PoliticsRe: Jonathan, Buhari In Private Meeting In Abuja by simongonner: 11:30am On Mar 26, 2015
Professor Wole Soyinka said, "Only four sets of
people can vote and
support Goodluck Jonathan 2015 agenda:
(1) those who are intellectually blind.
(2) those who are blinded by ethnicity.
(3) those who are blinded by corruption and
therefore afraid of the unknown,

PoliticsWith Change We'll Move From Bad To Better - Dame Jonathan by simongonner(op): 9:53pm On Mar 25, 2015
Lady, Dame Jonathan, may have just said that
voting for the presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress, Muhammadu Buhari, will
only see Nigeria ‘move from bad to better’.
According to the wife of the president, if sworn in on
May 29, Buhari would only build prisons, instead of
schools.
Patience Jonathan made the utterance at a rally
organized by the women wing of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), in Akure, Ondo State, on
Tuesday, March 24.She said: “If you vote Buhari, you vote for prison.
When the PDP is busy building schools, they are busy
thinking of building jails. We will not allow our
children to be put in jail, God forbid. We pray for
oneness, we pray for unity, we pray for peace.”
“He was a former Head of State, he did not build
Almajiri schools. It was Goodluck Jonathan that built
the schools. Ask him what he did for women when he
was Head of State. It was Goodluck Jonathan that
remembered women.”
“They said we should change, we can only move from
bad to better, not from better to bad. Jonathan has
done well and will do even better if returned. They
have nothing to show,” she added.
However, it should be noted that Dame Patience
Jonathan has recently been involved in series of
controversies over her scandalous quotes directed at
the opposition. She was criticised over trying to incite
violence in the country ahead of the general
elections, to which the president’s wife responded
that she is “a woman of peace” who hates violence

PoliticsPDP Fine Tunes Strategy, As FG May Soon Announce Rescue Of Chibok Girls by simongonner(op): 10:41am On Mar 25, 2015
With a few days to Nigeria’s presidential polls, an
online news agency, Empowered Newswire, is
reporting that the Federal Government may be on the cusp of announcing the release of 219 Chibok
schoolgirls abducted April 14, 2014 in a final
dramatic push to sway voters to support incumbent
President Goodluck Jonathan. The newswire service reported that its sources in
Abuja disclosed that the surprise rescue of the
schoolgirls, whose abduction a year ago sparked
global outrage, “is meant to swing the electioneering
tide of things in favor of PDP’s presidential candidate
and incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan who
faces a stiff opposition in Saturday’s election against
his APC contender, General Muhammadu Buhari.”
Newswire stated that the “pre-arranged” release of
the kidnapped schoolgirls was seen as a winner.
Empowered Newswire stated that the Jonathan
administration and PDP had been considering a
variety of strategies to ensure that Mr. Jonathan is
reelected, or at least to thwart the electoral triumph
of Mr. Buhari. According to the site, one option the
president and his party have considered is “the idea
of an Interim National Government.”
Citing sources close to the military, Newswire
reported that “there is a buzz in military circles that
sometimes during the week, the military may
announce the release of the girls.”
The newswire added that the leaders of the
BringBackOurGirls campaign were aware of the
development “as they confirm[ed] that words have
been sent to the parents of the girls located in Borno,
Kano and Kaduna states that they should be prepared
to identify their children and wards sometimes this
week. It is in fact believed that the parents might be
asked to report in Abuja to facilitate the identification
of the girls.”
According to Empowered newswire, some of the
leaders of the movement for the girls’ rescue said
they would rejoice if the girls return, but added that
such suspicious timing of the girls’ release would
indicate “the wickedness of our government.”
The news service quoted some political observers as
questioning the government’s reported plan to use
the fate of the girls for political advantage.
“The argument is that if the release of the girls is
being planned that might suggest foul play
somewhere,” stated the website, adding that its US
sources were skeptical about the speculated plan.
Even so, Newswire quoted a BringBackOurGirls
official as declaring that, if the government planned
to announce the release of the girls in order to
bolster the president’s electoral prospects, “that
would amount to… the worst form of
aggrandizement. And it is God Himself that will
punish such wickedness on the part of some of our
government officials.”
The website added that there were also unconfirmed
claims that the Federal Government would announce
a salary increase sometime this week as another
measure to build a political momentum for the PDP
in the presidential and national polls. Newswire
noted that several Federal Government agencies
were already behind in the payment of workers’
salaries.
Newswire reported that President Jonathan’s threat
late last week to arrest those talking about an interim
government seemed to put the final lid on that idea.
