Anti-Igbo-Biafran music being circulated in the Northern Nigeria encouraging Hausa/Fulani to commit another round of Pogrom against the Biafrans. Listen to the music and read the attached transcript.
First I want to appeal to Almighty Allah to help me in this song not to deviate, these useless children of thieves and unemployed. Igbos in Nigeria have no sun.
Chorus:
Igbos (Inyamirin) are ungrateful people and fools
Igbos are a curse to Nigeria, whose existence and birth as a people in Nigeria is useless, that abortion is greater than the birth of the bastards.

Let’s drag and drag and see who will sleep in the sun,
Igbo land, in the beginning, has no name, they were helped to get name and identity. And that’s the beginning of their trouble.

Chorus:
Igbos (Inyamirin) are ungrateful people and fools
Igbos are a curse to Nigeria, whose existence and birth as a people in Nigeria is useless, that abortion is greater than the birth of the bastards.

Please let’s ask, who is an Igbo, it’s Igbo that suffered and said he needs water and that’s how we started calling them Inyamuri.

Chorus:
Igbos are a curse to Nigeria, whose existence and birth as a people in Nigeria is useless, that abortion is greater than the birth of the bastards.

Igbos are a curse to Nigeria, whose existence and birth as a people in Nigeria is useless, that abortion is greater than the birth of the bastards.

Igbos who are doing rubbish work, they tried us in the past but couldn’t succeed. Your leader who led the rebellion told you to repent and don’t venture into fruitless war.

Chorus:
Igbos are a curse to Nigeria, whose existence and birth as a people in Nigeria is useless, that abortion is greater than the birth of the bastards.
A child doesn’t know fire until he marches on it and realizes, you will not be able to quench this fire you ignited. Stupid and shameless boy if you fit we are waiting. Let the country be divided and let’s see who will cry.
Chorus:
Igbos are a curse to Nigeria, whose existence and birth as a people in Nigeria is useless, that abortion is greater than the birth of the bastards.
We knew they have nothing since their origin, it was with the money of the north, that oil was explored and found. We are farming and grazing with our cattle and knew they have nothing.

Chorus:
Igbos are a curse to Nigeria, whose existence and birth as a people in Nigeria is useless, that abortion is greater than the birth of the bastards.

We northerners farm beans and they have nothing, we farm rice and they have nothing, they neither farm potatoes nor cocoa yam. They don’t have wheat, pepper, no grains and nothing. No onions and groundnuts, we eat surplus and gave southerners food. Let the country be divided, let the country be divided, we northerners are saying let the country split.

You said you don’t want us, we too we don’t want you anymore. This is our land and not someone father’s land, brothers and sisters. We have all it takes.
Igbos are the ones that ruined this country, we all know that they are the ones disguising as Fulani killing people and committing armed robbery, they are the ones blocking roads and also disguising as Boko Haram killing people without shame.

They are the ones destroying our youths and children with drugs, let the country be divided because Igbos have no any day.
They did not support our President but rigged him out. Only Yorubas supported and collaborated with us. Hausa and Fulani too collaborated but Igbos refused and we don’t want them anymore.
They inherited nothing but useless things from their origin, they did so many atrocities in the past. They killed Sardauna, Sir Ahmadu Bello our hero, they did same with Sir Abubakar Tafawa-Balewa.

Chorus:
Igbos are a curse to Nigeria, whose existence and birth as a people in Nigeria is useless, that abortion is greater than the birth of the bastards.

Arf! Hello humans!

IS NIGERIA THE NEXT HAITI
- Pat Utomi
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Poverty pummels the Island country just as ferocious Hurricanes visit it from time to time with fury and the anger of a violated person. But few people know that the highest per capita income in the world in 1789 was not Britain, Germany or the United states. It was Haiti’s Plantation economy. As the Oil age looks clearly to be coming to a close, and clever countries have used savings from Oil to build future potential, it seems fair to wonder if Nigeria will be the next Haiti. The Tea Leaves, unless something dramatic happens, points to Nigeria travelling that sad highway. This reflection, frankly, and sadly, is a story of a personal recurring cry for a beloved country as the path to perdition has been persistently opted for. Can we save our country from being like Haiti, the economy that did not change, and literally died.

Surely I wish for differently than for Nigeria to be the next Haiti. But it would be foolish to ignore reality staring you in the face. I can imagine that many in Haiti at the time James Watt redesigned the steam engine, setting off the Industrial revolution, must have been carrying on as the vast majority of the Nigerian elite are today. To live in denial is as old as history, but as students of why societies fail, like Jared Diamond (Collapse), and of the grand March of history, like in Nial Ferguson, show, with evidence, the consequences can come home to roost.

