Politics › Fayose To Buhari: Nigerian Youths Best In The World by engineerboat(op): 7:40pm On Apr 23, 2018
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, has described Nigerian youths as the best in the world, lamenting that the under-privileged among them have had to struggle hard to make it in an environment without viable and equal opportunities.

The governor was reacting to a statement credited to President Mohammadu Buhari saying that many Nigeria youths below age of 30 were lazy and only wait for cheap and easy way out.

Governor Fayose who told the 2,300 corps members deployed to Ekiti State during the swearing in ceremony, on Monday, at Ise-Ekiti orientation camp, said that Nigerian leaders believe strongly in them, their industry and strength of character amid daunting socio-economic odds, urged them to keep hope alive as a new, younger and energetic leader would soon emerge to better their lot.

Said he, “Without being immodest, I join other Nigerians to condemn the statement that undermines our youth, describing them as lazy, I rather say our youths are the best in the world

” with great determination and lack of opportunities, you have been forging ahead and struggling to make it; we believe in you , that you are the best , the entertainment industry is greatly populated by the youths and you have fetched great fortune for the country. So, it is inappropriate to say you are lazy. We need younger and energetic Nigerian as next President. I assure you of our best hospitality and protection.”

Governor Fayose also said the need to advise the corps members and identify with them and made him to personally grace the occasion. He appealed to the young graduates not to be tools for election-rigging particularly in the forthcoming governorship poll in Ekiti State.

” I will never asked you to do anything that is unbecoming of Nigerian youths, the country looks up to you in the coming elections. Please don’t allow any politicians to influence you to rig including myself.

” Run away from inducement and politicians that would call your attention to do evil. You will be remembered for whatever you did. The Lord will keep all of you for me. The youths should not allow themselves to be used for thuggery or to rig elections by the politicians.

“If I Ayo Fayose asked you to rig election for me, you should decline. Your parents have spent fortunes on you to be a graduate. You should not disappoint them. Those politicians will never call out their children to die. Don’t allow yourselves to be used.

“Those of you that are being sworn in today will be around when the governorship election will hold in July, don’t allow yourselves to be used.

Your parents expect you to return home alive, hale and hearty,” he said.

at OP:


Read it again and compare to what you wrote above:


In the days following Governor Donald Duke's departure from Washington and our extraordinary conversation. I was mulling all this over and trying to figure out what it would mean should I accept the assignment when the attack began. Friends and family alerted me to a spate of articles that had begun to appear in a Nigerian online news outlet, Sahara Reporters, that were attacking me and the notion of my return to government as Finance Minister.

My initial reaction was to dismiss this as a stunt by an attention-seeking news outlet. I had had an unpleasant encounter with Sahara Reporters when 1 was minister. One night I received a call on a private phone line that I had reserved for use only by my family. When picked up the phone expecting a family member, a voice said this was Omoyele Sowore of Sahara Reporters and he had some questions for me to answer.

I was outraged and asked how he came about my private number. Bowen, publisher of Sahara Reporters, basically told me he had his sources but how he got the number was not the issue; I was a public servant, he had a right to. me on any number any time. and 1 should answer his questions I told him in no uncertain terms that he had no right to intrude on my privacy.

Shortly after, a tape of our conversation appeared on the Internet. Not only had this man violated all rules of decent behavior, but he had gone beyond to do something as unethical as taping our conversation without my ...ledge or permission. I did not think this was a news medium worthy of attention. Sahara Reporters began publishing negative amides at the rate of almost one a day in late May and through June and July 2011 (See appendix A).

Clearly something was afoot. The articles took different approaches in their attacks.

Politics › Withdrawal Of $1bn ECA: PDP Charges NASS To Sanction President Buhari by engineerboat(op): 6:37pm On Apr 23, 2018
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Monday charged the National Assembly to commence constitutional processes against President Muhammadu Buhari for allegedly withdrawing and spending $I billion from the Excess Crude Account (ECA) without the constitutionally required legislative appropriation.

PDP in a statement in Abuja through its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan said President Buhari was aware that his unilateral spending of $496 million (N151.374 billion) from the ECA, without recourse to the legislative approval of the National Assembly, was a gross violation of the laws and constitution of Nigerian.


