The Blackmailing Of The Igbo (old Eastern region) And The Corruption Of The Nigeria Army In Africa


The Nigerian armed forces: Are they responsible for the Nigeria's present economic crisis?


The Nigerian army: Are they responsible for Nigeria's present economic crisis?


By ERIC ONYEBUCHI



Since the first coup of 1966 occur, Nigeria government tagged it that it was a coup carried out by Igbo (old Eastern region) without knowing that the government is lying to the public and the entire world base on the  Hausa/Fulani (Northern Region) and British people (colonial masters) decided to deceive people so that the entire world will not denote their evil act on Igbo. (Old Eastern region).

This was planned to deny the old Easterners from having access to full government activities because the colonial masters looked at the Easterners as wise people who would not allow them to spread their corruption to Nigeria.


The white men look at the Igbo as people who are naturally gifted to hard work, both in the brain and natural power; therefore, they decided to amalgamate Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo so that they can extract the mineral resources from the Eastern region for their own development of their areas. 

The amalgamation of  Nigeria took place in 1914 when Lord Lugard. Before the amalgamation of Nigeria for the benefit of the British ( the white ) before amalgamation, there was coal discovered in Enugu old Eastern region, which was the main aim of amalgamation. Before the discovery of crude oil, also in the old Eastern region?

The colonial master used Hausa to destabilize Nigeria. They know that Hausa is easier to control and have milked the brain through giving power to the Hausa in the Northern region in 1960, because they can easily use them to work against the Igbo, and also penetrate Africa. 

The 1966 coup was carried out by entire Nigeria people, not Igbo the Eastern region alone but the Hausa/Fulani via the help the colonial master ( the white ) team up and said the coup was carried out by Igbo the old Eastern region alone for the people not to know the truth so that Hause people will be in government for many generation unborn and Africa both others will look at Igbo as treat to them.

Also, it is a secret behind the Nigeria–Biafra civil war, which the British wanted to wipe the Igbo, the Eastern region, away, but man is not God. This is the list of names of those behind the coup, so that you can find out whether it was the Igbo affair or not. They are as follows: Let the truth be told. The People involved in that so-called 1966 “Igbo coup” were:

Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu (South-South Region Igbo), Niger Delta.
2. Major Adewale Ademoyega (Western Region – Yoruba), author of “Why we struck”

3. Capt. G. Adeleke (Western Region – Yoruba).4. Maj. Ifeajuna (South-South Region – Igbo)

5. Lt. Fola Oyewole (Western Region – Yoruba), author of “The Reluctant Rebel”.

6. Lt. R. Egbiko (South-South Region – Ishan).

7. Lt. Tijani Katsina (Northern Region – Hausa/Fulani).

8. Lt. O. Olafemiyan (Western Region – Yoruba).

9. Capt. Gibson Jalo (Northern Region – Bachama).
  1. 10. Capt. Swanton (Northern Region – Middle Belt).
    11. Lt. Hope Harris Eghagha (South-South – Urhobo)
    12. Lt. Dag Warribor (South-South – Ijaw)
    13. 2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo (Northern Nigeria -Hausa)
    14.
    2nd Lt. John Atom Kpera (Northern Nigeria-Tiv).

The reason for calling the 1966 Coup an Igbo exercise is that subsequent governments of Nigeria have refused to teach Nigerian History in our schools. And the core North has been busy misinforming Nigerians that the 1966 coup was an Igbo coup. Yoruba – Igbo fact sheet. This article has no tribal sentiments. Please add your own facts if you have any. History will always tell us what happened.

1. Azikiwe defeated Awolowo to become the first Nigerian Premier of Western Nigeria (present Southwest plus Edo and the Delta States). Awolowo, instead of forming Opposition rather formed Egbe Omo Yoruba and used it to intimidate Yorubas who won the election on the NCNC platform to cross carpet and join him against Azikiwe. This was the first parliamentary coup in Nigeria. 

2.  Awolowo, from then on, started indoctrination of Yorubas against the “threat of Igbo domination”. That is how the incurable seed of fear of the Igbos was shown in the psyche of Yorubas, which Yorubas later sold to other groups through Yoruba control of the media for decades.

3. Alhaji Tafawa Balewa, Nigeria‘s first Prime Minister, could not tolerate Awolowo’s treacherous and inordinate ambition of acquiring political power by all means and at any cost. So, he threw Awolowo into prison for treason.

 4. Samuel Ladoke Akintola, who replaced Awolowo as Premier of Western Nigeria, tried to destroy Awolowo’s political grip on Yorubaland by forming a party to take over Western Nigeria in alliance with the Hausa-Fulani oligarchy, whom Awolowo despised as a backward race.

 Consequently, Yorubaland went ablaze in revolt against Akintola’s plot. Law and order completely broke down in Western Nigeria. Wole Soyinka wore a mask and forced announcers at Western Nigeria Broadcasting Corporation to declare that Akintola’s government was a fraud.

