In Condemnation of the Unparalleled Tyranny and State Terrorism in the United States of America at a time of the Rudderlessness of the global ship having no Captain.
Dear Donny Boy,
This is a quit notice to you to begin to clean up your desk and tender your resignation immediately or be swept away by Hurricane George via the imminent forces of the Floydian Effects which like the East winds is sure to sweep you out of that hallowed ground of service you have in the last three and a half years desecrated and turned into a 4th World country.
There are few things more synonymous with the American way of life than the suburbs. While certainly not without problems, the suburbs have been home to middle class Americans since the end of World War 2, and even before. But the suburbs are under attack from certain elements of the left as a source of social inequality and (what else?) “white privilege” and “white supremacy.”
If you are alarmed by this article, that’s a good thing. Because these elements of the American left seek nothing more than the total destruction of your way of life, from the people who live in your communities to the types of houses that you live in to the places where you will be allowed to shop and how you get from one place to another.

TIME TO EMBARK ON INTELLECTUAL DISTANCING – A VERY STRONG WARNING TO ALL COLUMNISTS/WRITERS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS IN NIGERIA PLAGIARISING, COPYING AND TEMPLATING MY WORKS/ARTICLES:
Again, this is a very strong warning to all those columnists in Nigeria, opinion writers, guest writers, speech writers for highly placed persons such as former Heads of State, company execs, Their Excellencies and such others who have been in the habit of plagiarising, my articles/works, copying, rehashing, templating, titrating, diluting them and going on to put their by-lines thereon to desist from this otherwise intellectual fraud or face being exposed and subsequently prosecuted.
SERIES: THE HOUR OF TRUTH
(PART 10): Porous borders and national security in times of national emergency and unparalleled adversity
MORE THAN SODOM AND GOMORRAH
This espousal, therefore, is my call to all humanity to like the prodigal son retrace their step, consider their way, re-examine themselves, seek the good way, ask for forgiveness, repent and return to God. And now is the time for those who have ears to hear, to hear.
GLOBAL MARSHALL PLAN
Despite this OPOSITE ALIEN, going about changing mankind’s way of life in the opposite direction, now is the time for the peoples of the world to come together and find solutions to contain and halt the ubiquitous tendency of these unseen forces now ravaging the human community forcing a sort of social apartheid on the nations of the world and all of their peoples.
As members of the broad human family, once this enemy is chased out of human community, the peoples of the world need to sit down together at the global arena/town square and ask very searching and pertinent questions.
For example, the peoples of the world through the UNO need to ask China when, how and why was COVID-19 allowed into the human community?
Why did China fail to be a good gatekeeper in her own portion/part of the world?
“Beneath our night

THE CHRISTIANS IN MODERN NIGERIA AND THE GREAT COMMISSION…IT’S NOT CHRISTLIKE TO BE LAWLESS!
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature”, Mark 16:15.
All the so-called preachers in Nigeria of today, delivering Inspirational Philosophy, Motivational and Developmental Psychology from the pulpits and calling such self-help as the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and living big at the expense of their very gullible flocks with the money contributed by their congregations as tithes and offering and other type of money they have induced their flocks to give through their sales marketing oratory and through the sales of their rubbish books must be made aware that Christians are not called to be boasting about the place and disrespecting the laws of the land as the African Pentecostal pastors are want to be doing all the time in the face of glaring poverty and general hardships in the continent, including the prevalent insecurity in every nook and cranny of Nigeria.
Please refer to this prophecy, read and reflect: http://vigilance-securitymagazine.com/news/general/nigeria-watch-international/10137-the-four-dreadful-judgements-against-nigeria-and-the-world-sword-and-famine-and-wild-beasts-and-plague
“Nigeria is big enough for all of us and I believe that the Igbo, Middle Belt and the Yoruba are the true Nigerians because if you look round our borders, people came from abroad and are still coming but Ndigbo have always been there, Middle Belt people have always been there, even Yoruba have always been there. “People who came in yesterday who have a duty of respect are now the ones talking. Going forward, we must create a federal democracy that will respond positively to all the aspirations of our people not about East-West but all about working together in equality, bringing in the youths and the women to build a new Nigeria.” Ouoted in Vanguard.

- General Yakubu Gowon, Father of the Nigerian Union and its arch defender…famously known for these eternal words of his to the Nigerian people and posterity:
- “TO KEEP NIGERIA ONE IS A TASK THAT MUST BE DONE.”
- Therefore, Rehoboam Muhammadu Buhari must learn from the FATHER OF MODERN NIGERIA, and pledge to GO ON WITH ONE NIGERIA (GOWON).
- If Buhari is a wise man, now is the time for him to rededicate and commit himself to NIGERIANISM as his greatest service and FINAL ACT to the nation and the coming generations of Nigerians. Our greatest gift and glory are not in oil, but in our diversity. Unfortunately, bigot Muhammadu Buhari is a misfit in that exalted office, so incapable of leading the nation to celebrate that diversity.

