It is now official: the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it lost its 16-year hold on power because former President Goodluck Jonathan betrayed the north. Cairo Ojougboh, vice-chairman (south-south) of the PDP, told journalists in Abuja on Friday that if Jonathan had kept to his promise to do only one term in 2011, the party would not have lost the election. In a report published by THISDAY on Sunday, Ojougboh said even the Christian north turned against Jonathan in the 2015 polls because of the “injustice” of reneging on his promise. Although he was widely reported to have promised to do only one term in 2011, Jonathan denied entering such a pact and challenged his accusers to provide evidence. But Ojougboh maintained that Jonathan did make the promise after succeeding President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, who had barely spent three years in office when he died. The PDP leader said: “Jonathan himself said he will do only four years. Emirs, leaders and stakeholders in the country accepted that Jonathan will do only four years so that power can shift to the north. When the time came, a lot of macabre dance started. People started putting pressure here and there, and people started encouraging Jonathan to contest. “Unfortunately, Jonathan didn’t have the nerve to say, no, I will keep my agreement. So, Jonathan contesting meant that zoning formula had been breached. The north didn’t take kindly to it; they said, no, this is not what we agreed. Even the Christian north that used to be very friendly, especially the north-central, said, we had an agreement. “Some governors, about five of them, left the party because of that because they saw what was happening. The north now agreed that they must take power back, that it was their turn.” He said the 2015 election was a battle between the north and the south. “The south had done more than enough for the time being, for the agreement of 1998/1999. So the north said, look we are going to vote for our son, whether he is good or bad,” he said. Jonathan lost to President Muhammadu Buhari by 2.57 million votes, having won in 2011 by a difference of 10 million votes. https://www.thecable.ng/pdp-lost-gej-betrayed-north

In the heat of insurgency in Nigeria, Mr. Anthony Egbase, a Nigerian
legal practitioner and security advocate based in the United States of
America, met with the President Barack Obama and his wife. Egbase
shares his experience and details of the meeting in this television-
excerpted interview monitored by our correspondent.

