DIEZANI THEFT: WE STAND ACCUSSED

My gut reaction, to the article below, about the stolen Nigerian Billions by Diezani Alison-Madueke, was that of anger. Anger at Diezani for being a disgrace to the community she came from , a disgrace to her Local Government area, a Disgrace to her State, a Disgrace to Nigeria, a Disgrace to Womanhood and finally, a Disgrace to Motherhood.

After my initial anger subsides, I started to think rationally. 

No! Diezani does not fall into Nigeria from the Skies, No! We gave Birth to her, yes! We nurture her from infancy into Womanhood. She married amongst us. She married one of us.

Her husband, Admiral Allison Madueke (retired), one-time Chief of Naval Staff who was at various times governor of Imo and Anambra States, during, her ministerial posting. One cannot but conclude that, her husband was privy, to her financial shenanigans. He must have encouraged her, urging her on, giving her the boldness she needed, in her blatant disrespect for the Nigerian Nationhood.

Probably, he and his “Boys” help her design new ways of perfecting the art of Kleptomania. Probably one of his “Boys” suggested to him that if she gets the Nationality of the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean Islands. She can escape the “Short” arm of the Nigerian Law. Because, Nigeria has no extradition Treaty, with the Dominican Republic. So, her Spouse is as guilty as she is.

Her Community saw, her extra ordinary change of fortune after she became a Minister, instead of raising an eyebrow, they were happy that, it is one of their daughters that was able to steal Government money and dole out some peanuts to them whenever she visited home. Her Community is as guilty as Diezani.

Her State Governor and Legislators, who were in a position; to know the Salary of a Federal Minister. Knew of her private jet landings at the State Capital Air-port, and the large entourage that follows her, but, they say nothing, they were inwardly happy that one of their girls is bleeding Nigeria dry. But secretly jealous of her thieving Position, Dreaming that one day, their own chance will come to become, a Minister. Then they too, will “Chop Bellyful”. So therefore, the whole of her State is guilty as she was charged. 

Our President and the Presidency, under whom she served as a minister, the Nigerian Senate, the Nigerian House of Representatives, the Inspector General of Police, the Chief Justice of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the entire Judiciary of the Federal Republic and finally, all Nigerians of a Voting age, home or abroad, we all, are aware of her extravagant lifestyle, we all knew of her children living the Jet set lifestyle, we all knew of our top musicians playing at the birthday parties of her children, we all knew of their private jet trips overseas.

We all kept quiet, we say nothing. Instead we envied their Debauched and Decadent Lifestyle. Praying to God; in ignorance, that, He should, bless us with money and Power as He did the Maduekes. No! That type of money is not of God. (Topic for another day).

Diezani will go to trial in London again, as she stands before the Crown, accused; all the above mentioned people stand accused with her, in fact, every Nigerian of a voting age, will stand as an Accused person with her in the dock. Because, we all kept Silent. We are all an Accomplice to Theft. Because, the only thing needed for the Triumph of Evil is for Good Men to do Nothing.

PART 2

After the initial anger, referred to; at the beginning of this write up. I felt a sincere sorrow for Diezani. All said and done, she still remains my sister, a daughter from same womb of my Motherland, Nigeria, a Granddaughter of the Grand Mother of all Mankind, Mother Africa.

It does not have to be like this, for her, to learn to obey the Ten Commandments. She was brought up with it, from her Sunday School Days, in her youth. She was taught.

Thou Shall not Steal.

She has Stolen, Diabolically at that!!! 

Love thy Neighbour as Thyself.

She does Not Love Her Neighbour as Herself, In Fact; she Demoniacally Loved herself at the Expense of 170 Millions of her Neighbours!!!

Thou Shall not have Another God Beside the Lord thy God.

She had another God apart from the Lord!!! 

Pound Sterling and the Dollar became her God and she Satanically Worshipped them!!!

It does not have to take the insidious Cancer and International Humiliation for her to understand the ephemeral essence of Life.

She supposes to have known, she was brought up with the Bible. She knew the story of King Solomon who is far richer than our own modern day Dangote, the Richest Black Man on Earth today. If you do not believe me, let Dangote try having 300 wives and 700 Concubines. 

The Famous King Solomon with his Wisdom, his Wealth, his Wives, his Concubines and his highest level of Enjoyment in Life. At the end of it all, concluded that “All is Vanity and a Striving after the Winds”. I am very sure that, this High level of awakening is what my Nigerian Sister Diezani is going through right now.

I hope that by some Divine intervention her Cancer will be Miraculously Healed, if God willing; that happens, she will become a better human being, because she has stared death in the eye and survived. She will become a wise person.

