Are you kidding?

I need you so much because I love you so much. You must understand that. Not a single minute goes by without my thinking of you. You seem to touch a nerve in me. Life goes on around me but I seem to be always dreaming. I dream of a life with you. I know it's silly to write this instead of saying it to your face, but I would love to marry you and live with you always. One day, I will ask you properly. Who knows? It could be next time we meet.

North and South Nigeria both have a great deal to offer each other and the world, culturally, religiously and economically. And the whole would always be greater than the sum of its parts.

The extra-judicial Killing of the leader and founder of Boko Haram group Muhammad Yusuf in 2009 which led to the total break down of law and order by his followers, was neither the doing of the Police force nor the Nigerian Soldiers. It was always the politicians and appointees who were frustrated or impatient and wanted to get themselves a victory however quick and dirty.

This is the most irresponsible statement I've ever heard. Make no mistake Gov Gabriel Suswam is an agent of the devil. He belongs to the devil's territory and the cabal (PDP) that has been destroying this country. If we give them the chance by acting based on our sentiments rather than reality, PDP will do anything at all cost to divide Nigerian People. Some dollop-heads commenting on this thread doesn't know the actual meaning of the words "DIVIDE AND RULE"

Will you please stop that crap and show some respect to the death? Death is a calamity. It doesn't end with the afflicted individuals. It didn't start with them. Nigerians like making silly jokes at the death of leaders. Not a good habit. The dead deserves our respect. So Brothers and sisters! Let us respect the dead. No doubt, we have problem with our leaders. But with death everything ends. Let's wait for our turn, it cant be far away.

By this time, day before yesterday, you didn't know that you will be a governor yesterday. You were even alienated and billed for impeachment, for whatever reason, it is said. Now that you are a governor, you are likely to be infected by the virus that make Nigerian leaders turn away from God and embrace Satan and the cabal that has been destroying this country. Don't be one of them. It will be the greatest betrayal to ALLAH. They did not give you the position. God did.

So embrace ALLAH and none else by facing your job with courage, diligence, dedication and justice to all. You are leading a state that is cosmopolitan and at a time that demands a lot dexterity to ensure that everyone feels a sense of belonging. Each citizen in your state, Muslim and Christian, is a stakeholder like any other.
Please stand firm against the different power blocks and individuals that will attempt to manipulate you subtly or intimidate you openly. If you follow any of them you will be betraying ALLaH and his servants that He placed now under your care.

Open your doors to people through various means including the social media such that you will know their problems directly. Listen to every advice with wise ear. Reject anything that would lead to injustice and accept all that will lead to fairness and peaceful coexistence and good governance.

May ALLAH be your guide sir.

He may try it, but to save him some time, I am not working for the Government.

I nominate Gov Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State with his inglorious record of being the first Governor in the World to fire a Civil Servant over Facebook Comment make against him on Corruption. The man that will fire someone just for simple facebook postings would have been strong enough to face Boko-Haram. But immediately after recieving a threat to kill him, Yuguda relocated to a safe haven in Abuja, an act of cowardice that make Yuguda the most absentee among Nigerian Governors. Sometimes he will take four to five months before paying a single visit to his state.

Below is a link containing an interview with Gov. Isa Yuguda of Bauchi state on the issue of security in the State. Yuguda Said Bauchi still remain the most peaceful State in Nigeria.

But why not ask Gov. Yuguda the reason why he relocated to a safe haven in Abuja immediately after recieving a threat on his life to kill him. As Dr Aliyu Tilde said "This is much unlike Fulani".

:::GOV. YUGUDA'S 2013 BUDGET OF CUWA-CUWA:::

PLEASE CAN YOU ANALYSE THE BLOCK LETTERS IN THE STORY BELOW?

Bauchi state Governor, Malam Isa Yuguda, Tuesday presented a budget of N137.3 billion to the state House of Assembly for the 2013 fiscal year as against N132.5 billion spent last year.