“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.” – Uthman Dan Fodio.
Psychopaths In Government…in Condemnation of Tyranny and Perversity
I will define the rule of lawlessness as a bestial/brutish and an ignominious behavioural tendency or practice unashamedly exhibited to promote, encourage and advance the philosophy, ideology of amorality and anarchism, whereby the laws of society and such others – rules and regulations as empowered any constituted authorities to act on behalf of the state for the smooth running of governance, harmonious and peaceful co-existence amongst the citizenry such as court orders are disdainfully treated with utter contempt, disrespect, indignity and impunity. The rule of lawlessness argues that there is not a thing as the rule of law in nature and in the world.
According to the principles of the rule of lawlessness, the good way is in fact, the bad way; whilst the right way is the wrong way. This being the case, untruth is the truth, and fake news is the real news!
RoL further argues that the so-called rule of law was an invention of the softie and weak-minded so-called democrats and the powerless, but loquacious humanists in control of the global media, who whenever they are about to lose an argument or perceive a potentially disadvantaged position in the body politics or on any given issue, would be the first to scream out and continue to like unruly mobs holler to whoever may care: RULE OF LAW! RULE OF LAW! RULE OF LAW!
“Son of man, tell that cursed and barren fig tree not to proceed any further.”
Series: Pray, pray and pray for the peace of Nigeria.
Sovereign Lord: And the Lord said to me: son of man, why sit ye under a cursed and barren fig tree that has not offered you shelter and brought you any solace and succour for over five seasons?
Son of man: Sovereign Lord, though the fig tree be cursed, dry and barren, sit I under it for the redemption of the House of Nigeria, hoping it might sprout leaves anew this coming spring, for the shelter and peace of these thy great people, even the Nigerian people.
Sovereign Lord: Son of man, until the rocks bring forth leaves and honey then.
Son of man: Sovereign Lord, never in all Nigeria was it ever told or heard that ever the rocks do bring forth leaves and honey.
Sovereign Lord: Then look up to the hills and write down what thou seeth and declare it to the accursed and barren fig tree.
Son of man: By the Lord Jehovah, I do hereby to the accursed and barren fig tree decree and declare: *MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
Sovereign Lord: Let with immediate effect the judgement come on the accursed fig tree as thou hath decreed against it and in its stead, let a good tree be planted.
Son of man: And as soon as I became human again, I dipped my pen into the ink well and began to write as the Spirit uttereth:

(PART 12): Porous borders and national security in times of national emergency and unparalleled adversity
Since July 13, 2020 when the 11th espousal on the current Nigerian tragedy, particularly the grave threat to national security, the looming famine beyond Biblical proportion, population explosion, intractable flooding, plight of the IDPs, the tragedy that is the children of Allah (the Almajirai), rape, youth violence, the danger of having kingdoms in kingdoms, terrorism, etc, JOHN ODEY ADUMA has been hibernating and incubating for ideas at his incubation/philosophical laboratory, and the result of that withdrawal from the crowd in search of the deeper things and meanings of life is what will be cascading from his intellectual Niagara Falls, and you would do well to enmesh/soak/saturate yourself in the falls.
And worried by the current state of reportage in the nations of the world, particularly in Nigeria, totally lacking in depth and investigation coupled with the usual resort and retreat to kinship or clannish journalism, the non-existent anonymous “authoritative source/s”, Aduma, whilst at the Daily Times of Nigeria Plc as its Editorial Board Chairman, had had to intervene to refocus the dumbing down of professionalism by propounding a theory he had then called Pyramidal or Tripodal or Triangular Criticism or Analysis, and in this series, you are going to read his latest media theories – The John Aduma Newsroom Boxes, the Dodecagonium; including political theories such as OMU, Nigerianistic Equality for the self-same reason, aimed at journalistic excellence and international best practice and in the furtherance of his vision of Nigerianism, Nigeriatopia and Nigerian exceptionalism.
You are, therefore, welcome to read, drink, soak yourself therein, debate, dissect and analyse, chew it, swallow it up, and become wiser and reflective, but you are not to plagiarise, copy and paste to claim its ownership, nor regurgitate it, but give credit to the author if you must make reference, quote from it or you are fascinated by any word, phrase/s or idea.
As a teenager at Aladura Comprehensive High School, Anthony Village, the age that the GIBB have chosen to join cultism and youth gang, it was Aduma’s dream to propound theories, be the most quoted intellectual on the planet earth and the greatest theorist and philosopher ever. And regarding that boyish dream, he is today widely quoted in academic journals and scholarly theses across the globe.
No doubt, you are already salivating and don’t want any further ‘traffic’ from the author on your way to his fountain of wisdom and knowledge, but before you are set loose, Mr Aduma ‘d like to ask you these questions: what is your dream?
Just what are your life’s dreams and goals? Happy reading!

With God, this Nigeria, God’s own beloved nation will rule the world
Yes, Nigeria, God’s own beloved nation, shall someday rule the world

Accepting one another in spite of our differences
Understanding and forgetting such differences
And working together side by side with our children
To build a strong and virile nation where in our diversity
Every citizen is treated equally and fairly.

