Are you tired of the corrupt practices of the Nigerian politicians and ridiculous waste of our national resources?

If yes, WakeUp

When the wrong people are in power and the right people are protesting, the status quo remains the same until the right people get involved. But he who feels too pure or clean to get involved in the game of politics should feel ashamed of complaining of bad governance. Abdulrazaq Oyebanji Hamzat

Time to Tell the Truth: Obama Ought to be Impeached

Mark A. Goldman Dated: 5/19/2011



I would agree that we have no elected officials who have the courage to tell the truth, but that shouldn’t mean that we citizens should give up on the truth too, just because it is no longer popular to believe in it in this country. If you want to live in a country that lives by the Constitution and the rule of law, then you have to believe in the truth and support the rule of law. Early on in his administration Obama broke the law when he failed to prosecute his predecessor. It’s called being an Accessory After the Fact. It’s a crime. That was his first crime.



TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 1 > § 3



§ 3. Accessory after the fact

Whoever, knowing that an offense against the United States has been committed, receives, relieves, comforts or assists the offender in order to hinder or prevent his apprehension, trial or punishment, is an accessory after the fact.



Except as otherwise expressly provided by any Act of Congress, an accessory after the fact shall be imprisoned not more than one-half the maximum term of imprisonment or (notwithstanding section 3571) fined not more than one-half the maximum fine prescribed for the punishment of the principal, or both; or if the principal is punishable by life imprisonment or death, the accessory shall be imprisoned not more than 15 years. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/718/usc_sec_18_00000003----000-.html



If you want to read my basic assessment of his predecessor’s crimes you can read this: http://www.gpln.com/constitutionincrisis.htm

The fact is that Obama has continued to commit many of the crimes that Bush and his administration committed, including murder, torture, renditions, indefinite detentions, launching illegal war and other crimes including various war crimes and other affronts against the Constitution.

He doesn’t deserve our respect, he doesn’t deserve to be in office, he shouldn’t be taken seriously as a public servant. He is unqualified and disqualified. It is too late for Obama.

Even if he were to change his spots and behave like a real President of the United States from this point forward, it wouldn’t change the fact that he is a criminal and ought to be held accountable for his crimes.

If you can’t see your way to agree with me then perhaps that’s why we no longer have a president or congress that believe in the rule of law. There is no lawmaker of which I am aware who publicly agrees with what I just said. To me that means there is no one in public office that deserves to be in public office. If you want to live in a country that believes in the rule of law, where no one is above the law, you will need to come to terms with the truth.

The President of the United States does not have permission to commit murder or any other crime. Period. No one else does either. If the president has no authority to commit murder, he has no right or authority to give anyone else permission to commit murder or to break any other law. We have a criminal government. To the extent that you give them a pass on their criminal behavior, you are an accessory, and the reason, and the cause for the decline of our country. This is how I see it. You have no right to complain about how your elected officials behave if you haven’t the consciousness to know the difference between right and wrong, between legal and illegal, between keeping your word or oath of office and you gave your word the last time you said the pledge of allegiance. This is how it is.

I'm not saying that Obama shouldn't have his day in court and a chance to prove he is innocent of what the charges against him might be. I'm saying that he should.

Nothing you say or think is going to change the truth. It is what it is

By Chris Hedges

The moral philosopher Cornel West, if Barack Obama’s ascent to power was a morality play, would be the voice of conscience. Rahm Emanuel, a cynical product of the Chicago political machine, would be Satan. Emanuel in the first scene of the play would dangle power, privilege, fame and money before Obama. West would warn Obama that the quality of a life is defined by its moral commitment, that his legacy will be determined by his willingness to defy the cruel assault by the corporate state and the financial elite against the poor and working men and women, and that justice must never be sacrificed on the altar of power.

Perhaps there was never much of a struggle in Obama’s heart. Perhaps West only provided a moral veneer. Perhaps the dark heart of Emanuel was always the dark heart of Obama. Only Obama knows. But we know how the play ends. West is banished like honest Kent in “King Lear.” Emanuel and immoral mediocrities from Lawrence Summers to Timothy Geithner to Robert Gates—think of Goneril and Regan in the Shakespearean tragedy—take power. We lose. And Obama becomes an obedient servant of the corporate elite in exchange for the hollow trappings of authority.

No one grasps this tragic descent better than West, who did 65 campaign events for Obama, believed in the potential for change and was encouraged by the populist rhetoric of the Obama campaign. He now nurses, like many others who placed their faith in Obama, the anguish of the deceived, manipulated and betrayed. He bitterly describes Obama as “a black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats. And now he has become head of the American killing machine and is proud of it.”

“When you look at a society you look at it through the lens of the least of these, the weak and the vulnerable; you are committed to loving them first, not exclusively, but first, and therefore giving them priority,” says West, the Class of 1943 University Professor of African American Studies and Religion at Princeton University. “And even at this moment, when the empire is in deep decline, the culture is in deep decay, the political system is broken, where nearly everyone is up for sale, you say all I have is the subversive memory of those who came before, personal integrity, trying to live a decent life, and a willingness to live and die for the love of folk who are catching hell. This means civil disobedience, going to jail, supporting progressive forums of social unrest if they in fact awaken the conscience, whatever conscience is left, of the nation. And that’s where I find myself now.

“I have to take some responsibility,” he admits of his support for Obama as we sit in his book-lined office. “I could have been reading into it more than was there.

