JOS - NIGERIAN CITY OF CHILLS AND OF UNFORTUNATE BLACK AMERICANS; My beautiful trip to the Nigerian Land of hippies and hoppies.

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta
As I read the above quote all that came rushing to my head like dry cold in harmattan in the Sahara was my beautiful sojourn to a Nigerian city trapped in the middle of her Nothern region. My very first expedition into the north, I have as a kid to Sokoto but I can't remember, all the stories are in the head of my mother, I have no memory of it, so I don't have a story of mine to it and that means I didn't visit at all.

It all started on the 30th of September, I was giving an invite by a cousin to come visit Jos and have a feel of it, especially of its coldness - which I thought was over exaggerated because Nigerians are dramatic and can overblown the littlest of things and also for its coziness and cosmopolitan-ness too.

Although before visitin I just didn't agree Jos could be as cold as it was told by many that have visited, I'm sorry I'm a skeptic but that's what pushed me into learning a lot about my life and the universe. I'm actually a replica of Thomas in the bible, you need prove me more than doubt. I still will not like to be blessed by not seeing facts as they say "Blessed are those who believe without seeing". Such quotes ain't coined for my kind because I believe Assumption, Guess, and hastened conclusion is the mother of fuck ups. So I took my bag and packed my stuffs, armed to the teeth like a guerrilla fighter and was off for Jos. I just didn't take chances I came with a thick sweat shirt and all that transpired is close to detailed.

I took a bus from Maraba in the outskirts of Abuja and headed for Jos. As I embarked on my voyage all that came into my adventurous mind is how much bombs were going off in Jos and how I could be a victim. Then the case of the herdsmen also left terrifying chills on me and I felt we'll encounter an attack but as we moved on, I saw cars moving freely and I felt safe a bit. I disembarked at Maraba-njama and took another cab for NTA taxi park and that's when the true ugliness of Jos came to play. The roads were terrifically ugly, the ugliness can only beat the masqueradish face of Jonah Jang the past governor of the face and for once I felt a new saying should emerge "Show me the face of your governor and I'll predict your state" but then I was already judging the book(state) by its cover(entrance).

I'll spare you the other details of how the people were ready to help me with every little means they can, showing me routes and very quick to say me a welcome like I was in heaven and the angels were eager to have me in. So I took another cab to terminus to meet my cousin who was waiting to pick me up and take me home, the others are just a concise detail of what made me love, hate and weep for Jos and Josites as they'll love to call themselves.
Jos is a beautiful city, A city with a semi-African consciousness because the dress sense disconnects of the African reality and that's pitiable because of the cold(Jos is so cold) but they are so much African in the food. They are hip hop goons, I love their English accent, their American styled life and their hospitality especially the girls who are ready to please your venereal desires.
I really miss Jos, especially the serene and quiet roads of Tundu Wada, Apollo crescent and wase road. All these roads reminds of American quarters in Onireke, Ibadan where I had my elementary education with whites in the most beautiful roads with trees in awesomeness and near perfection. I miss the evening walks with my cousin, the cheap beers and famed lewd entertainment at "rest of mind" area. I miss the good staffs of City Lodge hotel who really took me in on the goodwill of my beautiful cousin Ijeoma Arupuo . I miss the noodles with all them fruits and Spanish omelet with a bottle of chilled coke. The combination is priceless.

I miss the good priest Fr. Bid at the Novetiate seminary. An old man but who never minded we talk about marriage, spirituality, politics, morals and many more, I'll always disagree with authorities, I'm a rebel and he took all that with so much admiration. I miss the three course meal he offered me, it's so priceless but these men dey enjoy shah. I'll love to debate with him again, he's such a welcoming man with a large beautiful soul.

I miss the cheap transportation and seeing stoned niggas - the real unfortunate Americans, who are so high on cheap burukutu, a bowl cost 50naira and that shit knocks them down more than what crack does to a homeless American, I could only weep at the sight of all that. This thing enslave their souls, I can see it in their eyes.

I miss the hoods and sagged pants and the English accented tongue, obviously African Rap was built in Jos, for Jos and by Jos. It's one thing I couldn't take away from them. They're a really proud folk, proud of who they're and what they're so lucky to have but others see as a curse.

I miss that feeling of a bomb going off at every step I took, lol. I really don't want that feeling but I love Jos though, it's a beautiful old city with terrifying chill in the dawn of the day. My next visit I'll hike the sherry hills and picnic at the Wildlife park.

Finally, I don't miss tuwo shinkafi, I can't understand it at all, I guess I'm not cut for new meals. I also do not miss hard dock corn chowder with palsy vegetable - a white cuisine that looks so scary, I'm still trying to wake up from that gory sight. Lol

I will leave you with this kind words from Augustine of Hippo which says, "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page."
I miss JOS, it's a beautiful city!!!

Youths the future of a nation; more than just a lie but a vicious hypnosis. 

It was Kurt Cobain that said "The duty of a youth is to challenge corruption." The first time I read this what came rushing into my mind like waters falling from the Niagara was another saying that "Youths are the future". Quite contradictory quotes but then one is the truth and the other ain't.

Cobain's opinion is beautiful, it's one I'll always speak of everywhere I had the chances of speaking because I don't see the young man as the future but rather he's the present, he can do it right only if he puts his energy and strength to effective purpose to nation building.

Corruption as we know is the bane of the Nigeria problems. It is that single word that describes all of our shortcomings and it's a problem of today not future, so why are we called the future when there are problems we as youths need to tackle today and be a part of its solution than push it to tomorrow. Corruption affects us the most.

Youths are not the future, we're the present, we're today, we're not tomorrow, there's nothing like tomorrow, don't get fooled. There will never be a future if we don't act now. I recount an incident with an uncle he said I was the future because of the vigor I put into community development, youth awakenness and other movements I did and I stopped him and said i am today not the future, and that's why I have put my usefulness to work today and he got infuriated at me, for trying to act the Robin hood to a clichéd quote which to me is a great injustice to the youth, who are young at mind and strong at the bones. I found out his only pain was because I was posing a threat to him because he feels his own future as youth was close even at the old age of 56.