The one-two punch of the Wuhan Coronavirus explosion, and the civil unrest of early 2020, led to an unprecedented growth in firearms ownership in America. All told, there were about two million firearms sold in the month of March 2020 alone. Between March and July, an additional three million were sold, with about half of those happening in the month of June.

HOW THE MODERN WORLD HAS BEEN WALKING ON ITS HEAD SINCE THE 1940s -
BUT HUMANITY WILL YET RETURN TO THE DEEP THINGS AND HIGHER VALUES OF LIFE ONCE MORE
7 “Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me,” Psalm 42:7.
Whist the Communists tried to purge humanity of God in the affairs of men and women, the humanists took that rebellious thinking further, but it is the Baby-Boomer-Beatle Generation with their unspoken slogan of BREAK EVERY RULE that actually went the furthest, thus making our world and the whole of humanity to be walking on their heads.
The BBBG might not have fully succeeded in taking God out of the minds of all human beings, particularly the Westerners and their gullible followers in and around the globe, but they actually succeeded in redefining the universal human morality or global morality, in which all UNNATURALNESS was accommodated and welcomed into human community, thereby displacing absolutism and replacing it with relativism, hence my term THE BABY BOOMER – BEATLE MORALITY (BBBM).
And in the Age of Donald Trump, the boundary of universal morality was further kicked from where it was left hanging precariously on a moral cliff by the BBBG until it fell into the bottomless abyss, whereupon UNTRUTH AND FAKE NEWS were spewed forth, with the whole world now walking on its head without an iota of morality or spirituality to hold onto any more, thus leading to the collapse of total morality and spirituality, with many Westerners now looking towards the East for salvation!
“… whilst it can be said that Nigeria is not working for the majority, it can in fact, be said that it has since the Amalgamation in 1914, been working for the few!”

MAMAN DAURA AND HIS ENTIRE FAMILY MUST VACATE THE VILLA IMMEDIATELY, FOR WE CAN ONLY HAVE ONE PRESIDENT, ONE FIRST LADY AND THEIR IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS AT A TIME IN THAT HOME OF UNITY.
THEY ARE A BUNCH OF SHAMELESS GUESTS IN THAT HOUSE THAT BINDS THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE TOGETHER, SO MUST MOVE OUT IMMEDIATELY.
AND IN A GOVERNMENTAL CALENDAR OF FOUR-YEAR TERM OR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS - NOT ANY PERCHING CATTLE EGRETS, LEECHES, PARASITES AND IGNOMINIOUS PESTS ARE TO SHARE THE NATIONAL HOUSE WITH THE FIRST FAMILY.
THIS IS NOT TANTAMOUNT TO SAYING ANY NATIONAL TENANT IN THAT HALLOWED PLACE OF SERVICE CANNOT HAVE RELATIONS IN THEIR COUNTRY HOMES OR PLACES OF BIRTH, MORE SO AS AFRICANS.
BUT CERTAINLY NOT AT THE NATION’S UNITY HOUSE, WHERE ONLY THE INCUMBENT AND MEMBERS OF HIS IMMEDIATE FAMILY SHOULD LIVE, HAVE THEIR BEING AND ENJOY THE PEACE THAT SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING SO THEY CAN GIVE THEIR UTMOST TO THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE, AFRICANS AND THE WORLD.
Embarrassing Choices...

“Of a truth, the two choices open to Nigerians today is that between a notorious murderer and a notorious robber-auctioneer as they troop out to vote once more, to elect the next person to captain SHIP NIGERIA, these choices of theirs are unenviable to me – but choose they must, as nature abhors a vacuum!
Despite these embarrassing choices left for Nigerians today, I say God bless our Nigeria still; and can I here say to Mother Nigeria: I LOVE THEE STILL, DESPITE ALL THY FAULTS!”

And I will call in the sword against him in all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man's sword shall be pointed against his brother.22And I will judge him with pestilence, and with blood, and with violent rain, and vast hailstones: I will rain fire and brimstone upon him, and upon his army, and upon the many nations that are with him.