Forget for a second, the hypebole of Nigeria as a failed or failing state, and just compare how Nigeria stacks up against its peers on almost all measures of progress. On the MDGs we rank below many cotton bowl economies of the African Sahel, the basket cases of the misery index. The recent PWC report on investment flows show Nigeria at the base in Africa. On infrastructure where Nigeria once won a Gold medal for highway development in the 1970s the score today is pathetic. All of this is with oil selling at decent prices. But the wise know this will not be for long. Oil price crash of three years ago provided a great opportunity for correction. But our political class waited for Paris Club refunds, improved oil prices and the excuse of spending your way out of recession to continue the traditions of borrowing up a burden of amortization to an innocent unborn generation. Where is the production orientation and work ethic to earn enough, without Oil, which has run its course, to amortize the piling debt. Our near coming history is disaster that gave notice but seems ready to surprise us. Yet those who governed Nigeria into this cul de sac have swagger. Instead of hiding in anticipation of what an uprising of the youth whose future they may have made less hopeful could do to them, they talk as if they are triumphalists and even dare to abuse those who warn that we will be where we have now come to.

Why is this so? Is it the depth of ignorance of the damage they have done; or the nature of the seared conscience that they could not give a hoot; or could it be that the instant gratification disposition has so captured culture that people of power and authority are so blinded to future consequences of conduct that such grave error underpin choice.

Let’s present evidence for anxiety. For years I reminded all that Oil was a wasting asset and revenues from it should be treated as windfall. I frequently turned to concepts like Peak Oil (Huberts Peak), the proven reserves of Nigeria which I used to suggest will run down to non-economic levels by 2040, to make the point that we should save Oil income and leverage the savings to create an economy that produces for export and local consumption, based on Factor endowments in which it dominates their global value chains, The diversified economy would better sustain progress. Today I do not need to turn to such concepts anymore. We have reached the end of the Oil Age. In twelve years Oil’s value would be so depreciated that if we have not changed our current ways we do not have a chance of escaping the Coming Anarchy which Robert Kaplan foresaw.

When years ago I went to work in Import substitution manufacturing and suggested shutting it down in favour of producing some components of motor vehicles from an area in which we had what is today known as latent comparative advantage, and dominating global value chains of the components, like the chain from rubber, to the most specialized derivative components. I was mocked and called unpatriotic. But I insisted that would create more jobs and income than we were getting from crude Oil exports.

It took a Professor of Economics from Oxford who interviewed me, 25 years earlier when I was promoting those ideas, to note the far sightedness in my thinking then. This after he studied China and found those ideas played out there.

But I hate being the prophet who was proved right by history when the result makes my country a laughing stock.

The truth is if I ever wanted to be wrong it would have to be regarding Nigeria as the next Haiti. So how can we escape that?

If Nigeria is to move quickly, as it has the potential to do, from failed state or failing state to a future that reflects the dreams of its founding fathers it must as a matter of urgency dismantle the legacy of state capture by the class of 1966. It is largely the culture of the club of capture that has moved the country from great potential to the arena of mediocrity. Anyone in doubt about the phenomenon of capture only need read the memoirs of two former Chiefs of Army staff, Chris Alli and Ishaya Bamayi.

Sadly we continue to live in denial about the coming of the end of the Age of Oil, as the National Assembly vote on Restructuring in the Constitutional review process shows so evidently. The Bureaucratic Prebendalism of National cake sharing Richard Joseph pointed to so clearly to three decades ago remains the political elite mindset in Nigeria.

Nothing, in the points made repeatedly about how poor leadership made Nigeria miss the window to leapfrog its way into a desirable future and lamentations about how windows of opportunity were about to close on us because our political class was distracted or obsessed with self as the world was rushing forward into a bold new future, has resulted in a revisit of my Rasheed Gbadamosi stories. Chief Gbadamosi who we lost recently was a great beacon who I inflicted my many worries about Nigeria on for a quarter century.

In the early 1990s I kept pointing at how Indonesia was pulling away from being Nigeria’s development twin. My friend Peter Lewis of Johns Hopkins would years later compare how Nigeria was trending South and Indonesia heading North in a book titled Growing Apart.

I had said often in a small group concerned with the economy, which included Chief Rasheed Gbadamosi that Nigeria ought to recognize it was more a Gas producing country and stop fooling around with the LNG project. It took Abacha’s commitment of nearly two billion dollars in a low Oil Price regime to begin to halt our decline there. But in 1998 Gbadamosi became a member of the Federal Executive Council and leader of our OPEC delegation. With Crude Oil prices below USD10 a barrel and desperation for better quote allocation, Gbadamosi went to a tense OPEC meeting in 1998.

