He is gradually taking the good schools to other parts of the state. But go and direct your anger to those who were there for years without building any new school and leaving the ones built abt 35 years ago by Sam Mbakwe to dilapidate

Imanuelle:
How about the numerous uncompleted schools?

RESULTS
Findings are summarized in Table 1.
In the schools visited, the use of science resource corner for teaching and learning was
left to the discretion of the class teachers, consequently few classrooms had science
corners while several others had none. Results showed that all the 135 primary schools
visited have football fields which also serve as play ground. Only one school had
facilities for handball. All other recreational facilities such as volleyball, basketball, table
tennis, swimming pool, lawn tennis were not available in any of the schools.
All the 135 primary schools had no computer and communication facilities.
Only five out of the one hundred and thirty schools had regular and good source of water
supply all others had none. Only two schools had functional libraries
Two schools had functional toilet facilities. However only one school located in the urban
area had forty eight V.I.P latrines with a population of 1470 pupils. This is in line with
the Federal Government stipulation of one toilet to not more than twenty five pupils.
Only one school located in the urban area had no farm/garden as a result of lack of space.
All others had both farm and vegetable gardens. Seven schools had facilities for music
while only two schools had facilities for arts. No government primary school had
transportation facilities. Results show that all the schools visited had fairly adequate firstaid
boxes except six schools. Four schools located in the urban area had block walls.
Only one school had two paid security men. One school had well managed landscape. All
others had flowers in the school compound but they were not well planned. Findings
indicated that all the schools visited were clean and well kept however burning was the
only means of refuse disposal

There is now, nor has there ever been an organized “pan-Islamic” terrorist presence in Yemen though one has been “simulated” through misleading reports, “false flag” terror and a theatre of “counter-terrorist” activities, drone attacks and such, for no purpose other than to provide a base of operations for a global criminal enterprise.

What we are seeing now in Nigeria is part of the same strategy, one that has included attacks on a physical scale, currency manipulation and now a staged move against Africa, which will be combined with attempts to exploit the vulnerabilities of the Arab Spring, new players, new governments and new greed.

Key Nigerians ripe for bribery are making this possible. They are aware they are bringing about the destruction of their own nation, they simply don’t care. The attitude there is “every man for himself.” Another way of describing those currently in power, including and especially officials in counter-terrorism and security is “rats abandoning a sinking ship.”
In all fairness, the U.S. has a similar elitist clique of politicians, special interest multi-nationals, some of whom have their own intelligence resources that rival most countries.

Nigeria has not gotten to that point yet but may soon reach the point of no return.
Sources within the Intel community have confirmed that Boko Haram is getting Intel assistance from senior Nigerian intelligence officials.
To these officials, this is a means to an end.
The danger here is that a monster has been created which sooner or later may go out of control of their political masters.
Certain people are benefiting financially from the current security situation in the country, from inflated security contracts.
One such individual from within the presidency recently placed orders from a North American and Middle East country located near Tel Aviv.
What is the cost of a Nigerian life (Mr.) and how much is it worth to you sir?
This is the public version of things anyway. However, outside forces are at play, concerns “from afar” best described in a fictional context.

H. G. Wells described it best in his science fiction novel, War of the Worlds.

“No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter…
It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days…Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious

For Those Who Have Ears to Hear


By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor


I won’t write about Nigeria as a journalist. I am known in Nigeria as a national security specialist with decades of experience there.

I have close personal friends at the highest levels of government and only write these few words out of deep concern.

For those reading the news about Africa, both of you, Nigeria is under terrorist attack and preparing military operations against a group called Boko Haram, an Islamic group from the North, more accurately centered in Niger, a nation to the north, a cesspool of international intrigue.

From Veterans Today’s London correspondent, a specialist on African affairs:

From Veterans Today’s London correspondent, a specialist on African affairs:


Jonathan Goodluck

The article was well written and thoroughly researched although it didn’t go far enough in identifying dealing with the greed of certain establishment figures that may directly or indirectly be involved in some of the atrocities committed by Boko Haram.

1. The security of the presidency and the entire nation has been greatly compromised by the activities of certain individuals very close to the presidency.
2. It is common knowledge that the president of Nigeria is not protected at all and you can get at him at any time in or out of his residence.
3. The security around him is a joke to say the least, contrary to the views of certain individuals around the president.
4. The issues of government by settlement which had long plagued Nigeria are the orders of the day now where certain individuals are asking for colossal sums of money from certain securithas been known to collect huge sums of money from these outfits currently parading themselves as security consultants in Abuja.