“I was thinking maybe he has at least some progressive populist instincts that could become more manifest after the cautious policies of being a senator and working with [Sen. Joe] Lieberman as his mentor,” he says. “But it became very clear when I looked at the neoliberal economic team. The first announcement of Summers and Geithner I went ballistic. I said, ‘Oh, my God, I have really been misled at a very deep level.’ And the same is true for Dennis Ross and the other neo-imperial elites. I said, ‘I have been thoroughly misled, all this populist language is just a facade. I was under the impression that he might bring in the voices of brother Joseph Stiglitz and brother Paul Krugman. I figured, OK, given the structure of constraints of the capitalist democratic procedure that’s probably the best he could do. But at least he would have some voices concerned about working people, dealing with issues of jobs and downsizing and banks, some semblance of democratic accountability for Wall Street oligarchs and corporate plutocrats who are just running amuck. I was completely wrong.”

West says the betrayal occurred on two levels.

“There is the personal level,” he says. “I used to call my dear brother [Obama] every two weeks. I said a prayer on the phone for him, especially before a debate. And I never got a call back. And when I ran into him in the state Capitol in South Carolina when I was down there campaigning for him he was very kind. The first thing he told me was, ‘Brother West, I feel so bad. I haven’t called you back. You been calling me so much. You been giving me so much love, so much support and what have you.’ And I said, ‘I know you’re busy.’ But then a month and half later I would run into other people on the campaign and he’s calling them all the time. I said, wow, this is kind of strange. He doesn’t have time, even two seconds, to say thank you or I’m glad you’re pulling for me and praying for me, but he’s calling these other people. I said, this is very interesting. And then as it turns out with the inauguration I couldn’t get a ticket with my mother and my brother. I said this is very strange. We drive into the hotel and the guy who picks up my bags from the hotel has a ticket to the inauguration. My mom says, ‘That’s something that this dear brother can get a ticket and you can’t get one, honey, all the work you did for him from Iowa.’ Beginning in Iowa to Ohio. We had to watch the thing in the hotel.

This is a greate article i came across.


‘The educated African is the selfish philanthropist. Touched by the turmoil surrounding her, she longs to “do something” to help those in need. But first, her needs must also be met. For how can she help others when she has not yet helped herself?’ writes Neema Ndunguru.

The educated African is the privileged African. For through her education, she has gained knowledge. And knowledge, as we – the educated – know, is power. There she sits, in her position of power, perched on the pedestal of privilege, cushioned by a false sense of pride. From this pedestal she looks upon those who know not as much as she and expects recognition for her intellectual prowess.

The educated African is the crippled visionary. Having descended from his pedestal, he sits on his comfortable couch and sips on his imported beverage. So quick is he to criticise the current state of his country, yet he does little to change the status quo. So perfectly laid out are his plans of what should be; critically analysed from all angles. If only the system had room for minds as great and practical as his. If only it did.

The educated African is the selfish philanthropist. Touched by the turmoil surrounding her, she longs to ‘do something’ to help those in need. But first, her needs must also be met. For how can she help others when she has not yet helped herself? Though her intentions are good, her direction leads to distress. For her gains cause grief amidst those who have none. Eventually, she gives of her share. The people rejoice! As does she at the thought of her social elevation.

The educated African is the diverted pioneer. Overflowing with ideas and vast opportunities to exploit, negotiation is the name of his game. Gaining access and influencing decisions, he uses his vantage point carelessly. Guided by his sense of know-how, at times, he stumbles over his sense of know-when. Maybe next time, he sighs. The people are not yet ready for this opportunity. Tomorrow, however, little will be done differently.

The educated African is the frustrated individual. Overwhelmed by the responsibility bestowed upon her, she withdraws to her comfort zone, writing thoughts that run through her mind. Thoughts of where we have gone wrong. Thoughts of why we do not learn. Thought after thought, she plays with words, and wishes in vain, that these words could only reverse the damage done.

No longer is it enough to simply remember what the true role of the educated African ought to be. For in remembering, we – the Africans – cover but one mile in the journey towards freeing ourselves from the mis-education trap; from the bondage of pride. United we have stood – alone. Divided we shall grow apart. Perhaps the time has come, to re-educate ourselves; to re-focus our energy on righting our wrongs. Perhaps the time has come, to face our complexities, and, despite these, regard each other as one, regardless of one’s education.

Perhaps, no – indeed, the time has come, to redefine the educated African.

Now I am not comfortable. According to data released by the state’s ministry of finance. Lagos State owes N124billion Naira. PM News reported the state will be paying each outgoing State Law-Maker 52 Million Naira. If the PDP is the party of looters what do we call the reckless profligacy in Lagos. Good Governance is not Licence to LOOT!

How PDP and INEC rigged elections for Jonathan - Buhari
Written by elombah.com



The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) yesterday began its battle to upturn President Goodluck Jonathan’s victory at the April 16 presidential election. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari’s party filed a petition before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, sitting at the Court of Appeal in Abuja, just ahead of today’s deadline for submission of petitions. The CPC is asking for the nullification of results in 20 states where it said the election was rigged.
The states where the CPC is alleging substantial non-compliance with the Electoral Act and other irregularities are: Lagos, Bayelsa, Kaduna, Sokoto, Nasarawa, Kwara, Adamawa, Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Enugu and Cross River.
Others are: Rivers, Ebonyi, Bayelsa, Delta, Imo Anambra, Benue and Plateau states as well as the FCT.
In the petition anchored on two grounds and filed by Mr. Ebun Shofunde (SAN), Abubakar Malami (SAN) and Alasa Ismail, the CPC is asking the tribunal to set aside the presidential election and organise a fresh election between the CPC and the PDP.
The CPC also urges the tribunal to hold that Jonathan and his running mate, Namadi Sambo, were not duly elected by majority of lawful votes cast at the election.
The CPC accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of frustrating its efforts to file the petition. It claimed that all entreaties to get sensitive materials to use in arguing its case proved abortive.
In an exparte application filed last Friday, the CPC asked the tribunal to compel INEC to release certain sensitive materials used during the polls to it.
CPC National Chairman Prince Tony Momoh said yesterday in a statement that the party decided to go to the tribunal to point out that lapses observed before and during the elections "were not adequately addressed, if at all".

