GOD BLESS NIGERIA

On the 23rd of september 2012 President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan rang the Closing bell at the New York stock exchange Becoming the first Nigerian Leader in history to do so .
Why many critics have argued about the significance of this landmark event it is important to Note that the global economic community is becoming increasingly aware of the rising significance of the Nigerian Economy.
Analysts have projected that the Nigerian Economy will overtake the South African economy as early as 2015 after the rebasing of the formers GDP to cover previously un captured Sectors of the economy.
A media alert from the New York stock exchange shows that the prime Minister of Japan Mr Shinzo Abe is scheduled to ring the Closing bell at NYSE on the 25th of September while the president of the Italian council of ministers will ring the opening bell on the same day and the opposition in those countries are not dragging them to the slaughter house.

Its quite unfortunate that when comes to Nigeria even the most trivial of things is politicised,politicians look for every avenue to criticise without providing alternative ideas on how the country can move forward .
Any country that ignores the New york stock exchange does so at the detriment of her own economy ,and that is why a country like Japan the worlds third Largest economy is making its presence felt at the Exchange.
The New York Stock Exchange is by far the
largest stock exchange in the world by market
capitalization of listed companies. The
NASDAQ electronic exchange has the most
companies listed and is second largest in the
world by market capitalization of listed
companies.

If Nigeria is to become a global player it must join the league of countries who market themselves on the big stage ,taking part global economic events and remaining in the Global economic spotlight. This is a necessity if we must take our rightful place among the committee of Nations .

Atiku was Chairman of NCP and El rufai was his Boi Boi at BPE. This was their score card

1. Nitel - big fiasco
2. Daily times - comatose Asset stripped
3 . Alscon 3.2Bn dollars sold for $130 million
4 . Ajaokuta steel messed up
5.Many more
80% of the companies privatised by Atiku and Elrufai are not working today.

President Jonathan went through He'll to reclaim the Ajaokuta steel from the Indians who took Nigeria to court! yet this guys have the guts to Abuse the president anytime their wives deny them sex .
Only in a country like Nigeria will a man like Atiku who undersold the SNO license to Globacom in return for half the company will come and be preaching transparency to a sitting president !

We have noted with regret the continuation
today by SaharaReporters.com of its usual
scurrilous and baseless attacks on the
Jonathan Administration with publication of a
false claim that the President is leading a 600-
man delegation to the 68th Session of the
United Nations General Assembly in New York.
While we trust that discerning members of the
public who are already very familiar with
SaharaReporters’ usual fare of mischief,
outright falsehood and erroneous speculation
will rightly dismiss this latest claim as a fresh
manifestation of the online medium’s ill-will
towards President Jonathan and his
administration, we wish to affirm for the
benefit of the unwary that there is absolutely
no truth in the allegation that the President
took a 600-man delegation to New York.
There is also no substance to the rehashed
charge of profligacy which SaharaReporters
annually makes against the President when he
leads Nigeria’s delegation to the UN General
Assembly.
The truth is that less than 30 persons arrived
in New York with the President this morning
as members of his entourage. Other than
them, the only other persons who are in New
York for the UN General Assembly with the
President’s knowledge and approval are
relevant ministers and few essential aides.
President Jonathan’s official delegation is
definitely not out of proportion with Nigeria’s
size, role and relevance in Africa and the
global community.
SaharReporters’ claim that the President’s
delegation is the largest at this year’s General
Assembly is an unjustifiable fabrication which
can never stand any rigorous test of
truthfulness.
We are certainly aware that many Nigerian
citizens are currently on visits to New York.
These persons are here for their own purposes
and neither President Jonathan nor his
administration has any responsibility for the
presence of these persons in New York.
We will not be surprised if it is such persons
who include Nigerian businessmen who are
here for an African Business Roundtable
event, members of non-governmental
organizations and tourists that
SaharaReporters has been counting, for the
sole purpose of mischief-making, as “members
of the Nigerian delegation”.

A mother has spoken of her shock after she
gave birth to a baby with two fully formed
front teeth.
Vicki Griffiths had planned to breastfeed little
Eva Faith but changed her mind after seeing
the newborn’s teeth.
Eva astounded nurses and midwives as well as
her family when she was born weighing 7lbs
4oz at the James Cook University Hospital in
Middlesbrough.
Initially, nobody realised and it was only when
Mrs Griffiths went to have a bath after giving
birth that her husband Steven spotted the
teeth in his daughter’s lower jaw.
Mrs Griffiths, a 26-year-old child minder, said:
‘When I came back into the room Steven said,
“she’s got teeth, you know!” and then we both
burst out laughing.
‘We were in shock, and so were the midwives.
‘She had her mouth closed to begin with, so we
didn’t notice. It was quite bizarre to see them.’
She added: ‘I had been planning to breastfeed,
but when I saw Eva’s teeth I was put off. I
don’t think anybody could blame me!’
Mr and Mrs Griffiths now worry that Eva will
soon start sprouting more teeth before she is
old enough to have Calpol or other children’s
medicine.
The mother-of-three said: ‘I kept asking the
midwives and nurses what I could give Eva if
she was in pain, but nobody was able to
answer me.
‘They just kept going away and then coming
back with more people to look at Eva’s teeth.
Nobody could believe it.
‘When we came out of hospital I went to see
my GP and he said that he had never heard of
this happening before.
‘Midwives with 25-years’ experience were also
saying they’d never seen it.’
Little Eva Faith was born on September 8 and
is now at home with her parents and older
sisters Elizabeth, seven, and Emily, five, in
Redcar, Cleveland.
At first Mrs Griffiths thought the teeth would
have to be removed in case Eva were to choke
on them, but she was checked over by a
paediatrician who said they were stable
enough not to present a problem.
Eva is now thriving on bottled milk and
delighting all that meet her with her unusual
feature.
Mrs Griffiths added: ‘Eva often has her mouth
open, especially after she has woken up.
‘A professional baby photographer came
round to take some pictures, and she simply
could not believe it. Everyone thinks Eva is
lovely, but can’t get over her teeth.’
Jonathan Wyllie, consultant neonatologist at
James Cook, said: ‘It probably happens about
three times every two years here and we
deliver 4,000 babies a year. It’s every 2,000 to
3,000 births.
‘Babies are born with one or two teeth and it’s
usually in the lower gum.’

