OP, you shouldn't have included the performance chart beyond 20th position. We all know that the region that forbids western Educ. Must occupy it . Proudly an Igbo man

This news made my day. Its high time this children left this environment for absolute quietness.

berem: This is one of the series of condemnation by Mr President i must commend and fully in support. The stigmatization is totally wrong and uncalled for.

The man has been making sense just that You and some other APC supporters cannot see beyond sentiment. You supported this because, the President commended Lagos Govt.whc is an APC state.

Even foreigners now know that APC is our problem in this Nation.
APC keep sponsoring TERRORISM since 1904AD

gbolademi: n Australian hostage negotiator, Dr. Stephen Davis, has warned that Boko Haram may establish links with two vicious terror groups- Al Shabaab and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria- if not effectively checked now by the Nigerian government.

Al Shabaab, the militant wing of the Somali Council of Islamic Court, aligned with Al-Qaeda and took over most of Southern Somalia in the second half of 2006. The ISIS, on its part, is an Iraqi group that stands with Al-Qaeda as the most vicious Jihad group in the world.

Davis had visited Nigeria to negotiate the release of the over 200 schoolgirls abducted since April by Boko Haram insurgents.

He previously worked as a negotiator for Nigerian government under ex-Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Shehu Yar’Adua administrations during the Niger-Delta militants uprising in the South-South.

Davis, in an interview posted on Wednesday by Radio Australia, said that the best ways to stop Boko Haram insurgency were to block its sources of funding and tracking down its sponsors.

He identified banks and some Nigerian politicians as the major providers of funds to the insurgents.

The Australian claimed that many of the politicians sponsoring the insurgency were in the opposition, adding that it would be difficult for President Goodluck Jonathan to arrest and prosecute them.

He argued that should Jonathan try to order their arrest, it would be misconstrued as a political attempt to rig the 2015 elections.

Davis said, “That makes it easier in some ways as they can be arrested, but of course the onus of proof is high and many are in opposition, so if the President moves against them, he would be accused of trying to rig the elections due early next year.

“So, I think this (insurgency) will run through to the election unabated. These politicians think that if they win power they can turn these terrorists off, but this has mutated.

“It’s no longer a case of Muslims purifying by killing off Christians. They are just killing indiscriminately, beheading, disembowelling people – men, women and children and whole villages.”

According to the negotiator, Boko Haram is growing out of the control of the politicians sponsoring it.

He warned that, as it is the trend with terrorist groups in Somalia, South Sudan and Egypt, the Boko Haram insurgents might soon link up with the ISIS and Al Shabaab.

Davis added, “I would say it’s almost beyond the control of the political sponsors now.

“Terror groups are linking up in Somalia, southern Sudan, Egypt and we have fairly strong evidence they are talking with ISIS members.

“They will link up with ISIS and Al Shabaab and I think that what we are seeing in that region is the new homeland of radical Islam in the world.”

The Perth-based international negotiator claimed he survived months of extreme danger in trying to rescue the 200 abducted schoolgirls.

Davis, who returned from a four-month sojourn with rare footage of the intense fighting in the North-East, said his life was threatened more than once, but his Australian passport saved him.

“When confronted by groups with an AK-47 in my face they’d say, ‘you are American, we have to kill you,” Davis said.

“When you say, no I’m not American, they think you are British, and say you will still die, but when I said I’m Australian, they said that’s all right.

“I have no idea why but it’s certainly been helpful.”

He however blamed the aborted rescue of the schoolgirls on sabotage.

“I made a few telephone calls to the Boko Haram commanders and they confirmed they were in possession of the girls,” Davis said.

“They told me they would be prepared to release some as a goodwill gesture towards a peace deal with the government, so I went to Nigeria on the basis of being able to secure their release,” he added.

According to him, the insurgents lived up to their promise, but the rescue was sabotaged.

He said, “The girls were there, 60 girls. There were 20 vehicles with girls. We travelled for four-and-a-half hours to reach them, but 15 minutes before we arrived, they were kidnapped again by another group who wanted to cash in on a reward.

