as a collective responsibility,” he said.

Diaspora Nigerians decry lack of ambassadors

Few months after the official screening of the Ambassadorial nominees by the senate committee on foreign affairs, Nigeria is still without any Ambassador in any foreign mission except charge de Affairs.

The Nigerians both home and in the diaspora deserve to know the reasons behind the non-confirmation of the Ambassadorial nominees by the senate till date. President Muhammadu Buhari already revealed that he decided on the career ambassadors for frugality, adding that the Nigeria economy can not conveniently maintain political appointees at the moment.

I believe the senate knows and understand the vital roles of Ambassadors in foreign mission especially during the time of recession of any country.

Apart from the Ambassador being the diplomatic representative of one country in another and the administrative responsibility, the broad set of social and political responsibilities of the Ambassadors have a long way in enhancing trade partnerships and social and cultural alliance in which, if well muzzled across the globe could definitely assist in getting our country out of recession.

We could take a lesson from the United Kingdom during 2008 financial recession. Between late 2009 and early 2010, a total number of 25 additional Business Ambassadors were added to the normal UK Ambassadors in foreign missions. Their decision to create and add to the normal Ambassadorial network was basically for them to be able to increase the overall number of international business engagements that they will undertake and to widen the specialist sector coverage they were able to offer.

During the recession the normal Ambassadors and the Business Ambassadors played critical roles in helping to restore confidence in United Kingdom’s business by getting positive trade and investment messages out to the front line and as well to potential customers and investors across the globe. This method was adopted by the UK in exporting quelling the recession.

It is a clarion call for our esteem senators and leaders to expedite action on the approval of the ambassadorial nominees and also encourage the Federal government to learn from the tested and tried methods of the UK and other countries and see if it could be another success story for us.

I can categorically inform that the Ambassadors from the Scandinavia countries to Nigeria constantly invite and lead business delegations to Nigeria trying to connect possibilities and encourage trade partnership. One of such business delegations to Nigeria from Sweden to be led by the Swedish Ambassador to Nigeria is on the way in few weeks in conjunction with the official visit of the Swedish Minister of Trade and EU Affairs.

I know the senate leadership wants Nigeria out of recession as soon as possible and it will not hesitate to expedite action on any endeavour that will contribute to existing Nigeria from the recession.

Good bless the Nigerian Senate

Good bless Nigeria.

Lawal condemns PDP over call for Buhari’s resignation
- encourage Nigerians to work for the good of all
The Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) Scandinavian chapter, Ayoola Lawal has vehemently condemned the calls from some quarters for the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari.

It will be recalled that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) recently called for the resignation of the President over the current economy situation in the Country, a move Lawal described as insensate and rakish.

According to Lawal in a statement over the weekend, the call for President Buhari’s resignation to instigate chaos by playing on emotion and suffering of the people caused by the same opposition party, is a move that is dead on arrival.

His words: “It is well known and established that the present administration is not the cause of the inevitable recession Nigeria and her people are passing through right now, even if the solution has to be from it.

“I sometimes ask myself what has happened to the values of integrity and honor that Nigerians were once known for. The very mentally sick people, who looted the collective wealth of the Nigerians and presently causing pain and suffering for million of Nigerians, while painting the convincing image and deceiving the world that Nigeria is the biggest economy in Africa and the state of our economy is very robust when Nigeria was secretly blending to meet up her financial obligations, are also the very people calling for the resignation of the Mr. President when they can no longer run away from the reality of facing the wrath of the law.

“In the light of the Economic and Financial crimes Commission (EFCC) uncovering of unfathomable stealing and senseless looting, they now want to use the masses as the proxy to achieve the aim they could not naturally achieve by playing on the emotions of suffering Nigerians to ignite chaos, but the truth is that Nigerians are wiser than yesterday.

“Truth be told, times are hard, but Nigerians should brace up for worse things to get better. So help us, God. Many other countries around the world are suffering same. Ours is only bad because past administration failed, like Mr President said, to save for the raining day.

“It is a known fact that the strength of any country is often judged by the strength of her economy and it is undeniable that over dependent on mono-economy for so long without saving and investing for rainy days always lead to pain and suffering for a nation that her leaders intentionally refused to plan ahead for the citizens and be proactive for the well being of the governed.”

The APC Scandinavia chief implore all Nigerians to be patient and continuously demand accountability from elected leaders.

