CHIBOK GIRLS MAY NEVER RETURN- OBASANJO

Some of the schoolgirls abducted by militant group Boko Haram may never return home, Nigeria's influential former president Olusegun Obasanjo said today.

Obasanjo said President Goodluck Jonathan's administration had taken too long to respond to the April mass abduction. The warning from Obasanjo, who stepped down in 2007 and nurtured Jonathan's own rise to power, will dismay parents who have now waited 60 days for any news of their daughters, taken from a school in the village of Chibok in northeast Nigeria.

+3Grim prediction: The former president of Nigeria has said he does not believe all of the school girls taken by Boko Haram, seen here in a video released by their kidnappers, will return home Once Jonathan's mentor and one of his strongest political allies, Obasanjo turned against him last December.‘I believe that some of them will never return. We will still be hearing about them many years from now,’ Obasanjo told the BBC's Hausa-language radio service on Thursday, in comments echoed in an interview with Nigeria's Premium Times website.

TRIBUTE TO YAR'ADUA- ARIBISALA DAMILOLA

Today is exactly 4 years that you left us in the hands of the Buccaneers. When you were around we thought you were the bad one, the luckless one, the slow one and the sick one. Yes, you were sick, in fact, too sickly all through your administration, but you were never as sick as these current brain sick pirates.

We all cried for your resignation at the height of your sickness, lampooning you, your first lady and your supporters (The first set of Cabals), asking you to die if you want to die and allow the man with all the luck in this world to lead us. We forgot that even though you were sick, you were the first Governor to have ever declared his assets publicly and you remained the only President in the history of Nigeria to have ever declare his assets publicly. We conveniently forgot that even though you were gravely sick you were the first president to ever reduced the price of petrol in Nigeria,(This you did twice. From #75 to #70 and later from #70 to #65 ) and the economy did not collapse like the present Brigands are making us believe.

We forgot that you didn't afflict yourself with your sickness and so could do very little about it, but we still insisted that you just have to go, just because Mr luck will have the chance to rule us. We forgot that even though you were terminally ill, you still succeeded in solving the NigerDelta crisis which you didn't cause, but which you promised to find a solution to (when the present nitwits keep blaming others for their inability to govern a country well). You gave us rule of Law, Andy Uba lost in court and was removed as Anambra State's Governor in less than 3 hours. Oni lost in Ekiti and was removed, Agagu lost in Ondo and was removed, Osunbor lost in Edo and was removed even though they are all your party people. You can compare and contrast that with Sylva's case in Bayelsa and see if we are still practising rule of law. President Umaru Musa Yaradua, we have seen what a healthy president has been doing

HERE IS ONE OF THE COMMENTS

I'm sorry but while everyone commends these... my dear it is gross! You were able to rhetorically state the obvious but dear... He's been dead for four years and our hope has been on thesame 'nitwits' ever since...
You voted him in the las election and so did I... Therefore He's 'failing' because we all ticked the wrong column during that presidential election- meaning we failed before he started failing. So deal with it!!!

DID WE REALLY FAIL BEFORE GOODLUCK FAILED?
