Opinion: Man City are scoring the goals but Arsenal looks good to win the league
The
fact is there are only 16 games left to go in the league and Arsenal
are top. They’ve played everyone once and they have collected more
points than anyone else so far. Not just this season, either, they were
consistently the best team in the country in 2013. This is no flash in
the consistency pan from the north London side.
Perhaps someone should tell the media about this.
Having the best defence isn’t a guarantee either with the team which conceded the least goals winning the title 46 per cent of the time, in case you were wondering. What is needed is a balance between the two as well as consistency.

It would be fair to say that the title race is too close to call, something you won’t hear many pundits admit. No-one expected Arsenal to be at the top of the league, they never do.
For the past seven or eight years Arsenal have been the ones all the so-called experts have been predicting would drop out of the top four. That didn’t work out too well for them. This season that’s where Arsenal were supposed to be, battling for fourth place, not 14 points ahead of the current champions despite losing to them.
Manchester City might have scored four against Cardiff at home but they conceded two as well. Wrong offside flags have saved them from conceding even more than they did against Arsenal, Newcastle and Liverpool.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have conceded only one goal at home in the last nine games in all competitions. Since they shipped six at the Eithad they’ve conceded two goals in seven games, home and away. That’s the same number City conceded on Saturday in case you missed that bit above.
All season we’ve heard that if City sort out their away form, the league is in the bag, but at what point does it become obvious it is still an issue? Is it when they draw at Blackburn in the FA Cup? Or what about when they need a dodgy decision to overcome Newcastle?
None of this means I’m discounting City, far from it; I may be biased but I’m not insane. They are only one point behind Arsenal so it would be stupid to rule them or Chelsea out.
But the key point there is ‘behind Arsenal’ – it’s time Arsenal were taken seriously and not dismissed so easily. They are scoring, they are keeping clean sheets [the most in the league] and but for the nine goals conceded in two games which were aberrations, they’ve conceded just 10 in the other 20 and not more than one in any of those. They’ve done all this while having more injuries than any other team in the league and a number of key players missing for most of the season.
No-one is running away with this league because, for now, they simply can’t get past Arsenal.
I wonder when that will become the narrative?

Prostitutes Demand Pensions And Sick Leave From Brothel Owners
Vice girls on the favourite British holiday island of Ibiza have formed a union to get a better deal from brothel owners.
The vice girls have formed a new union and have registered to pay taxes and join the state social security in an uprising over fundamental rights.
They have registered to pay taxes and join the state social security system - the Sunday People understands
And they are calling for days off when they or their children are ill and the right to join a pension scheme.
Union leader Maria Jose Lopez said: “We want fundamental rights like other women with jobs.”
Local judge Gloria Poyatos, a supporter, said: “They are penalised.”
“They work at a job they don’t like which they are forced to do for various reasons and, further more,
have no rights like any other woman worker.”

Boko Haram strikes again in Borno, kills scores
Though details of the number of casualties was not available as of the time of filing this report, the Borno State Commissioner of Police, Lawan Tanko, told journalists that the terrorists killed a policeman and injured many people.
However, some residents who spoke on condition of anonymity, said many people were killed by the sect members, who went from house to house slitting their victims’ throats in the siege that lasted over an hour in the earlier hours of Wednesday.
This latest attack was not the first on the town, as it has been variously attacked by the sect in similar fashion.
Residents told journalists in Maiduguri on Thursday that the attackers rode on motorcycles and Hilux Toyota vehicles into the town from nearby bush.
They added that the attackers, who were armed with sophisticated weapons, attacked the police station first before they started killing residents.
One of the survivors, John Samuel, who spoke to journalists in Maiduguri said, “They drove from the nearby bush using motorcycles and carrying sophisticated weapons around 2am.”
He said that the attackers used rocket propellers to attack the station which caught fire immediately.
“Some of the policemen tried to engage them in a shoot out but they realised that the invaders had superior weapons so they had to run,” he said.
Samuel said that the attackers also raided homes killing and maiming residents before they fled the town through a bush path.
The state Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Lawal Tanko, who confirmed the attack, told journalists that, “I can confirm there was an attack on Banki town by suspected members of the Boko Haram group in the early hours of Wednesday in which my station in Banki was partially affected. I lost an officer and some sustained injuries.”
Meanwhile, the Borno-based vigilance group, the Civilian JTF, has called on the 7 Division, Nigerian Army, to relax the curfew in Maiduguri, to enable it to contribute more in checkmating suspected terrorists.

