On March 28, 2015, Nigerians would be heading to the polls to choose a president who would govern them for the next 4 years. Unlike other countries, Nigeria has a complex political atmosphere . While Buhari and the All Progressive Congress (APC) may appear to be gaining momentum at the moment, there are 5 likely reasons why Buhari might loose in the coming presidential election. These reasons are disused below .

1) The Independence Of INEC Has been Compromised

The independence of the an electoral body is sacrosanct in conducting credible elections in any country. In Nigeria however, the independence INEC has always been called into question. From the tenure of Abel Guobadia in (2000- 2005) to the tenure of Moris Uwu (between 2005- 2010), and even now that Atahiru Jega is at the helm of affairs, INEC is only as free as the government permits it to be. Both Abel Guobadia and Moris Iwu were criticized for overseeing elections that were not any better than that organized by the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW). The reason why these men failed in their their duty to provide free and fair elections is not far fetched. Nigerian politicians will never permit a free and fair election. And from the dramatic way in which the February 14 poll was shifted it, appears President Jonathan might not be ready to permit credible elections on March 28

2) Christian Vs Muslim Ideology

Nigeria is one of the most religiously divided countries in the world and the strong influence of religion has would come also come to bear on March 28. This may work against Buhari at the polls. The misconceptions about Buhari that he is a jihadist waiting to Islamize Nigeria may be his undoing at the polls. Nigerians are known to push religious sentiment above other important issues.

3) The Nigerian Army Is now A Political Party

Gone are the gallant days of the Nigerian Army . In recent times the Nigerian Army has become a shadow of itself. In other countries, the military separates itself from politics and never blurs that line. During the Arab spring in 2011, the military in several Arab countries who had sit –in-tight dictators lived up to the expectation, they tasked themselves with protecting lives and property and did not go further. In Nigeria, the opposite holds sway, the Nigerian Army has become a product of our decayed society. A career in the army is now about looking for juicy postings and ghana must go bags. Following the manner the Nigerian Army handled the Buhari certificate saga, it is clear whose side they are on, on the side of our Oga at the top. The one who can guarantees them juicy postings and jumbo retirement benefits, President Jonathan. With a partial military, Buhari would likely loose on March 28.

4) PDP Is Poised To Win By All Means

If the recent audio tape by Sahara reporters which purports to record how the Ekiti elections were rigged in 2014 is anything to go by, then Buhari has lost even before the March 28 election begins. The People’s Democratic Party has been in power for 16 years with little to show for it. The PDP is well known for surrounding it self with individuals who lack credibility, from Alamieyeseigha who jumped bail in England by dressing as a woman to James Ibori and other politicians who are see credibility as a virtue too expensive to afford. If PDP can decorate itself with politicians like these, then Buhari can kiss Free and fair elections goodbye.

5) Tribalism

Tribalism just like religion is another huddle that Gen Buhari might be unable to cross. The contest between President Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party and Gen Buhari of the All Progressive Party has been portrayed through the eyes of many as a contest between a Southerner and a Northerner. Politicians have also taken advantage of this loophole to champion the crusade that Buhari is from the northern part of the country where majority of Nigeria’s past rulers hail from. They they feel that all non-northerners should unite and vote President Jonathan because as a southerner, he deserves to be in power. Sadly, this view is shared by many Nigerians and this could make Buhari loose come March 28.

If Buhari cannot scale these hurdle then he could be inline to loose the presidential election for the third consecutive time.





You can't take your Facebook friends with you to the afterlife, but at least you can now prevent your snarky comments about Drag Race serving as a poor memorial. The social network has announced that users will be able to designate a legacy contact that can maintain their accounts after they have died. According to the Wall Street Journal, a new group of options will let you pick a digital executor to run your page as a memorial, or elect to have your profile deleted once it's proven that you've passed away.

Currently, if the site learns of your death, your page is frozen, and although no adverts are run, this can sometimes have unfortunate consequences. According to the paper, US users will begin to see the options appearing from today, with other nations coming on shortly afterward. Privacy-conscious users will also be reassured to learn that your nominated Facebook friend will be able to see your photos and public posts, but not your private messages. In addition, Facebook says that if a person hasn't been nominated on the site, but was asked to do the same job in a will, then the site will respect the deceased's wishes.

The 7-months marriage of Tonbra Alamieyesiegha, one of the sons of former Bayelsa state governor has reportedly crashed.

According to report on Stella Dimorkokorkus, Tonbra and his wife, Chikodi Stell Ononiwu parted ways because she was caught cheating on him.

Tonbra and Chikodi

It was gathered from insiders that Chikodi started dating a married banker simply identified as Ernest, who also lives in Abuja.

The pair were said to have been sending each other love text messages and also meeting secretly.

Unknown to her, her illicit activities was being monitored. On that fateful day, Thursday February 6,2015, her husband Tonbra left town on a business trip. After saying their goodbyes, she immediately alerted her lover, Ernest, who later came to pick her from her house.

He then took her to the hotel where they normally meet in secret to unleash their passion. Little did they know they were being trailed.

