Here is my latest classic political article, Is America Ready For Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama? and it is a must read. Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama, The Political Couple of the Democrats

From all the news reports on the emerging Presidential candidates in Nigeria, the battle is going to be an all northern political leaders affair as the former military head of state, retired General Muhammad Buhari has been nominated as the flag bearer of the main opposition party, the All Nigeria People's Party (ANPP) and thus poised to challenge Alhaji Umaru Yar' Adua of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). But, the most formidable Presidential aspirants would be the Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the former military head of state, retired General Ibrahim Babangida. Professor Pat Utomi the presidential flag bearer of the new African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the ex-pop star Rev. Chris Okotie of the Fresh Democratic Party (FDP) are the new breed political leaders of the future and they don't stand any chance contesting against the political juggernauts who are well known to the majority of the Nigerian electorate. It is unfortunate that the political lead...

Did the title of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti's Afrobeat song "Beasts of No Nation" inspire Uzodinma Iweala to give his first novel the same title? Uzodinma Iweala The beasts of no nation or vagabonds in power as Fela called them are still in power in Nigeria. And it is a great pity that majority of Nigerians have forgotten that the present head of state, President Olusegun Obasanjo was the same head of state who sent his zombies in uniform to attack Fela Anikulapo-kuti and threw his old mother over the balcony and assaulted the wives and dancers of Fela in the military invasion of Kalakuta Republic in 1978. President Olusegun Obasanjo has not repented. Because he has invaded other places from the Middle Belt to the Niger Delta region of Nigeria since he returned to power in 1999 and left them in sorrows and tears. And what President Obasanjo did in Odi is not different from what the late Gen.Sani Abacha did in Ogoni land. The beasts of no nation have been feasting on the masses...

Uncle Sam: WHERE DID THE NEGROES GET THE MONEY? Orikinla: Them negroes got them money from Uncle Sam's Cabin. Where did the hunkies get their dollars? From the useless war in Iraq. The war in Iraq is a billion dollar mega business. Ask Dick "the prick" Cheney. God bless.

Born in Calabar on September 30, 1961 to Mr. Henry Duke and his wife, Genevieve, his childhood and youth were remarkable, secure and successful. He loved and respected his parents, particularly his famous father, who, as chairman of the old Board of Customs and Excise, was legendary for his integrity and uprightness. By all accounts, he was not an exceptional student at Corona School, Lagos or Federal Government College, Sokoto. But when his spirit got out of hand, he was recognized as a very promising student! Perhaps, the earliest clue to what he was destined to become was as an undergraduate at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, where, as a member of the Students’ Union executive, his passion for debates, his thorough, retentive and curious mind, one which constantly asked questions about the future of our country - all came to the fore. The certainty and security of his early life was broken, when, at 27, he lost his father in 1988. Before then, the solidity of his life was inta...

There has never been a free and fair election in Nigeria." ~Maryam Adamu Umar Washington Post, 12/11/2006 I have just read the Washington Post report on the new electoral process in Nigeria with the introduction of the electronic voters registeration system. And I am amused. Because, the most important thing to the majority of Nigerians is not the electoral process. What most Nigerians want is good governance that will solve their economic and social problems. And they don't even care if the elections are rigged or not. Just give us good leaders and not political crooks and rogues in the masquerade of democracy. Who should be the next President of Nigeria? That is the question. I have been close to the corridors of power and have worked in the political campaign office of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur between 1990 and 1992 on Eletu Agabi Street on the Victoria Island in Lagos. I have had the privilege of meeting with some top politicians in Abuja. And I can state here that most of the...

If any UN diplomat deserves the Nobel Prize for Peace, that noble diplomat is Jan Pronk the UN Special Envoy to Sudan for his fearless confrontation with the rebels and draconian ruling Islamists on rampage in Darfur. And I have been monitoring and evaluating his progress to bring an end to the genocide in Darfur. Sir, I have read and now understood the hypocrisy of the ruling regime in Sudan. The fact is the ruling regime in Sudan is guilty of crimes against humanity in Darfur. And your statements of facts from your eye-witness accounts proved them wrong and they believe you have seen enough. And the less you know the better for them. Because they are afraid that your evidence could be used against them when they would be tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Well done sir. Dear Orikinla Osinachi, Thank you very much for your understanding. You are right. Please tell your colleagues and friends, so that the people in Darfur will not be forgotten. With best regards, Jan Pro...

