Norway: Shock, indignation and finally confusion.
-Introduction:
Horror, horror, purposeless horror; whether horror ever has a purpose; in Norway. Norway! No not Norway; a country that has not appeared in the news for anything for a very long time. For a gun man to shoot 93 people dead in a peace haven like Norway does pose serious questions of conscience. What could have engineered this 32 vegetable seller to become a mass murderer? It is said that he belonged to an extremist group. Does extremism always mean wanton killing of innocent people? We understand that this handsome looking guy is Christian. So what this program calls Bin Ladinism is not limited to Muslims. It has always been with us manifesting itself as world wars, gulf wars, the massacres of the Indians by the British, the massacres of the Algerians by the French , Terrorism in Mumbai, India is topping the charts etc..
-Diagnosis.
We looked at the face of this Norwegian vegetable seller on “France 24 tv” and we could see frustration with the society, hopelessness or put differently, extreme stress that drives men and women into madness. The sort of stress that destroys the conscience; like religious brain washing that turns men and women into ware wolves.
-Life:
Let us begin this session by thanking the almighty God, for giving you and me the privilege of another day. Those unfortunate people who died in Norway have no story to tell in this physical world.
What you and I must learn is that human life is sacrosanct. This program continues to believe that until all religions imbibe this principle where human life is untouchable and this must be taught and learned from Day care and in every school. As long as human life is not given the sacred value which it deserves, by every human being; the world will continue to be in turmoil and we shall continue to shed tears as human beings will be slaughtered by blind violence, by single individuals, terrorists organizations or terrorist governments and states. All human beings must learn to recognize the line where the liberty of others begins.
-Conclusion: “thou shall not kill thyself or another human being”.
This program wishes to convey our heart felt condolences to all those who lost relatives in the unfortunate killings in Oslo, Norway. We pray that the Almighty God will intervene and prevent future occurrences.

Jingle:
Madness has gripped Norway.
One mad man has given the whole nation’s peace no way.
In Oslo there is bloodshed
Relatives of murdered victims’ tears shed.

My heart is full of sorrow and pains.
For the many who have lost their dreams and their lives’ gains.
They lie in a pool of blood .
Their lives taken away from them in a bullet flood.

Let us rise like one man and stop this violence.
Because you and I deserve to live in peace.
And all this blind violence must cease.
To the people of Norway I send my condolence.

SOMALI AND FAMINE
Introduction:
-Famine is not a new occurrence. In the holy Bible we hear that a certain Joseph son of Jacob interpreted a dream to one of the Pharaoh’s of Egypt in which Joseph told the latter, there will seven years plenty followed by seven years of famine. The Egyptians of those days set about preparing for the seven years of famine.
-Somali and war.
The Somali people have lived in that area since the beginning of time and must have heard from their parents or grand parents about draught and famine. Instead of putting hands together at times of difficulty like these, the Somalis continue to fight a useless war that has no place for the thousands dying of hunger and migrating to refugee camps. Why don’t the Somalis stop this war and use the money to dig pot holes, irrigate the land; so as to supply the water that is needed by the people.
-Foreign donors.
Like the old adage goes, teach them how to fish. In order to fish one needs water. International donors must think of how to provide water to the Somalis, and not only drop food from aircraft. The Muslim nations of the Middle East and Africa must quickly think of the quickest way of stopping the foolish war going on in Somalia. The government and Alshab are all muslin factions and should draw inspiration from the ‘hilal” in the Koran.
-Children of Somalia
War has no reward
Peace is the only way to move forwards.
The people who chose war are cowards.
At this juncture, war moves Somalia like any where else, backwards.

Stop the blood shed.
So that we can stop tears being shed.
We pray to Allah to us in His wings shade
Evil must from our hearts fade.
All Somalian’s must join the Peace motorcade.

We pray to the all mighty Allah, to give you peace.
So that all the blood shed may cease.
All Somalians must meet together in a dance.
To celebrate when peace would have been given a chance.

