Economist View on Sanusi’s Suspension, A hard sleep for Jonathan

Jonathan & Sanusi

WHEN President Goodluck Jonathan suspended Lamido Sanusi, the governor of Nigeria’s central bank, on February 20th, he succeeded in removing an opponent. But over the past week it has become clear that this small victory has come at a steep price. Not only has Mr Jonathan signalled his unwillingness to tackle the rampant corruption that is eating away at his country—he has also scared foreign investors and presented an open goal to his political enemies.

Sanusi drags Jonathan to court

After President Jonathan hurriedly dismissed the CBN governor Lamido Sanusi to test his power of meddling on the seat of the highest financial citadel of Nigeria, the Latter have resorted to court to prove him wrong and nullify his ouster from office

"In the application filed on his behalf by his lawyer, Kola Awodein, SAN, Sanusi is asking the court to restrain the President, the Attorney General of the Federation and the Inspector General of Police from giving effect to his purported suspension from office as the CBN governor, pending the determination of the suit.

Yaba college of Technology

Accusations of rampant large scale stealing, double deals, nepotism, the ‘cooking of the books,’ money laundering, collusion, and illegal splitting of contracts, are among just some of the financial hi-jinx, and the subject of a scathing, and shocking, 11 page petition from a high ranking official inside the Yaba College of Technology. Mr. Olu Ibirogba, the Bursar and Chief Financial Officer of the Yaba College of Technology in Lagos, has raised the alarm, and names names, over what he described as “monumental fraud,” on the college’s treasury by the institution’s rector, Dr. Mrs. Margaret Kudirat Ladipo.

The large scale stealing at the institution has gone on for four years, and the report says, has run into tens of millions of naira.

Ejigbo torture suspecs

Ejigbo 3 torture suspects have finally been paraded. The photo shows 10 suspects (Nine men and one woman). The woman is the Iyaloja (market woman leader) and standing second left is the Babaloja (Male market leader) who both allegedly ordered the torture. Below is a press release from the Force Headquarters, Abuja

The Nigeria Police Force has arrested and will soon charge to court twelve (12) suspects connected with the torture of three (3) women at Oba Morufu International Market, Ejigbo, Lagos. Two of the victims who were young girls were arrested along with their mother, tortured and dehumanized by persons who claimed to be members of Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) providing security at the market, and some market association officials who subsequently extorted the sum of fifty thousand naira from the father of the victims in return for their freedom. One of the victims, Juliana Agoma, a national of Republic of Benin, was moved back to Cotonou by her father where she subsequently died allegedly from injuries sustained in the torture.

Goodluck Jonathan

This is what you get when you voted for clown to preside over the affairs of state

Only his Thugs believe anything from this Nigerian most currupt president. Any right thinking human would wonder about the rush to suspension of Sanusi no sooner than the central banker exposed the rot at NNPC and the missing $20 Billion dollars.

This president sees the need to eliminate the whistle blower on corruption within 48 hours of a bogus government sponsored report of lies, prepared by thieves for their commander in thief, yet the same president took over 8 months to sack a confirmed thief Stella Oduah, this same president chose to ignore several reports, including Nuhu Ribadu's report that has been collecting dust under his bed, yet jumped on a bogus report and suspended the whistle blower that is exposing his looting cabal even before the case went to court, what a nuisance with presidential powers.

Ugandan President bows to pressure signs anti gay bill

Yoweri Museveni

After months of refusing to sign the anti-gay bill which Uganda's lawmakers passed in December 2013, President Yoweri Museveni, today succumbed to pressure from within his country and signed the anti-gay bill into law.

He signed the bill at his official residence at Entebbe, near the capital Kampala, in front of govt officials, journalists and a team of Ugandan scientists who found no genetic basis for homosexuality, one of the reasons why he finally consented to signing the bill.

The anti-gay law criminalizes all acts of homosexually in Uganda and calls for first-time homosexual offenders to face a 14 years jail penalty. Continuous Sexual engagement by two homosexuals which involves a minor, disabled person or anyone with HIV AIDS attracts a life sentence.

Randy Night Security man rapes girls returning from vigil

"A security man, Kelly Ochuko, has been accused of raping a 24-year-old lady, Tivere, while she was returning from a vigil at the Synagogue Church of All Nation.

