PoliticsIs Dasuki's Right Better Than Thousands Of Dead Nigerians' Lives by collinspro(op): 2:00pm On Jan 04, 2016
Much have been said about Dasuki's fundamental human right, Buhari's disregard to the judiciary and law blah! blah! blah!. Nobody among these people said anything about the 'fundamental human wrongs' committed by this man and his cohorts. Are we saying that Dasuki's right is more important than the death of thousands of civilians and soldiers that died due to the actions and inaction of this man and his associates, or is it the rape and torture that civilians and army have gone through?
Would Dasuki be granted bail in the first place in China,Singapore, Malaysia, UAE etc if he committed the same offence there? These countries were hitherto less developed than Nigeria a few years back. Can you imagine how many Nigerians would jump at the opportunity to live in any of these countries now?
The judicial system in Nigeria is fake and condone corrupt practices. Why won't I steal billions when I know I can easily get bail and go for plea bargain, or worst, two years imprisonment. Remember the James Ibori case in Nigeria? OK. Where is Lucky Igbinedion and Peter Odili of this world? They are cooling off enjoying their loots, thanks to Nigeria judiciary. Now tell me anywhere in the world such people will Scott free.
I think we need change and total overhaul of our judiciary and minds. I am not saying fundamental human right should be jettisoned, but definitely not for Dasuki and his likes. Nigeria would be great today if all these atrocities were not pardoned or patted at the back. I rest my case for now.
CareerSleep With Me Or I Fire You - My Female Boss. by collinspro(op): 7:45am On Nov 20, 2015
I am messed up right now and I need your advice. I work in a company where I report directly to a lady. My woe started when I went to her office one day to pick up a file. As I entered her office, my phone rang so I decided to take the call. The call was a bit long so she decided to get the file for me from one of the file cabinets. As she bent for the bottom drawer her skirt tore terribly exposing her panties. The phone almost dropped from my hand. I tried to hurry out of the office but she called me back to help her go across the street to stitch it. I was almost frozen. Ever since then she has been disturbing me to sleep with her.

She said she gave me the job because she love me. I just got married and don't want to cheat. Yesterday, she called me and and dropped the bombshell " if you don't sleep with me I will fire you". What do I do? I don't want to lose that job. I am considering reporting her to my general manager but I am afraid of the consequence.
CrimeLord Chosen Pastor Jailed 30 Years For Cocaine Smuggling by collinspro(op): 5:22am On Nov 14, 2015
A Nigerian pastor, one Mr Chukwudi Okechukwu, who preaches in Tanzania, under the umbrella of the Lord Chosen Church of Nigeria, has reportedly bagged a 30-year jail term after being convicted of smuggling cocaine worth Sh3.1 billion. According to reports, Okechukwu, who Anti- narcotics police allegedly believe is one of the top members of a drug syndicate operating in Tanzania, Nigeria and South Africa, was jailed alongside a South African, one Stan Hycent and Pakistani Shoaib Mohammad Ayazi over the same offence. High Court Judge, Amir Mruma, reports say has ordered the accused to pay Sh9 billion in fines. pass He and his three accomplices were reportedly hiding in a mansion in Dar es Salaam’s Kuduchi Mtongani suburbs when the police allegedly surrounded the house and arrested them. Anti-narcotics police had received information about foreigners who were planning to smuggle into the country a huge quantity of cocaine and store it in a house in Kunduchi Mtongani. However, a surveillance team led by head of Anti-Drugs Unit, ADU, Godfrey Nzowa, was deployed to keep an eye on the mansion that the preacher and his accomplices had rented. The team had purportedly knocked on the front gate in their bid to arrest the suspected drug dealers. Soon after the police knocked on the gate and introduced themselves, reports further revealed that the four suspects started running around the house in apparent fear and panic. There was an alleged cat-and-mouse chase drama inside the compound as the police tried to get hold of one of the suspects as he was attempting to jump over the fence. Three suspects were arrested inside the house. The Nigerian suspect was reportedly the only one who managed to jump over the wall but was arrested after a chase by the police. Upon searching the house, anti-drugs police allegedly seized 81 packets of drugs which were later confirmed by a Chief Government chemist to be cocaine hydrochloride. However, intelligence report revealed he visited Tanzania some years back and had made a name for himself as a pastor at his ‘Kinondoni Biafra’ church and won many followers. The head of Anti-Drugs Unit, Nzowa, reportedly described their jailing as ‘another great achievement’ in Tanzania’s efforts to fight drug trafficking. “Unlike a gun or pistol which kills people instantly, drugs are killing the young generation slowly. If we are not aggressive in fighting the illicit trade we may find ourselves losing the young generation,” he said. Nzowa also added that drug business was a threat to national security especially when foreigners are left to operate in the country. “The jailing of the Nigerian pastor and his co- conspirators brought to three, the number of high profile drug cases that have been heard and determined by the High Court in the space of three months. “Early in September, the same court sentenced to 20 years a young Tanzanian, Fred William Chonde, to 20 years in jail after it found him guilty of possessing 180kg worth Sh 5.2 billion and ordered him to pay a Sh 15 billion fine,” Nzowa noted. “Again last month, the court sentenced a businessman, Kadiria Saidi Kimaro, who attempted to smuggle 91 heroin capsules that he had swallowed, through Julius Nyerere International Airport, JNIA, to 20 years in jail. He was also ordered to pay Sh122 million in fine.” Nzowa further noted that the speed with which the Judiciary hears and determined the drug cases has renewed hopes by anti-drugs campaigners who had accused courts of mishandling drug cases. “There has been a concern that the way court handled drug trafficking cases might make it easy for the convicts to later secure freedom or bail in what could be viewed as disregard of the law,” he noted. “Corruption and influence peddling by highly placed individuals have been cited as one factor that frustrates the war against traffickers.” However, the judiciary has repeatedly defended itself over the accusations, saying shoddy police investigations and poor prosecution were to blame for the circumstance.

