Politics100,000 Nigerians Live Outside Nigeria As Refugees — US by chuksoyo21(op): 6:29pm On Feb 12, 2016
Lagos — The United States Assistant Secretary for African Affairs,
Ms Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said, yesterday, that about 100,000
Nigerians were currently living outside as refugees in neighbouring
countries.

This came on a day the Head of European Union delegation to
Nigeria and ECOWAS, Mr Michel Arrion, also said there were more
Nigerian nurses in Europe than in Nigeria.

Thomas-Greenfield, who announced this to journalists from across
Africa in a tele-press conference, said that Boko Haram attacks had
forced more than one million Nigerians out of their homes.
According to her, these people have serious concerns that urgently
need to be addressed.


“More than a million Nigerians have been forced from their homes.



Close to 100,000 Nigerians are living outside of Nigeria as refugees.
Thousands of families, ordinary people, have been impacted by Boko
Haram. And these people have serious concerns that urgently need to
be addressed,” she said.

The US envoy said her government had been working closely with
Nigeria and her neighbouring countries in addressing problem of
terrorism in the region.

Thomas-Linda said there was multifaceted effort in place to deal
with security issues as well as the root causes.

The U.S. representative in Africa also said that her government had
been working with and providing support for governments in the region
through the Multinational Joint Task Force.

She said: “We’re also working with governments to look at broad
economic development in the regions affected by Boko Haram by
encouraging businesses to invest in those areas. We are also working
with the governments to ensure that those who have been victims of
Boko Haram receive the assistance that they require to rebuild their
lives.”

More Nigerian nurses in Europe than in Nigeria
Meanwhile, Mr Michel Arrion, the Head of European Union Delegation
to Nigeria and ECOWAS, has said there were more Nigerian nurses in
Europe than in Nigeria.

Arrion told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja, yesterday,
that the health professionals would better serve to provide and deliver
social services to Nigeria.

He said that a situation where some Nigerians travel to European
countries and remained to work was not in the interest of the country.
He said: “You give visas to students and they study in Europe and stay
in Europe. No, please go back and develop your country. I think it is
very important. We must avoid what we call brain drain.

“I always take the example of the number of Nigerian nurses in
European hospitals. There are more Nigerian nurses in European
hospitals than in Nigeria. But of course, if they go back (to Europe),
if they send back money, that’s very good.

“They (Nigerians) should be better trained (in Europe) and come
back (to Nigeria) and better serve and provide and deliver social
services to their compatriots.”


9,000 Nigerian illegal migrants in Europe



Earlier, Arrion, in a statement said that Nigeria was an important
country of origin of regular and irregular migration to the EU and its
member-states.

According to him, many of them risk their lives and perish in the
Mediterranean. The EU official explained that there were almost
9,000 Nigerian illegal migrants in Europe in 2014.

He said: “In 2014, Nigerians accounted for an estimated 8,700 of the
283,532 irregular migrants entering EU borders, many of who risked
their lives crossing the Mediterranean.

“However, majority of Nigerians enter and reside in EU legally and
millions of Diaspora Nigerians are residing in the EU.

“As a regional economic power, Nigeria is also on the receiving end
of migration, attracting an estimated three million labour workers from
neighbouring countries. In the first half of 2015, Nigerian citizens
ranked ninth of all persons granted international protection in EU’s 28
member states.

