Threats to food security in Africa intellectually deciphered! Nigeria’s big push to grow its own coconuts as the nation eyes export of the product to America through New York, informs IITA Spokesman in America

“We have the favourable weather to plant and get the best out of it. So we should be exporting instead of importing.” IITA foresees Coconuts from Nigeria as ideal food for all Americans, shipped through New York.

Straight From The Heart: You And I Coming Soon; But It Will Not Be The Sound of Udo And Rosemaria or a Sick Relative in New York from 2013.

Africa, The biggest CIA/NASA face farce and facial recognition puzzle has to be out of the Bronx in 2013 and Benin City, Nigeria from a cousin and my home keeper named Udo, thereafter all because of what happened to our son, a probe from behind by his sick Mom, and before that the disappearance and murder of his pet and before that in May 2013 my hacked Colonoscopy. Connect the dots and an unbelievable American tragedy unfolds.

Why? Because We Know That all the images from America are dangerously false and that Udo’s Image Was Captured On one of those Days When He Was Taking a Bath Outside In A Secluded Area of the Family Compound.

So why should that be a concern? Of course it is an extreme privacy violation and Because his image was captured from the skies, well known to President Jimmy Carter.

They Obviously forgot President Carter is my neighbor and that he gets the same Intel Report. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/24/us/jimmy-carter-racism-baptist-conference-unity-donald-trump.html

So Why Should This Be Of Concern To The Nation?

Because it does not make any sense and Because Through Devilish Technology We Believe That Body Parts Of a relative in New York and Udo, and probably intercourse with his girlfriend, have been transferred to people in the USA that do not know him.

People should be held accountable for AI and algorithm errors, rights commissioner says; and why America Is Haunted By Flawed FaCial Recognition Tech. Exceptional AI from a freelancer for The Guardian of London. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/people-should-held-accountable-ai-algorithm-errors-rights-edokpayi/

Is this identity crisis, that may also include driver Moses and guard Ime in Calabar, a problem? Of Course Yes, because Udoh is my fourth cousin, and because there is no problem with the foundation of my biological family!

So this is A Genocidal Crime If For Instance His Body Part Has Been Stapled To Any Family Member Here, Or a name like White Harry from Vacaville, embellished by hacked images from a Colonoscopy and Sigmoidoscopy procedures at Kaiser between 2012 and 2013.

I Do Not Think A Leader or Covert Operative Should Be Shielded From Such A Blatant and Genocidal Crime. There Is Just No Excuse! Since the death of Kimberley Porter, I have lost a son, a half brother and my niece at West Hills, Los Angeles on December 29th. And believe it or not each one of these deaths are all linked to a White Supremacy Scheme That makes Absolutely No sense! https://lawandcrime.com/impeachment/somebody-should-go-to-the-slammer-for-this-legal-experts-shocked-and-appalled-by-dojs-ukraine-redactions/?fbclid=IwAR3IYEXT0-tZOhXSRiuC_Kv4RPs2of5NfUZATYdsdZu19_rmT2Zh3lAdBtg

I spent my 18 months hiatus in Nigeria between 2013 (after what happened to my son; a back stab by his Mom) and 2015 in a spiritual rebirth, and my freelance work for Tell, The Vanguard Newspapers and The Nation is what kept me focused.

So what where they thinking with the Udo and Imaikop table frame? Was this another unbelievable lie channeled through the ex as a cover up for the September 2013 blasphemy? Just another dumb scheme!

Former Commissioner Jim Akhere is my next door neighbor and good friends with my lawyer Brigadier General Donatus Ikpomwhen.

What an assurance to have a prominent scholar and former State Commissioner of Water Resources, Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs as my neighbor.

Picture shows I and former Edo State Commissioner Jim Akhere having morning coffee at his home, soon after he returned from a trip to the US Embassy.

He is an American citizen. Jim has been our neighbor for 32 years. Unfortunately our neighbor passed away in 2020 from Corona. I spent some time with him and my lawyer Brigadier General Donatus Ikpomwhen before I left in 2018.

According to him the neighborhood is safe, Well in the past few months there has been some scare. I was told some hoodlums tried to break in in search of gold. Thanks to my neighbor who fired into my compound to scare them away in 2020.

Akhere whose home has a bird’s eye view of the neighborhood, returned from the US, where he retired as a Business/Environmental Law Professor at North Carolina State University, which is best known as the alma mater of Michael Jordan.

The last of his four children is an undergraduate at Columbia University in New York. The seat to his right is General Ikpomwhen’s seat when he visits Jim Akhere. They all know about 2013.

The Sounds Of A City

Here is a result of the Creative and Serene atmosphere at GrandMa’s House.

By Ben Edokpayi

Oh the rhythmic sounds of the city that rouses you up

at the break of dawn and stirs you from slumber at night.

From birds squealing ceaselessly from tree tops

to dogs barking at everything that moves and imaginary neurotic sounds,

and the hum-drum clickety-clacks and high-pitched howls heralding the

passage of itinerant tailors and scrap-metal scavengers,

along with food and newspaper vendors up and down the boulevard.

On the hallowed grounds of a neighborhood compound, the

return of a cagey bogeyman at odd hours of the night

is broadcast by the rattling of a metal gate, as well as his

dingdong chime of Cece Winans “Mercy Said No” returning to his other half

Maria on the floor.

And the occasional loud thud o’er a deified metal roof of cocoNuts.

Then how do you fathom another relative who stumbles out of the bathroom naked and has a penchant for moving things around the house without my permission. You wonder if the bogeyman and Ettekamba are on teleguided missions. Or if they are just planted gangsters?

Then the one that is worrisome; the staccato gunshots at night

and sometimes at high noon, that tell of a city in turmoil,

followed by the occasional siren from patrol cars that reminds

that there is at least some order amid the city’s byzantine chaos.

Out of this cacophony you hear the pleasant

banter and laughter of children as they make their way to school.

And how you long for an era gone by when a city’s

innocence and sense of decency was as resplendent as that of a child.

Oh, the tell-tale sounds of a city, somewhere in the heart of Nigeria.

In the photo, Cyprian Ekwensi, Nigeria’s most prolific novelist, is shown autographing one of his books for me during the 1982 edition of the International Literature Conference at the University of Calabar. Among Ekwensi’s works are, Iska, The Red Flag, Restless City and Christmas Gold, King for Ever!, Divided We Stand, Survive the Peace, Lokotown and Other Stories, Masquerade Time, Jagua Nana, Trouble in Form Six, Juju Rock, The Passport of Mallam Ilia, Burning Grass and People of the City. Lalah, the so-called bogeyman in this poem, is my nephew Udo and caretaker of our home, who has a penchant for returning home late to his sleazy girlfriend who should not be mistaken for anyone else. He has been warned by the Aideyan Police Station not to bring any strangers to my house. While home last year I invited a plain clothes male and female Police detectives who took him to their station for interrogation. He has been warned. Kate, There is no problem at home.
