Shorrop there you liar, many years ago.... I opened my current account at Emirates Bank also known as “ MeBank” the one close to Al Baniyyas Square in Deira. I was given a check book and the check book is still with me today just as a souvenir or reminder of my stay at the UAE. I was entitled to a check book and a debit card too and so many privileges and the ONLY prerequisite to have this account was my UAE residence visa on my passport and the work permit.

I was not allowed to have a credit card because I was told the only way I can get a credit card is if I have proof of earning up to 10,000 Dirhams a month. This was my personal experience


Fast forward to even last year a friend of mine who graduated from the American University in Dubai (AUD) at the Jumeirah area who lives permanently in Dubai doing business just took a cousin of his down there and he has a residence visa as just a student and he has a checking account with a check book so


WHY ARE YOU BLOWING FABU on Nairaland ?

Getting a CREDIT CARD there is a very big deal NOT checking account with the right to own a check book. Guy shift, you are a big liar

Moreover most real estate leasing or renting of residential areas in low cost housing at places where even very poor Indians or Bangladeshi people live at Al Karama for instance take monthly president either by check or online payment as long as they have copies of your UAE document with a verification “affidavits” from Dubai Police. This is a fact and what I know!!!!!

You can deceive people who have never been to or lived in the UAE not ME, ok?

You are an advocate of hatred and fake news. Anything to paint the Fulani people evil is all you dig out. This is not what the Bible teaches we Christians to practice. The Bible admonishes we Christians to love our neighbors as ourselves. We don't have to blame every crime on Fulani's it's wrong. What is the evidence that this incident was committed by Fulanis? We Christians should stop beating the drums of war because no matter how we try we can never defeat the Fulanis in a war. The Fulanis are peaceful people but we must not mistake their silence for cowardice. How many of our Christian leaders can conquer territories like Uthman Dan Fodio? Stop demonizing the Fulanis, it's not Christ like to hate

You are nothing but a blood sucking impostor, you think you can deceive us by categorising yourself as a Christian. please recompose another self deceptive epistle because this one cannot fly.

Another frame up in the making.
I don't trust this administration, they can go to any length to achieve their aim.

