The presidential source stated that a
female
Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) doctor treated
the
president. He said Mr. Buhari’s ear was
cleaned
again, and antibiotics applied to it. After just

President Buhari’s ear got
infected after one of his doctors in Abuja
“cleaned” his ear

SaharaReporters has learned that doctors in the UK who examined President Muhammadu Buhari’s ear infection have cleared him to travel back to Nigeria next week. A presidential source told our correspondent that Mr. Buhari was likely to leave London for Abuja next Thursday.


The source disclosed that the Nigerian president spent a day at a hospital in London where he underwent a series of tests to diagnose the nature of his ear ailment and a course of treatment. He declined to name the hospital where Mr. Buhari was seen.

According to the source, the doctors in the UK determined that President Buhari’s ear got infected after one of his doctors in Abuja “cleaned” his ear when he complained about a substantial loss of hearing from that particular ear. The presidential source stated that a female Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) doctor treated the president. He said Mr. Buhari’s ear was cleaned again, and antibiotics applied to it. After just two days in the UK, Mr. Buhari reportedly proclaimed that his ear was feeling fine, according to our source.

SaharaReporters learned that President Buhari has returned to the Nigerian diplomatic residence in London known as “Abuja House” where he intends to spend the rest of his time in the UK.

Another source in London disclosed that doctors in the UK had also prescribed a chest x-ray for Mr. Buhari to determine the cause of his persistent cough. The source said he was not aware what the result of the x-ray was.

A source familiar with the goings-on in the UK told SaharaReporters that Mr. Buhari was expected to travel back to Abuja by next Thursday “if every goes well.”

Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Transportation Minister of Transportation and former Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi says his greatest regret as governor of Rivers State for eight years is that the people of the state have failed to recognize his contribution towards the progress of the state. Amaechi, who spoke at the Annual Lagos Traffic Radio Lecture Series in Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos also accused the incumbent Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, of driving away investors from the state due to growing insecurity and crime. “The problem with Nigerians is that they forget so soon what someone had done for them. And that was one of my greatest regrets as the Governor of River State for eight years. I served my people but they did not recognise my contribution,” he lamented. According to Amaechi, there was no way one would be encouraged to do more for his people if they did not appreciate what such person had done in the past. The former governor, however, accused Wike of driving away investors from Rivers as he had not been able to tackle rising wave of insecurity in the area, which had led to the plunging of the Internally Generated Revenue, IGR, from N8 billion to N4 billion. “Do you know that people are now migrating away from Port Harcourt? When I was the Governor of Rivers State, nothing like that happened. The crime rate in the state has now increased and the IGR dropped. As the governor, the IGR of the state was at N8 billion. And that was why I have often advised Nigerian public office holders not to play with figures. “I was accused of owing 12 months’ salary but when I left office, I had paid up to 40 percent of the workforce. I believe that all public officers must tell the public the truth always. During my tenure, when my IGR begins to fall, I invite the Commissioner of Police and other security operatives in the state to bring the statistics of crime in the state. “Due to the crime rate in the state, people have started migrating away from the state and the IGR has dropped to N4 billion. The state governor (Wike) now moves like chairman of a council, asking traders and others if they had paid their taxes. But when I was the governor, I don’t engage in that,” he said. According to Amaechi, “Migration is either voluntary or involuntary. But in the case of Rivers State, it is involuntary. They are forced to relocate from the state. The man complained that I am corrupt but I have asked him to go to court but until today, he is yet to bring evidence forward to buttress his claims.” Amaechi also said that the reason Lagos often experience gridlock was due to lack of roads in the state, saying, “How many times do you see traffic in Abuja? And the reason was that it had nexus of roads. There is need for the construction of more connecting bridges across the state.” The minister, in his paper, said as far as mass transportation was concerned, there is evidence to show that inadequacy in transport infrastructure and services had contributed significantly to the prevalence of poverty across various Nigerian communities in both urban and rural areas. He said the problems of Nigerian transport system had varied across various sub-sectors including air, water, rail and road transport in particular. “The challenges confronting transportation in Nigeria are numerous but its greatest failure is attributable to poor governance which several Nigerians have identified, including a former Minister of Transport, Dr . Abiye Sekibo, who noted that “transportation occupies a central position in the socio-economic and political development of any nation” but “successive Nigerian governments have left the transport sector comatose as a result of total neglect”. He listed excessive government monopoly, grounded rail system with inefficient, obsolete and deficient transport policy, under-developed inland waterways, ports and port services, as well as corruption, as being major problems of the sector,” he said. “In achieving our mission of establishing a safe, efficient, affordable and seamless intermodal transport system, we will ensure that we achieve internationally acceptable standards and deploy the available resources in the private sector through public private partnership to build a sustainable transportation system. This goal is realizable and the advantage we have is the political will and incorruptible nature of our Team Leader –President Muhamadu Buhari. I therefore urge all Nigerians to give us their support and prayers,” he added.

