JEGA, our hero


INEC chairman, Attahiru Jega



I am surprised with lots of Nigerians on their short-sightedness at issues sometimes. Many are hailing the Nigerian incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan as a hero, why???
for conceding defeat to an election which he lost...hmmm???

Wait a minute, isn't that what losers are supposed to do???
Hmmm!

Well, as much as it is honourable of Jonathan to have conceded victory to his opponent, please let us not try to take the shine from the real man, the man who despite all pressures delivered a poll we are all proud of today... even though you may not believe it, this man, is the saviour of our democracy not GEJ nor GMB because if he had wanted he would have followed in the paths of his predecessors:


  • Eyo Esua (1960-1966)
  • Michael Ani (1976-1979)
  • Victor Ovie-Whiskey (1983)
  • Ephraim Akpata (1998-1999
  • Abel Guobadia (2000-2005)
  • Maurice Iwu (2005-2010)


..men who as umpires jettisoned the constitution for their principal's ambitions.

In my books, Jega now ranks second in terms of importance among the following former Electoral commission chairmen:


  • Eme Awa (1987-1989)
  • Humphrey Nwosu (1989-1993)
  • Prof. Okon Uya (1993-1994)
  • Sumner Dagogo-Jack (1994-1998).


he introduced PVC and card reader
Just in case you wish to know who ranks first on the list to me, it is Prof. Humphrey Nwosu,from Anambra State (South-east) who took over from Awa, his former teacher, and served till 1993. He conducted the June 12 election (presumed to have been won by the late Chief Moshood Abiola) which up till Saturday 28th March, 2015 was seen as the freest and fairest election ever in the history of Nigeria. It was under him that the electoral commission introduced the novel voting system of Option A4 and Open Ballot System just like under Jega, the commission introduced the card reader and PVC which helped to check irregularities thereby saving our democracy..



Jegaquin...antidote for Orubetitis
What really endeared me to him was the way he handled Orubebe
(many funny guys out there claim he gave Jegaquin for Orubebe's Orubebetitis, how funny, lolz) and the other PDP agents during the collation exercise, he proved to us all that indeed he knows his onions.











JEGA is the man...all hail JEGA
all hail JEGA, our hero
all hail JEGA, the saviour of our democracy!!!!

PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN CONGRATULATES BUHARI, WINNER OF THE 2015 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION


Yes, it is true... history has been made in the most populous black nation. An incumbent president lost out in an election to return to office.

Many have thought that President Goodluck Jonathan will toe the path of Nigerian former leaders who by all means wins re-election. Contrary to majority views and opinions, he has decided to accept the elections in good fate and had even called his opponent, Muhammadu Buhari to congratulate him on his emergence. A feat which many saw as unlike a Nigerian President and as such is worthy of commendations.

Yesterday, he went a step further to make a press release on his position concerning the outcome of the elections. Read full text below:


Fellow Nigerians,

I thank you all for turning out en-masse for the March 28 General Elections.I promised the country free and fair elections. I have kept my word. I have also expanded the space for Nigerians to participate in the democratic process. That is one legacy I will like to see endure.

Although some people have expressed mixed feelings about the results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), I urge those who may feel aggrieved to follow due process based on our constitution and our electoral laws, in seeking redress.

As I have always affirmed, nobody’s ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian. The unity, stability and progress of our dear country is more important than anything else.

I congratulate all Nigerians for successfully going through the process of the March 28th General Elections with the commendable enthusiasm and commitment that was demonstrated nationwide.

I also commend the Security Services for their role in ensuring that the elections were mostly peaceful and violence-free.
To my colleagues in the PDP, I thank you for your support. Today, the PDP should be celebrating rather than mourning. We have established a legacy of democratic freedom, transparency, economic growth and free and fair elections.

For the past 16 years, we have steered the country away from ethnic and regional politics. We created a Pan-Nigerian political party and brought home to our people the realities of economic development and social transformation.
Through patriotism and diligence, we have built the biggest and most patriotic party in Nigerian history. We must stand together as a party and look to the future with renewed optimism.

