Donetsk People's Republic has evidence that Kiev uses foreign mercenaries
"We hear the English language on the air (radio communications interception), we have seen lists (of people), who were captured in the airport. Judging by the names, the people put down for allowances are obviously of foreign origin. They are Anglo-Saxon. It is not clear - American or Britons. They have snipers; and good ones. Their manners, their weapons make it easy to define them as foreigners…They are clearly not Ukrainian military," said Borodai.

1 Patriotic Nigerian leader that could have hastened Mandela's release from prison
One Nigerian leader that could have hastened Mandela's release from prison or an outright military confrontation with the Apartheid regime in South Africa was Murtala Mohammed.Said “When I contemplate the evils of apartheid, my heart bleeds and I am sure the heart of every true blooded African bleeds...” speech at the OAU heads of state extraordinary meeting in Addis Ababa on January 9,1976 shocked the world.He was killed 32 days after this speech.
I assume Obasanjo acted on Murtala's wish and convened the largest World Conference for Action against Apartheid on August 1977 in Lagos that brought men like Olof Palme,the Swedish prime minister.ANC leader at the time Oliver Tambo wept in Lagos over the death of Mohammed.
There was a time all of Africa looked up to their big brother...

Abducted Girls 7 US Troops: AFRICOM In Disguise - Story About abducted girls cooked up to Justify U.S Troops in Nigeria
Story About abducted girls cooked up to Justify U.S Troops in Nigeria
I am compelled to write this urgently in order to bring your attention to the event surrounding the missing 234 Chibok girls that were allegedly abducted by Boko Haram. Undoubtedly, there are many questions that beg for answers in this abduction. After carrying out some analysis, I came to the conclusion (just like some other people too) that there is a very high probability that the whole story about the abduction was cooked up or well planned in advance by some certail forces in order to descredit Jonathan’s government and justify foreign intervention. It can also not be ruled out that jonathan himself has a hand in the so called kidnapping in order to provide a good excuse for foreign intervention.
