You can argue all you like about the significance of this occassion

but a "NEW WORLD ORDER" is emerging

Why not wonder why he visited TURKEY recently .  . . . . .  they are a Secular country with muslim majority

also watchout for countries like Jordan where the civilised King Abdullah holds forth.

Egypt is also very necessary in breaking the Isreali Palestinian deadlock.

In West Africa . . . . . . the Obama administration has described Ghana as their most trusted allies in the region, bear in mind this is coming after the Yar'adua administration made frantic efforts for Yar'adua to visit President Obama in White house, instead he personally goes first to Ghana in our backyard. . . . we have handed over our leadership of West Africa to Ghana . . . . . and yes South Africa will be next black African visit.

Watch out for his speech in Ghana, he will call the next generation of leadership through democratic means to emerge across Africa, and no where else is it better to call for such than a nation that has succeeded where its neighbours failed.

And yes the US will mantain some kind of ties with Nigeria because of oil, but bear in mind President Obama is pushing for electric cars and alternative energy sources in a bid to make oil less relevant.

So our importance in commity of Nations will continue to dwindle unless we change course and get more serious.

The USA FBI have to clear obama to visit. And the FBI have prove that nigeria election is fraud. USA govt does not like Fraud based government. It is USA policy.

That why we have put a bill to stop all this fraud. And make the North majority in Nigeria instead of the minority that are. That way, they do not have to continue to rig election. This bill removes the Yoruba, edo,delta and bayelsa into Benin republic, making the north majority. And there would not be need for fraud in election in Nigeria.





here is the copy of the bill. President Yar adua, senators, houses member and clark would already have the bill in thier email before tomorrow sitting. They should all check thier email.

gbam

The United States President visiting Ghana first despite our president's lobbying is to make a statement and it's not about yahoo yahoo boys or 419ers or drug pushers, the statement is simply that the rest of the world knows about our ''little secret''. The one where ballot papers were thumbprinted in private quarters and officially signed by INEC officials and an illegitimate govt was sworn into power.


To be honest though, Im not bothered if Obama comes to Nigeria or not infact, Ild rather he doesn't until we clear the entire mess we have created by way of electoral fraud.

Guys, 2011 is around the corner, wetin we go do? na just to siddon look?

It is statement to Nigeria that the world would not accept fraud election again. It is a statment to Yar Adua. we have sent the bill to President Yar Adua email. And I hope he and the national assembly do the right thing.

If Yar adua and the north, do not know where the oilfield are. Are is a map showing them. we are saying that they should take them and let we yoruba, edo, delta and bayelsa join the republic of benin now. The USA have 3 ,000,000 military men. Let the yorubas go. It solve Yar Adua problem. We have sent the bill to the clark of the national assembly, we email David mark, Bankole, CNN, NBC, ABC, Yar Adua, most member of the senate and national assembly and 5,000 media around the world.

We can not fight the USA. It is better we are smart. They would attack USA if you people claim all those your nonsense lies again. The world of do not want to here that nonsense you people won again. They know you are telling a lie.

The pictures are real. more than one year ago, when i started this online protest. I called google and NASA to verify the pictures.



Of the 81 cities above 300,000 people, 55% are based in the Western Niger of Niger ( Belodok states) And when lagos can produce 53571 of those satellite pictures of an average northern town. You know that the only thing for the north to do is remove the belodok states into Benin republic. see calculation.

That 81 cities above 300,000 people

Western Niger of Nigeria: Lagos , Abeokuta, Ijebu ode, Ijebu Igbo, Sagamu, Abeokuta, Ota, Ikorodu,Ondo, Akure, Owo, ore, Okitipupa, Ibadan,oyo, Ede, Ogbomoso, Ikare Akoko Iseyin, Saki, Keshi, Erewa, Osogbo, Ife, Ilesha, Ikiru, Ikire,Iwo, Ado Ekiti, Ikere Ekiti,Benin, Auchi(Jatto), uromi, Ekpoma,Argbo, warri, sepele, Asaba,Ugelli,Yenago, Ilorin, Ofa, kabba, Okene, lokoja, = 45 (55%)

