atiku and rebellion be like 5 and 6.

where is orijin101, he get something to explain

How I wish all these for the betterment of masses

Like his predecessor , Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State has shunned the use of siren, saying he does not want to harass Lagosians with its use .
In Nigeria , the use of siren is a status symbol of political office holders , especially governors and the rest . To them , it is the highest form exhibition of authority and superiority to use the siren to oppress motorists on the road.
Since he assumed office a week ago , the governor has refused to use the siren , preferring to stay in traffic rather than harass the citizens with siren.
Last week , while travelling to Abuja , Ambode remained in the heavy traffic on Obafemi Awolowo Way, Ikeja for about 30 minutes , refusing to use the siren.
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Habib Aruna , when asked why the governor had shunned the use of siren, said this was the style he wanted to adopt in governing Lagos State and assured that in the next four years, the governor’ s convoy would not blare the siren .
Aruna stated that the governor did not believe in using the siren to oppress people on the road, saying that what is paramount was to deliver good governance to the people of Lagos State .
According to him, Ambode had made it clear to his aides that he would tolerate anyone in his convoy blaring the siren as he detests it , adding that he was elected to serve the people and not to lord it over them.
“In fact , last Tuesday, when the governor was going to the airport to travel to Abuja, he was held up in traffic on Awolowo Way , Ikeja for about 30 minutes. He did not use the siren to pave way for himself.
“He just remained in the traffic patiently for 30 minutes . People who saw him in the traffic were hailing him for being a good example and wished him well, ”
Aruna said.
Former Governor, Babatunde Fashola had adopted the same style as he did not use the siren all through the eight years he was in office as governor.

OREMUSSANCTUS:
I love transformation I hate "change"

oga oooo! Eyan kan de lobi eleyiooooooo

Two unidentified gunmen on Wednesday
abducted Enaye Abah, the Chairman of Ogbia,
local government area in Bayelsa, and took him
to an unknown destination.
President Goodluck Jonathan comes from Ogbia
local government as well.
It is not clear why Mr. Abah was kidnapped.
The kidnappers are yet to contact Mr. Abah’s
family but there are fears that the abduction
has political undertones.
The abducted c​ouncil b​oss played a key role in
election logistics for the Peoples Democratic
Party in the State Assembly election.
The result of the election for the State House of
Assembly Constituency seat remain inconclusive
following the violence in the area. The
Independent National Electoral Commission is
yet to fix a new date over insecurity in the area.
The Police Spokesperson for Bayelsa Command,
Asinim Butswat, confirmed the incident and
said the command had alerted Rivers and Delta
Commands of the development.
The kidnappers allegedly trailed their victim,
overtook his car and blocked him. They shot
sporadically to scare away people around the
area.
“They abducted him in his car and transferred
him to a blue mazda car and when they got to
Okaka waterside they burnt the mazda car and
escaped with a waiting speedboat into the
river,” Mr. Butswat said.
Residents who witnessed the abduction said the
two gunmen had better ammunitions and
overpowered the security escort attached to the
chairman.
Mr. Butswat said the police got a distress call on
Wednesday morning and dispatched men to
rescue the council chairman.
“We were meant to believe that the council chairman was
under threat along Otuasega-Okaka Expressway, so our first
reaction was (to go) towards Otuasega. But we got there to find
of that the gunmen had escaped through Okaka waterside,” said
Mr. Butswat.
He said the police was on the trail of the kidnappers.

General Muhammadu Buhari, the president-elect of Nigeria, has requested the
Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to support the
candidacy of Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina as the next president of the African
Development Bank (ADB).
General Buhari has communicated his backing of Dr. Adesina’s candidacy to
the Ghanaian President, John Dramani Mahama, who is the current
chairperson of the ECOWAS.
In a statement released in Abuja on Tuesday, April 21, General Buhari said
that his support of Dr. Adesina’s candidacy was not just because he was
Nigerian.
“Dr. Adesina has a proven track record in a career that predates his position
as Nigeria’s Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development,” General Buhari
said.
He added that Dr. Adesina had years of experience of working in Francophone
and Anglophone countries, and a passion to help eradicate poverty in Africa
by reducing unemployment and inequality among African youth.
Dr. Adesina is also an agricultural development expert with 24 years of
experience in developing and managing successful agricultural Programmes
across Africa.
Until his appointment as the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development in
2011, he was the Vice President, Policy and Partnerships Alliance for Green
Revolution in Africa (AGRA). Additionally, he has held senior leadership
positions in a number of agricultural institutions in the world.