6. The level of cover and protection given the president and his family is simply laughable and nonexistent
Why has the country been compromised
It is widely known that certain foreign elements are providing security to the president and providing his current security details.
What a joke, you might say. These same foreign elements are the same who have sold outdated equipment to the government and are going around Abuja installing CCTV and bomb detection equipment around the capitol, technology decades old.
Huge sums of money have changed hands for second rate equipment
The government pays for a Rolls Royce car but gets a VW Beetle instead!!
Why is there so much fear and apprehension among Nigerians that the government can no longer protect its citizens?

What are the costs expended so far on security equipment and the so called security consultants?
Why have certain individuals collected bribe money to award these security contracts at over inflated figures?
Now, this is one example of several of how corruption is endemic and goes to the heart of government.
You may wonder who stands to benefit from these contracts at the expense of the security of the president, the presidency and the nation.
The answers to these questions lies within the presidency itself because of the acts of these individuals in the last few weeks.
There are no real interests to control the activities of Boko Haram because of the vested interests of certain foreign governments in collusion with their agents in the present administration and the country.
To some in government, this is another tool to control certain individuals.
Most Nigerians are cowards, anyway. Kill a few “Nigerians,” “Christians” and make it look like christianity against Islam to provoke a reaction from Nigerians.
If you get no reaction, kill a few more or go after prime targets to grab headlines.
Again, you may ask yourself, who stands to gain when there are terror scares in the country?
Nigerians are highly intelligent and resourceful people and can put an immediate end to all of these happenings when their own status is on the line and their livelihood is at stake or threatened.

mirexxx:
are u an illiterate?

barcanista:
Bros, it is like you are missing the point. Anybody can fill but not anybody can sign a document. Buhari may only be allowed to sign. The Aide may be a close friend or something who may not necessarily be on the employ of the general. What is competent or incompetent in having a personal person that takes care of personal stuffs? The information provided are correct so what is the fuse my oga? Honestly, we have no case against the general.

barcanista:
The Course Military Education Level 1 Programs that Buhari was enroilled in and graduated is a 10 month Master's program course according to the information on their website. I am of the FIRM belief that the General earned whatever he claim to earn. These things are not rocket science and it doesn't come up today. Anyway, please help us enquire sha. Let us put this to rest

In a sign that trouble was still ahead, some days after the attacks, a bomb went off in the state capital, ramping up the tension. The bombed house belongs to a former state government official, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, who had defected to the PDP.

WITH the 2015 general election approaching, it is worrying that political violence is becoming the order of the day in some states. Joining the ignoble club, a fist-fight a few weeks ago in the Edo State House of Assembly has metamorphosed into an orgy of brutality. Things went awry last June when some lawmakers defected from the All Progressives Congress to the Peoples Democratic Party, but the past two weeks have witnessed an escalation in violent skirmishes.

Political thugs led by Hon member of the Edo State House of Assembly Phillips Shiabu (APC) yesterday attacked a fellow member of the Edo State House of Assembly Hon. Rasak Momoh(PDP) at his residence within the legislators quarters in Benin, the Edo State capital. Hon. Rasak was said to have been beaten unconscious and is now lying critically ill at University of Benin Teaching Hospital. More Pics after the cut

It will be recalled that Hon Rasak in the past has alleged that his signature was forged by the APC faction of EDHA members during the key moment of the fracas that erupted at the House of Assembly some months ago.

Ngwakwe:
I have a link but think it's not 100% reliable hence I didn't want to bother stating it.

Who postulated the nonsense that Buhari forfeits 90% of his pension without a verifiable source from either direct quote from Buhari or Finance ministry.

Have you forgotten so soon how Buhari's daughter married Anambrarian? When it became obvious it was a lie then come the defence by his supporters that it wasn't Buhari that said so.

Stop making up lies for Buhari. It's not working.

Lord grant me the patience to avoid the nuisance called Cramjones aka FFK.

naturally:
Na today. This is exposing/history digging season.