It noted the president’s spokesman, Reuben Abati,
had mentioned the idea in a public statement where
he claimed that former President Olusegun Obasanjo
wanted to be the head of an interim government.
Newswire reported that President Jonathan, the PDP
and their political allies were “yet to perceive a water-
tight strategy to win Saturday’s election regardless of
some of the public show of bravery.” It added:
“Besides, even the party Chairman last week ruled
out a landslide, in what observers say is a revelation
of real fears and worry within the ruling party circles
and Aso Rock.”
In the report, Empowered Newswire linked last
week’s violent protests in Lagos by the Odua Peoples
Congress (OPC) demanding the removal of Attahiru
Jega, the chairman of Nigeria’s electoral commission,
as “indicative of the fact that PDP is still very unsure
how the elections would end up on Saturday. It is
believed that PDP and friends of the president are
behind those OPC protests in Lagos where the
protesters were displaying different weapons.”
Newswire reported that international sources were
confident that Mr. Jonathan would respect the results
of the election, adding, however, “many hawks
around the president have been identified as those
responsible for developing ideas on how to ensure a
decent way to rig the election or just prevent Buhari
from becoming president.” www.saharareporters.com/2015/03/24/pdp-fine-tunes-strategy-win-polls-fg-may-soon-announce-rescue-chibok-girls-empowered
PoliticsSpill Blood If Necessary: Deputy Governor Ikuru Urges Rivers People To Fight APC by simongonner(op): 10:32am On Mar 25, 2015
The Rivers State Deputy Governor, Tele Ikuru, on
Monday asked the Peoples Democratic Party faithful
to fight and redeem the state from the All
Progressives Party, even if it means shedding their
blood. Mr. Ikuru made the call in Port Harcourt to a crowd
of PDP supporters who turned out to welcome him
after his defection from the APC.
“It is necessary for the sake of your fathers, for the
sake of your mothers, for the sake of your brothers
and sisters and for the sake of your children, every
Rivers man must stand up to fight this evil among
us,” Mr. Ikuru said. “If it demands your blood, so be
it.”
The deputy governor also told the PDP supporters
how his friend and boss, Governor Rotimi Amaechi,
deceived him into leaving the party in 2013.
According to him, Mr. Amaechi made him to believe
that joining the APC was the new order.
“I was deceived, I must confess,” he said. ” I was told
that it was a new order. I did not know that it was all
about the ambition of an individual. I say big thank
you to you all PDP members because, when I was
deceived out of PDP, if all of you had not stood your
ground to keep the party alive, where would I have
returned to?
“In our darkness, we thought that we were in the
right place. What is happening in Rivers State today
will haunt all of us if we allow it to go unchallenged.”
He announced that his supporters across the 23 local
government areas of the state have agreed to dump
the ruling APC.
Mr. Ikuru, who said genuine peace will return to the
state after the March 28 presidential election,
introduced some of his top supporters who defected
with him including the former Deputy Mayor of Port
Harcourt City, Victor Ere, APC Secretary in Andoni
Local Government Area, Kingston Silvanus, amongst
others.
Meanwhile, a source has told PREMIUM TIMES that
Mr. Ikuru has started moving things out of his official
quarters barely two days after he dumped APC for
the PDP.
The embattled deputy governor is said to have
started moving his personal belongings from his Old
GRA official residence on Monday night.
According to the source, Mr. Ikuru is moving to his
personal house located in Eagle Island, one of the
water locked areas of Port Harcourt city.
“We saw people moving things out of the residence in
the night and it is likely he is moving back to his
personal house,” the source said.
The deputy governor might have decided to flee from
his official residence to forestall being thrown out by
Governor Amaechi.
Mr. Amaechi was sacked from his official quarters in
2007 when he would not yield to the PDP’s decision to
replace him with his cousin, Celestine Omehia, as the
PDP governorship candidate for that year’s election.
Mr. Amaechi was the speaker of the state house of
assembly from 1999 – 2007 and was tipped to take
over from the then Governor, Peter Odili.
However, during the PDP’s South-South zonal rally in
Port Harcourt, former President, Olusegun Obasanjo,
told party faithful that the gubernatorial ticket Mr.
Amaechi won during the primary had a “K-leg”.
Instead of handing Mr. Amaechi the party’s flag, it
was given to his cousin, Mr. Omehia, in a move that
pitched the two brothers against each other.
When Mr. Amaechi challenged the party’s decision in
court, his boss, Mr. Odili, immediately ordered
security operatives to throw his personal belongings
out of the speaker’s official residence.
