The injustice on Sowore by the failed Nigerian state

August 8, 2019 2:15 am

By MarkAnthony Nze

The recent incarceration of Omoyele Sowore, the publisher of Sahara Reporters, an online news web portal, who incidentally, was the presidential candidate of African Action Congress (AAC) party in the last election where he lost to the impostor, Jubril Al-Sudani masquerading as President Muhammadu Buhari, by the Nigerian government is absolutely nothing but a brazen act of injustice.

The #RevolutionNow protest which was slated for August 5, and still took place on the stated day though poorly, due to the absence of Sowore, is being criticised by quite a number of the citizenry for the temerity, …

They declared NO VICTOR NO VANQUISHED yet they call us their slaves and vowed that nothing will make us smell power again.
After the war comes the 3 RRR’s. RECONCILIATION, REHABILITATION AND RECONSTRUCTION.
They were abandoned as soon as they were propounded.

The only useful thing that came out of the reconciliation is the founding of NYSC, which has outlived it’s usefulness as Igbo and Southern Youth Corp members are killed in the North at every slightest opportunity.

The war ravaged East was not reconstructed nor rehabilitated.
There were no government presence at all.

Challenges, problems, and hurdles are part of our existence on Earth, and as our faces differ so do the things we pass through. A lot of times, they appear neck-breaking, and we quickly move to the edge of giving up.

Challenges, problems, and hurdles are part of our existence on Earth, and as our faces differ so do the things we pass through. A lot of times, they appear neck-breaking, and we quickly move to the edge of giving up.

In spite of the circumstances that are bedeviling us, we should realise that our handling of such situations go a long way to determine, the impression that would leave us with subsequently. The same challenge that marred one was the very one that made another extremely successful financially, and otherwise.

Irrespective of every smiling face you see …

Algeria, Sudan revolutions, and the myopia of Nigerians

In quick succession, Algerians and Sudanese people crippled economic activities of their respective countries, occupied the streets and ousted the dictators that had held their countries down for decades.

The sick 82 year old Bouteflika who is confined to the wheelchair, and has ruled for 20 solid years, and was gunning for his fifth term was roundly rejected and ousted.

Both the military, police and other security agencies downed their tools and joined the masses in protest as the society belongs to them too.

The Algerian protest which was called the Smile Revolution, started on 16 February …

  • It has always been the Igbos

The British didn’t deem it fit to give power to the Igbos because they consider us uppity, and cannot be controlled. Also, because of the leading role Zik played for the Nigerian independence and for African liberation, the Igbo people have not been in the good book of the British government.

The colonialists perceived us as “The ambitious and clever Igbo people ” just because they preferred as their successors those that would continue to depend on them and those they would easily manipulate, a stooge of colonial power. The Hausa/Fulani …

The APC led government in Nigeria has so much created contentions in the country to a point that the divisions among the tribes, and ethnic  groups have never been this bad in the country, the killings on daily basis by the Fulani herdsmen, the looting of public treasury by public officer holders in APC.

The party has created safe heaven for looters, the chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole publicly said during one of their rallies ahead of the 2019 elections while urging those in the opposition parties who were charged with fraud that, “once you, …

The killings set the country unstable, while the trouble was going, the recklessness, and incompetence of APC led administration beginning from their finance team where Mrs Kemi Adeosun, who was even barely qualified to be the Commissioner of Finance in her last assignment  was given a portfolio too big for her to handle as a Minister of Finance, and the resultant effect was disastrous.

The government of APC which came into power in the first place with propaganda but failed to realise that, propaganda can only get you into power but will not get the real job …

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and his truthful predictions

By MarkAnthony Nze

The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a man many, all over the world adore not just his teeming pro-Biafra followers. This adoration stems forth not just because of Kanu’s eloquence, and charismatic leadership but mostly for his precision of prediction or prophecy, little wonder many of his admirers in Biafra land and those scattered all over the world call him a prophet.

Anybody who has been following Kanu over the years since he officially, began pursuing the restoration of Biafra through the platform of IPOB, they would certainly, admit without …

The All Progressives Congress (APC) is a political party that has over the years since its formation in February 2013 ahead of the 2015 election shown, and proven that she wanted power at all costs. The party which came into existence as a result of the merger of Nigeria’s three largest opposition political parties namely, the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), and kicked out the incumbent Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Nigeria’s national leadership.

Nigeria is supposedly a country where her citizenry make bogus claims as regards having full knowledge of God, and being closer to Him. The country comprises basically, Christians and Muslims. However the ratio of Christians supersede that of the Muslims. The country has uncountable number of churches ranging from kiosk sizes to cathedrals littered on every nook, and cranny of her streets as well as all kinds of individuals masquerading as pastors or “men and women of God,” as they are usually called by their followers.

These so-called men and women of God who are simply nothing …

Certainly, these are not the best of times for the former Governor of Imo state, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, his woes first started when the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole denied his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu, the gubernatorial ticket as a consensus candidate of the party in Imo state without the usual primary election, after collecting well over half a million dollars from Nwosu, who was then the Chief of Staff to Okorocha, and incidentally, the husband of his first daughter, Uloma.

The Hausa-Fulani Oligarchy as the name connotes is a privileged few of the Hausa-Fulani race, some of them are very educated, and enlightened but very callous, and power drunk, they are often ready to go the extra mile to have power, and brutally use it against their enemies and even their own people who disagree with their domination or unjust imposition of certain agenda.

There’s really nothing wrong in pursuing political or traditional power but there’s everything wrong in using force to compel others to do your bidding thus subjugating their dignity, and humanity.

The Hausa-Fulani seeks …
