Buhari's appointments and not Fayose's outburst threatens Nigeruia's unity.

ChappyChase:
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has responded to the attacks on President Muhammadu Buhari by Ayo Fayose, Ekiti state governor over lopsided appointments.

While Fayose defined the Buhari as running the country as if he was the president of northern Nigeria only, the president said the governor’s attacks were capable of generating ethnic clashes among the nation’s communities.

It should be recalled that the governor on August 31 said steps taken by Buhari since he was inaugurated were tainted with ethnic and tribal coloration, saying it was unfriendly to the unity of Nigeria.


However, the president answered strongly, rejecting the accusation, and advising Nigerians to be cautious of the tricks of Ekiti state governor and the Peoples Democratic Party, who he said are determined on regaining what they lost by stoking ‘ethnic and religious fault lines”.

Presidency said the governor’s outburst was discordant and threatens the unity of Nigeria.

Garba Shehu, presidential media aide, said President Buhari had been worried with the revival of the economy, securing the nation and ridding it of corruption.

He said Nigerian leader would follow these priorities and would not be distracted by unwarranted criticism.

“Nigerians are smarter than Fayose thinks. The Governor’s outbursts are intended to be a trigger for a clash between communities in areas where deliberate attempts had in the past also been made by the PDP to stoke ethnic and religious fault-lines,” he said.

“Our appeal to Nigerians is that they should ignore these tantrums. President Buhari is a healer not a divider.”


He added that Nigerians should see the recent appointments as one wave among the many that will come, stating that the next waves would come with thousands of new jobs.

“The President is conscious of the federal character and the requirements of balance in the constitution. He will be guided by the constitution in making his appointments.’’

“Let me say at this stage that mere appeal to ethnic and regional arithmetic will not give back to the PDP what they lost. They seem to be making a dangerous calculation with their recent outbursts.

“The mere appeal to sectional and religious will not give the party its lost relevance or electability.”

President Buhari on August 27, has made more northern appointments that caused condemnation from Nigerians and prominent leaders of the country

Tinubu though a tactician ought not to fight any further. It is not every battle that a general must engage his troops in to win a war. I suspect Fashola's quietness supposedly is a weapon they must fear. I believe if he should open up, Jagaban may regret this fight. However let peace reign, Fashola as junior should go and beg Tinubu to let the matter rest finanly.

Soskid:
Which of these is false?
1.Fashola's brilliance was all Tinubu needed to rise to the status of a godfather in the southwest and by extension, Nigeria.
2. Jimi Agbaje though from a useless political party was a better candidate than Ambode.
3. Most voters opted for Ambode to consolidate the magical structure left by Fashola
4. Initially, Fashola never wanted Ambode but had to respect the decision of his party.
5. Glaringly, Fashola has this presidential trait.
6. Tinubu is about to destroy those presidential qualities in Fashola.
7. The result of this game will not favour any of them.
8. Tinubu's political hegemony will be hurt.
Note: This is a personal opinion and at such you are free to air yours.

The next governor may be from old Bendel (Delta/Edo) or old Anambra (Enugu/Anambra) states

tpiander:
here's what some folks are positing:





Jakande is from Kwara state

Tinubu is from Osun state

Fashola is from Ekiti state

Ambode is from Ondo State


where do you think they are going with this.

My brother u people have to protect yourselves, stop looking in the direction of the govt. When u respond as in defending yourselves when they attack only, it is likely the govt would find a compromising position for all parties involved.

INTROVERT:

I hope the approval comes with the condition that we would know the perpetrators and their sponsors physically and otherwise. It's so sad at this time for a govt to do such.

damosthottest:
President Muhammadu Buhari has approved amnesty for the Boko Haram terrorist group, a top presidential source who spoke to BREAKING TIMES on condition of anonymity disclosed on Thursday.

According to the source, President Buhari has concluded plans on the amnesty grant for Boko Haram and the official announcement is expected shortly after discussions between government negotiators and Boko Haram terrorists have reached a fairly advanced stage.

“I can authoritatively tell you that the issue has gone beyond a plan, President Buhari has concluded on the issue, granted approvals and it will be announced soon”, the source said.

Can this bizaga leave GEJ out of his misfortune. With all the money he looted from Rivers State he still has the brazen impudence to drag GEJ into every mess.

hopilo:
In an event to Honour Ameachi organized by his cronies and attended by Vice President, Wife of the president, state governors, senators and well wishers. Ameachi lied by insinuating that GEJ to Rivers oil wells to Abia, Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa because he supported Buhari and a Muslim. The issues of oil wells happened before APC emerge as a political party. He also accuse Governor Wike of painting him as a corrupt person so that Buhari that hate corruption will not give him appointment.
Personally I see this event as Ameachi desperate move to remind Buhari of his role in his victory and portrays himself as a non corrupt Nigerian. Buhari cannot be deceive he has a special corruption screening tools to pick his team.

Oh boy Nigeria is still our country, whatever we can do to help solve the mess let's contribute our own quota irrespective of these morons. I just pity Baba go slow wey go join himself with a band of thieves. Him white agbada go soon turn brown.

Ahmed Musa can't be 22. Also it doesn't matter where from and who captains the Eagles as long as he delivers. Finally NFF should learn to pocket their personal egos when dealing with such sensitive issues that affects all Nigerians.

sosanova:
NFF is set to axe Vincent Enyeama as the captain of the Super Eagles if the recommendations of the disciplinary committee is to be adhered to and CSKA Moscow’s Ahmed Musa is likely to be the new captain.

A top official of the NFF had earlier revealed that: “The federation is not happy with the Eagles captain. And I am sorry to say if the leadership decided to follow the recommendations of the disciplinary committee to the letter, then maybe Vincent Enyeama may have played his last game for the Super Eagles.

“Even if he is recalled to the national team, he may no longer wear the captain’s armband because the NFF view his actions before and after the game against Chad as bad example for other players, also he didn’t show up for the disciplinary committee hearing.”

The official added: “You see what has happened to Keshi, it’s the disciplinary committee’s recommendations so if Enyeama escaped their recommendations, then it must be a divine intervention.”

To this end, it is understood that Ahmed Musa has been lined up to be the next captain of Nigeria when Vincent Enyeama is eventually stripped off the captaincy.

The CSKA Moscow forward Ahmed Musa led the Super Eagles when they faced South Africa in a friendly earlier this year.

The former Flying Eagles star made his international debut against Madagascar in 2011 in Calabar and he has half a century of caps now.

Musa has been a regular in the national team, his comportment on and off the pitch has also been exemplary and commendable.

At only 22, he will be one of the youngest players ever to lead the country’s team.

dayo23:
Your Excellency,

During your inauguration ceremony on 29th May 2015, as the new Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, you gave a Presidential order to the military to move the Command and Control Centre of the fight against Boko Haram to Maiduguri, so that the war is effectively fought. Most Nigerians and our well wishers around the world lauded this bold strategic move on your part.

It is now 38 days since you gave the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Sabundu Badeh, and the military generals this Presidential order to move to Maiduguri. Unfortunately, CUPS can reliably inform you that the Boko Haram generals are no where near Maiduguri. In fact they are 405 kilometres away, chilling out at a Mansion, adjacent to DSS office, in Dougirei, Jimeta Yola, Adamawa state.
This hideaway mansion is hired by CDS Alex Badeh himself. We know the owner of this mansion very well. We have spoken to him.

Your excellency, the same mobile phone apprehension equipment that was used by the former DG DSS, Ita Ekpenyong, to hack into your mobiles phones can effectively be used to track down the movement of these treacherous military generals. Ask the new DG DSS to track their movements. You will find out that they are in Yola all the times at this mansion.