Did
Give us a background of what your understanding of the Boko Haram
in Nigeria.
Of course as you know, the Boko Haram issue began in Nigeria and
started escalating. With their kidnapping of the 200 Chibok girls, the
issue of Boko Haram was brought to the doorstep of the whole world.
Then, we in the diaspora, especially in the United States, felt that we
should do something about it. I didn’t think Nigeria as a country was
doing enough to push the issue and I believed that I could actually
find out what was going on.
I read in the newspapers that there was a United States embargo on
helping Nigeria with military assistance. On the other hand, there was
the argument that Nigeria did not want to seek assistance from the
United States because that would tilt Nigeria to the west when half of
Nigeria is a Muslim country.
So I decided to first of all meet with the First Lady of the United
States, Mitchell Obama and discuss the issue. And of course, I
thanked her for bringing the issue to the world stage, because as you
know, she also posed with the #BringBackOurGirls placard.
So I thanked her and let her know that we needed more assistance
from her husband. I went through the African way of doing things by
going through the wife so that she would be able to push better for
me.
She wasn’t able to speak on that because she doesn’t talk about
national security issues, but I knew I could reach the President also.
So I reached President Obama and we discussed the issue
extensively.
What Mr. Obama told me was that the problem in Nigeria, the way he
sees it, is that if the Nigerian government dared to go against the
Boko Haram, it would be interpreted as one section of the country
against the other section.
But, in my conversation with President Obama, I realised that what he
actually wanted is for the affected African countries coming together
to form a coalition and going after insurgency. With that, the United
States would be comfortable rendering assistance just like they are
doing it in the Middle East.
Don’t you think America has more access to information to dissect the
situation?
I don’t agree with you on that. I don’t think they have more access
than we do. You are talking about foreigners understanding your
country better than you do? No!
I don’t understand how attacking Boko Haram would be interpreted to
mean one section of the country against the other.
What I believe he meant was that we should understand that the
President at that time (Goodluck Jonathan) is from the South. So if he
decided to go against the Boko Haram in full force, it would be
interpreted as the Southern part of the country going against the
Northern part of the country.
I believe he was wrong though, but that is obviously what he got from
the Department of States. And when he suggested or when he stated
that what he wanted to see was the countries affected forming a
coalition, you should understand that most of these affected countries
are Muslim countries. But my point is that we shouldn’t let foreigners
think for us. He (Obama) was right in that aspect that the countries
affected should form a coalition.
Is that the same coalition we are getting to see now?
That is what we are getting to see now. We should have seen that
before the United States or President Obama saw it. So if you had
gotten the countries affected together and you figured a way to deal
with the issue, we wouldn’t be where we are now.
After that, did you meet anyone in Nigeria to inform such a person of
what President Obama thinks about the insurgency?
Yes, I did, but if you are talking about someone in government,
probably no. It is easier for me to talk to elected officials in the
US, than to talk to elected officials here for obvious reasons. But I did
talk to former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
I was fortunate to meet him and we had a lengthy conversation. We
actually flew from Atlanta to Lagos together for 12 hours. We had an
interactive session where we discussed this issue in details.
I also met again with him in his residence at Ota (in Ogun State). He
actually told me all the efforts he had made trying to broker the issue
of insurgency and the Boko Haram and the meetings he had with
former President Jonathan and suggestions that he made were not
taken. And I believe him.
We now have a new president in Nigeria and Boko Haram has
continued. What solutions would you want to suggest right now?
Shortly before President Jonathan left office, there was increase in
the fight against insurgency. That did have an effect. What now
happened is surgical strikes by the insurgents.
Prior to now, they were taking villages and territories. Now, it is
surgical strikes. That is expected. How do you combat that? Through
intelligence. Someone is obviously dropping the ball. Don’t tell me
that in a country like Nigeria, an African country where you have
communal living, neighbours know their neighbours, that you can’t
have the intelligence to know the stranger in town? That baffles me.
Israel is one of the safest countries in the Middle East, but has the
greatest number of enemies around it. Why is it safe? It is because of
intelligence. We should be doing that and even ask countries like
Israel and the US on how to do that.
Aren’t we doing that already?
Are we? I heard President Buhari is meeting with Obama. I would like
him to stress on that part. He should tap on the US intelligence
capability. President Obama said some days ago that the fight on
ideology can only be won by better ideology. That is true, but how do
you go about that?
Educate people; free education for every Nigerian child. If the law is
already there, enforce it so that every Nigerian child is educated.
Create opportunities, provide infrastructure and open up the economy.
READ ALSO: President Buhari Reveals What He Expects From Meeting
With Obama
Let us identify the root-cause of this insurgency.
The root-cause in my opinion is hopelessness, lack of opportunities
and infrastructure. Even though it is an ideological war, it is based on
something; an opportunity which the people have to tap into. www.naij.com/485208-what-president-obama-told-me-about-boko-haram-egbase.html

