Witch hunt in America

ine11, this is the number that you call when there is a need for emergency type, medical attention. Then something never seen and never heard of before happened in the United States of America on September 11, 2001. On this day the twin towers, World Trade Center, were completely obliterated from the surface of the earth and the Pentagon, the symbol of American Might and Defense was partially sent crumbling down and engulfed in fire.

Nineteen young males, most of who were citizens of Saudi Arabia, hijacked four commercial aeroplanes, flew two into the Word Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and a fourth which was rumored to be heading for the White House was brought down on a Pennsylvania farm. Thanks to the courageous act of the passengers, who have accepted their collective fates and refused to let the cowardly hijackers have their ways. Some mixed victory, even if it is a fatal one, is a victory for the just nonetheless.

This nineteen suicide and hell bound hijackers exposed to the whole world the vulnerability of the United states in a first strike massively distributed unexpected attack on the US homeland. Like one Egyptian University student who was interviewed by Dan Rather for the 60 Minutes put it, "that America can not be attacked or even defeated is a myth".

These nineteen determined though misguided young Arab males have for ever shattered the myth USA's invincibility to an outside attack. They proved that a determined enemy if well coordinated was capable of causing heavy damage to America. The terrorist have in my mind won the psychological war. Now all of us living in the United states are a little fearful but a whole lot wiser and careful all because of 911.

What I am really interested in shedding light on, is the effect and the impact of 911 on the African community, particularly Nigerian community living in the United states. The effect of 911 on many African families have been devastating to say the very least. United States, a nation which sees and prides itself as the greatest democracy on earth and a bacon of opportunity, is now silently at war with Nigerians. The US justice Department is now operating what seems more like what the Nazis would have done. 

The Justice Department is now being driven by fear rather than sound policies. This department is now pursuing a race based immigration policy which will see to it that most Africans who were favored by the Immigration Acts of 1986 will be quietly rounded up on flimsy charges and deported.

Even a traffic offence can throw your life upside down if you are an African, especially a Nigerian living in the United States. Honest and hard working people who have lived here for many years and are green card holders are been denied citizenship even when they have been interviewed and completed all the process required. The Justice Department is employing all sorts of delay tactics not to make good on many of the amnesty provisions of 1986/1987. American Justice Department is been run based on fear and not on a sound immigration policy. This is exactly what you will expect from a third world nation.

There is no where in all the reports on the events of September 9, 2001, that there was a Nigeria involvement in the dastardly act. There was absolutely no Nigerian among those who flew planes into buildings and there by took innocent lives. Infact some Nigerian actually died in the mayhem that as now become known as 911.

Why is this Justice Department targeting Nigerians? Can some one tell us.

In God's own country, fear and I mean raw fear, that element in mankind which sometimes brings out the worst in human beings is now the order of the day. This is not a country with just a few or handful Universities. This is the United States, a country with over three thousand well established Universities. This is the home of Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Columbia (NYC), Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown, University of Chicago just to mention a few. Re-writing laws to fit a perceived offence based on racial prejudice by this Justice Department is a real concern to many Africans.

Imagine these lazy people issuing threats to Nigeria component ethnic group...

Donald J Trump in 2017 making the mistake of former President Roland W. Reagan

I  am very concerned about the waning leadership role of America in shaping future technologies which as we have seen during the Obama administration had a considerable boost in the shift from fossil energy to more of renewable energy.

Many have forgotten that in 2007 when Obama took office gas price was highest at around $5.50 per gallon, and eight years later, same gas price has drastically reduced to some $2.20 and had remained steady for most of the last three years of Obama administration.

Obama's administration was able to achieve this enormous feat because it understood quite effectively the urgent need to invest in alternative source of energy and it paid up handsomely at the gas pump for ordinary Americans. This is something most people are not even aware of and as such the administration is not getting the credit it rightfully deserved for encouraging the use of electric cars as viable mean of transportation.

Now comes this man Donald J Trump who I might say, I actually wanted to extend an open mind to him. As we are now seeing, has committed one of the most sacrilegious offence against science. He did this by tampering with and rolling back by executive orders on some of the most useful regulations his predecessor put in place to combat the negative effect of greenhouse gases on climate change. As a scientist, I can not possibly support anyone that will deny scientific data to the detriment of declining world's/planet earth's health.

