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.

Owerri – AT least, there are 50,000 unexploded war time bombs buried in different parts of the South East, the Ministry of Defence has said.
This was as Humanitarian Deminers from the Ministry of Defence Abuja charged with the responsibility of removing landmines, bombs, unexploded ordinances and explosive remnants of war has however, recovered another set of 151 multi purpose rocket propelled mortar bombs from Isiuzo in Enugu state.
This was contained in a release made available to Daily Champion in Owerri yesterday by the office of the Deminers at Mine Action Centre Owerri. The release stated that Major Bala Yakubu’s team of deminers have so far recovered over 17,000 live bombs in the war affected states in Nigeria and stock piled the bombs at the mine action center Owerri.
The release also quoted Major Yakubu (rtd) who is the Chief Consultant to the Ministry of Defence on Humanitarian Demining project as calling on Igbo leaders to stand up to their responsibility by urging the federal government to pay more attention to clearing the war affected states of Nigeria of bombs, unexploded ordnances and dangerous explosives remnants of the Nigerian Civil War to make land safe for use in the South East and South-South.
Yakubu said Ndigbo are actually being marginalized in the country because the people of the race are reluctant to ask for their rights in the Nigerian state pointing out that forty years after the war ended the people are still dying due to explosive remnants of the war which they still live with.
He wondered why Ndigbo who suffered the loss of lives and property as a result of the civil war should be subjected to further losses years after the war.
He called on Nigerians to persuade President Goodluck Jonathan to fund the total clearing of Igbo land of unexploded ordnances (UXO) and all sorts of dangerous explosives remnants of war which they still live with to save the lives of the people.
Meanwhile, zonal commander Police Anti Bombs Squad Police Headquarters Enugu, ASP Dappa Sogbere who was said to have briefed Yakubu on the recovered 151 multi purpose Rocket Propelled Mortar bombs in Enugu said the people of the South East and South-South zones in Nigeria are living on time bomb which may explode very soon.
