Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Did tactical votes defeat Kemi?

if loyalty to our nation
be to Boris Johnson treason
then let it be known

Charlie Palmieri : A Giant Step ( for dancing )

Is it any wonder that Prime Minister Boris Johnson has appealed to his people to "support anyone but Rishi Sunak" ? 

 We are to infer, that RS is the man who stabbed Boris in the back.

 Treason. 

History is busy recording the ongoing drama in which Rishi Sunak leads the rebellion ( the slew  of resignations) to depose his boss Boris Johnson the UK Prime Minister who appointed him Chancellor of the Exchequer , and from Prime Minister Boris Johnson's point of view, as soon as he was thereby so ignominiously forced out of office, Rishi Sunak the ingrate ( himself guilty of some of the infractions with which the dear PM is being tarred and feathered: "Amid the Partygate scandal, he became the first Chancellor of the Exchequer in British history to have been sanctioned for breaking the law while in office after being issued a fixed penalty notice for breaching COVID-19 regulations during lockdowns"), "sharper than a serpent's tooth",  the ingrate wasted no time in declaring  himself the Messiah / Saviour of the Conservative Party in general and the Messiah and Redeemer of the United Kingdom  in all particulars, the Messiah who is going to liberate his country (the UK) and the Brits from the shackles of debt and inflation.

So, we may well ask, ``how did Sunak bag the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer in the first place?". Well , " He ( Boris) has also, remember, cleansed his party of the wisest of them – the 'Remainers'; all except Truss" , according to Porter in "Boris's Legacy (and the Morning Star - and, by the way, in the latest opinion polls Labour is leading the Conservatives by a whopping 14 points...

"Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; truth isn't" - according to Mark Twain

When it comes to the autobiographical some of us are familiar with A mouth sweeter than salt, just as we know that for some people, "proverbs are the palm oil with which words are eaten"

Sometimes,  fiction is sweeter than facts, at other times it's vice-versa, i.e.uncontaminated & undecorated facts can be sweeter than fiction, myths. miracles and legends,  as in the scriptures.  Where do the facts begin and where does fiction end in this kind of tall claim :  

" Westminster Abbey was an ancient Hindu Temple /built on the site of an ancient Hindu Temple,"

Boris Johnson was appointed to the premiership by Queen Elizabeth II in a formal meeting at Buckingham Palace -  he was not "sworn in " by taking an oath of office on the  Bible at Westminster Abbey ( which incidentally was being claimed as an ancient Hindu Temple /built on the site of an ancient Hindu Temple,  and this was at the height of the Ayodhya palaver 

Perhaps, we are too colour,  too religion and sexual orientation conscious : Leo Varadkar of Indian heritage and openly gay , was Taoiseach ( Prime Minister ) and Minister for Defence of Ireland from 2017 to 2020.

Rishi Sunak's trajectory is perhaps a little more spectacular. First you lead the rebellion against the Prime Minister who appointed you to the highest cabinet position. Then you want to take over his job , which he has described as " the best jog in the world." It's a fast evolving drama, potentially of Shakespearean proportions, a n old Shakespeare type drama of five acts waiting to be played out. Whether it's a comedy or tragedy remains  to be seen. WE are now approaching Act 3.  If  it turns out to be a tragedy, what is Sunak's "particular fault"?  What's Boris's , if any? :

"So oft it chances in particular men

That for some vicious mole of nature in them,

As in their birth (wherein they are not guilty,

Since nature cannot choose his origin),

By the o'ergrowth of some complexion 

(Oft breaking down the pales and forts of reason),

Or by some habit that too much o'erleavens

The form of plausive manners—that these men,

Carrying, I say, the stamp of one defect,

Being nature's livery or fortune's star, 

His virtues else, be they as pure as grace,

As infinite as man may undergo,

Shall in the general censure take corruption

From that particular fault. The dram of evil

Doth all the noble substance of a doubt 

To his own scandal."

I suppose that Saddiq Khan on becoming Mayor of London swore his oath of office on the Quran without any issue raised in any quarters at all.

Somehow the world, including the Black World, the African world, is usually more interested in US Presidential elections. Even in this forum the flicker of hope that was ignited by Kemi Badenoch's prominence in the race has been more or less extinguished 

Around 160,000 or so Conservatives, 97% of them white, half of them over 65 years of age  are going to decide who becomes the next leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister of Britain. 

What Adam Raphael says in the latest edition of BBC Dateline London should put GG's heart at ease :

 " The other odd thing about it is maybe it's over before it's begun; you've got Liz Truss who is so far ahead of Sunak, that unless some incredible stumble along the way  - which is possible but is unlikely, she's going to have a bigger majority than Boris Johnson had over Jeremy Hunt… Rishi Sunak in particular is on the defensive , he knows that he is far, far, behind..."   

I had feared that GG was possibly hinting at Sunak's race and colour being a distinct disadvantage, as something that could not possibly advance his dream or ambition to lead the Conservative party to election victory in 2025 as their leader and commander-in-chief, and in the intervening years to lead Britain to greater glory as Britain's first Hindu Prime Minister to take the oath of office on the Bhagavad Gita instead of on the Church of England's Holy Bible.Even considering what the symbolism of the Union Jack represents.

