It's an personal decision. Only you can decide how closely you want to live an devout life and follow scripture.

I commend you for keeping your legs closed and keep your part of the agreement during this ordeal.

Haiti, Raped by the U.S. Since 2004, and Still Bleeding

A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford
The horrific squandering of Haitian lives and earthquake relief and aid dollars by the occupying powers over the past two years are direct consequences of previous imperial crimes. “Since 2004, Haiti has been methodically stripped of its sovereignty, made into a protectorate of the United Nations,” which is merely a front for the United States. “The earthquake of January 2010 was a natural phenomenon that happened to take place while a rape was in progress.”

Haiti, Raped by the U.S. Since 2004, and Still Bleeding
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford
“The United States has flexed every superpower muscle to prolong Haiti’s agony.”
In the American media, Haiti is most often spoken of as a tragedy – when it is actually the scene of horrific crimes, mainly perpetrated by the United States over the span of two centuries. For the past two years, since the earthquake that shook the life out of hundreds of thousands of already deeply wounded people, the United States has flexed every superpower muscle to prolong Haiti’s agony.
Half a million people are still homeless, two years after the quake, despite the billions in relief and recovery aid pledged by international donors. Sixty percent of the rubble has yet to be removed from the capital and its suburbs, and 6,000 people have died from a cholera epidemic brought into the country by United Nations troops. The UN has still not seen fit to apologize for being the vector of disease, because the UN is not accountable to the people of Haiti – only to the United States. The Americans used a huge chunk of their so-called aid money to reimburse themselves for the cost of their military occupation of the country. Dead, dying, sick, starving, homeless Haitians are made to pay for their own imprisonment in their native land, while Washington gloats that it is Haiti’s last, best hope, and that the catastrophic earthquake might have been a good thing, a chance for a “new beginning” under Washington's firm guidance.
Millions were spent to choreograph crooked elections that brought to office a government with no power, even less money, and not a shred of dignity – a puppet regime held in absolute disrespect by its American puppeteers.
“Washington gloats that it is Haiti’s last, best hope, and that the catastrophic earthquake might have been a good thing.”
Meanwhile, Haiti’s most popular political party remains, for all official purposes, an outlaw, effectively banned from civic participation. The Haitian people are not allowed to speak. And this is the heart of the crime, from which all the grand and petty assaults on the Haitian nation, flow. This week’s anniversary of the killer earthquake is full of morbid statistics on physical destruction, death and disease, but the appalling numbers cannot separate these two years of horror from the crimes that came before: the isolation and armed extortion of Haiti by United States and Europe following her 1804 victory against French slavery, leaving the Black republic with a debt that was not paid off until the 1940s; the 26 separate invasions of Haiti by the United States from 1849 to 1915, followed by a nearly 20-year occupation that lasted until 1934; and the U.S. overthrow of Haiti's popularly elected president, Jean Bertrand Aristide, in 2004, the 200th anniversary of Haiti's independence. Since 2004, Haiti has been methodically stripped of its sovereignty, made into a protectorate of the United Nations, which is merely a front for the real rulers, the United States and its junior partners, France and Canada.
The earthquake of January 2010 was a natural phenomenon that happened to take place while a rape was in progress. The rapists in Washington take their greatest pleasure in Haiti's degradation. Haiti needs nothing from the United States, except to be left alone, as a free nation in the world, to make friends as it chooses. It is not natural disaster that holds her back, but naked U.S. aggression – because all people have the capacity to rise, unless they are held down by overwhelming force.

Obama Sending US Forces To Libya

By Stephen Lendman
1-13-12

On January 13, Cynthia McKinney said Obama has 12,000 US troops in Malta heading for Libya.

Throughout 2011, Washington and rogue NATO partners committed Nuremberg level crimes. They made Libya a charnel house.

Terror bombing caused massacres, mass destruction and human misery. Libya remains wracked by violence, instability, and illegitimate governance.

Occupation, colonization, pillaging and exploitation intend raping Libya for profit.

America's Marines Hymn begins with the lines, "From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli."

If Malta positioned troops are marines, they'll return for the first time in over 200 years.

McKinney said:

"The NTC (National Transitional Council) not only has to contend with a vibrant, well-financed grassroots-supported resistance, but the various militias, are also fighting each other."

