The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has accused President Buhari of not fulfilling his ‘100 days in office’ promises which he made during his campaign.

In a letter tagged “Let the change be realistic, not a mantra” the student body expressed its disappointment.

The National Association of Nigerian Students [NANS], the apex students’ body in Nigeria, expresses disappointment and worries over the non-fulfillment of the 100-day in office promises that President Muhammadu Buhari earlier made during the 2015 Presidential Election and the denial of such vows by the media machinery of The Presidency.

RECALL ON BUHARI’S PROMISES DURING CAMPAIGN
During Mohammadu Buhari’s Presidential campaign, it should be recalled that a public letter was published by the President titled, “My Covenant”. He made no fewer than thirteen promises to Nigerian in the document which are: Reduction of fuel price to N45 per liter; Subsidize oil price at $100 a barrel; pay the poorest 25 million people N5, 000 every month; guarantee 40,000 megawatts of electricity in four years; Post NYSC Stipends; provision of Free meal ticket per day for all Nigerian school children and also provision of three million jobs in his first year in office.

To the utmost surprise of every Nigerian students, President Muhammadu Buhari, has not only failed to deliver on his numerous “100-day in Office promises”, the president and his media machinery are intentionally and falsely, in the bid to cover the ineptitude of failing the “100-day integrity test” in the court of public opinion, denying these lofty promises made during the electioneering campaign.

Also, he promised to build four refineries in one year; provide free education to all Nigerian children, conquer Boko Haram in two months, payment of allowance to Graduate job seekers, Tackling Child Labour, Graduate Employment, Nationwide Environmental Sanitation Plan, No foreign Health Care for Government officials, 20% Education Budget, Just Farm, Government Buys Policy, Educating the Girl Child, An Independent EFCC and ICPC, Establishment of Office of Public Defender, Protecting Freedom of Speech, More Government spending on Health, Improving National Security, Prompt and stress free pension payment, Addressing Ethno Religious Tolerance, A fair deal with women and Corruption Free Election.

With the aforementioned lofty promises, Nigerians taught the change they expected had come. But amazingly, after 100 days in office, Buhari whom they described as ‘Baba Go Slow’ because of his sluggishness in executing government policies has not achieved any of the promises.

NIGERIANS EXPECTATIONS
Muhammadu Buhari should learn that Nigerians mean business and ready to see developments around the nooks and crannies of the country.

Nigerians believe that terrorism will be a thing of the past, corruption will be a forgone issue. Nigerians believe that the new president should find a lasting solution to the backlog of unpaid salaries, perennial fuel scarcity, fuel subsidy regime, cost of governance, institutionalized corruption, insecurity, erratic power supply, poorly-developed education and all other human endeavors. The clock is ticking!

OUR TAKE ON RECENT APPOINTMENTS
Also, it is disheartening and perhaps, indicative of the direction the administration of President Buhari is heading with respect to the lopsided appointments made so far. He is just being driven by the passion to salvage a ‘perceived’ sinking state, irrespective of who is negatively affected.

He needs to know that we have a federation that should be run through established laws. All the federating units must be part of the government to avoid unnecessary litigation against constitutional violations. There are still many more appointments to be made and Nigerians are watching to see what will happen.

IMPLEMENTATION OF NATIONAL CONFAB REPORT
Furthermore, we urge the Federal Government under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari to implement the recommendations contained in the National Conference report because it is the only way to solve Nigeria’s myriad of political and economic problems.

Buhari must do whatever is necessary to ensure the implementation of the confab report. The implementation will further re-launch and revamp the nation. Non- implementation of the report will amount to turning deaf ear to the voice of the people. Since governance is about people, government should do what the people want.

WORDS OF ENCOURGEMENT TO NIGERIANS
We still enjoin all well-meaning Nigerians to repose their faith in solemn assurance of a new, united, peaceful and prosperous Nigeria and join hands together with the Federal Government to re-invent governance, entrench freedom and democratic ethos, create jobs, eradicate poverty, build infrastructure, sustain businesses, secure lives and properties, re-enact the essence and value of peaceful co-existence among Nigerians and restore the lost glories, hopes, faith and confidence of our people under this current administration.

A 7 year old girl has narrated how her father Chukwuemeka Odunzie, (pictured above) molested her by touching her body and putting his thing in her mouth and afterwards gave her money so she wouldn’t tell anyone.

According to Vanguard, the young girl who is a primary 3 student and resides with her parents at their Ojokoro Housing Estate, Meiran, Ijaiye, Lagos, said her dad usually touched her privates whenever her mother wasn’t around or was busy with domestic work.

“My daddy usually gives me money after touching my private part or putting his ‘thing’ in my mouth. He touches my private part when my mother is outside washing clothes or when she is not in the house.” she said

The victim’s mother, Mrs Odunzie, while narrating her experience said she began to notice something was not right with her daughter who later confessed that her father was molesting her.

“Last year, my son told me that his younger sister was fond of playing with her private parts. It sounded strange that a seven-year-old child would be doing that. I will talk to her, scold her and sometimes beat her. There was a time I told my husband. All he said was that if she was acting strangely I should take her to any of these white garment churches. I was alarmed when one day, while we were in the sitting room, she started touching and playing with herself.

Immediately, I called her inside the room and asked her what the problem was. I asked her if anyone was fiddling with her private parts. She said it was her father that always touched her private parts and that after touching her private parts, he would give her money. I confronted my husband when he returned from work but he denied vehemently.

I reported a case of defilement to Ebenezer Divisional Police and the policemen invited my husband for questioning. He was arrested later by the police, who gave me a report to take my daughter to the hospital. The doctor said there had been no penetration, but that there is an opening in her virginal and advised that the victim be tested for infection.

By the time we came back from the hospital, the IPO said it was a family issue and that we should go home and settle the case. Members of his family were shouting, saying that I had no right to report the case to the police, that it was a family issue that should be treated as one. They pressurized me till I withdrew the case, after which he promised not to defile our daughter again.

After I withdrew the case, my husband began to beat the children at the slightest provocation. And at times, he would beat them for no tangible reason.

Two weeks ago, it happened again. I asked her what she did for her father that made him give her money without giving her siblings. That was when she said that daddy gave her the money after touching her private part. Her siblings said it had been ongoing for a while and that they refused to tell me because the last time they did, their daddy kept beating them.

Her brother said whenever I was not around, or I was outside washing clothes, daddy would send him and his other siblings inside the bedroom, while he would ask the victim to kneel down in between his legs and bend her head towards his manhood.

She also confirmed that after touching her, daddy would put his penis in her mouth. There was even a time my daughter was caught in the act with a four-year-old boy, who is a neighbour’s child.”she said

The swine of a father who confessed to the crime, said he molested his own daughter once and that he wasn’t doing it for any thing fetish or occultic. He has since been handed over to the police.

The Lagos State Government today, 6th September, 2015 announced that trailers and articulated vehicles are no longer allowed to ply the city between the hours of 6 a.m. and 9 p.m.

This move is to prevent accidents following the fatal one that occurred on September 2nd.

The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transportation, Oluseyi Whenu, disclosed this at a meeting in Lagos with the leadership of the various transport unions in the State.

He explained that the restriction was to ensure strict enforcement of the Road Traffic Law, which, according to him, was often violated by the trailer drivers. He said the government would henceforth go tough on any trailer that contravenes the law.
