PoliticsRe: The Big Question: Is Jonathan The Only Former President Of Nigeria? by abagoro(m): 10:02pm On Aug 07, 2015
InglishTeechar:
I write this post without any party affiliation but it seems some Nigerians just lack short memory or they chose to ignore the administration of past leaders, as a Nigerian ask yourself this very honest question. Is the former president of Nigeria Goodluck Ebele Jonathan the beginning of Nigeria's problems? Is he the cause of Nigeria's problem? So why so much fuss about him alone why not other leaders, we must be very careful in our criticism so as not to invite God's anger.
I can vividly remember when Abacha family were singled out by Abdulsalami and Obasanjo between 1998 and 2001. Then the entire country focused on the Abacha regime. Jonathan refused to probe Yar'Adua for his own reasons.

You were making sense until you derailed and you derailed so badly beyond help. Jonathan did not destroy Nigeria, if anything he tried to unite her but your power-hungry Huasa-Fulani folks prefer divide and rule and to make Nigeria ungovernable. The result is what you get.
I guess Americans, Europeans, Africans, Rivers people are equally Hausa-Fulani. Do you think only Igbos have this your perception (which of course is false)? Why not let Ogbia and Bayelsans cause the trouble and face the consequences than buy a case you have no hand in. The resultant war will still lead to Bayelsans conniving with the rest of Nigeria against you.

Igbos really need to understand this my adage. Failure is denied by the parents but Igbos adopt failures as children in Nigerian politics. People like Pat Utomi are success and are solidly into Igboism but because he supports Buhari or is against rebellion, they will label him traitor.

Oliseh is just ignorant and stuupid, when Keshi selected his AfCon squad in 2013 Yoruba and Hausas tagged it Biafra National team because Keshi is from Illah another Aniomatown in Delta State.

Do Oliseh think they will treat him like an Ahmed or Segun if he fork up, they will remind him of his root even if he mass produced the TED talk video and distributed for free to who cares.

I have friends and family members from Anioma, so Oliseh can be whatever he choses to be like Bruce sorry Caitlyn Jenner did
You guys are so incorporated in Igbo that you cannot see through the glasses. Igbos are generally self destructive and derive joy being victims of what they didn't do.

When some Delta boys took up arms and assassinated leaders of other ethnic groups, the rest of the country condemned their acts but Igbos hailed them as heroes instead of condemning such. The resultant effect was massacre of Igbos to revenge killing by the uninformed youthful soldiers. Isn't it ironical that same Deltans condemned the coup and resisted Biafra to the last.

Today the subject is Jonathan's recent destruction of Nigeria which the entire world including Europe, America and Niger Deltans condemned but alas only Igbos are causing trouble because Jonathan lost. Now I will still tell you that the rest of the country will still unite against Igbos including the Bayelsa where Jonathan comes from.

the truth might be bitter But it must be told my brother. Don't impose your identify on people that do not want to be identified with you.
Esogbue wrote this piece 3 years ago and we ironed it out decisively on Nairaland then. Anioma is not a clan or ethnic group but a coinage derived from various groups whose main unifying factor is common Igbo language and Benin influence. It is no different from Abia as a coinage whose main unifying factor is common Igbo language and Cross River influence.

That said, Aniocha and Oshimili are Igbos while Ika, Aboh and Ukwuani are yet to figure out their own identity. Asaba, Ogwashi, Igbo Uzo etc are purely Igbo and nothing else.

The bolded is simply sabotage. In any country at war where conscription is compulsory, hiding is treason punishable by death. There is no such thing as forceful recruitment. You were required to fight and you must. Army is not democracy.
The rest of your story is just hearsay. Biafrans never killed anybody for holding contrary views however if you start saying treasonable words in front of soldiers, don't complain if they treat you as a traitor.
Biafra was great.
You can ask those who lived then to give you undiluted story. Why has Nigerian army not started compulsory conscription since we are at war? You cannot win a war by forcing people to fight against their will and mind you that attitude is one of the act that made Rivers people and other minorities dislike Igbos.

