WHY I AM ANTI-JONATHAN Essien Attah Wrote: A good friend called me up today and said he doesn't understand my Anti-Jonathan stance, that don't I know he is a Christian and from the South South thus we must learn to support our own no matter what. My reply, When your child is sick do you take him to a Christian Doctor from the South South or you ask for the best doctor around? Would you prefer for your child to be treated by a Christian, South South Quack or advocate for the best doctor around to treat your child? Hence if one wants the best care for one's child doesn't Nigeria deserve the best leaders votes can attain? Should I be happy that when GEJ came to power $1 was N156,but today it is N188 and still sliding? Should I rejoice each day I read in the papers that Boko Haram has killed Nigerians without respite despite having a Military that is far superior to the insurgents? Should I be happy that a litre of petrol was N65 b4 GEJ came and is now N97 and about to be

THIS IS KANO NOT DUBAI David Akata " Honestly Rabiu Kwankwaso has just shown his midas touch in the act of political governance. The transparency and openness are commendable departure from secrecy often associated with our leadership. This altitude of I do not have anything to hide, it is our goverment, see how we are running things, earns Kwankwaso the right to be consider for the Nation's plum job" Jolly Iguodala This is Kano, not Dubai, an attestation of R. M Kwankwaso (PHD) lofty engineering ideas and frugal/responsible leadership qualities This impeccable 2KM+ legacy is one of the 3 fly over bridges initiated, awarded and constructed by RMK, Unlike 2nd Niger bridge that was only built as a campaign promise, there was no deceitful fanfare groundbreaking ceremony, no kobo was borrowed from any bank on earth and moon for its financing.

DAILYPOST Poll: Buhari demystified as Atiku floors ‘the People’s General’ By Sylvester Ugwuanyi on December 5, 2014 If DAILY POST readers were to be delegates that will populate the National Convention of the All Progressives Congress, APC slated for December 10 and 11, 2014, former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubarkar, will be handed the presidential ticket of the party on a platter. This is as they have voted overwhelmingly in an online poll conducted by this newspaper to show their support for the presidential aspiration of Atiku under the platform of APC. However, the supposed victory of the former Vice-President at the poll was contradicted by an inherent corroborative measure which comes with the DAILY POST poll. This refers to the alternative means of voting that allows respondents to also vote through their comments in a bid to produce a foolproof result. In this regard, Buhari routed Atiku as well as the other aspirants by attracting endorsements from an outstanding major

Why Nigeria cancelled US military training – FG on December 05, 2014 / in News 12:46 am By Caleb Ayansina ABUJA—The Federal Government, yesterday, gave reason for the cancellation of the training of Nigerian soldiers by American security experts, attributing it to logistic problem. The U.S. Government, through its Embassy in Abuja on Monday said in a statement that “At the request of the Nigerian government, the United States will discontinue its training of a Nigerian Army battalion.” But Nigerian government explained that it did not cancel the training, but that the condition placed down by US government was not healthy for the security of lives and property of its citizens, particularly those in the north east region. The conditions, according to it, include withdrawing of some military equipment from the battle field, so that the American could use them to train the soldiers. The Coordinator of the National Information Centre, Mr. Mike Omeri, who stated this during a

I Stopped FG From Transferring Our N12bn To Abia – Gov Amaechi Rivers State governor Rotimi Amaechi has said that his decision to approach a Federal High Court in Abuja two weeks ago stopped the federal government from transferring N12 billion meant for the state to Abia State. This is as the governor has promised to renovate damaged stalls of the Port Harcourt New Layout Market gutted by fire on Tuesday night as well as compensate traders who were affected by the inferno. Amaechi spoke yesterday in Port Harcourt the state capital, during the governorship primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) where 4,574 delegates of the party in the state ratified the endorsement of a member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Dakuku Peterside as the party’s consensus governorship candidate for the 2015 general elections.