Your Excellency, CUPS is reliably informed that there is no any Command and Control of fight against Boko Haram that is going on from this hideous hideaway mansion. It is just being used by Badeh and his fellow generals for partying, sex, and drinking 24/7. Of course there is a constant supply of the finest food, wine, and women, all at the expense of the Nigerian tax payers.

While the CDS and his fellow generals are partying to glory, we ordinary Nigerians have recently noticed a deterioration in security, which should never have happened. Just yesterday alone there were three deadly bomb blasts that resulted in loss of human life. One blast happened at the Redeem Church in Potiskum. Another happened at Shagalinku Restaurant in Jos. The last blast was at a popular Masjid called Yan Taya in Jos.

Your Excellency, these Boko Haram generals must go with immediate effect. There is no value whatsoever in retaining them.

May God save Nigeria and Nigerians. Amen.

Dr. Idris Ahmed.

It's idiots like u who are tribalised that continue to whipe up the embers of war with ur hog wash. This banter between u Igbos fools and Yoruba idiots has got to stop. If u dodos can't have enough with each other please take it off this platform so we who want to remain Nigerians can enjoy it in peace. I thought this would end with the election but your immaturity (Igbo and Yoruba tribalist) is getting the better of u.

Drchristian:
WHY DO IGBOS PERSISIT IN DEMONSTRATING
AGAINST DOCTOR ARIYO?
By An Igbo Man : (Ozodiobi Osuji)
"Every behavior one engages in has a goal. One
asks: what is the purpose of this behavior? In
that light, one asks why are Igbos demonstrating
in front of Dr. Ariyo’s medical clinic in Dallas,
Texas.
If Igbos feel that he is, as they say, out to kill
Igbos and as a medical doctor the only way he
can accomplish that objective is for him to have
Igbo patients, then Igbos stay away from his
medical practice.
I doubt that Igbos go to his office for medical
help. Igbos probably go to other medical doctors
for help.
Therefore, the demonstration in front of Dr.
Ariyo’s office has other intentions. The goal is to
destroy his medical practice, to delicense him. Is
this true or not? If it is true is it a holy intention,
especially for Igbos who claim to be Christians?
Didn’t Jesus ask his followers to love and forgive
their enemies? Why Igbos unchristian behavior of
seeking punishment for their perceived enemies
when Jesus asked them to have no enemies, to
turn the other cheek? Perhaps Igbos are not
Christians although they present themselves as
such or they do not know what it means to be a
Christian, a loving and forgiving person!
Dr. Ariyo has said that he is not anti-Igbo but
apparently such declaration is not enough for
some Igbos and such Igbos want to take away
the source of his livelihood.
Now, suppose such Igbos were to succeed what
do they think would happen? As you do to other
people they will do to you; what goes around
comes around. Yorubas would retaliate both in
the USA and in Nigeria.
Yorubas dominate most of the hospitals at Lagos
and other parts of Western Nigeria and even
Abuja. What do you think would happen to the
Igbo doctors there? They would be subtly
harassed until they are driven out.
Igbos then would only have medical job
opportunities in the Eastern part of Nigeria,
perhaps not even in Ijaw and Efik parts of the
East but only in Alaigbo proper.
If this is the case why pursue this grievance and
vengeance mission against a Yoruba medical
doctor in Texas?
I believe that the Igbos pursuing this vengeance
are not too smart. I often wonder whether Igbos
are intelligent at all. They often behave as if they
are stupid! They do not think about the
consequences of their behaviors before they
indulge in them and when the consequences come
to bite their stupid asses they complain that other
Nigerians are persecuting them. They do bad
things to other Nigerian and when those retaliate
they should persecution.
Such behavior is what is expected of paranoid
personalities; paranoid persons run around like
mentally disordered persons fancying themselves
superior to other people and abusing people and
when those they abuse retaliate they feel angry
and complain about it, for in their deluded minds
other folks are inferior to them and do not have a
right to treat them as they, Igbos treat them.
The narcissist fancies his self-special and does
not see how his arrogant behaviors insult other
people and when they feel angry at him he
evinces surprise.
I have written extensively on the nature of
egoism; I have tried to show people that to live
egoistically is to curt social conflict. If you behave
egoistically you antagonize other people and they
fight with you and you and they live in conflict.
If you behave less egoistically, that is, more
lovingly you get along with other people. Reduce
and or eliminate your egoism if you desire peace
in society.
Igbos should stop fighting Yorubas and Hausas
and other ethnic groups in Nigeria for there are
nothing to gain from it. But then, again, I am
assuming that I am speaking to rational persons;
I am talking to mentally disordered persons who
thrive on abusing their neighbors and when those
retaliate they shout that they are innocent victims
and ask the world to come to their rescue but the
world realizing that they are sick persons who
bring other peoples attacks on them ignore them.
Igbos need to heal their paranoia and narcissism.
Their stupid personality disordered behaviors is
beginning to irritate me. They do not learn from
someone trying to teach them; they use stupid
ego defense mechanisms to deny what you told
them about them by calling you stupid street
names".

Madam first you have to forgive yourself as your young daughter can read your aura and non verbal communication. Secondly take her for prayers and counsel her about the wrong that bad uncle has done to her, reassure her it would not happen again. Time would heal her wounds physically and emotionally. Your constant self unforgiveness may rub off on her so please be careful. As for the two idiots let the full wrath of the law come upon them.

ConfessionsNgr:
I am in terrible pains as I write this. My 3 year old daughter was molested by a neighbor in my compound where I stay. This is a guy that my husband and I have helped severally and I can't just imagine he would do this to us. My husband travels a lot for work and I too work so it's difficult always having to keep an eye on my daughter so I hired a maid to help me look after her whenever I'm not home. I don't know how my maid and this guy connived to do this disgusting act to my 3 year old. I came home and found my daughter crying sick only to investigate and found her bleeding in her private part and it was all swollen. I asked the maid and she told me that the guy came to carry her to his one room apartment to play with her before she heard her scream and rushed to her aid. I started crying and now I have cried my eyes out. I still can't believe that people I help could do this to me. Of course they are both roasting in the police cell now but my major problem now is rehabilitation for my daughter. This happened yesterday and she has been sick since. We have gone to the doctor and gotten drugs for her but the doctor says the psychological trauma will linger on for long. I am so scared and I pray nothing would happen to my only child. I just want to make her happier and to forget about this incidence. Any good advise will be helpful to me now.

My friend needs your advice on what steps to take to seek justice.
He had gone to pick his son a 12 year old JSS3 student from boarding house only to discover that a teacher had seriously beaten his son and caused facial injury to him.
What transpired as confirmed by other students is that the JSS3 students had finished writing a paper and were leaving the hall, only for this teacher to ask all students to return to their seats. The 12 year old was in the process of asking his colleague for pencil sharpener which caused the teacher to rain several slaps on the minor and equally used broom (which is a taboo culturally) in beating him both on his body and his face hereby causing injury on his (the student) face.
The school has promised to handle the matter but are shielding the teacher from the parent. The boy knows the teacher but does not know his name. Please your advice is needed.