Meanwhile, elombah.com has obtained copy of the CPC petition to INEC rejecting the result of the presidential election as announced by Jega.

CPC PETITION ON 2011 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

21ST April, 2011
The Chairman
Independent National Electoral Commission
Zambesi Crescent, Maitama District
P. M. B. 0184, Garki
Abuja, FCT.
Dear Sir,

REJECTION OF THE RESULT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

We write further to our letter of objection dated the 18th of April to your good-selves to formally reject the declared result of the presidential election in its entirety because it is as unfair and unjust as it is a subversion of the popular will of the electorate.
In substantiation of the massive irregularities and blatant fraud that marred the credibility of the election, we provide below additional and better information that make it impossible for any legitimate government to be founded on the outcome of the exercise:
1. From BBC World News, 17th April 2011:
To win at the first round, a candidate needs at least 25% of the vote in two-thirds of Nigeria's 36 states. According to regional results, Mr Jonathan has passed that threshold in at least 24 states. He polled 20.3m votes to the 10.4m cast for his nearest rival, General Muhammadu Buhari. In Akwa Ibom state, he was credited with winning 95% percent and in Anambra it was 99%. In his home state, Bayelsa, he took 99.63%. "Figures of 95% and above for one party suggest that these are fabricated figures and, personally, they worry me because they pose serious questions on the credibility of the election," Jibrin Ibrahim of the Centre for Democracy and Development told AFP news agency.”
…………………, BBC World News
2. From Sahara Reporters, New York, 17th April 2011:
Several sources said Anambra had been turned into a free rigging field for the Jonathan ticket. “The police and army have cordoned off polling booths all over Anaocha local government area, and PDP members are thumb printing ballots which INEC officials then sign and drop in as votes,” said a source. He added that agents representing the other parties had been offered bribes that are several times higher than their payments – and most of them were collaborating in the rigging. “There’s no more hope for this country,” said the source.
Meanwhile, Mr. Jonathan, who authorized the widespread rigging, was hypocritically proclaiming that today’s voting was free and free, adding that he had not interfered with officials of INEC.

3. In the PM news edition of April 16th, 2011:

“Governor Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers state, South South Nigeria, has expressed disappointment at the low turnout of voters at his polling unit, which is Ward 8, Unit 14 at Utima, Ikwerre Local Government area, shortly after casting his vote, along with his wife, Judith. The governor who cast his vote at about 12.35pm also lauded the peaceful disposition of Rivers people and the diligence of the security personnel who had little job to do today” …This message came from the Chief Executive of a State where the percentage of voter turnout according to the final result was in excess of 76%!

