 Jonathan asks APC to account for N14tr, others
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has denounced claim by ‎the All Progressives Congress (APC) that he looted public treasury during his reign. 
The ex-president, however, asked the APC-led government to account for N14 trillion ‎which he claimed it budgeted in the last two years. 
He also asked the  ruling party to explain to Nigerians why despite its claim to have recovered almost N2 trillion from his administration as looted funds, Nigeria still wants to borrow N1.6 trillion.
He was reacting to an alleged statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Bolaji Abdullahi, in which he was quoted to have said that “Nobody could have looted like Jonathan”.
Jonathan stated, on his Facebook page yesterday, said that it was funny that no evidence of looting had been established against him, yet the APC spokesman, Abdullahi Bolaji, said he looted public treasury.
In the statement issued on his behalf by Reno Omokri, he argued that even though “evidence abounds” that ex-military head of state, General Sani Abacha looted, the APC-led government believed that he didn’t loot.
“Nigerians will not know the level of corruption in Bolaji’s APC government till another government takes over. A government that harbors a man who was indicted by a duly constituted judicial commission and even makes him a minister has no moral authority to point fingers at others.
“With the amount ‘recovered’, Nigeria should have had enough not to borrow and a little extra on top to lend to others. These lies only go to show that you can use propaganda to get to power, but you cannot use propaganda to stay in power,” Jonathan said.

Body Language :: Hand to face gestures

The Mouth Guard The mouth guard is one of the few adult gestures that is as obvious as a child's. The hand covers the mouth and the thumb is pressed against the cheek as the brain sub-consciously instructs it to try and suppress the deceitful words that are being said. Sometimes this gesture may only be several fingers over the mouth or even a closed fist, but its meaning remains the same. Many people try to disguise the mouth guard gesture by giving a fake cough.If the person who is speaking uses this gesture, it indicates that he is telling a lie. If, however, he covers his mouth while you are speaking, it indicates that he feels you are lying! Nose Touching and Eye Rub The Nose Touch - In essence, the nose touch gesture is a sophisticated, disguised version of the mouth guard gesture. It may consist of several light rubs below the nose or it may be one quick, almost imperceptible touch. Like the mouth guard gesture, it can be used both by the spe...

As the 2019 general election draws near, Christians have been urged to mobilize against candidates with pro-same-sex marriage agenda. The Young Christian Forum In Nigeria who handed down the warning today in Abuja said the strategy meeting undertaken by the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to Dubai have continued to attract much reactions from Nigerians, especially those that he is contesting against. The National President of the Forum, Reverend Hosea Adam Damut who spoke with newsmen said most of the reactions about this meeting have been misplaced. He said true to the intention masked by the said meeting, people close to the team have been reported to have said they decided on holding the meeting far away from Nigeria because they did not want the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to eavesdrop on their deliberations. “We have now found out that it is true that Atiku Abubakar’s strategy team, ably led by hi...

Arsenal 0-1 Chelsea: Why Wenger was wrong to take off Giroud By Jermaine Jenas MOTD2 pundit Arsenal played well and showed great character with 10 men against Chelsea, but taking striker Olivier Giroud off after 22 minutes was a mistake that cost them the chance to get something from the game. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger had to sacrifice an attacking player to bring on another defender when Per Mertesacker was sent off for a professional foul, but I think his choice shocked everyone. Giroud is Arsenal's top scorer with 12 goals in 24 league games this season The fans and Giroud himself made it very clear what they thought of the decision, and I agreed with them. I can honestly say I have never seen tha...
