Nigerian Drug, Cult Gangs Take Europe, America, Asia By Storm

Image
Until August 6, 2017, not many people had heard of the town called Ozubulu. A sleepy community tucked away in the slopes of Anambra State in the Southeastern part of the country, the area, like most rural ones across Nigeria, enjoyed relative tranquility even though social amenities needed to make life worthwhile are still largely missing. But on the morning of that fateful day, everything changed. At about 6:30 am, a gang of young men wielding guns and other dangerous weapons stormed St. Philips Catholic Church in the community while an early morning mass was going on. Without blinking an eye and minding the sanctity of the environment they were in, the men opened fire on worshippers – among them the very old and little children. By the time the dust finally settled, at least 13 people had been killed while another 18 were left battling for their lives after sustaining serious injuries.

Robots used to perform funerals in Japan

Image

Buhari Looks Like A Skeleton, Obasanjo Wants To Go to Heaven And Many Nigerians Are Insane

Image
By Ij Onuigbo… Stop all the charade people. We are not blind nor stupid. It is very obvious that President Buhari is very sick. Any person with a keen eye could see that it is only a thin skin covering his bones in spite of the paddings he had under his caftan in the video released on the 12th of August. Just look at his hands and face and you will see what I am saying. God will punish the cabal who will not allow this man to resign, get well and enjoy the rest of his days in peace with his family and grandchildren. Why are you people so drunk with power that you will keep pulling and pushing a sick man just to hold on to power while Nigerian people are suffering and dying?

Biafra And Corruption: When A Judas Becomes A Muhammad

Image
The Nigerian corrupt cabal is exploiting the current Biafran agitation with increasing stridency. The venerable Merriam-Webster, mark you, defines corruption as a “dishonest or illegal behavior, especially by powerful people (such as government officials or police officers),” or, “something that has been changed from its original form from what is pure or correct.” The confluence of these definitions perfectly rhymes with the pattern where successive Nigerian governments not only breed corruption by way of looting of public treasury but also through gross injustice as well as distortion of national history.