Following the defeat suffered by President Goodluck Jonathan and his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, during the March 28 and April 11 elections, the President has asked the party and government officials who handled campaign funds to refund monies not spent, or those not judiciously expended, SUNDAY PUNCH can authoritatively report.
Jonathan, credible sources said, has also set up a committee of five to get those with the funds to return them.
Sources within the party and government told our correspondents that President
Jonathan was disturbed that despite giving campaign coordinators, ministers,
special advisers, close aides and friends, support groups and traditional rulers
over N2trn in cash, most of them could not deliver their polling booths and local
governments.
The President was said to have been further irked by the results of an investigation he ordered. The probe showed that some coordinators used campaign funds to buy very expensive properties, especially in Abuja, and luxury cars. Some of the funds have also been traced to the bank accounts of senior party and government officials who were charged with the disbursement of funds to voters and groups.
A reliable source within the Presidency told our correspondents that one of the
President, who recently admitted to a few close aides that it would be difficult
to retrieve all the funds, was bent on getting senior party and government
officials who received funds to account for all monies collected.
The source who is a close associate of the president said monies given to
traditional rulers in different parts of the country, for example, would not be
demanded for. But the source was quick to add that the President was
determined to get his ministers, close aides and special advisers to make
refunds.
He said, “Some ministers did not get less than N20bn each. None of them can
deny it because this fact isn’t hidden within government circles. The only
problem with such monies is that there is no receipt to show that they collected
money. The sad part is that almost all of them performed woefully. Even in the
states where the PDP won, some ministers could not deliver 100,000 votes.
They could not mobilise their people to come out. The President is not happy.
They all went property and car shopping. This was the most expensive election
in the history of this country, yet there was no result.
“The sad part was that even after the President lost on March 28, more money
was given to all of them to make up for the dismal outing by winning their
states during the April 11 elections. But that turned out to be a bad decision
because apart from losing the governorship election, we didn’t perform well at
the National Assembly and House of Representatives polls.
“They must give an account of the money since they didn’t use it for the
election. The President is not particular about the funds spent on genuine
campaign needs like the hiring of jets, advertisements and the rest that also
cost billions of naira. His focus is on the individuals that collected billions to
deliver their states but couldn’t even win their polling booths.”
Our correspondents gathered that apart from the N20bn given to some key
ministers and senior special advisers, especially in states where the PDP hoped
to capture from the opposition All Progressives Congress, some pro-Jonathan
support groups received about N16bn.
A former legislator who was to print five million recharge cards, T-shirts and
base ball caps has also come under pressure to account for the billions she
received because only a few people got the items she was paid to produce.
Also, a top female politician in Lagos who got a contract to produce and supply
thousands of mobile phones with pro-Jonathan messages was said to have
produced just a few and pocketed most of the funds.
It was learnt that the funds Jonathan released were disbursed in three phases.
Some were released before the March 28 elections, others on the day of the
presidential election and more before the April 11 governorship polls.
Already, the committee of five has started asking some of the campaign
coordinators and ministers who received a minimum of N20bn each to give an
account and also refund residual funds where applicable.
However, our correspondents learnt that most of the people who received the
funds had not cooperated with the committee. While some have not been
forthcoming, others have simply ignored the committee.
Jonathan is said to be particularly focusing on the South-West and northern
states.
In Lagos, a popular PDP chieftain who lost in his polling booth reportedly
received $50m in cash a few days before the governorship elections.
A senior PDP party member who spoke to one of our correspondents in Lagos
over the weekend confirmed the cash splurge in Lagos.
The source said, “Lagos was a show of shame. A few days to the governorship
poll, about $150m was received in cash by about five top campaign
coordinators. But they failed again, even more than we did in the presidential
poll because we lost some areas we won on March 28 to the APC on April 11.
They were to share this money to the local governments and the masses.
“Please understand me, I am saying that the sum of $150m was just for the
governorship election in Lagos. We are not talking about the sums they got for
the presidential election. Only one out of the five people that shared the money
gave some of it to local government chairmen. This person disbursed about
N2bn. The rest of them sat on the money.
“The coordinator that collected the sum of $50m later went to a Federal
Government agency and complained of not having enough funds for the election
and got an additional $20m. The story is the same in almost all the South-
West especially Oyo, Osun, and the northern states. A female minister from the
North, who got the highest amount of funds for that region, lost her state in a
shameful manner.”
Confirming that campaign directors in different parts of the country had been
asked for an audit, the PDP Campaign Director in Akwa Ibom, Mr. Idongesit
Nkanga, said the instruction was not new.
He stated that the PDP’s campaign organisation in the state had concluded its
audit.
“It is the normal thing. It is the right thing to do for transparency’s sake,” he
said.
Nkanga said he would not be able to comment on the refund because he did
not collect money from anyone.
According to him, the PDP’s campaign organisation in Akwa Ibom State
received a letter for an audit from the PDP campaign headquarters.
He explained that “because the letter emanated from the national headquarters
of the party, they were under obligation to submit the audit report about the
campaign’s expenditure to them.”
He maintained that at the campaign headquarters, some of the information was
available, adding that he would not be able to give SUNDAY PUNCH accurate
details offhand to avoid possible conflict in the figures.
Asked what sanctions would be meted out to defaulters, Nkanga said they
might be prosecuted.
However, our correspondent reports that prosecution, while not impossible, may
be difficult as most of the monies disbursed were not receipted.
Contacted, the national leadership of the ruling PDP said it did not know
anything about the money spent on its presidential campaign.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Olisa Metuh, stated this in an
interview with one of our correspondents in Abuja on Saturday.
Metuh said only those put in charge of the funds were in a position to account
for the monies.
He said, “The national leadership of the PDP is not aware of any campaign
fund. We were not part of it and therefore we can’t be asked to account for
what we didn’t know anything about.
“There was a campaign committee and only the committee is in the position to
account for any fund.”
Efforts made to speak with the Director-General of the PDP Presidential
Campaign Organisation, Sen. Ahmadu Ali were unsuccessful.
Ali, a former national chairman of the party, did not pick his call and also failed
to respond to a text message sent to him.
Similarly, efforts to get the Presidency’s reaction did not yield any result as
calls made to the telephone line of the presidential spokesman, Reuben Abati,
as at 10.30pm did not connect.

