THE JOURNEY SO FAR - NIGERIA, THE SLEEPING GIANT OF AFRICA


The turn of events in Africa with regards to imperialist manifestation hurts, to say the least. While Gaddafi has been waging a loner war against the international mafia organization and their puritan two-faced dealings in Africa, he too forgot that posterity never sleeps, thus he too has eaten of the fat cake of posterity. There is a pull of event trying to drag or wreck havoc on most vibrant and outspoken African countries, starting from the Muslim north, ethno divided central Africa, down to the ethno-religious West and Southern African. East Africa is a little bit on the grid, and I am sure there is an ongoing plans by the International Economic Hitmen to siphon and ransack those countries.


How can a man who has been the Emperor of Libya for over 40 years, which is the quotient leaders summation of an entire generation, According to Adeola Aderounmu in one of our discourse said "What would it have cost him to have prepared Libyans for the future, say at worst 20 years ago?" Irrespective of the argument, the question didn't for once come as a shocker, but the obvious.


Although Gaddafi would have shown his gratitude to Libya and Libyans over 20yrs ago, instead decided to fight a battle as alone, thereby leaving the Libyans in the dark. With regard to a highly sensitive security report, it was part of the strategist, the antagonist used in pushing their point home, thus spurring the Libyan opposition to wage a fierce revolution against Gaddafi. It is true that Gaddafi knew a lot, and will be ready to open his mouth to spout classified secrets which are as old as civilization itself. 'He had so much time on his hand but he decided to make himself a messiah, But he is not' said Adeola.


Chinua Achebe in his book, Things Fall Apart, "....when things fall apart, the centre cannot hold...", as sad events has taken a hold in North Africa, starting from Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt and Libya, which is of recent, Things have now fallen apart in Libya. We are saw how the international 'eye' begin to prostitute like whores in matters which the AU could handle; but since the international community do not trust Gaddafi as per his commitment towards Uniting Africa, using the AU as a tool to achieving solidarity and a virile Africa Union.


Gadhafi will not get a well-deserved exit, that we known. But should we then prefer the bigger evil with their sponsored propaganda than the less evil? An Intelligent report also revealed that, Gaddafi was on the verge of making history with his "King of Kings" Psychosis when he was nabbed by the International "Economic Hitmen". It will not be on his terms after all, it will end up being the people's desires. But do these people know the underlying economic politics behind the crisis in Libya, do they think it's as part of Gaddafi trying to perpetuate him and his acolyte in office are all what the international media really conveys to the viewing global laboratory (Africa) and specimens (African)?


Gadhafi may also well be the victim of the usual international conspiracy, as reiterated above. Even though we may not have solid proofs as to this regard, in my article on the 'Africa Intelligentsia' I opined that history still inundate certain probabilities, such as these white supremacist of the West, and the NWO, which includes Asia and their Middle-East Jihadist Butchers. The international politics and abracadabra is too dirty for any moral nation, and just as It's a crazy world totally. You'll never find a resting place for the blame game, yet the blame continues!


You can't find it even in Ivory Coast where one man is claiming victory and he's backed by the crazy international community, while the other is backed by Pan-Africanism. The sum total of all this foolishness and the common madness of men is that their fellow beings are killing one another in the name of loyalties. Experience will tell you that it is all a game of chess by our foes, who have made Africa and Africans their laboratory and specimen in their advance level science conspiracy game perpetuated by the Imperialist international community.


Even though the International cadre of actors in this inhuman experimentation on several occasions had debunked this conspiracy games, it is a fact. From the Book "Web of Deceit: Britain's real role in the world" by - Mark Curtis. Curtis went further to explained in his overall experience called this conspiracy theory "POLYARCHY." thus:


"Polyarchy - A system in which a small group actually rules and mass participation is confined to choosing leaders in elections managed by competing elites. Those who win in elections become largely insulated from the public so that they can 'effectively govern'. Between elections, those who control the state are largely free from serious accountability to the public.


Polyarchy has been described as a form of 'consensual domination' where (competing) elites control the state while popular forces and civil society groups are subject to the hegemony of the elite. In contrast to polyarchy stands 'popular democracy', where public participation is much greater and civil society groups are able to use the state to promote their interests. Here, mobilisation within civil society would be the principal way in which political power is exercised."


It's sad because if not for madness and stupidity the two Ivorian presidents should meet face to face, discuss the way forward for their fellow citizens, give each other warm embrace, one step down for the other and the other ensure that as the president he ensures such justice that will promote peace and prosperity in Ivory Coast. The greatest service will be to avoid the type of mistakes that led to the present predicament and to ensure that now and in the future that Ivory Coast can solve her problems without the bias intervention of the useless international community.


One of the greatest achievements of the international community is the spread of both disharmony and war. Africa is easy target because of the greed and senselessness of the rulers there. It pains and hurts to come from a continent where foolishness and evil reign over good. It's disheartening that a lot of things in Africa are decided by people outside of the continent.


One would wish that the changes sweeping through the North of Africa will continue to prosper the people. Yes, prosper. North Africa is prosperous and the leaders have not been totally foolish like other parts of Africa especially Western Africa. Take Nigeria for example and see foolishness of the rulers. Nigeria generates less than 3 000MW of Energy. For a nation of 150m that is probably the most absurd thing on earth. In addition over 15 million dollars have been spent on that project since 1999 with no apparent progress because some people like Gen Obasanjo and his cronies stole the money.


If they didn't steal the money then Nigeria should be experiencing over supply of power by now but right now Nigeria is covered by total darkness. So Africa really pains me. My heart bleeds daily. Add these wars to diseases, ignorance, illiteracy and the loads of problems in Africa, and then you ask, will Africa ever be at peace? Will Africa ever be free from foreign inference in all her politics and economy in the name of 'International Comity agreement or pact'? These are some of the underlying questions one need to ask the UN and their Five 'Marauders' who continue to feed the global audience with half truths, conspiracies and fabrications.


