Calculation of the 2015 Election Across All Geo Zones

This is the calculation of one of readers about the 2015 Election..
*Northwest will continue to be an Ace State!  Here is how General Muhammadu Buhari will win it!~~   We have six zones in Nigeria

APC is leading clearly in the South West,Noth West and North East...

PDP are expected to win in South-East and South-South

Let's say the North-Central is the battle ground zone,they are six states in the zone.
Kwara,Kogi,Niger,Nasarawa,Benue and Platue...

APC is winning 3 Kwara,Kogi and Niger
While PDP is wining 3 Platue,Nasarawa and Benue(not sure of Bunue)

This simple means APC and PDP have cancelled each other in North-Central

Now this is what is going to happen..

Sokoto votes will Nulify Ebonyi votes
Kebbi votes will Nulify Enugu votes
Zamfara votes will Nulify Imo votes
Kaduna votes will Nulify Abia votes
Jigawa votes will Nulify Anambra state

Yobe will cancel out Bayelsa
Borno will cancel out Akwa-Ibom
Adamawa will cancel out Cross rivers
Katsina will cancel out Rivers
Kano will cancel out Edo and Delta

Ondo will give Ekiti upper cut

This will leave us with Lagos,Oyo,Ogun and Osun singing victory songs...

Single majority,that's all..

Change has come to Nigeria~MurtaZa Micky Yusuf<=-P Thank God.

#2015 ELECTION: "Dem Say" 9 Years School Pupil Donates Her School Fees To Buhari | See Picture


L.. 

A 9-year-old pupil of Greensprings School, Lekki campus, Nicole Benson, has officially donated her pocket money to the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari campaign team.

Benson announced the donation of N5785 (which her mother increased to N10,000 to make it a round figure) during the Town Hall meeting with Nigerian women groups on Thursday at Harbour Point, Lagos, southwest Nigeria.

She also read the letter she wrote pledging the donation a month ago to APC Presidential campaign team, to the admiration of the audience.

The money was received by the Director-General of the Fund Raising Committee and Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, who thanked the young child with a handshake to the applause of the audience.

Her letter read:

Dear APC and Governor Fashola,

My name is Nicole Benson. I am 9 years old. The name of my school is Greensprings School Lekki campus and I am in year 4. I want to be a doctor when I grow up so that I can take care of people who are sick and dying because they take care of me when I am sick.

Governor Fashola and APC, I was listening to the radio on my way to school today and I heard that we can send money to you to help you to win the election. My mummy said that I can donate from N100 so that we can help APC to raise the money to win the election and remove President Goodluck Jonathan so that Mr Buhari and Professor Osinbajo can be the new president and assistant president and be able to help Nigeria to fight the Boko Haram people who are killing innocent children and also bring back the Chibok girls so that their mummies and daddies can be happy.

Governor Fashola and APC, please don’t you think that N100 is too small. I have the new N100 notes but I am sorry I will not be able to give it to you because I only have one and I want to keep it in my wallet. But I have N5785 that I saved from my lunch money and pocket money and toothfairy money. I know it’s my mummy giving the toothfairy the money to give me because I found my tooth in her wallet last year and I want to give you all my money that I saved so that you can win in February. I have N5785 and also N8 but the N8 is in coins and it’s only in Shoprite that they gave me so I want to go and spend it there. I wanted to buy my inhaler disk but my daddy has bought another new one for me. I have given my mummy the money and she put it on her card to pay it on your website and she paid it now. I wish I could get more money for you but that will be next week when I get more lunch money from my daddy and toothfairy can’t give me any more money because all my teeth have all grown back. I can still save more money for you and give you in February.

Please help me give some of the money to Mr Ambode too so that he can win Mr Jimmy Agbaje. I like Mr Ambode very much.

I wish you goodluck not Goodluck Jonathan but best of luck and please you can call my mummy’s number if you need me to send the money I want to save for you. But you will have to give me some time to save it.

