THE TRANSFORMATION OF DONALD TRUMP AND THE NEW AMERICAN ERA

0

It always amuses me when Nigerian Americans assume they know best about events in America. Let me assure them that there are many learned Nigerians, especially those who have also experienced the US, that  know as much as you do.

In my own case, I know America well, but I am both a British and Nigerian Citizen.  I am fully aware of American History, Politics and Government. American History was one of my best subjects in school, as were British and West African history, but I chose to finally settle in the UK.

Now, let me predict the events that are going to happen in America, before and after Trump is sworn in, in January 2021.

First, note that States have not signed off the elections, and until they do so in all States, the Media and Biden claims to be President-Elect is only a confidence trick, designed to put pressure on Trump to back down. If you know anything about Trump, you would know that is like waving a red flag to a Bull.

The cases launched by Rudi Gulliani, Trump’ lawyer, at the Supreme Court will expose the massive irregularities and outright polling frauds perpetrated by the Democrats.

Some votes that cannot be accounted for will be cancelled. Some that were late will also be cancelled and/or recounted, and those will mostly be from Biden. Trump will win those States.  In States were evidence has been destroyed, fresh elections will be ordered in specific counties or across the entire State. Trump will win outright.

Now there is something you may not realise or may have forgotten about America. It is encapsulated in my language of Igbo: “Ana enwe Obodo enwe.” In other words, there are those who truly own the land. When they flex their muscles, you will truly know who owns the land.

The true owners of America, whether morally right or wrong are the WASPs – White Anglo-Saxon America. In their minds, whether right or wrong, their grand parents captured and tamed America.  This election that has tried to destroy for them, the dream of recovering their land and values, will be for them, the straw that broke the Camel’s back.

In their eyes, whether morally right or wrong, they have shared their land with strangers, they have given them rights, and now they want to take back their lands and reinstate the values they cherish – a Christian land that upholds family values, rejects abortion, homosexual supremacy and the joy of calling Christmas by its name, but these strangers poke fingers in their eyes, mock them, call them deplorable and want to rob them of their electoral victory. You may argue all you want about American Indians being the original owners, but that would be like water of a duck’s back.

There is a saying amongst my people, the Igbo: “Onye akpakwana agu aka n’odu”,  which means, “Do not touch the tail of the leopard”.  White America is the silent majority and White America is angry. Donald Trump is furious at the massive insult he has received all across the world.

For Donald Trump and White America, the true conquerors of the land in the days of Might is Right, all bets are off; all pretences are off and now we shall all see raw racism and the true meaning of Might is Right.

A little diversion to illustrate.

In 1966, a group of young military men in Nigeria, led mainly by Igbo officers and a Yoruba Office, carried out a coup that killed the Sardauna of Sokoto. Then some Igbos in the North mocked them with the song “Ewu n’ebe akwa”, meaning the goat is crying. It was a mockery of the entire Muslim Northern Nigeria that they were crying like goats. Whether right or wrong, they decided to show that they were owners of the land. First 300 Igbo soldiers were killed, then 30,000 Igbos were slaughtered in the North, then they followed the Igbos into Biafra and slaughtered 3 million more.

What will be coming from White America, tge Wsps will Not be genocide but still, a a social and political Tsunami.  Never underrate the power of mockery. On the day Joe Biden declared himself President, they danced on the grave of a leopard that was not yet dead. They touched its tail and mocked him and White America and called them Supremacists and deplorables and laughed at them. I laugh too – at their whimsical foolishness.

There is yet another proverb that says, “He who laughs last, laughs best.”  Nancy Pelosi, foolishly said, “We have won the war. ” So all those skirmishes, the Russian Hoax, the lies of CNN, the fake news, the false impeachment, the derailing of a COVID package, were never about the welfare of the American people.  It was all just about winning a partisan war at the detriment of the American people. The staged battles of Black Lives Matter and Antifa have suddenly turned into street parties of mocking, manic mendacity. Unfortunately, Nancy Pelossi was wrong. The celebrants are wrong. They have not won the war, because the real war has just begun and their will be many casualties.

Donald Trump and White America, the WASPs, the Christian Majority are silently furious at the attempted removal of Donald Trump by a crooked ballot coup and now all gloves are off. They will start baying for blood, and they will not stop for many years to come till they fully assert their rights over the land, so that strangers will know that they are strangers and not landlords.

First the Supreme Courts: votes will be counted, new elections will take place and Donald Trump will be fully vindicated as the fraud is exposed. He will simply continue as POTUS.

Then the retributions. First the Heads of FBI and CIA will go for failing to act on a number of glaring criminal cases in loyalty to the Obama, Biden era. All those that participated in criminal electoral heists will be arrested.

Antifa and Black Lives Matter will rise in protest and this time the National Guards will be released to beat them into line. Violence will erupt but they will be subdued.

