Oban - The first "Digital Village" in Nigeria was inaugurated on
Thursday by Samsung Electronics West Africa in collaboration
with UNESCO in Oban Community, Akamkpa Local
Government Area of Cross River.

The village will provide access to the world's most advanced
information and communication technologies, education and
health services to under-resourced areas.

The facility is also expected to bridge the digital divide and
serve as a catalyst for local business development and
government service delivery.

Speaking at the occasion, Brovo Kim, the Managing Director
of Samsung Electronics West Africa, observed that some
rural areas Africa lacked electricity.

He said that such communities were also challenged by limited
access to education, health care and connectivity, as
necessary components of their socio-economic development.

"We are not only bridging the digital divide but also providing
a facility that meets the most critical health and education
needs of the rural community," Kim said.

"In addition to providing the appropriate technologies,
Samsung is also working to ensure that the people of the
Oban Community take ownership of the digital village and
receive adequate training to optimise use of facilities.

"Samsung believes that technology is a powerful tool to
change these circumstances, improve and create a better
society," he said.

Governor Liyel Imoke of Cross River expressed commitment
to the project, which he said was worth more than N160
million. Imoke, who spoke through the Special Adviser on
International Donor Support, Mr Roy Ndoma-Egba, advised
the people of Akamkpa to protect the project.

He also thanked Samsung for their support.
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Health, Elder
Edem I. Edem, promised that the project would be sustained.

Lagos - The Oba of Lagos, Oba Riliwan Akiolu has
confirmed that there was a rift between Governor
Babatunde Fashola and his predecessor,Bola Tinubu ,
reports Thisday.

The Oba said he had to intervene when his attention
was called to the bitter row between the two.
He accused sycophants within the All Progressives
Congress (APC) of instigating the fight between Tinubu
and Fashola.

The monarch who spoke at the Blue Roof venue of an
event marking the 2 900 days in office of Governor
Fashola stated that it took his intervention, and the
grace of God to reconcile the two.

It will be recalled that there have been many
unconfirmed reports that there were serious
disagreements between Tinubu and Fashola towards the
end of Fashola’s first term in office.

Thank You Femi. For Buhari to probe the phantom $20b and the Petroleum Industry means he has to probe the FRCN indictment on Emir Sanusi. He has to probe the NNPC of 1977-1979, he had to audit NNPC account from 1999 to 2015, he has to probe PTF, he has to probe the $12b Oil Windfall of IBB, he has to probe the Abacha family, he has to probe Obasanjo spending of N1.3trn for electricity alone with nothing to show. He has to probe the PTDF allegation and indictment against obasanjo and Atiku. He has to probe the indictment against El Rufai while he hled sway as BPE boss and FCT Minister...There are lots of probes to be done. Baba we are waiting

Seconded!

NO doubt about it, the North betrayed Goodluck Jonathan in
the last election. The greatest ally of the North in Nigerian
politics has been the South-South. Therefore, it was not
asking too much for Jonathan to expect the North to return
the favour under his administration; when he is clearly
carrying the mantle of the South-South.

Jonathan did not take Northern support for granted. In his
six years in office, he spent the overwhelming proportion of
resources at his disposal on the North. The $1 billion
Kashimbila Dam, one of the biggest projects handled by his
administration, is in Taraba in the North. Jonathan built over
150 Almajiri schools in the North. He revived Nigerian
agriculture, to the primary benefit of Northern farmers.

Most of Jonathan’s political appointees were Northern. He
entrusted a Northerner, Attahiru Jega, with INEC, bucking
the tradition whereby INEC chairmen tend to come from the
South-East. When the North complained about the Chief of
Army Staff, Azubuike Ihejirika, Jonathan replaced him. When
the North complained about Festus Odimegwu at the National
Population Commission, Jonathan fired him. Nevertheless,
when the election time came, the North betrayed Jonathan
and the South-South
.
Northern PDP governors secretly worked for Buhari’s
victory. In Jigawa, Sule Lamido only paid lip-service to
Jonathan’s campaign. In Bauchi, Isa Yuguda watched as
Jonathan’s campaign train was stoned. In Niger, Babangida
Aliyu did not care that no Jonathan poster was placed
anywhere in the state throughout the campaign. The blunder
of these recalcitrant governors was in thinking they could be
lackadaisical about the PDP at the federal level, but
passionate about the PDP at the state level. They all ended
up losing their states to the APC.

