The last time Prof Osinbajo was an acting president, a certain DSS Boss was forming Spartacus, we all know how the rug was immediately pulled underneath his feet!

Dear aggrieved Sowore Paraclete, kindly channel the vibe to the appropriate quarters!

Falana has increasingly become a joke of a lawyer. He is acting like MURIC that his son called out in his song.

Saying NBA should discipline lawyers in Buhari's govt is not only childish but stupid.

What have they done in their professional capacity to deserve a discipline?

Nigerians are largely uneducated, walahi...

DSS rearrests Sowore and you are insulting Osinbajo, for what?

Is he DSS DG? Is he DSS spokesman?

Have you heard Mike Pence speak against the actions or inactions of FBI or CIA?

Why are we so ignorant? Does DSS answer to him?��‍♂️��‍♂️��‍♂️

When some ignorant people are calling Osinbajo to act on the shameful act from DSS yesterday, I have no choice but to remind them of what he did as Acting President when Lawal Daura was misbehaving
Politics › Re: Sowore: Falana Tells NBA To Discipline Osinbajo, Other Lawyers In Cabinet by murecool(m): 9:08am On Dec 07, 2019
DSS made one gaffe under Osinbajo as acting President and immediately Lawal Daura was sacked.

Now, VP is VP. Not President, not acting President.

Don't be unfortunate to insult him because it shows your level of ignorance and stupidity.

Politics › Osinbajo Urges Investors To Copy Startups Can-do Spirit by murecool(op): 9:16pm On Dec 03, 2019
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says private sector investors and chief executives to copy the can-do spirit of young Nigerian entrepreneurs.

Nigerian Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has urged private sector investors and chief executives to copy the can-do spirit of young Nigerian entrepreneurs who have recently been acclaimed in different sectors.
Speaking at the CEO Forum organised by Businessday in Lagos today, the Vice President said the exploits of Nigerian entrepreneurs such as Temi Giwa-Tubosun, Silas Adekunle, Kenneth Obiajulu-Okonkwo and Jelani Aliyu, epitomised the desire of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to inspire and enable local talents.
Osinbajo, who was represented at the event by the Senior Special Assistant (technical) to the President, Mr. Louis Odion, said the Buhari administration was committed to providing the enabling environment for businesses.
He said, “Some of the investments in infrastructure are already yielding tangible results. For instance, the Lagos-Ibadan railway is now complete and available for public use.
By conceiving and executing this strategic railway project, we hope to decongest the heavy vehicular traffic on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway which is also under reconstruction as I speak.”
The Vice President said investments in renewing the country’s infrastructure were countrywide, adding that the administration had invested over N3.5trn in infrastructure across the country in the last three years, the highest in the country’s history.
He urged CEOs to see temporary challenges as opportunities to challenge existing mode of thinking, saying that he was confident that the country’s future was bright.
The Vice President said though some criticised the decision of the government foreign loans, the loans were for investment in infrastructure, and not for consumption as was the case in the past.

Politics › Nations Are Built By The Sacrifices, Hardwork Of Leaders, Says Osinbajo by murecool(op): 8:42pm On Nov 29, 2019
REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY, PROF. YEMI OSINBAJO, SAN, GCON, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE NIGERIAN SUPREME COUNCIL FOR ISLAMIC AFFAIRS ON THE 29TH OF NOVEMBER, 2019

PROTOCOLS

It is a great honour to be here at this opening ceremony of the General Assembly of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs. This Council is of particular importance to us as a nation because it not only promotes solidarity among Nigeria’s Muslims, but also serves as an important intermediary between government and the Muslim community and between Muslims and persons of other faiths.

As the highest decision-making body of the Council, I offer to you this morning, both a commendation and a challenge.

First, the commendation to you for the great leadership you have shown in galvanizing the Muslim community in Nigeria despite denominational differences. But also, for making the Council available for the promotion of interfaith peace, and religious tolerance in Nigeria.

