Saraki meeting in france

The Saraki and Dogara Meeting In France By Bamidele Ademola Olateju The information filtered in immediately Dogara got to London. I was told he will be meeting with Atiku and they are up to no good. My laser was focused on Atiku and word got to me that he was in Dubai at the time. Sources in the Gulf States were contacted and they confirmed his stay. We kept tabs on him. He stayed in Dubai and did not leave. Dogara went to Dorchester Hotel to meet the Zamfara governor. While we were on Atiku watch, Saraki crept into Paris and he met with Dogara. I was alerted but it was too late to deploy. Dogara did not alert the embassy. They wanted their clandestine meeting under wraps but hey, we will always know. Here is the plan: Buhari must NOT have a second term An Atiku/Fayemi ticket An El-Rufai/Fashola ticket Destruction of Magu Attacks must begin on Obasanjo from their new and social media platforms Deliberate sabotage from within to make Buhari unelectable The batt...

UN-say Nigeria is the poorest country of the world.

UN report says Nigeria is one of the poorest and most unequal countries in the world The United Nations, UN, has painted a gloomy picture of Nigeria in a recently released report, saying the country is one of the poorest and most unequal in the world. The report, Nigeria’s Common Country Analysis, CCA, read out during a consultative meeting of the UN Development Assistance Framework IV, UNDAF IV, for the South East in Akwa, the Anambra State capital, also said the country is deeply divided along ethnic, regional and religious lines. The report equally said the divisions have largely defined political existence in the country while development and social indices are said to be at unacceptable levels. Below is the report in part: “Nigeria, with a population of over 75 million, is the most populous nation in Africa and the seventh most populous in the world. Her population will be approximately 200 million by 2019 and over 400 million by 2050, becoming one of the top...

Remark by president Obama At G20 summit

Remarks by President Obama and President Erdogan of Turkey After Bilateral Meeting at G20 Summit PRESIDENT OBAMA: This is the first opportunity that I’ve had to meet face to face with President Erdogan since the terrible attempted coup that took place in July. By taking to the streets to resist the coup attempt, the Turkish people once again affirmed their commitment to democracy, and the strength and resilience of the democratic institutions inside of Turkey. I indicated at the time the unequivocal condemnation of these actions, and spoke personally to President Erdogan to offer any support that we might be able to provide in both ending the attempted coup, but also in investigating and bringing the perpetrators of these illegal actions to justice. And I’ve assured him that our Justice Department and my national security team will continue to cooperate with Turkish authorities to determine how we can make sure that those who carried out these activities are brou...

China Transcript at G20 summit

Transcript @G20 Summit, China: Prime Minister Theresa May's press conference – 5 September 2016 It has been an opportunity to showcase Britain as a bold, outward-looking nation. We are the fifth largest economy in the world – the second fastest growing major economy in the world last year. We are ranked in the top 6 countries in the world as a place to do business. We have record employment. And the deficit has been cut by almost two-thirds since its peak in 2010. So we can be confident about the fundamental strengths of the UK economy and optimistic about the role we will forge for the UK – building on our strength as a great trading nation – in the future. And here in Hangzhou, I have had the chance to talk to other leaders about the role that the United Kingdom will play to advance free trade, to make sure the world’s economies work for everyone, and to confront the global challenges of terrorism and migration. Let me say a few words on each. Trade First...

Angola President fire finance minister

Angolan president fires finance minister over economic slump José Eduardo dos Santos, president of Angola, has fired Armando Manuel, the country’s finance minister, following a slump in the country’s economic situation stemming from crashed crude oil prices. The sack, which was announced on Monday, come two months after the Angolan government pulled out of talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) over emergency funding. A statement quoted by Reuters said Manuel, who was appointed in 2013 and whose term had been due to run to 2017, would be replaced by Archer Mangueira, capital markets commission head. Over the last two years, Manuel had presided over an economic slump caused by a sharp drop in oil prices that sapped dollar inflows, hammered the kwanza — the Angolan currency — and led heavy government borrowing. Like Angola, Nigeria has also been hit by the plunge in crude oil prices and a rapid depreciation of the local currency. The kwanza slid more...

