In the picture below was Gen. Gowon in 1973 shaking hands with baby Trudeau, son to the then Prime minister of Canada Elliot Trudeau.

Fast forward to 2015, that baby is now voted as the Prime Minister of Canada..

Meanwhile a country close to Niger republic voted Gowon's former colleague and age mate..

Without Sentiment, Let discuss .

Senator Ben Murray Bruce, had something bitter for bloggers and media sites recently when he advised the President to be wary of news sites that have become a thorn in the flesh of governments at most levels. In his advice regarding the media regarding the media he blamed politicians who were greedy for leaking lies and half truths about themselves just to see the other outdone.

Senator Ben Bruce said "In the last 16 years of civil rule, Nigerians have witnessed the rise of online news sites that have become a thorn in the flesh of governments at all levels because of the sensitive news, half truths and down right lies they sensationally publish. Nothing has distracted Nigerian governments over the years as these news outlets."

The Senator also added, "They have also been assisted by print tabloids that call themselves news magazines but which publish sleaze instead of mainstream news. I can authoritatively state that much of the sensitive news that finds its way to these media emanate from competing ministers and infighting kitchen cabinet members struggling to outdo each other by secretly revealing embarrassing information about their colleagues to undermine their influence with the president.

"Where they have no dirty laundry to air against their colleagues, they cook up lies and half truths and these websites, hungry for Internet traffic, and their print media colleagues desperate to increase circulation and advertising, publish these stories without verification which are then swallowed by an unwitting public hook, line and sinker."

Former Super Eagles forward Jonathan Akpoborie has said Warri Wolves’ Gbolahan Salami, Chisom Chikatara of Abia Warriors and Odion Ighalo of Watford can replace Emmanuel Emenike, who announced his retirement from the national team on Instagram on Monday.

Reacting to the Emenike’s exit from the Eagles, Akpoborie told our correspondent on the telephone on Tuesday that Emenike, who won the 2013 Africa Nations Cup’s Golden Boot, would not be missed.

“There are many players that can wear the number nine jersey in place of Emenike. When the home-based Eagles played against Burkina Faso, we saw Gbolahan Salami, and we saw Chisom Chikatara. Salami and Chikatara have shown they are two or three times better than Emenike.

“We thank Emenike for serving Nigeria and we will respect him for winning the Africa Cup of Nations. Ighalo is also scoring goals for his club right now. He can perform better than Emenike. So we will not really miss him in the national team.”

The former Wolfsburg forward added that Emenike, who moved to Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates this season on a one-year loan deal from Turkish side Fenerbahce, had lost form both in the national team and his club.

He said Emenike probably lost concentration after winning the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.

Akpoborie said, “Since the end of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, I’ve not seen any match that Emenike played well for Nigeria. At the World Cup, he didn’t play well. I’m not trying to condemn him now that he has left the national team, but after the 2013 AFCON, which we won, he lost form. Maybe he started thinking he was the best player after winning the Africa Cup of Nations.”

Adesina thinks government is comedy or where you write editorials attacking people. He needs to be schooled in the act of govt mouthpiece instead of this schoolboy attitude he displays online.
Metuh is needed to put the government on his toes and also to safeguard democracy. Show me any government without firm opposition and I will show you an AUTOCRATIC govt

It was obvious that the voice of those against the Kwara state ministerial nominee(now minister) was far above those in support, yet the senate president went ahead to confirm him. I wonder why the senate president had to rule-out the voice of the majority, could it be party loyalty or he has been condemned to doing just that?.

1. Has Saraki done well?
2. Could Saraki have done otherwise?
3. What would have happened if he had turn Lai mohamed down?

TonyeBarcanista:
At the ministerial screening earlier today ex-Lagos state governor Raji Fashola was asked a direct question regarding the N78million appropriated for the building of personal website. Here was Fashola's response...



