The Deeper You Dig, The Darker It Becomes

This is Osiris, the founder and the first king of Egypt. he was the one who brought his people into Egypt. he is the father of Horus, the brother of Seth, the brother and husband of Isis. the greeks took the Egyptian methodology and worshipped him by changing his name into Aupis(Hades). later the Romans adopted him as one of their gods, changed his name into Dionysus and made him the god of healing.

He is originally Ethiopian, he came from deep south of where the Nile river originated. the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus wrote this “The Ethiopians say that the Egyptians are settlers from among themselves and that Osiris was the leader of the settlement. The customs of the Egyptians, they say, are for the most part Ethiopian, the settlers having preserved their old traditions."

he further stated “They say also that the EGYPTIANS ARE COLONISTS SENT OUT BY THE ETHIOPIANS, Osiris having been the leader of the colony. For speaking generally, what is now Egypt, they maintain, was not land but sea when in the beginning the universe was being formed; afterwards, however?, as the Nile during the times of its inundation carried down the mud from Ethiopia, land was gradually built up from the deposit.

Also the statement that all the land of the Egyptians is alluvial silt deposited by the river receives the clearest proof, in their opinion, from what takes place at the outlets of the Nile; for as each year new mud is continually gathered together at the mouths of the river, the sea is observed being thrust back by the deposited silt and the land receiving the increase.

And the larger part of the customs of the Egyptians are, they hold, Ethiopian, the colonists still preserving their ancient manners”. he wrote this 2,000 years ago and it's is still happening. the Nile river still carries down muds from Ethiopia to Egypt. the Egyptian government sell these muds to some deserted Arabian countries. one of the reasons why Ethiopia has been building the dam is to stop the mud from going out anywhere."

he wrote this again, “Egypt itself was a colony of Ethiopia and the laws and script of both lands were naturally the same; but the hieroglyphic script was more widely known to the vulgar in Ethiopia than in Egypt”. Source: Diodorus Siculus, Bibliotheke Historica, or Library of History, bk. iii, ch. 3.)

the Ethiopians also know this. in the ancient Ethiopian books they mentioned this same history and said that the ancient Mizras (Egyptians) are their people sent out by their man, Ausis. by the way in Ethiopian history his name is ኦሲስ(Ausis), he is known as Ausis.

One of the well known Ethiopia's historian and philosopher Professor Fikre Tolosa(PHD) said this in his book "the indigenous Egyptians were Ethiopians. Ausis was the leader of the migration, they followed Abay(Nile river) and finally settled there." the book is entitled "from Ethiopia to Egypt" it is not yet been translated into English. if anyone can read Amharic, i will indicate the book.

“The Egyptians are colonists sent out by the Ethiopians, Osiris having been the leader of the colony. . . . Osiris . . . . gathered together a great army, with the intention of visiting all the inhabited lands and teaching the race race of men how to cultivate . . . . for he supposed that if he made men give up their savagery and adopt a gentle manner of life he would receive immortal honors. . . . .

They were the earliest, and say that the proofs of this are clear. That they did not arrive as immigrants but are the natives of the country and therefore rightly are called authochthonous is almost universally accepted. That those who live in the south are likely to be the first engendered by the earth is obvious to all . . . .

They further write that it was among them that people were first taught to honor the gods and offer sacrifices and arrange processions and festivals and perform other things by which people honor the divine.

Nokia still remain the best creative designer in the world

04/11/2023

Yesterday, I went out with the Men of the Nigerian Police to arrest one Fr@udster who wiped the Last 370k in one of my Clients Opay Account.

I have been on this case for More than a Month.

From the Fr@udster's confession, I need you to Learn something

He said that, he went to my Clients shop and beg her for one minute call on her phone. And my Client been a good Samaritan gave him her phone.

This guy said, he used that Opportunity to act like he was dialling a number, whereas he was dialling a code that will forward all my Client's call and messages to his phone number.

Meaning, when my client receives calls, they receive it together, same as messages.

I sincerely don't know how that is possible, but this guys are not joking, they know more than we know and they have some secret and special code they use.

So he was able to reset her Opay Password and transaction pin when he got home, which gave him access to withdraw the money there.

This is terrible

So, I think you need to check if your number has been forwarded and compromised.

If you use Android or iPhone.
Go to your phone Settings

Click on the Search Bar

Type, Call Forwarding
Open it and check ✅

Or go to your Call app.
Click on the menu, then click on settings.

After that, you will see calling account

Then select one of your SIM and click on additional settings

You will now see Call Forwarding

Or you can Use USSD CODE
Dial # #002 # and all call forwarding will be cancelled

If your number has been forwarded, my dear, you are not safe o.

If your number has not been forwarded, (good of you) but pls to remian safe and sure....make sure you still click on the Cancel all call Forwarding.

