Oh, so you guys knew Jonathan had good initiatives for the country but chose to turn a blind to it during the campaigns. I can see guys mentioning agricultural reforms, railway reforms, YouWin, Automotive Plan, Electric Power Reforms, Free & Fair Elections, etc. All of these wonderful projects were done by Jonathan but you guys chose to use propaganda to destroy them. Now you want to reap where you did not sow? You guys are just funny. You're all set to enter into a big abysmal hole that you can't comprehend . Those projects are Jonathan's, don't dabble into sth you didn't start and hence don't understand.

So u don't want him to do anything before? #shoroNiyen?

abeg no vex oooo!!!Amen ooo

Officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission who participated in last Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly election and those who will take part in the governorship and state Houses of Assembly election on April 11 have been insured for N1.99m each.
Ahead of the general elections, INEC had put in place a life insurance cover for its employees and members of the National Youth Service Corps, who usually serve as ad-hoc members of staff of the electoral body.
Three ad-hoc employees of INEC reportedly died in Benue State during the presidential election. The first victim was reported to have died in an accident on her way to her duty post, while the other two also died in a road accident on Sunday.
Their relatives are poised to receive N1.99m as insurance compensation for each of the lost souls as a result of the group life insurance cover.
Some of the underwriters told our correspondent that the insurance cover for the INEC employees and the ad-hoc workers was shared among different insurance companies and that most of them got the premium on Friday, a day before the commencement of the polls.
The cover is to provide compensation to relatives of those who may lose their lives as a result of electoral violence and other risks.
The National Commissioner in-charge of South West, INEC, Prof. Lai Olurode, exclusively disclosed to our correspondent that the electoral body had put in place a life insurance cover worth N1.99m for those who would superintend the general elections.
“INEC employees have insurance and we have cover in place for the ad-hoc staff, especially the youth corps members who are serving as presiding and assisting officers during the 2015 elections,” he said.
The commissioner said the officials were entitled to an insurance cover worth N1.99m for a public servant on level eight, step one in the case of death, adding that any of them that suffered injuries would be entitled to insurance compensation worth N108,000.
Olurode said INEC engaged many reputable insurance companies to provide cover for its officials and ad-hoc employees.
He also said that this was not the first time the commission was purchasing insurance cover for those involved in election duties as it had done the same in previous polls.
While he noted that no compensation could be adequate for a lost life, the INEC commissioner said it was still better than not having any cover for them.
He said that INEC had put in place a package to make the elections attractive to the youth who would like to participate in the process.
The Director of Press and Public Relations, NYSC, Mrs. Bose Aderibigbe, said the organisation had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with INEC.
“We are in partnership with INEC and there is an insurance cover for the corps members in the MoU we signed with INEC,” she said.
It was also discovered that ahead of the elections, some underwriting companies had developed political insurance policies to cover losses that might arise from violence, accidents and losses that might occur during the polls.
The introduction of political insurance cover, according to them, is necessitated by experiences from other African countries that are coping with the problem of terrorism, in which the insurance sector has had to introduce special covers to lessen the impact.

President Goodluck Jonathan paid a secret visit to former Vice
President Abubakar Atiku on Friday night to hold a meeting that lasted
till the early hours of Saturday.

Sources at the Presidency told SaharaReporters that Mr. Jonathan
went to Mr. Atiku’s home with the aim of persuading the former VP to
lead a so called interim government of national unity that the
president has been covertly attempting to sell to numerous political
figures in recent weeks. One source said Mr. Jonathan and some
hawkish members of his inner circle, including Petroleum Minister
Diezani Alison-Madueke, First Lady Patience Jonathan, Governors
Olusegun Mimiko and Ayo Fayose of Ondo and Ekiti respectively, as
well as senior presidential aide Doyin Okupe, have decided that
handing over power to Muhammadu Buhari “is out of the question.”
Several electoral monitoring groups are projecting that Mr. Buhari, a
retired army general and the presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), is the odds-on favorite to win the March
28 presidential election.

