government of South Africa has responded to the decision of the
Nigerian government to recall its top envoys from the country.
Nigeria – yesterday – recalled both its acting high commissioner and
its consular general from South Africa but the decision has not been
received very well by the South Africans who responded with a sarcastic
statement issued by the Department of International Relations and
Cooperation.
It recalled how it has handled incidents concerning Nigeria when it
should have felt aggrieved and said it would ignore the outgoing
government of Pres. Jonathan and just communicate with the incoming
administration when it is sworn in next month.

Buruji Kashamu: Buhari’s first litmus test
By Adekoya Boladale
From the breezing climate of the East to the ancient brown roofs of
Ibadan, the rocky lands of Abeokuta up to the desert plains of the
Nigerian savanah, the message of change rumbled through households,
ransacked villages and huts. Some say it is a message of hope, some
believe it is an oath for development while to others it is simply the
struggle for a new beginning.
No matter how you caption it, the General Buhari’s twelve years
aspiration to retake the presidential seat was one laid down on various
promises against a perceived failed government. But amidst the promises
of free lunch in schools, drastic reduction in prices of petroleum
products, constant electricity, stipends to unemployed youths among
numerous others, one which the whole world and indeed truly progressive
Nigerians will focus on more is his overemphasized war on corruption.
Pres. Jonathan and Pres-elect Buhari Meet

How the APC wants to get the transition right by Garba Shehu
For more than a week since the out-going Jonathan administration
named its own Transition Committee, curiosity has acquired a new meaning
all over Nigeria. There is not a day that passes without speculative
reporting, 100 percent of it based on falsehood on what the in-coming
government’s team will look like, who is heading its committees, and so
forth.

“President Goodluck Jonathan is naive. With him, we have no future as a people'' - Gov. Kwankwaso
Everyone now has a theory on why Pres. Goodluck Jonathan lost. Niger governor Babangida Aliyu says it is because he failed to keep to the terms of the single term pact he signed. Ahmed Gulak, the president’s former aide, says it’s because of moles like PDP chairman, Adamu Muazu. A PDP senatorial candidate from Osun said it’s because the president
acted like president of the Ijaws and not of the whole country. Now Gov. Kwankwaso of Kano who is now a senator-elect, has added his voice.
A government of the people - Tolu Ogunlesi
Last Monday, I was briefly “detained” by a group of Air Force
officers manning a checkpoint at the International Airport in Lagos. I
was in a “Lagos Metro” taxi, approaching the ramp that leads to the
airport’s departure level, when we encountered the checkpoint. The men
ordered the car to park and then proceeded to announce, in that uncouth
fashion we have come to associate with men in uniform in these parts,
that taxis were prohibited from going beyond that point. I would have to
alight and walk the rest of the way.

“Once you start thinking about financial security, you’re beginning
to run the risk of eroding your true self… Once you start thinking about
money… I’m not sure you’re going to be able to take the risks you need
to take. You want to stay clear of that; let that part, hopefully, take
care of itself.”
