Politics / An Open Letter To The President-elect, General Mohammadu Buhari by b0dnel: 2:38pm On May 14, 2015
Mr. President-Elect,

I am delighted writing this letter to you while listening to the King of Soul-Sam Cooke’s “A change is gonna come”. Yes indeed it’s been a long, a long time coming. First and foremost, I would like to congratulate you on the just concluded general elections. The mammoth crowd which graced your campaigns as you travelled the length and breadth of Nigeria is legendary. In the face of hunger, corruption and a devastating terrorist insurgency in the North East of the country, Nigerians came out in their numbers to vote. The low turnout during the gubernatorial elections was quite surprising. This should tell you that Nigerians voted for you and not necessarily for the APC.

Nonetheless, I intend to remind you of the plethora of promises you and your party made during your political campaigns throughout the country. The elections are now over. You must now move from criticizing the outgoing government to delivering the promise of change not a change of promises.
I don’t want you to fail as that will be counterproductive to Nigerians, however, it will be fraudulent to lower the standard, applicable to your incoming government.

1. On a live interview on ChannelsTV, when asked how you intend to manage the economy in the face of dwindling oil prices, you promised to “stabilize the oil market and run an accountable government”. While I trust you on the latter, I am still trying to understand how you intend to achieve the former.

2. You promised to provide free education to all primary and secondary school pupils. I want to believe this will apply to all 36 states and FCT and not just the APC states.

3. You equally promised to provide daily meals for all primary school pupils. I cannot understand the magical thinking that the FG will bypass state governors to provide "free meals to school kids”. First of all, the FG has no business with the running of Primary schools. This is the responsibility of States and Local Governments. However, since you pledged to provide we shall hold you accountable.

4. You also promised to make the Naira to be equal in value to the Dollar. Although this has been misinterpreted by many to mean NGN1=$1, it won’t hurt to know that my NGN20.00 in my pocket is as valuable as $20. Chai, do this and you have my vote come 2019.

5. You promised to revamp huge coal deposits in Enugu State for generation of electricity and export and thus provide about one million jobs.

6.Apart from the one million jobs from the coal mining industry, within the same period, you promised 740, 000 direct jobs in each of the 36 states (i.e. 20,000 per state) of the federation and the FCT within one year.

7. You promised to pay direct conditional monthly cash transfers of NGN5, 000 to the 25 million poorest and most vulnerable citizens upon demonstration of children’s enrolment in school and immunization. The implication here is that the sum of N125billion (i.e. 25million * N5000) will be spent to service this policy every month, and an estimated N1.5 trillion (i.e. N125bn * 12 months) will be spent on this policy alone every year. You know it’s easy to critique the government but does Nigeria really have the money to finance this with the 40 percent drop in national income and dwindling oil price in the international market? Time will tell.

8. You also promised a guaranteed generation of 20,000 megawatts of electricity in four years. As I write this piece, Nigeria generates about 5,500MW of power. This means you have the next four years to deliver on your promise. Time is of essence, General.

9. You promised to provide allowances/stipends to discharged but unemployed Youth Corps members for 12 months while they seek jobs or acquire training and skills for job placement or entrepreneurship. In addition to this, you guaranteed that loans will be made available upon completion. What I don’t know is when this initiative will kick off and how much the said allowances will be.

10. You promised the construction of one million low-cost houses within four years for the poor. Now some people have misinterpreted this to mean free homes, maybe you will have to explain better. In addition to this, you assured that Nigerians of varying income levels can access affordable mortgages at single-digit interest rates based on federal guarantees to the mortgage lenders.

11. You promised to create additional 2 million new home owners for the middle-class in your first year in government and 1 million annually thereafter at the same single digit interest rates for purchase of owner occupier houses. The outgoing Government via the Nigeria Mortgage Refinance Company Plc offered mortgages at double digit rates for a period of 20years. I am hopeful your government will continue that initiative at the single-digit interest rate promised.

12. You promised to embark on a National Infrastructural Development Programme as a PPP that will ensure the (a) construction of 3,000km of Superhighway including service trunks and (b) building of up to 4,800km of modern railway lines – one third to be completed by 2019; this must as a matter of urgency start immediately as 2019 is around the corner.

13. Still on the PPP schemes, you assured that at least one functioning airport is available in each of the 36 states. This is perhaps an easy promise to deliver as there are about 26 airports in Nigeria presently.

14. You promised to speedily pass the much-delayed Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB). This is one bill the outgoing President also promised to pass. What is going to happen now is we are back to square one in terms of the legislative process. Thankfully your party now holds majority in both houses which make up the National Assembly, so there should be no reason why this bill should not be passed in your first year.

15. You promised to establish at least six new universities of science and technology with satellite campuses in various states in addition to technical colleges and vocational centers in each state of the federation as well as six centers of excellence to address the needs of special education.

16. You promised to increase the quality of ALL federal government owned hospitals to world class standard within 5 years. Emm, your first tenure is 4 years so let’s keep this promise to 4 years, please.

17. You promised to provide free ante-natal care for pregnant women, free health care for babies and children up to school going age and for the aged and free treatment for those afflicted with infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS based on a national health insurance scheme. This is a welcome development but again how would this work in Nigeria where some state Governors owe salary and health workers go on strike for months?

18.You promised to provide free tertiary education to students pursuing Science and Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).

19. You promised to provide free tertiary education to education majors and stipends prior to their employment as teachers. This means that teachers who want to go to University will enjoy free education? Excellent idea, Mr. President-Elect, excellent idea.