Retracting on promises

In order not to scare off dodgy members of his party with
his anti-corruption rhetoric, Buhari promised to let corrupt
sleeping dogs lie if elected. APC party chairman, John Oyegun,
declared that Buhari would not waste time going after
embezzlers of public funds before 29th May, 2015. He said:
“The future of the people of this country is too important
for us to spend valuable time trying to dig into the past.”

But now that the election has been won, Buhari no longer
feels any obligation to keep his word. Instead, he said on TV
Continental that, unlike the Quran and the Bible, the APC
position during the election is subject to change. The signs
indicate that the APC is now inclined to engage in a vicious
propaganda campaign of maligning the Jonathan administration
and the South-South through mud-slinging probes.

Buhari now says he will revisit the issue of the allegedly
missing $20 billion from NNPC accounts. He said in Hausa to
his Northern constituency: “Imagine a situation where the
former CBN governor, who by God‘s grace, is now the Emir
of Kano, raised an issue of missing billions of money, not in
naira but in dollars, $20 billion. What happened, instead of
investigating whether it was true, they simply found a reason
to remove him.”

In short, in spite of the forensic audit of NNPC accounts by
the prestigious PriceWaterhouseCoopers, which concluded no
money was missing, Buhari has already declared Diezani and
the NNPC guilty and Lamido Sanusi innocent. He claims the
matter was not investigated, which means
PriceWaterhouseCoopers is not good enough for him. Who is
he now going to ask to conduct a new probe when we
already know the answer he wants?

Witch- hunting

What we have here is the beginning of a witch-hunt. One of
the first questions of interest is where Buhari’s oil minister is
going to come from. Within the context of the cynical view
that the insistence of a cabal that power must return to the
North is not unconnected to pending oil bloc allocations, the
question remains whether our new oil minister must also be
from the North.

In Nigeria, the FCT Minister is always from the North.
However, the oil minister is not always from the South. The
North has no oil, but it longs to control the lucrative oil
industry. Under Jonathan, oil minister Diezani Allison-Madueke
has come under prolonged attacks and harassment, not only
because she is a woman, but also because she is from the
South-South.

Under Yar’Adua, the Petroleum Minister, Dr Rilwanu Lukman
was from Kaduna. The Group Managing Director of the
NNPC, Sanusi Barkindo, was from Adamawa. The Director-
General of the National Petroleum Directorate, Alhaji Bello
Gusau, was from Zamfara. The Executive-Secretary of the
Petroleum Technology Development Fund, Mustapha Rabe
Darma, was from Katsina. Are we in for a Northernisation of
the oil industry again under Buhari?

If Buhari is now determined to probe the oil ministry under
South-South stewardship, contrary to his campaign promise; he
must also probe it under South-West stewardship. President
Obasanjo doubled as his own oil minister for eight years. If
Buhari is now going to probe Diezani, then he must probe his
new ally, Obasanjo, as well? Otherwise, if care is not taken,
Buhari’s war against corruption will quickly divide Nigeria
along ethnic fault-lines.

Once you decide to probe the Jonathan administration, the
Niger-Delta is going to insist on a probe of the Obasanjo
administration. Once you probe the PDP, which represents
Southern rule, there is going to be insistence that you probe
Northern rule. Should Buhari decide to probe NNPC, the issue
of his own tenure as petroleum minister and the 2.8 billion
saga will also be brought up. He cannot apply today the
discriminatory standard he used yesterday, whereby vice-
president Ekwueme languished in jail while president Shagari
relaxed under house arrest.

If our president-elect wants to stay true to his election
campaign promise, he should stick to the issue of passing the
Petroleum Industry Bill expeditiously, instead of opening the
Pandora’s Box of NNPC probes. He should also look into the
whole process of dismantling the NNPC itself, and selling it
off. Hankering after the past suggests the APC is bereft of
innovative policy ideas. Witch-hunting Diezani is no substitute
for lack of policy.

Press censorship

The first thing General Buhari did on seizing power in 1984
was to declare in a television interview his determination to
“tamper with the press.” The first thing he has done this time
around, even before being sworn in as president, was to
seek to impose a ban on the AIT. AIT is one of the press
houses that did not support him during the election campaign.
Moreover, it is owned by Raymond Dokpesi, a South-South
man.

History, they say, has a tendency to repeat itself. Those of
us who were adults during the first coming of General Buhari
took great pains to warn Nigerians of his antecedents. Those
too young to know about him were convinced we were
making up stories. Others denied the relevance of Buhari’s
pedigree. One man tweeted: “Even if PDP shows a video of
Tinubu and Buhari on AIT robbing the Central Bank of
Nigeria, it won’t change our minds.”