A militant group known as the Bakassi Strike Force has advised the Federal Government to listen to the agitation of the Niger Delta Avengers.Speaking in Esuk Mba, in Akpabuyo Local Government Area of Cross River State, leader of the group, Simple Benjamin said not negotiating with the separatists have retrogressive effect on the economy of the country.According to Benjamin, “There is no struggle without a reason and so, government should adopt the approach of the American Ambassadorto Nigeria who advocated for dialogue as war alone cannot solve their problems in tackling the issue.”Niger Delta Avengers has recently revived militant activity by launching several attacks on pipeline installation in the Niger Delta region.The militant group has also claimed responsibility for the said attacks.

Very right


If not Jagaban, then who is better?


Atiku or Saraki?

Nigeria's Trans Niger
Pipeline, one of two major
pipelines that carries the
Bonny Light crude grade for
export, was shut down on
Wednesday after a leak was
found, industry sources
familiar with the matter said.
The shutdown comes just as
repairs were completed on
the Nembe Creek Trunk Line
that also moves the major
export grade. Force majeure
was declared by Royal Dutch
Shell on Bonny Light exports after
the NCTL was closed in early
May.
One source referring to a
memo sent out to participants
in the TNP said that it was
expected to be down for at
least a week and would see
around 130,000 barrels per
day of production shutdown.
Shell was not immediately able to
comment.

Onix01:
The way you've sounded shows your level of ignorance and lacklustre background. You don't pass your message with insults, but I'll pardon you because of ur background training. I can assure you that NDA will soon become history. Just like the days of John Togo who wasn't ready for dialogue but to continue with militancy.

Deputy Senate President, Ike
Ekweremadu, has explained
that the Senate President,
Bukola Saraki, was the most
persecuted in his capacity as
the Senate President in the
history of the Country.
He stated this while
contributing to the debate
marking the end of
legislative session on
Thursday.
He recalled that the
horrendous experience of
the Senate President was as
a result of his emergence as
Senate President against the
choice of ‘powers’ that be,
which he said, Saraki was
been buffeted from all
directions.
“Mr Senate President,
distinguished colleagues, I
commend your resilience
despite the fact that you
were the most persecuted,
being buffeted from all
directions,” he said.
Ekweremadu described as
unfortunate some people’s
refusal to see the patriotism
and Statesmanship of Saraki
and continue to plot for his
downfall, explaining that his
leadership was divinely
arranged.
He, however, commended the
Senate for their
understanding that has kept
them together in the last one
year, particularly with
respect to his position as the
Deputy Senate President
coming from an opposition
party.
He solicited the cooperation
of all Senators in order to
move the nation forward.