"I believe this 'sociocide' of Libyan society (like in Iraq, Afghanistan and other US war theaters) is part of a carefully crafted plan of destabilization that ultimately serves US imperial interests and those of a Zionist state and its US agents who are bent on Greater Israel's suzerainty over huge swaths of Arabic-speaking populations."

Reports from Misrata say Apache helicopters slaughtered rebel insurgents trying to scale Brega oil platforms.

"A resistance Libyan doctor-become-journalist reported yesterday that (they're all) occupied by NATO and that warships occupy Libya's ports."

Photos show "Italian encampments, with an announcement that French are to follow."

Moreover, "(t)housands of young (pro-Jamahiriya) Libyans languish under torture and assassination in a Misrata prison, Black Libyans are being beaten, whipped, threatened, harassed, and humiliated."

"I hope the report I'm reading from 12 January 2012 is not true."

After months of Washington-led NATO atrocities, McKinney's account likely represents a small snapshot of what millions of Libyans now face.

It's the same wherever America shows up, and they're coming back after using air power and insurgents to reign death and destruction on defenseless men, women and children.

Perhaps now they plan more of it on the ground.

Nigerian leader in crisis talks on strikes

By Xan Rice in Lagos

Goodluck Jonathan, the Nigerian president, held crisis talks with union leaders on Thursday in an effort to end a violent nationwide strike over his government’s decision to withdraw longstanding fuel ­subsidies.
The meeting with leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress, the country’s two biggest umbrella unions, came after Pengassan, the country’s biggest oil union, announced it would start shutting down oil production on Sunday.


The talks broke up later in the day with unions saying they would reconvene on Saturday. “We have had a very fruitful discussion but it’s not conclusive yet,” Abdulwaheed Omar, president of the Nigeria Labour Congress, said.
The move by Pengassan, an affiliate of the TUC, increased pressure on a government that depends on oil sales for more than 80 per cent of its ­revenue. Despite four days of mass action that have paralysed the country, Mr Jonathan has refused to reinstate the subsidy, whose removal on ­January 1 saw petrol prices jump 120 per cent.

“Pengassan shall be forced to ,  apply the bitter option of ordering the systematic shutting down of oil and gas production [if the government] fails to yield to the popular agitation of Nigerians on [the] unacceptable approach to fuel subsidy removal,” the union said.

Nupeng, a smaller union for oil workers, is already on strike. Crude production, however, has been unaffected, since many rig processes are automated and facilities well guarded.

It is unclear whether Pengassan workers would be able to stop output from Nigeria’s offshore wells. Any significant reduction in output would hit an already struggling economy.

Nigeria is Africa’s largest oil producer, with an output of more than 2m barrels a day of premium low-sulphur crude, exported mainly to the US, India and Brazil.
Any disruption would help to drive prices higher at a time when energy costs are already expensive due to growing fears about the building confrontation between western countries and Iran. Oil traders said they were more concerned about the threat of attacks to pipelines and oil terminals than about the effect of a strike.
Fears over Iran pushed benchmark Brent oil prices above $113 a barrel on Thursday.

The strike has caused major disruptions to the economy. Lamido Sanusi, the central bank governor, told Reuters that the strike was costing the country around 100bn naira ($617m) a day and that the removal of the subsidies, which has seen petrol prices double, would cause inflation to rise to 14-15 per cent by the middle of this year, up from 10.5 per cent.

The strikes have widespread support in Nigeria and have tapped into longstanding grievances over graft and government waste.
Tens of thousands of people have attended nationwide rallies daily since the protests began on Monday, with organisers using social networking sites to rally support. Banks, shops and schools remain shut, although small vendors and hawkers are still operating. Domestic flights are on hold and youths armed with sticks and rocks have prevented motorists from moving freely in cities such as Lagos. Ports have also been affected.

Until now the unions have insisted that the government reinstate the full subsidy, which allowed Nigerians to buy imported petrol at 65 naira. But Elijah Okougboh, general secretary of the Nupeng oil union, told the Financial Times that there was room for compromise.

“We must negotiate, and that does not just mean going back to 65 naira,” he said. “If anything happens to the oil and gas industry it will destroy Nigeria.”
The government spent more than $8bn on the fuel subsidy last year, which it said was unsustainable. Nigeria has to import most of its petrol dues to its rundown domestic refineries.