I always argue with my friends that King Solomon’s wisdom came from pain. The burden of carrying so much wealth, the realization of time running out, the image of a tomb as his final bedchamber. That made him to realize the frivolous nature of Life. 

I am very sure that, Diezani will give back every penny she ever stole from Nigeria, to get back, her healthy self and enjoy life once again; actually, if she does that honestly, she will have her health back in full. There are Laws in the Universe.

I hope that all those, V.I.Ps (Vagabonds In Power) in Abuja, that are collecting N9 Billion Clownish Costume Allowance from our treasury every year. Would embraces wisdom and abhor, their lawless and inglorious ways. 

 NOTE: WhatsApp article referred to. Writer Unknown. 

 “I start to imagine what a normal human being would ever need 13 Billion British Pounds that's 27 trillions of Naira for in this limited world, which if divided according to the equivocal population of Nigerians 170,000,000 people each person will get over N158 millions. I wonder if former President GEJ could imagine that only one out of his ex-Ministers could steal such a stupendous amount under his administration without his knowledge. Wonders shall never end! In reference to the CNN report that the former Minister has made a refund of $90B already, how much is Dangote worth? As at today Dangote is worth $14.7B and the 67th in the world while Bill Gates was the 2nd with $ 79.2 on the Forbes list. Diezani is simply a wonder. Old pensioners are dying of hunger daily,Insurgency is consuming lives of innocent Nigerians, workers are no longer getting their salaries as at when due, Government can no longer build infrastructures, road all over the country are in complete bad shape and only one woman got away with this kind of money. Nigeria is a wonder, while Diezani is a SHAME to PDP government”.

ABUJA CLOWNS: A CONTINENTAL DISGRACE

I started calling our lawmakers “ABUJA CLOWNS” when it became a public knowledge that they collect a NGN 9 BILLION WARDROBE ALLOWANNCE YEARLY. $32,197,017. That is 32 Million American Dollars. For the purchase of their gowns of the Clown.

Because, of all the professions in the world that I know of; only the clowns in children department in Television Stations collect a wardrobe allowance.

So, for our Lawmakers to be collecting a wardrobe allowance, while they refuse to increase the Nigerian minimum Wage from $50 per Month to a $100 per Month, they surely must be Clowns. That is after receiving six times and eight times the salary of the President of America, a Super Power Nation.

Although some of my friends that have friends and relatives among them thought that, I am too harsh with them.

But the recent news about the three House members that went on a randy rampage in Ohio, USA, vindicates me. I call them “CLOWNS” metaphorically, but with the details of their escapades in the news papers, I realize that they are literally, clowns.

These are men that sits in positions of power in our nation, supposedly addressed as Honourables. (From this day forth, I promise to always appendage their names with the Suffix: Dis-honourable).

These are the idiots that went to represent Nigeria abroad, a Nation of 170 Million people, the most populous Black Nation on Earth, with the Fastest Growing Economy in Africa, a Nation that produces 2 Million Barrels of Crude Oil per day, the Giant of Africa?!!!

If this is the Calibre of Humans that we choose to Rule over Us, we are Indeed a Doomed

Nation.

If these immoral, debased and unfaithful men are the best we have to choose from, we are surely a pitiful Race.

These are supposedly happily married men. I am sure that one or two of them would have multiple wives if not the three of them, plus many girl friends in Abuja. The sit of power, of the modern day Babylon the Giant. Mother of all Harlots.

How can fools like this be good Leaders?!!! They know nothing about loyalty, not to their wives, not to their children, not to their community, and surely not to us, Nigerians, we that employed them, and pay them a ridiculous amount of money.

We should desist from choosing undeveloped, primitive humans, that still exist on the level of the inherent animal desires in men, to rule over us.

Most likely, their colleagues will not ask for their resignations. Because they are birds of same feather. In a sane society, they will volunteer to resign, if they do not, their colleagues will suspend them.

That is in a normal Republic. But Ours has been turned into a Banana Republic by the Immoral Golems that hold us to Ransom in Our Fatherland.

I use to say, in some of my write-ups, that any Country that exalts money above character and knowledge is a doomed Nation.

It is we, the Nigerian Diaspora that I really feel sorry for, because it is we that bears the SHAME of the shenanigans of our anomie leaders.

It is we that our foreign friends always ask, what is wrong with your country?

Is it true, that your President died atop, two foreign prostitutes?

Is it true, that your President Bribed the widow of his predecessor with $100.000.000? A hundred Million American Dollars.

Is it a fact, that your senators collect eight times the salary of President Obama? etc..….