People say I'm disrespectful and arrogant and I'm unapologetic if they feel so when I say old men should just sit at home and tell us how to go about the business of nation-building. They say knowledge is dealing me a blow negatively but yea wisdom ain't strength. Is it? Well it is in a way, intellectual strength but i'm talking about physical strength that will make you work a couple more hours.

In saner societies the Roman Empire as a model and example, the old goes to the senate and congress. They debate and proffer solutions bedeviling the nation because they've worked as young people too and now should have a wide view of national issues.
The young possess strength and strength is what we need most times with the herculean tasks of nation building while the old has the intellectual strength, the very wisdom and experience to pinpoint us the mistakes of the yores and making sure we avoid a repetition.

Let's take a critical look at the Nigerian leaders at independence, the same people recycling themselves now. Yakubu Gowon was the head of state at 32, Zik was in his early forties and he was the oldest of them all and so many others too and I ask in modern Nigeria political and leadership affairs how many people at 40 holds sensitive positions in government? I doubt if there's any and if there's any they simply are people who are compensated for their father's rule.

Forgive my overly activeness on National issue, there are still exceptions to these. I do not suggest a total overhaul of the old from government issues, I'm only saying they should go to where experience and wisdom is necessary. Actually it doesn't mean there ain't exceptional old ones with both attributes(strength and wisdom) same with the young too. We can get it done when such people emanates and show us they have that vigor.

Dear youths, I will say the biggest lie youths of today have been told and they end up believe in and have gone an extra mile to make them intellectually and motivationally incapacitated is to believe they're the future. I have fought old people who told me this, I won't stop till this tool of hypnosis is canceled out from the mouth of the old, blackmailing us subconsciously and also making us insensitive to issues that affects us the most.

I do not know about you but I do not belong to any future because there are no future in my dictionary. I'm today, I am now, I can't be tomorrow because tomorrow never comes.
Youths are the now, don't get fooled with the promise of a tomorrow that you ain't sure of seeing. Grab the future now, tomorrow might just be too late like the Christian's salvation preaches.

Top American constitutional lawyer publishes scathing open letter to President Buhari  

U.S citizen and constitutional/international lawyer Bruce Fein has penned an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari regarding what he considers as the President’s selective prosecution of corruption charges against former officials in the Goodluck Jonathan administration. Fein points out that the current administration’s anti-corruption move was not even-handed in the pursuit of justice, advising Buhari to “make the hallmark of your administration justice, not retribution, and you may live for the ages.”

Fein, who served as a senior official in Ronald Reagan’s Justice Department, is a principal in a government affairs and public relations firm, The Lichfield Group, based in Washington, D.C.

See the full text of Fein’s letter below:

Aso Rock, Abuja
Nigeria

Dear President Buhari:

When you visited the United States Institute of Peace last July, you pledged that you would be “fair, just and scrupulously follow due process and the rule of law, as enshrined in [the Nigerian]constitution” in prosecuting corruption.

Such loftiness is laudable. As the Bible instructs in Amos 5:24: “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.”

But to be just, the law must be evenhanded. It cannot, in the manner of Russian President Vladimir Putin, be something that is given to punish your enemies and withheld to favor your friends. If so, the law becomes an instrument of injustice bearing earmarks of the wicked rather than the good.

In the United States, you declared a policy of “zero tolerance” against corruption. You solicited weapons and other assistance from the United States government based on that avowal. But were you sincere?

During your election campaign, you promised widespread amnesty, not zero tolerance. You elaborated: “Whoever that is indicted of corruption between 1999 to the time of swearing-in would be pardoned. I am going to draw a line, anybody who involved himself in corruption after I assume office, will face the music.”

After you were inaugurated, however, you disowned your statement and declared you would prosecute past ministers or other officials for corruption or fraud. And then again you immediately hedged. You were reminded of your dubious past by former Major General and President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, who succeeded your military dictatorship. He released this statement:

“On General Buhari, it is not in IBB’s tradition to take up issues with his colleague former President. But for the purpose of record, we are conversant with General Buhari’s so-called holier-than-thou attitude. He is a one-time Minister of Petroleum and we have good records of his tenure as minister. Secondly, he presided over the Petroleum Trust Fund, PTF, which records we also have.

We challenge him to come out with clean hands in those two portfolios he headed. Or we will help him to expose his records of performance during those periods. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. General Buhari should be properly guided.”

You then swiftly backed off your zero tolerance policy because you would have been its first casualty.
You opportunistically announced that zero tolerance would be narrowed to the predecessor administration of Goodluck Jonathan because to probe further would be “a waste of time.” That conclusion seems preposterous. In 2012, the World Bank’s ex-vice president for Africa, Oby Ezekwesili, estimated that a stupendous $400 billion in Nigerian oil revenues had been stolen or misspent since independence in 1960. The lion’s share of that corruption spans far beyond the Jonathan administration.

Your zero tolerance policy seems to come with a squint to avoid seeing culpability in your political friends. A few examples are but the tip of the iceberg.

A Rivers State judicial commission of inquiry found that N53 billion disappeared from the Rivers State Reserve Fund under former governor Rotimi Amaechi. Former Lagos governor and head of your campaign finance team Babatunde Fashola was accused of squandering N78 million of government money to upgrade his personal website. The EFCC has ignored these corruption allegations, and you have given both promotions: the Ministry of Transport to Mr. Amaechi, and the Ministry of Power, Works, and Housing to Mr. Fashola.

In contrast, you have played judge, jury, and prosecutor in the newspapers to convict former PDP Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke of corruption.

Is this evenhanded justice?

United States Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson taught: “There is no more effective practical guaranty against arbitrary and unreasonable government than to require that the principles of law which officials would impose upon a minority must be imposed generally. Conversely, nothing opens the door to arbitrary action so effectively as to allow those officials to pick and choose only a few to whom they will apply legislation and thus to escape the political retribution that might be visited upon them if larger numbers were affected.”