THE STATE OF THE FEDERATION: PERSECUTION OF NIGERIANS IN NIGERIA – TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!
It is appalling as well as shocking to note that after over 60 years of living together, politically speaking, as a nation, and 105 years after the amalgamation of the two halves of the Niger by the British colonialist, Lord Frederick Lugard, Nigerians residing in States and regions outside of their natural abode – ethnic nationalities/regions are to this day seen and regarded as non-indigenes, settlers, aliens, guests/strangers even as migrants, parasites, leeches, dodders and mistle toes, etc – and so treated very shabbily, more so as outcasts, refugees, ‘assylum seekers’, IDPs, pariahs, harijans, almajiris, pests, nuisances, etc – better still, as political and social endoparasites and ectoparasites – by the so-called indigenes/’hosts’ or aluole, alaje (Yala, for owners of the home, owners of the land, and in Yoruba, simply as (awon) omonile, hence at will, these politico-socio-cultural wolves/predators hound, steal, kill, maim and destroy these ‘rodents’, cockroaches, pests and leeches just for the pleasure of it!
In the Part 2 of: Danger Ahead! Returning to Road ’66 is risking becoming a conflict zone perpetually…be warned, fellow Nigerian; now given a new title as above, JOHN ODEY ADUMA excavates and dissects the past, especially the volatile events of 15 January 1966 and the so-called revenge killings of July 29, 1966, and taking a hard look at the current state of anarchy arising from amongst other things, the abandonment of governance and abdication of responsibility by the captain of the ship of the Nigerian State, Sunni jihadist, Khalifa MUHAMMADU BUHARI (BABA DO NOTHING) - a notorious land robber, and peeping into his oracular glass, confirms that the current state of things coupled with the now pervasive persecution of Nigerian citizens by fellow citizens in their own country bears the semblance of the ‘60s, whereupon he sees Nigerians consciously on a lamentable journey back into that zone of the nation’s political pacific ring of fire – the zone of political volatility, ever known for its hyper-sensitivity, high flammability, supra volatility and supra-eruptibility.
Also, Aduma thinks in terms of national security and other things of national concern, which the jihadists and rugaites have resolved to ignore in order to pursue their missions of Islamism and expansionism, the Nigerian state is now not only in a state of nature, utter messiness and occupation by foreign Islamists/terrorists/jihadists, working alongside the local ones, and dancing to the orgiastic rhythms of the drums being beaten by the Presidency, palaces and the Fulani elites in high places, including the business community, but in a state of deadly and dangerous unknowable unknown unknowable.
He thus, hastens to warn Nigerians to change course immediately, seek the path of national brotherhood, nationhood, peace, justice and universal altruism. Happy reading!

NIGERIA: A JOURNEY BACKWARD…YES, THE NIGERIAN CIVIL WAR OF 1967-1970 WAS A JIHAD BY SOME OTHER NAME
As you read this article, I’d like you to imagine yourself inside a 1960 truck – Bedford model, having as its number plate FGN 1914 with passengers from all parts of Nigeria inside it being conveyed back to the past on this badly damaged and panel-beaten truck – DAURA EXPRESS, which had not only been patched and patched and welded again and again all over, but actually had seen many years – both good and bad, and both pleasant and unpleasant, whose driver is simply known at the motor park and by the passengers as BABA DAURA or BABA REHOBOAM, and his very sheepish and obsequious conductor is known variously to the same audiences as BABA RUGADITY or BABA AWOOF in which they hope to convey all the passengers therein back to the usually blood-littered, bumpy, crater-ridden infamous Federal Highway – ROAD ’66 believed to be worse and more dangerous than the Jericho Road of old.

INTRODUCTION
Under the Muhammadu Buhari-Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association and the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore-Sunni Arabs-led Government’s Operation Grazie, the exact equivalent of the 1962 Operation Wetie by the Yorubas that snowballed into series of events that ultimately led to the so-called Nigerian civil war (1967-1970), but which to this writer, was simply a jihad, every nook and cranny of the West African State of Nigeria is today grazable as on the highways, schools, colleges and the universities, libraries - even the OOPLA, Kongi’s residence, palaces, especially in the South, playgrounds, forest reserves, media houses, green belt areas, super markets, the Parliament (the so-called NASS), markets, churches and mosques, hair beauty and cow beauty salons, the sprawling Redeemed Estate/Holy Ghost Night ground, Canaan City, industrial estates, pubs, night clubs, etc, etc, whereupon the annoying cries of Moo, moo by cows rent the air with the people’s only weapon of defence is: Kai! Kai! Kai! as the cows invade and occupy every UNOCCUPIED and the already occupied spaces, including Bourdillon! But did I just hear my opportunistic sister activist, Aisha Muhammadu Buhari leaning her ‘jaw’ on the wall of IRUGA ONOKOKU to manage a weak contribution to this national tragedy by saying: THE FEAR OF COWS IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM?

“Thus, unarguably, whilst the Arab invaders left African with Koran to be beheading and bombing themselves, stealing, killing, maiming and destroying themselves, the Christian West left them with the Bible with which they have been using to rob “the least of these ones” of their widow’s mites. All this nonsense is due to the pervasive foolishness of all persons of African ancestry and their gross lack of imagination, innovation, creativity and inventiveness – the effect of the colonial education whose goal is perpetual mental slavery as evidenced amongst successive generations of all persons of African ancestry – the people politically and pejoratively referred to by the rest of the world as BLACKS.”

Sad tale of the Chief Cop who's stuck in medieval and colonial policing...policing ONLY with the POLICE without commonsensical policing and strategic thinking! At best, Ehigiator does his policing by burying his head in the SEA! Before going to Louis Edet House, SEA had left his head in Sapele, his birth place, hence criminals in Nigeria are sucking him like a ripe mango in Oredo Local Government Area, because they well know SEA and his equally very uncoordinated and headless team are merely flapping their wings before the invading hawks like a group of headless chickens in SAPELE.
"Stop this witch-hunt!" Fayose warns General Snail
Some of those who sponsored the President’s election have not done any other jobs apart from holding public offices. Yet, they provided private jets and funds with which the President campaigned across the length and breadth of Nigeria. He should let Nigerians know where they got money to buy private jets and the several billions of naira spent on his election.
This essay is akin to setting up the Yin (the dark negative feminine principle in Chinese dualistic cosmology) before the Yang (the bright positive masculine principle), is a prelude to my ensuing piece which will enumerate ample investment/business opportunities in Nigeria.
A shrewd entrepreneur will agree that some of the challenges discussed herein are themselves, business opportunities. Whilst the Nigerian business terrain promises very good return on investment to the savvy and patient; please quickly suck it in that doing business in Nigeria is not for the faint-hearted, but for the resilient and tough-minded.

