Akpan107:
The topic wasn't about what you're talking about. its about apc and PDP. you don't need anyone to tell you the apc is disaster.

It took PDP 16 years to make a dollar = N197,but it took APC just 1 year to make a dollar N400.

It took PDP 16 years to destroy Nigeria, but ittook APC just 1 year to massacre, dismantle, kill and buryNigeria.

It took PDP 16 years to make fuelprice N87 per litre, but it took APC 1yr to make fuel N145 per litre.

It took PDP 16 years to make Nigeria corrupt,but it took APC just 1 year to make Nigeria Fantastically corrupt.

It took PDP 16 years to keep the price of rice at N7,000 per bag,but took APC 1 year to project it to N18,000 per bag.

It took Jonathan 5yrsto travel to 15 countries,but it took Pa Buhari 1 year to travel to 30 countries.

It took PDP 16years to apply resounding economic policies that made banks grow, buttook APC 1 year to apply policies which madebanks to sack more staff.

The worst administration of PDP is far better than the best of APC!

You can see why i said apc is a disaster, forget about my moniker.

Beremx:
John Oyegun and his fellow clueless party knew what that PDP failed Nigerians for 16years and their mission was to rescue Nigeria from the mess PDP has created. So why are they complaining and keep blaming Jonathan and PDP after more than a year in office? Didn't they know what they would face when they took over the government?

2019 should come fast abeg!

Nonsense and Ingredients!!

In a desperate bid to convince Nigerians on who is better suited to run the country, the ruling All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party clashed on Monday over the lingering economic crisis in the country.
The latest squabble began last week with the two parties stepping up attacks over who to blame for an economic crisis that has seen escalating inflation and a shrinking naira, in the face of low crude prices.
With more Nigerians apparently struggling to eke out a living amidst sparse economic activities, social scientists and religious leaders have expressed concerns about the dangers of leaving the country’s expanding youth population without means of livelihood for too long.
Within the past week, the leadership of the APC had pushed out statements to condemn the PDP whose “disastrous 16-year rule” the ruling party said was largely to blame for the prevailing distress.
The party’s chairman, John Oyegun, demanded the PDP should stop criticising the Muhammadu Buhari administration, saying the party should, instead, show remorse for its past.
“It was stomach-churning and downright immoral for the ruinous PDP, which has yet to show remorse or exhibit any form of penitence for presiding over the mindless looting of the nation’s treasury, to now put itself up as the saviour of Nigerians,” Mr. Oyegun said.
“Due to PDP’s perfidy, our country’s resources were stolen and opportunities frittered away. But instead of being contrite, the PDP is arrogantly putting itself up as the alternative to a government that is barely one year in office and has inherited a totally ruined economy. This is brazenly irresponsible.”
The PDP hit back, asking Mr. Oyegun to focus his energy on advising the President Muhammadu Buhari “on how to reverse the recession he has brought on us”.


In a statement signed by its director of new media, Deji Adeyanju, the PDP said it had the constitutional rights to comment about issues of national importance and reeled out figures about the state of the economy before it left office last May.
“Number one destination for foreign investment in Nigeria with $395 million in investments in the first quarter of 2015 alone. Inflation at single digit interest rates for several years. A GDP that had grown at an average of 8% per annum in the last 10 years. A telecoms sector that has received more than $32 billion in investment since 2001. The largest economy in African valued at over $500 billion. A stock market valued at N11.66 trillion,” Mr. Adeyanju said.
Mr. Adeyanju also slammed the APC for allegedly failing to tackle corruption within the confines of the law.
“In the past year, the APC led FG has detained and publicly accused Col. Sambo Dasuki and members of our party for corruption. We find it surprising that the FG is asking for secret trials for the accused persons. We urge the FG to try them openly and in respect for the rule of law,” he said.
Mr. Oyegun, however, said he was unfazed about the economic indices quoted by the PDP, saying Nigerians did not feel the impact of the positive figures throughout the party’s grip on power.
“It is immoral, insensitive, unconscionable and unacceptable for the PDP to hire spin doctors to reel out some figures of GDP growth in their time that never impacted positively on the Nigerian people,” Mr. Oyegun said. “Our advice to the party chieftains is that the time is now for them to look Nigerians in the eye and say, ‘we are sorry’.”