Please say hello to Mr Ambode Mr Buhari and Professor Osinbajo for me.

Nicole Eniiyi Benson

According to Enitan Benson, Nicole’s mummy, “she insisted on typing the above mail herself so I have decided not to make any corrections.

“I agreed with her to help round her contribution to N10,000. I tried sending the money on the http://www.apcgmbpyo.org/ site but keep getting an error message. I’ll try again later and if it still doesn’t go through, I’ll go to the bank tomorrow (today).

“Please, if there’s an alternative payment method I would like to know as she keeps checking every other minute to see if her donation has been sent.

“My family and I are proud APC members! ‪#‎change. Thank you

Lagos Guber,. Candidate, Jimi Agbaje in Adultery Mess …Impregnates Nollywood Actress Folake Shadare



- She was never pregnant for me – Agbaje

 Unconfirmed gist reaching Tarahtalks.blogspot.com has it that, the Lagos guber candidate under People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Jimi Agbaje aka JK is allegedly in secret romance with youthful Yoruba actress, Folake Shadare Atie.

"Wind" got  it that, unknown to most people Jimi Agbaje was once the centre of a sizzling romance with the actress, which resulted in a pregnancy mess.

“A couple of years back, Folake and Jimi became intimately close and in a matter of months, news filtered out that the actress was three months pregnant and the father to be was J.K. Some of Folake’s friends advised her to keep the baby, but J.K would hear nothing of sort.

Folake Shadare Atie who joined the league of actresses who are proud owners of a classic boutique couple of years back located in busy Egbeda-Akwojowo road known as Flaky World is not ashamed of her sizzling romance with the guber candidate.

It was alleged that after much pressure, J.K paid Folake N1.2M to take care of herself but nobody knows what later happened to the pregnancy.Weeks after, Folake bought herself a Toyota Jeep, Rav 4. That was more than enough consolation for her part in the relationship I guess. #lol

However, another source revealed that, when it became obvious that Jimi Agbaje would fly the flag of the PDP in Lagos State, Folake became very excited and became the rallying point for the politician within the Yoruba movie world.

“She is the brain behind the ‘Artistes For Jimi Agbaje,’ campaign, she rallied some of her friends for support, though the support was marginal because of the allegiance of most of the cultivated Yoruba movie stars to the APC and its candidate, Mr. Akinwunim Ambode,” said the source.

The Jimi Agbaje’s camp is however denying this romance story, which they believe originated from the APC to not only destroy Jimi Agbaje’s peaceful home, but his chances of been elected in the coming elections.

EXPLICIT CONTENT AND IMAGES] 10 BEST SEX POSITIONS FOR GUARANTEED ORGASM


We have seven positions that have been tweaked and tailored by sex experts to help you reach orgasm every single time — plus, a few extra tricks so the road to bliss is even more of a sure thing.


1. When it’s a mind-blowing, bed-rattling orgasm you’re after, keeping it simple is absolutely key. Sure, wild, crazy, never-knew-my-body-could-bend-that-way booty keeps your lust life exciting, but if the goal of the moment is to break pleasure records, you have to stick to the basics. “Trying to accomplish complicated acrobatics distracts you from the sex itself, putting your focus on how you can contort yourself, rather than on just experiencing the sensations,” explains sex educator Dorian Solot, coauthor of I (Heart) Female Orgasm. “When you want to climax, the simplest positions are often also the best positions, and with a few modifications, you can make them even more orgasm inducing than they already are.” Don’t worry, we’d never leave you hanging. Here, Cosmo custom-designed some of the carnal classics to make sure you always hit the high notes.

