I understand u, yes those in authority(Goodluck in particular) should take responsibility. but what I am saying is that duties have been delegated to them and the constitution backing them up. Two wrongs don't make a right. Dora Akunyili, Nuhu Ribadu etc performed thier duty very well and u don't need to call the president. Today these individuals are been mentioned before the one who appointed them. When the former Army Chief pushed the insurgents back some ppl were commending the army and not the President. When the former power minister worked hard to improve the power situation, it was Prof bath or NEPA of every ones lips and not the one who appointed him. So what I am saying is that some ppl shud take responsibility when it is bad and not only take commendation when things are well else they should leave thier positions. The president knows he can't do the work alone, that is why he appointed them else they there may be no need to waste millions in paying them. That is my view. But nice one to you anyway. I understand ur point and where u headed. Well done.

I think I get it now. Your point is that DHQ / Army chief should be blamed ! That's right but in the real world it happens differently . As the head of state presidency can remove anyone who is negligent to his/ duties

Although I get your point. I just want to cite this example. When Nigeria was declared Ebola free who was first to take Glory ? I will tell you. Good luck Jonathan Ebele.

Yess that's right ! Until there was an outrage by NMA and Nigerian masses , Did you get any hand sanitizers even when they purchased some for 1.9 Billion ? I guess not . If CBN gov in collaboration with Finance Minister works magic and one naira = one USD whose regime would get the glory ?

Have a wonderful day

Billyonaire:
Colouring of fonts doesnt inject sense into nonsense. The mere fact that you totally believe that the PENALTY for CROSSING THE BRT LANE is DEATH, speaks loudly of your IQ as a Party supporter, a Party and as a human being. If a Soldier crosses the BRT lane, the law says Arrest and Prosecute, but I know my APC Governor must have informed the mercenary driving the buses to KILL EVERY SOLDIER on BRT LANE.

APC hates Nigerian Soldiers, cos you want to kill them all so terror can succeed.

Chew that and think.

I see no mention of alliance to any party in the guy you quoted's comment. But you said "Your APC governor informed mercenary to kill soldiers"

"APC hates and wants to kill soldiers "


Are you 15 ys/o ? That's the most Mùmú (cious) comment ever. Let a friend read that to you. Then you'll know how immature it sounds

highmood:
then are u justifying the action of the military? Mr. Don't get me wrong. I am not saying the president should not take responsibility on situations, but when some people have failed to discipline themselves on situations which they can, how come u accuse someone else? The military might have broken the law by riding on the BRT lane so he was knocked down, he has failed first and the issue of ur cause and effect comes in. The BRT driver who failed to control his speed and failed to understand that though the military defaulted, he should have applied caution also failed and resulted to the punishment of other ppl, destruction of properties etc you expect the president to call and say what u are about doing is not good? If that is the case, animals are better that such set of individuals. Are we animals that have failed to understand that jungle justice is foolishness? Have we failed to understand that those lives been killed are people like us and not animals? In a land of underdevelopment, how can we be destroying the little we have yet complain of poverty and underdevelopment? Two wrongs don't make a right. My people say they don't tell an elderly to leave the sun. Just like the north that is been destroyed and some northerners are busy accusing the president to leave office rather than come together and proffer a lasting solution while continuing in thier power struggle are busy folding thier hands waiting till thier sits on that throne. Ppl like Buhari and some northern state governors who would have suggested a lasting solution to the crisis are busy avoiding the State meeting. Its simply foolishness, wickedness and a show of animalistic behavior. So If some ppl believe the system have failed, then for such reason fail to do the right thing, then who should you blame? C'mon ppl should be constructive.

I hear you and I understand your point but I doubt that you understood mine

Non lagosians know that BRT lane is reserved .

The use of camo and military authority is probably ehy this incident occoured .

Use of Vecto power/ military authority. If it was a civilian I heard they get chased by lastma taken to a psychiatric hospital then fined .


If the executive office had made it clear that no one is above the law by ensuring all offenders are prosecuted there would be less abuse of power.