A cease-and-desist order on Buhari’s censorship of AIT came
thankfully from APC Central. Sane minds prevailed from the
party’s headquarters, mindful that any attempt to curb the
press this time around is likely to end Buhari’s honeymoon
with the media immediately. Suffice to say the press operates
everywhere as a tight union. Attack on one is deemed an
attack on all.

APC-friendly press houses had a field day maligning Jonathan
for over five years. No one tried to muzzle them. APC itself
came up with all sorts of lies. APC publicity secretary for
Lagos State, Joe Igbokwe, wrote a libelous and defamatory
article against me entitled: “Behold the Wind Chaser called
Femi Aribisala.” Igbokwe claimed I am a registered member of
the PDP, which is false. Among other lies, he said: “In Osun
Femi and his robbery gang came with helicopters, guns,
bombs, jackboots, tanks etc. but ordinary people with bare
hands stopped their open robbery.”

I was not in Osun during the 2014 gubernatorial election. I
have no robbery gang. I have no helicopters, guns, jackboots,
or tanks. I could have sued Igbokwe for all he has got. But I
decided to let it pass. However, until called to order, our
president-elect seems inclined to use the apparatus of the
state to settle personal scores. This is a bad omen about his
incoming administration.

Election offenders

The same discrimination is already evident in the president-
elect’s stated position vis-à-vis election offenders. President
Jonathan was magnanimous enough to concede defeat in a
flawed election. But APC is not prepared to let sleeping dogs
lie. Despite now holding sway in 22 states to PDP’s 13, the
APC continues to cause trouble everywhere. Once it is not
declared the winner, the election must have been rigged.

The president-elect has joined the fray. He proclaimed his
determination to prosecute election offenders. But he only
enunciated this policy with reference states where APC is
currently disputing the results. Accordingly, he instructed the
governors of Edo, Imo and Rivers to document all offences
alleged to have been committed.

These states happen to be those with APC governors; and in
the South-South and South-East where the APC was routed.
Are we going to get corresponding prosecutions in cases in
the North, including the president’s home state of Katsina
where, surprise surprise, more ghost-voters came out of the
woodwork to vote in the lackluster governorship election
than in the high-profile presidential election?

Mr. President-elect should be reminded that he is going to be
president of all Nigerians; including especially those who did not
vote for him. He should be very careful how he treats the
South-South. Without a doubt, nerves are much frayed now in
that geopolitical zone; which also happens to be the economic
jugular of Nigeria
.
My advice to him, for what it is worth, is that he should
leave the sons and daughters of the South-South alone.
Thanks to President Jonathan, we have just missed the bullet
of the much anticipated post-election turmoil. This is no time
to start stepping injudiciously on South-South toes in the
name of anti-corruption. Upheaval in the South-South will be
far more economically devastating for Nigeria, and for his
vaunted presidential agenda, than what we have experienced
under the onslaught of Boko Haram.

Abuja - Some Peoples Democratic Party chieftains are
putting pressure on President Goodluck Jonathan to
consider re-contesting for the presidency in 2019,
reports Sahara Reporters.

The chieftains noted that it was the party and not the
President that failed in the 2015 general elections.
They lay the defeat of President Jonathan in the
March 28 presidential election on the doorsteps of
members of the party’s National Working Committee
(NWC), who refused to work assiduously to help
President Jonathan win the election.

The chieftains are pushing for the re-organization of
the party to pave the way for the emergence of
President Jonathan as the party’s candidate in the
2019 presidential election.

One of President Jonathan’s close allies, Governor of
Cross River state, Liyel Imoke, is being tipped to
become the new chairman of the party.

Psychology math of real life

There are indications that the All Progressives
Congress is uncomfortable with the May 28
handover date proposed by the out-going
administration.

Investigation by Saturday PUNCH revealed that
the outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan and
the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
(retd.) are set to clash over a proposal by the
Jonathan team to hand over the mantle of
leadership to Buhari on May the 28th, instead of
the 29th.

Saturday PUNCH gathered that the Buhari team
was already over what they considered as an act
of ill-will laced with sinister motives.
This is sequel to an announcement by the
Minister of Information, Senator Patricia
Akwashiki, that President Jonathan would
perform the handover ceremony at a dinner on
May 28.

Akwashiki made the announcement after
Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting.
She told journalists, “By May 28, the President
intends to have the formal handover done at a
dinner so that we can reserve May 29 for the
incoming government.”

However, since the return of democracy in 1999,
the traditional date for the handover of power
has been May 29, which is also observed as
Democracy Day.

