Not Yet Uhuru For Nigerian Bloggers As Google AdSense Pays in Western Union for 13 additional countries

The list is insulting to say the least… you too, check out the names of latest beneficiaries of Quick Cash through Western Union by Google Adsense: Cameroon, Senegal, Libya, Mauritius, Yemen, Georgia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

Remember that seven months ago, the same ‘generosity’ was first extended to four African countries: Algeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Alas! Nigeria is not financially or economically ripe for such mode of electronic transactions!

When you look through the list, you will see countries already tagged “Terrorist” like Yemen, you will see countries with political instability and ruled by a dictatorship or monarchy like Libya, Oman, Bahrain, etc. You will also see smaller countries than Nigeria without the comparable robust economy like Senegal, Kenya, Uganda, Ghana etc. and you are left wondering what was the strange yardstick or metrics used in determining beneficiaries by the Almighty GOOGLE AdSense.

The gleeful Google Adsense Blog announcement is no laughing matter for Nigerian bloggers as some of us have started to doubt the quality of the earnings coming and trickling down to our purses. We feel this is delibrate and exclusive policy to leave us in the financial doldrums, perhaps it is a discrimination that extends also to our AdSense income, not just Western Union payment method. Whatever it is, Nigerian webmasters and professional bloggers are not smiling with Google,

I saw this wicked rumour rearing its ugly head again from comments on Osun Defender http://www.osundefender.org/?p=6981&cpage=1#comment-7311 that President Yaradua is dead after being rushed home from Jeddah. St. Nicholas Hospital in Lagos was the place where he supposedly gave up the ghost. the breaking News was from one Titi Adesonye who called herslf a citizen journalist

Give this article https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-284550.0.html a try and give us your feedback if they are fake or genuine laptop sellers. they claim they sell brand new laptops for 15,000 Naira only

I saw this advert on facebook and later read it on the guy's website at http://brandnewlaptops..com/2009/05/with-n15000-only-you-can-get-brand-new.html

Has anybody here had any experience with this digital pedller? Or is it all a scam? I spoke with the fellow on his gsm number left on the website 08033727678, he seems shrouded in mystery and unconvincing, is this another scam to dupe Naijas.

Let's explore and let me have your informed opinions

It wazs laughter in court today when the next adjourned date on the retrial case of Osun Gubernatorial tussle between Aregbesola and Oyinlola, coincided with JUNE 12.

when one of the senior lawyers pointed the attention of the judges to the significance of that day, the panel chairman jokingly responded that the panel wld join the 'rally' after the day's proceedings,

Good to note the state of urgency coming from the judiciary,  Oyinlola was enjoying what Barak Obama would call ‘… a good movie that lasted about half an hour too long’. Time to get done with the maradona of Osun State.

More of the tribunal reports from OSUN DEFENDER  http://www.osundefender.org/?p=4760

CONGRATSSS IROKO!!!

RAUF AREGBESOLA WLD TRIUMPH TOO.

otokx:

i did not expect any thing good from this people

Nigerians as equity-loving people are expecting the judiciary would not be desecrated by their greed-loving and power-usurping 'leaders'.

@lucabrasi,

I don't believe that they would get away with it. the timings of God is different from man. The AC should explore and exhaust all judicial avenue. that man has a morbid fear and hatred of Rauf Aregbesola.

It was wise of him to stay off, so Oyinlola would not cook up another bomb blast scene for the opposition.

Labour has gone to sleep, what will wake it will soon wake it up in January 2009 when new fuel hike woulds be in place.

@Caruso:

truth buried would resurrect and rise again to swallow falsehood. Where is Justice Bassey Ikpeme of the babangida's ABN that nullified June 12 elections today?

The people would have the last laugh. This one is just a Pyhrric victory for Oyinlola. The 'honorable' judge had nothing to work or pronounce judgement on after denying the Forensic experts from exposing the fraud of mass thumb-printed ballots that gave PDP the fake victory.

God dey!

@Godalone:
Don't worry they have not won in the court of the people who voted, they only won in the court of corruptible judges.

