Foreign AffairsOutrage After South African Minister Denied Entry To Israel by Toniosparlet(op): 4:33pm On Apr 24, 2015
Outrage after S African minister
denied entry to Israel
South Africa demands explanation from Tel
Aviv after minister is denied visa to visit Israel
for diplomatic work.

Johannesburg, South Africa - The government of South Africa has expressed outrage after Israel's decision to deny a visa to Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande.

Clayson Monyela, Deputy Director General of Department of International Relations and Cooperation, told Al Jazeera on Thursday the Israeli government needed to offer a reason for the snubbing.

"We are taking it up through the proper channels.
"We need to receive a proper explanation for the denial of a visa to a sitting cabinet minister," Monyela said.
The minister was scheduled to travel to the occupied Palestinian territories from April 25-29. He was scheduled to secure further collaboration with the University of Johannesburg and institutions in Palestine.

Nzimande's spokesperson told local media that the denial of the visa had caused a "serious diplomatic problem".
Naeem Jeenah, Director of Afro-Middle East Centre, based in Johannesburg, described the snubbing as "surprising" considering the two countries' growing trade relations.

Jeenah said the Palestinian solidarity movement in South Africa "would be thrilled" with Israel's decision "because South Africa now has to respond to this matter".
Arthur Lenk, the Israeli ambassador in Pretoria, told Al Jazeera that South African officials routinely visit the West Bank through Israel.
Lenk would not be drawn into discussing why specifically Nzimande's visa application was denied, though he described the minister as being "very vocal on a range of issues connected to Israel, South Africa and my region".
The ambassador said the decision to deny the visa was made in Israel.

"The decision came from Jerusalem," Lenk said.
Vocal critic of Israel
But Jeenah said that anything the Israelis say on the matter "could really only make the situation worse".
The Palestinian embassy in South Africa described the decision as "racist".
"We take note by this aggressive action that Israel is trying to implement the same rule as in the previous apartheid regime of South Africa," the embassy said in a statement.
The Palestinian lobby group Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS-South Africa) released a statement saying it's "more confident than ever that its time to expel the Israeli Ambassador from South Africa".
"Israel cannot want to tell us who our friends should be, where we should travel and who we can speak with." BDS said.
Nzimande has been a vocal critic of Israel. His spokesperson said on Thursday the minister would call on all higher education institutions to cut ties with their counterparts in Israel.
"We must just boycott Israel," Nkwanyana reportedly said.
South Africa currently has full diplomatic relations with Israel and recognises Israel within the borders demarcated by the United Nations (UN) in 1948.
In 2012, Deputy Minister of International Relations and Co-operation, Ebrahim Ebrahim discouraged South Africans from visiting Israel.
"We do not prevent them. We say we discourage them."

Suspects In Paris Magazine
Attack Killed

17:19, UK, Friday 09 January 2015

The brothers suspected of massacring staff at
the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris have been
killed and their hostage freed.
Gunshots and explosions have been heard at
the Dammartin-en-Goele factory where
brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi had been
holed up with a 26-year-old male hostage for
hours.
According to media reports in France the
brothers - who came out firing - have been
killed and their hostage was freed safely.
A helicopter which had been hovering nearby
landed on top of the building during the raid.
Sky's Ian Woods, who is on the scene, said:
"There were several bursts of gunfire that
lasted about 10 seconds. Since then we've
heard four or five explosions."
Gunfire And Explosions At Siege
After this there was around a minute of silence,
followed by further explosions.
Woods added: "Clearly this is the end game of
this operation."
Several ambulances have been seen travelling
at speed in the area of the factory complex
following the explosions, close to the outskirts
of Paris and near to Charles De Gaulle airport.
It came as six explosions were heard at the
Paris supermarket where at least six
hostages have been held by gunmen.
Reports say some of the hostages have been
freed, and the hostage-taker killed.
Minutes before the Dammartin-en-Goele
operation, dozens of workers who had been
trapped on the industrial estate by the stand-
off were seen leaving the area in their cars
accompanied by a police escort.
This was followed by a number of cars heading
in the other directions towards the factory,
filled with individuals wearing balaclavas.
The Kouachi brothers had been surrounded at
the print works by special forces officers for
several hours.
They took refuge in the building with a hostage
after being forced off the road into Paris by a
police roadblock.
Earlier in the day they broke cover from an
area northeast of the capital and stole a car,
before heading towards Paris.
A police chase took place and they were forced
off the road close to the city's outskirts.

