“Therefore, she should always, whether in moments of anger or tranquillity, comport herself as an ambassador for peace, unity, justice, destined to spread love to every little corner of the globe, starting from her own very little corner.”

I began my journalism and writing careers as both a college journalist and a budding writer in 1977 at the Great Aladura Comprehensive High School, Anthony Village, Lagos, Nigeria, in addition to being trained at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Ife, Nigeria as a literary critic and scholar, between 1985 and 1989. Therefore, these long years of practising journalism and writing automatically qualify me as a veteran journalist as well as an established writer, more so, a published author, whose latest work is titled: Be a Beacon of Hope in the World: A Message to Young Britain.

Also, by these long years in the journalism profession, I’m able to discern when something is not right in a news item of whatever platform, be it the conventional or the social media. Both early morning and afternoon of Monday the 7th of August 2023, having been waiting very anxiously for the result of the match between Nigeria’s Super Falcons and England’s Lionesses, although not a soccer enthusiast, in between my very busy schedules, I was on and off my favourite Channel, Sky, but instinctually as the result after the result had been announced, I sensed something was not right as after they had told the viewers the result of the match, they merely concentrated on the interviews their Correspondents had in Brisbane with England fans.

So, I began asking myself: “Why are they showing just the interviews with the fans and not the actual scenes of the match?”

Also, in the philosophical realm, I was asking, “Is Sky not willing to show the Nigerian players because everybody was praising them and concluding that the Nigerian players gave a very good account of their soccer dexterity.

As the reader would bear me witness, the Western Media generally, hardly report anything positive about Nigeria, and by extension, continental Africa – “is this then the reason Sky is not showing the scenes of the match?” I had again asked myself.

Having no answer to offer myself, I afterward left my residence for a walk as is customary of me to do, at exactly 17:-00 UK time, and came in at exactly 20:00, UK time.

Taking my seat, I said a short prayer and then switched on my TV to Channel 233. Lo, and behold, on there, was a snapshot of the very ugly, barbaric, and bestial scenes, where whatever be her name – Lauren James aggressively and bestially stamped on the back of Ms Michelle Alozie. But did she think the civilized world would applaud her jungle-like bestiality?

Expectedly I screamed out: “Why(?)!” “Why? (!)” “Why? (!).

Whilst waiting for the full story, I quickly raced back ‘home’ – to see how Nigerian newspapers have reported those scenes, but not surprising, in all the papers I had checked – The Guardian, where I had worked and shone as a Staff Reporter, The Punch, where I had also worked, Vanguard, The Cable, Sahara Reporters, The Daily Post, none has reported the Laurenian or the Jamesian bestiality or brutishness or aggression/violence.

Excepting, The Guardian, the other papers mentioned above, had no story on the Match between the Falcons and the Lionesses, unless the story was tucked somewhere on the Sports page.

As an enthusiastic and a close watcher of the media in Nigeria, I can confirm that the news gathering business of the media in Nigeria is still pre-historic in nature, and to put it very mildly, analogic!

The rapidity or the lightning speed with which Western media change news items 24/7 in the Internet Age is totally lacking amongst the media in Nigeria. Yet, in passing this verdict on my colleagues back home, I must say that with all sense of responsibility, I arrive at this conclusion, taking cognizance of all the constraints that they often do face 24/7, in comparison with their Western media counterparts, including non-payment of salaries, which has  made many a journalist in Nigeria compromised themselves - doing cattle egrets, MORE BLESSINGS SAH (!) and political attachments.

But can any editor in that country worth their salt issue written queries to their reporters/correspondents why they were all far, far behind in reporting the ongoing FIFA Female World Cup Tournament in Brisbane like their counterparts in the West as in the Age of the Internet – 24/7 news coverage era, news outlets/sources have widened and expanded beyond any human imagination?

And regarding Ms James, firstly, I have so many things to say to her, but I will hold back because I belong to the two great Countries – Nigeria and Great Britain, and I have come to see my self over the years as an ambassador for the two great nations.

But why did Ms James do that which she did to her own very natural sister, the Atlantic, notwithstanding?

Some people have explained her barbarism as the result of fatigue or stress and frustration, but does not wisdom counsel self-restraint and circumspection during the heat - the frustration of the moment?

Secondly, because of her age as in my roots, which too unarguably, is Ms Lauren James’ roots, although, most persons of African ancestry on this side the Atlantic can go violent if you link them with their original/authentic African roots – in which case, like others of her ilk, she too is either in denial of her African roots or she has lost it for a mess of pottage like the Biblical Esau - she is still a mere child.

HER BIODATA CONFIRMS THIS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lauren Elizabeth James (born 29 September 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Women's Super League club Chelsea and the England women's national team.

Early life and education

Lauren Elizabeth James was born on 29 September 2001 in London.[2] She is of Grenadian and Dominican descent through her father, and English descent through her mother.[3][4]

She attended Whitton School in Whitton, London.[5]

Lauren James - Wikipedia, accessed: 07/08/2023.

