"NIGERIANS DO NOT NEED TO HAVE ANY SLEEPLESS NIGHTS OVER EBOLA"

The Ebola virus disease has existed for about 40 years now and with over 3,600 plus recorded cases to date. An average of 100 new infections yearly worldwide or 8 to 9 new infections every month. This disease has the natural capacity to always burn itself out without necessarily becoming a national health epidemic in any country that is affected, provided the family and the friends of those living with this disease do not touch any of the bodily fluids, which are the liquids that originate from inside the bodies of those persons living with this deadly disease in the name of love and caring for sick.

The bodily fluids are normally the excreted or the secreted liquids coming out from the human body, such as, blood, feces, pus, saliva, semen, tears, sweat, vomit, urine and vaginal secretion. The family and friends of those that die from this Ebola virus disease should also avoid touching the bodies of the dead during those ceremonial burial preparations in the name of their traditions, burial rites, cultures and showing their last affection to their loved ones who are now dead. The use of the medical quarantine or isolation of the persons that are affected by this Ebola virus disease and the bodies of those that are already dead from the same disease is the best practical method that can be used to contain the Ebola virus disease in any country that is affected effectively without becoming a major national health crisis. #NigeriaCanDefeatEbolaNow

WHO ATTEMPTED TO KILL GENERAL MUHAMMADU BUHARI OF NIGERIA?

The answer points to the two different directions. Buhari's two main enemies today in the whole world are the PDP led- government of Jonathan Goodluck and the Boko Haram terrorist group in all reality, truth and honesty. Buhari remains the most significant threat to both entities in Nigeria and in all ramifications. The reelection of Jonathan Goodluck back to the Aso Rock villa in 2015 is going to be a very daunting political task if Buhari becomes the APC presidential candidate in 2015. Buhari has and enjoys huge political base in the Northern Nigeria that can practically guarantee him a very solid victory in the biggest voting block of Nigeria. The APC present political control of the South-West of Nigeria which is also the second biggest voting block in the country can pose a very significant obstacle to the reelection of Jonathan Goodluck in 2015. Buhari is the biggest living political barrier to Jonathan Goodluck and his reelection in 2015.

The Boko Haram terrorist group that wants the Islamization of the Northern Nigeria, the abolition of the western type of democracy and education, the immediate return to the full rule of Sharia as well as the suppression of women and girls sees Buhari as the biggest enemy to their political and religious goals for the Northern Nigeria today. Buhari is the biggest symbol of the representative democracy in the entire Northern Nigeria today. Buhari has the largest political followers in the Northern Nigeria. Buhari as a military dictator turned democratic leader now believes in the secular governance (separation between state and religion), the constitutional rule and western education. This is the main reason why the Boko Haram publicly announced to the world that Buhari is one of their targets they plan to eliminate. Finally:who wants General Muhammadu Buhari dead? Time will surely tell. #ThePDPGovernmentOrBokoHaram.

"MOST NIGERIANS ARE WORSE OFF TODAY UNDER THIS DEMOCRACY"

Nigerians are worse off today under this democratically elected government than anytime that I knew in the recent history of the governance of this country and in my own personal judgement. Nigerians are poorer today than anytime that I knew in the history of that country. Nigerians are more jobless, helpless and hopeless today than anytime that I knew in the past in that country. Nigerians earn lower wages today than anytime in the past.

The Nigerian Naira is weaker today than in the past. The standard of living of most Nigerians and their purchasing power are lower today than in the past years or decades. There is more unemployment today in Nigeria than in the past decades. There is more insecurity to the life and properties of Nigerians today than under any administration that I knew. The health care delivery in Nigeria today is worse than anytime that I knew. The quality of public education today in Nigeria is lower than in the years or decades that have gone by.

Nigerians have less access to the basic social services today than in the past. The national inflation rate on goods and services is higher today than under any government of the past. The unabated official corruption, resource mismanagement, oil bunkering, tax evasion, smuggling, dubious import duty waivers and money laundering are more rampant today than anytime in the past that I have personally witnessed or known growing up in that country.