Then the Big Fish will follow. Hunter Biden, Hilary Clinton will be brought before Justice on criminal charges. Finally, Joe Biden himself after he has been shown to be fully involved in his son’s business and colluded with Ukraine and China to undermine American interests. Barrack Obama, who knew what was going on but turned a blind eye, will be spared as a for President.

Next, the big oligarchies and globalist brands will be broken up. Facebook, Twitter, Google  YouTube, etc would either become fully neutral platforms or true publishers that can be sued for content.

Next the Publishers. New laws against fake news and to ensure that the News Media will never ever be partisan again will come into place. All foreign investment in American media will be removed to ensure that foreigners, especially Arabs can never stake any ownership of shares of News media.

Media houses will be broken up and organisations that investigate or counter fake news will be on the rise, backed by law. News media and publishers will be broken up to be owned by American citizens and purely for the purpose of news and not propaganda or partisan commentary.

Immigration will become tighter and a lot of illegals who are not yet settled will be thrown out of the country. Greater immigration will be permitted for WASP countries and not for those people that naturally support the Democrats. Immigrants that naturally support Democrats will find it more difficult .

Within 2 years the House of Representatives will be mercilessly assaulted as they take over the majority in the Senate and in the House.

The economic war against China will escalate and China will pay a heavy price for the COVID Plandemic as countries world-wide will be forced to choose between trading with China or the US.

Finally America will be declared a Christian and Democratic nation and both Communism and Radical Islamism will be openly declared enemy ideologies and fought with the same resolute ruthlessness employed by Reagan in the defeat of Communism.

Donald Trump will be very successful with the economy, will finally defeat COVID and emerge at the other end with his status grown and his enemies vanquished.

By the time Donald Trump is through with America and the World, he would have the same respect given to great leaders like Lincoln, FDR, Kennedy and Reagan. Leaders who took their countries through extraordinary times; black America and the working class would be fully behind him.

There would be the new economic ideology of Trumpism that seeks to unite the interests of the entrepreneur and the worker, rather than divide them; that encourages a new rise of enterprise amongst all ethnic groups with the return of manufacturing; that confronts, expels and destroys totalitarian ideologies such as communism and radical Islamism, whilst upholding democracy and human rights; and which defends religious freedom and family values globally.

These crises, battles and war, manufactured by the Democrats were, at first, confusing to Donald Trump, but with this election fiasco, having been burnt in its political fire, he will transform from ordinary to extraordinary; from President to historical icon.

I have been looking for words to explain what is about to happen and I stumbled on this masterpiece by Agha Egwu.

Republicans Back Trump’s Refusal To Concede, Supporters Say Truth Will Prevail

0

Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, slammed Democrats for expecting the president to quickly concede and said he had every right to pursue legal challenges.

Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the top Republican in Congress, threw his support behind President Trump in a sharply worded speech on the Senate floor. He declared that Trump was “100 percent within his rights” to turn to the legal system to challenge the outcome and hammered Democrats for expecting the president to concede.

President Donald Trump has yet to concede the race to his Democratic rival Joe Biden and is continuing to dispute the election results.

Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, who said she was speaking in her private capacity as an advisor to the Trump campaign, told reporters: She cited more than 130 affidavits filed in Michigan alone, as an example of the irregularities.

She also said there were reports of thousands of votes cast in Nevada from people who were not eligible.

NNPC To Commence Oil Explorations In Lake Chad Basin

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has announced plans to commence oil exploration in the Lake Chad Basin of Borno State Northern Nigeria.

According to NNPC, the commencement was facilitated with the restoration of relative peace in the basin by Nigerian Army.

Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timiprye Sylva, disclosed this, after meeting with the Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai, and Commander of Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), Major-Gen. Ibrahim Yusuf, at Maimalari Cantonment, Maiduguri.

The NNPC has seen a lot of prospects in the Chad Basin to commence exploration and drilling activities. That is why the Corporation is collaborating with the Army to resume oil exploration.”

He said the collaboration will ensure that security is being provided for oil exploration and drilling activities to commence very soon in the Basin.

While commending the Army restore peace, Sylva said: “The Army has done a great job. They continue to perform in the Northeast. We wanted to commence exploration and drilling activities there, because we believe that the relative peace in this area is enough for us to continue drilling activities in the northeast.

He added “As you may well know, we have found oil in Gombe State, and we believe that there is a lot of oil to be found in Chad Basin.” 

Former Central African Republic Leader, François Bozize to run in upcoming presidential election

0

The party of Francois Bozize, the Central African Republic’s ex-president who was toppled in a 2013 coup, has announced that the former president on Monday filed papers to stand in the country’s imminent presidential elections.

Despite the fact that the landlocked country has remained under the control of the armed group, the Seleka since his ousting, the vote is expected to go ahead on December 27.

