The @ThisIsBuhari Twitter handle of General Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has amassed over 45,000 followers in just four days. By contrast, President Goodluck Jonathan’s @JGoodlucktweets, which is four years old, has just about 40,000 more followers. Jonathan created his Twitter account exactly 1,634 days ago, on July 6 2010, and now has 84,800 followers. The account appears to have stopped growing, as it has been in the region of 84,000 since he declared his run for a second term a few weeks ago. Buhari’s account was created on Dec 22, and had by the afternoon of December 26, Eastern Standard Time, amassed a following of 45,200. It is also of interest that in the past four years, President Jonathan has tweeted only 129 times, about two tweets per month. His last tweet appeared on November 11, 2014. In comparison, Buhari has tweeted 55 times in his four days on Twitter, his last one appearing yesterday, December 25, 2014. Buhari’s running mate, Yemi Osinbajo, also got into Twitter two weeks ago, on December 10, and his followers are now up to 25,000. Vice President Namadi Sambo, who is also running for a second term, has an even older Twitter account than President Jonathan’s, but although his account was created in February 2010, he has only 3,188 followers. When running for office in 2010, President Jonathan was very active on Facebook and Twitter, which he used to lure younger voters. After the election, when the same supporters, some of whom said they had voted to him but not the PDP, began to demand accountability and productivity, they were quietly ignored by President Jonathan. As their agitations mounted on social media, in August 2012 President openly denounced them through spokesman Reuben Abati, who in an article called them “army of sponsored and self-appointed anarchists,” competing among themselves to pull him down. Jonathan included in the demographic “all the cynics, the pestle-wielding critics, the unrelenting, self-appointed activists, the idle and idling, twittering, collective children of anger, the distracted crowd of Facebook addicts, the BBM-pinging soap opera gossips of Nigeria.” It is an assault the very vocal group does not seem to have forgotten. http://saharareporters.com/2014/12/26/just-4-days-buhari’s-twitter-followers-already-over-half-jonathan’s-twitter-account |

Those following this column would have noticed that I have in the past few weeks written extensively on the 2015 general elections, particularly the presidential polls, the two dominant political parties that will slug it out for the soul of Aso Rock and the emergence of the two foremost presidential candidates, President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) of All Progressives Congress (APC). Today, I will zero in on why I think that President Goodluck Jonathan is highly favoured to win the February 14 presidential polls over Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. For a start, President Jonathan has made modest achievements in the past four years under the peculiar circumstance he found himself. I shall return to the achievements later in the article. Although, the Boko Haram menace predates Jonathan’s regime, no Nigerian is in doubt that it has intensified since Jonathan overwhelmingly won the 2011 presidential poll, which also was greeted with violence and killings in some parts of the North. Before Jonathan made public his intention to contest the 2015 presidential poll and after that the sect’s murderous attacks have continued unabated. Besides the bombings and killings of innocent Nigerians for no just cause, some self-appointed Northern elders have derided Jonathan’s presidency and his right to contest the 2015 polls based on the erroneous impression that after the death of former President Umaru Yar’Adua, a northerner would have succeeded him according to their myopic interpretation of PDP zoning formula. Despite the fact that most Northerners understood the imperative of Jonathan’s presidency and his right to run for a second term as provided in the 1999 Constitution, these elements still think otherwise. Now that Jonathan has emerged the PDP presidential candidate for the 2015 poll, such campaign of diatribe might have considerably eased. If what happened at the weekend’s fund raising of the PDP is anything to go by, there is no doubt that President Goodluck Jonathan, apart from being the PDP presidential flag bearer, is also a pan-Nigerian presidential candidate. In Jonathan, all Nigerians are united and speak with one voice. All Nigerians from all tribes and the six geo-political zones gathered in Abuja and donated hugely to his campaign fund that totaled billions of naira. The various endorsements by civil society groups from all parts of the country prior to Jonathan’s declaration to contest the 2015 polls show that Nigerians want another four years of Jonathan transformation contrary to what the opposition has been orchestrating. There are so many reasons why I think that Jonathan is highly favoured to coast home to victory on February 14 and here are some of them that space could