Nigeria has already divided ~ UN report says (READ)
Aba City Blog Monday, September 05, 2016 Labels: National News, South East Region
The United Nations (UN), has released a special report on Nigeria's Common Country Analysis (CCA), which the report described the country as already divided.
The report, which was read during a consultative meeting on the formulation of the UN Development Assistance Framework IV (UNDAF IV) for the South-East geo-political zone in Awka, showed Nigeria as a “divided society on the basis of the plurality of ethnic, religious and regional identities that had tended to define the country’s political existence.”
According to the report, “Nigeria is one of the poorest and most unequal countries in the world, with over 80 million or 64 per cent of her population living below poverty line. Poverty and hunger have remained high in rural areas, remote communities and among female-headed households and these cut across the six geo-political zones, with prevalence ranging from approximately 46.9 per cent in the South-West to 74.3 per cent in North-West and North-East.
“Nigeria’s economy is currently in a recession and it is estimated that government revenues have fallen by as much as 33 per cent, which has further resulted in the contraction of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 0.36 per cent in the first three months of 2016.

“The vulnerable macroeconomic environment in Nigeria is affecting investors’ confidence in the domestic economy.”
The report said that despite Nigeria’s enormous resources, 37 per cent of children under five years old were stunted and 29 per cent underweight due to malnutrition just as only 10 per cent of children aged six to 23 months were fed appropriately based on recommended infant and young children feeding practices.
The report also revealed widespread cases of violence against women and girls, including physical and sexual assault, adding that 42 per cent of the youths were unemployed, “a situation that had led to poverty, helplessness and despair, thereby exposing them to easy target for crime and terrorism,” while over 10 million children of school age were out of schools with no knowledge and skills.
It also said, “despite the fact that Nigeria is a signatory to a number of protocols on sustainable and renewable environment, the country had, over the decades, failed to protect the environment, ecosystem and natural resources.
“Nigeria faces humanitarian and emergency crises of considerable proportions fueled by a combination of factors including climate change, inter-communal conflicts and violence, insurgency, recurring floods, heavy handed tactics of security forces in combating crime and insurgency. The overall consequence is the situation of systematic and chronic internal displacement that has given rise to different humanitarian crises that include the most egregious and dehumanising human rights abuses.”
It, therefore, recommended that “transforming and diversifying Nigeria’s development paths needed a radical and new approach, especially by investing in people and in a strong more dynamic and inclusive productive informal sector,” just as the agency called for a design and support of joint programmes to address good governance, peace and security.

How APC turned our graduates to conductors – Reno On November 6, 20163:15 pmIn News, ViewpointComments On March 19, 2014, the then opposition All Progressive Congress, APC, criticized the unemployment situation under then President Jonathan and accused him of not doing anything concrete to help Nigerian youths get employed. The APC in a statement said the Jonathan administration ‘has no social security or any form of safety net for the vulnerable army of the unemployed.’ ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads Lagos Conductor Lagos Conductor This was despite the fact that that administration had set up the Youth With Innovation in Nigeria (YouWIN) scheme to assist Nigerian youths who had good business ideas with training and funding so they could start a business instead of depending on either government or the private sector for a job. Around Nigeria, approximately 4,000 Nigerian youths got business training from the Lagos Business School and received grants of between 2 million and 10 million Naira (at that time worth between $12,000 to $50,00 to start their own businesses. This is aside the 41,000 graduates who benefited from the Graduate Internship Scheme of that administration which placed Nigerian graduates with employers who could not afford to pay them so the youths could get experience while the government paid them. The Jonathan administration also set up two ICT Incubation Centers, one in Lagos and the other in Calabar to enhance and grow the ideas and innovations of Nigerian youths into viable globally recognized businesses. It is worthy of note that when Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg visited Nigeria, the first place he chose to visit was the Co-Creation Hub (CCHU a brainchild of the Jonathan administration. So, having criticized a government that did so much to spur youth innovation and employment, one would have thought that the APC would do better than the previous Peoples Democratic Party government of President Goodluck Jonathan. So, you can then imagine my shock when it was revealed that the APC government planned to recruit Nigerian university graduates as bus conductors! Really? Bus conductors? And these are the people that tore the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan to shreds with criticism? How sad! I have one question for the APC. If graduates are to be conductors, then who will drive the buses? PhD and Masters holders? But it is really ridiculous! President Goodluck Jonathan gave graduates between ₦2m to ₦12 million each to start businesses and the APC ridiculed him and called him clueless. Today, the clue-full APC is giving graduates ₦50k to be conductors. Jonathan saw youths as businessmen which is why he empowered them to start businesses, but today the APC see youths as conductors. All I can say is welcome to the new Nigeria! But on second thoughts, it all makes perfect sense when you think about it. I now understand why the APC is turning our graduates to conductors. APC promised change and suddenly realized that it is conductors who collect change! So while the children of APC big wigs get plum jobs and juicy contracts, your children are ‘blessed’ with the opportunity to collect change! As far as they are concerned, the APC has fulfilled their campaign promises! Someone told me that the APC has not created jobs and has even lost the jobs created by the Jonathan government and cited the report by the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics which revealed that 4.58 million Nigerians have lost their jobs under President Buhari. However, I disagreed with that person and said the APC has created jobs. When the person asked me what jobs my response was as follows – Examples of jobs APC has created for graduates: (a) Bus Conductors (b) Masquerade Dressers (c) Speech Plagiarizers and (d) which is specially for women; It is called Special Assistant on ‘Other Room’ and Kitchen Duties! It is so sad that in less than two years we have gone from Graduate Internship Scheme to Graduate Bus Conductor Scheme. Alas, alas!

