Do you know how many was detained in the first place? Do you know how many got killed without trial or even fair hearing.

Nna, Nigeria has moved on from the era of these same people, the next president of Nigeria after Jonathan would get there not because of his tribe, not because of his religion, but simply because of his past experiences and known competencies eg Fashola, Rochas, kwankaso, Akpabio, etc etc..

Buhari, babangida, abdulsalam, obasanjo, danjuma, atiku, and the likes should release their grip on this country, we the former leaders of tomorrow are already in tomorrow, they should not try to make us feel we are still in yesterday. We are ready.!!!!!!!

U are not right friend......!....let Buhari lead the example to the coming after 16 years of failed democracy.....let lead example to Fashola...El rufai and co

Your Excellency please let me start by emphasising the fact that this is my very first letter to you since destiny elevated you and your husband to the highest positions in Nigeria. It may be the last before your tenure expires on May 29, 2015, and another begins with you or someone else in the saddle. Despite all the controversies engulfing you and your husband, I had resisted the temptation of writing you in the past for several, if not many, reasons. Kindly permit me to expatiate a bit.

I’m a great admirer of strong, confident and energetic women who cannot be bullied by the galaxy of male chauvinists that litter the political landscape of Africa. As someone who was brought up by my amazing mum, Omo Arotiwebiojo, an unlettered woman and petty trader, I knew what it took to survive in a particularly difficult terrain. Indeed, whilst some have impugned you for your so-called lack of command of the English language, I have remained partial to you because, like most of us, English is not your first language, and your contributions have enriched our home-grown lexicon! I can therefore imagine what you and our dear beloved President must have gone through together, in thunder, lightning, rain and sunshine. The hurly-burly of life must have thrown you hither and thither when there was no one else around to share in your secret pain and anguish. But it must have pleased God in His infinite mercy to raise you and your husband up, like Jesus did to a dead Lazarus, as original examples of uncommon transformation.

I must say, Ma, that I have a soft spot for you for other reasons. I was told on good authority that you were a more formidable politician and mobiliser of people and resources than your husband. A few of your friends often regale how you have been a solid pillar and a rock of Gibraltar behind the love of your life, Dr Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan. It is said that you’re willing to sacrifice your all for his sake and he has also reciprocated by according you humongous respect and granting you such vast powers that make onlookers see you as a de facto President in your own right. To God be the glory.

I vividly recollect your relationship with the former First Lady, Hajia Turai Yar’Adua. You gave her tremendous respect and your taciturnity was legendary. Not much was heard from you at that time and not many, except probably Bayelsans, ever suspected that you had so much buried inside your heart and that you were only waiting for the opportune time to vomit them. Even in the days of tribulations when the cabal held sway and grabbed our nation by the jugular, you and your husband handled the volatile situation with maturity and remarkable equanimity. Some of us were ready to fight your battle, and risked our lives, because we saw you as the underdogs who must be rescued from the fangs of the political hyenas. We were further emboldened by the facts of your husband’s man-in-the-street story, a fairy-tale of sorts about a man from the Otuoke manger who had no shoes. We were not just titillated but fascinated by such flashes of inspiration.

Against all odds, your husband became the substantive President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria after the demise of President Yar’Adua. Nigerians were happy about the smooth transition of power and they even boasted that for the first time we had not just another graduate but a PhD holder as President. Sooner than later, as time sped by, it was time for your husband to run his own race. Nigerians from all walks of life queued behind him and he won without much ado. The goodwill he garnered was awesomely massive and the people were very expectant about the “fresh air” promised by him. Of course, to whom much is given, much is expected.

It is nearly four years since that momentous occasion and it is time for a re-examination and re-election. But what should have been a simple walk-over for your sweetheart seems to have developed k-leg. While your husband and those close to him would want us to believe he is Nigeria’s best President ever, many Nigerians feel he has under-performed and would want to try someone else. I have seen you and your husband waka up and down this nation campaigning like no man’s business. Many have likened the exercise to a student engaging in last minute agberu (memorising) after failing to do so all along.  This is the crux of my epistle to you today.
I have read and heard so much about you as a very powerful First Lady. I know that when you are at that level, not many people can tell you the gospel truth. No one wants to offend those in power. But I have decided to tell you the bitter reality once and for all. I’m not writing out of any malice, since none can exist between us. But for the sake of posterity, which I know beckons as always; the fact must be told to you. The summary of what I’m about to say is that you and your husband have frittered away most of your goodwill. Had you retained your humility in power, may be you could have avoided this commotion and conundrum of trying to achieve in two months what you couldn’t in about five years. You would probably have avoided the tragedy of trying to manipulate the electoral process, buying more time and doing a catch-up on lost grounds.