JANUARY 8, 2015

The Akwa Ibom State Governor, Mr. Godswill
Akpabio, has said the alleged missing money
from the treasury has been shared by all the
governors.
Akpabio, who is the Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party Governorship Forum, said this
at the PDP presidential campaign rally holding in
Lagos.
The governor said the alleged missing money
was a propaganda tool created by the All
Progressives Congress.
He said the money which was about 55bn was
shared because of the needs of the people in
their states.
He however did not say whether it was Naira or
Dollars.

LiteratureThe Story Of An Hour by Toniosparlet(op): 7:51pm On Dec 06, 2014
Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a
heart trouble, great care was taken to break to
her as gently as possible the news of her
husband's death.
It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken
sentences; veiled hints that revealed in half
concealing. Her husband's friend Richards was
there, too, near her. It was he who had been in
the newspaper office when intelligence of the
railroad disaster was received, with Brently
Mallard's name leading the list of "killed." He had
only taken the time to assure himself of its truth
by a second telegram, and had hastened to
forestall any less careful, less tender friend in
bearing the sad message.
She did not hear the story as many women have
heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to
accept its significance. She wept at once, with
sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister's arms.
When the storm of grief had spent itself she went
away to her room alone. She would have no one
follow her.
There stood, facing the open window, a
comfortable, roomy armchair. Into this she sank,
pressed down by a physical exhaustion that
haunted her body and seemed to reach into her
soul.
She could see in the open square before her
house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with
the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain
was in the air. In the street below a peddler was
crying his wares. The notes of a distant song
which someone was singing reached her faintly,
and countless sparrows were twittering in the
eaves.
There were patches of blue sky showing here and
there through the clouds that had met and piled
one above the other in the west facing her
window.
She sat with her head thrown back upon the
cushion of the chair, quite motionless, except
when a sob came up into her throat and shook
her, as a child who has cried itself to sleep
continues to sob in its dreams.
She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines
bespoke repression and even a certain strength.
But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose
gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those
patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of
reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of
intelligent thought.
There was something coming to her and she was
waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? She did not
know; it was too subtle and elusive to name. But
she felt it, creeping out of the sky, reaching
toward her through the sounds, the scents, the
color that filled the air.
Now her bosom rose and fell tumultuously. She
was beginning to recognize this thing that was
approaching to possess her, and she was striving
to beat it back with her will--as powerless as her
two white slender hands would have been. When
she abandoned herself a little whispered word
escaped her slightly parted lips. She said it over
and over under the breath: "free, free, free!" The
vacant stare and the look of terror that had
followed it went from her eyes. They stayed keen
and bright. Her pulses beat fast, and the coursing
blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her
body.
She did not stop to ask if it were or were not a
monstrous joy that held her. A clear and exalted
perception enabled her to dismiss the suggestion
as trivial. She knew that she would weep again
when she saw the kind, tender hands folded in
death; the face that had never looked save with
love upon her, fixed and gray and dead. But she
saw beyond that bitter moment a long procession
of years to come that would belong to her
absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms
out to them in welcome.
There would be no one to live for during those
coming years; she would live for herself. There
would be no powerful will bending hers in that
blind persistence with which men and women
believe they have a right to impose a private will
upon a fellow-creature. A kind intention or a cruel
intention made the act seem no less a crime as
she looked upon it in that brief moment of
illumination.
And yet she had loved him--sometimes. Often she
had not. What did it matter! What could love, the
unsolved mystery, count for in the face of this
possession of self-assertion which she suddenly
recognized as the strongest impulse of her being!
"Free! Body and soul free!" she kept whispering.
Josephine was kneeling before the closed door
with her lips to the keyhole, imploring for
admission. "Louise, open the door! I beg; open
the door--you will make yourself ill. What are you
doing, Louise? For heaven's sake open the door."
"Go away. I am not making myself ill." No; she
was drinking in a very elixir of life through that
open window.
Her fancy was running riot along those days
ahead of her. Spring days, and summer days, and
all sorts of days that would be her own. She
breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It
was only yesterday she had thought with a
shudder that life might be long.
She arose at length and opened the door to her
sister's importunities. There was a feverish
triumph in her eyes, and she carried herself
unwittingly like a goddess of Victory. She clasped
her sister's waist, and together they descended
the stairs. Richards stood waiting for them at the
bottom.
Someone was opening the front door with a
latchkey. It was Brently Mallard who entered, a
little travel-stained, composedly carrying his grip-
sack and umbrella. He had been far from the
scene of the accident, and did not even know
there had been one. He stood amazed at
Josephine's piercing cry; at Richards' quick
motion to screen him from the view of his wife.
When the doctors came they said she had died of
heart disease--of the joy that kills.

