Why not do it then?
This goes to show that yes you are,
You are not only scared to speak, you also don't know what to say.

You are a disgrace to RCCG
You are a disgrace to Yorubaland
And a traitor to Christianity
Palestinian-sympathetic, dubious dwarf.

As a pastor, why didn't you represent Nigeria at Jerusalem?

Why didn't Nigeria deem it neccessary to attend the opening of the US Embassy?
I wish the US can place sanctions on Nigeria for boycotting such a historic event.

I won't blame you Osinbajo, even if you condemn the killing till tomorrow you don't have any power to make a difference being a mere commissioner that you are. I only blame Buhari, the Commander in Chief of Armed Forces of the federal republic of Nigeria who has all the security agencies under his command and deliberately allow the killings to continue because he wants to expand Fulani caliphate. May the blood of the innocent Nigerians killed by his Fulani foot soldier forever hunt his generation.

BBOG co-convener Aisha Yesufu has lend her voice on the ongoing debate on the usage of codeine. Ascertaining this in one of her tweet through her twitter handle, @Aishayesufu that codeine is actually sweet. In this tweet of hers she alleged that the VP is a good speaker that speaks to his audience and his audience swallow it like codeine. A particular section of the public are beginning to question Aisha Yesufu why she said that and how she got to the discover that codeine is actually sweet. Recently in Nigeria a huge debate had sparked over the high level usage of codeine among the youths of the nation. A section of the public are beginning to question if the consumption of codeine is getting to activist in the country.


A twitter follower asked the activist how she knew that codeine is sweet because sweetness is said to be an involuntary action of the tongue and it takes an addict to the drug to affirm whether the drug is sweet or sour. the popular question the public is asking the BBOG convener and activist is that whether her recent activities has been under the influence of codeine which she claim is sweet or not. Whether that is the situation or not TIME WILL TELL.