Rest of Nigeria: Port Harcourt,Uyo,Eket, Calabar , Aba,Owerri,Nnewi, Onitsha,Abakalili, Enugu, Umuhia, Akwa, Idah,Oturpo,Markudi, Gboko,Jalingo, Yola, Mubi, ,jos, Minna, Bida, Abuja, Maiduguri, Potisum, Kaduna, Gombe, Azare, Bauchi, kano, zaria, sokoto, gozua,Kebbi, futua, Katsina = 36 (45%)


May be with this yar adua would get the message that we want to be in benin republic. with more state join

the area of an average north town is 0.20 length X 0.14 width = 0.028 sq km.

while half of lagos is 1500 sq km.

the calculation for how many average north town in lagos is 1500/0.028 = 53571.42 town

now if you divide by 19 state in the north 53571/19 =2819 town.

it mean lagos can supply 2819 town in each state in the north. how can the north be more than the south .

Yar adua better support a bill we are written and also monitor the bill , we would sent him a copy via email and we would copy the clark of both house to , the senate president and the speaker of the house.

The bill would remove the Belodok states into the republic of benin and create a joint National assembly for both Nigeria-benin. While both countries would still have thier assembly. Creating an open boundary, just like the USA and canada.

niger-delta my ass leave them out of that

carry ur yoruba de go if u are serious

damnt it!

A nation that cannot hold a state election wants the president of the free world to visit. U gotta be kidding me. How about the fact that Ghana's ex president John Kuffor was the only African head of state treated to a White House presidential banquet hosted by Gorge W Bush? Ghana is coming of age in African democracy and it deserves to be compensated. Nigerians should get their house in order and stop whining. South Africans are not complaining cos they hold hold their ground. Nigerians are paranoid

Ikey who created south south idea. It was northerner, Abacha. Why did he create it. To divided the south , it is called divided and rule.  Look at the map of Nigeria. it is technical impossible to have south south  republic. It is just the north playing game. they know that. How can you have that. It is all creek , creek creek. creek. The north and abacha was only playing games.  Look since Yar adua have been in govt, the north have awarded billion of dollar to the niger delta. 90% of the money was just in paper. It should tell you it is just a game. for stupid people who believe in the northern idea of Niger delta. Divided and rule.

What make me sick is some leaders in this area because of contract now sell thier people for cheap just for contract.
Everytime you find them in Aso rock claim they represent Niger delta. Niger delta is an idea of abacha to divided the south. I can tell Jonathan they may promises heaven and hell, they would not make you president. Ask MKO abiola  

Ikey wake up. it is just a game by the north.

This is a very good development ,at least we should be aware our sins are no secret

This is a very good development ,at least we should be aware our sins are no secret

Reason is simple!
He doesn't need a visa to visit Ghana, but he needs one to come to Nigeria.
All he needs is to buy Air Force One ticket and off he goes to Accra   

WHY WASTE YOUR TIME GETTING ON A SINKING SHIP WHEN U GOT 1 ALREADY AFLOAT AND MOVING FORWARD?

I DON'T BLAME OBAMA.

The Past Military Regime is our Backwardness, Because we fear for Army gun and Police Brutality.This is Democracy Let us not think Democracy is like Military Regime where Army have the right to treat you anyhow they like.We have to think for once.If we want to move this Country forward.Let forget what will happen.We fear the Government they are Human being like Us, Please We cant fear them Instead let them fear Us. We cant continue to give those slowpoke a chance to defeat us always.Nairalander,Nigerians It time to Knock Down of your Neighbor to Advice them and Let act fast on the coming Election 2011.If you believe we can do it. Say Yes we can.

i sure obama visit nigeria when he ready to buy a old head or a fresh foot at the lagos market oooooooh

Only God can Help us

Even OBJ knows the answer to your thread

If only I was a witch, I'd fly over there just to damage Becommrich's 70's box computer.

