Sad! What Did Nigerian Farmers Do To Deserve This?


The one singular undeniable mission of Boko Haram has been the systematic displacement of Nigeria’s farming communities. From Benue to Borno, Boko Haram has been the murdering of our farmers and raping of their wives and daughters. We today know that there is no phony “Fulani herdsmen” massacre group; it is the same Boko Haram that has been murdering and displacing farmers across the fertile middle belt of Nigeria; mercenaries being funded by thoroughly wealthy, globally connected individuals to phase out indigenous farmers.

No surprise our billionaires say “Boko Haram carnage is not our worst problem, infrastructure is.”
Boko Haram had a standing accord with Nigerian government: leave us to do what we are paid generously to do and we will leave the south and Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. With the clamor of Nigeria’s distraught, empathetic masses, the Nigerian army momentarily took off their “kid-glove” approach (as Nigeria’s president admitted in Namibia) and struck at Boko Haram a few times, a bit more aggressively. The result was Boko Haram struck Abuja, the nation’s capital; twice in three weeks.
There is little doubt left in any Nigerians minds, that the Nations security services (army) is not interested in seeking out and eliminating Boko Haram from their well known hideouts. We have reported on this thoroughly and media reports have validated our facts. Boko Haram is to be left alone to displace the indigenous farmers of Nigeria, kill and conscript their sons and feast on their daughters. Boko Haram is so well funded; they are able to pay $3000 to charter mercenaries from neighboring countries as a BBC report revealed.

Nigeria is progressively facing food shortage and famine as our local production nears a nadir. While this is happening, the Nigerian government is romancing globalist agriculture giants to force modified seeds and products on Nigeria’s farmers. Nigeria’s billionaires who partner the globalists are aggressively purchasing land from displaced and forcibly displaced individuals across the country. Senator Zanna representing Borno said on SaharaReporters Saturday, that up to 80,000 people have been killed and an entire generation of farmers are no more. He said the villages of the north are bare. There is no one left there anymore. Alhaji Amadu, the village head of Yar Galadima, a recently affected community in Zamfara, said the same thing to WeeklyTrust, April, that he has almost no one left to preside over. Lands are being left bare and available for cheap confiscation.

There is a lot to be discussed here and a lot to be suspected when regarding new globalist laws on the possession of the people’s land by the government and corporate organizations who believe “they know how to use the land better than the indigenous populations.” These new globalist laws are not only being implemented in Africa, but also in western societies where the government repossesses land of farmers who “don’t know how best to use it,” as the laws claim. “Carbon credits” is another such globalist programme that claims indigenous lands.

When there is a systematic displacement of people from any piece of land in the world, the right question to ask is—what is the value of that land? Is the resource under the surface or is the land the valuable resource being sought with the organized, deliberate displacement? Have we asked these questions?

But the time for asking questions is over. The time for pointing fingers and blaming local and international players is long gone. We are no longer asking any questions here. We have watched way too many pogroms in Nigeria. The curse of the dead is upon us. We have watched this pogrom of our brothers, Muslim, Christian and other, in the north for too many years already. The time has come for action; to defend our people and protect and preserve their lives.

What have the farmers of the north done? Who have they ever offended? Have they ever wielded power? Did they cause the Biafra war? Did they embezzle our wealth? Did they divide-up our oil blocks among themselves? These communities have done nothing and gained next to nothing from the Nigerian equation. Why should they deserve this annihilation and destruction of their seed—not planting-seed—but children-seed?

Hundreds of thousands of us are ready to go and fight to defend our parents, brothers, sisters and children in the affected parts. From Niger Delta, to Calabar; from Nasarawa to Borno, we are ready. Boko Haram has run its course. We have come to terms with the reality that the Nigerian army will do nothing to check this problem. These globalists, the insensitive cabal and our local and federal leaders do not value life over profit; in fact they posit ethnic population control by uncanny means.

Time For A New Approach
We have sent a request to the president of Nigeria, for executive authorization to arm and engage the terrorists in whatever jungle or cave they may be [Request: http://ends.ng/?p=864]. Civilian defense is the method neighboring Algeria used to check a similar Boko Haram-like menace during its 1991-1999 “Black decade.” Armed civilians guard the borders of the United States and are “Black water” hundreds of thousands of paramilitary forces. Dane gun armed civilians already defend communities in Borno. The role of armed responsible civilians (Groups for Legitimate Defense, GLD), in abating terror is undisputed and can no longer be denied or suppressed. 

