MabraO:
Those speeches re speeches of fools nd of drunken men

Am not surprised he is ur role model op

And I know Abubakar Shekau is your own role model mad cow

1 My brothers and sisters,
we are all winners. In this
context there is no victor
and no vanquished. We
have demonstrated, even
in our diversity, the
progress of Nigeria
remains paramount for all

2 We want to lead a
country where people
will be less greedy.
Where people will know
that the commonwealth
of Nigeria belongs to all
Nigerians, where
people's wealth depends
on the people around
you. If you become a rich
person and everyone
around you is poor you
are very poor.

3 One thing that I know and
I feel Nigerians will
celebrate is continuity
and peace.

4When you talk about the
oil wealth you compare
nations. There are some
nations with less than
five million people.
Nigeria has 150 million
people. I cannot say that
all the money earned
from oil since 1958, when
the first drop of oil was
exported from this
country to date, that the
money has been
effectively used.

5 The argument about
zoning and the
presidency of Nigeria is
like the philosophical
argument of the egg or
the hen. Who is older
through the evolutionary
process, who came first?

Sometimes politicians forget that they have said several
months or even years ago. But media remembers
everything. Do you recall these quotations of two
potential ‘duellists’: President Goodluck Jonathan and
General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd)?
1. On elections 2015:
“My dear, I do not like to talk about it. I’m not interested in
2015 because you and I do not know whether we will reach
2015. We do not know who will be alive to witness 2015. The
truth is, 2015 is really not my business and it is politically
irresponsible for people to be talking about 2015,” Goodluck
Jonathan, January 2013, about his participation in 2015
elections.

Elections In 2015
“This campaign is the third and last one for me. I will not
offer myself again for election into the office of president,”
Gen. Buhari promised that the 2011 presidential contest
would be his last one. On October 15, 2014 he declared that
he would run for presidency in 2015 .
2. On Boko Haram:
“No, no, no!! Boko Haram is not as a result of misrule;
definitely not. Sometimes people say it is as a result of
poverty; definitely not. Boko Haram is a local terror group,”
President Goodluck Jonathan said in an interview with CNN’s
Christiane Amanpour, 2013.
In his return, Muhammadu Buhari, on October 15,
Wednesday, called the Boko Haram sect “Godless people,
marauding murderers in communities and kidnappers.”
3. On corruption:
“Over 70% of what are called corruption (cases), even by
EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) and
other anti-corruption agencies, is not corruption, but
common stealing,” the most famous quote from Goodluck
Jonathan’s 7th media chat, May 2014.
“We will stop corruption and make the ordinary people, the
weak and the vulnerable our top priority,” Gen. Buhari said
during his declaration of participating in the 2015 elections.
4. On each other:
“We have decided to rescue Nigeria from the Poverty
Development Party,” and“PDP has done a lot of damage to
our country, this time around we will deal with them,”
Buhari’s supporter, ex House of Reps Member Dino
Melaye stated during All Progressives Congress (APC) rally
and Buhari’s declaration in Abuja on October 15, 2014.
The response by Jonathan’s media aide, Dr. Reuben Abati,
came almost immediately. President Jonathan’s media aide
described Buhari’s claims made in the declaration speech as
“reckless, baseless, and unsupportable”. Dr Abati said
Buhari’s statements reflect the bad nature of the political
opposition in Nigeria.
5. On Islam
Apart from declarations on Boko Haram, Muhammadu
Buhari clearly challenged Muslims and the government to
implement the Sharia law on full scale. In a speech, which
he delivered at a seminar organized by the Supreme Council
of Sharia in Nigeria, August 2001, the retired general said:
“I will continue to show openly and inside me the total
commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all
over Nigeria… God willing, we will not stop the agitation for
the total implementation of the Sharia in the country.”
At the same time, his counterpart likes to call for unity:
“Whether we are Muslims or Christians; rich or poor; from
the north or the south; east or west; regardless of our
political affiliations. This is a time to pull together” , Goodluck
Jonathan’s speech on the 53rd anniversary of the country’s
independence.

A 31-year-old driver, Tola Omoleke, on Thursday
appeared before an Oshodi Magistrates’ Court, Lagos,
charged with pouring fuel on two police officers to set them
ablaze.
Omoleke, who resides at No. 33, Moshalasi St., Ejigbo,
Lagos, is being tried for threat to life and assault.
The prosecutor, Cpl. Kehinde Olatunde, told the court that
the accused committed the offences on Oct. 3 at Dopemu,
Lagos.
He said the accused assaulted two police officers — ASP
James Agboru and Cpl. Ali Sakuru — while performing their
lawful duties.
“The accused assaulted the officers by fighting and punching
them. He also poured fuel on the policemen and threatened
to set them ablaze.
“It was the quick intervention of people that averted the
disaster,’’ said Olatunde.
The prosecutor said the accused, who drove his car without
a driver’s licence, damaged a Toyota Sienna car, property of
one Mr Sheu Yisa, in his escape bid.
“The accused damaged a car while trying to escape from the
law enforcement agents.
“He refused to stop but unfortunately for him his truck broke
down at Dopemu.
“The complainants tried to arrest him but he resisted;
instead, he started assaulting them,’’ he added.
According to Olatunde, the offences contravene Sections 172
and 238 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
The Section 238 prescribes life imprisonment for offenders.
The accused pleaded innocence of the offences and was
granted bail in the sum of N50, 000 with two sureties in like
sum.
The Magistrate, Mr Akeem Fashola, adjourned the case till
Oct. 31 for mention.

