Map of West Africa

“And whilst all the world – Europe, America, Asia, Russia, the Arabs, etc, etc, are a possibility because of Africa; Africa is a possibility because of neither of them, because Africa is not only self-dependent and indeed, if not for the stupidity of the continent’s leadership, can be self-dependent because Africa does not need any of these nations and continent to live, exist, thrive, feed, survive and succeed.”African Governance: From Philophers to Pygmies

  • Paul of Tarsus (Acts 27:10).

 

Puppetism and Marionetism – ECOWAS, Self-interest and the Problematization of non-Problems

 

The ongoing ‘war’, the unnecessary abrasive, arrogance, and infantile jaw-jaw is on the one hand with revolutionary forces versus puppets and marionettes that have been teleguided in the past by postcolonial-neocolonial apostles who till the very present are still being so teleguided; and on the other hand, it is a ‘war’ between Putinism/Authoritarianism and Westernism/Democracy and the rule of law.

(And) due to the lack of visionaries, mature, reflective, conscientious and Africancentric leadership amongst the present crop of Western puns that abound in West African governance, which of course, is responsible for the current epidemic of coups and terror activities, wrong foot was put forward in the ongoing negotiation between the ECOWAS leadership/their Western masters who are pulling the strings from the background, and the junta; and by the reckoning of this writer, it is akin to a motor park-bolekaja diplomacy, and amounts to otunu (Yala, for push fight or agent provocateurs) and militaristic sort of doing political business or deals, hence the art and science of cool or level-headed dialogue/diplomacy was thrown overboard for political gangsterism, infantilism, rascality, brinkmanship and mindless jagabanism.

Also, turning Niger Republic into a sort of regional Mecca is simply not only time-wasting and energy sapping, but an exercise in the worst form of infantilism, reducing pre-eminent persons in the region such as former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto, Brigadier General Sa’adu Mohammed Abubakar IV, that very, very retrogressive Sultan of the modern world; SLS (Sanusi Lamido Sanusi) and the notable Islamic clerics – the Ulammas to mere jokers, idle errand boys and a sort of Ajala or regional troubadours from Nigeria.

WHY ARE TINUBU AND HIS DIPLOMATIC EMMISARIES FROM NIGERIA SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE COUP IN NIGER – BECAUSE OF THE “BRETHREN”, THEIR BUSINESS INTEREST IN  THE REPUBLIC OF NIGER; OR FROM BAT, A PLOY FOR POLITICAL DIVERSION FROM THE REALITIES AT HOME, MORE SO, WHEN IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE AN ALL-ECOWAS MATTER?

What I can’t understand is, the matter at hand is supposed to be a matter for all ECOWAS, and if this is the case, as it truly is, the question then is, why has it been stupidly Nigerianised, and by so doing, reduce our country to an American Alsatian dogs that can bark, but cannot bite or a mere kitten licking ice cream, and by extension, the Nigerian fifle as mere jokers or a sort of la la nla from the Republic of Lalala?

Having so much to write on this subject matter but due to time constraint, and since the yunta (junta) has proposed a three-year gradual transition to the so-called democratically elected Government, it is thus, not hard for the discerning mind that the matter at hand has been reduced to a sort of haggling and bargaining scenario between an akuya owner and a customer at Kano or Sokoto market which no doubt requires a dexterous negotiation by persons well versed in the art and science of human face and conscientious diplomacy.

THE ONGOING EUROCLYDON: ECOWAS MUST NOT FALL …. ALL AFRICA MUST NOT ALLOW ARROGANT WEST TO LIBYANISED NIGER OR ANY PART OF THE CONTINENT ANYMORE - AND ALL FRENCH PUPPETS AND COLONIES IN AFRICA MUST BE SACKED AND DISMANTLED BY DECEMBER 31ST, 2023….I DECREE THIS BY OUR ANCESTORS!

“Do not abandon your own friend and your father’s friend, And do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster. Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away”.

Proverbs 27:10.

And instead of grandstanding and their unnecessary agberoic braggadocio, the ball is now in the court, not of Nigerians nor those with vested self-interest from the West, but ECOWAS as a body, representing all the West African states and their people to return to the negotiating table with General Abdourahmane Tchiani and his gang acting on behalf of Putin and his Russia/Wagner and make their own reasonable offer for (a) reasonable adjustment/s, cutting down or better to say, propose a 6-month transition period during which an election will be held to usher in a new democratically elected Government as desired by the Nigeriens themselves and not by any external forces/meddlers; or if the proposed six months is not acceptable to the yoonta (junta), then a year could be proposed, and if still not okay by the yoonta, then two years; and if yet this does not go down well with them, leading to their outright refusal and stiff-neckedness, then indulge them with their three miracles, (aftercall, three years is but three seconds), which they hope to perform signs and wonders, thereby returning the glory of Niger Republic that hitherto was lost by Mohamed Bazoum and his ilk – especially his predecessors.