BIAFRA: Don’t mess With Us Again -IPOB Places Curse On Mark Zuckerberg, Buhari. (Read Full Press Statement)
7th November 2016 News
The Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPO has sent a message to Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook not to mess with its page
on the site again or face the wrath of God. The page of the group was pulled down and the group blamed this on the recent meeting between Zuckerberg and President Muhammadu Buhari when the former visited Nigeria.
img_20161107_152900
In a statement signed by Emma Nmezu and Dr Clifford Chukwuemeka Iroanya, IPOB warned that any attempt stop Biafra will bring calamity upon Nigeria and its supporters. Read the statement below:
“On Friday, October 29, 2016, Mark Elliot Zuckerberg, the 32-year old Jewish Chief Executive Officer, CEO, of the social media platform Facebook, FB, pulled down the FB group page belonging to Radio Biafra London, RBL. It is common knowledge that RBL is the media arm of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
“In essence, Mark Zuckerberg intentionally and indirectly stifled IPOB from using FB to educate, inform, and disseminate the gospel of the restoration of the nation of Biafra to both Biafrans and non-Biafrans alike.
“What is more worrisome is that this clampdown on RBL by Mr Zuckerberg came a few weeks after he visited Buhari in Abuja, Nigeria. Mark Zuckerberg and President Muhammadu Buhari It is on record that on the same day Mark Zuckerberg held a secret meeting with Buhari in Abuja, his $95 million satellite exploded while on a launch pad in Cape Canaveral, Brevard County in Florida.
” As a stop-gap measure to the taking down of RBL, FB page, the leadership of IPOB opened another group page for RBL and invited Biafrans and friends of Biafra to populate the page by adding their FB friends to the new group page.
“Surprisingly, the FB management started blocking those who attempted to add their friends to the group page. We posit that the blocking of people who were populating the FB group page did not happen without the knowledge and approval of Mr Zuckerberg.
“We at IPOB are still in shock as we wonder why Zuckerberg with a Jewish ancestry will work with an Anti-Semitic person like Muhammad Buhari to block RBL, which is the media arm of IPOB that belongs to Biafrans and these Biafrans have the same ancestry as Zuckerberg.
“Did money exchange hands from Buhari’s Government to Mark Zuckerberg? If so, does Mr Zuckerberg live with the philosophy that “money is thicker than blood?”
Is Mr Zuckerberg aware that Buhari hates the Jews and Biafrans more than any other thing in his life and that Buhari has visited all the neighbours of the State of Israel but vowed never to step his feet in Israel?
“Does Mr Zuckerberg know that Buhari is the number one global campaigner for the division of Jerusalem, the Biblical and ancient capital of Israel? Is Zuckerberg aware that Buhari covertly blocked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from conducting state visits in the West African region just as he did in the other regions of Africa?
” If there were any doubts before, the personal experience of Mark Zuckerberg in the past few days that he shut down RBL on Facebook has indicated to him the force behind the new Biafra movement led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu; something Buhari is confronting every day but too proud to acknowledge publicly.
“Zuckerberg and his facebook felt the might and divinity of IPOB in the past days when they lost over five percent of the value of his Facebook company worth $3 billion, simply because he messed up over IPOB. Having been visited by this second divine retribution, he quickly backtracked and restored RBL FB group page on Friday, November 4, 2016.
“Contrast this conscientious and repentant attitude of Zuckerberg towards IPOB with that of Buhari who miscalculated and kidnapped the symbol and arrowhead of the new agitation for Biafra, the IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Despite the calamitous destruction of the Nigerian economy, disease, pestilence, restiveness, hunger and pain, Buhari like the Biblical Pharaoh has refused to restore the freedom of the IPOB leader quite unlike Mark Zuckerberg that saw the demise of his empire and quickly did the needful.
” It will be in the interest of Buhari to learn from Zuckerberg’s experience since they are friends. He tampered with RBL Facebook group page and felt the wrath of God instantly.
“RBL on Facebook is the central new media platform for IPOB and all lovers of freedom including journalists, which makes it naturally the largest and most popular forum on Facebook. Considering the total mess Nigeria is in and the need to avert the complete collapse of the country into an unimaginable state of anarchy, it is our expectation that Justice Binta Nyako will be moved to salvage what is left of wreckage Nigeria has become. Failure by Nyako to dismiss outright the politically motivated and frivolous charges against the IPOB leader Mazi Kanu will invite more deadly calamity upon Nigeria.