“It will be amazing if the majority of Nigerians in diaspora continue to contribute their bit to the development of Nigeria especially in these trying times and refuse to slip into the half-glass-empty perspective about Nigeria and Africa.

“Let us support the present administration and always remember Mr. President Buhari and his ministers in prayer for success in the revamping of our dear Nation, Nigeria,” he summed.

Alleged Forgery: APC Scandinavia reprove Senate over AGF

The Chairman, All Progressives Congress (APC) Scandinavia, Mr Ayoola Lawal has advised the leadership of the Senate to desist from apportioning baseless faults on the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, (AGF) Abubakar Malami (SAN) over its alleged forgery case.

Lawal, who made this known in a recent press statement, noted the Minister of Justice is merely doing his executive duty by calling the attention of the judiciary to what he perceived was not in tandem with national policy of the President Buhari-led administration.

According to him, if the Senate leadership is convinced that it did not forge the Senate rule as accused, at should stop raising dust over the matter and simply defend itself before the law court.

“I tell you the truth, the attitude of the Senate to the matter raised by the AGF over forgery of Senate rule indicates that there is skeleton in the senate’s cupboard, which it cannot defend,” he said.

Referring to the AGF’s response to the senate leadership on Friday, Lawal said: “I agree that claims by the Senate that the charge of forgery against Saraki, his deputy Ike Ekweremadu and two others, amounted to an abuse of the principle of separation of powers.”

Charged with the Senate president and the deputy Senate president are former Clerk of the National Assembly Salisu Maikasuwa and Clerk of the Senate Bernard Efeturi.

“Yes, this is democracy, and as the AGF has said, the senate president and his deputy have no immunity from trial. Forgery of Senate rules cannot be described as an internal affair of the Senate, never!“ he stressed.

He then urge the AGF to continue with his rightful duty as Nigerians are fully in support of his actions, saying: “Impunity must stop at all levels and everyone accused should face the full weight of the law, if found truly guilty by the court.”
We all deserve a better life for ourselves and generation unborn. I strongly believe that with the tenacity of Mr. President to fight indiscipline and corruption irrespective of whose ox is gored and support from majority of Nigerians, Nigeria will be great again.

CCT trial : Saraki flies in experts from US, Israel, Scandinavian countries

Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki may have decided to engage the prosecution in the suit filed against him by the Federal Government over his asset declarations when he held sway as governor of Kwara State.

To this end, the Senate President, sources said, has flown in a group of experts from the United States, Israel and one of the Scandinavian countries to provide ‘specialized services’ to his team of lawyers led by Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN.

It was gathered that the experts are not lawyers, but are crack investigators, forensic and handwriting specialists whose role will be to help get more information on the witnesses and documents that have already been filed before the Tribunal by the prosecution.

The experts, are believed to have arrived on Monday and immediately had a preliminary meeting with the Senate President’s team on Monday in Lagos. They are also to move to Abuja any moment from now.

“The investigators will ferret out and scrutinize thoroughly all available information on the eight prosecution witnesses, including their school records, service records from their past and present places of employment and personal information that may help the defence team in the course of the trial. Most of those so-called witnesses will not be credible when information concerning their life is presented publicly before the Tribunal.

“It is also expected that with the fear that the prosecution may present forged documents, our team needs to be vigilant and pro-active considering the manner in which the proceedings before the tribunal is being conducted. Our people believe that with the way properties that have nothing to do with Saraki are being put on the charge sheet, there are tendencies that documents to sustain their claims may have been forged. All these the experts will screen and help the lawyers with information that may help them,” the source said.

The listed witnesses who are mostly from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are Michael Wetcas, Nura Ali Bako, Mustapha Abubakar Musa, Nwachukwu Amasu, Samuel Madojemin, Adamu Garba and Bayo Dauda ( a member of staff of Guaranty Trust Bank, GTB).

APC Scandinavia calls for peaceful election

The All Progressive Congress (APC) chapter in Scandinavia has urged Nigerians to give peace a place in all activities as the much anticipated Presidential election holds today.

According to a statement made available by Kenneth Oguzie, Secretary, APC Scandinavia, “As a major event in the history of Nigeria unfolds in less than 24 hours, it is imperative that all stakeholders reach out to various groups and call for a peaceful, free and fair election.”

It further noted that the 2015 election is a very symbolic one as it heralds a new dawn and is an opportunity for Nigerians to break free from the shackles of the ruling party, who have brought this country to ground zero and would lead us to catastrophe if allowed to rule for a single more day.

