How France loots Africa, liquidates ‘dissidents’ to maintain hegemony

For decades, his country has sucked the natural wealth out of Africa like a giant parasite, causing poverty, disease and underdevelopment, which in turn have fueled despair, conflict and violence. And the parasitic arrangement continues to this very day.

For decades, France has contributed directly to the violence and instability that has wracked so much of Africa. Coups, counter-coups, assassinations, destabilization and abductions - perhaps no other country among the colonial powers has afflicted the Earth’s largest continent with so much grief and ruination.
Following the Second World War, France ushered in a new era of modern slavery for the African countries that it had acquired as possessions during the earlier colonial Scramble for Africa at the end of the 19th Century.

Key strategies Muslims are deploying to Islamise Africa: Charity Uzochina, daughter of a Christian pastor who recently converted to Islam.

Islamic movements are using various strategies in accomplishing the goal of Islamizing the world. Archbishop Giuseppe Bernardini reported that during a synod that the Vatican held on October 1999 to discuss the rapports between Christians and Muslims, an eminent Islam scholar addressed the stunned audience declaring with placid effrontery: "By means of your democracy we shall invade you, by means of our religion we shall dominate you".

Some of the core Islamic strategies are briefly discusses below:

There were also reports that dissatisfied members of the movement had ousted the leader of the group, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike after overpowering his loyalists in a fierce battle.

Why current events in Iraq should be of grave concern to Biafrans

Current atrocious acts of the terrorist Islamic State (ISIS) should be a source of great concern to Biafrans. The media and blogosphere have been awash with gruesome images of beheading, mass executions and the spilling of bloods of innocent civilians, whose only offence was their refusal to convert to Islam. Yesterday, the world was chilled with a video showing the gruesome murder of a United States journalist, James Foley by ISIS. Last week over 300 Yazidi people were slaughtered by ISIS after their refusalto convert to Islam.

Chilling details of the beheading of US Journalist James Wright Foley

A shocking video has emerged showing an ISIS militant who speaks with a British accent brutally executing an American photojournalist who was kidnapped in Syria two years ago.

Graphic footage of the execution appeared in an video titled: 'A Message to the U.S.', in which an apparently coerced James Wright Foley, 40, describes America as his true killers for using airstrikes to assist Kurdish forces in recapturing the Mosul Dam from ISIS militants.

ISIS 'beheads' US Journalist in retaliation of US intervention in Iraqi crisis

Islamist militants claim to have beheaded a man identified as James Foley, an American journalist kidnapped in Syria in late 2012, in a graphic video posted on the internet.

A spokeswoman for the White House said the intelligence community was trying to determine the video’s authenticity. “If genuine, we are appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent American journalist,” she said.

Boko Haram sends thousands of poisoned fruits to the South

Boko Haram has sent over 54,000 poisoned fruits and vegetables including carrot,apple,water melon and others to the southern part of Nigeria. This is an information currently circulating via BB and Whatsapp, which claimed an informant in the north privy to the plot revealed this. The Biafran is currently following the lead to ascertain the veracity of the information, but a little caution is strongly advised at this time.

"Use of force against ISIS legitimate" - Pope Francis: Use of force to defend Biafra also LEGIMATE

"It is legitimate to stop the unjust aggressor." - Pope Francis

Pope Francis has endorsed the use of force by United States and allies to stop ISIS terrorists from massacring Christian minorities in Iraq. The Pope stated that it is "legitimate to stop the unjust aggressor."

The leader of the Catholic Church however stressed that it should be a joint effort by the international community to stop the radicals who have swept through north and western Iraq, targeting Christians, Shia Muslims and minority sects like the Yazidis.

Desperation sets in as North struggles to regain feudal domination of Nigeria

By Femi Aribisala

The only way the APC can redeem its perception as a janjaweed party is by putting forward a South-South man as its presidential candidate in 2015.

The Northern Elders Forum, the apostles of “the North is born to rule,” finally played their joker. They maintained that if the government does not #Bring Back Our Girls by the end of October, 2014, Jonathan should forget about running for re-election.

This again reveals that there is more political mischief to the kidnapping of the Chibok schoolgirls than initially meets the eye. As a matter of fact, it shows conclusively that #Bring Back Our Girls is simply another instrument of #Bring Back Our Northern Domination.

Saudi prince robbed of 250,000 euros and sensitive diplomatic documents in Paris armed robbery

Nigeria should use Ebola survivors' blood [convalescent serum] to treat others

Nigeria should Ebola survivor blood [convalescent serum] should be used to treat others

As Nigeria records five survivors of the of Ebola Viral Disease, the blood from the survivors should be used to treat others suffering from the disease.

