316: Toto Bissainthe // Chante Haïti

Chante Haïti Toto Bissainthe 1977, Arion

“These songs are mostly slave songs taken from the Vodou cult. They speak of the quotidian, of the suffering of exile, and the desire of Africa, not as a geographical place but as a mythical land of freedom. They express their resistance and their refusal: resistance to the colonizer, refusal of his politics, of his religion, of his culture, of his language.”

So begins Toto Bissainthe’s statement on the rear of Chante Haïti, her 1977 collaboration with a small combo of Antillean folk and French jazz musicians: vocalists Marie-Claude Benoît and Mariann Mathéus; percussionists Akonio Dolo and Mino Cinélu (Miles Davis, Weather Report, Gong); Patrice Cinélu on acoustic guitar; and Beb Guérin on the double bass. The songs indeed fuse the Vodou ritual of her native Haiti with the European avant garde sounds of her adopted milieu of Paris, where she had moved to pursue acting and found herself a de facto exile due to the political situation back home. Bissainthe had become a prominent figure in the French theatre, performing in new plays by Beckett and Genet and co-founding Les Griots, France’s first Black theatre company; by the late ‘70s, she was an acclaimed recording artist to boot. Her accomplishments made her a prominent figure in the Haitian diaspora and her activist streak is apparent throughout Chante Haïti, explicitly linking the grief and yearning for liberation in these traditional ceremonials with the country’s contemporary struggles.

Like many songs on the album, the Creole words of opener “Soley danmbalab” mourn the people's estrangement from Mother Africa, a crossing which can neither be reversed or repeated. It begins like a field recording, Bissainthe’s soulful, Miriam Makeba-esque voice set to a chorus of rattles and bells and gurgling masculine whispers. As the song develops, her melody wends like a stream through the dense jungle of percussion, dissonant bass, and counterpoint chanting. Eventually, Mino Cinélu’s arrangement becomes more free, the male chorus imploring the Oungan (a male Vodou priest) to intercede with the creator on the people’s behalf as the tune breaks down into an increasingly abstract bass and drum interplay, while the three female singers exchange birdlike vocal improvisations.

“Ibo Ogoun (Variations)” is even wilder, evoking a trance ritual, the spirits speaking in many tongues through the celebrants as they seek to summon Ogun, God of Iron and War, to lead the battle of liberation. One of the male percussionists times his tanbou beat so that it hits just as he sings certain notes, creating the illusion that he voice has suddenly lurched down an octave for a moment, almost like a DJ freaking a vocal sample. Bissainthe, Mathéus, and Benoît match the intense drumming with some crazy syncopations, sometimes talking, sometimes hissing and whispering, sometimes wailing and ululating.

Most of the album takes on a more meditative tact, anchored by Guérin’s plangent double bass. On the smoky “Papadanbalab,” an entreaty to the serpent creator Damballa to bear witness to the penury of his people, Bissainthe sways over a slinky jazz bass line, Patrice Cinélu adding mellow acoustic fusion licks. The song seems like a brief stopover in a Parisian club. But even the less overtly intense tracks pack plenty of musical interest. “Lamize pa dous” has this hypnotic rhythm that sounds exactly like a micro house beat—in fact, the first thing it made me think of was Ricardo Villalobos’ Alcachofa, or Animal Collective at their campfire ravingest. The song is about the moment of surrender to death, the winnowing of time represented by water encroaching on all sides, the realization too late that “we spend our lives trying to fill the sea with stones.”

Listening to a record like this, especially in light of Bissainthe’s note on the back excoriating the colonialist ethnographer who reduces Haitian folklore to “excitement and violence,” requires at least a smidgen of awareness from the white listener that Chante Haïti is not intended for them. The traditions it engages with are of deep spiritual significance to many Haitians, both in the ‘70s and today. But for those inside and outside the culture who are willing to approach it with respect, Chante Haïti is a fascinating fusion of Antillean and European musics, and a peek into a profound and secret history.

Nigeria's security landscape has deteriorated significantly, with the rise of diverse violent groups exploiting the state's weakened control. From July 2023 to June 2024 under President Bola Tinubu's watch, the country witnessed an alarming surge in kidnapping incidents, driven by various actors including Boko Haram, armed gangs, and secessionist groups. Amid these threats, kidnap-for-ransom has emerged as a pervasive issue, affecting nearly every region of Nigeria. Escalating Kidnapping Statistics Our research reveals that at least 7,568 people were abducted in 1,130 incidents across Nigeria during the review period. Kidnappers demanded approximately ₦11 billion (about $6.87 million) in ransom but received only ₦1.05 billion, indicating a significant drop in the amount collected. This suggests a shift in kidnapping tactics, with perpetrators becoming less specific in their victim targeting.   Quranic Teacher Arrested For Kidnapping And S0domising Almajiri Boys In Bauchi Most Affected States Zamfara, Kaduna, and Katsina have been particularly hard hit, with Zamfara recording 132 incidents involving 1,639 victims. Kaduna followed with 113 incidents and 1,113 victims, while Katsina reported 119 incidents with 887 victims. These states also have the highest number of civilian casualties. In total, 1,056 people were killed in kidnapping-related incidents, making the phenomenon increasingly lethal. On average, a fatality occurred in nearly every reported kidnapping case. Breakdown of Incidents by State (July 2023 - June 2024): Zamfara: 132 incidents, 1,639 kidnapped Katsina: 119 incidents, 887 kidnapped Kaduna: 111 incidents, 1,113 kidnapped FCT: 70 incidents, 404 kidnapped Sokoto: 67 incidents, 487 kidnapped Borno: 63 incidents, 720 kidnapped Niger: 48 incidents, 689 kidnapped Benue: 39 incidents, 186 kidnapped Kogi: 38 incidents, 170 kidnapped Enugu: 31 incidents, 84 kidnapped Taraba: 31 incidents, 167 kidnapped Ogun: 30 incidents, 88 kidnapped Anambra: 29 incidents, 46 kidnapped Rivers: 28 incidents, 66 kidnapped Delta: 27 incidents, 48 kidnapped Kwara: 27 incidents, 80 kidnapped Nasarawa: 24 incidents, 113 kidnapped Plateau: 24 incidents, 26 kidnapped Bauchi: 22 incidents, 114 kidnapped Edo: 22 incidents, 69 kidnapped Cross River: 18 incidents, 40 kidnapped Imo: 15 incidents, 30 kidnapped Ondo: 15 incidents, 67 kidnapped Akwa Ibom: 14 incidents, 12 kidnapped Adamawa: 13 incidents, 11 kidnapped Ebonyi: 10 incidents, 29 kidnapped Kebbi: 10 incidents, 26 kidnapped Abia: 8 incidents, 40 kidnapped Oyo: 8 incidents, 26 kidnapped Yobe: 8 incidents, 9 kidnapped Lagos: 7 incidents, 11 kidnapped Ekiti: 6 incidents, 17 kidnapped Osun: 6 incidents, 23 kidnapped Kano: 4 incidents, 2 kidnapped Bayelsa: 3 incidents, 5 kidnapped Jigawa: 2 incidents, 2 kidnapped Gombe: 1 incident, 2 kidnapped Fatalities The kidnapping crisis has resulted in a substantial loss of life.