“The police had offered a reward of several million naira just 24 hours before we went to pick them up. I understand, from the Boko Haram commanders I spoke to, the girls eventually ended up back with them.

“I don’t know what happened to the group that took them but I suspect it wasn’t good.”

He identified banks and some Nigerian politicians as the major providers of funds to the insurgents.

The Australian claimed that many of the politicians sponsoring the insurgency were in the opposition, adding that it would be difficult for President Goodluck Jonathan to arrest and prosecute them.

He argued that should Jonathan try to order their arrest, it would be misconstrued as a political attempt to rig the 2015 elections.

seguntijan: The three largest religions in the world which are islam,christianity and buddism DO NOT ENCOURAGE VIOLENCE. The terrorism that is going on in the world today is as a result of the evil and selfish desires of some politicians. why we hear of terrorism in Islamic countries today is because of political instability. Al queada,boko haram, and al shabad are all groups sponsored by political power mongers. They use islam to brain wash young minds to achieve their evil desires because they every religious person can die for his/her religion. Pakistan,iraq,iran,afganistan,syria,egypt, sudan and our Nigeria are all countries with political instabilities. Where evil men try to get the attention of the government by throwing bombs to kill the innocent people. If you dont believe me, it might surprise you to know that united arab emirates(dubai),malaysia,qartar and indonesia are also islamic countries,but have you ever heared of terrorism there?. Infact most people that are pointing accusing fingers on islam will pack their loads and run to dubai if given the chance. Saudi arabia is the headquarters of islam, dont you think if islam teaches violence then saudi arabia will be more violent than countries like iran, pakistan etc. But it cant happen because saudi arabia practises monarchy and therefore no room for bloody thirsty politicians. Osama was killed just few meters away from the pakistani military barrack, which means he has some backings in the government and in the military. Thesame goes to shekau he has spys in the military that's why he looks invinsible. I know by now some people might be thinking of the 9:11 attack that happen in usa. They did it so that the usa will quickly withdraw their troops in the middle east and then the politicians will have a free group to use the minds of the young people to inflict terror on people, then the government will get their attention. Have you ever heard of an 80 or 60 year old suicide bomber? I dont think so. Or if they exist it means they are few. They cant use the elderly people because they know that they have studied the quran cover to cover, so it becomes hard to brainwash them. Boko haram said they want islamic rule in northern nigeria and western education is a sin and the best way to tell the nigerian government this is by bombing and killing christians and the fellow muslims. Just recently a muslim nigerian airforce personel was killed, the late emir of kano was targeted, a senator's wife was also taken. Does this make sense to you? If you want islamic rule, then why go after your islamic leaders. If they have no politcal links then i guess most of their attacks should be in southern nigeria where christians are many than in the north. We should respect one another believe,wether jesus christ is the son of God or not. We should also know that what seem right before you might be wrong before someone else and vice versa. I think the once respected nigerian army that fought for 3 years to be together and declared peace in sieria loane,ivory coast,dafur,zimbabwe and liberia can end boko haram in just 3 month if they dont have spy. Nigerian people north,south,east and west we should not fight each other because of some evil politicians. We should all pray that we scale through this challenge and by God's grace boko haram shall be history. INSHA ALLAH. God bless the federal repulblic of Nigeria. Long live Nigeria

How many countries in the World is politically stable? Young man, ISLAM is a RELIGION of Peace