The age-long Nigerian Dream of good paying job, car and home ownership, decent living and retirement is eluding more Nigerians today than anytime in the life of that country. The only beneficiaries from the Nigeria's democracy of the last 15 years are the 17,500 (0.01% of all Nigerians) public elected and appointed state officials at all levels and their cronies who are milking the nation's resources dry in the name of democracy, public service, the privatization of those lucrative public corporations and the oil blocs #DemocracyForTheNigerianPoliticalElite

"MY LETTER TO THE PASTORS AND IMAMS OF NIGERIA ON EBOLA"

The Ebola virus disease is real and alive just like the HIV/AIDS since it was first identified in Sudan and in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1976. The biggest outbreak of the Ebola virus disease since its detection almost 40 years ago is now affecting the nations of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone in the West African subregion resulting in 759 cases and 467 deaths since March of 2014. The infection rates and the deaths from the Ebola virus disease in West Africa are as follow:Guinea has 413 cases and 303 deaths, Sierra Leone has 239 cases and 99 death, Liberia has 107 cases and 65 deaths and Nigeria has one case and one death so far.

The first case of Ebola virus disease was confirmed in Lagos on Thursday which later resulted in the death of the man from Liberia who had this disease. There is no vaccine for Ebola virus disease at the moment. The transmission of this disease is from one person to another through physical contact and the exchange of body fluids, such as, blood, sweat, saliva, mucus, tears, semen and vaginal secretion from a person with this disease to another person without this disease. The Ebola virus disease is not an air-born disease. 

Since most Nigerians are either Christians or Muslims by their religious faiths and these Nigerians attend their local Churches and Mosques at least once a week. I will advice the pastors and the imams of Nigeria to share those medically proven and tested preventive measures against the Ebola virus disease with their congregations. These pastors and imams can also support the effort of the federal government of Nigeria and the local authorities by posting those important health advisory information about how to prevent Ebola virus disease on their bulletin boards, service leaflets and social media. To be foretold is to be forewarned. A stitch in time will always save nine in Nigeria. #EbolaInNigeria

"EBOLA IN NIGERIA:PREVENTION IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN A CURE"

Lagos is the main commercial nerve center of Nigeria and with about 22 million residents that lack access to the modern health care delivery and proper sanitation. The one suspected case of Ebola that was reported in Lagos yesterday and it is now under medical evaluation both locally and internationally is a good step in the right direction.

The medical knowledge of the Ebola which is one of the most deadly diseases in the world today is still lacking amongst the millions of Lagos residents. The traditional culture of superstition and religious belief amongst Nigerians can be the biggest barrier and the most serious obstacle to any effective fight against Ebola in Lagos in particular and in Nigeria in general. 

The successive Nigerian governments did not consider HIV/AIDS in the 1980s and 1990s to be a national health disaster at that time when a handful of cases of HIV/AIDS were medically identified in Nigeria. The government was late and reluctant in educating the citizens about the health dangers of HIV infection and those effective prevention measures against HIV/AIDS infection. Most Nigerians also rejected those suggested preventive measures, such as, sexual abstinence, the use of condom, sticking to one sex partner and HIV testing due to their traditional and religious beliefs.

The effect of this development has now resulted in the biggest health care crisis in Nigeria today with hundreds of thousands of deaths resulting yearly since the 1990s and with more than 4.5 million Nigerians who are now living daily with this HIV/AIDS. The infection rate in Nigeria is now the second highest number of new infections reported each year worldwide and with an estimated 3.7 percent of the Nigerian population who are living with HIV.

