Indeed, Africa is a Cemetery

We mourn — with the tired familiarity of history, the passing of President Muhammadu Buhari, former leader of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who, true to the legacy of many African heads of state, took his final breath not on African soil, but in a London hospital.

It is a story we know too well.

Once again, a man who presided over a nation with neglected hospitals, underpaid doctors, and decaying infrastructure sought refuge in the former colonial capital when illness struck. He could not trust the healthcare system he supervised for eight years — and who could blame him? Like his peers, he did not invest in it.

In life, Africa was never enough.
Not for his health — that was for London.
Not for his children’s education — that was for the UK.
Not for leisure — that was for Paris and Dubai.
Not for wealth — that was hidden in Zurich.
Not even for development — that was outsourced to foreign corporations.

And now, in death, the same land that was not good enough to live in has suddenly become good enough to be buried in. The Nigerian government has announced that President Buhari will be buried in Daura, Katsina State — a town still waiting for the dividends of the democracy he championed in speeches but neglected in practice.

This is the final irony of African leadership:
They steal from Africa,
live abroad,
treat abroad,
educate abroad,
vacation abroad,
but return home only in a coffin.

Indeed, what they refused to build in life — functional hospitals, quality schools, sustainable economies — they cannot escape in death. They are lowered into the earth of a continent they looted, watched over by the people they failed, guarded by institutions they weakened, and praised by sycophants they empowered.

President Buhari, like many before him, missed the opportunity to make Nigeria — and by extension, Africa — livable, dignified, and respected. Instead, he governed with detachment, ruled with distance, and left with his legacy contested and his promises largely unfulfilled.

In the end, he returns home — not to lead, not to fix, not to redeem — but to be buried.

Indeed, Nigeria, and Africa at large, is only good as a burial ground.
The continent that cannot keep her leaders alive now faithfully keeps their remains.

Indeed, Africa is a Cemetery.

The National Youth Council of Nigeria, Niger State Chapter, under the leadership of Amb. Abdullahi Muhammad Ishaq, urgently calls upon His Excellency, Governor Umar Mohammed Bago, to take immediate action regarding the escalating banditry attacks that have been wreaking havoc in the Rijau, Magama, Mariga, and Kontagora Local Government Areas of Niger State. The persistent violence and insecurity in these regions have created a climate of fear and unease among residents, making it imperative for the state government to step in decisively.

These attacks have not only led to loss of lives and properties but have also disrupted the daily lives of countless families, hampering agricultural activities and overall economic stability in the affected areas. The youth council emphasizes the urgent need for enhanced security measures and strategic interventions to restore peace and security in these localities. It is crucial for the government to engage with local leaders, security agencies, and community members to develop comprehensive solutions that address the root causes of banditry and foster a safer environment for all citizens.

Moreover, the council appeals to the state government to consider providing compensation to the families of vigilantes who have lost their lives while bravely defending their communities against these threats. These vigilantes play a vital role in combating insecurity, often placing their lives on the line to protect others. Acknowledging their sacrifices through compensation would not only honor their memory but also encourage continued community involvement in the fight against crime.

In conclusion, the call for immediate intervention and support for the families of fallen vigilantes is vital for rebuilding trust within the community and ensuring that residents feel safe and secure in their homes. The youth council urges the state government to act swiftly and decisively to address these pressing challenges in Niger State.

The death of former President Buhari in London should offer the Nigerian political class another opportunity for sobriety and circumspection.

As President, Buhari had 8 years to offer selfless leadership and change the country for the better. He abused and missed that golden opportunity.

Buhari had all the power and resources to build a standard hospital in Nigeria that would have catered for his medical needs, but he failed to do so.

He returned to power in 2015 by projecting himself as a reformed democrat, but he did not only continue in his military attitude to governance, he transformed into a civilian dictator and a serial desecrator of human rights and democratic norms.

Those who benefited from Buhari’s misrule can grieve endlessly about his death, but the millions of Nigerians whose lives and sources of livelihood were destroyed by his ungodly and tyrannical actions also have the right to ventilate their feelings.

Politicians who make the lives of Nigerians miserable during their lifetime cannot be venerated as saints in death.

A culture that allows people to blatantly lie about the dead cannot bring progress and prosperity.

I do not celebrate Muhammadu Buhari’s death, our mortality is what makes us to be humans. However, the living should always reflect on what they’ll be remembered for when they die.

To his family, Buhari may have been a caring and loving father, but to many Nigerians, he was a colossal disaster.

Those who are alive today and actively ruining the lives of Nigerians and destroying the country should remember that they’ll be gone someday.

It is a sad commentary that Nigeria is cursed with kleptocratic dictators who are only out to steal, kill and destroy.

Our politicians destroy our country while enjoying their best lives abroad.

When they are sick, most of them seek medical care abroad. Many of them also die abroad and their corpses are brought back to be buried in the same Nigeria that they destroyed.

As Buhari faces the judgment of his maker, it is my prayer that those currently in power who are making lives miserable for us will realize that they will also face their eternal judgments. - Ibibehe Effiong

The Transition to True Love – Three Stages
Stage 1: Recognition of Ego and Self-Love
I become aware of my innate tendency to prioritize myself over others.

My thoughts naturally seek what is best for me, often at the expense of others.

This self-centeredness, or ego, drives a fundamental separation from others.

I observe that I want to dominate, use, or disregard others for personal benefit.

At this stage, love is impossible—what I perceive as "love" is actually attachment, desire, or dependence.

"I see how I think of myself first and others last. I recognize the ego in action."

Stage 2: Hatred of the Ego and the Desire to Separate from It
I begin to see the ego as the true barrier to connection, unity, and love.

My ego, once a trusted guide, is now revealed as the source of suffering and separation.

I develop a genuine dislike for my ego—not for myself, but for the force that isolates me from others.

I feel inner conflict: I still live with the ego, but I no longer want it to control me.

This is a painful but critical stage. It’s where transformation begins.

"I cannot love until I reject the force that keeps me apart from others—my ego."

Stage 3: Love Above the Ego
I no longer act according to egoism, even if it still whispers within me.

I consciously choose to rise above it, giving to others despite inner resistance.

True love emerges—not from the ego, but above it.

This love is unconditional, selfless, and connective—it seeks the well-being of the other as if they were me.

Paradoxically, only by confronting the darkness of ego do I discover the light of love.

"Now I can love—not by nature, but by choice. I act above my ego, and there, love is born."

Summary Insight
True love cannot exist within egoism. It is born only after we first recognize the ego (Stage 1), then reject its dominion (Stage 2), and finally act contrary to it (Stage 3). Anything that precedes this process is illusion, not love. @followers @topfans #kabbalah

“People know me as Osuofia. They láugh when they see me in movies, but many don’t know the other side of me.

Growing up, I saw how póor children sûffered just to go to school. Some had no shoes, no books, and no food. I told myself, “One day, if God blesses me, I will do something.”

Now, after all these years in Nollywood, I finally did it. I built a free school in Enugu — no school fees, no uniforms, nothing! Just come and learn.

I named it "Osuofia Foundation Academy" because I want to give back to the same society that gave me fame.

For me, true success is not in how many cars you drive, but in how many lives you touch.