If the actuality must be told Ma, the whole trouble started the day you publicly ridiculed the Governor of your home state. It was reported that you yanked a microphone out of his hands and lambasted him like a recalcitrant school boy. In order not to cause mayhem right there, the Governor was said to have left you to your tantrums and went home quietly like a penitent student. That day, you sowed the seed of discord that would later germinate and snowball into a consuming fire. Though the Governor and your husband like true gentlemen chose to carry on their damaged relationship as if all was well, but the worst was on the way.

The battle for the soul and control of your state would later spread to Abuja where your husband began to see the Governor as an enemy who must be cut down to size. In the process of trying to achieve that dream, more Governors joined the fray and in a jiffy, the centre could no longer hold. I do not want to go into some obvious details as I’m sure you know about the intrigues of power more than me. But I must give one more example of how you laid the foundation for today’s grand alliance against your husband.

Let me put it this way. Never in the history of Nigeria have I read of a First Lady responding to criticisms in the frontal manner you attacked Professor Wole Soyinka over an issue that you could easily have ignored. That singular act of unrestrained combativeness was one of your worst public relations gaffes. Wole Soyinka is one of those global icons that you can’t take on and win. If for nothing, here was a man who at about 76 years of age trekked under the scorching sun of Abuja to defend the rights of your husband when many of the acolytes around you today were nowhere to be found. You were not supposed to repay such selfless gestures with verbal blows. That was when you finally lost me and I’m sure many others.

Let me remind you that virtually all Nigerian leaders have been disparaged at one time or the other. It is one of the heavy prices to pay in compensation for the privileges of leadership. Just imagine how much some of us attacked President Ibrahim Babangida, Chief Ernest Shonekan, General Sani Abacha and others over the June 12 crisis. None of their wives ever hit back at the critics no matter the degree of provocation. In fact, they acted perfectly normal and even tried to build bridges of friendship instead of bombing the castle. I remember with fond memories, Dr (Mrs) Maryam Ndidi Babangida, who remained graceful to the very end. Mrs Maryam Abacha endured the most blistering attacks against her husband in life and death. She has since reconciled with many of her husband’s vociferous enemies. Hajia Turai Yar’Adua was subjected to virulent criticism by many, and I confess I was one of her bosoms in the dying throes of the cabal, but she wisely kept her own counsel and declined to join issues with anyone. When it dawn on her that the battle was lost and won, she packed her baggage out of Aso Rock without as much as a whimper.
If Justice Fati Abubakar was a selfish woman and a poor adviser to her husband, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, she would have insisted that they should not quit power within the one year he promised to hand over to a democratically-elected President. That government had more than enough resources to buy the ubiquitous array of mercenaries but General Abubakar chose to go in peace and not in pieces. It was such a rarity in Africa and till this day the General is still enjoying a standing ovation for his vision.

I must also mention specifically Mrs Stella Obasanjo, whose husband has always had a running battle with the media and yet she maintained steady media frenzy in her own kingdom. She was everyone’s friend and continues to be fondly remembered even in death. I recollect one occasion when we travelled to Beverley Hills, USA, with her, and her simplicity just wowed everyone. She made sure we jumped in the cars and buses and headed out to a night club owned by Don Cornelius. She was so down to earth. On her last trip to Ghana before her unfortunate death, I had gone to pay her a visit at M-Plaza hotel where she and President Obasanjo stayed. Despite my frosty relationship with her husband, we sat in one corner chatting away as the President attended to his own visitors. She never got involved in our endless battles with Baba. I have cited these examples to show that you and your husband are not alone in the barrage of criticisms and attacks. You must rise up way above such pedestal. But sadly, you have not been able to allow any comment pass you by, no matter how mundane.

