Fourth, after all the deft moves, canonical considerations and high-wire politics inside the hallowed rooms of the 15th century Sistine Chapel, the Catholic church picked a new leader to hold some level of balance in a changing world....

Long Live, CHINUA ACHEBE! The Eagle on the iroko.

By Chido Nwangwu, moderator of the Achebe Colloquium (Governance, Security, and Peace in Africa) December 7-8, 2012 at Brown University, is the Publisher of USAfrica and first African-owned, U.S-based newspaper published on the internet USAfricaonline.com

Africa's most acclaimed and fluent writer of the English Language, the most translated writer of Black heritage in the world, broadcaster extraordinaire, social conscience of millions, cultural custodian and elevator, chronicler and essayist, goodwill ambassador and man of progressive rock-ribbed principles, the Eagle on the Iroko, Ugo n'abo Professor Chinua Achebe, joined his ancestors a few hours ago, at the age of 82, in a peaceful and graceful transition in the warm company of his family.

Reasonably, Achebe's message has been neither dimmed nor dulled by time and clime. He's our pathfinder, the intellectual godfather of millions of Africans and lovers of the fine art of good writing. Achebe's cultural contexts are, at once, pan-African, globalist and local; hence, his literary contextualizations soar beyond the confines of Umuofia and any Igbo or Nigerian setting of his creative imagination or historical recall.

His globalist underpinnings and outlook are truly reflective of the true essence of his/our Igbo world-view, his Igbo upbringing and disposition. Igbos and Jews share (with a few other other cultures) this pan-global disposition to issues of art, life, commerce, juridical pursuits, and quest to be republicanist in terms of the vitality of the individual/self. 

In Achebe's works, the centrality of Chi (God) attains an additional clarity in the Igbo cosmology... it is a world which prefers a quasi-capitalistic business attitude while taking due cognizance of the usefulness of the whole, the community. I've studied, lived and tried to better understand, essentially, the rigor and towering moral certainties which Achebe have employed in most of his works and his world. I know, among other reasons, because I share the same Igbo ancestry with him. Permit me to attempt a brief sentence, with that Achebean simplicty and clarity. Here, folks, what the world has known since 1958: Achebe is good! Eagle on the Iroko, may your Lineage endure! There has never been one like you! Ugo n'abo, chukwu gozie gi oo!

Mandela calls Achebe a "great African writer and thinker"

http://usafricaonline.com/2013/03/22/mandela-calls-achebe-a-great-african-writer-and-thinker-by-chido-nwangwu/

The death of the grand-father of modern African literature Prof. Chinua Achebe is drawing several messages from some of the world's leaders, Nigeria's president, his friends, contemporaries and writers.

 A statement from the Nelson Mandela Foundation in South Africa has been sent to the family of the late renowned writer Chinua Achebe. It conveyed, on behalf of the Chairperson, Board of Trustees and staff of the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory, "our condolences to the family of Prof. Chinua Achebe, a great African writer and thinker, who passed away on 21 March 2013 at the age of 82."

Nelson Mandela, a friend of Achebe's and an avid reader of his works, notably once referred to Prof. Achebe as a writer “in whose company the prison walls fell down” -- a reference to Mandela's 27 years in apartheid South Africa jail.

Both men are known for their principled positions on issues of justice, opposition to bigotry, discrimination and commitment to fairness to all persons and support for progressive pan Africanism.

Long Live, CHINUA ACHEBE! The Eagle on the iroko.                                                           By Chido Nwangwu, moderator of the Achebe Colloquium (Governance, Security, and Peace in Africa) December 7-8, 2012 at Brown University, is the Publisher of USAfrica and first African-owned, U.S-based newspaper published on the internet USAfricaonline.com

http://usafricaonline.com/2013/03/22/long-live-chinua-achebe-by-chido-nwangwu/

Africa's most acclaimed and fluent writer of the English Language, the most translated writer of Black heritage in the world, broadcaster extraordinaire, social conscience of millions, cultural custodian and elevator, chronicler and essayist, goodwill ambassador and man of progressive rock-ribbed principles, the Eagle on the Iroko, Ugo n'abo Professor Chinua Achebe, joined his ancestors a few hours ago, at the age of 82, in a peaceful and graceful transition in the warm company of his family.

