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 (OUR NIGERIA) the world.

 

W.B. Yeats, 'The Second Coming'

According to the Great Zik of Africa a broken bottle has no "mekwatalism"...You cannot put together a broken bottle as in the picture.

The current Nigerian Federation is as fragile as the eggs in this basket...a word is enough for the wise!

Therefore, HANDLE WITH CARE...neither too tight, nor too lose!

THE STRUGGLE FOR SUPREMACY AMONGST THE CALIPHATE DELUSIONISTS IN NIGERIA - WHO'S IN CHARGE...THE SULTAN OF SOKOTO AMIRUL MU'MININ ALHAJI AMUHAMMADU SA'ADU ABUBAKAR III OR CHINDO YAMUSA II MUHAMMADU BUHARI, BABA NORTH?

Who really is in charge of Nigeria, Buhari or this man?The Sultan, a local traditional ruler in Nigeria, like any king presiding over any extant kingdom within Nigeria's current Federation, seems to have the knack for swift responses to national issues more than Muhammadu Buhari, the supposed President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and his Arewa-led Presidency. Two recent national ugliness come handy: The Nnamdi Kanu-resurrected Biafran quest for their own Republic and the Iranian-funded Shi'ites pestilences in Nigeria which brought them into a head on collision recently with Muhamamdu Buhari's predatory Killing Squad resulting in the mindless massacre of between 800-1000 Nigerians of the ever convulsive and supra-eruptive Shi'ite sect led by the ultra-fanatical and greedy Ibrahim El-Zakzaky collecting money from Iran to destroy Nigeria in the battle between the Saudi Arabia Sunni-sponsored supremacy contest with the Iranian-financed Shi'ites sect , which if not nipped in the bud, will make Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Sudan v South Sudan's wars a child's play! Why should the Sultan of Sokoto always lead other traditional rulers in Nigeria when such privilege should be rotated amongst frontline traditional rulers, knowing full well, no kingdom in Nigeria, especially in the South is an extension of the Sokoto Emirate Council? Why must the Sultan continue to monopolise the spiritual headship of all Muslims in Nigeria perpetually, when this too ought to be rotated? More, why is it that it's ONLY the Hausa-Fulani muslims that lead prayers whenever occasion warrants all Muslims in Nigeria to come together? At the backgound of all our problems as a people, is this domination and monopolization of every space of our national life by our Hausa and Fulani brothers and sisters, a situation which has given rise to their characteristic arrogance, leaving them with the BORN TO RULE MENTALITY, whilst seeing other Nigerians as merely ABEEDS and KAFIRS. All this nonsense has got to stop and usher in public space and socio-cultural democracy as well as political and economic democracy as against the current militarization and theocratization of our national life. Life is all about letting go, living and let live, this is the great message of life our Hausa-Fulani brothers and sisters are yet to imbibe and embrace, and until they humble themselves and esteem every other Nigerian better than themselves and bury their trademark superiority complex, OUR NIGERIA SHALL NOT KNOW PEACE, nevertheless, NIGERIA SHALL PREVAIL!

BUHARI'S NIGERIAGHANISTAN...IN THE BLACKNESS OF DARKNESS

Since it is now clear to all and sundry the world over that Mr Muhammadu Buhari believes that wisdom only comes with age, and that the only good Southerners/Christians are pastors, it is my candid advice to him to appoint his advisers, board appointments and other political appointments he is going to make henceforth, from ONLY amongst those who have attained the wisdom ages of 100-250 years - and regarding his legendary disdain for Southerners and Christians, he should comb the Christian community wide to take the greedy and now men of mammon and cassock politicians from off MY FATHER'S HOUSE, since he thinks Uthman Dan Fodio has more mansions to accommodate the political pastors looking for crumbs from him and his AREWA GOVERNMENT, having just given Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Yorubas generally, 'pieces of bone' to chew and 'feeding bottle' to suck to buy time for his other hidden agenda which he will soon let out of his prized Gamji bag, such as will include the search for oil in the desert, hence he made himself the oil minister, but failed to appear before the TAKE-A-BOW-AND-GO jesters in that DOME OF SHAME; diverting /transferring water from Central African Republic to resurrect Lake Chad, the Grazing Land Bill; endless loans, devaluation of the naira; removal of oil subsidy, austerity measures; staff auditing; river Niger dredgging; mega dams (KIV), etc.

Despite the fact that the first generation of Nigerians who took over from the colonialists, both civilians and military were really, really very young, Buhari himself who was to become the Governor of North Eastern State at age 33, Federal Commissioner of Petroleum and Natural Resources at 34 and Head of State at just age 43 (!), it appears to the concerned world that Buhari has no respect for the saying that WISDOM KNOWS NO AGE as for him wisdom does know age - his disgusting and embarrassing preference for the very old and senile in society who now dominate his AREWA GOVENMENT, are instructive.

All along, although Muhammadu Buhari has been in Nigeria, even though dreaming of NIGERIAGHANISTAN, he has shown a complete lack of attention to the instructive inscription on the luxurious buses plying East which he loves to hate with unquenchable hatred: THE YOUNG SHALL GROW!

Unarguably, since the start of the journey in 1960, Nigeria has not made any conscious efforts to train, groom and nurture its next generation of leaders, rather what has been the vogue is, every generation, especially when a new Government is in place and is actually to assume governmental functions, one or two privileged young idiots from the NIGERIA RULING HOUSE are sadwiched in between these senile old men, so also, in the military, police and virtually all the other sectors of the Nigerian polity and economy, the gang of these privileged 'babies' on buggies are the ones that have been positioned as the next generation of Generals, IGPS and industry chieftains. So why wouldn't there be crimes of unimaginable magnitude in that country when a society is built and structured like this?

These deliberate greed and purposeless malignity do not only explain the dearth of leaders in Nigeria and indeed, Africa, but the current restiveness amongst African youth including the young Nigerians now calling for the establishment of the Biafran State.

Many a youth in Nigeria and Africa see no purpose to live in an environment they have been perpetually consigned to rot at the basement of their countries social strata or ladder. Thus, in the midst of life's seeming meaninglessness, social victims and casualties are prepared to avenge a society that had wronged them and depossessed them of their life's natural entitlements in the commonwealth and life's comfort and conveniences by doing maximum violence as we have had in the prevalence of all sorts of crimes, OPC, the Niger Delta militants, Maitasine riots, now Boko Haram and in the echoes of the rumblings, the tremors, impending earthquake and the raging inferno from the East, which has the capacity and potential of snowballing into a universal conflagration of immense proportion. And apart from the ones we already have on hand, there are many hydra-headed dangers on their way, whilst the ignominious reign of 'King Rehoboam' lasts.

What is more worrisome is that since Mr Muhari's second time misadventure in power, he has shown in words and deeds that he does not care a hoot about our Nigeria, but NIGERIAGHANISTAN and his Arab and Western Masters to whom he usually reports Nigerians and their so-called "unruly behaviours", whilst in a fit of his usual nervous, incurable psychological inadequacy, accute senility, absent-mindedness, the fear of facing the world and being in the midst of the very well equipped world leaders from City, Oxford Cambridge, LSE, Imperial, Yale and Havard in camparison to a man who had merely been marched from the palace to the military academy and subsequently thrust to the fore of national and international arena by virtue of his ethnic origin and his claim to Arabism as evidenced in his trademark grasshopper complex.

Apart from his penchant hatred for young persons, Mr Muhari does not care about children, hence he teamed up with his wife and other jihadists and Arabists in the Presidency to chase out Nigerian children of the Christian faith from their place of worship in order to stuff foodstuffs therein, but I'd like for Pastor Oluleke Osinbajo to dare the VICE PRESIDENT in Kaduna by telling his jihadi boss the utmost word of truth that when the 'Buharis' in Bible times tried to drive away little children from coming to our Lord Jesus Christ, He who came from the excellent glory warned:

Matthew 19:14 King James Version (KJV) 14 "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." And in Proverbs 22:6, it is written: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”

Equally, Mr Buharass has demonstrated to the world and posterity that he does not care about women, especially Nigerian/African women and has not an iota of regard for them whatsoever, and hates them with unquantifiable hatred - the very vessels through whom God usually uses to bring all human beings including children and himself to the world and who also, ensure life's continuity and the march of civilization. Mr Buhypocrite will not shake hands with any woman in Nigeria, but he will go abroad to shake his female boss, Angela Merkel of Germany whose intimidating aura and presence make Mr Buhari to shake like a reed in the hand of a stormy gale.

Although it is very certain Bupretender hates these folks and the Christian South with unparalleled hatred, it is not sure which comes first in his hate hierarchy. Mr Muhammadu Buhari is a thoroughly confused man trapped in Khaki and agbada at the same time, turbaned in Islamism and Arabism of the Salafism brand, yet pretends to be a democrat. He carries religion on his head as Fulani women would kunu round the ancient Kano city market and ties the sword of tyranny about his two-two arms like a desperate herdsman on a journey to the rainforest from the savanna taking his cattle to graze down South with a longish stick of insensitivity held tightly across his shoulders which all unfeeling herdsboys with relish use in hitting errant cows furiously to their great delight and in the process bring down a greedy cattle egret perched on the hunch back of the cow that had just received one or two wicked hits from the unfeeling Frani boy (Fulani boy).

In the name of God and good conscience, will the young ever grow in Nigeria? And will they ever grow under the yoke of Buhari?

It is very easy for Muhammadu Buhari and that ever lying and loquacious minister of Mis-information and Corrupture, Lai Mohammed the arch-liar of the Federation to lie to young people and children and deceive them by promising them heaven and earth, moon and stars, free meals, viagras and virgins, N5, 000 to every jobless youth and every vulnerable person in Nigeria (EVPIN), which they are owing each N35, 000 now since the seven months of his DO-NOTHING and ignominious reign began on May 29th, 2015, when the realistic reality is that that country cannot pay her workers the current national minimum wage of £50-£60 per month, going by the current exchange rate, because in Buhari's humanity equation and as an UREALISTIC REALIST AND DECEIVER, youth don't matter. What is more, according to his Gospel THE YOUNG SHALL NOT GROW! And any young Nigerian waiting for N5, 000 or N35, 000 for the seven shameful months is a fool, and all Nigerians waiting for CHANGE from this Arewa/Arab Government will get AUSTERITY MEASURES, REMOVAL OF OIL SUBSIDY, DEVALUATION OF THE NAIRA, ACCUTE UNEMPLOYMENT, SORROW UPON SORROW, CRISES UPON CRISES, CRIES UPON CRIES, WEEPING UPON WEEPING, VIOLENCE UPON VIOLENCE, BLOOD UPON BLOOD AND DEATH UPON DEATH!

