Nigerians wake up Enough is Enough! One OMAR BANGURA from Sierra Leone has this to tell Nigerians; "I don't think you guys know what you are playing with. You can call each other names and laugh about it now but when you end up inciting hate here as I read through your posts here and a real civil war start in your country you will regret what you are doing now. Your religious and political leaders are trying to divide you between religious lines and you are helping them do that rather than standing up and say we are all Nigerians never mind our tribe, region or religion. That's the only stand that will save your blessed nation. The foreign powers pushing the government to take certain decisions will abandon you when you start killing each other and reject you from running to their countries so be careful. Our 11 years war in Sierra Leone was not even based on religious or tribal difference and see what we did to our country. The worst conflicts are those based on tribal and religious differences. See central Africa,Bosnia. My heart bleeds when I read what you guys are saying because I know what this will lead to. You will be the losers all of you whether Christian, Muslim, ibo, yoruba or hausa stand as one and save your nation together because you have only one Nigerian that has the potential to lead Africa. PLEASE HELP SAVE NIGERIA AND SHARE THIS Long live Nigeria!God bless Nigeria.

JOHANNESBURG,

South African Nobel Prize-winning writer and anti-apartheid activist Nadine Gordimer, who became an icon through her unique insights into the country's
social agonies, has died at the age of 90.
Through 15 novels, several volumes of short stories, non-fiction and other works published in 40 languages around the world, Gordimer eviscerated white-minority
rule under the apartheid system and its aftershocks once democracy had been achieved in 1994.
The writer, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1991, died peacefully in her sleep at her home in Johannesburg on Sunday, her family said.
Gordimer's reputation rests on a series of novels including "A Guest of Honour", "The Conservationist", "Burger's Daughter", "July's People" and "A Sport of Nature ",
which the Nobel committee called "magnificent epic writing".
News of her death prompted an outpouring of tributes, notably from the Nelson Mandela Foundation, which handles the legacy of South Africa's peace icon and first democratic president.
The foundation described Gordimer as "a great writer, patriot and voice for equality and democracy".
Mandela had a long friendship with Gordimer, beginning in his years as a young activist and continuing after his release from prison in 1990, the foundation said.

JOHESU is unholy alliance between health workers only in Nigeria. Is an alliance between strange bed fellows which can only lead to disaster. Members include Lab technician and MLS, Pharmacists ward attendants e.t.c. They started this recent vicious circle of strike action in the Niigeria health sector. Is nothing but conspiracy against the doctors, this can only happens in Nigeria. I do hope they will allow the lab technician or ward attendant equal right to become consultant in their respective fields when they are successful in their devilish demands.

[quote author=mr_king]What is this one saying?[/quote]please read again mr king. I have simplified the write up for you. I guess you are having problem with the writing style, ok.

The first line simply says The world is truly a global village. Internet and social media have claimed another victim in person of sergeant chris. This is a good story, follow the link. Is a follow up story to a previous one posted here few days back

The world is indeed contracting into a village size by the day!
See where the news of an apparent local issues has reached plus Nairaland has helped in snowballing the issue. The culprit has been brought to justice. Kudos to nairaladers

The video received thousands of hits online, as Tomi Oladipo reports

 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bdugcgehNU

A Nigerian policeman has been sacked after being caught on film apparently trying to extort $150 (£100) from a motorist accused of a traffic offence.

The footage - secretly filmed on a Lagos highway - received thousands of hits on YouTube and has been replayed on Nigerian television channels.

In the film, Sgt Chris Omeleze suggests he is part of a wider corrupt network.

But Nigeria's central police command insists otherwise. It sacked him less than a day after the video emerged.

Correspondents say being asked for money by traffic police for real or imagined traffic offences is a common experience for many Nigerians.

It is much rarer for perpetrators to be caught and penalised.

'Reasonable' sum
The film - which has received more than 123,000 hits on YouTube - shows Sgt Omeleze inside the car trying to negotiate a bribe with the driver.

Is this a dividend of democracy? May God intervene for his quick recovery, but i can see a serious legal battle waiting for Amaechi and his accomplice.

Thank you for this comment.
Is going to be a murder caught on video, and one murder too many!
Check out the video, how the dishonorable Chidi came in with clean clothe no blood stain ab initio so we need not even ask for a DNA to know that the blood stain on his cloth is that of his victim. And I am amazed at his aggressiveness, he was ready to attack anybody at sight with his weapon.
Again, we need to retrieve the murder weapon for safe keep.....just thinking. But seriously I pray his victim lives, for peace to reign.

Is Hit, it works for me. Plus the sneakers has yellow shoe lace.

No matter all the silly quarels here on nairaland, i must say nigeria has no greater friend in africa than ghana. It is evident with our president's friendship, celebrity hook up's,etc. Let's not let greed and jealosy destroy the partnership that will dominate africa!!

I concur, plus is more than friendship. Beyond the unholy rivalry, there are striking similarity in both environment and names. Check out Mokola market, Essien etc, etc.

They are just sibling now, Abi which one is traditional couple again?

Is possible today that the super eagles wear the all white jersey with green stripes other than the traditional green white stripe green jersey. Remember Bukinafaso also wears almost all Green color Jersy. However judging from our performances in several finals, we lost more where we put on all white as it happened 13 years ago. This is making me so uncomfortable 'cos I strongly belief in luck/ unluck in the round leather game. What's your take?

Weither you be 'Wakaso or WakaFlatus' na you sabi, short man devil. God go put sand, sand for your Garri. You and your cronies and homies on Nairaland.

Originally named "Dende Aderogba" (IMO) which metamorphose to Didier Drogba for the award of Africa footballer of the year 2012.