2. You’ll never see missionary position the same way again. “While on your back, put a pillow under your butt, lift your hips, and bring your legs up and back toward your shoulders, as though you’re folding in half,” says Solot. This move allows him better ease of thrusting and deeper penetration — a perk for both of you. Plus, it can stimulate your G-spot. But consider this a warm-up — you’re getting the zone primed for a more intense orgasm. Once your G-spot feels sufficiently stroked, put your legs down and have him get into coital-alignment-technique (CAT) position. “He’s on top, but he lifts his pelvic bone upward, aligning it with your clitoris,” says sex therapist Gloria Brame, PhD. “Then he rocks against the area until you peak.” “The legs-up position is a slow burn that brings you to the brink and increases sensitivity. Then the addition of clitoral rubbing takes you over the edge in a bigger way than if you had done CAT alone,” adds Brame.


3. You’ve probably tried an all-fours pose before (at least, we hope you have!). But while mentally the doggie-style position has great bad-girl benefits, in order to make it actually orgasmic, you need to modify it a bit. “Lie on your stomach, lifting your butt slightly so he can enter you,” suggests Solot. “Your partner can prop himself up with his hands in a push-up position or lie on top of you.” Not only does this facedown configuration provide increased friction as he moves in and out, but you can gently grind your clitoral area against the bed as well.

4. With all the twisting and bending that goes on, sometimes sex can feel more like a cardio workout than a pleasurefest. That’s why it’s important to have at least one relaxed orgasm — inducing position in your repertoire. Such as this: “While you’re on your back, he should lie on his side, turned toward you,” explains Solot. “Swing both legs over his hips and thighs, making a bridge over them.” Then, just let him gently thrust into you. If it takes you a while to climax, this pose is ideal. “It’s not very aerobic, so the sex can go on for a long time without either of you tiring out,” says Laura Berman, PhD, director of the Berman Center and author of The Passion Prescription. “When you want to climax, it’s easy to touch yourself or he can use his top hand to stimulate you.”

5. Girl-on-top tends to be a go-to for achieving orgasm…and for good reason! “It allows you to dictate the pace and depth of thrusting, but mainly, you have easy access to your clitoris,” says Berman. “You can touch your C-spot, have him touch it, or rub against his pubic bone to achieve orgasm.” But you can up the ante by literally pulling a 180. Twist around so you’re pointed toward his feet in reverse cowgirl position. “Instead of straddling him, put your legs together, feet flat between his legs,” suggests Brame. The benefits of this are twofold: With your legs together, the fit is even tighter, making the sensations more intense. Plus, there’s increased G-spot stimulation, which combined with your own clitoral strokes, makes for an explosive orgasm.

6. In some cases, a simple change of scenery can aid in achieving orgasm. For this move, you’ll need a kitchen table — one that comes to your man’s waist. “Lie down on the table with your butt near the edge,” suggests Solot. “He enters you while standing between your legs, holding on to your hips for leverage.” You can rest your feet on his shoulders or on the edge of the table. Because he’s standing, his hands are free to stroke your body,” says Brame. “And he’s at a perpendicular angle, rather than right on top of you, making it easier for him to touch your clitoris, unobstructed.” To up your odds of orgasming, clench and lift up your butt, which will increase the pelvic tension and blood flow to the area.

7. This one’s always a fan favorite — he sits and you straddle him so you’re face-to-face. “You have a lot of control over the speed, angle, and motion because you can use your arms and legs to help you maneuver,” says Berman. “Rather than just moving up and down, which can be especially tiring for you, sway forward and back, rubbing your clitoral area against him.” In addition to the freedom of movement, there are a few other benefits to this booty move. “If you lean back just a little bit, you’ll get greater G-spot stimulation and he’ll be able to play with your clitoris,” Brame explains. Plus, your breasts will be perfectly aligned with his mouth, adding a whole other layer to the sexual experience.


8. Obviously, you know emotional attachment is essential to achieving orgasm with your guy. And there’s no configuration that’s more snuggly than the spoon. To assume the position, simply lie on your side, your guy scooted up behind you. Rather than move in and out, he should stay inside you, gently thrusting against the front wall of your vagina. “Aside from fulfilling your cuddly needs, it provides consistent stimulation to your G-spot, which is key for achieving orgasm from intercourse,” Berman points out. “Since he may not be able to penetrate you as deeply though, guide his hand around your hot spot.” And just think: Once you’ve both climaxed, you’ll be in perfect postcoital position as well.

