LET THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF DO HIS JOB. SIMPLE.

OUR BOSS, LEADER AND NUMBER ONE NIGERIAN SHOULD LEAD AND MESS UP ANYBODY REMOTELY CONNECTED WITH BOKO HARAM

LET OUR PRESIDENT AND HIS SUPPORTERS STOP THIS RECKLESS BUCK PASSING STYLE. IT IS NONSENSE!

WE DID NOT FORCE HIM TO LEAD US. LET HIM LEAD AND WIPE OUT THE BAD/EVIL PEOPLE LIKE GREAT LEADERS.

My reply to the bold statements are in form of questions to you, the northern leaders and the Governors,senators of the boko haram states.

1 They should ask Peter Obi how he single-handly quashed the menance of kidnappers and hostage takers in Anambra state without the Nigerian Army or Fed Govt

2 they should ask Uduaghan and Amaechi of Delta and Rivers states how they quelled the militants and hostage takers

Otuoke dullard, only capable of copying and pasting old recycled propaganda without any intelligence of his own.
If you really want to show intelligence and objectivity why not also paste all the other posts occupied by southerners for comparison.

Meanwhile, if we should analyze the list you've provided, after putting aside elective offices i.e posts attained through election by ordinary Nigerians or their representatives (which even you cannot criticize - unless you have a problem with democracy) then we'll be left with posts appointed by only the president.

Next question; who is this president who appointed these northerners to these positions; where does he come from; is he a northerner or a southerner?
Maybe in your mind's eye Otuoke belongs to one of the LGs in northern Nigeria.

Its evident that you must have been schooled in stewpidity by the retardeenamus of Otuoke himself - who wants us to believe that stealing is not corruption and 16 is greater than 19.

Some members of the House of Representatives have stayed back in Abuja despite the Christmas and New Year break in a bid to avoid going to their constituencies.

Findings by The PUNCH on Wednesday showed that lack of cash was a major cause of the decision of the lawmakers to stay back in Abuja.

Investigations showed that the members “spent heavily” on the recently-concluded primaries of their various political parties and were reportedly cash-trapped.

Some members allegedly budgeted close to N50m for the primaries, while those seeking either a governorship or senatorial seat spent close to N100m and above.

The lawmakers were said to have expressed the fear that going to their constituencies to meet constituents during this festive period would put more financial burden on them.

“There is no money my brother. Some of us are yet to recover financially after the primaries.

“This is a festive season, coming soon after the primaries; you will appreciate the fact that people back home will pile additional financial pressures on us,” one member confided in our correspondent on Wednesday.

It was learnt that some lawmakers simply opted to send “whatever” they could afford to their constituents through third parties, while they stayed back in Abuja.

“See, we have elections coming up in February; that will cost money too.

“It is perhaps a better idea to go home in January close to the elections and prepare with the resources at our disposal,” another member told The PUNCH.

A good number of the lawmakers were sighted at the National Assembly on Wednesday, barely 24 hours to Thursday’s (today) public holiday for the Christmas.

The House had long proceeded on the Christmas and New Year break since December 17.

The House Deputy Majority Leader, Mr. Leo Ogor, confirmed that a cash crunch had hit members, but he clarified that it was a general problem affecting the entire country.

“It is the whole nation that has no money, not only Reps or National Assembly members.

“Everywhere you go, people are complaining that there is no money.

“This is not about National Assembly members alone,” he stated.

Ogor blamed the situation on the crash in crude oil prices, saying that the development had affected the flow of funds in the country.

He added, “The drop in oil prices is beginning to bite hard on all of us.

“There is a lesson in it and that lesson is that it doesn’t pay for any economy to depend on only one source of revenue, in this case, oil. We have a monolithic economy; it is high time we started diversifying the economy. We must act fast.”

Ogor also claimed that the situation was compounded because members had not received their third quarter allocation.

“We have not seen it (allocation),” he added.

Each House member collects between N27.9m and N30m as official allocation every quarter.

This is aside a monthly official salary of between N900,000 and N1m.

One of the most important things in life is to follow whatever interests you. Many people do a certain job because their parents told them or just because they can earn a lot of money. However, at the end they find that they do not like this job and that they are doing a very bad job and eventually be fired or laid off. Others have to take an extremely long path in order to find the perfect job just because their parents told them that they had to do a certain job but later found out that they disliked the job. Some others eventually end up in the circle and after years of schooling and spending money, they end back up in square one.

