PoliticsWe’re Not Funding B’haram, Chad Envoy Tells BBOG by Franchise21(op): 10:24am On Dec 04, 2014
The Chadian Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Isah Braimah, has
absolved his country of funding or arming the Boko Haram
insurgents and asked the #BringBackOurGirls coalition
members, who visited his mission on Wednesday in Abuja, to
meet the Federal Government for answers on the abducted
Chibok girls.
The envoy stated that his country had no inkling of the
whereabouts of the over 200 Chibok girls who were abducted by
the Boko Haram sect in April, 2014, stressing that it was only
the Nigerian government that should be held responsible for the
rescue of the schoolgirls.
Some members of the BBOG had stormed the Chadian embassy
located at Maitama, Abuja, on Wednesday with banners, asking
the Chadian government to explain its roles in the insurgency in
the North-East.
They also demanded a response to a media report that a close
ally of the Chadian President had been arrested by Cameroonian
gendarmes, with lethal arms meant for Boko Haram.
The leader of the BBOG members, Aisha Yesufu, who led four
representatives of the movement to the meeting with the
ambassador, quoted Braimah as saying that Chad was not
supporting Boko Haram insurgents in its war against Nigeria.
According to Yesufu, the envoy accused the Nigeria Police
Force of dragging the name of his county in the mud by alleging
that it arrested a Chadian with arms. Yesufu said Braimah
challenged the police to provide evidence of Chadian
involvement in the terrorism in Nigeria.
The BBOG leader, who briefed other coalition members after the
meeting outside the Chadian embassy gate, stated that the
ambassador could not provide satisfactory answers to many
questions that were posed to him on the Boko Haram
insurgency and his nation’s questionable roles.
“The ambassador said the way Chadians practised Islam is
different from Nigeria because Muslims co-exist peacefully with
others. He said we should meet our government for answers on
the Chibok girls and denied that his country was supporting or
sponsoring Boko Haram,” Yesufu explained.
She said that the group was advised to send a letter to President
Idris Deby of Chad, who would be expected to give a detailed
response to the BBOG’s inquiries.
Yesufu added that her movement would also send a letter to
President Goodluck Jonathan, as advised by the envoy, to
demand an update on the efforts being made to rescue the
Chibok girls who had been in Boko Haram captivity for seven
months.
Earlier, the BBOG campaigners had a tough time entering the
embassy, as stern-looking policemen and women from the FCT
Police Command manned the embassy gate, thinking the
campaigners wanted to foment trouble.
But an embassy official discussed with the leaders of the BBOG
and it was agreed that only five members would be allowed to
have a meeting with the ambassador.

PoliticsNigeria Now 39th Most Corrupt Nation, Says TI by Franchise21(op): 10:15am On Dec 04, 2014
The global corruption watchdog, Transparency International,
has ranked Nigeria as the 39th most corrupt nation in the world.
According to the Corruption Perception Index 2014 released on
Wednesday, Nigeria scored 27 out of a maximum 100 marks to
clinch the 136th position out of the 175 countries surveyed for
the report.
Nigeria appeared to have improved by eight points against its
2013 rating of 144th of 175 countries last year.
It will be recalled that the Transparency International Corruption
Perception Index ranked Nigeria 35th most corrupt nation in the
world in 2012.
A statement issued by the Transparency International noted that
more than two thirds of the 175 countries in the 2014 Corruption
Perceptions Index scored below 50, on a scale from 0
(perceived to be highly corrupt) to 100 (perceived to be very
clean).
Denmark is the least corrupt nation in the world, ranking first
out of the 175 countries surveyed while North Korea and
Somalia are the most corrupt nations of the world.
The Transparency International said while top performer,
Denmark, had strong rule of law, support for civil society and
clear rules governing the behaviour of those in public positions,
it also set an example by announcing plans to create a public
register, such as beneficial ownership information for all
companies incorporated in Denmark.
This measure, according to the corruption watchdog, will make
it harder for the corrupt to hide behind companies registered in
another person’s name.
Botswana comes top as the least corrupt nation in Africa,
ranking 31st least corrupt globally while South Africa is ranked
67th.
Transparency International Chairman, José Ugaz, in a
statement on the TI website, said countries at the bottom
needed to adopt radical anti-corruption measures in favour of
their people.
“The 2014 Corruption Perceptions Index shows that economic
growth is undermined and efforts to stop corruption fade when
leaders and high level officials abuse power to appropriate
public funds for personal gain,” Ugaz said.
According to Ugaz, countries at the top of the index should
make sure they do not export corrupt practices to
underdeveloped countries.
“The biggest falls were in Turkey (-5), Angola, China, Malawi
and Rwanda (all -4). The biggest improvers were Côte d´Ivoire,
Egypt, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (+5) and Afghanistan,
Jordan, Mali and Swaziland (+4),” the statement said.
The anti-corruption group said it was currently running a
campaign to unmask the corrupt, urging the European Union,
the United States and G20 countries to follow Denmark’s lead
and create public registers that would make clear “who really
controls, or is the beneficial owner, of every company.”

