Foreign AffairsPresident Akufo-Ado Of Ghana Caught In Plagiarism Scandal by OLADD(op):
Ghana's new president, Nana Akufo-Addo, has begun his tenure on quite an embarrassing note after being fingered in plagiarising his inaugural speech.The president who gave the speech on Saturday, January 7, 2017, appears to have picked quotes from the inaugural speeches of former US presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush in 1993 and 2001, respectively without giving intellectual credit. Akufo-Addo, 72, was sworn in alongsidehis Vice-President, Mahamudu Bawumia, at the Independence Square in Accra, the Ghanaian capital. The Ghanaian president first lifted a portion of Bush’s January 20, 2001 speech where he said:“I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens building communities of service and a nation of character.”Similarly, he also used quotes from Clinton’s speech delivered on January, 20, 1993, where he said:“Though our challenges are fearsome, so are our strengths. Americans have ever been a restless, questing, hopeful people. And we must bring to our task today the vision and will of those who came before us.”The similarity of the two speeches was brought to the attention of the public byan NDC activist, Stephen Kwabena Attuah on Facebook after the president’s inaugural address.Meanwhile, the Director Of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin has apologized for what he calls a complete oversight in the inaugural speech of President Akuffo-Addo.He said:"My attention has been drawn to references being made to a statement in the speech delivered by the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, at his swearing in on Saturday, January 7, 2017, which was not duly acknowledged.I unreservedly apologise for the non-acknowledgement of this quote to the original author. It was a complete oversight, and never deliberate. It is insightful to note that in the same speech were quotes from J.B Danquah, Dr. K.A. Busia, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and the Bible which were all duly attributed and acknowledged."READ ALSO:Check out the first photos of President Buhari. Recall that President Muhammadu Buhari about five months agoapologised for plagiarizing President Barack Obama’s 2008 inaugural speech.Buhari had been accused of plagiarism following similarities between his speech and President Barrack Obama ofUnited States speech. He blamed it on amedia aide, saying he will be punished.

PoliticsRe: Rivers: Sacked Policemen Are Heroes Of Democracy - Fayose by OLADD:
These are my candid suggestions to Governor Wike and the government of Rivers State:

1. Do a thorough profiling of each of the police officers involved in the dismissal.

2. Begin monthly payment of allowances to the dismissed officers equivalent to amount recently earned as salaries before their victimisation by Buhari's govt.

3. Ensure adequate legal representation and footing of litigation bills of the officers if they choose to seek redress in any courts of law all through to the Supreme Court.

4. Ensure none of the officers lack basic human needs now and as long as their travail lasts.

This is the only way tyranny can be put to shame in Nigeria.

PoliticsMega Party: ADP Zones Party Positions, Registers Next Week by OLADD(op): 12:10pm On Jan 06, 2017
ABUJA—IN pursuit of their quest to wrest political power from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, leaders of the emerging mega political association, Action Democratic Party, ADP, yesterday, zoned National Executive Committee slots to the various zones of the country.

They also declared their readiness to submit the documents for registration as a political party to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, next week.

The ADP is said t o be promoted by aggrieved leaders of the APC and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

According to a document released by the political association, the National chairmanship position has been zoned to the North Central; South West, Deputy National Chairman; South East, National Secretary and National Legal Adviser; North-West, National Organising; and South South, National Treasurer.

The ADP has made provisions for two zones to produce the deputy national chairmen as it was during the early days of the PDP, just as it created a new office, National Diaspora Adviser, which has never existed in PDP and APC.

According to the breakdown, North Central will produce: National Welfare Secretary, National Vice Chairman, Vice National Organising Secretary, Deputy National Woman Leader, Assistant National Secretary, Deputy National Treasurer; National Vice woman leader, National Vice Youth Leader and Ex-Official (2 males, 1 female).

The North-West, aside the position of National Organising Secretary, will produce: National Woman leader, National Vice Chairman, Vice Publicity Secretary, Deputy National Secretary, Deputy National Youth Leader, Deputy National Welfare Secretary, National Vice Woman Leader and Ex-Officio (2 males,1 female).

To the North-East, the positions are Deputy National Chairman, National Vice Chairman, National Auditor, Deputy National Financial Secretary, National Vice Woman Leader, National Vice Youth leader and Ex-Officio (2 males, 1 female).

South South has the positions of Vice National Welfare Secretary, National Vice Chairman, National Youth leader, Deputy Woman Leader, National Leader- PLWD, Deputy National Legal Adviser, National Vice Youth Leader and Ex-Officio (2 males,1 female).

