See VIDEO: Two Nigerian Police caught fighting, Over Bribe...?

It is quite disheartening that this kind of thing still happens in Nigeria. Few days back, two Nigerian Police men on duty where seen fighting on the streets of Lagos. What must have caused this fight?? a friend of Mine suggested that probably the fight might have been caused due to misunderstanding among both men as they were sharing bribe collected for the day. This is really unfortunate.

Where the two men dismissed or not, we still do not know yet.
Share your thought on what you think may have caused the fight and probably what you would do if you were Lagos state commissioner of Police.

It was a Epic sight when a white man and a black man were engulfed in heavy punches at a bus stop in London some few days back. Reports reaching us indicates that the black women was crying and seemed like she was upset about an unrelated incident ( possibly a break up with a boyfriend, or a drunken fight with one of her friends). Then two white guys saw her crying and came over to console her. The Somali guy seeing the black woman crying and two white men sitting beside her, assume the worst (probably, he assumed they beat her up). And all hell broke loose !!!!

I woke Up to Find Myself With My MD on Bed - Female Staff Cries Out, Seeks Advice

This is really a shocking news. The female staff speaks up:

I am a P.A. to the Managing Director of a big company and whenever we have the Annual General Meeting, we often book rooms into the venue of such meetings for effective co-ordination. A few weeks ago, we had last year’s AGM and a few of us got a bit drunk as the meeting went rather well.

My boss has been flirting with me for months even though I told him I wasn’t interested. You can imagine how shocked I was when I woke up the next morning to find my boss in my bed!

SEE The Men behind Jonathan's Defeat

Nigerians made history. For the first time in the nation’s democratic history, an incumbent president has been defeated. While incumbent governors have been defeated in the past, it was a feat many thought might not be possible at the centre for a long time to come. But Nigerians, by their votes, have shown the exit door to a government they deemed has not served them right.

But the trouncing of Goodluck Jonathan at the polls was not a happenstance. Perhaps, if there were those who did not see this coming, it was probably the president himself and some of his loyalists. Beyond this, however, there are some five key individuals who contributed to the electoral downfall of the president. Their actions and what they represented ensured that in less than two months from now, Jonathan will become a former president.

SEE DETAILS: Why Jonathan Lost His Big Office To Buhari

Goodluck Jonathan has earned the dubious distinction of being the first president in Nigerian history to lose an election. In many ways, Jonathan was the architect of his own downfall. He made critical mistakes that turned the public and allies against him, and led them to gravitate towards the opposition. Here’s where it all went wrong:

1. Don’t cross the boss

When Nigeria emerged from 15 years of military rule in 1999, Jonathan’s Peoples Democratic party (PDP) was formed by wealthy retired generals to inherit power from the military. One of the godfathers was General Olusegun Obasanjo, who has governed
Nigeria twice (between 1976-1979 and 1999-2007). 

Obasanjo's open Letter to Buhari

 

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has written the President elect, Gen Buhari a letter. In the letter, Chief Obasanjo charged Gen. Buhari to embark on reforming all of Nigeria's national institutions, particularly the military. The full text of the letter below...

I hasten to congratulate you on your success and victory in the Presidential Elections of March 28, 2015. Your success and victory after three previous unsuccessful attempts must be great object lessons for you and for all politicians, particularly in Nigeria. For me, the totality of 2015 elections hold many lessons for our democracy and democratisation process, which are both maturing. On this occasion, the system has been unnecessarily overheated before and particularly during the campaigns when emphasis was more on trivialities and hate, divisive, undignifying and disrespectful statements and comments rather than on pressing issues requiring attention.

A former Niger-Delta militant, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, says with the defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan, he and other militants may be forced to return to the creeks.