The opposition party further said, “By this action, President Buhari has technically suspended the 1999 Constitution (as amended), plundered the inherent powers of the National Assembly as the principal institution of democratic rule, while re-enacting a sole administratorship in governance as if our nation is operating a military regime.

“More disturbing is the revelation that President Buhari paid the $496 million for the purchase of military aircraft from the United States, ignoring allegations of overprice and issues concerning due process, just to achieve a political expediency of currying President Donald Trump’s support for his 2019 re-election bid.

“The PDP states that President Buhari’s action amounts to a gross misconduct and betrayal of public trust because in the bid to push a personal agenda, he deliberately side-stepped statutory legislative scrutiny and acted in clear breach of section 80 (3) (4) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

“While section 80 (3) states that “no moneys shall withdrawn from any public fund of the federation, other than the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the federation unless the issues of those moneys has been authorized by an act of the National Assembly”, section 80 (4) provides that “no moneys shall be withdrawn from the Consolidated Revenue Fund or any other public fund of the federation except in the manner prescribed by the National Assembly.”


It also added, “The resort to falsehood, deception and secrecy in the withdrawal from the ECA and the reported $469 million payment for the military aircraft raises very serious issues regarding the integrity of the Buhari Presidency”.

Ologbondiyan said, “It is shocking that President Buhari, whose administration prides on claims of transparency and zero tolerance for corruption, elected on a platform that lay claims to the height of progressivism, who boasts of the highest standards of integrity, can mundanely resort to a violent abuse of our constitution just to suit a desperate passion of seeking re-election”

Christianity Etc › Re: Deeper Life Set to Commissioned New Headquarter Building, Gbagada Lagos April 24 by engineerboat(op): 4:20pm On Apr 23, 2018
Little background to the New Deeper Life HQ Building.


For years, Gbagada in Lagos State has served as a Jerusalem of some sort, boosting the religious, aesthetic and socio-economic status of the axis; becoming a dream destination to Deeper Christian Life Ministry (DCLM) members and other worshippers.

When a befitting headquarters began at Ayodele Oke-Owo Street in June 17, 2005, it was not a surprise to the residents that the Deeper Christian Life) headquarters will be situated in the community.Messrs Trevi foundation, a foremost contractor engineering firm in Nigeria handled the pilling works to the project, which occupies about 7,000 square metres land area for the main building, aside the auxiliary car parks and other facilities.

To get quality job delivery, the sub-structural works was awarded to Messrs Cappa & D’Alberto PLC on March 8, 2006 while the super structure, which is the building itself, was awarded to the same contractor on February 26, 2007.Experts say the worth of the edifice is estimated at about $16million but church officials were silent on the financial implication. The Guardian gathered that funds for the project was raised through financial donations, contributions and supports from members while the human and skill capacities were galvanised from the team of consultants comprising; engineers, architects, electricians, surveyors among others. A 20-member committee of professionals was assembled from the church to oversee the building.

Some of the unique features of the main building which seats 30,000 capacity include; the main bowl of about 16-21metres high, basement of 16,500 metres for 7,500 children capacity, stair hall to all galleries, 555 car parking lot, 76 BB buses capacity, ceiling staged air conditioning chillers, Close Circuit Televisions (CCTV) and security check points for all worshippers.

The project also has, four galleries, three large screens that are wall-mounted; one fitted in video-wall with most galleries fitted with chairs ordered from France.The roof structure is a massive Ironwork and, “we never used a crane rather we used girders of up to four metres deep due to the heavy load”, a project official stated.

Speaking, on the project, the architect, Pastor Kayode Dada told The Guardian that the design for the project started late October 2003 and lasted for about 18 months before approvals were gotten from the Lagos State government to build the 30,000 capacity headquarters church.He said the concept was clear based on the population demand and that the church had to buy more lands and houses around the premises in order to achieve the goal and objective of the project.

“We kept increasing the expanse of land to have enough space to move around. The building itself is about 7,000 square metres and it is such an organic development. The gallery recesses from the main-bowl. We have majorly three galleries and there is one place we have four galleries. The design is quite geometric. Wherever you are sitting in the building, you have the privileged to have direct and clear optical communication with the preachers. The preacher is the focus point of the design. No columns at all. The span is quite expansive ranging from 25metres and above. In the aesthetics, you have different colours and the materials used are acoustic; absorbs sounds and no trace of echo”.

