For your information, boko haram has 2 set of groups.

Pro PDP BH, their targets are to bomb mosque and other muslim community to reduce the population of people that will vote for GMB
Pro APC BH, their targets are christian community e.g Chibok in other to reduce the number of people that might vote for GEJ

THEY ( APC and PDP) both knows what that they are doing.


My major consign now is, what do the masses gained from these vampires ( GMB and GEJ ) that they want to die on someone cause?

Note: No matter how politics fanatic you may be, that doesn't mean we should support the killing of innocent people..

Enough is enough.. How I wish our institution are more powerful that individual.. In our case, it is the reverse case..

God bless Nigeria

The Chadian Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Isah Braimah, has absolved his country of funding or arming the Boko Haram insurgents and asked the #BringBackOurGirls coalition members, who visited his mission on Wednesday in Abuja, to meet the Federal Government for answers on the abducted Chibok girls.

Please someone should explain what Mr Isah Braimah meant by that statement...

Ambo all the way..

Like seriously, thuh hunnnnnnnnnn


Sorry who are the APC cos nothing like that here in Greece

Kaduna gubernatorial aspirant, former Minister Nasir El-Rufai has just reported that he received reports of four army colored hilux truck driving in troubled Kaduna, Abakpa Kaduna-North, loaded with masked and armed gunmen.

Kaduna has been bogged with massacres and bloody attacks for the past years.

This report is very troubling as it could possibly be undercover military officers or loaned military vehicles with terrorists about to attack a community.

The people must continue to be security conscious and report these things to the media so Nigeria can catch those behind…and defeat this evil.

SECURITY ALERT: Just got report of four Hilux vehicles painted in army colors & heavily-armed masked men driving within Abakpa Kaduna North

Politicans deceiving the masses since 90BC

Managing relationships at Christmas time can be tough. Whether it’s hanging out with your family or spending time with a boyfriend or girlfriend, there are always compromises to be made. Buying presents can be fun, but keep in mind cool ideas for low-cost alternatives.

That feeling of love can be heaps of fun, and celebrating Christmas together as a couple could be something that you want to do. Christmas might also be a time when your family expects you to be home with them. Sometimes it can be hard to balance the two. Why not try to think about how you can do both? You could create a special time to see your girlfriend/boyfriend on Christmas Eve, Christmas night or Boxing day.

If your family is going away for Christmas, try doing something special a few days before or after you go away. There is no reason why you can't give presents then and make it just as special as Christmas Day.

When you care about someone it is not unusual to want to buy something special. Sometimes you may feel pressure to buy something that is outside your price range. Try to remember that presents don't have to be expensive to be meaningful.

It's worth sticking to what you can afford. Be creative with your gifts and don't forget that homemade presents can sometimes be just as valuable as bought gifts.


Note: Ladies, if you have been deceiving yourself in your present relationship, get to know that nothing for you.

Imagine Boko haram boosting.. Where are the leaders? dead or alive?

God will protect you guys..


To Boko haram and their sponsor, the wrath of God that will befall on you is doing push up

Rich more than the richest man

Thank God I do not have a crush here or someone having crush for me.

My new month wishes goes to Mr Seun(admin), Super Moderator, Moderator and all the Nairalanders.

More blessing coming our way.

Presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari, has prayed for President Goodluck Jonathan’s impeachment by the National Assembly.

According to Buhari, the impeachment process against Jonathan was long overdue, going by recent developments in the country.
Buhari made the disclosure in Dutse, Jigawa State capital, on Sunday, while fielding questions from newsmen, shortly after meeting with APC delegates and commissioning of his presidential campaign office in the state.
According to him, “if Nigerian cannot send Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) packing, it will consume the entire country.”
He also lamented that almost everything was functioning in the country before PDP formed government in 1999, lamenting that “today, nothing is functioning, including the power sector, despite the investment of over $20 billion.”

The former head of state also lamented the decay in the Nigerian Armed Forces, leading to the collapse in national security, warning that “the country is on the verge of collapse.” He also exonerated the Nigerian military from the Boko Haram insurgency.
While addressing Enugu State delegates of APC to the forthcoming presidential primaries of the party, he noted that “soldiers have been complaining that they are ill equipped, in spite of the trillions spent on defence budget in the last three years.”
Buhari, who was accompanied by former Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Malam Nasir el-Rufai and Chief Audu Ogbe, observed that 2015 would be another landmark in the history of Nigeria.

