President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday said those accusing him of backing Boko Haram are insane during his campaign rally in Yola, the Adamawa State capital. Jonathan said that he had no reason to sponsor the killing of children, women and the aged as he had nothing to benefit from such deleterious actions. “In 2011, I had two times the number of votes I had in Bayelsa State. Why should I want to reduce that number of votes?” Jonathan quipped. “Only a mad person can insinuate that the president is supporting Boko Haram.”

Pics: Buhari & His Team Enjoy Breakfast Before Lagos Rally Today

APC presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari and his Team are in Lagos for the presidential campaign rallies and they were pictured having breakfast this morning.

The Nigerian Nation Against General Buhari, By Wole Soyinka

 
This intervention has been provoked, not so much by the ambitions of General Buhari to return to power at the head of a democratic Nigeria, as by declarations of support from directions that leave one totally dumbfounded. It would appear that some, myself among them, had been overcomplacent about the magnitude of an ambition that seemed as preposterous as the late effort of General Ibrahim Babangida to aspire yet again to the honour of presiding over a society that truly seeks a democratic future. What one had dismissed was a rash of illusions, brought about by other political improbabilities that surround us, however, is being given an air of plausibility by individuals and groupings to which one had earlier attributed a sense of relevance of historic actualities.

Omonigho Abraham, the 4 year old boy who was violently attacked by dogs owned by a neighbour in his family home in Lagos, returned from India alongside his dad yesterday January 29th after a successful operation in the country. Omo had been in India since late last year.

Omo's dad praised the doctors in India for the successful completion of the operation, thanking God for ensuring that his son can now live a normal life. He also appreciated the Lagos State Government for their help in LASUTH, all the NGOs that got involved and the media for the attention given to his son.

APC has something for Nigerians: This Is What You Will Get

ACTNOW RE: BUHARI VS. JONATHAN: BEYOND THE ELECTION BY PROF. SOLUDO
The above titled piece by Prof. Chuwuma Soludo to us is highly welcome at a time like this when those who should know would be doing Nigeria a great injustice by keeping quiet. Any advice given by the former CBN governor, ought to be given critical attention by any serious minded party.

This piece is to first, appreciate the depth of thought the author has put in, to particularly wake Nigerians up to the reality of the quagmire the PDP government has placed this nation particularly in the last five years. As a former Chief Economic Adviser to the President and later CBN governor Prof. Soludo surely knows what he is talking about.

On our part as a party that is determined to reverse the nation from the march to self-destruction we have taken a long and hard look at most of the issues raised by the erudite professor and we have penned down credible and workable answers to the issues raised...

While not denying the nobility and originality of our ideas for change, the writer only assumed that with the current state of the badly battered public finance, our party when elected into power would not be able to fulfil its promises. This opinion need not be criticised but to be provided with honest answers since its manifest intent and purpose is to engender qualitative debate and not strife.

Looks like President Jonathan doesn't trust Ribadu again

Nuhu Ribadu is laughing out loud, but Mr President is keeping a funny straight face. Is everything ok?

EXPOSED: How AIT forged Fake Proof against Buhari

African Independent Television (AIT), had alleged that their Online presidential opinion poll was compromised in favor of the presidential candidate of the APC, Muhammadu Buhari, hence they stopped the poll.

But the Executive Director of Nigeria's Paradigm Initiative and popular IT consultant Gbenga Sesan, conducted an investigation of the file and discovered that AIT forged the documents, allegedly crafting fake IP addresses to support their claims.

Sesan tweeted: "What AIT won’t tell you about the CSV file shared with other media houses, along with their statement, is that it’s easy to edit columns... I challenge AIT to release the CSV file with all erring IP addresses, and let’s trace those IPs to see where they lead."

Below are the revelations that exposed AIT's fake proof against Buhari:

APC candidate, David Umoru, Declared Winner of Niger East Senatorial Election

The National Assembly election Tribunal sitting in Minna, Niger State, has nullified the election of Dr Shem Nuhu Zagbayi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last Niger East by-election and has ordered that David Umar of All Progressives Congress (APC) be returned as the duely elected Senator for Niger East senatorial district of Niger State.

Justice Ibrahim Bako gave the ruling on Friday in the state capital causing wild jubilation in the town.

