The Real Truth! Buhari was in Germany on a Medical Trip- Junaid Mohammed

A Nigerian leader has revealed President Buhari's perceived mission in Germany which has been expertly done to prevent public knowledge.

With the dust yet to settle over an interview Aisha Buhari granted the British Broadcasting Corporation, a Second Republic lawmaker, Junaid Mohammed, has stated that the President’s recent trip to Germany was for medical reasons.

Mohammed, a Russian-trained medical doctor, revealed this in an interview with Sunday Punch on Saturday.

Mrs. Buhari had accused an unnamed cabal, made up of individuals who were not part of the struggle for Buhari’s emergence as president, of having hijacked the Presidency.

Expressing her frustration, Mrs. Buhari threatened not to support any attempt by her husband to re-contest in 2019 if things do not change. Mohammed alleged that the president’s handlers were making similar mistakes committed by those who served as close advisers to ex-President Umaru Yar’Adua.

According to him, Buhari was in Germany to receive treatment for an undisclosed ailment but his handlers arranged a state visit in an attempt to mask the truth.

Mohammed said, “The reason the president travelled to Germany was not what it was advertised to be. The trip is basically a medical trip. It was undertaken for medical reasons. It was only converted to a state visit as an afterthought and that tells you the level of contempt the handlers of the president have for Nigerians. We blamed the handlers of Yar’Adua for the way they kept his ailment secret.

“Now, Nigerians have a big surprise awaiting them. They have not been told the truth about the real state of the man’s (Buhari) health. He is our president.

Nigerians elected him into office and we must never allow individuals to play with our intelligence and do something stupid and dangerous to our country. I hope and pray that next time, the Nigerian people would be told the truth. It’s a medical trip; they (handlers) issued statements to camouflage the real reason behind the trip.”
The former lawmaker stated that those behind the cover-up did not love the president more than Nigerians who voted him into office. Mohammed also accused those criticising Mrs. Buhari of hypocrisy.

#APCLies! Boko Haram Commanders Were Exchanged for Chibok Girls - CNN Reveals

CNN is reporting that a number of Boko Haram commanders were freed as part of Thursday's release of 21 Chibok schoolgirls which have been in captivity for almost 2 years. 

Conflicting information is emerging about what Boko Haram received in exchange for releasing 21 Chibok schoolgirls in Nigeria this week after holding them for two years.

 

"A number of Boko Haram commanders" were freed as part of Thursday's release of the girls, a source close to the negotiations between the Islamist militant group and the Nigerian government said on condition of anonymity.

 

This contrasts with what the Nigerian government has said, which is that the girls' release was not a prisoner exchange.

 

"This was not a swap," Nigerian Information Minister Alhaji Lai Mohammed said Thursday. "It is a release, the product of painstaking negotiations and trust on both sides."

 

A separate source, one with direct knowledge about the girls' release, told CNN Thursday that no captive Boko Haram fighters were released in exchange for the girls.

 

The 21 that Boko Haram released Thursday were among the 276 girls and women, ages 16 to 18, that militants herded from bed in the middle of the night at a boarding school in Chibok, Nigeria, in April 2014 - a kidnapping that spurred global outrage.

Osibanjo Lied Again! Blames Jonathan for Boko Haram Insurgency

The Vice President of Nigeria - Professor Yemi Osinbajo has linked the strength of Boko Haram to the previous administration of Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. 

The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has blamed failure of the immediate past government to provide equipment and supplies to the military for the spread of Boko Haram insurgency in the North-East

 

It would be recalled that Boko Haram gathered momentum under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan under which about 217 Chibok girls were kidnapped by the sect.
 

Osinbajo made the statement on Thursday at the graduation of Cadets of 63rd Regular Course of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) in Kaduna.

Mr. Osinbajo, who was the special guest at the graduation, said that the failure resulted to the death of over 20, 000 people with over two million displaced and more than 75, 000 children orphaned.

He expressed regret that several billions of dollars meant for procurement of arms and ammunition to prosecute the war were cornered by few persons.

“This has left the region with one of the worst humanitarian crisis,” he added.

The VP commended the military for defeating the terrorists and for the sacrifices it made to defend the nation. He said that the fastest way for Nigeria to get out of the current recession was for militant groups in the Niger Delta to stop bombing oil pipelines.

He said that the activities of the militants had adversely affected crude oil output which had dropped from 2.2 million barrels per day to below 1 million barrels per day.

Mr. Osinbajo said the destruction had also affected the revenue accruing to the country by 60 per cent. While comparing the 2008/2009 recession in United States with Nigeria’s, the VP said Nigeria’s recession was caused by massive corruption, lack of saving and destruction of oil pipelines.

Corruption Within: APC Bans Jibrin from Making Public Statement on Alleged Budget Padding

The APC has issued a statement ordering Abdulmumin Jibrin not to speak of the allegations against Speaker Dogara anymore to the public as the party tries to gag him from revealing more details. 

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in a bid to avert imminent danger over the recent crisis in the House of Representatives, has asked Abdulmumin Jibrin, a member of the federal house of representatives, to stop leveling allegations against Speaker, Yakubu Dogara in public and not to make any further statement on the matter. 

 

The party said this through Lawal Shuaibu, its deputy national chairman, north, in a letter to Jibrin on Thursday.

 

The letter read:

 

“As you are aware, the party, and indeed the government, has not been happy over the recent development in the house of representatives over the issue of the 2016 budget. We found it embarrassing to have to deal with another new phenomenon you tagged ‘budget padding,’” it said.

 

“Arising from the series of meetings we held with you over the subject matter, the national working committee had decided to request you to henceforth avoid issuing any public statement on this matter. This includes statements through social media or other means of transmitting an opinion on the matter to the public, as the party is now looking into it towards finding possible solution.”

 

 

However, the APC has been lambasted and criticized for trying to muzzle Jibrin from revealing details that could implicate Dogara who has been accused of bribery, corruption and budget padding. 

 

Nigerians are still watching how the whole drama will play out as many believe Jibrin who is known for his integrity will surely continue his fight which many believe is justified and on the side of the masses.

 

Since July 21 when he made his first allegation of budget-padding against Yakubu Dogara and three other leaders of the house, Jibrin has publicly made a series of allegations against the quartet.

Lai Muhammed Lied Again: Boko Haram, the Cause of Tomato Scarcity

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed says degraded insurgent group, Boko Haram, are responsible for the ongoing scarcity of tomato in the country.

Speaking on Channels Television, the Minister said farmers have been forced to quit the North East due to the level of insecurity in the region.

According to Mohammed,“People talk about the price of tomato but they forget one thing; they forget that the price of tomato today is a direct result of the fact that we have lost two years harvest to Boko Haram insurgency.

“Most of the people you see riding Okada (motorcycles) in Lagos are people who would have been in the farm to produce consumable items.”

Attributing the scarcity of tomatoes to insurgency, the Minister said, “Do you farm where there is war? We have lost two seasons of harvest in addition we have had very poor rainfall last year and this year. These are the combined responsible for the scarcity of tomato. Go and ask economists and agriculturists, they will tell you.”
