ARE THESE NIGERIANS IN DIASPORA A BLESSING OR A CURSE TO NIGERIA TODAY?

It is estimated that between 5 to 10 million Nigerians have their permanent abode in the 213 other countries of the world today in the year 2013. Majority of these Nigerians were born and bred in Nigeria before they decided for all the reasons that are reasonable or unreasonable to many under the sun before they relocated abroad. These millions of Nigerians in the diaspora today still have strong family and social ties that are still deeply rooted in Nigeria today. Many of these Nigerians in diaspora are the major source of pride to themselves, their families and Nigerian nation because of their personal achievements and accomplishments in life abroad. Many other Nigerians that are living in the diaspora at the moment are also very busy soiling the names and their reputations with their criminal activities and dirty deals in these foreign lands.

Today, according to the Western Union, MoneyGram and the other foreign currency transferring agencies, these Nigerians that are living abroad send home close to $10 billion yearly or 33% of the Nigeria's annual budget to their families and friends in Nigeria. The money they send home is helping directly to alleviate many Nigerians from the effects of the chronic or abject poverty, especially in the life of their direct family members and friends. This money that they remit home regularly is also a major boost to the Nigeria's national and local economy which increases the availability of hard currencies at home and the local consumer spending in Nigeria. In conclusion and in all reality:are these Nigerians that live presently in diaspora a curse or a blessing to the Nigerian nation today? Think about it objectively.

"PRESIDENT JONATHAN GOODLUCK PLAYS A GAME OF HIDE AND SEEK WITH NIGERIANS ABOUT 2015"

‎THE HEIGHT OF POLITICS OF HYPOCRISY AND DECEPTION FROM THE PRESIDENT JONATHAN GOODLUCK OF NIGERIA:Several news media in and out of Nigeria reported two days ago that the campaign posters that are promoting the political ambition of the current Nigeria's President for a reelection back to the Aso Rock despite his very poor job performance so far have flooded the nooks and crannies of Abuja.

The presidency responded to these campaign posters by disowning them but will not investigate their sources or those behind those posters or even ordered them to be pulled down immediately. Who is really fooling who here? Is GEJ not secretly testing the Nigeria's muddy political waters, the nation's public opinion and the reactions of the Nigerians to his desire to return back to Abuja in 2015?

Did Babangida not play the same game of hide and seek with Nigerians in the 1980s and 1990s about his deceptive political transition plan to return Nigeria back to the civilian rule? Did Sanni Abacha not try the same game of deception by trying to change his military uniform for a civilian attire? Did Obasanjo not act in the same trickish and cunning manner about his 3rd term agenda plan which he secretly financed with his Ghana-must-go bags without publicly denying the rumors that were circulating at that time in Nigeria about his political ambition to change the Nigeria's constitution that will allow him to take another shot at the presidency as a life President?

"ALJAZEERA HAS FINALLY PENETRATED THE POWERFUL AMERICA'S NEWS MARKET"

The establishment of the Al Jazeera satellite television station about 16 years ago and its uncensored daily coverage of the major political, economic, religious, cultural and social developments in the Middle East in particular and the rest of the world in general has continued to educate and to empower the tens of millions of the ordinary Arabs with the political education and the global exposure that they lacked for decades under their brutal dictators and maximum rulers.

The Al Jazeera Media Network announced on its official website today that "it will launch a new U.S.-based news channel that will provide both domestic news and international news for American audiences. Al Jazeera Media Network also said that it has acquired Current TV in the United States and that the new U.S.-based news channel will be available on Current’s distribution network when it is launched in 2013. There will be a transition from existing programming until the new Al Jazeera channel begins to air."

With this major development in the news world today in America, the Al Jazeera Media Network has truly come out of age to now become one of the leaders in the field of global news gathering, global news coverage and global news dissemination in this 21st century human universe. The coming of Al Jazeera into the powerful America's news sector is also a welcome development for healthy competition, balanced news coverage and reporting as well as diverse perspectives on the many global issues of our world of today. Finally, Al Jazeera will now give the huge traditional news media in America, such as the ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBS, Foxnews and the others a run for their news disseminations that are either from a liberal viewpoint or from a conservative position.

"THE WORST 112TH CONGRESS IN THE AMERICAN HISTORY IS GONE FOREVER"

Today marked the end of the worst 112th Congress in the history of the American democracy and the rocky Washington politics. Today also simultaneously marked the beginning of the 113th Congress that is the most racially diverse in composition and has the largest number of women in the history of the United States Congress. There are now 100 women in the 113th Congress out of 535 total number of Congress members. 20 women out of the 100 senators and 80 women out of the 435 House members respectively.

Americans will continue to remember for a long time the most dangerous political brinkmanship that was the order of the day in Washington for the entire life of this 112th Congress in power. The politics of compromise that allows the smooth governance in a multi-party politics and representative democracy became their worst political enemy in Washington with the Congress. This 112th Congress also received the worst public opinion polls of 11% which is still the worst rating of any Congress in the last 100 years of the American democracy. This 112th Congress divided further the major public opinions in America on all burning national issues. This Congress used their dirty Tea Party ideologies to make the American government to default for the first time on her foreign loan obligations and this led to the downgrading of the credit worthiness of the United States of America by the international credit rating agencies for the first time also in history. This 112th Congress also made American government to go over the fiscal cliff for the first time in the history of American government.

