"....we need remind ourselves of
the principles that led to the founding of the United Nations. Among
those are peaceful coexistence and self-determination of peoples...."
those were the words of the duara dullard at 70th Session of UN General
Assembly...
the question here is was Buhari just reading a speech without knowing what the words or texts in the speech meant.....?
Illiteracy is indeed a curse......

Following the variations in global time zone, some countries have welcomed year 2016 while others are still expecting.



Samoa and Kiribati were the first countries to usher in 2016 followed by New Zealand which put up an impressive fireworks display, reported to be the biggest in the city’s history.

Nigeria and some other African countries will welcome year 2016 at exactly 12:00 midnight.

What a country, Buhari now approbate and reprobates as he doubles as the President and Chief Justice of Nigeria.....
This man has brought back Nigeria to her former state of outright disregard for judiciary and court orders....

what a country, Buhari now approbate and reprobates....

. LAGOS, Nigeria — Nigeria ’ s government will
not release two prominent detainees despite
several court orders for their release , and will
not comment on the situation of a third,
wounded detainee , President Muhammadu
Buhari said Wednesday .
Buhari, a former military dictator who calls
himself a born - again democrat , did not discuss
the propriety of defying court orders when he
spoke on national TV .
“ If you see the atrocities these people committed
against this country !” Buhari said in
justification . “ We can ’ t allow them to jump
bail. ”
A Federal High Court set no bail conditions and
ordered the unconditional release of Biafra
separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu on Dec. 17 . Kanu
was detained Oct . 17 on charges recently
escalated to terrorism and financing terrorism .
His cause led to a civil war that killed 1 million
people in the 1960 s .
Former national security adviser Sambo Dasuki
was detained Nov. 4 after intelligence agents
surrounded his home for days to prevent him
from leaving the country after a court allowed
him bail to seek medical care abroad .
Dasuki is accused , among other things , of
diverting $ 2 . 2 billion meant to buy arms to fight
the Boko Haram Islamic uprising . Three courts
have ordered his release on bail.
“ What of the over two million people displaced,
most of them orphans whose fathers have been
killed?” Buhari asked . “ We cannot allow that. ”
He refused to discuss the situation of Shiite
leader Ibraheem Zakzaky , who was detained
with four bullet wounds Dec . 14 in military
raids that allegedly killed hundreds of his
followers.
The army said the raids and bulldozing of
Zakzaky ’ s home and Shiite spiritual centers was
a response to an alleged Shiite attempt to
assassinate Nigeria ’ s army chief. Human Rights
Watch has said the raid was unprovoked.
Authorities have refused to allow anyone to see
Zakzaky .
Buhari said he would not comment until an
investigation is complete .

