Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has described the men who carried out the attack at Nyanya Motor Park on Monday  as pigs, whose corpses ought to be fed to pigs once they die. 

"I completely condemned the bomb attack on a motor park in Nyanya. This is very inhuman, ungodly and barbaric. I don’t even have the adjectives to describe what these mad people have done. As far as I am concerned, the perpetrators are not human beings and in my own opinion, when they finally die their corpses should be given to pigs because they are on the same level with pigs. How do you do this kind of thing to human beings? So definitely, they cannot be humans. It is so unfortunate. To make it worse, there are people who are sponsoring them. As the judgment of God comes upon them, the judgment will also come on those who are sponsoring them. Anybody who has given N1 to these people, whether they are local people or foreign financiers, the same judgment will come upon them and their children.” They will not escape it. So those are my words.” - Oritsejafor said in a statement released on Monday

Washington Drives The World To War — Paul Craig Roberts ( A National Embarrassment)

Washington Drives The World To War

Paul Craig Roberts
The CIA director was sent to Kiev to launch a military suppression of the Russian separatists in the eastern and southern portions of Ukraine, former Russian territories for the most part that were foolishly attached to the Ukraine in the early years of Soviet rule.


Washington’s plan to grab Ukraine overlooked that the Russian and Russian-speaking parts of Ukraine were not likely to go along with their insertion into the EU and NATO while submitting to the persecution of Russian speaking peoples.  Washington has lost Crimea, from which Washington intended to eject Russia from its Black Sea naval base. Instead of admitting that its plan for grabbing Ukraine has gone amiss, Washington is unable to admit a mistake and, therefore, is pushing the crisis to more dangerous levels.
If Ukraine dissolves into secession with the former Russian territories reverting to Russia, Washington will be embarrassed that the result of its coup in Kiev was to restore the Russian provinces of Ukraine to Russia.  To avoid this embarrassment, Washington is pushing the crisis toward war.

Can Amaechi right the wrong of abandoned property?

Click banner for more info

One thing that is striking about Governor Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers State is that he is a fighter. He is also never afraid to bare his mind on any issue.

As a fighter, when President Olusegun Obasanjo denied him his Peoples Democratic Party governorship ticket with the lame excuse that his candidacy had a “k-leg”, Amaechi did not fold his arms and leave everything to destiny. He went to court and fought the matter until the court declared him the authentic candidate of the PDP and therefore the winner of the 2007 election. When the wife of President Goodluck Jonathan tried to use presidential powers on him, Amaechi refused to be intimidated, even with the President joining in the fray.
