| Webmasters › Mark's Visit To Nigeria: The Disappointment To Nairalanders by Freegift75(op): 5:57am On Sep 04, 2016 |
------------------------------------------------------------- FACEBOOK ON NAIRALAND: The Disappointment ------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Saint Can somebody please explain why Seun Osewa, the CEO of Nairaland was not available at the interaction section with Facebook founder in Lagos? Why was the name "NAIRALAND" never mentioned or recognised during the whole events? Zuckerberg staged a surprise visit to the country's economic capital Lagos on Tuesday and his first stop was a local innovation center and tech hub in Yaba, an area on the mainland of Lagos known as Nigeria's Silicon Valley. There was no fanfare amid tight security and some of those working at the Co-Creation Hub, called CcHUB, didn't even know Zuckberg was coming. He appeared nervous, a little startled even, as he launched into an impromptu speech about why he was there. While he was in Lagos, the 32 year old billionaire visited a number of interesting places and engaged in some exciting activities. Here are a few of the places the tech billionaire went to: The Co-Creation hub One of Zuckerberg’s first stop was a visit to the Co-Creation Hub (CcHub) located in Yaba, the heart of Nigeria’s technology innovation ecosystem. At CcHub, young technologists, social entrepreneurs, tech companies, hackers, and impact investors in and around Lagos co-create new solutions to the many social problems in Nigeria. Zuckerberg met with developers like Temi Giwa who runs Life Bank, a platform that makes blood available when and where it is needed in Nigeria to save lives. The Landmark centre Zuckerberg continued his short tour of Lagos with an appearance at the Landmark Centre, Victoria Island where he spoke about his desire to work with local internet providers to increase internet access to Nigerians. He added that his social media platform was working on services to include more Nigerian languages. He also attended a brief Q and A session where he spoke highly of the city’s entrepreneurial spirit and drive. Andela Facebook CEO made a stop at Andela, a Nigerian start up that recruits talented Africans and shape them into world-class developers through a four-year technical leadership programme. Impressed by the companies’ drive to connect the global technology ecosystem with the most talented developers in Africa, Zuckerberg invested $24 million in the start up earlier this year through the Mark Zuckerberg and Dr. Priscilla Chan’s fund. “His visit reinforces not only his support for Andela’s mission, but his belief that indeed the next generation of great technology leaders will come out of Lagos, Nigeria, and cities across Africa,” said Seni Sulyman, director of Andela Lagos. Afrinolly creative hub Zuckerberg met with some of Nollywood’s biggest stars, and described the Nigerian film industry as a national treasure. “From everything I have heard, it really sounds like a national treasure. The ability to produce content tells the story of amazing innovation of culture that is going on here,” he said while interacting with developers and entrepreneurs. Lekki-Ikoyi bridge Zuckerberg went for a jog along the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge, a popular jogging route on the Island. Eko Hotel and Suites According to reports, the Facebook CEO had interaction with tech professionals in a press conference at the foremost Eko Hotel and Suites. The question is where did SEUN hide himself during the period? It's time for Seun to break the jinx of his Lagbaja life style... An appeal goes to all Seun surbodinates to counsel him on what he needs to know. Dr Saint

https://amebohotnews./2016/08/31/amosun-appoints-igbo-man-as-permanent-secretary-despite-mitigating-forces/ Ogun State Governor Senator Ibikunle Amosun has appointed an Igbo man Mr. Ofor Emmanuel Ndimele as a permanent secretary to be posted to head a ministry. . Amosun who defended the appointment through one of his aid Ogunponla Damilola said a background check was carried on his personality and found to merit the office despite some forces working against his appointment. He further said Mr Ofor is a disciplined,principled and committed being and no tribal or ethnic sentiment will blindfold the Governor from appointing him based on merit. . It is a usual style of governance in Nigeria not to appoint a non indigent into the apex position in civil service. This singular deed of the Governor according to Facebook survey has earned him more respect. . Others who were appointed are; 1. Mrs. Odumusi Bettey Olubunmi 2. Mr. Agbaje Babatunde Aina 3. Mrs. Ajayi Funmi Mofoluke 4. Mr. Adewunmi Olayiwola Matthew 5. Mrs. Dosunmu Titilayo Olubodunrin 6. Engr. Onajobi Jonathan Olukunle 7. Engr. Adelana Ademola Oluwole 8. Mr. Olatoye Julius Olufemi 9.

