Perhaps you never had a functional TV set to see his media chat at the time. Do yourself a favour and use Google. Perhaps you could explain why it took Jonathan 19 whole days before he could call Shettima, the Governor of Borno at the time. Everything must be link since you lots don't remember much.

Not everyone who speaks against Jonathan is a BMC. If you still have 10MB to spare, go through my posts. It's too early to be slow.

Sanchez01:
And you never for once thought Jonathan is telling a lie here? Was he not the same man who claimed no girl was kidnapped and didn't do a thing until after three days while his wife played the jury in a shameless display of public sympathy?

Perhaps you're talking about a different Jonathan.

Former president Goodluck Jonathan has denied reports that his administration refused help from the British government to rescue the abducted Chibok girls.

A foreign newspaper had reported that the Jonathan-led administration rejected the offer of British armed forces to help in rescuing the girls, who were abducted in April 2014.

In a statement signed by Ikechukwu Eze, media adviser to Jonathan, the former president said the ‘lies’ in the report were self evident.

“Our attention has been drawn to a report that has been trending, without proper attribution, to the effect that the last administration rebuffed British offer to rescue the kidnapped Chibok school girls,” he said.

“We wish to promptly point out that nothing can be further from the truth, as Nigerians are conversant with the effort made by the Jonathan administration towards rescuing the Chibok girls, especially in relation to collaborating with the international community.

“We can confidently say that the lies in this report are self evident. This is because the international press as well as the Nigeria media actively covered the multinational efforts and collaboration which involved some of the major powers deploying their crack intelligence officers to work with our own security operatives, and those of our neighbours.”

The statement further said there were meetings between local operatives and those from other countries including Chad, Niger and Cameroon.

“In fact, the Jonathan administration was so genuinely supportive that the foreign powers involved were granted permission to overfly our airspace, while conducting the search and rescue missions,” he said.

“We would wish to recall that this collaboration was made possible following letters personally written by former president Jonathan to Barack Obama, former president of the United States; Francois Hollande, president of France, David Cameron, former British prime minister, as well as personal contacts made to the Governments of Israel and China, seeking their assistance in the search for the abducted Chibok girls.”

Jonathan attributed the “concocted story” to people “who have been playing politics with the issue of the abducted girls”.

“We are not surprised that this kind of concocted story is coming out at this point in time, as it appears that some people who have obviously been playing politics with the issue of the Chibok girls will stop at nothing to further their interest,” he said.

Can you imagine? The backhanded, malicious manner employed by the company to discredit HB! What with jittery and herd instinct Nigerian customers.

Asides, investigation for financial malpractice, Heritage Bank should slam a libel suit on them for good measure.

Deal with the currency issue and then confront inflation. Some Nigerians appear to be taking undue advantage of the situation. [b]The prices of items, some of which have got absolutely nothing to do with our exchange rate, [/b]have been rising astronomically and these guys have found a convenient excuse in the cost of the dollar.

And who told you they won't take the evidence to court? Where did you see the evidence on media? Can't Nigerians read a good piece of news anymore without someone shouting "media trial, media trial"?

N100M are you exporting crude oil, Please can you drop names and location of the office you visited, if possible officer that told you this for possible follow up, you don't know what this your report can do for other prospective entrepreneurs, am an entrepreneur and have dealt with Nafdac before and honestly am very satisfied with the staff behavior here in Kaduna.

Yes, if you can if you can't explain what it's doing well your account and if you say the account isn't yours then that's even more jolly! In any case the fun starts in London in March so let's see how that goes. I trust the UK SFO. They don't charge if they don't have a case.

Mark the thread and stay in touch.

The EFCC interim forfeiture clause only requires an application to a high court judge. It's that simple. It doesn't need the consent of the " accused" So Diezani can say whatever she likes. As the money is lodged in escrow pending final forfeiture the balance of convenience is in favour of the EFCC. I am not aware of any application being refused in the last 18 months.

greenpasture:
The conviction is important but we will make do with forfeiture for now. Anything that boosts forward reserves is good news. It was the injection of $200m by CBN that crashed dollar last week. An amount of money any of our kleptocrats can provide with ease. Let the good times roll.

