A BREXIT-Like Vote in the US come November?

by Eze Eluchie,

United States President, Barrack Obama’s extremely naive and ostrich-with-head-buried-in-the-sands  comments that the Orlando massacre had nothing to do with extremist Islam (despite explicit evidence and pronouncements by the shooter that he was aligned with ISISS) and general disposition to obviate the reality of danger posed to global hegemony by extremist Islamist ideologues; coupled with Hilary Clinton's position during her tenure as US Secretary of State that Boko Haram was not a terrorist organization but merely a socio-economic reaction to marginalization and poverty (despite the several be-headings, suicide bombing of Christian places of worship and bombing of the United Nations complex in Nigeria's capital city, Abuja, carried out by the dreaded terrorist outfit), in the process, refusing to accord Boko Haram the status of a Foreign Terrorist Organization, amongst other positions which sought to confuse global efforts against terror and her general disposition to, like President Obama, refrain from recognizing and facing the dire threat to humanity posed by extremist Islam, may well lead to a BREXIT-like vote during the forthcoming US Presidential elections in November.

Americans may wake up the night after the Presidential elections, like the Brits did after the BREXIT vote, wondering why, who and what they had really voted for.

Would the result of the next US Presidential elections also leave the rest of the world wondering why the US exited from the core values for which the rest of the world have come to associate the US. Would November 2016 Presidential Elections be a USExit?

Brits, on Your Independence, Congratulations.

by Eze Eluchie,

I congratulate the people of the United Kingdom on this momentous occasion of their ‘independence’ attained via a decisive vote to leave the European Union.

In the face of unwelcomed threats, warnings and outright intimidation from foreign entities and particularly financial institutions and some foreign heads of governments, the Brits have voted with their minds and conscience to leave the European Union – the rest of the world simply have to live with this reality. All those apocalyptic predictions seeking to cajole a people’s destiny will simply fade away as their veracity is disproved by traditional British resilience and industriousness.   

All other peoples, across the world, desirous of a Referendum to determine their continued stay or otherwise in any contraption which they might have been foisted into, only now have to continue with more vigor until their intentions and hearts desires get fulfilled.

Brexit: To Be Or Not To Be.

by Eze Eluchie,

Article 20 Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
1. Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.
2. No one may be compelled to belong to an association.

As the people of the United kingdom go to the polls on June 23rd 2016, to choose whether they want to continue with their membership of the European Union or not, what they require from the rest of the world (those who may be interested in the outcome of what is clearly a sole choice of the British people), is goodwill messages expressing to, where and when possible, support whatsoever decisions they arrive at, respect their right to choose and non-interference in the processes leading to that choice.

Scaremongering, veiled threats, dooms-day scenario painted or voiced by foreign ‘experts’ desirous of one outcome of the referendum or the other is disrespectful of the British as it tends to portray them as a people who do not know what is best for themselves, amounts to unnecessary interference in the affairs of a sovereign people, undemocratic as those who are not directly impacted by the outcomes seem intent on influencing the process, and simply distasteful.

Quite a lot of people across Sub-Sahara Africa are anxious for an opportunity to decide for themselves whether to continue with the contraptions into which they were entrapped by pre-colonial draconian agreements and would give an-arm-and-a-leg for the privilege the British will be enjoying come the 23rd June.

So, to the British: go and decide for yourselves.
