HealthConjoined Babies Successfully Underwent Nine-hour Separation... Bagagist.com by olawalehenry(op): 4:40pm On Jul 29, 2015
Two co-joined twins have been successfully separated
Abdullah and Abdulrahman were takenfrom the Republic of
Yemen to Saudi Arabia to be operated on at one of the best
hospitals in the country. The multi-disciplinary medical team
included consultants in anaesthesiology, paediatric,
orthopaedic, plastic surgery and urinary tract surgery as well as nursing and technical staff.

The difficult operation was carried out by a team of high
professional surgeons.
During preliminary tests it was discovered that the twins
shared inner organs, including the intestines. The operation
lasted for more than eight hours and was carried out in nine
stages. A hospital spokesman said, “The bowels needed to
be separated as well as their urinary systems and then the
pelvic bones.”
The surgeons originally gave the twins a 60 to 70 per cent
chance of survival and they were right, the children survived
and are recovering in the paediatric intensive care unit at
the hospital. Saudi Arabia has a team of top surgeons in the
separation of conjoined twins – with 30 successful cases
from more than 18 countries over the past two decades.
Different Days The multi-disciplinary medical team included consultants in anaesthesiology, paediatric, orthopaedic, plastic surgery and urinary tract surgery as well as nursing and technical staff People with similar cases come to Saudi Arabia from all over the world, including the Sudan, Yemen, Egypt, Malaysia, Philippines, Poland, Morocco and Iraq. Last week, ten-month-old conjoined baby girls, from Texas, USA, also survived a world-first operation to separate them!
The children survived and are recovering in the paediatric
intensive care unit at the hospital.

PoliticsI’ll Battle Corruption, Buhari Vows by olawalehenry(op): 11:05pm On Apr 01, 2015
The president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, vowed on Wednesday that his administration would not tolerate corruption.
He spoke after receiving the Certificate of Return from the Independent National Electoral Commission in Abuja. Mr. Buhari, candidate of the All Progressives Congress, was declared winner of the March 28 presidential election, defeating the incumbent president, Goodluck Jonathan, who was the flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party. “Furthermore, we shall strongly battle another form of evil that is even worse than terrorism—the evil of corruption. Corruption attacks and seeks to destroy our national institutions and character. By misdirecting into selfish hands funds intended for the public purpose, corruption distorts the economy and worsens income inequality. It creates a class of unjustly-enriched people,” Mr. Buhari said.
“Such an illegal yet powerful force soon comes to undermine democracy because its conspirators have amassed so much money that they believe they can buy government. We shall end this threat to our economic development anddemocratic survival. I repeat that corruption will not be tolerated by this administration; and it shall no longer be allowed to stand as if it is a respected monument in this nation.”
The president-elect asked Nigerians to join him in resolving all the challenges Nigeria is confronted with, noting that along the way there would be victories but there may
also be setbacks.
Mr. Buhari, who was Nigeria’s military head of
state between 1983 and 1985, waged stern war against corruption while his administration lasted.
The administration jailed several Second Republic politicians for corruption charges with some of them bagging as 100 years prison terms.
He had assured at a campaign rally in Uyo, Akwa
Ibom State in January that all corrupt politicians will end up in jail if he was elected into power.
“When we come to power, anyone who steals
Nigeria’s money will end up in KiriKiri Maximum
Prisons. We are going to make sure that Nigeria’s
wealth belongs only to Nigerians,” he said.

Politics”we Will Chase Away Adeboye And Co.” Buhari Campaign Organisation by olawalehenry(op): 7:35pm On Feb 05, 2015
The Director General of Buhari Campaign
organisation, Governor Rotimi Amaechi, on Tuesday
accused the PDP of bribing some Christian leaders
in the country with N6billion to campaign against
the APC and its presidential candidate, Muhammadu
BuharI.
Mr. Amaechi made the claim at the APC
governorship rally in Emohua Local Government
Area of Rivers State. He urged the said pastors to
return the money to government coffers, adding
that the Christian faith had been turned into a
business enterprise. He said, “Some pastors
collected N6bn and they are circulating document
and telling you not to vote for an Hausa man; not to
vote for a Muslim; that they want to Islamise
Nigeria. Tell them to return our N6bn.
“They gave them N6bn; they should return it to the
Federal Government coffers. They will tell you that
Buhari wants to Islamise Nigeria; tell them we are
too educated.
“I am a Catholic, but no Catholic priest has told me
that story right now in the Catholic Church because I
will ask him how? If any pastor tells you that, tell
him to return the money.
“Nobody can Islamise Nigeria; they have
commercialised Jesus Christ. They should stop
commercialising Jesus Christ. He is our Lord and
Saviour. You know what Jesus Christ did in the
temple; he chased them away. We shall chase them
away on behalf of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Reacting, Pastor E A Adeboye, the General Overseer
of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and a
member of the two major Christian organizations in
Nigeria, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)
and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has
released a statement indicating that he was not
party to any sum of money allegedly given to
Christian pastors as bribe to endorse the re-election
bid of President Goodluck Jonathan. Recently the
CAN and the PFN are rumoured to have endorsed
President Goodluck Jonathan for a second term,
with reports indicating two of the most respected
and honored Pastors in the country, E.A Adeboye,
and David Oyedepo lent the incumbent their
support.
In a response on Facebook, Pastor Adeboye said, “I
read in the Newspaper this morning that one of the
serving Governors in Nigeria said that some Pastor
(s) in Nigeria collected 6 Billion Naira from
Politicans for the purpose of influencing their
members to vote a certain candidate in the coming
Elections.
“May I humbly request that if there be any Pastor(s)
who collected such money, they should quickly
return such as quickly as possible before the fire of
the Almighty consumes you.”
Speaking to The Herald via telephone, a source in
the Presidency said that the allegations made by
Governor Amaechi were bold faced lies and that the
outgoing Rivers state governor only made the
allegation as the handwriting on the wall had
become clear since the Christian faithful had
pitched their tent with the incumbent to the
detriment of their campaigns calculations.