NYSCNYSC Detects Fake Certificate by collinspro(op): 5:11am On Nov 14, 2015
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), on Friday, said it had detected fake certificates alleged to be issued by its office and called on employers of labour to always verify certificates to ascertain their authenticity . NYSC Alhaji Hudu Taura, Director, Certification, NYSC said this while addressing newsmen in Abuja. He said that the verification measure became imperative in order to curb activities of fraudsters who issue fake certificates. According to Taura, NYSC recently launched a new certificate which carries the passport of the corps members with some other security fixtures added to upgrade it. He said that the organisation detected 17 fake certificates of exemption when the management of the Guaranty Trust Bank (GBT) brought some certificates of their employees to NYSC for verification. He said the owners of those certificates were invited to come for proper verification but out of the 17 invited only seven responded. He said out of the seven only four culprits were being presented because three of them absconded. Taura said that they confessed to have paid certain amounts to some fake NYSC staff to get the certificate. He said their statements had been compiled and would be passed to security agents to take the appropriate action to arraign them in court. “We invited the owners of those certificates to come because that is what we normally do whenever we doubt any certificate; but out of the 17 invited only seven showed up. “We verified their certificates and took their statement, because it was discovered that they were fake; as they were not issued by us and they confessed that they got them from some other sources. “We are appealing to all employers of labour to bring the certificates that are said to be issued by NYSC for verification anytime they are employing to ascertain its genuiness. “They can also bring those of their old employees working with them too. This is to help us curb the activities of fraudsters. ‘No NYSC staff was involved in the scam because the name and account number of the so called staff was mentioned and he is not a staff.” Taura said that some of the paraded people went as far as paying from N40 ,000 ,N45,000 up to N50,000 to get the fake certificate of exemption. He urged the media to also help in sensitising the public on the activities of scammers to enable NYSC fish out all those involved and also stop people from falling victims. Speaking, some of the culprits told newsmen that they were innocent of the allegation as they were ignorantly misled by their school coordinators to pay money for certificate of exemption. Mr Olatunde Abolorin said he paid N25 .000 after his graduation for the certificate as cajoled by his course coordinator in 2010 and was called after six months for his certificate. He said he came to NYSC office as called because he wanted to ascertain the authenticity of his certificate only to discover that it was fake. Mr Akan Macaulay and Mr Yusuf Adekunle said they were asked to write their names if they were interested in getting certificate of exemption which they did and paid for without knowing it was fake. They appealed to NYSC to assist them to pin down the fake NYSC official adding that they have documents carrying his name and address. Source: PM news
PoliticsParis Terrorist Attack Leaves Over 120 Dead by collinspro(op): 5:02am On Nov 14, 2015

PoliticsWhy PDP is Losing Cases In Election Petition Tribunal - Vanguard by collinspro(op): 3:20pm On Nov 10, 2015
By SIMON EBEGBULEM
BENIN CITY-SPECIAL Adviser to the Edo State
Governor on Political Matters, Chief Charles
Idahosa says the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) held the instrument of rigging elections
in the country since 1999, saying therefore
that the party’s persistent attack on the
judiciary and the Presidency over tribunal
rulings were uncalled for.
According to him, “President Muhammadu
Buhari was not President when the
Governorship election Tribunal annulled PDP
elections in Ekiti, Ondo and Edo states, so
why are they blaming the Presidency for
Tribunal rulings which has been going against
them now. Some of us who are veteran
politicians, who were even members of the
PDP from the formation days are always
surprise when we read papers and see the
leadership of the PDP accusing the
Presidency of meddling into tribunal
judgments.
“The PDP should realize that since 1999, the
instrument of rigging elections has been in
their hands and not in the hands of the APC
or Buhari. PDP leaders appointed most of the
INEC Commissioners whom they use to
perpetrate evil during elections and they tried
it in Edo in 2007, when Governor Oshiomhole’s
mandate was stolen and the court came to
the rescue.
“ PDP has never believed in a free and fair
election and some of us who were there
before knew that. Can they also blame Buhari
of their penchant for imposition of candidates
by their god fathers and that is why we have
cases where by their candidates emerge not
through primaries and the courts cannot close
its eyes to such electoral malpractice”.
The leader of the All Progressives congress
(APC) in Edo state further stated that “the
PDP has nothing any more to offer, their only
tactics now is to see if they can rubbish
President Buhari before the international
community which is not possible because the
world knows the destruction PDP had caused
in their 16 years in power in the country. So
this their penchant of accusing Buhari each
time their lose in court is not only stupid and
sickening but complete failure on their part”.