Stephen Keshi to sign new Super Eagles contract
November 28, 2014 Premium times

The out-of-contract Super Eagles Coach, Stephen Keshi, is set to sign a new contract with the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, the federation has said.

Confirming the plan, an executive member of the NFF board, Emeka Inyama, also told journalists on Friday that based on the recommendations of the Technical Committee to the Federation, Keshi is to be served a new contract.

“The board has mandated the technical committee to finalise a contract for Keshi as he still remains the coach of Nigeria,” Mr. Enyama said.

Officials of the NFF said Keshi would be given a fresh contract on December.

In earlier interviews with PREMIUM TIMES on Thursday, a top NFF official and other sources within the federation, who refused to be named, said Keshi would officially take over the team next month.

“We are going to sign a new contract with Keshi, “the official said. “He has become a case to us, ‘dry fish’ and we can’t fold him, we don’t have anywhere to push him, his connections are so strong and as it is we are going to renew his contract next month.”

Keshi, who was sacked and reinstated to the team, failed to qualify Nigeria for the 2015 Cup of Nations after leading the team to win the 2013 edition of the tournament.

PoliticsCourt Orders SSS To Unseal APC Data Office by Toniosparlet(op): 1:58pm On Nov 27, 2014
A Federal High Court in Lagos, Wednesday, ordered the State Security Service, SSS, to unseal the warehouse used by the All Progressives Congress, APC, as data centre.
Justice Mohammed Yunusa also granted an interim order restraining the SSS from further shutting party’s data office or taking any step in connection with the property pending the determination of the substantive suit.
SSS operatives had, last weekend, raided the building which the opposition party said was its data office at Allen Avenue, Lagos, arresting workers and confiscating documents and computer hard drives.
The SSS said its action was based on a petition it received alleging “unwholesome activities” inside the building.
“Based on this information, the service placed the building under surveillance and having been convinced that some unwholesome activities were going on in the building, it undertook a raid of the premises,” the SSS said in a statement Sunday.
But the APC insists that the building was used for the collation of its members’ data.
On Wednesday, the party, and its staff still under detention at the SSS office, filed an action before the court seeking an enforcement of their fundamental rights.
In their application, the detained APC staff said they were only carrying out their legitimate duties of inputting data from the APC’s physical membership form into a digital database.
In its assertion, the party said the action of the SSS in forcefully entering its data centre and vandalizing its physical and digital assets was a violation of its right to property.
The APC also stated that the “brazen conduct” of the SSS and the Nigerian Police not only sought to intimidate the party’s staff and members, but also compromised the confidential information of millions of Nigerians who volunteered their personal information in accepting the party’s membership.
The judge granted leave to the applicants to serve court processes to the respondents – the Nigerian police and the SSS – by substituted service, at their Lagos offices.
The judge also ordered the respondents to produce the detained applicants (Chinedu Atuche, Fayemi Olaposi, Chika Augustine Onuchukwu, Ebun Ilori, and Esther Enemuwe) in court at the next adjourned date.
Hearing of the matter was adjourned till November 28th.