This brings us to the unfolding situation in our
country today. It appears that the Fulani leaders of
yesteryear were far more honest and forthcoming in
the expression of their views and disposition about
the south than the ones of today. Let us consider the
following.
In an essay titled ‘’Nigeria’s History and A Morbid
Obsession With Unity’’ written in Vanguard
Newspaper on October 6th 2013, Dr. Douglas Anele
wrote the following:
‘’Now, it should be pointed out that before the July
29th 1966 (northern military ‘’revenge’’) coup,
prominent Northern leaders, led by the Sardauna of
Sokoto, much more than their Southern compatriots,
disliked the unification or amalgamation of Northern
and Southern Nigeria. For instance, at the
inauguration of the Richards Constitution in 1947,
Tafawa Balewa, who later became Prime Minister,
declared, “We do not want, Sir, our Southern
neighbours to interfere in our development. …I
should like to make it clear to you that if the British
leave Nigeria now at this stage the Northern people
will continue their uninterrupted conquest to the
sea.”
At the General Conference held at Ibadan in January
1950, the Emirs of Zaria and Katsina made it quite
clear that “unless the Northern Region is allotted fifty
per cent of the seats in the central legislature, it will
ask for separation from the rest of Nigeria on the
arrangements existing before 1914.”
In March 1953 during a heated debate at the Federal
House of Representatives, Ahmadu Bello (who later
became Premier of the North region) remarked that
“the mistake of 1914 has come to light and I should
like it to go no further.” When a delegation from the
Action Group decided to visit Kano in May that same
year “to educate the Northern peoples about the
crisis in the House of Representatives over the self
government motion,” Inua Wada, Kano Branch
Secretary of the NPC, declared in a speech two days
before its scheduled arrival that, ‘’having abused us in
the South these very Southerners have decided to
come over to the North to abuse us’’.
Although the visit was cancelled eventually, it did not
prevent the Kano riots in which scores of Ndigbo
were murdered’’. (END OF QOUTE).
Wada, who later became Minister of Works in Tafawa
Balewa’s government, was particularly virulent in his
choice of words and many are of the view that his
fiery submissions and threats of violence resulted in
the Kano riots of 1953 which took place two days
later and in which thousands of southerners were
slaughtered.
To reiterate this point Bobson Gbinije, in his article
titled ‘’Igbo and Northern Leaders: Hate and National
Cohesion’’ which was published on September 2015,
wrote the following:
‘’The invidious and inveterate mutual hatred and
antagonisms between Easterners and Northerners
through inspired hate speeches and media
publications, dates back many years before
independence. Sporadic out breaks in Northern
towns, particularly the Jos riots of 1945, had been
occurring in the past but the British Administration
barely took them seriously. However, after the
ruthless massacre in Kano in May, 1953 the British
were constrained to look into the matter by setting
up a commission of inquiry on the Kano
disturbances.
The Report on the Kano disturbances posited that the
remote causes suggested at the time could not by
any means be referred specifically to Easterners. The
attacks were attributed to the clash of cultures, the
disparities in economic and social development
between Northerners and Southerners, the
occupation of strategic posts in the administrative,
technical and commercial sectors of Northern life by
Southerners and the leveling impact of Western
religion and political ideologies introduced into the
North by Southerners.
It is on record that there were series of polemical
and aggressive verbal exchanges between Northern
Representatives and the Action Group Members
during the Lagos Conference. But the fuse that really
set off the explosion in May, 1953 was the proposed
visit to Kano of an Action Group (AG) delegation led
by Chief S. L. Akintola, an Ex-Minister (who was Chief
Obafemi Awolowo's deputy and who later became
the Premier of the Western Region) .
The organization and preparation of Northerners for
the riots did not suggest to Easterners that they
would be the main object of the attack. Northerners
denied in 1953 that the massacres were ever
organized or premeditated. But it is on record that
two days before the disturbances began on Thursday,
May 14, 1953, Mallam Inua Wada, then Secretary of
the Kano Branch of the Northern Peoples Congress
(NPC) and later Federal Minister of Works, convened
a meeting of the Native Administration sectional
heads at the works Department in Kano during which
he made a very ill-advised and provocative speech
against the proposed visit of the Action Group
delegation led by Akintola. Inua Wada said, inter alia,
‘’having abused us in the south these very
Southerners have decided to come over to the North
to abuse us but we have determined to retaliate the
treatment given us in the South. We have therefore
organized about 1,000 men ready in the city to meet
force with force. We are determined to show to
Akintola and his group what we can do in our land
when they come. The Northern Peoples Congress has
declared a strike in all Native Administration Offices
for Saturday, 16th May, 1953. We shall post a
sufficient number of men at the entrance of every
office and business place and we are prepared to
face anything that comes out of this business’’. (END
OF QOUTE)
It appears to me that with the ‘’shut up’’ rhetoric of
Rabiu Kwankwaso we may have another Inua Wada in
the making. Whichever way history must not be
allowed to repeat itself and southerners must not be
massacred. It is also clear that the violent and
provocative rhetoric of todays northern leaders will
not go unanswered. Let us pray for the peace of our
nation and let us hope that men like Rabiu
Kwankwaso do not cause a second civil war.