PoliticsI’m Most Qualified To Lead Nigeria – Atiku by Franchise21(op): 7:13pm On Dec 02, 2014
A presidential aspirant of the All Progressive Congress, APC,
Atiku Abubakar, has said President Goodluck Jonathan’s
poor leadership was due to a lack of experience.
He said Mr. Jonathan was not qualified to lead Nigeria as a
president.
The former vice president was addressing delegates of the
APC primaries in Jos on Tuesday at his residence.
He said Mr. Jonathan was forced into office and did not
willingly contest the 2011 elections.
Mr. Abubakar said Mr. Jonathan had fallen short of ideas
to govern Nigeria, considering the current security
situation.
“Today, we are suffering all forms of issues as a country,
because we have someone on board, who was not qualified
to vie for the presidency, that is why he is doing what he
is doing, because he did not seek for the position he is
occupying,” Mr. Abubakar said.
He said he was contesting the forthcoming elections to
correct the wrongs in Nigeria.
“Of all those contesting the 2015 presidential election in
Nigeria, I am the most qualified,” he said. “I served Nigeria
eight years as vice president in a democratic government;
who among them has done such, and I am the most
suitable. But I am not desperate. If I was desperate I
should have supported (Olusegun) Obasanjo’s third time
plan, but I rejected the idea, that was why the third term
ambition could not succeed. If I did, all those in
government today, where would they have been?
“Apart from this, I am one of those who fought tooth and
nail for the return of democratic governance in Nigeria.
Some persons lost their lives in the process. I rejected
working in the military era. They offered me various
appointments, but I turned them down.”
Mr. Abubakar appealed to APC members nationwide to
support any APC candidate that would clinch the ticket of
the party’s presidential flag bearer to contest with the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Speaking on governance in Plateau state, the APC
presidential aspirant called on the Plateau electorate to
change the fortune of the state by voting out PDP.
The event was brief as the APC Presidential aspirant
revealed he was rushing to Abuja to be screened on
Tuesday.

PoliticsAnother Twin Blast Rocks Maiduguri Market; Dozens Feared Killed by Franchise21(op): 1:21pm On Dec 01, 2014
Many persons are feared killed in Maiduguri, the Borno
State capital, Monday after two explosions went off at the
Maiduguri main market, where two suicide bombers last
week detonated deadly explosives, killing themselves and
several other people.
The explosions sounded almost one after the other at about
11:20 am.
A witness, Abba Ibrahim, who works as a security guard at
a government hospital near the market, told journalists
that the thunderous blasts caused several traders to
scamper to safety.
“As it is now, people are running for dear lives, so one
cannot confirm to you the extent of damage, but the two
blasts we just heard were too loud that it could cause more
damage than the ones of last week,” he said.
A trader, Dauda Bala, who spoke with journalists on phone
said, “The security and other aid workers are trying to
evacuate the dead and injured persons from the scene of
the explosion…I can’t say how many were killed or injured
but I have seen very many victims dripping with blood,
others with parts of their bodies dismembered by the
blasts”.
Another witness at the market, who gave his name as
Mallam Bashir, said the explosions were caused by two
suspected female suicide bombers.
“The explosions occurred at the area where fowls are being
sold inside the market, very close to the First Bank branch.
Those close enough to the place said it was two girls that
came into the market with the bomb,” said Mr. Bashir, a
used cloth vendor.
The spokesperson of the Borno State Command of the
Nigeria Police, Gideon Jubrin, confirmed the incident but
said details of the incidents were still sketchy.
“Of course we heard the explosions somewhere in town
but it will be too early now to say what actually happened
and what damage was caused by the explosion until much
later,” he said.

Christianity EtcPope Francis Joins Islamic Cleric To Pray In Mosque by Franchise21(op): 7:31pm On Nov 29, 2014
Pope Francis prayed on Saturday on the second day of his visit to Turkey alongside a senior
Islamic cleric in Istanbul’s blue mosque.
The blue mosque, known officially as the Sultanahmet Mosque, opened in 1616 and is the most
famous in Turkey.
Its popular name was a reference to the fine blue Iznik tiles in its main prayer room.
The Vatican City spokesperson described it as a gesture of inter-religious harmony and a joint
“moment of silent adoration” of God.
Pope Francis took off his shoes as he entered the huge mosque before bowing his head in prayer
for several minutes, facing Mecca and standing next to Istanbul’s Grand Mufti Rahmi Yaran.
A similar act by his predecessor Pope Benedict in 2006 drew criticism from conservative Catholics
and some Muslims.
Halil Cil, 24, a hospital worker from Istanbul, said there was need to show respect for each other’s
beliefs.
He said God willing the pope’s visit would help in this respect.
“We want to practice our religion in peace, as we want people to understand Islam,” he said.
“More so we don’t want war. Islam is a religion of peace.
Hundreds of people, many of them tourists, watched from behind police barriers as the pope then
walked to the nearby Aya Sofya museum, once the Christian church Hagia Sophia.
A group of school children waving Turkish and Vatican flags chanted “Long live Pope Francis” in
Italian as the Muslim call to prayer rang out across the Sultanahmet square, the heart of Istanbul’s
historic quarter.
Pope would later in the day, celebrate Mass at the Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Spirit and then
meet the leader of the Orthodox Church, Bartholomew.
Discussions at Bartholomew are expected to focus on healing the schism in the Christian Church in
1054 that divided Rome and Constantinople.
Islamic State insurgents have captured swathes of neighbouring Syria and Iraq, persecuting and
killing Shi’ite Muslims, Christians and others who do not share their ultra-radical brand of Sunni
Islam.

