At our wedding, me and you. I think in your line too on this issue. I posted the link and titled it just as it was on that blog, I wasn't putting words in his mouth. How are you?

Nuezha: Hello. When lawyers get angry over their clients case in court they don't really mean it. In other words they're saying, who cares how judgement swings, I got paid already.
I made my point.
'I no holy pass'
Lots of love bro.

Ma guy am humbled. Sorry if I sounded harsh. PEACE PEACE PEACE

Dame Patience, Our President’s Darling Wife- An Opinion By Reuben Abati In 2010

DEMOCRACY is readily associated with freedom: the freedom to be free in many respects and increasingly in Nigeria, many of our compatriots, particularly persons in positions of privilege and authority confuse this with the right to be disagreeable. The sober truth is that democracy is about rights and responsibilities, a democratic dispensation therefore cannot be a licence for disagreeable conduct as a norm; just as the possession of power in any form does not guarantee the right to be reckless or to ignore the etiquette required of office holders. Anyone in the corridors of power, either by chance or right, or appointment, is expected to behave decorously.

Dame Patience Jonathan, as she is now referred to, our President’s wife, failed the test this week in Okrika, Rivers State. It is trite knowledge that there is a critical difference between Yenagoa and Abuja, and a world of difference between being the wife of a Deputy Governor/Governor/Vice president and being the wife of Nigeria’s No 1 citizen. When people suddenly find themselves in such latter position, prepared or unprepared, anywhere in the world, they are taken through a crash programme in finishing and poise and made to realize that being the wife of an important man comes with serious responsibilities lest they sabotage the same person that they should be supporting.

If Dame Patience went through such re-orientation, the course was incomplete. This week, we got a feedback drawn from her visit to Rivers state to launch her NGO – the Women for Change Initiative, when she ended up in Okrika, her home town. This homecoming became an egoistic show-off as she openly contradicted the state Governor, offering him unsolicited lessons on how to develop the Okrika water front and school system, in addition to pointed comments on the use of the English language. The Governor had reportedly insisted that his administration must demolish some houses which adjoin the schools in Okrika in order to create a proper learning environment. Dame Patience disagreed.

She then gave an unsolicited lecture on the land tenure system telling the Governor: “I want you to get me clear. I am from here. I know the problems of my people so I know what I am talking…” The Governor tried to explain his administration’s policy and the larger public interest. The Dame reportedly cut him short: “But what I am telling you is that you always say you must demolish; that word must you use is not good. It is by pleading. You appeal to the owners of the compound because they will not go into exile. Land is a serious issue.” Wao! “that word must..is not good.” We must all commit that to memory as we re-learn Practical English according to Patience Jonathan!

If it is in the place of the President’s wife to teach a state Governor how to run his state, it is definitely not in her place to veto a state policy (the reason the governor used the word “must”), not even her husband has such powers. It seemed as if Dame Patience Jonathan was determined to impress her kith and kin. She told them she had directed the governor not to demolish their houses. Then, she left straight for the airport obviously having overstayed her welcome and having behaved like a bad guest. She was scheduled to visit the prisons to grant amnesty to some inmates (is that really her duty or something that should be in her itinerary? ); she was also meant to commission some projects. The face-off between her and the governor put paid to all that.

On the eve of her arrival, a group which calls itself “the Okrika Political Stakeholders Forum” and “the people of Kirikese” had actually placed an advert in the papers welcoming “our amiable daughter and sister…to Rivers state and your home town Okrika.” They also brought up the issue of “the land reclamation and shore protection project at Oba Ama, Okrika being undertaken by the Rivers state government.” (Daily Sun, August 23, 2010, p. 2). Either on the strength of this advertorial or private consultations, Dame Patience must have felt compelled to be a partisan stakeholder and intercessor. She needed to put Rotimi Amaechi, the state Governor in his place and that was what did. She recommended “pleading,” – that advice is actually meant for her. A state Governor is a duly elected official; and in a Federal system, he is not answerable to the President, and nowhere is the president granted the powers of a Headmaster over state governors. In Okrika, Dame Patience behaved so impatiently and spoke to Governor Amaechi as if he is on the staff of the Presidency. It may not be her fault though. Amaechi caused it all by bringing himself to such level by undertaking to debrief Dame Patience about his administration’s programmes and activities in the misguided hope of getting cheap political endorsement. He should have asked his wife to attend to her. On the issue of land, Dame Patience should be reminded that the Land Use Act, Section 1 thereof, says the state Governor holds the land in trust for the people. Land matters in the state are beyond the ken of the wife of the President!

The wife of the President of Nigeria, or a state Governor, or a local council chairman, is not a state official. The same applies to husbands if the gender is reversed. He or she is unknown to the constitution or the governance structure. Recent history has however made it a convention to have the spouses of persons in such positions under the guise of providing support, play some ceremonial roles. This has been routinely abused. Under the Jonathan presidency, Dame Patience Jonathan even got a special allocation in the original budget for the 2010 Golden jubilee anniversary whereas she has no official, financial reporting responsibilities! The international standard is that spouses in these circumstances must not only appear but be seen to be above board like Caesar’s wife. They must not misbehave like Marie Antoinette.

When Cherie Blair, wife of former British PM, Tony Blair started buying up houses, apartments and antique furniture, the public raised questions. It didn’t matter that she was a professional in her own right, a Queen’s Counsel with a traceable source of income. There were also questions about the scope of Hillary Clinton’s influence during her husband’s Presidency: Americans wanted to be sure that it was the man they elected that was in charge, not his wife. A couple of weeks ago, the American public was up in arms against Michelle Obama and her poll rating dropped drastically after a visit to Spain where she and her daughter reportedly stayed in a $7, 000 a night hotel.

