Good news for patriots praying for Nigeria and bad news for wailers, iPods and children of hatred.

Let the growth begin now after the recovery.

This is a miracle, coming earlier than expected.

God is indeed a Nigerian.


Just watch the children of hatred and doom disputing the report just because it is contrary to their warped prophesy of doom.

The world Bank economist led us into recession while the so-called polytechnic graduate pulled us out of it.

I doff my hat for Kemmy.

The bodies of at least 74 migrants have been washed ashore in western Libya, in the latest tragedy along the dangerous trafficking route to Europe. The Libyan Red Crescent posted photos of dozens of bodies in black and white bags lined up along the shore near the western city of Zawiya.
A spokesman for the aid organisation said there were still bodies floating out at sea as the agency had no way of retrieving them. He said the migrants were all adults, mostly from sub-Saharan African countries, and all but three were men.
The UN migration agency, the International Organisation of Migration (IOM), said the dinghy had set off on Saturday with 110 people on board. The agency said traffickers deliberately took the engines from the boat and then abandoned it to drift.

...I'm just curious to know what stopped them this time. Was it 16 years of PDP too?
Or have the jobs already been created technically?

Who are they going to arrest next in order to divert attention from this spectacular failure?
How many billions of dollars are they going to find hidden underneath Diezani's bathroom slippers tomorrow in a bid to keep their worshippers busy?

Kenai:
This thread was inspired by this post, from Dr. Hassan, requesting to see Goodluck Jonathan's thesis and publications.



While I am no spokesman for the president or any of these political players for that matter, I remember I did once come across one of his academic publications...

I found it at the AquaticCommons, and it was originally published on 29th November, 1985.

The publication is titled:
"Identification of West African Estuarine Shrimp and Crab Larvae"
by Jonathan, G.E. and Powell, C.B. and Hart, A.I. (1985).

Abstract: The paper deals with the decapod crustacean larvae likely to be found in fresh and brackish waters in tropical west Africa. It summarizes results from an ongoing program of describing larvae hatched directly from adults of known species, to provide the identification keys necessary for applied research on nursery grounds, plankton ecology and pollution effects. A preliminary key to stage - 1 larvae is given for approximately 40 species...

Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item.

Page Range: pp 197 - 206

The PDF is also downloadable here

That's the much I could find for now, but I'm sure we'd find more if we actually looked.

Abstract: The diet of Aphyosemion gardneri was studied in Mfangmfang pond in Uyo, Nigeria from January to December. The major food components - in decreasing order of dominance - were terrestrial invertebrates, macrophytes, aquatic invertebrates, microcrustaceans, sand grains and algae...

The Nigerian Army has it
http://www.nigerianmonitor.com/nigerian-army-finds-buharis-missing-certificate-what-apc-has-to-say/

The Nigerian Army may have reportedly found Gen. Muhammadu Buhari’s Secondary School leaving certificate, according to Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi, a former Honourable Commissioner for Lagos State Ministry for Tourism & Inter-Governmental Relations.

The APC UK also confirmed on it’s Twitter page.

This is coming a few days after the President-elect won the presidential election.

It would be recalled that prior to the presidential polls, the whereabouts of the certificate had caused a lot of uproar across the nation, which almost got him disqualified.

Buhari had said his certificate is with the military board, but the Army headquarters denied the claim.

How I withstood pressure and got Jonathan employed at OMPADEC

A Nigerian critical of the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan today is the Convener of the Committee of Concerned Northern Professionals, Politicians, Academics and Businessmen (CCNPPAB), Dr. Junaid Mohammed. Ironically, the same Junaid, who was a former member of the House of Representatives in the Second Republic , highly recommended and fought for the appointment of the President at the defunct Oil Mineral Producing Areas Development Commission (OMPADEC). Barely 19 years after, the same Junaid thinks otherwise of the President. In this interview, our Managing Editor, Northern Operation, YUSUF ALLI, the critic opens up on how he met President Jonathan.

How did you know President Goodluck Jonathan? Where did your path cross each other?

