ichidodo:Then let's say Dangote is the smartest and luckiest Nigerian who used his golden spoon and opportunities well. Who wouldn't? Let all those condemning him convince us that they would personally reject such rare opportunities were it presented before them. Some are obviously unhappy because of where he comes from, because of jealousy, envy or even hatred. One thing is certain: Dangote played by the rules that's why he was able to monopolize and knock out wuru-wuru and get rich quick businessmen. |
free2ryhme:Then tell us the truth or shut up. |
This exercise is one sided and politicized. Are Nigerians only in the south? We will call on the new government to look into this partial scholarship scheme. |
The Hideout Of Abubakar Shekau Remains A Mirage It’s been months since Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, pledged allegiance to Islamic State (IS), early in March, ever since critics have questioned where the Islamist sect leader has been. The unusual quietness from the vociferous Shekau have made security officials to speculate whether the group doesn’t have the luxury of issuing threats. Abubakar Shekau One military source told PRNigeria that since the Army final push against the insurgents in the middle of February and order to clear all the boko haram camps before May 29 handover date, the Nigerian troops have been on the lookout for Shekau and other commanders of the sect. http://www.naij.com/426973-where-is-shekau-critics-review.html |
10 Secrets Of How Aliko Dangote Made His Billions Africa’s richest man Alhaji Aliko Dangote is the most successful businessman of the continent. His business is presented in a lot of countries. As of January 2015, Dangote had an estimated net worth of US$18.6 billion.He made his fortune is cement, sugar and flour. In April 2014, months before oil prices plunged, he announced $9 billion in financing from a consortium of local and international lenders to construct a private oil refinery and fertilizer and petrochemical complex in the country. In August 2014 he said he would invest $1 billion in commercial rice farming and modern rice mills. His publicly traded Dangote Cement is also grabbing new markets in Africa, with $750 million in new plants planned for Kenya and Niger. His net worth tumbled from $25 billion in February 2014 as a result of a weaker Nigerian currency and a drop in demand for cement. He made his first fortune more than three decades ago when he started trading commodities with a loan from his powerful uncle. Nigerianbulletin reviews some of his financial secrets: 1. He once worked for someone Dangote worked for his uncle, Sani Dangote. He served his master diligently. He acted in accordance to the statement which says if you must lead, you must serve. It was while working for his uncle that he gathered experience, skills and confidence. 2. He took a loan to start his business Aliko Dangote started his business with the NGN 500,000 loan he took from his uncle/master. He approached his uncle in 1977 and told him about his plan to establish a business outfit and his uncle gave him the loan to start the business. However, he was given a three-month-deadline and he repaid the loan in three months. 3. He kicked off his business by trading in commodities Sugar, rice, pasta, salt, cotton, millet, cocoa, textile and vegetable oil were the commodities he started his business with. He was importing these commodities into Nigeria. 4. He developed a strong distribution network Since production is not complete until the goods reach the final consumer, Dangote developed a strong distribution channel that made his goods delivered faster than his competitors’ goods. 5. He leaped from importation to manufacturing After some years in his importation business, Aliko Dangote transformed into a producer of products he was importing. In one of his statements, he revealed that changing from an importer to a manufacturer has so far been his best move. The move produced Dangote Group, an organization that controls over 13 companies. 6. He built a brand Dangote built a vibrant brand for his business. He corroborated this during an interview by saying “to succeed in business, you must build a brand and never destroy it. One competitive advantage I had when I ventured into manufacturing was my brand (Dangote), which I diligently built in the course of my trading.” 7. He sells cheap quality products In his mission to gain the loyalty of his customers, Dangote started selling his competitive products at cheaper rates compared to his competitors’ rates. 8. He had a big breakthrough Dangote’s networking skills and ability to make unprecedented connections made him record the major breakthrough he needed for the prosperity of his business. His break through emerged when he acquired the license to import cement. 9. He works pretty hard As an astute businessman, Alhaji Aliko Dangote spends most of his time strategizing and brainstorming on how to grow his business. Reports have it that he sleeps by 2:00 am and wakes up by 5:00 am everyday. Can you beat that? 10. He obeys the laws of the land Unlike other cunning businessmen, Dangote is an upright man as far as abiding by the rules and regulations governing the ethics of business are concerned. He keeps his credit records as well as his tax records tidy and he preaches that business should be done as stipulated by the regulatory bodies. http://www.naij.com/426890-wealth-secrets-of-aliko-dangote.html |