I decided to write this open letter after the spate of vocal terror you deployed in the last few days against your husband’s opponents. In case some praise-singers told you lies that what you did was right, I wish to assure you that you’ve done almost irreparable damage to your husband’s presidential campaign. I will now proceed to paraphrase about three of those satanic verses that escaped from your tongue this week alone, but not in any particular order.
The first shocker was when you said before a crowd that those shouting the mantra of Change are not serious and that as a matter of fact they should be stoned anywhere they shout Change! I thought it was a joke until the video went viral. The next one was when you spoke dispassionately about how your husband should be praised and thanked for improving the welfare of the menacing Almajiri kids in Northern Nigeria but you then went astray by insensitively and inconsiderately saying that the Northerners are fond of bearing children with reckless abandon and throwing them on the streets to fend for themselves. You went further to say such things don’t happen in the part of Nigeria you come from. I think that wasn’t very nice or tactful.

The last straw for me was when you declared matter-of-factly that your husband’s main challenger, Major General Muhammadu Buhari should not be voted in because he is “brain dead”, according to you. That was extremely malevolent and sinister, to say the least. It is not an elegant language to be used by any lady not to mention the First Lady and certainly not about a former Head of State of the same country that you are governing and from whose citizens you are seeking a second term in office. However, I believe that this may have been an innocent quip. Whilst some may be willing to forgive such naivety, it is essential for you to quickly assure Nigerians that you meant no harm and that despite the ill-feeling and bitterness that politics and electioneering may engender you wish no evil to any man least of all your husband’s leading rival and contender. There is nothing wrong in admitting your mistake of commission or omission. It is actually a sign of strength.
In conclusion, I think you need to offer urgent apologies for those unguarded, unbecoming statements and try to be more circumspect in the future. One of your best appellations that I love most sincerely is that of Mama Peace. Please, don’t change it to Mama War …!

May God continue to bless you and yours.

[BREAKING | APC PRESS RELEASE] Response to PDP’s allegation that APC is responsible for the fuel scarcity | #‎GMB15‬

It is totally unconscionable, and indeed an admission of failure, for a sitting government and ruling party to blame the opposition for their failings. These guys have simply abdicated their responsibility to the people. They can as well throw in the towel and head home.

The questions to ask are: who runs the NNPC? Who pays subsidy to fuel marketers? Who has used federal resources to bribe individuals and groups to such a level that there is no money to run the government, not to talk of paying subsidies?

The moment a ruling party starts transferring its responsibilities to the opposition, it is clear that the market is over, the party said in a statement issued in Dubai on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

Fani-Kayode Suffering From “Substance Abuse”- Lai Mohammed
By Didi Adams

PUBLISHED: March 2, 2015



APC has said contrary to the information being peddled by the spokesman of the Jonathan Campaign Organization, Femi Fani-Kayode, the party does not wish him any ill health, even though it is seriously concerned about his mental state.

“No, we have never and will never wish anyone any ill health. However, we are seriously concerned that Mr. Fani-Kayode may have unhinged, perhaps as a result of a relapse into an unhealthy lifestyle of substance abuse,” the party said in a statement issued in Dubai on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed.

“Our concern stems from the series of incoherent statements, outlandish claims and inconsistent behaviours exhibited by Mr. Fani-Kayode in recent times, which call into question his state of mental health.

“We wish Mr. Fani-Kayode well and call on him to tell Nigerians that he remains clean, despite the massive pressure of work, and that he will not do anything that will see him needing a prolonged reformation in a foreign land,” it said.

Fashola on bench because we don't want a Muslim/Muslim ticket......

Femi fani kayode from his tweet also support muslim/mislim ticket

I love this move by the professor, I think need to be informed about the need for change

KwoiZabo:
even if he doesn't want to go we want him there. it's not about him it's about the millions of Nigerians that want him to continuebas their president.

