The Hysteria Over The Nigerian Census



I have already spoken and commented on the on-going Population and Housing Census in Nigeria on World Have Your Say produced by Priyah Shah of the BBC World Service.

The religious and tribal hysterics of Nigerian petty politics should be dismissed.
The misled militants of Members of the Movement for the Actualisation of a Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) attacked and disrupted the census in the South Eastern region of Nigeria. MASSOB is a mob of sick tribalists who have wrong notions of our history. They think the Ibos are actually Jews.

For more on the controversial issues raised, read Sola Odunfa's "Nigeria's counting controversy" on BBC Focus on Africa magazine

When the smoke clears, I will add more to my opinions.

Keshi,
We believe in what is best for humanity above and beyond petty acts of selfishness and foolishness.

I am totally against tribalism as much as I am totally against racism. And I am totally against all violations of our fundamental human rights.

Free to live and free to love as long as what we do will not endanger the lives of others.

Terrorist Attacks on America Before Osama Bin Laden Was Born : 1920 -2005.

Image
This is a record of all terrorist attacks in America and in countries with American interests and on American Embassies and citizens abroad. Osama bin Laden did not create the demons of terrorism. He is only one of the most diabolical and destructive of them all. The devil is the author of Terrorism in his capacity as the Son of Perdition and the father of chaos. It is very important to clarify these issues for the benefit of those who are ignorant and naive and have been jumping to erroneous conclusions. Terrorist Attacks (within the United States or against Americans abroad) 1920: septa. 16, New York City: TNT bomb planted in unattended horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street opposite House of Morgan , killing 35 people and injuring hundreds more. Bolshevist or anarchist terrorists believed responsible, but crime never solved. 1975 Jan. 24, New York City: bomb set off in historic Fraunces Tavern killed 4 and injured more than 50 people.

Let Us Talk To Boko Haram - Nigerian Professor

A Commentary Direct Talk and Psychological Accessibility to the Boko Haram Group Is worth the Trial in Nigeria It is now obvious that the nation is now fully plagued by terrorism which is so widespread and monumental that it is hard to unravel. At a time when the Nigerian air is filled with the festivities of Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice, which in a supposed way should involve the slaughter sheep and cattle, and not the near-sacrifice of a son, as in Abraham’s case, but the reverse is the case.Human slaughter is in our face on a daily basis in Nigeria due to the Boko Haram wrath. Violence in Nigeria, a country of more than 150 million with an almost equal split between the Christian south and the Muslim north is affecting public safety and national security. Nothing appears to be stopping the inflammable and untamed-able torment, fear and worry across the country. There appears to be a legitimate state of distress nationally, and the cause of the state of distress is growing d...
