Politics / One Nigeria And The Tool Of Starvation And Murder by nofreedom: 9:01pm On Jun 16, 2016 |
Can a government that starved 2 million of it's Citizens that are supposedly 'LOVED' be truly called a government of the people or a government that believes in the equality of all NigerianS and that gives justice to all. Will a man kill a wife who wants to run away or will a father starve to death and slaughter his children who want to move out of his house and start off on their own. Does God reward sinners with immediate death , despite the utter wickedness of some people ,or does he not have patience with a long rope. How can you say you love me and my people when you starved 2 million of us to death in the name of ONE Nigeria and killed another 1 million in cold blood, even using Arab and Tuareg nationals to kill your own people. Even now , you kill my people in the dozens while shouting one Nigeria, what does this mean, that we should always be canon fodder for a people deranged with a deadly ideology that was imported from a backward region of the world ? If you did see me as part of ONE Nigeria , will you slaughter hundreds of innocent people because of an act that occured thousands of miles away from our shores. What is in it for you , why do you LOVE US SO MUCH that you must try to humiliate us, refuse us equal citinzenship and deny us justice. I am confused, what is this ONE NIGERIA LOVE that brings death and destruction, poverty and heart ache, chaos and confusion . Please help me understand.... 3 Likes |

Politics / Oil-rich Nigeria Is Ready To Implode. There’s One Way To Stop It by nofreedom: 9:20pm On Jun 03, 2016 |
Lawrence Solomon: Oil-rich Nigeria is ready to implode. There's one way to stop it Nigeria doesn't need bailouts; it needs to change its governance Nigeria doesn't need bailouts; it needs to change its governance. Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 180 million people, and its largest economy with a US$1.1 trillion GDP, is imploding. Insurrections by Boko Haram and others; sectarian butchery where the country's Muslim north meets its Christian south; corruption so rampant it ranks as the country's second-largest industry; and plummeting oil production - they're all making the country ungovernable. This resource-rich former British colony - until recently Africa's largest oil exporter - is now racking up deficits, and negotiating multi-billion dollar bailouts through agencies such as the World Bank. But bailouts from rich countries won't cure Nigeria's dysfunctions. This immense country is artificial, a forced union of three major and hundreds of minor ethnic groups speaking different languages, observing different legal codes and loyal to different tribal groups. Nigeria's cure will start when the ahistorical boundary cavalierly drawn on a map by Britain's colonial masters dissolves. The more coherent constituent nations to emerge - composed largely of the Igbo in the southeast, the Yoruba in the southwest and the Hausa and Fulani in the north - would be less burdened by the many rivalries that now hobble the central government, and better positioned to govern themselves. A first attempt at that necessary dissolution occurred in 1967, seven years after Britain gave Nigeria its independence, when the Igbo and related tribes of its oil-producing southeast broke away to form the Republic of Biafra. This nascent black African Christian republic, with a population of 14 million in an area larger than Ireland, was soon officially recognized by other black nations in Africa as well as Haiti in North America, and was unofficially supported by France, Spain, Norway, Israel and other Western nations, along with the Vatican and various Catholic organizations such as U.S. Catholic Relief Services. Biafrans, who had a culture of village democracy, tended to be skilled, entrepreneurial, relatively prosperous and relatively literate. The Republic of Biafra had the international legitimacy, the human capital and the resource wealth to be viable. But the support that came from its sympathizers was almost entirely moral, forcing Biafra and its initial 3,000-man army to manufacture most of its own arms in a civil war against the Nigerian army, which was armed by the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union. Some two to three million perished in the two-and-a-half years that Biafrans held out against their better armed, more numerous enemy, before surrendering and reintegrating into Nigeria. Nigeria since the Biafran War saw waves of military coups and repression. It stayed intact only because its oil revenues enabled the central government to finance its military and to buy off rebel insurgents. With oil revenues down, the central government reduced the payouts to tens of thousands of militants by 70 per cent, leading to widespread upset. In recent weeks, a new pro-Biafran militant group demanding sovereignty, the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), has attacked the country's oil infrastructure, almost halving Nigeria's oil production to 1.4 million barrels a day. "Our goal is to cripple Nigeria's economy," NDA vowed. So far it has succeeded in blowing up two Chevron export terminals and an underwater pipeline that forced Royal Dutch Shell to shut a terminal handling 250,000 barrels of oil a day. The Nigerian military not only needs to contain popular unrest in the Biafra region - the local press reports 53 killed in a "Biafra bloodbath" on Monday during a march commemorating the anniversary of Biafran independence - it also needs to contend with Boko Haram, which aims to establish a caliphate in the Muslim north-east. But Nigerian forces are dispirited and ineffectual, short of ammunition, poorly trained and poorly paid. Even if World Bank financing comes through, the loans won't do much for an economy in shambles. The national currency has depreciated 70 per cent in the last year, leading to high inflation; government workers in 26 of the country's 36 states haven't received their monthly salary for months; and severe gasoline shortages led the government to end price controls, causing a 67 per cent hike in prices at the pump. Nigeria doesn't need cash; it needs good governance, which is likelier to occur if the Igbo rule themselves in the southeast, the Yoruba in the southwest and the Hausa and Fulani in the north. The West blew it a half-century ago when the Igbos attempted to achieve self-determination by establishing the Republic of Biafra. We may soon see a reprise of that civil war. How the West responds will determine whether the nation states within Nigeria achieve self-determination, or whether Nigeria, like Libya and Somalia, becomes another failed state.