But I can assure EVERY BUHARI in Nigeria that since they don't want the youth to grow, they are only making a time bomb of all of them! He who has ears to hear let him hear.

Lastly, a voice ringing across the vista of time warns all Buharis, their agents and cronies to ruminate on the fact that the youth of every nation are that nation's continuity and assets and without the youth, there's no tomorrow and without tomorrow life ceases to be and without life, there's is no existence.

THE GENERAL LIED

Muhammadu Buhari lied to the world at the recent Paris Protocol on Climate Change that climate change was reponsible for the shrinking of Lake Chad, but climate change did not take front row in my 24-year investigations at various times about the ecology of the Northern States of Nigerian which enabled me in these past 24 years to traverse the length and breath of Northern Nigeria, one of such many efforts of which was recognised with the award of the DIAMOND AWARDS FOR MEDIA EXCELLENCE AS REPORTER OF THE YEAR, prensented to me in 1993 by Professor Jerry Gana, the then Minister of Information and Culture at a colourful ceremony held then at the Nigerian Institute of Interntional Affairs, Victoria Island in Lagos. Please see my special investigation titled: Imminence of Ecological Apocalypse published in The Guardian on Sunday on November 29, 1992.

This special report of mine generated international outcry/uproar at the time and anyone who wants to know the truth about the ecology of Northern Nigeria including the herdmen's incessant clashes with farmers all over Nigeria must read this report and the current minister of Environment must do well to read all my enviromental reports spanning decades, if she really does care about the Nigerian environment and really wants to know the truth and afterwards be disposed towards doing something about all of our envronmental problems.

The truth about the shrinking/drying up of Lake Chad and other river systems in the Northern States of Nigeria was the General Yakubu Gowon's stupid policy of GREENING THE NORTH aimed at placing the North ahead of the South agriculturally. That stupid programme which later backfired and hastened desertification processes all over the North resulting in dust bowls of unimaginable proportion, saw the contruction of mega dams and massive irrigation projects without the needed enviromental impact assesment (EIA) carried out.

Amongst such mega dams are the Tiga and Challawa Gorge Dams - one of my many investigation as an environmental journalist led to the stoppage of the Kafin Zaki mega dam project by the Sani Abacha Government as my findings generated international outcry which led the then Nigerian Government to take up the matter with the German Government whose Julius Berger was given the contract at the time as my findings revealed the fact that over 500, 000 people would be displaced, were the project allowed to go ahead in addition to displacing traditional farmers and impacting heavily/negatively on livestock and grazing lands, amongst many other deleterious effects the mega dam would have had on the people and the ecology of the Northern States of Nigeria.

In the course of my investigations over the years, factors such as population, human activities, massive irrigation projects using big water pumps, over grazing and natural occurrences such as climate change, which of course, has been with man since the Bible times were also identified as contributing to the desiccation of Lake Chad and most river systems in the Northern States of Nigeria.

On the drying up of Lake Chad and other water systems, the whole truth is that Gowon's mega dams and massive irrigation projects are to blame - and international ecologists, environmentalists, researchers and Western journalists have by their findings corroborated my conclusions over the years - and their findings together with mine have been well documented at international level, thus international enviromentalists including this writer were embarrassed by the President's untruth about Lake Chad at the just concluded Paris Protocol.

I challenge the President of Nigeria and that nation's Environment Minister AMINA MOHAMMED to a debate at CHATHAM HOUSE, the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London, if after reading this article, they both still hold strongly that the desiccation of Lake Chad and other river systems in the Northern States of Nigeria is the direct effect of climate change and not the conclusion of my 24-year investigations on the ecology of Northern Nigeria.

Whilst this malady lasted, flood plains which were the natural outlets for river waters to drain into during very heavy rainfalls and redistribute some into other associated water outlets such as tributaries were all converted by Generals and prominent traditional rulers into mechanised farms, where they used heavy pumps to get waters from the rivers to irrigate their farms - this explains the general floodings all over the country today as such naturally very fertile flood plains and hitherto water outlets as you have in Lekki Peninsula, Osborne Road, Apapa, Maroko, other areas of Ikoyi, Victoria Island, amongst many, too numerous to mention here, were sandfilled by Nigeria's big men and women - amongst whom are Generals to erect their obscene and generally disgusting mansions and castles.

During all my investigations, for the sake of fatherland, humanity and posterity, I risked my life by naming these Generals and their cronies one by one, but all I got were threats to my life with Ibrahim GBADAMOSI Babangida and Sani Abacha doing nothing.

When I was investigating the menace of errosion and floodings round the whole country, Chief John Odigie Oyegun, then in his capacity as the Governor of Edo State was one of those top level executives I had interviewed and when I shared my findings round Edo State with him, with the worst affected areas of the State such as Benin, all the areas of Benin moats, Ikpoba hill area, Ososo, Irua, Auchi, Orhionmwon, etc, he said then that even spending the whole budget of his State for a year would not be enough, but today Adamsmumu Oshiomouth is borrowing money hastily to attend to the menace in the State and my advice to him is that he must first count the cost and stop plunging Edo State deeper and deeper into serious debts!

Just as Buhari had displayed gross ignorance before the world in his haste to want to borrow money or go into the so-called partnership with who may care, Jonathan similarly as a supposed scientist said during the flood menace in and around the county that more dams should be constructed to stop the yearly flooding, these two HOW I FOR DO (how-for-do(?) Presidents, know nothing about their environment and the burning issues at hand.

It must be stressed that when I'm writing and talking about the whole of the Nigerian environment, I am writing and talking as a pioneer environmental journalist/activist; I'm writing and speaking as a concerned and very proud, but humble citizen of the FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, a citizen of no mean counry who believes without owing anyone anywhere any apologies, whatsoever that AFTER NIGERIA, THERE'S NO OTHER COUNTRY ON THE PLANET EARTH; I'm also writing and talking as a concerned citizen and an insider, an eye witness, an international investigative journalist. My involvment in the Nigerian environment came before the likes of Ken Saro Wiwa arrived on the environmental scene.

And putting the record straight, it was NOT Ken Saro Wiwa who internationalised the environmental problems of the Niger Delta as naive and ignorant world have been made to believe over the years, but the Yorkshire Television crew! And I was the ONLY Nigerian journalist who was on hand to interview them about their findings when they returned from the field, and efforts of such international researchers as Professor John Oates of the Hunter College of the City University of New York and our own Dr Pius Anadu who later became the Executive Director of the Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF), which I covered consistently for 9 years, must not be forgotten, for Oates and Anadu carried out the biodiversity survey of the whole of the Niger Delta up to the Republic of Benin - and in one of such many research surveys, Prof John Oates and I slept together at the then Okomu Forest Reserve, which through our collective campaign, with Mr Phil Hall, A.P. Leventis and and my great mentor and boss, Mr Romeo Barberopoulos who were largely instrumental to all of these investigations and surveys of the Nigerian environment - South and North, was upgraded to a National Park.

At another time and year, I still remember spending my 1993 Christmas at Okomu Forest alongside a host of other international researchers and investigators from various nations of the world, where we all celebrated our Christmas and the New Year of 1994 at then P & T compound/Guest House and in many other similar investigations, I slept in one of the Leventis houses right in the deep of Okomu Forest with rancorous noises of wild animals and reptiles, and during recreation and sight-seeing climbed the tallest tree house in Africa - or is it in the world (?) in the company of the renowned British ecologist, Mr Phill Hall who has done so much very positively for the Nigerian environment, more that all the Nigerian Governments put together from 1960s till date - such a positive force in our midst deserves (a) national award/s

Come to think of it, in line with Nigerians' way of thinking, shouldn't we create along side the Niger Delta Affairs Ministry such other ministries as BIAFRA, HERDSMEN (PASTORALISTS), FLOOD, BOKO HARAM, DESERTIFICATION, EBOLA, EROSION, FREE MEALS, FREE ALAWEE, CALABAR YEARLY FLESH EXHIBITION, especially for Carnival Ben, that Presidency Kangaroo, jumping about the place and hopping in and around Buhari instead of sitting down to govern our people, turning our PARADISE to Sodom and Gomorah and Corinth of the modern world, etc? Here again, I'm calling for the scrapping of the Niger Delta Affairs Ministry, having done so many times in the past and all of its departments distributed amongst the Ministries of Environment, Agriculture and Rural Development, and Water Resources.

GOD IS NOT A FOOL...HOW MAN DESTROYED PARADISE

God gave our earth to man as a paradise and made him a caretaker to oversee this paradise, but led by greed and corruption, man played smart and wantonly destroyed this paradise with glee by carrying out his so-called development projects without the needed Environmental Impact Assessesment (EIA), and deluding himself that he has conquered the environment began to sandfill major, medium and minor river outlets - tributaries, flood plains with his sky-reaching cranes as the hallmark of his technological, engineering and scientific ingenuity, but no sooner did he settle down on these flood plains, tributaries, deltas and other river outlets he had converted into living places after the erection of his obscene mansions, castles, high rise/skyscrappers that today dot the cities of the world than the waters he had driven aground through sandfillings and excess waters from adjoining and nearby waters, streams, rivers, seas and oceans during heavy rains and ocassional melting of the artic ice came by way of unimaginable floods of immense magnitude/volume to demand their right of way and this was done with the fierce force of angry Mother Nature who is always impatient with man's crass stupidity, arrogance and gross inconsideration.

Whilst the same man today buck pass and blame everything on climate change, he must take a pause, search his conscience to see how much damage he as the caretaker of this our paradise has done to mother earth, and he would soon realise that this our paradise was entrusted to him to multiply, replenish and not to destroy!

Early this year, I warned the whole world in my writings that floods are coming, some of them have arrived; some will soo arrive; some are on their way; some have just started their journey; some are just about to start; some have not started, but will soon start; some are thinking of starting and some are preparing to start with each set/group more fierce/dreadful and more destructive than those before it. The devastation/havoc/destruction they will bring will be such that some countries, cities, local communities development projects, living places in low lying coastal areas of the world will either submerge or will be swept away as in the First Flood.