“We believe that General Buhari represents the darkness and that President Jonathan represents the light. We believe that General Buhari represents a return to an ugly past, which is best forgotten while President Jonathan represents our hope for a greater and better future.
“We believe that the APC, on which platform General Buhari is contesting the presidential election, represents everything that is unholy and unwholesome in our society and that the PDP represents all that is decent and good,” he said.
Mr. Fani-Kayode said the much-touted “change” campaign of Mr. Buhari represents nothing but change from good to evil.
“If you want a positive change, you cannot expect to get it from a man like General Buhari whose democratic credentials are questionable and whose record in public office is shameful and disastrous,” he said.
The former Minister said most Nigerians do not remember the “atrocities” that Mr. Buhari committed when he was in power, adding that it is the responsibility of his team to “document them and remind the Nigerian people about them”.
“Most people have chosen to ignore the number of things that General Buhari has said and the number of things that he has done over the last few months and years that have brought carnage, division and strife in our society and that prove that he is not the sort of person that can be trusted with power.

April 9, 2014
A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, on Wednesday said there are dangers in electing Muhammadu Buhari, the candidate of the opposition party All Progressives Congress, APC, as the President of Nigeria come February 14.
Mr. Fani-Kayode, who is the spokesperson of President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign team, said the group will expose the dangers he described.
He said this at a news conference in Abuja.
Mr. Fani-Kayode said the president’s campaign team would run a campaign that focuses on facts, figures and the exposure of Mr. Buhari, “for who he really is”.
“It is our full intention to expose General Muhammadu Buhari for what he really is, what he stands for and the great danger that his candidacy portends for the unity of the Nigerian state and the peace and well-being of the Nigerian people,” he said.
Mr. Fani-Kayode said the team he leads will also let the world know about the sterling performance of President Jonathan, over the last four years and will also make a strong case to the Nigerian people on the reasons to grant the sitting president, the opportunity to serve a second term.
“We believe that we have reached a crossroads in our nation’s history and that the forthcoming Presidential Election is a battle for the very soul and destiny of Nigeria,” he said.
Mr. Fani-Kayode said the election would expose the clear differences between Messrs. Jonathan and Buhari, which he described as “light and darkness”.
“We believe that General Buhari represents the darkness and that President Jonathan represents the light. We believe that General Buhari represents a return to an ugly past, which is best forgotten while President Jonathan represents our hope for a greater and better future.
“We believe that the APC, on which platform General Buhari is contesting the presidential election, represents everything that is unholy and unwholesome in our society and that the PDP represents all that is decent and good,” he said.
Mr. Fani-Kayode said the much-touted “change” campaign of Mr. Buhari represents nothing but change from good to evil.
“If you want a positive change, you cannot expect to get it from a man like General Buhari whose democratic credentials are questionable and whose record in public office is shameful and disastrous,” he said.
The former Minister said most Nigerians do not remember the “atrocities” that Mr. Buhari committed when he was in power, adding that it is the responsibility of his team to “document them and remind the Nigerian people about them”.
“Most people have chosen to ignore the number of things that General Buhari has said and the number of things that he has done over the last few months and years that have brought carnage, division and strife in our society and that prove that he is not the sort of person that can be trusted with power.
“It is our intention to bring those things to the attention of the Nigerian people so that they can make an informed choice,” he said.
Mr. Fani-Kayode said Nigeria should not be run by a man that is not capable of tolerating dissent or by a political party like the APC that has no sense of remorse, restraint or decency and that is not capable of accepting a plurality of views.
He said Mr. Jonathan has earned the right for a second term and that, in the next few weeks, his campaign team will make a humble appeal to the Nigerian people to vote for him massively in the February 14 Presidential Election.
“By the grace and power of God, we shall prevail,” he said.
Responding to a reporter’s questions on whether Mr. Jonathan will travel to the northeastern part of Nigeria that has been under constant attack by the Boko Haram insurgents to canvass for votes, Mr. Fani-Kayode said the president would go to the region and “has answers to all their questions”.
“In spite of acts of insurgency in the North-East, the PDP-led Federal Government had done a lot to contain the situation,” he said.
He also dismissed allegations of the president condoning corruption, saying no one has been indicted or prosecuted for corruption because “no one has presented credible evidence of corruption against any top government official”

“If you go down memory lane during the period of regional governments, the leaders then used to allocate 43 per cent of the budget to education and that is why their names will never be forgotten

RedEboe:
Mr Odua, your much more intelligent Yoruba leaders are aware of these threats and have since sold Buhari to Jonathan.
Buhari is being sent on a very nasty wild goose chase. A grand design that will finish his political career for good.
You all just don't understand the stakes.

Stay tuned.