AMERICA CANNOT BE WRONG?
The influence of America and her culture on the church in Nigeria is
monumental.
Although Christianity did not come from America, America was as
gentile as Nigeria as
far as the salvation programme of God is concerned, people here have
come to see
America as the standard of Christianity. Any minister of God who
travels to America to
preach, even though to less than two dozen people, leaving the
hundreds of brethren in
his congregation behind is considered a big and successful minister
of God.
Here we have adopted the American style of worship. Our musical
instruments are
American; our lyrics are American. Our ministers dress American;
some even mimic
popular American preachers sounding miserable in the process.
When our brothers, (Americana pastors) came back from America,
they began to tell us
that it no longer matter for our sisters to cover their heads in prayer
meetings. Everybody
(except some few "conservatives" said yes; America cannot be
wrong. Later they told us
that since women wear trousers to church in America, it no longer
matter for sisters here
to do same. Everybody complied; America cannot be wrong! Recently,
men come to
church with braided hair while women come with "skin" haircut, many
are in church with
tattoo and men wear ear rings. We all sing, jump and shout together
in church in the
American way; these things do not matter because that is what they
do in America and
America cannot be wrong!
Now American men are marrying themselves in church and their
women are doing the
same. Soon American churches will be full of couples who are Mr
Wood and Mr Wood
married legally in the church and Mrs and Mrs Stones married
together. America is
always right! That is the position here!
Soon in Nigeria, shall also see Olu and Ade, two brothers in the
church as couple, one in
the choir and the other an usher?
I hope America will be wrong for once and something will really
matter to the church in
Nigeria!
Soon it will no longer matter in America for Mr Coal to marry his dog
and for Miss Bush
to marry her horse. Then, I hope it will matter to the church in
Nigeria!
Brethren, for how long will the culture of America be the culture of the
church? The
"name it and claim it" faith movement came from America; also, the
capitalistic
Christianity where wealth is used to measure God's approval. Where is
America leading
the churches in our land?
Our bishops and reverends, I hope that after your next trip to America,
homosexuality will
still be a sin; I hope it will still matter?
We do not need any prophet again to know that the trumpet of the
home call will sound
any moment from now. How ready are you?
I hope the matter of eternity still matter to you?
(If it matters to you, share this message with those that matter in
your life)
Think on these things and may God give you understanding in Jesus
name.
Shalom!

Let me start by bringing you back to a decision made by Chad govt after suicide bombings in the country. "Chad has banned people from wearing the full-face veil, following two suicide bomb attacks on Monday.
Chad's government accused Nigerian militant Islamist group Boko Haram of the bombings which killed more than 20 people.
The prime minister said the veil was used as a "camouflage" by militants and said the security forces will burn all full-face veils sold in markets.
Chad is to host a new regional force set up to tackle Boko Haram.
The militant group has not commented on the attack but has previously threatened to attack Chad, after its forces started to help Nigeria.
At a meeting with religious leaders, Prime Minister Kalzeube Pahimi Deubet said the ban applied everywhere, not only public places.
He added that any clothing that covers everything but the eyes was a camouflage. Now my own view is dat if Chad with 53.1% Muslims can ban the use of face veil so as to expose bombers that use it as camouflage, why cant Nigeria with 50.4% muslim population do the same? particularly in the North East. With these faces of everbody would been seen and it would be most difficult for you to move with explosives without been suspected. i understand the current president is a muslim, but is the president of Chad also not a muslim? Abi guys what's ur take on this cause am fed up of hearing boko bombings everyday. For goodness sake people Are dying.

GOD BLESS ME
GOD BLESS YOU
GOD BLESS THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

