Serious Stealing of Public Money Ongoing in NNPC ! ––Amaechi Opens Up

Rivers State governor and chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Rotimi Amaechi has alleged that there is ongoing stealing of public funds from the coffers of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

This is as he declared that despite the decrease in funds allocated to states from the federation account, the State government is not broke and wont go borrowing to pay salaries of civil servants in the state.
The governor said, “The fact that our oil wells have been given to Bayelsa, in Soku and Abia, in Etche, it will naturally bring down our revenue. But beyond that is the stealing going on in NNPC. The president is talking about oil theft; what quantity of oil can they steal that will bring down revenue from N25 billion to N12 billion? So, the stealing is more in NNPC.
“This magazine online rated our President as the 6th richest president in Africa and he is denying it. They are not a gossip magazine, it is what they see that they present to the public. This is the first time someone is denying his ranking in the magazine. People are saying I am abusing the president, I have never abused him. The only thing is that I state the facts the way they are. It was published that our president is the 6th richest African President, it is not Amaechi.

Linda Ikeji, the Haters and Hounds !

I've always known that Linda's Blog is coming back, hence I stayed away from the saga. But I started seeing the real danger we face online when a guy sent me a mail saying OluFamous.Com is the next site to go down if I don't pay them $5,000. Who told them am next to Linda? I started active blogging on June 1, 2013, just over a year ago; Linda has been blogging for 8years. Can you see the difference?

Pls, leave us alone; open a blog, work hard and make your money. Simple! Read Dr Brimah below:
Linda Ikeji affects us all; just like the Premier league (hope that’s how it’s spelt), enough Nigerians are engaged in the LIB for those who may not, to know and appreciate that being the #2 indigenous website in Nigeria – second to Nairaland only – and the #1 news site and #1 African indigenous personality blog in history, our friends are most likely fans and addicts of hers and thus it serves as a primary means by which they are informed and we are influenced if we happen not to be readers.
The summary of the challenge that took her down (temporarily) is this tweet by a certain figure who suddenly appeared from obscurity.
"People still don't get it, this Linda issue is not about credit, it is about seeking permission before usage. Plain and simple."
The above comment was tweeted by Mr. Aye Dee on October 6th, two days after his twitter page came into existence (October 4th).
For the media publishing that the problem is Linda not giving him credit; you are wrong...
Perhaps she has in the past been attacked for not giving credit, but not so in this case, at least according to the man at the helm of it. He wanted more from Linda. He wanted her to ask him first before using anything on his TL (Time Line). He can sue me now for posting this comment he made. Yes; that’s what he goes after.

It is a problem. Am I guilty of this type of “plagiarism?” yes I am. I have posted comments and pictures from people’s TL’s giving them credit but not asking them for permission first. Do I intend to start seeking permission first? H’ no. Sue me. I can’t waste the time emailing you and waiting for your response. By that time the news will be expired. It is simply ridiculous except where the person has explicitly stated that “no copying my stuff;” like Punch, shall I leave it be. Else I will copy and post in good faith and with credit given.

It can be recalled that recently, in December of 2013, PremiumTimes called out all major Nigerian dallies for plagiarism. All the flagship dailies were accused of publishing an Obasanjo letter that PremiumTimes claimed to have been the exclusive recipients of. [See: Obasanjo’s letter exposes Nigerian newspapers ethical flaws] These respected dailies did not even attribute the letter to PremiumTimes; but yet PremiumTimes was mature about it and only publicly embarrassed them for not crediting them with the story.

In the attack against the LIB, I see hate, envy, jealousy and desperation. I am not her greatest fan, but I call it as I see it. Her accuser claims to run “15 Past 8” media. He was unknown till this episode that has given him a taste of “fame.” His media is clearly the owner of “9jalife.com” another unknown website; as can be seen on both sites. On 9jalife.com there are tons of images; the images you and I know. Those images we pull off of websites, that have been pulled off of other websites so many times we don’t know who really owns them and never bothered to find out.

I challenge Mr. Aye Dee, owner of 9jalife.com to prove to us and some of us who own the tons of images on 9jalife.com that he requested and received the right to use the images.

You see, I would appreciate if a person of character brings a hard working Nigerian down; who clearly earned her respect and position; but when a desperado throws the tire to mob lynch a commoner, I am irritated. Be a man, throw tires on Goodluck, on Diezani. The crooks who have stolen our entire human rights and our billions (USD) for our survival. Sue the Nigerian government who have stolen our pride and global respect… who have stolen the lives of thousands of our loved ones and who have gotten our daughters abducted for 160 days to be raped by their “siblings” agents of their politician, clergy and military partners. But no; rather you hound a hard working respected Nigerian who earned most of what she has and claim to be Mr. Righteous? These are the Nigerians who the tires on Aluu4 because they made some errors, then walked to receive a bag of rice and voted-in indicted criminal Fayose.

