And u guys are sharing papers. . If u had fam there that had been hacked with machetes or stabbed to death in broad daylight. .let's see how u'd lead a peaceful protest. Oh please, bye!

  35. I will provoke some school of thoughs,some will get annoyed ,some are going to call me names and some will hate me for this little piece. Me thinks that devil the lucifer is a black man by looks and considering what he is made of ...stones... Sapphires etc... They are all found in Africa. Again the heart of an average black man is wicked and evil! A black man can never do anything good for a fellow man without making reference to it tomorrow or expecting a return back. I was thinking had it been Nigeria didn't gain the so called independence what would have happened? May be the masters would have built our Railways,Our Electricity,Our schools modeled after the likes in UK,our roads built strong and durable,our security working ,maybe there won't be so much corruption because the system will jail the likes of Ibori,Alamieseigha etc.Maybe the BokoHaram and Militants won't be threatening the Nation. So I was asking myself is Independence a blessing or a curse? I think its a curse because if there was no independence atleast over 3 million Igbos killed during the Biafran Pogrom would all have been alive! Because Gowon and Ojukwu won't be military head of state and administrator of Eastern region respectively and as a result no Aburi meeting and then no Biafra war! I was also checking Sierra leone,Liberia,Rwanda,etc!!! Those millions of souls that Russians used to test the AK 47 riffles and RPG would have been alive living in good decent condition but no access to political power.
    Then maybe there won't be President Jacob Zuma ,nor Madiba Mandela and President Declerk of SouthAfrican white would still be there or another white SouthAfrican President who would have sent the dogs after the Xenophobic killers and probably The Zulu king would have been in the same small prison that housed Mandela peeping out of the window and wishing he didn't make that statement that caused all these hate killings. I strongled believe that if the colonial masters are still around ,it would have been a lot better and less killing as the masters would only go after those rebels who would want to overthrow the government like Awolowos,Buharis,Babangidas,Great Ogborus and milions of innocent Nigerians,Biafrans ,Rwandans,Liberians,Hutus,Tutsis etc would have been alive living the God given life with lesser money and lesser problems.... I know some will curse the living daylight out of me for writig this article but as I see ,watch and read what South Africans are doing to foreigners ,I wish and pray God did not answer our prayers by giving power to black southafrican . I strongly believe that Satan is a black man and from South Africa because he rebeled against God his maker ,same thing SouthAfricans are the ones killing fellow Africans that prayed,payed and fought for their emancipation and now turned against us. I want to wipe my tears as I can no longer control the flood of tears rolling down my cheeks after watching how these heartless bastards hacked a woman with axe just for being a foreigner and taking up their jobs....