Politics / Re: How Buhari Averted Disaster In Ogoni Land ~ By Mohnice by nofreedom: 3:10pm On Jun 03, 2016 |
saintdennis: That is why it should be done peacefully, abi is it by force to live together, can't we have some sort of gentleman agreement to have a sort of loose association. And remember , the Nigerian Army cannot fight a war on 3 fronts , in fact if it was not for the hypocritical western support the Nigerian army received during the last war in the SE they would have been literally wiped out. This time around is very different as you will more thank likely have Israel, Russia, Ukraine and a host of other countries supporting the SS and SE with missiles and other high tech equipment. That said , I agree with you, we should never take up arms to kill our soldiers or other people, let us sit at the table like brothers and resolve this matter. The big question is this , will Buhari agree ? |

Politics / Igbos and the Abusive Relationship by nofreedom: 8:16pm On Jun 02, 2016 |
Imagine a woman who was forced into marriage to someone she does not really have feelings for all in the name of culture. She has almost nothing in common with her husband who demeans her , beats her mercilessly quite often, refuses to let her have a say in the upbringing of their children or family finances and treats her as if she is less than human. Yet this abusive husband eats her delicious food , enjoys her body and lives off her hard work. She runs to her politically correct relatives who advice her to go back and make the marriage work. Each time she goes back , the beating becomes more merciless and her husband becomes ten times more harsh and wicked to her. When she decides to fight back and defend herself , in the process breaking his head, the whole community rises up against her and scold her for protecting herself and children. So tries to run away but there is no where to go to. Is this is not how the Igbos have been treated in Nigeria. They have been forced into an arranged marriage by enemies and against her wish. Her people are massacred, denied the presidency for countless years, economically deprived , insulted and ridiculed on a daily basis. Yet the abusvie husband ( Nigeria ) enjoys her oil, gas, entrepreneurship and fruits of her handwork, while at the same time treating her like s.hit. When she tries to defend herself she is called a terrorist, rebel, bigot and many more unmentionable words. When she demonstrates unarmed to cry out against injustice, she is mowed down with machine gun fire and her warm blood soaks the ground as a testimony to the wickedness of her husband. She wants to run away but her husband and his minions refuse to let her go. Tell me Nairalanders how should the Igbos deal with this abusive relationship ? |
Politics / These People Are The Cause Of All Our Problems in Nigeria by nofreedom: 5:03pm On Jun 02, 2016 |
Disclaimer; this post applies to at least 95% of the following people. It is clearly understood that 5% of this group still have their garments untainted from the filth of corruption and wickedness. These are the two groups; 1. Psychotic politicians 2. Religious rogues Let me explain. Our politicians are psychotic because they lack basic human empathy and compassion. Their primary goal is self-preservation even it means the economic decimation of people's livelihoods. They are egoistic psychopaths who are incapable of alleviating the burdens of the masses because they really don't feel for them or care about their plight. These people are evil, many of them are into the occult and worship the devil. We have to think of how to purge this nation from these scum bags. Lying is their heavenly language, they have no integrity, honesty or dignity. Our religious leaders are traitors who do not stand up for the people, instead they plunder them in the name of tithes and other financial gimmicks, making them ten times more impoverished and desperate. Many of these so called pastors and imams are direct beneficiaries of the loot stolen by the politicians. They are all in an alliance of deception. The MOG build universities and schools that their poor members cannot attend, they refuse to use the billions they STEAL every Sunday to improve the lives of their youth or even setup and establish meaningful programmes or schemes to reduce employment and promote small business start-ups. These ones are the sex maniacs, sleeping with their members, other people’s wives and so on and so forth. So the question people is, how the hell are we going to purge the land from these devils so that they cease to exist amongst us and we get a breakthrough . 1 Like |

I suspect the President would be very angry with IPOB and MASSOB because they weren’t as active as this in the last administration. But, these groups have been existing, and didn’t spring up today. The big question is this: why have they decided to be very ‘restless’, these days? 2 Likes |
