The trailer of Star Wars episode 7- The Force Awakens
was out over the weekend and there was quite a stir on
social media because John Boyega, A Nigerian, is black
and acting the role of an Imperial Stormtooper (fictional
soldiers); a role that they say has only been played by
white people.
The hashtag #blackstormtrooper was a trending topic on
Twitter over the weekend, leading to some people
writing racist comments.
John, who also acted in Half of a Yellow Sun as
Chiwetel Ejiofor's character's houseboy, maturely
handled the critics in one post on instagram. Find what
he said after the cut...

I need someone to please explain how to set this app. I've got the configurations, just don't know how to set it.

If na only two people you see, you be born racist

By Femi Aribisala
The 2015 election will likely be, to all intents and
purposes, a contest between two PDP politicians.
When Muhammadu Buhari ran for president in 2011, he
made a solemn pledge to Nigerians: “This campaign is the
third and last one for me. I will not offer myself again for
election into the office of president.” Buhari was
persuaded to break this pledge because Bola Tinubu made
him an offer he could not refuse. He would merge his ACN
party with Buhari’s CPC party. Tinubu’s putative South-
West strength would be combined with Buhari’s mythical
North-West supremacy. The result of this alchemy would
be politically unstoppable: next stop Aso Rock!
However, this plan started to unravel soon after the
marriage and the honeymoon. Overwhelmingly, Nigerian
public opinion rejected the idea of a Muslim/Muslim
presidential ticket; effectively short-circuiting all
delusions of a dream Buhari/Tinubu ticket. With APC’s
nerve-wracking loss in its presumed stronghold of Ekiti,
and with it only able to eke out a victory in its Osun
backyard, and with Mimiko’s defection in Ondo bringing
that state back to the ambit of the PDP, Tinubu’s much-
vaunted strength in the South-West became more fiction
than fact.



Fourth coming of Buhari
If the door was slammed shut to a possible vice-
presidency, Tinubu still has the plan B of nominating a
disciple as Buhari’s vice-presidential running-mate. Thus,
when Buhari finally declared his candidature for president
for a marathon fourth time at Eagle Square, Abuja,
Tinubu’s ACN brigadiers were there in full regalia to give
him conspicuous moral support. The wily Asiwaju himself
was absent, perhaps in order to seem an honest broker
among the APC presidential gladiators. Nevertheless, he
was suitably represented by his Senator wife, Oluremi
Tinubu. Other ACN timber and caliber, including
Babatunde Fashola of Lagos, were also in attendance.
However, rather than crate an unstoppable momentum,
Buhari’s formal declaration only seemed to have
concentrated minds about his chances. The prognosis was
inauspicious. There would be no good luck in Buhari’s
fourth outing. The man is simply politically unelectable as
Nigeria’s president. Some of his turn-coat political allies
always feared this. For example, Nasir El-Rufai, who now
virtually operates as Buhari’s “chief of staff,” observed
just a few years back that Buhari remains “perpetually
unelectable” as a result of his “insensitivity to Nigeria’s
diversity and his parochial focus.”
Buhari’s declared candidacy re-awakened old angst about
his cynical political antecedents, and it made many
reappraise his chances more realistically, now that his
candidature was beyond conjecture. The conclusion
remains the same. Buhari has die-hard Hausa-Fulani
support in the North. But he has even more dyed-in-the-
wool opposition in most other parts of the federation. His
core Northern support is unlikely to translate yet again to
victory at the centre, even with the promissory note of
Tinubu’s fading ACN support in the South-West.


Back to the supermarket
Any right-thinking person knows that Buhari is not the
type of man to allow Tinubu to become the king behind
his presidential throne. Therefore, it did not take long for
the Tinubu mafia to start shopping for a new candidate
with much less political baggage than Buhari. Indeed, the
writing is on the wall that they are now more than likely to
ditch Buhari in order to pitch their tent with some other,
more malleable, APC presidential hopeful.
One likely choice is embattled Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal,
who finally announced his divorce from the PDP this
month, after committing adultery with the opposition for
the better part of four years. Tambuwal had his eyes on
the position of Governor of Sokoto State. But in a dramatic
turnaround, he has now been persuaded to pick up the
nomination form for the APC presidential contest.
Suddenly, the Tinubu brigadiers are now saying Buhari is
too old to be president. Indeed, if elected, he would be
Nigeria’s oldest president at 73. If he runs successfully for
two terms, he would still be president at 81. The
question-mark of Buhari’s age was hardly a hidden secret
until now. It is just that, in the treacherous terrain of
Nigerian politics, it provides a ready-made excuse for
ditching him.