4. Sample of complaints from accredited agents and members of the public to CPC Election Monitoring Center:
ABUJA
We received calls and text messages that many cars were seen driving out of the house of the FCT minister in 13 Gingiri Street, Garki Area 2 with stuffed ballot boxes…, Some of the text messages were forwarded to INEC’s hotline during the election on Saturday, the 16th of April 2011 – Evidence available on the handsets.
RIVERS
‘I was the first voter to arrive at polling unit and stayed until the ballots
were counted. Based on my observation there was a poor turn-out of voters and I
will estimate total number of voters at 250 - 300 maximum out of about 600 registered voters in the polling unit. I was accredited in 10
minutes (at 9:50am) and I voted in less than 5 minutes (at 2:00pm). This is to let you know how scanty the polling unit was’…This message came from the same state where the Governor had also lamented about low turnout in 3 above and where the percentage of voter turnout according to the final result was in excess of 76% as opposed to about 45% in this polling unit.
CROSS RIVER
‘Blue ink was provided for thumb print in our polling unit. However, when it came to counting, a majority of the PDP ballot papers had black ink as thumb-print.
The entire CPC ballot papers had thumb prints with blue ink as provided. The PO could not provide any explanation’.
ENUGU
‘Our conclusion on what transpired in Enugu State (and indeed the South East Zone) is allocation of votes to the PDP with 802,144 (98.5%) to Goodluck Jonathan and 3,753 (0.5%) to Muhammadu Buhari. Allocating 3,753 votes to CPC is not only ridiculous but goes to suggest that even we members of the party and our families did not vote in that election as we have over 50,000 members and supporters’.
BAYELSA
‘Due to poor turnout of voters in the South South and the connivance of the state and federal governments there was massive rigging to boost the number of votes for PDP, there is need for a thorough investigation of multiple votes to ascertain the actual votes casted in line with one man one vote promised by President Jonathan’.
NASARAWA
‘Shortage of ballot papers -
Duly accredited voters were deprived from voting because of insufficient ballot papers in a lot of polling units such as PU 25/08/07/037 in Lafia’.
GOMBE
‘Hon Magaji Doho in Kwami LGA had been apprehended with ballot papers.
Also in Bajoga, the DPO and INEC electoral officer were caught with ballot papers’.
BAUCHI
1. ‘In Missau and Azare LGA’s, thousands of accredited voters could not vote because of shortage of ballot papers’.
2. ‘There was stuffing of ballot boxes in the house of DR MUSA BABAYO’.
3. ‘In Bogoro LGA, ‘ballot stuffing is ongoing at DR JAMES LANDI’s house’.
JIGAWA
‘In Sule Tankarkar and Gumel Areas, Security Personnel stopped voters from getting to polling stations’.
TARABA
‘In Polling Unit no 007 in Lamurde Primary School, Sarking Dawaki Ward, Jaligo LGA, an INEC Staff was adopted by PDP thugs’.
KADUNA
‘In Sabon Tasha and Narayi both in Chukun LGA, agents of CPC were chased away from polling centers and the ballot boxes snatched by PDP thugs’.
AKWA IBOM
‘Elections were marred with all sorts of rigging imaginable and voter intimidation. Government officials arrived at polling units in company of police men and took ballot papers and ballot boxes away to undisclosed locations and stuff the ballot boxes with PDP votes. If nothing is done to curb this blatant abuse of the law, the guber elections will be an outright war in this State’.
DELTA
‘There were no result forms (Form EC 8a) in the polling unit PU: 10/22/08/002 and other polling units in the entire Uvwie LGA in Delta state. Corp members reported they were told to go back to the Secretariat to write the result.
Result in PU: 10/22/08/010 in Effurun-warri and Uwvie areas was written on a plain sheet. CPC agents protested at the Secretariat but they were ignored by INEC officials’.
5. On the 13th of April 2011, we were tipped off by good Samaritans about buses conveying millions of ballot papers for the Presidential elections from a private printing press - Tulip Press owned by a known PDP stalwart and a former gubernatorial candidate on PDP platform – Mallam Bello Gwandu for distribution to certain states. We promptly alerted the police and two suspects – Messrs Habila Stephen and Akinlolu Akinto were arrested and taken to Utako Police Station for questioning. The incident can be verified from the DPO of the station. Even though INEC subsequently disclosed that the printers were formally engaged by the Commission and the suspects were therefore released, we nonetheless remain concerned as the Chairman of INEC had publicly announced on the 2nd of April 2011 that the elections were being postponed on account of late arrival of election materials from overseas printers and there was clearly no indication then that local printers were engaged in the process. Could these ballot papers and or others printed locally have been the ones used to inflate the votes in favour of PDP?

6. On the 16th of April 2011, when voting for the presidential election was being conducted, we received yet again another tip off, this time from one of our monitoring agents, about a man that approached a polling unit in Wuse Zone 3 whilst carrying a bag suspected to contain election materials. The police officers on duty were alerted and the man was taken to the nearby police station. When questioned, he claimed to be a staff of INEC on duty and telephoned his supervisor for identification as he had no ID Card on him. The supervisor arrived and identified the suspect as an ad-hoc staff and himself as Richard Awolola – the Electoral Officer for AMAC with an INEC ID Card as a staff based in Nasarawa but on temporary assignment in Abuja. The suspect was then asked to empty the contents of his bag and it was found to contain a blank booklet of Form EC8B Presidential Election Collation at Ward level result sheets and another EC8B for the 9th of April National Assembly election; a copy of which is shown below as Exhibit 1.
EXIHIBIT 1:

Some of the pertinent questions from this incident are (1) How come under ‘Votes Received by Parties’ it is only in column 16 for PDP and in rows 11 to 19 that the figures were altered to inflate the number of votes? (2) How many other altered EC8B’s have been integrated into the final result? (3) Why was an ad-hoc staff without any ID card whatsoever in possession of a whole booklet of blank EC8B Presidential election result sheets; more so that Section 45(2) of the 2010 Electoral Act (as amended) stipulates that ‘the Polling Agents shall be present at the distribution of the election materials from the office to the polling booth’? (4) How many other blank result sheets were in circulation on that day and how many have been incorporated into the final result?

Incontrovertible facts from this Analysis:
1. The national average turnout rate is about 52% and about 46% when the substantially above average turnout rate in the South South and South East zones is excluded. Why?
2. The average turnout rate in the South South and South East zones (without Ebonyi and Edo states) at 78% is 50% above the national average of about 52%. How come?
3. Dr. Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP got over 85% share of the valid votes cast in all the 11 states in the South South and South East zones, with 10 of the said states at 95% and above including 4 of the states at 99% and 1 at near perfect share of 99.6% in his home state. Thus, all the 11 states in the 2 zones had a red flag for being above the national average turnout rate and/or were above 85% threshold. Do ‘these figures of 95% and above for one party suggest that these are fabricated figures’ as aptly stated in 1 above by the BBC World News reporter, more so that 10 states are affected rather than the 3 states he identified?
4. General Buhari of the CPC (and indeed all other opposition candidates) had no single state with a combination of average turnout rate above the national average and share of valid votes in excess of 85%. Why only Dr. Goodluck Jonathan in NOT one, two or three but nine states?
5. The inevitable reasonable conclusion from the incontrovertible facts in 1 to 4 above is that no credible elections took place in the South South and South East zones and that those returns were basically concocted through fraudulent thumb printing and stuffing of ballot papers and/or that the results were deliberately falsified in favour of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP.

8. In spite of the case of res ipsa loquitur (a thing that speaks for itself) adduced in Table 1 above, additional and specific evidence of massive rigging is to be found in Table 2 below which is a summary of a sample of ward level collation results in Rivers State. The average turnout rate in the sample is 49%; which begs the question as to how the turnout in the declared result for the state metamorphosed into well over 76%?