Christianity EtcBeware Of Tithe Collectors. By Femi Aribisala by collinspro(op): 7:57pm On Oct 04, 2015
Don’t allow pastors who don’t understand the ways of God to continue to deceive you. God is no respecter of “tithers.” John says: “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.” (1 John 4:18). Therefore, Christians should resist any attempt by anyone to scare them into doing anything pertaining to the righteousness of God. That is precisely what mercenary pastors do in order to arm-twist Christians to pay tithes; a requirement now inapplicable under the New Testament. Threat of curses If you are one of those with a money-minded pastor, he will call you a thief for failing to pay tithes and insist you are cursed. The legal authority for this predicament comes from Malachi: “Will a man rob God? Surely not! And yet you have robbed me. ‘What do you mean? When did we ever rob you?’ ‘You have robbed me of the tithes and offerings due to me. And so the awesome curse of God is cursing you, for your whole nation has been robbing me.’” (Malachi 3:8-9). The truth, however, is that this scripture has no application whatsoever to Christians. Malachi’s invective was addressed to Old Testament priests and not even their congregation. Today’s pastors are experts at double-speak. They quote Paul: “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law.” (Galatians 3:13). Then they use Malachi to curse the redeemed in order to squeeze money out of them. Believers are blessed: “with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places in Christ.” (Ephesians 1:3). These blessings are not conditional upon the payment of tithes but attendant on our faith in Christ and adherence to his teachings. God would never curse a Christian whom he has already blessed. When Balaam was offered money to curse the children of Israel, he replied: “God has blessed them, and I cannot reverse it! No curse can be placed on Jacob, and no magic shall be done against him.” (Numbers 23:18/23). God said to Abraham: “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you.” (Genesis 12:3). Christians are the seed and heirs of God’s promise to Abraham. (Galatians 3:29). Therefore, any pastor who curses a Christian is only cursing himself. Scourge of the devourer Pastors further seek to manipulate Christians by saying, if you do not pay your tithe, God will unleash the devourer on you. (Malachi 3:11). This means you will be confronted with all kinds of unnecessary expenditure that will continually drain away your finances. Accordingly, Bishop David Oyedepo writes that rats ate all the cables in the car of a woman in his church. When she had the car re-wired, the rats ate the cables again. On investigation, it was discovered she had not been paying her tithes, which was why the devouring rats had been unleashed on her. Once she started paying her tithes dutifully again, the rat-attacks stopped. Stories like this are commonplace in the churches and they are pure balderdash. It is amazing how far pastors will go in order to fleece their flock. Bishop Oyedepo says the offending rats in question were not ordinary rats but “devourer rats.” However, he fails to tell us how to differentiate between the one and the other, in case we come across any rats. Suffice to say that such stories are manipulative. They are only designed to scare people into paying tithes. I don’t pay tithes and I don’t have rats of any kind in my car or in my house. Answer me this: do bad things only happen to those who don’t pay tithes? Indeed, do bad things only happen to unbelievers? The answer is emphatically “No.” As a matter of fact, the truth is that in this world, worse things actually happen to believers than to unbelievers. The psalmist declares: “Many are the afflictions of the righteous.” (Psalm 34:19). According to Jesus, in this world the believer is appointed to problems. He says to his disciples: “These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33). Tribulation, it should be pointed out, does not connote prosperity. Bait of showers of blessings Having used these scare-tactics to manipulate the gullible into paying tithes, many pastors then employ the promise of blessings as additional inducement. They say if you pay your tithes, God will open the windows of heaven for you and pour out a blessing so great there would not be enough room to contain it. (Malachi 3:10). But let me ask a question here tongue-in- cheek. Have you actually discovered that Christians are any richer than non-Christians, after all only Christians pay tithes? Pastor Adeboye claims to be richer than Bill Gates because he allegedly has houses in 188 countries. However, even if each of Adeboye’s putative 188 houses were to cost one million dollars, it would still not make him a billionaire. However, Bill Gates is not worth 188 million dollars: he is worth 76 billion dollars; making him truly the richest man in the world. Nevertheless, Bill Gates is an agnostic, in spite of his Catholic background. He does not pay tithes to any church or pastor. Don’t believe the lie. People don’t get rich from paying tithes. They don’t even get rich from being righteous. Take another look at this kingdom dynamic: “The truth is that the wicked live on to a good old age and become great and powerful. They live to see their children grow to maturity around them, and their grandchildren too. Their homes are safe from every fear, and God does not punish them. Their cattle are productive, they have many happy children, they spend their time singing and dancing. They are wealthy and need deny themselves nothing; they are prosperous to the end. All this despite the fact that they ordered God away and wanted no part of him and