This tradition has been the vogue for the past 16
years. It also presents an opportunity for the
outgoing President to formally present the
instrument of authority to his successor in the
full glare of members of the public, local and
international media, as well as foreign
dignitaries.

A top member of the All Progressives Congress,
who spoke on condition of anonymity because
he was not authorised to speak to the media
said, “It is simply not acceptable, we are
rejecting it, it is a trap.”

He explained that from a security point of view, it
could be considered a trap.

“How can anyone explain a situation where an
outgoing president and his team will
conveniently excuse themselves from an event
where they are supposed to play a role when the
President-elect and the Vice-President- elect are
supposed to be present?” he queried.

According to the party chieftain, power abhors a
vacuum as such, the constitution does not
envisage a situation where Nigeria will be
without a sitting President even for one hour.

He said, “If Jonathan hands over on the 28th,
who accounts for the hours before the morning
of the 29th when the Chief Justice of the
Federation is to administer the oath of office and
the oath of allegiance?

“What if there is even a sinister motive to this
whole saga? As the President of the nation; who
will still be the Chief Security officer until he
hands over, there is no excuse that is strong
enough to excuse him from the event.”

When contacted, a member of the Buhari
campaign team, Mr. Rotimi Fashakin, said while
he was not privy to any meeting on the subject
yet, it was only logical to ask Nigerians not to
rest on their oars until total liberation was
achieved.

He described the announcement by President
Jonathan to hand over a day earlier than was
due as a ploy to rubbish the gains made with the
historic win by the opposition APC.

Fashakin said, “It (the proposed handover on the
28th) portends ill for the political destiny of this
nation.

“That statement is loaded and it shows that the
Nigerian people should not rest yet that there is
still ominous signs which we should never take
for granted. If Jonathan truly said he is handing
over on the 28th it presupposes that he will be
absent on the 29th.

“Number one, if he hands over on the 28th to the
President-elect, does Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
start to act effectively on that date? The answer
is an emphatic NO.

“GMB does not start to act on that date, if you
get what I mean. Handing over to GMB on that
date is not only meaningless, it is stupid. It has
no meaning in law, or reality. It means that for
24 hours before GMB takes over there will be a
vacuum.”

He further argued that on the side of morality,
Nigeria borrowed its constitution substantially
from the American Constitution, and as such, it
should learn a thing or two about how it
operates.

He said there was never a time in recorded
history where an outgoing American President,
who is hale and hearty, will absent himself from
the handover ceremony of his successor no
matter their political differences.

Although, it is not yet clear how the Buhari team
would handle “this threat,” it was learnt that the
party’s legal team is being put on notice to be
on the alert.

It was also gathered that the President-elect and
his team have kept the issue of ministerial
appointments in abeyance.

A member of the party’s National Working
Committee, who pleaded for anonymity because
he was not authorised to speak to the media,
said, “The general is a meticulous person and we
all know that the main task before us now is the
transition committee. The issue of who will be
minister has been kept in abeyance.”

When contacted to speak on the president-
elect’s views on the handover date and
appointments, the APC National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said, “You will
get our reaction later after due consultation.”
Attempts to speak with the Minister of
Information proved abortive. She was not in the
office when our correspondent visited. However,
the Personal Assistant to the Minister on Media,
Mr. Joseph Mutah, promised to get in touch with
her and revert to our correspondent.

He had yet to do that as of the time of going to
the press and when his mobile number was
called, he did not pick the call.

The Information Minister had also after the FEC
meeting said the President had directed all
Ministries, Departments and Agencies to prepare
their handover notes and submit them to the
Secretary to the Government of the Federation,
Pius Anyim, on or before Monday.

According to her, it is Anyim’s responsibility to
compile the notes, which will form Jonathan’s
handover document to Buhari on May 28.

She had said, “You know May 29 is our
Democracy Day. So, we have activities lined up
all through that week, showcasing all what we
have achieved and all other things we do
normally on our Democracy Day except that this
year is special with the inauguration of our new
President that is coming up on May 29.”

The minister said the valedictory FEC meeting
would hold on May 20, adding that everything
that required the President’s approval must have
been presented to him by May 13.

Meanwhile, two Senior Advocates of Nigeria,
Sebastian Hon and Joseph Nwobike, on Friday,
disagreed on the appropriateness of President
Goodluck Jonathan’s decision to hand over on
May 28 instead of May 29 when his four-year
tenure will statutorily end.

The two lawyers spoke with one of our
correspondents in separate telephone interviews.
Hon insisted that the best option was for the
President to hand over on May 29 as past
presidents had done.