1.Openness
Every woman wants to reveal her partner her deepest naughty fantasies, bu
every woman can entrust her secret dreams. That’s why a man must be t
open in bed. The more open a guy is about his intimate desires, the more
a woman will be with hers.

2. Listening
To be heard is one of those things women always want to get from guys,
under the sheets. We know exactly what we love doing in bed. Guys should
listen to us and respond to our guidance on how to satisfy us best. Of co
their efforts will be rewarded.

3. Passion
There is no doubt women dream about
all sorts of romance, candles, flowers, gentle words etc. But men should not
forget about passion as well, raw passion. Sometimes the best way to satisfy a
woman is to just take her, kiss her hard, and make no apologies for how
desperately he needs all of you.

4. Aggressiveness
We, women, are quite enthusiastic about aggressive sex, aren’t we? Even a little
roughing under the sheets can do wonders for our sexual life. We do not want
our men to be aggressive on every occasion, but sometimes guys must
definitely turn into real

5.Focus on entire body
Unfortunately men often make this
mistake. They pay attention to a few places on a woman’s body when trying to
bring her pleasure. But we don’t actually want our partner to focus only on
these “obvious” intimate spots. We want guys to pay attention to our entire
body rather than the sum of its parts.

6.Longer MouthAction
It’s just incredible how many men don’t give their women MouthAction that often, or
even don’t do it at all. They actually think it’s OK. But it’s definitely not! Guys
expect MouthAction for themselves, but do not always return the sentiment to girls.
It’s a huge mistake. Agree, girls? We want men to experiment a little bit down
there and figure out what we like best.