First of all, it is important to follow what interest you. Ignore what your parents, family or peers have to say. If you want to become a certain thing, you go and do that. If you are interested in something, you will be much more prone to do a good job and continue wanting to achieve that no matter how much work it may take. At least you would not end up in square one after six years of studying. Even if what you do takes a long time to reach and it is no doubt that you will reach obstacles in the middle, but you will eventually be happy in what you do. If you take six years to be a job that you dislike, even if you reach that you will not be happy because you will be dreading work every single morning. By following what you like, you will be able to wake up every morning and be satisfied and happy and be willing to go to work.

Secondly, some people just want to please their parents and they eventually find that they do not suit this job and they go and try to find another job. However, by then, it is already too late. Everyone at your age would have graduated and you would have just started. Also, many companies would prefer younger people so you will have a disadvantage. In addition, think about the amount of money you will have to spend. It is crazy and tuition fees are very expensive nowadays.

In short, is important to follow your dreams not someone else’s dreams. This is your life. You only live once so make it the best of it.

Then find someone who wants the same things you do. And you don't need a girl. I'm sure you'll survive just fine without one if you stopped looking for a while.

he found three girls, but all of them want sex....what do you have to say or are a sexmaniac as well

Nymphomaniac must every boy-girl relationship involve sex......All these teenagers like you experimenting with thier punny

Validated:
This is a real classic. If there is incarnation, surely Tinubu is the present day Afonja. He helped to install an Emir in Kano, the North will be installing an Emir in the South West soon.

One key information that the writer stressed was that "THERE IS NO WAY BUHARI CAN FIGHT CORRUPTING WITHOUT JAILING TINUBU". What a satire. We are watching!

Tinubu is not corrupt, so he cant be jailed...In Nigeria if you steal they say you are smart....Tinubu is smart

clevvermind:
many definitely does not know about this buhari they are clapping for.

You should clap and vote for him on 14th Feb 2015

Adminisher:
Fake letter quoting amateurishly concocted only half true history.

There is no Ilorin name like Deborah Nelson.

This is supposed to be an advice for Tinubu who worked for international multinationals, ate on Abiola's table, was a member of NADECO, was persecuted by Abacha, cooperated with Awoists, fell out with Falae, wasnbribed by Obasanjo, persecuted by Obasanjo, cooperated with Yaradua, bribed by GEJ, persecuted by GEJ...and so many other experiences in the political,arena.

No Miss Lawson, you are wrong, Tinubu is not a small boy, Tinubu is not innocent and Tinubu can read the political landscape more than you.

So stay jeje in the Isikwuato or Isiala Ngwa or from wherever you were writing the fake letter under the fake name from and leave politics for politicians.

“The Crimes of Buhari” – By Prof. Wole Soyinka.

The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naive. History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the- scenes assurances. Public offence, crimes against a polity, must be answered in the public space, not in caucuses of bargaining. In Buhari, we have been offered no evidence of the sheerest prospect of change. On the contrary, all evident suggests that this is one individual who remains convinced that this is one ex-ruler that the nation cannot call to order Buhari? Need one remind anyone – was one of the generals who treated a Commission of Enquiry, the Oputa Panel, with unconcealed disdain. Like Babangida and Abdusalami, he refused to put in appearance even though complaints that were tabled against him involved a career of gross abuses of power and blatant assault on the fundamental human rights of the Nigerian citizenry. Prominent against these charges was an act that amounted to nothing less than judicial murder, the execution of a citizen under a retroactive decree. Does Decree 20 ring a bell? If not, then, perhaps the names of three youths – Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) do. To put it quite plainly, one of those three Ogedengbe – was executed for a crime that did not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was committed. This was an unconscionable crime, carried out in defiance of the pleas and protests of nearly every sector of the Nigerian and international community religious, civil rights, political, trade unions etc.

Buhari and his sidekick and his partner-in-crime, Tunde Idiagbon persisted in this inhuman act for one reason and one reason only: to place Nigerians on notice that they were now under an iron, inflexible rule, under governance by fear. The execution of that youthful innocent for so he was, since the punishment did not exist at the time of commission – was nothing short of premeditated murder, for which the perpetrators should normally stand trial upon their loss of immunity. Are we truly expected to forget this violation of our entitlement to security as provided under existing laws? And even if our sensibilities have become blunted by succeeding seasons of cruelty and brutality, if power itself had so coarsened the sensibilities also of rulers and corrupted their judgment, what should one rightly expect after they have been rescued from the snare of power. At the very least, a revaluation, leading hopefully to remorse, and its expression to a wronged society. At the very least, such a revaluation should engender reticence, silence. In the case of Buhari, it was the opposite. Since leaving office he has declared in the most categorical terms that he had no regrets over this murder and would do so again. Human life is inviolate. The right to life is the uniquely fundamental right on which all other rights are based. The crime that General Buhari committed against the entire nation went further however, inconceivable as it might first appear. That crime is one of the most profound negations of civic being. Not content with hammering down the freedom of expression in general terms, Buhari specifically forbade all public discussion of a return to civilian, democratic rule. Let us constantly applaud our media those battle scarred professionals did not completely knuckle down.