Thirdly, why did the Sky news not show the scenes of the Laurenian aggression against her own very biological sister/cousin very early enough?

Fourthly, the best antidote for that bestiality of hers is not a global condemnation as such, but an invitation home to Nigeria/Africa by both Ms Michelle Alozie and ReBAT (Remi Bola Ahmed Tinubu), who like her husband is regarded by this writer as the ILLEGITIMATE FIRST LADY OF NIGERIA (IFLON) as this will reconnect Ms Omowale Lauren James to her African roots, because right now, she is a mere pendulum, hanging between the sky and the earth, but belongs to neither, just like others of her ilk, among whom are our brothers and sisters on this side of the Atlantic, who prefer bearing Asian and Western names to African names, and would never, ever have anything to do with Africa/Africans!

The purpose of the joint invite by first, Ms Michelle Alozie, and ReBAT is to give Ms James a proper home training, starting with lessons in proper manners that will make her fit into the human society – the lessons should include teaching her how to be both human and humane, so that henceforth, she will learn how to treat her fellow human beings as she would herself love to be treated, including receiving a great lesson in SELF-IDENTITY, which should be extended to every Caribbean and all persons of African descent, who never accept their AFRICAN ROOTS, AFRICAN IDENTITY OR AFRICANESS, and by so doing, ignore the eternal wisdom of Brother Peter Tosh: “No matter where you come from….”

Lastly, Lauren must learn that more than competitive religions that have over-emphasised the differences in human society, sports, and foremost, soccer, has united the world and all humanity more than anything and anyone else.

Therefore, she should always, whether in moments of anger or tranquillity, comport herself as an ambassador for peace, unity, justice, destined to spread love to every little corner of the globe, starting from her own very little corner.

Yet, the heavens will not forgive me, if I fail to ask Ms Lauren James this one question on behalf of our ancestors and posterity: WHAT STORY/INFORMATION DOES SHE HAVE ABOUT AFRICA/AFRICANS?

But will she after this ugliness, embark on a mea culpa, and enlist herself as both a beacon of light and hope for and in the world?

And let all the world join me to confess: Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

 

Oya, Brother Tosh, come sing for our sister, Omowale Lauren James o ja re:

Tales of a Fuel Snatcher

In this deconstruct about the myth of oil subsidy in Nigeria which he relies on Vanguard and Sahara Reporter sources, JOHN ODEY ADUMA, whilst still agonising over the dumbing down of national standards in Nigeria, laments that the lowering of standards in Nigeria has reached a very despicable level such that a notorious/the Grand Crook of the Federal Republic (GCFR) who by national error took the oath of office on May 29, 2023 is now the one presiding over the affairs of Africa’s most populous country, calling the shots as both the ‘President’ and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, albeit by his reckoning, a mere placeholder ‘President’.

KIND ATTENTION: HIS GRACE ENOCH ADEJARE ADEBOYE

 

“Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler,”

  • Proverbs 6:5.

The Venerable Boye

 

“Flee from amongst them….what fellowship has light with darkness?”

Desperate Lady MacTinubu….carest thou not for thy husband’s health?

 

Most Excellent Venerable Boye, in the name of the Lord’s Christ, the Spirit of the Lord and the God of Nigeria, greetings to you, Mummy and the Church of Jesus Christ in Nigeria:

Daddy Adeboye…what would Daniel or Jeremiah or Peter or Paul say to Barabbas of Guinea regarding the recent highly disputed Presidential Election result?

Daddy, when the old water pot is not in the house, the new one will not last (Yala proverb).

Just a simple question, Daddy, in your letter to me as the Chairman of the Editorial Board of the Daily Times of Nigeria Plc, after I had led a delegation of two of your other sons in the Lord, including my humble self, inviting you to come and pray for us and the Daily Times of Nigeria Plc, which in my reckoning was then a mini-Nigeria – your Holiness, in that letter signed by your good self and not by any of your assistants addressed to me, your son, JOHN ODEY ADUMA, who by the Father’s predeterminate counsel is your son in the Lord, and who had fed and received under your undoubted anointing, you entitled it thus: THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.”

  • William Shakespeare.

 

MC Oluomo…in charge and in control.

Usman Alkali Baba and the untaming of Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s private ‘army’…sooner or later what BAT and his ‘army’ will bring upon our Nigeria is pregnant.

 

Baba without proactive policing….in power and neither in charge nor in control. Not good value for money!

 

Behold, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the originator of TINUBU CROW and the man who has been putting a sword on the things that hold us (the nation) together.

Tinubu Crow just like Jim Crow is the mindless exploitation of those at the zero rung of the ladder of the nation - the louts (Area Boys and Girls), particularly in the South West, telling them even if the “Yibos” (Ndigbo) have “taken everything”, including land from them -  as sons and daughters of the soil, they in fact, own everything the “Yibos”, including their shops, which at will they can burn and cart aways their goods, with Baba and his officers playing the bystander role.

