The Rohingya people need alot of prayers and Mercies from neighbouring governments

Dear readers, please I am requesting for prayers for this group of people (the Rohingya) with the hope that, the neighbouring governments would have Mercy on their existence. The Rohingya are linguistically related to the Indo-Aryan peoples of India and Bangladesh. As of 2012, about 800,000 Rohingya live in Burma. According to the United Nations, they are one of the most persecuted minorities in the world. Many Rohingya have fled to ghettos and refugee camps in neighbouring Bangladesh, and to areas along the Thai-Burma border. More than 100,000 Rohingya in Burma continue to live in camps for internally displaced persons, forbidden by authorities from leaving.

According to Human Right Watch January 2014 release, increased numbers of Rohingya, a Muslim minority that is effectively denied citizenship in Burma, have been crossing to Thailand in often-rickety boats. This has included numerous children, many of whom are unaccompanied by parents. 

Thousands of Rohingya have passed through one of at least three “trafficking camps” in southern Thailand, where some have been held for ransom or sold to fishing boats and farms as manual laborers. A high-ranking police official confirmed to journalists the existence of the camps and acknowledged an informal policy called “option two,” which relies on smuggling networks to expel Rohingya migrants, including asylum seekers, from Thailand. All prayer goes to this group of people...

Kadhafi:The real reasons behind the assasination of the ex libyan president Kadhafi...RIP

Oooohh my goodness, if this man had such a vsion for Africa, then he could only have been a target for murder; from this report, he only didnot have a vision but he made it a full mission by launching the first African satellite who was to earned us our independence from the western one. Infact, he had a political spending that was to or rather will drasctically reduce the occidential African monetary gain ; all these spending without asking anything in return. If all this is true... then où va le monde?!!!!!

The western media has its ways of turning african citizens against their own leaders; some with concrete facts and some with extream dubious reasons; not to forget, most often starting with us in the diaspora. We sit in the confort of our bedrooms and have ourselves brainwatched by media conspiracies....Sometimes I really wonder: does Democracy really exist? if so where is it anywhere ? I think it should rather be called Ambiguous-democratic sytems.

The Opportunity Cost Of Tompolo’s Private Jet By Kikiowo Ileowo

For those who haven’t heard, 43 year old ex-militant, High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo (aka Tompolo) on Monday 26th August 2013 received his Bombardier SE60 LearJet. The Jet according to aviation sources cost a whopping sum of $13.3 million (N2.12 billion).

The aim of this article is not to rubbish the person of Tompolo, [what is there to rubbish anyway] but to address inter alia; the scenarios that continue to play out in favour of his ilk, institutions and systems that perpetually endeavour to make his likes overnight celebrities. I would also analyse the opportunity cost of his latest toy.

The Man Tompolo
Tompolo was born Government Oweizide Ekpumopolo in 1970 into the family of Chief Thomas Osei Ekpempulo and Mrs Sologha Ekpemupol of Okorenkoko in Gbaramatu kingdom in Warri South-West Local Government Area of present Delta State. He attended Edah Primary School, Madagho and Kunpa Primary School, Kunukunuma before later proceeding to National Comprehensive College, Warri where he completed the SSCE in 1993.