PoliticsThe Osinbajo Example: Bridging The Gap As A Pastor And Politician by maybanks(op): 12:06pm On May 10, 2018
ON January 8, 2018, Vanguard published a story titled, “Fuel Scarcity: Nigerians commend Osinbajo for selfless leadership”. It was one of many headlines that commended the number two citizen of Nigeria for his service to the people as a politician. Osinbajo is a man who has a track record for his dedication, perseverance, courage and for achieving excellence in his work as a public servant, in the church as a pastor or at home as a husband and father. He is a man who knows how to find a balance despite the responsibilities on his shoulders. Not many believe that you can succeed as a pastor and public servant at the same time, but Vice President Professor Yemi Osinbajo is re-defining the thought of many Nigerians. Despite his busy schedule as Vice President, he has never forsaken the gathering of the brethren even while helping to attract successes to efforts by the government of President Muhammadu Buhari to re-invent Nigeria on many fronts. In addition to assisting in putting the national economy on track for fast recovery as head of the Economic Team, Osinbajo has won the heart of the Nigerian youths for the government through a well-designed Social Intervention Programme, SIP, comprising the N-Power, GEEP Market Moni, Home Grown School Feeding initiative and the Conditional Cash Transfer for the unemployed in the country. He has been the bridge through which the South-South zone of the federation re-connected with the Buhari government, a development, which assisted in mitigating tension in the zone. The latest exploits by the Vice President in bringing the good agenda of the Buhari government to fulfillment came through his unrelenting efforts to expose corruption perpetrated under the past government of former President Goodluck Jonathan. Osinbajo has been doing that because the war against corruption is one of the major planks of the policy thrust by the present government to re-invent Nigeria. His background as an established Pastor in the Redeemed Christians Church of God, RCCG, offers an insight on why he seems to be neck-deep in the task by the Cabinet to fight corruption. As a pastor, he is ordained to stay off any acts of corruption, set examples on how not to be corrupt, speak against corruption and its incubus as well as expose corruption even when in an embryonic stage. Vice President Osinbajo, when honking on acts of corruption, dwells on facts and figures available to the Cabinet. He is committed to assisting Nigeria stave off the possible return of the menace with every successive government. For effectively bridging the role of a pastor and a politician, Osinbajo deserves applause. A week ago, the Vice President stepped on toes when he featured in the latest episode of the The Platform, organised by the Covenant Christian Centre in Lagos, alleging that three persons stole $3 billion (N1 trillion) in the Jonathan administration. Not too long ago, he had alleged that the Jonathan administration shared the sum of N150 billion just two weeks to the 2015 elections, whereas, the same government spent just a paltry N14 billion on agriculture in 2014; N15 billion on transportation and only N153 billion on infrastructure in three years. Osinbajo, perhaps, has more privileged information on monumental kind of mindless corruption which the Jonathan government allowed in its six years tenure. Although Nigerians are aware that the government ran by Jonathan knew nothing about frugality and parsimony on financial matters, with evidence of alleged infamies against his government on corruption still in the public domain, Jonathan, who had before now remained taciturn and reclusive, swallowing all guilt about his failure, is now finding the courage to make feeble kicks. Last week, Jonathan, likely prodded by jobless aides who still leech on him, resolved to take his brittle grievance to the RCCG Shepard, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, asking him to call the Vice President to order for “lying” against him. Incredible! The question is: will Jonathan, whose government still has questions to answer on financial matters ever accuse anyone of lying against him? From observation, Jonathan who had long owned up to some grave mistakes while his regime lasted, would never have dreamt of approaching Pastor Adeboye to call the Vice President to order for telling the truth against him. The truth is; Jonathan’s former Social Media aide, Reno Omokri, prodded his latest move to approach the RCCG for succour. The tweets by Omokri on the issue are enough evidence to show that he, indeed, prodded the reaction by Jonathan. Before now, Reno Omokri has been crying more than the bereaved since Jonathan conceded victory to President Buhari in the 2015 Presidential election. Reno Omokri since then has never seen anything good in the succeeding administration of President Buhari. He had whipped sentiments sufficient to rebrand and remold Jonathan out of power and had consistently failed. Remo Omokri acts as if a grand plan was afoot for Jonathan to return to power in 2019. Jonathan and members of that administration are lucky that they are Nigerians. In other climes, Presidents and Prime Ministers who merely accepted bribes and kickbacks are either in the dock today or behind bars. This year alone, the world has witnessed how Presidents and Prime Ministers of different countries were arraigned in court on allegation of corruption; not borderring on looting the Nigerian style, but on account of carelessness in handling bribery cases. Former South-African President, Jacob Zuma and Mauritius President, Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, are classic examples of how matured democracies abhor corruption. South-Africa and Mauritius never allowed the leaders breathing spaces until they eased them out of power, parading them in courts, all the same. The same scenario is playing out in Brazil where two successive leaders, Dilma Rousseff and her predecessor, Luiz Lula da Silva are currently in court answering charges on corruption over alleged 400 million euro bribe. In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing charges filed against him by the Police, which recommended his prosecution on two count charges of corruption and breach of trust. Nigeria too can fall in line with countries that present great abhorrence for corruption, showing sincerity of purpose and the will-power to just fight the menace at all levels.

Then as a faithful poster boy, Tinubu sent him to Aso Rock as a small spy and he was nicknamed a mere commissioner.

OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT

PRESS STATEMENT

THE FACTS OUT ON GRAND CORRUPTION OF PAST PRESIDENCY ONLY A TIP OF THE ICEBERG

*(Statement attributable to the Vice Presidential Spokesperson)

WE have read reports attributed to “a media office of former President Goodluck Jonathan”. It is clear from the foul language of the authors that the statement could not have come from the former President, but from the motley group of loud and rude characters whose brief seems to be to deny all and anything said against the former PDP government and to do so in the crassest possible language.

