ONCE BITTEN, TWICE SHY...

Budapest Memorandum, 1994. It was a promise of protection against any unprovoked aggressors.. in exchange for what? Nuclear arsenal... once bitten, twice shy...
 
Who signed the memorandum, Ukraine, Russia, France and United Kingdom. Who gave up nuclear weapon, Ukraine. Who was attacked unprovoked, Ukraine. Who broke agreement, Russia and its Western allies. Russia attacked a sovereign nation with a flimsy excuse, and the West failed to protect Ukraine other than giving them weapon needed too late, they offered nothing...now the West wants to take Ukrainian minerals on top of all their losses. When I say some have lost any form of humanity.... this is an example. 
 
African countries need to learn a lesson or two here... nobody, I mean no nation will save you and look out for your best interest if you don't look out for yourself... not the US, not China, not Russia, not UK or any foreign nation for that matter. When they give you one million in aid, know they are taking 10 million out of you... there is no free meal anywhere... "Amori o ba ku ni oro won..."
Why should Ukraine trust anything the West or Russia has to offer again without an iron clad guarantee? I am so sorry for Zelensky... his life is at risk now that he appears to be an obstacle to his country being completely taken over and decimated by the sharks that surrounds them on all sides... no matter what, he will be known as the leader that stood up to tyranny and bullies... he will be remembered as a man of courage. A patriotic strong man of the Ukrainian people...

STATE OF THE NATION - Nigeria takes one step forward, and ten steps backward...

I just came back from Nigeria . I traversed the length and breadth of the nation a bit in my three-week stay. Something is different about the country compared to when I visited last year.... The people are more desperate... Hunger has increased astronomically.... The gap between the haves and have-nots has further widened... You feel impunity in the air... You see police collecting bribes openly like we have not seen since the Shagari era in 1983... There are more law enforcement agents on the roads now, yet the crime rate has not abated... You see VIO , Road Safety, State Law enforcers, the Police, everywhere mounting illegal roadblocks... I heard things from those close to the seat of power about those who hold the reins of power, and I weep for Nigeria - it is beyond disheartening... Projects are being abandoned because a significant portion has been given as bribes to government officials like governors and ministers, including major monarchs - they all collect money for projects...

WHO SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT HAVE NUKES IN OUR WORLD TODAY?

I quote the father of nukes himself, Albert Einstein , “ Mankind invented the atomic bomb , but no mouse would ever construct a mousetrap ”… No nation should have nukes. If some would, then any nation who want should be able to… current situation creates a power imbalance because those who have it are seen as extremely powerful, and those who don’t are extremely weak nations… Here is a list of nations with nukes – declared and undeclared: U.S., China, Russia, Pakistan, India, France, UK, Israel, and North Korea . These countries host nukes from other countries – Germany , Italy , Türkiye , Belgium , Netherlands and Belarus … Many of USSR ’s former regions like Ukraine and Kazakhstan had nukes, and were tricked to give them up, a decision they all regret today. It is known that Japan , though do not have nukes, have capabilities to develop and launch them within a short time, even from the space. Why can’t other nations have nukes? Ownership of nukes is why Iran is holding the...

U.S. SECRETLY BANNED MANY VISA CATEGORIES FOR NIGERIANS

  Secretly, the U.S. government has paused the issuance of OPT (Optional Practical Training - temporary work permit) to Nigerian students. They have also ceased awarding new student visas to Nigerians with full scholarships. They did this for several other visa categories, including F1 , asylum , and naturalization . It is not that you cannot apply; you can; they just will not process your visa. The reasoning behind this remains a mystery, other than the fact that Nigeria is a nation of concern. No Nigerian has carried out a terrorist attack on U.S. soil or anywhere outside their country... Some relate this to the non-cooperation of President Tinubu 's administration with the current U.S. government in making Nigeria a dumping ground for undocumented migrants. Ghanaians continue to enjoy access to all U.S. visas. The disheartening thing is that this ban/pause/whatever also extends to sponsorship of siblings and several other visa categories... A new executive order, a few days ago...
