Nigerian National Security Adviser Dasuki Breaks Down The 2015 Elections And Security Threats (READ)


by Sambo Sasuki
Events in our recent history have thrust us into the glare of world attention in ways that have not always reflected us in our best light. The paradox of modern Nigeria is that while we have proudly emerged as the largest economy in Africa, and a viable investment and trade destination, a raging insurgency and perhaps our early management of it as well as uncertainty in some circles over the possible outcome of the impending elections have heightened interest in Nigeria. I, therefore thank the organizers of this event for giving me an opportunity to address the issues of insurgency, corruption and the 2015 elections.

The meaning of Ejayboo back in the day !

ijebu

Did you know that centuries ago supposedly during the 18th and perhaps 19th centuries when Christianity was being introduced to Yorubaland, Kings of Ijebu people (the Awujale) executed anyone who practiced or worked as a Christian clergy ??

The rationale would be to protect indigenous Yoruba religion.

Ps: Pronounced and spelt by the colonialists as ‘Ejayboo’ but rightly spelt ‘Ijebu’ (Ijebu is a sub-ethnic of Yoruba nation)

A key day in the Ukrainian Conflict?

ukraine_war Current state of Donetsk International Airport


ukraine_war_1 Donetsk International Airport before the WAR


by Alexander Mercouris


This may turn out to be a critical day in the evolution of the Ukrainian conflict.


1. The Russian Security Council met today. We do not (obviously) have a full account but Putin’s website has provided some details.


Strikingly, Putin referred to the junta as “official Kiev” and not “the Ukrainian government” or “the Ukrainian side”. He also referred to the two east Ukrainian republics as “the Donetsk People’s Republic” and “the Lugansk People’s Republic”.


This is the closest Putin has yet come to since Poroshenko’s election in implying that the junta is not the legitimate authority in the Donbass and that the two NAF republics are.


2. Putin also pointedly referred to “criminal orders” coming from “official Kiev”.


http://eng.kremlin.ru/news/23512


3. Putin has also had a telephone conversation with Lukashenko, who is a key partner in relation to the Ukrainian conflict. Again we have scarcely any information about what was discussed but Putin will have wanted to ensure that Lukashenko remains on board. I expect a phone call to Nazarbayev shortly.


4. We now know from comments made by Shuvalov at Davos that Beijing is being consulted all the time. The key point about what happened at Davos is that Shuvalov made it absolutely clear that Russia will not submit to sanctions and Kostin of VTB gave a very clear warning against any attempts to exclude Russian banks from the SWIFT payments system. The Financial Times has a good summary of the comments Shuvalov and Kostin made and I attach it below.


5. The Russian Justice Ministry meanwhile has formally banned a number of Ukrainian organisations including Right Sector. Some of us are surprised that they had not been banned already.


http://itar-tass.com/en/russia/773105


6. Zakharchenko has said that the Minsk Memorandum no longer applies. This is not the same document as the Minsk Protocol, which was the original ceasefire agreement that was agreed on 5th September 2014. Rather, it is the technical follow-up document that purported to set out the ceasefire line and which provided for the withdrawal of heavy weapons, which was agreed on 19th September 2014. Neither the Minsk Protocol nor the Minsk Memorandum have ever been implemented. By saying the Minsk Memorandum no longer applies Zakharchenko has freed the NAF to pursue offensive operations, which is currently what it is doing.


7. Lastly, Zakharchenko has also again been saying that the DPR’s/LPR’s decision to secede from the Ukraine is final.


Now it may be that all these discussions and conversations and comments are uncoordinated and do not in total amount to anything. Perhaps there has been no change in Russian policy. However they do look like a hardening of position and perhaps give clues that the Russians have at least for the moment given up hope of the diplomatic approach. They also suggest a preparation for a battening down of the hatches in case another round of sanctions is on the way.

—————————————————————-


From the Financial Times:


One of Russia’s top bankers on Friday warned that excluding the country from the Swift banking payment system would be tantamount to “war”.