I have lived in the USA long enough to remember that Ronald W. Reagan also did the same thing, he got rid of Jimmy Carter research efforts/initiatives in the area Solar Energy. Reagan even went as far dismantled the solar panel that President Carter installed at the White House. In retrospect the impact of what Reagan did, delayed the embrace and common acceptance of alternative energy source by more than thirty years.

Now, I am going, "I have seen this recklessness before", and it took over thirty years before a a President, called Obama restarted the process again and we are now the better for it. Without a doubt Obama has been the greatest friend that science and scientist has ever had, except perhaps John F. Kennedy (the Space Travel).

THE BAKASSI INJUSTICE

Secretary General Kofi Annan when he was in office, was the mediator, who also chaired what is now known as three party summit with the two countries' presidents on 15 November 2002, which established a commission to facilitate the peaceful implementation of the ICJ's judgement. A further summit was held on 31 January 2004. Even though these summits made significant progress, but since the summit left out the major stake holders, the people whose future and destiny will be forever affected by the summit's outcome. The final resolution has created, huge problem because the Bakassi people will not have none of the ICJ verdict. To state it nicely, the process to steal a valuable piece real estate was complicated by the opposition of Bakassi's inhabitants. Each step of the way the people of Bakassi have remained resolute and have rejected the blatant theft of their ancestral homeland.

On 13 June 2006, President Olusengun Obasanjo of Nigeria and President Paul Biya of Cameroon did something very unusual. Obasanjo in particular traded away the land area we now know as Bakassi. Olusengun Obasanjo of Nigeria and President Paul Biya of Cameroon resolved the dispute in talks led by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan in New York City, New York. Obasanjo agreed to withdraw Nigerian troops within 60 days and to leave the territory completely in Cameroonian control within the next two years. Annan said, "With today's agreement on the Bakassi peninsula, a comprehensive resolution of the dispute is within our grasp. “The momentum achieved must be sustained” --- Annan said. All the while the affected people were crying out they were being robbed.

Bakassi is the peninsular area of the territory of Calabar which opens into the Atlantic Ocean. It is technically being ruled by Cameroon following the transfer of sovereignty from Nigeria as a result of a judgment by the International Court of Justice. On the 22nd of November 2007, the Nigerian Senate rejected the transfer, since the so called Green Tree Agreement ceding the area to Cameroon was in conflict to Section 12(1) of the 1999 Nigeria Constitution. Without giving the constitution sufficient consideration, a portion of the territory was formally transferred to Cameroon on 14 August 2008 by President Olusegun Obasanjo. Obasanjo’s willingness to assuage the ICJ was suspect while he completely ignored the Nigeria Senate and the people who call Bakassi home.

Bakassi had never been a land that is desolate, in fact, it should be noted that there is a huge presence of people who have lived for centuries on the peninsular. The mindless, territorial give away, or is it hand over, will remain a major sour point to all seeker of justice, and quite rightly a source of dispute in the mind of every decent people. This is because the ICJ’s verdict goes against every sense of fair play and in particular, it goes against what is considered good faith dealing. The territory has a sizable population, which is estimated to be around 250,000 people. Yet no one sought it fit to give them a seat at the table when their collective fate is been determined. They forget that, this is a different era, this is the 21st century, and we the people of good faith all over the world will stand with the Bakassi people in their efforts to repel and refuse the daylight robbery of their land. The people of Bakassi have lived on the land of their ancestors continuously for centuries and carried out fishing as their primary occupation.

The peninsula is "oil-rich", and it is said to have a substantial amount of crude oil deposits that can last for many years to come. This is why, the area has aroused considerable interest from multi-national oil companies.

Short overview of European presence in the area:

During the European scramble for Africa, Queen Victoria signed a Treaty of Protection with the King and Chiefs of the Old Calabar, on 10 September 1884. The 1884 treaty gave the United Kingdom the right to exercise control over the entire territory around Calabar, and indeed Bakassi. The territory subsequently became part of the republic of Nigeria.