permit. Jonathan did not inter with the freedom of individuals and that of the press. He allowed Nigerians to hold contrary views opposed to his. He did not interfere with the freedom of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in their conduct of elections. Opposition parties won elections in PDP states and Jonathan congratulated the winners. Jonathan did not interfere with the rulings of the courts. He did not use the security agents against anybody including antagonistic governors. Despite abuses by some Nigerians, Jonathan did not invoke his powers on them in retaliation. Under Jonathan’s watch, no Nigerian went on exile and there was no political assassination; there was no state-sponsored impeachment. Jonathan is calm in spite of all provocations. He listens to Nigerians. Under his administration, the pump price of petrol has remained the same. He handled workers’ strike with maturity and reason. He restored peace in the nation’s universities and pumped huge sums of money (N200 billion) to revamp them. He built 12 new federal universities, 9 in the North and 3 in the South to ensure that all states in the country has a federal university and open more access to university education to our teeming youths. The polytechnics and colleges of education were not left out the funding largesse. The president also boosted access to education through the Almajiri Education Programme. The pragmatic education programme is one of Jonathan’s administration initiatives to improve access to education and reduce the number of out-of- school children in Nigeria. Its major aim is to integrate the traditional Tsangaya and Quranic School into the formal education system. Jonathan has done much in road infrastructure. Some of his completed 32 roads include section 1 of the dualization of the Ibadan-Ilorin road (Oyo), Vorn-Manchok road (Plateau), dualization of Section 1 of Onitsha-Owerri road and Onitsha eastern Bypass, rehabilitation of Funtua-Gusau-Sokoto road, Shagamu-Ore-Benin road and the Aiyegunle-Akoko-Edo road (Ondo/Edo states). Nigerian airports under Jonathan have been remodeled. They now look like others in other parts of the world. This is evident at Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Enugu and Port Harcourt airports. The railways have received some revamping under Jonathan’s administration. Nigerians now commute daily in trains across the country with modern coaches. Nigeria has made modest achievements in industrial revolution under Jonathan. Besides the rebasing of the nation’s economy that place us first in Africa with South Africa taking a second position, Unilever Plc invested $200 million in Nigeria, while Procter & Gamble opened $300 million new plant this year in Agbara , Ogun State. In the area of cement manufacturing, our local production grew from two million metric tones in 2002 to 28.5 metric tones in 2013. It is also expected that it will reach 39 million metric tones by the end of this year. The cement industry has attracted $8 billion in local and foreign investments and supports about 1.6 million jobs. After a successful power privatization, the country now generates over 4000 megawatts (MW) of electricity from less 2000 mw in 2010. This is why there has been tremendous improvement in power supply. The only problem here lack of prepaid metres, excessive estimate billings or ‘crazy bills.’ The power sector needs to be put more on track. The agricultural sector has witnessed great transformation under Jonathan. We have witnessed new agricultural policies targeted at increasing domestic food production and growing private sector participation in the sector. Nigeria is now the highest producer of cassava. Something is being done to increase our production of rice. There is the need to still tap our agricultural potentials. Nigeria’s future will depend more on agriculture than oil. If Jonathan could achieve these much under the prevailing insurgency, he would have done more if there was no terrorism in the country. All the money expended to fight the terrorists would have been channeled to national development. With these and other achievements of Jonathan not mentioned, he will definitely be voted into power by Nigerians in the presidential poll. http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=97150 |

A human rights group has claimed that the 28-year-old, attested a year ago for writing an article about the prophet and the caste system, is to be shot An anti-slavery activist has been 'sentenced to death' for insulting the Prophet Muhammad, it has been reported. Mohamed Cheikh Ould Mkhaitir, 28, was arrested a year ago for writing an article about the Prophet Muhammad and the caste system, an extremely sensitive subject in a West African country with deep social and racial divisions. He claims his article has been misinterpreted. The prosecution asked for the death penalty to be carried out in accordance with Islamic sharia law and recommended he be shot. Mauritania, a poor country straddling Arab and black Africa, last applied the death penalty in 1987. Separately, a court in the southern