BEATING THE DRUM OF WAR BY MALAM EL-RUFAI

Harris Eluwah

Hear the good news from one of the navigators of a New Nigeria, a moral compass and a chieftain of A*P*C* Malam El-Rufai, the one and only feather rougher in Nigeria.The Bulldozer extra-ordinary.
“The next election is likely to be violent and many people are likely going to die. And the only alternative left to get power is to take it by force, this is the reality on the ground.”
Can somebody pass on this message to the Bulldozer, yes there will be violent, yes people will die, but the only condition Nigerians will join in the destruction of life and property is on the following conditions:-

Malam Nasir El-Rufai will be in front.
His wife and children will follow.
All his friends in APC will join,
Then other Nigerians who want to die will follow them.

Anybody who is calling for violent protest, with his family safely tucked away in Europe and America, having fat oversea bank account to take care of them, is a fraud. Nobody should listen to them at all.
Those who pushed us to die during June 12, both for and against, are now united by corruption and doing what they know how to do best. Those who died, or maimed remain losses to their immediate family, not remembered by the activists, nor the government. Shine your eyes Nigerians, No Nigerian politician is worth dying for. If you die, you die for nothing.Enough innocent blood has already been shed in the country.
Please share this post as soon as you finish reading.
Pass the message around, don't risk you life for these politicians just because they gave you N5,000 from your money which they stole. If you die in whatever disguise, your family will suffer. Think of your children, wife and dependent relatives. A word is enough for the wise. QED REFLECTION ON THE STATE OF THE NIGERIA: Happy reading:-

When this man was in government and in position of authority, he used the power within the law to render many homeless, the small statured man became a terror and stepped on toes, to the extent that the fear of El-Rufai is the beginning of wisdom of developers and builders in Abuja. He was nick-named the Bulldozer. When he left office he thought that the power was still with him, and continued to speak and do business as usual, believing that he can get away with anything. Events of the past few days has mystified the "Bulldozer" and like all mortals, he has suddenly realized that power has changed hands. The hunter is now being hunted like a common criminal. waoo. How I wish others could learn that there is  limit to adult rascality. I don't know what lesson they are teaching the youth of Nigeria, the utterances of Nigerian politicians seeking for power is being reordered, no thanks to modern technology. Whenever they enter office they should be ready to receive the same measure of insult, abuse,blackmail, reddecling, and outright threat to their position, and they should note that they are bound by natural law not to react negatively, if they do we shall roll out what they did when they were seeking for office. Power comes from God and He will give it to whomever he wants. We pretend we are practicing democracy which to me is laughable. The conduct of our politicians have turned the giant of Africa into a laughing stock among the comity of Nations. The Democrats in USA knew that if they had attempted to replace Obama with another candidate they would have lost the last election with a wide margin. Not so in Nigeria where the ruling party has been reduced to a huge joke by its greedy, selfish, and self-centered members, who have entered into bond and oath that Goodluck Jonathan will voluntarily step aside, not because he is not performing but because he is from a minority tribe and an affront to those born to rule. To appease them, the shoeless boy from Otuke has given all sensitive position in this government to them, a quick look at the present position which is verifiable will suffice, Check this out, and see if they would have conceded these juice positions to others if they are in power:-

Vice President -North.**Senate President -North.**Speaker House of Reps - North.**PDP National

Chairman - North.**Head of Service - North.**INEC Chairman - North. **Inspector General of

Police - North.**CBN Governor - North.**Chief Justice of federation - North.**President Court of

Appeal - North.**EFCC Chairman - North.**President Federal high court - North. **National

Security Adviser - North.**Chief of Defence Staff - North.**Controller, Customs Service -

North.**Controller Prison Services - North.**Richest man in Africa - North.**85% of Petroleum

Marketers in Nigeria - Northerners.**83% of Oil Block Owners in Nigeria - Northerners.**99% of

 Now, ask yourself, what is the problem with those born to rule who want Jonathan out, not by constitutional means. In my opinion Jonathan has performed creditable well in the face out outright sabotage of his laudable programmes to redeem Nigeria. The total amount that has been spent to prosecute BOKO HARAM is enough to transform the entire Northern Region and give them a fresh lease of life. Outside the Boko Haram spendings, the distraction caused the administration of Goodluck Jonathan by the collective force of Northern Politicians  is capable of derailing any administration. As if that is not enough, ex-political office holders who had 8 years to repair the Nation but failed woofully are now back in the trenches doing what they know how to do best. PHD ( Pull Him Down) by all means available, simple because their source of free income has been stopped, and life outside office has become a nightmare to them.The lattest trick is to create fear in the minds of Nigerians, implying that if they did not get into office either by crook or force, the country will go up in flames which to me is a lie from the pit of hell. Nigeria is bigger than any section or individual aspiration. Nobody has the exclusive of violence in the country today. and what is more modern warfare is not fought like the past where Biafrans used the crud Ogbunigwe. It is much more sophisticated than that. No country in history has ever survived two civil wars, and Nigeria can not be an exceptional, so those beating the drums of war should watch the documentary of current crisis in Egypt and the refugee of Syria and get a little idea or modern war. A replay of what transpired before the death of Gaddafi in Libya will also help.