his ways.” (Job 21:7-14). Don’t allow pastors who don’t understand the ways of God to continue to deceive you. God is no respecter of “tithers.” Jesus says: “(God) makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” (Matthew 5:45). In all the time you have been going to church, have you ever seen any “tither” who received so much money he had no room to put it? I doubt it. The windows of heaven were opened on believers when Jesus gave us the keys of the kingdom of God. (Matthew 16:19). The blessing that there shall not be room enough to contain is the blessing of salvation. In the kingdom of God, a man who is financially rich is not deemed to be blessed. The man who is blessed is he who has received forgiveness of sins. Jesus says: “Blessed are the merciful! For they shall obtain mercy.” (Matthew 5:7). David concurs: “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.” (Psalm 32:1-2). So if you have been deceived into believing some financial windfall is going to fall down on you from heaven because you pay tithes, think again. You have been conned.
PoliticsJonathan Spent N64 Billion On Independence Anniversaries -El-rufai by collinspro(op): 8:36am On Oct 02, 2015
Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, has hailed
President Muhammadu Buhari for budgeting
N70m for the Independence Day anniversary.
El-Rufai noted in a Facebook post on Thursday
that under former President Goodluck Jonathan,
the Federal Government spent billions every year
on Independence Day.
He noted that between 2011 and 2014, Jonathan
spent over N64bn celebrating Independence Day.
Curiously, in 2010 Jonathan budgeted N10bn for
Nigeria’s golden jubilee celebration.
He wrote, “This is the APC/PMB change we
voted for. Independence anniversary expenditure
for the past five years: 2011 – N13bn; 2012 -
N15bn; 2013 – N14bn; 2014 – N22bn; 2015 -
N70m
In a separate post titled, ‘Our chance for national
rebirth’, el-Rufai urged on the people of Kaduna
not to lose hope.
He noted that the nation was not yet where it
ought to be but with purposeful leadership,
things would get better.
The governor subsequently pardoned some
convicted prisoners.
He said, “On this occasion, the Kaduna State
government decided to extend mercy to
prisoners. Pursuant to Section 212 of the
constitution, the prerogative of mercy was
exercised in favour of 14 prisoners.
“The government commuted the death sentences
of five convicts, who will now serve prison time.
Five prisoners serving sentences of three years
and above were released on the basis of good
behaviour or time served already.
“In addition, three prisoners were released on the
basis on age while one person was released due
to ill health. In doing our duty to show mercy,
the government warns that it will not tolerate
crime and threats to security.”
He said one of the highpoints of the last 55
years was the 2015 general elections which saw
the defeat of his former party, the Peoples
Democratic Party, and the victory of the All
Progressives Congress which will ensure the
needed change.
He thanked Nigerians, specifically the people of
Kaduna for voting for change and steering the
nation to the path of greatness.
El-Rufai said, “We can celebrate because 2015 is
the year that the people of this country decided
it was time to begin the rebirth of a nation.
Against the most concerted campaign ever
mounted by a government to divide the people it
was meant to lead, Nigerians refused to be set
against one another.
“I pay tribute to the many sacrifices that were
made to make the historic elections of this year
possible. What the voters of 2015 did was to
make democracy a bulwark of patriotism. In
other words, the people cast their votes for their
country. May we never again be saddled with
people who (rated) themselves above the
country.”
The former minister said education remained the
key to development.
He, therefore, declared a state of emergency in
the education sector.
He said, “Education is emancipation! Education
is freedom from want and disease! The provision
of free basic education in decent schools and
with skilled teachers is one of the priorities this
government will accomplish in its four-year term.
“We have spent the past few months planning
school repairs, the provision of school furniture
and the training of teachers. Today, we move to
declare a state of emergency in education. We
ask for your support as we begin to implement
extraordinary measures in the educational
sector.”
RomanceFive Distinct Kiss That Send Five Distinct Messages by collinspro(op): 12:46pm On Sep 25, 2015
There are a lot of ways to send your spouse a message without saying anything at all — and kissing is probably one of the best ways! Kissing is an incredibly effective (not to mention romantic) form of nonverbal communication. It’s important to kiss your spouse every day, multiple times a day. Don’t ever let a day go by without kissing the love of your life! Show your sweetheart how you really feel with one of these five distinct mouth-to-mouth messages. 1. The peck The peck is quick, easy and short. It lasts under two seconds, and it’s an effective way to say, “Good morning, sunshine!” or “Have a great day at work!” Get in the habit of giving your honey a peck before you go to bed at night and when you wake up in the morning. Make sure you always share a peck before heading out the door to work. The peck is one of the simplest ways to share physical affection at times when it’s not realistic to share more. The peck says, “I’m thinking about you, and I care about you.” It can also be a great way to smooth over a tough conversation. 