Another report by the AIT says that The AC lawyer was conspicuously absent from today's proceedings of shame.

The official confirmation is out, what we all knew since last sunday publications by Newspapers and magazines that the Osun State Election Petition Tribunal Judstices have been compromised by the oyinlola government's lawyer.

At 1:52 pm today, The petition of the AC Rauf Aregbesola was dismissed in his entirety, and even Guardian and Punch newspapers were desdcribed by the Judge as unreliable and Oyinlola was given full victory

The AC lawyer and team walked out and refused to witness the show of judicial shame.

Wait a few more minutes from their counterparts in Osun for the festival of Judicial mockery,

the allegedly corrupt justice Thomas Naron is currently reading his long-winding but already known judgement, of course, in favor of the incumbent chief election rigger Oyinlola Olagunsoye. He has dismissed almost all the evidences of the Petitioner Rauf Aregbesola's witnesses on grounds of no weight. that is to pave way for his final conclusion to earn his pay.

this is easy for him having forbade the report of the scientific forensic evidence of mass-thumb-printing of ballot papers by the Oyinlola and his INEC surrogates.

He should complete the reading of the judicial mockery in an hour time i.e by 2pm thereabout.

sweet heavenly songs, great earth-shaking prayer time, and I was also privileged by the pastor to stand before God's people and teach them the secrets of 'blogging for Christ' as different from 'blogging for money'.

I am fulfilled to teach freely the revelational exploits of the web to God's children.

This is no longer news. Power emergency has become a toothless cliche by this regime. come to think of it, OBJ won the heart of Nigerians in his first year in power (May 2000), with the disappearance of fuel scarcity queues and a fair steady electricity supply.

Like I said in one article I wrote to celebrate American independence today http://gardenersdaughter..com/2008/07/happy-232nd-independence-anniversary-to.html What we need is KNOWLEDGE EMERGENCY to tackle our digital ignorance and poverty of leadership!!!

@Lakanye:

my pleasure. Grt meeting a patriotic Osun State indigene from the diaspora.

it is a shame that Ebino, my mentor of 1982 has become errand boy for ignoble fellows in the seat of government 26 years later!

who would have imagined that one of Papa Awo's most trusted personal aides could descend so fast into the morass of being Oyinlola's errand boy.

Awo will turn in his grave for this!

By Professor Sola Adeyeye
2 Alfred Rewane Close
Ora-Igbomina, Osun State

I very rarely take a disagreement with a friend to the pages of newspapers. Unfortunately, some friends occasionally push me to the point where silence ceases to be golden but rather becomes an unwitting collaboration with evil. It is thus, with considerable discomfort and sorrow that I must, for the first time in life, publicly disagree with my dearly beloved friend and brother, Chief Ebenezer Babatope (Ebino Topsy) who has now made it a routine to break my heart. Ebino Topsy and I go way back. We were political bedfellows. We both nursed big dreams for our country. We both recognized the internal and external factors that attenuated and hindered Nigeria’s advancement. And yes, we both shared palpable disgust against the wantonly parasitic and crassly reactionary cabals who perennially exercised pernicious stranglehold on the aorta and jugular vein of our polity. These parasitic interlopers and predatory marauders have pauperized our people and denigrated our land into a harrowing fragment of hell.

Decades ago, one would have easily assumed that Ebino Topsy and I would always inhabit the same wavelength of the Nigerian political spectrum. Even so, it is easy for me to concede the rights of anyone to a shift in ideological position. In any case, many of the rights encapsulated in the leftist sing-songs and mantra of our younger days have long been embraced as fundamental human rights in capitalist nations. As such, I pick no bones with Ebino Topsy for pitching his camp with those who, in the past, would have been the targets of his prolific pen. What worries me is that, far too often, my own Ebino Topsy has assumed the role of a laundry master, strenuously struggling to whitewash and then decorate certified vermin with a veneer of credibility. A man whose undeniable energy and intellect could have been summoned to lead a vanguard of resistance and liberation has become an unrelenting mouthpiece for those who have long demonstrated their immutable commitment to exploitative rule.