Update On Nollywood Actress, Yetunde Who Was Caught Stealing
Yoruba actress turned serial thief, Yetunde Akilapa, was caught red
handed on Sunday, January 13th at No 15 Ibitayo street in the Magodo
Phase 2 area of Lagos State for breaking into an apartment, just a year
after she was caught with bunch of master keys and arrested and arrested
by the police in Lagos.
The latest update on her shameful act is that the actress who is currently trending on the social media has been expelled from the Yoruba movie industry by the leadership of Odunfa Caucus, a group which she belonged due to her continuous involvement in dirty criminal acts.
Her family members have bailed her from police detention as the aggrieved people refused to press charges.
After she was granted bail last year, Yetunde claimed some people in the movie industry set her up but it seems there is more to her case as people are beginning to say she may be suffering from spiritual attack.

JAMB Alerts Public On Fake UTME E-facility Cards In Lagos
Alhaji Kamaldeen Oladeji, the Coordinator of the Board in Lagos, disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
Oladeji said that the board’s annex in Lagos had been informed that some persons were selling fake e-facility cards for the board’s 2014 UTME.
“I want to seize this opportunity to sensitise the public of this ugly development.
“Some candidates have reported the purchase of fake e-facility cards to the JAMB National Headquarters Annex at No. 11, Ojora Road, Ikoyi, Lagos.
“The candidates said they bought the fake e-facility cards from vendors at the Lagos State University (LASU) and around Ikotun and Sango-Ota.
“The e-facility card provides the PIN for access to print the original UTME result slip and the JAMB admission letter.
“The candidates complained of the e-facility cards not only being sold, but also sold at more than the quoted purchase price of N1,000,” he said.
Oladeji added that the e-facility card was only available for sale to the public at the board’s offices nationwide.
He warned that any vendor found selling the e-facility cards outside the board’s offices nationwide would face the wrath of the law. [NAN]

26,000 Flee Homes As Mount Sinabung Erupts In Indonesia
Indonesia’s Mount Sinabung has erupted more than 30 times, spewing lava and ash clouds over a wide area, officials said, with more than 26,000 people now forced to flee their homes.
Mt Sinabung, which lies in the northwest of Indonesia’s Sumatra island, sent hot rocks and ash 5 kilometres into in the air, spreading hot clouds over a 4.5 kilometres radius, said the Centre for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation.
Enormous clouds rose from the mountain, as thick layers of grey ash blanketed plantations and nearby houses.
With the volcano erupting regularly, many of those who have left their homes since Mt Sinabung started erupting in September have fallen ill, a local government official said.
“Some refugees are sick, coughing mainly, and they are also in need of clean water,” said Robert Peranginangin,a spokesman for Karo district.
Volcanoes are a regular threat for many living near their fertile slopes in Indonesia. Mt Sinabung is one of 129 active volcanoes in Indonesia that straddle major tectonic fault lines, known as the Pacific Ring of Fire.

In August 2013, five people were killed and hundreds evacuated when a volcano on a small island in East Nusa Tenggara province erupted.

Suicide bomber kills 30 in Maiduguri
This year’s Eid Malud Festival was marred in Maiduguri, Borno State by a bomb blast at the busy Post Office Roundabout in Maiduguri, Borno State on Tuesday.
A lone suicide bomber, believed to be a member of the Islamist militant sect, Boko Haram, carried out the attack which eye witnesses said left no fewer than 30 people dead and about 50 others injured.
The attack which occurred at about seven hours after eight people died in an accident on the Osara-Okene Express Road, Kogi State, sparked protests by youths, who alleged that it was traceable to politicians.
The angry youths damaged former governor Ali Modu Sheriff’s office on Kashim Imam Way before they left for the Government Reservation Area where they also torched a building belonging to him.
It was gathered that the former governor, who was still in the state as of the time the explosion occurred, was hurriedly driven to the Maiduguri Airport en route for Abuja. He was said to have been escorted by a well armed police team.
Soldiers fired shots into the air to disperse the youths before cordoning off the roads around the blast site and the GRA.
Investigation, however, revealed that Improvised Explosive Devices were wired to a vehicle and detonated at the roundabout which also leads to the Monday Market, the busiest market in the troubled city.
There were however conflicting reports on how the lone suicide bomber arrived and detonated IEDs close to a roadblock mounted by the military near the roundabout.