As Americans vote , we watch them to see how their votes will also pass their verdict on President George W.Bush. And as the opinion polls show, Bush is no longer the choice of the majority of American voters and this fact would be the yardstick to push the Republicans out of power. Americans have had enough of the Republican misadministration in the prosecution of the war on terror as shown by chaos caused by the war in Iraq. Here is the mail from my real namesake, Michael Moore. Friends, Tomorrow night, those who sent 2,800 of our soldiers to their deaths -- all because of a lie the president concocted -- will find out if America chooses to reward them -- or remove them. As good as things look for the Democrats, do not pop the corks and start the partying yet. Do not believe for a second that the Republicans plan on losing. They will fight like dogs for the next 24 hours -- relentless, unforgiving, nonstop action to squeeze every last conservative voter out of the house on election ...

May I ask you to read the following report from an Aviation expert in Nigeria published in the Nigerian Vanguard News of Tuesday, December 13, 2005. Why Nigerian Planes Are Crashing Like Sick Birds Shot Down From The Sky? I read it all earlier in 2005 and the tragic fact is the authorities never bothered to read it. And if they read it, they never bothered to address the issues raised. When the Bellview and Sosoliso crashed last year, we all asked the President of Nigeria to sack the incompetent morons he appointed in the Aviation sector. But the moron himself did not listen and was busy trying to manipulate the constitution to favour his Third Term Bid and when Vice President Atiku Abubakar did not support him, he turned his furies on Atiku instead of doing his work. And all of them are still busy fighting and killing themselves and looting the treasury and sharing oil blocs and licenses among themselves and their proxies until this plane crash jolted them back to reality. Read the re...

The beneficiaries of the kleptocratic regimes are now touted and celebrated as the richest men in Nigeria and decorated as the gurus of the economic growth of Nigeria. Criminals who should be in jail or even summarily executed for causing the untimely deaths of millions of the masses in Nigeria they left in penury and misery.

The Sultan of Sokoto Alhaji Muhammadu Maccido and his son have been killed in the latest plane crash in Nigeria. Over 97 other passengers were also killed in this terrible plane crash. The ADC Boeing 737 crashed near the Abuja airport and exploded into flames at noon. The BBC and CNN were the first to report the bad news. The Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) later brought the details of the air disaster. See the CNN for the video of one of the survivors. May the souls of all those killed in the catastrophic plane crash rest in peace and may God comfort their bereaved families and all Nigerians.

I have just received the following letter of appeal for Darfur from Maureen Byrnes, the Executive Director of Human Rights First and I want to appeal to you reading this post to join us in helping the suffering and dying refugees in Darfur. I have been active in the global efforts to end the crisis in Darfur where over six Nigerian soldiers with the African Union (AU) Peace Keeping Force have been killled. And this made me to advise my contact in Darfur to leave by all means. He is like a brother to me. So his safety is paramount. He has been sending me eye-witness accounts of the catastrophe in Darfur and I corresponded with Jan Pronk the UN Special Envoy in Sudan. But now Maureen just informed me that Jan Pronk has been expelled by the ruling goverment in Sudan. I have some classified reports and I cannot make them public now. Please, respond to the following appeal as I have done. More details are provided on Human Rights First . Hello Toniyah, Last week I sent you a message about t...

It is as if every day by day another lunatic Islamic fanatic bites the dust whether staged, caged or killed. I am afraid to confirm that Islamic terrorists are the most endangered specie on earth. And we have to save the others lest they all perish in the war on terror. Please, the Guantanamo Bay Zoo would be a better and safer habitat for them even if they have to be subjected to daily rituals of Waterboarding . Please, report any terrorist to GWB and he will take very good care of the wild predator.

Who watched the Chief Dan Etete interview on the Africa Independent Televison (AIT) this morning? The former Minister of Petroelum made some serious allegations against the Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Shell was implicated as a criminal multinational oil company in shady oil deals in Nigeria. The interview was on dirty oil deals with the allocation of oil blocs and the dispute over the Malabu Oil which was mentioned by Elendu Reports. President Olusegun Obasanjo is also said to be one of the owners of Suntrust Petroleum. The other partners in the company are former Ambassador Andrew Young and Carlton Masters, the president of Goodworks Intl, LLC. The story of Malabu Oil and Dan Etete is another indication of Obasanjo half-hearted attempts at fighting corruption. Malabu Oil and Nigeria are locked in a case in the Federal District Court, New York. Sources say Dan Etete, a former petroleum minister during the Abacha regime, had awarded his company, Malabu Oil, a very lucrative oil b...