“As the Diaspora arm of a party committed to peace and dialogue, APC Scandinavia urges all supporters to conduct themselves in a peaceful and orderly manner and we condemn any sort of violence, intimidation and disorderly conduct from our members or that of the ruling party.

“We have come a long way and stakes are high in this election, as the largest economy in Africa, one of the top ten producers of oil globally and the most populous black Nation in the world, it is our responsibility to ensure we live up to the expectations of the International community.

“Dear citizens, we urge you to vote en masse for General Muhammadu Buhari and do the same for all APC candidates contesting for various arms of Government in a few weeks time.

“The time for change has come and we are privileged to be major actors and decision makers. Exercise your franchise, go out and vote and stay safe in general.

“Let us cruise to victory and let us take our country to where it ought to be,” the statement read.

APC Scandinavia tips Buhari to win

The Co-ordinator of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Scandinavia Lawal Ayoola has described the party’s presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, as the best man to make Nigeria a better place for all.

Ayoola argued in a statement made available to The Nation that Buhari is the best candidate to provide the change desired by Nigerians, because he is a man of integrity that can be trusted to deliver on his promises.

He said other Nigerians in the Nordic countries of Norway, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Iceland, like himself, left their businesses to join the bandwagon for change because of the credentials of the party standard bearer.

On the effects of the postponed elections, Ayoola noted that it sent a wrong signal to the international community. “The postponement is a very dangerous step for our democracy because it sent a wrong signal to Nigerians in Diaspora and the international community general,” he observed.

The coordinator said Nigerians in Diaspora are not comfortable with the attitude of the present administration and the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) because “they tend to do things for personal interest without considering the ripple effects in a larger perspective.”

He added: “I think they are very myopic in their thinking and this is one of the reasons why Nigerians should say no to this present administration”

According to the APC coordinator: ”The general perspective in the Scandinavia is that if anything goes wrong in Nigeria, it may affect almost the whole world. This is a general view of the superpowers since Nigeria is the most populous black nation in the world.

“When things are normal in your country, many foreign countries will be willing to trade with you, but otherwise, like it is now, expatriates will keep moving to other countries with stable economic outlook.”

In a separate statement, Balogun Kamorudeen, Interim Secretary, APC Scandinavia, Finland Chapter, noted that political interference with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is totally unacceptable.

Kamorudeen said: “It runs contrary to the principle of making INEC an independent electoral umpire, which had in a seven-hours meeting with the Presidency and the National Council of State assured on its readiness for the February 14 and 28 general elections.

“In actual fact, the INEC chairman stated in a press conference that they have made provisions for displaced electorates in the Northeast to exercise their civic duties, towards electing their candidate of choice.”

He also said that many Nigerians, civil society groups, human right activists, as well as the U.S. Department of State frowned at this unfortunate coup-like postponement, stressing that countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria and Iraq conducted general election despite facing more violence than Nigeria.

While lamenting the current situation of things in the country, especially the insecurity and the alarming rate of corrupt practices among public office holders, Ayoola said: “We live in the paradise on earth, but we are always sad when we remember our country.

Buhari is the man for the task – APC Scandinavia
- Accuse the Jonathan-led administration of building a warfare instead of a welfare system
The Coordinator of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Scandinavia, Lawal ‘Gustaf’ Ayoola has described General Mohammadu Buhari, Presidential candidate of the APC as the best man to make Nigeria a better place for all.

Ayoola argued that as Nigerians yearn for change from the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), General Buhari is the tested and trusted man for the job.

He further added that other Nigerians in the Nordic countries (Norway, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Iceland), like himself, left what they do officially to join the change team out of their beliefs in the credentials of the former general.

Speaking on the effects of the postponed elections, Ayoola noted that it was a wrong signal to the international communities.

“The postponement is a very dangerous step for our democracy because it sends a wrong signal to the international communities and to Nigerians in diasporas, which is not good for Nigeria besides the image of the President,” he observed.

Furthermore, he noted that sometimes it is hard to understand the heart of the present administration of the ruling party because according to him: “they tend to do things for personal interest without considering the ripple effects in a larger perspective.

“I think they are very myopic in their thinking and this is one of the reasons why Nigerians should say no to this present administration”

According to the APC Coordinator in Scandinavia, average Nigerians who merely look at the country as just being Nigeria may need to have a rethink because many of the things that happen within the country are far more than just being Nigeria.

