WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Lagos – Gunmen have kidnapped two German men in Azumini, Abia State, the second abduction of foreign workers in the last 10 days. security sources said yesterday.
According to an agency report, the two men, aged between 45 and 55, were abducted while at a local beach in the oil -producing Abia State.
“The Germans were kidnapped at Azumini Beach strip at Imo River as they were heading to their vehicle,” a security source said. “This was likely an opportunist abduction as there was no security around, just a local driver.”
Police could not immediately be reached for comment. The German Foreign Ministry said it was aware of the reports of the kidnapping and was looking into the incident.
Kidnappings for ransom are common in the Niger Delta, home to Africa’s biggest oil and gas industries, with hundreds of incidents reported each year. Most victims are released unharmed after a couple of days.
Foreign firms, ranging from oil to construction to telecoms, are forced to spend millions of dollars a year on security for their staff because of the high crime in the Niger Delta.
Four Syrian and Lebanese construction workers were kidnapped on April 9 and released five days later in Abia state. It was not clear whether a ransom was paid for their release.
For years, gangs targeted primarily expatriate workers but recently wealthy Nigerians have been more common victims.
In neighbouring Rivers State, police said a Nigerian couple was abducted on Sunday in Eleme, near the country’s oil hub Port Harcourt.