The advanced economies with all their much vaunted technological advancement do not fare better in any least way as far as irresponsible and unethical developments are concerned just as the the so-called Third World nations - development projects and living places are constructed on floodplains, sandfilled areas/creeks/deltas/environments on hitherto minor, medium and major river outlets, where excess waters are naturally meant to drain and empty into for redistribution and sharing onto the chains of these natural water systems as designed by the Greatest Architect Himself and the Sole Maker/Designer and Creator of the Universe. God is not stupid, you know!

BETWEEN PAINFUL CHOICES AND THE FOLLY OF NOT RELOCATING TO SAFE AND SECURE PLACES FROM FLOOD-PRONE AREAS

First, as a memebr of the broad human family the world over, my heart goes out to all victims of flood and all those suffering it currently. Generally speaking, stubborness is human nature, and I know many a home owner living in flooded areas and are experiencing floodings currently will not like to relocate, even if enticed with the budgets of nations, they will rather dare the fury of the gods and die where they consider as their birth places and roots. But it is foolhardy to so do, if such people have the spiritual gifting to see what I'm seeing as I roam my crystal glass in and around the world over all the world's flood-prone areas. My candid advice is that they need to move out quickly.

Governments of nations must take the very hard choices of demolishing some houses to resurrect all those natural water outlets that have been blocked by development projects as excess waters sure do need right of way to save the whole of humanity from this now constant sorrows and anguish. The solutions to floodings go beyond government's cosmetics of providing sand bags, installing open-mouthed water pumps to pump waters from affected homes/compounds/areas back into the rivers and seas, nor does it lie in mere dredging of the nearby or adjoining rivers.

But the fact lies in accepting the fact that some gross errors arising from developmemts had been committed and addressing such developmemtal errors require hard decisions to be taken, such as if looked at superficially would give the impression that a particular Government is crassly insensate.

That hard decision is: PULL DOWN AS MANY HOUSES AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE WAYS FOR EXCESS WATERS. This should be followed by a careful rumination on the hydrological history/map of a given environment to see the various types of water outlets/bodies that naturally existed prior to development - and water/river outlets MUST be resurrected if anyone out there is seriously thinking of addressing the perenial floodings in these days of climate change.

But in carrying out developments in low lying coastal areas, why did all concerned not first count the cost; why were there no EIA/S - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT/STUDY conducted or carried out before development/s?

Again, God is not stupid in that in and around all water bodies across the globe, a careful hydrological observation would reveal that certain trees, mangrove forests, swampy forests, grasses, sands and soils that will act as stabilizing agents in times of excess waters abound - they are naturally meant to suck in/drain waters and provide the needed vegeta covers for the areas around the water bodies, but man has destroyed all of these for pecuniary gains and by so doing, expose the land mass around these water bodies to intractable erosions/floodings.

Once most buildings are made to go, creating natural ways for the free flow of waters in normal times and periods of excesses, the next important thing to do is to bring back such vegeta covers, so as to protect the areas around the water bodies.

And where people are still tempted to build in and around water bodies, careful plannings are needed to be preceded by EIA, followed by the question: Will there be any daring-do insurer to insure economic projects including residential properties in such flood-prone areas?

What should be the nature of developments in all low lying coastal areas or such other erosion/flood-prone areas of the world?

I would suggest a very massive-solid high walls/fences be erected in and around the shores of the water bodies, but must be percolated to allow excess waters to drain or exit through them back into the main water channels/ways.

Before erecting/putting up residential buildings, pillars of about 12 feet have to be erected, made so solid, expansive, massive and strong such that buildings can be constructed on top of these massive/solid pillars to allow free flow of waters underneath. These pillars must be such as able to withsatnd the volume, force, rise of waters and winds on whatever scale.

On the premises of the buildings, there could be several percolated man-hole covers to allow for draining of waters into, including having gutters, multiple pumps and other devices installed.

And not forgetting, all experts in the built industry, including insurers, psychologists and sociologists must be assembled for a robust debate before the commencement of any development or residential buildings and before the final approval is considered and approved.

Also, in some countries like the United Kingdom, buildings are erected too, too close to water bodies and on water bodies. This was the first error of development I spotted on arrival in the UK, having gone round to get myself acquainted with the style of developments to compare them with what we have in Nigeria and got up to St Paul's, School, not far away from the River Thames, I was scared stiff to see how very close the houses there were to the river and did really feel then and up till now that rather than having buildings so close to the rivers and other water systems, in between the rivers and living quarters, there should rather have recreational/leisure grounds/or places/gardens, so that in the event of any ontological disequilibrium, the recreational grounds/places/centres can act as wind/water break or reduction and before the waters and the winds can get to where people are actually living, virtually all the people would have had the time to escape and the forces of nature would have been drastically reduced to minimise damages.

I remember having a heated arguement at a Christian Fellowship with a Nigerian who claimed he is an engineer, yet knew next to nothing about obvious consequences of such foolhardy in human community, not only in Britain, but all over the world. He got carried away by what he called the technological genius of Britain, but despite his uncouth mannerism, crass ignorance and naivety, he was screaming out, not even when another Nigerian told him I was an environmentalist with extensive experience about the global environment, so knew my onions inside out, would he yield ground. But as God would have it, just that same week of the arguement, there were heavy floodings in parts of Britain after a downpour with maximum damages as I had analysed and predicted.

This our so-called engineer couldn't get back to me, it was the Nigerian pastor in whose house the fellowship was held that phoned to broach the matter of floodings, whilst thanking God for giving me such wonderful insight into things that are hidden from many.

If we really do need to combat floodings world wide, we all need to do the first thing first, and do we must what is first needful! But more than anything, the waters are also coming from the ground!

 

OF FASHOLA'S SO-CALLED TRIPPLETS FOR BOLA TINUBU AND BUHARI'S/AREWA'S YET TO UNFOLD HIDDEN AGENDA

Whilst BAT basks in the euphoria of a Fashola giving him 'triplets', my advice to my Yoruba brothers and sisters in the word of the great Hubert Ogunde is: YORUBA RONU! And as a student of Nigerian history, I will advise euphoric BAT to learn a lesson from Sakonfa, the mythical bird in Akan folklore, meaning LOOK BACK and as it concerns the Yorubas - to 1817 when Alimi the Fulani slave having helped General Afoja to win his war against the Oyos turned round to kill him and since then till this day, the Fulanis seized Ilorin from the Yorubas who have remained tongue-tied till date and through Femi Ogundipe, S.L. Akintola, Obafemi Awolowo, Dele Giwa who by the enemies calculation was a Yoruba in name, M.K.O Abiola and his wife, Kudirat, Alfred Rewane, Tunde Elegbede, Oladipo Diya, Abdul Kareem Adisa, Ernest Shonekan, Bola Ige, Olusegun Obasanjo up to Adekunle Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Oluleke Osinbanjo, who is merely occupying space in the Presidency with the real VICE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA living in Kaduna, once arrogant Ahmadu Bello's Fort!

GIVING A PRIDE OF PLACE TO SAMUEL LADOKE AKINTOLA AS ONE OF THE EARLY INITIATORS OF THE HAND SHAKE ACROSS THE NIGER

The modern political alliance in Nigeria initially between Ndigbo Zik's NCNC (National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons) - Ahmadu Bello's NPC (Northern People Congress) Arewa/Uthman Dan Fodio Ruling House, but was truncated after the July 15th 1966 coup, very erroneously believed to have been carried out by Ndigbo military elements due mainly to the fact that the Igbo officers were in the majority, despite the fact that the supposed, but arguably ring leader of the coup, Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu was from Okpanam in the then Mid-Western Region of Nigeria, now in the present Delta State, but born and bred in Kaduna, and merely had Igbo roots!

The high level suspicion that coup engendered, coupled with the enmity that came with it afterwards, further worsened the primordial enmity and high level suspicion that had existed between the two ethnic nationalities from time immemorial, a situation which makes both do often live like cats and dogs, thus displacing Ndigbo from the Nigerian political equation and erased them from the Nigerian political canvass - perpetually or temporarily? And if the latter, then for how long?

The Yorubas following that coup took advantage of that lacuna when Obafemi Awolowo after a careful reflection had a change of mind and explored and embraced the option of the "hand shake" across the Niger and teamed up with the Arewa military Government often mistaken as the Nigerian Military Government led by their well known stooge, Yakubu Gowon, not only as the leader of the intellectual architect of that Government, but also, as Federal Commissioner for Finance, 1967-1971.

But history has been very unkind to Samuel Ladoke Akintola (SLA), as one of the frontline Yoruba leaders in the then Western Region who spear-headed the 'hand shake across the Niger' when he declutched some of his kins people from the clutches and stranglehold of Obafemi Awolowo at a time when it was not very popular amongst the Yorubas to so do, due to Obafemi Awolowo's parochialism, inflexibility, incorrigibility and stranglehold on the then Western Regional politics by forming an alliance with the then Northern People's Congress through his Nigerian National Democratic Party (NNDP) in 1965, a defiance, especially with his soured relationship with Femi Awolowo, which exacerbated the already bad blood between him and the latter ocassioned by the duo's struggle for supremacy, spiralling into, first a regional conflagration known then as OPERATION WETIE in 1962 - and this inferno was to later engulfed the whole country, consequent upon the first military coup of January 15, 1966, believed to have been spear-headed, arguably, by Major Kaduna Nzeogwu, culminating in the civil war of January 15, 1967, lasting 30 months.

Whilst it is to SLA that credit must go for leading his political party to join the NPC in the Arewa-Oodua Alliance, the individual and patriotic and nationalistic zeals of such political giants as Adeniran Ogunsanya, whose unquetionable loyalty to the Great Zik of Africa, did not only make him the alter-ego of the great man, but till date remains unbeaten and a transparent example of loyalty and offers a case study in that rare virtue as displayed by Chief Adeniran Ogunsanya, one of Nigeria's supra legal luminary; also, individual efforts of Theophilus Owolabi Shobowale Benson, Chief Adisa Meredith Akinloye, a famed sagacious politician in his own right, although not exempted from human foibles and hubris; Chief Richard Akinjide, a supra nationalist of no mean degree, believed arguably to be the originator of the infamous 2/3 of 19; others were the Cicero of Ibadan himself, Adegoke Adelabu of the Penkele Messi fame (Peculiar Mess); Victor Babaremilekun Adetokunboh Fani-Kayode, a.k.a "Fani Power", who in 1959 decamped to NCNC from the Action Group and later to the NNDP, whereupon in 1963 he was elected Deputy Premier of the then Western Region, another legal giant of the era, Olufemi Okunnu, who later became the Federal Commissioner for Works and Housing between 1967-1974 under General Yakubu Gowon.

