President Obasanjo and Prime Minister Patrick Manning in a diplomatic embrace Nigeria deserves to have a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. Because of her pivotal role in the leadership of Africa in the UN and in her commitment to the regional security and stable economy of Sub -Saharan Africa in peace keeping operations, technical manpower development, energy and food security in West Africa. The fact is, Nigeria is a regional power in the geo-political map of the world. In fact, Nigeria will be of immense benefit to the UN Security Council in the strategic imperatives for the implementation of the UN resolutions for global peace. Therefore, Nigeria does not need to lobby for this position. Because, it is even long over due for Nigeria to have a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. It is not a contest. It is our right. We believe that Nigeria and Egypt deserve the two new permanent seats earmarked for Africa on the United Nations Sec...

Depleted Uranium: The Trojan Horse of Nuclear War by Leuren Moret World Affairs – The Journal of International Issues, July 2004 www.globalresearch.ca 8 July 2004 The URL of this article is: http://globalresearch.ca/articles/MOR407A.html "Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot that it do singe yourself." William Shakespeare (1564-1616 ) The use of depleted uranium weaponry by the United States, defying all international treaties, will slowly annihilate all species on earth including the human species, and yet this country continues to do so with full knowledge of its destructive potential. Since 1991, the United States has staged four wars using depleted uranium weaponry, illegal under all international treaties, conventions and agreements, as well as under the US military law. The continued use of this illegal radioactive weaponry, which has already contaminated vast regions with low level radiation and will contaminate other parts of the world over time, is indeed a wor...

The old man who stole the Christmas of over a million children in Zimbabwe. When he made them homeless and some of these children have died in the mayhem of the demolition of their homes. For how long shall we continue to watch the tyranny of this old African despot? I say the time to tell Papa Robert Mugabe to go is long overdue. Sokwanele! Enough is enough! The ruthlessness and wickedness of Papa Robert Mugabe the old head of state of Zimbabwe has made him the most unpopular African leader in the Western media. He became infamous for kicking out many white farmers from their farmlands in Zimbabwe and now he has made hundreds of thousands of poor miserable masses of Zimbabwe homeless when he sent his armed storm troopers and bulldozers to demolish thousands of their homes. And thousands of them don't even have any shelter in the storm. We have been having long discussions on the critical situation in Zimbabwe and here is one of the best responses from Czamani, one of the frontline...

"You monkeys! We are not your enemy, we are America's enemy," He yelled. "It was our mistake to fire at you, so why are you chasing us? We are all Africans!" Those were the words uttered by the bloody insurgents of the Al Qaeda command in Algeria as they fought against Chadian soldiers in the desert just last year. They retreated after losing 28 men and they killed 20 Chadian soldiers in that battle. And till date more bloody confrontations are still going on in Africa between African soldiers and the terrorists. But, most people in America and Europe are totally ignorant of the war on terror going on in Africa. Because, they think it is only in Iraq and Afghanistan that the insurgents are on rampage. Not knowing that we in Africa are also sacrificing our lives in bloody battles with the bandits and terrorists trained by the Al Qaeda to launch their offensive incursions into the heart and soul of Africa. And the Pentagon is now fully engaged in training African ...

The news that that former US President Bill Clinton regrets the fact that he could have done something to prevent the Rwandan holocaust and he failed to do so is nonsense to me. All these "Oh! I could have done some thing if only I knew" and "Had I known" are all American bullshit to me. Useless Medicine after death. Useless crocodile tears. Look at the present genocide in the Darfur region in Sudan. What happened did not happen whilst the UN and the comity of nations were sleeping. The genocide in the Darfur happened in broad daylight before the eyes of the whole world and what did we do? What did those in authority and power with the means to prevent the catastrophe do? The UN was like a lame duck until recently and the rest of the world were only gaping and moping and gasping for breath watching the horrors of the massacres of helpless thousands and mass rape of helpless Sudanese women by the diabolical forces of the lawless Islamic rulers of Sudan for years and ...

Millions of Nigerians are dollar-crazy. They can do anything for the dollars. If there is a special Olympic Games for Internet Scams, Nigeria will come tops. The incredible feats of these special breed of Nigerian criminals are to say the least mind-boggling. I mean the way many of them have succeeded to hoodwink and swindle their victims would make them the greatest magicians in the world. They have so perfected their fraudulent practices that they now have branches overseas in several European countries. And they have expanded their network with tentacles in the Netherlands and Belgium. There is no one on line on planet earth who has never received any of these annoying notorious Internet Scam letters promising you millions of dollars worth of contracts and others claiming to be refugees and victims of one predicament to another. In fact their list of "get rich- quick" schemes is endless. They have even beaten the Western masters in their own games. But, amazingly, the Nig...

