ANTONIO CONTE AND THE DILEMMA OF DAVID LUIZ'S POSITION
While the versatility of David Luiz provides Conte with options, the head coach has a clear idea of where he feels the Brazilian’s qualities can benefit the team in the best way.
Conte: ‘I think David Luiz is a centre-back, he’s played a lot of games in that position,’ he added. ‘I know sometimes he’s played as a central midfielder but in my mind the idea is to utilise him in the right position which, for me, is centre-back. He’s played with Chelsea previously and he will bring a good personality.’ (ChelseaTv)

THE RACE STARTED FROM THE WOMB ; WE'RE VICTORIOUS … WITH GINA MENSA; AN ACTRESS AND A MODEL
*Biology says that after sexual intercourse, about 200 to 300 million spermatozoa are deposited by the man, they all begin to swim upwards within the tract to meet with the ovum. Of the over 200 million that are deposited, only 300 to 500 actually reach the site( others get tired on the way because it is not a small race). And of the 300 that manage to reach the ovum(egg), only one fertilizes the egg, and in this case the Winning One was 'YOU'. Have you ever thought about this?
You ran a race without your eyes and you won ; you ran without education and you won ;you ran without a certificate and you won; you ran without help... and you made it. What makes you think you will lose now? Now that you have both eyes and legs, now that you have a certificate, now that you have a plan, a dream and a vision. Beloved, you didn't give up on day one, you can't give up now !
Giving up now is an insult to your creator. It doesn't matter what you see now, take it as a challange, always remember that you WON from the womb. Always be Grateful to God no matter what. Better days ahead...
You'll all smile soon, let's keep hope alive.*

NIGERIA AIR FORCE RE-FORTIFIES EXERCISE AGAINST COUNTER TERROR ATTACKS AT THE NNAMDI AZIKIWE INT'L AIRPORT, ABUJA
EXERCISE STEEL DOME
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) today simulated a counter terrorist exercise at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja. The exercise followed on the heels of recent terrorist attacks in some major airports around the world. The exercise was codenamed “EXERCISE STEEL DOME” meaning fortified arena, and the aim to ascertain NAF’s readiness to respond to occurrence of terrorist attack in any of the nation’s airports. The exercise scenario was based on terrorist attack on an airport, and effort to retake the airport from the terrorists and restore normalcy through insertion and extraction of Special Forces operating in conjunction with other organic security forces and organisations. The exercise objectives are to enable the NAF practice both individual and group skills in planning, coordination and execution of counter-terrorist operations, as well as understand the requirements and challenges involved in the coordination and conduct of counter terrorist operations in concert with other security agencies and organisations among others.
Meanwhile, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar has disclosed that there are plans to replicate the exercise in other major cities, such as Lagos, Kano and Port Harcourt, with international airports. Responding to questions from press men at the end of the exercise, Air Mshl Abubakar stated that “it is necessary for the NAF, in the light of the security challenges in the country, to evaluate her operational plans from time to time with a view to identifying any gaps”. This, the CAS said, was the essence of the simulating the exercise to demonstrate the capability of the NAF Special Forces element to mobilize for offensive operations at the shortest possible time in the event of any security breach.

ANGER; AN ENEMY OF DESTINY … WITH GINA MENSAH ; AN ACTRESS AND A MODEL
The first time Moses got angry, he killed somebody.
The second time he was angry, he broke the original 10 commandments that God carved out and wrote out with His fingers, burnt the golden calf, sprayed the ashes on water and forced the Israelites to drink it.The third time he got angry, he struck the rock twice instead of speaking to it, and in the process terminated his ministry.
He was so close to the blessing yet he could never be father ! Anger can make you see your blessings so close yet it will refuse to get into your hands. Someone like Moses is hardly angry, keep quiet most of the times until the day they will explode.
If you do not deal with it, you would be sorry for yourself. Vent your anger against the spirit of anger ! Do not let your anger go beyond midnight against one another.
Destroy anger today before it destroys your destiny.
PRAYER POINT.
(1) Command you spirit of anger in my life, die permanently, in the name of Jesus.
(2) By the power that spoke to the raging sea, Oh Lord, silent every ranging problem in my life, in the name of Jesus
(3) Call the name of Jesus 3times,Jesus! Jesus!! Jesus!!! I need a change, do not pass me by again.
(4) Oh Lord, empower me henceforth to engage my enemies in a victorious warfare, in the name of Jesus.
(5) You stone of darkness pressing me down in life, roll away by fire, in the name of Jesus Christ
God Bless You

SEX EDUCATION … WITH GINA MENSAH ; AN ACTRESS AND A MODEL
FOR ADULTS ONLY
Let me begin by saying this post isn't for pre matured members. I believe we are all adults, and sex education is part of life except you are a hypocrite deceiving yourself that you hate hearing issues related to sex. So be mindful of your outburst on this thread...Not a must to read or even comment. Thank you!
Now tell me, How can you give your woman a great sex When you only last 2 min in bed?
How do you intend to make her lust in pleasure screaming your name when your BLOKOS is only like my middle finger- lol
The truth is that women love good sex — just like men do. GREAT SEX makes them scream your name with pleasure as they get intense orgasms and that’s where most men make a mess of things. Some guys give their women lame sex and then wonder why their women stop wanting it or CHEAT on them.
They've forgotten that the Only Guaranteed Way Of Giving them Good Sex is to first have a good foreplay before sex that would last for atleast 20Min...
🔻Why must you have a good Foreplay Before sex?
1. Foreplay plays a vital bonding role between couples in the sense that it not only sets the pace for a stimulative love making session, it makes partners know each others body inside out.
2. During foreplay one discovers erogenous zones of their partner thereby making it easier to know how and exactly where to touch so as to give each other the maximum required pleasure and satisfaction that is meant to be derived from sex.
3. During fore play a couple gets to interact and appreciate each others body.
4. Fore play breaks a barrier of been shy of each others insecurities when naked and helps couples accept each others body no matter the condition.
5. A woman with a scar can feel at ease in the presence of her husband cos with regular fore play the man gets used to her body and scars and she in turn feels confident in her skin. It works vice versa and helps strengthen bonds between couples.
6. It lubricates her sex organs, makes it wet and fully arroused thus leading to an easy penetration.
7. It increases the chances of her reaching climax( point of no return) lol
8. Lastly it promotes the flow of blood to the penis,which makes it turgid and ready for action
🔻What You Shouldn't do during foreplay ??
1. Don't be too anxious! Anxiety could lead to unwanted ejaculation
2. Don't be too aggressive. You are not a beast. It's called foreplay not a rape!
3. Stop beating or spanking yourselves too hard,it's not maturity at all
4. If any of you comes, don't feel irritated, smile and move on!
5. Make sure it's not in an unpleasant or boisterous environment
6. Remove every form of distractions. Like the use of ear piece, chewing gum, receiving phone call and many more you can think of...
7. Let your mind be in it fully! Not time to think about your ex or your business
8. Ladies avoid wearing tight Jean or any stubborn attire( iron pant) that would make the man sweat profusely before getting satisfaction
9. Skimpy dresses, g-string, "half bra" and Other sugar coated sexy light wears would definitely make a difference before foreplay!
10. Brush your mouth well, and if possible bath before you get started! Some of your provoking mouth or body odour could spoil the mood.
11. Please stop shouting "Jesus" when moaning aloud. Leave Him alone! Rather call yourselves romantic names that would help put you both in it very well.
12. Lastly, Don't be in a haste to suck his di*ck or her p*ssy to avoid premature ejaculation.
We are Africans{true blacks} we aren't imitators of the "whites" but imitators of what is "right". Which ever way you carry out your foreplay before sex, please do it right and you both would be happy thereafter.
Learn to explore other means if you really want to achieve maximum satisfaction. You aren't running a marathon race, imagine sharp sharp your rod grows and you decide to borehole immediately, not so my brother!
Remember women loves good sex! If it's good she will adore you, but once it's bad you bore her like hell. You don't need a smooth sayer to remind you that you need help!
YOUR OPINIONS ARE WELCOMED!! Thank you!

