PoliticsReports: Bomb Blast Rocks Central Bangkok by hammariise(op): 2:32pm On Aug 17, 2015
A bomb rocked the commercial hub of Bangkok, Thailand, during the evening rush hour on Monday, according to media reports.
Reuters reported that at least 12 people were dead, according to police and a rescue worker. Local TV and the BBC quoted police as saying the blast was caused by a bomb.
The explosion appears to have gone off in front of the Erawan Shrine, a Hindu shrine that is popular with tourists and locals, the Associated Press reported.
The broadcaster said its correspondent at the scene said there are "body parts scattered everywhere" and a crater, indicating a bombing, which is rare in the city. People near the shrine were hit by the “full force of the blast,” the BBC reported, Burned motorbikes could be seen in the road.
"All I can say now is there has been an explosion in central Bangkok involving a motorcycle bomb," deputy national police chief Aek Angsananond told Reuters.
The explosion happened at the Rajprasong intersection, the center of many political demonstrations in recent years, according to the AP.
"There are body parts strewn in the intersection," Voice of America's Steven Herman told CNN.

SportsMourinho Signs New Chelsea Contract by hammariise(op):
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has committed his future to the Premier League champions by putting pen to paper on a new four-year contract.

Mourinho won his third Premier League title with Chelsea last season as well as lifting the League Cup - the first trophies since making his return for a second spell at Stamford Bridge.

The former Porto boss spent three years in west London early in the Roman Abramovich era before enjoying trophy-laden spells at Inter and Real Madrid.

Rumours had suggested the 52-year-old would agree a new contract following a successful season with the club and, having restored Chelsea to become the dominant force in English football, Mourinho's new deal until 2019 was announced on the eve of the new Premier League season.

"If the club is happy, I am happy," said Mourinho.

"I think this is a normal thing for me to sign a new contract. It is important we have this continuity and I hope we can enjoy more success in the future - for the fans, the players and the club."

Mourinho's initial exit from Stamford Bridge came about due to a disagreement with wealthy owner Abramovich, although relations appear to have improved in recent years.

Speaking shortly after wrapping up the Premier League title last term, Mourinho stated he would "stay as long as Mr Abramovich wants me".
PoliticsMimiko Sacks Heads Of Government Boards And Parastatals As Frantic Attempt To Di by hammariise(op): 4:53am On Aug 07, 2015
Sources at the meeting told SaharaReporters that the Chairmen were asked by the Governor to hand over all government properties in their possession ‎to the top officers in their respective offices.


It was gathered that the officers were sacked after meeting with the Governor at a gathering late Wednesday evening.

Sources at the meeting told SaharaReporters that the Chairmen were asked by the Governor to hand over all government properties in their possession ‎to the top officers in their respective offices.

The source also said the Governor did not explain the main reasons behind his action, particularly in light of the fact that he retained some other Chairmen.

"The Governor did not justify why he had to retained other Chairmen, ‎mostly the ones in charge of Ministries which generate revenue for the State,” the source said.

This was coming barely one day the Governor terminated the services of his Special Assistants and Senior Special Assistants.

But, a competent source in the Government office told SaharaReporters during a phone call that Governor Mimiko made the move in order to clean ‎up the mess made by these State board Chairmen.

The source added that Governor Mimiko is already in fear and has been making franticly preparing to face corruption allegations in his government.

"Mimiko knows he is near for prosecution after running a corrupt government. He puts the governance of the state in the hands of his in-laws,” this source added.

"He can't escape the long arms of the law. Already the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is trailing his government,” he also said.
PoliticsBuhari Begins Total Probe Of Jonathan’s Govt by hammariise(op): 4:37am On Aug 07, 2015
By Emma Ujah, Abuja Bureau Chief, & Emmanuel Elebeke


ABUJA — A total probe of the administration run by immediate past president, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is underway as the National Economic Council, NEC, Ad-hoc Committee on the Management of Excess Crude Account Proceeds and Accruals into the Federation Account, headed by the Governor of Edo State, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, is to hire two international forensic audit firms to probe revenue that accrued into the Federation Account and how it was spent under former Dr Goodluck Jonathan as President.
Mr. Oshiomhole told journalists at the end of the first meeting of the committee in Abuja, yesterday that the auditors would cover the period January 1, 2010 to June 1, 2015.
It put paid to calls by the opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, that Buhari should extend his probe to the administrations of Jonathan’s predecessors, Alh. Umaru Yar’ Adua.and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.

