''The claim that the igbo helped to develop Lagos is hogwash. The major institutions of the south-west were developed by the diligence, hard-work, industry and sweat of the yoruba people. This is a historical fact'' Femi Fani-Kayode
Bradley Manning exposed the activities of US assassination squads in the Middle East. He is my hero. Julian Assange exposed the illicit activities of US diplomats and foreign governments. He is my hero. George Galloway stands for truth and consistently exposes the hypocrisy and double standards of American Middle Eastern and foreign policy.
I received the following short note from my dear friend Pastor Yinka Akintunde who is a London-based Pastor and a highly respected writer and author. I have his permission to share it with you.
According to the respected islamic scholar Professor Ishaq Akintola there is 'no age restriction in islamic marriage'. He may well be right and I honestly believe that islam, like christianity, is a humane and compassionate faith which seeks to protect the weak and guide its adherents on the path of righteousness and light.
The Nigerian Senate includes some of the brightest minds in our country many of whom are friends of mine and most of whom have been in active politics for many years. They have my respect. However what transpired in the Senate chamber a few days ago was a great cause for concern for not just me but millions of Nigerians from all over the world. How an innocent and seemingly uninteresting, uninspiring and unimportant debate about when and at what age a Nigerian citizen could legitimately and lawfully renounce his or her citizenship turned into a referendum on paedophilia and child marriage I dont know.
''Nigeria has many uncountable problems and none of them is early marriage. As a matter of fact early marriage the solution to about half of our problems. For those who wonder if I can give my daughter(s) out in marriage at the age of 9 or 13, I tell you most honestly, I can give her out at the age of 6 if I want to and its not your business.
In an attempt to apprehend Mr. Edward Snowdon a plane that was carrying the President of Bolivia, Eva Morales, was diverted to Austria on its way back to Bolivia from Russia. France and Portugal, based on intelligence reports from the Americans, closed their airspace to the plane because they believed that Snowdon was on it and that he was being secretly smuggled back to Bolivia.
President George W. Bush did a lot for Africa with his PEPFA initiative which saved the lives of millions and protected them from aids and his AGOA initiative which helped African businesses to grow by opening up the American market to their products. By way of contrast President Barack Obama has done next to nothing for Africa and has in fact dramatically reduced aid, trade and support for our continent.
Oh dear.......the Americans have now been caught spying on even their European friends. The American National Security Agency (aka ''No Such Agency") have bugged the telephones and internet activities of government officials, government buildings and foreign embassies of their closest allies in the world. The Europeans, quite rightly, have not taken the matter lightly.
He wears the ring of the Baphomet and he is a lover of women. He rides them like a devil, with a deep and ferocious passion. They fall in love with him instantly yet he cannot be reigned in or controlled. He is a danger to women. He is wild and free. He walks out of the room coldly, moves on and leaves them behind. Yet thoughts of himcontinue to ravage their minds and threaten to drive them insane. They are victims of his Baphomet spell. They feel sad, humiliated and used. They say to themselves ''if I can't have him, no-one will have him''. They plan to destroy him. He is the object of their love and hate all at once.
She is not the evil one and neither is she accursed…..I am.
She was the kindest person I ever knew. She had a divine prescence….she was tranquility.
Her gentle smile…
A great speech by Barack Obama in Berlin. I'm touched and encouraged by his words. A black man now leads the free world and a woman leads great Germany? Hitler, Goebbes, Goring and Himmler must be turning in their graves right now and weeping profusely.
