I think you're very correct with your scoop. You can add the link below to your OP to make folks trust it more

Thanks man. Most people don't know that the electronic media, including the radio, is the hottest source of fresh news.

arewafederation:
The guy was too close to PMB not to have a political appointment.

I always knew PMB had good reasons for not making LJ minister.

Your reasoning is a confirmation that all the ministers were screened and cleared- including Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.

goodlifehyd:
Try visiting the link, op is only trying to promote his track with this thread.

I know the consequences of posting fake news on Nairaland! Play that link to anybody that understands hausa. It's the first news after news headlines. Your copy and paste 'journalists' didn't get it yet. That's why we are Nairalanders.

FrontPageLawyer:
Your source is questionable, can't find the news in any other online media.

FYI, Lawal Jafaru Isa is a retired Brigadier General (1 star) and not a Lieutenant General (3 star)

You mean our copy and paste media? They are yet to see it! I know the consequences of posting fake news on Nairaland. Correction noted.

goodlifehyd:
But chill you believe VOA will cool down record their news and upload on soundcloud?? And even if the news was real the headline said right hand man not his ministers nor appointee

You don't seem to know the level to which radio broadcast is taken because you don't listen to the radio. Then know this:
You can actually listen to any broadcast by any of the international radio stations on cloud thirty minutes after the live service. Follow the link provided in the original post and be proved wrong. Lawal Jafar Isa was by any standard a right hand man of Buhari as he was with Buhari through the four elections that he contested.

funlord:


This thread resemble that "eyin omo wobe" thread from last year!!!

Which last year? You are challenged to prove your claim.

phemmie06:
Na PDP be that, abi. It's a pity Metuh is not in the best position to comment but where is Fayose, Mimiko , FFK. Comment let's hear you

No. The man is an original APC man from CPC and a very close confidant of Buhari.

Ayoemrys:

VOA Hausa service today 0600-0630 7th January, 2016.

Where are the wailers?

Retired Brigadier General Lawal Jafar Isa was yesterday arrested by the EFCC in connection with the arms scam involving the Office of National Security Adviser.
You'll recall that Jafar Isa was former military administrator, an original APC chieftain, a member of Buhari’s Transition Committee and was a top contender for a ministerial position.
A report monitored on VOA Hausa Radio Service this morning indicated that he spent the night in the custody of the anti graft agency.

Scam

ZeroTolerance:
Where is the evidence that any money was shared? They just arrest people and start releasing statements to the media without allowing the other party to tell his own part of the story and you zombies swallow everything hool, line and sinker! Is this a surprised that this happened few days after Metuh called Buhari a tyrant and was warned before he repeated it again?

What about the N1.2bn found in his account? How did he earn it?

What about the N1.2bn found in his account?

A 25-year-old Kenyan man from the Kirinyaga County, Leonard Kimotho , caused a stir in his community when he chopped off his own joystick on January 1, 2016, (New Year’s day), in protest for being turned down by the women he was trying to date, reports Tuko.co.ke.

Kimotho, who is said to find it difficult to get a woman for himself, decided to take that drastic step since he believed his manhood was useless to him and as such, should be blamed for his inability to get a woman.

So while others including his friends and family were celebrating the beginning of another year, Kimotho used a sharp knife to cut off his weapon.

His parents quickly summoned a local chief, Emmaculate Njoka , to assess the damage that their son had caused to himself and the distress he had brought them.

“A family from Kiorugari called and informed me their son had chopped off his manhood. They say after secretly performing the act on himself, he rushed out of the house while bleeding profusely.

They carried him and his severed manhood in a polythene bag to hospital. Upon reaching the facility, doctors advised the family to take the victim to Kerugoya Level 4 Hospital since his condition was severe.

The doctors at Kerugoya Level 4 Hospital have said they will try their best to reattach the manhood,” Njoka said.

It is reported that Kimotho, a bachelor, had hoped to be in a relationship but all his efforts to get a girlfriend could not bear fruit, hence his resolve that his manhood was useless if there was no woman who was interested in him.