To investigate or prosecute based on political affiliation or opinion also violates Articles 2 and 7 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is unworthy of a great nation like Nigeria.

Make the hallmark of your administration justice, not retribution, and you may live for the ages.

I am a United States citizen and lawyer. I have no political standing in Nigeria. Some might argue that my speaking about the administration of justice in Nigeria bespeaks impertinence But you chose to visit the United States to solicit weapons and other assistance from my government–a government of the people, by the people, for the people. The United States government represents me. What the United States government does reflects on me. I thus have an interest in addressing the actions of foreign governments that receive United States government aid.

Sunshine is said to be the best of disinfectants.

Sincerely,

Kwarshiokor Of Hope

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present." Bil Keane
I stumbled on this quote days back and I started pondering and reflecting on the unending journey called Nigeria. The strive that tomorrow will be better and that all we wish today could become a substance of fulfillment today and I researched, debated with the older generations on hope and to be terribly disappointed I see how much hope these failed generations have.
I know you'll go cursive at me on why I should call my old ones name, a thing that's unafrican, a xenolithic norm to the African scenario and I'll look and just feel bad on how hypocrisy has been misconcepted with African values and ethos but that will be a discourse for another day.
Like I've said the older generation is a failure and I'm unapologetic about it but I see my own generation will turn out a greater failure if things are not set right. Failure is not a question of age nor status but if a team like Barcelona losses Messi who is an individual success on his own stands to be called failure with the others. So I'm spitting it again that the older Generation failed us and we're living out the mentorship of their training.

Few days back I got a call from a Nigerian friend resident in America and we talked about a lot of things and tried to catch up on our various lives and when talked about Nigeria and it's undelivered promises we were enveloped in an ixora of sadness and he told me "Nna Echi di ime" which means tomorrow is pregnant of hope and I striked him back that probably our Tomorrow has kwarshiokor and we're mistaken it for pregnancy.

As all these transpired and the call ended, I was hit by a cacophony of voices and pains, sounds with the most vicious reverberation and when I tried to catch my cool, it dawned on me that Nigeria is a nation filled with good people but hopeless optimists. We're all pregnant but is it of true pregnancy of hope or a protruding tummy filled with void and air which we mistaken for hope.

I urge Nigerians, we need more than hope, we need actions. Hopes don't come with crass passivism, a hopeful man must still work and strive to achievement. We can't pride ourselves as pregnant with hope when this is worse than a fibroid. We're malnourished to start hoping, we must fight nepotism in high places and speak up against these morose of leaders. We must drop this sheer hedonism. We must revitalize our lives and kick this hopeless optimism which is simply a Kwarshiokor of Hope.

INDIFFERENCE; THE WRONG CHOICE WE ARE ALWAYS QUICK TO CHOOSE

Today like every other day of my life; especially in this my times of self awakening. I woke up to a lot of hopes and strives for a better today because tomorrow never comes it is always keep moving forward and thus I will call it an infringement of our aloofness. Tomorrow just that day which will never come. This my strives are offshoots of my decisions and then as I lay on my sofa before the day begins I pondered and reminisced over my past life which was a total tale of indecisiveness and I could not help but laugh and hate at my former me for been enshrined in a such an indifferent filled past that have kept me in a state of stagnancy, aloofness, slavery, and self deceit, which led to the failure of others and my past life in irrelevance. I wonder how I could have lived in such an inglorious, indecisive and yet shameful past of indifference. Some tales of yore I remember and I just get happy I am no more that. 

I know I bored you already with my past, I deeply apologize because we are better preachers if we have experienced what we now fight against. It is a factual fact that I found recourse and strength in my past, especially in moments like this I backlash myself. That is actually a way I look up to a future I intend fulfilling and smile at a present laced with braveness, confidence, risks and full of decisions- sometimes wrong and other times right. These decision mine and I am elated I can for once be accountable and responsible for the life I now lead. 

I will urge you ride with me on this and take every of my paulinity, lol. I coined it paulinity is my state of writing gotten from been Pauline. Please do take my paulinity seriously it will serve as the footpath to the point I intend to hit as we go through this article of decisiveness.

So I urge you stay with me as I love to be with you. I know a lot of us that will be opportune to read this will wonder what I intend discussing or passing on, in this pale looking topic of discussion called INDIFFERENCE but I will urge we first consider defining the word Indifference.

Firstly, what is indifference? INDIFEFERENCE is etymologically defined as “NO DIFFERENCE” I know you wonder is this all I have to say after narrating my whole autobiography but I must disappoint us that words are sometimes not just what we think of them at the surface. Words sometimes are beyond just mere words with straight meanings but most times they are actions and inactions frequently controlling our daily living, ideologies that stand alone and that’s what INDIFFERENCE mean. According to Elie Wiesel, a world war 2 survivor of the Death camps of the Nazis, he said Indifference is a strange and most unnatural state in which the lines blur between; good and evil, peace and war, dusk and dawn, Light and darkness, crime and punishment, viciousness and compassion, love and hatred, and I will add being hero and being villain, bravery and cowardice. I will encompass all these into the ascertainable boundary that is invisible to all that is positive and their various negativities. Indifference lies in between this point.

A good instance that helps speak so much on the danger of indifference is the story of Rev. Martin Niemollar; a German protestant preacher, who was in support of the Hitler Reich(world war @) but was later punished by the same movement he once refused to speak against. Let me add that when you refuse to speak against evil, you are indirectly supporting it. I am so much sure he wrote this piece in agony and awful regret on how the Nazis took over Germany, mentally and territorially. He said and I quote;

“First they came for the socialist and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist. 

Then they came for the tribal unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a tribal unionist.

Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me.”

These words from the mouth of this famous German preacher explain indifference in the most simple language and that is that the indifferent person is an enemy of the victim and a friend of the oppressor without him knowing.