“Nigerian nationals are the most numerous among non-European
victims of trafficking in human beings and they are also the most
numerous among traffickers.”
CrimeWe Are Not Criminals' Nigerians Tell Their President -BBC by chuksoyo21(op): 8:50pm On Feb 09, 2016
It's the home of the "419" scam - the infamous online swindle named
after a Nigerian anti-fraud law - and it's no secret that this country's
international reputation has been tainted by allegations of criminality.
But it's not something Nigerians expected to hear from the mouth of
their president himself, especially while he was on an official visit to
the
UK.
In an interview with the Telegraph newspaper, President Muhammadu
Buhari said that Nigerians abroad have "made it difficult for Europeans
and Americans to accept them because of the number of Nigerians in
prisons all over the world accused of drug trafficking or human
trafficking."
"We have an image problem abroad," he said. "And we are on our way
to
salvage that. We will encourage our countrymen to stay at home, work
hard and make a respectable living at home."
Nigerians reacted to his remarks by the thousand - with rage, humour
and
some insightful self-reflection too.
Opposition senator Ben Bruce-Murray was one of the first to respond,
urging people to get the hashtag #IamANigerianNotACriminal trending.
That hashtag rapidly evolved into the snappier
#NigeriansAreNotCriminals
which was used more than 35,000 times in a couple of days. There
were
a slew of tweets criticising the president for slandering the reputation
of
his own people.
And even more celebrating honest, hard-working Nigerians at home and
abroad.
Including some tweets from the president's political opponents.
It's a thorny issue for Nigerians living abroad who feel they sometimes
have to deal with stricter immigration checks and visa restrictions than
people from other parts of the world. And some who believe they face
heavier oversight and regulation when it comes to working in the
banking
and finance sectors because of their nationality.
Nigeria is in the middle of an economic crisis. Dropping oil prices mean
there is less money around for investment and the value of the naira is
falling rapidly.
Some people believe President Buhari's comments may make things
worse,
putting off investors from abroad at a time when the country really
needs
them.
And Nigerians feel that in many respects the reputation just isn't
justified.
According to UK police statistics, shared by Senator Murray-Bruce,
Nigerians in the UK have faced fewer arrests than immigrants from
other,
smaller European countries.
Despite the backlash, there was some support for what President
Buhari
said. The president has a reputation for plain speaking. He was
voted into power last year , in a mostly fair election, on a
platform of fighting corruption. As an army general in 1984 Buhari
overthrew a civilian government, replacing it with a military
dictatorship
and made a promise to stamp out "indiscipline". He was overthrown not
long after. But his reputation survived.
This latest controversy has given Nigerian politicians a chance to do on
social media what they do best, slinging insults and abuse at each
other -
as one tweeter shrewdly pointed out in this, a 'tale of two tweets'.
Some are calling this a gaffe but so far the president has made no
effort to backtrack on what he said.

HealthProfessor Says Yorubas Are Immune To Lassa Fever Virus by chuksoyo21(op): 7:19am On Feb 09, 2016
News reports have revealed that a university lecturer has claimed that Yoruba people are immune to the Lassa virus which causes Lassa fever.

Prof. Christian Happi , the researcher, who is also the Dean,
College of Postgraduate Studies, Department of Biological Sciences,
Redeemer’s University, Ede, Osun State, revealed that the research was
still ongoing and the reason for the immunity is yet to be discovered.
Prof. Happi also added that the few cases of Lassa fever recorded
among Yoruba people are “imported.”

The National Mirror reports that Prof. Happi, who is also
Director, World Funded African Centre of Excellence for Genomics of
Infectious Diseases, ACEGID, had also revealed that the Lassa fever
virus had originated from Nigeria about 1,060 years ago.

Prof. Happi also stressed that the Yorubas have the capacity to resist
the virus more than any other ethnic group in Nigeria.

Speaking on new research findings, Prof Happi went on to say that it
had been discovered that Ribavirin which is currently being used in the
treatment of lassa fever had not been designed for the disease.

He added that the drug would only be effective if administered during
the early phase of the infection.

PoliticsNorth Will Never Discover Oil In Chad Basin – Shehu Sani by chuksoyo21(op): 7:35pm On Feb 08, 2016
KADUNA – The north will never discover oil in the Chad basin of Nigeria even after it has wasted $3 billion, approximately (N900 billion) in oil exploration in the basin, said Senator Shehu Sani, Chairman, Senate Committee on foreign and domestic debts.

Sani, made the above affirmation Monday when members of Kaduna State Students Union paid him a courtesy call in his Kaduna office.

This in variance with the position of the Chairman, of the Northern Nigeria Development Company, (NNDC) Alhaji Bashir Dalhatu, who had said last year NNDC would commence the exploration of oil and gas in the said basin and the upper Benue trough.

Said Sani: “Oil exploration in the north has been carried out back to days far beyond that of former President Jonathan Goodluck.

I am calling on President Mohamadu Buhari to order a probe into this questionable search for oil. Past leaders have amassed wealth through this venture, and I want the president to investigate this.

“If we cannot fine oil, we must get our money back because so far over $3 billion US Dollars had been wasted on oil exploration in the north, particularly in the Chad Basin and Benue trough.