The challenge stems from the theme of this meeting which is “Islam and National Development.” Permit me to put the topic in context so that we do not miss the essence of the topic. So, I recast the theme to read as follows quote, “The Role of Islam in the Development of a Multi-religious and Multi-ethnic Nation.” This is the gravamen of the matter and I believe my brother, Isa Pantami (Honourable Minister of Communications and Digital Economy who delivered the keynote address) did an excellent job.

Decades ago in this same country, it would not have been a major topic. Leaders in the first republic did not consider religious intolerance as a major national issue, they were more concerned about the issues that touched everyone regardless of religion or ethnicity; they were concerned about providing food, shelter, education and decent livelihoods. But today, no true leader can ignore the threat that religious bigotry and intolerance poses for the development of our nation. That is just the way it is.

But it is my respectful view that the burden of ensuring that faith promotes national development as opposed to impeding it is on leaders. This is the challenge I pose to you today.

A few months ago, at an interfaith gathering, I told the story of an occurrence on the 20th of June 2018. Christians in their village Nshar Yelwa, Plateau State were attacked by a horde of persons who were said to be Muslims, who had attacked other villages and had killed several Berom farmers who were mainly Christians. As Imam Abdullahi was finishing mid-day prayers, he and his congregation heard gunshots and went outside to see members of the village’s Christian community running helter-skelter. Instinctively, the Imam ushered 262 Christians into the mosque and some into his home next to the mosque. The Imam then went outside to confront the gunmen. He refused to allow them to enter, pleading with them to spare the Christians inside the mosque and his home. When the assailants were adamant, he told them that they would have to kill him first if they were going to kill the Christians, he had given refuge. They eventually left without killing any of the Christians in the mosque or in his home. Imam Abdullahi’s selflessness and sacrifice saved the lives of hundreds of people of a faith different from his own.

Imam Abdullahi not only refused to give up the Christians he had given refuge; he even offered his life in exchange for theirs. His moral courage is rooted in a profound recognition of our common humanity. His compassion, empathy and selflessness are an example to us as people of faith.

Jesus Christ told a story somewhat similar to this. Someone had asked Him the question, “how could he attain eternal life?” And Jesus replied by asking him what the law said on the matter. The man responded that the law says “Love God with all your heart and mind and love your neighbour as yourself.” Jesus then said, “Good, you go and obey that law and you will live.” However, the man asked him, “But who is my neighbour?” Jesus then told him a parable which later came to be known as the story of the Good Samaritan.

It is the story of a man who was traveling between Jerusalem and Jericho, and was attacked by thieves. His property was stolen and he was beaten almost to death. As he lay on the road, a certain priest came by, saw him and walked by on the other side of the road. So also, a Levite, came by and walked by on the other side of the road. Then a Samaritan came by, (Samaritans were regarded as unbelievers by the Jews) stopped and took care of the injured man, putting him on his horse and then took him to an Inn, leaving the Inn-keeper money to take care of him until he returned. Jesus then asked the man, “of the three men who saw the injured man who was his neighbour?” The man answered that it was the Samaritan who had compassion on Him. Jesus then said to him go and do likewise.

Jesus said go and behave with love and compassion in the way that the Samaritan did. All leaders, and this is my challenge to you today, need to learn from the simple, but deeply profound actions of the Good Samaritan and Chief Imam Abubakar. Both of them showed great love and compassion. They were not concerned about the race or religion of those whose lives they saved or whose properties were destroyed. All that mattered was that they were flesh and blood like themselves. They were simply ready to make any sacrifice for another human being.

We are at a historic juncture in the existence of our nation. Here and there are religious and tribal tensions. Many are beating the drums of ethnic and religious superiority. Some even seek to divide the nation into ethnic zones. Yet our constitution speaks in the clearest and highest terms of our national commitment to the equality of all Nigerians regardless of ethnicity, religion or status. It speaks of the imperative of all individuals and governments to respect the rights and dignity of every Nigerian. Our constitution speaks of freedom of worship, the liberty to belong to a faith of one’s choice and even change that faith without consequence. But constitutional declarations mean nothing unless there are men and women ready to make the personal sacrifices to bridge the gap between rhetoric and constitutional ideals. Such men and women are not usually very many. But they do not have to be many to make a difference.

