Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), former Head of State. And Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, the Rivers State Governor declared his opinion of backing up the general, during the visit of the general at the state house.
Describing corruption has the core problem of the state, the governor satisfied that Buhari is the solution to it wholly. And also regret the illusions of Nigerians against Buhari concerning he has been tribal and religious bigot.
Quoting from his statement, Amaechi said that “The problem that you have in politics, which I have come to notice is that those who managed your image in the past did not oversee it decently. They allowed them the erroneous label of your being a religious bigot to stick. Let me take myself for example, if you accuse me once, I accuse you 20 times and then go to the media to tell them my own side of the story. Those who describe you as a religious bigot do not know you. Candidly, I used to think that way when I was in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), but all that changed when I joined the APC and had the opportunity to link up with you very closely as a politician and realized that you are truly in the genuine sense of the word”.
Due to protection concerns, the preparations for Buhari’s declaration of presidential ambition have reached feverish levels with the locale of the event (Eagles Square).

HOW TO DISCOVER TALENTS

This article’s subject matter is divided into three categories, but we will have to start our discussion on the primary factor of talent (i.e. how to discover this embedded talent). However, a youth need to know how to discover his/her talent because you can only work on what you know. The following steps will help you to discover it.

• Learn to realize those things you do when you are not conscious of them. You may say “what do I mean?” There are some things you do, and you take unimportant. You don’t put them into consideration, but you love doing them (i.e. you have the passion for them).
• The next step to take is to discover the real one. Remember, Gold how precious it is, it is found in a mix-up of different peripherals. In same sense, this talent is in a mix-up; all you do is be sensitive enough to the one you do always and love to do often. This might be the talent you are looking for.

Obasanjo not involved in the anointing…….. Northern youths

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo

Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo knew nothing about the selecting of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar or the Kano State governor, Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso by the Northern Youth Leaders Forum, which is Chairman by Comrade Elliot Afiyo. He said this yesterday, making claims that they have shortlisted these two as their Northern presidential candidate.

It was gathered that the political committee of the NYLF had submitted these names to get the body’s support. And the National Executive Council, NEC, of the Northern youth body in agreement with thee list also wants power to get back to the north.

Quoting from the National president, he said “The fact remains that Baba Obasanjo strongly believes in the forum, having got similar nod in 2003 and 2007 for our late Yar’adua. But, he is not part of any rumoured plan to favour either of the two. The forum with a total of 152 affiliated youth groups in the region will democratically choose their Presidential candidate irrespective of the party he comes from. That is why the first attempt was cancelled because it was discovered that some politicians and former   ministers infiltrated the delegates. But, this was misconstrued to mean that the leadership of the forum is supporting one out of the two. We have never been noted for this and we shall continue to keep our integrity. We shall elect one who shall get the nod of the over 60 million eligible youth and women voters in the North.”

After the confidence level of all six contestants were put to test with the cash prizes increased to N500, 000 and above, Job Emmanuel emerged as the champion of the night after knocking out Naomi Mac, who walked away with the whooping sum of N1 million at the last round.

Good goverance delivered at 54– Jonathan

Celebrating the 54th independence anniversary of Nigeria as a freed country from her colonial masters, President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, gave his administration a passmark. During his nationwide broadcast to mark the celebration, the President employs the Boko Haram sect to lay down their arms and embrace. And also ensure the safety of every Nigerian and the country’s armed forces need support to fight the terrorists.

But the President’s award of a pass mark to his administration came on a day the Mo Ibrahim Foundation released the 2014 Ibrahim Index of African Governance,  IIAG, which ranked Nigeria 37th out of 52 in the overall governance scale, rating the nation 45.8 per cent lower than the African average (51.5 per cent). The country scored lower than the regional average for West Africa which stands at 52.2 per cent and ranked 12th out of 15 in the region.

President Goodluck Jonathan (3rdR) and wife Patience cut the anniversary cake, flanked by (from L) Vice President Namadi Sambo, former Interim President Ernest Shonekan, former Head of State General Yakubu Gowon and Senate President David Mark as they celebrate Nigeria’s 54th independence anniversary in Abuja on October 1, 2014.

According to the President, his administration is committed to making Nigeria safe for all Nigerians, irrespective of their places of birth, religion and political persuasions.

“To all those waging war against our country, I ask that you lay down your arms and embrace peace. To those who have genuine grievances, I affirm that Nigeria will listen to you, if you bring your grievances to the table of dialogue,” he said.
