All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Gen. Muhammadu Buhari yesterday asked Nigerians not to lose hope because change is imminent in the country.

He said 2015 is a year of change for the nation, which the forthcoming elections would bring.

Gen. Buhari listed a five-point change agenda which he would implement – if elected president.

He pledged to change the nation’s debilitating dependence on crude oil to earn revenue.

Gen. Buhari, who explained the change he has envisioned for the nation in a New Year message, pledged to provide mass employment, adequate security, fight corruption, improve infrascptructure and good health care.

A statement by Director of Communications Buhari Campaign Organisation, Mr. Dele Alake, said: “I have unshakeable faith that 2015 will be the year of change. Now some of you have asked me: what exactly does ‘change’ mean?

“I have taken time to explain this at different opportunities, but on this special day, let me remind you in five short statements.

Change means:

•A country that you can be proud of at anytime and anywhere: where corruption is tackled, where your leaders are disciplined and lead with vision and clarity; where the stories that emerge to the world from us are full of hope and progress.

•A Nigeria in which neither yourselves, nor your parents, families or friends will have to fear for your safety, or for theirs.

•A Nigeria where citizens get the basics that any country should provide: infrastructure that works, healthcare that is affordable, even free; respect for the environment and sustainable development, education that is competitive and outcome-oriented in a knowledge-economy.

•A country that provides jobs for its young people, reducing unemployment to the lowest of single digits and providing safety nets so that no one is left behind.

•A Nigeria where entrepreneurship thrives, enterprise flourishes and the government gets out of your way so that you can create value, build the economy and aggressively expand wealth.

The APC candidate expressed confidence that the five agenda are implementable.

He said: “Are these things truly possible? Of course. That is the essence and outcome of leadership, and that is what my party and I promise you as we get into 2015.My dear friends, this New Year, more than ever before, I am hopeful about Nigeria.

“Yes, you are disappointed and you are angry, as you are entitled to, but you must never give in to the temptation to feel so weighed down by those who have failed you that you lose your hope and your energy and your passion to see change. You must never give up on Nigeria.

“Together, we can build a nation that is secure, prosperous and gives everyone a fair chance.

“This is the promise that 2015 holds. That is the promise that change will bring. That is the promise that I bring to you.”

Gen. Buhari said although 2014 was challenging for the nation, Nigerians should not lose hope or despair.

He added: “The year 2014 was a challenging one for most citizens of our dear country.

“We remember our compatriots who were brutishly killed or maimed by evil terrorists in 2014. I remember with a still broken heart that 219 of our children from Chibok are yet missing, let down by a country that should protect them. I remember that, even as I speak, some of our towns and villages are yet under the occupation of Boko Haram.

“Yes, it is enough for you to despair. It is enough for you to wonder if your country cares about you and can protect you. But do not despair.

“Two thousand and fifthen has arrived at a time of great discomfort; but the beauty of the New Year is that we can look forward with renewed hope and the knowledge that things can and will change.”

Gen. Buhari repeatedly assured that Nigerians will begin to write a new story as from 2015.

He said: “In Nigeria’s case, we can truly look forward to the change that the elections can, and will, bring. Our country will be secure again. Our country will prosper again.

“I have faith that 2015 is the year we shall begin to write a new story – a story of our youth creating jobs and expanding the frontiers of innovation and creativity everywhere from Mavin Records to the Co-Creation Hub; a story of genuine investment in our children and students be they in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka or in the Delta State University, Abraka; a country that finally makes a permanent shift from our debilitating dependence on the free-falling price of crude oil.http://thenationonlineng.net/new/2015-five-point-agenda-buhari/

Hahahahaha funny.

For me bank alert is my best sms.

When some Nigerian politicians speaks i perceive a smell of money that is been used to make them drunk.Am not from Rivers but the fact remains that PDP cannot win that state in 2015 watch out.Let wike go and suck the breast of madam patience until he is matured enough because that wike i saw during ASUU strike is not qualify to be a governor.

