Last time I did make a post here everyone cries out aloud cuase, they have not
witness with their own eyes what goes around the third world country today. I am
writing today again, because my article was feature as one of the article of the year. I
am so happy.
People suffer for no just cuase , people suffer becuase greed has become a thing
that is neccessary among the rich and wealthy of the society. come to reason and
think of it, Nigeria for example is classed as the most richest country in the world
today and what do you see in papers and tv's and on CNN, the fourth most poorest
country or currupt Nation. People wont vote for anything or protest on behalf of
Nigerians becuase mostly it is too far away. But I dont think, and I have seen from
some others views that simply put.. as long as Nigerian Oil is been imported to
western worlds and we invite them to come and build techological outfits here in
construction and other wise. They wont say a word cuase they are been paid and
they make a lot of money here, such companies are MOBIL, Slumberger, Shell,
Shevron, Named them Germany, United Kingdom, USA, ITALY, CHINA, KOREA, and
other 1st Class countries, all comming to Africa to dig up resources and what do we
stand to gain, all we gain is bad roads, poor educational systems, diseases, scam ,
child abused , no good steady power supplies, future is obstracted, poverty stricken
nation thats what we are and everyone is looking for a way to travel out from africa.
Thats we all would scramble for DVD LOtteries by the USA government to come out
and taste a good life, just like feeding a dog with a Bone, Thanks nevertheless it
helps isnt this so? tell me.
The truth is every one that comes out with a theory we would support the community
and help the youths. The truth is they have done nothing. The simple things
neccessary for everyone in a country is availability of work, good roads, steady
power supply, food, clothes, shelter, education, and medical treatment.
These are what these companies have promised the Community that owns these
resources, but what do we get from them, oil spillage and not care at all, recently
Shell OIl experience a spillage in a community that has oil in Nigeria the entire
village river wiped out, no more land for food, and there were not even a single road
for driving in, it took more than two weeks for government to attend these poor
poeple and they are suffering and crying and when they were interview we found out
that they did not even get a good education. Look if you guys were to come to the
Niger Delta Region in Nigeria that has these resources that is serving the western
world today, you will see the real picture of what is going on here. Instead of the
youth been long after you find out that the Majority which are not from these
community becuase they have guns and support of the 1st Class world powers they
victimized these poor people and get heavy bank accounts in overseas countries.
These Foreign Investors would promise scholarship to the youths and at the end of
the day they will end up training just 250 youths in local institutions that is not even
compare to a standard university in the world, if at all they would even give
scholarships for you to attend overseas institution, they do what is know as MAN
KOWN MAN, if you dont know they big shots in town your no way close to that
schlarship, even if you like write a 20 letters appeal and post to their trust funds it
would find itself into the waste paper basket.
I want to say somehing every important here have you ever seen an institution
where you see 100 student sitting on 20 benches and it is called a UNIVERSITY,
you would see these African Countries, we pay so big money for Education and
what we get a poverty stricken Institution, who cares as long as you earn a degree
and come out as a student. Tell me what would an average african think after been
passed through these level of maltreatment by people you vote into power? they
called it Politics. You see our president would Visit bush shake hands and luagh,
For example Our president out of the eight years in Office he spent 367 Days touring
the world, is that not a world Record for a President to spent entirely one whole year
visiting other peoples countries talking technology without handling the real
problems in the scoiety where he is the President?
Dont look at the Picture you see painted in papers and on screen, no dont look at
that, or dont even look at missionaries or NGO talking to you, is all a lie, when these
poeple come here, they provide them with a few people that look need and tidy and
when they go back all they see is wow this peoples are rich and living healthy. I am
not doubting that we are not rich, but whats is the point if 1000 people are rich and
2.5 Million are in Poverty? Tell me?
An accident occurred in Nigeria a few months backward, when the Niger Delta Youth Arrested some Bristish and American Citizen working in these Foreign Estalblishement ( ie SHELL), they took them into the dense world where these community existed and showed them what they have been doing to these community when some of them were relased they promise Nigerian Givernment that they would never come back here to work except the Government developed these Niger Delta Regions to a good standard. But that what they always say, yeah I am right, cuase their companies would never leave Nigerian since they MOBIL, and SHELL are making so much interest from our Oil and all is been taken to USA or UK.