The alleged spokespersons of the former President say that facts long in the public domain, some even being used to prosecute several corruption cases are lies and that those of us in government restating these well known facts are liars.

They accuse Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, of lying against the former President or his government citing their involvement in the stealing of three billion dollars, while speaking recently at The Platform event on the 1st of May.

Just for clarity, I quote the Vice President “Grand corruption remains the most enduring threat to our economy. Three Billion US dollars was stolen in what was called the strategic alliance contacts in 2013, three Nigerians were responsible, today three billion dollars is one trillion Naira and our budget is 7trillion! ….” ..( link)

Two issues emerge. First, no mention is made of the former President.

Second, the story is not only true, it has been in the public domain for almost three years and it is the subject of criminal investigation and trials both here and in the UK.

The spokespersons also say that the allegations of corruption against the PDP government are mere lies. For clarity, the facts are laid out as follows:

As the Vice President said, $3B was stolen in the so- called NNPC Strategic Alliance Contracts. The three persons involved are Jide Omokore, Kola Aluko and the former Petroleum Resources Minister Diezani Alison- Maduekwe. The companies of both Jide Omokore and Kola Aluko lifted Nigerian crude oil and kept the proceeds. The total sums converted is in excess of three billion dollars including royalties, taxes and fees unpaid for the asset from which the crude was taken. The case is the subject of a trial in Nigeria, and criminal investigation in the US and UK, and the assets of all three individuals have been forfeited in Nigeria, the US and the UK.
The criminal diversion and theft of sums in excess of $2.5 billion meant for purchase of arms to prosecute the war against Boko Haram: The first phase of the investigations revealed several sordid details, many of the assets of culprits have been seized from them and they are facing trial.
The release of the sum of $289m in cash on February 25, 2015: Documents including cash vouchers indicate that the the sum of $289,202,382 was taken from the Joint Venture (JV) Cash Call Account No. 000-0000-11658-366 of the NNPC/NAPIMS with JP Morgan Chase Bank, New York, USA.
N70 billion was released in parts from the national treasury between January 8 and February 25, 2015.
In another illegal disbursement, 25th August 2014, N60B in cash in tranches of N40billion and N20billion: The sum was not tied to any project or procurement and was then shared between two security agencies under the supervision of the then NSA. Most of these sums ended up in the hands of senior PDP members some of whom have returned parts of the loot. Some are standing trial for these offenses. These facts are in the public domain.
There was yet another set of illegal fund withdrawals under one week between January 8and 16, 2015, where the sum of N1.5 billion was released in three tranches of N300m, N400m and N800m respectively. This money was released from the MEA Research Library Account .
Another document showed that N10 billion was released to the Office of the National Security Adviser by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on September 15, 2014. The money was released in tranches of foreign exchange of $47 million, $5 million, 4 million Euros and 1.6 million Euros. A letter from the Office of the NSA in November 2014 further showed that the monies were released as ‘funds for special services’. This particular release of N10B was sourced in November 2014 from a N40 Billion CBN released funds meant for Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR. Investigators showed that this money was released for the PDP Presidential Primaries.
Lamido Sanusi, then CBN Governor was sacked for speaking up about the over $20billion missing from oil proceeds.
These cases of grand corruption and open looting of public resources pauperized Nigeria and left us with little or no savings in the years when oil was selling at 100 to 114 dollars a barrel and we were producing 2.1 million barrels a day. When in 2015 oil prices went even as low as between 28 and 35 dollars a barrel and oil production fell to less than one million barrels a day we had no buffer, no savings, to tide us through.

The amount released from CBN in cash on a single day, ie the US$289M ( N88.1Bn) is enough to fund 244,000 N-Power graduates for a year, or pay for 1.2Billion school meals or complete half of Lagos -Ibadan or half of Abuja -Kaduna -Kano roads.

The Vice President also made the point that in 2014 with oil prices as high as 120 dollars per barrel, the total capital released for Power, Works, Housing, Defence, Transport, Agriculture and Defence were just N152Billion for the whole year.