"Every General in Nigeria, whether serving or retired, whether war General or a Disco-Brukutu-Pepper Soup General such as Tukur Buratai, who has been jumping about with a band of treacherous officers and men, deceiving himself, the nation and the world that he has been fighting terrorists – should all hang their heads in shame for collectively allowing our nation’s strategic defence to be so exposed as very, very weak, grossly deficient and inefficient, hence very incapable of withstanding any form of external aggression as just a band of miscreants has held the Nigerian nation to ransom for upward of 15 years now."

So you wanna hire police for your next party? Go see the DPO, give him 2p and take as many police as you can!
There is no country on the planet earth where police abuse by every LAGBAJA & JALAGBA is prevalent as in Nigeria. Police officers in Nigeria do not merely suffer verbal abuses in Nigeria hurled at them by most ungrateful Nigerians who think the business of policing is as cheap and easy as a man selling pepper soup (a Nigerian delicacy) and Ogogoro (Nigerian gin) at AJEGUNLE REPUBLIC.
EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL SUMMARY
Executive Editorial which is intended as a summary of burning national and international issues is the brain child of the EDITORIAL BOARDS OF VIGILANCE AND SCORPION to draw the attention of the nation's rulers to sensitive national issues in a concise manner and as the two Boards' inputs to the governance of Nigeria.

...The Mai Kunu-Ngbati Alliance From 1817 Till The Present And The Scramble for Nigeria Under Bad Loser Muhammadu Buhari
(Part Two)
The Plot is on: Forces of neocolonialism thinking of the right time to reposition themselves at the heart of the Nigerian matters...despite its sovereignty as they lost out during the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan's inglorious years, courtesy of GEJ's stupidly of adhering to the Africa-China Alliance spirit without putting on his thinking cap...Military Base/s, Strategic Defence, Gay rights...marriage amongst others. Oga Buhari na Times Influential Person now...more baits such as addressing Parliaments, Congress, UN, Nobel Prize nominations? Country people, make una just keep these in view, don't be in a hurry, just hold your peace bo...
More Dogs' and Baboons' Blood...? Forces of jihadism, Arabism, theocracy and neofeudalism - the very forces fueling religious crises in Africa since the 7th Century and in Nigeria, especially since Uthman Dan Fodio till the very present...BOKO HARAM and Others.
Against all odds, the 2015 Presidential election initially billed for February 14, but rescheduled to March 28, has come and gone. General Muhammadu Buhari, the APC candidate secured a total of 15,424,921 million votes (53.95%) to defeat incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan who garnered 12,853,162 votes (44.96%). Wall Street Journal says, "Buhari’s upset of incumbent President is arguably the most consequential political event in Africa in the last decadeâ€.
....The Mai Kunu-Ngbati Alliance From 1817 Till The Present And The Scramble for Nigeria Under Bad Loser Muhammadu Buhari
(Part One)
Ethnicist/Regionalist Muhammadu Buhari contested to rule Nigeria whilst being a Co-Patron of the regional assembly Arewa Consultative Forum with four other former Heads of State/Presidents such as Yakubu Gowon, Shehu Shagari, Ibrahim Babangida, Abdulsalami Abubakar and Atiku Abubakar...do you think an arch ethnicist/regionalist/religious bigot like Buhari will be fair to all Nigerians? But why was his candidature not voided when it is well known he is a highly partisan and divisive figure?