The police said the incident happened around 2am on Mutiatu Street, Ikotun, Lagos State.

It was learnt that the victim had travelled to Lagos from Sapele, Delta State, to participate in the Pastor Temitope Joshua’s midnight programme.

Around 2am, she had left for her lodgings when 27-year-old Ochukwo allegedly accosted her.

The security man, who was employed by the Igando Landlord’s Association to guard the area, reportedly threatened to harm the victim with a cutlass.

She reportedly yielded and followed him into an uncompleted building where the act took place.

Deziani Allison Madueke

Deziani Allison Madueke is feeling fly, why not? She has become the Nigerian symbol of “Touch not my” “My” in this case is Jonathan the most condoning corrupt President of a docile Nigeria.

With the whistle blower Sanusi’s dismissal, all the corrupt birds can fly supported by their sycophants willing to cover their mess with a white apparel

ONLY in Nigeria, $20billion is ‘MISSING’ & Didzeani Madueke is still busy working UNDER President Goodluck Jonathan. She must be VERY GOOD. I did not say Good in Bed

THIEVES AT WORK, DON'T DISTURB by Sam Nda Isaiah

Jonathan & latest Saint Sanusi

With President Goodluck Jonathan, many things we once thought were impossible have become very possible. It’s only under Jonathan that we started spending N2 trillion on fuel subsidy without any significant increase in our population. In his first year in office, the president spent about N2 trillion fuel subsidy even though only N245 billion was appropriated for this. Only in the Nigerian style democracy would this man continue as president two years after this revelation. In decent climes, a president like this would have long been impeached and removed from office by the National Assembly in the national interest.

Tunde Bakare on Sanusi heroism and Jonathan’s many goofs

Pastor Tunde Bakare

"Make no mistake about it, few men have the courage of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. Few men have the aristocratic dignity of a man who time and again, while in public office, raised his voice against profligacy and monetary imprudence especially among the legislators and sometimes among the executive; perhaps, no serving government official has been as outspoken against misgovernace as the suspended CBN Governor,

(Reader, the piece below was addressed to my social media audience on Facebook today in reaction to the Sanusi Lamido Sanusi saga. It stands in for this column today. Forgive the casualness. It's initial audience are regulars on my Facebook Wall and I have deemed modifications unnecessary as it goes to a wider audience here.)
Dis Nigeria sef! You miss a day’s news cycle and you wake up to news that you’ve missed ten lifetimes’ worth of odoriferous higi-hagaric kookaburra (apologies to Patrick Obahiagbon). Yesterday morning, I was ferried from Johannesburg to Pretoria at the instance of Anesh Maistry, Deputy Director, Foreign Service, at South Africa’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to give a talk on the possibilities of cultural diplomacy for Africa. Anesh had heard at the last minute that I was in Johannesburg for a lecture and insisted that I must come to Pretoria for a talk in his fief at the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (alias Foreign Affairs Ministry in Abuja).

Fashola Bans Mini Skirts, Body Clinging dresses among Public servants

Fashola

Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola’s administration has banned indecent dressing among female and male public servants at the Lagos State Government Secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja. All forms of clothes exposing the female breasts and other sensitive female body parts have been banned, because it was getting to rampant and out of hand at various departments.

Chimamanda bombs Nigerian Lawmaker over the folly of Gay Law

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

I will call him Sochukwuma. A thin, smiling boy who liked to play with us girls at the university primary school in Nsukka. We were young. We knew he was different, we said, ‘he’s not like the other boys.’ But his was a benign and unquestioned difference; it was simply what it was. We did not have a name for him. We did not know the word ‘gay.’ He was Sochukwuma and he was friendly and he played oga so well that his side always won.

In secondary school, some boys in his class tried to throw Sochukwuma off a second floor balcony. They were strapping teenagers who had learned to notice, and fear, difference. They had a name for him. Homo. They mocked him because his hips swayed when he walked and his hands fluttered when he spoke. He brushed away their taunts, silently, sometimes grinning an uncomfortable grin. He must have wished that he could be what they wanted him to be. I imagine now how helplessly lonely he must have felt. The boys often asked, “Why can’t he just be like everyone else?”