NIGERIA HAS ALREADY JOINED ISLAMIC COALITION AGAINST TERROR, WHY I DID IT… PRESIDENT BUHARI
President Muhammadu Buhari at the weekend admitted that Nigeria has joined the Islamic Coalition against terrorism formed by Saudi . He disclosed this in an interview he granted Aljazeera news agency.
Buhari was asked whether Nigeria was part of the group, to which he said ; We are part it because we've got terrorists in Nigeria that everybody knows who claim they're Islamic"
"So, if there's an Islamic coalition to fight terrorism,Nigeria will be part of it because we're casualties of Islamic terrorism."
Asked whether he had suggested Nige's membership of the coalition during his meeting with King Salman Bin Abdul-Aziz recently, Buhari replied, "yes"
The President, however, refused to disclose how such coalition would work for Nigeria, he said : "Well, that we mentioned under Lake Chad Basin Commission Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Benin and we dedicated a certain number of troops to be deployed in our own sub-region and l don't think we have to tell the Press the details of that "
Asked if such membership would serve Nigeria's security interests, the President said : : " Certaiy. I have just told you it is the Boko Haram itself that declared loyalty to ISIS. ''
'ISIS is basically based in Islamic countries. Now, if there's a coalition to fight Islamic terrorism, why can't Nigeria be part of it, while those that are fighting in Nigeria as Boko Haram claim to be Muslims. But the way they are doing, it is anti-Islamic '.
When he was informed that since Nigeria was evenly divided between Christians and Muslims and some Christians were complaining he was giving Islamic identity to Nigeria, Buhari wondered why such Christians had not gone to fight Boko Haram in the North or militants sabotaging installations in the South.
"Why can't those Christians that complained ggo and fight terrorism in Nigeria or fight the militancy in the South. It's Nigeria that matters, not the opinion of some religious bigots, '' he stated.
On religious advocates hurting the innocent and just because the Muslims are the ones that claim to be Boko Haram and they are killing innocent people whether in the church, in the bus or in market place, then, I will just sit and look at them because I am a Muslim ? Islam is against injustice in any form '', he said.
Buhari's admission of Nigeria's membership of the coalition came just under two weeks after Presidency statement seemed to suggest that he had turned down the invitation to be part of the coalition.