SCREEN SHOT THIS COMMENT - I HAVE IT ON GOOD AUTHORITY THAT THE "GIRLS WILL BE RESCUED SOONEST" the girls rescued initially was to test and calm public opinion, this is all but SCAM!!!!

(CNN)On a typical world map, Canada is a vast nation.

Home to six time zones, its endless plains spread from ocean to ocean, dominating great swathes of the northern half of the globe.
But, in reality, three Canadas would comfortably fit inside Africa.
Our world map is wildly misleading.
It's all down to the European cartographer Geert de Kremer, better known as Mercator, and his 16th century map projection.
Read More
While a convenient way to chart the world, the map distorts the true size of countries.

"Somehow this map projection came to be used on most world maps, especially those produced for classrooms since the beginning of the 1900s," says Menno-Jan Kraak, president of the International Cartographic Association and professor of cartography at the University of Twente, Netherlands.
"Most of us have grown up with this world image."
Made for captains


The 1569 Mercator projection was made for navigating the seas -- drawing the meridians and parallels as straight lines that cross at right angles helped sailors to navigate some of the their first treacherous voyages around the world.
Mercator initially made globes. Later transferring his map from a three-dimensional curved surface to a flat sheet of paper was problematic. Taking the equator as the logical map center left big, confusing gaps near the poles.
Mercator's solution was to stretch out the northern and southern extremities of the globe to fill those gaps, producing an elegant and usable map.
While a revolutionary tool for captains and explorers, the projection distorts the relative size of the continents, to the advantage of the West.
The repercussions of this are still being felt today.
A map made by Europe for Europe

On the Mercator map, Africa -- sitting on the equator, reasonably undistorted -- is left looking much smaller than it really is.
But Canada, Russia, the United States and Europe are greatly enlarged.
The distortion is largest near the poles: Greenland, which looks about the same size as the whole of Africa on the Mercator, is a classic example. In truth, it is no bigger than the Democratic Republic of Congo.

That European and North American countries are enlarged is no accident. This system provided more space for Western cartographers to mark towns, cities, roads etc in their part of the world, Kraak says.
"If you would take a map projection with equal areas then there is almost no space on the map to display all [these details]."
There was, of course, much to map in Africa, too, but that mattered less to the cartographers up north, he adds.
A political tool?

One of the dangers of the Mercator map is that it can make enlarged countries seem unnaturally powerful and intimidating.
"The term 'power of representation and representation of power' sums up quite well how maps and the rise of the Western nation-state system -- and with that, empire and colonialism -- are linked," says Marianne Franklin, professor of Global Media and Politics at Goldsmiths, University of London.

Was subsequent European imperialism perhaps spurred on by a map projection that reinforced the notions of self-importance held by those nations?
"The world maps that prevail today have been embedded in Western imaginations since the British empire. They continue (to prevail) despite many challenges to their fairness and accuracy because they underpin the ongoing Anglo-Euro-American presumption that the world belongs to them, and pivots around these geo-cultural axes," Franklin says.
In more recent times, maps have been used for propaganda, adds Kraak.
Take Russia, for example.
"If you take the Mercator projection, where Russia looks huge, give it a bright red color and then compare it to the rest of Europe, you see how dangerous it can look," says Kraak.
No perfect map


Chart of the world as per Mercator's projection, circa 1798, with the most recent discoveries.
Sadly, there is no such thing as a perfect map. Because the earth is a sphere -- more of a potato-shape, in fact -- it is impossible to map it on a flat surface without errors in proportion, explains Kraak.
Some schools have begun to use a number of alternative projections. In the US and Germany, for example, maps based on the so-called Winkel Tripel projection, which has a smaller skewness, started to replace the Mercator from the 1920s until the 1980s.
But it has never achieved the dominance of the Mercator.
A digital boost

