May I correct an erroneous impression contained in the report on an armchair survey as published in the Washington Post online with the following headline: Survey Details 'Deep' Divide Between Muslims, Westerners Nigeria is not a predominantly Muslim country. The population of Muslims in Nigeria is only 35%. Animists make up only 15% and the rest are Christians. Therefore Nigeria is more of a predominantly Christian country than a predominantly Muslim country. The Western media should not misinform the general public with such erroneous and ambiguous reports from armchair reporters. I have already written the conductors of the survey to correct their mistake on Nigeria. Nigeria is not a predominantly Muslim country and will never be one. Because, Nigeria is actually a predominantly Christian country .

The African-American community is facing a state of emergency. This emergency stems from the epidemic we all know as HIV/AIDS. Since it was first reported in the U.S. in 1981, at least 1.6 million people have been affected with HIV/AIDS, while more than 500,000 have died. African-Americans, who only comprise 13 percent of the nation's population, account for more HIV/AIDS diagnoses, people estimated to be living with AIDS, and HIV-related deaths than any other racial/ethnic group in the U.S. SEE THE WASHINGTON POST REPORT: D.C. Wants HIV Testing for All Residents 14 to 84 As we embarked upon the 25th anniversary of HIV/AIDS in the African-American community on June 5, 2006, NAACP President and CEO, Bruce S. Gordon joined with other leaders, activists, and celebrities from the African American community to announce the national Black AIDS mobilization and further solidify the Association's commitment to battling the disease. The NAACP advocates a multi-layered approach to eradic...

"freedom must come to Iran in any possible way, whether through internal or external developments."~ Hossein Khomeini Telegraph News The 47 years old grandson of the late Ayatollah Khomeini wants the US to overthrow the draconian rulers of Iran. This is an explosive declaration by an Iranian cleric and you have to read the rest of the report on the Telegraph News

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 so called Nigerian politicians don't know what is politics and from their so called political activities from the First Republic to date, even a moron can see that they are political vandals and vagabonds. Because, they have only bastardized politics. The Nigerian political parties don't have what can qualify as real political offices. They only have "open and close" political shops. They open them for elections and close them after elections. Now, with less than ten months to the Presidential elections, there are no real Presidential Candidates with any organised political campaign. No political educati...

I have to blog this exclusive news from the most popular and controversial Nigerian forum Nairaland . Just click on the titlle to watch the video. Hey Nairalanders! I got this, and thot i should share. Being a very generous person that I am!. Thanks to our Dear Seun, u can now enjoy it with me. just click on the link below. Watch The MP3 Video This a classic case of the robber getting robbed. Some advance fee fraudsters (419ers) thought they had a foolish victim [aka "mugu"] - a white guy who was a potential source for mega money. After several calls and correspondence, it was agreed that they meet in Scotland to finalise the deal. We all know in business there are incidental costs, and sometimes one has to spend money to make money. So at the white guy's request, our 419 friends sent the potential "mugu" some money to demonstrate good faith in the deal, and funds to purchase a ticket and hotel to meet them in Scotland . Plus, they also took a flight and booked ...

President Moi and US President Bush at the UN headquarters in New York on November 10, 2001. 22nd May 2006 MOI SHOULD BE IN PRISON, NOT PLAYING DIRTY POLITICS OF DIVIDE AND RULE “KESDEMO believes that Moi should be tried in a court of law because there is massive evidence that could sustain a case against him so that he can spend the rest of his life in prison instead of loitering around Kenya delivering bogus political summons after running down the country during his 24 years reign of unmitigated terror” The Kenya Scandinavia Democratic Movement (KESDEMO) is deeply concerned that former Dictator Daniel arap Moi, a ruthless man who converted Kenya into a one Party dictatorship thereby triggering the 1982 coup, murdered thousands of innocent Kenyans in cold blood, looted billions of tax payer's money through corruption, promoted tribalism, encouraged nepotism, cemented inter-ethnic hatred, instigated bloody ethnic cleansing during the 90s for his political survival, massacred thous...

Afrobarometer, a nonprofit polling project reports that: Sixty-one percent of Africans surveyed said they regard democracy as preferable to other political systems. But the pollsters found that flaws in many democracies across the continent have undermined support for the concept. Washington Post Democracy has been hijacked by kleptocrats and plutocrats in Africa. The obvious truth is the fact that most of the African rulers from Nigeria to Egypt have not been faithful to the tenets of democracy in the governance of their countries. But majority of the citizens want democracy to succeed. And we should begin the breeding and training of democratic leaders from the grassroots. The Nigerian government is a quasi-democracy controlled by plutocrats and kleptocrats. Nigeria is best described as a corrupt plutocracy:"A system of government whereby wealth and the benefits that wealth accrues lead to a concentration of power in the hands of those with disproportionate access to financial ...

Niger Delta Militants "How much lying to yourself are you actually capable of?" -- Howard Roark in The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand. Right now the militant revolutionary groups in the Niger Delta have united to launch more attacks on the Multinational oil companies. And they buy their arms with money from illegal oil bunkering and funds provided by their sponsors who are all stakeholders and shareholders in the illegal oil bunkering business. But the Multinational oil companies and the Nigerian Government are not ignorant of the principal crooks and rogues engaged in illegal oil bunkering in Nigeria. They are all partners in crime. If Shell refuses to pay us the ordianry $1.5 Billion the courts have ordered Shell to pay into the coffers of the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN), then Shell and the other multinational oil companies should prepare for the worst case scenario in the Niger Delta region. Shell Corporation knows how to extract oil without causing pollution, but chooses not ...

