Time will tell. </span>See pictures.....</span><br />

<br />
Since 2004, the ranking is published twice a year (January and July), and it covers more than 20,000 Higher Education Institutions worldwide.<br />
<br />
Previously, no Nigerian university has ever been rated amongst the first five thousand best in the world. Quality of educational research, school size, academic prestige, and others are amongst several other conditions considered for the ratings.<br />
<br />
Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, emerged the second in the country, 5756th in the world and 61st in Africa. It is followed by University of Jos, University of Lagos, University of Benin, University of Ibadan, University of Nigeria Nsuka, all with 66th, 68th,<br />
<br />
77th, 79th, 99th positions in Africa and 5882th, 5936th, 6324th, 6425th and 7170th respectively position in the world.<br />
<br />
The new rating is seen as a sign of improvement, as the best Nigerian university in its February ratings emerged in 6340th global position.<br />
<br />
The University of Lagos, which was ranked at the 6340th position, is now 5936th but it slipped to the fourth position amongst other Nigerian universities.<br />
<br />
Harvard University was rated the best in the world, followed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Stanford University respectively.<br />
<br />
Africa has only one university amongst the first 500, and five in the first one thousand, with University of Cape Town, South Africa leading in Africa and ranked 340th in the entire world. Stellenbosch University, University of Pretoria, and University of the Witwatersrand, followed the ranking as the leading African universities respectively.</span></div>Cypryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06734008831664851880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600406101379311283.post-5347786610230593212011-08-20T12:58:00.000-07:002011-08-20T13:04:30.091-07:00New World Order: The United States Of Europe On Its Way<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtCVr_WVFMO-YXROX2omJCFFsyjHHamQA5_5DcAHL6j5tiZauZ-90iHwjz5SlxiALANGhTrOf8hoyIztK8A5qCvUHlpcVF-uRbm81M56qCwrpa11a7AiiNzuXF-8a1oUJ3ki3KDbo6Pss/s1600/untitled.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268px" qaa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtCVr_WVFMO-YXROX2omJCFFsyjHHamQA5_5DcAHL6j5tiZauZ-90iHwjz5SlxiALANGhTrOf8hoyIztK8A5qCvUHlpcVF-uRbm81M56qCwrpa11a7AiiNzuXF-8a1oUJ3ki3KDbo6Pss/s400/untitled.bmp" width="400px" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The integration of Europe is about to go to another level. As the European debt crisis deepens, there are cries all over the EU for full economic integration in Europe. On Wednesday, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel sent a letter to European Council President Herman Van Rompuy which stated that they want a new “economic government" for Europe to be formed. According to the letter, Sarkozy and Merkel want the leaders of the eurozone countries to “elect” a president for the new “economic government”. The idea would be that the president would hold twice-yearly summits to address the debt problems that Europe is facing right now. But many pro-EU critics are already howling that Sarkozy and Merkel have not gone nearly far enough. A whole lot of “experts” in Europe are proclaiming that without full economic integration and the creation of “eurobonds”, Europe is doomed. Jennifer McKeown, an economist for Capital Economics, put it this way when asked what would happen if eurobonds are not created fairly soon: “The likely outcome is the eurozone ceases to exist”.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />

First a huge problem is created, then there is a negative reaction and then a solution is presented to us. Right now in Europe, the problem is the sovereign debt crisis. We are being told that the only way that the eurozone can survive is if all of the countries agree to much deeper economic integration.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />

There still is a very real chance that the EU could break up and the euro could implode. Absolutely nothing is set in stone right now.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;">But the leaders of the EU are going to do whatever they can to keep it together. They truly believe that a fully united Europe under the banner of the EU is what is best for the continent.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />

Regional governments such as the EU are seen as an intermediate step toward a truly global government. As I have written about previously, the globalists hope one day to have a truly global economy that uses a new global currency.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;">In a recent opinion piece, former EU bigwig Javier Solana made the following statement….</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><i><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;">Truly effective global governance is the strategic horizon that humanity must pursue today with all its energy.</span></i><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 5pt;"><i><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;">It sounds difficult to achieve, and so it will be. But it has nothing to do with pessimism. The challenge of governing global risks is nothing less than the challenge of preventing the “end of history” – not as the placid apotheosis of liberal democracy’s global victory, but as the worst collective failure we can imagine.</span></i><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1;">People like Solana truly believe that if we can eventually unite the entire world that it will bring in a new era of peace and prosperity.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />

To many, its very name evokes a mystical sense of familiarity and lost memories. It is said to be the lost Atlantic continent, the first home of civilisation, an earthly paradise, struck down by a natural catastrophe at the height of its power, and now lying deep under the ocean, with only the tops of its mountains protruding from the ocean floor.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">To others, Atlantis is merely a legend, invented by Plato, the Greek philosopher, as a backdrop for two of his dialogues: Timaeus and Critias.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Another belief is that Atlantis was a true precursor of the early civilisations and not located in the Atlantic at all, but instead occupying some other location, like the Greek islands of Crete or Santorini, as opposed to the Azores, Madeira, or the Canary Islands</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The name Atlantis derives from atlas, the giant Greek God who is said to have supported the sky. In Greek, Atlantis means "Daughter of Atlas".</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">According to Plato, Atlantis was a garden of Eden with an abundance of precious minerals and crystals, particularly orichalcium which was red in colour and considered more valuable than gold. This earthly paradise was a combination of mighty mountains, fertile plains, rivers, marshes and lakes with a thriving population and many species of animals, including elephants.Wood was plentiful for the carpenters. Herbs, flowers, and fruit grew and thrived, being used both as food and for medicinal purposes. The Atlanteans constructed temples, palaces, harbours and docks. They utilized the natural white, black and red stone that were quarried from underneath the centre of the island. Some of their buildings were simple, while others were very elaborate, coated and decorated with gold, brass, tin and the red orichalcium. They built a temple covered with gold and silver pinnacles dedicated to Poseidon, the God of sea, earthquakes and horses. Its ceiling was made of ivory whilst the walls and pillars were lined with orichalcium. There were many statues of gold including the main statue, from floor to ceiling, of Poseidon himself standing in a chariot with six winged horses.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Fountains of hot and cold springs were to be found amidst suitable trees and decorations and relaxing spas. These were used separately by the kings, public and even the horses and cattle! There were many lovely gardens and places of exercise including a horse racing course. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The large and busy harbour bustled with vessels and merchants from all parts of the world. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The surrounding mountains of great height and beauty were inhabited by the wealthy villagers. The meadows, rivers and lakes provided enough food for everyone. It really was the land of plenty!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The large rectangular plain played an important part in this civilization. Straight canals, a hundred feet in width, were cut into it to transport wood and the fruits of the earth down into the city from the mountains.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The inhabitants were divided into groups with leaders who were responsible for their own particular area. For many generations, the people obeyed the laws and possessed true and great spirits, practicing gentleness and wisdom. They lived a very divine life, enjoying their gold and possessions but not abusing them. They believed in friendship and led an almost "idyllic" existence in this land of "milk and honey". Legend says there were many crystal healers, masseurs and therapists, working for the well-being of their fellowman.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">A Hopi myth describes Atlantis as a land in which great cities were created and crafts flourished, but when the people became corrupt and warlike, a great flood destroyed their world. It is thought that eventually the Atlanteans did change their peaceful ways and became aggressive with each other. That is when disaster struck!</span><br />