Buhari lobbies Imo APC delegates with N1 million

November 27, 2014Premium Times

Muhammadu Buhari, APC presidential aspirant
Despite his seemingly austere disposition, a presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday, donated N1 million to the delegates of the party from Imo State to vote him during its December 10 national convention.
Mr. Buhari, a former head of state, met with the delegates at the Regent Hotels, Owerri, during which he lobbied them to vote for him.
He also visited the Imo State House of Assembly to lobby the APC members of the legislature who are statutory delegates to the convention.
The presidential hopeful was accompanied by the Director General of his Campaign Organisation, Audu Ogbeh; a former President of Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Rotimi Akeredolu; and a former member of the House of Representatives, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba.
One of Mr. Buhari’s opponents and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, had at the weekend given N8.5 million to the Sokoto State chapter of the APC.
Mr. Abubakar, who was on national wide campaign, said N5 million was meant to facilitate the party’s activities while N2.5 million was for the 50 delegates from the state.
Other aspirants jostling for the opposition party’s presidential ticket are Governor Rabi’u Kwankwaso of Kano State and the founder of the Leadership newspaper, Sam Nda-Isaiah.
Mr. Buhari had recently launched a crowd sourcing campaign on the social media to raise funds for the primaries.
He is already generating funds online and offline to prosecute his presidential aspiration.
The former head of state, who thrice contested to be president, had in October revealed how he took loan and borrowed from several banks to procure the APC presidential nomination and expression of interest form which cost N27.5 million.
“It’s a pity I couldn’t influence this amount to be put down as in the case of ladies and the disabled that intend to participate. I always looked left and right in our meetings but I could not read sympathy, so I kept my trap,” Mr. Buhari said.
“But I felt heavily sorry for myself because I don’t want to go and ask somebody to pay for my nomination forms because I always try to pay for myself at least for the nomination.
“N27 million is a big sum, thankfully I have personal relationship with the manager of my bank in Kaduna and early this morning, I put an early call (and) I told him that very soon the forms are coming, so whether I am on red, or green or even black please honour it, otherwise I may lose the nomination.”
He also said the cost of the forms was fixed to separate the men from the boys.
The former military leader said, “I don’t expect you have N27 million under your bed. But I expect that there are Nigerians who will vouch for you any day and who are ready to stand for you any day and that is the result that we have obtained today.”

PoliticsNigerian Govt Lying About State Of Economy — Obasanjo by Toniosparlet(op): 5:53am On Nov 27, 2014
Nigerian govt lying about state of economy — Obasanjo
November 26, 2014

