STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN
EID-EL-KABIR MESSAGE TO NIGERIANS FROM GOODLUCK
EBELE JONATHAN, GCFR, PRESIDENT, COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF
OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF
NIGERIA
My Dear Compatriots,
1. 1. I extend warm greetings and felicitations to you all as
we celebrate this year's Eid-el-Kabir festival.
1. 2. I also congratulate all Nigerians who successfully
undertook the Hajj this year despite the unforeseen
difficulties which developed over the issue of male
companions for some of our female pilgrims.
2. 3. Although the problem was eventually resolved with
the positive intervention of the Federal Government, I
have ordered a thorough post mortem of the incident
with a view to ensuring that our Hajj airlift operations
are never disrupted by such problems in future and
that no Nigerian pilgrim is ever subjected to such
traumatic experience in the Holy Land again.
1. 4. Nigerians remain a people of great faith with the vast
majority of our people professing belief in God either as
Muslims or Christians.
1. 5. I believe therefore that we should all seize the
opportunity of the Sallah season and the public holidays
to reflect on how we can bring the ideals and virtues of
our religious beliefs to bear on the positive resolution
of the many challenges facing us as a nation.
1. 6. There can be no doubt that we will make faster
progress towards the attainment of developmental
objectives as a nation if we all resolve to do more to
live up to the highest ideals of our religious beliefs
including the fear of God, willingness to make personal
sacrifices for the collective good, selfless service, respect
for laws and constituted authorities, honesty, justice,
equity, fairness, dutifulness, peace and harmonious co-
existence with others.
1. 7. My administration will continue to give dedicated,
committed, focused and purposeful leadership towards
overcoming old and emerging challenges before the
nation.
1. 8. While our doors remain open for constructive
engagement and dialogue with all Nigerians, we shall
continue to aggressively implement all measures
deemed necessary for the restoration and maintenance
of peace in all parts of the country.
1. 9. As we celebrate the Eid-El-Kabir, let us all remember
the plight of the many thousands of our compatriots
who have been displaced by the floods which recently
devastated many communities across the nation and
resolve to contribute whatever we can to ameliorate
their suffering.
1. 10. I have already announced a relief package
of close to N18 billion and constituted a national
committee to raise more funds to help victims of the
floods.
1. 11. In the true spirit of our major religions
which enjoin us to be generous to the needy, I urge all
Nigerians who can do so, to donate munificently to the
national relief fund for affected persons and
communities.
1. 12. We will monitor the disbursement and
utilization of the funds released by the Federal
Government and those raised by the National
Committee very closely to ensure that they are
judiciously and expeditiously expended for the benefit
of the flood victims.
1. 13. May God bless and reward all who help
the flood victims.
1. 14. I wish all Nigerians who undertook the
Hajj a safe journey back home.
1. 15. Happy Sallah to all Nigerians.
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR
President, Federal Republic of Nigeria

EPITOME OF COURAGE

Governor of Central Bank, Mallam Lamido Sanusi, has decried the
controversy over the oil price benchmark for the 2013 budget.
Sanusi, who spoke to our correspondent in Jos, Plateau State,
after delivering the second annual lecture on the 87th birthday of
former Head of State, Gen Yakubu Gowon, at the National
Institute for Policy and Strateic Studies, Kuru, near Jos, said
having more money to spend was not the solution to the
country’s woes, but how to improve the quality of capital
expenditure.
While government had pegged the oil price for the 2013 budget
at $75 per barrel, members of the National Assembly wanted the
government to jerk it up to $80 per barrel
The CBN governor said the pegging of the oil price at $75 per
barrel was to make the budget more realistic, especially with the
fluctuations experienced by the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation.
He said, “The revenue assumptions of the budget involve two
variables and they are fundemental issues. It assumes price and
assumes quantity. This budget already assumes 2.53 million
barrels a day for 365 days in 2013. In my view, given the
historical performance of NNPC, that output projections are
already over optmistic. NNPC will never achieve that target.
Historically, it had failed to bring up enough money for 2.3
million barrels per day or 2.2 mbd.
“The underestimation does not just come from price, it comes
from output. Now output is actually when you have more control.
If you are going to have a budget that says NNPC is going to
produce 2.35 mbd, do we have any process to determine that
NNPC actually produces that quantity daily? Do we know how
much NNPC produces? And do we know that everything that is
produced in this country translates into revenue that gets back to
government and which government hardly gets?
Sanusi said the reason why government did not get all the
derivable revenue was because of the leakages in the production
process, through illegal piping of petroleum products and illegal
refining
He said, “We know for a fact that there are illegal refineries,
illegal pipelines; we know where these refinries are, we know who
own them. I mean, does anybody ever believe that security
services in Nigeria do not know where the illegal refineries are
located in the Niger Delta or who own them? Those are the
leakages.