Fashola, who was there to support Buhari at his Eagle
Square declaration, now says what Nigeria needs are
young leaders and not geriatrics: “When 40-year olds are
now leading nations and our 40-year olds can’t even get
to the Senate, they can’t even become governors. Are we
really preparing this generation for the future? Those are
the issues really. We cannot point to success in other
countries and refuse to do what those people are doing to
get things right.” This is a coded way of saying Buhari is
now way too old for Aso Rock.

Machiavellian politics
Politics is a treacherous business. Buhari should know
this by now. He himself was treacherous in being part of a
gang of military officers that seized power illegally from a
democratically-elected government through the barrel of a
gun. He was then, in turn, treacherously overthrown by
his own mates. Buhari should know he is dealing with
politicians seasoned in betrayal. Indeed, duplicity is the
stuff politics and politicians are made of. In politics,
everybody stabs everybody in the back. Therefore,
everybody should expect to be stabbed in the back.
Asked if he would back Buhari if Buhari wins the
nomination for the APC ticket, Atiku told everyone he
would easily stab Buhari in the back; without seeming to
realise it. He said: “I think I have proved that I am a
pragmatic politician. Recall that in 2010 when I failed to
get the PDP ticket against President Jonathan, I and
others went to try to bring about an electoral alliance
between the CPC and ACN.” Atiku’s “pragmatism” is the
stuff of treachery. He failed in the PDP so he promptly
switched to create an alliance between two other
opposition parties. The bell tolls for the APC.


Nuhu Ribadu, as EFCC chairman, named Bola Tinubu as
public enemy number one. But then he turned around to
become the anointed presidential candidate of Tinubu’s
ACN party. This did not prevent Tinubu from stabbing him
in the back. Tinubu entered into a last minute deal with
Buhari of the CPC. Then again, he entered into another
suspected backroom deal with Goodluck Jonathan and the
PDP. But there was payback time for Ribadu. Ribadu was
part of the APC merger. But then he chose his time to
ditch Tinubu and the APC for the PDP.

