Just before midnight while most Nigerians slept, presidential spokesman, Reuben Abati, took took to social networking site, Twitter, where he posted photos of Pres. Goodluck Jonathan reading a book, “Topics in West African History” by Abu Boahen. Abati
posted the photos using the hashtag
– #PresidentialReadingTime, saying
“Pres. Jonathan was perusing the
book…”. It created the appearance of
a president squeezing time out of his
busy schedule at night to read
because – as they say – readers are
leaders.

So first, here are four of the eight
photos shared by Abati.

I have to say that I'm nonpartisan and I'm not a fan of GEJ but the bashing he gets on a daily basis on NL and all other social media is VERY embarrassing to Nigeria and Nigerians in general.

With all due respect to Prof. Oyebode, you haven't done yourself any good for bashing a fellow professor as you, I can assume that you are also an embarrassment to Phd holders with this utterances of yours. What you just pour out is least expected from a so called professor.

In conclusion, been a professor doesn't make one a good administrator, so get a grip professor Oyebad *Oyebode!




Note: I expect some paid cyber rants to criticize my humble opinion.

You may be right. See attached copy of the scanned letter.

stinggy:
Yea...
But you need to read the full letter he wrote to get a deep understanding. It was on punch 2days ago.
The deputy is aligning with Osoba and Amosun is really punishing him - official residence, salaries & allowances, even PHCN cut off supply to his quarters.
Kaii Amosun na bad man oo... why not jist incite the house against him and get him impeached instead of all this?
If I were the man though, I would have resigned

By Daud Olatunji

ABEOKUTA—Ogun State Deputy
Governor, Prince Segun Adesegun
yesterday, insisted that the national
leadership of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, was aware of the ill
treatment he is subjected to by
Governor Ibikunle Amosun.
Adesegun who spoke on the telephone,
described the content of his letter that
chronicled Amosun’s alleged
maltreatment against him as a tip of the
iceberg.

Adesegun while reacting to a claim by
National Publicity Secretary of the
party, Lai Mohammed that the party
was not aware of the content of his
letter, said the party knew he was being
maltreated but might not know the
depth of his challenges.

He said: “He (Lai Muhammed) is my
friend, whatever he says, I will accept. If
he says I didn’t send the letter to the
national leadership of the party, I will
accept.

“The letter was meant for the governor
and I copied all members of the Ogun
State House of Assembly, copied the
three Senators, seven members of the
House of Representatives, our leader,
Chief Olusegun Osoba and Alhaji
Tajudeen Bello, former State Interim
Chairman of the All Progressives
Congress, APC. I copied the state
chairman, Alhaji Roqeeb Adeniji, Chief
Olu Agemo and Alhaji Abimbola
Awofeso and other leaders of the party.

“Three of them were in my house when
we accepted Amosun into our party. I
was the deputy national Treasurer of the
defunct Action Congress of Nigeria and
also the Youth Leader under Chief Bisi
Akande’s leadership.

“I didn’t copy the national leadership of
the party because there is nothing in the
letter that the national leadership did
not know about. They may not know the
depth but they can’t claim ignorance of
the way I am being treated by the
governor.

“If I knew that the letter would get to
the press, I would have revealed more.”

Adesegun had written a 10-paragraph
letter dated October 24, 2014 to the
governor where he accused among
other things, of starving his office of
funds and allocating old vehicles for his
use.

He claimed that the governor had failed
to deliver on his promise that he would
enjoy his tenure as the deputy governor
during electioneering in 2011 under the
defunct Action Congress of Nigeria.

I barely criticize on NL and I often direct people who castigate to my signature.

@OP, this is an interesting thread, I have seen some signature that make reflective, nostalgic, amazed, laugh e.t.c. . A lot!

where is your source

The source is the first thing you will see if you actually read. #readbeforecomment

Barely 12 years after he sang the song 'Nigeria jaga-jaga', top Nigeria crooner Eidris Abdulkarim in an interview with Vanguard Newspaper said Nigeria is no more 'Jaga Jaga' while he express delight and confidence in the present GEJ administration.

It should be recalled that the song attracted a public outburst from the then president Olusegun Obasanjo.

***Read the interview***

*Since your last album it seems you
haven’t been active. What’s with you?

Basically because my kind of music talks
about ills in the society, and it needs
research which takes time, to know
what is going on, evaluate the present
government, then compare and contrast
with the past governments. I must tell
you that for the first time I’m very
positive about this government. In three
years, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has
been able to show Nigerians that there
actually could be development.

Refurbishing of airports

Our airports are being refurbished. See
our road from Lagos to Ore which has
been there for fifteen years — he has
done it. Now it’s three hours from Lagos
to Benin. Also the Lagos-Ibadan road
has also been there for years and Dr
Jonathan is doing it.

I am positive about this government and
it is my responsibility to use music as a
platform to promote what he has done.
NITDA is implementing the
Transformation Agenda by adding
values to the lives of our children,
making sure there are a resource
centres everywhere in the community
and it is a beautiful thing. I’m really
happy with the experience.

*So, Nigeria is no more “jaga-jaga?”

No, no no! Twelve years ago Nigeria
was jaga-jaga, but now Nigeria is no
more jaga jaga, even though we know
that the insecurity happening in Nigeria
is propaganda against government, but
Dr. Jonathan is doing his best and is
trying.