Two doctors, a nurse and a patient, infected with Ebola Virus Disease were today discharged from the quarantine unit of the Emergency Operation Centre (EOC), at the Mainland Hospital, Yaba, Lagos. The five Nigerians who recovered from the deadly virus have been discharged from quarantine.

The use of blood of survivors of a disease to vaccinate or treat others is not an uncommon practice in medicine and public health. It works from the logic that the survivors were able to generate antibodies that were stronger and able to withstand the assault of the pathogen.

Aliens among men: Canadian former defence minister confirms

A former Canadian defense minister, Paul Hellyer has confirmed that aliens are walking among men. Hellyer made this declaration in an interview with Russia Today, stating that not only do aliens already walk amongst humans but they are refusing to share their advanced technologies until humans change their bellicose nature.

According to Paul Hellyer, who was a Liberal defense minister from 1963 to 1967 under prime minister Lester B. Pearson, there are 80 different species of extra-terrestrials.

Nuhu Ribadu is unprincipled and has no shame!

Couple of days ago the erstwhile chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) boss, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, dumped the All Progressives Congress [APC] and joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Ribadu’s exit from APC was surprising to many who had viwed him as a man with principles and untainted character. Moreover, Ribadu was the presidential candidate of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), which is the mothership of APC, in 2011.

Ribadu’s shameful defection to the Peoples Democratic Party epitomizes the unprincipled character of Nigerian politicians, whose actions are whimsically guided by greed and selfish interests.

Unending French interference in the country
Black African greed and corruption

As violence continues to rage in Central Africa Republic (CAR) The Biafran decides to shed some lights in the unending crisis that has engulfed and impoverished what would have been one of Africa’s richest countries.

Ever since her independence from France in 1960, Central African Republic, formerly known as the Ubangi- Shari (Oubangui-Chari) under French colonial administration, has been a theatre of violence. With a relatively small population of about 4.3 million and huge mineral and natural resources such as diamond, uranium crude oil, gold, arable land and timber, the country and its inhabitants would have been among the richest in the continent. Unfortunately,

Biafrans take note! ISIS terrorists 'kill 300 MORE Yazidi men and kidnap their families after they refuse to convert to Islam[/caption]

Biafrans should take note of what is happening in Iraq and Syria. Perhaps Boko Haram may replicate such atrocious acts in Biafra, if efforts are not made now to safe guard Biafra.

The Islamic State terrorists today 'massacred' more than 300 Yazidi men - just one day after allegedly killing 82 others who refused to convert to Islam.

The insurgents stormed into the small village of Kocho in northern Iraq, where they spent five days trying to persuade villagers to take up their religion, local officials said.

Between Scotland and Biafra: Biafra has more valid and stronger case for secession than Scotland

It is no longer news that the people of Scotland wishes to leave the United Kingdom. As the date for the referendum on Scottish independence draws closer, political gimmicks are rife in the land as many Scottish citizens agitates to regain their freedom from the English controlled Britain. In the same vein Biafrans are agitating for their freedom from the stranglehold of the Islamic northern oligarchy and restoration of their country.

Boko Haram Infiltration: Cameroon denies Nigeria crucial intelligence

In an apparent bid to prevent the continuous leakage of intelligence and crucial security information to Boko Haram that has been the bane of Nigeria Army’s fight against the Islamic terrorist group, Cameroonian government had issued a directive to all its military commanders in charge of border areas with Nigeria to keep all critical information about Boko Haram away from Nigeria.

In the directive which was obtained by Punch, Cameroon’s Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralisation, Mr. Rene Emmanuel Sadi, reportedly told the commanders to withhold crucial information about the insurgents from Nigeria.

ISIS map of Islamic expansion

“Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured [by the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them [the non-Muslims], put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]. Does this mean sitting back until [non-Muslims] overcome us? Islam says: Kill in the service of Allah those who may want to kill you! Does this mean that we should surrender to the enemy? Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for Holy Warriors!” - The Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran responding to apologists for Islam. (Taheri, Amir, Holy Terror, London 1987, pp. 226-7)

Russia’s retaliatory sanction bites EU hard: Poland asks US to buy Russian barred apples. Greece asks EU to cancel sanction on Russia

Russia’s retaliatory sanction on EU countries is causing ripples and discord among EU countries. There is growing dissent in the EU over policies that led to a de fact trade war with Russia. Meanwhile the countries not toeing the line are reaping the benefits, irritating those who jumped on the sanctions bandwagon.
Meanwhile, to fill the gap left by the banning of EU fruits in Russia, China will start selling fruit and vegetables directly to Russia, and Baorong company plans to set up a special logistics center in Dongning on the border with Russia’s Far East to do it.

