JONATHAN FINALLY SAID WHAT HE WILL DO IF HE LOSES

By -
Jonathan, in a live media chat apparently
organised to douse the tension generated by the
postponement of the general elections, spoke
among others, the alleged plot to sack the
Chairman of the Independent National Electoral
Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, insurgency and
corruption.
Before and after the polls were shifted from
February 14 and 28 to March 28 and April 11,
there were rumours that the President and the
Peoples Democratic Party were nursing a sinister
plot not to hand over power.
But Jonathan told a panel of interviewers that he
was not desperate to remain in power. He said
such “insinuations and wrong information” were
meant to discredit him by his political opponents.
He said, “Let me assure Nigerians that a new
government will be formed on May 29.They
should not be perturbed about rumours that we
are planning to send Jega on a terminal leave and
other rubbish that is being circulated.
“In 2011, I said I will conduct a free and fair
election and that if I lose, I will happily move on
and that it should be recorded.
“Then I just concluded the late President Umaru
Yar’Adua’s tenure. I said I will be happy to go if I
lose. I said this nation is more important than
anybody. Anyone who wants to hold the office of
President and feels he is more important than the
nation is not right.
“So if as of 2011, I made a commitment that if I
lose I will go, it should tell you more about my
stand on free and fair elections.
“But now, Nigerians have given me the
opportunity to be here for four good years and so
if the elections are conducted and I lose, of
course, we will inaugurate a new government.
“The rumour that I will not hand over or that I am
scheming to prolong my tenure are insinuations;
they are not true. Those are insinuations; it is
quite unfortunate that so much wrong information
is floating in the system.”
Jonathan faulted the claim by Jega that INEC
was ready for the elections. He said the
information given to him by security chiefs was
that poor distribution of Permanent Voter Cards
could have caused a security challenge in the
country.

How to get him to pay your bills (ladies crib)

Hello ladies  it's your turn tonight. And thanks alot feel so good to have 9000+ view. Thanks to u guys 1. Don’t  have  any bills. If you’re deep in financial debt in this economy, and you meet a man who also has financial responsibilities, the likelihood that he will want to pay your bills is very slim. Single men have bills also, even if they don’t have children. The only single men without bills are most likely living in their parent’s basement or still sleeping in the room they grew up in. That man can’t pay anyone’s bills or he’d have his own house. And let’s be honest, if you were already dating the wealthiest caliber of men to begin with, you wouldn’t be looking for a man to pay your bills in the first place. 2. Don’t  ask  a man to pay your bills. Men look at women who ask for them to pay their bills as  gold diggers . And that’s me being nice. Men actually call women who ask them to pay their bills  garden tools . Here’s the thing, if you have something you can

 A man suspected to be behind the manufacture of explosives used in a series of Boko Haram suicide attacks has been arrested in North-East Nigeria, a senior police officer told AFP on Tuesday. The man, identified only as Ba'na, was held in the Arikime area of Potiskum after several weeks of surveillance, said the officer, who was involved in the Sunday arrest.