Deeper Life Bible Church: 40 years after

Pastor W.F Kumuyi

Article By Banji Ojewale

"To be honest, I think we failed (William Folorunsho) Kumuyi when he was so serious about Bible Study—Primate Joseph Abiodun Adetilo-ye (1929-2012)

GOD planted Deeper Life Bible Church and asked William Folorunsho Kumuyi to tend it. Very much like the Edenic story: God organized a garden and put Adam in charge.

The young evangelist and Mathematics lecturer at the University of Lagos insisted that God sent him to deliver nothing but the face value of the Bible he held as his authority. Few people took him seriously.

God broke the deadlock in August 1973 when Kumuyi, still teaching, started a Bible Study Group in his official Flat 2 residence at Unilag. The 15-member team met every Monday under the leadership of William Folorunsho Kumuyi. Here, he sowed the seed of what God has turned into a huge church straddling all of Nigeria and reaching outwards across Africa and to several dozens of nations all over Planet Earth.

Nuhu-Ribadu

“…if I was doing Obasanjo’s bidding, how comes those opposed to him are the ones who asked me to come and run under their platform?”

Nuhu Ribadu worked in the Nigerian Police Force where he rose to become the Chief prosecutor and Head of Legal Unit of the Force. In 2003, he was appointed the pioneer head of the newly formed anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. He was forced out of the agency in 2007 for failing to do the biddings of the then President Musa Yar’Adua.

In 2010, the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, selected him as its presidential candidate for the 2011 election. He lost the election, but continued to be a member of the ACN which has now merged with three other political parties to form the All Progressives Congress, APC.

In this chat with Ashafa Barkiya, editor of the well-regarded Hausa newspaper,RARIYA, Mr. Ribadu speaks about his life, career, politics and why he accepted to serve as Chairman of the Petroleum Revenue Special Task Force. The interview was translated to English by PREMIUM TIMES’ Sani Tukur.

Excerpt:

You were not well known prior to your appointment as Chairman of the EFCC. How did you join the Police, and why?

Thanks to Allah, I joined the Police after I completed my first degree in 1984. I also went to law school and qualified as a Barrister. We were some of the earliest to join the Police after qualifying as lawyers from the North.

Certainly, there were reasons why I decided to join the police, even though I was offered direct employment by the NNPC, UBA, PZ and Corporate Affairs Commission after I completed my youth service. Many people were surprised at my decision to join the police. They thought my lean frame disqualified me from being a police officer. Secondly, no one in my family had ever worked with the police. Thirdly, people thought the police was not for the well-educated.

Jonathan & Dame

Two days ago (on 12th February 2014) in Borno state Boko Haram killed 60 innocent Nigerians and carted off 24 young girls without any trace. On January 27th 2014 no less than 70 innocent Nigerians were murdered in cold blood by Boko Haram in a series of attacks in Borno and Adamawa states.

On January 14th 2014 at least 50 of our compatriots were blown to pieces by a Boko Haram suicide bomber in the heart of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state. Not too long before then they attacked an army barracks in Borno, killed 200 soldiers, carted off the wives and children of our military personnel and burnt the barracks to the ground.

A few weeks prior to that, numerous schools were attacked and hundreds of our children were either shot to death, hacked to pieces or had their throats cut and blood drained. Consequently many schools have been closed down in Borno and Yobe states respectively.

Court remands monarch for violence arsons and murders

Uche Irenuma

The bizarre case of Obi Uche Irenuma took yet another twist inside the Delta State Magistrate court room on Wednesday when trial magistrate, Mrs. Queen Momoh, remanded him to prison until early March. It was news the embattled dethroned Abavo monarch likely did not want to hear following his collapse at police headquarters on Monday.

Former New Orlean Mayor Ray Nagin

America still punish the corrupts, CNN reports that;

"Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, whose desperate pleas for help during Hurricane Katrina drew national attention, walked silently out of a courthouse Wednesday after a jury convicted him of federal corruption charges.

Nagin was elected as a reformer in 2002. But after a two-week trial that began in late January, he was found guilty of 20 out of 21 counts of bribery, money laundering, fraud and filing false tax returns, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. The sole acquittal was on one of the bribery counts.

Nagin left the courthouse without commenting Wednesday afternoon, accompanied by his wife and his lawyers. His lead attorney, Robert Jenkins, told reporters his client would appeal the convictions.

