Beautiful baby

The authorities of the Nigerian Army have said the service will readily release credentials and certificates in its custody to serving and retired officers in need of them.

The Director, Amy Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Olajide Laleye, said in an exclusive interview with our correspondent in Abuja on Wednesday. He said the procedure for the retrieval orcollection of the certificates was known to all serving or retired officers of the military.

The Army spokesman was reacting to a declaration by the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj.Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd), that his credentials were with the military.

Our correspondent asked Laleye if it was true that the military was keeping the General’s certificates.
Buhari had said in an affidavit he deposed to at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory on November 24, 2014 and received by Independent National Electoral Commission on December 18, 2014, that all his certificates were with the Secretary, Military Board.

“I am the above-named person and deponent to this affidavit therein.“All my academic qualifications, documents as filled in my presidential form, President APC/001/2015, are currently with the Secretary, Military Board as of the time of presenting this affidavit. The affidavit is made in good faith and for record purpose,” Buhari stated.

But Laleye stated that the Army would not refuse any officer whose certificates were in its custody from getting them if the existing procedure was followed.He said the Army could not have deprived anybody access to his credentials since the credentials did not belong to the service.

He said, “Every serving and retired Army officer has at least a copy of his certificates and credentials kept in the Nigerian Army while that same serving and retired officer has copies of those same certificates and credentials.“And there is a laid-down procedure to request for certificates. It is known to any serving and retired officer.

“If you want anything checked in your file, you simply follow the due process andit would be given to you because the credentials belong to you.”

“The Nigerian Army does not refuse to give anybody his credentials if the due process is followed. Now, take note of this. Not only does the Nigerian Army keep these things, the individual officers,whether serving or retired, have copies.”

Good

I deh come back.

As for me?i think every right thinking Nigerian who has a pure heart with love for less privileged,privileged,all citizens irrespective of tribe or religion will know that it is a shame on our country to be this way in the year 2014 December.we all know the crimes and atrocities committed by our past leaders and of which most of these crimes came out after they were dead which included the looting and all but growing up during the 80,s,early 90's.life was not so difficult for we Nigerians like this despite the lootings. I enjoyed babangida,abachas regime and what was told about some previous regimes were also a bit good except for some oil mobey missing also during obasanjo's regime which Fela sang about. Though we all know they are steal.my point is ever since the administration of this president good luck Jonathan of which I know it's beginning to the end?its been corruption like we all have never witnessed on earth before and the worst part is they rub it in our faces and not giving a damn about what we going to go about it. It's the height of disrespect from people who swear to serve us forgetting that 4 yeRs soon come.

If you are under age 20 please don't quote me as I know you have no idea of what's going on and because your father is able to feed you properly and train you to school with access to internet and the devil won't let you know the pains of the common man or feel for them. Keep to your greedy self.

If I start listing point blank atrocities and crimes and looting of public funds then almost all of them will be on multiple counts of crimes that their unborn generation will still serve in prisons with hard labor.

I do jot care if Muslim association of Nigeria or can endorses someone,I only beg for th sake of our unborn generation to try and be hopeful for change because this present good luck Jonathan had been nothing but suffering,hatred,murders and blood if the innocent being spilled on the grounds if our country for no reason.

An idle hand is the devils workshop.

Forget who Islam clerics endorse or who Christians endorse but put your self in the shoes of parents whose girls were abducted,raped and killed like cattle put your self in the shoes of parents who send their kids to school but only saw their mangled remains to bury. I am not accusing the president of doing the killings but if an American citizen was being held hostage in Ibadan the city I live In?war might be declared by their president but our own clues less dances shoki every time and has beautiful daughters he gives out in wedding and they all merry.

Would you do this as a human being or father of nations?

God is helping us. We need to help our selves.

We need a change to make our country a happy one. We deserve this at least. The choice is our to vote them out.just try and imagine the looting a that were public knowledge on 4 years alone to the ones we have not heard of. We have militants threatening our lives over elections after been given contracts to secure our crude oil which is our sole source of income? They are quick to sentence soldiers to death but Askari dokubo and tompolo who have said blood will shed are lavishing in jets around the world and all?

Please sit down and think out the future even if you gain from the looting a. Is this a good legacy you want to be remembered for

God will in his infinites mercies lead us right and change our beloved country so we can all live like kings and queens that we are

Merry Xmas folks.

God bless you my guy! God bless you!

All Buhari's supporters on Nairaland please take note! Let's support our General.
Sai Buhari 2015!!!!!