<br />
Dr. Brad Carter, Senior Lecturer of Physics at the University of Southern Queensland, outlined the scenario to <a href="http://www.news.com.au/technology/sci-tech/tatooines-twin-suns-coming-to-a-planet-near-you-just-as-soon-as-betelgeuse-explodes/story-fn5fsgyc-1225991009247" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">news.com.au</span></a>. Betelgeuse, one of the night sky’s brightest stars, is losing mass, indicating it is collapsing. It could run out of fuel and go super-nova at any time.<br />
<br />
When that happens, for at least a few weeks, we’d see a second sun, Carter says. There may also be no night during that timeframe.<br />
<br />
The Star Wars-esque scenario could happen by 2012, Carter says... or it could take longer. The explosion could also cause a neutron star or result in the formation of a black hole 1300 light years from Earth, reports news.com.au.<br />
<br />
But doomsday sayers should be careful about speculation on this one. If the star does go super-nova, Earth will be showered with harmless particles, according to Carter. "They will flood through the Earth and bizarrely enough, even though the supernova we see visually will light up the night sky, 99 per cent of the energy in the supernova is released in these particles that will come through our bodies and through the Earth with absolutely no harm whatsoever," he told news.com.au.<br />
<br />
In fact, a neutrino shower could be beneficial to Earth. According to Carter this "star stuff" makes up the universe. "It literally makes things like gold, silver - all the heavy elements - even things like uranium....a star like Betelgeuse is instantly forming for us all sorts of heavy elements and atoms that our own Earth and our own bodies have from long past supernovi," said Carter.</span></div>Cypryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06734008831664851880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600406101379311283.post-10307396746457371122011-08-16T04:43:00.000-07:002011-08-16T04:43:44.728-07:00Madonna gets 53rd birthday kiss from 24yr old boy lover<br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A comparative analysis of Nigerian legislators‘ earnings and those of other countries reveals that the former can pay many of their counterparts in other countries and still remain very rich.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An Indian lawmaker needs to work for at least 49 years to earn the annual salary of a Nigerian senator. A lawmaker in India earns $23,988 (N3.7m) per annum while a Nigerian senator earns $1.2m (N182m) per annum. A monthly breakdown shows that while an Indian lawmaker earns $1,999 (N305, 058) per month, a Nigerian senator earns $ 99,167(N15.18m) per month. The Indian lawmakers‘ pay is also a far cry from what members of the House of Representatives earn. THE PUNCH reported last week that each member of the House of Representatives takes home N10.59m every month. Thus, a federal lawmaker in India will work for at least 34 years to earn the N127m annual salary of a member of the House of Representatives.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In fact, the pay of Indian lawmakers was only increased to the current level in August, after the legislators complained that their earlier monthly pay of $345 (N52, 648) was inadequate.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The jumbo pay of Nigerian lawmakers has been in the front burner in recent times, with the Nigerian public criticising it as outrageous. It is doubtful if the salaries and entitlements of National Assembly members had ever raised as much dust. It was the legal icon, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN) who first drew attention to the abnormality in August when he delivered a lecture on “Legislating for Common Good: Contemporary Issues & Perspective” during the celebration of the 47th birthday of the Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Opeyemi Bamidele.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sagay told his obviously stunned audience that in spite of Nigeria‘s position as one of the world‘s poorest nations, with a meagre per capita income of $2,249 per annum as against $46,350 of the US, the nation‘s federal lawmakers were the highest paid in the world, with each earning more than President Barack Obama of the US. And the constitutional lawyer had facts and figures to back his statement. He said that a Nigerian Senator, in 2009 earned N240m in salaries and allowances while his House of Representatives counterpart earned N203.8m. With the dust raised by Sagay‘s revelation yet to clear, the Governor of the Central Bank, Mallam Lamido Sanusi, upped the ante while delivering a lecture, late November at the convocation ceremony of Igbinedion University, Okada, Edo State. He disclosed that 25 per cent of the overhead of the nation‘s budget goes to the NASS.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sanusi‘s disclosure was like a blow below the belt for members of NASS. They accused Sanusi of inciting the public against them with false figures and summoned him to appear before them on different days to clear the air on his statement and also apologise to them. But the turn of events did not rattle Sanusi, as he stood his ground when he appeared before them, insisting that he got his figures from the right source and that there was no need for him to apologise since he did nothing wrong. But a critical analysis of the lawmakers‘ pay will reveal a huge disparity between their pay and the N18,000 (monthly) national minimum wage which state governments are yet to implement.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The least paid worker in the country, at the contentious N18,000 minimum wage earns N234,000 per annum if the 13th month extra pay is added. This means that the least paid worker in the country earns just 0.13 per cent of a senator‘s salary. Such a worker will also need to work for at least 777 years to earn a senator‘s N182m annual pay. A further breakdown reveals that a senator earns N498, 630. 137 a day, N20,776.28 per hour and N346.270 per minute. In other words, a senators daily pay is two times more than the annual pay of the least paid Nigerian worker. A senator’s hourly pay is also more than the monthly pay of the least paid worker in the country. Similarly, the least paid Nigerian worker earns just 0.18 per cent of a member of the House of Representatives’ pay. Such a worker will also need to work for at least 542 years to earn the N127m annual salary of a member of the House of Representatives.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A member of the House of Representatives earns N347, 945 per day, N14, 497 per hour and N241 per minute. In other words, the daily pay of a member of the House of Representatives is more that the annual pay of the least paid Nigerian worker. Also, the monthly pay of the least paid Nigerian worker is slightly above the hourly pay of a member of the House of Representatives. A comparison with the pay of five other countries reveals that the pay of Nigerian lawmakers is indeed outrageous.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The minimum wage in the United States is $1,257 (N191,667) and a US lawmaker earns $15,080 (N2.3m) per month. This shows that the least paid worker in the US earns 8.67 per cent of the total pay of the country‘s lawmaker. Thus, a US legislator will need to work for over six years to earn the annual pay of a Nigerian legislator. The US lawmaker will also need to work for over four years to earn the annual pay of a Nigerian House of Representative member.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the United Kingdom, a lawmaker earns $8,686(N1.3m) monthly while the gross national minimum wage is $1,883 (N283, 333) per month. Thus, the percentage of a UK lawmaker‘s pay that is the salary of the least paid UK worker is 21.68 per cent. This, like that of the US (8.67 per cent) is much higher than Nigeria‘s 0.13 per cent/ 0.18 per cent.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, Nigerian lawmakers earn higher than their counterparts in Sweden. With a monthly pay of $7,707 (N1.2m), a lawmaker in Sweden will need to work for over 12 years to earn a Nigerian senator‘s annual pay of N182m, and for at least nine years to earn the N127m annual pay of a House of Representatives member.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In France, the minimum wage is $1,805 (N275,433) per month and a legislator earns $6,754 (N1.03m) monthly. Thus the least paid worker in France earns 26.73 per cent of the pay of a lawmaker in that country as against Nigeria‘s 0.13 per cent/ 0.18 per cent.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like Nigerian lawmakers, Kenyan lawmakers are also believed to be greedy. In July, the Kenyan public protested against a hike in the salary of the legislators. The lawmakers hiked their salary to $14,583 (N2.2m) per month. And with the minimum wage in the country at $69.17 (N10,555) per month, the least paid worker in the country earns 0.43 per cent of a legislators pay. But this is still better than Nigeria‘s 0.13 per cent/ 0.18 per cent.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many Nigerians have been speaking against the jumbo pay of the lawmakers. On Tuesday, Lagos lawyer and human rights activist, Mr. Femi Falana, while addressing the members of the Edo State branch of the University of Ibadan Alumni Association, called on Nigerians to resist the jumbo pay. A former member of the National Assembly, Prof. Sola Adeyeye, in an interview with THE PUNCH, said that the nation was beset with the calamity of legislation being turned into “legislooting.” He lamented that the Nigerian politicking has become a brazen exercise in elite parasitism. He said, ‘‘Statecraft has degenerated into do-or-die power merchandising that turns senators into “stealators” and representatives into ”representa-thieves!”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, President of the Campaign for Democracy, Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin was of the belief that the lawmakers had not justified the pay. Speaking in an interview with THE PUNCH, she called for a constitution-backed downward. Perhaps, what these Nigerians want is what lawmakers in Venezuela did in December 2009. They passed a law prohibiting the President, judges and top government officials from earning above $6,750 (N1.03m) a month.</span>Cypryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06734008831664851880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600406101379311283.post-8192958718625359752011-07-23T00:38:00.000-07:002011-07-23T00:40:27.066-07:00Terrorist Bomb Attack in Oslo, Norway.....Who did it?<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">As everyone knows by now, there has been a horrific bomb attack in the center of Oslo, Norway:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims.<br />