South Soudan:Welcome to independence.
Introduction:
Jubilant crowds in Juba today remind us of the independent scenes in Africa beginning from Ghana in 1957 and following on to many other countries in the 1960's. South Soudan have all the ingredients that result in civil wars like in Nigeria after independence, petrol, multiple tribes and religions, and above all greedy politicians) There is even a grumbling civil strife in the petrol rich region, Abye.

-Independence also means reponsibility.
The questions South Soudanese must begin to ask themselves amidst all this jubiliation is whether there are ready to take the responsibilities that are incumbent on independence. What we mean is do they have leaders who are ready to Unite the new nation and particularly take care of minorities especially in the petrol rich region? We all wish from the bottom of our hearts not to see the Delta emancipation wars of Nigeria transfer themselves to South Soudan.It is our hope that the new leaders will not behave like their peers in the 1960's lining their puckets with all the petrol wealth and allowing

-What South Soudan needs now.
South Soudan needs free quality education at all levels. Teachers can be imported from Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon etc in a well coordinated program to initially train the trainers etc . South Soudan needs to use its petrol wealth to provide free health, cheap housing services to all its citizens. The petrol money is there and must not be used to swell of shore accounts.South Soudan must immediately set up a transparent system of tracking its petrol wealth and chanelling it to benefit the population.
It is extremely important that South Soudan develop a vibrant private sector by providing interest free loans for people to develop small scale industries.This will absorb the many jobless young people. It must now pay attention to agriculture which is the bed rock of any future economy. Democracy means providing food and shelter to people, and we would like to warn South Soudanese leaders to avoid the sit tight mentality of African despots. They must give way to new leaders instituting and maintaining limited terms in office.

-The crystal ball
South Soudan will require a pipe line across Kenya to reach the sea, so as to transport its petrol quietly without any head ache from the North.
We can see the Chinese, the Americans and Europeans juggling for contracts, a beautiful scenario for bribery and corruption.Very soon South Soudan will go to the International Monitary Shylock to borrow money, if its leaders are not patriotic and prudent. Imagine a country like the Ivory Coast, rich in petrol and cocoa resources has started borrowing again. South Soudan beware before the colonialist pretending to be your friends, drag you into eternal poverty with unimaginable debts. They are already hovering above like hawks watching chickens on the ground.

Conclusion.
This program wishes South Soudan the best and we wish again to enjoin its leaders to learn from all the mistakes made by the rest of Africa after Independence and use the petro dollar to give its citizens an El dorado, or should we say, turn South Soudan into the Kuwait of Africa. Our people say that, "if a man is walking in front of you and falls down, you must find out what tripped him before continuing your journey".

