Extracts From Pres. Jonathan's Media Chat Held In Abuja.

Here’s all he said

The Meaning of Ìsèse !



The ocean was full beyond the eyes,

The lagoon overflowed,
Those who swim in shallow water swam in the shallows,

Those who swim in deep water swam in the deep water,
The water trapped on a rock doesn’t flow away,
The elders reviewed the matter and came to a hopeless conclusion,
Their faces was covered with thick hair,
Their thick beards covered their chests,
They performed Ifa divination for Ìsèse (The progenitors),
Ìsèse, which is the supreme sacrificial rite on earth,
Ìsèse, which is the supreme sacrificial rite in heaven,
One’s mother is Ìsèse,
One’s father is Ìsèse,
It is Ìsèse that we appeased and receive blessings.

~Holy odù Ògúndáwónrín
Ìsèse
Ìsèse is the foundation of our spirituality, it encompasses the whole journey…what as been happening before, currently happening and won’t stop occurring. Everything we built was built on the shoulders of our progenitors…doesn’t have to be biological but the occupants of heaven and earth before us. Ìsèse l’àgbà (Ìsèse is the supreme).

Adúpé!

Happy Itadogun !!

May the next 17 days of travel bring wisdom and prosperity.

Why Jonathan cannot fire Jega

 Amid speculations of plots by the Presidency to remove the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Attahiru Jega, from office, it has been established that the president has no powers to do so.
According to the 1999 Constitution (amended), the president can only remove the INEC Chairman on the strength of an advice from the Senate.  Mr. Jega, a former vice chancellor of Bayero University, Kano, who was appointed in June 2009, completes his five year tenure on June 30 this year.

Jega, it was gathered, had been described by hawks around the president of being too independent-minded and ‘uncooperative’ despite being given the job on a platter of gold by the president’s men.

After the board of state gathering which finished without individuals arriving at a concurrence on the conceivable augmentation of the race date, INEC was asked to look for exhortation and counsel with stake holders, particularly the military who will be tasked with giving security on the decision date.


The consequence of these conferences was clear in light of the fact that, the stake holders made it clear that they were not prepared for the decision yet.