CO-ORDINATING Minister and Minister of
Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has dismissed
calls for her to resign, stressing that she cannot
do so while the economy
is doing well.
Her reaction came on the heels of the call by the
Governor Rotimi Amaechi-led Governors’ Forum
for her to quit the stage following what the
governors described as
non-performance in the discharge of her duties
to the nation.
The minister, who was asked whether she would
heed the governor’s call and resign, said: “Do I
look like a person who wants to resign? I dey
Kampe.”
According to her, the administration was
creating jobs and that is the main focus of the
President Goodluck Jonathan’s government.
“I want to start from job creation because this is
the main way that Nigerians feel the impact of
what is being done by this administration. This is
an issue that Mr President had insisted on and
focused on.
“Now, in agriculture where we are seeing a
strong results, over 2.5 million seasonal and full-
time jobs have been created. When I say
seasonal, for example, in rice, 460,000 of the jobs
created were seasonal. But overall, over 2.5
million jobs have been created.
“In nine commodity chains, in cassava, in
soghum, in oil palm, in cotton, cocoa, dry season
rice, rainy season rice, maize, etc. So, we are
creating jobs for skilled and unskilled people in
this very important area of the economy,” she
said, adding that investments were being done in
the manaufacturing sector.
In the area of manufactruing, she said, “specific
investments are going in. Indorama company is
making an investment of $1.2 billion in
petrochemicals, fertiliser, particularly. They
have already closed on the financing for this
investment to be situated in Port Harcourt and
the environs. Then, Proter & Gamble of the US
that has built a new factory and they have
invested $250 million in manufacturing baby
products.”

A Southwark Crown Court yesterday heard
from a British prosecutor, Sasha Wass, how
convicted former Delta State governor James
Ibori passed himself off to a Swiss private
bank in 2004 as being the owner of an
Insurance coy, half owner of a bank and
owning 30 percent of indigenous oil firm –
Oando, which paid $1.2 million into his
account that year.
The court also heard that PKB Private bank
had in an internal document likened Ibori,
who governed Delta State from 1999 to 2007,
to a scion of the Kennedy dynasty in the
United States.
Ibori was convicted in February 2012 in the
UK after he pleaded guilty to 10 counts of
fraud and money-laundering worth 50
million pounds ($79.5 million).
Prosecutors say his total wealth was likely to
be far greater than that.
Details of Ibori’s assets and how he kept
them from public knowledge through a maze
of shell companies and off shore bank
accounts are being revealed as part of a
three-week confiscation hearing which began
in London on Monday.
Prosecutor Sasha Wass told the court that
while opening an account at Swiss bank, PKB,
through a shell company called Stanhope
Investment, Mr. Ibori told the bank he owns
30 per cent of Oando.
Quoting from internal PKB documents, Ms.
Wass said the former governor presented
himself as the owner of an insurance
company and 50 per cent owner of a Nigerian
Bank.
She said that a total of $1.2 million (N180
million) flowed into the PKB account from
Oando in three instalments that year which
had later been funneled into other accounts
and were part of funds intended for the
purchase of a $20 million (N3 billion) private
jet.
This is contrary to a statement by Oando on
Monday which claimed that Ibori had only an
“insignificant” holding in the firm adding
that it had sold $2.7 million of its foreign
exchange earnings for naira in 2004 to a
company that had later turned out to be
controlled by Ibori; a fact it did not know
that at the time.
It was learnt that following news of Ibori’s
involvement with Oando, its shares dipped
10 per cent at the stock market on Tuesday
and might still suffer more slip ups in the
coming weeks.
Ms. Wass told the court yesterday that
despite his assets being restrained in 2008,
Ibori had after that date continued to live a
lavish lifestyle, travel and pay fees to the
English boarding school where his three
children were being educated.
Coupled with his unenviable track record of
hiding assets, this led to the “irresistible
inference” by investigators that Ibori had
further hidden assets which had not yet been
uncovered, Ms. Wass said, adding that one
option of where these might be, was Oando.
Wass also quoted from an internal PKB
report from 2004 which said Ibori came from
one of a few Nigerian families which had for
decades developed Nigeria’s oil industry.
“We could compare these families with the
Kennedy dynasty which also mixed business
and politics,” the bank document said.
Another excerpt said Ibori was “an
extremely rich man as he was doing a lot of
business before becoming governor”.