7. Domination
We, women, want it all, to dominate and
to be dominated. We want men to take charge in bed as well as we want to
take charge by ourselves. Sometimes to control everything what’s going on
between the sheets brings us real pleasure, “the cowgirl” position works the
best in this case. The must-remember tip here is to switch these roles from
time to time.

8. Dirty talk
Women love dirty talk, but men often miss giving it to us. Every girl secretly
wants her partner to engage her naughty side and tell her exactly what he is
thinking about, not just flowery sweet nothing. Our halves must tell us about
their dirtiest sexual desires and then fulfill them in the bedroom!
So, these are the main things women want their men to do in the bedroom.
Don’t be upset if your partner doesn’t do all of them. Just talk to him, and
don’t be afraid to reveal your deepest and darkest desires. Find out his secret
fantasies too. Understanding and trusting each other is the best way to spice
up your sexual life.

John Oyegun, the national chairman of All
Progressive Congress (APC), said on Saturday
that the gale of defections by politicians was not
good for Nigeria’s political development.
Mr. Oyegun, who spoke to newsmen in Benin
shortly after casting his vote, advised those
defecting to the winning party to rather form a
formidable opposition to enrich the nation’s
democracy.
“Many opposition party members have defected
to APC just because they lost out, that is not
good for political development.
“One would have advised that opposition
members should stay where they are, and form
a formidable opposition party.” Mr. Oyegun
said.
He described the governorship and houses of
assembly elections as “the most decent, orderly
and peaceful” ever conducted in Edo.
Meanwhile, the APC national chairman won the
election in his polling unit. Oredo East: Ward 2,
Unit 1 Polling Unit, the first time since 1991
when he was elected governor.

You dump PDP for APC shortly after election and you are saying "CHANGE"... I think Buhari should put u in "CHAINS".... Umar Aliyu