SHOCK WIN , for REGION with economic downfall

The European Union has won the Nobel Peace Prize , and given
the dysfunctions in Europe right now, this is being greeted with a
lot of jokes and skepticism.
And frankly, given some of the past winners of the Nobel Peace
Prize, the award is already looked at skeptically by some.
But actually, this was a great call. What the EU has accomplished
peace-wise has been pretty remarkable.
Here are the first two paragraphs from the press release:
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the
Nobel Peace Prize for 2012 is to be awarded to the
European Union (EU) . The union and its forerunners have
for over six decades contributed to the advancement of
peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights in
Europe.
www.businessinsider.com/eu-wins-nobel-peace-prize-2012-10

THE European Union has been awarded the Nobel
Peace Prize for six decades of work in advancing
peace in Europe.
The committee said the EU had helped to transform
Europe "from a continent of war to a continent of peace".
The award comes as the EU faces the biggest crisis of its
history, with recession and social unrest rocking many of
its member states.
The last organisation to be given the award outright was
Medecins Sans Frontieres, which won in 1999.
Announcing the award, Nobel committee president
Thorbjoern Jagland acknowledged the EU's current
financial problems and social unrest.
But he said the committee wanted to concentrate on the body's
work over six decades of advancing "peace and reconciliation,
democracy and human rights".

Kaduna —A 40-year-old-man, Mohammed Abubakar of Hayin Rigasa, Thursday, brought his bride-to-be, Umulkair Ja’afar, before a Shari’a Court in Magajin Gari, Kaduna, for alleged assault and intimidation.

He told the court that arrangement for the wedding had gone far, when Umulkair told him that he must buy her a car before the ceremony could hold.

He said: “We have started making arrangement of getting married, but she requested that I must buy a car for her before she will marry me.

“I told her that I don’t have the money because I just bought my new car.” Abubakar further told the court that his inability to buy a
car for Umulkair ended the wedding arrangement.

He told the court: “After this development, the woman started sending insulting and intimidating text messages to me.”

He said he had witnesses, who would testify on the issue. “I have shown them the messages she has been sending to me. I want to bring them before the court to testify,” he added.

The Presiding Officer, Ibrahim Inuwa, adjourned the case to October 18, for the continuation of hearing.

am using this medium to facilitate with the girls On NAIRALAND.

On December 19, 2011, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 66/170 to declare October 11 as the International Day of the Girl Child, to recognize girls’ rights and the unique challenges girls face around the world.

For its first observance, this year’s Day will focus on child marriage, which is a fundamental human rights violation and impacts all aspects of a girl’s life. Child marriage denies a girl of her childhood, disrupts her education, limits her opportunities, increases her risk to be a victim of violence and abuse, jeopardizes her health and therefore constitutes an obstacle to the achievement of nearly every Millennium Development Goal (MDG) and the development of healthy communities.

A senior lawmaker says oil-rich Iran can keep pumping crude oil
to global markets for 150 years to come.
“Iran is the only state with exceptional conditions due to its [oil]
reserves and production. Assume that our production capacity is
four million [barrels per day] while our proven reserves exceed
five billion barrels. [Hence] we can claim that we are the only
country capable of supplying oil to the world for 150 years to
come,” Massoud Mirkazemi, chairman of Iran Majlis (parliament)
Energy Committee, said on Tuesday.
“Saudi Arabia’s proven oil reserves are more than Iran’s, with the
difference that the Saudi government is producing over 10-11
million barrels. Russia’s [crude oil] reserves and production are
also high. Therefore, these countries cannot live long in oil
supply,” he said.
"“Under current conditions, we must take the energy security into
account. We believe that the United States is trying through its
existing policy to strengthen its management on the world energy
security,” said Mirkazemi added."
“We predict that some oil consumer countries like Japan, [South]
Korea and China would face US threats in the energy sector.
However, if the US [manages to] dominate the world’s energy
resources, it would easily put pressure on the European economy
and threaten the economies of China, Korea, Japan and Russia,”
he noted.
Mirkazemi also stated that world oil production will reach its
peak in 2020, while demand for black gold will keep rising.

Dangote the government out of power

AFRICA’s foremost industrialist and president of the
Dangote conglomerate, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, weekend
announced a donation of N430 million to victims of flood
disaster and women empowerment in Kogi State.
Kogi State hosts one of Dangote’s cement factories
believed to be one of the largest in the world.
The state also hosts Dangote Academy of Learning and
Development where young local talents are trained to
boost the manpower needs of the nation’s industries.
At a ceremony attended by top government functionaries
in the Kogi State capital Lokoja, Alhaji Aliko Dangote said
the contribution given through his Dangote Foundation,
was meant to complement effort of the government in
providing relief materials to victims of flood disaster and
resettling them as soon as possible.
He said N50 million worth of foodstuff and relief materials
would be donated, while N150 million would be given in
cash.
He also said N230 million would be distributed to women
to boost economic activities in the state.
In a similar donation, last year, the Dangote Foundation
gave out N600 million for the economic empowerment of
women in Kano State.
In his speech titled: Lending a helping hand, Dangote said
he was seriously touched by the pain and grief the victims
were passing through, saying it had led to loss of lives,
property and may lead to spread of diseases and
epidemics.
“Obviously, the government alone cannot shoulder this
onerous responsibility of bringing relief to the victims.
The private sector and public-spirited individuals should
join hands with the government to assist the victims of this
national disaster that has ravaged about 21 states of the
federation,” he said.

I hope this time around he would not address the chair only at the United Nation.
another name for United nation is TALK SHOP FOR AFRICANS LEADER.