Well, well, well. I am glad that Jendayi Frazer said it! ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigeria accused a top U.S. State Department diplomat of disrespecting the African country's leadership on Wednesday after she dismissed a high-level corruption feud as political muckraking. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Jendayi Frazer was reported as saying a dispute between President Olusegun Obasanjo and Vice President Atiku Abubakar was the work of politicians trying "to smear the reputation of their opponents." Washington Post, 27/09/2006 President Olusegun Obasanjo has always been a spoiler from his village to the State House. And he wants to discredit his deputy to truncate the Presidential ambition of Vice President Atiku Abubakar. But as we all know that the kettle cannot call the pot black.

It is unfortunate, but it is the bitter truth as a 30-page National Intelligence report has confirmed that the war in Iraq has only worsened the war on terror. And the sooner America and her allies withdraw from Iraq the better and safer for Americans and other victims of this suicidal war. Just leave the Iraqis to settle their scores for better or for worse. And may God help them to repent or perish! Remember it was Osama bin Laden who played Oprah Winfrey when he also unwittingly helped the 72-year-old Washington author William Blum to hit the top of the bestsellers list by displaying Blum's 2000 foreign-policy diatribe, "Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower," in one of Osama bin Laden's videos shown on the CNN, Fox and other news channels. Now President Hugo Chavez has done it for Noam Chomsky's book "Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance" and I am desperately wooing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran to ...

U.S. can't confirm bin Laden death report: official President Jacques Chirac confirmed that they have a report that Osama bin Laden was dead? The French are jealous of America and Britain taking all the credit for the war on terror and this is their 15 minutes of fame! If the Americans cannot capture Osama bin Laden alive or dead, the French can fake it. If the death of Jordanian-born head of al-Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi did not stop the escalation of insurgency in Iraq since his successor Abu Ayyub al-Masri is as terrible as the Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, then the death of Osama bin Laden will not stop the resurgences of terrorist attacks. Because, the nucleus of Islamic terrorism is not the Al Qaida, but the ideology of Islamic Fundamentalism. Radical Islamization breeds terrorism and the fanatics of this erroneous and ambiguous ideology are legions and are always ready to be unleashed whenever the devil wants. Because they are psychos and schizos of their own false prophe...

I read RJ Eskow's critical article, Spiritual Niggers: Islam and the West and I have to comment on it and I have e-mailed my rejoinder to him. Dear Sir, I have just read your "Spiritual Niggers: Islam and the West" and the comments on the Huffington Post I have addressed the most critical issues on Islam and Christianity in my latest collection of poems Scarlet Tears of London . I am a Christian from a very strong Roman Catholic background in Nigeria and I have lived and worked for Muslims and sat with Imams to discuss their Koran and our Holy Bible. As Christians we must not have apologies or regrets whenever we preach against an evil or any religion that does not accept our Saviour Jesus Christ as the Messiah and Islam is antiChrist. Pope Benedict XVI does not owe any Muslim or Muslims any apology and you cannot threaten and intimidate him to apologize or regret his statement against the evils of Islam. You can also read my Satan in the Vatican in Scarlet Tears o...

"The emperor comes to speak about the issue of jihad, holy war," the pope said. "He said, I quote, 'Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.'" Washington Post, 15/09/2006 Is the Pope anti-evil or anti-Islam? Or is Islam not synonymous with evil? If they believe that the Pope is wrong, then let all of them condemn the Al Qaida and all their terrorist attacks on Americans, Europeans and other people all over the world. Muslims condemn all other religions and call non-Muslims infidels and they have never apologized to the victims of their Jihad of terrorism. So, why should the Pope apologize for saying the truth? Call a spade a forking spade! Finis.

President George W. Bush Beating About The Bush. NATO is in dire need of more troops . The US asked for 2,500 soldiers to increase the forces in Afghanistan and could only get 20 soldiers! Gosh! I don't blame those who are scared of going to fight the insurgents in Afghanistan. Because, the dangers in Afghanistan are worse than in Iraq. But, I can really help NATO. I have seen the worst battles in modern warfare during the Nigerian civil war. So, I have the experience. I can supply even 20,000 dare devils in 24 hours. Battle-tested and proven commandos who have fought and survived the bloodiest conflicts in the wars in Africa. NATO can contact me. I supply on demand. There are hundreds of thousands of trigger happy mad men in Canada who will be willing to go and commit suicide in Afghanistan than go on rampage on a college campus. So, an open demand for such lunatics would bring thousands of such made gunmen to NATO and I bet you that these paranoid lunatics would even smoke out O...