Despite the Billions of Dollars that the Nigerian Diaspora sends to Nigeria every year, money that keeps the Nigerian Economy afloat.  The thank you, that, we get from our thieving leaders is to rubbish the name of our Fatherland in the Community of Nations.

Really, Morals and Loyalty apart, this episode massively underlines the mental state and awareness of our leaders.

It shows that they are primitive ignorant men. It shows that mentally they still live in 15^th or 16^th century. I always iterate that driving a 4x4 or watching a satellite television, nor using the latest fashionable mobile phone, makes you a civilized person.

This shows that most of our leaders do not read books regularly; they do not take in new knowledge. They are just interested in stealing the wealth of our Fatherland.

If they were living in this 21^st Century mentally, they would have known that there is something that is called Escort Services in all cities of the World.

If they are so desperate, and so undisciplined, if their lives depends on amorous liaisons with strange women, with all that entails.

What the idiots have to do is, Google, “Escort Agency in Cleveland, Ohio, USA”, on their fancy mobile phones. They will see the pictures of the girls and pick their choices, (Black, White, Latino, Asian, desired shape or size. Even a private party with all four.) pay with their credit card or cash on arrival, directly to their rooms. None of the hotel staff or anybody for that matter will be any wiser to their depraved life style.

I Googled the above, for the purpose of this article; I got 696,000 Hits in 0.62 Seconds.

This is how desperate the ignorance of our so called clownish leaders is.

Now, please tell me. Are these Men Clowns or are they not?....

NIGERIAN CHRIST-ATTAINITY

Most of we Nigerians, practice what I call, 

HAPPY CLAPPY CHRISTIANITY..
Christianity; without depth or Substance. Our Christianity is a part of our Culture of Efficy:

 http://sogunyemi.blog.com/…/…/02/nigerian-culture-of-efficy/

We Penetrate, every Street Conner, with Churches like the British Corner Shops. 

Yet Christ does not penetrate our Hearts. We Dance and Shout Halleluiah!!! Christ is the Lord!!! 

Yet, Naira is the Lord of Our Hearts. 

We Shout the Lord is Great!!! 

Yet, Wealth and Material things, is Greater than the Lord for us.

The Scandinavians may not be “churchy”, but they are highly spiritual in their ways of life. Actually Christianity is the basis of all Western Civilization. 

All the Love and Care that the Scandinavian Governments give to their Citizens is based on Bible Principles.
They use to be, very strong, Christian Nations. So Christ way of life has Penetrated their Hearts for many Generations it has become their Culture, a way of Life for them, their Nature.

For example Finland my adopted country, is the least Corrupt Country in the World. The worst thing, you can deeply hurt a Finnish Person with, is to call him or her a Liar or a Thieve. 

Whereas, if you call, some of my Nigerian brothers; a thief, they will see it as a Complement. They will tell you, that, Money is in the Mouth of the Lion, Only the Brave ones, who are ready to Lie, Cheat, Steal, Kill or be Killed, can take the Money from the lion’s Mouth. 

So, you can see the difference in the orientation of the two peoples. Although the Scandinavians might not go to the Church, Christ has Refined their Nature.
Whereas, my Happy Clappy, Nigerian Christian Brother, that practically lives in the Church has not allow Christ to Control his Heart.

Really, thinking about it, most of us Nigerians are First Generation Christians. We still see Christ as a (BABALAWO) the SHAMAN that has the Magic Wand to solve our Problems, like in the Days of Old when our Forefathers Consult with the Oracles. 

In my Observations, Money is the God that most Nigerians Serve. They go to Churches to Receive their own Miracle. They Sow Seed; every time for same Miracle of Money and Wealth.
Yet, only the Pastors are Receiving the Miracles of Wealth and Private Jets. They contribute their meager funds into the Church’s School and University projects, yet, the school fees are too expensive for the congregation to send their Children to. Only the Corrupt officials can send their Children there.

I so much love God, for He is no Respecter of Stupidity. He does not bend his Laws to Human Frivolities.
He has given us everything we need to know in the Bible. If we are too lazy to pick up the Bible and read it for our selves, then too bad, we are on our own.

We were told in the Bible, that, we have one Father God, and that, Jesus Christ is the Only intermediary between us and God. If we then put our Faith in Pastors to Intercede between us and God, we deserve what we get.
If, after, He has warned us, that in the Last Days, False Prophets will Arise. Doing Wonders in his Name but He will Deny Them in His Father’s Kingdom. That, they are; Workers of Iniquities.

Yet, you give your money to every Jill, Jack and Harry Pastor, that is your own Problems.

