Nigeria In the Eyes of Rick Ross



RICK RO$$ is an American rapper whose latest video "Hold Me Back" is telling the truth about Nigeria with facts as shown in this short video documentary and contrary to the critics, he is not lying about Nigeria.
Nobody should hold Rick Ross back from showing the ugly realities in the most populous country in Africa.

The Nigerians criticizing Rick Ross are just like the President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan who prefers to live in denial of the failures of the Nigerian government.
Majority of Nigerians are suffering and dying in blighted areas, because the corrupt government has failed to provide for them. The corrupt politicians and their accomplices in power have been misappropriating the revenue allocations meant for the security and welfare of the citizens.

Nigerians in Nigeria are stigmatized and traumatized by the breakdown of law and order as the dreaded Boko Haram Islamic terrorists on rampage in the northern states are still attacking and killing innocent people and destroying government targets in suicide bombings and guerrilla raids, kidnappers are attacking and kidnapping innocent people in the south-eastern states and pirates are attacking oil pipelines and depots to steal over 150, 000 barrels of crude oil valued at N2.6 billion daily and armed robbers are also giving the law abiding citizens sleepless nights in the south western and south-southern states of Nigeria. Yet, the President of Nigeria and his rented crowd of sycophants, political jobbers and their beneficiaries are boasting that their corrupt government is transforming Nigeria and making Nigeria one of the fastest growing economies in the world, but the realities in Nigeria are in contrast to these claims.

Nigerian Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala faces an uphill struggle in reforming the economy of one of the world's most corrupt nations.

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

Image
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...