EITHER YOU RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA OR WE BREAK …FEMI FANI-KAYODE BLASTS BUHARI
A CALL TO THE CHRISTIAN FAITHFUL AND A WARNING TO THE BIGOTS IN OUR MIDST
"Christians commit more wicked crimes than terrorists....they commit crimes against humanity" Sa'ad Abubakar, Sultan of Sokoto, Benin City, Aug.15th 2016, NAIJ.COM
It is welcome news that Mr. Anjem Choudary, Britain's "most hated man" and the radical British Islamist who pledged an oath of allegiance to the leader of ISIS, Amir Abubakar Al Baghdadi, has been jailed in the United Kingdom.
This was a man who encouraged islamic fundamentalism and terror and who has spent many years on the international television networks trying to justify the actions of Al Qaeda, Al Nusra, Boko Haram, the Taliban, Al Shabab, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Daesh, Abu Sayyaf and all the other evil muslim terror groups in the world that believe in the establishment of a new world caliphate where sharia law is imposed on everyone.
If the truth be told there are many Ansem Choudarys in Nigeria: as a matter of fact many of those that think like him now run the affairs of our country and that is our major challenge.
The fact that Nigerian Christians have been so accomodating, tolerant and restrained in the face of what has been going on in the last one year is a glaring testimony to their maturity and decency.
It is not a sign of weakness but rather evidence of true strength.
I say this because it takes courage not to retaliate when you are consistently marginalised, insulted, cheated, pillaged, raped, murdered, singled out for destruction and treated like filth.
Yet it is not just about being restrained even in the face of the worst type of provocation.
The children of the Lord, the believers and the faithful still have so much more to do in order to protect ourselves from the relentless onslaught of the Islamists in our country like Boko Haram and the Fulani herdsmen and from the excesses of a Federal Government that is hell bent on turning Christians into an endangered species and second class citizens.
Anyone that doubts that this is the case would do well to read the seminal and well-researched contribution made by the elder-statesman Chief Solomon Asemota SAN a few days ago which was titled "Discriminatory Appointments Against Non-Muslims In Nigeria" and another equally insightful piece titled "A Letter To Sensless Christians" (Parts 1 and 2) which was written by Mr. Ishaku Abdul'Rahman Mohammed, a Muslim convert.
Though much of the Nigerian print media, out of fear of the authorities, have refused to publish either of them, the two essays are all over the internet and they can be easily accessed there.
Today, more than at any other time in our history, Christians must be united in our country.
Anything less than that would lead to our collective defeat and destruction and it would feed into the narrative of those who wish to islamise our nation.
It is for this reason that I am a little concerned by what appears to be happening in the Christian Assiciation of Nigeria (CAN).
It is very important that the Christian community in Nigeria keeps a united front and supports the new leadership of CAN.
No matter what our differences may be, the attempt to discredit and destroy CAN by threats of breaking off from it by any group is counter-productive and dangerous to our collective cause.
When the Muslim fundamentalists and Fulani herdsmen kill our brothers and sisters, when the Federal and core northern state governments discriminate against us and persecute members of our faith, when the Sultan of Sokoto says that Christians indulge in more wicked acts than any other group in the world and when you have a religiously partial man as your President who says that sharia law should be spread into every state of the federation, you do not split your ranks and give room to your collective enemies.
This brings me to another point. Other than yours truly no-one has made the point that the Chibok girls are virtually all Christians.
First of all Boko Haram abducted, raped, killed, enslaved and Islamised them and now our Muslim-controlled and Muslim-led military are carpet-bombing them from the sky and murdering them.
I watched the video on CNN today and I wept-especially after I watched the interview of the mother of the young girl who had spoken from captivity. Those are CHRISTIAN girls and just look at what they are being subjected to.
Regardless of their faith, whether they be Christian or Muslim, no child should be subjected to such atrocities but the truth is that the fact that virtually all the communities and towns that Boko Haram managed to torment, capture or hoist their evil black flag over since the war started were predominantly Christian communities like Mubi, Biu, Chibok, Dikwa, Bama, Gwoza, Banki and Potiskum and this is food for thought.
This is a point that is relevant but that is purposely underplayed and ignored by the Nigerian and international media for obvious reasons.
President Jonathan may not have been able to rescue the Chibok girls but at least his army and airforce did not carpet-bomb them. At least he did not order that they should be aeriel-bombed to death and slaughtered if they cant be rescued.
And you can bet your bottom dollar that if those girls had come from a Muslim community and not a Christian one like Chibok, the government, and more likely than not Boko Haram itself, would have been more restrained and they would not have bombed and killed them in the way that they are doing.
Yet the Bible says "vengeance belongs to the Lord". It says that He "will repay". I have little doubt that in the fullness of time He will repay the powers that be for what they are doing to the Body of Christ and to our brothers and sisters in the Lord.
Meanwhile I sincerely hope that the northern Christians will not break ranks with the rest of us and that we maintain our unity.
I sincerely hope that the Judas' in our ranks and all those that are being used as agents of division and destruction by the government in return for a fee think twice and retrace their steps.
That is the only way that we can win in what has become, to all intents and purposes, a religious cold war in Nigeria. It is a spiritual war. It is a war of attrition and it is a fight for the very soul and future of our nation.
It is a war that will be long and subtle and in which there will be many casualties: yet it is a war that must be fought and must be won. Everything depends on it.
Permit me to end this contribution with the following. When a few misguided individuals from the south, who are obviously suffering from what is commonly reffered to as "Stockholm's syndrome", clap for men like the so-called elder-statesman Alhaji Lawal Kaita when he says "the north will not allow the restructuring or break- up of Nigeria" and that "those that are calling for either of the two are calling for a second civil war" it amuses me.
In their slavish attempt to fawn over their captors and to please the "master race" they forget that Mr. Ken Saro-Wiwa and Mr. Isaac Adaka Boro, two great and patriotic sons of the Niger Delta who swam against the tide of the people of the old Eastern region at the time of the civil war, who fought against the quest for self-determination by the Igbo people and who, together with the rest of Nigeria, resisted the quest for the establishment of the sovereign state of Biafra, were both executed by northern Heads of State who presided over the affairs of a united Nigeria at the time.
The first was General Yakubu Gowon and the second was General Sani Abacha. The same set of northerner leaders conspired with others and jailed Chief Obafemi Awolowo and President Olusegun Obasanjo on false and trumped-up charges simply because they resisted their hidden agenda and exposed their excesses.
This ought to be food for thought for every southerner and Middle Belter worth his salt, especially those who make a habit of sitting at the feet of our collective oppressors and worshipping them.
We must learn from history and we must not repeat its mistakes. If, God forbid, there is another civil war in this country people like Kaita and those that he represents will be confronted with a very different adversary when compared to the one that they faced before and they will rue the day that they ever threatened or sought to impose their will on the rest of us.
If, God-forbid, it were to ever happen again, this time around, the south, the northern minorities and the Middle Belt would be united in their resolve and the core Muslim north would be driven into the desert and into the waiting arms of the Republic of Niger and Chad.
Someone should make this point to the Lawal Kaitas of this world and all the other arch-conservatives and hegemonists who are still living in an inglorious past. The word today is that either we restructure Nigeria or we break her. Simple as that.
This is a battle between a child of perdition and a child of promise. It is a struggle between the sons of Kings and the sons of slaves. It is a struggle between the forces of light and the forces of darkness. We cannot run from it and we cannot shun it.
We must stand up and fight it with all that we have got. We must secure our liberation and we must ensure that our children and our childrens children have something to look forward to and something to live for.
To the faithful I have only the following left to say: the battle belongs to the Lord and our victory is assured.
On 17th August 2016 Mr. Donald Trump, the billionaire and presidential candidate of the American Republican party said the following:
"The rise of ISIS is the direct result of policy decisions made by President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton. We cannot let this evil continue. We will defeat Islamic terrorism just like we've defeated every threat before".
How right he is. Let us hope that he wins because if he does the world will be a far safer and better place for believers.