To buttress and expantiate more on this discourse, I'll like to classify humans into these three distinctive set; The oppressor, the oppressed and the bystanders - the indifferent person. The bystanders are the set of persons who sit on the fence and do not contribute anything whether good occurs or evil befalls people as far as it doesn't affect them. They're the set of persons who stay indecisive waiting on those who will turn up the winner in any fight, struggle or debate. The bystanders and the repercussion of been so is also explained in the biblical tale of the war between God and Lucifer. While the war went on some certain angels sat at side and watch on, hoping to move in with the winners but when God won, they were pushed off with the devil and definitely you know they won't be so welcomed in hell likewise because of their indecisiveness. Punishment will end up been unleashed on them just for not taken a stand. 

I know deep down, at this point you have your own instances and stories on indifference and the very end of each story and dangers it actually pose to the society. I also know how much the Indifference of America during the world war 2 caused, the singular act of not intervening till the excesses of Hitler was going to wreck them, the callousness of turning back over a thousand Jews at the marine border of America back to Germany, which led to their untimely death. Just a single act of indifference led to the death of persons and the truncation of many dreams and brought bitterness to the faces of people even after eight decades. History still recognizes it as indifference. 

The height of indifference is mostly encountered in wars, the biafra war, the Rwanda(Hutu-tutsi) war and many other uncountable crises that a single act of concern could have brought to an abrupt end and saved quantum of lives, hopes and dreams.

Indifference is dangerous too, in a very cunningly subtle form. We engage in it subconsciously because we do it and our conscience doesn't pick it up. We become indifferent in the most ignoble manner. 

You become indifferent when you watch a guardian or master maltreat his ward without you intervening. 

You become indifferent when you watch people being bullied and mocked by people stronger than them, that's been indifferent if you do not try to stop them because it doesn't affect you. 

You become indifferent when you don't lend your voice no matter how small to the plight of the less privileged because you're above their means and standard.

You become indifferent when you snub the cry of others against the government, with their policies and agendas because it's not affecting you at all. You become indifferent and heartless when you do all these.

Indifference also, is a major cause of intellectual dwarfism amongst youths of today. They shy away from important discourses and topics because they're lazy to research and read and discover and contribute to issues. Indifference is a serious endemic that negates our total existence, it's better to become backward at times than to stay stagnant and irresponsive to issues. Indifference causes stagnancy and eventually the deterioration of our mind, till we become vegetables.

I would really like to keep preaching but I will tell you that to pick a stand is been brave than to stay indifferent, because indifference is the modern height of cowardice. Indifference like I said earlier does not help intellectually, it doesn't provoke us to learn by researching and also improving and add to a topic that instigated the research. Like I've said indifference is never an option, if you're kindly drop it. Be decisive, it's better to be the oppressor, which I crave your indulgence not to be but to rather be a champion to liberate the oppressed by speaking for them.

Do not ever be a bystander, be decisive!!!

Polish Cargo Hijacked By Pirates Off Nigerian Coast

According to a report from Reuters, two boats filled with armed men boarded a Polish-owned cargo vessel on Friday. The ship was anchored 30 nautical miles off of the Nigerian coast, awaiting the arrival of a new crew. The kidnappers, who remain unidentified, have not yet made any demands.

In a press statement, Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowsk stated that the Polish Foreign Ministry is currently liaising with the Nigerian government.

The coast of Nigeria is considered by security experts to be among the most dangerous waters in the world. Pirates and other bandits often prowl the area for oil tankers. According to Reuters, this is the first documented attack in Nigerian waters since February.

In light of this event, the Polish maritime authorities are in the process of reviewing their security measures.

WAR AGAINST TERRORISM AND WHO SHOULD WE BE FIGTHING. 

The week has been a cascade of clashing opinions around the world and on Africa social media to be specific. There's been debate and counter debates on the logic of using the watermarked France flag over facebook profile profile. An issue I stood against and spoke on the offensive of and back to today, also on the newly but old agitation by our eastern brothers on Biafra and the clamor for arm struggle by Nnamdi kanu, the now supposed to be free but still jailed for not meeting up with bail conditions. 

I've sat down, pondered and reasoned over all the travails of the happenings of recent, all that has been transpiring of late in our modern society - the world, the one we all agreed is a global village and I keep wondering WHY all these happen in a village and some hamlets stand looking. I wonder WHY people don't ask WHY. WHY as we all know is the Ultimate philosophical question. A society who don't ask why are trapped in the grips of stagnancy. 

Like I've insinuated before, A lot of issues have risen and have fallen on the way forward to quench this problem(s) bedeviling us and I think the genesis of the situation has not yet been pinpointed. We need know to the cause of all these. We need know the actors, especially the one that acts our friends and are actually the real foes. We need know the tools, the demands, the instigators, the facts and above all the motive behind this callousness. 

At moments like this I ask myself, Are we sure we ain't been too forward to lay blames like wreath at the graveyard of the dead on the doorsteps of the innocent or maybe not too innocent? 

Are we sure we are not caught up in the abyss of pointing accusing fingers to those who are only playing to the tunes of the piper - the very hidden masters? These are pressing questions that needs urgent answers and I'm left in my world of thoughts I came up with more than just an answer. A little above things we can think of and work on to justify a means to an end to this menace.

I've asked are we been fooled by the west or do they have this premonition that the black man and all others with no long nose and curly hairs are imbeciles whose Intelligent quotient are on the ground level of the IQ hierarchy. 

To all these I say, the guns in our hands is also the same in the hands of our enemies - the terrorist, the thieves, the serial killer, the criminals,  and you're still wondering who are the real enemies.

The western world manufactures all these and it's no longer hidden truth that they're our real enemies. You watch Catalan and Quebec pursue an armless struggle but yet they watch south Sudan and north Sudan fight endlessly with guns and bombs and rockets. The whiteman won't let these weapons get into the hands of their rebellious brother in Quebec(Canada) and Catalona(Spain).

They profit on the bloods of humans especially if your skin ain't pale and hair ain't long, that's just why they speak speeches longer than Nile river and cry more than the rain in the rain forest but above all, all these are lies, gimmicks to fool those who they can fool.

