PoliticsI Don't Trust Politicians, They Are Liars. Pastor Adeboye by Mc4larin(op): 11:39am On Jan 17, 2015
The General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on Friday has said he does not trust politicians. Speaking in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, during a two-day interdenominational prayer.

He said; 

“I don’t trust politicians. Politicians are liars. They don’t fulfil most of their promises. A politician can tell you that they will give all of you (students) chicken each, which we all know it is impossible.”

The RCCG General Overseer, however, asked Nigerians to stop worrying themselves over who would emerge winner in the next general elections.

“God has already planned who will be the President of Nigeria. God has already planned that before we were born. God is not like human beings who doubt what is to be done. He has plan for everything.”

PoliticsREVEALED: 5 Shocking Questions Obasanjo Asked Jonathan At The Abeokuta Meeting by Mc4larin(op): 4:39pm On Jan 15, 2015
The reconciliatory visit of President Goodluck Jonathan was a tensed one as former president, Olusegun Obasanjo put him on the hot seat in his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta on Monday, Leadership exclusively gathered.
Flanked by the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye and the founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, who were there as witnesses to the meeting on request of the Egba chief, asked him questions which he had earlier thrown up in his correspondence to Jonathan.
Questions from Obasanjo mother of all meetings with Jonathan include the five highlighted below.

The former president asked him to confirm if he did not agree to only run for one term, his slow action to tackling the Boko Haram menace when it was just budding despite warning, why he gave licence to Tompolo and Asari Dokubo to import arms under the names of their private companies and other issues.

He queried, "Tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,

(1) Did you agree to run for only one term or not?

(2) What did you tell me was your reason for not going after Boko Haram insurgents even when I told you this will boomerang?

(3) What happened to Nigeria's external reserve and Sovereign Wealth Fund?

(4) Did you give licence to Niger Delta militants (Dokubo and Tompolo) to import arms in the name of their privately owned companies? If so, for what reason?

(5) Did you not get correspondence from the United States consulate that a certain citizen named Buruji Kashamu is indicted for drug trafficking?
Why did you appoint the same Kashamu as South West leader of PDP rather than hand him over to the US?


And did the PDP give automatic Senate ticket to a wanted and convicted drug baron?

Jonathan could not utter a word and the clergy men at the meeting were both utterly shocked.

Jonathan has a hidden agenda , God will not let him destroy Nigeria!!!..
PoliticsLagos Apc, Pdp Disagree Over Scrapping Of Lastma, Kai, Lawma by Mc4larin(op): 10:34am On Jan 12, 2015
A Jimi Agbaje-led Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State would embark on mass retrenchment of civil servants in the state, the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state has
said.

In a statement issued in Lagos, Sunday, the APC said that a lot of civil servants in the state should “kiss their jobs goodbye” if the PDP takes over government in the February gubernatorial election.

But in a swift response to the claims, Mr. Agbaje, the PDP gubernatorial candidate, said that the APC’s “fears are illogical.”

‘Goodbye to LASTMA, KAI, LAWMA’ Joe Igbokwe, the Lagos State APC Publicity Secretary, said that Mr. Agbaje would embark on a mass sack of civil servants just like Ayo Fayose, the Ekiti State Governor, who sacked over 300 employees of the Ekiti State Traffic Management Authority, the equivalent of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA.

“Just as the Fayose administration embarked on the mass sacking of over 800 members of the Peace Corps and other employees of the state, Agbaje would go after employees of all state parastatals,” Mr. Igbokwe said.

“Employees of the Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) task force, the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), the Lagos State Waste Management Agency (LAWMA) and over 60 other agencies would be sent into the labour market if the PDP took over.”

The APC said that a month after Mr. Fayose became governor of Ekiti State, he slashed the salaries of the state’s street sweepers from N10, 000 to N5, 000. “At a time when the rate of unemployment in the country is high, workers on the payroll of the Lagos State Government
cannot risk losing their means of livelihood by voting for a party that is on a revenge mission having been rejected by the people of Lagos in four different elections.”

The Lagos APC also urged the civil servants not to forget that while many states and the Federal Government had failed to pay the December salaries, the Lagos State Government paid early, and also added a 15 per cent salary bonus.

‘Illogical’ claims Responding to the claims, Felix Oboagwina, spokesperson for Mr. Agbaje’ campaign, said the APC was “turning logic on
its head.”

Mr. Oboagwina told PREMIUM TIMES that the situation in Lagos and Ekiti states presented two “completely different” scenarios.

“They are obviously comparing two incomparable states,” said Mr. Oboagwina, Director of Media and Publicity for Mr.
Agbaje.

“Lagos is a buoyant economy with a robust IGR. Instead of scrapping state-run agencies, the government of Mr. Jimi Agbaje will actually explore and exploit all avenues to create
more jobs for the teeming masses of unemployed youths suffering under the APC government.”

