PoliticsRe: #FreeEse:Emir Sanusi Denies Malicious Lies That Said He Refused To Help #freeese by 2n2k(m): 8:27am On Feb 29, 2016
If the case is as being reported, then

Why has the legislator representing the girl's constituency in Balyesa House of Assembly not raised the issue in the house?

Why have the senators and Representatives from Balyesa including Ben Bruce not escalate it to the National Assembly?

Why have both Balyesa and Kano state governments kept mute on the issue even now that media have taken up the cause?

I read the IGP's and NAPTIP' chairman's interviews in the Punch of today. They both virtually washed their hands off the case and rather appear to rely on the Emir of Kano to help in solving the case.

This is how chibok case was politically muddled till it became unsolvable.
PoliticsRe: Newswatch Magazine Headline About Buhari And PTF: Throwback by 2n2k(m): 11:56am On Feb 27, 2016
@ Slap1

Thanks for posting the full article. You have helped us greatly now that we can read the details and make an informed judgement of the character of our leader and how provable and tenable the allegations are.

That is much better than relying on cover headlines which may just be sensational to sell the magazine. That was my initial gripe when somebody said that the content of the magazine was 'locked'

Regards.
PoliticsRe: Musa Yar'adua With His Sons Umaru And Shehu Yar'adua: Throwback Photos by 2n2k(m): 11:44am On Feb 27, 2016
engrjacuzzi:
musa Yar'adua would have been our founding father of our time. he revived the Nigerian railway corporation and had a lot of reform program. God bless you Sir! RIP
Before you distort history, now sit down for a quick lesson.

There are 3 Yar'aduas in that picture.

First from left is Musa Yar'adua. He was the father of Shehu and Umaru. He was the Minister for Lagos Affairs up to 15th January 1966 and after that, he did not participate in government till his death. Railway was running well during his time and did not require any revival. In any case, railway was not part of his portfolio.

In the middle is Shehu Yar'adua. Son of Musa and older brother of Umaru. He was in the military and rose to become second in command in Obasanjo military regime as Chief of Staff- Supreme Headquarters. He was never a head of any government. He was in no position to revive/reform anything much less railway.

On the right, is Umaru Yar'adua. He was a state governor and later the president of Nigeria. He battled ill-health during his tenure more than he battled Nigeria's problem. Before he came in, obasanjo civilian regime had negotiated Chinese loans to rehabilitate railway. He came in 2007 and suspended the whole project and the loan. It was Jonathan regime that revisited the project and reinstated the loan. That is what led to the delay in completing Kaduna-Abuja rail line while changing of the gauge of Lagos-Kano rail never took off.

Now which 'Musa' and which railway revival are you referring to?

What is difficult to get there? What the OP posted is a photograph of a hard copy which appear worn. It is not a digital copy. He can also post the photographs of the relevant pages of the article or did he only conveniently stumble on the cover?

Christianity EtcRe: El-rufai Moves To Regulate Religious Preaching In Kaduna by 2n2k(m): 5:41pm On Feb 22, 2016
Why do you Christians of southern origin have victim mentality?

Anybody who has lived or living in Kaduna will know that the amendment to the law is to tie up the loose end of the existing law which has been in operation since 2004 (after the religious riots that rocked the state 12 years ago) in the light of Zaria saga and the allegation of some Islamic sects making uncomplimentary remarks about a wife of the prophet.

The 2004 law affects (and in fact targeted) Islamic preachers more than Christians. It is the law that empowers JNI to regulate who and who can preach during Ramadan. It is the law that forbids any preacher (Islamic) that preach hate even in other states from being allowed to have tafsir in kaduna mosques.

Name any Christian preacher/pastor that have been banned under the existing law.

PoliticsRe: Masked Witnesses Cannot Testify Against Kanu - Court To FG by 2n2k(m): 5:30pm On Feb 19, 2016
sleazy5:
The decision of the Learned trial Judge, Justice Tsoho is apt. A trial court does not just sit impassively in a trial, it participates. But its participation is limited to taking records, admitting exhibits into evidence, listening to witnesses as they give their testimony and most importantly watching the demeanour of a witness in order to form an opinion of that witness-whether to believe or not to believe the witnesses
If the witnesses against kanu are to be masked it prevents the court from making such an opinion. Therefore His Lordship was right when he declined the application. And as a minister in the temple of justice I'll say: As the court pleases.
ICC mostly take evidence of witnesses behind protection. The South African court took evidence against that disabled athlete from masked witnesses. How did they watch the demeanour of the witness if it is that important?

You that is 'certificateful' do not know New Media. Is Buhari the first president to appoint someone to take charge of new media? What position was Reno Omokiri holding in Jonathan government?

By the way, new media is social media like online newspapers, webcast, blogs, Twitter, online fora like nairaland. Old media refer to traditional media like radio, television, hardcopy newspapers.

And so whatz the effect?!
Patricia Etteh, Adewolu Ladoja and simiar cases only got their status back (and maybe the emoluments), not the seat itself.
Ladoja came back to complete his term because his term had not elapsed at the time of the judgement but he couldn't recontest under PDP because primaries had already been done which returned Akala.

Etteh did not challenge her impeachment in court but the House of Representatives reversed itself at the very last meeting held in June 2011 by voting to delete any reference to her impeachment in its record of proceeding thus granting her amnesty of sort.
PoliticsRe: Fashola Can’t Run Power Ministry Like He Ran Lagos —CACOL by 2n2k(m): 2:55pm On Feb 10, 2016
Government should just ignore this noise-making Cacol or is it Cacoon

They shouted GEJ down on fuel subsidy. Three years later with trillions of naira down the drain, we are begging PMB govt to remove fuel subsidy.

