Cossy Orjiakor Is HIV Positive?

An email sent by an anonymous subscriber says that Cossy Orjiakor is HIV positive. This report is unconfirmed as efforts to reach very close persons to Cossy proved abortive.

A purported close friend of Cossy disclosed that she is currently undergoing antiretroviral medication.

Here Is Part of What The Mail Said: “I want to use this medium to warn all the s*x addicts using Cossy as their frequent client.. If you wanna live long run from this babe. I’m very close to her. In January she learnt about her HIV-positive status and since then she had spent all her money on antiretroviral drugs in order to keep her immune system strong. My friend Cossy is still living in denial of it. Again I’m warning all her customers to be careful. You only have one life to live. Make u no say I no warn you o. Chai!”
What do you think? Could this be true, or perhaps it’s the handiwork of a jealous ‘friend’?

Nigeria House of Representatives- El-Classico in the making.1

They say to cater for ones citizens forms the bedrock of democratic government, but alas, reverse is the case for Nigerian helmsmen, who at the zenith of power manipulate it to their advantage.

 Nigerian House of Representatives has been known to be the center of Nigeria power romance, trying to galvanize the purse of the country to their sides. Their dribbling attitude towards Citizenry has caused a lot of havoc to the fulfillment of "next to nothing "promises of the Government.

1. The first is the delay in passing the 2013 budget of the Republic of Nigeria owing to the fact of the President of Nigeria, Jonathan failing to assent the budget because he is not allowing the increment in their allowances.

 Members of the House of Representatives launched an agitation for a N7m increase in their quarterly allowances, barely 24 hours after resuming from a two-month recess.

Each member of the House currently enjoys N27m per quarter as allowances but the lawmakers want the sum jerked up to N35m. They reportedly questioned how the   “N5m” budgeted for each member’s medical expenses and insurance was utilized by the House.

2. The second point is the recent rejection of bill to give Unemployed Graduates Allowances. The bill was sponsored by Arua Arunsi (PDP, Abia), sought to amend the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) Act 2004 to cater for unemployed graduates of tertiary institutions who could not secured employment.

Mr Arunsi had argued that the bill was to design and implement programmes to combat mass unemployment for graduates that are between the ages of 18 to 35 years and also between third to fifth year of post-graduation experience.

Most of the lawmakers present at the chamber stoutly opposed the second reading of the bill on the ground that it failed to meet critical criterion of filling gaps inherent in the existing laws it was seeking to amend.

Conclusively, don't let us be fooled around, these band-wagon players in the government are playing on our intelligence. Bore-holes, Health centers amongst other ill-fated incentives do not mark up to better expectations of Nigeria generation to come- Teeming Youths. Payments of Unemployment benefits/allowances form the main resources to cater for the generation of this nation, will also make us at par with developed countries, thereby developing the country’s National Income cum Per Capital Income which will boil down to improving the standard of living of the populace… so wouldn’t we rather find a partial officiating refree for the El.classico players

USING APPROPRIATE PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORY TO EXPLAIN BEHAVIOUR OF THE GRAND COMMANDER OF ARMED FORCES OF REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA IN SOME INSTANCES FROM MAY 29^TH 2011 TILL DATE.

INTRODUCTION

EARLY LIFE AND PRESIDENCY

Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan, GCFR, BNER, GCON (born 20 November 1957) is the 14th Head of State and current President of Nigeria. Prior to his role as President, he served as Governor of Bayelsa State and Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Jonathan is a member of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP).

Jonathan was born in what is now Bayelsa State to a family of canoe makers. Jonathan holds a B.S. degree in Zoology in which he attained Second Class Honours. He holds a M.Sc. degree in Hydrobiology and Fisheries biology, and a Ph.D. degree in Zoology from the University of Port Harcourt. He worked as an education inspector, lecturer, and environmental-protection officer. He entered politics in 1998.  Jonathan and his wife Patience have two children. He is a Christian. He comes from the Ijaw.

On 15 September 2010, the president announced on Facebook that he had decided to run for reelection. This made him the first Nigerian president to declare his re-election bid via social media. It was a northern Muslim candidate's turn to run for the presidency.

He won with 77.7% of valid votes cast.On 18 April, Jonathan was declared the winner of the election and was sworn in on May 29^th 2011. His victory was, however, followed by violence in the north over claims of vote rigging.

DECISIONS IN CONTROVERSIAL SCENARIOS AND POPULACE REACTIONS

1.      Ministerial nominations and appointments

In 2011, the Nigerian President failed to nominate and appoint at least 36 indigenes (one for each of the 36 states). This is in breach of article 147 subsection (3) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999: "...the President shall appoint at least one Minister from each State, who shall be an indigene of such State".

2.      Removal of fuel subsidy

On 13 December 2011, the 2012 fiscal year's budget removed any provisions for fuel subsidy. The issue of fuel subsidy removal in Nigeria has always been a controversial topic. According to a poll carried out by the Alliance for Credible Elections (ACE- Nigeria), 80% of Nigerians opposed the plan to remove fuel subsidy.