…Release Kanu now, right activist tells Buhari
By Anayo Okoli, Chimaobi Nwaiwu & Nwabueze Okonkwo
FATHER of detained Biafran activist, Nnamdi Kanu, His Royal Majesty,
Eze Israel Kanu, has denied reports that his detained son has apologised
to President Mohammadu Buhari for allegedly referring to him as a
terrorist.
Also, the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, dismissed the same report,
saying that their leader had at no time apologised to President Buhari.
Similarly, Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of
Biafra, MASSOB, has described as completely false, the calculated and
systematic attempt by agents of Federal Government to discredit IPOB
and MASSOB with the claim that Kanu has apologised over his comments
against some Nigerians.
MASSOB leader, Mr. Uchenna Madu, in a statement, said, the news in
the media that Nnamdi Kanu had apologised to Buhari was a complete
falsehood and a calculated and systematic attempt by agents of the
Federal Government to discredit, disorganize and frustrate the agitation
for actualization of aBiafran State.
Eze Kanu said his son’s alleged apology was the handiwork of the
enemies of the struggles for Biafran emancipation, pointing out that his
son had never regretted his actions in the cause liberating his
marginalized people.
According to the monarch, who spoke with newsmen in Umuahia, Abia
State, his son could not have apologised to anybody since he was fighting
a just cause and has not violated any law to warrant any apologies to
anybody.
Fabrications
Eze Kanu said, however, that he was not surprised at such fabrications,
and maintained that he would never advise his son to give up his fight
for a sovereign State of Biafra since it was the wishes of the people.
He reinforced his unflinching support for his son, who he noted was
championing a just cause. He advised leaders to stop trying to project his
son in bad light through the internet, and accused some media houses of
collaborating with the Federal Government to portray his son in a bad
light and also frustrate the agitation for independent Biafra.
He appealed to President Buhari to free his son, insisting that his son has
done nothing to warrant his unlawful detention even against the
judgments of courts.
IPOB in a statement, yesterday in Umuahia through its spokesman, Emma
Powerful, dismissed the media report as “a blatant lie and cheap
propaganda by its sponsors to create the wrong impression that Kanu is
backing out of the Biafran project.”
IPOB accused the Federal Government of planting the said report to
dampen the morale of Kanu’s followers and other Biafran agitators.
Tissue of lies
“It is an insult to the entire Biafran Republic for anyone to expect any
apology from Kanu over his activities towards facilitating Biafra’s
autonomy. The purported report that Kanu had apologised to Buhari over
Biafra is not only a tissue of lies but a lame attempt by the enemies of
Biafra to cause disaffection among the agitators.
“This latest trick is nothing but part of the grand design by the Federal
Government to blackmail our leader and weaken the confidence of IPOB
members in him.
“We are not surprised at this concocted trash because government is
already intimidated by Kanu’s rising popularity and following among the
good people of Biafra. Kanu will rather prefer to die in detention than
apologise to anybody over his efforts to actualize self-determination for
the oppressed people of Biafra,” it added.
Also, IPOB National Coordinator, Mr. Chidiebere Onwudiwe, dismissed the
publication, describing same as “the machinations of the Department of
State Service, DSS, to save its face having been disgraced by the
courts with granting of Kanu bail.
“The publication was totally false and should be ignored by the public. No
amount of intimidation, harassment, torture, killings, arrest and blackmail
can make Kanu apologise for anything. Nothing will ever make us to
stop the agitation for the actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra.
“DSS is not sincere, if they have respect for the constitution of Nigeria,
they would have released Kanu as directed by the courts, instead, they
are looking for new charges to jail him, but they will fail again, as they
have discovered that they will not make any progress in their quest to
jail Kanu. They are now looking for soft-landing to chicken out of the
case with the claim that Kanu is apologising, a claim that does not hold
water.”
IPOB urged media to beware of the false claims by DSS, saying that
“Kanu is not disturbed in any way over his long incarceration, his spirit is
very high and he will be received like a hero he is, any day they are
tired of holding him and decides to release him.
“Kanu is in detention for us, we are here for him, DSS should stop
embarrassing itself with the false information they are churning out to
the public. If they are honest in what they are claiming about Kanu’s
apology, they should publish the copy of the said apology as an advert in
the newspapers so that the world can see. If they say they culled it
from the statement he wrote in DSS detention, how then did it become
an apology to people.”
Madu added: “The agitation for the actualization of Biafra has gained
international prominence and sympathy even before Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest
and detention, and his current detention has further strengthened the
agitation, so this latest move and campaign of calumny by enemies and
oppressors of Biafrans is a sign that they are jittery, frustrated and are
afraid of the fast rising and global acceptance of Biafrans struggle for
actualization of state of Biafra.
A true Biafran
“MASSOB and IPOB shall never be discouraged, frustrated, disorganized,
dislocated or relent on the non-violent Biafran actualization because of
this false statement credited to Nnamdi Kanu. Mazi Kanu as a true
Biafran can never compromise the integrity, confidence and trust of
Biafra freedom fighters no matter the condition, subjection or oppression
by DSS and Nigerian government.
“This Nigerian Government latest move to discredit IPOB and MASSOB
has propelled us to redouble our efforts and strategies on Biafra
agitation, we shall intensify our non-violence approach as MASSOB and
IPOB march ahead for Biafra actualization.”
Also, human rights activist and Archdeacon of Oyi Anglican
Archdeaconry in Anambra State, Venerable Joseph Nweke has advised
President Buhari to release Nnamdi Kanu without further delay.
He said Kanu’s continued detention due to disobedience to court orders
could be likened to the Biblical Pharoah, who refused to allow the
Israelites to leave Egypt and also the Biblical St. John, the Apostle, who
could not be killed by the enemies, even after they threw him into hot
oil.
Wrath of God
Venerable Nweke, who spoke at St. Mark’s Anglican Church, Ogbunike in
Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State, during a church service
to mark St. John the Apostles Day, specifically called on Buhari not to
harden his heart to avoid attracting the wrath of God like
Nebuccadnezzar did and was turned into a beast as a punishment.
Nweke, who is also the Director of Civil and Political Affairs, Anambra
State chapter, said he had gradually followed the charges preferred
against Kanu logically and came to a conclusion that he did not do
anything to warrant his continued detention against all the orders of
various courts of competent jurisdiction.
He contended that even if Kanu had a case to answer in the law courts,
he should first be released from the detention while his trial in court
continued.
“This is a voice of reason. I foresee a situation where God visited His
anger on Buhari if he failed to release Kanu from the detention. So, I
am advising Mr. President to release him in order to escape that wrath,”
he said.

malvisguy212:
have you done a research properly ? If you do you will know why, the book of enoch is devilish
The book of enoch say man wisdom came from DEMON named Penemue .