South-West will produce Deputy National Chairman, National Publicity Secretary, National Vice Chairman, National Financial Secretary, Vice National Organising Secretary, Deputy National Youth Leader, Deputy National Auditor, National Vice Woman Leader, National Vice Youth leader and Ex-Officio (2 males,1 female).

To the South East, the slots are Vice Publicity Secretary, National Vice Chairman, National Diaspora Adviser, Deputy National Organising Secretary, Deputy National Leader- PLWD, National Vice Woman Leader, National Vice Youth Leader and Ex-Officio (2 males, 1 female).

Meanwhile, following the nod to go ahead with the procedures for full registration as a political party by the INEC, the convener of ADP, Alhaji Yabagi Sani, told Vanguard, yesterday that the association would submit all the required documents to the electoral commission, next week.

He said: “We have just entered a new year, a lot of activities are going on, people are excited about what is taking place; the time has come because of excitement. Papers are being prepared to be sent to INEC, we are putting everything together for INEC and in a week or two, everything would be concluded and sent to the Commission. What we are seeing now is beyond our imagination.”

At the maiden national meeting of the ADP in Abuja, last Monday, Alhaji Sani had said that what has been put in place is the mega party Nigerians have been hearing about, saying, “ this is the mega party, if you hear of the mega party, this is the mega party.”

It will be recalled that Vanguard had exclusively reported that the mega party would settle for Action Democratic Party, ADP as the name of the party.

KINGwax007:
you must be so thinking that you are talking to an idiot. Did you even knw that only 13% has ever being earmarked for infrastructural development during GEJ's era. And hey, only 20% has so ever being implemented.

That being said,


No country would ever grow it's reserve during recession. Saudi, south Africa, Venezuela, Angetina, Greece, Angola and many more countries that focuses more on crude oil to survive have not only seen a dwindling reserve but slashes in head cost.

Saudi reduced salaries by 20% and even adopted the Georgian calendarz dropping the Islamic calendar just to save cost.

Good countries like Canada, focuses more on exportation and thus, increase in reserve.

Britain on the other hand, does what they do best- increase tax from 40 to 50%, increased cal tax to 40% etc. Pounds is on the decline.

When a country is plunged into recession, she uses her reserve to balance. We don't have.

GEJ, earns more than half of what Nigeria earns in crude oil during his five years tenure, what did he do with it.

APC met with unpaid salaries, dwindling state allocations, no infrastructural development and low reserve of just $30billion, from $60billion.

Guy, bring in more arguments-
In the first instance your argument is outside the line of thought on this thread. However, for the benefit of hindsight I would take time to reply some of the points raised in your submission;

One, a country's reserve can be built up during recession contrary to your notion. All we need to do is to increase spending on productive activities that are geared toward increase in export and spend less on importation. Loans given to governors in the form of bailouts should have been handed to local manufacturers thereby increasing their optimal productivity. If these are done, our GDP would not only improve our balance of trade would ease up while reserve would grow steadily.

Two, the persistent claim of Jonathan not having anything to show for the depletion of foreign reserve is mischievous and ridiculous. Aside the fact that part of the reserve was used to augment subsidy payment (which Buhari's adminstration is still doing), many infrastructures put in place by his administration (which Fashola and co are still continuing with) can be seen by all and sundry. No amount of propaganda can play down the fact that Jonathan's govt put up more infrastructure than any govt in the history of Nigeria as corroborated by Fashola.

As I said earlier, let this thread run its course without any foreign import. Please.

Do you have a link to the news story where the federal government said it has commenced payment to all 9 states?

What I recall reading is that 9 states, including Ekiti State form part of the pilot for the payment, out of which 3 states have received payment. Perhaps you and governor fayose misread or did not comprehend the news report.

Nine states are mapped out for coverage in this first batch and already, many of the beneficiaries were reported to have started receiving their first payments by Friday last week. The states were Borno, Kwara, Bauchi, Cross Rivers, Niger, Kogi, Oyo, Ogun and Ekiti. Of the states, Borno, Kwara and Bauchi have started receiving the money while the rest of the states in the first batch would commence the CCT payments soon.

A cross section of Nigerian media reported that Ekiti was one of the pilot States for the scheme. How can a state whose indigenes were excluded in the first tranche of the payments be regarded as pilot state? In a nutshell, only 3 states qualify to be regarded as pilot states. Period. You and APC should not confuse us with semantics. Please.

thanks for the enlightenment. We are used to scams, courtesy of PDP.