State of osun Oshogbo

Osun and Its Investment In Education, By Ademola Adesola ‘No nation goes bankrupt educating its people’ – Confucius. The epigraph to this piece by the Chinese philosopher, Confucius, speaks appositely to the significance of education in the development of a country. His view correctly implies that investment in education will always yield the highest dividends. If quality investment in education produces the highest dividends, it is incontestable that a country which invests hugely and consistently, and substantially, and not symbolically, in education cannot become bankrupt. In any case, human beings remain the surest agencies of development. If their capacities are purposefully enriched, meaningfully enhanced, and consistently improved, they will creatively initiate workable ideas and contribute considerably in driving the multifarious engines of sustainable socioeconomic development. Education, for any society which privileges and prioritises it, becomes the s...

Event after, mack zuckerberg and politics.

Mark Zuckerberg, Nigeria’s Youth and the Politics of Things, By Toyosi Akerele-Ogunsiji This for me is a season of mixed feelings. For once, I think our public sector leaders and a few young Nigerians should swap roles, positions, offices and responsibilities for some months for the good measure of service, work ethic, effectiveness, vision and leadership. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, 32, worth over 40 billion dollars visited Lagos last week, walked on the streets of Yaba without any pomp and circumstance, knelt behind children to see how they were writing codes at Co-creation Hub and visited only businesses and ventures run by young people. The sterling efforts of our youth excited and attracted Mark to our country. He could sense the potentials of Nigeria’s tech sector, and didn’t just visit our country for a taste of Jollof rice and shrimps, but to explore and consolidate his ties and relationship with the next big thing within the world tech business s...

My letter to the youths.

MY LETTER TO THE YOUTHS OUR LEADERS HAS DONE IT WELL   This is a great project our leaders has done irrespective of their Political Parties, Religion or Ethnic group, the have collectively achieve these great project. I don't know if that was what was handed over to them by the their predecessors in likes of Obafemi Awolowo, Murtala Mohammed, Aminu Kano, Nnamdi Azikwe, Tafawa Balewa, Adekunle Ajasin and many more of them but I know that is what they handing over to us.           I sat down and flash back to my University days when the zeal for politics started, I remembered how I, Ibinaiye Anthony Milar and other comrades in CDHR do sit down, talk and agree on a particular struggle which we will collectively execute but now diversity in opinion and interest has separated us from the same target.      I remembered how it was in NASS when Olupona Oluspecial Olugbode Ayomikun Emmanuel Fawale Olayinka Semileniola Fawilous Samuel Abiodun G...

Buhari ordered arrest.

Buhari orders arrest of food aid thieves Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered police to arrest government officials accused of stealing food aid intended for victims of Boko Haram in northeast Nigeria. Garba Shehu, President Buhari’s spokesman gave this indication on Thursday. “The president has asked the Inspector General of the police to catch some of these alleged thieves, to look out for them and make public examples of them,” Shehu, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation by phone. The Nigerian Senate last week launched an investigation into allegations of food aid being stolen and sold by state officials in Borno state, where aid agencies have warned of starvation, malnutrition and dwindling food supplies for the displaced. Public outcry was sparked in April when photos posted on social media appeared to show food aid on sale in shops. The items had logos of aid agencies, leading many to believe they had been diverted by state officials in camps for...

Starvation: Nigeria’s Internally Displaced Persons As President Buhari

Starvation: Nigeria’s Internally Displaced Persons As President Buhari’s Frankenstein Monster By Kayode Ogundamisi Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote is reported to have donated over 11 million USD to Nigeria’s internally displaced persons (IDPs). The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation also donated 1 million dollars. International donors channel funds by donating millions of dollars to Nigerian agencies and government, in addition to the billions of naira officially budgeted by the Nigerian government and its agencies, yet we continue to receive photographs of malnourished IDPs, mostly children. Nigeria’s IDPs have not crossed a border to find safety. Unlike refugees, they are on the run at home. While they may have fled for similar reasons, IDPs stay within their own country and remain under the protection of its government, even if that government is the reason for their displacement. As a result, these people are among the most vulnerable in the world. The recen...

Understanding your ancestors.

