Just the way he expressed confidence in jonathan's leadership to the point that he removed nigeria's name from the terrorist list at immediate request until they fell out when he started playing away match with the Russians and Chinese, The dull nigerians celebrating these insignificant gestures will be singing a new song soon.

kelvine:
The way Obama suddenly switched off believing the administration of GEJ is a lesson for PMB. All smiles and good gestures can change if you fail to play along.
I wish Nigeria could look inwards, stay united and look outside the US for help.

that's why nigerians are so stupiid....thisis exactly the way it started with jonathan. a lot of people forget that upon his first visit to the u.s, jonathan made the government remove nigeria from the terrorist list and when he stepped out of line, look how things are..they are celebrating obama hosting their president in the white house for a few hours, not even a state dinner or visit, later Africans will cry of inferiority complex. Let's see how this next few years go.

Repositioning our foreign policy from global emerging global players like russia and China back to the west who are partly responsible for all Nigerian woes, at this rate nigeria will never be admitted into the commitee of emerging nation's as we will be seen as a trojan horse for the west. The start of a pathetic foreign policy.

Won't be surprised if confirmed...African leaders are idiots. How many gabonese people would have lived a happier life with that money?

kokoA:
Are you ready to pick up arm and fight for GEJ if he is arrested today? Nigerians can sha run mouth ehn. These people don't give a damm if you live or not yet I see youn men/women beating their chest daily for them. What did GEJ do for his people when he was there? Anybody who risks his/her life for a Nigerian political leader is the greatest fool on earth.

I agree with whatever you wrote up there so far as it applies to every corrupt individual that gas rules this country. You can't cherry pick who us corrupt...

AlPeter:
Must these thieving thieves bring ethnicity to everything what is anti-ijaw in probing a politicians.

start with obasanjo, babamgida, danjuma, etc rubbish!!

Arrest the former president from the mist minority tribe in nigeria while you comrades from the north and west live in hilton mansions in abeokuta and minna? Try it and trigger the implosion of nigeria. I know this news is fake.

Singer-songwriter, harmonica player, and businessman, Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo (D’Banj) who won the maiden MAMA Evolution awards, has dedicated the prestigious prize to his former business partner and producer, Don Jazzy, who is the boss of Mavin Records.

The Evolution category is meant for established artistes who have made a huge impact on the African music scene, taken African music to new heights around the world and pushed the boundaries of creativity.

D’Banj beat fellow Nigerian representatives Asa, Psquare and 2face  to the awards. Fally Ipupa (DRC), Samini (Ghana), HHP (South Africa) Chameleone (Uganda), Black Coffee (South Africa) and Anselmo Ralph (Angola) were also nominated

It will be recalled that the musical marriage  between D’Banj and Don Jazzy ended on a sour note in 2012.

Italian PM wears body-armor to meet Kenya's President

Story highlights

Italian PM Matteo Renzi concealed a bullet-proof vest under his suit as he met Kenya's President Kenyatta on Wednesday
Kenya's State House is heavily guarded and watched over by CCTV cameras
A government official claims the decision was due to a 'tight schedule'
Negative reaction on social media
Prime Minister Matteo Renzi raised eyebrows among Kenya's social media users this week when he appeared to be sporting a bulky flak-jacket in a meeting with President Uhuru Kenyatta in his visit to Kenya's State House on Wednesday.

The images became a parlor game of 'did he or didn't he?' with red circles highlighting the unusually bulky suit jacket.

Kenyans mockingly asked whether Renzi took the adage 'security starts with you' a step too far.

In recent years, Kenya has been hit by a series of horrific terror attacks, mostly blamed on Somali militant group Al-Shabaab.

But the colonial-era presidential palace is arguably one of the safest places in the country.

State House is barricaded by fences, guarded by heavily armed paramilitary officers and surveillance cameras are always keeping a watchful eye.

Speaking from experience, it is not even wise to attempt a u-turn in front of the gate.

At first, Italian Prime Ministers' office would not comment on the matter.

But an Italian government official later confirmed to CNN that Prime Minister Renzi wore a bullet proof vest during his visit to Kenya because of security concerns.

However, the official, who did not wish to be named, said that Renzi wore the protection inside the Presidential Palace because of a 'tight schedule', not because of security.

Apparently, he didn't have time to take it off.

Manoah Esipisu, presidential spokesman told CNN: "We don't have a formal comment on the matter."

In the lead up to President Barack Obama's trip to Kenya later this month, it is sure to raise questions on security protocol.