ArabaONE: The National Leadership of the All Progressive Congress
(APC) has condemned the act of impunity, indiscipline
and political rascality by members of the People
Democratic Party (PDP) in the Edo State House of
Assembly, saying that such actions negate the rule of
law and must not be seen to be rewarded.
The National Chairman of APC, Chief John Odigie
Oyegun disclosed this Monday when he led some
National Leaders of the Party on a solidarity visit to the
governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole at Government
House, Benin City.
He said, “After due considerations at a meeting held on
Friday, we decided that it was immediate and urgent
that we pay a visit to you, to come and tell you and of
course the Legislators that we know what you have
been passing through, we understand and we are glad
with the way you have been managing what you have
been going through.
“This kind of rascality and indiscipline must not be seen
to be rewarded. Against all odds, you have remained
firm and this is the spirit of the new APC.
Oyegun also said that, “Besides the Rivers State
Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, you are the most current
target of attack in their quest to destabilize APC
Governors. For this simple reason you are not alone.
“What the Party, APC has come to realise is a properly
mapped out war by the PDP to distabilise the APC.
According to Oyegun, “The APC has decided strongly
that it is time that this rascality of the PDP should have
consequences. So, we are not going to sit back any
more and roll over and accept what is being dished out
to us because the level of impunity is becoming totally
unacceptable”.
“The rate at which institutions of state, especially
security institutions, are being undermined and
destroyed can no longer be accepted and tolerated”, he
asserted.
“We read in newspapers, the way the Police have been
used to protect eight ( 0r nine (9) people against
lawful decisions of court, against lawful and majority
controlled House of Assembly”.
Oyegun urged the Comrade Governor to continue with
the provision of good governance to the people of the
state, stressing that the leadership of APC will continue
to give him their support.
According to him, “We have come to Edo State to let
you know that the Party is fully behind you”.
Responding, Governor Adams Oshiomhole on behalf of
the State and Leadership of the Legislature thanked the
National Chairman, Chief Oyegun and other members for
leading a high power delegation of APC on a Solidarity
visit to Government House.
He said, “Let me thank you sir, for your decision to pay
us a visit and all that you have said. Of course, this is
your state, you know the actors and all that are
involved. You are very familiar with the environment and
you are one of the leaders of Edo Community.
“I think what people refer to basically as crisis in Edo
State is something so described because we are not
English people and we do not have the right words to
use.
Oshiomhole said, “My view is that, the refusal by four
(4) suspended members of the PDP of a 24 member
House would be a decision validly taken by their own
House on the basis of rules governing the House that
they are a part of, so, their insubordination has not in
any way translated to a crisis.
Oshiomhole added, “Ordinarily, this should be seen as
the internal affairs of the House that should bother only
the members of the house.
“Whether the House chooses to suspend a member or
appoint a member on assignment or whatever, given the
principles of separation of powers, that should not have
anything to do with anyone but members of the House,
particularly when it has become traditional that various
Houses of the Assembly at one time or the other either
for the right reasons or the wrong reasons, at the State
and even at the National level have had course to
suspend their members and it has never become an
issue leading to the blockade of the economy of the
state.
Governor Oshiomhole argued that “It is more of the way
the Police managed or intervened in the suspension and
providing security cover to force these people into the
House that has become an issue.
“I think you hit the nail on the head when you
condemned the act of reckless misuse of State
apparatus, taking the instruments of coercion, such as
the Police because in a democracy, the police itself
must be seen as instruments of creation of the law and
the protection of lives and property and not otherwise”.
He said, “It is these four (4) PDP members now six that
first approached the court. One approached the State
High Court, the others approached the Federal High
Court, asking the court for their protection, restraining
the speaker from declaring their seats vacant and taking
disciplinary actions against them.
Governor Oshiomhole also explained that the court
upheld their first prayer that they should not declare
their seats vacant but that on disciplinary actions, the
Court cannot direct the House on acts of misconduct by
their members.
“The House in line with their rules went ahead to
suspend the four PDP members who had refused to
obey the suspension even when the 15 APC lawmakers
had sought judicial intervention and of course, if they
were to resolve to self help in a 24 member House, and
four or five were suspended, these five do not have the
capacity to overwhelm the majority members physically.
“Whereas the suspended four PDP Lawmakers have
continued to enjoy the ruling of the Federal High Court
that says that their seats should not be declared vacant,
they have refused to obey the order of the State High
Court”.
On the delegation of the National Chairman were APC
Leader, Dr Ogbonanya Onu, River State Governor, Dr.
Rotimi Amaechi, Former Kwara State Governor, Senator
Bukola Saraki, APC National Secretary, Mainala Boni,
National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, Minority
Leader House of Representatives, Hon. Femi
Gbajabiamila amongst others.

