Beaf,

No mind the hypocrits. They steal and deny that they are rogues. That is what pisses some of us. When Obasanjo refused to give Lagos its allocation some years back, what happened? Did not Tinubu cry like a rain-drenched rat begging for Lagos' allocation?

Yes, Port and all that. But Lagos still collects the third/fourth biggest monthly allocation from the FGN. All that comes from oil money. Did Fashola also build the port in Lagos? Who own the industries in Lagos? Yoruba?

EDO/YORUBA:
@ Afaukwu. Bros wat is all this your tribalism all about?, Its people like you that are ruining this our great nation. what is typical  yoruba man, what is typical igbo man or hausa.   Listen give credit where credit is due.  The man is doin a great job for Lagos state AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IS DISCIPLINED AND VERY DEDICATED TO HIS JOB.
  So listen it isnt about being igbo ,yoruba or hausa. Its about who can do the job and who has the desire and dedication.


Rgds

I simply said that Fashola cannot rule Nigeria (with reasons) and all hell was let loose by Yoruba irredentists. They only met their match in me. I do not do tribe, but when you push your luck too far, I help tell you your story.

So Lagos now does not get oil money again? Abi? Yoruba peps! Eat and deny is your hallmark

There is change in the respective SE states, in their various ways. I bet you have not travelled out of Yorubaland. Local Champion. Hike a ride to see.

Change has come to Lagos? What about all those horrible photos of Lagos we see even here on Nairaland? Those are not part of Lagos? Plus, why do you equate Lagos to South East? What of other Yoruba states (5 whole others)? Are they changing too? Shame! Ewu Lagos

Lagos depends largely on oil money from the east, ND and Ondo. Remove oil Lagos is finished

Typical Yoruba. Behaves as though he hates money but give him one little political position, he embezzles all the money allocated to him to work. Hypocrit

In rapid succession, three illegal detention camps operated by Muslim scholars, where inmates are subjected to inhuman treatment, are discovered in Ibadan

By Gbenro Adesina/Ibadan
• Imoniyi: Detained and raped inmates.

Musilat Bashiru, 20, a resident of Ilugun area of Ibadan, was unsure of what fate had in stock for her when, against her will, her mother, Adijat, handed her over to Alhaji Abdulganiyu Imoniyi, a Muslim cleric who operated an illegal detention centre at Ile-Tuntun Odinjo, in the Sango area of Ibadan. Adijat had requested Alhaji Imoniyi to school Musilat in the ways of Islam. Instead, however, Musilat was subjected to various forms of inhuman treatment. According to Musilat, she was raped repeatedly for four years she was in the camp, and her pubic hair constantly shaved to make charms. She also lamented that she bore a child for the Muslim cleric.

Narrating her ordeal to people after she was released from the camp by policemen, a despondent Musilat said that whenever Imoniyi wanted to have sex, he would just come in to where the inmates were and order any lady he wanted to come out and have a bath. When the lady came out, he would instruct her to lie down naked and forcefully have sex with her.

“I always refused but he would keep beating me to the extent that I would get tired and he would start having sex with me. He would do it as if he was sleeping with an animal. It was usually painful. At times, he would sleep with me for about two hours,” Musilat said.

Another victim, Bose Ogunjimi, 23, said during her two-year stay in the camp, she was forced to have sex with the cleric and his workers, adding that any of them had sex with her whenever they wanted to, as there was nobody she could complain to. She also could not run away as her legs, neck and hands were chained.

In her own case, Risikat Ojediran was in the camp for six years before being rescued by the policemen. A pretty 25-year-old lady, she said her captors, both Imoyi and his aides, raped her at will.
• The detainees.

Her words: “ There was a day that early in the morning, Alfa slept with me three times. About 12 noon, another person came and forcefully took me outside and slept with me. Not more than two hours later, the third person came and slept with me. I almost died. They are very wicked.”

Interestingly, all the ladies, who said they no longer menstruated for the period of their incarceration, resumed the cycle the day they were paraded before the public. Some of them were heard begging the policemen to give them tissue paper to stem the flow of blood from them.

It was, however, not just a female affair, as about 15 men narrated their own horrible experiences. One of them was Nurudeen Olawoyin, who disclosed that the inmates were made to live without food and water for several days, adding that they were further subjected to various forms of torture. Nurudeen, a 400 level student of Business Administration at the Yaba Tech College of Technology, YABATEC, claimed inmates were made to eat excreta mixed with herbs. Amazingly, all the inmates were taken to the centre by their parents, except one identified as Segun, who was allegedly abducted. The eventual exposure of the camp was the result of a petition dated 5 February 2008, written by Nurudeen Olawoyin of 66B/779H Owode Academy, captioned: “Save my soul from the hands of 419 woman, one Alhaja Murili Ayorinde and others now at large.”

