orlaryhincah:
Nice write up, but who do we vote for? Jonathan had failed us totally and we're left out of options already and if there hasn't been a collabo within the opposition parties, Nigeria won't be rescued. As for me am just tired of PDP, and look around you APC Governors has a nice background in each state they're ruling.

Yes man.... APC have got great hands. But why they prefer to present GMB is what I don't understand.

Had they powered Fashola, Oshiomole or Rochas, the case would have been different as these are men who are in blend with the times.

Buhari is no option here. And we musn't settle for less

Ahead of the 2015 Presidential elections, I scrambled upon a Peter- Obi-thread in the political session. Even though I merely read and hardly post comments, I was compelled to write after reading the jibes from certain nairalanders.

In defence of the 72-year-old Buhari, these nairalanders arguments were concerning African leaders - who they feel are doing well at their old ages for their countries.

And afterwards, I deemed it necessary for objective (not partisan) minds to have a case study of the current happenings in our neighbouring African countries, and therefore decide what we want for our country.

-- Nelson Mandela (75): He is exemplary, and a model leader. Yes, elected at 75, the person of Madiba can never be compared with any African leader (including GMB). He came to power after spending several years in prison. He deserved to be the live president of a SOUTH AFRICA he was prepared to die for. Yet, after one tenure, he gave power to the son of a very social welfare partner and fellow ex-prisoner, Thabo Mbeki.

I thought Madiba was enough. But they went on to mention aged African leaders like Robert Mugabe, Tedoro Nguema of Eq. Guinea and Paul Biya. Leaders who were somewhat affiliated to the military.

-- Robert Mugabe (90): He has led Zimbabweans in pain. Having ruled for more than twenty-three years in a 'democratic' nation, this 90-year-old man has already secured the Zanu-PF 2018 presidential ticket when he will be 94. Isn't that wickedness?? Some years Zimbabwe suffered very serious inflation such that there currency had no value. It still has no value. Zimbabweans are sufferring, nairalanders please don't compare their fate to ours.

-- Paul Biya (84): I guess many don't know that this man is only the second president of Cameroon since their independence. For over twenty-four years, Biya has favourably modified the constitution to favour his self aggrandizement and reection. Against the wish of Cameroonians, he has continuously positioned himself as president in a supposed democratic Cameroon. Is he doing well? I guess you should find out that answer yourself because 'goodness' is relative. But is it possible to achieve sustainable development without democracy? We need to learn...

-- Tedoro Nguema (72): This man is Africa's longest serving president. In a democratoc nation, he has ruled (not lead) for more than 30 years. His government is the worst abusers of the human rights and dignity... His family continues to loot Eq. Guinea dry...
I
-- Jose Eduardo dos-Santos (72): Africa's second-longest president who has
ruled Angola for more than thirty years. Despite having never formally won an election, Eduardo - following a constitutional change - is well positioned to remain in power to at
least 2022. His government has become increasingly repressive, giving
ordinary Angolans
no freedom.

-- Yoweri Museveni (70): Uganda's president have terminated the term-limit for presidency, and is set to remain in power till ever (as he is reportedly said to be rigging election). The economy of Uganda has kept dwindling.

** Ghana and Botswana are democratically doing very greatly. They are growly economically and gradually moving towards sustainable development. Here are the profiles of their operators of democracy:

-- John Dramani Mahama (56): This Ghananian president continues to practise and promote true democracy in the
nearby Ghana.

-- Ian Khama (61): Firat elected in 2008 when he was 53, Khama has led the small African country to an improved democracy and a stable economy.

This is to mention a few. But as a renowned leader said, "no progressive country will choose a 70 year old man as a president". Nigeria must not do otherwise.

Whilst the labour age begins from 16, we all know the retirement age all over the globe is 65. Hence, it is necessary the man at 65 either retires or plan his retirement.

I dont want to believe you agree with APC to make the aged Buhari one of these leaders...

A general market-women opinion is that age doesn't matter, but does it suffice for the ruler of our fathers to also rule us?

- Isn't that an omen of stagnation?

- In our dispensation, have we been unable to raise men of competence and great leadership skills?

- Or do these men exist but have been swallowed by our aged ones (like GMB) who refused to bow out for them to take up the mantle?

