1. World Economic Forum Africa, Abuja Nigeria 7th - 9th May 2014

Wow, what a month that was! 
The month of May proved to be a most surreal one as we saw Speaker after speaker, attendee after attendee cancel and decline lucrative opportunities to come to Nigeria. Who can blame them as in April not only did we see the bombings of our beautiful capital Abuija





  
by insidious and cowardly terrorists; but also these same poltroons then went on the rampage kidnapping little girls to show their lack of masculinity masked in draconian religious beliefs. These animals are not religious: we saw no martyrs sacrificing their lives in the name of the jihad. These beasts are not led by a Nigerian; how could they be acting in such a manner against their own future. They say the nomadic migrant leader, who had previously tried to join many terrorist groups up and down the continent but was consistently rejected: is a  syphilitic sociopath megalomaniac on a terrible mission! Paired with a indecisive Government many chose to stay away but for those who did attend there were large deals to write up and opportunities to be grasped and closed.

Being in Abuja during this period was indeed a unique experience as a witness; as with the IOC and FIFA racketeers - what WEF is really about coming when they ,borg-like, assimilate a city by charging it a fortune to host, re-branding the streets, taking over normalcy, deal making, restrictive ruling, media hungry then finally check out with no consideration for the indigenous people dislodged or left behind!


The world is not as it seems; we are all players on a wooden stage with strings, trapdoors, sand sacks and loaded dice planned & positioned way before most people even know they even exist. 

Guards up and locked down.....

 The Beauty and the Soldier....
 Nigeria we hail thee....
The Gates of Abuja

The private jets were in full force at Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja:


Some were not invited so had to stay at home at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos:


Some deals are just too big to even see let alone fight! 

As Abuja was on lock down there were no bombs, all the workers were given a 3 day holiday and Boko Harem seemed to be on holiday for a while.

See through the religious war facade and see the trees of political manipulation.






Meanwhile Abuja survived and lives on in stunning beauty and inspirational potential! 


The food security question and the rush for our commodities are the real issues mes amis! 


Transcorp Hilton Hotel 

This is our Capitol Hill where in the corridors of power all our futures are wielded,  commodities prices set and the innocent are hoodwinked.

Fear not there are some in and out of Government who are doing good and add light in our time of darkness; we are the ones that shall prevail! 


As the old shall do not want to relent it is up to the young to peel their grip off the orb of power and take control!