But when you start saying stealing public funds is stealing its not corruption or you say being a president gives you the right to pardon known corrupt officials . Its cause and effect and the ripple effects spread outwards


Jungle justice is never right . if people have been arrested and prosecuted for aluu4 , or previous popular cases you would see less crimes like that being concluded


Change starts from us. But we are just the mases if the oga at the top can enforce law / rule of law. Nigeria will be a better place

People are still not aware of this development for a few reasons

I this topic did not make front page

People rarely Install updates

In my opinion this is the best innovation ever especially cos BBM is most widely used for communication after that its whatsapp or 2go.


Bravo BBM. Best part is this feature is available on android too. I guess the comment was funny but true about people sending timed unclad photos would feel safer

World Cup 2010
In 2010 after the Nigerian football team failed to progress beyond the group stage at FIFA World Cup in South Africa, Jonathan declared a two-year ban on the country's national football team from all international competitions. FIFA, the world football governing body, objected and stated that it would expel Nigeria from world football if the government interfered. Subsequently Jonathan bowed to pressure and lifted the ban.[30]

Removal of fuel subsidy
Main article: Occupy Nigeria
On 13 December 2011, the 2012 fiscal year's budget removed any provisions for the existing fuel subsidy.[31] According to a poll carried out by the Alliance for Credible Elections (ACE- Nigeria), 80% of Nigerians opposed the plan to remove the fuel subsidy.[32]

On 1 January 2012, the Jonathan administration announced the start of a controversial plan to end fuel subsidies.[33] Many prominent Nigerians spoke out against the removal of fuel subsidy by the Jonathan administration. Former Petroleum Minister Professor Tam David-West has spoken out and expressed concern that the planned removal of the fuel subsidy will squeeze the economy, increase inflation, and hurt both businesses and the public.[34]

A former military Head of State and a former Minister for Petroleum & Natural Resources, General Buhari, urged President Jonathan not to remove the fuel subsidy and to tackle corruption.[35]

General Yakubu Gowon, another former military Head of State, warned the government that the country's infrastructure should be revived before fuel subsidy removal steps were taken.[36]

Former military president Gen. Ibrahim Babangida joined millions of Nigerians protesting against the removal of the fuel subsidy by the Jonathan administration, saying that the action is ill-timed.[37]

Following the The Nigeria Labour Congress' warning that the country faces many strikes, the country unions followed up with strikes that were matched with civil protests from 9–13 January 2012. Protesters and groups called for President Jonathan to resign over the removal of fuel subsidies.[38][39] After five days of national protests and strikes, on 16 January, Jonathan announced that the pump price of petroleum would be 97 naira per litre as against the 147 naira the planned government's removal of subsidies would have taken the price to.[40]

1 October 2010 Independence Day bomb
During his South African magistrate court trial on 2 May 2012, MEND's (Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta) former leader Henry Okah came out and insisted that President Jonathan masterminded the 1 October 2010 independence day bomb attacks. He told the court that President Jonathan and his aides organised the attacks in Abuja in a desperate political strategy to demonise political opponents, including the former military President General Ibrahim Babangida, and to win popular sympathy ahead of the 2011 elections.[41]

The Nigerian Presidency has denied the allegations of terrorism leveled against President Jonathan. A media statement was issued on 2 May 2012, acknowledging the accusations from Okah. The statement went on to say that: “The Presidency categorically affirms that these allegations are false in their entirety and without any factual foundation." The Presidency also expressed no interest in commenting further for the time being, but planned to "make a full representation on the matter to the court when the trial opens."[42][43]

Renaming of the University of Lagos
In May 2012, President Jonathan changed the name of the University of Lagos to the Moshood Abiola University in honour of the late MKO Abiola. The action drew attention from critics; among them were pro-Abiola advocates and parties involved with the university.[44][45][46] Some critics cited that the President did not submit an appropriate bill to the legislature for the change; that the University's brand name should not be tampered with. The UNILAG Alumni Association commented that although they do not have prejudice against MKO Abiola, they were concerned "that neither the Governing Council nor the University Senate nor any other stakeholder was consulted before the change was announced."[47] Bola Tinubu congratulated Jonathan for taking action, but urged him to "do it right", adding that "we must be careful not to localise or sectionalise MKO". The President has attempted to regularise the renaming of the school by submitting a bill for an amendment of the University's establishing law to the legislature.

