manmustwac: If that Principal tried that nonsense here in England he would sacked immediately, have serious problems trying to looking for another job as a Principal and and this story would make the national headlines. He who is supposed to be a role model is not setting a good example to other students by behaving like an area boy. Just hope the girls people come back to the school and SERIOUSLY beat the hell out of him with a baseball bat.

LOL @ Baseball bat. By the way, the ugly trend is becoming uninteresting. I wish to ask why Christians in SE, SS, SW upon hearing Quranic recitation or saying some Islamic words become uncomfortable and think one is saying some kinds of incantation? I was chatting with a Christian friend who lives in Jos some days ago. During the chat, she exclaimed ALLAH! I said was that a mistake? She said no that she was used to it. She maintained that the word Allah meant God and nothing wrong in mentioning God in Arabic way. I said down the South and across the East, the situation is different. Something is definitely wrong with some folks in this part of the nation. A Christian mentioning Allah is like apostasy.

^^We have seen your comment. Now move!

can you expatiate frosbel

It seems these principals don't want to listen. Islam is a religion of tolerance and peace. This should not be taken for a ride.

WHEN WILL THIS STOP!!!
Asalaamualykum,
This is one of the latest developments. Just yesterday a girl by name
Kaothar Balogun of Atunrase high school,Ishaga road near LUTH in ss1 was publicly beaten up by her principle Mr Ogunwusi at a road linking to LUTH.
The girl was reported to have been slapped by the principal just because of wearing hijaab on the school uniform after school hours. The person's
daughter that it happened to happens to be someone close to the person I
know. They have already decided that they are going to the school and beat up the principal himself. My request is just that the unit should not relent in letting justice rain and retrieving our right.

why so much hidden comments? What's wrong here? Over to you MOD!

This reminds me of my University days. My colleagues organized a Ghana trip from Lagos State University. I was given a free ticket being a leader of a society then. I dashed out my ticket because I lost interest in the jamboree. When those that went came back, they arrived Lagos like refugees/fugitive from Sudan. They looked haggard, tattered and chattered. Some came back with broken heads, disjointed arms.

I inquired what happened along the way. I was told some thugs at Seme border stopped them and asked for money without any justification after heavily paying the govt agencies. This led to free for all as the thugs went for reinforcement. The LASU bus taken to Ghana was badly damaged. This made our students took up the fight at least to show the Nigerianess in them. Their arrival was horrible.

Gents! Our border is a show of how our country is.

Gbam! Sai Buhari. By the way I thought the topic asked only Buhari supporters to comment.

victokafor: Uncle Joe, wey the sword wey dem give u for Borno? Abeg return nam back oooo... Emphasize more on intelligence gathering...it really shows that we all are not safe again...

SWORD? Where na?

acidtalk: Nigeria needs a data bank for all its entire 170million citizens. Getting this boys is just a matter of few clicks away assuming we have a database that is functional for our entire citizens and immigrants.

The State and Federal Government should deploy soldiers around that vicinity.

You spoke my mind. That being said, the Ojo campus is choked already. Epe campus is complete was of resources with serene environment. There tend to be a commotion where you have too many people chocked in a particular place.

Oluwaseun Osewa

Nigeria

After a failed web hosting business, Oluwaseun Osewa looked for a new business avenue to try his technical hands at. It took two years before he stumbled upon the forum format, running a popular discussion spot around the Nigerian mobile GSM industry. It was here that Osewa noticed a need from Nigerians to discuss wider topics, so he set about creating Nairaland, which officially launched in 2005. Today it is Nigeria’s largest website, boasting over a million users.

Let us all congratulate the BIG BOSS!

[quote author=Find Out!]Sorry I had to quote the entire article, but I think attention should be paid to the bolded. Then can anyone quote an excerpt of the statements credited to the COHI/MSSN spokesperson where the LASG was ''warned'' or ''threatened'' ? Thanks.

The person who appended a title to the original piece whether muslim or xtian appears to be a ''product of a failed educational system'' (c) - Sagamite [/quote]"he group warned that reneging on the agreements may result to the disruption of the relative peace being enjoyed in the state at the moment." What is wrong with you?

Press Release:
Hijab crisis: COHI warns Lagos govt against reneging on agreements with MSSN
The Council of Higher Institutions (COHI), an arm of the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, (MSSN) Lagos State Area Unit, has advised the Lagos State Government not to renege on the agreement it reached with the society following last Thursday’s mass protest in Alausa against the victimisation of Muslim students using hijab in secondary schools by their principals.