TABLE 2: PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION – COLLATION AT WARD LEVEL IN RIVERS STATE
S/N NUMBER OF REGISTERED VOTERS TOTAL VOTES CAST % TURNOUT
0969006284 43,843 18,008 41%
0969006284 14,002 6,170 43%
0969006284 16,068 7,001 44%

0969006220 36,969 21,800 59%
TOTAL 165,380 81,010 49%

Please see Exhibit 2 below for source of data.

EXHIBIT 2:

9. Further to the specific evidence in support of lower voter turnout rate in Rivers State as shown in 8 above, additional concrete evidence in support of manipulated figures in Form EC8B is to be found in Exhibit 3 below in respect of the result for Cross River State. The fuzzy arithmetic contained therein is mind boggling, as the total number of registered voters in the ward at 6,031 transformed into 377,517 total valid votes. This could well have been an innocent error; but yet again, the ultimate beneficiary is Dr. Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP as he was awarded about 710,000 (98%) votes out of the total valid votes of 725,884. Does this make for a credible election?
EXHIBIT 3:

10. It is a trite principle that the law does not engage in trivial matters. Such that if the effect of the fabricated figures that had been proved beyond reasonable doubt in the South East and South South would not without more materially affect the final result, it would have been ignored and the declaration of Dr. Jonathan Goodluck as the winner would receive judicial affirmation. This is what makes it imperative to embark on a sensitivity analysis as contained in Table 3 below.

Thus, when the fabricated figures are deducted from the total result, General Muhammadu Buhari has the majority of votes; thereby precluding Dr. Goodluck Jonathan from being declared as the winner of the election. This fundamental principle was founded on the authority of the case of Omoboriowo v Ajasin (1984) SCNLR 1 at pages 108, 152-153 would drive home a nail struck clarification wherein Eso JSC said:- “Finally, once the figures are false, whether the falsification was done by the 2nd appellant or not, the fact remains that 1st appellant cannot and should not be elected on figures other than the majority of the votes cast at the election”; which ratio was applied by the Court of Appeal in the recent cases of Fayemi v Oni – CA/IL/EPT/GOV/1/10 and Aregbesola v Oyinlola – Appeal No: CA/1/EPT/GOV/02/2010.

CONCLUSION AND PRAYERS:
In our letter of objection dated the 18th of April, we had appealed that ‘you demand the ballot papers and result sheets as collated from these zones (South East and South South) for scrutiny in the interest of peace, prosperity, free, fair and credible election’ and ‘order for the cancellation of the results handed down from the South South and South East in the event the investigation revealed the alleged breaches’. The appeal was regarded as being impractical and accordingly ignored. The Commission then swiftly proceeded to declare seriously flawed result which can now be seen in the light of this submission to be nothing but a charade. In polling units where elections were held, they were seemingly free, fair and credible. But behind the scene, there were loads of massive fraudulent thumb printing and blatant manipulation of figures at the ward and local government collation centers.
The façade at the polling units must be unmasked for this election to be seen as the sham that it truly was. The integrity of elections is crucial for the survival of our nascent democracy as no legitimate government can be founded on a stolen mandate. We consider the subversion of the popular will to be the worst form of corruption that can befall any nation. It is on the strength of the struggle to save the heart and soul of our fatherland that we submit the following prayers for your urgent attention:
1. Please as a matter of utmost urgency take custody of all the election materials and make the ballot papers in support of the votes cast in the South South and the South East zones available for a representative sample of the thumb prints to be matched with the biometric based voters register by forensic experts. The same examination can be conducted in the North West and North East zones if only for the sake of good order. A sample of the result sheets at the ward and local government collation centers should also be examined by independent third party accountants;
2. If the ballot papers and or figures were found to have been substantially manipulated, the Commission should be bold enough to reverse its position on the declared result if only in the interest of peace and greater public good; and
3. Prosecute to the full extent of the law all those found to have played any significant role in once again bringing the credibility of the Commission into disrepute.

Respectfully submitted,
Yours sincerely,

National Chairman.

@lagosshia

i too know is d problem u have.

la di rara, wala dira ra.

always creating problem for urself on understanding.

what is d meaning of all u hv wrote, how is it different from d ordinary explanation

Why Girls Like Bad Boys
Girls are attracted to the unpredictability and dominance of bad boys.
You can employ the positive traits of bad boys to get girls without being mean.
"I loved the idea of being successful with women, but I hated the idea of mistreating people, David DeAngelo "

question
Hey,

A really quick question: I met this girl and I wussed the whole thing up. In just two short months, she's back with her old "bad boy" boyfriend, who she said paid her no attention. I smothered her with attention and was nice. So why can't I get her back?
responds
you're telling the story of my life. More specifically, the story of the "old" me, before I learned everything that I know, and now teach to other guys.

You see, for most of my life, I was the nicest of the nice guys. But after continuing along the same path -- and getting the same lousy results with women -- I realized something that literally changed everything for me. I realized that it's really the "bad boys" who do, in fact, attract the hot women.

Why?

It's basically because selfish, "jerk" behavior, as unhealthy as this might sound, often triggers the precise emotions in a woman necessary to make her feel irresistible attraction. Sarcasm, unpredictability, ball busting, playing hard to get, and all kinds of other "illogical" things, they succeed every time where "being nice" fails.

So, back to the "old" me.

