Why we will never know Buhari's educational status.

Nigerians will never know Buhari's true qualifications to run or even sit as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The certificate saga died out when the plaintiff filed for withdrawal, a shock to almost all Nigerians.

Thus The court has struck out the case filed in respect to Mr Presidents certificate and educational qualifications.
Adeniyi Ademola, justice of the federal high court, delivered ruling on suit challenging the veracity of the academic credentials of the president on June 30, in Abuja.

At the resumed sitting on the matter, Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe declared his intention to withdraw the suit, though he failed to adduce any reason behind the decision. This surely will raise brows, as no clear fact as to the withdrawal of such an authentic case.

Justice Adeniyi, in a bench ruling, placed reliance on Order 50(2) of the Federal High Court Civil Procedure Rules, terminated further hearing on the matter.

Thus Buhari's qualification saga dies an untimely death.

Are Norths meant to Rule all Nigerians?

Buhari may be gearing for a second civil war or he is basically not a player in the one NIGERIA pitch. He clearly is building a Nigeria that will soon be battered. With his current trend of appointments, after his tenure, there is every indication and a 100% grantee that the next President will come from another region, and he too will take up the monopolious method of appointment which will clearly spark up the North mental battle of "They are meant to rule "
Since his ascension into power,  he has clearly made Nigeria, a northern affair.

Case study 1:

Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, North;
Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, North;
Acting Inspector General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, North;
Minister of Defence, Brig Gen (retd) Mansur Dan Ali, North;
National Security Adviser, Major Gen (retd.) Babagana Munguno, North; Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr Ibrahim Magu, North;
Director-General, Department of State Services, Mr Lawal Daura, North; Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Service, Col Hameed Ali (retd.), North;
Comptroller-General, Nigerian Immigration Service, Mr Kure Abeshi, North;
Controller-General, Nigerian Prisons Service, Alhaji Ja’afaru Ahmed, North; Commandant-General, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Mr Abdullahi Muhammadu, North;
Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brig Gen Sule Kazaure, North;
Comptroller-General of the Federal Fire Service , Mr Garba Anebi, North.
Minister of Interior, Lt. Gen. Abdulrahman Damazzau (retd.), under whose ministry are Prisons Service, Immigration Service, Fire Service and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, is also from the North, then the Ministry of the Interior with its agencies is virtually controlled by the North in clear breach of the Federal Character policy enshrined in the constitution.

Case Study 2:

The three arms of government are headed by Northerners:
Executive, President Muhammadu Buhari; 
Legisture, Dr Bukola Saraki;
and
Judiciary, Justice Mahmud Mohammed.
More eye opener the two arms of the legislature are headed by Northerners: Dr Bukola Saraki, Senate President, and Mr Yakubu Dogara, Speaker, House of Representatives.

Case Study 3:

The three levels of the law courts are headed by Northerners:
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Mahmud Mohammed (North);
President of the Court of Appeal is Justice Zainab Adamu Bulkachuwa (North);
Chief Judge of the Federal High Court is Justice Ibrahim Auta (North).
In 2015, Buhari appointed Alhaji Abubakar Malami as the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, also from the North.
Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission Prof. Mahmood Yakubu is also a northerner.

You can now draw your conclusions.
Mine has been drawn that Buhari may after all be writing the live version of "there was a country "

The Missing Chief Justice.

No Chief Judge to inaugurate Uche Ugah. The absence of
Justice Theresa Uzoukwu, whose wayabout is unknown, has placed Abia in a position where it has two governors who may soon go into battle of supremecy, since Mr. Ikpeazu declared Friday and Monday next week as public holidays in honour of the former Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Ojo Maduekwe, a prominent Abia son, who died in Abuja on Wednesday. This means a hold on any possible swear in and a possible cause for Uche Ugah to feel unsettled, having already held a meeting with
office of the State Director of SSS Korede Kamoju.

The meeting lasted till about 8.10 p.m.

Mr. Ogah left the SSS in a long convoy but could not be reached by  journalists, who had waited throughout the period of the meeting for his comments on the unfolding political development in the state.

Pele brings kinetic football to Nigeria.

Pelé teams up with Shell to bring together Africa and Europe in a first of its kind player-powered energy game.

The kinetic football pitch at the Federal College of Education (Technical) Akoka, Lagos installed by shell was in the spotlight again yesterday with the Pelé’s Energy Challenge.
As stated the event helped launched ‘Make the Future London’,
Pelé’s Energy Challenge showcased the power of innovative kinetic tile technology that converts footsteps into renewable electricity.

The challenge features two teams that comprised children from London and Lagos linked up via satellite. The more energy a player generated on the tiles the more time they had to compete, directly linking the technology to the task. Shell previously installed kinetic football pitches in Rio and Lagos, providing a safe environment for the communities to play, with floodlights powered by the players and solar panels.

The tile technology used to build the  pitches and power Pelé’s Energy Challenge is the brainchild of a British entrepreneur and founder of Pavegen, Laurence Kemball-Cook, who has been supported through Shell LiveWIRE programme.

In 2014, Shell and Pelé joined forces to launch the first of its kind player powered community football pitch in Rio de Janeiro.

While the Lagos pitch was opened in 2015 with the support of solar entrepreneur and global music superstar Akon; showing the local communities what can be achieved when bright energy ideas are put into action.

The LiveWIRE programme was launched in Nigeria in 2003, and has since enabled young entrepreneurs to convert ideas into real businesses that create products or services as well as employment to the community. LiveWIRE supports Nigeria’s National Youth Policy by encouraging and training young people to start their own businesses by providing start-up funds. It is recorded that the programme has trained 6,200 youths in enterprise development and management, and provided business start-up grants to 3,100

This is an added value to Africa and Nigeria youths as a whole. And something Nigeria can surely benefit from.
