Politics / Northern Terrorists Collect Taxes Same Way Southern Area Boys Extort Commu by abouzaid: 4:54am On Oct 29, 2021 |
Imation minister Lai Mohammed on Thursday said violent extremists collecting taxes from citizens across the northern parts of the country constitute the same security threat as street thugs extorting cash from citizens in the southern parts of the country. The minister said bandits and terrorists operating across the northern region should not be seen as running their own enclaves outside federal jurisdictions just because they have the ability to amass financial gains through violence and intimidation. “The issue is not about bandits collecting taxes,’’ Mr Mohammed said. “But that’s not the same as saying there is a new caliphate.” Mr Mohammed said there are several communities across the South where armed thugs impose levies on residents without consequences. “Do you know how many places in this country where area boys collect taxes and there is no banditry there? “I don’t want to mention names. In many of our cities, they carve out their own territories. So what they are writing is nothing. It is not indicative that the bandits have taken over,” the minister said at a press briefing in his office on Thursday.

The minister also criticised the Nigerian media for publishing Western outlets. Peoples Gazette was the first Nigerian outlet to publish a follow-on story based on The Economist’s report, which was soon followed with two additional stories, including the military’s rebuttal. “The point is about you (Nigeria media) swallowing hook, line and sinker, a report by a foreign organisation, which you have not even interrogated yourself, that’s my problem,” the minister said. Mr Mohammed’s new position on the credibility of Western media marked a stark breakaway from his days as opposition spokesman, especially between 2013 and 2015 when he was in charge of talking points for the then-opposition APC. Many party members repeated Western media claims that Boko Haram was controlling large swathes of the country’s territory the size of Belgium. The minister also used several Western media reports to knock President Goodluck Jonathan. And when The Economist endorsed Mr Buhari ahead of the 2015 presidential election, Mr Mohammed held media tours on the back of the report to mock the then-ruling PDP as a failure. https://gazettengr.com/northern-terrorists-collect-taxes-same-way-southern-area-boys-extort-commuters-lai-mohammed/?utm_source=operamini&utm_medium=feednews&utm_campaign=operamini_feednews |

Politics / 2023: Yoruba Muslims Will Not Vote For Christian Presidential Candidates – MURIC by abouzaid: 9:28am On Oct 25, 2021 |
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has reaffirmed its preference for a presidential candidate from the Yoruba Muslim stock. The group warned that any party that picks a Yoruba Christian as its 2023 candidate should forget Muslim votes. “No political party should tell us that they cannot find competent Yoruba Muslims”, Professor Ishaq Akintola said on Monday. A statement by the Director said no Yoruba Muslim ever occupied the State House either as president or vice president since 1960. MURIC advised presidential aspirants and parties mapping out strategies for the next general elections to heed its call. Akintola condemned the “stigmatisation galore” for Yoruba Muslims in Nigeria since independence. The organization claimed they are denied almost all civil liberties, including admission into schools. Akintola alleged many cannot get international passports, driving licences and voter registration cards because they are asked to remove their hijab for capturing.

Politics / Re: IPOB: Enough Is Enough! by abouzaid: 5:10am On Oct 25, 2021 |
99% of Anambra state residents believe that the next governor already knows himself so they're not really interested in voting secondly, the sit at home order is purely voluntary especially with the heavy security presence that would be provided that week third, men have paid bigger sacrifices in lives and properties lost, so sitting at home for two or three days shouldn't be an issue fourth, the sit at home only affects Friday and Monday ij Anambra state as Saturday is election proper meaning people would have sat at home by government order. Fifth, schools would be on mid term break by then so education wouldn't be affected. In summary, we have little to nothing to lose. After voting in the last presidential, we saw how it was rigged and further twarted in court by the sharia chief justice of the federation after a deserving southern chief justice was illegally removed, we saw what happened in Imo state governorship election when an election failure called Uzodimma was installed by the sharia chief justice. Any Nigerian looking forward to salvage this country through free and fair elections is living in self deceit. The Fulani have taken over the reins of national leadership and they're abusing it with impunity and reckless abandon without intention of ever loosing it again.