Theft is not corruption
In his speech, the President narrowed the meaning of corruption by officials: ”What many Nigerians refer to as corruption is actually stealing. Stealing is not the same thing as corruption.” [48]

He was supported here by the Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission), Ekpo Nta, who agreed to this new definition.[49]

Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act
In January 2014, Jonathan signed into law the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act after it was passed by the Senate and House of Representatives. The law prohibits gay relationships, membership and other involvement in gay societies and organizations and gay marriages. Penalties can be up to 14 years in prison for gay marriages and up to 10 years for other violations of the law.[50] Within a short period, the federal police department compiled a list of 168 gay people who would subsequently be jailed. Within days, 38 lesbian and gay people were already jailed, with arrests beginning during Christmas. The anti-LGBT bill stipulates that those who withhold the details of LGBT individuals face prison terms of up to 5 years.[51] His decision and the law itself have been described as controversial

highmood:
. My problem with some Nairalanders as well as some Nigerians as a whole is that they do fail to castigate those that commits a crime but are always quick to condemn someone who may not be have been involved or in a scene of a crime. Was Goodluck the one who placed the economy to what it is today? No! But for the fact thay he has been in power for just 4 years or a little more, he has be classified to be the destroyer of the country been majorly ruled by some northerners since after independence. Now on ur comment, the army did something wrong, rather than condemn the army or their top hierarchy who failed to call thier boys to other(since duties have been delegated to them) Goodluck is now been condemned. It's so unfortunate. Freedom of Information doesn't mean speak without been constructive and unbiase. Are the military fools not to know that those social amenities been provided by the government is from our resources and are meant for all? Are they not wise enough to understand that thier actions may slow down the process of development as what they destroy may take long to be put in place? Africans should learn how to channel thier grievances to the right people not to those who may not have been involved in a crime. We should learn how to preserve our properties rather than destroy them and yet cry of underdevelopment. Now, rather than u condemning those military first, you were just quick to attack mr president who was not in the scene of the events; just like the military failing to solely punish who ever is responsible, they were busy bestowing thier anger on innocent citizens and buses that never knocked their colleague down. Its bad. Africans and Nigerians should rise above any type of sentiments. I wonder why some people hates the President so much. Hmmm.

[size=15pt]
Just 4 years ? Are you kidding ? Give birth to a kid today and make it grow four years now now

If people were being punished / reprimanded for crimes they commit. I'm sure they won't burn 4 BRT buses

I wasn't there but I think if that soldier wasn't on BRT lane he wouldn't be killed.

Not that he deserved to die. If it was a civilian who died would the soldiers be kind enough to chase and arrest the BRT driver ?

If it was an Army member who killed a civilian would civilians raid the nearest barracks in reprisal ?

I guess my point is that if there's rule of law and its being enforced by the executive office. Normalcy would return to Nigeria

Every Nigerian has a right to life. A right to equality and a right to speak / defend himself at the court of law

If soldiers are deeply enjoying jungle justice why won't Aluu 4 happen among several other cases ?

Cause and effect bro. If you do something wrong and get away with it . you've given other would be offenders the psychological ginger to do more than what you did

If you don't understand that everything is the fault of the presidency for being a dog in a book that can't order , command , punish or uphold the law in favor of the masses who sent them to office then you are on a loooooong thing [/size]

You would notice wiki criticized and applauded him. No one's perfect but on a scale of performance GMB scoresd 89 back then . He has more experience , he must have noted lots of failures since PDP came to power and he is willing to make those changes. In my opinion he's the Change Nigeria needs

Minister of Petroleum[edit]
Having joined the army in 1962, Buhari first came to widespread public attention in 1976 when he became the Minister (or "Federal Commissioner" for Petroleum and Natural Resources under then-Head of State General Olusegun Obasanjo. Before then he served as Governor of the newly created North-Eastern State during the regime of Murtala Mohammed. He later became head of the newly created Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation[6] in 1977.[7]