They could threaten the security of the myriad candidates as well as voters in the predominantly Christian country. The 2013 coup sparked brutal inter-ethnic violence between the Seleka and so-called “anti-Balaka” self-defense forces, mainly Christian and animist.

Despite Bozize’s ousting in 2013, he has however remained highly influential and his affiliations with the anti-Balaka have given him a large electoral base which could possibly pose a threat to the current president, Faustine Archangel Touadera who was elected in 2016.

Placed under UN sanctions for his presumed role in the 2013-14 crisis, Bozize slipped home after seven years in exile in Uganda, making his first public appearance in December 2019. He announced his intention to run in July.

Voter Fraud Investigation: US Postal Worker Admits Making up Allegations of Ballot Tampering

0

A Pennsylvania postal worker whose claims have been cited by top Republicans as potential evidence of widespread voting irregularities admitted to U.S. Postal Service investigators that he fabricated the allegations, according to three officials briefed on the investigation and a statement from a House congressional committee.

Follow the latest on Election 2020
Richard Hopkins’s claim that a postmaster in Erie, Pa., instructed postal workers to backdate ballots mailed after Election Day was cited by Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) in a letter to the Justice Department calling for a federal investigation. Attorney General William P. Barr subsequently authorized federal prosecutors to open probes into credible allegations of voting irregularities and fraud before results are certified, a reversal of long-standing Justice Department policy.

But on Monday, Hopkins, 32, told investigators from the U.S. Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General that the allegations were not true, and he signed an affidavit recanting his claims, according to officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee tweeted late Tuesday that the “whistleblower completely RECANTED.”

Hopkins did not respond to messages from The Washington Post seeking comment through his social media accounts, family members and phone messages earlier this week. But in a YouTube video he posted Tuesday night, he denied recanting. “I’m here to say I did not recant my statements. That did not happen,” he said.

The reversal to investigators comes as Trump has refused to concede to President-elect Joe Biden (D), citing unproven allegations about widespread voter fraud in an attempt to swing the results in his favor. Republicans held up Hopkins’s claims as among the most credible because he signed an affidavit swearing that he overheard a supervisor instructing colleagues to backdate ballots mailed after Nov. 3.

The Trump campaign provided that affidavit to Graham, who in turn asked the Justice Department and FBI to launch an investigation.

The Trump campaign also cited reports of the allegation in a federal lawsuit filed Monday against Pennsylvania election officials that seeks to prevent them from certifying the states’ election results.

Tim Murtaugh, a Trump campaign spokesman, said Hopkins’s allegations are just a small part of the campaign’s assertions in the Pennsylvania lawsuit, adding, “We don’t know what kind of pressure he has been under since he publicly made those statements.”

The Justice Department and Graham did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday.

The Erie postmaster, Rob Weisenbach, called the allegations “100% false” in a Facebook post and said they were made “by an employee that was recently disciplined multiple times.”

“The Erie Post Office did not back date any ballots,” Weisenbach wrote.

The Postal Service inspector general’s office informed members of Congress in a briefing on Tuesday that Hopkins had recanted his allegations, according to a congressional aide. The investigators first interviewed Hopkins on Friday, the aide said.

Hopkins’s allegations, without his name, were first aired last week by Project Veritas, an organization that uses deceptive tactics to expose what it says is bias and corruption in the mainstream media. Hopkins agreed to attach his name to the allegations late last week. He was instantly celebrated by Trump supporters.

Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe on Saturday hailed Hopkins as “an American hero” on Twitter. A GoFundMe page created under Hopkins’s name had raised more than $136,000 by Tuesday evening, with donors praising him as a patriot and whistleblower. The fundraising page was removed by GoFundMe after this story was published Tuesday, a spokesman for the platform said.

“Your donations are going to help me in the case I am wrongfully terminated from my job or I am forced into resigning due to ostrizization [sic] by my co-workers,” the page states. “It will help me get a new start in a place I feel safe and help me with child support until I am able to get settled and get a job.”

JUST IN: Oyo College Of Education Shuts Down Indefinitely

0

Oyo State College of Education, Lanlate, has shut down indefinitely over the non-stop crisis between the Students Union of the institution and the management led by the Provost, Dr. Jospeh Adeagbo.

The Students Union’s President, Olaitan Muhammad, said the college had been shut down by the Governing Council.

Students were said to have embarked on protests over the alleged failure of the college to produce identity cards for students despite collecting money from them.

But the management of the school in a statement by the Public Relations Officer of the college, Adeniyi Jolaoso, said academic and social activities were going on well at the college before the students suddenly embarked on a protest on November 5.

The management claimed in the statement that staff unions sponsored the students to cause catastrophe.

The management also debunked all allegations against it, the provost, and the DSA.