We read in the Book of Enoch, chapter 69:8-12...
8 ...And the fourth was named
Penemue: he taught the
9 children of men the bitter and
the sweet, and he taught them
all the secrets of their wisdom.
And he instructed mankind in
writing with ink and paper, and
thereby many sinned from
eternity to
10 eternity and until this day.
For men were not created for
such a purpose, to give
confirmation
11 to their good faith with pen
and ink. For men were created
exactly like the angels, to the
intent that they should continue
pure and righteous, and death,
which destroys everything, could
not have taken hold of them, but
through this their knowledge
they are perishing, and through
this power
12 it is consuming me.

What ... man's wisdom came from a demon named Penemue? That's crazy! Did ink and paper cause the fall of the human race? Whoa ... I'd better through all my fine-point pens away immediately! It was Adam's sin that brought sin into the world (Romans 5:12); not evil literature. Mankind is inherently evil of himself, prone to the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21). The Charismatics (Pentecostals) give far too much credit to demons for the sinful actions of men. They believe that every sin a person commits is evidence of
demon-possession. That is absurd! Men and women sin because they are sinners! (Romans 3:10,23).

I have just gone through ur post thoroughly, i cant find a place it is implied that the book of Enoch is devilish. Deductively, ur post gives credit to the fact that sin came to this world through one man, being the devil, just as the bible tells.........
On a comparative basis, there shouldn't be any form of bias studying the bible and the book of enoch side by side....

Shame on seun and his rule no 9.... the least he can do is to ban me...... I don't care........

Ade Adesomoju, Abuja

A Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday ordered an unconditional
release a leader of pro-Biafra leader and Director of Radio Biafra, Mr.
Nnamdi Kanu, from the custody of the Department of State Service.
Justice Adeniyi Ademola in a ruling on Kanu’s bail application held his
continued detention for about two months without any pending charges
against him against the provisions of section 35(4) of the Constitution.
The judge also set aside an order granted the DSS on November 10,
2015 permitting the DSS to keep Kanu in its custody for 90 days.
Earlier on Wednesday, a Magistrate’s Court in Wuse Zone 2 of the
Federal Capital Territory on Wednesday struck out the charges instituted
against a Kanu by the DSS.
The DSS had applied for the discontinuance of the case to enable it to
file charges of terrorism and terrorism financing against him.
But Justice Ademola ruled on Thursday that with the continued
detention of the pro-Biafra leader for over two months showed that
the DSS lacked sufficient material to prosecute him or had yet to make
up its mind to do so.

The Magistrate of Chief Magistrate Court, Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, Shuaibu Usman, on Wednesday discharged the director of Radio Biafra and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, on all counts of criminal conspiracy and ownership of an unlawful society filed against him by the Federal Government. The judge, who held that government has dropped the charges against Kanu, said, “The accused person is hereby discharged and the case struck out.” The federal government through its agent, the Department of State Services (DSS), opted to withdraw the case at the lower court and moved to higher court, which has jurisdiction to handle terrorism related cases. Usman was scheduled to deliver judgment on the DSS application on December 1, but put it off until Wednesday.

By this post, the mental state of obasanjo is no longer in doubt....... view it as U want want......

I think this is to the effect of validating the description of the physical appearance of Jesus Christ as in Isaiah 53:1-5.. More emphasis should be on verse 2 of the same chapter....
The scientist might be right.
Jesus Christ is Lord over all.....

The babe is high on alabokun.....

This powerful of a man is not IPOB spokes person.... he should be disregard. I remember vividly when he came out openly with his MASSOB counterpart and issued a statement to halt the current IPOB protest sweeping across south-south and south-east.
of which, Mefor, on radio Biafra countered that all protests across the zoo called Nigeria continues..
Powerful is a stooge to the Nigerian government and should be highly disregard......
All authentic news on IPOB and Biafra issues comes from Uche Mefor, the duly deputy director of radio Biafra..
God bless Nnamdi Kanu
God bless Radio Biafra.
God bless Biafra.

Southern Ijaw votes to decide winner as PDP alleges rigging plot
■We’ll win, boasts APC
■Ex-militants in shooting spree, scare away voters -5

THE RESULT

LGA PDP APC
1. Yenagua 24,256. 14,563
2. Kolokuma 7,619 6,896
3. Sagbamu 28,934 5,382
4. Brass 6,516 21,755
5. Ekeremor 14,602 7,918

From Femi Folaranmi, Yenagoa & Charles Adegbite

Preliminary results released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) yesterday showed that Governor Seriake Dickson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is leading in the four of the five Local Government Areas (LGAs). The PDP scored 81,929 votes while the All Progressives Congress (APC) has 56,514.