It would have been so easy if anger could solve
problems. We would have chosen the path of the
prophecy of the legendary Bob Marley of blessed
memory. “A total destruction, the only solution.
They aren’t no use, no one can stop them now!”
Quite obviously, the civil war that seemed to have
been avoided in March 2015 on the heels of
former President Jonathan’s concession of defeat
to retired General Muhammadu Buhari, is now
looming large more than ever before. Who didn’t
feel a chill up the spine when the carefully
choreographed theatre of the absurd played out
at the collation centre of election results on that
fateful sunny day when ex-Minister Orubebe
starred as the notorious bad boy and angel of
doom? Who didn’t feel the eerie air of silence that
seemed to have paralysed the nation in
expectation of the second Act?
Again, who did not heave a sigh of relief when
Goodluck Jonathan finally did the needful and
called Muhammadu Buhari on telephone to
concede the obvious defeat that was only waiting
to be announced? Who?
Of what relevance is that today, though, in the
face of dreadful realities portending danger and
misery for the Niger Delta and the rest of the
country?
Indeed, every fair-minded analyst knew what it
meant for Nigeria when news broke out that
former President Jonathan performed the
historical act that was done before him only by
Dimeji Bankole at a lower level, to concede
electoral defeat and congratulate the rightful
winner. We knew the pit of hell that Nigeria was
rescued from and agreed that Jonathan deserved
accolades.
Tragically too, we knew very many things that we
did not want Jonathan to get away with. One
generally known fact is that no nation on earth
makes budgetary provisions for the re-election
campaign of any political leader. Nigeria was no
exception. Yet information dominated the
airwaves of the free flow of hard currency for
gratifications to mobilise support from all nooks
and corners for Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election.
Ridiculous pictures hit the airwaves, of an
incumbent president kneeling and crawling for
prayers before witches, pastors and imams.
Millions of dollars were paid for spiritual salvation
and physical manipulations.
Today, thanks to the dogged but expected efforts
of President Muhammadu Buhari, these issues are
no longer speculations but common knowledge
that will soon be widely validated by judicial
pronouncements. Government and party officials,
who knew so well that there was no budgetary
allocation for the re-election campaign of the
president are now trying in vain to feign
ignorance of the source of the money that was
disbursed to them to prosecute the president’s
re-election campaign. The giver and the taker of
stolen money are often considered trapped in the
same cage in the spirit of the law. Ignorance is no
excuse.
The same applies to a cousin or next-of-kin of the
president, who is officially awarded a $40 million
contract and is paid upfront in full for doing
nothing.
A lot happened prior to the elections too.
Sanusigate ended up in some Pricewater charade
with whistleblowers rather than the perpetrators
of crime being hunted beyond all bounds. The
perpetrators revelled in triumph and emptiness,
believing in the power of the highest political
instance. The brigandage of an elitist clique called
the shots in the land much to the amazement
and fury of the discerning minds. A nation was
simply bastardised by drinkers of liquor and many
who should have known better.
No doubt that the anger was immense that
Jonathan sought to paper-over with the virtue of
conceding an electoral defeat that was not
orchestrated to look as such. The sweetness of
the moment was compounded by memories of
the vicious rape committed on a single nation in
the belief of raping the nation on a turn-by-turn
basis and from region to region. Worse still, it was
led by a man who, Nigerians erroneously believed,
was blessed with the highest possible academic
decoration as a symbol of intellectual superiority.
Now, we know that former President Jonathan is
immensely constrained intellectually by virtue of
his actions and omissions. Discerning Nigerians –
not the half-educated and emotionally
overwhelmed soldier-bees – had long come to
terms with this reality and accepted that an
internationally brokered soft-landing (even
though only speculated) for the ex-president may
be grudgingly accepted in the interest of peace.
That much was the status quo until Sahara
Reporters threw the bombshell. We will come to
that later.
No one anticipated the enormity of the theft that
the former president supervised until fingers
started pointing at him repeatedly, as the
legitimator of the loots that turned the Central
Bank to a self-service snack bar. The deliberate
weakening of the Nigerian Armed Forces through
the free ride granted the Generals to loot the
coffers blind was complemented by the
suspected arming of rebel forces in the creeks
with warships from Norway, as far as we know in
public space. Former President Obasanjo worried
aloud about fighters sponsored by President
Jonathan, who were receiving military training
overseas. His open letter claiming the stock-piling
of weapons by Jonathan’s men is no secret to the
nation. Today, some militants are boasting of
missiles to strike the presidential palace.
It all started with the curious and sudden
resurgence of secession agitation led by one
pathetic but fully misguided agent of the invisible
forces that was quickly tamed and quarantined
by the forces of re-organised authority. Having
been frustrated in that angle, the forces obviously
regrouped and activated the alternative option of
restarting the Niger Delta militancy, again, under
the pretext of marginalisation.
They proceeded to launch treasonable sabotage
attacks on the economic lifeline of the country
and did not care that they were subjecting their
region to the more serious collateral impact of
environmental hardship. While speculations have
been rife on the evil project being the brainchild
of political sponsorship, no one saw the bombshell
coming that indeed elected and trusted officers of
state in charge of public funds would come
anywhere near sympathising with the diabolical
notion of the criminals in the creek.
Indeed, like me, many Nigerians are waiting and
hoping they will wake up soon from a deep sleep
and understand that the bombshell exploded by
Sahara Reporters was just a dream after all.