We should all try to read the Bible for ourselves, at least to know what it is saying to us.

Also we should pray for the Holy Spirit of God to Minister Christ into our Heart, that we may have, a Christ like Mind.

So that, we may always Do The Right Thing.

I say to that, AMEN!!!!.

NIGERIAN CULTURE OF EFFICY

The Yoruba Language, spoken by the Yoruba People of the western part of Nigeria, is an interesting language.

It is one of the oldest languages in the world; I read somewhere years back when I was in College in Greece, that the Hebrew language developed from a language that has its roots in the Yoruba language.

Most languages of the world today, have some words that have its roots in the Yoruba Language.

I actually believe that the Greek Language and the Greek People are Descendants of the Yoruba People, due to the similarity in the Greek Language structure and Yoruba, the Greek Culture and Yoruba Culture, the Greek Mentality and Yoruba Mentality.

The similarity of these two Peoples is too overwhelming to be a coincidence.

What arouses my interest in the language is, its dynamism, although it originates in Nigeria, it is spoken in the Republic of Benin, Cuba, Brazil, and in Religious Ceremonies in Haiti, actually, in the Haitian religious system, it is believed that; after death the Soul travels back to Ile-Ife the Paradise.

Ile-Ife on Co-Ordinates: Longitude: 7°28’14.54″N and Latitude: 4°33’23.94″E. In the West of Nigeria; is believed to be the physical and Spiritual Center of the World, it is believed in Yoruba etymology that Ile-Ife is the SOURCE of all humans in the World today. Even the name Adam is a Yoruba word- Adamo=Created from Clay.

Yoruba is spoken in more than fifty dialects in Nigeria with each generation adding its own slang; although an ancient language this flexibility makes Yoruba a modern language to each generation.

The latest addition into the Yoruba vocabulary is the word “EFFICY”.

This word was coined into the Yoruba Language by the “419 Boys” (The Notorious Nigerian Scammers in Lagos).

This word EFFICY originates from the English word EFFECT, like in Film Effect, to make what is not appearing real.
This word EFFICY is commonly used today as a Yoruba word among the youths, for example, if a girl is well dressed and made-up, her friends may say, this EFFICY (i.e. make believe) of yours is Superb, meant as a compliment.

I was thinking of the above and my beloved Country of Birth yesterday evening, upon my bed; before I drifted into the unknown world of Dreams, then my mind drifted to a scene that happened in the mid-nineties, in my adopted Country, Finland.

I went into the MEMPHIS Restaurant and Cafeteria, right in the Center of Helsinki, to have an evening tea; MEMPHIS is famous for her Floor to Roof Glass Windows, I took my sit at an empty table beside the window, as I settled down, I saw by the window sill a golden cased NOKIA phone that was just released into the market in Finland the previous week, this latest Nokia phone was selling for about $800 USD. I picked the phone and gave it to the service person at the bar and went back to my table.

As I was enjoying my evening tea about fifteen minutes later, a gentle man between the age of thirty two and thirty five years old; dressed in a business suit carrying a portfolio rushed into the Cafeteria side of the Restaurant and came straight at my table, his eyes searching the breath and length of the wide window and its sill.

In the typically Shy, Polite, Respectful and Civilized Finnish way of handling things, the man did not say a word to me. I was curious to see if he will talk to me first, he just walk up and down the Cafeteria, his eyes scorching the window sill.

When I was sure, he is not about to ask me anything, I asked him, if I can help him, then he said, “I think, I left my phone somewhere here”.
I took him to the bar, told the bar person who was busy attending to other customers, that, this man is the owner of the mobile phone that I gave her.

After he has collected his phone, he came to my table to thank me and offer to buy me any drink of my choice. I thanked him, and told him not to bother repaying me for doing my duty. He gave me his business card and say if I ever need any help in Finland, I should not hesitate to call on him.

Then he asked me what Country I came from, I told him Nigeria. He was so shocked that I thought he is going to have a heart attack. When he recovered from his initial shock, he sat at my table and asked me if I am sure that I am a Nigerian. I said I am. Then he said, if I am a Nigerian; how come I return his expensive Mobile Phone, because he receive scam letters from Nigerian Criminals on a daily basis, letters that has ran into hundreds by then.

That incident happened over twenty years ago and the “419 Boys” Scammers are still waxing strong in Nigeria today, my drowsiness left me I became saddened and wide awake thinking; why the Nigerian Government has not stopped this Cankerous Epidemic that has destroyed the Image of Nigeria and Nigerians in the World Community.