There are some, documents released by the Cameroonians, in parity with that of the British and Germans, which also clearly puts Bakassi under Cameroonian Territory as a consequence of colonial era Anglo-German agreements. Strangely enough, even after Southern Cameroons voted in 1961 to leave Nigeria and became part of Cameroon, Bakassi remained, under Calabar administration in Nigeria until ICJ judgement of 2002. If it is accepted that Bakassi is under Calabar, it should also follow that Bakassi is without a doubt a Nigeria territory. What person in Nigeria who is old enough, who will not know Calabar and its historical importance in the archive of Nigeria history. Calabar for the record used to be for many years the capital of the Colonial Southern Protectorate of Nigeria.

Territory in dispute:

Nigeria and Cameroon have for many years laid claims to the possession of Bakassi. This has led to considerable tension between the two nations. In 1981 the two countries came to the brink of war over Bakassi.

There were armed clashes between Cameroon and Nigeria in the early 1990s. This was when Cameroon decided to take the matter to the International Court of Justice on 29 March 1994. In hindsight Nigeria should never have agreed for the court to arbitrate on the matter, but Nigeria thought it had an air tight case. If Nigeria did not agree to submit itself to ICJ for arbitration, we will not be here discussing this matter today. In part, this is why I did not completely fault OBJ (provided he had no vested interest in the transfer). It will seem to me that he was only honoring the fact that Nigeria consented to appearing at the ICJ and Nigeria maintained defense representations at the court and as it will turn out the final judgement was not in favor of Nigeria. It is in fact an injustice to humanity.

The case as we know was extremely complex, where century old diplomatic exchanges were carefully sifted through. Nigeria it turned out, relied too heavily on the Anglo-German documents dating back to 1885 as well as treaties between the colonial powers and the indigenous rulers in the area, particularly the 1884 Treaty of Protection. Cameroon also pointed to the Anglo-German treaty of 1913, which defined spheres of control in the region, as well as two agreements signed in the 1970s between Cameroon and Nigeria. Cameroon has its boundary line drawn through the Cross River estuary to the west of the peninsula, thereby implying Cameroonian ownership over Bakassi. The problem here again was mainly due to some regulation which came out in Cameroon in 1971 and 1975 but were never ratified by any Nigerian government let alone be accepted by it.

The Fraudulent ICJ verdict:

The ICJ delivered its judgment on 10 October 2002, finding (based principally on the Anglo-German agreements) that sovereignty over Bakassi did indeed rest with Cameroon. It instructed Nigeria to transfer possession of the peninsula, but did not require the inhabitants to move or to change their nationality. Cameroon was thus given a substantial Nigerian population and was required to protect their rights, infrastructure and welfare.

The verdict caused consternation in Nigeria. It aroused heated comments from Nigerian officials and the Nigerian media also. Chief Richards Akinjide himself, a former Nigerian Attorney-General and Minister of Justice was a leading member of Nigeria's legal team. He described the decision as "50% international law and 50% international politics", "blatantly biased and unfair", "a total disaster", and a "complete fraud". The judgment was a rape in the face of acceptable logic and clear evidence unanticipated international conspiracy against Nigerian territorial integrity and sovereignty and part of a Western nations ploy to create and perpetuate problems in Africa.

Nigeria must refuse to withdraw its troops from Bakassi and thereby rescind transfer of sovereignty to France through its proxy, the Cameroon nation. The unfortunate thing is that Obasanjo allowed Chirac to mesmerize him into accepting the ICJ fraud in the weeks which preceded the ICJ ruling. This was why Nigerian government did not openly reject the judgment but instead called for an agreement that would provide "peace with honor, with the interest and welfare of our people. A key point that we must not allow to slip away from our consciousness is that the judgement was not unanimous, two judges, Ajibola and Judge Koroma both wrote dissenting opinion to the Judgment of the Court.

The ICJ judgment though backed up by the United Nations, whose charter potentially allowed sanctions or even the use of force to enforce the court's ruling MUST in fairness never be allowed to hold even in the face of unprovoked military assault by the UN forces and/or other Western nations. The world knows all too well that none of the ICJ judgements had ever been enforced against non African nations. This may be a time for us to finally expose the hypocrisy of the United Nations and its Agencies all over the world.

A possible Resolution:

The people of Bakassi and their leaders should make true their threat to seek independence if Nigeria completely turned its back on them and renounced sovereignty. Democratic Republic of Bakassi to me is a reality after all, there are countries in Europe that are by far smaller, Monaco, Luxemburg and Belgium come to mind. In the minimum a plebiscite should take place where the people chose a path for their future.

