Referendum on Ahmed Tinubu: is Reno Omkri assertions in order or falsification of facts? Read: Facts Have Deserted Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Faster Than Usain Bolt Again my attention has been drawn to disparaging comments made by Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu against former President Goodluck Jonathan and his administration. In the said comments, Mr. Tinubu said “The prior government used the public treasury as a private hedge fund or a charity that limited its giving only to themselves,” he said. “So much money grew feet and ran away faster than Usain Bolt ever could. That which could have been spent on national development was squandered in ways that would cause the devil to blush.” Speaking further, the former Lagos State Governor said: “Boko Haram would have taken more territory and more lives would have been lost to insurgency if Jonathan had remained in power.” I would now address these allegations point by point using verifiable facts. First of all, the only global ...

A Glimpse Into Obiano’s Oppressive Govt. http://thenationonlineng.net/glimpse-obianos-governance-style/amp/ Valentine Obienyem There are many features to admire and appreciate about the Philosophy of Confucius, including his Canons, the Nine Classics, The Way of the Higher Man, Rectification of Names,and The Great Learning.  Like Socrates -- another great man – Confucius expressed his thoughts verbally and left us to rely on his disciples to read about him. As great as he was, he also admitted there were several things he did not know. For instance, when one of his disciples requested that he told them about the dead, he replied cryptically: “While you do not know life, how can you know about death?”. Asked what constituted wisdom, he answered: ”Only to give one’s self earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom”. At a time, Confucius’ disciples were unhappy with him for not being able to solve for ...

Kaduna State Teachers Saga: pot calling kettle black. I'm appalled with Buhari's assertion over Kaduna State education saga. How ironic that a man whose educational qualification and certificate is still firmly shrouded in secrecy is casting aspersions on Kaduna State teachers? But again, in all fairness; his assertions are in order except that one cannot help but a bit bother over such statement coming from a man who  budgeted N61Billion for Education in 2018 Appropriation Bill. The big question is; how would Nigeria educational system competite with the best in the world as he asserted to his supporters with such meagre budget for education? For more of  Buhari's perfidy with education and stand with El-Rufai please read: President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday threw his weight behind Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s decision to sack 22,000 teachers in Kaduna State who failed competency test and recruit 25,000 new ones.

COUP SCARE IN ZIMBABWE . Zimbabwe was reeling Tuesday after the army warned it could intervene if President Robert Mugabe continued to purge veteran ruling party figures in an apparent effort to help his wife succeed him. Both the ruling party’s youth wing and the main opposition party called for civilian rule to be protected, while analysts called the crisis a potential turning point. Army chief General Constantino Chiwenga on Monday warned Mugabe to “stop” purges of the ruling ZANU-PF party after the president abruptly sacked vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa last week. Mnangagwa had clashed repeatedly with First Lady Grace Mugabe who is widely seen as vying to replace the 93-year-old leader when he dies. “We must remind those behind the current treacherous shenanigans that when it comes to matters of protecting our revolution, the military will not hesitate to step in,” Chiwenga told top brass at Harare’s King George VI military headquarters in an unprecedented intervention...

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said that he has never told a lie before. He made this disclosure yesterday during an interactive session with journalists in Lagos. The Minister also challenged those branding him a liar to present concrete facts disputing whatever he had said before. Mohammed said: “I have two burdens. The first is that I happen to be the face of the opposition, and PDP has not forgiven me, and I do not think they will ever forgive me. “I think they look at the magnitude of what has happened to them, and they hold me solely responsible; which is not fair. “But, I did my bit.