Introduction
For the interest of the uninitiated and to further appreciate the subject, a definition and brief introduction suffices. Simply put, a foundry is an industrial unit where metal castings are produced, usually in large quantities. The process basically involves casting metals into desired shapes by melting them in a furnace (generally at very high temperatures) and by pouring the metal into a mold and removing the mold material or casting after the metal must have solidified as it cools. Two major types of foundries are: jobbing foundry and captive foundry. The first is a foundry that creates a wide variety of castings, in small quantities for a range of customers. The second type i.e. captive foundry is a foundry that that is wholly incorporated into a larger manufacturing operation. Captive foundry only produces castings for the operation that it is a part of. Commonly processed metals include : aluminum, cast iron, bronze, brass, steel, magnesium, zinc etc.
Envisage Nigeria in the mould of a profit-oriented business concern where the CEO headhunts, assigns specific tasks to the staff. Staffer boasts s/he will deliver results within record time but several months, even years down the line, geezer starts finger pointing and buck passing. In the aforementioned context, a typical CEO wastes no time before firing, replacing such flippant employee(s).
Preamble
If there is a critical discourse on the front burner currently in Nigeria, it is on unrelenting insecurity – pervasive kidnap for ransom and extortion, overwhelming banditry, resilient and resurging Boko Haram attacks on soft/hard targets, seeming helplessness of Nigerian security agencies, especially the military and deafening calls for the Service chiefs to voluntarily, honorably throw in the towel or be sacked. The secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), Mr. Boss Mustapha says ‘’you don’t just wake up and sack people like that, there are processes and I believe that, at the ‘opportune’ time, those processes will be followed. This suggests that the service chiefs who have served their tenures may not be replaced anytime soon. The aforesaid statement credited to the SGF and an Op-ed on Africa Briefing by a professional colleague – Mr. David Otto titled, ‘’Changing Nigeria’s military leadership at the height of Boko Haram/ISWAP attacks is a tactical suicide’’. Nigerians are being slaughtered, kidnapped in their numbers every day. Someone please tell the commander-in-chief that the ‘opportune’ time is now. There's a fierce urgency to be decisive now!
Terrorism is generally defined as the deliberate use of violence against non-combatants for political reasons. Examples of organizations that have been accused of terrorism include Al-Qaeda, the Irish Republican Army, Boko Haram, Hamas, Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, and Al-Shabab, among others. Some groups have rejected the view that they are terrorist organizations. Palestinian organizations deemed terrorists in particular argue that since all adult Israelis receive military training and are able to use weapons, there are no real adult non-combatants in Israel. Therefore, they reason, all Israeli adults are legitimate targets for bombings or shootings.
1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
Free, fair and peaceful election are requisites of a democratic society through which citizens cast their votes to usher in a particular political party or politicians of their choice based on the convictions of the electorate. This ideal situation is far-fetched in many evolving democracies such as Nigeria where pre- and post-election violence stifles the very cornerstone of democracy: freedom of choice, civic participation, accountability, rule of law and trust in state officials and institutions.
My Dear Britannia,
I have just watched a policeman in GREAT Britain on Sky News kneeling on a man’s (suspect’s?) neck and I started screaming: UNBRITISH! UNBRITISH! UNBRITISH!

“Russia has landed on the moon, the U.S.A. too has landed on the moon and China has just landed, but Nigerians can’t even feed themselves and govern themselves yet at a time when the re-colonization debate is ongoing in the West.
What occupies the minds of the babies called Nigerians are what they can eat, wear, the latest exotic cars and technologies, marrying many wives, partaking in the National Cake Extravaganza, endless partying (Owambe), Obitos, wealth without working – money, money, money, appearances, dumping one girl and going for another, moon sighting as directed by the Sultan of Sokoto and other emirs, the niqab/hija wahala, hunting for miracles, where they can live, accolades and approval of society.”
Chad has ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) in 1995, more popularly known as the Women's Convention is the international women's rights treaty that spells out women's rights and obliges governments to ensure respect for these rights. However, it's still not sure whether there are some Chadian women know that if Chad ratified the optional protocol to CEDAW or the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa, better known as the Maputo Protocol.
SERIES: BUHARISM AND THE FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW
Never in the history of all polities and democracies had a party so enjoyed a 100% goodwill as the APC did, whilst campaigning and on actually capturing power, but gone ahead to squander it on the altars of complacency, incurable crass insensitivity, divisiveness, authoritarianism, politcal aggrandizement, vendetta, grandiose greed/avarice, nepotism, regionalism, stupendous corruption, favouritism, hereditary privilege, religious bigotry, violence to national psyche and actual blood-lettings, cultural ethnocentrism and imperialism.
As the potentate of the ancient city of Kano, SLS points his accusing finger at the Yorubas for being the troublers of the Nigerian Federation, he must not forget that four fingers are pointing back at himself and his ilk - the caliphate delusionists, and by extension, his own Fulani ethnic nationality that have continued to hold the nation by the jugular since independence. And what is more, under the current Hausa-Fulani Government as led by Muhammadu Buhari, a supra Fulani irredentist like Sanusi himself, the whole of the nation's five fingers are pointing at his nomadic cousins for their bestial tendencies, brutishness and monstrosity!
Non-caliphate Nigerians seem to have no clue what time it is in their history. They are unaware that they have arrived at the fateful junction where, depending on how they vote on Feb 14, they will either go into slavery for untold generations to come, or set out on a path to liberation. They have sleepwalked into their moment of fateful decision. If they don’t wake up now, they could vote themselves into slavery. But if, by some miracle, they are startled or shaken awake, they have a chance to vote their way out of the slavery path on which they have been for 70 years.
My task today is to help them see that such is the case. In the first section “Discourse on our mumuâ€, I shall explore why most Nigerians have been oblivious of what the basic struggle in Nigeria has been about since 1945. I shall then, in the section “2015 Election issuesâ€, examine the issues that are dominating this election. And show why the peoples of the New South should not allow themselves to be conned into voting for Buhari, the Caliphate candidate.
Introduction
Although there is no strict legal definition as there is for a refugee, but the United Nations Report - Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement defines an Internally displaced people/persons (also referred to as DPRE in many civil and military parlance) as people or groups of people who have been forced or obliged to escape or to leave their homes or places of habitual residence, in particular as a result of or in order to avoid the effects of armed conflict, situations of generalized violence, violations of human rights or natural or human-made disasters, and who have not crossed an internationally recognized State border. Please note that an internally displaced person (IDP) should not to be confused with the term "displaced person," which may encompass both internally displaced persons and refugees. The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) asserts that internally displaced persons or IDPs as they are sometimes referred to are among the world’s most vulnerable or defenseless people. According to the UNHCR, by the end of 2014, a record-breaking 38 million people were forcibly displaced within their own country by violence.