He was shocked to see the Indonesian Oil minister literally uninterested in the fight for quota. When at break time he went to his Indonesian counterpart to resolve the puzzle, the Indonesian smiled and said it’s you Nigerians who are not serious, much of our revenues come from Gas and that has no quota. As Chief Gbadamosi told me the very night he returned from the meeting, the exclamation that he let out as the Indonesian made his point, was- Paaat!! I did not pound my chest and feel good that I had been vindicated yet again. But my pain increased when President Goodluck Jonathan allowed Brass LNG to literally fail, because he was distracted, and could therefore not do what Abacha did and gave us NLNG which would become the most profitable company in Africa.

These continuous policy errors, because of poor leadership, resulted in the 2003 IMF working paper by Columbia University Economists Xavier Sala-i-Martin, and Arvind Subramanian, in which they argued that if you collected oil receipts and sent out cheques to all Nigerians the country would be much better off than with the kind of governments Nigeria had receiving such monies.

The truth is that the pressures driving our sad national decline result from perception of the authoritative allocation of values, politics, in conditions of state capture in which an opportunistic club of capture which has functioned with scant regard for the nation building needs of Nigeria beyond lip service, has left a culture of mediocrity and discontent writ large. It is this discontent that is manifesting in irredentist pressures and the new self-determination flooding our mass media.

My alternative offering on how to go, sadly, is what I offered 30 years ago, which today, thanks to Justin Yefu Lin the Chinese Economist who served for a while as Chief Economist at the World Bank, has gained ascendancy in structural Economics as the new Latent comparative Advantage. Unless we can turn quickly to this view of the macro level structure- conduct- performance paradigm in structural economics, with industrial policy focused on our factor endowments, or some superior strategy, Nigeria is in the grave danger of becoming the next Haiti. A country that change left behind because it failed to adapt.

VERY INTERESTING INFORMATION

A short time ago, Iran's Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khomenei urged the Muslim World to boycott anything and everything that originates with the Jewish people.
One response , Meyer M. Treinkman, a pharmacist, out of the kindness of
his heart, offered to assist them in their boycott as follows: "Any Muslim who has Syphilis must not be cured by Salvarsan discovered by a Jew, Dr. Ehrlich. He should not even try to find out whether he has Syphilis, because the Wasserman Test is the discovery of a Jew. If a Muslim suspects that he has Gonorrhea, he must not seek diagnosis, because he will be using the method of a Jew named Neissner.
"A Muslim who has heart disease must not use Digitalis, a discovery by a Jew, Ludwig Traube.
Should he suffer with a toothache, he must not use Novocaine, a discovery of the Jews, Widal and Weil.
If a Muslim has Diabetes, he must not use Insulin, the result of research by Minkowsky, a Jew. If one has a headache, he must shun Pyramidon and Antypyrin, due to the Jews, Spiro and Ellege. Muslims with convulsions must put up with them because it was a Jew, Oscar Leibreich, who proposed the use of Chloral Hydrate.
Arabs must do likewise with their psychic ailments because Freud, father of psychoanalysis, was a Jew.
Should a Muslim child get Diphtheria, he must refrain from the “Schick" reaction which was invented by the Jew, Bella Schick. "Muslims should be ready to die in great numbers and must not permit treatment of ear and brain damage, work of Jewish Nobel Prize winner, Robert Baram.
They should continue to die or remain crippled by Infantile Paralysis
because the discoverer of the anti-polio vaccine is a Jew, Jonas Salk.
"Muslims must refuse to use Streptomycin and continue to die of Tuberculosis because a Jew, Zalman Waxman, invented the wonder drug against this killing disease.
Muslim doctors must discard all discoveries and improvements by dermatologist Judas Sehn Benedict, or the lung specialist, Frawnkel, and of many other world renowned Jewish scientists and medical experts.
"In short, good and loyal Muslims properly and fittingly should remain afflicted with Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Heart Disease, Headaches, Typhus, Diabetes, Mental Disorders, Polio Convulsions and Tuberculosis and be proud to obey the Islamic boycott."
Oh, and by the way, don't call for a doctor on your cell phone because the cell phone was invented in Israel by a Jewish engineer.
Meanwhile I ask, what medical contributions to the world have the Muslims made?"
The Global Islamic population is approximately 1,200,000,000; that is

TOTAL: 129! The Jews are NOT promoting brainwashing children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non-Muslims. The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German restaurants. There is NOT one single Jew who has destroyed a church. There is NOT a single Jew who protests by killing people. The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems Muslims must ask 'what can they do for humankind' before they demand that humankind respects them. Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel 's part, the following two sentences really say it all: If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel." Benjamin Netanyahu: General Eisenhower warned us. It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead. He did this because he said in words to this effect: 'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewheredown the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened' Recently, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred.It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.It is now more than 65 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people. Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.
How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center .NEVER HAPPENED' because it offends some Muslim in the United.. States?