By contrast, the Buhari administration committed N578Bn to the same Ministries in 2016 with oil prices as low as US$28 per barrel as part of the strategy to end the recession. The government was able to do more with less by stopping grand corruption and impunity.

Recently, the Minister Coordinating the economy in that administration has written a revealing book : Fighting Corruption is Dangerous: The Story Behind the Headlines. Who knows, perhaps her stories too are all lies!

He also expresses the gratitude of the Federal Government to the rescue workers and medical personnel who attended to the victims.

Security agencies have been directed to immediately take steps to beef up security in Mubi and environs, especially markets and places of worship. The agencies are also working to apprehend the criminals behind this act and bring them to justice.

Christianity EtcBeware Of Political Masquerades In The Christian Fold by maybanks(op): 12:21am On May 01, 2018
BEWARE OF POLITICAL MASQBEWARE OF POLITICAL MASQUERADES IN THE CHRISTIAN FOLD
STATEMENT BY THE FORUM OF UNITED NIGERIANS AGAINST DIVISIVE ELEMENTS, FUNADE

This Christian Awake message is either from politicians masquerading as concerned Christians and there are many or from a truly misinformed concerned person.

But let us set out the facts. There is no truth at all in the allegation that Buhari is a Jihadist or is in support of Fulani herdsmen killings.

Let us first remind ourselves that it was under a Christian President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo that 12 Northern States of Nigeria declared Sharia law. If this had happened under a Fulani President, you can imagine what the religious politicians would say.

Second it was under a Christian President, Goodluck Jonathan that the Boko Haram insurgency arose. The religious politicians who were benefiting from Jonathan, who he gave N7billion in February 2014 to share amongst themselves, then said Buhari and APC were Islamists who were behind the Boko Haram to make the country ungovernable for Jonathan.

The lies continued until Boko Haram attacked Buhari in Kaduna, killing five of his family members and aides and nearly killing him. The same Boko Haram under Jonathan abducted 200 largely Christian girls from Chibok. The government did nothing.

It was Buhari’s government that eventually started bringing them home. We May have forgotten that under the Christian Jonathan’s regime that Boko Haram attacked police headquarters and UN offices in Abuja. They attacked churches and mosques, schools and other public places all under a Christian President.

A few examples: On January 6, 2012,12 persons and 12 Christian worshipers were killed in the twin attacks in Adamawa State.

Also on February 25, 2012, A Boko Haram suicide bomber detonated himself at a church in Jos, Plateau State, killing 6 worshippers.

In April, suspected Boko Haram gunmen attacked a church in Kano and Maiduguri, where at least 19 people were killed.

On August 12, 2013, an attack on a Maiduguri mosque killed 56 people; and in November 3, 2014, a suicide bombing attack in Yobe State killed 15 Shiites.

Between January 2012 and May, 2015, there have been several attacks on churches.

For instance, on June 7, 2012 in Kaduna State, 19 persons were killed in bomb attacks against three churches.

On August 7, 2012, Boko Haram gunmen killed another 19 persons when they attacked a Deeper Life Church in Kogi State.

Similarly, on December 22, 2014, a suicide bomber detonated explosives at the gates of a church during service, killing 8 persons.

And on New Year’s day on January 1,2015, a suicide bomber died in an attempt to bomb ECWA Church II, behind the State University in Gombe.

In the same period farmer- herdsmen clashes took place in Benue, Plateau, and other places.

How is it that the authors of this write-up pretend not to know that Fulani herdsmen have killed more people in Zamfara, (an almost 90% Muslim State,) than both Benue and Taraba put together? And that almost everyone killed is Muslim? Or that over 800 Fulanis were killed in the Mambilla Plateau?

So the attack on a church in Gwer local government by mad men at 5am in the morning must be blamed on the President.