<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Sardar Mohammad, who shot Ahmed Wali Karzai at his home in Kandahar City on Tuesday, also held regular meetings with British officials, and had two brothers-in-law serving in a CIA-run paramilitary unit, the Kandahar Strike Force, the Washington Post reported yesterday. </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Yet evidence is emerging that the Taliban recruited Mohammad – who was believed to be a friend, confidant and trusted lieutenant of Ahmed Wali Karzai – in an infiltration of the Afghan government's security apparatus.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN;">"Our investigation shows that for the last three months he was acting out of character, not normal, erratic," said Mahmoud Karzai, another Karzai brother. "He wasn't sleeping, he was nervous, he was getting phone calls in the middle of the night, and our information shows he made a trip to Quetta [in Pakistan] and met with some Taliban. His father was a mullah. So all these things combined, plus the Taliban claim of responsibility... but our preliminary investigation indicates this was the work of the Taliban."</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Security analysts say that, if true, it shows not only the problems facing the Afghan army and police as they start taking control of the country from Nato, but also how sophisticated Taliban intelligence operations have become. The immediate assumption after Ahmed Karzai's death was that Mohammad was pursuing a personal vendetta, largely because the notion of defection to the Taliban was so hard to credit. But that seems to be what happened. The insurgents "get these very big victories quite often and I think probably we underestimate the [Taliban's] intelligence components," said one Western analyst. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN;">"They do have dedicated intelligence officers. And that's not just about gathering information but also about infiltration, using whatever combination of blackmail or ideological levers [they need to ... The killing] is a really excellent indication of the sophistication of Taliban intelligence networks. It's something we don't know enough about – how it breaks down," the analyst said.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN;">There has been a string of high-profile attacks by the Taliban against Afghan government officials, and a number of instances of agents infiltrating the Afghan security forces and killing Afghan or Nato troops. On 28 May, General Daud, the top police commander in northern Afghanistan, was killed by a bomb as he met Nato officials. In Kandahar, the deputy governor and the chief of police were assassinated earlier this year.</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN;">But what makes Mohammad's defection so remarkable is just how close he was to Ahmed Wali Karzai. The Washington Post says he met the Kandahar strongman six days a week.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Ahmed Wali Karzai would pay the salaries of his policemen if the government was in arrears, and had taken his mother to Mohammad's house.</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"></span></div>Cypryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06734008831664851880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600406101379311283.post-89227323759280131152011-07-17T13:54:00.000-07:002011-07-18T16:26:50.023-07:00The Rothschild's South Sudan Oil Grab<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">On July 9, 2011 South Sudan became the world’s 193rd nation. Less than a week later violence has erupted in South Kordofan, an area on the new border between Sudan and South Sudan which is controlled by Sudan and rich in oil.