“If you consider the foreign revenue Nigeria has generated since 1999, you will be shocked at how inefficient and corrupt PDP has been,” he said. Meanwhile, the presidential aspirant has declared how he would repay the N27.5 million loan he got from a bank to obtain his nomination and expression of interest forms.
Buhari said the loan would be paid back by the Buhari Crowd Funding Platform.
During a chat with some journalists in Abuja, on Sunday, the former head of state similarly debunked a report in the media that he bribed the Imo State APC delegates with N1 million during his visit to the the state recently.
Speaking through the head of media, publicity and ICT of Buhari Support Organiszation, Dr Chidi Maduekwe, Buhari described the bribery claim in an online medium as ridiculous and deceptive.
According to him, “as of today, we have a platform called Buhari Crowd Funding Platform. That in itself is an innovation.
“Every second, every hour, N200, N1,000 is being paid into that account by concerned Nigerians. That could serve as a pool to even pay for the loan that was raised to start with.
“So, having borrowed money to buy the ticket, we have set up a platform that would fund the repayment of that money and fund his campaign and, indeed, be a litmus test to know if he is really the peoples’ president in waiting.”
The Daura-born former head of state had, while collecting his presidential nomination forms, revealed that he spoke to his bank, which made the collection of his presidential nomination forms possible.
Speaking on the issue of his visit to Imo State delegates and the subsequent bribery allegation, Buhari described it as ridiculous, calling the report a deceptive one.
He stressed that at the meeting with the delegates, there was nowhere any money was given.

I wish you the same dear.. More blessings on our way.


Btw, God has started his miraculous way for me this morning as my account has been credited by unknown. Still never know who though but I guess it is part of God plans for me this December..

Do not envy me cos you never know God might do for you today.

All praise to him

The masses.

Again, the masses.
If you think that despite your access to wealth and influence, you still need my contribution to fund your campaign and to fuel your private jet, you've got another thing coming. You secured a loan with no collateral for a nomination form. With my collateral, I can't even secure a bank loan for business. Besides rallies, posters, airtime and travel logistics, I don't see what you need money for. I don't want to believe the money is for rice, beans and recharge cards. I don't want to believe the money is to woo delegates or to bribe people because you're supposed to be in-corrupt, unlike the rest of the politicians in the race.
If truly you are the people's choice, and as upright as I hope you are, ride on your popularity to Aso rock. You don't need to solicit for funds from the masses. Surely, you have "friends in high places" that can move mountains for your campaign".

Happy New month to all Nairalander

I was just thinking about my past love life experience and I realised some of the mistakes which I had made.. Let me give you one of my embarrassing moment.

Ok. I was inside a public taxi with my ex. Though we had some misunderstanding before leaving the house. We were trying to settle it inside the bus before we get to our destination so that nobody will sense any misunderstanding between us and she was saying some things which I didn't want to hear. I told her to stop but she still continues.. Alas! out of nowhere, I shouted like a mad man inside the bus.. Come and see as how people were starring at us as if we were celebrity. Both I and my girlfriend felt embarrassed to the extent of getting down before getting to our destination.. It is crazy men.

Must he become a president before finding solution to problems in his region? smh

Politicians lying to us since 8BC

LRNZH:
Just a Sunday afternoon musing on #NigeriaVotes2015.

Buhari/Fashola combination will be the most exciting for voters that chose to vote based on personalities and track record.

Reminds me of the excitement Nigerians had over MKO/Kingibe in 92/93 until June-12 cut it all short.

Share your thoughts please. This is not an APC thread.

How about Tambuwal/Fashola? Best replica of MKO/Kingibe

The average poverty rate of the states in the North -West geopolitical zone remained the highest at 71.4 per cent followed by North-East 69.1 per cent and North Central, 60.7 per cent.

The record showed that poverty was least prevalent in the South-West, with an average of 49.8 per cent, followed by South-South, 55.5 per cent and South-East, 59.5 per cent.

Note: The % was rated late 2012.

Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola was born August 24, 1937 in Abeokuta, Ogun State. His name, Kashimawo, means "Let us wait and see".Moshood Abiola was his father's twenty-third child but the first of his father's children to survive infancy, hence the name 'Kashimawo'. It was not until he was 15 years old that he was properly named Moshood, by his parents.