Apc has been consistent in sayin that PDP has ruled Nigeria for 16 disastrous years in which corruption,


Impunity, insurgency, armed robbery and several ills of society held sway. But at a very close look at the APC,

I am seeing:

1. Rotimi Amaechi – 8 years speaker; 7 years, Governor under PDP.

2. Atiku Abubakar – 8 years Vice
president under PDP.

3. George Akume – 8 years
Governor under PDP.

4. Bukola Saraki – 8 years
Governor; 2 years, Senator under PDP.

5. Timipre Sylver – 4 years Governor under PDP.

6. Audu Ogbe – 2 years Chairmanship of the PDP.

7. Aminu Masari – 4 years as the Speaker, House of Representatives under PDP.

8. Chris Ngige – 3
years Governor under PDP.

9. Rabiu Kwankwaso –7 years Governor; 3 years Defense minister under PDP.

10. El Rufai – 4 years FCT Minister; 2 years BPE chairman under PDP.

11. And to cap it all, Obasanjo is the navigator of the APC, a man who spent 8yrs of the disastrous 16 years as the maximum ruler of Nigeria. It is now clearer that APC is a waste basket of the PDP,

where the people who created and perpetuated the 16 disastrous years are now dumped.

So where is the change coming from? Are they now saints because they joined APC? Pls be WISE & VOTE not for those seeking power by FORCE

CLEAR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PA AWOLOWO (UPN) AND TINUBU (APC)- Richard Omoko

As the elections draw near it is critical for us to clearly understand what we are getting into and as such who our so called leaders are. While the two leading parties (ie. PDP and APC) have their plus and minuses, you cannot afford to turn a blind eye to critical issues of importance at this stage.
PDP may not be the messiah that we all yearn for but as an observer I would honestly tell you that this present administration has done remarkably well to deserve continuity which is a prominent component in our leadership vocabulary as a nation. There have been great leaders in Nigeria whom have left an indelible mark in our progress as a nation. For instance such leaders as Ahmadu Bello, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, Anthony Enahoro amongst others are people worthy of emulation. It is appalling that the virtues that these men once exuded are lacking in our democracy of today. They were indeed nationalist and statesmen who put self interest aside and pursued what was best for the country as a whole. Some were so involved in building the nation that at the end you would sympathise with their families that took the brunt of ridicules, in that after such a massive selfless sacrifice for their country they had little or nothing of personal worth to boast of. These men were so clear cut that parents named their children after them irrespective of area of origin or nationality in the hope that their wards would grow up to become like them, even Goodluck Jonathan was named after Azikiwe.

Differences between Awolowo and Tinubu
1. Pa Awolowo earned the title 'Leader of the Yoruba race' simply from his style of leadership, contributions to the society, and developmental strides he engineered for the Yoruba people irrespective of party inclination. He was loved by all Yoruba people and even by his enemies. Tinubu has divided the Yoruba people along party lines and has constantly shown disrespect to many Yoruba elders including the revered Afenifere group.
2. Pa Awolowo in many cases has shown selflessness and statesmanship in his approach and utterances. For instances after the results of the 1979 elections were declared by NEC, he did not go about on a campaign as to cause disaffection in the populace against the regime of Shehu Shagari. He took the defeat in good faith and concentrated more efforts in developing the states that his party had won in the elections. This attribute is lacking in Tinubu as you constantly hear his venomous and incisive statements that are a huge security risk even at a time like this with boko haram and the threats to security of the nation.
3. Economic/ Project agenda planning: This is another area you would duff your hat for Pa Awolowo. He took his time to articulate his policies and party agendas, and the beautiful thing there is the manner in which he dissected the economy and tell you how he is going to make provision for every project and policy he is promoting. He was never found wanting and because of his detailed approach the Yoruba people are still benefiting from his legacies. Tinubu has never provided any detailed economic planning to gauge his empty promises like the APC social welfare campaign promises of providing free food, free education, grants and monthly allowances for jobless citizens. If he were to do this effectively be sure that the fuel subsidy would be scrapped and taxes would be increased by over 30% to make available provision for payments in excess of N5 trillion. Of course you know who would benefit from the tax increases the citizens would have to pay. Tinubu's companies would receive 20% of taxes collected like what he has fully implemented in Lagos state over the years.
4. Systemic engagement: Pa Awolowo perfected his party programmes from the grass root up and not with empty promises that lacked intelligent applications. For instance the policy of free education was systematically injected from the local governments and state levels before he promised a national implementation during the election campaigns of 1979 and 1983. Tinubu on the other hand had always made promises without systemic approach and without adequate planning and preparation. Now the promise of monthly stipends/allowance for jobless youths, feeding of school children and so on are all policies he ought to have implemented in the states under his control and better prepare for its pros and cons before promising Nigerians. If truly APC were sincere about free education. Why then the 1,000% hike in school fees of LASU from N25,000 to N250,000? If the students had not reacted you sure would have seen this cruelty come to stay.
5. Stupendous wealth: Awolowo was a rich man no doubt but his wealth came mostly through hard work and wise investments and not land grabbing of Lakowe and Ibeju Lekki and other prime areas and properties belonging to innocent citizens and the people of Lagos state as Tinubu has been perpetrating over the recent past, through ARM and other bogus companies and cronies.
6. Irresponsible god fatherism: Tinubu is the alpha and omega of APC, whether Buhari or any other individual likes it or not. He is not called the jagaban for no reason. He is a master strategist who knows how to get his way however that may seem. He constantly calls the shot on who gets what and Atiku, Kwankwaso, Amechi, Oshiomole and Okorocha unknowingly have been burnt by this. Awolowo to my knowledge has not forced any candidate on his party UPN, everybody had equal opportunity as they must test their popularity through party primaries.

Interestingly in my discussions with many of the proponents chanting change. I inquired from them what they truly wanted to change in Nigeria as a nation. The responses you would get are corruption, insecurity, jobs, infra structural development, women empowerment, youth development, education being the critical areas needing attention. When I remind them and pointed out the transformational strides of this present administration, some understand and are already in conformity while some continue with their chants. For instance, in Nigeria now this is the first government that has achieved the full diversification of the economy. The minister of agriculture not only put to rest the monumental corruption in the fertiliser business of middlemen but also ensured that fertilisers as well as improved seedlings reached the farmers directly. This singular gesture has encouraged the farmers to produce more and store enough produce in renovated and newly constructed silos provided by the government. Insecurity has seen a remarkable boost with areas after areas being reclaimed by our military men upon receiving the right type of equipment. These equipments had to be produced, shipped and soldiers trained to adequately man them. An example of a case of corruption the proponents of change are quick to point out is the Police Pension bruhaha. I am also not happy with the outcome of this case,but the fact of the matter is this as I have come to realize this government has not acted like some others in quashing and arm twisting the other arms of government into doing its bidding. In contrary, it has allowed the Judiciary and the Legislature to act their roles, now an institution of government found an individual culpable of corruption, it arrested and charged the culprit to court but the judge in interpreting the law and meting out justice gave a judgement of a fine of N250,000 to someone who had stolen well over N2 billion. Is the Executive responsible for interpreting our laws and applying justice in this matter? The dire hard is quick to forget that this same administration is responsible for fishing out over 50,000 ghost workers, perfected the parole system of civil servants in order to minimise corruption to its bearest and also put a decisive stop to ghost pensioners. Is this not fighting corruption. Women know already that this administration has been true to its promise in having adequate representation of women in its government. For the first time ever we are having over 35% women representation in our government. The full involvement of the private sector has been an instrument for job creation and ensuring capacity utilisation in companies previously run by government. This is why BPE started with communication and now moved to power sector. NITEL and PHCN have not been properly run by governments in the past. These institutions have been a source of maladministration and a conduit for corruption and as such over burdened the budget.

The hassle of this proponents of change as I have realised, is not with this administration nor with the person of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan but with the party PDP. As such I want to ask that, Is it right to throw the baby out with the bath water? Of course no. PDP may have its faults but all indications remain that this current administration has performed creditably well Inspite of the menance of boko haram and so deserve another course for continuity to prevail in our development as a nation.

Matter of fact Buhari is bereft of ideas that's why he keeps dodging Presidential debates.