“Insurgency for instance started as just a Nigerian thing, and it has now become a major threat to Africa and the world at large due to government’s failure to curtail it.

“Many African countries are looking up to the Nigerian-led government.

“The general perspective in the Scandinavia is that if anything goes wrong in Nigeria, it may affect almost the whole world. This is a general view of the super powers since Nigeria is the most populous black nation in the world.

“When things are normal in your country, many foreign countries will be willing to trade with you and in the case of the otherwise like it is now, expatriates will keep moving out to other African countries with stable economic activities.” Ayoola enlightened.

In a separate statement, Balogun Kamorudeen, Interim Secretary, APC Scandinavia, Finland Chapter, noted that political interference with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is totally unacceptable.

Kamorudeen said: “It runs contrary to the principle of INEC, an electoral umpire, which had in a seven-hours meeting with the presidency, and the National Council of State assured on its readiness for the February 14 and 28 general elections.

“In actual fact, the INEC chairman stated in a press conference that they have made provisions for displaced electorates in the North-East to exercise their civic duties, towards electing their candidate of choice.”

He also said that many Nigerians, civil society groups, human right activists, as well as the U.S. Department of State frowned at this unfortunate coup-like postponement stressing that Countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria and Iraq conducted general election despite facing more violence than Nigeria.

While lamenting the current situation of things in the country especially insurgency and the alarming corrupt practices among public office holders, Ayoola said: “We live in the paradise on earth but we are not satisfied when we remember our country.

“The issue of Boko Haram is something that could easily be handled but the problem is not the insurgents but leadership and compromise in the part of the Nigerian military,” he said.

The coordinator further said that there is need to probe into what action was carried out in the cases of a couple of Boko Haram members that were apprehended if gallant Nigerian soldiers fighting for the peace of the country deserve to die in the name of mutiny.

“Many African leaders would ignore the handwriting on the wall; they will also not listen to advice from proper quarters but history is there to visit, especially in the case of Gbagbo,” he warned.

Ayoola, a Masters Degree student of Global Management and the Founder of Nordic African Association (NAA), an association that serves as a bridge between the Nordic countries and African nations, said: “We all own this country but very few are heading it, it does not mean that all of us are bad. That is why we always advice Nigerians and other Africans to live as a good example wherever they are.

“We are not being funded by anybody. We fund ourselves because we just believe we can make this country better. So we want to see how to influence the political system of Nigeria the Scandinavian way,” he summed.

My adventure Scandinavia

Over the last three years, John Chibuike, former Rangers International of Enugu stalwart, has been making the headlines across the Scandinavian countries of Sweden, Norway and has finally berthed in Turkey playing for Gaziantepspor in the Süper Lig.
In 2007, he was snapped up by Swedish side, BK Hacken, where he was converted from his usual defensive role into the midfield where he has blossomed ever since. In his new role as a defender for Hacken in the Allsvenskan, the Nigerian reportedly made 27 out of 30 games during the 2010 season scoring three goals and making three assists.
His impact was equally remarkable in the following season so much so that his teammates and then Allsvenskan top scorer, Mathias Ranégie, said ‘he was the team’s most import important player and that he very soon could see Chibuike playing on a European top level.’ His prophesy would soon come to pass when Chibuike was snapped up in a four-year deal with Norwegian side Rosenborg, where he played behind a main striker. In the summer of 2014, he moved from Rosenborg to Turkish side Gaziantepspor, signing a four-year contract.
Born October 10, 1988, there have been rumours that Chibuike may turn his back on his native country to play for any country of his choice, but that could be farther from the truth as he hinted in an exclusive conversation with Morakinyo Abodunrin.

From Sweden to Norway

I had my breakthrough in Sweden and I gave everything I have at BK Hacken. The fans were amazing to me, the coach always believed I could do something better especially when the team was in difficulties. When I was moving to Sweden from Nigeria, I had made up my mind that I would not return to play in the Nigerian league irrespective of anything. I was seeking for better exposure. I was not interested in the money; all I wanted then was to be exposed and be consistent on the pitch. Thank God, I moved to the club I was wanted. The atmosphere was very conducive for me and I enjoyed every bit of my career off and on the pitch successfully. I can say I got better and developed my career in Sweden but I am now a better player in Turkey.

