Buhari’s is A Walking Dead Man – Fasehun

By     No comments:

Founder of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Dr. Frederick Fasehun, has bemoaned the present state of the nation under President Muhammadu Buhari, saying Nigerians are not getting the reward for voting the president and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) into office.
Speaking in an interview, Fasehun who said Buhari’s body language has failed said he (Buhari) was able to instill fear into Nigerians during his rule as Head of state because of the fear Nigerians have for the military.
“Nigerians who cheered the president before the elections are now jeering him because things have gone from bad to worse.
“I think Buhari’s body language is no longer working. He was lucky to have ruled this nation as a soldier and every Nigerian fears the military government. His own military government was particularly dictatorial so we thought maybe now as a civilian president he will bring in good governance and probably change.
But some of us believe leopards don’t change their spots and this is what we are getting”
“We thought Buhari will come in and make everybody smile.
That was why Nigerians cheered him when he was coming in but now we are jeering. Things have to change for the better.
Nigerians must have food on their table, they must be able to pay their house rents.
They will have stable electricity to illuminate their environments, school fees will be paid easily, minimum wage will be paid and so on”.
“But tell me, which of these things I have mentioned have we experienced since Buhari came into office? It may sound like criticizing him but we are actually telling him that so far, not so good”.
“He still has more than three years to go so there is plenty of time for him to change. I am happy that the leaders of this country that have spines are telling those in government that this is not what Nigerians expected”.
“We all know things were bad. We didn’t expect things to be worse. Some Nigerians are jubilating because the dollar has appreciated to almost N300. That clearly shows that there is no improvement in our situation”
Also speaking on the loots recovered by the Buhari administration so far, Fasehun said Nigerians deserve to know how much has been recovered so far and the monies are being spent.
“Daily, we hear that people are returning billions as a result of plea bargaining but Nigerians are not seeing the effect of that money. I believe he will do better if he shows us where this money is being paid and how the money is being spent” he said.

We Will Prosecute 2015 Under-Age Voters – INEC

By     No comments:
UnderAge.jpg
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said on Wednesday that it would prosecute under-age voters in Plateau.
Dr Godwin Kwanga, the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of INEC in the state made this known in a Stakeholders’ Forum in Jos ahead of re-run elections in the state fixed for Feb. 20, 2016.
Kwanga said that the state was replete with underage voters in possession of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
He announced that the polls would hold in Langtang South, Pankshin North and Pankshin South state constituencies. The REC said that the menace of underage voters almost marred the last general elections in the state. According to him, the menace produced a lot of mutilated and voided votes during the April 11, 2015 polls in Quan’Pan Local Government Area.
“Our experience in Quan’Pan showed that a lot of underage voters were having the PVCs and this led to a lot of cancellations.”
“One of the underage voters, who had PVC bearing his image and the age of 36 years, confessed to INEC officials that he was only 16 years old.”
“We looked the other way even when in the same elections, our tags were photocopied and massively reproduced by agents of political parties,’’ he said.
He, however, said that unlike what happened in the April 11 polls, INEC was set to prosecute any case of underage voters in the coming rerun and supplementary polls

Jay-Z sparks outrage after wearing an anti white medallion signifying whites are 'wicked and weak and inferior'

By     No comments:
Fashion choice: Rapper Jay-Z turned heads at the Brooklyn Nets game on Tuesday when he wore a Five Percent Nation medallion

Jay-Z raised eyebrows at the Barclay's Center last week when he wore a medallion symbolizing the Five Percent Nation.
The Brooklyn-born rapper was sitting court-side at a Nets game on Tuesday with wife Beyonce when he was snapped wearing the controversial symbol.
One of the core tenants of the Five Percent Nation - an off-shoot of the Nation of Islam - is that white people are 'wicked and inferior' to black men. 
Race game: The Five Percent Nation is an offshoot of the Nation of Islam and one of the core tenants is that white people are 'weak' and 'inferior' to black men who hold the power of GodRace game: The Five Percent Nation is an offshoot of the Nation of Islam and one of the core tenants is that white people are 'weak' and 'inferior' to black men who hold the power of God