- Is Goodluck Jonathan the best young leader Nigeria can present at this time?

- Are there no more credible people who are better than the president, and yet younger?

At 47, Barack Obama became the president of the United States where many aged men exist. At 43, David Cameron became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom... They are doing so much for their countries and promoting democracy.

- Don't we have men of wisdom and political qualities in their 40s?

- Must it be these old men?

- For presenting GMB, are we sure APC mean well for Nigeria and have no hidden agenda?

NIGERIANS ARE IN A DILEMMA OF SACRIFICING THE FATE OF OUR DEMOCRACY AND PROMOTING IT.

Even though I'd agree that we need another leader, I personally don't think GMB is an option. I don't expect rational, introspective/futuristic mind to agree to his reelection in a 21st century. This is what makes it different from the thinking of an average market-woman or meat-seller view.

This piece is open to clever comments and possible corrections. No insults.

Buhari is an aged retiree and should never be elected president of Nigeria. Cast a wise vote on Feb. 14

yibomustgo:
[s][/s]

Rubbish from the same suspects from other side of the Niger. How old was Mandela when he became president. How is Prime Minister of India there now? Mugabe, Sirleaf, Bashir, Paul Biya, President of Eq. Guinea, and many more are still there today and in their 70s or 80s doing well for their countries.

Buhari looks more healthy that the drunkard from Oytuoke you all called president.

In as much as I don't like aguing with shallow-minded nairalanders, I think it's important I correct your erroneous view. Of all leaders you mentioned, only Mandela is exemplary. Yes, elected at 75, the person of Madiba can never be compared with GMB. He came to power after spending several years in prison. He deserved to be the live president of a SOUTH AFRICA he was prepared to die for. Yet, after one tenure, he gave power to the son of his very social welfare partner and fellow ex-prisoner, Thabo Mbeki.

Now you know nothing about others you have mentioned. From Mugabe to Tedoro Nguema of Eq. Guinea, you just mentioned all of Africa's worst leaders and enemies of democracy.

-Robert Mugabe has left Zimbabweans in pain. Having ruled for more than twenty-three years in a 'democratic' nation, this 90-year-old man has already secured the Zanu-PF 2018 presidential ticket when he will be 94. Isn't that wickedness?? Some years Zimbabwe suffered very serious inflation such that there currency had no value. Bros, Zimbabweans are sufferring, don't compare their fate to ours.

-Paul Biya: I guess you don't know that this man is only the second president of Cameroon since their independence. For over twenty-four years, Biya has favourably modified the constitution to favour his self aggrandizement. Against the wish of Cameroonians, he has continuously positioned himself as president in a supposed democratic Cameroon. Is he doing well? I guess you should find out that answer yourself because 'goodness' is relative. But is it possible to achieve sustainable development without democracy? My brother, you need to learn...

-Tedoro Nguema: The man you said have done well for Eq. Guinea is Africa's longest serving president. In a democratoc nation, he has ruled (not lead) for more than 30 years. His government is the worst abuser of the human right and dignity... Go to google.

As clueless as you portrayed yourself, I dont want to believe you agree with APC to make Buhari one of these leaders... Please, upgrade and verify before posting misleading thrash.

Peter Obi is a well-bred Philosopher; he does not talk like other political jingoist. You can see from his speech that he was objective and even pointed to some areas where GEJ could make ammends.

You just cancelled wisdom to post foolishness...

Please be wise.

adebisicutie:
All the controversies is just making the book more popular

Yeah... That is exactly what OBJ wants.... It's not like he wants the best for the country...

OBJ serving himself since 1999

JackBaueress1:
Nawao! I thought they were sworn enemies the way some idiotts portrayed it to be?
These PDP demons on nairaland are very bad people.

That could still be true... Don't get carried away by pictures... Diplomacy is the key here.

Appearance differs from reality you know...

GenBuhari:
Gowon & General Ironsi brought television

Yes.... And they said Abacha brought apples

GenBuhari:
Just like they are saying GEJ brought Facebook to Nigeria

facebook to Nigeria??

I guess Buhari in the 80s brought maggi to Nigeria

hahn:
Op, why don't you just write a book on how his tenure affected your life.

I would have written it myself but there's nothing to write about

They say he brought GSM to Nigeria...

folawiyoma:
Person no go talk true again if he see one.