Interesting must read. I had to share. Understanding the Egungun (Revered Ancestors). 1.  Where do the Egungun live? The Yoruba do not have a "heaven" that the dead roam around in and chat to each other as in the Christian myth.  Such a place is completely superstitious. The Yoruba word "orun" does not equate to heaven but just means the spiritual realm.  It is not a "place" but a part of the dual aspect of the one world which is a union of the physical and spiritual. In IFA:when a person dies, they don't go to a "heaven" but their spirit lives on thru you.  They literally live in your blood.  A part of their spirit eventually finds another genetic relative to reincarnate thru via the blood/DNA.  This is the SCIENTIFIC understanding of the egungun as the spiritual aspect of your physical DNA. 2.  How do the Egungun help us? For those of you Christianized thinkers waiting on a spook savior, you should know that the Egungun do not m...

Address's by the minister of power, babatunde raji fashola

ADDRESS DELIVERED BY HONOURABLE MINISTER OF POWER, WORKS AND HOUSING, BABATUNDE RAJI FASHOLA, SAN AT THE 5TH NATIONAL COUNCIL ON LANDS, HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, HELD IN ILORIN, KWARA STATE, ON THURSDAY AUGUST 25, 2016 Ladies and Gentlemen: I would start this address by expressing the gratitude of the Federal Government to the government and people of Kwara State for accepting to host this annual council of Lands, Housing and Urban Development. His Excellency, Mr. Abdulfatah Ahmed and members of his government especially the Commissioner for Housing and Urban Development, Hon. Muideen Alalade have been wonderful hosts by all accounts against the odds. Indeed, it is against the odds. This is because there was every excuse to avoid some of the expenses, no matter how little, that hosting this event have demanded. This is because of the competing demands for increasingly hard to earn income amidst the various needs that state and local governments have to fund. B...

Don't spoil APC chance.

Ondo: Delegates camping damaging, don’t spoil APC chances – Ariyomo warns other aspirants By Wale Odunsi An All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship aspirant in Ondo State, Engr. Tunji Light Ariyomo, has appealed to the party not to involve in any form of ‘delegates camping’ ahead of the September 3 primary. He spoke to DAILY POST in reaction to an alarm raised by another aspirant of the party, Dr Olusegun Abraham. Abraham, while featuring on a live radio station programme in Akure, alleged that some aspirants scheming to win APC ticket had camped the delegates in an area. Abraham said: “These delegates who never knew the intention of the desperate aspirants, went for the meeting, only to be confined and never allowed to go home.” But sounding a note of warning, Ariyomo told our correspondent that: “Delegate camping is a vestige of the locust days of the PDP where money and only money decided preferences. “There must be a departure from that experience.

President buhari has nailed it again

THE PRESIDENT KILLED AND NAILED IT! "And with advertised impunity, those given trusts betrayed them, those given public offices abused them; and majority of those given guardianship over any matter of significance compromised their positions. It has become so bad that it is looking as if there are hardly any honest people left. At the same time, the culture of hypocrisy has also been perfected. "Everybody, including those perpetrating fraud, complain, as if the fraudulent practices that exist are committed by extra-terrestrials from outer space. Yet this society, that is complaining is the one that should be squarely blamed. No other society to my knowledge tolerates such outrage, while our own positively encourages it. "Nowhere else in the world can one find a society tolerating the theft of its precious resources in broad daylight with nothing happening to the thieves. A day in office, as far as the general public is concerned, often means eight hours of converting...

Only qualified teacher will be permitted to practice.

ONLY QUALIFIED, REGISTERED TEACHERS WILL BE ALLOWED TO PRACTICE —MINISTER AUGUST 29, 2016 / : MINISTER of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, has said only qualified teachers, who are duly registered, would be allowed to teach in the country to ensure professionalism. Adamu said this while briefing newsman on the sidelines on the presentation of a draft roadmap, tagged “Education for Change: A Ministerial Strategic Plan 2016-2019’’ to education stakeholders, in Abuja, on Monday. He said the teaching profession had declined and there was the need to ensure professionalism to improve the quality of education. “Teacher education itself is dying simply because non-professionals have now become teachers. “Therefore, the professionalisation and registration of teachers will help make sure that the profession is reorganised with quacks kicked out. “So, nobody should be employed as a teacher if he or she does not have a teaching qualification; there is no magic if you are n...

