Politics / Press Release (coalition Of Concerned Citizens With Like Minds) by calyb247(m): 11:08pm On Aug 06, 2016
BEING A PRESS RELEASE BY THE TRIO OF, GLOBAL AWARENESS FOR DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE, VOLUNTEER AWARENESS NETWORK MOVEMENT AND COALITION FOR CHANGE INITIATIVE UNDER THE AUSPICES OF COALITION OF CONCERNED CITIZENS WITH LIKE MINDS ON THE ALLEGATION OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT AGAINST THREE NIGERIAN LEGISLATORS ON OFFICIAL ASSIGNMENT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

THEME: SEXUAL MISBEHAVIOR OR BRUTAL/RACIAL OPPRESSION

Respected Gentlemen, women and stakeholders of the press, our attention has been drawn to serious allegations/claims made by the United States Government through its ambassador to Nigeria, James Entwistle against three highly respected honorable members of the Federal House of Representative, Nigeria. In a 9th June petition addressed to the Speaker of the House, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, the ambassador allegedly accused these three lawmakers, Hon. Mark Terseer Gbillah (Gwer East/Gwer West, Benue State), Hon. Samuel Ikon (Etinam/Nsit Ibom/Nsit Ubium, Akwa Ibom State), and Hon. Mohammed Garba Gololo (Gamawa, Bauchi State), of committing what he termed ‘sexual misbehavior’.

Recall that, between the 7th to the 13th of April this year, ten honorable members were selected and subsequently invited by the United States Government to attend, the International Visitor Leadership Program on good governance, in Cleveland, Ohio. The US authorities claimed they received misconduct report from some employees of the Marriot hotel in Cleveland where the honorable members lodged. These horrible allegations were very explicit. Hear Mr Entwistle “Mohammed Gololo allegedly grabbed a housekeeper in his hotel room and solicited for sex. Mark Terseer and Samuel Ikon purportedly requested the hotel parking attendants assist them solicit prostitutes”. To further add salt to injury, the US mission in Nigeria hurriedly cancelled/revoked the visas issued to the lawmakers barring them from future trips to the United State. This is a gross misuse/abuse of power and a flagrant disregard of the rights/privileges of these lawmakers. Also, it is pertinent to note this very simple but hard truth; He who asserts must prove, meaning an accused stands innocent until proven/pronounced guilty and enjoys the benefit of any doubt. But even as we speak, the erstwhile US ambassador to Nigeria and also a runaway diplomat has failed to provide any evidence, or has he indicated any interest to present any corroborative proof to support his country’s spurious accusations against these highly esteemed lawmakers of our great nation.

Furthermore, the fact that the alleged misconduct occurred in April, but it took the US a whole month to petition the Speaker; a country which prides itself on its ability to give an accused person fair hearing and dispense quick justice, left a lot to be desired and clearly there is an ulterior motive. Why didn’t the US security agency confront these lawmakers with the allegation? In Hon. Mohammed Gololo’s case, how is it possible for him to attempt to rape a lady in his hotel room without the lady screaming? In a technologically advanced country like the US with its up-to-date CCTV cameras, why were video footages not presented as evidence against them? These and many unanswered questions have countered these accusations, making it false, speculative, a terrible blunder and a complete blackmail to malign/tarnish not just the good image of these legislators, but also the integrity of the Nigeria State among the league of nations. Ours is not a perfect society, but we would not blackmail any nation or its citizens without substantial evidence.

In view of the aforementioned, the personality, integrity and diplomatic competence of James Entwistle have been brought to disrepute, as he is nothing but a mere rubble-rouser and a reckless diplomat who is not fit to represent the US in Nigeria. He made these unfounded allegations without any shred of evidence. This is an affront to the National Assembly and a big mockery of our sensibility as a people. These are plain trumped up charges by certain individuals using their authoritative positions to gravely ridicule the good people of Nigeria and by extension, Africa. We also believe these are all part of a grand plan and concerted effort to project black people as having weak and loose morals. This is not the first embarrassment we have received from western countries, but this is one too many, and we vow to make it the last, as we will do everything within our powers and the confines of the law to put an end to this bullying attitude of this self acclaimed saints (USA).

People of the press and fellow Nigerians, it is against this backdrop and out of passion, love and concern for this great nation that we make bold to say, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”. A lawmaker anywhere in the world is a representative of his country everywhere he goes. This is the reason why we as proud Nigerians cannot sit and do nothing while our representatives are humiliated, defaced and unjustly accused of sexual misbehavior. A congressman in the United States is treated with utmost respect, and such a person will not accept any form of unjustified allegation against his/her personality especially by another country.