“They thought since they have Osinbajo that they
will just capture the votes of Christians hook, line
and sinker. However the very recent endorsement
of our principal by Christian leaders has shown that
Nigerians are not fooled. This is why Amaechi is
running from pillar to post conjuring false stories
not even worthy for toilet paper, talkless of soft sell
magazines”, the source said.
“It’s a shame that a man like Amaechi can descend
so low for the sake of political campaign to be
manufacturing such falsehood and deceit against
the very men whose constant prayers are a major
part of the reason our Nationhood continues to
persevere. It is a pity he is willing to barter his soul
for a Mission Impossible as it were. I pray God will
have mercy on him,” the source concluded.

Foreign Affairs2015 Elections: Council Of State Meets Amid Calls For Polls Shift by olawalehenry(op): 5:20pm On Feb 05, 2015
ABUJA, Nigeria. The Nigeria Council of State will be
meeting today, February 5, 2015, to discuss a range of issues affecting the country.
One of the key issues the Council of State will be
discussing is calls from several quarters that the
2015 presidential election should be postponed.
On January 2015, in London, Sambo Dasuki,
Nigeria's National Security Adviser [NSA], told his
audience at Chatham House that he had suggestedto the chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that elections be postponed given what is public concerning the number of Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) distributed at the moment. Dasuki argued that: "If in one year you've distributed 30 million, I don't see how you will distribute another 30 million in two weeks. It doesn't make sense."
The International Society for Civil Liberties & the
Rule of Law, sixteen political parties [the United
Democratic Party (UDP), Citizen Peoples Party
(CPP), Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN), Action
Alliance (AA), Peoples Democratic Congress (PDC), Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Labour Party (LP), Mega Progressive Peoples Party (MPPP), United Party of Nigeria (UPN), Alliance for
Democracy (AD), (ADC), (ACD) Democratic People’s Party (DPP), New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN), and Independent Democrat (ID)], and four presidential candidates [Godson Okoye (UDP), Sam Ekeh (CPP), Tunde Anifowose-Kelani (AA), and Ganiyu Galadima (ACPN)] are amongst the bandwagon supporting a shift on the date for the presidential election.
Postponement of Elections – Legal Opinions
Mike Ozekhome , SAN, argued that: “The electoral Act of 2010 with the 2011 amendment is very clear.
It is an act of the National law which is still very
valid as an existing law. Section 45(1) of the Act
deals with postponement of elections and it makes it clear that elections into the offices of the President and Vice President, Governors and Deputy Governors, and members of the National Assembly- which are already scheduled for February 14, can be postponed by INEC on a date which should not be earlier than 150 days to the expiration of the present term of the occupants of the offices, and not later than 30 days before the expiration. What this means is that we must hold the elections between 30 days and 150 days to the expiration of the tenure of the occupant of that office. That further implies that from February 14 to May 29 when the next government will come into being, must not be earlier than 150 days. It also means that elections could still hold about April 28 for
example, which will still be about 30 days to the
expiration of the present office of the occupant. In other words, the last date the elections can hold for the presidential and NASS election can only be about April 28. The implication is that elections need not hold compulsorily on February 14 if it is not practicable and feasible to do so from all indications. INEC will still be within the statutory period under sect 25 of the Electoral Act to still hold the elections by making a postponement to maximum of April 28 this year but cannot conduct the election after then. What gives INEC the power to make such postponement can be found in section 26(1) of the Act. It provides that where a date has
been appointed for holding of an election and if
there is reason to believe that there will be a
serious breach of peace which will likely occur, or
that it will be impossible to conduct the election on the very date already fixed like February 14, as a result of natural disasters or other emergencies, INEC, may postpone the election. Provided such reasons for the postponement is cogent and verifiable. That word-‘emergencies’-as used in that provision is very large to accommodate. For example, the insurgencies in the North East which have the capacity to cut-off up to three states from being involved in the coming election, which can of course impact negatively on the presidentialelection since the entire country is the president’s constituency. I can see either PDP or APC, depending on whoever wins the presidential election, going to court to seek for annulment of the election on the ground that a large part of the country was not involved in the election. It is therefore left for INEC to know whether it can conduct the election across the country including in the North East, or whether it will play safe to postpone the election because of insurgency. It can also, in view of the political sensitivity of the entire issue, decide to just go ahead willy-nilly with the election and wait for politicians and their parties to ventilate their grievances later in the court of law-
that is why the judiciary is there. However, in terms of whether INEC can postpone the elections, yes it can. As for how long, it can only postpone it up to April 28 and must be ready with very strong cogent and verifiable reasons in line with section 26 of theElectoral Act. It will not be like INEC saying we are postponing the election because of insurgency; it must give statistics to show that such and such Local Government Areas cannot be assessed , aswell as prove that such LGAs are so many that itwill not give credibility and integrity to the electoralprocess if the election is allowed to go on
Sebastian Hon, SAN, argued that: “Under section
26(1) of the Electoral Act, INEC can shift an election, not the general election. If you look at the sub section, there must be an existing vacancy the proposed election is meant to fill or for which INEC is called upon to conduct the said election. Only then can INEC shift election without recourse to any authority. A look at section 135(3) of the constitution shows that the National Assembly, acting upon request by the President, can also shift all the elections in a situation where Nigeria is at war with any other country. It is inherent in that provision that the National Assembly must sit and pass a resolution to extend the tenure of an existing government. To the best of my knowledge, those are the only statutory provisions regulating shifting of election in Nigeria. Therefore, those advising
INEC to shift the February election are pushing tuythe electoral body to commit an unconstitutional act.
INEC has power to shift a particular election to
another date but not the general election. If there is need to shift a general election, the provision under section n135 must be fulfilled. To the best of my knowledge the National Assembly has not met to pass such resolution”.
