http://www.post-nigeria.com/amaechi-uses-new-parameters-to-explain-corruption/

Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi ‎ and ministerial nominee of President Mohammadu Buhari has confessed being ignorant to the meaning of the term “corruption.”

“If you ask me to advice upcoming politicians I will find it a bit difficult because ............

Chibok Girls: Association of idol worshipers offers to rescue Army
http://www.post-nigeria.com/chibok-girls-association-of-idol-worshipers-offers-to-rescue-army/

A group of Ifa worshipers, under the umbrella of Ancient Religious Societies of African Descendants International Council, ARSADIC, have offered to assist the Nigerian Army in the ongoing counter insurgency war against Boko haram insurgents, advocating for traditional oath taking for politicians as a panacea for curbing corruption.

The group stated this through its Chairman, Executive Working Committee, EWC, Olalekan Ifagbenuola, at a press conference held at Ile Ife, appealing for recognition and collaboration with President Muhammadu Buhari in the ongoing efforts to ensure the rescue of the kidnapped 276 Chibok girls and eventual defeat of the insurgents.

“If proper oath of allegiance is taken genuinely, our leaders would not misbehave when they get to power. If the oath is taken in a traditional religious way, they will not misbehave.

“There must be fear of God in anything we do.”

“Corrupt leaders in offices promote crimes and if our leaders are honest, the level of crime in the country will greatly reduce.

How Nigerians reacted to the Abati, Edwin Clark exchange

Spokesman to former President Goodluck Jonathan Reuben Abati has rubbished Edwin Clark over his recent statement against the former President describing the Ijaw chieftain as a pretender and a disappointment to the Ijaw people and Nigerians in General.

Abati disclosed this in a piece, “Clark, the Father, Jonathan, the Son” which he published on his website. He expressed sheer disappointment with the Ijaw chief stating that it took him a while to write this expecting Clark to deny the comments attributed to him.

“I had hoped that our dear father, E.K. Clark, would issue a counter statement and say the usual things politicians say: ‘they quoted me out of context! Jonathan is my son.’

“That has not happened; rather, some other Ijaw voices, including one Joseph Evah, have come to the defence of the old man, to join hands in rubbishing a man they once defended to the hilt and used as a bargaining chip for the Ijaw interest in the larger Nigerian geo-politics.

“If President Jonathan had returned to power on May 29, 2015, these same persons would have remained in the corridors of power, displaying all forms of ethnic triumphalism.”

Though he continued to grapple with allegations that he used N78.3m to create a website and N139m to drill a single borehole.

Speculations were rife that the reports were being sponsored by Ahmed Boland Tinubu as part of efforts to discredit and deny him the opportunity of being appointed a Minister by President Buhari.