So, whilst the Nigerian troubadours and their boss, Amoda, the headline chaser just to divert attention, and all the world wait for the arrival of the Tchianian three magic years to arrive, hoping from their own perspective, the year of miracles as Nigeria’s former year 2000, when one government after another told the Nigerian people they would ensure Kulifindu mountain, where everything is free, would be relocated to Nigeria, and all the Nigerian problems and needs would be met, Oga Bazoum can choose to relocate to Daura to meet his cousin and friend since no body in Nigeria has yet shout out BBB from the crowd or choose any other country in Africa, and certainly not France to relocate to, as Macron/West, considering a peaceful resolution a slap would plot and mobilize from France or any part of the West to exterminate Tchiani and his key loyalists for the return of Bazoum to Government House in Niamey to serve France/Western interest once more, instead of Russia, whose interest Tchiani and his men are serving.

And whatever period is agreed to by all concerned, both Tchiani and Bazoum can face each other in an election, and by then, it is expected that Tchiani would have dropped his Khaki to contest for the post of President as a civilian, but certainly not whilst yet wearing khaki!

Need I remind my African brothers and sisters that if Africa does not finish Putin’s Russia and their Wagner Group, Putin’s Russia and Wagner Group will finish Africa?

MOTHER AFRICA: THE RESURRECTED FRONTIER AND THE BATTLE GROUND FOR THE WHITE AND BROWN ‘SAVIOURS’

Under the arrangement I’m proposing, whoever will win, gets into power legitimately.

Although, Tchiani is likely to win on his own, but in the coming days, months and years, since all Africa ignored my advice when over two decades ago I had been warning of recolonization, that time is here now with the occupation of Africa Land by donkeys, hawks, dragons and the polar bears who have just entered into the 21st century scramble for Africa as under the Westphalia Project of 1648 (the Treaties of Westphalia), culminating in the Berlin Conference of 1884-1845, where Africa was shared by the white saviours for the white saviours “like a piece of cake” amongst the white saviours.

AFRICA SHALL BE FREE

Going forward, Africa, unless she extricates herself from the clutches and the tentacles of the white and brown saviours – imperialism, neocolonialism, she will no longer be free nor sleep as African leadership has again as in the past, sold their people to the Arabs (jihad/sharia), the Europeans, Americans, Asians (China), Russians – even Turkey ma kpa-kpa – was Turkey not in Libya, despite my cry to Muhammadu Bu’ari?

OF MOON-LANDING & MOON-SIGHTING…INCREDIBLE INDIA, I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E INDIA!

India is on the uttermost part of the moon already, and will soon arrive in Africa to join the fray or the scramble for her own bar/s of choco, whilst all Nigerians, and all Africa are doing moon-sighting, and as they look up to sight the moon or to moon-sight or to do moon-sighting, the white and brown saviours/redeemers are carting or hurling Africa’s resources inside the trucks parked under their feet as they bestride these trucks gazing at the moon preparatory to the next miliki or Owambeganza!

ECHOES OF “APES OBEY”

In the past it was said whilst the missionaries handed the Bible to the Africans, told them to close their eyes for a prayer session, and whilst they were chorusing “Holy…” to the prayer of the missionaries for them - who were regurgitating to them: O’ Lord our Heavenly Father…” with the Africans responding, shaking, clapping and verbalizing: “Holy, holy, holy, holy…”, trucks were loading Africa’s resources to the sea – just as the Arabs on their own, handed the Koran, beads and the sword – and told the Africans, use these two to pray 24/7, and the sword, you must use it to slaughter yourselves, rather slaughters all kafirs, snatch all their ancestral lands and keep for us as Muslims Land and ensure you come over for the usual tourism as many times thou can, and ensure you bring all your money/resources.

As evident above, despite all these, there are still sick Europeans/Westerners, Americans, Asians and Russians out there mouthing excitedly in ignorance that Africa has not contributed anything to civilization: Let therefore, all those who still hold onto this ignorant and stupid views be told that Africa is not only the pioneer of civilization, agriculture as is known today, technology as is known today, but the home/mother land of/for all humanity.

And whilst all the world – Europe, America, Asia, Russia, the Arabs, etc, etc, are a possibility because of Africa; Africa is a possibility because of neither of them, because Africa is not only self-dependent and indeed, if not for the stupidity of the continent’s leadership, can be self-dependent because Africa does not need any of these nations and continent to live, exist, thrive, feed, survive and succeed.