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">For decades Western intelligence agencies backed the Sudanese People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) in an attempt to lop off the southern half of Sudan for the Four Horsemen of Oil. The region contains 75% of Sudan’s oil reserves. What became Africa’s longest running civil war finally came to an end when Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir was pressured into ceding the southern part of his country to the IMF/World Bank vampires after the conflict they created left more than 2 million people dead. Within days of declaring itself a sovereign nation, South Sudan’s state oil company, Nilepet formed a joint venture with Glencore International Plc to market its oil. Glencore is controlled by the Rothschilds. The PetroNile joint venture will be 51 percent controlled by Nilepet and 49 percent by Glencore</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">For decades Western intelligence agencies backed the Sudanese People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) in an attempt to lop off the southern half of Sudan for the Four Horsemen of Oil. The region contains 75% of Sudan’s oil reserves. What became Africa’s longest running civil war finally came to an end when Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir was pressured into ceding the southern part of his country to the IMF/World Bank vampires after the conflict they created left more than 2 million people dead. Within days of declaring itself a sovereign nation, South Sudan’s state oil company, Nilepet formed a joint venture with Glencore International Plc to market its oil. Glencore is controlled by the Rothschilds. The PetroNile joint venture will be 51 percent controlled by Nilepet and 49 percent by Glencore.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">On Friday South Sudan’s new President Salva Kiir Mayardit signed a law formally establishing the Central Bank of South Sudan. Sudan is one of five countries - along with Cuba, North Korea, Syria and Iran - whose central bank is not under the control of the Rothschild-led Eight Families central banking cartel. It is therefore no coincidence that the currency of this newest Rothschild oil fiefdom is called the South Sudan Pound. Already in 1993 Sudanese President al-Bashir had accused Saudi Arabia of providing arms to Johnny Garung’s Sudanese People’s Liberation Army (SPLA). The Israeli Mossad also supplied the SPLA for years through Kenya with CIA approval. In 1996 the Clinton Administration announced that military aid to Ethiopia, Eritrea and Uganda was to be used to arm the SPLA for an offensive on Khartoum.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">When that bloody endeavor failed, the Eight Families henchmen began arming rebels in Chad. Chad has long been an important country in both Exxon Mobil and Chevron Texaco’s North Africa oil production schemes. Chadian President Idriss Deby, who came to power in 1991, was cozy with Big Oil. He also ranked 16th on Parade Magazine’s 2009 World’s Worst Dictator list. The Chad-based rebels had two purposes. The CIA’s House of Saud paymaster provided support for the National Front for Salvation (NFS), which attempted to overthrow Libyan President Mohamar Qaddafi. In 1990, following a successful Libyan-backed counter-coup against the Chad government which was sponsoring the NFS, the US evacuated 350 NFS leaders with Saudi financing. The US restored $5 million in aid to the dictatorial Kenyan government of Daniel Arap Moi so that Kenya would house the NFS leaders, whom other African governments refused to take. Arap Moi later figured in CIA covert operations in Somalia, where the Saudis had also financed counterinsurgency.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Western intelligence agencies then used the government of Chad to finance the Justice & Equality Movement (JEM). From bases in Chad, these terrorists launched forays into the Darfur region of Sudan, creating a massive refugee crisis, while opening a second northern front in Big Oil’s SPLA-led southern flank war against Sudan. Western media predictably blamed the conflict in Darfur completely on the Sudanese government and the liberal idiocracy was led along by their naive noses, ala Yugoslavia. In March 2009 the Eight Families’ favorite kangaroo court - the International Criminal Court (ICC) - charged Sudanese President al-Bashir with war crimes. There was no mention of JEM in the ICC charges.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">By the end of August 2006, Chad’s President Déby had taken a left turn, calling for Chad to get a 60% stake of its domestic oil output after decades of receiving "crumbs" from the foreign companies which ran the industry. He singled out Chevron and Petronas for refusing to pay taxes totalling $486.2 million.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">In 2008 Sudanese President al-Bashir attended Déby’s re-election inauguration, signaling a warming of relations that would eventually end the Darfur conflict. With al-Bashir still sitting atop huge oil reserves, the Eight Families now cooked up a plan for South Sudan to cecede from Sudan. Reeling from the constant attacks on his people which had left two million dead, al-Bashir was forced into agreeing with the split.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">With violence already flaring in Sudanese-controlled and oil-rich South Kordofan, it appears that the SPLA and their Glencore/Rothschild sponsors are not content to have stolen most of Sudan’s oilfields. The vampires want them all.</span><br />

After seven years of schooling he worked as a printer. He became an active </span></span></span><a href="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAtu.htm"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">trade unionist</span></span></a><span class="style33"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> and in 1907 was elected vice president of compositors' branch of the printers' union. He helped lead a printer's strike (1908-09) and after it collapsed the union disintegrated. </span></span></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br />
<br />
<span class="style33"><span style="mso-ansi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">In 1911 Garvey moved to England and briefly studied at Birbeck College where he met other blacks who were involved in the struggle to obtain independence from the British Empire. Inspired by what he heard he returned to Jamaica and established the </span></span></span></span><a href="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAunia.htm"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Universal Negro Improvement Association</span></span></a><span class="style33"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> (UNIA) and published the pamphlet, </span></span></span><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=Marcus+Garvey+&x=17&y=17"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The Negro Race and Its Problems</span></span></a><span class="style33"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">. Garvey was influenced by the ideas of </span></span></span><a href="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAbooker.htm"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Booker T.

