Why is the information at the public domain, and why are they asking PDP for suggestion on how to fix the problems, I think they won election promising magical changes and now are asking for advise.

Read her piece as published on The Trent below:

The comedian and mother of two Helen Paul, writes down her views and disappointment in President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari recent statement that he cannot guarantee the safe return of the kidnapped Chibok girls..

Hmmm… it’s one year and some days now since the Chibok girls have been missing. Yet, the days are still counting because we have no clue about their whereabouts.

This is a very sad development indeed. No doubt, it was a disappointment that the outgoing government failed to locate and rescue the girls from the hands of their Boko Haram abductors.

As a mother, who knows what the pains of child labour and child upbringing are all about, I heaved a sigh of relief when Muhammadu Buhari emerged winner of the presidential election. It was not because I like him more than Jonathan, but because I listened to one of his campaigns, where he promised to bring back the girls if elected into office.

Perhaps, Nigerians elected him on that premise.
I feel that, at least, it will be a great achievement for whoever locates and brings back the girls to their respective families. In fact, whoever achieves that will be celebrated as a hero all over the world. But then, I have seen another reason to believe that all politicians are the same.

Their modus operandi may only be different. A few days ago, exactly when it clocked one year that the girls had been missing, Buhari broke my heart, just like that of other Nigerians when he said his government could not promise to bring back the girls! I felt really devastated because that comment was a sharp contrast to the promises he made to all Nigerians and the world at large during his campaigns.

Honestly, I try not to be disappointed because you can always expect anything from Nigerians, politicians in particular. They can promise heaven on earth during campaigns, but the moment they get to power, they promptly renege on their promises. Such is life in this part of the world where we find ourselves.

I tried to put myself in the shoes of the parents, relatives and neighbours of the missing girls, who, perhaps, solicited votes for the retired General after hearing his campaign promise that he would bring back the girls. How will they feel now hearing him say something to the contrary?

There is an adage in Yoruba that says ‘ omo eni ku san ju omo eni sonu lo,’ meaning that it is better for someone’s child to die than to be missing. I can imagine the different thoughts and imaginations that would have saddled the minds of those girls’ parents. If the girls are dead (which I don’t pray for anyway), the parents will mourn for sometime and recover, but that they are missing is another experience entirely.

Senator Bukola Saraki may have emerged the Senate President even before the senators’ election as out of 109 senators, 64 ranking and new senators-elect have endorsed him as the next senator to succeed the outgoing President, Davi Mark.

As the race for the Senate presidency intensifies, report according to ThisDay Newspaper has it that 64 ranking and new senators-elect met yesterday at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, to endorse the former Kwara State governor, Senator Bukola Saraki, for the post of Senate president.




A source who was at the meeting said that the senators who are backing Saraki, who is from the North-central geopolitical zone, had decided to throw their weight behind the former Kwara governor, because they want a “Senate president who is a product of the members and not imposed by a godfather.”

He said those present at the meeting comprised 19 senators elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and 45 from the APC.

Providing more insight, he said those that attended the meeting included Senators Muhammad Adamu Aliero, Danjuma Goje, Andy Uba, Mohammed Ali Ndume and Gilbert Nnaji.

Others include Dino Melaye and Isiaka Adeleke, who have just won elections to the senate, the three senators representing Delta State and two from Edo State, among others.

As reported by THISDAY, Saraki’s endorsement is aimed at thwarting attempts by the APC to zone the Senate presidency to the North-east geopolitical zone, and efforts by the National Leader of the party Bola Tinubu, to foist Senator Ahmed Lawan, his preferred candidate from Yobe State, as Senate president.

Saraki’s endorsement came as former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar yesterday said the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was working hard to amicably resolve the raging tussle over the zoning of principal offices of the National Assembly.

Unless there is realignment before the senate actual election, that will be capable of breaking the ranks of the senators who have endorsed Saraki, he has emerged the next senate president.

Editor1:
President Goodluck Jonathan has, for the first
time, questioned the results of the March 28
presidential election, maintaining that the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is still the
dominant party in Nigeria.

Jonathan had congratulated Muhammadu
Buhari, candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), before the final result was
announced but he said on Thursday that he
only did it for the unity of Nigeria.

