  For a President who keeps eyeing the Nobel Peace Prize as his most coveted trophy for now, the US President does find it difficult to curb his love for violence both in action and words. The most strategic expression of his passion is the renaming of Department of Defence to Department of War . But, then to be functional Department of War needs War to take action and satisfying that need is giving US President sleepless night, no one seems to appreciate his predicament. After using the expertise of US Military to bomb small fisher boats with fishermen to smithereens, the most powerful US tech military industry is busy sharpening their skills to address the greatest national household crime in Nigeria [1], the livestock theft. From total of 51.8 million household crimes, the largest share is that of livestock theft which accounts for 18% of total crime, followed by theft of crop which accounts for 15.8 percent and among the lowest is theft of motor vehicles which is around 0.6 p...

  BBC, Ofcom and Director of Editorial Complaints and Review (BBC) Peter Johnston stated the documentary on Gaza: How to survive a warzone has to be sanctioned for it committed a “serious breach” of broadcasting rules under Section 3: Accuracy. They expressed the step taken   indicated their professionalism, commitment to their audience and integrity in production of their products. But they all forgot they were committing another serious breach when they sanctioned the documentary stating not “labelling” the 13 years old child as being son of Deputy Minister of Agriculture within Hamas administrative wing was a serious violation of Broadcasting rules and guidelines. They were abusing the rights of a child and defaming him by questioning his integrity and ethics, they did this by sanctioning a documentary on children living through a genocide (not war BBC). It was not Professionalism it was act of total Inhumanity to children in Gaza. Under Broadcasting rules and guidelines ...

  Across developed countries there is a new found passion to attack migrants and blame them for disappearing livelihood options, crime and increasing cost of living. But this is a simplistic analysis of a complex reality that is dynamic. There is an overriding false assumption that migrants are taking away jobs that white population yearn or compete for. It is not possible for migrants to enter a country a) without the direct or in direct collusion of the government or institutions and people in power, especially when migration is reality year after year and surplus labour is a way for cheap labour b) migrants cannot enter a country unless there is a need for them, the only exception at a miniscule level would be extreme fear of prosecution at home c) If migrants see a country as a way for improving the standard of living, then that country needs migrants. Yes, the times they are changing, but not because suddenly a white population have woken up to the threat of migrants. Di...

  Peace is a process is not an outcome of an action at the policy level for policy without ground reality is transitory and a mirage. The integral part of peace is not just the power of the offender but also the power of the victim, a reality asserted to its fullest by Palestinians, ordinary Palestinian from different walks of life across age groups, who patiently went through the process of being tossed around across Palestine by Israeli forces drunk on power from US support and that of EU. As they walked through the maze set by Israel to ensure their fall, be it through snipper shots, bombs, missiles or even being buried alive, they asserted the power of the victims of a genocide. As they walked through the genocide the world watched in horror, but the Palestinian resilience made the world see beyond the horror, we the people saw the might of human mind, the warmth of humanity that cared even when all is lost. We identified with the treasures of humanity Palestinians showed us ...

  The Gaza plan which contains nothing but a list of logical fallacies strung together to ensure the genocide of  Palestinians by Israel, is distant from reality, to highlight the same, according to Gaza Plan the great security threat faced by Israel one of the major global military powers with the best tech based military infrastructure and skills is from Palestinian people and their resistance group of 30,000 members with limited arms and abundance of skills for guerilla war fare but nominal military power for dropping bombs and missiles at will or securing the skies from any threat. UN, you are supposed to stand up for the vulnerable countries, so why are you letting US President and Netanyahu the Genocidaire make a mockery of international justice among UN Member states. Wouldn’t it be your duty to indicate to Palestine that Gaza Plan is a scheming ill meaning effort by US President to ensure Israel can have a say in how sovereign Gaza is formed, managed, secured, run,...

  US President’s  America plan is an insult to international diplomacy that adheres to justice, critical thinking and the universality of sovereign rights. But then US democracy is being taken for a ride within the United States so to expect anything from US President that will have modicum of decency when addressing sovereign rights of Palestine which has struggled for its statehood, would be wishful thinking. The decades of punishment imposed by US and EU countries on Palestinians have been because Palestine dared to protest against its land being stolen, its population driven out to live on streets in neighbouring countries and it asserted it has rights over its land and it belonged to its people-Palestinians. After decades of resisting the criminal occupation of Palestine and total enslavement of Palestinians in Gaza, the US President wants to ensure Palestine is imprisoned by Israel into perpetuity. What gives the President of United State the right to state Palestine...
