Another Ethnic Champion Temporarily Silenced

-

Kai, Adeyinka Grandson, adeyinka Grandson, Adeyinka Grandson, how many times did I call his name. 

According to reports was arrested by Scotland Yard, charged and granted bail and restricted from social media activities. 

I will miss listening to his broadcasts not because I enjoy his Igbo focused bigotry, but because I will not gain further insight into the true feeling of some Yoruba who share his ideology and passion, but hide it behind political correctness. 


All that Adeyinka screams about like reclaiming and chasing Igbo out of Lagos is the reality in the hearts of many Yoruba. 


In the past, I have always wondered at the attitude of some Yoruba towards Omo Igbo and through him I have been educated to understand why and they many visions of the oduduwa republic and opinions about Nigeria shared by many Yoruba people. 


He also debunked many myths and half truths floating around as truisms. 


If you want to truly understand Nigeria and it remains my never changing contention, don’t waste time listening to elected NASS officials, listen to ethnic militants like Biafra’s Radio Nnamdi Kanu, Asari Dukubo, bloody Shekau, Miyetti Allah and Adeyinka to understand tribal versions of resentment, feelings of injustices and they guiding philosophies and beliefs that make tribalism so prevalent in Nigeria to balance your perspective in understanding and proposing solutions for one Nigeria. 


I love all vocal ethnic champions and shame on any tribe that has none to tell it as it is to get the dialogue flowing, you are doing Nigeria a grave injustice, speak up so we can understand what is happening to you, please.


From an academic angle, I would like to see whether he will be able to stand behind his invectives and convictions and damn the consequences or fold into a pathetic apologetic heap never to be heard of again after they finish with him.

LACK OF CERTIFICATE EPIDEMIC

We play politics with every issue in Nigeria until it affects us directly. What Buhari went through in regards to his certificate is what pensioners and employees are going through with endless verification exercises. Some employees are being terminated because of falling to provide an original certificate instead of a copy of the statement the received at graduation. Do not be surprised if some pensioners are being denied their benefits because they failed to produce an original certificate from their schools despite that having nothing to do with their retirement. God help any elder who loses his records in a fire or to rats, rains or termites, not only will their ministry not have their employment records, they would be lucky if their useless school or ministry would be able to recreate anything from records except through use of an affidavit claiming their employer has them. Satan may even come into the equation where a University may even ask a graduate to go and produce not

The Tragedy of the Nigerian Individual

I get angry every time I see this and I swear i have cringed every time I see this picture and I apologize for assaulting our sensibilities and I will delete tonite because I am still cringing and you cannot unsee what you have seen, but a friend brought it to my attention. 1) the photographer needs to be shot for allowing that boy drink that water like that, that is a crime in itself 2) this is insipid stupidity and a default from laziness or any sense of wisdom or just plain ignorance, so hard to understand since this is a rural setting where there should be more native sense. Any fool knows that if this is they only water source, you must restrain yourself and boil the water thoroughly, seeve it and let it settle for hours before scooping the water off the top to drink, the same applies even if you got the water from a clean “ulee” (igbo for a native water well) second to that there are tablets you can put in water to remove bacteria but that is me talking from America 3) let no dre

No End to Nigeria’s Poverty Ranking in Sight

By Terhemba Osuji As I get older I cannot subscribe to the common rabid manic assumptions of critics. Watching channels and personalizing how I would solve Nigeria’s problems, I tried to Picture all they villagers i know and thought about what I would do as Governor and President to lift them out of multi-dimensional poverty without blindly sharing money.  Then my mind wandered to how I would finance these plans plans, how long would it take, and how do you measure it to declare success or boast about lifting people out of poverty. The more I thought about it from studying how to tackle poverty they more I realize that Nigeria does not even have a rudimentary system of disseminating benefits, nor does it really have the data or infrastructure to even begin to tackle it. Armchair critics have all the answers but in all honesty the challenges of tackling poverty are just too great, in fact I am not sure that any government in Nigeria can even begin to tackle poverty in the near term. Peo