“The basement is about 6,500metres for 7,500 children. There are stair halls for every gallery. The design is also to make congregants gather and evict them so easily and so fast because it is so porous with 14 entries. Those were the fundamental principles of the design”, he said.He further disclosed that “There were quite a lot of challenges during the construction. For instance, we are already on the ceiling level and we suddenly realize that because of the sensitive equipment that will be coming in, it became necessary for us to start installing a central air conditioning system which was a huge investment and construction for us and some of the ceilings were removed.”, he stated.

Also, the project director of Deeper Life Christian Ministry, national headquarters, Pastor Gerry Asemota explained that as the population started to outgrown the existing old structure on the site which was built in the late 1970/early 1980, there was the need to expand hence the commencement of the ready for commission project.

“This project started 2005, we had an old structure here many years ago and we were having five services every Sunday and God helped us as the congregation grew large and there was need to expand and reflect the demand of the moment and the vision of our general superintendent which actually brought about the design of another church building. With the directives given by our general superintendent, a team of engineers and architects were gathered from the church.

The architect who designed the building is a member of the church and all the structural engineers. Many of us gave full time service from the start of the project till now”, he disclosed.He said the installation was done by one of the contractors from Italy who trained the project workforce to do the bulk of the job. “The deep girders span like 30-metres and there are no columns in the middle to support inside the church. The roof structures were not erected by means of cranes because the building has been built and so if we were to erect the roof at that stage the crane needed to go inside and be lifting up the truces up and it would be difficult for crane to erect the roof.

“The contractor that fabricated the roof structure did not even have the capacity to erect them and so get our men together before we arrived at an ingenious solution”, he stated.According to him, the main contractor Cappa & D’Alberto had to lift up the truces in segments to certain level before the arrangement in a normal and appropriate order.

He said; “The ceiling is quite unique as we used stretched ceiling which is something like a cellophane sheet, not transparent but something between cellophane and tapeline. It is so called because you need to hit it then it will expand before you anchor it. The heating allows all the wrinkles to go up. We used different colours and they all played well and beautiful. The whole facility is air conditioned because of the population”.

“The sound system is another unique feature, it is powerful and made by Meyer sound of the United States of America and DiGiCo of the United Kingdom. The place accommodates the English, the Yoruba and other languages that are reached in their various segments where the worshippers are sitting. There are sections for the youths, university students and the basement is dedicated for the children”, he said.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will on April 24, 2018 attend the inauguration of the new headquarters building of Deeper Life Bible Church.The new complex is located at the Church’s old auditorium in Gbagada, Lagos.

A statement from the office of the General Superintendent of the Church, Pastor William F. Kumuyi said several state governors would also join Osinbajo at the event.Among the governors are the Lagos State Governor, Ambode Akinwunmi and other dignitaries in and outside the country.

In the statement, Kumuyi commended leaders and members of the Church worldwide for their contributions and patience, in the face of harsh economic realities.He said the 35,000-seat edifice and the already commissioned car park, has a bridge and traffic lights around the auditorium.

While commending the contributions of leaders and members of the Church worldwide, he added that the construction lasted for a little over a decade.“Their contributions in terms of finance and human resources, despite the challenging times, have been heart-warming and praise-worthy,” he said.

The General Superintendent explained: “The project is not in any way an advertisement of self or riches. It is served to accelerate the earnest fulfillment of the Great Commission. There are no riches to advertise anyway, because the resources came from all strata of membership of the church.

“Everyone contributed his or her mite. It was a determination to give God the very best.”He explained: “When you read through the scriptures, you would find that tabernacles were huge edifices that evoked the aura of the Almighty.“When you read about the nature of the building that King Solomon built for God, it was magnificent and befitting of worship of the owner of the whole universe,” he said.

Politics › Nigeria Youth Are Not Lazy, They Must Votr Against Bubari In 2019: Fayose by engineerboat(op): 8:39pm On Apr 19, 2018
Nigerian youths not lazy, they must vote against Buhari in 2019 – Fayose

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has called on youths in Nigeria to show President Muhammadu Buhari that they were not lazy and uneducated by voting against him in 2019, saying; “it is painful that the President could describe youths in Nigeria that are daily struggling to make a living under a harsh economy as lazy people.”

Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor said; “Contrary to the morale-killing comment of the President, Nigerian youths are hardworking, intelligent and enterprising. Their future was mortgaged by past leaders like President Buhari, who had everything at their beck and call as youths. I imagine the youths of today having half of the opportunities available in the 50s and 60s.”

He said; “At 19, President Buhari left Secondary School to join the Army. At age 21 (two years in the army), he was commissioned a second lieutenant and appointed Platoon Commander of the Second Infantry Battalion in Abeokuta, Nigeria. Within his 24 years in the Army, the President was Governor of North Eastern State, Minister of Petroleum, Chairman of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and Head of State. Where can our youths get such opportunity today?

“Under his watch as Minister of Petroleum, N2.8 billion went missing from the accounts of the NNPC in Midlands Bank in the United Kingdom. That N2.8 billion as at that time is like $2.8 billion (over N1 trillion) now and here is he insulting the youths whose existence his likes mortgaged.”

While telling the President to stop de-marketing Nigeria and its people in foreign lands, Governor Fayose reminded Nigerians how he (Buhari) said in an interview with UK Telegraph in February 2016 that some Nigerians in the United Kingdom were disposed to criminality and should not be granted asylum there.

The governor, who insisted that the negative foundation the likes of President Buhari laid for Nigeria has made life impossible for the youths, asked; “As Military Governor of the North Eastern State, what difference did President Buhari make in the lives of youths in the North?”

He described Buhari as an analogue President, saying; “There is no connection between him and the youths because I doubt if he can even use common android phone. One can’t really blame the President; he does not understand what is obtainable in the country anymore. That’s the reason he was still seeing West Germany and Deutschmark in 2015.”

Urging the youths to use their votes to send President Buhari out of office in 2019, Governor Fayose said; “I did say before now that majority of the youths that voted for President Buhari in 2015 never knew who they were voting for because they did not experience him (Buhari) as a Military ruler. Most of them were those that were born in the 80s and they did not witness Buhari’s clueless and draconian government.

“Now that our youths have seen President Buhari and he has top his cluelessness up by going to London to insult them by calling them lazy and uneducated people, they should be prepared to vote against him next year and installed a President that will value and respect them.”

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday lambasted Nigerian youths in London.

Buhari said most Nigerian youths want everything free without doing anything.

Speaking at the Commonwealth Business Forum in Westminster, Buhari said youths prefer to do nothing because they feel Nigeria is an oil-rich nation.

According to Buhari, a lot of Nigerian youths have not been to school, yet they want everything free.

He said, “About the economy, we have a very young population, our population is estimated conservatively to be 180 million. This is a very conservative one.

“More than 60 percent of the population is below 30, a lot of them haven’t been to school and they are claiming that Nigeria is an oil producing country, therefore, they should sit and do nothing, and get housing, healthcare, education for free.”

Christianity Etc › 2019 Buhari's Friends Are Not Telling Him The Truth — Okogie by engineerboat(op): 8:19am On Apr 17, 2018
The general opinion of Nigerians, going by what I have been reading in newspapers, is that he (President Buhari) has not done well.


ARCHBISHOP Emeritus of Lagos, Anthony Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie, has cautioned politicians he says are manipulating President Muhammadu Buhari to seek re-election next year to take time to gauge the mood of the nation or risk plunging Nigeria into an “unnecessary revolution”.


Okogie, however, affirmed the prerogative of any human being to aspire to be anything in life, saying, “Every citizen of Nigeria has the freewill to do whatever he or she desires to do. So, as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he can hearken to the voices of people to aspire to any height.

“But I know that the voice of the people is the voice of God. And I can tell that the general opinion of Nigerians, going by what I have been reading in newspapers, is that he (President Buhari) has not done well. And for him to come from such background and wants to re-contest for another four-year mandate is absolutely left to him”.