9. When it comes to achieving supreme pleasure, being in the right mind-set is half the battle.

Let your thoughts wander. It helps to transport yourself mentally to a sexy place. Fantasize that you’re getting it on in a lust-inspiring locale or even with another man, like a hot trainer at your gym or, hell, Justin Timberlake. No guilt — it doesn’t mean you want to cheat on your guy.

Strengthen your senses. Certain smells and sounds can have a Pavlovian affect on your libido. Think about what puts you in the mood, and then designate an enhancer that will signal to your brain and body that it’s time to get naughty. For example, before sex, put on a sultry jazz CD.

10. Be selfish. Worrying too much about your guy’s pleasure means you wind up ignoring your own. So silence the inner monologue of “How am I doing?” and simply enjoy the experience. Otherwise, it becomes more work than play.

Stay on course. A stressful day’s memories can still manage to sneak up on you, even when you’re mid-mattress session. To stay in the moment, try to focus your thoughts purely on the physical and pay attention to how every touch, lick, and stroke feels.

Court Sacks PDP Candidate Imam, Reinstates Gambo Lawan

Gambo Lawan

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Wednesday ordered the removal of the Peoples Democractic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Borno State, Alhaji Mohammed Imam on the grounds that he was not validly elected at the party's primary election held in December 2014 in Abuja.

In his place, the presiding judge, Ahmed Mohammed ordered the reinstatement of Alhaji Gambo Lawan as the validly elected candidate of the PDP, directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to immediately recognize Lawan as the legitimate candidate of the party in Borno State ahead of the April 11 rescheduled elections.

Lawan had filed a case at the conventional court challenging his substitution by the PDP after he won the primary election on December 11 that was affirmed by delegates in the presence of major stakeholders of the PDP.  They included ‎Vice-President Namadi Sambo; Senate President David Mark; PDP National Chairman, Adamu Muazu; ‎Chairman PDP Board of Trustees, Tony Anenih; the Borno State PDP Chairman; the Minister of State for Power, Muhammed Wakil, who is the leader of the PDP in Borno State;  BOT members and other stakeholders from Borno State.

Lawan argued that the INEC presented him with a certificate of return as candidate but that on December 24 while the name was being submitted to the INEC by the PDP National headquarters in Abuja, it was was wrongly removed and replaced with that of Alhaji Imam.

Lawan, who is a former Chairman of the Grassroots Democratic  Movement (GDM) as well as ex-Chairman of Maiduguri Metropolitan Council, had picked the party’s governorship ticket at a process in Abuja personally supervised by President Goodluck Jonathan following his intervention to resolve the lingering disagreement over the PDP governorship ticket in the state.  The problem arose from having numerous aspirants from the old PDP members and some from former Governor Ali Modu Sheriff, who had defected to the PDP from the APC and wanted to have a substantial stake.

However, after a meeting with President Jonathan at that time, the party adopted Lawan as its candidate after which delegates were conveyed to Abuja for a primary election that saw them ratifying Lawan's choice before INEC officials. The commission then presented him with his certificate of return. 

On the eve of the submission of parties’ governorship flagbearers to the INEC, the PDP National Chairman, Muazu, substituted Lawan’s name with that of Imam, a nominee of Senator Sheriff. It was learnt that Muazu acted on the orders of President Jonathan, who wanted to please Ali Modu Sheriff, although it was illegal.

Pioneer members of the PDP vehemently stood against the decision, defying all efforts by the President to have them support Sheriff's choice, Alhaji Imam.

The PDP members insisted that Sheriff had taken too much, given that they had conceded two out of three Senatorial candidate seats to his supporters; 6 out of 10 House of Representatives seats; 19 out of 28 Assembly seats.  He had also been given the slot for the deputy Governorship besides an agreement reached to split State, local governments and ward executives ‎of the party in a 60-40 ratio, with Sheriff to take 40 percent.