Buhari Is A Ticking Time
Bomb With A Dangerous Agenda
Mr Femi Aribisala predicted on
Twitter that when critical decisions are to be
taken, Yemi Osinbajo, the token Southerner
in Aso Rock, would be sent to go and buy
“guguru and epa.” This has proved
prescient. The vice president was barred
from attending a national security briefing
on the grounds that he did not have
security clearance. But who can have more
clearance than a man elected by the
people? How did Buhari himself get his?
On August 30th, 2015, the vice president
was again publicly embarrassed when
armed men shut down the Aso Rock Chapel,
preventing him from worshipping there.
After shouting myself hoarse, warning
Nigerians not to elect Buhari as president,
I decided to keep quiet and watch things
unfold from the sidelines. Fela said about
Buhari’s first-coming: “The people wey no
sabi dey jubilate, the people wey sabi dey
shake their head.” It is now passed 100 days
since Muhammadu Buhari became
president and many of my worst fears have
been confirmed. President Buhari is a
ticking time-bomb that might precipitate
the disintegration of Nigeria!
Presidential dictatorship
In the middle of a national economic crisis,
the president has been comatose. He made
himself the Sole Administrator of Nigeria; a
role not envisaged by the Constitution.
These 100 days, Buhari has been the
Minister of Finance, the Minister of
Petroleum, as well as the Attorney-General.
He has been the Minister of Education, even
though we are yet to see his school-leaving
certificate. He alone has been the minister
in all the ministries of the federal
government.
As a result, the country has ground to a
halt. There has been no national direction,
no economic policy; no government. Only
bombastic anti-corruption rhetoric. Not
surprisingly, the economy has gone from
bad to worse. Official reports from the
National Bureau of Statistics indicate that
while like Nero, Buhari fiddles as Nigeria
burns, our GDP has plummeted to 2.35
percent; a 40 percent decline under Buhari.
Job-creation has dropped by 69 percent.
The CBN, in its Monetary Policy Committee
Report of August 2015, complained that:
“lack of fiscal directives is behind (Nigeria’s)
current economic woes.
” This is a big indictment of the
administration. The coming of Buhari has
brought about stagnation in domestic and
foreign direct investments. The stock
market has nose-dived, with investors
scared away due to uncertainties arising
from the government’s indecisiveness
in the face of national economic adversity.
One-chance presidency
It is now clear that Buhari obtained votes
from Nigerians during the election through
false pretences. Contrary to his highfalutin
campaign promises, he has not stabilised
the international price of oil. Instead, it has
fallen drastically from $60 to $40. Buhari
has not made the naira equal to the dollar.
As a matter of fact, it has depreciated
considerably under his short watch. He has
not used his vaunted military experience to
defeat Boko Haram. On the contrary, the
insurgency has become far more deadly,
with over 1,000 innocent Nigerians killed
within just three months.
Buhari’s promised free meals for school-
children, allowances for discharged Youth
Corpers, and 5,000 naira monthly allowance
for indigent Nigerians have all turned out to
be poppycock. He has not even mentioned
the coal industry in Enugu, how much more
made any moves to revive it. His boast to
APC governors that he will recover billions
of dollars of stolen funds within three
months has proved to be hogwash. With the
election over, he quickly backtracked on
Chibok, saying: “We do not know if the
Chibok girls can be rescued.”
In my years as a public policy analyst, I have
never seen a government anywhere spend
its vital first 100 days doing absolutely
nothing like this one. In defence of the
president’s ineptitude, Lai Mohammed said
in a recent interview that: “Buhari never
promised he was going to do anything in
100 days, that’s the honest truth.” This
admission by the mouthpiece of the APC
confirms conclusively that President Buhari
has wasted 100 days of Nigerian lives.
Stolen achievements
Such improvements as are noticeable are
legacies of the Jonathan administration. It
is the height of deception that the do-
nothing Buhari government has been trying
to take credit for them.
Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission
(NERC) Chairman, Sam Amadi, stressed that
the recent improvements in power supply
are the result of the efforts made by the
Jonathan administration
. That should put paid to bogus attempts to
attribute them to the effects of Buhari’s
“body language.” Neither does “body
language” bring about a turnaround
maintenance of our refineries. The credit
for this goes to “clueless” Jonathan, and not
to “Baba Go-Slow.”
If we are now celebrating the end of polio in
Nigeria, it has nothing to do with Buhari,
and everything to do with Jonathan. If we
are indeed well on our way to self-
sufficiency in rice production, it is because
of the activities of Jonathan, and not
because of the inactivity of Buhari. In three
months, the Buhari administration has
added nothing to past achievements. On
the contrary, it seems inclined to bring
things to a standstill.
Media blackmail
Instead of providing effective leadership,
Buhari has opted for a campaign of
calumny against the Jonathan
administration
. Day-in, day-out, we are regaled with
outrageous declarations without
substantiation about how bad the previous
government was, and by how much it ran
down the economy. Only the gullible would
fail to realise this is just a pathetic attempt
to divert attention from the incompetence
of the Buhari government.
Buhari claims he inherited an empty
treasury. Nevertheless, he found over $30
billion in our foreign reserves. He says:
“Jonathan’s ministers stole 150 billion
dollars,” without telling us where he got this
outlandish figure from. We are told one
million barrels of oil were stolen every day
under Jonathan, without any shred of
evidence to back this up. Buhari even went
on record to claim Jonathan diverted $700
million from the $1.1 billion Chinese loan
for the Lagos/Kano rail project. But the
evidence shows the loan was for three
different projects, with only $400 million
earmarked for Lagos/Kano rail.
Governor Oshiomhole of Edo State says a
senior official of the Obama administration
revealed
that a Jonathan minister stole $6 billion
dollars, no less. This has been denied by the
Americans. He claims a consultancy fee of
140 billion naira was paid for the Second
Niger Bridge project. However, the Bureau
of Public Procurement says the total cost of
the bridge is 108 billion naira
.
Oshiomhole should face his state and desist
from further cheap newspaper blackmails.
Someone needs to remind the APC that
election campaigns are over. Once bitten,
Nigerians are now twice shy. APC won by
manipulating the media. It cannot expect to
rule using the same trickery.
Anti-corruption media distractions
Buhari’s so-called fight against corruption
has already become a farce. The first salvo
was to lock up former Jigawa State governor
and prospective 2019 PDP presidential
candidate, Sule Lamido and his two sons in
jail with extreme prejudice. Then when
Saraki rocked the boat by steamrolling
himself to the Senate presidency
without APC endorsement, his wife was
peremptorily invited for lunch by the EFCC.
The Senate has now retaliated by putting
the EFCC Chairman himself on trial on
allegation he stole trillions of recovered
naira
.
The truth of the matter is that any anti-
corruption probe is likely to open up a can
of worms. Buhari is surrounded by corrupt
politicians. Indeed, the APC is so corrupt,
the president has not been able to find 36
“clean” ministers among his colleagues in
over 100 days. That is some kind of a
negative record.
After claiming he did not have the 27.5
million naira required for the APC
presidential nomination papers
and had to borrow it, Buhari now claims he
has 30 million naira sitting pretty in his
bank account
. How does he account for this discrepancy?
Some of us are also wondering where he
got all the money used to finance his
expensive election campaign.
If the president wants to probe, he should
go right ahead and do so. However, the
current shenanigans of trying people in the
media
, and declaring everybody PDP guilty
without trial, only attests to the lack of
sincerity. APC governors, including Amaechi
and Kwankwaso, are also accused of
corruption. Fashola of Lagos is alleged to
have spent 78 million naira setting up a
personal website
. These are the president’s political buddies.
We are waiting to see if his famous probe
will also reach them.
Fighting corruption on the pages of
newspapers cannot surely be the only
preoccupation of a government. One
trenchant observer said: “Probing is not
governance neither is body language a
substitute for economic policy
.”
Northern agenda
With 100 days in office, Buhari’s ethnic
chauvinism is no longer hidden. We have
now discovered that what he meant to say
on his inauguration is: “I belong to every
Northerner, and I belong to no Southerner.”
The president went on official trip to the
U.S. without an economic agenda,
but with 29 Northerners and only four
Southerners. While there, he declared that:
“The constituents (that) gave me 97 percent
cannot in all honesty be treated on some
issues with constituencies
that gave me five percent.”
We now understand his thinking. Fulani
herdsmen continue to kill innocent farmers
while Buhari sees no evil and hears no evil;
after all, he called them “my people” to Lam
Adesina of Oyo State. Of the 32 critical
appointments he has made so far, 27 are
from his native North and only five from
the South. Not a single appointment from
the South-East. When queried about this
blatant discrepancy, Femi Adesina from the
South, and not Garba Shehu from the
North, was craftily trotted out.
Tongue-in-cheek, we are told the
appointments were made strictly on merit
. But since when did the North acquire a
monopoly of merit in Nigeria? How can the
region with regularly low cut-off JAMB
scores suddenly become the citadel of the
most meritorious public servants in the
country?
Do-nothing government
The Buhari administration is shaping out to
be the most incompetent and
inconsequential in the history of Nigeria. It
is full of sound and fury signifying nothing.
What exactly was the point of electing a
“Mr. Do-Nothing” as president of a country
of 170 million people?
After 100 days, it should now be abundantly
clear that Buhari is not qualified to be
president of 21st century Nigeria. The
president has neither agenda nor direction.
His cardinal objective is apparently the
prosecution of Northern hegemony. The
APC desperately needs to organise an
intervention, before Buhari drives the
country into the ditch. How can an ethnic
champion be expected to lead Nigeria into
the future?
It is time to admit it. Electing Buhari as
president was a big national blunder.
Femi Aribisala is a scholar and international
affairs expert. He is currently an
iconoclastic church pastor in Lagos. He is
also a syndicated essayist for a handful
publications in Nigeria. He tweets from