MKO showed entrepreneurial talents at a very young age, at the age of nine he started his first business selling firewood. He would wake up at dawn to go to the forest and gather firewood, which he would then cart back to town and sell before going to school, to support his old father and his siblings. He later founded a band at age fifteen where he would perform at various ceremonies in exchange for food. He eventually became famous enough to start demanding payment for his performances and used the money to support his family and his secondary education at the Baptist Boys High School Abeokuta, where he excelled.

In 1956 Moshood Abiola started his professional life as bank clerk with Barclays Bank plc in Ibadan, South-West Nigeria. After two years he joined the Western Region Finance Corporation as an executive accounts officer before leaving for Glasgow, Scotland to pursue his higher education. From Glasgow University he received a first class degree in accountancy. He also received a distinction from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland. On his return to Nigeria, he worked as a senior accountant at the University of Lagos Teaching Hospital, then went on to Pfizer, before joining the ITT Corporation, where he later rose to the position of Vice-President, Africa and Middle-East of the entire corporation, which was headquartered in the United States. As a result, Moshood Abiola spent a lot of his time and made most of his money in the United States, whilst retaining the post of chairman of the corporation's Nigerian subsidiary. In addition to his duties throughout the Middle-East and Africa, Moshood Abiola invested heavily in Nigeria and West Africa. He set up Abiola Farms, Abiola bookshops, Radio Communications Nigeria, Wonder bakeries, Concord Press, Concord Airlines, Summit oil international ltd, Africa Ocean lines, Habib Bank, Decca W.A. ltd, and Abiola football club. In addition to these, he also managed to perform his duties as Chairman of the G15 business council, President of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, Patron of the Kwame Nkrumah Foundation, Patron of the WEB Du Bois foundation, trustee of the Martin Luther King foundation and director of the International Press Institute.

Moshood Abiola was twice voted international businessman of the year[citation needed], and received numerous honorary doctorates from universities all over the world. In 1987 he was bestowed with the golden key to the city of Washington D.C., and he was bestowed with awards from the NAACP and the King center in the USA, as well as the International Committee on Education for Teaching in Paris, amongst many others. In Nigeria, the Oloye Abiola was made the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland. It is the highest chieftaincy title available to commoners amongst the Yoruba, and has only been conferred by the tribe 14 times in its history. This in effect rendered Abiola the ceremonial War Viceroy of all of his tribespeople. According to the folklore of the tribe as recounted by the Yoruba elders, the Aare Ona Kakanfo is expected to die a warrior in the defence of his nation to prove himself in the eyes of both the divine and the mortal as having been worthy of his title.

Following common tradition, Abiola took four wives; Simibiat Atinuke Shoaga in 1960, Kudirat Olayinki Adeyemi in 1973, Adebisi Olawunmi Oshin in 1974, and Doyinsola (Doyin) Abiola Aboaba in 1981. He is said to have fathered over 40 children from these four marriages. Abiola's second wife, Kudirat, was murdered in the capital city of Lagos in 1996. There was speculation that her death was caused by the military, but no proof was ever found. His third wife, Doyin, ran a newspaper chain he owned until it was closed by the government. In 1992, Abiola was ordered to pay $20,000 a month in child support to a woman who claimed to be his wife. His lawyers argued in a New Jersey court that Abiola had only four wives; this woman was just one of his 19 concubines.

Abiola's involvement in politics started early on in life when he joined the NCNC at age 19. In 1979, the military government kept its word and handed over power to the civilian. As Abiola was already involved in politics, he joined the ruling national party of Nigeria in 1980 and was elected the chairman of his party. Re-election was done in 1983 and everything looked promising since the re-elected president was from Abiola's party and based on the true transition to power in 1979; Abiola was eligible to go for the post of presidential candidate after the tenure of the re-elected president. However, his hope to become the president was shortly dashed away for the first time in 1983 when a military coup d'état swept away the re-elected president of his party and ended civilian rule in the country. After a decade of military rule, General Ibrahim Babangida came under pressure to return democratic rule to Nigeria. After an aborted initial primary, Abiola stood for the presidential nomination of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and beat Ambassador Baba Gana Kingibe and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to secure the presidential nomination of the SDP ahead of the 12 June 1993 presidential elections. Abiola had managed to work his way out of poverty through hard work and symbolised the aspirations of many downtrodden Nigerians. His commitment to the plight of ordinary Nigerians included establishing Abiola bookshops to provide affordable, locally produced textbooks in the 1980s when imported textbooks became out of the reach of ordinary Nigerians as the naira was devalued. He also made available daily necessities such as rice and soap at affordable prices in the market.