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, and his deputy, Kolapo Olusola, on
Wednesday failed in their legal bid to stop the impeachment moves being made
against them by the All Progressives Congress members of the state House of
Assembly.
A Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday rejected their prayers contained in
an ex parte application seeking interim injunction to set aside the impeachment
notice served on them and halt further moves to remove them from office.
The court only granted prayers contained in the ex parte application relating to
service of the court processes on the defendants.
Rather than granting the prayers for interim injunction, Justice Ahmed
Mohammed ordered the defendants in the suit, including the APC factional
Speaker of the House of Assembly, Adewale Omirin, and the Chief Judge of the
state, Justice Ayodeji Daramola, to appear in court on April 16.
The court ordered the defendants to appear in court to show cause why the
order of interim injunction being sought by the plaintiffs halting the
impeachment proceedings should not be granted.
Apart from Omirin and Justice Daramola, other defendants in the suit are the
Inspector General of Police, Mr. Suleiman Abba, and the Independent National
Electoral Commission.
The plaintiffs in the suit are the Speaker of the House of Assembly (described
as being occupied by the Peoples Democratic Party factional Speaker, Olugbemi
Joseph Dele); Ekiti State House of Assembly, Fayose and Olusola.
Counsel for the plaintiffs, Mr. Ahmed Raji, had sought the interim injunctions
halting the impeachment moves through an ex parte application dated and filed
on April 7, 2015.
He had urged the court to grant the interim injunction setting aside the
impeachment notice already served on the governor and the deputy and also
restraining the defendants from taking any further steps in the impeachment
moves.
The lawyer argued that the act by Omirin to issue an impeachment notice and
serve same on the governor and the deputy governor as Speaker of the House
of Assembly amounted to impersonating the incumbent Speaker.
“The gravamen of our complaint is that a former Speaker of the parliament, the
Ekiti State House of Assembly, in the person of the 1st respondent (Omirin) is
trying to impersonate the 1st plaintiff (Dele) who is the current Speaker of the
parliament,” Raji said.
Part of the orders sought in the ex parte application are “An order of injunction
restraining the 1st defendant (Dele) and other errant members of the 2nd
plaintiff (Ekiti State House of Assembly) from further taking any step or
engaging in unlawful activities relating to the impeachment of Peter Ayodele
Fayose and Dr. Kolapo Olusola as governor and deputy governor of Ekiti State.
“An interim order of injunction restraining the Chief Judge of Ekiti State from
taking any step or action in relation to the request of the 1st defendant (Omirin)
for the purpose of appointing a panel of seven persons to investigate the
purported allegations of gross misconduct against Peter Ayodele Fayose and Dr.
Kolapo Olusola.
“An interim order of injunction restraining the police from continuing to abet,
give cover, protection or lend credence to the activities of the 1st defendant and
other errant members of the 2nd plaintiff for self-help in disruption of legislative
proceedings in the Ekiti State House of Assembly.
“An interim order of injunction setting aside the purported notice of
impeachment and all the steps taken by the 1st defendant and other errant
members of the 2nd plaintiff in relation to the purported issuance and service of
the notice of impeachment for the purpose of commencing. And concluding
impeachment proceedings against Peter Ayodele Fayose. And Dr. Kolapo
Olusola.”
The plaintiffs had urged the court to grant the prayers and make the interim
injunctions to subsist pending the determination of their motion on notice for
interlocutory injunctions seeking the same set of prayers.
Raji urged the court to grant the prayers “in the interest of justice, public order,
peace and safety of the people of the state”.
But the judge in his ruling rather than granting the interim injunctions ordered
the parties to appear in court to convince the court why the plaintiffs’ prayers
for interim injunction should not be granted.
Justice Mohammed ruled, “The order is hereby made directing the 1st to 4th
defendants (Omirin, IGP, INEC and Ekiti CJ), to appear before this court on April
16, 2015 and show cause why the interim order sought by the plaintiffs via an
ex parte motion dated April 7, 2015 should not be made by this court.”
But the court granted other prayers contained in the ex parte motion relating to
service of the court processes, including the main suit) on the defendants.
The court granted leave to serve Omirin and Justice Daramola, who reside in
Ekiti State, outside jurisdiction.
It also ordered that Omirin and the Ekiti State Chief Judge be served through
advertisement in a national newspaper.
It also made a separate order that the Chief Judge be served with processes of
court through the office of the Chief Registrar of of the Ekiti State High Court.
In their main suit, FHC/ABJ/CS/302/2015, the plaintiffs are seeking nine prayers
among which is “an order setting aside the purported notice of impeachment
and all steps taken by the 1st defendant (Omirin) with other errant members of
the 2nd plaintiff (Ekiti State House of Assembly) in relation to the purported
issuance and service of the said notice of impeachment for the purpose of
commencing and concluding the impeachment proceedings against Peter
Ayodele Fayose and Dr. Olusola Kolapo, except and until there is absolute
compliance with provisions of section 36(1) and section 188(1), (2), (3) and (4)
of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).”
Other prayers being sought by the plaintiffs include, “An order prohibiting the
1st defendant (Omirin) and other errant members of the 2nd plaintiff (Ekiti State
House of Assembly) from further taking any step, or engaging in unlawful
activities relating to the impeachment of Peter Ayodele Fayose and Dr. Olusola
Kolapo, except and until there is absolute compliance with provisions of section
36(1) and section 188(1), (2), (3) and (4) of the 1999 Constitution (as
amended).
“An order prohibiting the Chief Judge of Ekiti State from taking any step or
action in relation to the request of the 1st defendant (Omirin) for the purpose of
appointing a panel of seven persons to investigate and purported allegations of
gros misconduct against Peter Ayodele Fayose and Dr. Olusola Kolapo, except
and until there is absolute compliance with provisions of section 36(1) and
section 188(1), (2), (3) and (4) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).”
Justice Mohammed on Wednesday ordered that hearing notices be served on all
the defendants and adjourned the matter till April 16.