1. Only Southerners have been accusing fellow Southerners of corruption. Oshiomhole has been attacking Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as if Ngozi turned down his marriage proposal. The same Oshiomhole tried to make nonsense of Akinwumi Adeshina’s successes in the agriculture sector. Ambode tried to pull Fashola down and successfully smeared him with stains. Maybe that’s why Fashola did not get the Chief of Staff role. I’m yet to see a Northerner accuse another Northerner of corruption, even when they belong to different parties. The closest a Northerner got was when the new Kano State Governor attacked Rabiu Kwankaso but he quickly sheathed his sword and even disowned previous reports of attacks. Why are we like this? . 2. Are Southerners the only ones who are corrupt? Were there no northerner heading the ministries and parastatals? Did the outgone Comptroller-General of Customs, Abdullahi Dikko not have an alleged case of certificate forgery but he still served out his tenure until he resigned voluntarily? I’m not in support of corruption under any guise but the fight against corruption must not be seen to be sectional. . 3. How come it’s easier for the President to believe that Sanni Abacha was not corrupt in spite of recovered loot while it is so easy for him to believe Goodluck Jonathan is irredeemably corrupt? . 4. I still remember that aside from God, Tinubu made Tambuwal what he is today. The same Tambuwal would later call Femi Gbajabiamila ‘incompetent’ and rated Dogara as more competent. The same Tambuwal was propped up by Tinubu, a Southerner against a fellow Southerner, Mulikat Akande. Obasanjo was very key to denying Goodluck Jonathan a second term. A good number can still recall how OBJ tore his PDP membership card in public glare. The Northerners find it easy to support themselves but we are always pulling ourselves down. Babangida Aliyu, Sule Lamido and all the other Northern Governors including the former PDP Chairman Adamu Muazu often times refused to campaign for Goodluck Jonathan openly and many times even espoused the virtues of the opposing candidate on the rostrum! . 5. Southern leaders and Presidents pull down Southern business men but prop up Northern ones. How many people still remember how Obasanjo ran Mike Adenuga out of town but both Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan made Aliko Dangote what he is today. No northern leader goes against their own. I dare to put it on record that President Buhari will never go against Aliko Dangote for any reason. . 6. How come OBJ pardoned Salisu Buhari, the ex-Speaker who forged his credentials and he later was given an appointment as a Governing Council member of a University and heavens did not fall- but when Goodluck Jonathan pardoned Alamieyeseigha it became one of the major issues counted against him? Is there one rule for some and another rule for others? . 7. We find it easy to raise our voices in support of the deportation of Buruji Kashamu but have no qualms with Atiku Abubakar strutting around the corridors of power. . 8. Only Southerners find it so easy to abuse their elders when they voice opinions not in tandem with the popular opinion. We find it easy to diss Afenifere elders and call them ‘Afenifebi’ while hurling expletives and curses at them. We even abuse our kings and priests. Northerners will never abuse an Emir no matter how unpopular what he said is. Can you imagine any Northerner raising his voice against the Sultan? In spite of Tanko Yakassai, Balarabe Musa and Dangiwa Umar’s perceived support for Jonathan, northern youths did not abuse them. But our own youths run down our elders on social media while our educated elite also support the act. . These are some of the thoughts that have been running through my mind. I don’t pretend to have all the answers and I do this at the risk of being labelled an ethnic bigot. The point however is that Southerners have to get their acts right. We have to put our house in order. The bickering must stop. Let’s engage our emotional intelligence. Let’s not allow others to exploit our tendency to self- destruct.