It may be payback time, but I've had serious reservations about that happening anytime soon  not that the people of that great country ( Britain) have not much evolved from an earlier colonial era spirit unto a more global/ cosmopolitan mindset and outlook of the type that elected Barack Obama US President  - but of course mindful that that would not have been likely to happen if Obama  had not distanced himself from Rev. Jeremiah Wright  who instead of blessing had once fatefully preached against America the Great, and secondly at that historic juncture, there was no way Barack Hussein Obama was going to be elected  the next President of the United States if there was the slightest hint that he was going to take the holy Oath of Office on the Holy Quran instead of on Lincoln's Bible

Secondly, as students of colonial history, we all know that Britain is really not as " insular" as some detractors would like to see her and that ought to include anyone who is  conversant with Professor Porter's British Imperial - What the Empire Wasn't . Of acute relevance , the whole book, Chapter Six - " The Empire at Home" — fast forward  to e.g pages 130 -195 of that book, should do, beginning with 

" One other possibility , sometimes mooted, is that the British had to be instinctive imperialists because of their attitudes to " race". The idea here seems to be that because they regarded  "non-white" peoples as inferior, they felt it have them a right to annex and rule them. There is indeed plenty of evidence of casual racism in British society  throughout the imperial period ; and from about the middle of the nineteenth century of some proper "scientific" racist theories emerging. Those exhibitions of natives "natives" travelling the country undoubtedly encouraged the former, which was mirrored in children's books, comics, cartoons, art, even music ( John Pridham's Abyssinian Expedition, with its "Ethiopian Song" , the words of which are " Yah ha yah ha yah ha") , and a dozen other forms."

I don't have the stomach to post the latest blog piece feature in Porter's Pensées..It is far too hostile and cruel to the wannabe leaders  of  the British Conservative Party 

Still, all said and done, Rishi Sunak will readily agree that it should be easier for Sunak to become the UK's next Prime Minister than for a Bible thumping ethnic Oyibo Brit born and bred in India to be elected India's next President, any time soon…

I concede we would have had a keen context on our hands if the last two candidates were Rishi Sunak versus Kemi Badenoch. But that happens only in my dreams.


I do not have to think about it; I feel confident that Liz Truss is the next Prime Minister. That last vote was the final vote. With the two candidates left and the general Tory Party members voting, the result is as clear as daylight.

Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Nigeria to sanction the BBC

Of course, the democratically elected government of Nigeria is free to act and react to what's perceived as unjustified  anti Nigerian Government propaganda in ways that they deem fit.

The current Nigerian Government is unnecessarily attracting a lot of unwanted attention to itself by failing to let sleeping dogs lie. Last year it was Brer Buhari's disenchantment with Twitter, soon after Brer Trump had been banned from that platform - except that in Nigeria's case it was Brer Buhari that was doing or threatening to do the banning, ; just as right now it's not Brer Buhari or his information Minister Lai Mohammed that's ostensibly in trouble with the BBC, it's  the BBC that's  in trouble with Brer Buhari and Brer Lai Mohammed as a result of which Brer Buhari or is it Brother Lai Mohammed  that  is threatening sanctions on the BBC. These days the word " sanctions" is very much in the air, very much in the powerful peoples  vocabulary, and it's Russia that has mostly been on the receiving end, Russia, soon to be joined by the BBC from Buhari's  end.  Who knows, it could be punitive sanctions, economic sanctions, if the BBC is not careful. Maybe Nigeria will ban the BBC's Focus on Africa, until or unless the BBC repents/ promises not to do it again. If Nigeria's powers that be ban the BBC, na who go suffer?  

Maybe we need to have more of a national thick skin. Nigerian broadcasting ought to be able to make its own documentaries/ counter-documentaries to set the record straight?

If in doubt about the freedom of the word in e.g. India, then V.S. Naipaul's  India - A Million Mutinies Now  which has not been banned in India should settle the matter.The paragraphs subsequent to the line that begins "Only 33 or 34 per cent of the voters had voted for the victorious DMK party - on page Pages 217  also shows how even sages can be described with some irreverence, because India is not a theocracy; which does not mean to say that Indians are not sensitive with regard to Islam's laws that deal with blasphemy…. 

The BBC is also aware of what constitutes blasphemy  or ridicule in different parts of the world…

USA Africa Dialogue Series - : Loyola,John kayode fayemi and kennedys



Today is loyola day happy .founder's day loyola college  ibadan.july 31.
 During
my own days at Loyola college ibadan  the principal was father Michael Kennedy.i won't know  where he got  his name from.
Jacqueline  kennedy onassis former  first lady of usa  and the spouse of aristotle  onassis the greek  shipping magnate and then the world's  richest man waS born  on july  28 1929 .baptised  and confirmed and had her funeral at church of ignatius of loyola new york city.
So you can imagine  what was going on in my mind when I read in the nigerian tribune a report dated july 30 2022 that the 68/ 72 set of loyola college ibadan.seat of ignatius of loyola Chapel, had invited  the chairman givernors  Forum John kayode  fayemi  to commission  a building. Its not exactly know which day   .july 28?
John kayode fayemi has been variously  reffered  to as Jkf reminiscent of jfk standing for John f kennedy who was born on may  29 1917.may 29 the swearing in of nigerian president.fayemi very recently  was presidential aspirant! His wife bisi adeleye worked for a newspaper just like Jacqueline  kennedy.