Charles Taylor is wanted for war crimes in Liberia International Pressure On Nigeria To Surrender Former Liberian President For Trial By Gabi Menezes, Abidjan, 21 July 2005. Charles TaylorNigeria is resisting mounting international pressure to extradite former Liberian President Charles Taylor for trial at an international tribunal on war crimes charges. Mr. Taylor went into exile in Nigeria in 2003 as part of a peace deal to end the civil war in Liberia. Nigeria says it will not extradite Mr. Taylor without proof of allegations he has violated the terms of his exile. For two years, a U.N.-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone has wanted Charles Taylor to stand trial on war crimes charges related to allegations he stirred up a rebellion in Sierra Leone. The charges include murder, sexual slavery, and the use of child soldiers. With rebels poised to attack Monrovia, Mr...

"Do not snarl at Karl Yet, I am not saying Karl Rove Is as innocent as the dove. But who will bear the blame Of this American scandalous shame? Is it not Wilson and Plame? Or should we hang it on Novak Whose slip of tongue Caused the secret to leak? He who is guilty of this treacherous crime Should bear the shame of the slime." -- Orikinla Osinachi- I am very happy that this political uproar in America is making all Americans to now know Niger, an African country groping in the darkness of obscurity is now in the spotlight of the awesome American media. The American public is very ignorant of Africa. They have erroneous information on Africa and they have been deceived by the American Lies of their media. Now they know that we Africans possess in abundance the raw radio-active materials that the rest of the world will do anything to have even if they have to harass and embarrass their President and blow their cover to do so. Please, relax and enjoy this American political soa...

President Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria and President George W. Bush of America holding hands like two "queer" buddies at the last G-8 Summit in Gleneagles, Scotland. In Nigeria, President Obasanjo has been called a liar in the forthcoming book "THE PRESIDENT LIED" by Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima and in America President Bush has been called a liar by millions of Americans on the street, in the media and even in the Congress. THE GENESIS OF TRAITOR-GATE STARTED IN NIGERIA The current crisis of trust implicating Karl Rove and others actually started in Nigeria and it is a very complicated case that could even worsen the complications and implications of the controversial case. Please, take time to read the following reports: Halliburton hit with Nigeria ban President Obasanjo backs the embargo against Halliburton: Nigeria has placed an embargo on government contracts with a subsidiary of US oil services firm Halliburton. It said it was taking action against Halliburt...

A survivor covers her head with a newspaper. I am posting this very important article on the reaction of Tony Blair to the terrorist bomb attacks in London on July 7, 2005. It was written by Arthur Weinreb, the Associate Editor of the Canada Free Press. "Greater London has around eleven million people, and every day about 400 of them die of natural causes. Yesterday closer to 450 died, and almost 10 per cent of the day’s deaths were due to terrorism. Today another 400 Londoners will die, none of them from terrorism." Media / Media Bias: CBC mocks Tony Blair's reaction to terrorist attacks and minimizes casualties By Arthur Weinreb, Associate Editor, Canada Free Press Tuesday, July 12, 2005. In a CBC Radio commentary that aired the day after the horrific terrorist attacks in London, journalist Gwynne Dyer described British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s reaction by saying: "…the sounds that came out of his mouth were unmis...

We are publishing the confession of a former Nigerian revolutionary who does not want all radical militant activists fighting against injustice to be called terrorists. "We are freedom fighters. It is wrong to call us terrorists." We cannot reveal his identity. And we are also publishing the comprehensive reports on the dangerous developments in Nigeria indicating the existence of an Al Qaeda Network in the Northern region of Nigeria, from 2002 to date. THE CONFESSION OF A REPENTANT SUICIDE BOMBER. Osama bin Laden sets eyes on Nigeria. The Islamists in Nigeria. Osama bin Laden cites Nigeria in one of his recent announcements. THE CONFESSION OF A REPENTANT SUICIDE BOMBER I am alive today, because I changed my mind. God saved my life. It was on the 5th of July last year, and we could have done what would have been the worst catastrophic terrorist attack in the history of Nigeria since the civil war. And it was very easy. But I was depressed. I thought of the grave consequences....
