I thought this thread was created way before that one?

President Muhammadu Buhari’s ‘Change Begins with Me’ campaign suffered a setback Friday following a newspaper report that the president allegedly plagiarised President Barack Obama in the speech he delivered while launching the project.
The government says the campaign will help curb “widespread act of immorality” by Nigerians.
The report, which detailed how Mr. Buhari allegedly lifted quotes from a 2008 speech by Mr. Obama, came on the heels of another damaging allegation that the ‘Change Begins With Me’ campaign contained elements belonging to another anti-corruption effort, ‘Not in My Country’.
Mr. Buhari on August 8 launched the ‘reorientation’ campaign in Abuja as part of his government’s strategy to make Nigerians eschew “dishonesty, indolence, unbridled corruption and widespread impunity” and embrace daily introspection over their “immoral” conducts.
He also used the occasion to sue for national consensus amongst Nigerians on issues ranging from spirit of service to patriotism.
“We must resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship, pettiness and immaturity that have poisoned our country for so long. Let us summon a new spirit of responsibility, spirit of service, of patriotism and sacrifice, Let us all resolve to pitch in and work hard and look after, not only ourselves but one another.
“What the current problem has taught us is that we cannot have a thriving army of rent seekers and vested interests, while the majority suffers,” Mr. Buhari said.
But facts have emerged indicating Mr. Buhari did not author those quotes.


Adeola Akinremi, a columnist with Lagos-based THISDAY Newspaper, was the first to spot possible instances of plagiarism between Mr. Buhari’s speech and a speech delivered by Mr. Obama when he was first elected in 2008.
In a speech delivered after his victory on November 4, 2008, Mr. Obama said to a crowd of enthusiastic supporters:
“Let’s resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.
“So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other. “Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it’s that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.”
After highlighting the seeming plagiarism, Mr. Akinremi said the act was “unethical” and lampooned Mr. Buhari for allegedly indulging in it.
“It is immoral to plagiarize other people’s work, but even worse to use dishonesty to launch a campaign about honesty.
“When you use another person’s work without acknowledgement, you have plagiarized. You simply pretend as if it is your own. It is unethical. It makes a mess of the campaign from the start. That is what Buhari has done, nobody will believe in the ‘change begins with me’ campaign, because it was built on lies,” Mr. Akinremi said.
When contacted Friday morning, presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, said he was just becoming aware of the allegation and that the presidency would investigate.
Mr. Akinremi’s column was published a week after associates of Akin Fadeyi, creator of ‘Not In My Country’ accused the Buhari administration of stealing his concept to launch ‘Change Begins with Me.’
The associates said Mr. Fadeyi, a creative artist and former head of communications at Airtel Nigeria, met with the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, in December 2015 to intimate him of ‘Not In My Country,’ an episodic narrative that deploys humour to underscore societal ills and appeal to Nigerians to shun sharp practices.
They said Mr. Mohammed declined interest in the concept, only to turn around to adapt it for ‘Change Begins with Me’ campaign.
But Mr. Mohammed denied the allegations, saying he started ‘Change Begins with Me’ before he was appointed minister.
“We started working on ‘Change Begins with Me’ before the honourable minister was nominated and we’ve been working with the agency that produced the campaign,” Mr. Mohammed’s associate said.
The ‘Change Begins with Me’ campaign had earned Mr. Buhari widespread criticism, with many Nigerians accusing him of shifting blames to them and wondering why they gave him their mandate if he would ultimately saddle them with the duty of effecting the change he promised.


But the government said the campaign became necessary to rally all Nigerians in the effort to cleanse the country of corruption and other malaise plaguing it.

Just left Abuja this evening. Do you follow Nigeria Professional Football League? Are you passionate about football? Do you follow and know much about the Super Eagles? Are you willing to make sacrifice? Are you willing to have patience? Are you will to travel for league matches? If you have answers to the aforementioned questions then PM I will guide you for free. Sports journalism is a nice profession. This is what I love doing.

Far right is me (on native) and my colleagues during league match between Niger Tornadoes Vs FC IfeanyiUbah at Confluence Stadium Lokoja

Thank you very much, I just sent a pm. Look forward to hearing from you.

Emmysteve:

just like your moniker, you are poor in the brain and your capacity of reason is empty. I guess my friends and those @Enshi talked about that opted for constable cadre despite holding BSc had pass and third class? What a poor brain indeed. FYI I came out with 2.2. More so, I have a career in sports journalism apart from being a police hopeful.

Many of us took the decision to apply for constable because of the chances and not because of your myopic mindset.

Please, do you have an idea how one can start a career in sports journalism? I'm interested and based in Abuja.

Haha, I quite enjoy his threads. They're almost like he's daydreaming out loud, which I think a lot of us do when we are alone.

Let him be biko.

Chelsea? No wonder

Make we see sha, it's still too early.

Richiy:


They value space a lot. So, when things get tensed up, just give them their space. When they calm down, they will reach out to you.

In the mean time, find something fun to do

You truly understand introverts. What do you do for fun as an 'extrovert'?

Jarizod:
True

una no go go trophyless this season oo

I no wan make mouth because the season go hard. We fit surprise una sha. Make we dey see.

Which team you dey support?

Richiy:


Patience is key. But it is not easy to develop. And introverts can frustrate ehhhhhhhhhhh.

Haha, I share your sentiment on introverts and frustration. how do you cope with that?

Richiy:


I have a rich history of dating introverts. I think I know the definition of patience when dealing with introverts

Cool, means you'll go far in life/relationships. I'm learning the patience part though, want to be like you when I grow up

Jarizod:
Arsenal lohun lohun

You obviously have no love for us, but no problem. One can't be loved by everyone.

Jarizod:

Hahahahahahahahaha, seriously. Any other match, I may choose sex. When Arsenal is playing, I can't do any other thing. Honestly

Nairaland should have a dry jokes section.

They say you never know what you have till its gone.

If you continue this search for 'spice', you put your relationship in danger of being too spicy. What's wrong with having a peaceful relationship?

Richiy:


See us

But I think introverts are really cool people. I enjoy their company a lot.

Aha!!! Nice. What do you enjoy about an introvert's company? Although I think once you get close to an introvert and they open up, they're fun.

Do you have the patience?

If everybody is claiming introvert, who are the extroverts?

Football, preferably Arsenal.