No More Polls Shift - INEC Assure Nigerians!


The Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Attahiru Jega has assured Nigerians that there will not be any further postponement of the rescheduled general election.

Jega gave the assurance on Wednesday, at an inter­active session with the Civil Society Situation Room, a coalition of over 60 civil society organisations, in Abuja.

The INEC Chairman stated that the Commission was fully prepared for the exercise while he disclosed that 11 states have, so far, achieved over 90 per cent Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) collection, because INEC maximised the six-week extension of the polls. “We are now, adequately, prepared for the elections, which have been rescheduled to March 28 and April 11.

And I want to say that I’ve not seen any indication from anywhere that there is a desire for another postponement of this election.

So, we are all focused on March 28 and April 11. “Soon after we announced the rescheduling of the elections, the Com­mission met and decided on how best to utilize this period of extension for six weeks.

I Am The President In Waiting - NCP Flag Bearer


Chief Martin Onovo

The Presidential Candidate of the NCP, Chief Martin Onovo, says he is “the President in waiting if the 2015 presidential election is free, fair and credible.” Onovo made the assertion in Lagos on Thursday while speaking with a correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). “We are the oldest party in Nigeria and we are the party of the Nigerian people.

There is no party that can defeat NCP in a free and fair election. If you compare us with other parties in Nigeria, NCP cannot be defeated, if the election is contested according to the law and votes counted, I am the president in waiting. There is no question about it that I am the president in waiting,’’ the youthful presidential hopeful said. According to him, the general elections present the country a golden opportunity to make the right decisions. “There is no doubt that the quality of leadership we get determines how well we manage our challenges,” he stated.

Onovo urged political stakeholders to comply with the nation’s electoral laws to foster the development of democracy. He also spoke on the increasing level of violence in the build up to the March 28 and April 11 elections. On the Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs) and card readers, the presidential candidate said that the PVCs and card readers would increase the integrity of the elections. “After the field test of PVCs and card readers conducted by INEC and the promises made by INEC to address all the issue raised, we feel more confident about the PVCs and card readers.

We want the PVCs to be used but we don’t want them to fail because if they fail it is as good as not using them. So we call on INEC to make sure that the card readers don’t fail. We are sure that what we have currently is not democracy, so the PVCs, if properly and effectively used, will lead us to democracy.” Onovo said that rigging an election was worse than military coup, arguing that the card reader would eliminate electoral fraud. On the deployment of soldiers for elections,

Onovo said that the court judgment against the use of the military should be appealed by INEC. “The military has always supported internal security operations during elections. I find the court judgment queer. But because we believe in the rule of law, that judgement must be respected, what INEC needs to do is to go to the superior court and vacate that judgment. “If we are going to have resemblance of an election, we need very robust security so military back up should be there. I have no objection to military presence during the polls.

So that court judgment should be vacated. INEC needs to appeal that judgment if they have not done so,” he said. According to him, the NCP will abolish poverty in the country by providing employment and social services to reduce the cost of living. Onovo said that the party had offered to increase the minimum wage by reducing the maximum wage.

 He said that the party would not align with any other party but must stand by its fundamental values of truth, integrity, justice and national development. The presidential hopeful urged the media to be fair, objective and faithful to its constitutional mandate. Onovo also advised voters to ensure that they voted to enable those they voted into office to secure better future for everyone.

We Made Jega Shift Election Because It Was Clear Buhari Would Win On February 14th - Fasheun




Leader of Oodua People's Congress (OPC), Dr. Fredrick Fasheun has exposed himself as one of those behind the plot to shift the 2015 presidential poll date from February 14 to March 28th, claiming that had the election held on February 14th "rigging had been perfected for General Muhammadu Buhari".

According to the source, Nigeria's Federal Government and ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) had offered the excuse that the Nigerian troops were to carry out a special operations against insurgents in the Northeast apparently to buy some time for the PDP to work out a winning formula for President Goodluck Jonathan to win the election at all cost.

