FutureDon:
Oh I see, got mine for 250k thereabout. I came in with only 1k US dollars (I changed it to AUD when I arrived the airport here). So you may come in with that amount as well. You wouldn't even need to worry if you have got a Nigerian Visa/Mastercard debit card. As soon as you open an account in Australia (usually ready immediately), you can use your naija ATM to withdraw and deposit in your Australia account.

@futuredon let him come with 2k usd. when he gets to brisbane he can convert to aud... having such amount will make him feel relax... my 2cents...

I pray all of Buhari supporters find a place in their heart to accept the
fact that it takes only but a while before a man's deceptive nature
comes to light.
Muhammadu Buhari: Running for president with an anti-corruption
bank loan, By Femi Aribisala
One thing is for sure: Muhammadu Buhari would like to be the next
president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He has tried three times
and has failed every time. Finally realizing it is a lost cause, he said he
would not try again. But now he is persuaded to try again. His
supporters are impressed that he won 12 million votes against
Goodluck Jonathan in 2011. However, they need to be reminded that
he lost to Jonathan by over 10 million votes.
Since the third time did not turn out to be a charm for Buhari, what
are we to call his fourth attempt? Listening to the declaration of his
new-fangled presidential bid in Eagles’ Square, Abuja a few days ago,
it is seems this fourth time is going to be one big charade.
The sign was provided by none other than Buhari himself. Since his
one credential is that he is a man of integrity who, as president, is
expected to wrestle corruption down to the ground, Buhari decided to
burnish his anti-corruption image by revealing that he obtained his
27.5 million naira APC nomination form with a bank loan. However,
what this declaration did was to tell Nigerians that Buhari is a
pretentious anti-corruption crusader. His Mr. Clean posture is nothing
but a public relations gimmick.
Question marks
In fairness, some of us have known this all along. Under Buhari’s
watch as Petroleum Minister in the late 1970s, $2.8 billion (worth
billions of naira today) was missing from the NNPC account. The
matter was subject to Senate investigation under the chairmanship of
Olusola Saraki in 1983. But before the report could be dealt with,
Buhari conveniently overthrew the Shagari government in a military
coup d’état.
Vera Ifudu, an NTA newscaster, revealed that Saraki told her in an
interview that the missing money was traced to Buhari’s account at
Midland Bank in London. For this disclosure, Vera was summarily
sacked by the NTA. However, she appealed against her dismissal in
court and won. She even received a handsome financial
compensation for wrongful dismissal from the NTA. Instead of
clearing his name as a man of integrity, Buhari refused to appear
before the Oputa Panel set up to look into the matter (among under
things) by the Obasanjo administration.
Buhari claims to be an anti-corruption crusader, nevertheless, he
agreed to serve under Sani Abacha, one of the most corrupt Heads-
of-State ever in the history of Nigeria. While there has been no proven
allegation that Buhari corruptly enriched himself as Chairman of the
Petroleum Trust Fund under Abacha, it is abundantly clear that this
fabled anti-corruption crusader failed to curb the rampant corruption
that prevailed in the organization. Group Captain Usman Jibrin, a
board member of PTF, resigned from the organization in protest over
Buhari’s irregular appointments of consultants.
In 2000, the Obasanjo administration set up an Interim Management
Committee to look into the affairs of the PTF, under the chairmanship
of Haroun Adamu. The Committee discovered that billions of naira
was stolen under Buhari’s chairmanship.
Political platform
Now the same Buhari who would not or could not curb corruption in
the PTF wants us to believe he will fight corruption as president of
Nigeria. However, he has chosen the APC as the political platform on
which to undertake this. But the APC is an unscrupulous political
party that is choc-full of corrupt politicians. It is the party of Murtala
Nyako who was impeached as governor of Adamawa State for
converting state money to personal use. It is the party where Buhari
himself and others went cap-in-hand to Otta to beg Obasanjo to be
their “navigator.”
Surely Buhari knows that he cannot fight corruption by being the
presidential candidate of the APC. Whatever anti-corruption
crusading Buhari had in him in the past must have ended when he
decided to join the APC. Should he become president, does he intend
to probe his corrupt party-members? Has he made them understand
he would be coming after them once elected? If he has, does he really
expect them to help him get elected so he can retrieve their stolen
loot and send them off to jail?
A 72 year-old man with Buhari’s experience, who was overthrown in a
preemptive coup by members of his own government, knows that in
Nigeria, nobody gets elected as president on the platform that he is
going to be an anti-corruption crusader when he gets into office. That
is a sure signal for all the politicians in all the parties to gang up
against him and make sure he never makes it.