Buhari has solutions to Nigeria’s problems – Mohammed
JULY 3, 2015 : SUCCESS NWOGU
34 Comments
President Muhammadu Buhari
The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Alhaji
Lai Mohammed, has said the administration of President Muhammadu
Buhari has the blueprint to tackle Nigeria’s developmental challenges.
He noted that Nigeria has enormously and critical challenges in many
sectors especially in areas of health, poverty, education and
unemployment.
He, however, said Buhari’s administration had worked out immediate,
intermediate and long term measures to ameliorate the challenges in
all critical sectors.
Mohammed spoke on Thursday during his 9th Ramadan Lecture in Oro,
Kwara State.
He said Buhari’s government would solve the problems ‘even in the face
of paucity of funds.
According to him, the paucity of funds was caused by the fall in the
price of crude oil, which Nigeria depended on for most of its foreign
exchange earnings.
He added that the paucity of funds was caused by the alleged
“unbridled and maddening corruption that has seen public officers
ferreting away public funds.”
Mohammed said, “I have deliberately taken us through the grim
statistics in the very key areas of health, education, poverty and
unemployment to drive home the point that we are in trouble, as a
nation, if we don’t act in a deliberate, concerted and determined way to
turn things around for the better.”
He said that while Nigerians had made history by voting for the APC to
take over the reins of power from a ruling party, the Peoples
Democratic Party, that held sway for 16 years, they must now follow up
by ensuring that the process of change – which they brought about –
came into fruition.
According to him, the best way to do it is for Nigerians to remain
politically-aware and engaged as they were in the run-up to the
elections.
“That simply means they must be willing to defend the change they
voted for by continuing to support the government of President
Muhammadu Buhari, while preventing the reactionary forces, who never
wanted or voted for change anyway, from sabotaging his party’s change
mantra. Whatever is worth fighting for is worth defending.
“I say this with all sense of responsibility, and against the stark realities
that we face daunting challenges in all sectors. Never before has our
nation been put in a situation where it virtually had to start rebuilding
from the scratch, after almost all sectors have become nearly
comatose. This is why it is necessary for the new government at the
centre to make haste slowly, and get it right once and for all.
“Whereas we face huge problems in the economic and security sectors,
as well as in the area of infrastructural renewal, just to mention a few,
let us restrict ourselves to the social issues alone for the purpose of
these remarks.”
He said that the nation’s health sector was in serious distress.
According to him, Nigeria’s health statistics are worse than the average
for African countries, even though Nigeria claims to be the giant of
Africa.
He said 128 children were dying in every 1000 live births as of 2013
while mortality from malaria was estimated at 1,157 deaths per 100,000
population.
He added that tuberculosis was estimated at five deaths per 100,000
population in 2013.
He stated that “about 900,000 children and mothers die each year in
Nigeria, accounting for 14 per cent of all maternal and 13 per cent of
all under-5 deaths globally, and second only to India.”
According to him, at 576 deaths per 100,000 live births, the maternal
mortality ratio has remained static since 2008.
He stated that although child mortality is falling, progress is insufficient
to reach the MDG targets.
Mohammed also said that “an increasing proportion of child deaths, that
is 37 per cent, occurs during the first month of life from largely
preventable causes which are complications during birth, infection and
complications of premature births.”
He added that under-nutrition remained a significant challenge,
contributing to 35 per cent of deaths in children under-5 years in
Nigeria.
“The proportion of underweight – children who have low weight for their
age- increased by 21% between 2003 and 2013, and the proportion of
children with wasting, that is low weight for height, increased by 64%
during the same period.
“Overall, socio-economic and geographical inequalities in health
outcomes and access to healthcare are stark and increasing, with the
poor and rural having worst outcomes.
“In the area of immunisation, Nigeria is still one of the three remaining
polio-endemic countries, together with Pakistan and Afghanistan. In
addition, Nigeria has the world’s largest burden of HIV-positive
newborns, with more than 50,000 children born with positive status
each year.”
The APC spokesperson said Nigeria’s education system should prepare
the children for the responsibilities of citizenship and prepare the
youths to contribute to the development of the country.
He stated that unfortunately the current system was failing to equip
Nigeria’s children with the knowledge and skills they needed to thrive in
today’s rapidly changing society and economy.
According to him,the current situation of education in Nigeria depicts
large numbers of children, that is 10.5 million, remain out of school.
He added that children from poorer households, rural areas and females
were more likely not to be in school.
According to him, primary school attendance is 44 per cent in the
northeast compared to 81 per cent in the southeast.
Even when children are in school, a large proportion are not learning.
According to him nearly half of all children who have completed
primary school cannot read a complete sentence.
Mohammed also said that a large proportion of Nigerian population live
very close to the poverty line and are highly vulnerable to small
variations of income.
He stated that since 2003, Nigeria had recorded strong economic
growth, with real Gross Domestic Product growth averaging seven per
cent.
He added that however, in the same period, poverty rate had only
declined slightly from about 48.4 per cent in 2003 to 46 per cent in
2010. www.punchng.com/news/buhari-has-solutions-to-nigerias-problems-mohammed/