In spite of the nationalistic endeavours of these great Nigerians of Yoruba ethnic nationality - lamentably, Obafemi Awolowo continued to dominate the Yoruba politics like a colossus, all because of the tax relief the Western Regional Government gave to the Yoruba's, always mistaken as free education, whereas parents/guardians then paid in other sectors including payment of their statutory taxes. Awo and his Government failed to interpret and explain the TAX RELIEF ON EDUCATION to Nigerians in the then Western Region, he simply cashed in on the ignorance and naivety of his people!

As a matter of fact, the idea of the so-called free education, national minimum wage and the so-called free health care services came from Fabian Society, the think-tank of the British Labour Party (BLP), where Obafemi Awolowo as a member of the society whilst studying in London got the idea from Sidney Webb, 1859-1947 and his wife Beatrice Webb 1858-1943, two of Fabian's great icons.

***Below is an extract from 'The Basis of Socialism' by Sidney Webb, LL.B., Barrister at Law, Lecturer on Political Economy at the City of London College, published in George Bernard Shaw (edited), Fabian Essays in Socialism, 1889 . Please refer also to 'Fabian Thinkers': 120 Years of Progressive Thought (edited by: Ellie Levenson, Guy Lodge and Greg Rosen). Again, it is from Fabian Society that APC is stealing their ideas - from a different reality in Northern Hemisphere to an entirely different one in the Southern Hemisphere. What the APC in Nigeria, has in fact, been doing is to plagiarise the ideas of the political parties in the West, particularly, political parties in Britain!

As a matter of fact, some children from the British working-class families were given free education in the 1780s by the Church, some charities and other well meaning organizations, whilst on February 17, 1870, Education for all over fives and under thirteens was introduced via the Elementary Education Act.

This writer is supposed to be a member of the Fabian Society, but haven't attended meetings for many years now - attempt was made last year to renew my membership, but I was unable to do so due to many commitments - I should make another attempt, sooner than expected to renew my memebership of the society whenever it is practically possible, for it is not only intellectually rewarding, you get to meet the very best in British politics!

Therefore, once again, I'd like to suggest, having done that many times through the years, that each registered political pary must have their think-tank unit as is done in advanced polities. What is more, noticing that Muhammadu Buhari and his APC are both destitute of ideas, Mr Buhari MUST not appoint advisers as an entrenched provision in the constitution, but constitue what I will like to call PRESIDENTIAL THINK TANK who will help him generate ideas for the running and management of our country. The PTT must be composed of the very best of Nigeria from every known field/sector the country can boast of, anything short of this candid advice of mine is tantamount to gathering political idiots like in the past, and wasting our money on them for doing nothing.

Need I remind my Yoruba brothers and sisters that there is currently what I call the OVER CELEBRATION/DEIFICATION OF OBAFEMI AWOLOWO AND THE AWOLOWO FAMILY GENERALLY, to the disadvantage/detriment of other Yoruba greats - and using the Awos always as the acme of achievements within the Yoruba ethnic nationality has the serious potential of discouraging the other Yorubas and deceiving both the present and the coming generations of the Yorubas that a greater than Awo or the Awos is not possible, whereas, there have always been greater that Obafemi Awolowo and the Awolowos in every generation. For example, isn't ODUDUWA, the founder of the Yoruba nation worth more place in the annals of history than Obafemi Awolowo? So why is he not celebrated? Where can I find ODUDUWA MUSEUM in Nigeria? Where can I find the MUSEUM OF KINGS in Nigeria?

In the midst of the Yoruba over obsession with Awolowo and his family, I dare say, that whereas, Awo's high point was in education, SLA's high point is in politics, hence all the alliances the Yorubas had gone into and are in currently with the Arewa - THE RULING HOUSE OF UTHMAN DAN FODIO are in fact, the fruits of Samuel Ladoke Akintola's pioneering experiment/endeavours!

A situation where a people think, it's ONLY one son of theirs and nobody else, is injurious and insultng to national sensibility, successful achievements and psyche! And this has got to stop! All Nigeria's political officials that have converted Ikenne over the years to a politcal Mecca, why don't they visit the Ziks, Ahmadu Bellos, Tafawa Balewas, Ojukwus, Okparas, Ironsis, Shagaris, Akanu Ibiams, Margaret Ekpos, Aminu Kanos, J.S. Tarkas, Mbus, Mokwogo Okoyes, Gambo Sawabas, Tai Solarins, Gani Fawehinmis, Osadeybes, Ambrose Alis, etc, etc, whilst in their various States/regions, or just take some time for courtesy's sake, to visit their families and their graves? Or should I record for posterity that this over obsession with Awo and the Awolowos is a media doing/hype?

Ironically, these are the bunch of hypocrites, who in spite of Awo's inflexibility and incorrigibility mounted mountainous road block on his way to the Presidency, EBENEZER BABATOPE included. BUT WHY ALWAYS AWO? The herd instinct leading to the Yorubas' over obsession with the Awolowos is a serious indictment on the nation's educational system which since the 60s has been producing robots (rote learners) instead of thinkers, rebels, mad people, iconoclasts, eccentric individuals, a situation which has compounded the current job market as all the nation has virtually been churning out each year since the 60s are mere job seekers and not job creators, without the intellectual capacity to think of ALTERNATIVE POSSIBILITIES, PLAN B, C, D, E-Z, ESPECIALLY IF "A" DOES NOT WORK and what is worse, all of them are heading to offices!

Atiku Abubakar who has been nursing the ambition to rule Nigeria for many years now, and incidentally, the first Nigerian 'big man' to be investigated by me, when just returning from national service, then a Staff Reporter with The Guardian, recently dashed the Awolowos N10 million at the HID book launch. This is simply stupid! Here's a President to-be (?) who does not know his priority!

And I ask, what for? The Awolowos don't need it. It is like a man from Adamawa taking coal to Enugu or carrying oil to any of the oil communities in the Niger Delta. This money should have been given to the Internally Displaced Persons, most of who are from Turaki's State. Still that money could have been used to build skills academies for our hapless brothers and sisters the Northern Oligarchs have condemned perpetually as Almajiris, from whom Boko Haram have been recruiting, and political officials too do recruit them to stone and pour water on their political foes, as was done to Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, a situation which prevented him from campaigning as he ought to in the North, whereas, Muhammadu Buhari had flowers strewn in his ways down South and in the North during the Presidential campaign! I had thought then that the so-called INEC and reactive-policing Arase will investigate these aberrations in our body politics and make their findings public. But will ever such an electoral post mortem take place in Nigeria?

As a matter of candid opinion, the Awolowos must give that N10 million from Turaki and other monies so callected during the book launch to Charity, the widows or use them to set up what I can call here THE HID SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION to give scholarships to indigent girls across the country, or make the scheme for both sexes as they deem it fit to so do. God bless the Awos as they comply.

By the way much does the tax man usually collect during the book launch and other associated commercial events? Do book launchers and other such commercial adventurers often inform the tax man ahead of these launches...but do they really need to invite the tax man before he takes his statutory assignment seriously and discharge his duties to the state loyally?

I had written before on the subject matter regarding the idiocy of the yearly memorial lectures in honour of every body these days in Nigeria. This is a stupid and senseless exercise and at best, a mere feel-good and ego-massaging exercise. This nonsense has got to stop, and stop it must! People who have such money to waste in honour of their in most cases, thieving relatives, should go back to their villages, which of course, most have not visited or know about, as some of these ego-trippers either having been living in capital cities of Nigeria, or do often come from abroad, where they bring along with them to the launches/memorial lectures very rotten and very discredited Westerners, some of them former Presidents/Prime Ministers who can't step out of their houses to the Streets in the West without being pelted with eggs to deliver these nonsensical and farcical memorial lectures, whose numbers are increasing by the second in Nigeria.

Memorial Lectures in 2016? No! Please stop it as the outcomes of such rubbish never go anywhere beyond the lecture halls in which they are delivered. Just set up charity for educational (scholarships, libraries, computer centres, buildings, etc), health, water/bore holes, developmental purposes and others services or worthy causes. Again I ask, memorial lectures? But what memorial lectures and for what? Why not consider setting up charity in honour of your dead relatives in your village of birth/roots to address immediate problems that abound therein as no government, no matter how effective/efficient and benevolent can solve all problems in all the nooks and crannies of their nations. Why not be a partner with God and your governments and GET ONE PERSON OUT OF POVERTY IN A YEAR (GOPOOPIAY), instead of these feel-good and ego-massaging memorial lectures and spurious thanks-giving anniversaries? We hope to launch GOPOOPIAY very soon, and the likes of Dangote and Atiku should get ready!

TO THE RICH, PRIVILEGED, CHURCHES, MOSQUES, GOVERNMENTS, CORPORATE ORGAINIZATIONS, ETC

Before this scheme is formally launched world wide, why not purpose in your heart to GET ONE PERSON OUT OF POVERTY IN A YEAR, especially that ONE PERSON that is out side of your family, who cannot pay you back, but will go out there, when it is well with them to GET ANOTHER ONE PERSON OUT OF POVERTY IN A YEAR. And for churches, mosques and corporate organisations, I ask today: What have been your contributions to the community of operation/s - or you have just been collecting/receiving without giving anything back? Henceforth, I enjoin all wealthy/successful people to all return to their alma maters and give something back for their contributions in making to become that very successful and wealthy person...Oya, Dangote, Atiku, OBJ, IBB, Abdulsami, Dipo Diya, Ebitu Ukiwe, Adenuga, Jimoh Ibrahim, Femi Otedola, Orji Kalu, Governors. First Ladies, Ministers, law makers, Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha Buhari, etc, step forward and lead our people in this direction. God bless you as you do.

GOPOOPIAY is a vision God has given me to promote round the world and not just in Nigeria. Therefore, the Media in Nigeria and in the nations of the world are encouraged to join me in promoting this vision: GET ONE PERSON OUT OF POVERTY IN A YEAR!