In this Saddened and Sleepless State, I realized that, why the so called Nigerian Government cannot stop the “419” epidemic is because the Government itself is a 419 Scam – an EFFICY – like everything else in the Nigerian Factor.

Nothing is what they seem. In Nigeria, the Government is not a Government, a Police Man is not a Police Man, Power Authority is not generating Energy, a Taxi is not a Taxi, an Hospital is not a Hospital, an Institution of Higher Learning is not what it is suppose to be, the Air Port is not an Airport, a Hotel is not an Hotel, everything is just an Illusion of the real thing in other Countries.

In Intelligent Countries of the World, the purpose of a Government is to Serve, Nurture, Plan and Provide for her Citizens.
In Nigeria the purpose of Government is to oppress the Citizens, Destroy the Middle Class, and Plunder the National Wealth, Siphon Stolen Money to Foreign Banks, the Nigerian Government is not performing the Functions of a Real Government, so, the Nigerian Government is a 419 Scam, a Make Believe an Illusion an EFFICY.

The purpose of a Police Force in any Nation is to preserve Law and Order, uphold Peace and Justice.

Nigeria too has a Police Force, like any other Nation in the World, only the Nigerian Police Force is the Arbiter of Corruption (One Inspector General of the Nigerian Police was once caught with Millions of Nigerian Naira, Pound Sterling and US Dollars) hidden in his Office. The Nigerian Police is the embodiment of Lawlessness, Disorder, Sorrow and Injustice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b4K1vV6wyw

So, the Nigerian Police Force is a fake Organization it is a 419 Scam, an EFFICY.

Every Country has a Power Generating Corporation, that supply Electricity to the People of that Country, Nigeria has too, it is called NEPA, for the past 40 years with Billions of US Dollars spent on Energy, Nigerians are yet to see the Light. So NEPA is a Scam a 419 an EFFICY.

Not to tire my readers, the above happens in all areas of human Endeavor in Nigeria. Education, Aviation, Military, Communication e.t.c.

The Chibok Girls Saga, vindicates what I wrote above. Nigerian Army is probably the Biggest Army in Africa. With Billions of US Dollars spent on Security Annually.
Yet the Nigerian Military is unable to wipe out a rag-tag BOKO HARAM off the Surface of the Earth. Why? !!!

Because the Nigerian Army has turned into a 419 Enterprise, a Make Belief an Illusion of what a National Army are elsewhere. The Nigerian Generals are interested only in making their Thieving Fortune in the Nigerian Oil Industry.
They are less concerned with the Security of the Country, because they know that if Push comes to Shove, they will run away to England or America to enjoy their Nigerian Stolen Wealth.
So the Nigerian Army is a Scam a 419 an EFFICY.

If our Leaders are Serious in Making our Country a Truly Great Nation, they should throw away their Agbada and all other Flowing Gowns, put on their Khaki Knickers and Roll Up Their Sleeves.

The job of Building a Nation is a Very Serious Business; it is one of the Highest Honors that can be given to a Person. It is not a Position to Amass Wealth and have a Good Time, to Collect all Types of Allowances including Costume Allowance, while Refusing to increase the Minimum Wage in the Country from $50 USD to $100 USD Per Month, this is Repulsive, Inhuman and Unjust, it is like giving Men’s Jobs to Boys, only CLOWNS working in Children Department of Television Stations receive Costume Allowance.

This is a Time for our Nation Building, it is not a Party time Yet.

MANDELA'S DREAM

                       MANDELA'S REVEALED DREAM: A MASSACRE BY IDIOTS.

I was at the Mandela Day, Gala Dinner at the Radisson Hotel, in Swords, Dublin, Ireland; on Saturday the 19^th of July 2014.

The Dinner Party was well organized by ANC Ireland, many people representing different organizations were in attendance.

The food was good the music was great, the dance floor was bursting with energy in various dance steps from Africa to the Caribbeans and everything in between including dance to Scottish Pipe music. All went very well, then the Disc Jockey played Bob Marley's ONE LOVE, the Dance Floor Exploded, many people had been siting all night, and some people like me, that has hung my Dancing Shoes many years ago, scrambled to the Dance Floor, singing and dancing to Marley's "One Love".

The dance floor was filled with Love, emanating from all of us on the Dance Floor

though our skin color and Nationalities varies; at that moment we all became ONE, we all melted into one UNIVERSAL SOUL of LOVE.

Then I experienced an opening of the Senses. Right there before me. Mandela’s Dream was revealed to me as clear as a Sunny Day in Jo'Borg.

