‘Supporters’ Rented For Jonathan Declaration Protest Non-Payment Of Stipend

Thousands of rented supporters of President Goodluck Jonathan today staged an embarrassing sit-down protest throughout his official declaration at Eagle Square in Abuja to show their anger over non-payment of their N2000 per head fee.  Some disillusioned supporters sitting out Sahara Reporters Media
The hired supporters, who converged at the venue of the event as early as 7.00am, maintained that their handlers had failed to pay the money promised to them.
A visibly-angry supporter who pleaded anonymity expressed his displeasure over the nonchalant attitude of some of the leaders of the various groups who brought them to the event for not showing any concern for their welfare despite the long distances they had to travel. 
“They asked us to enter the bus when they came to Maraba this morning and they promised to give us two thousand Naira each and also give us food but we are very disappointed to see them running around and later disappear into the middle of the crowd and nobody come back to give any money or bring water for us to drink.”  
Effort to get any of the leaders to react to the allegations was fruitless as their mobile phone numbers were switched off.

15 areas Nigeria is better than America

United States of America may be better than Nigeria in many ways, but there are also areas Nigeria is better than U.S. I have compiled just 15 of them for a start. Read and leave your comment. 1. Intelligence and smartness Nigerians are the most intelligent people in the world. Yes, they are the smartest you find anywhere in the world. However, the problem with intelligent and smart people is that, in anything they do, their intelligence and smartness come to play and others in the same circle hardly match their rare skills. In business, they will be intelligent and smart, in education, they will be intelligent and smart, in music and entertainment, they will be intelligent and smart and also in criminality, they will be intelligent and smart. As we all know, negative stories sells faster than anything else and this explains why Nigerian criminals are also world famous for their craft. Nigerian criminals, particularly the internet scammers are not in any way more dangerous than...

Facebook introduce jail option

-
Image
In a move to empower group administrators on the Facebook social media platform to descipline violators of group rules and regulations, facebook has introduced a mute option to jail offenders for specific period. By jail, it means that the person’s freedom on the group will be curtailed within the specific duration of their being muted by the administrator. This feature is considered better because before now, the only available option is for the admin to remove or block members who violate the rules of the group. However, with the option of mute, such violator can be muted or jailed for specific duration as warning. Besides the mute option on groups, facebook had also introduced snoze option for individual profiles and pages. Facebook has given you an option to mute selected persons or communities for a brief period. With this option, users can assert control over what content they wish to see in their news feed. When the Snooze period is about to end, users will be duly notified...

PDP to FG, heed Bill Gates advice

Instead of diverting public attention with its usual deceit and propaganda, the APC government should gear up and deliver on its hundreds of unfulfilled campaign promises, the PDP Caucus in the House of Representatives has said. In a statement issued by the House Minority Leader, Honourable Leo Ogor, the PDP House caucus warned that the APC’s uncharitable use of the Chibok’s girls’ abduction during the 2015 political campaigns along with its current propaganda efforts cannot help APC win re-election in 2019. “Over and over, it has been proven that hands down, the current APC government in Nigeria beats all preceding administration, including the colonial ones, in the sinister art of deceitful lies and propaganda. “With fiendish mercilessness, APC’s 2015 campaign milked the unfortunate abduction of Chibok girls for every available ounce of propaganda and disinformation against the preceding administration; its campaign rhetoric and official hoopla from the lying ministe...

Frontline Presidential Candidate, Mr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim has declared his candidacy as the best fit to rescue Nigeria from the politics and practice of recycling leaders. The candidate who has emerged as a third force in the race towards next year’s presidential elections, said as a matter of fact that “while recycling of waste products might be good for the environment, it is bad for governance” He stressed at an interactive session with journalists at the weekend that the world has developed to appreciate the importance of recycling refuse and waste products, but cannot grow to the extent of accepting fading personalities as our potential rescuers. “What we need now is a new generation of leaders. We no longer need the cabal anymore. We cannot accept a situation where we accommodate multiple pension-receiving individuals. I mean those who have been living on government expenses in ages. It is good to retire these people and the time to do that is now”, Olawepo-Hashim state...

Stop publishing fake news, Bloggers Guild tell media, as it urges politicians to play by the rules

-
The Guild of Professional Bloggers of Nigeria has urged all stakeholders in the coming elections to play by the rules and ensure free and fair elections nationwide. In a statement signed by the president of the association, Mr Chris Kehinde Nwandu, the association urged politicians not to see the coming elections as a do or die affair. “This is an opportunity for electorates to exercise their civic responsibility to select leaders without fear of violence. Violence is inimical to conducting a credible election. Politicians are therefore advised not to heat up the polity or incite their followers to violence,” the statement says.  The Guild also urged INEC to remain as an unbiased umpire, saying: “We strongly believe that INEC should be completely independent. On no account should INEC be perceived as being biased by either the electorates or election observers. “We urge everyone to vote because bad politicians are not born, they are created by some good people who don’t v...
