WORLD EXCLUSIVE: Inside the secret Abacha memo approving execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa, others By Ini Ekott — December 30, 2012 In November 1995, while an overwhelming international outcry mounted against the execution of the Ogoni leader, Ken Saro-Wiwa and his colleagues, defiant military dictator, Sani Abacha, backed by a small band of military officers, convinced themselves that executing them, swiftly, was the best way to resolve the Ogoni unrest “once and for all”, and to make it clear to Nigerians and the world the authoritarian regime was no weakling. A recording of the final meeting, where the decision to hang Mr. Saro-Wiwa and eight of his associates was taken, said, two days before the execution, Mr. Abacha told members of the Provisional Ruling Council, PRC, the regime’s highest decision making body, that the activists deserved no sympathy, and that hanging them would stem further discontent and prove to the world the regime was bold and courageous. “He was of the...

*Africa's biggest problem is its leadership.*

The biggest conspiracy against the growth and dominance of Africa and Africans is not the work of Bill Gates, Monsanto, 5G, the Coronavirus or imperialists or colonialists. It is not Donald Trump, China, Boris Johnson or Queen Elizabeth. It is not a right wing conspiracy, or a left wing conspiracy, neither is it a grand plan of Israel or even the Middle East. *Africa's biggest problem is its leadership.* No world leader, or richest man in the world will use electromagnetic waves or vaccines to kill us. And let me tell you why: 1. In 2018 alone, about 230,000 brand new Toyota Land Cruiser 80 (2018 models) were sold in Africa. Let’s assume that private sector and NGOs bought 50% of those (a very conservative estimate), then it means the other half were bought by African governments. This means that at a very very generous base price of $60,000, $690 Million was spent IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA ALONE for governmental bodies and officials to buy JUST TOYOTA LAND CRUISERS! ...

COVID-19: Buhari's address to the Nation, what he said and what he failed to tell Nigerians.

After several weeks of hue and cry by Nigerians calling on the President - General Muhammed Buhari to address the nation in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, he finally addressed the nation on March 29, 2020 in what seem like a recorded speech.  Recently, after the Chief of Staff to General Buhari - Mr. Abba Kyari tested positive to the Virus, speculations have been rife that the President may have left the country. This speculation and the fact that the President had not been seen by Nigerians for weeks further increased the clamor by Nigerians for the president to address the nation. Also few days ago, a popular Muslim influencer and reformist Imam - Mohammad Tawhidi took to social media to lash out at President Buhari calling him the “dumbest President” and a defender of the terrorist group – Boko Haram. The popular cleric called on General Buhari to resign for failure to live up to responsibility of protecting Nigerians. And so finally General Buhar...

Coronavirus Pandemic in Nigeria: General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) missing in action, what hope for the Citizens?

Leading up the 2015 elections in Nigeria, the then opposition party - All Progressive Party (APC) and its flag bearer, candidate General (rtd.) Muhammadu Buhari on several occasions during the campaigns promised Nigerians that he will lead from the front. On February 26, 2015 he went before the world at Chatham House, London and proclaimed "We will always act on time and not allow problems to irresponsibly fester, and I, General Muhammadu Buhari, will always lead from the front and return Nigeria to its leadership role in regional and international efforts to combat terrorism".  By extension General Buhari did not only make promise to Nigerians, he took an oath to defend Nigeria and Nigerians from any form of aggression and affliction. He has not only violated the oath of the office of President of Nigeria, he has failed in the primary function of Government which is the protection of life, liberty and rights of citizens.     When on December 31, 2019 the world w...