By Chris Okotie

There’s a brief historical parallel between
the 36th President of the United States,
Lyndon B. Johnson (1963 – 69), who
succeeded President John F. Kennedy
when the latter was assassinated, and
President Goodluck E. Jonathan, who took
office after the death of President
Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.
Both Johnson and Jonathan were vice
presidents who succeeded their late
bosses when they died in office, and went
on to get elected in their own rights. Both
presided over their nations in times of
great political turbulence; in Johnson’s
case, during the Vietnam War, in
Jonathan’s, the Boko Haram insurgency
and sundry woes. That’s where their
similarities end.

President Johnson shocked the world in
the heat of the nomination process
leading to the 1968 Presidential elections
when he suddenly withdrew from the
race because of the turmoil generated by
his poor handling of the Vietnam War and
widespread race riots at home. He was,
nevertheless applauded because of the
nobility of his action which effectively
sealed his place in the pantheon of
American statesmen. He chose his
country’s peace over self aggrandizement
and the allure of office.

President Jonathan faces a similar
situation; he is presiding over a deeply
divided country, torn apart by religious
bigotry, unprecedented official corruption
and a badly managed insurgency. While
this poor record ought, naturally to
deflate his presidential ambition like
Johnson’s, Dr. Jonathan unabashedly
schemed his nomination, unopposed, for
the 2015 presidential elections. He and
his PDP cohorts fail to realize that, if you
cannot solve a problem, you invariably
become part of it. That was why President
Johnson didn’t seek re-election. The U.S
leader knew the bounds between honour
and dishonor, and he chose the
honourable path.
Nobody says President Jonathan does not
have the constitutional right to seek re-
election. However, legal right, when it
loses strength against moral ethos,
becomes burdensome to the beneficiary of
that right. When a Commander- in-
Chief is presiding over an army that is so
war-weary that, its soldiers are
deserting the war front in droves because
of superior fire-power of a rag-tag,
buccaneering force like Boko Haram, he
loses the respect of not just his own
armed forces, but that of the people he
leads.

As if the shame of the agonizing plight of
the Chibok Girls is not enough, our
Defense authority seem to be more
anxious for a ceasefire with their Boko
Haram captors, than the insurgents
themselves, signaling war- weariness on
the part of our army. Boko Haram has
graduated from a hit and run terrorist
group, into an army who now occupies
territories they have conquered in the
north-eastern part of the country.

The PDP administration of President
Jonathan is more concerned with plotting
how he’d coast home to victory in the
2015 Presidential elections, than how to
defeat the insurgency and other violent
crimes which threaten the nation’s
stability. This places his current quest for
renewed mandate on a moral quick sand.
The ding-dong of proclamation of
ceasefire by our government and
frequent denials by Boko Haram is too
embarrassing to be allowed to continue.
For God’s sake, President Jonathan
should save this nation the disgrace of
seeing poorly armed Nigerian troops
fleeing into Cameroon in the face of Boko
Haram onslaught. He must exercise
leadership and bring this insurgency to
an end.

In other civilized climes, when a war is
handled in this shoddy manner, the
leadership of the armed forces would be
dishonourably discharged, while the
President and his government forced to
resign for bringing shame on the nation.
Instead, the Nigerian military is making a
scapegoat of poor soldiers who violently
protested bad service conditions, by
sentencing them to death for mutiny.
Though, never should disloyalty ever be
excused for whatever reason, the peculiar
case of the mutinous soldiers who were
recently condemned to death should be
treated with leniency, and their
sentences commuted to reasonable prison
terms because their operational conditions
were less than ideal as evidenced by the
continued desertions being recorded in
this terror war. So much for insurgency!


Now, let us look at the economic record of
a President who is seeking reelection. An
editorial in the PUNCH newspaper edition
of October 6, 2014 exposes Nigeria’s poor
governance index: “In the Corruption
Perception Index 2013 published by
Transparency International, Nigeria
plunged further from 137th out of 177
countries surveyed in 2012 to 144th. Our
score dropped to 25 per cent from 28 per
cent. Nor is our moving out of the world’s
most fragile states in the 2014 Fragile
States Index to 17th cause for cheer in
an economy with Africa’s largest Gross
Domestic Product. We escaped the
ignominy of remaining in the group of the
15 most fragile only because of the civil
wars in Syria and Iraq and the descent
of Guinea Bissau into an unstable narco
state.

“In its Ease of Doing Business Report
2014, the World Bank rated Nigeria 147th
out of 189 countries, a further
deterioration from its ranking of 137th in
2013. Despite all this; glaring poverty,
unemployment and terribly inadequate
infrastructure, Jonathan and his
ministers have created a narrative of
success, even as their failure and the
tell-tale signs of a failing state daily
confront Nigerians”.