Everything would hit the rocks, eventually, since money no dey. We also help us thank our frog-eyed ex finance minister and the overly corrupt bower hatter, called Jonathan, who met $60billion in reserve and left us with $35billion and still claimed they saved $35billion for the APC.

When reduction of a savings became saving is beyond me.
Reserves are meant to argument the shortfall in any country's foreign earnings and infrastructure deficit if need be. During GEJ era, the reserve was mostly used to finance our fuel import deficit and growing infrastructural demand. Why hasn't Buhari's govt grown the reserve in its 18 months in power? Do you know that our reserve has been plummeting since APC came on board? Stop commenting on fields you know absolute nothing about. Besides, don't derail this thread.

na over education dey worry u. The feds didn't say that they paid Ekiti, they simply said Ekiti govt piloted the scheme. It means they started it, they spearheaded it. Ekiti govt was the first to start paying 5k to the less privileged. Even though it was something that was part of the APC manifesto and Ekiti stole it. We still say, they piloted the scheme
You're just too clever for yourself. That statement was specifically referring to the so-called N5000 stipend in APC 2015 manifesto and not Fayemi's rested policy. No state can be regarded as a pilot state when fund had not been allocated to it, can't you understand? As it's now only 3 states-Borno, Bauchi and Kwara are the genuine pilot states. Ok?

Hey! Did you just say nagging? When did setting a record straight amount to nagging? Go through the statement released from office of the VP where it was expressly stated that the N5000 stipend had started in 9 states. Are you trying to take us though English lesson on the obvious? If the FG wasn't ready to finance the project in Ekiti why did they list it among the pilot states? Are you not even ashamed that only 3 out of 36 states are ready ,yet the Fed govt went to town shouting to the rooftop? Pls stop defending the indefensible.

@OLADD, What exactly is the lie in what the govt said?... Or is there now a new definotion of the word 'lie' which is known by only jonathanians?... Did the govt say anywhere that they had paid people in Ekiti state?... Last time I checked, the only thing announced is that the programme would start in 9 pilot states, of which only 3 states have received money at present. Once again, what exactly is confusing about that?...
Stop been crafty my friend and don't bring Jonathan into this. The Fed govt told us that the N5000 stipend had started in 9 pilot States of which Ekiti was among. Why did they have to specify on 9 states when only fewer states were practically ready in terms of finance. Don't you get it? Mentioning Ekiti as a pilot state when the reverse is the case was nothing but false claim and that was what elicited Fayose's disclaimer. No other words can be used to describe it other than LIE.

Second, it was fayemi, the ex govnr, that paid 10k to people and not fayose.
Lastly, for him to be screaming that his people haven't gotten paid, when the govt didn't say he has, means he is crying for the same 5k he so much ridiculed
You're here talking about consistency, who gave you the impression that the Fed Govt would be fervent in paying this hoax called N5000 stipend? Haven't you heard that El Rufai has put the school feeding programme on hold in Kaduna due to inability of Fed govt to fulfil its own part of the bargain?

Fayose as a Nigerian is entitled to his opinion and that's what you and his detractors have to abide with. If Ekiti was not ready for the scheme's takeoff why was it mentioned as one of the pilot states in the first instance? Was that not a crafted mischief? So, if Fayose comes out to dispute the veracity of Fed govt's claims, must we crucify him? If you're comfortable with hoaxes from this govt, I am not.

When the Governor of Ekiti State Ayo Fayose told the nation penultimate week that his state indigenes were yet to receive a dime from the Federal Govt N5,000 monthly stipend he was dressed down by many Nigerians including the govt at the centre. However, while appearing on Channels TV Sunrise Breakfast programme today, Laolu Akande, Senior Special Adviser to the Vice President on Media and Publicity owned up to the fact that amongst the nine states chosen to pilot the Social Security Scheme, only three states namely Borno, Bauchi and Kwara had received cash backing from the Federal Govt and commenced its implementation. The question now is; why did the APC led govt lie that Ekiti was one of the pilot states? Was it meant to score some cheap political points and counter Fayose's homegrown Stomach Infrastructure and N10,000 monthly stipend Programmes thereby preparing the ground to "capture" Ekiti in 2018? Why can't the Buhari led govt be truthful word-for-word in its press releases and public information? Why do they always leave room for the opposition to pick hole in their actions and inactions due to half truths?