The yet-unrefuted Sahara Reporters report
contends that governors of the Niger Delta region
with the exception of Cross-River and Edo State
are presently in an open and brazen gang-up to
kill the war against corruption as it affects their
region by calling for the abandonment of
corruption charges against politicians from their
region. This is supposed to be in return for the
cessation of pipeline-bombing hostilities. In this
extremely outrageous ploy, it is yet unclear if they
enlisted the support of the only government
Minister so far perceived to be hardworking and
productive, or if this Minister – himself from the
region of the tamed trailblazing secessionist
agitators – has been a part of the criminal design
all along.
No surprise that the teeming majority of Nigerians
who voted for a clean-up of the system to reset
the button of decency, are now up in arms and
extremely infuriated. The blackmail that was
planned by these governors, who now stand
under the serious suspicion of at best
sympathising with the criminal activities of the
Niger Delta militants or at worst, having
sponsored them all along, seems predicated on
the obnoxious thought to fall back upon, that the
resources being from the Niger Delta justifies
corruption by politicians from that same region.
They, therefore, hold the belief that the state can
be legitimately blackmailed in this respect.
Many have been wondering why former President
Goodluck Jonathan in his abundance of wisdom
has so far failed to speak up on the atrocious acts
of his kinsmen. Now, there is a sense of knowing
why it has been so. Yet, a more intelligent
approach of openly disowning the rampaging
criminals, whether he sponsors them quietly or
not, would have been the least strategic move to
expect. It is reminiscent of the game that he
played in the run-up to the Presidential election of
2015. Even though all indications pointed to his
re-election ambition and efforts, he kept mute on
the issue for a very long time and even denied it
outright when confronted directly. On one
occasion, he was quoted as telling his
predecessor, Olusegun Obasanjo that “I have
never told anyone I wanted to run for re-election”.
With the bunch of pedestrian advisers
surrounding him, he will, sooner or later, end up
ostracising himself in the international
community, where the same people who have
been awarding him questionable democracy
prizes will begin to question his integrity and the
role he is playing in destabilising his country. Most
pathetic of all is the lack of constructive remorse
in the attitude of the former president under the
evidential yoke of consuming vices. With evidence
mounting by the day, of the unprecedented
monumental scale of corruption directly
coordinated by this former president, he still
nurses the hope of bullying his way out of the
stinking quagmire.
In his failure to learn from history, he is unable to
see what his presidential bullying has turned his
party (the PDP) into. He bullied his way into
presidential candidacy in the spirit of ‘having it
my way or the highway’. Denying his party, the
option of a strategically more qualified candidate,
he ran for re-election and lost woefully and today,
his party is in tatters. Again, he is trying the same
diabolical tactic using the Niger Delta as a
springboard. His pawns are the ganja-smoking
sons of Jah and militant-minded governors of
Nyesom Wike quality that were foisted on us by
allegedly compromised Supreme Court judges. In
the end, all signs are pointing to the fact that the
Niger Delta may as well be left in tatters like PDP
as a historical presidential souvenir. If the
meaning of “Goodluck” is to leave a trail of
disaster wherever the former president goes, I will
gleefully wish the Niger Delta good luck.
For now, though, the fury and outrage that the
so-called governors of the South-South plus Ibe
Kachikwu have triggered in the public should be
encouraging enough for President Muhammadu
Buhari to bring out the General in him pretty
quickly in spite of age-induced frailty. Indeed, in
the depth of my anger at this willful sabotage to
spite the aspirations of a nation for good
governance and a return to casual sanity, I would
have advised the president to summon an
emergency meeting of the Council of State to
declare the urgent need to arrest former
President Goodluck Jonathan there and there,
declare a State of Emergency in the rebel states
of the Niger Delta, arrest the governors and have
them tried for treason, and declare an all-out war
on the Niger Delta until the militants are wiped off
the face of the earth.
Unfortunately, though, anger does not solve
problems and innocent souls will bear the brunt.
No matter what happens, this is a battle that
Muhammadu Buhari must win by hook or by
crook. By defiance and doggedness! Without
surrendering, without retreating! No region in any
nation is ever granted a free ride to corruption –
golden egg or not. Nigeria will not be an
exception.
Every well-meaning Nigerian will now be best
advised to brace up for the impending revolution
to topple the forces that will not let Nigeria be. At
individual level and at the level of voluntary, non-
governmental organisations, the time is fast
approaching to seize the sceptre and grab the
bull by the horn. Preparations should start here
and now, to pick up the gauntlet and deny evil
forces the taste of victory. Nigeria must survive
and together, we will blow ‘em all up!

The Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, has berated
President Muhammadu
Buhari, saying he is not
mentally and physically ready
to rule Nigeria.
The opposition party which
took to its Face Book page
on Wednesday said the
President and his party, the
All Progressives Congress,
APC, have failed to actualise
most of their campaign
promises.
PDP recalled how the
President Muhammadu
Buhari-led party among many
other campaign promises in
2015 said it would make the
value of the naira equal US
dollar, stating that the
opposite has been the case,
one year after.
“The APC led government
under President Muhammadu
Buhari marked one year in
office on the 29th of May
2016, the questions on the
lips of every Nigerian are;
“What has Buhari/APC led
government achieved this
past one year? Has he
actually fulfilled any of his
campaign promises to
Nigerians.
“Are Nigerians savouring
the much talked about
CHANGE promised by the
government.
“Is Buhari mentally and
physically ready to provise a
purposeful leadership,” the
party queried.