Buhari military government[edit]
Major-General Buhari was selected to lead the country by middle and high-ranking military officers after a successful military coup d'etat that overthrew civilian President Shehu Shagari on December 31, 1983. At the time, Buhari was head of the Third Armored Division of Jos.[8] Buhari was appointed Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and Tunde Idiagbon was appointed Chief of General Staff (the de facto No. 2 in the administration). Buhari justified the military's seizure of power by castigating the civilian government as hopelessly corrupt, and his administration subsequently initiated a public campaign against indiscipline known as "War Against Indiscipline" (WAI). Aspects of this campaign included public humiliation of civil servants who arrived late for work whilst guards were armed with whips to ensure orderly queues at bus stops.[9]

He also moved to silence critics of his administration, passing decrees curbing press freedoms and allowing for opponents to be detained up to three months without formal charges.[10] He also banned strikes and lockouts by workers[10] and founded Nigeria's first secret police force, the National Security Organization.[11] His government sentenced popular musician and political critic Fela Kuti to ten years in prison on charges that Amnesty International denounced as fabricated and politically motivated;[12] Kuti was later pardoned and released by Buhari's successor.[13] In another high-profile incident that sparked a diplomatic incident with Britain, British officials found Umaru Dikko, Shehu Shagari's former transportation minister drugged in a crate marked for shipment to Lagos.[14]

According to the BBC, "Buhari's attempts to re-balance public finances by curbing imports led to many job losses and the closure of businesses."[15] These losses were accompanied by a rise in prices and a decline in living standards.[15] Some may hold contrary view to this assertion and call it mischievous though,[16] because Buhari is admired by many for his uprightness and stand against corruption. His government is revered for its ability to keep the country afloat by making progress through sheer economic ingenuity even when it rejected IMF loan and refused to adopt IMF conditionalities to devalue the Naira.[17] His government is praised for its gain in reducing inflation by refusing to devalue the nation's currency, the Nigerian Naira, curbing imports of needless goods, curtailing oil theft and using counter trade policy to barter seized illegally bunkered crude oil for needful goods like machineries, enabling it to export above its OPEC quota.[2]

The economic principles and political ideology of the Buhari military government is called Buharism by some political and economic writers and speakers.[4][5]

Cabinet Ministers[edit]
Agriculture Bukar Shuaib 1984–1985
Trade Mahmud Tukur 1984–1985
Communications A Abdullahi, Lt Col 1984–1985
Education Yarima Ibrahim 1984–1985
Health Emmanuel Nsan 1984–1985
Internal Affairs Mohammed Magoro 1984–1985
Works Patrick Koshoni 1984–1985
1985 coup and detention[edit]
In the face of the austerity measures, worsening economic conditions, and continued widespread corruption (this is questionable as corruption was said to have been at its lowest ebb in the Buhari/Idiagbon regime), Buhari was himself overthrown in a coup led by General Ibrahim Babangida and other members of the ruling Supreme Military Council (SMC) on August 27, 1985.[18] Babangida brought many of Buhari's most vocal critics into his administration, including Fela Kuti's brother Olukoye Ransome-Kuti, a doctor who had led a strike against Buhari to protest declining health care services.[13] Buhari was then detained in Benin City until 1988.[13]

Buhari's admirers believe that he was overthrown by corrupt elements in his government who were afraid of being brought to justice as his policies were beginning to yield tangible dividends in terms of public discipline, curbing corruption, lowering inflation, enhancing workforce and improving productivity.[19]

Later years[edit]
Buhari served as the Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), a body created by the government of General Abacha, and funded from the revenue generated by the increase in price of petroleum products, to pursue developmental projects around the country. A 1998 report in New African praised the PTF under Buhari for its transparency, calling it a rare "success story".[20] However, the same report also noted that critics had questioned the PTF's allocation of 20% of its resources to the military, which the critics feared would not be accountable for the revenue.[20]