keep deceiving the sinking man. Nyako that needed you ppls help most have not even received a consolation message from the Janjaweedian. APC on the brink

Opeomoope: LEGISLATORS in the Nasarawa State House of Assembly on Monday adopted alleged impeachment offences to be served on Governor Tanko Al-Makura.
The development coincided with the submission of the report of the panel that investigated impeachment allegations against Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako.
Both Al-Makura and Nyako belong to the opposition All Progressives Congress.
Speaker of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Alhaji Musa Ahmed, on Monday, directed the Clerk of the House to serve the governor with notice of impeachment for acts of gross misconduct.
The Speaker’s directive followed a motion of public interest raised by the Deputy Majority Leader of the House, Mr.Yahaya Usman (PDP-Umaisha/Ugya), during the house plenary in Lafia.
The lawmaker presented a document containing allegations of gross misconduct against the governor, which he said was signed by 20 of the 24 members of the Assembly.
He said “I am on my feet to raise a motion under a matter of public interest and I will go direct to read the document I have in my hand. This is a notice of impeachment of Governor Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State for gross misconduct.
“And for the violation of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended, today being the 14th July, 2014, the 20 members of the 24 members of this House unanimously endorsed to serve Governor Tanko Al-Makura notice of impeachment.”
The Chief Whip of the House, Mr. Mohammed Okpede, (PDP-Doma North), seconded the motion to serve Al-Makura with the impeachment notice over alleged misconduct.
Alhaji Musa Ahmed (PDP-Nasarawa Central), who doubles as the Speaker of the House, officially received the impeachment notice and noted that the House had complied with the provision of the constitution to serve the governor with an impeachment notice.
The Speaker subsequently directed the Clerk to serve the impeachment notice on Al-Makura on Monday.
He said, “While in the event that the governor could not be reached for service, the clerk is directed to serve him with the impeachment notice through the media.”
The Chairman, House Committee on Information and Security, Baba Ibaku, toldThe PUNCHthat the governor had siphoned state funds and should not be allowed to continue as the chief security officer of the state.
Ibaku, who represents Loko/Udege constituency, alleged that Al-Makura had spent over N2bn from the local government joint account without recourse to due process.
He said the governor allegedly used one Mr. Usman Saraki as a front to swindle the state of over N800m as a consultant to SUBEB. He also said over N700m was missing from the SURE-P accounts.
He said the governor had sacked over 10,000 workers from the state payroll without following due process.
“The governor has gone beyond his constitutional boundaries and must face the law like every other Nigerian because he is not sacrosanct to the constitution of our land,” Ibaku declared.
The state chairman of the APC, Philip Shekwo, said the party would respond at the appropriate time.
Also reacting to the impeachment notice, the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state, Yunna Iliya, said he had not been briefed about any impeachment notice to the governor.
In Adamawa, however, the seven-man panel set up by the former acting Chief Judge of the state, Justice Ambrose Mamedi, to investigate the alleged gross misconduct levelled against Nyako and his Deputy, Mr. Bala Ngalari, submitted its report on Monday.
The report, in four volumes, has been forwarded by the panel chairman, Mallam Buba Kaigama to the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Ahmadu Fintiri.
While receiving the report, the Speaker congratulated members of the panel for being found worthy of handling such a sensitive assignment.
Fintiri said, “I assure you the committee members and the people of Adamawa State that the Assembly will consider the report meticulously at the plenary in due course before deciding on the next course of action.”

season of unending impeachment against Janjaweedians. Who said that GEJ is a weakly? APC governors Beware! Amaechi is next in line.

