Jonathan does not care about the north, he does not give a rat a55 about his niger delta people. Jonathan is only concerned about his presidential ambition.

And to all those gullible niger delta folks who keep shouting 'na our oyel', i'v got an unpleasant news for you; Jonathan has placated all the northern cabals with your oil wells in other to get their support for his political ambition

A man with dignity will truly NOT beg. GEJ never begged anyone for money smiley But Buhari begged 160million Nigerians N100 each (including thieves, civil servants, yahoo-boys, almajiris, inyanriyans, kwuorruft politicians, and other common Nigerians).
You are still living in denial even Obama did the same but not begging thiefs, criminals and corrupt people like the ones in GEJ camp..

I thought the conversation here was reneging on promise?

We know how Buhari rallied Lawyers to pay delegates in dollars in order to secure nomination.

GEJ was also asked to run by his people. In the world over, when an incumbent President is running he is given the sole opportunity to enjoy the stage. Even Obama had this in 2012

BY DANIEL IDONOR
ANKARA, TURKEY — President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, said he has no ambition to stay in office beyond 2015, assuring Nigerians in Diaspora that while he will not contest the 2015 election, he will ensure that this year’s election is free and fair.

The President promised that if voted in for the next four years, he would ensure significant improvement in key sectors of the economy — security, power, education, road, health amongst others.

“Without security, there is no government. So it is not debatable, it is something we have to addressed and we are working towards that with vigour. But if I’m voted into power within the next four years, the issue of power will become a thing of the past. Four years is enough for anyone in power to make significant improvement and if I can’t improve on power within this period, it then means I cannot do anything even if I am there for the next four years.”

Jonathan said this while interacting with Nigerians mainly diplomats working in the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, UNECA, and the African Union, AU, in Addis-Ababa.

While fielding questions from those present at the interactive session on whether Nigerians abroad will vote, Jonathan said: “I would have loved that the Nigerians in Diaspora vote this year but to be frank with you, that is going to be difficult now. Presently, the law does not allow the voting outside Nigeria and so this year Nigerians in Diaspora will not vote but I will work towards it by 2015 even though I will not be running for election.”

On the issue of security, Jonathan said the government was doing everything possible to arrest the situation. He disclosed that all those involved in the October 1 bombing had been arrested and were being prosecuted. He, however, said he ordered the release of the car dealers because they were just businessmen who could not have known that the vehicles were to be used for such heinous crime.

On education, the President said, the nine new approved universities were to be specialised and to be headed by at least three Nigerians experts in Diaspora.

On the concerns raised of having a database of Nigerian experts in Diaspora, President Jonathan assured that he was working on creating a forum for interaction between them and government and also develop a database, where experts needed to address the various challenges of the economy will be drawn. He hinted that this was why the Diaspora Commission was being set up as the bill was already before the National Assembly.

The President also disclosed that the government is looking towards reviewing the country’s foreign policy to ensure that Nigeria gets maximum benefit from its roles and contributions to international organizations like the AU, UN and ECOWAS.

He lamented that right now Nigeria’s contributions were not being recognized adding that “there is need for Nigeria to have something in return for our investments. We are investing so much but it is not being noticed and there is need to reverse that trend.

On the concerns about road network and transportation in the country, President Jonathan assured that the railway system will be revamp because presently heavy duty vehicles were destroying the roads. “Why we cannot have continuous road maintenance for now because no contractor wants to go into it because of the continuous pressure on the road by heavy duty vehicles. That is why we are working to ensure that we revamp the rail”.

The President also assured that Nigerians working in international organization and institutions would be issued diplomatic passports. He directed the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Odein Ajumogobia to submit the list of those qualified within the shortest possible time to him.

On the 35 per cent affirmative action implementation and the domestication of protocols signed, he assured that he will present before the National Assembly within the shortest possible time.