The spokesperson for the Deputy Governor, Edna
Alete, declined comment when PREMIUM TIMES
contacted on whether or not Mr. Ikuru has moved
out of his official residence. www.saharareporters.com/2015/03/24/spill-blood-if-necessary-decamped-rivers-state-deputy-governor-ikuru-urges-rivers-people
PoliticsJonathan May Be Overthrown Before Saturday’s Election by simongonner(op): 10:53pm On Mar 23, 2015
A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has
warned that the March 28 and April 11 elections may
be sabotaged by anti-democratic forces, which could
lead the military to stage a coup d’etat and set in
place an interim government.
Mr. Falana, who stated this in a speech delivered at
the Foursquare Gospel Church owned Life
Theological Seminary, Ikorodu, on Sunday, said
despite assurances by President Goodluck Jonathan
and the Independent National Electoral Commission,
there was no indication that the election will hold as
billed.
He also warned of the likelihood of post-election
violence should the vote go forward.
Both President Jonathan and the Independent
Electoral Commission chair, Attahiru Jega, have
maintained that the new election dates are
sacrosanct.
“There is no indication that the election will hold,” he
said. “If the INEC goes ahead with the conduct of the
elections there are fears that the exercise may be
sabotaged by anti-democratic forces. If the election
holds the results may be rejected leading to a post-
election violence which may threaten the corporate
existence of the nation.
“In the circumstance, an interim government may be
established and be saddled with the task of preparing
the country for another political transition. In the
alternative, a coup d’etat that may be staged by the
top echelon of the armed forces under the pretext of
restoring law and order and fighting the menace of
insurgency. The military wing of the ruling parties
succeeded in Mali and Burkina Faso. But having
divided the country along ethnic and religious lines,
the masterminds of the political crisis are not likely
to profit from the perfidy.”
He therefore, asked Nigerians to prepare “for a long
drawn out battle for the liberation of the country
from political and economic predators”.
In his speech, the lawyer commended the renewed
onslaught against the deadly terror group, Boko
Haram, in the North-East region of Nigeria by both
the federal government and the Nigerian military.
He, however, asked the military to discontinue the
court martial of several solders who had earlier
complained about lack of sophisticated weapons to
face the insurgents.
He said the government’s admittance that it
purchased new equipment for the fight to succeed,
meant that the soldiers were justified in the earlier
protest.
He also asked the Federal Government to implement
the recommendations of the Ambassador Usman
Gilmatiri presidential panel on insurgency in the
north east region and embark on a special
programme to address the problems of child
education and youth unemployment in the region.
On the state of the nation’s economy, Mr. Falana said
the bulk of the intervention funds created by the
Goodluck Jonathan-led administration was for the
rich.
According to Mr. Falana, the funds including-
Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme (N69billion);
Commercial Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme
(N200billion); the Nigerian Incentive-Based Risk
Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (N200billion)
; Small and Medium Enterprises Credit Guarantee
Scheme (N200billion); the SMEs Restructuring and
Refinancing Scheme (N200billion) and Power and
Airlines Intervention Fund (N300billion) are yet to
have effect on the economy.
“Sequel to the crash in the price of crude oil the
Federal Government announced that austerity
measures would be imposed on the hapless Nigerian
people,” he said. “Because of the gross
mismanagement of the economy by the government
and its allies workers are now salaries for months.
After the elections the people are going to be made
to bear the brunt of the looting of the treasury and
costs of running the government.
“But in spite of the grinding poverty in the land
Nigerian legislators are said to be the highest paid in
the world. The country’s public officers equally
receive the highest estacodes in the world. With over
10 aircraft Nigeria has the largest presidential fleet
among the developing nations in the world.”
The lawyer also accused the Central Bank of Nigeria
of “dollarization of the economy”.
“In a bid to dollarize the economy and destroys the
Nigerian economy the CBN supplies millions of
dollars to the foreign exchange market on a weekly
basis,” he said. “Although Nigeria has become the
largest importer of the United States dollars in the
world neither the International Monetary Fund (IMF)
nor the World Bank has ever questioned the reckless
devaluation of the economy. Even, the National
Assembly which is debating the 2015 Appropriation
Bill has not deemed it to consider the deleterious
effects of the increasing devaluation of the national
currency on the implementation of the Budget.”
The media was also not left out as Mr. Falana
accused the media of diverting attention from
Nigeria’s problem of youth unemployment,
infrastructural decay, insecurity, corruption, currency
devaluation to giving undue prominence to the
campaign of calumny and character assassination
embarked upon by some politicians.