In short, I met President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan exactly early 1993. I met him in the cause of my work as a federal commissioner in the then OMPADEC in Port Harcourt . It has been renamed as the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). So, recruitment into OMPADEC brought me into contact with President Jonathan. We went to Port Harcourt as a skeletal group comprising only commissioners. This means we had 14 staff, apart from the secretary who was a Federal Government appointee. So, we had to start recruiting people.
In the method of recruiting, the former Chairman of OMPADEC, Albert Horsefall again violated not only the constitution but violated Decree No. 23 of 1991 of OMPADEC. He put employment into OMPADEC as a proportion to the oil that is being produced in an area. Producing oil an in area does not guarantee you that the area is the kind of area that produces engineers or doctor. If you have no doctors in the area and you produce all the oil in the Niger Delta, you could not be employed.
So, we found ourselves in a very serious manpower situation. Areas where we have the manpower to come and carry out the projects and execute them were not available. At the same time, areas that were producing the oil hugely so to speak could not unfortunately produce the manpower that was necessarily for the maintenance of the infrastructure that we are trying to put in the Niger Delta. In one of such, there had been earlier recruitment, but there had been a lot of backlash and complaints. So, people especially among the Ijaw were complaining that they were grossly under-represented and they said some of the people who said they were Ijaw were not Ijaw and did not come from the areas which have now been renamed Bayelsa after the creation of the state.
So...eh…
I took that into consideration and reported to Babangida and Gambo that there were a lot of complaints after the last recruitment exercise. We were about to start another recruitment when the name of President Goodluck came to my attention. I realised he came from a very under-developed area in terms of educational attainment. I also realised that the area is a huge producer of oil in the local government. I had two friends who are Ijaw. There was late Sam Ikikoro who said there is a young Ijaw man. I asked further, he said they are regarded as Ijaw and they speak Ijaw but they are a small tiny clan or group within the Ijaw group. I asked whether Jonathan comes from that local government or not he said yes. I said okay.
Then I also asked a close friend of mine, an engineer who had settled in Ghana and finished at Ahmed Bello University , Paul Abiu. I said do you know this man (Jonathan)? He said no, he did not know the man but he knows this local government. It is definitely an Ijaw local government. When the issue of recruitment came, I found out that in short- listing the names of applicants, Horsefall said he had an appointee.
I objected to that and insisted that the recruitment was an opportunity to redeem our image as a responsible organisation which is strictly speaking a Federal Government organisation belonging to all the people of Niger Delta. When the name of Goodluck Jonathan came, Horsefall said he had a better appointee, he introduced another name of his cousin. I said I would not accept. That was the beginning of the fight we had and it went on into so many areas and the activities of OMPADEC until the very end. Horsefall was defeated because majority of the commissioners in OMAPADEC then agreed with me and he had no alternative than to recruit Jonathan.
The fight came between me and Horsefall and the fight lasted until the very end of OMPADEC when it was dissolved by the late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha. The important thing is that there was another boy who is now late, he is an Ijaw man. His name was Joe. Joe and Goodluck wanted to come and thank me and even come with their community. I said I didn’t want to see them because what I did was to satisfy my conscience. I believe Horsefall had done injustice by putting too many Kalabari at the expense of Ijaw people.
So, Jonathan knew what you did?
Very much. In fact, he thanked me well for that gesture, which meant nothing to me. As far as I am concerned, it is not for me asking Jonathan for compensation. It is not my business to come and see Jonathan. It was only lately I knew that one of my brothers happened to know him and they are close. That has nothing to do with me and I know I have seen him several times at OMPADEC. As far as I am concerned, my idea of public service is that you do what you can and regard politics as public service. I believe whoever is the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria must learn to listen to criticisms because the country is not his personal matrimony. Nigeria belongs to all us, whether he is my brother or somebody I knew, Goodluck or Horsefall, he has a responsibility to listen to us.
Are you saying your bitter criticism of Jonathan is not personal?
Absolutely no. Jonathan knows better than anybody. Even each time some people tried to incite him against me, he will look and say Dr. Junaid was my boss and that has been the case. As far as I am concerned, that has nothing to do with me, I have never had any quarrel, not even an argument with him when I was in OMPADEC where we worked together.

That would be how many years?

The relationship started in 1993 and we are now in 2012. So, what is the big thing?

If you knew of good qualities of Jonathan and you recommended him for a job then, why is that you don’t seem to agree ….

(Cuts in) I recommended him to be an Assistant Director, I did not recommend him to be the President of Nigeria. These are two different things. If I were to assess him as an Assistant Director, Ecology, that is a different matter. If I were to give assessment now as a president of the country, it would have been a different assessment.

Revealed: How Buhari Budgeted N39 billion for Propaganda

In a bid to launder his already battered image, President Muhammadu Buhari has allocated a whooping sum of N39 billion in the 2016 budget to the Ministry of Information and Culture, a sum higher than the paltry N29 billion allocated to the Ministry of Agriculture.

This is a direct inverse of the 2015 budget, where Former President Goodluck Jonathan allocated the sum of N23 billion to Ministry of Information and N39 billion to the Agricultural Ministry.

The meager allocation to the Agricultural ministry has left political stakeholders wondering if the present administration aims at diversifying the economy or thriving on propaganda.

Buhari had in August, 2015 stated that Nigerians must stop paying mere lip service to agriculture, as crude oil and gas exports will no longer be sufficient as the country’s major revenue earner.