There are too many problems in Africa and they won't be solved until Africans wake up and live up to the challenges of the present century. What will trigger this awakening in Africa and make it a general conscious thought along the line of Common Good? When we know the answer, we will get on the right track. And with the prospect of Africa's emerging youth force, the theory of the game is about to change. The answers of the old laws cannot remain in a comatose, it must indeed through a network of virile youth network remain dynamic. Unfortunately, majority of our brother and sister youths and comrades in North Africa are already being brainwashed and misguided; their principle of revolution is already being compromised.


In the application of history, commonsense has already unveil to us the journey so far, the International Marauder's almighty formula - "The International political Abracadabra" and the unholy stimulation of the aids given to Africa and its constituent states, which did Africa more harm than good. We must wake up from out slumber while it is not yet dawn, only in such moment will the enemy strike. There is a war on the reclaim of Africa, and we must not allow ourselves, our nations and continent to remain lab-rats in this International controlled experiments championed by the UN.


The "Five Marauders" has before now uncovered a strong material evidence of the structures and formations of the AU led by Mummar Gaddafi through their Ankansic (Telepathy), and are bent at ensuring that Africa and Africans do not emancipate from its present quagmire. Before now, many African leaders were stooges to the financial and connective mercies of the Five Marauders; but trust me, the very day they warned off knowing that the milk was truly sour, they were starved. Some quickly returned, while others challenge their Godfathers why the milk was sour; a full grown man still sucking milking is a complete fool. Afterall we are not Israelite boys that are warn in their 4yrs of age, we are Africans - a people who's culture predates humanity and civilization.


Scattered in the nooks and crannies of Africa states lies "Economic Hit Men" from the West, Asia and their Arabia jihadist and racist. For those of us who can add few puzzles through cytological synthesis are either called weirdo or tag us as freaks, but hello there, the big bang will happen soon that will serve as a shocker to us all; we may either be living then or will be dead, as they who are fostering this unholy, inhuman and dastardly act against Africa do not care whether Africans live or die, in as much as they are continuously tapping her resources and making huge profits by sponsoring internal crisis, and securing several properties, how is this their concern? No wonder Mugabe was so violent with the West and drove them out of Mozambique. But Foolish Nigeria Government, accept them through their errand stooge Saraki of Ilorin. Before this time, we already know their undercover operations to fuel ethnic and religious divides in Nigeria, and the oil war in Niger Delta.


Whether there is war, hunger, disease or death? Some of these conglomerates in their progeny still comes in the form of deceptive 'Aid' from their sister company called the "Investigative Assassin" all to further enslave us. We have forgotten in a rush the adage that ' there is never a free lunch', this quotes was culled from the behavioural excesses of some of the greatest imperialist ever known to mankind, and we use this quote every day.


Whilst in the intelligence community, more strategies are being designed each day to train "muses" and send them to the field. You may want to ask where is this 'Field', read this sentence careful; the 'field' herein connotes, and which is an economic code-name representing "Africa", and any other place portioned out by the Pioneers of the New World Order (NWO), which is an offshoot the 11 illuminati families and their collaboration with of the Big-five and their acolytes ready to lunch "The Final Arsenal" on innocent African lives for their experiments, while they continue to empower and feed those sell-out African leaders and elites with hot coffees of death, only to spike their lives in a minute when they are done making use of them.



For those who refuse to eat the poisoned cake and drink the cyanide infested coffee are either castigated through highly mechanized propagandas or through assassination by proxy or otherwise. For those who later realize the diabolic nature of these several 'tooth-for-life' bait of the master-chess players, who were former stooges; those who refuses to bend to their old rules are either condemned before their people by inciting revolution against them; or they just hire a misguided assassins to 'finish' them.

The rules of the game continues, we are dealing with a highly evolved International criminals. These are not mere criminals, as in personified in nature; this is a criminality of the deadliest nature perpetuated by countries and nation states of the West (Europe and America), middle east Arabia and some vampiric butchers from Asia in conjunction with their sister conglomerates Middle East in their worldwide network of Advanced Slavery.

Nigeria held her Presidential election, in the months of April 2011. The International were watching, indeed we all knew the double standard  that were perpetuated by the global offices of deception, with Britain and US as grand patrons. It will surprise Africans and Nigerians in particular that Nigeria is a centre where all sort of experiments are conduct, where all sort of theories are tested; it is actually a funny world! The national debate is another experiments to ensure their compliance with the so called International modus operandi of Democracy of spotting leaders with agenda and clear cut perspectives as against their puppets, having two distinct thoughts in their mind; if they will offload their support from their puppets or continue to feed them with poisonous milk until they die slowly.

Whilst they do otherwise, the leaders without their support hardly succeed as they are in charge of all tools of an organized society, cell-phones, cable networks, banks, business, commercial activities, etc, they exploit every avenues to frustrate those in their death-books, or checkers' list.

While the Nigerian Presidential debate may be a litmus test for the Western, Asian and Middle-Eastern abracadabra, more than 150 million Nigerians are still blind to the realities of this clandestine operations being conducted in Nigeria's soil. The bomb lasts, religious crisis, Militancy, political fraud, sacred-cows, the blue-bloods, etc are not mere coincidence.

This same experiment will be replicated in other nations of Africa; examples are scattered all over north African countries and their misguided revolutions going on there. The covert message has been sent already, so it doesn't matter anymore the underlying factors. One can then imagine how a little crisis of Bread-seller being humiliated will lead to widespread revolt, how a minor assaults, which is high secularized in the west could be inflated by paid propagandist overnight; that is where the African people are not adding the 'Dots' here. And looking into the historical and political antecedence of these countries, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt and now Libya, one will wonder what is happening.