Professor Itse Sagay, SAN: “You definitely
cannot postpone it in the sense that it will be held at a date later than 90 days to May 29 and it cannot be held later than 90 days to May 29. For that to happen they have to give a reason and the national Assembly have to meet and pass a motion in support of it. That is the only way elections can effectively be postponed. INEC Fixes the date but it is restricted within a period and that period must not be later than 90 days to expiration of the tenure of the government in office."
The Nigeria Council of State comprises of the
President, Vice President, all former President of
Nigeria, all former Heads of Government of Nigeria, all former Chief Justices of Nigeria, President of the Senate, Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Governors of each state in Nigeria, and the Attorney General of the Federation. The responsibilities of the Nigeria Council of State is to advise the President, Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria’s Armed Forces, on:
1.) National population census and compilation,
publication and keeping of records and other
information concerning the same;
2.) Prerogative of mercy;
3.) Award of national honours;
4.) The Independent National Electoral Commission;
5.) The National Judicial Council;
6.) The National Population Commission (including
the appointment of members of that Commission);
and
7.) The maintenance of peace and public order, and
any other matter at the instance of the President.
Given its responsibilities, the Council of State could
advise the government on issues relating
postponing the presidential election.
PoliticsWhen GEJ Said Owning A Jet Was Sign Of Economic Progress, I Was Ashamed- Utomi by olawalehenry(op): 9:21pm On Feb 04, 2015
Renowned economics professor,
Pat Utomi, in this interview with
TOBI AWORINDE of The Punch,
backs a former Governor of the
Central Bank of Nigeria, Prof.
Charles Soludo, who accused the
Goodluck Jonathan-led Federal
Government of plunging the
country’s economy into severe
crisis.
Utomi raises several salient issues
concerning the Nigerian economy
and proffers solutions for the
country’s political leaders to get the
populace out of an economic
logjam. It’s an interesting read,
courtesy of The Punch.
Do you think former Central
Bank of Nigeria Governor, Prof.
Charles Soludo’s argument,
depicting the Federal
Government as incompetent,
was factual?
Absolutely. There are things I want
to disagree with there, but there are
many things I agree with. And this
is really the nature of what political
campaigns should be: to raise
strong ideas that affect polity, in
terms of the quality of life of the
citizens. The truth is that there is no
one solution in this world;
perspectives on that issue can then
allow society to find a more robust
response. I do think that it is
demeaning of the democratic
process for people who are
responding, instead of looking at
the issues he has raised and
providing facts to dispute or
support, to then embark on ad
hominem and personal broad fights
against him. By making the whole
thing emotive, rather than rational,
they take away from quality
democracy and this is part of
fanning the embers of violence that
is going on in this environment.
On the general state of the
economy, I agree completely with
Soludo. The economy is inchoate as
it is. Even more importantly, I agree
with him that we have showed no
learning (desire), because what is
happening now is a complete
replica, as he suggested, of 1982.
I have, in fact, given at least five
lectures on this subject within the
last couple of months, and I said
exactly this. Thus, he was not
saying anything new. One of the
things that strikes me is that in this
age, we lack institutional memory
to the extent that we repeat so
completely mistakes of the past. If
the (Shehu) Shagari administration
(1979-1983) is blamed for not
knowing, surely that mistake
should not repeat itself later,
because we should have learnt
from it.
What are some of these
mistakes?
I’ll give you a good example. When
oil prices began to rise, we had a
visit to Nigeria by the former
Chairman of the Council of
Economic Advisers to President
Reagan, Joseph Stiglitz, who is also
a Nobel Prize-winning economist.
He gave a lecture at the Lagos
Business School, which was
attended by a significant part of the
Lagos business community. I was a
discussant at that lecture, at which
I made the point that the way we
were going about managing our
economy in the face of this oil price
rise was dangerous, unsustainable,
and showed that we had not learnt
from the past. I then suggested at
that lecture that under no
circumstance should we use more
than $40 a barrel for our budget
process.
Because the price of oil in those
days was so volatile—rising and
falling drastically—my argument
was that if oil prices rise to $70,
everything from between $40 and
$70 should go into a stabilisation
fund and not be budgeted.
Whenever oil prices fall, we have
all kinds of abandoned projects, so
I said, ‘We don’t want to continue
this kind of foolish way of doing
things.’ Using that stabilisation
fund, when oil prices fall to $10 as
in 1998, our budget would remain
funded at $40, even though oil price
is as low as $10.
The reason is that we would have
been saving $30 in the stabilisation
fund when it was $70. If it were to
then go above $70, as it did go to
$130 and more, my proposition was
that everything above that should
go into a future fund and that this
fund can be invested abroad so that
future dividends will flow in or in
long-term infrastructure because all
the children that will be born in
Nigeria even 500 years from now
have the same right as us to the oil
that is put in the ground by God for
all of us. Unless some of that
money is being used for
infrastructure, which they (unborn
Nigerians) can use in their time,
then we have cheated them out of
their own heritage.
Have you made these
recommendations to
government?
The Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala, was present at the
lecture, and she made her remarks
when I finished. She said she
agreed with me, but that even the
small excess crude that they were
struggling to release, the politicians
were fighting against it; that even
after warning them to save for a
rainy day, the politicians kept
saying, ‘Look, it is already raining
torrents.’ I then said to those sitting
with me, ‘We are missing the point.
We have a duty to educate and
teach these politicians. In ignorance
and greed, they want to share
everything immediately and cite as
their basis the constitution that
says it can be s hared.’
We should educate them that when
you have these kinds of funds, it
does not take away the share of
any state government, because
they will own their exact proportion
of that fund and the management
of the fund will be made up of
people that will ensure that their
portion is not abused. I also further
said there that many of our
technocrats that are going into
government are missing an
important point: the power of
resignation, to send a message to
politicians. I began to give the
example of Malaysia. Malaysia
would not be what it is today if one
young technical medical doctor in
government called Mahathir
Mohammed did not see something
wrong in the prime minister’s
policy, which was then referred to
as the give-and-take policy.