If you really want to be anti-corruption, you have to keep your mouth
shut about your plans until you get elected and then catch your
corrupt colleagues by surprise. You must also have resolved not to
seek re-election for a second-term. It is not only the populace, but the
politicians in particular, who insist on “stomach infrastructure.” But if
you are talking anti-corruption while still seeking the nomination of
your party, it must be because it is well known to your corrupt
colleagues that your anti-corruption stance is merely for public
consumption.
Cleaning up APC
It is not surprising, therefore, that despite all the noise about anti-
corruption coming from Buhari and his cohorts; he has failed to fight
against corruption in the APC. We did not hear him raise a voice
against the incongruity of a so-called progressive party demanding a
cynical nomination fee of 27.5 million naira for its presidential
primaries. One would have expected a truly anti-corruption crusader
to make the point that the nomination fee is unacceptable. Instead,
Buhari readily acquiesced to the requirement in order to safeguard his
all-important presidential ambitions.
Since Buhari cannot, or does not, fight against this corrupting
nomination fee in the APC, and insist on its reduction to something
far more reasonable, how can he expect us to believe that as
president in a political system with the separation of powers; against
a legislature likely to be controlled by the PDP; he would be able to
fight corruption? Somebody is fooling somebody here. Or else,
somebody is living in a cloud cuckoo land.
Charity, they say, begins at home. If Buhari is truly anti-corruption, he
should begin his crusade in the APC. Is it progressive for a political
party in Nigeria to ask its candidates to come up with 27.5 million
just for the nomination papers for an election where only one person
will emerge as the winner? Is it not corrupt politicians that are likely
to have this type of easy-come easy-go money? Is this not an open
invitation for the winner, if he actually manages to secure election to
the presidency, to recoup this extortionate fee from public funds?
Anti-corruption bank loan
What did anti-corruption Buhari do about this outrageous APC
requirement? This is where the whole matter becomes ridiculously
implausible. According to Buhari, rather than fight against the
measure, he took out a ban loan to pay for it.
Buhari told us about his “loan” out of embarrassment; in a pathetic
bid to validate his anti-corruption credentials. But this so-called loan
indicates that Buhari does not understand what it means to be anti-
corruption. For Buhari, anti-corruption is a posture; it is a swagger; it
is a badge; but it has no bite and, in the usual Nigerian fashion, it will
be prosecuted with hypocrisy.
Buhari wants us to believe that he cannot afford 27.5 million naira.
Nevertheless, he rides around in a bullet-proof Jeep and maintains a
convoy of Land Cruisers. He cannot afford 27.5 million naira.
Nevertheless, he declared his candidacy lavishly in Eagle Square,
Abuja. Did he also take out a bank loan for that? Four months to a
make-or-break election, Buhari would have us believe he has no
money. How does he propose to finance his presidential campaign?
Is he going to take 1 billion naira loan from the World Bank for this?
Dubious loan
Why would a bank lend Buhari that amount for a presidential pie-in-
the-sky that failed to materialize three times in the past? Is that not
likely to be a bad loan? How long did it take for the loan to be
processed? What did he put down as anti-corruption collateral? How
does he propose to pay the money back? Mr. Integrity needs to spell
all this out for the sake of his fast-disintegrating anti-corruption
credentials.
I did not know loans are so easy to secure in Nigerian banks today.
Perhaps Buhari could introduce me to his bank manager. I would also
not mind taking this kind of soft loan. I am sure I can always come
up with some unproductive excuse or the other for it. Is such a loan
even legal today under Nigeria’s stricter banking laws?
How many honest Nigerians can afford to give a non-refundable 27.5
million naira to a political party, on the off-chance that they will be
able to secure the party’s presidential ticket? If they win the
nomination and even get elected president, how would they pay back
the money?
Not presidential material
It is clear that Buhari is not only lacking the money to pay for APC
nomination papers, he does not have the funds to pay for advisers, to
counsel him about what to tell the public and how to prosecute an
effective presidential campaign. His advisers might have educated
him that there is something called “fund-raising.” Surely, the most
popular politician in the North-West can find some of his ardent
supporters to give him 27 million naira. Certainly, a former governor
of the Central Bank can easily cough up the money.
Buhari wants to fight an election that will take place in four months
time. From what he tells us, he does not have 27 million to prosecute
that election now. If this is true, he is not the right man to be
president of Nigeria. For a man who is running for election for the
fourth time, that is the height of cluelessness. It shows Buhari is
lousy at marshaling resources. Otherwise, he is fooling nobody but
himself. #kufre okon