Down home, there is widespread corruption and political lunacy by government officials, inhumanity caused by government and its agents such as violations of the UN human right ethics is not being centered on, police brutality, militarization of the Niger Delta, etc. Yet they are quick to mirror the innocence of meaninglessness of issues on national agenda, while they become brutal when such issues refract back to rectangular prism where the manifestation emanates from.

All hell is let loose only when the preparatory sign-post lost favour in their sight will they, through their nitwit mechanized half-truth and fabricated propaganda boldly and selfishly recounts the hidden misgivings of fraud, grafts and misconducts. Now who is at their mercy, the people, or the leaders who have lost favour? I say none, as their deceptive half truth is detrimental to our unity as a people; why is does it always become sour, and we become emotional in their none reactions to our local issues as they are our father and mother, when they really do not care about peace and development in Nigeria as a microcosm; if they care as they claim would have discourage swizz bank from accepting stolen or unaccounted monies from Nigerian leaders; perhaps shielding the financial inactions of those in their good books.

They order us already like slaves; go to their high commissions here in Nigeria, the US and Britain taking the lead, and see the height of inhumanity against us in our own soil. What about their representative - Multinational oil and blue chip giants? Perhaps a quick visit should be paid to various host oil bearing communities in Delta, Ondo, Edo, Rivers and Bayelsa respectively; the people here are being treated in the worst demean form like animals. They breath poisonous gas, their rivers polluted and their means of livelihood destroyed. What more do we see, we see our government becoming boy-boy to them only to use the divide and rule tactics to force the hand of government to lunch a full military operations on innocent people; what more can we infer to this senseless and deceptive aids to us, or monitory our democracies when they have done nothing than fuel violence and internal terrorism by the government against its people and local guerrillas who get their guns and WMDs from these two-faced butchers?

Unfortunately these money-cursed leaders are digging their mass grave already. Woe to them should they lack the favours from their associates in doom, that very day their secrets; how they starched money in swizz banks will be brought to bear, to what end, hypothetically speaking, these are co-hypocrites and conspirators. Hello, are we missing something here? Didn't these spotted-eyes not seen these financial misappropriations and other matters before now? Why did they have to wait until when the mysteries was leaked? This is what is not making sense here, and the earlier we start thinking fast the better for us, so we won't be taken for a ride by these half-breeds, or whatever medium they may be operating from; whether in my father's backyard; whether covertly or overtly, I really don't care, and I am also sure, hundreds if not thousands of Africans already knows this facts; I believe they also don't care either.

To some Nigerians, the Presidential debate may have been an eye opener on many issues for further clarification, and obvious enquiries by truth seekers, home and abroad. We are all aware that Shakarau of ANPP won the Debate clearly, and in square terms too. Nigerians were aware that he was able to address some very salient issues concerning Nigeria, especially those greys economics issues which has been of major exploitation by the 'International Group of Companies' and their national paid-spy companies, which is now turned into billionaire companies overnight.

Above all, this same Shakarau was able to address the peace paradigm in Kano, and linked several indexes that has helped fuelled crisis in Nigeria, major bang in this was his opinion on international collaborations; even though he wasn't specific, I am aware he's trying to hide his head from being cut off almost immediately too.

On the benchmark score aggregate, I will rate him 40% for the clear cut theoretical framework, while I go further to score him 35% on his implementation of these agenda during his tenure as Governor of Kano state.

The other aspirants only succeeded in making a fool of themselves in the presence of Nigerians and the world on how best they were going to reconstruct the corruption, marginalized and impoverished battered Nigeria, with such character as General Buhari of CPC, and most unfortunate was Mallam Nuhu Ribadu of the ACN who in the light of his generational indexes failed to make clear his goals and agenda to rebuild Nigeria, instead dwelled stupidly by complaining bitterly on the problems confronting Nigeria as a nation without providing suitable solutions, or should I now say he attempted none at all.

Grossly put, they both scored very low with 10% and 15% respectively, compared to the amiable knowledge and experience demonstrated by Shakarau. This is the man of the 21st century, thus the big "BUT" comes into play. Will he be President come April polls by his efforts to inform Nigerians of the solutions that are in his meal-bow?

Gen. Buhari by indication is clear belong to the analogue political era, hence has refused to see the light beaming in the scorching sun of the 21st century.

Unfortunately too, while Mr. President prepares, we all know how un-open mindedness will characterize his reading and defence of his agendas, with the Chimamada Achike interview saga and the Debate Odeshe. What we intend to see will be an inaugural speech instead of a debate; well may be he will do better this time around. With this fretting that has characterized his administration, commonsense will show that he is being surround by vultures.

We have come of age from the debris of astounding treachery of all times than the predecessors before him - Mr. President, even OBJ has scored higher in this regard; perhaps this would serve as a leeway for OBJ to perpetuate his decoy further in draining the coffers of this nation's excess crude Account dry by proxy, and with his "PDP BOT" asymmetric. If by design OBJ started an Excess Crude Account meant for the future. As at today, less than one billion dollars is remaining in the account which once had about 34 billion dollars. Whatever happened to over 33billion in less than 3yrs is luck, or like a friend asked, has that future, which the money was meant for arrived? Definitely, it may be true or false.

If, Japan as a result of a tripod disaster of earthquake, tsunami and nuclear problems have near 10% electricity cut off, while Nigeria by design has 80% without electricity. Yet the clamour is on every lips that Mr. President has done well, that I cannot tell, but I leave this to the itching eyes of the Nigerian populations, and indeed rest it with their conscience.

The great divide has come, and the only way we can show truth in its full experiment is to render to the people justice, equity, peace, unity, development and democracy, both in the chronicles of choice and options. To this end if we must choose choice over option, then the only choice we have is to show via the polls that, hence with PDP everything is possible; that with the peoples' power if we can muster it, nothing is impossible, not that we have all the time and choices.