THE RE-INVENTION OF THE NDIGBO-AREWA ALLIANCE AND ITS AFTERMATH

In the Second Republic, the Ndigbo-Arewa Alliance was re-invented, re-engineered and re-invigorated in the famous "Accord Concordia" as announced by Kingsley Ozumba Mbadiwe, the man of timber and caliber and the nation's political wordsmith in the National Party of Nigeria and Nigeria People's Party (NPN-NPP) alliance which saw a strong flowering of democracy then, especially with the presence of most of the principal protagonists, architects and fathers of the nation, but with minimal and containable brute force as exhibited by IGP Sunday Adewusi's beasts, known then as KILL AND GO(!), although not usually mentioned, the enormous power wielded by IGP Adewusi and his team became the envy of the military, who felt betrayed, displaced, abandoned and brushed aside, amongst other key reasons of a Muhammadu Buhari having been exposed and indicted by the re-opening of the missing N2.8 billion oil money in his custody as revealed by Dora Ifudu of the Nigeria Television Authority and re-investigated investigated by the Senator Abubakar Olusola Saraki-led Senate Committee, especially as the said missing oil money was generally believed to have been lodged in Muhammadu Buhari's private Account with British Midland Bank, now HSBC, hence a coup in which the then Major General Muhammadu Buhari was its ring leader, although as ever, he always denies prior knowledge of that coup of December 31st, 1983, was hurriedly put together to truncate the march of democracy under gentle Aliyu Usman Shehu Shagari - this and NOT, repeat, this and NOT the reason of corruption that Buhari and his blood-thirsty gang often sold to naive and uninformed Nigerians was responsible for the coup!

BEFORE HE WAS EXECUTED BY IBB AND HIS GANG ON MARCH 5, 1986, BELOW IS WHAT MAJOR DANIEL IDOWU BAMIDELE (1949-1986) TOLD THE SPECIAL MILITARY TRIBUNAL ABOUT THE MAMMAN VATSA COUP AND MUHAMMADU BUHARI'S PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE COUP OF 1983

"I heard of the 1983 coup planning, told my GOC General Buhari who detained me for two weeks in Lagos. Instead of a pat on the back, I received a stab. How then do you expect me to report this one? This trial marks the eclipse of my brilliant and unblemished career of 19 years. I fought in the civil war with the ability it pleased God to give me. It is unfortunate that I'm being convicted for something which I have had to stop on two occasions. This is not self adulation but a sincere summary of the qualities inherent in me. It is an irony of fate that the president of the tribunal who in 1964 felt that I was good enough to take training in the UK is now saddled with the duty of showing me the exit from the force and the world"

Then do you still wonder why the same Muhammadu Buhari stabbed BAT and his cohorts in the back?

In the coming days, these are the seven things Mallam Daura and his Arewa Peoples Congress will offer Nigerians until when they will collectively be chased out by the foxes from the trenches:

⦁ Avalanche of propaganda

⦁ Empty promises

⦁ Tissues of lies

⦁ Myriads of deception

⦁ Stupendous corruption

⦁ More blood of baboons and dogs

⦁ Stinging wasps

But as Mr Buhari progresses gleefuly with his highly vindictive and selective probing, can he please for conscience's sake and in the name of God, tell this generation of Nigerians and the children of the coming generations together with all humanity, where that money is, just as Gbadamosi Ibrahim Babangida is hereby encouraged to go to the community hall of accountability and tell our people what really happened to the $12.4 billion Gulf war oil windfall?

After the termination of that alliance by Muhammadu Buhari and his satanic gang, Ndigbo, for whilst the ignominious and brutish reign of Buhari lasted, temporarily lost out at least for upward of two years in the governance of Nigeria, only to stage a come back in a military alliance of Arewa and Ndigbo as led by another stooge from the Arewa/Uthman Dan Fodio Ruling House, Ibrahim Gbadamosi (not BADAMASI) of Yoruba (Oshogbo) roots, through Commodore Okoh Ebitu Ukiwe, who was later to be chased out by the Arewa's Armed Forces Ruling Council led by IBB, following an in-house fraca arising from the latter secretly enlisting Nigeria as a member of the evil club, the OIC.

Ever since the highly standardless reign of Ibrahim Gbadamosi Babangida lasting for upward of eight years, one alliance after another, with a few interludes, whether military or civilian, has been between Arewa and the Yorubas such that the governance of Nigeria since then has become a sort of relay race, in which the two ethnic nationalities in a joint partnership at will, hand over the baton of governance to one another, to the gross EXCLUSION of the rest of the country - a situation which largely accounts for the resurrection of the call for the Republic of Biafra as being sponsored now locally, from Ndigbo in the Diaspora and sympathisers from far flung lands, and when the fire finally fires up, Nigeria will have on its hand a challenge more dangerous, fierce and dealier than what the whole wide world currently sees in Boko Haram, with supra sophisticated weapons to be used, but in the midst of all these raging inferno in the East, whilst no one is in charge as our Baba Daura gallivants the world for a hand shake with scornful world leaders, who are already tired and disdainful of him, the real President of Nigeria, the Sultan, who in his Caliphate delusion, thinks the whole of Nigeria is an inherited estate from his forebears as arrogant Ahmadu Bello had claimed, recently sent out idle traditional rulers from the Middle Belt and the North to the East on a TELL YOUR YOUTH TO SHEATHE THEIR SWORDS (?), instead of having first, a close door meet with his obsequious servant/subject, the Dogari President, the world's number one Almajiri and troubadour, and the outcome of that deliberation with unfeeling Chindo would have been to send eminent Nigerians from all the geo-zones on a parley with the East!

But where was the Sultan when Muhammadu Buhari was making his lopsided appointments? And where was this same Sultan when Nigeria was being balkanised to favour the North, especially the Hausa and Fulani people with injustices, unfairnes and imbalances being encouraged and promoted openly and brazenly in every sphere of our national life?

However, it must here be stressed that all though well *intentioned, the Sultan in his MISSION TO THE EAST, allowed himself to be beclouded by his well known Caliphate delusions, hence he chose to by pass protocol and in the process, undermined the constitutional authotity and responsibility of his kinsman President, Chindo-Yamusa II.

So who really is the President of Nigeria, and between Muhammadu Buhari and the Sultan, who really is governing Nigeria, and who really is in charge?

The Sultan has practically demonstrated and confirmed his caliphate delusional dream/vision regarding how he sees, perceives and feels about Nigeria as passed onto him by his ancestors - the likes of arrogant Ahmadu Bello, particularly. but whilst I respectfully approve of the Sultan's good intentions, his approach/method strategy has exposed his warped understanding of the Nigerian Federation and its workings. It should also be stressed here that the Sultan, in his delusional haste, arrogance and fierce competition with the Presidency, committed another error of judgement in the case of our innocent brothers and sisters on a peaceful procession who had their precious lives snuffed out of them in the age-old raging battle between the Sunnis in Nigeria, who of course, are the sect of Islam dominating every sphere in Nigeria, and the hyper-eruptive shi'ites, both being sponsored by Saudi Arabia and Iran as these two countries, battle themselves moment by moment for the soul of Nigeria. But Nigeria should be informed ahead of time that when the "happen, happens", blood will flow, not in Saudi Arabia or Iran, but on the streets and roads of the Nigerian State, just as the wars in Syria and Yemen are not taking place in any of the sponsoring Islamic nations. Thus, a stich in time does not only save nine, but to be forewarned, is to be forearmed! And all concerned therefore, MUST do well to nip in the bud, the impending Sunnis v Shi'ites war in Nigeria.

 

NOW IS THE TIME TO NIP IN THE BUD THE IMPENDING WAR BETWEEN SUNNIS AND SHIAS IN NIGERIA

Our Nigeria MUST not be turned into a battle ground for the centuries of war between the sunnis and shi'tes Muslims in Nigeria. I therefore, invite all Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora to join me and say to the Saudis and Iranians: NOT IN OUR COUNTRY, CARRY YOUR LUST FOR VIOLENCE AND BLOOD OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!

A VERY STRONG WARNING TO THE SULTAN

Hence, and as a matter of seriousness and a very strong warning, his eminence is hereby reminded and warned very, very seriously that he does not enjoy any constitutional role that warrants him to bypass a sitting President by embarking on a self-appointed and ego-boosting mission to the East through some idle traditional rulers in a manner that suggests that the whole East is an emirate under the Sokoto emirate council, or the whole of Nigeria, an extension of a DEAD CALIPHATE - the dead Sokoto caliphate whose history the whole world knows too well, and not different in any least way from the current wave of the global jihad.

This is why history MUST be returned to schools and colleges, so our children know once upon a time, strangers from Mecca and Senegal invaded their ancestral lands and began to kill, behead, maim, slaughter and dispossessed them of the lands belonging to the indigenous people in and around the upper Niger area, thereby robbing them of their natural entitlements - and nobody in the 21st century should be proud of this bloody and bestial past carried out by their forefathers as conscienctious Brits today are NOT proud of their forebears' empire exloits in Africa and elsewhere.

On this note, if anyone out there in the Presidency is listening, they should without further delay instigate the meetings of former Heads of State and Presidents to convey an emergency council of state meet, all politicians, and separately, all Governors, all frontline traditional rulers and all-interfaith associations to kick-start THE GREAT CONVERSATION to be followed immediately by HAND SHAKES ACROSS THE NIGER!

Lest I forget, my readers must be aware and conscious of the destruction of the African civilization by the Arabs in the earliest centuries and in later centuries by the Europeans, dating back to 4500 BC till the very present as still happening in Sudan v South Sudan, Somalia, the result of that total destruction led to the displacement of the dark-skinned people who were the natural and original owners of the whole of North Africa of today, which unfortunately is today peopled by the Arabs who now unashamedly lay claim to the various cultures and the acme of civilization in that part of the world.

A simple test case is that there is nothing islamic/Arabic about mumification which is solely indigenous to the dark-skinned people - the Africans, hence earliest historians and Africans described the North Africa of today then as THE LAND OF THE BLACKS! European anthropologists and others therefore, have no right to be digging up buried African kings/queens - the pharaohs as they will not allow anyone to so disrespect their kings, values and cultures. Such act is simply a disecration and an unforgiveable abomination!