We as civil society groups in Nigeria who stand to uphold peace, equity, social justice and transparency are severely worried by the fact that Mr. James Entwistle who was the US ambassador to Nigeria breached protocol by writing a petition to the Speaker of the House of Representative, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, instead of writing to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama. The same James Entwistle, arrogantly rebuffed the National Assembly by turning down an invitation from the Federal House of Representatives. It is also confirmed that no evidence was tendered alongside the allegations, as the estranged
hotel employees have refused to testify to all the allegations they purportedly made. It is also very disheartening to know that the visas of these honorable representatives were revoked without giving them fair hearing.

We therefore call on members of the public, the press and every other well meaning countryman/woman to stand up against this show of disrespect to our lawmakers and by extension our great nation. We urge you all to remain calm and resolute as we MUST see to a fair conclusion of this matter.


Long live Civil Society Groups in Nigeria
Long live Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, and Benue states
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Thank you all

Science/Technology / Re: Help! Swarm Of Bees Around Residential Area by calyb247(m): 9:35pm On Jun 22, 2016
Explorers:
Do you beekeepers or farmer around you?


Swarming is the process by which a new honey bee colony is formed when the queen bee leaves the colony with a large group of worker bees. In the prime swarm, about 60% of the worker bees leave the original hive location with the old queen. This swarm can contain thousands to tens of thousands of bees.

How does this your google information help in disembarking these bees?
OP if its not too late already, get the kids to stay indoors, get a fire spray, the career should be well shielded and spray them away.

[quote author=nnachukz post=41730932]Now the world can hear this. It could have been better they kept quiet. Well I know they are not the one speaking but Buhari speaking through them. Please can someone remind me the name of the Grand Commander of the Federal Arm Forces? What they are saying is that they can come to your village and kill everybody at midnight, burn down your houses because some people from your village had a problem with them along the road. Even if they killed all of them at the spot, you are still not safe in your house for a case you know nothing about except belonging in the same community with the offenders. [/quote/]

if you like, try to paint it and give it a negative interpretation... What the GOC is saying is that any group, and i repeat, any group at all that threatens the peace of the nation is liable to "collect", be it IPOB or Shi'ite... So take note

Although I could change it in a day if I have done something very hectic that caused me to sweat excessively. She maintained that I change my Boxers on a daily basis.

Nairaland / General / My Experience At A Job Interview by calyb247(m): 6:01pm On Dec 01, 2015
Since my graduation from the university in 2010, i have been very busy growing my business (Janitorial services) so that i have had litlle or no time at all to attend job interviews, especially from private firms.
Then came this job opening which seemed a litlle bit too simple to apply for and i did (at my convinient time). Three days after i got a text informing me that i was shotlisted for the interview which was on a saturday. Fortunately for the recruiters, none of my clients was scheduled for that day so i got ready with my stuff and on the faithful day headed to the prescibed venue of the interview.

THE ARRIVAL: at the point of arrival, one could see the teeming applicants arriving from different directions with all seriousness, carrying all sorts and sizes of bags.
Some where looking more confused than fresh undergraduates. Some immidiately started looking for acquiantances to ask questions, some looking really timid and a feeling of inferiority written all over their faces, while some were looking really pompos and acting as if they had already got the job. Some were really confused as to the venue of the interview such that one would start to wonder if they if they were actually invited and briefed, or wether they are new in Makurdi.

THE WAITING: after we were screened to make sure that all of us were actually invited and there were no gate crashers, we were finally seated and waiting for our various turns of call. It was during this wait that my curiousity took over me and i started noticing the different categories of people among the crowd of applicants. I immediately started smiling to myself. I observed the following categories of people;
THE CLUELESS: These were the most striking of all. They seemed not to understand anything, even the sitting arrangement was confusing to them.
THE DESPERATE: This group of people must have job hunted for more than ten years and were not ready to loose another opportunity. They were more careful than necessary, almost acting like they could write the names of noise makers. They would give you a nasty look if you answered a call, thet would not even greet you back if you said Hi.. I made sure to give these ones their space.
THE CAREFREE: Should i say i fall under this category? This group of applicants were so free that one would wonder if they really needed the job or were just there to kill boredom. They answered calls freely, chatted freely, and even exchanged applications and games on their mobile devices and even discussed trending political, fashion and showbiz issues... Mostly BSU graduates..
THE NOTICE ME/PHONE FREAK: Hmmm, i think this group of people can be found even in heaven. What you first notice about them is their SIREN dressing and were mostly ladies, and even a few guys.. Pressing one phone to their ear with their shoulder while chatting with another one with their fingers and chewing gum at the same time, they walked in and out of the waiting room more than 20 times before their call. Headphones to the ears while hunming the tune of 'listen' by Beyonce.
THE TOASTERS: It seemed to me like these ones had made up their mind from home that even if they dont get the job, they will take a lady home. Any lady they saw was a potential loot.
THE INQUSITIVE: Almost like the clueless but a litlle bit open. They ask u practically everything that has to do with the interview, and would sometimes go as far as comparing you CV with theirs to be sure they did not make any mistake. They seemed to be the most annoying set to me.

Feel free to add if you had a similar experience and the type of people you came accross.