The symmetry of voting is synonymous with the "PDP Umbrella", which actually represent the will of the 'People, for the people and by the people'. We should remember that under the rule of the 'umbrella' nothing has really worked for 12 years now, in doing so Nigerians remain victims of the 'Stockholm syndrome'. If the Nigerian citizenry must stand up to the realities of the 21st century democracy, then we must wake up and see things clearly, and decide who to vote for. As for me, I will cast my votes with regard to my conscience, and I pray Nigerians can muster the courage to do likewise.

While the campaign promises has been very deceptive, we should also be aware that majority of these candidates has been sponsored, their sponsors are the chess-masters who can twist their joker at any point in time and at Will. The West and the East are the chess-masters, and least we know, none of these chess players has the interest of our national or continent's unity at heart. Only if we can practice what we are once known for, peace, unity and development, then we are close to the doors of solutions.

We must use the old laws to offset the present agenda; the old laws doesn't mean we should become analogue overnight, but that we should conjure the incarnations of what made the old new, and remain anew at all times.

INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHT LAWS – THE NEED FOR ACTION IN EQUATORIAL GUINEA

Before embarking on the journey to Equatorial Guinea, Malabo as a keynote speaker, as a trainee and beneficiary of the Batch II African Union-Youth Volunteer Corp (AU-YVC), and a West African Youth Representative to chair the “Six Man, Regional Committee” on Africa’s Youths and Sustainable Development as part of the culled Memo already slated for discourse by the Heads of State, during the “AU Heads of State General Assembly Summit”, a program that kicked off on 15th June to end in 3rd July, 2011.

Prior to my departure I have had an unbiased mindset; I thought Malabo was the most peaceful place in Africa undermining the power of the media and other agents of staged manage frenzy propagandas; and the recurring of the “Hired Crowd” probabilities. But from the inside, it is the most notorious place to be; where more than 73.88% of its city’s population are in jail-house. Of this estimate, more than 62.30% are foreigners, 22% are opposition members; while a fragment are those who by the law of the land were locked behind bars for a purely criminal perpetuations.

Malabo is like the City of Tinapa, Cross-River State  in Nigeria; which means as small as it is, the whole city is trekable within a time frame of 2hrs at most.

At every point, both civilians who are ‘pro-Obiang’ and the law enforcements virtually knows every members of the “freed” facially; and could identify those who are new among them. Notwithstanding, a situation could arise where the civilian-Malaboans can stop a stranger and interrogate him/her. Since it is recalled that no non-immigrant enters the city without the notice of the customs and other authorities instituted by the Government; vetoed by the President himself, it is a known fact that foreigners are stopped at any point in time and questioned, humiliated and harassed if they so wished.

HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF EQUATORIAL GUINEA:

The current president of Equatorial Guinea is Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo. The 1982 constitution of Equatorial Guinea, written following the 1979 deposition of dictator Francisco Macías Nguema and with help from the UN, gives the presidency extensive powers, including naming and dismissing members of the cabinet, making laws by decree, dissolving the Chamber of Representatives, negotiating and ratifying treaties and serving as commander in chief of the armed forces. The Prime Minister, Ignacio Milam Tang is appointed by the President and operates under powers designated by the President.

On Christmas 1975, Macías had 150 alleged coup plotters executed to the sound of a band playing Mary Hopkin's tune Those Were the Days in a national stadium.

It is estimated that 250,000 people (approximately one-third of the population) were killed or fled into exile during Macías' reign.

President Obiang overthrew previous dictator Francisco Macías Nguema on 3 August 1979 in a bloody coup d'état. Since August 1979 some 12 real and perceived unsuccessful coup attempts have occurred. The 'real' coup attempts were often perpetrated in an attempt by rival elites to seize the state's economic resources.

THE CLANDESTINE BATTLE OVER THE RESOURCES OF EQUATORIAL GUINEA – M16 VS CIA

Under President Obiang, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, in April 2006, to establish a Social Development Fund in the country, implementing projects in the areas of health, education, women's affairs and the environment; while the MAIN and the primes of the EHM (Economic Hitmen) continued to play prank with the economic politics of EQ while undermining the very vital benefits of human rights and justice as enshrined in the UN-Universal Human Right laws.

Since 2005, MPRI, a U.S. based international policing consulting company, has worked in Equatorial Guinea to train police forces in appropriate human rights practices. In February 2010, Equatorial Guinea signed a contract with the MPRI subsidiary of the US defense corporation, L3 Communications for coastal surveillance and maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea.

Although President Obiang signed a national anti-torture decree in 2006 to ban all forms of abuse and improper treatment in Equatorial Guinea and commissioned the renovation and modernization of Black Beach prison in 2007 to ensure the humane treatment of prisoners, human rights abuses continue. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International among other non-governmental organizations have documented severe human rights abuses in prisons, including torture, beatings, unexplained deaths and illegal detention.

Under President Obiang, the basic infrastructure of Equatorial Guinea has also improved. Asphalt now covers more than 80% of the national roads and ports and airports are being built across the entire country.

According to a March 2004 BBC profile, politics within the country are currently dominated by tensions between Obiang's son, Teodorin, and other close relatives with powerful positions in the security forces. The tension may be rooted in power shift arising from the dramatic increase in oil production which has occurred since 1997.

A November 2004 report named Mark Thatcher as a financial backer of a 2004 Equatorial Guinea coup d'état attempt to topple Obiang, organized by Simon Mann. Various accounts also name the United Kingdom's MI6, the United States' CIA, and Spain as having been tacit supporters of the coup attempt. Nevertheless, the Amnesty International report released in June 2005 on the ensuing trial of those allegedly involved highlighted the prosecution's failure to produce conclusive evidence that a coup attempt had actually taken place.

Simon Mann was released from prison on November 3, 2009 for humanitarian reasons. The presidential decree pardoning Mann from prison cites concerns about his physical health and the need for him to receive ongoing care in his home country.

