Maxwell Chikumbutso, is a Zimbabwean self thought engineer who invented a hybrid Helicopter who also developed a green energy technology which, he asserts, is revolutionary because it converts radio frequencies directly into clean and renewable energy.

For many years he engaged the Zimbabwean government for permits which would play a big part in his mass production agenda.

He wanted to compete with Europeans, Americans and Asians in this innovative sector.

After finding no success with the Zimbabwean government he was poached by the US government.

His new home now is California.

His two seat helicopter is so unique that it can operate with 6 different types of fuels.View attachment 2103538

Even the worst economies of Africa now have more valuable Exchange rate than us.
As at today $1 = ₦480?

₦1,000,000.00 is less than $2,100.00.....and some think that we have not reached the breakpoint??

Putin (Russia): Lawyer

Biden (America): Lawyer

Merkel (Germany): PhD Physical Chemistry

Xi Jinping (China): Chemical Engineer and Doctor of Law

Ghanian President: Doctorate holder

Buhari (Nigeria): WAEC not found

Today Nigerians are arguing about another man who doesn't have FSLC, WAEC or any educational qualifications but wants to lead the whole country as president. Maybe the devil that was cast out of heaven fell directly into Nigeria.

What Nelson Mandela said to Nigerians in 2007

“You know I am not very happy with Nigeria. I have made that very clear on many occasions. Yes, Nigeria stood by us more than any nation, but you let yourselves down, and Africa and the black race very badly. Your leaders have no respect for their people. They believe that their personal interests are the interests of the people. They take people’s resources and turn it into personal wealth. There is a level of poverty in Nigeria that should be unacceptable. I cannot understand why Nigerians are not more angry than they are.
“What do young Nigerians think about your leaders and their country and Africa? Do you teach them history...?

“What about the corruption and the crimes? Your elections are like wars. Now we hear that you cannot be president in Nigeria unless you are Muslim or Christian. Some people tell me your country may break up. Please don’t let it happen.

“Let me tell you what I think you need to do. You should encourage leaders to emerge who will not confuse public office with sources of making personal wealth. Corrupt people do not make good leaders. Then you have to spend a lot of your resources for education.

“Educate children of the poor, so that they can get out of poverty. Poverty does not breed confidence. Only confident people can bring changes. Poor, uneducated people can also bring change, but it will be hijacked by the educated and the wealthy...give young Nigerians good education. Teach them the value of hard work and sacrifice, and discourage them from crimes which are destroying your image as a good people.”

Kuje Prison Warders Claim Terrorists Stole N82 million, $36,000 Cash Belonging To Inmates

Inmates held at Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja are threatening a deadly riot after officials claimed a large chunk of money kept for the prisoners had been carted away by Boko Haram insurgents who breached the facility on Tuesday night, two sources with information have informed Peoples Gazette.

The money had been kept with at least five prison officials, including those manning the commissary, for several months, officials said.

“One prison guard told 13 inmates this afternoon that all the money they kept with him had been stolen,” an official said. “He bluntly told them that the N26 million is no longer in his possession.”

The prison, about 43 kilometres southwest of downtown Abuja, was breached at about 10:00 p.m. by suspected Boko Haram insurgents. While some detainees refused to take advantage of the jailbreak, all prisoners affiliated with Boko Haram escaped, according to defence minister Bashir Magashi.

At least 84 Boko Haram assets were believed held at Kuje prior to the attack, which lasted about three hours without any consequential intervention from security forces. About 600 inmates escaped in total, although officials said some had voluntarily returned. Actual roll-call statistics remained unclear as of Wednesday evening, nearly 24 hours after the attack.

President Muhammadu Buhari visited the facility for a few minutes on his way to the airport on a foreign trip to Senegal Wednesday afternoon, inspecting the damage while assuring correctional managers of support.

As the president departed the scene, prisoners began shouting that they’d lost money during the raid, while some threatened violence should officials fail to return their cash.

“Yes, that is the problem we’re confronting now,” an official said when asked for corroboration Wednesday evening. “Some people lost money in naira while some lost in dollars.”

In 1992, a group of young men decided to stowaway in a Ukrainian cargo ship headed for the United States via France. The cargo ship left the shores of Takoradi Harbour with young Ghanaians only to be murdered on the ship by the captain and his crew.

One person made it to France by fighting his way through and reported the incident to the France authorities who had the crew arrested. This incident became so popular it even became a Hollywood classic and the name of the man behind all this was Kingsley Ofosu.