PoliticsNigerians Deserve Truth About Buhari’s Sudden Vacation – Fayose by chuksoyo21(op): 7:45pm On Feb 07, 2016
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, on Sunday, said that the statement issued by the Presidency on President Muhammadu Buhari’s sudden vacation was vague, saying, “Nigerians deserve to know the truth about their President because the President is an open book that every Nigerians should be free to read.”

The governor, who said he was aware of the high-wire plot to use the Supreme Court to upturn his electoral victory, insisted that nothing will stop him from speaking the truth concerning issues in the country.

He said it was suspicious that a president, who told Nigerians that he was embarking on official visit to France and Britain, last Tuesday, would suddenly commence a five-day vacation while still in the United Kingdom.

In a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor, who prayed for safe return of the President, said “Nigerians deserve to know where exactly their president is spending his vacation.”

He however commended the President for handing over to the Vice President as stipulated by the Constitution of the country.

He said; “We were told last Tuesday, that Mr President was travelling to France and from there to London to attend the Syria Donor Conference, and that he would return to Nigeria this weekend.

“All of a sudden, we were told that the President was embarking on a five-day vacation. Where and why? We were not told.

“Curiously, it was at this same period, last year that President Buhari, who was at that time the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, disappeared from public, with lies told about him granting interviews in London.

“It is therefore important that in future, the presidency should be more explicit in communicating with Nigerians on issues regarding the President because a nation’s president is an open book that can be read by anyone.”

PoliticsWe'll Rescue Chibok Girls Alive - President Assures by chuksoyo21(op): 12:40am On Feb 04, 2016
President Muhammadu Buhari reiterated that the rescue of the
more than 200 abducted Chibok girls is a top priority of his
government.
The President stated this on Wednesday in his speech at the parliament
of the European Union in Strasbourg, France.
Buhari said his promise to the parents of the abducted girls was that
they would be rescued alive, stressing that he remained committed to
that pledge.
He said, “It may interest you to know that in a recent
meeting I had with parents of the Chibok Girls, I
assured them that government would not rest until all
the girls are rescued alive and reunited with their
families.
“I remain fully committed to this pledge.
“Since my assumption of office in May last year, we
have re-organised the Nigerian Armed Forces and
repositioned them to deal decisively with the Boko
Haram terrorists.
“Indeed, all the Local Government Areas that were
hitherto under the control of the Boko Haram
terrorists in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States in the
North-Eastern flank of Nigeria, have been recaptured.
“The Internally Displaced Persons are gradually
returning to their communities. The Federal
Government is committed to rebuilding schools,
hospitals and other vital infrastructure destroyed by
the fleeing terrorists.
“Currently, the activities of Boko Haram have been
reduced to the Sambisa Forest and their capacity to
launch major offensives has been degraded.
”Boko Haram has now resorted to attacking soft
targets such as markets, mosques and churches using
innocent under-aged hapless children to detonate
locally made Improvised Explosive Devices.”
On April 14-15 2014, 276 female students were kidnapped from the
Government Secondary School in Chibok town, Borno State by
dangerous sect, Boko Haram.
Efforts of the military and the government have not yielded any positive
result since the kidnapping, and according to multiple reports, the
whereabouts of the girls are still unknown.
It is believed that the terrorists forced the girls into marriage and
scattered them across neighbouring Nigerian countries - Cameroon ,
Chad , Benin .

FashionRe: Made In Biafra Shoe Spotted In A Lagos Market by chuksoyo21(m): 2:34pm On Feb 03, 2016
pharmagba:
although I can never support biafra, I think it a good idea if the shoes were actually manufactured in Nigeria,
As a business man and a product development and sales expert, I feel the manufactures have shot themselves in the foot by writing Biafra. With that the shoe will never be accepted by all and can never reach it full market potential, hence one of the objective of business profit and growth will be lost also loss may occur to any investor.
I'll rather suggest they write made in Nigeria for now, and keep the biafra to their chest yet, with this they get backing even fed govt and even opportunity to export abroad, then even if biafra comes, which I strongly doubts, they already have a market and a brand which they can ride upon.
Look for instance it has to be taken to Lagos, that is to tell you people not in support of biafra will reject it. Same will happen in Kano and other places not favored to biafra.
U mean a product that has penetrated the Lagos market across the niger has not gotten a full market potential yet?
Of a truth, that product U see has gotten across major African markets.
CrimeNIS Deports 6 British Citizens by chuksoyo21(op): 5:38am On Feb 03, 2016
The Comptroller-General, Martins Kure-Abeshi
said this in a meeting with the House of
Representatives Committee on Interior.
24/7 Live - Subscribe to the Pulse Newsletter!