So tell me why would the western world intervened when themselves are making interest from these poor striven community? Tell Me?
Let me take you back to some event that occured last year 2005, it was title MAKE POVERTY AN HISTORY IN AFRICA? Yes you all knew about it and event contributed towards the success of this exercise.
Okay let me ask some question here. If Nigerian or Five African countries sees 50 Billion Dollars , what do think would happened to such a Nation? Look Money from Charities dont come here, they are liars, if it does at all, out of 10 million Children they would take care of only 18 student thats all, and what they care most most is paying their Volunteers to Feed well and still from this Money that was riase? do you guys really know what it means to do Charity? to help a poor stricken Nation? AFRICA?
I know if a Government official in my country comes here to read this article at once I would be thrown into the Prison and maybe Killed, do you guys know how many writers are imprisoned in Nigeria and other African Countries? Ken Saroviwa Was killed by hanging becuase he could not let the Government to go on wasting our resources? He was from the Oil Rich State where SHELL is Operating and this SHELL did nothing about it?
Do you know that after I read about the MAKE POVERTY AN HISTORY IN AFRICA, Since I am a member of the Christian Aid Organisation I went there and Post an Article and Truly No One replied to it? Here is the Article, Cuase that was the truth? Yeah Read the article here, that I pasted in Christian Aid Organisation Forum:
CHRISTIAN ADIS BE SINCERE
DEAR ALL
AFTER TALKING TO ALOT OF PEOPLE ON NGO'S AND CHARITY NETWORKS, I REALISED THAT WE ALL HAVE BAD SIDES ON WHY POVERTY WOULD BECOMES PART OF US HERE IN AFRICA AND THE WORLD AS A WHOLE. I HAVE TRIED ON MANY ORAGNISATION TO WORK WITH CHRISTIAN NOT AS AN ONLINE MEMBER BUT AS A REAL VOLUNTEER AND WORKER, BUT MY REPLIES I GOT WAS AM NOT IN THE UK. IF I AM GOING TO WORK WITH YOU FROM AFRICA . I PRESUME THAT WOULD BE A VERY NICE BREAK THROUGH AS YOU WOULD KNOW AND SEE PEOPLE AND SOMEONE THAT CAN TELL HIS PROBLEM ON A MOUTH TO MOUTH BASIS. I HAVE SEEN THAT MONEY AND DONATIONS HAS BEEN MADE EVERYDAY FOR POOR CONTRIES BUT I HAVE SEEN AND KNOWN THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE WITH THIS LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY. COME TO THINK ABOUT IT, MAKE POVERTY AN HISTORY...... AFRICANS IN GENERAL ARE STILL POOR? WHY BECUASE THE NGO'S INVOLEVE ARE BETTER OFF WITH THE MONEY RATHER THAN SEE TO THESE POOR PEOPLE, I AM NOT SAYING THAT THEY ARE SITTING HAND TIGHT. BUT IF YOU HAVE 50,000.00 USA DOLLARS, I KNOW WHAT THE EXCHANGE RATE IS AND WHAT IT CAN DO FOR WE AFRICAN COUNTRIES, THAT AMOUNT ALONE CAN EDUCATE ABOUT 50,000.00 POEPLE IN SCHOOLS, THEN IF WE HAVE ANOTHER 50,000.00 US DOLLARS THAT AGAIN WOULD BE FEED 50,000.00 AFRICANS FOR A WHOLE YEAR.
WE HERE KNOW THE EXCHANGE RATE. POUNDS IS MORE FAR GREATER THAN NAIRA AND BETTER THAN DOLLARS. I HAVE SIT AND WONDER WHY THESE SAME PEOPLE WOULD NOW DONATES IN MILLIONS YET THE ARE CRYING EVERY DAY DONATE AND COME TO THINK OF IT, I AM HERE AND I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY IMPACT FROM THESE SO CALL NGO'S. EVERYONE IS BUSY ABOUT A FEW THEY KNOW? CHARITY IS NOT MEANT TO HELP THOSE YOU KNOW BUT TO CUT ACROSS THOSE YOU DONT KNOW.