Maple:
The graft allegation against the Nigeria Election Debate Group (NEDG) has vindicated the All Progressives Congress' stance that the debate was compromised by President Goodluck Jonathan, the Muhammadu Buhari campaign organisation has said. The opposition campaign media and publicity director Malam Garba Shehu said the sordid details coming out of organizations of the debate would have tainted the APC candidate had he presented himself to the group.

A civil society group, Value and Integrity Group alleged at a press conference on Friday, that a First Bank account opened for the NEDG had the founder of a private television network as sole signatory, even though he is not listed as one of the directors of the NEDG. According to leaders of the Value and Integrity Group, Sina Odugbemi and Popoola Ajayi, co-ordinator and secretary respectively, “an initial deposit of N1 million was paid into the said First Bank account, and on March 28, 2011, another N20 million belonging to the NEDG was paid into the personal account of the said founder of the leading private television network.”

The Buhari campaign said “We at the APC Presidential Campaign got the eye-opening news of the press conference by the Value and Integrity Group accusing the Nigeria Election Debate Group, the crux of the allegation being that some members of the NEDG have been monetarily influenced.”It added that “although the group failed to mention from what source the monies came from, we had taken a position, based on intelligence made available to us that the PDP has compromised the integrity of an unnamed few in the NEDG with huge and ridiculous sums of money.”

“And watching President Goodluck Jonathan reading from a prepared script gleefully as he answered questions in the debate confirmed our suspicion that there will be “EXPO”. “These two scenarios: The allegation of corrupt inducements in the NEDG and the president reading from a prepared script during the debate validates our reasons for abstaining from the debate,” Shehu said.

LETTER OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS
TO THE BISHOPS OF NIGERIA

[Multimedia]

Dear Brother Bishops,

While we walk this Lenten journey towards the Resurrection of the Lord united with the whole Church, I wish to extend to you, dear Archbishops and Bishops of Nigeria, a fraternal greeting, which I extend to the beloved Christian communities entrusted to your pastoral care. I would also like to share some thoughts with you on the current situation in your country.

Nigeria, known as the “African giant”, with its more than 160 million inhabitants, is set to play a primary role, not only in Africa but in the world at large. In recent years, it has experienced robust growth in the economic sphere and has again reasserted itself on the world stage as an attractive market, on account of its natural resources as well as its commercial potential. It is now considered officially the single largest African economy. It has also distinguished itself as a political player widely committed to the resolution of crisis situations in the continent.

At the same time, your nation has had to confront considerable problems, among them new and violent forms of extremism and fundamentalism on ethnic, social and religious grounds. Many Nigerians have been killed, wounded or mutilated, kidnapped and deprived of everything: their loved ones, their land, their means of subsistence, their dignity and their rights. Many have not been able to return to their homes. Believers, both Christian and Muslim, have experienced a common tragic outcome, at the hands of people who claim to be religious, but who instead abuse religion, to make of it an ideology for their own distorted interests of exploitation and murder.

I would like to assure you and all who suffer of my closeness. Every day I remember you in my prayers and I repeat here, for your encouragement and comfort, the consoling words of the Lord Jesus, which must always resound in our hearts: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you” (Jn 14:27).

Peace – as you know so well – is not only the absence of conflict or the result of political compromise or fatalistic resignation. Peace is for us a gift which comes from on high; it is Jesus Christ himself, the Prince of Peace, who has made of two peoples one (cf. Eph 2:14). And only the man or woman who treasures the peace of Christ as a guiding light and way of life can become a peacemaker (cf. Mt 5:9).

At the same time, peace is a daily endeavour, a courageous and authentic effort to favour reconciliation, to promote experiences of sharing, to extend bridges of dialogue, to serve the weakest and the excluded. In a word, peace consists in building up a “culture of encounter”.

And so I wish here to express my heartfelt thanks to you, because in the midst of so many trials and sufferings the Church in Nigeria does not cease to witness to hospitality, mercy and forgiveness. How can we fail to remember the priests, religious men and women, missionaries and catechists who, despite untold sacrifices, never abandoned their flock, but remained at their service as good and faithful heralds of the Gospel? To them, most particularly, I would like to express my solidarity, and to say: do not grow tired of doing what is right!

We give thanks to the Lord for them, as for so many men and women of every social, cultural and religious background, who with great willingness stand up in concrete ways to every form of violence, and whose efforts are directed at favouring a more secure and just future for all. They offer us moving testimonies, which, as Pope Benedict XVI recalled at the end of the Synod for Africa, show “the power of the Spirit to transform the hearts of victims and their persecutors and thus to re-establish fraternity” (Africae Munus, 20).

Dear Brother Bishops, in perseverance and without becoming discouraged, go forward on the way of peace (cf. Lk 1:79). Accompany the victims! Come to the aid of the poor! Teach the youth! Become promoters of a more just and fraternal society!

I gladly impart to you my Apostolic Blessing, which I ask you to extend to priests, religious, missionaries, catechists, lay faithful and above all to those suffering members of the Body of Christ.

May the Resurrection of the Lord bring conversion, reconciliation and peace to all the people of Nigeria! I commend you to Mary, Queen of Africa, and I ask you also to pray for me.

The wash wash projects are giving way and collapsing on him. He can't win Imo state again. The people have seen Okorocha through.

9jagirl4re:
What could have been a major disaster was averted just by divine providence in Owerri, the Imo State capital when a pedestrian bridge built by Governor Rochas Okorocha at
Heroes’ Children’s Park, opposite Concorde Hotel, collapsed under the governor.

The incident, which happened when the governor stopped over on his way to the NUJ Governorship Debate to interact with some students of Development Comprehensive Secondary School, Owerri, who were around the park when he came, caused a stir among on-lookers and passers-by.
Trouble however started when the governor took the students up the bridge to teach and inspire them on how to become leaders.
No sooner had the governor started the teachings with the students when the bridge caved in with the iron bracing of the bridge cut under the weight of the governor and the students and the students panicked and started shouting “Jesus! Jesus!!”, while the governor feigned ignorance of the situation even as his security aides rounded the spot to help him down.

Our correspondent who was there reports that when the incident happened, the governor’s aides, especially the members of the security operatives, who were visibly shaken, started shouting to the students: “Jump out!, get down!, jump out!” and the students jumped out from the bridge and ran for dear.
In the midst of the melee, the governor said “we’re too many here, please jump down”.
Our reporter can report that this was the first time the bridge was being used since it was constructed two years ago by Governor Okorocha.

It would be recalled that Akachi Road Bridge and several buildings (including the multi-million naira Imo Film Academy, a new security gate being constructed behind the main entrance gate to the Government House; office complex being constructed in the Imo State university campus, Owerri as well Princess Hotel Okigwe) constructed by the governor in the state had collapsed raising questions about the standard of such projects.

See him pretending nothing happen at the debate. His ritual failed the students are safe!

Lagos state is Tinubu's biggest joker and he would do all it takes to maintain the status quo except you act now. In the name of filling the shoes of Pa Awolowo, Tinubu has strangulated the state by having a grip on the neck (finance) and body (institutions) of the state all to keep the head (governor) in check.

THE MANY SINS OF BUHARI (A CHANGE AGENT?) - Richard Omoko

Some of the people blind folded by the APC toga of 'change' do not clearly understand what they are getting into, while I agree that you have some decent elements in the party APC. Yes decent human beings that are better respected and even I regard as great mentors of society and generations to come. This class of people are well liked and highly respected individuals that you may not compare them with some rascals and truants that you may find in other parties. I often wonder why the APC is a party filled with 'strange bed fellows', if you check the composition of the APC you would discover that it is a party filled predominantly of desperate and disgruntled politicians from the PDP and other parties.