BUT, Yuguda while presenting the Appropriation Bill to the state house of Assembly, said N63,348,292.151.00 was earmarked for recurrent expenditure, while the sum of N73,993,816,176.00 was for capital expenditure AND THE REST.

Tagged “Budget of sustainable development” (I RENAME IT Budget of CUWA-CUWA), the governor stated that the budget would target on the completion of ongoing projects and PROGRAMS of the present and PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION, as NEW PROJECTS would NEVER BE EMBARKED UPON except where they become absolutely necessary.

According to Yuguda, “government had ADOPTED measures to REINVIGORATE REVENUE GENERATION, check FINANCIAL LINKAGES, promote PROBITY as well as BUDGET DISPLINE. In the 2012 budget implementation, we faced a number of challenges. This was largely due to PERSONNEL and other OVERHEAD COST because of the SECURITY CHALLENGES FACED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.”

A civilian Governor with military mentality.

This article explores the possibility of another theory and calls for a panel of investigation into his death to be set up by the Federal Government.
When the Nigerian Civil War veteran and hero, General Muhammadu Shuwa, was killed at his residence in Maiduguri on 2 November 2012, the official narrative implicated Boko Haram. Nobody expected a different version. Yet, many doubted the authenticity of the story. The truth, people believed, will unfold in the course of time.

The doubt stemmed from a number of facts. First, General Shuwa did not have the credentials of would place him on the Boko Haram hit list. Not at all. He has distinguished himself by leading a quiet life among his people, far away from the Government Reserved Areas of Maiduguri, Kaduna, Lagos or Abuja. He lived in the neighbourhood of the less privileged where his relatives and commoners reside. This has enchanted him to everyone in the city. He does not comment on national issues or indulge in our corrupt and self-seeking politics. He does not go about begging Nigerian heads of state, presidents or governors. Like him or hate him, he was the quintessential elder statesman, a rare gem among his peers, many of whom returned from war to milk the country dry and sink it in the bloody sea of disintegrative politics after their enviable war records as champions of its unity. Even on the ongoing Boko Haram insurgency, Shuwa has not uttered a word in public. When all is considered, General Shuwa was one of the most ineligible victims of Boko Haram.

The above could be dismissed as mere speculation by the authorities, but not after his brother shocked the public with graphic details of the scene of his assassination. What invites our minds to abandon the official tale of Boko Haram culpability is the unfortunate role the Nigerian military played - or failed to play - in aiding his assassination: its personnel failed to stop it when they were right there, on its spot. The assassins appeared, only two of them, before the armless old man, unexpectedly, when he was receiving a prayer from a passerby. Shouting Allahu Akbar, they gunned him down and kicked him to confirm that he was dead before walking away, laughing, not shouting Allahu Akbar anymore. His guards – some eight heavily armed soldiers – that were at the scene did not put up any resistance. They stayed put and watched the murder of the master they were sent to protect. Neither did they give the two assassins any chase. It is this dereliction of duty – a deliberate room for allow murder – that made the official narrative of ‘boko haram’ assassins an unpalatable pie to ingest.

It did not take time before Boko Haram denied the charge of killing the General just as the Defence Headquarters was equally quick in denying the complicity of its agents. One question remains unanswered though: why did not the soldiers put any resistance?

After following the activities of Boko Haram since it started its insurgency, I have learnt to concede it one thing: accepting its denial whenever it issues a disclaimer on any operation it did not undertake. Unfortunately, the world is reluctant to accord the Nigerian military the same veracity status because it has earned a notorious reputation of denying even the most obvious. Just last week when Reuters released a video of some Nigerian soldiers executing people on the street, the military spokesman instinctively denied the charge even before watching the video. Nigerian soldiers cannot do that, he said – that is all – and he expects the world to believe him. The people of Maiduguri, like those of Zaki Biam and Odi before them and, indeed, other Nigerians as well, will definitely find it difficult to swallow this claim.

