Colloquium on Genocides, War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity

As the international community begins to crystallize its resolve that Never Again, I look forward to welcoming you all to the International Colloquium on Genocides, War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity, scheduled for McDonough Hall, Georgetown University, Washington DC on Friday, 1st March 2013.

Efforts will be made to livestream (web-cast) the event – details for this will be made available through this media, prior to the event.

The theme for the inaugural session is: The Forgotten Genocides.

The denial of episodes of genocides is in itself abominable. Such denials mean that no lessons have been internalized from previous mass killings and portend the likelihood of repeats.

Let us all join the resolve that NEVER AGAIN!

We have trode this path before, with dire consequences.

The men being forced to lie on dirty grounds by combined team of armed military and police personnel are traders at the Ladipo Market, Lagos, which was recently shut down by the Lagos State Government purportedly over issues with ‘environmental sanitation’ – and we all know where they hail from. Why treat them as mere criminals – for goodness sake, these are men whose wares have been seized/locked up and they are now being paraded as mere criminals!

Anybody familiar with the Lagos terrain knows quite well that the reasons’ being advanced by the Government is hogwash!

Saints from hell

One really wonders what was on Oby Ezekwesili’s mind when she was reeling out her accusations against the Yar’Adua/Jonathan administration.

Did Ms. Oby Ezekwesili expect Nigerians to believe that Obasanjo and his gang of 40 thieves with whom he ruined Nigeria would have left behind the sum of U.S.$67 Billion whilst departing from office? Did Ms. Oby Ezekwesili expect Nigerians to jump up and applaud her for exposing the monumental graft going on in the name of rulership in Nigeria? These people actually hold Nigerians in absolute contempt!