According to Ofosu, he and seven other Ghanaians, including his half-brother Albert Codjoe, stowed away aboard the MC Ruby, a Bahamian-flagged, Ukrainian-crewed cargo ship, on 24 October 1992. The ship was docked in Takoradi, taking on a load of cocoa.The stowaways had wanted to travel to Europe, where each man had hoped to find a more prosperous life than what was available to them in Ghana.Ofosu specifically had hoped to pursue his studies so that he could return to Ghana as a trained engineer. After hiding within the ship's holds, the group discovered another stowaway, not previously known to them, who had boarded the ship at its previous stop in Douala, Cameroon.

Six days into the voyage, the group's water container was broken, forcing them to begin ferreting about the ship in search of more. This resulted in them being discovered by the ship's crew.Members of the ship's crew took all of the group's money and then confined them in the compartment containing the ship's anchor chain.They were held there for three days, being given no food and little water. Eventually, the six crew members began removing the group two to three at time. Although they told the men that they were being moved to a more comfortable accommodation, the crew in fact had decided to murder the men, beating them with an iron bar and shooting them, then finally throwing them overboard somewhere off the coast of Portugal.It was later determined that the crew members' motive was to avoid the heavy fine they would have faced for bringing illegal immigrants into a Western port.

Ofosu and Codjoe were the last two to be removed from the compartment. As they were brought out, they noticed the blood on the crewmen's clothing and surmised what was about to occur.They attempted to break away, but Codjoe was shot and thrown overboard. Ofosu successfully escaped back into the bowels of the ship and went back into hiding, successfully eluding the crew's searches for him for three days until the ship reached port in Le Havre, France.

Upon the arrival in Le Havre, Ofosu slipped off of the ship and made his way to a police station, where he reported to the authorities what had occurred during the voyage. Prior to leaving the ship, he had left his Ghanaian identification papers in one of the ship's cocoa sacks, providing evidence of the truth of his story once it was found.Human excrement found in the cargo hold also provided corroboration that other stowaways had originally been aboard.

Four of the crew members soon confessed to the crimes and six were later tried in Rouen. Defense attorneys disputed some of the details of Ofosu's story, noting that searches failed to turn up the money he claimed had been taken by the crew.They also argued that he might have misidentified specific crew members and that the Cameroonian stowaway had jumped into the sea shortly after the group's discovery.But the core of the remainder of Ofosu's narrative went largely unchallenged, with two crew members explicitly acknowledging their culpability and identifying the ship's first mate, Valery Artemenko, as the one who gave the order to kill the men.The ship's captain, Vladimir Ilnitskiy,testified that he had not ordered the murders but acknowledged that he had also done nothing to stop them. Outside of the six men arrested, the remaining crew members said they had known nothing of the stowaways.

In the end, five members of the crew were convicted, with Ilnitskiy and Artemenko each receiving a life sentence in prison. Three other crew members, Oleg Mikhailevsky, Petr Bondarenko and Sergei Romashenko, each received a 20-year sentence.

"Ancient Egypt was not White, Ancient Egyptians were not Arabs either. Egypt was a nation of Black Africans. Arabs invaded and conquered the true Egyptians and than the Greeks invaded and conquered them too the Arabs reclaimed the land which was not theirs in the first place the descendants of the true Egyptians first settled in Nubia and later scattered to the rest of Africa."

“Why didn’t they build Pyramids anywhere else” they did in Sudan (probably the blackest people on the planet). There are more Pyramids in Sudan than the are in Egypt or anywhere else in the world!

"They will give absurd reasons why the noses of the statues in Egypt are hacked off why the paintings inside the pyramids are off a dark shade they would even rather say aliens built the pyramids rather than Black Africans."

In 1912, Black Californians Charles and Willa Bruce bought a small slice of Manhattan Beach real estate for around $1,200. They built a resort for fellow Black families in the area who found themselves unwelcome at Whites-only beaches, even renting out bathing suits and selling snacks — and they were almost immediately subjected to racist attacks.

Everyone from neighbors, the police, the city council, and even the Klan tried to close the beach down. The city imposed 10-minute parking limits near the beach to try and discourage visitors, and finally in 1924, the Manhattan Beach city council just seized the property entirely, offering the Bruces a fraction of their asking price. Today, the stretch of beach is worth around $20 million — and Los Angeles County just voted to finally return it to the Bruces' descendants.