In relation to the Zhongshan conflict, a US court makes grave accusations against the Nigerian police and Ogun government

Serious charges alleging violations of human rights against officials of Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Co. Limited have been brought against the Nigerian police and the government of Ogun State by a U.S. court. According to court records, the executives were beaten, refused food and drink, and taken into custody at gunpoint. Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Co. Ltd. (Appellee) v. Federal Republic of Nigeria (Appellant) US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit released these conclusions. The case was determined on August 9, 2024, after it was debated on April 22, 2024. Court records also show that threats were made against Chinese company leaders. The issue has to do with the dispute surrounding the foreign seizure of Nigeria's presidential aircraft. According to Judge Millett's court ruling, these incidents took place when Ogun State attempted to end its agreements with Zhongshan over the creation of a free trade zone within the state. Zhongshan's parent firm was hired by the Ogun Guangdong Free Trade Zone firm in 2010 to create an industrial park inside the free trade zone. Tenants would be able to use the factories that Zhongshan's parent firm developed and constructed in the park. But in the first half of 2016, Ogun State called off their contracts with Zhongshan, claiming that Zhongshan had deceived Ogun and that another Chinese business should have been awarded Zhongshan's portion of the free trade zone. According to court records, “As tensions escalated, an Ogun official texted a Zhongshan executive advising him to ‘leave peacefully’ to avoid ‘forceful removal, complications, and possible prosecution.’” Following that, Ogun issued arrest warrants for two executives from Zhongshan, alleging "criminal breach of trust." Nigerian federal police detained one executive for 10 days, beating him, depriving him of food and water, and questioning him about the location of the other executive. The arrest took place at gunpoint. The state's earlier negotiations with Zhongshan were overturned, according to Ogun State's Special Advisor on Media and Strategy, Hon. Kayode Akinmade, who made this announcement on Thursday. According to Akinmade, Ogun State was notified that Zhongshan had temporarily attached three government-owned aircraft in Nigeria to its property in France. This action was taken in response to two court orders from Paris dated March 7, 2024, and August 12, 2024, which were obtained without informing Ogun State, the Federal Government of Nigeria, or their legal representatives. He said that none of Zhongshan's attempts to seize assets owned by Nigerians overseas had succeeded in recouping money from Nigeria. He continued by saying that the airplanes in question are exempt from attachment under French and international law because they are only used for sovereign reasons. Read the full article

This means​, 10,066th year of recorded Yoruba history since the establishment of the calendar according to Scholars by Orunmila. However we used to have 4 days/week, but later reconciled it with the Gregorian calendar 7days/week (Note). Before the western Gregorian calendar, Yorubas used a lunar calendar. The Yoruba year begins June 3 of this year to June 2nd the following year. The traditional calendar had a 4 day week, 7 week month, and 12 month year. The Yoruba calendar (Kojoda) has a year beginning on the last moon of May or first moon of June of the Gregorian calendar, and an era of 8042 BC. The new year coincides with the Ifá festival. It started about 10,066th years ago, when Ife-Oodaye was populated by the Orishas. It was the work of Orunmila and Obatala. The traditional Yoruba week has four days. The four days that are dedicated to the Orisa go as follow: Day 1 is dedicated to Obatala (Sopanna, Iyaami, and the Egungun) Day 2 is dedicated to Orunmila (Esu, Ifá and Osun).

