How many of you internet users in Nigeria have seen the proposed Cyber-Crime bill which is before the House of Reps? For insulting someone online, you can get a 5year jail term. Like, for real? I don't understand why this government is not focusing on important things. They are now trying to clip the wings of news sites, blogs, readers/commenters and users of social media? They better not pass this bill into law. What about freedom of speech and expression? Find it below,  For using profane language on other people or pelting them with insults or abusive words on social networking sites, Internet users in Nigeria risk a jail term that ranges between 12 months and five years.  Section 18 sub-section 1 of the Cyber-Crime Bill 2013, which is pending before the House of Representatives, expressly states that anybody who “insults publicly, through a computer system or network” commits an offence and will be liable on conviction to imprisonment “for a term of not less than five yea

After 2015 election,  dwindling oil prices,  insurgents Displaced Millions though the are disarrayed,  Lots lids of cans of worms blown off in ONSA,  NNPC, NIMASA, customs etc etc ========================== One year ago we wrote this and revisited it now. =========================== WILD STORM AHEAD A cold shudder ran through my spine late Friday night, after INEC’s announcement of the timetable for the 2015 elections. It literally means the end of the Jonathan administration. In this transition period, the government will certainly become lame duck. My fear is that we are transiting to nowhere. There is no sign of life in this country anymore. I see bows and arrows everywhere. And gloomy faces. Unprecedented poverty and frustration levels. What passes for governance has been the silencing of 99.99 per cent of the population by a tiny minority sustained by instruments of coercion and overflowing oil wealth. Almost everyone else is angry – and grumbling. And someone says he is prep

Contrary to reports that the former minister of the Federal Capital Territory Mallam Nasir El-Rufai is being held over the night at the SSS Headquarters, Omojuwa.com can report that he has indeed left the Yellow House building of the Department of State Security Service and has returned home. This much was confirmed by sources close to the APC stalwart who has had a continued running battle with the SSS.

Was this the first blue-eyed man? 7,000-year-old DNA reveals European and African traits •Remains discovered 5000ft up mountains of north-west Spain •Findings suggest racial transformation happened later than thought •Man, dubbed La Brana 1, also shows similarity to Scandinavian DNA It means this 7,000-year-old caveman holds the clue to man’s genetic evolution. His remains were discovered 5,000ft up in the mountains of north-west Spain in 2006. Experts were astonished to find the ancient hunter-gatherer, given the name La Brana 1, had a combination of African and European genes. Results from an analysis of DNA taken from a tooth show he had dark – possibly black – hair and skin with deep blue eyes, the online edition of the journal Nature reports. The mixture of African and European traits implies that the racial transformation of modern humans was still in progress long after they left Africa, with changes in eye colour coming before alterations in skin tone.

‘APC will defeat PDP in 2015’ FORMER Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, has said that the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has not ended with the appointment of the new National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, alleging that the critical issue of polarisation in the party is still lingering. Atiku, who was interviewed by the Liberty Radio, Kaduna yesterday, said he was optimistic that the ruling PDP would be defeated in 2015 general election by the All Progressives Congress (APC). The former vice president, who expressed dissatisfaction with how the PDP is being run, said the party has lost all it takes to resolve the problems of the nation and put Nigeria on a part of real development. Doubting President Goodluck Jonathan’s political sagacity to hold the proposed national conference to address the nation’s ills, Atiku said: “There is nothing wrong for Nigerians talking to each other, but I do not see the Jonathan administration having the capacity to conduct elec

In My Humble opinion, This development where the Trio (Marwa, Nyako and Gundiri) with the other warring factions, camps, ab infinitio sit together to shelve their personal interests, come to the common grounds, adjust, compromise, be lenient.... If their gathering is for the common good of the Adamawa People, then we are one step towards development despite being a decade and half behind all our neigbouring sister STATES IN TERMS OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT. This recent occurrence stimulates my inner consciousness to imagine this gathering in a lager scale involving Uncles Atiku Abubakar, Gulak, BMT, Sen. Bello, Prof. Jibril , Sen Bindowo, Sen. Barata, BMT, Joel, Zingina, Bobbo, Muazu, Ardo, Boni..... ; all the Big-Wigs in my dear state coming together (Not fighting one another) for the overall betterment of us all. Imagine if they can put their heads, expertise, plans, initiatives and resources together and most importantly PUT THEIR VOICE TOGETHER IN THE NATIONAL POLITY AND PO

BY DANIEL IDONOR ANKARA, TURKEY — President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, said he has no ambition to stay in office beyond 2015, assuring Nigerians in Diaspora that while he will not contest the 2015 election, he will ensure that this year’s election is free and fair. The President promised that if voted in for the next four years, he would ensure significant improvement in key sectors of the economy — security, power, education, road, health amongst others. “Without security, there is no government. So it is not debatable, it is something we have to addressed and we are working towards that with vigour. But if I’m voted into power within the next four years, the issue of power will become a thing of the past. Four years is enough for anyone in power to make significant improvement and if I can’t improve on power within this period, it then means I cannot do anything even if I am there for the next four years.” Jonathan said this while interacting with Nigerians mainly diplom

My Dear Chief Anenih Sam Nda-Isaiah — January 27, 2014 The world is expecting me to respond today to the letter you wrote me, so I will go straight to the point. Your letter to me, sir, was a little strange because I can’t see what you intend to achieve. But, as my Esan friend recently told me, there is a saying in your place that “when a bird suddenly begins dancing on top of the tree, then there is music under the ground”. As the Iyasele of Esanland, you must be well familiar with that adage. But even with the music playing from Aso Rock, you should not have allowed yourself to write that kind of letter. The letter greatly diminished you, sir, and you must have already realised that from the kind of comments about you all over the social media since your letter was released. If the responses in the social media do not mean anything to you, surely, they will to your children and grandchildren. That is the stuff Nigerians have come to expect from Ahmed Gulak, Doyin Okupe and Reube

Posted by: BINALIYU on January 20, 2014 Seventeen Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senators are ready to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), during this week. One of the senators defecting, Bindowo Jibrilla, PDP, Adamawa North, disclosed defection plans in an interview to BBC Hausa on January 19, 2014, Sunday. He said the defecting senators will communicate their plans through separate letters to the Senate President, David Mark, shortly after resumption from recess. The 17 senators are among the 22 others who had indicated their interest to join the APC before the Christmas and New Year break began. He said he had already led the way by joining APC, saying he would announce it immediately after Senate resumption, after which others will follow. Senator Jibrilla boasted that the PDP would suffer for the maltreatment it gave to the governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, and other governors that defected from the party in December 2013. “The same thing that force