The group warned that reneging on the agreements may result to the disruption of the relative peace being enjoyed in the state at the moment.

The Assistant General Secretary of the MSSN Lagos State Area Unit, Mr Sulaimon Dhikrillah, who addressed the press today at the society’s secretariat in Yaba on the hijab crisis, said the group was not out to fight the state government but to demand the recognition and protection of the rights of Muslims as guaranteed by the country’s constitution.

He said the state government had agreed to issue a circular to stop the school authorities and teachers from molesting Muslim girls over the use of hijab.
He added that the government representatives at the meeting on Thursday presented evidences that investigation had commenced in the case of Principal of Kadara Junior Grammar School, Ebute-Metta, who allegedly administer 43 strokes of cane on a JSS 1 student over hijab, and pledged to follow it to a logical conclusion.

Dhikrillah, however, accused state government of alleged sponsoring of those he described as ‘unknown elements’ who he said had been going on air to ‘possibly create confusion in the minds of the public regarding what we are fighting for.’

‘The Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN), Lagos State Area Unit is known for peace and we have always been peaceful in the manner we carry out our activities.
‘We are only demanding that our constitutionally guaranteed right should not be denied us. We will not resort to lawlessness but at the same time we will not relent until justice is done,’ he said.

Speaking on the case of Mrs Elizabeth Omidele, Principal, Mafoluku Senior Grammar School, Oshodi who allegedly removed hijab on an SSS 3 student, Bareerah Tajudeen, outside the school premises and also suspended her, Dhikrillah revealed that the principal had recalled Bareerah under a stringent condition.

‘The principal has coerced Bareera to signing an undertaken antithetical to this resolution more so she was made to serve punishment on the assembly for the same reason. It is our further request that the government should call the principal of Mafoluku to order in the spirit of justice,’ he said.

Concerning the demand that hijab should be part of uniform for Muslim students in Lagos State, Dhikrillah said the government representatives promised to table it before the State Executive Council meeting on March 3rd (Monday).

It would be recalled that members of the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, Lagos State Area Unit had on Thursday February 28, 2013, stormed the state governor office in Alausa in protest against victimisation of Muslim girls using hijab in state secondary schools by their principals. The protest lasted over eight hours before an agreement was reached.

The op is undoubtedly bias. Thank God some reasonable people have debunked his claims. OP I personally know the markets you mentioned. Did you visit Yaba recently? What about Tejuosho in Yaba?

ooman4: is this not enough answer for you?

THE QURAN SAYS THE EARTH IS ROTATING
Quran, 21:33
"It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the
moon: all (the celestial bodies) rotate (falak), each in their celestial
spheres." Yusaf Ali, M.H. Shakir
The Arabic word "falak" used for planets and planets' movements in
Verse 21:33 means rotation or movement. The Quran states that all
celestial bodies including the earth rotate.? Wrong? Is Quran discussing Carpentary there?

sageon: It may be a good start to have some database of fingerprints, eye and hair descriptions-and the nuances that make up any citizenship pool repository as demonstrated by even the smallest of East African nations. One venture- overtaken by unbridled corruption that defines almost every initiative- scaled to having a semblance of this, was the botched National ID project.

That project if it was completed would have put into works the definition of citizenship and human normative behavior, as it would have enabled recourse for forensics and other scientific legs of the police. It is with the absence of any surveillance infrastructure, a loose definition of the Nigerian, imaginary borders and the regular embarrassment that comes with the passport at our local terminus- by your own, that the prayers for crime management would remain at best wishes-or concede to an ushering of the rule of the jungle. If the ID project could just set sail, then the question of matching vehicular history and background verification would assume easy relevance and prove long time effectiveness.

Despite all these, any hopes for a responsible, accountable and humane polity can only emerge when the understanding of rewards and sanctions, a fair share of opportunities or inclusions, is reinvented both for community and country. This is where leadership-at all levels-family or institutional, must take ownership and responsibility.

