PoliticsRe: How We Determined The Autheticity Of Leaked Tape On Ekiti Election- U.S FIRM by mickeymimi: 3:08pm On Feb 07, 2015
CRIMINALS!!!!!! Evil PDP Rigging Machines.

So let assume it is fake as some people imply...then let Fayose and co take Sahara Reporters to court without haste for defamation of character. Fayose’s emotions can never be replicated by a software, and since when did softwares started speaking yoruba with fayose's gusto and accent.? The plan was orchestrated right from the top. GEJ knew about it. In the audio fayose was heard saying "this is not what we agreed in abuja".

Does anybody still doubt the fact that our PDP/military removed Buhari's credentials from his file?

Audit report indicts Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke and NNPC corporation to refund $1.48billion but some people said shebi it is only $1.48billion and it is not $20billion but come to think of it; can you tell me the amount in Naira? At the rate of 200 per dollar that is about 300Billion Naira and yet some people said it is just. God save Nigeria.

How did the military get the results quoted on his document if they claimed he only joined the Army with his principal ' s recommendation. Did the principal give them the result through telephone conversation? How was he able to go for courses and diploma in the UK, INDIA AND US without the requisite qualification? The military came out to say they have his certificates and after interference from above they went back and said we can't find it. Nigerian military, SSS, POLICE HAVE ALL BEEN COMPROMISED BY GEJ.

My position is since we have tried a Ph.D who does not know the simplest form of mathematics (Jonathanian mathematics | 16 > 19), then maybe we should try someone else who in your opinion is an 'illiterate' but has shown in the past that he has what it takes to rule the nation.

SaharaReporters further received credible intelligence that President Goodluck Jonathan had instructed the Chief of Defense Staff, Alex Badeh, to use the army in arresting and intimidating opposition politicians before and during the election. The audio recording provides exact details of the plot, with the collaborators almost degenerating into physical combat." DAMN!

"I will not vote and I will not encourage anyone to vote for the continuation of this government, simply because your colleagues numbering over 200 were kidnapped,” he said.

The playwright, who last December described the Jonathan administration as being worse than Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar, stated the President’s inability to locate and free the abducted girls represented leadership failure.

He noted that shortly after the girls were kidnapped, Jonathan failed to address the situation and went about as if nothing had happened.

Soyinka said it was, therefore, outrageous for anyone to say he was supporting the re-election of Jonathan.

He added,“It took the Jonathan government 10 days to even accept that the Chibok girls were missing. After that dereliction of duty; after that failure of leadership, after that betrayal of our future, for anyone to think or to put words in my mouth suggesting that I will vote or encourage anyone to vote for this regime is a travesty of intelligence.”

Speaking on the theme, “The Road to Sambisa”, the literary icon stressed Jonathan had not only betrayed children, he had failed as a leader.

“There has been a failure of leadership. Our children whom you represent today have been betrayed,” he said.

There have been one critical question which many right-thinking Nigerians have been throwing at some of those PDP/Presidency- sponsored mischief-makers that: who could have removed Buhari's copy of credential from his personal file with the army?

If army could tell Nigerians that it only had a form wherein they recorded all the five subjects' grades which Buhari scored in the exam in Buhari's file, where then is the photocopy of the result statement from which they copied the grades released to the media? Or could it have been possible that the army would only record grades for a student without having to have sighted the original result statement copy from which they initially copied?
Our army has always been rated as one of the best, now look at what politics is doing to our army. They should not forget that, it was the British that recruited and trained our military. Politics like, every other thing has it limits; and am beginning to believe this present politicians are crossing the boundary.

HealthWoman Born With No Womb Gives Birth To Miracle Twins by mickeymimi(op): 12:08pm On Feb 02, 2015
Woman born with no womb gives birth to miracle twins

A woman who was told she would never have children because she was born with no reproductive organs has given birth to twin girls.
Hayley Haynes had the miracle babies, Avery and Darcey, after hormone therapy enabled her to grow a womb.
She was told at the age of 19 that she would never be able to give birth as she had no womb, ovaries or Fallopian tubes.
But nine years on she has given birth to the twins after IVF treatment using an egg donor.
Ms Haynes and her husband Sam, both 28, are said to be overjoyed.

She said she had no idea she was different when she was growing up but began to grow concerned when she had not started her periods by the age of 19, despite going through other signs of puberty.
Following months of hospital trips and blood tests, specialists told her she had been born with XY chromosomes, meaning she was genetically male. She had no reproductive organs thanks to a condition called androgen insensitivity syndrome.
Mrs Haynes, from north London, said: “When they told me I had no womb I was so confused I felt sick. My biggest fear was never having children. Suddenly a huge piece of my life was missing. I felt like half a woman and was embarrassed. How I was going to tell a guy I was genetically male when I started dating?”
She confided in her friend Sam, with whom she had been close since the age of 16 and who comforted her throughout her ordeal and later became her boyfriend then husband.

