WE ARE REPORTERS

We are not obliged, even for a second, to try to prove to anybody and especially to blacks and Arabs that we are superior people - we have demonstrated that to the black and Arabs in 1001 ways. The America we know today was not created by wishful thinking.We  created it at the expenses of intelligence, sweat, and blood.....we do not pretend like other whites that we like the blacks - We must admit, without any fear, that we don't like them, and for so, so, many valid reasons. The fact that blacks and Arabs look like human beings does not necessarily make them sensible human beings. Hedgehogs are not porcupines and lizards are not crocodiles because they look alike. if God had wanted us to be equal to blacks and Arabs, he would have created us all of a uniform colour and intellect.  But he created us differently. Whites, blacks, yellow, the rulers and the ruled. intellectually we are superior to the blacks and Arabs.That has been proven beyond the reasonable...

A diaspora Igbo sociocultural organisation, Igbo Ekunie Initiative, on Saturday insisted that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was not a terrorist organisation. It said the purported proscription of the organisation by the Federal Government was presumptuous and uncalled for. Speaking at a press conference in Awka, the Anambra State capital, President of the organisation, Mr Tochukwu Ezeoke, asked President Muhammadu Buhari to dialogue with IPOB before 2019 general election or the Igbo would be forced to review their relationship with him and the All Progressives Congress, APC. The group said, “2019 is around the corner. It’s a time to take decision. Herdsmen cannot be killing our people and somebody will look the other way, but proscribed IPOB that is innocuous. It is disingenuous to allow that”. “We therefore call on President Buhari, governors of the South East, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, opinion leaders, and human rights groups to engage IPOB and other ...

Nyesom Wike, Rivers state governor, says the $1 billion approved by governors reportedly for the fight against insurgency is illegal. He said this on Friday while speaking with state house correspondents after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa, Abuja. Wike said while the fight against insurgency remains vital, such an approval is against the law. He said the same amount should also be approved for the Ogoni clean-up and other issues in the Niger Delta. “For me it (the fund) is illegal,” he said. “However, we are talking about fighting insurgence and no right thinking individual will say that he will not support the government to fight insurgency. “But on the other hand, I believe that we have been talking about the environmental issues in the Niger Delta particularly in Ogoni land, I believe that we can also take the same money from the excess crude account to fund the problem in Ogoni land and other Niger Delta ...

The government is most lethargic. “Since Buhari came, no budget has achieved 40 per cent implementation and his first term is coming to an end.

Ali Ndume, lawmaker representing Borno south senatorial district, says the $1 billion approved for the fight against insurgency is “a drop in the ocean”. Governors had agreed that the money should be withdrawn from the excess crude account (ECA) and used to procure equipment to fight Boko Haram insurgents.

Moves by the Federal Government to withdraw $1 billion from the Excess Crude Account to fund the war against insurgency in the North Eastern part of the country, on Thursday, caused a protest on the floor of the Senate. Senators expressed disappointment that the leadership refused to open a debate on the contentious proposal. Senate President Bukola Saraki almost could not persuade his colleagues that the Senate would debate the matter upon resumption from Christmas and New Year recess.

Sen. Sam Anyanwu had, on Wednesday, drawn the attention of his colleagues to the fact that the planned withdrawal o...