Where is your sense of fairness and justice? Why is it that you cannot see the hand of politicians desperate to discredit Buhari on his security credentials in this? What better way to create chaos and blame it on the President than walking into a church and killing worshippers? Where have you heard before that Fulanis many of whom are Bororos not even Muslims will go and attack a church?

Why have you not blamed the bombing of mosques in Adamawa State where dozens died last November on Buhari. So the fact that a Fulani is President and there are clashes basically over land and water means that it must be his fault?

Everyone who falsely accuses another of murder will not escape the judgment of God. Christians must not be propagators of falsehood especially sponsored by the opposition most of who want to return to continue the open and despicable looting that Buhari has now stopped.

By the way, the choice of Yemi Osinbajo in the ACN, ANPP, CPC, New PDP alliance that brought about the APC, was not Buhari’s choice. It was the choice of the Tinubu- led ACN. An alliance essentially between the North and the Southwest of Nigeria. In two previous failed presidential campaigns of Buhari, his running mates were from the South East: Ume-Ezeoke and Chuba Okadigbo. So it’s simply nonsense to suggest that Buhari chose Osinbajo in order to buy the silence of Christians.

[b]RE: OSINBAJO UNLIKE BIBLICAL DANIELS[/b]

There is an African proverb that says, the road construction engineer has finish his job, the talkative takes over. It is no news that interests in the rule of the game of politics and kulaks like shaka momodu is a tool in the hands of corrupt element trying hard to come back to power in Nigeria, but the people are wiser.

Today I read through his piece, I understand him to be a paid PDP apologist and writer whose activities are dictated by the blower of his piper, his seemingly substance less piece addressed to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is encapsulated in grudge, mindset and hatred.

Some people who cannot manage a home of five people successfully but they can point accusing fingers to a person who have served diligently in different organizations before becoming a national leader of the country, yet never relent, still hungry for success in all positive ways for the benefit of his people and to block all conduit pipes of treasury looters for the sake of country, citizens and the unborn generations. These among others make enemies of the state and people got mad.

According to Shaka Momodu the offence he picked against the Prof Yemi Osinbajo is based on what he called the principle of conspiracy between the Prof osinbajo and his principal President Muhammadu Buhari to address the incessant killing in Benue, Taraba and other affected states in the country, the unending boko harram insurgency, battle between the cattle herdsmen and the cattle rustler etc. I have realize that people don’t care if politician attack each other with untrue stories, they only think about their welfare forgetting that beyond politics, the Vice President and the president have their life to live.

My concern is not about the untrue stories and heresy composed in the essay but my concern is about how few supposed elites like shaka momodu has took it upon themselves to misinform the public about the good work, ground shaking infrastructure, national social intervention programmes that include a four cardinal point such as N-power, conditional cash transfer (CCT), Government Empowerment and Entrepreneurship Programmes, national home grown school feeding programmes. These programmes are targeted at the youths, women, artisan, craftsman and malnourished children.

WHO IS BIBLICAL DANIEL.
In a haste to fulfill his obligation of writing to his paymaster’s fantasy, mr shaka couldn’t even explain to his readers who biblical Daniel was or maybe mr shaka readers are only Christians, a pointer to his religious bigotry that has held this country down for so long, or maybe shaka momodu himself does not know the biblical Daniel, an attempt to run from this demystification exposes the cluelessness of shaka character.

The Daniel in the bible is a distinguished administrator with exceptional qualities, at this, the administrators and the pundits of his time try to find grounds for charges in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent. Finally these men said, “we will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God (Dan 6:3-5)

The verses highlights the outstanding character that the vice president Yemi Osinbajo represent in the Nigerian government; he is the hard-core and the heart beat of the current administration, free of corruption and other social vices, dedicated to economy growth and development. He is a man of good reputation in all criteria; he is brave and bold enough to called looters out publicly for the whole world to know the grave blunder and the atrocities they committed and gross fund mismanagement in the history of the country.