The people who have been keeping tabs on her burst into the hotel room and there they caught Chikodi pants down with Ernest.

Convinced of his wife’s infidelity, Tonbara was said to have thrown her out of the house. She has reportedly returned to her parents’ house while her lover has disappeared into thin air.

Tonbra and Chikodi on their traditional wedding

It was gathered that there was an open air of hostility between Chikodi and her in-laws when she was still with Tonbra, therefore she can’t approach any of them to beg on her behalf.

Insiders say Tonbra, who is really emotionally battered has vowed to move on with his life.

Chikodi is the CEO of House of Diella. Her bride price was paid by Tonbra on July 19, 2014 in Nwangele LGA, Imo state.

Their white wedding held in Abuja on August 2,2014.


Lagos state PDP gubernatorial candidate Jimi Agbaje, has promised to pull down the Lekki/Epe toll gates, if elected next governor of the state. He said this at a peaceful protest, tagged March for freedom, organised by Freedom Group in Lekki

"I am here to show solidarity with you on the issue of the toll plaza for which you are marching today and assure you that when we get into office, these toll gates will come down; I will demolish all of them. The public/private partnership, PPP, arrangement behind this project is not transparent.
Look at the BRT and Lagos light rail projects, they are collapsing because the PPP arrangements they have on ground are not sustainable. The light rail which was supposed to have been ready since 2012, is grounded and this is because of vested interests of a few people. The PPP arrangements are skewed to favour only a few people, so for me, I am in solidarity with you and a vote for us is a vote for freedom, a vote to bring down the toll plazas.” Mr Agbaje said (source -Vanguard)

WhatsApp has been around for quite some time now, a period that dates back to 2009 when it was created.

This app has turned around its fortunes in a rather tough market and it now boasts a client base of more than 700 million people across the globe.

This application now has another version which is known as WhatsApp Plus. One issue with this application is that it’s not officially available on Google Play Store and you won’t find it there when you search for it. This is the major reason why this app is still young when considering the number of people using it. The only way you can get this application on your mobile phone is by visiting the official WhatsApp page or randomly searching the Google for the phrase “WhatsApp Plus” and you’ll be treated to numerous websites where you can still download the WhatsApp Plus APK file.

WhatsApp Plus has improved features

While WhatsApp comes with some amazing features for sending and receiving messages over the internet, WhatsApp Plus comes with these features but on the next level.These features have been worked on and generally improved. So, what are some of the top features of this WhatsApp Plus application that are hard to come by on the original application?

Ability to alter the app’s display

One major notable feature that is also most commendable about WhatsApp Plus is the ability to change the appearance of the display window and make it look as you choose to. With close to 1000 themes that have been designed by other users of WhatsApp Plus, you can download and apply these themes as well as customize them further to make them your own.

The good thing with these themes is that they are easy to access and download since they have been arranged in a given order.Based on their names, dates they were added to the store, version as well as number of downloads. You can get very modern themes on this app, for instance GTA 5 and also re-customize them. The wide variety of customization options available for WhatsApp Plus users is one-of-a-kind and they are only available on this application. It is for this reason that WhatsApp Plus is a very unique instant messenger.

Enhanced collection of stickers

One other feature you find on WhatsApp Plus that might seem less impressive but vital is the availability of exceptionally good emoticons. The emoticons you find on WhatsApp Plus are very similar to those on Google Hangouts. However, there is a drawback in using WhatsApp Plus emoticons as they will only show up if the recipient of your message is also using WhatsApp Plus.

Show/hide your online status

With prior versions of the app, it was very easy for your friends to know when you were online. This is because this application has a feature where it displays your online status. However, the new WhatsApp Plus version has other ideas with this feature as users can easily hide their online status such that other people won’t be able to know when they are online. In this way, your privacy is maintained as you are not compelled to reply to messages from friends who can see you are online.

The advantage of this ability to hide or show your online status is that if you choose to show your online status, you’ll also be able to see other people’s online status. However, the downside of choosing to hide your online status is that you also don’t see the online status of your friends and as a result, you won’t be able to know whether they are online or not. Better still, you’ll have your ‘last seen’ time hidden when your online status is also hidden, which give you more privacy.

Share larger multimedia files with WhatsApp Plus

The latest version of WhatsApp Plus lets users share files up to 50MB in quite an easy way. With the older WhatsApp, files have to be compressed in order to fit the size to be sent. However, this is not the case with WhatsApp Plus as there is enough room for relatively larger files like videos.

Other features you’ll find on the latest WhatsApp Plus include additional six menus that give you more customization options on the user interface. Using these menus, you can make changes on the headers, color and size of images as well as icons in your chats, header and size of your contact’s avatars; appearance of widgets, notification pop ups as well as the color of launcher icon. There is also an additional feature that lets users disable animation options and voice notes of your app.

As noted earlier, you cannot get WhatsApp Plus on the official Google Play Store and the APK file must be downloaded from the web and installed manually. Remember to first uninstall the other WhatsApp (if installed) before installing the new WhatsApp Plus since your conversations will be migrated to the new platform.