The digital revolution has further strengthened the Mercator's dominance.
Today the Mercator projection is being used as a template at Google Maps, OpenStreetMap and Bing, says Kraak.
From guiding 16th century explorers on the high seas to helping people find Pokemons on their smartphones, Mercator's work continues to influence how people see the world centuries after his death.

even all his appointments dey get K-leg!! smh

By Dayo Adesulu The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU has kicked against the appointment of former Vice Chancellor of University of Ilorin, Professor Ishaq Oloyede as JAMB Registrar, calling for his probe. It added that his era as Vice Chancellor was characterized with anti-democratic and anti-union antecedents. ASUU President, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi while addressing journalists in Lagos said: “Given our inside knowledge of his anti-democratic and anti-union antecedents antecedents, Professor Oloyede is the last person that we expected to be so honoured with a national appointment of that status in the education sector.” According to him, Oloyede ‘s anti-workers stance stood out in the case of the sacked UNILORIN 49, adding, “he led the Administration’ s team to as far as Lagos to testify falsely against the workers before the Industrial Arbitration Panel.” He said that when academic staff were reinstated in 2009 by the Supreme Court, Oloyede, as VC then refused to fully implement the orders of the Court. Ogunyemi pointed out that in 2008, Oloyede as VC said that UNILORIN is happy without ASUU, while at the same time collecting money from UNILORIN academics in the name of ASUU without remitting same to the Union. Ogunyemi who accused Oloyede of nepotism said: “As VC of UNILORIN, the system was manipulated to emotional his son and daughter and within weeks, gave them awards for overseas training despite explicit regulations against the practice.” He also said that in May 2012, Professor Oloyede as VC, suddenly doubled the amount of pension being deducted from UNILORIN staff under the pretext that the deductions were not enough, adding that this was in contravention of the Pension Reform Act which prescribed 7,5 per cent. The ASUU President said: “The above represent some of the reasons why the Union is appalled that Oloyede as being offered an appointment to head the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.” The Union has resolved to lodge an official complaint with the appropriate authorities and to demand a full fledged investigation into the activities of Oloyede while in office as VC of UNILORIN. ”

Majority of the 38 officers compulsorily retired by the Nigerian Army two months ago were sent away without recourse to the military rules of disengagement,” PREMIUM TIMES can authoritatively report today.
The army had in June announced the compulsory retirement of 38 officers on different ranks on the grounds of alleged professional misconduct during the 2015 general elections, as well as involvement in the $2.1 billion arms procurement scandal.
The affected officers include Major-Generals F. O. Alli, E.J. Atewe, I. N. Ijoma, L. C. Ilo, TC Ude, Letam Wiwa, SD Aliyu, M.Y Ibrahim, LC Ilo and O. Ejemai.
Others were Brigadier-Generals D. M. Onoyeiveta, A. S. O. Mormoni Bashir, A.S.H Sa’ad, A. I. Onibasa, D. Abdusalam, L.M. Bello, KA Essien, B. A. Fiboinumama and I. M. Lawson.
Also affected were Cols. I. O. Ahhachi, P. E. Ekpenyong, T. T. Minimah, O. U. Nwonkwo, and F. D. Kayode, Lt-Cols C. O. Amadi, K. O. Adimogha, T. E. Arigbe, O. A. Baba Ochankpa, D. B. Dazang, O. C. Egemole, Enemchukwu, A. Mohammed, A. S. Mohammed, G. C. Nyekwu, T. O. Oladintoye, C. K. Ukoha and Major A. T. Williams.
In the June 9 letters, seen by PREMIUM TIMES, to the affected officers, their compulsory retirement was hinged on “provisions of Paragraph 09.02c (4) of the Harmonised Terms and Conditions of Service for Officers 2012 (Revised)”.
The referenced section – 09.02c (4) – of the Harmonised Terms and Conditions of Service for Officers 2012 (Revised), shows the officers were laid off “on disciplinary grounds i.e. serious offence(s)”.
Emphasizing “service exigencies” and that the “military must remain apolitical and professional at all times”, Army spokesperson, Sani Usman, a colonel,on June 10, released a statement, disclosing what could have constituted the “serious offences” which warranted the 38 officers to be compulsorily retired.