town of Rosso began proceedings on Wednesday against anti-slavery campaigner Biram Ould Dah Ould Abeiday and six members of his organisation for 'inciting violence, disrupting public order, contempt for authorities and membership of a non-recognised organisation'. Biram Ould Abeid, a former presidential candidate, was arrested last month during a peaceful march. He could face a prison sentence of up to five years. Human rights campaigners and the European Parliament have called for his release. Mauritania became the last country worldwide to legally abolish slavery in 1981 and still has the highest prevalence worldwide of slavery per head of population, according to the Global Slavery Index 2013. President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz denies slavery exists in his country, saying that only the consequences of this former practice exist. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/anti-slavery-activist-sentenced-death-insulting-4874896 |

Article written by Freelance journalist and writer for Synagogue Church. Read below... A lady at the centre of a sex scandal involving a prominent South African Pastor has given a shocking confession at a church in Lagos, Nigeria following her ‘deliverance’. Olipha Dube, a 34 year old of Zulu origin, revealed that she had practised as a ‘sangoma’ or witchdoctor for many years, exposing some eerie secrets behind the mysterious ‘profession’. “This is the time to expose the kingdom of darkness and what the devil is doing in so many people’s lives by deceiving them to believe that witchcraft, witchdoctors, herbalists and traditional healers have a solution,” Dube emphatically began after a clip showing her ‘deliverance’ was shown to church congregants. The clip showed the pastor praying for Dube, upon which she violently reacted and an uncanny voice spoke out through her, identifying itself as ‘the great lion’. “I have given her too many powers,” the ‘spirit’ confessed. “I make her do anything I send her. I have given her wisdom to do what I want her to do, to break people’s marriages, to break homes. She is a witchdoctor.” Olipha explained that her professional nursing career inexplicably nosedived, prompting a friend to advise her to seek ‘alternative’ help. Following consultation at a herbalists home, the response she received from her creepy counsellor was an unexpected one. “He told me I had a gift from the ancestors and I was supposed to be a sangoma myself,” she recalled. “I agreed. At that time, I thought it was a solution.” After going to an ‘initiation school’, incisions were strategically placed throughout her body with several darkish substances known as ‘muti’ rubbed in so as to infuse with her blood. “Those charms are to give you powers to see what other people don’t see, powers to be able to communicate with the spiritual world,” she explained. After starting her practice as a traditional healer, the thirst for deeper knowledge and more advanced powers spurred Olipha to pass through another ‘initiation’. “I paid a lot of money and he taught me how to use plants, herbs and trees – to mix them with animal parts – to produce whatever charms you wanted to,” she divulged. Olipha built an altar in her bedroom, as well as erecting a house in her garden dedicated to paying homage to her ‘ancestors’. “You would use that to store your charms and for consultation,” she explained. At this stage, her daily life literally revolved around witchcraft. “Before I could speak to anyone in the morning, I had to speak to the ancestors at my altar... They would tell me how my day was going to be like - the challenges I was going to meet, the people that would come and see me, the charms to use to be able to succeed through the day.” Dube said she had to maintain constant connection with these ‘ancestors’. “I had powers in my eyes, tongue and all over my body,” she told the shocked congregation. “If you take a look at my body now, I have incisions everywhere, even in my private parts.” She described the services of a witchdoctor as a ‘one-stop-shop’ where you are “expected to provide solutions for a variety of problems”. However, everything came with strings attached. “There is no consultation for free. We would first throw the bones on the floor and get information we want about the past, present and future. If the person really wants the problem solved, we would move to the next level where they would have to pay. The deeper the problem, the more the money.” Citing an example of a ‘love-charm’ , the former sangoma explained how she would use plants to create attention and an animal to produce affection. “In this case, I would choose a female dog,” she revealed. “We would wait for the time of mating to capture the dog. At that time, the dog is enraged and uncontrollable. You would remove the parts you require from that dog, dry them in the sun and mash them.” According to Dube, if people consulting witchdoctors knew the contents of the charms given them, most would run for their dear lives. “When people come, they just see powder – they don’t know that this is actually an animal. We would