The culture of mummification still goes on in Yala of Cross River State, albeit, for a period of time before the dead is finally buried. The Arabs don't have evidence of this to show the world as an integral part of their culture and religion. And the dressing done as a mark of respect to the dead in Yala of Nigeria has a striking similarity with that done in Egypt of yore when the dark-skinned people ruled the world and held sway before the modern distortion, destruction and the re-arrangement of civilization and values by the Arabs and Europeans to suit them in order to take advantage of the rest of the world.

HOW OUR DEMOCRACY HAS AGAIN BEEN HIJACKED BY THE DARK FORCES THAT SCUTTLED THE JUNE 12 PRESIDNTIAL ELECTION ONLY TO REPLACE IT WITH LONG YEARS OF THE MILITARY PRESIDED OVER BY THE CALIPHATE'S AGENTS AND THEIR CRONIES

AREWAISM/NORTHERNISM AS A TYPE OF GOVERNMENT

Nigeria's democracy and hard won liberty fought for and and worn over sixteen years ago with repect to the recent return to democracy have been binned in the ash heap of Arabism and replaced by Arewaism and Northernism which also, has torpedoed Nigeria's Bicameralism and replaced it with a new bicameral legislature, henceforth to be known and called: AEREWALATURE, GAMJILATURE, HAUSA-FULANILATURE, NORTHLATURE AND BUHARILATURE OR ARABLATURE.

In these legislatures attained by anarchic exploits - terrorism/extremism or bloody jihadism, Arewalature being the upper house/chamber is the law and decision making body of the Arewa-Buhari-led Government, whilst BUHARILATURE being the lower house/chamber is the implementor of those laws and decisions and equally functions as the arch stooge of the Uthman Dan Fodio Ruling House in which arrogant Ahmadu Bello was the modern revivalist of caliphateism, whose founding architect and cornerstone was Uthman Dan Fodio.

Just as in the first Republic when Bello marionetted and puppeted Tafawa Balewa in Lagos from Kaduna, the current Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa'ad Abubakar, a descendant of Uthman Dan Fodio is not doing anything differently in the overall project of the islamification of Nigeria in order deliver her on a platter of gold to Saudi Arabia, the rest of the Arab/Islamic nations including the Muslim Ummah world wide.

In case, you wonder why the Hausa and Fulani people have no regard for other Nigerians outside of their stock, in this wise, the Yorubas, listen to Uthman Dan Fodion:

In his book Tanbih al-ikhwan ’ala ahwal al-Sudan (“Concerning the Government of Our Country and Neighboring Countries in the Sudan”) Usman wrote: “The government of a country is the government of its king without question. If the king is a Muslim, his land is Muslim; if he is an Unbeliever, his land is a land of Unbelievers. In these circumstances it is obligatory for anyone to leave it for another country”.[3] Usman did exactly this when he left Gobir in 1802. After that, Yunfa turned for aid to the other leaders of the Hausa states, warning them that dan Fodio could trigger a widespread jihad.

 

Source: http://islamicblackhistory.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/uthman-dan-fodio.html

So a Muhammadu Muhari like arrogant Ahmadu Bello and all the Military Heads of State since General Yakubu Gowon with all of them being just puppets and marionettes in the hands of the CALIPHATE DELUSIONISTS have merely been following in the foot steps of Uthman Dan Fodio, hence it is very easy for them to say: "Go!" instead of saying: BETTER TOGETHER when any region demanded self-determination, because this was what Uthman Dan Fodio did when he left Gobir in 1802, hence to the Caliphate Delusionists, Biafra can go.

This mindset also makes the Muslim North dominate their Governments any time they are in power in Nigeria with Muslims, and just to satisfy the constitution a little bit, they give crumbs, pieces of bone and feeding bottles to their cronies, kafirs and abeeds in the alliance beginning from the Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba Alliance dating back to 1965 and all such others the Yorubas and a few times Ndigbo had been in alliances with them.

It was so prevalent during the military era and having been privileged to be very close to some Generals, I saw this development as a witness, as the Southern members of the Ruling Councils were just mere outsiders. Take for instance, if a meeting of the Council was to hold the next day - those in the inner circle would be summoned by the Commander-in-Chief to attend THE MEETING before the meeting, so when the likes of Ebitu Ukiwe in the case of Nigeria joining the OIC in 1986 said he was not aware of it, he was very right, and when Oladipo Diya was made a fool in the Abacha Government and had to testify that he was not put in the know about certain decisions taken by the Government in which he was supposed to be the number two, he was just as right as Ukiwe.

So my advice to BAT and Segun Osoba who in that infantile excitement about the Yorubas being challenged with super ministries and stupidly referred to persons who are supposed to be Federal/Nigerian Ministers as YORUBA MINISTERS, confirming truly that what passes for national Government currently in Nigeria is indeed, AREWA-YORUBA GOVERNMENT.

When a journalist like Aremu Osoba could descend so low to divide Nigeria, does anyone doubt the fact that NIGERIA AS IS CURRENTLY CONSTITUTED IS A VERY SICK COUNTRY? Here's a professional son, Dr Isma'il Babatunde Jose whom both Osoba and myself share as a great and worthy mentor will not be proud of from the grave. Aremu Osoba has just this week to apologise to Nigerians for being so divisive. When I wrote a poem entitled: EAGLE ON THE ROCK in my capacity as the Chairman, Editorial Board of the Daily Times to celebrate his 60th birthday, I did not know Aremu would one day descend so low from that rock to the valley of tribalism and irredentism.

The implication of Osoba's crass stupidity is that we can now refer to Nigerians of all professions by their ethnic nationalities as in Yoruba Generals, Yoruba Senators, Yoruba journalists, Yoruba politicians, Yoruba lawyers, Arewa President, Yoruba Vice President, etc. Aremu Osoba, can you now see your folly?

Some years back, the media in Nigeria began referring to the nation's law makers as Hausa Senators, Hausa Legislators, Yoruba Senators, Yoruba Legislators until I had to blast them for such attempt to divide the country. So now that the nation has sunk so low to the valley of NORTH AND SOUTH AND THE VALLEY OF DESPAIR under Muhammadu Buhari who has been the originator of this divide and rule eventuating in the division of Nigeria and all facets of our national life, does anyone still blame Ndigbo for resurrecting Biafra?

BIA FURU (BIAFRA): COME AND SEE

But what really is Biafra? What is Biafra? What indeed, is Biafra, but a cry for human dignity and inclusivity. Biafra means so many things, but for now BIAFRA IS ABOUT HUMAN DIGNITY AND INCLUSIVITY!

BIAFRA AS THE SECOND SWORD OF DAMOCLES OVER NIGERIA

Children, listen! Give me your ears:

I can hear the voices and sounds of the rivers, the ocean, the seas, the mountains, the hills and the valleys; I can hear the voices and sounds of the brooks and streams, of stones, of rocks, of leaves and grasses, of all creatures on land, in the heavens and in the waters and interpret them, but it is not given for you to hear their voices, decipher their secrets and interpret them. You may excercise your democratic free will and dismiss what I tell and say the old man is verbalising nonsense, but it sure shall be at your peril.

Listen therefore, little ones:

⦁ When you see an old woman dancing naked on the high way, never ever conclude she is insane. There are drummers in the bush drumming with pulsating rythm.

⦁ When a child disrupts the sleep of the entire village, don't reason the child is simply being irritant and mischievous. The child could be warning the whole village of an impending omen, and if the villagers take the time to have all of their ears to the ground and listen carefully amidst the irritating cries of the suckling, there will hear the sound of an owl hooting atop the iroko tree at the centre of the village, portending the danger that lies ahead.

⦁ But does a toad run in the day time for the fun of it?

Enter, the town crier with clanging noises of bells, irritating and strangely smelly pall of smoke oozing from his nostrils which could take in the head of a very big python, speaking in ancient, guttural and alternating voices:

Alas! The elephant has fallen -

 

Hurrah for thunder -

 

But already the hunters are talking about pumpkins:

 

If they share the meat let them remember thunder,

 

The eye that looks down will surely see the nose;

 

The finger that fits should be used to pick the nose.

 

Today - for tomorrow, today becomes yesterday:

 

How many million promises can ever fill a basket..

 

If I don't learn to shut my mouth I'll soon go to hell,

 

I, Okigbo, town-crier, together with my iron bell.

 

(Path of Thunder: Hurrah for Thunder, p.67).

 

BUHARI'S IDIOTIC CABINET AT A GLANCE...STILL ALL MOTION, BUT NO ACTION...JUST A TALK TALK GOVERNMENT, FULL OF PROPAGANDA AND UNPARALLELED REPETITIVE EMPTY PROMISES

(A.) Kitchen or Governing or Ruling Cabinet ( A continuation from the military. Readers should check out Buhari's ministers and members of his ignominious Ruling Council to see who were in the majority and reflect on Uthman Dan Fodio's quote above).

(B.) Think-tank or Council Cabinet recently constituted to generate ideas for him as usual, being highly destitute of ideas, but unfortunately for Chindo, just like him, they all without exception, look thoroughly dazed and confused - a good-for-nothing bunch, who each looks pitifully as if they have just received a merciless head butt from a furious Mike Tyson for being so useless in the face of the ship of State currently buffeting against the stormy gale of the Atlantic.

(C.) Palace Courtiers or Dogaris (Floating ministers/regional representatives or the so-called junior ministers who will just be the face of Buhari at social functions. These are messenger-ministers of State, MMS).

Cabinet "B" and "C" are the ones Buhari had referred to as ALOJIA (Yala word for NOISE MAKERS). But I for one, these are the real ABEEDS (slaves) and kafirs, a situation which mirrors the patterns of admnistration and political appointments since the 1960s till date. If other Nigerians by accident of birth and religion do not merit class/group "A" above, why then should any person of honour subject themselves to the indignity of being called ABEED and KAFIR in their own fatherland? Can you now see why the agitators of Biafra are justified?

THE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO BUDGET 2016

JUST READING NIGERIAN NEWSPAPERS‏

John Aduma

 

25/12/2015

 

To: Chidi Umeh

 

Hi Chidi,

 

Once again, Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year ahead.

 

We were discussing the 2016 budget and oil prices slump...IMF said it would slump to $20 per barrel.

 

Can you now see the wisdom of my analysis?

