Another attendee was overheard telling the ambassador in a private conversationthat the end result of WalMart Stores might be a situation whereby more foreign made products mostly from China will now be sold to Nigerians at cheaper prices--to which local Nigerian manufacturers will not be able to compete.

RE: WALMART:
WE WERE ASLEEP WHEN THEY CAME
BYIFUEMI ADEPOJU
Good morning my people,
How are you all today?
I hope you all slept well?
All the same I must ask.......
My people are you sleeping.....???.....
Please we cannot afford to sleep......
The sleep is not even sweet.......
Because it is about to happen again.......
My people !!!!........
Please wake up and run......
Or else we would be shackled once more.....
Wake up and run........
We'll sort the details out later....
But now, it's time to RUN.....
Maybe this time we would fly......
We must not be shackled once more
My people wake up and run.....
Please can someone please in the name of our father in heaven tell me what's happening again?
Please what's all this?
Why must we have the Walmarts, Tescos and Asdas of the white man?
Why can we not create our own Walmarts.
Natwest did not have to come to Nigeria for Guaranty Bank to exist.
These people just want to milk us and take away our legacy as a people.Why do we not encourage our own people, our own sons and daughters at home and in Diaspora by giving them an opportunity.
Guaranty Trust Bank I believe is wholly Nigerian.
I do not see any oyinbos "dragging" it with us.
Guaranty Trust Bank came to be because some investors gave Mr Aderinokun and Mr Adeola the opportunity.
Why do we not give our own sons and daughters opportunities to make them grow and shine?We want our own Nigerian creations.
Nigerians are hardworking , industrious and highly creative people.
We do not need to follow the white man's template.
If we do not encourage our people our own brand names will never appear in the global market.
We also want to create brands and take to the western world.
Why must they always be the ones bringing us their brands?
We must develop our own brands.
We must grow.
We must succeed.
Nigerians are people with very high standards. Unfortunately, our own government does not encourage us.
Nigerians are admired by many other African Nations
We do not need Wal-Mart.They keep portraying a negative image of us in their press
Yet they come behind and want to exploit our people
They are not coming because they love us
They want to come because they heard they can make money from us
The same way they came and took our people away because they needed free labour to build their countries
The same way they colonized us after the abolition of slavery.
Now...this is a new tactic. A tactic different from that which they adopted when they first came.
A tactic more cunning than giving our leaders gunpowder, alcohol, mirrors, guns and religion. My people are you still sleeping?
They came, stole some of our ancestors, by hook or by crook , robbed us of our beliefs and self pride.
It is so bad that we cannot even think in our own language anymore.
How many of us would tell me that when we think, our thoughts are not in the language of the colonizer?
How many of us would tell me that when they dream at night, their dream is in their Native African Language.
Even our Children are not speaking our languages anymore.
We have long lost relatives we would never know
Long lost relatives who suffered much pain and humiliation
Relatives who will never know home
Taken away forever.....
Because we were asleep when they came......
Oohh..., we were asleep when they came earlier.....
We were asleep in the 15th century when it all started...
Setting villages ablaze and conniving with betrayers of our own race
In the late 19th century they said we could go free.....
But...have we ever been free..?
If we were really free why then did our grandparents have to fight for independence..?
In the 20th century our grandfathers got us "independence"
But alas...we refuse to be independent
In the 21st century, we are still lurking in decaying crevices of global gloom
We keep lurking in the shadows and backyard of the white man..
Looking up to him like abandoned orphans of colonialism.....
Dying to be enslaved once more....
Because we were never really free....
Please what's happening to us as a people?
What are we doing to ourselves?
Please someone stop this carnage.
We must lift our own people from the dregs of the global society.
Someone please help.
God please come to the rescue of our race and continent
Please someone tell me where do we start?
God please, when and how will our people succeed?
God please when would we really know and appreciate our strengths as a people?
God please when are we going to learn to live for each other?
God please when are we going to learn to think of "us" first?
God please ...I see Nigerians as intelligent people.........
God please show us the way so we do not make the same mistakes our ancestors made
God please guide us because we must wake up from this slumber...
A nightmare riddled slumber.........
God please Africa is sleeping while the rest of the world is flying , protecting their own , taking from the uninformed and planning for the future where they would be comfortable.
God please help us so our race does not continue as the Archetypal Negro Mugu
God please help..........It's about to happen all over again.......once more we are about to be sold out and oppressed in the name of development.
God please help........
God please do something fast.........
We must not be left in the dustbin of life...................
God please ........................
It's me,
Ifuemi Adepoju................
My people..please..wake up..