They'll make wars linger for long because their artillery industries must sell and citizens must have a job and taxes must come in and for all these to happen, there have to be war in Africa or Asia or anywhere else the skins are not white and their language ain't sexy. Don't get me wrong I still don't see the reason or bravery behind you killing your fellow human, whether it's your race or not. It's the height of cowardice and so painful it happens and I see these killers as fools and weakling playing like pawns, like zombies whose mind is now encrypted with senseless. This is how I see the world from my very eyes. 

Be wise and Say no to western imperialism covered with hypocrisy called western empathy.

MY BIAFRAN STORY AND THE BIAFRA STRUGGLE; MORE THAN JUST A TALE WAR OF GUNS BUT OF IDEOLOGIES AND MEMORIES REJECTING A REPEAT. 

In the spirit of the moment, the state of the nation and the struggle for secession, I recount my own passed down stories of Biafra. 

As a little child, I had the luxury of my father telling me a lot of stories, you know the whole tortoise stories and his clichéd craftiness but as I headed for my first decade on earth things nosedive to an adventurous one, my father had exhausted all the tortoise story because I'll scream out, "daddy anu bu go m nka" (I've heard this before), the old man didn't have much to say anymore, and then he indulged into the sacreds of stories, the very thing I called history. He told me his personal account of the biafra civil war and how my grand dad, may his beautiful and brave soul rests in courtyard of my ancestors, left home and all that travailed becomes history and now my own personal stories about biafra. 

Frankly speaking, his own story could not account for the bulk of the whole war story but though it counted, at least to me. It counted more than enough to me because it's my first personal romance with the inglorious war tagged "Biafra civil war" and all that transpired from the very glass eye of Eugene Ndukaihe Ejionye, my good father.  

This biafra tale always had a touch of how much was lost when he speaks. Loss of lives and properties was just synonymous to all that happened in the war. It was a part he kept saying over years on different points this story that I've got to love and sparked my first interest into history in general. He told me of how everything was lost, close family ties and all. He was careful to say a lot because he wouldn't impact much hate into me, he didn't want to create a tribal chauvinist and hate and brutish machine what he called most of the young soldiers who lost their minds and thoughts in the cause of the war, so he would digress more and tell me more about the survival and not the bloodshed. Instances like how they went hunting for bush meat and when there was none anymore they succumbed to the lizards and frogs.

I remember as a teen, a cousin bought ero(mushroom) to the house to make a soup with it. I've never eaten ero till today and prior to that incidence I did not know why we did not. As my cousin brought in the mushroom, we did not know what took dad to the kitchen and he saw th pieces of "taboo" as I've come to see it. The next altercation was horrific, I never saw that in such manner. He screamed, Onye weba talu ife arua ni ime be m(who brought this abomination into my house?). He was furious and all that was thrown away and in my normal ritual of lying on his pot bellied tummy, I asked daddy "ke, ife melu iji si na ife anwa bu alu?"(why did you call that an abomination) and I saw goose bumps all over him and he said nwa m, that piece of white beauties reminds me of the war. 

He'll say nwa m, agha adiro nma, ma ncha ma ncha (war is not good, at all, at all). There was so much emphasis on the ma ncha, ma ncha and I noticed he always stopped when he got to a particular point in our story and he'll say nna na kpuo ula, chi ejigo k'anyi bido kwa echi. This repeated. a lot of times and no matter how much I break him to speak, he'll say nothing but smile and pat me to bed. Years later he called me and told me how he lost his favourite cousin to hunger, not that he didn't lose others but there was a subtle jubilation that the dead cousin's share of the meal would go round after all and there was more to rejoice about than to wail for.

He lived with this pains for years, he passed it on to me and I felt war was right, until I asked him again, what if we start another war and he screamed Mba, mechie onu ghi, don't think of it again.

He said war is terrible, it turns good people into animals, it leaves you no strength in helping those you love when they need your help. It breaks family apart and turns meek men callous. He'll give a million reasons why peace is greater.

Biafra will not die because it's not a human, it's a spirit and spirit are indestructible but then it can't be achieved by force but by the strength and sincerity in our voice and heart. we can win the most brutal army and vicious forces armed with the most ferocious arms and weapons just by been together in peace and persistent in a struggle with great potentials and beautiful Ideologies.

My father speaks of his experience, he was brave and the civil war was a necessity but now he said there's no reason for a war of bloods but that of ideas is welcomed.

Article from Woman. ng 

Lately, I have been giving a lot of

thought to the issue of marriage.

Perhaps it’s the fact that my brother

recently got married, or the fact that

this year is my 10th wedding

anniversary, either way, reflections on

the topic of marriage have taken up a

bit of space in my mind and I have

decided to do a few posts on it.

They say love is blind, but only a

young inexperienced person will

make the decision on whom to marry

solely on the basis of love. I like to

say that love wears glasses and

contact lenses.

One important ingredient for

increasing the likelihood of your

marriage success is marrying your

own kind. Gasp! In this day of inter

marriage where colour and tribe don’t

matter, only a closed minded person

will say that right? Wrong. It depends

on what your definition of your own

kind. By your own kind, I mean

someone from a similar kind of

background as yourself.

Two weeks ago while I was getting

my hair done in preparation for my

brother’s wedding, I got talking with

the lady doing my hair. She

mentioned that there was an African

restaurant in Frankfurt where you can

get authentic cuisine in an authentic

African atmosphere – you sit on the

ground and you eat with your hands

in that restaurant. So I said why the

sitting on the ground, she said it’s

just like in Africa, where we sit on the

ground.

So I told her wait a minute, did you

sit on the ground and eat in your

own home, to which she answered

yes now. “they would call us to eat

and we would go collect our food and

find some spot on the ground to eat.

Of course, she did not believe me

when I said that we always ate on

the dining table, and with cutlery,

except when eating “okele”. We even

used to eat at the dining table in my

grandparents’ home, and I have very

fond memories of my grandparents’

dining table.

Now, there is absolutely nothing

wrong with eating on the floor as

opposed to eating on the dining

table, but she was so sure her

experiences growing up were the

experiences of every other African, as

I was about my own experiences. We

are both Nigerians, but come from

different worlds. For me, I had never

really thought of a dining table as

anything special until that point, and

I just ended up keeping quiet having

learnt something new.