But Nwobike said nothing was unconstitutional in
the president’s decision as handing over is a
process that would end with the inauguration of
the incoming president on May 29.

Nwobike said, “Handing over is a process and
not an event. So the paper work will be done on
May 28 and the formalisation and the completion
will occur on May 29. So there is clearly nothing
unconstitutional about it.”

But Hon queried the basis for the President’s
plan to hand over on May 28 as doing such on
May 29 as it is usually done would not affect the
nation’s democracy.

He said, “The best and the most appropriate
thing to do is for President Jonathan to hand
over at 12.01am of the morning of May 29,
2015.

“If he hands over before May 29, it means he is
no longer the president. He should hand over by
12.01am of May 29 or do as the usual practice
by 7am in the past. It will not be late if it is
done by 7am on the morning of May 29.

“Remember that all former presidents took over
on the morning of May 29. If he does that,
nobody will query him and the transition will not
be truncated.”

Erudite lawyer and human rights activist, Femi Falana, SAN, has faulted the decision of President Goodluck Jonathan to formally handover to President-elect Muhammadu Buhari on May 28, noting that it would create a power vacuum for the few hours between when he hands over and the morning of May 29 when his successor will be formally sworn-in as the president.

Just yesterday, Minister of Information, Mrs. Patricia Akwashiki, while briefing State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, disclosed that President Jonathan would formally handover to his successor, Muhammadu Buhari on May 28 at a dinner.

She added that he had directed all ministries, departments and agencies, MDAs, of the federal government to submit their handover briefs to the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, on or before April 20.

But speaking on the May 28 handover date preferred by Jonathan, the Senior Advocate asserted that the new date was a deviation from the law as a void would be created should he go ahead and handover before Buhari’s swearing in.

According to him, “As far as the law is concerned, President Jonathan is in charge of the country until May 29. He cannot cut short his presidency in the name of handing over the day before at a dinner, as there is no provision for a vacuum.

“He is the president till the morning of May 29 when Buhari takes the oath of office. There is no provision for a vacuum of eight or nine hours, and I am sure the president will be properly advised,” Falana stated.

Constitutional Disaster.

For there’s nothing hidden that won’t be
disclosed, and nothing hid that won’t be
recognized or introduced out into the
open” (Luke eight: 17) thus “Don’t have
anything to do with the fruitless deeds of
darkness, however relatively expose
them (as a result of) It’s shameful even
to say what the disobedient do in
secret” (Ephesians 5: eleven-12).

Congratulations to retired Common
Muhammadu Buhari of the All
Progressive Congress (APC) and his
operating mate, Professor Yemi Osinbajo
for being elected as president and vice-
president respectively of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria. I felicitate with
Nigerians everywhere in the world and
Africans normally for the anticipated
orderly switch of energy for the primary
time from an incumbent to an
opposition presidential candidate in
Africa’s most populous nation on earth.
The election of retired Gen Buhari as
president-elect didn’t come to us as a
shock. As I identified in my prediction
for the Yr 2015, which was revealed on
this column in December 2014, inter alia;
“…President Goodluck Jonathan
shouldn’t try and contest for the 2015
Presidential Election. If he does, not
solely will he lose, he will even be
humiliated. Lots of these he has
surrounded himself with are principally
deceiving him. All of the vows he made
to the Lord when he was preventing for
his political life in 2010 and when he
contested the 2011 presidential election
haven’t been stored, based on the Lord.

We aren’t speaking of political
guarantees or manifestoes right here,
however vows he made when he was
prayed for and stated he would do for
the Lord. Hear the phrases of the Lord to
you, Mr. Jonathan: “Whenever you make
a vow to God, don’t delay to satisfy it. He
has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your
vow,” (Ecclesiastes 5: four). The Lord
stated Mr. Jonathan had performed his
half within the historical past of Nigeria
and will retire to Otuoke, Bayelsa State
with honor and humility in 2015.

Nevertheless, he’s being deceived by
some forces, particularly those that
suggested him to embark on Holy
Pilgrimage to Israel as a means of
profitable the presidential election
subsequent yr. He also needs to not
succumb to forces telling him to belong
to a secret society as a way to guarantee
his election victory in 2015. The Lord
stated Jonathan is being deceived and
shouldn’t succumb to such lies and
deceptions.” We warned once more in
one other letter to Outgoing President
Jonathan in a separate open letter
addressed to him and reiterated what
the Holy Spirit of the True Lord God
Almighty confirmed to us. As lately as
ten days in the past, we warned and
guaranteed President Jonathan he would
lose the Saturday March 28, 2015
presidential election in Nigeria, although
it was rescheduled from Saturday
February 14, 2015 and that has come to
move.