While the spokesman for the 7 Division of the Nigerian Army Maiduguri, Col. Mohammed Dole, said the bomber drove a Honda car, Reuters said he arrived at the area in a tricycle laden with IEDs.
Dole, who blamed the attack on Boko Haram, said, “At about 14:13 hours on Tuesday, January 14, a Honda car laden with IEDs exploded near the Post Office area in Maiduguri metropolis. Members of the frustrated Boko Haram terrorists are suspected to be behind the bomb explosion.
“Many deaths and injuries were recorded and 10 vehicles and five tricycles are confirmed damaged and one suspect is arrested. This incident happened after a long period of relative peace in Maiduguri and environs.”
But the state Police Commissioner, Lawan Tanko, told Reuters that his men counted 17 bodies as of 2pm on Tuesday.
“My men counted 17 dead persons as of 2pm and they are still counting. I instructed my men to go to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and the Specialist Hospital in Maiduguri to verify if there are others,” Tanko added.
Tanko confirmed that the explosion was caused by a suicide bomber who drove a firewood seller truck and detonated a bomb in the middle of the road.
Tanko, who claimed that only five people were injured, added that security operatives were immediately sent to public buildings to prevent attacks on them by the rampaging youths.
A journalist working at the state television office, Abba Kankami, also told the British news agency that he counted 29 dead bodies.
“The attack happened just behind the fence of my office. I counted 29 bodies, including two kids and a mother. Lots of others seriously injured,” he said.
However, health workers claimed that 30 bodies were deposited at different hospital mortuaries in the city. They added that 50 injured persons were also brought in.
Another eyewitness, Aisha Hassan, said she saw two boys whose bodies were cut into pieces.
Hassan, who added that two cars immediately caught fire when the explosion happened, said, “I ran away because there was too much blood.”
A source told one of our correspondents that operatives who rushed to the scene of the blast which occurred at about 1.30pm, evacuated the injured and the dead to the hospitals.
When contacted, the Director of Defence Information, Maj.-Gen Chris Olukolade, also confirmed that security operatives had arrested a suspected insurgent in relation to the explosion.
He said the suspect was already assisting a team investigating the incident.
The state Governor, Kashim Shettima, condemned the blast, saying it was regrettable it happened at a time people were enjoying the return of peace to Maiduguri.
In a statement by his spokesman, Isa Gusau, Shettima expressed condolences to the families of those who lost their lives.
The statement reads in part, “He (governor) has directed the security to carry out a full scale investigation into the bomb explosion which resulted in the unfortunate youths’ rampage that led to the breakdown of law and order.
“The governor also condemned the uprisings in the last three days in the state capital which he described as unfortunate even though avoidable.”
He also said that the governor had directed the Ministry of Health to ensure that all the injured received proper medical attention.
The statement added that the governor had met with the National Security Adviser in Abuja on issues of security of lives and property in Borno State.
The governor appealed to all the residents of the state to remain law abiding and reminded them that peace was a collective duty of all.
In Kogi State, an accident involving a Toyota Hiace bus, a trailer and a truck claimed the lives of eight people on the Osara-Okene Express Road at about 6.30am on Tuesday.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Kogi State Command, Mr. Redengha Tampa, said the trailer collided with the truck and the bus.
All the dead were said to be the bus passengers. Two other occupants of the bus, who sustained injuries, were rushed to Abobo Clinic, Itakpe, for treatment.
The corpses were taken to the mortuary of the Federal Medical Centre, Lokoja.
Gunmen shoot Jonathan’s official photographer
Ewelike, a photojournalist with the News Agency of Nigeria is attached to the State House, Abuja, and he is currently acting as the President’s official photographer.
The father of two was reportedly shot at a close range in front of his house in Nyanya in the outskirts of the Federal Capital Territory, between 10pm and 11pm.
He was said to be returning to his house after filing the photographs he took during Jonathan’s visit to Shape Community in the FCT, where the President inaugurated the Operation Light Up Rural Nigeria Project when the incident happened.
An eyewitness told our correspondent that the attack was carried out by two men on a motorcycle.
The eyewitness said, “The two men were apparently waiting for him at his residence. While one of them was on the motorbike, the guy who pulled the trigger was standing, waiting for him.
“As the victim parked his car and was making his way into his house, the armed man shot him in the neck at a close range. The gunshot attracted some residents of the area, so the two men quickly sped off on the motorbike.”