The Abandonment of National Nationalism and the Triumph of Ethnic Nationalism

 

Reading: Nigeria’s national morality barometer is very dry right now.

 

Still troubled by the aftermaths of the February 25th, 2023 Presidential Election as conducted by the Nigerian Electoral Commission (NEC not INEC), eventuating in the swearing in of a notorious criminal as the rower/coxswain of the National boat NIGERIYANA, JOHN ODEY ADUMA, pondering on where the national boat is heading right now, including where we are now as a people and nation, decries not only the hijacking of governmental spaces by the Agberos in Government (AIG) now promoting streeting justice, philosophy and jurisprudence, but the emergent nativist press in Nigeria, cultural and political nativists who are now and have been promoting and ravenously spreading the worst type of bestial and monstrous bigotry. And in his scholarly dissection of their highly nativized and agberoic ideology, he exposes their nativism thus: Out of my ethnic nationality (tribe), region or zone, always something good, but out of the others – the other ethnic nationalities (tribes) and regions or zones, always something bad.

In pondering over the happenings in Nigeria, especially the events of the recent past as it concerns the bestial conduct and the monstrous outcome of the February 25th, 2023, Presidential Election, JOHN ODEY ADUMA writes that with all sense of responsibility, there has never been a time in all his born years that he has so groaned prophetically and in the spirit as now.

And in his declaration of the certainty of one thing, Mr Aduma concludes that whilst a person can have their say and judgement, it is in fact, God that has the final say and (judgment) verdict.

He thus reasons that the Almighty God will validate the just and overrule the rule (judgement) of man. Happy reading but be reflective and true to conscience and yourself.

"…the Impending Political Exothermicism and Endothermicism

Turning and turning in the widening gyre   

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere   

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst   

Are full of passionate intensity."

  • William Butler Yeats.

 

“Whilst Apostles of Amoda Ogunlere of Iragbiji in Osun State busy themselves advancing the gospel of Tinubu Crow, Agberocrazy and Omonileism, humiliating, maiming and killing those they have labelled “enemies” and “aliens”, especially Nigerian citizens of Ndigbo extraction and beating war drums, all former Heads of State and Presidents of Nigeria (General Yakubu Gowon, General Olusegun Obasanjo, General Ibrahim Gbadamosi Babangida, General Abdulsalami Abubakar,  Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, and the incumbent at whom this SOS of mine is primarily directed, must take this SOS of mine as a wakeup call as the nation once again, is just a few yards away from Roads 1962  and 1966.”

The Poet

There’s now a proverb in all Nigeria: First deconfluence.”

  • John Odey Aduma.

 

To live and to die here,

either naturally or of some worldly causes,

to be together and not to separate,

to unite and not to divide,

to abound and never lack,

to rejoice and not to mourn,

to be happy and not to be saddened,

to grow and not to decrease,

to bloom and not to dry up,

to advance and not to retreat,

to multiply and not to depopulate,

to build and not to destroy,

to build up and never tear down one another,

to pull up and not to pull down,

to agree to disagree, and to disagree to agree,

not making oneself a bystander in the Nigerian affairs

but standing up for the nation in all things aimed

at justice and fair play

and not some of the things,

and never resorting to ethnicity –

clannism, provincialism, religiosity, bigotry,

ethnic irridentism, nepotism and unfavourable

treatments of the other citizens nor compromising

national ethics, values, standards, integrity,

but upholding and respecting national institutions

and obeying the laws of the land,

applying competitive performance,

rather than hereditary privilege in all national

appointments and not resorting

to war through (our) deeds and misdeeds,

to have a breathing space and not a shrinking space,

to progress and not to retrogress or regress,

to excel and never to fail,

to be victorious and never to be vanquished,

to be above and never to be beneath,

to be the head and not the tail,

to lead and not to take the back seat,

to keep on keeping on and never to give up,

to be put in mansions/castles

and not to be bagged in body bags,

to bless and not to curse,

to be blessed and not to be cursed,

to enjoy the fatness of the land

flowing with milk and honey,

to sow and to harvest,

to live together and not to scatter,

to love and not to hate.

 

God gave us this country as co-equal,

co-founder, co-joiner and not as masters and slaves,

to live wherever we choose in this our God’s beloved nation,

to walk together, work together

for the betterment of our country,

to prosper together and share with

the poor and the needy in our midst.

 

God has given us this land to till,

to plough and reap its superabundance,

and not to leave it fallow and die of famine without food,

to develop and not to retrogress,

to be free and not to be enslaved,

to trust one another and not fear and distrust one another,

to live and let live and not to be constantly

hounded as if we were preys in the jungle,

to give and take and not to be selfish and greedy,

to share equally all of its superabundance

and not for the few and their multi-national collaborators to plunder,

and take as their own all of its resources and wealth.

