I have just returned from the goriest scenes of the hellish mayhem in Eastern Nigeria.
I said my people would retaliate and NOT THAT THEY SHOULD RETALIATE and my warning was ignored and my subjective statement that true Muslims wouldn't have done what happened in Nigeria was also misinterpreted.
As I alerted the rest of the Global Voices Online, the worst has happened and over 200 innocent lives have been lost in Northern and Eastern Nigeria over some critical Danish cartoons that the victims never saw?
In fact, a Voice of America report had it that when eventually the Maiduguri riots were about to start, leaders of Christian groups alerted the Police chief in Borno State who is a Moslem and nothing was done to head off the disaster that was to come upon Christian non-indigenes, especially Igbos. The result was the killing of scores of innocent Nigerians by bands of riff-raffs masquerading as Moslem activists. Shops were looted. Perhaps, that was the real motive for embarking on the riots. Christian places of worship were vandalised.

Babies were murdered in broad daylight over Danish cartoons of Prophet Muhammed!
Incredible, but true!
Will true Muslims disembowel an innocent priest and set ablaze a house with a mother and her children and they were burnt to death?
ONLY DEMONS WILL COMMIT THE GORIEST ATROCITIES WE ARE SEEING THESE DAYS IN THE MASQUERADE OF RELIGION AND PEOPLE WANT ME TO AVERT MY EYES AND NOT CONDEMN AN EVIL RELIGION OF DIABOLICAL TERRORISM?
By their fruits you shall know them!
Evil begets evil.
And evil is of the devil.
Sokari is in her comfort zone in Europe and Imnakoya is in his comfort zone in America, but I am right here in the bloody Niger Delta and I risked my life to travel by road at night to Yenogua, Onitsha and to Lagos and I am now back to Bonny Island.
I have been to the North and South, East and West of Nigeria as a Unicef Consultant and I have served both Muslims and Christians. So, who is talking?
I have seen hundreds of corpses as a refugee child during the Nigerian Civil War and I have seen scores of more corpses during the horrifying and terrifying June 12 riots in Lagos and I have seen other corpses during other conflicts in Nigeria. So, when I am harrowing in sorrow and you have not been through the nightmares of the agonies I have been through, please let me be.
I have been expelled by Sokari Ekine from the African Volunteers of Global Voices Online, because of my views on the wickedness of the Muslims who attacked and killed innocent Christians, including a priest and three children in Northern Nigeria over the Danish cartoons of Prophet Muhammed.
The undemocratic decision of Ms. Sokari Ekine has only betrayed the very essence of the existence of Global Voices Online. Because, she has allowed her personal bias to dictate her rejoinder to my right to Free Speech on the emergencies in our country Nigeria after irate Muslims razed several churches and murdered innocent Christians in their violent protests over the controversial Danish cartoons in Maiduguri, Northern Nigeria.
Did Sokari consult other members of the African Volunteers before taking her Unilateral and Dictatorial Action to expel me from the African Volunteers?
So Much For Free Speech and Press Freedom.
The local mainstream media is trying to cover up the full details of bloody mayhem over the Danish cartoons in Northern Nigeria so that the news will not spread fast to the Christians in Southern Nigeria who will not waste time to retaliate.
The Muslims dominate Northern Nigeria and the Christians dominate Southern Nigeria. But, the Christians are very peaceful and don't attack Muslims no matter the verbal provocation, but the Muslims are always attacking Christians in Northern Nigeria over provocative issues caused by Americans or Europeans.
I mean, are we Danish? Or did we tell the Danish cartoonists to draw caricatures of Prophet Mohammed?
It is incredible how these demons in the masquerade of their religion react to any critical remark on their prophet and religion.
If critics criticize your peculiar belief, simply refute the erroneous or offensive remarks or allegations and do your best to correct the erroneous or misleading expressions and go on defending your faith and beliefs and not going on rampage to attack and destroy lives and properties. As in the case of Nigeria, they attacked and killed innocent Christians, including children and burnt down churches in their region! Why?
These are not spontaneous violent attacks, but orchestrated attacks planned from their mosques. All their decisions and actions are always taken and planned from their mosques where they are always swearing and cursing the "infidels" as they label all those who are not Muslims and their ultimate mission is to convert all "infidels" to Islam by peace or by force. That is what they call their Jihad. The vehicle of their religious terrorism.
I will not accept the imposition of any religion by force of violence or dictorship and I shall oppose all forms of religious, political and economic tyranny. And I shall defend the fundamental human rights to freedom of __expression, to live in peace and let others live in peace as well. Because, nobody, race or creed should oppress and suppress another if we want to live in peace, security and unity on earth.
My mission statement has always been:
“Enlighten the people, generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like spirits at the dawn of day.”

