Adebayo Alonge (Public Affairs Analyst) The right economic route is a mix of responsible government and free market without either of both human rights abuses and exploitation- … Continue reading The Right Economic Model For Nigeria (Ed. 2) →

Boko Haram: Are Nigerians Hoping For A Hero?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=NAqc54duV6g#t=106s

In the first 25 days of 2012, Boko Haram has killed at least 250 people,killing 185 people in Kano on a single day (20/01/2012). In 2011, they killed at least 450 people. Their spokesmen say that they should be known as Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati wal-Jihad (جماعة أهل السنة للدعوة والجهاد). Since the start of their self-declared jihad in 2009, after 7 years of teaching Salafism peacefully while arming itself, the group has killed at least 1500 people and caused mass civil displacement in Nigeria's North-East. In 2010, Abubakar Shekau, the new leader of the group after the killing of its founder- Mohammed Yusuf, invited a Daily Trust (Northern Nigeria's most read daily newspaper) reporter who was blindfolded, to its base in Maiduguri. Shekau warned of an escalation in the jihad in the coming days. The Nigerian police dismissed the report and at least 800 people have died since then. Are Nigerian hoping for a hero? Are Nigerians waiting on their government and security agencies to save them? Are Nigerians hoping in hope that this blood spilling will end? As souls depart like eagles from dead bodies in thousands, how long shall Nigerians stand and await the much prayed for hero? Is the hero President Goodluck Jonathan or IGP M.D. Yusuf? Is the hero Gen. Andrew Azazi or Air-Marshal Oluseyi Petinrin? Nigerians can you hear heaven? Boko Haram laughs as we fly away.

Boko Haram: How The Nigerian Police Created This Monster

The Nigerian people apply jungle justice to thieves they catch in their market places. The Nigerian police shoots to kill citizens that the courts have not sentenced to death. Today, the Boko Haram sect strikes at security installations and innocent civilians and we ask why. The answer is this: lack of respect for the sanctity of life and the rule of law by the Nigerian populace and their security forces explains the origin of this monster called Boko Haram.

Remarks by the President Of The USA in State of the Union Address

….The defining issue of our time is how to keep that promise alive. No challenge is more urgent. No debate is more important.

Mind of Malaka

So I got this in my email this morning…

They call the Third World the lazy man’s purview; the sluggishly slothful and languorous prefecture. In this realm people are sleepy, dreamy, torpid, lethargic, and therefore indigent—totally penniless, needy, destitute, poverty-stricken, disfavored, and impoverished. In this demesne, as they call it, there are hardly any discoveries, inventions, and innovations. Africa is the trailblazer. Some still call it “the dark continent” for the light that flickers under the tunnel is not that of hope, but an approaching train. And because countless keep waiting in the way of the train, millions die and many more remain decapitated by the day.

“It’s amazing how you all sit there and watch yourselves die,” the man next to me said. “Get up and do something about it.”

Brawny, fully bald-headed, with intense, steely eyes, he was as cold as they come. When I first discovered…

The Mathematics Behind the Subsidy Fraud.

From a final price of N140.85 /pms litre at which it is sold in the Nigerian market, it means that between 63.2%-75% of the total value paid for each litre of pms by Nigerians goes to foreigners. This is a sabotage of the Nigerian economy and a mortgage of the futures of her people. Adebayo … Continue reading The Mathematics Behind the Subsidy Fraud. →