President Muhammadu Buhari has moved
against Christian religious activities within
the precincts of the Aso Rock presidential
villa, a source familiar with the matter has
disclosed to The Trent.
The Aso Rock Villa Chapel serves as the
official church of Aso Rock where Christian
activities inside the presidential villa are
conducted.
According to an eyewitness who spoke to
The Trent on Thursday, September 3, 2015
on condition of anonymity, heavily armed
men stormed the Aso Rock Chapel on
Sunday, August 30, 2015 denying
worshippers access to the church.
“Normally, services begin by 7am at the
church but when we got there, we met
armed security men who said we cannot
enter. They said they were acting on orders
from above. We waited outside till a few
minutes past 8am before they allowed us to
enter,” the source disclosed.
A visibly embarrassed Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo who worships at the Villa Church,
arrived the Chapel and could be seen
managing to conceal a worried expression
over the incident.
When our reporter contacted Presidential
Spokesman Garba Shehu to confirm the
development, he claimed he was not aware
of the incident. “What you are telling me is
news to me. I am not aware of this issue.
There is a lot we are dealing with and I hope
you are aware the church was handed over
to Vice President Osinbajo. So please call
Prince Laolu Akande, his spokesman to
confirm this issue”, he said.
Further investigations by The Trent have
revealed that Sunday’s move was the
second in a series of brazen attempts to
shut down Christian activities in the Villa.
Less than two months ago, the Children’s
Church of the Villa Chapel where the wife of
the Vice President, Mrs. Oludolapo Osinbajo
worships with the children was closed down
on orders from above. According to our
source, “security concerns were given as
reasons for the closure of the Children’s
Church.”
Attempts by this newspaper to reach Vice-
Presidential spokesman Laolu Akande failed
as his phone lines were unreachable at the
time of filing in this report.

