What friendship can do for peace

Image
By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat Friendship has capacity to inspire peace against all anti-peace forces, no matter how long and bitter the war has been fought. This is what we have learned from Abiy Ahmed (41), the new Prime Minister of Ethiopia in his quest to end his country’s 20 years war with neighboring Eritrea. The youngest leader in Africa chose friendship, not enmity and rather than waste so much time and resources setting up peace commission to discuss possible ways of achieving peace between both countries, the Ethiopian Prime Minister created friendship with his country’s long time enemy and within weeks, their friendship metamorphosed into peace, a deal both leaders say was based on forgiving each other for past offensess’’. This is what friendship can do for peace. When I heard that 33 export larger beer is hosting an essay competition, whose theme is circled around friendship this July, i know those behind this idea are up to something unique. The idea of an essay competitio

BREATH TAKING RACIAL INJUSTICE AT THE WORLD BANK AGAINST BLACKS

Image
Few days ago, I stumbled upon a publication talking about racial injustice at the World Bank and I thought it wise to dig a little deeper to understand the crux of the matter. However, what I found was beyond believe. It was heart breaking and out rightly demoralizing and i am forced to ask, is this how endemic racial injustice takes place at the World Bank? President of Hosea Initiative, Terry Beatley wrote an open letter to the new Ethiopian Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed, calling on the youngest African leader to use his good office to seek African Union (AU) intervention in the case of one Dr. Yonas Biru an Ethiopian citizen, racially violated beyond human comprehension at the World Bank. In the letter, Terry brought together all relevant facts and evidences to back up the need for action at Africa’s continental highest body. ABOUT THE VICTIM Dr. Biru was the former Deputy Global Manager of the World Bank’s International Comparison Programme (ICP). According to the World Ban

Nigerians are political collateral by Mathias Tsado

POLITICAL COLLATERAL (1) One thing is clear to all of us, politics as it is today only cares about power and the holders. The people on the streets are nothing but political collateral, they use you to bargain and dump you once power is secured. The people are only useful during the negotiations, they count the people as votes and elections materials every 4years, once the deals are sealed and the proceeds are shared they move on and begin to plot the next scheme, the people are left with the various social challenges to complain about for another four years. The most lucrative business in Nigeria now is the political business and a lot of people have moved into that sector with expectations to hit or make it big in life. Like yahoo-yahoo and illegal drug dealers, many on the political street today are here to make ends meet and acquire that luxurious life of drug barons they see in the movies. They know nothing about the moral burden of leadership, they do not understand that

Nigeria Air took the space

Was keeping quiet but then, Nigeria Air took the space. Let’s clear some misconceptions, first there is no Nigeria Air. There is an idea, a desire and some actions to bring the idea to reality. We are still far away. What the minister showcased in UK, was a concept. It was a market test for a desire. The brand is still at infant stage. The ICRC gave a certificate to launch based on some guarantees. The FG can only invest 5% of the total sum, subject to finding investors that will put in the 95%. That is yet to happen. There has been no budget request for the 5%. The planned plane purchase is not funded. I, did not see any $300m in the budget for planes. The roadshow is to find investors. It might happen and it might not. Can we slow down on the name calling and insults? Nigeria on paper belongs to us all. One is not unpatriotic for voicing concerns. Of State owned airlines in Africa, only one is profitable. The rest are subsidised. That knowledge, makes it important that

She’s loose, really, is she loose? (POEM) By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat Every prostitute was once a responsible lady Someone broke her hymen and turned her crazy Don’t ask me who it was, just look at the mirror It is someone like you, actually staring at you #STOPSHAMINGWOMEN Remember, she used to be self-restraint and pious But not anymore, because someone broke her sainthood and made her spacious What she used to avoid, now she relish and can’t resist Her former abomination, now her favorite meal, who’s to be blamed? #STOPSHAMINGWOMEN Immorality gives her pleasure; but someone first forced her to do it Now she’s weird, Carrot, banana and cucumber all falls on her But sugarcane is all she seek to derive satisfaction Her abuser gave her rough and she gets satisfied, not in any other way #STOPSHAMINGWOMEN Her power of self-control taken, now she wants it plenty and weird 1 to 10 and still counting, ex’es without number They all call her names to shame her, as if the

Live positive, feel positive

Nobody is under any obligation to help or support you. It is not even mandatory on anyone to advise or return your calls. Those who offer some advise and words of encouragements deserve some accolades. People who offer support and help deserve greater commendations. And even those who merely responded to your call, but failed to help also deserve some kudos. Nobody is under any obligation to help or support you. If anyone calls you with their credit, thank them. If they picked your call, appreciate them. If they offer you peanut as support, commend them and if they did nothing, do not hold it against them. Nobody is under any obligation to help or support you. Of course, it is expected that friends and family raise each other, but this is not a mandatory obligation. Some people will, some will not. You don't have to be bitter about it, you don't have to regard those who didn't help as enemy or bad people. We are wired differently. If people help you, tha

One man can bring peace By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat

‘’the peaceful action of a sincere peacemaker can melt the strongest heart of a brutal murderer’’ Abiy Ahmed One man has capacity to inspire peace against all anti-peace forces, no matter how long and bitter the war has been fought. This is what we have learned from Abiy Ahmed (41), the new Prime Minister of Ethiopia in his quest to end his country’s 20 years war with neighboring Eritrea. Eritrea seceded from Ethiopia in 1993 after many years of struggle and internal rift which started in 1974. Five years later, both countries fought over disputed territory along their border. In that unfortunate battle, which signifies the beginning of a long term conflict between the two countries, more than 80,000 people were reportedly killed. Several attempts by the international community to resolve the dispute didn’t yield any result, including a UN backed boundary commission in 2002, which resolved that Ethiopia should cede the town of Badme to Eritrea. Ethiopia refused to honor the