Facebook & Instagram hacked, went down Worldwide for over an hour on Tuesday

Imagine a world without Facebook and Instagram…We experienced it yesterday morning and it was crazy all over the world. Maybe, you didn’t notice that Facebook and Instagram was hacked yesterday morning around 6am GMT.

The online group Lizard Squad have claimed responsibility for the hack, which took the two social media sites down at around 6am GMT.
Both sites, which have a total of 1.5billion users, appeared with error messages in the United States, Europe and Asia for around an hour.

But despite hackers claiming they took the social media giants offline, Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook, which also owns Instagram, refused to say what the fault was.


There were claims online that the super-snowstorm that is over America’s east coast may have knocked out its servers
The social media blackout also affected the dating mobile app Tinder, as well as AOL Instant Messenger and Hipchat.
While it was down Facebook said they were ‘aware’ of trouble accessing the site and added: ‘We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible.’

I’m good enough to be Nigeria’s President - Davido

Davido might have gotten a little carried away with all the awards and other accolades he has received in his very successful career. During a 45 second speech for MTV Base’s Choose or Lose Vox Pop – the outspoken Davido for an unknown reason spoke about some of the things he’ll do if he becomes Nigeria’s president:

“Yes I’m voting, I want my voice to be heard, there’s no point in complaining if you are not going to vote. “I think I’m good enough to be president, because it’s me, I want to be the president. I’ll fix all the bad roads, I’ll fix up the currency of course, and different other things, as much as I can do in a day I’ll do.”

Here Is The Real Goodluck Jonathan

by ENDS: While the Nigerian presidential campaign committee, led by the notorious Femi Fani-Kayode has released an nonfactual documentary that embarrasses journalism and media production in Nigeria and attempts to distort Nigeria's better parts of history to the present and future generations; we have produced the first in a set of fact based videos of the outstanding documentary, "The Real Goodluck Jonathan."

The Real Goodluck Jonathan video series helps to draw up an accurate representation of the best and not so good of the current presidency and enables Nigerians appreciate the point in time where the country is now to best determine how to steer their future.

Buhari, The Answer To Our Prayers

The government of Goodluck Jonathan is the most vivid example we have of the virus of lost standard. Under his watch, the country has gone to the dogs. Government officials are massively squandering our patrimony and looting the treasury with impunity.  It is so hard to work up any optimism because the president is simply not interested in fighting corruption. In this precious country of ours, Corruption is not only internalized but externalized.

People steal and keep outside thereby destroying our country and enriching those of other nations. This is a dispiriting take on the Nigerian situation because if this satanic corruption continues, Nigeria is doomed to speedy disappearance. We have had a long run of ill-luck in leadership that we cannot take this anymore.

Hence, the choice of General Muhammadu Buhari by the All Progressive Congress (APC) is historic, courageous and potentially transformative.  This man is about the most honest Nigerian of all time. He is a man who hates greed and corruption with a passion. 

Here's APC reaction to the documentary against Buhari on AIT

A lot is being said about the documentary on AIT that painted General Muhammadu Buhari black. But what are the facts and what should be the issues in this campaign? More from El-Rufai below:

Zahra Buhari Back On Twitter, Accuses PDP Of Hacking Into Her Twitter Account (See Tweets)

Zahra, the daughter of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has accused the Peoples Democratic Party of hacking into her Twitter account.

On her Twitter handle, she said the ruling party used somebody to gain an unlawful access into her account to post a grammatical blunder aimed at embarrassing her.

The aspiring first daughter, who now has a new account, said she was shocked that the PDP could stoop so low to gain a political advantage.

She said, “The PDP had someone hack into my Twitter account to post a grammatical blunder. This is so uncalled-for.

“Even if I tweeted a grammatical blunder, I didn’t say ‘There is God o’ like our First Lady said.”

She, however, did not give further details to buttress the allegation.

She had previously frowned on the actions of the party, saying Nigerians were no longer ready to tolerate its excesses.

Since her comeback, Zahra’s fans are pouring in by the second to reconnect with her on the new account – @ZahraBuhari. She has also become more active on the medium.

Introducing the account, she told her fans, “I am as lovely as my father’s lovely heart.”

The United Kingdom-based undergraduate, who shot into limelight earlier in the month when her photographs appeared on the social media, said people “now think I am faking in my own world.”