Mr. Oboagwina said that the reality of fiscal wastage in Lagos was not state-run agencies, but drainpipes deliberately created into the system through political patronages to friends and
acolytes of the powers that be.

“Actually, APC is accusing people of what it is guilty of,” Mr. Oboagwina said. “Lagos State Government under APC and its antecedents have been guilty of stifling private initiative that could create avenues for employment, with the government’s negative and unfriendly attitude to entrepreneurship, double taxation, demolition of houses and shops, demolition and handing over of traditional markets to cutthroat developers, and the like.

“Today, Lagos is low on the international business-friendly index for world cities, thanks to APC.

“Every state owes itself a duty to block drainpipes. And Ekiti has done what the Governor feels is best for his state at this
moment. But it is not a model we shall likely apply in Lagos.”

PoliticsBREAKING: Youth Set Jonathan's Campaign Bus Ablaze In Jos by Mc4larin(op): 7:02pm On Jan 10, 2015
Some angry youth on Saturday attacked and set fire on a campaign bus branded with President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign posters at Zololo junction, Bauchi road in Jos, Jos north Local Government area of Plateau state.

The bus was on fire at the time of filling this report. However, witnesses said the driver of the bus escaped unhurt.

It is not clear what led to the attack. Police could not be immediately reached for comments.

A witness whose car was also torched by the rampaging mob, said another Peoples Democratic Party, PDP-branded car was
also set alight.

The source, who only identified herself as Mrs. Rose, told PREMIUM TIMES that her Honda car was also smashed by the protesting youth.

She said the road leading to the area was blocked by the rampaging youth, as they bashed other vehicles plying the route.

According to her, the incident occurred in the presence of members of the Special Taskforce on Jos crisis STF, who could not help stop the action of the youth.

The incident has generated tension within the state capital Jos, as residents rushed home for safety.

The attack occurred as PDP supporters in the state converged at the Hiapang Airport to receive the gubernatorial candidate of the party, Gyang Pwajok, who was returning from Lagos
after receiving his flag last Thursday

PoliticsJonathan's Lagos Rally! by Mc4larin(op): 5:43pm On Jan 09, 2015
I spent about an hour this afternoon listening to
the President in my state and, for almost the same period, I saw a very angry president. I saw a president who was recriminating about people
criticizing his job performance and was blaming all those who ruled before him, forgetting that he had been on this job for six years.

“And he kept saying that, ‘They say we don’t have a plan.’? But for 25 minutes, he did not reveal a plan on power; he did not reveal a plan on security; he did not reveal a plan on corruption.

“Now, after six years, without being able to articulate what he is doing and what he will do and he keeps blaming everybody, forgetting that he is the Commander-in- Chief, if the kitchen is too hot, as it is becoming of late, you must get out of the kitchen.” ....

AND THEN A FRIEND SAID The first time I heard
that President Goodluck Jonathan would be coming to Lagos for his reelection campaign, I was happy because I thought his coming to Lagos would be to tell me how he intended to solve the many problems bedeviling the progress Nigerians. Today happened to be the dat I gave waited for, I was eager to return to the office early in other to watch my President campaign for second time but alas, I was disappointed like before as MY PRESIDENT
could not tell me why I should Reelect him rather, he was sending tantrum at Buhari, APC and his perceived enemies.

MY PRESIDENT rather than tell me how he intend to KILL corruption, he was telling me how he met with heads of anti corruption agencies.

Rather than tell me why petrol price has refused to come down despite fall in oil price in international market, he was telling me how he slept in filling station looking for fuel.

Instead of telling me how he will fight BOKO Haram, he was saying how past leaders never equipped the army. Instead of telling me how
Nigeria will come out of the quagmire we found our selves due to falling oil price, he is telling me how MEND who he once defended wanted to
assassinate him.

Mr president sir, we knew there were problems that was why we elected you in 2011 to solve the
problems but, now you passing the blames again, when will you stop the blame game and address the problems head on. Once again, you goofed at your Lagos rally, you failed to convince me why I should vote you once again

Music/RadioIs Star Boy Wizkid High On Ice Again?! [MUST READ] by Mc4larin(op): 10:44am On Dec 28, 2014
Six weeks ago, I was in Benin City to support a friend who was getting married that weekend. We drove down to Ugbowo campus of UNIBEN, laughing along the way at bini guys and the way they pronounce certain words. We got stuck in an unusual traffic jam and my friend who was driving, took the opportunity to reply his pings, pausing only to turn up the radio when Wizkid’s “In My Bed” came on. A few seconds later, he increased the volume even more. I accepted that since I was in his car, I had to endure his choice of songs. So I listened, trying to figure out why he was interested in that particular song.