God bless you

Reelsteel: This is what i have been crying for, Nigeria is an institution with no records.
If we want to fight corruption, crime, and insecurity, every living soul in this country has to be properly identified by a national I.D and number created on a database.
The I.D will be used to access your personal data on a database which includes, Date of Birth, Sex, Eye color, hair color, Dna sample,finger prints, family background and address. Information can only be added to a file on such database but not deleted or modified.
I dont know if this is can be obtainable in this generation but if implemented now and such I.D is created for every new born baby from this year then its a step in the right direction

You got it all right. You expressed my mind. I am happy someone thinks in the same direction with me. I wish this could be implemented.

ooman4: Because it does not contain any deep revelation of the universe. Its more or less same thing with the bible. The bible even beats it by a well arranged creation account which is why i spend my time debunking the bible and never quran. Besides, the quran is not a cosmology textbook, so you can't say it got its cosmology right because then, you have destroyed the integrity of the book.

Have you even asked yourself why atheists neglected muslims? Its because you people and your quran is damaged beyond repair. we have therefore left you in the dust being.

As an atheist, i only feel threatened by biblical creation, i dont feel threatened by quran's explanation, except where it says that you must kill all non muslims and when you cannot kill them, you must support those who do with your heart.

According to Al-Baqarah V190, especially the footnote under it, Muslims are obligated to kill, and must take part in Jihad, Jihad being of ultimate importance in Islam, with full numbers and weaponry. Anyone who doesn’t dies as a hypocrite. According to the second footnote, Jihad is the third best deed advice by Muhammad. According to surah 9v36, Jihad should be fought on the 1st, 7th, 11th and 12th months.

isnt that one of the months that you people carried out 9/11 attack on USA? isnt that the time that you boko harams hurt Nigeria most?

Shouldn't you be in Al-Qaeda right now, learning how to be a terrorist? or are you an internet terrorist? or maybe you are already a certified terrorist!

You missed it again. Can you answer the question above. Please dont derail the thread. thanks

Let us start from establishing a national database that will have server across the states and local government. Let us start from there. The current situation of Nigeria is like a University that doesnt have students' academic record neither does it give matric no (National ID).

Thanks...Abuhanifa

i will check and give u the feedback

ooman4: Hey, you don't want to indulge me. I have read the quran and I know what it says. Its cosmology is nothing but simple observation by eastern people. Its biology is also a debacle. So just shut up and go to the islam section, I cant get blown up by you.

what is the proof that it is simple observation of eastern people? Name the people, any evidence?

ooman, in the piece above, it is clearly stated that Quran is absolutely right on the issue of cosmology. Did you just wish to discredit Quran? Please include Frosbel and Jo in your invitation ;Dooman, in the piece above, it is clearly stated that Quran is absolutely right on the issue of cosmology. Did you just wish to discredit Quran?

Lol. Come to think of it, did Ngige do it deliberately?

Controversial Senator representing Anambra Central, Dr. Chris Ngige, has come under fire for allegedly coveting the wife of Mr. Peter Obi, the man who defeated him in the epic political battle for the governorship of Anambra State, South-East Nigeria.

The diminutive Ngige was accused of ‘crossing the boundary’ when he “forcefully took over the seat meant for Governor Peter Obi beside Gov Obi’s wife” at a church funeral service on Friday.

In an article entitled “Sinator Ngige Crosses the Boundary,” prolific Anambra writer Mazi Odera castigated Ngige, saying: “At All Saints Anglican Church, Irefi, Oraifite, Anambra, during the burial service for the late Dame Irene, Nneka Mmachukwu, Okwuosa, the mother of Azuka Okwuosa, Dr. Chris Ngige forcefully took over the seat meant for Governor Peter Obi beside Gov Obi’s wife.”

The article published on several online communities was accompanied with a photograph (reproduced here) that had as caption: “Look at the picture. Her Excellency was thoroughly embarrassed, while Ngige looked defiant.”

The article spoke of how Mrs. Obi’s security details attempted to stop Ngige but the governor’s wife, not wanting to create a scene, prevented them from doing so. It said that the senator justified his action by claiming that one man does not marry a woman in Igboland.

According to Odera: “We understood that Dr. Ngige abandoned his wife in Maryland USA for reasons best known to him, but for him to openly defy shame, for him to show this childish lust, for him to be this desperate to take over the wife of a sitting Governor . . . it is more than shameful and absurd.
“As security people attached to Obi’s wife tried to stop him, the woman, as humble and well-mannered as her husband, restrained them. Maybe she must have noticed that the man had no shame and may even want to wrestle the woman if she dare get angry, she showed class and maturity.
“The ever witty Ngige, not to be beaten in his own game, said: ‘It is not ordained that her husband must seat by her side, after all, in Igbo land, ofu onye anaghi anu Nwanyi.’ Though everybody was angry at Ngige’s lack of manners and respect, but what he said provided the much-needed comic relief in an environment charged by Ngige’s indiscretion.”