On Wednesday, she posted a series of tweets, insisting that Nigerians could not continue to endure the pains bad leadership has inflicted on them.

Noting that change was inevitable, she called on individuals to support her father to bring the desired change as the country approaches crucial general elections.

“Change is the only thing that is permanent. We need change.

“If school certificate defines a good president, don’t you think President Jonathan’s PhD ought to have fought insecurity and corruption,” she tweeted.

Zahra also sent photographs of a campaign train of the APC, saying, “This is how far we can go to get a change. Do not watch, make a move and vote for change.”

Zahra’s striking beauty had won her thousands of fans on her now-terminated Twitter handle ­-@zahra3 – following the release of her photographs by bloggers. But the young lady, who has become an instant celebrity, dumped the account, leaving her fans in the limbo.

Shortly before closing her former Twitter account, she had described the debate on the whereabouts of her father’s certificates as a “misplaced priority.”

Amid her soaring fame, some people had however warned that her sudden celebrity was a bad publicity for Buhari.

For instance, Arikor Ogonnaya argued that her overnight celebrity status would do her father more bad than good.

He also suggested that the fame she was getting was an indication that her father would not achieve the “change” he desires for the country.

“Your father is someone who has been hailed throughout the media as a spotless saviour; a sinless messiah and a guiltless saint. His ‘change’ mantra says so. For somebody who is vigorously trying to so ‘change’ Nigeria as he claims, his first port of call should be our attitudes, lifestyle and mentality. Having his daughter’s picture trending on Twitter isn’t the best way to begin such change.

“Politics, as you know it in ‘oyinboland’, has a totally different meaning in Nigeria. Here, politics is really ‘politicks’ translating into ‘poli’ –many, and ‘ticks’ – blood-sucking insects. Well, having your picture trending on social media is such a great avenue,” Ogonnaya noted.

New Facts Show President Jonathan’s Age Falsification

 

New facts emerging are putting into dispute the official age given by the President of Nigeria on his public service documents.

Accounts from the president himself and others who dare to provide information suggest that contrary to his stated age—being born on November 20, 1957; the president was born several, perhaps 10 years earlier and is over 60 years old.

President Jonathan said in 2011 while giving his Christmas Carol address:

Agbaje’s Firm Owes N1.6m Land Use Charge – Fashola

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has said Jaykay Pharmacy Limited, owned by the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party owes the Lagos State Government about N1.6m land use charge.

According to him, the land use charge, which the company should have remitted to the office of the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service, had accrued for four consecutive years.

Speaking at the 8th Annual Lagos State Taxation Stakeholders Conference on Wednesday, Fashola said the free education and free health care provided for Lagos residents were funded from the tax.

The governor said, “Jaykay Pharmacy has not paid land use charge for 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. It paid in 2013 and 2014. It owes this government N1, 629, 064.62. How many books will it have bought in the schools? How many drugs will it have provided in the hospital? I will advise you that you avoid inexperience. I will advise you that you avoid experiment.”

More details later

The Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday restrained five telecoms firms from suspending All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign fund-raising platform. Justice Ibrahim Buba made the ex-parte order following the party’s motion. The judge made an order of interim injunction restraining Etisalat, MTN, Glo, Airtel and Visafone from giving effect to a directive by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) which warned them against running political promotions that will portray them as being partisan. The judge ordered the telecoms firms “to continue to run, operate and/or restore to its full operative use the SMS Code platform 35350 created for fund-raising for the applicant’s presidential campaign.” The orders are to subsist pending the hearing and determination of APC’s originating motion on notice. The court also granted APC leave to serve the originating motion on notice and other processes on NCC (the first defendant) outside the court’s jurisdiction. APC said the platform is to operate till February 12 when campaign activities for the presidential election will end in line with Electoral Act and the election time-table. In the originating motion, APC is demanding N25billion damages from the defendants for violating the fundamental rights of the party and its members. It said since the platform was suspended, it has been unable to disseminate or receive information from its supporters via the SMS code 35350. The party said while the platform was suspended, NCC has allowed that of President Goodluck Jonathan to run seamlessly. The party said it created a “premium SMS code 35350″ through which willing donors could contribute to its presidential campaign fund. Within hours of its creation, APC said it was getting about five messages of N100 each every minute. A total of 5,400 messages were received, it said. However, NCC in a January 19 letter, directed all telecoms service providers “to avoid running political advertisements that will portray them as being partisan.” NCC said it would “not hesitate to sanction any service provider that will flout this directive.” As a result, the telecoms firms suspended the platform. However, APC said political parties have been using several media platforms to advertise, with none accused of being partisan.