This is even as Dickson’s opponent, Chief Timipre Sylva of the APC alleged rigging. Bayelsa has eight LGAs. The poll was held last Saturday.
The rescheduled election was to hold in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area but a shoot-out between security agents and ex-militants stopped the exercise as voters scampered for their safety.

Also, Governor Dickson, had in a broadcast yesterday urged Bayelsians to resist any alleged rigging plot by the APC even as he raised a commission of enquiry to probe the atrocities perpetrated by government officials.
Meanwhile, the Sylva-Igiri Campaign Organisation has accused Governor Dickson of violating electoral laws by visiting Southern Ijaw Local Government Area to protest against the rescheduled election.
The organization which said Dickson also visited the Yenagoa Collation Centre on Saturday said the governor had led a large entourage to Oporoma, headquarters of the local government.

The Director of Publicity, Chief Nathan Egba, said Governor Dickson is from Sagbama Local Government Area and has no basis going to monitor the conduct of an election in another area on an election day in line with the electoral guidelines.
“This is clearly an act of desperation by the governor, in company of the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Mr. Kombowei Benson, who is from the LGA, they reportedly met with INEC officials on ground and told them not to go ahead with the poll. The INEC officials had reportedly told the governor that he had no powers to stop the election,” he said.

The Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Hassimu Argungu, said the police are investigating claims of Dicksion allegedly breaching the electoral law by going to Oporoma and visiting INEC Yenagoa Collation Centre.

Also, the PDP has sent a protest letter to INEC over the rescheduled election in Southern Ijaw. The state chairman, Chief Serena Dokubo- Spiff, who read the protest letter to newsmen, said the party wants to register its concern over the decision to conduct the election amid security concerns.

According to him, the concern stems from the fact tha the violence perpetrated by suspected thugs has led to the loss of five lives including a policeman.

He said the PDP believes that adequate security should be put in place before INEC would conduct the election in the area.
The letter reads in part, “From information, the majority of the indigenes of Oporoma, headquarters of Southern Ijaw and some other communities are still taking refuge in the forest and swamps as a result of heavy gunfire. The security situation has been confirmed to be even worse in the creeks and other communities in the area. The situation is so tense with guns shots heard in parts of Oporoma and other major communities in the local government area making it clearly impossible for any peaceful election to hold.

“It is therefore, our position that adequate arrangements be put in place within the next couple of days to ensure security for votes, INEC, adhoc staff, including youth corpers and materials because lives have already been lost. It is crucial to take steps to ensure that more lives are not lost. It is hoped that INEC the security agencies and other stakeholders take genuine fear into consideration so that the people of Southern Ijaw can freely exercise their civic responsibility,” he said.

In a related development, ex-militants have taken over Amassoma community in Southern Ijaw LGA during the rescheduled governorship election yesterday.

INEC and the Police had insisted that the election would go on despite protests by the PDP and Governor Dickson.
The voters were set for voting when the ex-militant leaders stormed the polling units and took away the electoral materials.

The police in Lagos have arrested a 54-year-old man, Michael Bisa, for allegedly selling fake phones to customers in the Oshodi area of the state.

PUNCH Metro learnt that Bisa, who hails from Effurun, Delta State, was arrested by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad on Saturday at about 5pm.

According to the police, Bisa allegedly swindled members of the public by disguising as a mobile phone seller in the area, selling bars of soap to them instead.

Our correspondent gathered that the police recovered bars of soap, shirts, some amount of money and envelopes from the suspect.

Bisa, a father of four, said in his statement that it was poverty that drove him to sell bars of soap as mobile phones.

He said, “What I did to my customers is called exchange. The people who came to me to buy mobile phones would be shown a real phone. But while we were discussing the price, I would carefully hide the phone in a white handkerchief and swap it with a bar of soap which I had already cut to size and put in a phone case.

“As soon as they left the spot, I would change my clothes so that the buyer would not recognise me again.”

Bisa added that a friend, who was now dead, identified as Hakeem Tijani, introduced him to the “job” about four years ago.

He said, “I was a refrigerator technician in Delta State. I came to Lagos to look for greener pastures about 15 years ago. When the situation got so hard for me, I met a friend, Hakeem Tijani, who is now late. He was the one who taught me the job. Since that time, about four years ago, I have been surviving this way.”

The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joe Offor, confirmed the arrest, adding that the suspect would be charged to court soon.