Hardship: AfDB plans $2.7bn budget, agric loans for Nigeria

…approves $134m fund for emergency food productionThe African Development Bank Board of Directors has approved $134m for Nigeria to implement an emergency food production plan, AfDB President Akinwumi Adesina has said. According to him, talks are also ongoing for a $1.7bn economic and budget support loan as well as the launch of a $1bn agro-industrial processes in 28 states. Adesina made the disclosures during an interview with journalists in Lagos on Monday. The development came amid a biting food shortage that has led to hunger protests in Nigerian states and most recently attacks on grain warehouses in Abuja, Ogun, Niger and Kaduna states. Last June’s fuel subsidy removal and exchange rate unification policy of the government have led to severe hardships with inflation now nearing 30 per cent amid a sharp depreciation of the naira. Weak consumer purchasing power has affected businesses with the nation recording weak Gross Domestic Growth during the last quarter of the last year. However, Adesina told journalists in Lagos that AfDB had pledged to support Nigeria through this period, disclosing that a number of agric initiatives should yield about five million metric tons of wheat, rice, cassava, maize this year for the country. He exuded confidence that the development bank would work with Nigerian government to proffer solutions to the problems confronting Africa’s biggest economy. He said, “I’m not used to complaining; I’m used to finding solutions. I did tell the President when I can last year that we would strongly support the Nigerian government in finding a solution to the challenges. As I speak to you today, we have approved $134m for Nigeria to implement an emergency food production plan. And that is not something that we are planning to do; it is what we are already doing. “We have supported the cultivation of 118,000 hectares of wheat in Nigeria already this season. We will do 150, 000 hectares of maize production this march. By the rainy season, in May and June, we will support Nigeria to do 300,000 hectares of rice. We will also do 300,000 hectares of maize, 150,000 hectares of cassava and 50,000 hectares of soybean. So, that means that by the end of March, Nigeria would get out an additional one million metric tons of wheat; and by November, we will have an additional four million metric tons of rice, cassava, maize and soybeans.” The AfDB chief however advised Nigeria to push for more food supply, pointing out that food inflation is a major component of the nation’s inflation figure. Tackling inflation requires looking at some of the structural drivers, according to him. “A big part of that (Nigeria’s) inflation is food price inflation. If you look at the Consumer Price Index, probably 65 per cent of it If not even 75 per cent of it now, is actually the price of food. And so, you don’t necessarily deal with food price inflation through your standard macroeconomic policy of tightening monetary supply. You deal with it by producing the food because that’s the thing that needs to be done. So I think it’s very important to be able to deal with that,” He emphasised the need to enhance food production in the country. On how the country could boost food production as quickly as possible, Adesina said, “But one thing that I would say is that the government needs to go back to the policy of electronic wallet system. Remember when I was minister, we did design a programme to get seeds and fertilizers to farmers directly via their mobile phones by electronic vouchers. We were able to reach 15 million farmers in four years; the whole place was booming with food. And I think that is what I will advise needs to be done and done very quickly. Because access to high performing yields, high performing seeds and fertilizers and farm inputs is very critical; otherwise you will not be able to do it.” Nonetheless, Adesina also pointed out the need for Nigeria to get low-interest concessionary financing to overcome its economic challenges. The development bank boss said issues around the exchange rate must be dealt with as an import dependent nation. According to him, the AfDB is planning about $1.7bn economic and budget support loan for the country. He said, “There needs to be a lot of support around Nigeria, given the tight fiscal space and the lack of forex, to make available a lot more concessional financing to the Nigerian economy. And that’s what we’re doing at African Development Bank. This year we expect to approve with our board because we always go to our board of directors for approval, but our plan is to be able to do $1.67bn of financing to Nigeria in different sectors, including considering a potential policy base operation of budget support to Nigeria. We are discussing with the Minister of Finance; that is part of a $1bn budget support operation that will go into two tranches. Again, I will say it has to be approved by the board, but these are all the things that we are hoping to be able to do.” He spoke about other agric projects in the country. Also, the AfDB is planning to launch this year a programme for a $1bn special agro-industrial processes are in 28 states, adding that “It this structural interventions that I will say would make agriculture more productive, efficient, and competitive.” “So those are the things that we are doing in Nigeria. In addition to that, we have a programme that we’ve already implemented, called Special Agro Industrial Processing zones. So these are new economic zones we are supporting Nigeria to develop. We provided $520m for that, ourselves, the African Development Bank, the Islamic Development Bank, and the International Fund for Agricultural, currently working now in eight states. We expect that those things will start hitting the ground and start construction by June of this year,” he added. Read the full article

By • Olalekan Fagbade Governor’s absence, strategy to avoid giving report of one-year stewardship – APC alleges The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has condemned the continuous absence of the state governor, Ademola Adeleke, in the state Government House, describing it as a strategy to avoid giving report of his one-year stewardship. It will be recalled that the governor's spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, had in a recent statement claimed that his principal has embarked on a working vacation to Europe and Asia. Mr Rasheed had said that the governor's trip was to finalise partnership deals with investors and development partners. However, the Osun APC, in a statement signed by the Chairman, Tajudeen Lawal on Sunday, condemned Mr Rasheed's claim, saying it is full of contradictions criminally packaged to hide some information. The party claimed that the governor, contrary to Rasheed's statement, has been holidaying in the United States of America in the last two weeks. It said: “Of course, this is a mere prelude to a foundation-laying for excuses that Governor Adeleke would not be physically present in the state for the celebration of his one-year administration coming up tomorrow. “It was reliably gathered that a recorded statement from the governor would be played for the people of the state in lieu of his physical presence tomorrow. “No one can begrudge another for falling sick or nursing an ailment as such is beyond the control of any human being but God Almighty, however, it beholds on those who are holding the people’s mandate in trust to always tell the truth and stand by the truth. “We know very well that Governor Adeleke has absconded from the state so he would not be able to give due account of his stewardship to the people of the state. “Since November 2022, when he came on board, Governor Adeleke has run the state aground with his sheer incompetence, lack of proper education and his zero administrative acumen. “He is afraid to disclose to Osun people how he has mismanaged over N130 billion in revenue accrued to his government in the last one year. “He is afraid to tell them how he has allocated in the supplementary budget over N10 billion for his food, entertainment and office use while parents of UNIOSUN students are struggling to pay increased school fees his regime forced on them to pay. “Governor Adeleke is ashamed to face the Osun people that one year after, his promise of making Osun another Dubai is a fluke. “Adeleke is distraught to face Osun people because he has failed to provide palliative for them in the face of economic hardship occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy and the N9billion he collected from the Federal Government, his demonic government has looted it. “Adeleke is afraid to face the anger of Osun people that while a serious state like Ogun is investing in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses, which is capable of making the cost of transportation cheaper, Adeleke in a ploy to line his pocket, is putting Osun money in unsustainable diesel-propelled vehicles purchased over 10 years ago.” The Osun APC also claimed that Adeleke would be laying a dangerous precedent with his absence from the first anniversary of his administration on Monday, as it would be the first time that such would happen in the history of the creation of the state.