Mr. Aye Dee whose real name is Mukhtar Dan’Iyan according to his PremiumTimes interview is also associated with a certain Emmanuel Efremov has been proven the registerer of the domain name, “LindaIkeji.net.” I checked the whois to confirm this. This is cybersquatting and a crime. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybersquatting

After stuff got exposed, they quickly redirected Lindaikeji.net to Linda’s blog to cover their utility of her name over the years to make change.

In the PremiumTimes exclusive interview he was accorded for Lord knows what reasons, he admitted that the so-called Mr. Emmanuel Efremov was a director of his 15 Past 8 “media.” So Mr. Aye Dee’s directors are potentially criminal cybersquatters who live off of the good fortune of hard working people like the very Linda Ikeji; making earnings from advert clicks they get from people who miss their road while searching for the Linda they “hate’ so much’s blog.

I have a job for Mr. Aye Dee and Mr. Emmanuel Efremov. If you are not already working for the Presidency… I bet Goodluck Jonathan would be happy to hire them. They totally fit the Reuben Abati; Reno Omokri; Doyin Okupe profile of shameless, crooked and lying do-anything-to-make-it hounds.

Plagiarism and copyright theft is serious; but it is as serious to protect those accused as the accuser and deserves credible claims and claimants.

Now report me.

Pastor takes female member for Abortion after Impregnating her ?

If parents can no longer trust their teenage daughters with their pastors, then what kind of society are we running here? I guess folks who have no business in the clergy are getting in by hook or crook. How sad!

As you read this, a pastor in Enugu State has been arrested by the Police for allegedly impregnating a female member of his ministry and went a step further to force the girl to abort the pregnancy.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the alleged crime committed by the Pastor, said:
“A pastor in charge of Hospital Chapel Ministry located at Obollo Eke in Udenu LGA of Enugu State and identified as Pastor Friday Onuh has said that he never impregnated one Miss Favour Onah and took her to a patent medicine dealer to abort the baby as alleged by the parents of the girl.
“The pastor had allegedly impregnated the girl, a worshipper in his church and took her to a patent medicine dealer at Ikem in Isiuzo Local Government Area of the state.
“It was reported that severe complications resulted from the abortion and that she is currently lying ill at a hospital.”
Pastor Friday Onuh is currently under investigation.

I Will Defend RichestLifestyle’s Claims about Jonathan’s Wealth !

A global magazine, RichestLifestyle.com recently published that the President of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is the 6th wealthiest African head of State. The magazine claimed that Goodluck Jonathan, known for his claim of having no shoes, now had a whooping 100 Million dollars estimated to his name.

In response, the Nigerian President threatened as published in the Vanguard of Wednesday 8th October, that all of us who re-broadcast that assertion should either retract it or be prepared to face him in court. Quoted:

“The clear and unacceptable imputation of the claim that President Jonathan is now worth about $100 Million is that the President has corruptly enriched himself while in office which is certainly not the case. We therefore demand a retraction and an unreserved apology from Richest Lifestyle.com and all those who have reproduced the offensive article. Otherwise, they should be prepared to substantiate their libelous claims against the President in courts of law within and outside Nigeria.”
 I hereby categorically provide myself and the ENDS organization ready to defend all those who re-broadcast and re-published this information. We stand ready to face President Goodluck Jonathan in court and ready to substantiate the claims against his amassed wealth...

Finally, China overtakes America as World’s Largest Economy

According to the International Monetary Fund, IMF, China has overtaken the United States as the world’s largest economy. The IMF estimates that the size of the US economy is $17.4tr, while the Chinese economy comes in at $17.6tr, Business Insider reports. China’s share of the global economy is 16.48 per cent, while the United States accounts for 16.28 per cent, the IMF said Tuesday as part of its outlook for the world economic growth.
These figures are adjusted for the relative costs of living in both countries, known as “purchasing power parity.”
In 2005, Chinese economy was less than half the size of US economy. Today, the story has changed.

Why Jonathan may Lose As Incumbent President in 2015 ?