No personal belonging was stolen from the victim.
Ewelike was rushed by his neighbours to the National Hospital, Abuja, where medical doctors as of Tuesday were attending to him.
Our correspondent visited the victim at the hospital on Tuesday.
A source in the hospital said the x-ray conducted on the photographer showed that the bullet that entered through his neck was lodged at a spot close to his shoulder.
Armed men had also visited Ewelike’s residence few weeks back.
They left with his working tools, including his camera and a laptop and a few other personal effects.
Our correspondent learnt that security agents were already investigating the attempt on Ewelike’s life.
The Police Public Relations Officer, FCT Command, Altine Daniel, on Tuesday confirmed the incident.
Daniel said the FCT Commissioner of Police, Mr. Femi Ogunbayide, had directed that full scale investigation be carried out on the case.
Obasanjo calls for prayers over 2015 elections
Obasanjo said this when the National President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Dr. Felix Omobude, paid him a courtesy visit in his Abeokuta, Ogun State, home.
According to him, Nigeria is God’s project and as such the nation will overcome all its challenges no matter how insurmountable they can be.
Obasanjo said, “If there is anything that I would ask of you, it is that you should never stop fasting and praying for Nigeria. I always say that I’m an incurable optimist about this country.
“In my short span of life, I have seen a few unexpected things in this country when we thought that the end would just happen, but God made us to scale through.
“I personally never thought we would have a leader like (late Gen. Sani) Abacha in this country, I was a victim of his despotism but God saw us through that situation.
“There is no situation we see or worry about that God will not see us through. That is my belief and that is what gives me confidence, it gives me courage, it gives me the ability to work for the country’s unity.
“No matter what is happening, to me and the country, all will be well. And those of you who believe all will be well for Nigeria should continue to shout Hallelujah. God has done it for us.”
The former President, while alluding to his years in the military, expressed optimism that Nigeria would remain united and indivisible.
Earlier in his remarks, Omobude had described Obasanjo as a special treasure to the country, adding that the former President should not stop at playing pivotal role for the good of the country.
Omobude, who led the leadership of the PFN to Obasanjo, said that the fellowship would continue to pray for the peace, unity and progress of the country.

Boko Haram Attacks Could Spread, US Warns
Boko Haram emir Abubakar Shekau makes his first major video appearance
Nigeria’s Islamic uprising may expand out of the north to other parts of Nigeria, a United States travel advisory has warned.
The group has therefore counselled against travel to 16 of the nation’s 36 states, saying Americans have suffered violent crimes from kidnappings and r*pe to home invasions.
According to the advisory, nine foreign nationals including Americans died last year in kidnappings in South-west Nigeria, three of them killed by their captors during military-led rescue raids.
The advisory posted on the US State Department website on January 8, informing its citizens to expect little help from law enforcement agencies known for harassing and shaking down foreigners and Nigerians at checkpoints.
The advisory said further that US missionaries in northern Nigeria have received “night letters” — covertly distributed specifically written about threats to their safety.
Pointing to possible targets of extremists, it says US citizens should be particularly vigilant around government security facilities; churches, mosques, and other places of worship; locations where large crowds gather such as hotels, clubs, beer parlours, restaurants, markets and shopping malls; and all other areas frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.
Boko Haram has been responsible for thousands of deaths in a four-year-old uprising in North-east Nigeria, as the group seeks an Islamic state. The insurgency continues and deaths are still recorded often, despite an eight-month-long state of emergency that deployed thousands of troops to Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States.
“Late 2013 saw an increase in Boko Haram attacks and clashes with Nigerian government security forces in northern Nigeria,” the travel advisory says.
“Boko Haram is known to descend on whole towns, robbing banks and businesses, attacking police and military installations, and setting fire to private homes,” it says.
It therefore warns: “US citizens should be aware that extremists could expand their operations beyond northern Nigeria to other areas of the country.”
Boko Haram already operates in neighbouring Chad, from which it kidnapped a French priest who was released earlier this month, and militants from Chad, Niger and Cameroun have been reported fighting alongside Boko Haram in Nigeria, raising fears the rebellion could also spread beyond Nigeria’s borders.
The United States also advises against all but essential travel to all 13 northern and central-northern Nigerian states as well as Plateau State, for years the site of deadly ethnic-religious clashes, and the oil-rich southwestern states of Delta and Bayelsa, where piracy is on the rise and militancy by activists demanding a bigger share of oil riches from a government embroiled in numerous corruption scandals.