According to Frontiernews.com, as soon as Buhari emerged as President-elect, the DSS moved to replace his CSO, but the move was opposed by the Daura-born retired General Buhari. He insisted on retaining his present CSO, AbdulRahman Mani. READ ALSO: Mark Congratulates Buhari, Commends Jonathan The Director-General of the DSS was said to have gone to Buhari to explain to him that based on his new status , he was deserved o a higher ranked official. Buhari however insisted on Mani, telling the DG that there was nothing wrong in promoting Mani to the next rank to enable him qualify for a job he is already used to doing. Accordingly and in line with the request of the President-elect, the DG left and returned the following day with a letter approving the appointment of Mani as the substantive CSO to General Buhari. http://www.naij.com/426910-buhari-dss-disagrees-over-his-private-security.html |

President Goodluck Jonathan has defended his decision to concede defeat to Muhammadu Buhari in the March 28 election, saying he was concerned about allowing his personal ambition scuttle a democratic system he helped nurtured, with the likely consequence of a "collective tragedy". Mr. Jonathan said Thursday that he needed to check his ambition, as the consequences of not doing so may have been dire not only for Nigeria, but Africa. The president made the remarks during separate meetings with the new ambassadors of France, Senegal and Ethiopia. He was responding to commendations for his decision to promptly accept defeat after it became clear Mr. Buhari had won the polls. "Democracy has to be nurtured to grow. Strong democratic institutions are the backbone and future of our democracy. They must be protected and nurtured. As for me, as a matter of principle, it is always the nation first," Mr. Jonathan said. "You need to have a nation before you can have an ambition. It should always be the nation first. You don't have to scuttle national progress for personal ambition. "Since I assumed duty, I have been involved in quelling political crisis in some African countries and I know what they passed through and what some are still going through. If you scuttle a system for personal ambition, it becomes a collective tragedy,’⠀™ President Jonathan declared. Mr. Jonathan urged world leaders and international institutions to give their fullest possible support to the incoming administration of Buhari. He also called on all Nigerians to do their utmost best to help the incoming president succeed in leading the country to greater heights of accomplishment. The president appealed for patience, understanding and cooperation, which, he said, Mr. Buhari will need to move the country forward to greater, peace, security and progress. Speaking with the new French ambassador, Denis Guaer, President Jonathan urged France to extend the support and assistance it gave to his administration to Mr. Buhari’s government. "President Francois Hollande was our guest in Nigeria during the celebration of Nigeria’s centenary. He has been very supportive of the country in the fight against terrorism. I expect that the same warmth and goodwill will be extended to the incoming government. I expect that France will continue to work with the new administration, especially on issues of terrorism. "The United Nations has been supportive as well. Our troops, supported by regional forces, have done very well in fighting the terrorists in recent times. What we need now is support to help our people get back their lives,’’ he said. The ambassadors commended President Jonathan for setting a record of humility, patriotism and courage in safeguarding the democratic process in Nigeria and Africa. "Nigeria is not only an economic power in the world today, but also a great democratic example. And it is all by your effort, Mr. President. The last elections and your response was truly a great achievement and you will always be remembered for it," the French ambassador told the President. Mr. Guaer, the new Ambassador of Senegal, Baboucar Sambe, and the new Ambassador of Ethiopia, Samia Zekaria Gutu, who were at the Presidential Villa to present their letters of credence to President Jonathan, also assured him that they will do their best to strengthen relations between Nigeria and their countries during their tenure. http://dailyafricagist.com/discussion/3193/Headlines |
