OBASANJO'S TRANSGRESSIONS AGAINST NIGERIA AND NIGERIANS

A savaging debate has erupted in Nigeria over statements made by the former president of the country, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, regarding his recent call on Nigeria's very seriously ill President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua to resign as president of the country. Obasanjo was quoted as saying, with regards to Yar'Adua, "If you cannot satisfy yourself, how can you satisfy your family or a nation? And if you cannot satisfy a nation, you can resign, which serves as part of morality, dignity and honour." Most Nigerians view Obasanjo's populist call, as it reflects the opinion of the majority of Nigerians, as a caculated attempt to mask his greatest transgressions against the Nigerian state and Nigerians: forcing and foisting a very sick individual as President of NigeriA.

The crisis that has engulfed Nigeria is of Obasanjo's making. (READ MORE)

THE WITCHHUNT AGAINST CONGRESSMAN
CHARLES B. RANGEL

Black Lawmakers in Congress More Likely to be Probed Than Their White Counterparts

According to Mr. Bresnahan’s article, “A document leaked to The Washington Post last week showed that nearly three dozen lawmakers have come under scrutiny this year by either the House ethics committee or the Office of Congressional Ethics, an independent watchdog created in 2008 at the insistence of Pelosi. While the list contained a substantial number of white lawmakers, the ethics committee has not yet launched formal investigative subcommittees with respect to any of them — as it has with the seven African-American members.

Before the aforementioned incident over 140 million Nigerians have been unfairly labeled or stereotyped as either fraudsters, drug dealers, corrupt, or such, and many have vehemently fought to correct the wrong impression.

PRESIDENT OBAMA BLASTS SUPREME COURT RULING ON CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAW

One of the reasons I ran for President was because I believed so strongly that the voices of everyday Americans, hardworking folks doing everything they can to stay afloat, just weren't being heard over the powerful voices of the special interests in Washington. And the result was a national agenda too often skewed in favor of those with the power to tilt the tables. (READ MORE)

YEAH!! COLTS TO THE SUPER BOWL: DEFEATS THE JETS 30-17

My sincerest apologies to Pete Manning. You performed brilliantly. All the rubbish people have written about you, you don't deserve. You showed the upstart Jets, with all that talk about their much vaunted defence and offence being No.1 in the league, you shredded them.

The rookie quarterback, Sanchez, was no match to your methodical execution of the plays.

With your black coach, Jim Caldwell, please get another Super Bowl ring. You have already won four MVP honors, now is the time for you to win another one.

I want to see you and Jim Caldwell win the Super Bowl and go to the White House to meet the black man who is the President of this country.

HAITI: POEMS OF FREEDOM

Haiti O Haiti

Haiti, O Haiti

Your sons and daughters suffer the trail

Of a tragic tremor of seven magnitudes

Corpses and carcasses liter the street

Limbs and houses crushed and crumbled

Haiti, O Haiti

Your children cry and weep and wail

For many loved ones are hereby gone,

But in their eyes, I see resolve and hope

In their strides I see strength and courage

Haiti, O Haiti,

Your children suffer, yes they do, but

History knows your children are brave

Sole masters of their land and freedom,

For the ancestors and for country unity reigns

Haiti, O Haiti

Your children are tested once again

And your children shall by this unite,

The battle is ahead and shall be met

For the Haitian will is even stronger

Haiti, O Haiti

Your children shall stand and walk again

For this tragic tremor shall not win.

Over the shaken lands they shall march, for

Even in death there’s beauty and Haiti shall live again.