I thank all Nigerians once again for the great opportunity I was given to lead this country and assure you that I will continue to do my best at the helm of national affairs until the end of my tenure.
I have conveyed my personal best wishes to General Muhammadu Buhari.
May God Almighty continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
I thank you all.

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR
President,
Federal Republic of Nigeria

NIGERIA 2015: PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION RESULTS (1)

As at 10am this morning, the results of the presidential election that was held across Nigeria are yet to be announced which has kept Nigerians on edge on what actually is their fate.

I must admit that may be the first time in Nigeria that election collation has taken so long and also the first time in Nigeria that almost everyone in Nigeria is so concerned about the outcome of the elections. CENTUPOET reporting for TEAM VICSSIE has compiled the results so far released by INEC as we await the release of the remaining results. At the moment, INEC chairman, Attahiru Jega is the most important personality in Nigeria if not the whole world because the reactions of the most populous black nation are directly dependent on his actions and inactions today.

So far, the results of 18 states have been made available by INEC with FCT make it 19. But, we have below the results of 16 states including FCT as the true source of the ones we got was yet to be verified at the time of writing.

The results as released by INEC are as follows:

Ekiti:            APC – 120, 331;    
                    PDP – 176, 466
Ogun: APC 308, 290; 
           PDP 207, 950
Enugu: APC – 14, 157; 
             PDP 553, 003
Kogi: APC – 264, 851; 

          PDP – 149, 987
Osun: APC: 383, 603; 

           PDP – 249, 929
Ondo: APC – 299, 889; 

           PDP – 251; 368
FCT: APC – 146, 399; 

          PDP – 157, 195
Oyo: APC – 528, 620; 

          PDP – 303, 376
Nasarawa: APC – 236, 838;

                  PDP – 273, 460
Kano: APC – 1, 903, 999; 

            PDP – 215, 779
Jigawa: APC – 885, 988;

              PDP – 142, 904
Katsina: APC – 1, 345, 441; 

              PDP – 98, 937
Kwara: APC – 302, 145; 

              PDP – 132, 602
Kaduna: APC – 1, 127, 760; 

              PDP – 484, 085
Anambra: APC – 17, 926; 

               PDP – 660, 762
Abia: APC - 13,394; 

          PDP - 368,303


According to one analysis from Radio Nigeria this morning, PDP has won 9 states plus FCT while APC has won 9 states.
An unofficial information also has it that APC won in Lagos by a close margin, this is yet to be made official by INEC as all eyes now turn to JEGA.

BISHOP DAVID OYEDEPO EXERCISES HIS FRANCHISE


Voting in Elections is more or less a duty than an obligation in a democratic setting. And when the setting is aa ours, unified diversity of religion, ethnic, tribe and interests, not much could be said or agreed on between a duty or obligation.

In recent times, many frontline preachers have come under attack by some elements in the country, Nigeria over what they term "meddling with politics".
 To these elements, preachers should not in any way express themselves politically and should focus on their job which is just to preach.

To those, who are in favour of this line of thought, they base their arguments on the statement of Jesus
"...give to Caesar that which is Caesar's and to God, what is God's"...
claiming that Jesus tried as much as He can to disassociate Himself from politics.

Also, those against this school of thought believes that a pastor (or preacher as the case may be) is a bonafide citizen of the country and has every right to express himself politically.
That noted, in buildup to the 2015 general elections, many preachers of the gospel in Nigeria came under the hammer of those toeing the line of zero-participation against politics.

Among one of the preachers of the gospel, that was so badly hit was the presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church, Worldwide, and the senior pastor of Faith Tabernacle (a 50,000-seat capacity auditorium), Canaanland, Ota. During one of the services in his church, the president Goodluck Jonathan worshipped at the church and he, as nature demands, decided to pray for the country using the President as a point of contact. After the service, reports went viral, mostly on the social media (the biggest threat to journalism in the 21st century) that he had said he will open up the gates of hell against anybody who opposes the candidature of President Goodluck Jonathan. After this dominated the cyber space for sometime, the church came out to issue a press release stating exactly what transpired during the visit of President Jonathan at the church. (read about that story here)
Sometime ago, he also asked church members to come to church with their voters' cards so as to pray for Nigeria and across the church network members came to church with their voters' cards and prayers were offered for the country using them.

