BiafraudExposed:
By right if Biafra struggle is real we are not supposed to use our Biafran page to campaign for PDP. PDP and APC is for one Nigeria... We are suppose to live them, live insulting churches and focus on how to get Biafra. But go to the group now they are insulting Tb Joshua, Yoruba pastors and others... Supporting Patient Jonathan Dasuki and other PDP.

Now the latest scam as you can see in the screenshot they are claiming they bought 10 helicopter from Russia to sink the zoo..
Because people are concerned for contributed money now they claim they bought 10 helicopter on their group ..
When will people use their Head in this Biafra deception... Chineke ekwekwala ndi si oji.
See photos of the deception below...

billyG:
The oil belong 2 everybody it belong to nobody.

AntiWailer:
Yes he is .

He shared all our reserves in 2014

He looted the treasury dry carrying cash around in bullion van.

He drop oil price.

He owed contractors before assuming office.

He approved all memo from Okonjo Iweala on disbursement wether to Tompolo or nobody.

He created Niger Delta Avengers to boost our oil production.

BUHARI is the problem I agree.


As much as I know Fayose and PDP must be desperate to come back to power to avoid prosecution.

I agree Buhari is their only problem.

Ontarget:
I feel for Buhari. He is taking the blame for all the sins of the previous governments plus his. The truth is that most of our present failures are as a result of the failures of the previous administrations to lay a good foundation for the future.

Bari22:
Yes i agree with you, Buhari may not be an economist but he knows when an economy is in trouble and does'nt hesitate to take hard decisions for our feature happiness. He is a kind of strong, fearless man with vision to bail out nigeria from its current challenges to the way of development. God bless Nigeria, God bless Buhari.

blackpanda:
Nigerians should rejoice that Buhari won the last election. It could have been far worse than it is now. God gave us exactly what we needed at the time we needed it.

SIMON UTEBOR, who was at the
Aridolf Resort Wellness and Spa, said
to be owned by former first lady,
Patience Jonathan, writes about the
luxury in the edifice
From afar, the sheer magnificence of
the Aridolf Resort Wellness and Spa,
strategically positioned in the heart
of Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital,
draws a first-time visitor into a lavish
embrace.
Arguably the most prestigious hotel
in the oil-rich state, the edifice is
located in Okaka Estate, along Isaac
Adaka Boro Expressway, which is
close to a popular night club, Bolex.
The five star hotel sprawls over a
large expanse of land
complementing the surroundings of
the residential estate which boasts
of the choicest edifices and castles in
the whole of Bayelsa.

The security in the hotel has thinned
out compared to what it used to be
when Goodluck Jonathan held sway
as the country’s President.
Reportedly worth about N10bn, the
Aridolf is said to be owned by the
former First Lady, Dame Patience
Jonathan.

The hotel
Before May 2015, beyond the
opulence oozing from the
impressive building, Aridolf was also
like a presidential fortress, with the
presence of soldiers and members of
other security agencies, apparently
on sentry duty, manning the gates
and other strategic areas.
But it all changed when Jonathan
and the Peoples Democratic Party
lost the 2015 presidential election,
which saw the emergence of
Muhammadu Buhari as President and
the All Progressives Congress as the
ruling party.
While the imposing Aridolf still
retains its grandeur, the air of
presidential security and protected
serenity has since disappeared, as
only private guards and plainclothes
security personnel are seen around
the area.
A first time visitor or guest would
still marvel at the sprawling
architectural masterpiece spread
across four buildings with a fountain
strategically positioned for aesthetic
effect. The fountain is encased with
bulbs of different colours shining
from beneath it, producing a
colourful shade of glamour and
extravagance.