Meanwhile I sincerely hope that the northern Christians will not break ranks with the rest of us and that we maintain our unity.
I sincerely hope that the Judas' in our ranks and all those that are being used as agents of division and destruction by the government in return for a fee think twice and retrace their steps.
That is the only way that we can win in what has become, to all intents and purposes, a religious cold war in Nigeria. It is a spiritual war. It is a war of attrition and it is a fight for the very soul and future of our nation.
It is a war that will be long and subtle and in which there will be many casualties: yet it is a war that must be fought and must be won. Everything depends on it.
Permit me to end this contribution with the following. When a few misguided individuals from the south, who are obviously suffering from what is commonly reffered to as "Stockholm's syndrome", clap for men like the so-called elder-statesman Alhaji Lawal Kaita when he says "the north will not allow the restructuring or break- up of Nigeria" and that "those that are calling for either of the two are calling for a second civil war" it amuses me.
In their slavish attempt to fawn over their captors and to please the "master race" they forget that Mr. Ken Saro-Wiwa and Mr. Isaac Adaka Boro, two great and patriotic sons of the Niger Delta who swam against the tide of the people of the old Eastern region at the time of the civil war, who fought against the quest for self-determination by the Igbo people and who, together with the rest of Nigeria, resisted the quest for the establishment of the sovereign state of Biafra, were both executed by northern Heads of State who presided over the affairs of a united Nigeria at the time.
The first was General Yakubu Gowon and the second was General Sani Abacha. The same set of northerner leaders conspired with others and jailed Chief Obafemi Awolowo and President Olusegun Obasanjo on false and trumped-up charges simply because they resisted their hidden agenda and exposed their excesses.
This ought to be food for thought for every southerner and Middle Belter worth his salt, especially those who make a habit of sitting at the feet of our collective oppressors and worshipping them.
We must learn from history and we must not repeat its mistakes. If, God forbid, there is another civil war in this country people like Kaita and those that he represents will be confronted with a very different adversary when compared to the one that they faced before and they will rue the day that they ever threatened or sought to impose their will on the rest of us.
If, God-forbid, it were to ever happen again, this time around, the south, the northern minorities and the Middle Belt would be united in their resolve and the core Muslim north would be driven into the desert and into the waiting arms of the Republic of Niger and Chad.
Someone should make this point to the Lawal Kaitas of this world and all the other arch-conservatives and hegemonists who are still living in an inglorious past. The word today is that either we restructure Nigeria or we break her. Simple as that.
This is a battle between a child of perdition and a child of promise. It is a struggle between the sons of Kings and the sons of slaves. It is a struggle between the forces of light and the forces of darkness. We cannot run from it and we cannot shun it.
We must stand up and fight it with all that we have got. We must secure our liberation and we must ensure that our children and our childrens children have something to look forward to and something to live for.
To the faithful I have only the following left to say: the battle belongs to the Lord and our victory is assured.
On 17th August 2016 Mr. Donald Trump, the billionaire and presidential candidate of the American Republican party said the following:
"The rise of ISIS is the direct result of policy decisions made by President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton. We cannot let this evil continue. We will defeat Islamic terrorism just like we've defeated every threat before".
How right he is. Let us hope that he wins because if he does the world will be a far safer and better place for believers.

Gov. Nwike Shows Support for Operation Crocodile Smile in The Niger Delta …
Governor Wike declares support for Operation Crocodile Smile
▪Buratai explains the nature of the operation
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared his support for the Operation Crocodile Smile by the Nigerian Army, saying that he will do everything to ensure peace and security in the Niger Delta.
This is as the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai explained that the Operation Crocodile Smile was introduced to train army personnel on the techniques of operating in the Niger Delta.
Governor Wike spoke on Monday when he granted audience to the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai and Senior Army Officers at the Government House, Port Harcourt.
The governor said: "The Rivers State Government is fully in support of the Operation Crocodile Smile. I was fully briefed by the Brigade Commander and we associate ourselves with the programme because it will make the Niger Delta safer.
"One of the advantages of the programme is that hoodlums in the creeks are being uprooted for a safer Niger Delta. I support the programme insofar as it is done with the constitution ".
According to the governor, the Rivers State Government will sustain its support for security agencies to create the right atmosphere for democratic governance.
He said that the State Government has procured 6 New Armoured Personnel Carriers for the Police and in the process of concluding the acquisition of 10 gunboats for the Nigerian Navy.
Earlier, the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai said that the Operation Crocodile Smile will ensure that the security challenges in the Niger Delta are addressed and peace enhanced.
He said: "The Operation Crocodile Smile is an exercise to train our troops on amphibious operations ".
The Army Chief said that the exercise seeks to provide the civil authorities with the right environment to carry out governance.
He said the exercise will ensure that the troops are professional with the required training to conduct operations within the law.
He said: "Our waters are generally porous. The Nigerian Army has amphibious capabilities in conjunction with the Nigerian Navy to carry out limited operations within the creeks".
General Buratai added that another aspect of the Operation Crocodile Smile will witness the Army intervening in critical areas of need for the communities. He said that the Army has already embarked on medical outreach in Bille (Rivers State) and Nembe (Bayelsa State).

PROTEST AGAINST THE BUHARI'S ADMINISTRATION …BALARABE MUSA SPEAKS
Protest against Buhari’s administration – Balarabe Musa advises Nigerians
Following the present economic state of Nigeria, the National Chairman of Conference of Nigeria Political Parties, CNPP, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, has urged citizens to stage a protest against the Buhari-led administration.
Musa noted that except hunger, nothing else pushes people to revolt against a government because the primary responsibility of government is the welfare of the people.
He urged President Muhammadu Buhari not to shy away from his responsibility.
In an interview with the Sun, the former governor of Kaduna state said his advice to Nigerians over hunger and economic hardship in the country was simply protest.
He said, “Well, they should protest. I know that it is a risk because security men may shoot them. However, they should protest because this is their life. Somebody is playing with their lives, somebody is destroying their lives, they should defend their lives and protect their interest.
“Before the last general election, many Nigerians saw Buhari as an angel who could rescue the country from socio-economic problems but Nigerians are now saying that they misjudged, and Nigerians should in future make sure that they access any prospective leader critically, taking into account his records, his inclination and everything, particularly records of performance in office.
“Nigerians are not different from the rest of human kinds; they are not different from the rest of the people in the world. Whatever people did in the world to protect themselves or show their anger against bad government, Nigerians can do it, and nobody should deceive himself that Nigerians are so docile, that they will not revolt. Anger pushes anybody to the limit.”
Although the government has continued to tell Nigerians to be patient, Musa said it’s all political gimmick.
According to him, “The idea of government asking Nigerians to be patient can only be sustained in a situation whereby people see hope and changes. But where people don’t see changes, where they don’t see the basis for expecting changes, and they suffer continuously, appealing to them to be patient i may befutile.
“There is hunger in the land and Nigerians are dying of hunger. I dare to warn the President and everybody that can listen, that history has proved that mass hunger, hunger of the population, mass poverty of the population, killer hunger have always been the most immediate cause of proletarian revolution in every country of the world. And the President should know this; let him not be deceived by those who are benefitting from the current situation of hunger.”
Speaking further, Musa recalled that the President has said at different occasions that Nigeria is broke.
“In my opinion, Nigeria can’t be broke, the country is very rich. The problem is the system and the managers of the economy. The problem of Nigeria is real, but it is something that can be managed. But as I told you, if the President is looking for an answer, he will get it; he can get it in what I have said; change the system and the leadership like I have said.
“It is definitely true APC inherited this bad situation, but APC came to power with the promise of correcting the negative state of the nation. In this case, instead of correcting it, they are just complaining, making promises, how can they continue to do this over one year of leadership?
“We want to see them really doing work, and there is no way they can do any work and achieve anything without changing the system and the leadership inevitably produced by the system, both of which are based on self interest first, public interest second or even incidental. This should be changed in favour of public interest first and self interest second.
“This can deal with this level of corruption, stealing and criminal waste of resources which is the root of the problem of Nigeria. In the history of Nigeria, up till 1970, the philosophy was public interest first, and self interest second. And the states maintain the leading roles in the economy, and that is why up till 1970, there wasn’t this level of corruption, stealing and criminal wasting of resources.
“We have known times in Nigeria before 1970 when nobody could steal a kobo of public funds and get away with it.
“Today, if you are a favourite of the President, the governor or the local government chairman or who they have appointed into office, you can steal anything and get away with it provided you are lucky because some people stole, they are not lucky and they are caught,” he added.