*President-elect Muhammadu Buhari:
Have to be cautious between now and
Inauguration Day on Saturday Might 29,
2015.

Now we’ve got a president-elect and vice
chairman-elect, towards all odds and the
doomsday predictions about Nigeria.
Whereas we’re all celebrating the
triumph of the desire of the generality of
Nigerians in entrusting the affairs of the
Nigerian nation into the regular arms of
retired Gen. Muhmmadu Buhari, as
evinced by the outcomes of the simply-
concluded Saturday March 28, 2015
presidential election, I need to sound an
pressing alarm and a well timed
warning to Nigerians that, if we aren’t
spiritually alert, our pleasure could also
be brief-lived. Within the midst of the
present jollification, properly-deserved
revelry, excessive-fives and nationwide
Kumbaya, Outgoing President Goodluck
Jonathan has conceded defeat and has
referred to as on our president-elect to
congratulate him. All former heads of
state, captains of business, the shakers
and movers and Nigeria’s political cum
socio-financial gurus and “murkety
murks” have began trooping in to pledge
their loyalty and help for the New Man.
The APC is rejoicing and the PDP which
as soon as touted itself as the most
important political social gathering in
Black Africa is hemorrhaging politically
and lots of of their wheeler-sellers at the
moment are endangered species. Many
will quickly head to political Siberia and
Nigeria won’t be the identical. Whereas
outgoing President Jonathan has been
magnanimous in defeat and there are
plaudits around the globe for his sleek
exit and statesmanlike disposition, I
warn Nigerians not be sucked in and
deceived. The APC and majority of
Nigerians have simply gained a political
conflict, however there’s going to be an
intense religious warfare by no means
seen within the historical past of Nigeria
for the normal orderly switch of energy
to happen. President Goodluck Jonathan
and his gang aren’t able to go down like
this; Nigerians shouldn’t be deceived and
retired Gen Buhari shouldn’t be sucked
in and bamboozled both by all these
congratulatory messages coming in from
all instructions. The True Lord God
Almighty is who He’s: probably the most
highly effective by way of the Holy Spirit
and He simply spoke to us as He does all
the time and He by no means misses.

Our Lord Jesus Christ informed the
Apostles in Acts 1: four: “Don’t depart
Jerusalem, however watch for the
present my Father promised, which you
will have heard me discuss.” The Lord
was referring to the Holy Spirit (Holy
Ghost). With out Him, the apostles and
by extension, all true servants and real
youngsters of God can’t perform and do
the work of the Father right here on
earth. One of many primary features of
the Holy Spirit within the life of each
redeemed baby of the Dwelling God is in
John sixteen: thirteen: “However when
he, the (Holy) Spirit of fact, comes, he’ll
information you into all the reality…and
he’ll inform you what’s but to return.”

The which means of “…what’s but to
return” is known as prophecy and as
Revelation 19: 10 aptly says; “the
testimony of Jesus is the spirit of
prophecy.” The True Lord God Almighty
spoke to the prophets of previous and He
nonetheless speaks to us in the present
day. He is identical yesterday, at the
moment and perpetually.

There are three issues that the enemies
of Nigeria and people nonetheless
exhausting-assed towards the presidency
of Gen Buhari have on floor and have
deliberate final yr and are ready to
implement between now and Friday
Might 29, 2015 to stop retired Gen
Muhammadu Buhari and Prof Yemi
Osinbajo from being sworn in as
president and vice-president
respectively. It’s not over till it’s over.