The  new 113th Congress that was inaugurated today will face one of the biggest political challenges in America, such as the political battle to raise the debt ceiling that is coming up in the next few weeks, the divisive politics of how to reduce the America's ever rising deficits and huge foreign debt, the highly volatile politics of gun ownership and control that has already divided the national public opinions in America, the estimated 12-20 million undocumented illegal immigrants that are living under the shadow in American today and the America's porous and unfair tax codes that favor the richest Americans and the biggest corporations.

"THE MOST DANGEROUS POLITICS AND POLITICIANS IN AMERICA TODAY"

The constitution of the United States is the foundation for her representative democracy and it is based on the multi-party politics, general voting, the principle of share responsibility and national compromise in the official governance of the American nation. America has used this principle since her inception as a sovereign nation in 1776 to become the most prosperous country in the entire human history. The election of President Barack Obama to the White House in 2008 ushered in the worst political oppositions and divisions ever seen in Washington to date in the modern American history.

The 112th Congress that came into Washington in 2010 will go down in the annals of the history of this great nation and her democracy as the worst, the most divisive, the most polarized and the most inefficient Congress in the entire American history and the Washington politics in the last 100 years. This sit-for-nothing Congress put their party politics, party loyalty, party interests and ideologies above the American nation and her people in every legislative decision that they have considered in the last two years. 

This present Congress in Washington, DC for the first time in the America's history used their myopic political agendas led by the Tea Party radical elements of the House Republicans to almost shut down the entire activities of the federal government of America and to force the America's credit worthiness to be downgraded by the various international credit agencies for the first time in modern times which resulted in the rapid global economic uncertainties around the world.

This 112th Congress is also very notorious for their dirty politics of hypocrisy, politics of sentiments, politics of racism, politics of religious bigotry and fanatism, politics of just say anything in an election year just to win an election, politics of by all means at all cost, politics of special interests, politics of flip-flopping on the most important national issues and foreign policies in American today, politics of exclusion of certain races or ethnic groups, politics of intentionally and publicly misinforming the American voters about the most important national facts and figures that affect them in particular and this nation as well as our 21st century world in general.

In conclusion, for America to continue in this 21st century as the world's leader, she will need politicians and politics that bring this nation and her highly divisive national issues together based on the politics of compromise or politics of give and take for the benefit of all Americans from all the races and backgrounds in particular and for our entire 21st century human universe in general.

WHAT TRULY LIES AHEAD OF NIGERIA IN THE MIDST OF HER HUGE CRISES?

I will start this write-up with a quote from an interview that was granted by Margaret Thatcher, the former Iron Lady British Prime Minister to the Newsweek magazine on September 2, 1991. In that interview she said ''the lesson of this century is that countries put together artificially will fall apart. National identities will not be suppressed". Three possible human events may take place any moment from now in Nigeria as she moves into the future surrounded with huge and divisive national crises. The Federal Republic of Nigeria is now showing clearly all the important signs and the true symptoms of a failed country in the making. 

The possibility of a mass-based, grass root powered and peoples' oriented revolution that will cut across all the Nigeria's six geopolitical zones, ethnic nationalities and religious groups with the primary purpose of removing the present rotten, inefficient and corrupt political and economic status quo is getting remote day in and day out as a result of the rising ethnic loyalties, cultural identities and  religious divisions amongst the suffering 160 million ordinary Nigerians.

The possibility of a military coup de tat that will come from a group of highly ambitious military officers who believe that they are the true Messiahs who can save the rapidly deteriorating Nigerian state is very possible if the current insecurity of life and properties continue to deteriorate to the point that the central government in Abuja does no longer have the full control of the situations on the ground as well as the real legitimacy over the major part of the Nigerian territories. The military take-over if it ever happened in all reality will surely be heavily confronted with armed insurrections from the heavily armed Boko Haram in the Northern Nigeria and the several militant groups in the Niger Delta as well as across the entire Nigerian federation.

The last major human event that will shape or change the destiny of Nigeria may take place when the  present situations today go from bad to worst. This development may force the United Nations and the western powers with their deep economic interests in Nigeria to force the central government in Abuja to immediately convene the much needed Referendum or the Sovereign National Conference of all the ethnic nationalities, religious faiths and the pressure groups in Nigeria. This internationally engineered conference or referendum will then decide the future of the Nigerian state either through a confederacy of her six geopolitical zones for more autonomy or the final secession of her ethnic nationalities into many independent smaller nations based on the international principle of self-determination of the Nigeria's 450 ethnic nationalities and her two major religious groups (Christianity and Islam).

IS BIBLE A ROCKET SCIENCE TO THE HUMAN INTELLECT?

THE DOCTRINE OF THE BIBLE IS NOT A ROCKET SCIENCE:The biblical doctrine or biblical teachings as well as its divine truths and revelations are not rocket science in nature that cannot be fully digested, comprehended and understood by the power of the human intellect that is supported with the full guardian of the Holy Spirit, our perfect teacher. Every objective reader of the Bible can know personally and beyond any iota of doubt whether any teaching or doctrine that is taught today by any of the so called men of God or the different Church denominations in the human universe are truly part of the Bible, truly part of the words and the teachings of the Jesus Christ and are truly part of the New Covenant realities and its better promises or not.

There is no single subject matter in the entire 66 books of the Bible that is a no go area of the Bible for any reader. There is no single part of the entire Bible that cannot and must not be examined critically, deeply, openly, thoroughly, objectively, systematically, historically, secularly, read in full detail, understood properly, precisely looked into and clearly seen.