“Today, if you are a favourite of the President, the governor or the local government chairman or who they have appointed into office, you can steal anything and get away with it provided you are lucky because some people stole, they are not lucky and they are caught,” he added.

CHRISTIANS, WE MUST RESIST AND FIGHT BACK BOKO HARAM AND MUSLIMS ; FEMI FANI-KAYODE
THE NIGER DELTA CRUSADERS, THE MUSLIM PILGRIMS AND THE UNITED STATES OF NIGERIA (PART 1)
"If Boko Haram kills Christians and burns down churches, we will slay Muslims and raze down mosques. We want to warn them that we, the Niger Delta youths, in this 21st century will not accept the killing of innocent Christians or the burning of churches. That if they try it in the north or any part of Nigeria, we the Niger Delta youths will not see any Muslim or mosque in the Niger Delta”- NIGER DELTA REVOLUTIONARY CRUSADERS, VANGUARD NEWSPAPER, 5th AUGUST, 2016.
It is no longer news that the new leader of Boko Haram, Mr. Abu Musa Al Barnawi, who apparantly has the backing of ISIS, has said that he will target only Christians and burn down all the Churches in the country.
He has also said that Muslims and mosques will no longer be targetted and that Mr. Abubakar Shekau, the erstwhile leader and principal voice of the terror group, is no longer the leader.
Mr. Shekau has responded by saying that he will continue to slaughter whoever he pleases and that he remains the authentic leader. There appears to be a very serious rift in the ranks of Boko Haram which is good news.
As far as I am concerned the two factions can do us all a favour by destroying one another and burning in hell.
Anyone that targets Christians and Churches, or indeed any innocent civilians for slaughter, is not worthy of life. They are nothing but vermin and, like the cockroaches that they are, they must be crushed.
Mr. Shekau is evil but Mr. Al Barnawi is even worse: he is the devil incarnate. He represents ISIS and we all know what that means.
Whichever way we look at it and whatever is going on within the ranks of Boko Haram we must not loose sight of the bigger picture. And that bigger picture points to one thing: Nigeria is in a mess.
Quite apart from the poverty and hardship that has afflicted the land coupled with the total destruction of the economy and quite apart from the shattering of peoples dreams and the drastic reduction in their standard of living by the ineffectual and barren fiscal and economic policies of an inept and incompetent government, our President did not stop there.
He also went as far as to appoint as his Minister of Sports a man who is clearly (to use Donald Trump's words about Hilary Clinton) "unbalanced and unhinged".
This is a man that can barely speak english and who, during the week of the Olympics, publicly referred to our country as "the United States Of Nigeria" whilst reprimanding our Olympic football team for getting stuck in America and arriving late in Brazil.
Someone should tell Honorable Minister Solomon Dalung that it was HIS job to get our boys to Rio De Janeiro on time and that it was something of a scandal and a national embarrasment that it took the last minute intervention and assistance of Delta Air, a private American airline, to get them there in time for their match with Japan.
Whilst our boys did us proud by going on to defeat Japan and later Sweden, the video of the Minister disparaging them and spouting nonsense about some fictitious and imaginary country called 'the United States of Nigeria' whilst wearing his ridiculous red beret went viral on the internet. A fool goes by no other name.
In normal climes the Minister would have been forced to resign the following day and he would have been compelled to apologise to the nation that he is purportedly serving for forgetting its name. Sadly though there is nothing that is "normal" about Nigeria or the Buhari administration.
Equally abysmal was the recent outing of Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, President Buhari's "super Minister" of Power, Works and Housing, on BBC TV's Hardtalk.
Before millions of viewers from all over the world, the Minister told his host Mr. Stephen Sackhur a shameless and pernicious lie by claiming that he never promised Nigerians an increase in power generation and supply.
It is his inability to be forthright, to appreciate the virtues of telling the truth and to keep his election promises that has earned my aburo Tunde Fashola the nickname of Minister of Darkness.
Since he was appointed 'super Minister' the power generation in our country has dropped from 5000 megawatts at the time when President Jonathan left office just over a year ago to under 2000 megawatts today. Worst still he has not managed to construct or complete the refurbishment of a single road.
Yet it is not the crippled economy, the erring and dim-witted Minister of Sports, the intellectually dishonest and lying Minister of Power, Works and Housing or any of the other numerous foibles of the Buhari administration that gives us the most concern today.
It is rather the gradual and systematic generation and invocation of a frightful and cataclysmic atmosphere of war and the looming threat and increasing likelihood of a great and violent ethnic and religious conflict, the likes of which Africa has never seen before.
If it is not Boko Haram that is slaughtering our people it is the Fulani herdsmen. Worse still they are doing these despicable things with the active connivance and support of a few people that are in the corridors of power today whose objective is to islamise our nation, plunge us into a fiery abyss and create chaos.
The bible says 'there is no fellowship between light and darkness'. We have said it before and we will say it again: we must restructure Nigeria before it is too late. If we fail to do so we will have no choice but to reconsider our so-called unity.
If things don't change quickly we must consider the possibility of dividing our country and renegotiating our union.
We cannnot afford to wait any longer because we are playing with fire and we are sitting on a keg of gunpowder. We must attempt to do whatever needs to be done peacefully and we must not allow the butchers and those that kill in the name of their god to provoke us into another civil war.
Nothing represents the danger of the war that is looming more than the response of the Niger Delta Revolutionary Crusaders (an affliate of the Niger Delta Avengers) to Al Barnawi's threat.
They responded by saying that if Christians and Churches are targetted by Boko Haram they will kill all the Muslims in the Niger Delta area and they will burn down all the mosques. It is a simple case of "action" and "reaction" and I sincerely hope that those that are use to killing others and not being killed themselves take them seriously.
Clearly we are living in dangerous times and I sincerely hope that those that brought religion into our politics in 2015 and that used Islam and the Boko Haram offensive as a political tool against a southern Christian President are seeing the fruits of their labour.
When you invoke the proverbial genie and let it out of the kettle you must be prepared to live with the consequences and whatever follows.
Yet the folly does not stop there. As if our sensibilities were not already sufficiently provoked President Buhari took the religious dance to yet another level last week by directing the Central Bank of Nigeria to sell foreign exchange to Muslim pilgrims that were on their way to Saudi Arabia for hajj at 197 naira to 1 USD.
This whilst everyone else, including students, manufacturers, businessmen, Christian pilgrims, the ailing and holiday-makers, must continue to buy at 400 naira to 1 USD. When the math is done this amounts to a whooping N7.9 billion naira concession for Muslim pilgrims.
And all this in a country that is not only impoverished and whose people are suffering from the worst economic hardship and poverty crunch since independence but also one that is meant to be a secular state.
Such is the national outrage that President Buhari's forex concession to his Muslim brothers and sisters has provoked that a well-known political commentator and activist Mr. Paul Achalla wrote the following on his Facebook wall on August 5th:
"N410 to $1 for business, education, entrepreneurship, food processing, manufacturing, etc. and N197 to $1 for pilgrims going to Saudi Arabia? Bluntly put, Boko Haram ideology won Nigeria's 2015 general election!!!"
Paul Achalla is right. How can this sort of nonsense be justified in a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-religious secular state? Is Buhari's Nigeria crafted only for the Muslim north? Is Saudi Arabia now the spiritual headquarters of our nation?
If it is not the Sultan of Sokoto declaring public holidays, it is the President giving subsidised rates of foreign exchange and preferential treatment to members of his own religious faith.
If it is not that he is leading our country into a sinister and dangerous military coalition of Sunni Muslim nations it is that he is holding conferences in Abuja with foreign Muslim clerics whose stated objective is to "spread sharia throughout Nigeria" and islamise our country.
Worst still virtually all his Service Chiefs and principal commanders in his Armed Forces together with his National Security Advisor, his Minister of Defence, his Minister of Internal Affairs, his Inspector General of Police, his Chief of Defence Intelligence, his Director General of State Security, his Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, his Commander of the National Civil Defence Corps, his Comptroller General of Customs, his Comptroller General of Immigration, his Comptroller General of Prisons and ALL his other security, para-security and intelligence agencies, bar one, are northern Muslims.
Can there be any greater form of corruption, abuse of power, injustice and betrayal of trust than this? Does this not prove the fact that our country is in dire need of restructuring? (TO BE CONTNUED).