Some of us have long maintained that Buhari is a political
neophyte. We have had cause to warn him that nobody
wins the nomination of a political party like the APC,
laden with corrupt politicians; by saying he will fight
corruption if elected. Buhari’s anti-corruption hyperbole is
part of what is responsible for the buyers-remorse his
presidential bid is already experiencing.
Pocket infrastructure
Without the backing of the Tinubu brigade, Buhari does
not have a prayer in getting the APC ticket. His lack of
political know-how is going to be a major handicap. He is
up against people like Atiku Abubakar; seasoned wheeler-
dealer politicians who know how to arm-twist convention
delegates. Buhari, on the other hand, has never had to
fight to get a party’s nomination. Instead, parties have
been formed around his presidential ambitions.
Atiku, in particular, has haggled and wrangled through
many nomination conventions since the early 1990s.
Moreover, he has a war-chest of naira bank-notes with
which to grease the process. But Buhari, the man who
claims he had to take a bank loan in order to buy the APC
presidential nomination papers, is going to have a difficult
time convincing APC delegates to pitch their tent with him
without providing pocket infrastructure. Buhari’s approach
is not the realistic way to run for president in today’s
federal republic of Nigeria.
The imminent ditching of Buhari by Tinubu means the
forthcoming APC convention to choose the party’s
presidential candidate is going to be a bloodbath. It is
really going to be ugly. There will be dead bodies strewn
all over the convention floor. Dogs and baboons will
surely be soaked in blood. With its do-or-die politicians
fighting to finish on the eve of the February elections, the
APC will soon provide a textbook case of how not to
campaign against an established party like the PDP in
Nigeria.
Buhari’s talakawa supporters, who caused mayhem when
he lost the last presidential election, will not take kindly
to his likely defeat at the APC primaries. If Buhari is
rejected, he would be humiliated. It would have been
better for him not to have run. Don’t buy all the pious talk
that the losers will support the winner; it is not going to
happen. Even if Buhari were to decide to be diplomatic
about his defeat, his incendiary supporters don’t have the
word diplomacy in their vocabulary.
Catch-22
The APC is caught in a Catch-22. If it fields Buhari, it will
fail at the polls under the weight of his previous political
bag and baggage. If it rejects Buhari, all reliance on his
mystical 12 million votes will go up in smoke. Tambuwal,
Kwankwaso or Atiku cannot replicate those votes. They
have neither Buhari’s hype nor his charisma. With Buhari
out of the reckoning, many of his disgruntled supporters
would rather riot than vote. The APC itself would implode
under the weight of its own internal contradictions. This
is the anti-climax to all the hue and cry about the 2015
election that is now in the cards.
The ditching of Buhari would open a clear pathway for
Atiku; the politician’s politician and Aminu Tambuwal, the
dark horse. Atiku’s dismal performance in previous polls is
eloquent testimony that his presidential hopes are a pie in
the sky. Tambuwal in the APC ticket would be even worse
than the last showing of Nuhu Ribadu of the ACN, who
was even better-known nationally than Tambuwal.
All these shenanigans means the 2015 election will likely
be, to all intents and purposes, a contest between two
PDP politicians. The APC that boasts to be an alternative
to the PDP is likely to end up with a former PDP member
as its presidential candidate. That is change we can
certainly do without.

Team UNIBEN has previously also broken a record when
they attended the Shell eco-marathon Europe in may
2014 with its first made in Nigeria car Tuketuke, making
it the first team from Sub Saharan Africa to participate in
the Shell eco-marathon. These two cars were handmade
by these students alone in the workshop.
Tuketuke has innovative features like automatic
windscreen wiper, button actuated gears, fingerprint
access, ankara interior and fibreglass body. Both cars
won all 10 technical and safety inspections, which I
might add, are world standard, that qualified them to
race on the track.
They are currently taking yet another challenge to build
two cars that will participate in another shell eco-
marathon in the Netherlands next year.
Students involved include: Osas Omijie, Festus ibidapo,
adekola adeyemi, abdulmalik tajliad, Daniel okwoka,
justice Oyemike, emmanuel Ajari, eloghosa iyamu, James
itoro, Jennifer orji, Anne monye, Michael olukoya,and
Victor adegboye, 13 students in total supervised by
Professor Akii Ibhadode (Winner, NLNG Award for

NYC one @op, at least I learnt something.

If a presidential debate is conducted between the two major presidential candidates in Nigeria, that is, GMB and GEJ, who do you think will win?

Does winning or losing the debate has any part to play in governance of any of the aforementioned presidential candidate?



In my view, debate skill is one of the most important facets of leadership because it serves as an excellent method to show the leader’s belief and confidence in the position, courage, verbal skills and political vocation to the
nation. Thus, debate performance also shows whether the leader is qualified to develop the well-being of the nation and to lead the nation through the crisis or not. Presidents should be good debaters because in order to decide whether or not a bill or law should be passed, they have to be able to argue their opinion on a subject. If they can’t have a strong opinion on a subject and be able to debate over it, then I don’t see how a President can make
decisions and lead an entire country over an issue. Presidents have to have an idea of what they think the country should be like, and be able to vouch for their idea, if they can’t, then the candidate would not be a suitable President.
In conclusion there is really no substitute for an argument between two smart people. It is fascinating — and enlightening to hear both perspectives and delve into the
philosophical, logical, and pragmatic differences of each. Not only do candidates need to be good debaters, they need to be excellent debaters, as
should any candidate for public office. One must be able to articulate, and affirm/negate the positions and viewpoints of different issues.


So what are your own point of view to the topic stated.
