Shame on heartless and wicked APC Governor, Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state

What a shame as APC Governor for Edo state tells a woman, "You are a widow, go and die." The only acceptable apology is for the wicked Oshiomhole to resign his position as the Governor of Edo state. Despite her lamentation as a widow, he ordered his task officers to confiscate the belongings of a weeping and pleading woman who they claimed was ‘caught’ selling items by the roadside.

By Professor Joseph Asike, Dr. JPJ Afamefuna Ifedi, Michael Zebendilos Okpala, Attorney-at-Law,  Arinze Agwuna, Chief Greg Obi.   This is an unequivocal endorsement of our national party, the APGA party, in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Anambra State.   Our position is informed by a strategic view of prevailing party politics and governance approaches, as well as a need to march toward a new era, a new era of civility, service, transparency, accountability, astuteness, and optimum performance in governance.    When the vital principles of government and governance are properly positioned, the quality of human life is improved, the creative energy of individuals is unfettered and the noble mission of a people is fulfilled. Yes, Chief Willie Obiano and his running mate Dr. Nkem Okeke, the current crop of nominees for APGA are the most suitable for Anambra people; they are first rate, and leadership and professional pedigree is their forte. Chief Obiano is a gifted, talent

A touching excerpt from, Why We Struck: The Story Of The First Nigerian Coup ~ by Major Adewale Ademoyega. Page.142-3

"The next most important cause of our failure was the behaviour of Ifeajuna himself. Having seen that Ironsi had got loose and was already raising troops against us, Ifeajuna took Okafor with him and both of  them suddenly disappeared from our midst. This raises the serious question of whether or not there was a common collusion between the two of them, and whether Okafor's failure to arrest the GOC was not a case of deliberate or willful omission. To my mind and to be quite honest, Ifeajuna should have been angry with Okafor the same way that I was angry with him. Then, if Ifeajuna had been faithful to me like I was to him, he should have stuck to me and both of us together would have planned the next line of action. This ought to be the natural course of things because Ifeajuna and I had worked together alone on this Lagos sector project for the previous three months, and more or less to the exclusion of the other majors who were brought in individually as the need for them

Excerpts from the book,-- Class, Ethnicity, and Democracy in Nigeria: The Failure of the First Republic. By Larry Jay Diamond

"Expressions of ethnic antagonism were building to such intensity that even some Northern officials became alarmed, and on 24th March the Sardauna warned against the victimization of non-Northerners living in the Region. But that same day the Kano NA gave more than 2000 traders 48 hours to pack up and leave the Sabon Gari market; Igbo eviction from Ka tsina, Gusau, and Funtua were reported; and only the intervention of the Sardauna prevented a mass eviction in Kano (Mackintosh, 1966 556-7; Nwankwo and Ifejika, 1969: 54).  Perhaps recalling the mass ethnic violence in Kano ten years previously, Igbo leaders became visibly concerned. A delegation of Igbos from Kano, Kaduna and Zaria visited President Azikiwe and asked him to intercede. Praising their restraint in the face of provocation, he urged them to be law-abiding and to seek a judicial remedy. From the Eastern Region, Dr G.C. Mbanugo, Chairman of the NCNC Working Committee there, cabled the Prime Minister asking him to act, ‘

LETTER TO PRESIDENT JONATHAN ON ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY : ~ By Mazi Chuba Obi

Image
Dear President Jonathan  HOW YOU WILL END ELECTRIC POWER OUTAGE IN NIGERIA IN 6 MONTHS, AND WIN A SECOND TERM WITH EASE. There is, Mr president, a gaping hole between the intentions and plans contained in your government’s present electricity generation, transmission, and distribution policy on the one side, and the availability of 24/7 electricity at 240 volts in Nigeria. That gap is simply the absence of a means of providing electricity today as it were, rather than at those hopeful dates we hear announced by the awaited generating companies baring none. Those date ranges go up to 10 years from what we hear in the media, and with no guarantees either. The only element that will certainly fill that gaping hole, and do so in 6 months, based on our research and enquiries, is a change of what we understand to be a deliberate policy that currently disallows State governments and those they appoint, from transmitting and distributing electricity which they generate, direct to end-us

Citing insecurity, Nigeria President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday declared a state of emergency in Borno, (ANPP) Yobe (ANPP) and Adamawa (PDP) states.

Dear compatriots, 1. It has become necessary for me to address you on the recent spate of terrorist activities and protracted security challenges in some parts of the country, particularly in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe, Bauchi, Kano, Plateau and  most recently Bayelsa, Taraba, Benue and Nasarawa states. These unfortunate events have led to needless loss of lives and property of many innocent Nigerians including members of our security forces. 2. The recent killing of security operatives by a cult group in Nasarawa state is particularly condemnable. I have directed that no effort or expense be spared in identifying and bringing to justice all those who had a hand in the killing of the operatives. 3. The activities of insurgents and terrorists have been reprehensible, causing fear among our citizens and a near-breakdown of law and order in parts of the country, especially the North. We have taken robust steps to unravel and address the root causes of these crises, but it would appear t

Pump action vs Bomb explosion. Kidnappers vs suicide bombers. Which way forward for terror group Boko Haram?

Image
Boko Haram is getting amnesty, politicians are getting pardoned. Which criminal enterprise is left in Nigeria to step up their Crime game? The conventional kidnappers menacing the South probably. After realizing that their won't be any 92-99 virgins (lost count) waiting for a sucide bomber in "Islamic heaven", Boko Haram maybe re-inventing themselves by making inroads as the dominant force in the criminal enterprise of kidnapping. It's obvious that if and when they give up bombing, their plan B would be the lucrative criminal business of kidnapping. My satirical Northern source, NahWah Furma Quontri, told me that the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram may be leaning towards giving up bombing and going into the lucrative criminal enterprise of kidnapping, which draws zero world attention unless it involves the kidnapping of expatriates from the oil sector. Speaking of kidnapping and its rewards to criminal elements, BBC News quoting a confidential Reuters source r

Nigeria Police Force Explains ‘Ban on Vehicle Tinted Glass’

Image
                                                                        Written by: CSP FRANK MBA The Police High Command has observed with concern the unnecessary controversies that have trailed the recent IGP’s announcement on the ban on the indiscriminate use of tinted glasses on vehicles plying Nigerian roads. The Force has observed that one of the issues that have generated so much contention and sometimes endless arguments between Police Officers enforcing the ban on the one hand, and motorists on the other hand, is the contention by some vehicle owners that there is no valid law restricting the use of tinted vehicle glasses in Nigeria. Others who claim to be aware of the legal restriction argue that because the tints on their glasses are ‘factory-fitted’, they are under no legal obligation to obtain a permit. Yet, others hinge their arguments and objections on the fact that their car tints are not as dark as others and thus, should be excused from the requirements of obtain
