Could be that the U.S. and other Western nations are warming up to diversify their political options in Nigeria. There are many indications to that. And the change of directions might be dramatic. After Yeltsin, the U.S. and its western allies are no longer interested in putting their political fortunes in one portfolio- more over, if the portfolio is a sinking ship.
Thomas L. Friedman of New York Times, today declared Obasanjo as a democratically elected leader that is on sinking ship.
Now Obasanjo may be coming to US sometime this month. some reliable source have said that he is coming for his grade and evaluations. So to my fellow Biafrans what do we make of this potential shift on us policy towards Obasanjo. Could this be a good boost to our aspirations to actualize Biafra. Mind you my fellow biafran that United State Anaghi azu ahia na dighi uru no ya ni ime. US will go where their interest will be better protected. In my opinion that will be to Biafra's advantage. Because I can't see US supporting the primitive sharia muslims over christian oil rich and much educated Biafrans.
My fellow Biafrans the promise land may not be too far. In the world of M.L.K I have been to the mountain. I have seen the promised land. We as a people will get to the promise land. Also isn't ironic that sister Amanda have started a thread asking Biafrans what they will do if Biafra is actualized.

My brother Biafra, Every time I look out the window and into the sky, I see nothing but winds of change whriling around...from shore to shore, continent to continent, and country to country...beckoning unto and welcoming Biafra.
I kept telling the delusional one Nigerianers that US and the west has permanent interest, not permanent friend. They used the Awusa/Fulani/Yoruba for their political (cold war with USSR), economical(oil, export zone), and imperialistic (white supremacy) interests during the 60's. Nigeria has continuosly been an embarrassment and a thorn on the western flesh since the war. Other nations have constantly chastised the west about the stench they encouraged, called Nigeria, especially, their human rights record. To butress their disapproval, few days ago, the Nations of the world came together at UN in New York and voted US out of the International human rights committee. That is a resounding loud warning that the world status quo (permanent interests) is shifting.
The world has started revisiting the plight of Biafrans and they have started paying positive attention. Biafra's case is so clear cut easy to settle that many people (detractor and non detractors) will be taken unawares.
As for Obasanjo, he's madly clutching at straws, for all is lost. Biafra is gone, already. Let him approach US govt reps. He'll find out for himself that Bush has no relevance for him. They don't operate on sentiments, only permanent interests. I tell you, don't waste your energy for 2003 Nigerian election. Biafrans would have already had their nation up and running, by then. Let Bature and Bababoyz people deal with their Nigerian shame and headache.

Yes sister Amanda My Biafra and the promise land is looking more real every day. I feel it in my bone I can touch it. May actualization may not be too far.

Aremu was on his last legs when he tried to wrest power from mad sani. The North deliberately foistered him on the people knowing that he was ill prepared to even govern the pigs in his stolen farm. The chap is confused and I don't want the oyibo people to put him out of his misery. Let him stay there and suffer. Yeye man!

That Obasanjo can today parade himself as leader in Nigeria is indeed a source of shame and sadness in Nigeria. To be candid the 1999 election was a mistake. Falae was the right man given the clamour for a yoruba president to assuage the distress of the SW following the maltreatment of Abiola. Falae would definitely have given a better representation of the yourba race than the unfortunate images created by Obasanjo (Go to hell, Biafra was due to resource control, canning of security man, mishandling of the economy and falling value of the naira, dictatorial tendencies, fighting Okadigbo, Naaba and the NA, now fighting the governors in the resource control battle ... and other nightmarish mis-steps).
Now compare his attitude to even his deputy (Atiku) a thorough-bred civilian. See Atiku's latest statement in Anambra Vanguard then you see that the difference is clear. Obasanjo's statements evoke hatred and disunity, whereas Atiku's invites love, empathy and brotherhood.