The creation of man.An appeal to all human Beings, religions and governments on Earth.
Key expressions:God-given right; transform all military schools into schools of agriculture, collective will to live together in Peace.
When God created man as distinct from other animals; He had in His mind that, man will be eternal after physical death. "Let us create man in our own image". This God image imparts the following characteristic:
Eternal life after physical death.
Most religions believe in life after physical death. The question that all religions must answer is, what is the quality and quantity of that life in the spiritual world? You and I hear that, there is a place of penitence or hell; for evil men and women and a place of enjoyment; heaven for good men and women.
The problem here is that, different religions list out their own standard criteria for going to heaven. Let me take the suicide bomber which is a topical issue at the moment. What can motivate a man or a woman to tie a ring of bombs round his/her body to kill oneself and kill others in order to become a martyr, in other words, go to heaven prematurely for a noble cause on earth.
The questions we must be asking ourselves are,
(i) what is the fate of those killed by suicide bombers after executing his/her own death and that of others?
(ii) What is the fate of those who instruct and patronize suicide bombers?
Strangely, these patrons, instructors and their children do not wear bombs. It is the children of others that are coerced into killing themselves and others.
I want to say it categorically: if we are talking about having a reward after death for actions done on earth, killing another or one's self is certainly not one of those acts that will be rewarded with good tidings.
If any body out there things otherwise, use this multimedia medium to convince me and others still wondering why someone will want to go to heaven by destroying the physical life of others.
Every one you see out there is created by God with a physical and spiritual purpose. Life on this earth; even in the womb; is an inalienable God-given right. God is the only one who should end that physical life. This is a piece of 21st century pure scripture that, all religions on earth must imbibe. Every human being irrespective of color of skin, creed or religion, class in society, gender has the same value before God. The variety (religious, racial, class, gender etc) we see around the whole earth is designed by God.
Physical life and a purpose.
In order to live this physical life, God has decided to put us into communities. Human beings have carved out nations from such communities. Certain things are necessary for the survival of the entire humanity. These are peace, tolerance, love for neighbor and enemy alike, common feeling for the good living for all human beings, respect and preservation physical life and the care of the environment.
On earth today, the scourge of war within and without countries hangs over all peoples. Some even play with nuclear weapons like rats playing with groundnuts.
Some major world powers who claim civilization, democracy etc. manufacture and sell weapons of war and mass destruction. Some big nations behave like gigantic terrorist organizations; sponsoring and executing wars in far away lands in the name of bringing liberty and democracy to those peoples. They waste large sums of money hunting down other human beings with advanced weaponry. Is this faith? Do these men /women practice a religion? Some say they are born again Christians. I am certain that, their actions in declaring and executing wars do not in any way, relate to Jesus Christ.
Let us laugh: An American President who has just been handed a Nobel peace price says:" I am ready to use force". Does he talk before he thinks? Force to kill human beings? This ridicules the peace price Mr. President. Would it not have been better for the world in which you and I live, if a man of that status had the courage to say: "I am going to send my emissaries to invite the Iranian president and grand Ayatollah for a cup of tea in Washington D.C.?
I want all the factories making machine guns in America, Britain, Russia, France, China, Brazil, India, Iran, Spain, Italy etc., to transform and produce ploughs; those making hand held guns to produce insecticide spraying machines. All military aircraft must transform into civilian use.
I want all soldiers in all countries to be reconverted through schools of agriculture into farmers. All war efforts should be transformed into gainful collective activities for all humanity. Poverty, joblessness, hunger, in all countries of the world will disappear instantly. The civil strives in countries like Greece which have become the last credible nation on Earth will find an instant solutions.
People need shelter, health care, education and food not bombs military and bullets. Mr Assad of Syria must learn that his people are hungry and that is why they are rising against him. If he continues to brutally murder them, history and the Bible tell us that, his days are numbered.
Our physical life should have a purpose and meaning.
All nations must develop a collective desire to live in peace within and without ,and harmony. This will only happen when the resources of the earth are put together at fighting poverty, hunger and disease, instead of executing meaningless and stupid wars like the Gulf wars or the Israeli Palestinian conflict.
These provocative questions are designed to bring home this message: that no man or woman shall take their own life or that of another under any circumstance. Life on this earth is a God-given right to each human being, and no person, group of persons, community or country should under the pretence of religion, politics, and economics; threaten or take away that life.
Every human being has the right to aspire to a good life. How each individual goes about it in this physical life should not be the business of another. Some in the name of a religion even tell you what clothes to wear; Saudi Arabia does foolish thinks like preventing women from driving cars.. The spiritual world beyond has no dressing code.
Conclusion
I want to say this in conclusion, all religions, all races, all classes of human beings, all genders must collectively live together; find strength in our diversity. We must ban all wars and all war efforts must stop immediately. The production and sale of military hardware and soft ware must stop immediately.
Human beings irrespective of nation, religion, race or gender must put themselves together to fight poverty, disease, ignorance, homelessness and hunger. The purpose of our physical creation by God is to prepare ourselves for the arduous tasks in the spiritual world. You and I must therefore, learn to live together in our different ways.
Good will, akin to God’s will, compassion, tolerance, collective will to live in peace etc. must be the hallmarks of all human existence and must show in all human dealings with each other.

NB: Our audience should actively take part in this living debate on this website. Put forward all ideas that will make the world a better and safer place for all of us.

