At no point did APC "officially "said GMB was in London granting interview, although I would have expected them to refute the claim immediately so that people like Fayose would not have any cause to run their mouth,i see no reason why they should apologise,Guardian made the error no APC,btw Ameachi and his team has to double up,they are sleeping.

We need Buharia back in Lagos, Abuja, or even Daura his village if he feels comfortable there to debate his nemesis GEJ.

Deltagiant:
Again, I remember when the American Mitt Romney thought he'd got it and began doing what Buhari is now doing - being presumptious of the out come of an election that was yet to hold. The incumbent Obama not only won but beat him with a historical landslide. Buhari, please return to Nigeria and get busy with the election - stop being presumptious. We've got one president for now and he is Goodluck Jonathan.

Illiterate!

He is not a speaker at the conference and obviously has nothing to say on the subject matter.
If you can read read!

Hanging out with the post Iraq war Tony Blair is a bad look.

Well, at least it shows the Anglo-American dons got the man's back like the Verizon man...he's their man.

Archbishop of Canterbury and now Tony muthaphucking Blair (my formal idol before George Bush turned him out) - don't mess with that guy.He has their blessings already.

They can spread LIES and falsehood but truth will surely catch up & overtake them in due course.

All I can do here is quote Field Ruwe's article



The problem is....we prefer to share money rather than to use it. We would rather fight wars over how the oil money should be shared...instead of using that oil money to build things.

nwafuluozoh:
APC knows it will be defeated at the polls, so it keeps making baseless accusations against GEJ so as to save face after the elections.

sincerenigerian:
I want to know how Jonathan led the overgtrow of Gbagbo. Is there any evidence to support that notion?

Following what the All Progressives Congress described as the growing threat to the lives of its leaders, some of the party’s chieftains have resorted to making private security arrangements.
SUNDAY PUNCHgathered on Friday that part of these arrangements included engaging private security guards (some of which allegedly carry arms) as well as beefing up security in and around their homes and offices.
Some of the party members volunteered this information on the condition of anonymity.
One of them explained that the chieftains were forced to make backup plans because it was becoming clear that the Peoples Democratic Party-led Federal Government would withdraw the services of regular security men as the elections approach.
He said, “We cannot pretend we don’t know what the PDP is up to. There is more to the deliberate harassment of our leaders by security agencies within the last one week.
“First, it was Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Rochas Okorocha; then our Presidential Campaign Director of Media, Mr. Garba Shehu. Only God knows who will be next.
“It was in this same country during election period that Chief Harry Marshal and Bola Ige were killed. Only a careless person will rely solely on government security men who can be withdrawn at any time.”
In Rivers State, the state chapter of the APC said its members were relying on “natural human instincts” to protect party leaders from assassination plots.
The state Publicity Secretary, Mr. Chris Fynebone, told one of our correspondents that no matter how the party’s political detractors tried to intimidate its leaders, it would be impossible to eliminate all of them.
The Kwara State Secretary of the party, Mr. Adekanye Olabode, also said the party had written to all relevant security agencies to provide security for its prominent members.
Olabode said, “We cannot do anything that is contrary to the law. So we have taken the legal step. We have also committed our lives to God’s hand who can best secure human lives.”
Similarly, the Akwa Ibom State spokesperson of the APC, Mr. Udobong Samuel, said the soldiers’ siege on Tinubu’s house could mean that none of the party’s candidates was safe in the hands of the security agencies.
He said “When we hear something like this we raise the alarm because if we don’t do this, something else may happen.”
Although the Ogun State chapter of the party declined to give details of its security arrangements, it said it was not leaving anything to chance.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Lai Mohammed, also said the party would rely on the security provided by the Nigerian people.
He noted that the use of security services to serve the interest of those in power was not only weakening their capabilities but also putting democracy at risk.
But reacting to reports that some politicians’ security men were carrying arms, the police said it was illegal for politicians’ private security guards to bear arms.http://www.punchng.com/news/apc-resorts-to-private-security-guards/

CAPITAL
Still on capital, a lot of people have given up on their desired business simply because they lack the capital needed to start up.

Though there are many ways people raise capital for their new businesses, some through loan from bank, family, friends etc. But not everyone is so lucky or fortunate to have it that way.

Here, I will be talking from practical experience - using my self as an example. I think it's better to write what has worked for me than some un-practical and unrealistic approaches which I have seen many times.

