Bala Muhammed

Plans to kidnap three family members of the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Senator Bala Mohammed in Bauchi was foiled by men of the State Security Service (SSS) in Bauchi State on Wednesday.


A reliable security Source in Bauchi told Dailypost that the kidnappers were at the formative stage of their plans when security men were alerted, leading to the arrest of a suspect, who is now helping the Police in an ongoing investigation.

It was also gathered from a family source that the suspect arrested,had lived and work with the FCT Minister prior to his elevation to the post FCT Minister.

When contacted, an officer of the SSS in Bauchi, said “Investigation is on going”, but declined to make further comment.

nasonaso: what is jonathan doing more details later

People appear to have stopped reasoning. What has d op posted that u guys are ranting? No details, no source yet fools are hating. It reveals the kind of people we are

This is a missile. Atiku may not recover from this. Obj knows how to throw his killer punch

But truth be told, Atikuu is one of d most corrupt Nig politicians. Corruption is in his DNA.

RINE.:
nor mind am.

Keep it straight, I jus asked a question

Fani Kayode is celebrating Atiku's Misfortune becos the man was using his long Koboko to whip his wife and daugter. He sure has cause to celebrate

Pix not uploading

In Nigerian,if u want mass followership, masquerade as an anti corruption crusader, this is because Nigerians dont take time to study people's antecedent or what they represent. Sometimes we follow sheepishly. For instance, an individual leaves govt today probably as a Minister, or Legislator and the next thing u hear is that he has transformed into an actvist, fighting corrption. Just becos he fell out of power

We need to cultivate discerning minds by asking critical questions. This guys that Parade themselves today as actvists live in affluence. How did they get their wealth? Let's Start with Dino Melaye, he travels round d world posting pics on Facebook, twitter and yet claims to be an activist. How many scholarship has he given out? How many poor people survive on him? How sincere is his cause? If he wants to stage his usually bankrolled protest, he comes online and hoodwink us. Watch these

The man has started on a good note. From the Population. Commission, it will gradually creep into other sectors. For us to grow, we must look inward and patronize our locally manufactured products. Good one.

This report was doctored to heightened tension. They should be specific. At first glance, uu wouldd believe that 35 civilians were killed. But in d report, more insurgents were killed. May the souls of the soldiers rest in peace.

skyfall: Change the name of this thread to "Nairaland for Dummies."

Junk

Foolish thread With no substance. Give Nairalanders names, portfolios and religion like we have in the thread that says APC is trying to islamise the country. The truth is, the leadership structure of apc is faulty. All the key positions are occupiied by Muslim, chairman, secretary, treasurer, fin sec, pub sec, youth and women leaders eetc.
Habaaaaaaaa

take dat: Ok. Welcome to the PDP, a party of empty political ideas. A party that continues to subvert the destiny of a Nation that is ordained for greatness.

I guess you have also forgotten that it is the party that has repositioned the aviation sector, improving power supply, given Nigerians a voice especially with the passage of the foi bill, resurrected the railways system, giving almajiri sense of belonging, reduced hunger as noted by the United Nation, superintended over an economy that has witnessed geometric growth, boost in agric sector and so on.
Impressive cv I must say, even when they often times admit that they is room for improvement

Idokojimmy: It's useless fighting a group of people that have been condemned to fail. The unholiness that characterise the union is an indication of imminent collapse.
More so that the leadership configuration of the APC speaks volume. Abi na Islamic brother hood? http://www.nationalnetworkonline.com/vol10n26/apc.html

I just read the from the link u posted. Word of advice for the APC, convene a congress immediately and change the texture of that leadership structure or procure a casket for ur funeral.
Not in This present day democracy. It ended with Abiola/Kingibe ticket

Our PerPeh is better.

Where him get money buy properties worth hundreds of thousand. That's how corruption begins. He started his as a student and even claims he has aides. See winch.
Well this is a stage managed act, just like dino melaye's masterpiece. If anyboody Wants, the person will go to ur School not ur house, knowing u r not around.
Attention seeker

e-warriors at work
But nigerians are wiser now. We know d constitutional means prescribed for d removal of the president. Its simple- if we feel dissatisfied with the ways and manners in which Gej is leading, we have to prevail on our Representatives at the National Assembly to initiaate an impeachment move, or vote him out in 2015.
NO, oppositions won't do any of these, they want power but since they can't get it becos of their unpopularity, they want a crook way of getting in.