Though the melody has this jingle-catchy feel, everything else about the song is horrible. The mix brought to mind those days when Nigerian studio engineers were still learning how to mix. The overall instrumentation is noisy with the kick pitched high, like a headache. Played on F-sharp minor, which is a predominantly high key for most people, but the struggling syncopation over a lazy bass line weighs the whole song relentlessly down.

My friends know that I have a crazy physical reaction to songs, mostly when I love it. In this instance, I was gasping for breath by the end, as if the song was trying to strangle me.

I thanked God I was still alive when it finally ended. But as the traffic lingered my friend put down his phone, this time to surf through radio stations. Again, he landed on “In My Bed.” That was when I really got scared, thinking I was going to pass out.

This year, we have had a mix of both good and bad songs. Wizkid’s “In my bed” is one of those ear worms you don’t want to get into your brain space for three minutes and 46 seconds. Those who will say “WTF” is Etcetera saying? I want you to note that I have a zero interest in persuading you to agree with me. If you enjoy “In My Bed,” I won’t dream of changing your mind. I heard it again last weekend at my manager’s party, and for a second, I thought it was some kind of pain killer advert, because the radio station where I have my show, currently runs an ad that sounds like a more palatable version of it.

My Christmas day was almost ruined when a caller on my show requested “In My Bed” for his girlfriend. Because Christmas only comes once in a year, I decided to grant her wish, but as soon as I clicked play, I had the sort of physical reaction associated with someone suddenly coming in contact with bees. And before my mind could process what was happening, I hammered the stop button quickly, arrgh! If you are one of those who regard this song as a standard club track with all the necessary “thumps and bumps” and you are angry at my loathing of it, it doesn’t bother me at all. I have fantasised for weeks about punching this song in the eye, but unfortunately, the song doesn’t have a head, talkless of eyes.

How can one song cram in so many failed decisions per minute? One minute you are trying to woo a girl into your bed, the next, you are saying Tinubu eleniyan, Fashola eleniyan. What has Tinubu eleniyan got to do with getting her in your bed? Are you pimping her to Tinubu or to the other names you mentioned in the song? There’s nothing wrong with praise singing if you do it right. “In My Bed” sounds like a guy trying so hard to get it right and therefore getting it all wrong. You packed in the same overused lines “Anywhere I go all my people show me love / And people trying to bad mouth me. Don’t you think by now, we’ve heard enough of your sniffy little screech of being chased by enemies? It is boring already.

Even a connoisseur of pop trash won’t find anything to like about a song like this. “In My Bed” is one song you don’t need to know the lyrics, you may want to shield your friends and loved ones from its strange concoction. It is indeed the worse song of this or any other year. Oh sorry, this year is not over yet, so it’s theoretically possible a worse contender could emerge, but I doubt it. Let’s put it this way, if placed in comparison with any of Artquake’s songs, it would still be a distant second. I can’t remember the last time there was a hit song this whack.

What is Africa's most prosperous country?

According to new research from the Legatum Institute, which last week ranked prosperity in 38 African countries around criteria ranging from economics to education to health, the

In contrast, the Central African Republic was the lowest ranked country on the continent. The country, which has a per capita GDP of $584, has seen increasing violence since the end of 2012, and only 21.5% of the population have access to
sanitation according to the prosperity index.

10. Senegal
Senegal ranks as the continent's 10th most prosperous nation, according to Legatum Institute's 2014 Africa Prosperity Report, up nine places since 2012.

9. Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso ranks ninth in the 2014 report, having risen by five places since 2012.

8. Rwanda
Rwanda was ranked the eighth most prosperous African nation. The report praised the country for "actively encouraging women" to shape the future of their country.

7. Ghana
Ghana has a vibrant economic spirit. The West African nation was ranked seventh in the prosperity rankings and was considered the second safest nation on the continent.

6. Algeria
The sixth most prosperous nation in Africa is Algeria. The country, where 93% of respondents have a cell phone, topped the economy index.

5. Tunisia
Tunisia is the fifth most prosperous African nation in 2014 according to the Legatum Institute. The country ranks first in the health sub-index and citizens have a life expectancy of
75 years -- 17 years higher than the African average.

4. Namibia
Fourth most prosperous African country: Namibia, ranked second in the governance sub-index.

3. Morocco
Morocco is the third most prosperous African nation.

2. South Africa
South Africa ranked as the second most prosperous country in Africa, with nearly 40% of people surveyed saying it's a good time to find a job.

1. Botswana
As well as beautiful natural heritage, Botswana is the most prosperous African country according to research conducted by the Legatum Institute. The landlocked country ranks first in the report's governance index.

PoliticsFlawed Primaries, Aggrieved Aspirants Set To Dump PDP En Masse by Mc4larin(op): 9:36pm On Dec 14, 2014
A major crisis is brewing within the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) following fallout from party primaries.