 5. Yet, Tafawa Balewa refused to declare a state of emergency in Western Nigeria to keep Akintola as a proxy for Hausa-Fulani interests. This was the MAIN reason Yoruba graduates in the Army were the brains behind the coup d'état led by Chukwuma Nzeogwu, who happened to be Igbo.

 6. As Wole Soyinka and even Obasanjo acknowledged, Nzeogwu ‘s coup was widely accepted by a vast majority of Nigerians across regional, religious, and ethnic divides.

 7. But the dissatisfied Hausa-Fulani oligarchy, who had the majority in the Nigerian Army infantry, used their puppets, Yakubu Gowon, Theophilus Danjuma, and others to overthrow General Ironsi. 

8. To win the support of the Yorubas, Gowon released Awolowo from prison. The Hausa-Fulani knew Awolowo’s fear of the Igbo as the only group that stood against his ambition for power. Gowon, therefore, quickly made a deal with Awolowo, which in effect was that power would rotate between the North and the West (Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba) in the post-war

9.      Nigeria, if Awolowo convinced the Yorubas to join the North in fighting the Igbos.

11. The Nigerian Army was consequently split into two divisions: the northern sector division commanded by Hausa-Fulani and the southern sector division commanded by Yorubas.

12. Lagos, a city built largely by Igbos and where Igbos invested heavily, was also ceded to Yorubas as a State even when there was no Abuja at the time (1967).


13. Awolowo was made Vice-Chairman of the Federal Executive Council and Finance Minister. All federal government-owned banks in Nigeria at the time, which included the Central Bank and First Bank, were under Awolowo and Yoruba management. It was a deal Awolowo could not resist. The man was an unscrupulous Machiavellian, anyway.

14. The Igbos were eventually defeated, and the Yorubas became champions of nationalism.

15. Awolowo tried to make sure no Igbo man or woman would ever be more than financially destitute, let alone have the financial resources to rival a Yoruba

16. To achieve his objective of permanent Yoruba supremacy, Awolowo insisted that every bank account owned by an Igbo, regardless of how much was in it before the declaration of Biafra, would only be replaced with twenty pounds! 

He instructed Yoruba Permanent Secretaries who took over the Federal Civil Service when Igbos left, to make sure that Igbo senior civil servants were not reinstated, but rather to retire those who could not be dismissed as rebels. The same policy was obtained in the Armed Forces of Nigeria and the Police.

17. The Igbo were not only made pariahs but also financially destitute.

18. Every house and industry in Igbo cities was destroyed by war. Schools were closed for 3 years, and many were razed to the ground.

19 Awolowo masterminded the indigenization policy by which Yorubas bought overall foreign companies in Nigeria using money readily made available to them by the banks under their control. The Igbos were excluded.

20. They rejoiced and relaxed and complaisantly asked: “How could Igbos ever rear their ugly heads up again”? Sure, if that had happened to Yorubas or any other ethnic group, that would be their end. But as Awolowo rightly feared, we happen to be Ndi Igbo.


21. The shooting war ended 45 years ago, and we are still here. We have survived all policy shenanigans, contracts by treacherous Yorubamasterminds and executed by their Hausa-Fulani allies.


22. In frustration, they have realized that we are who we are. Imagine their frustration! Never mind all the Yoruba masterminded psychological attacks on Igbos, disparaging us in any way they could.

23. Yes, Federal government policy has made them the tycoons of oil and gas, telecommunications, insurance, and manufacturing. Oh, their Hausa-Fulani cum military allies gave Nigeria to Obasanjo for 8 years in keeping faith with their alliance.


24. Bola Tinubu is struggling for Awolowo's mantle by allying with the religious jingoistic to ensure power keeps rotating between Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani. So, where is the position of the Igbo and other tribes in Nigeria? 

What is your sincere opinion? Now, updated Igbo are not allowed into top-ranking offices in the Nigerian army forces, police, air force, customs, immigration, and many others.

Nigeria is corrupt from the foundation and cannot give birth to sincerity in Africa. It is good for the best to be the best, to stop corruption, which is an incurable disease. Africa must rise and say no to any form of corruption.

UNBORN COUNTRY IN AFRICA

The sad image of the state of malnourished children during the Biafran War in Nigeria

The sad image of the state of malnourished children during the Biafran War in Nigeria



BY ERIC ONYEBUCHI


I like to begin this article by saying that I am not a card-carrying member of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and do not belong to any freedom fighter group in Nigeria – even though I admire their efforts. 


I’m still a Nigerian citizen, however, I am very proud to say that I’m a Biafran because I was born in the Biafra Republic and will remain a Biafran no matter what citizenship I hold currently.

Having said that, I must state that the on-going agitation for Biafra nation by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and other Biafra groups is not a quest for equity or justice but a clear and sincere call for freedom and liberation from the Hausa-Fulani Sokoto Caliphate agenda to enslave and Islamize the former Eastern region of Nigeria.

Biafra agitation is not even a call to restructure Nigeria which, of course is urgently needed as many wise and eminent citizens have voiced out. Still, the agitation is a genuine and urgent call to liberate the former Eastern region from systemic marginalization, suffocating economic exploitation and political oppression against them by the Hausa-Fulani caliphate, Yoruba oligarchy and Igbo sellouts, saboteurs, and puppets. 