Nigerains are pleased with the giant strides Gej has achieved so far. The roads are getting better, the railways have jacked bact to live, the aviation sector is wearing a new look, security is gradually being restored, women have a voice, media freeom has been achieved through the signing of FOI bill into ACT, the longer desired Electoral reform is gradually taking shape, new universities in all d geopol zones, with many being employed, YouWin, and so on. We may not have gotten to our destination, but we shall surely get there. There is room for improvement and I believe with Boko Haram issue settled, Gej will be more focussed in delivering the gains of democcracy.n

ayodeji752: which kind arrest? Did u follow d comedy from d beginning? How can 5 honourable impeach a speaker out of 32members just because they have federal backing? Do u know d level of damage dat d action of dat 5 thugs honourable members have done to d image of Nigeria? Let him die if he wants to cos he is nt worthy of living.i pray he won't die though

U r d most foolish analyst (did I say analyst?), I meant nairalander I've ever met online. Ur naivety stinks. U lack d capacity for rational thinking. Ur deficiencies are so pronounce. Issshhhh

Its funny how people celebrate negative reports. When other non profit organisations said nigeria's econoy was growing geometrically, no body celebrated; when a UN agency said we have eradicated hunger no body clapped. When they said our economy is set to overtake that of south africa, no body danced. When they said Gej has attracted more foreign investment, no thread trended. Now that we are having cassava boom, no voice is being heard. Naija I hail oo

Power: FG releases N8bn for distribution companies

on July 11, 2013   /   in News 11:10 am   /   Comments


Abuja – The Federal Government has released N8.27 billion for Distribution Companies (DISCOs) and Power Generating Companies (GENCOS).

A statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja by Mr Paul Nwabuikwu, spokesman for the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said the money was released, following approval by President GoodLuck Jonathan.

“N8.27 billion was specifically released to the Federal Ministry of Power for the DISCOs and GENCOs, following approval by President Goodluck Jonathan,’’ it said

It said that the Ministry of Finance had paid N72.7 billion to the Federal Ministry of Power, so far this year, to cover various items in line with the implementation of the power roadmap.

The amount, it said, included theN45 billion paid to Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) workers, as part of the power privatisation programme.

It also includes monies released under the Multi Year Tariff Order (MYTO).

“Other beneficiaries include the Ministry of Power headquarters, PHCN, National Rural Electrification Agency, National Electricity Regulatory Commission, National Power Training Institute, National Electricity Liability Management Limited/GTE (NELMCO) and Bulk Trader,’’ it said

According to the statement, more than N59.08 billion was paid in the first quarter while N13. 73 billion was paid in the second quarter. (NAN)

Sule has said it all.

Governor Sule Lamido in his latest interview regarded the former head of state, GEn. Mohammadu Buhari as being politically naive. Excerpt from the interview is presented here under.


You see, despite what you have said, you are also dealing with human institutions which cannot claim perfection. The NGF is an informal forum; you don’t have to belong to it. It is just for our own convenience and issues we discuss are just purely economic and security, that is all. We don’t discuss politics at that place. Really, the NGF is not a very big issue that you should be worried about. It is nothing for God's sake. But in Nigeria, everything is for entertainment.

But isn’t it about 2015 like some of your colleagues have said?
Sometimes, while the mind can leap out and begin to invite imaginations, I as a person, Sule Lamido, I'm a Muslim and there is something called destiny in my religion, which is God's template where before the beginning of the beginning to the end of the end with millions of billions of years, everything has been put in that template and by the time the time comes then it becomes what it is. Now, who has that guarantee that he is going to live till 2015? Why are we wasting our energy and steam over it?