Well the North knew what they were doing when they hoist Obasanjo on Nigerians. They knew he will fail woefully and that will make people yawn for the return of Northern clique. It is a shame that Obasanjo is a president without any formal education. I laugh when I hear some people call Obasanjo an Engineer. can anybody please tell me what college or University Obasanjo earned his engineering degree from.

Umu Biafra, Twenty two years from now, the Biafrans will be the world's super power, economically, technologically, militarily, spiritually, and culturally. The US as we know it, is going down the slippery path caused y self destruction, just like the Roman empire. By 2023, its downfall will have taken place. The signs of such times are already here.
As it is, China has dug her feet in at her beligerent/hawkish refusal to hand over the US spy plane that she shot down. Nothing is looking favorable to US anymore. Check this out. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday May 8 4:12 AM ET U.S. Loses Seat on U.N. Committee
By DAFNA LINZER, Associated Press Writer
UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The United States has lost its seat on an international drug monitoring body in an embarrassing blow to the nation's worldwide clout that came on the same day it was voted off the U.N. Human Rights Commission.
American representative Herbert Okun was voted off the International Narcotics Control Board after two terms in a secret ballot procedure last week, U.S. officials confirmed Monday.
The United States had campaigned for a third term for Okun, who was on the board since 1992. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher called his ouster ``very regrettable.''
Okun was voted off Thursday by the same countries that cost the United States its seat on the human rights commission in another vote the same day.
Speaking in Washington, Boucher said the United States would continue its ``strong support'' for U.N. anti-drug programs despite its ouster from the 13-member board that monitors compliance with U.N. drug conventions on substance abuse and illegal trafficking.
Seven countries - Iran, Brazil, India, Peru, France, Netherlands and Austria - were elected to the board Thursday. China, Russia, Nigeria, Turkey, Mexico and Chile complete their current terms in 2005.
Boucher would not speculate as to why Okun lost re-election but, coupled with the loss of the human rights seat, he said ``there's something happening out there.''
``Clearly, I think it's fair to speculate there may be issues related to how we handled ourselves, to how we position,'' he said.
The 54-member U.N. Economic and Social Council, the main U.N. body responsible for economic and social issues, cast secret ballots that led to the U.S. ouster from the narcotics board and the Human Rights Commission.
The human rights vote spurred calls by some U.S. lawmakers to withhold $582 million in back dues for the United Nations (news - web sites) and $67 million to rejoin UNESCO (news - web sites) 17 years after the United States left over concerns about political polarization.
Former U.S. drug policy director Barry McCaffrey said another strike at the United States could ``add to the sentiment in Congress that would say, `Why should we support regional or multinational U.N. operations?'''
McCaffrey, who used to head the Office of National Drug Control Policy, framed the vote as a sharper blow to other countries than to the United States.
``It's a great loss to the international community to not have us in a leadership position,'' her said. ``We play a dominant role in the research and development of drug treatment programs in the world.''
In the corridors at the United Nations, diplomats and U.N. officials said after the human rights defeat that the United States didn't lobby hard enough. The absence of a U.S. ambassador to the United Nations for nearly four months has exacerbated the problem.
Many nations - including U.S. allies in Europe - are angry at the Bush administration's rejection of an international agreement to reduce global warming and its plans to push ahead with a new missile defense system.
President Bush (news - web sites) has also refused to ratify the treaty creating an international criminal court, and the U.S. Senate refused to ratify the nuclear test ban treaty.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) said Monday that ``member states, particularly those who have been very strongly supportive of the international criminal court, have been disappointed by the U.S. not coming on board.''
Critics at home have accused the Bush administration of retreating from a leading role worldwide, arguing that the United States can do more to ensure its security by participating in international organizations than by standing on the sidelines. -------------------------------------------------------------------
So Aremu will (hopelessly) find out soon enough that his master (US) is not in the mood for his head patting visit. They are getting bewildered as they helplessly watch the hegemonic power tools being extricated from their heavy but sticky fingers, one by one. As such, they have no ear for their used up and incompetent errand boy.

