Do we have any update from law enforcement or the DSS on this individual and his collaborators? Are there any arrests? Is there any update on the investigation of his genocidal threats, or is he being protected by his friends in the Lagos State government? Will this matter also be swept under the carpet because of the people in power and the targeted population?

Rep. Jim McGovern
Rep. Jim McGovern@RepMcGovern·
23 years ago tonight, in an Oval Office address, George W. Bush announced the start of the Iraq War. 4,492 American service members were killed in the years that followed. 32,292 were wounded. At least 200,000 Iraqi civilians died. The humanitarian impact was immense. America wasted 9 years and 3 trillion dollars on a war that never should have happened—a war predicated on a lie, pushed by warmongering neocon politicians, and paid for by everyday people. Imagine what that $3 trillion could have bought here at home. Imagine the decade we could have spent focusing on America, our people, our place in the world. Imagine the lives our service members, stolen from us, would have lived. But instead, the president took us to war. Yet another costly quagmire in the Middle East. I voted against the Iraq War. I knew the White House would lie to Members of Congress and voters alike to manufacture the pretext for a conflict—and they did. Now, Iran is shaping up to be Iraq 2.0—new lies, new bloodthirsty politicians, still paid for by American families. Yesterday, we learned that Trump wants another $200 billion for his war. That's after Congress already gave the Pentagon more money than it even asked for in the budget. Enough is enough. It is not too late to learn from the past. Stop this madness. Bring our troops home. End this war.

I first heard of Olukumi about 4 years ago when one Eze chatted me up on LinkedIn. I thought he was Igbo so I responded In Igbo. I was shocked when he told me he is not Igbo but Yoruba from Olukumi, Anioma, in Delta State. Yesterday however, I met one physically in an office. I asked him (Youth Corper) for his name and he said Austine Anyasi. I spoke Igbo to him as Anyasi means night in Igbo. He said he is not Igbo but Yoruba from Ugbódú, in Anioma, Delta State. I asked him why answer Igbo name as a Yoruba man? He then explained that their real name is Alẹ́. Alẹ́ means night in Yoruba and Anyasi in Igbo. Then I understood the power of acculturation more. The Olukumi speak a dialect of Yoruba similar to that spoken in a part of Ondo State. Since they live in smaller communities around larger Igbo communities in Anioma, Aniocha North Local Government Area and nearby areas in Delta State. It is only natural that with the passage of time, they began to answer the names of the larger community where they find themselves. They are bilingual. It is the same thing with Ijaw people who live in Ondo, Ogu in Badagry and Igala in Enugu and Anambra. Many of them answer names of the larger community. Rose Odika the veteran Nollywood actress is Olukumi and there are so many of them like that. They prefer to answer Igbo names yet they are Yoruba. Until one travels or truly opens his heart, one will not understand some things. Does one willingly answer the names of a people that are not good to one? I mean you drop your name and choose to answer the names of the larger community? Bottom line: we are first humans before belonging to tribes and no one chooses which tribe to be born into.

“All The Billions Of Naira That Tinubu Has Pumped Into His 2027 Presidential Campaign, And That His Son Seyi Tinubu Has Spent On The ‘City Boys’ Movement, Should Have Been More Than Enough To Fix Nigeria’s Electricity Problems, Build Better Schools And Roads, And Improve Healthcare In The Country.” ~ Canadian-Based Nigerian Doctor

70 and 80 year old people are generally unemployable due to physical and mental decline but for some reason we allow them to run the entire fucking country.

See the name in 1959. An R was added to it to make it not to sound Igbo. We have reclaimed our land. Tinubu please tell King Charles.

Nigeria’s Worrisome Terrorism status The latest Global Terrorism Index report ranks Nigeria among the most terrorized nations in the world, showing one of the highest increases in deaths from terrorism. This is a painful indictment of failed leadership. While many countries are seeing a decline in terrorism, Nigeria is moving in the opposite direction. This trend is a direct result of misplaced priorities, weak governance, corruption, a lack of rule of law, and the persistent neglect of security, which is the government's most fundamental duty. From the insurgency of Boko Haram to the growing threat posed by the Islamic State West Africa Province, the crisis of kidnapping, and unchecked violence in our rural communities by heavily armed bandits, Nigerians are dying daily while those in power continue to feast. What is the purpose of government if it cannot protect lives? Why are we normalizing tragedy while other nations make progress? This is not the Nigeria we should accept. We cannot continue down this path. It is time to move from excuses to action, and from failure to measurable progress. A safe and secure Nigeria is not too much to ask; it is the right of every citizen, and it must be delivered. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