From north to south, we have armies of youth volunteers on stand-by and some already relocating to Borno to engage and destroy Boko Haram and restore life to our farmers across the nation. If this request is not hastily approved, we will forward the same request to the local and state leaders in the affected areas. If they too do not act responsibly and approve the request urgently, we will take the request to the court of the masses; and with their approval, we will commence action to defend the integrity of the lives of Nigerians as we swear in our pledge.

Our hearts and heavy, but so also is our resolve. We have prayed, and we have all cried enough, it is time for action.

Star Actress Mercy Johnson writes on missing school girls


The star actress writes on the missing Chibok girls. Find her article below...
Sometimes, our realities remind us of the pain of others. My reality as a mother is that I get to see my daughter every day, while the reality of the mothers of the kidnapped 234 Chibok girls is that they don’t even know where their daughters are.
I looked at my daughter and tears came to my eyes that some mothers have the privileges of seeing their kids on a daily basis while the mothers of the kidnapped girls can only console themselves with memories. Continue...
All well-meaning Nigerians must come together and help these mothers who have been in pain for more than two weeks and make the memory a reality — the reality of seeing their children again. Let us not for once think that the evil-doers who turn the realities of these mothers to memories cannot do the same to us if they have the opportunities.

This is not a war against select group of people; it is a war against all well-meaning mothers in Nigeria as injustice to one is injustice to all. Let the mothers rise, the men who love them should stand by their right hand and the children who adore them on their left and do all we can in our spheres of influence to ensure that the children come back home safe so that the mothers can smile again.

Can you pray? Increase the tempo of your prayers. Can you fast? Add extra days to it. If what you can do is protest, please do; perhaps you are a soldier and can go to the war front please do not sit still. You are a politician or a voice that Boko Haram can listen to, please speak.

We need the girls back!!! They are innocent, they have their future ahead of them, please do not cut it short. I dare say some of them will end up being the solution we desire to restore the lost and battered glory of this nation. Please don’t kill or damage the future all in the name of militancy.

I appeal to the soldiers and other security operatives, don’t be demoralised, please fight hard, fight more and fight on. Do not let this evil people for once think that they can get away with this. If they ever get away with this, let me assure you that we won’t all be able to sleep with our eyes closed and that includes you, your wives and children. If an Emir can be killed in his palace, who is safe in his or her home? Nobody!

I appeal to the political class and those in power, do not think that any right-thinking Nigerian would allow that this matter be swept under the carpet, this isn’t one of the matters we would keep mum about. We will continue talking, praying, protesting until you make the matter your matter. If your child were one of the children that was abducted, we would probably have heard of the end of the matter. Let’s not fold our arms and let evil reign.

Nigeria shall be great, only if we do the right thing and the right thing at this moment is to bring our girls back and alive.

I Do Not Mind Being Shot, I Will Lead Protest To Chibok - Patience Jonathan




The first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has promised to stage a protest march to Chibok, Borno State, if the abducted schoolgirls were not released.
According to her, a committee will be inaugurated to include wives of all relevant stakeholders at a meeting scheduled for May 4.

She said that refusal of any of such relevant stakeholders to be contacted for the meeting would also lead to a mass protest.
“I cannot perpetuate hearsay and rumour; I must have facts to tell the international community.
“We will set up a committee to seek the truth as women.
“If any of those we call refuse to come, we will take the protest to Chibok.
“I do not mind being shot as long as they return our girls to us safely, we are tired of the kidnapping,” she said.

Nigerian Woman Who Gave Birth At 36,000ft Aboard British Airways Plane Pictured




A British Airways flight from Abuja to London has had to make an emergency landing on the Spanish island of Palme de Mallorce, after a Nigerian woman, Mrs Ujunwa Eneh Ozeh who was only 26 weeks pregnant went into labour at 36,000 feet while flying to London Heathrow gave birth in business class.


According to Mail Online, the pilot of the British Airways flight was forced to make an emergency landing in Palme de Mallorce, in the Balearic Islands, where the mother and baby, who has been called Michael, were rushed to the island’s Son Espases hospital.