For those who are upbeat about the chances of the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan winning re-election if he decides to run, I have bad news for them. The President may not only lose in 2015, he could lose by a landslide even with the incumbency factor perceived to be in his favour. Let’s even consider a massive defeat of an incumbent impossibility; he could still be edged out by a narrow margin.
Indeed all evidence point to the first shocking defeat of an incumbent in a presidential election in the country. For the first time ever, it seems the incumbency effect may not matter. While I acknowledge the usual arguments about the incumbent advantage; 2015 may yet prove to be an exception.

Why do I think so? If the supporters of the President can just sit back and remove the scale of sycophancy from their eyes and honestly assess the situation in the country, they will see that in a free and fair election, the President does not stand a chance. I think they may be in for a rude shock.
Those who fancy an easy win for Jonathan may have failed to appreciate the enormity of the challenges stacked against his re-election...

Another $5.7m Arms Cash seized in SA?

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to urgently address Nigerians on the serial embarrassments to which his administration is subjecting the country in the comity of nations, after another seizure of $5.7 million of Nigerian arms money by the South African authorities.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the issues surrounding the first seizure of $9.3 million have yet to be resolved before this latest scandal, wondering why the government would want to turn Nigeria to a rogue nation by taking ownership of money laundering and other acts of illegality, thus devaluing the currency of every Nigerian.
"Again, Mr. President, Nigerians are urging you to please come clean over these cash-for-arms scandals. They want you to answer critical questions on the legality of your administration's repeated conduct. Nigerians want to know the identities of the two Nigerians who were arrested with an Israeli in South Africa over the first illegal deal, especially since the Israeli has been named.

Abubakar Shekau: Nine Lives or Nine Liars ?

So long as the Francophone media is bent on dragging Nigeria to its begging knees, Shekau will never die. The controversy on the death of Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau is one that is entirely manufactured by Globalist media. It is nothing less than media terrorism by the desperate colonialists. But these globalist media cannot be solely blamed. It is us who have Boko Haram sponsors in the Presidency and as our army Chiefs after all.

Protected, supported and paid with billions. We have no credibility and as long as this nation keeps such clueless and adamantly wicked men at its helm, the globalist media will continue to disgrace and terrorize us and will keep Shekau immortal.

The globalist media has stubbornly insisted on denying the fact that we have killed two of the very Shekaus they have themselves shown in videos as the actual person.
 They pretend not to notice the very different people who all impersonate Shekau in the many videos they release as a singular person, but when we kill these very people they just publicized then they say it wasn’t him and push out the next available video of another of his impersonators, gleefully, as soon as Boko Haram

I’m considering whether to Seek Re-election or Not! ––Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday harped on the platform provided by the Eid-El-Kabir celebration to inform Nigerians of certain considerations he had been grappling with before yielding to calls by some Nigerians to either contest the 2015 presidential election or withdraw for National interest.
He thanked “the many individuals, stakeholders, groups, associations, non-governmental organizations, unions and political leaders from across the country” who, according to him “have, in recognition and appreciation of our efforts and commitment to repositioning our dear nation for more rapid growth and development, urged me to seek a second term in office.”
He however added that: “In deciding on an appropriate response to such calls, I will place the greater interests of national harmony, cohesion, unity, security, political stability, progress, equity, justice and fairness above any personal ambition or sectional agenda.”

Boko Haram killings has nothing do with Religion ! ––Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan has said that the killing of innocent children and women in markets, mosques, and schools has nothing to do with religion. He said this when members of the Muslim community visited him in commemoration of the Eid-Kabir Sallah on Saturday.

The delegation was led by the Vice President, Namadi Sambo, alongside the Minister of State for the FCT, Mrs. Olajumoke Akindele.

Jonathan, who said Nigerians should see their neighbours as themselves, added that:
“What is happening globally now has no religious basis. Only yesterday, a British aid worker was slaughtered by ISIS and that is not Islamic.
“I believe in this country, I believe that Nigeria has a lot to offer not only to Nigerians but to the world and that surely we will get to where we want to go.
“Whatever obstacles we see are very ephemeral and part of history of nation building, if you read the history of all nations, there is no nation that does not pass through some challenges but they got over it and moved ahead. I think we are getting over our problems.”

Ladies, The Craze for Body Magic and Wonder Bra !

Written by Etcetera
Those women who wear simple and proper undergarments, this article is not about you. It is for those women who are confused and concerned and are leaning toward spending their hard-earned money on a magic garment that is being peddled as if it can solve all that ail them, only to be sorely disappointed.

