Nigeria’s incoming President, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), yesterday
disclosed that his cabinet would be
announced very quickly within one week of inauguration; and that “Anyone with a whiff of corruption or any kind of taint will not be in the cabinet. Our manifesto will reflect zero tolerance for corruption”. He however pledged to put an end to fuel subsidies, adding that the oil and gas sector would be reformed as a matter of priority in order to attract new investments.
The President-Elect, who stated this while unveiling his economic policies at a Lagos Business School breakfast meeting, noted that he would run a very lean government, which would involve rationalizing overlapping and redundant ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) in line with the Steve Oronsaye presidential committee report.
Buhari, who was represented at the meeting by former Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, however disclosed that there would be very little action from his administration until October, partly due to the fact that Goodluck Jonathan-led administration authored the currently existing 2015 budget. Asserting that the federal government under the All Progressives Congress, APC, would seek “to align the electoral and fiscal calendars to avoid this type of problem in future,” he assured the audience that the cardinal agenda of his government and their over arching themes would be security, fighting corruption and unemployment. “We believe that corruption has a very strong negative link to both security and unemployment,” he said.
The President-Elect maintained that there would be no real action until October partly because the 2015 budget “is Jonathan’s and may be fully approved in April. A very lean government is the focus, largely in line with the Steve Oronsaye presidential committee report. This report was available to the Jonathan government, but the will to implement it was absent”. He acknowledged that the APC “is not a conclave of cardinals, as it includes the good, the bad and the ugly,” noting that in Nigeria, the bad and the ugly could be the biggest electoral assets, though the new government “will not interfere with law enforcement agencies or the judiciary even if APC members are involved in corrupt practices”. He further assured that the Vice-President- elect, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, who did a lot of work as the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Lagos State would bring his experience to revamp and strengthen the judiciary to complement the anti-corruption drive and the rule of law, adding that “He will also anchor the economic committee”.
He promised that his government would
continue with some of the programmes in the Jonathan administration, which were
successful. “For example, agriculture, though there would be a stronger collaboration between the federal and state governments,” he said.
He also revealed plans to consolidate such
anti-corruption agencies as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, into a single entity to make them more effective.
“We believe Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
is getting over-burdened by developmental
finance issues at the expense of its core
objectives; this will be changed,” he said.
According to Buhari, the subsidy on
petroleum products would certainly go and the industry would be reformed as a matter of priority in order to attract new investments, adding that “While power reform has been commendable and will continue, the approach will change”.
Buhari explained that power transmission
would be deregulated, regionalised and
privatized in order “to break down
centralized transmission, while the issues of gas supply to Gencos will be addressed.
“But the new government believes that
Discos are the biggest bottlenecks presently.
The government plans to add on 4,000MW
of power every year and expect that output will reach a minimum of 12,000 MW at the end of his tenure”.
He said the party’s groundwork showed that N3 trillion in savings could come out of plugged leakages, noting that the
employment drive would be private sector
led.
“The government will allow market forces to prevail, including in the foreign exchange regime,” he said.
The President-Elect debunked speculations
that he would use fiat to fix the foreign
exchange, adding, however, that the
government would keenly seek to protect the more economically vulnerable segments of the society.
He added that there would be a tightening of the tax noose, though there would be no tax increase.
“The Federal Internal Revenue Service
(FIRS) will be strengthened and the LASG
IGR template will be adopted at the national level,” he stated.
While acknowledging that the nation’s
infrastructure gap required huge capital
outlay, which the government does not have, Buhari pledged to develop a master plan for infrastructural development in the country.

The type of stealing and corruption going on in the
Federal Government of Nigeria is mind boggling.
Information available to our correspondent suggests that a mind boggling sum of $700 million was allegedly found in the house of Nigeria’s Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison Madueke.
According to information from an impeccable source, the huge sum in foreign currency was discovered recently by some security agents while conducting a search of the house of one her aides who resides in the ministers house but allegedly stole $10 million from the Minister.
Maduaeke according to source admitted to the ownership huge sum of $700 million. “she must have kept that very particular money in her aide’s apartment, because the unnamed aide is said to be one of the trusted one among others”, our source stated.
It was further gathered that when this was reported to President Goodluck Jonathan, the president felt so sad and disappointed, he immediately invited Diezani Alison Madueke to his office for questioning and rebuked her severely.
President Jonathan asked the Minister “for God sake
what are you doing with $700 million in your home?” Mrs . Madueke retorted “I am keeping the money for you”.
We gathered that President Jonathan just smiled and promptly asked her to go in peace. President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration has been criticize by many Nigeria as being the most corrupt
considering the president’s stance on corruption.
The Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders has chided
President Goodluck Jonathan over his unwillingness to tackle corruption in the country.
According to the group, corruption is the biggest
problem the country is facing, besides the Boko Haram insurgency. CACOL’s Executive Chairman, Debo Adeniran, told SUNDAY PUNCH there was an urgent need to tackle the problem. “It is a known fact that corruption is the greatest problem
confronting our country Nigeria, thus if combated
frontally, it would definitely put an end to many other challenges facing us as a people,” he said.

