Pre-Election ANALYSIS: How Jonathan, Buhari, Stand In Nigeria's 36 States

 Apparently six days to the election D-day, PUNCH newspaper has drawn up a comparison between the strengths and weaknesses of the more formidable presidential candidates, President Goodluck Jonathan and Gen. Muhammadu Buhari in all states in Nigeria.

PUNCH predicts a Jonathan win in Abia state due to the strong influence of his party there. With people like Governor Theodore Orji, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former senate President Adulphus Wabara amongst others, it is expected to be a cakewalk for the president.

His marital tie - Dame Patience's mother hails from Abia state - helps matters further.

In Abuja - the iron throne of Nigeria's Westeros - it is expected that President Jonathan should, by default, hold sway here, but the PUNCH analysis says that the city of civil servants may currently be equally divided between Jonathan and Buhari.

Although there is PDP influence here, there is also formidable APC influence as well. While President Jonathan has lived here for the past six years, one cannot dismiss the fact that Abuja is primarily Northern territory and thus Buhari-inclined.

Consumers squeezed as private health funds cut 'lifestyle' benefits while raising premiums

Two of Australia's biggest health insurers are cutting the amount they will refund patients for alternative therapies and gym memberships at the same time they are raising the cost of insurance.
For years, insurers have been locked in a price and service war to woo customers by offering to pay a share of the costs of many "extras", including more unconventional treatments such as reiki and Alexander technique.
But now NIB has cut the amount it will pay by $250 - from $400 to $150 - for "healthier lifestyle" benefits under its wellbeing extras cover.

Monica Lewinsky Is Back, but This Time It’s on Her Terms

Monica Lewinsky was sitting in a Manhattan auditorium last month, watching teenage girls perform a play called “Slut.” Ms. Lewinsky was in blue jeans and a blazer, her hair pulled out of her face with a small clip. She was wiping away tears.

In the scene, a young woman was seated in an interrogation room. She had been asked to describe, repeatedly, what had happened on the night in question — when, she said, on their way to a party, a group of guy friends had pinned her down in a taxi and sexually assaulted her. She had reported them. Now everyone at school knew, everyone had chosen a side.

“My life has just completely fallen apart,” the girl said, her voice shaking. Her parents were in the next room. “Now I’m that girl.”

The play concluded, and Ms. Lewinsky fumbled through her purse for a tissue. A woman came and whisked her to the stage.

“Hi, I’m Monica Lewinsky,” she said, visibly nervous. “Some of you younger people might only know me from some rap lyrics.”

Self-Determination Leads to Success by Russell - Horsham

Determination is the leading factor in success. Without it we may never reach our goals. I believe that if you want to succeed at achieving your goals you must have self-determination. Without it, when you reach an obstacle or something holds you back, you may quit and never get past that barrier. Other people have the power to help motivate you to try harder, but in the end you need to be the one to have the determination, drive and dedication to keep going and to continue fighting for your goals.

Good to Great....................by Jim Collins

Start with 1,435 good companies. Examine their performance over 40 years. Find the 11 companies that became great. Now here's how you can do it too. Lessons on eggs, flywheels, hedgehogs, buses, and other essentials of business that can help you transform your company. I want to give you a lobotomy about change. I want you to forget everything you’ve ever learned about what it takes to create great results. I want you to realize that nearly all operating prescriptions for creating large-scale corporate change are nothing but myths.
The Myth of the Change Program: This approach comes with the launch event, the tag line, and the cascading activities.
The Myth of the Burning Platform: This one says that change starts only when there’s a crisis that persuades “unmotivated” employees to accept the need for change.
The Myth of Stock Options: Stock options, high salaries, and bonuses are incentives that grease the wheels of change.
The Myth of Fear-Driven Change: The fear of being left behind, the fear of watching others win, the fear of presiding over monumental failure—all are drivers of change, we’re told.
The Myth of Acquisitions: You can buy your way to growth, so it figures that you can buy your way to greatness.
The Myth of Technology-Driven Change: The breakthrough that you’re looking for can be achieved by using technology to leapfrog the competition.
The Myth of Revolution: Big change has to be wrenching, extreme, painful—one big, discontinuous, shattering break.

