Obasanjo To Jonathan - I Have Done My Duty To You

Jonathan, Obasanjo: no further comment

Nigeria’s former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo today declined to make fresh reaction to the open letter sent to him by President Goodluck Jonathan, which was a response to Obasanjo’s earlier letter.
Obasanjo’s spokesman, Tunde Oladunjoye, told newsmen today at the hilltop residence of the former President in Abeokuta, capital of the western Nigerian state of Ogun that Obasanjo will not further trade words with Jonathan, nor dignify his letter with a fresh response. Chief Obasanjo in envisaging Jonathan’s response had clearly stated what his position will be: he will play mute.
Oladunjoye, the former PDP deputy governorship candidate during the 2011 governorship in the State, quoted Obasanjo’s position from his 2 December letter, titled, Before It is Too Late: where Obasanjo stated: “I will maintain my serenity, because by this letter I have done my duty to you as I have always done, to your government, to the party, PDP, and to our country, Nigeria”.
“Since the publication of the letter written by the President, Commander in chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, which was in response to the letter earlier written by the revered former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, we have received several requests from local and international media, asking to know Chief Obasanjo’s reaction to Mr President’s response.
“Chief Obasanjo, GCFR, acknowledges Mr President’s letter/ response, however, Baba as he already indicated in his December, 2, 2013, does not wish to make further comments beyond the contents of his lastletter to Mr President or react to the said letter/ response from Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. Let me reiterate here, that Chief Olusegun Obasanko GCFR, has tremendous respect for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”, the statement read.
President Goodluck Jonathan in a letter dated 20 December, 2013 responded to the letter written to him by the former President, Olusegun Obasanjo accusing his government of ineptitude in addressing the state of the nation.

Over Here Guys!; Mosanto Develops Revolutionary New Penis-Enlarging Corn Crop. (Must Read)

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called  Eurycoma Longifolia  or  Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will...

Justice And The Killer Cop

  NOT surprisingly, and for good reasons too, security agencies, in particular the Nigeria Police, have been placed on the spot by local and international human rights communities for their highhandedness in dealing with suspects in custody or at points of arrest. Quite a number of extra-judicial killings and tortures in these circumstances have been highlighted by the local media too.    Against this background, the judgment of the Bayelsa State High Court, Nembe Division, sitting in Yenagoa, delivered by Justice Lucky Boufili sending killer policeman, Matthew Egheghe, to the gallows is most welcome. It is a bold statement that the law frowns at cruelty by uniformed officers of the state and that an appropriate premium is placed on life by the Nigerian state.   That judgment would not bring back the dead, but it should to some extent console their grieving families that justice was served to the guilty. It would equally serve as a deterrent to trigger-h...