According to Olawoyin, he was duped of N380,000:00 by Alhaja Murili of Testing Ground, Iwo Road, Ibadan, since 2003 under the pretence that she would procure for him visas to Dubai and Saudi Arabia. However, after being duped, the duo hatched a plan with Alfa Imoniyi who took him to his house where he was charmed, locked up and serially tortured for almost three years, with all his property seized.

Eventually, acting on the petition, detectives stormed the camp, where they arrested Alfa Imoniyi, Oyeniyi and others, while 30 victims were liberated from captivity. Although the adult captives have been released, nine underage inmates have been taken to welfare homes, while their parents and the suspected captors are still being detained at Iyaganku Police Station, pending being charged to court.
• Parents of the victims.

Barely a week after the Sango experience, another illegal detention camp situated at Oojo area of Ibadan, in Akinyele Local Government Area, was discovered. Here, it was alleged, the dead bodies of inmates were fed to the survivors by the operators. The magazine gathered that 92 captives, including a mobile policeman who has allegedly spent two years, were rescued while nine people suspected to be operators of the camp are currently in the police net awaiting prosecution. Addressing newsmen, the Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Assistant Inspector-General Udom Ekpoudom, said the grievous inhuman treatment of many of the captives usually resulted in multiple death, adding that the testimony of some of the rescued captives showed that they were administered with concoctions made from water with which dead inmates were washed.

“Grievous inhuman treatment and torture usually resulted in multiple death of the inmates who were subsequently buried without any report from the police. The hostages in unison confessed that bodies of deceased inmates were usually eaten by their captors.”

Ekpoudom disclosed that a majority of the captives “were shrunk to skeletal frame, with severe burns and rashes”.

Parading the nine suspected operators of the illegal camp, which include Muhammed Olore, Dauda Afanda and Muhammed Adeyemi, the AIG said the police had discovered that six of the hostages who were females were allegedly subjected “to series of sexual acts against their wishes” while “illegal abortions were carried out on the pregnant inmates in the camp”.

He stressed that the state police command was informed of the existence of the camp by a victim who said he was abducted by some unknown men who claimed to be policemen on 5 February when he was about to open his shop located at Oojo.

The informant said he was immediately taken to the camp where he met several people in chains, and was locked up in a room for days until he miraculously escaped and headed for the Oyo State Police Command headquarters to alert the police of the existence of the camp.

The police commissioner gave items recovered from the operators of the illegal camp as three cars, including a Volvo 744, three spades, two hoes, one digger, some spiritual soap, herbs, and plastic containers with reddish water drained from the washing of dead bodies.

Some of the rescued inmates who spoke with journalists at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad office, Dugbe, claimed they were kidnapped by unidentified men only to find themselves at the illegal camp. One of the inmates who was confirmed as a mobile policemen by his colleagues at the parade ground, said he was kidnapped two years ago while he was serving at a police station in Ogbomoso. Another captive who said he was tricked to the camp from Yola, simply identified himself as Mohammed, a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Yola who had spent almost a year in the camp.

Yet another captive said he was an undergraduate of the University of Ibadan until he was tricked to a place where he was kidnapped by some men and subsequently found himself at the illegal detention camp.However, the head of the camp, Mohammed Olore, told journalists that he was not operating an illegal detention centre but was only taking care of people addicted to hard drugs as well as those having mental problems. He insisted that none of the captives were kidnapped and taken to the camp as claimed by most of them.

As if it was a season of discovery of illegal detention camps, a third centre was detected at the Orogun area of Ibadan where Quoranic education was being taught. It was owned by one Alfa Ali Adebowale who has been arrested for torturing one of his students to death.

According to Oladimeji David of Elewi-Odo area of Ibadan, Adebowale killed his (Oladimeji’s) brother who was handed over to him this month. His petition read: “ My younger brother, Biliaminu Bashiru, 20 years, was handed over to Alfa Adebowale on February 1 2008 in a very healthy condition for Quoranic education. On 13 February 2008 at about 9am, I was informed that my brother had died. I was reliably told that my brother was tortured to death by Alfa Adebowale and his cohorts.”