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has deported 6
British citizens for violation of immigration law.
This was revealed to newsmen by the Comptroller-General of the NIS,
Mr. Martins Kure-Abeshi, in a meeting with the House
of Representatives Committee on Interior.
Abeshi said “I just arrived from abroad yesterday
(Monday) and met this case.
“As I am talking, yesterday in the evening, the
company that employed those expatriates, after my
discussion with them, they are to be responsible for
their air tickets.
“As I am talking now, I am sure they have been flown
out."

Adding that “It is against the law of the land. So their
first employer complained about these expatriates, so
it is an offence they have committed and we have
ordered their deportation.

“When we conduct our operation and discover that
someone who is not a Nigerian is living in this country
illegally, he will be repatriated. That is on our own
part, they have to go.”

“There is another another angle to it. If he is a worker,
working in a company and we discover that he does
not have papers to stay in this country, he has
committed an offence against the state, the company
that the expatriate is working will give us money, buy
ticket or whatever is their responsibility.
“Before anybody takes an appointment here as an
expatriate, the organisation will write to immigration
that they are taking immigration responsibility for that
expatriate.

“If that expatriate commits any offence against the
company and they want to remove him, that company
must provide ticket so that the person is removed
from this country,” the NIS boss said.

CrimeCultists Lay Siege To Ubima, Amaechi’s Town by chuksoyo21(op): 1:30am On Feb 02, 2016
UBIMA—TWO cult gangs, Icelanders and Deygbam, allegedly fighting a political superiority battle have turned Ubima community in Ikwerre Local Government Area, Rivers State, the country home of Minister of Transport, Rt. Hon Rotimi Amaechi and his relative, Sir Celestine Omehia, both former governors of the state into a battleground. In one of the gory encounters, fear gripped the entire community after one of the cult groups killed about three suspected members of a rival cult.

A number of chiefs and elders have fled the community and taken refuge in neighboring towns because of the atmosphere of insecurity in the town. The boys, who are on the prowl, monitor movements in and out of the community and harass any visitors to the community.



Disappearance with corpse

Penultimate week, a boy visiting the community was intercepted at the boundary between Apani community and Ubima was shot dead and his corpse taken away. Contacted for comments, chiefs in the community declined because of fear of the rampaging cultists dispatching them to the grave in an untimely manner.

Cult leader, Morocco beheaded

Findings by Niger Delta Voice showed that in second week of January, the Iceland cult group invaded the community and killed the leader of Deygbam group, Mr. Morocco, sparking apprehension in the community. One of the cult leaders who pleaded anonymity boasted, “We beheaded Morocco because he declared himself as point- one (leader) we separated his head from his body just to let him know that he is nothing. There are men who own this town and not Morocco.”

A community leader, who pleaded anonymity, said the rival group beheaded after both groups engaged in never-ending exchange of gunfire for hours. The chief said the battle was a continuation of an earlier clash in the same community that claimed the life of over six members of the Icelander cult group. He said that the Icelanders cult wrote the community and the Degbam cult group that they would avenge the death of their members with 50 heads. The chief said that the community is in confusion, adding that their two well-placed sons have not done anything to bring the situation under control.

Ubima turned to ‘slaughter headquarters’

A troubled group in the area, Ikwerre Citizens for Democratic Movement, ICDM, expressed concern over the recurrent cult war and killings in Ubima community. Speaking, the leader of the group Mr. Precious Dikewoha, said it was unheard of that the Ubima community would serve as battle ground for cult groups. He claimed that the cult was politically motivated.

Dikewoha said: “Our attention has been drawn to the political cult supremacy battle and killing that has turned Ubima community into a headquarters for human slaughter. Over eight young and vibrant sons of the community have been murdered; some buried others yet to be buried while few others are missing. “We cannot afford to sit on the fence and watch our youths slaughter themselves like animals.

Problem created by political class!

The group also warned: “We resolved that Ubima cannot shy a way from dealing with the problem which the political class has created in the community. We must accept responsibility and initiate plans to reconcile the differences among the youths. “The crises in Ubima community has degenerated from bad to worse to the extent that most of our brothers and sisters, including the prominent ones among us could not return home during the Christmas and New Year celebrations.