Black Libya City Said to Fall to Rebel Siege
[img]http://www.uruknet.info/pic.php?f=17libyan-rebels-guard-black-libyans-.jpg[/img]


Western-backed rebels have made good their vow to "purge slaves, black skin," with their reported capture of Tawurgha, a black Libyan city, after a long siege. Elsewhere, just 30 miles from the capital city of Tripoli, NATO bombed 85 civilians to oblivion. Facing a September 27 United Nations deadline on its "humanitarian" mission, "NATO has resorted to terror bombing to clear the way for the rebel advance."


"President Obama has, in effect, been arming a racist lynch mob and calling them freedom fighters."
The mostly black town of Tawurgha has fallen to NATO-backed rebels after a long siege, according to al-Jazeera, the Qatar-based media mouthpiece for the rebels. It is an event only racists could celebrate, a triumph of hate and Euro-American arms and money over an enclave of dark-skinned Libyans descended from Africans once sold in the town’s slave market. As the Wall Street Journal reported on June 21, the road to Tawurgha (sometimes spelled Ta-wer-gha), 25 miles from the port of Misurata, is punctuated by rebel graffiti vowing to "purge slaves, black skin." Previously, Benghazi-based rebels methodically cleansed Misurata’s black neighborhoods, warning residents never to return to their jobs or classrooms.
Rebels claimed Tawurgha’s defenders used civilians as "human shields" during the final assault – the stock phrase deployed to justify massacres of non-combatants. President Obama has, in effect, been arming a racist lynch mob and calling them freedom fighters.
Government forces earlier claimed to have recaptured Misurata, itself, along with other battlefield victories, reports that are mirrored by rebel boasts of progress in encircling the capital city, Tripoli, and its 1.5 million people. The pace of military activity has quickened, dramatically, with the September 27 expiration of the Euro-American "mandate" in Libya approaching. NATO has stepped up bombing of pro-government towns along a wide front, throwing every available unit of feuding rebel forces into the fray in hopes of achieving regime change before the deadline. Rebels claims to have captured the town of Brega are in dispute. According to the rebel high command, the oil port was once defended by a brigade of "Chadian" soldiers – another "black African" threat that Amnesty International and other outside observers found to be totally fictional. The rebellion appears to run on Africanophobia.

Thousands of Haitians march demanding jobs, housing

Jacqueline Charles
jcharles@MiamiHerald.com

As thousands peacefully took to the streets in Haiti’s quake-scarred capital city Wednesday, Haitian officials and foreign diplomats focused on rebuilding the country’s shattered economy with new commitments of more than $240 million in foreign aid.
On the second anniversary Thursday of the earthquake that killed more than 300,000 people, frustrations are mounting but Haitian leaders and foreign donors are trying to lay the foundation for change and move the conversation away from aid to development and job opportunities for millions of Haitians who currently rely on informal jobs, remittances and nongovernmental organizations to survive.

“If you ask people in the camps what do you want? They don’t say housing first,’’ said Nigel Fisher, the United Nations head humanitarian official in Haiti. “They’ll say jobs first, jobs second, jobs third. Then they’ll say an education for our kids. It’s misguided to think the response to displacement is housing. It’s jobs to give people the choices of what to do, where to live, how to use their money.”

In the northern border city of Ouanaminthe, former U.S. President Bill Clinton promoted job creation as the key to Haiti’s progress by visiting two projects, a factory operated by the shoe-making company Timberland, and a farm whose production includes nuts used in peanut butter to treat malnourished children.

Both projects are in a region hundreds of miles north of the quake-affected capital. But the tragedy came to them when more than 8,000 quake victims showed up in the aftermath of the disaster. Many have since returned to the capital, unable to find work, the town’s mayor said.

“This year we want to commemorate not just what happened, but we want to be looking forward,” said Clinton, standing on the Timberland factory floor in an industrial park that employs almost 7,000 Haitians. “To me, this is an example of the kinds of things other companies can do. There are a lot of American companies that donated money, for example, to help Haiti in the aftermath of the quake that could invest where they haven’t considered it yet.”

By American standards, the number of workers employed by both the farm and factory are small. But they represent the kind of effort, Clinton said, that will help Haiti’s economy grow and its people to sustain themselves.

He noted that Timberland came to help Haitians reforest and later found that it could not only put money in farmers’ pockets, but also turn a profit employing Haitians in manufacturing. The company has operated a factory in the neighboring Dominican Republic since 1982, an official said.