Essential:
By May 29,1999,we had 23 PDP Governors,6 AD and 7 APP. Eight years after, this is their story:
(A) PDP (23 GOVERNORS)
1. James lbori - PDP Delta State- in prison for looting
2. DSP Alamieseigha - PDP Bayelsa State - Ex-convict for looting
3. Lucky Igbinedion - PDP Edo State- Ex-convict for looting
4. Peter Odili - PDP Rivers State- In court for looting
5. Chimaroke Nnamani - PDP Enugu State - In court for looting
6. Ayo Fayose - PDP Ekiti State - In court for looting
7. Rasheed Ladoja - PDP Oyo State - In court for looting
8. Alao Akala - PDP Oyo State - In court for looting
9. Gbenga Daniel - PDP Ogun State- In court for looting
10. Ikedi Ohakim - PDP Imo State - In court for looting
11.Adamu Muazu - Bauchi State(Current PDP National Chairman) - In court for looting over N19 Billion from the state treasury
12.Joshua Dariye - PDP Plateau State - In court for looting
13. Jolly Nyame - PDP Taraba State - In court for looting the state treasury
14. Abdullahi Adamu - PDP Nassarawa State - In court for
looting the state treasury
15.Boni Haruna - PDP Adamawa State - (newly appointed minister by President Jonathan) -In court
for looting the treasury
16.Saminu Turaki - EX-Gov. PDP Jigawa State - In court for looting
the treasury
17.Orji Uzor Kalu - PDP Abia State - In court for looting the treasury
(B-). AD to AC, 6 GOVERNORS
NO Ex governor has ever been taken to court for treasury looting.
NOTE:- Tinubu of Lagos was dragged to Code of Conduct Tribunal for having foreign accounts while in power against government policy of zero foreign account for public officials.He was found not guilty
because he had the accounts before his election to the office of governor. CASE DISMISSED.
(C) APP - (ANPP) 7 GOVERNORS
1.Attahiru Baffarawa - APP Sokoto State- In court for looting (he is now in a PDP member)
2.Prince Abubakar Audu - ANPP Kogi State - In court for looting.
So APC made up of AD/ AC/ACN of the past is leading the pack.Does it not make perfect sense to allow these people to lead. You may add the two ex-national chairmen of PDP,Ahmadu Ali and Bamanga Tukukur whose sons are facing multi-billion naira oil subsidy fraud charges.
It's sad some senseless Nigeria still believe we do not need a change from this same PDP while they claim they can't see the difference between APC and PDP.The difference between them is like daylight to darkness.If you choose not to see may you remain blinded for eternity.
Thanks for this piece of information.... Now we should know what APC stand for, Even if you are a bad egg you can't do that in APC cos no room for that.

CrimeAnini The Law!! The Reign Of An Armed Robber by bashydemy(op): 12:02pm On Dec 24, 2014
Lawrence Nomanyag­bon Anini, Nigeria’s most notorious armed robber, was born some­time in 1960. He terrorised the old Bendel State, especially its capital, Benin City in the 1980s. By 1986, his robbery exploits had reached such a terrible level that it became a national issue. He op­erated along with his lieutenant, Monday Osunbor, and others. However, one striking feature in the Anini reign of terror was police complicity. It was soon dis­covered that the Anini gang had insiders within the Police hierar­chy. George Iyamu, a Deputy Su­perintendent of Police, was their arrowhead.

Anini, dreadfully called ‘The Law’ or ‘Ovbigbo’, was born in a village about 20 miles from Be­nin City. He migrated to Benin at an early age, learned to drive and became a skilled taxi driver within a few years. He became known in Benin motor parks as a man who could control the var­ied competing interests among motor park touts and operators. He later took to criminal acts in the city and soon became a driver and transporter for gangs, criminal godfathers and thieves. Soon after, he decided to create his own gang. They started out as car hijackers, bus robbers and bank thieves. Gradually, he ex­tended his criminal acts to other towns and cities far north and east of Benin.

The complicity of the police is believed to have enhanced Anini’s reign of terror in 1986. Early that year, two members of his gang were prosecuted over an earlier under-the-table ‘agree­ment’ with the Police to destroy evidence against the gang mem­bers. The incident, and Anini’s view of Police betrayal, is be­lieved to have spurred retaliatory actions by Anini. In August, 1986, a bank robbery linked to Anini was reported in which a police of­ficer and others were killed. That same month, two officers on duty were shot at a barricade while trying to stop Anini’s car. During a span of three months, he was known to have killed nine police officers.