President Obiang was re-elected to serve an additional term in 2009 in an election deemed by the African Union as “in line with electoral law”. The President reappointed Prime Minister Ignacio Milam Tang and installed a new government in Equatorial Guinea on January 12, 2010.

The new government is dedicated to strengthening the “cooperation and friendship” with the Barack Obama administration. During a meeting on the sidelines of the recent United Nations General Assembly, President Obiang urged President Obama to institute a U.S–Africa summit, to strengthen the cooperation between the United States and Africa.


AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL – INTENTIONAL OVERSIGHT:

Unfortunately, it is lugubrious to state here that Amnesty International who claimed to be the defenders of justice and human rights have intentionally overlooked the human right violations in Equatorial Guinea, Cameroun and other Francophone/Anglophone Central and East Africa Countries against their neighbouring African brother and sister States.

ANALYSING THE FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN CHALLENGES IN EQUATORIAL GUINEA

It is a complete Irony for a nation that scores -0% in Human right protection to chair the African Union; in fact it is unimaginable that such a place should be proposed to hold an AU Summit of such Africa's Heads of State's Summit...This is laughable!

Anybody can question my sources; they are all lying there in the streets and lips of all here in Malabo, as with what I have seen in Malabo, Kyiosi, Bioko and its surrounding; how the number of Nigerians in their prisons has risen to 83.22% of those allowed to walk freely in their streets while our embassy/consulate are adamant and ignore the senseless human right abuse of our nationals in Equatorial; where every night the Malaboans Police, Military and other law enforcement personnel invade foreigners private space and buddle them like criminals for senseless trials and accusation for various baseless offenses from immigration matters to victimization.

THE CAMEROUNIAN ONTOLOGICAL HATRED

There is a special hatred which is pronounced for Ghanaians and Nigerian Nationals , whereas Cameroonians with similar pattern of psychopathology of Hate lives here almost in peace with the Malaboans. The same hate pattern also exist between Nigeria and Cameroun, where several murders and brutality has been recorded and reported to the Nigerian Consulate in Douala and Yaoundé, yet like the mentally retarded, our embassy have always chickened and conspired to aid and albeit Cameroonians and their government in the perpetuation of human right abuse; since they have ignored several reports that got to them on matters of human right violations of the Cameroonians and the Cameroonian Government against Nigerians

 I have seen with my own eyes, how can a man – (President Obiang) that claim to be the custodian and Chairman of the African Union (AU) woke up one day and forcefully shipped out his own Nationals; those within the Age Brackets of 15-50years of age to Bioko the nearby island; and left the fragile imbecile generation of those within 55-90years to remain in Malabo. Why, this was to prevent revolution!

Because of his fear for foreign and imported ideologies, his plans was to frustrate the foreigners living there so they cannot protest or be made to support the oppositions against him. Those who oppose him are either going to find themselves in the chopped into pieces and thrown to the pigs for consumption, so that such persons won't be traced. What about the countless foreigners and Opposition members the Equatorial Guinean policy and coast guards kills every day?

What about the invasion and assassinations going on in Malabo, Kyiosi and Bioko of the younger generation every minutes. It is known that a population of less than 250,000 only less than 20,000 is seen in the streets of Malabo, more than 80,000 people are found in Bioko and Kyiosi...

You may want to ask me where are the remaining ones? I will tell you by equating a mathematically and logical differentials. of the remain 150,000 people, more than 120,000 people plus the foreigners are locked out in jail, another 2000 are in house arrest, another 4000 are closely marked to sign a paper that they can't leave the confines of Malabo. While roughly 24,000 people Nationals are outside the country predominantly purposeless due to the high delegations set up by the President himself to intimidate and harass his political opponents.

HUMAN RIGHT VIOLATION AND RACISM – THE NIGERIAN PERSPECTIVE:

Stupidity is part of the erudite colours of the very intellectually undeveloped, know this! But when the very selected and knowledgeable on the scheme of things are known to challenge the power(s) that be, they are countered with the arsenals of injustice as if they are rebels of good fortune; whereas they are the defenders of the oppressed.

Only few Nigerians understand the workings of Africa; and of the counter-Espionage, counter-Terrorism, Counter-Clandestinism and Counter-Intelligence network of Gaddafi; only the few will understand; but the gullible of which so many Nigerians stand at the front seat are tooth protruded to cast the first stone.

This is a man-Gaddafi who worked not only to make life better for Libyans, but to ensure this Notorious "House of Shame" - 'The African Union' is kept intact and polished to the standard of altitude. There was never any base of unity for African Union; it’s a charade!

If you have toured Africa as i have, especially the east and central Africa; you will understand that the leaders of these injustice-prone or brutal country states deserves not to be called a country. In Malabo Equatorial Guinea and Cameroun for instance, there is a high placed "Democratic Dictatorship" of these presidents to their own people, and an unbroken line of hatred for their fellow Africans of neighbouring countries such as Nigeria of the highest order; a hatred worse than racism; a barbaric interrelatedness, what a Shame for Africa and Africans!

Equatorial Guinea is a nation where more than 97% of those between 55-90years of age lives in Malabo the central and hub of economic activities, surrounded by Ocean, an Island of vast recourses, whereas from 15-55years of age were shipped out over night to Bioko; why? To prevent revolution! African Leaders have learnt from the lesions of Northern African revolutionary trends; and its continues to ring on like a bell?

In Malabo, foreigners, exclusive of Americans who mines the oil and does the dirty work are treated like Angels, Equatorial Guineans and other nationals of Africa are treated like Animals, whereas our Nigerian Consulate here behaves like an imbecile saying nothing while Nigerians are thrown into jail for no just cause. Yes No just cause I say, because before you enter into the country, your papers are complete; else no fleas fly into their air, land or water space/zone without their Knowledge. The reason the Mr. President Obiang mandated that every non-immigrant should come by air; yet these immigrants are treated by the custom officers, Police, Military and civilians like slaves; doing everything humanly possible to make Malabo unbearable to stay for foreigners. Whereas Equatorial Guineans lives  in Peace and Harmony in other countries. Who is at the receiving end?