Why I am not visible in Buhari's campaign - Atiku Abubakar

Former Vice President and Chieftain of the APC, Atiku Abubakar says he's rarely present at APC campaign rallies because the party's campaign secretariat don't consult or invite him. Atiku said this in an interview with BBC Hausa yesterday.

"I campaigned for late Shehu Yar’Adua twice successfully. We did that of Abiola, Obasanjo and for myself. I am not a light weight politician, whoever needs my presence should contact and extend invitation to me. They need to check the strategy they are adopting and I made that clear to the campaign DG, Rotimi Amaechi and I told him that if you don’t consult or invite me, you will not see me" he said

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Employees at several Austin businesses have found stickers saying "exclusively for white people" placed on their windows, sparking an investigation into their origin and condemnation from the mayor.

Mayor Steve Adler said the stickers discovered Wednesday morning were "an appalling and offensive display of ignorance in our city."
The stickers also say "Maximum of 5 colored customers / colored BOH staff accepted," apparently referring to the "back of house" operations at a restaurant. They featured a city of Austin logo and claimed to be "sponsored by the City of Austin Contemporary Partition and Restoration Program," though no such program exists. The city has said the use of its logo was unauthorized.

Alleged missing $20bn: Emir Sanusi got it wrong again, says NNPC

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has objected to recent statements credited to the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi, claiming that the issues surrounding his allegation against NNPC have not been addressed

This is contained in a statement issued by the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Department, NNPC, Mr Ohi Alegbe, on Thursday in Abuja.


CBN Gov, Sanusi and Minister of Petroleum Resources, Alison-Madueke

The statement said the Emir, a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), had reiterated that his allegation of unremitted 20 billion dollars oil revenue against NNPC was not properly addressed.

It expressed concern that the respected traditional ruler, against the findings of the Senate Committee on Finance and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), still held on to his claim over the issue.

Almajiri schools: How Jonathan gave homeless street beggars decent education & shelter

The Almajiri Integrated Model School (AIMS) was commissioned by President Goodluck Jonathan in 2012 to remove the massive number of school-age children roaming the streets, off them. The objective was to bridge the gap between Islamic and Western education in the region, according to Sheik ShehuUbaidullah, the Principal of one of the schools in Sokoto that this reporter visited.

Ubaidullah who had previously been the principal of a traditional Almajiri school for seven years, explains to me that he embraced the integration of conventional Western school system and Islamic education as a means to re-educate children in the region and convince families in rural areas send their children to school.

At the Almajiri Model Boarding School in Gagi, Sokoto, I saw the pupils – all 260 of them - partake in an early morning and nightly Quranic recitation. In between, all other subjects taught to students in conventional schools are being taught as well. Students enjoy regular extra-curricular activities, take classes in Social Studies, utilize a science lab and are trained in vocational skills via a regular monthly workshop held by the school management. 

It seems like one administration  - the Jonathan one - has finally found a solution to the seemingly endless number of homeless children.

"I Know Where to Find Chibok Girls" - Boko Haram Escapee Narrates Ordeal In Hands of Terrorists

Nigeria - Sixty-seven year-old Maryamu Bala of Madagali, Adamawa state, who managed to escape from the Boko Haram terror camp told Daily Time in an interview that she knows where the militants are keeping dozens of abducted girls kidnapped from a secondary school in Borno last year.

Narrating her ordeal in the hands of the terrorists, she says: "my son, I saw devils, I saw cannibals and people who can do anything in the name of religion. My first three weeks in that camp also opened my eyes to the fact that the place is for training recruits as foot soldiers. We saw helicopters dropping things in cartons; heavy objects were always being unloaded using the captured victims under very hash instructions.”

OECD cuts growth forecast for Canada in 2015 and 2016

Angel Gurria is Secretary-General of the OECD, a group that downgraded its expectations for Canada's economy this year and next on Wednesday. (Hannibal/Reuters)

The OECD has reduced its 2015 and 2016 economic growth forecasts for Canada, citing the drag caused by a significant drop in prices for oil and other commodities since its previous outlook in November.
The Paris-based organization is now estimating Canada's economy will grow by to 2.2 per cent this year, 0.4 less than previously thought. Next year's forecast has been trimmed to 2.1 per cent, down 0.3.
The OECD says Canada is among the countries that has been affected by the sharp decline in oil and commodity prices while others, particularly in Europe and Asia, will benefit from sharp drop in oil prices to six-year lows.