While Mrs Ozeh will be discharged on Monday, Michael is currently in the intensive care unit and will remain in hospital until August, around his original due date, so he can develop properly. Mrs Ozeh said: 

‘I don’t have any other option than to stay here on the island. My baby needs me to just hang in there for him until it is safe for him to come home with me.’
The mother-of-two was travelling with her one-year-old daughter Nnedinma and was planning to catch a connecting flight from London to Washington, USA, where she was taking the little girl for vacation.

Nnedinma was born in the United States but Mrs Ozeh is insistent she was not returning to the USA to have Micheal. She said: 

‘I was going for the summer, Michael was not due until August, there is no way I would be able to stay in the United States until August. I had a return ticket to Nigeria booked for May 28, so I intended to stay for a few weeks and then go home.’

When her water broke, fellow passengers alerted the cabin crew who put out a call for doctors over the intercom. A female doctor, currently unidentified, was onboard and able to oversee the birth with the help of flight crew, who are trained in birthing procedures.

Mrs Ozeh said: ‘I just wasn’t thinking that I could be in labour, I couldn’t imagine it. When the doctor told me that the baby was coming I went into total shock, I can’t really remember, I wasn’t able to think clearly.’

Once the plane had touched down, mother and baby were raced to hospital where they are stable.

Mrs Ozeh said: ‘I am fine and healthy and the doctor said that Michael is doing pretty well, that it’s looking good and he is trying to survive.’

Her husband, Kaycee Ozeh, a local businessman in Nigeria, is now scurrying to get a visa so he can travel to be with his wife and children. Mrs Ozeh said she had never thought the baby would come so early, or would not have attempted travelling.

Monalisa Chinda's Boyfriend Dumps Her and Puts Her On Blast


Few weeks after actress Monalisa Chinda "settled" with her secret lover, Lanre Nzeribe and they decided to in the interest of both parties move on, the centre can no longer hold. It seems their individual selfish agendas are a clog in the wheel of progress of their fledging magazine business.

Monalisa had to leave and sources say Mr Nzeribe has dumped her, that is she is no longer his girlfriend. The company they set up is at the receiving end. Mr Nzeribe has blasted Monalisa. But why? Find out below:
It has come to the notice of the company that a press release was made on Wednesday 16th of April 2014 to the media by one Media Wise Network concerning Monalisa Chinda, Monalisa Magazine and the chairman. 
We would like to address some of the issues raised by that press release as we do not only think it is a misrepresentation of facts but also we believe it was done in bad faith which is set out to injure the face of the company...
There was no such thing as a “professional irreconcilable differences”. Both parties never had any professional differences as the party involved had little or no idea as to how to run the business. The chairman was the major shareholder of the company. 
Also, there was no such thing as a “mutual agreement that a separation would be the best course of action”. The said Mediawise network does not work for the chairman nor represent Monalisa Magazine, nor does he have any mandate to do such. So, we are rather surprised to learn of a mutual agreement of some sort, when in truth, there was no such thing.  
“Committed time, energy and resources into the project”. We can assure you that this claim is baseless and utterly false as the chairman started the business with his resources, without a dime or contribution from Ms Monalisa Chinda, who has claimed otherwise. The only money contributed by her was the salary paid to the members of staff this January (2014) and that is nothing compared to the amount of money put in by the chairman.  
There is no such thing as a “Monalisa brand”. This is highly misleading to the public. People reading this would think Monalisa Chinda is Monalisa Magazine or that it is her name that runs the magazine, this is totally wrong. Monalisa Chinda was supposed to be the beneficiary of the magazine, a representative for the product, but she is definitely not the magazine.  
Monalisa Magazine is a registered business name owned by Purple Moments Limited. It is a registered trademark which belongs to the company and gives the company a sole right and ownership over the name to trade with. Therefore, there is no such thing as a Monalisa brand; Monalisa Chinda is different and independent of Monalisa magazine.  
With respect to her resignation, it was of her own free will. However, the timing of this purported press release relating to her resignation is suspicious as we can confirm that Ms Chinda actually resigned from the company and magazine on 14th of March 2014 and not 16th April 2014 as wrongly insinuated by the immature mind behind the orchestration of the said press release.  
Now, that all has been cleared, The Company will continue to grow and carry on its business. On this note, we proudly present to you the second edition of Monalisa. Enjoy!