2. The b*tterfly kiss. The b*tterfly kiss is when you flutter your eyelashes on your sweetheart’s cheek, just below the eye. It’s a little nuzzle that says you’re feeling cuddly and want some attention. It works great if you’re lucky enough to have long eyelashes; otherwise, you might want to try something else. Moving on. 3. The side kiss Similar to the peck, the side kiss is a short kiss that’s useful in public. When you’re standing beside your spouse, holding hands in the grocery store, lean in and steal a side kiss. It’s brief, but it’s meaningful. It’s the kissing equivalent of a wink. It says, “I like having you by my side.” The side kiss sends a clear message to others that the hottie standing next to you is taken. Don’t be ashamed to share the side kiss in public from time to time — especially in front of your children. That shared moment is too sweet for the world not to “oooh” and “ahhh” over. 4. The smooch Ah, the smooch. You know what this one looks like. On the spectrum of kissing, this one is somewhere between a peck and a “grab-both- sides-of-your-face-and-pull-you-in” kiss. The smooch usually lasts about 5-10 seconds. It’s a kiss that holds on a little longer. The smooch is often used at airports when couples say goodbye — or in cheesy films like High School Musical. Sure, it’s a little over-the-top, but admit it. It’s super fun and quite romantic. Next time you are reunited with your spouse, offer a huge smooch and whisper something sweet. It’ll be a hit. 5. The 30-second kiss When it comes to nurturing your marriage, this kiss is the most important. This is an “I never want to let go” kind of kiss. An “I want to keep kissing you” kind of kiss. You should share at least one 30-second kiss (or longer) with your spouse each day. When is the best time for this kind of kiss? ANYTIME. But it really works its magic when it’s the first thing you do after being apart during the day. The message sent by the 30-second kiss is loud and clear: “I really love you. More than anything or anyone else. I love you to the moon and back — to the end of forever.” If it’s been awhile since you last shared this passionate kiss, go do it. Now. The 30-second kiss is pure magic that will nurture your marriage. It causes all kinds of chemical and physical reactions that will leave you and your spouse craving more of each other (which is always a plus). The bottom line here? Kissing is awesome. And it’s super important in keeping love alive in your marriage. So, go kiss your spouse. Seriously. It’s one of the sweetest, truest and most effective ways to say, “I love you!”
RomanceTroubled Japanese Women Can Now Rent Handsome Men by collinspro(op): 12:37pm On Sep 25, 2015
A cool new service in Japan is meant to help busy career women cope with the stress of their hectic lifestyles. For about 7,900 yen ($65), they can hire ‘Ikemeso’ – cute men – to wipe away their tears, quite literally! Oddity Central reports: Here’s how it works: You call the company and pick one of seven Ikemeso, who will then arrive at your workplace to help you release stress through crying. If you’re in tears already, the licensed “crying therapist” will simply wipe your tears away with the softest handkerchief and comfort you with kind words. If work-related stress hasn’t pushed you to tears yet, the Ikemeso will play an emotional film meant to induce crying. After the video is over, he’ll wipe your tears away. There are different types of guys you can choose from, depending on your taste – the little brother, the intellectual, the bad boy, the slightly older hot guy, and more. The service is all set to launch on September 24. According to Hiroki Terai, the creator of Ikemeso, “Japanese women are under tremendous stress at the office here in Tokyo, which often ends in tears. We are here to provide a kind word and brush the tears away by one of our seven lovely men on call.” Some will undoubtedly find the whole idea sexist, but Terai claims that the company has been receiving queries non-stop ever since they launched the website last week. He also insists that the service is not a hoax. “More and more women are trying to hold down professional jobs these days but the male dominated, workaholic workforce makes it hard for them,” he said. “We want such put-upon women to have a good cry and feel better when they feel targeted.”
PoliticsJonathan Gave It All As Jesus Christ Did - Fayose by collinspro(op): 9:02am On Sep 25, 2015
By Samuel Oyadongha & Emem Idio YENAGOA -Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State and chairman of the PDP national electoral panel, Bayelsa State yesterday described Dr. Goodluck Jonathan former president’s participation in the primary election in the state as a “home coming” . And Fayose went further comparing Jonathan to Jesus saying that Jonathan, just as ‘Jesus Christ did exactly to save souls’, gave it all. He also said it was wrong on the part of President Muhammadu Buhari to appoint his in- law as the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC). According to him, “A president took me out of the government house by force and another President gave me a leverage and a platform to come back. To whom much is given, much much is expected.” Fayose, spoke during the Bayelsa PDP Primary in which the incumbent governor, Seriake Dickson, the sole candidate was elected as the party candidate for the December governorship election. He said “My President and former President of Nigeria, my loyalty is not in doubt. Forever and ever I am your person and I remain your person, when others fall by the way side, disloyalty, consequences must come and we are witnessing consequences of such in the country. “Those of them that left us they should learn a lesson from what is going on. We will remain here when you come back, we will remain in the country