Every eight seconds, a woman looks in the mirror and wants to be smaller. I have a huge problem with this type of women. Whenever I meet people who pretend to be what they are not, it gets under my skin. When you present yourself as something, you’re asking me to trust you are exactly what you say you are. Why would you then abuse the trust you asked for with the goal of winning my heart? That is not fair.
A friend of mine introduced me to a very hot chic at a bar in Ikeja and after hours of hanging out and getting to know each other, she followed me home. All I could think about was what she’d look like under all those tight clothes, but when she finally grunted her way out of those really tight jeans and her body began to spread in all directions, I suddenly had a headache and didn’t feel so well and I gave her cab fare home...

How Beheaded Air Force Pilot killed 63 Boko Haram members ?

Friends and colleagues of Wing Commander Chimda Hedima, who was reportedly beheaded by Boko Haram, have given a vivid account of how the Air Force pilot spent his last days.

Hedima, who was showered with praises by thousands of Nigerians on Saturday, reportedly kept a dignified composure in the face of death in the hands of Abubakar Shekau and his heartless boys.

Hedima’s colleagues on different social media on Saturday said the gallant man, who was born in 1975, crashed the aircraft into an area where Boko Haram militants were and killed at least 63 of the insurgents. On the Facebook page of the Nigerian Army Support Group, his friends wrote:
“It is with deep regret that we announce the death of a true Nigerian hero, Wing Commander Chimda Hedima. This man was a hero of the highest order.

THE CURRENT STATE OF NIGERIA! by Eze Chukwuemeka Eze

The wise King Solomon rightly posits that, “When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan” (Proverb 29:2). It goes without saying that Nigerians are groaning day and night under the wicked rule they are being subjected to through a government that has abdicated its responsibility to the people, and in every way possible shows the wickedness of its reign.

To say that Nigeria is currently at the cross roads – confused and not knowing what tomorrow portends, occasioned by the visionless and misguided leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the centre – is to say that appropriate words to describe the state of our nation under an uncaring and corrupt government can’t be found. Today, we have a government that cannot protect or guarantee our security as contained in the Constitution. Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka recently stated that Nigeria practises ‘Government of Impunity.’ And, according to Dr Peregrino Brimah, Nigeria occupies the first position in the ranking of nations with the worst governments in history. He pointed to a report from the World Bank in April which listed Nigeria among the five poorest countries in the world, with the largest number of people said to live on less than $1.25 a day. The others are India, China, Bangladesh and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

President Goodluck Jonathan instead of addressing the issue on poverty as raised casually dismissed the report by saying: “Nigeria is not a poor country.”

The rebasing of Nigeria’s economy, setting Nigeria as the largest economy in Africa, while revealing the true economic position of Africa’s largest nation, simultaneously re-certified Nigeria as the nation in the top position for worst leadership in social welfare and opportunities for the people...
With 70 per cent of the nation’s population living under a-dollar-a-day; economically factored, Nigeria has the poorest people of any nation in the world today. With the rebased economy rating, Nigeria has unparalleled HDI (Human Development Index) to revenue and economy ratio of all nations. Poorest people, in the case of Nigeria, are derived from or correlate with poorest leadership.

Is it not surprising that Nigeria, at the end of 2013, surpassed Mexico in kidnapping, recording the cruelest and second highest single abduction events in recent history? By the end of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, Nigeria surpassed Syria, Libya, Iraq and Central Africa Republic (CAR) in deadly acts of terrorism and sectarian violence. The Nyanya bombing was ranked the fifth worst bombing of its kind in world history, post-1970, by the Mineta Transportation Institute (MTI). The Jos bombing, with over 200 reported dead in one attack, is second only to 9/11 and the disputed Syria chemical weapons attack.
According to the report, “In combined values, with about 80,000 people killed in four years of largely unchecked Boko Haram violence, and with over 4,000 killed in the first quarter of 2014 alone, Nigeria has fast outpaced other nations of the world in deadly terror. Nigeria’s leadership in December 2013 secured the world’s top position rating in insecurity and failure to protect life, and discourage terror. Current rankings put Nigeria’s leadership second only to Hitler, after surpassing Saddam Hussein, in the current century, in terms of deliberate internal wastage of life.”


A recent report on global life expectancy by the World Health Organisation (WHO) has rated Nigeria low in its report titled, “World Health Statistics 2014”, and published few months ago. According to that publication, life expectancy for both men and women is less than 55 years in nine sub-Saharan African countries, namely: Nigeria, Angola, Central Africa Republic, Chad, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lesotho, Mozambique and Sierra Leone. The yearly report is the definitive source of information on the health of the world’s people. It contains data from 194 countries on a range of mortality, disease and health system indicators, including life expectancy, illnesses and deaths from key diseases, health services and treatments; financial investment in health, as well as risk factors and behaviours that affect health.