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Wednesday lambasted President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration over the state of the country’s economy, saying government was deceiving Nigerians with its claims of fantastic economic growth.
“What the public know or see of the economy is not what the economy truly is,” the former president told guests in Abuja at the public presentation of an autobiography of the former Chairman Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission, ICPC, Mustapha Akanbi.
“The economy is in the doldrums, if not in reverse. The often-quoted GDP (gross domestic product) growth neither reflects on the living condition of most of our people, nor on most of the indigenous industries and services where capacity utilization is almost 50 per cent,” he added.
The Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, had said during a recent media briefing in Abuja that “in spite of global uncertainty, the country’s economy continues to evolve with dynamism, stability and resilience riding on sound macroeconomic management, even in the face of oil price and quantity shocks.”
According to Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala, the government’s strong macroeconomic management capacity had resulted in the country’s GDP growth (estimated at 6.5 per cent in 2013) being one of the fastest in the world (26th), with the recent GDP rebasing making the country the largest economy in Africa ahead of South Africa.
But the former president said the recent developments around the economy as a result of falling global oil prices are indications that such claims of superior economic performance are a farce, particularly the management of the proceeds from oil and gas resources, which shows the country did not adequately prepare rainy days.
He blamed the poor economic situation in the country on corruption, adding that the non-investment and disinvestment in the oil and gas sector by the major international oil companies had added another dimension to the issue.
Nigeria’s continued heavy dependence on oil resources, he noted, had not adequately prepared the country against any shock, pointing out that with the $78 per barrel benchmark proposed in the 2015 budget, it was clear the country would be in a bind if oil price fell to $75 per barrel.
“We had not adequately prepared for the rainy days in the management of proceeds from oil and gas resources. With crude oil purchase by the U.S. from Nigeria going down by some 30 per cent in the last three years as a result of shale oil revolution, things are not looking up in the oil and gas sector, and hence, in the economy,” he noted.
Referring to the prediction by the International Energy Agency, IEA, that global crude oil price would continue to fall through the first half of 2015 and even to the end of the year, Mr. Obasanjo said with the shale oil revolution and U.S. self-sufficiency in energy as well as possibility of her becoming a net exporter, the country must re-strategize to survive.
If nothing is done to check the situation, the former president said the country may in future find it difficult to fund its budget and may have to borrow to pay salaries and allowances.
Revenue allocations to states and local governments, he noted, had already drastically reduced in recent times, with capital projects at all levels drastically cut or stopped.
Though the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, on Tuesday announced the immediate devaluation of the Naira by 8.38 per cent to stem crashing value of the national currency, Mr. Obasanjo warned that sooner or later the country may be compelled to drastically devalue again without any benefit to the commodity economy.
“We will all sink deeper in poverty, except for those who have corruptly stashed money abroad and who will start to bring such illegal and illegitimate funds back home to harvest more Naira. All the economic gains of recent years and the rebuilding of the middle class may be lost.
“In the end, more businesses will close down, business men and women, entrepreneurs and investors will incur more debts. Foreign investors may temporarily stop investing in a downturn economy. Because of the Naira depreciation, workers, particularly in the public sector, will ask for pay increase, which may be justified, but will sink us deeper in the swamp.
“The scenario, which may sound alarmist, is hard to imagine, but the signs are there, and it would appear that those who should act are dancing foxtrot, while their trousers are catching fire,” Mr. Obasanjo said.

Jonathan to Obasanjo: I’m Nigeria’s best
leader
NOVEMBER 24, 2014 BY OLUSOLA FABIYI

President Jonathan and Obasanjo
President Goodluck Jonathan has described
himself as the best leader to be produced by
Nigeria.
The President said no leader since the country
gained independence in 1960 had done better
than himself for the country.
He, therefore, said the comment made by former
President Olusegun Obasanjo, in which the ex-
President described Jonathan’s performance as
below average, was untrue.
Jonathan said this in a statement by his Special
Assistant on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, in
Abuja on Sunday.
Okupe’s statement read, “Our attention has been
drawn to comments made by a former President
of this country, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo,
regarding the performance of the administration
of President Goodluck Jonathan.
“Obasanjo had at an event over the weekend
declared that he rated the President Goodluck
Jonathan administration ‘below average’.
“We aver that Obasanjo’s comments are untrue,
misleading and clearly do not tally with the facts
on the ground.
“We therefore wish to assert without
equivocation that in terms of performance and
achievements, no administration since 1960
when Nigeria gained independence from Britain,
has done as much as that of President
Jonathan.”
He said that every discerning and unbiased
Nigerian would definitely attest to this “as the
evidence stare all of us in the face.”
Okupe, who had also worked with the former
President while in office, added that contrary to
Obasanjo’s position, the Federal Government
under Jonathan had performed excellently given
the prevailing circumstances and resources
available to it.
He said while it was true that Nigeria had been
faced with incidents of insurgency and terrorism,
especially in the last few years, the Jonathan
administration had successfully contained the
initial widespread activities of the insurgents,
which he said were prevalent in 12 states of the
North, including the Federal Capital Territory.
He added, “While it is true that the present
activities of the terrorists in the three north-
eastern states have become more deadly in
mindless killings, kidnappings and supposed
territorial seizures, government has made giant
diplomatic strides with our neighbouring
countries in order to checkmate the crisscrossing
of the insurgents.
“The military and other security agents, which
have engaged the insurgents since inception,
have done a great job in spite of recent
challenges.
“The truth of the matter which we must know
and accept is that we have an internal enemy
supported by internal and external resources
waging a major warfare against our nation.”