Reasonably, Achebe's message has been neither dimmed nor dulled by time and clime. He's our pathfinder, the intellectual godfather of millions of Africans and lovers of the fine art of good writing. Achebe's cultural contexts are, at once, pan-African, globalist and local; hence, his literary contextualizations soar beyond the confines of Umuofia and any Igbo or Nigerian setting of his creative imagination or historical recall.

His globalist underpinnings and outlook are truly reflective of the true essence of his/our Igbo world-view, his Igbo upbringing and disposition. Igbos and Jews share (with a few other other cultures) this pan-global disposition to issues of art, life, commerce, juridical pursuits, and quest to be republicanist in terms of the vitality of the individual/self. 

In Achebe's works, the centrality of Chi (God) attains an additional clarity in the Igbo cosmology... it is a world which prefers a quasi-capitalistic business attitude while taking due cognizance of the usefulness of the whole, the community. I've studied, lived and tried to better understand, essentially, the rigor and towering moral certainties which Achebe have employed in most of his works and his world. I know, among other reasons, because I share the same Igbo ancestry with him. Permit me to attempt a brief sentence, with that Achebean simplicty and clarity. Here, folks, what the world has known since 1958: Achebe is good! Eagle on the Iroko, may your Lineage endure! There has never been one like you! Ugo n'abo, chukwu gozie gi oo!

Dancing with "ghosts" of Boko Haram, President Jonathan, Sultan Abubakar and Nigeria's national security. By Chido Nwangwu

http://usafricaonline.com/2013/04/05/dancing-with-ghosts-of-boko-haram-president-jonathan-sultan-abubakar-and-nigerias-national-security-by-chido-nwangwu/

Chid...@USAfricaonline.com

USAfrica: Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan is yielding to pressure from some of the political leaders of the core northern section of Nigeria and the influential voice of the top Muslim religion leader, the Sultan of Sokoto Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, regarding their demands for an amnesty deal for the radical, violent Islamists Boko Haram.

In setting up a committee, as he did April 5, 2013, to reverse his previous position that his government would not negotiate with "ghosts" (his reference to Boko Haram), President Jonathan gave in to the reasoning of the leadership of the core Islamic northern Nigeria and hopefully minimize both criminal targeting of individuals/groups/ethnicities and religious conflicts in the area.

For many, Jonathan's back and forth and twists make him appear weak and indecisive and hasty but I think it's a national security move which might pay off, IF….

Worst case scenario, Jonathan's to and fro on Boko Haram will end up as an appeasement of another violent group and go down in history as a timid, faint-hearted gamble with the national security of Nigeria.

On March 5, 2013 in Kaduna, the Sultan asked President Goodluck Jonathan to immediately grant amnesty to all members of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, as a path to ending the violence unleashed on millions of Nigerians and foreigners by Boko Haram and its spin-offs.

Abubakar, who is also the President-General of Ja’matu Nasril Islam, JNI, said in 2012 that he preferred amnesty, arguing "That problem can never be solved by drafting soldiers into cities where there is [a] problem - and in the process innocent lives were lost…."

The USAfrica News Index on this issue and period (November 2011 to March 2013) show that Nigeria's President initially, it seemed, strongly disagreed with the call. On March 5, 2013, he insisted that "You cannot declare amnesty for ghosts." He made those comments in the northern Yobe state capital Damaturu.

The embattled President argued, in contrast, that those who argue he should extend to Boko Haram a similar amnesty of financial and peace deals (his government has continued with militants from his home state and region) should note that: "In the Niger Delta, if you call them [the militants], they come and they will tell you their grievances; but Boko Haram, I don't see anybody who says they are Boko Haram."

I think that beyond the simplification of the issue to "if you call them [the militants], they come" and claims of who is a metaphoric "ghost", Jonathan, somehow has mixed up the standing of the riverine militants with the Boko Haram zealots. For him, one comes if you call them; the other does not! I call it Dancing with ghosts… on national security.

I know that while the riverine Niger Delta kinsmen of Jonathan's fight over the environmental despoliation and destruction of their villages by oil pollution/leaks/toxic waste, the commanders of Boko Haram target, primarily, Christians in the north and impossibly seek the broad Islamization of the north and Nigeria.

Significantly, Boko Haram responded to the "ghost" reference: “As regards the statement by Mr. President that we are ghosts, let me say with due respect that we are not ghosts; we have sat with officials of the Borno State Government and a delegation of Northern State Governors’ Forum on Peace and Reconciliation, headed by Air Vice Marshall Mukhtar Muhammad (rtd.).”

