Hon Patrick Obahiagbon bursts again in his Ingedpendence Speech
"This was the gobbledegook of the kpotokios in the crass and macadam vituperation of our grey matter from the terminus a quo to the terminus ad quem of their colonial peregrination and I dare say that FIFTY TWO YEARS after our flag and territorial shambolic autarky, our modus vivendi both at the leadership and followership sub- stratum still exudes and sustains that kpotokian diatribe. This is indeed the sphinxian conundrum of a Nation at FIFTY TWO." - Hon Patrick Obahiagbon.

The Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria, Mallam Lamido Sanusi, was on Thursday directed by President Goodluck Jonathan to suspend the planned introduction of N5,000 note.

Peoples Democratic Party has given defectors wishing to return 30 days to do so. This decision was taken at the meeting of the National Working Committee of the party at its national secretariat in Abuja on Wednesday.

President Goodluck Jonathan is unprepared to lead Nigeria - Orji Uzor Kalu
Former Abia State Governor Orji Kalu stated that President Goodluck Jonathan is unprepared to lead the Nigeria, saying that all the president “wanted in 2007 was to get a full term in office as governor.” Kalu said this at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife on Thursday at the Professor David Ijalaye annual lecture. He traced the failure of Nigeria’s socio economic development to “unprepared leadership,” lamenting that Nigeria had been beset with reluctant leaders forced upon the masses by the ruling elite. Kalu, whose lecture was entitled, ‘Leadership: Key factor to a better Nigeria,’ said the lack of committed and foresighted leaders was the bane of the country’s development. Making a case for true federalism, Kalu bemoaned the deplorable condition of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway even as he supported the call for the creation of state police. He, however, clarified that for state police not to be used as agent of oppression, police chiefs like Divisional Police Officers m...
