Abayhormy:

Our South East Brothers especially are really getting it all wrong.


No! Its the South East politicians that got it wrong. And you know why they succeeded? Because the average Igbo man really don't care which is also dangerous. They allowed the politicians to manipulate the process. Forget the vote tally in SE. It was never a true reflection of the voting. See what has happened at the Gubernatorial election. At the end of the day, PDP will only win in 2 SE states because I see Imo going to APC and Abia going to APGA. Anambra is already APGA. So out of 5 states, PDP gets only two. The same way PDP has 2 states in SW. So PDP is not dominating SE. I will like to see SE have a regional party like APGA that will constantly form an alliance with other parties at the center but maintain its foothold in the SE. That is what Tinubu did with APC. Like Tinubu or hate him, I love his foresight and that is what I had expected my self-serving Igbo politicians to do. Igbos do not need to join APC or PDP but have a regional party that can be used as a bargaining chip when necessary. Gov Okorocha understood this point but ex-Gov Peter Obi was busy chasing away flies from GEJ and refused to see beyond his nose and later abandoned the APGA to PDP. Very unfortunate.

Sometimes I wonder the kind of support we Igbos are allegedly giving to GEJ whereas in nearby port harcourt an Igbo man is labelled a non-indigene. You find it difficult to get employment, get contract or even do business in port harcourt as an Igbo man and yet GEJ is supposed to be our brother.

Politics / Re: Update From South South And South East Urgently Needed by wiseguy(m): 12:56am On Mar 29, 2015
There was low turn out of voters in most parts of the East. The results should have been ready by now but the politicians wants to pad it up. Whatever they do, it can never be more than the registered voters. Unfortunately, my fellow Igbo brothers are at the moment in political wilderness. It will take we Igbos about the next 20 yrs to have a generation of genuine leaders with a sense of purpose and not the present opportunists littered everywhere. So sad!
Education / Re: A School Inside A Container In Port-harcourt by wiseguy(m): 8:45am On Mar 13, 2015
This was done in most primary schools that were reconstructed late before the start of the school session. Its just temporary and for goodness sake OP, it's called a portakabin and not containers. If you want to see containers go to Onne or Apapa port. When it comes to education, you can't touch Amaechi. Pls find another topic like monorail if you want to criticize Amaechi not education because it won't fly.
Politics / Re: Is This How All Public Pry Schools Look Like In Rivers State? See (pictures) by wiseguy(m): 7:48am On Mar 13, 2015
I live in Rivers state and I must say that close to 90% of the primary schools look like this and one or two secondary school in each local govt he built will make some glorified federal universities green with envy. No matter how much opponents of Amaechi hates him, they can't touch or dare criticize his achievements in education and health. In all of Wike's campaign, he has never mentioned or try to criticize Amaechi when it comes to those two issues because he know better. Another area the Governor did well is in Agriculture and Power.
Travel / Re: I Am In Dilemma, Do We Relocate To Canada Or Stay Back by wiseguy(m): 9:54pm On Feb 27, 2015
My advice: Let your hubby go test the waters first. Both of you can't put all your eggs in one basket. I know the problem here. You two are newly married and expecting and bodi dey do una paulina paulina. But make una gbaa break. Have some reality check. It takes time to relocate to Canada legally. Let your husband first apply for permanent residency under the Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP). Once that is granted, it also qualifies his family (wife and kids) automatic entry to canada. Another advantage of FSWP is that it places your name in the Canadian job bank such that if you are lucky you might get a prospective employer even before you migrate. I advice you to do more research but whatever is the case both of you should never go at once.

SPEECH

By

DR GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN, GCON, GCFR

President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces

of the

Federal Republic of Nigeria

AT THE

12 TH SESSION OF THE ISLAMIC SUMMIT CONFERENCE

CAIRO, EGYPT

6 TH – 7 TH FEBRUARY 2013



Your Excellency, Mohammed Morsi

President of the Arab Republic of Egypt and

Chairman of the 12 th Islamic Summit Conference

Your Majesties

Your Excellencies, Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Heads of Delegation

Your Excellency, Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu

Secretary-General, Organisation of the Islamic Conference

Distinguished Delegates

Ladies and Gentlemen,

1. On behalf of myself and my Colleagues from the Africa Group, it is an honour for me to address the 12 th Summit of the Organisation of Islamic Conference, holding here in Cairo, the capital city of Egypt which is widely acclaimed as the cradle of civilization.