Speaking at an event in New York City, Mrs. Hillary Clinton, former U.S. Secretary of State, said the Nigerian government under President Goodluck Jonathan squandered its oil resources, and indirectly helps corruption to fester in the troubled country. Her words: “They have squandered their oil wealth; they have allowed corruption to fester, and now they are losing control of parts of their (own) territory because they would not make hard choices.” The former U.S. Secretary of State at the function organised by the International Crisis Group also noted: “The Nigerian government has failed to confront the threat, or to address the underlying challenges. Most of all, the government of Nigeria needs to get serious about protecting all of its citizens, and ensuring that every child has the right and opportunity to go to school.”

That is not all, according to Sarah Seawall, U.S. Under Secretary of State, “Corruption prevents supplies as basic as bullets and transport vehicles from reaching the front lines of the struggle against Boko Haram.” Back home, former president, Gen Olusegun Obasanjo, in his assessment of Jonathan’s performance in office posited: “I don’t believe he has performed to the expectation of many Nigerians, not just me.” While U.S. Senator John McCain, in his view, submits that Nigerians don’t even have a government in the right sense: “We shouldn’t have waited for a practically non-existent government to give us the go-ahead before mounting a humanitarian effort to rescue those girls. Mr. Jonathan, who leads a corrupt government that has little credibility, initially played down the group's threat and claimed security forces were in control. It wasn’t until Sunday, more than two weeks after the kidnappings, that he called a meeting of government officials.” (New York Times).

To worsen the nation’s situation, President Jonathan has proven himself as incapable of running this country as his six years of administration have been most disastrous to the country. Our hospitals have become more of a consulting and mortuary centres; our federal roads are now death traps, after billions of naira had been budged and wasted and looted. We have an elected Government that hates democracy, but prefers ‘lootcracy’! Under this administration, the civil war years can be described as haven, as Nigerians are killed in droves today, without any solution at sight! Under this administration, Nigerians are so divided in both tribal and religious matters! Salaries of civil servants are not paid! Graduates are produced in millions yearly without any plan of employment for them. Instead of allowing these unfortunate graduates to live in peace, they are being defrauded by government agencies, while a good number has lost their lives in their search for nonexistent jobs! We now have a government of deceit, which major achievement is making our nation a laughing stock before the international community.

A government that has succeeded in making us a mockery before the international community and African leaders; which major achievements are trumatising and transforming the nation into darkness as well as digitalising corruption to such a level where a whopping sum of $10 million can be said to have developed wings, and unaccounted for.

The latest in the series of global ridicule to which the scandal-prone Jonathan Administration has subjected Nigeria to is the recent impounding of a whopping sum of $9.3 million cash, against every norm of international transaction; allegedly for the purchase of arms by the President Jonathan government. The South Africa Government is currently investigating the shameful act, alleging that this is just a monetary laundering exercise.

My good friend, Hon Nebukadineze Adiele, while commenting on this latest scandal stated: “Notwithstanding whatever excuses that Nigeria is making today, the transporting of $9.3 million into South Africa alone is a criminal act of money laundering. It violated the various monetary policies of the entire world: it violated currency laws in Nigeria, South Africa, U.S. (it is its currency), and any nation whose airspace was passed as the money moved. That the money was for illegal arms purchase is another violation of the laws of the entire world. It violated almost every anti-arms trafficking laws of Nigeria, South Africa, and all the nation's whose airspace was entered throughout the journey. It was also a violation of any international treaty entered into by Nigeria, with respect to arms control or illegal trafficking in arms. Through this transaction, Nigeria has disgraced itself and President Jonathan has (once more) brought his incompetence to the international stage.”

Capturing the present state of our nation under the present administration of President Jonathan aptly, Senator David Mark, most successful president of the upper chamber, affirmed that Nigeria is at war. His words: “The escalation of violence and the heinous crimes daily perpetrated by insurgents and terrorists, including the declaration of a Caliphate, has reached alarming proportions. Regrettably, the Boko Haram sect, these harbingers of death, have become more emboldened and daring, killing innocent Nigerians and destroying property at will.

“From abductions, kidnappings and bombings, the situation has now degenerated to capturing and occupying some parts of Nigeria. In what is obviously intended to humiliate us as a sovereign nation and test our resolve, the terrorists have brazenly hoisted their flags to confirm their assault and affront on our collective will as a nation. The Boko Haram sect has in no unmistakable terms declared a total war on Nigeria and Nigerians. Their ideology is alien to our culture.”

