The Games People Play

For someone who seems to be in a lot of trouble you sure smile a lot…
Nigerian terror accused Henry Okah was arrested at his Johannesburg home on 2 October 2010 and was charged with, “engaging in terrorist activity and delivering or detonating explosive.” Detonating explosive devise all the way from Johannesburg wonder what the code for that is +#39#*666BOOM?
Somebody should share this information with Al-Qaeda; it will spare them a lot...

The bombing took place at Nigeria’s fifty-year independence celebrations in Abuja and sadly killed twelve.
The attacks were claimed by a group called MEND, Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, citing the purpose of highlighting the inequalities and exploitation of oil production in the Delta. Hmmm?
Makes me think of the Looney Tunes, “Good Idea, Bad Idea…”
If MEND certainly is responsible their next album won’t be going platinum.

Okah has been labelled the leader of MEND, which he denies. His bail application went on record for being the longest bail application in the history of South Africa. Bail was denied, appealed and denied, even with the states failure to produce concrete evidence linking him to the crime.
As if the South African judicial system is not overloaded with child rape and murder cases that happen within its borders…
Seems South Africa has been purged of its “Afro phobia”; coined by our very own police minister Comrade Mthetwa; because we seem to care some much about peace and stability in 9ja, even after the number 419…
Have South Africa and Nigeria have just partnered in an elaborate political tango? According to Okah, yes. He alleges his arrest is a result of his failure to cooperate with his president Mr. Goodluck, in asking the alleged MEND bombers to withdraw their claim over the attack with the purpose of implicating political opposition in the run up to presidential elections in April 2012. Maybe he told Jonathan to take of that silly hat…I don’t know…Perhaps his insistent innocence is the reason why he is appears to be a little chilled all the time. 


Whatever the truth is and the outcome of this case, the alleged MEND leader is left powerless beyond his Delta Creeks and entangled in a judicial system that only serves the comrades in black, green and yellow...




Yes I said it...