A lot of people have criticized the prosecution of Saraki in the past week but the question still remains: is this healthy for our Democracy? Why is the CCB bringing this up now knowing fully well that alleged corruption was perpetuated when he was governor.

PoliticsIs The Military Winning The War Against Boko Haram? by collinspro(op): 6:36pm On Sep 20, 2015
The military chiefs have said a lot about banishing the Islamic sect and ending book haram but the recent recording on social media by the sect supposedly led by Abubakar Shekau, cast more doubt about the military claims. It would be a great relief on the government and the citizens if the military can actually put an end to boko haram once and for all.
I trust the president and his team totally and I am hoping that Shekau's claim in that audio recording is not true.

The question now is which punitive measure is the best to arrest this this cankerworm called corruption ? Could it be death sentence. Air ur view

PoliticsOba Akiolu Apologizes: I Was Under The Influence Of Alcohol (orijin) by collinspro(op): 8:48am On Apr 10, 2015
Very hillarious, but a nice step he has chosen to
apologise on his wrong use of words. The Oba of Lagos,
Chief Rilwan Akiolu, has finally issued a personal
statement regarding his recent outburst where he
threatened any Igbo who dared vote against his
candidate with drowning in The Lagos Lagoon.
The Outburst, which made waves on the internet
yesterday, where the Oba threatened that igbos saying
“if you don’t vote Ambode that i picked, you will all
drown in the water”, has not gone down well with a lot
of people in the country.
But in a recent turn of events, the Oba has issued an
apology to the Igbos and everyone offended by his
tirade, blaming his actions on the popular Alcoholic drink,
ORIJIN.’
In his statement, he said;
“I want to offer my unequivocal apologies to the Igbo
people for the things I said. I am sorry.
I was drunk. I was drinking some Orijin just before the
meeting. It was my 1st time, it was so sweet, I did not
know it would be so intoxicating. I have ordered that all
Orijin Bottles and Cans should be thrown into the
Lagoon Instead”.

PoliticsHow Jega Defeated Jonathan For Buhari By Femi Aribisala by collinspro(op): 10:43pm On Apr 07, 2015
If you did not see my column last week, it was because I did not want to rain on anyone’s parade. I wanted the euphoria over the bullet we missed by avoiding the riots that would have ensued had the APC been defeated to subside. But I am now back to tell you that the presidential election was a big INEC rigmarole. Long before Jonathan lost the election to Buhari, he had been defeated by the machinations of Jega and INEC.

As a matter of fact, General Buhari did not win this presidential election: President Jonathan lost it. The president lost because he allowed himself to be defeated. Maybe he did not want to remain in power badly enough. Or maybe there was a side of him that felt there is honour in being the first incumbent president to lose an election in Nigeria. Whatever the case; he failed to heed the warning of many that, like Aminu Tambuwal and Lamido Sanusi, Attahiru Jega was working for the enemy.

Failure of Tinubu

With the coalition of Bola Tinubu’s ACN and Buhari’s CPC, many concluded that the outcome of the 2015 presidential election would be determined in the South-West. The assumption was that Tinubu would provide the killer-punch that had been missing in Buhari’s earlier failed attempts. However, this has proved to be mistaken. Tinubu failed to clean up the South-West with his broom for the APC. Indeed, in order for the APC to prevail in Lagos with only 160,000 votes, INEC had to ensure that many non-indigenes could not get their PVCs.

The truth of the matter is that, quite apart from the shenanigan of having a Redeemed Yoruba pastor as Buhari’s vice-presidential running-mate, the people of the South-West don’t like Buhari. In the 2011 election, they said this emphatically by giving him a paltry 321,000 votes out of the 4.7 million cast in the geopolitical zone. This time, in 2015, Buhari received 2.4 million South-West votes, with a plurality of 600,000 over Jonathan. However, most of those votes were actually not for Buhari: they were against Jonathan.

In the end, the South-West vote was neither pivotal to Buhari’s victory nor central to Jonathan’s defeat. Tinubu’s assistance for Buhari ended at the APC presidential primaries where he got Buhari nominated against the wishes of Northern delegates. All Tinubu did at the level of the presidential election was to give a façade of national spread to Buhari’s essentially Northern victory. This factor will soon come to haunt Tinubu and his South-West cohorts when it is time to share the spoils of victory in the Buhari administration.