20. In a speech at the Chatham House, The Royal Institute of International affairs in London -You promised to "lead from the front" in the fight against Boko Haram if elected. Whatever this means, Nigerians want to see Boko Haram completely annihilated.

General, space will not allow me to list the deluge of other promises that I have read about during the campaign period.
In case the above were just embellished words and nicely written manifesto to bamboozle Nigerians into voting for you, you have less than two months to plot a solid strategy that must be focused on delivering these promises. If you can accomplish all these promises in the next four years, then it will be certain that change has truly come; otherwise in 2019 our collective mantra will be “FLUSH”. Yes we will flush you and your team out in a single heart beat!
Politics / Just Before The 2015 General Elections-an Open Letter To Prof. Attahiru Jega by b0dnel: 4:20pm On Mar 26, 2015
Dear Prof. Attahiru Jega,

I am constrained to write you this letter as you still remain at the helm of affairs despite calls from well-meaning Nigerians (including myself) that you should be fired before the elections. Now, the reasons may be different, I still believe INEC is ill-prepared for the forth coming elections. The ball is however in your court to prove your critics wrong.

Despite the six week extension given granted, INEC still did not print up to 200,000 PVCs belonging to Lagos. If there is anyone who thinks this will not have a major impact on the outcome of the Presidential election on Saturday should go back and check how Gov. Fashola won Senator Obanikoro in the 2007 gubernatorial election. I hope these PVCs will be made available before April 11th.

As you stated before the council of state, the international community and all Nigerians on Saturday 7th, INEC is adequately prepared but the security chiefs “had in written advisory said they cannot provide statutory security during the February elections because of the commencement of anti- insurgency operations in the north east part of the country on February 14”. Numerous events afterwards have proven that this excuse was not tenable to say the least.

Prof, you have had six weeks anyway to get your acts together so we will have a hitch free elections. This brings me to the reason why I am writing to you. You have said many times that 2015 elections will be different from any other elections held so far. This can only happen if we do not experience any of the following:

1. Late arrival of both sensitive and non-sensitive electoral materials: - This has been an issue since 1999. I want to believe you have put all machinery in position to avoid this. As a matter of fact, we shouldn’t even be discussing this in 2015. We don big pass so.

2. Late arrival of INEC Ad-hoc staff:- This cannot even be an issue in 2015. I want to believe measures have been put in place for INEC staff to pass the night at the RACs (Registration Area Centers). If you leave the RACs by 5 a.m. then by 6.30 – 7 a.m., INEC officials should already be at the polling stations waiting for voters.

3. Late start of Accreditation and voting: - The accreditation time off 8am-1pm and voting from 1:30pm. This can only be sacrosanct if both INEC officials and the materials arrive on time. Kindly ensure!

4. Voters not finding their names on the register: - A situation where this occurs and voters are advised to go to other polling stations to check their names is so old school. This cannot happen in 2015 abeg.

5. Thugs allegedly carted away voting material:- This has remain one of the biggest problems faced on election day. I want to believe we will have a drastic reduction of such incidences.

6. Card Readers issues: - I want to believe with the Pilot exercise carried out; all issues relating to card readers have been taken care of. While I am not too comfortable with the issuance of “Incidence form”, measures should be put in place for checks and balances. If the card readers work excellently well, this singular idea will reduce, if not curb rigging completely.

7. Under-Age voters: - I don’t know INEC tends to prevent under-age voters because we witnessed a lot of under-age voters from a part of the country during the last elections. Some even had the effrontery to be shown on national television claiming to be 13 years old.

8. Votes cast higher than the number of accredited voters: My recommendation here is simple-Cancel the results of any polling unit where such occurs. One will imagine that such cannot happen with the card readers transmitting the number of accredited voters to the central server and the issuance of ballot papers to only accredited voters. But this is Nigeria. Anything can still happen. So an outright cancellation of such results will ensure the credibility of the election results.

---to be contd

Yours Sincerely,
Kevwe Kofi

1025: if u ask me, i will tell you that jonathan has even done more than he promised.
by the way, during his promises, he never promised to make fuel sale for N97 but that he did.
he did not promise to legalize corruption but today, ribadu and elrufai that ran away from justice were brought back as national heroes by jonathan while alams is no longer a criminal.
did any one of us here hear jonathan promising us war? but today nigeria is fighting a war.
again, jonathan did not promise us that he will sack any performing minister and keep lazy and criminal minded ones but he sacked Barth Nnaji.
he promised us free and fair election and we saw that in his home state where anointed candidate was rejected for the ppl's man.
ok, who can tell me of any president whose wife is a perm sec. in the state of origin?
jonathan is the best president the world has ever seen.
if i may ask, will a performing president look for scorecards when the roads, river niger second bridge, security, employment, low rate of corruption, quality education, hospitals etc are in place here and there.

A microfinance bank manager disappears with the deposits of his customers.

Are the customers not victims?

Were the customers forced to make a deposit?

Are the customers not over 18 years of age?

This pardon was granted by- The Council of State-comprised of the president, all former heads of the government of the Federation, all former Chief Justices of Nigeria, President of the Senate, Speaker of the House of Representatives, all state governors and the attorney general of the federation. So I honestly don't get it. I will be surprised if Abati wrote another article yesterday praising Alams to high heavens and claiming he didnt steal or he dint deserve what he got.
At times I wonder...

You just took the words out of my mouth. some Ops here will quote anything just to achieve their goal. and by so digressing the main issue at hand.
