of Sokoto but he was not successful. He said soon after that, he was charged to a magistrate court in Guzau (in present-day Zamfara) over tax evasion and he was locked up. According to Ulasi, it was an easterner, the late Chief Okonkwo who was Ahmadu Bello’s…

There are many still in shock about February 25th and March 18 elections. This is understandable. In the week before the 20th of February it appeared the Obidient movement had pulled off a miracle and already made good of the first part of the first promise of the Obi/Datti manifesto: To unite and secure Nigeria. From Sokoto to Sagbama, Lagos to the lungus of Borno the youth of Nigeria were gyrating to the same beat of the president we need. Were we finally close to the words of our first national anthem, “though tribe and tongue may differ, in brotherhood…

Sunday, March 26, 2023 His Excellency,Muhammadu Buhari,The President Federal Republic of Nigeria,The Presidency,The Villa,Abuja,Nigeria. Your Excellency Sir, PETITION AGAINST MR. BOLA AHMED TINUBU FOR MAKING INCENDIARY COMMENTS AND HATE SPEECH BREEDING YORUBA SUPREMACISTS AND CAUSING TRIBAL ATTACK AGAINST IGBOS IN LAGOS AND ACROSS NIGERIA. I write this petition with the full realization that with the recent general elections like ours that allegedly became a tribal war against a particular tribe, there is need to conduct post-mortem investigation and put on trial those directly responsible and those who incited and sponsored such verbal and physical attacks, especially in Lagos State to…

Nigerians underrated Tinubu, a man who forged his birth certificate and forged his parental background. He forged his school certificate.He forged his identity and name.He forged his village, town, LGA and state of origin.He forged his university degree certificate. And nothing happened. We underrated a man who got away with paying people to impersonate as bishops and GOsHe got away with drug cases in the US by paying huge fines.He got away with a Muslim/Muslim ticket.He got away with ethnic bigotry. And we did nothing. We underestimated a man who pocketed the media for years and controlled the narrative.Pocketed Lagos…

It was in December 2022 that I first saw the chilling video of the then-All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, explaining his political philosophy. “Political power is not going to be served in a restaurant…not served in (sic) a la carte,” he says to what appears to be an inner political circle. “It is what we are doing. It is being determined to do it at all cost. Fight for it, grab it, snatch it, and run with it….” “Grab it, snatch it, run with it” as a political principle? The first image that came to my mind as…

The Igbo political elite faces the challenge of transforming an unimpeachable moral argument into a winning political coalition. As campaigning for the just concluded presidential election gathered pace, Peter Obi, standard bearer of the Labour Party (LP) found himself athwart two apparently contrary impulses. The first, let’s call it the liberal impulse, centered on the irrepressible energy and creativity of the “Obi-dient,” the mass of mostly young enthusiasts who had come to see the former Anambra State Governor as the answer to all their prayers for a better Nigeria. The second impulse was the ethnic one, the conviction of the Igbo that “it is…

Peter Obi may have lost the Nigerian presidential election, but he and the movement he leads may yet win the political war. This time last year, no one saw Peter Obi coming. Mentally, Nigerians were preparing for yet another general election in a series dominated since the country’s return to democracy in 1999 by the incumbent All Progressives Congress (APC) and its rival People’s Democratic Party (PDP). An uninspiring two-horse race seemed all but guaranteed, and voters were more or less set to pull the lever for the lesser of two evils in a long-standing arrangement that had failed to…

We are currently at the crossroads of the Most Serious Economic and Social Crisis in World History. It is an outright war against all humanity: the Planet’s 8 billion people. Starting with the corona crisis in late January 2020, the global crisis (2020-2023) –which is ongoing– has literally disrupted and destroyed people’s lives Worldwide in the course of the last three years. The scale and complexity of the 2020-2023 Global Economic and Social Crisis far surpasses all previous “depressions” including the 2007-2009 Recession which was categorized as the most serious economic meltdown since the Great Depression of 1929. Everything is interrelated starting with the Covid pandemic, the mRNA vaccine, the powers of…

A thoughtful man, he has studied Islam deeply, even going to the lengths of learning Arabic in order to read the Quran Liz Truss took over as prime minister of what many consider to be the most Islamophobic government in British history. A government which refuses to engage with the largest representative body of British Muslims and has framed an invidious security regime (Prevent) which targets them; in which a minister was sacked because her “Muslim woman minister status was making colleagues feel uncomfortable”. A government accused this week of treating Muslims like second-class citizens. Little surprise: more than half of the members of the ruling Conservative Party entertain wild conspiracy theories about British Islam.…

The death of Queen Elizabeth II and the inheritance of the British throne by her eldest son Charles, can either be viewed as a significant event holding the possibility of positive change, or the further manifestation of a beguiling and deceptive show of imperial/colonial self importance. It’s too early to know which way the pendulum will swing, but well over half the British public still supports the existence of a Monarchy and turns out in large numbers to express their approval of the theatre that remains an enduring part of the British love affair with ‘tradition’ and the uncopromisingly expensive and pompous spectacle…

In recent developments “Green King Charles” has endorsed legislation allowing for the genetic manipulation of plants and animals. By Julian Rose, March 27, 2023 Did you know that Prince Charles, now King Charles, was the first to announce the Global Reset? Boy was that prophetic.