Horrendous things have been reported from Maiduguri in the last two years. Unarmed civilians are trapped in their neighbourhoods and killed by people wearing military uniforms. The military authorities denied carrying out the executions, as they denied the rapes that were reported by foreign media at the debut of their intervention in the conflict. Markets were burnt to ashes by armed men in uniforms. Ordinary citizens are subjected to a constant regime of harassment. Again and always, it is one denial after another from the Joint Task Force and the defence headquarters. Even where accounts were given by human right groups such as Human Rights Watch, the denial never ends.

What the Nigerian military cannot deny is that these atrocities are happening in areas under its effective control and continuous surveillance. All roads leading to General Shuwa’s house have roadblocks manned by Nigerian soldiers. And so is his house to date. (One wonders what the soldiers are still doing there) Yet his assassins could comfortably scale through the roadblocks and kill the general right before the eyes of his military guards, unrestrained by their presence, unconstrained by their guns and superior demography of eight to two – and walk away laughing with impunity.

I think the military authorities and the government should wake up and start exploring other possibilities that could be behind these atrocities, not least the possible involvement of some elements in the military in the death of General Shuwa. This is what many Nigerians are doing. The military can take exceptions to this inquisition only at the peril of totally losing the confidence of the Nigerian public. Given the variegated nature of its cultural composition and its factional history, it is naïve to think that every Nigerian soldier has shed off the garbage of ethnicity and history from his shoulders. They are human, after all. People are therefore asking whether Shuwa was a victim of some kind of vengeance. Does his civil war record leave an enduring bitterness in someone, for instance? They now ask these questions not only because of their sheer possibility but also because of the indifference that his guards showed during his murder.

This strong speculation can only be dismissed after the government has carried out a thorough investigation into his murder, digging out the reasons for the nonchalance of his soldier guards and the identity of the real culprits. Anybody can shout Allahu Akbar as he shoots his victim to confuse his identity with that of Boko Haram, as did the Christian who attempted to burn his church in Calabar last year. Outright denial and pointing an accusing finger at Boko Haram alone will not suffice. It is either a rebuttal – denial backed with convincing evidence – or a revelation of the unalloyed truth. Anything short of that will continue to leave the gates of the rational mind open to all sorts of possibilities, including that of an attack from outside space.

If the armed men that burn markets in Maiduguri, rape women, execute youths before the eyes of their parents in the middle of the night and kill war veterans like Shuwa are neither Nigerian soldiers nor Boko Haram, then could they be aliens from a neighbouring country – as Governor Jang often claim in his state – or some creatures from outside space? And who can save us from their wrath other than the Nigerian military? But the same military was at the spot where Shuwa was killed and its boys declined to put up any fight.

It is not uncommon to find people expressing the view that Boko Haram or a part of its dimensions is nothing but an orchestration to destroy the North – its people and its economy. The circumstances of Shuwa’s death will definitely add fuel to the fire of this conspiracy theory. Only a full investigation by a body independent of the Nigerian military will discount it.@@@ Panel of Investigation.

In view of the above, I would like to raise two points in the concluding part of this article. One, there is the need for the federal government to investigate the death of General Shuwa. A panel should be set up under the chairmanship of a prudent, unbiased personality. Its members should include, among others, officials of the Borno State government, Borno Emirate Council, Borno Council of Elders, a representative of civil society and a veteran of the Civil War. This is a call that should be heard loudly coming from other civil war veterans, members of the Borno Elders Forum, the Arewa Consultative Forum and every champion of social justice.

This matter must not be left in the hands of the defence headquarters. The military has already given its outcome that many of us are not satisfied with. It is hard to see it revoking that verdict and issuing a new ruling on the case. Since its personnel were involved – through negligence or connivance – the military as an institution has a case to answer before the panel. Government must not allow it to be a judge in its own cause.

This investigation will not be of benefit to the relations of Shuwa alone. It is likely to unravel the identity of the mysterious soldiers who commit other atrocities in Borno and Yobe States that involved many innocent but less privileged Nigerians than Shuwa. The Nigerian military may also find the report important to its operations against Boko Haram.

