Jonathan Failed To Save For Rainy Day - Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday expressed displeasure that former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration failed to save for the rainy day.

The President, who was represented by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, spoke yesterday at the opening of the 12th All Nigeria Editors’ Conference (ANEC) 2016 in Port Harcourt.

The conference, with the theme: Economic Diversification: Agriculture as Option for a Prosperous Nigeria, was attended by eminent personalities from across the country and beyond. President Buhari said:

 “Nigeria has nothing to rely on to cushion the effects of the lost earnings.

Are Christians Second Class Citizens in Nigeria? - By Femi Fani-Kayode

I am glad that Father Mbaka of the Catholic Church has finally seen the light and that he has denounced the Buhari regime. This coming from a man that once supported the President vigorously, even when members of his own flock and faith were being slaughtered, marginalised and humiliated, is cheery news.

Yet there are still many more Church leaders that supported the Buhari government, that sold their souls to the devil and that need to follow Mbaka's example and recant.

The great philosopher, writer and intellectual Mr. Dante Alighieri once said that "the hottest place in hell is reserved for those who maintain their neutrality at a time of moral crisis".

To add to this it was our very own Professor Wole Soyinka, the distinguished Nobel Laureate, that said "the man died in him who remained silent in the face of tyrrany".
