Politics / Can The Black Madonna Save Nigeria? by Aussie2doc: 11:48am On Sep 15
https://dailypost.ng/2024/09/15/olusola-omoju-can-the-black-madonna-save-nigeria/

The more I see the world, the more I fall in love with my dear country. No matter how sick Nigeria seems to be, I am beginning to think that it is the best country in the world. She only needs to get a few things right to be on top of the world.
I was so worried about Nigeria that I had to go to a prayer mountain in far away Barcelona, Spain to seek the face of God for intervention in Nigeria. If you ask average Nigerians what they know about Barcelona, they will only remember Messi and Camp Nou.

However, there is a popular deity that was believed to have saved Spain a couple times from tribulations. She sits on a mountain close to Barcelona, they call her the BLACK MADONNA!!!

The Black Madonna, a romanesque polychrome carving, was believed to have been carved in Jerusalem around the 12th century. It is one of the most famous Black Madonna statues in the world, and in 1844 Pope Leo XIII declared the Virgin of Montserrat, the patroness of Catalonia.

It was believed that she saved the monastery from the Swedish invasion and siege of 1655. She was also credited with defeating a Russian attack in 1920. You won’t therefore blame me that I went to plead with the lady to save NIGERIA from our numerous predicaments.
Maybe my upbringing is affecting me. When I was in secondary school, pastors and churches were respected and revered unlike today. I remember the first time I went to an interdenominational prayer mountain for a weekly friday night vigil. They call that mountain Ori oke, BASIRIBASIRI (The mountain where God covers our shameful secrets) located in Akure where I grew up. As a secondary school boy, all my prayers were dutifully answered on that mountain and I started believing that God answers prayers on the mountain more than the plain.
I was attending a public secondary school until my JSS3. I so much desired to go to one of the unity schools which were the standard schools of those days. I prayed that Friday night that God should miraculously send me to a unity school. I came home the following morning ( saturday) and I was sleeping due to the previous night vigil when my father came to wake me up and asked if I would like to write the Unity exam that very morning. I was shocked!
It happened that a man brought his two daughters from the village to write that exam and he had no place to stay except my father’s house. We would never know about the exam if that man didn’t bring his daughters to our house that fateful night. My father asked him how he got the forms for the daughters, the man said they would pay for the forms at the exam venue and he was yet to get the forms.How coincidental or was it the prayers of the night before? That was how I went for the exam without any form of preparation the very morning I pleaded with God to grant me admission to the school. I wrote the exam and forgot about it. My father never went to check the result.

Someone told him in his work place one month later that he saw my name on the admission list and I came second in the whole state among over 500 applicants. Guess what? The two ladies that made me know about the exam never passed. That was the beginning of my belief in the efficacy of mountain top prayers. You will therefore appreciate my enthusiasm when I set out on a similar adventure decades later in far away Barcelona.
I started my journey early in the morning from Barcelona to climb the highest summit of montserrat, the mountain that housed the monastery that housed the lady. The summit sits at 4055 feet above sea level. This time, I decided to climb the hill in a funicular. The views were so spectacular and It was indeed, an incredible experience. There is a whole lot of history behind the monastery but I will limit my discussion to my encounter with the lady I was on the queue for close to an hour, passing through an intricately sculptured but ancient basilica in awe and reverence.
When I finally met our lady, I was amazed and disappointed at the same time. Is it this small statue that attracts millions of pilgrims monthly or something else? I heard a little of the many miracles attributed to an encounter with black madonna no doubt but the statue looked so ordinary that if it were located anywhere in Nigeria, all the pentecostal churches including Pastor Adeboye and Oyedepo will be daily cursing the people that visit the statue, saying it is idolatry. You can as well say she looks like YEYE OSUN of Osogbo.
The funny part is that the statue is even black. Does that mean that MARY THE VIRGIN was a black woman? I guess the worshippers didn’t want to attribute anything good to blacks so they came up with an explanation. They said the statue was not originally painted black but because it was painted thousands of years ago, it turned black over time due to wear and tear. Very convenient! Let us wait and see whether MONA LISA will also turn black. I don’t believe the theory at all but how else would the Almighty Spain explain that a black woman’s statue saved them from the Russians in 1920?
Anyway, I finally held the hand of our lady. I had a personal discussion with the lady. My only request to the lady…MAY PRESIDENT TINUBU ‘get it right’. May Nigeria be great again. My group later lit a candle to seal the prayer as demanded by tradition.
I met thousands of people from all over the world coming to pay homage and receive blessings from our lady. Everywhere I turn all over the world, I see millions of tourists patronising places that look so ordinary and I keep wondering what is wrong with my dear Nigeria. When will tourists start queuing to see IDANRE hills? When will they come to learn the famous history of OLUA, a popular deity in my hometown who is equally attributed with a lot of miracles? When will Nigeria get it right?