Georgia as in the country in Europe and not the state in the US. Four Nigerian students, they were found dead in an apartment on Vazha-Pshavela Avenue in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi yesterday night Wednesday April 8th. Three of the boys were students at Tbilisi State Medical University and one at Georgia’s University. Police are saying the boys died from gas poisoning due to a faulty water heater in their apartment friends of the students were worried when they hadn't heard from the roommates all day, which was unusual. They called police who broke into the students’ apartment and found their bodies. The bodies have been taken to the National Forensic Bureau. Friends of the victims, who are Nigerians, say they want a proper investigation into what happened. They also wanted the Nigerian public to be aware of this incident so reached out to LIB. Will bring updates on this. May their souls rest in peace, amen.

We received intelligence at 12pm Nigerian time of a KiaMohave SUV with DHQ 349 plate #, filled with election materials headed to Lagos on instruction of the ADC to president Goodluck Jonathan for illegal election ops to rig out APC in Lagos.
SUV DHQ 349 was airlifted to Lagos from Nnamidi Azikiwe Airport Abuja.
According to the classified report received from a reliable sources, the ballot papers have all been
painstakingly thumb-printed already and result sheets filled according to polling unit accredited voters numbers.
Similar consignments in DHQ official vehicles have been shipped to Adamawa, Rivers and other states PDP is desperate to rig.
We advise security authorities and the general public in Lagos to be on the lookout for these vehicles and all suspicious activity.
We advise Nigerians at every polling center to ensure they have result sheets, ballot boxes are empty at the beginning of the process and their votes are immediately counted.
Defend your votes and ballot boxes from being snatched and replaced.

Blame the government for giving contract to incompetent contractors.

Nigeria Army should prove it. Saying it is nothing but action is the key. Same army (major gen Momoh) still tools for Gov. Fayose in Ekiti


Change gear ko accelerate ni

The rate of sudden break up in relationships is quite
alarming due to intolerable attributes which can
make lover boys dump them in a wink without
thinking twice.
However, many that are dumped by the reason of
these habits will start running from Churches to
Mosques, Pastors to Alfas, Herbalists to Guru Maharaj
the moment that innocent dude who has promised
them marriage call it a quit
Now let's analyze these shameful habits
1. Untidiness, Laziness, And Looking Unkempt
It's very evident that some ladies can soak their
towels, underwear and clothes for days without
worrying about the smell emanating from it.
However, many of them only manage to tidy up and
arrange their rooms properly especially when they
are expecting male visitor but when you see these
same ladies on the streets or mobile network, they
look better than Beyonce on social network. I trust
the larger percentage of guys can only tolerate that.
2. Begging For Money And Recharge Card
The notion that men are made to provide for them
turned many ladies into developing gold digging
habits. Some beg for recharge card, mobile phones
and all sort of perishable parameters from every
Tom, Dick and Harry. When the boyfriends cannot
cope with that disgusting habit and dump them, they will keep saying most men don't appreciate good ladies.
3. Double Dating
There's only a slight difference between some so
called girlfriend and prostitutes. However, many of
them are so covetous that they keep many species of guys for financial assistance despite the fact that the innocent dude is everything his best to ensure she's satisfied yet still keeps many magas under the cloak of not keeping all her eggs in one basket.
4. Lack of Vision, Goal and Objectives In Life
An average Nigerian lady wants to get married to a
man living in a mansion with so many cars and maids but the question is, what will be her own contribution?
Many of them are so dumb that If you give them a
million naira, the next thing they think of is fixing of
eyes lashes, Brazilian hair which costs about
N120,000, buy bleaching and toning cream which
costs about N 20,000 or more, buying of Iphone6:
N180,000 so as to make other ladies see them as
fashionable ladies, Instead of investing into
something that will add value to their resume and
personal life.
5. Low Sense Of Reasoning
Some ladies are so dumb that they can barely give
meaningful contribution to practical issues. All they
think of is how to get married and place financial
burden on their husbands.
6. Bad cooks
Some ladies are bad cook but the most annoying
thing is that they are not ready to learn. Helping their mothers in the kitchen is a difficult task for them. They can't prepare common noodles let alone eba. This is a turn off for many guys.

Tinubu is now being described as Nigeria's Machiavelli. It says 'How a political godfather helped bring down a president'. Anyway, everywhere you go these days, people are giving Pres. Jonathan a standing ovation. He's taught all our politicians that politics is not a do-or-die thing