“I don’t think you can put 100 percent of the unemployed people to work in apparel, for example,” Clinton said. “But I don’t think you can build a modern economy without manufacturing being an important part of it.”

On Wednesday, several thousand Haitians marched through downtown Port-au-Prince to parliament. Holding up signs, they demanded jobs and land reforms to allow for more temporary and permanent housing. The sign hoisted up by one man read: “I am 25 and I’ve never held a job.”

At one point the demonstrators pushed against the perimeter gate surrounding the temporary parliament area demanding to speak with lawmakers and a small group was eventually allowed to enter.

The protest, supported by several grassroots organizations, occurred not far from the Champ de Mars, the sprawling public plaza in front of the broken presidential place. Once the pride of Haitians, it has become an eyesore with thousands of tarp-covered shacks of quake victims.

President Michel Martelly announced Wednesday that he was relocating the 20,000 residents of the plaza. Turning to Canada’s visiting International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda, he said the relocation “means a lot for us Haitians. It means that reconstruction is on its way. Things are going back to normal.’’

Canada announced it was giving Haiti $20 million toward the relocation.

This week the EU also announced that it was giving $42.8 million to the Haitian government to help displaced people return home, rehabilitate neighborhoods, and repair and reconstruct 11,000 damaged and destroyed houses. The project will focus on the neighborhoods of Martissant and Baillergeau in Port-au-Prince.

The aid announcements, including another $180 million from the World Bank for investments in education and infrastructure, come as Haitians criticize the progress of recovery efforts. Some lawmakers also oppose renewing the mandate of the much-criticized U.S.-backed commission charged with recovery.

“What progress? We still have 500,000 people under tents,” said Sen. Steven Benoit, who represents the region that includes the capital. “Billions were wasted.”

The U.N.’s Fisher said he can understand the frustrations, but people should remember that Haiti’s problems did not begin on Jan. 12, 2010.

“So much of what we are seeing today and dealing with today is the Haiti that existed before the earthquake — the lack of social infrastructure accessible to the poor, the lack of jobs, weak government,’’ he said. “These kinds of things don’t get resolved by a year or two of humanitarian and early recovery assistance.”

Still, there has been progress.

In Petionville, two major parks are cleared of tents. The country’s private sector announced more than $100 million in projects and Clinton and Prime Minister Garry Conille plan to announce on Thursday a new $7 million science university. Almost half of the money was raised by members of Haiti’s private sector. The Clinton Bush Foundation gave $2 million and bought all of the lab equipment.

Earlier this week, Paul Farmer, a deputy to Clinton in his role as U.N. Special Envoy, unveiled what will be the country’s largest hospital when construction is completed in the spring. The privately funded $16 million, 320-bed hospital is in the city of Mirebalais, 30 miles north of Port-au-Prince. It expects to employ 900 Haitian clinical and support staff while treating about 500 patients a day.

“It’s probably five times bigger than initially planned and built to earthquake standards. This thing is unbreakable and unshakeable,” said Farmer, sitting in one of the rooms of the pristine white building.

Although the teaching hospital, which will be publicly run, was conceived before the quake, Farmer said, it was made possible because of the quake.

“Two years after the earthquake we are behind where we want to be. But I also think we may have had unrealistic goals,” Farmer said. “We should have seen cholera coming. We should have known that internal, constitutionally demanding elections would slow down reconstruction. All of those things weren’t really factored in the projects…. So we are behind.”

Still, Clinton said he’s not discouraged. “By the end of the year, we will have our best year yet,” he said. “I think we will have a lot of new employment.”

"A Rendezvous with History" -The 1960 Collective

https://saharareporters.com/sites/default/files/page_images/press_releases/2012/occupynigeria1325993074_thumb_medium320_213.jpg?1326173038

A Statement of Solidarity with the Nigerian People!-(1)    We, the undersigned members of The 1960 Collective at home and abroad, hereby declare our support for the popular movement against the removal of the non-existent fuel subsidy by the Nigerian government. We support the aims and objectives of the peaceful nationwide action of civil disobedience led by organized labour and several civil society organizations.