I am particularly saddened by Ebino Topsy’s current role because I cannot see how even he can believe himself. Take his attribution of Oyinlola’s putative victory over Aregbesola to the advantages inherently conferred on an Oyo-speaking politician over an Ijesa-speaking opponent. By that revisionist logic, we can now understand the “victory” of the NNDP in the election held on October 11, 1965 not in terms of rigging and sundry subversion of the genuine wishes of the electorate. Rather, it was the victory of a party led by an Oyo-speaking man (Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola) over the UPGA led by an Egba-speaking man (Alhaji Dauda Soroye Adegbenro)! Thanks to Ebino Topsy, we now understand why Bola Ige, an Ijesa-Speaking man, “lost” to an Oyo-speaking man (Dr Omololu Olunloyo) in 1983. Likewise, because the Ekitis far outnumber the Owos, we can now put FEDECO’s declaration of Akin Omoboriowo as the winner of Ondo State’s 1983 gubernatorial contest in the proper context of Ebino’s ethnocentric political kinetics. In the light of Ebino’s epiphany, perhaps we should discountenance subsequent spontaneous expression of outrage by the people and the eventual tribunal’s reversal of FEDECO’s brazen robbery as irrelevant footnotes of history!

Indeed, because of Ebino Topsy, we can now say that the protestations from the leaders, members and staff of the UPN were mere diversionary distractions. Never mind that among the loudest protestations were those of the UPN’s vibrant Director of Organization, a man named Ebenezer Babatope. Time really changes! Of course, we can also now put the Presidential election of June 12, 1993 in the proper context of Babatope’s ethno-linguistics. Humphrey Nwosu must have been drunk when he recently told the world that (Yoruba-speaking) Moshood Abiola prevailed over (Hausa-speaking) Tofa although more Nigerians speak Hausa than Yoruba. But perhaps, we should leave the ridiculous for the sublime.

It is true that, even in the most advanced countries, there are always ethnocentric undertones in electoral contests. Even so, it is no less true that whenever the elections are free and fair, Yoruba people have always given their mandate to those of liberal progressive bent. Yoruba people have never allowed themselves to be hoodwinked by those who seek to use sub-national ethnic sentiments to divide and conquer. Thus, Chief Bola Ige resoundingly trounced Chief Richard Osuolale Akinjide in every Ibadan constituency in 1979. It is instructive that Akinjide’s Oyo-speaking people more than quadrupled Ige’s Ijesa-speaking people in that election! Twenty years later, Bisi Akande became the Governor of Osun State not because of the numerical strength of his Igbomina kith and kin who constitute only two of the thirty local governments of Osun State. By contrast, a common factor of the 1964/65, 1983, 2003 and 2007 elections was that politicians who had lost in previous free and fair elections subsequently imported repressive apparatus of the Federal Government to undermine the electoral sovereignty of our people.

The truth, of course, is that Brigadier Oyinlola has the misfortune of supplanting Chief Bisi Akande, a man who was described by then President Obasanjo as Nigeria’s best governor. Even the worst detractors of Chief Bisi Akande can never deny that he brought uncommon fiscal discipline and superlative visionary zeal to governance. By contrast, Oyinlola’s ascension to the corridor of power in Osun State was accompanied by an eclipse of monumental magnitude. He ushered an umbra of darkness foreshadowed by his earlier records of brutalizing and dehumanizing the helpless in Somalia. Furthermore, under Bisi Akande, the State government did not meddle with Local Government funds. The Federal Ministry of Finance 1999-2003 report and the EFCC submission to the Senate singled out Bisi Akande for commendation in this regard (see Back page of Thisday, December 7, 2007). By contrast, under Oyinlola, Osun Local Governments now have their funds siphoned by the State Government. While Akande was Governor, members of the PDP had easy access to air their views on the state-owned radio and television stations of Osun State. Indeed, Akande recognized that these media houses belonged to the entire people of Osun rather than the ruling party. His eclecticism was showcased by the appointment of a PDP chieftain, Chief Yemi Farounbi, as the Chairman of the Management Board responsible for these stations. Doing what was demonstrably good for the people, Akande did not need to fear the searchlight of a free press. By contrast, from the very beginning of Oyinlola’s rule in Osun, Osun State Broadcasting Corporation has been subsumed to the capricious desires of the PDP. Voices of dissent are muzzled and the apparatuses of state are turned into wicked engines of intimidation and victimization.