Supreme Court reinstates impeached
Taraba deputy governor
NOVEMBER 21, 2014 BY ADE ADESOMOJU,
ABUJA

The Supreme Court has ordered the immediate
reinstatement of Deputy Governor of Taraba
State, Alhaji Sanni Danladi, who was impeached
by the state House of Assembly in October 2012.
In a unanimous judgment, the Supreme Court
held that the impeachment panel set up by the
House of Assembly to investigate the allegations
against Danladi violated his rights to fair hearing.
The impeachment panel was said to have gone
ahead with its proceedings without hearing
Danladi and recommended his impeachment,
while the panel snubbed his court papers which
he served on it to challenge its composition.
Justice Sylvester Ngwuta who delivered the lead
judgment held that there seemed to be
conspiracy between both the Taraba State High
Court and the “kangaroo” impeachment panel to
frustrate the appellant.
He held that set aside the judgments of both the
Court of Appeal and the Taraba State High Court,
which had dismissed Danaladi’s suit.
The apex court held that the two lower courts
ought to have resolved the issue of fair hearing in
favour of Danladi.
Danladi was impeached about a month before
the governor of the state, Dambaba Suntai, was
involved in an air accident.
Garba Umar, who was appointed to replace
Danladi, was later elevated as the acting
governor, following Suntai’s ill health that
resulted from the crash.

CBN ranks
Anambra 2nd in
microfinance
banking
Our Reporter: EMMANUEL UZOR,
ONITSHA
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
has disclosed that Anambra State
currently ranks second in the list
of states with highest number of
Micro Finance Banks (MFBs) in the
country even as the Oko Micro
Finance Bank launched its new
branch.
Speaking in Oko during the
commissioning of the new branch
of Oko Micro Finance Bank, a
Director at the CBN, Enugu
branch, Mr. Ogadi Mmeka,
disclosed that apart from Lagos
State which has the highest
number of banks, Anambra State
ranks second.
Mmeka attributed the feat to what
he described as industrial nature
of Ndi Anambra, adding that it
became imperative for more MFBs
to spring up in various parts of the
state to assist traders in doing
their business, while commending
the Oko Micro Finance Bank for
surmounting various challenges
facing the sector.
He urged the bank not to relent in
its success but strive harder to
open more branches and raise a
capital of N100 million to get to
the status of a state Micro Finance
Bank which will give it leverage to
open more branches in any part of
the state.
Mmeka further advised the
management of Oko Micro
Fianance Bank to maintain proper
quality internal control measures
through installation of ICT to
monitor the activities of the bank
and its staff to maintain high
ethical standards.
Earlier in his address, the
Chairman, Board of Directors, Dr.
Emma Udoye, attributed the
success story of the bank to what
he described as synergy between
the staff and members of the
board, which, he said, led to the
bank opening more branches.
Udoye further disclosed that the
bank decided to open more
branches to serve its numerous
customers, noting that it had
became necessary to expand its
services to accommodate its
numerous customers.
He further said the bank
surmounted various challenges to
get to the present stage because
of the unity of purpose in Oko
Community, while expressing
optimism that in no distant time,
the bank would open more
branches in other parts of the
state to serve its customers
better.
Also speaking, the Traditional
Ruler of Oko Community, Igwe
Prof. Laz Ekwueme, commended
the board, management and staff
of the microfinance bank for
expanding its services to reach out
to its numerous customers,
disclosing that it was the first
community-owned bank to open a
new branch in the state.