Speaking during a Post National Conference gathering sponsored by Ondo State Gov. Olusegun Mimiko, Dr. Fasheun bragged that when it became clear that President Jonathan was going to lose the election he called a few influential people and urged them to shift the election date, he said that fortunately they listened to him and the election date was shifted. The revelation by Dr. Fasheun shows that President Jonathan had used the Boko Haram fight as an alibi to further his political ambition.

THEME : SIN-DOMINATED?

Memorise:

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:14

READ : Romans 6:1-6,

1 WHAT shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR : HOSEA 1-5 and MATHEW 5:43-6:15

Message

Mankind is the epitome of God’s creative art. He was created by God to have dominion over all things (Genesis 1:26).

God did not design man for sin, neither should sin have dominion over man (Romans 6:14). Sin is an enemy. It is our most persistent, determined and pernicious enemy.

Sin seeks to rob us of every good thing God has designed for us. It is very subtle, bringing death and creeping into our lives when and where we least expect it.

It packages itself so attractively that we are lured into thinking that it cannot really harm us.

Sin is undoubtedly a weight.

In Hebrews 12:1, Christians are likened to sprinters:

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,”

The competition before us is fierce as sin stealthily and relentlessly tries to entangle our lives. We will never be able to run the race marked out for us as long as we are entrapped in sin. Anyone who is born of God has a nature that should not sin (1st John 3:8-10).

However, children of God fall into sin by not being watchful. Sin should be recognised for what it is. Some people engaged in self-deception. They call sin a mistake, a bad habit or a weakness. Sin is more than these. It is cancerous, terrible and results in outright destruction.

Sin must be admitted and tackled at its root. It is dangerous to blame your sins on others; neither must you allow pride to convince you that it is too humiliating to admit the sin in your life. Sin can blind a person to its presence. It does not always command people’s attention, but rather, it subtly and pervasively robs one of spiritual power and victory.

Are you living in sin? Are you deeply and dangerously entangled in it? There is good news for you: there is no extent to which sin can entangle us that God’s grace does not abound to free us from it.

Romans 5:20 says,
“Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:”

Has sin robbed you of joy? Do you go about life in a manner that is moody and melancholy? Has sin prevented you from being the best husband, wife, son, daughter, friend, minister, boss or subordinate you ought to be? Is it keeping you from spiritual maturity and fulfilment in life, business, marriage and ministry?

If you have become entangled with sin, God can release you immediately! He however requires repentance from you. Harden not your heart. Repent and recommit your life to Jesus Christ now.

Prayer point :

Father, grant me grace to live above sin, Satan and all his allied forces in Jesus’ Name.

The incident is said to have happened around 12:30 a.m at Yenaka Community, a coastal settlement in Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa state .
The gunmen took Agama to an unknown destination after abandoning the boat they arrived the scene of the incident with. 

Police has confirmed the case, adding that it received a distress call from his father, Maxwell Agama, after his son was taken away.
The perpetrators are yet to contact Agama’s family for a ransom.

Don't Be Afraid Of Jail: Buhari's Wife To Dame Jonathan


Mrs Buhari (left) & Dame Jonathan (right)

Remember when First Lady Patience Jonathan, while campaigning, told the crowd that voting for APC means voting to go to prison as the APC presidential candidate was planning to jail political opponent if he wins the election and she can't be visiting her husband in prison?
Well, Buhari's wife subtly clapped back at the First Lady during a women's rally in Edo State today.

According to Vanguard, Mrs Buhari addressed this, saying people shouldn't be afraid, that they were only interested in change. She also addressed the notion that her husband is a religious fanatic. 