kidnappers going advance with technology

Well-known Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has expressed
his opinion on Buhari’s intention to run against President
Goodluck Jonathan in the upcoming elections, SaharaReporters
reports.
The son of late famous Sheikh Abubakar Gumi, said on Tuesday
morning, that he believes there will be severe implications if the
ex head of state continues on his ambition to be the next
president. Sheikh Gumi wrote an open letter to this effect.
Several supporters of Buhari have criticised Gumi over a letter he
wrote on Goodluck and Buhari titled: The Second Round Of
Goodluck Vs Buhari: A Source Of Apprehension’ . Nigerians
reportedly accused him of jealousy and hatred for Buhari.
Read excerpt of the Sheikh Gumi’s open letter below:
I know I have access to your privy but this is meant for others to learn
also.
The prophet -peace be upon him- told one of the most honest and
truthful of his companions Abu Zar Algafary: “oh Abu Zar, I truly love
for you what I love for myself. I indeed see that you are weak so
never accept to lead even two people and never accept safekeeping of
the orphans wealth’
An honest and candid advice from the prophet that is still valid today
for any leader who’s weakness borders on leadership qualities.
The reason for Abu Zar’s weakness has nothing to do with his
credibility or truthfulness. Never! The prophet was narrated as saying:
“there is nobody under the shadows of trees or bare sun that is more
honest in speech than Abu Zar”
Abu Zar – May Allah be pleased with him- is ascetic and
inmaterialistic. Abu Zar is incorruptible. And yet he is not suitable for
leadership.
I am not claiming to be even by an atom’s weight anything close to
our noble prophet, yet I am encouraged to give you this same advice
by the virtue that you are not also close to Abu Zar in piety. We are
living in a time of great tribulations and fitnah especially for this
Ummah because of our collective iniquities, ignorance of religious
instructions and the love of Dunyah.
Sir, your weakness is not in your past impeccable record of
accountability of public wealth and the fight against corruption and
indispiline. Your weakness is in your inability to control men
compounded further by your strict and obsessive rejection of
corruption.
Don’t be surprised. You may need to understand that Islam being a
pragmatic religion allows the use of Zakkat and public wealth as an
instrument to pacify and lure influential people for the sake of
rightouness, peace and stability. In modern governance today it
translate into the security vote.
Thus men are also controlled by money. So if your policy of
governance is obsessibly centered on sealing tight the use of money
you will have great problem with men. An Arab poet said: “a fool
cannot be the leader of his people but the true leader of the people
must feign foolishness”.
It’s convenient for your ardent supporters to quote copiously from
the annals of history your great achievements but when your failures
and weaknesses were pointed out they say that was in the past. Is
the lessons of past history only good for the positive achievements?
Doesn’t that also explain our incessant failures?
Your Excellency, good intentions are never enough. In the past,
because of your clean records and straightforwardness you were
lured by men who want only the vanities Dunya to uproot a young
democracy on the caprices of fighting corruption. Corruption is no
doubt an evil but there is a more monstrous evil than corruption. That
is turmoil and insecurity. Peace and stability are the most important
part of governance that no price is to high for them.
The lack of peace, stability and security is the major predicament of
this nation since independence. So when you were naively used by
men to derail one, that is the greatest disservice you committed to
the nation the ills of which we are yet to recover from. Do you truly
believe Allah is still not in cognizance of that? You were lead to
uproot a duly elected leader and incrassate him for close to two years
knowing fully well that he has no charge of even the corruption that
was labeled against him. Yes, Shagari was the leader and therefore he
bears all the responsibility of misdeeds in his government, so also
you were a leader and you should bear all the responsibility of
derailing the peace and stability of governance in this country as a
consequence of that putsch.
You weakness in control of men became evident when the very people
that used you to revolt against a constituted authority came back to
uproot you from the seat of power. Your own kinsmen without a gun
cocked in your defense. Today the corruption you were deceived to
fight against has reached unimaginable level coupled with the worst
state of insecurity and peace in the nation. There was just recently an
attempt on your life like many of us.
All this because you the honest people that are given the privilege of
strengthening the Armed forces left it to meddle in politics. We thus
lost everything. Neither the power nor the security.
A believer is not stung from the same hole twice. Men used your
