Diversity

Diversity refers to the inherent complexities of the variations in the social fabric of a people. Elements of poorly managed diversities include absence of cohesion, low capacity or political will to address resulting tensions, weak institutions of the state, in-equalities in every facet, impunity, breakdown of mutual trust, rising incidences of violence and total breakdown of law and order. To quickly reverse this observable trend in our society:

Management of the Economy for prosperity

Every Nigerian deserves to benefit from the running of our collective resources. We promise not to leave any Nigerian behind in our determination to create, expand and ensure equitable and effective allocation of economic opportunities. No matter the amount of funds we generate, unless there is an efficient and effective utilization, it will only create few billionaires.  Unless we fight corruption, the economy will only benefit the greedy in our society.

First of all, i was corrected that their database could be online.

Second of all, the word "impossible" doesnt exist in IT, so its really possible to hack any database, it becomes heavily difficult depending on the security.... Difficult - not- impossible

Obviously many of you are illiterate when it comes to IT. No man born of a woman can ever, ever ever hack into an offline server even bill gate cannot, the best hacker on planet earth can never unless you have direct access meaning you are with the system.

Common sense.

I found this video, backstage, the non-violence deal signed by all political parties.

http://instagram.com/p/x-HfvAPQqh/ the clips is just few seconds.

Yes! He has increased it on paper. Thank you.

They should go ahead spreading false information, giving us more reasons why we should vote Buhari.

No amount of propaganda can deter us.

Am gonna miss Jim. I really love his style of presentation and broadcasting generally.

"I'm Jim Clancy and you have been briefed". His programme The Brief.

I love Richard Quest too. "Wherever your business may take you, I do hope is profitable" his programme. CNN business traveller and Quest means business.

These guys inspire me a lot. If I have the funds, I'll invest in Broadcasting.

Jonathan’s government is clueless, Nigeria needs urgent change – Okogie


A former Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Anthony Cardinal Okogie, has said the government of President Goodluck Jonathan is clueless and that the country was in dire need rescue from what he said is the “imminent brink of irredeemable destruction.” Okogie disclosed this while speaking in Lagos at the 11th edition of the Gani Fawehinmi Annual Lecture/Symposium, where he was the chairman of the occasion. He urged Nigerians to face the reality and elect only persons “who know what to do,” adding that a lot needs to be done to sensitize voters not to vote for leaders based on ethnic or religious affiliations. Okogie also blasted the Jonathan-led government over the rising level of insecurity and economic woes in the country. He said, “There is extra urgency to rescue Nigeria. This is the time when every right thinking Nigerian must pray to hate the present situation strong enough so as to desire the fortitude to act right. “This time does not allow for indifference. All must rise to save Nigeria from the brink of irredeemable destruction. This is the time we must play politics of the best, for the best position, in order to guarantee the best for our nation. “Let only those with the fear of God and love of their neighbours rule Nigeria; only those who know what to do should sit at the helm of affairs. Enough of mediocrity, enough of failures, enough of nepotism, and enough of ethnicity.” Okogie also described the late Fawehinmi as a courageous, principled, selfless and a detribalised statesman. He said, “It is said that Gani Fawehinmi died a sad man. For a man who was fearless in speaking his mind without caring whose ox is gored, he was jailed many times and detained many more times for no personal crime but for his struggle to ensure justice, fairness and good governance in the country, dying without seeing signs that the new dispensation he struggled for will be achieved is a devastating blow. “Now in death, the knowledge that Nigeria has deteriorated so badly since his passing away must be giving Gani sleeplessness.” He added that if Fawehinmi were to be alive, he would have been worried over the present state of the nation “which is riddled with lies, deception, incompetence, mediocrity, hopelessness, lawlessness and lack of vision.” Got a news tip, article or press release for us?

@op obviously you can't read. It was written on the screen PDP gubernatorial campaign in Kano. GEJ is in abakaliki

We have less than a month. E go over una.

I will create 2 million jobs yearly when I return to power - GEJ

This guy forgot he's been there for 6 God damn years.

Okorocha will be next after Buhari.

#whereisour$377m

#GEJ,WhereIsOur$377m

I think when Buhari was arrested in dordan barracks that's where his might have misplaced his certificate.

I don't know, just thinking.

#WhereIsOur$377m

The house of commons discussed about Nigeria and terrorism in the north. They said the UK has allocated $377m to Nigeria in 2014 alone to fight terrorism in the Northern part of Nigeria and it is the biggest ever given to a single country.