Ashley : So, this is the Obversatory, huh? This place looks incredibly big.

Kimial Diehl : Totally looks amazing!

Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupre : Neat place!

Penny Crygor : So, what are the odds? This is a marvelous place! Not too far from where we are.

Grim (Metal Sonic) : So, you reside on this place that orbited around Mario's world for 100 years, and they say they call you the watcher of the stars, correct?

Rosalina : Well, certainly. I helped Mario on his adventures on saving the galaxy and gathered the stars from the many galaxies he traveled across to save his world from Bowser. He tried to conquer the galaxy by making it his own empire.

Ashley : Then what did you say to him?

Rosalina : Well...

*Flashback*

Bowser : Come on, Rosalina! Please, I really need a Galaxy for my own! I really, really, need one and my son needs it too! Could you really do that for me, Rosalina! Pretty please?!

Rosalina : [Thinking] Hmmm...[determined] How about, no. (The Lumas knocks Bowser and Jr off the Obversatory, causing a Smash K.O)

Master Hand/Announcer : GAME!

*Flashback Ends*

Ashley : So, he started that invasion of interrupting the star festival on Mario, or our world that he tried to conquer it all, but luckily, Mario stopped his plans and the Galaxy is saved. So any chances about saving a world like this?

Grim (Metal Sonic) : Earth's in crisis, and the real world is being threatened by the evil forces, used as a diversion by Demon Vibe. And we need your help on saving it!

Kimial Diehl : Yeah! Because that Kishin named Asura is a phony and Demon Vibe!

[RECORD SCRATCH]

Rosalina : Wait a minute. Hold the phone. Did you say Demon Vibe?

Ashley : Well, that's his name.

[Showdown - Yutaka Minobe]

Rosalina : As in...Demon Vibe the Heartless?!

Penny Crygor : Why is that a problem?

Rosalina : I know Demon Vibe. He's that big bad that wanted to rule everything that wants to conquer or destroy the world by swallowing it in darkness. Back in the KH Universe not far from from Smash, Demon Vibe was the primordial heartless to ever obtain the powers by creating the three eye symbols, he plans to create a universe of his own, with the help of a person named Rei Hino. However, when he tried to consume the planet in his universe, he was stopped by the family called the Kusakabe, and banished suffering and wickedness called the Shadow Realm. And Shinra knew that the Evangelist that tried to destroy his world was a creation of Demon Vibe himself. A decoy of his own.

222

Ashley : You mean the Evangelist itself was a decoy, and the Ohkuboverse has been--

Kimial Diehl : --a facade?! Why would a princess knew exactly the truth and is that a problem for all of that matters. Can you think of that, for myself?

Rosalina : Hardly I can. Bet you think that putting the world in despair would be a great idea that will costs our lives?

Kimial Diehl : Not exactly the best kind.

Rosalina : Not mine. That would be Sephiroth.

Kimial Diehl : We'll do respect that we are in debt of saving our world. Not to mention it at least.

??? : Aha! I found you two! Just where have you girls been?

Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupre : Hold the phone. Is that...

[Strange Guys - Hideaki Kobayashi]

Kimial Diehl : Ox Ford. That bald headed weirdo.

Henry : Where would you go from a place like this?

Kilik Rung : So, Kimial. You've been friends with another witch named Ashley, I presume.

Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupre : Kilik!

Ashley : So, you guys are her friends from that place over there? I see. You must be so very clever that you can really manage to be friends with a faker like Maka Albarn. Hmm? [Notices something] Hold on. You're...

[Leonard's Past - Masamichi Amano]

Ashley : Descendant of the World Heroes Force member... Ogun Montgomery. [A vision of Ogun is shown] Just what are...

[flashing images of Ogun brutally killed by Homura Akemi (disguised by the Time Eater)]

Ashley : (in mind) Just what are your demands of living up to the legacy? Now I finally understand on where the pieces coming together. Can Kimial might be a descendant of someone that I've know before?

Kimial Diehl : Hey, Ashley, what's the matter?

Ashley : Oh, umm, I just wandering that if my breathren would be thinking that if someone was the true mother of witches in the Ohkuboverse 1000 years ago. Do you know who could that be?

Kimial Diehl : Well, come to think of it. I do know who the true mother of witches. It was Inca Kas...

Captain Toad : Hey, Princess Rosalina! You got a visitor from earth and he's coming to the Obversatory, immediately!

Okay so done one was able to let me beable to read the book on libby. Also I notices that for some reason on the libby pages are around 652 in this book while it says the book has 408 pages. Could it be a way to move mire words onto a page or something?

1

Well shits got to be intense if him getting a shower in this book 

Bren going into a mental nite if the back round to the series

Bindanda helps him get dressed for the day. Kind of have to remember that the atevi can make a adult human look like a ten year old in height

He really wants his old job back . He already hates being the lord of the heavens.

