The same people that accuse OBJ of achieving nothing in 8 years , are the very same people seeing atiku as a visionary. grin grin So tell me Atiku's vision for the nation and why he could not use his position as VP for 8yrs to influence things and see to the actualisation of that vision?
Never said Atiku is a visionary leader my friend. you should read my post very well i dont either of them.

Jonathan’s Group Defects to Atiku’s Camp
From Chuks Okocha in Abuja and Mathew Onah in Yola , 11.21.2010
A pro-Goodluck Jonathan Campaign/Supporters group, known as the New Nigeria Project, yesterday defected to the Atiku Campaign Organisation, alleging that President Jonathan has let its members down due to what they referred to his  inability to manage and control security in the country as well as  the persisting Niger Delta crisis.

Also,  weekend,  the  visit of  former vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar,  to  the  premises of  Adamawa state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)  secretariat in Yola , was almost marred, as  party thugs engaged themselves in a free for all confrontation.

Addressing a press conference in Abuja yesterday, National Coordinator of the New Nigeria Project, comprising of 1000 groups out of the 1,750 groups championing the President Jonathan’s Presidency in 2011, Alhaji Abuduallhi Maibirgi, said  his members were defecting to the Atiku Camp  because President Jonathan has allegedly failed them.

“The style of President Goodluck Jonathan leaves much to be desired because he has developed a full head of steam by manipulating his ways than to submit himself for public approval,” Maibirgi alleged. “We have found ourselves supporting a campaign organisation that does not enjoy the acceptability of Nigerians and, more so, when it is evident that the Goodluck group is distracted by its catalogues of failures.”

He listed other reasons for their defection to include alleged insensitivity of the Jonathan Campaign  group to the plights of Nigerians, saying  the wide gap in all sectors of the economy  has defied solutions.


Accordingly, he said  they have found the Atiku Campaign Organisation a better alternative, describing   the former Vice President as a visionary leader and  role model for the current and future Nigerian generation.

Meanwhile, the weekend visit of  former vice president  to  the  premises of  Adamawa state PDP party secretariat , was almost marred, as  party thugs engaged themselves in a free for all.

  Atiku, who was visiting the state party secretariat for the first time since 2006 when he was de-registered  from the party in the wake of the third term struggles,  had driven to the secretariat, along Numan road, in a long convoy, with his supporters  singing  and shouting his praises. The situation however degenerated when  another group led by the state PDP youth leader,  Adamu Bakari, began chanting the praises of the state governor.

The ensuing fracas forced the former vice president to remain in the  conference  hall of the secretariat  for   almost one hour before  a combined team of mobile police men and other security operatives could restore  a certain measure of order before he was  driven out.

Addressing   the party executives led by the state  party secretary, Mr.  Philimon Elisha , Atiku however  charged the state party leadership to create a conducive atmosphere that would enable all former  members coming back to the party free access without discrimination to actualize their ambitions.

He stressed that internal democracy within the party was necessary  to strengthen the party, if the party is  to go and face other political parties in the forthcoming general elections.

‘’My feeling is that , any member who wants to contest should be allowed to contest’’  Atiku asserted.

Atiku  told the party leaders that he was prepared to assist the party win the forthcoming general elections, from the ward level to the presidential elections, saying  he as a person has no personal preference for any candidate in the state.

Adding that he has since forgiven any partymen who were  behind his travails  during his trying period when he sought re-entrance back in to the party and his waiver issue.

Atiku,  who disassociated himself, from the recent spate of court cases involving the party and some aggrieved members , said he did not take the party to court either directly or through proxy.

Welcoming Atiku, to the party secretariat, the state party secretary, Elisha, said the former vice president was one of the founding fathers of the party in 1999 and has remained a committed democrat.

PoliticsOctober 1 Bombings: Sss Recovers Car, Explosives by silami(op): 4:53am On Nov 19, 2010
From Constance Ikokwu in Abuja, 11.18.2010
Investigations by the State Security Service (SSS) have led to the recovery of one of the cars that was meant for detonation during the Independence Day celebration. Also, more suspects are likely to be charged to court on the 25th of this month.

The car in question was wired with explosives and loaded with 10 bullet proof jackets and camouflage vests.
Other items such as military boots, water bottle and camp tents allegedly sent by Charles Okah to one of the suspects for use by militants in the creeks were also seized.

SSS spokesman Marilyn Ogar alleged that the vehicle was one of such that was purchased by Henry Okah in Lagos for the Independence Day bombings in October this year. She spoke at a press briefing in Abuja yesterday.

The car was abandoned at a hotel in Port Harcourt after it became faulty, forcing the hotel managers to deflate the tyres following their inability to identify its owner.

According to Ogar, a nursing mother who is a sister to one of the suspects assisted investigators to piece the puzzle together.
She was apparently responsible for that particular car.