Across the country, many aggrieved aspirants
who were short-changed in the process are crying foul and threatening to defect en-masse to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) party in order to frustrate the ambition of imposed candidates.

Checks across the states reveal that many of the
governorship aspirants in state like Rivers,
Adamawa, Enugu, Taraba, Sokoto and Kebbi
States have vowed to give a bad blow to the
ambitions of so-called anointed candidates and
work against the success of the party in favor of
the opposition party wherever they can do so.

One of the aggrieved aspirant today in Abuja
appeared on a Radio Program (Ray Power), the
apparent, a former deputy governor in Sokoto
state, Mukhtar Shehu Shagari said that the result
declared in the state was written by somebody
and that no primary election was conducted. "I personally went to meet with the election
committee and told them that with the situation
on ground election cannot hold because
delegates were allowed to enter the venue and
security situation was not encouraging and I told
them to postpone the election, not only that I even wrote it and handed it over to them but they
ignored me.

Now they have announced the result
written by one person and said that I had just
only one vote out of 984 delegates while the
imposed aspirant got 983 ".
Mr. Shagari has asked the party to rescind its
decision and re-conduct a fresh election for all the
aspirants or deal with the consequences.

"Therefore I wish to call on the national
leadership of our party (PDP) to take note that
there was no gubernatorial primary election for
Sokoto PDP, disband the electoral committee
which by the attitude of its chairman, cannot
guarantee a free and fair conduct of the primary
election.

My appeal to the leadership of our great party,
the PDP is to formally and immediately set up an
unbiased Electoral Committee made up of
credible men and women of proven integrity to
conduct the Gubernatorial primaries for Sokoto
state within the shortest possible time.”, Shagari
stated.

Shagari shocked listeners when he said that APC
was an organized party in the state coupled with
the likes of its candidate, Aminu Tambuwal. He
maintained that if PDP fails to field him as the flag
bearer the party will lose in the state.

Though
Shagari did not reveal his next line of action but
a reliable source within the party said that he has
perfected his plan to pitch his tent with the APC.

In Rivers State 15 aspirants alleged that their
names were deleted from the list of contestants
for the state governorship primaries, leaving only Nyesom Wike, a former education minister
imposed on the state PDP by the first lady,
Patience Jonathan. The aggrieved aspirants
recently held a joint press briefing asking for
outright cancellation of the purported
governorship primary. According to a reliable
source close to the aspirants, many of them have
perfected plan to work for the emergence of APC
candidate in the general election.

In Taraba State where the party moved the
governorship primary for the state to Abuja to
enable the fraudulent installation of a candidate
favored by billionaire and former army general,
Theophilus Danjuma, the party reportedly sold
the governorship slot to General Danjuma, who
selected Samuel Ortom-Darius Ishyaku, a former
Minister of the Niger Delta Affairs to get the ticket.

In Enugu State, three candidates have emerged
in a bitterly contested primary, they include
Senator Ayogu Eze, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and
Professor Onyeke O. Onyeke, all from Enugu
North senatorial zone where the governorship
slot had been zoned by the party.

Crisis started in the state when the Electoral Panel
arrived Enugu from Abuja with a different list of
delegates which was reportedly handed to them
by the National Secretariat of the party.

The
bizarre occurrence forced all other the aspirants
to conduct parallel elections in their respective
constituencies and declared themselves winner.

Feelers from the state indicated that in the next
few weeks some of the aggrieved aspirants will
move en mass with their supporters to the
opposition party.

In Lagos, former Minister of State for Defense,
Musiliu Obanikoro has dragged the party to the
court over the shoddy conduct of the
gubernatorial primary in the state and continued
to threaten fire and brimstone. The Lagos
governorship primary had a dubious distinction
of producing more votes than the number of the
delegates at the convention that produced
newcomer Jimi Agbaje as governorship candidate.

In Oyo state where a former Senate leader, Teslim
Folarin emerged as the PDP party flag bearer,
many aggrieved candidates said elections did not
take place at all. The disagreement has forced a
former governor of the state, Alao Akala to move
to the Labour Party in protest against the
manipulation that characterized the exercise,
others took the party to court to get a
cancellation of the exercise.

Adamawa State primary which later held in Abuja
where the former chairman of Economic and
Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), Nuhu Ribadu
emerged as the winner continues to feed
discontent in the party. A group of aspirants led
by the incumbent governor of the State, Bala
Ngilari, met and decided to suspend Ribadu from
the party at the state level.

With the the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari
as the presidential flag bearer of the All
Progressive Congress (APC), the PDP is jittery that
the APC stands to reap from its internal crisis and
disaffection of many party aspirants schemed out
its primaries