The police have just arrested Fayose's Special Adviser on Political Affairs, Ademola Bello and about five other thugs.
They were arrested few minutes ago by the police who burst their location opposite Prince and Princess restaurant in Ado Ekiti. Demola Bello and his thugs were in 4 hilux vans stationed at the Prince and Princess junction very close to the Central Bank junction that leads to the House of Assembly.
They were laying ambush for the 19 APC Lawmakers with guns, acid, axes and charms which were recovered from the hoodlums who were later arrested and taken to the Police Headquarters.
The police also recovered three of the hilux vans used by the thugs while the 4th hilux, blue in colour, ran into a ditch on bank road as the driver made to escape.
Ademola Bello, Ariyo Afolabi and one Femi Ogunleye are the coordinators of Mr. Fayose's thugs who had been terrorising Ekiti communities since October 2014 when Fayose was sworn in.
There is pressure already on the Commissioner of Police to release them but he was reported to have told Fayose that things have changed.

2011 and 2012 was when citizens found a voice via social media in
Nigeria. The OccupyNigeria movement is the biggest case in point. 2015
is when they will roar once more, because the general elections
The elections, which shifted from its initial set date, February 14 to
March 28, is now days away, and the most influential actors on the
political stage are finding ways to manipulate and subvert the
conversation in their favour. Every trick in the book is in play — spoof
Twitter accounts, viral smear campaigns, blatant astroturfing…in
response, civil society is trying to mobilise and use technology to cut
through the noise and help citizens engage productively.
In this war of interests, here are ways technology and internet are
already impacting Nigeria’s upcoming election.

1. Electronic Smart Card Readers
Hoping to curb electoral irregularities, INEC (Nigeria’s electoral
regulatory body) has deployed smart card readers to verify the
authenticity of the permanent voters card at the polling booths.
The smart card reader doesn’t just authenticate the card, it also allows
for the biometric authentication of the legitimacy of the smart card
holder, at least in theory. However, a test run of the smart card reader
revealed that it isn’t as smart as expected, with almost 40% failure rate.
INEC has reportedly said it would revert to the manual authentication of
voters in cases where the biometric authentication fails.
We’re not sure how exactly that will pan out, but we’re waiting to see.
The electoral race is really close and the major parties appear to be
leaving no stone unturned.
However, we are unsure how far online sentiments and conversations will
influence the final outcome of the election in any way.
Clearly, technology and internet as a tool for social change in Nigeria is
blooming, but is hardly matured. The needle is twitching, but just barely.

2. Election Monitoring
Local developers have designed mobile apps and websites that can
aggregate real-time updates from polling units from across the country;
some of them with geo-tagging function to track these updates by
location.
Nigeria Elections is a mobile app. It aggregates news around the
elections, and also provides the listing of polling booths, national
constituencies, presidential candidates and their running mates. The
results of the election will be uploaded on the app when it is officially
announced.
INEC , names after the country’s electoral umpire – Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) -allows users get information on polling
units, the election process and the status of their PVC. Another similar
election monitoring app is EiE’s Revoda .
Pollwatchng.com and Nigeriadecide.org are websites that which allow
voters/observers submit situation reports about the elections in their
locale. Users can upload images with cursory comments about the
situation being reported.

3. Online Conversations and Campaigns
Traditional media: print, television and radio, remained the major sources
of information dissemination in Nigeria, until enormous mobile
penetration, data availability and cheap access.
Internet usage in Nigeria grew by 16% in 2014, making a total of about
37.53% of Nigerians with internet access. Politicians have joined the
growing online community.
Political office hopefuls and their supporters have taken to twitter and
sent out political messages with hashtags like #GEJ_WINS, #CHANGE
e.t.c.
To show that they “get it”, both front-running political parties – APC and
PDP – have staged Google Hangouts. Last month, the APC’s Vice
Presidential Candidate, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, and Lagos State Governor
Babatunde Fashola answered questions from Nigerian youth . The PDP’s
Google Hangout session was staged for its Lagos governorship
candidate, Jimi Agbaje.
An overwhelming torrent of websites and apps also dot the internet
designed by political parties to reach supporters. Forwardnigeria.ng ,
Apcgmbpyo.org are affiliated with the PDP and APC presidential
candidates respectively. They have also embraced candidate-specific
apps such as the General Buhari and the APC Situation Room for the
APC presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari and the other
for his party, APC. Forward Nigeria is for the incumbent president and
PDP presidential flag bearer, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
Individuals and civil organisations are also driving conversation via the
internet. Enough Nigeria Coalition’s eie.ng is a website that provides
information on candidates vying for political offices as well as beams
INEC’s press releases. Sterling and Greenback, a Lagos-based enterprise,
also created a sentiment machine that measures the level of support for
different parties.