2. I wish to convey my sincere appreciation to President Morsi, the Government and people of the Arab Republic of Egypt for the generous hospitality extended to me and my delegation since our arrival; and for the excellent arrangements made for this Summit. I wish also, to congratulate him on his election as the Chairman of this Summit. We are confident that his acknowledged leadership qualities will go a long way in supporting the active role, which the Organisation has been playing on the global scene.

3. I also wish to place on record my sincere gratitude to President Macky Sall of the Republic of Senegal for the eminent role played by his country in steering the affairs of the Organisation, since the last Summit Conference in Dakar, in 2008.

4. Mr Chairman, this Summit is taking place at a very crucial moment in the history of our Organisation; given our collective determination to consolidate our solidarity especially in the socio-economic domain. Our deliberations would afford us the opportunity to take stock of what we have accomplished since the adoption of the Ten Year Programme of Action, which provides a credible road-map for the transformation of our respective economies and for the promotion of peace, security and sustainable development in our Member States.

5. The successful implementation of the poverty alleviation programmes is highly commendable. Equally so is the progress made in the domain of expanding intra-OIC trade, which has risen from 14.5% in 2005 to 17.71% in 2011.

6. Nigeria, and indeed Africa, is proud of the achievements realized in the area of trade financing, which recorded a cumulative increase by 63% from US$24.4 billion in 2005 to US$39.9 billion in 2011. It is also noteworthy that the Special Programme for development of Africa (SPDA) has made enormous financial contributions, such that it has increased the human and technical capacity development in African countries. This initiative, in addition to the OIC activities under the Islamic Solidarity Fund for Development (ISFD), has assisted the various national efforts at economic recovery in our respective countries.

7. While commending the various OIC institutions for their active contributions to these achievements, I wish to announce Nigeria’s support for the proposal to increase the authorized capital of the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) from its present US$30 Billion to about US$50. It is our sincere belief that this new increase will assist the Bank, as it seeks to actualize the objectives for which this specialized OIC institution was established.

8. The sharp decline in agricultural productivity in addition to the colossal drop in foreign direct investments and the steady increase in food bills have all created economic hardships, which pushed up the average poverty index in OIC Member States from 25% in 2005 to 38% in 2011.

9. It is due to the interventions deployed under the various OIC poverty alleviation programmes that this Organisation has been able to mobilize collective actions, in order to address the menace posed by these crises.

10. Mr. Chairman, since our last Summit, the global political and economic landscapes have presented additional challenges for which our Organisation has been called upon to address. The global financial and food crises reached their peaks during this period and left their impacts on the economies of our countries.

11. Your Excellencies, on the political plane, many of our Member States are facing grave challenges bordering on terrorism, threat to peace and insecurity. The crises in Syria and the Sahel region have assumed such serious dimensions, requiring concerted efforts to resolve. So far, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the African Union have taken the initiative to find solutions to the problems posed by the activities of armed terrorist groups operating in the region and threatening our collective stability.

12. The endeavours under the African-led Support Mission in Mali (AFISMA), to liberate areas occupied in the Northern part of this Member State of our Organisation by armed extremist groups, would require the full and unflinching support of this Summit. The bulk of the troop contributing nations are African members of the OIC. I therefore appeal to other Member States outside the continent, to actively extend all forms of support, financial and logistics, to ensure the successful implementation of all aspects of the UN Security Council Resolution 2085, which also authorised the deployment of AFISMA in Mali.

13. Mr Chairman and Excellencies, it is in this connection that I convey the utmost appreciation of Africa to this esteemed Organisation for her principled stand, solidarity and support for the ECOWAS/African Union (AU) initiatives on the unfortunate developments in Mali, nearly one year ago. The Declaration on Mali, which will be adopted at this Summit to establish a Contact Group at a Ministerial level to monitor developments in Mali, is a further testimony of the commitment and resolve of the OIC, to remain a valued partner with Africa in search for sustainable stability, peace and development in that country as well as in the Sahel in general.

14. Your Excellencies, as the menace posed by the activities of terrorist groups to the security and stability of our Member States is closely linked to the proliferation of small arms and light weapons, we, in Nigeria, have been in the forefront of the campaign for the adoption of the United Nations Plan of Action on Small Arms and Light Weapons; due to the realisation that most wars were caused by the proliferation of small arms and light weapons. I wish, therefore, to request this Summit to align itself with the evolving global consensus on control of the movement of conventional weapons, in order to make our region a safer place for investment and development.

15. I would like to observe that the OIC, as the umbrella organisation of the Muslim World, provides a unique platform for the forging of cooperation, solidarity and joint actions, based on common values and ideals, which will help to promote the virtues of tolerance and moderation for the achievement of international peace and harmony.

16. Excellencies and dear colleagues, with regards to the reforms of the United Nations (UN), especially its Security Council (SC), Africa wishes to regretfully observe the slow pace and the seeming lack of progress, nearly one decade after the processes were initiated. We in Africa believe strongly, that the calls for democratization worldwide, should not be limited to member states alone but extended to International Organisations such as the UN, especially its Security Council. This is not only central to but imperative to the enthronement of justice, equity and fairness which are badly needed to create a sense of balance in our world. Africa and the OIC need to reinforce the support for each other, to attain this objective in the course of the 68 th Session of the UNGA.

17.Finally, Mr Chairman, I wish to take the opportunity to inform this august body that my country has decided to seek re-election for the 2014 -2015 rotational Non-Permanent seat of the UNSC which will be vacated by Togo in December 2013. In line with our tradition of forging consensus on matters of common interest, Nigeria will be counting on your usual support and solidarity.

18.I thank you for your kind attention.

DesChyko:
That picture looks suspicious.
After Jonathan, there seems to be another person, at least the leg is visible. And the leg is pointing foward, not tilted like Jonathan's.

So, the question is, 'Why would GEJ be the only person facing sideways while every other person is facing foward?

I don't believe there's just one camera on the scene. I believe they are many which explains why no other person is facing sideways. This camera is taken from the side, unlike other pictures. I need to research on this. It seems phoney.

My Dear, it was a well known event that happened in 2013. Please google is your friend. Jonathan is the only Nigerian President that has attended the OIC Summit. Its even on Abati's webpage till date. Please make sure you are back with the result of your research. meanwhile, let me start by helping you with some of the links below:

Yet, to his ultimate shame, Chimaroke won yet he did not remove his cloth again. So, I don't blame him.
For me, it's GEJ all the way

I listened and watched that video. There's no where that Mbaka said categorically that Jonathan will lose election. He only said there will be disaster if he wins and that a lot of people will lose their jobs. He never prophesied that Jonathan will lose. But again, my prayer and that of most Nigerians is that Jona should return to Otuoke come 29th May. Iseeeeee!!!

So, our Presido was at the last OIC summit and even made a speech. Later some PDP and TANoids will come online accusing Buhari of registering Nigeria at the OIC and plans to Islamize the country. If the agenda of OIC was to Islamize their memebers, why is Goodluck Jonathan, a Christian President, in attendance at the last summit? What stops him from de-registering Nigeria from the Organization? Question for PDP.

In the scheme of things calling a man corrupt when he is a common thief trivialises the seriousness.

That's the point the president is making


It trivialises it because we have sunk so low that stealing has become normal and even celebrated. Any political appointee is xpected by his family and community to steal as much as he can using his position. So it has become normal. Otherwise, there is nothing trivial about stealing. A thief is a corrupted individual. Our forefathers never trivialized stealing. It was a serious offence in most communities and offenders are often seriously dealt with, even killed or banished from the community.

So eventhough in terms of technicalities of English language "Stealing is not corruption" may be wrong. I understand the sentiments behind the argument. There is some truth in it.
What goes on in public offices in Nigeria is stealing but in most developed countries you have corruption in public offices!

Corruption is like a common name to many acts that are morally wrong. Simply put stealing is an act of corruption. Any thief is simply corrupt. The word corrupt simply means that something or somebody has a behaviour outside the norm. It is not normal to steal. So the persons behaviour or mannerism has been corrupted and the person can even be said to be morally corrupt. So whether you stole money, goods, use your position to get favors, etc. All are forms of corruption.

My Brother, stay strong on your faith. I don't know how long you have experienced this but you are under probation for 5 yrs. The truth is that u have a call and the Almighty is testing your faith in Him. Your time must surely come and u will get favors from all those u have helped especially ur sister. What u will achieve in one year will surpass what others have achieved in 10 years. Trust and have faith in God. You shall overcome. Meet a man of God to xplain things to you. Please tarry a while and keep praying and working hard.