I had a dilemma: I loved the idea of being successful with women, but I hated the idea of mistreating people, being mean to them, lying and misleading, and so on.

I mean, deep down, I want to be a good guy. So I decided that there must be a way to make this work -- to attract women like a "bad boy" without being an abusive, lying jerk. And, after spending years learning from the naturals -- men whose success with women seems absolutely effortless -- the good news hit me.

There is a way to make this work, but it would require that I set aside my current ideas just long enough to entertain some new ones. When I learned to do this (as you must), I discovered I really could have the best of both worlds: I could be nice to women on my own terms, and also give them what they really want and what really attracts them.

You with me?

My realization was that women don't choose who they feel attracted to. It's something that just happens -- an emotional response to certain things men say and do.

In other words, women don't choose to feel the emotion called "attraction" for jerks any more than you choose to feel the emotion called attraction for beautiful women. Sure, some women do feel attraction for extremely handsome men, but it's been proven that they feel a much stronger attraction to specific personality traits and behaviors than they do for physical looks.

So what is it about the "bad boy" that creates this powerful, uncontrollable attraction in women?

Let me answer first by telling you what it’s not.

It's not that women are attracted to the abusive, mean, negative part of the "bad boy” personality. I think that these jerks just happen to also possess several associated, attractive qualities that are so powerful they literally make women blind to the abuse. Women rationalize away and excuse the abusive behavior because they want these other qualities so badly: unpredictability, uncontrollability, challenging dominance.

When presented correctly, they trigger the natural attraction mechanism inside of women. And "bad boys" have taken these natural qualities that are so attractive to women and made an art out of them.

But what does this mean to you, JT?

David D. explains how nice guys can pull off that bad boy charm next.


I often recommend coming at this like a substance abuse problem."

Well, the most important thing is that it means you can still be a good guy and attract women at the same time. First, you'll have to learn how to flirt in a different way and become a little more comfortable being challenging to women. But in the end, you'll find that this will get you what you want and still allow you to treat women on your own terms.

Oh, and it also means that, instead of being the guy who women talk to about their relationship problems with their bad boy boyfriend, you can become the guy they're dating and sleeping with.

Awesome.
question
Hi,

I downloaded your e-book a little over a month ago, have read it a few times, and I must say it has definitely made me want to change my approach to meeting women.

I'm naturally funny and sarcastic except when it comes to beautiful women. Then I am a pretty shy, wussy guy. I really need to change that. Any advice to avoid having my suppressed wussiness peek through? Thanks, you are the man!


responds
Excellent timing, Chris. This really relates to the bad boy question above, so this is a great time to answer it.

Listen, so many guys tell themselves that, if women aren't attracted to Wussies, then why do they accept invitations to dinner, gifts, flowers, and attention from wussy guys, only to reject them later on?

Well, let's think about this:

1- Free food is free food, and free gifts are free gifts. I mean, when the price is right, it's right, right?

2- Women say to themselves: "I really should date a nice guy instead of all these sexy jerks that I've been seeing. I'll let Mr. Wussy Man take me out to dinner a few times and maybe I can learn to like him."

3- If a woman doesn't have anything going on at all, dinner with a Wussy (and a constant stream of compliments and attention) is better than nothing.

4- Men are notorious for showing their non-Wuss side early on, but then somehow turning into a raging Wuss Boy as the relationship progresses.

So, Chris, what can you do to keep your inner Wuss from peeking through?

I often recommend coming at this like a substance abuse problem. The first step is admitting that you've been acting like a Wuss, accepting yourself as you are and making a commitment to yourself to improve from here on out.

You need to learn how to evict your inner Wuss and get down to the business of learning how to create attraction in a woman. It's not magic, and it's not voodoo. It doesn’t require looks or money. And I've proven time and again that almost any man can learn how to do it.

So run, don't walk, to educate yourself about the basics of creating attraction (either with my teaching or elsewhere) and you'll never have to worry about your inner Wuss peeking through again. Period.

@ dis guy, this topic was posted 1 year two months ago, that was when saraki the father and gbemi has not left pdp for ACPN, that was when Bukola saraki as not presented his own candidate.

everything stated in this thread as come to pass just as the writer predicted.


it was all a game plan. gbemi will be given another federal appointment and u still think she looses?

if you still think saraki the father looses, by successfully making his son the godson/father after him,replacing his sister as senator,giving the sister either ministerial, or ambassador appointment,succesfully fixing all the state house of assembly members.

if that means loosing, then u re on ur own.

For a Muslim male to marry a female from the people of the book (christian) is permissible

The Quran in Sura 5:5 says:

. . . Likewise you are permitted to marry chaste believing women [Muslims] or chaste women among the people who were given the Scripture [Jews and Christians] . . . . (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 427)

This verse, as noted, says that Islam permits Muslim men to marry non-Muslim women who are Christians and Jews, but a Jewish or Christian man may not marry a Muslim woman.

