The vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), has threatened a legal action against the spokesman for the President Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, for what he termed defamation of his person. Fani-Kayode had, in a recent press statement made available to various media houses, alleged that Osinbajo had taken a secret oath with a national leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu, to relinquish power as the vice president to Tinubu after six months in office, in the event that the APC won the presidential election. Fani-kayode had, in the statement titled, “APC is selling a dummy to the whole world; Tinubu is the real candidate,” reportedly described Osinbajo as a stooge in the hands of Tinubu. But Osinbajo, in a pre-litigation letter to Fani-Kayode on Tuesday, asked him to, within seven days, retract the said defamatory statement or be prepared for litigation. In the letter written on his behalf by his lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), the senior advocate also asked Fani- Kayode to tender a public apology to him which should be aired on four television stations and published in four national dailies in addition to a payment of N2bn for the damages already done against his person. Falana said Fani-Kayode’s statement was not only false but was specifically targeted at impugning Osinbajo’s character and lower him in the estimation of right thinking members of the public. He described Fani-Kayode’s statement as vicious, wicked and reckless, adding that the claims were inconsistent with Osinbajo’s faith, role and ethics as a pastor, a professor of Law and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria. Falana, while saying that Fani-Kayode’s statement suggested that Osinbajo was complicit in a fraud against the Nigerian people, maintained that such statement negated Osinbajo’s “publicly acclaimed and validated record of competence, honesty and integrity.” He therefore asked Fani-Kayode to retract the statement with a public apology or “we shall proceed with our client’s instruction to seek appropriate legal remedies for your publication and dissemination of defamatory statements.”

Now that the tide has turned, you are ranting your dirty mouth here.
President Goodluck Jonathan has said that he will return to his Otuoke home in Bayelsa State, if by default, he loses the March 28 presidential election.
Jonathan, who said Nigeria is not his father’s estate, was however optimistic that he “will not lose the election.”
“If by default somebody wins the election, of course, I will go back to my village. The country is not my father’s estate,” he told the Quatar-based international television station, AlJazeera, on Monday night.
The President denied that he was scared of the All Progressives Congress and its Presidential candidate, Maj.Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, adding that he would win because he had performed well.
When asked what he made of the insinuations in some quarters that the sudden step-up of military operations in the fight against Boko Haram was because he was scared he might lose the election on the grounds of insecurity, he replied , “It is out of ignorance.
“In a political environment, if one party, particularly the ruling party, is going to the left, the opposition would have to go to the right. They must find something. They must have something to tell the people.”
The President, however, explained that Boko Haram insurgents were able to wreak havoc on parts of the country for long because the military lacked certain weapons to confront them.
The President noted that with the procurement of modern weapons, the security agencies would rout the terror group soon.
He also denied that he mishandled the threat posed by the sect to the country and that the activities of the group did not start with his administration.
Jonathan, who reassured Nigerians that the rescheduled elections would not be postponed, said the security agencies had not promised to rout out Boko Haram completely before the elections.
The President however explained that the military would degrade the insurgents to the level that they would no longer have the strength to disrupt the polls.
He said,“That is the key thing. In terms of taking over our territories by the sect,we will retake them and very soon, there will be no part of Nigeria where the insurgents will erect a flag and say this is a Boko Haram territory.
“That we will do but what I am saying is that even if you do that, that does not mean you are isolated from terror attack, but gradually with improvement in terms of technology and monitoring we will able to bring it down.
“When we take over all the territories they are holding, they are becoming weaker, now we will improve our monitoring using superior technologies to monitor their activities. We will begin to pick them and then of course, frustrate their activities. So over the period, it will go. We cannot live with terror. No, we can’t. We will stop it.”
He also dismissed the allegation by some APC senators that he was planning to remove the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Attahiru Jega.
He told his interviewer that he had not even discussed Jega’s purported removal with anyone.
Jonathan said, “Except somebody is insinuating that the chairman has done something wrong. You cannot change an officer, except the person has done something wrong. Government, whether at the federal or state level, president or governor, does not wake up and change somebody, especially somebody like the INEC chairman; except that person has done something wrong.
“INEC is a very sensitive body. For me to change the INEC chairman, Nigerians and non-Nigerians will ask questions. So, you cannot wake up and change the INEC Chairman.”
Jonathan also dismissed insinuations that corruption had worsened in the country under his Presidency.
The President specifically made reference to an allegation by a former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Sanusi Lamido (the current Emir of Kano) that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation failed to remit N49.8bn to the national treasury between 2011 and 2012.
He accused him of blowing the issue of corruption out of proportion.
Jonathan said, “Even the corruption issues –even if you look at the Corruption Perception Index…yes, people talk about corruption now because it has become almost a political issue. And when you move something to the level of politics, of course normally the issue is blown out of proportion.
“Yes, we have cases of corruption but it’s not as bad as people make it to be. Yes, we have cases of stealing; I always say it that, call a thief a thief. I am not staying that Nigeria doesn’t have an element of corruption or stealing.
“Start from ex-CBN governor who said $48.9bn was missing. What is the budget of this country for God’s sake? Our budget has been about N3.something trillion. That’s roughly about $18 to $20bn a year.
“And someone is saying we lose N48.9bn. If we lost that huge amount both federal and state governments would not be able to pay salaries. I don’t know how he came about that figure. The next thing was for him to reduce the figure. Up to this time I don’t know which is the correct accusation.”
freecocoa: If he can find a feminine attire that still makes him look manly, then he should wear it na, what I'm trying to say is, is that this attire doesn't makea girl look like a man.
When a man wears female attires it doesn't make him look like a woman, so i believe you both can rock the feminine dress and don't forget to train him on how to use the high heel shoes too.
BTW there is now another nl thread where you females want to rock agbada too. Na wa for una sha..
Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
osenidvdg: Why confessing to pastor or his wife? Can any one of them forgive and save?.

Don't trust any flesh

freecocoa: Couples should be buddies as far as I'm concerned, it's best that way.
It's not as if my b00bs, or wonderful figure would vanish, my perfectly done make-up would be there too, so people will obviously be able to tell I'm a woman, your point is what exactly?
Couples can be buddies but not all buddies are couples..my point is that there are other ways that you and your husband can dress that make you guys presentable as a couple and as buddies..not this..what if tomorrow your husband decides to dress in your feminine attire, do you think you will still look like buddies not to talk of looking like a couple?
fairygeh: It even shows you have been in this business for long,by saying how long does it take common appendicitis to heal,you are so annoying.
Don't mind the guy..he is a serial cheat using born again to cover up his nefarious actions..how can a so called born again proclaim healing by kissing a woman's punny? this is one reason I avoid the so called born again people, many of them are like Satan if not worse.
gunnerman: I kno its God who 4givs but then i was at d Redemption Camp wen pastor Adeboye said,he cheated on his wife,comfessed to God,but God told him to go and confess to his wife b4 He forgive him.
Then confess to your wife.. and don't try to lie or twist the story when confessing to your wife or else you will suffer double punishment.