When SaharaReporters reached Mr. Atiku, he expressed surprise that
we knew about his meeting with President Jonathan. He asserted that
the idea of his heading an interim government did not come up during
the long discussion with the president.
Mr. Atiku said he had retired to bed when he was woken up and told
that President Jonathan had come to see him, adding that the
president was already waiting in his living room.
After denying that he was asked to head an interim government, the
former vice president admitted that Mr. Jonathan tried to prevail on
him to rejoin the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He disclosed that
he rejected the invitation outright.

According to Mr. Atiku, the president also discussed the ongoing war
against Boko Haram insurgents, asking for support for Nigerian troops
fighting in the area. He said they also discussed the possibility of
displaced Nigerians returning to the areas that have been recaptured
from Boko Haram.

Asked by our reporter whether he thought President Jonathan was
interested in allowing elections to hold on March 28, the former vice
president hesitated before stating that he would not wish to
speculate, but he said the president’s body language did not reveal
that he was interested in the polls that are scheduled to hold in two
weeks.

The secret meeting between Mr. Jonathan and former VP Atiku has
caused unease among some APC stalwarts. A few hours after the
meeting, a faction of Mr. Atiku’s original political organization, the
Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM), announced their endorsement
of President Jonathan.

In his telephone interview with SaharaReporters, Mr. Atiku disclosed
that he was opposed to the formation of an interim government. He
stated that when former military dictator, Ibrahim Babangida, set up an
interim national government in 1993, the dictator offered him a
position in the government through the late General Shehu Yar’Adua
(ret.). He said he rejected the position, adding that it was eventually
given to a Lagos politician Dapo Sarumi.

Asked further about the substance of his conversation with Mr.
Jonathan, the former vice president said advised the president to
ensure that the elections were free and fair and devoid of the
bloodshed that trailed the 2011 general elections

A well-connected source at the Presidency in Abuja
has told SaharaReporters about the behind-the-
scenes maneuvers that forced President Goodluck
Jonathan to include the name of Musiliu Obanikoro
on a list of ministerial nominees that was hurriedly sent
to the Senate for approval. Those on the list include Musiliu
Obanikoro (Lagos), Patricia Akwashiki (Nasarawa) and
Kenneth Kobani (Rivers).

Mr. Jonathan’s decision to send the list to
the Senate today struck many political observers as
curious, specifically because the Senate is still on recess
and would not resume until February 17, three days
after the presidential election.
Our source at the Presidency disclosed that the timing of
the president’s submission of the list was dictated by
demands made by Mr. Obanikoro, a former Minister of State
for Defense. Mr. Obanikoro had resigned from his
ministerial post in order to seek the nomination of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the party’s
governorship candidate for Lagos State. In the party’s
primary, Mr. Obanikoro lost the governorship ticket to Mr.
Jimi Agbaje.
“Chief Musiliu Obanikoro insisted that Mr. President
[Goodluck Jonathan] must compensate him again with
a ministerial position as a condition for him [Obanikoro] to
support the party at the February polls,” said our source.
Our source disclosed that the former minister and failed
governorship candidate set the condition during a meeting
he held a few days ago in Lagos with Vice President
Namadi Sambo.
Our source, who said he was privy to the discussion, added
that President Jonathan caved in to the former minister’s
demands because “Koro [as Mr. Obanikoro is popularly
called] made it clear that, if he is not given a ‘soft
landing’ as a minister, he would not campaign for Agbaje or
for the PDP as a whole.” The source added that Mr.
Obanikoro had convinced the president and vice president
that, despite his loss in the gubernatorial primary, he is a
widely popular politician in Lagos State, with the capacity
to help Mr. Jonathan and the PDP upset the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in the February elections.
“He kept reminding the vice president about their
agreement, and the VP convinced Mr. President to send the
list of ministers immediately in order to carry Koro along,”
said the source. He added: “Koro does not want to lose out
totally. So he told the vice president that the agreement
must be kept to.”
Mr. Jonathan reportedly felt that he had no option than to
hurriedly compile the names of a few nominees and forward
the list to the Senate.
Even though there are several other states without
adequate representation on the cabinet, Mr. Jonathan felt
he needed to act fast to send a list that included Mr.
Obanikoro’s name in order to avoid
another political grudge in the Lagos State chapter of the
PDP, a state the president’s strategists are determined
to capture.