As a young boy my dad often warned me not to have any form of dealings with a desperate individual and that by so doing I would have my fingers burnt and regret it afterwards. As he would say "a desperate man can kill", this frightening words have never left my mind since I was a boy. A lot of young people do not understand what dangers these desperate men you currently have in the APC portends to the security, peace and unity of Nigeria as a country that's why I call on the decent few I have earlier described that are still within their rank and file, and also young boys and girls who never knew the antecedents of these desperate characters to please 'shine your eyes'. Pastor Tunde Bakare even said it better "I trust Buhari but I don't trust the environment that he is in". Get this right Buhari is not a demon, nor is he demented but matter of fact is that as the saying goes "The evil that men do lives with them".
Buhari's and his many sins
1. Human rights: Because of Buhari and Babaginda, Fela Anikulapo Kuti composed several songs like 'Overtake don overtake overtake', 'Animal in human skin', 'Animal can't dash us human rights'. Fela may have been a 'prophet' of his time. I agree with him though in some of his words, if you have abused the rights of others you can't turn around now and pretend to 'dash' us human rights under the pretence of Change. A leopard cannot change its spots. Buhari ceased power in 1983 and systematically abused Nigerians of their rights of justice and fair hearing. Politicians were accused of bogus crimes of corruption and tried under kangaroo courts, while there may have been a few who were corrupt, the innocent were not spared. They were given heavy sentencing some as much as 323 years. The trauma such people as Ambrose Ali faced in prison was what killed him afterwards. Like Ahmadu Bello, Ambrose Ali after massively developing Bendel state had to his credit only one small bungalow in his home town.
2. Decree 4 and Decree 2: He was infamous for his constant harassment of the Press and Civil rights groups as a means of concealing the truth from ordinary Nigerians. At will he threw people into jail without any form of charge and such journalist as Nduka Irabor would tell you of their experiences. Some were tortured and are still traumatised till today, some even lost their lives in the process.
3. Ghana must go: As a child growing up our economy was booming and as such we had a lot of foreigners living around us. We had Asians especially Indians and Pakistanis, Eastern Europeans and of course Africans all running from economic hardships in their countries. Some were professionals and experts in their fields and we also had artisans and others who did menial labour, we had some Africans who were professionals but most were involved in menial work. Interestingly of all these sets of people that were in Nigeria Buhari singled out Ghanians and sent them packing without any form of compensation and compassion. If you must note during the civil war a lot of Nigerians ran to Ghana to take cover even Nnamdi Azikiwe schooled in Ghana. Some of these Nigerians that escaped the civil war married their Ghanian girl friends and boy friends and returned to Nigeria after the war was over. To be sent packing in such a manner was indeed callous, and painfully some were forced to leave with just only a bag irrespective of the wealth or properties that they had accumulated from decent hard work. So young people as you go out to the shops to buy that 'Ghana must go' bag without knowing truly why they call those bags with such a name, now you know.
4. Economic policies: I don't need again to explain to you that Buhari is bereft of ideas when it comes to economic issues and the handling of the economy. Start with the reprinting of the naira when he ceased power. As a boy we were jubilant that we were seeing the new face of the naira, what we didn't understand then was the economic impact and the implications. His excuse for doing so was that corrupt politicians who had stolen funds hidden under their beds may not be able to exchange their cash for the new currency. The impact of this together with his import license policy helped to devalue the naira and rubbish it's exchange power. Before he ceased power the naira had a strong exchange value against major currencies for decades the naira had been exchanging for £1.00/N2.00 and $1.00/0.60 kobo. For the first time ever it was during Buhari's regime that the naira started to depreciate in value. It's laughable when now he is the same person shouting that naira is exchanging at $1.00/N220.00. Even with this all is not lost as the Chinese and Japanese constantly and intentionally devalue their currency as a means to curbing dumping of products and hence boosting local production. Now the desperate politicians are encouraging him to make promises like building four refineries, free education, free lunch, monthly stipends and allowances for jobless youths and so on without proper economic planning and drafting.
5. Irresponsible utterances: His irresponsible utterances especially with disregard to its security implications have cost some Nigerians their lives and properties. He had said "The baboons and monkeys would be soaked in their blood" who are these baboons and monkeys? His utterances during and after the elections of 2011 were not helpful either. How do you place your self interest above the lives of the innocent and even the nation? Al Gore knew he won the elections but he allowed the interest of America to over shadow his personal interest. Even my dearly beloved Baba Obasanjo allowed the general interest of Nigeria to subdue his personal interest and agenda of running for office as President for a third term. To me that's being a true statesman.
6. Irresponsible actions and inactions: When people were being killed in 2011 under the guise of defending their votes as encouraged by Buhari. He did not come out to make an immediate statement or plea for these miscreants to stop forthwith.
7. The costs of crating Umaru Dikko: Before he parcelled Umaru Dikko in a crate Nigerians had easy access into the United Kingdom (UK) and USA. With a return ticket costing only N500 and just your passport you can travel into these countries without a visa, but his brute approach cost us dearly, the UK came down heavily on Nigerians and withdrew the privileges of travelling under a common wealth of nations. They went further and started denying citizenship to Nigerians born in the UK.
8. Total disregard to women: Initially when contacted on his opinion of the office of the first lady, he had said that he would scrap this office as it had no meaning nor place in his administration. However, having faced a lot of backlash and criticism from Nigerians and international organisations he is forced to go against his will of incorporating women in his government should he win. Now you may find a repackaged Aisha Buhari frying akara (bean cake) in Abuja. Even if APC do not agree with it, GEJ has remained the only government in Nigeria that has worked for the cause of fully incorporating and representing women in government.
9. Islamic agenda: His penchant for fighting the cause and fully supporting sharia is not hidden to many. As such the christian north are wary of supporting him. The fear generally in the minds of people is that this unrepentant supporter of sharia may well be the trump card or joker for Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) or maybe ISIS currently on a jihaddist campaign, if you would recall boko haram that pledged allegiance to ISIS had nominated Buhari as it's spokesman.
Please truth be told, Nigerians be wary of desperate politicians who are serving their own interest, again I repeat Buhari is a good man and his intentions may have been good but his sins are living with him. The environment that he currently finds himself is one of suspicion and not to be trusted as Chinua Achebe describes it 'Things fall apart and the center cannot hold' that is what the APC stands for.

BUHARI STILL CLUELESS ON ECONOMIC ISSUES AFTER 32 YEARS - Richard Omoko
I watched with keen interest the APC town hall meeting of Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th March, 2015. Various questions were asked on how APC intends to tackle such matters as Security, Job creation, Power generation, women empowerment, The exchange rate amongst others issues.

In their response to the issues or questions asked, Buhari and his fellow APC stalwarts at the town hall meetings sounded like semi-illiterates when giving responses to this crucial matters of importance. Before we draw conclusions let us go back in history to how our economy used to be like before Buhari ceased power by force through a coup de ta in 1983.