“The question,” according to the writer, is: “If he must lust after married women, must it be after the wife of a sitting governor of a state he desperately wanted to govern?”

When Oby Ezekwesili, former Education Minister and World Bank Vice President for Africa, made her allegation accusing the administrations of Umaru Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan of squandering $45 billion in foreign reserves and $22 billion from the Excess Crude Account (ECA) left behind by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, my instant reaction was to dismiss it. I told anyone who cared to listen that Ezekwesili was wrong and was uncertain of her facts when she made the statement during the University of Nigeria, Nsukka convocation lecture last month.


I knew for a fact that even after Obasanjo left office, foreign reserves accretion continued and peaked at almost $63 billion in September 2008. It was only after the global economy went into a tailspin, oil prices crashed from a peak of $147 per barrel attained in July 2008, the US government allowed Wall Street investment bank Lehman Brothers to fail two months later, and foreign investors exited the Nigerian equities market in droves during the same period, that the country’s foreign reserves took a beating.


I recall with absolute clarity how from September 2008 – well over a year after Obasanjo had stepped down – the Central Bank of Nigeria led by Professor Chukwuma Soludo fought valiantly to defend the naira from speculative attacks. Despite the central bank’s best efforts, the naira plunged against the US dollar from N118 to N180 in a space of months. Had Nigeria not had sufficient reserves to meet its foreign obligations, the naira would most likely have been devalued to N250 or more to the US dollar.


I was also certain that funds were drawn down from the ECA to meet our mounting fuel subsidy obligations; for the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPP) started by the Obasanjo administration, which were initially suspended but later continued by the late President Yar’Adua after he had obtained the consent of the 36 states of the federation to continue withdrawals from the ECA for the power projects; and by the three three tiers of government which were reeling from the aftershock of the global financial meltdown; as oil revenue, which accounts for about 80 percent of total federal revenue, had declined. Two factors were to blame for this: Lower oil prices and declining oil production as a result of rising militancy in the Niger Delta at the time. So how did Ezekwesili get her facts all muddled up, I wondered.


Expectedly, the Jonathan administration came out on the offensive. Starting with Labaran Maku, the Information Minister and later Doyin Okupe, the president’s Senior Special Assistant, Media, the government attacked Ezekwesili, dismissed her offer to a debate on the issue, and published advertorials in several newspapers with facts and figures to drive home their point. It was the advertorials that actually gingered my interest.


The figures published by Okupe from January 2007 to January 2013, as provided by the central bank, showed that the country’s foreign reserves by May ending 2007 when Obasanjo stepped down was $43.130 billion. In the same advertorial, an explanatory note signed by CBN’s Deputy Governor Financial System Stability, Dr. Kingsley Moghalu, showed that Nigeria’s external reserves are jointly owned by the federal government, CBN and the federation. The federal government’s portion consists of funds belonging to the federal government and its agencies such as the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) for the joint venture cash calls, and the Ministries of Defence and Power, among others. The CBN portion, which is the largest, consists of foreign currency purchased (monetised) by the central bank from the government and oil companies, among other autonomous sources. The federation portion of the reserves consists of the excess crude funds yet to be monetised and belongs to the three tiers of government.


The tables in the advert further gave the breakdown of gross reserves by May ending 2007. The $43.130 billion was made up of FGN reserves of $2.18 billion, CBN reserves of $31.52 billion, and federation reserves (ECA) of $9.43 billion. When I saw the figures purportedly provided by the central bank, I did a double take. There was something amiss. They could not be correct, I said to myself.
I even called Okupe three times and argued furiously that he had published the wrong figures, insisting that the amount credited to the ECA as at May 2007 was incorrect. I told him he had mixed up the external reserves position with that of the ECA and the difference between $43.130 billion (as provided by CBN) and $45 (as espoused by Ezekwisili) was insignificant to have prompted a response from the federal government.