While we all agree that award of contract is an Institutional process, FASHOLA refused to tell the Senate that the process is only finalised when the relevant commissioner in charge of the affected ministry append his/her signature as prescribed by Section 30(5) of Lagos State Public procurement Law (2011) which Fashola signed into law... In fact subsection 5 was very clear...

30.— (1)   There is established by this Law in each of the State’s Ministry, Extra-ministerial Office/Department/Agency, Parastatal, Corporation, a Tenders’ Board.

(2)   Subject to the approval of the Board, the Agency shall from time to time prescribe the membership of the Tenders’ Board.

(3)   The Tenders’ Board shall have power to award and be responsible for the procurements of goods, works and services within the benchmark set in the Regulations to this Law.

(4)   In all cases where there is a need for pre-qualifications, the Chairman of the Tenders’ Board shall constitute a technical evaluation subcommittee of the Tenders’ Board charged with the responsibility for the evaluation of bids which shall be made up of professional staff of the procuring entity and the Secretary of the Tenders Board who shall also be the Chairman of the Evaluation subcommittee.

(5)   The decision of the Tenders’ Board shall be communicated to the Commissioner for implementation. (EMPHASIS Mine)

Fashola Indicts Himself:
From the section (SPECIFICALLY subsection 5) it is expressly clear that the Fashola's administration through the affected Commissioner 'okayed' the contract to be awarded at that RIDICULOUS amount. We should also note that Commissioners are not elected but appointed by Governors and they report to Governors. That means the affected Commissioner must have reported the said contract to then Governor Fashola while reporting the activities of his ministry to his boss.

Looking at the defence that Fashola put up and placing it side by side with procedure, two things can be deduced;

1. Fashola was aware of the whole thing but deliberately LIED before the Senate to cover his track. He was fully aware of the deal. The job of the Commissioner is to ensure that contracts by the Tender Board is in the public interest. His/her signature is a testament of endorsement. Fashola as briefed but deliberately refused to revoke nor question the contract. In fact, he was silent about it until Ambode raised alarm. OR

2. Fashola was not aware thereby making him complacent of his duties as governor of Lagos state. If this is true (which is doubtful), then we beg to ask how many more inflated contracts went undetected by the Governor? This second is a statement of incompetence.

Both 1 and 2 are indicting if we look at them from any angle..

The 'I Never Signed Chequ' Holds No Water
The Fashola's 'I never signed cheque' statement is untenable anywhere. No Governor or Presidents signs cheque for the award of contract in Nigeria. There are Accountants that effect payment. What is required of the political officers is to APPROVE contracts for the Accountants to issue cheques. So why should Fashola use that as defence? Let me also remind all that NO Governor or President 'steal' or inflate contracts directly! The process to loot has always been INFLATION of contracts through relevant Commissioners/D-Gs etc.

It is however unfortunate that the Senate FAILED to ask relevant question but instead nod their heads in ignorance. It is very shameful that the same Nigerians that called for the head of Princess Stella Oduah over the N260million vehicle were singing Fashola's praise for the shabby defence that he put up.

If I we're him, I would blast oliseh in his presence before quiting. Enyeama is the best thing that happened to SE after Kanu and okocha.

Oliseh is a big f00l

safarigirl:
First off, I want all Nigerians to forget about qualifying for AFCON 2017, it won't happen with this rift.

Oliseh was wrong on all counts in this rift. The last player you should ever attack is the pillar of the team, the head capo, ask Didier Deschamps what Anelka did to him. Why pick on Enyeama? Enyeama has loyalists in that team that can and will rebel against Oliseh until he loses that job and they prove he was never meant to be a coach. Oliseh is displaying an arrogance he hasn't earned considering he's won nothing of note as SE coach.

And making Musa captain? Who will take orders from Musa? Is it Mikel, Emenike or the ousted Enyeama? Does Musa look like a leader? Apart from his scrawny nature, how old is he? Someone who can't even speak up when he's wronged, how will he speak on behalf of his team mates?

The only place Oliseh's myopic decisions will take he and that team is down. I just want him out ASAP cuz he's apparently not The Chosen One to bring sanity to our football.