They resorted to cartoons and oblique, elliptical references to sustain the people’s campaign for a time-table to democratic rule. Overt agitation for a democratic time table however remained rigorously suppressed military dictatorship, and a specifically incorporated in Buhari and Idiagbon was here to stay. To deprive a people of volition in their own political direction is to turn a nation into a colony of slaves. Buhari enslaved the nation. He gloated and gloried in a master-slave relation to the millions of its inhabitants. It is astonishing to find that the same former slaves, now free of their chains, should clamour to be ruled by one who not only turned their nation into a slave plantation, but forbade them any discussion of their condition. So Tai Solarin is already forgotten? Tai who stood at street corners, fearlessly distributing leaflets that took up the gauntlet where the media had dropped it. Tai who was incarcerated by that regime and denied even the medication for his asthmatic condition? Tai did not ask to be sent for treatment overseas; all he asked was his traditional medicine that had proved so effective after years of struggle with asthma! Nor must we omit the manner of Buhari coming to power and the pattern of his corrective rule. Shagari’s NPN had already run out of steam and was near universally detested except of course by the handful that still benefited from that regime of profligacy and rabid fascism. Responsibility for the national condition lay squarely at the door of the ruling party, obviously, but against whom was Buharis coup staged? Judging by the conduct of that regime, it was not against Shagaris government but against the opposition. The head of government, on whom primary responsibility lay, was Shehu Shagari. Yet that individual was kept in cozy house detention in Ikoyi while his powerless deputy, Alex Ekwueme, was locked up in Kiri-kiri prisons. Such was the Buhari notion of equitable apportionment of guilt and/or responsibility.

And then the cascade of escapes of the wanted, and culpable politicians. Manhunts across the length and breadth of the nation, roadblocks everywhere and borders tight as steel zip locks. Lo and behold, the chairman of the party, Chief Akinloye, strolled out coolly across the border. Richard Akinjide, Legal Protector of the ruling party, slipped out with equal ease. The Rice Minister, Umaru Dikko, who declared that Nigerians were yet to eat f’rom dustbins – escaped through the same airtight dragnet. The clumsy attempt to crate him home was punishment for his ingratitude, since he went berserk when, after waiting in vain, he concluded that the coup had not been staged, after all, for the immediate consolidation of the party of extreme right-wing vultures, but for the military hyenas. The case of the overbearing Secretary-General of the party, Uba Ahmed, was even more noxious. Uba Ahmed was out of the country at the time. Despite the closure of the Nigerian airspace, he compelled the pilot of his plane to demand special landing permission, since his passenger load included the almighty Uba Ahmed. Of course, he had not known of the change in his status since he was airborne. The delighted airport commandant, realizing that he had a much valued fish swimming willingly into a waiting net, approved the request. Uba Ahmed disembarked into the arms of a military guard and was promptly clamped in detention.

Incredibly, he vanished a few days after and reappeared in safety overseas. Those whose memories have become calcified should explore the media coverage of that saga. Buhari was asked to explain the vanished act of this much prized quarry and his response was one of the most arrogant levity. Coming from one who had shot his way into power on the slogan of discipline, it was nothing short of impudent. Shall we revisit the tragicomic series of trials that landed several politicians several lifetimes in prison? Recall, if you please, the judicial processes undergone by the septuagenarian Chief Adekunle Ajasin. He was arraigned and tried before Buhari’s punitive tribunal but acquitted. Dissatisfied, Buhari ordered his re-trial. Again, the Tribunal could not find this man guilty of a single crime, so once again he was returned for trial, only to be acquitted of all charges of corruption or abuse of office. Was Chief Ajasin thereby released? No! He was ordered detained indefinitely, simply for the crime of winning an election and refusing to knuckle under Shagari’s reign of terror. The conduct of the Buhari regime after his coup was not merely one of double, triple, multiple standards but a cynical travesty of justice. Audu Ogbeh, currently chairman of the Action Congress was one of the few figures of rectitude within the NPN. Just as he has done in recent times with the PDP, he played the role of an internal critic and reformer, warning, dissenting, and setting an example of probity within his ministry. For that crime he spent months in unjust incarceration.