This is not the time for any political gimmick or Ground Zero rhetoric. We are tired of the political cliches of President George W.Bush on the war on terror. Because, there is nothing more to say that has not been said. And 9/11 has even become the scapegoat of the war in Iraq. And more innocent lives have been lost in the wrong place fighting the wrong war while Osama bin Laden and his lawless terrorists are busy playing hide and seek in the game of death with contempt for the Coalition Forces. The President that lied has not repented and continues to give excuses for his blunders. Bloody blunders costing more innocent lives everyday in the wrong war in Iraq. And GWB continues to waste the lives of innocent Americans in Iraq with impunity. It is a great pity that 9/11 has become the scapegoat of the misadministration of President George W.Bush in the prosecution of the war on terror. Who is fooling whom? I have nothing more to say. I light a candle for every soul of 9/11.

I thought the ignorant fools and morons were celebrating on the streets that they won the war? Then why are they begging Israel to lift the blockade of Lebanon? If you were victorious in war, would you still be at the mercy of your defeated enemy? If Hizbollah won the war, then they should have reopened the international airport and the seaport. But here they are groaning in pains over the aerial blockade until now that it has just been removed after the UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan begged Israel to have mercy on them. But the naval blockade will continue until Israel decides to end it. When you block the main gate of your enemy and keeps him imprisoned inside his home, so that he cannot even go fishing or travel out, then how can he claim that he defeated you in battle?

Dear Mazim Qumsiyeh, Does Israel have the right to co-exist with you Palestinians? If yes, I will recognize you and your cause. But if no, I will be against you and your cause. I believe in live and let me live in peace as God has given me the right to life and to live in peace with my fellow humans. I am against anyone who attacks and kills innocent people. Be you Jews or Arabs. God bless. ................... Dear Orikinla: I actually wrote a book on the subject. Perhaps you will take the time to read it. It is called Sharing the Land of Canaan . Sharing indeed is what Palestinains have always called for. The problem lies elsewhere: in an exclusivist ideology calling for apartheid. In the words of the Israeli artists declaration: "If the state of Israel aspires to perceive itself as a democracy, it should abandon once and for all, any legal and ideological foundation of religious, ethnic, and demographic discrimination. The state of Israel should strive to become the stat...

A rapacious ruling elite has reduced the people of the Niger Delta, and indeed 70 percent of the Nigerian population to a life of penury, surviving on less than one dollar a day, in spite of the wealth from oil. Consequently, the Niger Delta remains one of the most underdeveloped, poverty-ridden, and crisis-prone regions of Nigeria. ~~ The Editorial of The Guardian of Nigeria on "Niger Delta: The Sore of a Nation" on Monday August 28, 2006. If only President Olusegun Obasanjo would be reasonable enough to read this honest to God editorial on the Niger Delta crisis. We don’t have to write a long essay or dissertation to comprehend the genesis of the Niger Delta crisis. Because, in this very concise and precise analysis of the Niger Delta Crisis, The Guardian has said it all. .

When I look at the chaotic state of current affairs in the world and look at developed countries like Norway, Austria, Switzerland, Newfoundland and others of similar peaceful environment I wonder why we cannot emulate them. Because, the prevailing ignorance of the majority of Africans and Arabs have caused more havoc in the world than even the worst natural disasters in history. And we fool ourselves in our erroneous and ambiguous religious beliefs claiming to know the Almighty God, but the horrors of our own crimes and evils have shown that we don't believe in God. Because, if we truly believe in God, we should obey His commandment that we must love ourselves and not cheating, lying, exploiting, robbing, fighting and killing ourselves in our ungodly acts of greediness and wickedness. If you can pass on the above message to both the Sudanese government and rebels through their leaders you can reach, please do. Because, all we need is the common sense to see that fighting and killi...

IT IS impossible to vilify Islam without also vilifying Muslims, because the two are indistinguishable, the Victorian Court of Appeal was told yesterday. "If one vilifies Islam, one is by necessary consequence vilifying people who hold that religious belief," Brind Woinarski, QC, told the court. Mr Woinarski was appearing for the Islamic Council of Victoria in the appeal by Christian group Catch the Fire Ministries and pastors Danny Nalliah and Daniel Scot against a finding under Victoria's religious hatred law that they vilified Muslims in 2002. The Racial and Religious Tolerance Act defines vilification as inciting hatred, serious contempt, revulsion or severe ridicule against a person or class of persons. Cameron Macaulay, for the pastors, argued that the act explicitly confined the prohibition to vilifying persons, not the religion — otherwise it could operate as a law against blasphemy. Instead, it recognised one could hate the idea without hating the person. Justice...