When wisdom speaks,Ignorance is expected to be calm. Nigerians should reason beyond theories and pay attention to practical

Politics is a game of interest where there is no permanent enemy nor permanent friend. Its only a foolish follower that can sacrifice his/her life for this pot belle Politicians. I won't be surprise seeing the likes of Amaechi,Fashola,Peter Obi,David Mark craving for defections one day.
Compare politics with football players and see the similarities. Fabregas will play against His once beloved Team, Ashly Cole did that as well as Van pesie where as we are here shouting Arsenal for life. Wise-up my fellow youths let's make a difference.

harizonal123: The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Edo State
Chapter, has visited the widow told by Edo State
Governor,
Adams Oshiomhole to 'go and die' in her distress
and has promised her 250 thousand Naira to
support her business.
It would be recalled that governor Adams
Oshiomhole went on a sanitation inspection tour
and chanced apron a woman eking out her living
by hawking her wares in the street. The governor
then ordered his security details and officials to
seize the property of the widow. When the
widow went on her knees to beg the governor
for clemency, stating that those goods were all
she had, Oshiomhole told her 'you are a widow,
go and die'.
Oshiomhole's comments were particularly
disconcerting to the public after the video of
the incident went viral with many noting that as
a widower himself, he ought to have shown some
empathy to the woman's plight.
But with the kind gesture by the PDP,the
woman's hope for a future has now been
rekindled.
The party released the following update;
Edo PDP watched with consternation Governor
Adams Oshiomhole’s brutal, inhuman and merciless
treatment of a widow street-trader whose wares
he ordered seized and who he unfeelingly told to
‘…go and die’ even as she knelt down in fervent
protestations and appeals to his pity on a
helpless widow.
The governor’s actions are appalling, insensate,
disgraceful, indecent, cruel and below board. It is
clear that he does not care much about the
well being of the people as he pretentiously
avowed. Our hearts go to that hapless widow in
this her time of travails and through her, to
other widows who have been oppressed by the
unfriendly policies of the administration in Edo
State.
The PDP, Edo State will not let any Edo person
‘to go and die’ if it can help it, especially not
hardworking people like that widow who are
engaged in lawful enterprises that are, in
themselves, not easy to carry on. To this end,
our party has instituted an endowment fund for
all widows and oppressed people in the state
and by this release, we invite the widow captured
in the video of the encounter with Governor
Oshiomhole to come to the PDP Secretariat on
No. 70, Sapele Road, at 11am on Tuesday December
3, 2013 to receive a first-installment sum of
N250,000.00 to cushion the pain, trauma and loss
occasioned by her mistreatment and the seizure of
the items she sells.
Governance is about the people and as a
responsible National Institution, Edo PDP cannot
be unconcerned about the wrong treatment of
indigenes of the state to whom the present
administration promised heaven just to win their
votes. We will continue to stand in the gap to
ensure that Edo people are deservedly fairly
treatment
If Governor Oshiomhole believes that Edo People
sinned by voting him into office, let him remember
that he will account for his actions, if not to
the people because he apparently does not
think much of them, but to God Almighty in
the short or long run.
We thank all those who have been humanely
concerned about the plight of the widow and
have stood out vehemently against the crying
shame that was the insensitive action of a
governor who seems bent on repaying electoral
favor with ingratitude.
Signed.
Chief Dan Osi Orbih
Chairman, PDP
Edo State.

striker9: All things being equal, out of favour Super
Eagles players like controversial Osaze
Odemwingie, Taye Taiwo and Ikechukwu Uche
may have another chance to play for the national
team ahead of the 2014 World Cup scheduled for
Brazil.
This follows Eagles’ head coach, Stephen Keshi’s
disclosure to supersport.com that he may extend
invitation to the trio to the national team ahead
of the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil.
The “Big Boss” as Keshi is fondly called has now
revealed that he has not shut the door
completely on any individual as he begins
preparations for the World Cup.
“Contrary to what some people think, I have not
shut the door on players like Osaze (Peter
Odemwingie), Ike Uche and even Taiye Taiwo.
They are Nigerians and are eligible to play for
the Super Eagles at all times,” Keshi said.
The gaffer however stated that they will only get
a look in if they “prove themselves.”
“When I was in the national team, nobody had an
automatic shirt. I was the captain but I did not
play in all the games.
“Everyday in training, it was war. We fought and
sweated to show the coaches that we were
worthy of the shirt. That is the norm now as
well,” he said.