Therefore, the agitation for Biafra nation is a sincere call for separation—to liberate a godly people and free a nation of Biafra from Islamic Nigeria. Today, the Gospel and message of Biafra being strongly preached by IPOB leadership through Radio Biafra and several Biafra media outlets including Biafra TV as well as IPOB protests across the world have rekindled the aspiration and hope of millions of Biafrans who are scattered worldwide.

In fact, the “Sit-At-Home” protest ordered by IPOB leadership on September 23, 2016, was hugely obeyed by all Biafrans across SE/SS region. The strategy was impactful and consequential. Everything from market shops, stores, schools, banks, etc., was shut down that day. Most of the SE/SS region was deserted. The ‘Sit-At-Home” protest was clear evidence that the Biafra nation is here and that Nigeria will never be the same again.

It must also be noted that it is ironic that IPOB leader and director of radio Biafra, Mr. Nanmdi Kanu has been in detention at Kuje prison since October 14, 2015, for asking for freedom of Biafrans from oppression. The IPOB leadership and their millions of members are doing what other freedom fighters and groups have done throughout history. Many northern leaders have said and done worse things.

And so, the continued detention of Mr. Nnamdi Kanu and clamp down, arrests, maiming and barbaric massacre of unarmed peaceful protesting Biafra youths by the Nigerian military personnel have amplified the message of the systemic marginalization and satanic oppression of the Biafrans in Nigeria. Despite these atrocities, they are not deterred. This informs me that IPOB is a serious movement led by courageous leaders and committed followers.

Throughout history, great movements have been propelled by the charisma of their leaders and the commitment of their followers. Additionally, great movements are known for what they stand for—their articulated goals, ideals, aspiration, and purpose. For a little over a year, I have been studying IPOB and those who lead it and I can say without hesitation and fear that IPOB is a great movement and it is led by courageous men and women.

Time will come when history will properly write about IPOB and its leadership. But for now, I want to focus on the clear purpose of IPOB, and that is to liberate Biafrans and Biafra land from the satanic agenda of the Hausa-Fulani caliphate to enslave. Islamize entire Nigeria comprising the Eastern region of Southeast and so-called South-south regions.

The Islamisation agenda of President Muhammad Buhari is no longer a secret to millions of Nigerians now—his lopsided appointment, relocation of military headquarters to his State, the unleashing of EFCC, DSS, Boko haram, Fulani herdsmen, Army and other military squads that terrorize, arrest, maim that imprison his political opponents and massacre his enemies and unarmed peaceful Biafran youth protesters is unprecedented in Nigeria.

Furthermore, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB leadership are exercising their constitutional rights of freedom of speech and peaceful assembly.

The agitation for Biafra independence fulfills the requirements of the United Nations Charter General Assembly Resolution of September 2007—articles 1 and 2, and article 20 of the African Charter on human rights recognizing and supporting the rights of all ethnic nations and peoples have the unquestionable and inalienable rights to self-determination of which Nigeria is a signatory to.

According to United Nations Charter General Assembly Resolution (A/61/295) of September 2007: “Self-determination” is the principle and practice whereby a nation, for example, an ethnic nation is in control of its own people, its own land, its own resources, and its own governance, independent of any other subtending political structure. “

Additionally, constitutional freedoms of speech and expression as enshrined in the Nigerian law, do not forbid anyone from canvassing peaceful self-government which in any event is legally permissible under diverse international humanitarian laws including the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Universal Declaration of Human rights (UDHR) which Nigeria as a United Nations member signed on to.

So, I do not understand why President Buhari and his supporters are not aware of all these documents but continue to unleash such relentless, ruthless and unspeakable brutality on IPOB members seeking self-determination for Biafran people and region. 

President Buhari himself knows this quite well because he has stood at the United Nations and pleaded for a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine as well as spoken out for an Islamic region known as Western Sahara, a disputed territory in the Maghreb region of North Africa, bordered by Morocco to the north, Algeria to the northeast, Mauritania to the east to be an independent nation.

So why this sort of hypocrisy in Nigeria? Why do President Mohammadu Buhari and his northern caliphate want Biafra people—mostly Christians to remain in Islamic Nigeria only to be butchered and massacred at will? Why does Nigeria need Biafran people by the way?

The President’s dictatorial and fascist tendencies, his imperial, fanatic and tribal leadership have sharply divided Nigeria. His disdain and condescension toward Igbos, his assault on the legislative and recently on the judiciary shows his cowardice and incompetence in governing a democratic Nigeria. I wonder if the President still remembers that Nigeria is no longer in a military regime but has transitioned to the democratic system of governance since 1999.

The President’s leadership failure as his wife—Mrs. Aisha Buhari correctly made us understand recently during her interview with BBC Hausa Voice, coupled with the President’s unguarded response and comments, unwise actions, his lack of communication skills and presidential etiquette have been a complete disgrace.