He could have ben killed but he was not. My own people were killed in their thousands just for their tribal affiliations. So when you describe the defeat of our protectors by foreigners as "fortunate", permit me to take offence.
Biafran soldiers were gallant. Biafran soldiers were highly moral and very professional. Unfortunately those that crossed to your side were led by a chief sabo and offspring of cowardice called Banjo. Turn your frustrations westwards.
Biafrans were tyranical. My grandfather had most of his male children hidden except the few that voluntarily went to war. At least 1 in 3 of Biafran soldiers were forcefully recruited and taken to war front while most of those that refused were killed. Any elder who held a contrary view to Ojukwu and his fellows were tagged "sabo" and killed by the Biafrans. This happened everywhere from Benin to Calabar to Rivers and even in the heart of Igboland. It is no different from the way the present day agitators are calling Okorocha, Amaechi and Kachikwu traitors for either supporting or working with Buhari.
PoliticsRe: Enugu, The Pride Of The East. by abagoro(m): 12:13pm On Aug 06, 2015
Afam4eva:
Consciousness in the sense tgat, Enugu people don't carry their clan on their head like people from Ngwa, Owerri etc and that is why when an Enugu person is asked where he's from, he'll most likely say Enugu instead of Nkanu, Udi and to a lesser extent Nsukka. That's why the last Igbos that will disclaim their Igbo identity is the Enugu people and the Anambra people, though for another reason.
There exists no clan like Owerri in Igboland. Owerri is but a town of 5 kindreds which is the seat of Government in Imo State. The town belongs to Uratta which comprises of several distinct towns like Orji, Nekede, Egbu, Emekuku, Awaka etc. Uratta is bounded by Ohuhu, Ngor, Isu, Ikwerre and Etche.

I just felt the clarification needs to be made. Mbaise is equally not a clan as it is just a merger of Ngor, Uratta, Ohuhu (Ezilihi'e), Agbaja and Isu groups around 1940 for administrative convenience by colonialists. Some of these things are important for younger generation to know.

Many igbos have remained pacifists even under constant provocation due to war experience. Here is my advice for you: Any igboman who is tired of war shouldnt discourage others who are not. There are people who are born astronauts, doctors,engineers, warriors, fighters, stoping them from reaching their full potential will alter the balance of any community. STOP DISCOURAGING OUR ENGINEERS. STOP DISCOURAGING OUR DOCTORS. STOP DISCOURAGING OUR FIGHTERS.
That is exactly my belief but unfortunately many Igbos are pre-occupied with wrong orientation and radio biafra. To them everyone that was against Jonathan is their enemy while the said Jonathan killed the highest number of Massobites and disgraced BZM grandfathers. I wish the eyes of Igbos shall open to reality than fiction. Buhari's Government has not killed any single Massob or even IPOB members till date but Igbos have failed to see that simple truth.

Why cant IPOB and others station in Kogi border to defend Igbo land instead of spreading hate messages that will further relegate the Igbo nation to background.

Truckpusher:
Actually most of the contractors that Amaechi have refused to pay when he went on his roller coaster journey of personal interest abandoning his primary responsibilities to the Rivers people have not returned to work while some of them have and of course the new administration has already collected applications from fresh contractors which would be processed and their po's released in September and we will begin to see the garden city the way it has always been.
This is one of the reasons why outgoing Governments should be forced to do a proper handover and not absconding to Abuja while you're suppose to be handing over in your primary constituency . The garbage around PHC today is a stark reminder that Amaechi's fight was a personal fight of interest and not as he was trying to paint it . After all if you're fighting for a people and you notice that your fight is affecting them negatively - common sense demands that you stop fighting .
By September the city will smile again - I hope that Wike will learn from this too in 2019.

NB: most of these pictures were taken during the heat of the campaign.
In as much as I concur with you on the handover part, I can never join in anything falsehood. I opened a thread earlier on when Port Harcourt was already worse than Aba but it has improved now as Wike is buckling up. You do not have to drag Amaechi into this or lie that the pictures were taken long ago. We are all Rivers people and I can as well go out to the various dumps to snap pictures as it is right now.