With all these fact seen, heard and rooted in the Bible, one knows that Osinbajo is a man of destiny child with sufficient grace of God.

The real fact of the matter that protest-preneur like shaka momodu will hide under their stingingly corrupt toga is that killings in Benue and some parts of the north predates the current administration, and the government of president muhamadu buhari has not relent in his fight against terrorism, so why continuous attack on the vice president? It takes a paid pdp apologist to descend so low into playing dirty with the name of a man so loved by all, but shaka reasons are not farfetched, his life depends on kickbacks from his paymasters who have sucked the country dry before this administration came for rescue mission in the face of corruption, maladministration, mismanagement and insecurity.

I wonder how on earth would a man whose voice only heard once in four years can come out publicly to criticize the man who has been the stability of the present administration and precise if he think attacking the government is the best way to be recognized, then he need a lot to learn. Everybody know the Vice-President Osinbajo has distinguished himself both in private life, professional calling and corridor of power, may his tribe and kind increase in our land. Amen.

PoliticsGroup Blasts Bbog Co-convener Aisha Yesufu by maybanks(op): 12:21pm On Apr 26, 2018
A socio-political group,The Nigerian Conscience Group(TNCG) has reacted to the statement credited to Aisha Yesufu, a co-convener of the “BRING BACK OUR GIRLS” (BBOG) on her twitter account when she said her biggest disappointment in President Muhammad Buhari’s administration is Prof Yemi Osinbajo.

The group made this known in her press release today in Ibadan, Oyo State. The statement read thus; “The Nigerian conscience group want to inform the general public and state clearly that they should disassociate themselves from the said statement as we identified her position is targeted at the person of the vice president and bring the present administration achievement to a none effect.

According to the group,”Mrs Aisha Yesufu is just an attention seeker,a political entrepreneur who is being sponsored by some treasury looters,enemy of Nigeria and members of the opposition against the federal government. All Aisha is good at in recent times is to continue blaming one personality or the other.

“Prof Osinbajo is a man of good character and reputation: any attempt by any group to bring him down and deny him of his position as the running mate of president Buhari in 2019 will not see the light of the day,we pledge our loyalty to his excellent performance and we will continue to identify with him. No amount of strategy and blame game will change our thought as Buhari and Osinbajo remain the ticket that will take Nigeria to the promised land”.
We hereby implore the entire public and good citizens of Nigeria to do away with any news or propaganda targeted to de-market and blaspheme Prof Yemi Osinbajo.

donphilopus: I expect those guys who were celebrating his arrest the other day to start babbling on this thread, that's if they've not died of heart attack merely viewing the headline. Most of them would soon invade this thread telling us how they saw El-rufai giving a bribe to the judge to rule in favour of him.

People who attend Jonathanian school of thought are very daft, clueless, useless and foolish, to say the least. Pathetic souls.

Meanwhile, those people who celebrated/justified El-rufai's arrest in Anambra were also the same people who said there was nothing wrong in Sen. Andy Uba's younger brother travelling to Ekiti for the Governorship Election. Hypocrites!
God bless You!!!!!

The truth is, the F.G will never approve this one man idea on a new education policy..

Who signed this system into law?
What date was this policy signed into law

Will Aregbesola issue his village certificates different from the internationally recognised WASCCE & others?

Will Osun pupils sit for a different SSCE and primary exam?

What will happen to the one man policy after Aregbesola's tenure?


Lol! Now I understand what you mean when you said Aregbesola operates on a "different" level...

Better go back to your caves and keep on distributing your left over opon Imo 'ipads'..

Osun is very far from Abuja..

Abuja is to Nigeria..

as Osun is to Aregbesola..
grin
But this is the same policy senator uche chukwumerije who is the chairman senate committee on education applauded when he came to the state of osun some months back. It seems you dont knw what this policy is all about. U should av at least ask for clarification.
