If on the other hand you admit that other past leaders including buhari himself were/are corrupt then there in lies my argument: What is the moral justification of one corrupt leader calling another corrupt? There is no law that bars buhari from probing from the very first government in 1960.Since he is the probing type let him do a thorough job of it rather than just picking on who to probe at a whim. That would be seen as vindictiveness, especially in the face of his claim that one of world acclaimed most corrupt leader (abacha) didn't steal a kobo from Nigeria. Get that into your thick skull Mr comprehension teacher.

Even if he knows, he can't say such. The strength of Nigerian politicians is the volume of secrets you know and how tight you keep them.

Jonathan administration led by GEJ, Dasuki Samba and some lements were the ones behind the Boko Haram menace just to get military contracts. The Boko Haram thing was politically motivated and those who are behind it miscalculated. Has anyone asked where Ali Modu Sheriff is? I expect Boko Haram to disappear within the next few weeks.

DesChyko:
It was politically motivated if that is what you mean.
'By whom?' remains the question.

Idrismusty97:
Even if it was a northern agenda, GEJ was dumb to start fighting them 6 weeks to election.

HD or 3D?

Elections are not won on nairaland or on the internet. It seems that Buhari and his team of fools are always in a hurry to post their pictures online to give people the wrong impression that all is well. These people encouraging Buhari will be responsible for giving him heart attack when the result is finally announced. He will definitely not be able to recover from this blow. Rochas will be among the first sets of rats to jump ship when it is sinking. Just hold your peace, Saturday 28th is not too far away. We shall know who is living in a fool's world very soon. Mark my words. Gej will win wella! No shaking. All APC has succeeded in doing with their propaganda is to make PDP wiser and more determined to win at all cost. The propaganda will definitely work against APC. I assure you. The strategy to win this election was decided almost 4yrs ago, with GEJ appointing all the 36 state RECs. They are the ones to feed Jega what he will announce to the nation. If you have anybody at INEC you can ask them who appointed the state RECs. PDP merely used the issue of card readers and the removal of Jega to keep APC busy while they perfected their strategies. And it has worked. Just wait and see!

Medical  doctors in the employment of Lagos State are to commence another indefinite strike today, as their effort to reach a truce with the state government at the weekend was unsuccessful.

Medical Guild, the umbrella body of the doctors serving in the state’s public hospitals, had on March 8 issued a 10-day ultimatum to government to pay all outstanding monies allegedly withheld as a result of previous strikes embarked upon by the doctors.

Daily Independent learnt that the leadership of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) at the weekend, made unsuccessful efforts to meet with Governor Babatunde Fashola to discuss the unhealthy development.

“The  inability of our leadership to meet with the governor or his representative on behalf of the state at the weekend has left our members with the only option of embarking on the proposed strike”, said one of the doctors in the employment of the state government.

A statement directing all medical doctors in the employment of state government to commence an indefinite strike from today was issued on Sunday and pasted on the hospitals’ notice boards.

The statement signed by the chairman of the Guild of Doctors, Dr. Biyi Kufo, reads:

“Lagos State Government (LASG)  refuses to embrace last minute    interventions by NMA  National President and Secretary.

“All members  (without exclusion)  are to proceed on indefinite strike from 8am tomorrow, Monday 16/03/15.

“No clinics, No General Outpatients Department (GOPD) and no elective   surgeries. Emergencies/Crritically ill patients only will be attended to.

In the notice of ultimatum, the Guild had stated: “The issues in contention include the continued employment of doctors as casual (contract) workers; the non-employment of resident doctors in the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH); and the discriminatory application of the state’s ‘no work, no pay’ policy to members of the Medical Guild in the period between April/May 2012 and September 2014.”

However, speaking to our Correspondent on behalf of government, Special Adviser on Public Health, Dr. Yewande Adesina, re-stated government’s position on some of the issues at stake, saying, “If the Federal Government has the fund and wherewithal to provide certain things, it is very wrong to impose it on the state; there is nowhere in the world this is done.

“if government said it does not have money to pay now and that it would do so by spreading payments overtime and the doctors do not believe, there is not so much that government can do about that; I however see  it (the strike) as an easy way out to blame government for everything”, said Adesina.

On whether government is ready to pay the withheld doctors’ salaries,  Adesina said, “There is a law and that law states, ‘no work no pay’; Lagos State did not manufacture it”.

Continuing, she explained, “in the past we have had to work with professional bodies to palliate and draw closer each time there was a strike.

“But it has become one strike too many so much so that our professionals on the flimsiest excuses embark on a strike expecting that we all understand it is just a misunderstanding that can be overlooked and then get paid.

“Honestly, we had overlooked the law in the past, but then the strikes became one too frequent that we just must draw a line; government has reached its limits on strikes in this state and the state executive council as of today, stands behind the ‘no work no pay law’ as it applies in the country”, said Adesina.