However I give Wike credit for the gradual improvement in both traffic control and sanitation.I believe by September he will be fully on ground.

http://www.punchng.com/news/governors-labour-at-war-over-minimum-wage/
AUGUST 4, 2012 : NIYI ODEBODE

Organised labour is at war with governors after the state executives called for the abrogation of the National Minimum Wage Act. Northern governors, after their meeting in Abuja last week, had faulted the NMW law, saying each state should be allowed to fix its minimum wage Act. Their southern counterparts, in separate interviews with SATURDAY PUNCH on Thursday, backed the proposal, saying it was against the principle and practice of federalism.

Their position is in line with the decision of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, which has repeatedly called for the amendment of the NMW law. But the leadership of the two labour centres in the country – the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress – described the governors’ position on the NMW as selfish.

Calling for the abrogation of theNMW law, the Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, said each state should be allowed to pay its workers what it could afford. He stated, “Economic realities are different from one state to the other. States do not earn the same level of revenues both in internally generated revenue and funds coming to them from the Federation Account. Each state should be free to determine what best suits its situation.”

Also supporting the call for the abrogation of the NMW law, the Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, said the law was against federalism. He said, “As long as Nigeria is called a federation, states should be allowed to fix the wages of their workers bearing in mind their objective realities. “Ekiti, for instance, is second from the rear in revenue allocation of an average of N2bn monthly and yet it is put under the same yoke of minimum wage with Akwa Ibom State that earns an average of N10bn allocation monthly. This is not only unjust, but oppressive to Ekiti.”

Their Ondo State counterpart, Olusegun Mimiko, said minimum wage should not be the responsibility of the Federal Government. Mimiko, through the state Commissioner for Information, Mr. Kayode Akinmade, said, “The indices of revenue accruable to each state should be adopted in fixing workers’ salaries and allowances. It should not be the responsibility of the FG.”

Lagos State also supports the northern governors.The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Lateef Ibirogba, told SATURDAY PUNCH on the telephone that the lawmakers must look at every issue to be considered for amendment on its merit. Ibirogba said the state government had never hidden its displeasure on the forcing of the minimum wage on it by the FG. He said, “The reality is that the states are not blessed the same way. So, each state should be able to negotiate with its workers on how much it can afford to pay and other conditions of service. “A situation where the FG will announce a certain amount as the minimum wage will only put pressure on states that cannot afford it.”

On his part, the Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, said his opinion on minimum wage was the same with that of the Northern Governors’ Forum. He stated, “Our revenues are not equal. Our priorities are diverse. Our capacities vary. For instance, Kwara State, with just about N2.4bn federal revenue allocation and with about N800m IGR, currently pays close to N2bn as monthly salaries. “This is exclusive of other recurrent expenditure. What then is left for development? But if the state is allowed to fix its minimum wage, all stakeholders will sit down and agree on what is reasonable and sustainable. “The labour and other stakeholders in the state, including the traditional and religious leaders, will all be involved.”

Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State argued that it was wrong to fix a uniform salary structure and minimum wage for states. Every state, he had insisted during the last minimum wage crisis, should be allowed to negotiate its own wage with its workers according to its resource base.

NLC president, Abdulwahed Omar, and his counterpart in the TUC, Peter Esele, however, insisted that there was no country without an NMW.According to them, such a law is necessary to protect Nigerian workers. Omar maintained that the FG had a responsibility to fix a minimum wage to prevent workers from undue exploitation by employers of labour.

He said, “That is their selfish reasoning. Even advanced countries peg a minimum wage. Minimum wage simply means the lowest level of wage that can be paid a worker. “Employers are, however, free to negotiate higher pay with employees but not below. It is simply a safeguard against undue exploitation of workers by mean employers. That is why the responsibility of pegging the minimum wage lies with the FG.”

The TUC president said the governors did not have any option but to obey the existing Minimum Wage Act. He said the tendency to violate existing laws in the country was partly responsible for the drift to anarchy and the culture of impunity in the society. Esele said the organised labour might be compelled to drag governors found to be acting in contravention of the Minimum Wage Act to court. He said, “We will consider the minimum wage issue in our next NEC meeting.

