FROM DESMOND MGBOH, KANO The Kano State police command said yesterday that the Igbo or indeed, any non-indigene was behind the December 10 explosion at the Kanti Kwari Market. According to the Commissioner, Alhaji Adenrele Shinaba, the arrest of an indigenous female suicide bomber gave a lie to such rumour. “That is a clear indication that the rumour making the round is not only malicious, but unfounded. We want the members of the public to disabuse their minds as regards this unfounded rumour,” Shinaba said. “We want to disabuse the minds of the members of the public that a tribe is behind it. This is not an inter-tribal war. It is an act of terrorism. It has nothing to do with any government; it has nothing to do with any tribe. “I think trouble-makers, people who thrive and benefit from violence, are the master-minds of this wicked and ugly rumour” he added. Alhaji Aderenle said, “we know we have a common enemy which are the terrorists and we cannot start fighting ourselves because that is the aim of the terrorists, to cause confusion , to look for soft targets and create panic, fear…….. “What we are saying is that the people that are saying that they are going to attack non- indigenes living in Sabon Gari, we want them to realize that whoever is doing so , is doing so at his or her own peril. We are law enforcement agents; we are security agents; we would not allow that. We must protect everybody living here. “Let it be known that some of the Igbo that are living here, they have lived with you for years, some of them were born here, some of them do not know their places of origin, they have lived here and are doing their businesses here,” he said. http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=96994 |
Sylvarresta:Nobody asked them to join military hence free to quite any day they want. Most of the weapons BH uses are weapons stole from Nigeria barracks. Have u ever asked your asked urself why did Nigeria soldiers became ill equiped immediately Ihejirika removed as the COAs? |

