War and Violence

ICC And the Dilemma of African Rulers

Kenya may be pulling out of ICC. Many African countries may follow suit.

The ICC was supposed to be a place to bring criminals to judgement irrespective of continents or affiliations.

Unfortunately it has turned out to be a place primarily for the prosecution of war criminals from Africa. These criminals are serving and ex-dictators or rulers from Africa.

It’s sad because whilst it serves as a deterrent or likely deterrent for future war crimes, it is essentially a discriminatory or racial institution.

Why have war criminals from Britain and America not been prosecuted or even served warrant of arrest? Are some race or countries more equal than others? The answer is yes if we go by the standard by which this world is run.

Not that I like any stupid dictator from Africa (an inch). I think the problems from Africa are obvious because of the stupid ways many of the continent dictators and civilian rulers plunder their countries. That makes their crimes too obvious but not more serious than the drones and rockets that have sent children and other people to their early graves in countries targeted by NATO, Britain and America.

If ICC will stand the test of time, the prosecution of war criminals and those who committed crimes against humanity must be across board. If a British Prime Minister or an American president cannot be prosecuted for war crimes then the ICC should be scrapped immediately. As it is now, it is a useless organisation and a racial instrument.

Northern Nigeria: It is Finished!

Terrorists continue to rein terror on Northern Nigeria. It is impossible to keep track of all the attacks and killings in Northern Nigeria.

A bus exploded in Kano killing mainly easterners of Igbo descent, probably about 30 of them.

There were attacks in Borno and the list goes on.

In Northern Nigeria, the lazy governors all collect security votes every month from the oil revenue of the south. What do they do with the security votes when terrorists have taken over the government?

Northern Nigeria is probably a lost region and that makes the segregation of Nigeria on course, or not.

Well, I want to be on the side of the people who have suggested that the clueless Goodluck Jonathan will be Nigeria’s last president.

I will change sides if someone can tell me how elections will be successfully conducted in Boko Harm Northern Nigeria. Perhaps Goodluck is
counting on Obama’s drones to eliminate the terror. That could work anyway and it means the drones will be there forever.

How I wish the people of western Nigeria can start to think ahead and rescue their people now and forever.

My twitter updates coming in says that there have been more suicide bombings and all sorts of terror attacks in the north…you can’t even finish writing about one before the next comes in.

Please divide this nonsense country and let me know where to place my worries for the Yoruba race.

3 Lebanese, 1 Briton, 1 British, 1 Greek, 1 Philippino and 1 Italian murdered in Terrorist- Occupied Northern Nigeria

Jama’atu Ansarul Muslimina fi Biladis Sudan, otherwise known as JAMBS has claimed that it killed 7 foreigners kidnapped in Bauchi State Nigeria.

If the world was sleeping before now, maybe it is now awake.

If anyone was in doubt that Northern Nigeria is in the hands of terrorists, maybe that doubt has now been cleared.

You can tell that the system of government in Nigeria is a complete fraudulent system where money comes in from the oil region and is paid directly to the state governments. In some northern states, these monies have been used to sponsor terrorism: that was why Jonathan said that Boko Haram was in his government.

Now Boko Haram has a breakaway group even more deadly than Boko Haram.

Since the system of government and the nature of Nigerian politics are all about fraud and been irresponsible to the citizenry, it has been relatively easy for terrorists to establish themselves in northern Nigeria.

Nigeria is not working and those still clamoring for the continuity of Nigeria are either selfish or shallow minded. For example, I will not be able to associate myself with the terrorist-occupied Northern Nigeria. How then can I say that those terrorist and myself are from the same country? I forbid that.

I am a yorubaman and not a fellow citizen with the fools killing foreigners. They do not represent me and they are not close to my line of thoughts and way of life.

More importantly we now have a wake up call to their resolve Nigeria’s problems through the constitution and referendum or keep with the terror from the north and maladministration from the center. The 2 latter receipts are sure bets for violent disintegration of the British invention of 1914 called Nigeria.

So, Goodluck Jonathan’s visit shuts down Maiduguri!

Nigeria’s ruler is visiting Borno State on Friday the 8th of March 2013 and it appears the state has shut down already.

Reports have it that the “entire” Nigerian security has been deplored to Borno State with high and tight security in place ahead of the president’s visit.

Residents are in panic and have piled up food and provision as it seems that there will be movement in Borno State on Friday.

In my opinion this is a very sad development from several perspectives.

This visit will not allow the ruler of Nigeria to see firsthand how the people of the states have lived under normal circumstances being murdered and decimated daily by terrorists (aka Boko Haram) and through government recklessness/maladministration.

Goodluck Jonathan may be visiting Borno State as a ghost town. Little wonder he said he can’t grant amnesty to ghosts. Of course he won’t see any terrorist during his visit because the state if shut down for his visit. If he is unlucky Boko Haram may disguise and blend in with his security men and do a great harm. A ghost town sometimes is more dangerous than the town of the living.

But trust the deceit of governments in Nigeria. They can rent a crowd at any time, t, and moment m. they can even bring the government-owned crowd from Abuja.

Does anyone remember the mad women and other people who demonstrated against Wole Soyinka recently? Some people in Nigeria are inexplicable useless and worthless, like the ones who organized and participated in the “rent a crowd” against Wole Soyinka after he took Patience Jonathan to the cleaners.

In any case, as per the matter at hand, would it have been out of place if Goodluck Jonathan paid an unannounced, unscheduled visit to Maiduguri?

That would have given him the opportunity to see a real life situation of life in Borno State.

This is a state that collects money from the Niger Delta oil revenue every month and yet provides no form of security for the people living in the state. Borno State doesn’t appear to be under the control of the Nigerian government. All types of terrorism network are fully established in Borno State. They come from far and near and settle in Borno. They are above the law and above the government of Borno. They have network across northern Nigeria.

In the past 2 years it is hard to know if a governor representing the Nigerian government exists in Borno State.

Suddenly the governor is giving a Friday-holiday. Why? What for?

The streets are already drying up of human and commercial activities. The holiday further makes it official that no one is expected to be on the streets when the ruler of Nigeria comes visiting.

How would Jonathan be able to access the real situation on ground after creating an artificial environment for his visit? I think, before his arrival, the purpose of the visit is defeated. For me a visit to a ghost town is useless. Why not visit the grave year instead?

Connecticut school shooting: Between the constitution and common sense

Americans continue to pay with the blood of the innocent and ordinary people. The saddest part is when children are murdered.

It is unimaginable how the constitution remains supreme in the face of reality that can be dictated by common sense.

It is not working when the second amendment or the constitution says that people have the right to carry arms for their protection.

There will be no need for that if nobody is allowed to carried gun and no one is being protected from mad people with guns.

You can’t start telling teachers and children 4-10 years to start carrying guns to defend themselves. Your constitution says that but common sense states otherwise.

Leave the guns in the hands of law enforcers who have been trained for that.

Take the guns away from everybody with very few exceptions. There are people living in the bush who are hunters.

There was an insane man who shot people at the Batman premier and now children have been killed by another crazy person because that is what the constitution states.

Common! When are you going to be tired of listening to emotional speeches from your presidents? Is that the reprieve your desire?

I think a society free from guns is the long lasting solution to these regular shootings in America.

Of course crimes will be committed with guns but the road to a more secure society and a safer country for Americans will definitely be to do away with the sentimental attachments to the constitution.

It is time to do some things with common sense