Cardinal Okogie
He went on, “But just as he (President Buhari) has the freewill, the people of this country also have the freewill to elect according to their conscience. Like I said, the popular assessment of his performance in the last three years is dismal and the generality of the people will prefer that he retires and allow other Nigerians to make their contribution to the nation’s development. “They don’t want to see him in the saddle again because he has performed poorly, but if he wants to force himself there, I don’t know how he will do it….but I can only say good luck.

“You can even see it from the opposition party’s standpoint. For example, the APC has been releasing lists of alleged looters of the nation’s treasury and the opposition party, the PDP, has consistently raised objections, claiming that some members of the ruling party have been, at different occasions, indicted of corruption, but, up till now, the APC is yet to respond. PDP had asked very salient questions bordering on the so-called list of alleged looters but what has been the response from the APC? The PDP has made very weighty allegations but they not responded. If they are convinced of their anti-corruption war, they should openly respond to the questions raised on the alleged looters lists. But so far, there has been no reply from the APC.

“I hope they are assuming that Nigerians are sleeping. For example, there are various opinion articles in newspapers, I have sent out a couple to the media which have been published but what has been the response to them? Nothing! Nobody has said a word about all that I have written about in the last couple of months. I want them to react; but thus far, there is no reaction.

“I am not a politician, but I can say to you now, that politics in this country has changed drastically. It’s no longer what it used to be. No! Those days are gone for ever. For example, when the former Defence Minister, Gen, Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma, threw the gauntlet and urged Nigerians to defend themselves when they come under attack by these mindless insurgents, majority of Nigerians supported that call because it reflected the mind-set of the vast majority of the people.

“These people, on a daily basis and here and there, are suffering and being killed and our President is not saying anything. The holy book urges us to love our neighbours….are the people being killed on a daily basis not our neighbours? Check the newspapers on a daily basis, there are reports of killing of innocent Nigerians in different parts of the country and the President will not say a word.

“Let me tell here and now, if he gets there (re-election) by hook or crook, people will revolt. Mark my word! Even if he wins, people will revolt and Nigeria will not be comfortable with him anymore. Nigeria has changed. It’s no longer a country of yes, yes. No! Not anymore. There will be revolution. Even if he puts somebody they don’t like, they will not accept”.

The conversation continued:

But there are Nigerians who believe there is no alternative to President Buhari. Do you agree?

How can I agree? That is not true. They are flatterers. If we put any other Nigerian in power, he will perform. Why did President Buhari not back the calls from different parts of the country for restructuring? Why? They know what they are doing, but I tell you Nigeria is not for one person or for one region. Nigeria is for us all. I am not a politician but every Nigerian can read me. Like I said, Nigeria has changed. Did Olusegun Obasanjo not desire to have a third term in office? Did he not fail?

What is your advice to Nigerians at this point?

I don’t know. But like everybody is advising, people should go out and register and make sure they vote when the opportunity comes to elect the next President, but the problem is that you know the kind of Nigerians we have. I have said it, even if he wins tomorrow, he will not be comfortable in the seat, because, number one, most Nigerians will query how he got there. From what I am seeing now, a time will come when people will be killing themselves like chicken. And I think the time is here with us already. Look at what is happening in Borno, Benue, Taraba among other places in the country….and Buhari has not said a word!

My last letter or if you like call it opinion, entitled, We Are Watching And Waiting!, that statement is a powerful statement. We warned them in our last write ups, that Nigerians are no fools. We are no fools. Nigerians are no longer fools. He should be careful because Nigerians are no longer fools. Can you hear Gov. Nasir El-Rufai shouting again? What of all members of the cabal?

I took time to read the piece, and I can say he is saying the truth.
Under Obasanjo, Yar Adua, and, Jonathan oil prices were high, looting was done with careless abandon, to the extent that Okonjo the finance minister said that Nigeria should brace themselves for recession, but we ignored her since there was money aplenty in the land.
The recession coincide with the arrival of Buhari, and we are quick to blame him as the source of the recession, while giving Jonathan a pat on the back.
Buhari is no saint, I don't like him, but I refuse to blame him whenever he blame the past PDP administration of putting us were we are now.
Nigerians should start using their brain, until we throw party loyalty aside and votevfer candidates based on credibility, Nigeria can never move forward.
Was it the last admin that
1. Increase bag of rice from 7000 to 18000
