Transparency International has responded to Cameron's comments regarding Nigeria, Afghanistan and UK Summit



Read Transparency International  response 
“There is no doubt that historically, Nigeria and Afghanistan have had very high levels of corruption, and that continues to this day. But the leaders of those countries have sent strong signals that they want things to change, and the London Anti-Corruption Summit creates an opportunity for all the countries present to sign up to a new era. This affects the UK as much as other countries: we should not forget that by providing a safe haven for corrupt assets, the UK and its Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies are a big part of the world’s corruption problem.”

18 hilariously smart answers to homework done by kids

The best answer is not always the right one, as proved by these funny pictures of entirely incorrect pieces of homework.
Cheeky children have put their teachers in their place - from reminding them that 'not everyone has two legs' in a maths puzzle, to calling the science of classifying living things 'racism'.
One young know-it-all even had the nerve to tell their teacher 'you should not hit dogs' when asked to fill in the correct word on an exercise sheet. More photos after the cut

Full-scale war imminent in Niger Delta, by Joe Igbokwe



Unless senior citizens of the Niger Delta and patriots rise now to talk sense into the empty heads of the people that call themselves the Avengers and the Concerned Militant Leaders, a full-scale war is imminent in the Niger Delta, and it is going to be bloody and destructive.

I have been an active advocate and supporter of people in the Niger Delta to get a fair share of the oil resources in Nigeria found 90% in their soil. In 1999 I wrote in my Book, Heroes of Democracy that: “I cannot pretend that I do not know the level of atrocities and man’s inhumanity to man that has been going on in the oil-rich region of the Niger Delta neither have I closed my eyes to the tragic stories of the bloodbath in the region. The struggle for the liberation of the Niger Delta, which has suffered 42years of criminal neglect did not start yesterday.

Blood Cattle, By Nnimmo Bassey‎



In a situation of rising suspicions, there is need to build bridges between our peoples, build a vanguard of the oppressed against the forces of division and annihilation and ensure that the poor among us are not used as foot soldiers in a proxy war they have no business fighting.

Violent conflicts have become so pervasive in Nigeria that one could be excused to say that they threaten to become the new normal. Some years ago, no one could imagine that a Nigerian, child or adult, would become a suicide bomber. That thinking was loudly put to rest by the activities of Boko Haram, the group that erected and foisted a bomb culture on our nation. Today, the horrendous conflicts between farmers and pastoralists must not be allowed to become another normal.

Conji is a bastard! Congolese minister caught on camera masturbating

The kind of things we see or hear about are a true indication that the world is soon coming to an end. A video of a Congolese minister for Posts Telecommunications; Enock Ruberangaba Sebineza who was caught on camera stroking the proverbial monkey or rather masturbating has gone viral.

In the four minutes and 27 seconds video, Mr Enock is seen unzipping his trousers and what follows, only God knows. After he is done, he uses a white piece of cloth to wipe the cum and throws it in a dustbin and resumes work. He actually recorded the session himself proudly, no information as to how it got to the public. The video looked more like he was doing it for a lady on webcam, as he blew a kiss into the camera at a point in the video.

A FACEBOOK CHAT WITH MY FRIEND AND BROTHER ALHAJI MUKTARI SHINKAFI BY FEMI FANI-KAYODE


The following discusion took place on my facebook friends page earlier this evening. Since it is already in the public realm I took the liberty of sharing it here as well. I have known Muktari Shinkafi for the better part of 35 years. His brother Alhaji Umaru Shinkafi brought me into politics in 1989 and he was and still is my political mentor. I have notjing but the deepest respect and affection for the Shinkafi family and that remains so till today.

This conversation was prompted by the fact that I posted some grapahic pictures of the victims of the Fulani herdsmen in Agatu and Enugu. Those pictures can be seen on my friends page.
Muktari did not feel tjat it was appropiate to post the pictures and the following conversation took place between him and I on the thread. I believe that it was an interesting discussion which brought out two distinct and separate perspectives (if you like call them the northern and southern ones) to the whole herdsmen issue. Enjoy!
