Hi everyone, in need of some suggestions.

I'm a writer on upwork and I've been collecting my payments through grey (aboki africa) USD account at a much higher exchange rate than what upwork offers.

However, for some weeks now their USD account offering has neen down which has left me really stranded. If i withdraw using upwork's exchange rate, I will loose so much money.

I'd really appreciate it if you can give me alternatives, besides PayPal and payoneer. Like a virtual USD account where i can withdraw in dollars.

Dozens Of Hausa's Massacred In Ife


Is Time You Come Back Home.

* Very atrocious and hapless incident, I pray it never happens again. You murdered the Hausas, overjoyed and yet blame them for your crimes. Many have been slayed but only 5 were reported. (By your deceitful media platforms)

* Thereupon you fabricated contrastive narrations about the incident 2 paint black them (Hausa).

* My message to the none indigenes: You should never go on reprisal attack thus killing innocent people. It is time you return home and develop your inherent domain.

" Yes you can and Yes you will make it in your belonging territory. "

I reason with this line of thought,I don't think the northern movie industry would welcome the idea of a movie with people they term as infidels

.....doesn't hollywood movies use Russians and Afghanistans as infidels some times.....its just a movie

The Igbo As a Blessing to Nigeria - Reno Omkri1“On the 15th of August 1945, the axis nations fighting in the Pacific theater defeated imperial Japan and two weeks later, Japan formally surrendered to allied forces led by the U.S. General, Douglas McArthur, who formally accepted the signed articles of surrender.But though the U.S. defeated Japan, they never decimated Japan’s great technological and industrial complex. They were visionary enough to distinguish these from Japan’s military industrial complex, which they scrapped.Realizing that Japan was decades ahead of the West in many technologies, the allied powers, led by the US, allowed those industries to remain as a going concern and took the unique step of enacting legislation and policies to enable them flourish.What they did in Japan, they also did inEurope. In Europe, the US, acting unilaterally, even went a step further by introducing the Marshall Plan through which America sent financial and other types of aid to help Europe (and especially Germany) recover fromthe ravages of the Second World War.The point of the allied and American actions in Japan and Europe is that technological advancement belongs to the human race and should not be allowed to suffer because of a quarrel or war amongst humans.This lesson was thoroughly establishedin 642 AD when the Library of Alexandria was burnt to the ground during the Muslim conquest of Egypt.It has been argued that that act set theworld several centuries back in technological advancement and has become something to watch out for during the prosecution of a war.A war is a quarrel between or amongstpeople that is settled by means of violence. It is not a quarrel between or amongst technology, so civilized nations have pursued the policy of fighting wars while preserving technology.Gone should be the days of the scorched earth policy which is why despite the bestiality of the apartheid regime, President Nelson Mandela did not do a Mugabe, but rather left intact White owned farms, industry and universities and only insisted that they be opened to Blacks and other races.This brings me to Nigeria. I would like to state a fact that will be argued against, but still a fact that even those who would argue against it know to be true.The Igbo (or Ibo) ethnic nationality of Nigeria are the most technologically advanced Black race on planet earth, bar none!This is a fact. A fact that was proven to be true for 30 months while they were landlocked in their constantly shrinkingenclave known as Biafra.Cut off from the rest of the world, the ingenuity of the Igbo came to the fore during the civil war as they constructedthe Uli airstrip and when that airstrip was bombed, they repaired it in recordtime and under the most trying circumstances. They would go on to repair Uli not once and not twice.The Igbos refined petrol from a varietyof non fossil fuels, including from but not limited to palm products (from which they also produced diesel) and manufactured surface to air missiles which they also adapted to surface to surface missiles (the Ogbunigwe).They converted commercial planes to fighter jets and weaponized them. Thatwas no mean feat in 1967.In fact, when in 2012, the Nigerian Army rolled out the igirigi and promoted it as the first indigenous armored personnel carrier, they were wrong. I am not a Biafran. I am proudly Nigerian. And beyond that, I am a proud dark skinned Black Africanyet I make bold to say that the igirigi is not the first indigenous APC.In fact, the first indigenous