2015: Jonathan Steps Down For David Mark

The battle for 2015 election has taken a new dimension as President Goodluck Jonathan has decided to hand over the mantle of leadership to Senate President, David Mark.

DAILYPOST reports that his decision to back out of the race is unconnected to the on-going activities in some parts of the country.

A dependable source within the PDP caucus hinted us that Jonathan was forced to accept the decision because some persons had vowed to make his government ungovernable if he returns in 2015.

“I can assure you that the president has accepted to step down for the senate president, David Mark. He has accepted to support him during and after the election,” the source said.

On why the party settled for David Mark, the source who would not want his name mentioned said, “this decision came after several meetings and consultations with party leaders. It is obvious some people don’t want Jonathan. The ongoing activities in some parts of the country tell it all and the only option left is for him to pull out of the race.”

Asked if he would be given any federal appointment, the source said the president said he would return to his Otueke home, from where he will go back to classroom.

Debunking the news, a media aide to the President, said there was no element of truth in the rumour, affirming that it was another ‘April fool’ by DailyPost as today is April 1st. ” I don’t believe anything in this rumour. I’m sure your journalists have decided to play pranks on us. This is “April-fool”. He said.

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...
