Group condemns slave auction of Nigerians in Libya

Neo Black Movement (NBM) has condemned human trafficking and slave auction of Nigerians and other Africans in Libya.

In a press statement issued yesterday, the organization's president, Felix Kupa stressed the need for communities and families to take the initiative of encouraging their children and wards to pursue education, apprenticeship and trade instead of embarking on journeys that often end in death, rapes and other forms of evils.

He urged the government to collaborate with community leaders, parents and other stakeholders to address the problem. He said "the organization has engaged some communities in Delta State (Warri, Ughelli and Efurum), partnering with the leaders to discourage the youths who embark on such deadly trips."

Kupa also condemned the recent video showing Nigerians and other Africans being sold into in Libya slave market. He disclosed that the Neo Black Movement will write the Libya High Commission in Nigeria, through their legal adviser, to seek full briefing on the video.

He said the movement is already in contact with the law enforcement agencies to get approval to lead a peaceful protest to the National Assembly and the Libya High Commission. This peaceful protest by the members of the organization will be carried out in every part of the world where Libyan Embassies are located, he said.

He urged the Nigerian Ambassador to Libya, Isah Aliyu to live up to expectation by ensuring that the life and properties of every Nigerian in Libya is protected. He called on the African Union and United Nations to quickly intervene and bring the perpetrators to book.

Why Obama won’t give the Ferguson speech his supporters want

President Obama's statement, delivered moments after St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch rendered the grand jury's verdict , was a plea for calm. It was steady and evenhanded. Obama recognized the fear and anger of both sides. He called for calm. He argued that the two sides here were, in a sense, one. "Nobody needs good policing more than poor communities with high crime rates," he said. And, in doing, he disappointed many who had hoped to hear something more impassioned, more outraged, from the president:

"LIFE" This life is a lesson for those who understand it. To climb the ladder of this life and to get to the top is not an easy tax,when you get there,to retained that top position is not as easy as you climb to that top. It can take 2 to 3yrs for somebody to overcome his predicament, downfall of a man is not the end of his life. Life is up and down.no permanent place for human beings on this earth,that's why we see young boy of yesterday speed over the older ones. there was a time money was coming into my hand,they gave me the respect and the honour that I deserved,once u lack,they will rant,shout at you talk back at you look u down nearly ask u to come and clean their sheet even ask you to go to hell, to the extend of asking you to life their home. They will remind you what they did for you at the past,if at all you never ask them to flashback. If at all from nothing you still find means to make them happy. In did life is a teacher.

If you did that with your boyfriend, things would start to get a little weird.      GOSSIP Your boyfriend doesn't really care about all of the intricate details of the lives of people he doesn't know, especially celebrities, but your girl friend will always be there to listen to any juicy details you have just found out.