What we can do is to protest in front of the Embassies and Consulates of France, Cameroon, and Nigeria anywhere we find them. This can not be a one time protest, we must find a way to sustain it until we give this just cause the worldwide awareness it deserves.

BARACK OBAMA: A MAN OF DESTINY OR JUST ANOTHER OVER AMBITIOUS MAN?

BARACK OBAMA: A MAN OF DESTINY OF JUST ANOTHER OVER AMBITIOUS MAN?

arack Obama, like him or hate him, he may in fact be a man of destiny, a man whose time has come. He  be the man who has been appointed, not by man, but by God, the Almighty, for time such as this. If I were advising the Clinton people, I will suggest to them to tread very carefully. So far, none of the tricks the Clinton camp has pulled on this man worked. All the attempts to make his name synonymous with Saddam Hussein, by leaking that his middle name is “Hussein”, did not work. The story that he attended madras as a boy, madras is an Islamic fundamentalist breeding ground, all in a pitiful attempts to link him to Islam also is not working. Of course we all know what that connotes. Obama the Muslim, or is it Osama the terrorist. It is just that simple. The Clinton people should know better, I am in fact disappointed in the Clinton Campaign Organization, they are sweating, they are showing a sign of desperation. If they show one more sign of crack, Hilary Clinton, will be history in this primary. Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen. Barack Obama D-Ill., celebrates with his supporters after his victory in the Iowa caucus Thursday, Jan. 3, 2008, in Des Moines, Iowa. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer) The best thing for the Clinton Campaign to do is to focus on their on message. They should hammer in what they hope to do for the people of America, instead of trying to bring down, a man who I think has God’s hand upon him. The Clinton should change their campaign strategy to be positive. They have no choice, they must be above the fray. For one thing, this is the campaign of the wife a beloved American President. Her husband was the 42nd President of the USA. If anything, they should have learned that, this was a man who literarily walked into the Senate of the United States as a junior Senator from the State of Illinois, with very little challenge, he is someone very special. I watched this man very carefully during the democratic primary two years ago in Illinois. He proved every one wrong, because his time has come and God was on his side. Ask me, if I like this man? My answer will be NO! But no sane human being can deny the hand of destiny on this man. All anyone has to do, is to just follow the path this man has taken to get to where he is at today. They told him to change his name because no one would be able to pronounce Barack Obama -- How they were wrong? The were so wrong many of those who made that silly suggestions should for all time bury their faces in shame. Now come the actual election into the Senate, the Ryan son simply self destroyed himself. Then came a hired Republican from Maryland, Alan Keyes, Ph.D, Harvard, to challenge Obama in Illinois. Anyone who followed that senatorial race two years ago saw what happened to Alan Keyes, he was for all time demolished. Obama simply trounced Dr. Keyes. Obama won the Senate race with 70% of the votes. So really, right there lie the real beef about Senator Obama. The truth is, Barack Obama the man whose father is African, from Kenya, may very well be on his way to becoming the President of the United States of America, and it will be the first time for a non white. Can we then say because Obama is doing so well in politics in America, America is now color blind? This could be the furthest thing from the truth. America, for all practical purposes, such availability of opportunities to non whites is very much color conscious. Racism still strives. It is a tool used effectively for the scarce resources allocations. Do not let the embrace\acceptance of Obama fool you. After all this is the same America, where not too long ago men like Obama were simply lynched because of their race and because they dared. This is a different time indeed, and the century is the 21st. century. A century that will be like no other century before it. How then can someone like myself explain the enormous success of Obama in America politics? One may be forced to ask himself: Why is Obama doing rather well and against the convention of the establishment. My only answer is: His time simply has come. There is definitely an unstoppable force propelling this man into political fame. Obama is the son of an African, from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas Sate. His father, like most of us from Africa who found ourselves in the US, came to the United States to further his education. So really there are so many Obamas out there, who were fathered by the same circumstance which gave life to Obama. In a way, Obama is us, he is one of us, he is our son, he is our brother. His success in a way, however remotely is our success. Since no one can hide a man who God has anointed, I will say that we should cautiously warm up to him. For one thing is sure, his core values are our core values too. Resiliency in the face of unjust and unmitigated attacks, coupled with unrelenting desire to do better than our parents. These are in fact our values. Obama has in fact done exceedingly better than his father on the America landscape. Do I think that Obama’s Presidency will change the plight of Africans and indeed the plight of the “African Americans”?? I am not that naïve and my answer will be, it will not.