Let me add one more story, a few months ago, a leader of a large Christian congregation in a Northern State sought audience with me. I asked him why, he said he wanted to speak to me about the Governor of his State. I assumed it was going to be a complaint because the governor of the State is a Muslim and I thought it might perhaps, be some conflict between Christians and Muslims in the community.

But it wasn’t. He said,” Your Excellency, I think the government should give national honors to those who promote the unity of the country.” He then told me how the Governor of his State had rebuilt several churches that were damaged by religious extremists who described themselves as Muslims. I was shocked first, by the fact that here was the leader of a church, asking that the Government should honour the Governor of his State for doing something that is unprecedented.

Yet there are States where Governors refuse to grant certificates of occupancy for the building of churches or places of religious gathering in outright violation of the constitution they swore to uphold.

Every Sunday, my family and over 100 Christians attend service in the Chapel at the Villa. The Chapel is located in the premises of the President and his family. It is located a few seconds away from the First Lady’s kitchen. Sometimes when I see the President on a Sunday morning, he asks me whether the service is over already or I am escaping from the service! That is the sort of tolerance that we need in a multi-ethnic, multi-religious society and it is the duty of leaders to show that sort of example.

It is the courage of leaders to live up to the ideals of their faith and their sworn commitments that invariably build nations. Leaders must live up to the commitments to which they swear, especially political leaders.

Nations are built by the sacrifices, the hardwork of leaders who do not care even if they are condemned by persons of their own religion or ethnicity, so long as they are confident that they act in obedience to the oaths they swore and to the Almighty God. Such men and women are few, but the profundity of their actions invariably transform communities and nations as they bend the arc of history in the direction of unity, peace and progress.

I have observed for many years the words and actions of his Royal Highness, the Sultan of Sokoto, how he has sought to build bridges with other faiths, locally and internationally, this is as it should be. The challenge of nation building is not the noise of the religious bigots and nihilists, it is the silence and inaction of leaders of different faiths who know better, those who say and do nothing, and to whom we appeal today. Your words and actions may make the difference between peace and tragedy.

The Quran proclaims, “Human beings, we created you all from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may know one another.” (Surah 49:13).

These words are important because they point us in the direction of our diversity, but that diversity is a source of strength, knowledge and unity and our nation at this point, requires men and women who look at our faith, Muslims and Christians who see first brothers and sisters, who see first human beings before we see faith.

It is now my very special pleasure and privilege to declare open this conference.

Thank you very much.

Politics › Osinbajo Advocates Increased State Govts’ Engagement To End Genderbased Violence by murecool(op): 10:37am On Nov 27, 2019
OSINBAJO ADVOCATES INCREASED STATE GOVTS’ ENGAGEMENT TO END GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

In order to deepen advocacy against gender-based violence and strengthen official efforts to prevent it, there is a need to intensify the engagements of State governments across the country.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, stated this today while receiving Mrs. Leymah Gbowee, the Liberian activist who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011 for non-violent struggle, safety and women's rights.

According to him, “driving prosecution for sex offenders is best done at the state level, particularly strengthening the States to do so at the National Economic Council.”

The Vice President emphasized the need for States to exercise political will in order to get the desired results, as well as provide the necessary funding to implement, working together with the private sector.

With respect to the Sex Offenders Register, Prof Osinbajo said “it was something that needed a lot of attention, changing the orientation of men in particular, to understand it’s a campaign that must be championed by men”

Speaking earlier during the visit, Mrs. Gbowee noted the prevalence of rape in and out of conflict zones with impunity across Africa, stating that the successful launch of the sex offenders register in Nigeria is a huge milestone and Nigeria has set the precedence for other African countries to follow.

Mrs. Gbowee who is visiting Nigeria, gave the keynote address at the launch of the sex offenders register organized by the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), yesterday.

