The latest gist my gbeborun ears have heard is that the heart throb of the ER, George Clooney has been designated U.N. "messenger of peace" to promote U.N activities. In the footsteps of Jolie some might say but i wont even go there. lol!! Anyways Congrats George!!
The thing that really did set me to thinking is that Militants in Nigeria's restive oil region on Saturday invited actor and peace activist George Clooney to visit the area and asked for U.N. intervention in their conflict.
Would you go?
"Mr. Clooney, MEND ( Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta) extends an invitation to you to see things for yourself and is willing to work with you and other credible peace makers of international repute to stop Nigeria from plunging into the abyss of war," the group said in a statement e-mailed to reporters.
Mo gbe!! I never knew that some people were planning another Biafra o!!
Nearly 200 foreign workers have been kidnapped in the region in the past two years; they normally are released unharmed after a ransom is paid. So why this sudden 'cry for help'? I personally don't trust it. Do you?
I think it is something the U.N office in Nigeria should look at. That way it will be people of local knowledge trying to solve a problem not a complete international 'georgie just come'.
Anyways we jump the gun i think in this matter because neither George nor the U.N has made any statement concerning the demand. We'll just keep watching as the matter unfolds.

Mo gbe!!! They should not have another Biafra o. They have not even told the complete story of all the Igbos that died that time and now, they want to wipe out the riverine areas as well?
I hope it is just another cry for attention and not a direct threat sha 'cause the words 'abyss of war' are a little strong!!
Make them no fight o!! I have dreams of going back home.