I hope they can sustain this policy of flooding the market with forex. A little fall in the price of crude oil or drop in crude production as a result of renewed violence and we will be back to square one.

The aboki guys are smart. They know people will be desperate and so will offer to buy your dollars cheap. Many of them have been in the business for years so they know what will still happen.

The question is: what has really changed in the fundamentals of the Nigerian economy to justify a strengthening of the local currency? The answer is NOTHING.

What the CBN has simply done is to use some of the gain in the foreign reserves in the last 2 months to pump dollars into the market. Interventions are not new. They have been done by several central banks across the world. But the fact is: where the fundamentals have not changed, they hardly work.

The best the CBN can do is to keep pumping dollars to maintain the parallel market band at between 450 to 480/490. A country cannot spend the money it makes from exports to keep selling dollars to offset rising local demand.

The permanent solution is to reduce local demand for dollars by eliminating the main factors fuelling it. Ensure self-sufficiency in refining of products. This alone will cut demand of dollars for importation of petroleum products by 50%. Then the power sector reforms must be completely re-jigged so that by 2017/2018, we can double current generation and transmission. That way, local industries can start manufacturing again and this will reduce the need to import things like palm oil, furniture, shoes, clothing items, etc.

Make our universities and teaching hospitals centres of excellence. That way, we will not have a President spending four months in a London hospital at the country's expense, and millions of other Nigerians seeking treatment at Indian hospitals or schooling in UK, Malaysia and the US.

Until we do the needful as a country, we will remain in this cycle where the CBN has to pump dollars into the market to force down exchange rates. It is a temporary method which has an elastic limit. It cannot be sustained forever.

The Naira on Thursday consolidated its gains against the dollar at the parallel market, few days after the CBN announced a new forex policy, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

The Nigerian currency exchanged at N500 to a dollar after closing at N505 on Wednesday, while the Pound Sterling and the Euro closed at N600 and N510 respectively.

At the Bureau De Change (BDC) window, the Naira closed at N399 to a dollar, while the Pound Sterling and the Euro traded at N635 and N545, respectively.

Trading at the interbank window saw the Naira closed at N305.50 to a dollar.

Traders at the market said that the new forex policy by the CBN opening up dollar sales to commercial banks for school fees, medicals and Personal Travel Allowances was impacting the market positively. (NAN)

It is my believe that President Buhari had a form of cancer.

The decision was made that he should go to the UK for treatment.

But I think that is where the root of the current trouble most likely lies because...

...when he went to the UK, the only thing conventional medicine (at that level) knows to do with cancer is...

...administer chemotherapy.

Now what is there to be said of any kind of treatment after taking which your hair begins to fall off.

Chemotherapy is poisonous to the body. Conventional medicine itself acknowledges all the weaknesses of
chemotherapy and your doctor himself will also tell you how highly toxic the therapy is.

It has been wondered by many why this is still being used on people.

After chemotherapy, the individual gets weaker. May even look sicker.
These things have happened to the president and so he does not want to appear before the Nigerian
public that way (not a bad decision at all).

This is just a further exacerbation of the fact that the president is sensitive to being publicly declared
ailing (his opposition labelled him "old and sick" during the campaigns).

Now my take is if he hadn't gone to London, the physicians would not have volunteered their
first choice poisonous therapy for him.

It has been established that certain foods fight cancers very efficiently. Certain extracts from certain plants.
He would have been at least as strong as he was before leaving (and not needing further time to be stronger thanks to chemotherapy)
if he did not go that route.

Now a far more unacceptable and underlying but largely ignored story directly related to this is the fact that last year, over N3billion was allocated to the Aso Rock clinic (and this year, about the same amount is being proposed) but the president still needs to travel all the way to the UK for medical checkup and health-related issues.

If that is the case, why was N3.2 billion spent on the Aso Rock clinic in the first place. Did that amount actually end up being spent on the clinic? How much of it was actually spent?

Now to be honest, I believe if treated in Nigeria, the involved doctors may have recommended chemotherapy for the president but I want to use the opportunity of the president's health to draw attention to the absurdity of using chemotherapy to treat anything. Like I said, what can be said of a treatment, which when taken, makes your hair start to fall off.
