European Union's verdict on the State of TERRORISM in Nigeria - 2020.

Nigeria is ranked third on the Global Terrorism Index, behind Iraq and Afghanistan - The Verdict was released on Jan 16, 2020:

1. "...whereas Nigeria ranks third out of 163 countries on the Global Terrorism Index behind Iraq and Afghanistan, making it the third in the list of countries most affected by terrorism;...."

2. "whereas although President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the killings and urged the population not to become divided along religious lines, these attacks have been carried out with total impunity, with perpetrators rarely being held to account; .."

3. Willful NEGLIGENCE on the path of security agencies - yet Buhari has not sacked his incompetent service chiefs, something is fishy, READ
"...whereas an Amnesty International report has demonstrated wilful negligence by the Nigerian Security Forces concerning the deadly attacks against farmers’ communities;"

4. Over 6,000 Christians have perished in the hands of Jihadists in Northern Nigeria since 2015 (this is during Buhari's first term - the anti-terrorism government) and many live as 2nd class citizens in their own country. READ:
"whereas according to the Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust, over 6 000 Christians have been murdered since 2015 by jihadist groups or have perished as a result of the ‘your land or your blood’ policy carried out by Fulani militants; whereas in the Sharia States Christians face constant discrimination, and are often considered second-class citizens;"

5. In the resolution, many Nigerian security agencies tasked with curbing insurgency were accused of all kinds of human rights abuses, especially women, girls, and children. READ: "whereas Human Rights Watch has reported that the Nigerian military has detained over 3 600 children, half of them girls, suspected of involvement with Islamist and non-state armed groups, often based on little or no evidence; whereas many detainees have suffered abuse, including sexual violence, and have died in detention from disease, hunger, dehydration or gunshot wounds; "

6. Over two million are displaced in the NE corridor of Nigeria. READ: "whereas the situation in Nigeria has caused an unprecedented humanitarian crisis and led to the displacement of more than 2 million people in the North-East,..."

7. The Nigerian government has not cooperated and coordinated well with outside aid agencies, driving some of them out and leaving hundreds of thousands in refugee camps without aids.

8. That some progress has been made but the securities apparatus seem overwhelmed: READ: "whereas the Multinational Joint Task Force has driven terrorist groups out of many areas under their control since its establishment in 2015, though the region still remains highly unstable; ...........whereas Nigeria’s military and police are facing a myriad of security threats and appear overstretched and unable to tackle simultaneous security crises"

This is nothing but failure of government. We know all of these facts even though hard supporters of the current administration will not consider these realities, especially those living far from the insurgency. Unfortunately, the consequences of this ineptitude reached some in the SW corridor with kidnapping. No nation will grow, attract investment or visitors when ranked worst behind Iraq and Afghanistan on Terrorism Index. This is another reason why investors left when Buhari came to power and only a few came since then.

This is Cacophony at Best...

MAGA destroyed DEI but they want to implement DEI at Harvard... They claim the school is not diverse enough. They have too many liberals, so they need to hire more conservative, whether they meet the hiring requirement or survive the rigor of delivering excellence at Harvard or not. This is what they claim DEI is all about - hiring people based on race, they claim, but they have no issue telling Harvard to hire based on political ideology.... You read the same thing about BLM and Antisemitism. They say BLM reflects poorly on the history of America... Critical race theory is false history... slaves loved being in captivity, they loved their masters and served willingly... there is no more discrimination based on the color of your skin in America - but all the metrics point in the opposite direction... Jewish Lives Matter; Black Lives Matter, and Palestinian Lives Matter... All Lives Matter. A terrorist life should not be equal to 20 innocent Palestinian life... It is okay to forget abou...

Until Ordinary Nigerians Seize the Power that Belongs to them, There Will Not Be Progress in That Country

  Until Ordinary Nigerians Seize the Power that Belongs to them, There Will Not Be Progress in That Country When I see the shameful drama unfolding in the Senate in Nigeria, I see impunity. When those who are supposedly elected into political offices are abusing the power they hold in trust for the rest of us in daylight, then you know they have no fear of the electorate... The Senate President in Nigeria, Akpabio, forced a motion that obviously failed, down the throat of his colleagues... The motion was to humiliate Senator Natasha and force her to apologize for daring to accuse Akpabio of alleged sexual harassment before she is re-admitted to the senate after serving the unlawful six-month suspension imposed on her. What saddens me the most are the fellow female senators who have either kept quiet or have reprimanded Senator Natasha for speaking out, including the wife of the president, Remi Tinubu, who faced many sexist comments and threats when she was a senator. Remi Tinubu wa...