I smell this post on FP.....

The President of the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, Amaju Pinnick, has said that Super Eagles Coach Stephen Keshi’s will be offered a new contract that will contain clauses for enhanced performance.

Mr. Pinnick said this on the sidelines of the Glo/CAF Awards 2014 whichheld at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos, on Thursday night.

The NFF president also said that peace had returned to its Glass House after various factions working at cross purposes sheathed their swords.

” I didn’t say I was not going to offer him a new contract, we are going towork with.
“We are going to take a lot of things into consideration.
“It’s like when you are building a house and you feel that the house needs to be enhanced so you put other structures for enhancement and that’s what we are going to do.

“Keshi is going to be offered a new contract.But in the contract we are going to have certain clauses working with the Technical Study Group, working with the Technical Committee, working with the Technical Department.
“And making sure in terms of player selection, there is science of playerswhich means fitness and so many other things.“So, all those are the things that are going to be embedded in the contract.
“When they are embedded in the contract we are also looking at areas that will improve our performance.
“That when there is any window we will be able to send him on internship, attachment to various clubs in Europe.
“All those are things we are doing to enhance his capacity.
“You will agree with me that Keshi has won everything; he just needs to be enhanced in terms of building his capacity and that is exactly what we intend to do.”

It looks like photo shop to me oooo #TeamTubaba

Haha! Dont want people to know my real age

News broke during the past week that Courtney Dike had refused to collect the $7000 bonus that accrued to her from being a member of the Nigeria Women U20 side that reached the final of the tournament in Canada.

Dike scored two goals for Nigeria, including the tournament’s fastest ever goal, as the Super Falcons finished in second place behind Germany at the 2014 Fifa U20 Women’s World Cup.

A presidential bonus offered to her was rejected according to a Nigeria Football Federation official.

"When we called her mother to confirm the delivery of the allowances, she declined it and insisted that the opportunity of playing for Nigeria was all the reward the family needed,” said Mohammed Sanusi, the NFF’s head of competitions.

The 19-year-old student of Oklahoma State University only did the right thing in the circumstances due to her status as an amateur athlete on a scholarship, according to rules governing the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) in the United States.

Among the rules for amateur athletes under the NCAA, Dike could not have accepted the $7000 given to her by Nigeria because amateurs are not supposed to be paid “salary for participating in athletics” neither are they allowed to be paid “prize money above actual and necessary expenses” among many other rules on the NCAA website.

Hence, Dike’s decision, which has split opinion in the Nigerian community, was not, to spite the NFF and neither was it about her being more patriotic than other Nigerian players that accepted their bonuses.

According to sports management expert Patrick Omo-Osagie, if Dike had accepted the $7000 bonus, she would have had bigger issues like losing her almost $35,000 annual scholarship which enables her to attend the Oklahoma State University and play for the Cowgirls.

“The $7000 is considered as payment for her sport; the only way she could have taken that money and not be in violation of NCAA regulations, is to have taken the money as a daily allowance during the competition,” wrote Omo-Osagie on his Facebook page.

“NCAA rules are very funny and unfair, but the payment was so public that if she took it or her family took it, it will be a violation of NCAA rules and she will be sanctioned or might even loose her athletic scholarship.

“She did the right thing for rejecting the money and we should praise her for that, for she did not try to break the rules she signed on. If the money was refused for any other reason besides NCAA rules, then I need to know.”

The only other way for Dike to accept the bonus would have been if she were to turn professional.

Professional athletes are not blocked from accepting bonuses and payments but there are few roles for professionalism in female football in America which could have denied Dike much more in scholarship fees on the long run.

Some commentators have already tried to juxtapose Dike’s decision with the Super Eagles’ bonus row at the World Cup, but it is evident that these two are different circumstances.

Dike did the right thing according to the rules of the NCAA and nothing more. If she were a pro-athlete, she would have taken the bonus because she rightly earned it.

If she continues to play as well as she is doing, there will be many more bonuses to benefit from after her collegiate days are over.