Dude never gives up with his maps

I will break this down into two posts:

The decision of the Obama administration to visit Ghana and not Nigeria, believe it or not, could not have been made lightly. First, we must recognize that the US have very STRONG intelligence gathering on Nigeria (and all their interests) and Obama gets detailed security reports on a daily basis. . .highly classified information about almost everything of US interests. So, "our secrets" are so wide open, they are no secrets! Everything from the flawed 2007 elections, to the Ekiti shame of an election, corruption (KBR, Siemens, , fill in the gap), absence and continual collapse of infrastructure, continuous killings in the Niger Delta. . .while Yaradua keeps lying about 7 point (non) agenda, lying about his health, lying about electoral reforms, collecting aid money (in whatever form for EFCC and any government agencies without results to show), no significant improvement since he got rigged in. . .etc are open and not hidden at all.

Now, if Nigeria is what it has been but has made any meaningful progress and appears to be making progress, perhaps, a viable argument may be made in that case, but as it is, there is NONE. While Nigerian leaders think little of the examples they set, their values, actions or inactions, the American president has a very different set of values that the Nigerian one, as it is, completely contradicts. Obama cannot stand on the same platform with this man because doing so is viewed as an endorsement of some sort, and also indirectly endorses all the corrupt alliances and dealings of Yaradua through Ibori, Turaki, Andoakaa, Waziri. . .do Nigerians think they don't know all those details? You can bet your last dime, all the reports are diligently recorded and analyzed before a decision as this is made.

. . .(Continued)

Finally, did you see the performance of Yaradua at the last time he had audience with 2 Presidents at 2 different times:

Yar'adua Meets Bush at White House         
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIVzzccJyHE
The PM and President Yar'Adua of Nigeria   
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPbFiVhjVMw

Do you think whatever statements he made then have not been evaluated over time to see if he was honest? They do not suffer from short memory syndrome like Nigerian leaders! What of body language? His demeanor? How impressed do you feel knowing this is the 'best' to represent us on the world stage? Now, imagine you will be meeting this same man who clearly had no (or at best a weak) presence in earlier meetings. . .what substance has he got to showcase to the world while the cameras are on Obama and him? Why did Yaradua send Maduekwe & Co, recently, to 'lobby' for a meeting to be arranged with Obama with the resultant snubbing we got? As it stands, Yara has no political capital and will add no value to a discussion on democracy and good governance, which he really knows nothing about!

With the state America's economy is in now,who want their president in their back yard?Give me China's president anytime.

I have a knack for predicting accurately what the West (America, Europe and Japan) will do at any one time. My predictions are informed by ideas and beliefs I have about the West and the “Western Agenda”. My belief and ideas may seem unconventional to say the least, but they have often served me well in making accurate predictions. So, before continuing, let me make a prediction.

Here is that prediction: America will close their embassy in Nigeria and relocate it to Ghana.


When I last visited Nigeria, I warned many, so jubilant about the Obama victory, that Obama would be bad for Nigeria. During the ensuing debate, I gave my reasons for predicting this, and it was no grander than the fact that Obama grew up in America and that like most African Americans he would be hostile to Nigeria and Nigerians. That’s it, nothing more sophisticated than that. Sure, there are other motivations, and I will touch on those, as briefly as I can, but his (Obama) personal, African-American-based-feelings, will influence those close calls against Nigeria every time.  

Sometimes Nigerians miss the right answers, which wallow in the shallow end, as they go looking for deep answers. Nigerians also tend to project their own wishes and desires into others. A good example of the later is the absurd notion that, ‘America secretly desires Nigeria to be a great country, and that’ is why Obama will go to Ghana to teach us Nigerians a lesson’. How ridiculous. The only good country, as far as America and its western allies are concerned, is an obedient country. You can bet every penny you have that although a healthy China is good for the world economy and America benefits from Chinese investment and from investing in China, America secretly wishes China to crumble. America would rather India than China. In Africa, think of Ghana as India and Nigeria as China.