(2)    We pray for the repose of the souls of the first martyrs of this very struggle, including Muyideen Mustapha, the gallant 23-year old Nigerian mowed down by police bullet in Ilorin, Kwara State on Tuesday, 3 January, 2012 for exercising his right to protest the increase in fuel price. As we write, news is reaching us that other Nigerians are being killed and injured by the police. We call on the Inspector General of Police, Mr Hafiz Ringim to immediately order his men to stop killing Nigerian citizens exercising their right to protest. We call on him to identify the officers who are doing these killing and whoever gave these officers the order to shoot and hand them over for prosecution. We demand a full investigation, in each case, into the circumstances that led to the death of these citizens in the hands of the police.

(3)    We salute the indomitable spirit of the Nigerian people at this momentous period in our national experience. We remember and mourn the heroes and heroines who, at various times in our history, have paid the supreme price and watered our collective struggle for a fair and just society with their blood. We stand on their giant shoulders today as we take to the streets for a rendezvous with history! Their sacrifices shall never be in vain!

(4)    We call on every Nigerian to join this epochal effort aimed at sending a clear message to our failed leaders and politicians that we are no longer accepting heartless, hare-brained and thoughtless policies from them. Nigerians have sacrificed too much for their ‘high maintenance leadership’.

(5)    We reject the notion that this action by organised labour and civil society groups and the Nigerian people at home and abroad is in breach of a court injunction issued by the President of the National Industrial Court, Mr Babatunde Adejumo, restraining the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) from embarking on the planned ‘strike action’. We support this action, because it is not in breach of any law or any validly given order of a court seized of appropriate jurisdiction. This is not a protest against working conditions or any issue under the jurisdiction of the National Industrial Court. This is a peaceful civil disobedience action by the Nigerian people. No court injunction can stop civil disobedience anywhere and certainly not in a democracy. Organized labour and civil society groups involved are not involved in order to negotiate workers’ pay or working condition; they are, like other Nigerians, involved in protest against bad political, economic and social policies of the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

(6)    We call on President Goodluck Jonathan and the National Assembly to stop the non-progressive politics they are playing with the future of the nation forthwith and deal with the national economic, social and security emergencies in our hands. Nigerians know that those who run our nation’s affairs at the topmost levels are the epitome of corruption and that corruption is the cause of most of the problems we face as a nation. This explains why government is challenged when it comes to solving even the most basic problems.

(7)    Corruption has hobbled the Nigerian Police to the extent that they are no match for the ragtag army of insurgents calling themselves Boko Haram. Years of mismanagement and embezzlement of security allocations, which meant no training, no modern law enforcement equipment and in fact, no good condition of service, has seen the police itself reduced to a security liability as an institution. Even the Joint Task Force JTF) originally deployed to handle the Boko Haram menace has quickly distinguished itself by its corrupt extortion of motorists, love of cheap liquor and penchant for extrajudicial killing.

( 8 )    The same tendency rules the oil industry. We are in a situation where Nigeria that produces good quality oil has to import extremely poor quality and indeed dangerous fuel to run its economy. The President presides over the dissipation of the oil money through a vast network of patronage, prebendal dependants on the state, and national and international criminal fronts. With the vast sums of money we make from this product, no attempt is being made to diversify the economy, except via glib talks and photo opportunities. Now, Nigerians are being told that it’s a cabal of oil demons that benefit from this subsidy, but rather than deactivate this cabal and spread the benefit of such an action to the people, the Jonathan Goodluck government, a great friend to this cabal, thinks it is the people that should suffer.

(9)    We note that the House of Representatives has had an emergency session on Sunday 8 January, 2012, making a resolution lacking in force and conviction. It is a shame that they only had this emergency session and released such a tepid statement in order to avoid its premises being picketed by Nigerians during this period of civil disobedience! They knew the problem was there before they went on recess, they knew the problem will come to a head; but they abdicated responsibility and hoped to be absolved from blame, because it’s apparently an executive problem! As for the Senate, most of its members seemed to have worked very hard to earn national odium. Their priorities are certainly not the nation’s priorities. Nigeria has never had it so bad in terms of leadership!

(10)    Our nation needs strong and honest leadership now! Strong leadership begins when the President understands the power of the personal example. We call on the President and the National Assembly to begin the process of arresting this drift before darkness falls. If they don’t, they stand a good chance of going down in history as the leadership that sat over the disintegration of Nigeria with the consequential losses in human lives and material resources.