In an operation in August of 1986, the Anini team struck at First Bank, Sabongida-Ora, where they carted away N2, 000. But although the amount sto­len was seen as chicken feed, they left the scene with a trail of blood. Many persons were killed.
On September 6, same year, the Anini gang snatched a Peu­geot 504 car from Albert Otoe, the driver of an Assistant Inspector General of Police, Christopher Omeben. In snatching the car, they killed the driver and went to hide his corpse somewhere. It was not until three months later that the skeleton of the driver was spotted 16 kilometers away from Benin, along the Benin-Ag­bor highway. A day after this at­tack, Anini, operating in a Passat car believed to have been stolen, also effected the snatching of another Peugeot 504 car near the former FEDECO office, in Benin.

Two days after, Anini’s men killed two policemen in Orhio­won Local Government of the state. Still in that month, three different robbery attacks, all pointing to Anini’s involvement, took place. They include the murder of Frank Unoarumi, a former employee of the Nigerian Observer newspapers; the killing of Mrs. Remi Sobanjo, a char­tered accountant, and the steal­ing of the Mercedes Benz car in Benin, of the Ughelli monarch, the Ovie.

Before September 1986 drew to a close, Anini, now an elusive dread, struck at a gas station along Wire Road, Benin, where he stole a substantial part of the day’s sales. He shot the Station’s attendant and gleefully started spraying his booty along the road for people to pick.

The height of Anini’s exploits, however, took place on October 1, 1986, the Independence Day when the state’s Commissioner of Police, Casmir Igbokwe was ambushed by the gang in Benin, followed by a hail of bullets. The police boss survived the attack with serious injuries. Earlier that day also, the Anini men had gunned down a police man with­in the city
Also, on October 21 of same year, the Anini gang terminated the life of a Benin-based medi­cal doctor, A.O Emojeve. They gunned him down along Textile Mill Road, in Benin. Not done, Anini and his gang went and robbed the Agbor branch of the African Continental Bank and carted away about N46, 000. A day after the operation, Anini, The Law, turned to a ‘Father Christmas’ as he threw wads of naira on the ground for market men and women to pick at a vil­lage near Benin.

Anini’s image thus loomed larger than life, dwarfing those of Ishola Oyenusi, the king of robbers in the 1970s and Youpelle Dakuro, the army deserter who masterminded the most vicious daylight robbery in Lagos in 1978, in which two policemen were killed. Anini spear-headed a four-month reign of terror between August and December 1986. He also reportedly wrote numerous letters to media hous­es using political tones of Robin Hood to describe his criminal acts.

Worried by the seeming elu­siveness of Anini and his gang members, the military Presi­dent, General Ibrahim Baban­gida then ordered a massive manhunt for the kingpin and his fellow robbers. The police thus went after them; combed every part of Bendel State where they were reportedly operating and living. The whole nation was gripped with fear of the robbers and their daredevil exploits.

However, Police manhunt failed to stop their activities; the more they were hunted, the more intensified their activities became. Some of the locals in the area even began to tell stories of their invincibility and for a while, it felt like they were never going to be caught.

However, at the conclusion of a meeting of the Armed Forces Ruling Council in October 1986, General Babangida turned to the Inspector- General of Police, Etim Inyang, and asked, ‘My friend, where is Anini?’. At about this time, Nigerian newspapers and journals were also publish­ing various reports and editori­als on the ‘Anini Challenge’, the ‘Anini Saga’, the ‘Anini Factor’, ‘Lawrence Anini – the Man, the Myth’, ‘Anini, Jack the Ripper’, and ‘Lawrence Anini: A Robin Hood in Bendel’. The Guardian asked, emphatically, in one of its reports: ‘Will they ever find Ani­ni, “The Law”?’

