₦airaland Forum

When PMB appointed NNPC Boss the complain was he is not Igbo enough, When he appointed IRS Boss the complain was his certificate is fake, now he appointed 3 muslims, 3 christians giving minorities some voice the complain is North vs South. People forget that Buhari is still maintaining IG of Police, CBN governor among other heads of parastatals that are southerners. May be we are destined to be doomed. May be this is who we are as a people and thats why Nigeria is retrogressing. We are such backward thinkers and degenerative minds full of hate. Its unfortunate though to say the least.

Members of the South East
Progressive Forum have on
Thursday maintained that
appointments into political
positions are President
Muhammadu Buhari’s prerogatives and at each point
in time, he has the right to
appoint people he thinks he can work with. Leader of the group and a
former member of the
National Assembly,
Honourable Bethel Amadi,
who led the group to meet
with President Buhari, told State House correspondents that what is important to them, is the development of
infrastructure in the south east which are dilapidated, adding that the educational
system has gone down, while kidnapping, gully erosion and insecurity have
ravaged the zone. The lawmaker said he led the South East Progressive Forum to the President to
find solutions to the various problems. The group, however, said they are ready to partner with the Federal Government to
bring solutions to the problems. President Buhari was said to have asked them to mobilise the people especially the
youths of the various community to see that everyone works together to improve
the living conditions of the Nigerian people.

This is a copy of beautiful letter sent by PMB to Obama.

President Muhammadu Buhari has been approached by a faction, as it named itself, of the deadly Boko Haram sect, seeking peace negotiations with Nigeria’s government.

Garba Shehu, the presidential spokesman, made this known in a statement, saying that efforts were under way to “verify their claims” of having such power.

“A faction of the Boko Haram group came forward claiming to have the mandate to negotiate with the government,” he said.

Buhari’s government recently said it was not opposed to negotiations with the sect, which has killed thousands and left around 1.5 million people evacuated during its insurgency.

Shehu added: “It is now left for them to show proof that they have the mandate, but they made it clear that they are representing a faction of Boko Haram that wants peace.”

It should be noted that despite his earlier stance during the electoral campaign President Buhari has recently said he is willing to hold talks with Boko Haram commanders for the rescue of more than 200 Chibok schoolgirls abducted last year.

The insurgents have killed more than 600 Nigerians in a spate of bombings and shootings since new president was sworn-in on May 29.

President Buhari will visit Cameroon on July 29-30 as part of efforts to cooperate with countries with which Nigeria shares borders.

It would be recalled that efforts to reach a peace agreement by the previous government of Goodluck Jonathan failed as Boko Haram denied holding any talks with government.

President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed why his only son Yusuf didn’t join Nigerian Armed Forces as his father retired Army General.


Garba Shehu, presidential media aide, has written an article in which he spoke about the meeting between President Buhari and his former classmates in the US.

Shehu wrote: “Shortly after the August 1983 military coup that brought a 40-year-old Muhammadu Buhari to power, he received a phone call from a top personnel in the United States Army.

“General Smith was the Commandant of the U.S. War College from which General Buhari graduated in 1980. The school’s 1979 set had graduated its first Nigerian, General Wushishi, who was the Chief of Defence in the just ousted Shehu government. “Please, be kind to him,” General Smith said over the phone.

“The essence of the phone call was not just to congratulate Nigeria’s new Head of State, but to ensure that the first Nigerian to graduate from the U.S. War College would not suffer any indignity under the government of the second Nigerian to graduate from the same school.”

Some Buhari’s former classmates were questioning to know if Nigerian president would place his only son, Yusuf, in the army.

“I stopped him from joining the army,” Buhari answered.

He clarified that the army he joined was very different from what it is today, continuing that he was the second Nigerian to be sent to the U.S. War College–based on his records alone, without influences.

“Things took a wrong turn in Nigeria,” Buhari said. “Your records no longer mattered.”

The members of the U.S. War College Class of 1980 gathered at the Blair House in Washington, DC on July 22, to welcome the man they had chosen as their football team referee 36 years ago.

“Being referee all those years ago taught me to be fair and just,” President Buhari said during the meeting.

Among the attendants of the meeting were: Lt. General Granrud (Commander of the U.S. Forces in Japan Rtd), Brigadier General Jack Pellica, General Ronald Griffith (Former Vice Chairman of the U.S. Army Central Command ), Colonel Lany Gordon and Colonel Paul Summerville.

General Smith has since passed on, as have all the directing staff and a larger percentage of the old students from the set.

“This just shows that all of us are on the queue,” Nigerian leader said, “waiting for our turn.”

Retired Army General said he hoped that the U.S. would continue its tradition of training Nigerians in the war college.

At the time Buhari attended the college, he was the only African in his class.

The only other foreigners were from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel, Indonesia, Thailand, France and Japan.

The president then went on to update his classmates on his life since he last saw them: his different appointments, his accomplishments and his family.

“I have just received my 13th grandchild,” he said.

Buhari added that the wife they knew him with at the time had since died, and that he had also lost a son and a daughter (Musa and Zulaiha) from his late wife.

“Of all my eight children,” he said, “only one is a boy.”

Some of the former classmates present at the meeting noted that at the time they met President Buhari back in 1980, they knew little about Nigeria or Africa.

Meanwhile, Buhari defined his war college experience as being responsible for his subsequent life of hard work, endurance and perseverance.

