Buhari had his chance but failed, says Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday said the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) had his chance as military head of state but failed to transform the country.
Jonathan therefore asked Nigerians not to allow Buhari to come back to power by stopping him from winning the February 14 presidential election.
The President, who spoke in Osogbo, capital of Osun State, at the presidential campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party said that Buhari would unleash more hardship and unnecessary punishment on Nigerians if he won the poll.
He said Buhari had the opportunity to ensure an effective mass transit system in the country but he did not do anything about it.
He said, “We have done reasonably well despite the challenges before us. All of you saw the train that just passed through this place now. We promised to resuscitate railway and we did it. All of you saw the train; we can even end the campaign with that.
“Those who have the opportunity to do it but did not do anything about it and they want to come back now. Don’t allow them. Mass transit cannot work by using small buses, you need train which will be cheaper.”

Jonathan failed, not his generation – Fashola

The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Tuesday said President Goodluck Jonathan’s comment that his generation had failed Nigerians was personal to him.
He told the President to accept responsibility for his failure to address the challenges confronting the nation.
Fashola spoke at a town hall meeting organised by the State Ministry of Transportation which had transport unions, including the National Union of Road Transport Workers’ in attendance.
The governor said the president should summon courage and own up to his government’s failures in the last six years rather than point accusing fingers to past leaders.
He said, “He (Jonathan) said his generation has failed; he should account for himself. I refuse to be part of the generation the President is referring to.
“He is in his 50s, I am also in my 50s. But I don’t want to join that generation because my own generation has not failed; I have done well on my job and I am proud to say so. If he has failed, let him account for himself, he should not include us.”

Teenage girl flees home with boyfriend

The police in Lagos are on the trail of a teenage girl, Taiwo Olakunle, who allegedly ran away from home and is believed to be with a suspected lover.
Olakunle’s case is the second of such in six weeks
Ashiwaju.org Metro had reported on December 4 that one 13-year-old Ezennia Chikwuo also left her house on Ishola Bello Close in the Alausa area with a man, believably her lover, and had since not returned.
Our correspondent gathered that 18-year-old Olakunle, who was staying with her aunt’s family, the Lawals, on Adeosun Street, Balogun in the Iju area of Lagos, had only been brought from Ondo State in July 2014.
It was learnt that the teenager was enrolled in November 2014 as an apprentice in a hair dressing salon. However, on November 11 while at the salon, she was reportedly beaten up by a gang of street boys who claimed she intruded into their discussion.
The matter was reported to the Iju Police Division, and the police arrested Olakunle’s suspected assaulters.

Tanzania acts to protect albinos

Tanzania has banned soothsayers in order to protect albinos, dozens of whom have been killed in recent years for their body parts which are used in power and wealth rituals, the newspaper Daily News and other media reported Wednesday.
Home Affairs Minister Mathias Chikawe announced the creation of a task force on Tuesday comprising representatives of the government and the Tanzania Albino Society (TAS) to investigate the killings.
About 70 albinos - people born without pigmentation - have been killed in the east African country over the past six years.
Their body parts, ranging from hearts to genitals, are regarded as powerful magical ingredients.
Only about 10 people have been convicted of murder.
The new task force will review court cases involving albino killings to make sure culprits did not get away too lightly, Chikawe said.