But sadly, after few days Senator Mark made this remarkable statement, he was among the shameless PDP leadership that nominated President Jonathan, who has demonstrated incompetence as a hobby, to fly the PDP flag during the 2015 general election. So, who is deceiving who?

Ironically, Nigeria is certainly more divided under this (democratically elected) administration than ever. And only Divine intervention can enable us survive the visionless and clueless leadership that now pervades our nation. Speaker, House of Representatives, Hon Aminu Tambuwal, last Thursday, observed that Nigeria was moving backwards, saying: “There was never a time the nation passed through the challenges it is currently facing, especially in terms of insecurity, corruption and other vices that have been on the increase in this country.”

For leading Nigeria to its present comatose state, one cannot be far from the truth if one says that President Goodluck Jonathan is a colossal failure, in terms of his leadership style.

Notwithstanding the foregoing woes backed by facts and figures, a notorious group that calls itself Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN), which I prefer to call Tragic Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN), led by a notorious subsidy thief, and made up of scammers, rouges, vampires, vultures, scavengers, looters, plunderers – all seeking the continued ruination of Nigeria by the most corrupt and inept regime that has ever infested Nigeria, headed by clueless President Jonathan in order to continue the looting spree and impunity associated with this administration.

Correcting the Abnormality Caused By GEJ Over PDP’s Zoning
The fact remains that the founding fathers of PDP in their wisdom, enacted in its constitution with a Gentleman’s Agreement, that power should rotate between the predominantly Muslim North and Christian South every two terms. General Olusegun Obasanjo, from the southern part of Nigeria benefitted from this arrangement for eight years (1999 to 2007). The 2007 presidential election witnessed power shifting to the North, but after the death of President Umar Yar’Adua, a Northern Muslim, then Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan, a Southern Christian, took over as acting president.

The former governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, said he was present at the meeting where Dr Jonathan, then acting governor of Bayelsa State, signed the agreement in 2003 that the North would produce the president between 2007 and 2011; and that Jonathan, who was the deputy governor of Bayelsa State, signed as number 43. But sadly, President Jonathan went ahead to scuttle this policy designed by the founding fathers, by contesting the 2011, which he won. And after spending six years in office by 2015, he is still offering himself to contest the 2015 presidential election, which if he wins, will make him to rule the country for ten years; against the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that stipulates that nobody should rule the country exceeding eight years.

Throwing light on the above, former Governor Abdullahi Adamu, one time National Secretary of PDP’s Board of Trustees (BoT), in a recent media interview, stated that President Jonathan’s running for the 2015 presidential election, is absolutely reneging on an agreement. According to him, at a meeting with party leaders at the Conference Room of the Office of the First Lady, Presidential Villa, the President agreed not to seek re-election, after conceding that it was the turn of the North to produce the president on the platform of the ruling party, following the demise of former President Umaru Yar’Adua. According to him, at the meeting, which he attended in his capacity as the then secretary of the PDP’s BoT, virtually all the PDP governors then were present. The former governor recalled: “I was there. I was the secretary of the Board of Trustees of the party. The president himself was there. Some state governors were there. Samuel Ogbemudia was there. Virtually all the PDP governors were there. Mr. Jonathan would be violating the agreement if he decides to enter the presidential contest, which holds in February next year.”

Undemocratic adoption of President Jonathan for the 2015 elections by the PDP Leadership
In the Guardian News Paper Published on July 29, 2011. President Jonathan, said and l quote “l won't stay in office beyond 2015" Not minding the massive failure in all sectors of our economy, the immorality and the political implication on our nation of President Jonathan contesting the 2015 general elections; the various echelons of PDP Leadership have adopted him as the party’s sole-candidate for the 2015 presidential election. With this development, Nigerians have no option than to rally together and ensure that this evil calculation is not allowed to see the light of the day as extra day after May 29, 2015 with PDP Leadership at the centre will be hellish for all of us.

The son of Nigeria’s First Republic Prime Minister, Dr. Abdul Jhalil Tafawa Balewa, captured the illegality of this plot thus, “What type of democracy do we have? Is the PDP a communist party? Where is the place of internal democracy? What Nigerians need and where they want the country to be in future are paramount issues. We need to put our ideas before the people and allow them to decide”.