“Criminals or militants have abducted foreign nationals, including US citizens, from offshore and land-based oil facilities, residential compounds, and public roadways.”
It added that international companies and local authorities assert that the number of kidnapping incidents throughout Nigeria is underreported.
And home invasions “remain a serious threat,” with armed robbers getting into even heavily guarded compounds.
“Violent crimes occur throughout the country,” the advisory stated. “US citizen visitors and residents have experienced armed muggings, assaults, burglaries, armed robberies, car-jackings, r*pes, kidnappings, and extortion,” it added. [TD]
PDP, dead in Jonathan’s home state –APC chairman
Is it true that the APC now has a presence in Bayelsa State?
Yes, the eagle has just landed in Bayelsa State. APC has landed and it is the eagle in Bayelsa State. We have opened our office. I donated my office in Tombia, a very strategic location in the state. There you can have access to Amassoma, Otuoke, Ogbia and Yenagoa. If the national body comes in now, the next thing they will do is to mobilize and put the state in motion.
What can you say are the chances of the party; considering the intimidating presence of the PDP?
Democracy is a game of numbers. No amount of intimidation can give you the right candidate. They have been intimidating us from the days of the New PDP. We know how they used the police to chase us out of Bayelsa State; we know how the government put on us on a watch list. I know I am one of the people they want to kill because the day we declared for the New PDP, the state government put me on the watch list. The next thing, the police declared me wanted. I just believe that the police are the militant wing of the PDP. So, we believe that intimidation is there. But can we run away because of this intimidation? Can we avoid to say the truth? Can we because of intimidation, fail to vote for the person we know can deliver? No, we will continue to forge on.
Have you received any defector from the PDP so far?
When you talk of defectors, we are defectors to start with. We defected from the PDP to the New PDP. So, there are defectors already. In government today, we still have defectors that are coming. The defectors will come in good time. But first of all, we have paved the way for them. They are there. We know they are there. We have discussed and we are still discussing; we are having good rapport. We believe that when the time comes, when they (PDP) look back, they will not find anybody following them.
How do you intend to manage the ambition of your supporters from the three legacy parties – ACN, ANPP and the CPC?
The truth is that when a new baby is born like a political party such as the APC, there is bound to be misunderstanding. But at the end of the day, if you have the mind to unite and develop, definitely, we will disagree to agree. But for now, when I came in as the interim chairman from the New PDP to APC, we found out that there is nothing happening, no office, nothing. We now decided to get an office – a place we can sit down and discuss. As I speak to you, members of the (defunct) ACN are holding their meeting now. Next time, those of the ANPP will hold their meeting there. I am a grassroots politician and they know it. The only problem is this man they call Miriki. Miriki is the one causing confusion, trying to tell people that the national headquarters has not yet inaugurated the state chapter of the APC. We cannot wait for national body to put our house in order.
There appears to be confusion in APC in Bayelsa… (cuts in)
That is why we say Miriki is causing problems. This man as of today is the SSA on Inter-Party Relations to the PDP government in Bayelsa State. He is receiving salaries; how do you think he can go against that government that is paying him? If he is coming to the APC to do anything, let him first of all resign his appointment and come in for us to know he is a member of the APC. This is what they did with the ACN. I was in the PDP; they were given money, they were being paid, that was why the ACN could not win a single councillorship seat in Bayelsa. This is because they sold out. Today, we are from the PDP, we know the system – we know how they manipulate things. So, when we are fighting and somebody like Miriki is talking, it irritates us.
All we are saying is that the time has come for a change. Anybody we are putting in a position of authority must be people who are credible. If we want to register, we will register from the grassroots. We will get our genuine members. It is not just by documentation. That is what we have started doing. We have got our secretariat members in every ward. As we opened the office, many people have been trooping in to register as members. In Bayelsa State, the PDP is already panicking seriously.
But an official of the PDP said those of you who defected are inconsequential members?
All I can say is that the PDP is drowning. The PDP in the state said APC does not exist in Bayelsa. But today, we have an office. The pictures are there for people to see. Who is fooling who? If the APC is not there, why do we have this befitting office? We will know who is telling lies because activities have started. The APC parades people one can call men of “timber and caliber.”
Don’t you think power sharing among these political heavyweights, will tear the party apart?
