It's ridiculous. He must be following orders from his paymasters. What's even more absurd is how they ignore reported posts that pander to their inclinations.

Politics › Washington Post Slams GEJ For Mocking Chibok Girls. by Rawani(op): 7:50am On Sep 10, 2014
[img]http://2.bp..com/-eIUUDYP1c98/VA9BHh9b1yI/AAAAAAADgbw/p-8IMifazb0/s1600/bringbackgoodluck.png[/img]

It was the social media campaign of the year. #BringBackOurGirls awoke the world to the ravages of Boko Haram, an al-Qaeda-linked terror group in Nigeria, and the plight of the millions of people who live in the midst of their insurgency. At the heart of the message were hundreds of missing schoolgirls, abducted in April from the remote village of Chibok by Boko Haram fighters, who vowed to make them into slaves. The #BringBackOurGirls hashtag channeled both sympathy from abroad and local outrage and concern in Nigeria, with many angry at the government of President Goodluck Jonathan for being unable to free the captured women.

But four months later, the girls have yet to be brought back despite the efforts of the Nigerian military as well as U.S. counter-terrorism forces deployed in neighboring Chad. More than 200 girls remain missing in suspected Boko Haram captivity. Others have perished from snakebite, illness and deprivation in the wild.

Boko Haram itself has continued its slaughter this summer, and seized more territory in the country's restive northeast. Over the weekend, it stormed towns along Nigeria's border with Cameroon, killing dozens of innocents.

Nigerian forces are now fighting Boko Haram in pitched battles around Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, the main hotbed of Boko Haram's operations. The U.N. reports that at least 1.5 million people have been displaced by the conflict since Jonathan's government declared a state of emergency in May.

But the gravity of the moment hasn't stopped some in Nigeria from appropriating the tragic hashtag for rather cynical purposes. Banners emerged in the capital Abuja over the weekend showing Jonathan alongside a new slogan: #BringBackGoodluck2015. The campaign appears to be the work of supporters of the president, keen for his reelection in presidential polls next February. It's not clear whether Jonathan has officially endorsed the new hashtag, but its seeming ubiquity suggests that he is not opposed to it.

While #BringBackOurGirls was just a brief cause celebre in the West — a passing moment to get morally exercised and then move on — it had a deeper meaning in Nigeria. It echoed the larger frustrations of a society that has little faith in its political leadership, is fed up with endemic corruption and wants genuine reform and better governance. Jonathan blamed activists espousing the hashtag for "politicizing" the crisis.

Boko Haram is a fanatical, murderous outfit, but its insurgency gained sway in a region that has been historically marginalized and neglected by Nigeria's central government. Jonathan's seeming indifference toward the missing girls hardly helped. In the early stages of the protests, his wife even reportedly had a number of #BringBackOurGirls activists detained.

In this context, the new campaign slogan is particularly galling. Jonathan has not brought back the girls, yet his campaign expects Nigeria to bring him back to power. One wonders if it will spawn more rich satire among Nigerians on social media. After all, there's plenty of precedent.

BlackTechnology: If you have being listening to Sani, you will know that he is one of those that despise the hypocrisy of Northern Nigeria.

You self make good use of your brain

How do think BH will reveal those who sponsors them when they know that the death of those people will deprive them of the funds needed to win their war.

How many robbers have ever revealed how they acquired the sophisticated weapons they acquired.

Guy stop reasoning like a secondary school boy.

Am even suspecting that BH apart from politicians and foreign supporters, are involved in illegal mining business to fund her war.
Of course it's quite difficult (not impossible) to believe that BH would reveal their sponsors, I was pointing out the hypocrisy of asking us to wait for the sect's statement on the issue. Keep in mind however, that there is no smoke without fire. The attempts to discredit the Aussie is akin to throwing away the baby with the bath water.

Good to know SAS is now an innocent man in your eyes.

Politics › Re: Tambuwal Set To Declare Presidential Ambition Under APC by Rawani:
He has every right to contest, as ours is a party rooted in internal democracy that abhors the arm-twisting and blackmail characteristic of the PDP. However at this crucial time, I believe a Buhari or Kwankwaso candidacy is much more beneficial to the party, if we are to give Jona the much needed bloody nose at the polls next year.

DecemberIV: I see bitter hypocrites on this thread whose only genuine grouse with barcanista is that he is supporting a northerner, not knowing he is supporting good governance without ethno-religious bias, which has earned him a lot of respect on NL.

Now, tell me how a vanquished nyamiri like chiefjusticefuk who is most likely the product of a baby factory in Ugwuagba or an escaped sacrifice from the cannibal restaurants of Ose-Okwodu market can understand simple points raised by the OP. The flaTThead is so blinded by hate for the north that he doesn't realize how much he's frothing at the mouth like a expiring im_becile. Instead of bowing his short pygmy neck in shame considering none of the SE governors have achieved HALF of what Kwankwaso has achieved. Everyone keeps hampering on the low penetration of western education in some parts of the north, yet a visionary administrator that has responsibly engaged in Human Development through the same western education, albeit in a foreign land for strategic reasons, is being castigated.

Let me ask the house, when international students enrol in the KASG owned institution, who earns the revenue? Whose students get field experience in learning french in a francophone country? Whose students get priority attention in the University? Whose country's profile gets raised for investing in the educational infrastructure of a fellow poorer ECOWAS country?

Some people are just bitter that the North is paying needed attention to the sector they love to bash it on, with better facilities (NW University, ABTI) than exists in the whole of the erosion ravaged, red soiled, magic exam centre infested, examination malpractice ravaged South East.