Despite all these unflattering statistics,
one is amazed at the crude,
undemocratic manner President
Jonathan went about seeking a renewal of
his mandate in the forthcoming elections.
Long before the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC lifted the ban
on political campaigns; the PDP unleashed
a horde of pro- Jonathan political
organizations on the nation.
These disparate groups, the most
prominent of which is the heavily-
financed Transformational Ambassadors
of Nigeria, TAN, launched a blistering,
false, intimidating campaign which
promotes the candidacy of Jonathan
across the nation. These multi-million
naira campaigns are most noticeable on
the nation’s major television networks
and on billboards in Abuja. We have seen
TAN’s zonal rallies across the nation
where the President’s supporters begged
him to run for 2015 Presidential
elections, as if the whole thing was not
pre-determined.

Prof. Attahiru Jega’s INEC watched this
charade even as the President’s people
audaciously jumped the gun before his
electoral agency blew the whistle on
political campaigns. Armed with a huge
financial war-chest, we are set to witness
another multi-billion dollar presidential
campaign, which is likely to surpass the
N45 billion spent on the 2011 Presidential
polls.


More than any president, Dr. Jonathan
has used his incumbency to the greatest
advantage, deploying strong arm tactics,
and the nation’s resources whenever he
deemed necessary; whether in
dismantling the Governor’s Forum which
threatened his re-election bid, or sacking
errant Governors through instigated
impeachments. The President’s under
hand tactics serves one purpose: clear
the way for his re-election in 2015! If
this is what democracy is all about, we
are in serious trouble.·

Editorial

Boko Haram's Continuing Rampage By THE EDITORIAL BOARD

October 30, 2014

More than six months have passed since the Boko Haram extremist group seized the world’s attention by kidnapping 276 schoolgirls in Nigeria. After a “Bring Back Our Girls” campaign went viral on social media, the United States, France, Britain andIsrael joined an international effort to locate the girls. That effort has been fruitless. Fifty-seven of the girls have escaped, but 219 remain captive.

In recent months, Boko Haram has stepped up its efforts, kidnapping young women and teenagers from the places where they should be safest: their homes and schools. On Oct. 18, the day after the Nigerian military announced that it had reached a cease-fire agreement with the group, Boko Haram went on a house-to-house search for young women in two Nigerian towns, taking 60. Last weekend, Boko Haram kidnapped 30 teenagers, including girls as young as 11 years old.

A horrible fate awaits the abducted, asdocumented by Human Rights Watch in a report published this week. Boko Haram singles out mostly Christians, threatening them with death if they do not convert to Islam, and forcing teenagers into “marriages” with Boko Haram fighters. The captives are treated as slaves, and they are raped, beaten and tortured.More than 7,000 Nigerians have died since Boko Haram began its insurgency in 2009.

In the first six months of this year, the group killed 2,053 civilians. Nigeria’s minister of foreign affairs, Aminu Wali, claimed on Monday that negotiations between his government and Boko Haram were continuing and that a deal would be reached soon. Nigerians have heard such promises before.The government and army are part of the problem. The government has failed in its fundamental duty to protect some of the country’s most vulnerable citizens and help the victims who have escaped Boko Haram recover from their trauma. The army — corrupt, ill-equipped and understaffed — has proved to be no match for the extremist group and hasitself committed grave human-rights abuses.
The Nigerian government must ensure that perpetrators of abuse on both sides are called to account.

Corruption is the greatest problem hindering Nigeria's progress.

Nigerians are diligent, Nigerians are intelligent, Nigerians are smart and Nigerians have never ever lacked ideas on the way to move forward. Nigeria is also blessed with abundant human and material resources and as such, has no reason being poor or undeveloped.

The only reason we are where we are today is because of corruption and impunity. Any leadership that can nip or even just minimise corruption will set Nigeria on an unstoppable path to massive development. Attempting to develop the nation without making a single attempt to check corruption (e.g. GEJ) is likened to fetching water with a basket. Any leader who shows even if it's just only a 'willingness' to tackle corruption definitely gets my votes and prayers. His/her religion or ethnicity is not my problem at this time because after arranging my priorities, I think I need a person who is willing to tackle corruption more than I need a person who is from my tribe or religion.

Buhari may not look presentable, Buhari may be old, Buhari may be from the arrogant Hausa-Fulani born-to-Rule clan, but judging from the present crop of individuals we have vying for the top position, Buhari happens to be the only one with a considerably impeccable record in terms of corruption and he's also the only one who has fixed a 1-point agenda which is to stop the corrupt 'business as usual' in higher places, which we all know is our real problem as a nation.

this guy deserves a MEDAL!