Mrs Haynes said: “He’s been my confidant from day one and so supportive. I was worried any man would run a mile. But with Sam I felt accepted and loved for who I was. But we still didn’t know if we would ever have children. We both wanted a family, but we just had to wait and see if the treatment worked.”
The first signs of hope that Mrs Hayne’s condition might be curable came in 2007 when a new specialist at Royal Derby Hospital found a tiny womb missed on previous scans.
She told The Mirror: “It was only a few millimetres, but it was a start. He was optimistic it would grow. I still couldn’t conceive naturally but I could have the option of IVF.”
Mrs Haynes was given a course of hormone tablets to give her the right levels of progesterone and oestrogen in order to create an environment where her womb could grow and stop her suffering osteoporosis.
In 2011 Mrs Haynes was told her womb was ready for IVF. But in a bitter blow their local NHS trust refused to fund free IVF, even though guidelines said it should. She said: “First I found I couldn’t have children, then I was told I could. Now they were denying us the help we needed.”
However the couple, determined not to give up, paid £10,500 – more than half their savings – for IVF treatment at a clinic in Cyprus last April.
Mrs Haynes said: “I was so nervous. We only had one shot and couldn’t afford to go through it all again. I desperately wanted to be a mother and knew if there were no viable eggs or the implantation wasn’t successful I’d be distraught.
“Of the 13 eggs harvested only two were viable. After they were implanted I spent the rest of our 10 days resting.”
Doctors told the couple there was a 60 per cent chance Mrs Haynes would get pregnant and she should wait two weeks before taking a test, although – overcome by excitement – she took one after 10 days.
She said: “I was so nervous I was shaking from head to toe. I peered at the test and it said positive. I couldn’t contain my happiness. I was jumping up and down and screaming, but Sam kept his cool and made sure we took another test before we celebrated.”
When Mrs Haynes went for her six-week scan she was shocked to discover both eggs had taken and she was expecting non-identical twins.
“I couldn’t believe it. I freaked out, but I was over the moon at the same time. I had the chance to have a complete family,” she said.

Hayley Haynes pictured with her husband Sam
Mr Haynes added: “I felt numb with excitement. It was two for the price of one.”
Mrs Haynes said: “Although adopting was an option, we wanted the baby to be as close to ­biologically ours as possible by using an anonymous egg donor and Sam’s sperm.”
The pregnancy went well and in December her doctors decided to induce her two weeks early. She gave birth naturally to on Christmas Eve to Avery, at 5lbs 3oz, and Darcey, 4lbs 6oz.
Speaking publicly about the births for the first tine Mrs Haynes said: “Becoming a mother was the single most amazing moment of my life. When I held the babies in my arms for the first time I was overwhelmed. I had spent nine years coming to terms with the fact this might never happen, but in that moment all the pain just washed away.
“Darcey and Avery are the most beautiful little girls in the world. Even now, I can’t separate Sam from the girls because he loves them so much. We’ve spent so much on these babies. It’s not just our wallets that are empty. We are emotionally exhausted. But I’d do it again in a heartbeat for one cuddle with my girls.”
Dr Geetha Venkat, of Harley Street Fertility Clinic, London, described the case as “amazing”.
She said: “Normally in nature the female hormone oestrogen will help grow the womb. She’s lacking in the hormone, so they gave it to her with the HRT. She’s lucky she was born with the womb remnants. Technology has made this possible. It really is an amazing story.”

His behaviour always suggests that he is trapped in a pre-teenage stage of development .
If any APC sympathizer had likened Buhari to Jesus Christ, hell would have been let loose. I am waiting for Christian reaction to Okupe likening Jonathan to Jesus! I mean those who call Buhari an Islamic fundamentalist.
Okupe is a liability to PDP and the President. If he was appointed because of his bad mouth, Nigerians want his appointment terminated now. He has calculated that even if his name and presence forever becomes an abomination in the circles of the noble, mighty and honourable in Nigeria, the money is worth it. Good luck to you Doyin Okupe. But don't ever forget, the size of wealth you make from this ignoble venture can never buy you, your family and generations unborn a good name. The evil that men do lives after them.

PoliticsMilitary Arrests General, Senior Officers Over Baga Attack by mickeymimi(op): 11:48am On Jan 31, 2015
The authorities of the Nigerian military have arrested senior Army personnel on attachment to the Multi National Joint Task Force.

