DISCRIMINATORY APPOINTMENTS AGAINST NON-MUSLIMS IN NIGERIA BY SOLOMON ASEMOTA (SAN).


Islamist Jihadists of the Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri Ethnic Nationalities, who are Negroid immigrants to Nigeria, are pushing the nation to an implosion. It is therefore imperative that the remaining 386 Ethnic Nationalities of Nigeria should, as a matter of priority, convene a Conference to demonstrate to the few Islamist Jihadists of the three Ethnic Nationalities the grave danger of Islamism as a system of governance. Nigerians are reminded that the present distress in the nation is not an act of God but man-made. The brazen and audacious imposition of Islamist Jihadists into key positions in the country is not an expression of religious piety but a deliberate manipulation of religion for cultural and political domination by three Ethnic Groups. This Agenda commenced in 1975 after the overthrow of General Gowon. The Islamist Jihadists are a violent and domineering strain of Islam rejected by mainstream Muslims.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE - A MUST READ PIECE BY SIMON KOLAWOLE.



If you were a lover of reggae music in the 1970s, you would certainly know “Time Hard”, a hit song by The Pioneers, the Jamaican three-man band. “Every day,” they sang, sonorously, “things are getting worse.” That song was released in 1972. At the time, Nigeria was producing two million barrels of crude oil per day and selling at an average price of $1.8 per barrel.

We were not yet oil-dependent, so the revenue was basically a bonus. By 1974, oil was selling for $11, six times the 1972 price, and our stomach ballooned. We became helplessly hooked on petrodollars. The only song Nigerians could be singing was: “Things are getting better.” The Pioneers would not sell.

SENATE PRESIDENT BUKOLA SARAKI - THE ROAD TO PROSECUTION FOR FORGERY.


The arraignment of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu over the alleged forgery of Senate rules when the 8th National Assembly was proclaimed has understandably provoked some controversy in Nigeria.

As is everything in Nigeria, politics is being deployed to confuse the real issues.