Implications of GEJ Contesting the 2015 Poll
Anthony Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie, former Archbishop of Lagos and first president of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and other Nigerian leaders knowing that President Jonathan is an embodiment of failure in leadership have spoken against his third term bid but Dr Umar Ardo, an Adamawa State PDP stakeholder, captured aptly the ineligibility of President Jonathan in the 2015 general election in an open letter to the National Chairman of PDP. He wrote: “Any person of average intellect who read the 1999 Constitution (as amended) along with four key judgments of the Supreme Court (INEC Vs Boni Haruna; Peter Obi Vs Chris Ngige; Ladoja Vs INEC, and INEC Vs 5 PDP Governors), would easily conclude that President Jonathan’s eligibility to contest for another four-year term in 2015, or at any other time thereafter, under the present constitution is impeded. This argument is premised on the fact that what constitutionally applies to the governor on the issue of eligibility or otherwise to contest elections is ipso facto applicable to the president.

“In those judgments, the apex court had established the relationship between the governor and his deputy on the issue of succession (Boni Haruna); determined the holding of office in a term at four years (Peter Obi); affirmed that a governor can stay less but not more than four years in a term (Ladoja); and declared that tenure of the executive in office is a cumulative maximum period of eight years, and not a day longer (five PDP governors). By 29 May 2015, President Jonathan would be five years 23 days as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. If the president contests and wins the 2015 presidential elections or at any other time later, he will exceed the cumulative tenure of eight years maximum period as interpreted by the Supreme Court. Therefore such a contest will be unconstitutional.”

Nothing else will be far from the truth than this truism, but NEC, BoT, and the leadership of PDP are well aware of all these facts. But in demonstration of their hatred for our nation, they are ready to wreck our Constitution, in their drive to achieve the misguided vision and mission of their party.

Options, Way Out of PDP’s Evil Trap
Are Nigerians actually tired of these evil cabals that have hijacked governance in the country? If yes is the answer; how to correct these anomalies associated with the poor leadership of our country by PDP lay in their hands. The fate of our country can only be ratified and put back on track if Nigerians rise and get PDP sacked by 2015. If not, the woes ahead on all of us may not be described. We have done too much talking!

The Next Question: Is APC Leadership Ready to Bail out Nigeria?
All Progressives Congress (APC), to the understanding of some of us, was divinely formed to find solution to the abnormality that PDP has become and the quagmire state we have found ourselves as a nation. If this is the case, the challenge before APC, therefore, is enormous; and Nigerians will hold the leadership responsible should they for any reason fail to rescue our nation from the 16 years of ruination of our country by the inept leadership of PDP Government at the centre.

The Obasanjo Solution
I have read the statement of our statesman and leader, General Olusegun Obasanjo, in his recent reaction to the PDP nomination of President Jonathan as its sole candidate, entitled, “Obasanjo To President Jonathan On Second Term”. He said: “Your word must be your bond.” With respect to Gen Obasanjo, the fact remains that he created the monster in President Jonathan, and should find how to get this puzzle sorted out and save our nation from the doom that awaits her should this man succeed against all odds to be re-elected by 2015

APC Presidential Candidates
One is happy with the no zoning policy adopted by the leadership of the party and with the presidential aspirations of Gen Muhammadu Buhari, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Mr. Sam Nda-Isaiah, Governors Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, Adams Oshimhole of Edo State, Okoroacha of Imo State and Kano Governor Rabiu Kwakwanso, without post-primary crisis. Also, to add Tambuwal’s under the platform of APC; I am sure that any of them can send the present inept leadership of PDP to the cleaners. But the challenge is that should there be any crack in this team, the plans and plots of PDP will easily sail through. In this regard, I wish to appeal that a sort of college be formed among these aspirants; to include our governors and BoT members, to select a candidate from among them, so as to avoid any sort of crack. This will enable us forge a united, virile campaign that will send this enemies of Nigeria out from power. But should any of these candidates, for any reason, decide to break this accord, and PDP succeeds, then we all should wait to see the true President Jonathan.

Conclusion
Many of my friends have come against me asking why I should be postulating this position against a fellow Southerner, but I will take consolation from the stand of the great Irish political philosopher, statesman and the father of conservatism, Edmund Burke, who died in July 9, 1797. He may have had the messy state of our nation in mind when he stated, and I quote: “All that is needed for the forces of evil to succeed is for enough good men to remain silent.”

The point that I have been in the centre of the struggle for a better Nigeria is not in doubt, prompting the penning down of this article. So it will be sad should anybody dare suggest that I was either influenced or motivated in writing this article for any other consideration, if not for patriotic reasons.

The fact remains that should APC loose out in the 2015 general election, but God forbid, the true colour of President Goodluck Jonathan will be revealed to Nigerians. And the heat may be unbearable. The ball is now in your court to do that which is necessary to rescue Nigeria from the imminent doom that awaits her, should we fail in this mission.