After checking, pls let us know in the comments section if you are safe and your number is not forwarded

Don't be a Good Samaritan anymore, e no dey always end well.

Instead, be a wise Samaritan

The Guy will be Charged to Court

ignorantia juris non excusat

What will you gain, if you refuse to share this important information I just passed to you.

THE FBI FILE, THE TWERKING OF BAYO ORANGUTAN AND THE NIGERIAN MEDIA
The FBI has started releasing the criminal files of Bola Tinubu. Expectedly, the Nigerian main stream media is quiet. They won’t touch it. This is simply because Bayo Orangutan sorry, Onanuga, has been twerking to various media houses, sharing millions in brown envelopes to keep journalists playing the ostrich.
Few days ago, Onanuga had written his usual gibberish, attempting to celebrate the sudden volte-face made by the FBI not to release any file containing Bola Tinubu’s name linking him to a drug crime in the U.S.
Unfortunately, that was not the case. The files indicated Bola Tinubu et al, as members of a drug cartel who operated in Chicago. Lee Andrew Edwards, Adegboyega Akande, Abiodun Agbele, and Bola Tinubu were all investigated and indicted by Agent Kevin Moss for drug deals in Chicago and Gary, Indiana. These are documented facts!
The few files released so far from the painstaking work done by Aaron Greenspan of Plainsite and our own dogged and thoroughbred David Hundeyin should have triggered curiosity, more digging and front page reporting. No. As long as Tinubu’s brown envelopes continue to flow, Nigeria can be ruled by a Pablo Escobar, Lawrence Anini, Adolph Hi**er, Idi Amin and their likes and all will all be fine.
A serious country with a vibrant media space should be alarmed that the released FBI files has clearly showed that the man parading A*o Rock as President, was indeed a member of a drug cartel in Chicago. This is a major dent on the nation and her citizen. That we have become so lazy that our leadership selection processes lack integrity, diligence and credibility, exposes the deep rot in our morals as a people. How did Tinubu pass with all the baggage around him as a criminal and everywhere is in pin drop silence. The media and the citizens, just like the Judiciary, must have been thoroughly dazed that all is now in a rat race for the season of “emi lo kan;” get your share and become an Ostrich. There was a country indeed!

Full text of NADECO USA world press conference held in the city of Chicago today 23rd Oct. 2023.

Page 1

Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen,

Esteemed members of the Press.

All other protocol duly observed.

The National Democratic Coalition (NADECO USA) is Nigeria's premier and foremost pro-democracy group based in Washington, D.C. USA. The group is committed to deepening sustainable democracy, the rule of law, good governance, electoral accountability, and transparency in Nigeria.

On February 25, 2023, Nigeria held a Presidential election which was marred by several irregularities. Asides the obvious flaws, that were clearly and roundly condemned by local and international observers, there were so many procedural issues. Pre-eminent among them is the question of the University Diploma that was submitted to the electoral body, the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), by the candidate of the ruling party, All Progressives Congress, Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who now sits as the president of Nigeria.

Chicago State University (CSU) in response to a deposition query stated that the diploma that Mr. Tinubu submitted to INEC was not issued by them. At the same time CSU alleged that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu actually graduated from the school and presented a transcript of results purporting to be that of President Bola A. Tinubu.

1. If so, who issued the diploma and where did Mr. Tinubu obtain the diploma from? Why did CSU not issue a diploma certificate to a student the school claimed graduated from CSU? Could Chicago State University have issued a Certificate to a student who has not met or satisfied the required credits for graduation?

The Nigerian people would like an answer to the question above because the authenticity of the diploma has thrown Nigeria into a political upheaval ever since the conclusion of the election.

**Furthermore, the Nigerian people and NADECO USA would like clarifications on the following:**

Based on the pertinent portions of the transcripts obtained during the deposition of CSU Registrar, Mr. Welberg, the University authority admitted that, the Bola A. Tinubu with Social Security number: 231-06-0595, who attended CSU had completed a total of 105 credit hours and needed to have completed an additional 15 credit hours in order to graduate. Those classes included but were not limited to English 222 and Mathematics.

2. So, did Bola A. Tinubu eventually complete those 15 credit hours, and if he did, when did he take them?

Additionally, transcripts from South West College that enabled Mr. Tinubu to gain admission as a transfer student, bear a Social Security number different from Mr. Tinubu's Social Security number.

The transcripts further show that the gender of the applicant was female, whereas, Mr Tinubu who supposedly graduated from CSU, is a male.