Are u paid to write this epistle?

I hereby sentence you to 13yrs in kirikiri.

I will tell baba what yoiur sentence to him is.

nairalife2013:
Some folks are born with the inherent character of leading a self-centered life.
They have an unbreakable conviction:
In the whole world they are the only ones that are right in everything...

In their homes, they batter thier wives and maul thier kids with iron fists and metal rods and constantly keep thier households in disgrace and in the eye of the wild public sun; in the society, they wreck havoc on constituted authority and spend all thier little energy trying to strip others nak-ed.

op u posted a touching open letter... a reasonable person who has gone wrong would be sober and have a rethink after reading this post but, it brings tears to my heart to say this... "it is too late for alleluya"

for the man will NEVer change.

He is a Pastor... He should also know when he has to change a character... It is a pity that the man thinks himself to be Nigeria. That is why his autobiography is about Nigeria rather than Obasanjo

alberto2k:
Op if baba OBJ catch u..
U go disappear frm diz thread

I believe the writer is already in france by now

Chief Obasanjo's autobiography seem to have brought more fracas with it. Many lies and many erroneous statements.

Here is an open letter written by a concerned Nigerian to him:

SIR : Whilst growing up as a youth , I witnessed the practical manifestation of the Biblical story of Joseph, who left prison for the
palace. Your trajectory was similar to that of South Africa ’s Nelson Mandela; moving from
prison to become democratically elected president . But unlike Joseph and Mandela who
supervised progressive Egyptian and South African economies respectively , your achievements after eight years in office were
below par.

When I heard of your autobiography My Watch, like Mandela’ s Long Walk to Freedom, I was confident it would profile life lessons – which Nigeria could benefit from. That it would bring
reflective solutions to the current problems facing the country , particularly the threat of division.

Your autobiography has been very controversial, and is proving harmful to the unity of Nigeria. First, you degrade and insult the office of the president – something you would never tolerate during your tenure . Then
you went ahead to fault different patriotic individuals; even comparing the Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka to a “ Guinea Fowl
( Aparo ) hunter ”. Thank God for the quick counter by the retired Brig - general Alabi-Isama – this revealed some of your
weaknesses as an army officer, Nigerian president and statesman .

Please sir, permit me to remind you that your democratic government suffered from
authoritarian hangover . You were a democratic -dictator . We know how you monopolised virtually some vital sectors of our
economy . Infact , I was shocked when I discovered that your democratic malpractices were as a result of your erroneous understanding of the nature of true democracy. In the “Elements of Democracy” as co- edited by you , you had asserted that "Democracy as practiced in the West may not suit our peculiar
circumstances and needs . As such , our conceptualization of democracy must take due
cognizance of our lived reality…”

Allow me to use this opportunity to correct your misconception. The principles of true democracy are the same everywhere . Any of
such adjustment is anti - democratic and authoritarian . I am sorry to say , but your version of democracy is pseudo - democratic . You have been unable to transform yourself to
embrace democratic praxis and attitude .

Sir , no one can give what he doesn ’t have. You failed as the president of Nigeria , and still fail at the level of a statesman . How
can you condemn the presidency when you failed during your time on that seat ? You say
corruption ? For God’ s sake, your
government was beset of it . It is crystal clear that whatever pieces of advice you would proffer will prove detrimental to the success
of Nigeria in the long run . And like Plato ’s allegory of the cave, you may feel you know all about good governance – only to end up discovering how terribly wrong you ’ve been .

At 77, a respected man ’s words and actions are regarded as insightful – forming landmarks to the progress of an individual or
the bond and growth of a society . Our own 77- year-old retired leader and statesman must not say and act differently.

Please help us unify Nigeria , and not scatter it . Please leave with us a country of great worth – bonded in love and unity – when you finally go to give an account of your life and leadership to the Creator .

Many are your followers and disciples in Nigeria, please don ’ t lead them astray . This is what God expects of you . Sir , think
about it .

stevecantrell:
Nigeria needs a 3rd option.

Unfortunately, there is none. This is why I am the more angry as many think GMB would suffice for the 'under-par' performer, Jonathan.

stevecantrell:
You're a good psychologist.

