HCOTN 050715

1. Corruption: Buhari may probe CBN

Hephzibah: I think this statement from a comment on the Punch article says it as I see it - "Well, if Buhari nor like Emefiele face again, he can simply Ita-Ekpenyong him away and may be Emir Munammad Sanusi II can come back and become Sanusi Lamido Sanusi one more time! Them still dey sell bow tiejust in case!"

 

2. Buhari fires CSO over supremacy battle with ADC

Hephzibah: Another comment captures my thoughts succinctly - "I just wish say my dear president go soon do one serious, correct, beta achievement wey go wow all Nigerians and get them give him a rousing ovation rather than all these hire and fire things that doesnt directly touch the lives of Nigerians other than generate more tribal isshes." Well said. If Baba wanted to do it well, he should have fired both the ADC and the CSO...Shi ke nan!

 

3. PDP chiefs clash over new INEC boss

Hephzibah: So, who should we believe and why? Chief Olisa Metuh, where is the minutes of meeting Mr Ibrahim Jalo is asking for? Mr Ibrahim Jalo, I hope there is no hanky panky from your end o? Chief Olisa Metuh raised some valid points, even if he is not truly speaking on behalf of the party. I genuinely hope Mrs Zakari is independent enough to head INEC...What are they doing to close the gaps identified during the March/April elections ahead of the governorship elections in Bayelsa and Kogi states?

 

4. APC crisis: Warring groups may call Buharis bluff

Hephzibah: After wasting about 5 minutes reading an annoyingly lengthy article, I arrived at the same conclusion as this Punch commenter - "Heeeeeeey eh! These people are busy fighting over positions and the masses are suffering at the fuel stations, naira is now 230 to a dollar!!!. From the look of things, nothing has really CHANGED!!!"

 

5. NFF fires Keshi, Amodu takes over

Hephzibah: So, is that #Change, #Recycling or #SameOfTheSame? No time/interest to read the article...:D

 

6. Buhari to reopen cases of political killings, others

Hephzibah: Okay oo, Baba; we don hear...Again another Punch comment to the rescue - "Buhari wants to do this, Buhari will do that; yet nothing seems to be happening. Given the calibre of people he is appointing into his government; his chances of accomplishing nothing is really high. Some of the appointees have not been known to be innovative or to have given good accounts of themselves in their previous appointments."

 

We pray that the Lord will intervene and use them for good, inspite of their track records.

 

7. Why I revoked contracts awarded by my predecessor Badaru

Hephzibah: Hmmm...I'm interested in how the 1 billion Naira will be recovered. I hope the new contractor is truly more competent and trusted sha...Anyway, time will tell.

 

8. Policeman brutalises Lagos driver

Hephzibah: The policeman's name is [Read the article in The Punch newspaper to find out]. Police, why na? Why can't you embrace #Change? Isn't the police our friend again? Breaking someone's head because he dented your car then asking for forgiveness...Why?

 

9. Military take over security in Anambra prison

Hephzibah: It's about time. And please, no "accidental" jailbreaks. Some are already claiming that this is a tactical way to import BH terrorists to Southern Nigeria. Please, prove them wrong. Thanks.

 

10. Were closing in on Boko Haram FG/FG open to negotiations with Boko Haram

Hephzibah: Please can someone explain to me why the FG is negotiating with Boko Haram if they are closing in on them. I pray that God will help Nigeria win this war against terrorism. Let me end it here before I start ranting again...God will help us.

 

11. Nigerians buy fuel for N120 per litre

Hephzibah: That's 33 Naira (37.93%) above the pump price. Baba, what's the FG going to do about it?

 

12. Herdsmen kill two students in Jos school

Hephzibah: This Punch sef...Headline says two students killed, article says one student killed, another injured and farmer killed. Please, hire me as your editor and let the current editor be my deputy joor, lol.

Anyway, this is a comment I wish I could like a million times - "The excuse given by the security spokesperson for not providing security to the people is reckless, irresponsible and unacceptable. Would they have accepted it if they people had opted to cede?"

 

13. Kano Christians not barred from churches

Hephzibah: But they are not permitted to buy food from food sellers during Ramadan, right? Seriously, we need to talk about the adoption of Sharia law by some Northern states...The application is inconsistent with many sections of the Nigerian Constitution...

 

Meanwhile, this "Breaking News" is annoying me...Why is it "breaking news" that Chile beat Argentina to win Copa America? By my definition, breaking news is when I hear that a basket of tomatoes now sells at 20 Naira, lol.

 

Enjoy your day.
