NIGERIA HAS A NEW ACTING PRESIDENT



And we have a new favourite politician : Meet Dr. "Goodluck Jonathan" Nigeria's new acting President who assumed powers today after President Umaru Yar'Adua, who has been ailing and out of the country for the last two months, called the BBC and said he was in Saudi Arabia recovering from a heart condition.

Dr. Jonathan, who's full title is HIS EXCELLENCY GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN,Ph.D., is described on a Nigerian website as follows:

[a] man with great quest for knowledge holds a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) Honours, University of Port Harcourt, Master of Science (M.Sc.) and Doctor of Philosophy
(Ph.D.) from University of Port Harcourt respectively. He is seasoned administrator, an academic, a democrat, and an accomplished technocrat and indeed the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State.
Dr.Jonathan holds an Honorary Fellowship of the Nigeria Environmental Society (NES), Fellow of the Public Administrators of Nigeria (PAN),
Fellow of the International Association of Impact Assessment (IAIA), Bona Fide Member Fisheries Society of Nigeria (FISON). awarded "Best Performing Deputy Governor", and conferred "Exemplary Leadership Quality and Good Governance Award". And recently, he was given an
Honorary Award for Democracy and Good Governance. A native of Otuoke in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was born November 20th, 1957, to the family of Mr. and Mrs. Ebele Jonathan. He was amply endowed with intelligence, strength and tact right from childhood, even though his parents were of a humble social background. Young Goodluck started his primary education at St. Stephen Primary School (now State School Otuoke) and later proceeded to St Michael Primary School Oloibiri where he passed his First School Leaving Certificate honourably. In 1971, the young lad furthered his studies at Mater Dei High School Imiringi and by 1975, he sat for the West African School Certificate and passed with flying colours.
Goodluck Jonathan was identified to be a great child right from his tender age because of his attributes and rare disposition. No wonder, his paternal grand mother "nicknamed" him "Azikiwe" as a striking simile to the great Zik to connote another great Nigerian to come in the nearest future. Goodluck was appointed Class Prefect in class three in 1973, he was further appointed Secretary to the School Food Committee, because of his brilliant disposition. And in his class four and five, he was again appointed Masterson House Prefect while his fellow prefects unanimously elected him as Chairman of the Committee of Prefects.


Rumpole says: We dare say Dr. Goodluck Johnson appears most qualified for the office he now holds, and let us be the first to wish him....well...Good luck!

Does the good luck president have any ties to our humble Justice Building?

Why does that look like a reprint of a email telling me I have 57 million dollars waiting for me in Nigeria. All they need is my Name, SSN, Address, Telephone Number and my Routing and Bank Account Number to send the cash.

Rumpole, have you been duped?

THE CAPTAIN REPORTS:

CIRCUIT COURT ELECTION UPDATE .....

The one remaining incumbent Circuit Court Judge that had not yet filed, has now done so.

Division 30, Judge Rosa Rodriguez has filed to run for re-election.

That completes the races, as far as incumbent filing. Now, it's the long wait until April 30, 2010, this year's qualifying deadline, to see whether any more incumbents (in addition to Judge Adrien) will face opposition.

Cap Out ...

Will the new Prez be soliciting me to help him liquidate his vast fortune in the US...?

The person who wrote that is the same person who keeps trying to retain me on a family law matter to recover millions!