There are sinister plans and malevolent
units afoot by the brokers of darkness
and harbingers of wraith in our
fatherland. These are usually not
conspiracy theories. They’re actual and
if Nigerians, the APC and President-elect
Buhari dismiss these warnings with a
wave of the hand, we’ll all reside to
remorse it. Whereas briefing journalists
through the British sterling financial
disaster in 1964, Prime Minister Harold
Wilson of Nice Britain stated: “Every
week is a very long time in politics.” I
guess Nigerians that 60 days (between
now and Might 29, 2015) is extra like
eternity. I’ll now state step-by-step the
three plans or what I check with as
Choice A, B and C in stopping a Buhari
Presidency in any respect prices. The
primary Choice has simply handed, after
the satanic brokers toyed with the
incendiary concept of banning Buhari
from contesting the presidency by way of
the judicial course of failed. Truly, the
decide(s) that have been enlisted for the
soiled job backed out citing the equally
incendiary backlash that may
accompany the thought towards the
backdrop of the hearth of change
hurricane burning throughout the size
and breadth of Nigeria. The hawkish
forces and their retired backers pushed
forcefully for this feature, however the
dovish forces canvassed for the
electioneering fixing choice. All of the
political plans failed regardless of the
election fixing plans forcing Jonathan to
develop into nicely-mannered. Jonathan
demonstrated to the entire world he’s a
democrat and a properly-behaved and
civilized man when he referred to as the
president-elect to congratulate him on
his election victory. All of us hailed him
and even sympathized with him as an
excellent man and a jolly good fellow for
conceding so shortly. “He’s such an
honorable man and really civilized,”
many people stated. Nigerians, please
don’t be deceived. In Genesis 6: 5 we’re
informed: “The LORD noticed how nice
the wickedness of the human race had
develop into on the earth, and that each
inclination of the ideas of the human
coronary heart was solely evil on a
regular basis.” The person who fought
and gave all he needed to retain his seat
all through the electioneering marketing
campaign; went to all of the cults within
the land and sought the voodoo retailers
of the world to retain his seat three
months in the past has all of a sudden
turn out to be soothingly mollified in
lower than 24 hours? There’s extra that’s
happening past the general public glare
which the Lord God Almighty is aware
of, as a result of earlier than Him all
actions of human beings are laid naked.

Hear what the Lord God Almighty
informed Jeremiah in Jeremiah 17: 9;
“The human coronary heart is probably
the most deceitful of all issues, and
desperately depraved. Who actually is
aware of how dangerous it’s?” (NLT).

However solely the Sovereign Lord of the
heavens and the earth and the Creator of
all issues, together with human beings is
aware of the human coronary heart and
chooses to unearth and reveal it to His
youngsters. President Goodluck Jonathan
should have conceded defeat and
congratulated President-elect
Muhammadu Buhari, however solely 10
% of his physique is in Otuoke; eighty %
of his spirit and physique are inside Aso
Rock. Highly effective Satanic forces
have informed him he ought to and
won’t stay Aso Rock and this brings us to
Choice B as revealed to us by the Holy
Spirit of the True Lord God Almighty.

As I’m scripting this in my house
workplace right here in Chicago beneath
the dictate of the Holy Spirit as I plan to
proceed on my annual trip, a search is
on for a lady or a younger boy as a
suicide bomber to penetrate the house
and workplaces of the President-elect
Buhari and blow himself-herself up and
kill President-elect Muhammadu Buhari.

If the president-elect dies earlier than
Friday Might 29, 2015 with out being
sworn-in, there’s going to be a
constitutional disaster. What does the
structure say concerning the swearing in
of a vice chairman-elect whose
principal, the president-elect hasn’t been
sworn in? Can Prof Yemi Osinbajo be
sworn in within the place of a lifeless
(God forbid) president-elect
Muhammadu Buhari? These are the
crises we could have on our arms and
such crises won’t be readily and
instantly resolved in 60 days. Within the
various, President Jonathan could also be
pressured to proceed in workplace till
one other election is held. That was why
he conceded shortly to endear himself
into the hearts of Nigerians now, who
won’t thoughts placing up with him for
extra years towards the backdrop of the
emergency state of affairs that may come
up., however about to be created by
these malevolent forces. These evil plots
are actual and I don’t disclose them
frivolously. The Nigerian Structure is
obvious: Gen Muhammadu Buhari is
only a president-elect; he hasn’t been
sworn in but because the president of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria and so
his vice chairman can’t take-over from
him both within the occasion of him
being killed (God forbid). In such a
horrible, dreadful and nationwide tragic
state of affairs, we’re again to sq. one
and the established order. Right here is
my recommendation: President-elect
Muhammadu Buhari ought to overhaul
his present safety paraphernalia now
and instantly. His entry to one and all
must be extraordinarily minimized. If a
suicide bomber can’t be discovered, a
deranged gun man or lady whose
household can be promised mouth-
watering sum of money is being sourced
as I’m scripting this by way of the
dictate of the Holy Spirit to tug a set off
and shoot our president-elect. It isn’t
proper to show our future First Woman,
Aisha Buhari right into a widow due to
politics, however these forces are lethal
and imply. That is actual struggle,
people. I’m not making all this stuff up.

President-elect Muhammadu Buhari is a
retired soldier and a military common so
he ought to know what to do. Sufficient
stated on this.

