Uju Ndubuisi Chukwu was Deputy Director-General of Chartered Insurance Institute of #Nigeria (CIIN). In South Africa to attend the conference of the African Insurance Organisation (AIO), she was found dead in her hotel room in Jburg on 13 June. Today we ask #WhoKilledUjuNdubuisi?
The night before her body was found, Uju, who was lodged at the Emperor's Palace Hotel & Convention Centre had attended the closing dinner of the AIO Conference. Her colleagues who were with her saw her healthy.
#WhoKilledUjuNdubuisi
The Emperor's Palace Hotel where she stayed & died is less than 5 Km from the OR Tambo Int'l Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa, which markets itself as a secure, safe destination for rest, relaxation & major events.

Whn Uju's body was found 13 June, the belief initially appeared to be she had suffered a sudden death overnight. However, on 20 June, following autopsy, South Africa's Dept. of Home Affairs issued a #DeathCertificate saying she had died of #UnNaturalCause
#WhoKilledUjuNdubuisi
The #DeathCertificate was the 1st indication that Uju Ndubuisi may indeed have been killed. This was confirmed in a separate document issued by South Africa's Dept of Health on 27 June, where they confirm that the autopsy revealed she had been strangled.
#WhoKilledUjuNdubuisi
Essentially, sometime on the night of 12-13 June last month, someone had entered Uju Ndubuisi's room at this Emperor's Palace Casino, Hotel & Convention Centre & strangled her to death. Surely, you would expect that the hotel wld be keen to ask & know #WhoKilledUjuNdubuisi
Rather than join in finding an answer to #WhoKilledUjuNdubuisi, a valued guest, Emperor's Palace Hotel has stalled & stonewalled. The hotel Management is unwilling or unable to provide access to CCTV images & other evidence that may help investigations.
thenationonlineng.net/ciin-deputy-dg…
South African authorities, having received no co-operation from the hotel, are now moving to close down investigations into the question #WhoKilledUjuNdubuisi?
Everyday, we get stories of #Nigerians residents slaughtered in South Africa. The story of #WhoKilledUjuNdubuisi is not just another addition to morbid statistics. She traveled for work & was killed in her hotel room. Finding her killers shd not be that impossible.
The ppl who killed Uju Ndubuisi denied her teenage child of a loving mother. Her family lost an invaluable daughter & #Nigeria lost a stellar professional in her prime. @ProfOsinbajo & @MBuhari have a duty to ask @CyrilRamaphosa the simple question #WhoKilledUjuNdubuisi?
In this release by the Chartered Institute of Insurance of #Nigeria #CIIN, Colleagues who were with Uju Ndubuisi on her fateful last trip to the AIO Conference in South Africa tell of their last encounters with a much loved colleague

1 good thing abt the on-going controversy over #RUGAMania in #Nigeria is it has brought attention back to what cn be done to address the herder-farmer crises. Since ystrday, a few more ppl have askd me abt the National Livestock Transformation Plan #NLTP. Here's a little more....
The #NLTP process began in 2016 led by @AuduOgbeh's Fed Ministry of Agriculture & with support from the Vice-President, @ProfOsinbajo, who chairs the National Economic Council (NEC). The NEC, in turn, includes all state governors in its members.
The struture & process was inclusive. Consultations took place at state & zonal levels, culminating in a national conference 11-15 Sept 2017 in Abuja with over 770 participants. The National Conference adopted a report which was transmitted to @AuduOgbeh in December 2017

Some ppl are asking me why I say @GarShehu's statement of yesterday on #Nigeria's #RUGAmania was an artifice. All u need to do is take a copy of the National Livestock Transformation Plan, #NLTP & u'll not struggle to find out why. Here's an intro to what the Plan is about....
There are various categories of ppl involved in the #RUGAMania conversation. There're those who:
(a) won't do their home work
(b) can't do their home work
(c) cldn't be bothered abt home work
(d) are allergic to facts
(e) are genuinely curious.
Only the last deserve attention.
The #NLTP development process was long, careful & rigorous. It involved zonal level consultations, a national conference, a scientific report, a mapping process & selection of the 7 frontline states - Adamawa, Benue, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Plateau, Taraba, & Zamfara.

St John's Anglican Church, Igbein, Abeokuta, was founded in 1947. Its 1st Vicar was Samuel Ajayi Crowther, Herbert Macaulay's grand-dad. It is a truly historical piece of architecture with unique character & dating from well b4 #Nigeria was thought of.
#SaveStJohnsIgbein
In any sensible country, St. John's Igbein will be a protected or listed building be an acknowledgement of the historical character of the building & will make it difficult to simply destroy the building at a whim
#SaveStJohnsIgbein
bradford.gov.uk/environment/li…
Rather than do this, some Philistines in Cassock have decided that the church needs to be uprooted & replaced with a new piece of garish architecture. The idea of knocking down St. John's Igbein or disposing of it wld be unimaginable in a civilized country

#Nigeria’s GDP slowly picking up since the oil price crash of 2014-16 - up 1.9% in 2018 (0.8% the year before). And last quarter of 2018 was best in years at 2.4% - but not fast enough to deal with Unemployment
If we look at Nigeria's economy and compare it to other oil exporters - it's better than some (Eq Guinea in Africa, Venezuela in Latam), and worse than others. But none have done great since the oil price fall began in 2014
We think Nigeria will do better in the next four years - as we said in this thread - because oil prices won't repeat the fall of 2014-16 (nominally they can't fall $80 from peak to trough). But policy choices will determine *how* much better Nigeria does

How Europe Raped Africa

The Berlin conference of 1884 is where European colonising nations basically carved up Africa. Historians refer to it as “the scramble for Africa”.

#Africa #Europe #WhiteSupremacy
The countries represented at the time included Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, #France, #Germany, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, #Russia, #Spain, Sweden-Norway (unified from 1814-1905), #Turkey, and the United States of #America.
The Conference of 1884–85, also known as the Congo Conference, regulated European colonization and trade in #Africa during the New Imperialism period and coincided with Germany's sudden emergence as an imperial power.

So, this convo about qualifications of this curator position for African art at the Brooklyn Museum has gotten me thinking about #SaturnInCapricorn. I would love to know if Brooklyn Museum purposely sought out qualified candidates of color, especially of African descent.
But I also can believe, per even the little I know about the Art AND Archeology field, since both new curators have degrees in that field, that there aren't many sisters & brothers in that field. We are not plentiful in all areas of academia & cultural institutions.
Yes, some of that is systemic racism and based on the root causes of systemic racism. That I've never questioned. But there's another issue here, too. Some folks also don't play the long game, either. That's #SaturnInCapricorn.

South Africa votes through motion to seize land from white farmers without compensation!

This is what the Democrats want in the US. They want Trump out so they can complete their plans.

Redistribution of land. The people who work hard for their land now have it stripped from them to give to the poor. Once everyone is poor, government has all the power. How can anyone not see this for what it is?

South Africa‘s parliament has passed a motion that could lead to the seizure of land from white farmers without paying them compensation.
