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.

Abuja – Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), which claimed responsibility for the October 1 bomb explosions in Abuja, yesterday threatened more bomb attacks on the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) with President Goodluck Jonathan and his campaign team as the new prime targets.
The militant group said in an email message yesterday, that it will henceforth target the President Jonathan campaign organisation.
The message signed by Gbomo Jomo said: “We hereby repeat our warnings to the residents of Abuja, the heart of the country and to all persons who will be interested in attending the political campaign organized by the President, Goodluck Jonathan.”
Detailing reasons for the decision to now target Jonathan and his campaign train, MEND said “this is due to the split he has initiated in our country.”
The group also warned that it will no longer entertain enquiries about its activities but would henceforth issue only warning and notice of attacks.
MEND, which said such enquiries were becoming a security threat to it, warned also that the continued detention and prosecution of its members would be fought head-on.
“The arrest and detention of our respected brothers of the land and the assassination of their character has become a great concern that cannot be ignored,” it said in the email.
MEND had after the October 1 bombings warned that it would soon lift the veil on its ceasefire agreement with the federal government, adding however that it will focus more on military installations in the Niger Delta.
Though it had said in an electronic chat with Daily Champion that President Jonathan was not the target of the October 1 bombing, MEND also warned against the prosecution of its former leader Henry Okah, who was arrested in his South African home and is currently facing charges relating to the Abuja explosions which left 12 persons dead.
Though Okah had maintained his innocence with regards to the attacks in Abuja, his prosecutors think otherwise.
On Monday, Okah’s September 18 entry in his personal diary was tendered before the court in South Africa, alleging that his entry that it is’ fight-to- finish’ was a reference to the Abuja bombing.
The South African police had also disclosed that a raid in Okah’s home revealed links with the Abuja bombers, though Okah maintains that his prosecution was mainly because he refused to do the bidding of the federal government which, according to him, had wanted him to get MEND to withdraw its claim of responsibility on the October 1 bomb explosions.
Meanwhile, the state security services (SSS) said yesterday that its investigations in the 50th independence anniversary bombings in Abuja have yielded fruits as the first set of suspects, immediate-elder brother of the leader of MEND, Mr. Charles Tombra Okah and four other suspects would be charged to court.
The secret agency which assured that unlike previous investigations in the country, this time around, it has “cock-sure evidence” which is why the son of a former and controversial impeached governor of one of the south-west states, is also on its net as one of the major suspects.
Briefing newsmen on the development, spokesperson of the SSS Merilyn Ogar, who did not spare the media over reports on the incident, said: “The person who drove and coordinated the vehicles brought into Abuja for the bombings; one who directly coordinated the bombings with Okah; the individual at whose house in Port Harcourt the vehicles were wired for detonation and from where they took off for Abuja and the one that confirmed to his accomplice that he had completed the job, immediately after the bombings, are with us.
“Charles Okah (brother to Okah), one of the known users of the name ‘Jomo Gbomo’ and four other suspects would be charged to court accordingly,” she stressed.
She said though several Nigerians were investigated by the SSS in the course of unraveling those behind the bombings, that it did not mean that they were directly or indirectly involved.
The SSS spokesperson said people who politicized the issue did not help matters and had promoted insecurity in the country, which “remains a serious concern to the SSS”.
She said the agency would not be deterred in its duties, and urged Nigerians to be more security conscious and note what goes on around their environments.
