APC should call their janjawe.e.dians foot soldiers to order so that they will stop killing people. Tundeajani show ur face.

Former Minister of Information and Communications, Mr. Labaran Maku, on Tuesday in Abuja said he never accused President Goodluck Jonathan of being a sponsor of violent sect, Boko Haram.

He also stated that more than 60 villages in Nasarawa State had been destroyed because of social and political unrest.

Speaking with journalists, Maku, who is also the Nasarawa State governorship candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance, said reports in the social media linking him with accusing the President of being a mastermind of Boko Haram insurgency, were the handiwork of Jonathan’s enemies, who want to pull the President down.

He said the unnamed enemies had decided to use him (Maku) due to his profile and closeness to the President.

According to him, despite himself and his campaign organisation refuting such claims for over two weeks, “the enemies of President Jonathan have continued to tell lies with a view to putting me and the President in bad light.”

Maku said, “There are desperate plans to slander the President by his opponents. About two weeks ago, I saw on the social media an image quoting me to have accused Jonathan of sponsoring Boko Haram. But my campaign organisation dismissed the report; yet they continued their mischievous fiction.

“We continued to deny it. But I was also quoted as saying that Jonathan was behind the attacks in my state. They were looking for someone who is close to the President for people to believe. The opponents of the President are doing this to pit me against him. I find this report very reprehensible, very unprofessional and mischievous.

“It is absolute desperation by enemies of the President to pull him down using my name. My position on violence in this country has been very consistent. Terror attacks have been a mix of religion and politics. Terrorism has become an international phenomenon.

“Some people are using terrorism to turn the public against Jonathan and discredit him. Terrorism follows the theory of guerrilla warfare. Because terrorists do not carry uniform, they operate everywhere,”

The ex-minister said he was campaigning for Jonathan because he considered the President’s election higher than his own and also because Jonathan was the adopted candidate of APGA.

Maku said, “I come from Nasarawa State where terrorism is also serious through attacks in villages. More than 60 villages in Nasarawa State have been destroyed because of social and political reasons. I want to make it clear that at no point in my life have I linked the President with terrorism. I worked for my conscience and I cannot betray a government I served for six years. I believe in Jonathan, who has made the economy strong in the midst of war.

“Opponents have the right to attack the President but we must approach this campaign with all sense of decency as there is a limit to propaganda. We should know that there is still God in all we do. This insinuation that because I am in APGA and have turned against him is not true. He is still my candidate, despite my being in APGA. I am leading his campaign.

“Those who are doing this should remove the name of Labaran Maku. We must not take the President for granted because one day, we will remember him.”

Atiku is absolutely right.. There's been a free-fall of the Naira since this week following the uncertainty of the shifted elections... As at last week, the official pound rate was still about N285 = £1... Now it is N305 and still falling.

It's difficult for liars to believe that other people are not liars. GMB is attractive if he will fight corruption and crush Boko Haram but his attitude towards democracy and freedom of media isn't encouraging. GEJ seems to be a liberal, democratic guy but he expects us to accept big failures.

Lol. Just saw these photos again and they brought
back memories. Before I became the blogger you all
know me to be now, I was the MD/CEO of Blackdove
Communications. I ran a modeling agency and
events company. These pics were taken in 2009
inside my office. I gave up on the office in 2010 when I couldn't afford the rent anymore and moved my business back home. About a year later, the blogging I started in 2006, changed my life. Look at me now! Lol

A Nigerian woman, Mrs. Deola Ogunfoworin, and her daughter, Ronke, are presently languishing at an Indian hospital after the family ran out of funds to treat the ailment for which Deola was flown abroad.

PUNCH Metro learnt that 53-year-old Deola, who was diagnosed of diabetes in 1994, and hypertension in 2009, had been flown to the Asian country on October 7, 2014, to undergo a kidney transplant.

In a medical report signed by one Dr. O.A. Kayode of the Kidney Clinics Nigeria Limited, Abeokuta, Ogun State, and obtained by our correspondent, Deola was referred to the Columbia Asia Hospital, Bangalore, India, for renal transplantation on September 25, 2014.

Kayode wrote, “The above named patient is a known chronic kidney disease patient with background type 11 Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension. The patient has, however, opted for renal transplantation at Columbia Asia Hospital, Bangalore, India.

“She is medically fit to travel as no untoward complication is expected from her clinical condition.”

Our correspondent gathered that Deola was accompanied to India by 32-year-old Ronke.

It was learnt that when the woman started the treatment at the Indian hospital, an initial surgery done on her neck, gulped more than N3m, leaving the family helpless to carry on with the rest of the treatment.

Speaking with PUNCH Metro, the husband, Feyi Ogunfoworin, said, “When my wife was referred to India in Spetember last year, we rallied round for support and were able to raise more than N3m, hoping to spend it on the kidney transplant. Unfortunately when they arrived in the country, the hospital discovered a tumor, which needed to be operated, in her neck. The N3m went into the surgery.

“The actual transplant she went for has yet to be carried out. We have exhausted all our resources. Officials at the Indian hospital are hoping to ensure they start the transplant promptly, but we are at the end of the rope. Presently, Deola and Ronke are stranded in India as a result of our inability to pay the bills for my wife’s treatment.”

Our correspondent was told that Deola, as a result of ongoing treatment, could not speak on the telephone from the hospital bed.

In a report on Deola’s health by the Columbia Asia Hospital, signed by an official, Dr. Girish Namaghondlu, a consultant Nephrologist, the hospital confirmed that the woman was the hospital’s patient, adding that her treatment was being delayed due to “significant financial problems.”

He said, “She was presented to us from Nigeria seeking a transplant for end stage kidney disease on haemodialysis with background history of long standing diabetes and hypertension.

“Due to the above named problems, she has had prolonged stay at the hospital, and has been deemed unsuitable to receive a kidney transplant, and hence needs regular ongoing maintenance haemodialysis three times a week.

“I gather that there have been significant financial problems in continuing her treatment and her family is seeking financial aid in Nigeria. I strongly support this on humanitarian grounds.”