Khmer Rouge Guilty Verdict: Time for Gowon, Obasanjo, Danjuma and others to face prosecution for genocide and war crimes

Two elderly former Khmer Rouge leaders convicted last week of crimes against humanity

Last week two leaders of the infamous Khmer Rouge regime were jailed having been found guilty of crimes against humanity. A UN-backed war crimes tribunal found the Khmer Rouge’s Brother No 2 Nuon Chea and former head of state Khieu Samphan guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced to life imprisonment, in a move heralded by human rights groups as a “historic victory” for the nation.

The verdict came nearly 40 years after the regime led by Pol Pot ended its murderous four-year reign over Cambodia, during which time nearly 2 million people – a quarter of the population –died from

That story of Yugoslavia - the future of Nigeria

As Nigeria tethers on the brink of collapse, the story of Yugoslavia, a country in Southeast Europe generally known as the Balkans, and its breakup jumps into focus to discerning minds. The Yugoslav breakup and subsequent wars have been deemed one of the worst in modern day Europe. Perhaps Nigerians should learn one or two lessons from the Yugoslavia story and save themselves from impending doom. There were so many opportunities that would have averted the Yugoslavian wars but the country missed all the opportunities. Nigeria is about to lose her last opportunity for the resolution of the country’s myriads of problems.

Al-Shabab and Boko Haram plan Kenyan Westgate-style attack in Abuja – Security sources

There are strong indications that members of the Somalia militant sect, Al-Shabab, aided Boko Haram militants in carrying out the attack on Nyanya Motor Park seven days ago.

The PUNCH’s investigations on Sunday also revealed that Al-Shabab, which has strong links with Al-Qaeda, had moved from providing technical assistance to Boko Haram to fighting alongside insurgents in some parts of the North-East.

It was gathered that security agencies received intelligence reports that Al-Shabab, which carried out the West Gate Mall attack in Kenya, was planning an attack in Abuja.

A top military source, who confided in one of our correspondents, said the information was received two weeks before the March 31, 2014 attempted jailbreak at the Yellow House headquarters of the Department of State Security Service in Abuja.

Nyako is incapable of rising above “parochial sentiments and possesses morbid hatred for facts and truth in public discourse – Presidency blast Nyako

The Presidency has blasted the Adamawa State governor, Murtala Nyako over his recent memo to northern governors, which was aimed at inciting the north against the government of Goodluck Jonathan, describing him as incapable of rising above “parochial sentiments and possessing a morbid hatred for facts and truth in public discourse. Reacting sharply to Nyako's memo on Saturday, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, described Nyako's memo as “an unmitigated leadership disaster and a sad betrayal of trust by a major beneficiary of the Nigerian nation.”

Murtala Nyako memo of lies and frustration: A call for the overthrow of Jonathan

The memo of Adamawa State governor, Murtala Nyako’s to the Northern Governors Forum by captioned “On On-Going Full-Fledged Genocide in ‘Northern Nigeria’, circulated on April 16, 2014 has been found to be packed with lies and twisted history, meant to cause disaffection and anarchy, that will lead to the overthrow of President Goodluck Jonathan’s government. In the memo Nyako exonerated Boko Haram (which he referred to as Phantom Boko Haram) for the various atrocities, which Boko Haram has claimed responsibilities for, and heaping virtually all of them on Goodluck Jonathan’s administration. Nyako stated that, “Cases of mass murders by its bloody minded killers and cut-throats are well known, but it attributes the killings to so-called Boko-Haram. Thousands of our young girls and boys have been kidnapped by clearly organised militia in the last few years and kidnapping is now a random affair all over the far North. These organized kidnappers must have the backing of the Federal administration for them to move about freely with abducted children just as those who convey ammunitions and explosives from the Ports to the safe-houses of so called Boko-Haram in the North.

Republic of Biafra Anthem

Land of rising sun, we love and cherish,
Beloved homeland of our brave heroes;
We must defend our lives or we shall perish,
We shall protect our hearts from all our foes;
But if the price is death for all we hold dear,
Then let us die without a shred of fear.

Hail to Biafra, consecrated nation,
O fatherland, this be our solemn pledge:
Defending thee shall be a dedication,
Spilling our blood we’ll count a privilege;
The waving standard which emboldens the free
Shall always be our flag of liberty.

We shall emerge triumphant from this ordeal,
And through the crucible unscathed we’ll pass;
When we are poised the wounds of battle to heal,
We shall remember those who died in mass;
Then shall our trumpets peal the glorious song
Of victory we scored o’er might and wrong.

Oh God, protect us from the hidden pitfall,
Guide all our movements lest we go astray;
Give us the strength to heed the humanist call:
To give and not to count the cost’ each day;
Bless those who rule to serve with resoluteness,
To make this clime a land of righteousness.
