President Buhari who is currently on a state visit to China,
visited the Former Chinese Imperial Palace otherwise known
as China's Forbidden city today April 12th. Read a brief
history of the forbidden city as written by Special Adviser to
Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, after the cut.
The city was built from 1406 to 1420 in the reign of the Ming
Dynasty Yongle Emperor. It served as the seat of power for 24
emperors, over the course of 491 years. And why is it called
the Forbidden City? Because it was not just for anybody. Not
for the hoi polloi, nor the flotsam and jetsam of society. Not
for the proleteriat, but only the privileged and dignified. The
poor enter at their own peril. It was off limits to them.
But then, the Hausa say "Seriki goma, zamani goma" (Ten
kings for ten epochs) and then times and seasons would
change. The Forbidden City, located over vast hectares of
land, with over 8,000 buildings and 1,800,000 sets of
artifacts, fell to the 1911 Revolution led by Dr Sun Zhongshan.
Yes, the good does not last forever, neither does the evil last
forever. The Qing Dynasty (which was ruling then) came to an
end, and the city was turned to a museum. Millions of
tourists throng the place today from differnt parts of the
world. A place that was once forbidden to commoners is now
host to anybody and everbody. That is why it is good to
belong to everybody, rather than to a privileged few.
A tour guide took us round the Forbidden City, with its
galleries of ceramics, clocks and watches, and other
treasures, most in pure gold. Members of the dynasty really
lived it up, drawing the wine of life to the full, and "the mere
lees is left the vault to brag of." (William Shakespeare).
The palace museum is believed to be the largest surviving
wooden palace structure in the world. Most of the treasures,
in gold, silver, jade, pearls and other precious materials,
represent the highest artistic level of their time, and the
splendour of the imperial family. Those of them who had died
before the Forbidden City became a public place, would turn
in their graves, if they know what has become of their much
vaunted royal abode. The good does not last forever, neither
does the evil last forever. Seriki goma, zamani goma. The
pauper can become a prince, while the prince can become a
pauper. Time and chance pertains to them all.

Press statement from the presidency below...

PresidentT Muhammadu Buhari says that a committee to
rehabilitate infrastructure and resettle Internally Displaced
Persons, IDPs in the North-East sub-region is soon to be
formally inaugurated. The committee, to be led by a frontline
statesman, Lt.-Gen Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma (rtd) will also
include Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, GCON.
Speaking at the State House, Abuja in response to a goodwill
message delivered to him by a group, Women In Politics
Forum (WIPF), President Buhari announced that all forms of
assistance and aid in this respect generated locally and from
foreign countries as promised by the Group of Seven of
Industrialized Countries,G7 will be channeled through the
committee when it is inaugurated.
He said that he had compiled a list of damaged
infrastructure,including schools and bridges and handed it to
the leaders of the G7 and the United States, adding that "I
didn't ask for a Kobo (in cash). It is up to them to choose
what they will undertake. Already, some of them have sent
teams to verify our assertions." President Buhari decried the
impact of the Boko Haram violence on women and children
declaring that they are its worst victims.
"In the North-East, what I saw for myself and on those clips is
a source of concern for people with conscience. They are
mostly women, and children who are orphaned. Some of them
don't even know where they come from. This is the pathetic
situation in which the country has found itself." He said that
the fight for the return of the Chibok girls is ongoing and
"continues to be a most worrying issue" to his government,
emphasizing that the administration will do all within its
powers in making the best efforts to secure their freedom.
The President acknowledged the case made by the WIPF for
better representation of women in his government and assured
that women would fare well in the composition of parastatals
and their boards in the first quarter of this year. He also
defended the records of the administration in response to
criticism that it is slow, arguing that steps must taken with
caution to avoid mistakes.
"People say we are slow. We are trying to change structures
put in place by our predecessors in office for 16 years. If we
hurry it, we will make mistakes. That will be a disaster."
President Buhari assured that the country has a budget
proposal for the new year that is good for employment and
manufacturing. "By the end of the second quarter, the full
impact of these positive measures will be felt," he told the
visiting women.
The WIPF, made up of women leaders from 26 registered
political parties led by Barrister Ebere Ifendu of the Labour
Party expressed their full support for the government's war on
corruption and insecurity. They asked the administration to
usher in laws to promote gender equity as well as action
towards the implementation of the Violence Against Persons
Prohibition Act. The Women's group made the record of being
the first organization to be received by the President in the
New Year.