Much earlier, Nancy Reagan was also the butt of public criticism, with people asking: who is she? And this is not a female thing. In Britain, Prince Phillip, the Queen’s husband, is constantly criticized for putting his foot in his mouth. He once said for example that “British women can’t cook.” He told a visiting Nigerian President, all dressed up in babariga (name withheld): “you look like you’re ready for bed.” During a state visit to China, he told British students: “if you stay much longer, you’all be slitty-eyed.” Prince Phillip’s supporters insist that he is honest, but the majority ask: how is the Queen coping with such a man who is perpetually saying something offensive? There may be persons who defend Dame Patience’s aggressive style, but some of us ask: how is the President coping?

Since Dr Jonathan assumed office, he and his wife have been practically on the road. The Dame has travelled from one state to the other, under the auspices of the Women for Change Initiative. In every state she tells the women to vote and “make sure your vote counts if you like my husband.” Is she now a partisan politician? The Jonathans must be told that Nigeria does not have a co-Presidency. We have only one president and his name is Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. And by the way, what does Dame Patience Jonathan do for a living? She obviously does not have to deal with the challenges of rotation and zoning in her home, unlike the three wives of the Adamawa Governor, Murtala Nyako for whom zoning and rotation have become topical subjects or the wives of South African President Jacob Zuma – that is why she can afford to be so meddlesome!

When she misbehaves as she did in Okrika, she creates the impression that her husband is not in control of his own home. First ladies are prominent figures but their conduct is an eternal subject of public interest. In Nigeria, there was Victoria Gowon, there was also Ajoke Muhammed: dignified and restrained. There was Maryam Babangida – she was influential but no one could accuse her of verbal recklessness; Mrs Abdusalami Abubakar was a court judge, totally self-effacing, No major social party was complete without Mrs Stella Obasanjo, yet she controlled her tongue. Mrs Turai Yar’Adua was described as the power behind the throne and she proved that during the period of her husband’s illness but she was carefully reticent. At the state level, there was Remi Tinubu in Lagos state and Onari Duke in Cross River state who have both conducted themselves responsibly in and out of office. The new First Lady likes to travel, party, and talk outside the script. People are beginning to learn to read her lips in order to understand her husband. Dame Patience must not push her Goodluck.

I just read this on 212.com and decided to share here. http://212breakingnews..com/2013/07/djinee-calls-gov-amaechi-thug.html

BROWN PYRAMID ENTERTAINMENT............brown and any other color. Thanks buddy.

I just liked your page and invited a whole lot of friends to do same. They already are doing that. I inboxed you too(on Facebook). thanks.

Evans Bipi looks to me like a thug.

My PC is very slow and sometimes freezes.

I feel like crying for my country. Haba wats dis kind kind of embarrassment to my nation. Later some political f**ls will say the worst civilian regime is better than the best military regime.

I heard rumours last night that the ASUU strike has been suspended. This morning I heard it will be suspended by Monday. These bits of news are conflicting. How true this is, I don't know. Anybody with either a confirmation or a disagreement of this piece please drop it here. Thanks.

As at 3:30pm today after the Benue State University Chapter of ASUU had concluded their meeting, news filtered in that they had resolved to join the strike. Right now circulars are all over the notice boards and students are leaving the hostels. Security are even the ones going round the campus marching students out of the hostels. No news from Federal University of Agriculture yet.

How is the strike situation in your school? Here in Benue, the state owned university and the Federal University of Agriculture are still going on with academic activities. For now, there are speculations of them joining the strike. Tell us about your school. Do you support the strike action?

A rumour? Why then are schools on strike? Our leaders don't connect their tongues to their brains before talking. They think we are statues who don't think.

EX......After spending the nite at my house she woke up and said she had an assignment to submit by 10am so she'll live by 8am. I told her to tell her room mate to do it for her since she always does that. She said nobody knows where it is. I said show them, she said didn't want anybody near her box. She then texted my co-boyfriend and told him to meet her at a certain hotel. Some how I saw the text and asked her if that was the assignment. She replied that she was going there to break up wit him(sounded really funny to me). She left that town by 5pm that day. So I asked wat she did about the assignment and she stupidly said she told her friend to submit it for her. Thank GOD we are no more. But yday she asked me for airtime to browse her assignment. I sent it. Atleast human hearts forgive.

Imanuelle: Please, can he pay his tithe to me?

Are you GOD?

You are forever in our hearts Michael.

Hezron Lorraine: Wow.love is love irrespective of gender.I noticed during the same sex marriage prohibition debate in the nigerian congress,how some members were quick to support the motion that gays are psychologically incompetent.if so,why clamour for a jail term of over fourteen years.
Which is worse,a man gulping down pension of elderly people,about 23billion denieing them their source of livelihood and means of survival being,who at the end of the day gets a minimal jail term and option of fine.and yet you deem it fit to send two individuals to jail for expressing their intimate believes,which you don't have concrete evidence to why you don't support their lifestyles except your religious hypocrisy.its a dream come true in france as freedom of expression is not trampled upon no matter ur sexual orientation.thumbs up france.

From your statement above the people are happy, let the opponent in said election head to the election tribunal or take the governor to court if e still dey pain am of which I am sure the amiable governor has "settled" said opponent.