Hezbollah controls Lebanon.
Introduction:
It is good to hear that an organization like Hezbollah is now in a governing majority in Lebanon. Its violent Leader Mr Nasarawah must now realize that being in government; one takes a responsibility before God and man. Even enemies of yesterday like Israel must become friends of today. Hezbolla now has a unique opportunity to encourage Lebanon to make peace for ever with Israel. It is our fervent desire to see Hezbollah become one of the pillars of peace in the Middle East and we wish them well.
Peace as weapon of war.
All Religious Faculty will begin to consider Peaceful coexistence with other nations as a rock basis for international relations. This means that freedom fighting organizations like Hezbollah, Hamas once in government must change their strategy from a war organization to a peace making government. Peace has to begin with a profound or volcanic transformation of the minds of the freedom fighters that must abandon guns and bombs and replace them with Peace as a weapon of war. Yes, peace as a weapon of war and we can tell you that, this is greater than even the neutron bomb. No one on both sides of the dispute will die, no infrastructure will be destroyed.
Lebanon and Israel will be thinking of how to put their common resources to the benefit of both nations. Mr. Nasarawah will use the fire inside him to drive the peace process between Lebanon and Israel. It is an historic opportunity for him to make history. White hair on some body’s body in Africa is considered as a sign that God has allowed the person to live long enough to acquire wisdom. African wisdom dictates that peace is always better than war, because no one ever wins a war. Mr Nasarawah’s white beard tells us that, he is a wise man and must now choose the path of peace and be able to love his enemies in Israel.
Iran:
Talking of white beards, the molars in Iran must now tell themselves that God did not live them to stay on Earth to engineer war and distress. They must be thinking of making Peace with Israel and even with America. Or does the brand of Islam they practice prevent them from making peace. All Religions Faculty would like to encourage the molars to find the parts of the Koran that talk peace and promote those in their dealings with America and Israel.
Alquaeda:
Al Zawahira has become the main man in Alquaeda replacing Mr Bin Laden WHO WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED BY AMERICANS. The question that lurks the mind of a normal human is whether no one can learn from the twin tower suicide deaths (3000) of September 2001 and the subsequent revenge massacre of Bin Laden? Violence has never paid any body. Mr AL Zawahiri has also got a white beard akin to wisdom. All religions Faculty would love to see Mr Al Zawahiri turn the spiritual direction of the organization he now leads by 180 degrees. All these years since he was 15 years old, he must have learned that violence against other human beings has not paid any dividend. This man has been linked to the murder of Mr Anuar EL Sadat of Egypt.
All religions Faculty will like to give Mr Al Zawahiri a bitter pill to swallow. HE HAS TO DO THE UNTHINKABLE BY GOING TO ISRAEL TO NEGOTIATE PEACE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE. We can say here that time is not on your side, so you have to hurry up to make beautiful human history. From a purely religious point of view, every human being has been specially created by God and sent to this earth with a mission. Such a mission is certainly not killing oneself or killing other human beings for what ever reason. You and I must spend time on this earth building bridges of friendship even with the worst of our enemies. Mr Al Zawahiri has enormous God given qualities. We even learn that he is a medical doctor. If this is true sir; look at your inner self and you will find that little something which attracted you to medical school at the end of which you must have sworn an oath to save humanity. Let this appeal strike your spirit like the lightening that stroke Paul in the Bible on the way to Damascus and he became Paul and also the most prolific writer of the New Testament of the Bible transmitting the Love of Jesus Christ to millions of his time and milliards for generations to come. This also goes true for Americans who have left their country to go to far away places like Afghanistan to foment trouble. Americans read the commandment: "thou shall not kill human beings" even from drones from your bibles, and go back home and work on the farm instead of assasinating innocent Afghans. We also anticipate that Hezbollah will bring good tidings to the people of Lebanon and the whole Middle East region by installing a climate of peaceful coexistence with its neighbors including Israel.
Conclusion.
We all have a very short time to live on this earth. When we die, each of us will require certain virtues in the spiritual world which we can tell you is not very far away. These include love of even enemies, generosity, hard work, forgiveness, gratefulness and worship of the creator etc. Let us spend tie on Earth cultivating these virtues.