Governor Ibikunke Amosun of Ogun State will any-
time from now dissolve his cabinet in preparation
for the inauguration of his second term in office.
Amosun who was declared winner of governorship
election held April 11 by the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, was reportedly in
dilemma over the choice of new members of his
cabinet to help him govern the state.
A reliable source informed Vanguard that the
governor had ordered all the members of his
cabinet to resubmit their Curriculum Vitae ahead
of his second term inauguration.
In his first term, Amosun had made use of
technocrats to the detriment of party members
who worked for his emergence. This gesture had
pitched him against some members and leaders
of the party.
His insistence to use technocrats instead of
politicians who had worked for his emergence
prompted many of the party stalwarts including
former governor of the state, Aremo Olusegun
Osoba and his loyalists to dump the party for the
Social Democratic Party, SDP.
The exit of Osoba and his loyalists which included
three senators and five members of House of
Representatives, as well as four members of the
state House of assembly gave Amosun free hands
to operate without being challenged by anyone.
The governor who had a field day in choosing
who worked with him during his first time ignored
a list of commissioner-nominees submitted by
Osoba who was then, the party leader. Now that,
no one could claim to be the party leader with
Osoba’s status, Amosun expectedly should have
more independence to choose who works with
him in his second term as cabinet members.
Amosun’s Dilemma
Ahead of his second term emergence as governor,
Amosun had reportedly entered into some accord
with some political bigwigs in the state with a
view to accommodating them by proxy in his
cabinet. Those whom Amosun had reportedly
sought political help from include; former
President Olusegun Obasanjo who directed his
‘boys’ to work for the governor success at the
poll.
Obasanjo, according to the findings, did not only
throw his weight behind Amosun by taking
campaign to market places, he also reportedly
provided logistics for the governor’s success at
the poll.
Amosun is perhaps indebted to Obasanjo and his
boys and must honour his pledge. Apart from the
Obasanjo factor, other factors that put the
governor in a fix include, the slots for those who
financed his elections covertly and overtly. The
slots for Alake and paramount ruler of Egbaland,
Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo and the Awujale of
Ijebuland Oba Sikiru Adetona.
Other people who may have slots in Amosun’s
cabinet include the party; his political associates,
loyalists and family members.
A source hinted Vanguard that, the governor had
instructed party leaders to submit 20 names each
from the local governments.
According to the findings, five of the names
would be nominees for Federal government
appointments, five for state appointments and the
remaining ten would be for local governments
appointments.
It was further gathered that, the governor was
said to have assured the party leaders that he
would pick his nominees from the names they
submitted.
The governor was also quoted to have pledged to
ensure that he creates some boards appointments
so as to create avenues for his people to benefit
as a mark of compensation.
Further findings have shown that, the plan by the
governor to create 32 additional Local Council
Development Areas to complement the 20 local
governments in the state was a way to expand
the chance of compensating his numerous
people.
However, the governor was said to have decided
to retain few commissioners among his 20
commissioners that served in his first term
administration.
A check by Vanguard showed that, commissioners
for Finance, Kemi Adeosun, Works and
infrastructure; Lekan Adegbite, Information,
Yusuph Olaniyonu, Local Government and
Chieftaincy Affairs, Muyiwa Oladipo and Forestry,
Ayo Olubori were being favourably considered for
retention.
According to the information gathered, some
commissioners are not coming back because of
their poor performance while some will not be
retained because of the greater appointments
awaiting them.
The governor was however, said to be angry with
some political office holders especially in Ogun
East and West where the party did not perform
well.
According to the source, some of them had
collected huge money from the governor for
campaign and motivation during the election, but
refused to spend it.
The gesture, reportedly infuriated the governor
who vowed to ensure they are not returned.
The governor, though, had free hand to nominate
the people that would work with him, he still has
challenges on who and how to choose next set of
people to work with in his second term.
This time around, it was reliably gathered that,
the governor would use more politicians than
technocrats in his second term administration.

SOUNDKING:
good ke, na death penalty. Engaging in an unplanned and notwell surpported coup is the worst mistake any man can ever make.

but they surrendered.its not like they were caught or something.

