I guess dis is why our president prefer speaking to foreign media

EroticAngelina:
took them dat long to figure it out

so u agree it's a good decision?

I remember Obasanjo's book. Atiku already gathering his lieutenants ahead of 2019.

Minister of Youths and Sports Mr. Solomon
Dalung has said the Federal Government
will no longer waste tax payers’ money to
fund the Nigerian Youth Council (NYC)
because the body is under serious
manipulation by politicians and other
stakeholders.
The reason not to fund any youth group,
according to the minister, is as a result of
the leadership squabble rocking it, adding
that over six persons are claiming the
leadership of the NYC with several pending
court cases.
He stated this in Abuja during the-end-of-
the-year ceremony of the Peace Corps of
Nigeria (PCN) whose theme was “The Role
of Youth Organisation in the Promotion of
Social Change: The Future of the Nigerian
State.”
The minister promised that by next year, a
committee will be set up to register youth
organisations.
Dalung urged youths to shun violence and
embrace peace, adding that under the
leadership of President Muhammadu
Buhari; it is no longer business as usual.
His words: “If the Nigerian youths are
yearning for change and now the change
has come, they should behave themselves.
“One of the problems of the Nigerian
youths today is that they are divided
among themselves. They are divided over
the question of leadership and I keep
repeating without fear or favour that they
have allowed us ‘politicians’ to continue to
manipulate them.
“They are under serious manipulation and
they operate under the instructions of
those that manipulate them. This informed
why I found it difficult to take sides when I
assumed duty as a minister.
As a minister, I have withdrawn that right
that there is no youth organisation
recognised by the Ministry of Youths and
Sports. As a government, we will not do
any business with them.
“We will not use the tax payers’ money and
waste it on those that are fighting.
“In the New Year, we are going to set up a
committee that will register youth
organisations. But for now, we will not
spend a ‘kobo’ on briefcase youth
organisations and the law requires them to
have offices in not less than 24 states in
Nigeria. We cannot endorse fraud.
“We are willing to redefine ourselves to
support the youth to ensure that we
provide job for them so that they can be
gainfully employed so as to be leaders of
this great country.
“I congratulate the Peace Corps for
wonderful work it’s doing for the youth of
this country. Without peace, Nigeria cannot
achieve anything.”
The National Commandant of the PCN, Mr.
Dickson Akoh commended the National
Assembly for taking serious the PCN bill
which he said has scaled through second
reading.
Akoh advised youths to key into President
Buhari’s agenda and also shun violence.
He admonished politicians not to use
youths to achieve their negative goals.

The governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf
Aregbesola, has identified building state-of-the-
art schools to impart knowledge and build strong
characters in the Osun children as a priceless
legacy his administration is determined to leave
behind in the state.
The governor, while commissioning the newly
completed N130million Olufi Government Middle
School in Gbongan, stated that his government
sees school as an investment that will impact on
the future of Osun and the society in general. Aregbesola stated that the belief in building a
better society has guided the state’s policy and
aspirations on education, noting that the present
administration in Osun has revolutionised
education.
He said that the new Olufi Government Middle
School has risen from its ashes to a 1,450
capacity school with 29 classrooms that can
accommodate 50 pupils each.
Aregbesola pointed out that government, in
arriving at the school concept, considered
international best practices hence the
construction of public schools of world standard
in different communities of the state.
He also stated that the government is aware that
a beautiful, well equipped and attractive learning
environment will bring out the best in the
teachers and learners.

King of Saudi Arabia Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for the clash between the army and the Shi’ite sect that led to the death of not less than ten members of the sect while leaving 200 injured. In a telephone conversation with the President, King Salman described the clash as fight against terrorism. The two leaders also discussed crucial issues of bilateral relations and ongoing events in both their countries. The King expressed his outright support of Saudi Arabia for Nigeria in its ongoing fight against terrorism. He also emphasized that Saudi Arabia stands firmly behind African country following a series of recent terrorist attacks. He added that criminal acts such as terrorism is not accepted in Islam and he asserted his kingdom will not be involved in any kind of foreign intervention aimed at destabilizing the security and stability of Nigeria.