The Cellphone Gun is nothing new. But I decided to blog this, because I know that most Nigerians are ignorant of it and we must beware of it showing up in Nigeria. And our security agencies have been ignorant of it. They have not been looking out for cellphone guns. The Nigerian Police should be on the look out for these Cellphone Guns! At first sight it looks like a regular cell phone — same size, same shape, same overall appearance.But beneath the digital face lies a .22-caliber pistol, a phone gun capable of firing four rounds in quick succession with a touch of the otherwise standard keypad. The US Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are aware of the device and have instructed baggage screeners to be on the lookout for suspicious mobile phones. This is especially after 9/11. European law enforcement officials — stunned by the discovery of these deadly decoys — say phone guns are changing the rules of engagement in Europe.Airport authorities across Europe are implementing sy...

ALHAJI ATIKU ABUABAKAR, the Vice President who has opposed the Third Term Bid of President Olusegun Obasanjo. Why? Because, Atiku wants to succeed Obasanjo. Perhaps, you expect me to join in the public jubilation in Nigeria over the rejection of the Third Term by the National Assembly? And clap my hands to applaud the honourable representatives and senators in Nigeria for defending democracy? But, I am not fooled by the ambiguous and erroneous politics in Nigeria. Because, I want the so called Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to continue with the probe of the allegations of bribery and corruption among the legislators as they were cajoled and tempted in cash and kind by the two opposing camps of the sponsors of the Third Term Constitution Amendment Bill and those against the bill. He also said the decision by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to probe allegations of graft in the third term project was welcome, but added "I hope the probe is genui...

Yes. The future of my beloved country Nigeria is greater than the selfish ambition of any greedy politician in uniform or civilian fatigues. They will come and go. But Nigeria will survive. Look at the above picture of oil pipelines passing infront of the houses of the poor villagers in the Niger Delta of Nigeria and tell me if the government and the multinational oil companies in Nigeria are not guilty of exposing the people to constant danger of pipeline explosions?

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has approved the military's most ambitious plan yet to fight terrorism around the world and retaliate more rapidly and decisively in the case of another major terrorist attack on the United States, according to defense officials. Washington Post Rumsfeld does not have the brains to win this war. Any dummy can come up with the best blue-prints for winning a war. But wars are won by those with brains and not muscles. The tactical blunders of Rumsfeld in Iraq are enough to earn him a sack. To dismiss him. Rumsfeld is only trying to save his job and save himself from being disgraced out of office. Rumsfeld has failed woefully so far. And should be sacked. Change their colors, use them mixed in with your own. Treat the soldiers well, take care of them. This is called overcoming the opponent and increasing your strength to boot. So the important thing in a military operation is victory, not persistence. Hence, we know that the leader of the army is in...

Abdul Rauf It is true, I criticized the Taliban because they were so harsh and tortured people," Rauf said. "But if you leave Islam, our law says you must be killed. If Abdul Rahman stood before me right now, I would kill him myself. Washington Post But, Democracy will never allow Abdul Rauf to kill Abdul Rashman. Because, Democracy and Islam are opposites. Why are Afghans' Uneasy Peace With Democracy? Afghans are uneasy over democracy, because to majority of the ignorant millions of Muslims, Democracy is an American Creed that is contrary to their own Islamic Creed. Moreover, Democracy is the Christian Crusaders' ideology that is being used to attack and destroy their own religion and ideology. Because, Islam is both a religion and an ideology to all the Muslims and to accept the Western religion and ideology is to reject their own Islam. They have seen Democracy as the American weapon or an American demon being unleashed against them. Therefore, they won't accep...

Last year, I posted many commentaries on the collapse of democracy and governance in Nigeria and since then, things have gone from bad to worse. And the President Of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo refuses to learn his lessons from the tragic mistakes of the past. But as I warned in "Before The Cookie Crumbles", the days of reckoning are upon the evil doers and as the Holy Bible said, "There is no rest for the wicked". The cookie is crumbling in Nigeria. The die is cast. Washington Post Headlines on Nigeria: Nigerian oil delta militants bomb barracks, kill 2 Nigeria Split Over Proposal on Term Limits Fell for That Nigerian E-Mail Scam? See Him

The critical state of politics in Nigeria is not news to me. Because, everything going on has been predicted since last year when I warned that when the cookie crumbles, the rest of the world will know the truth about the kleptocrats in power in Nigeria. And as you all can see that they have now gone round the bend in their power struggle. And the crooks and rogues want to drag the masses along with them into their war. The millions of the fools and morons in Nigeria are already being deceived by the leadership of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). Those who refuse to accept the truth will perish. The road to hell, they say, is beautifully paved and the flowers are so well trimmed as to lure the unsuspecting innocent into the abyss of agony. The festering third term issue which has generated an avalanche of epiphany and hullabaloo among the good people of Nigeria, going by the manner it is being peddled with contrivance throughout the length and breadth of Nigeria, could b...