When asked by a reporter whether the medallion is meaningful to him, Jay-Z shrugged and said 'A little bit'.
This isn't the first time that the rapper has been connected to the Five-Percenters.
He was photographed wearing another similar medallion while giving radio interviews for his album Magna Carta Holy Grail last summer.
And in 'Heaven' a track on that album, Jay-Z references the Five-Percenters acronym for Allah by rapping 'Arm leg leg arm head'.
The Five Percent Nation was founded in 1963 by Clarence Smith, a former student of Malcolm X. 
But Smith decided to split off from the Nation of Islam after disagreeing over the idea of God. 
Smith didn't believe that God was a supernatural being, but rather something found in every black man (black women do not have God in them and are considered subordinates, but still hold a higher standing than white people).
Which means he disagreed with the Nation of Islam's belief that founder Wallace Fard Muhammad was God since Muhammad was bi-racial and not 'purely black'.

Cross River Governor, Deputy Slashes Own Salary By 80%

By     No comments:
destination-cross-river

Cross River State governor, Senator Ben Ayade, his deputy, Professor Ivara Esu and all members of the state executive council have agreed on a cut on their monthly salaries.
The governor is leading by example, offering 80 percent of his salary. His deputy and all Executive Council members, however, agreed to forfeit 20 percent to make provision for the large number of political aides appointed by the governor.
The Commissioner for Information, Mrs Rosemary Archibong, who announced the pay cut by the governor and his aides in Calabar, Tuesday, said that the decision was voluntary and would take effect retroactively from when the aides were appointed.
“What the governor wants is to reach as many people as possible by appointing many people into government and this involves huge financial commitment and so to make sure our brothers and sisters who are part of government go home with something at the end of every month,” Archibong said.
According to her, the Executive Council members were in support of the vision of the governor to impart positively on the people of the state and volunteering part of their monthly emoluments was in support of that vision. Mrs Archibong said that the deductions from each commissioner’s salary would be based on the amount due each one as salary monthly based on calculations by the Revenue Moblisation and Fiscal Commission in Abuja.

‘Refineries To Restart Production February Ending’ – NNPC

By     No comments:
refinery

Nigeria’s refineries are expected to resume production before the end of February after attacks on their feedstock pipelines forced their closure in January, the head of refining at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, said yesterday.
The oil company halted crude flows to the refineries around mid-January after suspected militants blew up vital pipelines feeding the plants. The refineries were shut down few days later by the NNPC.
The 150,000 barrel per day (bpd) Port Harcourt refinery is expected to restart its crude distillation unit on Saturday after receiving crude supplies by sea to be followed by a resumption in pipeline supplies.
“The Warri refinery has no crude. It will take close to 10 days to pile up crude stock and for Kaduna maybe we’re another five days away after that”, Dennis Ajulu, executive director of refining and technology at the NNPC, told Reuters.
According to Ajulu, the pipeline to the 125,000 bpd Warri plant could be repaired in four days provided there were no security constraints, but he expects that it could take a bit longer and crude would be delivered by sea instead.
The Kaduna refinery, which can only operate one of its two crude distillation units for now, receives its feedstock via the Warri plant.

Ajaokuta Steel Mill To Be Completed This Year, Fayemi Assures

By     No comments:
Kayode Fayemi

Nigeria is putting plans in place to hand over the multi-billion dollar Ajaokuta Steel complex in Kogi State to private investors this year as part of a plan to revive Nigeria’s industrial and mining industries, Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr. Kayode Fayemi has said.
Construction of Ajaokuta, which lies on the Niger River and was supposed to have an installed capacity of 5 million metric tons of steel a year, began in 1979.
However, work on the complex was delayed as a result of government’s failure to pay the builders, Russia’s Tyazhpromexport, on schedule. By 2004, when it was taken over by India’s Ispat Industries Ltd., it was yet to produce any steel, leading to the Federal Government tevoking the concession agreement in 2008.
All outstanding legal issues surrounding the revocation are yet to be resolved, Mr. Fayemi said.
“Ajaokuta Steel Mill is one of the major issues I have put on the table”, Fayemi said in an interview in Cape Town, South Africa, yesterday. “Under my watch” it will be revived, he said.
The administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is trying to boost the slowest economic growth in Africa’s biggest economy by spending on infrastructure and diversifying economic activity away from oil, the price of which has fallen to a seven-year all-time low.
In addition to steel, the Minister said the government aims to improve the implementation of mining laws, make available better data on the country’s deposits and act to regulate informal mining.
However, due to global rout in commodity prices, mr. Fayemi doesn’t expect significant investment soon.
“The sector has been comatose for some time. We will be ready for the next boom”, he assured.
Initially the focus will be on industrial minerals for domestic consumption, he said, adding focus will be on limestone for cement production, iron ore for steel, bitumen for asphalt, barium for oil drilling and lead and zinc.
The country will also try and attract investment into gemstone mining and will improve data on gold deposits in Zamfara State and elsewhere before trying to attract investors in 2017, Mr. Fayemi, a former governor of Ekiti State, said.
An attempt will also be made to revive thermal coal production for power generation.