PoliticsRe: Please What Has Our President Actually Done Wrong(a Must Read 4 Nigerians) by Toniosparlet(m):
explorer250:
Give us the proof where he said that stealing is not corruption. What corruption are you even talking about? Can the so called increase in corruption be compared to abacha loot?,the unaccounted and unprobed $2.8bn oil money when buhari was the mininster of petroleum and several billions when he was the petroleum trust fund chairman?, can it be compared to the illegal acquisation of oil blocks by northerners?, the obasanjo loot when he was both military and civilian head of state, through several hike in oil prices?, can it be compared to the ibb loot?, can it be compared with the nigerian farm machines that was turned to obj personal farm machines? Can it be compared with the loot of the several northern military heads of state? Or has it been proved that jonathan looted the nations treasury? 3 stella odua: hasnt she been removed? Did Gej share the money with her? Is it Gejs fault that she bought armoured vehicles? Even at that did el rufai achieved more fleet than odua? What about the missing aviation money that was stolen by el rufai? 4 farook: did Gej benefit from his misconduct? 5 oil subsidy: during the regime obj oil prices was higher than that of Gej. Have you forgotten that Gej stabilised oil price at N65 for a long time which no previous administration did? Havent you felt the impact of sure_p? The hospital at my village was built by sure_p and other countless projects. Do you know that the FG only take 40% of sure_p while states take the remaining 60%? Havent you heared of the vehicle donations, youth skill acquisation, 2nd niger bridge etc that FG embarked on with their little 40% of sure_p. If you dont feel the benefit of the subsidy removal then hold your state goverment responsible. 6 boko saga: do you have evidence to indict those wineing and dining with Gej? If Gej uses the military without tangible evidence to arrest buhari, ibb and all the northern elites and political leaders on the basis of supporting insurgency how will you feel? Infact that will mark the end of nigeria. For crying out loud have anyone caught them giving money or any assistance to boko haram? People like you will be the first to protest against such act. 7 epileptic power: you are either a joker or an ignorant fool in this aspect. Can you vouch with your life that power hasnt improve since Gej regime? I can swear with mine! Did you see obj and the previous administrations make significant investment in the power sector? But Gej has put so much attention to power not less than 2 power plants are found across each state of federation. As i am typing now i have electricity in my house i can boast of nothing less than 10hrs power supply each day unlike before when power was maximum for 2 hours for every two days because we shared our transformer with three streets. 8 umemployment: umemployment has been a global problem not only in Nigeria. Wasnt there increase in unemployment during previous administrations or was everybody employed then? Lolz. But jonathan is doing his part to secure employment for Nigerians. Come to igboland and witness for yourself. We do not depend on govt rather we struggle to work out our employment. Igboland is the region with the least FG presence after the civil war but we are still the region with the lowest unemployment rate in Nigeria, suprised?, google it in case of doubts. I think that your region should do more at encouraging hardwork among its citizens and human resources. Leave FG alone so that we will not go into abject poverty, little wonder why the north is the porert despite over 40 years in power. 9 factional leadership: do you mean factional leader of ss and se when over 80% of his project go to the north, do you mean factional leader when he commissioned over 100bn project at north east despite the insurgency, something he has not even done for se. It is only the sw that can lament the inability of Gej to live upto expectation to them but for any northerner saying so is an ingrate and hypocrite. I will still say it Gej is a saint compared to previous administrations. And also pls if you want to accuse Gej bring out the proven evidence of his misdeeds and not mere sentiments angry
You said it all man....More grease to your elbow. Those lamenting over GEJ's performance should now provide a reputable candidate under the broom of apc that can overthrown GEJ. Its only then i can back down and support whoever the candidate may be!!!....For the now Gej till 2019!.