"Investigations have further revealed that not all of the vehicles wired for the bombings were detonated hence one of such has been recovered at a hotel in Port Harcourt where it was parked and has been towed back to Abuja," said Ogar.

The SSS spokesperson stated that "also recovered are military items that were sent by Charles Okah to one of the suspects for onward movement to militants in the creeks. They include military boots, water bottle and camp tents".

The items, it was gathered, were sent through a transport company that runs courier services from Lagos to Port Harcourt. The name of the company was not mentioned in order not to jeopardize investigations.

The SSS warned firms to be careful with regards to parcels they carry as they could be held responsible for the contents.
"In view of these discoveries, the Service seizes this opportunity to warn transport and courier companies to be more circumspect in handling goods for customers, as they would be held responsible for conveying prohibited items.

"Equally, car dealers are advised to obtain the full particulars of persons purchasing cars from them to avoid being held liable on grounds of suspicion for the misdeed of others," Ogar warned.

She explained that criminal networks are pretty complicated and diverse, the reason why thorough investigations are required to uncover their activities.

She went on to state that the SSS would continue to pursue investigations on the matter diligently so that culprits would be apprehended and prosecuted.

The car in question is now parked inside the SSS headquarters, behind the office complex. The items for the militants in the creeks were stuffed in a couple of “Ghana-must-go” bags.

The culprits had constructed a compartment inside the boot to conceal the military jackets and explosives.
As such, the vehicle would have been able to pass through a checkpoint without much suspicion. The battery that was to be used for the detonation was inside the car.

The camouflage jackets in the car were laced with cords used for bomb making and detonation. It looked every inch the work of professionals or people quite advanced in that kind of activity.

Okah is currently undergoing trial in South Africa on terrorism-related charges. His brother Henry was also picked up in Lagos by the SSS and charged to court in relation to the October 1 bombings.

The issue initially broke into a war of words between politicians in support of President Goodluck Jonathan and others opposing his candidacy for the presidential election next year. Jonathan was hugely criticised for making what some described as hasty comments regarding the people behind the bombings.

He had claimed they were not militants from the Niger Delta.
However, the Federal Government has promised that it will get to the root of the matter.
The SSS said investigations are on-going. The public will be informed of developments, as more suspects make confessions, the Service added.

Nairaland GeneralDoes Nairaland Shares Or Sells Our Contact Information? by silami(op): 3:57am On Nov 16, 2010
I am just curious if NL uses our profile info beside for registration purposes? since i registered on NL i kept on getting all sorts of 419 emails like the one below:

"I am sure you will be asking why I’m doing this. But believe me I come in peace. I am Mrs. Catherin Badji the wife of late Mr. Robert Badji who died some years back by a road accident. I am currently writing to you from England.

After my husband death, I became in charge of his business which was engaged in export of used clothing & Shoes to Africa and Asian Countries. Some months later, I took a step to extend the company's branch office to Africa which Benin Republique was my main target based on the fact that there is market force there.

During the course of this, I visited Benin Republique by myself through the help of Mr. Paul Hagboun the director general of Ste A.T.C Sarl, Benin Republique who helped me to conduct inquiries on the cost of opening a branch and operate in Benin Republique. Which after everything, it summed up to GBP 1.700.000.00.

Since I cannot travel along with such huge amount, I decided to pay it into the account of Ste A.T.C Sarl to enable me obtain all the documents requested by the Benin Government and pay for office and warehouse upon my arrival. A week after making the payment to the said account, I started experiencing much fatigue in my system which i went to the lab only to discovered that my Kidney is not functioning properly.

To that effect, I was advised by my doctor to quit from business so that I could have more years to live. Although I am now counting my days. As it stands now, I have decided to use the money in the care of Ste A.T.C Sarl to assist the needy through you and also support your business, since I cannot carry out this mission by myself again.

As you endeavor to assist me to carry out this mission of aid assistance, God almighty will surely bless you and those that will benefit from this philanthropic work.

If you wish to assist me in carrying out this mission, I shall be expecting your responds as soon as possible. To enable me direct you to my lawyer in Benin Republique who will help you legally to ensure that everything went on successfully to have the money in your care before I quit finally from using of computers."


Regards,
Mrs. Catherin Badji

Please how do they get my full names and info cos i dont use to get these before!

PoliticsSenate Approves Life Allowances For Gowon, Obj, Ibb, Others *wives, Children Too by silami(op): 4:42am On Nov 05, 2010
Senate approves life allowances for Gowon, OBJ, IBB, others *Wives, children too
Written by Ayodele Adesanmi, Abuja
Thursday, November 4, 2010

THE Senate, on Wednesday, approved life allowances for all former presidents, military leaders, Senate presidents and their deputies, Speakers of House of Representatives and their deputies, as well as former chief justices.

Also to benefit from the life allowances are the wives and children of late and living former presidents and vice-presidents.

