Thank you. Someone is calling China. The USA has a higher living standard, a higher education standard and takes care of its citizens better. As for statistics, it is the same that relates Nigeria to the biggest economy in Africa. Figures without real substance

With oil and gas, we have built infrasructures Ghana vannot even dream of not to take of actualize, fact!

With oil and gas, we have been able to build over a hundred universities and over two hundred polytechniques and colleges of education over 50 years of independence, fact!

With oil and gas, we almost unilaterally brought peace and stability to seria leone and liberia and today, they have a back to back democratic transition, fact!

We created a nollywood that not only inspired but instituted and set up your epileptic and por nographic GULLYwood the same way your colonial masters Britain instituted and formed your civil service when they civilized you, fact!

That means gov Fayemi has not paid any salary since he started running the affairs of the state because I know for sure that on the average, our monthly allocation is N1.3bn, so if they are saying he embezzled N20bn, that means after stealing in Ekiti, he must have stolen other states' allocations.

I think people should think b4 they write. Anyway, I wish them best of luck.

Eldavido1:
where did you get that from? Was it from his blog?

Eldavido1:
Yeah I get your point. It's actually a bit confusing here...

We have noted with consternation the listing of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan by a website – RichestLifestyle.com – as the sixth richest African President with an estimated net worth of $100 Million U.S. Dollars.

The Presidency condemns the totally unwarranted inclusion of President Jonathan in the publication titled “Africa’s Richest Presidents 2014” as another attempt to unjustifiably portray the President as a corrupt leader and incite public disaffection against him.

We categorically assert that there is no factual basis for ranking President Jonathan as the sixth richest African Head of State with a net worth of about $100 Million U.S. Dollars.
As is well known, President Jonathan has never been a businessman or entrepreneur, but a life-long public servant. The President has held public office since 1999 and has regularly declared his assets as required by Nigerian laws. He has had no personal income since 1999 other than his official remuneration as deputy governor, governor, vice president, acting president and president which are matters of public record.

There has been no significant variation in the totality of his personal assets as contained in his last declaration to the Nigerian Code of Conduct Bureau in 2011 which, as can be verified, was a very, very far cry from the $100 million figure now being bandied about by Richest Lifestyle.com and other irresponsible, copy-cat publications.

The clear and unacceptable imputation of the claim that President Jonathan is now worth about $100 Million is that the President has corruptly enriched himself while in office which is certainly not the case.

We therefore demand a retraction and an unreserved apology from Richest Lifestyle.com and all those who have reproduced the offensive article.

Hundreds of Boko Haram terrorists feared killed in
Adamawa

October 6, 2014

A fierce gun duel is taking place between members of the
dreaded Boko Haram insurgents and Nigerian troops who have
been intensifying efforts to reclaim territories captured by the
insurgents in Adamawa Northern zone.

Reports from the area indicate that about 200 insurgents may
have been killed in this latest offensive forcing them to retreat
as Nigerian troops took control of Michika.

According to a source, “the Nigerian troops have gained an
upper hand in the ongoing war to rout the insurgents out of
Michika town which has been under the grip of the insurgents
for close to a month.

“Nigerian troops are advancing towards Gulak in consolidation
of the success they have made but the insurgents launched an
offensive against them leading to the fierce battle between
the two sides which is on as at the time of filling this report.”

Another source from Michika said Nigerian troops entered the
town following a phenomenal success they made against the
insurgents who suffered severe casualties.

“The Nigerian troops have gained entry into Michika and are
now fully in control of the town having killed a lot of them (the
insurgents),” the source said.

The sources, however, added that it has not been an easy
feat for the Nigerian troops as they are facing stiff resistance
from the insurgents as they advance towards Gulak.

He added that that both sides have been in a prolonged gun
duel as many insurgents and ammunitions were deployed to
counter the troops.

“There is heavy fighting between the insurgents and Nigerian
troops as the insurgents are doing everything to frustrate the
effort of the Nigerian troops and many people who are
trapped in the towns are now sneaking out following
intensified fighting,” our source said.

“The gallant Nigerians soldiers were attacked from the back by
the militants but the military men engaged them in a fierce
battle for over five hours back.”

Efforts to get the reaction of the Public Relations Officer of
the 23rd Army Brigade in Yola failed. His telephone phone line
was not reachable.

mrham03: we dont plan to build too many factories, we just want to export power to those countries including your beloved nigeria. Since naija has big plans for the future: factories, more houses, more schools, hospitals, u will need more power which ghana is going to export to u. U myt want to consider ur plan not to produce a football team coz a higher population is needed to achieve naija's future plans.