I hope the government of Nigeria and Nigerians who are at the risk of this Ebola infection will not treat it carelessly this time around in the same way and manner that the HIV/AIDS was treated in the past. The primary responsibility of the government is to continue to isolate the suspected cases of Ebola nationwide, aggressively educate Nigerians about the symptoms of Ebola and the preventive measures against Ebola infection. A stitch in time will always save nine in Nigeria. #ThePreventionOfEbolaIsBetterThanItsCure

"NIGERIANS AND CAR OWNERSHIP IN THE 21ST CENTURY HUMAN UNIVERSE"

The Punch newspaper of Nigeria reported that about 60,000 new cars and 200,000 used cars are sold yearly in the Nigeria's automobile market in a country of 170 million consumers and the largest economy as well as the consumers' market in Africa. Let us do the simple math here:the ratio is one new car to 2,833 Nigerians and one used car to 850 Nigerians. This data above means that most Nigerians will never own a car either a new one or a used one in their lifetime. It means that most Nigerians will continue to depend totally on the public transport for life. It means that car ownership in Nigeria whether it is new or used is meant for the wealthy and the top middle class Nigerians. It means that cars in Nigeria will continue to be a sign of status quo, well-to-do, luxury and never a necessity in all reality. As long as most Nigerians live below the present poverty line, lack of economic opportunities and earn the poverty wages that are paid to most of the Nigerian workers, then, the Nigerian Dream of car ownership will continue to be a dream for many and never a reality for most Nigerians"‪#‎CarOwnershipWillContinueToEludeMostNigerians

"HOW TO ACHIEVE PERMANENT PEACE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE" - JIMMY CARTER

The answer is in a two-state solution. The former American President Jimmy Carter has already proposed this political solution in his highly controversial book he titled "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid" that became the New York Times' best seller when it was published in 2006. In that book, Jimmy Carter identifies "two interrelated obstacles to permanent peace in the Middle East:(i). Some Israelis believe they havethe right to confiscate and colonize Palestinian land and try to justify the sustained subjugation and persecution of increasingly hopeless and aggravated Palestinians; and (ii) Some Palestinians react by honoring suicide bombers as martyrs to be rewarded in heaven and consider the killing of Israelis as victories.

To bring an end to what he calls "this continuing tragedy". Carter calls for a revitalization of the peace process based on the following three "key requirements":
(a). The security of Israel must be guaranteed.
(b). The internal debate within Israel must be resolved in order to define Israel's permanent legal boundary.
(c). The sovereignty of all Middle East nations and sanctity of international borders must be honored. ‪#‎PermanentPeaceInTheMiddleEast‬ 

"NIGERIANS:GET READY FOR POLITICAL SURPRISES OF YOUR LIFETIME"

Nigerians are in for one of the biggest shockers of their lifetime between now and the 2015 presidential election. President Jonathan Goodluck has continued to use the federal purse and the military power to have his way as he prepares to return back to the Aso Rock villa by any means necessary.

This do or die type of dirty politics has already been seen and witnessed in Ekiti State in the last gubernatorial election there with the militarization of the state, the arrest of journalists and APC state officials as well as the banning of the Rivers State and Edo State governors from coming to Ekiti State. 
The same style was used two days ago in Adamawa State to remove Murtala Nyako from office by bribing that state House of Assembly members with $300,000 each and then forced the deputy governor to resign from office under duress and heavy military presence. 

Nigerians have also witnessed how this government attempted unsuccessfully to impose an Emir of their own choice on the people of Kano by opening a fake Twitter account that said Sanusi Lamido was not nominated and had already congratulated the new Emir. 

The ruling party, the PDP also went ahead to congratulate the Emir of their own choice to stir up crisis in Kano when the selection process by the kingmakers was still going on. This President Jonathan Goodluck has also refused to date to officially congratulate the appointed Emir of Kano by the kingmakers and the Kano State government. 

The government of Jonathan Goodluck also grounded the private planes of their perceived political enemies who were in Kano from flying out of the Bayero International Airport. This government also forced the new Emir Sanusi Lamido to take a temporary refuge at the Kano State government house after his official nomination and coronation by preventing him from going to his traditional palace after those official coronation ceremonies were done in line with the traditions of the people of Kano #NigeriansAreInForPoliticalShockersFromThisGovernment.

WHY IS ADDITIONAL $1 BILLION NEEDED TO FIGHT BOKO HARAM IN NIGERIA?