Each zone of the country has its peculiar problem. For me in this zone, girl-child trafficking should be considered one of our problems, though I know there is unemployment. Unemployment is the major factor that contributes to brain drain and also the girl-child trafficking. General Muhammadu Buhari is a leader who led Nigeria some decades ago and he is coming back now to sanitise the system.. For those that are campaigning, saying that he is coming to jail Nigerians, I don’t know what their fear is. But they shouldn’t be afraid, because we are all yearning for change. 

The insecurity in the country, the very poor healthcare system, lack of education and other basic necessities that people are lacking I believe Nigerians need somebody like General Muhammadu Buhari now. Already, they have painted him black, using religion. I’m happy today that Nigerians realize that they use religion as a cover to loot Nigeria. 

Any politician who talks to you about religion is a liar, he only wants to loot the treasury and the little resources you ought to enjoy.So say no politics merging it with religion to deceive the people. I’m here today to let Edo women know that when my husband is elected into office as President, all these will be history. 

The insecurity, the girl-child trafficking, suffering of the widows in the South East will come to an end. There must be a cultural design that can accommodate the widow. A design that would make the girl-child comfortable wherever she is in this country. She doesn’t have to leave her country to go and prostitute elsewhere, it’s not her portion. Her portion is to have a highly standard and moral society for her to live in. 

Get married, have children, train them and also mould them to become the future leaders. We are here today to also let you know that the collection of your PVCs is important and don’t ever sell it. It’s like selling your future. If you sell it for N5,000, you won’t see N5,000 again until after four years which will be bad. Get your PVC, vote for APC, vote for freedom, vote for a new Nigeria with good security, good education, good healthcare, good roads and all the basic necessities.”

UNIPORT Refuses To Release Jonathan’s Doctorate Details


The University of Port Harcourt has declined a Freedom of Information, FOI, request for the doctorate degree records of President Goodluck Jonathan.

In a response to the Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, a Rivers State-based civil society organization, the university said a request for President Jonathan’s academic records did not fall within the provisions of the FOI law according to  Premium Times

“The Management of the University has carefully considered your request vis-a-vis the FOI Act,” the university stated in their letter dated 26th February, 2015, and signed by Eric Loveday Osuo Abonemi, the institution’s Legal Officer.

“It is my instructions to inform you that your request does not come within the relevant provisions of the FOI Act for its practicability or for the University to provide such details as requested.

“Details of the Ph.D Degree of President Goodluck Jonathan in the University of Port Harcourt cannot therefore be made available to you.”

The Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law had filed an FOI request, three weeks ago, to the university seeking relevant details of Mr. Jonathan’s doctorate qualifications.

The letter requested the following information relating to the president’s doctorate qualification, citing the provisions of Sections 2 and 4 of the FOI Act, 2011:

1. The title of the president’s doctorate dissertation

2. Year of registration as a doctorate candidate

3. Name of his doctorate supervisor(s)

4. Name of his external examiner(s)

5. Comments/reports of the external examiner of the dissertation/thesis

6. Photocopy of the dissertation/thesis

7. Date of graduation from the university

The organization said it was willing to bear any cost the university might incur in making photocopies of the requested documents and for posting them.

President Jonathan was admitted into the Department of Zoology (now renamed Animal and Environmental Biology), University of Port Harcourt, in 1977, where he graduated with Second Class Honours (Upper Division).

In 1985, Mr. Jonathan obtained a Master of Science degree in Hydrobiology and Fisheries, and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Zoology 10 years later.

Both degrees were also from the University of Port Harcourt.

Lately, Mr. Jonathan’s academic qualifications have come under increased scrutiny ahead of the forthcoming general elections. Critics have accused the president of failing to complete his doctorate programme.

In a response to an enquiry by Punch Newspaper in January, the university dismissed such claims as having “neither legs nor grounds to stand on”.

The university had also told any person or organization seeking additional information on Mr. Jonathan’s qualifications to contact the school authorities.

“We have absolutely nothing to hide as an institution that has a statutory mandate to advance the frontiers of knowledge,” William Wodi, the university’s Deputy Registrar (Information), had told the newspaper.