Nigeria is stuck choosing between a Wolf in lamb's clothing and a Slow but lethal poison called "Fresh Air".

My brother.... Many Nigerians just need to look at African democratic states like Zimbabwe, Guinea and Cameroon...


We are about to sacrifice the fate of our democracy.

Prodeegee:
Believe me he will!

Both Gej and Gmb are issues.

I wonder when the 'said' leaders of tomorrow will Lead.

Topics like this don't make FP...smh

When aged people like Buhari have refused to leave us to rule Nigeria, it looks like we have to wait forever

Hi,

A family is in urgent need of a Miniflat in Lagos. Either an affordable Miniflat or a Standard single-room self contain.

We will prefer areas like Ifako, Gbagada, and New Garage... Close by areas are also good.

If you have one, please drop your details here and we will give a call asap.

NB: IT IS VERY URGENT!!!

General Muhammadu Buhari tends to capture the zeals of many Nigeria through his tactical approach - by appealing to their emotions and pity.

In 2011, he even cried...

Recently, he has upgraded his tactics by saying things like "i didn't steal money while I was the president in the 80s, that's why I am poor today". And with this, many Nigerians will be like: "eh ya, he's really a great leader ooo"

The question is not whether he stole or not in the 80s. At least, he earned salaries as the head of state, military officer, and PTF chairman. He worked like every other Nigerian. So, where did he keep his savings amd retirement benefits. Perhaps, he was so wasteful and clueless that he did not invest his earnings. (How can we invest with him?) This exposes something.

It is not a must you take bribes before you invest. If you plan well on your earnings, you can invest your money well.

With his recent ploy, many Nigerians have been led astray in thinking win-win for him. Even the supposed matured have also been deceived (including you reading this post)

This isn't the major point of this piece.

I have seen the recent humble approach of the same GMB - who said some years ago that "we would soak baboon and dog in blood". He now tends to develop a softer approach to get the supports of many Nigerians. Unfortunately, even the elects have been deceived.

But what we need to ask is this: "is this Buhari real nature?" Why has he come soft all of a sudden? I bet you, many APC delegates/party members know this, and this was why he could not come out by at least 80% of primary votes (should all see him as Nigeria's messiah). Many of them will secretly not vote for him come 2015. I bet you.

I can sense that Buhari's below-par approach stems from the philosophical saying that the "end justifies the means". When he gets the power he seriously craves for, Nigerians will get to know the true GMB.

On getting that presidential authority (IF HE CAN), Buhari will unleash the devil in him.

All these Sai Buhari proponents will never imagine what we will see...

Please remove partisanship, as I care more about the person than the party.

Many say GEJ doesn't use his authority well... Perhaps, GMB will over-use it...

I do not feel Buhari's person will truly surface when he gets power. I know so...

On May 29, 1999, the end of military rule
brought about a new era of regular
elections and the return of civil liberties in
Nigeria. Any volunteer handover of
government from military to civilian leaders
is unusual. Nigeria's was, arguably, unique.
Since then, there have been significant
improvement in the transition to democratic
governance in the whole of the country.

Fifteen years of hindsight offer an empirical
basis for greater optimism about the
durability and performance of democracy in
Nigeria. Despite the wave of democratisation in the country being partial and potentially reversible, and skeptics identifying important vulnerabilities, our democracy have lasted longer and tried to perform better than initially expected.

However, it is of crystal clarity that most
Nigerians are yet to enjoy the full dividends
of democratisation because the importance
of democracy has not been well served in
the country.

Abraham Lincoln's simple, concise and
universally recognised definition of a
democratic government as: "the government of the people, by the people, and for the people" emphasizes the nitty-gritty of democracy, which is all about the people. Hence, a democracy is built on the equality of the people; the freedom of these people to associate with one another for the
realisation of their ideals and the defense,
promotion of their interests. It is leadership
that is centred on the people and does not
lose them.

In Nigeria, the reverse is the case. Democracy is centred on the elites and does not lose them. Our leaders tend to forget the words of Wael Ghonim that "the power of the people is much stronger than the people in power". They tend to overlook
the fact that the essence of leadership is
service to the people.