As I descended from the montserrat in a funicular, the only question going through my mind was …WILL THE BLACK MADONNA SAVE THE MOST POPULOUS BLACK .

Politics / Lagos Rail Mass Transit And Dangote Refinery, The Game Changer. by Aussie2doc: 9:34am On Sep 07
LAGOS RAIL MASS TRANSIT AND DANGOTE REFINERY, THE GAME CHANGER IN THE MIDST OF CHAOS!

Santorini a small-town set on a hill. One of the wonderful experiences in Santorini is to climb the steps to the city center rather than using the traditional horses or the cable cars.

To do this, you must be physically fit and mentally strong. There are 588 steps, and the way up is very steep. As I climbed those steps panting, I was equally competing with horses carrying people up the hill. I also stopped regularly to enjoy the views as the cable cars were airlifting people to the proverbial city set on a hill.

At a time, I felt I would not make it to the town because I was extremely exhausted, but I kept hearing the voice of my motivational speaker, you can do it !, it says.

As I set my foot on the last set of stairs, I couldn’t help but conclude that it only takes a little planning to make a major city. For example, give people transportation options. I had the option to use cable cars and horses, I only opted to use the stairs. In Nigeria, we practically have only one means of transportation, Cars and vehicles. This is one of the major obstacles to our development.

I have used the metro system in almost all the major cities of the world, from New York to Tokyo to Hong Kong to Beijing, to Moscow and many more, one of my favorite activities is to wander about using the metro systems in different cities. I love to get lost, miss my station, find my way back and get lost again. One of the hallmarks of major developed cities all over the world is the sophistication of their public transportation system. If Nigeria will ever come out of the woods, other states will need to start copying the templates of development in Lagos state. Lagos seems to have a very robust idea of what a megacity
should look like, they are only struggling with the implementation of those ideas.

Nevertheless, whatever progress Nigeria will make in the nearest future will ultimately depend on how far Lagos can effectively carry out its lofty developmental plans.

Around seventeen years ago, President Obasanjo sold our moribund refineries to a consortium led by Dangote and Otedola. They paid close to a billion dollar for the two refineries. President Yaardua cancelled the sale and even returned the money.Many myopic Nigerians hailed him that he was incorruptible. Almost two decades later, those refineries never produced a gallon of petrol. Imagine if the consortium had started refining petrol from those refineries over a decade ago, just think about the catalyst effect it would have had on the economy. We would not need naira to import fuel for more than a decade, Naira would not be under pressure, and we would have had a lot of money for infrastructural development during the Jonathan’s era oil boom.

Who came to the rescue of the oil situation almost two decades later? DANGOTE and LAGOS STATE. Two decades wasted. Naira almost irreparably damaged. Lagos came to the rescue with the Tinubu’s inspired free trade zone providing a massive land and the needed business environment for Dangote to build a world class refinery from the scratch, when he could have repaired our moribund refineries decades ago.

While it seems everything is chaotic with the fuel situation, I am so excited about the future. With Dangote’s refinery, we can effectively solve the corruption problem around fuel subsidy. Many people are saying HOW? Dangote said they are installing a tracker to monitor the destination of every liter of petrol
loaded from the refinery.