At this rate, I frankly see no hope for Nigeria or Africa ever being LIBERATED from PERMANET SLAVERY is all its GLOBALIZED and evr mor SUBTLE FORMS!
And the worst part of all this is that our "Professor Opressors" turned oevrnight "Ambassadors" like this Yeye Adefuye are the New Plantation Overseers, having been turned into MODERN-DAY PORK-CHOP House Niggers!
We MUST all rally together to do something about this NONSENSE and do something about these all these mis-educated HOUSE NIGGERS who will gladly sell even their OWN MOTHERS into SLAVERY - if the PRICE is right!
No WAL-MARTS in Nigeria MUST become our BATTLE CRY!
Nigerians want a CHEAP and EASY way to MODERRNIZATION and TECHNOLIGICAL DEVELOPMENT - just like they want easy paasage to a FAKE HEAVEN merely toting around worthless bibles!
Well, I have NEWS for them:
There ain't NONE!
A dozen PASTORS will live in HEAVEN on Earth as Billionaires, while while a Million GULLIBLE FOLLOWERS living in unimaginable POVERTY pick up the tabs!
Wal-Mart will employ 500 Nigerians as cashiers and stockers and menial laborers, cleaners and refuse carriers with maybe half a dozen figure-head "Nigerian Directors" doing NOTHING but living high of the HOG while a MILLION Nigerians will fall back into languishing in total and abject POVERTY!
Is this really what we want for the future of our land...?

A friend returned to Nigeria sometime ago and asked me to help get some land to do a factory.He was interested in producing baby wears.I warned him to reconsider his decision to go into production in this kind of environment.
He went ahead. By the time he rolled out,his cost of production was higher than the prices of imported baby wears in the market!

Dr Kassim sir:
Greetings and long time no hear. How is this our Ontario summer that can't seem to make up its mind to be fully summer treating you? Ambassador Adefuye is talking plenty nonsense. The moment the idea to open a neighbourhood Walmart germinates in some capitalist's brain in the US or Canada, you know the stringent process of community/environment impact assessment that immediately kicks in. You know it takes years and hundreds of townhall meetings with poetntial host communities before Walmart actually gets to move from conceptualization to building a store. In Nigeria, Walmart is already "set to open locations in Abuja and Lagos" and Ambassador Adefuye is making feel-good noise about taking peoples opinion into consideration in Washington. Who did they consult before they arrived at that part where they are "set to open stores in Abuja and Lagos"? After sharing the booty in closed door meetings as usual, Ambassador Adefuye is doing medicine after deatn in DC. Awon oni ranu gbogbo.
Ambassador Adefuye had better watch it. If I know Nigeria, Walmart has already bribed the usual suspects in government in Abuja (a la Siemens and Haliburton) to secure rights to their locations in Abuja and Lagos, to secure tax concessions they will never get in the US, Canada, or China, and, most importantly, to clear local businesses and ordinary Nigerians comot for road. Those usual suspects will recall Ambassador Adefuye if he continues to make yeye noise in Washington and he will know that man pass man.
I don taya for Naija jare.
Pius

Dear All:
WalMart Inc. is set to open its first two locations in Africa in Lagos and Abujafollowed by a third in Johannessburg SA after the evaluation of the sucessof the Nigerian oerations. This information was disclosed by Prof. Adefuye,'Nigeria;s Ambassador to theUSA during the cloing gala dinner at the NIDO Americas Inc. AGM held in Chicago on Saturday, July 25, 2011.Even though there was some applause from the audience when the ambassador initially disclosed the initiatives from WalMart,during his keynote address some of the attendees later expressed their concerns about this development in private conversations withthe ambassador as he did not take questions from the audience after the conclusion of his address..A few attendees walked up the Ambassador's table to register their objections regarding the proposed WalMart.locationsTheir concerns centred mainly on the possible devastatingimpact the WalMart stores would have on neighbourhood businesses especially the smallmama and papa stores. Another attendee was overheard telling the ambassador in a private conversationthat the end result of WalMart Stores might be a situation whereby more foreign made products mostlyfrom China will now be sold to Nigerians at cheaper prices--to which local Nigerian manufacturers will not be ableto compete. Another attendee, a resident of the Chicago area, opined that residents in Chicago surburbs are stillfighting to prevent WalMart from moving into their communities.Ambassador Adefuye responded that he is quite willing to take into consideration written comments fromDiaspora Nigerians regarding the proposal to setup WalMart Stores in Nigeria starting with two flagship storesin Lagos and Abuja.Any one with strong opinions--for and against-- should contact the Nigerian Embassy to the USApreferably in writing to register their views for and against the propsal form WalMart.We are under democratic governance. The citizenry should theoretically have a voice into what comes into theirneighbourhoods! And that is if the foundations have not already been laid and construction started on the WalMart Stores in Lagosand Abuja--in which case the complaints will be arriving after the horse has left the barn.Bye,Ola