Okay, let's assume you need like N400,000 capital (just for instance it can be more than that or less) for your business and all you have is like N5,000 -10,000 at hand, the best thing to do is start up something small with it. Yes I know what's running through your mind right now....lols. Just keep following, if it works for me, it'll work for anyone that follows my rules/principles.

There'll always be that business that can help you increase the money weekly, once you identify that small business, put in the money and keep it going for a while, as the money increases there'll always be another small business that will help you increase the money the more, reinvest the money into it and keep it growing.

The "small small" businesses might not really be what you want to do, it may even look odd to you but who cares? So long you have a goal, that's all that matters. Permit me here to announce this, God's grace by March I'm launching a new business and I hope to share pictures from the opening with us here. Call me jack of all trades yes, master of all; small small businesses giving birth to bigger ones.

Sometimes the smaller business you begin with can be hard to leave behind because to some people that's all you want to do as your main business and you already have them as your faithful customers but you know you have a bigger one ahead.

I know a lot of people will be amazed as usual with the launch of my new business. But the idea has been there, just waiting for the capital to bring it to life, and as big as it may look to some people, it's still one of the small small business to me, bigger one is yet to come.

Now, how to identify or find the ''small small'' lucrative business is another issue and that's what we'll be dealing with next. I shall be telling us how to identify a lucrative business and the sure ones that I know.

Nigerians have rejected the highlights of the
forensic audit report on the operations of the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation,
NNPC, released last Thursday by the federal
government.
The report presented by the Auditor General of
the Federation, AuGF, Samuel Ukura, showed
that total revenue generated from crude oil
lifting by NNPC on behalf of the Federal
Government was $69.34billion (about
N11.65trillion) as against $67 billion
(N11.26trillion) reported at the end of the
Senate probe.
Besides, the report also found out that a total
cash of $50.81billion (N8.53trillion) and not $
47billion (about N7.90trillion) remitted to the
Federation Account from the crude oil lifting
for the period under review.
According to the AuGF, based on the
information available to the auditing firm, the
conclusion from the audit was that NNPC and
its upstream industry subsidiary, Nigerian
Petroleum Development Company, NPDC,
would refund a minimum of $1.48billion
(N248.6billion).
Mr. Ukura said his presentation was made at
the instance of President Goodluck Jonathan,
who requested that only the highlights of the
findings should be presented to the public.
However, a cross-section of Nigerians,
including civil society groups, have faulted the
presentation of only the highlights of the
report, saying it amounted to a disservice to
democracy, transparency and openness,
Executive Director, Civil Society Legislative
Advocacy Centre, CISLAC, Auwal Rafsanjani,
that the president asked the AuGF to release
only the highlights and not the entire report is
suggestive that government has something to
hide.
“The whole process was stage-managed,” Mr.
Rafsanjani said. “Government hurriedly put the
report together. Remember there was so much
reluctance to even order the audit till
Nigerians pressurized them into it.
“After the audit, the report should have been
submitted since September last year, but, they
kept it until Nigerians began to demand for it.
So, Nigerians are not satisfied with the report.
It does not meet the minimum standard for
transparency and accountability.”
The Lead Director, Centre for Social Justice,
CENSOJ, Eze Onyekpere, said Nigerians
deserved to be given the details of the findings
to enable them make their objective decision
on what’s going on.
“There is no reason why the whole report
should not be in the public domain,” Mr.
Onyekpere said. “The report of the audit
should not be given in snippets. Most
Nigerians are all reasonable and matured
enough to read and draw their independent
conclusions.
Though he supported the idea of the Auditor
General, as the Chief auditor of the federation”
studying the report, Mr. Ukura said the report
should equally be available in the public
domain for their appraisal.
“There are many Nigerians not in government,
who are auditors, who can give government
their own independent recommendations.
“The report should published through the
website of the Federal Government, Federal
Ministries of Finance, Information or Office of
Accountant General and Auditor General, so
that as the Auditor General is studying the
report as a technocrat to make his own
recommendations, Nigerian would also study
to make their input,” he said.
For the Chief Executive Officer, Global
Analytics Consulting Limited, Tope Fasua, the
refusal of government to release the full
report is a reflection of the culture of disdain
for full disclosure in the country.
According to Mr. Fasua, if total government
revenue for 2013 budget was N10trillion, and
the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, alone
accounted for more than 50 per cent,
government, over time have has refused to
disclose the contributions of other revenue
agencies like Nigeria Customs Service, NCS; and
Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA,
“That lends credence to what former CBN
governor, Charles Soludo, said. It seems the
country is making a lot of money than
government is willing to let people know,” he
said.
“The government cannot be said to be running
the country when one cannot give out
information. The country cannot be run as a
fiefdom. The report was conducted with the
people’s commonwealth.”
Lagos lawyer, Femi Falana, said it was
improper to make only the highlights available
to Nigerians, adding that it was left for
Nigerians to rise up and take advantage of the
Freedom of Information, FOI, law and demand
for the release of entire report.
But, Mr. Fasua said Nigerians should not be
subjected to the idea of using the, FOI, law to
access the report, pointing out that it was
totally unacceptable to run the country like a
jungle.
The Nigerian Extractive Industries
Transparency Initiative, NEITI, the
transparency and accountability agency in
charge of oil and gas industry operations
auditing, was not involved in the process.
Asked whether the non-involvement of NEITI
would not affect the integrity of the report,
the Director of Communications, NEITI,
Ogbonnanya Orji, said other government
agencies could conduct independent
investigations on any institution.
The audit ordered by the Federal Government
April 2014 followed allegations by the former
Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN governor, Lamido
Sanusi, that as much as $49 billion revenue
from crude oil liftings between January 2012
and July 2013 was diverted by the NNPC.
Though the figures put forward by the CBN,
Finance Ministry and NNPC were reconciled,
further reconciliation was required to between
the balance of $12 billion by the CBN
governor and $10.8billion by the Minister of
Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
Mr. Sanusi, who called for a broad based
investigations into the controversy, had
reviewed his figure to $20 billion when he
appeared before the Senate Committee that
probed the issues.
When Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala, announced the
appointment of PriceWaterhouse Coopers, PwC
Nigeria, to conduct a detailed investigation
into the accounts and activities of NNPC for
the period, the auditors were given 16 weeks
to complete the assignment and turn in its
report.
The report was behind the September 2014
deadline by a few weeks. But, the Federal
appeared to have dragged its feet on the
decision to make the report public, stirring
demands by concerned Nigerians for its
release.
Apart from the Presidential candidate of the
All Progressives Congress, APC, Muhammadu
Buhari, who made the call on government to
publish the report, the former Vice President
of the World Bank, Oby Ezekwesili also joined
to demand for the report.
The former CBN governor, Chukwuma Soludo,
also touched on the issue in his recent article
accusing the managers of the Nigerian
economy of not accounting for several billions
of oil money.