This is a major game changer. The federal government must insist on this as a pre-condition for selling crude to Dangote. As at today, almost half of the fuel we import with our hard-earned dollars are being shipped to neighboring countries to sell in the black market. If the fuel is tracked by Dangote, we can properly track our daily consumption and even if we must pay to subsidize the fuel, it will be very minimal and will be paid in Naira.
Over a decade ago, Lagos also conceived the idea of BRT Lanes to decongest the traffic on the road. In retrospect, I think those lanes would have been dedicated to intra-city trains instead. If you have ever been to Istanbul, you would see that on every major road, a small portion is dedicated to city trains just like the BRT lane.

The difference is that while you may be on the BRT lane for hours without a single bus in sight, the train in Istanbul comes at regular intervals. What is the purpose of a BRT lane when there are no buses to ply those routes? Lagos had the idea, but the implementation is poor. I am so delighted that Sanwo Olu’s government is awake again, building extensive rail networks in Lagos state. I am only
wondering what other states are waiting for. One of the ways to reduce energy consumption is to build extensive public transportation especially rail networks.

Give people alternatives like I had in Santorini. Divert away from excessive consumption of fuel and use the money saved to further enhance the public transportation system. When it is well developed, restrict the number of cars in all the CBDs using plate number codes. That way, people will be forced to leave the cars behind at home and use the public transportation system.

In London, around 5 million people use the metro lines daily. Imagine that we can get one million people to leave their cars at home and ride the Lagos metro. Fuel consumption will be reduced, less traffic on the road, less damage to the roads and affordable accommodations because people can now live in Ibadan and commute to work in Lagos. I am still of the opinion that the BRT lanes should also be converted to Rail lines. Using Istanbul as a case study, those dedicated lanes are more than enough to build another
extensive rail line in Lagos.

Lagos is the only state that seems to have a good idea of what a city should look like even though the state is finding it difficult to implement the goals. The city is still very far from achieving the goal of a megacity, but it is the only one struggling to get there. If your state governor is not coming to Lagos for tutorial, you may need a new governor by 2027 if you don’t want your city to be left behind.

Athens is a city full of ruins of ancient buildings and the relics of ancient gods yet, every visit to that city is always memorable. My last visit was particularly dramatic because I almost fainted while climbing the Acropolis, an ancient citadel perched atop the city of Athens. My travel companions started pouring water on me as I laid on the floor (I thought I was back in Oshodi where the first thing we do to anyone that slumps is to pour water on them).
Home to the iconic Parthenon, dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena, Erechtheion, and Propylaea, this archaeological site is the cornerstone of the ancient Greek civilization. The elevated site offers breathtaking views of the city.

Do you know that just like the European missionaries destroyed all our iconic sites, claiming they were evil, the ottoman also tried to replace the Acropolis Parthenon with a mosque? However, the Greeks were still able to preserve what was left of this monument and today, millions of tourists visit the remnants of Acropolis every year, contributing millions of euros to the Greek economy.
All over Europe, the most important tourist attractions are mainly dilapidated buildings, sometimes with history not as dramatic as the history my father relayed to me about the ancient gods in my village, yet we are paying through the nose to visit these sites, whereas the European marauders destroyed our own culture and religion for Christian civilisation while they preserved their own.
One of the greatest historical monuments in the world in the last millennium was the great wall of Benin. If that wall is located anywhere near Europe, it will be raking in nothing less than 200 million euros in tourist income annually. I’ve been to the great wall of China and I was told that the wall of Benin was even more gigantic.

What happened to our own wall in Benin? It was destroyed by the British in 1897 during the so-called Benin expedition. We now need visas to go and see smaller walls in China and they even make it look like they are doing us a favour.
have paid to visit several old buildings across the world and I usually weep whenever I remember that we also had similar buildings on 85 Odunfa street, Lagos (lle awo si fila) or even Branco house on 27 Kakawa street, lagos. These old buildings should be generating millions in tourist dollars for our ailing economy by now. They were all pulled down for pennies.