President George W. Bush and Kofi Anan
The Washington Post reports the good news from President George W. Bush that the US will support the deployment of more troops to increase the peace keeping force of the African Union in Darfur. And I say, it is long over due. The procrastination has cost thousands of innocent lives in Darfur. And I have already made repeated calls for such a task force on my The DARFUR Blog since the beginning of this year. So, I agree, that it's about time we eradicate the Janjaweed terrorists on rampage in Darfur and put an end to the tyranny in Sudan.

FROM REUTERS: NIGERIAN ARMY IN THE NIGER DELTA.
As we say in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, "you cannot quench fire with fire!".
But this is exactly what the Federal Government is trying to do in the Niger Delta of Nigeria since Wednesday when the armed forces attacked Gbaramatu in their search and destroy mission to retaliate the killing of over 14 soldiers by the militant Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta(MEND)during the hostage taking of four foreign oil workers last month.
Reuters just reported an e-mail message from MEND:
Militants from the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) said the helicopter targeted ethnic Ijaw communities in the Gbaramatu area of the state. The group said this followed an attack on Wednesday in the same area.
"Our units there were authorized to shoot down this craft which they attempted with rockets and machine-gun fire. The chopper immediately abandoned its mission and fled," MEND said in an e-mail statement.REUTERS
The Nigerian Armed Forces should be withdrawn from this futile mission before the critical situation becomes worse.
From the latest reports on the military helicopter attacks on the helpless communities in the Niger Delta region, the Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC)has become the scape-goat again. Because, Shell's flow stations have been blown up and millions of dollars have been lost again.
Why is President Olusegun Obasanjo behaving like a military head of state in a civilian government?
While real American heroes are busy fighting and dying for the American Dream in Iraq, Vice President Cheney is busy hunting quail in a ranch?
What a joke!
The ridiculous news that Cheney accidentally sprayed his companion Harry Whittington with birdshot is very annoying!
Dick "the chicken" Cheney should be sent to Iraq to join the Marines in manhunting for real game-Osama bin Laden and other wild animals.
Ignorant Muslims in Kenya Protest Against Danish Caricatures in Nairobi.
The latest Washington Post report of the hypertensive demonstrations of angry Muslims over some cartoons spreading throughout the Islamic communities in the world shocks me. Why? The above photograph of Africans in Kenya who have also joined the Muslims in Solidarity. Don't they look like Caricatures?
Most Africans always like to ape others. And they are the worst hypocrites in the world. These same faces you see in this photograph screaming their heads off, "shouting "Kill Danes! Down with Denmark!" will tomorrow be kowtowing like dogs at the various American and European embassies begging for American and European Visas and they are ready to even sell their sisters to Western sex tourists to procure Visas to the same Denmark and America they pretend to hate so much.
Most of these ignorant fools have not even seen the so called Danish caricatures.
SHAME ON YOU HYPOCRITES AND PARASITES.
The Palestinian American Congress(PAC) sent me a copy of their Press Statement minutes ago.
Press Release / the Palestinian American Congress /USA