I kept insisting that the ECA was distinct from our external reserves and what was left in the account when Obasanjo vacated office was well over $20 billion, not $9.43 billion. In my conversations with him, I even went as far as calling the central bank dishonest the disingenuous for trying to deceive the public. On my urging, he reverted to the central bank, but came back adamant after each phone call insisting that the figures the CBN had provided were correct.


Given the confusion arising from the May 2007 figures, I studied those provided for subsequent months up till January 2013 (especially the ECA figures) and did some research on the CBN website to compare the data provided therein with those published by Okupe. Historical quarterly and annual reports from 2007 to 2012 on the CBN website showed that what Okupe had published was in tandem with the central bank’s data.


I then proceeded to google as many old stories as possible that had been published from 2006 to date on the ECA. It was the stories that confirmed my worst suspicion: The figures on the ECA that the federal government had regularly made available to the public through Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, starting from her first stint as Minister of Finance, were significantly different from the central bank figures. I wasn’t going to give this matter a rest.


Stories in 2012 also credited to Okonjo-Iweala or her minister of state Dr. Yerima Ngama on the ECA also showed that the figures her ministry churned were at variance with CBN’s data. For instance, by June 2012, the finance ministry said the ECA stood at $5.8 billion; July - $6.9 billion; August - $7.9 billion (after the three tiers of government had withdrawn $1 billion); September - $8.027 billion; October - $8.4 billion; December - $9.6 billion but went down to $9.242 billion in January 2013 after the three tiers has shared $1 billion from the account. On other hand, the CBN showed that the ECA stood at $6.564 billion in June; $8.464 billion in July; $9.602 billion in August; $9.273 billion in September; $9.603 billion in October; and $11.462 billion in December.


Seeing the glaring conflict as well as the dawning realisation that my initial dismissal of Ezekwesili’s statement was knee-jerk, prompted me to make some discreet enquiries from the central bank to ascertain who was telling the truth. Having spoken to CBN officials, past and present, they confirmed that they could only provide data on the amount available in the ECA domiciled with the central bank in any given month. They acknowledged the differences between their figures on the ECA and those of the finance ministry, stating that only the minister and Accountant General of the Federation can give the true picture on the account. Most significantly, one CBN official drew my attention to the fact that since the furore over the $67 billion started, there had been an eerie silence from Okonjo-Iweala, who was central to the entire ECA saga.


This, in my estimation, was the trump card Ezekwesili was holding over the federal government. Should the government ever take her up on her invitation to a debate, some rather uncomfortable questions would need to be answered on the true status of the ECA. How much exactly did Nigeria have in this all-important account before and after Obasanjo left office and how much is in the account today?
Another significant discovery from my research on Nigeria’s external reserves and ECA was the rate of accretion that somehow could not be justified. Information from the International Energy Agency (IEA) showed that average Brent crude spot prices for the years 1999 to 2007 stood at $17.9 per barrel (1999), $28.66 per barrel (2000), $24.46 per barrel (2001), $24.99 per barrel (2002); $28.85 per barrel (2003); $38.26 per barrel (2004); $54.57 (2005); $65.16 per barrel (2006); and $72.44 per barrel (2007). Yet the rate of accretion for both the external reserves and ECA was much higher during this eight-year period.


From 2008 to 2012, on the other hand, when the average price of Brent crude stood at $96.94 per barrel (2008); $61.74 (2009 – when oil dovetailed to $35 per barrel); $79.61 per barrel (2010); $111.26 (2011); and 110.00 (2012), respective growth and savings of external reserves and the ECA, have been significantly slower.


To be fair, managers of the economy could argue that oil earnings were impacted between 2008 and 2010 due to the drop in Nigeria’s crude oil production arising from militancy in the oil producing areas, as well as the global economic downturn. However, what could they possibly use as their defence for the years 2011 and 2012 when production was restored to normalcy and crude oil consistently sold at over $100 per barrel? Using crude oil theft as the perfect excuse would certainly sound hollow, as this criminal activity predates 2007.


The lesson I picked up from this whole saga was that Nigeria still has a long way to go in accounting efficiently and with precision for her crude oil revenue. It is not just NNPC, the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) and international oil companies (IOCs) that are incapable of rendering a proper account of how much oil the country produces and exports. The same challenge presents itself in the finance ministry and central bank, which cannot agree on how much Nigeria earns and how much is saved from crude oil sales. Is it any wonder that there is so much corruption and leakage in the system?