Four women in Saudi Arabia have been jailed for preparing
their sons to wage war and for supporting Al-Qaeda, official
media said, in the kingdom’s latest “terrorist” convictions.
They were sentenced to between six and 10 years in prison,
the Saudi Press Agency reported late Wednesday following
the verdicts.
It said a court convicted the women on charges including
“preparing some of their sons to fight in conflict areas
believing that it is required by Islam”.
They were also found guilty of “supporting Al-Qaeda”,
accessing blocked Internet sites, and downloading “audio-
visual material related to fighting.”
It did not say when the offences occurred or give the
nationalities of the accused, although three were issued with
travel bans, suggesting they are Saudi nationals.
The kingdom’s top cleric, Sheikh Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh, has
urged young Muslims not to be influenced by “calls for
jihad… on perverted principles”.
He has described Al-Qaeda and IS jihadists as “enemy
number one” of Islam.
Authorities in 2011 established specialised tribunals to try
Saudis and foreigners accused of belonging to Al-Qaeda or
of involvement in deadly attacks in the kingdom from
2003-2006. The latest convictions come with Saudi Arabia and its Gulf
neighbours participating in US-led air strikes against Islamic
State group extremists in Syria.
King Abdullah in February decreed jail terms of up to 20
years for citizens who travel abroad to fight, after the
conflict in Syria attracted hundreds of Saudis.

The Zimbabwe students’ union on Thursday made war not
love over a new code of conduct banning students from
kissing on campus at the country’s top university.
In a circular displayed at halls of residence, authorities at
the University of Zimbabwe said students “caught in any
intimate position such as kissing or having sex in public
places” would be punished.
The university also barred resident students from bringing
members of the opposite sex to their hostels and “loitering
in dark places outside the sports pavilion or lecture venues.”
Student leader Gilbert Mutubuki said students would resist
the rules introduced two weeks ago.
“We are against these rules which we view as archaic,
repressive and evil,” Mutubuki, president of the Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASSU) told AFP.
“We are urging students to resist the rules. These rules
reduce the university to a primary school. The authorities
need to be reminded that this is an institute for adults who
are mature.”
He said the rules, which also bar students from
accommodating non-resident colleagues, were meant to
curtail students’ right to associate.
“We believe these are security measures meant to limit
students from associating.”
Until Zimbabwe introduced tough security laws, university
students often staged anti-government protests sometimes
joining forces with trade unions and rights groups.