The APC publicity secretary recently said some governors would soon defect to the party by mid-July, is that true?
I’m highly amused. Do you know what they call self-wish? These are local propaganda which is terribly elementary. When you look at the party called PDP, I’ve been saying it since 1999- 14 years in 2013- it is PDP only that has remained. AD had gone from AD into AC, into ACN, into something else and now going to APC. APP had gone into ANPP and then, later on they are going to something. They are going to APC. Now, CPC is a one-man party. It is not so lost out on us of some parties that see Buhari as their industry. So they hang unto him and because he is very naïve, he thinks they are serious.

Do you think Buhari is naïve?
Absolutely! He is politically naïve. Yes, he is politically naïve. Absolutely!

Can you be more explicit sir?
I would say he should be walking with his eyes wide open because those around him in 1999 were somewhere else. Were they with him? Our people will say if you see a horse fully dressed walking alone in the forest, it must have thrown the owner off. Don't ride it because it threw somebody away. I have been wondering; they abused the PDP that we are murderers, party of riggers, a party of whatever - it is evil. Fine! Why do they want murderer governors in their midst? Why do they want us to be there? Number two, this so called APC is again what you call political fraud because you may change the nomenclature - change it ten times over, did the people come from heaven? They are the same old people. You see, to me, I laugh at it more because the entire contraption is a creation of pain and anger. It is not about Nigeria. They are people who failed to make it in their political parties who think by coming together they can make it.

If you input one PDP governor in APC, they will collapse, it will collapse. You don't simply say because of some misunderstanding and destroy yourself. The PDP has attained a level in Nigeria. Renegade governors, yes, whatever they call us. Today who is there in PDP who is older than me in the party that I should leave the party for him? Who is that person? So, there is no way you will say because there is heat wave in your house, you leave your house. Where would you go? To someone else's house? I laugh when they say that because who will change and go to them; to do what?

I just read that report in Punch http://www.punchng.com/news/police-probe-source-of-arms-for-zamfara-guards/


Let's not forget that the IG is from zamfara too. All the governor needs to do to move the arms in to the country is ranka dei dei (2x)
He has failed. The police college, unprofessional conduct by his men especially in the area of weapon handling, Zamfara weapon, the rivers state saga, etc are enough for him t sit up. or has the situation overwhelmed him? Gradually the soldiers have taken over their responsibilities. And I heard he was confirmed recently as the IG. Ok ooo.

I meant dance azonto

I subscribe to this version. It makes more sense

Its unfortunate that we are cracking our head over this, esspecially given the originator of d report.
Omojua is. An alarmist who has cronic hatred for this govt. He can never see anything good with the aadministration. What is d primary responsibility of d Nig army? Is it right for them to be doing VIP protection work? Must we bring gej into everything? Am waiting for that moment when nigerians will say Gej is d reason why their wives got pregnant
Meanwhile they've forgotten how a policeman Was kicking people for Amaechi yesterday

This contract was awarded at N3billion, yet it is rumored that it won't be accessed by big trucks. Don't forget Tinubu had aa fair share of d deal. These are the set of people that claim to be anti corruption crusaders. Even in d south where topography doesn't encourage construction, fly overs don't cost that much. Am consoled in d fact that it is in his character to lavish people's fund. Don't forget upon assumption of office, he took all d wives of d deputy Gov, assembly members, commissioners, and chairmen to london to learn how to support their husband domestically. LWKMD. African woman wan go learn how to support man from oyibo

omanzo02: @Op are u that timid to see that pic was taken aboard an airplane?, did MKO died on on a plane?

Wise one, where was the last tea taken? Where did Rice meet him? Some of these questions remain unresolved, so don't parade ur self as if u know it all. Moreover, the question remains- was this his last tea?

Many have asked Susan Rice and perceived collaborators to tell Nigerians the kind of tea that MKO was served before passing away. While nigerians await their confession, a provoked mind might just ask: was this MKO's last tea?

Ok, CAN created Boko Haram to kill christians, bomb churches, kill CAN secretary, islamize Nigeria, ask Jonathan to resign. Na waooooo. People sabbi think with their finger o.
I believe if the Op recalls what happened in madalla, Kogi, Defence College etc, he wouldn't post rrubbish