In 2003, Buhari contested the presidential election[21] as the candidate of the All Nigeria People's Party (ANPP). He was defeated by the People's Democratic Party nominee, President Olusẹgun Ọbasanjọ, by a margin of more than eleven million votes. It was claimed by Buhari's supporters and other members of the opposition that in some states, like Ebonyi, there were more votes than there were registered voters.[22][23] Although some allegations of fraud were proven in the courts and the conduct of the election was criticized by the Commonwealth Observer Group,[24] the consensus among Nigerians was that he should not waste his time in court as he did not have the necessary resources to "buy" himself justice.[citation needed] Eventually, the same court also decided that the level of proven electoral fraud was not sufficient to affect the outcome of the election and to warrant the cancellation of the whole Presidential election.[citation needed]

On 18 December 2006, Gen. Buhari was nominated as the consensus candidate of the All Nigeria People's Party. His main challenger in the April 2007 polls was the ruling PDP candidate, Umaru Yar'Adua, who hailed from the same home state of Katsina. In the election, Buhari officially took 18% of the vote against 70% for Yar'Adua, but Buhari rejected these results.[25] After Yar'Adua took office, the ANPP agreed to join his government, but Buhari denounced this agreement.[26]

In March 2010, Buhari left the ANPP for the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), a party that he had helped to found. He said that he had supported foundation of the CPC "as a solution to the debilitating, ethical and ideological conflicts in my former party the ANPP".[27]

Buhari was the CPC Presidential candidate in the 16 April 2011 general election, running against incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), and Ibrahim Shekarau of ANPP. They were the major contenders among 20 contestants.[28] He was running on an anti-corruption platform and pledged to remove immunity protections from government officials.[14] He also gave support to enforcement of Sharia law in Nigeria's northern states, which had previously caused him political difficulties among Christian voters in the country's south.[9] However, he remains a "folk hero" to some for his vocal opposition to corruption.[14] Buhari won 12,214,853 votes, coming second to the incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP, who polled 22,495,187 votes and was declared the winner.[29]

In May 2014, in the wake of the 2014 Chibok kidnapping, Buhari strongly denounced the Boko Haram insurgency. He "urged Nigerians to put aside politics and all other divisions to crush the insurgency he said is fanned by mindless bigots masquerading as Muslims."[30]

National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, has said members of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, are fighting for justice.

According to him, many Nigerians feel aggrieved and seek various means of airing their grievances.

Tukur, who spoke in Abuja on Tuesday when he received members of the party from Gombe State, said there must be justice in the country for peace to reign.

Mr. Nothing will happen, nigerians have seen situation worst than this before, one good example is the WAI during Buhari and Idiagbon regime in the early 80s.
I believe nigerians can never be push to the wall again because, we failed to learn from the experience of history.

Well said but Nigerians are more exposed more desperate. I see a future where north south east and west of Nigeria will throw their differences aside for once and tackle the oppressors in Government and the murderers in North.


Of course it'll be chaos. If not managed it'll lead to full scale war. Nigerians are at the edge of a cliff and will fight back. It may be as soon as 2015 or later in 2025.

Eventually it will happen

Religious bigot!
How true is your statement?

Very !!!! do you know why ? Most of them aren't educated esp north. When they come of age they just draft them in the Army. That's why people.are scared of soldiers with whiskers looking tribal mark

That's why they can't shoot their brothers in the north

That's why they keep sabotaging

That's why they head coups

When can a nation or nations be called a state or country? When it has Government that's reelected periodically . not when its run by the same government consecutively for 19 years

Someone said a prayer for PDP lovers earlier. Quote him and type Amen

Jonathan failed every Nigerian you know that for a fact. And those quoting news from 1983 , its a waste of time.

Enough is enough PDP must go

Kano (Nigeria) (AFP) - Suspected Boko Haram fighters stole dynamite and pick-up trucks from a French-owned cement works in Nigeria after robbing a bank, in a raid to fund and pursue their campaign of violence in the northeast of the African nation.

The attack in Ashaka, in Gombe state, on Tuesday came after the Islamists robbed a bank, blew up a police station and razed a political party office 20 kilometres (12 miles) away in Nafada.