500-capacity Owerri Prison Now Has 3,000 Inmates – Mr. Matthew Kalu (DCP)

By     No comments:
prisoners

The Deputy Comptroller of Prisons (DCP), Mr. Matthew Kalu has decried the overpopulation of the Owerri Federal Prison.
Mr. Kalu made the lamentation during the commissioning of the Information Communication Technology, ICT, Centre, built and donated to the Federal Prisons, Owerri, by the member representing Okigwe South constituency in the House of Representatives, Deacon Chike Okafor.
“This prison was initially built to accommodate only about 500 inmates. When I took over the establishment in August 2015, I inherited 1,906 inmates, but today, we are harbouring over 3,000 inmates. That is the problem. This is over and above what the prison’s facility can conveniently accommodate at a time”, the DCP said.
“Some of the inmates, who were supposed to have left the confines of the prison, could not go because of the periodic judiciary strike. Again, because of the increase of crime and criminality in the state, the number of the inmates has continued to grow,” Kalu said.
He further disclosed that the number of the inmates continued to increase each day the courts sit, while those awaiting trial hardly get the opportunity to leave the enclave.
The DCP was equally expressed serious concern over the living condition of the inmates, who according to him, “are on bondage and not given the necessary assistance needed for their proper reformation”.

Military To Lai Mohammed: We’re Not Fighting Boko Haram With Substandard Weapons

By     No comments:


The military has denied the claim by Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed that troops combating Boko Haram insurgents in the North-East were doing so with substandard weapons purchased by the Jonathan administration.
This is even as the authorities said hopes of rescuing the Chibok schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram about two years ago in Borno State have not dimmed. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo said last weekend that anyone still assuring the nation that the girls would be rescued was a liar.
Speaking on Africa Independent Television (AIT), Director of Defence Information, Brig.-Gen. Rabe Abubakar, dismissed reports that soldiers fighting Boko Haram were poorly equipped. “What I know is that we are using equipment which is okay for us. We have been achieving results. What I know is that we have equipment that can take us to where we are going…However, you cannot say you have everything you need for your operations. Even the developed nations’ Armed Forces lack one thing or the other,” Abubakar said.
But Mohammed dismissed the claim in a statement, saying the successes recorded by the present government could not be attributed to the substandard weapons allegedly procured by Jonathan.Jonathan had insisted that President Muhammadu Buhari was fighting insurgents with the weapons his administration bought.
Meanwhile, Gen. Abubakar has also assured that efforts being made to rescue the abducted Chibok schoolgirls would not be in vain.
He said: “In the course of our operations, a lot of persons who hitherto we didn’t know, were rescued by the Armed Forces. So, fundamentally, what I’m saying is that inasmuch as our effort is still ongoing by the level of momentum we are putting in now, we are hopeful.
“I believe rescuing the Chibok girls isone of the targets that we set for ourselves. And I believe that with what we have done and what we are set to do, we will rescue any captive with the insurgents, not only the Chibok girls … We are extremely searching for not only the Chibok girls, but any other captive. It is just a matter of time,” he said.
Obasanjo, who was the guest speaker at the seventh Osun Interactive Session organised by the Staff Club of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife last Friday, doubted the possibility of rescuing the abducted schoolgirls alive.
He said while some of the schoolgirls had been killed for refusing to convert to Islam, others had been trafficked.
“Today, if anybody tells you he will bring back the Chibok schoolgirls, it is a lie. Buhari has even said that he does not have any information about the Chibok girls, except those who escaped and some of them have been rehabilitated….Some of them were sold and maybe in 10, 20, 30 years, we will come back and we will hear some of their stories. But if anybody tells you he will bring back the Chibok girls, it is a lie,” Obasanjo said.