Found my childhood friend ...

This may actually sound rather funny to some people --- I got in contact with a childhood friend Mufutau Odubela, who I have not communicated with since I left Yaba College of Technology, and no, he did not attend Yaba. I saw him last at his home in Agege, Lagos Nigeria, he was at the time attending University Of Ife, Ile Ife, Osun State, Nigeria.

Should I say, As The World Turns, so are the Days of Our Lives. The world is a connected World indeed.

Hi Ms. Adelakun --- you would have made a better impact on me if you had, expressed your disapproval in a different way. I too used to be as accommodating in my thinking as anyone. The point is the experience of 911 for me changed all that. When misguided Muslims flew planes full of people into buildings without provocations, Those people on those were leaving to get about their business. The plane that hit the Pentagon Building left an indelible print in my mind.

The reason: prior to 911, I lived at the Marriott Residence Hotel, Pentagon City, VA for 8 months . I had just finished my assignment at Quest Communication in Arlington VA in August of 2001, working for Nortel Networks and returned back to Dallas where I had just started a new position with T-Mobile --- I was driving to work on the early morning of 9/11/2001 when the news started to come in that planes were being used as missiles into buildings.

Like I stated earlier, barely three weeks earlier before 9/11, I lived at the Marriott, in the area --- are rows of High Rise Hotels across from Highway 1. If you are not familiar with that area, the Pentagon Building is no higher than 9 storeys. Just imagine for a moment that if the plane that hit the Pentagon should miss it, it will go straight into those rows of Hotels which are across Hway 1 from Pentagon --- God forbid if that were to have happened many more people would have been killed for no reason, other than some Muslims folks decided they were mad (angry) at America, and as a result they wanted to express their vengeance by killing innocent people who they have never met. In this instance, it did not happen like that in Pentagon City, no civilian building was hit, thank God. But the Twin Towers and the people who worked there were not as fortunate.

Just when I was beginning to get over 9/11, then the news of James Foley happened an innocent man was butchered like "eran ileya" (ram). That image is still playing in my mind till today. This is  when I began to view the Muslims with deep suspicion. At this time, I believe in my heart of heart that the Muslims are looking to kill everyone into submission regardless of what they tell people about Islam being a religion of Peace. You are a Yoruba, just in the same manner that I am a Yoruba. I needn't tell you that most Yoruba do indeed have a sizable portion of their extended families as practicing Muslims. So to be Muslim is a not new in our larger community.

The fact of the matter is the threat that "wahhabism" pose to world peace, and if we ignore it, we do so at our own perils. It is clear these people want to kill everyone into submission, it is  just that clear. I am saddened that you failed to see my point.

One thing you should understand is ---  if the Muslims have the possession of nuclear weapon, they will not hesitate to use it, if only to create shock and fear in people. They have demonstrated their capacity to use any and every weapon at their disposal. Plus the Saudis who are the sponsor and financier of Islamic radicalism view the Pakistanis Nuke as theirs. I tell you right here, it is a matter of time before something crazy will happen.

Please with this write-up, you will see the photo of James Foley. James is as liberal an American as they come. He attended Northwestern University, Evanston IL. There is no one that could be more understanding towards the jihadist's cause than James --- yet he was killed simply because he was an American. Keep in mind, James was also someone's son, a boyfriend of somebody because I am not sure if he was married. The only thing I will concede to you is my comment about the Pakistanis concerning how bad they smell.

But the bigger message which you failed to see was that Saudi Arabia expelled 40,000 Pakistanis citing all sorts of excuses.

I simply wondered aloud that --- if it was the USA that expelled 40,000 Pakistanis, people all over the US will be repulsed and will be crying "Islamophobic", so, what shall we call what the Saudis just did??? that part was never addressed by you. 

For right now --- we all have one world/planet, as far as I know earth like living has not been duplicated anywhere else yet. This is it. This is all that we've got, we must all learn to leave in peace with each other, else the whole thing will go up in a ball of flames.

The Best of America at play, and the Muslim intolerance...