<br />
<span class="style33"><span style="mso-ansi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Garvey arrived in the United States on 23rd March 1916 and immediately launched a year-long tour of the country. He organized the first branch of </span></span></span></span><a href="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAunia.htm"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">UNIA</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="style33"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"> in June 1917 and began published the </span></span><span class="style311"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><em>Negro World</em></span></span><span class="style33"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">, a journal that promoted his African nationalist ideas. Garvey's organization was extremely popular and by 1919 UNIA had 30 branches and over 2 million members. </span></span></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br />
<br />
<span class="style33"><span style="mso-ansi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Like the </span></span></span></span><a href="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAnaacp.htm"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="style33"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"> </span></span><span class="style321"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">(NAACP)</span></span><span class="style33"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"> Garvey campaigned against </span></span></span><a href="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAlynching.htm"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">lynching</span></span></a><span class="style33"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">, </span></span></span><a href="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAjimcrow.htm"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Jim Crow</span></span></a><span class="style33"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> laws, denial of black voting rights and racial discrimination. Where UNIA differed from other civil rights organizations was on how the problem could be solved. Garvey doubted whether whites in the United States would ever agree to African Americans being treated as equals and argued for segregation rather than integration. Garvey suggested that African Americans should go and live in Africa. He wrote that he believed "in the principle of Europe for the Europeans, and Asia for the Asiatics" and "Africa for the Africans at home and abroad". </span></span></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br />
<br />
<span class="style33"><span style="mso-ansi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Garvey began to sign up recruits who were willing to travel to Africa and "clear out the white invaders". He formed an army, equipping them with uniforms and weapons. Garvey appealed to the new militant feelings of black that followed the end of the </span></span></span></span><a href="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/FWW.htm"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">First World War</span></span></a><span class="style33"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> and asked those African Americans who had been willing to fight for democracy in Europe to now join his army to fight for equal rights. </span></span></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="style33"><span style="mso-ansi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In 1919 Garvey formed the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. With $10,000,000 invested by his supporters Garvey purchased two steamships, </span></span><span class="style311"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><em>Shadyside</em></span></span><span class="style33"><span style="mso-ansi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"> and </span></span><span class="style311"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><em>Kanawha</em></span></span><span class="style33"><span style="mso-ansi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">, to take African Americans to Africa.

<br />
<span class="style33"><span style="mso-ansi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">After making a couple of journeys to Africa the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company ran out of money. Garvey was a poor businessman and although he was probably honest himself, several people in his company had been involved in corruption. Garvey was arrested and charged with fraud and in 1925 was sentenced to five years imprisonment. He had served half of his sentence when President </span></span></span></span><a href="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAcoolidge.htm"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Calvin Coolidge</span></span></a><span class="style33"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> commuted the rest of his prison term and had him deported to Jamaica. </span></span></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="style33"><span style="mso-ansi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In 1928 Garvey went on a lecture tour of Britain, France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada. On Garvey's return to Jamaica he established the People's Political Party and a new daily newspaper, </span></span><span class="style311"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><em>The Blackman</em></span></span><span class="style33"><span style="mso-ansi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">. The following year Garvey was defeated in the general election for a seat in Jamaica's colonial legislature. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="style33"><span style="mso-ansi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In July, 1932, Garvey began publishing the evening newspaper, </span></span><span class="style311"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><em>The New Jamaican</em></span></span><span class="style33"><span style="mso-ansi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">. The venture was unsuccessful and the printing presses were seized for debts in 1933. He followed this with a monthly magazine, </span></span><span class="style311"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><em>Black Man</em></span></span><span class="style33"><span style="mso-ansi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">. He also launched an organization that he hoped would raise money to help create job opportunities for the rural poor in Jamaica. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="style33"><span style="mso-ansi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The project was not a success and in March, 1935, Garvey moved to England where he published </span></span></span></span><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=Marcus+Garvey+&x=17&y=17"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The Tragedy of White Injustice</span></span></a><span class="style33"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">.

The goodies are flowing down to other artistes on the record label. After the news that D’banj and Don Jazzy got signed on to American Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music Label, it has been celebrations and congratulatory messages for the duo. And days back, D’banj came home alongside Tuface Idibia winning Best International acts at the BET Awards which took place last month. Let’s ignore the awful performance of Wande Coal at the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria pageant; other members of the Mo’hits crew have also had one reason or the other to smile.