Bishop Oyedepo is one man who has continued to show interest in the Nigerian agenda and continued to pray and call for peace to reign, on sunday 22nd March, he also led members in a session of prayers for the peace of Nigeria Read up story here.

With the elections already here, many thought that with the kind of publicity surrounding him he will choose not to vote; on Friday, the eve of the Presidential elections, I was speaking with a staff of the Church and he told me that Papa (that is what Bishop Oyedepo is fondly called by members) will not vote, I was like telling him that the Bishop Oyedepo I know will certainly vote. He said it was a lie, that he will never.

On saturday afternoon, TEAM VICSSIE received a report that Bishop David Oyedepo was present at his polling unit to be accredited.
Papa on his way to the polling unit to be accredited while the crowds shout "we love you papa"

On his arrival, shouts of "We love you Papa" went into the air as the people around hailed him for this action.

Papa getting ready to be accredited




After being accredited, he left the vicinity and returned later to cast his vote.


As at the time of this report, no one has come out to say whether his action of choosing to exercise his franchise is un-pastoric or is not worthy.

But, don't be surprised, if you hear on Monday that after he cast his vote, he prayed and all the other votes turned in the president's favour.

ELECTORAL OFFENCES...how much do you know???


Just twenty-four hours to the 2015 general elections, the Nigerian Police has made public some of the acts which constitute electoral offence in Nigeria.

345 days after... where are our Girls???






Today marks the 345th day after over two hundred girls were kidnapped by the violent religious sect based in Northern Nigeria, Boko Haram.

The girls were kidnapped from a boarding school-Government College- Chibok, on 14th April, 2013. Chibok is a town located south of Borno state in North-eastern Nigeria.

Government Secondary school, Chibok

This means that twenty days from today, the girls would have spent a year away from home, from their loved ones, from their friends and from their school.

After the girls were kidnapped, all around the world people kept on calling for their release. Campaigns and rallies were held almost everyday as more and more persons joined in the calls. Even in the US, rallies were held on daily basis by groups of ladies...(see video)

click here to watch video of a group holding rally at a Los Angeles school

 A hashtag #bringbackourgirls was even invented on twitter to aid this cause. Within days it went viral and the campaign for the return of the girls became a global phenomenon and kind of united the whole world as even the wife of the US president, Michelle Obama joined in the campaign describing it as an "unconscionable act  committed by a terrorist group". (see pix 1)

Michelle Obama holding up a card in support of the call for the release  of the girls.

The whole world turned their focus to Nigeria, though momentarily, because after various nations offered their assistance, nothing came out of it. They seemed to have made the promises as part of the diplomatic responsibilities of cooperation with NIgeria. Their promises of military aid and finance were never sighted near the borders of Chibok. This has raised a lot of dusts as many thought it useless for them to have even made such promises. One of such are the parents of the girls who have continued to lament their lots.
"As far as our girls are concerned, they have been abandoned," said Mkeki Mutah, an uncle of two of the missing - 17-year-old Saratu and 18-year-old Elizabeth.
"There is a saying: 'Actions speak louder than words.' Leaders from around the world came out and said they would assist to bring the girls back, but now we hear nothing. The question I wish to raise is: why?" Mutah told Al Jazeera.
"If they knew they would not do anything, they wouldn't have even made that promise at all. By just coming out to tell the world, I see that as a political game, which it shouldn't be so far as the girls are concerned."

345 days, and no one seems to be talking about the Chibok girls, raising a lot of questions as to whether the girls are alive or dead. If they are alive, where on earth are they?
If they are dead, where were their bodies buried?? how were they killed???

The Nigerian government on its part, is she helping matters, what is she doing in the search for the missing girls. Sometime in June, 2014, President Goodluck Jonathan was quoted in a Washington Post as saying that his " government and our security and intelligence services have spared no resources, have not stopped and will not stop until the girls are returned home," This came after he was  accused of keeping silent on the mass abduction and failing to bring the girls home.