Finally, Nigeria is our own, we have no other country that we can call ours except this one. There is no known alternative to PEACE any where on earth. Peace is never achieved at the battle field or war front, its only on a round table. Let us seek peace and pursue it. It is not a do or die affair, President Jonathan told everybody who care to hear that his 2015 ambition is not worth any Nigerian's blood and I tend to agree with him on this. INEC has released time table for the 2015 election, if you are not satisfied with Oga Jona, tha'ts your right, vote him out, he will not be the first or last incumbent to loose election, it happened recently in ~Ghana. Lets do it with love, the loser and winner are both Nigerian, and whosoever win owe us good governance. Once again may we all agree that "A NEW NIGERIA IS POSSIBLE IN OUR GENERATION, IT BEGINS WITH YOU AND ME CHANGING OUR MINDS SET" With God on our side we shall reach the Eldorado Shalom!!!!

FG Commended on Improvements at Nigerian Airports. 

(Reported by ThisDay Newspaper on Tuesday, 28th January, 2014)

By Chinedu Eze

The Programme Chairperson of one of the world’s leading capacity building institutes in the United States of America, Empowerment Plus, Prof. Sheila Wall has commended the Federal Government on the infrastructural improvement in the nation’s airports, especially the Murtala Muhammed Internatuonal, Lagos.

Wall also hailed the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah for the remodelling of the Lagos airport, which she said, showed so much improvement compared to the last time she visited Nigeria.

Wall gave the commendations while speaking to journalists in Lagos.
“I am impressed with what I saw in Nigerian airport now compared to what it was seven years ago when I led a team of scholars to Nigeria. I was totally dismayed by the infrastructural deficit of Nigerian airports that I saw seven years ago. The then terminals exposed the disturbing level of total neglect. The navigational facilities were death traps and one of my colleagues described the situation as airspace safety catastrophe,” she said.

Wall, however, described the current state of infrastructure at the airport as a great milestone for the Ministry of Aviation, saying this a complete turnaround.
“I hope the authorities will sustain this level of development in other key sectors of the economy,” she stated.

To attract favourable rating by international community, she said that Nigerian leadership must see the need for operational infrastructures as a road map to address developmental challenges.

Asked to comment on the recent scandal of car purchase involving Oduah, Wall
said, “You know that your people who were benefiting from the deplorable conditions of Nigeria airports will not be happy to welcome this achievement. There must be a premeditated, choreographic and coordinated scripts to derail this good improvement Probably those who have siphoned the money meant for airports upgrade in the past were fighting back and the leadership may end up being smeared. Your Minister of Aviation and her team needed to be commended and not crucified for making a difference. This is a clear indication that Nigerian will get it right with capable hands on deck.”

While urging Nigerian media to promote Nigeria, she said, “You have to promote good things about your country. It is an essential obligation for you as journalists to be balanced, ethical and investigative in your reports. You have to report or write about good things recorded in your country not only bad things. Some of these stories are relied upon by academicians, scholars, researchers and policymakers in presenting the key indicators or position of your country before the international community."

NIGERIA ACTING HIS MASTERS VOICE!!!

 

(HIS MASTERS VOICE)

Nigerian Media is being misled

By Ayuba Mohammed

The APC gets the best media coverage in Nigeria today and they determine the agenda for the nation's politically motivated media. This is an unfortunate trend by any standard.

Today, it is extremely difficult to hear the government's viewpoint in any of the private media houses. The views perpetually thrust on Nigerians are those of the opposition.

The implication being that the agenda before the ordinary Nigerians is that the Federal Government is doing nothing and the President knows nothing. These media practitioners have been fed this line of thought repeatedly, that they appear to believe same.

Believing the opposition obviously false propaganda has led to a situation where there is no more balanced reports anywhere in Nigeria.

One example will suffice. The reportage of the on-going Rivers political crisis. Any careful observer will notice that the media has been compromised. Most electronic and print media have their headquarters in Lagos, but they prefer to fly to Port Harcourt to report press releases and tapes released by Amaechi.

They however, ignore the festering and deadly APC conflict in Ogun State. In that neighbouring state, the governor is the aggressor, using thugs to harass serving senators and House of Representatives members. These Federal Lawmakers have written complaint letters to no avail, while policemen and political opponents have been injured. Sadly, Ogun is a no go area for the Nigerian media because it is controlled by APC and the APC controls the media.

The orderly of a serving Senator was shot while defending his boss, but it received no attention. A TV station lied that Senator Abe was shot at close range with a rubber bullet. When they noticed the futility of that report, the same APC TV changed the tone of their propaganda.

All electronic and print media worth their salt have written editorials and commentaries on Rivers State, but the appear to lack the intellectual composure to write on the evil being perpetrated by APC in Ogun State.

Their benefactor, the APC has issued a worthless propaganda laden threat against national interest, basing same on the media hyped Rivers crisis. As usual, it will take them time to find what to write in terms of editorials. However, those of us who are pro-Nigeria are happy that Nigerians including APC members have risen in unison to flay the power hungry propaganda tool.

The Nigerian media must realise that any reportage that indicates that a man does no wrong is utterly wrong ab initio. The APC, according to the Nigerian media is 'omni-right'. This is most unfortunate.

I close with this poser. Amaechi over the weeks refused to apply for Police permit to hold rallies. When eventually, he was granted the permit, he used the opportunity to issue threats on the use of machine guns by his supporters and also rained insults on President Jonathan. As expected his friends in the media celebrated him.

At least, another war monger, el-Rufai who hid all through the weekend before inviting Amaechi and Ngige to escort him to the State Security Service has realized that the gentle strides of a Tiger cannot be mistaken for cowardice.

The media should understand its role in a democracy. It is here to provide a platform for the majority and the minority. Under no circumstance should the media assume the role of the mouthpiece of a corruptly rich and vocal opposition.
The media must rise to save what is left of its battered image.
