BREAKING: President Asks Central Bank Governor To Resign Over Leaked $49.8bn Letter

President Goodluck Jonathan asked Central Bank governor, Lamido Sanusi, to resign over a leaked letter about missing $49.8 billion oil revenue.

On December 2, ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo mentioned the missing revenue in his controversial letter to Jonathan.
Jonathan, in turn, denied Obasanjo's accusations. He dismissed allegations of "high corruption" in government and said that Sanusi's allegations - made in a letter from 25 September - were "spurious".
According to ThisDay, the President demanded the CBN governor to resign over the phone, asking him to leave by 31 December 2013.
In a "heated exchange", Sanusi refused to leave his post before his term ends, a source confirmed to the BBC.
CBN chief told the President that others could have leaked the memo about the state oil firm's failure to account for the revenue, as it was available in the presidential villa, Ministry of Finance, and Central Bank.
Sanusi wondered how he could have leaked the letter, which was so widely available, to a former two-term president of Nigeria who has his people everywhere.
He also said that about $10bn was still unaccounted for by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

CBN chief stated he would not be forced out, except he is removed by two-thirds of the Senate and expressed surprise that those responsible were not being asked to resign instead.

This information has confirmed earlier reports that Sanusi might be forced to leave before his tenure ends.

Yoruba names for some animals & birds

This contribution answers the many questions that have always appeared as search terms on this blog for a long time. Unfortunately, I’m not equipped to answer those questions about the names of birds, animals, rodents … Such questions started appearing since the posting of What’s in a name? – A look at Yoruba’s views of some birds’ names by Deleola Daramola in June 2013. The article, a very popular one, had a mere 431 total views during the seven months of that year but would subsequently attract 1,640 views (2014); 2,868 views (2015); 2,822 views (2016) and in 2017 to date, there have been 1,872 views – a grand total of 9,633 views. There have been questions about “Yoruba name for igun”; “… hoopo bird called in Yoruba”; “… aluko and agbe birds in Yoruba culture”; “the English name of eye akalamagbo”; “What is the English of eye kowe”, and many others. At the end of the list, there are a couple of references, and more can be found through Google. PLEASE NOTE: Spellings often dif...

Jonathan Urges Nigerians Not To See Selves As “Northern” Or “Southern” Citizens

Posted by: creamco December 19, 2014 President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday urged Nigerians not to see themselves as “Northern” or “Southern” citizens, but as people and a race bound by the same history and constitution. Mr. Jonathan stated this in Abuja at the annual National Migration Dialogue organised by the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and internally Displaced Persons. The Vice-President, Namadi Sambo, who represented the President, called for an end to the classification of Nigerians as “indigenes” or “non-indigenes” of any particular state. “We must insist that in relating among ourselves as a nation, there are no Northern or Southern citizens neither are there citizens of any particular state in the East or in the West”, Mr. Sambo said on behalf of the President. “We are citizens of Nigeria, a people and a race bound by the same history and constitution”, he said. “We must continue to insist and uphold our constitution that guara...