The White House was briefly put on lockdown
Thursday as the Secret Service detained an
individual for flying a small drone in an adjacent
park.
President Barack Obama was not in the residence
at the time.
In a statement, the Secret Service said the
individual was seen flying the Parrot Bebop device
in Lafayette Park at an altitude of about 100 feet
(35 meters).
He was detained by uniformed Secret Service
officers as the park — filled at lunch hour on a
sunny spring day — was swiftly evacuated and
the White House was briefly put on lockdown.
“As a precaution, the small UAV was swept and
declared safe,” said the Secret Service, which
released a photo of the red quadracopter — a
popular consumer model with a video camera
built in.
The operator was later identified by the United
States Park Police as Ryan MacDonald, 39, of
Vacaville, California.
That police agency said in a statement that the
man was arrested “for violating federal law.” It
did not elaborate other than to say MacDonald
was cited and it is to appear in court.
Obama was meeting Gulf leaders at his rural
Camp David retreat in Maryland at the time of the
incident.
Flying drones of any size is prohibited within the
US capital — a point that the Federal Aviation
Administration is underscoring in a “no-drone
zone” publicity campaign it launched earlier this
week.
In January, a DJI Phantom drone — another
consumer model — crashed onto the White House
grounds after it slipped out of the control of the
federal employee who was flying it in the early
hours of the morning.
The incident was deemed to be an accident and
no charges were filed.
A similar Parrot Bebop, weighing about one pound
(500 grams), was flown indoors in January at the
Capitol during a House of Representatives
committee hearing on unmanned aircraft
technology.

Aggrieved members in PDP in Adamawa state
who failed to secure their party's ticket in the
last general elections have demanded a return of
the money they paid for the party's nomination
forms.
Addressing newsmen in Yola, the Adamawa state
capital today May 14th, the leader of the
aggrieved politicians who gathered under the
aegis of PDP Aggrieved Aspirants Forum, Liazaru
Aliada-Gugu, threatened to drag the party to
court if their money is not returned.
“We the aggrieved PDP aspirants bought
forms to contest the primary election and
since they did not conduct any primary
election, it is only natural for them to
return our money. We have made our
request known to the leadership of our
party both at the state and national level.
They have promised to address the issue
but up till now they have not done
anything. When we met the national
leader of the party and the national
chairman of the party, they agreed to do
something about us and we were
satisfied with that meeting. But after
several weeks of waiting without response
we are left with no other option than to
take our case to court.”he said

His age though.20 years. so he started when he was 11.

20-year old Joberi Pyagbara, a Rivers state
based cult member, (pictured below) says he
killed and buried a rival cult member in a
community close to his own after a rival cult
group known as Dewua stormed his community
and killed his friends who belonged to his own
cult group known as Dewell.
Speaking with Punch , Joberi said he joined the
cult in 2006 after working as a conductor for
some years. He said after dropping his arms as
a militant for the federal governments amnesty
programme, he decided to pick up arms again
after the killing of his friends.
"I was arrested by the police because of
cultism. It was during a community fight.
Members of a cult group killed some of
my friends and we decided to avenge
and killed two. When the other cult group
(Demua) came, they scattered the
community.
Many people ran away while they killed
our friends. I belong to Dewell. We don’t
kill, but when anybody offends us, we go
after him. They (other cult group) started
it all by killing our members and we had
to fight back. It is true that I killed one
person and buried him in my community,
Eken in Khana Local Government Area. I
dug a small grave and did it (buried him).
As a cultist, I felt satisfied when I killed
those who killed my friends.
Though we surrendered our weapons
when the amnesty programme came,
when we noticed that a rival cult group
was attacking us and killing some of our
friends, we had to look for arms and
decided to revenge. I am 20 years old. I
am part of the amnesty programme; I
have never involved myself in crime after
the amnesty, but the killings of my
friends took me back to cultism.
Those cult people cut our friends’ head
and then we agreed that we must
avenge. I joined cultism in 2006. We
always hustle to get money to finance
the group. I work as a conductor or
collect money from commercial drivers
at bus-stops. If I am freed, I will be a
good person and will not join cultism
again. I regret all my actions, especially
the killings” he said

A Miami man, Daniel Sion Palmer, 26, man
was recently arrested after authorities say he
robbed a man at gunpoint, took off running
and returned moments later to complain that
the stolen goods were fake.
The incident happened about 3 a.m. when
Palmer allegedly pointed a gun at a man from
New York, grabbed his gold chain and then
took off.
Police say Palmer apparently was not
satisfied with his freshly stolen jewelry, and
so he approached the victim again a block
away, just so he could tell him the jewelry
was fake.
"That was a brazen move and because of that
he was able to be apprehended," Det. Ernesto
Rodriguez said.
The victim was able to flag police down and
point out Palmer, who was now driving a
Mercedes. Investigators say he sped
disregarding the police officers who had
turned on their lights and sirens, he was
eventually apprehended and arrested.
He has since been charged with armed
robbery, fleeing and eluding, reckless driving
and possession of a suspended license, police
said.