It is really a shame that Nigerians—led by SW and crony Bola Tinubu and jihadist north elected a man who lacks the capacity to lead a democratic Nigeria in the 21st century. And to read from the President’s puppets who defend his dictatorship, impunity, tyranny and fascist government in this 21st-century world is very disturbing and disgraceful. Nigeria is a failed state and an absolute global disgrace.

Here are the seven factors fueling the current Biafra agitation for separation and freedom from Nigeria.  I’ll share only three factors in this part one and give you the remaining four factors in part two of the essay next week.

Flawed foundation:

According to my study and research, no crime in the history of human history equals the cobbling of variant groups of people with vast differences in one country without any set of parameters and value systems that give them true identity of their new nation.

This is the case of Nigeria and most of sub-Sahara Africa. But Nigeria is the worst-case scenario in human history, Rwanda, Congo, Uganda, Kenya, and many other Africa commonwealth do have similar problems but more of tribal superiority and not radical Islamic religious fanaticism like Nigeria.

Colonization of Africa is an indescribable rape and destruction of the mother continent. British colonization is the worst crime against humanity. No atrocity in human history equals it. 

Nigeria has become simply a den of death, of sorrow, sadness, pain, suffering, and hopelessness – a lawless and failed nation Nigeria is a corrupt and failed experiment. Earlier this year, the former British Prime Minister, David Cameron called Afghanistan and Nigeria ‘fantastically corrupt’ nations. 

But I’ll go further to state that Nigeria is not only fantastically corrupt but uncontrollably lawless and rudely barbaric. And so it baffles why the former and evil British Empire continues to support and back Nigeria’s “status quo.”

Today, Britons have peacefully conducted a referendum to exit the European Union (EU)—the so-called BREXIT, but will not support Biafra do the same in Nigeria. What hypocrisy! I think it is time for Britain and global powers to do the needful to reorganize, restructure and dismantle this continent of blood and death called Africa starting with Nigeria.

This is the primary reason fueling the current Biafra agitation for freedom and separation from Nigeria.

Ethnic hatred, envy, jealousy, tribalism, and injustice:

There is enormous hatred toward Igbos and Biafrans in Nigeria. Before the coming of the British colonial empire, all Biafran people lived in peace and harmony with their neighbors and traded with them without conflict and violence. But after the conquest and colonization of the variant groups in present-day Nigeria by British imperialists, each ethnic group began to hate each other.

One major reason for this hatred is the social, linguistics, religious and common ancestral heritage that Biafrans have with Jews. It is believed that the two sons of Gad— Eri and Arodi are said to have fathered clans, established kingdoms and founded towns still in existence in Biafra land today.

Secondly, Biafrans like the Jews are very intelligent, innovative, hardworking, enterprising, and prosperous people.
Thirdly, the Igbos are called the ‘Nyamiri’ in the North, which means ‘money lover.’ And so, the Igbos are viewed as a people with unbridled lust and love for money.

Fourthly, the Igbos are enterprising and adapting. They migrated and lived in the North, SW and across the width and breadth of Nigeria and prospered as entrepreneurs. Because of these four factors among others, Biafrans are hated by Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba tribes of Nigeria.

Ethnic hatred and tribalism led to state injustice against Biafra. And so, Nigeria, despite her enormous human capital and abundant natural resources—a nation with so much promise of prosperity and greatness is today a failed State because of ethnic hatred, tribalism, and injustice. 

Today, the State sponsors ethnic and religious massacre using Boko haram, Fulani herdsmen, and military as well as politically motivated killings. This is another major reason Biafrans want to restore their nation.

The rise of state-sponsored jihadism and killings of Christians in Nigeria:

Radical Islamic terrorism and jihadism are another critical reason why Biafra wants to separate from Nigeria. State sponsor of terrorism is a serious threat to the security, prosperity, and unity of Nigeria. There is an awful level of religious ignorance and intolerance, which breeds violence and killings. Since the 1930’s, religious violence and ethnic killings have escalated in Northern Nigeria against Biafrans. 

Religious killings have decimated more Christians in Northern Nigeria in the last 50 years than hunger, disease, accidents and even wars combined together. Since, the 1940s, pogroms have been committed against the Igbo in the North. In 1945, Igbos were massacred in the city of Jos. In 1954, there was another massacre of Igbos in the city of Kano and in 1966 there was a prolonged series of pogroms. 

The 1960’s political crisis, tribal and religious killings led to an unforgettable genocidal civil war of 1967-70 in which more than three million Biafra lives were wasted. That bitter civil war left an unforgettable anger, bitterness, and hatred among the peoples of Nigeria. 

Even the end of the war slogan “No Victor No Vanquished” could not bury the tumultuous and fractured history of a people that had been traumatized and to live peacefully and to trust each other until today. Until today, Igbos are being massacred all over Nigeria without any arrest or punishment of the perpetrators of such heinous and barbaric massacres. 