“You may subvert the will of the people by the people for the people to realize your inordinate ambition, but you cannot subvert the will of God for the people.”

- John Odey Aduma.

The Presidency is an exalted office for the exalted mind.

Ego Naka…in modern Nigeria, it not character, honesty, integrity, standards and merit, but it’s a matter of cash. And the more, the bigger your space and place in the Nigerian society of today. And in all that life can offer the Nigerian, the successful are those with the most cash, and in 99.09% of the cases, stolen. Therefore, ill-gotten, yet from amongst these conscienceless and mindless crooks emanate the nation’s rulers!

Whilst in the Age of untruth, the fools say money is the measure of value, the wise think otherwise, because money is neither the measure of value nor of truth nor a legal tender in the truth economy.

Since the unsurprising, but very embarrassing and shameful outcome of the 2023 Presidential Election in Nigeria, which no doubt has orphaned a great nation; and predominating in my oracular glass is the uneasy calm that has descended upon our nation with violence and war flapping their wings in and around Nigeria as a fowl shot by an evil hunter, who returned from an unsuccessful hunting expedition at the Okipu rainforest, but turned its anger at a fowl that crossed his path in the heat of the anger of returning empty-handed from the jungle without any game, thinking he would convince his kinsmen that the domesticated fowl was indeed a type of guinea fowl. Is the modern world not full of desperate men like that hunter?

The risk of violence and civil unrest surrounding the upcoming Nigerian presidential elections is a threat and while it may mean some global businesses temporarily exit the country taking their employees with them, G4S stands ready to protect its customers with an enhanced range of services available.

For customers who remain operational, they can be reassured that G4S’s capabilities in Nigeria are some of the best; including Close Protection Officers, Secure Transportation Services and Tracking and Response capabilities.

Whilst Author JOHN ODEY ADUMA here uses the occasion of the aftermath of the just concluded General Elections in Nigeria to counsel calm, level-headedness and the embracement of the Nigerian spirit in the face of all provocations, no matter how slight or big; national and universal brotherhood; peace that surpasses all understanding; unparalleled maturity; altruism and the spirit of oneness and sportsmanship as what should matter to all humanity in every competitive enterprise is the spirit of oneness and participation rather than the mentality of winning at all costs, consequent upon resorting to agberoic braggadocio or the latest bestiality, monstrosity and the very toxic weaponization of  politicking, otherwise known as the game of number, courtesy of EMILOKANISM or the gruesome and an unkind act of BATology or mindless Jagabanism, he is more than ever before convinced beyond every shadow of the doubt that despite the unparalleled corruptibility of the Judiciary in modern Nigeria, the court yet in our body politics remains our last best option and hope!

And to the IGP Usman Alkali Baba and his officers, he says even a person with a zero-policing knowledge will know that that chief of touts, MC Oluomo should by now be a person of interest, including his pay masters, who if not very careful henceforth, will suffer a worse fate than that of M.K.O Abiola, despite the nation’s weak accountability system.

 
  • Walrus are facing the harsh realities of the climate crisis and we urgently need to discover more about how they are affected to help safeguard their future 
  • WWF and the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) are calling for the public’s help to search for and count Atlantic and Laptev walrus through Maxar satellite images from space 
  • The ‘counting phase’ comprises walrus haul-outs imaged in 2021, and will be open for 3 weeks from 17 January to 7 February 2023 

From 17 January 2023, WWF and the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) are inviting the public to become ‘walrus detectives’ and get involved in their Walrus from Space project to help with vital research to enable a better understanding of these Arctic marine mammals.  

Walrus are facing the consequences of the climate crisis and we need to know more about how they are affected. ‘Walrus Detectives’ help contribute to conservation science by searching for walrus in thousands of satellite images collected by space technology and intelligence company Maxar Technologies. The images found to contain walrus from the first year have been reloaded into the citizen science platform and the ‘detectives’ are now invited to count the walrus in those images to contribute to population data.   

 
  • New WWF tool uses data from 50 organisations including NASA, the World Bank and IUCN to help investors and companies understand the risks they face from biodiversity loss
  • When used on a representative investor portfolio, the tool finds that most portfolio companies have a medium or high exposure to biodiversity-related risks

Today at the World Economic Forum meeting at Davos, WWF is launching a new tool to help companies and investors better understand their impacts and dependencies on nature.

WWF’s Biodiversity Risk Filter is a free to use, web-based tool that helps businesses identify and reduce biodiversity-related risks across their own operations, their value chains and investments. 

Using 50 data sets from NASA, IUCN, the World Bank and many other sources, it breaks down complex biodiversity information to give decision makers practical information to assess biodiversity-related risks across all industries and in all countries.