General Shuwa is dead. May God forgive him! The other point is that I would not like to accuse him of naivety at this moment when our prayer is all he needs. But I will dare suggest so for the benefit of others. A war for a general does not end with peace but with his death.

With the death of Shuwa under questionable circumstances, we are challenged to review his status vis-à-vis his military career: Was he a hero of the war for Nigerian unity or its latest victim or both? Some would say he lived as a war hero and might have died as its victim forty-four years later.

The controversy may never end until the truth is told. And the truth will always surface no matter how long it takes. We remain patient.

Yuguda, the Bauchi State governor, deserves to be on Guinness Book of Record for being the first known governor in the entire world to dismiss a civil servant over sharing a post on Facebook. This inglorious record was set on Monday 19 November, when Abbas who was until then on suspension formally received a termination letter from the office of the Head of Service. The letter read thus:

TERMINATION OF APPOINTMENT

I am directed to refer to the civil service commission's letter No. CSC/PRO/S/001/ T.V dated 1st November 2012 to convey the commission's approval of your suspension and termination of appointment from Bauchi State Service with effect from 10th October, 2012 as your service is no longer required, please.
Signed
Ibrahim shehu
For: Head of Service.

The letter was expected given the vindictive nature of the regime, which, surprisingly, came to power partly as a result of the Yuguda's tales of victimization in the hands of his bosom friend and predecessor, Muazu. But it didn't take much time before the world came to know who is more quickly given to vendetta between the two.

From the content of the letter, it appears that the government is trying to avoid controversy. Thus it failed to provide any reason for the termination other than the mere expression of discretion to keep or fire Abbas. It is however questionable whether under our civil service rules a termination can be slammed at any civil servant without resort to due process.

Instead, he was gagged and kept under police detention for ten days before he was granted a bail by the court. The filing of his case before the court was itself dubious as it violated every letter and spirit of the penal code regarding defamation. It was, therefore, easy for the Nigerian Bar Association to throw spanners into the charges and the case was summarily terminated. Having failed in the courts, the administration is resorting to impunity and arbitrariness. Neither in court nor before the committee he appeared did anyone requested Abbas to provide any evidence to support the allegations on the post he copied from another page and shared. In law, such evidence provides a complete defense in any case of defamation.

Bauchi State government is a public body that can be challenged before the appropriate court of law if it violates the rules that govern its operations. The attorneys of Abbas should explore the possibility of appeal. Doing so will greatly leap the cause of justice.

The irony is that I have never seen where the government denied the allegations of corruption labelled against the governor in the Facebook post as the happenings are common knowledge in Bauchi. Neither did it challenge Abbas to provide any evidence. The world, however, will one day know who is telling the truth: Facebook or Yuguda. We are not in a hurry.

I will still reiterate the advice I once gave to my brother Yuguda. He should shun injustice and vendetta. They are characteristics of a weak leader than cannot tolerate criticism. One expects that a person that will victimize someone for a simple Facebook posting will be strong enough to face Boko Haram. But Yuguda simply walked away from its threat to kill him and literally abandoned Bauchi for a hideout in Abuja. This is very much unlike Fulani. I hope he listens this time. It is just two years left before everything becomes history. Many before have come to Bauchi and left.

As for Abbas, I will advise him to remain patient and steadfast. He should follow his case to its logical conclusion. As he does so, I hope the public will support him by expressing its sympathy and encouragement.

Bauchi State governor victimizes civil servant.
A civil servant in Bauchi State who made a facebook post questioning the financial integrity of the StateGovernor has been dismissed.
Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State ordered the dismissal of Abbas Faggo over a facebook comment in which he accused the governor of corruption.
A letter terminating Mr. Faggo’s appointment and signed by one Ibrahim Shehu for the Head of Service of the State, said his appointment was terminated “because his services are no longer needed”.
The termination of the appointment took effect from October 10 this year when he wasfirst suspended.
Mr. Faggo’s troubles started whenhe accused the governor of monumental fraud and corruption, questioning the source of funding of the governor’s son’s wedding which took place recently.
Mr. Faggo had been arraigned by the Police before the Chief Magistrate of the state for the same offence.
However, the Chief Magistrate, Adamu Madaki, on Friday November16, struck out the case against Mr. Faggo because “it was not properly filed.”
Below is the content of Mr. Faggo’s dismissal letter:
TERMINATION OF APPOINTMENT
I am directed to refer to the civil service commission’s letter No.

