Boko Haram Is Sensible Than This Jonathan’s Leadership - Iyabo Obasanjo

Iyabo Obasanjo, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo has written another open letter to the leadership of the Boko Haram sections.

Although she accused those in President Goodluck Jonathan's inner circle of hindering the resolution of the crisis posed by the Boko Haram insurgency, she faulted the insurgents for betraying the true essence of revolutionaries in directing their venom against the lower class.

"I am moved to write about the current state of affairs in Nigeria. My first inclination was to write to the President but since all letters to him seem to elicit only open derision and even more stupidity from his inner circle, I have decided to address my letter to a group also currently causing Nigerians a lot of pain and agony that may actually have more sense than the country's leadership."

Dear Boko Haram,

The fact that you have taken arms against the Nigerian state is no surprise. The question should be why haven't more young people organised themselves against the state?

Even the fact that your motto, 'Against Western Education' is in a way reasonable given the fact that your leader, martyred by the Nigerian state had university education and found no reasonable employment but had to resort to thuggery for politicians to survive, as the story goes.

He, like millions of Nigerian young people and college graduates, seeing a blighted future are doing anything to survive. They have become opportunistic desperados, almost sub human as the stepping on and trampling on each other to death at the Immigration employment debacle indicates.

Where you're wrong

Where I think you have gotten it wrong are in two areas, if you can pardon my giving you some unsolicited advice. First, your victims are becoming more and more the people you should be attracting to your side. Take the Nyanya bus massacre.

The people that live in Nyanya are usually the clerks, messengers and other lowly office workers that live out in relative slums compared to the rest of Abuja and take public transportation to work to receive monthly salaries they barely get by on.

Consult any written work of successful revolutionaries be it French, Russian, Cuban or even the more recent uprooting of communism in Eastern Europe, to succeed you need the people to be on your side. Right now you are not achieving this.

You are targeting the group you need most. This does not make for a successful revolution but you are making yourselves into nuisances to the people and in the end while the state, including its military machine may not be able to conquer you, your downfall will be alienating these potential allies, i.e. the oppressed and down-trodden.

Secondly, the abduction of girls. It must be hard to stay in the bush as all male revolutionaries fending for yourselves with no sexual gratification.

Cuban example

But again, reading up on past bush revolutionaries like the Cuban, for example, indicates that they were able to convince some women to go voluntarily with them into the bush.

Somehow, revolutionary zeal does not include sexual abstinence and cooking and cleaning by yourselves.

Reading must be hard for you since you hate education but the past is a good guide to the future and if you can't read, you are done for in organizing or succeeding in most endeavours as most things have been done before and reading up on how it was done can only serve as good guidance.

The parents of the girls you abducted are just trying to give their daughters a chance at having successful lives. Without an education there is very little anyone can achieve in this early 21st century.

I know living in the bush; it must still seem like the dark ages but the truth is that even with the lack of jobs and opportunities for young people in Nigeria currently, it is still better to be educated.

An educated university graduate who was selling food from a food cart ignited the Arab Spring which was spread by use of the internet which is hard to use if you are not educated.

There are writings, videos and stuff you post on the internet which I haven't seen. But think of it, you can only post and use the internet because some of you have some education.
But in the end you have no control over the distribution of your advertising and recruiting information because as you may know, the internet is really part of the western system you despise.

Why you're succeeding

The truth is that you have succeeded because the Nigerian state has failed to provide jobs and opportunity for its young people who you can now easily recruit. By disrupting education, you are adding to the burden of the people.

You may say, but how about our religious issue? Let the truth be told, just as there are indigenous southern Muslims, there are indigenous northern Christians even from your epicentre in Borno State and just as you are zealous for your religion, I don't see them giving up their religion either.

The reasonable solution to this impasse would be for you to advocate for everyone to be able to practice their religion as they see fit with respect for each other's beliefs.

Remember, a couple of centuries ago, all of our ancestors below the Sahara were all animists worshipping various 'gods.'

This 'One God' — us against them situation — is a relatively recent one in our human history and you will be advised to let the originators fight it out and let your people be.

US embassy in Nigeria warns of possible terror attack on Sheraton Hotel in Lagos

The United States Embassy in Nigeria yesterday Friday May 2nd issued a warning to U.S citizens, asking them to avoid Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states, and also said 'groups associated with terrorism' are planning an attack on Sheraton Hotel in Lagos.



You can read the full statement below from their website.



The Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the risks of travel to Nigeria and recommends that U.S. citizens avoid all travel to Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states because of the May 14, 2013 state of emergency proclamation for those three states by the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. As of late April, groups associated with terrorism allegedly planned to mount an unspecified attack against the Sheraton Hotel in Nigeria, near the city of Lagos. 



There was no further information regarding which of the two Sheraton Hotels in Lagos was the possible target, or if both of the Sheraton Hotels are possible targets. There is no further information regarding the timing or method of attack. U.S. citizens are cautioned to avoid these hotels at this time.



The security situation in the country remains fluid and unpredictable. The U.S. Department of State strongly urges U.S. citizens in Nigeria to keep personal safety and health in the forefront of your planning. We remind U.S. citizens to review your personal security plans; remain aware of your surroundings, including local events; and monitor local news stations for updates. Maintain a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to enhance your personal security.



The Department strongly advises U.S. citizens who travel to or reside in Nigeria to enroll in the State Department's Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). U.S. citizens without internet access may enroll directly with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. STEP enrollment gives you the latest security updates, and makes it easier for the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate to contact you in an emergency.

THE TRAGIC: Swimmer Died Saving Girlfriend’s Life

A 21-year old swimmer, John Servati of  Tupelo, Mississipi, USA, was reportedly killed on Monday night when storm swept through the city. According to Foxnews, the student of University of Alabama was killed after a concrete wall collapsed on him while he was trying to save his girlfriend. 

It was gathered through Diedre Stalnakar, Tuscaloosa city spokeswoman, that the late Servati, a Dean's list student was taking shelter in the basement of a house off the campus when a retaining wall collapsed on him.

According to a colleague of the deceased, Anna Rae Gwarjanksi, a senior swimmer at the school, who tweeted that Servati died a hero and held up a concrete wall long enough for his girlfriend to get out from under it before it collapsed again on him. Stalnaker said the tragic accident happened at a home on 22nd Avenue around 10:30 p.m. when the city was under a tornado warning. 

Servati was said to be pronounced dead at a Local hospital. Phillip Deaton, the captain of the school's swim team, told newsmen that "John was a hero every day, just constantly doing great things, so the fact that he did that doesn't surprise me at all." It was informed that Servati competed in three events at the southeastern conference championships last year and he was named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll.

Nollywood Actress Ini Edo Set To Be Ban From The Nigeria Movie Industry?

Movies makers are set to ban Ini Edo, A reliable source confirmed It. The proposed sanction is due to Ini Edo's arrogant attitude on set and lack of commitment. Recently a movie producer,Mr Ossy Affason gave the actress the whopping sum of 1.3 million Naira for a role in his movie, the set is Asaba, he even flew Ini Edo in to Asaba.



Ini Edo got to the location and started making unnecessary demands. She left the location (Mr Ossy's production) to go do minor jobs in Asaba for two hundred thousand naira .



According to sources: Mr Ossy anticipated her return to set to continue the movie she's been paid for but Ini Edo didn't show up. Rather her brother name Edidiom kept telling Solo Amaco, who is the associate producer that Ini has been down (sick)…



They waited for Ini Edo for one week but she didn't show up so Mercy Johnson was called to take her role.

Now Mr Ossy is demanding for a refund.



With such complains,Movie Makers are considering banning Ini Edo.

"We were in Enugu preparing for her new soap, and Amaka was taking some of the people through acting when she had an asthma attack. After using her inhaler without success, she was taken to a nearby hospital, but we were told that the doctor was not 

around. 



We then went to the teaching hospital in Enugu, where we were again told that the Doctors were on strike. It was while we were taking her to another hospital that she died."

What’s it like to drive the Ferrari LaFerrari? Check out this first-drive video roundup

Over a year after its unveiling at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, Ferrari's LaFerrari hybrid supercar is finally ready to do battle with the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder.



Ferrari recently held the media drive for its new flagship, and several outlets have already recorded their impressions, along with plenty of tire smoke.



So far, English-language video reviews have been posted by Autocar, Evo, and Car and Driver.



Ferrari's first hybrid features a 6.3-liter V12 and a Hy-Kers hybrid system, which produce a combined 950 horsepower. So while the Ferrari can't run on electric power like its McLaren and Porsche rivals, it does produce more power than either of them.



It will also reportedly do 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds, and reach a top speed of over 218 mph.



If that sounds good to you, too bad. The entire 500-unit production run sold out almost before the LaFerrari was unveiled, although one "used" example did turn up at a dealer a few months back wearing a $3.2 million price tag.