Egbin power plant now generates 1,000MW
JULY 2, 2015 : STANLEY OPARA
45 Comments
Egbin thermal station
Nigeria’s largest power generation plant, Egbin Power Plc, is for the first
time in eight years generating above 1,000 megawatts of electricity.
This follows continuous investment and upgrade activities on the plant
by the Sahara Power Group and Korea Electric Power Corporation, Egbin
Power explained in a statement on Wednesday.
Eight years ago, the plant hit the 1,000MW mark for barely two hours
and never attained it again until now, according to the company.
Prior to the privatisation of the plant in November 2013, the Egbin plant
average generation was below 500MW due to the dismal state of its six
units. At its lowest point, only two of the six units were operational,
according to the statement.
The Chairman, Egbin Power Plc, Mr. Kola Adesina, was quoted as saying
that the feat signposted the unfolding success of the privatisation
process and the power sector reform in the country.
Adesina attributed the achievement partly to the direct intervention of
the Federal Government in its determination to resolve the power crisis,
which had resulted in recent improvements in gas supply.
“This is driving the increase in power supply in the nation and boosting
socio-economic development. Prior to this, we had invested heavily and
had the plant ready to generate power at full capacity, but there was no
gas to do so. This, is indeed, a good development for the power sector
in Nigeria,” he said.
The company’s Chief Executive Officer, Dallas Peavey, also said the
transformation in Egbin commenced following its acquisition by Kepco
Energy Resource Limited, in collaboration with its technical partners,
Korea Electric Power Corporation.
He said, “Through the injection of close to N50bn in new capital into
Egbin post privatisation, the Sahara Power/KEPCO partnership has
brought to the power plant an unprecedented level of innovativeness,
professionalism, human capital development and continuing investment
in new technology. The control room panels, installed at the plant’s
inception, have been removed and upgraded to state of the art digital
panels.
“The highlight of the main plant rehabilitation occurred in the first
quarter of 2015, when the company successfully rehabilitated ST Unit 6,
bringing an additional 220MW to the national grid and restoring the
power plant to its installed capacity of 1,320MW.

Petrol sells for N500 per litre in Anambra
JULY 2, 2015 : TONY OKAFOR
14 Comments
Petrol stations
Residents of Anambra State woke up on Wednesday to another round of
fuel scarcity due to the closure of most filling stations in protest over
what they described as high levies imposed on them by the state
government.
As a consequence, motorists and other users of petrol resorted to
buying the product from black marketers for as much as N500 per litre.
A petroleum products’ marketer, Joseph Nwakpadolu, told our
correspondent that most of his colleagues closed their retail outlets to
protest the heavy levies imposed on them by the state government.
He said the marketers had to convene an emergency meeting to
discuss the levies and taxes imposed on them by the government.
Nwakpadolu said each filling station owner was being asked to pay a
huge sum annually, which he said would kill their businesses if
implemented.
He said the general meeting had become imperative after all efforts to
get the government to rescind the plan failed.
“We met to discuss the high levies the government has billed our
businesses; they are giving us a combined bill of over N500,000 per
year exclusive of tax. Our position is that the amount is high and cannot
be sustained if we must remain in business,” he added.
The Chairman, Petroleum Dealers’ Association of Nigeria, Anambra State
chapter, Chief Osita Ofodile, confirmed that the marketers were being
asked to pay over N500,000 each, which their colleagues in other states
were paying.
No government official could be reached for reaction because of the
state’s Executive Council meeting that was still going on at 5.30pm
when this report was sent.

If Buhari says there is hope, then i believe him.

I am 100% certain he is working behind the scene to curb our domestic terrorism. It will only take a short time, but Boko Haram and their fellow travelers will soon be relegated to the dungeon of irrelevancy and history.

Nigeria is on the path to greatness.

working behind the scene? and u expect Nigerians to believe dat their president is working behind d scene. that sounds ridiculous