The body of the deceased has been deposited at General Hospital, Adeoyo, Ibadan.

Meanwhile, a police source said illegal detention camps in Ibadan cannot be less than 30. He added that the police authorities were working assiduously to detect other illegal camps.

Afaukwu,answer me this. . Did Orju kalu not kill Dr Chima Nwafor? Do they not use okija Shrine to annihilate political foes in the east? Why do all prospective office holders have to go and swear at Okija? Is it not true that when they die their body has to remain at the shrine forever where it is exploited to give wealth to others?

Does Orji kalu not have sex with his mother as a frequent ritual requested by okija chief priest? Why all these desperation in the east?

Yoruba's can be desperate but easterners are ready to die to defend office. .it's a shame. If we have an igbo man as president our emmission levels would be ridiculously high because of you people's penchant for doing businesses without standards, .Business by force. . do or die politics

Sure, Kalu may have killed Nwafor (unsubstantiated). Please name another of such incidence and compare it with the more than twenty political deaths recorded in Yorubaland inrecent times. Okija shrine? What about Gbenga Daniel and his own shrine in Ogun? Is that different than Okija? Orji Kalu sleeping with his mother is unsubstantiated rumour; such is not in Igbo culture, but Obasanjo slept with his daughter inlaw? It is in Yoruba that you have the baddest guys in Nigeria, but I must commend you guys for hiding your shame near succesfully. Obasanjo's regime exposed you for what you are: rogues

Davidif. Nada. I am doing much better than you can ever do. You may never earn half of my earning per month, plus the job satisfaction I get. Hate? No. I just feel I should tell you guys your story which you have been hiding under the carpet all these years

sjeezy8:
YOU GUYS WONT DIE FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN NOT EVEN AZIKWE OR OJUKWU
Yorubas sacrifice their lives all the time even our women. You can never see igbo women protest against anything

As ignorant as they come. Ever heard of Enugu coal mine riots? Or of the Aba women's riots? Our men and women have have been there before you even against Oyibo rule, but we did not kill ourselves like you guys do. No wonder all those internecine Yoruba/kiriji wars that we read in history 101. You guys did not like yourselves from the beginning; hence the tribal marks to differentiate each other so you can kill the other. Talking about women, your folks do not behave like women should. Many of them are as corrupt as their male counterparts.

Of course there are corrupt elements from everywhere. Only a fool will think otherwise. But you guys are very, very corrupt and top the chart. Stealing, stealing everywhere you go

Answer the questions and stop blabbing. Why do you guys kill yourselves for political reasons? Despite all the noise about Ngige/Uba, did you hear any of them kill each other? Again why are you guys so financially corrupt? Why do you steal so much from the national treasury? Bode George alone stole 100 billion from the NPA (a national asset)

sjeezy8:
SO WHAT IS YOUR POINT

The point is that you guys are so disunited that you kill each other for political gains. Hypocrits and pretenders.

An Igbo will vote for any Nigerian, regardless of their tribe. The records are there for all to see. The same cannot be said of Yoruba. Political tribalists

More politicians have been killed in Yorubaland than elsewhere. This is a fact.

Ijaws or other southerners can rule now; no problem with that at all; we are brothers. But Igbo must rule before another Yoruba. Go and save this very statement in the Bank. No Yoruba for now. Let us recover from the mess they created before they come and create a new mess.

Even in corruption, Yorubas are disunited. I remember the ''you are more corrupt than me'' drama between Fani Kayode and Prof Borishade in the court recently when EFCC charged them for corruption. The same Fani has been endorsed by the Oni of Ife to be the next governor of Osun. It was also only in Yorubland that women had to bare their sagging breasts because of political differences (Ekiti). Yoruba began the political war in Nigeria. Wetie of wild wild west is still fresh. Ekiti rigging nko? Look at VERY BLACK pots calling kettle black. Born hypocrits. Did Abiola's own younger brother not sell him to the hausas?

slowpoke, Igbos have had far more national exposure than Yoruba since independence. Make a list and see for yourself. Obasanjo brought you guys out from your tribal cocoons only just recently. He should be the new Yoruba leader for showing you guys how to play national politics