Former Minister of Finance Ngozi Okonjo-
Iweala yesterday confirmed that she approved
the transfer of $322 million Abacha loot to
former National Security Adviser (NSA)
Sambo Dasuki to prosecute the fight against
Boko Haram. But she said it was a loan.
Dr. Okonjo-Iweala has been under attack,
mainly from Edo State Governor Adams
Oshiomhole for allowing expenditure without
authorisation.
Through her media adviser, Paul Nwabuikwu,
in a statement last night, the former minister
said: “Some new Abacha funds of about $322
million were returned with another $700m still
expected to be returned. Former President
(Goodluck) Jonathan set up a Committee
comprising the former Minister of Justice,
former NSA and the former Minister of
Finance to determine how best to use both
the returned and expected funds for
development.”
Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala said at the meeting, “the
NSA made a case for using the returned
funds for urgent security operations since, he
noted, there cannot be any development
without peace and security. Based on this, a
decision was taken to deploy about $322m for
the military operations, while the expected
$700m would be applied for development
programmes as originally conceived.”
Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala stated that based on the
urgency of the NSA’s memo, she requested
former President Goodluck Jonathan “to
approve the transfer of the requested amount
to the NSA’s Office for the specified
purposes.”
Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala, referring to the meeting’s
memo, said she “insisted on three conditions:
a. only a part, not the entire Abacha funds,
would be spent on the arms; the rest would
be invested in developmental projects as
originally conceived b. the money was to be
treated as borrowed funds which would be
paid back as soon as possible and c. the
NSA’s office was to account for the spending
to the President who was the Commander-in-
Chief, given the fact that the Minister of
Finance is not part of the security
architecture and does not participate in the
Security Council.
“Throughout 2014, there were public
complaints by the military hierarchy to
President Goodluck Jonathan about the
inadequacy of funds to fight the anti-terror
war in the North East, resulting in Boko
Haram making gains and even taking
territories. A lot of the criticism was directed
at the Federal Ministry of Finance under Dr
Okonjo-Iweala which was accused of not
doing enough to find funds for the
operations.”

“I think the ex-NSA decided not to open up based on the advice of his lawyers that he should leave everything for the open court. “The EFCC operatives, however, obliged Dasuki a copy of the statement by a former Director of Finance in the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), Shaibu Salisu in which the latter made some implicating statements. “Dasuki, who was shocked by Salisu’s confessions, repeatedly asked: ‘You mean Salisu wrote all these! You mean he said these! Give me a pen and paper’. “Thereafter, Dasuki decided to open a can of worms. He gave a long list of PDP chieftains who collected money from the Office of the NSA. “He mentioned the names of a former Deputy National Chairman of PDP, ex-governors and ex-ministers and many others. “As I am talking to you, Dasuki is still writing his statement. The disclosures of the ex- Director of Finance in ONSA have assisted greatly in getting to the bottom of the armsgate. “So, the investigation is still on. We will certainly arrest more suspects soon.” There were indications that the anti-graft commission may extend its probe to the seizure of $9million cash by South Africa and quiz all those involved in the botched deal. An Israeli suspect implicated in the deal is said to have bolted after throwing a lavish party at his Wuse residence. Former Sokoto State Governor Attahiru Bafarawa, AIT Chairman Raymond Dokpesi and former Minister Bashir Yuguda were yesterday battling for bail. It was learnt that the EFCC was planning to arraign some of the suspects in court to enable the agency keep the more than 22 suspects being interrogated in custody. The EFCC is said to be mindful of a situation in which the high-profile suspects will rush to court to seek the enforcement of their fundamental rights and truncate the investigation. A source, who pleaded not to be named, said many suspects had admitted collecting huge sums of money from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) when Dasuki was in charge. Said the source: “Our investigators have isolated these areas of probe: Were the funds budgeted for? If not, what informed extra- budgetary expenses? How much was actually voted for arms procurement? How were the funds sourced? Who or which agency awarded all the contracts? Who were the contractors? Was there any evidence of delivery of equipment? What will make any Minister to run to ONSA for funds? “These are the areas our detectives have been mandated to look at.” On other suspects, the source explained that some of the diverted funds had been traced to a bureau de change owned by a former member of the staff of the ONSA. “Some Bureau de Change operators were accomplices of many of these suspects in custody. We are tracking every transaction. “On daily basis, we will keep on inviting more suspects because the syndicate has a complex networking,” the source added. As at press time last night, Bafarawa, Dokpesi and Yuguda were still battling for bail. A source said: “We have not released any of them because they are clearing some grey areas.” Another source in EFCC said the agency would extend its probe to the seizure of the $9.34m cash smuggled into South Africa. The cash was confiscated by the South Africa from an Israeli arms dealer of Cyprus- based ESD International, who acted on behalf of the Federal Government to procure arms for Nigeria. Part of the cash was for six “civilian” helicopters from a South African company, Tier One. The National Prosecuting Authority of South Africa recently received a court permission to return the cash to Nigeria.

FORMER National Security Adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki has made some “mind- boggling” revelations on the $2billion “phoney” arms contracts, a source said yesterday. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and a Federal Government committee are probing how huge sums of money meant for procurement of arms went down the drain during the Dr. Goodluck Jonathan administration. An interim report indicates that about $2billion may have been disbursed for inexplicable reasons. Dasuki was arrested on Tuesday by the Department of State Services (DSS). He was transferred to the EFCC. An EFCC source said: “When Dasuki was brought in, he initially refused to write any statement, alleging that he had been subjected to media trial.