Konmight: [b]My advise Bro,

You Northerners need to wake up and face the reality. Only you people can fight this war by yourselves and defeat BH within few months(they can be defeated if we are really serious).

And the only way you can achieve that is to support disintegration of Nigeria which Southerners are clamouring for.

Then you would hold your destiny in your hands and decide for yourselves. But if you are still hoping GEJ would end war on BH, you are on a very long thing.

The way I see it, is like they want you(Northerners) to regret supporting/creating BH.

Now BH has been hijacked and we have various versions.

People are dying everyday and yet Mr President The Commander-In-Chief is not moved. Even a soul should be protected but people are dying in hundreds and Presidency don't give a damn.

Make dem dey do byebye we go FRUSTRATE dem till dem do byebye(Olamide's Song). The way I see it, they want the war on BH to continue and keep killing Northerners till the Northern Elders come out and say "Okay Let's Divide The Country Now And Go Our Separate Ways, We Shall Fight BH And Defeat Them By Ourselves".

Look at the face of the ADC, see as he frowned. He wasn't happy that GEJ could have anything to do with the Creator of BH again. The pix may not be taken in South Africa but I believe it's recent.

Now SAS is in PDP and his sins have been forgiven. Just Like That. Too Badt.

You people should talk to your Elders. If you are still waiting for the Power, only God knows when you are going to get it. The Plan Is To Hand Over To Igbo In 2019. Now, imagine the number of Northerners who would have been killed between now and 2019 and from 2019 to 2027 when they would eventually hand over Power to North.

Truth be told, this forced marriage is not working. We are not one and we shall never be one till Jesus comes. If OBJ was from Bakkassi, he would never hand over Bakkassi to Cameroun no matter the threat from France. If GEJ was from Borno State, this war would have ended by now.

Truth be told, we really don't love ourselves. I mean genuine love not fake love we show to ourselves everyday. It's been 100yrs yet we still don't see ourselves as One Nigerians.

Abeg, I no fit shout jarey. I can't wait to go my separate way.

I'm from Osun State. We don't have crude oil in my state. But we believe we can do it. Yeah, agriculture is the way. Agbe L'oba.

The question to ask is will the average Nigerian go out and stuck a syringe on an American he doesn't know his identity?

Why the Federal air marshal?

huh huh
You beat me to it. There is no plausible motive for a random Nigerian to launch any biochemical attack on an American air marshall, there are better ways for the average Nigerian to air out his anger without risking his life in an airport he probably cannot afford to fly out of. It would also be silly to tag it as BH when they would sooner detonate a bomb for maximum casualties instead of 'chuking needle' in one over-pampered American. I smell a rat.

mack111: Ali Modu Sheriff has nt been proven guilty of associating with d Boko Haram sect, neither did he concur with d claims/allegation. As far as we re concerned, he is still a suspect nt until proven guilty... Do not find fault/criticise d president for going on an official trip with d senator. If this man has been proven guilty, i'm 100% sure Mr President wouldn't proceed with d official trip. My point is, d president has done nothing wrong nd if u decide to be belligerent towards him for other reasons whatsoever, it will be understandable, but not for this official trip to SA with Ali Modu Sheriff.
Do you realize all that chumminess displayed by GJ to SAS in those pictures is very loud body language, which could hamper any investigations on the mans activities with BH? The DSS statement is no surprise as SAS, GEJ, PDP and BH are all component parts of an evil conspiracy.

adconline: [s]You have to send them to Nursery and primary schools first before you talk about miracle centers..

Numbers from JAMB: in 2012, about 17k students from Imo state got admission into university while about 7k students from Kano got admissions.. Ratio of 2.4 to 1: so for every 2.4 students that got admission from Imo, Kano only has one.

Do u care to know what the literacy disparity is? Adult literacy in Kano is 27.8%; Imo - 80.8%, Lagos-80.5%; youth literacy: Kano-41.9%; Imo-95.7%; Lagos-95.1%.

Explaining these numbers again to dunces! Less than 3 of 10 Kano adults can read and write while 8.5 out of 10 adults can read and write in Lagos and Imo states. Only 4 of 10 Kano youths can read and write while 9.5 out of 10 youths in Lagos and Imo can read and write.
If these youths who have been deprived of basic education by the feudal and hegemonic few, know that someone like you is in full support of their continuous deprivation, you would be Boko Haramed![/s]

adconline: It's either you're arithmetically challenged to see the huge difference in number of kids going to school in Kano vs number of kids going to school in Anambra-- or maybe you are a beneficiary of the status quo- deny them education! Niaija has one of the highest child illiteracy rates in the world- all thanks to this type of ur denial.

Let me break down the numbers for dunces like you. The ratio of Kano to Anambra population is 2.3 : 1. So every 2.3 pupils going to school in Kano, Anambra should be sending 1 pupil, but the reverse reverse is the case.


Out of 66k Kano students only 18K got 5 credits and above with a pass rate of 27% while Anambra that registered 52k students, 34k got 5 credits and above with a pass rate of 65%. Makes you wonder if Boko Haram is going away soon?

Education budget: Kano 2014=N20.8bn; Anambra=N7.172bn. Explaining the numbers for dunces again! For every N3 Kano spends on education, Anambra , spends N1 : Ratio: 3 to 1.
Percentage of educational outcome: Kano: 27%; Anambra=65%.. It means that Anambra state is 38% more efficient and productive in training younger ones for university education than Kano with 1/3 of Kano's budget.
[size=13pt]You forgot to mention the almost 500 miracle exam centers closed down in Anambra after the exams and before these results were released. What percentage of those 34,000 passes would you estimate are fraudulent considering the huge proportion of these miracle centers?
