I am very happy for Jill Carroll and I thank God that her captors did not murder her as others have been murdered in Iraq. The less insane and more humane they become the better for humanity. Nobody has the right to kill, except in self defence. And the worst kind of murder is the diabolical murder of innocent women and children as we have been seeing in Iraq, Sudan and other killing fields. We must not be afraid to denounce all acts of Man's inhumanity to Man. Going on rampage to attack and murder innocent people who are looking for their daily means of survival will only worsen your predicament on earth. And after killing them, you go back to squat and bow down praying to which God? The true God who gave us the commandment of "THOU SHALL NOT KILL" or your false god that commands you to go on a killing spree of innocent children, women and men and to increase the population of orphans and widows in your own country Iraq or in Jordan and other countries where you have sen...

Now, can you see the difference between God and Satan is the difference between Us and Them? US: CHRISTIANITY Rahman told La Repubblica newspaper he was unrepentant. "I have done nothing to repent, I respect Afghan law as I respect Islam. But I chose to become a Christian, for myself, for my soul. It is not an offense." Italy has close ties with Afghanistan, whose former king, Mohammed Zahir Shah, was allowed to live in exile in Rome with his family for 30 years. The former royals returned to Kabul after the Taliban fell. Washington Post THEM: ISLAM, RACISM, TRIBALISM AND THE OTHER EVILS Under Islamic law, rejection of Islam is a grave offense, punishable by death if the convert does not repent. Afghanistan is a deeply traditional Muslim country where there are no publicly practicing Afghan Christians. Both proselytizing and conversion are viewed by most people as anathema. On Wednesday, 500 clerics gathered in a mosque in the southern city of Qalat to protest Rahman's re...

I just heard that the escaping fugitive Charles Taylor was caught trying to cross the border into Cameroun early in the morning. For the latest news, see the Washington Post

Charles Ghankay Taylor America should hold President Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria responsible for the disappearance of the wanted fugitive Charles Taylor of Liberia. And Washington should not let Obasanjo go until he reveals where his agents have hidden Charles Ghankay Taylor. Because, Charles Taylor has not been staying in a cosy luxury Government Villa in Nigeria for fun. His Nigerian partners in crime had their own shares in his Blood Diamonds .

ABDUL RASHMAN I thank God that the case against Abdul Rashman has been dismissed. But, the sooner he gets out of the land of bondage in Afghanistan the safer he would be. And all sane people all over the world must join hands now to help Rashman and others like him whose lives are in danger in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, China, Russia and elsewhere. The Muslim clerics in Afghanistan have called for Rashman to be killed. And the Muslim clerics already threatened to incite Afghans to kill Rahman if the government freed him. They said he clearly violated Islamic Shariah law by rejecting Islam. Rahman, meanwhile, said he was fully aware of his choice and was ready to die for it, according to an interview published Sunday in an Italian newspaper La Repubblica. "I am serene. I have full awareness of what I have chosen. If I must die, I will die," Abdul Rahman told the Rome daily, responding to questions sent to him via a human rights worker who visited him in prison. "Somebod...

Let me just tickle you a bit. The Russians warned Saddam Hussein and helped him to hide the Weapons of Mass destruction(WMD)before the invasion of Iraq. Now let me reveal some secrets to you on Baghdad and Iraq. Did you know that Abraham came from Iraq? The same ancestor of the Jews and Arabs? Did you know that the founder of the Hausas Abuyazidi or Bayajidda was the son of the King of Baghdad? Did you know also that Oduduwa the ancestor of the Yorubas was from Baghdad? The Ibos who claim that they are also Jews have only confirmed that they originated from Iraq. While you chew on the above, please meditate on the following. Bible Scripture: Proverbs 11:14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. The purpose of this scripture is to admonish governments and individuals to seek wise counsel before making decisions. Without counsel or without wise counsel the people fall. Notice the comment from Matthews Henry’s Commentary: Where no couns...

As millions of America wait for the results of an important study as Researchers Look at Prayer and Healing , millions of more Americans gasp as Wife Confesses in Pastor's Slaying . She shot her husband and as I blog this, no motive has been established. She was "the perfect mother, the perfect wife". So, perfect American wife shoots her husband to death in their bedroom. Please, let us pray for America.

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.