Those arrested and placed under movement restriction are a Brig. Gen, a Lt. Col. and five other officers of the Nigerian Army deployed to the Baga headquarters of Multinational Joint Task Force, which was attacked and taken over by members of the Boko Haram sect on January 5, 2015.

Investigations revealed that the military authorities arrested the Brigadier-General and six other officers including a Lt. Col. in Maiduguri and moved them to Abuja for questioning.

The arrested officers are expected to answer questions on the loss of men and location, and military equipment which were taken over by the insurgents.

It was learnt that Baga came under attack barely 48 hours after the Army moved weapons to fortify the place in anticipation of a well-coordinated onslaught against the insurgents.

The Army authorities are angry that some of the equipment fell into the hands of the insurgents.

It was learnt that the leadership of the Army decided to order the arrest of the affected senior officers in line with military tradition that the senior officers may have lost command in view of the circumstances surrounding the fall of Baga and had some clarifications to make.

It was learnt that the Army authorities would interrogate the affected officials to find out from them the circumstances surrounding the Boko Haram invasion of the headquarters of the MNJT and other places under their control.

The Director, Defence Information, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade, confirmed that officers of the Army on deployment to the MNJTF were being made to answer questions for the loss of men and equipment during the Baga attack in a text message to our correspondent on Friday.

He said that the decision of the Army leadership was normal as it was designed to gather necessary information for future operations in the area.

He said, “Nigerian officers in key command positions of the Multi National Joint Task Force are in the process of accounting for their action in the mission area leading to loss of weapons, men and location in their area of responsibility.

“This is a normal military procedure in major operations and after some encounter.

“The essence is to extract and collate relevant information for subsequent missions. It could also lead to or determine appropriate disciplinary action where necessary.”

Olukolade also said that troops had killed a substantial number of insurgents who were operating in Michika, the headquarters of the Michika Local Government Area.

He said that the troops had commenced an extensive mopping up operation in search of weapons, stranded terrorists and casualties.

“An extensive mopping up operation to search for arms or stranded terrorists and other casualties is ongoing in Michika after troops sacked the terrorists, who have been operating in the town and its environ.

“The main assault on terrorists’ main positions was concluded yesterday (Thursday) as many of them died in the combat. Troops who sustained injuries in the operation are receiving necessary medical attention.

“Other troops are continuing the pursuit of those who are on the run from the town. Normalcy has been restored accordingly,” he added.

PoliticsNigerians Accuse Presidency Of Rigging Jonathan-buhari Poll by mickeymimi(op): 10:07pm On Jan 30, 2015
Nigerians accuse Presidency of rigging Jonathan-Buhari poll