The allowances will be incorporated in the annual budget of the Federal Government, which will make provision for their remuneration.


This was sequel to the passage of a Bill for Act to provide remuneration for former presidents, heads of federal legislative houses and chief justices of the federation (and other Ancillary Matters) 2010.


Consequently, Generals Yakubu Gowon, Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida, Murtala Muhammed, Olusegun Obasanjo, Sani Abacha and Abdulsalami Abubakar, would be beneficiaries, all being ex-military heads of state.


All the children and the wives of Alhaji Tafawa Balewa, Nigeria's first Prime Minister and Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, first Governor-General and the late military leaders, Generals Murtala Muhammed and Sani Abacha were included in the life-long benefit.


Also included are former Senate presidents, Anyim Pius Anyim, Adolphus Wabara, Ken Nnamani, current president, David Mark and their deputies. Past and present heads of the House of Representatives and their deputies are also part of the benefitting public office holders.


In the former amendment to Section 84 (5) of the Bill by the Senate, payment of remunerations and allowances were restricted to only elected former presidents and the vice-presidents.


According to the Senate, all the beneficiaries are to be "paid up-keep allowances from time to time by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission and shall be approved by the National Assembly.


"They are also entitled to the perquisites of office as recommended from time to time by RMAFC and approved by National Assembly."


The bill stipulated that members of the families of the deceased former presidents and their deputy presidents shall be entitled to annual payments as shall be recommended by RMAFC and approved by the National Assembly and in a manner prescribed by the National Assembly.


It added that "the allowances specified shall be applied for the upkeep of the spouses and education of the children of the deceased former presidents and deceased former vice-presidents up to the university graduate level or its equivalent."


However, sub-section 3 of the bill states that the allowance specified shall cease upon the death of the last spouse of a former public office holder.


The bill scaled the crucial second reading on Wednesday, May 27, 2009 and was then referred to the Committee on National Planning, Economic Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, chaired by Senator Zainab Kure, for further legislative action.

Just wondering what is left for the common man?

THE Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has requested to be vested with the power to control the security agencies during elections. In this way, it believes it would be in a better position to monitor the activities of law enforcement agents during the polls.
In a communiqué after its two-day national sensitization workshop on security challenges of election management in Nigeria which ended in Abuja, the commission also hinted that if given the approval it would deploy the armed forces in some difficult terrains in the country for the distribution of election materials.
Meanwhile, the Senate has undertaken the third reading of the second amendment to the Constitution and raised a six-man team for conference with the House of Representatives so that the bill could be transmitted to the state Houses of Assembly.
The six senators in the conference team are Victor Ndoma Egba (chairman), Umaru Dahiru, Ikechukwu Obiora, Shola Akinyede, Abubakar Sodangi and Idris Umar.
Also, the House of Representatives has constituted a six-member Conference Committee to work in synergy with the Senate to harmonise the amended constitution passed by both chambers of the National Assembly last Wednesday.
The members of the Committee announced by the Chamber yesterday at its plenary session presided by Speaker Dimeji Bankole are Aminu Tambuwal, John Kalipa, Nkiruka Onyejeocha, Ahmed Mustapha, Razak Adewusi and Sadiq Abubakar.
Addressing reporters in Abuja after yesterday’s plenary session, the Chairman, House Committee on Media, Eseme Eyibo said that the onus now lies with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a free and fair election in 2011.
INEC’s National Commissioner responsible for the monitoring of political parties, Mrs. Amina Bala Zakari, who read the communiqué also stressed the need for inter-agency collaboration on security challenges at all levels as a matter of urgency to avoid incidences of conflicting statements as a result of duplication of efforts in the course of the conduct and monitoring of the election. According to the communiqué, “INEC as the electoral umpire must own and manage the activities of all security agencies working under it throughout the elections and needs to sensitize relevant government agencies to this imperative as a matter of priority,” she said.
The workshop, with the theme, “Security challenges of election management: Towards the 2011 Elections” drew about 50 participants from the academia, security services, civil society organizations, the media, private security firms and election management bodies from Lesotho, Kenya, Togo, Senegal and a member of parliament from Ghana.
Other recommendations made by the participants included the need for INEC to develop special Electoral Security Strategy & Plans (ESSP) which will delineate roles for different agencies based on their competence profile and capacity as well as allocating resources to match assigned responsibilities in a transparent and accountable manner.
INEC should design and deploy appropriate training and sensitization measures to guide security personnel and agencies to be deployed for electoral purposes
INEC should enlist the military for logistics support and tactical internal security awareness. INEC should determine and deploy appropriate technologies and systems to support security operations for election management.
In conclusion, the workshop noted that emphasis on good governance would minimize security threats experienced during elections. However, it said the best guarantee for security depended on how INEC conducts itself and manages the electoral process as an impartial and decisive umpire.