It was nothing short of an Epiphany. What I saw was Beautiful and Powerful. It is like the Gates of the Heavens were opened, welcoming me into the Mind of God, revealing the original purpose of Divinity for Mankind, that we should love our neighbors as we love ourselves.

In that moment of Oneness with all Mankind, I experienced the Love of God and that God is Love.

Looking at the Rainbow Nation and the Rainbow Nationalities before me. I vividly understood Madiba's Dream for South Africa.

A South Africa where all Tribes and Races live in Peace and Harmony, an Ideal worth Living for and if need be, an Ideal Worth Dying for.

This is why this recent wave of Xenophobic attacks in South Africa is particularly very painful to me.

Because, probably, South Africa and South Africans (both Black and White) are the most Beloved People and Country in the World today. Everybody Love the South Africans.

Thanks to Mandela, when people think of Africa their mind go first to S. A.

That is why South Africa became the Capital country of Africa, and Pretoria the Capital City of Africa. Jo'Borg is to Africans what New York City is to the Western World.

This was achieved in one generation, this is a Legacy that all South Africa citizens should hold dear.

Being an Expatriate in many countries, all my adult years, I can not but have a strong opinion about this recent incidents.

Mostly, Xenophobia is always started by, the Economically Marginalized of the Society. Those that contribute little or nothing economically to the local Economy.

They spread the Myth that Foreigners take their Jobs. Foreigners, got that Job in the first place, because you are not working that Job.

Mostly the Xenophobic ones are the Lazy ones, who in their Foolish Pride are too proud to dirty their hands with Manual Labor. Often, they are not educated in any form of trade.

More often than not, the immigrants, come into the host Country, Hungry for Success, will do any type of odd job, even with a University Degree in his pocket

from his Country of Origin.

By dint of hard work, most immigrants prosper over the years, in their host country, than their Local Contemporaries.

Xenophobia, really, has its roots in Jealousy, the locals, out of Jealousy, starts a campaign of hate against the successful Migrants.

They forgot that, when they, the Locals, were smoking and drinking their life away in the Night Clubs of their Cities and Towns, their Migrant Counterparts were working three Jobs simultaneously.

Although most Xenophobic are Illiterate Idiots, they are too Stupid to Understand the repercussions of their actions. They lack the Intellectual Faculty to understand the Intricacies of a modern day society.

They can not understand that, today, the world is a global village.

What happens in one corner of the world will resonate, around the World.

For example, some Nigerians are advocating for the boycott of MTN Network in Nigeria, for two weeks. In protest, MTN being a South African Company that makes most of its profits in Nigeria. Actually the profit that MTN Nigeria, make in one Quarter, is more than what every Nigerian in South Africa put together, make in one whole year.

That is just one South African Company, there are many Companies from South Africa, thriving, all over Africa.

The Xenophobes, must be educated to understand that, the days of tribal warfare are over. We have to learn to tolerate each other.

Killing and Burning each other alive is Unacceptable, It is Inhuman, It is Barbaric it is Ungodly.

The Government should try to Alleviate the Sufferings of this Destitute people, in the form of a Government Life Subsidy. Because Abject Poverty turns Men into Animals.

If we in Africa continue to neglect, the Poor and the Vulnerable amongst us, we shall end up loosing more, than the minimal money that is needed for their uplifting right now.

I actually believe that those Nations that the Gods want to punish Economically, are the ones, that drive away foreigners from their Country.

Unfortunately we Africans do not learn from our past mistakes.

It is a Myth that, foreigners ruins Local Economy; to the contrary, Foreigners do create Economic Boom in Countries that welcome them.

For example, during the last World Financial Crisis, that hits most Countries of the world, Canada is probably, the only country in the world, that does not suffer a scratch. Canada has been (Importing) I mean, Inviting, Migrants into Canada for many years now.

In the 70's Ghana drove Nigerians out of Ghana. After the Pogrom, Ghanian Economy Nose Dived, by the Early parts of the 80's over Two Million Ghanians were immigrants in Nigeria. Doing all types of Jobs contributing massively to the Nigerian Economy.

Sadly for Nigeria and due to most of our African Leaders Fire Brigade approach to Serious National issues.

Ghanians were sent packing, because, a Ghanian Driver stole a Peugeot 504 Saloon Car he was employed to drive for a Nigerian Government Official.

Nigerian Economy, went Burst, after the Exodus of the Ghanians. By Mid 90's it is the Nigerians that started migrating to Ghana and every Country on Earth. This trend continue till dis Day.

Talking of present Day, in 2007 the World Economy suffered a Burst, it affected many Countries. But the worst affected were Greece and Ireland my current Home. I lived and went to College in Greece, so I know both Countries and their  mindset.

