Sir Isaac Newton - Sir Isaac Newton Quotations - Public Domain
Sir Isaac Newton.  
"I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."
"If I have seen further [than certain other men] it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants."
"No being exists or
 
can exist which is not related to space in some way. God is everywhere, created minds are somewhere, and body is in the space that it occupies; and whatever is neither everywhere nor anywhere does not exist. And hence it follows that space is an effect arising from the first existence of being, because when any being is postulated, space is postulated."
"I frame no hypotheses; for whatever is not deduced from the phenomena is to be called a hypothesis; and hypotheses, whether metaphysical or physical, whether of occult qualities or mechanical, have no place in experimental philosophy."
"I keep the subject of my inquiry constantly before me, and wait till the first dawning opens gradually, by little and little, into a full and clear light."
"If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention, than to any other talent."
"Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy."
"No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess."

Orubebe Apologises For Outburst At Election Results’ Collation Centre 

Updated April 1, 2015
sd_godsday_orubebe_on_eye_on_ministry_of_niger_delta_061112A former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe, has apologised for the outburst he expressed on Tuesday while the collation of Nigeria’s presidential election results was on-going at the International Conference Centre (ICC), Abuja.
Mr Orubebe had accused the Chairman of the Independent National electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega of being ” tribalistic, selective and partial” in dealing with issues of irregularities raised during the just-concluded presidential and National Assembly elections.
He said his action was as a result of frustration, triggered by alleged refusal of the INEC to take his party’s petition.
Apologies to fellow Nigerians 
“My colleague came here and approached him gently about the petition and he told my colleague to go and give it to his secretary.
“We were surprised that yesterday, the secretary came and threw the paper at my colleague and the chairman said that he was not going to take the petition. So we were wondering that, in a position that we are talking about providing the best for the people of this country, what we expect from the commission is fair and equal treatment for any political party,”  Mr Orubebe said.
Hours after the announcement of the winner of the election, Mr Orube apologised on his twitter handle saying: “At ICC; the event and outburst of yesterday (Tuesday) is regrettable. Apologies to fellow Nigerians”.

Mr Orubebe has also congratulated the winner of the Presidential elections, General Muhammadu Buhari, saying the result is “victory for democracy”. His outburst came before a session of result announcement started. Before that section of collation resumed, Mr Orubebe had tweeted on his twitter handle: “We must all remain calm and peaceful as we are ready for the second phase of collation and result announcement”.
However, in raging outburst, he brought the proceedings to a temporary halt, insisting that the collation would not continue.
“Professor Jega! You cannot continue,” he shouted for minutes.
After his outburst, the chairman of the INEC said the ruling party had not submitted any written petition to the commission.
“Yesterday, after we took the first batch of results in this hall and as we declared a recess, as I was working down to the office, my PA came to me and said that here are some papers that the PDP representatives gave to him.
“I told my PA to take back the documents to them, that we don’t collect petitions on the platform where we are collating results.
“As I speak to you, the secretary of the commission is in the office to collect petitions.
“I have started collations and I cannot be receiving petitions in this hall.
“As I speak to you I have not received any petition from my secretary which the PDP has submitted.
“On the issue of results with the APC, I have not seen any result. On that issue, I think it is frankly unfair to me. I have not seen the results and how can I speak on something I have not seen
“Please, let us be careful about what we say or do. Let us not disrupt a process that has ended peacefully.
“Mr Orubebe, you are former Minister of the Federal Republic. You a statesman in your own right. You should be careful about what you say or what allegations you make and certainly you should be careful about your public conduct,” Professor Jega said.
During a recess after the incident, Mr Orube said it was “unfortunate that the chairman of the commission allowed things to degenerate to this level”. We approached him quietly. The PDP had in a petition raised issues concerning four states and the petition was taken to their man office. Nobody was ready to take the petition”.

PRESIDENT BUHARI'S ELECTION VICTORY


Posted by at No comments:
A former Niger-Delta militant, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, says with the defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan, he and other militants might be forced to ‘return to creeks.’
Asari-Dokubo, who hails from the same state as Jonathan, said the voting pattern showed that the South-West and the North ganged up again the South-South and South-East geo-political zone.
The ex-militant said in a statement by his spokesperson, Rex Anighoro, that it was unfair that the minorities were being emasculated by the majority ethnic groups.
He said he feared that the government of the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, would be vicious.
Asari-Dokubo said, “The conditions that advanced the need to embrace the creeks have been sadly re-energised, it is clear that a vicious government who may maim and murder the voice of the so called minorities may have just been birthed.
“Indeed integration is nonexistent as regional gang ups and supremacy is symbolic with this victory.”
The ex-militant, who had in January said he and his colleagues would wreak havoc if Jonathan lost, praised the President for being a true statesman.
He said it was the struggle of the militants that led to the Jonathan presidency.
Asari-Dokubo said since the South-South had lost the presidency, ex-militants would meet to decide the next line of action.
He said, “While President Jonathan enjoys his moments and basks in the euphoria of a now world renowned statesman having congratulated Muhammadu Buhari, we must quickly be reminded that our struggle was never about Jonathan or about the presidency.
“President Jonathan was a beneficiary of our struggle, our sweat and blood that many bled and died for, he was never in the struggle and he can never wish away our collective march forward for statesmanship.
“Yes indeed to an extent he was a mitigating factor in self determination pursuit as we went on sabbatical, this mitigation he seem to have willingly repudiated. The days coming will be critical, we shall study all the conditions and consult widely before determining the way going forward for our collective existence and survival as a people. The days coming shall either drive the quest of integration or further separate us.”