He said: “I contested for president three times and failed,” he said. “Then I did it the fourth time and won.”



President Buhari then rendered his narrative of the collapse of the Soviet Union, breaking into 18 republics and how that influenced his decision to join politics.

“The collapse of the Soviet empire in 1980 without a single shot being fired convinced me that the multi-party democratic system was the best for all countries.” President Buhari then expressed appreciation to President Barack Obama and to the U.S. for the role the country played in Nigeria’s successful elections, recalling Secretary of State, John Kerry’s visit to him and to former president Goodluck Jonathan, as well as to Attahiru Jega, the electoral commissioner at the time.

“Kerry read the riot act to all of us,” he said, “saying that the conduct of the election must be free, fair and in line with the Constitution.” He added that, without US intervention, the electoral malpractices of the past twelve years would likely have happened again.

“God made me but America made me,” he said.

The class of 1980 gave President Buhari the full assurances of their support, noting that they were willing to use their experience to assist him in any way they can, particularly with tackling terrorism in northeast Nigeria.

In September, Nigerian president will be meeting once again with his former classmates, at another event scheduled to take place at the United Nations.

The sudden disappearance of the sum of N200 Billion from the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, TETFUND, is currently giving officials headache and might be a subject of an intense investigation, Pointblanknews.com gathered.

TETFund are managers of multi billion Naira fund for the development of tertiary institutions across Nigeria.

Very credible inside sources told Pointblanknews.com that top members of the former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration may have to explain to security agencies how they pressured the Executive Secretary of TETFUND into releasing the sum of N200 Billion.

Sources told Pointblanknews.com that few months to the elections, some unnamed members of the previous administration wrote several letters to the leadership of TETFUND soliciting for financial support towards the elections.

The letters according to a source, emanated from some senior Government officials whose position, the leadership of TETFUND could not ignore.

A member of the TETFUND board recently dissolved by president Mohammadu Buhari told Pointblanknews.com that while they deliberated on some of the financial requests made, the board was still at a loss how N200 Billion disappeared from TETFUND accounts.

The former board member who does not want his name in print disclosed that what is known to his colleagues is that the Executive Secretary of TETFUND, Professor Sulaiman Bogoro spends millions sponsoring political activities of his godfathers to keep his job.

“We are still shocked at the disappearance of the N200 Billion from TETFUND account. But one thing that we know is that the ES sponsors so many political activities that runs into millions and I wont be shocked if the N200 Billion is part of it,” the former board member told Pointblanknews.com

Sources hinted that TETFUND is like the proverbial cash cow where Politicians from the peoples Democratic Party, PDP, often go to for cash. Musa Babayo, a chieftain of PDP who until the dissolution of the board was Chairman has had several months of friction with the Executive secretary over financial matters.

Sources said both men fought severally over who controls funds. Another insider told Pointblanknews.com that the Executive Secretary is currently in quandary over how to defend the disappearance of the N200 Billion when called upon by Security Agencies to do so.

Only recently, a petition by an anti graft NGO, Transparency Crusaders, called on the President Buhari prevail upon the EFCC chairman, Ibrahim Lamorde and the ICPC boss, Mr Ekpo Nta , to investigate officials of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund.

The petition, alleged amongst other things that, since his appointment as the Executive Secretary, Professor Bogoro has been working in defiance of directives from the chairman of the board of the fund, Alhaji Babayo by creating a cartel that sleazes the fund in active connivance with some bank officials.

According to them, all the funds classified as un-accessed, and even those claimed to have been remitted to the beneficiaries were often left with banks to yield interest, which were often raked off by TETFund officials, before the returns are made to the Executive Secretary, through his confidants.

Describing as bogey, the recent disbursement of N135 billion to government owned Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education, the anti graft agencies were invited to look into the operations of the accounts of TETFund domiciled at ECOBANK and two other third generation banks to verify the transactions on the funds since it was disbursed to TETFund about three months earlier, and why it was kept for long in the banks until the time of election.

They alleged that, TETFUND Executive Secretary was fond of sponsoring the political activities of some politicians, especially in his home state, and also paying heavy ransoms to his political godfathers, by dolling out millions from the coffers of the establishment, even as he allegedly used the funds to oppose President Buhar emergence, by openly supporting Jonathan’s PDP.

Other allegations levelled against the management of the Fund is that, most contractors handling major TETFUND contracts across the country were either stooges of the Executive Secretary or his godfathers, who were awarded the contracts through Bogoro’s instrumentality, and who make returns appropriately.

Professor, the petitioners alleged that Bogoro has been fanning the embers of religious politics in the North-East sub region, and may have equipped some youths to execute his religious agenda, using politics as an alibi.

This might be the biggest experience one will ever have.

Which one do you prefer?

You are doing whatever you can to downgrade Islam since the day of your birth up till today but Islam is growing geometrically. Why because It is being protected by its creator.

Its only in the world of injustice one can judge the whole religion by the action of less than 0.5% of people who claimed to be its followers. What about the other 99.5% who are good and pure? Does that make them bad two? Beside, these 99.5% are against the other percentage but you guys take them all as one.

I believe you people have Muslims friends who are in one way or the other your colleges or neighbours. Can you say they are terrorist. Have you ever convict them for any crime against humanity?

If we are to judge religion by few then Christianity the the bigger terrorist in the world because Adolf Hitler was for all his life a Christian and rises by Christian community.

If you don't have anything good to say you better stay quite.