Must do after Nysc

7 things Every NYSC Corper should do after POP. I understand the excitement that goes with passing out of service. In fact, you are so excited, you want the whole world to know. A lot of people show this by sharing their POP pictures and NYSC Certificates on social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, BBM etc. You won't have to go for the CDS again, no more khaki trousers, no more of those heavy orange boots, and for some, no more issues with your LI and so on and so forth. You just can't wait to pick your NYSC Certificate and run!. The Big question is, run to where? The truth is, it's tougher out there in the Nigerian Labour Market. Ask your seniors. As a Corper, at least you had a monthly income. But after POP, if not retained at your work place, many of you will go incomeless (if there's a word like that) and hop into the world of job search. The bad news is: Nobody really cares about you. It's cold and rough out there and that's not funny. The good...

The avengers

Niger Delta Avengers Writes Open Letter to President Buhari Nigerian militant group, the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, has written an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, declaring a ceasefire. The group also warned Buhari against authorizing operation CROCODILE SMILE in the area by the army. We call on President Muhammadu Buhari to put away the garb of a stooge to the imperialists, whenever he speaks outside Nigeria. We have listened carefully and halted hostilities in the Niger Delta; we expect a genuine and positive attitude to restructuring and self-determination for every component unit of Nigeria. Dear president, what makes those countries (Japan, Germany, France, USA, Britain etc.) great is the ability of their governments to accommodate internal protestations and conflicts for the greater good of their nations over the years. Please stop presenting your government as pawn to the web of military industrialists complex, whenever you leave the shores of Nige...

Letter to President buhari

Open Letter To President Buhari By Cardinal Anthony Okogie Dear Mr. President, Last year, when you assumed office, the chant of “Change,” your campaign slogan, ushered you into the Presidential Villa. Today, cries of “hunger” could be heard across the length and breadth of our vast country. Nigerians hunger, not only for food, but also for good leadership, for peace, security, and justice. This letter is to appeal to you to do something fast, and, if you are already doing something, to redouble your effort. May it not be written on the pages of history that Nigerians die of starvation under your watch. As President, you are the chief servant of the nation. I, therefore, urge you to live up to the huge expectation of millions of Nigerians. A stitch in time saves nine. This is the second year of your administration. You and your party promised to lead the masses to the Promised Land. It is not an easy task to lead. But by campaigning for this office, you offered to...

Cocaine killed Stella son not tooth paste.

Chidozie Nduka Okafor Emmanuel wrote Stella Oduah’s First Son Maxwell Chinedu Etoromi Dies Of Cocaine Drug Overdose In Abuja – Insider Exposes Late Aviation Minister HOW COCAINE DRUG ADDICTION KILLED STELLA ODUAH'S SON IN ABUJA. Former aviation minister, Stella Oduah is currently mourning the death of her first child, Etoromi Chinedu who passed away at the age of 28 at a private hospital in Abuja yesterday. Though it was initially reported that Chinedu died of fake drug overdose, an insider however said it was a cover up for the young man who reportedly lived a reckless life in his lifetime. The source said Chinedu’s battle with Cocaine started when he was 22 and that his mother didn’t realise until he turned 26, a problem she hid from the preying eyes of the public till she lost him. Chinedu popularly called Max by friends returned to Abuja last year after graduating from a college in the United Kingdom from where he continued making friends with “bad guys”. At ...

Black magic

There is no such thing like black or white magic,it was a diminutive attempt by racist to classify magic and a eurocentric point of view. Black in all sense is purity... And magic in all sense is natural Same craft different approach. Magic is energy. Energy has no intentions or direction of its own, so it cannot be black (meaning evil)" or white (meaning good). Much like electricity is energy. Electricity is used by people for many good, helpful purposes - heating & lighting your home, cooking your food, and powering your computer where you can access all kinds of information on the internet. But if electricity is mishandled or misused, it can cause serious damage to property, harm to a person or even death. But when someone gets electrocuted, nobody says, "that was black electricity". Energy cannot decide for itself how it is used by people. So color coding the energy or labeling it good or evil is a misnomer. Credited to: OGUNTIMEHIN IBITAYO. O