As a young lad I can remember vividly that this was how Nigeria was before Buhari ceased power by force
1. When it came to exchange rate it was $1.00 exchanging for 0.60 kobo (yes if you didn't know that), the British Pound Sterling was £1.00 exchanging for N2.00.
2. We didn't require visa's to travel abroad. Now interestingly while you only needed to board a plane with your blank passport, your visa would be stamped at the point of entry in almost all nations of the world including the United Kingdom (UK). America was begging us Nigerians to come and visit (so we could spend our money there) they even offered free scholarships to most Nigerian students to study up to masters level, and when they finished their studies there were mouth watering offers of jobs and accommodation waiting for their picking should they decide to stay. Some Nigerians even had special luxury treatments given to them right from the airports at America.
3. In most shops in the UK they would close their shops to other customers once they learnt that you were a Nigerian and intend to shop there. This treatment is only now meeted out to Arab sheiks.
4. It was automatic citizenship for any Nigerian baby born in the UK, with immediate allowances for both baby and mother.
5. Our International Trade fairs used to be a big issue, with every notable company from all nations in the world fighting to ensure their participation. These companies even released their products to Nigerians with only a promise to pay.
6. The economy was bouyant and merriment was always in the air, every family had one reason to celebrate. People like Fela that were hooked on candies could afford to travel to the UK just to buy candies from his favourite shop. I could afford to buy my big dip for 50k.
7. Nigerians were driving only brand new cars. You were considered poor if you happen to drive a car that was more than 3 years old talkless of buying a 'tokubo' vehicle (ie. Second hand vehicle). The major automobile plants were working a Volkswagen beetle was N3,000, a Peugeot 504 was N7,000.
8. Prices of essential commodities were affordable, a can of liquid milk was 25k, a bottle of coca cola was 15k, a bag of rice was N15, a loaf of bread (family size) was 50k.
There are more happenings I can reel out, however this is enough for our youths to digest as they never new how Nigeria was before Buhari came in is usual manner of brute force with no economic knowledge and destroyed everything.

When Buhari ceased power in 1983.
1. Buhari immediately introduced import license when he ceased power. This policy favoured only his cronies as they were the only one who had access to import license. They only obtained the licenses and sold it for a price without importing anything. Some would use such license to import sand from Saudi Arabia, expired tires from Europe, empty containers etc. They did this just to pocket the exchange dollar. The resultant effect was the shambles this caused by increasing black maketeering, increasing smuggling, creating a scramble for foreign currency and hence devaluing the naira. For those who do not know it was in Buhari's regime that the dollar started to appreciate over the naira from what was 0.60kobo to $1.00.
2. Buhari's singular act of importing a human being in a crate (Umaru Dikko) from the UK resulted in the UK removing all those privileges that we enjoyed. From then on you can only come into the UK with a visa, and not anymore as a citizen of the common wealth. The United States also followed suit from this.
3. His regime introduced Price control. This lack of elementary understanding of Pricing and the forces of Demand and Supply caused a lot of hardship for Nigerians as you had long queues for such 'essential commodities' as bread, milk, tea, sugar etc. Of course traders hoarded their wares as you couldn't force them to sell at a loss thereby creating a sky rocketing inflation.
4. The overblown stance of corruption and Nigeria being a drug nation dealt a big blow on our image internationally as most nations started viewing Nigerians with suspicion, to them every Nigerian is either corrupt or a drug dealer. The killing of Bartholome Owho and two others without a convincing trial made other countries view us as babaric. They were no longer comfortable in having business dealings with Nigerians based purely on trust. This we are seeing Buhari repeat yet again.

Buhari's current clamour after 32 years
The chanting is yet to change after 32 years, the so called 'change' agent is still to change from his old ways.
1. On security: as usual he continues to blow it out of proportion hence scaring intended foreign investors whose Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) would having given a boost to the economy and helped in creating jobs. Agreed the current security situation is not perfect, however only until this week did he acknowledge the efforts of our gallant soldiers. His utterances in the past has caused a lot of security breeches that had costs lives and properties of Nigerians. These statements he made had helped increased both followers and symphatisers of boko haram.
2. On Economy: "I would create two million jobs in one year". Free Education, free lunch, free monthly allowances/stipends for jobless youths, he wants to build four refineries in less than four years, his claims of single handedly increasing the price of crude oil and so on just goes to show that he still is clueless on the economy and how it operates. For instance how does he intend to increase the price of crude oil when he cannot control it's demand and OPEC has limited control to its supply as a means of price increase instruments. They clamour oil theft (even though he would not tell you that it started way back in the 70's when he was Petroleum Minister). For those who care to know the US being the largest consuming nation of crude oil is using Fracking and other new technologies to explore for crude as a result demand for global oil is low and the price has to fall because supply is constantly increasing due to oil theft not only from Nigeria but from all ISIS controlled nations and Libya inclusive.
The clear difference between United Party of Nigeria (UPN) led by Awolowo and APC led by Tinubu is very simple. Awolowo would tell you that he would create jobs, industries, roads, free education and so on. Awo doesn't stop at that he would break down the economy for you and show you where and how he would raise the money to perform and fulfil all his promises. That is why the till today the western region is still living off Awo's legacies. Please someone ask Tinubu/Buhari (no pun intended as this is the ticket) to show us how they intend to raise the capital for their promises. They are only building castles in the sky.

The killing of Bartholome Owho and two others without a convincing trial made other countries view us as babaric. They were no longer comfortable in having business dealings with Nigerians based purely on trust. This we are seeing Buhari repeat yet again.

Buhari's current clamour after 32 years
The chanting is yet to change after 32 years, the so called 'change' agent is still to change from his old ways.
1. On security: as usual he continues to blow it out of proportion hence scaring intended foreign investors whose Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) would having given a boost to the economy and helped in creating jobs. Agreed the current security situation is not perfect, however only until this week did he acknowledge the efforts of our gallant soldiers. His utterances in the past has caused a lot of security breeches that had costs lives and properties of Nigerians. These statements he made had helped increased both followers and symphatisers of boko haram.
2. On Economy: "I would create two million jobs in one year". Free Education, free lunch, free monthly allowances/stipends for jobless youths, he wants to build four refineries in less than four years, his claims of single handedly increasing the price of crude oil and so on just goes to show that he still is clueless on the economy and how it operates. For instance how does he intend to increase the price of crude oil when he cannot control it's demand and OPEC has limited control to its supply as a means of price increase instruments. They clamour oil theft (even though he would not tell you that it started way back in the 70's when he was Petroleum Minister). For those who care to know the US being the largest consuming nation of crude oil is using Fracking and other new technologies to explore for crude as a result demand for global oil is low and the price has to fall because supply is constantly increasing due to oil theft not only from Nigeria but from all ISIS controlled nations and Libya inclusive.
The clear difference between United Party of Nigeria (UPN) led by Awolowo and APC led by Tinubu is very simple. Awolowo would tell you that he would create jobs, industries, roads, free education and so on. Awo doesn't stop at that he would break down the economy for you and show you where and how he would raise the money to perform and fulfil all his promises. That is why the till today the western region is still living off Awo's legacies. Please someone ask Tinubu/Buhari (no pun intended as this is the ticket) to show us how they intend to raise the capital for their promises. They are only building castles in the sky.
NIGERIAN BE WISE AND DONT BE FOOLED - VOTE WISELY

Funny enough Buhari agrees with this and knows truly that Jonathan is a better President.

henryangelo:
By Femi Aribisala
Between 1983 and 1985, Peter Onu of Nigeria was Acting Secretary-General of the OAU. At the 1985 Summit in Addis Ababa, statesmen like Julius Nyerere, President of Tanzania, lobbied for his election as substantive Secretary-General. However, there was a major stumbling block to Peter Onu’s candidature: his Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, was campaigning against him.