The president’s message is given below: Dear Nigerian Youths, Today is International Youth Day. I am delighted to commemorate this occasion, the second such celebration since I took office. The roles that young Nigerians played in the historic election that brought our government to power will never be forgotten. This government belongs to you. I would like to use this opportunity to assure you of our commitment to improving the quality of your lives and to creating opportunities for you to achieve your dreams and ambitions. We are mindful of the fact that Nigeria has one of the youngest populations in the world. Those young people are immensely energetic and talented, consistently blazing the trail in the arts, sports, business and technology. We are proud of what you have done and what you are able to do. We have launched a number of initiatives targeted at expanding the economic opportunities available to young Nigerians. N-Power, our job creation scheme, for which applications are ongoing, will employ 500,000 of you in agriculture, education, healthcare and technology. The Aso Villa Demo Day will soon bring 30 of the most innovative young Nigerians to the State House to showcase their talent in providing technology-based solutions to some of our most challenging problems. The Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP), part of our N500 billion Social Investment Programme, will provide soft loans to thousands of young entrepreneurs across the country. These are just some of the many initiatives we have designed and are implementing for you. You are the strength and future of our country. Please be assured that this administration will create an enabling environment for you to realise your potentials. I wish you all a Happy International Youth Day celebration. Thank You. Muhammadu Buhari President Federal Republic of Nigeria August 12, 2016 |
| Politics › WORLD YOUTH. DAY: Read What President Buhari Promised Nigerian Youth by Freegift75(op): 8:57am On Aug 13, 2016 |
Nigerian Youth Day Last year 2015 Youth Day, President Buhari begged Nigerian youth for patience www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/188293-world-youth-day-buhari-commends-nigerian-youth-over-polls-begs-for-patience.htmlThis year again 2016, President Buhari still assuring of better future – President Buhari promises Nigerian youths a better futureDear Nigerian Youth August 12 is a day set aside by the United Nations to encourage both Member States and the general public to understand the needs of young people, to implement policies to help them overcome the challenges they face, and to help young people into the decision-making process. A day earmarked to celebrate youthfulness in its entire splendor, a day to reflect on what was and prepare for what is to be. A day for elder statesmen to look beyond the politicking and power tussle and critically look at what the future holds for the youths of their nations and generations to come. Dear Nigerian Youths, is there much for us to celebrate? Often, have we looked back and reflect on our journey so far. Have we really celebrated youthfulness? Do we know the enormous power we own just being a youth? Does the average Nigerian youth have control over his decisions? Are the policies being implemented at various levels of Government in any way favourable to the youth of our Nation? Perhaps, the society has dealt with us psychologically that we have resigned to faith and accepted whatever it is that is swung our way. A National Conference was organised to determine the future, our future and we were sparsely represented. This scenario can be likened to a situation where a parent determines the career of a child even before birth. Not considering if the child will grow up to embrace that decision or not. Our life has been fashioned to be a roller coaster; we are constantly on the run to get whatever it may be that is being handed to us. Our destinies have been manipulated; our intellectual capability has been rendered ineffective. We have deviated from being creative and embraced mediocrity. We have become a generation that depends on our fathers and mothers for survival. We are products of society. A society that has constantly deprived us of basic amenities such as quality education, infrastructures, security and employment/enabling environment for job creation. We have been made to believe that material possessions are the true definition of success and we are in constant pursuit (a case of every man for himself) at the expense of job creation which is crucial to the growth and development of our economy. Most of our leaders have been in politics for over 35 years which clearly shows they observed the transition of our economy from stability to where it is at present and yet, they are still ruling. We wonder what exactly it is they still have to offer because if they had something to offer, they would not have remained in politics for so long. They would have contributed their quota and moved on for the next generation to come on board. Our mindset as regards politics and governance is basically that politics is a dirty and bloody game. Many of us as youths are petrified when it comes to politics and contesting for leadership positions