Pres. Jonathan demanded N2trillion election funds to be refunded?
Following the defeat suffered by President Jonathan and his party, the PDP during the March 28 and April 11 elections, the President has asked the party and government officials who handled campaign funds to refund monies not spent, or those not judiciously expended, Sunday Punch can authoritatively report.
Jonathan, credible sources said, has also set up a committee of five to get those with the funds to return them.
Sources within the party and government told our correspondents that President Jonathan was disturbed that despite giving campaign coordinators, ministers, special advisers, close aides and friends, support groups and traditional rulers over N2trn in cash, most of them could not deliver their polling booths and local governments.
The President was said to have been further irked by the results of an investigation he ordered. The probe showed that some coordinators used campaign funds to buy very expensive properties, especially in Abuja, and luxury cars. Some of the funds have also been traced to the bank accounts of senior party and government officials who were charged with the disbursement of funds to voters and groups.
A reliable source within the Presidency said,
“Some ministers did not get less than N20bn each. None of them can deny it because this fact isn’t hidden within government circles. The only problem with such monies is that there is no receipt to show that they collected money. The sad part is that almost all of them performed woefully. Even in the states where the PDP won, some ministers could not deliver 100,000 votes. They could not mobilise their people to come out. The President is not happy. They all went property and car shopping. This was the most expensive election in the history of this country, yet there was no result.
“The sad part was that even after the President lost on March 28, more money was given to all of them to make up for the dismal outing by winning their states during the April 11 elections. But that turned out to be a bad decision because apart from losing the governorship election, we didn’t perform well at the National Assembly and House of Representatives polls.
“They must give an account of the money since they didn’t use it for the election. The President is not particular about the funds spent on genuine campaign needs like the hiring of jets, advertisements and the rest that also cost billions of naira. His focus is on the individuals that collected billions to deliver their states but couldn’t even win their polling booths.”

Difference between Assets and Liabilities
Examples
of tangible assets, that is assets we can see and touch, are cash, goods or
inventory, land, buildings and equipment. Examples of intangible assets, that
is, assets which we cannot see or touch, are trademarks, copyright, patents,
goodwill and stock.
To
put it simply, an asset is something that you OWN while a liability is
something that you OWE.
A
financially successful person or company has more assets than liabilities. This
means that they have the means to fulfill or settle their obligations. On the
other hand, a person or company whose liabilities are more than their assets is
probably in trouble.
In
managing your finances therefore, you must ensure that your liabilities do not
exceed your assets.

How I plan to rule Nigeria, Buhari explains to the youths...
Nigerians more than before have come to realise there challenges with the present leadership of the country from economic to border relations, health and safety, security, food and control, education to mention a few. Before May 28th the political campaign rallies for two heavy weight party candidates were one of Nigerians most competitive ever. From social media attacked coming from both side to traditional media discussions and as they canvass for votes. One of the most striking events however was when Gen Buhari of the APC and President Goodluck of the PDP met in Abuja with Kofi Anan amongst smiles, hugging and heavy laughter. Watching the clip of both men having a happy emotional time would keep you wondering why Nigerians are even fighting at all.
Before now, both parties have accused one another at some point, but nothing sits more than to hear from the horse’s mouth which is why www.iamchangeng.org, an NGO which believes in empowering disenfranchised Nigerians and financially supporting youth growth and development took time out to speak to the General before the general elections on youth empowerment, insurgency, security and more. Malama Hafsatu Shinkafi, Founder of I am change got a rare one on one with the General and this is what he had to say:
·
My leadership and government of
the APC will not be left to a few, it will be inclusive.
·
We will improve on agriculture
and mining as this will help combat unemployment.
·
We will develop a system of
education that employs only qualified teachers.
·
We will improve and increase
support for entrepreneurs through foundation institutions and soft loans so
they too can employ others.
·
In the area of health, child
labour we will introduce think tanks at all levels to swiftly address the
challenging issues.
·
As for security in the Nation,
all security forces will be strengthened and quickly imorived.
Malama Hafsatu Shinkafi is a young Nigerian
who is eager about driving change from where Nigeria is to where it ought to
be. www.iamchangeng.org advocates the message of constant self-reflection; the
act of looking within to change the vice in one’s character and to further
acquire great virtues that will aid in having a better society.

What is wrong with a circular artist performing inside a church?
Now a US based Pastor named Olusola Fabunmi is condemning this, saying the church was wrong to invite Korede, who is not a gospel singer, to perform on their alter. Pastor Olusola feels certain questions have to be asked before anyone is allowed to sing in God's house, e.g is he born-again? Is he sanctified with the spirit of God and baptized in the holy spirit? etc. See what he wrote after the cut and tell us if you agree with him...