Who is the good leader in SW? Fashola? It takes more than Lagos gov to rule Nigeria. Moreover he has broken the constitution at least twice
1: deporting fellow Nigerians
2. creating LGA against the letters of the constitution.
I doubt if Fashola is performing better than Obi or even Ohakim. It is a matter of press coverage and the fact that Lagos is already much more developed (being the former federal capital) way before Fashola got in, so it takes just a little effort to get things going. Fashola cannot perform elsewhere, for instance in rustic states like Osun or Ekiti.
Let's see who will vote for him except Yoruba; and of course we know Yoruba votes are only for Yorubas (masters of political tribalism). They voted for their man in 1999 (Falae) and he failed woefully just like Awo; history will soon repeat itself. Yoruba vote for Yoruba is politically meaningless

Yoruba=hausa/fulani=greed for power

Do Yoruba love and trust themselves? Go ask Abiola, Diya, Shonekan and Obasanjo (June 12). Ask Awo and Akintola. Ask Oni and Fayose; ask Agagu and Mimiko; ask Akala and Ladoja. Then go ask Fashola who deported fellow Yoruba from parts of Yorubaland. Hypocrits.

Yoruba will have to wait until others rule too. They had their turn between 1999 and 2007 and all we got were mismanagement and looting of the highest order. Plus, Fashola worsened the situation by antagonizing others through this deportation of fellow Nigerians. Let him finish with Lagos and go home to rest. No Yoruba presidency for now, except they are indicating that they are also greedy for power like their hausa/fulani brothers.

everyone should vote him for president

Nada. He lost it by deporting fellow Nigerians. I thought you guys say he is not interested in the presidency and that you people dont care if he does not rule? Hypocrits of the first order

Wacky ji = baby. Please go back and suckle on your sirer's mammaries; when you grow up in argumentation skills, you can then come back.

NEMA issues alert on looming cholera epidemic in northern States
Health Aug 24, 2009

By Sola Ogundipe
FOLLOWING reports about a suspected outbreak of cholera in some parts of the north, all States in the affected region may have been put on alert by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).

The Agency said it was mobilising Federal and State Ministries of Health across the Federation towards providing emergency medical assistance to communities affected by the reported outbreak of the epidemic as a way of avoiding its spread to neighboring States.

Cholera, filth and the environment. Above is a classic model for breeding epidemic disorders such as cholera in the environment. There are fears that a cholera epidemic could be in the offing following outbreak of the disease in some northern States and an alert by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).

Cholera, filth and the environment. Above is a classic model for breeding epidemic disorders such as cholera in the environment. There are fears that a cholera epidemic could be in the offing following outbreak of the disease in some northern States and an alert by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).
It also called on state governments, especially in the Northern part of the country, to take proactive measures to stem the spread of the disease which has reportedly claimed some lives in Adamawa State.

The Agency’s Head of Press and Public Relations, Yushau Shuaib, disclosed in a release that the mobilisation is sequel to a directive by the Director General of NEMA, AVM Mohammed Audu-Bida (rtd) following reports of cholera fatalities from the disease from the North-East Coordinator of NEMA, Mr. Aliyu Sambo in his office.

However, a Federal Ministry of Health source in Abuja told Good Health Weekly that there was yet to be confirmation that the suspected outbreak of ill health was cholera. “We have a strong suspicion it was an outbreak of gastroenteritis. Health officials from the Federal and State Ministries have stepped in and the situation is under control, but we are watching developments,” noted the source.

But Audu-Bida was quoted as saying State governments, especially in the Northern part of the country, needed to adopt sensitive surveillance and prompt reporting of any case to relevant institution to contain the spread of the disease, particularly during the month of Ramadan.

Other parts of the country are not immune from the threat of the epidemic, especially during the rainy period as the disease exists annually as a seasonal epidemic in some countries mostly during rainy seasons.

He said it is important for all States to be on alert and embark on the disease surveillance for early detection and response. In doing this, necessary medical facilities should be mobilised and readied for deployment on short notice. Public enlightenment on the threat of the epidemic and, indeed other diseases should also be carried out at the grassroots with special focus on the prevention, identification and response.

NEMA Zonal Coordinator North-East, Mr. Aliyu Sambo was quoted as saying casualities were recorded in Maiha, Fufore and Demsa Local Government Councils of Adamawa State. But the spread was being contained at the time of this report, with NEMA mounting surveillance in neighboring states.

“Cholera is infectious disease that affects the digestive system and causes abnormal watery visits to the toilet and vomiting. It is a contagious disease that is usually spread through unhealthy environment with the causal organism easily transported from one infected person to another. “

The epidemic is preventable through cleanliness when environments are properly kept and food hygienically prepared and taken. But under the present circumstance, affected communities are strongly advised to report any suspected cases of the disease condition for early diagnosis and treatment as health officials have been mobilized for that purposes.