Guilty by association? Well, if that was the motivating yardstick of the administration of the Buhari justice, then it was most selectively applied.

The utmost severity of the Buhari-Idiagbon justice was especially reserved either for the opposition in general, or for those within the ruling party who had showed the sheerest sense of responsibility and patriotism.

Shall I remind this nation of Buhari’s deliberate humiliating treatment of the Emir of Kano and the Oni of Ife over their visit to the state of Israel? I hold no brief for traditional rulers and their relationship with governments, but insist on regarding them as entitled to all the rights, privileges and responsibilities of any Nigerian citizen. This royal duo went to Israel on their private steam and private business. Simply because the Buhari regime was pursuing some antagonistic foreign policy towards Israel, a policy of which these traditional rulers were not a part, they were subjected on their return to a treatment that could only be described as a head masterly chastisement of errant pupils. Since when, may one ask, did a free citizen of the Nigerian nation require the permission of a head of state to visit a foreign nation that was willing to offer that tourist a visa? One is only too aware that some Nigerians love to point to Buhari’s agenda of discipline as the shining jewel in his scrap-iron crown. To inculcate discipline however, one must lead by example, obeying laws set down as guides to public probity. Example speaks louder than declarations, and rulers cannot exempt themselves from the disciplinary structures imposed on the overall polity, especially on any issue that seeks to establish a policy for public well-being. The story of the thirty something suitcases it would appear that they were even closer to fifty – found unavoidable mention in my recent memoirs, YOU MUST SET FORTH AT DOWN, written long before Buhari became spoken of as a credible candidate. For the exercise of a changeover of the national currency, the Nigerian borders air, sea and land had been shut tight.
Nothing was supposed to move in or out, not even cattle egrets.

Yet a prominent camel was allowed through that needles eye. Not only did Buhari dispatch his aide-de-camp, Jokolo later to become an emir- to facilitate the entry of those cases, he ordered the redeployment as I later discovered – of the Customs Officer who stood firmly against the entry of the contravening baggage. That officer, the incumbent Vice-president is now a rival candidate to Buhari, but has somehow, in the meantime, earned a reputation that totally contradicts his conduct at the time. Wherever the truth lies, it does not redound to the credibility of the dictator of that time, General Buhari whose word was law, but whose allegiances were clearly negotiable.

On the theme of double, triple, multiple standards in the enforcement of the law, and indeed of the decrees passed by the Buhari regime at the time, let us recall the notorious case of Triple Alhaji Alhaji Alhaji, then Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance. Who was caught, literally, with his pants down in distant Austria. That was not the crime however, and private conduct should always remain restricted to the domain of private censure.

There was no decree against civil servants proving just as hormone driven as anyone else, especially outside the nation’s borders.

However, there was a clear decree against the keeping of foreign accounts, and this was what emerged from the Austrian escapade. Alhaji Alhaji kept, not one, but several undeclared foreign accounts, and he had no business being in possession of the large amount of foreign currency of which he was robbed by his overnight companion. The media screamed for an even application of the law, but Buhari had turned suddenly deaf. By contrast, Fela Anikulapo languished in goal for years, sentenced under that very draconian decree. His crime was being in possession of foreign exchange that he had legitimately received for the immediate upkeep of his band as they set off for an international engagement. A vicious sentence was slapped down on Fela by a judge who later became so remorse stricken at least after Buhari’s overthrow that he went to the King of Afro-beat and apologized.

Lesser known was the traumatic experience of the director of an international communication agency, an affiliate of UNESCO. Akin Fatoyinbo arrived at the airport in complete ignorance of the new currency decree. He was thrown in gaol in especially brutal condition, an experience from which he never fully recovered. It took several months of high-level intervention before that innocent man was eventually freed. These were not exceptional but mere sample cases from among hundreds of others, victims of a decree that was selectively applied, a decree that routinely penalized innocents and ruined the careers and businesses of many.

What else? What does one choose to include or leave out? What precisely was Ebenezer Babatope’s crime that he should have spent the entire tenure of General Buhari in detention?

Nothing beyond the fact that he once warned in the media that Buhari was an ambitious soldier who would bear watching through the lenses of a coup-detat. Babatope’s father died while he was in Buhari’s custody, the dictator remained deaf to every plea that he be at least released to attend his father’s funeral, even under guard. I wrote an article at the time, denouncing this pointless insensitivity. So little to demand by a man who was never accused of, nor tried for any crime,much less found guilty. Such a load of vindictiveness that smothered all traces of basic human compassion deserves no further comment in a nation that values its traditions.