The Special Assistant to the President on New Media, Reno Omokri, on Sunday night suddenly closed an online poll he organised almost immediately President Goodluck Jonathan overtook former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, in the survey.
At the end of the poll, the president got 13,111 votes representing 49.3 percent, while Mr. Buhari got 12,875 votes, representing 48.41 percent. The president had less than one percent lead over Mr. Buhari.
Six hundred and nine voters, representing 2.29 percent of the total votes, were undecided.
Sources close to Mr. Omokri said he decided to hurriedly close the poll in apprehension that Mr. Buhari’s supporters might charge back online to vote the former head of state to an unassailable victory.
Mr. Omokri did not indicate the duration of the poll in the beginning and rushing to close it after the president got a slim lead is like changing the rules in the middle of the game, said Femi Falade, a development expert and school owner in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.
“That’s clear rigging,” Mr. Falade said.
PREMIUM TIMES had reported how Mr. Buhari led in the polls for three days in what is seen as an embarrassing and unforeseen outcome for the president’s camp.
Several aides and loyalists of the president were mobilised extensively to reverse the trend in the last 24 hours.
Insiders in the president’s camp said presidency and administration officials as well as the top hierarchy of the governing Peoples Democratic Party felt “deeply embarrassed” by the direction of the poll and mobilised supporters of the president in and outside Nigeria to quickly get online and vote in his favour.
“Phone calls were made to supporters of the president in the Transformation Ambassador of Nigeria (TAN), Goodluck Support Groups (GSG), Gejites and other groups sympathetic to the president,” one of our sources said.
“They were being pressured to get online and reverse the results in favour of the president, even if means voting multiple times with multiple devices,” said the source who preferred not to be named for security reasons.
A source close to the creator of the poll, Mr. Omokri, also told PREMIUM TIMES that the presidential aide has a mandate to ensure the poll did not close until Mr. Buhari is “roundly defeated”.
Most online polls have time frames within which they are conducted. The poll by news website, Sahara Reporters, ran for 24 hours. But Mr. Omokri’s ran for four days and closed abruptly.
Buhari still in the lead
Despite the efforts to garner support for the president, which has seen his fortune leaping from 2,455 votes, representing 26.75 percent as at last night, to 12,016 votes, representing, 48.46 percent as at 4:27 p.m. on Sunday, Mr. Buhari remains in the lead.
The former head of state, who led the president with 6,411 votes, representing 69.87 percent on Saturday night, was seen leading with 12,198 votes, representing 49.2 percent at 4:27 p.m. on Sunday.
Also, while 310 persons, representing 3.38 percent were undecided last night; the number of undecided voters increased to 580 votes, representing 2.34 percent.
Background
On October 15, the day former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, declared his intention to run for president in the 2015 election, news website, Sahara Reporters, activated an opinion poll asking Nigerians to indicate who they would vote for if the election were to hold that day between Mr. Buhari (as candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC) and President Goodluck Jonathan ( as candidate of the Peoples Democratic, PDP).
The poll lasted for only 24 hours, and out of a total of 15,435 persons that voted, Mr. Buhari got 12,246 votes, representing 79 percent of the total votes cast, while President Jonathan got 3189 votes, representing 21 percent of the total votes.
However, ostensibly to counter the survey conducted by Sahara Reporters, Mr. Jonathan’s aide, Mr. Omokri, set up a similar poll asking almost the same question posed by the news website.
His poll, which is still running on his blog, “Build Up Nigeria” posed the question: “If the Nigerian Presidential election were held today, who would you vote for between President Goodluck Jonathan and General Muhammadu Buhari?”.
Mr. Omokri’s poll began a day after Mr. Buhari declared to run, but unlike the one ran by Sahara Reporters, which has since closed, the one by Build Up Nigeria only closed suddenly after Mr. Jonathan leapt to a marginal lead.
Online Poll not scientific
Online polls, such as the ones by Sahara Reporters and Mr. Reno are not representative and do not necessarily represent public opinion.
“It categorically does not represent public opinion – at best, it may coincide with it,” the BBC says in itsGuideline on Opinion Polls, Surveys, Questionnaires, Votes and Straw Polls.
“Online votes are particularly vulnerable to campaigns, lobby groups and individuals who seek to organise mass or multi voting. For that reason, some highly controversial issues are not, normally, suitable for online voting as the risk of being hijacked is too great,” the guideline adds.
Below is the result of the poll after it closed. Please click on the link below.

PoliticsRe: Awolowo,Azikiwe And Aminu Kano Boycotted 1979 Presidential Debate by mickeymimi: 7:49pm On Jan 30, 2015
PDP had set precedent of debate boycotts. PDP Boycotted 1999 debate against Falae , no one asked them to pull out of the race then. We can not fall for this threat. Jonathan dodged 2011 debate against Buhari. Heaven did not fall.
GMB is not afraid of any debate but it must be on a fair standing. He participated in the 2011 presidential debate. A debate is between two or more people. When it's you alone, then it's a monologue

Remember Omisore ran away from Aregbesola only last year and PDP did not search long for offering an excuse for that.

Looking good . Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong.

PoliticsRe: Jonathan Can Afford To Ignore Boko Haram - Cynical Politics by mickeymimi: 5:15pm On Jan 30, 2015
Fabolous360:
Do U need a prophet 2 tell dat IBB is main sponsor of Boko haram & GMB is dier father. Have U ask urself d reason why we have d best military in Africa bt we can't fight common Boko haram. Boko haram was a tool set up by GMB & sponsored by IBB & some northern leaders to distract d government of GEJ which is d opposition party. How can GEJ fight book haram wai we have IBB's men in DSS, Army, Navy, Immigration, police etc so I don't blame GEJ. GEJ till 2019!
IBB is my father — says Jonathan

This election is getting funnier by days. Imagine the sound that "IBB is main sponsor of Boko haram" is the father of our own Nebuchadnezzar (GEJ) . Horrible. For a sitting President to have visited a man who turned corruption into state policy means we aren't serious about fighting corruption in Nigeria. Something is fishy within PDP & it's disappointing. TO GEJ, IBB is a saint.

Jonathan .."In an interview after his closed door meeting with the former military president, President Jonathan explained that he was in Minna to see the former president following his recent return from abroad after medical treatment.

He said he was with Babangida to express his appreciation to him over his leadership and commitment to a unified and peaceful Nigeria.

Calling Babangida his father, Jonathan was happy at the good condition he found the former military President, noting that as a former leader, Babangida possessed the sort of experience needed to tackle the nation’s security challenges."