The purpose of this essay is to inform the International Community that there is a high level of human right abuses in the economic hub of Equatorial Guinea – Malabo, where the AU-Summit is slated to hold.

If the International Community cannot address these problems of human right violations; except there are oil-ontological interest, else all the known world human right agencies should advocate for full respect of the International Human Right laws as against the perceived niche and discrepancies of the Equatorial Guinean Laws on Human Rights.

As an expert in Human Abuse and Conflict Management, I shall continue to investigate the true nature of things, and relate same to the necessary International Agencies for the protection of Human Rights.

There is a grave act of injustice in Equatorial Guinea under the orders of the Mr. President Obiang, and holding the AU-Summit there is a pure Irony to the Demands of Amnesty International as regard Peace, Justice and human right protection; and Nigerians most especially are being treated like criminals; and yet the AU-Heads of State summit will be held in the most notorious country-state of Africa with a disposition of “zero tolerance” to respect of human dignity.

LEADERSHIP IN NIGERIA

The success of the development countries of the world is not only attributable to their technological and infrastructural development, but the human elements of their societies that are saddled with the responsibility of managing both the human and material resources in a productive manner. This is leadership. But regrettably despite the abundant human and material of Nigeria, the social, political land economic quagmire confronting the people, reflects poor leadership and bad governance.

Nigeria is a country populated with over 150 million people of which 92% of the population are subjected to the dictates and manipulation of the other 8% cutting across the notion with its membership drawn from the military, politician, business classes and the traditional institutions. And by extension, the sons and daughters of member of this group are part of it. They have greatly influence leaders style and processes in Nigeria over the years this has been a problem to the masses.

Worst still are the resultant consequence of high rate of inflation, unemployment, poverty and crime that are prevalent in Nigeria because we lack a mental physically and morally credible persons as leaders with the vision and political will to move the country out of it present situation. Therefore corruption, indiscipline and lawlessness have become an acceptable norm in our society. While the educational, health, technological and industrial sectors have over the years suffer  great neglect due to bad governance. Thus Nigeria ahs been described as one of the poorest countries of the world. And transparency international, an international organization also qualifies it as one of the most corrupt countries of the world.

Nigeria has been bedeviled because in the past it has been unfortunate to have wrong people centre state of our political life as leaders with political power run the government. Even though the present leadership of president Obasanjo is embarking on series of political and economic reforms, he still has a morality question hanging over his victory of the has 2003 presidential election. Therefore his crusade for transformation is seen by a lot of people as suspect.

However not until the people come to terms with this realities of the associated problems of bad leadership, they will continually pay the price of having wrong people as our leaders lacking in the appropriate qualities suffix to say that there is yet to be light in the tunnel with regards to the efficient management of the resources of the country. And thus in due to the fact that the leadership selection process and style has never been transparent and appropriate. The consequence has been having “square pegs on round holes” politically, with greedy, selfish and morally bankrupt people as leaders because they have the barrel of the gun or fabulously rich at the expense of the generality of the people with the wealth that can not be substantiated by them and with this they have held majority of people political and economic hostages.

Unequivocally, Nigerians have never had the privilege of good leaders whose good works have been justified by history. Rather they are often credited abuse of office without the regards for code of conduct and decency required of public office holders as in a civilized society. Unfortunately these same people are often given recognition by way of titles and award by the society for their ironical performances.

This has been due to social decadence and the defect in value system, where merit in slaughtered in the alter of mediocrity. Regrettably, mediocre have been largely chosen to be the leadership pathfinder for Nigeria, because unprincipled, visionless and unproductive people have been given the responsibility of piloting the leadership affairs of the country.

While leadership has been considered the biggest problems of Nigeria, if will not be complete at the system that has been responsible for good leadership and government rendering the country. From independence there has been series of military rule and democratic rule yet we have not been able to substantiate the advantage of one over the other because of the caliber of people who are in charge of the administration of the country due to the selfish idealistic tendencies of our past leaders, lacking in the political will and commitment to move Nigeria forward in terms of political and economic development.

This is as a result of the fact that corruption, mismanagement, nepotism and the lack of nationalist tendencies has over the years associated with past leaders. They have always been very hypocritical about the social and political system. They say a thing and do another accounting for the failure of good government policies in time past. For instance they are quick to condemning corruption, tribalism and violation of human right. Bu what do we see? They are the one who will fraudulently enrich themselves with public money, having huge sum of money in several foreign banks, propagate tribalism for their selfish interest and using their financial power and position to oppress and exploit their people such that those who venture to oppose them, they descent on.

Sequel to the above and without prejudice in Nigeria we have always have rulers and not leaders because no matter the democratic status that may be attached with civilian leaders, they often manifest attributes of despots, qualifying them for near maximum rulers. Rather than they being servants of the people they carry themselves as masters and over Lord of the people. This is why a very few individuals, cabal imposes their decisions and will over the generality of the people also wage it is in their personal and group interest.

Having recognized that the lack of good leadership is the problem with Nigeria the situation or very pitiable and frustration because it has resulted in a lot of financial and economic wastages, leaving majority of Nigerians to contend with the problem of poverty and hopelessness.  And the reaction any social and psychological consequences do met support meaningful development.
However we can meet full about good governance in Nigeria as long as good leadership continue to elude us. If the had is sick the entire body suffers it therefore if the entire process and system of government must be productive, those who be presidents left exclusively for Nigerians with proven qualities and ability to hold such position and not on an all corners affairs.