“It should be recalled that not too long ago some officers were investigated for being partisan during the 2015 general elections,” the statement said.
“Similarly, the investigation by the Presidential Committee investigating Defence Contracts revealed a lot. Some officers have already been arraigned in court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC),” Colonel Usman said.
Although, some of the officers, who were shocked by their sudden retirement, had alleged ethnic cleansing, the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, said the army embarked upon the exercise to remove those “who in one way or the other jeopardized the fight against insurgency and other issues bordering on national security.”
He also said that there was no better time to send the officers away than the time they were retired.
But PREMIUM TIMES investigations revealed that the Army breached its own rule by retiring most of the officers without query or indictment by any panel, thereby raising question of arbitrariness.
However, contrary to the claim by the Army, our investigations showed that only a few of the affected officers were queried, tried and indicted.
Others had their careers abruptly cut short for reasons that smacks of high-level arbitrariness, pettiness, witch-hunting and partisanship by authorities of the Army.
While officers cleared by either arms procurement panel or election panel were retired, others who were not questioned at all were also sent away.
Our findings revealed that nine officers, holding the rank of Major General, 11 Brigadier Generals, seven Colonels and 11 Lieutenant Colonels, amounting to 38 officers in sum, were laid off.
Highly placed sources in the Army told PREMIUM TIMES that out of the Major Generals, only one – E.D. Atewe (N/7674) faced a panel and was indicted. Mr. Atewe was indicted by the presidential arms probe panel, and he is currently being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Although S.D. Aliyu (N/7711); M.Y. Aliyu (N/8114) GOC 7 Division; Fatai Alli, (N/7914) a former Director of Operations in the Army, also faced presidential arms panel but they were cleared. Yet they were laid off for “serious offence”, our investigations revealed.
Other five Major Generals – L. Wiwa (N/7665), who is late Ken Saro-Wiwa’s brother; I.N. Ijeoma (N/8304); T.C Ude (N/7866); L.C. Ilo (N/8320); O. Ejemau (N/8340) were neither queried nor indicted by any panel.
On June 9, they received letters via emails, directing them to proceed on compulsory retirement.
Brigadier Generals had to go because of their loyalties


The cases of the affected Brigadier Generals are not different; only one of them – A.I Onibasa (N/9072) was indicted by the presidential panel on arms procurement.
Sources told PREMIUM TIMES that the remaining 10 officers were simply retirement because they were suspected to be have failed to help this regime to power.
For instance, two officers were laid off because of their ties to the embattled former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, our sources said.
The two officers – A.S.H. Sa’ad (N/8392), who was at the Directorate of Military Intelligence; and Mormoni Bashir (N/8396), former principal staff officer to Mr. Dasuki – were retired without indictment. Although, Mr. Sa’ad faced a panel, he was not found to have engaged in any wrongdoing.
For his alleged close ties to a former Army Chief, Kenneth Minimah, D. Abdulsalam (N/9169) was sent away.
Koko Essien (N/8794), a former Brigade Commander, 2 Brigade, Port Harcourt, faced the election panel but was cleared. Mr. Essien was laid off nonetheless, like Bright Fibioinumana (N/8399); L.N. Bello (N/8799), former Brigade Commander, 34 Brigade Owerri; and M.G. Alli Moundhey, former Director, Campaign Planning in the North East Operations, who were even not queried in the first place.
Although, the Nigerian Army said the affected officers were retired for either involvement in the 2015 general elections or arms procurement fraud, our investigations showed that officers who were not in Nigeria at the time of the elections were also sacked.
That was the case of I.B. Lawson (N/8812) and G.O. Agachi (N/9363) who were Defence Attaches at Nigeria’s missions in China and Benin Republic respectively.
According to a document seen by this newspaper, they retired for allegedly committing “serious offence”.
But they were never informed of their offences nor were they invited to face any panel of inquiry, army insiders say.