Read accounts

"Central African Republic President Catherine Samba-Panza has said she will "go to war" with Christian militias who are slaughtering Muslims. She said the militias, called anti-balaka, had "lost their sense of mission" and had become "the ones who kill, who pillage, who are violent".

From an article published on BBC today, Redeemed widens the scope of expansion and are ready to imitate Starbucks with aggression in foreign climes see details

For centuries, European and American missionaries have gone to Africa to spread the word of Christ. That trend is now working in reverse, with a Nigerian minister in Texas who plans to build churches as numerous as Starbucks coffee shops.

Drive an hour north-east of Dallas, and you will find yourself staring off into a barren, flat horizon. One out-of-place building rises above the landscape: a 10,000-seat auditorium.

It is the centrepiece for the Redeemed Christian Church of God in North America, a Pentecostal movement that started in Nigeria in 1952.

It is one of Africa's largest and most influential Christian movements, claiming more than five million followers worldwide, mostly in Nigeria.

Pastor James Fadele, who runs the Church in North America, said God told the Church's leader Enoch Adeboye that its North American headquarters would be founded near Dallas - but not where, and not when. Then, Fadele said, a white man in Texas had a vision.

ATM stronghold in Ibadan

A mystery Bank in Ibadan in a Bid to beat suspected marauders have gone extra mile in building an exclusive iron protector for ATM as pictured above.

Apart from employing the services of a security man who guards the ATM machine, all ATM clients are at the mercies of the security guards, if you want to withdraw money, the security guards stationed there will unlock and allow you use it, and when you are done, they lock again.

Stella Oduah and others resigns or sacked

Stella Oduah

Jonathan's Favorite, protected though Indicted minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah and minister of Niger Delta Affairs, minister of Police Affairs and minister of state Finance have resigned, Fighting corruption is prosecuting govt officials that are engaged in corrupt practices. Sacking them and doing nothing is simply saying go and enjoy your loot nothing do you. Jonathan has not demonstrated the tendencies and willingness of fighting corruption. For example, he cannot still be keeping Petroleum Minister in his cabinet.

Dr Bisola Clark, wife of Chief E. K Clarke whose two children, Adeife(10) and AKinola (14) were killed in Iyabo Obasanjo's convoy on the 20th of April 2003 has sent an open letter addressed to the Obasanjos expressing her distaste in the manner they handled the death of her children.

Mrs Clarke, who wasn't married to the elder-statesman when the incident happened, said she saw the need to speak up after Iyabo said in her open letter to her dad that the death of the children was what spurred her to pursue political appointments.

In the open letter, Mrs Clarke said none of the Obasanjo's have been there for her emotionally since the sad day she lost her two children in assassination attempt on Iyabo Obasanjo's life.

Iyabo has since responded to her former friend's letter. See excerpts after the cut from the letter sent to Vanguard and Iyabo's response

Goodluck Jonathan

“Anybody who wants to claim an element of credibility will go to the television and accuse government of corruption, that the President’s body language shows that he is not fighting corruption or that he is not ready to fight corruption. “Sometimes, even the very corrupt people are those making these statements because if you attack government, you are insulated, you become an angel.“If you want to be an angel, just attack the government, whatever you have done is covered.” Jonathan

Algerian military plane crashes into mountain

An Algerian military transport plane has crashed in the north-east of the country, killing all but one of the 78 people on board. The Hercules C-130 crashed into a mountain in Oum al-Bouaghi province, en route to Constantine, in bad weather conditions.

One survivor is being treated for head injuries, reports said.The government and military say 78 people were on board - not 103 as reported by officials and local media.

Most of those on board were military personnel and their family members.

Nigerians have been celebrating mediocrity for some time, Fame has become the charm of the young generation even when there is no substance to it, and the poor are at the receiving end, the rich keeps getting richer while the poor keeps getting poorer. When musician can no longer rebuke corruption in their songs, they will sure form an alliance with the corrupt and call it fame.

This is the case of Dapo Oyebanji popularly called Dbanj, who grovels around President Goodluck Jonathan who is renowned for corruption above his peers, a government that budgeted 34 million naira to feed two animals in a year while over 70% of it's population (human beings) are unable to feed on a dollar daily.