Is a lie..even people from his state don't want him...they are only two categories that want him...1. Those that he spent the billions he stole for 2. The corrupt leaders that don't want buhari to send them kiri kir

KwoiZabo:
Ride on Mr President we are solidly behind you.
Why I love GEJ is that he is not hungry for Power unlike Atiku, Buhari, Tinubu, Amaechi, Odili etc that are dying for this position.
Imagine if Amaechi had been in GEJ's position when Yar'adua was away for 5months. Hmmmm. but GEJ remained calm until the right time.
GEJtill2019

U missed it guy....if his not hungry of power....he wouldn't have go for 2nd term

Election is near and pple are still keen on kicking him out.

This can't convince me.....march4buhari!

Why is it now his visiting those area

omazus:
The writer of this article misses the point of Igbo support for Jonathan and PDP. There are four issues involved in that support.

1. It is not about the civil war as the Igbo have in the past supported Hausa, Yoruba, Muslim. Did any candidate defeat Yaradua in any Igbo state? Indeed, no other ethnic group like IBB than the Igbo and yet he was a major fighter in the war unlike Buhari whose role was passive. The truth is that Buhari's personae is frightening to the Igbo who are damn freedom lovers. His twenty months rule is nothing to wish one's friend not to talk of oneself.

2. Buhari too is a bad politician. He had never made any serious effort to woo the Igbo. Atiku Abubakar would not have had any issue were he to have emerged.

3. Igbos feel that Jonathan is being plumeted because he is a minority and as a people with high sense of justice Igbo feel this should not be the case.

4. The manner in which APC was formed also left much to be desired. The first impression which mattered a lot was that APC was a union of Northern and Western politicians. The Igbo among them are merely tolerated. If not, why wouldn't an Igbo be made running mate to counter Goodluck's influence their. But for APC Igbo do not matter.

I like the way you defend igbo love for jonathan....but let me bring you to notice...where you have miss some point
1. Buhari aim as head of state was not to fight any tribe but to eradicate corruption.....remember he also jail Kuti
2. APC can not present Atiku as presidential candidate....cos when talking about corruption is same as james Ibori and co
3. In 2011 yoruba massively support Jonathan because we believe he will perform....but he as failed in every sector.
4. When APC want to merginalized they call on the duo of APGA and Labour party but they refuse cos igbo
have bad orientation of segregation and sentiment