 

As at the time of presenting the budget, the price was $39 from $145xx through $109xx and the President's budget is predicated on $38xx.

 

So going by the IMF's projection, Nigeria from the budget would lose $18xx per barrel...can you now see how silly the President's projection is?

 

IMPLICATIONS FOR ORDINARY NIGERIANS:

 

AUSTERITY MEASURES + REMOVAL OF OIL SUBSIDIES=ENDLESS QUES AT PETROL STATIONS + CRISES!!!

 

Did I hear you say the price a nation must pay for hiring a FRAGRANCECONOMIST, who does economic forecast by applying makeup?

 

Best,

 

aduma.

A SPECIAL ANALYSIS ON THE NIGERIAN POLITY FROM 1914 - TILL THE PRESENT

THE NATURAL AND MYSTICAL DIVISIONS OF NIGERIA IGNORED BY AGENTS OF THE CALIPHATE OVER THE YEARS IN THEIR BALKANIZATION OF NIGERIA

LET US DIVIDE THIS COUNTRY BY AN ACT OF UNION NOW!

THE ADUMAEAN MODEL

Perhaps, we would have had a better Nigeria today with containable frictions and disagreements if the partitioning of Nigeria had followed what I'd like to call its natural and mystical division such as:

⦁ Nigeria East of the Niger (NIEON or EON...comprising all former Eastern Region and the Igbo speaking Delta).

⦁ Nigeria West of the Niger (NIWON or WON...comprising all former Western Region before the creation of Mid Western Region in 1963).

⦁ Midland or (Middle Belt or Central Region...all areas/States comprising today's North Central and some parts of the zone that were merged with the core North, whilst the balkanization of palaces-aided States creation exercises by the military lasted)).

⦁ Nigeria North of the Niger (NINON or NON...all States making up North West and North East).

It is an idea that I'm still developing, but let us all think about these...with these, Nigeria could adopt the United Kingdom Model of three-in-One, with its own having Four-in-One. Great Britain came into being by the Act of Union, 1 May 1707 after Scotland had agreed to join England and Wales to form one country.

Currently, the United Kingdom comprises four geographical and historical parts - England, Wales, Scotland including Northern Ireland and Nigeria can by an ACT OF UNION be divided into four countries in one with each country having a form of administration suitable to it and being in charge of its own destiny, but be subject to the MOTHER COUNTRY which will be in charge of the armed forces, the police, Foreign Affairs, national economy, etc, with a FEDERAL PARLIAMENT.

Each of the four countries will embrace what I call the ROCAM PRINCIPLE of resource ownership, control and management, paying between 10-30% of it annual revenue generation to the CENTRAL GOVERNMENT.

This Act of Union should spell out procedures to be followed, where any member country of the union that seeks unattached independence/self determination can do so through the instrumentality of a robust debate, after which the final determination of the dissolusion can be ONLY by a referendum.

Therefore, in view of the prevailing reality in our nation, zone/s clamouring for self-determination should do so within the context of the current Nigerian Federation, hence forth to be known and called THE GREAT NIBE FEDERATION, a name coined by me from the first two letters of Rivers Niger and Benue - NI + BE=NIBE.

CITIZENSHIP, STATEISM, INDIGENIZATION AND SETTLERSHIP

In sane societies, to be a citizen surpasses all else - remember Paul declaring to his aggressors: I'M A ROMAN CITIZEN and what follows afterwards?

PAUL THE ROMAN CITIZEN (Acts 22:22-29)

22 The crowd listened to Paul until he said this. Then they raised their voices and shouted, “Rid the earth of him! He’s not fit to live!”

 

23 As they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and flinging dust into the air, 24 the commander ordered that Paul be taken into the barracks. He directed that he be flogged and interrogated in order to find out why the people were shouting at him like this. 25 As they stretched him out to flog him, Paul said to the centurion standing there, “Is it legal for you to flog a Roman citizen who hasn’t even been found guilty?”

 

26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the commander and reported it. “What are you going to do?” he asked. “This man is a Roman citizen.”

 

27 The commander went to Paul and asked, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?”

 

“Yes, I am,” he answered.

 

28 Then the commander said, “I had to pay a lot of money for my citizenship.”

 

“But I was born a citizen,” Paul replied.

 

29 Those who were about to interrogate him withdrew immediately. The commander himself was alarmed when he realized that he had put Paul, a Roman citizen, in chains.

The great American president John F. Kennedy used the phrase in 1963 when he said: "Two thousand years ago, the proudest boast was  '​civis romanus sum '​. Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is  '​Ich bin ein Berliner '​."

And almost 53 years after I say today to all Nigerians and the entire human family on the planet earth that in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is CIVIS NIGERIANUS SUM!

Therefore, to merely declare: "I'M A NIGERIAN CITIZEN" (Civis Nigerianus sum) should entitle you to anything, whatsoever in any part of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, without recourse to such nonsense as State of Origin, religion, indigenes, strangers, aliens, settlers, etc. And if by now, you are thinking what I'm thinking, a Nigerian citizen, born, bred and domiciled in any part of the country should contest elections into any elective posts there are, from the grassroots - local government areas, States and at the centre without any form of discrimination or obstacles put in the way of such well meaning and highly integrative tendencies. Why should anyone raise an eye brow if Musa Abdullahi who has Kano roots, but born, raised up or just domiciled in Cross River State contested and won a gubernatorial election and subsequently sworn in as the Governor of Cross River State? Similarly, why must hell be let lose if Christian Achebe Udechukwu with Igbo ancestry, who was born and bred or just domiciled in Zamfara State (should I say Zamfaraghanistan?) contested the same election, won and was subsequently sworn in as the Governor of Zamfara State?

In the forthcoming General elections, how many Nigerian citizens born, bred or domiciled in States other than their so-called States of Origin are contesting, to start with, in States like Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, three of the nation's most highly multicultural, multi-lingual States, and then at the City of Vultures and Worms, the nation's Federal Capital Territory?

In a truly federated country, there ought not to be such highly embarrassing shame as indigenes, settlers, States of Origin, but citizens. Equally, there ought not to be such display of ignorance with respect to national commons such as oil and other natural resources as to carrying such "mumuness"/silliness/illiteracy/ignorance/arrogance to a point of extremity as oil producing States or oil producing communities, for I for one, as reflected in all my writings, there is no State or community in Nigeria that produces oil or such other resources or commodities, but the GOVERNMENT AND THE PEOPLE OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA do.

More worrisome is the fact that young people in Sharia States are not prepared as citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but as Mujahedeens/jihadists with allegiance to Saudi Arabia and the Arab world, where began all the plots and whisperings for the islamification of Nigeria, or if it proves impossible, then as Muamar Gadafi who surreptitiously destroyed such West African countries as Sierra Leone and Liberia had suggested, Nigeria should be divided along religious lines, at a time he was speaking the mind of the Arab world regarding Nigeria or should I say: NIGERIANISTAN/NIGERIAGHANISTAN?

Mark this: Sharia and the current wave of jihadism in and around Africa which is a replay of the 7th Century invation of Africa, consequent upon the destruction of indigenous (Black) civilization including their displacement, the dilusion and the discolouring of North Africa as you now have in Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya, Sudan, some of who today parade themselves as ARAB REPUBLIC OF...yet are members of the so-called African Union (AU), will destroy the continent in a manner worse than the combined evils of slavery and colonialism had done in the previous centuries and push her backward a billion years.

By this my prophetic message to all Nigerians, especially my fellow Hausa and Fulani compatriots is that in a polygamous home called THE HOUSE OF NIGERIA, the children of one of the many wives in the House of Nigeria cannot continue to look upon their other half-brothers and sisters as illegitimate/bastards for so long, without risking an absence of peace in the household, manifesting in such emotions as contant strife/friction/violence, consequent upon untold blood-letting and war. The purpose of this message is to sound a warning to you and all my brothers and sisters up North that it is not wisdom, but a lack of it that will make anyone from a polygamous home like Nigeria want to behave thus, all of the time.

But as Abraham Lincoln the 16th American President had said centuries ago: “You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time.” I'm in love with the 21st Century and earnestly looking forward to the next centuries ahead, but to be returned back to the Dark Ages, I'd rather jump off the Ship of State and get drown in the Ocean than allow myself the indignity of being transported back to medievalism with all its attendant bestiality and monstrosity! Coming off the Ship because of the reason adumbrated above, John Odey Aduma will not be alone, but I will have many comrades who would like me like to drown honourably in the Ocean than to be returned to the medieval era.

Also, it smacks off crass arrogance, superiority complex, intolerance, total lack of honour and dignity, gross inconsideration devoid of universal altruism, totally disrespectful to the Golden Rule for the children of this same woman in the polygamous House of Nigeria to want to deny their other brothers and sisters the inheritance to which all of them are heirs, using every dishonourable methods, which all of the time involve violence and bestial blood-letting as Cain's before the very eyes of the all-seeing and all-knowing God, including undignified tactics such as Machiavellianism.

Since my Hausa and Fulani compatriots cannot read the hand writing on the wall, it is my patriotic duty to aver that the time has come for every bond person within the Nigerian Federation to free themselves, such that they would not want to return to the Dark Ages, they would also not want to return to Egypt after having crossed the Red Sea, for as Major-General Mamman Jiya Vatsa once said: "Lean freedom is better than fat slavery."

And echoing the Great William Shakespearse: "Every bond man has the right to free himself."

In plain English, what I mean is that no Nigerian - North and South of the Niger wants to be a slave in their fatherland any more. What is more, in the coming Ndigbo renaissance, whose stirrings and echo I can hear already, THE IGBOS OF NIGERIA ARE NO LONGER FOR TURNING, SO ARE OTHER NIGERIANS!

Therefore, Arewa, my Hausa and Fulani compatriots particularly, watch it/take note!

Ndigbo kwenu!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Nigeria, kwenu!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Africa, kwenu!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Kwenu! Kwenu! Kwenu!

And as I descend the platform to take my seat with the elders, I can hear the echo of the song: LET THERE BE LOVE SHARED AMONGST US,

LET THERE BE LOVE IN OUR HEARTS.....

Children, be of good behaviour amongst yourselves.

God bless Nigeria.