But then, speaking the truth was not what Buhari, as a self-imposed leader, was especially enamoured of enquire of Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor both of whom, faithful to their journalistic calling, published nothing but the truth, yet ended up sentenced under Buhari’s decree. Mind you, no one can say that Buhari was not true to his word. Shall tamper with the freedom of the press swore the dictator immediately on grabbing office, and this was exactly what he did. And so on, and on, and on……

“Jesus is coming to have children”
Shiek Abdul Fatai Muhammed Buhari Inakoju is a Director, Religion and Operation, Ogun State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board. He speaks on the coming again of Jesus.

Islam as a religion believes in the second coming of Jesus Christ. I believe in Jesus Christ as the messenger of Allah and as the son of Mary. (may the blessings of God be upon him).

The teachings of Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w) explains that Jesus Christ is coming this time to propagate the word of God and importantly to do things he was unable to do during his life time on earth due to the direction and assignment given to him by his Master, Allah.

But his second coming will give him the chance to marry and give birth to children. The second coming of Jesus Christ signifies the end of time and there will be a great fight between him and Dajjai (anti Christ) and Christ will overcome.

Jesus will be buried in Medina
Alhaji Lateef Laguda is the Chairman, Ansar-ud-een Society of Nigeria, Festac Branch. He bares his mind on the issue of Jesus return.

“Christianity and Islam both hold to the firm conviction that Jesus Christ, who lived in the land of Israel nearly twenty centuries ago, was raised alive to heaven and will return to earth in the fulness of time.”

“It is universally accepted in the world of Islam that Jesus Christ will eventually return to earth. Jesus will descend in the Middle East where he will destroy the Dajjal (Antichrist), that he will lead the whole world to embrace Islam, that he will marry and have children, and that he will die after forty years and be buried in Medina alongside the tombs of Muhammad, Abu Bakr and Umar.

The Qur’anic text invariably referred to in support of the doctrine that Jesus will return to earth towards the end of human history.”

“And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): Therefore have no doubt about the (Hour) but follow ye Me: this is a Straight Way. Surah 43.61″

“There are obviously key differences between Christian and Muslim beliefs regarding the return of Jesus from heaven but the fact is universally agreed on. Christians do not accept that he will come to live again as an ordinary human being on earth, least of all that he will die and be buried. Nevertheless, Jesus is coming the second time to make the ungodly believe in Allah.”

Jesus was not crusified— Alh Jamiu Adeyanju
“All Muslim believes in the coming back of Jesus before the Day of Resurrection. He will return to become a leader of the Muslim nation as has been revealed in the Quarn and Hadith of the Holy Prophet.”

“First, Allah made it clear in the Qran that every single soul shall died (according to Q62:8, 63:11 etc) and fully understood our Holy Book that surely Jesus as a living soul will die too but until he returns to this earth. While we (Muslim) believe that Jesus did not die; we strongly believe according to our Holy Book that he was raised up by Allah and would descend in time to come for other special assignment from Allah before he died.”

“Allah almighty says in the Quran:”And their saying (in boast): We killed the Messiah Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah; but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the semblance of Jesus was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts with no (certainty of) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjectures” Q4:157.”

“For a surely; they killed him not (i.e Jesus) but Allah raised him up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heaven), And Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All Wise” Q4:158″

“I so much love a verse in the Bible that testified a word from Jesus about his coming back as well but was misconceived and misinterpreted by the claimed followers of Jesus.”

“Jesus said: “A little while and ye shall not see me; and again a little while, ye shall see me, because I go to God” John 16:16

“Lastly, Our Holy prophet also told us about his coming back an Hadith Narrated by Abu Huraira (Ra): Allahs Messenger (s.a.w) said: “By Him (Allah) in whose Hands my soul is; Surely Jesus will shortly descend amongst you (Muslims) and will judge mankind justly by the law of the Quarn and will break the cross and kill the pigs and abolish the Jizya (Tax levied upon non-Muslims who are under the protection of a Muslim government), then there will be abundance of money and nobody will accept charitable gifts” (Sahih Al-Bukhari

^^^'Fashola/Rochas' i hear you say? It's like you didn't get the memo......Hausa/Fulani must feature on the ticket or else the world will stop spinning on its axis!

Nothing will happen, it only the southerners living in the North who have refused to relocate since 1980s when it was obvious that religious riots were targeted to Non-Hausas in the North will suffer.

If i were you i would give money to my relatives and friends living in the North to come back home....Now before Feb 14 2015
