Finally Nigeria is doing something about it

FINALLY NIGERIA IS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT


I’ve waited so eagerly and so have all the people that care about the lives of the innocent Africans dying in South Africa as a result of some people’s thoughtlessness, and as is almost always the case with Nigeria, we delay response, but to hear the Nigerian senate demand for a recall of her ambassador to SA, and asking that the king of Zulu be petitioned to the ICC is something we waited for too long.

It is no news that blacks hate blacks. I have no issues, as I am sure most of us don’t, with brothers quarreling with brothers, but if that quarrel makes you throw reasoning out the window, then you must think again. Rwandans can at least tell how long it took for them to recover from the genocide of 1994   between the Hutus and the Tutsis. The Modakeke & Ife people, Tiv & Jukun people, etc, can all tell with evidence that brothers quarrel, but that is as far as it goes.

South Africa has gone beyond its boundaries, and in addition to recalling her ambassador and petitioning the ICC, Nigeria should stamp her feet, by redefining her international diplomatic policies, and make clear that the killing of Nigerians abroad will not be taken lightly. The Nigerian government has to show to the world that her citizens mean much to her.

While I will maintain that Nigerians keep teaching South Africans living in Nigeria what love means, we must make sure that we are not taken for granted anymore as a country.


By the way, I applaud the efforts of the many South Africans who have stood up against this madness, and urge them to continue to do that against the few bad eggs, because at some points in time, we all are strangers in someone else’s land.

TRUE LIFE STORY OF A MIGRANT

TRUE LIFE STORY OF A MIGRANT My name? You can call me Ese. I am eighteen years old, from Edo state. Two months ago, a friend of my aunt came to our house and said she could help me get a job abroad, she said she knows someone there who has been helping other people. We only had to provide about Six Hundred thousand naira for my transport to the Libya. My aunt, my mum and my elder brother all gathered the money and gave me some extra for the trip. Two weeks later, we were ready for the trip.  From Edo state, we were transported to Kano, and then Katsina, and, I don’t know the names of all the places, but they said they had to follow that particular road because of Immigration and other officers that collect money from them on the road. We went through several bush paths and un-tarred road in a long lorry until we were completely in the desert. More than ninety percent of us girls were from Edo state and I think all the boys were Ibo because they were speaking more of Ibo lan

QUOTES ON MONEY/FINANCE/RICHES In addition to all the quotes I have posted several times on this blog, find here quotes on money that must shape your attitude to money everyday: -          A man’s life does not consist in the abundance of things that he possesses. – Luke 12:15, The Holy Bible -          Money: everyone seems to have different attitudes to it. – Ola Barnabas -          Neither poverty nor wealth is in the wallet. They are all in the mind. – Ola Barnabas -          Make no mistake, my friend, it takes more than money to make men rich. – A.P. Gouthey -          The wretchedness of being rich is that you live with rich people. – Logan Pearsall Smith -          ‘Enough’ is not in the volume of money owned or size of one’s account. It is in the needs that can be consistently met without having to work for money anymore. – Ola Barnabas -          No good man became suddenly rich. – Publius Syrus      -          My riches consist n

I have no Issues with South Africa, just this

HELLO SOUTH AFRICA I sympathize with you. I sympathize that in this age and time, your mind can be so debased and reprobate enough as to allow you descend to the level that you did recently with your xenophobic attacks on other Africans living in your country. I sympathize with you, not because you got angry, we all do, but that your anger was largely undefined. I sympathize with you that wrapped around your neck is the gloom of apartheid we all thought we supported you to overcome. I sympathize with you that you easily forgot the help that other countries render to you in your time of need, just because of a little unease and discomfort that you feel. Need I remind you the role that Nigeria as well as other African brothers played in redeeming you from the hands of your captors? I sympathize with you that you have time and time again shown that, through these attacks you are showing of what stuff you are truly made. I would have kept quiet and expect that thi
