Your comment gave you away as a man that have no empathy for vulnerable members in a family, the way your President have abandoned hapless Nigerians to their fate.

Don't know of the hunger aspect. But I believe people were not as hungry then as now. Also, people never went to bed angry at the Government under Buhari, unless the corrupt ones or people who were affected by the imprisonment of some of their corrupt closed ones. People were not also angry at the Government then because they could sleep with their two eyes closed, unlike now.....................

It’s PDP on PDP violence, says Buhari, absolves loyalists

Leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Vol­unteers Force(NDPVF), Alhaji Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, formerly known as Mel­ford Dokubo Goodhead Jr., has earned a reputation as a man who has, arguably, made some controversial pronouncements over the 2015 general elections.

In this interview, he spoke on the claim by President Goodluck Jonathan that Mr. Henry Okah attempted to kill him, his al­leged threat to overrun Yoruba and other issues.Excerpts:

What is your reaction to the recent endorsement of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari by MEND?

Our people say that birds of the same feather flock together. It is not strange that this phantom organisation is endorsing Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. I have always maintained that there is nothing like MEND. Anybody who has been reading my write-ups and interviews know my position on this. Let me make some expla­nation, regarding the coming into being of MEND.

When I was in the prison, NDPVF, the the political arm of organisation I belong to, went to Okerenkuku on the invitation of Tompolo. The IYC also went. Tom­polo’s organisation was there too. Other organisations were equally there. They went to Okerenkuku for a meeting on how to come together for our struggle. They decided that they did not want any more arrest. They resolved to use a faceless organisation. Denis Otuaro came with Kingston Poto and later Henry Okah came to me at Kuje prison.

They came to get my opinion on the need to get a name that would be used. Although members of the NDPVF resisted the new alignment, I coerced them into joining them. Okah and others wanted us to be faceless. They decided that fighters would bear phantom names. So, they came up with names, like Gen. Godswill, Tamino, Gbo­mo Jomo, Alaibe, etc. These were phantom names. They were not real. That was how the organisation, MEND, was formed. Be­fore I came out of prison, there was a break when Henry Okah became more domi­neering. He was extorting money from oil companies. Almost all the governors in the Niger Delta were paying him millions. A former of Rivers State governor was paying him N100 million monthly.

Below was what I said last week. I knew this would happen.


I said here last week that GEJ have no choice but to go to Abeokuta and beg Baba Obasanjo but this is medicine after death. Obasanjo has been vilified, insulted and disrespected by GEJ in the last four years. Now chicken is coming home to roost.

This is very silly. Dropped out to join the military. Even if that were true, the military training, do you know what it entails?. Is it not at the very least an HND qualification?. Can you read a map without knowing geography?. Can you calculate the angle to set artillery gun without knowing basic physics?.

1- Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala—The first woman Finance Minister of Nigeria, the world’s seventh largest country, Okonjo-Iweala has courageously taken on the nation’s endemic corruption, helping to refurbish Nigeria’s image and economic prospects.

2- Pietro Parolin—Pope Francis’s right-hand man, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Parolin has been critical to many of the most significant initiatives which have begun to change in fundamental ways one of the world’s oldest (and most change-resistant) institutions.

3- Arati Prabhakar—The Indian-born engineer has used her platform as director of the U.S. Department of Defense’s DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) to speak out on the need to be vigilant about technology’s double edge, taking seriously the agency’s founding mission to create and invest in breakthrough technologies that protect U.S. national security.

HEY PRESTO: as if by magic, Nigeria has declared itself the biggest economy in Africa. Overnight, with the wave of a statistical wand, it has added 89% to its GDP, now worth $510 billion, and soared past the previous leader, South Africa, worth $370 billion. Nothing has changed in Nigeria’s real economy, except the way it is measured. Yet the magic matters.

The GDP revision is not mere trickery. It provides a truer picture of Nigeria’s size by giving due weight to the bits of the economy, such as telecoms, banking and the Nollywood film industry, that have been growing fast in recent years (see article). Other countries perform similar statistical magic—Ghana, for example, added 60% to its economy in 2010—though few wait two decades, as Nigeria inexcusably did, to update the national accounts. [size=15pt]In Nigeria’s case, the new numbers confirm that it really is the colossus of the continent.[/size]

Buhari of 2011 was running on his own steam. The Buhari of 2015 is a captive. We know who is behind his running mate. We know those who put all those working in his team where they are today. We can’t be fighting bondage in Lagos and also put ourselves in bondage at the national level.

Mallam El-Rufai wishes to remind General Buhari that he has remained perpetually unelectable because his record as military head of state, and afterwards, is a warning that many Nigerians have wisely heeded. His insensitivity to Nigeria’s diversity and his parochial focus are already well-known. In 1984, Buhari allowed 53 suitcases belonging to his ADC’s father to enter Nigeria unchecked at a time the country was exchanging old currency for new.

“A building located at No. 10, Bola Ajibola Street, Ikeja, Lagos, was
being used for cloning of INEC Permanent Voters Card (PVC) by some
unscrupulous persons with intent to hack into INEC database, corrupt it
and replace same with their own data;

INDICATIONS have emerged that prominent Northern leaders and elders who had initially declared support for the candidacy of General Muhammadu Buhari in the February elections have started reconsidering their position, following alarms that the general might be suffering a serious health challenge.