On 1 January 2012, the Jonathan administration announced the start of a controversial plan to end fuel subsidies. Many prominent Nigerians have spoken out against the removal of fuel subsidy by the Jonathan administration. Former Petroleum Minister Professor Tam David-West has spoken out and expressed concern that the planned removal of fuel subsidy will squeeze the economy, increase inflation, and hurt both businesses and the public.

A former military Head of State and a former Minister for Petroleum & Natural Resources, General Buhari, urged President Jonathan not to remove fuel subsidy and to tackle corruption.

General Yakubu Gowon, another former military Head of State, has warned the government that the country's infrastructure should be revived before fuel subsidy removal steps are taken.

Former military president, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, joined millions of Nigerians protesting against the removal of fuel subsidy by the Jonathan administration, saying that the action is ill-timed.

Following the The Nigeria Labour Congress' warning that the country faces many strikes, the country unions followed up with strikes that were matched with civil protests from 9–13 January 2012. Protesters and groups called for President Jonathan to resign over the removal of fuel subsidies. After five days of national protests and strikes, on 16 January, Jonathan announced that the pump price of petroleum would be 97 naira per liter.

3.      1st October 2010 Independence Day Bomb Blast

During his South African magistrate court trial on 2 May 2012, MEND's (Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta) former leader Henry Okah came out and insisted that President Jonathan masterminded bomb attacks. He told the court that President Jonathan and his aides organised the October 1, 2010 independence day bomb attacks in Abuja in a desperate political strategy to demonize political opponents, including the former military President General Ibrahim Babangida, and to win popular sympathy ahead of the 2011 elections.

The Nigerian Presidency has denied the allegations of terrorism levelled against President Jonathan. A media statement was issued on 2 May 2012, acknowledging the accusations from Okah. The statement went on to say that: “The Presidency categorically affirms that these allegations are false in their entirety and without any factual foundation." The Presidency also expressed no interest in commenting further for the time being, but plans to "make a full representation on the matter to the court when the trial opens."

4.      Renaming of the University of Lagos

In May 2012, President Jonathan changed the name of the University of Lagos, renaming it the Moshood Abiola University in honour of the late MKO Abiola. The action drew attention from critics -- among them were pro-Abiola advocates and parties involved with the university. Some critics cited that the President did not submit an appropriate bill to the legislature for the change; that the University's brand name should not be tampered with. The UNILAG Alumni Association commented that although they do not have prejudice against MKO Abiola, they were concerned "that neither the Governing Council nor the University Senate nor any other stakeholder was consulted before the change was announced." Bola Tinubu congratulated Jonathan for taking action, but urged him to "do it right", adding that "we must be careful not to localise or sectionalise MKO". The President has attempted to regularize the renaming of the school by submitting a bill for an amendment of the University's establishing law to the legislature.

THEORIES TO EXPLAIN THE PRESIDENT DECISION IN ABOVE NAMED CONTROVERY SCENARIOS

1.      PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTRACT THEORY

This theory is mostly associated with organizational context. Is simply the relationship between an employer and the employee, in which speaks about the mutual expectations of inputs and outcomes between both parties involved.

Is also seen as the stand-point/feeling of employees which is attributed to the following:

·         How the employee is being treated by the employer.

·         What the employee puts into the job.

This theory is mostly used also with change management, which can be translated into the governmental world of Nigeria as a whole. The GCFR is seen as the employer while the populace is the employees. The way decisions are taken is contingent on the feelings of the population. The manner of executing his decisions at such crucial controversial scenarios has graving effects on the population making the population to take to the streets as a means to protest such ill-treatment by the GCFR.

            Comprehensively, the theory explains why people holding the reins of power must take caution when making decision which affects the lives of the masses. Proper consideration must be taken into account amidst other “tread slow strategies” when making such decisions and reactions to such event/happenings/incidents.

Hence, his reaction (GCFR) was uncalled for, not that it is not good but because it fails in the following points:

·         No proper consideration of the effects on the lives of the masses

·         It was ill-timed and so on.

2.      PSYCHOLOGICAL –COERCIVE THEORY

This theory was jointly propounded by G.Patterson and M. Sidman. The idea behind this theory is twin in nature. That most people or individuals get overwhelm with power when they gets it and seems to influence their subordinates the way they like without proper consideration of how they feel. The other end is that they (leader) make use of coercive means to obtain compliance/obedience from their subordinates.

Coercion- is the practice of forcing another party to act in an involuntary manner (whether through action/inaction), might involve use of threats/intimidation or other forms of pressure to get obedience.

Psychological-coercive theory tries to explain why people engage in a negative behaviour to seek adherence of a social outcome and which other individual responds in an equally negative fashion- all these exchange results to increase in intensity until some of them gives up.