“The media have thrown caution to the winds by
colluding with certain politicians to divert attention
from the crises of youth unemployment,
infrastructural decay, insecurity, corruption, currency
devaluation etc,” he said. “Thus, by giving undue
prominence to the campaign of calumny and
character assassination embarked upon by some
politicians the media have denied the Nigerian
people the opportunity to make informed decisions
on the candidates of their choice.” www.newspunch.org/jonathan-may-be-overthrown-before-saturdays-election-falana-raise-fresh-alarm/
PoliticsBREAKING: Court Bars Use Of Soldiers In Election by simongonner(op): 2:48pm On Mar 23, 2015
A Federal High Court in Lagos has ruled that the
Nigerian Armed Forces have no role in the conduct of
elections in the country.
The court relied on a recent Court of Appeal ruling
that barred the use of soldiers in the conduct of
elections, stating that it was a violation of Section
217(2)(c) of the Constitution and Section 1 of the
Armed Forces Act.
The appellate court had also relied on a judgment by
a Federal High Court in Sokoto last January also
barring the use of armed forces in the conduct of
elections.
The latest ruling says the Nigerian government
should not deploy soldiers at polling units, a plan
that had generated controversy between the ruling
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the opposition
All Progressives Congress, APC.

PoliticsSingapore's Founding Father Lee Kuan Yew Dies At 91 by simongonner(op): 8:30am On Mar 23, 2015
Lee Kuan Yew, the statesman who transformed
Singapore from a small port city into a wealthy
global hub, has died at the age of 91.
The city-state's prime minister for 31 years, he was
widely respected as the architect of Singapore's
prosperity.
But he was criticised for his iron grip on power.
Under him freedom of speech was tightly restricted
and political opponents were targeted by the courts.
A state funeral will be held on 29 March, after a week
of mourning.
In an emotional televised address, his son Prime
Minister Lee Hsien Loong paid tribute to him.
"He fought for our independence, built a nation
where there was none, and made us proud to be
Singaporeans. We won't see another man like him."
Mr Lee oversaw Singapore's independence from
Britain and separation from Malaysia. His death was
announced early on Monday. He had been in hospital
for several weeks with pneumonia and was on life
support.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he was
"deeply saddened" by Mr Lee's death. US
President Barack Obama described him as a "giant of
history". The Chinese foreign ministry called him "a
uniquely influential statesman in Asia".
'Lifetime of building'
In Singapore, a steady stream of people arrived at
the hospital and the Istana, the prime minister's
office, to offer their condolences.
A charismatic figure, Mr Lee co-founded the People's
Action Party (PAP), which has governed Singapore
since 1959, and was its first prime minister.
The Cambridge-educated lawyer led Singapore
through merger with, and then separation from,
Malaysia.
Speaking after the split in 1965, he pledged to build a
meritocratic, multi-racial nation. But tiny Singapore -
with no natural resources - needed a new economic
model.
"We knew that if we were just like our neighbours, we
would die," Mr Lee told the New York Times in 2007.
"We had to produce something which is different and
better than what they have." www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-32012346

PoliticsControversy As Allegations Of “shady Deals” Rock by simongonner(op): 6:27pm On Mar 22, 2015
But there have been allegations that the group is
actually a one-man show run by Raymond Dokpesi,
the Chairman of DAAR Communications Limited
(owners of Africa Independent Television, AIT), who
uses it as a bargaining tool for private gains and
political advantage. The Nigeria Election Debate Group, NEDG, has
organised presidential and vice presidential debates
since 1999, but fresh claims have emerged
questioning the independence and partisan nature of
the group.
The debates, the final lap of the series of debates
organised by the NEDG, is holding on March 22,
according to the organisers.
But there have been allegations that the group is
actually a one-man show run by Raymond Dokpesi,
the Chairman of DAAR Communications Limited
(owners of Africa Independent Television, AIT), who
uses it as a bargaining tool for private gains and
political advantage.
When it was incorporated in 2011, the NEDG listed
six organisations as shareholders, each with a
representative.
They include Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria,
BON, represented by Abubakar Aji; DAAR
Communications, represented by Tony Akiotu;
Nigeria Union of Journalists, represented by
Mohammed Garba; Alliance for Credible Election
represented by Emma Ezeazu; Nigeria Guild of
Editors, represented by Gbenga Adefaye; and
Transition Monitoring Group, TMG, represented by
Moshood Erubami.
At a press conference on Friday in Lagos, a pressure
group, Value and Integrity Group, accused Mr.
Dokpesi of having turned the NEDG into a private
estate put at the service of President Goodluck
Jonathan and his Peoples Democratic Party.
“Our investigation reveals as follows: First, a First
Bank account was opened for the NEDG and had Dr.