PoliticsI'm Suffering From Failing To Stop Tambuwal From Becoming Speaker: Jonathan by Franchise21(op): 6:06pm On Nov 29, 2014
President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed regrets at his
inability to have a South West politician as Speaker of the
House of Representatives in 2011.
Speaking on Friday at the Yoruba Unity Summit themed:
‘National Development: Wither the Yoruba,’at the Obafemi
Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Mr. Jonathan attributed his
failure to the selfishness of some Yoruba leaders.
In 2011, Aminu Tambuwal, who is from the Northwest, had
defeated Mulikat Akande, a Yoruba from the South West, to
emerge the House Speaker.
President Jonathan said he is still suffering from that
decision by the Lower House.
“One of the problems I faced in the National Assembly is
that I felt the right thing should be done because our
party, the PDP, has a formula,” said Mr. Jonathan, who was
the special guest of honour at the event.
“We have six geo-political zones in the country and when
the President emerges from one of the geo-political zones,
the Vice-President emerges from another geo-political zone,
the rest core offices, the Senate President, the Speaker,
Secretary to Federal Government, the chairman of the
party must come from different geo-political zones.
“The idea is that, whenever we are distributing board
positions and some of these appointments, whenever we
are appointing ministers, all these people sit to take
decisions. In that case we want all the geo-political zones
to be in the inner caucus that take critical decisions.
“The last time, it was difficult for me because I insisted
that the Southwest must get the Speaker. Of course, I
couldn’t go through with it because some of us within the
Southwest didn’t want it, based on some personal reasons.
I am still suffering from that till today.”
President Jonathan said that this time around, the party
would work collectively to ensure that the South West gets
whatever is zoned to them.
“People should not rob it from us.”
Mr. Jonathan said that the South-West play a huge role in
Nigeria’s economy, noting that Lagos and Ogun States alone
control 55 percent of the economy.
He added that the contribution of the two states is a reason
he is committed to providing them with infrastructure such
as electricity to help boost the economy.
“With unity, we can go to the moon. The Yoruba will not
be left behind,” he added.
The President also said that there are some
recommendations from the just-concluded national
conference he would not implement immediately to avoid
desperate politicians who are “even ready to kill” from
giving it a partisan colouration.
In his speech, Ayo Fayose, the Ekiti State governor, advised
Mr. Jonathan to always ignore the criticisms of former
President Olusegun Obasanjo, adding that the retired Army
General will never support his re-election bid.
“You know it more than you know me. He will never want
a man with an independent mind. Mr. President, you have
refused to tread the path of unconstitutionality,” Mr.
Fayose said.
“You have refused to level Borno and other states like he
levelled Odi. You have taken your time to respect human
lives by not committing crimes against humanity. He won’t
like that.
“And, Your Excellency, the more you try to curry (favour
of) Obasanjo, the more he will continue to despise you.
“If you continue to curry him, we are not going to curry
him. He doesn’t like people that give him respect. I plead
with Your Excellency. Your second term has been
concluded in heaven. Fear not.”
The Ekiti governor challenged Mr. Obasanjo to explain the
N50 million shared during the third term agenda, adding
that he lacked the moral authority to speak against
corruption.
“I earned less than N300, 000 as governor of Ekiti State
during my first coming. Your Excellency, the donation of
N10 million to Obasanjo Library, what do you call that?
That is corruption,” Mr. Fayose said.
“Go and look for the Code of Conduct, the forms filled by
President Obasanjo and his wealth today. We knew when
he came back from prison. We knew the situation, we
knew his wealth when he came out.
“If you don’t speak each time Obasanjo speaks in the
papers, we must reply him. When people talk and we are
addressing you here, that is not the issue. If he talks again,
we will give him an answer.
“You are not supposed to reply him. You are a complete
gentlemen. Decorum is part of business. We are telling you
again, the moment he says the next one, we will engage
him. This is not a country where after serving your own
tenure, what you cannot take, you are giving it to others.”
