If you insist on talking or writing about the war in the Ukraine kindly get your facts right and do not repeat the one-sided, subjective and monotonous clap…
I deplore and condemn the barbaric killings and vicious barbarism that has been unleashed against a mainly defenceless and helpless civilian population in the Ukraine.
Yet the bitter truth is that all that President Volodymyr Zelensky has to do to stop the relentless slaughter of his people is to state clearly and categorically that the Ukraine will NEVER join NATO, that the Ukraine will NEVER allow foreign military bases on her soil and that the Ukraine will MAINTAIN her neutrality like Sweden and Finland.
In rain or shine, in war or peace, in good or bad, in pleasure or pain, in plenty or want: never regret anything and always put on a brave and strong smile, confounding your enemies and giving thanks to God.
Never let your guard down and always remember that lions do not back down or take prisoners when they face their adversaries or when they are caught in a fight.
Instead they stand firm, never retreating, and they fight to the end either securing a great and glorious victory or die trying in the process.
Bring light where there is darkness, joy where there is pain, hope where there is despair and respite where there is suffering.
Fear not the mighty, be strong and confident in all circumstances, uphold the truth and defend the weak.
Ignore the mockers, the scoffers, the haters, the unbelievers, the children of perdition, the spawn of satan, the accusers of the brethren and the creature from the waters.
Expose the 'strange woman', the sorceress and the bride of Lucifer and treat with contempt the daughters of Jezebel, Athalia, Gomer, Dalilah and the emissaries of the Queen of the Coast.
In the last few weeks there has been a remarkable and devastating onslaught on the killer bandits and murderous terrorists of North Western Nigeria.
Zamfara state has been the model case and other North Western states including Katsina, Kaduna, Sokoto, Jigawa, Kebbi and Niger state have taken the cue and have also risen to the occassion.
For a man that has the courage of his convictions and that is prepared to stand for his people and, if need be, sacrifice all, including his liberty and life, I have nothing but admiration and respect.
Chief Sunday Adeyemo, who is better known as Sunday Igboho Oosa, is such a man.
Like Lord Babington Macauly's 'Horatious' in his famous prose titled 'Lays of Ancient Rome' he has sought to defend the people of South Western Nigeria from the barbarians at our gate and he has openly resisted and rebelled against the seemingly unbeatable and irresistable forces of slavery, nepotism, subjugation, racism, tyranny and terror that have sought to overwhelm and consumme us.
There was a man I knew who helped a former Head of State's wife gain access to her husband whilst the latter was in detention and when his life was in danger, even though he had never met him.
"Africans do not celebrate great men. They rather take delight in celebrating mediocre men. Africans happily destroy great men and if possible look for their mistakes to nail them. So…
"And the Lord asked Cain, 'where is thy brother Abel?' And he said 'I know not: am I my brother's keeper?'
And the Lord said, 'what have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground'- Genesis 4: 9-10.
The imbecile called David Cameron, who is a former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, needs to be taught a lesson or two. He also needs to be reminded about the sordid and filthy history of his country.
On May 14, 1948, the day the British Mandate expired, the new Jewish state, known as the State of Israel, was formally established in parts of what was known as the British Mandate for Palestine.
With the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Jewish independence was restored after 2,000 years.
In 1842 Thomas Babington Macauly wrote my favourite poem titled 'Horatius at the Gate' and made a point that we can all learn from in Nigeria today. He wrote:
