One of Nigeria’s online newspapers, The Trent has named former President Goodluck Jonathan Person of the Year 2015.

In a statement the leader of the nation says that he is aware of all
challenges that Nigeria is currently facing, noting that these problems are only temporary.


Buhari once again promised Nigerians change in 2016, adding that
he wanted to be a leader who initiates positive and enduring
change.


Read Buhari’s congratulatory statement in full below:


“Fellow citizens,

“Welcome to the beginning of a New Year of the continuation
of CHANGE in our beloved nation.
“I am aware that Nigerians have experienced a number of
significant hardships over the past months. Living in the State
House has not alienated me from your daily sufferings. I am
aware of the lengthy queues at fuel stations and of the
difficulties businesses have faced in acquiring foreign
exchange. These challenges are only temporary; we are
working to make things better.


“When I presented myself to you as a presidential candidate
and asked you to vote for me, I wanted to be a leader who
keeps his promises. I wanted to be a leader who restores the
people’s hope in those elected to serve them. I wanted to be a
leader who initiates positive and enduring CHANGE.



“I am still totally committed to being that kind of leader.
Unforeseen circumstances and other distractions
notwithstanding, I shall still do my utmost best to keep every
promise I made to Nigerians during my election campaign.


“In the past seven months since our inauguration on May 29,
2015, my administration has focused on laying the right
foundation for the CHANGE you voted for during our historic
presidential election.


“Nigerians will in due course begin to enjoy the fruits of all our
ongoing work. The effective and efficient implementation of our
2016 budget proposals will address many of the socio-
economic issues that are of current concern to our people.


“One area in which Nigerians, especially those in the northeast,
have already begun to experience major CHANGE is in the war
on terror.


“I commend our Armed Forces for significantly curtailing the
insurgency which has ravaged the northeast of Nigeria over the
past few years.
“However, there is still a lot of work to be done in the area of
security.


“Our Armed Forces will maintain, consolidate and build on their
successes in the war against Boko Haram and violent
extremism.
This government will not consider the matter concluded until
the terrorists have been completely routed and normalcy
restored to all parts of the country that have been adversely
affected by the Boko Haram insurgency.


“Our crackdown on corruption will continue to be vigorously
undertaken. I urge the courts to support our efforts and help in
the recovery of stolen funds by speedily concluding trials and
showing that impunity no longer has a place in our country.


“There is much work to do in other areas as well and I have
charged all my ministers and other appointees to ensure that
Nigerians experience positive changes in their lives in 2016.


“We must reduce our country’s reliance on oil. We must
diversify our economy. And we must do all we can to promote
job creation.
Our challenges are many but our determination to succeed is
strong and unshaken.”

Scores of people were killed on Saturday in Borno state by
three bomb blasts in separate locations in the state capital,
Maiduguri. The first one occured at the Baga fish Market.
The market is the biggest fish outlet in Northeast Nigeria
where buyers and traders from across Nigeria and
communities along the shores of the Lake Chad converge.

The incident happened at about 11.10am at the main gate of
the market.
Minutes after the Baga Market blast, another one exploded at
the Maiduguri Monday market in the heart of the state capital.
Witnesses said the blast was equally devastating because it
killed "many people."

"The blast was devastating because it killed many people,"
Mohammed Mai Kifi, a fish monger said of the Baga market
explosion.
"It killed hawkers of bread, tea, fruits, labourers and artisans,
this is a sad day for us."
Tahir Mamman, who sells egg at precinct of the Monday
market said the blast went off near Kofa biyu.
"It killed many people, especially women and dates (Dabino)
sellers," he said.

Monday market has remained a soft spot for the Boko Haram
terrorists who have launched several attacks there.
Yet another one went off at the Borno Express Bus Terminus
along Damaturu road in Maiduguri. It also killed many people
witnesses said.

Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Borno State,
Barrister Kaka Shehu described the attacks as "heinous,
barbaric and desperation by terrorists."
According to him, "We condemn this act in its entirety and we
extend our condolences to the victims. Based on the directive
of his Excellency, Governor Kashim Shettima, we have
mobilized health workers to assist the victims. The terrorists
are angry with the way they were sacked from town and
villages and are now venting their anger on soft targets.”
Our correspondent reports that the whole area has been
cordoned off by security forces, vigilantes and health workers.
Weekly Trust could not immediately verify how many people
were killed or whether the bomb was ferried to the scene by a
suicide bomber or planted.

Ice Prince is rocking a new look!

He coloured his beard blonde – Are you feeling it?

Op, I believe you. I know what those soldiers are capable of. I am a witness to their extreme bestiality several times.
Funny enough, I have been to that badagry beach with 2 army officers on mufti twice from owode yewa on Christmas days. Well behaved men. Went with our girls and back without any incidence.
The military officers are usually very well behaved, but the problem is the rank and file,those we called recruitus.
Was in a club last year in apapa, and a very disastrous incident, which I wount narrate, occurred with those recruitus. And I was like 'what da hell!'

My brother u are definitely stupid.. See hw u engrave things u really do not knw much abt in ur mind. Please learn to address issues with real facts, fool!!

Lamido Sanusi has called for Nigeria to have fewer MPs

'Nigeria's House of Representatives speaker has
threatened to order the arrest of the central bank
chief and 14 others over the fate of $8bn (£5bn).
The office of speaker Aminu Tambuwal said he had signed
arrest warrants for Lamido Sanusi and the other officials'.

The warrants will be executed if they fail to appear before
MPs to explain the whereabouts of money allegedly owed to
the treasury, a spokesman said.

Mr Sanusi said he was unaware of the warrant and denied
any wrongdoing.

He is widely respected in banking circles in Africa and the
West. In 2011, he was named the Central Bank Governor of
the Year by the global financial publication, The Banker.
'Nothing personal'
Earlier this month, he called for the size of the House of
Representatives, the 360-member lower chamber, to be
reduced to free up money for development.
He also called for the number of public servants to be cut
by half.

Mr Tambuwal's spokesman, Imam Imam, said other officials
for whom warrants have been issued include Andrew
Yakub, group managing director of the state-owned Nigeria
National Petroleum Corporation's (NNPC), and National
Pension Commission Director-General Muhammad Ahmad.
He said MPs would enforce the arrest warrants if the
officials failed to appear before a parliamentary committee
to account for the money.

The officials apparently have until Thursday to appear
before MPs, reports the BBC's Chris Ewokor from the
capital, Abuja.

The warrants were issued because the 15 officials are
accused of refusing to honour several invitations to explain
to MPs the alleged failure to transfer about $8bn to the
treasury, he says.

However, a police spokesman told our correspondent he
had no knowledge of the warrants.
Mr Sanusi told the BBC he was out of Nigeria, but the
deputy governor would appear before MPs.

He said he was unaware of an arrest warrant for him.
"I personally don't believe the speaker signed such a
warrant as these things are not personal," he said.
Mr Sanusi said the Central Bank of Nigeria has made
remittances to the treasury in accordance with the law.
"Our accounts are audited by two reputable external
auditors...

No government agency or department even
comes near our contribution to the budget," he said.
Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil producer, but most of its
population lives in poverty.
Critics say corruption is endemic in the government and
there is a lack of financial accountability.

FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke has
welcomed the introduction of goal-line
technology, which is to be used for the first time
in a match at the Club World Cup in Japan:
Sanfrecce Hiroshima against Auckland City.


The issue of goal-line technology has veered
from one extreme to the other in recent years,
with FIFA unsure whether it would undermine
officials rather than help them. However, world
football's governing body will try out two
systems - UK-based Hawk-Eye and GoalRef, from
Germany - in Japan to see if they can be
implemented at a wider level.


"It's a big day,'' Valcke told FIFA's website.
"Tomorrow will be the first time that goal-line
technology will be officially used in a game. The
tests are done; and the instillation tests were
successful.
"This is also an important day for us, because we
will use one of the two systems we are using
here in the FIFA Confederations Cup next year.''


He added: "This is a kind of revolution. It is the
first time that this kind of technology is coming
into football. It will be restricted to the goal-line
specifically. The IFAB (International Football
Association Board) is there to ensure the 17 laws
of the game are protected.


"It was their decision, and they were clear, to
say that the technology is limited to the goal-
line. We must ensure that when the ball goes
into the goal, the referee must get the
information that the ball has gone in. The
referee has the final decision.
"The technology won't change the speed, value
or spirit of the game.

There is no reason to be
against this technology.''


The Hawk-Eye system is the same as that used
in cricket and tennis, which relies on a series of
seven cameras to create a 3D picture of each
goal, while GoalRef uses electro-magnetic
sensors.

Valcke also said he had full confidence there
would be no errors from the technology.


"It needs to be the most accurate system we can
have at the moment,'' he said. "There can be no
mistakes with this and that is why the IFAB took
two years to make sure the system was perfect.''