Kaplan is there to meet them and jago out side his office on the ship.

Bren has a photo of jase catching a fish from the planet

Holy shit sabin should not have pissed off ilisidi or she would not have been food poisoned.

Bren and jase are trying to look through the records to try to find proof that there might be more things about the situation.

Bren is now paranoid about potential treachery. 

Jase is like currently 30 years old. Holy hell he has daddy issues / what was i made for? Around his dad figure ramirez. 

For some reason jase and Yolanda was taught culture and history from earth 

Seems like sabin and ogun were in a currently unknown relationship of ship politics.

Nine years so the station may have repaired itself.  

Thry plan on confronting sabin about the whole shit show they are in.

2

Bren asks banichi to tell the staff that everything is under control.

Kaplan makes some tea for the meeting with sabin.  From what happened last time I don't blame her for taking it at first.

Bren explains to her knowing that ramirez faked the monitor output before seeing the survivor's. 

Damn bren is trying his attempt at diplomacy with a roughly tough old lady.

So ramirez may have had contact with something that the guild known about.

Well shit it looked like they ship folk like tamun were planing to help the humans try to take over the atevi continent. That would not have worked due to mostly those humans hatting doing what the ship folk told em too. Luckily sabin kind of gained acceptance of the atevi. 

The situation was a success, they got alot of info and keeping an eye on sabin for anything new.

3

         Bren talks with banichi and jago about sabin and the situation.

god damn it caljeiri you scared me, thought an attack was happening. even jago is a little done with the bull shit. caljeiri please do not tick her off.

caljeiri tells bren that ilisidi asked for him to visit her at breakfast but that time kind of passed for obvious reason.

currently the kid is seven so its been kind of a while.

bren gives a little word about how aijiin have the security defend them instead of gun's , bows and arrows. also the kid is in brens man'chi

he gose to ilisidis study to visist her with cenedi being by her side as always.  its kind of funny how she has the vibes of a disaproving grandmother twords bren being kind to caljeiri.

they discuses what has been going on and the deception of what has been happening. as well as the contrasting theory's of why ramirez was trying to consider doing what he did.

ilisidi says that its gonna be funny when she gets back to grigiji and rub in his face about all the stars she has seen.

bren kind of feels like that sabin is rather unpredictable and kind of reminds him of tatiseigi , ilisidis maybe old lover and  tabini's wifes uncle.

after talking with her theory on why sabin acts the way she dose , he decided to go to gin or ginny kroger who is on the ship.

ginny is maybe sixty years old by this point.

she is damn worried about all of this shit for good reason. deception is definitely something she is understandable pissed about. happy sabin was able to agree to the idea. 

ginny discusses home and the seasons that are probably going on. bren thinks about the fortress of ilisidi's home with the mecheita .  offers to get him dinner when they get back.

god damn it she knows about jago's and his relationships with each other. ginny is learning ragi and compliments bindanadi cooking.

4

they have pizza being made for dinner. from what I remember I think the pizza is green instead of red.

bren praises whos been along for the voyage and Ginny practices ragi to praise the dinner. bren is so happy that this has been a social success .

he is hoping that jase gotten to bed.

after going to bed after looking through notes he made of the day, he and jago did the deed of darkness or as the mospheirans say make love.

damn this feels like a love confession even though it technically is not.

oh shit there is a "oh-god" in the morning news of ship moving in one hour. he thinks of his brother and the world and screwed up the family he left behind.

if kind of cajeiri to make racing wheel cars he learned from the archives.

they are looking through the tapes for anything new and cajeiri is viewed wonderfully by ginny's engineers and mechanics

he writes a letter to toby as a way to try to talk about how he feels about everything.

His mom is described as " was one of those women who defined herself by her children. And who consequently cannibalized their growing live until,  ultimately,  the campaign drove the family apart " 

He even writes to tabini about everything. And the work of his son.

Knowing the ship has a gymnasium and he works it off the food.

Oh my god the idea of bren translating the games on the archive to let the staff and the kid use is so damn wholesome. I hope some one gets the idea to maybe make a fanfic something like that. Cajeiri making the planes as well.

whist is brens favorite game.

They just adore godzilla . Hamlet was like, confused by Romeo and juliet and horrified and gratified by oedipus.

He wants to join the atevi and feels he is unable to. He is also desperate for answers.

He talks with cajeiri who wants ginnys crew to help him fix his car. Bren only agrees if cenedi wants to. 

Caljeiri I think accurately behaves like a 7 year old. 

It's funny that he has to avoid showing anything to caljeiri that defys authorities like a parent avoiding things with sex in them. The three musketeers is chosen.

Banichi and jago are playing chess and the staff are placing bets.

Bren writes a letter to toby about his moments of homesickness. 

Bren is done and says fuck it he is talking to sabin with the log. Banichi joins him.

He dose get a copy of a log of the encounter of ramirez of the aliens near planet gamma .

he falls asleep trying to find more information and is advised by narani to get a shower, he falls asleep in there as well.

he thinks for a bit about ramirez actions but even ilisidi thinks he should as the parody book gose "Go The Fuck To Sleep"

he talks with jago about the actions of ramirez but unfortunetly even she wants him to rest as well. but then he falls of the bed when jase tells tells him that they might finnaly have something in sight.

he gets the news to jago and ilisidi and everyone else who may need to know.

he is told that sabin is now in charge and warning the poeple of the voyage to take hold as they start to drop . 

bren is so scared that he starts having flash backs to pre and during book one of this time with tabini and ilisidi

bren and his group go to the bridge to see what is happening

5

bren tells all that are with them that they may have arrived at the destination that they have been trying to get to.

ilisidi talks to sabin and jase about what is going on and it seems like they are close but not there.