warripekin:Thank u my brother. The op is free to disconnect his light if he can't pay the bill |
subterfuge:Op I'll advice you to look for something u ll be doing next year instead lamenting your frustration on nairalanders. Federal government will not provide job for all her citizens. OBJ your brother did not give me money I used to start my business in 2005 and I'm doing well today, Instead Yaradua created a harsh importation policy that made me to loose million of naira in 2009. We traders will vote for GEJ because of his friendly policies in importation |
Story of a deceiver. How many opportunity have u had to all those roads and bridges? What made u not to do them? As a head of State, u failed to do them and as PTF Chairman, I also failed to do them. Tell that Rrubbishh to Almajiris. By Femi Aribisala If anybody would like to be a serial loser of the presidential election in Nigeria, here is a list of what he needs to do; according to the blueprint of Muhammadu Buhari. If one were to decode the guiding principle of Muhammadu Buhari’s presidential ambitions, it would be this: “If at first you don’t succeed, don’t give up until you have failed three more times on the trot.” Nigerians don’t want Muhammadu Buhari to be our president. We have said this repeatedly since 1999. But Buhari simply refuses to take “No” for an answer. When is he finally going to get the message that an overwhelming majority of Nigerians don’t want him? Buhari is the last of yesterday’s men who insist that a country of 170 million people must continue to rely on the leadership of the same old and failed generation. Nigerians have already put paid to the presumptions of Olusegun Obasanjo; who wanted a fourth term; Ibrahim Babangida; who stepped aside and wanted to step back in; and Atiku Abubakar, who runs a marathon for the presidency. Buhari is the last of these recalcitrant dinosaurs. The one good thing about the coming presidential election is that it is likely to provide Nigerians with a final definitive opportunity to send him permanently into retirement. Buhari’s repeated failure to secure a national mandate provides a textbook case of how not to run for the presidency in a plural country like Nigeria. This is a compendium of some of the reasons why the Nigerian presidency will forever elude men like Buhari, inspire of all the song and dance that attends their candidacies. If anybody would like to be a serial loser of the presidential election in Nigeria, here is a list of what he needs to do; according to the blueprint of Muhammadu Buhari. Be an enemy of democracy Claim you are anti-corruption but steal the presidency of the entire country through an illegal and fraudulent military coup. Claim you are a democrat after you overthrew a democratically elected government in 1983 and made yourself Head of State without the consent of the people of Nigeria. As military Head of State, refuse to entertain any plan for a return to civilian rule. Tell Nigerians that anyone who discusses a return to civil rule would be arrested. Overthrow a government, but be more against the opposition than the government in power. Establish manhunts for key politicians in the length and breadth of the country. Nevertheless, allow key elements of the ruling NPN to escape out of the country, including party chairman, Richard Akinloye; legal counsel, Richard Akinjide; and Minister of Transport, Umaru Dikko. Allow the Secretary-General of the party, Uba Ahmed, to escape abroad, even after he had mistakenly returned to the country and was arrested and jailed. Violate human rights Promulgate the infamous Decree 2 that makes even the reporting of the truth a punishable offence. Use it to imprison Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabo, two journalists from the South, for reporting stories that were factually true. Then tell Nigerian journalists: “It does not matter whether the story reported was true or not, if my regime does not like it, the writer would go to jail.” Try Nigerian civilians in military tribunals as opposed to regular courts of law in violation of internationally acceptable legal norms. Create a secret police, the National Security Organization (NSO) for the first time in Nigeria’s history under infamous Lawal Rafindadi to harass and imprison without trial Nigerian citizens in clear violation of their human rights. Publicly murder three Nigerians; Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26): two from the South-West and one from the South East, under the dubious Decree 20 for drug-related offences. Ignore the fact that, at the time they committed their crimes, their offences were not punishable by the death sentences. Nevertheless, maliciously backdate the death-sentence with illegal retroactive decrees that violate every international norm of due process and human rights just in order to kill these three hapless young men. In spite of widespread international condemnation for this, refuse to show any remorse or contrition or to apologise for this judicial murder till date. When asked to appear before the Justice Oputa “Truth and Reconciliation Panel” in order to answer for a litany of abuses of power and violation of human rights while in power as Nigeria’s military Head of State, refuse to appear showing your contempt for Nigerians. Discriminate against the South Balance a Northern Fulani Head of State with another Northern Fulani deputy. Conduct a coup d’état, ostensibly to overthrow a corrupt Nigerian government. However, be so ethnically chauvinistic that you put Dr. Alex Ekwueme, the vice-president who took none of the decisions under lock-and-key in jail in Kirikiri because he is Igbo and Christian. At the same time, put Alhaji Shehu Shagari, the president who was the person in charge under house arrest in a palatial mansion in Ikoyi, Lagos because he happens to be the same as you: Fulani and Muslim. Make Northern politicians sacred cows and untouchable. Fail to arrest and prosecute none of the prominent Hausa/Fulani politicians who were the principal actors in the government you overthrew; including Adamu Ciroma, Suleiman Takuma, Aliu Gusau, Lawal Kaita, Barkin Zuwo, Shehu Kangiwa and Awwal Ibrahim. At the same time, jail Southern politicians, including Bisi Onabanjo, Ambrose Alli, Lateef Jakande, Jim Nwobodo, and others on trumped up charges that could not be substantiated in any court of law. Try octogenarian Michael Ajasin of the South-West before a tribunal. When he is discharged and acquitted; try him again. When he is discharged and acquitted again, try him a third time. When he is discharged and acquitted yet again, keep him in indefinite detention without just cause. Maltreat Southern leaders Send a team of soldiers to ransack the Park Lane, Apapa residence of elder Southern statesman, Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Give no reason whatsoever for this blatant violation of the old man’s privacy. Seize his international passport for no just cause. Later, try to pull the wool over the eyes of the Yorubas by choosing a man married to Awolowo’s grand-daughter as your vice-presidential running-mate. Lock Emeka Ojukwu, an Igbo man from the South, in prison in Kirikiri with the politicians of the Second Republic, in spite of the fact that he committed no crime and held no public office in the Second Republic. Moreover, after Ojukwu returned to Nigeria after 13 years of exile, he received a full pardon from the president of Nigeria for his activities as leader of the secessionist government of Biafra. Provide Nigerians with no explanation whatsoever for the exact offence that led to Ojukwu’s arrest and incarceration. Get booted out of office by your own clique in the army. Have your colleague, Ibrahim Babangida, give this testimony about you: “regrettably it turned out that (he) was too rigid and uncompromising in his attitudes to issues of national significance. Efforts to make him understand that a diverse polity like Nigeria required recognition and appreciation of differences in both cultural and individual perceptions only served to aggravate the attitudes.” Corrupt practices Prohibit the importation of naira into the country during a much ballyhooed currency exchange program. Then contravene your own policy by having your ADC, Colonel Mustapha Jokolo, allow his father, the Emir of Gwandu from the North, to smuggle into the country through Muritala Muhammed International Airport 53 suitcases which the then Area Administrator of the Lagos Airport Customs Command, Atiku Abubakar, was not allowed to search. At the same time, sentence Afrobeat musician, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, a Yoruba man from the South-West, to 20 months in jail for being in possession of foreign-exchange he had legitimately procured for the upkeep of his band on a foreign trip. Because Fela mocked you in his songs for being unable to address the problems of Nigeria, declare to Nigerians that: “I decided to deal with this Fela problem once and for all.” Face public embarrassment because the judge who pronounced the sentence on Fela later confessed that he was ordered to jail him. Disregard for Nigeria’s secularity As military Head of State, contravene the country’s secularity by having Nigeria apply to join the Organisation of Islamic States (OIC). The application finally came through in 1986 and divided the country acrimoniously along Muslim/Christian lines. Tell Muslims not to vote for Christians. Reveal to Nigerians that you are a religious bigot by declaring in Kaduna in 2001 that: “I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria. God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country.” Say this, in spite of the fact that declaring some states as sharia states is in clear violation of the secularity of Nigeria’s federalism, as contained in section 10 of the Constitution of Nigeria Anti-corruption contradictions Claim to be an anti-corruption crusader; nevertheless, agree to serve under Sani Abacha, one of the most corrupt Heads-of-State ever in the history of Nigeria. On the 10th anniversary of General Abacha’s demise, tell incredulous Nigerians that Abacha did not steal anything while he was Nigeria’s Head of State. Describe all the allegations of looting the treasury leveled against Abacha as “baseless.” Maintain that: “ten years after Abacha, those allegations remain unproven because of lack of facts.” Hold this position in spite of the millions of dollars of Abacha’s loot recovered from banks around the world, and in spite of the fact that the Abacha’s family signed a formal agreement to return over $1 billion to the Nigerian government. As chairman of the juiciest portfolio of all under Sanni Abacha’s government; the Petroleum Trust Fund with a budget of 181 billion naira between 1994 and 1999, fail woefully to curb the rampant corruption in the organisation. When in 2000, President Obasanjo set up an Interim Management Committee to look into the affairs of the PTF under the chairmanship of Haroun Adamu, it was discovered that over 25 billion naira was stolen under your watch. |