See The Many 'SINS' of President Goodluck Jonathan

by Abraham Ogbodo
The APC camp is unrelenting. It has decided that come rain or shine, the 72-year old ex-general must make Aso Rock on May 29. A certificate or something that approximates that has been shown to put paid to debates on whether or not the party’s flag bearer in the February 14 presidential election is educated to a level of becoming Nigeria’s president.

In effect, all things being equal, it has been agreed that Buhari is good enough in all measurements to preside over Nigeria, the most populous and biggest economy in Africa, otherwise known as Giant of Africa in the 21st century. There is little more to add. Some people are saying it is in order to try a school certificate holder or school certificate attempted and a grand old man since the PhD holder and the young man that has been running for six good years has performed below installed capacity.

Jonathan himself is the cause of these wild speculations. There is a saying in Yoruba that the hawk will lose its essence if it fails to catch chicken. 

Go and Open the "Gates of Hell” and See What We Will Do –– APC tells Oyedepo

All Progressive Congress has responded via twitter that they are eagerly waiting to change Nigeria because the country is already in hell. Their tweet is in response to counter a statement allegedly credited to Bishop David Oyedepo of Winners Chapel, during President Goodluck Jonathan’s visit to his church on Sunday January 25, 2015.

An APC lieutenant replied the multi-billionaire cleric that he should open the gates of hell:

“Go and open the gates of hell…We will enter there and use PVCs to CHANGE the padlock and lock you inside- APC Supporters”

Fayose Beware, the man you wish dead may attend your burial

Written by Wole Olaoye
The ink had barely dried on my article, “Jonathan as hostage”, last week when undiscerning newspapers published a scandalous piece of trash authored and sponsored by Ayodele Fayose, the stomach-infrastructural political technician who occupies the Government House in Ekiti State.
For a man whose HND polytechnic certificate has been mired in controversy for years, and whose first tenure as governor was rife with massive scandals, the ruling PDP dug really deep into their political cesspit to exhume Fayose and unleash him on the people a second time.

As I write this, Ekiti State is the only section of the federation where the House of Assembly is run by the minority; where judges have been physically assaulted; where violence is an official policy of state; where the governor is not ashamed to advertise his use of money to pervert the social order.

Obasanjo replies Bishop Oyedepo over 'Gate of Hell' comment?

Since the alleged statement credited to Bishop David Oyedepo that he would open the gates of hell for those against President Goodluck Jonathan or his government hit the net, there has been many reactions.

But one is standing out, and it is allegedly coming from Baba himself, ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo. He was said to have replied Bishop Oyedepo and cautioned him against such partisan prayers.

Obasanjo through his twitter handle on Monday said that no pastor could tell Nigerians who to vote:

“We all want #CHANGE. Vote based on what you know not on reli­gious or tribal sentiments! No one has the key to hell! Don’t be threatened!"

“Has Bishop Oyede­po spoken out to condemn the legalised looting of Billions of Dollars taking place under the watch of President Jonathan?"

“Did Bishop Oyedepo condemn the failure of the President to rescue the Chibok girls 9 months after they were kidnapped by the insurgents?

“Did Bishop Oyedepo speak out to condemn the manner in which the almost 300 Chibok girls were kid­napped?

Nigeria now a failed state under Jonathan – Prof David-West

A former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Prof. Tam David-West, on Tuesday described Nigeria as a failed state. Speaking at a news conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, he said that any government that could not protect its citizens was nothing but a failed government.

“We have a failed state in Nigeria today. I have been reading what is happening in Rivers State. Any government that cannot protect its citizens is not worth being called a government.

“I stand for a government that knows that 19 is bigger than 16. I stand for a party that I know will bring light to the darkness in Nigeria. I stand for a party of people of substance both in words and in character,” he said.

The professor of virology expressed his support for Governor Rotimi Amaechi and any party that would bring light over the country’s current darkness.