The drug store business has become an
integral part of today's economy. Medicine
industry has grown in leaps and bound through
the years. Read this article if you want to join
in on the action and open your own medicine
store business.
In a nutshell, drugstores are described as retail
establishments that market drugs, be it prescription,
proprietary, or non-prescription medicine.
To cater to the general consumer public, some
drugstores also sell goods like: batteries, beverages,
blank videotapes, candy, cigarettes and cigars,
contact lens solutions, cosmetics, diet aids,
disposable diapers, film/film developing, fragrances,
greeting cards, hair care/skin care products,
magazines/books, novelty items, oral hygiene
products, pet food, small art and crafts items, snack
foods, vitamins and more.
If you are interested in starting your own drugstore,
here is list of information that may prove to be useful
along the way:
A drug store marketing plan is essential for a
startup. With it, you will be able to determine
whether or not the area you are considering is
already saturated with competition. And whether or
not the populace is substantial enough and is
earning sufficiently enough to support your
drugstore.
Prescription medications is said to be the top seller
among all the items sold. Studies reveal the
following ranking in terms of sales generated: (1)
Prescription Medication (2) Proprietary Drugs (3)
Toiletries (4 ) Tobacco Products (5) House ware (6)
Cosmetics and (7) Others such as: candy, general
merchandise, grocery items, liquor, stationery, toys,
and other miscellaneous goods. In light of this, it is
therefore imperative to focus or concentrate on this
section of the pharmacy.
The forecast for growth of this industry is positive.
A vastly improved hospital and health care resulted
to a marked increase in the percentage of aging
Americans. Subsequently resulting to an increase in
the sales of prescription and propriety medications.
Take advantage of this trend by stocking up on this
product line.
The more shelf space you have, the better. If the
bulk of your products are displayed and visible for
the browsing patrons to see, then chances they
might be enticed to buy.
This industry is a competitive industry. Aside from
brick and mortar drugstores, there are also online
pharmacies to contend with. Other establishments
such as supermarkets and discount stores have
stocked up on proprietary drugs, some even set up
their own pharmacy within their store. It is
important to know this fact so you won’t walk into
the drug business blind.
When looking for a place to set up your drug store,
pay attention to the zoning requirements of the
area. A lot of localities have restrictions when it
comes to the type of businesses they allow in the
area.
You must allocate funds for your initial medical
store startup investment which includes
advertising, supplies and equipment, remodeling/
building expense. Also allocate a portion of your
funds for operating cost (until projected break-even
period). This includes lease payment, employee
wage, and unforeseen expenses etc.
Your medicine shop must have a licensed
pharmacist present at all times. If you are not a
licensed pharmacist, then you should hire the
services of one. On average, a person in with this
credential earns approximately 30K to 40K per
annum. You must also hire one to two sales clerks
to assist your customers plus an office clerk to deal
with the paperwork associated with running
drugstore like credit card billing, inventory,

NgeneUkwenu:
Very funny!

These Northern PDP governors are really deceiving jonathan!

who is decieving who?, u think we dont know u make use photoshop
software to actualise ur propaganda.

Buhari finally opened up that he did not obtain any formal western education, thus did not have Secondary Schl or WAEC certificate.
According to Buhari, his late father was an Islamic fundamentalist who saw western education as HARAM just like Boko Haram. Buhari said further that he only has Islamic Study Certificate which was given to him by d Imam that taught him in d Mosque and that, it was d Islamic cert that he used to join d Army.
My question is; why did Buhari lie in d first place that his cert was wit d Nigerian Army ? Where is his integrity here ?
If Buhari hates western education to d extent of not going thru any western education, how will his education policies look like, if he is made president ?
My take:
If Buhari has no secondary or Waec certificate, he shld pullover from dis contest, because Nigerians won't vote for someone without formal western education. As far as I am concern, Buhari has no single qualification that cld earn him d presidential seat. He is an ex-military man. He once truncated our democratic process. He has no secondary schl or Waec certificate. He is old. He is sectional (dis is evident in his siting of 70% of projects under him in d North, when he was chairman of PTF). He is not industrious, because he has never in his entire life involved himself in any business before and after his retirement (a sign of laziness). He is a religion fundamentalist..I beg join me to say No to Buhari.

Survivors in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia will be given smartphones and will document their stories and exchange tips on how to cope with it for a mobile app which will be available to the public, the backers said in a statement.
by ReutersJan 04, 2015
Ebola survivors in the three west African countries worst hit by the epidemic will share their stories through a mobile application to be launched on Monday, in a Unicef-backed campaign to inform and fight stigma around the disease.

The Ebola outbreak, the worst on record of the highly infectious haemorrhagic fever, has killed over 7,900 people with more than 20,000 cases recorded, mostly in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Although many people have survived the disease, they still face rejection and stigma from their communities, while the virus continues to spread due to lack of information and denial, according to the WHO and other health organisations.
The campaign, called #ISurvivedEbola, is funded by US philanthropist and co-founder of Microsoft Paul G Allen’s foundation which has committed $100m to fight the disease. Unicef, the UN children’s agency is collaborating in the project.
Survivors in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia will be given smartphones and will document their stories and exchange tips on how to cope with it for a mobile app which will be available to the public, the backers said in a statement.
“While treatment of Ebola patients is critical, the best way to end the Ebola outbreak in west Africa is to cut the chain of transmission and prevent further infections,” Rafael Obregon of Unicef said in the statement.
“#ISurvivedEbola is reinforcing our efforts by providing this information in multiple, highly entertaining forms, including through the testimonies of actual survivors,” Obregon said.
Survivors who have agreed to contribute include Camara “Fanta” Fantaoulen in Guinea who lost six members of her family to Ebola, and Decontee Davis, a 23-year-old from Liberia who overcame Ebola but lost her fiancé