Below is the controversial Facebook post which angered the governor, and for which Mr. Faggowas arrested, detained and arraigned in court for allegedly defaming the Mr. Yuguda’s character.
“Those of us resident in Abuja, arewitnessing yet another Bauchi wedding, this time we understand is the Governor’s son that is hooking the one-time PDP’s Chairmanship aspirant’s daughter. Inside sources said, already:
“Top officials of the Min. for Local Govt, along with the ALGON Bauchi State chapter are asking the 20 LGA’s to sign out N2m each as donation for the wedding next Saturday of the Gov’s son. They awarded contract for calendars and note pads to an Abuja printingpress. Contract for coffee mugs, Wall clocks, bags, badges etc. was given to a Lagos based lady. They will all carry the pictures of the groom and the bride. An SUV Jeep was also suggested as a wedding present to Ango. Finally the 20 LGA chairmen will all send their wives to Abj where the jamboree is taking place because Yuguda is now Abuja based.
“The story is all over town too, that in April $80,000 was sent to the ango on his graduation by the SSG, on the orders of the Gov. This is as a result of request by the groom to buy a limited edition M/Benz Series.
“In Nov, 2009, when the Gov latest wife, also acquired thru Bauchi funds, was having her first child in Washington DC the sum of £150,000 was sent to the SSG by the then Accountant General for onward transmission to Yuguda. One wonders, why all this, as he has 21 kids from 3 wives earlier and all of them born in Nigeria. The thinking is that he is using Bauchi state money for the purchase of citizenship thru birth, for his latest2 kids in the USA. Already a house has since been purchased for Yuguda in Maryland through a once upon a time VOA staff, aide of his.
“These things are happening in a state where staff salaries are becoming very difficult to pay and inevitable retrenchment is looming day in day out. God save Bauchi State.”

According to him, Overtime will gulp, N250,455,589; Feeding of animals including animal supplements for the veterinary clinic (N30,584,144); Summit/ Extra ordinary sessions including the UN, African Union, ECOWAS, etc (N228,112,862); and NYSC, IT, LOCUM, Housemanship and contract staff allowance (N144,788,555).

According to Ogbile: “I have taken pains to explain that this money is not just to fund the residence of the President and that of the Vice President. The experience I have had is that this fund is grossly insufficient. It is not even enough"

That huge amount of money on feeding animals and for refreshment when people are dying of hunger and you want us to believe we have hope in this banana republic, those animals you are feeding with our money will later turn you leaders to their prey (amen). shameless people learn from the president of uruguay. Rubbish!!!

sir, could you show us receipt of payments or bank draft to buttress your claims? or you are just displaying the effect of drinking mud water soaked in a used menstrual pad?

whatever this toad smoked must be so strong to think digging out more lies in desperation to bury his initial high stories will help him out. I'm here and will keep on exposing you.

** A brief line for other nairalanders. **

Over that last decade there was a serious marginalization of bauchi state indigenes in securing admission to study medicine and surgery, pharmacy and other health related courses. The demand for doctors and pharmacists kept on raising which was one of the reasons the then governor gave automatic employment to anyone that want to work with the state government.

Unijos, Abu Zaria, BUK and University of maiduguri were the only hope and last resorts that normally consider students from that state without stiff neck but, the game changer came when NECO started dishing out unbelievable grades which then made more students to over qualify for these choiced courses; thus making every university a battle ground for the mighty. This marginalization went on for a while to the extent that the former governor had to bribed BUK by building a hostel costing the state hundred of millions just to consider students from the state.