Since Buhari was elected President, non-Caliphate pundits have been publicly offering suggestions on the changes he should make. These are changes the pundits think can fix Nigeria’s well-known problems: Corruption, the bloated and costly government structures, the lavish emoluments of legislators, and the like. Fooled by Buhari’s “Change†mantra, they imagine that what concerns them, fixing Nigeria in the interest of ordinary Nigerians, is also of interest to Buhari.

There can be no more auspicious time than now for world leaders to opt for a more humane approach in their handling of the socio-economic and political issues in the world. The world and humanity in general are suffering from an acute depression of emotional neglect caused by many of the present prevailing socio-economic and political policies being used as reform models.

Wake up, Fellow Nigerians
HOW THE ABSENCE OF CREATIVITY IN NIGERIA HAS MANIFESTED ITSELF IN NATIONAL LIFE SINCE THE DEPARTURE OF THE COLONIALISTS
As observed in many of my writings since 1989, this national malaise is due to the type of educational system the British colonialists left Africa with on their departure from the shores of Africa – learning by rote, just learning how to read and write. Thus, Nigeria’s educational system and by extension, the African educational system lacks aims and objectives – lacks purpose, focus and devoid of any philosophical and ideological foundations.

Fulani Lebensraum genocide and the 2019 election
And what has the 2019 election got to do with it? The 2019 election is key to the Fulani retaining the state power for completing their Lebensraum genocide jihad.
The only effective protection for us South and Middle Belt Nigerians is to partition Nigeria, between the Fulani Caliphate’s Shariyaland and the rest of us; and to do so before the 2019 election, which Buhari is set to rig, so that the Fulani Republic of Nigeria has no jurisdiction over our lands. Only then will any further Fulani attack (whether by Boko Haram, Fulani Herdsmen, Fulani militia; the Nigerian army, air force and navy etc.) on any community in the Middle Belt and South, become an attack across international boundaries and therefore an act of international aggression that will trigger Chapter 7 intervention by the UN Security Council to stop it.
All other proposed solutions to Nigeria’s problems, and especially to the killings, are obsolete. Armed resistance by ill equipped ethnic militias like OPC, Massob, Niger Delta Avengers, is obsolete; any internal constitutional solution, including True Federalism, is obsolete: Restructuring in particular is obsolete.
Lack of the time for carrying them out before the Fulani genocide juggernaut completes its mission has made them obsolete. The only remedy is the immediate partition of Nigeria, with Chapter 7 intervention by the UN.
DEAR LORD, PLEASE GIVE ME ONE NIGERIA OR I DIE
Stay together,
Grow together.
Stay apart,
Grow apart
Fall apart, die apart.
Oh Lord God Almighty,
Let this be my one and only cry to thee, even this season:
Give me ONE NIGERIA or I die!
E GO BETTER-O!
GOOD MORNING FELLOW, NIGERIANS…HAPPY
ANNIVERSARY,
AND MAY GOD BLESS OUR NIGERIA, IN SPITE OF.

THE PEACEMAKER'S PLEDGE
BY JOHN ODEY ADUMA, PUBLISHER AND BRITISH CHEVENING SCHOLAR, UNITED KINGDOM
Nigeria will not break up...Nigeria will never, ever break up! But Nigeria will prevail!
Fellow Nigerians, hold thou it neither tight nor loosely, but handle thou it with great care.
Be ye therefore, wise as a serpent...
...And peaceful as doves!
I am a person of peace
I don't fight, I don't kill,
I can get angry, I can disagree with you,
But it won't go down with the sun
I am a lover of peace, I hate violence.
I don't kill because life is precious to God
I am peaceful; I am not violent
This life is given to me as a prize;
So I will do all to preserve it.
I won't spill blood,
So don't approach me to kill
Anybody for money
Because I just won't do it for any price!
You may not even go elsewhere
Because I'm not sure you will get someone
To kill your political opponent,
Or business partner,
Or whosoever you disagree with.
I will not attack anyone violently,
Life is precious to God,
I'll rather donate blood than shed blood.
I will not steal, kill, maim and destroy,
I'll rather love
And do all to enhance life on earth
For the upliftment of mankind
And the glory of God.
This is my pledge, this is my resolve,
So help me God.
*This message was first presented to the Government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by the Movement for African Renaissance and Universal Brotherhood (now Movement for African Renaissance and Global Peace) in a giant gold-plated plaque on October 14, 2002, during a courtesy call by the Author on former President Olusegun Obasanjo at the State House in Abuja.