*Amodu appeals to NFF to reconsider
his return

By Olawale Ajimotokan

Coach Stephen Keshi has revealed that
he was yet to make up his mind whether
to return as the Super Eagles coach.
Keshi’s reinstatement was sanctioned by
President Goodluck Jonathan as part of
the measures by government to resolve
the crisis which has disrupted the
effective running of Nigerian football.
The coach who led Nigeria to victory at
the last Africa Cup of Nations in 2013
was on October 15 relieved of the
Eagles job by the NFF board owing to
the shaky performance of the national
team in the qualifying race to Morocco
2015.

But after a meeting with Sports
Minister, Tammy Danagogo, in his office
yesterday morning, Keshi told reporters
he still need to take a long reflection on
the presidential directive before
deciding to take a plunge with the
national team.
“It is a very, very difficult decision. I am
not sure I would say ‘no’ for now or ‘yes’
to the order. I still have to think about it
because we all want peace. I want a
settled mind before making the
decision. I don’t have issues with
anybody because life is too short. This is
my country. I am always willing to offer
my service. If I desperately wanted a
contract, I would have opted for the
offer made by Equatorial Guinea
because the offer they made was bigger
than what Nigeria offered. But this is
my country and I want to serve it,” said
Keshi.

He has not succeeded in tying down an
offer since he left the Eagles post.
Instead, he has been speculated to be on
the radar of Ethiopia and of late Ghana.
Both countries have since denied
making any overture to the reigning
African coach of the year.

Also yesterday, interim Head Coach of
the senior national team, Coach Shaibu
Amodu, pleaded passionately with the
leadership of the Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF) to allow Keshi return
to his post to lead Eagles in the two
remaining matches of the 2015 Africa
Cup of Nations qualifiers.

In a letter dated 27th October, 2014 and
addressed to NFF President, Amaju
Pinnick, through the chairman of NFF
Technical Committee, the 56 –year old
tactician who was named as new head
coach penultimate week, said he wanted
Keshi reconsidered for the two matches
as the time –frame was too short to
tinker with the fabric of the squad or
start to build a new one altogether.

“Following wide consultations that I
have carefully made within the past two
weeks since the appointment, and for
the sake of professionalism, I want to
specially appeal to you to reconsider the
matter and allow Stephen Keshi to finish
the project that he has started – the
2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying
race.
“Sir, my opinion also is that the time –
frame is too short to start tinkering with
the fabric of the team or attempt to
build a new team altogether.

“As Technical Director of the NFF, I am
ready and willing to help build a better
relationship among Keshi (with whom I
have enjoyed good working relationship
in the past and who is still very close to
me), the players and the NFF Technical
Committee.

“I am assuring you, Mr. President, that
I will offer whatever assistance required
by Keshi and his crew for the remaining
two matches, and also be there to offer
advice, suggestions and efforts towards
building a stronger Super Eagles’ team
after the qualifying race,” observed the
former Orlando Pirates of South Africa
gaffer.

Nigeria plays Congo Brazzaville in
Pointe Noire on November 15 before
taking on South Africa in Uyo four days
later, needing to not only win both
matches but defeat Congo by a margin
of two goals away, to stand any chance
of qualifying for the 2015 finals.

I am a Muslim girl in her mid-twenties, who hasn't been opportuned to date a fellow muslim guy all her life. I don't like covering my head (I prefer hanging the scarf around my neck incase of solaat. not that am a bad girl but I wasn't brought up like that, though I observe my prayers. Could not covering my head be the hindrance to meeting muslim guys? It always got me thinking, or is there something I need to adjust to in this aspect. I really need answers because I wish to marry someone from my religion.

We've been singing for a while, only if you take note. The youth pick knowledge from our song and the elders pick from it to advice. When people are having conversation, they will say go and listen to Osupa, he sings a lot.

OCTOBER 28, 2014 BY NAN


A Federal High Court in Lagos on
Tuesday adjourned till November 11 the
trial of ex-Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode,
who is standing trial for alleged money
laundering.

Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of
Aviation, is being tried for an amended
40 counts bordering on money
laundering by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports
that the suit, which was earlier fixed for
the hearing of addresses of counsel, on
Tuesday suffered another adjournment.
No reason was, however, given for the
adjournment.
The court’s registrars only informed
parties that the suit had been scheduled
for a further date.
NAN also reports that the EFCC had
opened its case on March 10.

It called a total of six witnesses
including Investigating Police Officers,
bank legal officer, relationship officer
and a former aide to Fani-Kayode.
All witnesses had given testimonies as to
their relationship with the accused as
well as the manner of investigations
conducted on him.

The EFCC closed its case on July 10,
while counsel for the accused, Mr Wale
Akoni (SAN), informed the court of his
intention to file an application for a no-
case submission on behalf of the
accused.

The judge had adjourned the case to
take addresses from counsel.
Fani-Kayode was first arraigned
sometime in December 2008 before
Justice Ramat Mohammed on 47 counts.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge and
Justice Mohammed granted him bail in
the sum of N200m with two sureties in
like sum.

He was re-arraigned before Justice
Binta Murtala-Nyako following the
transfer of Mohammed from the Lagos
Division.

The accused was again re-arraigned
before Justice Ajumogobia on Feb. 11,
2013 after the transfer of Murtala-
Nyako.

On March 6, he was re-arraigned before
Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia following
the amendment of the 47 counts to 40
counts with the EFCC dropping seven of
the counts.

Ajumogobia is the third judge to handle
the case in the last five years.
In the charge, the accused was alleged
to have carried out transactions with
funds exceeding N500, 000 without
going through a financial institution.
