Africa is NOT newsworthy

 Media lies about Israel

Nigeria

People who believe Israel are a terrorist nation are no more than spoon-fed simpletopns who believe the mass media lies.

Ignoring my former views on Israel, and viewing the situation impartially, why would Israel, the only Christian state in an area controlled by Islam wish to start a war? Israel is the smallest state in the area, after World War 2, they had to beg for aircraft, and tanks to defend themselves, while they rebuilt the country. All the time, under attack from countries funded by Russia. The situation in Gaza was created by the people of Gaza, in 1968, they were given the option of support from either Israel, or Palestine; they chose Palestine, who turned the area into a missile silo hidden in civillian areas; so they could cry to the United Nations when their missiles got shot down, and innocent people got killed.

I won't deny I was Pro-Israel, but what I wrote isn't my view, it is history which can be checked out.

If you wish to know about a "real" terrorist state, look up Boko Haram who run the border between Nigeria, and Chad. This group slaughter more people in a month than Israel has killed in the whole of the ward with the Arab world, but Africa is not news

You have to laugh

 LinkedIn

Nigeria

I had to laugh this week, I need to have something good in my life, after having another scam attempt.

A young lady on LinkedIn based in Lagos, Nigeria - yes there is Nigeria again - contacted me about making my profile better.

Without languishing on the fact it's probably a scam, what does she think she can do for me?

Because you have a degree from some backwater "university" in somewhere nobody has heard of, doesn't mean you can write English to the level it can be read. I know this from personal experience when I was an editor.

Hackers

 Nigeria

                                                   A World of Scam

Several times on Twitter I have received a message from people in Nigeria asking to contact me; I block them without blinking. The country is known for being the capital of the SCAM world, and I have been hacked by people from there several times.

One writer I had contact with, Linda Lael Miller, used to say "Not everyone there is a scammer," she may be correct, but I am taking no chances.

I am still unsure how genuine her offer of help was, as it cost me my savings, and I doubt I will see any return for my money.

I know I am a cynic, but at the back of my mind is thought, what was her cut of the takings? Why would a bestselling writer contact me out-of-the-blue?

The answer to my question

 Nigeria

What was I expecting?

No wonder I have been getting masses of attention from literary agents; I was fooling myself into thinking they were in the USA, they are not - they are from Nigeria - I should have seen this coming as Nigeria is the scam capital of the world.

As my friend Linda Lael Miller would say, not everyone there is running a scam, which is true.

This goes to show my worth, the only people interested in me are a group of dubious people.