Ginny comes up to visit with moral support and advice as she put it.

ilisidi got a bit snappy with caljeiri about wanting to see the screens of the ship with her cane.

this whole book up at this point is just me adoring ilisidi and caljeiri. 

they got a connection to the station , bren is considering maybe trying to give sabin advice. she just loves calling him bitch or bastard doesn't she?

oh crap something else just caught a signal for them, and its not from the station they are trying to get to.

he suggests to use lights on the ship to try to send a patter response to who ever it may be.

something may have happened and the lights may have worked enough so that they may have to be cautious around what just contacted them . 

bren is gonna try to contact them and not ghost them like ramirez did before. bren is impressed that a phoenix caption actully told the truth. 

ilisidi wants to join the action as well as ginny. also for some reason the station has not even answered any of there questions.

okay so a dude called guild-master Braddock answers them with maybe not get close to where they are trying to go towards.

the aliens flashed more lights that are more better of a message then braddock's.

6

sabin is complaining about how bren , her , cenedi , banichi , jago , gin and jerry are in the same room as her , saying it ain't a tour. 

bren is still tired as hell but still trying to do what he dose.

sabin is doubting his hope for cooperation with the aliens. 

"works in downtown jackson traffic" such a funny line when you plan to use lights to try to communicate with aliens.

banichi and jago being able to sandwich him between them to keep him from shivering is so funny.

he is able to rea sure banichi about the situation 

hey station , maybe take sabins instructions if you want her to take yours. they say fuck it lets take the aliens route instead

 the aliens are coming to them.

ilisidi gets some tea for bren to talk about the situation at hand. they think it might be a robot or aliens.

7

the alien ship mimics there ships actions so that it migh be good. 

to not lose more fuel they use beeps from radio to make sounds and images to communicate with the aliens. 

they realize the delays may be because these are aliens instead of organic.

oh shit the aliens are innovating the images they got. they are trying to communicate what happened 10 years ago with ramirez . they drew a little stick figure of themselves.

well shit the guild might be hiding bullshit, great. welp blowing up a random due is one way to piss off an alien and vow vengence.

banichi gives some advice to maybe keep communicating.

yep the guild might have stolen a body or dude. great job guys

bren is goona try to negotiate the body back from the guild.  and is worried that they may be getting over there heads. 

ilisidi is hopeing he is goona sleep.

lies , lies everywhere, here there be lies.

8

he is awoken by ginny who is telling them that sabin is not telling the guild anything by giving them the silent treatment.

the station is pissed with there current actions. and they are gonna try to get on board. 

sabin warns everon on the speaker that the stations situation in unknowable so to be cautious.

Its so funny that jase hats the situation that he wants yolandas current job and bren wholeheartedly agrees

9

jase is corrected by bren the word is eavesdroppers instead of bureaucrats.

ilisidi calling caljeiri a blood thirsty child is so damn funny to me. 

and now things are suspicious , damn it station master Louis Baynes Braddock.

baraddock is already lying , fantastic . sabin is not taking the red tape shit.  they are threatening them with a bomb.

sabin is ignoring his advice and he gets pretty sad a bit.

sabin tells them if they have her they can atleast escape with akers , one of the captions and jase. 

ilisidi is adviced to go below deck. she and almost all of the atevi come along with her.

banichi is also explained about the situation.

they get bren dressed and even give him a gun to protect himself from what ever could happen. 

10

he wakes care of somethings before exiting the ship. he really hates how lonley he is with out those he cares about. 

he realises that some one in his office could see the photo of jase with the fish and realize more stuff was going on then what they though.

he encounters a bunch of humans in the gallery and asks for some basket of sandwiches to take back up to the bridge of the ship. he also warns them that the station might try to take the ship by force and to be carfuel.

well one of the damn station guards is here and jase is trying to keep him from getting mad. its funny seeing bren act like a low ranking , cheery crew member . 

jase is being so damn cool , there is gose off to being damn cool.

hey guild maybe being lying little shits can't help you know.

the gaurd might be suspecting everything. oh shit dose one of the crew members esan might have something contagious.

holy hell bren , kaplan and jase lock the intruder in jases office.

they don't care, whats stopping them from from collectivly beating the shit out of the security from the station is sabin isn't answering?

kaplan , polano and press men with also a few others dragged out the neeted men with out armors or weapons.

11

jase gose out to tell everyone that they got control of the ship back and to get sabin back. ilisidi also aproves

they call jase taylors son, the man who sacrificed himself long ago to save others and is the source of jase's existence . 

jase is worried that sabin might be a traitor. 

he goes back to the atevi who are pretty happy to see him back. cenedi and cajeiri go to him to congragulate him for his sucess by ilisidi. even ilisidi her self praised him.

bren explains to ilisidi about the little hostage situation for sadin if the guild master tries shit with also the pissed crew.

bren hopefully tries to get to bed.  and thanks ilisidi and cenedi for the advice. 

banichi suggests to take over the station as they help him to bed . thank goodness the gets the rest he needs.

jago is sad to have to wake him up. jase wants to tell him to to try to interrogate there guests.

he tells jago to hide while he deals with this with there guards they have with the ship crew. he also tells her to please sleep. 