The suggestion that Russia could be shut out of Swift triggered widespread alarm in Moscow’s financial community when it was floated by western politicians last summer. Russia’s banks rely heavily on the Belgium-based payments system for both domestic and international payments. However, the move was at the time considered too punitive a sanction, being described by one adviser as “the nuclear option”.


Speaking at a panel in Davos on Friday Andrei Kostin, chief executive of VTB, Russia’s second-largest bank, said: “If there is no Swift, there is no banking . . . relationship, it means that the countries are on the verge of war, or they are definitely in a cold war.”


“The next day, the Russian and American ambassadors would have to leave the capitals,” he added.


Mr Kostin’s comments highlight how the west’s sanctions regime is creating a sense of anger and defiance among the Russian political and business elite.


“The more you press Russia, I do not think the situation will change,” he said, pointing out that the country was moving to reduce its reliance on western payment systems such as Swift.


“We have already created a domestic alternative to the Swift system . . . and we need to create alternatives internationally.”


He drew attention to efforts under way between Russia and China to create a separate platform of their own, outside western control.


Igor Shuvalov, Russia’s deputy prime minister, echoed this theme. “We are developing our eastern vector,” Mr Shuvalov declared, pointing out that although efforts to build links with China had been under way before the crisis, they had dramatically intensified since sanctions started, as Russia looked for alternatives to the west.


Mr Shuvalov said that the so-called Bric countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) were ready to help each other in a financial crisis too. “Large Chinese investors are coming to us,” he said.


The “pivot to Asia” has become a key part of Vladimir Putin’s foreign policy since the breakdown in relations with the west over Ukraine. While several flagship deals have been signed, such as the $400bn contract to supply Russian gas to China for 30 years last May, few Russian policy makers or businesspeople believe China can save the Russian economy from a painful recession.


“The present situation looks like it is softer than [the 2008-09 financial crisis] but we are going into a long crisis situation and it may be protracted,” Mr Shuvalov said.


But he added that foreign pressure would not succeed in changing the political leadership of the country.


“We will survive any hardship in the country — eat less food, use less electricity,” he said.


Alexei Kudrin, the respected former finance minister, predicted Russia could see capital outflows of $90bn this year after a record $151bn in 2014. “We should clearly understand the price we are paying for sanctions,” he said.



A key day in the Ukrainian Conflict?

Ekiti PDP Youths Revolt as Fayose, Political Hyena turns reelection bid of Jonathan to a Business venture.

fayose


…Vow To Work Against Jonathan


“It is quite unfortunate that President Jonathan surrounds himself with political vultures and scavengers who will mess up his effort.



No longer a news that, the Ekiti Serving Governor, The Political Hyena, has turned President Jonathan’s election campaign into a business venture to make Money.


It was learnt that the #100,000,000 that was given for the Jonathan’s Campaign in Ekiti-State, Fayose never spent one kobo in the N100 million. Instead of him to spend the money, he levied PDP candidates in the February general elections, including wealthy members both in the State and Outside the State for the mobilization fee.


So dismal/abysmal, Mr. Governor frustrated all Pro-Jonathan campaign groups in Ekiti for selfish and greedy reasons. One of the Pro-Jonathan Groups, PDP Youth Network has vowed to work against and ensure President Goodluck Jonathan loses woefully in the forthcoming February presidential poll in the State. Courtesy of Fayose’s greediness


The State Coordinator of the said Network, Tope Musowo, made the threat in a press statement sent to Online Media for public consumption.


Musowo, who decried the way Fayose is taking the victory of Jonathan for levity in the State, said President Jonathan has failed by surrounding himself with sycophants.


Most of this groups have been using their earned hard resources to build the structure of their respective Organizations, long before Fayose retraced himself back to Power in the State, he got there and messed up all the effort of the Groups for selfish reasons.


