With the 2015 presidential elections now concluded and the country preparing for the inauguration of a new administration on May 29, President Goodluck Jonathan believes that it is appropriate that steps be taken to restore the environment in Nigerian cities, towns and villages to their pre-elections campaign state.

Accordingly, President Jonathan directs that the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation and the various associations that coalesced into the Jonathan/Sambo Support Group immediately begin the process of removing the posters, billboards, banners, signs and other campaign materials in support of his re-election bid which still adorn the landscape in major cities across the country.

The President thanks all individuals and organisations who made sincere contributions and worked with immense dedication for the Jonathan/ Sambo Campaign. He applauds his supporters and other Nigerians for the disciplined, patriotic and democratic manner in which they comported themselves before, during and after the elections.

Now that the elections are over except for re-runs in a few states, President Jonathan urges Nigerians to put the recent political campaigns behind them and join hands with the incoming administration in working for a more united, peaceful, stable and progressive nation.

PDP will regrat giving Buruji Kashamu Senatorial Ticket - Festus Keyamo

 

Lagos-based lawyer, Mr. Festus Keyamo, says the Peoples Democratic Party goofed by presenting Buruji Kashamu as its senatorial candidate in the Ogun-East senatorial election.

Keyamo said this during a programme titled “Legal angle on Nigeria Info FM,” which aired yesterday.

He said Kashamu, who has been accused of drug trafficking in the United States, may spend more time facing probes than attending sessions at the National Assembly and may be forced to vacate his seat.

Keyamo said although Kashamu had a right to contest since he had not been convicted of any crime, the PDP should not have fielded him as a candidate for moral reasons.

7 Things A Young Professional Should Never Do On Social media

 

1. Complaining about your job, coworkers or boss. While this may seem like a no-brainer, sharing any negative feedback about your current job, employer, or coworkers is the number-one no-no. Don't doubt that future (and current) employers will raise a red flag at the slightest jab or complaint via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc. Even a simple "dreading going to the office" or "bored at work" comment is a bad way to brand yourself in any industry.

 

 

2. Sharing too much information. Know where to draw the line between your digital and personal life. Relationship issues, personal problems, and TMI tidbits are best kept in private conversation rather than being attached to your personal brand online.