President Obama, whose father was Kenyan, is hugely popular in the country.

In recent months, Kenyan papers have repeatedly run articles emphasizing that the U.S. president would still be coming despite the security risks.

"It's incredibly unusual for there to be circumstances that would justify a head of state actually wearing body armor, and especially to a dignitary or a VIP meeting," says Will Geddes, a security analyst, on viewing the footage of the meeting "and one has to question what decision-making was made within the security detail that would necessitate presenting this option to the Prime Minister."

CNN's Robyn Kriel and Ingrid Formanek contributed to this report.

Una try, so how much have u taken to ur state govt for
public school donation so far?

you don't need to donate it to your state govt. Go and execute a project directly in the school that produced you so the task of producing others will be easier. An alumini of my university produced the borehole we used in our hostel as during his time they had to walk miles to get wager. I wonder if that money would have been better spent in the coffers of a church.

What if half of all the money donated in the millions of churches along the length and breath of nigeria this Sunday is channelled into our public school system, what will be the outcome? There is no church in nigeria were worshippers sit on the floor to listen to semon but there are thousands of schools in our nation where kids sit on the floor to learn, a therefore ask schools and churches, which is more crucial to the development of our nation. You fellow nairalanders that donate millions to your churches and "daddies in the lord" have you donated a single wooden desk of chemical bicker to the public schools that produced you? Think about it......

Such a stuupid country! When did the prestigious military whose responsibility us to defend the territorial integrity of the nation start settling domestic disputes?

Very funny! Shows you the utter desperation of these APC stooges...if they think they can win Barr. Emma ukala and nyesom wike in court, they are as deluded as they are stupid.

What rubbish! Is this close to Chicago's o'hare that has 12 runways? All this anti American bullshit..

This is the same thing APC accused the jonathan government of using the police for, now look at this, shows they were not shouting because of misuse of power but because that power was not theirs to misuse.

Ameachi did roads with underground drainage system.... .. . Now wike is taken us back to the days of odili
Just doing a street and it is in the news.. .. .. . I live few Street from there and I can tell u dat in diobu alone ameachi did more than 20 Streets

shut your trap! The Eagle island road ameachi abandoned for months now have been completed belt wike under weeks....political rubbish won't allow you folks to be objective.

Nigerians! Keep killing yourselves over gay marriage! Meanwhile since the day it was legalised in the u.s to this day over half a million people have died from terrorism in your country! Don't put things in perspective. Keep languishing in bigotry no one cares about.

ibotjaycob:
You must think you're getting
something out of responding
to me? Since you're not looking
for me to educate you but for
me to hate on your response, I
deem you out of touch. 2015 still acting like a warrior for blackberry? really??

just act like a matured human bring and admit you messed up by saying BB10 phones hang. It won't cost you anything rather than disgracing yourselves here.

Boko haram is back and stronger than ever!! Meanwhile we have no defense minister or a well articulated plan to halt their offensive talk less of stopping them! How far the service chiefs? Have they moved to maiduguri?

Adonis86:
. You re wrong sir. She swore to uphold to the tenets of the existing law as of the time of her appointment.

laws evolve! So in your view,a judge who swore to uphold the law at a time when it was not illegal to smoke pot will refuse to jail someone caught smoking pot when the legislature criminalise pot smoking?

Okay, let's see which federal government northern elders will blame fir not adequately protecting them, the one run by their brother?

We have an Alhaji dantata as DSS director?

The same igbo crying about marginalisation can't even project unity. What a joke!

Our mega city!! This is the sceptic tank igbo's and yoruba's are dragging!!

This virtually sums it up!

Wike is Working or Witch Hunting?

That boy should take it easy

wike just completed the Eagle island road in bearly two weeks, something which has been stalling since the ameachi era.

Did'nt they tell him that a pot belly is a must have for a Nigerian politician?

Good! Resign and go look for job elsewhere since you can't differentiate your personal beliefs from your duties as an officer of the state who swore to uphold your duties without fear of favour. Other bigots should follow suit. With an unemployment rate of 5.3, there are a lot of people waiting to take ur jobs.

When your party and not the people list your so called "achievements"...you know you are an incompetent joke.

This is scary o! I have exams next week o! And I don't stay on campus...

Another feather in the cap of one of the most consequential presidents in mordern history, barack obama, over turning a mistake of hubris of about 50 years and further weakening Russian influence in South America. Next up, Venezuela and other south American countries..
