Kudirat Abiola was literally driving to an Official appointment at the Canadian High Commission the morning she was Assassinated, she was actively leaking critical national information to the US and helping them build their economic sanction profile against Abacha’s government
But what did it in for me was when I read that she single handedly shutdown the Oil Economy by bankrolling and sustaining the 12 month oil workers strike, Crippling the entire Nation’s Source of revenue I instantly knew this shit was all made up
I genuinely apologize for the delay in the report because apparently the scope of our investigation is starting to cut across Ghana too where they practically used the Accra Embassy as an Espionage Hub and were caught Red handed trying to assassinate JJ Rawlings and destabilize Ghana just a few years before they destabilized and regime changed Abacha
Burkina Faso Overhauls Its Curriculum to Reclaim African History
Burkina Faso is officially overhauling its national curriculum to strip out colonial biases, replacing terms like "explorers" and "conquerors" with "invaders" and "spies" in history, geography, and citizenship textbooks.
The reform introduces 54 new lessons from primary through secondary school that drop Eurocentric benchmarks in favor of indigenous political structures, local resistance movements, and African scientific contributions.
By emphasizing that African societies existed and thrived long before European contact, this initiative plans to correct decades of distorted narratives and reclaim the continent's true history.
Nigeria at 66: Looking Back, Looking Forward
Fellow Nigerians,
Today we mark the sixty-sixth anniversary of our independence. It ought to be a day of celebration and thanksgiving to God Almighty for the gift of life and for the immense blessings He has bestowed on our nation—our diversity, our abundant human and natural resources, our vast agricultural potential, and the relative absence of devastating natural disasters.
It should also be a day of appreciation and patriotism: a day to remember our founding fathers and all those who made selfless, and in many cases supreme, sacrifices for the birth, survival and growth of our dear nation. We must acknowledge the efforts of past and present leaders who have laboured, however imperfectly, to build a better Nigeria.
Yet independence anniversaries must never be reduced to mere celebration. They are moments for honest national reflection. We must look back, examine where we stand today, and ask ourselves whether we are moving in the direction our founding fathers envisioned.
In national planning and strategy, every serious nation must continually ask three fundamental questions:
Where are we today?
Where do we want to be?
How do we get from where we are to where we want to be?
These questions are especially urgent now. Despite the enormous promises made by the APC-led government in 2023, our nation continues to face deepening challenges across virtually every critical sector of national life.
Today we stand before the world as a nation:
With an extraordinarily large population living in poverty and severe hardship; over 140M
With one of the largest populations of out-of-school children in the world; over 18M
Where insecurity, terrorism, banditry and kidnapping continue to threaten lives and livelihoods, just recently 37 young Nigerians in their productive age lost their lives
Where millions of Nigerians struggle with hunger and food insecurity; over 40M Nigerians will be in extreme hunger by the end of 2026.
With unacceptably high rates of infant and maternal mortality; Nigeria today is the worst place to be born.
Where youth unemployment and underemployment remain alarmingly high; over 35M
Where drug abuse and substance misuse increasingly threaten our young population; today 14% as against global average of 6%
Where life expectancy remains among the lowest globally, today 54 years against global average of 74 years
And the list goes on.
This reality demands serious, sober and honest reflection. Socrates taught that “the unexamined life is not worth living.” By the same principle, an unexamined nation cannot successfully chart its future. We must therefore ask ourselves: Are we cursed, or have we become the curse through the choices we have made and the failures we have tolerated?
The answer cannot be that Nigeria is cursed. We are a nation immensely endowed and blessed. Our greatest problem is not a lack of resources; it is the failure to convert our enormous resources into human development, productivity, security and shared prosperity.
Only yesterday, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and I returned from a two-day visit to Sokoto State. We held extensive consultations with people from different parts of the state on insecurity, out-of-school children, poverty, youth unemployment, drug abuse and other challenges confronting our people.
In concluding the visit, we went to the Internally Displaced Persons camp at Ramin Kura within Sokoto metropolis. What we saw was deeply troubling. Thousands of women and children live in deplorable conditions, displaced from their homes and deprived of the basic necessities of life. Many of the children have no access to education. Mothers and children have limited access to basic healthcare. These are Nigerians who should be living in their communities, going to school, farming their land, conducting their businesses and contributing to the economy. Instead, they live as displaced persons in their own country.
@Mysticln8x@Bisolaaa Omdssss stfu!!!
Bro, why do you think the so called CIA was after abacha??
Why'd you think they hate Ibrahim traore??
But they love incompetence
The likes of tinubu, Paul biya etc
They definitely had a hand in bringing down the Johnathan administration.
I have a personal relationship with at least one of them who was part of a group receiving paramilitary training from CIA trainers at a facility in a neighbouring West African country in 1996. They were being trained to launch a full scale national insurgency in Nigeria before the end of 1998, but their sponsor got to Abacha first.
Afterwards, he got a green card for services rendered, and has since left the "fighting for democracy" scene.
If they didn't assassinate Abacha when they did, they would have made sure that all these idiots would have grown up facing "Nyanya bomb blast" every week from the 90s. And surprise surprise, as soon as their handpicked puppet left office and a nationalist came into power, "UN building explosion" actually became a thing in Nigeria.
Kayode Fayemi and Wole Soyinka had direct CIA handlers. They should come out and deny it if what I'm saying is not true, so that all these long overdue conversations that have been suspended for 30 years will finally be had. The budget funding Radio Kudirat came from the same budget that funded Radio Free Asia and Radio Free Europe - USAGM/VOA.
The wrong side won in 1998 and we are all fools who have spent 28 years celebrating the death of the man who was keeping us from becoming exactly the externally controlled tub of useless nothing that we are today. The bad guys won and they are literally in power now! The fact that people are STILL fighting with their ego instead of admitting to themselves what is so obvious 3 decades later is proof that one way or another, Nigeria is destined for a mass extinction event, either at the hands of its current American owners or at the hands of whoever will fix the damn place.
There are far too many human placeholders eating our food and breathing our air in that country!
IN CONCLUSION OF MY VISIT TO SOKOTO STATE
Yesterday, 29th September, in continuation of my two-day visit to Sokoto State, I had extensive consultations and discussions with various groups from across the state on insecurity, out-of-school children, endemic poverty, youth unemployment, drug prevalence, and other issues affecting our people in this part of the country.
My final engagement was a visit to the Ramin Kura IDP Camp in Sokoto North LGA, within the Sokoto metropolis, which is currently housing over 1,000 internally displaced persons.
During my tour of the facility, I found it particularly distressing to see Nigerians crammed into makeshift shelters and thatched rooms, with some rooms housing as many as 10 persons. The camp also lacks adequate toilet facilities, a primary healthcare centre, and even a basic school for the children.
I have always insisted that as long as even one Nigerian lives in an IDP camp, we are all internally displaced. Therefore, the government of today must work assiduously to make the temporary accommodation for our dear citizens living in these camps comfortable, while ensuring that all the underlying security issues that created these conditions in the first place are resolved, to enable them to return to their ancestral homes.
This is my 12th visit to IDP camps across Nigeria, and, just like in the others, I am committing to continuously supporting these Nigerians for as long as it takes.
This is why I continue to say that the President’s and political office holders’ holidays must be within Nigeria, so that they can see first-hand the difficulties faced by these fellow Nigerians, whose vulnerability has been worsened by the failure of government to prioritise critical areas of development.
Let me seize this opportunity to again call on the government and the relevant agencies to immediately look into the plight of these citizens and address their pressing needs.
A New Nigeria is POssible and will be OK.
