Nigeria: The Persecution of Heroes and the Patent on Terror
"We no longer honour the true heroes, we honour an illusion called power and greed.

Under normal circumstance, African leaders should have been treated this news as a very serious issue and given a critical attention by the Federal Government of Nigeria. But of course the Western mainstream media is not interested in this revelation. After all, whose interest does it serve in the West for their media to highlight that many of their so-called NGOs are indeed sponsors of terrorism in Africa?
HOW TO RUN A NIGERIAN NGO
"Everything in Nigeria is a hustle. Government, politics, religion- all a hustle. And the Nigerian god helps those who help themselves.
