Obasanjo Is Nigeria's Worst Leader - Kalu


The immediate past governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Kalu, has said that former President Olusegun Obasanjo is the worst leader Nigeria has had since its independence in 1960.
 
Kalu spoke at an annual lecture organised by the Department of Economics, University of Nigeria, Nsukka on Tuesday.
 
PUNCH reports Dr. Orji Kalu saying “Obasanjo is the worst President Nigeria has ever produced since our independence. Instead of generating employment opportunities, he was busy closing down peoples businesses.
 
“He closed down Hallmark Bank and Slok Air that would have provided so many employment opportunities for our youth.”
 
The former Abia State governor said the closure of Hallmark Bank where he (Kalu) had significant stake and Slok Air, were efforts deployed by Obasanjo to deal with him.
 
He said that the former President’s action on Hallmark Bank and Slok Air slowed down the employment opportunities he (Kalu) would have created for Nigerians.
 
Kalu, however, enjoined the federal and state governments to initiate entrepreneurship programmes that would help achieve economic development.
 
The former governor said that to achieve meaningful development, governments at all levels must empower the youths.
 
He observed that economic development was a major criterion for national development.
 
“If there is no economic stability in the world, there will be no political stability,” Kalu said.
 
The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Barth Okolo, said that the inaugural lecture was for soul-searching, as its theme touched on the well-being of every one present at the occasion.

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 no longer have to pay hundreds of dollars to have larger penises”  says Dr. Fi