Jonathan-Buhari
Buhari claimed: “This generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no other country than Nigeria.” But when the crunch came, his allegiance to Nigeria disappeared. In the election of the OAU Secretary-General in 1985, Buhari voted against Nigeria and for Niger instead. He secured the election of Ide Oumarou, a Fulani man from Niger; as opposed to an Igbo man from Nigeria. By so doing, Buhari became the first and only Head of State in the history of modern international relations to vote against his country in favour of his tribe.
Years later, General Buhari marched all the way from Daura to Ibadan to demand of Oyo State Governor, Lam Adeshina: “Why are your people killing my people?” Again, he was not referring to Nigerians as his people. Instead, he was an advocate for the rights of murderous Fulani herdsmen who killed Yoruba farmers that objected to their cattle grazing on their land and damaging their crops. This same Buhari who voted against Nigeria in 1985, and said in 2003: “Muslims should only vote those who will promote Islam,” is now shopping for votes nationwide. He should be rejected outright.
Ignorance running riot
If APC had wanted to be taken seriously, it would have come up with a better presidential material than Buhari. There is something anomalous about a party whose mantra is change, recycling a 73 year old man as its candidate for the president of modern Nigeria. Buhari has little or no understanding of public policy. That is why APC will always come up with some excuse or the other not to have him participate in a debate with Jonathan. Buhari fought corruption by imposing ridiculous 300-year sentences on offenders. He fought exam malpractices by imposing 24-year prison sentences on school children.
He dealt with indiscipline by flogging people to queue at bus-stops. He dealt with food shortages by sending soldiers to break into private warehouses and shops. He fought trade imbalances by taking Nigeria back to the stone age of trade by barter (counter-trade). He sought to extradite a Nigerian from Britain by drugging and crating him.
There is so much about Buhari ending the Boko Haram insurgency as he did the Maitatsine insurgency in the 1980s. But the General needs to be advised that Boko Haram is not Maitatsine. Maitatsine was in two towns: Boko Haram is in three states with spillover effects into others. Maitatsine fought with bows and arrows: Boko Haram fights with sophisticated weapons. Maitatsine was a local insurgency, Boko Haram is an international phenomenon.
Anti-corruption hypocrisy: Buhari does not know what corruption means and how to fight it. He became Nigeria’s Head of State through the corruption of a coup d’état and he then tried to fight corruption with corruption. Imposing retroactive decrees and killing Nigerians under them is corruption. Putting an Igbo vice-president in Kirikiri, while placing the Fulani president under palatial house arrest, is corruption.
Detaining people like Michael Ajasin in jail, even after they were discharged and acquitted by kangaroo courts, is corruption. Jailing journalists for telling the truth is corruption. Putting pressure on a judge in order to jail Fela Anikulapo-Kuti is corruption. Shepherding 53 suitcases of contraband unchecked through Customs during a currency change exercise is corruption. Swearing an affidavit that your school-leaving certificate is with the military when it is not, is corruption.
Transforming Nigeria: Buhari’s shameful past is dwarfed by the achievements of Goodluck Jonathan. Under Jonathan, Nigeria has emerged as by far the largest economy in Africa with a GDP of $503 billion; nearly double the previous estimates. South Africa now comes a distant second with $350 billion. With the unbundling of PHCN after 52 years of gridlock, and with now the realizable target of 20,000 megawatts of electricity by 2020, Nigeria’s GDP will soon double that of South Africa.
CNN Money projects that the fastest growing economy in the world in 2015 will be China (7.3% growth rate); followed by Qatar (7.1%); and then followed by Nigeria (7%). This belies all the misinformation about the Nigerian economy dished out by the APC and attests to the astute management of the economy by the Jonathan administration. The seemingly ambitious Vision 20 2020, proclaimed under the Abacha regime to make Nigeria one of the 20 largest economies in the world by 2020 is now well in sight. Today, Nigeria is already the 23rd largest economy in the world. Kudos to Jonathan, we have overtaken such European countries as Austria and Belgium.
Life expectancy
In 2010, when Jonathan became acting president, life expectancy in Nigeria was 47 years. Today, it is 54 years; an improvement of seven years. Adroit application of SURE-P funds has reduced the maternal mortality ratio in Nigeria by 26%. Under Jonathan, Nigeria has become Guinea Worm-free; a disease previously affecting 800,000 Nigerians yearly. In the last six months, there has been no new case of polio in Nigeria. If this goes on for another two and a half years, Nigeria will be declared polio-free.
Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, hailed Nigeria’s fight against polio as one of the great world achievements of 2014. He said: “The infrastructure Nigeria has built to fight polio actually made it easier for them to swiftly contain Ebola. The fact that Nigeria is now Ebola-free is a great example of how doing the work to fight things like fighting polio also leaves countries better prepared to deal with outbreaks of other diseases.”
Investors’ haven: In the last three years, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has ranked Nigeria as the number one country for foreign investments in Africa. We also receive more home-remittances than any other African country; a vote of confidence in our economy by Nigerians living abroad. They remitted $23 billion in 2013, a figure far more than the $18 billion received by Egypt; the country with the second highest home remittance in Africa. It is a testament to Goodluck Jonathan’s adroit management of the Nigerian economy that the richest African is now a Nigerian.
In 2010, when Jonathan came to power, Aliko Dangote was the 463rd richest man in the world, with a total fortune of $2.1 billion. Today, he is the 23rd richest man in the world, with a total fortune of $25 billion. Dangote’s billions are “made in Nigeria.” Indeed, under Jonathan, Nigeria now has the fourth highest rate of returns on investments in the world, according to UNCTAD.
Crisis of unemployment
The big challenge has to do with jobs. Every year, another 1.8 million people are offloaded into the job market. However, while the APC says Buhari will create 720,000 jobs a year if elected, Jonathan created 1.6 million jobs in 2013. He has established such innovative programmes as Nagropreneurs and YOUWIN that support young farmers and entrepreneurs with grants, training and mentorship. He has also instituted internship schemes to enhance the capacity of university graduates to secure gainful employment.
The unemployment problem is compounded by the more than doubling of the education budget under Jonathan. Every Nigerian child now has the opportunity to go to school. Indeed, there has been a 10 million increase in school enrolment in Nigeria under this government. There has also been a 75% increase in O’ Level credit pass in Maths and English. Jonathan established 125 Almajiri schools in 13 northern states. He also established 14 new federal universities. There is now a federal university in every state. Indeed, the kidnapping of the Chibok schoolgirls derives from the disenchantment of the Boko Haram that many Northern girls are now going to school.
Dealing with corruption: According to Transparency International, Nigeria has not become more corrupt under Goodluck Jonathan. Out of 178 countries ranked in 2010, Nigeria was the 134th most corrupt country. In 2014, Nigeria was ranked 136th. Unlike Buhari, Jonathan understands that corruption has to be attacked institutionally, from the roots. Therefore, he proposed the abrogation of the petroleum subsidy; one of the biggest avenues for corruption in government. However, Nigerians refused. Jonathan has sanitized the corruption in fertilizer distribution. The Minister of Agriculture, Akinwumi Adesina, lamented that between 1980 and 2010, Nigeria lost 776 billion naira to corrupt fertilizer racketeering.
Fertiliser  racketeering
That effectively came to an end under Jonathan. Through the innovative e-wallet system, farmers are given cell-phones through which they now have direct and easy access to government-provided fertilizer, chemicals and seedlings. Jonathan has also sanitised the banking system by removing dinosaur managing directors, recovering indigent loans and using AMCON to mop up bad loans. By instituting e-payment systems, he sanitized the civil service by removing 50,000 ghost-workers in one fell swoop. He has equally got rid of ghost voters from the electoral register; over 1 million ghost voters were removed from the Zamfara INEC register alone. Under Jonathan, we have had free and fair elections one after the other; in Edo, Anambra, Ondo, Ekiti and Osun.
Agriculture has been transformed under this administration. Thanks to Jonathan, agriculture now accounts for 22% of Nigeria’s GDP, more than oil and gas which only account for 15.9%. Under Jonathan, Nigeria has recorded a more than 50% reduction in food imports. Prior to his presidency, we had a food import bill of 1.4 trillion naira. But now, it is less than N700 billion. With the innovation of dry season rice-farming, Nigeria has reached 60% self-sufficiency in rice production. According to the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), Nigeria is now the largest producer of cassava in the world. The Jonathan government built six strategically-located perishable cargo airports in Ilorin, Jalingo, Jos, Lagos, Makurdi andYola; in close proximity to Nigeria’s food baskets.
It is remarkable that Northern farmers were able to donate five million tubers of yam in order to raise 5 billion naira for Buhari’s presidential election campaign. If Jonathan’s transformation agenda in agriculture was not working as planned, they would not have been able to do this.