A trillion dollars is a lot of money. If you stacked a billion dollar bills on top of one another, the pile would be 67.9 miles high, but if you stacked a trillion dollar bills on top of one another the pile would be 67,866 miles high. And if you lined up a trillion dollar bills end to end, the line of dollar bills would be a staggering 96,906,656 miles long. That is longer than the distance from the Earth to the Sun. A trillion dollars is such a vast amount of money that it is truly difficult to comprehend, but…

Peter Obi Won the Presidential Election, but let the Law take its Course- Governor Nyesom Wike says.
Incumbent governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has opined that although the winner of the 2023 presidential election is the Labour Party 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, Nigerians should allow the Supreme Court to rule over the case that he has filed against the outcome of such election. In a video which was uploaded on the micro blogging platform Twitter, the former 2023 presidential candidate made such statement while commissioning one of his many projects in the state, as he stated that the winner of the February polls is Peter Obi whether people like it or not. According to Nyesom…

THE DRAMA IN TRYING TO CONVERT ELECTION PDFs TO SPREADSHEETS My phone pinged: “Tell Mark Essien they are coming for him.” I had no idea what that even meant. It was a forwarded WhatsApp message that someone had sent to a friend of mine. All I was doing was trying to convert PDFs from the 2023 Nigeria Presidential elections into spreadsheets. But let’s rewind a bit and give some context. In 2020 a small group of about 5 young people went to a crossroads in Lagos, Nigeria to protest against police brutality. Their protest was called #EndSARS, and they were…

First it was the US secretary of state who went on a trip to Africa, now it is the vice-president and later in the year the president himself is expected to come. This flurry of visits by top figures in the US administration reflects a growing awareness that the US needs to deepen its engagement with the continent. This all comes in the face of growing competition from other global powers, especially China and Russia. Vice-President Kamala Harris starts her nine-day trip in Ghana before moving on to Tanzania and Zambia. Ghana, with its focus on strengthening ties with the…

“Don’t stay in Lagos, and benefit from the leadership, infrastructure and economy Lagosians built over time, yet carry resentment towards them. You threaten violence and de-market Lagos on social media. You have options. Behave or relocate!” – Reno Omokri. Let me open this short contribution by saying that I completely agree with the views expressed above by Pastor Reno Omokri. Let us hope that those he is attempting to offer such wise counsel appreciate and accept it before it is too late and things fall apart. I am constrained to go further by saying that I also share the views…

Assume a state with about 30 Local Government Areas (LGAs). Assume each LGA has 10 council wards. That will mean 300 wards in the state. If each ward has 10 polling units that will mean 3,000 polling units in the state. If a political party in the 2023 election spent minimum $500USD per polling unit in buying votes, that will mean $1,500,000USD (One Million Five Hundred Dollars). If as at March 18, 2023, the street exchange rate per Dollar was N740, the $1,500,000 will mean N1,110,000,000. That is One Billon, One Hundred and Ten Million Naira, spent by the political…

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has condemned the “persistent” aversion to people of southeastern extraction, which he describes as Igbophobia. Speaking at an event in Anambra State to commemorate Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s one year in office, Obasanjo recalled his work with the professor of economics as well as the current Director General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. In Obasanjo’s administration which spanned 1999 to 2007, Soludo served as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), while Okonjo-Iweala was the Minister of Finance. The former president stated that Soludo, who worked closely with him as an economic…

The much awaited 2023 elections have come and gone with it’s happiness and sorrow. With the belief and disbelief in the existence of God. But in all these, the Bible admonished us to thank God. So we thank God for everything. For students of political history, the various “INEC and IREV” results as variously announced and declared is just the first step to real or phyric victory. It is the first round of a four -round tournament. The first being the election. The second being the tribunal. The third being the court of appeal and the fourth and final being…

Declassified files show how Russia’s president, during the 1990s, repeatedly told Western counterparts he was “not against” expansion of the military alliance, Matt Kennard reports. He even devised an agreement to bring the Russian people onside. Boris Yeltsin privately stated he was not against NATO expansion in the 1990s while publicly opposing the military alliance, declassified files show. This posture went back as far as 1993, two years into his presidency, which would last until 2000 when he appointed Vladimir Putin his successor. Declassified notes from a meeting of the British cabinet in September 1993 include a statement from defence secretary Malcolm Rifkind…

The congratulatory message purportedly from mobil is yet again another desperate search for legitimacy. Tinubu worked briefly with Mobil oil Nigeria. Not ExxonMobil, there’s a world of difference. Exxon Mobil USA of today will not touch Tinubu with a 10ft pole. Not with all the controversies. Doing so is a sure way to suffer huge brand erosion for such a corporate giant and global brand. But one clear observation here is that those listed here are All Yoruba Names. No single member of other ethnic groups in Nigeria was listed there. It is 100% people from his ethnic group. What…

That is to say that the newly independent states must reimburse the cost of the infrastructures built by France during the colonization.We are always looking for the details of the costs, the evaluation of the benefits and the payment conditions imposed by France on African countries.

The publicity for the Ukraine war has been handled far more successfully by the US, NATO and allies than the campaign to justify the 2003 US war on Iraq. The Ukraine news is pervasive. It comes from the front, from anchors in Kyiv, from interviews with victims, medical staff and politicians. Moscow-based Western correspondents who dominate the airwaves, television and print media provide unenlightening input from Russia. The war is being won for hearts and minds while bloody battles rage in eastern Ukraine. Blanket efforts to influence global public opinion in favour of the war will go on long after…

Our thoughts today are with the people of Iraq, whose country was invaded twenty years on March 20, 2003. The destruction and loss of life is beyond description. More than a million deaths have been recorded. It is important to analyze the political justification of the invasion of Iraq which was presented to public opinion. The evidence is overwhelming. The justification to wage war on Iraq was based on fake intelligence. War crimes committed at the highest levels of government. Smoking Guns The War narrative which unfolded with Colin Powell’s February 5, 2003 presentation to the UN Security Council was that Saddam possessed “Weapons of Mass Destruction”. The intelligence Dossier presented by Colin Powell to the UNSC…