When he complained about it, he
was not only thrown out of the
government, he was expelled from
the ruling party and he went to
write a book titled ‘The Malay
Dilemma’. His book literally
generated uprisings in Malaysia and
the prime minister had to resign.
Eventually, he was reabsorbed into
the party, became the prime
minister and the story of Malaysia
changed permanently. Malaysia,
which was once worse than us, is
now far better.
Why are our technocrats in
government not realising this
power of resignation to mobilise
the public to learn the right thing
and to force politicians who are
adventurers to behave
appropriately? This happened at the
LBS. Half of Lagos’ elite business
people were there. It is not a secret.
All the things I predicted would
happen have since happened. So,
why should people attack Soludo
for saying that it is like 1982? I
have said this many times.
Are you saying that Okonjo-
Iweala, Fani-Kayode and others
in the Federal Government are
in denial with their outright
rejection of Soludo’s
argument?
What do you expect? Some friends
and I used to have a gathering
around the late Dr. Stanley
Macebuh in his house and Patrick
Dele Cole would be drinking good
brandy and be laughing at me for
drinking Fanta. I would raise an
issue about government and public
office holders, and they would
reply, ‘If na you nko?’ That’s my
question to you: What do you
expect them to do?
Soludo scored the Federal
Government an F on economy.
What is your assessment of
this government?
I don’t want us to get into emotive
discussions. I don’t think the
management of this economy by
this administration is worthy of
praise. I believe there is a complete
misunderstanding. Because they
are not sensitive to people, there is
something that has developed in
Nigeria; I call it the new
mercantilism. One of the biggest
mistakes this President has ever
made is to suggest that the
ownership of private jets is an
indicator of Nigeria’s progress. It is
a terrible thing. I was praying hard
after he said it the first time that he
should realise he made a mistake;
but he repeated it several times
during the World Economic Forum
and I was so embarrassed. I said,
‘Oh my goodness, we need help.’
That has been their orientation,
they have not noticed that the
Nigerian people are actually (poor).
The dynamic question during
elections in the US is: Are you
better off than you were four years
ago? Forget the statistics that
anybody may throw at you,
because as they say about
statistics, there are three things:
lies, damn lies and statistics.
Anybody can generate statistics to
look good. The simple question to
the individual citizen is: Is your life
better today than it was when these
sets of policies were put in place?
My submission to you is that, as an
individual, I am worse off today
than I was four years ago. And I
think most Nigerians who examine
their consciences would say they
are worse off today than they were
four years ago. Forget about grades
of A or F.
How do the issues you raised
about economic
mismanagement affect the
electorate and the masses?
They are doing Nigerians a
disservice by preventing the people
from discussing the issues and
learning, with this emotive abuse of
anybody whose view does not
eulogise them. The numbers are
there. Soludo points to the Nigerian
Bureau of Statistics’ poverty
incidence figures. There is this
nonsense going around now; I think
it was (Femi) Fani-Kayode that said
Nigeria was given an award of the
biggest economy in Africa, as if it
as an award that is being bestowed
on them.
The size of an economy is a
function of the number of the
people in the economy and the
productivity of those people, that
is, output. If there is a huge
population like Nigeria, and the
people are producing seriously, it is
only logical that the size of the
economy of Nigeria should be
bigger than the economy of South
Africa, which is producing more per
person with a much fewer number
of people. But because there are
more of us, our general output will
be bigger than South Africa’s. So,
what is the big deal about it? It is
simply ignorance that is making
people celebrate what they don’t
know. I heard President Goodluck
Jonathan two days ago (Tuesday)
saying, ‘Is there anybody in Nigeria
who understands economy better
than the people at the World Bank
and the International Monetary
Fund?’
It is disgraceful for the president of
a country to speak like that. He
should be the first person to be
proud to say his people are better
than any other, even if they are not.
But in this case, many of our people
have worked in the World Bank,
and we know that the boys in those
places were not half as smart as us
in class. So, why should the
President make that kind of
statement?
How then should Jonathan have
responded to his critics?
In 1997, during the Asian financial
crisis, I was on a study tour at the
Central Bank of Malaysia, Bank
Negara Malaysia. During my trip, I
learnt that Prime Minister
Mohammed refused to follow the
IMF’s suggestions on what Asian
countries should do. Indonesia
chose to and Malaysia was the first
to escape the financial crisis and
begin to run as it did. The IMF was
humble enough to admit that
Malaysia made a better choice than
they had advised Indonesia. I wish
the young lady at Bank Negara,
who was my tour guide, was there
to hear our President’s statement;
she would fall over and laugh to
death. There are some things we
should educate our politicians
about. The problem with our politics
is that we have refused to use it to
learn.
Again, I had the privilege of being
an intern as a graduate student in
the Washington DC, United States.
One of the things I learnt on Capitol
Hill with the Indiana delegation to
the US Congress—which at the time
included people like Dan Quayle,
who would later become Vice-
President under George Bush Sr.—
was that the average senator in the
US, who had never studied banking
in his life, after serving for four
years in the banking sub-
committee of the (legislature),
would probably be as
knowledgeable as a professor of
banking, because they do serious
work. But our politicians have
refused to discipline themselves to
understand that it is about serious
work. They think it is about
motorcades. So, we talk carelessly
because we are uninformed and it
is hurting our country.
President Jonathan says he has
reduced poverty by 50 per cent,
but Soludo argues that it has
actually increased by 71 per
cent and unemployment, 24 per
cent. What are the facts about
unemployment and poverty in
Nigeria?