It’s the closed almost incestuous

world of the African middle class,

which makes us not really ‘see’ the

millions who are not living like us.

For me, it took moving to Europe to

start to really think about the plight of

those millions, even though I am not

from a rich family and my parents are

very compassionate people who

helped others where they could. It

could have something to do with the

fact that I moved abroad in my

teenage years, but anyway, that is

not the focus of this post.

Someone I know is married to a man

who has told her before that she

pretends to be someone she is not

putting on fancy airs. Tell me if the

lady above were to meet and date

someone from a background like my

brother, wouldn’t there be a sort of

disconnect? Wouldn’t she accuse

him of putting on airs at some point?

Or if her brother married a lady from

a different of background, wouldn’t

her in laws accuse her of being

proud and thinking she is better than

they are? By the way, I have seen

such scenarios play out.

Or a completely banal example from

my own life, growing up, and my

parents took us on picnics and to

zoos and parks. One of my fondest

childhood memories is a picnic with

friends at the zoo in Makurdi where

we lived at the time. My husband’s

parents didn’t really take him out like

that, so when 5 years into our

marriage we started having children

and I would expect him to go out on

the weekends with us, he was having

none of it and it was a bitter point for

me that I was the one going all about

with my kids alone, which was

completely different from how I grew

up.

One day, after I had managed to drag

him with us by fire and brimstone

and he enjoyed himself, he confessed

that he wasn’t really used to that

type of thing as his parents had lots

of obligations while he was growing

up that did not allow for that type of

family outing. Now, I understand

where that’s coming from and I don’t

take his reluctance personal any

longer, but it took a while for us to

get there.

So in saying marrying your kind, I am

not talking about race or tribe, but I

mean marry someone who is from a

similar sort of background as

yourself. I am not there if you as a

middle class Nigerian marries an

oyibo who is either from a

dysfunctional home or who places

Africans in a certain box, because

they will treat you that same way. Or

if you being Yoruba woman from a

monogamous harmonious home

decides to marry a Yoruba man from

a dysfunctional polygamous home, or

one with absent parents, or one

where the man is god. Or you being

from a strongly Christian or Muslim

home decides to marry someone who

comes from a family where their

religious beliefs are diluted with a bit

of voodoo etc etc.

It’s more efficient marrying someone

of a different culture or tribe who

shares a similar background than

someone from the same state who

could as well be from mars while you

are from Venus when it comes to

their values and how they think.

Those differences may seem trivial at

first, but the longer you stay together,

the more you will see circumstances

and situations pop up that were not

envisaged and where only having

similar outlooks or a strong ability to

compromise can get you through

easily.

Having met my brother’s wife and in

laws and seen the ease of interaction

between the two families, being that

the backgrounds are so similar made

me wish for the same for everyone

else that I know who is still

searching.

Anyway in conclusion, if you decide

to marry outside of your

“background” both social as well as

economic, make sure that you are

entering the marriage with a lot of

compromise, and if you are female,

with a double dose of compromise.

You might think you know everything

about your partner, but believe me,

10, 15, 20 years down the line, new

situations might arise, where you will

be shocked at your partners

approach. Don’t say I didn’t warn

you o!

AFRICANS AND SOCIAL MEDIA HYPOCRISY. 

I look at the semi blackmail, mark Zuckerberg and his facebook team has tried to drag us to empathize with Europe of the same thing that happens in Africa; Nigeria, Kenya and Somalia to be specific and they do nothing or show much zeal to wipe it off. I've been misquoted as been unsympathetic to this terrible blow on humanity but I know people don't like the truth and for the records I was one of the first Nigerians, yes First I said to write and sympathize with France on the wickedness that befell them but I'm bringing to the knowledge of us all that this same thing happen and nothing gets done or much sympathy is shown. And I'm left to make a little clarification. 

I do not say you shouldn't pray for France but i'm asking if any of you have prayed for Nigerians dying in number uncountable by Boko haram or the massacre and quick ends of dreams in the most vicious manner in Somali and Kenya by Al Shabab. If you are you're excused from my mouth lash.

I do not say you shouldn't change your facebook profile pictures in solidarity to the fight against terrorism but I'm just asking is facebook disconnected from the reality that this same thing happen in Syria, Nigeria, Iran, Kenya and many other places. Or are all these places in hell and not on earth or are they undeserving of a little support like that always given to European countries. If they have I'm sorry for trying to flex my paulinity - ability to write. You know I can't know everything. I do not say you shouldn't quote me bible verses but I just want to be sure if the death of one european is greater than that of a million blacks. If it is then I'm sorry, I guess they have more than one brain, a million kidney per white and probably more than two balls in their scrotal sacs.

I can ask several others but it pains me that people will tell me that they stood with us in # BBOG . Which BBOG the one that APC blew out of proportion like they were ever the only school girls dying in the north. Why has the fight and agitation by the propagandists ended as soon as Buhari came to power and the western world look else where? Where's Ezekwesili with her team of shameful liars?

I won't seize to question the stupidity of my co-blacks and ask why must Europe get all the sympathies and empathies and condolences, whereas same happens all over the world, especially in Africa and Asia and they sit and discuss it like two women haggling over a piece of fish at my village Ezinifite, Abanator market square.

Why haven't they have a great walk like that done in Paris during the Charlie Hebdo attack done in Nairobi for the death of those killed in a shopping mall or are these lives of less significance to that of the europeans?

Please don't get me wrong, I hate making points when bloods are in question but if I don't speak out at the inequality in the balancing of racial issues then I become like Americans who turned back thousands of Jews at the marine borders of America back to Germany during the Hitler Reich. I can't be indifferent to such nepotism. If many blacks are stupid, I beg to count myself out I'm not a part of such insensitive lot.