The final Choice which is Choice C has
been used prior to now and it labored.
The forces of darkness are about to wield
it however it’s going to fail if President-
elect Buhari takes it significantly and act
as revealed to us by the Holy Spirit.

Throughout this Transition Interval
between now and Friday Might 29, 2015
culminating within the swearing-in and
inauguration, President-elect Buhari will
of necessity be invited to Aso Rock to
satisfy with the outgoing President
Jonathan as it’s regular in administrative
and political change of guards. The Holy
Spirit confirmed me what’s afoot to
knock President-elect Buhari off; he
shouldn’t drink tea or something, not
even drink water when he’s invited into
Aso Rock Villa between now and
Inauguration Day, Friday Might 29,
2015. Whether it is attainable, I’ll advise
President-elect Muhamadu Buhari to
permit his foot troopers and future
administration officers solely to serve
within the Transition Staff with out him
going to Aso Rock for now. In truth, my
trustworthy and candid recommendation
to President-elect Muhammadu Buhari is
to avoid that Villa between now and his
inauguration day onFriday Might 29,
2015 whether it is potential. The Lord
God Almighty confirmed me the incident
of the tea that was given to the late Chief
MKO Abiola which killed him on July 08,
1998 a month after the demise of Gen
Sani Abacha. I couldn’t move the
message out to his relations, as a result
of I too was incarcerated on the dreaded
Directorate of Army Intelligence (DMI),
Apapa, Lagos by late Sani Abacha. The
one individual I might share it with
tangentially was Uncle Olabiyi Durojaiye,
who later turned a senator after the
demise of Sani Abacha. Uncle Biyi had
requested me if Chief MKO Abiola would
ultimately turn into president following
the demise of Sani Abacha on June 08,
1998 and I informed Chief Durojaiye that
Chief MKO Abiola wouldn’t turn into
president and he was more likely to be
killed by poison in 1998. That equipment
has been activated proper now as Choice
C by the extant satanic forces and
demonic brokers holding Nigeria hostage
that the Lord God Almighty needs to
make use of Buhari and Osinbajo to
dislodge. The truth is, Outgoing President
Jonathan himself will not be conscious of
the presence of those fifth columnists
inside Aso Rock. There are a number of
issues within the offing in Nigeria this
yr, together with many recognized and
common Nigerians that may die. I can’t
delve into all that proper now because
the Holy Spirit has revealed to me,
however a few of these monumental
occasions which might be within the
offing had been disclosed in my
Predictions and Prophecies for 2015
which I launched final yr December.

However these Satanic plans are the
quick ones that ought to interact the eye
of the President-elect proper now. Our
future First Woman, Aisha Buhari ought
to step up the plate proper now and take
private cost of what the President-elect
eats from now until inauguration day on
Friday Might 29, 2015. I’ve discharged
my obligation as a real man of God. I
pray that Peace be unto Nigerians and
the Lord God Almighty will bless our
President-elect and vice-president elect
together with their quick relations and
the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Jesus
Mighty Identify, Amen.

It is an abomination for an Oba to apologize in public. That's why the best that can be done is for others to apologize on his behalf

@aderonila, I know that. But that has not stop me from airing my opinion.

You speak maturely. I don't think same thing can be said of @whitecat. His utterances up there are totally unbecoming. Ki lo de toyen?

It's high time Civics is brought back into our educational system.

I cannot imagine someone coming here, social media, and be typing things and wishing another person unimaginable words and personal abuses just because the other person's opinions are not the same as theirs.

Eko Ile (home training) is very essential these days.

Devil will destroy your entire family for saying the king should come out and apologize, may Sango strike you, oloriburuku! It will never augur well for you and your entire family. may misfortune of great proportion visit you, oloshi!
May the gods of Yorubaland share your flesh and drink your blood!

And if you are a Yoruba, May the ground of Oodua land be too hot for you to step on, were! omo ale jati jati!

Ko le to yen!

If you go to school and was schooled in knowledge, you will understand what "opinion" means. I don't trade words with people.

And yes, I am YORUBA.

One of the things that make a great leader is in his ability to be HUMBLE, take responsibility and when in error, APOLOGISE!

So many people, groups have been coming out trying to cover the king's unwarranted and unsolicited utterances, (I have seen the video).

In my opinion, the king should come out, take responsibility of his utterances and APOLOGISE.

saying SORRY, honestly, hurts no one.

Hahaha. Proudly Naija!

**in Sam Loco Efe's voice**

When a red cap (crown) is placed on a useless head.

That is the situation of things @obaoflagos

One "joke" too expensive.