The statement read, “The college management wishes to assure that it charges one of the lowest school fees in the country, in consonance with the directive of the Governor Seyi Makinde-led administration and payment of all fees is made into the Treasury Single Account (TSA) of the Oyo State Government.

“So, there are no outrageous fees charged by the college. Any demand for any payment other than that into the Treasury Single Account should be reported immediately.

“Students are also encouraged to pick up their ID cards that have been lying down ready for collection at the Student Affairs office while those who are yet to undertake their photo capture for the student ID card should approach the schedule officer at the ICT and collect their ID card not later than one week after the capture.”

BREAKING: CBN accuses #EndSARS campaigners of terrorism

0

The Federal Government was able to freeze the accounts of 20 #EndSARS campaigners after telling a Federal High Court in Abuja that the funds in their accounts might have been linked to terrorist activities.

This is according to a written address in support of a motion ex parte filed by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The CBN had in the second week of October frozen 20 accounts and thereafter approached the court to seek an ex parte order to freeze the accounts.

In the case with suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/1384/2020, filed before Justice A. R. Mohammed, the CBN, however, made no mention of the fact that the 20 accounts were owned by persons involved in the #EndSARS protests, but told the court that the funds might have emanated from terrorist activities.

The written address read in part, “My lord, the nature of the transactions undertaken through the defendants’ accounts are of suspected terrorism financing in contravention of Section 13(1)(a)and(b) of the Terrorism (Prevention)(Amendment) Act, 2013 and Regulation 31(2)(a)and (3)(b) of the Central Bank of Nigeria Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism Regulations, 2013.”

In a supporting affidavit deposed to by one Aondowase Jacob on behalf of the CBN, it was stated that the Head of the Economic Intelligence Unit of the Governor’s Department, CBN, Joseph Omayuku, had conducted an investigation on the accounts of the defendants and other individuals and entities held with certain banks in Nigeria.

According to the affidavit, the investigation showed that the owners of the accounts may have been involved in terrorist activities.

It added, “There is a grave allegation that the defendants are involved in suspected terrorism financing via their bank accounts in contravention of the provisions of extant laws and regulations. The aforesaid transactions undertaken by the defendants, using their bank accounts, can cause significant economic and security harm to the public and the Federal Republic of Nigeria if left unchecked.

“The applicant (CBN governor) is thus desirous to have the court empower him to direct the freezing of the 20 accounts listed on the annexure to this application and all other bank accounts held by the defendants.

“A freezing order of this honourable court in respect of the defendants’ accounts would also enable the investigation of the activities of the defendants to a logical conclusion with a view to reporting same to the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit.”

The apex bank said unless the order was granted, it would not be able to ensure that the money remained intact, while investigations were ongoing.

The 20 accounts frozen by the CBN are domiciled in Access Bank, Guaranty Trust Bank, Fidelity Bank, United Bank for Africa and Zenith Bank.

The accounts were said to have been flagged after they received money with the narration #EndSARS.

One of the frozen accounts, marked 0056412470 and domiciled in Access Bank, belongs to Bolatito Olorunrinu Oduala, an #EndSARS campaigner, who was appointed into the Lagos State judicial panel set up by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

The Super Eagles on Tuesday in Benin had their first training session in the last leg of preparations for their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Sierra Leone.

16 of the 23 invited players took part in the training.

Napoli forward Victor Osimhen was, however, missing from the training, even though it was earlier confirmed he had arrived at the team’s camp.

President of Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, had earlier on Tuesday confirmed Osimhen’s arrival, adding that he initially had some flight challenges.

“Osimhen called me two days ago complaining that an airline could not carry him because of XYZ.. and asked if he could get another ticket and I said ‘we are going to get a ticket for you’ and I am happy he has arrived.

“So, you can see the commitment of the young players to this country,” he said.

Chidozie Awaziem, Kelechi Iheanacho and Emmanuel Dennis were among the latest set of arrivals in the Benin City camp of the Super Eagles.

Those already on ground include team captain Ahmed Musa, the England-based trio of William Troost-Ekong, Alex Iwobi, Ola Aina.

Joe Aribo and Leon Balogun who both play for the Scottish side Rangers are also in.

Also In camp are goalkeepers Maduka Okoye, Sebastian Osigwe and Ikechukwu Ezenwa who was called up as a late replacement for Daniel Akpeyi.

The other players invited by coach Gernot Rohr and already in town are Kevin Akpoguma, Zaidu Sanusi, Tyronne Ebuehi, and Oghenekaro Etebo.

Etebo is returning to the team after missing the two friendly games against Tunisia and Algeria in October.

The Super Eagles take on the Leone Stars at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City on Friday before heading to Freetown for the return game on Tuesday at the Siaka Stevens Stadium.

The Governor had earlier relaxed the 24-hour indefinite curfew to run from 8:00 pm till 6:00 am daily.