K-switch, the younger brother of D’banj and James (Don Jazzy’s younger brother) have pooled resources together to start a door to door delivery of oil and gas business. The company goes by the name JamesNswitch and it’s based in Lagos. A source also hinted that the two big boys are also the brains behind Koko branded investments like Koko Water and Koko Mobile. But this time it is not Koko Oil and Gas instead they decided to name it after themselves.</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"></span></div>Cypryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06734008831664851880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600406101379311283.post-1983422663491932342011-07-06T05:45:00.000-07:002011-07-06T05:45:20.437-07:00Ambition Of An Ignorant Woman<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">The Rastafarian movement is a Religious cult that sprang up from Jamaica in the early 1920's - 30's, following the teachings of Marcus Garvey. They follow Emperor Haile Selassie whose name was Ras Tafari before his enthronement. Ratafarians believe as the Bible teaches that God is a spirit. However, this spirit manifested in and represented by the King H.I.M. Emperor Haile Selassie I, who the nations of Babylon have conspired against, (see Psalms2). This spirit of God, through the grace of Jesus Christ also lives in the hearts of all believers. They said there is no other name by which man receives salvation but through the name and belief in Jesus Christ.</span><br />
<div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">To them, Jesus Christ was a direct descendant of King David. This family of King David is represented today by the Ethiopian Solomonic Dynasty bearing Ethiopian and Shemetic physical characteristics. Hence, any artistic representation of Jesus Christ should therefore logically bear similar physical characteristics of living family members descended from this Royal House. Thus reject Michael Angelo's painting representing Jesus and Mary with Blonde hair and blue eyes. This misrepresentation of the racial characteristics of Jesus and Mary by European artist (which defies geography) is significant in that it can affect the national pride and self denied of this joy and dignity in accepting the reality that Jesus and Mary were people who looked like black people (Africans). The psychological damage to Africans in perpetuating the myth of the past and coming white redeemer may be that of seeking outside of their own kith and kin for a solution of their condition.</span></div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">They believe themselves to be the original Lost Tribes of Israel that were once scattered, but now found because of the preservation and appearing of Judah, David's seed, in the person of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I, and that they will be returned to Ethiopia by God's will and power which they see as there Zion as against Israel. </span></div><div align="justify"><br />

He was the founder of the Solomonic Dynasty in Ethiopia, and is said to be the first monarch to use the title of King of Kings of Ethiopia. Makeda, according to the Kebre Negest, returned from her biblical visit to Jerusalem pregnant with Solomon's son, as did one of her servants. (The Zagwe dynasty would later claim to be the descendants of the servant). When her son was born, she raised him as her heir, and then sent him to meet his father in Jerusalem when he came of age. After meeting his father, Menelik returned to his homeland. When Menelik returned, Solomon arranged for a copy of the Ark of the Covenant to be made for him to take with him, and ordered the eldest sons of all his nobels and priests to go with Menelik. The son of Zadok the High Priest, apparently reluctant to go off to a strange land with just a copy of the Ark, crept into the temple and exchanged the replica with the real Ark, and brought the Ark of the Covenant to Ethiopia. It is kept at the Cathedral of St. Mary of Zion to this day, in a special sanctuary Chapel that only one guardian monk is permitted to enter</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

All succeeding Ethiopian rulers confirmed their having full filial rights and obligations by birth to Yekuno Amlak and, by that means, to King Solomon and Queen Makeda. The information known today about the Solomonic Dynasty comes from a combination of Egyptian, Syrian, and Abysinian text. The Kebra Nagast, a royal chronicle compiled in Abyssinia in the 14<sup>th</sup> century, warrants the reestablishment of the Solomonic line. A good portion of the book is consigned to the origin of Emperor Menelik I who was the son of King Solomon and Queen Makeda.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

Queen Makeda was proselytized to Judaism and she gained knowledge and understanding of Middle Eastern statecraft by study, instructions, and experience. When Queen Makeda resolved to go back to Abyssinia, King Solomon persuaded her to have super with him in his imperial palace. While staying over for the night, she was compelled to go to bed with the king. In his dreams that night the king saw that the Queen would beget him a son, and that God’s blessings would be with him and his country.

This was not merely another King being crowned. This King was crowned His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Elect of God, Light of this World, King of Zion. This King was reported as being the 225thth restores of the Solomonic Dynasty. It was attended by many nations, including the Duke of Gloucester, the representative of the British Crown who returned the Emperor the sacred scepter stolen from Ethiopia many years before.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