4. Online Advertising
Sponsored posts are popping up at every click of the mouse as there’s a
good possibility you encounter a political ad – thanks Adsense – while
watching a youtube video or just reading through your favourite blog.
Social media brand promoters also known as pirates of Nigerian twitter
are also part of online advertising stratagem. They are throwing their
online weight behind the highest bidding political party.

5. Crowdfunding
One of the political parties, APC, has sought to crowdsource funds for
their campaign. The party has employed means ranging from ringtones,
premium SMS, scratch cards and e-transactions to get supporters to
contribute financially. The Nigerian Communications Commision later
banned the APC’s mobile crowdfunding shortcode, but this decision has
been struck out by a federal high court sitting in Lagos. The court also
ruled that the NCC and the telcos involved pay N500 million ($2.5
million) in damages to the party.
Gbosa Gbosa Technology Ltd recently launched a broad-based
fundraising platform, SpeaksForUS, to help organizations with crowd-
sourced fundraising. The website has a category for political donations
where you can make donations by buying political posters, bags and
other party branded items, with prices ranging between N48 ($0.25) to
N10,000 ($50) naira.

6. Fact Checking
factchecki.ng , is a website that crosschecks dubious information in
circulation, debunk myth and verify fact.
On factchecki, you can submit questions, facts and lies. However, the
platform only caters to facts related to the APC presidential aspirant,
General Muhammadu Buhari.

7. Data
A nation’s budget basically determines how well the government can
function. Budgit is a website that allows you simulate the Nigerian
budget. Budgit simply breaks down the Nigerian budget and allows you
“become the finance minister for a day”, thereby coming up with your
own budget structure.

8. Online Polls
In anticipation of the forthcoming elections, media houses have come up
with online presidential polls. Three of these polls have been more
popular and they were held by Sahara Reporters , President Jonathan’s
social media aide, Reno Omokri and AIT .
However, these online polls have been marked by controversies as there
has been accusations of double voting and biased umpires. Whatever the
case may be, it is clear that all parties involved don’t want to look like
they are falling behind in the digital popularity race.
Nigeria Decide 2015 and NaijaPolls are apps that allow you vote for your
preferred presidential and governorship candidates across all states.
NaijaPolls also allows you read the bios of the candidates.

BREAKING NEWS:-

NIGERIA it is called Orubebetisis.......
But has been cured in Abuja with a
strong capsule called JEGAQUIN.

Orubebe Na when you hear Buhari is leading with 23 states and your candidate, GEJ, is the one sustaining your family

Really there is hope for HOPE party.

Hello, I need to let you all know that GMB is the next president of Nigeria
confirmed!!! Reason is simple, GMB will have minimum 25% in all the 19 states
of the North(it has been proven from the results so far). In all the 6 states of
South West, he has 25% already. That means he has 25% already in 25 states
(19+6). He already has 25% in Abuja according to INEC result(19+6+1=26).
That's 26 states already. Now the balance 10 states of South East and South
South, assuming he's taking zero percent in the two zones or less than 25% in
all the two zones. The cummulative of the 10 states of SE and SS is not up to
cummulative votes of Kano, Sokoto, Lagos, Kaduna and Bauchi. 2/3 majority
has finally been realised and the overall cummulative will swing the way of
GMD. This cannot be altered!!! So change has finally been actualised!
Congratulations Nigeria and all agents of change!

Ah!!! So i ended up in otueke.