Regardless, the recently split and scattered leadership of mainly the Islamic Northern Nigeria did not relent and give up while the President argued against any amnesty talks. Maiduguri and most of Borno were in tatters under the combined lethal and very bloody attacks by Boko Haram, its splinter groups and criminal gangs on one hand and the consequences of the raids by the Joint Task force of the government. Many of the key northern cities especially Kano, Kaduna, Bauchi, and a dozen others were subject to Boko Haram and/or Boko Haram related violence. [see special commentary Nigeria’s Federal Republic of Insecurity. By Chido Nwangwu, http://www.usafricaonline.com/2011/12/17/nigeria-federal-republic-of-insecurity-by-chido-nwangwu/

Again, the Sultan of Sokoto Sa’ad Abubakar III did not allow President Jonathan to close the book on the heated issue. He was a former Brigadier General in the Nigerian Army, and an acquaintance of mine via then Captain Gana when Abubakar was a Major at the 32nd Armoured Division of the Nigerian Army; while I was on national service in the NASE unit of the same location of the Nigerian Army.

The military strategist in Sultan Abubakar came to bear on the tangle with President Jonathan on restoring peace to the north and its residents. He rallied a number of influential traditional leaders of the core north and called a meeting and secured a resolution last Friday March 29, 2013 at his palace under the Northern Traditional Rulers Council.

Even as many of those leaders feared for their safety many months to date for Boko Haram related violence, they reiterated their call for Jonathan's government to reconsider its stand and offer amnesty to, not only, members of Boko Haram but other agitating Islamic groups engaged in violent acts but who are willing to follow a peaceful means to state their case. The statement issued by the coordinating secretary of the northern council who is also the Emir of Kazaure, Alhaji Najib Hussaini Adamu pointed to what it called the “unfortunate escalation of insecurity in the country.”

Let me note an important human, operational factor in the Boko-Jonathan-Sultan tangle that the Sultan's cousin retired Col. Sambo Dasuki is the National Security Adviser to President Jonathan. Dasuki, according to USAfrica multimedia networks sources, is on the same page with the Sultan in the efforts to secure some level of peaceful co-existence between Boko Haram, government and the rest of the north - including the safety of the Christian and mainly Igbo communities in the north who have been killed, according to some estimates, more than 1700 persons since 2011.

USAfrica and USAfricaonline.com can confirm that in 2011 and 2012, there were some informal contacts and unofficial dialogue between persons familiar with the feared Boko Haram and the Nigerian government; despite the denials.

The bottom-line is that Boko Haram violence and the issues of insecurity have remained very difficult for the Jonathan presidency to resolve that even his frank supporters and average Nigerians give him a poor grade. 

For many, Jonathan's back and forth and twists make him appear weak and indecisive and hasty but I think it's a national security move which might pay off, IF….

Worst case scenario, Jonathan's to and fro on Boko Haram will end up as an appeasement of another violent group and go down in history as a timid, faint-hearted gamble with national security of Nigeria. Or will Boko….

USAfrica: Chinua Achebe's work on earth was magnificently done. By Chike Momah.

His last book, There Was A Country, 

the story of Biafra, and of man’s inhumanity to man – was like a concluding and thunderous exclamation mark on his life as a writer! 

I stand, in humility, in the shadow of Chinua Achebe’s greatness and, yes, of his almost Biblical stature!!! In the language of the Bard: when comes such another?

ACHEBE lives as an immortal writer in our hearts and minds. By Chido Nwangwu

  http://usafricaonline.com/2013/05/22/achebe-lives-as-an-immortal-writer-by-chido-nwangwu/

USAfrica, Houston May 22, 2013:  Since 1958 — with the novel Things Fall Apart,  the great writer laid the foundation for what I call the power and permanence of Chinua Achebe. Between 1958 and 2013, amidst a body of first rate works, especially his 2012 blockbuster, There Was a Country: A personal history of Biafra; and a life of grace, Ugonabo Chinua Achebe, mgbadike, transitions as one of history’s great witnesses and chroniclers. Achebe will live in our hearts and minds as an immortal writer!

I believe that it is very important to note that the latest Achebe book on Biafra is a trans-generational scholarship across 333 pages, a historically valid insight,  a first-class work set in fact-filled narratives. Achebe’s courageous witnessing to critical events and rigorous documentation and interpretation of the bloody actions of 1960s and 1970s in the land of the Igbo, the country of Biafra, of Nigeria and the African continent elevated his place in history’s pantheon’s of great writers despite the hideous lies and campaigns of calumny by hired guns, shameless apologists for genocide, tribal distortion artists and ahistorical rascals who now, foolishly, yell at market squares that the sun does not rise from the east….