“We hereby call on the PDP and APC members in the community, including their leaders- the Minister of Transport, Mr. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and former governor, Sir Celestine Omehia, to see themselves as sons of Ubima community, not as politicians and immediately address the issue confronting us.

2 weeks ultimatum to summon Amaechi, Omehia

“We are giving two weeks ultimatum to the council of chiefs, the CDC to officially write or brief to Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and Sir Celestine Omehia and also invite other sons and daughters of the community to discuss the end of this bloodshed and bring peace back to the community or have us to contend with. The group called on the Inspector General of Police to invite Sir Celestine Omehia and Rotimi Amaechi over their silence to address the war in their community.



Peace has returned – Police

Strangely, the Rivers State Police Command said normalcy had returned in the community.

FamilyI’m The Only Legal Wife Of Ojukwu, Bianca Tells Court by chuksoyo21(op): 1:09am On Feb 02, 2016
Lagos—The trial in the ongoing legal battle between the widow of the late Ikemba of Nnewi, Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu, Bianca Ojukwu and his brothers over the family estate commenced yesterday before a Lagos state High Court sitting at Igbosere.
Mrs Ojukwu in her evidence in chief before Justice Abdulfattah Lawal, admitted that neither her nor her children are shareholders or directors in Ojukwu Transport Limited, OTL.

She also admitted that Ojukwu has eight children which includes the claimants, Afamefuna and Nwachukwu, adding that she is the only one that was legally married among Ojukwu’s wives, as she engaged in court, Church and traditional marriage.

Bianca, under cross examination also told the court that the suit that was filed before the court is only for the right of her children and not other children of Ojukwu.

The witness further informed the court that some of the OTL properties in question had been in the possession of her late husband before his demise, adding that the rent of those properties were being collected by her husband.

Mrs. Ojukwu had on behalf of her two under-aged children, Afamefuna and Nwachukwu (claimants) dragged Ojukwu Transport Limited, OTL, and seven others before a Lagos State High Court sitting in Igbosere over an alleged move by the family to eject her sons from the company’s properties located in Lagos.

She had asked the court to declare that her children are entitled to the possession and occupation of one of the properties known as No 29 Oyinkan Abayomi Street, Ikoyi Lagos until the harmonisation of the management and administration of the assets of the first defendant, OTL.

The defendants in the suit are: Prof Joseph Ojukwu, Engr. Emmanuel Ojukwu; Lotanna Putalora Ojukwu; Dr Patrick Ojukwu; Arch. Edward Ojukwu; Lota Akajiora Ojukwu and Mrs Massey Udegbe (doing business under Massey Udegbe & Company).

In the suit, Bianca, and her two children, had in their statement of claim, prayed the court to declare that the threat of forceful ejection from 29 Oyinkan Abayomi Street by the defendants is illegal.

She is also asking the court for a declaration that her children are entitled to possess the following property, namely: No. 13 Hawksworth Road, Ikoyi (now known as No. 13 Ojora Road; No. 32A Commercial Avenue, Yaba, Lagos; No. 30 Gerard Road, Ikoyi, Lagos and No. 30 McPherson Avenue, Ikoyi.

According to her, the properties were under the possession of late Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu, the father of the claimants from the time the properties were released from government acquisition till date.

The claimants stated that throughout the period their father was struggling to retrieve the properties from the government, the second to seventh defendants “never played any role in the struggle nor contributed financially or otherwise to the realisation of the struggle.”

However, the judge adjourned the matter till today, for continuation of cross examination of Bianca.

SportsKeshi Has A Grudge Against Us – Bafana Bafana Coach by chuksoyo21(op): 2:08am On Sep 10, 2014
South African coach, Ephraim ‘Shakes’ Mashaba
has claimed that Super Eagles coach, Stephen
Keshi was aiming to beat the Bafana Bafana in
today’s African Nations Cup qualifier, just to prove
a point after he was snubbed by South Africa
Football Association(SAFA) for their national
coaching job.
Keshi and Portuguese-born coach Carlos Queiroz
were front runners for the South African job. But
even when Queiroz opted out Keshi was never
considered, Mashaba was appointed.
“Coach Keshi is going to fight. This is because he
believes he should have been coach of the South
African team. He is going to try to use all his
psychological tactics to make sure that all his
players follow his instructions,” Mashaba said
“The match could be a defining moment – it is
time to kick this habit of losing to Nigeria,” said
the 64-year-old who was promoted last month
from national youth team coach to the Bafana
Bafana job.
“Bafana have become a laughing stock and our
duty is to restore pride in the national team.
Winning in Sudan was the start of a rebuilding
process.”
Mashaba also pleaded with South African fans to
come out in their numbers to cheer the Bafana
Bafana to victory.
The South Africans have never beaten Nigeria in
any competitive match for 22 years. Boosted by
their generous win over Sudan in Khartoum, they
are hoping to outscore the Super Eagles who are
desperately seeking for a win, after they
succumbed to Congo-Brazzaville in Calabar 3-2.