Any sane person should see Amaechi desperation. 2015 will be hell for him if GEJ and Wike win, Ibori treatment will be a child play |
The only result APC will accept in 2015 is winning which is not possible. I pity the poor masses they will use as collateral damage after losing |
Amaechi madness have started again |

Jonathan met with the Queen of England. He asked her, "How do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips u can give to me? I want to help Nigeria." "Well," said the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people." Jonathan frowned, and then asked,"But how do i know the people around me are really intelligent?" The Queen replied, "Oh, that's easy, you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle. "The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "Please send David Cameron in here, would you?" David Cameron walked into the room and said,"Yes, your majesty?" The Queen smiled and said "Answer this riddle. David, your mother and father have a child, it is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it? "Without pausing for a minute David Cameron answered, "that would be me." "Yes, very good," said the Queen. Jonathan went back home to ask his Vice President Sambo. JONATHAN: Answer this. Your mother and your father have a child, it's not your brother and it's not your sister, who is it? SAMBO: "I'm not sure, let me get back to you." He asked all his staff in the Office but none could give him an answer. Finally, one day, VP Sambo ran into Dora Akunyili. Sambo asked, Dora, SAMBO: Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or sister, who is it?" Dora answered sharply "That's easy, its me!" Sambo smiled,and said "Thanks!" Then he went back to speak with President Jonathan. Sambo: Sir, I have the answer to that riddle, It's Dora Akunyili! Jonathan got angry,he said to Sambo. "No wonder Nigeria isn't moving forward, I am surrounded by Dummies! The answer is David Cameron!" WHO IS MORE INTELLIGENT? |

A socio-political youth group of the Middle Belt Region has cautioned the Rivers state governor, Rotimi Amaechi over his consistent and unguarded utterances against President Goodluck Jonathan. The group said the governor’s recent inciting comments were dangerous developments capable of ridiculing the image of the nation in the eyes of the international community. According to the coordinator of the group, Amaechi’s utterances are unbecoming of a sitting governor after threatening to form a parallel government come 2015, and now accusing the sitting President of Nigeria of sponsoring Boko Haram terrorists on a day the entire nation was mourning over the Kano blast that killed many worshippers at the Kano Central Mosque. It said there should be moderation in the utterances of the political class on national issues, particularly issues that could whip up sentiments across the divide, warning that the immunity of the office of the governor shouldn’t be abused. “No matter the misunderstanding between Amaechi and the person of President Jonathan, the corporate existence of Nigeria should be respected; Amaechi is over stepping his boundary” The group said Nigeria is too big for one individual or group. “We all must protect this country from anyone who wishes to tear it apart for political gains. If Nigeria should break apart in war or political conflicts today, people like Gov. Amaechi will run off with his family. Amaechi has been making utterances before now but this time around, his treachery is igniting. Elaigwu said lots of events are setting Nigeria to the part of war, and if nothing is done right now to end the madness, it will be too late, adding that; “Nigerians must wake to the realities of things. Some politicians care less about Nigeria, but more about their gains. It shows that what Nigerians are passing through in the hands of Boko Haram is nothing to Gov. Amaechi”. “Our conclusion is if Amaechi is targeting any political position in the APC, he shouldn’t put Nigeria’s corporate existence in danger, and if Amaechi has any personal problem with the President, he should seek for another way of addressing it. We are warning that Nigeria’s interest supersedes any other person selfish interest” he added. http://dailypost.ng/2014/12/02/governor-amaechi-overstepping-boundary-middle-belt-group/ |

10 Things Everyone Should Know About Yvonne Okoro 1. Yvonne Okoro’s Age puzzle One of the most begging questions about this celebrity that no one has been able to answer is her age. While she usually celebrates her birthday on 25 November of every year, she has failed to commit when it comes to her real age. Last year, she intimated that her age was 34 only to refute it a few months later. She now claims her age ranges between 27 and 29 years. 2.

Yvonne Okoro’s movie debut Even as a child, Yvonne was already showing interest in acting but did not get a chance to pursue her dreams because of schooling. Her debut came just after completing senior high school in a movie entitled “Sticking to The Promise” which was produced by a Nigerian producer known as Theo Akatugba and later in hit series “Tentacles” also produced by Theo. She played cameo role in these movies, which catapulted her to fame and enabling her produce her first, “Beyonce.” 6.