Any dissenting voice? At 33years of age I think he deserves this award b4 he quit the stage.

Paulego: [coloring=#990000] I am Just not lucky, i never had a mum nor a dad to advice me, lost both of them when i was 13 years. [/color] So those of you who have the privilege to get an advice from your mum, stick to it, not just telling it to us.

Don't bring in this sentiment now, Bros. Be strong, you are not alone, not all people who posted have one or both parent alive. Yet they still find their voices and put down something from the cherished memories of the dead parent. You are not unlucky losing them at Age 13, Bro. & I am sure you will remember some words of advice you've heard from them even at that tender age and if you do not. You can do well by making use of the advice here too. They are true words on the Marble.
I am captivated by the thread, is one of the best in recent time. Please follow the thread.

I like to led credence to the fact that de-subidisation itself may not be bad after all, the peculiar problem of Nigeria is corruption and mistrust of our leaders due to fail promises in the past.

‎' , and I also know that leaders who inflict pain on those they govern ends up in disaster ', GEJ during Jan 1st Church service.


If this is true, and GEJ is really serious then let Charity begin at home, a good leader lead by example and not by his saying, let them deny themselves first for the short period before starving poor helpless masses to death if truely the subsidy will work.

I saw the article on recent susidy removal in Ghana and i think this is what de-subsidisation is meant to achieve

Recent decision by the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) to raise fuel prices in Ghana by up to 20 percent cent is being met with opposition from civil society and trade unions.

The NPA asserts that its decision was necessitated by the Mills administration’s own decision to withdraw subsidies on petroleum products. As expected, the government is incurring the wrath of Ghana’s foremost union, the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG) – a political pressure group. Both the TUC and AFAG justify their opposition to the latest fuel price hike on the grounds that it will impose unnecessary economic hardship on Ghanaians.

Given how sensitive fuel subsidies are in Ghana, I’m probably one of the few Ghanaians on the surface of this planet who favours the Mills administration’s decision to touch this politically hot cassava, so I expect a few brickbats for this column. Before I say why the decision to withdraw fuel subsidies is not such a bad idea, I’ll like to clarify a few things. First, I’m neither the government’s apologist nor an opposition bootlicker. Second, I don’t deny the validity of the charges being levelled against the decision of the government. Infact, it is true that fuel price increase in a developing economy like Ghana can marginally spike consumer price inflation (CPI) thereby increasing the cost of living for ordinary folks.

Nonetheless, as bitter a pill as the new pump prices are, the current level of fuel subsidies is worse on government coffers; they are unsustainable; they create perverse incentives and distortions in the economy. According to reports, the government of Ghana is projecting to spend a whopping GHC 600 million this year alone on petroleum subsidies. Threading on this path is a one way ticket to hell. It exerts high fiscal cost for government, leading to an increase in public debt, and a squeeze on other government spending.

Why? In order to provide subsidies on petroleum products for example, the government of Ghana must borrow more money (from China), raise additional revenue (mostly through foreign aid), and/or reduce public spending (fail to pay workers on Christmas for example). This is how most government spending including fuel subsidies are financed. Don’t mention taxes because we all know what the revenue collection capability of the government is.

Yes, subsidies lower prices of fuel thereby freeing Ghanaians from having to adjust their purchasing behaviour to the cost of supply. But subsidies also provide a perverse incentive to over-consume and it almost always creates unintended but disproportionate benefit to high-income individuals rather than the poor. This is often the case because high-income individuals tend to consume more fuel than average citizens. If you have doubts, ask those driving around in luxurious private cars to pick up their numerous ‘apuskelekes’ across town whether they use more fuel than ordinary Kwaku Manu fighting for half a seat in a Kaneshie trotro. I could go on and on about the economically deleterious effects of fuel subsidies on the poor and the economy at large but time and space will not permit.

Sucking on the subsidy teats sounds like a sweet deal, except a few things. As we economists are fond of saying “there is no free lunch”. The money borrowed from China will have to be paid back with interest. Foreign aid requires a handshake with brother Obama and Mr. Cameron who will later return to serve you with a cold dish of say ‘gay rights’. And, as for government’s “mistake” in failing to pay the meagre but hard earned salary of my good-old-lady this Christmas, she might respond with the only gift that the Ghanaian constitution will give her next Christmas – a vote!

I will conclude this piece by saying that fuel subsidies reduce transportation cost but it does so at a greater cost to society and the government. Rather than being condemned, the Mills administration must be commended for taking such a bold action over this unpopular issue. However, where they failed, in my opinion, was their inability to effectively communicate their intentions to Ghanaians before the decision was made and implemented.

The Mills administration could have taking a chapter from the NPP’s playbook when the Kuffour administration announced a 50 percent price increase on fuel in 2005. Before the announcement, the NPP launched a poverty and social impact assessment (PSIA) for fuel; they embarked on a public relations campaign to explain the need for the price hike; and most importantly, they publicized mitigation measures such as immediate elimination of primary and junior secondary school fees and announced programs to improve public transport.

At the time of writing this piece, the government is now embarking on an emergency meeting to take a decision on how to cushion workers against the impacts of the latest fuel price increase – something they should have done before the fact. It may be too little too late. They better hope that there is no “kume preko” or “sieme preko” style demonstrations in the horizon!

RIP, MAN.
Any news of the nigga that killed him, anything in the news about him since a year ago or has the case been confined to the cold cases folder by the Chicago police?
Not that anything can bring him back to life but the family do need justice, Abi? Remember Wacko MJ naw.

This is a good buy. We hope he delivers.

Cheers!