Ireland, despite the Economic Bitter Pill that it has to take, remain Inclusive to Migrants, actually giving Irish Nationalities to the Foreigners amongst them in tens of Hundreds. Ireland won the Respect of the International Financial Communities, because we have started our Economic Recovery.

Greece on the other hand, a Xenophobic and Highly Racist Country especially against Black Africans. Is in a Financial Mess that will take about Three or Four Generations of Greeks, to get out of.

Greece got into its Financial Mess in the first place, because, it does not include Foreigners in her Economic Life. Immigrants in Greece, live on the Fringes of Society.

I know Black Africans in Greece, that, has been living there since the 70's. They Born their Children in Greece and their Children are having Children now. Their Children Mother Tongue is Greek. Yet the Greek Government does not Recognize them as part of the Society.

They still have to apply for a yearly resident permit. Three Generations?!!!.

Many still Live as Illegal Immigrants when the Greek Government refuses to renew their Permit.

There is no Hope for the Greek Economy in the Foreseeable Future.

If you think about it, you will see that the countries that welcome Immigrants are always well off. Like, USA, UK, CANADA, etc...

This is why I say that, those Nations that the Gods want to punish Economically, are the ones, that drive away foreigners from their Country.

We all have to support the South African Government, in educating this people, and removing the Root Cause of Xenophobia, which is severe Poverty.

We should not allow Ignorance, to Massacre Mandela's Dream for South Africa.

NIGERIAN CULTURE OF EFFICY

NIGERIAN CULTURE OF EFFICY

The Yoruba Language, spoken by the Yoruba People of the western part of Nigeria, is an interesting language.

It is one of the oldest languages in the world; I read somewhere years back when I was in College in Greece, that the Hebrew language developed from a language that has its roots in the Yoruba language.

Most languages of the world today, have some words that have its roots in the Yoruba Language.

I actually believe that the Greek Language and the Greek People are Descendants of the Yoruba People, due to the similarity in the Greek Language structure and Yoruba, the Greek Culture and Yoruba Culture, the Greek Mentality and Yoruba Mentality.

The similarity of these two Peoples is too overwhelming to be a coincidence.

What arouses my interest in the language is, its dynamism, although it originates in Nigeria, it is spoken in the Republic of Benin, Cuba, Brazil, and in Religious Ceremonies in Haiti, actually, in the Haitian religious system, it is believed that; after death the Soul travels back to Ile-Ife the Paradise.

Ile-Ife on Co-Ordinates: Longitude: 7°28’14.54″N and Latitude: 4°33’23.94″E. In the West of Nigeria; is believed to be the physical and Spiritual Center of the World, it is believed in Yoruba etymology that Ile-Ife is the SOURCE of all humans in the World today. Even the name Adam is a Yoruba word- Adamo=Created from Clay.

Yoruba is spoken in more than fifty dialects in Nigeria with each generation adding its own slang; although an ancient language this flexibility makes Yoruba a modern language to each generation.

The latest addition into the Yoruba vocabulary is the word “EFFICY”.

This word was coined into the Yoruba Language by the “419 Boys” (The Notorious Nigerian Scammers in Lagos).

This word EFFICY originates from the English word EFFECT, like in Film Effect, to make what is not appearing real.
This word EFFICY is commonly used today as a Yoruba word among the youths, for example, if a girl is well dressed and made-up, her friends may say, this EFFICY (i.e. make believe) of yours is Superb, meant as a compliment.

I was thinking of the above and my beloved Country of Birth yesterday evening, upon my bed; before I drifted into the unknown world of Dreams, then my mind drifted to a scene that happened in the mid-nineties, in my adopted Country, Finland.

I went into the MEMPHIS Restaurant and Cafeteria, right in the Center of Helsinki, to have an evening tea; MEMPHIS is famous for her Floor to Roof Glass Windows, I took my sit at an empty table beside the window, as I settled down, I saw by the window sill a golden cased NOKIA phone that was just released into the market in Finland the previous week, this latest Nokia phone was selling for about $800 USD. I picked the phone and gave it to the service person at the bar and went back to my table.

As I was enjoying my evening tea about fifteen minutes later, a gentle man between the age of thirty two and thirty five years old; dressed in a business suit carrying a portfolio rushed into the Cafeteria side of the Restaurant and came straight at my table, his eyes searching the breath and length of the wide window and its sill.

In the typically Shy, Polite, Respectful and Civilized Finnish way of handling things, the man did not say a word to me. I was curious to see if he will talk to me first, he just walk up and down the Cafeteria, his eyes scorching the window sill.

