The World Orders

This today's New World Order has barely produced the seed for the sustenance of future Order and Security because it is deeply rooted in the Old World Order; only coated with gold, though inwardly it is falsehood. Hence today's New World Order becomes a Modern World Order like the Modern Nigeria that must soon be destroyed for the emergence of the True New World Order built on true: Truth, sovereignty, equity and justice.

Third Term—the Obasanjo Syndrome…ambition and the place of God

I recently read a post in a blog (multibrand.blogspot.com) concerning President SBY of Indonesia ambition to run for a third term despite the constitutional provision for a two term period and it seems just like yesterday to me. Obviously the Obasanjo’s Syndrome seem to be creeping into the hearts of leaders abroad wanting to tow the third term line by all means to perpetuate in power. Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo was in power from 1999-2007 and at the tail end of his administration it was obvious the old man already brought in a new lexicon into the Nigerian polity by sponsoring groups to chant and sing his praises that he alone can run the country and he alone is the messiah that can do it all.

Military Rules of Engagement in Peace Mission

To say that the rules of engagement in every peacekeeping mission be reviewed is an understatement. A military peacekeeping mission is a combat operation by itself; therefore I see no reason why the UN would send soldiers to volatile regions against volatile militias or rebels while keeping the noncombatant policy knowing that they would be attacked by the fighting forces. We all witnessed the shameful slaughtering of the AU/UN joint forces in Darfur some years back; how soldiers hand guns in their hands, with their eyes opened while they were being attacked by rebels yet they could not fight back because of the policy that puts them in bondage.
