Male Supremacy rules in Nigeria/Africa too!!!

"Why are males, of all ages, so insecure that they need to get their self-worth at the expense of females, of all ages?"

Dear friends,

On the link below is a 25 minutes-long video about human trafficking in the nation that has the world's largest Black population, Nigeria (Brazil is 2nd, the US is 3rd). The real problem, even more so than White Supremacy, is: Male Supremacy. It fosters both economic, physical, and emotional violence against females, literally, every second, of every minute, of every day.

Let's stop it! Why are males, of all ages, so insecure that they need to get their self-worth at the expense of females, of all ages?

Dr. Chika Ezeanya exposes Obama administration's lack of Integrity

" 'So, shame on you, Barack Obama. It is time you ran a campaign consistent with your messages in public, that’s what I expect from you.' That was an unhappy Hilary Clinton..."







Dear friends,

As usual, one of Africa's premier journalists, Dr. Chika Ezeanya of Nigeria, provides us with a brilliant, "no-holds-barred" analysis of the enemies of Africa from both within and outside of our Mother continent that reminds me of the work of the late, great Dr. Walter Rodney. Enjoy!

BP is spilling in the Gulf, Exxon/Mobil is doing just that, right now, in Nigeria - only worse!

"“It is a paradox that the current oil spill in the Mexican Gulf is attracting so much outcry from the American public and leadership but an American oil company is doing worse damage and poisoning the lives of hundreds of millions of Nigerians who depend on fish as the cheapest source of protein and nobody is talking about it...” - Rev. Samuel Ayadi

Dear friends,

For all of the hype about British Petroleum's oil spill in the Gulf, why is it that we have not heard a peep about US compabies like Shell, in the recent past, as well as Exxon/Mobil - a company that is currently responsible for a great oil spill in Nigeria that's going on at this very moment. Moreover, why are North Americans so perturbed about what's happening in the Gulf, while US companues ravage Africa soil and cause vast amounts of deaths from oil polution?

As one man said jusr last month, "The oil companies just ignore it. The lawmakers do not care and people must live with pollution daily. The situation is now worse than it was 30 years ago. Nothing is changing. When I see the efforts that are being made in the US I feel a great sense of sadness at the double standards. What they do in the US or in Europe is very different...We see frantic efforts being made to stop the spill in the US," said Nnimo Bassey, Nigerian head of Friends of the Earth International.

Another Nigerian man, Beb Ikari, a member of the Ogoni people said, "But in Nigeria, oil companies largely ignore their spills, cover them up and destroy people's livelihood and environments. The Gulf spill can be seen as a metaphor for what is happening daily in the oilfields of Nigeria and other parts of Africa." (see "Nigeria's agony dwarfs the Gulf oil spill. The US and Europe ignore it." ( see http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/may/30/oil-spills-nigeria-niger-delta-shell ) As I wrote earlier this month on a blog post called "Yes, Marvin sang "Mercy, Mercy, Me", but it's not just about BP (originally posted 6/10/10)"

Still, what is even worse, regarding all of this mess is: there's never any consideration, much less talk, about cleaning up spills around Africa, whenever or wherever they occur. What's that all about?

In any case, please peruse an article from the very reputable Nigerian Website called SaharaReporters.com on the link that is directly below my name..

Long live African peoples - here and abroad!!!