Based on a report released by
Legatum, Nigeria is considered one
of the most miserable places to be
born on earth. Basically, it is even
better to be born in some ragtag
African country than to be born in
Nigeria because of the quality of
life—people dying at childbirth and
so on. Look at the Human
Development Index, which Soludo
also quoted. I was asked to review
the HDI a couple of years ago and if
you isolated Borno State from
Nigeria that year, it would be the
poorest country in the world. So,
there are many of those dynamics
that we’re challenged by and it is
one of the imperatives that
politicians should go to town
debating in detail—issues of
poverty, incidence of poverty, why
people are poor, etc.
One of the things I disagree with
Soludo on very strongly is where he
said, ‘Where is the money? Oil
prices have fallen, so where does
the All Progressives Congress or
even the current government hope
to find the resources to do all these
things they are saying they will
do?’
My reply to that is that today, all of
us talk about Singapore. When, in
1965, Singapore’s only resource,
which was oil, was what the British
Navy was paying as rent for using
Singapore’s natural seaport as a
deep-sea terminal, the British made
a decision, as part of the
reorganisation of the Navy after
World War II, to close down all their
naval bases east of Eden. That
meant closing the naval base in
Singapore. So, the country was in
the middle of its greatest adversity.
It posited that the only way it could
survive was by being attached to
their neighbours in the North:
Malaysia. The federation of
Singapore and Malaysia was seen
as its way out. But the leaders of
Malaysia—primarily because of fear
of the Singaporean Prime Minister,
Lee Kuan Yew—decided to eject
Singapore from the federation.
For Singapore, it was like ‘We have
nowhere to go. This is the end of
the world for us.’ Well, they rolled
up their sleeves, chose to be
creative, and 30 years later, that
young rascal called Yew wrote a
book called From Third World to
First: The Singapore Story. They
had, in one generation, gone from a
country that had no resources at all
to becoming the largest
concentration of billionaires in the
world on that small island. Thus, it
is not about how much revenue you
are getting. In fact, the revenue can
be the problem.
Too much revenue can make a
nation do foolish things, like it has
made us do. I consider this moment
in Nigeria, with oil prices crashing,
as an opportunity and not a threat.
All we need is serious-minded
people who can sit down and
construct a government that will be
inclusive of all, because, as
someone said, it is better for
everybody to be inside fishing out,
than to be outside fishing in. These
people should be dedicated to an
elevated immortality in terms of
how history remembers them, not
people who are looking for big bank
accounts. Nigeria can, in the next
10 years, be the envy of all, with
the low oil prices of today.
What are the opportunities
peculiar to Nigeria, which you
think the next government can
take advantage of?
First of all, we’ve got to forget this
business of waiting for oil
revenues. They should take a low
threshold of oil prices as our first
savings to drive things forward.
They should also take the many
other factor endowments Nigeria
has—sesame seeds, rubber, gum
Arabic, mineral resources, and the
like—and determine which six or
seven of them in different
geographic locations around our
country we can develop to become
the best or leading producers in
terms of their entire value chain all
over the world.
Then they should educate our
people to the best level to be able
to develop those products and go to
work. Nigeria will emerge an
economy so strong that it will make
the rising of the Rhine Valley in
Germany seem like child’s play.

Politics“jonathan Or Not, Niger Delta ‘ll Resume Militancy This Year” – Annkio Briggs by olawalehenry(op): 7:10pm On Feb 04, 2015
Niger Delta activist Annkio Briggs speaks
during a support rally for President Goodluck
Jonathan in Port Harcourt on April 14, 2011
ahead of Presidential election on April 16.
Briggs, a female activist and founder of
Agape is a Birthright, an organisation that
monitors and reports on oil spills and gas
flaring in the Niger Delta, has mobilised
mostly youth support during a rally in Port
Harcourt to vote for President Goodluck
Jonathan. “Jonathan is son of a fisherman,
and if the son of a fisherman can be a
president, that means any Nigerian can make
it” said Briggs during the rally
A Niger Delta activist and the national
National convener of the Niger Delta Self
Determination Movement (NDSDM), Ms
Annkio Briggs, has said the whether president
Jonathan get re-elected or not, the people of
Niger Delta have resolved to emback on
agitation for the ownership of the oil this
year.
She also alledged that there were some
cabals in the country who believe that they
must control everything, saying the same
people were the one sabotaging the process.
Speaking in an interview with journalists
yesterday in Abuja, the Niger delta activist
revealed that the country will definitely see
agitation from her region very soon.
“I want Nigerians to understand that the
Niger Delta people have decided that whether
Jonathan the president of not the president in
2015 is no longer an issue for us because we
have to support him. Now whether is the
president or not the president, come 2015
Niger Delta will start agitating the ownership
of the oil, even if everybody does not do it,
some of us are going to do it and we are
going to do it untill we get what we want.
Other countries are practising ownership, we
must practice ownership.
“The land Niger Delta belong to me and not
you. You come from a particular region and I
can not claim North-east. Why is everybody
else claiming Niger Delta? Let us be realistic,
I come from Niger Delta, it is my place
therefore what is there is mine. But the
constitution of the 1999 says it is not, fine, I
don’t have to accept it, we don’t have to
accept it.”
Speaking further on agitation of ownership,
Annkio Briggs, explained that, “We will see
agitation from the Niger Delta. I am speaking
to you as the National convener of the Niger
Delta Self Determination Movement
(NDSDM), our project as we see it today is
that we are going to use every legal mean
available both within and outside Nigeria.
“We concided the oil companies and the
federal government of Nigeria thart are
operating in the Niger Delta as people that
are operating without our bonafide consent. It
doesn’t mean that by the constitution they
don’t have right to operate, they do but we
are saying that we do not accept that they
have such right. So we will pursue the legal
angle. We want the constitution to be
interpreted and when it is interpreted, we
want to see whethe that constitution is in our
favour or not, if it is not in our favour we want
to change it in our favour.
She cited America as example where the
country decided to leave their oil in the land,
adding that other mineral resources in the
Northern part of Nigeria were also leave in
the land, saying government should also
leave oil in the land.