Politics › SIP Was Thorough, Professional Under Osinbajo – Prof. Sagay by murecool(op): 10:21am On Nov 27, 2019
Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) says the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) was very thorough and professional under the leadership of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
The Professor of Law noted that the SIP should not have been removed from the Office of the Vice President. He added the decision might slow the progress of the programmes.
Reacting to a question that the role of the Vice President seems to have been whittled, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria said, “The main responsibility that was taken away from the Vice President is the Social Investment Programme which has been taken to the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs”.

He added that, “I was given the impression that some people working on the SIP have been moved to that ministry. I think we should wait and see. My approach to things as shown in my support for Magu is that when things are going well, I don’t like disturbing them.

“The Vice President’s office handled the SIP in an impeccable and successful manner. So, I think removing it from his supervision is a risk because it may slow down things.

“Mrs. Mariam Uwais who was the adviser, did a magnificent job. They were thorough, professional and curbed corruption.
“The school feeding programme and other aspects of the programme went well. Those involved in corruption were brought to book and monies were recovered.

“I personally would have wanted things to continue as it was. But those who have the powers have decided that they want to transfer it to a new ministry. I just hope this new ministry does not fall below the stand,” he said.

Politics › Nigeria Now Needs The Rigour & Discipline To Implement, Says Osinbajo by murecool(op): 9:35am On Nov 24, 2019
NIGERIA NOW NEEDS THE RIGOUR & DISCIPLINE TO IMPLEMENT, SAYS OSINBAJO AT NIPSS GRADUATION
*Policy not the issue but implementation, VP submits

“One thing that we must bear in mind, which is my challenge to NIPSS; the problem of Nigeria has never been a shortage of ideas, there is no policy that has never been thought of, but the problem has always been implementation.

“In my respectful view, NIPSS must graduate from a “think-tank” to “do-tank”, and this is the case. We are at a point in our country where policy is not the issue, but the rigour and discipline that is required to implement is what is needed.

“I want to urge NIPSS, that our subsequent studies must be based on the need to attain some level of understanding of how to implement and get things done. Once we are able to do that, we are on our way.”

Politics › FF KAYODE: IN A FACTORY OF INCOHERENT MISCHIEF AIMED AT ACHIEVING SELFISH GOALS. by murecool(op): 7:36am On Nov 21, 2019
...By Eniola Opeyemi in response to Femi Fani-Kayode's "Today Is Osinbajo's Turn To Be Rubbished, Dumped By The Cabal, It's Tinubu's Turn Tomorrow"

FFK political lineage tracks to people like Bode George and Good luck Jonathan... "Ajègbodò tó n wá eni kúnra" (The guilty one is always looking for an accomplice).

As a youth from Southwest Nigeria, I grew up learning the ethics and values of the land from elders of reputable character who have good intentions for the society. Through this, our societal values have gotten the best recommendations and our tribe is widely acknowledged, arguably, the finest. But FFK has refused to accept proper “home training”.

From the best pedigree, Professor Yemi Osinbajo SAN, has been well groomed and today, he is one of the finest experts known in his field, both in the classroom and the court room. Osinbajo is so grounded in his field that he is an institution all by himself such that groups and individuals eulogize him even before he came on board as the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Then how can you rubbish an established personality who wasn’t known through politics? Besides, he has always exhibited a distinct, flawless and unquestionable character which has stood the test of time over the years?

Reading through Femi Fani Kayode's article, one cannot but come to conclusion that not all ADULT are intelligent.

Egbon is so inconsistent that after he feigned Opposition during Jonathan’s regime, he later took a U-turn and accepted a position under the same government he once ridiculed with gaiety: Need we look further? Perhaps Egbon is idle and expecting the Buhari govt to extend a hand to him? Perhaps in the next generation.

Fani-Kayode, who was the Director of Publicity for ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s presidential campaign organization during the 2015 election, has a N4.9billion fraud case still hanging on his neck.

Bros FFK, one can no longer walk both sides of the street at the same time. In case you have not noticed, the politics of principle has, since 2015, defeated the politics of posturing. If you have any sense of propriety, the least you can do is to retract the Corrupt piece and apologize for this latest bunkum.