Dokpesi as the sole signatory, though he is not listed
as one of the Directors,” the group said in a
statement signed by Sina Odugbemi and Popoola
Ajayi, Coordinator and Secretary respectively.
“He also used the DAAR communications office
address, a personal address as the address listed in
the bank account documentation. These two moves
effectively turned the NEDG into Dokpesi’s private
company.”
According to the group, an initial N1 million was paid
into the said NEDG account, and on March 28th,
2011, another N20 million was paid into his (Mr.
Dokpesi’s) personal account.
“The N20m was paid into his personal current
account number 2017171535 because the NEDG
account opening was in process then hence he
received the N20m in his personal current account
instead of NEDG,” the group said.
“A text message from Dokpesi to the banker confirms
this. The text message reads – ‘He sent about N20
million to the account since last week and I utilised
about N50 million for the NEDG DEBATE. As soon as
the sponsors pay, I will pay in.daar'”
The group, brandishing copies of Mr. Dokpesi’s bank
account opening documents and NEDG’s certificate of
registration at the Corporate Affairs Commission
(CAC), also said that Mr. Dokpesi tried to open
another First Bank account in 2012.
“The First Bank account was opened by Dokpesi at
the Maitama branch of the First Bank in Abuja with
account number 2021069251 with Chief Raymond
Dokpesi as sole signatory to the account with the
help of his aide banker.
“The second account which Dokpesi equally
instructed the banker to open in the Bwari branch of
the First bank is pending to be opened because the
banker left. However, before then, Dokpesi in fact
signed the application forms, attached his passport
photos entered his personal details in 2012. The
account was yet to be approved before one of the
manager handling it was eased out of the bank.” Read full story here: www.saharareporters.com/2015/03/22/controversy-allegations-shady-deals-rock-nigeria-election-debate-group

EducationWhat Parents In India Will Do For Good Grades by simongonner(op): 8:10am On Mar 22, 2015
The quest to be educated in India has literally scaled
new heights.
Images of parents and family members clambering
up school buildings and clinging on window ledges to
pass cheat sheets to their children have left
authorities in despair.
The incident took place on Wednesday in the state of
Bihar, where students were writing their year-end
grade 10 examinations.
Examples of cheating incidents are not hard to find in
India. But, even compared to previous events, this
seems to be unprecedented in its blatancy.
Bihar Education Minister PK Shahi told reporters that
children won't learn if they're constantly helped by
family members. "Government can only hold fair
examinations with the help of the parents, society
and the children," he said. "This is a collective
responsibility."
In a developing economy like India, education is a
precious commodity.
With more than 1.2 billion people, proper schooling
could hold the key for much of the population to get
out of a vicious cycle of poverty.
Earlier this week, a father in the city of Mathura was
caught strapping his 8-year old daughter to a
motorcycle after she refused to attend school to take
her assessment.
Tied with a multi-strand rope to the back of a bike,
onlookers captured images of the trussed girl, her
bare feet hanging low, scraping the asphalt. According to local police officials, the girl's parents
offered her several incentives, such as chocolates
and toys to entice her, however when the girl was still
reluctant, her father decided to take matters in his
own hands.
After photos started making the rounds on social
media, police officials took the man into custody and
charged him with "breach of the peace." He is now
out on bail.
"Even after he got out, the father showed no
remorse. He has five children to feed and he believes
the only way they can get out of this poverty trap is
through education," a senior police official handling
the case told CNN.
The flaws in India's education system are well-
documented. The country has a literacy rate of only
74%, compared to 95% in China. Women suffer
particularly badly here; only 64% have formal
education.
Earlier this year, Indian Prime Minister Narendra
Modi launched a nationwide campaign urging
parents to send their children, especially daughters,
to school and properly educate them.
According to the United Nations, India has the largest
youth population in the world, with more than a
quarter of citizens aged between 10 and 24.

PoliticsRe: Why Buhari Wins All The Polls Online(opinion) by simongonner: 1:20pm On Mar 17, 2015
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.

PoliticsRe: Obasanjo Makes Surprise Appearance At Jonathan’s Daughter's Wedding (Photo) by simongonner: 5:32pm On Jan 10, 2015
How much did Jim Nwobodo stole? Money not up to
price of a peugeot and the Buhari regime sent him to
jail. Is that good? ~ president Jonathan in a campaign
rally at Enugu.
Now you see what goes on in this guy's head and what
he meant when he said stealing is not corruption. This
campaign has been one goof after the other and this
president has failed to realize that anyone that steals a
kobo of public fund must be made to face the law, no
matter how little the money is or who the person is. A
corrupt and thieving president will always protect his
likes.