“There is no part of the world you don’t have a minimum wage. Even in the United States, there is minimum wage, that irreducible minimum that must be paid to workers. “For instance, while we have the N18,000 minimum wage to be paid by all employers in the country, any employer who wants to pay more is free to do that.

“Ondo, for instance, pays 22,000; Edo pays 20,000. “We might have to take the governors to court on this issue of minimum wage. They have no respect for the law and that partly contributes to anarchy; if governors can take the laws into their hands, it is unfortunate.” Similarly, the Secretary-General of the TUC, Chief John Kolawole, said the governors were crying wolf over nothing. He challenged them to focus on good governance rather than dwelling on issues that could aggravate the poverty in the land.

He said Nigerians were looking forward to a constitution amendment that would be of beneficial to the citizenry. He accused the governors of going against a law of the land that went through the stipulated legislative processes. He said, “It is inconsiderate of the governors to be proposing such a clause; I believe they must be reacting to the reality on ground.

“Their reaction is much ado over nothing. Before the N18,000 minimum wage, our committee discovered that a lot of organisations were already paying it; so, what is this demand for? “We want an amendment that will be beneficial to all Nigerians. “They should focus on good governance and not issues that would make the people poorer and the wealthy richer. “These people are going against a law of the Federal Republic of Nigeria duly passed by the National Assembly and signed by the President.”

ABDULLAHI & DANIEL ETEGHE

LAGOS – INDUSTRIAL crisis appears imminent across the country as Governor Bukola Saraki of Kwara State who is also the chairman of Governors’Forum declared, Tuesday, that many states will not be able to pay the N18,000 minimum wage for workers as passed by the National Assembly recently.

This was just as the organised Labour warned the governors to avoid war with workers by their refusal to pay the minimum wage

Governor Saraki, who spoke with airport correspondents on arrival in Lagos for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, campaign in the state with the Vice President, Arc. Namadi Sambo, said politics apart, many states will have problems implementing the N18, 000 minimum wage as passed by the National Assembly

Saraki said: “Some states are going to have a lot of challenges with implementing it, not because they don’t want to implement it, not because they don’t believe that workers should have the minimum wage but you know the realities that we are facing, so there will be some states that will have challenges actually.”

While explaining that he is worried like every other Nigerians about the implementation of the minimum wage, Saraki said “I think that very soon there will be a forum that will allow us look at the issue of implementation, but there is no doubt about it except we want to play politics with it.” He added “Look I have two more months to go but I really have to put myself in the shoes and I think that all of us as stakeholders we need to think of the workers and don’t play politics with it. that is my own opinion.”

Organised labour, in its reaction warned state governors against refusing to implement the N18.000 new Minimum wage, to avoid war with organised labour. It said “for social justice, for peace and industrial harmony and to avoid what is happening in North Africa and other parts of the Arab world from happening in Nigeria, the governor must pay”.

PoliticsSouth East Co-operatives To Float Regional Bank With N10 Billion Capital by abagoro(op): 12:59pm On Aug 03, 2015
businessdayonline.com/2015/08/south-east-co-operatives-to-float-regional-bank-with-n10-billion-capital/

Thousands of cooperative groups in the five South East states under the aegis of South East States Cooperative Financing and Investment Limited (SESCOOP) are set to revive the moribund regional Cooperative Bank Limited, with an initial N10 billion as take-off capital, to drive deeper operations of micro and small businesses (MSMEs) in the region, BusinessDay can report.


Authoritative information made available to our correspondent indicate that SESCOOP top officials have already got favourable dispositions from the nation’s banking regulatory body, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to float the cooperative bank.


It was reliably gathered that the CBN, while largely supporting the move; has advised the movers of the regional cooperative bank idea, SESCOOP, to fly fast with the idea, and get it established; saying that such institution clearly falls in line with CBN’s aim of promoting micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), for which it has since set up a funding agency – the micro, small and medium enterprises development fund (MSMEDF).


In an interview with BusinessDay, in Owerri, Imo State, a top member of the SESCOOP and one of the brains behind the establishment of the Cooperative Bank, Peter Erika Okoye said, cooperative groups constitute the greatest change agents in empowering rural dwellers and the urban poor people, through the establishment of micro businesses; adding that it is these MSMEs that generate jobs for the unemployed.