 

God gave us this land for the many and all; and not for the few.

God gave this country to all Nigerians,

and not some Nigerians nor a few Nigerians, but to all Nigerians.

God gave us this nation that all Nigerians might be equal

and not that some may be more equal than the others.

God gave us this nation to live together in peace

and harmony with one another,

and not to kill and devour one another,

nor for some to carry others in body bags nor for “blood

of dogs and baboons” to flow ceaselessly.

 

God gave us this country

to dissect, analyse, dialogue and to talk over our national problems,

argue and agree to disagree, concede and compromise,

and arrive at a conclusion that will be nationally

beneficial to all the Nigerian citizens – the stakeholders.

God gave us this Republic to build a nation of inclusivity,

and not a nation of exclusivity, where a few feeds fat on the sweat of others.

 

God gave us this Democracy

to be liberated and not live in perpetual slavery and suffering,

to abound and not lack

So that when we sleep at night our sleep shall be sweet

and not have our homes besieged and petrol poured

over our houses and be burnt all with our families inside

by the rampaging stick-wielding and AK-47-carrying

Philistines and night marauders in our midst.

 

God gave us this land to have a sense of belonging

and not to feel perpetually excluded and cut off.

God gave us this political kingdom to thrive, multiply,

and rule the world and not as a fiefdom nor a vassal

for the lords from the East and Futa Toro

to enslave and keep us perpetually backward,

so citizens retire to sleep hungry,

whilst others eat and throw away.

 

God gave us this country to celebrate ourselves

as Nigerians and our diversity and to be celebrated by

all the nations around us and all the world, and all humanity,

and not to be scorned, spat upon, killed, maimed and destroyed,

and afterwards be treated like a social pariah.

And just as no roses without thorns,

to enjoy peace and tranquillity

as well as troubles and chaos –

the bad, the worst, the good and the terrible

as in the colour of the confluenced Niger and Benue.

 

God gave us this country to ensure every Nigerian receives their

just share of the inheritance and entitlement of our Commonwealth

and not for some to remain perpetually as scavengers foraging crumbs at the country’s dump sites.

God gave us this country to serve and be served.

 

God gave us this political kingdom of ours to enrich and not to impoverish, to develop, blossom and flourish

and not to be in famine of Biblical proportion always

and die for lack of food,

to build an egalitarian society of fraternal proximity

and **kwenskwently attain nationhood,

to glory and care for one another,

and not to be greedy and selfish,

to worship Him in this land

and not any other gods or goddesses elsewhere.

Nor any persons nor fellow human beings.

And in this home of giants, we are created equal,

and not for anyone to dominate us perpetually,

and afterwards become filled with “Born to Rule” Mentality (BRM).

Thus, we are all here to live and let live:

All here to co-exist;

All here to love and be loved;

All here to share;

All here to be at peace with one another;

All here to grow, advance and prosper;

And all here to flourish and bloom.

“I think your book is excellent. In an ideal world, that book should be given to every head-teacher in the country. If I were a head I'd pick three messages every week and display them prominently, say in the entrance and /or assembly hall so every pupil could see them.  

Congratulations

A DISSECTION OF GLOBAL YOUTH VIOLENCE & ZERO YOUTH MORALITY

THE BLURB

Why does one youngster stab another with a knife which they will never, ever dare to stab themselves with? Why are our young people killing themselves without thinking of the pains and sorrow such barbarism and bestiality will leave their loved ones with for the rest of their lives? Why do some young persons - members of the same community prey on one another with such jungle-like ferocity in the nation’s cities? Why, why are there now so many of such gruesome, purposeless, wicked and unwarranted killings in the nation’s cities as if Britain is now a land that devours its children? More worrisome is the fact that when they are hacked to death so young, what happens to their dreams, visions, goals and aspirations?

Heart-rending as these painful questions are, Be A Beacon of Hope in the World: A Message to Young Britain does not attempt to offer answers to these puzzles arising from the untimely deaths of Britain’s children through knifings. However, it seeks to act as a guidepost, compass and a Sat Nav to point young persons in the direction of the good way and on the path of civility, decency, common sense, humaneness and universal altruism, whereupon they are expected to have respect, first for themselves, for others and for all of life’s forms. Therefore, let the alarm bell which this book has triggered off to warn all young persons in Britain and the world over that to live in the fast lane is to die young, reverberate through the vista of time.

BOLA AHMED TINUBU, PASTOR-HAJIA REMI TINUBU & APC, “I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies. Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; and the peace offerings of your fattened animals, I will not look upon them. Take away from me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen. But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream,” Amos 5:21-24.

And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:

When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.”