Abi o!Sincerely its a wrong posting.
The army high command clearly told INEC it can't provide its traditional support to the police because its men would be personnel would be fully mobilized to fight the war in the northeast.

BornSad:
For this guy to have the guts to put up such an offensive defense, I think he's got something brewing.

Let's note that legal firm mentioned here is very reputable and wouldn't go into this if it were an open-and-close case against their client as most of us think.

Is there something we are not being told?

Time will tell.

clevvermind:
my guy, stop this. that tape is fake. it is made in toronto. the matter is already in court, let's wait for the outcome. it will be sweet.

viccipedia:
Bros please in case of next time, you can still express urself in pidgin or broken English......



I'm not surprised, una oga no get certificate, we can't expect more from his supporters.

myproperty:
.

Yes I have gone to the link and I have seen the letter with the second page, I agree now that there was a second page because I had to google it.But there is no CSV file on the site you gave.I also found out that the last paragraph in the second page( the ones in italic) is not included on some other sites (http://www.aitonline.tv/post-massive_rigging_exposed_on_ait_online_presidential_poll ;http://www.topnaijalinks.com/nairaland/did-ait-really-release-those-csv-files/) but it is included in this particular site with CSV file. But the CSV file is different from the one Gbenga Sesan talked about.

Now the riddle:
1. Why is there no CSV file in the link you gave.
2. Why are the letters different( second page) from the one on AIT site.
3. If AIT sent the CSV files to media houses, why have credible media houses don't have the CSV file( e.g Channels tv, The sun, vanguard,This day etc) or do you mean AIT did not send it to those media organisation? why online links without credibility only.
4. Why do you send a link to a unknown media house.

Even the CSV file published by http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/apc-manipulated-ait-presidential-poll-favor-buhari/ is different from the critized one, i still find it impossible to believe because it is only an online site.

Which letter is the true letter the one published by AIT http://www.aitonline.tv/post-massive_rigging_exposed_on_ait_online_presidential_poll or the one published by www.sugardaily.ng/ait-accuses-apc-o