Suspected Boko Haram member attacks Civil
Defence Corps Officer in Anambra
(ONITSHA)
Pandemonium broke out Tuesday evening at Nkpor Junction in
Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra state, near
Onitsha, when information filtered that a man suspected to be a
Boko Haram member was spotted in the area with explosive
materials on his person.
According to eye witness account, the man, a Northerner, had
boarded a bike from Umuoji community to an undisclosed
destination and the cyclist who became uncomfortable with his
mannerisms and the contents of the passenger’s bag, suddenly
stopped at Nkpor junction and alerted the armed men of the
Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) who quickly
cordoned off the area and made to arrest the man.
The Northerner resisted arrest and engaged the officers in a
struggle before punching one of them. The officers finally
overpowered him and frantically searched his bag as on-lookers
and inhabitants of the area scampered for safety, suspecting that
the man may be carrying a bomb or other explosive device.
The news quickly spread within Onitsha and environs, even as
some shop owners within the area quickly made efforts to close
and run away from the scene.
Our reporter on the scene confirmed the incident from a civil
defense officer, who said officers over-powered the suspect and
whisked him off to their office for interrogation.
He noted that on getting to their office, the man was searched and
some six inches nails and a lighter were found in his bag.
There has been heightened fear and apprehension in Anambra
since the reported relocation from the north of the detained Boko
Haram insurgents to Ekwulobia prisons in Aguata Local Government
Area of the state. A situation that has made residents fear that
Boko Haram might invade the state in retaliatory attacks. sunnewsonline.com/new/suspected-boko-haram-member-attacks-civil-defence-corps-officer-in-anambra/

PMB Will Surprise Everyone
With Uncommon Performance
– APC
By George Agba
— Jul 1, 2015 7:51 am | 1 Comment
Amid widespread views and criticisms
that the President Muhammadu Buhari-
led government has failed to hit the
ground running 32 days after its
inauguration, the All Progressives
Congress (APC) yesterday explained
that the government is being methodic
in its approaches to achieve uncommon
performance that will surprise everyone.
APC national publicity secretary, Alhaji
Lai Mohammed, told journalists at a
press briefing in Lagos that contrary to
some individualized views, the Buhari-
led government had taken some
measures that had endeared it to both
Nigerians and international community.
He said, “It has been about one month
now since President Buhari assumed
office, and I can tell you that there has
been motion and there has been
movement contrary to what is being
peddled in some quarters.”
Mohammed lamented that the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) was bent on
frustrating the APC-led government,
pointing out that the Buhari
administration got the handover notes
from the former government just four
days before the inauguration, thus
hampering its efforts to have a clear
understanding of the position of things
so that the party could map out the
necessary measures to address them.
He said: “If any disease is not
appropriately diagnosed, it cannot be
effectively treated. Any government that
is truly desirous of bringing about real
change will not act hastily and without
the necessary understanding of what is
on ground. Coupled with the delay in
getting the much-needed information,
that takes time.”
On insecurity and the fight against
terrorism, the APC scribe said the
Buhari administration had since hit the
ground running.
“The president had hardly been sworn
into office when he embarked on a
shuttle diplomacy to rally Nigeria’s
neighbours to act as a common front
against the terror group, Boko Haram.
The president travelled to Chad and
Niger, and then hosted a summit of the
Lake Chad Basin Commission that
comprised Cameroon, Chad and Niger,
with Benin also invited.”
Stressing that the fight against
corruption ranks very high on the list of
Buhari administration’s priorities, he
asserted that the fight against terror
cannot succeed without putting an end
to the kind of massive corruption being
witnessed in the country.
He said, “That is why the president also
included it on the wish list he took to
Germany during the last G7 summit.
Thankfully, some Western nations have
now assured the Buhari administration
of all possible assistances in its efforts
to recover the billions of Naira that
spirited away from the public till by
public officers in the immediate past
administration.”
Mohammed recalled that the president
had, on Monday, ordered revenue
generating agencies, including the
NNPC, FIRS, Customs and NPA, to close
all Illegal revenue accounts and to also
remit all funds generated to the
federation account.
“This is a momentous step considering
that those illegal accounts are being
used to siphon public funds. Thanks to
the painstaking efforts of President
Buhari, Nigerians now know that out of
N8.1 trillion generated by the NNPC in
three years, N3.8 trillion of it was not
remitted to the federation account.
“Nigerians now know that the cash in
the excess crude account has been
depleted by $2 billion without
explanation. A panel of four governors
has been set up to investigate what
happened to the money that was not
remitted to the federation account. The
rot met by the Buhari Administration is
sickening, and the president is working
hard to plug all loopholes for siphoning
public funds, in addition to recovering
looted public funds,” he stated.
The APC spokesman added that these
actions were just the beginning of the
fight against corruption in the country
and urged Nigerians to prepare to watch
as events unfold in the anti-corruption
fight in the days ahead.
“It will no longer be business as usual
as the Buhari administration seeks to
make sure that every kobo of national
funds is spent for the benefit of
Nigerians, not to fill the deep pockets of
a few fat cats.”
On the international scene, he also
noted that since President Buhari’s
election on March 28, 2015, Nigeria has
been moving fast to regain its deserved
place in the comity of respected
nations.
According to him, “leaders who once
shunned Nigeria have been inviting
President Buhari to visit their countries.
The latest is US President Barack
Obama who will play host to our
president at the White House on July
20.”
He pointed out that there is no better
indication of how much Nigeria is
regaining its lost glory than the recent
election of former agriculture minister,
Dr Akinwumi Adesina, as the president
of the African Development Bank
(AfDB), the first time Nigeria would be
winning the post in the many decades of
the organization’s existence.
“Recall that Nigeria has never before
led the continental bank despite its
front-line role there. In backing and
campaigning for Dr. Adesina, President
Buhari put his acclaimed sterling
qualities to a global test, and he passed
in flying colours. Adesina’s election is a