“They aided PDP to get votes”
Many Colonels and Lieutenant Colonels who were laid off on June 9 were merely suspected of failing to cooperate with the All Progressives Congress to garner votes in the 2015 elections, sources told PREMIUM TIMES.
In one instance, T.A Williams (N/11469) a Major; and A. Mohammed (N/10659), a Lieutenant Colonel, both attached to the 195 Battalion, Agenebode, Edo State, with the latter as Commanding Officer, were said to have been flushed out because of complaint of not cooperating with the APC, brought against them. But Mr. Mohammed was said to be away in the North-East at the time and played no role during the election. Yet he was retired.
Similarly, in Rivers State, Army insiders said, APC officials accused four officers attached to the 332 Air Defence Regiment (B. Odiankpa – N/10417) and ; 5 Battalion, Elele (A.S. Mohammed -N10662); 2 Brigade Garrison, Port Harcourt (A.Adimoha – N/10421); 29 Battalion Port Harcourt (T.O. Oladuntoye (N/10338) of aiding the PDP in the state.
Our findings revealed that these officers, accused of partisanship, were not queried or investigated before they were asked to forced to leave the army.
In one curious case, documents seen by this newspaper revealed that Lt. Col A. Mohammed was in the North East, not Agenebode, but somehow his name was among those listed for alleged partisanship.
The former Commanding Officer, 93 Battalion, Takum, O.C. Egemole (N/10423), who was also compulsorily retired, was also accused of “not doing enough” to avert APC loss in Taraba State. He was also neither queried nor investigated.
Seven colonels on the list of the compulsory retirees had no formal charge issued to them nor did they face panel before they were laid off.
For instance O.U. Nwankwo (N/9678) was studying at the University of Ibadan while M.A. Suleiman (N/10030) was in Chad as Defence Attaché before they were suddenly retired.
Then, C.K. Ukoha (N/10319) was in Abuja during the elections, insiders told us, but was accused of taking part in electoral fraud in Benin and was retired.
Also, without probe or indictment for any offence, T. Minimah (N/10185), brother to former Army Chief, Kenneth Minimah, was also removed from his post in Benin and retired.
Did the retirements follow due process?
PREMIUM TIMES checks indicated the army violated its own rules in the ways the officers were disengaged.
The Harmonized Terms and Conditions of Service for Officers whose paragraph 09.02c (4) was relied upon to remove the officers, originates from the Armed Forces Act.
The section cited by the Army provides that an officer may be compulsorily retired “on disciplinary grounds i.e. serious offence(s)” without defining what constitutes “serious offences”.
But the principal law – the Armed Forces Act – establishes all actions that constitute offences in the Military.
The Act prescribes steps to be taken in punishing offences, and a review shows no section empowers the Army Council to arbitrarily punish or compulsorily retire officers for any offence.
In fact, the Army Council, in Section 11(a-f) of the Act, has no power to retire any officer on disciplinary ground without compliance with the steps prescribed by law.
“Army did no wrong; affected officers can seek redress”
The spokesperson for the Army, Sani Usman, a Colonel, however insisted the officers were properly retired.
“Those that were compulsorily retired had one problem or the other that warranted their compulsory retirement from the Army,” Mr. Usman told PREMIUM TIMES.
“Basically that’s it. And whoever is not satisfied with that should please seek redress. They are quite familiar with the terms and conditions of service.
“None of them was arbitrarily retired and they know. Army can’t just retire you without any offence or because the Chief of Army Staff does not like your face.
“It is not for them to go to newspaper. They were advised to write the Commander-in-Chief through the Chief of Defence Staff to seek redress. Their records are there and they will be given cogent reason why they were asked to retire compulsorily.”
Mr. Usman was evasive when asked whether all the affected officers were queried or formally indicted before they were forced out of service.

medicine after death!! fools!!! like if you can't wait for 2019 mynd44 and lalasticlala front page is calling!!