This PDP and APC news on nairaland is making me feel bad.Everytime is APC or PDP and people will start abusing our leaders.

As for me i joined nairaland when i was still searching for admission into the university, so i joined to get information about my school.

Am a strong supporter of Jonathan but this statement makes me uncomfortable. Why will he say that now or because of his ambition? I don't believe in the long run but in the short run.Kaynes the greatest economist said that in the long run we will all be death.In the short run noting happened then now is long run when some people that voted for him will be death.

The first adjudication point is at Mary Slessor Avenue where
the five carnival bands will all pass by with their
presentation, we have an exciting crowd here waiting for the
them, The party is still on # CelebrationTime

Hajiya Maryam Babangida was the mother of the nation,
being Nigeria’s finest First Lady when Gen. Ibrahim
Babangida, her husband, was the military President. Late
Mrs Babangida launched many programmes in order to
improve the lot of the womenfolk in Nigeria.
She was a role model to many Nigerian women. Maryam
Babangida will forever be remembered for her passion,
determination and influence for ensuring a better, self-
reliant, independent and strong Nigerian woman.
In 1983, president of the Nigerian Army Officers Wives
Association (NAOWA), Mrs Babangida commissioned
schools, clinics, women training centres and child day
care centres, proving that she was indeed a mother who
cared for all.
In 1987, she founded the Better Life Programme for Rural
Women, which led to launching of so many co-operative
societies, cottage industries, farms/gardens, shops/
markets, women centres and social welfare programs, all
for the benefit of the women of her fatherland. In 1993,
the Maryam Babangida National Centre for Women
Development was established for research, training, and
to mobilise women towards self-emancipation

Despite assurances by the Independent National Electoral
Commission, it failed to display the list of presidential
candidates for the 2015 general elections on Friday.
But political parties have continued to submit the list of
candidates for the governorship and State Houses of
Assembly elections to beat deadlines stipulated by INEC.
Although the commission has explained that the list of
candidates, except that of the Presidency would be
displayed in the constituencies, Saturday PUNCH learnt
during a visit to INEC Headquarters that as of 5.30 pm on
Friday, the presidential candidates’ list had yet to be
displayed.
A source in the legal department of the commission told our
correspondent that none of the lists of candidates were
published in Abuja.
“Even the list of Presidential candidates would be
published in the constituencies and not Abuja. The reason
is to allow any person who has any complaints about
papers filed by the Presidential candidates to do so,” he
stated.
The Director of Voter Education and Publicity in INEC, Mr.
Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi and the Chief Press Secretary to INEC
Chairman, Mr. Kayode Idowu, made the clarifications
regarding the publications in the constituencies in separate
interviews with our correspondent.
When asked if the lists of candidates have been published,
Osaze-Uzzi said, “Well I am aware that it has been
published. I am not in Abuja and have not checked the
website. It is published in the constituencies. So you need
to get to the states. I know that we have published what we
could for instance in Anambra State; but I don’t know what
has been published.”
Several calls and text messages to the Anambra Resident
Electoral Commissioner, Prof Chukwuemeka Onukaogu,
were not replied.
Idowu on his part explained that the lists would be
published in the constituencies, except that of Presidential
candidates.
He said, “The lists are submitted in Abuja, but I think what
the law says is that we publish it in the constituencies. So,
for the Presidency for instance, the constituency is national
and it will most likely be published in INEC office in Abuja.
But for the others, including the list of candidates for
Senatorial and House of Representatives elections, I
suspect they may be published in the state offices of INEC.”
Yesterday (Friday) was the last day of grace for political
parties which had yet to submit the names of their
candidates for governorship and House of Assembly
elections to the INEC, according to the time table released
by the commission.
The deadline for the submission of forms for governorship
and House of Assembly elections had earlier been shifted
from December 25 to December 26, 2014 because of the
holiday.
Prospective candidates for the Presidency and National
Assembly in the 2015 general elections had submitted their
Forms CF001 and CF002 at INEC Headquarters.Source punch.

please what is the perfect English for this soup the draw.We are seriously arguing here.