Obama's late to symbolic, historic meeting with Mandela. 

By Chido Nwangwu, Publisher of USAfrica in Houston. 

http://usafricaonline.com/2013/06/26/obamas-late-to-symbolic-historic-meeting-with-fit-mandela-by-chido-nwangwu/

Special to USAfrica multimedia networks, and CLASSmagazine, Houston.                                                                 @Twitter.com/Chido247, Facebook.com/USAfricaChido n Facebook.com/USAfrica247

Summary:                                                                                                                                                                    President Barack Obama, an inheritor of the global fruits of the multi-racial, progressive and inclusive works of Nelson Mandela (and others like Mandela), will never meet a very physically fit and totally aware Mandela. As a student of history, leadership and communications, I believe that Obama's handlers made an egregious error, a critical, even if symbolic failure to have planned and scheduled and executed since 4 years for the 44th President of the United States, the first African American to hold the most powerful office in the world to engage and fraternize face-to-face, to meet the same great man that the 51-years old Obama said he spoke to on the phone, a couple of times, in seeking his wisdom on a few matters.  I think they waited 4 years and more, too late....                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           ---------

USAfrica, June 26, 2013: Before he left Washington DC for Dakar, U.S President Barack Obama spoke about Mandela, on Thursday June 20, 2013, noting that: "we will be keeping him in our thoughts and prayers, and his entire family. He is as strong physically as he’s been in character and in leadership over so many decades, and hopefully he will, he will come out of this latest challenge. But we all recognize that he has given everything to his people, the people of South Africa, and to the people of the continent, and he’s ended up being an inspiration to all of us. When we think of a single individual that embodies the kind of leadership qualities that we all aspire to, the first name that comes up is Nelson Mandela."

As usual, Obama spoke very remarkable words, woven in pastel colors

But somehow, by the consequence of inadequate planning and limited foresight by his handlers, President Obama, an inheritor of the global fruits of the multi-racial, progressive and inclusive works of Nelson Mandela (and others like Mandela) will never meet a very fit and totally aware Mandela.

On the other hand, the outstanding First Lady Michelle Obama and her daughters visited Mandela in 2012 and had a great time.

As a student of history, leadership and communications, I believe that Obama's handlers made an egregious error, a critical, even if symbolic failure to have planned and scheduled and executed since 4 years for the 44th President of the United States, the first African American to hold the most powerful office in the world to engage and fraternize face-to-face, to meet the same great man that the 51-years old Obama said he spoke to on the phone, a couple of times, in seeking his wisdom on a few matters. They waited 4 years and more, too late...

I saw the great Mandela when I travelled with the White House media to cover then U.S. President Bill Clinton's historic visit to parts of Africa, March-April 2, 1998. I was in Senegal, South Africa and Botswana; and later Clinton's visit to Nigeria in late August, 2000. 

The most remarkable memory of my assignment trip  in Mandela's South Africa took place at a location President Obama will also visit this weekend: Robben Island. 

I’ll forever remember having walked inside and peeped through that historic Mandela jail cell (where he was held for most of his 27 years in unjust imprisonment) at the dreaded Robben Island, on March 27, 1998, alongside then Editor-in-chief of TIME magazine and later news chief executive of the CNN, Walter Isaacson (and others) when President Bill Clinton made his first official trip to South Africa and came to Robben Island. Come to this island of scourge and you will understand, in part, the simple greatness and towering grace of Nelson Mandela. at Obama arrived the mainly French-speaking west African country of Senegal on Wednesday evening June 26, 2013, specifically the capital city of Dakar.

He is accompanied by his popular wife Michelle Obama, their two daughters Malia and Sasha, and Michelle's mother Mrs. Robinson. There's a delegation of business and policy leaders who are part of the week-long, three-country visit which will include South Africa and Tanzania.

http://usafricaonline.com/2013/06/26/obamas-late-to-symbolic-historic-meeting-with-fit-mandela-by-chido-nwangwu/

The prominently excluded are his father's home country of Kenya, a few miles from Tanzania. Many Kenyans consider the decision a regrettable snub.