Politics / Buhari’s Govt Incompetent, Failed To Curb Corruption —the Economist by abouzaid: 6:51pm On Oct 23, 2021 |
…Says Nigerian Army sells weapons to insurgents London-based news magazine, The Economist, has described the government of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), as inept and high-handed, adding that he had also failed to tackle corruption. The 178-year-old magazine said this in an editorial titled, ‘The Crime Scene at the Heart of Africa,’ which was published in its October 23, 2021, issue. It said due to Buhari’s mismanagement of the economy, food prices had soared while life had become more difficult for Nigerians. The editorial read in part, “Economic troubles are compounded by a government that is inept and heavy-handed. Mr Buhari, who was elected in 2015, turned an oil shock into a recession by propping up the naira and barring many imports in the hope this would spur domestic production. “Instead he sent annual food inflation soaring above 20 per cent. He has failed to curb corruption, which breeds resentment. Many Nigerians are furious that they see so little benefit from the country’s billions of petrodollars, much of which their rulers have squandered or stolen.” The Economist stated that even before COVID-19 last year, Nigeria was already witnessing unprecedented poverty. The news magazine opined that this economic hardship was fuelling the current insecurity in the country. “Two factors help explain Nigeria’s increasing instability: a sick economy and a bumbling government. Slow growth and two recessions have made Nigerians poorer, on average, each year since oil prices fell in 2015. “Before COVID-19, 40 per cent of them were below Nigeria’s extremely low poverty line of about $1 a day. If Nigeria’s 36 states were stand-alone countries, more than one-third would be categorised by the World Bank as “low-income” (less than $1,045 a head). Poverty combined with stagnation tends to increase the risk of civil conflict,” it argued. The Economist gave the Nigerian Army a dressing down, describing the military organisation as only strong on paper. citizens in order to augment their salaries. The editorial further read, “When violence erupts, the government does nothing or crack heads almost indiscriminately. Nigeria’s Army is mighty on paper. But many of its soldiers are ‘ghosts’ who exist only on the payroll, and much of its equipment is stolen and sold to insurgents. The army is also stretched thin, having been deployed to all of Nigeria’s states. “The police are understaffed, demoralised and poorly trained. Many supplement their low pay by robbing the public they have sworn to protect.” It called on the Department of State Services to stop disobeying court orders and release all those being detained illegally. The Economist described as scandalous the refusal of the Nigerian government to arrest and prosecute any of the security operatives that killed protesters in Lagos last year. The news magazine said in order to stop the slide towards lawlessness, Nigeria’s government should make its own forces obey the law. The editorial further read, “Soldiers and police who murder or torture should be prosecuted. That no one has been held accountable for the slaughter of perhaps 15 peaceful demonstrators against police abuses in Lagos last year is a scandal. The secret police should stop ignoring court orders to release people who are being held illegally. This would not just be morally right, but also practical: young men who see or experience state brutality are more likely to join extremist groups.” The news magazine noted that Nigeria was home to one of the largest film industries in the world and had the most successful start-ups in sub-Saharan Africa. It argued that despite the great potential of the country, youths were beginning to emigrate in droves because of the sorry state of Nigeria. https://punchng.com/buharis-govt-incompetent-failed-to-curb-corruption-the-economist/?amp 2 Likes |

If a herdsman was killed in the community, soldiers and policemen would arrest anybody found in the community and burn their houses with the state governor's support. But since it's Fulani that did the killing now. Nothing must happen to them. The south are gradually been overrun by these vampires from Futa djallon highlands due to the willing complicity of our political class who're only out to satisfy their selfish aims while using our name. Look at governor Makinde that started his tenure so well is now a shadow of his very self by even lying to exonerate the Fulani from the murder of a German doctor returnee turned large scale farmer. 70 Likes 3 Shares |