Cholera is infectious gastroenteritis caused by enterotoxin – producing strains of the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. Transmission to humans occurs through eating food or drinking water contaminated with vibrio cholerae from other cholera patients.

Major reservoir for cholera was long assumed to be humans themselves, but considerable evidence exists that aquatic environment can serve as reservoirs of the bacteria. In its most severe forms, cholera is one of the most rapidly fatal illnesses known and infected patients may die within three hours if medical treatment is not provided. In a common scenario, the disease progresses from the first liquid stool to shock in four to 12 hours, with death following in 18 hours to several days, unless oral rehydration therapy is provided.

rethink:
I reject it in Jesus name. Nigeria will see a day of progress Dead or alive

Childish hope. Keep dreaming. Heaven helps does who help themselves; Nigeria is not helping herself.

Banking sector reform not Northern agenda – Presidency
From LUCKY NWANKWERE, Abuja
Tuesday, August 25, 2009
More Stories on This Section

The Presidency has said the new reform being undertaken in the banking sector by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) should not be misconstrued as Northern agenda, urging Nigerians to discountenance any such insinuation.

Presidential spokesman, Olusegun Adeniyi told newsmen in Abuja on Monday that the authorities were not unaware of such an erroneous impression, pointing out that neither the president nor the government was perturbed about it.

He said President Umaru Yar’Adua was convinced that the present reform was the right course of action aimed at averting what could have become a national catastrophe in the financial sector and not targeted at weakening the existing stronghold of the Southern part of the country on the economy as being insinuated in some quarters.
Like Prof. Chukwuma Soludo’s consolidation was clearly misunderstood by people, he said the Presidency was not unaware of a possible shock and hiccups, which the present initiated by the CBN under Mr. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi might trigger in some quarters.

“I am aware there will be a few initial shocks and hiccups with Sanusi’s reform like it happened during Soludo’s consolidation exercise and that those affected will fight back and we are talking of very powerful vested interests here.  But the president is convinced it is the right course of action by the CBN to avert what could turn out to be a national catastrophe in the financial sector and that is why Sanusi has his unwavering support,” he stated.

He argued that the CBN would not have pumped over N420 billion to bail out the five banks whose management teams were sacked from collapse if the action was targeted at undoing the Southern part of the country through the promotion of a northern agenda.
“When people don’t want to address the real issues in Nigeria, they resort to cheap talk about some northern or southern agenda. Are you saying that these bankers were distributing their money with southerners?

“I recall that when Prof. Chukwuma Soludo came up with banking consolidation in 2004, there was also an outcry by some bankers who were losing out with the campaign that Soludo was pursuing Igbo agenda. But looking back today, assuming Soludo had not consolidated the banks then, we would not even be talking of any banking sector today,” he contended.

The presidential spokesman posed the following questions: Why would CBN pump in about N420 billion to bail out the five banks owned by people we have identified not as Nigerians but southerners? Why would Sanusi appoint southerners to replace the ones he removed? Why would he use our collective wealth as a nation to stabilize the savings of people who, if we buy the current argument, are southerners?
Describing the decision as one taken in the national interest, he advised Nigerians to “focus on the real issues,” pointing out that nobody had been able to disprove the fact that the five banks affected were in serious mess with potential threat to the country’s economy.

He said the Federal Government was comfortable with the Sanusi-led reforms, urging Nigerians to cooperate with him and the new management teams already put in place in the five banks.
Saying Sanusi’s intervention is already yielding positive results, Adeniyi said the mere fact that most of the big debtors in the country’s banks who had hitherto refused to honour their obligations had started paying back their debts should be seen as a good development.
The presidential spokesman also hinted that President Yar’Adua was expected back in Abuja on Monday after being away in the past one week to Saudi Arabia for scheduled medical check-up and the performance of the lesser hajj.

How about Igbo states deporting all the hausa beggars in Igboland? There are thousands of them in Ama Awusa (Awusa quarters) in Owerri, Garricky in Enugu, Bridgehead in Onitsha, Cattle market in Okigwe, Aba and Umuahia.

Also, while travelling to Benin From Port Harcourt via the East West Road, you have hundreds of lepers begging along the road around Bayelsa state. Are those hausas too? If so, should they be deported?

Now the above is happening in Yorubaland. Hahahah wonders shall never end.