Usually these deadly diseases kill the most vulnerable
part of nation – women and children. Annually they kill
much more people than Ebola.
1. Malaria (20% of deaths annually)
Malaria Consortium Nigeria informs that 11% of all child
deaths in the world happen in Nigeria.
The leading reason for them is malaria. Nearly 250,000 of
Nigerian children die every year from malaria. Despite
the fact that the most vulnerable for this diseases are
pregnant women and children, the entire population is at
risk.
2. Lower Respiratory Infections (19%)
Pneumonia and some other lower respiratory tract
diseases are the second leading case of deaths in
Nigeria. The main way of preventing it – an early
treatment. These kind of diseases affect children and
adults equally.
3 HIV (9%)
Nigeria has the second-largest number of people living
with HIV. in Nigeria the HIV prevalence rate among
adults ages 15–49 was 3.1% in the beginning of 2014.
Youth is more vulnerable to this disease and young
women are at higher risk that young men. Main cases of
getting HIV in Nigeria – heterosexual transmissions.
Diarrheal Diseases (5%)
4 Diarrheal diseas are common at the vast of African
countries. According to the UNESCO statistics, the
diarrhea death rate in Nigeria is 18.8% and is one of the
worst result in sub-Sahara Africa. Diarrhea is a case of
over 16% of child deaths in Nigeria. 150,000 deaths
mainly amongst children under five occur annually
because this disease. Usually it is caused by poor
sanitation and hygiene practices.
5. Meningitis (3%)
The worst thing about meningitis is that it usually has
very bad consequences for general health even after
recovery. For example on 2009 large outbreak of this
illness caused more than 75 000 cases and 4000
deaths in northern Nigeria and southern Niger.

Boxing Day takes place on December 26th and is only
celebrated in a few countries. It was started in the UK
about 800 years ago, during the Middle Ages. It was the
day when the alms box, collection boxes for the poor
often kept in churches, were traditionally opened so that
the contents could be distributed to poor people. Some
churches still open these boxes on Boxing Day.
It might have been the Romans that first brought this
type of collecting box to the UK, but they used them to
collect money for the betting games which they played
during their winter celebrations!
In Holland , some collection boxes were made out of a
rough pottery called 'earthenware' and were shaped like
pigs. Perhaps this is where we get the term 'Piggy
Bank'!
The Christmas Carol , Good King Wenceslas, is set on
Boxing Day and is about a King in the Middle Ages who
brings food to a poor family.
It was also traditional that servants got the day off to
celebrate Christmas with their families on Boxing Day.
Before World War II, it was common for working people
(such as milkmen and butchers) to travel round their
delivery places and collect their Christmas box or tip.
This tradition has now mostly stopped and any
Christmas tips, given to people such as postal workers
and newspaper delivery children, are not normally
given or collected on Boxing Day.
Boxing Day has now become another public holiday in
countries such as the UK , Canada, Australia and New
Zealand. It is also the traditional day that Pantomimes
started to play. There are also often sports played on
Boxing Day in the UK, especially horse racing and
football matches!
The 26th December is also St. Stephen's Day. Just to
confuse things, there are two St. Stephens in history!
The first St. Stephen was a very early follower of Jesus
and was the first Christian Martyr (a person who dies
for their religious beliefs). He was stoned to death by
Jews who didn't believe in Jesus.
The second St. Stephen was a Missionary, in Sweden, in
the 800s. He loved all animals but particularly horses
(perhaps why there is traditionally horse racing on
boxing day). He was also a martyr and was killed by
pagans in Sweden. In Germany there was a tradition
that horses would be ridden around the inside of the
church during the St. Stephen's Day service!