Reacting to the insinuations that the final
reports of the defunct National Conference
has been torched, the Niger Delta activist
said “I as person who attended the
conference I am not surprise that any part of
the reports will be doctor because it is not the
delegates that have written the reports, it is
other people that have sat down to write the
reports, so there would be areas that people
object to but I am saying that in general, this
thing is not about one region alone, it is about
six regions that make up of Nigeria. It is not
about one ethnic group, it is about all the
over 250 groups that make up Nigeria,
whether Nigeria survive as a nation is
dependent on every one of us.
Politics“osinbajo Is My Problem”- President Jonathan Cries Out To Pastors In Abuja by olawalehenry(op): 7:01pm On Feb 04, 2015
Ruffled by the momentum generated by the
nomination of Pastor Yemi Osinbajo as General
Mohamadu Buhari's running mate, President
Goodluck Jonathan is asking a group of Pentecostal
pastors to help him avert what he fears could be an
impending loss in next month's presidential polls.
Osinbajo, a prominent cleric with the Redeemed
Christian Church of God, law professor and Senior
Advocate of Nigeria, SAN emerged APC's
presidential running mate last month giving
President Jonathan and the ruling party, PDP, what is being described as sleepless nights, by sources.
Specifically last Thursday, the President held a
meeting in Abuja, with a number of Pentecostal
pastors led by Bishop David Oyedepo of Winners
Chapel, with the main agenda being how to fashion out ways to solve the "Osinbajo" problem. Sources at the meeting confirmed that President Jonathan confessed in a rather rattled and humbling manner that "Osinbajo is my problem."
According to those at the meeting, the President
added that "everything was okay until APC picked Osinbajo."
This is coming against the background of wild
speculations that APC is an Islamist party and that General Buhari is a religious fundamentalist-which has become one of the main planks of the PDP presidential campaign. While PDP chieftains and supporters have continued to characterize APC as an Islamist party, APC leaders have consistently dismissed such as unfounded, baseless and a scare tactic by the PDP.
Many observers say the nomination of a prominent Pentecostal pastor from the fastest growing church in Africa by the APC may have effectively doused such speculations and the attempt to label the party as one with an islamization agenda.
There has been a rather conscious attempt to make next month's presidential polls a religious one especially in the Southern part of the country where there is a much larger Christian population, observers say. At the meeting organized by the Executive Secretary of the National Christian Pilgrims Commission (NCPC) John Kennedy Okpara, President Jonathan poured out his mind that running against a leading Pastor of the RCCG, who is also known to be very close to the much reverred General Overseer of the church, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, is an uphill task.
Sources at the meeting, said Jonathan was ruffled
and much distracted as he confessed to the
challenge to him, of the APC naming such a person as Osinbajo as General Buhari's running mate.
In response, the Pastors led by Bishop Oyedepo
assured the President at the meeting that they
would, "starting from today," use every device
possible including social media, the pulpit and
influence peddling, to campaign in support of
President Jonathan and against the Buhari Osinbajo ticket.
Before the meeting with the President, sources said the pastors held a meeting on the same day to strategize and agree on how and what they would present to the president.
At that pre-meeting, some Pentecostal pastors
suggested that they use the opportunity of the
meeting afforded by the President to express their genuine fears on growing insecurity in the North with Boko Haram killing and attacking Christians and other innocent Nigerians.
But Bishop David Oyedepo, the most influential
pastor at the meeting interrupted the idea, insisting that the meeting was to encourage and strengthen President Jonathan ahead of the elections and not to discuss compelling national issues of concern to majority of Nigerians.
While some of the pastors were shocked and
disappointed that Bishop Oyedepo would not allow them to raise important issues bothering most Nigerians, they decided to keep silent not to be seen as spoilsports.
And later after meeting the president, the pastors
gathered together again on the same day to device strategies they will use to campaign against Buhari/ Osinbajo, with the main scheme being to label the ticket as an Islamist one.
Some of the pastors also suggested that they can
influence Christians that the position of Vice
President is not an effective one, and that having a Christian hold it makes no difference, although the Nigerian constitution and the order of precedence makes the office the next in rank to the president.
Indeed as if carrying out the resolve, members of
the Winners Chapel said Bishop Oyedepo has
already started using the pulpit to achieve the goals set out at last Thursday meeting in Abuja.
Some of the members said yesterday Sunday
January 18, Bishop Oyedepo raised a prayer point
that an Islamist would not become the President of Nigeria in the polls coming next month to the
chagrin of many of the church attendants on Sunday

PoliticsWho Really Wants To Lslamize Our Dear Country NIGERIA by olawalehenry(op): 11:20pm On Jan 16, 2015
1. Formation of Organisation of Islamic Countries
OIC was established in 1969 through a Saudi Arabian initiative, following the burning of the Al- Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, which was considered an attack on the Muslim world. The Headquarters of the organisation are in Jeddah. The first meeting of the organization was held in Morocco in 1969.
2. Gen Yakubu Gowon Yakubu Gowon sent a Nigeria
delegation as an observer led by Alhaji Abubakar
Gumi to the OIC in its first meeting in 1969 in
Morocco. Despite opposition. He, Gowon, a Christian
from Plateau State took the first step by sending
Gumi to represent “Nigeria Muslims”.
3. General Muritala Muhammed to Gen Muhammad BUHARI Regimes
The administrations of Muritala/Obasanjo, Obasanjo/Yaradua, Shagari/Ekweme and Buhari/Idiagbon refused to sign to Nigeria’s full membership of the OIC despite pressure and intense lobbying from Saudi Arabia. They maintained that Nigeria is a secular state and not an Islamic country.
4. General Ibrahim Babangida
French news agency reported that Nigeria has been admitted into the organization as its 46th member in January 1986. Ebitu Ukiwe from Abia State, then a navy commodore and second in command to the then military President, Ibrahim Babangida, had it rough with that administration when he declared publicly that the decision to join OIC was not discussed at any level of government. Mr. Ukiwe’s denial of th decision reportedly led to his forceful exit from government.
