Maheeda joins the gay debate

Nigeria's queen of nudity Caroline Sam, who goes by the name Maheeda, has finally lent her voice to the anti-gay law that was signed by President Goodluck Jonathan.

Though the law has drawn the flaks of many, both locally and internationally, the Queen of the Nude Colony had refused to say a thing but in a recent interview, she decided to say what she feels about the law.
But amazingly, she did not condemn the government and actually sounded very reasonable with the leadership of the country signing the bill into law.
This is what Maheeda said:
"This is my country and they have been taking care of us for long.  So, if they decide that law would be good for us, then, I’m okay with it, after all, I am not gay.
"I just pity those who are gay or lesbians, because I respect everybody's decisions.  But if the government says they don't want it like that, then we have to respect it."

Jonathan hasn’t approved sale of refineries, says Abati

The Presidency on Thursday said the Federal Government had no plan to sell any of the nation’s refineries contrary to the news making the rounds about the imminent sale of the facilities.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, said this in an interview with State House correspondents on Thursday.

It will be recalled that the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria and the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers had threatened to embark on an industrial action this month if the Federal Government refused to drop the idea of selling the refineries.

In declaring the date for the commencement of the strike, National President, PENGASSAN, Mr. Babatunde Ogun, had said, “Our message is very clear; if between now and December 24, 2013, the government fails to cancel the planned privatisation of the refineries, we will wait for the Yuletide period to come and then mobilise between that time and the first week in January 2014; the entire oil and gas workers in Nigeria will go on a total strike and shut down the economy.”

But Abati on Thursday said there was no endorsement from President Goodluck Jonathan for the planned sale of the refineries.

He added that the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, could not singlehandedly sell any government property without the President’s approval.

“The Federal Government will not sell the refineries. There is no authorisation for anybody to do so; there is no presidential endorsement. Even the minister does not have the powers to sell government’s property,” Abati declared.

The Head, Public Communication, Bureau of Public Enterprises, Mr. Chigbo Anichebe, had said through a statement in Abuja on December 20, 2013 that Jonathan had approved the constitution of a steering committee for the sale of the nation’s four refineries.

Anichebe had said the President also approved the commencement of the privatisation of the refineries.

The four refineries are the Port Harcourt Refining Company Limited I; Port Harcourt Refining Company Limited II; Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company Limited; and the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company Limited.

Anichebe had said, “In furtherance of the economic reform programme of his administration, President Jonathan has approved the commencement of the privatisation of the nation’s four refineries by the BPE.

“This is in keeping with the transformation agenda, which seeks to catalyse and provide an enabling environment for the private sector to be the driver of economic growth in the country.

“The President has also approved the constitution of a steering committee on the privatisation process that involves all relevant stakeholder ministries and agencies.”

The members of the steering committee, which is chaired by the Minister of Petroleum Resources, are the ministers of Finance, Power, Labour and Productivity, National Planning, Mines and Steel Development and Justice.

Other members are the Chairman, Extractive Sub-committee, National Council on Privatisation; Special Adviser to the Vice-President on Economy; Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation; Director-General, BPE; Group Executive Director (Refineries), NNPC; Managing Directors of the refineries and the Director (Oil and Gas), BPE, who will serve as the secretary.

Obasanjo to Jonathan: It Will Be "Fatally Morally Flawed" To Contest in 2015!

An apparently angry and frustrated ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo has written what clearly competes as one of the most acerbic letters in modern history to President Goodluck Jonathan, accusing him of ineptitude and of taking actions calculated at destroying Nigeria.

“Nigeria is bleeding and the hemorrhage must be stopped,” Mr. Obasanjo said in the 18-page letter dated December 2, 2013.
He said Mr. Jonathan has failed to deliver on his promises to the Nigerian people, stem corruption, promote national unity and strengthen national security.
He said in the letter titled “Before it is too late” that rather than take steps to advance Nigeria’s interest and up the standards of living of Nigerians, Mr. Jonathan had betrayed God and the Nigerian people that brought him to power, and has been pursuing selfish personal and political interests based on advice he receives from “self-centred aides”.