WHY IS ADDITIONAL $1 BILLION NEEDED BY JONATHAN GOODLUCK TO FIGHT BOKO HARAM IN NIGERIA? Nigeria has already allocated almost $6 billion (about 20% of the nation's budget) out of the entire $29.3 billion to the defense in her 2014 official state budget that this President has already signed into law. 
(i). Why is additional $1 billion needed before the end of the year when the fiscal year of 2014 is just halfway gone and with almost six months left to go? (ii). What happened to the $6 billion that was allocated for defense?
(iii). Why was Abuja successfully hit twice by these terrorists and Lagos was hit once, the hundreds of Chibok school girls were kidnapped and the terrorist attacks were so frequent across Northern Nigeria despite the $6 billion on the nation's defense budget this year?
(iv), Why is Nigeria not ready to take this additional $1billion from our $40 billion foreign reserves instead of taking a loan with a huge interest rate from any of the foreign financial institutions that will also increase our debt profile as a country and affect the value of the Nigerian Naira internationally?
(v). Why does Nigeria still need additional $1billion on her defense this year despite that fact that our military has continued to receive military assistance and support from America, Britain and France to date?‪#‎LootingNigeriaInTheNameOfFightingTerrorism‬

"THE REAL ENEMIES OF NIGERIA"

It is so sad that most of the present and the past state officials in Nigeria today that the ordinary Nigerians hero-worship and defend in the name of their ethnic groups, religious affiliations and geopolitical origins are the real enemies number one of that country in all truth, honesty and reality. These leaders cleverly and diabolically over many decades destroyed with official corruption and sold out those highly lucrative state parastatals, such as NEPA, NIPOST and NITEL that were all built with our state resources and tax payers' money at a give-a-away prices to themselves and their friends in the name of the privatization and indigenalization policies.

These heavily corrupt and unpatriotic leaders of Nigeria systematically over the decades destroyed the cash crop farming (cocoa, coffee, rubber, and groundnut, the local agriculture and the domestic food production which allowed them to give those import licenses to themselves and their cronies for the importation of food products into Nigeria that are then sold without official regulations and inspection at those ridiculous prices to Nigerians and for maximum profits.

These rogue state officials cunningly destroyed the once internationally known. highly patronized and lucrative as well as respected Nigerian Airways to give room for the existence of those private airlines that fly planes that are not air worthy and employ workers that do not know their jobs. These leaders planned and killed the Nigerian Ports Authority to pave way for themselves and their friends by setting up those privately owned shipping lines and businesses. The rice mill project that was a big photo opportunity for President Jonathan Goodluck of Nigeria yesterday will not succeed for too long because it will directly kill the huge and the corrupt avenues through which those rice importers have continued to enrich themselves and their cronies through the exploiting of the poor Nigerian consumers for decades.

These state officials intentionally killed all our local refineries by refusing to maintain and to expand them by building new refineries which allowed their selected oil importers to make money upon money from Nigerians. These enemies of Nigeria in government also destroyed the Peugeot Automobile of Nigeria (PAN) in Kaduna and the Volkswagen of Nigeria (VON) in Lagos that were both built with the tax payers' money, thereby paving the way for themselves and their cronies to become automobile importers in Nigeria.

These morons that most Nigerians call their leaders and heros also successively killed all our local manufacturing industries for their own friends to become the primary importers of those goods and services to Nigeria. These state officials for decades underfunded the federal universities in order to establish their own private universities today for huge profit making that most common Nigerians will never attend and can never afford to attend them in their lifetime. ‪#‎TheRealEnemiesOfNigeria

"SULE LAMIDO IS THE BEST GOVERNOR IN NIGERIA TODAY"

The proof is in the pudding today in Jigawa State of Nigeria. Sule Lamido has invested the meagre state resources into modern infrastructures, agriculture, education, health care and sustainable energy sources with the primary goals of poverty alleviation and wealth creation. Jigawa State now has the most extensive and modern road network systems in Nigeria today. Jigawa State under Sule Lamido built the Rasheed Shekoni Specialist Hospital in Dutse which is now the best tertiary and teaching hospital in Nigeria today. Sule Lamido is the number one governor in Nigeria with massive investment into the solar energy resources making the state a leader in green energy in Nigeria today.

