Buhari has not disappointed me—Obasanjo *Says African youths must not accept status quo FORMER President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his achievements so saying there is need to encourage him to do more. Obasanjo He also appealed to leaders and youths in Africa to embrace change to tackle the continent’s challenges besieging it. The former President said his, Thursday, on a CNN global affairs interview programme hosted by Chief International Correspondent, Christiane Amanpour. While he called on African youths not to accept the status quo, he said there is need for them to make bitter sacrifices. On the challenges facing the African continent, he said there is need to change from the status quo. He said: “There are many challenges. How do we feed our population that is supposed to double in about a generation from now? How do we provide jobs for them and employment? Now, these are the challenges. It cannot be business as usual. We cannot sit in the cool and comfort of our past and think that we will be able to bring about change. Change has to come.” Below is an excerpt of the interview: How do you, as someone who is seen as Africa’s elder statesman, say to these African leaders like the former Angolan President, José Eduardo dos Santos? The fact that José Eduardo dos Santos decided to go, for me, is some comfort. That he handpicked somebody to succeed him may not be good as it should be. Maybe that somebody may not do it the way he would have wanted to do it. So, let us see what happens in Angola. I know you are sitting here with the benefit of the years you have had in leadership position but you also remember what it is to be like that young man who was imprisoned by military regime. Would you have been happy to be told ‘let us wait and see’? Yes, I would have been happy to be told ‘let us wait and see’. But you were imprisoned? I was put in prison. Is it because you believed in freedom of democracy? I spoke for democracy. I said if any military man wants to continue to rule, he should put off his military uniform and contest election and for that, I was put in jail. But when I was in jail because Nigerians and the international community stood for me, I came out of jail. When I was released from jail, the hope I had materialized. I am an optimist. I am always full of hope. I look for the best even in the worst of situation. But again, we go back to the same point when you have an elite that is either controlling the ruling of the country or controlling, in the example of José Eduardo dos Santos’s daughter, who runs some of the lucrative business in the country. You can see why it would be disheartening for Africa’s youth. There is a limit to how much you can take on unless you are truly a devil I incarnate and when there is too much pressure, you will give in. So, your message to the youth is to maintain that pressure and to continue believing. Yes, I believe that they must be ready to also make a bitter sacrifice and that means not accepting the status quo. Look at what happened in Burkina Faso, the leadership there did not want to go, but when pressure was too much, they gave up. You were a big supporter of President Buhari but at the moment, there are a lot of concerns about his health. There are concerns about Nigeria’s economy. What worries you? President Buhari has not disappointed me. Yes, he is fighting corruption, he is fighting insurgency. We are not there yet and it is not a one night wonder. With what he has done, we should credit him and encourage him to do more. Is there something you want to say as a clear message to Africa’s leadership in terms of what they have to do to achieve what the continent is capable of achieving? Stop doing what is wrong like impunity and corruption. Africa is not destined to have. People try to make excuses, there should be no excuse and then we must place our individual countries and Africa above all interests. I believe that this is what we should do and if we do this, we will get there. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/09/buhari-not-disappointed-obasanjo/ |
It might be interesting for some to find out that the following foods are in fact from Africa; Africa indeed has an astonishing lot to offer in diverse areas. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 4 foods you probably didn’t know originated from Africa. (1) Coffee The dark, delicious and stimulating coffee bean is believed by many coffee experts to have originated from East Africa, where it was first grown sometime in the 14th century. It then made its way to Northern Africa in the 1600s before spreading to other parts of the world. (2)Sugar Sugar actually came from New Guinea before making its way to foreign lands like America via the Middle East more than 12,000 years ago. It is believed that in the attempt of the Arabs to conquer Southern Africa, they spread sugar throughout the region, which eventually made its way to Spain and became popular in Europe and the rest of the western world. (3)Rice While rice is able to be grown quite well on foreign non-African soil, African slaves are the ones credited with teaching foreigners (Americans to be precise) how to properly irrigate a rice field and thus grow rice. (4)Curry This is one of the most widespread spices in the world and though it is largely identified with the Asians, its origin can be traced to Africa from the time of early railway construction to Uganda, when the British imported a lot of Indians who came to Africa with curries.

APPLE’s newly launched smart phone Apple X is making a clear innovative statement. Apparently, the device maker’s focus is to continually remain on top despite stiff competition. That is where innovation is key and Apple showed its stuff with the exclusive facial recognition technology feature in the new device. Usually Apple’s devices spot fingerprint, facial recognition, password and other unlocking methods. Now, the device maker has done away with others and makes the unlocking system of its new beaut exclusively facial recognition. Speaking during the on stage presentation at the launch, Apple’s Senior Vice President, Craig Federighi, revealed; ““The iPhone X has wireless charging, an infrared camera and hardware for facial recognition, which replaces the fingerprint sensor for unlocking the phone. The home button is also gone, and users instead tap the device to wake it up. It features richer colours thanks to the new OLED screen technology, and is water resistant with the option of 64GB or 265GB version. “The iPhone X has a 12 megapixel wide angle lens and a second telephoto lens for zooming. It offers huge improvements over the cameras we saw in the iPhone 7 Plus, which was the first to offer a telephoto lens.This means less shaky videos, improved pictures in low light, and more. Also, a new front-facing “TrueDepth” camera is installed and capable of taking fancy portrait shots that debuted on the iPhone 7 Plus, which create a blurred background effect that looks much more professional. It is fitted with A11 Bionic chip, which has six cores and is the most powerful chip yet in a smart phone.”Federighi enthused. The launch also saw the display of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, as well as the 4G enabled Apple Watch which, for the first time, will be able to make calls and access the internet without the customer carrying an iPhone, a major upgrade that would likely double watch sales. Apple iPhone X would be shipped November 3 at $999. Read more at: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/09/incredible-tech-face-unlocks-apples-iphones-x/ |