I usually marvel at the ignorance of people that make jest of the ancient city of Ibadan because of the predominant red roof buildings across the town. Those houses need to be preserved and maintained in their original state. Pulling them down for skyscrapers will destroy the heritage. People will one day pay to come and see those red roofs.
When you become a seasoned traveller, you suddenly realise no one wants to visit a place to see other skyscrapers like New York. People want to visit historical centres, preserved ancient cultures, as well as religious centres.
We abandoned our culture and our religion for foreign cultures and allowed them to destroy our heritage. I am a Christian but If I have the opportunity today, I will prosecute everyone, including my ancestors, who allowed them to destroy the monuments of our culture including the relics of Orunmila, Ogun, sango, Ifa and other symbols of our culture and ancient religion.

The highlight of my last visit to Tokyo was a visit to the Asakusa temple, an Hindu temple. The Europeans that destroyed our own religion saying it was evil were all over the temple making a wish with coins in the temple as tourists. That temple receives 30 million tourists per year.

No one respects you when you abandon your own for theirs. Our youths are following in the footsteps of our ancestors with this JAPA SYNDROME. They condemn everything about their home country, display European and Canadian passports as trophies online while bad mouthing their motherland. They now wonder why South Africans don’t respect them or why they find it so hard to get a visa to go and become glorified housemaids to an average westerner who are probably less educated than they are.

There is dignity in labour no doubt but there is no dignity in abandoning your heritage and culture for others.

In the next fifty years, what will be left of our culture? We are selling our ancestral lands to build banks. We are abandoning our schools to develop the educational sector of the UK with the money bled from our economy. We are shipping our youths on voluntary slave trade to develop Europe.

When our children look back in the next century to see what we leave behind for them as a heritage, nothing will be left if care is not taken.

Japa is not an achievement. It is just a temporary solution that brings a lot of underdevelopment to our society. We need to start reversing the trend as a matter of national priority.

The people claiming to be the "smartest in Africa" are lgb0s not Nigerians, address the problem as it should be.
The reason South Africans hàtè Nigerîàns is because of lgb0s.
The complaints coming from foreigners about Nigerians is attitude displayed by lgb0s even on NL here on daily basis.


With that said, that does not mean Nigerians introduced drugs in South Africa, there are containers of ships loaded with drugs coming from South American and docking in South Africa on daily basis, they are not h8ing South Americans because of that, there are South Americans operating metlabs in South Africa, have they hàtéd them because of that?
They hàté Nigeria, lgb0s contributed alot to this.
That's why they will leave their police force that accepts bribe to blame those who offer the bribes.
Personally, I don't care about what they do to Nigerians living in their country because those lgb0s, once they sneak in to south Africa, they will start posting to insuIt Nigeria, they will even use Rwanda to insuIt Nigeria but when the host country becomes hostile, they will expect Nigeria they have been insuIting to come to their aid.
For the records, stop giving South Africans unnecessary attention, they don't deserve our attention.

Let me reply you just one time. My estate was initially marked to be demolished for the coastal road. Almost 100 luxurious houses.
I was shocked when empty barrels like you started shouting they were targeting Igbo business in lagos because of Landmark.

We have whatsapp group of the people affected so we know 80 percent were Yorubas but we don't make noise.

All the hawkers and artisans that work for me are hungry Igbo people. My family also regularly hang out with our rich Igbo neighbours so we don't discriminate.

The bottonline is that no tribe is hungry in isolation in Nigeria. No tribe is super rich. At best, the igbos survive on crimes and they gave us bad names all over the world.

Therefore, keep shut and I don't care wether you are Igbo. I am yoruba and we are not complaining. Keep your ebi n pawa to your father's house

To take away the entitlement that they are custodians of knowledge and wisdom.
You have never worked abroad. Disrespect in a work place is completely discouraged. They don't call you with the title because that is their culture. That doesn't mean you can talk anyhow to your boss. You will be sacked in a minute.

They also respect their elders. They stand up in trains and leave a seat for their elders.

Obidients are too toxic. This is not politics or opposition. No one will allow such a group of people to support their leaders.