armored personnel carrier in Black Africa is the Red Devil, built by the Igbos during the Nigerian Civil War.The Nigerian Civil War ended in January 1970 and the Nigerian Army unveiled the igirigi in July of 2012. If they had converted the Red Devil to their own use, they would probably be talking about a greater feat in the year 2012.My question is what happened in the intervening 42 years between 1970 and 2012? Why didn’t the Nigerian Army integrate the military industrial complex of Biafra into its Defence Industry Corporation of Nigeria, DICON?Why did we have to reinvent the wheelat great cost in terms of time and money?The Nigerian Civil War ended on a noteof ‘no victor no vanquished’. That was awatershed moment inspired by the Christlike mind of General Yakubu Gowon. That gesture is to be applauded.But why did we as a nation not go the whole hog and take advantage of Biafra’s technological advances and integrate her scientists into our Research and Development sector much like the US did with German and Japanese scientists?That is where we failed as a nation.I remember growing up as a child and how other Nigerians scoffed at ‘Igbo made’ electronic products. There was hardly anything including electronics, pharmaceuticals, spirits and wines thatthe Igbos could not counterfeit.And rather than our leaders seeing thepotential in those products, we all scoffed at them. Igbo made products were a pariah.Did it ever occur to any of our leaders that if government had supported these technological advancement, Nigeria could have become an industrialized nation today and Igbo made products would have been exported abroad as made in Nigeria products?It would surprise many that a number of the greatest technological advancement and products that came out of America after the Second World War were the work of German or Japanese scientists!In an operation code named Operation Paperclip, 1500 German scientists, engineers and technicians were airlifted to the United States and given US permanent US residency and citizenship immediately after the defeat of Germany in 1945. The primary aim of Operation Paperclip was to prevent these skilled men and women from falling into Soviet Russianhands.Hans Erich (Eric) Hollmann who was one of the fathers of radar technology was one of such scientists airlifted to America.Kurt Lehovec the pioneer of the integrated circuit systems in electrical engineering is another. He was airliftedto America in 1945 where he became aProfessor at the University of SouthernCalifornia and passed on his knowledge to America’s next generation of scientists.The allies had been having issues with the jet engine and were not able to develop planes like the German Messerschmitt Me 262. But after the defeat of Germany, US forces gave safe passage to Rudi Beichel who went to the US and became an adviser to the US army on liquid propulsion. Other German scientists such as Magnus “Mac” Freiherr von Braun and his brother, Wernher Von Braun helped reverse engineer German jets which led to the development of the US American F-86 Sabres, a plane that helped the US dominate the air during the Korean War.More importantly, Wernher Von Braunprovided much of the know how that helped America build the Apollo spacecraft which allowed America beatRussia as the first nation to get to the moon.Methamphetamine was invented by Japanese a Japanese chemist, Nagai Nagayoshi and the drug was shared with their German allies and helped their soldiers stay awake and focus. After the war, German scientists helped American scientist synthesize the drug which revolutionized the US health industry.Why can’t we do the same in Nigeria? Can you imagine what our technological base would have been if we as a nation had a policy of patronizing the so called Igbo made products right from the end of the war till today? What if we had absorbed thethe Research and Production Organisation of Biafra (RAP as it was then known) into the Nigerian Army Corps of Engineers?By now, we may have been manufacturing jets and we would not be dependent on foreign nations for weapons to fight terrorists.This is why I was so disgusted with the minister of science and technology, Ogbonnaya Onu for aspiring, on Nigeria’s behalf, to produce pencils by 2018!I mean this man is the first civilian governor of the old Abia state which today encompasses both Abia and Ebonyi states.Right there, under his own nose, Nigerians of Igbo extraction, without ANY governmental support, are manufacturing electronics and heavy machinery components and Onu is caught up on pencils!Onu should visit Nnewi if he knows where it is. Right there he would

it's not as if scientists have not yet discovered a cure for hiv, there is actually, only that the drug is too strong for the human frame, when a human takes the drug, it will first of all kill the body b4 it gets to the virus, that's why it has not yet been released.