BUHARI; A HUGE JOKE, A FAILED MAGICIAN OR IS HE PROBABLY MORE CLUELESS THAN GOODLUCK JONATHAN 

In the Nigeria Internet world, a little party occured, everyone dropped his alliances and affiliation to celebrate one of the greatest Nigerian in Nigerian history; both in the yore and modern and this person was no one but Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan; the immediate past President of the Federal republic of Nigeria, the father of modern Nigeria, the face of true federalism and undiluted patriotism to nationalistic cause, The mascot of true sportsmanship and the new identity for good democracy in Africa and third world democracies at large and I was awed at all the acolades that he got the appraisals and commendations and I once again was happy for the nights I kept to see that this man came back to governance, even though I was an unapologetic critic of his administration, which I tagged a Lesser evil to that of Buhari and the Lying(Lai Mohammed) mouths of the APC. These led me to put down this piece not just to celebrate our Ex-president but to awaken others to the scam we've all been forced to partake in.

These days I write about Buhari and it's wanton cluelessness and how it has surpassed that of Goodluck Ebeke Jonathan and I get little verbal attack from APC e-mad dogs and I wouldn't mind on the no counters from these myopic lots who dotted my social media cyberspace prior to the election, shouting and screaming with hopeless optimism and fire raging tongues, speaking magics like we're in a pre-medieval times when magic and wonders reign supreme.

I look up at my calendar and I see it's over six months, I also engaged again in the ritual of uplooking and I see none of them talk about issues in governance, they're now motivational speakers, relationship experts, enterprenuerial consultants, even comedians and many more. I just laugh at the way they've all gone on sabbatical like a typical unintelligent Nigerian professor who is looking for an excuse to run from his crimes of sorting and flirting but unlike the Nigerian professor They're on sabbatical leave from lies and mischief and myopism - which was their number one problem.

Nevertheless a few of them are still strong enough to argue but then these few are the unintelligent ones and there reasoning tainted with crass shortsightedness. I can't watch me descend to the lows, valleys and gullies of mediocrity and engage them in debates by partying alongside them in a carnival of facts and truths.

These few tell me how I've become impatient and I wonder are these people my fellow Nigerians? I wonder again, have Ghanians infiltrated Nigerians from birth like ISIS infiltrated Europe? Patience is not a word that's synonymous with the Nigerian atmosphere. How can you exercise patience in Lagos, when every seconds counts for up to 10 minutes for anyone around the world and I'm been sold the Patience pill. Mba nu, I don't need patience to see what is already happening and speak and see that it changes, I mean real positive change not these quantum changes in promises and double mouth of men who were harbingers of a total movement of progessiveness as they tagged it that has been shown to be regressive by all standards.

When you as an APC man tell me about patience and it's values and I wonder if you're aware you never gave Goodluck Jonathan one breathing space even when he went as far as marrying Patience and making it your first lady. An attribute you and I rejected and have come to haunt us repeatedly.

My dear hypo-brained myopic friend, there's no way I'll be dashing patience to a government that sounded like professor peller(foremost Nigerian magician and showbiz man) in all the stadia and conference centers in Nigeria. Buhari sounded like a magician, like he could just turn harmattan to winter and make our cars run on water.

He spoke with so much promises and this is the perfect time to blow up smoke into the holes of these rodents that have forgotten that they need feed their children. We or rather I will not keep quiet, we'll speak till we see what we were promised. You can't promise Nigerians lies like we're the proverbial harlots on an igbo man's bade(bed). Ima nkwa elu bed

Buhari will have no peace till his promises are fulfilled. We have it all in our political todo list and each one achieved. I'll come here and praise him for it and tick it off and berate him the more till he sits up and stop acting like a Fulani herdsman who will walk for years herding cattles like a man with no focus and in no rush at how much value time possess. Woah, I forget he's even one.

Like I've always screamed, Nigeria under the APC government is the only unfunny huge joke and Muhammudu Buhari is the biggest and probably most highly coordinated scam orchestrated by a few mad people who call themselves elites in modern history.

Nigerians must wake up and demand for the promises given to them during electioneering. There's no longer room for negligence and wanton insensiveness to the plight of the common Nigerian.

Troops arrest Boko Haram kingpin, recover various weapons.  

Troops of the Nigerian Army on Monday said it had made a remarkable progress in its quest to flush terrorism out of the country after the arrest of a Boko Haram kingpin identified as Mr John Trankil, at Kasuwar Shanu in Maiduguri metropolis.

According to a report released by the Army through its official twitter handle @defenceinfong the terrorists were said to have sneaked into maiduguri armed with AK 47 assault rifles and a Hilux vehicle laden with 20 Improvised Explosive Devices meant to be detonated at some selected targets in the city.

Also, another division of the nigerian under the 21 Brigade, while on offensive operations on Boko Haram terrorists location, with the support from the Nigerian Airforce discovered and destroyed the terrorists’ Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and Rocket making factory along Bama-Gonin Kurmi within the outskirts of Bama town, Borno State.

Several items were recovered durinng both operations which includes; gas cylinders, welding machine, pipes and poles. Others include locally made rocket shells, large quantity of assorted chemicals, unprimed IEDs and various technical and laboratory equipment suspected to be stolen from schools’ laboratories around Bama before they were dislodged from the area.

The Theatre Commander operation Lafiya Dole (peace by force), Major General Yusha’u Mahmood Abubakar, seized the opportunity to commend the efforts of the troops and implored them to be more vigilant and focused on the job at hand. He also enjoined the general public to remain security conscious particularly at all check points, markets, worship centres, motor parks and schools.

Recall that President Muahhmadu Buhari, had given the Nigerian army a dember deadline to totally eradicate terrorism from within the country by the end of December 2015.

Tyra Banks breaks down in tears over not having a baby yet on Set?

Insiders claim former super model & talk-show host Tyra Banks, who will be 42 years old in Dec. this year, broke down on the set of her new talk show because she hasn't been able to start a family… 

From Star Magazine,

“Tyra was bawling,” says the spy. “She was crying about how she wants kids, and she made it sound like she wasn’t able to. It just looked like it destroyed her. She's talked about adoption before, but the way she broke down, almost made everyone wonder if an adoption had fallen through. It was heartbreaking to watch."

