#Nigeria tells us that today is #ArmedForcesRemembrance Day, a day set aside for our “heroes” in uniform.
We'll do well to remember the lives that have been lost to various atrocities in this blood-stained country of ours...
While there is no doubt to my mind that many officers in @HqNigerianArmy are heroes, think Sani Bello who saved the life of Gen. Ironsi’s ADC, Andrew Nwankwo, or Usman Jibrin, who flew many Igbo officers to safety during the pogroms of 1966...
or even Mohammed Shuwa, who ensured that Igbos were protected in the area under his command, the fact is that on the balance, @HqNigerianArmy has a murderous reputation, and as I once referred to them, are an equal opportunities brutaliser.
is only an arm of @NigeriaGov, and this video attempts to chronicle some of the atrocities committed in #Nigeria, by both state and non-state actors.
This is one of the tragedies of #Nigeria.
The number of people who have been killed in mass atrocities in the country since “independence” perhaps gets close to the 100,000 mark.
Imagine that!

Western governments need better mechanisms in place to be able to integrate refugees they help with. The world has a lot of displaced refugees who need genuine help. Bad actors are actively looking to exploit this as a vulnerability. Better screenings and integration is needed!
At this point what is glaringly obvious is that without proper integration into the social contracts of the host country, societies tend to get fragmented and tribes emerge.
As soon as this happens, separatists movements begin their work to dismantle the host country’s social contracts. While those separatists movements such as Islamists may just merely cause disruption and terror, they won't still be able to change those countries immediately.
But that change process would have already begun in a trajectory that has active selection pressures until contain will continue to optimize. But the immediate disruption and terror should be setting off alarm bells when you zoom out to see where those trajectories are heading.
We can already see this happening in many western countries with already past headway made in an increasing trajectory of encroachment onto the years of hard won social contracts of those countries.

In 2000, NAB gave a British company the contract to find hidden foreign accounts of some 200 Pakistanis. During the next few months, a certain PMLQ was carved out of PMLN but nothing was done about those 200 people whose accounts this company Broadsheet was investigating
Many believe these accounts and other corruption cases were used to arm twist Muslim Leaguers into joining the newly formed 'Muslim League Humkhayal' that later turned into Muslim League Jinnah and then Muslim League - Quaid.
PMLQ however failed to win enough seats in the 2002 elections, despite all the rigging, so another set of elected members was forced to defect from PPPP to form PPPP-Patriots. 2 of these 22 members went on to become Interior Ministers - Aftab Sherpao and Faisal Saleh Hayat.
Broadsheet CEO Kaveh Moussavi claims NAB told him to drop investigations against some out of the list of 200. The company, acc to him, declined but the one of those people went on to become Interior Minister. In Oct 2002, elections were held; by Nov 2002, Jamali had become PM.
In mid-2003, NAB ended the contract with Broadsheet. The purpose had already been served. Years later, Pakistan's Supreme Court termed NAB 'a tool of political engineering'.
Now, Broadsheet's financial condition was so fragile, it went insolvent as soon as NAB ended the contract

Panama Papers exposed our ruling elites corruption & money laundering earlier. Now Broadsheet revelations have again exposed the massive scale of our ruling elites corruption & money laundering. These elites cannot hide behind "victimisation" card on these int revelations.