Buhari Changes Personal Security
But leaves Nation Under Risk – by
Perry Brimah
Article written by Dr Peregrino Brimah of Ends.ng. Read
below…
Nigeria’s president Muhammad Buhari takes
his personal security seriously. After being
sworn in, the president waited over a month
before moving into his official Aso rock
residence. The delay in relocation was
attributed to suspicious security lapses,
possible espionage and overall distrust of the
department of state security, DSS headed by
the service chief Ita Ekpeyong and NSA Sambo
Dasuki.
Reliable reports have it that the DSS has been
expelled from all sensitive positions in Aso
rock.
It is understandable that where Buhari has a choice, he
chose not to move into Aso rock because he did not
trust the nation’s service chiefs and security
departments. The people of Maiduguri have no such
choice, nor do the people of Adamawa and Yobe. They
cannot simply decide to not occupy homes under
protection by these same risky chiefs. They cannot order
an overhaul or select the departments to provide them
security. They cannot simply handpick what agents and
agencies to protect their displaced camps and rescue
their abducted sons and daughters.
While president Buhari obviously considers his personal
security seriously, can we say he does the same with the
entire nation as he keeps the very same Sambo Dasuki,
DSS chief and Defense and army chiefs Badeh and
Minimah in charge of the nation’s security?
Based on the history it is reasoned that the service
chiefs left at the reigns are likely planting devices to
permanently undermine and sabotage Nigeria and larger
Africa’s war against terror and Nigeria’s security
capacity for decades to come.

Obama's Aide
The legalisation of Gay marriage as a constitutional right by the
Supreme Court of the United States, has taken a dramatic turn as ex-
aide to president Barrack Obama says it will help fight forces of
Islamic extremist terrorism.
Gay Marriage Will Help Us Fight Bok
Rosa Brooks, a former counselor to the defense undersecretary for
policy, and former senior adviser for the State Department, believes
sharing images of the gay rights jubilation will help fight ISIS.
The George town
university law professor explained that the images of gay jubilation
could bring about great difference in tackling the insurgents. Brooks
who was a former adviser to Obama believe gay marriage can actually
help defeat ISIS.
She said, “Do you want to fight the Islamic State and the forces of
Islamic extremist terrorism? I’ll tell you the best way to send a message
to those masked gunmen in Iraq and Syria and to everyone else who
gains power by sowing violence and fear.
“Just keep posting that second set of images. Post them on Facebook
and Twitter and Reddit and in comments all over the Internet. Send
them to your friends and your family. Send them to your pen pal in
France and your old roommate in Tunisia. Send them to strangers”.
ISIS and Boko Haram are are responsible for the killing of thousands of
lives and the displacement of millions all over the world. www.potrixblog.com/2015/06/gay-marriage-will-help-us-fight-boko.html?m=1
