The President of Concerned Nigerian Network in Diaspora Comrade James Erebuoye  has led his organisation to pass an unanimous vote of confidence on the Force Inspector General of Police, Alhaji Idris Kpotum over his professional manner of handling the security situation in Nigeria. The Diaspora Chief insisted  the Nigeria Police has improved  so much under his watch compared to the past and that there has been a commendable decrease in robbery, kidnapping, vandalism and other social vices bedeviling the country including prostitution. He said the job of monitoring security in Nigeria should not be left in the hands of Nigeria Police alone, but Nigerians have a duty to also contribute their quota. He explained that Nigerians should assist the Police in information gathering, and reconnaissance procedure to enable quick intervention. "I have lived in so many countries and that our security agencies are not magicians; those who commit crimes live with us in ou...

Israel is right now on the edge.   What with Iranians, constructing permanent military bases in Damascus, Syria, 50 kilometers to the Golan Heights in Israel, building hangers to house ballistic missiles capable of hitting all of Israel complete with UAV’s?   Surely, there is danger lurking.   Actively fanning this dirty cauldron is no other than Russia.   In no time, dangerous and more high caliber weapons will fall into the hands of Israel’s arch enemy Hezbollah, with the Iranians Revolutionary Guards also breathing down their necks.   If anything, the days to come will define the level of security and safety in the Middle-East But the Israelis are not going to wait for the worse to happen before they strike.   Whether with Russia, Iran or Hezbollah, nothing is likely to deter the Jewish people.   History records that they are most destructive when confronted with danger.   Vladimir Putin, Rouhola Khameini, Bashir Assad, Hassan Nasrallah...

Is Special Counsel Robert Mueller more powerful than the President of the United States? This question has become more pertinent judging from the death-like-grip of his probe into the presumed Russian meddling of the last American elections. The man leading the Justice Department Investigation has been on the job now for nearly nine months and he is carving a reputation for himself as a dreaded monster. So far he has charged 19 people for wrongdoing, won guilty pleas from former campaign vice-chairman as well as the  National Security Adviser and is now heading towards  a potentially charged assault on the Presidency--that may or may not engulf the White House. President Donald Trump is not amused; Yes, he has to: Mueller is dangerously encroaching on his job and now questions are being asked whether he is more powerful ? But the truth is: Mueller is protected by the all powerful constitution of the United States of America, while Donald Trump is powerless because he operates...

It is difficult what to make out of the country Nigeria.   What is even more mind boggling  is the mindset of the leadership.   Across board, there seems to be not an answer to the myriad of unpredictability that abounds everywhere.   Blackouts, fuel queues, erratic banking services, increasing costs, kidnapping, robbery and far the greater—the recent abduction of the Dapchi girls! Are we to still talk about the rampaging herdsmen who appear to have made life so cheap? Suddenly, the truth dawns on all of us: Nigeria is not for the poor but for the ruling class! Against this backdrop it seems ridiculous that politicians are still talking about 2019 election!   But, here, that seems normal - a way of life. “Nigerians cannot do anything”, you often hear leaders boast. Apparently, the only environment where the law seems applicable is when a big man is involved.   The rest are whimsically subverted – and breached. Strangely, it seems as though powerful ...

The United Nation, renowned as the foremost world’s policeman has yet to live up to that billings.   This is because across the world are turbulence and despite this, no one has been apprehended.   At the head of the recalcitrant nations is Iran whipping up tension in the Middle-East.   Russia is also another culprit.   North Korea was, but the criminal activities in Yemen, ranks more.   Now the possible question is: Could the U.N be a toothless bull dog?   They may be, judging from the manner their resolutions are being dismissed in some cases describing them as a worthless piece of paper”!   Nothing brings this assertion home more than the unbridled killings of children, women in Assad Syria with Putin watching!   If they have to be taken seriously, they have to stand up – and revive their reputation, otherwise welcome World War III.

  There is no better time to call Russia’s bluff in Syria than now.   Reason: Russia is steadily and openly arming Syria and actively supporting Iran, Hezbollah to destroy Israel.   Analysts are convinced that the ultimate goal of Russia in Syria is not the protection of Bashir Assad, but the destruction of Israel.   And there is no pretense  about this; Russia would always veto any move against these twosome at the UN without remorse, and its foreign Minister Lavrov would never mince words in condemnation of Israeli reprisal acts against any of their proxies.   With the reported setting up of Air and Naval bases in Syria and the arrival of their latest SU.57 stealth fighter bomber, the message is clear: we’re here for business! Vladimir Putin’s determination to crush the Jewish State has become so apparent like a paranoia, and few were surprised when only recently an Israeli  F. 16 Jet was downed over Northern Israel.   Despite these pro...

For too long now the world has been in fright – held spellbound by the destabilizing activities of Iran and Hezbollah.   Now they are provoking the entire middle-east with their sinister antics; they are ever so bold, spending their whole days setting traps and lining up dangerous weapons against the Jewish State!    They have become accustomed to using foul languages: “We shall soon wipe out the State of Israel”, “Israel will not exist in 25 years”. Their leader, Hassan Nasrallah has been as vocal speaking from hideouts.   According to reports, they have so far amassed no less than 150,000 rockets – all primed for the destruction of the Jewish state.   Such is the terror in the Middle-east today that no other business is more profitable than the conspiracy against the Jewish State!   But right now, the world is fed up and they are saying to them:   Start the war if you are bold!   Do your worst or – forever shut up!   Political pundits b...