(11)     The President declared a State of Emergency on 31 December, 2011 in certain Local Governments in four states. He did it against the spirit and intendment of the Constitution and without proper consultation and preparation, which is why the security crisis continues unabated. As we speak, the National Assembly is yet to sit to approve this Proclamation, which invariably means it is only as good as the paper the President has written it on. By midnight of 9 January 2012, without approval by two-thirds majority of all members of the National Assembly, it will simply cease to have effect by virtue of the provisions of Section 305(6)(b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999). There is no better advert for irresponsible governance!

(12)     We call on the National Assembly to resume immediately and to pass the Proclamation for the State of Emergency immediately. If they resume more than ten days after the presidential proclamation, then the President should immediately repeal the original one in line with the provisions of Section 305(6)(a) and present a new one immediately to be passed by the National Assembly within two days as constitutionally required under Section 305(6)(b). The President must ensure that the details of the Proclamation contain enough to handle the security challenges in these places with clear provisions for respect for the rule of law, which means no extrajudicial killing of any sort and no excuse of using the guise of emergency powers to terrorise law-abiding citizens. This is a law and order issue in a democracy and it must be dealt with as such.

(13)     Furthermore, both Houses of the National Assembly must during this same session immediately declare the removal of the fuel subsidy illegal. Such fundamental economic decision needed the full contribution of the National Assembly. The National Assembly must hear from representatives of every stakeholder in the matter. They must hear from civil society, representatives of the petroleum industry and marketers and government and their mandarins. Let us all come to the National Assembly to make the case for or against subsidy and let our national laws thereafter reflect the truth we speak on the floor of that Assembly. We are a constitutional democracy and the President and the predators causing the rest of us grief through bad governance must be constitutionally stopped!

(14)    We call on the National Assembly to begin to show the required leadership now that it seems the President isn’t ready. We elected them there to check the executives when they get too big for their boots! So, it’s time they do that job of checking the executive now or they have the Nigerian people to answer to, individually and collectively.

(15)     Failure is no longer an option!

MALLAM NASIR EL RUFAI LENDS VOICE TO THE FUEL SUBSIDY ISSUE

Story by maestromedia


We do not need to introduce Mallam Nasir El-Rufai to all our readers, many are still of the opinion he is the best thing to have happened to Abuja, the FCT, where he reigned supreme as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory during the administration of President Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo. While many of his supporters would sing his praise to high heavens, those not in his camp are vociferous in their condemnation of him.

He has been in opposition since he came back to the country and he is presently facing corruption charges over his stewardship, while he was the Minister in charge of the FCT. The write-up below is credited to him, though unconfirmed it was credited to his Twitter account.-

Those giving economic arguments for or against fuel subsidy withdrawal miss the point totally. It is not about economics. It is about TRUST!

The spending pattern & priorities of GEJ, since 2010 is evidence of who he cares for and what.

Under his watch, we increased our debt stock by about $20bn, ran down excess crude from $6bn to zero, FX reserves from $45bn to $ 30bn,

Under GEJ, Dollar exchange rate moved from >N140 to N160 today. Debt stock has doubled to higher than 2005 levels. Interest rates over 20%!

And all this is while nearly 10 trillion Naira, has been spent on government officials, trips abroad & perquisites/subsidies to politicians!

Power supply improvement? Minimal.

Jobs created? Zero.

New Functional Refineries? Zero.

Transport Infrastructure? Zero.

Agricultural output? Minimal.

Private jets? Yes, lots

Stationery, refreshment & snacks in the Presidency will consume about N2bn, with N1.6bn spent by GEJ & his VP in 2012. Does that make sense?

Miscellaneous spending by the Villa alone totals N1.7bn for food, honorarium & something called "welfare packages" - another security vote!

In the 2012 budget, NASS intends to spend N150bn on itself, the same amount as in 2011 to pay those huge allowances. It has NOT been reduced

So we will spend about N320m for every NASS member in 2012, as we did in 2011. Where is the shared sacrifice? Where is accountability?

We must resist the N8,000 tax being imposed on every man, woman & child to fund the fuel subsidy & insist that FG cuts its own wastefulness!

The issue with GEJ is simply that of trust. He has wasted huge financial resources & put us in debt in the last 20 months. We must be wary!

We cannot trust with more money as he will only waste more of it. That is the issue & he can only earn that trust through small steps."

- Nasir El Rufai, via twitter.

The government as a matter of urgency must address the points raised here. We want to believe that our rulers have our best interest at heart.