Boko Haram fighters have overrun an army base in the remote northeast Nigerian town of Baga, killing scores of soldiers in the attack, security sources have said.
Baga is known for hosting the headquarters of a multinational force comprising troops from Niger, Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon, although only Nigerian troops are actually stationed there.
Troops eventually fled the remote station on the semi-desert shores of Lake Chad after it was attacked on Saturday by Boko Haram fighters using military vehicles, two sources said.
Earlier on Friday, suspected members of the armed group raided the northeast village of Malari, kindapping about 40 boys and young men.
The fighters came to the remote village of Malari and urged people to come out and listen to a sermon, farmer Bulama Malam told reporters on Saturday.
"After telling us that they wanted to preach to us, they began to select young men aged between 12 and 25,'' Malam said. "I was lucky to escape because they only selected very young and able-bodied men."
He spoke in Maiduguri, the capital of northeast Borno state, to which he escaped on foot.
Nigeria''s longstanding conflict with Boko Haram has killed over 10,000 people this year, according to a count by the Council on Foreign Relations in November.
Neighbouring countries threatened
It is the gravest threat to Nigeria, Africa's biggest economy, and a headache for President Goodluck Jonathan ahead of an election on Feb. 14 where he is being challenged by opposition leader Muhammadu Buhari, a former military ruler seen as tough on security.
After beginning their fight for an Islamic state five years ago in the northeastern city of Maiduguri, the group has radiated outwards into porous border areas, threatening Nigeria's neighbours around the Lake Chad Basin.
In northern Cameroon, at least 15 people died in an attack by suspected Boko Haram militants on a bus, officials said on Saturday.
Cameroon's army has been trying to dislodge the fighters from its Far North region with the help of air strikes.
Nigerian Interior Minister Hassoumi Massaoudou said late last month that his country was ready to negotiate with Boko Haram, but did not even know who in the group to talk to.
Baga came into the international spotlight early in 2013, when dozens of people, mostly civilians, were killed in fighting between the multinational force and Boko Haram. Many were burned alive in their thatched houses.

Former Minister of Aviation and Publicity Director of President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode has once again ruled out the possiblity of Muhammadu Buhari ruling Nigeria.
The controversial writer said Buhari’s election would do more harm than good to the already troubled country.
FFK, Saturday took to his Facebook page to advice Nigerians against voting for the former warlord, saying that Buhari can’t rule the nation.
*. Boko Haram killings increased after Buhari’s threat to make Nigeria ungovernable – Fasehun
He wrote, “asking Muhammadu Buhari to preside over the affairs of Nigeria is like asking Count Dracula to watch over the maiden. It is like asking the wolf to protect little red riding hood. It is like asking the tiger to watch over the lamb. It is like asking the snake to protect the child. It is like asking the rapist to watch over the virgin. By the grace and power of the Living God and the will of the Nigerian people, we will stop him. This nation is moving forward and not backwards”

Buhari joined the Nigerian Army in 1962, when he attended the Nigerian Military Training College (in February 1964, it was renamed the Nigerian Defence Academy, (NDA)) in Kaduna.

Buhari and his cohorts (APC members) are green snake under green grass.
If I Expose All The Atrocities Of APC, Their
Relationship With Boko Haram,Truth About
Chibok Girls, Nigeria Will Burn – Fani-Kayode...
Fani-Kayode made this startling revelations in
a statement on Sunday, where he detailed the
operations and true color of the APC
leadership, as well as their contribution to the
security challenges currently facing the
country.
The former APC member revealed that he
chose the right path (returning to the Peoples
Democratic Party) after carefully studying the
workings in the party,
one he said when brought to light, would
shock many Nigerians to their marrow.
“Simply put, the Haramites in the APC cannot
be trusted with power. It is as simple as that.
They are the greater evil and they are the
greatest of all evils.
They are the darkness that seeks the
darkness. Whether we like to accept it or not,
PDP is the only party that can stop them from
winning power at the centre in Nigeria and
that is why I have gone
back to that party.
“If I choose to speak out, fight back and tell
the world who and what they are, what they
represent, how they love to shed blood, their
relationship with Boko Haram, the truth
about Chibok [abducted girls] and the role
some of their leaders played in it, their
Islamist agenda, their links with the Middle
East and the Arab world, their born-to-rule
mentality, their desire to use the South West
and later dump them, their utter disdain for
southerners, the Middle Belt, the northern
minorities, the moderate Muslims and the
Christian community and so much more this
country will burn. “Sadly, the overwhelming
majority of its members have no idea what is
really going on behind the scenes and what
the agenda really is. Those are the ones that I
really feel sorry for.
“They will cry at the end of the day if the APC
is ever able to seize power at the federal level,
because if that happens, we will all become
second class citizens in a new colony.
“In addition to this, most of the more
reasonable and rational leaders in the party
are complaining bitterly behind the
scenes,but they are too scared to speak out
or to leave the party. I urge them all to do so
before it is too late”, he added.
It sometimes beat my imagination we have
forgotten history so soon. Even in his region
the clamour to become the president is not
as loud as in the western part. History don't
lie.