On education, Sule Lamido has renovated and modernized over 100 high schools. Education is now made mandatory for all the male students in Jigawa State today and it is free for female students up to the university level. Sule Lamido has also met his target of providing safe drinking water to the people of Jigawa State by the year 2010 through the building of hundreds of modern wells and boreholes across his state. On housing, giant housing estates are springing up across the state with over 450 new duplexes already constructed outside Dutse, the state capital.

At the Ramadan breakfast meeting with his party leaders in Dutse, Sule Lamido said this "Today, I am proud to say that I have not only accomplished but delivered all the campaign promises I made even with extra more in terms of developing Jigawa state and bringing dividend of democracy to my people. We have provided the best of roads, the best airport, best working environment for civil servants, best health care service, best education system, best judicial system, solid foundation for economic and infrastructural development, and above all we promote discipline, due process, rule of law patriotism and respect to human dignity among ourselves and our young generation. We made sure that we added value to everything and on everyone in Jigawa including my “detractors who have been fighting me tooth and nail to get relevance outside Jigawa. I challenge anybody to judge my statement from the book I presented during my inaugural speech in 2007”‪#‎TheBestGovernorInNigeriaToday‬.

"THE SO CALLED KINGDOM ECONOMY IS A FRAUD AND A PONZI SCHEME"

There is only one economy in the world that works equally for both Christians and non-Christians, tithers and non-tithers, offering givers and non-offering givers. It is the human economy that has evolved over thousands of years. It started first as trade by barter (agricultural economy) and then transformed into the today's 21st century economy that involves the financial institutions, global currencies, central banks of nations, global and stock markets. This human economy is based primarily on the exchange of goods and services through the basic economics laws of demand and supply. Money in that economy is not made by giving of one's tithes, first-fruits and offerings to his or her Church and to the pastor. 

Making money in this life and in that human economy can only be done by the offering of one's services to meet the needs of others in particular and the society in general, and in return you are paid or rewarded for your offered services. These services may be offered through employment, business ownership or entrepreneurship and investments. The Church of Jesus Christ and his grace gospel were never designed by God for poverty alleviation, wealth creation and for the securing of a financial future for the Christians. The so called "Kingdom Economy" is a first-class fraud and a ponzi scheme in all reality that is designed to directly enrich its own preachers through the collection of the money of those gullible and vulnerable followers and givers to that type of greed gospel. In return, these preachers give their givers those false hope and promises for their money"‪#‎MoneyResidesInTheHumanEconomyAndNotInTheKingdomEconomy‬

"REGIONALISM IS BETTER FOR NIGERIA THAN THE PRESENT 36 STATES"

The present 36 states in Nigeria are all welfare states that depend 100% on the federal purse in Abuja to make a daily living or survival. They are not economically viable, a conduit for debt creation, treasury looting and the massive resource mismanagement. Nigerians are worse off today under these 36 federating units than under the old four regions at her independence in 1960. The only time in the history of independent Nigeria to date that the real human and infrastructural developments were visible were in the days of those four regional governments (North, West, Mid-West and East).

Under these four regional governments, agriculture was viable and was the number one priority, education was quality and highly accessible to all, health care was working and affordable, social services were available, civil service was thriving, exportation of cash crops were the order of the day, scholarships and grants were made available to students for higher education locally and abroad, farmers had access to loans, civil servants had access to housing and car loans, there was food security and international tourism was booming. The regions generated their own incomes, paid their workers on time, were debt free, economically viable and built those modern infrastructures ‪#‎BackToRegionalismAndNotToStateCreation

"THE REASONS WHY NIGERIA FACES A VERY BLEAK FUTURE AT THE MOMENT"

Whenever I decide to personally write about the events of our time in Nigeria, I own no Nigerians any apologies anywhere for my position on those boiling issues. Nigeria is a country where the national poverty rate and the youth unemployment rate both grow yearly. Nigeria is a country where the standard of education depreciates with time. Nigeria is a country where the standard of living of the majority of Nigerians goes down as time marches forward. Nigeria is the a country where the official corruption and resource mismanagement worsen from the outgoing government or administration to the new government of the day.