Osinbajo has said on countless occasions that there is no rift between himself and the President, but in egbon's figment of EVIL imaginations, he has concocted falsehoods because that is where he benefits.

The Vice-president however knew the enemies and detractors are at work, always seeking to dwarf his statue (like the faceless Cabals) in order to delude the public that they are taller than he is. They seek to divert the gullible from his NOBLE and constructive courses into the barren land of petty and strife and fruitless CONTROVERSY. Yeah, quite a few, like FFK, is taller in height than him, but clueless unlike him.

Femi-Fani Kayode is simply a fascist coward; he cannot ever match the feat of the Ikenne born Senior Advocate of Nigeria. The vice-president has the right character to maintain cordial relationships in government unlike egbon's known Rascal attitude that often tends towards bringing down all relationships.

If Fani-Kayode is right in his disposition, he should show us the evidence. But he has none in existence. He has cooked up stories to get his cock and bull shit-bills paid, perhaps by PDP clueless OPPOSITIONS.

For the umpteenth time, FFK should stop playing the Pig whose favorite activity is dragging others in the mud. For now, he should hold his PEACE until he gets a clean bill from the EFCC.

Politics › We Can No Longer Ignore Poor Sanitation Practices - Osinbajo by murecool(op): 6:57pm On Nov 19, 2019
*VP adds: the costs are too huge

*Ending open defecation in 2025 realisable

*States urged to adopt common sense policy measures

The loss of lives and billions of naira to preventable water and sanitation related diseases as a result of inadequate basic water supply and sanitation services is huge and should be brought to an end by an active collaboration between States and the Federal Government, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.

Prof. Osinbajo stated this in Abuja on Tuesday at the official roll out of the ‘Clean Nigeria: Use the Toilet’ Campaign under the National programme to End Open Defecation in Nigeria.

At the event attended by several governors and their representatives, ministers and market women, amongst others, the Vice President said, “…we all must redouble our efforts and work together in order to meet the nation’s Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene needs.”
“As a Nation we simply cannot afford the huge costs including fatalities caused by preventable water and sanitation related diseases as a result of inadequate WASH services. In contributing to the government’s efforts, citizens must take action to avoid open defecation.

“There is no need to debate the point that sanitation is a major public health issue and that poor sanitation adversely impacts us all. The World Bank report on the economic impact of poor sanitation due to use of unsanitary or shared toilets and open defecation, estimates that Nigeria loses N455 billion annually, with open defecation accounting for a third of this amount. These costs include health care, loss of productivity, premature deaths, poor educational outcomes, among others.

“But perhaps some of the more dire costs of open defecation are those that cannot be quantified in monetary terms, the social costs, loss of dignity, lack of privacy and increased vulnerability to physical attacks and violence especially for women and girls,” the Vice President added.

Speaking further about the commitment of the Federal Government in addressing the menace the Vice President said the goal of putting an end to open defecation in Nigeria is a shared responsibility.

According to him, “Although we all know that the primary responsibility for provision of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Services lie with the States and Local Government Areas, the Federal Government remains committed to supporting the States initiatives aimed at improving access to these services for the populace.

“To this end, States and the Federal Capital Territory should consider common sense policy measures such as ensuring that construction sites are equipped with toilet facilities.

“Property development control regulators can also make it mandatory for buildings to include external toilet facilities for staff such as security guards. These and other such measures will reduce the incidence of public defecation.

“As the President said during the launch of the National Action Plan last year, Federal Government’s support to States will be based on their commitment to implement the National WASH Action Plan in their respective states and to end open defecation by 2025. It is our expectation that this national launch will trigger State and LGA level launches leading to mass mobilization of all Nigerians.”

Speaking further, the Vice President said the Federal Government’s support to States will however be dependent on the efforts and shown by States in implementing their action plans for the WASH sector.

On the measures initiated to by the Federal Government to boost Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) across the country, the Vice President said, “this administration has consistently affirmed its commitment to the development of the WASH sector in Nigeria.”

According to him, “the launch of the National Action Plan for the revitalization of the WASH sector and the declaration of a State of Emergency by the President last year was among the many initiatives of Government in addressing the challenges confronting the sector.