USAfricaonline.com was informed by a senior official in the U.S State Department in Washington DC that the schedulers of the trip did not want to "insert President Obama into the unfolding drama" and image politics involving the new president of Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta. Uhuru, son of the country's founding President Jomo Kenyatta, is facing charges of crimes against humanity from the ICC.

Nigeria, Africa's most populated country was snubbed, again, by Obama.

The highly-placed U.S diplomat told USAfrica that Nigeria's leaders need to be serious on the issue of fighting corruption. President Jonathan and his ruling PDP are protecting and keep granting amnesty to those who looted the country's economy. The later is a reference to former Bayelsa State governor (1999-2005), Diepreye Alamieyeseigha whose $700,000 home in Rockville (Maryland) was taken over by the United States government following this June 2013 order by U.S district judge Roger W. Titus.

Nigeria's President, in consultation with other leaders in Nigeria, took the decision to "pardon" the ex-fugitive Governor.

Nigerians were unhappy that Obama was a few hours away but ignored their important country in 2009.

From July 10 to 11, 2009, President Barack Obama chose instead to be in the west African country of Ghana, assessed by the U.S government as "one of our most trusted partners in sub-Saharan Africa." The additional goals of the visit, according to the Obama White House, will be "to highlight the critical role that sound governance and civil society play in promoting lasting development."

Obama became America's third president to visit Ghana since 1998, and at the time, his second official trip to the African continent. The geo-demographic fact is that his first trip was to Egypt on June 4, 2009, where he spoke about Islam and democracy, rights of women in Islam and modern society, extremist variants of Islamic theologies and the challenge of peaceful co-existence.

Yet, even as the snubbed countries complain and express their disappointment about Obama's destinations during this trip, the difficult and gradual decline of the health of a bigger political personality, global icon, statesman and freedom fighter, South Africa's almost 95 years old former President Nelson Mandela, has cast a long, significant shadow over Obama's Air Force One in Africa.

Imagine this for a moment: Madiba Mandela embracing and raising Obama's hand, as a trans-generational message. Long Live Nelson Mandela!                                                                                                                                               •Dr. Chido Nwangwu, moderator of the Achebe Colloquium (Governance, Security, and Peace in Africa) December 7-8, 2012 at Brown University in Rhode Island and author of the forthcoming 2013 book titled 'Mandela & Achebe: Footprints of Greatness'  www.MandelaAchebeChido.com, is the Founder & Publisher of Houston-based USAfrica multimedia networks since 1993, first African-owned, U.S-based newspaper published on the internet USAfricaonline.com;  CLASSmagazine, AchebeBooks.com and several blogs.

Femi Fani-Kayode is a bigoted, anti-Igbo tribalist
By Femi Aribisala

The Fani-Kayodes are not from Lagos. They are from Ile-Ife in OsunState. Femi Fani-Kayode’s only legitimate claim to Lagos is that he was born there. But then so were many Igbos who are, therefore, Lagosians. Moreover, Igbo-Lagosians have one up on Femi Fani-Kayode. They live in Lagos. Femi Fani-Kayode does not. Igbo-Lagosians work in Lagos and pay taxes to the LagosState government. Femi Fani-Kayode does not....

USAfrica: At 80, Dr. Alex Ekwueme is philosopher and king; visionary and practician…. A tribute by Chido Nwangwu.

http://usafricaonline.com/2013/08/24/at-80-alex-ekwueme-philosopher-and-king-visionary-and-practician-by-chido-nwangwu/

“To honor him whom we have made is far from honoring him that hath made us.” It was Michel de Montaigne, the 16th French Philosopher and Writer who wrote those magnificent words. I think and know His Excellency Dr. Alex Ekwueme is one of those who hath made us. 

Those were my first response and words of acceptance of the request to me that I serve as keynote speaker at this August 24 international event celebrating 80 years of a great, impactful and purposeful life. 

Ide Alex Ifeanyichukwu Ekwueme, born October 21, 1932, is both philosopher and king; visionary and practician; philanthropist and resourceful.

USAfrica special Insight: Will Preview of Nigeria's 2015 elections emerge from Anambra governorship votes in November 2013? 

By Prof. Okey Ndibe, contributing Editor of USAfrica since 1995.

  

Special to USAfricaonline.com,  CLASSmagazine  and USAfrica multimedia networks, Houston.

Anambra State is set, it appears, to act as dress rehearsal for Nigeria’s next round of general elections in 2015. For some inexplicable reason, the state’s political experience holds up a mirror to what used to be termed Nigeria’s “nascent democratic experiment.”