Presidency replies former Ministers under GEJ's administration, says anti-corruption fight is non negotiable

The presidency has released a statement replying former Ministers who worked in Jonathan's administration. In a statement released this evening, the former ministers had asked the Buhari led govt to be sincere in its fight against corruption and not use it as a tool for political witch hunting. In a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the presidency said the war against corruption is not a personal one nor a means of political witch hunting and that the fight is not negotiable and does not have friend nor foe.

The statement in part reads

 In this regard that there is no witch hunt or malice against anyone in the pursuit of the county’s stolen assets still stand . This war against corruption knows no friend nor foe. There is no intention to deny anyone of their good name where they are entitled to it and that President Buhari reserves the highest regards for the country’s former leaders including Dr Jonathan Goodluck who he continues to praise to the high heavens for the way and manner in which he accepted defeat in the last election. That singular action remains a feat that has earned the former president and Nigeria as country befitting commendations all over the world, the latest coming from Mr Ban Ki-Moon, the Secretary-General of the United Nations who visited a week ago. For the purpose of emphasis, the issue of fighting corruption by President Buhari is non negotiable. It is sine qua non to the overall reconstruction of the economy and social systems which suffered destruction and severe denigration under the last administration. President Buhari will not be deterred or blackmailed into retreat and surrender. No one in the PDP can accuse President Buhari of undermining the economy when all they handed over to him is at best,was a tottering economy hobbled by corruption and the absence of due process. Things have become worsened by the continuing fall of oil prices, which is expected to fall even further with the imminent full return of Iran to the market. All he has been doing while around is to put things together, organizing to defeat Boko Haram, paying outstanding salaries, cleaning up the mess left behind, improving security and restoring our relationships with neighbors and the world. So what are former ministers afraid of in these things? Have they become a new trade union? Let this collection of ex-VIPs allow the President the peace he needs to handle the reconstruction of the economy and the nation in a manner that most serves Nigeria’s best interests. President Buhari does not need these types of distraction presented by the so-called association of former ministers.”

Another trouble for all the top EPL clubs as Manchester City Sign Kevin De Bruyne For £50.8 M.

Manchester City new signing, Kevin de Bruyne has disclosed that he’s happy to join the Blue side of Manchester to help them win all the titles available.

The Belgium international signed a six-year deal from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg in a deal worth £50.8million.

 “I want to reach the highest level possible as a player and I think the most important thing is that at the end of the season we can be happy and maybe have some titles,” De Bruyne told the club’s official website.

“I think this is the most important for the Club, the players and for the fans of course.

He becomes manager Manuel Pellegrini’s eighth signing of the summer transfer window following the arrivals of Raheem Sterling, Fabian Delph, Nicolas Otamendi, Patrick Roberts, Enes Unal, David Faupala and Aleix Garcia at the Etihad Stadium.

“We are very happy to have added Kevin to our team and I have no doubt that he will be a big success on his return to the Premier League,” Pellegrini said.

“It takes a special footballer to improve our squad and I have no doubt that Kevin is certainly one of those – he has all of the mental, physical, tactical and technical attributes required to fit straight in.

“We like to play attractive, attacking football and bringing in a player like De Bruyne will only aid us as we fight on four fronts.”

De Bruyne began his career at Genk in his home country before completing a £6.7m move to Chelsea in January 2012.

However, he endured an unsuccessful first spell in England, making just three appearances in the Premier League for Chelsea following a loan spell back at his former club.

De Bruyne spent the 2012-13 season on loan at Werder Bremen and took the Bundesliga by storm last season after making an £18m move from Chelsea to Wolfsburg in January 2014.

He scored 20 in 60 appearances during his 18-month spell at the Volkswagen Arena.

 Nigeria Qualify For 2015 Afrobasket Finals

The senior basketball team in Nigeria, D’Tigers has qualified for the finals of the ongoing 2015 FIBA Afrobasket in Tunisia, after defeating Senegal 88 – 79.

READ ALSO: Nigeria’s D’Tigers Make It To Afrobasket Quarter-finals

It was indeed a hard fought match, and a hard earned win by the D’Tigers who led through the first quarter, down in the second and third quarter, before a glorious fight back with a superb performance, especially by Chamberlain Oguchi.

D’Tigers of Nigeria

The match deadlocked with 76 points apiece, before a courageous fight back in overtime (OT) by the D’Tigers to win the match by 88 points to 79.

The tension was palpable all around the court with both teams not giving an inch to each other.

So far in the tournament, the team was able to pull through to the quarter finals after spanking Mozambique with 83-47, and the competition underdogs, Gabon with 88 – 64 points that led them to the semi-final against Senegal.

The Will Voigts led team will now face Angola in the final after the former champions defeated host country, Tunsia, 51-58 in the second semi-final.

Man With ‘World’s Longest Manhood” Says Women Are Scared To Sleep With Him | PHOTOs

A man who claims he has the world’s largest penis says women are too scared to have sex with him.

Super-endowed Roberto Esquivel Cabrera also claims his manhood is actually a disability that leaves him unable to work.Not only that, but the 52-year-old’s 18.9in member is so long that ladies are afraid of it.

The member hangs well below his knees and he wants his ‘gift’ to be recognised by the Guinness Book of world Records. Cabrera has approached health services to support his claim he is disabled.

He said:

“Look where it is, it goes far below the knees.I cannot do anything, I cannot work, and I am a disabled so I want authorities to declare me as a disabled person and give me support.Then, I want to go to the Guinness to get recognition.”

And doctors at a health centre in the city of Saltillo, in the north-eastern Mexican state of Coahuila, have confirmed that “according to the scan” in 3D, it is genuine.

A doctor there said the main part of his willy was just over 6 inches long and the rest was extra skin.

Medical experts suggest troubled Cabrera might be able to opt for a voluntary modification of his anatomy and have a shaft reduction operation.

He was deported from the USA to Saltillo in 2011 and lives alone in a room given to him by his brothers.

He survives on social assistance and scavenges for food and materials on waste dumps.

He has no friends and wherever he goes he says people shun him.