What the UN has failed to achieve since 1948 to date, the 3 years old blogosphere has achieved in 3 weeks to propel the virtual momentum to accelerate the cause of peace in the Middle East as Israeli and Lebanese bloggers establish a common rapport in their virtual world. And the expanding blogosphere is fast changing the atmosphere of enmity between these two enemies. The Lebanese government forbids its citizens contact with Israelis. But keeping a lid on the Internet is a bit like trying to shovel sand with a sieve. And in the midst of war, scouring online for views from the other side has been one way for Lebanese and Israelis to alleviate the terrible sense of the impotence of standing by as their countries bled. Thousands of people, often posting in English, seem compelled to try to make some sense of the chaos -- or, through personal narratives, to help debunk stereotypes and misperceptions. Washington Post, 27/08/2006 Why should the UN watch as the Lebanese government forbids co...

I have just read online that the kidnapped Fox correspondents have just been freed after 'converting to Islam' in Gaza. The footage of them in captivity showed both men dressed in beige Arab-style robes, and the kidnappers claimed the journalists had converted to Islam. Washington Post, 27/08/2006 This is actually what all the Islamic terrorists are doing. They are holding the rest of the world hostage at gunpoint to convert to Islam or be killed. And the rest of the Islamic world are enjoying the whole Islamic madness and only pretend to sympathize with the unfortunate victims of Islamic terrorism. Fox News Senior Vice President John Moody said there were "high points and low points" in the ordeal, and that one of the lowest was the release of a second video at 3 a.m. Eastern time Sunday in which Centanni and Wiig said under duress that they had converted to Islam. Washington Post, 27/08/2006 So where do we go from here? To the Hajj?

First Hamas kidnapped an Israeli soldier and asked for the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israel in exchange. Then Hizbollah killed some Israeli soldiers and abducted two and demanded that Israel must release Hizbollah fighters in Israeli prisons in exchange. And now the Holy Jihad Brigades," kidnapped two Fox News Channel journalists (correspondent Steve Centanni, a 60-year-old American, and New Zealand cameraman Olaf Wiig, 36) in Gaza, also demanding that Muslims in American prisons must be released in exchange for their hostages. When will these lunatic fringe elements of Islam stop their madness? Until they no longer exist?

Reuters May I sympathize with all Russians who are now bereaved as all the 170 passengers on the Russian airliner of Flight 612 died as the plane crashed in flames today in Eastern Ukraine. The plane carried 161 passengers, including 45 children, and a crew of 10. There were no survivors, rescue personnel and airline officials said. Washington Post 08/22/2006 May the dead rest in peace and may the Almighty God Jehovah comfort all the bereaved families and the whole of Russia.

On Islamic Terrorism: In AD 624, The Prophet Muhammed announced the Jihad or holy war. “ I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite off their finger-tips off them...slay them wherever you find them…” Sunniya, I got a suicide note yesterday. It was from your brother Mustafa. He is going to blow himself up on Sunday. He mentioned somewhere in Gaza. But why? Oh, Sunniya! Don’t cry. Mustafa chose the way to go. The terrible deed has been done. And he is gone. As British Charge 11 Suspects in Airliner Plot , let me remind all the Islamic terrorists and their fellow Muslims that... God has not called us to be suicide bombers God has called us to be peacemakers. God has not called us to be messengers of death. God has called us to be messengers of life. God has not called us to be messengers of falsehood. God has called us to be messengers of truth. God has not called us to be messengers of hatred. God has called us to be messengers of love....

I have a better idea for making the rest of the world to turn their eyes away from the bloody madness in the Middle East and notice the genesis of a catastrophe in the Niger Delta of Nigeria. Let us kidnap Heidi Klum and parade her before the cameras of the CNN and Fox in only her skimpy bikini surrounded by sex-starved militants in the creeks of the Niger Delta. And of course, she would be safer in my arms than in the arms of the suicidal Islamic terrorists. Because, we don't behead hostages in the Niger Delta. In fact our hostages gain some extra pounds and grow new beard too. If we kidnap Heidi Klum, even the Washington Post will make us their cover story. Inhabitants of delta communities _ where many subsist on less than $2 a day despite the hundreds of billions of dollars generated by oil exploration in the region _ have repeatedly detained foreign workers to protest living conditions. Washington Post, 21/08/2006 The Washington Post has been hammering on the social, economic a...