Already, some revenue generating agencies have been invited to brief the committee which will take detailed briefings from all Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs of the Federal Government that deal directly with revenue.
The focus will be on the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, the Nigeria Customs Service, the Central bank of Nigeria, the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, NEITI, among others.
Other members of the committee included Gov. Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai of Kaduna State, Ibrahim Dankwambo of Gombe, and Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom.
He said that the committee did not want its actions to be bogged down by political interpretations and that the members were not professionals. Even if they were professionals, he said that their duties as governors would not allow them the time to do a thorough work.
His words, “We held our first primary session today here with some of the revenue generating agencies that are supposed to remit funds to the federation account. We had a successful session with Customs, NPA, NEITI, SEC, FIRS, and quite a number of others and next week we will also hear from CBN, Ministry of Finance, Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation.
For the remaining ones, we agree we are going to meet on Thursday next week, NNPC, NPDC, DPR, NIMASA and other remaining agencies.
We have started the work, with the idea to hear them out, what they have been doing, with particular emphasis on revenue accruing from these organizations and whether or not these have been remitted to the Federation Account for judicious distribution.
His words: “We realised that this is a task and given our mandate, even if we were professional accountants because we are sitting governors, we would not have the time to do a forensic audit which this assignment entails.
“Therefore, we have agreed in line with our mandate to appoint two reputable international audit firms to carry out a thorough forensic audit, not only of NNPC, which is more of excess crude, but other monies that accrued to the Federation Accounts. We have other revenues like bonuses, royalties, taxes, VAT that flow into the Federation Account.
“We are taking a holistic review of the entire process, looking at all the agencies that make contribution of funds to the federation account.
We are convinced that by appointing audit firms, we will allow professionals to carry out this exercise, so that it will be free of any political colouration and also we will ensure the outcome of the investigation will.
“We have learned, we have listened and asked questions. I think we all have a clear picture of what is happening in those organizations before now. Some have information to supply and we have drawn attention to those areas, they are willing to oblige. We believe in the end, we will be able to not just establish what had happened over the period but much more important, going forward with the changes the President has promised the country.
“It is not going to be business as usual. He started on a clean slate and everybody knows the new rules of the game and in particular as the laws apply to the various institutions are implemented in full. So I think we started very well. We are very confident that we are going to come out with something that is going to be of immense benefits to the Nigerian people”.
On the rationale for embarking on another audit report with regards to the alleged missing funds, he said “Some reports were produced by PWC but in that report the PWC expressed their frustration and pointed to the fact that they were not able to access all the information they needed and that what they were able to produce was to the extent of information that was made available to them.”
He added: “Audit can only be credible as much as information that was made available to auditors. The good news now is that with President Buhari, all the books will be open, no agency has any protection. Any agency that refuses to open the books then is ready to go on confrontation with the authority.
“The forensic audit will act on the whole truth and nothing but the truth so that all stakeholders will have basis to formulate good policies and that Nigeria will never find itself in this circle where huge sums of money are allegedly diverted and unaccounted for. Audit has become a way of life for all public institutions.”
On the duration of the audit exercise, Oshiomhole explained that the committee had looked at it professionally. “We are focusing on a five year circle. What we have agreed is that we are going to carry out an audit for five years from 1st January 2010 to 30th June 2015.
“If the audit report reveals that we need to go backward, then we can do that. But for the first instance, this is the period that we consider good.
“We can’t impose a time frame on them but will engage them and by Thursday we will be able to make it public. We need to listen to them and agreed with them on how much time will be okay for them. We are all in a hurry to ensure that the right thing is done. The emphasis is not on time but doing thorough job.
“By next week we will meet with the big ones and we will then be able to tell you the audit firms that we have appointed. They are firms I am sure Nigerians will have confidence in.
“At the end of the audit we will hear them out and reconcile them with what the laws says and arrive at a position. Given the volume of work and complicated nature of issues, we agreed we need professionals to carry out the audit. It is only the professionals that can handle it. It is not good to compromise”.

PoliticsArms And The Nigerian Army By Ogaga Ifowodo by hammariise(op): 8:49pm On Aug 04, 2015
As I watched Air Chief Marshall Alex Badeh, the recently retired Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), elaborate on the confession in his valedictory speech of July 31st that he, as the nation’s number one soldier, presided over a military “that lacked the relevant equipment and motivation to fight,” I searched for signs of shame and penitence. I saw none. That was four days ago when Badeh spoke on Channels Television’s News. “Good thing,” I said to myself, “that he is in mufti and won’t further disgrace his uniform.” But I wasn’t going to let that opinion rest on the TV appearance, so I decided to go beyond the newspaper reports of Badeh’s “pulling out” ceremony to read his valedictory speech in full. Surely, there had to be a hint there of remorse that he had knowingly sent hundreds of his men into battle with the satanic Boko Haram literally bare-handed to their assured death or if “lucky,” grievous bodily harm. There had to be in it some pained acknowledgement of the criminal hypocrisy of deciding to court-martial over a hundred officers and men of the army for insubordination, cowardice, and desertion when they had only insisted on being properly armed for war.

I am sad to report that, again, I saw no evidence of a mortified CDS eager to assuage his conscience or salve the brutalized psyche of the living victims of Boko Haram’s unending spree of bombing, arson, kidnapping, rape, and even conquest and occupation of a large portion of the northeast until March this year. Instead, Badeh, while officially corroborating what even children already knew, chose instead to indulge in self-congratulation and blame previous governments and the press. “Over the years,” he said, “the military was neglected and under-equipped to ensure the survival of certain regimes, while other regimes . . . deliberately reduced the size of the military and underfunded it.”

