blame Obasanjo for the electoral law how could he have signed the law without reading it or was it too complicated for him.he is trying to shift the blame for something he signed to turn nigeria into a dictatorship.

The common man.

Look at the much publicised banning of old car importation? this law is geared towards making the lot of the common man even worse, while the oafs who were voted into office continue to roam around in luxury vehicles.

These people must be stopped, Biafra must have laws not allowing government funds to sustain a life style higher than the average man.
" If it is bread that they want, then give them bread."

The Biafran revolution is a revolution for the people and by the people. It was an inevitability in a country where the citizens had been denigrated and denied their fundamental rights, and placed into perpetual slavery by an overclass which continued to flaunt her riches and not care about the fate of the common man.

It is a revolution which will start in Biafra, and will eventually spread throughout west africa and Nigeria.

The effects of the malaise of the society are clear: why does anyone think that there are such hardened criminals and armed robbers in nigeria? Would any man steal if there existed an honest way for him to support his family? Can anyone condemn these people who are forced by a brutal regime which has no concern for human rights, to become as the state has itself modeled for them to become?

What these armed bandits need to do is to organize themselves into an effective resistance, to effect change, and not go around marauding. An effective resistance which will demand the self determination and accountability and equal rights for all its citizens. A resistance which will stop this corrupt country and government for good.

IF EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY STANDS UP AND SAYS NO, how can this corrupt status quo continue?

Have you not heard of the peoples power in the philipines? It was the common man who lead to the ousting of Marcos and his cronies and later Estrada.

It is this people power of the southeast and the south south we are calling upon:
Stop all Nigerian electiuons in 2003. this way SHOW THE WORLD FOR ALL TO SEE THE TRUTH:

That we are being held by FORCE and not by our will.

Look at the french revolution, study this and memorise this, our situation is no different, dont wait for a saviour, we are our own saviours, dont wait for a redeemer, redeem your self, never say ever, remember as in the words of Ohafia: THE JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES BEGINS IN A SINGLE STEP"

Then, the US is pumping in $25 million to "retrain" the military machine which is already quite "effective" in wiping out our villages and executing extra judicially igbo traders by the wayside...

Now, they have come to enlighten the buffoon on the wonders of being able to feed yourself, a little point which escaped them in their MAD MAD OIL RUSH, is that man must wak.

In the end, the final analysis, Nigeria has sealed her own fate, and will wake up only too late to realise, that it was her inability to feed her peoples which led to the final death blow to this xenophobic and bigoted hierarchy.

Like the french the people are saying give uDateline: 24/01/2002 21:07:43

US to Help Boost Nigeria Agricultural Exports
From Chikas Ohadoma in Abuja

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Ambassador Howard Jeter on Tuesday restated the U.S Government's committment to strenghten Nigeria's institutional capacity for economic reform and enhance its capacity to revive the agricultural sector in Nigeria.

Jeter at the opening of a three-day Agricultural Export Summit in Abuja, the first in the series of activities designed to promote Nigerian exports, said that "the U.S Government is keenly interested in bolstering Nigeria's national economic growth new approaches to trade and investment." He said the US has committed significant resources to the objectives through programmes in agricultural technology transfer and agribusiness development.

He noted that agriculture is critical to Nigeria's economic growth and to bringing the benefits of economic prosperity to the Nigerian people.

"Nigeria was once a major agricultural exporter, and indeed was the "bread basket" of West Africa. Once again, Nigeria must be able to feed itself and contribute to regional food security. Increased Nigerian agricultural production and sales will reduce Nigeria's dependency on the oil sector and allow farmers and entrpreneurs to benefit from economic liberalization," he said.

The U.S government, he said, has provided significant new export opportunities for African products through the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).

He said that AGOA also extends duty free and quota-free access to the U.S market for over 2,000 products from Sub-Saharan Africa, over 500 of which are agricultural products.

Some of the products that fall under AGOA's rubic include dairy and livestock products, rice, soybeans and soy products, fruits, eggs, potatoes etc.

He further said that AGOA which presents a critical challenge for Nigerians to organise their business to meet the quality and quantity standards required for the U.S market will meet this challenge through the Nigerian Export Promotion project.