Nnamdi Kanu's Prophecy Fulfilled! Nigeria Should Eat Their National Team, I'm Done With Them -
Siasia Disappointed
His words: “My next step is that I am done with Nigeria for now. You can’t keep going to a place where they don’t appreciate you. It does not worth it. Sometimes it is not about the money but the approach. They seem not to appreciate the sacrifices.
“I know how much I have sacrificed since the team began camping two years ago. How can you keep going to people who don’t appreciate you? It does not make sense, so I am done for now.
“I have to go somewhere else where they will appreciate what I have done and what I can do and pay me the respect that I deserve.”
Siasia also revealed that the federal government has taken away the car given to him.

IF I WERE THE GOVERNOR OF ENUGU STATE… BY KEN ANORUO ; A BARRISTER AND A LEGAL PRACTITIONER
*FULANI HERDS MEN'S LUNACY*:
Come on! Give me the governor's seat. The recklessness and rascality of these blood thirsty barbarians called fulani herds men have of a truth gone out of hands and must stop. Over the years, we have preached peace and unity but it is obvious they don't have those words in their vocabulary. As things are now, it is obvious that some highly placed individuals are indeed behind these senseless killings. It is obvious that some guys in both the state and political corridor have a lot to gain from this state of nature where life has become nasty, brutish and short.
If not so, how come no arrest has been made ?The last time this happened in Enugu State, the governor declared some days of fasting and prayer. Whether it was for God to accept the souls of the innocent citizens murdered shamelessly in their homes before the watchful eyes of those who were charged to protect their lives and property, for no offense. Or for God to send His Angels to protect Enugu State and other victim states. Whichever be the case, now another one has happened. This time a seminarian, a pregnant woman and many others. If I were the governor, I would place an out right ban on grazing activities of any kind in Enugu state. If I were the governor I would ban, with immediate effect, the sales of beef (cow meat) in Enugu state. If I were the governor, I would embark on an immediate registration of every Hausa/Fulani resident in Enugu state. If only I were the Governor. Come on! Give me the governor's seat for just a day, what the hell is all these ?
Come on! Give me the governor's seat. The recklessness and rascality of these blood thirsty barbarians called fulani herds men have of a truth gone out of hands and must stop. Over the years, we have preached peace and unity but it is obvious they don't have those words in their vocabulary. As things are now, it is obvious that some highly placed individuals are indeed behind these senseless killings. It is obvious that some guys in both the state and political corridor have a lot to gain from this state of nature where life has become nasty, brutish and short.
If not so, how come no arrest has been made ?The last time this happened in Enugu State, the governor declared some days of fasting and prayer. Whether it was for God to accept the souls of the innocent citizens murdered shamelessly in their homes before the watchful eyes of those who were charged to protect their lives and property, for no offense. Or for God to send His Angels to protect Enugu State and other victim states. Whichever be the case, now another one has happened. This time a seminarian, a pregnant woman and many others. If I were the governor, I would place an out right ban on grazing activities of any kind in Enugu state. If I were the governor I would ban, with immediate effect, the sales of beef (cow meat) in Enugu state. If I were the governor, I would embark on an immediate registration of every Hausa/Fulani resident in Enugu state. If only I were the Governor. Come on! Give me the governor's seat for just a day, what the hell is all these ?
THE BIOGRAPHY OF UMARU MUSA YAR'ADUA
Yar’Adua was born to an elite Fulani family, and his birth
place was an important centre of Islamic learning. His family was prominent in both traditional and modern politics; his father served as a federal minister during the First Republic (1960–66), and his late elder brother, Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, served in the military government of 1976–79. Yar’Adua received a university education at Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria. From 1975 to 1983 he taught in various colleges and a polytechnic school before becoming a businessman, serving in management and as a director of many companies.
Yar’Adua first entered party politics as a mobilizer for the (now defunct) People’s Redemption Party. During the long transition program (1989–93) to restore the Nigerian government to civilian rule, he became a founding member of the Peoples’ Front, a political association led by his elder brother, which eventually became the core of the (now defunct) Social Democratic Party. Yar’Adua began concentrating on state politics in 1991, when he stood as a candidate in the Katsina state gubernatorial election, which he lost. Seven years later Yar’Adua participated in the founding of the K34 political association, which later merged with the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). He again ran for governor, winning election in 1999 and reelection in 2003. As state governor, he focused on the socioeconomic development of his state, with particular attention to the educational and health sectors, and was known for being financially prudent: not only did he pay down the huge state debt that he had inherited, but he also accumulated a $50 million surplus in the treasury.
To the surprise of many, in 2006 Yar’Adua was selected by the Nigerian president and PDP leader, Olusegun Obasanjo, to be the PDP’s candidate in the presidential elections scheduled for the next year. Although Yar’Adua ran against several well-known and popular Nigerian military leaders and politicians, he went on to win a decisive landslide victory with 70 percent of the vote in the April 2007 election. His victory was clouded, however, as the election was marred by widespread violence, voter intimidation, and reports of vote rigging and was strongly criticized by domestic and international observers. Nonetheless, on May 29, 2007, in the capital of Abuja, he was inaugurated as Nigeria’s 13th president. The ceremony had particular historical significance, as it was the first time in the country’s history that an elected civilian head of state had handed over power to another.
Yar’Adua faced the enormous task of maintaining the development programs begun by his predecessor, establishing peace and reconciliation in the Niger delta, and continuing the war against widespread systemic corruption. He was subject to rumours regarding his health, as he had traveled abroad for medical treatment several times in the years prior to his presidency and continued to do so after his election. Yar’Adua’s ability to serve while dealing with health issues was called into question after he went to Saudi Arabia in late November 2009 for treatment of heart problems and kidney problems. After he had been absent from Nigeria for several weeks, critics complained of a power vacuum in the country, and there were calls for Yar’Adua to formally transfer power to the vice president, Goodluck Jonathan. Although a ruling by a Nigerian court on Jan. 29, 2010, indicated that Yar’Adua was not obligated to hand over power to the vice president while he was out of the country for medical treatment, the controversy surrounding his prolonged absence remained. On Feb. 9, 2010, the National Assembly voted to have Jonathan assume full power and serve as acting president until Yar’Adua was able to resume his duties. Jonathan agreed and assumed power later that day, but it was unclear whether or not the assumption of power was constitutional. When Yar’Adua returned to Nigeria on Feb. 24, 2010, it was announced that Jonathan would remain as acting president while Yar’Adua continued to recuperate. Yar’Adua never fully recovered, however, and died several weeks later. He was succeeded by Jonathan.

