He believes that Nigeria is destined for development, advancement and greatness. He discusses Nigeria with fervor, vigor and a vibrant sense of patriotism. He has been known to insist that we should all obey, when Nigeria calls.... No matter who is president and no matter the state of the economy!
He is an unflinching believer in one indivisible, strong and united Nigeria... where all citizens are equal regardless of state of origins, region of origins and or, religious affiliation. He talks about Nigeria in such very strong terms, you would be right, if concluded that Nigeria is what he worships as his religion.
He has always said that he would like to be remembered as a super-patriot, a consummate public intellectual with unparallel interest in Nigeria's national interests and Nigeria's worthy causes.... the common good of all Nigerians from Abia to Abuja to Bauchi and Benin to Bomadi, Burutu, Calabari to Calabar to Damaturu to Enugu to Forcados to Gamboru and to Jos to Kano to Kaduna and Makurdi to Modakeke to Namoda to Oturkpo to Oguta to Onitsha and to Potiskum to Zaria and Zungeru!

Why is it, that a majority of Nigerians cannot see the illogicality and idiocy, in regarding an Hausa-Fulani person who has lived in Jos for 100 years, and this Hausa-Fulani person, whose great grand parents have also lived in Jos, being labeled and in fact, castigated with the offensive appellation of “settler”? Why is it, that a majority of Nigerians cannot see the illogicality and idiocy, in regarding a Berom person who has lived Kano for 100 years, and this Berom person, whose great grand parents have also lived in Kano, being labeled and in fact, castigated with the offensive appellation of “settler”?

Gender Equality Agenda And Women Rights Human Rights 100 Years On
Women suffer disproportionately more than the rest of the world’s population, whether at a time of peace or at time of war. In essence, women suffer, in peace time and at war times. Women suffer from physical-mental abuses and brutalities, horrors and displacements and dislocations at times of war and social upheavals, as well as denial and deprivations of economic and political powers and opportunities at times of peace. Even at earthquake aftermaths as well. Women disproportionately suffer worldwide, relatively and comparatively, women suffer more

Democracy Is Not A Spectator Sport Or A Siddon Look Matter
|
During the past 100 days, since November 23rd 2009, when Mr. YarAdua’s health debacle foisted political power schemers and power mongers upon Nigerians and Nigeria, something additional have since become clear. It is that a majority of Nigerians, even among those with college degrees and hence, high literacy in the western education sense, are, unfortunately ignorant, totally, of the contents of the Constitution of Nigeria. This is similar to a so-called good Christian or good Muslim, with complete and total ignorance of the contents of the Bible and the Koran respectively, and that is clearly astoundingly shocking! The Constitution of Nigeria is available for free on the internet! Nigerians should read it and become familiar and conversant with its provisions.

President Umaru YarAdua Of Nigeria Is Back Home To Presidential Duties?
|
President YarAdua and his supporters must realize however, that, so much transpired while his absence from presidential duties persisted. And millions of Nigerians, at home and abroad, and millions of people around the world, were aghast, some prayed, some were worried sick and some others, feared chaos, anarchy, war and disintegration, as a result of the power vacuum created by his absence, induced of course, by his ill health.

General Danjuma, A Thunderous Applause Or Scathing Rebukes?
All these entities and persons are merely parasitic opportunists., but, perhaps Danjuma is arguably an opportunist with a human face/heart/conscience or remorse? Is having a human-face, heart, conscience and or remorse not better than unrepentant impunity? The point is well taken about preferred emphasis on insisting on Best Business Practices, and the decent and morally outstanding idea, of not entrenching and or, encouraging a culture of Robber Barons and actors who frequently act impunity.

American Terrorists Suicide Bombers Are Engaged In Terrorism Or Protests?
|
Considering this MOSSAD efficiently executed assignment in Dubai, and the benign act of this tax protester in Texas, I have come to realize that I need a brand new definition for the term double standards as well as the definition for the word known as obfuscation. All of these also makes me wonder, what exactly, by way of heinous murders, violence, malicious destruction of property, private and public, can be determined to be terrorist acts?

Obama Is Wrong On Nigeria, On Visit Snub, On Agents Meeting Babangida, & On Terrorist List
|
Why the preference to meet with thugs and enemies of the electorate? Are these in efforts to undermine the electorate and democracy? Nigerians should be very alert, and awake and if a coup does occur, as Nigerians now know, must know, on whose doorsteps we lay the consequences. I personally find the Christian/Muslim, North/South comments by Ambassador Campbell, provocative and inflammatory. And perhaps meant to stoke the fires and to incite segments of our national population in Nigeria, in an already volatile time such as Nigerians and Nigeria have been experiencing recently.

The Option Of Military Attack On Iran by America And Or Israel
Is the United States engaging in a needless hegemonic and imperialistic war mongering, and thereby unwittingly dissipating and decimating the United States itself? Consider the fact that the US has spent approximately a trillion dollars on foreign wars, since invading Iraq in March 2003, coupled with the war against Al Queda in Afghanistan soon after September 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States. Why would any president, congress, political leadership appear to be rather animated and in gyrations for yet, another foreign war in Iran?

Michael Aondoakaa Former AGF Should Be Investigated And Tried
|
It would have been anathema to logic, law and good sense, to allow Mr. Aondoakka to remain Nigeria’s Attorney General and Minister for Justice, bearing in mind that he advocated and defended the constitutional violations, breaches and infractions which were committed by President Umaru Musa YarAdua, the president who it was, who foisted power vacuum and power void upon Nigeria for 80 days, due to his neglect and continued refusal to obey the laws of Nigeria and comply with clear and specific sections of the Constitution of Nigeria. He would have had the singular misfortune of arguing both sides