They shouted on Yar'adua to reverse the sale of refineries in 2007, a decade later and tons of money on turn-around maintenance, the refineries hardly function and worth less now than they were in 2007.

They forced Obj not to sell Nitel. Nitel was eventually liquidated 15 years later at a price that could not even pay off its few staff.

If the electricity companies cannot break-even, how are they going to improve on provision of electricity? A poster suggested they should take bank loans. Will banks lend to a company that cannot generate enough revenue to pay back?

The CACOL that is now personalizing the increment to Fashola, where was it when the whole process started in January 2015? Was Fashola or even PMB in govt then? It was a good decision taken by GEJ govt to allow the NERC and electricity companies to review MYTO and set competitive prices for each region. Public hearings were conducted by the companies throughout the country. The noise makers didn't complain that time. The process was virtually completed ready for gazette by October 2015 before Fashola was appointed into govt. He didn't participate in the fixing of the tariffs and the law doesn't even permit the minister of power to do so. It is the responsibility of the Chairman of NERC to issue Regulatory Order on tariffs which Amadi did before vacating the position. Where is the corruption there?

Are they drilling the oil around Chad basin? YES or NO?

We share the "lake Chad" with the country Chad - why are they not throwing billions into discovering oil in that basin on their own end?
I don't care which part of the basin, plate, bowl or even bucket that Chad produce oil from. The post that I quoted appear to infer that Chad does not have oil (otherwise French companies would have been exploring there), so I gave those statistics to show Chad is indeed an oil producing nation.

I remember that Chadian govt fined CNPC a sum of $1.2billion and suspended its licences in 2014 for polluting the environment while drilling oil in the southern part of the country. I don't know which basin Chad south belongs to.

If there is oil in Chad basin, French companies would have been drilling the oil in Chad (our neighboring country).
Chad has the 10th largest oil reserve in Africa at 1.5 billion barrels and has been producing oil since 2003. It is currently the 7th biggest producer in Africa and oil accounts for about 70% of its income.
Niger too is an oil producing nation with fully functioning refinery.

They withdrew 400k from your account via mobile money? What is mobile money? The only mobile transfer I know is possible from your story is the gtbank SMS transfer ,and even with that the fraudsters will ultimately need the last 4 digits of your ATM card to successfully use it. And the SMS transfer has a limit 50k and 20k to gtbank and other bank accounts respectively.
So its either the story is false or not well constructed.
Cos certainly your funds would have been transferred to a bank account which is linked to a bvn and getting such person's bio data won't be so difficult for the police and the bank.

PoliticsRe: Jonathan Government Created TSA, But Couldn’t Impose It – Buhari by 2n2k(m): 12:20pm On Feb 06, 2016
Mayflowa:
Many people in Nigeria has same firstname and surname. Having then in same ministry or different one is not uncommon. So you cannot use names to say this is one person because they bear same name.

Moreso, somebody can have ghost workers in their office. They open many accounts with different names but in actual life, this is one person. He connives with the bank to do this just so to earn 10 persons salary.

But BVN is identified with finger print which it attached to ur account. If you have 10 Bank account, with or without different names, ur finger print for one will reveal other accounts owned by you. In civil service, u can only receive salary. The system will delete 9 accounts and choose the smallest salary.

Or the system will flag it and not pay you at all and you will probably be sacked or arrested for earn more than one salary even if you are truly working in these places. You are not suppose to work in anoda place. Civil service law does not even permit civil servants to do business or politics.

However. U can still beat the system if you truly put a real ghost workers' names that are not in government jobs. But na the person go collect the money. He will then decide whether to pay you or not. Lol.money dey cause fight o
I could see your confusion. What you have described here is not TSA but IPSIS - centralized payroll system introduced by GEJ govt to check the issue of ghost worker. It has nothing to do with TSA and was fully implemented during his regime.
PoliticsRe: Jonathan Government Created TSA, But Couldn’t Impose It – Buhari by 2n2k(m):
ogahug:
TSA was launched by GEJ in January, 2015. TSA required BVN for full implementation. It was the same GEJ that initiated BVN policy that was needed for TSA full implementation. Though Buhari tried to acknowledge GEJ; he yet ended up discrediting him. Let's leave this blame game. You've not created any program for yourself ; yet you keep blaming him that created a blue print for you. Let's not be economical with the truth.
Can you educate us about the relationship of BVN with TSA? Since you have been operating TSA on Remitta platform, how many times have you had to supply your BVN?

Furthermore, Buhari did not discredit GEJ in his speech. It was not rightly reported by the newspaper that the OP quoted. See another version of the same event

"We have tried to impose what we call Treasury Single Account. The reason is simple. This government did not initiate it, it was initiated by the previous government. But it was so unpopular to the bureaucracy, so the previous government for its own reasons, could not impose it.

“But when we came and we found out that we were broke, we said this is the way to do it.

“I will tell you two examples to convince you. Firstly, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation had more than 45 accounts. Ministry of Defence had more than 70 accounts. Tell me which Accountant-General can trace all these accounts?

“So, we imposed TSA. By the end of December, coming to January 2016, we mopped up more than N2.2trn which would have been used through bureaucratic system to raise vouchers and sign cheques so that they don’t go into the next budget.”