Hang on to your hats, America. And throw away that big, fat styrofoam finger while you’re about it. There’s no easy way to say this, so I’ll just say it: We’re no longer No. 1. Today, we’re No. 2. Yes, it’s official. The Chinese economy just overtook the United States economy to become the largest in the world. For the first time since Ulysses S. Grant was president, America is not the leading economic power on the planet. It just happened — and almost nobody noticed. The International Monetary Fund recently released the latest numbers for the world economy. And when you measure national economic output in “real” terms of goods and services, China will this year produce $17.6 trillion — compared with $17.4 trillion for the U.S.A. As recently as 2000, we produced nearly three times as much as the Chinese. To put the numbers slightly differently, China now accounts for 16.5% of the global economy when measured in real purchasing-power terms, compared with 1

This is the question on so many people’s lips when the Fuji musician was spotted worshiping at RCCG’s City of David parish on the Island. A lot of people were shocked to see him in church but kept their fingers crossed .

The Negative Aspects Of Respect In African Culture Africa as a continent is blessed beyond measure by every standard, both in terms of human capacity, natural resources and cultural richness, but as the popular saying goes, everything in life has both positive and negative effects, this I believe applies to the respect in African culture. Talking about the African Culture, there is no gain saying we are endowed with the best form of cultural inheritance, beautiful traditional ways of life and lovely interpersonal relationship which is worthy of being proud of, and if properly understood and applied in our daily lives, it could go a long way in helping us as people and the motherland attain its rightful place in the comity of nations. However, the African culture also have its negative effects, and one of such effects I would like to dwell upon in this write up is ‘’respect for elders’’. Respect they say is reciprocal, but to me, it may not be necessarily so,

Why Goodluck Is Bad For Nigeria By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat ‘’It is my sincere opinion that, the actions and inactions of Mr jonathan indicates that he doesn’t mean well for Nigeria. And even if he means well, certainly, he doesn’t act well. Sometimes, it is not about your will, but about your actions. If you wish well and act badly, no body cares about your wish, what they see is your bad actions because they say, action speaks louder than voice.’’ After a battle with the cabals, the destiny of a great country falls on the shoulder of a man without shoes, his name is Goodluck. It all begin with I have no shoes, a storyline which captures the heart of many and because of Mr Goodluck’s humble background, people sympathized with him and shielded him away from external forces that may wish him harm. But unknown to them, the man without shoes even possess more harmful intent capable of hurting 170million population. Save Nigeria Group (SNG) which spent many days and nights protest

Public Enemies And False Regional Loyalty – By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat Mallam-Lamido-Sanusi Discus4now@gmail.com Public enemies are citizens that derive joy in public disorder,create enmity among tribes, promote sectionalism and widen religious divide between citizens for selfish benefits. They love anarchy than peace and gain from negative occurrences. They mostly hide under the banner of their religion or tribe to perpetrate this evil agenda against the nation, but many are still unaware of their destructive agenda. With this unholy pursuit, some had gotten to the position of authority,occupying various high offices, attain celebrity status as well as being regarded as respected religious figures. This is so unfortunate for Nigeria as many young people have joined this cliq to continue the trend of negativity especially on the social media. It is equally unfortunate that Nigeria has gotten to a stage where

FROM RECORD IN 2011 Letter to Boko Haram Category: ARTICLES Published on Friday, 01 July 2011 01:12 Written by Abdulrazaq O Hamzat Assalamualaikum Waramatullahi Wabarakatu. I write in the name of Allah, The most beneficent and the most merciful. Dear Boko Haram, I am constrained to write you, reading through the news papers page recently regarding the issue of the bombing rocking our country Nigeria, It was reported that your organization claimed responsibility. In another report, it was reported that your sect stated your reason for embarking on this bombing mission to be the killing of your ex leader and members. It was also reported that the only condition given by your Organization for negotiation is the Adoption of Shariah Law in Nigeria. First, I would like to start from the name of your sect, Boko Haram. Meaning education is forbidden. The stand of your sect that education is forbidden came to me as a shock, considering the impact of education