Some staunch supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari are becoming frustrated and rethinking the roles they played in helping the president to power amid increasingly excruciating economic and political crises rocking the nation.
The supporters believe Mr. Buhari had so far failed to demonstrate that he has the wherewithal, and even the political will, to resolve the multifarious challenges the country is facing.
On Wednesday, Feyi Fawehinmi, with Twitter handle @Doubleeph, well known for his pro-Buhari/APC stance, surprisingly expressed disappointment in the administration, and apologized to his followers for convincing them to vote for Mr. Buhari last year, 
“It is possible that I convinced a couple of people to vote for Buhari and the APC,” Mr. Fawehinmi said in his published article in The Scoop. “I owe them an apology. The instincts of these people is to run with their expired ideas directly in the face of all the contrary evidence i.e. the 21st century. In fact, they are not interested in evidence, they are so convinced of their own foolishness. A bunch of undercover communists and unreconstructed socialists.
“I have nothing in common with such people and yet I somehow donated money to them and canvassed people to vote for them. I will freely say that this is one of the biggest lessons I have learnt in my life so far.
“If I convinced even 10 people to vote for Buhari, then I owe them an apology. For not properly interrogating the people who offered themselves as the solution to Nigeria’s problems. Not because it would have made a difference but because it was the right thing to do. Nigeria was always the point.”
Regretting that he failed to deeply interrogate Mr. Buhari’s personality and capacity, he added, “If enough of us had done this, perhaps the APC would not have the confidence to be walking away so blatantly from the product it sold during the campaign as it is doing today.”
He said bringing respite to Nigerians had become a seemingly intractable challenge for Mr. Buhari’s Government “unless oil prices go back up significantly, there is really nothing coming out of the government that gives you any confidence they know what they are doing.


“The ‘smart’ people who were supposed to lead sensible reforms and drive the change agenda have been reduced to actors in a silent movie.”
He said the government had become a source of shame to him, as it now offers daily “a dose of high drama” in place of “a change agenda that was promised.”
“I feel sad and ashamed at the way things are unfolding…The government that promised change is now so bound up in politics that changing anything is practically impossible even when they know the thing is not working.”
Mr. Fawehinmi was reacting to threat by Agriculture Minister, Audu Ogbeh, to “shut” fertilizer firms found to be exporting their products instead of producing for the Nigerian market. 
Threatening to shut businesses, Mr. Fawehinmi said, was capable of bringing humanitarian disaster upon Nigeria.
Mr. Fawehinmi’s article went viral and became a topic of intense debate on Twitter, with many users expressing “respect for the courage” to “tender his public apology.”
On Facebook, Oluseun Onigbinde, the Lead Partner of Nigeria’s budget and public policy analysis platform, Budgit, shared a quote from Mr. Fawenhinmi’s article, and, then tendered an apology too.
“Maybe I have not been bold to say it here,” Mr. Onigbinde wrote. “To put my entire reputation online for anybody when I am not guaranteed access to tell you my mind, I won’t do it again. I apologize too.”
“We will continue to help this government in the way we can because Nigeria First. We just need to be honest that we exaggerated the expectations of Buhari but it was two poor choices we had. We have to admit how to fix that.”
Then a commentator on Mr. Onigbinde’s update said, “A debate and a solid economic plan among others, should be a must for all candidates in the next general election. No more packaging!”
Besides the economic crisis the country is experiencing, which has been blamed on low oil prices, Mr. Buhari’s government has been severely criticized over the secret and illegal recruitments into the Central Bank of Nigeria, and the Federal Inland Revenue Service.
For a government that came to power promising to fight corruption, many Nigerians consider illegal recruitments as a breach of trust. 
Weeks ago, some activists marched against the illegal recruitments in Abuja, accusing the government of corruption and nepotism.
Also, Mr. Buhari’s rating has dropped significantly following his failure to release comprehensive details of assets and liabilities he filed at the Code of Conduct Bureau.


On September 3, 2015, in the face of widespread criticisms, the presidency, through Garba Shehu, a presidential spokesperson, released a few details of assets and liabilities filed by President Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
The presidency promised that full details of the assets would be made public after they had been verified by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).
Eight months after, the CCB said it had completed its verification of the assets, but the presidency has so far failed to release the details.
A few days before the government’s first anniversary, the presidency and the ruling All Progressives Congress denied that Mr. Buhari ever promised to deliver on some of his campaign promises within his first 100 days in office.