while the few among us who are bold enough to go into it do it just for their selfish interests like amassing wealth. The kind of environment we all grew up in has actually influenced our mind set and poisoned our orientation into thinking that politics will always corrupt us if we delve into it and that there is nothing we can do but to engage in corrupt activities and follow the corruption trend if we are in politics or power. The average Nigerian youth does not know his right as a citizen; he has no idea what the constitution states regarding his benefits as a Nigerian because he has been fine-tuned to see his rights as favour. He is deprived of quality education and accepts mediocrity as privilege; he sees insecurity as a norm and believes it is only the politicians that deserve protection, he sees employment as a battle for the survival of the fittest and who you know determines your automatic employment, he automatically becomes a physician of himself as proper healthcare is meant for a particular class of people, he looks forward to the election period as the only avenue to notice an infinitesimal change in his neighbourhood, he refuses to vote because he is convinced that his vote won’t count. In summation, he is a directionless youth without a voice. In a country where the successor generation stays fixated on white collar jobs after graduation, even when we know they don’t exist, some of us are already thinking ahead of what will become of the youths of our nation if we continue to talk motivation and deliver colourful speeches rather than actually create opportunities for viable empowerment and employment for our generation. The opportunities are endless but we are not taking advantage of them. We are swayed with the lifestyle and glitz that comes with the three-piece suits and briefcases. We want to be seen as bankers, engineers, managers, consultants, and financial advisers. When we can actually be addressed as chief executive officers and partners of small businesses that will not only put food on our tables but also give us the liberty of free will? www.un.org/en/events/youthday/

There was wild jubilation in the commercial town of Onitsha on Thursday after the federal government, through the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, released all members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, who have been in detention. They were earlier arrested by various security agencies in Aba, Abia state, during their prayer rally in February. A statement issued to newsmen Thursday in Onitsha, by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful confirmed that their members had been released. He said all IPOB members worldwide under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the Director of Radio Biafra were commending the Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF and all those who had common sense to understand that all those arrested in Aba must be released. Powerful described the freedom of their members as a good omen for the birth of Biafra. www.dailypost.ng/2016/08/11/biafra-jubilation-fg-releases-detained-ipob-members/?utm_source=dlvr.it_dp1&utm_medium=facebook 11 Likes 2 Shares

| Politics › Aisha Buhari’s Embarrassing Grammatical Infelicities At USIP by Freegift75(op): 6:01am On Aug 08, 2016 |
Aisha Buhari’s Embarrassing Grammatical Infelicities at USIP By Farooq A. Kperogi, Ph.D. Twitter: @farooqkperogi I am aware that this article won’t endear me to several of my thin-skinned Buhari/APC partisan readers who, interestingly, wildly acclaimed my past articles that pilloried former First Lady Patience Jonathan’s sidesplitting grammatical transgressions. But I am never one to shy away from embarking on what I’m convinced is a just and fair undertaking because of a fear of backlash from mawkish, hypersensitive crybabies. In any case, in my Saturday column—and in my Facebook status updates—I have defended Wife of the President Aisha Buhari against Gov. Ayo Fayose’s brash and reckless calumny against her. In an ironic twist, it was her bid to give the lie to Fayose’s charge that she couldn’t visit the US without being arrested that caused her to come here and give a speech at the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) that is the subject of this column. Mrs. Aisha Buhari’s speech at the United States Institute of Peace didn’t rise to the level of former First Lady Patience Jonathan’s legendary contortion of English grammar, but it was inexcusably egregious nonetheless, not least because it was supposed to be the product of preparation and forethought. In general, the speech was riotously incoherent, lacked lexical and semantic discipline, and was peppered with avoidably ugly and elementary grammatical infractions. Mrs. Buhari vacillated between reading from a prepared script and speaking off the cuff. But the prepared speech and Mrs. Buhari’s extemporizations were indistinguishable: both were tortured, infantile, error-ridden, and cringe-worthy. Winston Churchill’s famous putdown of his opponent—"He spoke without a note and almost without a point."