 Nigeria is a country where the national health care collapses with time and then becomes more unaffordable for most Nigerians with time. Nigeria is a country where her national infrastructures become outdated, overcrowded and falling apart with time. Nigeria is a country where the social services disappear with time. Nigeria is a country where election riggings worsen with time. Nigeria is a country where the national insecurity to life and properties goes from bad to worse every year. Nigeria is a country where the principle of the supremacy of the law of the land is not applicable in all reality to all Nigerians. Nigeria is a country where there is no equality before the same law of the land and well as equal justice and treatment under the same law of the land" #AFailingNationInAllReality

"NIGERIA'S PROBLEMS ARE NOT ROTATIONAL PRESIDENCY AND MORE STATES"

ARE THE ROTATIONAL PRESIDENCY AND THE CREATION OF MORE STATES THE REAL PROBLEMS OF NIGERIA IN 2014? The members of the ongoing Nigerian National Conference in Abuja are typical first-class clowns, jokers, entertainers, jesters and carnival backers in my own personal judgement with their new proposals for the rotational presidency between the North and the South and the creation of more states in Nigeria.

Nigeria as a nation has been governed by both the Northerners and the Southerners as well as by Christians and Muslims in the last 54 years and Nigerians have never lived in heaven on earth to date under these various leaders. The successive governments in Nigeria changed the original four regions of the country at independence into 12 states in 1967, then 19 states in 1976 and later 36 states without anything to truly show for these many state creations to date in terms of both the human and the infrastructural developments across the 36 states of Nigeria.

The biggest problems that face Nigeria today in our lifetime are not the proposed rotational presidency or the creation of more states, but the corrupt, inept and mediocre leadership that continues to steal our commonwealth and to also mismanage our state resources. Another problem in Nigeria today is the lack of the rule of law in place that supports selective justice by protecting the looters of Nigeria from the full weight of the law and does not guarantee equal justice and equality before the same supreme law of the land in Nigeria to all Nigerians.

What is the position on the Confab on the 80% of Nigerians that live on $1 to $2 a day budget? What plan is put in place to address the double-digit youth unemployment rate and poverty wages that millions of Nigerian workers earn? Do they have any plan in plan to address and to solve our rapidly failing educational system, the collapsing national health care system, the outdated and the overcrowded national infrastructures and the lack of the basic social services for Nigerians. Any plan in place to address the national insecurity to life and properties of all Nigerians including the terrorism of the Boko Haram?‪#‎TheWrongPrioritiesForNigeria‬

"SOCCER IS NOW PART OF THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE"

America was not a traditional soccer-playing nation in her rich sporting history. The most popular sports in America are the American football, basketball, baseball and ice hockey. Today, the story is totally different. The whole nation of America is fully excited about the soccer match that is slated for today between America and Belgium at 4pm EST. So many huge public television view centers have popped up across the major cities of the United States in preparation for today's game that will go down in the history of soccer in America as the most viewed. America is rapidly becoming a soccer nation in our lifetime. Mr. Pele, the global soccer icon attempted to establish the professional football in America in the 1990s unsuccessfully. 

Today is 2014, America now has 16 functioning soccer leagues with more to spring up in the nearest future and more American cities are building new soccer stadia. All the 14,000 public school districts, thousands of other parochial, private and charter schools as well as over 4,000 colleges and universities in America now have growing soccer programs and competitions. About 35% of US citizens are now foreign-born who migrated into the United States mainly from the nations around the world that are historically and traditionally known as the soccer-playing societies. The love of soccer has finally arrived into the United States despite all these odds" ‪#‎AmericaIsNowASoccerNationIn2014‬.