National Executive Committee
New York
A spokesman for PAC / USA National Executive Committee stated,” PAC / USA expresses regret and concern over the recent violence and unfortunate rhetoric surrounding the cartoons published in a Danish newspaper and other European newspapers depicting offensive images of the prophet muhammad.The cartoons defame the Prophet Muhammad and are offensive to the world's 1.4 billion Muslims, whose religion reveres the Prophet as the final messenger from God after Prophet Jesus, bearing the message of monotheism. The cartoons have caused protests, diplomatic actions and threats of boycotts across the Muslim world.
Many Muslims around the world are justifiably offended at the images, as they reinforce stereotypes about Muslims and Islam and come on the heels of years of oppression and persecution against many Muslims around the world. However, we unreservedly reject the recent violence directed at Europeans and European embassies and consulates; and we challenge those responsible to work toward more constructive solutions to the problems of racism worldwide and the brutality of occupation especially in Palestine. Brutality is never an answer to injustice and disrespect.
Western critics of the negative response among Muslims say the newspapers have freedom of speech and, apparently, no responsibility to monitor themselves. European journalists claim that in defending free speech, they are defending “the very bedrock of Western civilization." But when a cartoon appeared in the Independent in 2003, depicting Prime Minister Sharon of Israel eating the head of a Palestinian child while saying:
"What's wrong? You've never seen a politician kissing babies before?" Jews in Britain and around the world erupted with indignation. Offend Zionist Jews and the world erupts in indignation. And this was an anti-Israel cartoon, not anti-Semitic. A cartoon that is offensive to Muslims, on the other hand, is depicted as an _expression of 'free speech. This is hypocrisy.
We hope that recent incidents do not inhibit future improved relations between the West & the East and non-Muslim Europeans and Muslims around the world. Only together can we work effectively toward universal justice.

PLEASE, THIS IS NOT A CARICATURE.
What is in an imaginary drawing of someone who lived and died centuries ago and none of us knows what he or she looked like? Just like that imaginative drawing or painting of Jesus Christ. God knows that the illustration is not His beloved Son Jesus Christ. But, He has not sent hail stones of His fiery anger to burn us to cinder. God is ever merciful as long as we repent. God is not a suicide bomber and He does not behead people. Because, God is not a Muslim. And God is not a Christian. God is not a Democrat and God is not a Republican. Infact, God does not love President George Walker Bush more than Osama bin Laden. Please, buy this classic Thomas Jefferson's quoted Tee Shirt for your Muslim friends and others. Just buy as many as possible to donate them to Muslims in America and Europe and other parts of the world. Because, they need this message urgently.

My classic Geek Freedom of Expression Public Enlightenment Campaign T- Shirt is now available for only $15 in classic white or black “Enlighten the people, generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like spirits at the dawn of day.”

The Freedom of Expression T-Shirt is to promote my Public Enlightenment Campaign in view of the violent protests over some offensive cartoons in the Islamic world.
What is in a cartoon?
Why not laugh it off or dismiss it and continue with your life instead of going on rampage over a petty issue.
Please, grow up boys!
It was the good Rev. M. R. Watkinson, Minister of the Gospel from Ridleyville, Pennsylvania, who first made a formal appeal for the recognition of the Almighty God in American Currency in a letter he wrote to the Secretary of the Treasury, Salmon P. Chase on November 13, 1861.
Dear Sir,
You are about to submit your annual report to the Congress respecting the affairs of the national finances.
One fact touching our currency has hitherto been seriously overlooked. I mean the recognition of the Almighty God in some form on our coins.
IN GOD WE TRUST
This historical giant leap of faith has made America the wealthiest nation on earth since they made that covenant with the Almighty God. And nothing can break this divine covenant, except the covenant keeping God Himself. And He doesn't change. So, that means America will continue to flourish and prosper as long as God pleases.
But in my country Nigeria, our case is different. We have not made any covenant with God in our currency and no wonder the value of our Naira depends on the Almighty Dollar.
Back to America.
But, how many Americans trust in God or in their dollar?
Without any fear or favour, I can state here that majority of Americans trust their dollar more than God. Millions of them don't even trust God at all. Because, anybody who will not bow to the authority, excellency and supremacy of God does not believe or have any trust in the Almighty God.
Where your heart is, that is where your God is.
As long as "IN GOD WE TRUST" remains on the American currency, I will continue to support the United States of America, no matter what happens. Because, "In God I Trust".
Opposition to gay relations is deep-rooted in Nigeria, with the bulk of the north’s Muslims and the south’s Christians united in their hostility toward homosexuality.
Irinnews
Recently the Nigerian government proposed a law to ban homosexuality and some so called gay activists said the law would be the violation of human rights?
Nigerian Times supports this law and Nigerian Times is against all forms of sexual abuse. Homosexuality is the worst form of sexual abuse after rape.