His arrest

Finally, it took the courage of Superintendent of Police, Kayode Uanreroro to bring the Anini reign of terror to an end. On December 3, 1986, Uanreroro caught Anini at No 26, Oyem­wosa Street, opposite Iguodala Primary School, Benin City, in company with six women. Acting on a tip-off from the locals, the policeman went straight to the house where Anini was hiding and apprehended him with very little resistance. Uanreroro led a crack 10-man team to the house, knocked on the door of the room, and Anini himself, clad in under­pants, opened the door. “Where is Anini,” the police officer quickly enquired. Dazed as he was caught off guard and having no escape route, Anini all the same tried to be smart. “Oh, Anini is under the bed in the inner room”. As he said it, he made some moves to walk past Uanreroro and his team. In the process, he shoved and head-butted the police officer but it was an exercise in futility.

Uanreroro promptly reached for his gun, stepped hard on An­ini’s right toes and shot at his left ankle. Anini surged forward but the policemen took hold of him and put him in a sitting position. They then pumped more bullets into his shot leg and almost sev­ered the ankle from his entire leg. Already, anguished by the ex­cruciating pains, the policemen asked him, “Are you Anini?” And he replied, “My brother, I won’t deceive you; I won’t tell you lie, I’m Anini.” He was from there taken to the police command headquarters where the state’s Police Commissioner, Parry Osayande, was waiting. While in the police net, Anini who had poor command of English and could only communicate in pid­gin, made a whole lot of revela­tions. He disclosed, for instance that Osunbor, who had been ar­rested earlier, was his deputy, saying that Osunbor actually shot and wounded the former po­lice boss of the state, Akagbosu

Anini was shot in the leg, transferred to a military hospi­tal, and had one of his legs am­putated. When Anini’s hideout was searched, police recovered assorted charms, including the one he usually wore around his waist during “operations”. It was instructive that after Anini was captured and dispossessed of his charms, the man who terror­ized a whole state and who was supposed to be fearless suddenly became remorseful, making con­fessions. This was against public expectation of a daredevil hood­lum who would remain defiant to the very end.

Shortly after the arrest of Anini and co, the dare-devil rob­bers began to revealthe roles played by key police officers and men, in the aiding and abetting of criminals in Bendel State and the entire country. Anini particu­larly revealed that Iyamu, who was the most senior police offi­cer shielding the robbers, would reveal police secrets to them and then, give them logistical sup­ports such as arms, to carry out robbery operations. He further revealed that Iyamu, after each operation, would join them in sharing the loot. It was further exposed how Iyamu planned to kill Christopher Omeben, an As­sistant Inspector-General of Po­lice in charge of Intelligence and Investigation. But Iyamu was later to be disappointed as the assailants dispatched to elimi­nate Omeben were only able to kill his driver, Otue, a sergeant. Iyamu, whom the robbers fondly referred to as ‘Baba’, reportedly had choice buildings in Benin City; proof of how he invested the loot he obtained from men of the underworld.
Due to the amputation of his leg, Anini was confined to a wheelchair throughout his trial. Iyamu, on his part, denied ever knowing and collaborating with Anini, but Anini The Law furi­ously retorted, “You are a shame­less liar!” Anini had accused him before Justice James Omo-Agege in the High Court of Justice in Benin City. Of the 10 police offi­cers Anini implicated, five were convicted. The robbery suspects, including Iyamu, were sentenced to death. But in passing his judgement, Justice Omo-Agege remarked, “Anini will forever be remembered in the history of crime in this country, but it would be of unblessed memory. Few people if ever, would give the name to their children.” Their execution took place on March 29, 1987.

Politics2015: Buhari’s Campaign Gets N54m Boost by bashydemy(op): 11:01pm On Dec 23, 2014
The presidential flag-bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, says he has received N54 million from Nigerians in support of his campaign for the 2015 elections.

Buhari, who disclosed this during a news conference in Abuja on Tuesday, added that his support groups had risen to 82 with membership in all regions of the country.

“So far, Nigerians have donated N54,415. 70 to support our campaign ahead of the 2015 presidential election and currently 82 support groups have been registered under the Buhari Support Organisations (BSO).

“The BSO has 475,796 coordinators and a total membership in the region of 8,492, 226 across the country.’’

He thanked the donors for donating generously “to actualise our dreams and we intend to use the registration and donation cards to enlist the members of the groups as volunteer change agents’’.