Let me; therefore, conclude this thesis by asking you all to listen to what the most outstanding African, both dead and living, Nelson Mandela, said about our present predicament: “It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then, people will appreciate your leadership.”

Son Impregnates his own Mother with Love Portion?

We are living in strange times, of a truth. A 19-year-old boy identified as Abel who was recently promoted to SS3 in one of the secondary schools in Asaba, capital of Delta State, has allegedly put his own mother in the family way after he had a carnal knowledge with her few months ago.

The stupid boy, popularly called Ekenem, was said to have consulted a native doctor, who prepared a love charm for him to use on his mother and one of the matrons in the college where he is a boarding student.

Sources say the act committed by the boy still remains a misery to people in the area.
While crying out over what her son has done to her, the mother said: “I did not know how it all happened, but all I can say is that a young man who looked like my son suddenly found his way into my room at wee hours and I was speechless.”

9ja! A CAN full of Worms; a Country full of Warts!

Before now, he minimally knew about Nigeria other than its name. He befriended no Nigerian aside from the few he stumbled across in his ministerial assignments as a preacher. But in recent times, Joe, my white American friend, has learnt so much about my country and its people that he now believes he is more equipped than a Nigerian Professor of History or any Nigerian alive, about all that is in Nigeria’s past, present, and what will be in the future. That was his confession.

Joe’s acuity about our country’s stories was acquired through Facebook where he is connected to me as friend, and in turn to many others he has never met and may never meet. He follows our arguments about issues and according to him, he laughs his head off reading many of our opinions. Joe summed up Nigeria and Nigerians in this short American Southern sentential submission: “Y’all gat some mess up in there”. He is

Why Must Presidency use Oritsejafor's Private Jet to Buy Arms?

This is the question being asked by Dino Melaye and other well-meaning Nigerians. The Presidential fleet under the control of President Goodluck Jonathan alone has over 10 aircraft. The Nigerian military has many jets. So, how come Nigerian civilians, with the aide of an Israeli, are used to purchase arms in a very suspicious deal? How long have these arms deals been going on? How is Boko Haram getting arms?

There is something HotNaijaGossip.Com will also like to know: 
How come it was a Private Jet that church members bought for EVANGELISM that is now being used in the smuggling of Billions of Naira and buying of Arms? Nigerians deserve the truth. We are not fools!

Pastor Oritsejafor's Jet: South Africa Insists on a Criminal Probe ?

The global security network is watching South Africa closely on how they would handle the illegal arms deal by agents of Nigeria's government who smuggle N1.5bn into their country through a Private jet.

There are strong indications that efforts of the Federal Government to ensure amicable settlement of issues surrounding the $9.3m seized by South Africa have failed.

The South African National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), in an email to Punch on Thursday, said that the matter is still very much under criminal investigations.

Giving an insight into the seizure, it said, “The cash consisted of 90 blocks of $100, 000 each and was found in two black plastic suitcases.” 

The NPA stated that the order freezing the money was granted in terms of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act which “provides that property that is used to commit a crime can be frozen while the NPA applies for a final order to forfeit the money to the state.”

President Zuma Cries: 67 South Africans Died at TB Joshua's Collapsed Building !

If this is true, the more people are still being trapped under the rubble of the collapsed guest house.

President Jacob Zuma said in a statement on Tuesday that 67 South Africans died in the building collapse at Synagogue church and has recorded about 57 deaths and over 130 survivors. The way and manner the building went down is highly suspicious. It is even a miracle that many people came out alive.

President Zuma said: "This is a particularly difficult time for South Africa. Not in the recent history of our country have we had this large number of our people die in one incident outside the country. 

“Our thoughts are with the families, friends and colleagues that have lost their loved ones in this heart-breaking tragedy.  The whole nation shares the pain of the mothers, fathers, daughters and sons who have lost their loved ones. We are all in grief."

Zuma also extended his condolences to Nigeria and all other nations affected by this tragedy.

N1.5b Smuggled for Arms: Jonathan summons Security Chiefs?

President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday held a closed-door meeting with some security chiefs over the $9.3m arms deal that was busted in South Africa. According to Presidency a source, Jonathan demanded “full briefing” on how South African security impounded the cash in the private jet.

South African police said yesterday that it investigating the cash haul – because the money was more than the amount travellers can bring into the country. The cash was found stashed in the luggage of the two Nigerians and the Israeli, Eyal Mesika.

The bags were searched “after customs detected irregularities in the luggage,” and they found money.

“Although various explanations about the money were given...these explanations were flawed and riddled with discrepancies,” said South Africa’s prosecution authority spokesman Nathi Mncube.