CHARITY AND WELFARISM ; A DUTY FOR ALL, NOT FOR THE GOVERNMENT ALONE, WITH GINA MENSAH ; AN ACTRESS AND A MODEL
In the past, both government and individual citizens were known for their genuine and kind gestures towards the less privileged in the society. But today, it’s a mere publicity stunt and electioneering campaign strategy to win votes, undermining the actual pain and suffering these said individuals pass through on daily basis to survive the cruelty of this world; ranging from homelessness, disabilities, hunger, joblessness, infirmities, rejection/neglect etc. It is therefore wicked and ungodly to see people aggravate their suffering and mock their existence by faking kindness, diverting funds meant for their welfare or using them for cheap political scores.
The Nigerian government is duty- bound to take care of all her citizenry, most especially the ones that require care the most, i.e. the less privileged, although we may differ on who qualifies as less privileged, but lets accept the fact that anybody not able to meet his basic needs is less privileged, whether able or disabled, and should be catered for in any way suitable to reinstating his human dignity, either through gainful employment, scholarship, entrepreneurial skill/setup, etc. While those of intensive care, such as orphans, old people, poor pensioners, disabled, the sick etc should be drafted into a government welfare schemes like a social security scheme. We also enjoin good meaning Nigerians to get involved in the process as government cannot do it all. We all must lend a helping hand.

SEX EDUCATION : WHY SOME LADIES HAVE LUST FOR MEEN …, WITH GINA MENSAH ; AN ACTRESS AND A MODEL
A FEW REASONS WHY WOMEN LUST AFTER GUYS
If we look at this issue from a logical point of view, the fact that women generally love bigger penis sizes has nothing to do with how religious or decent she is! Women’s preference for men with bigger than average size penises has to do with the amount of sexual
pleasure that she is going to receive during sexual intercourse.
Of course in the eyes of a woman, a big manhood looks a lot more better than a
tiny one... This is similar to the
way guys like big breasts and big buttocks …
but you see unlike men that like it purely just because of appearance, women’s preference for bigger packages in men goes beyond just the visual excitement alone! Every woman would tell you that
sex with guy with a big manhood is so much more
enjoyable and sweeter than with a man that has a tiny size. This is basically as a result of the anatomy of the
vagina. A bigger penis has more surface area which means it has the ability to stimulate more sexual pleasure nerves and spots around and deep into the vagina. Maybe you are an advocate of using your tongue (oralsex) and fingers (fingering) to please a woman and help her achieve orgasms... yes
that works too!
However, you need to bear it in mind that vaginal orgasms are much more powerful than
clitoralorgasms. Give a woman a
vaginal orgasm and she wouldrespect and become submissive
to you. This is simply because
vaginal orgasms are much more
explosive,enjoyable and longer lasting than clitoral orgasms
(which you can help a woman achieve using your tongue or
fingers!). Vaginal orgasms are
achieved by a dual combination
of stimulating her vagina and
clitoris at the same time… and
a small penis cannot do this!
Only a penis that is thick and
long enough can do this !
Just like we both love women
with big buttocks, wide hips and
big breasts so it is with women
and big dicks! Just the mere
sight of an erect big penis
sexually excites a woman and
makes her body much more
willing to achieve orgasms after
orgasms this is similar to the way
a lady with massive boobs
just merely shaking her boobs in
a seductive manner causes
almost every guy to become horny! So a man with a massive “
package” instantly sets so many
women in the mood for
penetration!