HOW THE HAUSA - FULANIS, THE DESCENDANTS OF UTHMAN DANFODIO AND THEIR CRONIES UNDERDEVELOPED NIGERIA AND AFTERWARDS CREATED THE WILD DONKEYS OF THE DESERT

 

 

 

.....rerum cognoscere causas

 

 

 

He will be a wild donkey of a man;

 

his hand will be against everyone

 

and everyone's hand against him,

 

and he will live in hostility

Still on the locust-like activities of the Oligarchic North as carried out by this same Jibril Aminu as witnessed by me in one of my many investigations day and night on dertification, grazing lands, mega dams (Tiga and Challawa Gorge Dams, the Kafin Zaki Dam project which was discontinued by the so-called Interim National Government (ING) of Ernest Shonekan because of my findings, massive irrigation projects which has killed traditional agriculture, desiccation of the river systems, subsistence pastoralism which led to the formation of General Muhammadu Buhari’s The Pastoral Resolve, which was the idea of my former boss and mentor Mr Romeo Barberopoulos, chairman and founder of Nigerian Foundries Ltd, the plight of the Fulani Bororos, etc, etc, I visited the desert where Jibril Aminu then in his capacity as Minister of Petroleum and the Northern elders were wasting our money to look for oil in the desert. When I took it up with Oil Companies CEOs and prominent expatriates resident in Nigeria, especially the rationale for such a wicked waste of resources, they told me Jibril had told them when he was asked to give up the obvious futile efforts of hoping to get oil in the desert, Jubril had said to them: “I will not stop as I don’t want to incur the wrath of the Northern elders.

Fellow compatriots, home and abroad, can you now see that Bokohramism is the very reason for such a waste when such money could have been used for the education of the talakawas' children they had kept as cannon fodders over the years to slaughter at will their compatriots, especially the Igbos, Christians and others . I make bold to say here that after the revered politician Aminu Kano and Gambo Sawaba the no-nonsense female activist, no Nigerian living or dead has again taken up the peculiar situation of the almajiris, the talakawas generally aimed at educating them, rehabilitating them, liberating them and giving them a future as I have done, and still do both nationally and internationally.

I want to stress here with all sense of responsibility that all the Hausa-Fulani elite and political class including military officers are united in their mistreatment of the almajiris and talakawas. While in Nigeria when I had taken up their matter with traditional rulers in palaces and Generals, they all told me: “People should be allowed to be educated in line with their religion.” And when I had to remind them their children are not receiving this miserable education and I would be told, “My dear John, that’s the type of education they want, let them have it.” Again, Bokoharamism is the reason for their foisting Islamic education on the children of the talakawas, whilst they are sending their Children to City University, Oxford, Imperial College, Harvard, etc.

GOOD OLD SUPER-ERUPTIVE VOLCANIC KADUNASTAN & THE SHI'ITES' v SUNNIS' (WAHABIS) BLOODY PILOT PROJECT IN NIGERIA...THE BATTLE OF SAUDI ARABIA AND IRAN FOR THE SOUL OF NIGERIA

Shia (/ˈʃiːə/; Arabic: شيعة‎ Shīʿah), an abbreviation of Shīʻatu ʻAlī (شيعة علي, "followers of Ali"), is a branch of Islam which holds that the Islamic prophet Muhammad's proper successor as Caliph was his son-in-law and cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib. Shia Islam primarily contrasts with Sunni Islam, whose adherents believe that Muhammad's father-in-law Abu Bakr, not Ali ibn Abi Talib, was his proper successor. Source: (Wikepedia).

Another coming BLOODGATE...but is Nigeria ready for more blood, violence, maimings, killings, destructions and actual deaths?

EXTREMISTS ISLAMIST MOVEMENTS, MOST OF WHICH ARE IN NIGERIA ALREADY AND THOSE THAT HAVE NOT TAKEN ROOTS ARE ON THEIR WAY AND TALKS ARE ONGOING PREPARATORY TO THEIR BERTHING IN WHAT IS HENCEFORTH TO BE KNOWN AND CALLED NIGERIAGHANISTAN!

THE ABUSE OF ISLAM

HOW ARABS' STRATEGY OF UMMAH (BROTHERHOOD) HAS BEEN DECIMATING AFRICAN POPULATION, CONSEQUENT UPON THE DESTRUCTION OF THE BLACK CIVILIZATION SINCE 4500 B.C. TILL THE VERY PRESENT

It seems to me that since the the Sunnis-Salafists-Wahabis-led Boko Haram bloody exploits and every day 'bestial entertainment' at bloody BAY (Bornostan, Adamawaghanistan and Yobestine) for over six years now in which sanguinary theatre goers the world over are being entertained with BAY getting all the headlines and global attention, topping all the global bloody charts, ever super-eruptive KADUNASTAN has been envious of BAY and has now set the stage for the Iranian-led, Iranian-funded bloody pilot project in Nigeria which will no doubt see Shias and the Saudi Arabia-led-funded Sunnis in Nigeria competing fiercely for space as they do bloody battles with one another for the soul of NIGERIAGHANISTAN, with each contender aiming at either the establishment of the Iranian-type revolution or the resurrection and expansion of the Sokoto Caliphate, an annexe of Saudi Arabia through the Middle Belt down South, with the Ibrahim El-Zak-zaky-led and Iranian-funded and Iranian-promoted, having the sole aim of delivering NIGERIAGHANISTAN to Iran, and Sunnis-Salafists-Wahabis aiming to deliver her to their sponsor and promoter, SAUDI ARABIA.

What Nigerians and the world must know is that since the days of Ibrahim Gbadamosi Babangida, every Muslim-led Sunnis Government in Nigeria, and of course, PALACES across the Muslim-dominated North have never been comfortable with the seeming intractable growing adherents/number and influence of the Iranian-funded-promoted Shi'ites.

Another very major-major problem of the Middle East and Islamic nations is in fact, the battle for supremacy between Sunnis-dominated Saudi Arabia and Shi'ites-dominated Iran. Nigerians and the world must not forget that Muhammadu Buhari is a Sunni/Salafist/Wahabi Muslim as well as palaces, whilst Ibrahim El-Zakzaky is a Shi'ite, and to put the blame squarely where it ought to be apportioned when it comes to the issue of domination in Nigeria, those actually dominating every sphere of the Nigerian national life are in fact, the Arab-backed Sunni Muslims!

Therefore, without mincing words, the Sunnis-led military, the Presidency and palaces are hereby called to do honest soul-searching and post mortem over the recent killings of about 800/1000(?) of our compatriots, who as the Sunnis-doctored constitution of Nigeria allows them were/are Shi'ite Muslims by faith to demonstrate their freedom of association.

THE RESURGENCE OF BESTIAL JIHADISM IN AFRICA

After reading this, do you still wonder why "common-ordinary" Iran, as the expression goes in Nigeria, was all over the place, barking at the erstwhile giant of Africa, embarrassingly to the point of that 'baby country' summoning Nigeria's ambassador to their country to answer questions over the killings of their Shi'ites sect members who were our compatriots?

After reading this, do you also still wonder why a Saudi monarch paid part or the full hospital bills of our former President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua who alledgedly died in a Saudi hospital?

But why was my call to probe this embarrassment of a leader of a foreign nation insulting all of us as Nigerians and Africans and our oil-rich Nigeria by the payment of that hospital bills ignored?

I have spent decades to alert African rulers about "sharia-creep" into the continent and the return of bestial islamism to Africa, a situation which has pitted brothers against brothers, sisters against sisters, parents against children, children against parents, neigbours against neighbours, families against families, etc, but all my warnings over these decades have been to no avail.

Whilst I'd like to warn fellow Nigerians and Africans that blood-thirsty jihadists are currently in Africa baying for her blood and soul, once again, I cry out: O YOU FOOLISH AFRICANS!

As ever, I am still in tears for Nigeria - how a beautiful country is gradually being destroyed. God, all humanity and posterity are called to bear me witness testifying to the fact that despite the fact that I had given all the words, messages and warnings of God through me to all Nigerians, the Nigerian authorities, Africa and the world, but all these have fallen on deaf ears!

What is more, I have spent decades calling for the probing of such islamist elements as Ahmed Rufai Sani Yerima, Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zak-zaky and a host of other greedy fools too numerous to mention here, who have been making endless journeys to Saudi Arabia, Iran, Libya under Ghadafi and other Islamic nations to collect money to destroy OUR NIGERIA and in their delusions of grandeur, hoping to islamify it, change it to NIGERIAGHANISTAN and deliver it on a PLATTER OF BLOOD to the Saudis, first, then Iranians and the Islamic world generally!

Again, these calls of mine to probe these stupid jihadists have been ignored for the umpteen times.

In Remember the Covenant of Brotherhood, Chapter 6 of my book The Diamonds Are Here, here is what I wrote 26 years ago as a corp member columnist at The Observer in the then Bendel State on June 24, 1990 in the Sunday Observer under the Author's then regular column For Posterity: "We are still a long way from the Promised Land. These in-house vendettas and feuds like those between mates and children at the playground will push us farther back. If a nation has an economic problem, she can get out of it; if a nation has a political problem, she can get out of it; if a nation has a social problem, she can get out of it. If the problem of a nation is a cultural one, she can get out of it. Certainly, no nation ever comes out of it, if she plunges herself into a religious war. Living examples abound: Lebanon's glories have crumbled due to religious war. Sudan and India have never been the same since their religious wars. The labour of our past leaders must not be in vain. "...though tribe and tongue may differ, in brotherhood we stand."

***This article/treatise is dedicated to all Nigerians and friends of Nigeria who are out there, day and night contending for the peace, liberty and progress of our Nigeria.

To all my compatriots who do not see any hope in our country today, take this as my assurance to you that no matter how dark it seems now, no matter how bleak, the future is right now, be rest assured that beneath the blackness of darkness and the bleakness of bleakness our light ariseth, the blackness of darkness and the bleakest bleakness have not comprehended it. Also, be assured that our sun doth ariseth from yon high East, hence I'm bold to announce to all Nigerians and the whole wide world today that NIGERIA WILL PREVAIL, IN SPITE OF!

Merry Christmas to all Nigerians at home and abroad and all of the broad family of mankind,

And Happy New Year from my OBSERVATORY to all of humanity.

Lest I forget, please do reach out and give love and peace in order to neutralise all the works of the dark forces that now abound in our world.

God bless our Nigeria,

Africa,

And all of humanity!
