Nigeria: a country devastated by its "wealth"
Source: The Lighthouse on the World
The Nigeria it is a country larger than France and Germany combined, with above 170 millions of inhabitants who lead a miserable life (54% of the population below the poverty line) despite being above a sea of petrolium (extraction, although slowed down by many problems, it is approximately two ml of barrels per day) and say gas; and said incidentally, this is where 80% of tax revenues come from and the 95% of exports, because the rest is the desert. The GDP, which is the second largest in Africa, it is divided in the most unequal way not only among the people (the rich are there, yes!), but also between regions (which are called states there) and region and between ethnicity and ethnicity. And there are many ethnic groups in this state (circa 250!) cut, like many in Africa, based on the whims of the colonialists (they were English there); the most important are five: Comment (21% of the population), Igbo (18%), and Ijaw (10%) who are in the south; Hausa Fulani (20%) it's Kanuri (4%) who are in the north.

Christians taking to the streets in Vietnam against the communist regime
by


Catholics on the streets in Vietnam, a Binh Thuan, ad Ha Tinh e Vinh, for example, with rosaries, Vatican flags and banners, to protest against the granting of land to the Chinese communists and against the liberticidal law on cybersecurity, authentic Internet censorship: anyone who connects to Catholic sites risks prosecution.Law enforcement has already made thousands of arrests among protesters across the country, the regime has already threatened harsh repression. Which did not intimidate the Church: the Bishop emeritus of Kontum, mons. Michael Hoang Duc Oanh, also asked President Tran Dai Quang in writing to respect the will and rights of the people, to release those who have been arrested, as well as thus maintaining social peace.
The Bishop Emeritus also criticized the priests who are members of the National Assembly, completely regimented and for this reason they expressed themselves in favor of the new regulation on the web: "They betray our faith and our country", said the Bishop. Read More

Libya in the hands of traffickers now looks to Italy for a turning point
Source: The Lighthouse on the World
Migrations for Libya and from Libya are still a problem and, to pay for it, it is the same local population. “The Libyans want the immigration phenomenon to be stopped”, Jamal Adel tells us, a boy who is part of the Tebu tribe in Kufra in the south-east of the country.
“It would be a great thing if the new interior minister Matteo Salvini could stop the migration problem", another boy who requested anonymity for security reasons and who works for an organization that monitors conflicts in Sebha tells us, a town destroyed by human trafficking.
The boy then adds that “few newspapers are interested in what Libyans think about the migration phenomenon but, actually, we want this phenomenon to stop because it is seriously damaging our country".
Mac K. B. Simpsons, Ghanaian and migration expert who lives in Tripoli, he tells us: “It is important that this trafficking is stopped before the migrants even enter Libya”.
For many Libyans the problem is to be found above all in the NGOs operating in the Mediterranean: “Traffickers rely on NGOs, it has already been proven that they collaborate. They also feed the Libyan and Italian mafias", says Adel. Read More

The confession of the Tunisian who has just landed: Salvini is right "we are ex-convicts"
by

Of Maurizio Blondet
Clash between Salvini and the Tunisian government over the words of the Minister of the Interior.
It's a shame that the Tunisian illegal immigrants themselves confess to being ex-prisoners who were 'pardoned' and loaded onto boats:

Tunisian prisoners pay 1.000 euros to board the ship to Italy. This is told by a young witness who from Ventimiglia is waiting for a passer to take him to France. Because I'm already in Ventimiglia.
He shows the Matrix correspondent the videos of his trip, then those of the English ship that saved him and brought him to Messina. When asked if the story of the pardon that opened the prisons in his country, allowing many criminals to arrive in Italy, is true, he answers yes. At least 2700 prisoners released in the last three months in Tunisia. Read More

A country with a brain in smoke (of cannabis)

A country with a brain in smoke (of cannabis)

A country with its head in smoke: This is one of the emergencies that the new government will have to face, without wasting too much time. On the consumption of cannabis and its derivatives, marijuana and hashish, Italy is at the top of the charts. His young people (dai 15 ai 34 years) they joint the 6% more than the European average; and this also leads to peaks in smoking and alcohol consumption. A sick youth appears, weak, insecure, scared. Anyone who works with teachers knows this well: Accompanying pupils on school trips is now at multiple risks, illnesses among children, complaints from hoteliers, accidents and unforeseen events of all kinds, not always without deaths, then told in the news. But adults don't joke either: here too we are at 32% against the 26% of EU average. Contrary to the slogan dear to the elites: “the joint does nothing” (and the psychedelic painter Matteo Guarnaccia already made a cartoon about it in the 1990s: “who knows how bored he is”), all this smoke leaves traces first and foremost in hospitals: il 15% of new users end up in treatment for panic attacks and out-of-control states. Also because people don't even know what they smoke: the THC level increased by more than 10% in 10 years. If there is a borderline situation, on the border between psychosis and “normality”, with a couple of joints it suddenly slips where it shouldn't (and “royalty”). Read More

BIG GUY: IF THE VATICAN RECOMMENDED MATTARELLA'S TORPEDO TO THE LEAGUE-M5S GOVERNMENT...

Of Marco Tosatti
Big Guy – who has important contacts on this and the other side of the Tiber – it foreshadows a disturbing hypothesis, that is, that the Holy See communicated to the Quirinale a message of support for the constitutional forcing operation aimed at derailing the hypothesis of a Lega-M5S government, which had a solid parliamentary majority. If we take into account the statements of the president of the CEI Bassetti, of those of the general secretary Galantino and of the fund of the director of Avvenire, Tarquinius, which is one of the journalistic and media expressions of the latter, and Antonio Spadaro's tweets, director of Civiltà Cattolica, the rumor or hypothesis, call it what you want, It's absolutely plausible. Perfectly in line with the policy of contiguity adopted by the top bishops towards Renzi, he PD, and the left in general; the new collateralism. But let's see what Pezzo Grosso writes about it.
“I must declare that after the so-called government of President Napolitano in 2011, I understood the message clearly: elections serve exclusively to measure the political maturity of a people. If these people demonstrate immaturity, must be helped not to make mistakes. The European government of the Ventotene manifesto applied in practice. Read More

Italy, it doesn't work that way: a country of poor young people who survive on the money of the elderly

Eurostat data tells us that 1 Italian on 3 is at risk of poverty, more and more families depend on the pension of some seniors 65 e aumentano i “working poors”. A situation of widespread poverty that makes any welfare policy difficult. The only solution is investments and (Good) Work. (Of Gianni Balduzzi, LAWS)