For the 12 June 1993 presidential elections, Abiola's running mate was Baba Gana Kingibe. He overwhelmingly defeated his rival, Bashir Tofa of the National Republican Convention. The election was declared Nigeria's freest and fairest presidential election by national and international observers, with Abiola even winning in his Northern opponent's home state. Abiola won at the national capital, Abuja, the military polling stations, and over two-thirds of Nigerian states. The reason why the election was so historic, was because men of Northern descent had largely dominated Nigeria's political landscape since independence. The fact that Moshood Abiola (a Southern Muslim) was able to secure a national mandate freely and fairly remains unprecedented in Nigeria's history. However, the election was annulled by Ibrahim Babangida, a political crisis that ensued which led to General Sani Abacha seizing power later that year.[18] During preparations for the 2011 Nigerian Presidential elections there were calls from several quarters to remember MKO Abiola .

The famed Nigerian Pastor Tunde Bakare is said to have predicted the annulment to Abiola and warned him against contesting.

In 1994 Moshood Abiola declared himself the lawful president of Nigeria in the Epetedo area of Lagos island, an area mainly populated by (Yoruba) Lagos Indigenes. He had recently returned from a trip to win the support of the international community for his mandate. After declaring himself president he was declared wanted and was accused of treason and arrested on the orders of military President General Sani Abacha, who sent 200 police vehicles to bring him into custody. MKO Abiola has been referred to as Nigeria's greatest statesman

Moshood Abiola was detained for four years, largely in solitary confinement with a Bible, Qur'an, and fourteen guards as companions. During that time, Pope John Paul II, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and human rights activists from all over the world lobbied the Nigerian government for his release. The sole condition attached to the release of Chief Abiola was that he renounce his mandate, something that he refused to do, although the military government offered to compensate him and refund his extensive election expenses. For this reason Chief Abiola became extremely troubled when Kofi Annan and Emeka Anyaoku reported to the world that he had agreed to renounce his mandate after they met with him to tell him that the world would not recognise a five-year old election.

Abiola died under suspicious circumstances shortly after the death of General Abacha. Moshood Abiola died on the day that he was due to be released, on 7 July 1998. While the official autopsy stated that Abiola died of natural causes, Abacha's Chief Security Officer, al-Mustapha has alleged that Moshood Abiola was in fact beaten to death. al-Mustapha, who was detained by the Nigerian government, but later released, claims to have video and audiotapes showing how Abiola was beaten to death. The final autopsy report, which was produced by a group of international coroners has never been publicly released.Irrespective of the exact circumstances of his death, it is clear that Chief Abiola received insufficient medical attention for his existing health conditions.

As recounted at the time in a BBC interview with special envoy Thomas R. Pickering, an American delegation, which included Susan Rice, visited Abiola and during their meeting with him, Abiola fell ill, with what was presumed to be a heart attack which caused his death.


Chief MKO Abiola's memory is celebrated in Nigeria and internationally. 12 June remains a public holiday in Lagos and Ogun states. There are also remembrance events arranged across Nigeria. MKO Abiola was known for his charisma and for being a man of the people.As a prominent social activist, democratic freedom fighter, and successful business figure, the continuing support for MKO Abiola is part of his legacy. MKO Abiola Stadium was named in his honour. There were also calls for posthumous presidential recognition.

The Christian Association of Nigeria CAN has condemned the bomb attack that took place yesterday at the Central Mosque in Kano where over 100 persons have been confirmed dead. In a statement released and signed by CAN President, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, the association said the attack on the place of worship is the greatest evil to human beings and to God almighty.
The statement in part reads
"The entire Christian community in Nigeria received the news of the latest in the series of bomb explosions, this time around at the mosque near the Emir’s palace in Kano, with shock and disbelief. This is most unfortunate given the number of people that lost their lives in their bid to offer prayers to their Almighty in the usual Friday worship at the mosque. On behalf of the entire Christians community under the auspices of CAN, I wish to commiserate with the families of the victims especially those who lost their lives in the attack. This attack on the people of Kano is an attack on all Nigerians and must be addressed as such; this is the time for all to rise up and act,. May God help us all as we make this strong efforts at curbing terrorism from our land.”