The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has confirmed officially that taking ‘selfies’ is a mental disturbance.

The disorder is called selfitis, and is defined as the obsessive compulsive desire to take photos of one’s self and post them on social media as a way to make up for the lack of self-esteem and to fill a gap in intimacy.

APA said there are three levels of the disorder:

Borderline selfitis : taking photos of one’s self at least three times a day but not posting them on social media

Acute selfitis: taking photos of one’s self at least three times a day and posting each of the photos on social media

Chronic selfitis: Uncontrollable urge to take photos of one’s self round the clock and posting the photos on social media more than six times a day

According to the APA, while there is currently no cure for the disorder, temporary treatment is available through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT ).

Accused is different from convicted.

ABUJA—Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, yesterday, teamed up with other eminent Nigerians to give President Muhammadu Buhari a robust defence after the president came under criticisms for insisting that the Federal Government would not release former National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki (retd), and the founder of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, despite several court directives to that effect.
Senate Leader, Sen Ali Ndume, former Minister of Transport and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain, Chief Ebenezar Babatope and retired Police Commissioner, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav argued that President Buhari was not dictatorial. They said he was only being serious minded, while the Attorney General said the president was just being a promoter of public interest and not a tyrant.
Speaking with Vanguard, yesterday, in an exclusive interview, Malami described as laughable, allegation by some Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari is a tyrant.
He said that those making the allegation against Buhari were oblivious of the national interest, which the President was protecting. The minister said that what was at stake was a conflict between public and private interest, insisting that there was no way any right-thinking leader would allow individual interest to override the national interest.

PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI
It will be recalled that the Nigerian Bar Association had on Monday lashed out at the president for not heeding two court judgments directing the Department of State Service, DSS, to release both Col. Dasuki and Kanu, who also runs the Biafra Radio and Television.
But Malami said that in all democracies around the world, national interests are always given top priority over individual interests, especially when such individuals had committed heinous crimes against society.
The minister pointed out that both Dasuki and Kanu, who were recently admitted to bail, had committed very serious crimes against the nation and its people and should not be made to appear as victims of any state victimisation.
Malami said: “These people compromised national interest leading to multiple loss of lives and property of innocent Nigerians and are now crying foul that they did nothing wrong.
“Here, when you weigh national interest against individual interest, the latter must naturally give way.
“Are we now saying that the collective national interest should give way for the individual interest of a few people who are working hard to cause more havoc?
“There is no basis whatsoever to profile Mr. President as a tyrant given the fact that what he is doing is rooted in public interest and to advance the well being of the majority of Nigerians as opposed to the protection of a few privileged and powerful individuals.
“What the president is doing is to end the unfortunate regime of impunity which some of these people used to perpetuate injustice, corruption and lawlessness in the land and that does not amount to tyranny,” Malami said.
According to the minister, Buhari’s actions so far derive strength from Section 15 (4-5) of the Nigerian Constitution, which is to fight corruption holistically and give the nation a new lease of life and has nothing to do with tyranny or oppression.
Section 15 (4) says: “The State shall foster a feeling of belonging and of involvement among the various peoples of the federation to the extent that loyalty to the nation shall override sectional loyalties. Sub-section 5 states that “the State shall abolish all corrupt practices and abuse of power.”
Others who came to the defence of the president argued that the president was not dictatorial but a serious minded person who is very focused while he has also been very fair to the opposition. They added that Buhari’s stern commitment towards ensuring probity in the polity was being misconstrued.
He is focused, serious minded—Ndume
Ndume said: “It is not possible to be a dictator in a democratic environment like ours where you have a vibrant opposition. But I will agree if people say President Buhari is a very serious President. We have a very serious President which is a far departure from the past where we had a very funny, unserious and weak President. Now we have a serious President.
“If you accuse him of being a serious President, I will agree with you, but not as a dictator who does not respect rule of law.”
On his part, Datti a close associate of Buhari said the President has not violated any law through the non-release of Dasuki and Kanu.
He said: “Dasuki’s first arrest was based on illegal arms possession before the issue of monies he shared to his PDP cronies came up and some people are saying that Buhari violated the rule of law
“It is only in Nigeria that people will commit heinous crimes of this magnitude and then a few will be calling our President unprintable names”.
“As For Kanu his crime is simply treasonable felony. Releasing him is dangerous as the man needs to be taught a lesson.
“The man imported gadgets into Nigeria using it to destabilise the polity at the same time calling the President a terrorist and you expect the man to be released?
“If his elders can’t teach him a lesson then he should remain where he is to learn better lessons as he was not properly brought up by his parents.”
He has been fair to the opposition —Babatope
Similarly, Babatope said: “With what has been happening regarding the court orders, I will not say he is a dictator. He has been fair enough to allow the opposition have a say at any given time.”
“It does not mean that we should not encourage Buhari to obey court orders because obeying court orders is submitting to the rule of law. And the rule of law is one of the cardinal points in a democracy.”
Buhari is not a dictator—Tsav
Also speaking, Tsav said: ‘’The statement the President made to the effect that Dasuki and Kanu will not be released is unfortunate. As a matter of fact, if I were him I would not have commented on that because some might think that he is interfering with the process of the court. Apart from that he has allowed the courts to do their jobs. Same applies to other institutions of the state that have been performing their duties without interference. Therefore, I don’t think the perception of him having dictatorial tendencies holds water. People don’t know that sometimes some suspects are jailed in their own interest Mr. President is not a dictator.
No one should be above the law—Shettima
Shettima on his part differed saying: “We should not encourage what is happening. If Buhari as the President can undermine the judiciary, it gives me a lot of worry and concern. He should not be seen to be higher than our institution, what we should be looking at is for our institutions to be strengthened. Due process must be followed. If a court of law gives an order, that order must be obeyed. Investigations must be carried out and if the court finds anyone guilty such a fellow must be convicted.”