It's permissible but it's deemed as makruh tahriman outside Dar al-Islam; i.e. the marriage woudl be sinful, but would still be valid.
[Hanafi Madhhab ruling]

The Holy Qur’an has placed no restriction if a Muslim man wants to marry a Christian lady. It however has commanded the believers not to marry anyone who associates other partners or deities with God (polytheists) as He is one and alone nor should the believers marry any convicted criminal of adultery. Apart from these two restrictions, the Shari‘ah (Law of God) has placed no restriction on marriage contracts of the believers.
However, this does not mean that we should not use our sense and reason to choose the person we intend to marry. Indeed, there are many things involved that must be considered before a couple decides to get married. The foremost factor is that there should be harmony between both in terms of their financial status and religious set up. Religion is not a trivial matter to be ignored while choosing your prospective husband. Marriage means that two persons are going to live together for the rest of their lives. Do you think that there would be no conflict on religious issues? What about the children that God will bless you with? What religion would they be taught? You may think that such matters are of less importance to modern minds. But I assure you that these matters will of be concern to you both once you come out of the euphoria that people experience before marriage.
As for your saying ‘Does the Qur'an say that the Christian women have to convert to Islam and gain knowledge about it to marry the Muslim men?’, I would like to tell you that the Holy Qur’an does not hold religion as a matter of petty importance. Why would Qur’an ask a lady to renounce her religion for some mortal man? Religion is something very personal in nature. It is a deep relationship — a connection more strong than the one which is established between a man and his wife. It is about God and His servants; it is about God and you. There is no man between you and Him. You accept Him on a very personal basis; you surrender before Him of your own accord. Did you know that Islam gives so much respect to Christians because of the fact that they believe in one God? The bitterest thing is however that they have devised ‘Three’ for the One that is alone and devoid of any partner whosoever. He is One and is the Creator and Master of all humans. Islam calls all the Christians to accept the fact that was also propagated by Jesus (sws) as the Lord is One. What I wish to say is that religion is something that should be chosen with a serious mind and after appreciating the value of the specific teachings that this religion promotes. Islam does not force people to convert. It is the truth that every willing person is welcome to embrace.

And Allah knows best.

@lagos shia, do not make impermissible what the prophet made permissible. u may advice people not to do it not because it i not permissible,but because it as some negative impact on the children.

On February 15,2010, a nairalander with id bilms wrote in his thread: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-398434.0.html.

quoting from his thread


The secrete agenda

I sense some conspiracy here, because from my understanding of this situation, I believe The godfather Olusola saraki is willing to continue is dominance on the people of kwara state by transferring the godfather-ism to his son ( the current Governor Bukola saraki).

both of them try to create this confusion for easy transfer of power.

The people of kwara are determined to serve Olusola Saraki to death, but he wants his dominance to extend beyond him alone,but to his generation on born. So he decided to create a scenario that will enable his son to demonstrate to the people that he his equally capable of leading the state.
The scene

(Olusola saraki named his daughter Gbemi Saraki as his next Governorship candidate and his son Bukola Sarki is opposing his father publicly. This scene will result to contention between father and the son because from all indications, Governor bukola saraki will nominate his own Governorship candidate that will contest with that of his father.

Because the people dislike the candidate of the Father, they will go for the son's candidate and this will mean that Governor Bukola nominated a candidate and he won.)

Now the prophecy fulfilled.

Bukola Saraki's candidate as won as predicted by this person and the future of kwara in question.

what do u think?

good one

If you don’t know Isolate Arafada, I wonder where you have been LOL. Years back when “Gongo Aso” album came out, Isolate dissed 9ice on a remake of “Photocopy” and caught some buzz for himself.

Born Akano Oluwadamilare Adetutu hails from Ogbomosho. Isolate signed his 1st recording deal with Mo’BB Entertainment. He recorded a hit single “Ara” under the label. This songwriter, actor, innovator and singer conveys his musical message through the use of Yoruba language. Isolate has been inspired by the likes of Epo Akara, Haruna Ishola, Baba Ara, Jimmy Cliff and Wyclef Jean. If you think 9ice is the only artiste that makes use of proverbs in his songs, Isolate is another.

He has featured in a lot tracks including the late dagrin’s hit song Gboro. He just dropped his debut album titled The Secret Arafada Vol. 1 , and I decided to give him some shine to those that haven’t heard of him before. Here are three tracks, So-bosun, the track he replied to 9ice years back to one of his tracks “photocopy” and “igo kan” and “Everyday.” I’m sure you are going to love this. (You’ll enjoy it better if you understand yoruba)

Enjoy and share your thoughts…….