“It’s time to go back to the land. We must face the reality that the petroleum we had depended on for so long will no longer suffice. We campaigned heavily on agriculture, and we are ready to assist as many want to go into agricultural ventures,’’ Buhari stated.

However investigations by Post Nigeria revealed that Buhari’s words did not match his action following the lean budgetary provision for Agriculture.

But where's Buhari's certificate?

Buhari gave ‘corrupt’ Nigerian judge N500,000 during certificate controversy, Witness tells court

A witness in the corruption trial of Justice Adeniyi Ademola has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari gave the embattled judge N500,000 while his certificate controversy was pending before Mr. Ademola.

Some persons had filed a suit challenging Mr. Buhari’s candidacy prior to the 2015 elections, alleging the president had no secondary school certificate as required by law.

The witness said the money was given through Mr. Buhari’s former lawyer, Kola Awodeyin.
The witness, however, said he does not consider the money a bribe.
Mr. Ademola is being prosecuted by the Nigerian government for alleged corruption. He has denied the charges and requested accelerated hearing at the trial in Abuja‎.

The federal judge is being prosecuted alongside his wife, Olubowale, and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Joe Agi.

Details later…

rolchi:
President Muhammadu Buhari has appealed the ruling of Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court in Abuja who on May 26, 2016 dismissed his preliminary objection in a suit filed by an Abuja-based legal practitioner, Mr. Nnamdi Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe.

Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe had alleged that Buhari was unqualified to aspire to the Office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria because he did not sit for the Cambridge West African School Certificate WASC) in 1961 as he claimed.

When the suit came up on May 26, Buhari in his preliminary objection challenged the mode of service of the originating summons on him, insisting that he ought to have been served at an address in Kaduna instead of by substituted means at the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja.

However, Justice Ademola, in his ruling, had held that it was incompetent and upheld the service of the originating court processes on Buhari.
The judge held that the service of the court’s processes on the president through the secretariat of the APC was proper.

The court was satisfied that if it was served on a senior officer of the APC at the national headquarters, it would be brought to Buhari’s attention.
Dissatisfied with this ruling, Buhari through his legal team filed a notice of appeal at the Court of Appeal, Abuja Judicial Division on seven grounds of appeal.

The president’s legal team, which endorsed the notice of appeal, is led by Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN).
Others are Mr. Lateef O. Fagbemi (SAN), Chief Akin Olujinmi (SAN), Oluwarotimi O. Akeredolu (SAN), Kola Awodein (SAN), Prof. Taiwo Osipitan (SAN), Charles Edosomwan (SAN), Emeka Ngige (SAN), Femi Atoyebi (SAN), Femi Falana (SAN), Funke Aboyade (SAN), H.O. Afolabi (SAN), Muiz Banire (SAN), and 10 other counsel.

When contacted on the phone, the plaintiff, Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe said the president has the constitutional right of appeal and was within his rights to exercise it particularly since he had not yet submitted a defence to the substantive action and had filed nothing in defence of the merits of the case.

Meanwhile, the Principal Registrar of the Federal High Court, Abuja, Mr. Jane Egbo, has issued a summons to the parties to appear before her on Monday, June 13, 2016 to settle the records of the president’s appeal.
Also, a check at the Registry of the Federal High Court, Abuja confirmed that the plaintiff has filed an application to amend his originating summons to include prayers for the nullification of the election of Buhari, as he was not qualified ab initio to contest the election having contravened the Electoral Act and committed perjury in claiming to have had a WASC when he never even sat for the examination.

The plaintiff also wants to add prayers for the court to order the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Buhari and issue a fresh one to Dr. Goodluck Jonathan who came second in the 2015 presidential election.

The plaintiff’s motion on notice for amendment of his originating summons has been served on all the defendants and will come up for hearing on Thursday, June 16, 2016.

Africa’s richest man got a fistful of dollars in Nigerian currency squeeze

As Nigeria grapples with a foreign exchange crisis, one person stands out in the scramble to obtain hard currency: Aliko Dangote, Africa's richest man.

When the government restricted the supply of dollars in June 2015 to prop up the value of the Nigerian naira, firms owned by Dangote landed a healthy share of dollars available at the cheap official rate, a study by Reuters shows.

Reuters examined foreign currency transactions made during an 11-week period in March to May this year. Over that time, Dangote businesses were able to buy at least $161 million in hard currency from the central bank. That was around nine percent of all the hard currency the bank sold over the period. In a single week in March, one dollar in every eight went to Dangote companies. There is not enough data to see how that stacks up with the companies' share of foreign trade.

Compared with buying dollars on the more expensive unofficial market, though, Dangote companies benefited to the tune of about $100 million (68 million pounds).