If you haven't made up to 10 million in this government you shd be ashamed of yourself collecting little money for your ranting
I wont be surprised if the person you are talking to can feed u and your family for a year
Honestly, this should stop. It is childish, primitive and so barbaric for you guys...especially Igbos to keep shouting you can feed people you don't even know . Practically every poor artisan and hawkers I know are igbos. They are hard working no doubt but they are poor and can't feed anyone. Of course I have rich Igbo family friends too.

You are just creating unnecessary enmity both online and offline . We are all Nigerians. We all know no tribe is better. There are millions of yorubas that are doing well and are not making noise.

Anytime I see people saying they can feed someone, I usually consider then as mentally poor, unschooled and barbaric.

This will not make anyone vote for your candidate.


Hunger can NEVER REPLACE PRIDE ASSUMING THE HUNGER IS EVEN REAL. Palestinian and ISREAL war is enough to let you know that people will fight for their land and tribe even in hunger when they are attacked.

You are attacking a whole tribe. It won't end well next election.

I'm Obidient and I love Nigeria more than you sycophants.
They spent #21 billion on the VP's house, subsidized Hajj with over #90 billion, spent #1.5 billion buying cars for a 'First Lady' not recognized by the constitution and so many other unnecessary expenditures but can't pay Nigerian workers a living wage but sycophants like you are cheering them on because of the crumps you get from their tables.

Yes I'm Obidient and very proud of it
Peter Obi bought 400 SUVs for traditional rulers and senators yet he refused to pay living wage but sycophants like you are you cheering him. Maybe you are the one that feeds from the crumbs from his table.

You guys were probably born yesterday. How you suddenly turned obi, the fraudster, to overnight messiah should be studied in Havard

God will judge them.It affected us too at Oniru beach.They only gave compensation to bar owner not minding us that rent shop inside there.We are now jobless due to that,no one to patronise us again.please anyone into wine business should pls help me I want sell out all.They are new because most us just restocked before they came impromptu. I sourced from a best supplier and they all have barcode to check their authentication
God won't judge them. You want them to compensate tenants too? If you rent the shop and the owner is compensated, he should return your rent and you look elsewhere.

No one is saying you are not affected. However, this is not Nollywood. If the project succeed, it is for the good of all..

Purge yourself from Bigotry and start living in reality.

Tell me, is life better off with you now under you supreme leader Tinubu? Can you eat very comfortably as before? The Obedient are not your problem but the politicians. So, stop acting like someone without any brain.

We are all dying under this government that you idiot voted into power and you still have the nerve to abuse Obedient. Is it Obedient that has made life difficult for your people and Nigerians in general? Hope are enjoying your renewed shege! Soon you will start queuing to stand inline for free bread just to feed your stupid self.

Tribalism is a disease and you and your kind are really infected with it. You guys really need to get a cure for this chronic disease that is eating you guys up which has messed up your brain so bad that you cannot hold those oppressing you into account for their leadership but would rather transfer your frustration toward thesame poor oppressed masses that are also suffering under the government you idiot voted for..
What you are saying is typical of obidients . You keep regurgitating same rubbish over and over.


If Nigeria is bad under Tunubu, what is the evidence that Obi would be better? That things are not good under Tinubu doesn't mean he is not better than Obi. Both of them can even be bad.

If Obi was not a governor in Anambra, if obi did not serve Abacaha, If Obi has not changed political parties like a desperate prostitute more times than we can remember, if Doctors did not go on strike for one year while obi was the governor, if Obi did not refuse to pay minimum wage when he was the governor, if obi did not invest states money in his own bank, if obi CONDUCTED ANY FREE AND FAIR ELECTION into any local government during his eight years as a governor etc, that is when you can start saying all these.


We know his antecedents. We know he is not better than Tinubu so even if Tinubu is not doing well, it doesn't make obi a better candidate.