My question is, FG never told us they got that money, where did the money go?

Late Independence, so the white would educate us properly and help in developing Nigeria, even if it means drilling our oil it doesn't matter. Nigeria would have been a better place now like South Africa.

Alleged N750m bribe: Two PDP leaders on the run

Abuja billionaire in custody

Aspirants to testify against officials

Who got the N750 million nomination bribe that has caused a huge scandal in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)?

Two key officials of the ruling party’s National Working Committee (NWC) fingered in the deal are said to be on the run.

A manhunt has begun for them as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) cast its net wide to recover the cash.

House of Representatives member Ndudi Elumelu was said to have given the cash to win the party’s Delta State governorship ticket.

An Abuja billionaire, who collected the money from Elumelu, is in police custody.

He is said to be a friend of a PDP National Vice Chairman and son-in-law of a former Minister of Aviation.

The suspect was arrested last Friday and some exotic cars were taken away from his Abuja home.

While EFCC is looking into Elumelu’s petition, more aspirants have volunteered to testify on the huge cash-for- nomination deals during PDP’s primaries.

Elumelu petitioned EFCC when he could not get the party’s governorship ticket.

A source in EFCC said: “So far, we have been able to get clues that two members of the NWC of PDP had direct link with the collection and disbursement of the N750 million.

“We have their names and we may invite them for interrogation any moment from now. The suspect said he was just helping a friend and the money was handed over to some NWC members.

“It is too early to prejudge the affected NWC members. But when we invite them, we will let you know.

“But the suspect is still with us giving vital information on how he tried to help Elumelu as a friend.”

As of press time, the affected NWC members were trying to wield influence to resolve the matter amicably.

A party source said: “There is tension everywhere, the NWC members are calling for amicable resolution of the issue at stake.

“They do not want anything that can affect the image of the party. I think they want to refund the cash quietly to avoid any backlash on the party and their political career.

“I think the luck with Ndudi Elumelu is that he is from a well-connected family which will make cheating him difficult”.

Findings also revealed that a chartered jet was also on standby for some of those behind the deal in order to get the governorship ticket for Elumelu.

Another source added: “They embarked on many shuttles with a chartered jet during the transaction.

“The N750million deal was one of the reasons why Tony Obuh, the hitherto  anointed candidate of the Governor of Delta State, Emmanuel Uduaghan lost out.

“To some extent, those who collected the cash assisted in scheming out Obuh from the race. But they could not rout out the party’s eventual governorship candidate, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, whom they did not know had been a friend of the National Chairman of PDP, Alhaji Adamu Muazu, for many years.

“They really cheated Uduaghan without knowing that they were digging their graves.”

Other aggrieved aspirants are also seeking their pounds of flesh. They are said to be ready to squeal on how some PDP leaders negotiated nomination deals with them.

A third source said: “Since this incident became  public knowledge, more aspirants have volunteered to go to EFCC with more information about the activities of the Screening, Electoral Committees and Appeal Committees.

“You could see that during the primaries, some aspirants were disqualified but miraculously they were cleared again.

“Some said they parted with huge sums without getting the party’s tickets for offices aspired to.

“They said they have records of how the monies were paid or wired. I think there will be more revelations in the days ahead.”

"I have no enemies to fight" - GEJ.

Now I know why we can't defeat Boko Haram.

PDP internal crisis not APC supporters. We cannot be deceived.

Buhari won't jail the masses, so we are not going to prison but GEJ and his crooks are going.

PDP internal crisis in Jos. It has nothing to do with APC

http://m.news24.com/nigeria/Elections/News/Aggrieved-PDP-members-burn-down-Jonathans-campaign-office-20150105

All comments are true. Only brainless humans will vote GEJ.

True story.

DSS cannot investigate BOKO Haram sponsors, they cannot find boko haram members to arrest, they can't even go to Borno State, now they are now PDP mouth piece.

DSS, PDP, Police, Army, Navy even Airforce can't stop this change. It's blowing everywhere like A/C. Even Nigerians in diaspora are already feeling it.

So, no shaking. Everything bam. Let them continue, they are helping us to convert undecided voters.

I am happy.

Rigging things from PDP. I have my pvc and only INEC is qualified to see it on elections day.

They can visit after FeBUHARI 14th. I smell campaign strategy.

Funny enough it's even 2 factions in PDP fighting.

Na dem sabi.