All may not be well within the camp of Nigeria’s main opposition party, APC, as its governors are now at loggerheads with the leadership of the party over a premature power sharing formula being pushed by the national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

This development, which apparently is a fall out from the way and manner the running mate of APC Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari was picked has thrown up fresh challenges for the party.

The National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun whose position appears to have been hijacked, has been making frantic efforts to bring all the warring groups to a reconciliation table.

However, the party appears to have split into pro and anti-Tinubu forces as the governors, especially those from the north have roundly rejected Tinubu’s formula in which he demanded juicy government positions as condition to give full financial backing to Buhari’s campaign since he was not allowed to emerge as Vice President.

The governors, who have been holding series of meetings in Abuja on the matter are said to be angry that Tinubu was still pushing for other strategic positions, being eyed by some of them, even after the Vice Presidential slot was conceded to him.

The former Lagos state governor, is said to have met Buhari and requested that in addition to the Vice President slot, he should be allowed to produce the Speaker of the House of Representatives, which he has reserved for one of his friends from the South South even without consulting the APC governors from the area.

Tinubu was said to have also demanded that he be allowed to produce key ministers as well as the review of oil licenses to incorporate his interest.

Also, there are apprehensions that APC governors from the South south, north central and South East, namely Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers state, Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state, Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State, Ahmed Abdulfatah of Kwara state and their Imo counterpart, Rochas Okorocha may have been schemed out following fears that they will secretly work in favour of President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 general election.

Sources within the party confirmed that these governors are being closely monitored adding that the appointment of Amaechi to lead Buhari’s campaign was to put him under check.

In Tinubu’s watch list also is Lagos state governor Babatunde Fashola who has been schemed out following his perceived disloyalty for challenging Tinubu’s choice in the APC Lagos state governorship primaries.

Tinubu’s demands have not gone down well with APC governors and other key party stakeholders from the north as they interpret them as outright greed and move to appropriate the party for his personal gains.

In the current power play, the three former PDP governors who left for the APC appear to have completely lost out as none of them or their followers have been accommodated in the power sharing so far at the party and government levels.

The governors were said to have met with Buhari on the matter during which they demanded that the Presidential candidate take his rightful position as the leader of the party and cut Tinubu to size before it becomes too late especially as Tinubu is perceived by the public as the “leprous finger” in the APC.

Sources privy to the meeting said the governors made it clear to Buhari that they did not leave the PDP to become subservient to Tinubu, who they noted was not sure of delivering Lagos state in the Presidential election.

The internal wrangling have degenerated into a cold war that led to the shelving of series of events lined up by the party last week. A party source who, pleaded anonymity confirmed that there are disagreements in the ranks but noted that they will be settled amicably

The Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh,on Wednesdayreassured that elections will hold in the troubled states of the north eastern part of the country.
Badeh gave the assurance while speaking with State House correspondents after a breakfast security meeting with the Service Chiefs presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan at his residence.
The increasing wave of attacks by the Boko Haram insurgents notwithstanding, the Defence Chief insisted: “Elections will hold there.
“Don’t worry.”
Badeh also said the military would soon rid the zone of insurgency, adding that the military was keeping an eye on fifth columnists in the country.
According to him, most of the areas occupied by the insurgents had been liberated.
“Normalcy is gradually returning to the areas earlier ravaged by the insurgents, including Mubi in Adamawa State,” Badeh said.
On the issue of fake Boko Haram negotiators and fifth columnists that are aggravating the crises, the Defence boss said it was being handled by the Department of State Service.

A man who said, only last year, that ”an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the north”? A man who said, in 2001, that he wants to ”spread sharia throughout the federation”? A man who said, in 2001, that muslims should only vote for muslims”? A man who said, in 2001, that ”why should christians be concerned when muslims cut off their limbs under sharia”?. A man who said, in 2001, that ”after all the limbs that are being cut off are muslim ones and not christian so why should the christians bother about it”?
This is the man that some Nigerians are clamouring for to be their President? May God open their eyes and protect them from themselves. May He grant them wisdom and discernment.