In a bid to satisfy their whims and caprices, our leaders emerged with this erroneous view that the principles of democracy are not universal, but subjective depending on the environment. This view was exemplified by Olusegun Obasanjo, in
the Elements of Democracy, when he
opined that:

"Democracy as concurred in the West may
not suit our peculiar circumstances and
needs. As such, our conceptualisation of
democracy must take due cognizance of
our lived reality and whatever structure and
institutions that would sustain democratic
practice must reflect the peculiarities of our
(Nigerian) environment."

At this juncture, certain questions run
through the mind of any rational being: Is
democracy really subjective? Is it necessary
to subjugate the people in order to produce
this so-called home grown democracy?

The contrary notions of Obasanjo and other
like-minded Nigerian leaders have
promoted political maladroitness, led to a
great deal of improvisation, and proven to
be a root cause of our economic and
political malaise.

Two major problems seem to be the remnants of such erroneous assumptions, and have remained at the base of our dwindling democracy.

Political Godfatherism and corruption.

POLITICAL GODFATHERISM hinders the
success of our democracy. At first, Nigeria
had ideological godfathers who offered
leadership ideas and expertise which they
shared with their brilliant protegees. Their
vision was based on enforcing a philosophy
of governance for the purpose of
development. In recent time, and in the
wake of our modern democracy, godfathers
are politically clueless set of people lacking
the wisdom and ideas to impart. These new
godfathers assume their positions because
of their enormous wealth. They perpetuate
the evil in their business oriented mindset
by "investing" into politics and expecting a
return of "profit". At the detriment of the
citizenry, they rely on unscrupulous means
to satisfy their excessive thirst which is
almost insatiable. Some of such debased
godfathers and their sons are: Chief Chris Ubah - Dr. Chris Ngige, Dr. Olusola Saraki - Alhaji
Mohammed Lawal, Alhaji Lamidi Adedibu -
Alhaji Rasheed Ladoja, Sir Emeka Offor - Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju.

In the words of Paul Ogugua (Ph.D), "the
only contribution which this class of
godfathers has made to our democracy
includes the emergence of such citizens
that prefer money to their conscience".

CORRUPTION has become a norm in
Nigeria. It has eaten deep into our politics
and is a serious impediment to the
development of our country.

Commenting on the intensity of corruption in Nigeria, John Odey asserts:

"Today in Nigeria, corruption has become a
structural sin so contagious that it hardly
leaves anybody without a smear. And since
the country has been justifiably stigmatised
as a den of corruption, all Nigerians, both
the guilty and the innocent, have been
paying costly for it. Everywhere in the
world, Nigerians are generally feared like
mad dogs, dreaded like criminals,
cautiously approached like dangerous
snakes and watchfully avoided like lepers."

Whilst we can acknowledge that the depth
and outcome of corruption in Nigeria is
really as severe as Odey has noted, it
suffices to say that the most destructive
factor in our government (democracy) is
corruption. Whenever one listens to political
news on Nigeria, one notices that
corruption is the main cause of our
dwindling democracy.

Little wonder an Afro Barometer survey
report, as documented on www.worldpublicopinion.org , states that:

"84% of Nigerians said they were happy
with their country's democracy in 2000. In
2005, only 26% were satisfied. The 2000
poll took place shortly after Nigeria ended
15 years of military rule with the election
of president Olusegun Obasanjo, whose
popularity declined over his two-terms in
office with his government beset of
corruption scandals."

Consequently, stalling attitudes threaten the
culture of democracy in Nigeria, and under
performing democratic government have
engendered these attitudes.

PrinceofParis: True, but have you considered that those two may have had fall out with the operations of the group which would have led to the exposure as it is known for faceless terrorist organizations to expose members/sponsors they have fall out with?
Secondly, the sect might have subsects whose motives, desires and plans may be conflicting with each other and as a result lead to exposure of fragment leaders. I still think investigating them sincerely does no harm. That's what a working society will do.
These men can as well sue Davies for publicly painting them black if they are truly without blemishes. They may not be sponsors of Boko Haram directly, but if they are avoiding court, then they must have something they are hiding. Either siphoning of security funds, thereby allowing the group to gain more grounds, or supplying them indirectly with ammunitions to effect acquisition of more funds from government purse.
In fact the reasons for investigations are just so many, it shouldn't be swept under.