Let me tell you, the motto of the APC is unity and progress. We will unite and we will progress. As I always say, tongues and teeth quarrel, still, they live together. Those that are coming into the APC and the old people will sure disagree to agree. By so doing, things will fall in place accordingly. It won’t be that if you are not President or governor today, that will affect the party.
We will agree on a consensus. APC has come to stay, we will only disagree to agree and we will surely triumph at the end.
Why did you leave the PDP?
Some people in the PDP believe they had acquired so much power and money that they cannot listen to other people. They simply became power drunk. They started behaving like people in an animal kingdom. The development gave rise to arrogance and culture of impunity.
As a result of that development, there was an emergence of the New PDP. When that happened, instead of the leadership of the PDP to sit down and harmonise the whole thing, nothing was done because of impunity and arrogance.
Who are those arrogant people you are talking about?
Everybody knows them.
Can you name them?
I insist everybody knows them. That is why you can see that people are asking Bamanga Tukur, the national chairman of the PDP to go. Today, even among them, the governors said Tukur should go. Why are they emphasising on Tukur? They said the man is doing things with impunity. Some of them said they brought him. A lot of things happened. What we are saying is that, we are no more in the PDP. We want to be discussing the APC – how we can take over governance and let Nigerians breathe and live well as a civilised people.
We do not want to occupy our minds with just the PDP issues because, as far as I’m concerned, PDP is a dead party. We do not discuss dead things. Let the dead bury the dead.
What is President Goodluck Jonathan not doing that your party appears desperate to replace him?
Well, for me, I believe that the needed development we expect from him is not there. Like in Bayelsa, can you tell me where one Federal Government presence is? In the Niger Delta, where is the federal presence? Why are we bothering ourselves for God’s sake? It does not matter whether the man is from the Niger Delta or not. What we are saying is that every individual has the right to associate with any group, persons or associations. So, we have our freedom to association.
Do you think Governor Seriake Dickson is working?
Dickson is not performing. He is a man who feels he has got to power through the back door; a man who feels he has the President by his side and that nobody can challenge him. Look at Bayelsa where he superintends today, what do you see? Let me tell you, since 1999, over N2tn accrued to the state. I can provide the evidence. There is nothing to justify that huge amount. As I speak to you today, Bayelsa State is still a slum – no water, no electricity, no road and the people are hungry. There is nothing different from slavery.

Warri Girl Shares Her Indecent Picture On Facebook [18+]
We all know as
the end-time comes nearer, one is likely to witness all these happening
around us. This girl (name withheld) came online unashamedly and shared
her total nakedness to everyone for reasons best known to her.
Again, Jonathan blasts nation’s elders over provocative statements
He urged the elders to emulate fallen members of the nation’s Armed Forces who he said paid the supreme price to keep the nation together.
Jonathan spoke at an inter-denominational church service organised as part of activities to mark the 2014 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration held at the National Christian Centre, Abuja.
The President said he was more concerned about the statements of the senior citizens because he expected that by virtue of their age, they must have seen enough to convince them that the country’s unity was more important than their personal interests.
He reiterated his position that he would never expect anybody to spill his or her blood because of his (Jonathan’s) political ambition.
He told politicians to be aware that there would be no nation when they promoted violence and killings for political reasons, adding that nobody would come out to vote for them at the poll.
The President said, “Sometimes I get worried when I listen to provocative statements that come from very senior citizens. People that ordinarily you perceive are very senior citizens. People who are probably 70 or 80 years who have seen it all and who ordinarily should know the unity of this country is more important than the interest of any individual.
“Sometimes they preach hate and even encourage young people to carry arms and kill themselves.
“I have always said it that any ambition I have at any time is not worth the blood of any Nigerian. I will never ever expect a Nigerian to spill a drop of his blood because Goodluck Jonathan must fulfill his ambition.”
On the insecurity in parts of the country, Jonathan said the situation could have degenerated beyond the current level if not for Nigerians’ daily prayers.
Archbishop of Methodist Church, Abuja, Most Rev. Job Oche, in his sermon, urged politicians to give peace a chance.
Oche said inflammatory statements credited to politicians ahead of the 2015 general elections would not do the country any good.
He said unless such statements that cause fear among the citizens were stopped forthwith, Nigerians might had no choice but to stay away from polling units during the election.
He urged them to forgo their political ambition of 2015 for now as tomorrow would take care of itself.