make an incision, put that animal together with other charms in the person’s body, in their blood. That is going to produce the effect from the behavior of the dog in that person’s life. When the man she wants to marry sees her, something will just happen to him and he will lust after her.” However, there were serious side-effects! In this particular instance, Dube explained, after a short-lived romance, hatred would set in leaving the relationship in tatters. “At that stage, that is when people start moving from one witchdoctor to another because they think maybe your charms are not powerful enough. The more they go to witchdoctors, they more they use these charms, the more they go deeper and deeper into their problems,” she revealed. Explaining the rationale behind this, Olipha explained, “The aim was to get people hooked. Once a person gets hooked, it’s impossible to get them out… The more you hunt for greater power, the more you expose yourself into deeper problems. You would even get to a level where you would go to those traditional healers who use human body parts to create charms.” Revealing more about an increasingly common complaint in churches today - having sexual encounters in dreams - Olipha stated, “One of the best ways to create a problem in a person’s life is to get either a spiritual husband or a spiritual wife. This was best done in a graveyard, the former spiritualist sensationally told the stunned crowd. “If you wanted to raise a spiritual husband for a woman, you would randomly select any male grave, looking at the name of the tombstone. Most importantly, you would have to buy this spirit. I would tell the spirit – ‘As from today, you are married to ‘so-and-so’. You are going to stay with her and perform all the duties a husband does to and for his wife.’ Soon afterwards, my client would come to me and say, ‘I am very happy – their life is in shambles. She lost her job. Her husband left her.’ ” However, despite touting herself as a ‘solution-provider’ to others, Olipha was beset by crippling financial challenges. “I lost my business and all of my assets. I was very upset, bitter and angry and decided it was time for me to find something else but I had not made the decision to find God because of the Christians that were also coming to me for consultation. I saw all Christians as fake. I went to a lot of other herbalists, traditional healers and witchdoctors. Instead, my situation got worse and worse until I lost everything.” At this point, Dube visited the controversial South African Pastor Mboro of Incredible Happenings Ministries to seek ‘deliverance’. However, their relationship soon grew sour as Dube publicly accused him in the popular South African tabloid newspaper ‘Sunday World’ of abusing her and ‘sexploiting’ her personal problems for his own gratification, resulting in a contentious court case. In the midst of this, fear steadily welled up within Olipha. She wanted to get out but the ethics of her ‘profession’ did not permit backtracking! “I was living in constant fear,” she stated. “I even gave my car away because I was too scared to drive. These spirits were always telling me that I was going to die. I knew that they were after my life.” Growing more desperate and steadily losing hope, it was at this point that one of her ‘students’ directed her toward a Christian station called Emmanuel TV. “I was shocked. I saw people manifesting, talking about the very same things we would do to other people. I saw Prophet T.B. Joshua commanding the spirits to go out in one word. I saw people with the same problem that I had being helped and knew that this was where my solution would come from.” Resolving to visit The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos, Nigeria, Olipha had a dramatic experience when she was prayed for. “As the prophet was approaching me, I felt this big force that was blowing me. I felt something deep inside my tummy shifting and shaking my intestines in an uncontrollable way.” At this point, Dube said a voice within her instructed her to run as fast as possible away but something inexplicably restricted her movement. “I just had to surrender right there. Before I knew it, this lady grabbed me, lifted me up and told me I was delivered,” she stated. “Since the deliverance, I have this peace inside of me. I can sleep. I am just in tranquillity.” Olipha is packed with advice following her extensive sojourn in the world of darkness. “I have a lot of advice. Firstly to Christians – ‘If you want to be a Christian, be a Christian’. People who go to traditional doctors and herbalists – hear it from me – there is no solution there. You will finish your money and at the end of the day, it will eat up even things that you did not get through them. There is no solution through herbalists, traditional healers or witchdoctors. The only solution is Jesus Christ.” SOURCE: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqemuVyJ-b8 Ihechukwu Njoku - freelance Nigerian journalist currently in Johannesburg, South Africa http://lindaikeji..in/2014/12/photos-startling-confessions-of-female.html?m=1