The political and economic mishaps in Nigeria are principally products of bad leadership. Rather than been very practical, political leaders at the local and national levels are better than rising without making progresses that will justify them and finds expended by government  resulting in relative retrogression of our national life as people particularly as government has not sufficiently been responsible to its citizenry. And because leaders have often failed to lead by example indiscipline, disorderliness, lawlessness flagrant disregard for constitutionality has been their characteristics.

The quest for better leadership by Nigerians instigated the struggle for democratic rule as against military dictation in Nigeria to ensure good governance. And since the resurgence of democratic rule, our political indices have not shown any clear cut difference in the attitude of leaders whether democratic or military rulers, because it is insufficient to posit, that having a legislative organ guarantees the operations of democratic principles and sustainable democratic rule. Which is the case in Nigeria where the legislature is almost becoming an extension of the executive arm of government.

With regards to leadership and good governance, the political developments in recent times are a contradiction of the fundamentality for our struggle for democracy. Rather we have only succeeded in allowing a group of primitive thieves masquerading as politicians to take over the leadership of the country. Therefore no matter how much effort the present leader chief Olusegun Obasanjo may put in place, it may not be easy to achieve the desire results except there is the genuineness of intension and purposes with strong determination to make the system work. Suffice to say that the political class as it is today cannot be extricated from the display of irresponsibility in governance.

Most policies of government fail not because they were not good enough but due to political “god fatherism” and ideological short sightedness on the part of politicians and leaders. Policies are not allowed to work when they are against the interest of those perceived to be friends and relatives of political leaders. Some leaders are first to defile them, to allow them enrich themselves through corrupt and fraudulent practices. But ironically we often hear them sing songs of anti-corruption with hypocritical lips embarking on the fools ventures of finding a “dead man’s shadow”.

Nigerians have been suffering the effect of bad governance due to bad leadership for a long time because of the corrupt, selfish and greedy altitude. Leaders because majority of them lack good pedigree and also suffer from poverty of the intellect as expressed in their pursuit for material wealth, without quitting society with any legacy. Hence do not mind if all the political, society and economic sector of Nigeria paralyses. The facial expression of poverty and hunger of most Nigerians does not border them money and properties abroad.
This ugly trend has continued because the leadership selection process in Nigeria is characterization by fraud. Political moneybags has hijacked the process, and election massively rigged in favour of ruling parties. Therefore having disciplined, visionary, progressive, intelligent and qualitative leadership has become a mirage to the Nigerian people. And the transformation to meet the challenges of the modern globalize world of competitiveness has impossible.

This unholy and fraudulent process of leadership and imposition on the generality of the people by a very few, has never encourage the political development of Nigeria. And because the notion is politically unhealthy there is economic and social perspective also suffers. Unequivocally, leadership problem has been an albatross to developing Nigeria due to its structural defect, with a leadership selection process that is merely a public office holders, both on military and civilian governors, ministers, head of states still control the political leadership of the country directly or indirectly even when they had performed poorly while they were in office and credited with the present over bearing political, social and economic woes in the country.

Nigerian leaders do not care about the multiplicity of problem facing majority of the people, food, education, employment and poverty alleviation rather they are more concern about how much money they can make using their public offices. Because the system in Nigeria is very porous nothing is impossible. No political discipline, accountability and probity amongst the people and political class. In Nigeria past governors, ministers, and president or head of states are rich enough to buy the entire country if put up for sale due to their unjustifiable wealth. Suffice to ay that in Nigeria whether public or private sectors, leaders end up richer than organizations and institutions which they have been given the opportunity to manage and living same in worst conditions that they have been given the opportunity to manage and living same in worst condition than they ever met it and people now perceive politics and government craze for political applicants and power by politicians at whatever cost.

And a look at the concept of leadership with the Nigeria context, this will ordinarily incite a provocation against leaderships because political leaders in time past have failed the people before they become political leaders keys solving the Nigerian problem, but unfortunately greed and excess of undue benefits accruing to their office soon separates them from the people, leaving in a new world of class desires much aspiration. This is demonstrated in government policies and actions that are unpopular.

Political leaders in Nigeria whether military or civilian past and present has always desire political offices because of the benefits accruing to the office and not because they love their fatherland. This is why ting would even employ diabolical instruments of ethnicity and religion to achieve this in ordinate ambitions. Unfortunately majority of the people are yet to know that religion, ethnicity, and political zones of any candidate as a prerequisite for their choice of leaders both portend a stable and progressive polity for the country.

This is because there is nothing to show that one would be guaranteed a better social and economic benefit because of the governor or president performances and qualities, rather from antecedence only the immediate family member and close friends are those to be favoured. This has over the years created the element of suspicion that has characterized the relationship between government and the people. And it is attributable to the political and elite class of our societies and especially those who cannot stand competitions from boarder perspective of a Nigerian entity. Due to illiteracy, misinformation the people are indoctrinated by local leaders with false claims of protecting their religion and ethnic interest, while they are the true enemies of their own people.

From antecedence the role of political leaders have not been able to galvanize all elements of the Nigeria society for the desired development. Regrettably this is because the pool of leaders in Nigeria is largely dominated by people who ordinary have no business in holding political office, political misfits with ideological deficiency, without any defendable political vision for Nigeria, hence having good governance has been a mirage therefore it is pertinent that leadership at whatever level should be of men and women of credible leadership qualities and judged by the content of their character.

Unfortunately, in this country successive head of state and government have never been gotten on a just and equitable basis. Constitutions have been severally suspended and amend but it has always been to protect and give more powers to president and governors and this in turn fdo not support good leadership and governance. This can be traceable to the peculiar administration circumstances of late Gen Sani Abacha and Gen. Abubakar Abdul salami and president Ibrahim Babangida. Although they were military leaders, their working document as constitution of the president civilian government in their product.