Today, 345 days, what actually has the government done???
Have the girls returned???
345 days after the abduction and barely three days to the day Nigeria decides on who will be their next president. 
Will this be a decider of how the votes will go as is obtainable in other democratic countries??? I doubt so... because, whether there were actually Chibok girls, Nigerians seem to have forgotten as they have long forgotten about the event of April 14th 2014.

But, should we give up hope???? No, our girls must be brought back
#bringbackourgirls


they are our wives, sisters and friends

MR PRESIDENT WHY??????? (an open letter to President Goodluck Jonathan)

Is it that you don't want to wave at me???




Mr. President!
WHY?????

Mr. President, why????


This was one of the reasons why I didn't initially accept your candidature.
Why will you as a the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria allow yourself to be smuggled over the heads of the people of Enyimba City by a few to a corner thereby denying you the opportunity to meet with and interact with the people who you claim to be leading.

To me this is unacceptable, there must be change. When you were Vice-president you were always seen around but, after you made those lofty promises you made during your "I have no shoes campaign"... ele way?... no one has seen you in the city.

We heard the other day that you were coming to the God's own state, we were all hoping to receive you only for you to end up in the state capital, we let you know our grievances and later pardoned you because we know our city is really wonderful to receive you at that time.

Then, came another news everywhere that you will be visiting us, the city went agog, everyone got set to meet with you, our loving president, our amiable and trustworthy president. We all ironed our clothes and brought out umbrellas in solidarity only for us to receive the unheard news...


THE VENUE HAS BEEN CHANGED>..... okay
BUT, IT IS NOW INVITES ONLY.....what????

Who changed the venue? what necessitated the change???
Mr. Presidet, there is God o
and why will our president come to a city as big and important as Aba is and only those with invitations can get to see him???

I sensed that this will happen when three days ago, I saw some persons cleaning the Ikot-Ekpene axis of Ogbor-Hill, at first I didn't know it was in preparation of your coming. I had thought it was just one of the candidates vying for one political post or the other doing that. But, today, I learnt that it was a laudable initiative of our "Legacy Governor".
Enyimba stadium, the aborted venue
When, yesterday, I heard on P and P (a political programme of Magic FM anchored by Big Bonny and Odochi Anaesthesia) that you will be visiting, I took my time and visited the Enyimba stadium, the proposed venue of your visit, but, it was not in a manner showing you will actually be hosted there. That was when I became curious. And on the D-day, I was no longer curious but...(I lack words).


Mr. president, just in case you haven't known, the city of Aba is the nerve of the south-east although many will want to argue this.

History has proved this overtime, the popular women riot of 1929 was organised by Aba women.

Aba is fondly called the "Japan of Africa", why???, because it is an international city (until when a few came on board and decided to wage war against the city, but, Aba will rise again).
The elephant is the strongest animal
Aba is called Enyimba, that is "the people's elephant"... because, the city is a leader-city when it comes to Nigerian politics. Just as the Elephant, Aba city is not a city to be toyed with, no one jokes with Aba (except a few who have to throw stones from afar).
Our late Ikemba, Eze gburugburu's death wish was for his corpse to be brought to Enyimba before the great people of Enyimba (kingmakers)

Eze Gburugburu lying in state at Aba















Even you, the Commander-in-chief of the armed forces must come in to the city to meet with a selected few, why did you have to fly over our heads into the city??? why???

nylon tarred roads
Is it because you didn't want to ride on the sambisa roads we ply daily. You didn't want to ply the Port-Harcourt road which in 2011 you promised will be a done deal before now.
Sambisa road
Is it because somebody doesn't want you to see his failures in the area of infrastructural development in the state???

Or is it that you were told you will be rained pure-water by the boys in the hood??? (but, to the best of my knowledge,it is not everyone that gets that treatment o, I go out everyday and no one has ever done that, but I only know of one person that gets it always.. an irony of sort , though)
Is it because someone didn't want to be viewed as being persona non grata in the city???

Mr. President, why??

Why did you allow yourself to be dragged into a feud you knew nothing about and you are not a party to.

Mr. President why???
why did you allow yourself to be presented to the people as insensitive???

This act of yours, mr president is totally unacceptable to us, especially in a democratic state as ours.