Buhari, however, warned that only the authorised account designated for the crowd-funding, which he is the sole signatory to, is the BSO account with First Bank Nigeria PLC.

“I know we live in difficult times. There is insecurity, corruption, poverty and above all the uncertainty of lives which is becoming unbearable.

“I want to appeal to our supporters to continue making sacrifice till we get the needed change,’’ he urged. (NAN)
PoliticsJonathan To Maku, Obanikoro, Others: Please Remain In PDP by bashydemy(op): 10:46pm On Dec 23, 2014
President Goodluck Jonathan has appealed to aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party, who lost at the primaries, to remain in party in the interest of democracy.
Jonathan made the appeal on Saturday night while speaking at the PDP fund raising dinner held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said that the leadership of the party was working to resolve all outstanding issues in the congresses and primaries.
Jonathan said: “We all appreciate that throughout the congresses where primary elections were conducted, there have been some outstanding issues.
“The party is working to resolve these issues.
“Definitely, in such situation, all may not be resolved to the satisfaction of everybody.
“But my plea to party members is to remain committed to the party.
“Stay with the party.”
Among aspirants who are aggrieved about the outcome of the primaries of the PDP are some of Jonathan’s ministers who resigned primarily to contest for the governorship seats of their states.
Such aspirants include a former Minister of Information, Labaran Maku; a former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro; and a former Minister for Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu.
All of them lost out in the primaries in their respective states and have been complaining very loudly.
Already, a former Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Samuel Ortom, has quit the PDP in protest.
Jonathan added on Saturday night at the fund raiser: “I know other parties are wooing some of you to contest elections on their platforms, but if you believe in democracy then you will contribute to strengthen it.
“The only way you can strengthen democracy is for you to stay in your party.”
The President also told the PDP members that if there were issues they felt were not too correct, it was better for them to stay together and correct them.
Jonathan added that staying together to settle those issues was the only way democracy can grow.
“If out of anger or frustration, you leave the party because you didn’t get what you wanted, then you are not contributing to the growth of democracy,” he said.
Jonathan thanked members of the party, the business community and other supporters of the PDP for contributing to the growth of the party.
While recalling the “generous donation” of the business community to support victims of the 2012 flood and to the Victim Support Fund in September, he assured them that their donations would be judiciously utilised.
Jonathan also assured the business community of more policies and programmes that would promote enterprise and industry as well as expand the economy.
Citing a beneficiary of the YouWin programme, who donated N1 million at the dinner, the President stated that the party had made a number of millionaires and billionaires in the country.
He said that the PDP-led administration at the centre was working hard to make more young millionaires through the YouWin programme and the recently launched Youth Employment through Agriculture Programme.
He assured Nigerians that the PDP would do everything possible to keep the country united.
Earlier, the PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, congratulated successful candidates of the party for the 2015 general elections and urged them not to let the party down.
Mu’azu urged the candidates to carry their fellow party members along during the campaigns.
He appealed to aspirants who lost at the primaries to put the past behind and join hands to take the PDP to victory.
The chairman of the fund raising committee, Prof. Jerry Gana, warned members of the party against complacency in the 2015 general elections.
Gana, a former Minister of Information and member of the PDP Board of Trustees, declared that the 2015 elections would be competitive.
He stated that though the party had done well under President Jonathan, members must campaign and communicate his achievements to the electorate.
Gana said: “The 2015 elections will be very competitive.
“Do not take it for granted.
“We must never underestimate the opponent.
“PDP has advantage because it has done very well in its 15 years in power at the centre.
“Besides, our presidential candidate is very good and is one of the best in the world in terms of delivery of democracy dividends.
“But doing well or having good candidates is not enough.
“We need to tell the electorate what we have done as a party.
“We must endeavour to effectively communicate our achievements and candidates to the people.
“The elections must be issue-based and the PDP is noted for that.”
Gana warned the leadership of the PDP at all levels against imposition of candidates on Nigerians.
Over N21.2 billion was raised at the dinner, which was well attended by past and present government officials, politicians and captains of industry.
The fund, according to Mu’azu, would be used to complete the party’s new headquarters building and run its affairs.