Abuja – United States has spoken of its readiness to support President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, to rescue the over 200 girls seized by Boko Haram militants from Chibok school in Borno State one year ago. American Vice President, Joe Biden, gave the renewed assurance in a telephone chat with Buhari in Abuja while congratulating him on his electoral victory. The support, according to US Vice President, Joe Biden, also includes the fight against Boko Haram. Boko Haram released a new video on claiming to show the missing Nigerian schoolgirls, alleging they had converted to Islam and would not be released until all militant prisoners were freed. A total of 276 girls were abducted on April 14 from the northeastern town of Chibok, in Borno state, which has a sizeable Christian community. Some 223 are still missing. Biden, according to the excerpts from their discussion, which was made available to Diplomatic Correspondents in Abuja, also said his country was ready to expand collaboration with Nigeria in the new dispensation. According to the readout, “Vice President Biden spoke with Nigerian President-elect Muhammadu Buhari to congratulate him on his victory in the recent Nigerian elections and affirm that the United States stands ready to expand collaboration with Nigeria on issues of common concern, including economic and security matters. “The Vice President commended President-elect Buhari for his leadership in helping to ensure the elections were conducted peacefully and urged him to continue to foster a smooth, inclusive, and peaceful transition with President Jonathan. “The Vice President expressed the United States’ support for Nigeria’s efforts to counter Boko Haram, recover hostages held by the group, and protect civilian populations. The Vice President also expressed the willingness of the United States to partner more closely with Nigeria to strengthen its economy, the excerpts said.” www.vanguardngr.com |
Walks out Customs, NSCDC bosses. Per Second News---The president elect has issued a red card to serving top government officials who in recent times besieged his residence in Daura, Katsina to lobby for retention of their positions. Buhari, was livid last week when the current Comptroller-General of Customs, Abdullahi Dikko Inde, visited his residence in Daura to pay homage. Per Second News learnt that the customs boss who coincidentally hails from, Musawa Local Government Area, Katsina state immediately after informing the President-Elect of his mission was advised to go back to his duty post. Dikko, shocked by Buhari's response tried unsuccessfully to inform the retired General of the situation at all Nigeria's borders, seaport and the airports, but the President-elect upbraided the 55 year-old that the ideal procedure is to wait until he has been sworn in as president, describing the visit as unhealthy, unethical and disloyalty to a government he is still serving. He thereafter asked the customs boss to leave his residence, rejecting also his gift items. The Comptroller general and his team hurriedly left the residence, parking the valuables and gifts items along. The visit of the current Commandant-General of the NSCDC, Ade Abolurin, on Sunday was more comical, he arrived Daura, the residence of the President-Elect with top officers of the corps, photographers and some members of the press. According to a member of the Buhari Campaign from Katsina, "The President-Elect was having his normal quiet time when the delegation arrived". The corps officers led by its commandant were left outside in the scorching sun for over an hour, before the the commandant and two corps officers were allowed entry into the President-elect's visitors room Abolurin, still recuperating from a fire burn incident got the shock of his life when an aide of Buhari, said that the retired General wants him out of his residence and will not be seeing him. Dumbfounded the corps officers left in a haste to the surprise of other delegation members outside, who were waiting and hoping to see the president-elect and take photographs with him. Per Second News can authoritatively report that a serving minister last week also sent emissaries to the president-elect in a bid to secure a private meeting. Private business tycoons are not left out of the visits, Forte Oil CEO, Femi Otedola, and Oando boss Adewale Tinubu also visited Buhari last week. The national leader of the APC, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, shortly before the governorship elections brought the Chagoury brothers to meet with the president-elect in a closed door meeting. Per Second News gathered that the deluge of top current serving government officials and visitors reaching out to General Buhari at this material time has turned his Daura home to a new Mecca. http://www.persecondnews.com/index.php/component/k2/item/3359-buhari-to-current-serving-government-officials-stay-away-from-my-residencewalks-out-customs-nscdc-boss |
Gbawe:What these bigots believe was that Jonathan will forcibly rig the elections and serve his third term. Then the leadership will be forcibly handed over to them in 2015. Dreamers! |
You are an enemy of Nigeria. A looser. |
1. He is a zoologist and as such he lacks the mastery of the laws of power. His inexperience in governance and intricacies of Nigerian politics made him fell prey to bad advisers. 2. He surrounded himself with psychopaths, mischievous and dubious people- Femi Fani Kayode, Reuben Abati, Labaran Maku, Asari Dokubo, Olisa Metuh and etc. 3. Making E. C. Clarke his adviser in-chief. This elder is solely responsible for poisoning the president's mind to believe that Boko Haram was intentionally created by the north, and sponsored by Buhari, Atiku and IBB, "to make the country ungovernable" for him. That it's a northern problem and a case of dog eating dog. 4. His mismanagement of Boko Haram crisis. He said that there were Boko Haram in his cabinet, he denied the kidnap of Chibok girls, refused to show care and emphaty to victims of Boko Haram , refugees and the internally displaced. 