Abdul Rahman, an Afghan Muslim man who converted to Christianity is being threatened to be executed for the crime of rejecting Islam in Afghanistan. Because, it is a crime to reject Islam according to their Islamic Laws. Washington Post You wonder why they are all at war with anyone who is not a Muslim? Well, I have declared it before and let me declare it once again: Any religion that forbids Christianity is AntiChrist and such a religion is of the devil. God has given us the free will to choose. Religion is not by force. How can a religion that claims to be for peace condemn an innocent man to death, because he chose to become a Christian? Are these ceatures humans or demons?

Against the popular opinion of the voice of reason, President George W.Bush continues to tell the same American Lie on the American Project in Iraq. Because, what George W.Bush is looking for in Iraq is the vindication of his mistake in the invasion and occupation of Iraq. And such a vindication is like a cowboy looking for a needle in the haystack. Who is Dick Cheney to dismiss the critical analysis of Ayad Allawi, the former Iraqi prime minister? Allawi knows his country and the psyche of his people more than Washington and only an ignorant moron will query his assertions? "We are losing a day as an average 50 to 60 people throughout the country, if not more," Allawi said on BBC's "Sunday AM" program. "If this is not civil war, then God knows what civil war is." Washington Post The war in Iraq is the worst mistake America has ever made since Vietnam. Please, also see Naming the Enemy .

President George Walker. Bush is too ashamed to admit and accept that his mission impossible to Iraq is going to do more damage to America if America does not withdraw from Iraq. America cannot save Iraq, because America is not the God of Iraq. The Washington Post has an excellent report on the past, the present and the future of the war in Iraq. America should end the occupation of Iraq.

"Let me reiterate that, while we have sympathy for the legitimate aspirations for development of the people in the delta, and we already are, and will continue in the future, to be involved in assistance programs there, hostage-taking never, ever is justified," John Campbell, The U.S. ambassador in Nigeria. VOA What a smart Alec. Trying to talk the Niger Delta militants into giving up their grounds? "I will hope that, once we emerge from the current hostage crises, once those that are held hostage are released, assuming that no further hostages are taken, that we will be able to accelerate our assistance in that region." Campbell added in his typical American gunboat diplomatic White Lies. The United States of America has not done anything to help the people of the Niger Delta region in Nigeria. And we can never trust the White Lies of Washington. Let Shell pay the $1.5 Billion already ordered by the court for the long years of collateral damages to our environment ...

Why Iran Wants To Talk? Is that the question? Or why Iran is panicking over the emergence of a New Iraq as a force to reckon with and Iran is afraid of the future prospects of a New Iraq that is an American ally? And that is why Iran has been frustrating all the efforts of America in Iraq by supplying arms and more mercenaries to the insurgents? Iran does not want the American project to succeed in Iraq. In Iraq -- where American soldiers are dying from Iranian-supplied roadside bombs and sectarian violence by Iranian-supported militias is steadily mounting -- the Islamic regime has a tacit and sinister offer to make: More on the Washington Post

Whom the devil wants to destroy, he makes the person ignorant of reason. And deaf to warnings. The latest news on the horrifying and terrifying conflicts in Nigeria cannot be waved off in dismissal as another false alarm. Because, the dangers of another civil war erupting in Nigeria are clearly visible as a house on fire at noon. The goriest riots over the controversial Danish Cartoons of Prophet Muhammad occurred in Northern and Eastern Nigeria and over 180 people were killed, including innocent mothers and their children. Then, the daring militants on the prowl in the creeks of the Niger Delta have been holding the nation hostage. Because, Nigeria is actually the real hostage of these invincible militants who have killed over 20 Nigerian soldiers and policemen among other casualties. The foreign hostages are just their bargaining chips. Then, the agents of the kleptocratic ruling party are busy arresting and detaining those opposed to the Third Term bid of President Olusegun Obasanjo...

"Sudanese rally against UN Darfur plan" Declared the headline of the Aljazeera on Wednesday 08 March 2006 (16:50 Makka Time, 13:50 GMT)in a very comprehensive report on the threats of the Islamist movements to stop any foreign intervention in the civil war in Sudan. Already terrorist groups called the "Darfur Jihad Organization" and the "Blood Brigades" have emerged to threaten fire and brimstone against the deployment of the UN Peace Keeping Force. And as usual, they are accusing the US of trying to turn Sudan into another Iraq. The threats of Islamist groups are becoming the worst fears of the 21st Century. Because, their religious terrorism is now the weapon of Islamic tyranny. And I am afraid that if we allow this Islamic tyranny to continue, millions of non-Muslims in predominantly Islamic states will continue to be victimized and killed as the Islamic terrorists known as the Janjaweed guerillas have been doing in Darfur. And the emergence of the so c...