From being defender to attacker

I started my career as a defender and that it was in that position that I played till I moved to BK Hacken of Sweden. My coach at BK Hacken was very intelligent and he actually brought out the best in me. He gradually changed my style and position; it started in training where I played in the midfield but he didn’t play me in the midfield in official games until when we were short of players due to injuries. It was then he asked me to play in the midfield and I did it well; he was impressed, everybody was impressed. Though I was nervous in that position, I quickly summoned up courage. From then, I like playing upfront and holding the ball. This is why I said ‘my game was developed and nurtured in Sweden.’

From Sweden to Norway

I am grateful for the exposure I got in Sweden; I was made there and I got everything I needed to succeed in my career in Sweden; and life was comfortable. I am sure if I had not developed well in BK Hacken, I wouldn’t have gotten to the level I’m today.

I was already in good form when I moved to Norway to sign for Rosenborg FC; that transfer was regarded as one of the finest in Sweden and Norway then. Rosenborg just won the league and they needed to play in Europa qualifiers and they believed I got what it takes. I was able to prove myself by scoring and creating goals. In Rosenborg, I was played as a striker and it paid off as I was able to score goals. Though at some points, things were not really going well as a result of changing of coaches. I was not that active in my position again, and the consistency was not there as it was before, coupled with injuries. Even during the time, the coach put me on the bench, whenever I got my chance, I scored goals. I scored in the Europa consistently but I was not happy with the rotation system in the team. Nevertheless, I felt at home in Norway and I quickly adjusted to life which made it easy for me to score goals. My friends who were in the country before me made it easier for me to settle down.

Turkish delight

Towards the end of my exit from Norway, I had so many offers from different leagues except the English Premier League and Spanish La Liga. I had offers in Spanish Segunda; I had in France, Qatar, Dubai, Germany, and Portugal. Turkey came late with offers in Russia and Ukraine, but I chose Turkey because of the history of the league in the lives of Nigerian players both present and past. When the offer came, I sat down to see how it would go. I don’t want to move just because of money. It is my desire to play in England or Spain in my career but I have to start building for the future. I moved here (Turkey) because I wanted to enjoy my games since it would give me the opportunity to be part of history of Nigerian players who had played here. I made several consultations before I finally came here; and so far so good, it has been wonderful, that means I had made the right choice. Everybody knows I am not making money because my club is not one of the richest clubs in Turkey. I am consistent and doing well for Gaziantepspor. I am building on what I had learnt in Sweden and Norway, this is another life and I’m really enjoying the experience. The Turkish league is better than that of Sweden and Norway with good training facilities and fantastic weather. I really fell in love with their weather when compared to Sweden and Norway; and the pitches here are also nice to play on. The Turkish league is better than that of Sweden and Norway. There are many experienced international players here, and the competition is highly intensive.

My allegiance with Nigeria not Sweden

The truth of the matter is that I was not approached officially by the Swedish FA. It was the fans that started the matter, and that was when I was doing well for BK Hacken as one of the best foreign players. They called me Rivaldo and some will say ‘come and play for Sweden.’ They brought up that matter when I was overlooked by our national team coach; even my coach then at Hacken was surprised and that was how they started the news of my possibility of playing for Sweden. Yes, I could have played for Sweden if I stayed for a particular number of years and got FIFA clearance. But I have not lost hope of playing for Nigeria. I am not the only one affected. When you go to Norway, Turkey, Sweden, you will see a lot of players who have what it takes to lift the country but they are yet to be given such opportunity. I heard the news that I ignored the Super Eagles invitation, but the truth is that it was not an official invitation. As a professional with FIFA orientation, I know when to fight my club if they refuse to allow me to play for my country. That invitation was never official, it was not on FIFA’s free day and I was told to come and play one friendly just because I want to represent my country? It’s unfair, and it was my club that said no; and even if my club had allowed me, I would have turned it down. You don’t go for trial when you want to represent your country, especially Super Eagles. As for me, I am as good as every other player in the team but I can’t kill myself because I have not been invited officially to play for the national team.

I’m not angry that I didn’t get the opportunity to play under Coach Stephen Keshi. I never think of Keshi with anger. That he did not invite me could have happened to any other players, and any good coach could as well done the same thing, as such I won’ t call for his(Keshi) head. He’s a good coach, someone who has transformed a lot of players; he has really done well and he deserves a lot of applause.
