Latest on #ENDSARS protest

 #EndSARS protesters in Edo state attacked:


Two persons died when protesters and some thugs clashed at Ring Road, Benin during the #EndSARS protest. One of the male victims was shot dead while the other was macheted by hoodlums at Ring Road near the palace of the Oba of Benin.

Meanwhile, Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki (GGO) has taken to twitter to voice his opinion and this is what he said: "thorough investigation would be conducted immediately to fish out the culprits of the attack on peaceful #EndSAR protesters in Benin City, and we would do all possible within the law to ensure those culpable are brought to justice".



This protest made me understand that if everyone had adequate food, good education system and a good paying Jobs, the crime rate of this country would be low and there would have been cordial relationships amongst everyone but damn these Thieves took them all.

Nigeria returning to a state of nature

Reading through the front pages and major news pages of some mainstream newspapers today such as The Guardian and Daily Sun brought tears to my eyes and reminded me that indeed existential philosophers were right to conclude with the founding fathers of scholarly philosophy that in life the only permanent phenomenon is change.  You may want to know the source or cause of this upsurge in the emotional upsets I experienced. If in the affirmative, permit me to let you know that it was the photograph of hundreds of children, women and young persons in Plateau State that stood on the queue for their turns to receive plates of foods from the emergency relief services. These were persons hitherto happily doing their farm works in their different villages in Plateau State prior to the sudden invasion by well-armed Fulani militia who slaughtered over 200 persons and drove them forcefully out of the ancestral homelands and indeed the invaders had the temerity to settle down in those ‘...

China Is Loaning Billions of Dollars to African Countries. Here's Why the U.S. Should Be Worried

Next week, China will host leaders from across Africa for a summit in Beijing. The last summit was held in December 2015 in Johannesburg, South Africa, where Chinese President Xi Jinping announced $60 billion in funding support for infrastructure development in Africa. The upcoming Forum on China-Africa Cooperation is sure to include an eye-popping announcement of billions of dollars more in Chinese financing to build infrastructure across the continent. But these massive loans can come with steep and opaque conditions. It’s tempting for Americans to think this is not our problem. But as African countries sink deeper and deeper into Beijing’s carefully laid debt trap, the United States could pay a steep cost in reduced cooperation on counterterrorism and job creation. Chinese debt has become the methamphetamines of infrastructure finance: highly addictive, readily available, and with long-term negative effects that far outweigh any temporary high. This is particularly true in sub-S...