—seems to apply to the Wife of the President. (Watch the video below.) Below are highlights of the infelicities that stood out like a sore thumb during Mrs. Buhari’s 10-minute speech at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington, DC: 1. Subject-verb agreement. Like Patience Jonathan—and former President Goodluck Jonathan—Aisha Buhari doesn’t seem to have any respect for subject-verb concord rules in English grammar. These howlers illustrate this: “I want to…thank the international community for giving us a solutions…,” “those that needs to be…,” “the school have been running…,” “adult ones that needs the opportunity.” Most people know that a singular subject (such as “the school”) agrees with a singular verb (such as “has”) and a plural subject (such as “those,” “adult ones”) agrees with a plural verb (such as “need” instead of “needs.”) That means the Wife of the President should have said, “those that need to be,” “the school has been running,” “adult ones that need the opportunity.” Of course, “a solutions” is a self-evident bloomer: you don’t pluralize a noun that is preceded by the indefinite article “a” because “a” signals nominal singularity. In other words, “a solutions” is both ungrammatical and illogical since it implies nominal plurality and singularity simultaneously. It is either “solutions” or “a solution.” 2. Redundant pronoun. Pronouns typically take the place of a noun and save us the torment of ungainly repetition. That’s why, in Standard English, pronouns don’t typically appear in the same sentence as the nouns they refer to. In her USIP speech, Mrs. Buhari said the following: “As you are all aware, Boko Haram issue, it is a global issue attached to terrorism, which need [sic] to be addressed globally.” “Boko Haram issue” is the antecedent for the pronoun “it” in the sentence quoted above, which makes the pronoun superfluous since it appears in the same sentence as its antecedent. “Boko Haram is a global issue…” would convey the same meaning—and without the ungrammatical baggage. I admit, though, that redundant pronouns of the kind I identified in Mrs. Buhari’s speech occur in nonstandard native English dialects. But we are talking of an official speech in a formal context in a foreign, English-speaking country. The sentence also violates the basic principle of pronoun-antecedent agreement. The principle says, “A pronoun usually refers to something earlier in the text (its antecedent) and must agree in number — singular/plural — with the thing to which it refers.” The phrase “which need” refers to “Boko Haram issue,” which is a singular subject that needs a singular verb, i.e., “needs.” 3. A curious resultant “done.” During her speech, Mrs. Buhari praised the University of Maiduguri for remaining open even in the worst moments of Boko Haram insurgency. “The university really done us proud,” she said. This is a misuse of the past participle “done” that linguists call the “resultant done.” It is curious because it is typical of the informal, nonstandard (and sometimes illiterate) speech of the American south. In Standard English, the sentence would be reworded as, “The university has done us proud.” If we want to be faithful to Mrs. Buhari’s lexical and structural choice, we would rephrase it as, “The university really did us proud.” 4. Buhari’s government as a “recent regime.” Mrs. Buhari puzzlingly referred to her husband’s administration as “the recent regime.” Here is the context: After thanking the “international community” for its military and financial support that led to the defeat of Boko Haram, in a rather awkward transition, the Wife of the President said, “In which the recent regime has done so far considering what we inherited—the level of insecurity in the country—we can now say that we successfully fought the Boko Haram insurgency.” Apart from the weak, messy transition, that’s some really dizzyingly incoherent verbal blizzard! But the bigger issue is that she called the current administration “a recent regime.” There are two problems with that. First, the word “recent,” especially when it is applied to administrations, implies an immediate past, that is, that which precedes the present. It is both ungrammatical and illogical to speak of an incumbent administration as “recent.” Second, there is always a tone of disapproval when a government is referred to as a “regime.” That is why the word is often reserved for military and other totalitarian governments. Even the Associated Press Stylebook defines “regime” as “the period in which a person or system was in power, often with a negative connotation. For example, Saddam Hussein’s regime, the Nazi regime.” I hope Mrs. Buhari doesn’t consider her husband as the honcho of a regime. 5. “Academicians.” Mrs. Buhari called university lecturers in the audience “academicians.” Well, it’s OK to refer to university teachers as “academicians” in Nigeria and in other non-native English- speaking countries, but it doesn’t hurt to learn the proper form when you address native speakers in their own territory. Educated native English speakers call university teachers “academics,” not “academicians.” www.farooqkperogi.com/2016/08/aisha-buharis-embarrassing-grammatical.html?m=1#.V6bvtF5HOXV.facebook 1 Like 1 Share