From the lowest to the highest position of authority, Nigeria is constrained to develop by political cabals that have been clogs to the wheel progress in Nigeria. Our kind of Leadership and governance has always been the product of cabals that is influenced by greed, selfishness, and primitive wealth accumulating tendencies. This they have made nonsense, the potentials of greatness for Nigeria. These inadequacies over the year have resulted in huge financial and material losses such that resources, which could have been put into profitable ventures end up in the private foreign and local accounts of individuals leaving the masses to bear the brunt, like the ceaseless price increment on petroleum products to be able to meet financial commitment to international creditors.

The situation was that bad that the ugly head of bad leadership were also expressed in the Nigeria military and Para-military institutions, with so much political decadence and power intoxication Nigerians were held political hostages in their country, with the internal security agents operating in a Gestapo manner. Yet only the beneficiaries and apologists of military rule never saw anything wrong with the system. Though common to all military rules but was very typical of Gen. Sani Abacha’s regime.

Due to the inability of the political class in Nigeria to provide good leadership and governance, this military severally sized power to institutionalize military rule all over the country and unfortunately in Nigeria. Suffice to say that the political class is our albatross to national development as alternative to the military. Ye the “worst civilian regime is better than the best military rule” however the military leadership and governance in Nigeria has been catastrophic.

Regrettably, the unfair and unjust democratic process in Nigeria today is a product of the military’s doctored democratic process, characterized by misfits and leaders who are largely embarrassment to the nation, pointing to the structuring problem of democratic dictatorship in Nigeria by leaders and other public office holders and unfortunately there are no indicators that effort are been geared towards redressing the ugly trends in the Nigerian polity. Otherwise how can the Independent National Electoral Commission contemplate a rejection of international organizations from observing elections in the country?

Unequivocally, military rule or leadership lack the content and ability to provide a country like Nigeria the leadership it deserves, that will socially, politically and economically transforms it. The Military dispensation in Nigeria was a charade. Rather than improving the lives of the people, they made them poorer than they met them for about 20 years of military rule and destroying our value system.

The issue of corruption and fraud, the military in connivance with top civil servants and politicians who were apologist to every new military government in power, plundered the resources of the country. Their instrument employed by them, can be best described in a headmaster pupil-relationship where the peoples right and though were often abused the superior one of the military leadership. Their concern was how to remain in power using guns to enforce compromising behavior from the people.

As a result the military handed the constitution for the operation of the fourth republic, which has characterized excessive concentration of power at the centre. For security and police operation, even if the state governors are the chief executives of their respective states ironically the police commissioners are not answerable to their governors.

Fraudulently, there is the provision of an exemption clause in the constitution, which protects president, and governors while in office from prosecution, pending the expiration of the tenure in office. And this does not help to promote probity and accountability in a society like ours.

With this type of development, large-scale corruption and other  fraudulent activities is associated with political leaders in Nigeria revenue allocated to states and Local government a third tier of government as recognized by constitution are not only mismanaged but primitive embezzle or shared among major political players that is “godfathers” under one disguise or the other which is transferred to their foreign account and the acquisition of properties which they can not justify before Nigerians. Yet the people still desire good governance under this comatose system.

Evidently, all structural factors of the Nigerian society for development are defective, Rather than progressing we have relatively retrogressed in our national life because of poor leadership. Yet there are no sign to ending this reoccurring decimal in our polity, since accountability and transparency is yet to have its place in “Nigeria democracy” characterized with massive rigging of election results by political parties orchestered by the ruling party at the federal and state levels which was the case the 2003 elections.

This ugly trend in our electoral process contradicts good leadership selection process in Nigeria, where the electoral body Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) became a near department of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its electoral and returning officers were dominated by the ruling party’s card-carrying members and sympathizers. How then could elections to be free and fair in Nigeria? And unfortunately benefactors of this unjust system have failed to perform due to mediocrity, arrogance and sarcasms with which they often conduct themselves, suggesting they are not accountable to the people because they are not in office with the peoples mandates.

In the interest of our polity, INEC was dependent and cannot be a true and unbiased umpire because the appointment of its top management officers and funding makes it subset table to the influence of the party or government in power that will do everything possible to hold on to political power in the country.

Today, Nigerians are at a cross road in their inability to know which system would guarantee a better leadership, hence this confusion is demonstrated the agitation for a return to the parliamentary system of government or better still a hybrid of parliamentary-presidential systems. Though one is not unaware of the many gains of these systems of government, unless there is a serious effort to change the status quo our kind of leaders and value system whether political or social will always contradict a just and equitable democratic process where leaders are rather selected than elected by the people. Regrettably our leaders have not only embarrassed Nigerians but prove that they are mentally and psychologically inferior to their counterparts in Europe and Asia.

Under this present circumstance, the leadership of our political parties lack the credentials for providing the nation with good leaders given he condition under which the parties operate, without much emphasis on the qualities and credibility of their candidates but on their ability to financially gratify party leaders “godfathers” and pay other sum of money for ridiculous reasons, thus principle and discipline are of little or no consequences. And ironically people with better qualities or endowment are often relegated for parochial reasons as dictated by party leaders.

For good leadership and governance in Nigeria, the society and leadership selection must be anchored on sound value system for probity and accountability because Nigerian politicians are not guided by progressive ideologies let alone politics of decency. Thus politicians and political office holders are often seen as political businessmen investing and spending so much money to win elections, expectedly their investment yields them dividend through corruption and embezzlement of public fund at the detriment of the generality of people. Hence politicians are ready to kill their opponent to be in office because of the limitless and undeserved benefits that are associated with political offices in Nigeria. It is very imperative that if the country must develop, only those with the interest of the people and the right pedigree of leadership that should be allowed the opportunity to serve and not those selfish, wicked, criminally minded and parochial members of the political class whose intellect and imaginative power is suspect with preference for primordial values as leaders in Nigeria.