That act alone is enough to deny you the votes of the great people of Aba... because, it is an insult to us.
So, mr president, blame yourself if at the release of the results you are tied or you lose out to the opposition in the city... because, this act was a miscarriage to the pregnancy you have been nurturing for so long.


Mr pReSiDeNt why????

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA'S MESSAGE TO NIGERIANS AHEAD OF ELECTIONS.

Image result for obama
US president, Barak Obama



As we count down to the general elections in Nigeria beginning with this Saturday's Presidential and Federal Parliamentarian elections, the United States President, Barack Obama, on Monday sent a special message to us, tasking us on a credible and peaceful polls. 
In his message which was made public on Monday and obtained by CENTUPOET (a member of TEAM VICSSIE), he wrote on the need to turn the nation's diversity into major economic strength while calling for a peaceful and violence-free polls. 


Full text of Mr. Obama’s Message to you and I:

“Hello.  Today, I want to speak directly to you—the people of Nigeria.
Nigeria is a great nation and you can be proud of the progress you’ve made.  Together, you won your independence, emerged from military rule, and strengthened democratic institutions.  You’ve strived to overcome division and to turn Nigeria’s diversity into a source of strength.  You’ve worked hard to improve the lives of your families and to build the largest economy in Africa.
Now you have a historic opportunity to help write the next chapter of Nigeria’s progress—by voting in the upcoming elections.  For elections to be credible, they must be free, fair and peaceful.  All Nigerians must be able to cast their votes without intimidation or fear.
So I call on all leaders and candidates to make it clear to their supporters that violence has no place in democratic elections—and that they will not incite, support or engage in any kind of violence—before, during, or after the votes are counted.  I call on all Nigerians to peacefully express your views and to reject the voices of those who call for violence.  And when elections are free and fair, it is the responsibility of all citizens to help keep the peace, no matter who wins.
Successful elections and democratic progress will help Nigeria meet the urgent challenges you face today.  Boko Haram—a brutal terrorist group that kills innocent men, women and children—must be stopped.  Hundreds of kidnapped children deserve to be returned to their families.  Nigerians who have been forced to flee deserve to return to their homes.  Boko Haram wants to destroy Nigeria and all that you have worked to build.  By casting your ballot, you can help secure your nation’s progress.
I’m told that there is a saying in your country: “to keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done”. Today, I urge all Nigerians—from all religions, all ethnic groups, and all regions—to come together and keep Nigeria one.  And in this task of advancing the security, prosperity, and human rights of all Nigerians, you will continue to have a friend and partner in the United States of America."

I AM CONFUSED O!




NIGERIAN GO TO THE POLLS






Ahead of the March 28th 2015 presidential elections in Nigeria, I just found out today that I am actually confused for the first time in my life.

I may not be the only one confused of this because it appears every Nigerian is confused.
Because if we are not all confused, we will not be going about the campaigns the way we have been going about it.

The two parties (although, there are 12 other parties in the race, I don't know if they are in the race or beside the race. Well, that is a discourse for March 30) contesting the elections, APC and PDP have continued the whole of Nigeria with promises of things which they will do for Nigerians if given the mandate.

APC on its part is shouting "CHANGE"

while PDP is shouting "TRANSFORMATION"

>...it was not of recent that I began asking myself the difference between the two. Ever since the campaigns began, it appeared Nigerians lost the pages of their dictionaries containing the meaning to those two words or is it just confusion???

Everywhere the PDP train goes to, people keep on shouting "we want transformation"
and anywhere the APC train moves, the chants are "we want change".

Someone please help me out here, is there any difference between the two? or is the difference only to me. Because, I just found out recently that the page in my dictionary containing the definition of transformation was folded (apparently by someone as curious as Ada Monique), which was why I was unable to decipher the meanings.

If there is a difference between the two, I want to know which one of them is worthwhile so that I could know which side to direct my pendulum on March 28th.

But, if there is actually no difference, then, we the electorates are of all men the most miserable. Because, we have blindly and sheepishly allowed ourselves to be drawn into this "no-difference-campaigns".
If there is no difference, then, the election is not worth all the tensions because the two men are promising the same.

So, on March 28th, whichever side the tide sweeps to the end result is sure let us accept it in good fate and work towards the set-out goal.