Committee members normally travel by bus since they conduct their oversight functions in groups. Why buy cars. Committee work is not full time jobs that require intensive vehicular trips; so what happened to the vehicles purchased by the last Assembly?

I wonder.

SPECIAL REPORT: Inside the massive money laundering in Nigeria’s National Assembly
--------------
Our Investigations, spanning weeks, revealed that between 2009 and 2015, the management arm of the National Assembly, led by the Clerk, Salisu Maikasuwa, his predecessor, Yemi Ogunyomi, and their representatives, extensively violated the Money Laundering Act (2004, 2011) in banking transactions leading to the withdrawals of about N42 billion of public funds.

Some lawmakers were also involved. See everyone involved in the crime and how much they withdrew. Read full report below:

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/investigationspecial-reports/195920-special-report

President Muhammadu Buhari was not properly informed about the worth of vehicles to be purchased for committees’ of the National Assembly, minority leader of the House of Reps, Leo Ogor has said.
The president had said on Wednesday during his maiden media chat that there was no way members of the National Assembly would purchase vehicles for themselves worth over N40 billion after collecting car loans.
Daily Trust had reported on Wednesday that the 109 senators and 360 members of the lower chamber would get a vehicle each after collecting car loans a few weeks after their inauguration in June.
But speaking to journalists in Abuja, Ogor said that: “I think someone somewhere misled the president and wanted to set him against the National Assembly, or set the Nigerian public against lawmakers.”
He said although vehicles were usually bought for committees’ oversight functions, there was nothing like car loan, explaining that what they collected was “car allowance, which was paid over the period of four years, and which even the president himself is entitled to based on the provision of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission Act.”
The House minority leader said a proposal to buy cars for committees cannot be more than N4 billion, stressing N40 billion is about 40 percent of the National Assembly’s annual budget.
Ogor explained that the cars the National Assembly usually buys are not “exotic vehicles” but “rugged” ones that can travel to any part of the country.
Similarly, House spokesman, Abdulrazak Namdas, denied yesterday that lawmakers were given any car loans, saying the cars they have proposed to were for committee.

A Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed January 5, 2016 for the trial of former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Haliru Mohammed Bello and his son, Abba.
The date was fixed due to an undisclosed illness which the former PDP chairman is being treated for in a hospital in Abuja.
Mohammed and his son are standing trial alongside BAM projects and Properties Ltd on a four count criminal charge for allegedly collecting N600 million from the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd).
The duo were to be docked on Tuesday before Justice Ahmed Ramat Mohammed, but the prosecution informed the court earlier that the former PDP chairman was on admission in an Abuja hospital for an undisclosed illness.
Mohammed and his son were part of those indicted in the N31 billion funds meant for the purchase of arms to fight the Boko Haram insurgents, which the Office of the National Security Adviser distributed to some PDP stalwarts for the 2015 election campaign.
A former Minister of State for Finance, Bashir Yuguda, currently on trial in two separate courts had, in a statement, admitted paying about N300 million into the account of BAM Properties which was reportedly provided by Haliru Mohammed.
Abba Mohammed is alleged to have received N600 million from NSA office in the name of BAM Properties but the reason for the transfer of the money to the company was not disclosed.
The EFCC has already arrested and arraigned many top officials and companies related to the previous administration for receiving large payments from the NSA from the funds set aside for the procurement of arms to tackle Boko Haram.

Yes, lets imagine a world WITHOUT MUSLIMS, shall we?

Without Muslims you wouldn’t have:

Coffee
Cameras
Experimental Physics
Chess
Soap
Shampoo
Perfume/spirits
Irrigation
Crank-shaft, internal combustion engine, valves, pistons
Combination locks
Architectural innovation (pointed arch -European Gothic cathedrals adopted this technique as it made the building much stronger, rose windows, dome buildings, round towers, etc.)
Surgical instruments
Anesthesia
Windmill
Treatment of Cowpox
Fountain pen
Numbering system
Algebra/Trigonometry
Modern Cryptology
3 course meal (soup, meat/fish, fruit/nuts)
Crystal glasses
Carpets
Checks
Gardens used for beauty and meditation instead of for herbs and kitchen.
University
Optics
Music
Toothbrush
Hospitals
Bathing
Quilting
Mariner’s Compass
Soft drinks
Pendulum
Braille
Cosmetics
Plastic surgery
Calligraphy
Manufacturing of paper and cloth
It was a Muslim who realized that light ENTERS our eyes, unlike the Greeks who thought we EMITTED rays, and so invented a camera from this discovery.

It was a Muslim who first tried to FLY in 852, even though it is the Wright Brothers who have taken the credit.

It was a Muslim by the name of Jabir ibn Hayyan who was known as the founder of modern Chemistry. He transformed alchemy into chemistry. He invented: distillation, purification, oxidation, evaporation, and filtration. He also discovered sulfuric and nitric acid.

It is a Muslim, by the name of Al-Jazari who is known as the father of robotics.

It was a Muslim who was the architect for Henry V’s castle.

It was a Muslim who invented hollow needles to suck cataracts from eyes, a technique still used today.

It was a Muslim who actually discovered inoculation, not Jenner and Pasteur to treat cowpox. The West just brought it over from Turkey

It was Muslims who contributed much to mathematics like Algebra and Trigonometry, which was imported over to Europe 300 years later to Fibonnaci and the rest.

It was Muslims who discovered that the Earth was round 500 years before Galileo did.

The list goes on………..

Just imagine a world without Muslims. Now I think you probably meant, JUST IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT TERRORISTS. And then I would agree, the world would definitely be a better place without those pieces of filth. But to hold a whole group responsible for the actions of a few is ignorant and racist. No one would ever expect Christians or White people to be held responsible for the acts of Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma bombing) or Andreas Brevik (Norway killing), or the gun man that shot Congresswoman Giffords in head, wounded 12 and killed 6 people, and rightly so because they had nothing to do with those incidents! Just like the rest of the 1.5 billion Muslims have nothing to do with this incident!