Some regurgitating rubbish... Ebi npawa....
all those childish rants. They won't get Obi to Aso Rock

If you think Igbos are supporting Peter Obi because he's Igbo, Please next election let APC field the following Igbo politicians
Orji Uzor Kalu
Hope Uzodinma
Rochas Okorocha
Okezie Ikpeazu
T.A Orji
Chimaroke Nnamani
Mbadinuju
Achike Udenwa

Lets check something.

Their failure in south east will shock heaven

Yes. Igbo always vote on tribalistic sentiments.
Igbo has never voted anyone without tribaliatic sentiments.

If we miss this man, Nigerians just forget it.
I know what he did and reform Anambra to this level.
His motto is. He doesn't steal and will never allow you to thief. But he manages and repair the rot the system has caused.
Don't worry. If we miss him in Nigeria, Biafra won't miss him .

By the way, Landmark could have achieved more silently without making noise. By making so much noise, he allowed other properties owners that would be affected by a new realignment to quickly stand up and start their own agitation too so there was no way the government could re route anything again.

It is not everything that we must turn to Igbo agenda.

The realignment is just to save face. These issues should have been sorted out during the EIA and final design approval. The project is shady bro.
I will tell you for free. If the government had insisted on the original gazette marked since 1980s, many properties will be destroyed and government won't have to pay compensation.

Over the years, people started building on the gazetted road thinking the project is dead. Of course they bribed government officials to look away. It is not everything you read in the papers that is true.


The government tried to avoid so many structures including those that even built on the gazetted road.

However, once they realigned your own, it will affect new owners infront. If they had avoided Landmark shanties completely, they would have to destroy many more structures infront.


At a time, we kept quiet and were doing our agitation silently because if we make noise, it will affect some other people infront too. We had to promise certain.people we would contribute money to build for them elsewhere If the new realignment affects them so that they won't start shouting too.

You think it is easy. You guys don't know anything

And you think every Igbo man hawks gala. You are just one tout who trolls nairaland for APC. Stop trying to form responsible landowner for you are not. Iga once again shut up it ain't by force to talk, you need not to talk.

Now they are saying the government did some realignment, you guys started saying the government didn't plan well, no environmental impact assessment bla bla bla..

If you know how we were begging and lobbying everyone that matters, you won't be typing rubbish. We brought the minister, the surveyor General, the works controller, the MD of Hitech etc several times giving them alternatives.
The government is doing some realignment to help some owners you guys are still complaining.

What is wrong with you all?

You are really a dunce walahi. So Landmark has shanties. Do you know what shanties are? You are not looking at the economic implication of this action. This man employs Yorubas who work for him, now serious and sensible countries have invited him to invest all that revenue and job opportunities gone. You should have small sense as it is not BT force to talk.

Once again stop the lies your house was never marked for demolition because if it was you will never talk like this. This your format has casted.
You think everyone hawks gala like you? For your Information, before landmark started his IGBO PROPAGANDA, We already got a lawyer in my area, paid the Estate valuer recommended by the ministry of works from Abuja who did valuation of all the properties so we know the value.
It was that document we were using to negotiate with government and plead for realignment.

We were also.meeting with affected property owners in different axis including your landmark.

We have several.whatsapp groups for property owners. The IGBOS are the least affected. Landmark was never touched eventually. Only his swimming pool and illegal structures built by the shoreline. Ordinarily, he is supposed to pay government for them to remove those structures.

The igbos that were affected don't have legal titles for the properties. They went ahead to bribe and build on the gazetted road.

Guy are you this stupid in reasoning. This man never hyped his investment, that is the true valuation of the investment. How on earth can you compare Adenuga towers in Banana island to this. Bros you get sense at all
The funny thing about you guys is that you are vehemently stupid and you don't even know. So the shanties is worth 200 million ? .

I started becoming irritated by Igbos more because of this coastal road. You know why? I am.personally affected. My house was marked for demolition and because of that, i have first hand info.

Yorubas have more valued properties that are affected but we all started agitating with government without making noise and without political undertones.

I was shocked when you foools started saying it was targeted at igbos. I looked at the list of the properties affected again and I became enraged.


You guys need to leave for your stupiid biafra. This is getting too much