“Only a Cooperative Bank understands the positions of a little pig farmer, a ground-nut seller, and fish farmer cooperatives and promotes them through advancement of micro-credits to the individual cooperative societies at little interest rates that would make it possible for them to pay back their loans. The deposit money banks (otherwise called commercial banks) would ask for collaterals, higher interest rates, which would discourage cooperative bodies from coming up to ask for loans. So, that’s why we are setting up the Cooperative Bank,” Okoye said.


Okoye, who is also the chief executive officer (CEO) of Rhino Energy Limited in Anambra State, informed that the Cooperative Bank, when established would be typically a regional bank, devoted to promoting cooperative development in the South East by advancing cheap micro loan facilities at very minimal interest rates to cooperative societies.


“We have about 10,000 cooperative societies in Imo State alone. In Anambra there may be nearly twice that number. When you take these numbers across the five states of the South East zone, you can only imagine how many cooperatives I am talking about here. But the sad thing is that almost all of these cooperative groups lack access to micro-credits. As a result, most of them are only struggling,” he stated.


He recalled how the late Obafemi Awolowo, as premier of the Western Region had provided then about £25 million to promote the establishment of hundreds of farmers cooperative groups in the region – the result of this was the massive growth of cooperative societies – leading up to the building of the Cocoa House in Ibadan.
Today, he said the South West zone leads the rest of the country in cooperative movement and micro-businesses.


“In the East, we had the Eastern Region Cooperative Bank, which later metamorphosed into the Cooperative and Commerce Bank, which helped a lot in promoting micro and small businesses then. We want to bring up again this Bank, especially at this time that all over the world, nations are developing faster through their cooperative groups which run micro, small and medium businesses. Besides, our own Central Bank of Nigeria is interested in promoting micro, small and medium businesses.” the SESCOOP boss said.


He spoke of how SESCOOP in recent time, has been sensitizing people through massive cooperative education in the zone, on the benefits of forming a cooperative or belonging to one.


Meanwhile, Geoffrey Samuel, the president of SESCOOP, said there is an urgent need for the South East zone to catch up with other parts of Nigeria, as well as other developing countries in Africa that have made great achievements with cooperative movement.
Such countries are: Kenya, Tanzania, Angola, Namibia, among many others.


Okoye informed that in order to whet the environment for cooperative culture and take-off of the regional Cooperative Bank, SESCOOP has concluded arrangements to hold an international cooperative investment forum in the South East later in the year. The conference which would also include exhibition of cooperative products, would showcase some of latest successes made by some developing countries through cooperative society.

rozayx5:
Some manufacturers have cut production by more than 50 per cent as the sector grapples with the current economic realities of continued drop in naira value and escalating production costs.
The President of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mr. Remi Bello, confirmed this to our correspondent in an exclusive interview on Friday.
“Most industries have cut production by 50 per cent,” he said, adding that some companies were shutting down while those still in production were operating skeletal services.
The LCCI president blamed the current situation on the recent decision by the Central Bank of Nigeria to exclude 41 items from accessing foreign exchange through the interbank forex market.
The CBN had prevented importers of 41 items including rice, consumables and household items from accessing forex through the interbank market.
According to the central bank, the action is meant to encourage local production of the banned items.
Bello insisted that the ban had triggered off the panic that led to the increase in value of the dollar against the naira.
The President of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, Mr. Frank Jacobs, also told our correspondent in an email interview that production in the sector in the past one year had been greatly undermined.


The manufacturing sector, according to a recent CBN data, recorded a 15.41 percentage point decline in the first quarter of 2015, growing in real term by -0.7 per cent as against 16.11 per cent recorded in the corresponding period of 2014.
Jacobs said the sector was going through a very difficult period characterised by high interest rate

My question is who owns TBX? Could this be an attempt to increase their popularity knowing fully well that Okorocha is a top news maker? It was incorporated in 2012 when Okorocha had assumed position as Governor. Could it be a money laundering company linkable to Okorocha?

premiums:
TBX group sponsored it. It's writen on the billboard. They also have there phone number written on it. maybe you should call them.
