"Jonathan And Lamido" - By: Sam
Nda-Isaiah on November 18, 2013
via Leadership Newspaper
I hope no one is duped by the
face-off between President
Goodluck Jonathan and Governor
Sule Lamido of Jigawa State being
packaged as the president’s own
version of the war against
corruption. Last week, Governor
Lamido accused President
Jonathan of doing nothing about
the lead he (Lamido) gave him: a
minister close to him collecting
$250 million bribe from an oil
company. In less than 24 hours,
the EFCC had swooped on two of
the governor’s sons over the
alleged laundering of about N10
billion. I am certainly not holding
brief for Sule Lamido and his
children. They may, in fact, be
guilty; but would the president
have given a different directive if
the governor had not been such a
trenchant opponent to him? If
Lamido had not been in the
Amaechi-led NGF and had been in
the Jang-led NGF, would the
prognosis have been different?
Or, let’s put it this way: why is it
that, in spite of all the hoopla
about Stella, the EFCC still does not
know the way to the aviation
minister’s house, even though her
bulletproof cars run on excess
aviation fuel? There have also
been several reports on the
petroleum minister, without any
consequences whatsoever. During
some of the investigations, it
was the president himself that
sometimes begged the National
Assembly not to “embarrass” the
ministers by inviting them to their
committees.
It is too early for us to forget the
president’s contributions to the
House of Reps fuel subsidy probe.
This is what happens when a
leader has completely lost
credibility. Governor Lamido may
well be guilty of the massive
corruption charges as alleged, but
Nigerians are reading other
meanings into it.
And, by the way, where is the
report of the fuel subsidy scam
involving the son of another PDP
chieftain? Nigerians have not yet
forgotten that the PDP chairman’s
son and his colleagues have been
charged in court over the theft of
N304 billion. It’s now over 20
months, and nothing is heard
about the case anymore. The case
will probably never come up again
until Bamanga Tukur starts
thinking of conducting a free and
fair presidential primary. And lest
we forget so soon, what were the
president’s contributions in
catching the pension robbery
kingpin, apart from what
Nigerians already know?
The president’s double standard
did not just surface today.
Evidence of it started showing
even before he became president.
Does anyone still remember
Vincent Ogbulafor? He was the
chairman of the PDP when
President Umaru Yar’Adua had
become sick and incapacitated.
Jonathan was acting president
then but Ogbulafor insisted that
the PDP would still zone its
presidential slot to the north.
Before anyone knew what was
going on, some funny charges
had been slapped on Ogbulafor’s
face for an offence he was said to
have committed seven years
earlier. Of course, Ogbulafor was
forced to resign. The PDP
chairman might have been guilty,
but he was not the only guilty
party there.
It is very hard to continue to trust
the current leadership of the
ruling party with power. And we
are all witnesses to the quality of
governance under Jonathan. Any
group that sees power as an
advantage for self-promotion and
breaking the law must never be
allowed near power. The Appeal
Court has just passed a
judgement declaring former
governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola as
the authentic secretary of the PDP.
But Jonathan doesn’t want that
and has quickly got Oyinlola
suspended from the party.
Nobody should tell me that it was
not Jonathan who did it. In their
confusion, they said Oyinlola could
not be reinstated because the
court judgement had not been
served the PDP headquarters. But
the same PDP headquarters was
aware enough to rush to the
Supreme Court to appeal the
Appeal Court’s judgement. That’s
certainly not the kind of
leadership you want to watch
over your nation.
If many Nigerians are forced to
either accept Jonathan’s
accusation or Lamido’s allegation,
more would rather believe the
Jigawa State governor because
the president has tons and tons
of corruption issues he has been
protecting. It may not be true, but
that is the perception the
president has given himself.
Nigerians now know how
important to the nation the man
who occupies the presidency is.
Next time, we must insist that only
a leader fit for a country as
important as Nigeria emerges.

ASUU Update: Strike Continues As
National Meeting Is Postponed Over
Death Of Former President
www.9jaolofofo.com.ng/ASUU-update-strike-continues-as-national-meeting-is-postponed-over-death-of-former-president/

www.darrenhardy.success.com/2013/11/networking-success/?utm_source=Listrak&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=http%3a%2f%2fdarrenhardy.success.com%2f2013%2f11%2fnetworking-success&utm_campaign=Ryan+Seacrest%27s+4+Secrets+for+a+Great+Interview