Inside the London Underground tube in the hot Summer of July 2006
How come that everyone
Has suddenly turned to a walking volcano
Flaring up at the slightest touch,
Barking at each other on the tube
Like the Alsatian bulldog
And behaving like a cat and dog?
The sky fell on Lebanon
And smashed her to shreds
And so the sky fell;
SERIES: THE POETRY OF JOHN ODEY ADUMA (FROM THE TREE BY THE RIVER)
As you run amok like a wounded lion
Bombarding Lebanon with your missiles
And US-made cluster bombs,
The world is asking, and posterity too is asking:
Is this disproportionate offensive
To avenge two of your soldiers
Captured by Hezbollah?
SERIES: THE POETRY OF JOHN ODEY ADUMA, FROM THE TREE BY THE RIVER
The whole humanity now knows
You are wiser than your rider
Who without provocation head-butted you
In the glare of the Klieg lights.
And the whole wide world -
Even the world now knows
That you are more cultivated, cultured and civilized
Than your rider who without caring a hoot
Threw civility and decorum to the winds.
Without doubt, he showed he, and not you, was
A helpless creature, a mere child
In the hands of ungovernable temper.
The world admires you for bearing
That unwarranted aggression with equanimity.
You showed strength, while your rider
Showed crass weakness;
You showed self-restraint, maturity and universal altruism.
And by that example you showed the world
That non-violence is the true path to global peace,
If all humanity and all creatures would ever live
Together in peace and harmony with one another.
Even Gandhi would have been proud of you were he alive.
Had Israel, Hezbollah and Hamas
Shown such unparalleled restraint,
The Middle East would not be
The field of blood that it is today.
Had the US and Britain not lapsed into
Conspiratorial etcetera in the resolution
Of the war between Israel and Hezbollah,
That senseless war would have ceased long ago.
Worthy ambassador of your family,
By not fighting back, you have said
To all belligerent human beings of
Every race and clime, “You fools!”
For always resorting to war instead of dialogue
And proved that silence is not just golden, but strength
And that old debate about who is higher,
Between man and other creatures such as you
Has finally been put to rest by your stoicism.
O’ wicked and intemperate rider, what wisdom is there to attack
A creature that said nothing and did no wrong?
What could be the reason for such purposeless malignity?
What is the reason for the existence
Of violence in human community?
What, what is the reason for wars in our world?
Where is justice when an innocent creature
Like the horse is attacked with such ferociousness?
Now, let all humanity learn from the non-violence of the horse
So, there can be harmony and peace in our world;
So, we can live here in peace as one;
So, we can live on this planet earth
As one big family imbibing the spirit of universal altruism,
Differences in creeds notwithstanding.

SERIES: THE POETRY OF JOHN ODEY ADUMA, FROM THE TREE BY THE RIVER
Flood, flood, flood everywhere,
And no route of escape
Nor a place to which we shall escape.
Therefore, we will remain here with the water,
We will remain here with this water
Unmoved, unbowed, uncowed, but stoical,
for this place – VENICE;
is our home
and our inheritance.
SERIES: THE POETRY OF JOHN ODEY ADUMA
“What did we do?”
This is our eternal question to insensate humanity
Which takes delight in abandoning us in the firing line
In their various wars of attrition
And making us always to suffer the brunt of their
Senseless rancour and vendetta resulting in wars of blame.
Today, the voices of children the world over ringing across
The vistas of time are asking, “What did we do?”
Man:
Do not weep for me,
But weep for yourself that are endangered
In this compact planet,
You have harried the forests
And frittered the rocks;
You have burrowed the mountains
And scattered the hills for treasures;
You have disturbed the tranquil of the deep sea
And polluted the atmosphere
And excavated the secret chambers of the ocean.
Prodigal child, you have plundered the flora
And prey on the fauna
But when will you be wise?
Would you rather keep faith with Kyoto
Or shed crocodile tears for me?
And do you now drag your infants to the Thames
In cold winter weeping for me?
Do you now defy the cold in hypocrisy?
Lining the walls and embarkment just to have a glimpse of me?
Would you rather save a whale
Than save the whole planet from the Armageddon?
But better that Kyoto is honoured than I’m honoured.
Ah, man!
You have so soon forgotten how many bills and policies
You have killed in parliaments and conferences
All you hypocrites, do not weep for me,
But weep for your folly.
O man, did you think I strayed?
I came to warn you and then die
My struggles in the Thames
Are your struggles on the planet
Though I was washed ashore,
You shall be washed inshore, sooner or later,
Artic will further melt and Katrina will come again
And the hurricanes will return in deadlier furies
The sun will give up its light
And the moon will fall and crash to the earth
And the stars will cease to sparkle
And it will all be darkness around you
And the waters will wash you inshore.
Where, where then are you going to run to?
Trapped, trapped are you in this enclosed space,
O man, everlasting prisoner in this hellish realm
Do you weep for me?
Don’t, but weep for yourself that are endangered
Though I struggled against the current of the Thames
You shall struggle yet more
Against many merciless tides, more severe,
Ah! Deadlier and worse than Tsunami and Katrina
Therefore, do not weep for me, but weep for your future.