5. His believe that stealing is not corruption. He runs the most corrupt and wasteful government in Nigeria ever. 6. His ambitious and commanding wife. She pitched him against Rotimi Amaechi and several others. She was not behind his success rather she contributed for his defeat. 7. Jonathan and Jonathanians over estimate the power of incumbency. They also overestimate the power of money 8. He chased away statesmen and potential good advisers away from him. His psychopaths did and he never one day called any of them to order. 9. He runs a divisive and sectional government, that portrays him as Ijaw president, that sought to pitch the south against the north, the Christians against Muslims. 10. The brazen and blatant rigging of the Nigerian Governors Forum election that led to the balkanization of the forum, massive defection of some Governors/Reps/Senators from his party to the APC. 11.He burned bridges and pulled ladders that he used to get to where he is. 12. The appointment of Femi Fani Kayode as his campaign DG. His trillion naira campaign was badly managed and messed up that it got him more opponents than votes. His visits to IBB, Winners Chapel and Shagari etc. 13. The damage caused his campaign by Mama Peace and governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State and incessant malign against BUHARI as their campaign agenda. 14. Jonathan is adjudged to be the most lying president of Nigeria ever. From knowing the sponsors of Boko Haram to the Eagle Square bombing saga. 15. His overestimating the efficacy and effectiveness of the several hired Internet warriors on Facebook, Nairaland , Twitter and online media. 16. His kinsmen's braggish, threatening and insulting nature and their myopic view of Nigerian politics and geography. 17. His not realising that the northern Governors that rigged Buhari out in 2011 are no longer in his camp. So it was not business as usual. There are of course many more reasons why Jonathan is going back to Otuoke( abi na UK or Kenya?) come May 29, 2015. Please add yours to complete the list. |

HERE ARE 10 MIND BOGGLING FACTS ABOUT HUMAN BRAIN!! 1. Nerve impulses to and from the brain travel as fast as 170 miles per hour. Ever wonder how you can react so fast to things around you or why that stubbed toe hurts right away? It’s due to the super-speedy movement of nerve impulses from your brain to the rest of your body and vice versa, bringing reactions at the speed of a high powered luxury sports car. 1. The brain operates on the same amount of power as 10-watt light bulb. The cartoon image of a light bulb over your head when a great thought occurs isn’t too far off the mark. Your brain generates as much energy as a small light bulb even when you’re sleeping. 3. The human brain cell can hold 5 times as much information as the Encyclopedia Britannica. Or any other encyclopedia for that matter. Scientists have yet to settle on a definitive amount, but the storage capacity of the brain in electronic terms is thought to be between 3 or even 1,000 terabytes. The National Archives of Britain, containing over 900 years of history, only takes up 70 terabytes, making your brain’s memory power pretty darn impressive. 4. Your brain uses 20% of the oxygen that enters your bloodstream. The brain only makes up about 2% of our body mass, yet consumes more oxygen than any other organ in the body, making it extremely susceptible to damage related to oxygen deprivation. So breathe deep to keep your brain happy and swimming in oxygenated cells. 5. The brain is much more active at night than during the day. Logically, you would think that all the moving around, complicated calculations and tasks and general interaction we do on a daily basis during our working hours would take a lot more brain power than, say, lying in bed. Turns out, the opposite is true. When you turn off your brain turns on. Scientists don’t yet know why this is but you can thank the hard work of your brain while you sleep for all those pleasant dreams. 6. Scientists say the higher your I.Q. the more you dream. While this may be true, don’t take it as a sign you’re mentally lacking if you can’t recall your dreams. Most of us don’t remember many of our dreams and the average length of most dreams is only 2-3 seconds–barely long enough to register. 7. Neurons continue to grow throughout human life. For years scientists and doctors thought that brain and neural tissue couldn’t grow or regenerate. While it doesn’t act in the same manner as tissues in many other parts of the body, neurons can and do grow throughout your life, adding a whole new dimension to the study of the brain and the illnesses that affect it. 8. Information travels at different speeds within different types of neurons. Not all neurons are the same. There are a few different types within the body and transmission along these different kinds can be as slow as 0.5 meters/sec or as fast as 120 meters/sec. 9. The brain itself cannot feel pain. While the brain might be the pain center when you cut your finger or burn yourself, the brain itself does not have pain receptors and cannot feel pain. That doesn’t mean your head can’t hurt. The brain is surrounded by loads of tissues, nerves and blood vessels that are plenty receptive to pain and can give you a pounding headache. 10. 80% of the brain is water. Your brain isn’t the firm, gray mass you’ve seen on TV. Living brain tissue is a squishy, pink and jelly-like organ thanks to the loads of blood and high water content of the tissue. So the next time you’re feeling dehydrated get a drink to keep your brain hydrated. http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/2012/07/10-unbelievable-facts-about-human-brain.html