12

jase is waiting for him and bren has given him food to eat and also  the prisoners.

he has the little hard fruit candies and give them to kaplan . polano and jase in a way to calm down.

oh shit they have ave got some sick crew members. from the archives in maybe origins.

he is taken to where the prisoners are , in the medial bay. bren tries  to tempt them with food. they do not want to take it.

he is rubbing in their face about how much things are better are back at the phoenix.

damn bren knows how to guilt trip these guys.  he is also just getting to them. 

he dumps the bomb about what is happening to the whole thing that happened those thousend years ago.

becker may not have budged but bren might keep trying.

13

he is getting dressed to plan to see what is going on with jago and banichi to see what could be.

I need to count when ilisidi hits caljeiri with the cane in this book, cuse it happens a bunch.

ilisidi is a hundred percent done with the stations bullshit and says fuck it we are going to tell the prisoners to stop getting in her way.

its so funny that kaplan calls ilisidi gran sidi . he is also worried they are not gonna be polite as he puts it.

those poor bastards have no idea what they are dealing with. and the crew are fucking cheering for her to beat their ass. 

turns out the guild members are looking for the log and they may have found it.

holy hell one of them named coroia who has kids and kind of admit they need help. becker do no fucking shout in front of ilisidi , the fucking atevi hate that when superiors are shouted at.

polano you doing amazing sweetie. go crew go!

becker is shocked that cajeriji is a 7 year old kid . 

one of the prisoners dropped a bomb shell that there was no dead alien , because the humans managed to get on and hold them prisoner.

they give them a deal to get the families a chance to get on the ship so that they get the fuel and the alien prisoner. hell even becker says fuck it he is helping these poeple to not have there loved ones not be on that damn station anymore.

okay ilisidi wacked cajeriji with her finger this time.

ren comes up with a plan to carry out to invate the ship.

14

bren admits to jase he took the photo from his office to protect them when the thing would happen. also to tell jase to get some rest.

they talk about the nightmare fuel of senarios that could be dealing with the situation. he also asks jase to get a sleeping pill to rest better.

he tells narani to try to make a bunch of written paper for jase idea on how to get the atevi to not be seen as a threat.

15

jase sleeps , thank goodness 

he talks with jago to explain to her the disappearance of sabin. 

banichi is so insist on to taking the station. he suggests to use the access to get control of the ship and seek out the location of the prisoner.  banichi is at first weirded our by the plan but he gos around to it.

he suggests to go with banichi to help with the who thing. they also get help from gin and cenedi. 

gin is upset about the robots being used and the translating for robot is roboti

to annoy the gaurds.

he writes a letter to both tabini , toby , his staff and jase about this plan if it gose to shit.

jase Aproved of the plan and warns him of the fact that ramirez's key maybe with ogun or sabin.

the fucking brochures look like travel brochures except for a planet.

 he gets anxious when the numbers are not an odd number. gin , the atevi and him go through. with barnhart with them. 

there is a damaged station waiting for them while they are in a pod. and a shoot out happens.  jago grabs him to shield him from harm.

they slowly make there way to the place . bren Give a brochure to a guy in a man at a desk. stop the guy from trying to call security and get him to find the prisoner. 

is funny how he get some one to look at the brocure befor seeing a scated bren aming a gun to the guys head.

they get to the prisoner then get the hell out with them. seems to blow gas out. they succeed but something might have happened and jase wants to speak with them.

16

oh shit jenrette is there and hurt with kaplan. esentually the robot plan helped jenrette to get back to the ship to try to help get a message from sabin.

bren suspects that ramirez wanted to go back to take the station from the guild .  he also supects that jenrette may have killed ramirez and is fucking lying. 

wow jase is not having it with jenrette shit. deskbound is a new one. it may have hitted jenrette . holy hell jentrette is one back stabby bastard. wow as a traitor deserves as they say, making him go out to spy again for a parden.

they plan to try to talk to the alien in what way they could.  

bren meets back and finds that his staff got clothes that do not look like shit.

the laine tried to bite poeple. gin is also grieving her robot who heroicly was destroyed to help them. 

sigaiji . a work for a leader who could not get more followers. or  a rouge

poor bindanda having to make new clothes quickly.

cajeiri wants to see the alien but cenedi looks at him to say no.

the aliens name may be prakuyo. its kind of sad and funny that prakuyo just says "Damn Dumb Shit". also brings up Madison 

they get Prakuyo to go to the the dinner and serve the guest tea cakes. they get him some more stuff to eat. 

they use stuff to illustrate and try to explain what happened. ilisidi joins and trys to help in what she can

jases comes up and tells them that he needs bren because the ship is back.

17

there is a little of a bit of chaos and jase is haveing to explain to braddock to deal with the ship.

during the argument sabin Finnaly is heard. and tries to get the situation for braddock but jase is not taking it.

prakuyo seems okay in ilisidi company . 

braddock is a little pissy that jase gave him the hand in a way. jase and bren try to fidue out what could have happened to cause the situation.

welp a bunch of the poeple are boarding the ship because fuck the guild master. gin says fuck it she is getting the suit to try to fix the shit herself.

bren gets his security and himself to help go with gin. 

18

it takes a good minute to explain how this mob of umans may have come to the ship's door. 

banichi , jago , bren , barnhart and three of ilisidi's men desabi , anaro and kasari are in a lift to see the humans.

getting poeple to evecuate the station is a fucking night mare.

they get into a nasty as hell pelleting of the gaurds and thankfully bren is protected  by his gaurds and still tries to act politely . they are tool that braddock is in his office .

yeah fuck you baraddock fuck you. jag thank you for getting him. barnhart gets the speaker in the office to announce to everyone to start getting of the station.

while he is around he heard sabin and finds jenrette . thay also kind of do not know where gin is. and jenrette is already in everyone's shit list so no one mourns his death

sabins okay and helped them get the fuel for the ship. says hato . word for good in ragi. she just wants her wounded crew aboard the ship.