The throne that Haile Selassie I represented was the oldest throne on earth, over 3,000 years old. The throne of the Royal House of Britain, the colonial sovereign of Jamaica was less than 500 years old. It was not only that African people saw that they had an African King exceeding all over colonial sovereigns in royal status and antiquity, but this King's throne represented the throne of God on earth, established by a covenant between God and King David as recorded in the Old Testament</span></div></center>Cypryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06734008831664851880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600406101379311283.post-52287794241311685022011-06-29T13:53:00.000-07:002011-06-29T15:15:51.662-07:00Ethiopian Church To Unveil The Ancient Hebrew Ark of Convenant On FridayBible’s ‘Ark of the Covenant’ about to be unveiled? Ethiopian patriarch tells pope he will show artifact to world<br />
<br />
The patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia says he will announce to the world Friday the unveiling of the Ark of the Covenant, perhaps the world’s most prized archaeological and spiritual artifact, which he says has been hidden away in a church in his country for millennia, according to the Italian news agency Adnkronos. Abuna Pauolos, in Italy for a meeting with Pope Benedict XVI this week, told the news agency, “Soon the world will be able to admire the Ark of the Covenant described in the Bible as the container of the tablets of the law that God delivered to Moses and the center of searches and studies for centuries.”<br />
The announcement is expected to be made at 2 p.m. Italian time from the Hotel Aldrovandi in Rome. Pauolos will reportedly be accompanied by Prince Aklile Berhan Makonnen Haile Sellassie and Duke Amedeo D’Acosta.<br />
<br />
Abuna Pauolos, patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia “The Ark of the Covenant is in Ethiopia for many centuries,” said Pauolos. “As a patriarch I have seen it with my own eyes and only few highly qualified persons could do the same, until now.” According to Pauolos, the actual Ark has been kept in one church, but to defend the treasure, a copy was placed in every single church in Ethiopia. He said a museum is being built in Axum, Ethiopia, where the Ark will be displayed. A foundation of D’Acosta will fund the project.<br />
The Ark of the Covenant is the sacred container of the Ten Commandments as well as Aaron’s rod and a sample of manna, the mysterious food that kept the Israelites alive while wandering in the wilderness during their journey to the promised land.<br />
<br />
The Bible says the Ark was built to the specifications of God as He spoke to Moses. It was carried in advance of the people and their army by priests. It was also carried in a seven-day procession around the walled city of Jericho. The idea that the Ark is presently in Ethiopia is a well-documented, albeit disputed, tradition dating back to at least 642 B.C. The tradition says it was moved to Elephantine Island in Egypt, then to Tana Kirkos Island in Ethiopia and finally to its present site at St. Mary’s of Zion Church in Axum. Ethiopians believe it is destined to be delivered to the Messiah when He reigns on Mount Zion – the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.<br />
<br />
Jeremiah 3:16 points to a time when the Ark will vanish not only physically, but from the minds of the people: “And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.” The Book of Revelation says the Ark is in the temple of God in heaven (Rev. 11:19). Muslim scholars say it will be found near the end of times by the Mahdi – a messianic figure in Islam.Cypryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06734008831664851880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600406101379311283.post-13083962617390078232011-06-28T13:20:00.001-07:002011-06-28T13:20:43.685-07:00Funmi Iyanda turns down being a presenter on CNN<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0HIChas3-eYNGLxrQh8CrLRH5L7MK1m85o9PwfAKJRt0U68AghcmGYkeTDwmKkk5J-rinhJbHaojLe-iy0ZVJMxaqh5EhcPjmHEE80cbBFjcr-bEG5dZ8ULgYrtLBE39RD9iU-nb_8IQ/s1600/FunmiIyandaBBC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0HIChas3-eYNGLxrQh8CrLRH5L7MK1m85o9PwfAKJRt0U68AghcmGYkeTDwmKkk5J-rinhJbHaojLe-iy0ZVJMxaqh5EhcPjmHEE80cbBFjcr-bEG5dZ8ULgYrtLBE39RD9iU-nb_8IQ/s1600/FunmiIyandaBBC.jpg" /></a></div>She explains why “Surely, that would have taken my career backward. Why would I want to be a presenter on CNN when I make shows that CNN would happily commission and buy? I have been offered several shows to produce and host for a number of international platforms. Two are in development, both are continental and audacious. If CNN offered me my own Piers Morgan type of gig, then yes! You know what would be great? If I am able to do the same for a coalition of NTA, AIT and Channels. Right now the policies and economies that are against it are daunting but time will tell.”Cypryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06734008831664851880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600406101379311283.post-28886485054667678232011-06-27T15:19:00.000-07:002011-06-27T15:19:59.177-07:00Tuface, D'Banj Win BET Awards<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj51gSgeQb5kgbZcUL3bO7xQh7mV7jspF5XhpdhLCvkz9rYgSMwHj7qfeQjTsdZzWWAxdHq5hgU6yv-wqFtI03Bs_C0mY2EatF8ljC7vXMWJvMAYA0ufdZ7hMFYOOzLxKobm1f9djmKjts/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj51gSgeQb5kgbZcUL3bO7xQh7mV7jspF5XhpdhLCvkz9rYgSMwHj7qfeQjTsdZzWWAxdHq5hgU6yv-wqFtI03Bs_C0mY2EatF8ljC7vXMWJvMAYA0ufdZ7hMFYOOzLxKobm1f9djmKjts/s320/2.jpg" width="171px" /></a></div><br />

</div>The BET Awards took place last night at the Shrine Auditorium in LA and Nigeria's Tuface Idibia and D'Banj won Best International Act For Africa. It was a tie between them. Other nominees for the category were: Fally Ipupa (Congo DR) D-Black (Ghana), Angelique Kidjo (Benin), and Teargas (South Africa).<br />
Big congrats to them. But why a tie? Why not one or the other? What do you guys think of this? Who would you give best dressed?Cypryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06734008831664851880noreply@blogger.com0