Okay you spoke well sir. But a dictum says: 'silence is the best answer for ...' Should they want to sue, the law of LEX SITUATE will make it difficult. By this I mean where do you sue from? In Nigeria? In Australia? In ICJ?? There will definitely be sentiments and jingoism anywhere....

It would be a long process, and will best be avoides. If would have been easy if he was a Nigerian, or lives in Nigeria.

After all tgis, I doubt if he will want to step his feet into Nigeria again.

koboko67: Just listening to TVC news 10pm, i could not believe what i was hearing.

SSS claims it is evil and unpatriotic to payback who laid his life down for Nigeria to fight terrorism by investigating him for terrorism. SSS claimed that Ihejirika also served the country. SSS hailed the achievements of the former Chief of Army Staff and said he could not have sponsored terrorism, simply because he was sending soldiers to fight terrorism


I am yet to understand how Ihejirika laid down is life for Nigeria.....is it by sitting in an executive office in Abuja and dishing out orders? Or by feasting on the security budget?

The SSS said Modu Sheriff will however be investigated.


We are in trouble in the country with this present administration. No investigation, yet an accused is exonerated

Why didnt the SSS exonerate Sheriff because he is an ex governor and follow the theory too that he could not have been sponsoring terrorism against his people

Logic... This is the answer to all questions. How do I mean?

First, the Australian, yesterday, told TheCable that he still keeps in touch with the Boko Haram leaders, and that they were adamant Sheriff and Ihejirika are their sponsors. The question here is: Where in the world does terrorists openly name their sponsors Wouldn't that mean the end of their fundings and operation

These Haram guys may not be learned - but I bet they have common sense.

Verdict: I think these two are the arch enemies of the group. Did you remember when Boko Haram told Nigeria to hand over Sheriff

Second, if there's any reason for which they would give these accusations, I think it to be two namely: To cover the track and image of their chief sponsor, and to divert Nigeria's attention for a time while they regroup.

As an intelligence agency, the SSS knows this - but they will be questioning Sheriff just to clear the air. As for Ihejirika, they don't think it necessary. The Aussie, I can boldly say, is only but a puppet - but unknown to himself.

Read this: www.punchng.com/news/boko-haram-accusationsll-divert-our-attention-says-ihejirika/

Food for thought: If a devil tells you good morning, you should check the time carefully to ascertain if it's truly morning...

Those real/true sponsors are still out there

bright007: Setting up a committee to investigate the activities of another committee that was set-up to look into the actions of another committee whose task was to investigate the activities of another committee............what a political futile cycle











God send us a messiah in this country.

And when he (the messiah) comes, will you know him? If he tells you he is the messiah, will you agree

We are mostly skeptists, and want change to happen in a flash. I think development is a thing of a process, and doesn't happen suddenly.

Nigerians highly skeptical since 1960...

Even if Jesus comes to rule us, we will still doubt His abilities and question His decisions.

Alright...

Thanks a lot... But I actually want a room & parlour self contain as I have a family... If you have useful info, do let me know.


Thanks again

I seek for A Self Contain Apartment in a Privately Owned compound around Lagos environs. In other words, I want an apartment inside a compound - where my neighbour would be the owner of the house.

Or a compound where the tenants and coexisting families aren't more than two.

Anywhere in Lagos, I would love the serene and peaceful environment of just two families.

If you have any valuable info, please contact me: 08061225140

authority2006: So basically, all atrocities by the Nigeria Army and corruption by the ruling elites should be buried by the concerned and worried citizens in order not tarnish the good image of Nigeria? One day, your entire family will be wiped out by Nigeria Army just like what happened in Baga or what happened in Channel 4 video and the rubbish you are posting here will come back to haunt you. How can a sane person be advocating press gag, saying people shouldn't report extreme human rights abuses, atrocities committed on a large scale? In your confused little mind, you think this is the meaning of patriotism? You are not sane man.

Even if you want to make a point, must you include his entire family or say such bad wishes about them.

I think this platform is about dialogue; hence, if you cant constructively present your case, then don't post anything. Only dumb heads abuse/insult other people in such forum. But you have done worst... Wishing his entire family death...


I sincerely think you should learn how to think/talk and write. Also, you need to get a life. I mean a good life.

Chelsea Football Club have paid tribute
to its Life President, Lord Richard
Attenborough, after the 90-year-old
cinema great - and life-long Blues
supporter - died on Sunday.