Since fourth democratic republic that commenced in 1999 in Nigeria, it's conspicuous that some forces are holding the progress of this nation in their hands or pockets. But ever since, Nigerians are not relent in fervent prayers against the enemies of the progress of this nation. Meanwhile, the evidential reports going viral now indicate that the set time for answered prayer is now. 1. PDP party is one major group that holds Nigeria backward. But today the God is set to scatter and dis organise them. 2. Niger Delta Militant is also another brutal fighter that has contributed to the downturn of our economy. Today, Holy Spirit is at work to cause confusion and disorganise them. 3. The deadly group, Bokoharam is also in leadership conflict. Very soon we shall be hearing report of internal war, killing selves. ------------------------ With all these, there is hope for Nigeria. Nigerians should continue in their fervent prayer. Buhari himself is a prayer warrior. We learnt that Buhari ever since he became president in 2015, always awake by 5am to pray for Nigeria. There is hope for Nigeria. One of the reasons is that, Buhari is more stronger than he was in May, 2015 health wise. Nigeria will rise again. |

| Politics › BREAKING NEWS: Court Bars FRSC From Issuing Fine To Motorist by Freegift75(op): 6:56pm On Jul 30, 2016 |
NEWS July 29, 2016 Christopher Oyimadu A federal high court in Lagos has declared void powers of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to impose fines on motorists for traffic offences. John Tsoho, a judge, held that the commission could not turn itself into a court of law by punishing those who commit traffic offences. Tope Alabi, a lawyer, had approached the court to declare that only a court of competent jurisdiction could pronounce a person guilty under section 10 (4) and 28 (2) of the FRSC Act 2007. Other defendant in the suit was the attorney-general of the federation. The judge also awarded N1million damages in favour of the plaintiff because officials of the FRSC had confiscated his vehicle and driver’s licence. Tosho said while FRSC was statutorily empowered to arrest and fine traffic offenders, a closer look at the definition of the word “fine” meant a pecuniary criminal punishment or civil penalty payable to the public treasury. “In the instant case, however, the involvement of the element of arrest takes the imposition of fine by the FRSC to the realm of criminal punishment,” he said. “From these definitions, it is obvious that the act of sentencing is a judicial action or exercise, and imposition of fine connotes conviction for an alleged offence. “It is, thus, very clear that the FRSC, not being a court of law, cannot impose fine, especially as it has no powers to conduct trial. “Hence, the exercise of the statutory powers given to the defendant under the Act as pertain to imposition of fine is clearly a usurpation of judicial powers exclusively vested in the courts. “In the circumstances, I endorse the plaintiff’s submission that by virtue of section 1(3) of the constitution, the power to impose fine conferred on FRSC by the enabling act is null and void to the extent of its inconsistency with the constitution.” Tsoho held that the FRSC resorted to “legislative absurdity” when it imposed a fine of 3,000 on the plaintiff, rather than the N2,000 statutorily prescribed. “FRSC’s function should not go beyond issuance of mere notices of offence,” he ruled. “It is a cardinal principle of natural justice that no person can be condemned without being heard. “It is in observance of this that a person alleged to have committed an offence has to respond to such allegation before a court of law during trial.” According to the judge, the plaintiff was issued a notice of offence Sheet on April 4, 2013, but FRSC did not take him to court for five months before the plaintiff filed his suit on September 9, 2013. “The vital question to ask is how long would it take the FRSC to reasonably commence prosecution of a traffic offence?” he asked. “The plaintiff was not under obligation to wait indefinitely for redress due to FRSC’s inaction or laxity. “I hold the view that the confiscation of the vehicle was unnecessary in the first place, though the FRSC spiritedly sought to justify it.” The judge then granted 11 of the 14 reliefs sought by the plaintiff, awarding N1million in his favour instead of the N10 million prayed for. www.breakingnews.ng/2016/07/29/jubilation-as-court-removes-frscs-power-to-fine-motorists/ |

| Business › SHOCKING: Secret Of Dangote's Wealth Expose by Freegift75(op): 5:25pm On Jul 29, 2016 |