5. General Sani Abacha Maintained Nigeria’s membership despite calls for withdrawal from various groups including Christian Leaders.
6. Obasanjo/Atiku Abusive
At the G-8 Islamic countries in Egypt in 2001, Obasanjo identified himself carrying Nigeria as an Islamic country by attending that meeting. His attendance cemented Nigeria’s Status as a member of the OIC and an Islammic State.
7. Yaradua/Jonathan Administration
Renewed Nigeria OIC Membership On April 11, 2012 President Umaru Yaradua renewed Nigeria’s membership the Organization of Islamic
Conference (OIC), the same way IBB registered with the organisation in 1986, the Nigerian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Abdullahi M. Garba Aminchi , quietly visited Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, the Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) and signed the new OIC charter on behalf of the Nigerian government.
Although this event was published on OIC’s website the same day and widely reported in other Middle East media, it was not reported in the Nigerian
media. The Nigeria Foreign Minister as at then Chief Ojo Maduekwe refused to speak on the matter.
8. Jonathan/Sambo Administration
There have been calls by religious groups and others to withdraw Nigeria’s OIC membership. As at this day, Nigeria remains a full member of the OIC, and the President in its capacity appoints delegates to represent Nigeria in OIC.
ISLAMIC SUMMIT 2013, HELD IN CAIRO
President Ebele Goodluck Jonathan led Nigeria’s
delegation to the OIC Islamic Summit in 2013.
Other delegates are…H.E. Dr. Nuruddeen Muhammed Minister of State II for Foreign Affairs, Amb Hassan Tukur (Foreign Affairs Minister), Amb. Abdullah Omaki, Abubakar Sheikh Bunu, Mr. Tijjani Hammanjodu, Mr. Suleiman Sani and Mr. Manir Ibrahim

SUMMARY:
General Yakubu Gowon opened the floor by sending Nigeria Delegation as an Observer.
Generals Gowon, Muritala, Obasanjo and Buhari,
including President Shagari refused to grant the OIC’s request of making Nigeria a Full Member.
General IBB signed up Nigeria as full member in
January 1986.
President Obasanjo attended OIC meeting in 2001 on behalf of Nigeria.
President Yaradua renewed Nigeria’s OIC
membership in April 2009 President Goodluck
Jonathan had attended OIC’s conferences and
meetings on behalf of Nigeria including the Last Cairo
Conference in 2013.

Christianity EtcPls N Pls Avoid Hell Fire-----------ex Muslim Priest by olawalehenry(op): 8:46am On Dec 30, 2014
AVOID HELL FIRE - EX- MUSLIM PRIEST


While I was working in a muslim mosque as an
imam, as a parish priest, I preach in my parish
that Jesus Christ is not God, for me, God was only
Allah, and I believed Allah never got married, so
no sons for Allah. So I preached there that Jesus
is not God.
Then somebody ask me, who is Jesus?’’ from the
crowd. Maybe a muslim, but he asked me, who is
Jesus?’’ I was preaching he is not God, but the
question is who is he? To know who is Jesus? I
read the entire Koran once again: 114 chapters,
6666 in the Koran when I read it, the name of
prophet Muhammad. I found it in Koran 4 places,
but the name of Jesus I found in 25 places. There
itself, I was a little confused. Why does the Koran
give more preference to Jesus? And second thing,
I could not see any woman’s name in Koran: the
Prophet Muhammad’s mother’s name, or wife’s
name, no, in the Koran, there is only one
woman’s name that i found is Mariam, the mother
of Jesus no other woman’s name. And in the holy
Koran chapter 3, the name of the chapter is family
of Mariam,’’ and holy Koran chapter 19, the name
of the chapter itself is ‘’MARIAM’’ one chapter is
‘’MARIAM’’ so I was very curious to know why
does Koran says all these things about MARIAM,
holy Koran chapter 3 verse 34 onwards says that
Mary was born without original sin, she never
committed any sin in her life, she was ever virgin.
Koran chapter 50 verses 23 say that she went to
heaven with her physical body. Even the
assumption is writing in the holy Koran and then
about Jesus, when I read chapter 3 verses 45 to
55 verses, there is 10 point which the Koran
makes about Jesus. The first thing Koran says
(kallimatulli) the arabic word which means ‘’the of
God’’ and second thing is ( ahimokuli ) which
mean spirit of God and the third (isa masi) which
means Jesus Christ so Koran give the name for
Jesus WORD OF GOD, SPIRIT OF GOD, JESUS
CHRIST. And then Koran says that Jesus spoke
when he was very small, like 2 days old. after his
birth he began to speak , Koran says that Jesus
created a live bird with mud. He took some mud,
he formed a bird; when breathed into it, it became
a live bird. So I think Jesus can give life because
he gave life to mud, clay, and then Koran says
that Jesus cured a man born blind and a man with
leprosy, e.t.c
Curiously, the Koran says that Jesus gave life to
dead people; Jesus went to heaven; he is still
alive and he will come again. When I saw all
these things in the Koran I taught of what Koran
says about Muhammad, according to the Koran,
prophet Muhammad is not the word of God, not
spirit of God he never spoke when he was 2 days
old, he never created any bird with mud, he never
cure any sick people, he never raised any dead
people, he himself died, and according to Islam he
is not alive and he will not come back. So there is
a lot of different between these two prophets. I
didn’t call Jesus, God, you know my idea was ‘’He
is a prophet but he is a prophet greater than
Muhammad; so one day I went to my teacher, the
one who taught me 10 years in Arabic college,
and I ask him, teacher, how did God created the
universe? Then he said God created the universe
through the word,’’ THROUGH THE WORD. Then
my question is: ‘’WORD’’ is creator or creation?