As HND Discrimination Bill narrowly scales second reading
in senate
Abuja – The Bill for an Act to Abolish and Prohibit Dichotomy
and Discrimination between First Degrees and Higher
National Diploma in the same Profession/Field and related
matters on Wednesday scaled second reading in the Senate.
The bill, which scaled second reading after heated debate at
plenary on its relevance, seeks to resolve controversy over
wage disparity and gross discrimination against HND holder
in public and private sectors of the economy.
The Senate President, Sen. David Mark in his remarks, said it
would be difficult to legislate on the bill, given that
polytechnics were not originally established to be degree
awarding institutions.
He said rather than canvass for abolishion of the dichotomy,
polytechnics should be changed to degree awarding
institutions.
“ The problem here is whether we can legislate on this. I
think obviously that is not going to work for several reasons
that we have all advanced here.
“We can’t legislate here and say you must employ an HND
instead of employing somebody with B.SC.
“I think it is more of attitude than what we can legislate on
but we can get an arrangement where the polytechnics begin
to award degrees, in which case the polytechnics will no
more be polytechnics; they will be universities,’’ he said.
Mark, who did not outrightly condemn the bill, said it should
be sent for public hearing, to get the views of relevant
stakeholders on the way forward on the issue of dichotomy.
He, however, said that “our attempt really to equate HND to
a degree is not likely to work. Nobody who has done a
degree has gone back to the polytechnic to do HND and you
can’t blame that logic.
“The whole essence of allowing the bill to go through second
reading and public reading is for us to get more ideas about
how to get the way forward.
“That will be the only
benefit that will
come out it’’, he said.
The lead debate,
presented by Sen.
Patrick Akinyelure
(PDP-Ondo),
highlighted the need
to abolish the
discrimination between HND and First Degree.
Akinyelure said the continuing discrimination against HND
holders was threatening to ruin the nation’s core policy
thrust of evolving a technological and scientifically based
society.
He said that findings had proved that some polytechnic
graduates were in some cases better on the field than their
university counterparts.
“To all intents and purposes, a government employment
policy that places degree holders ahead of HND holders
without recourse to skill and ability of the HND holder
thereof does more harm than good to the nation’s
development plans.
“Therefore, the aim of the bill is to promote the
technological advancement of our great nation by
encouraging many qualified candidates to pursue
polytechnic and technological advancement,’’ he said.
Some lawmakers, however, argued that rather than seeking
to abolish the dichotomy, efforts should be made to
transform all polytechnics to degree awarding institutions.
The Deputy Senate President, Sen. Ike Ekweremadu, said
even if the bill did not succeed, it would help to raise
awareness on the dysfunctional nature of the country’s
educational system.
He decried the growing trend where polytechnics offered
courses outside their field, adding that in order to correct
the abnormally, all polytechnics should be converted to
degree awarding institutions.
“All we need now is to expand the knowledge base of our
polytechnics, increase entry qualification and employ
qualified teachers for the polytechnics.
“We should then make conscious effort to set up technical
schools that would award only diploma to support our
industries and help the system industrially.
“To say we will abolish the dichotomy is difficult. The
committee to handle the bill should invite experts to look
into harmonising the institutions,’’ he said.
On his part, Sen. ITA Enang (PDP-Akwa Ibom) decried the
poor standard of some polytechnics in the country.
He called on the regulatory body in charge of polytechnics to
adequately regulate the establishment of the institution in
the country.
“I have seen polytechnics operate in two bedroom flats and
this is the situation that brings suspicion about the quality of
our polytechnics.
“I have also seen standard polytechnics and the quality of
their product compete favourably with universities.”
He called on relevant agencies to improve on the carrying
capacity of universities to accommodate all those seeking
admissions.
He also called for harmonisation of universities and
polytechnics to help manage a situation where people went
to polytechnics because they could not secure admission
into universities.
“This bill should pass a second reading to find solution to
the problem. I support this bill,’’ he said.
Sen. Chris Ngige (APC-Anambra) said in as much as he
sympathised with HND holders, the bill should be dropped.
He said that relevant agencies should rather harmonise the
institutions and make polytechnics degree awarding
institutions.
“The bill evokes emotion but laws should not be made based
on that to avoid mistakes. This has to do with fundamental
structure of the education sector.
“Let us conserve the resources of the senate; it will not go
through second reading,’’ he said.
Sen. Abubakar Bagudu ( PDP-Kebbi), a member of Senate
Committee Education, said if the dichotomy should be
abolished, there would be standardisation of policy.
He argued that standardisation of policy was vital because
universities and polytechnics had different structures.
“The university is theory and research oriented as compared
to polytechnic which is supposed to turn out industrial ready
graduates,’’ he said.
Similarly, Prof. Olusola Adeyeye (APC-Osun), the Vice
Chairman of Senate Committee on Education, canvassed for
the harmonisation of the institutions to enable polytechnics
to award degrees.
“I believe that for as long as there is difference in admission
standard and training for both institutions of learning, there
will be difference in employment.
“ Let us go the U.S. way and equalise both polytechnics and
universities and have specialised institutions to handle the
technical aspect.’’
The lawmaker explained that Nigeria inherited the
polytechnic system from the colonial masters, who thought
of having a middle level manpower where people could be
trained without the lengthy period in university.
He further explained that UK subsequently abolished the
system after meeting the purpose for which it was
established to meet its industrial need.
“We need to make the admission standard the same for
polytechnics and universities; forget the dichotomy issue. It
is a lie to say you need HND to run an industrial state,” he
said.(NAN)

.

bus conductor was reportedly beaten to coma yesterday, August
22 by a female Nigerian soldier over money at Iyana Isashi, along
Lagos- Badagry expressway in Lagos State.
The soldier who was dressed in mufti had boarded a bus at Mile 2 and was
going to Agbara area of Ogun State.
She was said to have given the conductor N500 and when she demanded
for her balance, he said he had already given her and this resulted in an
argument.
Other passengers in the vehicle supported the woman’s claims, asking the
conductor to give her balance to her but he turned a deaf ear.
According to one of the passengers, Ikechukwu Obi who spoke to
Leadership, the woman even identified herself as a soldier but the
conductor still continued to prove stubborn.
Angered by the conductor’s stubbornness, the female soldier ordered the
driver to park the bus and then she grabbed the conductor by his collar.

It was when the conductor threatened to beat her that she lost it. She
dragged him out of the car and beat him to stupor.