Considering that Badeh spent four decades in the Air Force, and that he was either near or at the very pinnacle of the military command in the last decade of his career, it is remarkable that he speaks as if the “regimes” he served are excluded from this charge. Too grateful to ex-President Jonathan for appointing him Chief of Air Staff and CDS, he has only praise for him. Despite the damnable fact of the “challenges” he faced, he is “glad to note that a lot was achieved” under him “in the fight against terror.” Actually, Badeh betrays his insincerity by being unsure of the true nature of his achievements other than the personal glory of elevation to the peak of the military command. So in one breath, Badeh says that “a lot was achieved,” and that he recorded “some notable successes,” and yet that it was all “modest successes.” Successes, nonetheless, even if more administrative than military. Such as the feat of a controversial home-made Unmanned Aerial Vehicle that, curiously enough, must be manned (“the UAV pilots we trained are currently the ones flying the Nigerian Air Force UAV’s in the ongoing war against terror”); a defence headquarters annexe complete with a penthouse for receiving dignitaries; the training of pilots to bridge a five-generation gap of squadron leaders and wing commanders, though officers held those ranks in that time notwithstanding; the setting up of an Armed Forces DNA laboratory, and of a radio station to counter “the negative media coverage of the activities of the Armed Forces in the ongoing war against terror,” etc.

But still the questions: what justification did Badeh and his service chiefs have for donning their uniforms adorned with shiny epaulettes and brass buttons when for years on end they ran an army without arms? How could he and the military command in good conscience court-martial any soldier for insisting on his right to be armed before being sent to battle? How could he sleep at night knowing this, or that his men had not even been trained for battle in peace time? Does Badeh not understand that he has confessed to sending his troops on suicide missions? As I wrote, I learned through the virtual grapevine of the Internet that the new Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Buratai, has ordered a review of the three court-martials in Abuja, Kaduna, and Abuja. He must do better than that. He must abolish them forthwith and reinstate the heroic soldiers who dared to expose our armed forces as all uniform and no guns before their general field commander who waited till the safety of retirement before ratifying their protest. Talk of cowardice!

If there is anything to take from Badeh’s self-exculpatory confession, it is that our military is mortally stricken by the cancer of serial coup plots that politicized it almost beyond cure. As with all cancers, the hope of a cure lies in radical treatment: excision of the tumour, searing through radiation or chemotherapy and more. That translates as a gradual but full-scale structural reorganization of the armed forces and the re-training and re-orientation of its men and women if it is ever to be fit for its purpose: defense of the territorial integrity of the nation. That is the more charitable view of Badeh’s call for a self-reliant military. The less charitable view would be that Badeh and his retired service chiefs are guilty of willful endangerment and war crimes.

IGBOS AND BUHARI
So last week I had travelled to the East for my bossom chum's traditional marriage. It was my first visit since January 3rd I left. I was shocked to see the roads worse than they were in january. All the pictures of the roads Jonathan's supporters were posting as the completed Enugu Onitsha expressway on social media in the build up to the elections were obviously false. There was no 2nd Niger Bridge being constructed and I wondered where a certain fellow named Kalu Aja got the pictures of the construction work they put up as the 2nd Niger Bridge nearing completion. The Benin-Ore road that was as it was and not the photoshopped pictures of the smooth constructed road with culverts and drains. The bad portions of the road remained. In fact there was nothing different about the road when I passed there last. I wonder how an Igbo man who claims to love himself will lie against himself and his interest. You put up pictures of non-existent projects and claim they exist. Today Buhari is president, even the Niger Deltans have moved on and are engaging Buhari on how to develop the Niger Delta while you are still crying more than the bereaved. I am yet to hear any demand for Buhari to do a particular project in the East like say the 2nd Niger Bridge or the completion of the Federal Roads or the Sea port in Onitsha. Aba needs attention, same with Onitsha and Nnewi to become great industrial hubs, no Igbo leader has made any noise for this places to get federal government attention. Instead they are asking for appointments and the e-rats are supporting them as if the appointments would benefit any of them. Ekwueme is asking for Federal character to be respected in appointments. Funny enough, the appointments will not get to you but his Children and other Igbo elites. Continue looking for what to use and pull Buhari down instead of enagaging him with demands to build the South East. Other regions will key into his change agenda and he will win elections again even if he gets zero votes in the whole of the South East. You will be shocked when the Niger Delta you are fighting for vote for even Buhari! Those who have ears ....

Diezani had been billed to travel to the UK next week Tuesday according to a source, however upon learning that Buhari was traveling to London, she asked the airline to book her on the same flight as Buhari so that she could have a chance to discuss directly with the President-Elect. The British Airways flight departed Abuja this morning at 9:00am Nigerian time.
Several aides and close associates of Buhari said they were surprised to learn of the trip since they were with him till 7PM last night shortly after he arrived from his hometown, Duara.
A family source told SaharaReporters that Buhari was traveling to London for the weekend and is expected back in Nigeria on Tuesday in time for the swearing in ceremonies.