I WAS DIRECTED BY A FRIEND TO TALK TO A COMPANY THAT GIVES OUT COMPUTERS FREE TO AFRICAN COUNTRIES AND I WAS SURPRISE THAT HE SAID SUCH A THING, CUASE I HAVE GROWN TO KNOW THAT NUTHING IS FREE, AFTER CONTACTING THESE PEOPLE , I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO SOMEONE IN THE UK BEFORE I CAN EVEN START PAYING HALF THAT FEES TO THE COMPANY. WELL COME TO THING OF IT. YOU WANT TO RUN A PROGRAM FOR THE POOR AND YOU ARE MAKING IT SO DIFFICULT FOR THE POOR TO SEE WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO GET, HOW COME YOU SAID THAT YOU ARE MAKING AND NGO FOR THE POOR HERE.
I WOULD WANT A SIT UP WITH ALL CHARITY ORGANISATIONSA AND KNOW WHICH ONES ARE GOOD AND WHICH GOOD ONES WE EVEN CAN BOAST OF.
POVERTY IS NOT DRINKING GOOD WATER.. POVERTY IS A STATE OF MIND, CHANGE THE PEOPLE MENTALITY CHANGE THEIR WAY OF LIFE AND LETS SEE IF EVERYONE WONT WORK AND EARN A LIVING.. GIVING SOMEONE FOOD AND NOT GIVING HIM WORK TO DO IS A WAY FOR YOU TO KEEP RUNNING AROUND EVERY HERE ASKING FOR DONATION TO KEEP FEEDING THAT SAME PERSON NOT EVERYONE THAT IS POOR NOTE THIS.
THANKS
===============================================================
LISTEN YOU ALL " I BELIEVE IN THIS IDEALOGY, DONT TELL THE WORLD WHAT YOU WOULD DO FOR US THESE POOR AND DISEASES STRICKEN NATION, BUT ALLOW THE WORLD TO SEE FOR ITSELF WHAT WOULD BECOME OF US" SO YOUR WORK WOULD BE MANISFEST AT THE END TO SHOW YOUR FRUITS.
if you think am lying, about this Look around every Top Government Offcials sends out His or Her Children to Study Overseas, buying Houses Overseas, actaully the 1st Class Government are Happy about this at least they are Investing in Our Economic bringing that Money to our Country, Paying Taxes, Oh God thats a Good reason never for them to take action against them at all. No wonder every youth in Africa Wants to Leave either to Europe, Asia or America.
You can see that in the olden days Africa was even richer but now it is even poorer than before. If you dont have the interest of a common man at heart, why waste your time in going to Build Techology Houses for the people, when you know they would all die away, becuase of no Food, No House, No Good Road, No Money for Feeding, No Amenities for Health System and what is that compare to Techology signing Trade Deals? Recentky after a long period of time, The president of my Dear Nation made a Proclamation, Please I am going to Look after the NIger Delta Region, do you know why? So that is Government can Go into Thrid Term, so that he keeps feeding the Dog with the bone and when the dog wants to bark, he throw him some meat.ahahahahahahaha. funny isnt it. So you can now tell me what we stand to gain, youths are truning in scammers, and 419 and poeple are crying, if you dont have someone in Government or oil company you guys are poor, wow, so what do you see happening in Africa? Either you have someone in Europe, China, Japan, Korean, or USA and UK, your family is dying as well. So what is African becoming?
For example, in Nigeria we buy fuel at the same price with those in USA, but we ar been paid less in amount when it comes to Salary? yet we are the 2nd Largest Oil Producer if not mistaken and our Crude Oil is Grade The best. Have you seen a country that export raw crude oil to another country to refine and bring it back here, only few years back where we able to refind a little of our oil and come to think of the Polution it is cuasing here for us? Africa Oh Africa, I think we all need to fight back for each other.
The keep talking about poverty but they do nothing about it, why you may ask? so they can still have what to talked about even for the next century.