He must clear this, my question is whether the
WORD of God is creator or creation. Koran says
Jesus is WORD of God. If my teacher says word
of God is creator, which means Jesus is the
creator, then muslim must become Christian
suppose if he says the word is creation he will be
trapped. You know why? He said everything was
created through the word. Suppose if he said the
word is creation, then how did God created the
word? So he cannot say that the word is creator,
or creation, so he was quite angry he push me out
of his room and said word is not God, not creator
or the creation you get out of here, ‘’he said The
reason why Muslim doesn’t accept to be Christian
is because they are blinded with the wrong
teaching of their priest, Imam. They said that the
word is creation they try to prove it wrongly……
they say the word is not creator, not the creation,
but not God. And no creation also. They don’t
equal with God, that all their problem. So when he
said that I told my teacher, word is not the
creator or the creation.’’ So, that is why Christian
says the word is son of God. Then he told me if
there is son for God, I must show him the wife of
God. That without wife no chance of having a son
then I showed him a portion from the Koran.
Koran says that God can see without eyes, God
can talk without tongue, God can hear without
ears. It is writing in the Koran. I said if that is the
case, so God can have a child without a wife. I
took my Koran, I put it on my chest, and I said
‘’Allah’’, tell me what I should do because your
Koran says Jesus is still alive, and Mohammad is
no more. Tell me whom should I accept.’’ after
my prayer I opened the Koran, I didn’t asked
anyone, I asked only my Allah. When I opened
Koran, I saw chapter 10 verses 94. You know
what Koran says? It says if you have any doubt
in this Koran which I give to you, go and read the
Bible, or ask the people, those who read the Bible.
The truth is already revealing that.
I beg all muslim to give their life to Christ because
he is the only way to the kingdom of God. Please
don’t perish like other muslims that is serving the
god they do not know. I welcome you into Christ
Jesus as you change your mind to accept him
today. God bless you.

THUS SAITH THE LORD SPECIAL 2014 PROPHECY TO NIGERIA
DAY 2 (DEC 17TH, 2014) By Tayo Ladejo
I will do a thing says the Lord from 2015, I will do a thing in the Nation of Nigeria, it will resound to the end of the earth. I will do a work of purging for the judgment day has come says the Spirit of God. I am going to break down and hewn down systems and structures, pillars that are not planted by the permission of the Father in heaven, whose root and foundation is not found on Christ the corner stone. I am coming to root it out, I will do the work of diminishing.There will be mass demolishing and mass collapse of gigantic empires, of denominations that have exceeded and transcended decadesand even centuries.
There will be mass collapse, great shall be the fall because of the day of the Lord is fierce and terrible says the Sprit, the day of the Lord has come, He has come to His church as purifier, and the sons of Levi shall be purged. I have first of all come to remove fortresses that have held my sons and daughters hostage, I have come to break the power of deceit, the control manipulation and every operation of witchcraft that have translated itself unto organizational structures and systems and systems in the earth, I will sweep it out and blow it away through the fire of my nostril says the Spirit of God.
Do you know In Nigeria, change is on the way, I sense in my Spirit, the Lord is sighting agents of change, there is this hidden generation in the midst of this nation, who are fierce, who will stand the eye of bullets and speak with conviction. The Lord is raising a generation that fear not death in this Nation, The Lord has His splinter cell of people that will stand for fairness and righteousness people that will insist change must come. And I perceive in my Spirit, the Lord has His splinter cell among the youth, among the younger generation, yet there is a vast number of corruptions among the youth and the younger generation, but the Lord has His splinter cell among them. He has them all over, the Lord has His splinter cell among the military.
The Lord will shake this nation, there is secret agenda heaven is preparing, I perceive in my Spirt it’s a 4 year agenda, the Lord will implement it in the earth, it will be radical, it will be a revolution that will be unstoppable, it will be a revolution that is going to set on fire and demolish the system and house of corruption in this land. It is going to destroy the house of Pharaoh, a spirit that has entrenched itself in the political system and in the economic system that is an occultic movement, That spirit is fierce, that spirit sucks blood, that spirit is eating up the future of this nation even unbornchildren, and the Lord knows it, and He has allowed the tares to grow among the wheat until harvest, harvest time has come upon Nigeria, it’s the season and time of sorting out says the Spirit of God and I will send forth the fire of my fury to sort things out says the Spirit of God.
I perceive in my spirit, the Lord is going to bring togethera league of kings, we will see the battle of kings. The Lord spoke about that sometimes ago,but we will see the battle of kings, and that time has come, there will be serious contentions, there will be a lot and a lot of maneuvering among the kings of the earth in this nation, there will be lot of maneuvering, there will be lot of betrayal, there will be lot of murdering and killing and plots. In the midst of that, the Lord will arise and cause all His enemy to be scattered.
I perceive after this forceful movement of the wind of the Spirit in the nation, the Lord is going to let loose the spirit of the builders, the Lord will begin to rebuild the frontier of this land and rebuild the fallen system, and rebuild attitude and mindset and rebuild structures and systems in schools and rebuild structure and systems in different facets of life. I will lay a new foundation for a new nation in Nigeria.
The election year will be interesting.A lot of voting will take place, a lot of voting and revolting, cancelations after cancelations, it’s going to be a long ride, it is going to be very interesting. It’s going to be a sort of election that this nation has not witnessed before. Nigeria during the election year will become the attention point of the nations and a lot of things that take place in the secret will be exposed. Even in this election year, the forces behind Boko Haram will be exposed. Unfortunately, terrorism through Boko Haram have been very deadly and massacre by nature and has taken the lives of so many innocent people citizen of this nation, but I am sorry to let you know by the Spirit of God that this time when this horror is being unleashed upon this nation is an act of Gods judgment, it’s a mark of disapproval upon the leadership of this nation, not necessarily President Goodluck Jonathan, but the system that gave birth to him and the seat upon that which he is enthroned.