On Sunday January 29, 2017, I saw the goodness of America. I witnessed children, young adults, their parents and all other ordinary Americans coming up to the rescue of the Muslims whose mosque was burned down. The Americans all came up and donated to rebuild the burnt mosque in Victoria Texas (Victoria Islamic Center). I was overwhelmed by their faith in human kind, and the kindness they espoused with their givings. Their actions exemplify the best in human behavior. Do the Muslims espouse this level of kindness to others, and in particular non Muslims??? All you have to look for, is right there in predominantly Muslim countries/cultures where intolerance is the norms rather than the exception. They routinely burn down Christian churches with little or no provocation. They display unparalleled offence towards non Muslims, and without care confiscate their properties and in some cases kill non Muslims at will. The problem is: the American are displaying unmerited act of provision by giving their money to the same people who will one day attack them and take over America, it is a matter of time, perhaps (50) fifty years, perhaps (100) one hundred years from now, before they will turn around to murder the very people who have rallied around them and helped the rebuild. All these being the payment for human kindness, which the Muslims see as weakness. AMERICA should wake up before it is too late, the Yoruba of Western Nigeria are still trying take back Ilorin which also was surreptitiously stolen from them. Believe me it can happen also to America. The Character of te Muslims up close is right there in the attached video clip --- their lack of respect for anything that does not echo or support the world. Just see how they surrounded that preacher, like locust seeking to devour the green leafs. See that character of the so called "peaceful" religion adherent at close up, pay specific notes to their language, their attitudes and their concerted intimidation. All of those people are gathered on just one man. Ohhh what a people! ---- ignorance being confused for knowledge. Thank God this happened in England, and not in some out of hand Muslim country. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXluc2XmD5k Just imagine if it were to happen in Pakistan, or Egypt, not to mention Saudi Arabia or Iran --- that preacher's head will no doubt have been chopped off. Their reason would have been he "abused" their religion. Just imagine; these are the people the West is bend backward over to appease. Not Good, NOT GOOD AT ALL.

President Barack H. Obama, the 44th President of the USA

Ordinarily --- I should like the US President #44. He is truly a son of Africa who is not ashamed of his heritage, afterall he actively sought out and identifies with his Kenyan root despite that his father who was a Kenyan did very little in his upbringing --- sounds typical of certain African "types".

Obama pushed and signed the Affordable Care Act (Obama Care) This to me was a winner. No nation should leave his poor vulnerable.

The thing I never liked about this man who I will concede is a giant in every way imaginable. Obama was soft on radical Muslims whose agenda is to kill everyone into submission to their faith (I have a harsher word I will settle for faith).

Can you believe it??? --- Obama agreed to have 1200 Muslims resettled in the US from Australia. It is now abundantly clear that Obama had an agenda to surreptitiously flood the US with Muslims. His intention may be noble --- but the eventual outcome could be deadly.

Everywhere the Muslims were allowed they found a way to turn it into killing field. In very peaceful Trinidad and Tobago, the Muslims a few years ago tried and failed to overthrow the government of that paradise Island. They have been threatening the very easy going citizens of T&T ever since their failed coup. I need not even mention Nigeria, where they have been killing non Muslims since perhaps 1920.

I just can't believe that Obama who is extremely intelligent will be so blind to the atrocities of Muslims. This is dangerous. Very dangerous. If anything, this is one thing that Trump who I don't respect much should back out of. Muslims simply can't leave at peace with non Muslims.

This write-up was first posted on FB wall on February 2, 2017, to which I received a load of feedback some in agreement and some in total disbelief. I see it as a matter of life, the appreciation I have for my friends is that they have their own minds...

Quebec City Mosque massacre...

There is a calm head in the midst of all the madness. That person is the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He is indeed a true son of a very gentle and very civil Quebecan, who himself was a two time and maybe three time Canadian Prime Minister. His speech on Sunday January 25, 2017 will no doubt help to sooth the pains of the victims of the Quebec mosque killings.

Now back to the real issue. The ban on citizens of seven nations from entering the USA. I put the blame of these Arab and Muslim exclusion squarely on the Saudis so called royal house. Ironically Saudi Arabia is NOT on the list of the countries whose citizens are banned from entry into the United States. Fifteen out of the nineteen 9/11 assailants were from Saudi Arabia. It is the Saudi royal house who has spread and financed the Islamic intolerance in the form of Wahhabism all over the world.