Before the Rookies and the Party Bigots would call for my head, it is better who cares for Jonathan’s victory in Ekiti to call Fayose to order, because he can’t achieve what he boasts of by climbing a Jeep, turning to a passerby, buying sepe or paraga at the T-juncture. He should know that his gimmicks is no longer sell-able. Let him do things accordingly rather than living a fake life before ekiti people.


I pity Mr. President for the hand of the political Hyenas and the Magpies he found himself.























A word is strictly for the wise and not for the gullible!

Search Engine Optimization: How Can You Make This Work For You?

Search Engine Optimization: How Can You Make This Work For You?


What is required from your site in order to be ranked well is something that’s changing constantly. You need to make sure that you have up-to-date tips and tactics you can refer to in order to achieve the optimum level of success. Check out this article for some great tips on SEO.


When setting up your site with SEO, be aware of how search engine spiders view your page. For example, while using images for navigation links may look attractive to human viewers, it will hurt your search engine rankings. Your rankings, and your reputation for users with accessibility issues, will be increased if you use primarily text or at least provide a text alternative for image links.


When building your site using SEO techniques, pay attention to your site’s theme. If all of the pages on your site are related to a similar theme, this boosts the rating of every page on your site. To make your site appear to be on a theme, use similar keywords and synonyms on all the pages.


Try to get your site mentioned on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google Plus and popular blogs. Social media can be a great search engine optimization tool as networks of people can make a website very popular, very quickly. Every time somebody links to your site on a social media site, the chances of your website showing up on the first page of search engine results increase.


Look through old emails and comment boards to find ideas for new posts. Turn every question you ever answered in an email into content on the site. Remember that the way to increase search engine rankings is to constantly create new articles. Your emails probably provide plenty of topics that readers want to know about.


You should avoid 404 errors at all costs. A 404 error happens when a user attempts to visit a page that no longer exists or never existed in the first place. When you update pages with new links, be sure to use a 301 redirect. The redirect will automatically take the user to the new link when they arrive at the old one.


Do not rely too heavily on software, or “bots” that link your site to search engines. Search engines change their algorithms so often that it usually proves difficult to choose the right keywords to link your site to prominent engines, even with the best software. Choose a qualified marketing service to advise you.


Getting a new website linked to by established, highly-ranked sites can significantly speed up the process of getting it indexed by search engines. This is important to search engine optimization schemes, because the initial indexing delay for new sites is extremely frustrating. The faster a site gets indexed, the sooner its webmaster can move forward with aggressive SEO strategies.


For effective search engine optimization try and use a single URL to concentrate all your stories, articles or blog posts within the same category. This is an excellent way to get your search results near the top as it will cover a broader range of topics which will get your page more views.


Limit the amount of Flash you use on your web site and use HTML for most of the content. The ratio should be about 10 percent Flash to 90 percent HTML. Sites that are very heavy on Flash do not do too well when it comes to SEO.


When writing for search engine results, you can profit from using keywords. The key is to be precise about the terms used in order to get the best possible position in terms of rankings.


Add a site map to your site. By putting a site map on your site, which a page listing that links to all the main pages on your site, it will make it easier for the search engine spiders to search through your site. It is best to require fewer clicks to get to a page on your website.


When coming up with keyword terms to search engine optimize your blog or site, shorter isn’t necessarily sweeter. Data indicates that a majority of searches are done using more than one word. Find ways to expand your keyword terms so that you’re including short, relevant phrases of two or three words.


If you choose to include embedded or linked video content on your website, you should alter the code to include descriptive keywords as part of the object title and tags. This will ensure that search engines consider the videos relevant in their overall determination of your site’s relevancy score.


Ranking is what it’s all about. If you’re not out to chase that top spot, you are going to struggle with any web-reliant business. Remember and refer to the SEO tips you’ve read in this article – they can ensure that your site ranks highly in it’s niche. It’s up to you to find the time to put the advice into action.
