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 23^rd 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 23^rd June.

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

The Killings Continue....The Igbo is Slain Again.

by Eze Eluchie,

Crazed mobs attack and behead them when they are in the Northern parts of the country;

Crazed military and security mobs murder them when they are in their home land in the Southern parts of the country;

As usual with all such be-headings, as of the Igbo woman in Kano yesterday and mass killings , as of the Igbo protesters in Asaba and Onitsha over the weekend, there will be no arrests, no consequences and no comments from the ethnocentric political rulers and the heads of Nigeria's skewed security organizations which should be responsible for the protection of lives and property.

Clearly, in keeping with a Presidential desire to not treat those who gave him ‘5% votes’ (a category to which the Igbo’s belong) during the last Presidential elections equally with those who gave 95% votes, there is a clear increase in the spate of killings of Igbo’s across the Nigerian contraption – killings which precipitated the Biafran genocide in the late 60’s.

Nigeria sure is headed downhill towards a path it had trodden before, with lethal consequences.

The Nigerian contraption simply has to be restructured and renegotiated as a solution to what appears an inevitable calamity.

Despite MH17, Flights Continue Through Active War Zones

By Eze Eluchie

Was quite shocked when I looked at the Video Screen in front of my Emirate airline seat on the inbound flight to Lagos and realized that from its flight path, the airplane I was aboard was flying directly through an active war zone – through Maidugri, Bornu State, a notorious hot-bed of Boko Haram operations.

I immediately checked the altitude at which the plane was flying and it struck me that we were actually flying within range of moderately advanced Surface to Air Missiles (SAM’s). All it would take to have brought the plane down was some deranged Boko Haram terrorist, desirous to make ‘paradise’ (Hell more likely) to have the plane within his target and press a trigger, and boom!

How on earth could Nigerian authorities and the International Civil Aviation authorities, following from the experience with Malaysian Airways Flight MH17, allow airline passengers to be at such risk?

One would have thought that after the shooting down of MH17 over Ukrainian airspace, efforts would have been concretized by ICAO and other international aviation regulatory agencies to develop a mandatory regime where by flights, more particularly international flights, will actively avoid passing through areas of active conflict.

The world does not have to experience another Malaysia Airways Flight MH17 before concrete action is taken and general standards set.