Fondly called 'Lord A', Attenborough
was Life President of the Stamford
Bridge side, and helped establish
Chelsea's reputation as London's
glamour club with his high profile
support.

The Oscar winning director also helped
Chelsea to hang on to their Stamford
Bridge home when it was threatened by
property developers.

The club said in a statement as released
on their website: 'Chelsea Football Club
is tonight deeply saddened to learn of
the passing of our Life President Lord
Attenborough, CBE at the age of 90.

'He led a long and successful life and
always found time for the things in life
he loved most, one of which was
Chelsea FC.'

Lord A held a position on Chelsea's
board in the 1970s when they won the
FA Cup and UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.

In 2008, Lord Attenborough was
honoured with the position of the club's
Life President. He served on the board
at Stamford Bridge from 1969 to 1982.

Dreal1247: .
What do you expect? Unlike any other time, more funds are made available for the military. But yet, it is the insulgents that are coming out with new military vehicles and more sophisicated weapons with the dont soldiers crying of unavailablity of weapons. Their wives and children had to stop their vehicles from leaving the barracks for mission against the insulgents all because of this issue. The question now is, what are they using those funds for?

I think the rogues are in the military. Maybe the top officials satisfying their greeds...

You are not thinking the presidency is funding the insurgents at the detriment of the military

Dreal1247: ....I still believe that the weapons and funds released for the military are diverted to and are used by the insulgents. Thank God Nigerians are getting wiser.

Hmmmm!!!

What you stressed here is quite heavy...

Afenifere, a socio-cultural organisation for the Yoruba people in Nigeria, has accused Northern Elders Forum of backing the Boko Haram terrorist sect, saying its recent utterances are a tacit support of the sect’s activities.

Afenifere in a statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Comrade Yinka Odumakin, expressed dismay over a statement credited to the forum asking President Goodluck Jonathan to bring back the abducted Chibok girls and end insurgency in Nigeria by October or forget about 2015 elections.

The group said, “The statement signed on behalf of the forum by Solomon Dalong and Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed also alleged that “we are convinced that most of these conflicts are being engineered to weaken the North politically and economically by interests which intend to exploit such weaknesses for electoral benefits”.

Afenifere urged the Northern Elders Forum to name the interests engineering the conflicts in the region, saying the wicked and insensitive ploy to turn the misfortune of the Chibok girls and their parents to an electoral weapon has become apparent in the forum’s stand.

It said, “By linking the electoral fortune of President Jonathan in 2015 to “Bring Back Our Girls” latest by October as well as ending Boko Haram at the time, the “elders” have just confirmed the suspicions in the land that the activities of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, is either enjoying the sponsorship of some elites of the North or at the least having their sympathy”.

“In all the sound and fury of the Forum, we searched in vain any outright condemnation of Boko Haram. And this has been the pattern of most reactions from the majority of the elites of the region who always appear politically correct to the insurgents while using their activities to rattle the government.”

Afenifere reasoned,” That traumatized country that has been held in anxiety over the fate of the abducted girls cannot but challenge these elders at this stage to appeal to their wards in Boko Haram to release the innocent young girls who now appear cannon fodders in the struggle for “we want our power back”.

“A time has come to let these elites know they can no longer play the ostrich by burying their heads in the sand and think no one sees them because they are seeing no one.”

The group pointed out that a similar pattern played out at the on-going National Conference where some of these elites pushed for Boko Haram to become a derivative item , insisting on a first line charge five percent National Intervention Fund for insurgency and terrorism to be shared among North East at the rate of three percent, North West one percent and North Central one percent.

“Shortly after the conference adjourned, there was an increase in insurgency in the North West which would appear an attempt to alter the “sharing formula” of this “terrorism fund.

“We however frown at the disingenuous attempt by unconscionable elites who are now dishing out two months ultimatum to end an insurgency that they prepared the atmosphere for in decades of exploitation and iniquitous dealings with their own people. Can they name one country that has defeated terror in 60 days?

“How many rulers have we had in Nigeria since 1960 and how many came from the North? Why did it not occur to any of them that the Almajiris should go to school?”

Afenifere noted that the country has suffered enough of the errors of such leaders who they accused of producing terror in the country.