Since 1999, we have seen the rapid rise of radical Islamic violence and authoritarian corrupt political leadership. There is growing religious intolerance and conflict, ethnic bias and strife, the rise of Islamic fundamentalism especially in the northern part of the country, where jihadist sects like Boko haram, a group that detests Western education and social norms, are bombing businesses, Churches, Temples, and Police stations killing people at random. The sect is also agitating for the Sharia Republic in the north.

Many sections of the country are currently under siege by Boko-haram and Fulani herdsmen—armed with AK-47, sharp knives, bows & arrows among other assault weapons—openly raping young girls, married women, killing and massacring local farmers including the recent massacres of unarmed Biafra youths by Nigerian DSS, Army, and Police in several Southeast and South-south cities.

It is unfathomable that this sort of barbarism is happening in Nigeria in the 21st century when nations are seeking ways to tap into the limitless opportunities for development and progress, Nigerian illiterate and murderous cattle rearers are busy massacring the future Biafran engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, etc., – the future leaders of Africa and the world.

Instead of the Nigerian military forces—Army, Police, and DSS to clamp down on jihadist Boko harm and murderous Fulani herdsmen—who are carrying out mayhem and heinous crime against Biafrans in Nigeria, the military forces are rather aiding and protecting Fulani herdsmen murderers.

And no one is perturbed about these barbaric and senseless killings. Due to poverty, suffering, selfishness, and hopelessness, Nigeria does not have men and women with common sense, civility, and compassion any longer. 

We have become a coward citizenry, lawless, hopeless, uncivilized, debased, and degenerate society.
Nigeria’s erudite scholar and top diplomat, Dr. Joseph Garba, captured it in his masterpiece book “Fractured History,” when he said:

“We (Nigeria) have degenerated into a nation of lawlessness and hopelessness; making an unprecedented turnaround; going from a nation of hope, strength, abundance, economic prosperity and high aspirations to a nation which has become the embodiment of a degenerate society’”.

Millions of citizens have lost hope in the Nigerian project. And we, in the Eastern region have had enough and want to be freed from the systemic marginalization, economic exploitation, political oppression, extreme poverty, senseless massacres, and most importantly the satanic agenda to make Nigeria an Islamic State by Sokoto Caliphate sponsored by Saudi Arabia and other radical Islamic Arab nations.

All this calls for the reason why eminent Igbo leaders have expressed their support for the growing demand for regional autonomy to facilitate Nigeria’s economic and political development.

They asserted that the time had come for the Federal Government to recognize the inalienable rights of the constituent regions of Nigeria to self-determination and regional autonomy as contained in the 1960 Independence Constitution and 1963 Republican Constitution.

At a press conference to mark the end of the well-attended World Igbo Summit at the Goodluck Jonathan Auditorium, Gregory University, Uturu, Abia State, Igbo leaders also demanded the release of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu.

Their views were contained in a communique signed by the Chairman of the Summit, Senator Ike Nwachukwu, former Old Anambra State Governor, Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Col. Joe Achuzia (RTD), Chief Francis Ojih, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, Prof George Obiozor, Dr. Greg Ike Ibe, Iyom Josephine Anenih and Dr. Joe Nwaogu.

The southeast leaders called for a repeal of the 1999 Constitution.
They said that a new constitution for the country was long overdue.
The Summit noted that since the Biafran agitators are not a threat to national security, the Federal Government should promptly release their leader (Kanu) and all other prisoners of conscience in line with the rule of law.

The Summit, which took place at the Gregory University Uturu, Abia State, between October 27 and October 30, 2016, brought together the great minds of Ala Igbo to dialogue and design a strategic roadmap for growth and development for the South East.

Even on what appears a further marginalization of the southeast zone, the Federal Government has left out the region in projects which President Muhammadu Buhari plans to execute with the proposed $29.960 billion infrastructure loan.

A breakdown of how the loan would be spent on infrastructure between 2016 and 2018 shows that none of the projects contained in the government’s document is located in the southeast geo-political zone.

President Buhari had on Tuesday asked the Senate to approve the loan from multilateral financial institutions to enable his administration to execute critical infrastructure and other social intervention initiatives across the country. The Finance Ministry said the $29.960 billion loans are designed to address infrastructure deficit in the country.

But in a statement released to journalists on Thursday on the projects to be funded by the loan, there was no single infrastructural project allocated to the southeast – an area most acutely hit by poor infrastructure and an acute shortage of various social amenities.

According to the statement, issued by the Special Assistant to the Minister of Finance on Media, Mr. Festus Akanbi, infrastructural projects are allocated $18.3 billion. 

The projects to be embarked upon are the Mambilla Hydro Electric Power Project ($4.8 billion), the Modernisation Coastal Railway Project (Calabar-Port Harcourt-Onne Deep Sea Port Segment) valued at $3.5 billion and the Abuja Mass Transit Rail Project (Phase 2) put at $1.6 billion.

Others are the Lagos-Kano Railway Modernization Project (Lagos-Ibadan Segment Double Track) estimated at $1.3 billion and the Lagos-Kano Railway Modernization Project (Kano-Kaduna Segment Double Track) valued at $1.1 billion.

