Open Letter to General Buhari [Retd]

On 2015 Presidential Election 1. Majority of politicians who encourage you to re-contest in 2015 do not share in your vision. Most of them, especially Hausa Fulani politicians, want to ride on your popularity to victory politically. Today, even Mallam El Rufai who insulted you and described you as a ‘perpetually unelectable’ politician in 2010 is now singing your praises. So, what has changed between then and now other than El Rufai’s selfish desire to use you to achieve his political ambition? Just take a look at his campaign posters in Kaduna and judge for yourself. This was the same reason that led to massive influx of politicians, mostly Hausa Fulani politicians into CPC in 2011. They know that without you, they are politically dead, hence, they will continue to flatter you, insult your perceived political opponents and pretend to support you in order to ensure your continuous participation in partisan politics for their selfish interests.

Settled between the big harbor and the imposing landscape of the Blue Mountains, Kingston will welcome you to its limestone highlands and overwhelm you with its total size and variety of things to do. To begin with, you must be aware of its history and learn how Spain conquered this island in 1494. The Spanish treated the native Arawak people so badly that most of them died. In the 1600s, the British arrived, seized control, and turned Jamaica into a huge slave market. Slavery was abolished in 1838, but friction grew between workers and plantation owners. British troops stopped a revolt in 1865 and Jamaica was made a British colony. By the 1940s, the island had won some independence and it became fully independent in 1962. Since then, Jamaica has set up its own parliament and everyone over the age of 18 can vote. When To Go:

The importance of Wayne Rooney's 100 England caps is an indictment of his wasted talents

He may be Manchester United and Three Lions captain but he is nowhere near the player he once promised to be, write Andi Thomas and Alex Netherton Alex Livesey Wayne's world: Rooney has failed to reach the heights of his early career Wayne Rooney, contrary to what a great deal of people think, is not a stupid man. He is not the archetypal chicken-brained buffoon that snobs and the unimaginative assume him to be. Rooney, again contrary to what many people think, is not a bad man. He is not motivated solely by venality, he is not the archetypal spendthrift. He is not even an especially arrogant man, which is rare for men in general, and particularly rare for men who have to believe themselves to be the best in order to maintain a career at the top level.