Honestly Buhari remains clueless on how to tackle economic issues. When he ruled Nigeria we had price control teams that forced traders to sell at particular prices rather than allow the forces of demand and supply to determine price, what happened is that we now had hoarding which caused sky rocketing inflation. For those who seem confused about the dollar issue, ask Japan and China that constantly devalues it's currency in terms with the dollar. Are their economies not thriving than America's economy?

anneedu:
PRESIDENTIAL candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday, promised to build four new refineries for the country if elected on March 28.

This is coming just as he expressed his reservation over the way and manner the Federal Government has been handling the case of over 200 abducted Chibok girls.

Buhari, who stated this during a town hall meeting on security, in Abuja, noted that: “I have said that the APC as a party has identified three fundamental problems in this country. You cannot repeat them so often, because everybody talks about them. They are insecurity, the destruction of the economy and corruption, which has become a vicious cycle.

“The state of insecurity, as we said when the election was extended by six weeks, is that if the Nigerian government and the military could me not tame Boko Haram for five years, what will they do in six weeks.

“But I think that some positive moves have been made, though we are still at it. The first thing they should have done is to make sure that you have a good plan on the ground to take care of the welfare of the law enforcement agents,” he stated.

On the missing Chibok girls, he said, “it is really a great embarrassment to this country. Since Independence, I don’t think we have been reduced to such a position as a nation, imagine the disappearance of 220 girls between the ages 14 and 18 for almost a year and government could not do anything about it and this same government says it wants to remain in place?”

Buhari, also on Wednesday, said the ruling PDP had failed the country through what he termed misrule.

He stated this during a meeting with representatives of 14 political parties, including APC, under the umbrella of Progressive Political Parties (COP3).

The parties are Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM), African Peoples Alliance (APA), KOWA party, Social Democratic Party (SDP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), HOPE Democratic Party, Democratic Peoples Party (DPP), United Peoples Party (UPP), Accord Party, Independent Democratic (ID), Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN), Action Alliance (AA) and APC.

According to him, “we appreciate the stage we are in our political development. We have been sentenced to underdevelopment by the PDP.

“We challenge the PDP, let them account for their stay in power for 16 years of rulership, in terms of the fundamental objectives we have been talking about in the three most important aspects, security, economy and corruption.

“We have been very consistent about these issues, but people who are sitting on the periphery have kept on making noise and wasting our time. Let them come and defend themselves in what they have done in the last 16 years, with the incredible resources they made within this period.

“The incredible resources this country realised within this period is much more than what the country made since the amalgamation in 1914. If you go and get this record from the Central Bank. The type of money we made in the last 16 years, we have never made it before.

“We used to have Nigeria Airways, Nigeria Shipping Line, Nigeria Railways etc. But what do we have now?, Nothing, look at the state of our Naira. Now you have to get 220 something Naira for a dollar. How can we develop under this system?,” he queried.

[color=#000099][/color] I TRIED MINE AND THE MAGIC IS REAL.

If you considered the demography of Nigeria and the population skewing. Based on your analysis however, you have already shot yourself in the foot that government agencies and news media greatly influence the rural poor. This group of iliterates as you have referred to them as (which to me is baseless and without adequate proof) constitute the bulk of our populace and surprisingly these are the same people that take elections more seriously and cast their votes.

TheLeader:
Ever wondered why Buhari wins all the online polls? Here is what I think-

I think its because the bulk of the populace that actually know what's going on in the country are the ones that have access to the internet and know how to use it, hence the overwhelming support for the opposition online. We've seen Buhari sweep polls conducted by even AIT and GEJ's aids...Surprising huh?

Why doesn't this necessarily replicate itself when it comes to the poorest of the poor?

Most...yea most Nigerians in our numerous villages that constitute the bulk of the country don't have access to the internet...or can't use it. At best they are stuck with NTA and the network news on radio...I need not state how one-sided the news here can be. Furthermore, these people(some of my friends and relatives included) are predominantly illiterates so might not have the ability to rate the Government's performance objectively, hence their inclination to vote along ethnic/religious line rather that the capability of the candidates.

...so next time you see 400 like in 3 minutes for the opposition, don't wonder if persons have multiple accounts and can switch between 50 of those accounts in 3mins just to click like...nt feasible right? well I thought so too.

These persons are just the majority of enlightened Nigerians trying to salvage whatever is left of our once great country before it is too late.

"If you try, you might fail, but if you fail to try, you've failed already".

Now you know why Buhari wins the polls online.

#MyOneKoboOpinion

I read the claims of the respected Rev. Fr. Mbaka and ever since I am trying to piece together the events leading to his fall out with Dame Patience and of course GEJ. Also bothering my mind is why at this time would he chose to make such an allegation.

Is he acting a script?

Is he by all means trying his level best to put a clog in the wheel of progress and the momentum the Jonathan campaign team has garnered since the postponement of polls to March 28, by INEC?

Are his political associate jittery at this stage and feel compelled to use him?

Has his political associates asked him to throw in the joker knowing fully well that the game is indeed up for them and the fat lady is about to sing?

Time indeed is a revealed of all things. If you would recall when dame Patience Jonathan visited him (Rev. Fr Mbaka) last year, he was practically all over her and even prayed for her and her husband. He also released four pigeons into the air, while three of them flew away and the remaining one fell to the ground, he had prophesied that to mean that the South, West and East were in full support of GEJ and that the only place he had problems was in the north. In his prayers for GEJ and Dame Patience Jonathan, he confessed openly that God is on the side of GEJ and that come what may, GEJ would defeat all his enemies and record phenomenal success in the coming elections.

God is not an author of confusion and as such he cannot send one message through his prophet and again send another contradicting message through the same mouth piece so as to cause confusion. I would at this point chose to remind the Rev. Fr of the story of Jonah in the bible. God had asked him to deliver a message to the king at Nineve, but his refusal cost him a lot of pains and suffering. However he finally complied and delivered the message. But alas the king had realised his faults and repented fully of his sins and attracted the mercies of God. He was forgiven by God and destruction did not come to Nineve and it's people. Jonah was angry with this and had to be scolded by God in a revelation.

Rev. Fr. Mbaka please you may refuse any gifts that the first couple may have sent to you, maybe, and I say maybe you have given your assurances to your sponsors. That I don't know of. But you as a human being cannot change what God has ordained and that is what you have acknowledge in your prayers earlier for the first couple, which is that God would defeat and confound all their enemies and also Jonathan would be returned as President to serve a second term in office.

Please be reminded that this is the only government that we have not experienced any politically motivated assassination ordered from the helm of affairs, irrespective of it suffering the most in criticism in the political history of Nigeria. This government has not even been irrational with the lives of perceived threats. Yaradua would have scaled this vital test had he not approved the killing of Yusuf the founder of boko haram.

Mbaka would have been picked up by Buhari and slammed into jail straight away. People who committed lesser crimes of criticizing Buhari were jailed during Buhari's administration, how much more when somebody falsely accuses the President and his wife of trying to kill him, with absolutely no evidence.
I pray Rev. Fr Mbaka is not committing the grave sin of blasphemy.

I can go on but as it 'time is a revealed of all thing'. More important people and serious political threats have not been assassinated nor thrown into prison so how come you are crying wolf?