He said the PDP could not have recorded the
low scores recorded for him in some areas.
The president was speaking at the submission
of the report of the PDP Presidential Campaign
Organisation (PPCO) at the new banquet hall of
the presidential villa.

Jonathan said: “PDP is still the dominant party.
If you look at the result, the difference is just
over two million votes. And if you look at the
areas where it is perceived that PDP scored so
low, PDP couldn’t have gotten those kinds of
scores.”

He said now that the elections are over, “I put
the country first”.

1. A legion of excuses and change of promises

Since winning election, Buhari has been singing a new tune totally different from what he told us prior to the elections. From "dont expect miracles", to "my agenda threaten by falling oil prices" Now we even hear that the APC's manifestos which Nigerians voted for 'is not the bible or Qur'an which can not be change' See gobe

2. Barring AIT
Old habits die hard. 'repentant democrat' indeed. The fate of even nairaland is in the balance

3. Rewarding founder of BBOG group with political appointment
That the activities of this group is suspect from the start is no news but with this all doubts about their mission and aims have been cleared. They may have many lofty aims as a group but now we know that rescuing the chibok girls is not one of their aims

4. Promises Selective probes (Case in point, Sanusi's £20 billions)
One of the think Buhari was accused of during the campaigns was his tendacy for selective prosecutions. Now tell me, what about the Financial Reporting Council allegations of fraudulent financial recklessness leveled against Sanusi himself including the Sanusi’s claim that it paid N38.233 billion to the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company Plc in 2011 for the “printing of bank notes” whereas the turnover of the entire printing and minting company group is N29.370 billion.

5.Promoting god fatherism in Nigeria political space
From hanging out with OBJ to granting interview to Aljezera insinuating that OBJ is his political god father. We all know that political god fatherism is one of the bane of our national development as all political god fathers are rent seekers

6. Making Corrupt politicians the pillars of his team
For some one who made all the right noises about fighting corruption to be nomination a committee filled with people with corruption cases with EFCC leave much to be desired. Even making Timipre Sylva, who is accused of stealing N19.2billion from the state treasury while he governed the state between 2007 and 2011 as the head of his team is a shame

7. Forming a parallel government.
Through his actions and utterances, the incoming government was overheating the polity and carrying out actions which tend to undermine the powers of President Goodluck Jonathan. Do unto other as you wish other do to you[/s]

$20billion missing or taken away by the rightful owners... people of the oil rich Niger delta region,,after cleaning up the oil spills u can now probe...

laytoshtwo:
Lol,na four years of court case if you have a good lawyer,case closed.

barcanista:
That is very good. Baba remember that you must seriously audit the NNPC books and let's see who between Mallam Sanusi and Allison was truthful. Meanwhile a reputable audit firm categorically said that the "unremitted" fund wwas little over $1 billion. "Note the word unremitted and not missing".

Meanwhile, remember to probe Petroleum Development Trust Fund of which Obasanjo and Atiku were both indicted by the Senate.

Baba you should also probe Transcorp Deals perpetrated by Obasanjo and his corrupt allies.


Baba Be prepared to work with Nyesome Wike in probing Amaechi when evidence start coming.

Baba remember the Saraki case. The allegation against Fashola by True Face of Lagos. That against Sylva among others....


Baba we are wtching...

dirtymoney:
Obasanjo used the EFCC in witch hunting his political enemies and contenders... I hope Buhari would not be used as a tool for opposition witch hunting... In as much as Sanusi has become a saint over night... Are all the shabby appointments that were dished out to his kinsmen from kano and kaduna be probed as well? A big organization like CBN has not recruited in almost five years (if not more than), yet new employees resume work there every Monday morning.. Same with NDIC, NSMPC, NNPC, top ministries in Abuja etc. Are we gonna probe all these as well...
Buhari and the APC, as well as Nigerians should give Nigeria a fresh start... Not spending more years and resources hunting down the past.... A new beginning should be launched where transparency, accountability and due process would be the order of the day..
If the new government spend time chasing the past, in the nearest future Nigerians would start screaming change again...

ewizard1:
Did i read "Any phone?"

Samsung Galaxy S4's standard charger is 5v 2A, 5v 250mAh would not even charge it if its on... the battery percent would decrease instead if otherwise.

Those things you put together can only charge Torchlight Nokia phones efficiently.