“The National Action Plan is phased into Emergency, Recovery and Revitalization stages”.

The first and current phase, he said, “is the emergency phase of the Action Plan. In the emergency stage, it is our desire to aggressively mobilize the entire country towards ending the practice of open defecation”.

Earlier in his remark, the Minister of Water Resources, Alhaji Suleiman Adamu commended the collaboration with State governors and development partners in Nigeria’s quest to end open defecation by 2025.

He reiterated the Federal Government’s commitment to actualize the target of ending open defecation across the country by 2025.

Politics › Nigerians Mock Festus Adedayo For Lies, Falsehood Against Osinbajo by murecool(op): 9:08am On Nov 15, 2019
Nigerians on social media have called out journalist and columnist, Mr. Festus Adedayo for making a mockery of himself by allegedly peddling outright lies and falsehood.

Most of them who aired their opinion via Twitter described Mr. Adedayo’s act as shameful and disgraceful, particularly because he has not been able to answer questions posed to him.

Mr. Adedayo had in an article titled, ‘The Trials of Brother Osinbajo’, claimed that the Vice President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo had prayed that his boss, President Muhammadu Buhari died during his sick leave in the UK.

Reacting to the article, Mr Nsikan Nkordeh wrote on Twitter, “Dr. Festus Adedayo is a disgrace. Why fabricating lies to put a wedge between Osibanjo and the tyrant. Really shameful.”

Another Twitter user, Tunde believes that Mr Adedayo has been compromised. “Mr Akande know for free that dubious characters like Festus Adedayo will not answer your questions; not because he won’t see it but because he is someone who wants to fan the fire just to gain cheap popularity, and I bet he’s a man who has sold his soul for money.”

Kemisola Adekunle demanded that Mr Adedayo upholds the ethics of journalism and answer the questions he was asked. “Festus Adedayo, be sensible enough to answer Laolu’s questions and stop beating about the bush to further accentuate your drowned dignity/integrity.”

Prince Nuhu Momoh was of the opinion that Mr Adedayo might not be feeling well. He tweeted this, “You can be taking it as a joke, but please go and check yourself because that is how it will start, taking someone’s matter to heart can cause blood pressure.

Tise Somide had more harsh words for Mr Adedayo. “Festus Adedayo is a crook and no one clearly believes his lies about the VP. This consistent fake news against the VP shows he’s a great man indeed. Despite efforts to bring him down, he will forever be at the top.”

As at the time of filing this report, Mr Adedayo was yet to respond to the questions raised by Mr Laolu Akande, the spokesperson to the Vice President.

Mr Akande has asked Mr Adedayo some pertinent questions. “He claimed that the Vice President, together with some Redeemed Church ‘accomplices’, gathered to pray at some place unstated in his home State of Ogun, at a date that was not indicated, for the purpose of interceding for the VP to become President, and by extension, hoping for, or seeking the death of the President.

“So where exactly in Ogun State did this prayer session took place, and when? Was it in a church, in which case there would likely be an audio recording? Who are the prominent pastors or other persons involved that can testify to what transpired – what are their names? Who is the “strong Buhari ally” who made a surprise appearance at the gathering and brought the story back to Mr. President? If, as Adedayo claims, the VP has been hounding and haranguing this Buhari ally since then, why is it so difficult for him to cry out and publicize his strange discovery? those were the questions posed to Mr Adedayo.

Politics › Twitter Users Slams Reno Omokri For Lying Against Osinbajo by murecool(op): 5:56pm On Nov 13, 2019
Earlier today, the former SA to Goodluck Jonathan in his usual way lied that VP Yemi Osinbajo was avoiding eye contact with Goodluck Jonathan. He accompanied his story with a photo of the VP looking elsewhere (acknowledging greeting elsewhere).

This drew the attention of many Twitter user who busted his lies by saying Goodluck Jonathan was only admiring Prof Osinbajo.

A twitter user also posted another photo from the even showing both of them having eye contacts.

This tweet of Reno Omokri who is known for identity theft is one of the many lies he is known for.