For those who never knew the secret of becoming great, here is the secret of how Aliko Dangote connected to the source his wealth. Hope you learn a lesson...! [quote]The Man Aliko Dangote Aliko Dangote was born into a wealthy home in Kano. He got his first degree in Cairo, Egypt. He had always loved trading , and reports say he hawked sweets even as a primary school child, even though his family was wealthy. Dangote is really a very humble person even by the confessions of people who have interacted with him. . But Dangote is not the only hardworking Nigerian and he is not the only humble person around either. He is probably not the most business savvy in Africa also but he is certainly the richest Blackman in the world. His companies employ over 11,000 people directly – not to mention distributors, contractors and other vendors who depend on his businesses to thrive. . Dangote is a blessing to humanity. There is no family in Nigeria today that does not have a Dangote product in their home. If it is not sugar, then it is salt or the house you are living in was built with a Dangote Cement. Everyone has something to do with his business. So like Job he earns a little off everyone and that is the way to get wealthy. . Dangote is the 23rd richest person in the world and is said to be the second most powerful African alive. The question is how did Dangote attain such a height? Yes, you can’ t take away his hard work and business acumen, but that is only the starting point. The answer will not be found in the Forbes Magazine or on Wikipedia. The answer is in the verse of scripture quoted below: If you are willing and obedient you will eat the good of the land. . Sometime in the early 90s Dangote had an encounter that set his foot on the path of destiny. Archbishop Benson Idahosa had some guests who needed to travel back urgently from Benin to Lagos to catch up their flight to the US. Unfortunately, by the time the Archbishop took his guests to the airport they were told that the last flight for the day was overbooked and not a single seat was available. As a matter of fact, the passengers have boarded and were about to take off. Idahosa asked for the plane to be delayed a few minutes and walked to the tarmac where he was allowed to address the passengers. He pleaded with them about the desperate situation of his guests and asked that two persons should donate their seats for his guests to get to Lagos. . Everyone in that plane, except Alike Dangote and perhaps his assistant were Christians. None of them batted an eyelid. Some even pretended to be asleep while some pretended to be praying while the man of God stood waiting. From the back of the plane, a young man asked the person sitting next to him to get up and together they vacated their seat for the American visitors. Archbishop Benson Idahosa stopped him in the aisle of the plane and asked, "Youngman, what is your name and what do you do?” “My name is Dangote, Aliko Dangote and this is my assistant. I am a trader, a businessman.” . It was there and then, that Papa Idahosa prophesied to him that “the World will get up for you.” He prayed that God should take his business beyond Africa and bless him beyond measures. Today, God has answered that prayer. God destined that blessing for someone seated in that plane that evening. But there was a condition attached to it – Isa 1:19 If you will only let me help you, if you will only obey, then I will make you rich! Dangote’s wealth today was not meant for a Christian businessman who was too proud, too fixated in his mind to offer the “flamboyant man of God” and the “prosperity preacher” his seat. . My question is, if you were there on that plane, would you have taken the blessing? Hmmmm! Time for soul searching! Nothing in life is worth fighting for. Your best clothes is someone's rag, your account balance is someone's donation at a function, your girl friend/boy friend or fiance/fiancee is someone's Ex. Every single prostitute you see in a hotel or on the street at night was at some point in time a virgin. So, what is the squabble all about? Life is too small to feel bigger or better than anybody. We're all naked to death says Steve Jobs. Nothing can save us from it. Avoid bragging about age, wealth, beauty, intelligence, level of education, fame and material possessions.

My own observation to this speculation is that, firstly, rotation policy will avert maginalisation. This will abolish the clamour that some regions are born to rule. I support the motion. One year of five years tenure is enough. |

There were several hypothetical speculations by the media as to the primary purpose of Obasanjo's recent visit to President Buhari. However, if the privileged information gathered last night from a reliable source comes out as it is, it means President Buhari means well for Nigeria. It was learnt that President Buhari confides in OBJ his plans to strengthen Nigeria democracy and constitutionally restructure political terrain in Nigeria. Our source hints that president Buhari is set to send a bill to National Assembly - - proposing one tenure of 5yrs for Presidency. - the bill to seek constitutional Amendment to establish rotation of presidency among all the geo-political zones. - abolishing second tenure for any elected politicians. The leaked auto-audio recording of the conversation between OBJ and PMB unveils President Buhari's interest to influence a candidate from South-East region to emerge president in 2019. All indications prove that President Buhari never a day nurse ambition to extend his tenure beyond 2019, but committed to a legacy of resound political structure that will bring peace and strength our unity. In conclusion, if this comes out as he envisages, there is tendency that Nigeria will rise again. May God bless PMB Dr Saint |

2016 - 1952 = 64yrs. Averagely, most of those kids in the pic would be under ten. That is to say, most of them may still be alive, even in politics. Wait for me to use my telescope to identify who may still be alive today. |