“Politicians should leave 2015 (elections) alone, God knows what he will do with 2015. We agree that politicians’ ambitions know no father, but God said we should leave the problem of tomorrow for tomorrow because today’s problems are enough. Stop destroying one another because of ambition,” he said.

N255m car scandal: Presidential panel indicts Oduah
The committee set up by President Goodluck Jonathan to probe the N255m bulletproof car scandal in the aviation ministry has indicted the Minister, Ms. Stella Oduah.
It was gathered in Abuja on Sunday that the report of the presidential committee tallied with some findings of the House of Representatives Committee on Aviation on the scandal.
In October, there were reports that with the approval of the minister, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority purchased two bulletproof BMW cars at an allegedly inflated rate of N255m.
The development sparked a countrywide controversy with many Nigerians and groups calling for her sacking.
The House subsequently mandated its Committee on Aviation to probe the allegation against the minister.
On December 19, 2013, the House endorsed the report of its committee and agreed that the minister breached the 2013 Appropriation Act.
It therefore asked Jonathan to review Oduah’s appointment for approving expenditure of over N643m for the NCAA to procure 54 vehicles last year.
The spokesperson for the House, Mr. Zackary Mohammed, had explained that the lawmakers wanted the minister sacked.
He said, “The word ‘review’ here means a change in status. It is a mild way of saying that Mr. President should sack the minister.”
A major recommendation of the Aviation committee, which was adopted, reads, “The House urges the President to review the continued engagement of the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, for having contravened the Appropriation Act, 2013 and the approved, revised thresholds by exceeding the Ministry of Aviation’s approval limit of N100m by the purchase of 54 vehicles valued at N643m.”
Although Jonathan confirmed the receipt of the report of the presidential committee chaired by a former Head of Service of the Federation, Alhaji Sali Bello, he had yet to make a pronouncement on it.
Other members of the presidential panel included the National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki and Vice-Marshal Dick Iruenabhere.
It was learnt on Sunday that the panel, like that of the House, also discovered that the minister’s approval for the cars exceeded the N100m limit.
A top government source, who disclosed this to The PUNCH on Sunday, said although the committee indicted Oduah , it did not say whether she should be sacked or not.
But sources told The PUNCH that there was every likelihood of the President using the cabinet shake -up that would follow the presentation of his ministerial list to the National Assembly to relieve himself of the moral burden of Oduah’s continued presence in his government.
One of the sources said Jonathan did not take any action on the matter when the issue was raging last year because it was not in his character to be seen as being stampeded into taking any decision.
He said, “Those who know oga knows that he is not the kind of person that can be stampeded into taking a decision. That was why he remained calm in the face of the public calls for the minister’s sacking last year.
“As it is now, since he is planning a cabinet shake-up, he may use the opportunity to ease the woman out. After all, during shake-up like the one being planned, he owes no one any explanation. He has the power to hire and fire.”
Another official was more categorical in his claim that Oduah might not escape the imminent shake-up.
The minister’s issue,according to him, came up when the President was preparing his response to an 18-page letter written to him by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
He said, “The consensus then was that Mr. President could explain all the issues raised in Obasanjo’s letter convincingly except the area that bordered on corruption.
“The observation people made that time was that it would be difficult to claim that the President did not harbour corruption with the continuous stay of Oduah in the cabinet at the time of replying the letter considering the calls by members of the public.”
Efforts to get the Presidency’s position on the presidential committee’s report did not yield positive result as the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, did not respond to the calls made to his mobile telephone lines.
Meanwhile, former governors Abdulkadir Kure (Niger), Boni Haruna(Adamawa) and an ex- National Security Adviser, Gen. Aliyu Gusau (retd.) are among those whose names may be sent to the Senate this week by Jonathan for consideration as ministers.
It was learnt that a former Nigerian Ambassador to Ghana, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, also made the list.
Jonathan had during a meeting with a delegation of the Peoples Democratic Party from the North-West last Thursday given an indication that the list would be sent to the National Assembly this week.
It was learnt that the inclusion of Kure and Haruna on the list was to counter their state governors who were seen to be opposing the President.
Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State is one of the five Peoples Democratic Party governors who recently defected to the All Progressives Congress.
Although Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State has yet to formally defect, he is being seen in government circle as just marking time especially since the claim that Jonathan signed a one-term agreement started from him.
Obanikoro, a former governorship candidate of the PDP in Lagos State, is also believed to have enough political clout to rally support for the President in the state.