LMC FLIES FOR STAY OF EXCECUTION OF COURT ORDER ON REINSTATEMENT OF GIWA FC… ASKS APPEAL COURT TO STAY ASIDE
The League Management Company (LMC) on Tuesday, August 23 filed an appeal against the Plateau State High Court order asking it to reinstate Giwa FC to the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL). The LMC, in its appeal filed by Chief Akin Olujimi (SAN),aying the Court of Appeal to set aside the interim order of the Plateau State High Court, Jos on several grounds of law and challenging the jurisdiction of the lower court to have granted the orders in the first place.
In a related development, the League organizers also made an appearance through its counsel, Chief Akin Olujimi (SAN), before the High Court in Bukuru, near Jos-Plateau State presided over by MR Justice I.I Kunda and filed a motion urging the court to stay further action on the orders it issued last week.
It will be recalled that the order was made by the lower court in the suit filed by one Mustapha Abubakar, who claims to be suing for himself and Giwa FC, asking the Court to direct LMC to restore Giwa FC to the NPFL and reschedule all matches of the club, among other prayers.
But a new twist to the suit emerged when Giwa FC wrote to LMC to categorically dissociates itself from the suit filed by the said Mustapha Abubakar. In its letter to LMC, dated 22nd August, 2016, Giwa FC stated that it is not a party to the suit and has not instructed anybody to file a case on its behalf and, therefore, distance itself from the case entirely.
Giwa FC's disavowal of the suit is in compliance with the Written Undertaking that all Clubs in the NPFL individually signed and gave to LMC agreeing not to take any matter concerning NPFL to the ordinary courts, but rather to be subject to and be bound by the internal dispute resolution processes of NPFL and football governance, generally. This undertaken is one of the critical conditions demanded of any club or persons applying to participate in football activities globally
.
The LMC gave five grounds for the appeal which included lack of jurisdiction by the Jos High Court to hear the matter since the two principal defendants, the LMC and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) reside in Abuja and that the acts complained about which is the hearings and expulsion of Giwa FC also took place in Abuja.
A second ground of appeal filed by the counsel to the LMC was that the Jos High Court Judge who granted the order as a Vacation Judge is only entitled to hear cases of urgency and there must be an affidavit of urgency filed with the papers to show the facts of such urgency before the court can hear the matter. The LMC contend that there was no such affidavit of urgency and therefore it was wrong for the court to have heard the matter and grant orders as it did.
The LMC further averred in the appeal that it was also wrong of the Judge to have heard the case as a fundamental human rights case since Giwa FC Limited, the owner and operator of the football club and the football club itself cannot have fundamental human rights. “The law is settled in Nigeria that only natural persons and not corporate persons can have fundamental human rights. This point, additionally, goes to the lack of jurisdiction of the court to hear the case”, the LMC stated in the appeal papers.
The body further argued in the appeal that “In law, only a company can sue for itself for wrongs allegedly done to the company. Any person suing on behalf of a company must have the resolution of the company authorising that person to do so. That condition has not been fulfilled in this case”.
Giwa FC's letter buttresses and is a confirmation of LMC's position from the beginning that the said Mustapha Abubakar is an interloper, who has no dealings or connection whatsoever with LMC or the subject matter of Giwa FC's expulsion from NPFL, a decision which was reached with strict compliance with due process and the relevant provisions of the Framework and Rules of NPFL, 2015/2016 Season.
LMC said yesterday that it will continue to explore all legal processes available to have this vexatious and frivolous suit thrown out of the judicial system.
Hearing of the motion was adjourned till Thursday, August 25.

A DRUNK POLICE OFFICER BEATS AND THEATENS PASSENGERS IN MAIDUGURI
ATTENTION BY THE NIGERIAN POLICE FORCE, BENUE STATE COMMAND
This policeman, Mobile Unit on duty yesterday at about 2pm at Igyula along Gboko-Aliade Road took alcohol to stupor and was seriously misbehaving by threatening road users with the gun.
I tried getting his service number and name but his jacket covered the tags.
I saw him assured a commercial driver that he would have wasted his life by shooting him dead if it was at night, just because the driver told him that he does not have money to settle them.
He added that in Maiduguri, a driver can't waste a policeman's time to begin to explain that he doesn't have money for settlement; the police will just shoot the driver dead and throw him in the bush.
He warned the driver not to say a pleading word again rather than quietly settle them. One of the passengers who saw how the driver's vehicle has been having faults while they were coming gave him N30 to give to the policeman and plead further.
When the driver removed the N30 to give to the policeman, he asked him how much it was. The driver replied him that it's N30. The policeman became infuriated and started beating up the driver with his gun. He said the driver has insulted him by giving him N30.
His colleagues intervened but could not stop him. They told this reporter that their superior colleague is drunk and confessed he has been behaving like that since morning. According to them, they can't stop him because he is their superior.
I write this to request the Nigerian Police Force to call Gboko Command to trace this unprofessional policeman on duty yesterday at Igyula Community along Gboko-Aliade Road using the attached pictures. Those plying that route should also take caution in order not to risk their lives.
In the second picture below with money on ground in front of the policeman, he was doing so while trying to prove to the driver that he has enough money and not hungry enough to collect N30 from him.

I HANDED OVER A COUNTRY THAT HAS THE RICHEST MAN IN AFRICA… GEJ REPLIES TO CRITICS
I didn't hand over a collapsed nation to Buhari - Jonathan
Former President, Goodluck Jonathan has replied his critics who accused him of handing over a nation at the verge of collapse to his successor, President Muhammadu Buhari.
Jonathan recounted the achievements of his government to include, handing over a country that produced the richest man in Africa.
Jonathan said, “I took over a Nigeria that was the second largest economy in Africa with a GDP of $270.5 billion in 2009,
I handed over a Nigeria that had grown to become the largest economy in Africa and the 24th largest economy in the World with a GDP of $574 billion.
“I inherited a Nigeria in which the trains were not working, and handed over a Nigeria in which citizens can safely travel by trains again.
I inherited a Nigeria that was a net importer of cement, and handed over a Nigeria that is a net exporter of cement.
In 2009 the richest Nigerian was the 5th richest man in Africa, but I handed over a Nigeria that produced the richest man in Africa.
”The former President stated that democracy will continue to grow in the African continent if leaders value the process of elections more than the product of the process.
He said, “Even in the 2015 general elections in my country, Nigeria, there was potential for major crisis if I was not a President duly elected by the will of the people.
“The campaigns leading to the elections almost polarized the country into Christian v Muslims and North v South divide.
Most World leaders were worried that our elections will result into major crisis. Some pundits even from here in the United States said that those elections would spell the end of Nigeria and that we would cease to exist as a nation because of the polls.
“That is where the leadership question comes into play. As a leader that was duly elected by the people, I considered the people’s interest first.
How do I manage my people to avoid killings and destruction of properties? With the interest of the people propelling all the decisions I took, we were able to sail through. “Indeed, we sail through because I refused to interfere with the independence of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, having appointed a man I had never met in my life to run it.
My philosophy was simple. For elections to be credible, I as a leader, must value the process more than the product of the process. And the citizens must have confidence in the electoral body.