How A Christian Family Was Ambushed in Northern Nigeria Davou Bulle, his wife, and 10 children each climbed into the van, exhausted from another full day of work on their family’s farm. He started to pull away but was soon jarred to attention by the sound of gunshots hitting the tires. They were being ambushed! The Muslim attackers soon aimed their weapons at the driver, Davou in hopes to first kill the Christian “infidel” then kill his entire family. In an attempt to protect his father, son Gyan lunged at the bullets to shield his father, but the bullets found their way to their intended target, killing Davou. Gyan trying to help his father took 14 bullets during the ambush. Davou’s wife Mary was hit in the eye and the jaw. After the attack, the surviving children ran to the village to alert the police. Mary was taken into surgery immediately, removing two bullets from her eye and jaw. She lost one of her eyes as a result. Son Gyan was also operated on, removing all 14 bu...

U.S. Cast a Wide Net in Terror War? I disagree with the Washington Post report on the released documents of the Guantanamo Bay detainees. Because the truth is, the Pentagon and the CIA have only been fishing in the troubled waters of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq in the pursuit of the terrorists of the Al Qaida. And more intelligence reports from Africa have shown that the Al Qaida has cells in several countries in Africa where the US never bothered to search since 9/11 to date. The Pentagon and the CIA have not been able to understand the intelligentsia of the Al Qaida, whereas the Al Qaida seems to understand the ambiguous and erroneous intelligence network of the Pentagon and the CIA. That is why Osama bin Laden is still elusive till date. The US should look beyond the Midlle Eastern regions if they really want to catch up with the Al Qaida. Osama bin laden is a nomadic predator.

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) should kidnap Edmund Daukoru, the current President of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and make him eat his words for calling the threats of MEND "just talk" as reported on the Washington Post "We're not panicked," said Daukoru. What I hate most is the hypocritical posing and posturing of President Olusegun Obasanjo and his so called petroleum minister,Edmund Daukoru who are telling lies to the rest of the world on the critical situation in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria where we all know that the fear of MEND is not "just talk".

"Thomas Jefferson’s “vision of the world … remains relevant today and still constitutes the primary guiding principles for human development.” -- His Excellency, George A. Obiozor ambassador from the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the United States. Ambassador George A. Obiozor delivered the inaugural speech on Wednesday February 22, 2006, for the University of Virginia's new Ambassador Lecture Series. He spoke on critical issues of cooperation between the United States and Nigeria in peacekeeping efforts in Africa, the war on terrorism, drug and human trafficking, and trade and oil production.

I have been reviewing the genesis of the crisis befalling us as I was reading the Washington Post on the laudable and remarkable character of my people in the Niger Delta as our militant human rights activists freed six of their foreign hostages without beheading anyone of them and without any world premiere of their video on Al Jazeera or whatever they call their own "CNN". Why are we so humane and these racists and the terrorists in the West and East are so inhuman? Oh, God! Save us from these devils on rampage on earth. Africans now bear the pains of two great evils of Man's inhumanity to Man. Racism and Terrorism. Between the devil and the deep blue sea. Between the racist schizo and the terrorist psycho. And both of them are actually paranoid. From the Trans Sahara Slave Trade to the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, these two devils have tortured and murdered countless millions of Africans from the Gulf of Guinea to the River Nile. The reign of racism in their imperialis...

Our militants in the Niger Delta of Nigeria are not terrorists. They are well educated militant human rights activists who only kidnapped foreign oil workers in our communities to draw the attention of the rest of the ignorant Western world to the deplorable plight of the host communities of the Western oil companies operating in the Niger Delta of Nigeria. So, I am not surprised that they released the diabetic Texan hostage on his birthday as they also released the other four hostages on my birthday on January 30. President George W.Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair should have a chat with the Ijaw militants and the other hostages will be released in less than 24 hours. Take my cue.