19

they kind of startle the refugees but they do make it to the medial. 

the situations a bit chaotic and bren explains what is currently happening and seems like they are still talking to the alien ship.

banichi got a minor cut that bren got a bit worried of. banichi tells branhart that he owes him a drink for the help.

oh my gosh ilisidi , cajeiri , parakuyo and ilisidi and brens staff are watching black and white cartoons.

he finds out jago and banichi with held injuries to keep him from worrying about them 

he explains the situation to ilisidi and what they need to do for parakuyo. parakuyo is a fast ish ragi learner. ilisidi says fuck it lets call up the alien ship for parakuyo. 

bren theories that ragi is easier for patakuyo then english .  jase is a little worried about ilisidi and cajeiri and bren to visit the ship.

20

they get ready for they whole shit show on the alien ship.

parakuyo Poeple are called the kyo . seems to not want to be included or maybe assimilated .

the ships here to take them abroad to try to settle the 6 year bullshit once and for all.  cenedi , ilisidi , cajeiri and bren are with parakuyo . 

is in a bit of an argument with the ship owners who probably have a long ass grievance with the humans .

the aliens offer the group  a drink to chill the fuck out.

after explaining that the humans and atevi are gonna fuck off back to their solor system cajeiri gives parakuyo his toy car . 

they explain the good news the jase. 

21

Bren writes a letter to toby and tabini explaining the good news that . the assimilation part is due to the kyo being poeple who have a tendency of assimilating others into there nation. 

he fell asleep at his desk writing it for tabini's letter . he gose back to meet with jase , sabin and ilisidi. 

he gets into the seat to get ready to travel back to earth and carejiri got in trobule with dice fron what jago told him. 

[ejesgistnews]

Former Governor of Ogun State, Gbenga Daniel, has finally broken his silence over the controversy on Nigeria's presidential jets seized recently.   Ejes Gist News gathered that the jets were grounded in Europe a few days ago, following a court injunction by a Chinese firm, Zhongfu International Investment FXE, over a contract dispute with the Ogun State Government.   Presidential Jets Seizure: Amosun Also Cancelled My Ogun Contract, Just Like He Did to a Chinese Firm – Pat Utomi   Daniel was the serving governor from 2003 to 2011 when the contract was signed in 2007.   Buttressing the statement, he cited the need to enhance diplomatic measures involving Nigeria's collective interests and assets.   A statement from the office of Daniel explained that he is not in any way connected to the current legal deliberations, but will definitely help the federal government in arriving at a political solution. Presidential Jets Seizure: I Mistakenly Signed Away Ogun's Multibillion-Naira Trade Zone to Chinese Investors, Ibikunle Amosun Confesses   The Senate President charged the press to cooperate with the government in ensuring a constructive resolution, rather than politicking about the nation's assets and integrity.   "Since the report of the Arbitration and legal matters between a Chinese Firm and the Federal Government of Nigeria/ Ogun State Government on the termination of Management contract at the Ogun/ Guangdong Free Trade Zone, the Media Office of His Excellency, The Senator Otunba Engr Gbenga Daniel, FNSE, FAEng has been inundated with calls requesting for Otunba Daniel's reaction on the matter.".   "We need to establish clearly that Otunba Gbenga Daniel, or his administration, is not in discussion on the matter before the courts and arbitration; neither were the terms or proprietary of the Agreement for the establishment of FTZ, but rather, the termination of a Management Contract. The judgements in all the courts are very clear on this.".   This is a very sensitive matter involving our collective national assets and commonwealth, which every patriotic Nigerian should be concerned about. And as an elder statesman who had been privileged to serve as governor of Ogun State, during which time he was able to carry out a number of developmental projects, like the establishment of the Ogun/Guangdong Free Trade Zone and others, and through which he impacted on the lives of many citizens, and presently a serving Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it is in this patriotic path that he chooses to thread.   "Rather than the media comments, the most reasonable course of action Senator Otunba Gbenga Daniel would rather engage in at this critical time is to help Nigeria through President and Commander-in-Chief, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, toward finding a diplomatic solution on the issue at hand with available records that could assist the Federal Government in pursuing its course before the arbitration and before the courts.". He cannot do this on the pages of newspapers and in other media, which may also compromise the strength of arguments by Nigeria in the courts.   "We need to also appreciate that this matter is before various courts in several countries and it is subjudice for anyone to speak on them.".   "But let us emphasize again that the Ogun/Guangdong Free Trade Zone project still exists, several Nigerians working there as we write this, just as there are several companies still doing their legitimate businesses. It is from this development perspective that the efforts of Otunba Gbenga Daniel should be well appreciated.".   "At the time of his handover in 2011, about 56 companies were at different stages of operations, construction, and showing interest in the Free Trade Zone, through which various life-impacting developments, such as the construction of roads, schools for the local community, a scholarship, and sponsorship of many Nigerians for academic pursuits, etc. have taken place at Igbesa area, which was otherwise a rural community before the establishment of the Free Trade Zone.".

  "So many misleading reports and misrepresentation of facts on Timelines of activities relating to the establishment and Operations of the Free Trade Zone are in circulation, especially on the social media, and we beg that the media should partner with the Nigerian government in finding a very productive solution to this matter in Nigeria's interest. It is not time to play politics with the assets and integrity of our dear country.".   "We sincerely appreciate all efforts at reaching out for Otunba Daniel's side of the story as we also seek the understanding of all those who called to appreciate his sturdy silence to be able to assist the President on the way out of this testy time and situation."
