So, Ojukwu was actually brilliant, had foresight and was astute?

Onu kwuru njo, emecha oga ekwu mma - Igbo proverbA mouth that says bad about something or someone (unjustly) will later say good about that thing or someone.The following was a response by a Yoruba man to my update on one Nigeria in a closed group.To be clear, I respect and salute the sincerity of this man because it takes uncommon courage to state the truth considering the amount of propaganda, misinformation, fabrications and outright lies...

Government shutdown: 800,000 workers go without pay, and it doesn't stop there

Dangerous political calculations that could boomerang.

Still on propaganda, misinformation and false accusations against the Igbos

One fact remains - if the Yorubas did not join the Hausas when Gowon declared war on Biafra you will not be complaining that Igbos are taking over commercial activities in Lagos today.Before the war, Igbos were living in different parts of Nigeria.Some people complained that Igbos were dominating other tribes yet non Easterners came together to fight them when they decided to leave Nigeria for those that didn't like them and at the end of...

Promoting renewable and alternative energy while depending on good old coal for electricity - The hypocrisy of the developed nations

“Why is Germany burning more coal after closing nukes? Because coal = real electricity. Wind can’t provide it.”Germany recently broke the solar energy generation record it previously set just a few months ago yet they still depend and rely on the good old coal to generate electricity.Now, the US with a population of about 300 million people get about 40% of their electricity from coal and 30% from natural gas (both fossil fuels).China, the country with...

Obama's spectacular failure of leadership on Syria

No truer words have ever been said concerning Obama's comments and pronouncements on Syria.Meanwhile, from day 1, Assad made it clear that Syria won't be another Libya and thus far he has been correct.The world is waking up now, more and more people are asking questions, seeking clarifications and rejecting illogical statements from the powerful mainstream media and the powerful nations using them as propaganda channels.At the height of the US/NATO invasion and destruction of Libya,...