Should APC lose the Lagos governorship election, Tinubu would be left in a quandary. All the Northern timber and caliber who were missing in action throughout the campaign when Tinubu, Fashola and other Southern politicians were running helter-skelter with Buhari, will soon come out of the woodwork to claim their Buhari inheritance. Inevitably, they will overshadow the Southern brigade. Vice-President Osinbajo will simply be sent to fetch water when crucial decisions are to be made by Northern “born-to-rule” elements.

Southerners without coattails

In order to defeat the PDP, APC needed to undermine Jonathan in his areas of greatest strengths – the South-South and the South-East. However, APC men like Amaechi, Okorocha and Oshiomhole proved to be paper-tigers in these areas. In Rivers, Amaechi was disgraced. With all his bluster, he could only deliver 69,000 votes to Buhari; while Jonathan made off with a whopping 1.45 million. No wonder, therefore, that the governor tried to save face by saying there was no election in Rivers. He even rented a crowd to go on a perfunctory demonstration.


Chinem Bestman sent me a text message from Port Harcourt with the same complaint that the election was rigged. I answered by asking him if there has ever been a free and fair election in Rivers since 1999. Amaechi knew the ropes, therefore when he came for accreditation, he asked to see the election result sheet. He knew the traditional rigmarole in Rivers was to doctor the report sheet. Now that he has been out-rigged, he is singing a different tune; asking Rivers people to forgive him.

In Imo, Okorocha was humiliated. He could only deliver 19% of the vote to Buhari. It looks like the governor is going to need another job very soon as he is unlikely to be re-elected. In Edo, Oshiomhole did much better. APC lost with 208,000 votes to PDP’s 286,000. Nevertheless, Oshiomhole tried to explain this away by complaining that PDP used the military to manipulate the election. However, when INEC announced the results, APC won the senatorial election in Edo North; one of the places where the governor claimed PDP used the military to rig.

Assault on the South-East

Godsday Orubebe grabbed the microphone during the collation of the election results and alleged to the whole world that INEC chairman Attahiru Jega is partial and tribalistic. His outburst may have been embarrassing, but it is not entirely without justification. The evidence of INEC’s partiality is compelling. Although President Jonathan put a call to Orubebe to stop his protest, and he has decided to accept the verdict of INEC, that does not mean we should sweep INEC’s shenanigans under the carpet.

It is easy to fob off Orubebe by saying he was only being emotional because he is a PDP man from Niger Delta, a kinsman of Mr. President who “lost” the election. That just won’t cut it. I am not a Niger Deltan. I don’t belong in the PDP. I don’t know Goodluck Jonathan and I have never ever met him or spoken to him. Cynical Nigerians believe anyone who supports Jonathan must either be in his pay or be looking for a job. Neither allegation is applicable to me. Jonathan ostensibly received 12.8 million votes; surely all these people were neither in his pay nor Aso Rock job-seekers.

My faith requires me to support the weak. Therefore, I will always support the minority against the tyranny of the majority. We cannot be reliant on South-South oil in Nigeria and then treat one of their sons as if he is an impostor for being president of the country. The fact of the matter is that this presidential election was the result of a vicious and malicious gang-up of the majority ethnic groups against the minorities.

Since the civil war, the Igbos of the South-East have been treated as if they are a minority ethnic group in Nigeria when in fact they are one of the majorities. In order to diminish Jonathan’s votes, a major assault was made against them; recognising that they are some of the staunchest Jonathan supporters. In 2011, the Igbo gave Goodluck Jonathan a decisive 5 million votes. The task of INEC in 2015 was to ensure that did not recur.

INEC rigmarole

Buhari prevailed as a result of a deliberate disenfranchisement of the Igbo by INEC through the manipulation of PVC distribution and the failure of the card reader in the South-East and the South-South. INEC ensured that, far more disproportionately and relative to other geopolitical zones, millions of South-East voters disappeared between 2011 and 2015, in order to provide a smooth passage for a Northern presidential candidate; which turned out to be Buhari.

The first strategy of INEC in this regard was to create 29,000 additional polling units, allocating 21,000 of these to the North and only 8,000 to the South. In this crass manipulation, INEC gave more additional polling units to Abuja than it gave to the entire South-East. However, widespread outcry over this proposal forced INEC to jettison it despite protracted resistance by Jega.


But INEC had a plan B: the registration of voters and the collection of PVCs. This was bogus and lopsided; skewed most especially against the South-East where only 7.6 million were registered and 5.6 million PVCs collected. Compare this with the war-torn North-East: 9.1 million were registered and 7.4 million collected. But the most outrageous were the figures of the North-West. 17.6 million registrations and 15.1 million collections were recorded in the North-West; much more than the figures in the entire South-East and South-South combined.