Hundreds of women from different parts of Rivers state who were protesting to
INEC headquarters along Aba /Port Harcourt Expressway in Port Harcourt, the
Rivers state capital against alleged irregularities that characterised the last
Saturday presidential and national assembly election in the state were about
9: 15 am today teargassed and dispersed by stern looking armed policemen .
The women who were led by Mrs Joeba West , Rivers State Commissioner for
Women Affairs ; Mrs Maureen Tamuno , former member Rivers House of
Assembly and former Chairperson of Ogu/Bolo local government council and
also an APC candidate contesting for Okrika/Ogu Bolo federal constituency in
federal House of Representatives had passed St . John ’ s bus stop on old Port
Harcourt/Aba Expressway but on reaching Waterlines Junction they were
stopped and teargassed by the police.
Journalists who were covering the peaceful protest were not spared as they
were also teargassed as people scampered in different direction for safety.
The action of the policemen caused instant pandemonium on the ever - busy
federal truck ‘ A ’ road that is major access road to the Eastern parts of the
country from the Rivers state capital.
The women who were clad in all - black attire with placards narrating their
grievances , were drawn from 23 local government areas of the state .
However , as soon as the women took to the street, several troopers of heavily-
armed anti - riot policemen , in several vehicles , hit the Waterlines Junction
along Aba Road where they mounted a heavy roadblock .
But the women, who were determined to proceed to accomplish their mission ,
engaged the policemen in an argument . The women appealed to the officers in-
charge of the police operations to let them continue with their march but they
were not allowed .
The police would not listen to the harmless women and rather than offer them
a passage , they fired teargas canisters .
Several women ran for safety but eventually were caught in the open hostility
unleashed on them . Older women among the flock sustained injuries and had
to be attended to by their colleagues. Some who inhaled the teargas collapsed
on the ground.
Yesterday, thousand of APC supporters led by the Dr .Dakuku Peterside , the
governorship candidate of APC , Senator Magnus Abe contesting for Rivers East
senatorial seat protested to the INEC office calling for the cancellation of the
Saturday elections the state capital .
In the ensuing tension over the election the INEC office in Emohua local
Government in Emohua was set ablaze by unknown arsonists .
Meanwhile , this morning besides calling for the cancellation of election in the
state , the Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress ( APC ) has
demanded the immediate suspension of the State Resident Electoral
Commissioner ( REC ) , Mrs . Gesila Khan , for allegedly colluding with the Peoples
Democratic Party ( PDP ) to rig last weekend ’ s presidential and National
Assembly elections in the state .
In a statement by Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, the APC chairman in Rivers said
“For Mrs . Khan to have removed the INEC result sheets in all the polling units
in the State with the intention of rigging the polls is a very serious criminal
offence. Mrs . Khan should not only be suspended but should not be allowed to
conduct the April 11 Gubernatorial and State Assembly elections , as well as
the Presidential and National Assembly elections when rescheduled .”
Rivers APC commended INEC Chairman , Prof . Attahiru Jega, for acknowledging
the party’ s petition on the polls in Rivers state . “We are very convinced that if
our case is thoroughly investigated it will be confirmed that the State REC ,
Mrs . Khan , compromised her office and tarnished the good image of INEC , ” the
party stated.
APC defended the action of the State Governor, Rt . Hon . Chibuike Amaechi, in
requesting to see the INEC result sheets and other sensitive materials for the
conduct of last weekend ’ s polls .
The party said the Governor took that step as the party was aware that the
State REC had traded off the result sheets to PDP to write the results as they
deemed fit .
“Amaechi wanted to prevent a situation whereby people would queue to vote
while PDP and INEC would write a different result not reflecting the true voting
pattern in the state .”
Rivers APC condemned the conduct of soldiers deployed for the election ,
saying that contrary to court order , PDP not only used the army to intimidate
APC supporters and coerce Rivers State voters to vote for PDP .
“It is sad that the PDP leadership in Rivers State could be so callous to arm
the youths in order to kill and maim Rivers State people because of election .
We know that Rivers people are peace -loving and arming some of the youths
at this time does not do anyone any good because it may be difficult to
retrieve some of these arms from these youths later, thereby constituting a
serious security challenge ,” Rivers APC said .
It declared that Rivers PDP does not have any agenda to move the State
forward, which informed its rejection by Rivers people . If Rivers State people
are allowed to vote, President Jonathan and Chief Nyesome Wike can never
secure up to 10% of votes cast in the State in any election based on all the
evils the duo have committed against Rivers State .
“As a party we will do everything humanly possible to ensure that the verdict
and wishes of Rivers State people are honoured and implemented and that
they are allowed to vote without any intimidation or coercion ,” Ikanya said .