One of the least expensive rooms in
the hotel
Inside the compound, tarred with
interlocking tiles all round, is a
spacious car park that can
conveniently accommodate
hundreds of vehicles. Other facilities
offered at the property include a
nightclub, meeting facilities and a
shared lounge.
Established to mainly cater for
Nigeria’s elite, the Aridolf offers
indoor pools, a spa and wellness
centre as well as free WiFi access for
visitors and guests. Its opulence is
further showcased in the hotel’s
reception area, with expensive
artworks, gold-plated furniture and
imposing landscapes on display.
There is also a chandelier providing
artificial lights from the Plaster of
Paris ceiling and walls.
The hotel’s lobby has a strong,
sweet-smelling fragrance which
gives the impression that it has a
style, taste and class exclusively
preserved for the rich and famous.
The Aridolf boasts of about 200
rooms including suites. The price of
the rooms ranges from N15, 700 to
N367, 500.
According to the hotel’s room rates,
a standard room costs N15, 700;
deluxe room costs N31, 500; a junior
suite is N56, 700 and the executive
room is N75, 600. The Presidential
suite goes for N315, 000 while the
price of the Royal suite is N367, 500.
All the costs are inclusive of value-
added tax charges.
Most of the categories of rooms are
fully furnished with air conditioners,
fridges, TV sets with satellite
channels, good toilet systems, cold
and hot water facilities, WIFI, among
others. The only significant
difference between the classes of
rooms is essentially the bed and
space. They all have similar features.
Dame Patience Jonathan
The hotel serves local and
intercontinental dishes with prices
from N2, 000 upwards.
At one of their bars, christened
Paradise Bar, different variety of
drinks such as beer, wine, whiskey,
gin, fruit juice, among others, are
served. Our correspondent learnt
that the management had to reduce
prices of the drinks because of the
economic recession in the country.
The price of beer now goes for
between N500 and N600 against
their initial N800 and N1, 000 price
tags.
A guest can enjoy a view of the city’s
skyline from almost all the rooms. In
addition, the hotel has a beverage
centre, business centre with full
Internet access, fitness centre,
kitchenette, restaurants, wheelchair
access and airport transportation.
One of the workers in the hotel, who
spoke on condition of anonymity,
said the former first lady was
involved in the running of Aridolf,
despite the fact that the hotel has a
general manager, as well as
managers and supervisors.
The source noted Mrs. Jonathan was
always available in the hotel to
provide effective supervision.
“When she came here last week, she
ensured that she put everything in
place before she left,” the source
said, adding that while the former
first lady also owns another hotel in
Otuoke, her husband’s country
home, she frequents Aridolf more.
A bed in the room
The source said, “Aridolf is a hotel
after the former first lady’s heart.
She is the super supervisor. At times,
she holds meetings with the
employees. At such meetings, she
usually teaches us about business
relations, how to woo and retain
customers, among other things.”
Our correspondent also gathered
that despite the price of the rooms,
the hotel enjoys high patronage
from guests, who are mostly
politicians, oil and gas workers,
businessmen, foreigners and some
middle income earners.
A royal suite which cost almost N400,
000 per night is often occupied, said
another employee, who noted with
pride that “Aridolf has everything
one can think of. It is a place for
recreation, wellness and all what
one desires in a hotel.”
Despite its opulence, some parts of
the hotel seem to have suffered
some deterioration due to the
topography of Bayelsa State.
A restaurant in the hotel
At the balcony in the Paradise Bar,
our correspondent noticed a leaky
roof after a downpour during the
week. The rain also flooded some
area of the bar, soaking some
portions of the synthetic rugs
decorating the place.
A guest blamed the development on
poor architectural and structural
designs of the building.
The guest, who did not give his
name, said the building was
suffering from an assemblage of
expensive fittings but lacked proper
finishing.
He said, “The chairs and other
furniture at the lobby are very
expensive. They were imported. But
those who supplied some of the
materials cheated the owner. Some
of the materials are only shinning
but they are not durable. That is why
you see that some parts of the hotel
are deteriorating.
“The saving grace for the building is
the tiles used to design the hotel
structure. The tiles are the ones
covering the defects in the building.
Remove the tiles and the building
will have serious problems. It is
suffering from architectural and
structural defects.”

Presidential Race Declaration: Jonathan Caught In Plagiarism

A day after President Goodluck Jonathan formally declared his bid for re-election, Saharareporters has discovered that a part of the speech he read at the official launch of his campaign was substantially lifted from a 2006 address given by former Vice President Abubakar Atiku when he announced his entry into the 2007 presidential election.

A day after President Goodluck Jonathan formally declared his bid for re-election, Saharareporters has discovered that a part of the speech he read at the official launch of his campaign was substantially lifted from a 2006 address given by former Vice President Abubakar Atiku when he announced his entry into the 2007 presidential election.

Mr. Jonathan yesterday announced his presidential bid at Eagle Square, Abuja in a ceremony graced by crowds mobilized by state governors, featuring masquerades, musicians and half-naked men.

In the 30-paragraph speech delivered with the aid of a teleprompter, amid loud cheers from his supporters, Jonathan said, “Our country is at the threshold of a new era; an era that beckons for a new kind of leadership; a leadership that is uncontaminated by the prejudices of the past; a leadership that is committed to change; a leadership that reinvents government, to solve the everyday problems that confront the average Nigerian.”

The rhetoric resonated with the crowd, which cheered him on. The crowd was obviously unaware that the paragraph was a plagiarized version of an old speech by Atiku. The former vice president used similar phrases in a speech he read at the Old Parade Ground in Abuja on November 25, 2006.

In paragraph nine of his four-year-old speech, Atiku declared: “Today, as we stand on the threshold of a new era Nigeria requires a new kind of leadership, a leadership committed to this change process.

“We need a leadership that is not hampered or constrained by the regressive politics of the past or the unproductive ideologies of the present. Nigeria deserves a proven, committed and experienced leader who knows how to reinvent government to help solve the real problems our people today.”

One of our sources said that Jonathan’s speechwriters “tried hard to conceal the stealing of another man’s intellectual property, by changing a few words here and throwing a few words there,” adding, “but the evidence of plagiarism came out clearly all the same.”

The source, a professor of linguistics, said the similarities between the two paragraphs “are just too glaring to be regarded as a coincidence.”