On Election Day, news of a bomb blast in Enugu served to discourage people from coming out to vote in the South-East. In addition, there was widespread late voter accreditation and voting in the South-East as well as the South-South. One reason for this was the massive failure of the card-readers in these zones, highly suggestive that they were programmed to fail there.

Quite incredibly, the card-reader failed to recognise even the president. It took President Jonathan 35 minutes to get accredited; but within five hours, we are meant to believe that 2.5 million voters in Kano were duly accredited. In the middle of the election, INEC changed from card-reader to manual accreditation. This suddenly brought into play the huge voter registrations in the North-West. Cell-phone video recordings showed many of the North-West’s bloated PVC holders to be under-aged children.

Abracadabra

The total effect of these machinations is that over 2.4 million South-East voters were successfully disenfranchised. 38 million people nationwide voted for Buhari and Jonathan in 2011. In 2015, this figure shrank to 28 million. The votes of the South-West remained virtually constant. 4.6 million people of the South-West voted in 2011: 4.2 million in 2015. But compare this with what happened in the South-East. 5 million people voted in 2011, only 2.6 million in 2015. That is a drastic drop of 2.4 million.

While Kano, Katsina, Kaduna, Jigawa and Bauchi were posting their traditional humongous figures; Imo, Anambra and Abia were posting relatively disappointing figures. Jigawa used to be a part of Kano, when Kano was said to be bigger than Lagos. In the 2015 election, the votes of Jigawa and Kano combined was double that of Lagos. Lagos had 1.4 million votes. Jigawa and Kano had 3.1 million; virtually all for Buhari.


While the internally displaced Northerners in the North-East could vote, internally displaced Igbos from the North could not. In places like Lagos and Kano, many non-indigenes were not even given their PVCs. In effect, the innovation of the Permanent Voters Cards is designed to permanently disenfranchise the South. If this is not redressed immediately, the North will always determine the winner in Nigerian elections.

PoliticsPDP Plans To Rig Ebonyi Poll - APC by collinspro(op): 8:42pm On Apr 06, 2015
The Ebonyi State chapter of the All Progressives
Congress has alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party
plans to rig the governorship and House of Assembly
elections on Saturday.
The Ebonyi APC Chairman, Ben Nwaobasi, said the party
had received reports that result sheets of the
forthcoming elections have been sold to the PDP by the
Independent National Electoral Commission.
Nwaobasi made these claims on Monday while speaking
to journalists in Abakaliki, the state capital.
He, therefore, called on security agents to investigate
the matter, adding that it was capable of causing crisis
in the elections.
“We can’t allow a repeat of the National Assembly
elections in the state and we are calling on security
agents to prepare for the challenge ahead.
“We heard that people have bought the results sheets for
the next elections and we are watching them. We have
alerted the whole world on this,” he said.
Speaking on the preparedness of the party for the
governorship and state assembly elections, Nwaobasi
said the APC was poised to win the polls.
He said, “Nobody should be given preferential treatment
and we are calling on INEC not to be funny anymore. We
cannot accept what happened in the National Assembly
elections again; if it re-occurs we will fight it to the end.”
Meanwhile, the governorship candidate of the Labour
Party in Ebonyi State, Edward Nkwegu, had appealed to
the party’s supporters not to be demoralised by the
election results declared after the presidential and
National Assembly elections, which gave the PDP victory
in three senatorial and six House of Representatives
seats in the state.
Nkwegu stated that the LP actually won the NASS
elections but alleged that some compromised staff of
INEC, in collusion with the PDP, announced a different
result.
In an address, entitled ‘The Imperative of Vigilance and
Steadfastness’, the Ebonyi LP candidate vowed that the
party would recover its stolen mandate through the due
process of the law, noting that documentary evidence
had already been compiled.
He challenged the security agencies, INEC officials and
the citizens of the state to be vigilant in order to
forestall such act in the April 11 governorship and state
assembly elections, which he boasted that the LP would
win once it is free and fair.

PoliticsINEC Reschedules Edo NASS Election by collinspro(op): 8:10pm On Apr 06, 2015
The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Edo, Mr. Mike
Igini, said on Monday that the National Assembly
election for Orhionmwon which was cancelled would hold
on Saturday, April 11.
He announced the new date in Benin while addressing
newsmen.
It should be recalled that the March 28 National
Assembly election was cancelled due to non-availability
of electoral materials including result sheets.
Igini said, “Quite a number of challenges which arose
during the March 28 elections and were brought to our
attention by the public have been acknowledged.
“I will be meeting with electoral officers after this
conference to review the outcome of the March 28 polls.
“Lessons learnt will be used in planning for Saturday’s
State House of Assembly elections.”
Igini warned electoral officers against violating the
commission’s electoral procedure.
“The April 11 election is going to be more challenging
because it involves representation at the grass root level.
“As such a breach of electoral procedures would not be
tolerated; reactions would be swift and immediate if
there are any,” he stressed.
