“Susan Rice and Al-Mustapha Got It Wrong” -Fmr DSS Assistant Director, Dennis Amachree reveals his account of how General Sani Abacha really died.

In one of the most revealing editions of #BeyondTheHeadlines, I sat down with the former DSS chief to discuss some of the best kept secrets in the DSS from most his new book, DSS @ 40: My Journey Behind the Shield.

From Abacha’s death to the Isa Pantami controversy, kidnapping as a criminal industry, political interference in intelligence, and untold stories from 35 years inside Nigeria’s intelligence community, this is a conversation packed with rare insights and remarkable revelations.

In a 1988 interview, Pablo Escobar said co*caine wasn’t the real problem...hypocrisy was.
He argued that drugs spread because of demand, just like alcohol, and that the US only saw co*caine as dangerous because Colombians controlled the trade.

“We have a confession that the media has not given appropriate attention. Kawu Baraje was a leading Chieftain of the APC & he has confessed that they imported the foreign machineries who have become bandits. How much more evidence do you need? Why is the media not following up?”

The Nigerian Police Force have rescued Adelabu's kidnapped family under 72H.

Under 3days.

46 children and their teachers, are still in captivity after 3 weeks.

If the entire workforce in Oyo state isn't occupying the streets next week - all of you are fools.

"Record me if you like, we will invoke our Lagos deities to chase you Igbo people out of Lagos. We will inherit all you Igbos in Lagos" -Remi Tinubu.

Remi Tinubu made this obnoxious shameful statement 2019. She was ordained pastor by RCCG in 2018.

SHAME.

I will never understand the point of this thought-process. You clearly weren't attracted to this man and you wouldn't be happy if you were currently married to him, so why do you care how his life is playing out?

Firstly, Ethiopia is under US sanctions while Vietnam is not. And speaking of former French colonies, Haiti was the first to get independence (1804) and is still one of the poorest countries in the world because of the debt they had to take on to gain independence (it took them until 1947 to fully repay it!). Whereas, New Caledonia is still a French colony and is neither rich nor poor.

"If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor..."

This line completely ignores the European powers' (and US) post-colonial control over Africa. Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the DRC, was tortured and killed by Belgium and the US for being a nationalist. His body was dissolved in acid so he wouldn't become a martyr. His legacy is largely unknown even within the continent. Several other such "lessons" were meted out. Google Thomas Sankara (Burkina Faso) and Sylvanus Olympio (Togo).

Once you set the example, you gain obedience. The VietCong, on the other hand, didn't surrender even though 3 million Vietnamese died during the war, and several thousand more continue to die to this day (!) from Agent Orange exposure.

As for former French colonies in Africa, France still controls their currency and holds their central bank reserves in France. As Rothschild purportedly said, "permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws."

Third, the borders in Africa were drawn in such a way that conflict was inevitable. At the Berlin Conference in 1884-85, the European powers simply carved up the continent by drawing straight line borders. African leaders were conspicuous only by their absence at this historic event which shaped the next century. This is why Cameroon, a French-speaking country, has a minority English-speaking territory, ensuring it remains destabilized. Likewise for West Asia/the Middle East, where the Sykes-Picot legacy lives on.

@magattew conflates formal colonial rule with colonial control. Vietnam managed to fully kick out both France and the US, reunified the North and the South, and kept its sovereignty. All African leaders who attempted the same have been systematically eliminated (see Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's divisive leader, for a recent example), ensuring Africa forever bears the open wounds of its colonial legacy.

But Ms. Wade is right on one thing: Vietnam owes its prosperity to overcoming colonial rule. Maybe Africa can become prosperous if Africans do the same.