It was gathered that the inclusion of Gusau was meant to shore up support for the President in the North-West, where many chieftains of the PDP had defected to the APC.
Sanusi’s successor: President considers S’West candidates
Amid intense lobbying by candidates hoping to succeed the incumbent Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Lamido Sanusi, indications have emerged that President Goodluck Jonathan is looking towards the South-West for the plum job.
Sanusi’s five-year single term tenure expires in June and he has consistently said he will not seek a second term in office.
Among those reportedly vying for the position of the CBN governor are the Managing Director, Access Bank Plc, Mr. Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede; Managing Director, First Bank of Nigeria Limited, Mr. Bisi Onasanya; and Managing Director, Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria, Mr. Mustapha Chike-Obi.
Others are the four Deputy Governors, Mr. Tunde Lemo (Operations); Dr. Kingsley Moghalu (Financial System Stability); Dr. Sarah Alade (Economic Policy); and Alhaji Suleiman Barau (Corporate Services Directorate); as well as the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Mr. Olusegun Aganga; and the Minister of State for Finance, Dr. Yerima Ngama.
Out of the lot, Onasanya, Alade and Lemo are from the South-West region, while Aganga is representing Lagos State in the federal cabinet, though originally from Edo State in the South-South region.
A source told one of our correspondents in Abuja on Sunday that although the President had not picked any candidate for the post, he was keen on fulfilling a promise he made to some Yoruba leaders a few months ago.
The South-West leaders had during a visit to the President complained about the alleged marginalisation of the zone, especially in the area of political appointments under Jonathan’s administration.
The source said the President promised to reserve some key political appointments for the region in order to redress the perceived imbalance against the South-West in political appointments by the administration.
The Yoruba are disenchanted with the loss of the position of the Speaker of the House of Representatives to the North-West, among others.
It was learnt that the recurring complaints of the region were responsible for the long delay in the appointment of a substantive Minister of Defence, which saw a former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Mrs. Olusola Obada, as the acting minister for two years after the then substantive minister, Haliru Mohammed, was fired by the President.
The source also said those claiming that the President was planning to give the job of the CBN governor to somebody from the South-South were wrong.
The source said that it would amount to an error of judgment for the President to give the positions of the Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service and the CBN governor to the same zone.
The President had last year forwarded the name of Mfon Akpan to the Senate for confirmation as the FIRS chairman.
The source explained further that the CBN job could only go to another zone if serious changes were made in the cabinet of the President.
Meanwhile, analysts have called on Jonathan to quickly name a successor to Sanusi because speculations surrounding his replacement may have negative impact on the economy.
They advised the President to appoint an economist rather than a core banker as Sanusi’s successor, noting that the country needed a CBN governor who would focus more on economic rather than banking issues.
Speaking in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents, the Head, Research and Strategy, BGL Plc, Mr. Femi Ademola, said, “Most of the appointees that we have had in the past as the CBN governor have always focussed on banking regulation rather than the economy.
“But the governor of the CBN goes beyond regulating the banks because we even feel the banks have been stabilised. So, there is no need to focus much on the banking sector.
“Rather, we need a governor that will start focusing on the economy and to bring out policies that will help to create jobs and revive key sectors of the economy such as agriculture and manufacturing.”
Also speaking, the Registrar, Chartered Institute of Finance and Control of Nigeria, Mr. Godwin Eohoi, said the task before Sanusi’s successor would be how to reduce interest rates and bank charges, as well as ensure exchange rate stability and boost reserves.
He said despite the successes recorded in the reform of the banking sector under Sanusi, much work still needed to be done.
Investigations revealed on Sunday night that some of the candidates being speculated to become the next CBN governor had begun to lobby friends and close aides to the President to aid their emergence as the preferred candidate.
A senior government official, who spoke with one of our correspondents on the condition of anonymity, said since last week when Sanusi reportedly fell out of favour with the President, a lot of politicking had been going on among the contenders for the office.
The source said, “You know that the appointment of the CBN governor is a political rather than a technical decision and remember that we are in a pre-election year where a lot of politicking is going on.
“Within the last one month, a lot of names have been brandished and I can tell you that some of those people have started serious campaigns and lobbying.
“But, again, there are feelers that whoever will become the CBN governor will have to be someone that is a friend of the President because I am sure that unlike Sanusi, the Presidency will not want to appoint anyone that will not be loyal to Jonathan.”