It is unclear why the university declined to release Mr. Jonathan’s academic qualifications to the civil society organization after giving that commitment.

Jiti Ogunye, a Lagos-based lawyer, said the president’s academic records ought to be freely available in the university and not be “opaque or hidden”.

“The FOI is applicable to the academic records of a public officer whose academic records are being requested by a Nigerian citizen or a nongovernmental organization duly registered in Nigeria with a view to promoting accountability and transparency in government,” Mr. Ogunye said.

“The academic records of the president are not the medical records of the president in which case a medical officer can say the FOI is exempted, or the records between a lawyer and his client which are covered by the confidentiality rule.”

WHAT THE FOI ACT SAYS

According to Section 14(1) of the FOI ACT, subject to subsection (2), a public institution must deny an application for information that contains personal information and information exempted under this subsection includes:

(a) files and personal information maintained with respect to clients, patients, residents, students, or other individuals receiving social, medical, educational, vocation, financial, supervisory or custodial care or services directly or indirectly from public institutions;…

(2) A public institution shall disclose any information that contains personal information if –

(a) the individual to whom it relates consents to the disclosure; or

(b) the information is publicly available

(3) Where disclosure of any information referred to in this section would be in the public interest, and if the public interest in the disclosure of such information clearly outweighs the protection of the privacy of the individual to whom such information relates, the public institution to whom request for disclosure is made shall disclose such information subject to Section 14(2) of this Act.

Mr. Ogunye said that an institution might attempt to hide under Section 14(1)(a) to decline disclosure of information.

“My argument is, this information is publicly available and ought to be disclosed. The president has said he obtained his Ph.D in that institution, so it’s publicly available,” Mr. Ogunye said.

“So why will an institution refuse to disclose an information that is publicly available? The university has acted wrongly and can be compelled by the suit of the non-governmental organization concerned to disclose the information.”

THEME : SANCTIFICATION PRECEDES DIVINE COMMISIONING

Memorise:

If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work. 2nd Timothy 2:21

Read: John 17:13-19

13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: DANIEL Daniel 11:12 and MATHEW 5:21-42

Message

The most important thing a person needs is to be born-again (John 3:3). From personal experience and from the experience of others, certain things give you the assurance that you are born-again. If you are born-again, you stop thinking about yourself alone.

You stop thinking only about what Jesus can do for you but also of what you can do for Jesus. This was the case with Paul after he met the Lord in Act 9:6:

“And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.”

You also begin to think about restitution (Luke 19:8), and you begin to serve God with the same vigour with which you served the devil (Acts 9:20-22).

After you are saved, you need to be sanctified before you can be divinely commissioned for service. An unsanctified believer is susceptible to backsliding, hence the need for sanctification. The state of the human heart before salvation is one of the reason why sanctification is necessary.
Jeremiah 17:9 reveals that:

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”

Every person is born with a heart that is desperately wicked, and every of our actions originate from the heart (Matthew 15:19-20).

Sanctification changes the nature of a person’s heart (Ezekiel 36:26-27). Many people who were one born-again backslide because of their failure to get sanctified.

A backslider is worse than a sinner who has never been saved. Backsliding is horrible. It can be likened to a dog going back to it vomit. Worldliness can cause a Christian worker to backslid. Demas was an example of a Christians worker who backslid because of his attachment to the things of this world (Philemon 24, 2nd Timothy 4:10)

The ability to live holy is given by God. Jesus died for our sanctification. When a person is sanctified, he or she begins to think like Jesus. You forgive like Jesus and like Him, you become humble.

You develop a servant-spirit and you become obedient and meek (Matthew 11:29). To become sanctified, you must believe that it is possible to live holy (1st Peter 1:15-16). You must then admit that you cannot do it without the assistance of the Holy Spirit (John 15:5).

Finally, ask God to remove the heart of stone from you and replace it with a heart of flesh.

Prayer point ;

Father, sanctify me wholly; give me a heart of flesh that is in line with your nature.