Written by Uche Igwe
I took advantage of the break caused by the
postponement of the elections to visit a few
places in the South-East and South-South zones
and directly gauge the perception of the people
about the current political developments in the
country. The first place was my village in Mbaise,
then my mother’s village, both in Imo State.
After going to my state, I joined one of my close
friends to pay a courtesy visit to one of the
riverine villages near Yenagoa in Bayelsa State.
Interestingly, some grass-roots politicians
showed up during both visits and I took the
liberty of the two visits to discuss Nigerian
politics with both sets of people – my kinsmen
and the kinsmen of President Goodluck
Jonathan. During my discussions, it was obvious
that President Jonathan has more supporters in
Imo and other Igbo-speaking states than even in
his home state, Bayelsa. Surprised?
Let me state two things upfront...
The first is that contrary to the views expressed
in some quarters, I do not dislike President
Jonathan, at least not his person. My concern is
about his style of politics and governance and
his performance as President and how these two
factors affect me and my generation. As a
southerner and an academic, I should connect
with him. If he performs brilliantly as President, I
will share in his success and such performance
will brighten my chances and those of other
members of my generation to one day decide to
lead our country. The same way today I am
sharing in his mistakes. So, the stakes before us
are clearly beyond whatever thing I feel about
his person.
The second is that if I am given an opportunity
to nominate who will become the President of
Nigeria under normal circumstances, my first
choice will not be General Muhammadu Buhari. I
am just 40 and so you can begin to guess why.
However, in the circumstances that we have
found ourselves as a nation, Buhari is potentially
a better choice than Jonathan. It is very obvious
that our President has run out of ideas. The
country is deeply divided and the citizens are so
highly disillusioned such that it will only take a
trigger for the country to go up in flames. The
current insecurity, unemployment, poverty and
economic uncertainty in the country have
reached frightening dimensions in our villages.
But do we blame all of these on Jonathan?
Definitely no. Does he have a large chunk of the
blame as our leader at this time? Of course, yes.
The incestuous levels of corruption and blatant
looting going on under Jonathan are part of the
reasons that have led to widespread
disenchantment and loss of confidence among
the citizenry. Does my support for Buhari mean
that he will do any magic? No. These things will
take time to fix but we need another style. There
is hardly any new approach the current
President can bring on the table after trying for
almost six years. Change has become long
overdue. It will have a psychological soothing on
Nigeria and Nigerians.
Now back to my main subject. My discussions
revealed that unlike me, many people from my
village neither support Buhari nor the All
Progressives Congress. I could not but ask the
following questions: What is the Igbo agenda in
the current political dispensation? Who are those
articulating it? What is their reason for the
fixation with the status quo? Why are Ndigbo
reluctant to engage the wind of change
currently blowing in the country? Many of the
people masquerading as Igbo leaders are
individuals of questionable character
preoccupied with only pecuniary objectives. In
my village for instance, a school drop-out is now
in charge. He feeds the kinsmen with falsehood
and takes regular advantage of their ignorance
to enrich himself.
While in the village, one of my uncles called me
and abused me thoroughly for expressing views
that he termed “anti-Igbo.” Which Igbo was he
referring to? It is obvious that he is still fixated
about the civil war and the roles of some
northerners in it. I was shocked that more than
45 years after the civil war, many people are still
passionately talking about it. True, it is an
important part of our national history but is it
not time to move on? Could it be the main
reason to like or hate Buhari and the
northerners? So, what about Olusegun
Obasanjo? What about the Ijaw who took over
our abandoned properties in Port Harcourt? To
my mind, and the minds of many young Igbo
men, the Ijaw, who colluded with other majority
tribes and benefitted mostly in the acquisition of
properties and wealth in Port Harcourt from a
tribe lying helplessly prostrate from a civil war,
committed greater atrocity towards the Igbo.
The Yoruba recently came out to declare that
they would not waste their votes for anyone
without demanding something in return.
Have the Igbo made any similar declaration?
What are they getting from Jonathan and his
kinsmen in return for Ndigbo support in 2015?
Will the Ijaw presidency (no matter how hard we
try, this is what our brothers in the Niger Delta
have reduced the Presidency to) guarantee a
national redress on the injustices of the civil war
and the abandoned property saga? Will President
Jonathan, as an Ijaw, who majorly orchestrated
and benefitted from the abandoned property
saga compensate the Igbo the same way he has
guaranteed amnesty to the Niger Delta
militants?
Have Ndigbo asked for all of these, especially,
since a continued support for the South-South, if
it spirals out of country, may be jeopardising
Ndigbo’s fresh investments in wealth acquisition
in places like Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, Maiduguri,
Jos, Bauchi, Zaria, Ibadan, Lagos, Abeokuta and
Lokoja just to mention but a few. You will recall
that Ndigbo subconsciously redirected their
business investments to these new territories as
a result of the sense of insecurity following the
abandoned property saga. Will they now
jeopardise all of these new investments and
wealth accumulation in support of the kinsman
of the same tribe that stripped them of their old
wealth?
Why are we not engaging candidates on what
they can offer the nation? What are their plans
for the textile industry, shoe industry, commerce
and other areas of comparative advantage of
Ndigbo? What plans do they have to develop
Aba, Onitsha and Nnewi where our industry and
entrepreneurship are defined daily? How can we
expand the infrastructure and capabilities in
these cities and expand opportunities for our
creative youth population? Does a leader have to
be a Christian or a Muslim to attend to these
needs? How come Igbo leaders have been
unable to demand and extract some of these
promises from our politicians? Must we continue
to play the second fiddle in this country?
It is disheartening that Ndigbo have become
politically irrelevant and directionless. No one is
interested in articulating an agenda that will
move the zone forward. No one is interested to
review why someone as comfortable as Eze
Festus Odimegwu will throw his support behind
Buhari or why President Jonathan’s kinsmen are
beginning to reconsider their support for their
son. What you hear when you travel around “Ala
Igbo” are unsubstantiated rumours and
unjustifiable fixation over the history of
yesteryears. I will not join my dear uncle to
continue to bemoan the past. I have chosen to
engage the present and project, positively, for
the future.
The civil war, regrettable as it was, is in the past,
a past that even Nigeria has chosen to feign
never existed; a past that our national
educational curricula have refused to recognise
and teach officially. There is a new war in town;
it is a political war. I am struggling to find the
position of Ndigbo in the new war and it makes
one miserable. The civil war ended 45 years ago
and if care is not taken, we may lose out in this
current political war. We are losing it already
unless we redefine our current priorities from an
individual to a group survival and sustaining
agenda. For a people so talented and
resourceful, this will be nothing but tragic.