“Moving forward, we warn Mr Zuckerberg to steer clear of Muhammadu Buhari and to avoid anything that will drag him into fighting against the restoration of Biafra. Anyone who fights against Biafra is directly fighting against the Almighty God, Chukwu Okike Abiama, hence repercussions must follow such a person or nation.
“On the other hand, we feel very sorry for Buhari because he has sunk billions of dollars into stopping Radio Biafra and the Biafran restoration process without any success. This is beside the thousands of Biafran lives he has killed in cold blood from August 30, 2015 till date. Buhari has blood-letting in his DNA because this was why he started his military career with the assassination plot of Major-General J. T. U. Aguiyi-Ironsi on July 29, 1966 as well as the massacre of over two million Biafrans at Owerri in 1968. The futility of Zuckerberg’s clampdown on RBL FB page and the failure of Muhammadu Buhari in silencing IPOB is a big lesson to those who are opposed to the restoration of the nation of Biafra.
“The restoration of the nation of Biafra is a divine project whose time has come and the likes of Mark Elliot Zuckerberg and Muhammadu Buhari cannot alter the plans of the God of Biafrans because He is indeed El-Sali, El- Haggadol, and El-Gibbor. Biafra’s restoration is a mandate from Sovereign LORD of all Creation.”
WikiLeaks’ Clinton Emails Show Rothschild, Rockefeller Partnership
hilary-close-with-rothschilds-rockefelers
By: Claire Bernish Via thefreethoughtproject.com
Hillary Clinton has been deemed a sure bet for the White House, as it’s widely speculated the inflammatory Donald Trump and socialist-leaning Bernie Sanders stray too far from establishment politics to be truly electable. But it wasn’t until an examination using Wikileaks searchable archive of Clinton’s emails that the establishment’s love of the Democratic warhawk became truly apparent.
Buried in thousands of the former Secretary of State’s emails sent via her personal server, are intimations of her close relationship with the infamous Rothschild banking family and hints for a potential Rockefeller-State partnership.
Lynn Forester de Rothschild wrote an email on April 18, 2010, in which she tells Hillary she would “love to catch up” — and “I remain your loyal adoring pal.” Clinton responds “let’s make that happen,” and signs her response, “Much love, H.”
On September 23, 2010, Clinton emailed Lynn Forester de Rothschild (an email chain marked by heavy redaction) saying, “I was trying to reach you to tell you and Teddy that I asked Tony Blair to go to Israel as part of our full court press on keeping the Middle East negotiations going …”
Rothschild responds, thanking Clinton for “personally reaching out to us,” and adds, “You are the best, and we remain your biggest fans.”
A January 9, 2012, email discusses a conference on the environment set to take place at Jacob Rothschild’s “historic estate, Waddesdon.”
On New Year’s Eve 2012, Lynn Forester de Rothschild sent an email to Clinton “praying for” her speedy recovery. “And, my email box is lighting up with all the PUMA’s and their 18M prayers for Hillary campaign,” states the email, which is signed, “Love, Lynn, Evelyn, Ben and Jake.”
An email to Clinton, dated October 15, 2009, from Melanne Verveer — former director of Pres. Obama’s State Department office for Global Women’s Issues and longtime Clinton family insider — states:
“Speaking at UNESCO Monday with the new director on the unfinished Beijing agenda [REDACTED] called to say she wants to give us several million dollars to subsidize a fund to give an annual award for innovation in empowering women that would be a rockefeller-State [sic] partnership.”
Then, on March 10, 2012, Verveer hints at least at a possible locale for Hillary’s future endeavors:
“I forgot to tell you that Judith Rodin offered you a suite of offices after you leave State for your own use at Rockefeller Fdtn, if you’re interested –with no strings attached. She also said they’d be happy to provide you with a month at their center in Bellagio if you just want to read and write in a beautiful place.”
Though none of the emails The Free Thought Project examined appeared overtly damning — thanks, in part, to sometimes heavy redaction — the evidence of Clinton’s comfort with the establishment lends credence to theories of her being the ‘chosen’ candidate.
Numerous emails evidence Hillary’s staff carefully monitoring — and even manipulating — mainstream news outlets as well. Lynn F. de Rothschild told Hillary in August 2009 about a fluff piece journalist Les Gelb was eager to pen for Parade Magazine. Other emails show an almost paranoid eye Clinton kept trained on the Tea Party and its journalists and mouthpieces.
To reiterate, nothing particularly damning in itself was found in this admittedly cursory search — but the relationships these emails document, alone, evidence Hillary’s concrete establishment roots. While Trump infuriates the GOP and Sanders’ popular support lacks translation into delegate votes, perhaps these documents support the popular theory Hillary Clinton will be the next president — no matter what.