"I say, let aremu enjoy this trip it is his last"
Amen!!!!!!!

Culled from the nigerian Guardian of 6/7/05.
Big doodoo? The man is literally a doodoo, very unkempt. His lack of basic hygiene that was taught in elementary schools of the yore is something his admirers are yet to observe. A close attention to this guy’s leprous right finger will show what he was doing, removing some doodoo from his nostrils. Any reason this banana republic president always spreads disease with his careless nose digging in public? Where’s that Kleenex boy that throws it away for free on BNW, could he pass some to this village man? Sometimes ago during his early visits to the U.S., he committed the same blunder in the presence of a U.S. republican senator who said to him thus; “hey, hey, hey watch out, what’s that!”

That'll be in the year 2021. Since the natural resources found in East Nigeria will last for another fourty to fifty years, East Nigeria will continue to be where it's always been: DOWN IN THE DIRTY STINKING GUTTER NEXT TO RATS, EXCREMENTS AND COCKROACHES!

That picture of the intellectually deficient, moronically retarded thief is the picture of YOUR president, mebiafran. He is YOUR president who democratically rigged and won the elections.
So stop making a fool of him, and give him all the respect due unto him, will you?
If you look closely, you'll realize that he wasn't messing around in his nose with his forefinger. He was merely lifting up or adjusting his glasses. Check the picture again.

I don't know what Mr(s). Alchemist was trying to prove with those pictures. Obasanjo was clearly picking and digging for booger in his nose. The enlarged picture by Alchemist shows no proximity between the Yoruba monron's hand(s) and the glasses he was wearing.
Here is another crude "leader" who routinely picks his nose. Posts: 365 | Registered: Mar 2001

You can clearly see the tip and fingernail part of the moron's forfinger of his right hand. The tip and fingernail part are alway lighter than the rest of the dark-skinned body. The tip therefore is clearly ca. 4-5 cm from his face. It is the dark line from the white wall at the back of the moron's right side which creates the impression of his finger being in his nose. However, the finger is not in the nose! People with glasses always adjust the position of their glasses by lifting it up, especially when you've got cheap screwed up glasses.

Obasanjo and Bush are busted! They're both public nose-diggers. What do they do with those presidential boogers after they dig 'em out? Perhaps Fani Kayode can shed some light on this mystery.

Ok, ok the attempt to fool us to accept the eye glasses cock and bull might seem probable, NOT! Is the curved finger above about to bend his eye glasses or look like some returning from a trip to the wide and out of shape nose? How about the picture below courtesy of Ochiwar? Could allusion to the gorilla be made? Prejudice or joke apart, the dude has gone beyond ugliness it's now a health issue, the doctor treating his malaria ailment should also heal this. With nose that wide, a payloader is needed to shovel some dirt outta there.

Reporter: Sir, when you use words like "gorilla, ugly, dirt and prejudice" while referring to a black african man, are you not confirming white racist doctrines about black people, which say that black people are monkeys, black people are ugly and dirty? Could you please explain yourself?
Mebiafran: I have nothing to explain to anybody, little one. How dare you talk to me like this! Do you know who I am?
Reporter: Sir, I was just....
Mebiafran: Shut up your dirty mouth, you imbecile. You were not even planned talk less of being born when we fought for our freedom. Now get out of my sight.

Mebiafran, you are using glasses yourself, so don't pretend as if you do not know that re-adjustment of glasses has become a natural reflex for four-eyed wearers of glasses.
Look the picture well, stooopid, and realize that the moron's finger isn't crooked, it's the darn dark line from the white wall behind the moron that you are mistaking for a crooked finger.
Stop disrespecting the nigerian orangutan illiterate president. A man in his position and power cannot afford to stick his finger in his nose in public!

One more time, what happened to originality? Obviously, you have affirmed what we continuously say; we, the Igbo, lead then your kind follows. alichemical with his leprous fingers typed;