UPDATED: SUPREME COURT ELECTION PANEL TO DELIVER JUDGEMENT ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, CONCLUDES CONFERENCE
The panel of seven Justices of the Supreme Court hearing the election petitions of Atiku Abubakar of the PDP and Peter Obi of the LP, concluded conference on the matter and agreed to deliver judgement on Thursday November 2, 2023, a Supreme Court official told me.
The Justices had earlier today heard arguments from the PDP and LP candidates after which they reserved judgement, dismissing the petition of the APM.
Nigerians are anxiously waiting to see if the Justices would uphold the sham election that brought Bola Tinubu, who had forged his certificate and rigged himself into power.
Note: This post has been adjusted to reflect the new info

23/10/2023

BRIEF OF WHATS HAPPENED SO FAR:

-Chris Uche SAN (Atiku) says the appeals are ripe for hearing.
He said there are some pending interlocutory application and moves a motion filed 6 October 2023.

He seeks five minutes of adumberation of the application.

They are praying for an order of leave to present fresh evidence on appeal based on the deposition on oath from Chicago State University.

He said the application is predicated on 20 grounds and an affidavit of 20 paragraphs filed on behalf of Atiku.

He went on to say upon the receipt of counter-affidavit from Mr Tinubu, APC and INEC, they filed a written address dated 18 October.

He adopts the application and urges the court to grant their request.

Chris Uche also said the issue involving Tinubu’s certificate is a weighty, grave and constitutional one, which the Supreme Court. He urged the court to admit the fresh evidence of President Tinubu’s academic records from CSU presented by Atiku.

He said the Supreme Court has a duty to take a look at Mr Tinubu’s records and reach a decision devoid of technicality.

-The presiding judge , John Okoro SAN, asked Chris Uche SAN whether the Supreme Court should rely on the Electoral Act or the Constitution.

In his response, Chris Uche says the issue about Mr Tinubu’s certificate is a constitutional matter which the court should look into.

—A member of the panel, Emmanuel Agim, asks Chris Uche to explain the nature of Atiku’s fresh documents he seeks to tender before the Supreme Court.

—Justice Agim asked whether the testimony by CSU registrar was conducted in a court.

Justice Agim says from Chris Uche’s court filing, the testimony by the CSU registrar held in Atiku’s lawyer’s law office in the US.

—Justice Agim says The CSU did not issue any letter discrediting Mr Tinubu’s certificate

“We are dealing with a matter that touches on the national unity of Nigeria,” the justice also says.

—Justice Okoro seeks clarification from Atiku’s lawyer, Chris Uche.

— Justice Okoro asks Mr Uche on why he wants the Supreme Court to brush aside constitutional provisions and entertain the fresh evidence.

—Chris Uche SAN explained that section 233 of the constitution gives the Supreme Court the power to entertain questions about whether a person has been properly elected.

—Chris Uche responds to the issue raised about the CSU proceedings.

“There is a slight distinction between proceedings in the US and the UK.

“In the US, that is how court proceedings are done.

“Mr Tinubu was represented by a US lawyer, but he did not object to the proceedings being held in Atiku’s lawyer’s law office.”

Chris Uche said the depositions are more effective than letters from the CSU authorities regarding the authenticity of Mr Tinubu’s academic records.
9:43 a.m: Justice Okoro says criminal matters have to be proved beyond reasonable doubt. But in this case, there are two conflicting letters from the CSU – one authenticating the president’s certificate and another discrediting it. “Which do we rely on?” He asked.

Chris Uche refers the court to a letter earlier issued to Michael Enahoro-Ebah, a lawyer, who testified for Atiku against Mr Tinubu at the Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja.

—INEC lawyer, Abubakar Mahmoud SAN, asked the Supreme Court to dismiss Atiku’s application seeking to tender Mr Tinubu’s academic records.

-Wole Olanipekun SAN , appealed to the Supreme Court to “dismiss this very unusual application” seeking to tender fresh evidence against Mr Tinubu.

He sayid the fresh evidence is NOT admissible.

Olanipekun argues that the CSU depositions are dormant until the deponent comes to court and testify. INEC should have been a party at the deposition proceedings in the US, the aeniorawywe says

The question of 180 days (the statutory period within which an election petition should be filed and determined) is clear. It is sacrosanct, can’t be shifted. Therefore, Atiku CAN’T seek to tender fresh evidence at the Supreme Court.

22/10/2023

JUST LIKE THE CJN AND KEKERE-EKUN DID, JUSTICE OGUNWUMIJU SHOULD RECUSE HERSELF FROM THE SUPREME COURT PANEL BECAUSE OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST

In case you don't know, Justice Helen Ogunwumiju is the MOTHER, I mean the MOTHER of Kehinde Ogunwumiju, SAN, who is one the lawyers at the same tribunal representing the APC.

She is also the MOTHER of an APC politician, now a Legislature, representing Ondo State under the platform of APC.

Since Justice is meant to be served with both EYES CLOSED, and YOU CANNOT SHAVE YOUR OWN HAIR WITH YOUR BOTH EYES CLOSED.

Considering these strong Family ties, there is definitely going to be CONFLICT OF INTEREST, and so concerned Nigerians must demand that She RECUSE HERSELF FROM THE PANEL.

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United Stated, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID.