When I was sure, he is not about to ask me anything, I asked him, if I can help him, then he said, “I think, I left my phone somewhere here”.
I took him to the bar, told the bar person who was busy attending to other customers, that, this man is the owner of the mobile phone that I gave her.

After he has collected his phone, he came to my table to thank me and offer to buy me any drink of my choice. I thanked him, and told him not to bother repaying me for doing my duty. He gave me his business card and say if I ever need any help in Finland, I should not hesitate to call on him.

Then he asked me what Country I came from, I told him Nigeria. He was so shocked that I thought he is going to have a heart attack. When he recovered from his initial shock, he sat at my table and asked me if I am sure that I am a Nigerian. I said I am. Then he said, if I am a Nigerian; how come I return his expensive Mobile Phone, because he receive scam letters from Nigerian Criminals on a daily basis, letters that has ran into hundreds by then.

That incident happened over twenty years ago and the “419 Boys” Scammers are still waxing strong in Nigeria today, my drowsiness left me I became saddened and wide awake thinking; why the Nigerian Government has not stopped this Cankerous Epidemic that has destroyed the Image of Nigeria and Nigerians in the World Community.

In this Saddened and Sleepless State, I realized that, why the so called Nigerian Government cannot stop the “419” epidemic is because the Government itself is a 419 Scam – an EFFICY – like everything else in the Nigerian Factor.

Nothing is what they seem. In Nigeria, the Government is not a Government, a Police Man is not a Police Man, Power Authority is not generating Energy, a Taxi is not a Taxi, an Hospital is not a Hospital, an Institution of Higher Learning is not what it is suppose to be, the Air Port is not an Airport, a Hotel is not an Hotel, everything is just an Illusion of the real thing in other Countries.

In Intelligent Countries of the World, the purpose of a Government is to Serve, Nurture, Plan and Provide for her Citizens.
In Nigeria the purpose of Government is to oppress the Citizens, Destroy the Middle Class, and Plunder the National Wealth, Siphon Stolen Money to Foreign Banks, the Nigerian Government is not performing the Functions of a Real Government, so, the Nigerian Government is a 419 Scam, a Make Believe an Illusion an EFFICY.

The purpose of a Police Force in any Nation is to preserve Law and Order, uphold Peace and Justice.

Nigeria too has a Police Force, like any other Nation in the World, only the Nigerian Police Force is the Arbiter of Corruption (One Inspector General of the Nigerian Police was once caught with Millions of Nigerian Naira, Pound Sterling and US Dollars) hidden in his Office. The Nigerian Police is the embodiment of Lawlessness, Disorder, Sorrow and Injustice.

So, the Nigerian Police Force is a fake Organization it is a 419 Scam, an EFFICY.

Every Country has a Power Generating Corporation, that supply Electricity to the People of that Country, Nigeria has too, it is called NEPA, for the past 40years with Billions of US Dollars spent on Energy, Nigerians are yet to see the Light. So NEPA is a Scam a 419 an EFFICY.

Not to tire my readers, the above happens in all areas of human Endeavor in Nigeria. Education, Aviation, Military, Communication e.t.c.

The Chibok Girls Saga, vindicates what I wrote above. Nigerian Army is probably the Biggest Army in Africa. With Billions of US Dollars spent on Security Annually.
Yet the Nigerian Military is unable to wipe out a rag-tag BOKO HARAM off the Surface of the Earth. Why? !!!

Because the Nigerian Army has turned into a 419 Enterprise, a Make Belief an Illusion of what a National Army are elsewhere. The Nigerian Generals are interested only in making their Thieving Fortune in the Nigerian Oil Industry.
They are less concerned with the Security of the Country, because they know that if Push comes to Shove, they will run away to England or America to enjoy their Nigerian Stolen Wealth.
So the Nigerian Army is a Scam a 419 an EFFICY.

If our Leaders are Serious in Making our Country a Truly Great Nation, they should throw away their Agbada and all other Flowing Gowns, put on their Khaki Knickers and Roll Up Their Sleeves.

The job of Building a Nation is a Very Serious Business; it is one of the Highest Honors that can be given to a Person. It is not a Position to Amass Wealth and have a Good Time, to Collect all Types of Allowances including Costume Allowance, while Refusing to increase the Minimum Wage in the Country from $50 USD to $100 USD Per Month, this is Repulsive, Inhuman and Unjust, it is like giving Men’s Jobs to Boys, only CLOWNS working in Children Department of Television Stations receive Costume Allowance.
This is a Time for our Nation Building, it is not a Party time Yet.