PoliticsBoko Haram: FG Denies Hiring Davis As Negotiator by chuksoyo21(op): 4:41am On Sep 06, 2014
The Federal Government has denied hiring
Australia’s Stephen Davis as a Boko Haram
negotiator.
The Coordinator of the National Information Centre,
Mike Omeri, who disclosed government’s position
on the issue in Abuja on Friday, said the
government has no plan of prosecuting any
Nigerian for now following the allegations made by
the Australian.
Davis has insisted that former governor of Borno
State, Ali Modu Sheriff and former Chief of Army
Staff, Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika are Boko Haram
sponsors.
He also mentioned an unnamed senior official of
the Central Bank of Nigeria and an Egypt-based
man as those funding the sect.
Davis, who refused to disclose the identity of the
CBN official, said his allegations were informed by
discussions he had with several Boko Haram field
commanders.
But Omeri insisted that government has not hired
anybody to negotiate on its behalf with the Boko
Haram.
“For now nobody has been hired by the
government to negotiate on its behalf with Boko
Haram. Anytime the government decides to do so,
it will make it known to the public.
“The government is still investigating the
allegations made by the alleged negotiator.
However, the government has no plan to question
anybody because of those allegations made by the
Australian,” he stated.

In the case of liability, the bank owes its customer a legal duty to protect him or her within the banking hall for his transaction.
If noticed are openly given about cars being parked at owner's risk why nt the same for robbed cash in the banking hall?
Once u are in a banking hall for cash lodgment or u just withdrew cash, u have the right to protection of urself and ur cash. Ur business ends when u leave the bank premises!

How can I do without my wonderful phone. The day I decided to do away with my phone for a day, I really felt that something was not complete through out that day. It wasn't easy...
So to my fellow nairalanders that are also phone freaks like me, let's rub minds and share your wonderful moments with your phone and why you can't do without it for a day...









I was contemplating on saying this but If I don't say it God will take me for an ingrate which am not.
Right here on my knees!! I jst wanna say baba ooo esheeeeeeeee 2x . My topic made fp under 20 mins which is my best feat on nairaland so far!!! I kno am getting there day by day. Very soon I will be sitting with the likes of oga seungrin and discussing who we are to ban, wich topic to make fp nd d mods we are gonna sack!!!! grin . I thank my fada,moda,siblings nd frds dat has supported me truout my hustling and bustling on nairaland. This is not my doing bt baba God... Peace out!!

Baba419: Am dissapointed, some of you are here shouting see meat when a beautiful wildlife specimen is being killed for nothing. Thats like an african rock python and by the size it is as old as its killers, illiteracy will kill us before we know.

"And i will put enmity between thee and the woman, and betwn thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel" (gen 3:14-15)

PoliticsRe: Obasanjo To Jonathan: ‘Keep Your Reply, Save Nigeria!’ by chuksoyo21(m): 4:23am On Dec 16, 2013
I read in the 18 paged letter to GEJ by OBJ that:
1 ) Jonathan had a one term agreement with Obasanjo b4 he was giving the opportunity to contest in 2011.
2) Goodluck, with his body language has compromised the agreement, as a result, jonathan has no trust and cant stand on his word.
My question, what moral justification has Obj got to forward such letter? It is knwn that he defiled his son's wife. He also had agreement to hand over to atiku after his second tenure in 2007, did he? Rather he went around lobbying for third tenure considering the fact that he was military head of state for 3yrs. What a greedy fellow.
And now he has the animal boldness to come out openly to talk about honesty! I knw he's sicking relevance and ranting. But, he has failed this time. The masses are nw more politically consciouse.
The handsome Ape should go back to his otta farm. Thats where he belongs. His opinions are nt needed in the open!