Conceited by its agility atop a tree, a monkey often orchestrates its own downfall. For most of Osun people, regardless of which Yoruba dialect they speak, Oyinlola quickly became recognized as an ill wind that could blow no good. As Hubert Ogunde sang in the days of yore, our votes became our weapons of liberation. When the election came, Oyinlola could not win a single polling booth in Osogbo, the capital of a state he had ruled for four years! It is quite revealing and supremely instructive that Osogbo is not an Ijesa-speaking community.

One can go on ad infinitum to debunk other assertions touted by Ebino Topsy in his spirited effort to lend a cloak of acceptability to a man whose rule has blighted our people. No one knows better than Chief Babatope that Obafemi Awolowo, our sagely avatar, spent considerable energy decrying and opposing feudalistic politicking in Nigeria. Today, politics in Yoruba land has been reduced to an anything-goes, survivalist and feudalistic careerism. I gave my all in the struggle to terminate military hegemony in Nigeria. Eight years later, I was not even allowed to vote for myself because the ruling party had been instructed to make the 2007 election a do-or-die affair. I was chased for about 25 kilometers by a bus load of PDP hooligans despite being guarded by armed police escorts that had been assigned for my protection by former Inspector General of Police Sunday Ehindero. Does such a climate of wanton repression not constitute a crisis? Yet, Chief Babatope says it is the AC members who exaggerate the crisis in Osun! May the Lord have mercy.

@lakanye:

checkout www.osundefender.com it is a local or community paper that covers osun state political and cultural news.

@desgiezd:

you are very objective. let us wait and pray that thre would be no miscarriage of justice as oyinlola would have wished. he is so desperate he would demonize his opponent Rauf Aregbesola, as a terrorist bomber, in order to win sympathy of the public opinion.

he is a shame to leadership in osun governance for the past five years!!!

Its two years since I broke the news from Thisday Online version here in our glorious Nairaland, the foremost indigenous website in Nigeria.

The battle for the noble seat of Governor of Osun Sstate has gone through many dogged skirmishes. The new interesting angle to that story is that Rauf Aregbesola caught his opponent in the act of massive rigging of that election (video recording et al). He brought in international forensic experts to prove that Oyinlola's phyrric and polluted victory was predicated on massive thumb printing of ballot papers by a handlful of INEC officials' thumprints.

The seating governor got jittery, and got the tribunal manipulated to thow out the forensic attempts. This same forensic examination have proved to be table-turning in Edo State in favour of Adams Oshiomhole, and is awaiting similar outcome in Ondo for Mimiko, Fayemi in Ekiti.

Oyinlola cannot bear that kind of heart-attack situation, but  Rauf has gone to the Appeal court to overturn the fear-driven decision of the tribunal to chase the forensic experts away from Osun,

This is an heroic and protracted path to victory by Rauf Aregbesola, 

We pray for the triumph of truth over fraud and faslehood which Nigeria has been shackled with over 47 years of political independence.

this makes the most sense to me

yeah blacklion

abhosts:


But for now, Nigeria Issued cards are fairly accepted for low-priced virtual products and services, where no physical shipping is required.

you are correct abhosts, I dont have any problem with my debit cards transactions. We must note that because it is debit cards, there are far less risks, since the money is pre-paid. Naija go better in Jesus Name.

azorjiu:

My felicitations to the our honorable comrade Oshimole.
He will win in any appeal.
God bless nigeria!

It is difficult to imagine Osunmbor surviving his appeal. I agree.

Seun, pls merge the four threads on Adams Oshimole's victory in Edo State.

This Obama issue is quite an emotional one that I don't want to be caught in its web. that is why I suscribe to the fact that he was "caught in the middle of political crossfires" as elaborated in this site: http://thenewsofchange.com/index.php?topic=7.0