The balance of $11 billion will be expended on Eurobond ($4.5 billion), Federal Government Budget Support ($3.5 billion), Social Support for Education and Health ($2.2 billion), Agriculture ($1.2 billion), and Economic Management and Statistics ($.2 billion).

According to the statement, the borrowing has a three-year plan covering proposed projects for 2016-2018 and is expected to be phased over the three year period.

The ministry said that the borrowings are highly concessional (non-commercial), with low-interest rates and long tenors. The Federal Government affirmed that the funding is being sought from multilateral institutions such as the World Bank, the Africa Development Bank (AfDB), the Islamic Development Bank (IDB), Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA) and the China Exim Bank.

The planned Eurobond issuance in the international capital markets, the statement pointed out, is the only commercial source of funding. But when The AUTHORITY contacted Akanbi on the apparent omission of the South East on the project allocation, he said that the loan has nothing to do with regional consideration. He said that the government would still reflect all the regions in the 2017 Budget.

Akanbi said: “I don’t have an answer to your question. This is just a Federal Government thing that was presented today. It’s not a regional thing. There are other projects like agriculture. 

“These are strategic things just like the intervention for three years’ program. That does not stop the Federal Government from planning for all the regions next year and in the 2018 budget. It’s just for support. It’s not the main thing, just an ad-hoc initiative.

“The government is going to sit down and work on the 2017 budget and all the regions will be covered. It has nothing to do with regions. These are specific projects on the ground”. Now I ask the Africa region and world power to do justice to the people of the old Eastern region for fairness and peace to reign.

WHY IS POLITICS ALWAYS A DIRTY GAME?


Donald Trump: Would he survive to be America’s next president after sex allegations scandals?


Donald Trump: Would he survive to be America’s next president after sex allegations scandals?


The mouth that said ” Hosannah! Hosannah!! Hosannah!!! Here comes Christ, the Redeemer, who was the same mouth that said, Crucify Him! He is a traitor.”


That’s the same scene in politics every day, every time, without a change. In politics, a good person can bear false witness against you because he or she doesn’t want you to win.

In politics, you can have a lot of enemies even though you haven’t hurt them in any way, but just because they don’t like you.

The world used to be interested in America’s politics, as a great nation in many things, including evil, but the past and present ugly scenes in America’s politics have made many people worldwide lose interest.

Since Donald Trump won the Nevada Republican caucuses by a huge margin, chalking up his third straight triumph in the party’s presidential nominating process and building momentum ahead of a critical multi-state, many are upset and wish to cause his downfall.

After insults, funny cartoons, dirty images, stupid jokes, etc, the Republican nominee now faces many accusations of sex scandals, something that no one is expecting to hear.

The question is: Why do women with bitter experiences involving sexual harassment always wait till someone is shining in his endeavors before they come forward to blow their horns?

I am neither defending Trump nor calling any woman a liar, but the simple question is: Why now, ladies?  So do we have to believe you or Trump?

In America’s political history, no leader was or is a saint. Many did horrible things or lied in the name of democracy, but now American citizens and the media are those that are now creating a different political scene in America.

I am not interested in America’s politics, but frankly speaking, if I were an American, I would never waste my vote on the wife of Bill Clinton.

AFRICA MUST BOYCOTT ELECTIONS: AIDS AND EBOLA ARE BIO-WEAPONS TO DEPOPULATE THE CONTINENT


African leaders and Barack Obama

African leaders and Barack Obama


African leaders have no solutions to African problems, so they remain slaves to Europe and America. The reason they can’t confront Europe and America about Aids and Ebola medical crimes is ignorance and stupidity.

Africans must boycott elections until the leaders speak the truth about Aids and Ebola medical crimes because the two diseases are bio-weapons against Africa.

The incompetence of many African leaders has caused the downfall of Africa. Years after colonization, African leaders still can’t find the way to lift the continent from poverty and embark on developmental projects.

Even though slavery is long abolished, Africans are still slaves to the developed world. They can’t make any good use of their resources. They only sit and watch Europeans, Americans, and the Chinese enjoying our resources while they serve them as slaves in their own countries.

Many Africans in the Diaspora are willing to come back, but the fear of going bankrupt and facing difficulties in a continent with corruption exceeds all other factors, keeping them from investing.

Shockingly, African leaders remain silent over medical crimes, such as Aids and Ebola, deliberately inflicted on Africans. This is not intelligence at all; it rather shows how weak, powerless, and incompetent African leaders are. Do African leaders have any protection for Africans at all?

Power-conscious African leaders solicit votes with promises and lies, yet they don’t do anything significant for the people who queue for long hours in the sun to cast their votes. 

Africans must boycott elections and demand an answer from their leaders over Aids and Ebola medical crimes in the continent by Europe and America.

Aids and Ebola a medical crimes used as bio-weapons to depopulate Africa. The African continent needs justice for those responsible for medical crimes. 

Until the true origins of Aids and Ebola are revealed and until African leaders ask Europe and America why they did that to Africa, Africans must boycott elections.