Finally, here is a fraction of what I think about the West/white agenda in West Africa. Put simply, the West see Africa as playing a grater role in the world as this century unfolds. That role could simply be as a provider of resources, provider of disability or both. America wants to play a grater role in Africa than it has done since after the Cold War.  In West Africa, it wants to establish an influential role in an anglophile country. Nigeria is too complex and its people too independent minded. Ghana, more reliant on foreign aid and therefore apparently more controllable, seems ideal.


I predict that America will be forced to create a pseudo “West African State” with Ghana as its “Capital”:


Here is the crucial thing of which Nigeria most take account and be weary.  America/West primarily wants to prepare Africans to intervene in potential world destabilising conflicts that they predict will rise in Africa. They figure that if they invest heavily in Ghana and exploit Nigeria’s own negative rhetoric about itself as a cover, they can create a West African State if not in reality then all but in name. The reason why America will attempt to create a West African State is that they will eventually discover after investing and creating a powerful country out of Ghana that they cannot get Ghana to intervene in African conflicts - not for all the money or military equipments in the world.  I believe that Americans have thought about this and have a backup plan. The backup plan would involve creating a sort of West African shock troops with manpower contribution from as many African country as would participate. Although the countries who contribute troops will get some financial assistance, that assistance would be nothing compared to that being given to Ghana.  They know from experience that Nigerians seem more willing to put their lives on the line when it comes to intervention in African wars so Nigerians would probably form the backbone of such a West African force.  The American difficulty will then be, how, from your base in Ghana, do you compel Nigerians to go lay down their lives. Howe do you turn Nigerians into solders and Ghanaians into commanders of those solders.  How do you get one country, you deride, to go do the dirty work while you financially and economically assist another?  Well the way you would do that is by either creating a West African State or by creating the impression that there is a West African State. That way Nigerians can go die in the name of West Africa rather than at the behest of Ghana.

Ghanaian may well take up the challenges inherent in letting Americans turn them into the pr-eminent power in West Africa. If they do, I would be happy for them to go and lay down their lives.  I do not want Nigeria contributing troops to any more African wars.  Unfortunately I think Nigeria would if asked, and it is this willingness on our part to soldier on after we have been snubbed and insulted that encourages further insult on us. If Nigerians boycott virgin Nigeria, for instance, Virgin wouldn’t so soon relocate to Ghana.

Sounds like becomrich to me.

I totaly agree with you on this one.

till we get our acts in order we will continue to be the sleeping giant of Africa. this is just to show the regard the western world have for a would have- been- great country like Nigeria. f
irst it was exclusion form the G-20 Summit now Obama is going to Ghana that once upon a time depended on Nigera for survival.
we really need to put our acts straight

Can u buy smelly body parts in ghana? Obama likes souvenior but not shrunken heads.

@post
I think Obama is afraid of being kidnapped.
He will come after Yar'Adua have wiped out militants cum all residents of Niger delta region

Has a president ever been kidnapped? I doubt a bunch of yahoo-yahoo boys could pull it off. They might spam his inbox to death though. If u were the president would u go to a country that believes in ju-ju and mammywater? ooooooooooooooooooooooooh

and so what?

tpacalipse:

and so what?

Nigeria is a hypocrite nation full of rats who call themselves leaders ruling docile citizens, who rather die hungry than fight for their civil rights. Why should Obama's administration recognize such a puppet government.

CyberG (m) George Bush only allow Yar adua to visit the white house before they discover that YAr adua was making deal with one of the axis of evil. Now Yar adua and Osama bin ladi is seen the same way.

Nigeria is on the terrorist watchlist . And the USA does not deal with terrist nation or so call terrorist president.

Hezbollah is in Nigeria, and did you remember this picture. I can tell you this if Yar adua remove the Yoruba, edo, delta and bayelsa before tuesday when obama leaves Ghana Obama would visit nigeria after Ghana if the national assembly pass the bill .  So tell Yar Adua to pass the bill in the national assembly and Obama would visit after he pass the bill.