The other options left for the state government was to either sponsor their students abroad to study medicine and surgery or lobby the federal government to grant their own university license to establish school of medicine. The then governor did more by sending handful of students to some less expensive countries like Morocco, Egypt and Tunisia while simultaneously pressuring and lobbying the FG and NUC to allow ATBU ( Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University) offer medicine and surgery related courses, which is the only way of having more state trained doctors at affordable cost.

During one of the NUC supervision, they demanded for a teaching hospital, which was one of the main criteria for granting license to any school that wishes to offer medicine and surgery or have school of medical sciences, the governor quickly replied by saying on a short term base, they are going to upgrade the state specialist hospital and converts it to teaching hospital while working on a world class hospital and facility suitable for research, treatment and learning. I could vividly remember the explosive noise that roared throughout the entire state when the news first broke out that indeed the much anticipated license has been granted.

The most annoying thing here is this incumbent governor didn't, I REPEAT was not part of those that struggled for this landmark achievements, yet this mongrel is here trying to paint a dark picture to satisfy his wickedness. Only a demon from the pit of hell will post such a topic that the state governor sold the only hospital to make way for a graveyard. The last time I checked, land for cemetery or graveyard can never be an issue to state like bauchi with massive unproductive desert.

All the aforementioned took place while the former governor was on seat. The present governor came in and met all arrangements to that effect on ground and fully matured.

Nice deduction! I can see you are good in extracting information from google but you failed to include the link you got your cooked up stories from. I now understand what an asshole you can be. It is possible that people get carried away by emotion. But sycophants wear their emotion on their sleeves and use it for personal gains.

The northern Nigerian State of Bauchi appears reeling from an unending tailspin of financial administrative maladies that have plagued the Yuguda administration from the inception of the administration in 2007.

Information available to 247ureports.com through a source within the government house in Bauchi State reveals that while the state government battles financial insolvency, the state governor, Malam Isa Yuguda has embarked on a N2.5billion project for the construction of his private mansion.

The Governor of Bauchi, Malam Isa Yuguda, according to a principal source within the Yuguda administration, had purchased two units of land area from the government of Bauchi State at the piece of N1million each–two years ago. The land was purchased at a heavily discounted rate. Real estate speculators pegged the actual land price to be magnitudes higher.

Governor Isa Yuguda, shortly following the purchase of the property, moved to demolish the structures standing at the property. He began erecting 6-unit structures at each of the land area–one for his private use and the other for the use of his children.

Both complexes are described as luxurious edifices and are located along Sir Ibrahim road inside Bauchi metropolis. The Governor is said to be erecting both complexes against the end of his governorship tenure in 2015.

According to the source, the two complexes are value at a minimum N2.5billion – with the governor private complex valued at N2billion while that of his children is valued at N500million. The construction work at the two sites is presently ongoing.

It is noteworthy that the Bauchi State treasury appears regularly in the red– steadily running a monthly overdrawn balance of N300million for the State’s main account housed at FCMB in Bauchi.

Independent inquiry carried out by 247ureports.com revealed that the financial squalor within the Bauchi State administration may arouse the inquisitive attention of the economicand financial crimes commission [EFCC]. As learnt, the main bank accounts of the Bauchi government are said to be drawn down immediately following each payment of monthly allocation from the federal government.

“Within days of payment into the State accounts, it is drawn down to messily N1million”, confirmed a source who continued to add the state government withdraws the monies to pay for loans and bonds Yuguda took during his first tenure as governor. It was learnt that the Yuguda administration has, as a result, turned its attention to federal funds allocated to the local government areas [LGA] for monies to run the government. It was gathered that out of the average N80million received monthly by the various LGAs, only N5mllion left with the LGA while the remainder is housed by the Yuguda administration.

In talking to the Yuguda administration, through the Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Michaels, they confirmed that the governor was indeed erecting a complex at the said location. Mr. Michaels however denied that the complexes were worth the alleged amount. The Chief Press Secretary recalled that the Governor had been in top executive positions at two major banks prior to his accession to the seat of Governor.

“The Man, Isa Yuguda can afford to build his home without help” said the chief press secretary who went to state that the issue was a private matter that should be left alone.