Africa, you’ve got the right to vote or not. Don’t let the threat of these stupid leaders who don’t care about you make you run and stand in the hot sun to vote for them. Boycott elections, Africa boycott elections. 

Yesterday was Aids, today is Ebola, what comes next? Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea boycott elections.

Anthony B: One of the versatile Jamaican musicians known for his quest for justice and equal rights


Anthony Keith Blair, popularly known as Anthony B, is one of the Jamaican globetrotting, versatile musicians and members of the Rastafari faith.

Usually on stage in African attire depicting his roots, and a staff in his hand, the energetic reggae musician’s lyric reflects on poverty, injustice, and crime, giving hope and consolation to the downtrodden masses.

Once in Antwerp, Belgium, after entertaining the massive spectators at the venue ‘Petrol,’ I took the opportunity to talk to Anthony B. about his life and music.

“Poverty, talking about suffering, I don’t even have words to explain it, because this is the way we live. It is part of our lives that we never try to eliminate it." 

"We always have to remember our roots, as Burning Spear said. For me, there is too much suffering in the world. People live rich, while others live in poverty, yet no one cares. This was created by a man, not God. This is what ‘Mr. Heartless’ is about,” says Anthony B."

You were born Anthony Keith Blair. Did changing your name to Anthony B. enhance your success as a musician?

Not really, but growing up in music in Jamaica as an artist, you need to find a name for yourself. I’m oriented African with an English name, so I made it Anthony B.

Anthony B speaks about his experience in the Gambia.

I have been to Senegal and Gambia. First and foremost, the reality as a reality, I respect my culture. There was an incident during my visit to the Gambia, as my visa expired the same day I was leaving.

I was at the airport when I was told the Gambia police were looking for me to be deported to Jamaica. It was a silly thing to know that you have been to the continent of your origin, but haven’t had enough days to see the people. All these problems were created by political leaders.

If you want a visa for the Gambia, you have to go to England first. They have to remove all these political barriers. I remember a friend from Accra, Ghana, who was deported from Germany to Jamaica because he claimed to be Jamaican.
He doesn’t know anyone in Jamaica. Luckily, he had my number. He had to call me to help him because we are all Africans.

One summer holiday, together with Professor Johan Van Dongen, we decided to create this blog to bring to the awareness of many people, including Europeans, Americans, and Africans, who have no idea that the two connected diseases (Aids and Ebola) were medical crimes used as bio-weapons by America to depopulate Africa.

On this website or blog, you'll get the right information about every hidden fact about Aids, Ebola, Lassa Fever, and other diseases that politicians and the mainstream media have hidden from the common man on the street. 


On this blog, you'll discover the true origins of Aids and Ebola to consider yourself as one living in an unpredictable, dangerous world and know about the role of the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control, The Rockefeller Foundation, Bill Gates, etc, played or participated in depopulation programs.

LUCKY DUBE SINGS ABOUT TODAY'S VIOLENT WORLD


‘Crazy World’ : Lucky Dube’s music is rapidly revealing violence and killings in today’s racially violent world


‘Crazy World’: Lucky Dube’s music is rapidly revealing violence and killings in today’s racially violent world


What Sort Of World Are We Inviting Our Children Into?



“Everywhere in the world, people are fighting for freedom; nobody knows what is right, nobody knows what is wrong. The black man says it’s the white man, the white man says it’s the black man. Indians say it’s the coloreds, coloreds say it’s everyone,” sings South African reggae legend, Lucky Dube, in a racial tension song called ‘War and Crime.’


This is a perfect song whose lyrics describe the events of today’s racially chaotic world in Europe and America. The world is increasingly becoming so dangerous that we need to ask ourselves: What sort of world are we inviting our children into? And what sort of future are we building for them in this racially bitter society?


Years after slavery, the relationship between African Americans and Americans remains very poor. After the 1992 riots in Los Angeles, regarding Rodney King, many thought things would improve, but recent shootings of police officers to death reveal that there isn’t any imminent peace between African-Americans and Americans. “How long is this gonna last, cause we’ve come so far so fast,”- asked Lucky Dube, the South African reggae legend.


Lucky Dube continued “I’ m not saying this because I’m a coward, but I’m thinking of the lives that we lose every time we fight. Killing innocent people, women and children yeah,” reflecting on last week’s events of the senseless massacre of innocent people in Nice, France, as a truck plowed through Bastille Day crowd, killing 84 people, including children.

Nice, France, as a truck, plowed through Bastille Day crowd, killing 84 people, including children. Two young women laying flowers for the victims.

Children are usually caught up in racially motivated crimes and violence, yet they are not responsible for any of them. But many times influenced by the crimes surrounding them and what they watch on television, they grow up to be racists and criminals. 


Actually, a child is never born a racist; adults and the harsh environmental experience influence them. World leaders, schools, and parents have a huge task to create a happy and safe environment for our children: “We should bury down apartheid, racism, discrimination, and fight down war and crime,” Lucky Dube
 advised.