Here is No. 1…
1. Always be willing and eager to help others with an introduction or your time. And do no expect anything in return.Reminds me of a quote from
another master networker, Harvey Mackay. He said, “My
Golden Rule of Networking is simple: Don’t keep score.” The profile of Nozad is sprinkled
with names of successful entrepreneurs he has backed and advised. What’s missing is
what happened in between those meetings. He is constantly having conversations with young people, some still in school, and
helping them along. They may or may not end up working at
startups. They may or may not raise funds in companies he
could invest in. He doesn’t think about it that way. He calls this
“one way love.
“The currency of real
networking is not greed but generosity.”
Keith Ferrazzi
Also note that Nozad went to the key contacts—to the influencers’ homes and to the schools the potential entrepreneurs
attended. As Scott Stratten said to me in an interview recently, “Are you going to where your customers [or key contacts] are
or just sitting and hoping they come to you?”
2. Be proud of where you came from and share that with others. It shows honesty and builds trust. Nozad doesn’t represent himself
as anything but a guy who sold rugs in Palo Alto and then started
investing in startups. He talks openly and eagerly about his
family’s background in Iran and the remarkable story of how he got to Silicon Valley.People who
Nozad sold a rug to ten years ago, and had no contact with
since, still felt like they knew and were close to him. That is the social power you gain when you are willing to be completely human and authentic.
“If people like you they’ll listen to you,
but if they trust you they’ll do business with you.” -Zig Ziglar
3. Compliment the achievements of those around you. And do it with a smile. We all know that awkward feeling that comes with a
superficial or flat compliment. It means well, but lands with a thud. Nozad deftly avoids that by
focusing on what someone has
accomplished and tying it to who they are deep down.
He tells one entrepreneur,
“Starting things is in your DNA.” And with that, he nails exactly
what this guy is proud of, and makes him feel good about it. His phrasing has so much more genuine punch to it than if he’d just said, “You’re a great entrepreneur.”People yearn for validation, to feel important, to be recognized for their effort and achievements.
You can build great bonds by looking for those things that
people are proud of and pointing it out.
4. In conversations search for a common ground. It may take a
while, but there is surely something to bring you closer.
This is perhaps the trickiest area for all of us. You meet someone at a cocktail party, and you know
just enough about them to know you could both benefit from connecting and then… blah You
struggle to get beyond the “Any
vacations coming up?” chatter. Instead Nozad Googled his early rug clients so he knew how to guide conversations. Now his own network of friends is wide
enough that usually he can quickly make a personal connection with people simply by suggesting a common friend.
5. Use your Rolodex wisely and only for the right person at the right time, for the right cause. Several of the top venture
capitalists who do deals with Nozad rarely hear from him.
That’s very intentional. He knows
the importance of valuing other people’s time. People notice when you waste their time. They respond to your emails when you honor their time.
6. Make sure you understand what the person you want help
from has to gain from it. Nozad understands motivations. He knew the venture capitalists he sold rugs to were always
hunting for undiscovered treasures: talented
entrepreneurs no one else had yet spotted. The entrepreneurs,
likewise, were eager to mingle with potential backers. That was Nozad’s “in.” He knew he could
bridge both worlds.
7. Don’t create walls between your personal and professional lives. It is one big network of
people. Nozad starts most conversations
very personally. How are the kids? How have you been? It is
subtle, disarming, and endearing.
Spend more time listening than you do talking. And you do that by asking questions and listening with genuine interest.
I’ve seen this trait in other successful networkers. They
don’t exhaust themselves being
slightly different personalities in work, family and social settings. They are just as personally helpful and at ease to a work
colleague as they are to a family friend.
OK, so let me make this easy for you; here’s your $50 million cheat sheet summary:
1. Give.
2. Be real.
3. Compliment.
4. Find commonality.
5. Use your network sparingly.
6. Think WIIFT-What’s In It For Them.
7. Be authentically YOU, always.
“The richest people in the world look for and build networks, everyone else looks for work.”
-Robert Kiyosaki
It’s well known that 80% of business opportunities are filled through networking.

on things going on around
the school, latest news, gist,
thrills etc....However we can
get to know ourselves the
more through this thread
God bless you and God bless

Below is Hon. Patrick
Obahiagbon’s reaction on Prof.
Festus Iyayi death which
happened on Tuesday by a car
crash in Governor Idris Wada’s
convoy on his way to a meeting in
Kano to call off the ongoing ASUU
strike . . .
“The grand initiation of Professor
Festus Iyayi is a lancinating loss of
another stentorian voice, against
retrograde and prebendal forces
of primitive mercantilism. That he
passed through transition on
matters pro bono publico, bears
eloquent testimony to our state of
dystopia. Such is the evanescence
of life. Its all vanitas vanitatum.”
This grammar is enough to make
ASUU call of the strike.

The following are the way out of getting a proven plan B

The three agencies were asked to return today, having failed to provide the committee with
documents on the procedure for their recruitment.
The Nigeria Immigration Service
provided conflicting documents,and failed to follow due process
in its recruitment.
A document showed that 2,005 people were employed in 2011, with another putting the figure
at 2,550. Both documents, however, did not record the
qualifications of the new employees.
The House committee was shocked when Secretary to the
Board of CivilDefence, Fire Service, Immigration and Prison Service Board, Sylvanus Tapgun,
the body responsible for recruitment into those agencies,
said he did not know the bank account number into which the revenue generated from the sale of application forms was lodgedHe was also unable to tell the committee the company handling
the collection of the forms, and failed too to give the number of
forms sold.
Tapgun also claimed to be unaware of the House Representatives’ resolution urging the NIS to stop collecting
fees for the employment forms.
"I did not place the
advertisement; it was done by my predecessor. I don't know the account number. I resumed
office on September 18, 2013. I read the minutes of the last
meeting of the board in August and it was not about recruitment but promotion in Immigration and Prison Services," he said. It was also discovered that the
NCS flouted the rules by recruiting 5,595 in 2011 without approval from the Head of Service, according to the
Permanent Secretary, Career Management Service, Ezekiel
Oyemomi.
Also, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was granted a waiver to recruit 801
workers by the Federal Character
Commission (FCC), but recruited1,146.