Photo:- Chinese Boss Cuts Off Nigerian Worker’s Finger In Cross River

By     No comments:


A Chinese worker, identified as Njaga Chang, has cut off one of the right fingers of his Nigerian colleague at the Xin Xin Quarry in Akamkpa Local Government Area of Cross River State.
The 23-year-old Nigerian victim, Nsikak Tommy, was said to have incurred the wrath of the Chinese for failing to quickly turn on the generator at the quarry site.
Chang was said to have initially attacked Tommy with a water hose but later resorted to the use of machete when the victim took to his heels.
Narrating the incident to Southern City News on Sunday, an eyewitness, Ene Bassey, said the
Chinese was quickly taken away to an unknown destination in Calabar after the incident happened.
“The incident happened at about 4.30 pm on Saturday. The Chinese man was angered by the Nigerian’s slow response when he was told to turn on a generator at the quarry. Chang had initially started with insults on the Nigerian, but later attacked Nsikak Tommy with a water hose.

But as Tommy tried to escape from the assault, Chang chased him with a machete. He first deflated the tyres of Tommy’s motorcycle to prevent him from fleeing and tried to cut his head. Instinctively, Tommy raised his hand to block the cut aimed at his head. In the process, the machete cut off one of his fingers. He was left in a pool of blood as he cried for help.
After the incident, owners of the Xin Xin Quarry, who also own two other quarries in Akamkpa known as Expanded and Fughou Quarries, rather than attend to the injured man, ferried the Chinese man to Calabar and had him hidden.
It was Tommy’s fellow Nigerian workers at the quarry that managed to take him for treatment at the Bakor Medical Centre in Calabar,” Bassey said.
Southern City News learnt that the police in Akamkpa arrested and later released Chang on bail.
Confirming the arrest, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. John Eluu, said he got confirmation from the Divisional Police Officer in charge of the Akamkpa division that Chang was arrested but released on bail after they had agreed to settle the matter.
Eluu said:-
“Yes, I got confirmation from the DPO that the Chinese national was arrested and taken to Akamkpa, but was later released on bail. They agreed to settle the matter amicably amongst themselves.”

I’m Not An Emperor or Thief But You Are – Oshiomhole Replies OBJ

By     No comments:



The Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole has affirmed that no one is more deserving to be called an emperor than former President, Olusegun Obasanjo.
Reacting to a recent statement by the former President, saying governors live like emperors while hindering the local governments from performing their statutory functions, Oshiomhole said such claims do not apply to him or his administration.
The Comrade governor who spoke through the State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Prince Kassim Agbua said perhaps Obasanjo was referring to governors that ruled between 1999 and 2007 when he was in power.

ALSO READ :

According to the governor, Obasanjo exhibited traits of an emperor during his tenures as military head of state and civilian president, adding that on his part he has been able to manage the meager resources in the state in a transparent manner.

“The former president was a member of the PDP until a few weeks to the general elections when he tore his membership card. He may be referring to PDP governors whom he presided over. He may have information about PDP governors whom he presided over that he wanted to share.

“Our economic infrastructure is second to none in the history of this state. The PDP presided over this state for a period of ten years and they left a tale of woes, neglect and discredit infrastructure. Today we have converted that sorry state to a sweetened state by virtues of the economic infrastructure we have put in place.

“It will be a wrong estimation for anybody to put Oshiomhole in the rank of those who are called emperors. We don’t own a private jet in this state. Others have and they don’t have the means to sustaining it. We don’t live an exorbitant lifestyle. The governor’s office is the same except that we
renovated it to give it a facelift.
“Go round and ask local government chairmen. Oshiomhole does not touch local government money. The directive he gave was that they should pay primary school teachers as a first line charge because of his commitment to education.

“When there was an interregnum, he saved money for the local governments. Some got as much as N800m. They inherited it because Oshiomhole saved the money for elected chairmen,” Oshiomole said.