INFECTIOUS MYTH – JOEL SAVAGE ON BELGIUM, AIDS AND EBOLA


King Leopold's statue


King Leopold's statue


“Why are there still statues of King Leopold of Belgium, who killed a similar number of Africans as Hitler killed Jews?” – David Crowe


David Crowe interviews Joel Savage on AIDS and Ebola, and the dark role of Belgium in African history. Although Joel has worked with Dr. Johan van Dongen on the theory that HIV and Ebola viruses are laboratory-engineered, and David is skeptical of this theory, not accepting that there is any evidence that the viruses exist, it is still an interesting discussion.


Why are there still statues of King Leopold of Belgium, who killed a similar number of Africans as Hitler killed Jews? And is the West really helping Africa when it comes to disease, or just using the perceived hopelessness for profit?






Full interview.

Queen Mathilde Of Belgium Unfollowed Me On Twitter Because The Truth Hurts

Queen Mathilde of Belgium

Queen Mathilde of Belgium


Queen Mathilde of Belgium unfollowed me on Twitter yesterday because she couldn’t stand the truth. The Belgian government and the Minister of Justice, Annemie Turtelboom, both support crime. 


In Brussels stands a statue of Leopold II, after killing 10 million Africans, including women and children, yet there is no statue of Hitler for committing a similar crime.  Bye-bye Queen Mathilde.


“I will not accept even one million Euro bribe from someone to stop exposing your dirty and bloody hands”- Joel Savage.


About six months ago, Belgium's Queen Mathilde followed me on Twitter. I guess she has been reading my articles. I have said it many times that I didn’t come to Belgium to praise their chocolates and beer but to expose their crimes, those crimes that their incompetent journalists wouldn’t like to write about.


Just imagine, a country that is fighting hard against crime, including terrorism, yet in the same country stands a statue of a king who killed over ten million Africans, including women and children. Who in his or her right mind will do such a thing? It’s only the Belgian government and the heartless Royal Family that can do such an abominable act.


In Belgium are thousands of journalists who claim they have studied to the university level, yet no one has the guts to write about the hidden and supporting crimes of the Belgian government and the Royal Family. I took it as a responsibility, using my blog to send the message to readers and my followers on all the popular social media, and it worked.


My blog is doing well. At times, I get over a thousand readers per day. Just yesterday, I posted an article entitled “An Open Letter To The Minister Of Justice Annemie Turtelboom,” complaining bitterly that she has abused her trust as minister of justice, whereby in Brussels stands a statue of King Leopold II, despite all the crimes he committed.


The fact that Leopold was a criminal, who doesn’t deserve that statue; thus, both the Royal Family, the Belgian government, and the Minister of Justice are supporting crime. 


This is true. There is no educated person or even a moron who can ignore this truth. So I am not surprised that the article I wrote has finally damaged the psychological and physical emotions of Queen Mathilde to unfollow me on Twitter.

“If they want to kill me, it’s easy to find me, but I will not waste a minute of my precious sleep because of death.” 


Probably, she thought, following me on Twitter would let me stop writing against them. Not the writer called Joel SavageI will not accept even one million Euros in bribes from anybody to stop exposing your dirty and bloody hands.


Will Belgium be happy if a statue of an African king who killed 10 million Belgians, including women and children, is erected in Africa? Shameless evil people. There is no truth; the reason our society is now falling apart.


With Professor Johan Van Dongen, the Dutch scientist who revealed that Aids and Ebola were bio-weapons used as medical crimes against Africa, we shall continue to follow the truth to save this sick society from falling apart. If they want to kill me, it’s easy to find me, but I will not waste a minute of my precious sleep because of death. 


On May 7th, 2016, on Twitter, Queen Mathilde tweeted “1 glas wijn per dag is goed voor de gezondheid, .. . de rest van de fles is goed voor de moraal (A glass of wine a day is good for health, etc. . the rest of the bottle is good for the moral.) 


She didn’t say that “Let’s pull down this controversial statue of Leopold II because of his crimes to reduce the hate surrounding Belgium. Drink your wine, Queen Mathilde, and let Belgium explode with hate.

BLESSED ASSURANCE JESUS IS OURS


The miracles of Jesus are an expression of the love of God for all of us: Photo

"If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels." 

.
Jesus made this statement several years ago because he knew it would happen. It takes courage to speak about the gospel in today's society because people begin to look at you strangely, as if you have lost your mind.

There are churches all over Europe and America, but in Britain, many have been converted to drinking pubs, and the few left are completely empty every Sunday because many are not interested in listening to the gospel.

Many pastors have lost vision and gone astray, leaving the sheep scattered, yet we blame everyone for the decay of society, which has affected many, including our children.

A lot of children lack good training because they didn't get the chance to learn about the gospel, to educate them, since their parents also lack the knowledge of the gospel. The reason many children can't be controlled. 

Years after passing through horrible situations, those who can't handle it any longer crave suicidal tendencies, yet there is always a solution for teenagers finding themselves caught up in difficult situations, but the help always comes too late. 

Parents shouldn't feel embarrassed to talk to their children about the gospel. It's great to know Jesus.  He promised, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