ABUJA- PEOPLES Democratic Party, PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, PDPPCO yesterday asked the All Progressives Congress (APC) to tell Nigerians whether or not its presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari was considering the request of some foreign nations to scrap our anti-gay laws and allow same-sex marriage designed to secure their support. According to PDP, giving this information to Nigerians was more important than issues that have been raised as a consequence of Morocco’s withdrawal of their Ambassador from Nigeria. In a statement yesterday by the Director, Media and Publicity of PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani- Kayode, the PDP said, “Our attention has been drawn to the unpatriotic stance of the APC on the issues that have been raised as a consequence of Morocco’s withdrawal of their Ambassador from Nigeria. “It is very unfortunate that rather than join hands with the Federal Government and endeavor to stand shoulder to shoulder with their compatriots and their country when it comes to the conduct of international affairs, the APC are always ready to assume the worst about their government and about their President. “Our counsel to them is to grow up, get real and stop playing politics with such sensitive matters that border on the interest and credibility of our nation and our people. If they want a clarification about the Moroccan affair, they ought to go through the appropriate channels and perhaps attempt to reach our Foreign Minister in order to find out what really happened. “That is the proper and responsible thing to do. They do not need to make a song and dance about the whole thing and they certainly should not try to gain political mileage out of it or join forces with those from outside our shores that do not wish Nigeria or the Nigerian people well. “We are fully aware of their obvious and pronounced intellectual limitations when it comes to such matters; yet, regardless of that, they must always endeavor to remember that we are, first and foremost, Nigerians and regardless of whichever side of the political divide we find ourselves or whichever political party we belong to, we must always seek to protect our nation’s interest before anything else. “For the APC to even begin to assume that it is true that our President or any of our government officials lied in this episode with the King of Morocco and for them to so readily accept the suggestion that we have done anything wrong or that we have somehow misled our people about what actually transpired speaks volumes. “Our President is certainly not a liar. The only liars here are the APC and their perfidious and conflicted spokesman, Lai Mohammed. Our President and our government have done Nigeria proud when it comes to the conduct of foreign affairs over the last few years and when it comes to building bridges with other nations. This is particularly so when it comes to our relationship with other African countries. “Our military collaboration with the nations of Chad, Niger and the Cameroons in the fight against Boko Haram and the great successes that we are jointly recording in that bitter fight is a glaring testimony to that. “Any Nigerian or any Nigerian political party that joins hands with foreigners to denigrate our nation, to belittle our foreign policy, to undermine our credibility in the comity of nations or to work against our country’s vital core interests by assuming the worst about the conduct of our foreign affairs is simply a traitor and is not worthy of being called a Nigerian. “Once again, the APC has shown, by their plea for a clarification on this matter, that they are a party that simply cannot possibly comprehend or grasp the complexities of national leadership or the conduct of foreign affairs. “They have proved that they will always put their own personal and narrow party interests before the interests of our people and our nation. The basic lesson that they need to learn is this: in a time of war, you do not join hands with foreign governments or foreign kings to undermine the interest of your nation or to denigrate your President. “Instead of talking about the King of Morocco and who spoke to who, the APhould tell us whether it is true that their presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, in response to a request from some western countries, is considering scrapping the anti-gay laws in our country and pushing through legislation that would allow same sex marriage. “We are far more interested in that than in the King of Morocco because if it is true that that is what they are planning, it would be a reflection of their moral depravity as a party and it would be a negation of our values as a God-fearing nation.”. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/03/our-president-is-certainly-not-a-liar-fani-kayode/ |