Both incidents again demonstrated Boko Haram's apparent ability to strike at will and further punctured government claims that a ceasefire deal has been reached to end five years of bloodshed.

Boko Haram funds its operations in part through bank robberies and has previously stolen vehicles including armoured personnel carriers, weapons and ammunition from the Nigerian military.

Unlike previous attacks in recent months in the far northeast, the militants did not attempt to hold the town, leaving when they secured their loot.

French diplomats in Nigeria said none of its nationals was taken in the raid. The head of the Lafarge group, Bruno Lafont, said operations had not been affected.

"The factory was the target of intruders. There were no injuries. There was no damage in the factory," he told reporters in Paris on Wednesday.

"This morning (Wednesday), the situation is still calm and everything is back to normal."



- Dynamite and trucks -



The Lafarge plant, set up in 1974, is the largest cement works in northern Nigeria and employs about 500 people, including an unspecified number of expatriates.

The gunmen stormed the site at about 3:00 pm (1400 GMT), according to one worker, Amadu Wunti, who said they looted high explosives and demanded to be taken to where expatriate managers stay.

Wunti identified the expatriates as French nationals but the Lafarge group said it did not comment on its foreign staff for security reasons.

At the time, the plant was mostly empty, with staff having run to safety when news spread that the gunmen were coming after the raid in Nafada, which left at least 10 dead, according to residents.

Locals Abubakar Galda and Awwal Ibrahim said five soldiers were killed at a checkpoint and four worshippers were shot dead at a mosque with the town's most senior cleric.

Wunti's account was supported by several others, including another staff member, who said: "They (the militants) pulled out after the raid. They did not hurt or kidnap anyone.

"But they took eight company vehicles and lots of dynamite used in quarry work. The attackers, which included young women, broke into the store and loaded dynamite into the vehicles and drove off."



- Recent violence -



Nafada is near the border with Yobe, a state under emergency rule since May last year because of the Islamist uprising and where Boko Haram is reportedly in control of several towns and villages.

The violence would be consistent with Boko Haram's recent pattern of striking south of their stronghold in the northeast, where it is attempting to carve out a hardline Islamic state.

The attack happened after a triple bombing at a bus station in the Gombe state capital, Gombe city, last week, which killed at least eight people and injured dozens of others.

Suspected militants on Sunday used dynamite to blast open a jail in the central state of Kogi, where Boko Haram prisoners have been held, allowing 132 to escape.

Bloodshed has continued across the north since the government claimed on October 17 that Boko Haram had agreed to a ceasefire.

Nigeria maintains that the truce is still viable, despite the continued violence and mounting death toll.

But most experts believe that the purported Boko Haram envoys supposedly in talks with the government have no ties to the group's real leadership.

Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau dismissed talk of a ceasefire as "a lie" in a video last week.

One World Trade Center dominates the Manhattan skyline


More than 13 years after the original towers were destroyed in the 9/11 attacks, New York's World Trade Center has re-opened for business.

Employees at publishing giant Conde Nast are starting to move into the 104-storey One World Trade Center.

The $3.8bn (£2.4bn) skyscraper took eight years to build and is now the tallest building in the US.

It is 60% leased and the government's General Services Administration has signed up for 275,000 square feet.

"The New York City skyline is whole again," Patrick Foye, executive director of the Port Authority, which owns the restored site, said in a statement.

The 1,776ft (541m) tall skyscraper is at the centre of the site, which includes a memorial in the footprints of the old towers and a museum, opened this year.

An observation deck at the top of the building will eventually be open to the public.


Mr Foye added the building was "the most secure office building in America".

TJ Gottesdiener of the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill firm that produced the final design said the high-rise went beyond the city's existing building code, and was built with steel-reinforced concrete.

About 170 of Conde Nast's employees will be moving into the building this week, filling five floors. About 3,000 more employees will join them in early 2015.

Space has also been leased to the advertising firm Kids Creative, the GSA, and 191,000 sq ft for the China Center, a trade and cultural space.

The new World Trade Center is the centrepiece of the 16-acre site where the twin towers once stood, before they came crashing down, killing more than 2,700 people.