It is in fact the Saudi royal house that pose the greatest danger to the world peace. The Wahhabisim which they have being spreading since perhaps 1979 teaches the worst form of religion bigotry. Indeed the Saudi royal house actively encourage the overthrow of the current world order and have it replaced with Islamic order, that will strictly be inline with prescribe of Sharia.

All over Africa the Saudis have financed genocide, where non Muslims were been routinely butchered with no exception to children and women, and their lands plundered and the women folks raped, and little children's heads chopped off. Recently in the Christian area of Southern Kaduna, Nigeria, the exact thing I have just stated here happened, right under the nose of the governor of Kaduna State, some even say the governor has his hands deep in the the killings.

Of course Bashir Assad can NOT be allowed to go scot free. One man alone, caused untold debilitation on the population of his country just because he wants for him alone to keep power. No one person is worth the price of the destruction the world has witnessed in Syrian. Bashir is responsible for the destabilization of the Middle east that is now over flowing with refuges.

ANY WHICH WAY YOU LOOK AT IT --- it does NOT look good at all.

your attack on me, blind sighted me and it was uncalled for...

Actual Date: Monday, January 9, 2017 1:04 PM

Chichi --- I thought we have a good understanding with me coming over to your place for the sole purpose of encouraging Enioluwa with his University prospects. The only reason I even talk to you at all, is because of the children, otherwise, there is absolutely no need for me to have any form of communications with you. 

Your attack on me on Saturday 1/7 was uncalled for and it is rude. It was done in the foulest of spirit. I have never so rudely attacked you in front of the children. You could have called me and mentioned it to me privately and not in front of the children. That right there is who you are, always looking to play to the gallery. How sad indeed.

I think you are taking my civility for license. Most of the time I just let your unsavory behavior slip by without making much of it, but it appears that it is now a pattern.

Did you ever hear me discussing my personal well being with you, I never thought there was a need to do so. 

But you on the other hand will call me and discuss stuffs that I consider rather personal, for the most part, I just put the phone down on the table while I let you rant to your heart desire. Of course I knew most of your rants were not for "testimonies" of what God has done for you; but for boasting purpose ONLY, such as your salary was $96,000 --- of course I knew right of the back that you have never in your life, and in that Garland job made over $50,000 a year. IRS filing put it at around $45,000 in 2011, this is a hard fact. In your delusional, warp mind, you have found a way to convince yourself that:

(i) you are Director on your job and 

(ii) the new one, that you make $96,000. 

Of course you know the truth, and the truth is hunting you like a bad dream. Chichi you are a pathological liar and a shameless human being with no honor and definitely no regards for the truth. Telling the truth appears not to be part of your upbringing because you lie effortlessly even when you don't have to.

Most people that you spin this lies to are not stupid, because they can read between the lines, they simply accede to your ego, and let you live in your own fantasy. 

What is it ever matter if you are (1) a Director [which you never were] or (2) make $96,000 [which you never made]??? 

Ordinary such things shouldn't matter, but for you, I guess it mattered, and you had to weave your ever so "fake reality" around falsehood. The sad thing is, no one, at least not I, has ever asked you for those personal information.

The point is let people ask you for those information first, and then, perhaps lie to them since it is in your DNA to lie anyways. 

But if you must on your own volunteer information that no one asked from you, by GOD, let it be nothing but the truth. Things that people like you hold to be important are not at all "big deal" to most reasonable honest people.

The $1500 that you receive in child support will soon be under review because, I will be getting married this year and starting my new family.

*** I did mention to you that I am going to use the children on Tax filling, I told you this as far back as May 2016. It is stated on the decree that such exercise should be done alternately. I have never once used the children on my tax form. You see how greedy you are, as if you made the children all by yourself. Being with you was like a curse, and everyday I thank God for delivering me.

Just when Enioluwa will need you the most --- you threatened that you would throw him out when he is 18. It is clear at that age you can no longer derive personal benefits for having him live with you. You can no longer get child support on him and possibly can not use him in your tax filing anymore as he would probably have to file on by himself. 

I have never seen or known any African, man or woman, who so openly threaten to throw out their children. Most, even after the children have graduated from the University, usually encourage their children to live at home to save money before they go out on their own. It is only you that I know of, who has made such a threat and it is a shame indeed.

*** I will also add this email to my blog on the internet.
