THE UNRECOGNIZED FORCE BEHIND THE STATISTICS.

-

Who is that FORCE?

Unrecognized by who?

Why? and Why Now not Latter?





In Africa it is a common practice to wait until one is dead then we can eulogize them when we could as well as give them the deserved tributes when they are still breathing. why should I wait for some 70 years from now to do what I could have done yesterday? What is the assurance that I would be there when that time comes? Let us cultivate the habit of "now or never!"

As I reflect upon one of the great and noble one, the man whose work and work ethic has left the mouth of many waging and wonder, how does he do it? This fast?

The organization within which he works, obviously could not be perfect as none is but could have done better when he was wrongly accused and had his image dented among those who never knew him nor his work.

People from all classes were crucifying him without asking the right question, some are doing so based on perception, others out of ignorance, some out of the pain of the past due to his "no nonsense" nature, but others were out of being mischievous. In the eyes of this storm, even his best friends abandoned him, some do so in secret but pretend to sympathize with him in the open, some said "well his time is past, he should've been behind bars by now if not for ...... we have to move on," others said, he brought it upon him, while orders stood by him just because that is the only side they could be on, but some truly not only sympathized with him but empathized with him, they felt he was just trying to help, they felt for his family and others within his care, they wondered, "Do these people not know he has a family? How could they be this wicked, why is he being punished by those who are worst, ( if at all he was what they said he was, which WE are sure he isn't)".

Some even advocated for a corresponding sanction at home which his travail abroad had nothing to do with.

Debunking the Misguided Attacks on Nnamdi Kanu: A Response to Baseless Accusations and Personal Vendettas by “Ugochinyere David”

  Debunking the Misguided Attacks on Nnamdi Kanu:  A Response to Baseless Accusations and Personal Vendettas by “Ugochinyere David”   “Ugochinyere David”, an obscure writer hiding behind a pseudonym, seeks relevance by attacking Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, a prominent freedom fighter. His article, "Kanu continues a futile attempt at grandstanding," is a biased, sensationalist piece that undermines journalistic integrity. Rather than addressing the complex legal and political issues surrounding Kanu, “David” resorts to ad hominem attacks, sweeping generalizations, and a blatant disregard for factual accuracy. This response dissects the article’s flaws and exposes its personal vendetta against Kanu.   1. Mischaracterization of Kanu’s Struggle “David” claims that Kanu has plunged the South-East into "chaos and backwardness," ignoring the decades-long marginalization and systemic injustice faced by the Igbo people. He conveniently overlooks the terror perpetrated by Ful...

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu ~ “I AGITATE FOR BIAFRA; IT IS MY RIGHT TO AGITATE.”

The Unyielding Struggle of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the Biafran libration             Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s declaration, “I agitate for Biafra; it is my right to agitate,” underscores the universal fight for self-determination—a right enshrined in international law. Yet, his persecution, illegal detention, and Nigeria’s disregard for court rulings and UN directives reveal a troubling erosion of justice. From his extraordinary rendition in 2021 to the indefinite adjournment of his case, Kanu’s plight demands global attention. As the Latin saying goes, "Iniuria uni fit iniuria omnibus"—injustice to one is injustice to all. It’s a call for activists and people of conscience worldwide to rise in solidarity and demand justice.  “I AGITATE FOR BIAFRA; IT IS MY RIGHT TO AGITATE.” In a bold declaration during a recent court appearance, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), asserted, “I agitate for Biafra; it is my right to agitat...

Unity in Diversity: A Facade? The Nigerian Paradox and the Illusion of Amalgamation

  Unity in Diversity: A Facade? The Nigerian Paradox and the Illusion of Amalgamation WARNING ⚠:  Kindly spare 10 -15 minutes of your time, this article is philosophical and shall require more focus and reflection.   Verily, let us embark upon a discourse most profound, a meditation upon the nature of unity and the artifice thereof, as it pertains to the entity known as Nigeria. A land vast and varied, a tapestry woven of many threads—some vibrant, some frayed—yet bound together by the hand of colonial machination. The year of our Lord 1914 marked the birth of this contrived nation, a forced amalgamation orchestrated not by the will of its peoples, but by the decree of foreign overlords. "Ex injuria jus non oritur," saith the Latin maxim: from a wrong, right cannot arise. And yet, here we stand, beholding the edifice of Nigeria, a structure built upon the sands of coercion, its foundation cracked and its walls leaning precariously.   The words of Nigeria’s s...