Who is Dr. Peter Ayodele Fayose?



The second Executive and first Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governor in Ekiti State, Dr. Peter Ayodele Fayose, a native of Afao Ekiti in Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area of Ekiti State was born on November 15, 1960 in Ibadan. His parents are Pastor Oluwafemi Oluwayose and Prophetess Victoria Olufunke Oluwayose. Dr. Ayodele Fayose began his early education at Saint Leo’s Catholic Primary School, Ibadan in 1966 and obtained his Primary School Leaving Certificate in 1972. He proceeded to the Olivet Baptist High School, Oyo in 1973 where he sat for and passed the School Certificate examination in 1979.

Fayose was admitted for a one year pre-National Diploma (Pre-ND) programme at the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, leading ultimately to a two-year Ordinary National Diploma (OND) programme in Science Laboratory Technology, which he successfully completed in 1984.

He did his one year mandatory industrial attachment at the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN), Ibadan. He proved his worth as a budding scientist by transforming various herbs into chemical substance which were later used to produce different types of body and hair creams. The experiments and the products were consequently christened “Spotless.” Thereafter, this name was adopted and registered as a business name. These creams later became popular in many homes in Ibadan and environs.

In 1985, Fayose was admitted for a Higher National Diploma (HND) programme in Biological Sciences/Applied Medical/Biology by the Polytechnic, Ibadan and graduated in 1987.

While doing his youth service at Pepsi Nigeria Limited, Ibadan, he was engaged in installation, maintenance and servicing of medical and laboratory equipment.

After the youth service, Fayose travelled out of the country during which he was exposed to a broad spectrum of business that guided his life later.

Fayose, a philanthropist, is the CEO of Spotless Investment Limited, a group of companies since 1988 until his election as the Governor of Ekiti State in 2003.

Before his election, Fayose had served as Chairman of a Facts-Finding Committee set up then by the Peoples Democratic Party, and assigned to Kaduna State in 2003. He had served twice as national delegate to the PDP national convention.

During his electioneering campaign, he provided the following services: (i) Award of scholarships and bursary to students in higher institutions within and outside the country.

(ii) Provision of free mobile medical services

(iii) Free mobile water delivery services,

(iv) Provision of free transport services.

Within three and half years as Governor of Ekiti State,,Fayose executed many projects which earned him the acronym, “Architect of Modern Ekiti.”The areas he touched included modern road network construction, poverty alleviation, provisions of electricity, water, housing and drugs in hospitals and health centres ,.Public buildings like the new Governor’s Office, Archbishop Abiodun Adetiloye Multipurpose Hall, Lady Jibowu Hall, the two presidential lodges and the chalets, Professor Sam Aluko Building housing the Ministry of Finance, Architect Fola Alade Building at Fountain Motel, Ado, Trade Fair Complex, Ado,dualising of Ado Ekiti township roads, dualising all entry points to Ado Ekiti such as Ilawe, Iyin, Ikere, and Iworoko Ifaki roads. The civil service was transformed, and as well the teaching inorder to encourage optimum performance among the teachers and civil servants. Salaries of workers were paid at the 20th of every month.Pensions were paid promptly, promotions in the civil service and teaching were never delayed. Inservice training was regular for workers, artisans, commercial drivers and as well the market women were not left out of the packages by the Fayose Administration.

In recognition of his contributions to the development of Ekiti State and humanity, Fayose received many laurels such as Ekiti State “Leaders in Achievement” Honour Award ((2002)

He had also received the following Honours and Award:

Doctor of Public Administration (Honoris Causa) University of Ado-Ekiti (20054); Fellow of the Polytechnic Ibadan (FPI) 2005;
Most Distinguished Alumnus of the Faculty of Science of the Polytechnic, IIbadan (2005);
Outstanding Governor of year 2004 by the Ekiti Kete Association in North America (EKAINA);
