Memoire: Emmanuel Ifeajuna: Legend behind Nigeria's 1966 Coup and First Black African to Win a Gold Medal

 

This is in memory of the feat he achieved when he became the first black African to win a gold medal in Canada at the Commonwealth Games in 1954. 

 

The Late Emmanuel Ifeajuna, unarguably became the first single individual Nigerian-  African to write both Nigeria and Africa’s name on the world history map in sports  and became the first Nigerian and black African to win Africa’s first gold medal in all time sport event. 

 

Before he joined the Nigeria Army, Ifeajuna, then a Medical Student at the University College Ibadan, earned for himself this honour. 

Nigerian Senators and House Reps Members Want Life Pension!!!

It has been reported that the National Assembly approved on Thursday, February 19, 2015 life pension for the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. This should not be allowed because of many reasons.

First, the federal legislators are the highest paid in the world despite the fact that they are part-time legislators who go on recess for over four months in the year and do not sit on Mondays and Fridays!

If the President of the Senate, David Mark, is put on pension, he will be on a second pension after retiring from the army as a senior officer! Will he now retire twice from the same government?

The same can be said of the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Legislation is not a full life work that should warrant life pension like civil servants who serve for at least 15 years. People of goodwill should look into this before we are ripped off. The same is the issue of life pension and fantastic entitlements by the governors.

Aunt Ngozi and Uncle Chukwuma are Fighting

Uncle Chukwuma Soludo who is a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and Aunt Ngozi Okonjo Iweala have decided to lock horns over the terrible and scaring dwindling turn Nigeria's economy has taken alongside the naira.

Uncle Chukwuma had alleged that over N30trillion had been stolen from the coffers of the Nigerian Government under the watch of the Minister of Finance, Aunt Ngozi

he also said that the nation is in for a very turbulent time this year because the economy had been grossly mismanaged under our dear Aunt Ngozi and Daddy GEJ

Season of Stones and Pure Water Sachets on GEJ Part 2

Sequel to the previous attacks on the campaign convoy of Mr. President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan by angry youth both in Katsina and Bauchi (see story here) some days back, the number one man of Nigeria has been attacked again yesterday by aggrieved youths in Jalingo, Taraba State where he went to seek the votes for his re-election bid.

Information reaching AAB confirmed that the windscreens and windows of some of the vehicles on the convoy were destroyed before security operatives used tear gas and horsewhips to disperse the youths.

It was learnt that the incident occurred when the President’s convoy was going to the palace of the Emir of Muri, Abass Tafida, from the airport.

Are Buhari's Certificates Forged?

Latest gist reaching yours faithfully today is that the Director of Media and Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, on Thursday made an allegation at a press conference in Abuja that the school certificate presented by the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was forged.

He also said “We do not know who the authors and masterminds of this forgery are but whoever they are, we urge them to come forward and be identified."

“If they fail to come forward voluntarily, we hereby call on the police and other security agencies to seek them out, find them, arrest them, interrogate them and prosecute them, in accordance with the laws of the land.” he said.

Fani-Kayode also called on Buhari to submit himself to the police to answer charges of perjury, alleging that the former Head of State lied on oath about his academic qualification.

This, he said, was what a man who “claims to represent integrity and due process ought to do in this situation.”

My dear readers what do you think about this? Are these many allegations against Gen. Buhari going away anytime soon?

I Will Beat Buhari in a 400M Race! - GEJ

GEJ working out in the gym

So our dear President has decided to let Nigerians know that he is still strong, capable and fit to take on anybody at anytime. A video of him working out in the gym somehow managed to find its way on to the internet. The video showed the president exercising and also playing tennis.

This is in precedence to a statement released from the presidency through the presidential media office that "Mr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan dares General Muhammadu Buhari to join him on a 400M race and see if he (Buhari) would not collapse before the end of the race."

Eh!...I sincerely hope the retired General would not attempt to take up GEJ's challenge o. Abi what is the meaning of all these? How can the two most foremost men in the country take to the stadium together? What if they both collapse before the end of the race? They should stop playing all these dangerous gambit between themselves for the sake of a nation of over 170 Million people please.

But seriously...who do you think would win the race if the two men take to the race track? I want to know o because yours faithfully is curiously curious about the outcome of such challenge or aren't you curious to know who would win as well?

Buhari can’t remember his phone number –Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan

The President wondered how Buhari would develop the country’s economy, a feat he could not achieve while he was in office as head of state between 1983 and 1985.

“Is it now that Buhari cannot even remember his own phone number that he can change the economy of the country.” Jonathan asked?

So my people, there you have it. Are we to believe President Goodluck Jonathan and conclude that General Buhari can't remember a thing or shall we debunk this allegation?

FUNNY NIGERIA: 90-year-old asked to bring 1950 appointment letter to get pension

Pa Jacob Kehinde Babajide

Now almost 91, with all of his children married and his wife and best friend of many years ‘gone to be with the Lord’, Pa Jacob Kehinde Babajide’s life has become even quieter these days especially since August 2010 when his monthly pension was abruptly stopped.

Why because the new man in charge of his pension insisted that baba must bring his appointment letter given to him by the government in 1950, a letter that was given to him before the pension manager was even born.

We wont stop hearing funny events. anyway I feel pity for this man. please pass this on to save many more of our old papas o!