The unfortunate thing is we do not do 'validity' test on the people we want to give our trust. For instance the man that is at the apogee of Nigeria's judiciary was once a classmate of GMB at a military academy in UK. He was expelled and deported back to Nigeria for cheating on an exercise. He later read law and now, at the head of the judiciary. So we see why our courts have become citadels of institutionalized corruption.
The same with BAT(bola ahmed tinubu). After the military govt of Gen Sani Abacha sacked the short-lived 3rd republic, he wanted to be the deputy gov in lagos state.
Later when that was not to be, he pruned down his ambition to being a commissioner. When that was aborted, he teamed up with NADECO! Only God knows how many trips he made to the ikoyi crescent residence of the nation's no2 in those heady days.
While abroad, those that were familiar with him, knew that he was tending his gas station business in America and not any NADECO cause.
Now the shallow, self-seeking politics is at play here again. Who is bearing the brunt, the YORUBA NATION.
A Man, whose ancestry and connection to Lagos is in doubt, has undoubtedly used lagos as the spring board for his launch to prominence. Not a problem at all, because I believe it is part of National integration for anyone to be allowed to contest for political office in any place he has chosen to live within the nation.
Nonetheles, what is abominable is using subterfuge in dealing with the people.
A few days ago, Nigerian media were awash with stories of BAT being courted by GEJ and GMB. It reminded of the 'beautiful bride' turned 'beautiful prostitute' saga of the 2nd republic!
It is commonly reported that a people deserves the kind of leadership it gets. The days are gone that people vote along party lines. What would be dominant on saturday is : who can best serve Nigeria's interest? If we trully want to be free from hegemonic powers of yore and be firmly placed on the path of true nationhood, MUHAMMADU BUHARI represents that dream!
In this contest, pedantic issues have been brought into the field to detract and distract from the core subject matter of good governance.
At the end of the day, the people are the victims. When Ibori became a victim of his own creation, he ran and found abode where he had safely starched away the vast resources of his people.
For years, on some internet fora, I was dubbed a 'Ribaduist' because of my vociferous support for his exploits at EFCC. BAT was one of the govs under his radar for sleaze.in a sudden volte face, the same BAT is now his political benefactor! He does not cut the image of a man worthy of investment of my trust and hope.
The Yoruba people can not make the same mistake of 1999, where all manner of folks were given the people's mandate because they professed Awo's philosophy. The whirlwind of 2003 could not have swept them away if they had match their grandiloquence with verifiable and dutiful service to the people. Afterall it was the former ondo state (now ekiti and ondo) that in 1983, the people ensured that their electoral hopes were not submerged in the ocean of NPN's chicanery. This time, the people could not help them because, in four years, they did not serve the people!
In 4 yrs, we have seen Fashola's salutory work. He is worthy of another term!
The YORUBA PEOPLE should not vote along the lines of party on saturday but on the man that trully represents the philosophy of the YORUBA's political patriach, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.
Kayode Ogundamisi (sankara) has written quite well about how GMB wept yesterday in the middle of his speech at the international conference center, abuja. I was there. I was the master of ceremony. I stood behind him and noticed that he stopped talking for about ten seconds and more seconds, he struggled to bring out the words; but the burden about Nigeria and the destructive super-imposition of forces weighed heavily on his gangly frame. GMB wept! Not only him, I wept too and many others in that hall and could not continue my job for the day and told my friend and brother, engr suleiman adamu to finish it for me. We wept for the massive pillaging of our commonwealth and pulverized national values by the people that we gave our trust but are negotiating away our life, our future and collective dream. We wept for our children that only know 'cash and carry' politics. We wept for the Nigerian nation that kept shutting the doors against those that are genuinely interested in helping her travails. We wept and still weeping, !
General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB) is the man that is worthy of our votes in the south west. I have promised myself: wherever I am, by saturday, I must be in S' West to deliver that ONE VOTE of mine for that amiable, affable and urbane leader that represents the beacon of hope for true Nigerians desperately desirous of change- GMB.
In unison, sai BUHARI!
God bless Nigeria.

Rotimi Fashakin.

THE AUTHENTIC LEADER FOR FREEDOM!

For three decades, Kwara state has been under political slavery which has caused mass poverty amongst the people. In 2007, our people made determined effort for freedom by voting hon. Gbenga Olawepo as governor under the umbrella of the DPP, but our political enslavers in collaboration with the then president in Abuja rigged it massively, breaking the will of our people through organized state coercion.
Hon Gbenga Olawepo did not give up; he led many of his supporters to revalidate his mandate at the tribunal up to the court of Appeal before going back to rebuild his business that has suffered for 2 years of his absence and consistent struggle on behalf of kwarans.
Among the leading candidates that contested the governorship election, he is the only one that did not return to prostrate for the kwara overlord and join his party.
Olawepo is the authentic leader, tested trusted.

THE MAN OLAWEPO
An accomplished business man with over nineteen years in business, in the oil and gas sector in Nigeria, in Europe and America, he hold a master degree in Global Affairs from the University of Buckingham United kingdom, where he was Best Student in his class, and where he broke departmental record as the first to obtain distinction in the history of Global System. For this, he was awarded the Lord Max bellof Award.
He has wide international connection which he gathered even in his student union days, being active in the International Union of Students, All Africa Students Union, and the Anti-apartheid movement (youth Solidarity for Southern Africa) where he was General Secretary. As a result of this, he has received two international awards and the Veteran award in Venezuela.
In spite of Olawepo’s international exposure, he is a grass-root man that participates actively in community activities.
He started leadership from his Secondary School in Ilorin where he was Health Prefect and elected President of the Dramatic Society. He was a parliamentarian in kwara State College of Technology, Public Relation Officer of National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) at University of Lagos.

He is also a fearless leader who had struggled for democracy in Nigeria under military rule as a result for which he was detained under the draconian decree 2 in 1989. As an activist he was founding National Administrative Secretary of the Committee for Defense of Human Right (CDHR) led then, by late Dr. Beko Ransome kuti and was also active in the National Conference Movement led in 1990 by late Alao Aka Bashorun.
At the national political level, he has solid experiences; he was National Secretary of Democratic Labour party in 1996, a party that joined hands with other progressives in G-34 to oppose late Sani Abacha and eventually formed the PDP. He was PDP first elected Deputy National Publicity Secretary in 1999. When PDP was turned to a party of thieves, and the then president started haunting the founders of the party because he planned to rule Nigeria forever, Olawepo left the party.
While he was active in the party he served as member of Convention Committee in year 2000, Secretary National Reconciliation Committee for South-South; Secretary Youth and Women Development Sub-committee of the Gen. Danjuma Led Presidential Advisory Sub-committee in 1999 and later, member PDP Constitution Review Committee. In 2003, he also served as a member of Political Advisory Committee in the office of the Political Adviser to the president. While in PDP office, Olawepo helped many Kwarans to get jobs and Federal Board appointments. He is also known to be kind and generous.