innocence before to get power and dump you. Please be sensible
today. Some other men still want to use you to get power and surely
they will dump you again. You don’t share the same philosophy at all.
Even though as I explained later, your obsession and philosophy of
fighting corruption is not the priority of Nigeria today. What Nigeria
needs utmost now is peace and stability. This can only be achieved
when the religious ethnic and regional divide is tamed. And you can
only tame it with people without much precedence. People without
much following. Yet people that are constructive and have the ability
to control men.
If Sardauna today is alive in your situation he will never contest for
the presidential seat because of his deep understanding of what the
nation needs. He will step down for a more acceptable younger
person. It’s on record that Sardauna even at the age of under 60 said
he was not going to contest again preparing his only house in Rabah
for retirement.
I’ll give you a similitude to buttress my point of priority. A person
seriously injured and fractured from a road traffic accident when
brought to the emergency room, the first priority of the doctors is to
secure an intravenous line. Meaning get a drip set working into his
veins to protect his vital organs like the heart and kidneys from the
effects of shock and loss of blood. The fractures even though serious
and the source of the blood loss may take days and weeks before
they are even attended to beside the superficial dressings.
Nigeria now needs peace and stability first. Then we talk of good
governance later even though it’s the source of the predicament we
are facing.
The present government has already charged the situation and played
the religious divide to it’s advantage. It’s in circulation now, a SW
pastor calling on Christians and the church to vote Jonathan as their
only Savior. This religious card will be used to cover for his deficiency
in governance.
Your Excellency, you should understand too, that many if not most of
your supporters are also looking up to you to protect them from the
onslaught on their religion and region. This also the Christian will
never believe the otherwise. Therefore the stage is set for religious
confrontation which is the least the nation needs.
What we need as a priority is peace and stability.
From my view if APC can support as an example Amaechi or
Okorocha/Kwankwaso or El-Rufai or Tambuwwal ticket and the PDC
will have Ukpabio/Muazu or Ribadu or Shekaru, the next four years
will. – insha Allah – witness stability both in the north and south.
And the electoral body will get the necessary infrastructure that
subsequently the next election will be free and fair and the true
reflection of Nigerians.
If you may ask, why can’t this same peace be achieved with you and
another Christian running mate?
Gen. you have antagonist, and they are many and also as ardent as
your supporters. Your supporters have the biggest proportion of the
underprivileged of the society which is the petrol that can be easily
ignited by the slightest spark. The spark will be when you’re declared
the loser. And you know you can very well lose if the Christians
follow their church -and why not in this era of mediocrity.
On the other hand if Jonathan comes back. BH will be real not the
political one we see. The turmoil will engulf the whole country not
only the north. That is why I also call on PDP to present some other
candidates.
My Brother in Islam, please listen to the words of wisdom. And don’t
follow the whims of the riff raff. Before they used you the first time
to disrupt the second republic, my father advised you against it.
Today I am also advising you against contesting in the 2015
presidential elections because you will be used to ignite the nation -a
dream well orchestrated several years ago- and also be used by bad
people as a ladder to grab regional and local powers.
I rest my case here.
My best regards and condolence to your recent loss.
May Allah guide you and protect you from the evil men and the jinn.
Amin.

FutureDon:
To everyone coming to Australia soon, be prepared to be sent to the quarantine section where you are most likely to answer the following questions, based on my personal experience:

Have you had fever in the last few days?
Have you attended or helped anyone with ebola in the past days/week?
Have you handled or come in close contact with corpses bla bla bla

After you answer these questions, you would be given a pamphlet containing some numbers you should call if you feel unwell within the next 21 days.

They were really friendly - I remember having a brief chat with them about how Nigeria was able to contain the deadly virus.... and yes, they are aware that Nigeria currently has no case of ebola. However, each passenger coming in from West Africa (you need to declare this on your landing card) is subjected to such interview.

@all don't be scared, it's not actually quarantine as in quarantine. .. it's just for u to stand aside and wait for them to ask u those questions orally... no big deal Australians are really friendly I tell u this... my 2 cents...
